In defence of traditional Chinese medicine
In this letter to Science, Tianhan Xue and Rustum Roy take a stand against the claim that it is wishful thinking to rely on traditional Chinese medicine texts for suggestions of effective remedies for specific diseases.
They report that a number of recent studies support the efficacy and safety of some herbal formulas used in traditional Chinese medicine. Furthermore, they say, these remedies worked effectively in some instances in which conventional Western therapies failed.
In addition, they argue that the reductionist approach of isolating a single active compound is not always appropriate for traditional Chinese medicine, which often works due to the synergistic interactions of multiple ingredients.

I've always attributed this behavior to perl's DWIM approach to usability. The reason all three return the same thing is pretty simple: in the case where your regex doesn't capture anything, the actual instance that matches is returned instead. Also, if you have more than one capturing portion, it will push the extras onto the array as well. Try this:
  $str = "Ab stuff Cd stuff Ef stuff"; # case 1 @ary1 = $str =~ m/(stuff)/g ; @ary2 = $str =~ m/(st)u(ff)/g ; print "\@ary1 = @ary1\n"; print "\@ary2 = @ary2\n"; __DATA__ outputs: @ary1 = stuff stuff stuff @ary2 = st ff st ff st ff
Nifty, eh? I rather like this behavior. Also please note that the g only means return all instances where the pattern matches. If you remove the g from the regexes above, then only the first match is returned.

Hope this helps.

I just noticed this is my 200th post. Yay.

Re: 9320 unable to add hotmail
You must have a Blackberry data plan to get email. All email flows through either BES (the enterprise activation) or BIS. No way around it.

The Big Brother stars recently returned from holiday in Mexico, where the deadly virus broke out.
'We were in Mexico only a few weeks ago and that's when swine flu seemed to start, so naturally we are concerned,' Chanelle, 21, tells the Daily Star.
'We're not going to panic but like a lot of people who have been on holiday in Mexico recently we are getting checked out.'
Meanwhile, Harry Potter actress Emma Watson, 19, has been given the all-clear for the virus.
She recently visited Cancun - but quickly moved on because she didn't like it.
'Emma had a lucky escape,' says her spokesman.

STOCKTON (AP) — Sport fish from rivers and streams in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta have higher levels of mercury in their systems than fish taken from anywhere else in California, a new survey has found.
Researchers for the State Water Resources Control Board in 2011 surveyed 16 species from 63 locations. The study found that Sacramento pikeminnow, smallmouth, largemouth and striped bass from the Delta watershed had the highest concentrations of mercury in their tissues.
The state's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment lists mercury as unsafe for frequent consumption, especially for children and women of child-bearing age. Studies have shown that even low doses can affect a child's motor skills and cause learning disabilities. Mercury also has been blamed for fertility and memory problems in adults.
Freshwater fish in California have absorbed mercury that leached into waterways from 19th and early 20th Century mines.

PHILADELPHIA Mike Lowell homered again and Mike Redmond also connected, helping Florida beat Philadelphia 9-7 Thursday in a game that featured a bench-clearing brawl.
Phillies catcher Todd Pratt and Marlins shortstop Alex Gonzalez were ejected after starting a melee in the second inning following a high and inside pitch from Brett Myers to Gonzalez.
Lowell, who homered three times in Florida's 8-7, 12-inning victory Wednesday night, struck out his first three at-bats, but hit a two-run shot off Rheal Cormier in the ninth.
The World Series champion Marlins held on for their third straight three-game sweep over Philadelphia. The Phillies scored twice in the ninth before Jim Thome, who homered earlier, struck out against Armando Benitez with two on to end it.
Diamondbacks 11, Brewers 9
MILWAUKEE Danny Bautista homered twice and singled home the go-ahead run in the game that took 5 hours, 22 minutes the longest in the majors this season.
Bautista set career highs with five hits and five RBIs. He extended his hitting streak to 14 games to help Arizona stop its losing streak at four.
The Brewers scored three runs in the ninth, tying it at nine on pinch-hitter Brooks Kieschnick's two-run homer off Matt Mantei.
Reds 5, Braves 3
CINCINNATI Ken Griffey Jr. hit a two-run single and the Reds took advantage of Jaret Wright's wildness to beat Atlanta in a rain-shortened game.
Wright (1-1) sat out a one-hour rain delay before the first pitch, then lasted only 43 minutes in a wild outing. Nine of the 13 batters he faced reached on hits or walks.
Cincinnati sent 10 batters to the plate for five runs in the second, the biggest inning against Atlanta this season. Two of the runs scored on a passed ball by Johnny Estrada and a bases-loaded walk to D'Angelo Jimenez, who was in an 0-for-22 slump at the time.
Padres 9, Giants 4
SAN FRANCISCO Phil Nevin hit a two-run homer, and San Diego's Ismael Valdez (2-0) pitched 5 2-3 strong innings on a day Giants slugger Barry Bonds was held out of the lineup to rest.
San Diego took three out of four from the Giants, pounding out 52 hits 12 Thursday, a season-high 17 Wednesday, and 15 Tuesday.
After allowing two runs in the first, Valdez cruised until giving up a two-run triple to Neifi Perez in the sixth that chased the right-hander. Valdez gave up two earned runs on six hits.
Mets 3, Expos 2
NEW YORK Steve Trachsel and two relievers combined on a five-hitter, and Mike Piazza hit a go-ahead double for the Mets.
Down to their final out, the Expos caught a break when left fielder Shane Spencer dropped Brian Schneider's fly ball, scoring a run. But Braden Looper got pinch-hitter Jamey Carroll to ground out with runners on the corners for his fourth save.
Rockies 7, Dodgers 1
DENVER Shawn Estes (3-1) allowed only two hits for Colorado, and Matt Holliday hit his first major league homer and drove in three runs.
Holliday, promoted from the minors April 14, also doubled. Vinny Castilla went 3-for-3 with a home run Jose Lima (2-1) was tagged for seven runs and six hits in three innings.
Cardinals 2, Astros 1
HOUSTON Hector Luna's sacrifice bunt scored Reggie Sanders in the top of the 12th, giving St. Louis its best road start in more than 60 years.
Scott Rolen also drove in his NL-leading 26th run for the Cardinals, 6-0 on the road the team's best start since 1941.

The "barefoot diva" died on Saturday 17 December at the age of 70. Cesaria Evora, the famous Cape Verdean singer, had been suffering from health problems that had obliged her to put a stop to her career three months ago. Her homeland archipelago and numerous fans are mourning a distinctive artist who introduced the morna, or "Cape Verdean blues" to the whole world.
Among those Cape Verdean artists whose career has reached international heights, Tcheka occupies an unusual, almost paradoxical place, both avant-garde and a bit in the shadows. At 38, with his album Dor De Mar, the former winner of the RFI Découvertes Award maintains his position without managing to completely override a frustrating feeling of under-exploited potential.

CIBOLO, Texas - A teenager who was missing for nearly a week is back home safely, but the investigation into her disappearance is far from over.
Dwayne Mercer, a Cibolo police sergeant, said investigators are still working to find out who picked up 14-year-old MiKayla Lindow from her home. Last Monday, she ran away. MiKayla's parents discovered her makeup and some of her clothes were gone from her room.
Family members told police that MiKayla had made comments to them that she intended to run away that day. Her parents said she was communicating with several boys on SnapChat and Instagram. They said she may have run away with someone she met online.
Around 3 a.m. Saturday, officers found MiKayla 13 miles away at a Jack in the Box near NE loop 410 in San Antonio. Mercer said she knocked on the window of the fast food restaurant to get an employee's attention.
"A lady who came through the drive-thru said, 'Hey! that girl looks like the female that's missing.' They called the San Antonio Police Department. In the end, that is why she was found. Someone from the drive-thru looked in and saw her and was able to point that out," said Mercer.
MiKayla left behind a cell-phone when she took off from her parents' home. Police said the device may hold some clues.
"There were some questionable things that were on her account that we're looking to see if we can identify some people," said Mercer.
Mercer said as far as anyone facing charges, it will depend on what happened during the week that she was gone.
"We're trying to put together a time line as to where she went the first day and how she ended up where she did," said Mercer.
Police said it's fortunate MiKayla was found safe and said her case serves as a lesson for other parents.
"Not only about this case, its social media in general. Be aware of what your kids are doing. Educate them on the kind of people they're talking to on these social media [websites and apps]. They're not going to be that person the majority of the time," said Mercer.
MiKayla's father said his daughter is resting at home. On Sunday, he wrote a statement about her safe return on his Facebook page:
Dear Friends and Family,
By now you have probably heard that MiKayla has been found and returned to us. She is okay as are we. We are all extremely tired but rejoicing in her safety. Information must remain very limited at this time as the police investigation continues.
We cannot begin to express our appreciation to our church family, extended family, friends, law enforcement agencies, media and complete strangers who have prayed, walked the streets, put up flyers, posted on social media, conducted interviews... We will never know what flyer, media report, or action by law officials was the key to her return but it all worked together to bring her home.
Times like this reveal the beautiful hearts of so many. We have been touched by some incredible policemen, detectives and other law enforcement agents. I wish I could give names but there are too many and I fear I would overlook some beautiful person.
Above and beyond all we give glory to our Lord Jesus Christ would has sustained us through His Word and His Body called the church. Isaiah 43 has been our consolation. He has indeed walked with us through the flood and we have not been overwhelmed and we have gone through the fire and have not been burned. (singed but not burned :o)
Please continue to pray and lift MiKayla before the Lord that healing will come quickly to her heart and mind. We will lay low for a few days but will be back in the action soon.
Love to all of you,
Pastor David and Lisa

Intelligence Report: Cost-Containment Expertise
Vincent G. Capece Jr., president and CEO of Middlesex Hospital, a 180-staffed-bed nonprofit community hospital in Middletown, Conn., relies on productivity standards to optimize staffing levels. "Labor represents the largest percentage of our operating expense, but it's our most vital resource because we are the people who deliver care.
Our organization is the people. Our goal is to try to accomplish the expense reductions we have planned without having any layoffs. Instead, we're trying to manage much more tightly than we have in the past. Our managers get detailed reports on a shift-by-shift basis as to how many resources they're using, labor resources in particular, and how those resources compare to the resources they should be using. They have to explain variances."
Watch supply chain
Purchasing and supply-chain efficiencies are the most common nonlabor process-related cost-saving techniques, providing the highest-dollar-value reductions for 25% of respondents. In addition, nearly one-fifth (19%) see their biggest nonlabor cost savings through improved utilization of clinical resources—using tactics such as tighter inventory control and keeping close tabs on the use of lab services and imaging services.
Louis Papoff, CFO for physician services for the Chicago and Detroit markets of Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare Corporation, summarizes the economics of inventory. In addition to the outlay for the supplies themselves, he says, "You incur expenses for the storage of inventory. Additionally, you incur staffing expense to manage that inventory, and excessive inventory negatively impacts cash flow."
Inventory control initiatives depend on staff buy-in, so, as with labor efficiencies, communication and physician alignment can be keys to success.

Danone's history
Jude Delisle went into business in the early 1930's. Starting out as a cottage industry, his fresh dairy product business began to rapidly expand with the construction of a plant in Boucherville, Quebec in 1968. Today Danone is Canada's industry leader, with distinctive values that have helped it achieve a level of performance excellence year after year.
A cottage industry
Jude Delisle was born in 1888 in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. During a trip to France, he discovered yogurt and its healthy benefits. Two years later, he received help from the Pasteur Institute and acquired lactic starter. He was now prepared to begin yogurt production for himself.
Delisle set up business in Montreal, first in a little workshop on Duluth Street and then, in 1951, in more spacious quarters on Berri Street. With the move he increased his production from 20 tubs of yogurt a day to 4,000. His first buyers were doctors who prescribed yogurt as a medication, and Montrealers of European descent, who were soon enthusiastically spreading the word.
Delisle's advertising included advertising and packaging that trumpeted yogurt's beneficial effects on digestion. Little by little, the product began to interest a growing customer base. This is when visionary businessman Leslie Jonas joined the Delisle adventure.
A going concern
Leslie Jonas acquired Delisle in 1963. At that time, the market was just being introduced to fresh-fruit yogurt. With annual revenues of $90,000, Delisle was the fourth largest yogurt producer. To increase its competitive edge, the company concentrated on quality, innovation, distribution and marketing, and developing employee skills.
By 1967, Delisle had become the leading yogurt producer in Canada. In 1968, industrial production was being handled in the company's modern facility in Boucherville. The competition was fierce and the business was kept on a solid growth trajectory by a continuous introduction of new products and going into new markets.
In 1975, Silhouette, the first fat-free yogurt, was launched. Revenues exceeded $40 million in 1980. In 1993, Delisle joined the Danone Group and began its quest to conquer the market in Western Canada. Delisle became Danone Canada four years later in 1997.
The golden age
In 2004, the launch of Activia marked a significant turning point in the history of Danone in Canada, as it was the first of a new generation of yogurts containing probiotic cultures. It was the subject of numerous clinical trials and its cultures are scientifically proven to survive passage through the digestive system and play a vital role in the intestinal ecosystem.
In 2009, Danone invested massively in its plant to produce DanActive, a probiotic drinkable yogurt that contributes to healthy gut flora.
In 2011, Danone in Canada introduced OIKOS, a thick and creamy Greek yogurt. Its rich, smooth texture and unique tangy taste is a result of a careful straining method inspired by Greek tradition.
In 2014, Danone innovated with the launch of Danette, a dairy dessert made of fresh Canadian milk. Danette is new to Canada, but it has a long history of being one of France's favourite family desserts. Danette is being sold in 27 countries over the past 40 years.
2015 was marked by the launch of YoCrunch, a great option for families looking for an indulgence at the end of a meal that is more nutritious than many other popular desserts.
Year after year, Danone in Canada invests millions of dollars in its Boucherville plant contributing to the economic development of the region. We believe that food plays a major role in promoting health and well-being for everyone. Health and Nutrition are at the cornerstone of our business model and, with brands such as Activia, DanActive, Oikos, Danino, Danone, Danette & YoCrunch, Danone in Canada is the country's top yogurt producer.

Whistling Billy and the The Hanging Tree
Whistling Billy is one of the most noticeable relics from Coulterville's mining days. The eight-ton Porter Locomotive's final stop was beneath the branches of the town's old hanging tree. This little steam engine was shipped around the Horn and came to Coulterville in 1897 by mule team. Purchased by the Merced Gold Mining Company for $3,500, Billy ran on thirty-inch gauge track and was capable of hauling fifteen ore cars, each weighing five tons when full. Its four-mile route ran from the Mary Harrison Mine to the "Forty-Stamper" located at Black Creek. It was a steep and twisting climb, for which it earned the title, "Crookedest Railway in the World." At one point where the track crossed Maxwells Creek, the train was fifty feet high on a wooden trestle.
The Hanging Tree which now shades Whistling Billy rather than the dangling corpse of some badman swinging in the breeze, is a giant gnarly oak which the old-timers insist was once the town's official hanging tree. Of the many hangings this noble tree has supported, one of the most dramatic occurred at daybreak on March 16 of 1856, when Leon Ruiz was hanged for the vicious robbery and murder of two Chinese miners at Bear Valley, from whose sluice he had stolen more than $600 in gold.

Jealous and he is far awayVisitor's Question from a 21-30 year old Female
Here is my situation, my husband is in the military and when we were dating he was cheating on me and talking to other women. I did not find out until the end when we were about to get married, though I found out he was talking to other females. A few months AFTER we got married he admitted he had cheated on me on one occasion. Now we have been married for one year and he is back to the place where he cheated on me I fear he will do it again since he is so far away. Everytime he talks to me I think he hangs up and goes somewhere or if he doesnt call me I think he is doing something. We fight constantly almost everyday we always hang up not upset but it is getting tiring for me. I try to understand him but sometimes he just looks for reasons to fight with me. He tells me he loves me and not to worry that is fine but I just dont believe ANYTHING he tells me. I trusted him 100% but when he cheated on me it was a blow to my self esteem and my trust toward him. He used to lie to me ALL THE TIME. He says things are different now we are married but I just do not believe him. What can I do to overcome it?
RomanceClass.com Advice
You don't trust him.
And looking at the past you have good reason. But he may have changed his ways now that you are married. My advice is to trust him and put away those jealous, untrusting feelings.
Trust is one of the most important aspects of a relationship and without it the relationship will fail or be very bad.

Good luck! George

It's from both nozzles and there's a couple of streaks from each that go across the bonnet as if fluid has fallen by gravity, so it's definately washer fluid. There's also general marking around the nozzles. It's a short of blue-ish colour. I've not touched the washer fluid so it's as supplied by Ford. Is the paint that rubbish that it can be damaged by washer fluid? If so it's going back to the dealer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rail Industry Responds to Proposed Federal Regulations on Rail Movement of Nation's Growing Domestic Energy Resources
WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 30, 2014 – The Association of American Railroads (AAR) today reiterated the freight rail industry's commitment to the safe movement of flammable liquids by rail and improved tank car standards, and provided its comments on extensive proposed regulations under consideration by the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA). The AAR pointed out that when considering the final rule, DOT should take into account not only the crude by rail safety measures outlined in the industry's voluntary agreement with DOT Secretary Anthony Foxx, but the fact that the increased movement of crude oil, in particular, represents America's move toward energy independence.
AAR also noted that freight rail traffic is rebounding to pre-recession levels, including growth in everything from grain to automobiles to domestic energy resources like crude oil and ethanol, and that there is a changing traffic mix on rail lines throughout the country. This has resulted in some service issues that AAR noted highlight the importance of weighing consequences of new speed restrictions that could curb network fluidity and the railroads' ability to meet demand to move more freight as America's economy continues to grow.
"Railroads are proud of their hazardous materials safety record, which reflects steadfast attention to training and protocols, as well as a constant focus on safety improvement and advancement," said AAR President and CEO Edward R. Hamberger. "Railroads have been at the forefront of advocating for safer tank car standards and we believe the public supports regulation that weighs both safety and the ability to move people and goods in a timely and efficient manner."
Among its comments, AAR urged PHMSA to:
Require 40 MPH speed limits only in federally designated high-threat urban areas for trains with at least one legacy DOT-111 tank car moving flammable liquids, as the industry agreed to implement for crude oil by July 1, 2014, as part of the voluntary agreement with DOT. This additional speed restriction would be on top of industry's self-imposed nationwide 50 mph limit for trains with 20 or more cars loads of any hazardous material.
Refrain from requiring electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes on tank cars used to move flammable liquids, as they are very costly systems not justified in terms of improved safety benefits, and could result in negative operational impacts on the network. AAR also noted that under its voluntary agreement with DOT, railroads already have addressed braking systems for trains moving crude oil, using either distributed power or two-way-telemetry end-of-train devices on trains carrying crude oil.
Increase federal tank car specifications by adopting a new federal requirement for a 1/2-inch shell for new cars in flammable liquid service, plus a 1/8-inch jacket and thermal protection. AAR also urged PHMSA to require full-height head shields, appropriately-sized pressure relief devices, bottom-outlet handle protection and top-fittings protection. From a safety standpoint, these proposed new federal standards would dramatically reduce the likelihood of a release in an accident by over 81 percent over current non-jacketed DOT-111 tank cars.
Require the aggressive retrofit or phase out existing flammable liquid tank cars as soon as possible while still enabling the industry to meet increased demand to move flammable liquids by rail. Existing jacketed tank cars should be retrofitted with appropriately-sized pressure relief devices and bottom-outlet handle protection, while non-jacketed legacy DOT-111 cars should be retrofitted with jackets, thermal protection, full-height head shields, appropriately-sized pressure relief devices, bottom-outlet handle protection and top-fittings protection. Newer CPC-1232 cars without a jacket should be retrofitted with jackets, thermal protection, full-height head shields, appropriately-sized pressure relief devices and bottom-outlet handle protection. The comments also support placing a priority on cars used for crude oil and ethanol since they account for most unit train service for flammable liquids, while the highest priority being legacy unjacketed DOT-111 tank cars carrying crude oil, which should be retrofitted within three years.
"Requiring the use of ECP braking systems on flammable liquid trains is neither justified by federal and industry safety data, nor practical given the industry's intense focus on improving network fluidity to better serve our customers and delivering for America's growing economy," Hamberger said. "The safety data simply isn't there to justify implementing this complex and costly system – not to mention significant potential efficiency downsides."
At the request of DOT Secretary Foxx earlier this year, AAR collaborated with oil industry customers represented by the American Petroleum Institute and identified the proposed new tank car standards for flammable liquids, as well as retrofit standards for tank cars currently used to move crude oil.
"Railroads have long supported improved tank car safety, and have a long history of collaborating with our customers and suppliers through the industry Tank Car Committee and most recently thanks to the leadership of Secretary Foxx," Hamberger said. "These new tank car specifications will greatly reduce the likelihood of a release due to an accident. We believe they should be implemented as aggressively as possible so that railroads can continue to provide the safe rail movement of flammable liquids our economy depends upon."
In addition to filing comments on the NPRM, AAR submitted a response to PHMSA's advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on oil spill response plans for trains moving flammable liquids. Similar to the significant voluntary operational steps taken by railroads around the movement of flammable liquids, railroads have invested tremendous resources and attention to address railroad and community preparedness.
"In response to PHMSA's request for information, the railroads presented a possible regulatory text for railroad oil spill response plans that will augment the plans railroads already have in place today," Hamberger noted.
AAR noted that its approach to the proposed regulatory language exceeds the current federal requirements, and follows the logic and scope of regulations that apply to the pipeline industry. The proposed text addresses subjects such as: who is required to submit a plan, to whom the plan should be submitted, worst-case scenarios for discharge from a tank car, required response resources, as well as training and recordkeeping.

The Cardinals finished 7-8-1 last year. Honestly, that's a win/loss record some might prefer a real loser of a season to shake things up. But this is .500 territory, and nothing is worse than .500 territory. With that said, the defense was a bright-side, as they finished second best in the NFL (yards allowed). But that didn't translate into any semblance of domination. Going into the draft rumors had it that Arizona was gunning for a quarterback at number 13. Alas, this wasn't the case, but overall the Cardinals did quite nicely. That number 13 pick went to linebacker Haason Reddick out of Temple, which along with Budda Baker, a safety out of Washington, the defense will remain solid. Free agent departures Calais Campbell and Tony Jefferson certainly does not leave head coach Bruce Arians sleeping peacefully, but Reddick and Baker should provide some nice performance talking points leading up to Week 1.
Carson Palmer needs some help on the offensive side of the ball, and wideout Chad Williams from Grambling coupled with T.J. Logan, a running back from North Carolina, will complement the Cardinal attack. Logan ran a blazing 4.37-40 at the combine, which certainly caught everyone's attention. David Johnson is one of the best at running back in the NFL and combined with Larry Fitzgerald it is a bit head-scratching how this team only ended up at 7-8-1. Palmer took a beating in the backfield in 2016, getting sacked 40 times plus a head-ringing concussion. He'll be 38 so it would be foolish to think Arizona isn't thinking about the future. If the same guy who battled Cam Newton for the 2015 MVP is still lurking about, 2017 is the time to bring it out. TicketCity is the place to go for Arizona Cardinals tickets. Whether you are planning on cheering on the Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium, or supporting Arizona on the road, TicketCity has some of the best deals for all Arizona Cardinals tickets, including home and away games.
The Cardinals call the University of Phoenix Stadium home. The AZ Cards football stadium is located in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona. University of Phoenix Stadium holds 65 thousand screaming fans when filled to capacity. The Pat Tillman plaza is a popular place to go while at the Cardinals stadium. The plaza is named in honor of former AZ Cardinal and Arizona State Sun Devil Pat Tillman, who left football to join the war effort in Afghanistan and eventually lost his life in 2002. The Arizona Cardinals home bench is on the University of Phoenix Stadium sideline with sections 104-112. University of Phoenix Stadium parking information is covered in the TicketCity Arizona Cardinals event guide.
Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers
The Arizona Cardinals vs. Rams rivalry developed from the Cardinals playing in St. Louis for over 20 years before moving to Arizona. With both teams in the NFC West, it is only natural for these two teams and fan bases to not like each other. Despite the St. Louis' Rams recent move to Los Angeles, the rivalry remains and with two matchups a year, the rivalry only continues to grow.
The Arizona Cardinals vs. San Francisco 49ers rivalry has picked up steam over recent seasons and is one of the top matchups in the Arizona Cardinals' schedule. As both teams play two times a year, this matchup is always one of the most heated games in the NFL and usually leaves the players sore for days. Tickets for the Arizona Cardinals vs. San Francisco 49ers are available on TicketCity!
The Cardinals vs. Seahawks is one of the biggest emerging rivalries in the NFL and NFC West. The Seahawks vs. Cardinals rivalry emerged as the Seahawks vs. 49ers rivalry started to fizzle. The Arizona Cardinals seem to be the newest top contenders against the Seattle Seahawks and this rivalry is only going to gain more traction the more these two teams play.
The Cardinals organization can be traced back to 1898, and are the oldest continuously run franchise in football. The Cardinals are still searching for their first Super Bowl, but they have won an NFC Championship and multiple division titles over the years to go along with over 7 playoff appearances. The Cardinals' 2008 Super Bowl appearance vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers has been ranked as one of the greatest Super Bowls ever, with the Cardinals falling to the Steelers in the last minute of the game. Because of this game the Cardinals vs. Steelers is one of the top non-divisional matchups for the team.
The gates at University of Phoenix stadium open 3 hours and 15 minutes before kickoff for all club and loft ticket holders. Public entrances open 90 minutes before kickoff.
Children two years of age and under do not need Arizona Cardinals ticket, but you will need to obtain a "lap pass" prior to entry. These passes can be obtained from the University of Phoenix Stadium staff at the gates. There is a limit of one lap pass per adult game ticket.
Parking at Arizona Cardinals games is relatively easy. Since the Arizona Cardinal' stadium is not located in the middle of the city, there is plenty of parking available. We recommend you look into buying a parking pass before you go to expedite the process.
TickeCity offers a great selection of Arizona Cardinals tickets for their entire football schedule, some of which are the best valued seats on the market. A win streak, opponent, or even a losing streak can affect ticket prices, so check back regularly to find the best deal on tickets.
The Cards are ready to kick off the 2016 NFL Football season after a successful 2015 season where they went 13-3 and won their first NFC West title since 2009. The team would end up losing to the Carolina Panthers in the 2015 playoffs, however the 2016 season looks promising. Carson Palmer returns as the Cardinal's starting quarterback, and wide receiver J.J. Nelson is showing strong potential. Larry Fitzgerald is also coming off of a very successful 2015 season and is hoping to keep the momentum going. The AZ Cardinals also hope that their newest first round draft pick Robert Nkemdiche will strengthen their defensive line and help them defend their NFC West title.
The Arizona Cardinals come into the 2015 season looking to build on what was a near miss season in 2014. For the first 11 weeks of the 2014 season, the Cardinals were arguably the best team in the NFL, winning 10 of 11 games. But injuries to quarterbacks Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton left the Arizona Cardinals to start their 3rd string quarterback the last 3 weeks of the season, ending in a 1st round playoff exit. The Arizona Cardinals will enter 2015 with a healthy Carson Palmer and freshly drafted offensive tackle talent in D.J. Humphries. The 2015 Arizona Cardinals will likely be in the hunt again in the NFC West, which might be the toughest division in the NFL.
The Cardinals were the best team in the NFL last season that did not get a playoff spot, and that can only make the drive for the postseason more intense for the team going into the 2014 season. Arizona went 10-6, including a win over the eventual Super Bowl champions Seattle Seahawks behind new QB Carson Palmer. This year the Cards added Jonathan Dwyer and Ted Ginn to help smooth over the losses of Rashard Mendenhall and Andre Roberts, as well as picking up Antonio Cromartie to help out in the secondary. The Cards will kick off the season at home against the Chargers, and then have a tough Week 3-4 with match ups against the 49ers and Broncos. A trip to Dallas is on the agenda in Week 9, and Arizona will have to finish strong to make the playoffs with the final two regular season games coming against the Seahawks and 49ers. The Cardinals have one of the best secondaries in the game, but they'll need to be better in stopping the run to make their own run in 2014.
The Cardinals have made significant changes in order to improve for the 2013 season. First off, Arizona dismissed head coach Ken Whisenhunt and replaced him with Bruce Arians, who oversaw the Indianapolis Colts while their head coach Chuck Pagano was away from the team while dealing with cancer. Offensively, the Cardinals set out to solidify their quarterback situation, trading for the Raiders' Carson Palmer. Rashard Mendenhall was signed as a free agent to bring more talent into the running back corps. Defensively, Arizona signed free agents Yeremiah Bell, Jasper Brinkley, Antoine Cason and Jerraud Powers to improve the team's overall defensive play. In the NFL Draft the Cardinals acquired help for both sides of the football, taking North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper in the first round and later embattled former LSU safety Tyrann Mathieu. With changes to all aspects of the team, Arizona hopes to change the franchise's fortunes and make a statement in 2013.
The Arizona Cardinals struggled last year after Kurt Warner retired. They could never find a consistent quarterback, often shuffling between the turnover-prone Derek Anderson and the inexperienced John Skelton. Head coach Ken Wisenhunt has made some moves heading into the 2011 season, and there's no reason why the Cardinals can't compete in a wide open NFC West.
Perhaps the biggest move that the Cardinals made in the abbreviated off-season was trading for former Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb. Though he has not gotten much time under center, Kolb has a very high ceiling, and at just 26-years-old, can lead the team for years to come. He also has one of the best wide-receivers in the game in Larry Fitzgerald, who will certainly be happy to have a reliable quarterback throwing to him.
Although the defense had to give up cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, the Cardinals still have a number of playmakers on that side of the ball. Adrian Wilson is one of the best safeties in the league and Darnell Dockett turned in a Pro Bowl performance in 2010.
The Arizona Cardinals underwent a lot of changes this offseason, and with and improved San Fransico 49ers team favored to win the division, it may be difficult for them to match their recent level of success.
One of the most noticeable absences will be quarterback Kurt Warner. The former Super Bowl MVP, who guided the Cardinals to the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance and brought them back-to-back NFC West championships, retired shortly after the end of the season. Warner will be replaced by Matt Leinart, who has yet to show the skill in the pros that made him a Heisman Trophy winner at USC.
Also gone from the offense is wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who signed with the Baltimore Ravens in the offseason, leaving Leinart with Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Breaston as the leading targets. In the backfield, Beanie Wells and Tim Hightower will likely get the majority of the carries, but will need to show more than they have.
The defense lost one of its leaders as well, as linebacker Karlos Dansby signed with the Miami Dolphins. The secondary lost standout safety Antrel Rolle, was picked up by the New York Giants, and a lot of pressure will be on third-year cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to perform.
It will be hard for the 2009 Arizona Cardinals to match the magical season the Cards had in 2008. Unless Arizona can play its way back into the Super Bowl in Miami in February 2010. And returning to the Super Bowl might not be as difficult as it sounds because the Cardinals return the bulk of their roster from '08. Quarterback Kurt Warner is resigned and back to lead the Red Birds offense. Alongside Warner is mega stud wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, who often looks unstoppable against the best defenses in the NFL, and WR Anquan Boldin. The Cards will be searching for a reliable running game, something that they have not yet been able to get from Edgerrin James. The Arizona defense will probably be overlooked again by most experts, but they have a salty crew that should help keep them in close NFC West games. The Cardinals had the dream season in 2008, but fell one game short of their goal. The 2009 season will give the chance to add the title of "Super Bowl Champions" to their list of franchise accomplishments.
The Arizona Cardinals are an exciting team to watch this year in the NFL. The Arizona Cardinals are looking for their first winning season since 1998 this year, and with last year's 8-8 record, it is looking like a possibility. However, 25 year-old Matt Leinart, the Heisman Trophy winner from USC and starting quarterback for the Cardinals, is going to have to prove he can be comfortable in a hurry-up offense. So far, Leinart has failed to impress, and has needed backup from Super Bowl winning veteran Kurt Warner. Things are looking up in Arizona, with former Colts star running back Edgerrin James at the helm for moving the ball on the ground, and Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin preparing to make some big catches no matter who is throwing the ball. Also, the defense is going to have to step up their passing coverage, ranking near the bottom of the league in pass defense for the last two years. All in all, this team is going to be adjusting its lineup for the better (or at least they hope), and we should be seeing some quality football in Arizona this year. A game in Phoenix will be a slugfest as the Arizona Cardinals fight to climb the stats board.
David Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald and Patrick Peterson were all chosen to represent the Cardinals in the 2017 Pro Bowl, and five other Cardinals were selected as alternates.
The Arizona Cardinals are 2nd in the NFC West however it does not look like they have the chance to clinch their division as they trail behind #1 Seattle by 3 games. There is still a small chance that they can grab a playoff spot, but it is not likely.
The big news for the Cardinals this week was that head coach Bruce Arians went to the hospital after suffering from chest pains. However Arians won't be sitting out of the game against the Falcons, as the doctors have given him a clean bill of health.
The Cardinals best wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald had to miss a practice this week due to a bruised ankle, however he is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Due to the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series, the Arizona Cardinals now have the longest championship title drought out of all professional teams in North America, with their last championship victory being in 1947.

Newcastle United Rename Stadium in Move Which Risks Fan RevoltNovember 10, 2011
After 119 years, St James' Park is no more. Much-maligned Newcastle United owner, Mike Ashley, took full advantage of the club's current high position in the Barclays Premier League to rebrand the stadium the Sports Direct Arena.
Renaming after his own company ensures Ashley will receive the brunt of the fan backlash, meaning that whichever company purchases the future naming rights will merely be a continuation, rather than a radical change.
A stream of controversy is expected, considering the historical implications of renaming a stadium the age of St James' Park, but it will not be the last to surrender its title as UEFA's Financial Fair Play rulings loom ever closer. In the Barclays Premier League alone, Newcastle United now join Arsenal, Manchester City, Bolton Wanderers, Swansea City, Stoke City and Wigan Athletic in a group which will most likely have increased by this time next season.
Newcastle United Managing Director, Derek Llambias, claims that the rebranding will be beneficial for the fiscal future of the club.
"Our aim for Newcastle United is to continue to deliver success for the fans and everyone associated with the Club. We must make this Club financially self-sufficient in order to deliver that success.
"To grow sustainably and allow us to invest in our future, we will need to rely increasingly heavily on commercial income. These are very difficult economic times and the board have a responsibility to maximise all revenue streams for the benefit of the Club. Stadium rebranding offers a lucrative way for clubs to secure significant additional income.
"When we initially launched our plans at the end of 2009, we invited sponsors to attach their brand to that of St. James' Park. However it has become clear that in order to make the proposition as commercially attractive as possible, a potential sponsor must be given the opportunity to fully rebrand the stadium.
"Naming the stadium the Sports Direct Arena helps up to showcase the opportunity to interested parties. We are now actively seeking a long-term sponsor wishing to acquire full naming rights for the stadium.
"Our shirt sponsorship deal with Northern Rock will also expire at the end of this season, which presents would-be sponsors with the opportunity to acquire both the naming rights and shirt sponsorship deals."
The more recent examples of stadia rights being sold in England include Arsenal's The Emirates and Manchester City's The Etihad. The caveat, however, is that these were new grounds, without the rich history of St James' Park.
The Emirates was initially known as Ashburton Grove, before a £100 million, 15-year deal with Emirates Airlines saw the stadium take on the new branding. Manchester City's stadium had existed for a slightly longer eight years before being rebranded The Etihad, but fans had no real attachment to the original name placed upon it by the Manchester City Council.
Had the stadium sponsorship come at a time when the teams were playing at their respective former stadia, Highbury and Maine Road, fan reaction could have been extremely different.

Talking Nick Drake and Richard Thompson with author Rob Young
Rob Young's "Electric Eden" is a rich, overgrown garden of a book. Subtitled, "Unearthing Britain's Visionary Music," its ostensible purpose is to chronicle the late 1960s/early '70s heyday of British folk-rock: artists such as Fairport Convention, Nick Drake, Pentangle, Shirley Collins, Richard Thompson and others who captured something powerful and strange even as they failed to dent the U.S. charts. Many of them came to tragic ends, as well –- suicide, sudden loss of voice, decades of wandering in the artistic wilderness.
But the book's mission is far broader: Young connects these arts and others to Britain's Celtic and pagan past, their relationship to its landscape, the English classical tradition and the anti-industrial Arts and Crafts movement.
Over all of it is the struggle to find a distinctly British culture amid the onslaught of classical music from the continent and rock and blues from the U.S. The book was recently published here by Faber and Faber. Its author, Rob Young, spoke to Scott Timberg for Jacket Copy.
Jacket Copy: What drew you to writing about music that seems, today, so far away from the hit parade?
Rob Young: "The hit parade" -- how quaint! I guess it was an attempt to fall in love with certain aspects of British culture that I had left on the sidelines in my own music exploration throughout the '90s. At that time I was writing a lot about electronic music, avant-garde stuff, improvisation and what have you, and not thinking too much about musics that connect with localities and communities as folk does.
But at the same time, in my private listening zone, I kept coming back to the folk-rock records that are my desert island discs -- Nick Drake, Sandy Denny, John Martyn, Fotheringay, Fairport Convention, Bert Jansch -- and the more I realized that there wasn't anything in print that told the stories of these artists and their times, the more I started to wonder what kind of undercurrents in 20th century music had created the conditions for these artists to jam their own take on "folk." It's worth noting too that Denny, Fairport, Pentangle, Steeleye Span, and Incredible String Band were actually in the hit parade in their own time.
JC: "Electric Eden" provides quite an extensive artistic back story: We spend a lot of time with William Blake, William Morris and Vaughan Williams before we even get to Ewan MacColl and the beginning of the British folk revival. Why was that grounding important?
RY: Well, part of my argument is that the British folk revival did actually begin much earlier than MacColl and his mates in the 1950s -- you have to look back at the late 19th century and the Victorian folk collectors -- mostly amateurs at the time but gradually becoming professionalized by characters like Cecil Sharp.
Morris is important because what you find in the 1880s and '90s is a surge of conservation and preservation projects starting up, mainly by people who were horrified at the destructive effects of industrial progress on the landscape, the environment and the labor conditions of the working class. Morris was at the forefront of this, and his time-travel novel "News from Nowhere" sets out the utopian conditions of a better world in which the future is actually like a medieval golden age.
Folk collecting -- which Vaughan Williams, who knew Morris, began doing at exactly this time -- for me is a part of this conservation impulse: saving an oral musical tradition just at the point where it was dying out. And so you find folk music linked to political imperatives, and I saw Blake's earlier visionary poetry as connected too. He was passionately interested in pagan Britain and all the mythologies that go with that, as well as famously ranting against the "dark, satanic mills" of industry.
RY: It wasn't what you'd call "anti-American" in the modern sense. But at a certain point in the '60s, I think a lot of musicians who had, say, been influenced by Guthrie, Pete Seeger and especially Dylan realized that they were always going to sound like a pale imitation, and began seeking inspiration on home turf. But it wasn't always clear cut: It was always an ongoing conversation.
The most obvious example is the English folk music Dylan and Paul Simon adopted from Martin Carthy in the mid-'60s; by the same token, plenty of Americans were visiting the folk clubs of London and proving influential: Jackson C Frank, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, "Spider" John Koerner, Tom Rush to name but four. And Fairport were madly in love with The Band's "Music From Big Pink" in 1969.
JC: Why did this flowering seem to wilt after about 1972?
RY: Several factors came into play, mainly economic ones. There are a whole raft of psychedelic folk bands, like Forest, Trees, Comus and others, that follow a similar pattern: form in 1969-70, release two albums in 1970 and '71, then split up. Glam rock was the new thing, and those kind of bands were too "underground" to have the earning power to keep going.
The energy crisis of 1973 provided the last great culling, and record companies were dumping acts all over the place. And of course later in the decade, punk made such music utterly untouchable.
JC: Part of this book seems to recall Peter Guralnick's "Sweet Soul Music" in its weaving of musical and social history; at least one reviewer has connected "Electric Eden" to Greil Marcus' "The Old, Weird America" in its attempt to exhume a kind of lost world. What were your models for the book?
RY: Thanks, those are very hallowed forebears. Much as I admire those folks, I consciously steered away from American writers during the three years I was writing "Electric Eden." My models were really people like Peter Ackroyd, who has analyzed many aspects of the English imagination; and the historian Ronald Hutton, who's written extensively on British paganism, druidry and folklore.
There are many music writers I admire, but one particular guiding light for this project was the late Ian MacDonald, who wrote the brilliant "Revolution In The Head," a complete chronicle of The Beatles' music, as well as some extremely evocative writing on people like Drake, Dylan and David Bowie. He got under the skin of music by unlocking its secret codes and attaching it to its historical context. That's what I've always tried to do in my own work.

The Scott Riles
Adjustable Front Sight System
Before the Riles Adjustable Front Sight System, using a standard configuration with the stepped ladder did not satisfy the needs of match shooters. The ladder design does not have the durability and repeatability of this concept. Earlier sights with both interchangeable metal and plastic inserts ruled until the introduction of the optical diopter, adjustable iris, and magnifying lens. The Riles Front Sight System, designed by Scott Riles, further refined front sights for small-bore, cross course and long-range rifle competitors.
Scott Riles now
offers their own 30mm front sight, in both the Palma and the HighBoy
types. These sights are assembled exclusively from parts manufactured
by Scott Riles
Available in Two Different Rifle Types
Palma (front
row) bolt action and HighBoy (back
row) for AR space gun or Tube gun type match rifles.
Scott Riles developed the Riles Adjustable Front Sight System with feedback from competitive shooters to provide the best solution today within the bounds of established competition rules, manufacturing technology and cost considerations. The sights are precision machined with very close tolerances allowing you to change or remove uppers without loosing your zeros. All markings are clearly engraved and filled with a contrasting lacquer for easy, fast, positive and accurate adjustments.
Riles Adjustable Front
Sight System is 4 times the strength of other sights due to improved
and selection of materials.
Removal of the upper during transporting of rifle eliminates possible sight damage and also eliminates an obstruction when shooting a scope. The Palma/HighBoy design has a very positive method of lockup and repeatability.
We now accept Credit Card or Checks
All aluminum sight hardware and accessory items, except for the 30 mm lenses and
commercial bolts and washers,are designed and fabricated by Scott Riles. No exceptions.

On the Facebook page for Amy's Baking Company Bakery Boutique & Bistro in Scottsdale, Arizona, there's a section dedicated to services the restaurant offers. It includes "Walk-Ins Welcome" and "Outdoor Seating." Nowhere in there, though, does it mention Amy's greatest perk: "Owners Will Call You God-Fearing SH*TS Online."
During a recent episode of Fox's cooking reality show Kitchen Nightmare about Amy's, proprietors Amy and Samy Bouzaglatell were, according to KTAR, "seen cursing out customers, each other, and servers who were paid hourly instead of the standard tip-based system." The restaurant's Facebook page quickly filled with critical comments, which the Bouzaglatells responded to in a hail of angry, accusatory, and hilarious posts last night.
Wait. Are we punks or sh*t? Keep your insults consistent, guys.

|Top modern scientists from Shanghai
Albert Allen Bartlett (born 1923 in Shanghai)[1] is an emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Colorado at Boulder, USA. Professor Bartlett has lectured over 1,600 times since September, 1969 on Arithmetic, Population, and Energy.[2]
Bartlett joined the faculty of the University of Colorado in Boulder in September 1950. His B.A. degree in physics is from Colgate University (1944) and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in physics are from Harvard University (1948), (1951). In 1978 he was national president of the American Association of Physics Teachers. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1969 and 1970 he served two terms as the elected Chair of the four-campus Faculty Council of the University of Colorado.
Bartlett is a modern-day Malthusian.
Professor Bartlett often explains how sustainable growth is an oxymoron. His view is based on the fact that a modest percentage growth can equate to huge escalations over short periods of time.
He regards overpopulation as "The Greatest Challenge" facing humanity, and promotes sustainable living. Bartlett opposes the cornucopian school of thought (as advocated by people such as Julian Lincoln Simon), and refers to it as The New Flat Earth Society.
J. B. Calvert (1999) has proposed that Bartlett's Law will result in the exhaustion of petrochemical resources due to the exponential growth of the world population (as per the Malthusian Growth Model).
Bartlett has made two notable statements relating to sustainability:
"The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function."
and his Great Challenge:
"Can you think of any problem in any area of human endeavor on any scale, from microscopic to global, whose long-term solution is in any demonstrable way aided, assisted, or advanced by further increases in population, locally, nationally, or globally?"

(BNQT.com) - For the first two sessions of the three session BMX Freestyle Street competition, it looked like last year's silver medalist, Van Homan, might unseat X Games BMX Freestyle Street champion Garrett Reynolds. Jersey boys in the house! But in the end, Reynolds - who dominated nearly every X Games Street competition last year, winning three gold medals and one silver in the four international X Games competitions held in 2008, along with his gold from X Games 14 - proved to be unstoppable.
A flawless manual down the 12-stair handrail earned Homan a perfect score of 50 in an early run, which Reynolds answered in his trademark style, throwing two barspins into his 360 down the stair set, as well as his signature trick: a tucked no-hander to icepick (a grind on the back peg only). The trick tradeoff continued as the two came out of the first session tied for first, and rode out of the second session separated by only one point.
A foot injury sustained during practice on Tuesday slowed Homan down in the third session, which allowed Reynolds to pull himself into a commanding lead while X Games rookie Ty Morrow - who'd been trailing in a close third place position throughout the competition - came from behind to snag the silver.
"I'm just psyched," said Reynolds of his win. "It's awesome to be on the podium with two incredible riders like Ty and Van. I had a great time."
Congratulations Garrett - You are something else!

When apples are in short supply and the demand for apple pie remains high, you might be gratified to know that you can still bake an apple pie. Without any actual apples.
To be clear, no apples are involved at any point in making this apple pie. There's not even a smidgeon of a sniff of a faint remnant of a bit of a nubbin of an apple. Apples aren't even in the vicinity of this pie. In fact, they totally have an alibi.
What is this witchcraft, you might ask, that allows one to make apple pie with no apples?
It's called "science."
Check it out. Fool your friends. Bake some and be all "You know that apple pie you just ate? … it wasn't… exactly apples." Then watch their eyes bug out as they beg you to tell them they haven't just eaten dirt or worse.

'To Kill A Mockingbird' at Cabaret
Published 5:10 pm, Tuesday, March 18, 2014
Following a 25-year career "as a pro" on stage, in film and in television series and soaps, Will Jeffries is now devoted to directing and acting in community theater.
"If you are fortunate to practice some sort of artistic endeavor, it becomes the core of who you are," the Southbury resident said during a rehearsal break at the Downtown Cabaret Theatre in Bridgeport.
"It's not out of choice that I'm back on stage," he said, laughing. "It's just who I am.
"We came to Connecticut (in retirement in 2001) because of a brother in Ridgefield and other family members in Westchester (County)."
Jeffries, however, soon "discovered this vibrant theater community in Connecticut" and could not resist joining.
More InformationDowntown Cabaret Theatre, 263 Golden Hill St., Bridgeport. Thursday, March 20, 8 p.m.; Fridays, March 21 and 28, 8 p.m.; Saturdays, March 22 and 29, 8 p.m.; and Sunday, March 23, 5 p.m. $23-$18. 203-576-1636, www. BridgeportTheatre.org.
For the next two weekends, March 21-29, Jeffries will star in Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," a production of the Bridgeport Theatre Co. at the Downtown Cabaret. He plays the iconic role of Atticus Finch, a good man with moral backbone.
Under the artistic direction of Eli Newsom, the BTC is the resident theater company at the cabaret. The stage version is adapted by Christopher Sergel from the 1960 novel, which won the Pulitzer Prize. It was made into a now-classic 1962 film starring Gregory Peck (winning the respected actor an Oscar).
According to Newsom and Jefferies, the work is just as relevant today as it was when it debuted.
Set in the rural South of the 1930s, "To Kill a Mockingbird" follows widowed lawyer Atticus Finch (along with daughter, Scout, and older brother Jem) as he defends a black man who is accused of raping a young white woman.
As Newsom sees it, the piece is about Atticus' "racial tolerance, class and courage ... (as well as) an individual's power to do right in the face of overwhelming wrong."
It's "an honor to do it; it's such an iconic story," Jeffries said. "To know the book, to know the film is to know that Atticus is the kind of character that makes each of us want to be a better man.
"He is a man of honesty and great integrity, a father who loves his kids ... the father that we all would have wanted, or the father that we had and miss terribly," Jeffries, a father of two sons, said.
And to see this on stage is a truly moving experience: "To be in the same room as Atticus ... there is an emotional component that is quite compelling," Jeffries said.
A native of Burlington, Vt., Jeffries moved to New York City to pursue a professional career in late 1976 and by 1977, became a member of Actors' Equity Association, the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, doing off-Broadway, TV and radio commercials, industrial films and daytime soaps. He made the move in 1985 to Los Angeles, where he and his wife remained until 2001.
According to his resume, he had recurring roles on such series as "Valerie," "Valerie's Family," "The Hogan Family," "The Hogans" and "Matlock," in which he appeared frequently as the assistant district attorney who lost every case to Andy Griffith.
In guest roles, he appeared on "ER," "Newhart," "Remington Steele" and "The John Laroquette Show," among others.
In the daytime TV arena, he was featured in "General Hospital" as Damon Grenville, who he describes as "a top level mob boss and nemesis of Duke Lavery. Damon was a very bad man, who even tried to blow up Anna's sweet little daughter, and it was great fun playing opposite Ian Buchanan and Finola Hughes."
On the big screen, he had roles in "Iron Eagle," "Refuge" and "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins."
In addition to acting, Jeffries enjoys directing, most recently guiding "A Streetcar Named Desire" at Curtain Call in Stamford. He also works with the Town Players of New Canaan, the Ridgefield Theatre Barn, the Westport Community Theatre and the Wilton Playshop.
In 2012, he appeared as the Father in the White Heron Theatre's production of Shaw's "Candida" at the famed Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland.
In addition to Jeffries, the cast of 18 local performers features Kitty Robertson (of Fairfield) as adult Jean Louise Finch, Claire Regan (of Fairfield) as Scout, Tyler Felson (of Guilford) as Jem and Everton Ricketts (of Bridgeport) as Tom Robinson.
Jeffries said that he and other members of the production hope that the audience will be inspired to help create "a world where integrity and honesty can flourish."

Ashley Shellhause is a contemporary artist working in painting and drawing. Born as Ashley Hughes in Columbus, Ohio, she currently lives in Simi Valley, California. She received her BA from Otterbein College in 2008 with concentrations in painting and visual communications, and a minor in biology. In the spring of 2010 she completed her MFA in painting at Miami University. She was also a recipient of the 2010 Joan Mitchell MFA Grant. Since graduating she has been accepted into numerous exhibitions and has completed several mural and commission pieces.
Artist's Statement
I have always been interested in representing information visually. We have maps and graphs that show different types of information (elevation, population density, temperatures). For this series of work, I knew I wanted to try to show visually something nonvisual. I decided to combine a few of my favorite things: genetics, horses, and art. I selected the leopard complex, a series of five genes responsible for spotted (or appaloosa) horse coloring. Each gene is represented in the paintings by a different pattern, and each painting is accompanied by a drawing of what the horse would actually look like.
My inspirations for this show were all color or pattern based. I'm attracted to patterns, especially those that can be stretched or repeated to create a large field. The patterns I used here came from a wide variety of places. Two of them came from the Alhambra in Spain, one of them was inspired by the resurrection ferns I observed in the Florida Everglades, another came from a pine tree in the Sierra Nevadas in California, and the final pattern is from a contour map of the area around my parents' house in California. I'm also attracted to colors and color combinations. Some colors I pulled from advertisements. I like how some colors stand out, and also how colors come and go in advertising and design. Other sources for my color palettes are sunsets, sunrises, and other paintings. Some sets of color have their own mood and sense of space. I like to recreate those and sometimes experiment with one of the colors.
I used acrylics and a variety of drawing materials for this body of work. I work with acrylics because of their flexibility. For the works included in this show I used them full strength with a brush, watered down and poured, with salt, with wax, with primed canvas, and with unprimed canvas. I used a variety of drawing materials depending on what I needed the drawing to illustrate. A few of the figures needed color, so I used colored pencils. The rest of the drawings were either done in pencil or ink.

A) Big, invasive, destabilizing changes. These are the sort of tasks
7) Removal of XPConnect
I wouldn't call this "removal" but rather "fast-path DOM"... and I don't think it's a bucket-A item. I think it could implemented as a much smaller bucket-B item once the actionmonkey (tamarin JIT) stuff is landed.
B) Medium sized, significant in impact changes. These are non-trival, but better isolated. Easier to turn off or backout. Things such as:
This is tricky: we could either
* implements XBL2 and keep mozilla-XBL -- this is safe and in bucket two, but has the problem that we're carrying around two significant infrastructures that will interact poorly
* replace mozilla-XBL with XBL2 -- this is probably much easier to implement correctly and quickly, but it involves rewriting our existing mozilla-XBL bindings in XBL2. In some cases we can come up with automatic transformations, but it will still be a pretty huge change that really should be in bucket A above.
Each team (depending on size of task) will be working on a separate Hg branch. We'll keep hg-central overall very high quality and
Note that several of these tasks have dependencies on eachother: XPCOMGC depends on AM stage 1 and stage 2. Exception support depends on XPCOMGC.
at once. Easier Hg merging, the try server, and other tools will make it much easier for folks to test out changes without first having to merge them to mainline.
We ship alpha's from hg-central early on in the process on a 6-8 week cadence. We'd strongly hope that 1-3 of the big (A) tasks is ready for ship during the schedule. However, since we are working on lots of smaller stuff in parallel if the big stuff takes longer than expected we still have a stable base and a set of improvements to go into a release.
A critical piece of this plan that I think we need to nail is directing our community of nightly testers. It's possible of course to simply have nightly testers on mozilla-central at all times, but I don't think this provides maximum leverage:
* Testers may want to actively follow one of the feature branches: e.g. the UE team will have experiments and ask for testing of those before they hit mozilla-central... an XBL2 branch will want testing from extension authors and interested developers before it is merged to mozilla-central.
* We don't want to orphan a nightly tester: if they have been testing a nightly from the UE branch, we'd like to keep them up to date nightly. If the UE branch stops being developed, we want to repatriate that user to mozilla-central
I think we can accomplish this through the update system and major update offers:
+-------------------------------+ | Minefield Update | | An update is available. You are currently using | the Minefield stable nightly builds. We are looking for | testers of the user experience branch. This branch contains | experiments in the user interface design of Firefox. Would you like to | update to the UE branch? | | [ Update ] [ No thanks ] | +-------------------------------+
Finally, I think that it may make sense to do an alpha every 4 weeks. I know that mconnor has been planning a monthly cadence for new UE features, and with an always-stable mozilla-central and release automation, I think we can schedule the alphas more frequently than we have. But I think we should make sure that we get automatic updates from alpha->alpha so we don't leave people stranded.

I had a patient having one of these in one of our theatres a few weeks ago. He had to come to theatre because he needed quite a lot of sedation.
It was a pretty uneventful case, but when the surgeon moved the scope backwards the patient let off some champion quality farts. You could knack a 6 pack of baked beans, a whole turnip and 10 pints of lager and not get a sound as good as this fella was coming up with.

This is an ice cream cone pin I made- I made a whole group of them to bring up to Toronto for Bloorcourt- which was great by the way! These are so satisfying to make- just the tiniest bit of embroidery and embellishment, with painted images and scenes- more of these later.
