Area worth preserving
I would like to express my concern about the proposed North Douglas golf course. I wish that anyone who has the opportunity would go see the area where the course is proposed to be built. I have spent much of my 28 years in Southeast Alaska in the woods, and have gotten an opportunity to see a wide variety of areas across Southeast Alaska. I think the Peterson Creek watershed in which the course is proposed (not to be confused with Peterson Creek at 25 mile Glacier Highway) is one of the most spectacular. The watershed is a mix of different habitats, from well-drained forests of large spruce to wetlands with lush green vegetation. I have seen quite a bit of wildlife in the watershed, including bears, deer, river otters, kingfishers and eagles. On two occasions recently, I saw goshawks right where they are planning on putting the course.

A better way
If any good is to come out of the terrible tragedies of Sept. 11, we must treat each other with compassion. Now is not the time to argue and fight amongst ourselves, even when we strongly disagree with each other. One of the greatest things about being American is that we can disagree with each other.
Not justly aggrieved
Those who conceived and carried out the attacks of Sept. 11 leaned over our backyard fences in the weeks before to chat with us about the weather. They smiled at the clerk bagging their groceries. And, they researched the flight characteristics of a 757. Theirs was a mission of such conviction, of such fervor and righteousness that they saw their American neighbors, saw the grocery clerk, and saw our sons and daughters, not as "collateral damage" in a battle waged against an army, but as primary targets in a holy war that knows no morality. It is not the work of honest and justly aggrieved souls to cunningly exploit their neighbor's open gate so to enter with a smile and kill his wife and children. This is not the sign of a "grievance unanswered." It is the act of barbarians.
Valuable addition
I have had the pleasure of knowing Clancy DeSmet his entire life. As a teacher in the Juneau Schools for 25 years, I feel an added sense of pride in knowing that our school system has contributed in the formation of the character and integrity of this fine young man.

It's about 95% done and I love it!
After losing a full day to an unscheduled (but lucrative) trip to Sacramento on Sunday night through Monday afternoon, I finally finished up the shelves in my pantry. That enabled me to put away a lot of the things that were sitting around my countertops, thus making my new kitchen presentable in photos and videos. I thought I'd show it off now, before I start my next big project.
Because I only had 1200 square feet of total space to play with, I had to limit the size of the kitchen. Somehow, however, I managed to create a good-sized, highly functional space.
I designed the kitchen space from scratch, carving an area at the end of my great room that shared a wall with my bathroom. The idea was to minimize plumbing costs by minimizing the plumbing runs. With the sink on that wall and the stove on an island, the refrigerator would be set into the adjacent wall, completing the "triangle" that's so important in kitchen design.
The countertop length was limited by the fact that there's a window at the end of that wall, but it's still a full 11 feet long. The island is 3-1/2 feet wide by 7-1/2 feet long. Frankly, I think I have almost as much counter space in this home as I did in my old Arizona home with its extremely spacious kitchen.
Anyway, I'll let you take a look at it for yourself. Here's my narrated video:
It's not quite done. As you saw in the video, I still have these little projects ahead of me:
- Install under cabinet lighting.
- Install trim around walls and cabinets.
- Install transition trim between appliance floors (adhesive vinyl on plywood) and main floor (Pergo laminated hardwood planks).
- Wrap finish (with wood trim) pantry doorway and hang pantry doorway curtain. (This is temporary until I can get a custom door, likely sometime next year.)
- Install white trim on pantry shelves and paint shelf support ends and screws.
- Hang pendant lamps.
- Hang fifth track lighting fixture.
- Put decorative baskets and silk plants atop cabinets.
As one of my friends pointed out not too long ago, the work never really ends when you build or own a home. I don't mind. I have plenty of free time at home in the summer months and always need a project to work on.

OMG, my face turns BRIGHT red after I workout. I hate it, but I've gotten used to it. I always thought it might have something to do with mild rosacea because my face gets red sometimes when I drink red wine or eat spicy foods, which are also signs of rosacea, but I have never been diagnosed.

Oh wow- I thought I was the only person in the world with this problem! I'm not in the greatest shape right now, but even when I used to run miles a day, I turn BEET RED any time I get hot. I was so worried about this during the wedding, so I made sure to drink a ton of water and keep a fan around so I could cool myself. People ask me all the time if I'm ok. It even happens at work if I'm hot from being really busy- I turn beet red there too. Just my face, nothing else. Basically any time I workout, get hot, eat spicy food, or drink. Fun times.

huh ... that's interesting. i don't sweat a ton either ... less than normal, i'd guess. maybe it has something to do with that?? at least i'm not alone!
Posted 29 January 2008 - 10:55 PM
Same exact thing happens to me, I figured the reason why this happens to me is because I dont sweat alot.... so my body somewhat over heats b/c it cant cool down.... I always say I need a new AC unit haha

PAIR OF CREWELWORK CURTAINS MADE BY ELIZABETH NEWMANBritish, dated 1709
Elizabeth Newmans bed curtains illustrate the qualities that mark crewelwork as a distinctive highlight of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century British needlework. With fresh colors and a sense of exuberance, her design takes the Eastern influences of the Tree of Life, long-plumed birds and exotic flowers and makes them quintessentially British. Yet within the framework of traditional crewelwork, Elizabeth Newman adds her own distinctionsthe hillocks are composed of wide yellow and green bands; densely worked three-dimensional grapes hang from vines; and, in addition to the expected deer, fox and birds, there appears on one curtain a blue horse with a bristling mane posing at the lower edge. The second curtain features a white horse and the inscription "Elizabeth Newman her work 1709."
The differently colored horses reflect the design distinctions found throughout the pair. While the composition of both curtains have identical overall appearances, attention to the details reveals the embroiderers skillful play on variations of color, stitches and techniques within the repeated motifs. The lively colorsgreens, yellows and pinks that retain their original brightnessdemonstrate the rich palette of wool yarns available in the early eighteenth century. An extensive repertoire of stitches and geometric filling patterns learned by Elizabeth Newman in prior needlework exercises is utilized in her crewelwork with great success. Highly decorative leaves and tendrils, accented with clusters of grapes, hanging pears and numerous animals appear on both curtains, yet each displays individual characteristics.
Bed hangings were among the most important furnishing fabrics in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century British houses. Serving as a focal point of a familys interior social realm, the hangings provided privacy and warmth while displaying status. Needlework of this type was made at home, rather than by professional embroiderers, and as such represented the talents and industriousness of female family members within the domestic sphere. As was typical, Elizabeth Newman worked a complete crewel bed setin addition to this pair of curtains, two narrow curtains and a valance also survive, all in excellent condition. On April 19, 1720, Elizabeth Newman married Daniel Fromanteel. The crewelwork, as well as other embroideries by Elizabeth, was passed down to their daughter, Martha, and then descended through several generations of the family. A full provenance is available.

Places Discussed
(Critical Guide to Settings and Places in Literature)
Mundy home
Mundy home. Typical rural Irish farm house of the 1930's, with a kitchen serving as a general living and working area. Not just the cooking but all domestic tasks take place here, including the knitting Agnes and Rose sell to a local merchant. The wireless radio, which the sisters have dubbed "Marconi" after the name on its front, occupies a key position; also visible are an iron range, a sturdy table, an oil lamp, and buckets for well water by the back door. As the stage directions note, these austere furnishings are mitigated by flowers, curtains, and other items. The front door opens onto a garden, underscoring the grace with which the five women eke out a living.
Ballybeg. Literally "Smalltown" in Irish, Ballybeg is the village just outside of which lies the Mundy household. Brian Friel has made Ballybeg a symbolic Irish "everytown" in several of his plays, often using it, as he does here, as a microcosm for Irish society at various points in the country's history. As Michael says in his opening monologue, these few weeks in August, 1936, produced in him an unease, a sense of things rapidly changing. Ballybeg, then, marks the threshold between childhood innocence and adult experience for Michael. Similarly, it marks the line between two eras of modern Irish life, as the family dissolves after the sisters lose their respective livelihoods to factory mass production or to the dwindling number of students at the village school.
*Donegal. County in western Ireland; remote even by rural standards, it is one of the last places to benefit from the electrification of the country and part of the Gaeltacht, or Irish-speaking region. It is known for its rough beauty, with wilderness or backwater associations, hence the lingering customs of Lughnasa, the harvest festival honoring the pagan deity Lugh. These agrarian rituals at the village's margins are set against the approaching changes to small village life, just as the Mundy sisters' first wireless radio represents the encroachment of the wider world upon their lives in the mid-1930's.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS) was called to two incidents involving e-cigarettes last weekend (September 6 and 7).
The first call was to a property in Beechwood Road, Wibsey, Bradford, on September 6 and was attended by a crew from Odsal Fire Station.
An e-cigarette's battery was being charged on a bedside unit and, when it failed, it exploded and shot across the room, coming to rest at the foot of a wardrobe.
The resulting fire was confined to the carpet around the leg of the wardrobe with smoke damage to the rest of the room.
Fire investigators believe the battery was being charged using an incorrect charger, which resulted in too much current being supplied to the battery.
In a separate incident, firefighters were called to a property in St Leonards Grove, Girlington, on September 7).
In this instance the battery was being charged with a charger supplied with the e-cigarette approximately two months earlier. It had been on charge for 15 to 20 minutes in a bedroom whilst the occupants were downstairs.
Again the battery exploded and this time set fire to the carpet, a wicker bedside unit and the edge of the bed.
A smoke detector sounded and the occupants were alerted.
Fire Investigator Sean Fearon said: "The fire service is very concerned with the increased number of fires involving e-cigarette batteries whilst on charge.
"Fire Investigators are in liaison with Trading Standards as a number of counterfeit goods have been identified previously and this can increase the likelihood of fires occurring.
"When the batteries fail they can explode. This generally results in burning battery materials being ejected into a room. Although they only burn for a short time, if they land on combustible materials like bedding or newspaper it will cause a fire to develop.
"Likewise, if somebody happens to be nearby when it happens they could get injured."
Advice for using e-cigarettes
Never leave e-cigarette batteries unattended whilst on charge.
Only use the charger supplied with the battery as they need to be charged at the correct rate of charge.
DO NOT buy counterfeit goods as batteries/chargers may not have overcurrent protection which may lead to battery exploding.
To assist with identifying the scale of this problem, please inform WYFRS and/or Trading Standards of any fires involving e-cigarettes.
The Citizens Advice consumer helpline can be contacted on 0845 404 0506.
WYFRS Fire Investigation department can be contacted via email: email@example.com

He Wrote the Book On Alternative Assets
A decade ago, when Mark J. P. Anson, then California Public Employees' Retirement System's chief investment officer, went through the Chartered Alternative Investment program, there was no textbook. So he wrote one. Today, his 847 page book -- CAIA Level I -- has just been updated and it is the leading work on alternative assets. Anson, who is still the chief writer, says his goal was to write, "Not only a textbook but a reference book that any person who's investing in alternatives could use as just that, a handy reference."

Wilkins: Herman's generous spirit enriched many lives
Published 11:11 pm, Monday, August 27, 2012
With Bob Herman's death, the Capital Region has lost one of its most distinguished citizens. Bob and Bea, his wife of 70 years, enriched our community in countless ways. They were prominent philanthropists who generously contributed their talent, time and money to numerous local groups. While Bob's family and friends mourn his death, we also celebrate his remarkable life.
I met Bob in 1979 while a graduate student in his class at the University at Albany. Bob's generosity of spirit, positive teaching approach and openness to new ideas were striking. It was exhilarating to be in the presence of such a gifted public servant. I looked forward each week to Bob's stories, practical advice and humor. By his words and example, he demonstrated that public service was a worthwhile career.
Like other outstanding teachers, Bob taught us more than the topics in the syllabus; he shared his wisdom about management and life. And he had so much wisdom to share. Bob had served in high-level positions under three governors and in the state Assembly; he had also worked as an international consultant. Bob captivated us with anecdotes about Averell Harriman, Nelson Rockefeller, Lyndon Johnson, and Nehru — to name just a few. His stories always had an underlying message.
Bob stressed the importance of adhering to high ethical standards and how critical it was for subordinates to share bad news with their bosses. He used a story about Governor Rockefeller to illustrate the latter point. Bob also discussed the extremely fine line between the principle of compromise and compromising on principles. I was inspired to pursue my dream of freelance writing after Bob shared some of his published essays with the class.
Bob possessed an adventurous spirit and an amazing capacity for growth. At age 80, he entered a more introspective phase and began writing poetry. His poetry explored existential issues including love, death and the meaning of life as well as more mundane matters such as cars, golf and hip replacement surgery. Bob's poems were collected in "The Last Leaf" published shortly before his death.
Around the same time, Bob began writing advice columns for two Chinese magazines — Overseas English and English Salon. He responded to emails from Chinese students requesting advice on various personal issues.
In October 2004, Paul Grondahl chronicled this in an excellent Times Union article that was picked up by wire services around the world. Bob's columns and email exchanges with students resulted in two books: "Adventures of the Mind" published in China and "You are Born to Fly" published in the United States.
Bob continued to share his insights about government and politics. In a Times Union column, Bob advised Gov. Eliot Spitzer about dealing with Sheldon Silver and Joe Bruno: "Keep your calm. Listen to them. Be conciliatory but never weak. Be tough without being combative. You can't chase them away. Get used to having them around. You need each other."
Bob was troubled by "the contrast between mirrors and windows." When Bob looked in the mirror, he saw a life of privilege, but when he looked out the window he saw "massive poverty, disease and despair, worldwide conflict, wasted environments, weapons of mass destruction and enormous gaps between the rich and the poor."
The fundamental test in life is whether we made the world a better place by being here. Bob Herman passed this test with flying colors. Bob's community activities, professional accomplishments, admirable family life, empathy and gift for friendship made the world a better place and touched those who enjoyed the privilege of knowing him or reading his work.
William Hogan is an Albany writer.

I previously submitted this AppleScript to provide a way to play one song then stop playback in iTunes. The script doesn't work in iTunes 11, but Up Next can be used instead. Also, using this method, it can be accomplished entirely from the keyboard. (It's important to note that "All controls" must be checked at the bottom of the Keyboard Shortcuts tax tab in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences.)
The objective is to be able to select a single song in a playlist, make it start playing, then prevent playback from continuing after the song has been played in its entirety. This can be done in iTunes 11 by selecting a song to play using alternating key presses of Tab, Shift-Tab, Up Arrow and Down Arrow. The next step is most important: open the Up Next list with Command-Option-U, and check to be sure no titles appear in the list (if there are any, press Tab until the "Clear" button is highlighted, then press the spacebar to "click" that button; otherwise press Escape or Command-Option-U again to exit the list), then press Return to play the song. You can pause and resume the song with spacebar if desired, and playback will still stop at the end of the song as long as you don't add anything to the Up Next list in the meantime.
[kirkmc adds: This does seem a bit complicated, but there's no way to use AppleScript to manipulate the Up Next queue, unfortunately.]

overbought. Internals are obviously quite negative, although the VIX remains off its a.m. highs by a hair. Nevertheless, short of a last hour miracle (which abound in this market), I do expect a somewhat lower close at this time. I likewise will be looking for support in the low to mid- SPY $109 range, which we are honing in on as this post goes "to press".

Singapore drug abusers up six percent in 2015
Singapore, Feb 15 (IANS) Singapore recorded a six percent rise in the number of drug abusers arrested in 2015 compared to the previous year, with a 20 percent climb in the number of new drug abusers arrested, the Central Narcotics Bureau said on Monday.
The CNB arrested 3,338 drug abusers last year, up from 3,158 in 2014, it said. Of the 2015 figure, 1,311 were new abusers, up from 2014's 1,093, and 69 percent were below 30 years old, Channel News Asia reported.
Methamphetamine or "ice", and heroin continue to be the two most commonly abused drugs.
About 93 percent of all drug abusers arrested had abused one or the other, said CNB.
The estimated street value of the drugs seized in 2015 was 8 million Singapore dollars ($6 million), which was 5 percent higher than in 2014.
Cannabis seizures increased by about 26 percent, from 35.03 kg in 2014 to 44.29 kg in 2015, the CNB added.

Last Updated Mar 27, 2014 9:45 PM EDT
DARRINGTON, Wash. -- The body of the youngest victim so far of Saturday's mudslide was pulled from the wreckage on Thursday, for many bringing home the enormity of the tragedy.
Sanoah's great-uncle Dale Petersen said that when he arrived on the scene to help look for survivors on Thursday, work had stopped in his area. A firefighter told him the child's body had been discovered.
"We spent a lot of time together," he said of the baby girl known as "Snowy."
Earlier searchers were able to identify carpet from the infant's bedroom, but a log jam initially stood in the way of a more thorough effort to find her.
"A little baby that hasn't gotten a start yet in life," her grandfather, Doug Massingale, had said while he waited for word about her. "It's too much."
It rained much of the day on Thursday, making conditions even worse for the searchers struggling in deep mud.
The number of fatalities is expected to rise considerably by Friday, authorities said. Search and rescue crews found the job no easier than when they started.gallery
Twenty-six people are known to have been killed in Saturday's mudslide. Nine of those bodies have been located but not recovered. The official death toll rose to 17 with the recovery of Snowy's body.
"As far as I'm concerned we're still in a rescue mode," Snohomish County District 21 Fire Chief Travis Hots said Thursday. "I haven't lost hope yet and there's a lot of people up there that haven't lost hope yet."
He said rescuers were still using dogs and digging with shovels and even their hands. Heavier equipment is brought in only after areas are cleared and there are no signs of life or bodies, he said.
There are 90 people confirmed missing, with another 35 who authorities are unsure were in the area when a hillside collapsed Saturday morning 55 miles northeast of Seattle.
Scores of people once thought missing in the mudslide have turned up safe, but that provided little relief to rescuers who are tasked with bringing closure to the relatives and friends of those who have not been found.
One of the victims found under the mud Wednesday was Summer Raffo. Her brother, Dayn Brunner, a local police officer, has been part of the search all week. He told CBS News correspondent John Blackstone that it was more of a relief than painful when he learned that she was dead.
"In the sense that, OK, this is closure, and just seeing the car just put the exclamation point on the amount of devastation, the amount of force and the amount of physics that were involved with that mountain coming down," Brunner said.
Hope of a miracle discovery of a survivor has faded as the search entered its sixth day Thursday, but Hots said crews were going to exhaust all options in the effort to find somebody alive in the devastation.
"My heart is telling me I'm not giving up yet," he said. "If we find just one more person alive, it's all worth it to me."
Becky Bach watches and waits, hoping that search crews find her brother, his wife, her 20-year-old great-niece and the young woman's fiance.
"Realistically ... I honestly don't think they're going to find them alive," Bach said, crying. "But as a family, we're trying to figure out what to do if they find no bodies."
Seismic readings show there were actually two landslides on Saturday. The largest came first, lasting two minutes, flowing across the river, burying most of the community of Oso and cutting off the only highway through the valley. The tremors were felt by seismic equipment 170 miles away.
Four minutes later a smaller, second slide fell into the valley.
Trying to recover every corpse would be impractical and dangerous.
The debris field is about a square mile and 30 to 40 feet deep in places, with a surface that includes quicksand-like muck, rain-slickened mud and ice. The terrain is difficult to navigate on foot and makes it treacherous or impossible to bring in heavy equipment.
To make matters worse, the pile is laced with other hazards that include fallen trees, propane and septic tanks, twisted vehicles and countless shards of shattered homes.
The knowledge that some victims could be abandoned to the earth is difficult to accept.
"We have to get on with our lives at some point," Bach said.
Bach spoke via phone about a wedding the family had planned for summer at the rural home that was destroyed. And how, she wondered, do you plan a funeral without a body? "We'll probably just have a memorial, and if they find the bodies eventually, then we'll deal with that then."
Other survivors began to grow impatient Wednesday that they weren't allowed to return to the sites of their homes to search for their valuables and keepsakes.
"This isn't right. All of us who are still alive need to have access and find what we can of our lives," said Robin Youngblood, who said her son-in-law was turned away from the slide site.

25 years on, ripples of Myanmar's tumultuous 1988 summer still linger
YANGON, Myanmar — Twenty-five years later, you can still see the fear in the eyes of the doctors — two young men carrying a schoolgirl, her blouse drenched in blood, through streets where soldiers were brutally crushing pro-democracy protests.The photograph, thrust to prominence when it ran on the cover of Newsweek, came to symbolize the defeat of a 1988 uprising in the nation then called Burma. The revolt's end cemented the power of the military, sent thousands of activists to prison and helped bring a future Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, to prominence....

Family, friends honor Nigerians who fought in Burma during WWII
LAGOS, Nigeria — At 16, Isaac Fadoyebo ran away from his home in southwest Nigeria and signed up to fight for Britain in World War II, a decision made from youthful exuberance that saw him sent to Burma to fight and nearly die.Courage and luck kept him alive behind enemy lines as local farmers protected him for months until the British broke through and found him. When he returned home to Nigeria, his story and those of his fellow veterans largely fell away from the public's mind as independence swept through the country and a devastating civil war and political unrest later followed.Fadoyebo, who died in November at the age of 86, represents one of the last so-called "Burma Boys" in West and East Africa. On Thursday, his family and friends gathered for a final worship service and celebration of his life, as new attention has been paid to his sacrifices and those of other Africans drawn into the fighting....

Saving old Rangoon
AS WE SIT IN YANGON peak-hour traffic, Thant Myint-U is conjuring a golden age. The eminent Burmese historian, academic and former United Nations official has devoted much of the last two years to saving the city's spectacular architecture. Despite the gridlock as we slowly nudge through its colonial heart, we couldn't be better placed to recall the glories of old Rangoon (as Yangon was once known). It's difficult to remember today, thanks to nearly five decades of Myanmar's political isolation under brutal military rule, but there was a time when it was one of the jewels of the British Empire.

Yours truly reported a rumor circulating a few days back that the HTC Passion, the CDMA equivalent of the Dragon, would be coming to Verizon as Android's version of the HD2. According to a recent interview however, that rumor has been dispelled by HTC's CEO.
Peter Chou conducted an interview with Forbes yesterday and talked about quite a few aspects of the smartphone industry. But what was most interesting to us was his declaration:
Technically, we could make the HD2 an Android phone, but I have to take care of Windows Mobile.
BAM! Just like that, all hope has been lost. Or has it?
I personally got a couple things from that nugget. He mentioned the HD2 specifically won't be an Android phone. There will only be one flavor of HD2, and that's Windows Mobile. But the rumor I mentioned specifically about the HTC Passion, was supposed to be an "equivalent" of the HD2; not actually the HD2 itself.
So my opinion is that the HTC Passion could be very real still, and could easily be on its way to Verizon. Technically it's not the HD2, just a heck of a lot like it.
I also found it interesting when he said "I have to take care of Windows Mobile", as if he were in The Godfather. As if he owes Microsoft something. This statement hints at some sort of mandatory contract or agreement HTC has with Microsoft to carry a certain number or percentage of Windows phones in a given year. I wonder if there's any validity to that.

The rats threading the streets of Baltimore grow more confident each week. Not just the rodents scuttling away from the corpses McNulty, and now Freamon, but the liars, traitors and sellouts who are ratcheting up the tension as this series heads to its no doubt distressing climax.
King of the Rats is the malodorous Cheese. Last week, his cheery betrayal of Butchie led to the return of a pumped-up Omar. This week, he walks out on his uncle, Prop Joe, just as Chris and Marlo walk in and calmly, coldly, blow his brains out.
Cheese has always seemed to be mostly comprised of swagger and owes his position on the street purely to the strength of his blood ties. Now that blood is flowing over the floor of the co-op, it is surely (surely!) only a matter of time before he too is killed, yet the fleeting power afforded by betrayal seems to have been too attractive for him to pass up.
Over in the western there are, as McNulty has always pointed out, both good and bad police, and both kinds can be rats. Carver, in doing the right thing by writing up his redneck officer Colicchio for an idiotic assault on an unwitting schoolteacher, knows he will now be seen by his men as suspect. Burrell, meanwhile, has left his sinking ship, his final flourish an offer to bring down Daniels. He offers to reveal the still unexplained events from back when both men were colleagues, but his offer is refused by the ambitious Nerise. She keeps Burrell's dodgy dossier though, no doubt for her own personal use at an apposite moment.
Scott Templeton, meanwhile, even looks like a rat and is quickly becoming my most loathed character since season two's Ziggy. He shares Ziggy's amorality but also his ability to cast himself as the hero of every narrative. Scott's attempt to land a job at the Washington Post ends in failure, and so he childishly snubs an invite to the Post's editorial conference (a meeting he had been fantasising about only minutes earlier). No matter, he's soon back at the Sun vocally making out like he's doing everyone a favour by staying screwed to his seat.
While Scott play acts, Gutierrez just keeps on making those calls, attempting to build a career in journalism the Gus Haynes way. The juxtaposition is stark and, in an episode entitled Transitions, it's just one of many. Gutierrez is always hardest at work when Scott is scamming. Bunk is rebuffed by Landesman on the bodies in the vacants only to be confronted by McNulty fantasising about more murders. What is more, Carver sees his career in jeopardy at precisely the same time as Herc gets a valuable new client, one Marlo Stanfield.
The execution of Prop Joe has confirmed Marlo's ascent to the top of the pile in Baltimore's drug game. Even the Greeks know the boy is not to be messed with. His money is safe, his lieutenants have their rivals in their pockets and his chilling words as Chris puts the gun to Joe's head, "Close your eyes, it won't hurt none", have almost a religious air about them. Try as Omar might, you wonder if even his avenging angel stands a chance of thwarting this monster.

7:00 PM, Mellon Arena, Pittsburgh, PA
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE's BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK
Ladies and gentlemen, Geno Malkin is back into the lineup tonight against the Boston Bruins. Geno has been out for two weeks with a shoulder problem but he said he feels good and from what I am hearing he looks good on the ice too. Uh oh. He will actually be paired with Sidney Crosby on the first line today. If they can't muster anything then I don't know what will.
Well you get some good news and then you get smacked in the face with some bad news. Chris Kunitz will be out of the lineup for two weeks with a "lower body injury". This means he probably hurt his ear doing something. So right now that is Letang, Gonchar, Talbot, Kennedy, Kunitz, Orpik. I mean you could start another team with that lineup.
Mark Letestu got called up and will replace Kunitz in the lineup. If you can remember Letestu was called up earlier this season, got to take a pregame skate, then was sent right back down to WBS.
Here are the lines from the Penguins site:
I can't wait to watch that first line play.
The Bruins are expected to start Tim Thomas in net and will still play without Lucic and Savard as they are on IR.
The Bruins shut out the Penguins 3-0 like two minutes ago at TD Bank and come in and look for the same today. Malkin has been waiting to come back ever since he went on the shelf two weeks ago. I would like to say I have a feeling about this game, but I have no idea. Hopefully Malkin can help on the power play. When he can play the half wall he can be very dangerous. We don't have another player that can do that on the half wall so this will make a world of difference.
Lets get this one.

TWO terrified schoolgirls were plucked to safety after getting stranded on a rock out at sea with the tide rising fast around them.
Fortunately RNLI and Coastguard volunteers managed to rescue the youngsters from danger after a member of the public who was walking on the beach spotted the girls in trouble.
One of the lifesavers admitted if the emergency call was made even five minutes later, the tide would have washed over the rocks and dragged the girls into the water.
In a dramatic rescue yesterday afternoon, the RNLI inshore lifeboat couldn't get close enough to the girls to pull them onto the vessel so helmsman Kenny Hay dived into the water and managed to reassure the youngsters before helping them, one-by-one, onto a nearby smaller rock.
Kenny, 34, who lives in the town centre area of Hartlepool and has volunteered with the RNLI for 14 years, told the Mail: "The girls were absolutely terrified.
"They were screaming and they were paralysed by fear. When I first got to them they were saying they couldn't move."
The teenage girls, who are from outside of the area, were helped aboard the lifeboat before they were taken back to dry land and treated by paramedics.
Fortunately the girls, who the Mail chose not to identify, avoided serious injuries but Greg Albrighton, Hartlepool Coastguard spokesman, admitted the incident could have had fatal consequences.
He said: "Another five or 10 minutes and the tide would have been over the rocks and the girls would have been in big trouble.
"They were about 20 metres out at sea, but it was a lot deeper than what you would imagine.
"The girls did the right thing by staying on the rock, they would have been in even more danger if they had tried to get back to the sand.
"They were in what we call a low water cut off and obviously weren't aware of the tide coming in around them."
The drama unfolded on the beach at the Headland near to the lighthouse at around 4pm yesterday.
Mike Craddy, Hartlepool RNLI's operations manager, added: "The tide had come in a lot quicker than what they thought, but fortunately the girls are alright.
"The member of the public did the right thing by dialling 999 straight away and the girls did the right thing by staying on the rock and waiting for help."
The RNLI and Coastguard volunteers urged other youngsters to be aware of the dangers of the tide.
Greg added: "It's the school holidays and the sun was out so obviously the girls were enjoying themselves on the beach.
"But we would just warn everyone to be extra careful and to always be aware of the tide.
"Thankfully this time everybody has escaped unhurt."

She is best known as the first winner of the television reality show Jenna's American Sex Star where she won an exclusive contract with Jenna Jameson's movie studio ClubJenna. Season 1 judges included Christy Canyon, Ron Jeremy, and Jim Powers. Season 1 finalists were Tiffany Taylor, Michelle Maylene, Lacie Heart, and Brea Bennett. Bennett was personally selected by Jameson as a "wildcard" finalist. Bennett's association with Jameson ended in 2007 when she announced during an interview in August of that year that she was no longer contracted as a Club Jenna girl.
While she is married she has described herself as bisexual.

Anyone looking for the perfect metaphor for the 2014 Red Sox season found it Monday night in the windshield of this SUV parked atop the garage across the street from the Green Monster at Fenway Park.
Goodbye home run, goodbye car windshield. http://t.co/xcSMwVPGaE— MLB GIFS (@MLBGIFs) July 29, 2014
This windshield, much like the Red Sox, was demolished Monday night by Melky Cabrera of the Toronto Blue Jays. Cabrera hit two home runs against Boston during Monday night's season-chloroforming 14-1 Red Sox loss. He finished the night 2-for-4 with three runs scored and five RBI.
His second HR Monday was a three-run bomb that cleared the left-field wall and put Toronto up 9-0 in the sixth inning.
Here's the end result up close:
Melky Cabrera broke a windshield in the parking lot behind the Green Monster pic.twitter.com/07ve1GHpLe— CJ Fogler (@cjzero) July 29, 2014
Time to call 1-800-54-GIANT.
According to ESPN's Stats and Info, the home run off Felix Doubront traveled 410 feet. Cabrera served a 50-game PED suspension in 2012 while playing for the San Francisco Giants.
Cabrera's first homer was two-run rocket off Clay Buchholz in the first inning that landed in the Red Sox bullpen. It put the Blue Jays up 2-0 and the rout was on.
Another fun summer night at Fenway.
Expensive tickets. Check.
Overpriced beer. Check.
Smashed windshield. Write a check (unless the owner of the van has comprehensive coverage, then there's no deductible on glass in Massachusetts).
In the video above, as CBS Eye on Baseball noted, one fan noticed that Cabrera's homer did some damage to a vehicle in addition to the havoc it wreaked upon the Red Sox.
Probably a night the owner of that SUV, along with 35,000 or so of their closest friends, wishes he or she could forget.
Here's proof the unlucky owner of that vehicle wasn't alone in abject misery Monday.
Your 2012, er, 2014, Red Sox.
All they need is Bobby Valentine to make it official.

Former Missouri bartender David Cook rocked the world's most popular talent competition to become the new American Idol—by a margin of 12 million over heavy favorite David Archuleta, out of a whopping 97 million votes cast. MF recently chatted with Cook—arguably the fittest Idol yet—to learn more about his regimen, his diet, and his new rock record.
Some finalists, when they do the show, gain weight throughout the season. Perhaps it's the stress—or Simon's caustic critiques. But you actually got fitter as the show went on.
I'm the American Idol. That's what I do. No, it was more out of necessity, just to keep up with everyone else. Vocally, Idol is about as grueling as it gets, because you're singing every single day. I was forced into taking care of myself, and now I'm glad I did. Even if I was voted out week one, the benefits I gained from working out are tenfold. I haven't felt this good in a long time. I lost between 10 and 15 throughout the course of the show, and I probably dropped another five since.
What did you do to lose the weight?
I would do 10 to 15 minutes of cardio work, mixed in with some light weight training. Now, It's a lot more cardio-intensive workouts, like boxing. My trainer takes me out a couple times a week and we run football routes for about an hour and a half. More than anything, it's watching what I eat.
What's your diet like?
I eat a lot of salad, grilled chicken, and fish. A typical meal for me is salmon and asparagus. If I'm on the go, I'd try to do a burger with no bun. I really just eliminate what carbs that I can and eat more lean protein and vegetables. It's all about substitutions, like changing white bread to whole-grain bread.
You did a 53-date Idol tour this past summer. How did you stay fit on the road?
Everybody would go in the order they were eliminated from the show, so it ended with Syesha, Archuleta, then myself. When Syesha's set started, I would do the Perfect Pushup and I would do five pushups for every song leading up to my set. That equals to about 35-40 pushups a night.
So being onstage is a workout in and of itself?
You try to make it an emotional experience, not just for the people up front, but also for the people in the nosebleed seeds. You want everyone to walk out happy. When I would hit the stage, the way I put my set together, I wanted it to be high-energy so I'd always be running around the stage. At the end of the tour, my T-shirts fit better, which is nice (Laughs).
Is there a song off your album that makes the perfect workout song?
"Bar-ba-so." It's a real riff-heavy song, but with a groove and a swagger.
What do you work out to?
Oh, I put "Chariots of Fire" on.
Tell us a little more about your self-titled debut, David Cook.
It's a rock record, but rock is a very generic term to use. I really tried to stretch the boundaries and come up with a different sound and piece an album that way. The record's really taken on that kind of life. We've got some mid-tempo melodic rock songs, uptempo four-to-the-floor kind of songs, and piano-based intimate songs. To me, it runs the gamut. In my last year, I've definitely accrued some things to talk about, as well as the 24 years before that. I think this record would be a very accurate snapshot of who I am and what got me to this point.
And you got to work with your own Idols, like Chris Cornell and Our Lady of Peace.
What's made this experience as great as it's been is not only do I get to write with my musical heroes, but they're actually cool guys. It's almost validating for me . . . like, I'm not the worst judge of character.
Your life's been such a whirlwind lately. When do you sleep?
Usually on flights. If I whine enough for a day off, I get half a day — if I'm lucky.
How come your album doesn't include any of the cool covers you did, like "Billie Jean" and "Always Be My Baby"?
It's been discussed. For me, if I want to continue doing covers, it'll be in a live setting. I want this record to be about what kind of musician I am. I certainly don't want to bite the hand that feeds me. Idol's given me an amazing life in the last year. But I also want to be an artist right now. I don't want to sing other people's stuff.
During the Idol Final 2 performance, we learned that David Archuleta weighed in at "100 pounds, soaking wet." You think you could bench press Little Archie?
If you asked me that question a year ago I would say no . . . but I think now, maybe. It kind of depends. If we're maxing out, then maybe. If we're going for a set of 10? Maybe not.
There's some pretty funny YouTube clips circulating of you and fellow finalist Michael Johns dancing onstage. What's that about?
I think people started calling it The Mavid Dance. Hey, man, when you sing "Please Don't Stop the Music" as many times as we sang it last year, it gets a little repetitive. You do whatever you can to keep our sanity.
David Cook's self-titled debut is out now.

Toni Basil
"Toni Basil" (born "Antonia Christina Basilotta" on September 22, 1943 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a musician, video artist, actress, and choreographer.
Toni Basil
Her recording career began in 1966 with a rare one-off single for A&M Records, the title song from the film ''Breakaway''. Although she appeared three times as musical guest during the first season of ''Saturday Night Live'' in 1975–76, it wasn't until 1981 that she recorded a follow-up, the international hit song "Mickey". This song is in fact a cover of "Kitty", a 1979 release by UK band Racey, written by UK hitmakers Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. "Mickey" itself would be covered in a parody by "Weird Al" Yankovic as "Ricky".
The music video for "Mickey" was released in 1982 and was one of the most popular of the early MTV videos. In the video, Basil wore a cheerleader uniform from Las Vegas High School, the school from which she graduated. In 1983, a follow-up single appeared, entitled ''Over My Head''.
Basil is said to have helped bring street dance to prominence with her breakdancing group, The Lockers. She choreographed David Byrne's memorable, marionette-style dance from the music video for the...

I'm no movie genius, so I got a bit confused during that movie. Perhaps an English dub would straighten some things out.If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos...then you probably haven't completely understood the seriousness of the situation.

did you feel guilty when your child was diagnosed?
this post is for any moms who has a child that has been diagnosed with something......
since the morning i found out i was pregnant, my biggest concern has been that something would be wrong with my child......i have been terrified that she would be born with some horrible disease, or would get something horrible later in life.
when she was born she had her umbillical cord wrapped around her neck twice and didnt breathe for the first ten minutes of her life.
six weeks after she was born i found out that during my pregnancy i actually had a placental abruption, and realized that i could have potentially lost her.
now she has been diagnosed with torticollis.....i realize that this isnt a horrible thing to be diagnosed with. i guess it is somewhat common and infants outgrow it. and i also realize that there are so many other things out there that are much more dificult for a child to be diagnosed with.
but no matter how serious the diagnosis is, i still feel so guilty and upset about it. i feel so bad for my poor daughter and am so worried that she is in pain, and am also scared that she is going to have problems with development later in her life. and i just feel like somehow i should be able to stop it.
so......has anyone else felt like this?
Stefanie - Mom to Irish Twins Liam 7/07 (IUGR) and Molly 06/08 (IUGR, Developmental Delays, Pre-Natal Stroke) and Wife to Mark since 2006.
My son's health issues are pretty minor, but are (I'm quite sure) related to the fact that he grew SO fast as an infant. I don't feel guilty about it, because that's genetics, and nothing I could have done would have changed that!
I feel badly that he weaned at 14.5 months. If he is ever diagnoses with asthma, allergies, certain cancers, digestive issues, etc., I will wonder if I could have prevented it by getting him to nurse for longer. I don't know about GUILT, but questions, for sure.
He also had a bit of formula when he was first born, and I regret that. If he ever has digestive issues, I will wonder about that, too.
On the whole, I have done everything I can to make and keep him healthy. I quit smoking early in pregnancy, I tried to virtually eliminate trans fats, nitrates, aspartame, caffeine, and as many preservatives as possible from my diet. I kept up with that while nursing as well. Since he started weaning, I have provided him with the best nutrition I can. Now that he's older, he gets junk food sometimes, but I know he's had a very good start in life, nutritionally.
Regardless of what we do, sometimes things happen. I do the best I can with the knowledge I have, so that if something ever DOES happen, I will know that at least I did what I could to prevent it.
I never felt guilty or angry with God about any of it. I didn't take the time to find fault, I knew that the only way I was going to deal with the issue was to research everything that I could to find answers. I found that the worse feeling was not knowing so I spent years on the computer and wrote over 1,000 letters to every organization that could help me with some answers. When I finally knew more about it then the doctors---I was okay and I have been since....That doesn't mean I don't feel angry about it now 22 years later but my angry has never been misplaced and especially towards God...He has seen us through it all and still does to this day.
My daughter has more heart and soul then anyone that I have ever met. She is my Hero
i feel guilty for my son not talking. i have read to him everyday since he was born, played with him, educational toys, spoke to him like a million times day to the point where i think he was tired of hearing me speak, lol, pretty much everything books told me to do, lol. he is surrounded by others his age all the time. they talk, he does not. his doctor told me that if he does not say 2-3 word sentences by the time he is three, then we could discuss his development issues. i was like, 'are you sure?', i sought the help of a speech therapist who visits him once a week, and she suggested sign language. he understands the signs for 'more' and 'go', but we are trying to get him to do more signs. she (therapist) said that eventually he would get tired of signing for what he wants and start talking, but i don't know. i am going to see if i can find a developmental pediatrician, i am concerned about this and no one i have gone to seems to be helping ease my fears.
btw, my son is 28 months and can only say "bye", "mama'' (but this is not directed at me and it is more like, "mamamamamamama"), and "uh-oh".
i feel like it is my fault he is behind. he did everything else early, walking, crawling, climbing, sitting up, drinking from cup, jumping, etc., he just doesn't talk. every "professional" is telling me he should be saying like 100 words and some sentences by now, but they wont tell me if anything is wrong with him if he doesn't.
i just feel horrible about this.
I feel that part of what is wrong with my youngest is my fault, i was on the pill when i got pregnant with him, but other than that i don't remember anything different between him and my daughter. my x's bio mom tho is a bit behind don't know exactly what is wrong with her but you can look and listen to here and tell, but my youngest is severely developmentally delayed possible adhd and has a sensory processing disorder and really turned in feet and alot im finding out now. i knew he was delayed in speech due to the fact at 2-2 and a half years he wasn't even saying mama or anything so i got in touch with an early intervention program even tho the first ped lied on records to keep him from it and same with his feet said he would grow out of it. so since about 2 or 2 and a half he has worn inserts in his shoes been thru an early intervention program is in spec ed pre-k and speech therapy once a week and fixing to start o.t. soon yes i blame myself it hurts to see him try so much but he has came along way he can now run with his siblings and thanks to his speech teacher and pre-k he is saying alot more even tho its still not what a 4 and a half yr old should be saying. i blame myself for not being able to breast feed, which reminds me he had a pyloric repair at about 6 weeks old, so i wonder if all that he went thru with that added to the problems if me not being able to stay home and work with him did it but i was asked before i got married what would i do and well im doing it giving the best life with all the help i can get and give i just want to know what caused it it hurts me so much to see him struggle and i can tell it gets to him to. but as it was stated earlier i was given these kids the one with the problems cuz i am strong enough to take care of him and i wouldnt trade it for the world.

Jennifer Lopez will perform at the World Cup opening ceremony, going back on her decision to pull out of proceedings.
It was announced over the weekend that J.Lo would no longer be singing at the ceremony June 12 due to unspecified "production issues."
Representatives of the singer have released a statement to People, saying she will perform at the ceremony after all.
"Jennifer has always wanted to participate in the World Cup opening ceremonies," the statement read. "We have been trying to work out scheduling and logistics. Any statements to the contrary were premature.
"Jennifer would not want to disappoint her fans or fans of futbol. She will be there."
A statement from football's international governing body added, "FIFA and the Local Organizing Committee are delighted to announce that we will have the full line-up of stars.
"The performance by Pitbull, Claudia Leitte, Jennifer Lopez and Olodum will be the climax of the ceremony."
J.Lo will perform the official World Cup song "We Are One (Ole Ola)" with Pitbull and Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte at the opening ceremony in São Paulo.
