text: SoupSnake 25 Report post Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) UPDATE: Apparently there will be NO public sale of tickets for this game. No tickets to the public expected...corporate sponsors get first dibs then going to season ticket holders of the Red Wings, GR Griffins, Plymouth Whalers (plus Leafs, Marlies, and Sting) second as a way to boost their season ticket sales. Each of those can purchase up to 4 tickets. Plus, you'll have to buy a GLI ticket for every Classic ticket. Alumni game information not published yet. source:http://www.kuklaskor...tmr/comments... "According to an email Josh Howard received from the Grand Rapids Griffins, there will be no public sale of Winter Classic tickets: As we enter our beautiful summer months, we are looking forward to our 17th Season this year. We have some exciting events coming up this year including the Winter Classic Game between the Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs. There will be no public sale for this event and the Griffins are one of the only places you can purchase tickets to this historic event. Tickets will be made available to many of our ticket plan holders" $89 for the cheapest ticket. Wow, there goes my hopes of getting a cheap seat. Do you think that it will be selling out at these prices? Like really selling out, not "sold out" with 1000's of tickets going for $15 on the street before the game. http://www.mlive.com...t_prices_r.html Still no announcemnent on when they will actually go on sale. Details from MLive are below. A graphic posted on DetroitRedWings.com indicates that ticket prices for the 2013 NHL Winter Classic between the Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs Jan. 1 at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor will be priced between $89 and $279. The majority of the seats appear as if they'll cost either $129 or $149. There are seven price levels, according to the graphic: $89, $129, $149, $189, $219, $249 and $279. The $89 seats appear to be near the bottom of the stands while the $279 seats are on the club level. Tickets for the events at Comerica Park will cost $18, $28 and $38, according to the graphic. There was no indication as to when tickets will go on sale or how many tickets will be available for purchase by the general public. DetroitRedWings.com also saysthat anyone purchasing a full season-ticket package or 20-game package will have an "opportunity to purchase tickets to ... the 2012 Hockeytown Winter Festival and the 2013 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic."

Self-signed certificates are useful for test purposes. However, in a production environment, using trusted Certificate Authority (CA) certificates is more secure.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
Request a CA-signed server certificate.
$ dpadm request-cert instance-path cert-alias
where cert-alias is the name of the certificate that you are requesting. Certificate Authorities might require all of the options of the command to identify the server. For a description of all command options, see the dpadm(1M) man page.
The process for obtaining a CA certificate depends on the CA that you use. Some commercial CAs provide a web site that allows you to download the certificate. Other CAs will send the certificate to you in email.
For example, you could request a certificate called my-CA-signed-cert as follows:
$ dpadm request-cert -S cn=my-request,o=test /local/dps my-CA-signed-cert -----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- MIIBYDCBygIBADAhMQ0wCwYDVQQDEwRnZXJpMRAwDgYDVQQDEwdteWNlcnQ0MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3 DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQC3v9ubG468wnjBDAMbRrEkmFDTQzT+LO30D/ALLXOiElVsHrtRyWhJ PG9cURI9uwqs15crxCpJvho1kt3SB9+yMB8Ql+CKnCQDHlNAfnn30MjFHShv/sAuEygFsN+Ekci5 W1jySYE2rzE0qKVxWLSILFo1UFRVRsUnORTX/Nas7QIDAQABoAAwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEEBQADgYEA fcQMnZNLpPobiX1xy1ROefPOhksVz8didY8Q2fjjaHG5lajMsqOROzubsuQ9Xh4ohT8kIA6xcBNZ g8FRNIRAHCtDXKOdOm3CpJ8da+YGI/ttSawIeNAKU1DApF9zMb7c2lS4yEfWmreoQdXIC9YeKtF6 zwbn2EmIpjHzETtS5Nk= -----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
When you request a certificate by using the dpadm request-cert command, the certificate request is a PKCS #10 certificate request in Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format. PEM is the format specified by RFCs 1421 through 1424. For more information, see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1421.txt. The PEM format represents a base64-encoded certificate request in ASCII format.
When you request a CA-signed certificate, a temporary self-signed certificate is created. When you receive and install the CA-signed certificate from the CA, the new certificate replaces the temporary self-signed certificate.
Save the certificate request for future reference. You may need it while renewing the certificate.
Send the certificate request to the CA, according to its procedures.
After you have sent your request, you must wait for the CA to respond with your certificate. Response time for your request varies. For example, if your CA is internal to your company, the response time can be short. However, if the CA is external to your company, the CA can take several weeks to respond to your request.
Save the certificate that you receive from the CA.
Save your certificate in a text file, and back up the certificate in a safe location.

UND at forefront of unmanned flight as industry set to grow
Several recent developments put North Dakota at the forefront of unmanned aircraft education, training and research.
Right now, remotely piloted aircraft are mostly used by the military, but the industry is expected to grow rapidly in the next decade.
Experts from around the country are in Grand Forks, N.D., this week talking about the future of the industry.
Mike Nelson, University of North Dakota's unmanned aircraft systems course manager, is like a kid with a new toy as he enters building 607 on the Grand Forks Air Force base to give a reporter a tour.
In one corner of a Wal-Mart-sized building, crews are preparing to install a sophisticated simulator for the Predator unmanned aircraft.
Pilots use the simulator to learn how to fly the remote-controlled aircraft. Landing this $3 million Predator simulator, called a PMATS or Predator Mission Aircrew Training System, was a coup for the University of North Dakota.
"I want to say there's about 27 of these," Nelson said. "Typically, these are located at National Guard bases and Air Force bases for their training. And we have one. The first and only university-acquired PMATS trainer. That's pretty significant."
Nelson said in addition to giving students an opportunity to learn on a state-of-the-art flight simulator, the university hopes to train unmanned aircraft crews from Customs and Border Protection, the Coast Guard and the Air Force.
He said there's also a strong demand for international training because more countries are buying the unmanned aircraft. While the university is well known for its aviation program, which trains general aviation pilots from around the world, international students can't study unmanned aircraft. The technology is considered too sensitive.
Teaching international pilots and sensor operators to fly unmanned aircraft requires a license from the State Department. The university just received such a license to train military crews from Spain.
Nelson said that at a recent conference in London he got a sense of the growing demand for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) crew training.
"The lieutenant colonel from Germany came up to me and said, 'If you can get me training in North Dakota, we will be there tomorrow.' Because he can't get a training slot at the Air Force location for training until about 2013. That's a long time to wait for your training opportunity," Nelson said.
In addition to the Predator flight simulator, the university is lobbying Northrop Grumman to add a Global Hawk simulator. The Global Hawk aircraft will be based at the Grand Forks Air Force base, and university officials say they could train Air Force crews as well as crews from countries like Germany, Italy or Japan.
The university started the first UAS major in the country in 2009, and this spring it graduated five students with a degree in unmanned aircraft systems.
"It's growing every year," said instructor Ben Trapnell. "In the fall of 2009, when we first started, we had 15 students enroll in classes for unmanned aircraft systems. Now have 90 students. If it goes up like that then we'll probably double in about three semesters."
Trapnell said those students are finding jobs that pay two or three times what they would make flying for a regional airline. Most of those jobs, however, are overseas where there are fewer restrictions on flying unmanned aircraft.
Access to airspace is still the big hurdle for unmanned aircraft in the United States. Starting this summer, North Dakota will be the site of a first in the nation project to practice integrating unmanned aircraft with other air traffic. It's called LD-CAP or Limited Deployment Cooperative Airspace Project.
Unmanned and manned aircraft will be allowed to share a small area of airspace. Three radar systems will closely monitor the airspace.
During testing, the unmanned aircraft used will have a pilot aboard as a backup to watch for other aircraft said University of North Dakota Unmanned Aircraft Systems Center Director Al Palmer.
"The concept is to develop the procedures, the standards of how we're going to integrate unmanned aircraft into the next generation of air traffic control," he said.
Palmer said proving unmanned aircraft can fly safely in U.S. airspace is a critical challenge.
"Access to the airspace is the holy grail," Palmer said. "Once we find that, a lot of good things are going to happen. We've got to prove and demonstrate to the FAA because they have the requirement that we do no harm and that we can fly these things safely. We will find a way to make that happen."
The three-year project will test various technologies that allow unmanned aircraft to locate other aircraft and maintain a safe distance.
Palmer said there's growing competition among universities for research and training programs related to unmanned aircraft. But he believes the University of North Dakota is among the leaders. The challenge will be staying there.

Turning politics on its head
The move Tuesday by Democratic House Speaker Gaye Symington to abandon plans to close a loophole on a capital gains tax exemption initially proposed by Republican Gov. James Douglas turns state politics on its head. Since when do Democrats fail to close a tax loophole to the wealthy for potential gain to the common good?Yet, that's what happened. Not that there would not have been difficulties proceeding with the proposal. The Democratic Legislature and Gov. Douglas had disagreements over how to spend the estimated $21.4 million annually. Douglas wanted to give the windfall to middle income Vermonters as well as to the very rich. Democrats wanted to split the amount three ways: $4.2 million for targeted property tax relief; $8 million for the highway and bridge program and $7 million to pay off a portion of the $55 million the state owes on school construction projects (the latter two of which would also indirectly lower local property taxes for most Vermonters.)Because Douglas objected to spending the money for the common good (as detailed above — no new programs, just meeting existing obligations of the state) and because he would be denied the possible campaign claims of saying he had reduced income taxes, a political battle was looming on the horizon. Both sides of the political aisle saw it coming and the decision to bail was greeted by sighs of relief from both parties. Interestingly, the administration was relieved because it meant Democrats wouldn't spend the money — even if the expenses had already been committed or, go figure, were for property tax relief. (Why Douglas would support income tax relief, but not property tax relief is unclear.) Many Democrats, on the other hand, were relieved because of the future economic uncertainty and the very real possibility that legislators might need to tap that ready source of income in the near future for critical needs."We've seen numbers for fiscal 2010 that project as high as an $80 million (budget) deficit," said House Ways and Means Chairman Michael Obuchowski, D-Rockingham. "The exciting thing to me is we are keeping our powder dry for the unknown fiscal future."Still, it says something about the Legislature when Democrats are so unsure of their ability to control spending that they would rather leave intact a tax loophole that everyone agrees has been unfairly advantageous to the wealthiest few and that very few other states allow, rather than close the loophole and use that annual windfall responsibly.Angelo S.

Flip-flop on public access?
In Montpelier last week, the Douglas administration was trying to explain away an apparent flip-flop on an issue that one might think was close to the governor's heart: open meetings and access to public records. The governor, after all, was Secretary of State for a good number of years during which he ardently supported the rights of citizens and the press to gain easy access to government meetings and records.  The right of the people to know the truth about government actions, as the governor and most Vermonters know, is one of the most fundamental principles of a free society. It was odd, then, that at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on March 17, Assistant Attorney General Bill Reynolds spoke against access to public records on behalf of the governor. Specifically, Reynolds said the governor opposed a bill, S.45, that would hold government responsible for wrongly denying access to public records or public meetings. The bill would simply change the word "may" to "shall" in terms of who should pay legal costs when the court rules for the plaintiff. The one-word change has become an issue because in recent years the courts have rarely awarded legal costs to the plaintiff -- even when the denial was a flagrant violation of the state's laws. The obvious outcome of such legal subjectivity is that small media operations, or individual citizens, rarely press for the information because of the likely out-of-pocket expense. This is no small matter. If a community board, or a state agency, decides to stonewall a public records request knowing that the person requesting the information is unlikely to take the government body to court, then the reality of open government is in name only -- not in practice. Go a step further and it's not difficult to imagine a public body stalling a request for public documents concerning a controversial issue, or closing a public meeting, with the full knowledge that court action would take weeks to resolve the issue and by then the issue may either be moot or not as consequential. Or consider the possibility of a public body denying a request for public records,  stalling for weeks, waiting for legal action to be initiated, only to finally satisfy the request a few days before court action knowing full well the court is unlikely to award legal fees to the plaintiff. In each instance, the intent of open government laws is subverted by the willingness of the public body to deny access simply because they know they will suffer no punitive consequence. That is bad government, and it undermines the integrity of the state's laws. Current law clearly states that plaintiffs "may" recover legal expenses if the judge rules in their favor. But when the laws aren't enforced, abuse spreads. An appropriate analogy is the enforcement of speeding laws: If the police never fined drivers for speeding, the driving public would learn there was no consequence to speeding and the laws would lose their effectiveness. When speeding tickets are handed out like popcorn at a movie, drivers obey the law. Nor would the proposed change put an onerous burden on state agencies or community boards. The consequence is to pay the legal expenses of the litigating party only when the courts find that the governing body acted wrongly and disobeyed the laws of the state. It's obvious that the request for public information or open access to meetings can be solved long before legal bills add up. In reality, a quick call to the Secretary of State and the Vermont League of Cities and Towns should yield a reasonable answer within the day or following day on most issues -- all at no expense. It is only in matters of flagrant violations on controversial issues that court suits are filed and legal fees are an issue. Why, then, would Douglas send word to oppose S.45? Why contradict his proclamation just days before during  National Sunshine Week that democracy required  "an informed citizenry and an open and accessible government?" No need to speculate. Last Thursday at the final Judical Committee hearing, Douglas sent word that he hadn't flip-flopped and that he wasn't really against enforcing the state's open meeting and public access laws. The governor wanted to be cautious, his spokespersons said, but they were sure both sides could work something out. Glad to hear it, but we're not quite sure why anyone needs to improve upon the simplicity of changing "may" to "shall." Then again, clarifying the rules and exemptions under the law is another matter and should be a separate initiative taken up by the government affairs committee.

Debian packages is I think most popular way of distributing binaries, so I've debootstrap Ubuntu Lucid distribution and prepared one for you. It's built for lucid, but it should work with any Debian or Ubuntu distribution (if not please give me a note!)
Add to your apt sources.list:
After apt-get update you can install these packages:
If you're (un)lucky and you use not .deb packages or other system architecture, you need to compile your own version of wireshark.
To make your life a little easier I've prepared get-wireshark.sh script (also in git repository) which will help to do this
But before you use get-wireshark.sh you need to install some dependencies.
Building wireshark requires dependencies listed on wiki page: http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development
Dependencies for plugins are listed below
Newer version of get-wireshark.sh support building only specific plugin(s)
Example usages:
Dependencies: Configured snort (plugin tested with: snort-2.8.6, snort-220.127.116.11)
Functionality: Support to filter snort alerts in Wireshark
Features: you can use new display filters:
Dependencies: libclamav, and optionally clamd (Tested with: clamav-0.97)
Functionality: Get files transferred over: mails, HTTP, samba and scan them with antivirus.
Features: you can use new display filters:
Dependencies: none
Functionality: Listen at 127.0.0.1:8080 and allow user to use wireshark functionality remotely.
WARNING: proof-of-concept, use it only with smaller (< 30 MB) capture files!
Dependencies: none
Functionality: Setup "proxy server" which imitate HTTP server and serve captured files
Dependencies: Graphviz with cairo support (tested with: graphviz-2.26.3)

Whre to start with this hyper diffusionist nonsense .
Cup and ring engravings pre date your dates ,even in Atlantic Europe . Check the date for the cups at Daraki Chattan in India .They are found on every continent except Antartica .
Dolmens are much earlier than you suggest . Men an Tol is one site with a holed stone probabaly originally a stone circle , so what ? Solstice stones ?? what are they ? You probably mean stones that are part of a monument that may be aligned to a solstice ?

Earliest of the inferred trans-Atlantic crossings, achieved by the Maritime Archaic Red-Paint Cultures of western Scandinavia and northwest Europe. The archeological remains of these people, carbon-dated in Norway to 5500 B.C., are very similar to those of the Maritime Archaic Red-Paint people of Labrador and New England, carbon-dated to 5000 B.C. On both sides of the North Atlantic these peoples operated sea-going wooden vessels and used similar fishing devices for hunting swordfish and marine mammals.

W.W. Norton has had a prominent and distinguished record as a publisher of books on history going back to when I worked there in the '70s. Now they've scored again. This one sounds fascinating. Who among New Yorkers knew that before the Civil War, our city had a substantial pro-slavery body of opinion that forced the Underground Railway to stay underground as it passed through the city, on the way to abolitionist New England?
Drew Gilpin Faust, named in the last paragraph, is not only an award-winning historian but Harvard University's first woman president. She's doing fine.
Eric Foner Wins Historical Society Book Prize
By Jennifer Schuessler
February 11, 2016
Eric Foner, the much-decorated Columbia University historian, will take on the title American Historian Laureate in April when the New-York Historical Society presents him with its annual American History Book Prize for "Gateway to Freedom: The Hidden History of the Underground Railroad."
The book, published by W.W. Norton, reconstructs the clandestine efforts by black and white abolitionists to help fugitive slaves passing through New York, a city with deep connections to the Southern cotton trade and the textile industry. The book also takes a broader view, exploring how these slaves and their allies in the Underground Railroad, while small in number, powerfully shaped national politics, playing a major role in sectional conflict and the coming of the Civil War.
"Eric Foner's riveting, inspiring story of fugitive slaves and the individuals who helped them to reach freedom contributes to our understanding of the history of Amercian slavery," Louise Mirrer, the society's president and chief executive said in a statement. The book's emphasis on New York and the North as centers both of abolitionist activity and pro-slavery sympathies, she added, also "echoes our institution's rich museum and library collections and programming," including its major 2005 exhibition "Slavery in New York."
In a statement, Mr. Foner called the honor, which comes with a $50,000 award and engraved medal, "a wonderful surprise." The prize, whose other recent winners include Drew Gilpin Faust, Gordon S. Wood and Jill Lepore, will be presented at a black-tie dinner on April 8, during the society's Weekend With History event.

Re: A new award-winning history
Perhaps this is why they eventually called the transit system the subway instead of the underground. OK, that was a weak joke. Thanks to John F for bringing this book to our attention. I did know that Union Army camps disliked being entertained by traveling troupes with an abolitionist theme because in general the northern soldiers couldn't have cared less about slavery.
There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.

Back to Basics
Sometimes we look so hard for Wrecks we fail to see the forest for the trees, as it were. After all, it doesn't take crazy sculpted nonsense or illiterate scrawlings to make a Wreck; sometimes all you need is a healthy dose of what I like to call "the fugly":
(You know, I bet a lot of you are going to like this one. Well, rest assured I won't be calling you a tasteless hippie if you do; I'll just give you one of my patented sardonic looks. Like this: [sardonic look]. Crippling, isn't it?)
Amanda, Anne M., Elizabeth C., & Miranda C., I'm sure these cakes are all beautiful on the inside.
Ok, that's a lie. But I'd still eat them.

Sage Lenhart Pattie
June 5, 1956-May 11, 2012
Pleasanton, California
Submitted by Steven Pattie
Contact the submitter
Sometimes sorrow comes unexpectedly.
In the midst of a valiant fight against cancer, Pleasanton psychotherapist Sage Lenhart Pattie passed away peacefully in her sleep on May 11, 2012 as a result of complications from the treatment in her battle with colon cancer.
Sage loved life to its fullest and embraced life with gusto even amidst the most difficult of times. Her joy, ready laugh, and deep empathy will be missed by all who crossed her path.
She was a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in Pleasanton. She was widely known and appreciated for applying her practical therapy techniques along with discerning listening skills to help change lives. People often expressed appreciation for the gentle humor she brought to her work. She had planned to bring to her practice the unique skills developed in recent studies with Cathryn Clerc at Hippocrene Springs ? integrating horses as partners in the therapeutic process.
Sage was born in Palo Alto and was a graduate of Palo Alto High School. During this time she was active in both Girl Scouts and Sea Scouts. Sage received her B.S. degree in Nutrition from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. After moving to Southern California, she completed her M.A. degree in Psychology from Fuller Graduate School of Psychology in Pasadena.
She began her career as a Nutrition Education Specialist and later served as a Public Health Nutritionist, working for such organizations as Los Ninos, Santa Barbara Family Care Center, Head Start, WIC, Santa Barbara Health Department, and guest lecturing at Santa Barbara City College.
Upon her move to Pasadena for graduate studies, she was invited to join the professional team of La Vie Counseling Center. There she served as a Nutrition Therapist and helped clients with eating disorders as well as other nutrition related problems.
During her graduate studies she began working with individuals, children, and families at the prestigious Glen Roberts Child Guidance Center in Glendale, California. She later founded Passages Family Therapy Center, a counseling outreach that offered psychotherapy to individuals and families.
Upon graduation she was appointed Program Director for the Wellness Community of Pasadena, a comprehensive psychosocial support treatment center for cancer patients and their families. She was responsible for the planning and implementation of a variety of community, educational, and social events serving a client base of over 200 people. She facilitated multiple weekly support groups for cancer patients and their families.
Sage is survived by her husband of 32 years, Steven Pattie of Pleasanton, and sons Nathan Norris Pattie of Honolulu and Lucas Ohio Pattie of Martinez; her mother, Gracella (Gee Gee) Anderson Lenhart of Palo Alto, as well as siblings Bill Lenhart of Riggins, Idaho, Laurie ?Lou? Engelhardt of Boise, Idaho, and Russ Lenhart of Railroad Flat, California; and her parents-in-law Frank and Mary Jane Pattie of Gilroy, and sister-in-law Linda Pattie of Columbia, Missouri. Preceding her in death was her father James (Ted) Lenhart. She was blessed to have many friends, professional colleagues, aunts, uncles and cousins, all of whom will miss her deeply.
A celebration of her life is planned in her honor on Saturday, July 21, at 4:00 P.M., at the family farm in the Santa Cruz Mountains, ten miles west of Gilroy.
In lieu of flowers, friends and others who shared her vision and supported her mission in life will be invited to contribute to the Sage Pattie Foundation, which the family is planning to establish. For more information, write to email@example.com.

Pine Nut Cake - Pinolata
I love this cake because you can have it after dinner as a dessert or you can have it in the morning with coffee and it's great either way. The traditional way to make this cake is very simple which is just mixing up the batter and pouring it into your pan. But thanks to Andrew Carmellini of Locanda Verde in New York City, I use a different method. He's a master at taking classic dishes and giving them a new twist and that is what he did with this cake. In his terrific book, Urban Italian, he makes the usual batter but then he whips up a meringue and folds that into the batter. It makes for a wonderfully light cake. He also adds lemon zest and juice to the cake, making it even more special. He likes to slice this cake and makes an ice cream sandwich out of it, with chocolate ice cream! Now there's an idea.

Subscribe To Under The Dome Renewed, Stephen King To Pen Season 2 Premiere Updates
I've already subscribed
Though it started out looking like a summer-long "event series" for CBS, we've known for a while now that the small screen adaptation of Stephen King's Under the Dome could be extended beyond the run of a season. Between the writers' comments about the possibility that the story could move forward, to the recent mention that Season 1 will end with a cliffhanger, not to mention the show's ratings this summer so far, renewal was looking more and more like a probability. And today comes confirmation. Not only is Season 2 a go, but Stephen King will write the season premiere!
GiveMeMyRemote dropped this little piece of news today, stating that Under the Dome has officially been confirmed for a second season. We were hoping we'd hear word of this at Comic-Con, but it wasn't meant to be, though we did hear about the mentioned finale cliffhanger there, which was an indication that the writers were moving forward as though there was a solid chance that the show would as well. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait much longer than that. Even better news is word that King himself will pen the Season 2 premiere.
Word of a second season further indicates that the series will continue to branch out and deviate from the novel on which it's based. King himself has shown support of the changes so far. But what does a second season mean for the story? We've heard that King once envisioned the story to span months or years with the residents of Chester's Mill trapped beneath the dome for an extended period of time. Of course, if you read the novel, you know that his story only goes for a couple of weeks before the situation peaks. The TV series is already looking like it will surpass that time-frame in its first season, but does a second season mean the dome won't come up anytime soon? It's hard to say, really. Given the "rules" of the dome, there's only so much time the residents could believably be trapped under there before supplies and food begin to run out, right? And then what? This show could veer into greater apocalyptic territory if that's the case. Or maybe the dome will come up and then drop back down again at some future point, allowing the opportunity to refresh supplies (and bring some outsiders in). We really don't know what the writers have planned in terms of where the story will go. And given all of the changes we've already seen to the plot, there's no reason to assume things will end the way they did in the book. So we'll just have to wait and see.
The sixth episode of the first season airs tonight, and based on the preview, it looks like at least part of it will visit the supermarket run, which is one of the darker moments from the book:

|Ohio State's Braxton Miller ran for two touchdowns and threw for three more in the Buckeyes' win over Penn State Saturday night.

GameDay Magazine | /Buckeyes | @OhioStAthletics | @Brutus_Buckeye
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State was looking for a lopsided win to impress the voters and boost its BCS numbers. The Buckeyes made Penn State pay the price.
Braxton Miller passed for three touchdowns and ran for two and Carlos Hyde rushed for 147 yards and two more scores to lead the fourth-ranked Buckeyes to a 63-14 victory over Penn State on Saturday night.
"We've got to keep our foot to the pedal," said Miller, who completed 18-of-24 passes for a career-best 252 yards before leaving in the third quarter.
It was the most points surrendered by Penn State (4-3, 1-2 Big Ten) and its worst beating in 114 years.
"It's the worst game I've experienced," said Nittany Lions outside linebacker Mike Hull.
Urban Meyer said trying to rout an opponent was not what his team set out to do.
"It helps," the coach said of needing to win big to get the attention of those voting in the coaches' and Harris polls that are part of the BCS standings formula. "That was not certainly our mindset. Our mindset was to find a way to win this game against a very talented team that we have a lot of respect for that had a lot of momentum coming into this game. … Things usually work out. I'd be disappointed if that was our guys' focus. That's not our focus."
The Ohio State (8-0, 4-0) victory stretched its nation's best winning streak to 20 in a row, two behind the school mark which included the 1968 national championship season. That team was recognized during the opening half as the Buckeyes streaked to a 42-7 lead.
Nittany Lions freshman QB Christian Hackenberg bobbled the second snap of the night and it never got much better. He ended up throwing two interceptions.
A crowd of 105,889 at Ohio Stadium roared from the outset — and had plenty of reasons.
Penn State hadn't given up so many points or been beaten so badly since losing 64-5 to the Duquesne Athletic Club on Nov. 25, 1899.
Even Miller's backup — Kenny Guiton — rushed for two touchdowns.
Bill Belton was one of the few bright spots for the Nittany Lions, gaining 98 yards on 22 carries.
It was the most one-sided margin by the Buckeyes and their most points scored in the 29 meetings in the series. The teams had split the last four meetings, with Ohio State holding a cumulative 79-66 scoring advantage. All of those matchups were close.
But this one sure wasn't. It got out of hand quickly.
The Buckeyes enforced their will on the Nittany Lions on both sides of the ball in an impressive show of strength.
Ohio State scored on six of seven possessions in the first two quarters, throwing deep for scores to wide-open receivers and jamming it between the tackles with Miller and Hyde making the most of gaping holes.
"I'm improving myself and showing what I've got," Miller said. "The first half, it went really well: fast, fast, momentum. The game plan worked out."
Miller completed all four of his passes for 65 yards after the opening kickoff before Hyde bulled right tackle for a 2-yard TD.
In the only real drama of the game, Penn State manufactured a nice drive in response by mixing Belton runs with Hackenberg passes until faced with a third and 5 at the Ohio State 12.
Then Hackenberg tried to thread a pass to tight end Adam Breneman at the goal line, with safety Corey "Pittsburgh" Brown picking off the underthrown attempt to end the threat.
After the teams traded punts, the Buckeyes scored on five straight possessions. Miller scrambled right and just tumbled into the end zone behind a block by Devin Smith on a 39-yard scoring run.
Two plays later, safety C.J. Barnett jumped a route and intercepted a Hackenberg pass and the onslaught was on. Seven plays and 52 yards later, Miller hesitated after taking the snap and had his pick of routes to the goal line, carrying the final 6 yards to make it 21-0.
"We didn't really talk about it, but I was watching games all day on TV," Miller said. "We can't go out there and predict what's going to happen. We just had a great week of preparation and it turned out well."
Hackenberg finished 12 of 23 for 112 yards passing with a touchdown and two interceptions. He carried four times for 21 yards in losses.
The final score had to bring a chuckle to former Ohio State coach John Cooper. He took a team ranked No. 21 to Happy Valley in 1994, which was run over by the top-ranked Nittany Lions by a score of — that's right — 63-14.
"I like where we're at right now as a team," Meyer said. "The most impressive part of the game to me was we caused turnovers and we hit the quarterback a little bit. We haven't been doing that."

Columbus, Ohio -- September 15, 1997 -- When Leslie Hiemenz's doctoral adviser encouraged her to take her engineering skills and use them to advance medicine, she never imagined she would end up presenting her work at a national conference.
"I can't believe that I have come this far," said Leslie Hiemenz, a Ph.D. student in biomedical engineering at The Ohio State University. "It feels awesome. I keep giggling every time I read the conference poster and see that the presenters are 'experts in their fields.'"

...Okay, I'm lying about the "strong" part, but I'm still going.
Now including links to previous threads! Go me!These are comic strips I draw. I draw them for HotD, which I usually post here after she reads them. Some censored for the chaste eyes of VGF. First, a few things I think you should know.
I created these characters circa 2000 and developed them with HotD's help meticulously for around the course of five years, and the basic premise revolves around a Shy Guy who teaches a girls' P.E. class (no, seriously) including slice-of-life episodes of the students. You would probably think it's the brainchild of a socially bereft nerd who's making a lame attempt to mix up his fondness for Mario and manga art befitting of deviantART and general fanfiction. Well, that's because it is. But hey, I'm showing it to you anyway.
Along with that are some comics featuring characters whose creation precede the premise above: A bunch of Bandits (Yoshi's Island enemies) living in an abandoned building with the aforementioned Shy Guy. Plus, a naked fairy woman, because I couldn't **** help myself.
I admit it--I like to draw stereotypical anime girls. I have the intention to possibly use these characters professionally somehow and someday, and my basic concept is mixing manga art with Western satire. So yes, it's basically another stupid animu harem series, but whatever; I draw what I like. As far as I'm concerned, I'm currently just drawing these for fun and faeries at the moment.
Speaking of deviantART, I do not have a gallery anywhere on the internet (my private Photobucket page doesn't count). I still do not have any plans to put up one anytime soon.
On that note, I still currently have no desire to put up my own website for this. I'm posting them here for your amusement, and if that doesn't gel with anybody of authority, I honestly have no problem stopping altogether.
Apparently, drawing new stuff takes a lot of time because I am a lazy slob. At first, I generally tried to post a comic a day, but that was before I realized webcomics and regularity do not mix. So, yeah. Expect a comic posted... sporadically. At least for now. I'll get better at this eventually--I swear.
Some comics may be links.

A walking school bus isn't yellow, burns no gas, and is fueled by human energy. The "wheels" on this "bus" go round and round when small groups of children pedal their bikes or walk to school as adults supervise them along the route.
A walking school bus isn't yellow, burns no gas, and is fueled by human energy. The "wheels" on this "bus" go round and round when small groups of children pedal their bikes or walk to school as adults supervise them along the route.
This people-powered form of transportation has caught on in communities across the country and around the world. According to new research, it's an idea with legs -- plenty of them.
A recent study of the program showed that participating students increased the amount and intensity of their physical activity, a big step toward stemming rising rates of childhood obesity.
The research, which appears online in Pediatrics, followed 149 fourth-graders from eight schools in Houston, over a five-week period. Seventy children were randomly assigned to board the walking school bus while the other 79 students relied on their usual transportation methods to get to class. Unlike previous studies, many of the children were ethnic minorities and came from low-income households.
All the boys and girls involved in the study lived within a mile of school and wore accelerometers, a gadget that measures how much time each child spent being active and the intensity of the activity.
Turning the Tide
In 1969, 42% of children actively commuted to the classroom, but by 2009 that number dropped to 13%. Now, more than 30% of children in this country are overweight and about 17% of them are considered obese.
Researchers found that boys and girls who boarded the walking school bus increased their active commuting time by 30% over the study period, compared to their classmates who did not. They also boosted their minutes of daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity while their peers who depended on their usual transportation reduced their time spent exercising at this intensity.
The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans encourage children and teens aged 6 to 17 to get at least 60 minutes of activity each day, most of it at moderate to vigorous intensity.
Parents had a 36% reduction in their motor vehicle commuting, which saves time each day and money at the gas tank in addition to improving traffic and air pollution.
"Active commuting could help to broadly improve youth physical activity and prevent chronic disease," the study researchers write.

Arsenal boss holds advanced talks with Higuain
Brought to you by
Arsenal are closing in on the £20m signing of Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuain according to The Daily Mirror.
The story claims that manager Arsène Wenger has met with the player's father and agent in Paris to discuss a move to the Emirates.
Higuain looks set to leave the Spanish capital this summer after Real Madrid Chairman Florentino Perez stated the Argentine was free to leave, and there is no shortage of interest in the 25-year-old. Juventus are also believed to be interested.
When asked about the possibility of a transfer to Arsenal, Higuain stated: "Arsenal? They would suit me. I'm still young and I have goals."
Arsenal are tracking Higuain as one of many targets including Fiorentina's Stevan Jovetic, and disillusioned Manchester United star Wayne Rooney. However, interest in Jovetic is said to have faded, and competition from big spenders Chelsea for Rooney may make Higuain an easier option.
Money is certainly no longer an issue for Arsenal as confirmed by chief executive Ivan Gazidis yesterday; he said the club would benefit from an "escalation of our financial power" provided by a £70m rise in the club's annual income.
As Higuain has ready scored plenty of goals in one of Europe's top leagues at the relatively tender age of 25, his European pedigree combined with his stellar reputation make this transfer fall under the category of a marquee signing, which is just what Arsenal fans have been crying out for, for some time now.
Higuain's father said: "Madrid will want to sell. Juventus or Arsenal? I guess he has spoken with them. The clubs first have to talk to Madrid and in direct negotiation."
The fee is likely to be set at around £20m by the Spanish giants, and with wages of around £130,000 per week, Higuain could comfortably agree terms with Arsenal in light of their new spending policy.
Should Arsenal sign Higuain over Jovetic and Rooney? Let us know below.

Research DescriptionMy research focuses on problems in statistical and computational genetics. In general, my interests are in developing both new mathematical methods and computational techniques to overcome complex problems in the analysis of genetic data. I believe that by providing improved methods to researchers that make more efficient use of data as well as integrate a wider range of information, I will have a positive impact on the scientific insights and conclusions that are drawn. I have recently been concentrating my research in the area of complex trait mapping, with application to the analysis of quantitative traits in the Hutterites. The size and complexity of the Hutterite pedigree (13 generations, 1,623 individuals) make most standard analyses intractable, unless drastic simplifications of the genealogy are undertaken. Instead, Drs. Mary Sara McPeek, Carole Ober and I have developed methods for linkage and linkage disequilibrium mapping within the variance component framework that makes full use of the pedigree information (Abney et al 2000, 2002). Further work with Dr. McPeek includes implementation of a novel permutation-based test of significance.

Urge US officials to draft and publish dietary guidelines that are consistent with the best available nutrition science and prioritize vulnerable communities.
Food & Agriculture
Shopping for Change
Take a trip through the aisles of a typical supermarket...and see how the apparent abundance of food choices masks a food system in dire need of transformation.
We rely on your support
Take action
What's at Stake
Our food system is failing us—but science can help transform it.
The U.S. government spends billions of dollars each year to subsidize crops used to produce processed foods and sugary drinks—the same foods the USDA's nutritional guidelines tell us to eat less of.
This policy failure is contributing to a massive and costly public health crisis, as rates of chronic, diet-related diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease have shot up—even, increasingly, among children.
And the same policies that encourage unhealthy food production also support an outdated, unsustainable system of industrial agriculture, which has damaging impacts on soil, air, water, human health, and rural economies.
There's a better way.
Smart, science-based food and farm policies can increase every American's access to fresh fruits and vegetables, saving thousands of lives and billions of health care dollars in the process.
And by encouraging farmers to grow a diverse mix of foods using modern, sustainable methods, healthy food policies will also help keep U.S. agriculture productive for the long term.
With powerful interests defending current policies, transforming our food system in a healthier direction will not be easy. But we can do it—and our future depends on it.

Our Failing Food System
Agriculture in the United States has taken the wrong road, and it isn't working.
The wealthiest nation in the world is feeding its people an unhealthy diet—and growing most of this food using unsustainable methods. The results? A population threatened by a crisis of diet-related chronic illness; millions of acres of damaged farmland; chemical runoff spilling into our waterways.
Our food system, for all its vaunted productivity, is failing us.
Unhealthy food policy
U.S. food policy should work to ensure a plentiful supply of healthy food for the nation. But the current system of agricultural subsidies mostly benefits large-scale growers of commodity crops such as corn and soybeans. Our diet is dominated by processed foods made from these subsidized crops, and a growing body of research connects this diet to increases in obesity and the diseases that go with it.
The solution? We need to eat more fruits and vegetables—and therefore, we need policies that encourage farmers to grow them. But Big Ag benefits from the status quo and is fighting to protect it.
Learn more about unhealthy food policy >
Industrial agriculture
The late 20th century saw a major transformation in U.S. agriculture. Farms grew to enormous sizes, becoming focused on a few commodity crops and increasingly dependent on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. And meat production became dominated by large CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations).
These methods of producing food leave a host of problems in their wake. Runoff from chemical inputs and CAFO waste pollutes our water and contributes to global warming; monoculture—planting a single crop over a large area year after year—depletes soil and reduces biodiversity; overuse of antibiotics in meat production threatens our ability to fight human disease.
Learn more about industrial agriculture >
Healthy Food and Farm Solutions
The good news is that we know how to fix our food system.
Science-based sustainable farming methods can (and do) produce abundant food without the pitfalls of industrial agriculture. Local and regional food systems can help make fresh, healthy food available to everyone. And forward-looking policies can help these innovative practices grow and prosper.
Here's what we need to do make healthy food and farm solutions take root:
Expand healthy food access
We know Americans need to eat healthier food—and that starts with producing more of it. But growing healthy food using sustainable methods is only half the equation. We also need to make sure that this food is available and affordable—especially in lower-income communities, which are disproportionately affected by the health impacts of the industrial food system. Local and regional food systems, school food programs, food equity initiatives, and other innovative approaches can help ensure that all Americans have access to the fruits of farmers' labor.
Learn more about expanding healthy food access >
Advance sustainable agriculture
The farmers of the future will use sustainable practices that get the most out of the land while preserving and improving the health of soil, water, and local ecosystems.
And the future, increasingly, is now. Growing numbers of American farmers are using sustainable practices to grow healthy foods—and thriving businesses. But in a food system geared to serve the needs of industrial agriculture, these farmers often face an uphill battle.
Learn more about advancing sustainable agriculture >
Strengthen healthy farm policy
Farm policy has become part of the problem—subsidizing the wrong foods, steering research dollars toward industrial agriculture, and creating roadblocks for farmers who grow fruits and vegetables or use sustainable practices.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Policy solutions that will help farmers feed a healthy America are on the table, and UCS is helping to win them the support they need to become reality.

Could Wells Fargo Become the Next Countrywide?
In 2012, fueled by historically low interest rates and stabilizing home prices, Wells Fargo's mortgage banking unit churned out an industry-leading $524 billion of mortgage loans and boosted the unit's revenue 49% compared to 2011. To put this $524 billion in perspective, not even the infamous Countrywide Financial, now owned by Bank of America , eclipsed the $500 billion mark in the boom years of 2005 or 2006.
While banks like B of A and smaller lenders scaled back mortgage operations, Wells Fargo remained steadfast in its position in the market and was able to take full advantage of the recent refinancing boom. The simple thought that Wells Fargo's current mortgage business is even bigger than Countrywide's in its heyday may cause Wells Fargo shareholders to cringe.
However, it is important to remember that not all mortgages are created equally. The vast majority of mortgage loans in the United States fall into two categories: Conforming and nonconforming.
Conforming mortgages are loans that have a specified limited loan amount ranging between $417,000 and $625,000, depending on the area, and meet certain debt-to-income ratio standards. These limits are set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and determine which mortgage institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can purchase from lenders and securitize. Naturally, nonconforming mortgage loans do not meet these standards and must either be kept on the lender's books or securitized in the private market, a market that has since dried up since the financial crisis.
The main difference between Wells Fargo's mortgage volume today and Countrywide's in 2006 is a shift in mortgage type. A staggering 46% of Countrywide's loans were non-conforming loans. Before investors became almost completely opposed to private-label mortgage-backed securities, Countrywide was able to profitably market these mortgages into securities. Once the credit crisis hit, Countrywide (then part of B of A) had no way to keep its origination engine churning in the absence of private-label liquidity.
Unlike 2006, conforming mortgages are now driving the increase in origination volume. Due to the Federal Reserve's presence in the market and absence of credit risk associated with agency mortgaged-backed securities, liquidity has been flowing through Wells Fargo and other originators as loan supply has kept pace with the enormous refinancing demand. Refinancing demand may taper off as interest rates eventually creep higher, and Wells Fargo's revenue from its mortgage banking operation will probably decline from current levels. Despite experiencing enormous volume, given the nature of its originations, Wells Fargo's shareholders should not be concerned about becoming the second-coming of Countrywide.

First European woman heads for International Space Station
ESA PR 57-2001. ESA's French astronaut Claudie Haigneré will become the first European woman to visit the International Space Station (ISS) after she lifts off from Baikonur on board a Russian Soyuz vehicle on Sunday 21 October at 10:58 CEST (08:58 GMT) for a ten-day space mission.
The Soyuz will dock with the International Space Station, approximately 48 hours after lift-off, on Tuesday 23 October at 12:43 CEST (10:43 GMT). Before its arrival, the members of the Expedition Three crew already on board the station - Frank Culbertson, station commander, Vladimir Dezhurov, Soyuz commander, and flight engineer Mikhail Tyurin - will change the location of the Soyuz capsule currently attached to the station to clear the port for the arrival of the visiting crew.
Alongside Claudie Haigneré, two Russian cosmonauts Victor Afanassiev, commander, and Konstantin Kozeev, flight engineer, are the other crewmembers on this mission. She is the first non-Russian woman to undertake the role of flight engineer.
This mission, named Andromède, was initiated by the French Minister for Research and is being carried out under an agreement between the French space agency (CNES), the Russian space agency (Rosaviakosmos) and the Russian company RSC Energia.
One of the mission's main objectives is to replace the Station's Soyuz vehicle which serves as the main rescue craft for the Space Station crew in case of emergency. This is done every six months to ensure that the rescue craft is always in top condition. The visiting crew will depart from the ISS aboard the Soyuz currently attached to the station on 31 October in the early morning after an eight-day stay, and will land approximately three hours later in Kazakhstan.
During her stay Claudie Haigneré and her crewmates will carry out a programme of experiments exploring life sciences, biology, materials science and Earth observation on behalf of CNES, ESA and DLR (German Aerospace Centre). Some of the experiments have been proposed by children and students at various schools and colleges in France and Germany.
"Andromède will demonstrate how the focus of work on the ISS is shifting more and more towards scientific research. Part of our aim is to show young people in Europe what we are doing up there and that a career in science and technology can be fascinating and fulfilling", said Claudie Haigneré.
For Claudie Haigneré (44), a doctor, the Andromède mission will be the second stay in space, after the Russian-French Cassiopée mission to Mir in 1996.
Media representatives in Europe can follow the live transmission of the launch or the docking from the ESA establishments. See the Press Release for more details and a reply form »»».

GTA 4 - Grand Theft Auto IV PC Game Full Version Free Download
Grand Theft Auto IV is a sandbox-style action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles in Europe, North America and Oceania, on 29 April 2008, and in Japan on 30 October 2008. A Windows version of the game was released in North America on 2 December 2008 and in Europe on 3 December. It was made available on Steam on 4 January 2009. It is the sixth 3D game in the Grand Theft Auto series.
Two episodic packs have since been released for the Xbox 360, the first entitled The Lost and Damned, released on 17 February 2009. The second is entitled The Ballad of Gay Tony, released on 29 October 2009. Both episodes were released for PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows on 13 April 2010[20] in North America and on 16 April 2010 in Europe.
The game is set in a redesigned rendition of Liberty City, a fictional city based heavily on modern day New York City. It follows Niko Bellic, a war veteran from Serbia. He comes to the United States in search of the American Dream, but quickly becomes entangled in a world of gangs, crime, and corruption. Like other games in the series, GTA IV is composed of elements from driving games and third-person shooters, and features "open-world" gameplay that gives players more control over their playing experience. It is the first console game in the series to feature an online multiplayer mode.
As the first game of the critically acclaimed series to appear on seventh generation consoles, Grand Theft Auto IV was widely anticipated. A major commercial and critical success, it broke industry records with sales of around 3.7 million units on its first day of release and grossing more than $500 million in revenue in the first week, selling an estimated 6 million units worldwide. As of 9 June 2010, the game had sold over 17 million copies. It is the all-time highest-scoring game on three professional critic review-aggregating websites: TopTenReviews, GameRatio and GameTab. It is also the highest rated current-generation game on Metacritic and MobyGames.

'Picking 24th overall, the Buffalo Sabres entered the 2006 draft with their lowest first-round pick in team history. The Sabres had a total of six picks at their disposal, and looked to address needs both in net and on the blue line. At the end of the day, they met their goal by coming away with three rearguards, two centers, and a goaltender who will be vying for the chance to wear the blue and gold sweater in a few years' time.'
