The case has been slogging through the courts for as long as this blog has been around, in large part due to disputes over Ayres's competency. Ayres is suspected of molesting dozens of boys over a period of several decades, but many cases were beyond the statute of limitations.
The case had all of the elements of high drama: A once-respected child psychiatrist accused of molesting vulnerable boys sent to him by the courts. Allegations that prosecutors turned a blind eye. Pressure from victim's rights lobbyists. And, of special interest to this blog's readers, a bevy of mental health experts presenting contradictory evidence.
After a jury trial on the issue of competency ended in a deadlock in 2011, both sides stipulated that Ayres was incompetent due to dementia. He spent about nine months at Napa State Hospital -- where defendants in Northern California are sent for competency restoration treatment -- before the hospital decided that he was faking dementia in an elaborate ruse to avoid trial. He was finally found competent to stand trial after a four-day court hearing late last year.
At his sentencing hearing, victims -- now adults, some with children of their own -- spoke of the traumatic effects of being victimized by someone in a position of trust. As evidence that the former head of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry knew the damage he was inflicting, one former victim even read an excerpt from a journal article Ayres co-authored entitled "Practice Parameters for the Forensic Evaluation of Children and Adolescents Who May Have Been Physically or Sexually Abused."
Victims and their family members burst into applause when Ayres was sentenced, hugging and rejoicing over their victory in a lengthy and uphill struggle for justice, according to a news report in the San Mateo County Times.
But the fight may not be quite over yet: Ayres' attorney warned in court that the wheelchair-bound octogenarian may seek to withdraw his no contest pleas.

Amazon's working standards haven't been getting a good press in the last couple of weeks, with one notable FT Weekend cover story detailing the conditions at one UK -based factory in a less-than-favorable light.
Now Germany has been hit by its own Amazon scandal, with TV Channel ARD airing a documentary that paints an incredibly grim view of Amazon packing and distribution centers in the country.
The documentary features interviews with temporary workers hired through agencies by the online sale giant, and live on site.
The workers, often from outside the country, described being harassed by guards who intimidated them by searching their bedrooms and kitchens.
Controversially, these security guards appear to have links to Germany's far right scene. ARD reports that the security firm used by Amazon went by the name "HESS Security"— which may be an allusion to Adolf Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess— and was headed by a mysterious man known to associate with soccer hooligans and neo-Nazi.
In the documentary, guards are shown wearing black uniforms and sporting military haircuts. Some are filmed shown clothing made by the Berlin brand Thor Steinar — a brand synonymous with the far right in Germany — and at one point security members are filmed scuffling with the film makers at one point.
The press in Germany is having a field day, with the respectable daily newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung describing it as a "shitstorm."
In an email to the AP, Amazon promised to investigate the allegations. "Amazon tolerates no discrimination or intimidation," Amazon spokeswoman Ulrike writes. "Even though the security company wasn't hired by Amazon we are of course examining the allegations (...) and will take appropriate measures immediately."

Make Marbled Christmas Balls
Forget mass-produced, store bought holiday ornaments. Wouldn't you love to have your family's own personalized creations hanging from the tree this year? Your child will delight in ushering the holidays by making his own homemade marbled Christmas balls. He doesn't have to be a trained artist to make a professional-looking ornament, but a strong desire to embrace the holiday spirit is absolutely necessary!
What You Need:
- Tempera paint (various colors)
- Clear glass or plastic ornament balls (found at craft stores)
- Water
What You Do:
- Have your child remove the top from his Christmas ball. If the ornament is dusty, encourage him to rinse it out before beginning.
- Ask your child to pick out two colors that he wishes to use to marble the Christmas ornament. Red and green or white and blue are festive sets of colors to use!
- Invite your child to put a large drop of one colour of paint into the ball. He can flip the ball over, and let the paint drip out. Tell him he can keep adding paint until the desired coverage is reached. If the paint does not spread easily, help him by adding a few drops of water.
- Encourage your child to let the first colour dry almost completely before adding the second colour. This way, the colors will blend somewhat, but not completely. He should then add the drops of the second colour in the same manner as the first, letting the second colour fill in spots the first colour didn't.
- Make sure he lets the Christmas ball dry overnight. Replace the top securely and hang it from the tree to admire!
Another option is to take the finished Christmas balls and personalize them to give as gifts. Your child can use paint pens to write his friends' names on the ornaments along with a festive holiday greeting!

is now outdoing Al Gore when it comes to loser derangement syndrome. And Kerry doesn't even have the excuse of having almost won the presidency.
Here's what Kerry said yesterday to a group of college students:
You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq.
When Tony Snow objected to what appears to be an insult to our troops in Iraq (though Kerry apparently claims the insult was directed at President Bush), Kerry responded as follows:
If anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq and not the president who got us stuck there, they're crazy. This is the classic G.O.P. playbook. I

DENVER, March 31 (UPI) -- A Denver federal appeals court has granted a request for a full-court hearing in a legal challenge to a contraception mandate in the U.S. healthcare reform law.
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Friday granted a request by Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. -- based in Oklahoma City -- to expedite the case because the company would face a daily fine of as much as $1.3 million beginning in July if it fails to comply with the healthcare law, The (Oklahoma City) Oklahoman reported.
The crafts retailer had challenged the section of the Affordable Care Act that mandates providing employees with coverage for emergency contraception, because Hobby Lobby founder David Green and his family feel the morning-after pill and some other kinds of emergency contraceptives are forms of abortion, and thus conflict with the family's religious beliefs.
Kyle Duncan, general counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which is representing Hobby Lobby in its lawsuit, said appeals cases usually are heard by a panel of three judges, but Hobby Lobby had asked for the full court to hear the case -- a request that federal appellate courts rarely grant.
"It's extraordinarily rare for the court to do that -- we think the takeaway is that the court as a whole recognizes how important the case is and wants to devote its full attention to it," Duncan said.
Hobby Lobby hopes a nine-judge panel will hear oral arguments in April or May, the newspaper said.
The U.S. Supreme Court in December blocked Hobby Lobby's request for an emergency injunction to block contraceptive insurance coverage requirements, saying it would not consider the case until lower courts have ruled.

Post subject: "Intersection of four groups" generalization of &q
Subject: the technique called "Intersection of four groups"
I was working a lot on the technique called "X-wing":
The X-wing that has the same number at intersection of 2 rows and 2 columns (the name cames from the airplains flying in this formation) and having this same number ONLY 2 times in the rows or in the columns - permits us to eliminate the rest of this number from the 2 columns respective 2 rows (if there are any additional such ones).
I think that one of the "generalization" of this X-wing is the technique called "intersectioon of four groups". It is the combination of 4 intersection rows, columns, 3x3 blocks.
* If we have 2 rows and 2 columns - then we speak about the "X-wing".
The other cases are:
* 2 rows, 1 column & 1 block
* 1 row, 2 columns & 1 block
* 2 rows, 2 blocks
* 2 columns, 2 blocks
Let's take an example:
=== the sign "=" means no "6"
We have here number 6:
- in row 2 exact twice
- in column 1 exact twice
- in column 3 exact twice
- in 3x3 block (4,1) - (6,3) exact twice
We have the same number 6 at the intersection of four groups:
one row, 2 columns and 1 3X3 block.
We can quickly deduce that from all places marked with "X" the "6" can be eliminated!
For the rest of the cases, I let you draw your own diagrams.
see u,

Good observation, someone. Excellent insight!
In your list of cases, what happened to one row, one column, & two blocks? Oh -- I guess that one is not possible, is it. dcb

Yup, only 3 of them can "intersect", so this would be a X-wing with a broken wing. It can't fly ;-)
P.S. you know the XY-wing. Now I found out that there is also a "XYZ-wing". For example:
= = =
From this pattern we can exclude "Z" from positions marked "*"
(of course that left all numbers must be in a 3x3 block).

I'm having a lot of trouble with this Intersection of 4 Groups concept. In the example given by Someone, don't the restrictions "In column 1 exact twice" and "In column 3 exact twice" just knock out all the Xs in your example anyway? The 2 row 2 column description of Intersection of 4 Groups seems to me to basically X-wing, which is fine, but I'm trying to find visual examples of the other Intersection of 4 Groups options: 2 rows, 1 square, and 1 column; 2 rows and 2 squares; 1 row, 1 square, and 2 columns; 2 columns and 2 squares. I've been stuck at the same level in Sudoku for months and it's driving me nuts.
I just can't crack the toughest level puzzles unless there happens to be a x-wing in there. Desperately looking for other techniques to help me take the next step...

Hello, fordmodelt, welcome to this forum!
So it's your (first) "birthday" on the forum (not your 100th like the model T's this year), have fun!
I would not look at those "intersections of .." a lot, that idea seems to have been a very dead end ...
If you'd like to go beyond x-wings, you could either look at a technique called coloring or multi-coloring (with some very common examples being the skyscraper and the kite. Both are somewhat similar to x-wings but the two "lines" are not of the same length and sometimes not even parallel), or you could look at swordfish and jellyfish (same as x-wing, but with three and four rows/columns instead of two), or you leave the fishy business for a while and look at wings instead, especially the xy-wing.
You'll find excellent explanations of these techniques in
Ruud's sudoCue.net
Andrew Stuart's strategy pages
, among others.
The "Daily" section of this forum always has lots of discussions about the more difficult puzzles, and people are usually very helpful. On this site, your next step definitely needs to be the xy-wing. To add one more to the list of references:
look here for an explanation of the xy-wing

Interesting! Where to go next?
I agree with Nataraj. If your only "advanced" move is X-wing, next you should look at XY-wing. Since it only involves cells that have two candidates, it is relatively easy to spot.
Next, look at XYZ-wing. They are relatively rare, but with X-, XY-, and XYZ-wings in your arsenal, you will be able to solve this site's "Very Hard" puzzles.
As a side trip, take a look at Unique Rectangles. They are sort of like X-wings, but the logic is different. (Please do not start another religious argument as to whether uniqueness assumptions are valid!)
Now, the most important thing you will ever learn about Sudoku: Two strong links.
An X-wing is two strong links. So is a kite, a skyscraper, and a turbot fish. (Don't worry about the names.)
After that, it's the home stretch. Look on this site for explanations of W-wings and M-wings.
Another side trip is coloring, multi-coloring, and Medusa coloring. You'll easily understand these, once you get the two strong links into your head.

Thankyou nataraj and keith - I'll follow your suggestions and see how I go. I've got this far using my own logic processes, so it came as a bit of a surprise to find that what I was doing was the same as what everyone did anyway! However my own logic has hit a dead end - though I had started playing around with colouring techniques of my own without much success. Thanks for your help!

It has been raining for the last several days in New York. Great for shopping but tough for shooting outside.

On The Street..Cardigan Rocker, West Village
CommentsClose comment
40 comments
The guy looks British.
I'll be awesome if he had a square bag.
Couldn't you get the "Will work for food" sign he was holding?
Very Mod!! Was he wearing Beatle boots?
yeah, he looks working class (who isn't) but believe it or not that does not diminish style.
Fashions is about inclusion,some might say. Exclusion is so last century!
he lookds awesome .. he iss so adventurous for a male fashion buff. i like that he is still masculine looking–adn the bag keeps it from being "vintage" he is frinly planed within the neo-mod trend— where its meshed with goth
What a great, androgynous figure he has: nipped-in waist, balancing those nice wide shoulders. A (male) friend has this figure and is desperately searching for a good male cardie – any suggestions for where I can find one like this?
yup, British. And he needs a different bag.
Kathleen: get your friend onto eBay. Lots of vintage, skinny guys' cardigans there last time I looked.
He looks smart and sleek but Im just so unsure about skinny pants on men – guess only the svelte figure can get away with it and it suits his overall look
i second that cardie request!
ooooh, i don't know…don't think i like it…the hair looks just yuck and the cardigan…I guess I am just not a big fan of cardigans…
Love it all.
Especially the colors of the overall photo:
grey, black, white, and the red of the bag and car behind him.
I say thank goodness it rained.
The moral: in choosing clothes, run with one's body type, however less than "ideal," rather than trying to compensate or conceal.
Here, they guy, tall and skinny, chooses clothes that emphasize long line…..
Totally fab! A great fall preview!
hippity dippity methinks! ~ the bag takes the outfit from the '60s to now.
"he looks working class…"

Good lord: it's Paul Weller. This gent is teh uber-cool.
Very The Hives…
Skinny tie…skinny guy…
He looks awesome, I don't understand the 'skinny pants' comment …. those pants are not skinny! Regarding cardigans, you can't beat Prada cardigans … They always stick to the same style & usually just change the colours each season … The European Prada stores always have more cardigan options than the N.Y stores for some reason …
This guy obviously spends time cultivating his look. He has a definite sense of how he wants to be viewed by the public and is using fashion to make a statement about his taste in music and his cultural outlook.
I think it is so fortunate that skinny boys are considered sexy these days. It is so nice that men don't necesarily have to buy into the pressure of being uber-fit or muscular. Being a 90lb-weakling can actually be hot. I, for one, can definitely dig the skinny rocker boy look.

about "working class": I used the term because it was implied in the "Will work for food" comment,

This had nothing to do with fashion, but I think it's extremely ignorant to say that the term 'working class' doesn't have a function in 2006. There are still people who don't decide when to take their lunch break, and who aren't in control of what they (and others) do at work. The word working class doesn't just mean someone who works in a dirty factory!pt
"art is always about exclusion".
I respectfully disagree. How can communicating a message can be about exclusion?
Art is about boundaries not necessarily about taking power out of people. Art liberates, not oppresses.
The making choices part of you argument plays in ideas of freedom.
How can it be exclusion?
Now,to call thinks in marxist terms does not make the person a marxist.
come on guys it's just fashion .all this talk about class and money is a little sickening. i'm sure you can go into H&M and get this look or prada or tiger of sweden. does it really matter. i think some of us on this site needs to get over themselves.
I like the offand touch of the red duffle gym bag. If he was carrying a square DJ bag or Hermes, it would have looked too coordinated.
Also, with the red popping out in that gray, drizzly afternoon, the photo looks a bit Antonioni. Bravo! Hope this shot makes it to the Saks window display.
Everything is perfect…except the bag. Should´ve been a leather breafcase instead or a vintage square shoulderbag.
I consider myself a bit of a mod. And I could see myself wearing the cardigan, shirt, tie and pants, but not the boots and the haircut. A very good combination altogether though. I think it's a bit unfair to call him a rocker. He's clearly a mod. It's good to see the mod look hasn't died. Long live style, long live the mod look.
it's brilliant. check out Hermes' aw 06-07 collection and you'll see they channel a neater version of the same outfit. this guy's interpretation is pretty chic.
He would look better if he did something to his hair…
Maria: 'What does style and art have to do with exclusion about being discriminatory?"
Well, why don't you think about what you are 'Not' choosing to wear next time you put your outfit together. Or who you are not choosing to look at on the street.
Do we pretend that creativity has to do only with accepting all? It simply doesn't!
We like to be free and 'hippy love joy' about creation – as it should be, but the bottom line is, every creative process gets to the phase of editing, of choice and of self criticism and exclusion of elements and ideas.
Thats what separates an artist/designer, well, from a Waldorf kindergarden teacher.
About the "Classes": that is maybe for another forum. maybe we should refine our argument..
Fashion is on itself a reference to the individual in a cultural context. To ignore the effects of economic squemes into the culture and how this affects sartorial manifestations is to miss the real expression of the individual within a given culture.
You can feel attracted to the surface of fashion, but make no mistake, the social implications of fashion are profound even if people avoid to talk about it. It would be ideal to value its progresive side rather that using it to mantains status quo, but both situations are a fact.
The mod phenomena was a reaction to the post-industrial and multicultural atmosphere in London, where the so called "working classes" and foreign influences from the ex-colonies melt, allowing a young international style to be in fashion.
4chair: You are assuming that people make judgments the way you do. Maybe it easier for some to determine a sense of fashion identity by excluding than including. Maybe that is the option you talk about. There is a treaty of culture differentiation as an act of war, so I understand what you say. But I want to believe that fashion emancipation provides flux in a more pacific way.
" To ignore the effects of economic squemes into the culture and how this affects sartorial manifestations is to miss the real expression of the individual within a given culture. "
Yes, and with the limitation of budget comes more creation. Limitation/creation, limitation creation .."born from necessity' don't they say?
Take the grunge rockers using flannel shirts because that's what they could afford (and they were warm in Seattle) and it took on an attitude of "yea whatever, we'll wear lumber jack shirts….gotta problem?"
On economics and cultural context ; you are preaching to the choir- I just didn't want to get stranded in a dialogue on Marxism or some such so I aborted…
anyway, I am just a lowly waiter with all second hand self altered clothes … But my 31 Flavors uniform is a hit at big parties. Sometimes I just don't have time to change!
I like the mod-ish mood of this, but the hair I cannot entirely condone….oh well, to each his own.
Speaking of mod-ish: my father came to the States from India in the sixties. He was a little bit of a dandy back in Pilani, Rajasthan and had suits tailored for him. Really tight-fitting, narrow lapelled jackets and straight pants with creases like knives. Made from the shiniest material. Perfect for riding motor-bike/scooters. Years ago we got rid of them, but I wish we had saved them. They were a hoot!
i want to dye my hair his colour..it looks superwick.
i'm not really a fan of this. is he accentuating his waist?
I dress like this guy sometimes, but his hair ruins the look in my opinion.
Because he is walking on the photo, his body seems to have weird proportion. Those legs look awful small.
The red bag is interesting, because it doesn't fit. And it is, as you might have noticed, Fred Perry x Comme des Garcons Shirt – not an expensive bag, but he might not get it at every "normal" store. Or maybe he is just having a "bad bag day":-)
Hate it. The sweater and the fitted pants make his shoulders look giagantic, which in turns makes the rest of his body look disporportionate.
And I hate the hair. What is with everyone loving the andro look?

This module gives a brief overview of computational chemistry, a branch of chemistry concerned with theoretically determining properties of molecules. The fundamentals of how to conduct a computational project are discussed as well as the variety of different models that can be used. Because of the difficulty of dealing with nanosized materials, computational modeling has become an important characterization tool in nanotechnology.

text: The Quiet Game - Greg Iles 5 5 1 Product R 75,00 each 1 items in stock + – In Greg Iles's book, the title explains the wall of silence and resistance confronted by Houston prosecutor Penn Cage upon his return to his Mississippi hometown. He has returned to his roots with his young daughter after the agonizing cancer death of his wife. Penn reluctantly takes on a controversial 30-year-old civil rights case involving the bombing death of a black man, a thorny matter which the conservative Old South community would rather forget. While residents attempt to convince Penn to let sleeping dogs lie and stonewall his push to re-open the Del Payton case, a visit by the victim's family only bolsters Penn's resolve to do something about the situation. Moreover, Penn's father, Tom, is being blackmailed by a dying jailbird who has a gun tying the older man to a murder, and the sinister demands for more money increase as Tom's health declines. Penn's friends and business associates advise him to leave, but he cannot because of his father's predicament. The doomed convict plans to take Tom down with him, claiming the murder weapon was a gun borrowed from the physician, that they were partners in the crime. The only solution to end the blackmailing may require Penn to break his strict ethical code. Meanwhile, the pressure to stop Penn from bringing the Payton case to trial mounts, especially after a press interview given to Caitlin Masters, a newspaper publisher. Once Penn and Caitlin team up, the fireworks start with a host of obstacles thrown between them and the truth including the FBI, a tyrannical judge, the Natchez community, and an old flame with a score to settle. The action reaches a peak in the courtroom, when the resourceful Penn takes on the opposition for a bitter fight in which the truth cannot be denied.

Vermont Senate approves compromise on aid-in-dying
MONTPELIER -- The Vermont Senate on Wednesday passed a hybrid aid-in-dying bill under which stiff safeguards would be in place for terminally ill patients seeking lethal medication for the first three years, after which regulations would be lessened significantly.
Sen. Claire Ayer, explaining her compromise amendment to the Judiciary Committee before the Senate's 17-13 vote in favor of the bill, likened the system the bill would set up to training wheels used by beginner bicyclists. Many of the safeguards would expire in 2016, unless lawmakers act between now and then to preserve them.
If the House concurs before lawmakers' scheduled adjournment for the year on Saturday, Gov. Peter Shumlin is expected to sign the bill, which would bring to Vermont for the first time a legal method by which doctors could prescribe a lethal dose of medications to terminally ill patients who request it.
Shumlin issued a statement saying he knew Vermonters were divided on the issue. "But I also know how important it is for those who face terminal illness and tremendous pain to have this choice, in conjunction with their physicians and loved ones, in the final days of their lives," he said.
One of the spectators who've watched days of legislative debate on the issue, Marnie Wood of Middlebury, said after the vote, "Vermont in my mind has always been about choice, about rights."
Wood cared for her sister, an Oregon resident, as her sister lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, before she took advantage of Oregon's first-in-the-country "death with dignity" law and ended her own life with a doctor's help.
"She had a beautiful death," Wood said.
Opponents of the legislation voiced disappointment that Vermont appeared poised to become the first state to pass an aid-in-dying law by legislation, rather than by referendum or court decision.
"I just don't feel the government has any business getting between a doctor and patient," said Sharon Iszak of Fairfax, a member of the Vermont Right to Life Committee who has been a regular presence at the Statehouse in recent days, along with others favoring or opposing the bill.
The measure followed a fraught and circuitous route to Senate passage, while the House passed it easily last week. When the Senate first took up the issue in February, an amendment was offered by Sens. Peter Galbraith, D-Windham, and Sen. Robert Hartwell, D-Bennington, that sought to limit what they said was government's overly intrusive role under the original version of the bill.
On a 16-15 vote, with a tie broken by Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, the Senate passed a stripped-down version that shrunk the bill from 22 pages to one. It then went to the House, which restored most of the provisions in the original Senate version and moved it much closer to an Oregon-style law.
In debate over two days that ended Wednesday, the Senate then settled on the hybrid, in which an Oregon-style law would prevail for the first three years, then to be replaced July 1, 2016, by a more stripped down version similar to what the Senate passed in February. Passage came after Hartwell and Galbraith, critics of the Oregon-style legislation, joined the majority to support the compromise.
The Oregon-style provisions include three requests, one in writing, from the patient spread over 15 days, with two witnesses affirming the written request; a second doctor's finding that the patient is terminally ill, and others. Those provisions expire after July 1, 2016.
Ayer said she had been in talks with House leaders and she expected the compromise would win approval there.

A little fun on a Friday.
Our current ImagineIt {literacy} unit is on, you guessed it, patterns! Or, as every year old I've ever met likes to say it...pat-er-ins. So we decided that today we would all wear patterns to school and have a pattern parade! Yes, we did march through every other kindergarten class showing off our patterns and doing our cheer. But we had so much fun we just had to do it again {and again and again} back in our own classroom! It was the end of the day on a Friday and they were having a blast so, hey...why not?! :)
My apologies in advance for the volume & awesome quality of my voice!!

Literal acts of de-presentation and percepticidio, the forced disappearance of people during the last Argentine dictatorship (1976-1983) challenges aesthetic boundaries. The situation as experienced by the children of the desaparecidos is more complicated as a result of historical distance. In the mid-1990s, these children emerged as the so-called "Generación HIJOS"; they were, as poet Martín Gambarotta puts it, a "camada cadaver," a phrase referring to Néstor Perlongher's "Cadáveres," a paradigmatic poem written under the dictatorship but only published in 1987. Part of the post-dictatorial generation that faces the uncanny fact of the "presencia de la ausencia" in Argentina, Gambarotta's Punctum is both a réécriture and a new, highly mediatized poetic écriture of Perlongher's neo-baroque opus. Punctum offers an accelerated stream of poetic images, where the discovery of the corpses—"produced" by the political regime and made possible by social and perceptive conditions—occurs despite extensive interference, which in turn creates a large—"zapping"—horizon of metonymic displacements. This interferences also causes the protagonist, Cadáver, to lose his mnemonic and moral orientation. Punctum thus becomes both a trashy allegorical post-dictatorial epos and one of the most significant poems of the Argentine "poesía de los noventa." This article focuses mainly on the importance of poetic discourse an imagination after enforced disappearance and biblioclasm; on a comparative analysis of Perlongher's and Gambarotta's text; and on an interpretation of Punctum as a post-traumatic "chambre Claire," one that follows Roland Barthes's concepts as well as the notion of "punctum."

Luongo injured in Canucks' win over JetsNHL.com @NHLdotcom
The Vancouver Canucks won a game Sunday night, but it may have come at a hefty price.
Christopher Tanev broke a 1-1 tie midway through the third period and Eddie Lack made 15 saves in relief of Roberto Luongo in the Canucks' 2-1 win against the Winnipeg Jets at Rogers Arena.
Lack was forced into action at 16:30 into the game, when Luongo left with a lower-body injury. He was knocked to the ice by Jets forward Blake Wheeler earlier in the game, but it is not known if that caused the injury. Luongo stopped all six shots he faced.
The Canucks announced via Twitter during the game that Luongo was being evaluated by the team's medical staff. Vancouver coach John Tortorella told reporters after the game Luongo sustained a lower-body injury. He is day-to-day.
"He had a conversation with Bernie (head athletic trainer Mike Burnstein) a shift or two before [he left the game], one of the timeouts, but I didn't know [he was hurt]," Tortorella said. "It surprised me."
Lack didn't notice anything wrong either.
"I was a little bit surprised for sure," Lack said. "I didn't really hear like anything before that he was hurt or anything, so it kind of caught me by surprise. But for sure, it was really fun going in. My dad and my grandma's in the stands, and also my girlfriend and her parents, so it was a really special feeling for sure."
Lack was credited with his sixth win of the season. He now has a 1.93 goals-against average and .928 save percentage in 11 games. Should Luongo not be able to play when the Canucks return from the holiday break to face the Calgary Flames next Sunday, Tortorella said he likes his team's chances with the 25-year-old Lack between the pipes.
"Very confident. I say it every day, he's not afraid of anything," Tortorella said. "He has prepared himself for this situation and he has played very well for us. I'm not sure where Louie's going to go here in the next few days, but if it's Lacker, we are very confident in his play."
Tanev, who has three goals in his past seven games, scored what proved to be the game-winner 10:23 into the third period. With the teams at even strength, Zack Kassian fired a wrist shot off the right wing that missed the net. But Kassian followed his shot, collected the puck behind the net and fed Tanev, who ripped a shot from between the circles past Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec (23 saves).
"I just jumped in the slot. I didn't know if Kass was trying to wrap it or pass it to me," Tanev said. "Either way, it was a good play. It seemed like the seas parted when I got it, so it was awesome. I could walk into it."
Vancouver has won nine of its past 11 games and collected points in 10 of them. The Canucks were coming off an emotional 3-2 shootout victory against the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center on Friday.
"Beginning of the third period, it looked like we were ready to drop," Tortorella said. "But I really respect the way they held on, didn't get hurt, Eddie made a couple of saves and they we score a big goal. I'm very happy with the team and how they've responded here the past couple of weeks."
Brad Richardson gave the Canucks a 1-0 lead via the power play 10:09 into the game. With Jets forward Evander Kane serving a holding penalty, Richardson redirected Dan Hamhuis' wrist shot from the left point past Pavelec. It was Richardson's seventh goal of the season.
Kane tied the game with a power-play goal of his own at 11:22 of the second period. After Daniel Sedin was penalized for holding, Kane took a pass from Wheeler and ripped a shot from the slot past Lack to make it 1-1. It was Kane's 10th goal of the season.
"I thought we played a pretty good road game," Jets coach Claude Noel said. "I thought our second period was good. We gave them a couple power plays in the first. I thought our intensity stepped up in the second. I think we carried a lot of the play. We weren't able to close out and push ahead. That was one of the problems we had."
The Canucks don't return to action until next Sunday. Tortorella believes it's a break that is well deserved.
"We need a break ????????? this was a long week," Tortorella said. "People may not think so, but four [games] in six nights, the travel, the time zones, all about it ????????? I'm really happy how they responded tonight, especially in an ugly third period and coming back and finding a way."
Referee Ian Walsh was also forced to leave the game after colliding with Vancouver's Dale Weise early in the second period. Referee Kyle Rehman handled the remainder of the game alone.

A'int it purty.
I took some cool photos of white puffy clouds and had them blown up 28" x 40" on glossy poster paper. It was 30 bucks to blow up and then I framed them in Ribba's from Ikea. I photo shopped the images a bit to make them have that Lomo camera poloroid vibe and Wallah! Big original art for under 60 bucks! Woop Woop!
This famous photo was my inspiration! I love how it makes the outside feel inside....Kinda makes the room look and feel bigger.

HONOLULU, Feb. 17 (UPI) -- Hawaii Senate President Donna Mercado Kim introduced a Senate Resolution Wednesday that could change the way concert tickets are sold.
The "Bruno Mars Act" limits all ticket purchases to the physical box office for the first 48-hours of them having gone on sale. The resolution follows an incident that took place Monday Feb 11. in which tickets for Bruno Mars' Moonshine Jungle tour stop in Honolulu were sold out in a matter of two hours, with only 6 percent of the tickets being purchased at the box office.
Local residents who wanted to attend the show at the 8,800-person Blaisdell Arena will now be forced to pay up to four times as much for tickets being resold by scalpers online.
According to Forbes, 42 percent of the sales for the show came from people from the mainland and Canada, which likely means that those who purchased the tickets don't plan to go to the concert themselves, but to resell their seats for profit.
While the official regular ticket price for Mars' show in Honolulu is under $100, the price in the parallel market is around $446, making the tickets the 6th most expensive in his tour. 42 percent of the tickets are the equivalent to 3,696 tickets, which means re-sellers will earn an estimated $1.2 million in profit.
If the "Bruno Mars Act" does pass, it would ensure that most people who purchase concert tickets actually plan on attending the event themselves, Forbes points out. In a city like Honolulu, which is disconnected from the rest of the country and where there are 350,000 residents, it is unlikely that a scalper would come all the way to the box office to purchase a ticket for resale.
Mars' Moonshine Jungle tour began Feb. 15 in Las Vegas.

It was almost 9am this morning before I realized we'd entered a new month. A bright, shiny new month. I love those. Aren't we lucky to have 12 of them every year?
I'm feeling a little silly this morning (in a good way). I have this huge smile on my face and I'm filled with zest for most things. For starters, April was actually pretty successful. I looked back on my first post of the month and checked in with what I wanted to get done. Despite my slackness, I finished Sun-Touched, which was my primary objective!
I also planted a garden, made my new office space my home (my book shelf is where the TV was! yay!!!), purchased a second hand sewing machine (an old Singer, in a table – love it), day dreamed about upholstering my office chair, started writing my first essay for my Counselling paper, polished and submitted a short story, and many other things.
One of which was to enjoy the first beta weekend event for Guild Wars 2. I LOVED playing the game. I tried out a bunch of the classes, and all the races. I love it. LOVE it. Can't wait until the game is actually released, and am very excited for the next beta weekend as well – hopefully the other two races will be playable!
I was meant to have the whole weekend off after finished Sun-Touched. And it was my intention to. Strangely, I really missed having a work in progress though. Missed having a novel to use as my home base. So really, it was just Friday that I took off. Saturday rolled around, I played in the beta, attended my writers chat in Google Hangouts, and um, opened all my documents relating to TCM.
For some reason, something this simple has really confirmed for me that I AM a writer, through and through. I could have spent all weekend delighting in GW2, but I spent quite a lot of time playing in my own world, tracing character arcs and solidifying plot lines. I love Mel, the main character, and I am loving figuring out how to make her story the best it can possibly be.
A week ago, I would have said to you that May would be the month I'd finally finish Sun-Touched. Get my essay completed and sent in, and then spend the rest of the month planning. I need to fully outline the novella that I'll write next month, as well as finish off the planning for TCM.
Now that goal has shifted slightly. I still want to do all those things, but I also want to revise the first 10,000 words or so of TCM. (Funnily, that's in line with my post from the first of April! – I'm amazed how sometimes things work out to plan, even when you think they can't possibly). I don't know if I can get it polished to submission standard by the end of the year, but I am certainly going to try.
What has May got in store for you??

16.2 Megapixel Back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS Image SensorThe DSC-TX55 features a 16.2 megapixel "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera's Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In addition, the combined "Exmor R" CMOS sensor and BIONZ image processor delivers extremely fast up to 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080p movie modes.
Slim and stylish designThinner than an AA battery at just under ? inch, this stylish camera is the perfect size to take along almost everywhere. Slip it into a pocket, purse, or backpack and be ready to shoot memorable moments.
Full HD 1080/60pRecord crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60p in 1080. This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV.
3.3" (1,229K dots) OLED touch screen with wide viewing angle3.3" (1,229K dots) OLED touch screen with wide viewing angle delivers brilliant-quality still images and movies while enabling easy focusing operation. The new reinforced-glass touch screen gives the camera a sturdy feeling and prevents color bleed during touch operations.
Optical SteadyShot with Active ModeOptical SteadyShot with Active Mode for blur-free movies even while walking. Camera-shake compensation using Optical SteadyShot/Active Mode has been improved with the addition of new electronic image stabilization.Now it's easier than ever to obtain sharp, blur-free movies even when zooming in unsteady situations, such as shooting with one hand while walking.
3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama modeProduce awe-inspiring images with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama capabilities. Images will take on a new dimension to view the world in a whole new way.
Intelligent Sweep Panorama HR modeWith Intelligent Sweep Panorama HR mode just press the shutter, pan the landscape and let the camera do the rest. It automatically links together each frame to produce a high resolution panoramic image providing the ability to zoom in on small details. This model even detects faces and moving subjects to stitch intelligently different widths to help avoid subject distortion.
Background DefocusDSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis on your subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The system takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background keeping the subject crisp and clear.
Superior Auto modeGet cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using backlight correction HDR technology and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 36 scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot.
Picture Effect for more expressive photosPicture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Seven effects give free reign to your imagination to expand creative horizons. HDR Painting creates a rich painted look. Rich-tone Monochrome produces an artistic black and white image. Miniature transforms mundane landscapes into fascinating works of art. Toy camera transitions an ordinary photo into one with high contrast, tunnel view, and four color shifts. Partial color results in a stunning monochrome photo containing a single designated color. High-key creates photos with heightened brightness for a soft clean look.
Clear image digital zoomClear image digital zoom maintains high-resolution feel that is as precise as optical zoom and vastly expands the zoom range without lowering visible quality or pixel count in the final image.
High speed shootingThe DSC-TX55 can capture full 16.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure that the decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into the goal. In addition, the DSC-TX55 employs a mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.
Soft Skin modePortrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot.
Natural FlashConventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to correct the color, for far more lifelike images.
Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens with 25mm equivalent wide angle 5x Optical ZoomThe high-performance Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 5x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for video recording as well as for outdoor, sports, and travel photos, and Close Focus shoots close-ups within a ?" of the subject. A 25mm equivalent wide-angle lens allows you to take wider shots of the scene or group in crowded spaces.
Backlight HDRDon't miss a single detail in high contrast shots. The built in backlight correction analyzes the image and automatically adjusts accordingly to give you a perfectly lit shot.
HDMI outputThe High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a compact audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed digital streams. HDMI connects digital audio/video sources such as a compatible camcorder, Blu-ray Disc player, a personal computer, a video game console, or an AV receiver to a compatible digital audio device and/or video monitor such as a digital television (DTV). Easily connect your Cyber-shot camera via HDMI cable (sold separately) to any compatible HDMI device to easily enjoy and upload content.
Smile Shutter technologySmile Shutter technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter button and the camera does the rest. Also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can be used together with Smile Shutter mode. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.
Face Detection technologySony's Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
Motion DetectionMotion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces.
Anti-blink FunctionIt's frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting or blinking. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot.
Sweep Multi Angle modeIn Sweep Multi Angle mode, the camera takes 15 images at different angles as it sweeps across the scene. By tilting the camera during playback, the camera's Gyro Sensor detects motion and displays the image in a 3D-like view on the camera's LCD.
Compatible with PC and MAC SystemsThe Full HD video captured with the DSC-TX100V can be used with the provided Picture Motion Browser software for PC and iMovie (sold separately) for Mac systems.
Includes Sony PMB (Picture Motion Browser) Software ver. 5.5Sony Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer, sort, and view your video and still images on your compatible PC. In addition, multiple output options let you burn your memories to DVD using an external DVD burning device, as well as take advantage of one click upload to a number of popular video and photo sharing sites (such as Facebook and Sony's Personal Space site). Using the new 5.5 version also enables playback of 3D images taken on the Cyber-shot camera.
Includes Sony PMB Portable softwareWith the pre-installed Picture Motion Browser (PMB) Portable 5.5 software the DSC-TX100V makes it easy to pre-select videos and images in the camera and conveniently upload them from the camera to a compatible PC and popular Internet sharing sites without the need for any additional software or install.

Palmer's photographic eye was honed over a twenty five-year career as a Madison Avenue advertising creative director. His first photography class at age sixteen was a transformative experience that started him on a lifelong artistic journey. He studied photography at Hampshire College and the International Center of Photography, where he is now a member of the faculty. Palmer is widely exhibited and collected, most recently by the New Britain Museum of American Art for their permanent collection. He is a fine art photographer and teacher who lives in New York with his wife and three sons.

Apparently Hurricane Sandy can't be blamed on climate change or a loss of Arctic Ice or even the gays; according to one pro-Iran, anti-US group in Syria, the whole storm was brought to you by the weather-controlling (but curiously still non-nuclear weapon possessing!) Iranian regime.
CNN reports that the group's posted a triumphant update to its TOTALLY FUCKING RAD Facebook page,
Sources confirmed to us that Hurricane Sandy that is slamming the U.S. was set off by highly advanced technologies developed by the heroic Iranian regime that supports the resistance, with coordination of our resistive Syrian regime.
Not all of the group's followers are buying that attribution, though. One skeptic pointed out that if Iran truly had a magical weather machine, then why didn't they use it for stuff like making it rain in the deserts of Syria or warm Russia up during the winter?
Details. I eagerly await the next Iranian weather surprise. Cloudy with a chance of kebabs?
