DENVER (Reuters) - Following the recall of two Democratic state senators in Colorado last month over their support for gun control laws, a third faces possible ouster, an outcome that would shift control of the state Senate to Republicans.
Gun rights activists have launched a petition drive seeking to force an election to recall state Senator Evie Hudak, a Democrat who voted for five gun control measures this year.
The group "Recall Hudak Too" has until early December to turn in 18,303 valid signatures needed to put the question before voters, said campaign spokesman Michael McAlpine.
Last month voters recalled state Senate President John Morse and state Senator Angela Giron, key members of the Democratic-controlled legislature which passed several gun control measures after mass shootings last year in a suburban Denver movie theater and at a Connecticut elementary school.
In a general statement detailing their reasons for the recall effort, the group said Hudak, a former schoolteacher who represents Denver's northwest suburbs, had "blatantly disregarded her oath" of office.
"She has infringed upon our constitutional right to bear arms," the statement said, among other listed grievances.
Hudak said in a statement the petitioners were "seeking to undo the will of voters" who re-elected her last year.
"The perpetual recall of legislators that we are now seeing is an obstacle to governing the needs of Coloradans," she said.
The most controversial gun control measures passed by the state legislature were the limiting of ammunition magazines to 15 rounds and requiring background checks for all private firearms sales and transfers. Governor John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, signed the bills into law.
After the ouster of Morse and Giron, Democrats hold a one-vote majority in the state Senate.
Independent political pollster Floyd Ciruli said Hudak narrowly won re-election, by about 500 votes, making her vulnerable to a recall effort.
While some Republicans feel emboldened by the successful recalls and see an opportunity to seize control of one chamber of the General Assembly, establishment Republican leaders are not supporting the recall, Ciruli said.
"They worry that the tables could be turned on them down the line," he said.
Should the measure qualify for the ballot, the governor would set a date for the election, which he said could be held during the forthcoming legislative session starting in January.
"That would be a real game changer if she is recalled and the Republicans get control in the middle of the session," Ciruli said.

The EU accession process triggered a frantic drive of reforms and adaptations to EU standards in the Bulgarian administration. Besides big areas like agriculture, free movement of goods and environment, it also had an impact on many smaller areas, thoroughly transforming the Bulgarian state apparatus and the way it functioned. One of these smaller areas was State Aid.
The objective of state aid control in the EU is to ensure that government intervention does not distort competition and intra-community trade. State aid is defined as an intervention by public authorities giving one company an advantage over its competitors. Subsidies granted to individuals or general measures open to all enterprises do not constitute state aid (see website of DG competition).
The Europe Agreement of 1993, which came into force in 1995, contained a provision (article 64) on state aid: it was the first time Bulgaria had to tackle the issue. Plamen Vassilev was an expert in the international economy directorate of the Ministry of Finance when his boss told him to get acquainted with article 64. Vassilev, now head of the Ministry of Finance's state aid department, recalls:
"This was something completely new for Bulgaria and for myself as well."
At the time, most of what the EU considers state aid was granted by the Ministry of Finance on a discretionary basis; rules and transparency were lacking. Vassilev worked for nearly a year on this issue before a state aid department – responsible for applying article 64 of the Europe Agreement – was set up in the Ministry of Finance in October 1996. Initially Vassilev was the only person in this department.
In 1996, the first state aid inventory was carried out (by an EC-financed outside consultant, as domestic experts were still unavailable). "This was very difficult then. Nobody knew about it and many ministries tried to keep information to themselves. These were completely unknown topics."
The EC's 1997 Opinion on Bulgaria stated:
"In the field of state aid, Bulgaria does not, at this stage, meet the requirements of a credible state aid control. No rules for the monitoring of state aid exist for the moment and the transparency required in the granting of state aid has not yet been achieved. It is therefore not possible to examine whether the state aid granted is compatible with the Community state aid rules."
Bulgaria has come a long way since then. The beginnings were difficult, Vassilev explains:
"In principle, state aid is forbidden, but there are hundreds of exceptions. It took a while to convince ministries in Sofia that this is important. They were saying that if it's forbidden, why should one deal with it?"
In 1997 the Bulgarian authorities realised the need for a more serious structure. Vassilev was sent to attend training sessions in Stockholm, London, Brussels, and Maastricht, where he saw how member states dealt with state aid. Additional staff were hired and trained, with different experts made responsible for different aspects of state aid. By 1999 the department had five people. A network was also being created: two contact persons per district in all 28 districts, in every ministry and in some government agencies. By 2006 the department employed 8 people.
Over the years the EC provided the department with a lot of assistance. Four twinning projects – two smaller ones at the beginning and two bigger ones later on – were organised jointly with the Commission for the Protection of Competition, the Bulgarian body entrusted with the control of competition as well as state aid. The EC helped purchase computers for the department, the Commission for the Protection of Competition, and the 28 districts. Each year DG Competition invites officials from the accession countries to a conference on state aid, where they can obtain firsthand information about new developments.
In 2002 the State Aid Act was passed, becoming the legal basis for the state aid department and the Commission for the Protection of Competition. As of 2002 the Ministry of Finance has been able to write official letters to all state aid donors and – using the same methodology as EU member states – to prepare serious annual reports. The state aid inventory has improved significantly from its inception in 1996 (when, using data from the Ministry of Finance, it covered generic subsidies only, but not other forms of state aid). A computerised state aid network is now in place, and all relevant areas are covered. The department also issues opinions on the compatibility of new legal acts with state aid rules. Judgements on state aid issues are delivered by the Commission for the Protection of Competition (Komisia za zastita na konkurenciata), but this power will be transferred to the EU after accession.
The EC, in its 2005 Monitoring Report, reaches a very different conclusion than in 1997:
"Bulgaria is generally meeting the commitments and requirements arising from the accession negotiations in the fields of anti-trust and state aid, and is expected to be in a position to implement the acquis from accession."
The Stockholm European Council in 2001 had asked member states to demonstrate a downward trend in state aid in relation to GDP and to redirect aid towards horizontal objectives (environment, SME, employment aid and regional aid) versus sectoral aid (primarily for manufacturing and coal).
At the time of the big bang enlargement of 2004, Bulgaria had one of the lowest rates of state aid both in absolute terms and as a share of GDP: at 0.36 percent, it is considerably lower than in the new EU member states (1.35 percent) and still less than in the old member states (0.45 percent). Although the share spent on horizontal measures is still lower than in the old member states, it is nearly double the new member state average.

BMedia and friends Variety Show #3: Earth Day Inc.
From the open publishing newswire: EPISODE #3 of B Media's monthly variety show was inspired by GREEN CAPITALISM and connects indigenous and environmental struggles at Hood River, the Bank of America's financing of the Alberta Tar Sands, City Repair's Earth Day festival, the economic justice rally in solidarity with Wisconsin, and ties it together with Slingshot's radical history of April (the cruelest month), an unexpected visit by a cadre of Unemployed Superheros... and YouTube cat videos.
View episode here http://blip.tv/bmediacollective/variety-tree-earth-day-inc-5288049
This episode explores the connections between environment destruction and the economic and cultural systems that enable it. Movements and actions by groups like Rising Tide North America, City Repair, the PDX Climate Justice Coalition and the alternatives they advocate for are contrast with the banking system and unchecked capitalism, the increasing atomization of American life, and the Tea party. Our goal was to highlight the people doing important work in our communities, and single out the elements distracting us from that work on a daily basis.
American Premiere of THE IDIOT CYCLE in Corvallis, Oregon
From the open publishing newswire: For the first time the award winning documentary The Idiot Cycle is being screened in America - December 7th, 2010 - at Dark Cinemas in Corvallis, Oregon and at the same time at California States University in Sacramento.
The film has been at the center of much discussion, since it was denied E&O insurance because of "subject matter" (which means it probably will not be shown on television in the USA or Canada) and recently the university of Montpeiller's screening of the film was almost cancelled by the school director when he heard the school's sponsor BASF was cited in the film. It is a serious film about cancer and how chemical companies not only profit from making the chemicals that cause cancer, but also profit from selling the drugs that treat cancer. These same companies are now developing genetically modified crops, which have never been tested for long term health impacts like cancer.
The film focuses on six major companies: Dow Chemical, Bayer, BASF, Monsanto, Dupont, and Astrazeneca. It was filmed in eight countries, including the U.S. The trailer can be seen here: www.theidiotcycle.com
COMMUNE: A Film
From the open publishing newswire: COMMUNE is a film about Olympia, Washington, and was a gift to the denizens of that small city. It's a street-level exploration of the Olympia social commons?a shifting space that erupts on street corners and bubbles up from an underground well of potential. Through casual interviews with strangers, the film dives into the depths of desire and unveils new uses of the spaces Olympians all share. It was meant to be a looking glass, a lens, and a thief's gaze directed at Olympia's own terrible community.
A terrible community constitutes itself in opposition to an opponent and, in that opposition, closes in on itself and begins to rot. Olympia, once home to ELF cells, the diffuse network of Port Militarization Resistance, and a broad community of anarchists, has become little more than a stale, dusty closet, a cafe-to-show circuit, a green-washed, gentrifying haven of the left. In short, a terrible community. COMMUNE exposes that Olympia runs business as usual despite its high activist-per-capita ratio and radical reputation. But the film also reveals the existence of different communes, spreading on their own, outside of anarchist or radical circles.
About Portland Indymedia
From the open publishing newswire: Portland IMC is a multimedia news service with a social justice focus. It is part of the international network, "Independent Media Center", also known as "Indymedia" or "IMC" for short. The mission of Portland Indymedia volunteers is to empower everyone to be the media by providing and maintaining the tools & audience using an anarchist model of organization. Portland Indymedia encourages and PULLS content from local, first-hand experiences through OPEN publishing. Instead of pushing content like traditional media. In other words, we provide direct access to media.
Once upon a time, a few years before the invention of blogs and Twitter and social networking sites, Indymedia revolutionized the way media is made. Back then when corporations & powerful institutions, like the IMF, wanted to black out insurrections and dissenting voices it was relatively easy to do so. They had exclusive influence on the media. Then here came this wild idea. This Open publishing program, written in fancy new code that enabled comments to articles! The news content was USER driven. And...

Radical Botany: Skillshare - Spring plants in Cascadia - Nettles and the potherb
From the open publishing newswire: It is the time of year to begin harvesting in the wild. Spring tonic plants are available due to our warm winter weather. Also, plants used for basketry and fiber are available. Go out in the woods and connect!
here a number of native plants that are very important to health, nutrition and ecosystem support. This is the time of year to start looking for basket-making plants.
Nutritional - Medicinal
There were a number of plants that were known by First-peoples of Cascadia that helped humans survive starvation and nutritional imbalance. Know by Europeans as "Spring tonic" plants, these plants with their new shoots are full of nutrients that are helpful to our well being. For instance- stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) when picked young, can be steamed and eaten in February and March. This plant has been known to alleviate muscle pain, depression and tiredness. Because of the unusually warm weather this winter in Cascadia, I have already begun to harvest young Stinging Nettle. Stinging nettle is often found in semi-wet well drained areas. The plant is often found near Horse Tail (Equisetum arvense).
Searching for the Significance of a Life and a Death
From the open publishing newswire: Yesterday, a man set himself on fire outside Ungar Furs, and burned himself to death. We know his name now: According to the Alliance, it was Daniel Shaull. And we know that what he did appears to have been in solidarity with the animals who continue to die horrible deaths, day after day after day, to keep Nicholas Ungar in business. We know that, even as he was on fire and undoubtedly in terrible pain, he mustered great strength and tried to go inside the fur store to spread the flames to the coats and garments and blood-stained profits of the last fur store in Portland.
I would like to know more.
12 Arrested at Regence Sit-in!
From the open publishing newswire: Healthcare activists and their supporters, take over the campus of Regence-Bluecross, in an attempt to meet with their CEO, and have demands heard, but are denied justice, and refused entry.
This is Martha Perez, reporting to you live from SW Portland, where about 50 healthcare advocates are gathered for a non-violent, peaceful sit-in, rally and march around the campus of Regence Bluecross, home to one of the largest healthcare insurers in Oregon state. I am being told the building now is in lock-down, and will remain so, for the time being, in response to this latest action.
Radical Botany: Skillshare #9; Digging in the Dirt
From the open publishing newswire: All this digging is old technology some say. Newer ideas have evolved through the Permaculture movement where "no digging", and "grow what you can on top of the hard pack" dominate the movement. But for me, gardening is more than creating food and providing habitat for creatures that live above the ground, I am tending to the needs of the amazing life that thrives in the soil deep beneath the first few feet of top soil. I am cutting open the hard crust of human civilization to help emancipate, beneficial fungi, earthworm colonies and beneficial microbes.

China extends fiber tariffs
China has decided to extend anti-dumping tariffs imposed on spandex fiber exporters from Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and the US for another five years.
In an announcement released on Friday, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said if the ministry lifts the tariff penalties, further dumping activity from these regions is likely to take place.
The anti-dumping tariff extension went into effect on Saturday following the approval of the Customs Tariffs Commission at China's State Council, the ministry said.
Spandex yarn, also known as Lycra in the textile industry, is a synthetic fiber which has exceptional elasticity. The fiber is used in a wide range of products, including athletic, aerobic, and exercise clothing, swimming suits, socks, leggings and even surgical bandages.
AIDC nets Japanese buyers
Taiwan-based Aerospace Industrial Development Corp (AIDC, 漢翔航空) on Saturday announced that it has obtained more than NT$750 million (US$25.51 million) in orders from two Japanese buyers.
Mike Lee (李適彰), a spokesman for the state-run company, said AIDC signed agreements a day earlier with Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd and Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd for the new orders during this year's Japan International Aerospace Exhibition.
AIDC is the largest of 13 exhibitors from Taiwan to participate in the aerospace fair that began on Thursday in Nagoya, Japan, and will run through to today.
Under the agreements, AIDC will manufacture 25 components for the wing center section used in Boeing 747-8 aircraft for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, while it will produce movable wing components used in Embraer ERJ-190 aircraft for Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
Lee said the massive orders are expected to boost the company's revenue over the next five years.
TSMC unveils new chip
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電), the world's largest contract chipmaker, on Friday said it had taped out the foundry's segment's first "CoWoSTM" test chip.
The milestone demonstrates the industry's system integration trend to achieve increased bandwidth, higher performance and better energy efficiency.
The CoWoSTM is an integrated process technology that attaches device silicon chips to a wafer through a chip-on-wafer bonding process, the contract chipmaker said.
Polysilicon to hit record low
Polysilicon, the raw material used by the US$38 billion a year solar industry, is forecast to bottom near a record low next year after the leading manufacturers in China and South Korea halted factory expansions.
The spot price will fall 6 percent to about US$18.20 a kilogram by the middle of next year and then is likely to stabilize, according to the median estimate of five analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
The commodity crashed from US$475 in 2008 and is down 27 percent this year to US$19.36 on Oct. 1, the lowest in at least a decade
Want Want CEO nation's richest
Chairman and CEO of Want Want China Holdings Ltd (中國旺旺控股) Tsai Eng-meng (蔡衍明) was named as the richest person on Forbes magazine's list of the 40 wealthiest Taiwanese for this year.
The 55-year-old, who has a net fortune of US$8 billion, turned his family's small trading outfit into a food and beverage giant with US$2.9 billion in revenue, according to the US-based magazine.
Wei Ing-chou (魏應州) and his three brothers, who head Ting Hsin International Group (頂新集團), collectively came in second on the list with a combined net worth of US$6.6 billion.

Dice, what was she saying? I was curious myself.
I dont know, Rapunzel seemed to love the witch for most of the movie even though she was pretty sarcastic. The fact she didn't even seem bummed out that her "mother" of 18 years just died seemed off for some reason.
I just saw Tangled for the first time. Really enjoyed it, certainly more than I was expecting. The mother also really gave me a GLaDOS vibe, which was awesome. I can't say I enjoyed the ending but overall it was a great movie.Code: [Select]I dont know, Rapunzel seemed to love the witch for most of the movie even though she was pretty sarcastic. The fact she didn't even seem bummed out that her "mother" of 18 years just died seemed off for some reason.The movie has got me in the mood to watch Brave, another movie I have never seen before. From the ads that used to be on I don't think The princess and the Frog would be my cup of tea.
I think for the length of Disney flicks (and the budget of Tangled.....70% of which probably went into animating her hair and dress to fall gracefully), doting on the evil mother even if for legitimate means would have been tricky to do.
The cinematography is one if the things that drew me in, it's simply such a wonderfully shot film. And yes, Michael Caine was awesome!!
I watched "This is the End" at the theater last night for a friends birthday. Holy balls this movie is ridiculous. If you like actors making fun of themselves and ridiculous humor then you will enjoy this movie. If you go in expecting a deep movie with lots of subtext then...were you on crack when you bought the tickets?
Henry Cavill is PERFECT as superman. He nails this role big time. And he's one buff dude! Christoper Reeve was downright flabby compared to Cavill. They must have had him train a lot for the role.
Zero Dark Thirty - I'm still unsure as to why this was thrown together so quickly after finally nailing Osama. Was it a rights issue? Just trying to beat other filmmakers to the punch? Whatever it was, I was immediately suspicious as to the potential quality of this film. Once I knew Kathryn Bigelow was directed, who made the fantastic Hurt Locker, I was calmed somewhat. I've finally seen it, and I'm happy to say that it's a damn fine picture. Wonderfully shot, acted, and paced. Very similar in feel to Best Picture winner Argo, but not quite as good. Jessica Chastain pretty much IS this picture, and is wonderful in her role as the CIA operative hunting Osama for 12 years. She's really proving to be a very versatile actress. I really like her looks, too, as she isn't classic "Hollywood beautiful". Certainly attractive, but in a more down to earth, not plasticed up, kind of way. She's destined for greatness, no doubt. The buildup is so well done, and leads into the final conflict perfectly, notching up the tension just right. I DID think it was a tad too long, and wouldn't have suffered much by cutting some scenes short, or removing them altogether. I also wonder about the torture scenes, and how truthful they are. I have no doubt the U.S. has tortured war prisoners/terrorists for information, no matter how much they deny it. But are the tactics taken in this movie indicative of what we really do? If so, I am embarrassed for our country. Overall, a great movie. I'm sure some people are turned off by the subject matter, but I think it works simply as a well made thriller, and is definitely worth seeing.

This paper explores the story of a woman who "created" her life in the law in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although now almost unknown, Cornelia Sorabji achieved prominence as a woman pioneer in the legal profession, who provided legal services to women clients in northern India, the Purdahnashins. Sorabji's experiences as a woman in law were often similar to the stories of other first women lawyers in a number of different jurisdictions at the end of the nineteenth century: all of these women had to overcome gender barriers to gain admission to the legal professions, and they were often the only woman in law in their jurisdictions for many years. Yet, as Sorabii's story reveals, while ideas about gender and the culture of legal professionalism could present formidable barriers for aspiring women lawyers, these ideas sometimes intersected in paradoxical ways to offer new opportunities for women to become legal professionals. In exploring the impact of gender and legal professionalism on Sorabji's legal work, the paper also suggests that her story presents a number of challenges and contradictions that may require new approaches to gender history so as to capture the complexity of stories about women lawyers.Photo: Cornelia Sorabji.

What You Need to Know About Crate Training
Love with your new puppy and want to make sure that you immediately instill good habits?
Crate training is your answer.
We all know that puppies become curious in his new home. Their excitement often ends up in dirty carpets and frayed sandals. Crate training serves as an effective and humane method to train your puppy from an early age.
Of course, your puppy will take the time to learn new good habits. Practice chest drills with patience. You and your puppy will reap the rewards.
Benefits of Crate Training Your Puppy
Many people choose not to carpet to train their puppies because they believe it is cruel. When done in the right way, your puppy's training chest makes them feel safe and secure.
Dogs in the wild live in small spaces called nests. It acts as a shelter where dogs can rest, recover, or care for their children. Your dog feels natural instinct.
A crate acts as a dog's nest. Think of it as your pet's private bedroom in your family's home.
Crutch practice also proves to be effective for your puppy's home exercise. You will hover over them a bit and can feel confident that they will not wet their bed.
Another benefit of crate training is that it reduces your puppy's anxiety! If your new puppy is alone, they can feel burdened in their new home or experience separation anxiety. Custom Dog Crates give your dog a small, secure, and secure domain when you are away.
Choosing the Right Cat for Your Puppy
The right casket for your puppy lets her lie down, stand up, and turn around in a circle.
Choose crates with plenty of ventilation for maximum comfort.
Of course, your descendants need to grow with them. A good option is to buy a large enough chest to fit your dog in adulthood and use a divider to fit its size as it grows.
Tips for Crate Training Your Puppy
You want your puppy to associate their chests with a good feeling!
Make your new puppy bed comfortable. Place the bottom with a blanket. Add some of their favorite toys.
To imitate the room, you can hang a light blanket on top.
Take your puppy to their crates for naps and relaxation. Start in a short spurt. 10 minutes is a good time for a new puppy as he works longer.
An hour of aerobic exercise should precede and follow your puppy's time in the crate. Your puppy will associate the wild with elimination through this process. Always praise your puppy for going out!
As you can see, crate training is a great practice that benefits you and your puppy.
Remember that you should never leave your puppy in their crates all day long. Also, never use the chest as a punishment.
These practices make the farmer's practice inhumane. They generate negative feelings for your new puppy and yourself.
Above all, remember to be patient.
With these tips, your puppy will feel at home in their crate in no time!

Times of Trial is now available, and it's the 2nd novel in my End Times series.
A preacher and his family, the Tyler's, have a church that is dying in Arizona. Even though the church is dying, they take care of the remaining senior saints, including the ones in nursing homes and in hospice. The remaining family, the White's, leave the same church and head to Wyoming to live in a community that was originally started by Doomsday Preppers back in the early 2000′s so they can attempt to escape the increasing persecution of Christians.
Meanwhile, President Collins orders the activation of Camps across the country that will house believers who he thinks are a threat to his rule. His patron, Michael Collins, manipulates events in the Middle East. The Tyler's end up with others in a camp in Arizona, while the White's and the community they live in gets attacked by government troops. Evans continues to manipulate events as the Rapture takes the Christians, and he gains ultimate power.
Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords.
The next novel I'm writing is a sequel to New Frontier, and I will also write a short story anthology of some minor characters mentioned in both End Times novels. Eventually, I'll write a novel about the character of Michael Evans, the patron of President Collins and the man who manipulates events around the world.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard's Tanner Anderson won his first career game Saturday and the Crimson split an Ivy League doubleheader with Columbia at O'Donnell Field. Behind Anderson, Harvard claimed the opener by a score of 6-2 before Columbia came back for a 10-1 victory in the nightcap.
Anderson (1-2), a Tampa, Fla. native, dazzled in his O'Donnell Field debut, hitting the radar gun at 91 miles per hour. He struck out seven batters and didn't issue a walk in 5.2 innings of work while scattering four hits.
Harvard (5-20, 2-4 Ivy) jumped ahead with two first inning runs as Jeff Reynolds doubled home Mike Martin (leadoff single) and later scored on a fielder's choice off the bat of Marcus Way.
An RBI single from Carlton Bailey in the third gave Harvard a 3-1 lead and the Crimson benefitted from a two-out error in the fourth to make it 4-1.
In the sixth inning, Rob Wineski and Ethan Ferreira contributed RBI singles to open things up and Zack Olson shut the door for his second save of the year with the game ending on a double play ball.
In the nightcap, Columbia's Tim Giel (2-1) needed 111 pitches to get through seven innings with the right-hander avoiding big innings as the Crimson stranded seven and hit into three double plays against him.
The big stands came in the sixth and seventh innings; Harvard loaded the bases with no outs in each inning and managed just one run. All told, Giel allowed six hits, two walks and two hit batsmen but continuously worked out of trouble.
The Lions (11-15, 4-2 Ivy) scored five times in the first inning with Nick Crucet and Jordan Serena both delivering two-run hits. Harvard pitchers walked six batters and hit two more with six of those batters coming around to score.
Jake McGuiggan paced the Harvard offense with three hits including a pair of long doubles while Columbia's Jon Eisen was 4-for-5.
Harvard is back in action Sunday with a doubleheader against Penn, which was swept at Dartmouth on Saturday.

WATCH: Sylvester Stallone Shows Off Some Gray Matter At 'Bullet to the Head' Premiere
Sylvester Stallone doesn't just use his cranium for a battering ram. On the red carpet at Tuesday's premiere of Bullet to the Head, the enduring action star — who wrote his ticket to stardom in 1976 with Rocky — told me that he does keep moviegoers in mind when he approaches a project. "The one thing you have to do is try to be creative with the audience but not be so self-serving," Stallone explained. "In other words, [don't] get too goofy too far out there. Y'know, you try to give them what they want but give them a little twist on it." more »

What a dad wants, plus advice for those anticipating fatherhood and a question about recovering from a "man ban." Featured musical artist: Jeremy Horn
Guests: Martha Krienke, Greg Smalley, Glenn T. Stanton,
37:21 –
Being a dad is no walk in the park. Just ask Greg Smalley and Glenn Stanton, this week's roundtable guests. Both are dads who have fears, struggle with regret, wonder about the future and must balance their parenting with the past and present influences of their own fathers. Listen in as these men break down for us what's at stake when it comes to leading a family with grace, humility and a good dose of courage.
Guests: John Fuller,
30:01 –
John Fuller knows something about children. After all, he has six of them: male, female, compliant, strong-willed, living at home, flown from the nest — and an adopted child with special needs. He wrote First-Time Dad as an encouragement to men that being a successful parent is not only possible, it's one of the best things a guy can do. In my interview he shares how to manage expectations of fatherhood, prepare for it, preserve your marriage in the process and a whole lot more.
Guests: Romie Hurley,
8:54 –
She used to manipulate men. Once she recognized this, she put herself on a "man ban." She's now lifted the ban, but is finding it difficult relating to guys again. Why is this so awkward? Focus counselor Romie Hurley gives a straight-talk analysis of what's causing this listener's opposite-sex paralysis and what she can do about it.
Have a question about relationships, life or faith you'd like answered on the show? We'd love to hear from you!

Australian Wildlife Conservancy uses statistical discovery tools to address threats to wildlife
Supporting biodiversity and conservation
Managing and monitoring 21 wildlife sanctuaries covering over 2.5 million hectares adds up to millions of pieces of information to analyse and understand.
In the increasingly challenging fight to protect our planet's natural environment for future generations, conservationists must clearly understand what is going wrong before they can consider and recommend potential remedies.
We can now make much better use of all the data we collect. SAS' statistical discovery tools give us the ability to interpret the data more clearly and this will make us better equipped to address the threats to Australia's wildlife. So SAS has now become a great supporter of biodiversity conversation here in Australia, as it is elsewhere in the world.
Dr Sarah Legge
National Conservation and Science Manager, AWC
The first step in reaching that understanding is collecting data on our flora and fauna and a wide array of environmental attributes that are linked to their persistence and abundance. The second step is being able to analyse these data effectively to identify and understand trends, monitor their direc-tion, and fix problems before they occur.
The volume of information accumulated by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) over the years is enormous, and dealing with the deluge of information presents a challenge in its own right. The work of analysing it has now been accelerated by software tools such as JMP, statistical discovery software from SAS, the leader in business analytics software and services, and the largest independent vendor in the business intelli-gence market.
JMP is being used by a team led by Dr. Sarah Legge, who is the AWC's National Conservation and Science Manager. She says of JMP, "I had worked with it before and so I was already a convert." She was also well aware of its beneficial use by the AWC's partner, The Nature Conservancy.
Founded in 2001, the Australian Wildlife Conservancy is a private, non-government organisation dedicated to the conservation of Australian wildlife and their habitats. It achieves this by:
- Establishing wildlife sanctuaries
- Implementing on-ground programs such as feral animal control, fire management, and translocations of threatened species.
- Carrying out research to help address key threats to wildlife.
- Hosting educational visitor programs at the sanctuaries.
The organisation is funded largely by tax-deductible donations, and support from other private foundations, as well as government. Impressively, more than 90 percent of donations is spent on conservation programs in the field and less than 10 percent on fundrais-ing and administration. Over three quarters of staff are based in the field.
AWC sanctuaries are spread across the nation in areas such as far north Queensland, The Kimberley, western New South Wales, The Northern Territory and the southern forests of Western Australia.
In all, AWC's 21 sanctuaries cover over 2.5 million hectares and are home to 60 percent of all Australian non-marine mammal species and 80 percent of all Australian mainland bird species.One of the AWC's sanctuaries — Mornington Wildlife Sanctuary — lies in the central Kimberley and protects over 330 different birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals and more than 700 different plant species. Of these, nine bird species and six mammal species are considered by the state and federal governments as being in danger of extinction. Many of the vegetation communities in the sanctuary are not protected any-where else.
Dr. Legge and her team have been gathering data on Mornington's wildlife for six years. One of their focal species is the Gouldian Finch – of which there are believed to be fewer than 2,500 adults remaining in the wild. Mornington protects one of the largest remaining populations of this exquisite bird.
Dr. Legge and her colleagues will use JMP to make meaning out of the large quantities of data collected, including population abundance, health trends, and habitat use. The aim is to ensure the survival of this tiny and exotically colourful creature for future generations.
By utilising JMP, AWC researchers can expect to arrive at more reliable conclusions faster and more accurately than was previously possible.
This is because JMP gives users the ability to view and manipulate large quantities of data in a highly visual way. Complex and very large sets of numbers are transformed into easily digestible displays and analysis. Moreover, because the tools are robust, agile, simple and scalable, they are particularly ideal for the type of fieldwork in which the AWC is engaged.
In addition to focal studies on endangered species, data is also collected to measure the progress of land management programs such as fire management and weed and feral animal control.
Statistical discovery and analysis is also the starting point for translocation programs in which species are reintroduced into areas from which they had disappeared, once the threats to their survival have been adequately managed.
Dr. Legge sums up: "We can now make much better use of all the data we collect. SAS' statistical discovery tools give us the ability to interpret the data more clearly, and this will make us better equipped to address the threats to Australia's wildlife. So SAS has now become a great supporter of biodiversity conversation here in Australia, as it is elsewhere in the world."
The volume of information accumulated by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) over the years is enormous and dealing with the deluge of information presents a challenge in its own right.
By utilising SAS' Statistical discovery software AWC researchers can manipulate data and reach conclusions faster and more accurately than was previously possible.

ACCIDENTAL REPERTORY THEATER was founded in 2005 by Artistic Director John Strasberg as a practical expression of the Organic Creative Process, which he discovered. We were incorporated as a New York State not-for-profit corporation in 2006, and are a 501c3 tax exempt and registered New York State charitable organization. Our weekly professional workshop is a key component of our life as a company, providing an opportunity for each participant to work on his or her creative process, but also helping to establish a common vocabulary and way of working. A major achievement of our first years of existence is the "World of Writers" (WOW) program, whose first segment was devoted to the life and works of Tennessee Williams. Featuring participants from our professional workshop, this 45 minute presentation has been presented to junior high school and high school students, and elsewhere in NYC, and was a featured seminar in our inaugural season in the fall of 2008. Since 2008, our play development program has identified promising new works and provided readings by company participants and others, possibly leading to further developmental productions. In the summer of 2009 we offered a five-week program for 7-10 actors, featuring training in audition technique, preparation, organic script analysis, movement, voice, and scene technique. ART's productions are dedicated to our philosophy of doing theater that is entertaining and provocative, with actors whose creative process is deeply personal and truthful, in the tradition of the best American theater and acting.
JOHN STRASBERG's (writer/director) International career as actor, director, producer, designer, and writer, exemplifies and continues the artistic tradition of the Strasberg family. His revolutionary insights and discoveries in teaching, the Organic Creative Process, have gone beyond the systems and methods of the great teachers preceding him. All this marks him as a Renaissance man, and one of the foremost theater artists of his generation. He returned to New York, after directing and teaching in Europe for twelve years, opening John Strasberg Studios, an International Center for Creative Development and Theater Arts Research in 1996, in conjunction with the publication of his first book, Accidentally On Purpose: Reflections on Life, Acting and the Nine Natural Laws of Creativity. It is a deeply personal memoir that recounts the evolution and discovery of the Organic Creative Process. A documentary, also titled, Accidentally On Purpose, won Best Education Documentary at the Los Angeles International Independent Film Festival in 2000, as well as winning several Honorable Mentions awards in other festivals. He has conceived, designed, and directed major, award-winning productions of Pirandello, Ibsen, O'Neill, Lope de Vega, and Beckett, among others. In Europe since 1983, most recently productions of Shakespeare's, Richard III, Aristophanes, The Assemblywomen, in Spain, the latter as a musical play for the Festival de Merida, and Cyrano de Bergerac. In 2005 he founded the Accidental Repertory Theater (ART). In New York, in the mid-1980's he cofounded the Mirror Repertory Company directed, Paradise Lost by Clifford Odets, Inheritors by Susan Glaspell, Rain, Vivat! Vivat! Regina!, and Ghosts by Ibsen, working with artists like Geraldine Page, whom he met at the Actors' Studio, where he worked alongside her, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Al Pacino, Marilyn Monroe, Dustin Hoffman, Robert DeNiro, Harvey Keitel, Elia Kazan, and many others, now famous, actors and directors. He also co-directed Alice in Wonderland on Broadway with Eva LeGallienne. He had schools in New York and Paris, in the 1980's. Aside from John Strasberg Studios, and ART, he teaches, directs, and lectures in many countries, at the National Theater in London, the Centro Dramatico in Madrid, Spain, the National Theater in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the National Film Board in Canada, and in Italy, Germany, Norway, England, Peru, and several Universities in the United States like Yale, NYU, and The New School. He has developed productions using the actors trained at JSS, in Anna Weiss, a stage reading of La Ronde, and an evening of scenes from Chekhov, Astrov's Nightmare. Many of the actors belonging to the ART workshop have studied with him, either in his private classes, or in ART's workshop. Currently, he is developing productions for ART in NY, and has written several plays, Playing House, and Adams' Apples, inspired by the plays of Ibsen and Chekhov, respectively, as well as a musical play, The Shooting Party, adapted by him from the only full-length novel written by Anton Chekhov. He also wrote the lyrics. In the fall of 2011, ART will produce his new play, The Good Morning American, Johnny Johnson Dream Show.

This marks Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. officially pulling out of the OCaml market as our remaining OCaml products (such as the OCaml for Scientists book) require no on-going maintenance.
This change has, of course, come about due to a dramatic fall in our revenue from OCaml products since 2007. This is partly because we decided in 2007 to jump ship to Microsoft's new F# programming language. However, the same trend can be seen in the rate of posts to the OCaml mailing lists, which has fallen 60% since 2007 and has now reached its lowest level for a decade:
We blame the inability of OCaml's garbage collector to allow threads to run in parallel as the primary reason for this mass exodus. OCaml was an awesome tool in the late 1990s and, by 2004, many people were finding the OCaml language from benchmark results that showed it to be one of the fastest languages available. Ironically, that was largely due to the superior performance of OCaml's garbage collector but that same garbage collector is now a serious impediment to parallel programming on today's multicore machines. Coupled with advancements like monomorphization on .NET and LLVM-based backends with vastly better code generation like GHC, OCaml has been left in the dust. Consequently, the majority of OCaml programmers who had chosen it for performance reasons (many of whom were research scientists) are leaving.
OCaml also suffers from several other problems including the cumbersome FFI that requires separate C stubs and the lack of a native-code REPL. However, all of these problems could be addressed by developing a new VM. Indeed, at only 2kLOC our own HLVM project has demonstrated just how easy LLVM makes it to build a new high-performance multicore-capable VM for OCaml-like languages. We believe a complete replacement could be developed in just a few months but, sadly, nobody has done any work on this beyond our own tentative attempts with HLVM.
On the other hand, there was never any onus on an academic institution to create such a useful tool in the first place so it is important to remember that OCaml was only valuable thanks to the hard work and dedication of its academic creators. Thanks INRIA!

The 2010 Lexus HS 250h is a comfortable luxury sedan with superb gas mileage, if you have the budget to indulge. While omitting many of the features can make the price more manageable, most options really add to the essence of the Lexus driving experience, especially the tech/navigation package, which we strongly recommend. The HS is positively the more comfortable of the two Lexus hybrids, but admittedly, a little less exhilarating.
The HS 250h felt more like a standard luxury car to us than our other Lexus Hybrid (the CT 200h), offering a softer, more comfortable suspension. This did detract however, from the fun-to-drive feeling significantly, as the HS 250H didn't boast the same nimble handling. Toyota's near-perfect hybrid system continued to wow us with its fluidity; the vehicle's practically silent transitions go unnoticed as the system elegantly balances the gas and electric power. Drivers can customize their driving experience by switching between power and eco modes. Despite its less-than-sporty feel, the HS 250h was quick, thanks to a larger motor than it's CT counterpart.
Our test Lexus came decked out with optional electronic features like a semi-transparent heads-up display that sits eye level suspended in the front windshield, and displays speed, as well as other steering-wheel mounted options so you don't need to look down. Optional (in the tech package) is front sonar collision warning, and adaptive cruise control. Similar to the Lexus CT 200h, the HS 250h tech package includes a fold-away LCD screen, which takes commands via a handy and intuitive haptic-feedback control joystick. Other notable features included a driver-position memory system, which remembers individual driver position settings,and automatically downward facing mirrors that reposition themselves when you're backing up. When it came to features, Lexus didn't leave out a single detail. We found ourselves comfortably tucked away no matter what seat we were in, but, like with the Toyota Corolla, there was somewhat less interior space than we expected given the larger exterior.

ANAHEIM – Children under age 14 will have to be accompanied by someone 14 or older to get into Disneyland and Disney California Adventure starting March 23.
The policy change is going into effect across Disney's American resorts, which previously had varying age policies.
"We regularly review all policies and identified an opportunity to provide a consistent age of admission and address a question we occasionally get from parents," said Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown.
The policy was not triggered by any specific issue with unaccompanied children in a park, she said.
Because most children under 14 do not have government-issued identification cards, the policy won't be enforced by ID checking. Employees will approach those who look young, and if the children are under 14, they will contact a parent or guardian.
Families with annual passes, some of whom routinely drop their children off at a park for the day, will be notified to ensure they know about the policy change, Brown said.

It's an Oz-themed weekend in central Florida, as Disney Co. rolls out its on-screen homage to the Wizard in the debut of the feature film 'Oz: The Great and Powerful.' Meanwhile, at the Epcot theme park, their annual flower festival features an Oz tribute with a pop-up garden of glass poppies. And on stage, 'Wicked,' the long-running Broadway prequel to the Wizard of Oz story wraps up a nearly three-week run at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Center, in Orlando, Sunday.
With so much Oz-centric culture being offered, it occurred to me: What would happen if I wired the backstage of the national-touring Broadway show with multiple cameras, a dozen angles and photographed the first day of the stage-build for the show's run at that Bob Carr? At the invitation of the Florida Theatrical Association, the local partner that brings national-touring Broadway shows to Orlando, I decided to find out during set-up for ' Wicked.'
Using three different cameras simultaneously to shoot time-lapse sequences --about 3,600 images per hour per camera-- I assembled a fast-forward, 1-minute glimpse of the remarkable afternoon in which a ballet of more of than 50 set and lighting designers, carpenters, movers, roadies, and staff transform the stage to the home-away-from-home of 'Wicked.' From offload to near-completion in a matter of hours, Team Wicked assembled the massive sets with breathtaking precision.

On Sunday afternoon Mike Smith will lead the Atlanta Falcons onto the field inside the Georgia Dome when they host the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship and battle for the right to represent the conference in Super Bowl XLVII.
Smith – a standout linebacker for East Tennessee State from 1978-81 – has enjoyed a lot of success in Atlanta after being named head coach in 2008. Over the last five seasons, Smith has compiled 57 wins and was named NFL Coach of the Year after guiding the Falcons to an 11-5 record in his first season at the helm.
During his time playing inside the Mini Dome, Smith etched his name into the Buccaneer record book as his 186 tackles in 1981 mark the most in program history. Smith was also a two-time Defensive MVP selection and considered one of the best players in the Southern Conference.
Earlier in the week, the ETSU Athletic Media Relations Department had a chance to catch up with former teammates and support staff members to reminisce about Smith as a player in the Blue and Gold. Below are their comments regarding Coach Smith.
Mike Brown – Linebacker – 1979-81
"I played a few seasons with Mike. I considered Mike a man among boys and looked to him as being an extension of the coaching staff. Mike is a great guy and a class act."
Steve Meyer – Center – 1977-80
"The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of Mike Smith is his intensity. I was the starting center and he was the starting linebacker, so it suited me just fine that we didn't have to face each other much since the first teamers didn't go head-to-head very often in practice. Mike's hitting ability was amazing and he was a very smart player. It should be no surprise regarding all the success Mike has brought to the Atlanta Falcons, because he has surrounded himself with great people and I'm a firm believer cream rises to the top. I'm very happy for Mike and he's a great person."
Barry Reed – Kicker – 1980-81
"I don't know if Mike was too fond of me since collegiate and professional kickers don't seem to be part of the team until it comes down to kicking a game winning field goal, but after last week's win over Seattle I'm sure his feelings have changed.
"I've considered Mike one of the best linebackers to wear the Blue and Gold and the best in the Southern Conference. He was a 100-percent physical football player and almost impossible to get off the field. He was always one of the first players to arrive at practice and the last to leave. Mike was always around the defensive coaches trying to learn from them and would even give his input. He is the true definition of a football player and a coach's dream."
Jerry Robertson – ETSU Athletic Trainer – 1965-2003
"Mike had the true characteristics of a student-athlete. When I say that, I mean he was a good student, well-liked on campus, and also worked hard on the field. Mike is not only a good football coach, but a better person. He's very interested in helping others. It's not just about winning football games for Mike, because he takes great pride in helping people.
"Mike knew what it meant to play with some discomfort and pain, and I don't remember him missing a lot of practice or games. He was a physically and mentally tough linebacker. I know at times he played with discomfort and pain, but he wasn't a training room toy. Mike wanted to play the game and play to the best of his ability. His success with the Falcons and throughout his coaching career is not a surprise. Mike always worked to be the best and gave everything he had."
Coach Lee Morrow – ETSU Strength and Conditioning Coach – 1982-present
"The first time I met Mike was when he was a captain of the 1981 football team. I was coaching at Milligan at the time, but I held a graduate assistantship here at ETSU. I was able to rub shoulders with the football coaches and they would always say Mike was a tough player and a strong leader. My first impression of him was a hardworking type of player. Mike was a regular-type person and the scenario he has achieved in his coaching career is exhilarating, because just to see a regular, hardworking individual reach the pinnacle of the NFL coaching profession is great."
Prior to taking over in Atlanta, Smith put in hard work both at the collegiate and professional ranks. However, after spending time with San Diego State, Morehead State, Tennessee Tech, the Baltimore Ravens, and the Jacksonville Jaguars, Smith finally got his chance when Arthur Blank (Falcons Team Owner/Chairman) hired the hardworking linebacker and the move has resulted in huge dividends. Entering the 2012 season, Smith and the Falcons have generated the NFL's fifth-best record.
Smith and the Falcons hope to "Rise Up" yet again Sunday afternoon when Atlanta looks to knock off the 49ers and reach the Super Bowl for the first time since 1998.

Corsair Neutron Series GTX SSD Firmware Testing ResultsPublished on05/14/2013
ByMike Clements
Replacing your mechanical hard drive with fast, reliable solid-state storage is a smart performance upgrade, and Force Series LX SSDs help make it easy. They have a slim 7mm form factor for compatibility with thin and light notebooks as well as standard desktop systems. SATA 3 support provides optimal speed on the latest systems, and backward compatibility with SATA 2 also makes them ideal for upgrading older PCs.
Driver-free installation helps you get up and running faster, too. And, it includes Corsair SSD Toolbox, our exclusive software for managing your Corsair solid-state drive and maintaining its performance.
The performance of Force Series LX is optimized for the SATA 3 standard. Haven't yet moved to SATA 3? No problem. Like all Corsair components, Force Series LX SSDs are designed to last through several system upgrades. Adding a Force Series LX today means that you'll still get fast and dependable storage performance now, and your SSD will be ready for your next upgrade.
Force Series LX has a height of 7mm, so it will fit into the latest generation of thin and light notebook PCs. Of course, it works in standard desktop PCs, too.
Force Series LX SSDs feature support for the TRIM command under Windows® 7 and later. This allows them to store only the data they need and perform memory optimization to ensure the fastest possible write speeds.
Because SSDs have no moving parts, they can handle shock, vibration and temperature changes far in excess of traditional hard drives. That's important for desktop PCs, and essential for notebooks and laptops.
Traditional mechanical hard drives spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. This takes power, and generates noise and heat. Since SSDs have no moving parts, there's no noise or vibration, and the lower power consumption helps keep things cool inside your PC.
Corsair SSD Toolbox is our exclusive software for managing your Corsair solid state drive and maintaining its performance. It's a free download for owners of Corsair SSDs, and it works under Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
Much has been written about overprovisioning and its implementation on SSDs. In short, overprovisioning, or OP, is a portion of storage space on an SSD that is reserved for use only by the SSD controller. The three most common uses for this space are wear leveling, the replacement of bad blocks, and read-modify-writes. Overprovisioning serves to help increase both the longevity and performance of SSDs and it is a very common practice among SSD manufacturers.
However, some users would like to be able to buy their SSDs without the built in overprovisioning and make the decision to OP, or not to OP for themselves. They prefer the flexibility of deciding for themselves when to OP and how much space to use based on their specific needs. Corsair has announced and is now offering SSDs without this overprovisioned space.
Corsair SSDs with overprovisioning space typically have used 7% of the total SSD storage capacity. This means that users now have a choice with these new drives to use them with or without overprovisioning. Users can manually overprovision the drives if they wish or, they can leave them at their full capacity with no overprovisioning and enjoy the extra space.
For users of 256GB SSDs, this means they can have an extra 16GB of storage capacity on their drive over the equivalent 240GB overprovisioned SSD. Of course, RAID users will benefit even more as the number of drives is increased.
In reading some of that aforementioned information about overprovisioning, I've found a great deal of very useful information over at Anandtech. Here's a diagram from one of Anand's SSD articles highlighting how overprovisioning works.
Our initial offerings in the non-OP drive arena are in the Force Series GS and the Neutron Series with more to come. For more information on our SSD lineup, please visit our Corsair website SSD page.
To OP, or not to OP. That is the question. Whether tis nobler to the PC performance...
Corsair proudly brings you the Corsair SSD Toolbox. This helpful utility provides users with several powerful and useful tools for use with Corsair SSDs. Let's take a look. Download the Corsair SSD Toolbox HERE.
The Corsair SSD Toolbox will run on:
We have provided a detailed help file which can be accessed by clicking on the question mark symbol shown here circled in red on the upper left side of the screen.
After you select firmware update the tool will scan your drive and check for firmware updates. If there is an update available, the dialogue will prompt you to update the firmware or cancel the operation.
Note: Firmware updates can only be executed when the SSD controller is in AHCI mode. Firmware updating via this toolbox is enabled for The Corsair Series Force 3, Force Series GT, Force Series GS, Neutron Series, and Neutron Series GTX SSDs. Earlier and EOL Corsair drives with firmware updates can be updated manually using the tools supplied on our website.
Note: Corsair recommends that users update their OS drive as attached storage when possible. Some systems will require the SSD to be disconnected briefly before the new firmware version will appear in the Drive Information window.
Additional functions can be activated with the column of buttons down the left side of the toolbox. Corsair is now producing SSDs that do not have factory overprovisioning. For users that desire to manually overprovision their drives, we have provided a function for this. Overprovisioning your drive can contribute to maintaining better performance and adding longevity to your SSD.
