Letang Returns to the Ice Tonightby Sam Kasan / Pittsburgh Penguins
Defenseman Kris Letang, 26, will return to the lineup Wednesday night when the Penguins hosts the Detroit Red Wings at CONSOL Energy Center 10 weeks after suffering a stroke.
"When I heard I had (a stroke) my first reaction was when would I skate again and play again?" Letang said. "I always wanted to come back."
Letang, 26, was cleared to participate in full contact practice by doctors on March 17 and has worked the past three weeks with the team. Doctors cleared Letang to return to the ice, but the decision was left to him on when he felt comfortable to play.
"Kris has been bugging me for a little while for a return to play," general manager Ray Shero said. "He feels good on and off the ice so he'll be back this evening."
"It was a decision between myself and (Shero)," Letang said. "We've been chatting for the last few weeks. Relief and really happy to have a chance to play."
Doctors have determined that hockey did not cause Letang's stroke. Therefore he is at no further risk by playing.
"Hockey did not cause this stroke. Returning to play will not cause a stroke," Shero said. "Playing tonight versus waiting until October or 10 years from now will not change that. Resting and playing Xbox is not going to make him better. … He's at no greater risk to suffer a stroke (from playing hockey) than he would be going to the grocery store."
That fact reassured Letang that he was making the right decision to play again.
"Being cleared by the doctors was the first sign that I would be all right playing hockey," Letang said. "Right from the start they told me it's something that can happen whenever. Sitting around, walking around. I'm not scared to go out there and play.
"I'm nervous because it's been a long time since I've played. About my situation, not at all."
Letang has no hesitation to play hockey again, but his family needed a little more convincing.
"They're scared, but at the end of the day we made sure with the doctors that I wasn't running a risk going out there," Letang said. "My family is scared, but I had to make sure they understand the situation. I had some doctors talk to my family to reassure them."
The nature of Letang's injury, a stroke for a young and well-conditioned athlete, has caused the team to be cautious in handling the situation.
"I've gone through other injuries with him, but this is quite different," Shero said. "It really shakes you and him. Having a family we want to do what's best for the player. You don't take these decisions lightly.
"Whatever Kris decided we fully supported. He would like to return to play. If it was up to Kris he would have been back before this."
Letang suffered a stroke on Jan. 29 and received blood thinners for the following six weeks. On March 17 he was taken off the blood thinners and returned to full contact practice with the team. Letang has practiced for the past 23 days with the team.
On Tuesday Letang was named the team's nominee for the Bill Masterton Trophy as selected by the Pittsburgh chapter of Professional Hockey Writers' Association for his perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to the game of hockey.

Such infants are sometimes referred to as "anchor babies," because their immediate and automatic citizenship is the "anchor" on which a host of other claims, from welfare to the citizenship of others, can be made.
On the face of it, this sounds patently absurd. How can a newborn baby be eligible for citizenship when his or her parents are not? Not merely eligible, mind you, but granted it automatically?
Many of us have grandparents or great-grandparents who overcame incredible obstacles to become citizens of this country. Before they were accepted they had to pass a rigorous and demanding test. The questions they were asked, and their answers, had to be in English.
As an essential part of the process, every immigrant was required to renounce allegiance to the country he or she had left and to swear allegiance to his newly adopted home — the United States of America. And every new citizen was thrilled to do so.
There was a solemn ceremony, often conducted by a judge sitting high on a bench above them, issuing the oath of allegiance. Friends and family welcomed the new citizens with hugs and tears and enthusiastic applause.
That is what citizenship for an immigrant used to mean. But today we are required to bestow it on anyone whose mother can sneak across our border a few hours before her baby is born. That is absolutely insane.
The new citizen is immediately entitled to all the benefits that accompany citizenship — schooling, medical care, food stamps, and other welfare and a whole host of "public assistance." Moreover, that new citizen is now entitled to invite other family members — mother and father, aunts and uncles, cousins and grandparents, nephews and nieces — to come visit them in their newly adopted country and even apply for citizenship here.
How did such utter craziness come to be accepted as the law of the land? Well, the first thing you need to know is that there is no such law.
If you ask how automatic citizenship for babies born to illegal immigrants came about you'll be told that the 14th Amendment requires it. This is a flat-out lie. But it's a lie that's been promoted by those who want to overturn the established laws and customs of our country. It's a lie that the highest officials in this country — from the White House on down — pretend is true.
Let me share some important history with you. The 14th Amendment was proposed by Congress at the end of the Civil War. Its purpose was to make sure that newly enfranchised blacks were not denied the rights of citizenship when they returned to their homes in states that comprised the former Confederacy.
Sadly, the 14th Amendment is worded so vaguely that an activist court — spurred on by politically motivated attorneys — can interpret it almost any way it chooses. Here's the relevant section:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
But what does "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" mean? If you do a little research on the topic you'll discover that this amendment was most emphatically not meant to include the children of aliens — even if their parents were in this country legally. Lawmakers assumed that since their parents were subject to the jurisdiction of the country where they were citizens — that is, their native country — so were their offspring, no matter where they were born.
Ah, but if you do a little more research, you'll discover a secret that's been kept out of our history books for more than 100 years. There are compelling reasons to believe that the 14th Amendment was never legally adopted by a sufficient number of states to make it a valid part of our Constitution. This is why the second part of this column is called "the Illegal 14th."
First we begin with the fact that the Union position during the Civil War was that the Southern states had never left the Union. Oh, I'll admit that the South tried to secede. We fought a terrible war over the issue. But Abraham Lincoln refused to recognize the Confederacy as a separate, legitimate government. Instead, he fought the war to keep the Confederacy from seceding. When the North won, Lincoln was ready to welcome the South back "with malice toward none."
But if the Southern states never left the Union, then as soon as hostilities ended, those states and their citizens were entitled to all of the promises and protections of the U.S. Constitution. With me so far?
In the aftermath of the war all of the states that had comprised the Confederacy reformed their state governments, including both branches of their legislatures. (Remember, the Constitution guarantees every state "a republican form of government.")
When the Federal Congress approved the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery, and submitted it to the states, it was promptly ratified by most of the states in the former Confederacy and became part of our Constitution.
But this was not enough for the Radical Republicans (as they were called then) who controlled Congress. They wanted to punish the South. Even more important, they didn't want the Southern states sending people to Congress who would oppose their plans for Reconstruction. So they proposed the 14th Amendment.
I can find no evidence that the 14th Amendment was ever approved by a two-thirds majority of the House and the Senate as the Constitution requires. In fact, there were plenty of contemporaries back in 1878 who said it was not. Nevertheless, the Radical Republican majority approved a resolution saying it had passed and submitted it to the states.
Six states that had approved the 13th Amendment balked at approving the 14th. The legislatures of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina and South Carolina said "no!" (So, incidentally, did New Jersey and Ohio.)
The Radicals in Washington were furious. They promptly approved a series of bills, called the Reconstruction Acts, that divided the former Confederacy into 10 military districts. The legislatures of each state were ordered dismissed "by force of arms" and were replaced by political hacks appointed by the Federal army of occupation. Seven of these military-controlled bodies then did as they were told and "ratified" the 14th Amendment.
These "rump" governments were a far cry from "the republican form of government" that the Constitution guaranteed each state. Our Founding Fathers would have been aghast at what was done in the aftermath of that very un-civil war. And they wouldn't have agreed for a second that any "vote" by these so-called legislatures could authorize a change to the Constitution.
But change it they did. When news of these coercive measures reached Washington, Secretary of State William Seward at first refused to ratify the amendment. He was quickly brought into line by the Radical Republicans in Congress however, and on July 20, 1868, he dutifully proclaimed that the 14th Amendment was now part of our Constitution.
And here's something you probably never considered: The effects of this nefarious bit of legislative chicanery go far beyond citizenship for a few million children of illegal immigrants.
Bet you didn't know that the 14th Amendment has been used by the Supreme Court as the legal justification for banning prayer in public schools … or authorizing abortion on demand… for requiring the forced busing of children … or scores of other usurpations of power by our central government.
If you've stayed with me this far I'm sure you're saying to yourself, "Can this possibly be true? And if it is, how is it possible that the legality of the 14th Amendment has never been challenged in the courts?"
My answer to the first question is, "Yes, I believe it is true. The 14th Amendment was never legally ratified."
My answer to the second is, "I don't know." I have not been able to find any record that any federal court has ever issued a ruling on the adoption of "the illegal 14th." I can't even find evidence of the issue being raised in a lawsuit filed in a federal court.
I can understand why those who benefit from today's Goliath Government want to keep this issue swept under the heaviest rug they can find. But where have the conservative and libertarian talk shows, think tanks, advocacy groups, and tax-free foundations been for the past 50 years? Have any of them raised this issue? Written articles about it? Made even a peep of protest?
If they have, I'm not familiar with it. If you know otherwise pass share that information by leaving a comment below, because I really would like to know.
And so should every American who's concerned about the future of his country.
Until next time, keep some powder dry.

Freshman Courtney Brown tallied a goal on Saturday against Davidson.
The Liberty lacrosse team concluded its regular season road schedule with a 16-3 setback against Big South Conference leader Davidson on a rainy Saturday afternoon at Richardson Stadium.
Today's setback drops Liberty's record to 2-13 overall and 1-4 in Big South contests. Davidson wins its program record eighth consecutive contest to improve to 9-5 on the season and 5-0 in league play.
The Lady Flames jumped on the scoreboard first with just under three minutes elapsed in the opening stanza. Kallie Britton whipped a pass to a slicing Michaela Rich in front of the cage. The freshman received the pass and in one motion fired it into the goal, giving Liberty an early 1-0 advantage.
Davidson answered with a four-goal run to take a 4-1 advantage with 23:18 showing on the first half game clock. Four different Wildcats found the back of the net for the home team during the scoring run.
Liberty tallied its second goal of the game at the 10:17 mark. Morgan Becker looped around the back of the net and delivered the ball to Nina Dunay just outside of the goal crease. Dunay cradled the pass, spun away from the defense and bounced a shot in between the pipes for her 19th goal of the season.
The Lady Flames' defense held strong through the middle part of the first half, keeping the home team off of the scoreboard for over 18 minutes of play.
The Wildcats ended their scoring drought with four more goals in the final 4:53 of the opening half. Leading scorer Emma Sissman tallied her second and third markers of the half, giving Davidson an 8-2 lead heading into the intermission.
Davidson scored the first three goals of the final stanza, extending its lead to 11-2 with 11:23 elapsed on the second half game clock.
Courtney Brown put the Lady Flames in the scoring column for the third time with her ninth goal of the season. Kelly Belue assisted on the play as Liberty pulled to within 11-3 with 16:17 remaining in the contest.
The Wildcats notched the final five goals of the game en route to the 16-3 victory.
For the contest, Davidson held the edge in shots, 35-8, ground balls, 20-17, draw controls and caused turnovers, 7-5. The Wildcat's Fucigna scored a game-high five goals, while Emily Cooke posted five assists to lead both squads. Liberty's Jen Moyer scooped up a contest-best four ground balls. Davidson's Paige Logan and Emily Rademacher each corralled six draw controls to lead both teams.
Becker snagged one draw control in the contest giving her 55 draws for the season, setting a new Liberty single-season record. Becker's total eclipses the old mark of 54, which was set in the 2012 season by Kacie Fogle.
In goal, Liberty's Kristen Masullo tallied eight saves, while Davidson's Katy Boyle stopped four shots in the win.
Liberty returns home next weekend for a pair of Big South contests. The Lady Flames host Winthrop on Friday at 6 p.m., before welcoming Longwood on April 27 at 1 p.m. Prior to the game against the Lancers, Liberty will honor its four seniors, Nina Dunay, Jillian Krick, Kristen Masullo and Jen Moyer, as part of Senior Day activities.

More than 1 in 3 people in the UK will get cancer during their lives. Everyone has a certain risk of developing cancer. A combination of genes, lifestyle and environment can affect this risk.
Most of the time we don't know exactly what causes a particular cancer. But we do know some of the risk factors for that cancer. Risk factors are things that can make you more likely to develop cancer. They include being older, smoking and being overweight.
Having a particular risk factor doesn't mean you will definitely get cancer. Some risk factors only slightly increase the risk of developing cancer.
Usually, cancer is due to a combination of several risk factors. But some risk factors are more likely to cause cancer than others. Smoking is a good example of this. Smoking will greatly increase your risk of getting lung cancer. About 9 out of 10 people who develop lung cancer are smokers. But not everyone who smokes will develop lung cancer.
For most people, increasing age is the biggest risk factor for developing cancer. In general, people over 65 are more likely to develop cancer than younger people (those under 50).
Cancer is very common and most of us have relatives who have had cancer. People often worry that a history of cancer in their family greatly increases their risk of developing it. But fewer than 1 in 10 cancers are associated with a strong family history of cancer.

Ever since Stephen Sondheim reached the four-score mark three years ago, the spotlight has shifted from his work to the legend himself. There have been birthday galas, musical tributes, interviews galore and books in which the master reveals the secrets of his songwriting sorcery.
Now there's "Six by Sondheim," an HBO documentary airing Monday that's directed by Sondheim's frequent collaborator James Lapine, the librettist and director without whom there'd be no "Sunday in the Park With George," "Into the Woods" or "Passion."
The film, which has a limited engagement at Pasadena's Laemmle Playhouse 7 starting Friday, doesn't fill in any major gaps in our knowledge of the relationship between Sondheim's life and art. But it does stylishly retread this fascinating ground with a rising emotional thrum that renders absurd the notion that Sondheim is all neurotic cleverness and no heart.
With so much golden musical material, an organizing structure is needed, and Lapine, who conceived and directed the 2010 Broadway salute "Sondheim on Sondheim," finds one in six classic songs: "Something's Coming" ("West Side Story"), "Opening Doors" ("Merrily We Roll Along"), "Send in the Clowns" ("A Little Night Music"), "I'm Still Here" ("Follies"), "Being Alive" ("Company") and "Sunday" ("Sunday in the Park With George").
Weaving Sondheim history and personal refection in and around these numbers, "Six by Sondheim" proceeds as though piecing together a jigsaw puzzle portrait of the man who redefined the American musical in the second half of the 20th century.
By splicing interviews of the eager twentysomething lyricist-composer with the restless (and somewhat prickly) mid-career explorer and the grizzled elder statesman, the film provides a guided tour of Sondheim's artistic consciousness along with his changing hairstyles and beards.
Few artists are as articulate about their own creative process. But what's most striking in this retelling is the emotional debt Sondheim acknowledges to Oscar Hammerstein II, his surrogate father.
Sondheim considers Hammerstein an "experimental playwright" and vigorously defends him against those who refuse to see just how far he extended the boundaries of the Broadway musical. His entire generation, he asserts, was instructed by Hammerstein's mastery of resonant simplicity, the art of conveying complex feelings in honest and direct language and imagery.
Although their styles are markedly different, Sondheim credits Hammerstein with instilling in him the value of writing for oneself and not for commercial gain. But it's the personal relationship that causes Sondheim to well up.
As a young man caught in the crossfire of his parents' nasty divorce, Sondheim found sanctuary in the Hammerstein household. Looking back as an older man, he speculates that he might not be alive were it not for Hammerstein's benevolent interest in him. No one taught him more about the life-changing impact of teaching, which he calls "the sacred profession."
Shooting down canards is one of Sondheim's great hobbies, and a great number of clips are devoted to him dismantling false assumptions about his work. Of course his music doesn't need to be defended against charges that it lacks a heart or isn't sufficiently hummable. All it needs is to be listened to.
Tantalizing archival footage of Ethel Merman in "Gypsy" and Bernadette Peters in "Sunday in the Park With George" reminds us of just how many superstar careers have fatefully intersected with Sondheim's. He refers to himself as a Broadway baby and his theatrical legacy is inseparable from all those performers whose legends were sealed in his shows.
Showstoppers are traced back to the singers who inspired them. "I'm Still Here" borrowed from the roller-coaster life of Joan Crawford to give Yvonne De Carlo a number worthy of her celebrity. The short line phrases of "Send in the Clowns" was designed to accommodate Glynis Johns' breathy vocal style, though a delightful YouTube montage of this unexpected Sondheim hit demonstrates just how flexible this lyrically baffling number can be.
A sprightly new filmed version of "Opening Doors" with Darren Criss, America Ferrera and Jeremy Jordan entrusts to the next generation this singing portrait of young artists in their salad days. Sondheim refers to this as his most explicitly autobiographical number, explaining that his usual songwriting practice is to inhabit the situation of his characters the way an actor inhabits a role.
There are other contemporary cracks at classics — a "Send in the Clowns" with Audra McDonald and Will Swenson and an outré version of "I'm Still Here" with Jarvis Cocker of the rock band Pulp that's directed by Todd Haynes. But it's the vintage performances that steal the film.
In an excerpt from the superb 1970 D.A. Pennebaker documentary "Company: Original Cast Album," Dean Jones delivers a rendition of "Being Alive" that beats any I've heard live or on recording. And what a thrill to see Larry Kert, the young star of the original Broadway production of "West Side Story," knock "Something's Coming," with all its fleet baseball imagery, out of the park.
Still hard at work at a craft that he says requires only more courage with age, Sondheim hasn't always received the appreciation he deserves. Those who radically advance their art forms rarely do. So it's gratifying to see him recognized as one of the immortals while he's still around to enjoy it.

Let's take a closer look on how to find information in the military archive, in this case closing in a specific regiment and a specific conscript, my great grandfather, Knud Christian Hansen Skov. This post is about how I found some of the military records available regarding my great grandfather and hopefully it can be a kind of 'how-to' when you need to find information about your own ancestors.
I started out with nothing more than my great grandfather's name and an old photo of him in uniform as well as a general idea of when he served (my initial guess was 1890 +/- 5 years). Unfortunately noone in my family could give me anymore details than that, except of cource that everyone remembers my grat grandmother telling that "he looked so handsome in his uniform". Not much to go by, but lets see what we can find. Luckily the Danish archives have rather much information available and the resources are generally very well organized.

Amen. Although I may taking/projecting different meaning from your above quoted words let me say this: on multiple occasions at this year's burn I thought about how much I want to share a burn with a partner. I have not done so since '08 and that burn taught me the risks of bringing a default world relationship to the playa. That said, I'm once again ready to experience the beauty of BRC, the playa and the community with a partner.clocksnmirrors wrote: - setting up and breaking down said camp in a radically self reliant way is a lonely experience. i'm really great at doing it all for and by myself, but i think i don't want that anymore
Now, on to "What I learned at BM was":
- The playa will in fact return in kind the hard work and compassion you put into making your burn a reality.
- The ticket lotto fiasco did in fact have a negative impact on the number of art projects, art cars and and veteran burners that were present on the playa this year.
- When a pretty girl is nice to me and talks to me openly about her life while we're riding an art car it boosts my ego, gives me a boner and makes me temporarily forget the damage my ex did to me after she melted down on me. Thank you, playa!
- The limits of how much time and energy I can give to a theme camp and/or to volunteer shifts.
- That for me my own tears are the most powerful drug available on the playa.
- No matter how much great food your camp is providing you with don't wait until the ride out of BRC to crack open your jar of bread and butter pickles!
- That it's okay to let personal playa traditions go unrealized if it means getting the sleep and/or rest you need so that you don't collapse and/or you are ready to leave BRC when your rideshare needs to get off the playa.

Grads complete re-entry program
They may not be typical graduates, but the six people who successfully completed the Day Reporting Center (DRC) program in Covington proudly posed for pictures and expressed their thanks to DRC staff during a graduation ceremony held Jan. 8.
Day Reporting Centers, which strive to reduce the recidivism of individuals under supervision of probation and parole officers, are fairly new to the area. The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections selected a private firm called GEO Reentry to open six centers in the state in July. Other DRCs are located in Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, Monroe, Alexandria and Bossier City.
Unlike traditional work-release programs or halfway houses, DRCs do not require an offender to reside at the program facility. DRCs work as an intense re-entry program to help offenders who are serving their early-release or probationary time. Most are referred by their parole officers. The attendees must complete three phases of the program, usually within a 90-day time frame, said Akeisha Penn, program manager of the Covington DRC.
The center provides evidence-based programming designed to rehabilitate offenders and successfully prepare them for life after jail or prison. Participants undergo cognitive behavioral therapy, employment readiness and career development, adult basic education and GED prep resources and referrals, life skills and parenting, and anger management and drug and alcohol classes. The program is then followed with aftercare.
Derrick Smith, of Covington, was one of the proud graduates. He completed his sentence in St. Tammany Parish Jail, but without a permanent home, he missed several appointments with his parole officer and was placed in the DRC program for failing to report.
"Once you start getting into the program, you find it works for you," said Smith. "It helped with my anger, my problem solving, thinking before acting, drug abuse, staying away from negative people, communicating with other people and staying on the positive track."
Smith, who has eight months left on his probation, is a frequent volunteer at the DRC. He helps staff while also talking to probationers and parolees about the program's services and helping to mentor and motivate new participants.
During the brief ceremony, the graduates had a carnation pinned to their gown, signifying a new start in life and reintegration back into society. A single candle was lit to symbolize a new direction for the graduates to take the skills they learned from the program and to shine brightly.
"Use these tools that you've learned here and exceed in your life," Penn told the graduates, "but always remember you are part of DRC and are always welcome."
Case manager Karen Mason said often when new clients walk in the door they have the attitude of "why am I here?," but at some point it becomes a safe place for them.
"They know we are here to listen, and they learn better ways to maneuver through this world," Mason said. "To watch their growth is phenomenal."
Nick McKee, who was a member of the Covington center's first graduating class on Nov. 20, agreed. He attended the Jan. 8 ceremony to support his friends in the class behind him.
"It's a good program, and it definitely gave me a second chance," McKee said. "You don't always get that."

Rudolfo Anaya
Bless Me, Ultima took Anaya seven years to write and was first published by the Chicano magazine El Grito. In 1972, Anaya was awarded the prestigious Premio Quinto Sol Award for the novel. He then went on to write two more novels to complete his New Mexican trilogy, Heart of Aztlàn (1976) and Tortuga (1979). From the beginning of his career, he has been a passionate promoter of Chicano literature. In fact, many say he has done more to promote its publication than any other single person. He has also been an eloquent proponent of multiculturalism and pluralism in American culture, and speaks and writes regularly on the bigotry that people of color still face in this country.
Currently a professor emeritus of English and creative writing at the University of New Mexico, Anaya is the author of seven critically acclaimed novels. He has also written plays, poems, essays, short stories, books for children, and a series of mystery novels featuring police investigator Sonny Baca. Anaya received the National Medal of Arts from President George W. Bush in 2001.

Browse with Amazon Silk on the Kindle Fire HD
Amazon Silk is Kindle Fire HD's web browser. Silk is simple to use, but the real benefits of Amazon Silk are all about browsing performance.
Amazon Silk is touted as a "Cloud-accelerated split browser." In plain English, this means that the browser can use the power of Amazon's servers to load the pages of a website quickly. Because parts of the process of loading web pages are handled not on your Kindle Fire HD, but on servers in the Cloud, your pages are supposed to display faster.
In addition, you get what's called a persistent connection, which means that your tablet is always connected to the Amazon Internet backbone (the routes that data travels to move among networks online) whenever it has access to a Wi-Fi connection.
The Kindle Fire HD 7-inch and 8.9-inch models can connect only via Wi-Fi; the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD 4G LTE Wireless model is the only one that has Wi-Fi access and 4G LTE access, so it can connect to a cellular network just as your mobile phone does.
Another touted ability of Silk is the way it filters content to deliver it faster. Say you open a news site, such as MSN or CNN. Obviously, millions of others are accessing these pages on the same day.
If most of those folks choose to open the Entertainment page after reading the home page of the site, Silk essentially predicts what page you might open next and pre-loads it. If you choose to go to that page, too, it appears instantly.

Since 1998, the American Museum of Natural History and the Hayden Planetarium have engaged in the three-dimensional mapping of the Universe. This cosmic cartography brings a new perspective to our place in the Universe and redefines our sense of home.
From the Solar System out to the edge of the observable universe, the Digital Universe obtains data from scientists and organizations around the world and builds a consistent atlas where disparate data are in context with one another.
The Digital Universe is distributed via free download and to planetariums around the world through our partnerships with several planetarium technology companies.
The free version offered on this site is a stripped down version of what you'll find in planetariums. In the downloadable version, we begin at the Sun and are flying among the nearby stars. There is no Solar System. And, the free version comes in two scales, a Milky Way scale, and an Extragalactic scale, for all that lies outside the Milky Way galaxy.
We will continue to update the atlas and as the frontier of knowledge presses forward, so to will the Digital Universe.

Radiator Springs Racers is the kind of ride nobody but Disney can do.
The new $200 million attraction in the 12-acre Cars Land at Disney California Adventure brings to bear all the theme park giant's strengths and abilities: immersive storytelling, detailed thematic scenery, life-like animatronic characters and the illusion of speed and thrill.
PHOTOS: Buena Vista Street | Cars Land | Radiator Springs Racers | Mater's Junkyard Jamboree | Luigi's Flying Tires | Carsland origins
The E-ticket ride is so amazing that Disney may need to come up with a new attraction designation: F-ticket.
Radiator Springs Racers is one of the best attractions Disney has ever built and stands next to Disneyland's Indiana Jones Adventure at the pinnacle of theme park ride supremacy, giving Anaheim a one-two punch that rivals any Disney resort in the world (until Shanghai Disneyland opens).
REVIEWS: Cars Land | Radiator Springs Racers | Mater's Junkyard Jamboree | Luigi's Flying Tires |Buena Vista Street
Officially premiering Friday, Radiator Springs Racers combines a classic dark ride through scenes from the Disney/Pixar "Cars" movie with a thrilling head-to-head drag race around hairpin turns and along high-speed straightaways. I rode the new attraction several times during press and visitor preview events.
Riders climb into an anthropomorphic slot car based on Epcot's Test Track technology before heading out on a road trip through the desert buttes and bluffs of the 2006 film's iconic Ornament Valley.
The first ahh moment comes as we turn the corner and encounter a 100-foot-tall waterfall as the music soars from the onboard sound system and our car actually stops to take in the scenery.
Heading indoors down a dark tunnel, we meet the cast of characters from the movie in a series of surprising and harrowing moments. Unlike most dark rides, the cars and vehicles we encounter look full-size and three-dimensional with animated faces.
The piece de resistance is a trip through the neon-lighted town of Radiator Springs at night, where Lightning McQueen gives us a pep talk just before the big race.
After a quick paint job at Ramone's body shop or new tires from Luigi, we're off on a race around a banked and undulating outdoor course that's fast enough to push us back in our seats around the corners and lift us up out of them on the camelback hills.
Expect Radiator Springs Racers to generate mammoth wait times during the first few months of operation. In fact, all of Cars Land will likely resemble a parking lot of humanity throughout the summer. But once the initial excitement wears off, I'd say Radiator Springs Racers is the kind of bar-setting ride that's worthy of a cross-country road trip for any Disney fanatic.

New judge will preside over 'Bubba' beating case
When the retrial of a Key Largo man convicted in 2012 of felony animal abuse gets started later this year, it will be presided over by a new judge because of protests lodged by defense attorneys that the original judge is too prejudiced against the defendant to fairly judge the case.
Monroe County Circuit Court Judge Luis Garcia in May 2012 sentenced Noah Mitchell, 36, to nine months in the county jail. A six-member jury took six hours to find Mitchell guilty following his trial for severely beating his Labrador retriever puppy for reportedly snatching a piece of steak off the counter during an October 2010 barbecue.
Mitchell was immediately released on a $10,000 appeal bond and has not served any time.
During sentencing, Garcia said he did not believe Mitchell's excuse for the dog's horrific injuries. Mitchell maintains he dropped the dog, named Bubba, after the animal bit him on the hand as he was carrying him inside Mitchell's Pimlico Lane house.
Garcia said, "So, Mr. Mitchell's version of what occurred, as far as the court is concerned, is not credible.... Mr. Mitchell, you lost control ... and hurt that dog severely.... You basically refused to get help."
Those statements amount to a prejudice against Mitchell, his attorney, public defender Jerome Gilhooley, successfully argued in a Dec. 9 brief. The Circuit Court will appoint a new judge to the case in the coming weeks, said Assistant State Attorney Demetrios Efstratiou.
The beating of Bubba was one of the biggest stories of 2010 in the pet-centric Keys. People were so outraged that Gilhooley was worried his client could not receive a fair trial in the Upper Keys.
The Third District Court of Appeal reversed the conviction in July because the original prosecutor erred during closing arguments by telling jurors the burden of proof of Mitchell's guilt or innocence rested with the defense. She told jurors that the only way they could acquit Mitchell is if they felt all the state's witnesses lied in open court.
The State Attorney's Office decided to retry the case in October.
The day Bubba suffered his injuries, Mitchell was moving into his new house with the help of two friends, who would become witnesses for the prosecution.
After the day's work was done, the men barbecued steaks and drank beer. Not in dispute is that Bubba took a piece of meat off the counter and ran outside. But Mitchell tells a different story of how Bubba became injured -- wounds that included a broken larynx, a collapsed lung and six broken ribs.
The friends, Gary Pitterman and Curt Murphy, say Mitchell was so enraged at Bubba for taking the food that he slammed, kicked and punched the then 8-month-old pet.
Mitchell's friends called their friend, Karin Kass, and explained how badly Bubba was hurt. Kass called Sheriff's Office deputies. When police arrived, they found the dog barely alive.
Sheriff's Sgt. Thomas Kiffney took Bubba to an emergency pet clinic in Miami-Dade. He was put on a ventilator machine for several days and given pain medication.
Bubba has since recovered and is living with new owners.

The $24.5 billion twin tunnels plan might not give state officials the flexibility they so desperately want to more efficiently move water to far-flung portions of the state.
The $24.5 billion twin tunnels plan might not give state officials the flexibility they so desperately want to more efficiently move water to far-flung portions of the state.
And the hope that restoring large tracts of wetland habitat in the Delta will help certain fish appears to be "overly optimistic," a team of outside experts has concluded.
The team's report, released Thursday, is not a broad review of the entire Bay Delta Conservation Plan. Nor is it a condemnation of the plan.
"We make no judgment on whether the BDCP is a good idea or a bad idea," said panel Chairman Jeff Mount, a rivers consultant and geology professor at the University of California, Davis. "We are absolutely scientifically agnostic about that, and we tried very hard to be fair in that regard."
The report does raise questions, however, about some of the basic purported benefits of the controversial plan - such as improving the reliability of California's water supply and helping endangered fish. It also strongly criticizes a proposal for how the tunnels would be managed and operated once they're built.
Not all of the findings are negative. The group agrees with plan proponents that taking water through the tunnels would reduce the slaughter of fish that are often sucked into the existing water export pumps near Tracy. Models show the benefits to be so great that if the system had been in place over the past decade, populations of native fish such as the Delta smelt might never have crashed to begin with, Mount said.
However, there is no certainty that the project will actually be operated as the models predict it will be.
"Modeling fails to account for human beings," Mount said.
The study was conducted for two environmental groups, The Nature Conservancy and American Rivers. It was funded by the S.D. Bechtel Jr. Foundation, whose founder is the retired chairman of the Bechtel Group, a global engineering and construction firm. Mount said the foundation had no involvement in shaping the report.
Among the panel's findings:
� Building the tunnels would allow officials to take water from the Sacramento River in the north, as well as from the existing pumps in the south. In theory, this would help the state take a bigger gulp during wet years, when lots of water is available.
But the team found that legal constraints on how upstream reservoirs are operated "severely limits" this flexibility. Water exports might increase to a "modest" degree during wet years, but the plan "does not significantly reduce pressure on the Delta during drier periods."
� The new water intakes along the Sacramento could attract predators looking to gobble up the very fish the plan is supposed to protect, among other potential side effects. Plans to deal with such issues at the new intakes are "uncertain."
� The plan changes flows in the Delta in a way that could result in "substantial improvement" for the beleaguered Delta smelt, provided the tunnels are operated in a manner consistent with the models - a point on which the report expresses some skepticism.
� Part of the tunnels plan includes converting farms in the Delta to wetlands in an effort to partially re-create conditions that existed before the estuary was drained and diked in the 19th century. In theory, wetlands would provide more food and space for fish populations to grow.
But the panel finds restoration might only create a "modest" amount of food for smelt.
The team said it is "cautiously optimistic" about the restoration potential in Cache Slough, an area already used by smelt, but other proposed restoration areas either offer uncertain benefits or are too far away from fish populations to offer much cause for hope.
� The water agencies and users that would be granted 50-year permits to take water through the Delta would have "unusual" authority to make decisions about how the tunnels are operated, including veto power over proposed changes by wildlife agencies, the panel found.
Richard Stapler, a spokesman for the California Resources Agency, said the outside review was "appreciated" but noted it was based on a draft version of the tunnels plan released last spring. Changes have already been made to address earlier comments made by government agencies, he said.
Habitat restoration efforts are already underway on Cache Slough, the area identified by the panel as potentially having some promise, Stapler said.
And as for how the tunnels are operated, he said he expects the formal draft plan, scheduled to be released this fall, "will show substantial progress in this area."

Difference between revisions of "Fátima"
Revision as of 10:30, 21 April 2015
Fátima is a city in Portugal, in the municipality of Ourem, in Central Portugal.
Fátima is a place of pilgrimage for many Catholics in commemoration of the apparition of the Virgin to three young shepherds (Francisco Marto, Jacinta Marto and Lucia Santos, later Sister Lucia of Fatima) in Cova da Iria. On the 13th of every month (and more so on 13 May and 13 October), thousands of people will make their way to Fátima.
Get in
There are buses to and from Lisbon every hour between approximately 7am-10pm from Lisbon's central bus station. As of November 2009, a round trip costs 18-19 Euros and takes 90 minutes one way. From Fatima bus station, it is a short walk (less than half mile) along the streets with shops and hostals to the Church.
Do not go to Fatima train station; it is still very far from Fatima itself and the connection is bad. The nearest train stations are Caxarias, Seiça and Fatima - 21+ km away.
Get around
It is a short walk (less than half mile) from Fatima's bus station to the church and the shrine.
The house where Francisco and Jacinta lived is also nearby.
Visit the Cova da Iria/Basilica (Sanctuary). For the Catholics visiting Fatima as a pilgrimage, there are several masses daily at the Basilica or at the Chapel of Apparitions.
The street between the bus station and the church are lined with shops that sell church-related items (rosaries, statues of Virgin Mary, etc). The Basilica itself has a shop as well. Some items of note are rosaries with little bit of earth of Fatima (2,00-3,50 euros). With several masses each day at the Basilica and at the Chapel, there shouldn't be a problem finding a priest to bless the rosaries after you purchase them.
Fatima is city of hotels and guesthouses, so it's not difficult to find a place to sleep. Budget accomodation with breakfast starts at € 30 for two beds room. If you want to book in advance via hotel booking web sites, the time for best prices is approximately one to two weeks before your stay.
Places to See
Leiria (castle), grutas/Porto de Moz, Batalha(Monestary), and Tomar (castle, convent).

Sensient's research and development team created new DustPro NXT natural colors to prevent color particulates from sticking together, improve pouring capabilities and minimize dust accumulation. When added to water, it dissolves rapidly and reduces mixing time. DustPro NXT also has a greater shelf life and lower shipping costs than liquid natural colors.
DustPro NXT natural colors are suitable for beverage, dairy, baking, and processed food applications. A vivid, full color spectrum is available including customized colors to meet specific shade requirements.

Timing, even as a lovable hack like Fozzie Bear knows, is everything in comedy.
The timing is funny, but not in a wokka-wokka-wokka kind of way, though, for "Muppets Most Wanted," which is set to take the fork in the road into theaters Friday. The comedy, built in part around tongue-in-cheek, throwback Soviet-era villain caricatures, lands amid perhaps the most serious crisis of the post-Cold War era.
In the film, Kermit the Frog gets tossed into a Siberian gulag in place of his Russian doppelgänger, evil amphibian Constantine, offering new proof that it's not easy being red – at least not in the movies. The flick is shaping up as the latest potential case of Jim Henson's felt creations becoming unintended political Muppets.
The movie co-stars notable humans Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell and Tina Fey, who plays a goofy Kermit-loving gulag guard with an accent that's a mix of Boris and Natasha, the bumbling Russian spies of "Rocky and Bullwinkle" fame.
That's an appropriate homage to a "Muppet Show" forerunner that deftly used a kid friendly format – animation – and silly-smart humor to appeal to children and adults on different levels. Jay Ward's characters boldly provided Cold War satire on TV in the early 1960s when "From Russia with Love" gave us big-screen Soviet bad guys and gals to abhor (and ogle).
Around the time the Muppets took Manhattan in the 1980s, some movies reflected the Cold War re-chill with the jingoistic likes of "Red Dawn." And let's not forget the Sylvester Stallone double helping of "Rambo: First Blood Part II" and "Rocky IV," which introduced Russian super villain Ivan Drago as the boxing movie series jumped the shark (or, in Rocky Balboa parlance, hopped the turtle terrarium).
The creative folks behind the latest Muppets caper likely thought they would lightheartedly tap into corny movie conventions with a knowing wink and nod – not only with the trading-places gimmick, but via the retro Russian villain conceit a quarter century after the fall of the Berlin Wall. They certainly couldn't have predicted the current turmoil embroiling Ukraine and Crimea.
Now the movie arrives as potential fodder for political satire and memes, in keeping with a growing Muppet tradition. Ernie and Bert became symbols of same-sex marriage. Cookie Monster transformed into an icon of greed during Occupy Wall Street. Jon Stewart turned childlike Elmo into the bedraggled political prisoner "Gitmo" in a recurring bit on "The Daily Show."
The use of the Muppets in political imagery and parody show how ingrained they are in us. But that might too big a burden to place on Kermit and Co., who only want to make us laugh – even if it might be harder than usual to forget what we're going to the movies to escape from these days.
As the franchise tries to match its triumphant 2011 cinematic comeback in "The Muppets," check out a preview of the gang's latest film foray below:

You can debate whether Apple's iPad is a PC or not and you can even argue whether the tablet computer is a necessary tool, but one thing that cannot be debated is how big of a success the mobile device has been for the Cupertino company.
Apple CEO Tim Cook delivered a keynote address Tuesday at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference in San Francisco.
Steve Jobs' successor talked about the success of the iPad and gave some numbers to put it into historical context.
He said the company has sold 55 million iPads since they were first introduced to the world in April 2010.
That's a lot of iPads but just how many is that in comparison to other Apple products?
"This 55 is something no one would have guessed. Including us," he said. "To put it in context, it took us 22 years to sell 55 million Macs. It took us about five years to sell 22 million iPods, and it took us about three years to sell that many iPhones. And so, this thing is, as you said, it's on a trajectory that's off the charts."
Just how dramatic of a trajectory that is was put into visual context by Asymco, who made a graph showing how quickly the sales have shot off the chart in comparison to Apple's other products.

San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis isn't the only big name in the NFC West angling for a new deal.
With Pro Bowl running back Marshawn Lynch contemplating retirement if he isn't properly paid, Seahawks pass rusher Michael Bennett hopes the standoff is short-lived.
"Come back, Marshawn, come back! We need you," Bennett told NFL AM on Monday. "Without Marshawn, we wouldn't win a Super Bowl. Obviously he's one of the best running backs in the game, and he feels like he should be paid like one of the best backs in the game. And, of course, I agree with him. I mean, for a guy to take those kind of hits in the NFL and continue to do it at a high level?"
Appearing with his brother on NFL Network, Chicago Bears tight end Martellus Bennett argued that today's running backs have to scrap for every dollar.
"The way that running backs are treated in the league nowadays, until they get some leverage, they gotta try and get paid again, because they'll be out before you know it," Martellus said. "It's almost as if in the NFL, as soon as you have a good year, you gotta ask for a pay raise -- because as soon as you have a bad year, they ask for a pay cut."
Lynch has been one of the NFL's hardest-working backs over the past three seasons, but his leverage is almost nonexistent. With Christine Michael and Robert Turbin in the stable, Seattle isn't about to cave to Marshawn's desire for more guap.
These contract stories aren't unusual in June, but Lynch would need to take this into September to see results.
In the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast," the heroes talk "Hard Knocks" before delving into a new batch of rookie whispers.

ATLANTA (AP) — An audit has found that a $25 million shortfall at Georgia Perimeter College was caused by chronic overspending and an inattention to finances by administrators of the suburban Atlanta school.
The review by the University System of Georgia was released Thursday.
It found that the school's senior fiscal leaders ignored or didn't notice of warning signs the college was heading toward financial disaster.
Evidence of the school's dire financial situation was available in both school financial statements and publicly available state audits, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Those reports showed the college overspending its budget and using dwindling reserves to make ends meet.
However, the review states that the school's former president didn't read the financial statements and other key officials didn't fulfill their fiscal management duties.
Georgia Perimeter is the state's third-largest public college, teaching nearly 27,000 students at sites in Alpharetta, Clarkston, Covington, Decatur and Dunwoody.
Earlier this year, Georgia Perimeter announced the layoffs of nearly 300 workers as it copes with its budget shortfall.
