Below are a few quoted snippets from the article.
Rising From The Sewer In All-New Ways, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Are Ready For Ninja Action
Action Figures
New waves of Basic Action Figures will be introduced throughout the year, including Leatherhead, Baxter Stockman, Cockroach Terminator, as well as Stealth Tech Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo
Deluxe Action Figures
With the ability to fling out projectiles to take out the enemy, the Flingers Deluxe Action Figures come fully equipped and ready for battle! Kids simply load the different projectiles into the backpacks of each figure, roll the figures across a hard surface and watch as the contents of their backpacks launch!
Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo are always ready for a battle against Shredder and the evil Foot Clan, and now the Turtles can be thrown into the battle with the Throw N' Battle Deluxe Figures. Decked out in their night ninja outfits, the Throw N' Battle Turtles start out in stealth mode with their legs and arms folded behind their head. Give them a toss into the battle and they spring to their feet, unleash their weapons and are ready to take out Shredder and the Foot!
Classic Collection
The Classic Collection Action Figures reflect the look of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the 80's TV show.
Ooze Segment
Get ready for ultimate Ooze action with the Mutagen Ooze Action Figures! Outfitted in their Ooze Bustin' gear, the Turtles have discovered a way to safely handle the Ooze (the mysterious substance that transformed the Turtles from pets to ninjas) and fling it back at the Kraang and the many mutants.
Cruise the Ooze with the Mutagen Ooze Sewer Cruiser, a fast-floating wet ski, complete with its own slick defense system - a cooler contraption to diffuse the Ooze and ice any Kraang in pursuit.
Turtle-ize the skies with the Mutagen Ooze Drop Copter, an airborne assault helicopter, complete with twin tubs to diffuse the Ooze on the Foot Clan. Fast spinning propeller blades and a real working winch help the Turtles race to the rescue and get out of danger quickly.
Remote Control Vehicles
Drive the Turtles into their next battle with the Ninja Control Shellraiser, a full function, remote control vehicle.
Turtle Vehicles
As seen in the hit TV show, the Patrol Buggies are individually customized and ready for action! Two assortments are available; Leo and Donnie's Patrol Buggy and Mikey and Raph's Patrol Buggy.
All four vehicles can also snap together to become the ULTIMATE MEGA PATROL BUGGY! The Patrol Buggies are compatible with most of the Turtles basic action figures (sold separately).
It's triple turbo terror as the Kraang launch an aerial alien assault with the Hover Drone.
From the streets to the sewers of NYC, the Ninja AT3 vehicle is equipped to handle any terrain as the Turtles seek out and battle against the evil Foot!
A classic theme for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and re-established in the new Nickelodeon CG-animated series, Playmates Toys has combined the compact look and feel of a pizza box with a fully featured playset in the new Anchovy Alley Pop-Up Pizza Playset.
Role Play
Now the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are available at your finger tips with the Turtle-Comm!
The transformation into a hero-in-a-half shell is not complete without having the authentic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shell!
Kids can immediately transform themselves into their favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle with the Ninja Turtles Deluxe Mask Assortment!

There appears to be a lot of widening opinions and misinformation on-line in regards to how often you should bathe your labrador retriever. In order to understand this you have to learn a little more about the coat itself.
The labrador retriever has a short, thick coat which isn't particularly hard to maintain. What is important about the labrador retriever's coat is that it contains an oil which helps protect them against dirt and keeps their skin dry when they are swimming of when they get wet. This oil is very important to keeping your labs skin clean and healthy.
If you wash your labrador retriever too often you will wash this oil out of their coat and this will likely lead to a number health problems. We really only bathe our dogs twice a year at most or if they get into something too stinky for us to stand. You don't really need to bathe a labrador retriever beyond this.
When you do decide to bathe your labrador retriever please do not use a regular shampoo made for humans. Again, you may do more damage to the oil in the coat. Instead talk to your vet or pet store and find a mild and gentle shampoo designed for labrador retrievers.
Remember your Labrador retrievers coat is a sign over their overall health. If you notice that the coat is too dry or dull then there could be something else happening. This could be from over bathing or food allergies. Do not let it go unchecked.

The Digitally Enabled Grid research maps a new role for electricity distribution.
For utility distribution businesses, a centralized generation model with limited active control looks increasingly inadequate. To meet future technical requirements, evolving consumer needs and a changing regulatory framework, companies must take actions toward a new role.
In this third edition of the Digitally Enabled Grid research program, we explore some of the disruptive forces facing the industry and the emergence of a range of potential models.
Accenture believes the future of distribution is in sight, and that the Distribution Platform Optimizer model provides the most sustainable long-term solution for the utility and all users of the system; controlling costs, providing access to the network and supporting policymakers in meeting sustainability targets.

The challenge was tossed down: Stretch your imagination! Choose some object, walk around the house with it, then put it to work in a way you've never seen done before.
With very limited time this weekend, I wracked my brain for some simple but effective twist on the everyday objects around me. Inspiration suddenly struck!
Everyone has silverware and kitchen utensils. How could I use these everyday object and see them in a new way?
And during this season, pumpkins are in abundant supply....
My goal was to combine these items in a funky new way...
Yes...yes.... it's taking shape. What do we have here?
Oh, now if that doesn't make you laugh, then you need a closer look at this little geezer's anatomy!
And I neglected to mention: that's mustard on the end of the funnel to create the yellow beak!
This turkey says, "Eat more pumpkin!"
Thank you Donna over at Funky Junk for challenging us to be brave, take charge and do something different.
Party with The Wildly Original Crowd!

Donors paid for dozens of the University of Colorado's most loyal hoops fans to go to the Pac-12 Tournament and then go dancing with the Buffs in the NCAA tourney -- a travel tab that totaled $67,200.
CU Athletic Director Mike Bohn said that as far as he knows, paying the way for fans' travel is an idea unique to the Buffs -- and he said it's a way to build pride and interest as the university has transitioned into the Pac-12.
"The energy and spirit they brought was incredibly inspirational," Bohn said.
CU senior Ian Buller, a biology major, was among the chosen fans who got to travel to both of the tournaments.
"We have the best home court in the conference," he said. "We couldn't bring the altitude to L.A. or Albuquerque, but we could bring the students and we could bring the noise and we could bring the cheering to help keep our teams' spirits up. They weren't just playing for themselves, they were playing for the entire university. I also think it gets into the heads of the other team's players."
Earlier this month, for the Pac-12 tournament, the CU athletic department rewarded its biggest fans by flying them to Los Angeles and paying for their hotel accommodations and game tickets so they could cheer on the men's and women's basketball teams. The fans watched the CU men's team win all four games in four days and take home the league championship. They were also treated to two women's games, as the lady Buffs were stopped short after a loss to California.
Then, when the CU men's team won the conference title -- and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament -- CU subsidized travel for 110 of its most devout fans, allowing them to travel to Albuquerque, N.M., for CU's match-up against Baylor University in the second round of the tournament. CU lost 80-63.
The fans only paid $50 for their travel and game tickets.
During the tournament games, commentators took note of the attendance of CU students, loyal fans from the C-Unit section that Head Coach Tad Boyle has called "the heartbeat of the arena."
The CU athletic department used donations to pay for the travel of 160 students, and each trip cost about $420, Bohn said. He said no tuition money or state funds were used for the travel expenses.
The selection process was based on students' attendance at men's and women's games, and the athletic department awarded extra points to students who attended women's games.
"The players talked about the fact that when they ran down the ramp that they felt like it was a home game and they were running into Coors," Bohn said.
Buller said traveling to the NCAA Tournament was a "dream come true."
"It's something I'll remember for the rest of my life," he said.

I was having a medical test — payback for an ill-spent youth and a middle age filled with bad habits, if the truth be told.
The technician informed me that after the test I would be radioactive for half a day and should avoid hugging babies and pregnant women.
No kidding. Radioactive. I asked, "Will I have superpowers?"
She responded with a clipped "no." I think she heard that one before.
The test took around half an hour and most of that I spent alone and prone in a machine with my thoughts.
I started praying the Rosary, using my fingers as the beads. The test took the Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries, plus halfway again through the Joyful. I would have started on the Luminous, but I had a brain cramp and couldn't remember them.
Afterward, I wondered if that wouldn't be a good way to tell Catholic time to each other. "I was in line at the grocery for two full decades of the Rosary," we could say.
That's one of the joys — and solaces — of the Faith that seems underappreciated in modernity. The sacramentals, the quiet devotionals of prayer, the art on our walls and the statues in our hallways — there is a rootedness to the Faith, grounded in our daily lives that carries us through if we are paying any attention at all. Or even no attention.
In the home my mother and father made, the Faith was as natural as the breath in our lungs. It was in the prayers before meals and before bed, the intercession of saints for causes great and small, the fasting and the abstaining. A child learned through the slow minutes of each day the essentials of faith. In Catholic school, we were taught the catechism; at home we absorbed it.
There was a time when these things were dismissed as rote memorization or mere ritualism — even superstition. But going out of your way to put on that scapular day in and day out meant much more than just a pious act; it was an ordinary act that was an act of faith.
St. Thérèse of Lisieux reminded us that the Faith is lived in the little moments, so that when the big moments arrive, it is as natural to us as an old friend.
We now know — at least I think we know — that the Faith is meant to be lived and breathed, and shown and shared. It's not only our belief, but our lives.
The Faith celebrates our joys and consoles us in our sorrows. It challenges us to do good and do better and gives us the grace for both in our days as we live them.
But it is also lived in the moment, and it is lived in the ordinary. It carries us through.
Years and years ago, my mother and her sister would take their little ones in baby carriages to the Sacred Heart monastery in Yonkers, N.Y., on Sunday afternoons when it was warm. They would join in an afternoon prayer service, two young mothers rocking their little ones to the chants and litanies.
My mother admitted that it wasn't piety on their part. It was also something to do, a way to get the babies the fresh air of a walk and get themselves out of the house for a little while.
But that was the point. That was the grace. It was the Faith living, the Faith comforting, the Faith helping in the ordinariness of an afternoon.
I wish I had remembered the Luminous Mysteries: the Baptism of the Lord, the Wedding at Cana, the Proclamation of the Kingdom, the Transfiguration and the Institution of the Eucharist. It would have made those moments when I was swallowed up in modern medical technology a little more complete as I marked Hail Marys with my fingers.

Join the club of the real world. It is scary to not have school to fall back on and it would have been better to have good grades, but it is not the real world. Now you will have to choose something and you may not like it. Believe it or not there are a lot of people in this world that don't love their jobs. If you got into a T10 school and graduated I am sure you will figure something out and things will probably work out, but the real world is not as ideal as anyone wants it to be. Unfortunately, you cannot use the I think I will go to law school to get out of the situation anymore, but you will figure something, because you are going to have to. Choose a path and go down it you can always change it, but you need to make on decision whether it be police work, teaching, immigration lawyer, whatever give it a shot if it sucks you can always get out of it. You are not signing any 30 year life long commitments.
There are numerous federal law enforcement agencies that would be interested. You mentioned the FBI, but there are other organizations DEA, Homeland Security, Secret Service, I am sure quite a few more would be interested to hear from you. This whole war on terror has opened up a few jobs in Federal Law enforcement. If you want to be in California there are a lot of facilitator jobs for J.D.'s. In San Francisco the organization is called Access and it just provides free legal service to the poor. The office is in the courthouse and I have some friends doing it that seem to really like it. I believe every county in California is required to have a similar program, but I am not 100% sure. These jobs obviously don't extremely well, but you would be a court attorney and have a paycheck, which is nice. I am sure you will figure something out despite what random people say on the internet there are plenty of ways to use a law degree.
Thanks bigs. I like the "facilitator" idea. I'm a little iffy about DEA and Homeland Security, just b/c I'm ambivalent about my country's drug and immigration policies. I was in the military before law school and don't like the idea of fighting for causes I don't believe in.PT can be brought back to snuff in 3 months. Eyesight standards are generally correctable to 20/20 with contact lenses. At least, that's what it was for FBI last time I checked.

Shteyngart, great 21st century satirist, here today
He'll read from his books, answer questions at Rapaporte Treasure Hall
If Sasha Baron Cohen had been a writer instead of an actor, he'd probably have been something like Gary Shteyngart.
This Leningrad-born, New York-bred literary phenom always seems to be in character, and his character is profane, ironic, comedic, melancholic, sarcastic, satirical…. The list goes on.
Shteyngart will at Brandeis Monday [Rapaporte Treasure Hall, 4:45 p.m.] for what's being described as a "literary encounter." Given his predilection for absurdist poses and exuberant prose, you can probably assume it will be neither staid nor academic in tone.
This is a guy whose Facebook page features snapshots of him popping up Waldo- or Zelig-like everywhere from Beijing to Paris to the Canadian Arctic, accompanied by ersatz diary entries like this one pasted over a panorama of a serenely beautiful fjord:
"Day Two of the Scandinavian Occupation. So far, so good. I like our hot, tall, athletic overlords. They put me on fjord maintenance duty for the week. Lars the Overseer can be a bit melancholy, but when I told him I got the milkmaid pregnant, he gave me FOUR years of paternity leave. So long, suckers!"
It is a guy whose second novel was described by the New York Observer as "the first truly effective satire of the twenty-first century," in which "the novel's antihero, Misha Vainberg, an obscenely fat Russian, finds himself lovelorn in the imaginary republic of Absurdistan, a country swiftly descending into a civil war."
And whose third novel, "Super Sad True Love Story," is summarized (in part) like this on its website:
" In a very near future — oh, let's say next Tuesday — a functionally illiterate America is about to collapse. But don't tell that to poor Lenny Abramov, the thirty-nine-year-old son of an angry Russian immigrant janitor, proud author of what may well be the world's last diary, and less-proud owner of a bald spot shaped like the great state of Ohio. Despite his job at an outfit called Post-Human Services, which attempts to provide immortality for its super-rich clientele, death is clearly stalking this cholesterol-rich morsel of a man. And why shouldn't it? Lenny's from a different century—he totally loves books (or "printed, bound media artifacts," as they're now known), even though most of his peers find them smelly and annoying. But even more than books, Lenny loves Eunice Park, an impossibly cute and impossibly cruel twenty-four-year-old Korean American woman who just graduated from Elderbird College with a major in Images and a minor in Assertiveness."
This is a guy who told the Jerusalem Post earlier this year that he feels at home in Israel not because he's Jewish, not because he's Russian, but because he grew up in a tumultuous environment and gets bored in peaceful places.
Shteyngart will read from "Super Sad True Love Story" and perhaps from "Absurdistan" as well before answering questions from Dr. Kathy Lawrence and the audience at large on Monday.
The fact that Lawrence -- whose expertise is in the American transcendentalists -- is joining the Center for German and European Studies, the Brandeis-Genesis Institute for Russian Jewry, the Tauber Institute for the Study of European Jewry, the Department of English, the Program in Creative Writing, the Department of German, Russian and Asian Languages and Literature, Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies and the Russian Club in supporting the event is testimony to Shteyngart's broad appeal.
"Ultimately you could call him Emersonian in a way," Lawrence said. "He's invented his own style, he is his own person, he combines the sense of freedom he has in America with a critical look at his adopted country."
More to the point, Lawrence said, "he's an important writer. Forgetting the ethnicity, the identity politics, he's our new Philip Roth. He's important because he's cutting edge, and his form mirrors his content. He's one of the few writers we have today who's trying to push the stylistic envelope. I'm a big fan."
"He's sort of Don DeLillo meets George Orwell," she said. "There's a sense of things falling apart in these largely autobiographical novels of his."
In the Jerusalem Post interview, Shteyngart said of writing that "If there are limits then you haven't really done your job."
One of the ways he defines "no limits," he told the Post, is that, when his father asks whether his latest book will be "good for the Jews," he can honestly say that not only won't it be good for the Jews, it won't be good for anyone.

Episode 2 was as sweet as I imagined it to be.
Kinda interesting how the story goes now:
It's kinda hard to predict what's going to happen next...
I agree, Lelouch is the one of the best main characters ever...
Good luck with the subbing

Wow, wtf is this one? Death Note the futuristic military version? It is very intriguing.... (and funny no one here see this as a dialogue to DN... *smirk*)
And just one quick rejoinder to the political tirade the people here engaging before.... Well I think there are different levels of reading and I dont think this show, up to ep. 2, means to purport what people would call "japanese nationalism".
And hey, I am a chinese myself and I have no love for the japanese invasion and the mayhem they brought to china and korea at all, nor do I have any affiliation with the array of people from Kaiji Kawaguchi to a bunch of japanese modern national myth apologists in this forum (I fought with them in many occasions) but well, this show to me operates on many levels and never tries to oversimplify any single party involved. A sophistication to me it is, and wish there would be no more tirade traded but judgment suspension until there are more concrete evidences on that....

Cough, I'd say gg's translator (and editors for that matter) might want to spend a bit of time looking at...quite a few lines.
To pick, say, every line up until the first minute:
gg: 2010 a.t.b, August 10th.
Imperial calendar, August 10th 2010
gg: The New Britannia Empire declared war on Japan
The Holy Britannian Empire declared war on Japan
(minor, but I did say all lines of the first minute so might as well point this out too)
極東で中立を謳う島国と唯一の超大国ブリタニア。両者の間には日本の地下資源を巡る根深い外交上の対立があ った
gg: The neutral islands in the far east and the world's only superpower, Britannia. In between them was the epicenter of the deeply rooted diplomatic conflict created by Japan.
The far eastern island nation advocating neutrality and the Britannia Empire, the world's only superpower; between the two a deep-seated diplomatic antagonism over Japan's underground resources.
Or a bit simplified and with changed word order:
There was a deep diplomatic conflict between the neutral far-eastern island country and the world's only superpower, the Britannian Empire, over Japan's underground resources.
gg: During the mainland battle, the Britannian army used the Mobile Humanoid Armor Vehicles, Nightmare Flames, in combat for the first time.
During the mainland battle, the Britannian army deployed their Flexible Armored Humanoid Combat Vehicles, the Knightmare frames, into combat for the first time.
(Mostly my issue here is with Nightmare Flame, when Knightmare is shown multiple times in just this episode, and I'd be willing to bet a large amount of money on it being "frame". The other changes are just how I'd put the line down as on my first pass.)

I waited for the sub on this series, and having watched gg's had somewhat mixed feelings.
Cons include:
-lots of overly dramatic nationalistic editorializing,
-pretty lame colonial overlords (I think the Brits had success in running their colonial empire with a rather less naive/straightforward style of getting their way),
-contains the usual fare of machiavellian princes, slimy generals, researches with questionable ethics and whiny sidekicks.
Spoiler for for episode 1:
I think I'll see a few more episodes to see if the pros manage to make this a win.

Whoa most seeds I've seen on a file in a long time. Even more so than the popular Kanon and Death Note. I certainly didn't expect this amount of support for a mecha show still existed, but it makes me happy people still care about this all but lost genre.

Well, after watching the first subbed ep., It appears to just be another mecha series, and I'm kinda burned out on those. It also hints as anti U.S. (they can call it New Brittainnia if they want to), and since I'm a U.S. citizen, I'm a little offended. I don't think I'll be following this series any further.

wow... the show lived up to my expectations. Im also American, but im also black, so im not going to pretend that the US is not fucked up... so i am not offended... After how many years of oppression and then revolution, yet there is still racism in every corner of a supposedly diverse and liberitanian country. But i digress... i suggest u take some classes on power oppression and prividge. You should also learn to seperate between Art and politics.

Members of the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center's (DLIFLC) Board of Visitors (BoV) convened at the Institute Dec. 11 and 12 to examine the Institute's initiatives on life-long learning that maintains continuity of instruction throughout a linguist's career and beyond.
"The life-long learning model is a cycle that essentially provides support to linguists throughout their professional careers and beyond. From the moment a linguist steps over DLI's threshold, they are linked to this Institute via continuing education, in-person and online instruction, and an alumni outreach program. And even after they leave the military, they can still access online materials," said DLIFLC Commandant, Col. Danial Pick.
Members of the board were briefed on DLIFLC's accreditation status to include two recommendations provided by the Accreditation Commission for Community and Junior Colleges' (ACCJC). The ACCJC is responsible for quality assurance to the public that institutions are meeting specific standards, and that institutions achieve their stated educational mission. Members were also updated on DLIFLC's restructuring efforts, Command Language Program initiatives, and Continuing Education Programs.
"We were pleased to host the Board of Visitors and to have the opportunity to show the Board how flexible and agile we have become given the current climate of fiscal uncertainty and execution of Department of Defense-directed cuts to our budget. We have actually been lucky in the sense that we have been able to restructure and cause minimal impact to the quality of linguists we produce," said Pick. The BoV is comprised of distinguished individuals from academic, business, military, and other professional fields.
The BoV provides DLIFLC leadership with recommendations on matters related to the Institute's mission, academic policies, staff and faculty development, educational and instructional methodology, research, and technological advances in the education field.
The December meeting marked the eleventh DLIFLC BoV meeting. The inaugural meeting was held in December 2007. "The depth and breadth of BoV discussions, deliberations and findings have definitely increased over time" said Dr. Robert Savukinas, DLIFLC associate dean and accreditation officer. "DLIFLC is fortunate to have a very talented, dedicated board whose members graciously serve without compensation," Savukinas explained.
BoV members in attendance were: Dr. Richard Brecht, Chair, Dr. Galal Walker, Co-Chair, Mr. Scott Allen, Dr. Robert Gard, Dr. Ervin Rokke, Dr. James Keagle, and Mr. Craig Wilson. The next BoV meeting is scheduled to take place in the summer.

The Homies 2008 Winners!
Last night we completed our first ever Homies Awards, celebrating the best in home blogging in 2008, and it's my pleasure today to announce
six winners.
It was an impromptu, get the ball rolling kind of affair this year that was meant in the best of spirits to direct attention at the Home Blog niche (because no awards ceremonies do), to award a bit of money ($100) and share as much link love as possible from our sites to others (some of which are bigger than us, some of which are smaller).
I firmly believe that the web works best when there's mutual cooperation, and we've certainly benefited from the help of others…
This year we received about 200 amazing nominations across five categories that showed the richness of the home niche (home technology is still woefully underserved). Some of the winners were surprising and some were expected, but all the races were exciting showed reader's fervor for their favorite sites. Check out the winners!
Congratulations to all, and here's a ton of link love comin' at you:

Want More Jobs? Get Rid Of The Patent Trolls
from the let-innovation-run-free dept
The President is mistaken—at least when it comes to the patent system as it relates to software patents. These patents—and the patent system—aren't creating innovation, they are inhibiting it and, by extension, job creation. Why? Because the breakthroughs aren't in the patents, they are in the way ideas are commercialized and marketed. Because of flaws in the patent system and government leaders' misunderstandings, there is an arms race of sorts happening in the tech industry that is sapping billions out of the economy and crushing technology startups. This system is enriching patent trolls—companies that buy patents in order to extort money from innovators. These trolls are like a modern day mafia. Given this, I argue software patents need to be eliminated or curtailed.Indeed. But we'll never fix the patent system if the government continues to think that patents themselves are the key to innovation, despite the evidence showing that patents simply don't correlate to actual innovation.

After You Preserve A Historic House, What Comes Next?
The argument over the Paul Rudolph house in Westport and whether it should be allowed to be destroyed has an interesting side to it that the New York Times discusses, indirectly, in a story in tomorrow's paper: if you save historic houses, what do you do with them?
Philip Johnson donated the Glass House to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which has yet to open it for tours. Historic New England owns the Gropius House, in Lincoln, Massachusetts, and makes it available for very modest tours at $10 a head. Elsewhere preservation organizations are shutting down or selling houses that are much more typically "historic" because they are expensive to maintain and operate, and because they attract fewer and fewer paying visitors.
Examples: Robert E. Lee's boyhood home, in Virginia; part of Winterthur, a duPont museum, in Delaware; and Montgomery Place, the Livingston family mansion in Annandale, New York, that is owned by Historic Hudson Valley, which the Rockefellers started:
Waddell Stillman, the president of the Hudson group, said he was "just as much a preservationist as anyone" but that he thought "any smart board would consider all the alternatives to declining attendance at a house museum," one of which might be selling it back into private hands….
Simply put, there may be too many antique houses, with too many similarly furnished living rooms; too few docents left to show them off, and too many families taking advantage of cheaper airfares to show their children places like Versailles, where tourism is increasing. "Do you know why people aren't going to most house museums?" asked Alan Neumann, a preservation architect from Rhinecliff, N.Y. "Because they're boring."
It might be more accurate to say that house museums aren't interesting to enough people. But in a world where museums have to pay their own way, that distinction doesn't mean much. If house museums do not have endowments, it is difficult to keep them open – or even keep them.
It's hard not to draw the conclusion from this that the demand among museum goers is far less than the supply of historic house museums, and that the sales represent a market correction: maybe we need fewer historic house museums. Happily, when they are sold to private owners, museum houses get protected by preservation easements (an option that was available to the owner of the Paul Rudolph house, had he been aware of or interested in it). The wealthy people who buy them presumably can afford the upkeep and won't need to sell off house lots from the land the houses come with.
I can think of just three modern houses that are (or will be) open to the public: the Glass House, in New Canaan; the Farnsworth House, in Plano, Illinois; and the Gropius House. The Gropius House was fascinating (to us, in particular, because it had several features that reminded us of our house), but it is an exceedingly modest historic site and it is hard to imagine it having much appeal to anyone but aficionados of modern architecture. Tours of the Gropius House run every hour on the hour, and there were two other people who took it with us – in other words, it was a $40 hour on a Sunday afternoon in November for Historic New England. At a nearby tourist attraction, whose main feature is a house site rather than a house (Walden Pond, that is), the parking lots were full. But maybe for now the demand for tours of modern houses equals the supply, and is enough to pay the bills. Our tour guide told us that of Historic New England's 34 houses, the Gropius House is the most popular.

Difference between revisions of "A weekend in Baku"
Revision as of 05:33, 10 April 2012
The city of Baku is located on the hot and dusty Absheron peninsula. The center of Baku is a patch of green in a largely brown area because of the many liters of water that is piped to the city every day. The city has a metro, a well developed bus and mini bus network, and a large area for walking including the Inner Walled City, The Boluvar, and Fountain Square.
To prepare for Baku; bring some comfortable shoes, western clothes are acceptable for the city, but pants for men and long dresses for women are recommended if you go to more remote regions such as Gobustan. Reading the book Ali and Nino is a good way to get into the mood.
Get in

The USDA estimated today that average yields would be 123.4 bu. per acre, the lowest yield since 1995/1996. A full 49% of our survey respondents predicted that the USDA's forecast would be in the 120s. Twenty-four percent estimated the USDA number would be 130 or more, which was the audience consensus at our recent Corn College event in Coldwater, Mich. A larger percentage, 29%, said the USDA number would be below 120. Click here to see the complete poll results. In the AgWeb poll, the most bullish forecasts came from Colorado, Montana, and several New England states. The most bearish forecasts emanated from Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. Commodities markets may have anticipated an even worse estimate from the USDA. Some private analysts had forecasted a number below 120 bushels per acre. Corn future prices for September and December delivery, which ran up in this week, were down slightly on Friday morning following the announcement. Back to news

It goes without saying that the human brain is complex, and would be hard to build from scratch. But researchers are looking to simulate how the brain works so that more human-like artificial intelligence can be created and we can better understand damage to our own brains.
Chris Eliasmith of the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, led research published in the journal Science on a brain model called SPAUN - the Semantic Pointer Architecture Unified Network.
SPAUN lives inside a computer, can view images with a camera-like eye and can draw responses to questions. For example, show it the number "4" and it will write its own "4." It can even mimic the style of the numeral.
Both in the brain and in SPAUN, neurons communicate by changing their voltages, and the pattern of these voltage "spikes" is what carries information from one cell to another, Eliasmith said. The receiving cell generates a voltage of its own if it receives a particular voltage.
SPAUN has 2.5 million spiking neurons. Neurons are the cells - the individual components - that make up the brain. The human brain has about 100 billion neurons, so there's still a long way to go in terms of replicating its full capacity.
It's hard to compare SPAUN to any existing animal. Monkeys can do more general recognition than what this model does, Eliasmith said. But there are tasks SPAUN does that, until now, it was thought only humans could do.
"It's not as smart as monkeys when it comes to categorization, but it's actually smarter than monkeys when it comes to recognizing syntactic patterns, structured patterns in the input, that monkeys won't recognize," Eliasmith said.
All of SPAUN's tasks involve numbers. For instance, give it the pattern: 1, 11, 111; 3, 33, 333; 4, 44, _____." SPAUN could fill in the blank as 444.
"That's actually part of an intelligence test, realizing that everything is increasing by one," Eliasmith said. "Monkeys actually won't figure that out."
A drawback is that SPAUN cannot operate in real time. For every one second in anonline demonstration video, it takes 2.5 hours. The researchers are hoping to be able to get it to do real-time operations. And SPAUN, as a simulation of actual neurons, is not a robot.
But structuring the artificially intelligent brain like a human brain means that the kinds of errors it makes are the kind of that people make, and its reaction time - how long it takes to "think" about problems - would be similar to humans. This could help with the creation of robots.
"All of that kind of thing will make for the possibility of having agents that are more human-like to interact with," Eliasmith said.
Christian Machens, neuroscientist at the Champalimaud Neuroscience Programme in Lisbon, Portugal, points out in an accompanying piece in Science that SPAUN is not able to learn any new tasks. Its knowledge is entirely hard-wired.
Still, Machens writes that the authors offer a "coherent theory" of the workings of the brain (except for learning). And it sets a new goal for simulations: "to not simply incorporate the largest number of neurons or the greatest amount of detail, but to reproduce the largest amount of functionality and behavior."
This research is also useful for modeling brain damage, Eliasmith said. In separate research, he and colleagues looked at what happens when neurons in a simulation get destroyed at the same rate as in humans as they age.
"We can show that the performance on (an) intelligence task mimics the kind of performance that you see in people; it gets worse in the same sort of proportion that you find in humans," he said.
As for whether we'll have a fully cognizant, self-aware artificial intelligence in our lifetimes, Eliasmith isn't sure, but that is the sort of goal that he and his team are working toward. And they've come up with a novel way of approaching the problem.
"It's hard to know at this point whether this approach is going to hit some wall that we haven't seen yet, or actually be able to reach that holy grail, as it were, of artificial intelligence."

MACON, Ga. (Feb. 28, 2012) – After meeting up just five days ago, the ETSU women's basketball team will face Florida Gulf Coast yet again when the No. 8 Lady Bucs and No. 1 Eagles kick off the General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Women's Basketball Championship on Wednesday afternoon. Tip is set for noon inside Mercer's University Center.
Despite getting a dominate effort from sophomore Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.), the Lady Bucs couldn't spoil FGCU's perfect season last Saturday in Johnson City. Mitchell scored a game-high 23 points and pulled down a career-high 20 rebounds, but the Eagles hung on for the 71-64 win over ETSU.
Following the setback to FGCU and USC Upstate's 81-68 win over Stetson later Saturday evening, the Lady Bucs dropped to the No. 8 seed.
Some may say it's unfortunate the Lady Bucs (8-21) are the No. 8 seed; however, the Blue and Gold had success at this spot the last time they entered a conference tournament as an eighth seed.
In 2005, head coach Karen Kemp's club knocked off top-seeded Chattanooga, 55-50, in the SoCon quarterfinals. In addition, ETSU entered the 1997 SoCon Tournament as the No. 8 seed, and Kemp's team handed No. 1 Furman a 64-62 loss.
With that said, the Lady Bucs are eyeing the same result as they look to join Stetson to be the only No. 8 seeds to defeat a No. 1 in A-Sun Tournament history. The Hatters beat Belmont, 64-61, in 2004.
Since joining the A-Sun in 2005-06, the Lady Bucs are 8-3 all-time in games played inside Mercer's University Center, including claiming one of their three A-Sun Championship titles in March of 2010.
Individually, Mitchell and red-shirt senior guard Tarita Gordon (Wichita, Kan.) have put up impressive numbers inside the UC. Mitchell saves some of her best games for the trip back to her home state. In two career games in Macon (missed the 2011 A-Sun Tournament with a knee injury), the Bluffton, Ga. native is averaging 26 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists, while shooting 58.3 percent (21-36) inside the UC. This season, Mitchell went off for a career-high 30 points on 12-of-15 shooting – including a stretch of netting nine consecutive field goals in a 19-plus minute stretch in the second half against Mercer back on Feb. 2. Last season, Mitchell finished with 22 points, 12 rebounds, and three assists in the win over the Lady Bears.
Meanwhile, the last time Gordon participated in an A-Sun Tournament, she was taking home All-Tournament Team honors after averaging 14.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 31.3 minutes of play as the Lady Bucs cut down the nets for a third straight year in 2010. Like Mitchell, Gordon has also put up some strong numbers in five career games inside Mercer's University Center, as she's averaging 13 points, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 steals per game.
Should ETSU want to survive and advance to the conference semifinals for a sixth straight year, the Lady Bucs will have do something no A-Sun team was able to do in the regular season – hand FGCU a loss.
The Eagles finished their perfect 18-0 season on Saturday en route to going 26-2 overall. FGCU – who enters the tournament with 18 straight wins – hasn't lost since Dec. 28.
FGCU is led by First Team All-Atlantic Sun selection Sarah Hansen and Second Team All-Conference pick Kelsey Jacobson. Hansen is coming off a 20-point, 12-rebound effort against the Lady Bucs on Saturday and is averaging 13.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, while Jacobson is posting 10.3 points per contest and has netted 75 of the Eagles' 304 threes made this year.
As a team, FGCU leads the country with 10.9 made threes per game, while the Eagles are fourth overall in turnover margin at 7.07.
The Eagles lead the all-time series, 7-2, and have won the last five against ETSU including the seven-point victory on Saturday. The last time the Lady Bucs defeated FGCU was an 88-83 win back on Jan. 16, 2010. Mitchell is averaging 16 points and 13.3 rebounds, while shooting 62 percent (21-34) in three career games versus FGCU, while Gordon has averaged 12 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in four career matchups with the Eagles.
The winner of Wednesday's game will face the winner of No. 4 UNF/No. 5 Kennesaw State on Friday at noon.
Fans unable to make the trip to Macon can listen to all the action on WXSM-AM 640 The Extreme Sports Monster as "Voice of the Lady Bucs" John Stevens will carry the play-by-play. Meanwhile, Wednesday's game will also be broadcast on ESPN3 with Paul Crane in charge of play-by-play and Dee Romine handling the color. Live stats will also be available via MercerBears.com.

The French Broad Metropolitan Planning Organization, which oversees regional transportation planning, held a meeting Wednesday to get public input on plans to widen Interstate 26 and other road improvements in Henderson County. So you would think they held the meeting in Hendersonville, right?
The French Broad Metropolitan Planning Organization, which oversees regional transportation planning, held a meeting Wednesday to get public input on plans to widen Interstate 26 and other road improvements in Henderson County. So you would think they held the meeting in Hendersonville, right?
No, the MPO held a �public input session� on the long-awaited I-26 widening and other projects in Asheville�s Pack Memorial Library. The fact that planners held the meeting more than 25 miles from Hendersonville, and convened it from 4 to 6 p.m. when many folks are working, begs the question as to just how much public input they really wanted.
The purpose of the meeting was to allow people to comment on amendments to the N.C. Department of Transportation�s Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP), including one that makes widening I-26 the highest priority among projects slated for Henderson County.
Other high-priority projects identified in the plan include building a four-lane expressway called the Balfour Parkway from N.C. Highway 191 to U.S. Highway 64, widening Howard Gap Road to four lanes from Upward Road to U.S. Highway 25, and constructing a three-lane connector on White Street from U.S. Highway 25 Business to Kanuga Road.
Even though widening I-26 is considered the top priority among local road needs, construction is not scheduled to start on the project until 2020.
But at least there is a schedule, a big improvement from a decade ago when an earlier version of the project was scuttled after a lawsuit by environmental groups. DOT had to go back to the drawing board after a federal judge found the agency had wrongly planned to start widening I-26 to six lanes in Henderson County without fully considering all the impacts of the inevitable need to widen the interstate all the way to Interstate 40 in Asheville.
Now, at long last, DOT officials are moving � slowly � toward widening all 22.6 miles from Upward Road to I-40. This is how the project should have been planned in the first place since the original plan to proceed with six lanes in Henderson County would have created a bottleneck in Southern Buncombe County. As anyone who travels I-26 knows, the section north (west) of N.C. 280 is already prone to ugly traffic jams that sometimes stretch for miles.
There are many reasons for this section frequently becoming a slow-rolling parking lot, including ramps that are too short and bridges that are too narrow. But the main reason is traffic that frequently is too heavy for a four-lane highway, resulting in what DOT calls an �F� level of service during peak travel times. Traffic volume now averages almost 72,000 vehicles per day and is projected to increase to 90,500 vehicles per day by 2040.
To its credit, the last time DOT held a meeting on plans for I-26 back in January, that meeting was held at the WNC Agricultural Center in Fletcher. It�s great that the MPO has decided to make widening I-26 a top priority. If it truly wants to get input from Henderson County residents at future meetings, though, it should hold those meetings in Henderson County.

High on the Techno and Rock, sounds like Gorillaz
Anyone have suggestions for a band that sounds like Gorillaz, just with more rock and less latin and rap? What I'm basically asking for is a group that has high levels of techno and rock; power trio rock is okay, but a keyboardist is better, since that'll allow for more techno.
I'd also prefer for the band to consistently have the same members, and have the same people making the music every time; in other words, not a band where you have two guys who do some music, then a different set of mostly uncredited music makers for every song. I want the true artists to be the face of the band.

It sounds like this.
So Rob fails to complete the Roadblock as fast as Uchenna. Remember Rob couldn't eat the meat and Uchenna did.Amber on the letter sorting would have saved this team. QuoteWill do but LOST is coming on! I'll be back Chateau Works for me!

I just realized that there is no reason that they have to be paired in the boats.So, farming for drama here, I bet Charla & Mirna are in the last boat all alone. Teri & Ian arrived at some earlier time and have already gone to Isla Redonda. There is only 20 min separating them from slow Rob. He chokes the letter sorting and Mirna gets it done first. Footrace. Or not. Just he knows they lost so they walk in a dilatory fashion, hand in hand, to the mat.
So the ferry pairs have to be one of these three:Case 1 T&I picks #3E&D + ChasT&I + BQsGuido + C&MRomber + U&JCase 2 T&I picks #5 or 6E&D + ChasGuido + BQsC&M + T&IRomber + U&JCase 3 T&I picks #7 or 8E&D + ChasGuido + BQsRomber + U&JC&M + T&II suspect it is case 1 or 2 since we be fairly sure Romber is in the last boat.Also, E&D are in the first boat every time. They are my pick the leg's winners.
I wonder if Eric will recognize the Italian flag this time.

I truly honestly cannot believe they are being eliminated this Sunday. What a shame. They were good racers.
It looks like D/O in that cap still have the giant PA street map with them; they must have done well and gotten an early connection/charter seats/etc.
I'm reasonably certain that D/O alone, holding the map, is at PA. But my hunch is that D/O with Joyce is at PM (El Tepual airport); I haven't found any good photos of the inside, but note the sloping roof here.

SPRINGFIELD (AP) – Even though Gov. Pat Quinn just rejected two similar plans to expand gambling in Illinois, lawmakers tried Wednesday to revive their efforts as a measure to add five casinos and slot machines at Chicago's two major airports sailed through a Senate committee hearing.
This time lawmakers are promoting their measure as a money generator for public schools, perhaps in an attempt to get approval from Quinn, who two hours before the committee hearing announced $400 million in education cuts and hinted at possibly backing gambling legislation to offset the cuts.
The proposal – which could come up for a full Senate vote as early as Thursday – would authorize casinos in Chicago, Rockford, Danville, Chicago's south suburbs and Lake County. It would also allow current and future casino licensees to apply for an online gambling license.
The sponsor of the measure, Sen. Terry Link, a Democrat, said the gambling expansion from brick-and-mortar casinos could generate between $400 million and $1 billion for the state. The bulk of the money would be allocated to the state's Education Assistance Fund, after the local communities receive a share of the profits.
The bill also would authorize 1,200 new slot machines in Cook County and another 900 outside that county. The operator of a Chicago casino also would be eligible to apply for up to 4,000 slot machines to be located at Midway and O'Hare international airports.
The first $50 million generated from application and licensing fees, as well as the per-slot machine fee that operators must pay, would go to the Illinois Gaming Board. The remainder would be used to cover part of the state's staggering unpaid bills that amount currently amount to $9 billion.
Quinn has long opposed gambling expansions, arguing that the bills the Legislature passed did not include strong ethical protections. But during his budget address Wednesday, Quinn listed the expansion plans as an example to break the state's financial "gridlock."
"Of course, gaming expansion has to be done right. It must have tough ethical standards, a campaign contribution ban on casino operators, and no loopholes for mobsters," Quinn told lawmakers.
Earlier this week, Quinn vetoed a 2011 attempted by lawmakers to expand gambling in the state. The proposal would have added five new casinos and more slot machines, and proponents said it would have brought in an estimated $1.6 billion. The bill didn't go to Quinn's desk until the end of session in January. Last year he vetoed another gambling expansion plan that also called for five new casinos, including one in Chicago. He said it needed a ban on political contributions from the gambling industry.
The measure that the Senate Executive Committee voted on following Quinn's speech closes the door on political contributions from gambling licensees. The measure prohibits them from giving money to various officeholders and candidates, including the governor and members of the General Assembly.
The proposal also would authorize casino licensees to operate Internet gambling. Online gambling would allow people in Illinois to play table games such as poker and black jack over the Internet, but sports betting wouldn't be authorized. Online profits would be split, with $10 million going toward treatment programs for problem gamblers, $5 million to the State Fairgrounds and the remainder to the state's public pension systems.
Illinois' pension problem is the worst in the nation, with nearly $100 billion in unfunded liability.
Opponents of the measure Wednesday argued online gambling would encourage betting by underage people. Others opposing the bill said it would saturate the market.
The bill is SB1739.

Fast Forward
The other night I was watching the classic, Annie, with my husband.
Sidenote: Yes, I made my husband watch Annie. I felt it was important for him to see this movie that I watched many, many times as a child.
Anyway, to make it a little less painful for him, I told him we could watch my "edited" version in which I fast forward through all the parts I don't like. This appalled him.
The thing is, I've spent most of my movie-watching years fast forwarding through the parts of movies that I don't like. Sometimes there just isn't enough time to watch the entire film. Or sometimes there are some just plain boring parts that I don't want to waste my time on. Once you've seen a movie enough times, it's easy to find some fast forward moments.
So I thought I'd compile a list of my top fast forward moments from some of my favorite movies:
1. The Sound of Music. To be honest, I fast forward through a lot of this movie. Basically any scene without Maria is a good candidate for some fast forwarding. Also, pretty much anything after Maria and The Captian return from their honeymoon.
2. Summer Stock. That terrible dog song at the very end. Also the Howdy Neighbor reprise with those truly awful outfits.
3. Easter Parade. That scene when Judy and Peter Lawford are in the restaurant and the waiter goes into way too much detail about their salad. It literally takes 10 minutes. Fast forward.
4. My Fair Lady. This is probably my least fast forwarded movie, but I've never been a big fan of the part when they go to the embassy ball. It's just a bunch of rich people dancing for like 10 minutes. I also don't usually watch the parts with Eliza's father. They're silly, but not that great. I have more important things to do.
5. Mary Poppins. Anything before Mary shows up is subject to skipping. Also when the dad brings the kids to the bank and they sing that dumb song. Actually, it's possible that the taped-off-TV version I had as a child cut out that song, so now I just don't see a point in it.
6. The King and I. This goes without saying, but the Uncle Tom's Cabin part. I don't know that I've ever watched more than 30 seconds of it and it literally goes on for 20 minutes. And this leads me to ...
7. Oklahoma. What's with the super weird, long ballet/interpretive dance in the middle of the movie? Fast forward.
8. Singin' in the Rain. My favorite part of this movie, when Cyd Charisse shows up in her green dress, is followed by my least favorite part: when the dance sequence goes on for an hour and a half!!
9. The Parent Trap. Any parts involving camp or camping.
10. The Music Man. One word: Shipoopi.
Truthfully, my list could go on and on. Am I the only one who likes to fast forward? I doubt it.
What do you fast forward?

Oct. 24, 2007
NORTON, Mass. - Two second-half goals by Ashley Miller lifted Wheaton College to a 4-2 win over MIT on Tuesday in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) field hockey action. The Lyons capped the regular season with a 12-5 record and a 6-2 conference mark while the Engineers' ledger moved to 4-12 on the year and 1-7 in the NEWMAC.
MIT opened the scoring after 5:14 elapsed on a blast by Jessica Oleinik that was set up by Lauren McCarthy. Wheaton tallied the equalizer with 3:27 remaining before halftime, as Lyndsie Ryalls sent a shot on the MIT net that trickled past netminder Alexa Herman and several defenders trying to make a goal-line stop.
Miller's penalty stroke to the bottom right corner of the net put the Lyons ahead, 2-1, in the 44th minute. After a shot by Sara Dimick was saved by Herman, Miller picked up the rebound and found the right corner at the 60:24 mark. Dimick notched Wheaton's final goal with 7:09 remaining when she one-timed Alex Block's pass. The Engineers continued to attack, finding success with 29 seconds left. Oleinik posted her 11th tally of the season by converting a cross from Cristina Stefanescu.
Cameron Abel did not make a save in earning her 12th win of the year for Wheaton. Herman collected 11 saves for the Engineers.
Next up for MIT will be a NEWMAC Championship Tournament quarterfinal game on Saturday, Oct. 27 at 1:00 p.m. at top-seeded Babson College.

Well, that wasn't a particularly good outing, but I have to imagine that at the end of the season when we're looking over times when we could have expected more out of the Maple Leafs, we won't be pointing at this recent road trip. The Maple Leafs took two of three games, and you can blame the West Coast game, or the long ceremony, or whatever, but in the end the effort the Leafs showed against the Vancouver Canucks was inexcusable. Both teams played in the same conditions on the same rink.
Remember, the last time the Maple Leafs laid an egg on national television on a Saturday night, Toronto came back and won
three straight four out of five. The sun will rise in the East tomorrow, the sky is still up in the sky, and the Leafs are still 10-5. While the game was disappointing on a number of levels, probably the only real regrettable thing is that the Leafs may have lost David Bolland for a significant amount of time on an unfortunate hit in the corner.
The final was 4-0 for Vancouver, despite James Reimer's best efforts.
The game started with perhaps the lone positive sequence for the Maple Leafs. After the Canucks managed to get a two-on-one, James Reimer made consecutive, highlight-reel saves off of Mike Santorelli, Chris Higgins and Alex Burrows in a seven second sequence:
But that may have been it. That third stop on Burrows was particularly flashy. It looked like Burrows had the whole net to shoot at, and he's generally been good in his career at burying chances like those. Reimer never quit on the play and made the save right on the goal-line.
The referees had to review the play, but I have to imagine that was just Wes McCauley and Frederick L'Ecuyer telling the war room "you gotta check out this stop".
But yeah, that was pretty much it. Nazem Kadri took a pretty light penalty on Ryan Kesler, and the Canucks scored eight seconds into the powerplay. In the first period, the Canucks out-shot the Leafs 18-11 but held just the 1-0 lead after one, and this appeared to be a game, like we've seen many times before, where the Leafs would overcome a slim deficit and take over in the final 40. Not so.
The most regrettable sequence came in the second period. Zack Kassian steered David Bolland into the corner and in the process, inadvertedly stepped on Bolland's ankle. With Bolland on the ice and unable to move, Kassian wound up scoring on the play. Bolland left the game and didn't return, and the update we had was that he was out with a leg laceration, which is not very fun. UPDATE – He'll have immediate surgery in Vancouver. That's an injury that can put a player out anywhere from multiple weeks to multiple months, and with Tyler Bozak out, Toronto doesn't exactly have a lot of centre depth to compensate.
The Canucks scored again, this time it was Higgins on a two-on-one, but the real story of the second period was chippy play and cheap hits from both sides. Frazer McLaren took six minutes in minor penalties, Phil Kessel took a minor for unsportsmanlike conduct and Colton Orr had a remarkably useless fight against Vancouver's soup can Tom Sestito.
The third was more of the same. Dumb penalties, and the Canucks just wore the Leafs down with puck-possession. After out-shooting Toronto 18-11 in the first period, Vancouver had 29 shots in the final two periods to 10. Reimer's performance is the only reason this game was even close, and despite allowing 4 goals, Reimer got a "quality start" on the night.
Argh. Penalties. Even though the PK was effective, holding the Canucks to one powerplay goal on 11:58 of 5-on-4 time and held the Canucks scoreless on a 2-minute long 5-on-3, the penalties really hamper a team's ability to generate some offence. In the sequences where it looked like Toronto had something, Roberto Luongo stood tall for the Canucks. Luongo made two wonderful saves off of Phil Kessel from tight areas, and another one James van Riemsdyk from close in. I think he had a hand in keeping the Canucks ahead, particularly towards the end of the second when the Leafs mounted their only sustained possession on the night.
But the whole team came unglued, we can all agree? Kessel fought Burrows in the first period, stupidly, and despite Brian Burke's poetic editorial in the USA Today talking about how enforcers hold the rats like Kassian in the league accountable, none of that response was evident. Orr fought a soup can, and McLaren couldn't have been more useless in the second period had he tried.
Poor Reims. Stopped 43 shots, and his reward is his first loss of the season and a 4.00 goals against average.
- Toronto can't keep playing like this, but it's not like they've been outshot 47-21 in every game this season. The 26-shot spread was the biggest on the season, which I guess is a positive? Like, this is as bad as it can get?
- Kessel had five shots on goal. After taking a pass from behind the net and shooting it right at Luongo's crest (it didn't look like he got all of it) he looked furious and was about to slam his stick into the post before he held back. At least nobody will be able to question his intensity in this game, but I always prefer more shots on goal to poorly-channeled anger.
- The only other Leaf with more than two shots on goal was David Clarkson.
- It's just one game. If you were of the opinion that the Maple Leafs were a playoff team before this game, a single observation shouldn't change that assessment.

Anthropolgie Screening of Man Shops Globe
Last night we attended the Chicago launch of Sundance channel's new Man Shops Globe, a documentary-style show profiling Anthropolgie's buyer-at-large/world shopper, Keith Johnson, on his sojourns abroad. We took a few snapshots in the Chicago store, but the show really digs deep into Keith's finds and beautiful objects…
After a lot of store roaming and visual, antique-y stimulation that one can expect from Anthropologie, all guests turned to the first episode of Man Shops Globe. Set in France, we watched Keith and his crew at flea markets searching for everything from creamers to chairs, lamenting an ongoing buyers' frustration: "It's beautiful, but expensive." Through a lot of bargaining, haggling, hoping and searching, Keith didn't find the BIG pieces he wanted at the Paris markets, so we then followed the quest on to Provence.
The behind-the-scenes glimpse at a buyer's life also showed various roles within the group, both in the planning and execution of the hunt. Everyone's got their eyes set on particular goals, and there's someone with a tape measure right alongside someone quickly evaluating whether or not an old piece is salvageable. Our favorite part was learning how Keith's early, quiet discovery of a painter (he bought one of her pieces in her mother's shop, then the commissions kept coming) allowed her career to really take off.

The number of sexually active years one has left -- "sexually active life expectancy" -- may be influenced by health and gender, according to a study published in BMJ.
By age 55, men have an average sexual life expectancy of 15 more years while women can expect 10 more years of activity, said study authors Dr. Stacy Tessler Lindau and Dr. Natalia Gavrilova of the University of Chicago. However, although men have an increased desire, poor health is more detrimental to their sexuality than it is for women.
"Widowhood at older ages is the main driving force of lower sexually active life expectancy among women because women live longer than men and most of them have older husbands," said Gavrilova an expert on human longevity at the U of C's Center on Aging.
Older women, however, may welcome fewer years of sex. They're less interested in it than older men, even if they have a partner, according to the study. Among those age 55 and older, just 21 percent of women demonstrated interest in sex, compared to 62 percent among men.
"The fact that many women outlive their spouses and partners is definitely a more important reality for them than the loss of some sexually active years," said Gavrilova.
The researchers found that healthy people were twice as likely to be interested in sex and have more of it than those in poorer health. Men were more likely than women to be sexually active, report a good quality sex life, and be interested in sex, a gender gap that widens with age. The starkest difference was among 75 to 85 year olds. In this group, about 40 percent of the men were sexually active, compared with 17 percent of women.
About half of sexually active older women report a poor quality sex life but "the [sexual life expectancy] measure sheds no light on the intriguing -- and poorly understood -- question of why, even though they enjoy fewer years of a sexually active life, many women do not perceive this as a problem," wrote Patricia Goodson of Texas A & M in an accompanying editorial called "Sexual activity in middle to later life."
Still, it's not clear whether good sex promotes good health, or vice versa because the study used cross sectional data which measures data at one point in time. The researchers hope to follow up with longitudinal studies, which collect data on people at two or more time points and ideally analyzes the change.
Another limitation: The study relied on heterosexual men and women to accurately estimate the frequency and quality of their sex life.
