Amid the elation of Brendan Rodgers' first league win as Liverpool manager there was cause for concern.
Luis Suárez scored a hat-trick but should, not for the first time this season, also have had a penalty after being bundled over by Norwich City's Leon Barnett.
Liverpool's subsequent ruthlessness in front of goal reduced the incident to no more than a footnote as far as the result was concerned, but the issue has the potential for a wider resonance. Rodgers, who spoke to Mike Riley, head of the Professional Game Match Officials, last week to outline his concerns about refereeing performances, admitted he is concerned that Suárez's reputation may be influencing officials.
"There is that fear," he said. "There are players, attacking players who go down at times. I could tell you about three or four strikers who go down in the box with very minimal contact and all of them have had penalties this year.
"I can't worry too much about it. It's something that hopefully the referees, when they analyse and assess their own performance, they have a look at it. We just have to concentrate on building our game, developing our football, and hopefully these penalties that we don't get won't come back to haunt us."
Officiating has been a bugbear for Liverpool and Suárez this campaign, but if they continue to perform as they did here it will not be a season-spoiling issue. The Uruguayan's hat-trick was his second in two visits to Norwich and the catalyst for a dominant away performance. His second goal, just before half-time, was particularly special.
Michael Turner, handed the ball in uncomfortable circumstances on the edge of the area, was pickpocketed, nutmegged then given the best view in the house of Suárez's majestic finish with the outside of his boot.
"He's a special player, he's a wonderful player with great enthusiasm for the game," said Rodgers of the striker. "He doesn't get the rub of the green from officials, there's absolutely no question. Everyone today would have seen that. But we don't complain, we keep working and keep playing like that, and we'll be alright."
The starting XI was Liverpool's youngest in the best part of a decade. The presence of Suso, Andre Wisdom – both making first league starts – and Raheem Stirling meant the Reds kicked-off with three teenagers in their side, while last week 16-year-old Jerome Sinclair became the club's youngest ever player when introduced as a substitute in the Capital One Cup.
"A lot of people talk about the academies and players coming through but you still need to have a manager who has the bottle and puts his neck on the line by giving them a chance, and the manager has done that from day one," said the Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard. "He said to them from day one if they showed the right attitude and application in training he would give them a chance and they are doing well. We have a good mix of youth and experience and we as senior players will help guide them and show them the right way."
Second-half sloppiness led to two Norwich consolation goals – meaning that Liverpool have now gone nine Premier League games without a clean sheet – but the overall impression was one of utter dominance. Nuri Sahin, who scored the third, was hugely impressive at the tip of the midfield triangle, and Gerrard, who added the fifth, gave an intriguingly atypical understated display in the deeper role.
That could all give Rodgers a selection headache when Lucas Leiva returns to fitness in November. Norwich's concerns, on the other hand, run a little further than where their first win is going to come from. A trip to Stamford Bridge is next up before Arsenal visit Carrow Road.
"We knew this run of games would be tough and I'd have liked a few more points on the board," said the Norwich captain, Russell Martin. "We deserved a few more. That is why we are in the league. It should not be too hard to motivate the lads going to the European champions. We look forward to it." So, if the evidence of this Norwich display is anything to go by, will Chelsea.

* The tentative interleague schedule for 2011 has the Padres in Fenway Park and the Twins' new ballpark in Minneapolis. The Red Sox series is a bonus of sorts as the Padres weren't scheduled to face the American League East next year. Going forward, the Padres should try to change out of the "natural rivalry" with the Mariners. There's no sizzle there.
* David Eckstein hit the ball sharply in early batting practice today, but he is still slowed by a calf strain. "He is four or five days from (attempting a) full sprint," said manager Bud Black.
* The Padres used the disabled list (or was it the deception list?) to buy extra rest for Mat Latos and later with Oscar Salazar to fix a roster snag. So, why not use the DL to replace Matt Stairs, who is batting .182 with a .247 on-base percentage? Admittedly, pinch-hitting is exceptionally difficult, yet it seems like Aaron Cunningham has more to offer. The DL would allow the Padres to retain Stairs, who reportedly is a mentor to several players, then activate him when the roster expands in September. With the addition of Ryan Ludwick, the Padres supposedly became more capable against right-handed pitching, which supposedly was a big part of why Stairs was signed last offseason.

Mexico's unexpected Hollywood star
Actor and director Eugenio Derbez's latest movie hasn't even debuted in Mexican cinemas yet but he is all over the newspapers.
That's because Derbez's low-budget movie, Instructions Not Included, is a crossover bilingual hit and has already opened in U.S. theaters, grossing more than $26 million to date.
It is on target to becoming one of the 10 highest grossing foreign movies ever in the United States. According to this box office site, it's now shown in 933 theaters and ranked 6th over the past weekend. It's already surpassed the gross of the last Mexican hit, Like Water for Chocolate (1989).
Few expected such a feat from Derbez, a longtime comic actor more known for his work for the Televisa network than feature films. This is how El Universal opened a profile of him in its Sunday magazine (behind paywall) yesterday:
"Few believed that he'd ever have a hit movie. They said his projects were too 'Televisa' and that his name didn't belong on movie marquees."
The movie has a different name in Spanish, 'No Se Aceptan Devoluciones,' which translates as Returns Not Accepted. It doesn't open in Mexico till Sept. 20.
The movie is about a playboy from Acapulco who suddenly finds a young daughter he never knew he fathered dropped in his lap. Father and daughter move to Los Angeles and struggle to get by.
Much of the Mexican press on the movie deals with Derbez's desperate search to find someone to play the role of his child. He sought a boy but couldn't find a blond, blue-eyed completely bilingual boy. In frustration, he tweeted the requirements for a boy or girl. That's when 9-year-old Loreto Peralta showed up. She fit the physical requirements and spoke fluent English from spending summers in the United States.
The Los Angeles Times published a feature on Derbez last week, touching on how "entertainment companies, media outlets and advertising agencies have increasingly devoted resources to capturing a share of the growing Spanish-dominant and bilingual audience."
It's been a tough struggle. Even hit actor Will Ferrell, who starred in the 2012 movie Casa de mi Padre, failed to hit the mark. That film didn't even gross $6 million.
Producers "mounted a bilingual advertising campaign for the movie, both on Univision, the giant U.S. Spanish-language TV network, and with billboard, radio and print advertising in English and Spanish," the Times report says.
Between word of mouth and the advertising campaign, it definitely brought results.

Lest you think I was stretched out on the sofa in front of the telly 24/7, stuffing myself with junk food, here's the Short List of what happened during that time:
- Shortly after uploading the photo tour of Davenport OK, my car broke down on the interstate and had to have major surgery (a new transmission).
- While the car was out of commission, I packed up my treasured flat "in the trees" in KS to move to Oklahoma where I...
- ...became the live-in Granny Nanny (also cook, laundress and dishwasher) for Son and Family.
- After getting the last of my things from storage in KS, we returned to a nearly-empty house (robbed!).
- My non-driving Dau-in-Law landed a night-shift job in a town 28 miles away, so I then became Taxi Mom (28 miles X4 every night and pre-dawn for several weeks - exhausting!).
- D-i-L was promoted, which required living much closer to her job, so we found a (seemingly) "perfect" rental house in that town and we all moved.
- During the packing up, my laptop was dropped in shutting-down mode, requiring an expensive 2-day trip to the Computer Hospital for a new hard drive.
- That house turned out to be a drafty, utilities nightmare so...
- ...we moved again 2 weeks later.
- At the new house, thanks to an inept AT&T rep, we were (mostly) without internet access for 10 days. (NetZero dial-up "high speed" internet is a JOKE...a total waste of time to TRY to get anywhere online.)
Davenport OK on Route 66
Robbed! Pros and Cons
Have a great day!

In case you haven't yet heard, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 service pack 1 was released on April 7. This milestone is especially significant for those of you who could not previously deploy the latest SQL Server release because your organization has a "not before the first service pack" policy. I want to go on record as one who believes that such a policy is flawed and has needlessly delayed many organizations from using the new SQL Server 2008 features.
There is nothing magical about the first service pack compared to the initial RTM release with regards to production readiness. SQL Server releases nowadays are scheduled based quality rather than just hitting a date. Buggy features will be dropped from a release rather than included and in need of a service pack. I'm not saying that every SQL Server release is flawless but the number of serious bugs (e.g. corruption or wrong results) are few, thanks to internal testing by Microsoft as well as those in the community that kick the tires with the pre-release CTP bits.
It's understandable that those who are risk-adverse might wait until after the first service pack with the belief that other adopters may have smoothed out the bumps in the road a bit. I can see how postponing installation in this way might mitigate some of the risk but SP1 is a completely arbitrary milestone that is a hold-over from before SQL 7 was released over a decade ago. I think a better approach is to adopt new releases based on quality as determined in one's own environment. Whether the target is a new SQL Server installation or an upgrade of an existing instance, one still needs to perform testing before installing any new version, service pack or patch in production. It is those test results that should determine production readiness, not the results of SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel').

CAIR Leaders Defend Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood President
CAIR-LA Director Hussam Alyoush pictured with Sheikh Qaradawi, spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood
Via IPT:
[W]hile Egyptians take to the streets to oppose what they claim is a nascent tyranny, Morsi and his Islamist government can count on support from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). For example, CAIR-Los Angeles boss Hussam Ayloush praised Morsi for assuming more power in order to prevent "corrupt judges" from the "undermining and undoing of every democratic step."
In a Facebook post, Ayloush blamed Egypt's internal strife on the secular opposition: "Much of the Egyptian opposition seem to be more interested in opposing Morsi and the MB than actually helping Egypt become a stable and institutional democracy,"
CAIR-New York's Cyrus McGoldrick disparaged criticism of Morsi as "a last stand by old pro-West/Mubarak/Israel crowd to keep power in judiciary."
CAIR-San Francisco chief Zahra Billoo dismissed American concerns that the Islamist-backed draft constitution wouldn't protect human rights. "Why do we care about what the Egyptian Constitution says about indefinite detention, when it is being practiced by the U.S. government?" she wrote in a Twitter post Monday.

Alex Beam of the Boston Globe has an interesting column on the role being played by historian Douglas Brinkley as a chronicler of Johh Kerry's military service: "Historian's 'Duty': PR for Kerry?" We previously noted Chris Suellentrop's take on Brinkley's book in "Tour of Duty Condensed" and made a related point in "A Manchurian candidate?"
Yesteday Salon published a column partly adapted by Brinkley from his book on Kerry: "Why Kerry threw his ribbons." Here you can see the flack in action for yourself. (Courtesy of Tom Bevan and RealClearPolitics Commentary.)

Hey Kids-
As far as the hacking world is concerned, i consider myself a newbie. I have experience in some programming languages including C and C++, python, javascript, and have just started to learn Perl(seems fairly simple). Also i ran linux on my dad's PC when i was like 16, does that count? Anyway my interests are pretty broad and i like to learn everything about everything and then some. and it seems like i've read almost every tutorial and textfile devoted to hacking in some way. But for me the only way to learn is through experience. So if anyone would like to take a pretty intelligent guy under their wing for a little while to do some really hacking, i would be much obliged.
By "real hacking" naturally i just mean finding gaps in security that could possibly be exploited. And correct me if i'm wrong, but i do believe exploiting security problems to get a better understanding and therefore patch up mistakes is often referred to as "hacking" as well. Sorry for the little mixup.
EDIT#2....just so ya know
I'm still getting negative responses just because people take the wording wrong...hmm..how fair is that...Ok well just for ppl who hang on to Hollywood's definition of the word "hacker" i took an excerpt from webopedia.com:
"hacker Last modified: February 5, 2002
A slang term for a computer enthusiast, i.e., a person who enjoys learning programming languages and computer systems and can often be considered an expert on the subject(s). Among professional programmers, depending on how it used, the term can be either complimentary or derogatory, although it is developing an increasingly derogatory connotation. The pejorative sense of hacker is becoming more prominent largely because the popular press has coopted the term to refer to individuals who gain unauthorized access to computer systems for the purpose of stealing and corrupting data. Hackers, themselves, maintain that the proper term for such individuals is cracker."
There ya go...if people's minds are still closed after this then i do not want to be a part of this society. Especially if everyone's mind is trained to think ONE WAY and one way only.
BTW for the few that gave me positive reinforcement...thanks..at least some people have more than half a brain and don't get hung up on words and stereotypes.

Police: 2nd arrest made in stabbing of Steeler
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Police say they've arrested a second suspect in the weekend stabbing of Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Mike Adams.
Police spokeswoman Diane Richard says 26-year-old Dquay Means was arrested Monday on charges of attempted homicide, aggravated assault and conspiracy. Police announced Monday that 25-year-old Michael Paranay had been arrested on the same charges. Both are from Pittsburgh.
Richard says a third suspect is still being sought.
The 23-year-old Adams was stabbed twice early Saturday during an attempted car-jacking on the city's South Side. He suffered non-life threatening wounds to the abdomen and forearm.
No attorneys for Means and Paranay were listed on court papers. There was no answer at a phone listing for Paranay and a listing for Means couldn't be found.
Preliminary hearings are scheduled for June 12 and 13.

NBC blaming Putin for Bob Costas' pink eye?
Sports anchor Bob Costas will miss a second straight day after NBC pulled its Olympic desker due to a pair of serious – disturbing? – eye infections.
One of NBC's Twitter accounts notified viewers Tuesday morning that the legendary host has been replaced until further notice.
"We're going to the bullpen and you're Mariano Rivera," Costas told NBC co-anchor Matt Lauer, who will host primetime and late night now.
Costas' red eyes have been an online sensation this week (see below) as viewers took to the web to mock and make fun of the teary-eyed host.
Asked who he thought was to blame for his colleague's misfortune, Lauer told NBC it must have been Russian president Vladamir Putin.
Before the Olympic Games opened in Sochi late last week, Costas appeared to be battling a small case of pink eye.
To be blunt, the 61-year-old looked like something out of a Cheech and Chong film on Monday, the whites of his eyes now red as the infection seemingly spread.
Nevertheless, Costas appeared to still be in good spirits this week.
He dropped this line Monday night in an appearance with NBC's Mary Carillo.
"I'm not really a vodka guy, but look at it this way: my eyes can't get any redder, no matter what I do."
Costas has been the face of many Olympic broadcasts, beginning in 1992 when the Summer Games were held in Barcelona, Spain.
He'll be the face of these Games for an entirely different reason.
Aside from the fact that he obviously doesn't age, Bob Costas, the (allegedly) 61-year-old broadcaster, has largely sidestepped major controversy in his three-decade career.
But that doesn't mean there haven't been uncomfortable, intense and otherwise unforgettable moments in front of the camera. A few such instances include:
1. On an HBO interview show he hosted in 2001, Bob Costas took wrestling honcho Vince McMahon to task over the "bad taste" of his television programs, specifically the sexually charged content. McMahon looked at one point like he was going to attack his interviewer. "You want to let me finish for a second, pal?" he said when Costas interrupted him. "Shut your mouth and let me answer the question."
2. In perhaps the creepiest TV interview ever, Costas spoke by phone with Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State football coach who was charged (and later convicted) of sexually assaulting boys he'd met through a charity he founded to help underprivileged kids. Sandusky's answers were just weird, and even Costas looked creeped out as the interview progressed.
3. Costas drew criticism and support after challenging America's pro-gun culture on an NFL broadcast in 2012. Kansas City Chiefs player Jovan Belcher had just killed his girlfriend and then shot himself when Costas spoke out. He quoted a newspaper columnist in suggesting "our current gun culture" will make more domestic disputes and common conflicts end in shooting deaths.

Wednesday, Ryan Evans was found guilty of second degree murder and child abuse resulting in death on Oct. 4.
Today the jury recommended he be sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of child abuse resulting in death and an additional 30 years for the murder conviction.
Evans was charged in the 2006 death of 15-month-old Skyler Barrett, who was living with his mother Dasha and Evans when he died on Oct. 23, 2006. Evansand was arrested May 9, 2007.
Evans will have a sentencing hearing at 9 a.m. December 4.
Under questioning by Prosecutor Susan Boresi, St. Louis medical examiner Dr. Mary Case said the injuries, in her opinion, caused Skyler's death and were made by "a very forceful impact."
During the trial, Nick Barrett (Skyler's father), Jeff and Tricia Barrett (grandparents), and Robert and Linda Myers (grandparents) all testified that they had spent much time with Skyler, and that he never showed any bruises, bleeding or other injuries until he started living with Dasha and Ryan Evans in Waynesville, starting when Dasha moved back to Missouri from Indiana in August 2006.
The trial was moved to Phelps County on a change of venue on June 17, 2011.
Jury recommends life in prison for Evans

Cameron Diaz: Afraid of Knobs
Cameron Diaz may seem carefree in most of her movies, but the "Charlie's Angels" star gets grossed out by door handles and refuses to touch them with her bare hands. Instead, she uses her elbows to turn the knobs. While she claims she's not a germaphobe, she sounds like one to us. Cameron's in good company, however, as there are many celebrities who've confessed to strange phobias and obsessions through the years.
Whoopi Goldberg: Afraid of Flying
Whoopi Goldberg seems to have her act together. Currently the moderator on "The View," Whoopi is an Oscar, Grammy, Tony, Golden Globe, and Emmy-winning actress and comedian, and she seems genuinely loved and respected by her peers. But up until recently, Whoopi had a debilitating fear of flying and would travel across country in her own bus when she needed to go coast to coast. When Goldberg's "Sister Act" became a musical and was set to debut in London's West End, it became clear that the bus was not an option. She agreed to have representatives from Virgin Atlantic's Flying Without Fear program help her address her phobia. And not only has Whoopi gone to London to support her show, she's also made surprise visits to her family and trips to Las Vegas to perform at the Encore Theater (which had been dark since the unexpected death of headliner Danny Gans).
Billy Bob Thornton: Afraid of Antiques
It's not surprising that Billy Bob Thornton is a quirky guy (do we have to remind everyone that he and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie used to wear vials of each other's blood around their necks?), but B.B. has a phobia that's even odd by his standards. The actor says he's "creeped out" by antique furniture, and not so much American antiques as French Antiques. Billy is so fearful of being near the "castle-y" (as he calls them) artifacts that he says he can't sleep or eat near them and makes sure to call ahead to hotels to ensure that there are none in his suite before he checks in.
Daniel Radcliffe: Afraid of Clowns
You'd think a guy who's gone head-to-head with Dementors and He Who Shall Not Be Named wouldn't be afraid of anything anymore. But Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the world's most powerful wizard, has a fear of clowns. And he's not the only famous coulrophobic star: Johnny Depp and P. Diddy dread the circus entertainers, too.
Nicole Kidman: Afraid of Butterflies
You'd think a delicate actress like Nicole Kidman would find beauty in the fragility of a butterfly. But she's actually terrified of them. Growing up in the Australian countryside, Nic says she would sometimes come home from school to find a giant butterfly on her front gate, and she'd take a circuitous route over the fence and around the side of the house to avoid the insect. As an adult she's gone so far as to walk into the American Museum of Natural History's butterfly cage and allow the butterflies to cover her. But she still can't shake the fear.
Sarah Michelle Gellar: Afraid of Graveyards
Oh, the irony. Sarah Michelle Gellar, the star of TV's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" has a fear of graveyards and admits that she's had nightmares of being buried alive. Lucky for her, the set-dressing wizards on "Buffy" were able to create phony grave sites so that Gellar never had to shoot in a real cemetery.
Madonna: Afraid of Thunder
If Lourdes, Rocco, David, and Mercy James get freaked out by thunder and lighting storms, they're going to have to sing "My Favorite Things" all by themselves. Their mother, Madonna, probably wouldn't be of much use helping the kids get over any anxiety about nature's racket: the Material Girl is profoundly afraid of thunder.
Christina Ricci: Afraid of Indoor Plants
If you're going over to Christina Ricci's place and want to bring a little hostess gift, get her a bottle of wine or a nice scented candle. Do NOT get her a houseplant. She's notoriously afraid of indoor greenery, calling the plants dirty and allegedly getting freaked out if she has to touch one.
Matthew McConaughey: Afraid of Tunnels and Revolving Doors
You'd probably guess that Matthew McConaughey is afraid of shirts, since he seems to wear them so infrequently. But Matthew actually has two irrational fears: tunnels and revolving doors. He says he doesn't fear the whole tunnel experience, just the moment of entry when it's difficult to see beyond the first ten feet. As for revolving doors, McConaughey says he feels anxious just getting near them. Maybe that's why he spends so much time outdoors.
Kim Kardashian: Obsessed With Q-Tips
No one likes a dirty ear, but Kim Kardashian is apparently obsessed with making sure hers are sparkly clean. The reality TV star admits to being obsessed with Q-tips, confessing that she uses them at least five times every day.
Howie Mandel: Hates Shaking Hands
How does a game show host who has a fear of shaking hands greet his contestants? By doing the fist bump, of course. At least that's what the admitted germaphobe and OCD sufferer Howie Mandel does. But contrary to popular belief, Howie didn't create the modern hello. The pound can be traced back to Baltimore Bullets guard Fred Carter in the 1970s.

State Panel Suggests Putting California High-Speed Rail on Hold
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – A state-appointed panel said Tuesday that California's plan to build a high-speed rail system in the state is not financially feasible and should be placed on hold.
The report by the California High-Speed Rail Peer Review Group said the state should not authorize $2.7 billion in bonds to build the initial section of the system.
In November, the California High-Speed Rail Authority approved a plan that requests $2.7 billion in state bonds to match $3.5 billion in federal money. It would be used to build 130 miles of track between Chowchilla and Bakersfield.
The stretch of tracks would form an integral part of the line's first segment proposed to eventually span 290 miles from Bakersfield to San Jose or 300 miles from Merced to a point in the San Fernando Valley.
The report criticized the authority for failing to identify a long-term funding source for the $25 to $30 billion needed to complete either of those segments. The authority also failed to specify which of the two segments should be initiated first, according to the report.
The report also said the authority's business plan was incomplete and its staffing was inadequate to manage a large construction project.
The total cost of the project has more than doubled to $98 billion since voters approved $9 billion in bonds in 2008.
The authority responded by calling the report "deeply flawed" and misleading. It said the report's conclusions could place the $3.5 billion in federal funding at risk and jeopardize future funding. Other major infrastructure projects also don't have fully identified funding sources at the start, the authority said.
The California Labor Federation also criticized the report. It defended the rail line, saying it would generate thousands of jobs and should not be delayed.
Proponents envision that the trains, traveling at up to 220 mph, would help transform the state's economy by relieving congestion on clogged highways, allowing quicker travel between metropolitan areas and generating much-needed construction jobs.
But last month, California's high-speed rail officials backed off claims that the bullet train would create more than 1 million jobs.
And in November, the state's legislative analyst said California's plan for a $98 billion high-speed rail system does not comply with some parts of the 2008 ballot measure voters approved to provide the seed money. The analyst said the stretch would not be a stand-alone operating segment of the high-speed rail line, as required by Proposition 1A.
Some lawmakers in both major parties now say the Legislature should rethink spending voter-approved bonds toward the high-speed rail system.
State Sen. Doug LaMalfa, R- Richvale, praised the review group's recommendation. He said the state couldn't afford high-speed rail and its actual costs would far exceed any benefits.
The senator said he would introduce a bill to put the project's funding on the ballot and let voters have another opportunity to weigh in.
The rail line would be built in two phases. The first would extend from San Francisco to Los Angeles and Anaheim; the second would extend the line to Sacramento in the north and San Diego in the south.

More than 28% of all trucks registered in the United States are now equipped with advanced new technology clean diesel engines, according to new data compiled by R.L. Polk and Company for the Diesel Technology Forum.
The data includes registration information on Class 3-8 trucks from 2007 through 2012 in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Beginning in 2007, all heavy-duty diesel trucks sold had to meet particulate emissions levels of 0.01 grams per brake horse-power hour, a level near zero. Today 2.5 million of 8.6 million commercial trucks on the road, now have this technology, using either exhaust gas recirculation technology or catalytic reduction technology.
"The fact that more than 28% of all trucks on U.S. roads today are new technology diesel engines with near zero emissions is significant for the environment and the trucking industry," said Allen Schaeffer, the executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum.
Regionally, the Midwest has the highest percent of new diesel trucks, 31%, followed by the South at 29.8%, the Northeast at 29.1% and the West at 26%.
DTF says emissions from today's diesel trucks and buses are near zero due to more efficient engines, more effective emissions control technology and the nationwide availability of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel.
"The new clean diesel technology has reduced emissions from heavy-duty diesel trucks and buses by 99% for nitrogen oxides and 98% for particulate emissions," said Schaeffer.
He also noted that 2010 and later model trucks are experiencing an average of 3% to 5% improvement in fuel economy while new diesel technology and ultra-low sulfur diesel are benefitting many of the older diesel trucks built before 2007.
The Diesel Technology Forum is a non-profit national organization dedicated to raising awareness about diesel engines, fuel and technology.

Effort to save Belmont's historic Gale School gets good news and an allyBy JOHN KOZIOL
Union Leader Correspondent
November 16. 2017 8:29PM
BELMONT — As the clock ticks down to either demolition or relocation, a group working to save the historic Gale School is now reviewing a purchase-and-sales agreement under which the Shaker Regional School District would sell the structure for $1 and also provide money to move it.
Located directly behind the Belmont Middle School and a literal stone's throw from the Shaker Regional offices on School Street, the Gale School — which was built in 1894 and last used as a school in 1985 — has been the subject of numerous preservation efforts.
But those efforts are seemingly coming to an end, with the school district saying it wants the Gale School gone by the start of the 2018-19 school year.
On Wednesday, Diane Marden, president of the nonprofit group Save Our Gale School, said she had just received a draft P&S agreement whose main points were the $1 price tag and the promise that the $71,000 that had previously been allocated for tearing down the school would be used to move it to a new lot.
The lot would have to be acquired and voters would have to ratify the property transfer at the 2018 School District Meeting.
Marden said the school district has apparently changed its mind on a $5,000 deposit, making it refundable should SOGS complete its acquisition of the Gale School.
During an interview last week, Marden said SOGS hopes to raise a yet-to-be determined amount to move the school, adding that it may seek an injunction to prevent its destruction.
Several contractors have already offered their services to help move the Gale School, but Marden hopes more will come forward, especially those who can help pour a concrete-foundation at the new site.
Marden attended the Gale School as did many members of her family and said the school has a special place in her heart.
That sentiment is shared by others, including those at the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance which earlier this month named the Gale School to its "Seven to Save" list.
The Gale School should be saved, said the Alliance, because it is running out of time, while Marden added that "It's solid and it hasn't been altered over the years. It's an icon in Belmont."
Apart from the school-district money to move the Gale School, all other funds are being raised through donations, said Marden.
Information about tax deductible donations is available at www.belmontnh.net/GaleSchoolSAVE.html and belmontnh.homestead.com.
Although not a member of SOGS, Woody Fogg, who has worked with Marden and Ken Knowlton for many years on saving the Gale School, said it is possible to move it up and over the existing ballfields at the Belmont Middle School to a new site on Route 106, although SOGS would ideally prefer to move to a lot that is closer.
A retired professional civil engineer, Fogg said not only can the school be physically moved, but that once it is moved the Laconia Area Community Land Trust is interested in putting it back into use.
"There are still a lot of moving pieces," said Fogg, but the good news is that some of them are falling into place.

SunTouch = Zero EMF
An emerging issue in the electric radiant heat industry is EMF (electromagnetic field) radiation. SunTouch pioneered and sells only ZERO EMF products constructed with active dual wire EMF-canceling technology.
All SunTouch products use a complex wire construction with two heating elements in parallel with an added and patented helical twist to eliminate EMF. Other electric radiant floor heating companies sell single-wire systems that release high levels of EMF when compared to SunTouch.
What is EMF? Electromagnetic fields (EMF) come from all electrical appliances, but studies show an average American's daily exposure is less than 1 unit (mG) of EMF. But. when you sit on an unshielded electric radiant floor, you may be exposed to 20, 40, or more times the average daily exposure. This Data comes from Independent testing. Read More Here
Is limiting exposure to EMF important? No one is certain. The World Health Organization says the data is inconclusive to date, but continues their research. We provide this EMF information because it is important to some people, not to frighten you or exaggerate any risk.
For many years customers have chosen SunTouch Zero EMF systems, but we leave the choice to you after explaining what we do know.

Recommended product, great buyWorks as advertised - I put this in our bathroom and keeps the floor warm --just as expected.
Very affordable pricing, in fact the best price I found on the web. There are helpful instructions - both from the manufacturer and also tips on the seller's website. Prompt shipping, product arrived in good condition.
Almost got it rightThe mat itself worked, was as advertised and had very quick shipping and handling. The packing list and instructions were hilariously crumpled into a paper ball and thrown into the box. The box itself came heavily damaged, but everything worked and at the cheapest price on the internet.
Awesome product.I have the 7.5' by 2' SunTouch mat that I installed when I redid my master bathroom with a porcelain tire floor. I also installed the programmable t-stat. The system works great. Makes the floor nice a toasty. One piece of advice it to make sure you cover every part of the floor you may walk/stand on as the heat does not transfer well to...

Administrator recommends closing Derry's Taylor LibraryBY ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent
April 02. 2013 10:31PM
DERRY - The proposed town administrator's municipal budget for fiscal year 2014 includes a plan to close the Taylor Library in East Derry.
The move is already raising questions among a number of East Derry residents.
The total budget for the Taylor Library in the revised fiscal year 2013 budget is $171,303. The overall budget for the Derry Public Library in downtown Derry for the current fiscal year is $1,150,914, while the proposed budget for fiscal year 2014 is $1,273,869.
"This budget eliminates funding for the Taylor Library," said Town Administrator John Anderson. "I believe the Derry Public Library is better positioned and able to provide the services desired by our citizens today and in the future."
The public forum at Tuesday night's Town Council meeting had a wide mix of residents young and old speaking up about the positive role the library has played in their lives and the community.
"I've been a user of the Taylor Library since 1963 and now three generations of my family are users of the Taylor Library," said Marjorie Palmer.
She said the library has operated continuously for 135 years. "We need to preserve the history entrusted to our care."
The library has five part-time and two full-time employees.
Former town councilor Paul Needham said his daughter began going to the Taylor Library almost from the day she was born.
"Her first interaction with the community was at the Taylor Library," said Needham.
Taylor Library Director Linda Merrill said she was blindsided when she found out the Taylor Library budget was zeroed out in the town administrator budget.
"How sad it would be to no longer have the little library on the hill," said Merrill.
Fifteen-year-old Eagle Scout candidate Adam Burke said his Eagle Scout project was installing storage and shelving units for the Taylor Library.
"I wanted to give back to the library that has helped me my whole life," said Burke. "We need to preserve that."
Another young East Derry resident, Elizabeth Garcia, also said that she does not want to see the Taylor Library close.
"It is a quiet and peaceful place to read and do my homework," she said.
Councilor Mark Osborne said the closing of the Taylor Library is recommended in the town administrator's budget, but has yet to be approved or even discussed by the council as a whole.
"We on the board have just learned about the budget proposals in the last few years," said Osborne. "We fully intend to diligently pursue all avenues, but no decisions have been made."
Councilor Brad Benson said he was not sure how much support closing the Taylor Library would have among council members. He said when he was the chairman of the council, he had a discussion with Anderson stating that the closing of the Taylor Library would likely not garner the support of the council.
"I grew up at the Taylor Library," he said. "I'm sure the council will do what is right for the taxpayers and the Taylor Library."
Anderson said the budget workshop with the Taylor Library trustees is scheduled for April 30, and the public hearing on the municipal budget as a whole is scheduled for May 2.

Recall Details
The transmission park mechanism located inside the automatic transmission may not hold when the selector is in the "park" position. The vehicle could move/roll without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the automatic transmission parking rod assembly to correct this concern.
Our Quick Take
Vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission may roll with the gear selector in the "park" position.
What Should You Do?
Subaru will notify owners of affected vehicles beginning January 8, 2003. If you are experiencing the vehicle rolling while in "park," or you don't receive notification and you feel you should have, please contact your dealer. It's helpful to have your vehicle identification number (VIN) when you call.

AURORA -- University of Colorado administrators and a professor presented a new degree proposal Wednesday for a Ph.D. in comparative ethnic studies, which drew sharp criticism from some regents and appreciation from others.
The proposal is in the pipeline on the Boulder campus.
Earlier in the day, the regents approved a new bachelor's degree in ethnic studies for CU's Denver campus, but Republican regents Jim Geddes and Sue Sharkey voted against it.
Geddes and Sharkey expressed concerns about job opportunities upon graduation and the perception of liberal bias among the faculty in liberal arts programs.
That criticism carried through when Boulder campus representatives described the proposal for the doctoral program.
The regents likely won't vote on the Boulder campus degree proposal until early next year, possibly February. But the board has been hearing updates about degree proposals as they're being developed.
Separately, Regent Kyle Hybl, R-Colorado Springs, gave notice to the board that he'll be bringing forward a resolution in February to refresh the way new degrees are approved, with campuses coming up with "academic priorities." The process has been the same since 1997.
CU-Boulder Provost Russ Moore told the board there are emerging fields that demand graduates with advanced degrees in ethnic studies -- for example, political analysts who may be studying the impact of the Latino vote.
During the discussion, Democratic Regent Irene Griego said she did her dissertation on multicultural education, which gave her a strong foundation for her teaching, principal and superintendent careers. Now she's coordinating the Office of Diversity and Inclusion for schools in Jefferson County.
Regent Stephen Ludwig, chairman of the academic affairs committee, raised the concern of too many Ph.D. programs in higher education.
"We know that we have a Ph.D. glut in this country," he said. "We're cranking out a lot of Ph.D.s that there are not job placements for."
CU professor Daryl Maeda, chairman of the ethnic studies department, said students in the degree program would gain a powerful skill set with training on how to conduct research, digest vast knowledge and write and communicate effectively.
CU President Bruce Benson suggested that the Boulder campus prepare a list of courses that would be offered for the Ph.D. program, so regents could better grasp the cross-cultural offerings planned for the degree.
"The world is changing, and we need to understand what the rest of the world is doing," he said.

PHOENIX --U.S. officials say Mexican authorities have found a sophisticated smuggling tunnel equipped with electricity and ventilation not far from the Nogales port of entry into Arizona.
Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada in Nogales, Ariz., says the Mexican military discovered the tunnel this week in downtown Nogales, Sonora, just across the border.
He says the tunnel originated in a two-story home in Mexico and stretched about 100 meters. Estrada says the tunnel was elaborately built with electricity and ventilation.
U.S. Border Patrol spokesman Victor Brabble says the tunnel did not cross into the U.S.
Similar tunnels have been used for years by criminals for smuggling people and drugs across the border.
More than 70 such passages have been found since October 2008, most concentrated along the border in California and Arizona.

Mosquito from West Tisbury tested positive for West Nile Virus
Printer-Friendly Version
Dukes County received a report from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) State Laboratory that West Nile virus (WNV) was detected in a mosquito collected in West Tisbury.
There have been positive results for West Nile Virus in Barnstable County (Woods Hole) as well as in other parts of the State.
Health officials say the best way to prevent infection is to wear clothing that covers arms, legs, and feet, apply insect repellent while outdoors, reschedule activities from dusk or dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
Residents are also encouraged to practice source reduction:
• Drain buckets, barrels, tarps, and wheel barrows to avoid water accumulation
• Change the water twice each week in birdbaths and outdoor pet water dishes
• Keep rain gutters clean of debris
• Check children's outdoor toys for water accumulation

BAGHDAD, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- The Pentagon reported Iraqi forces are making progress in their fight against the Islamic State (IS) and released a video showing U.S. air strike assistance.
Kurdish and Iraqi forces have regained control of several villages around the IS-held town of Jalawla. As they chipped away at the IS stronghold, U.S. forces continued to execute air strikes in the area surrounding the Mosul dam Friday. Kurdish forces reclaimed the dam from IS on Sunday, marking a large victory in their efforts to move the jihadist forces out of the country.
The Pentagon released a video of air strikes conducted in the vicinity of the Mosul dam Monday.
The news of progress comes at the same time U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Martin Dempsey announced they were evaluating mounting a similar offensive against IS in Syria but skirted around the issue of calling for U.S. military action in eastern Syria.
"Can they be defeated without addressing that part of the organization that resides in Syria? The answer is no," said Dempsey.
The reconsideration of military action in Syria comes after the brutal beheading of American journalist James Foley by IS. Foley was captured in Syria in November 2012 and was one of several journalists who are still missing.

Japan is watching closely for any signs of renewed strengthening of the yen, Finance Minister Taro Aso said on Friday.
"It is certain that the excessive yen gains that had been seen until recently have been correcting, but there is a full possibility that this might change, so we are closely watching," Aso told reporters he had said on a conference call with U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

He added that he had urged Geithner to do the utmost for the United States to avoid the looming "fiscal cliff" of automatic tax hikes and spending cuts, as it could have an impact not only on the U.S. economy but on other countries.
President Barack Obama and lawmakers are launching a last-chance round of budget talks before a New Year's deadline to avoid the fiscal cliff.

The main catalyst for this transformation was the wide range of events that requires a professional touch of both promotional and marketing activities. Only a highly qualified event management organization can handle such promotional events which require perfect strategy for planning, human resource and transportation management.
The transition in event management services has truly enhanced the way events are organized today. Hence, hiring an event management company is worth these days as they provide the audience fabulous and highly organized events. They have adopted a versatile approach which is helping them provide their best services to the audience; likewise they enjoy the event with no hassles.
Once you hire an event management team, you can be free as your duties are completely taken care of and significantly reduce the burden on your shoulders. In case it is a promotional event that you are hosting then the event management team brings out their best experience with innovative ideas that can eventually turn out to be a profitable proposal to the client. Apart from this the best advantage is that they yield the maximum out of the available resources within the deadline, after all they have mastered working in assigned time constraints. Event management team has answers for every query or needs of the client. Events are an essential part of our society today and they have revolutionized the way events are organized by their team successfully. These display contractors work along with you in close partnership so as to literally understand the significance of a particular event like how you want to hold the event.
Every organization wants to brand their company with a different identity, aiming to reach the sky to defeat their competitor. Anyhow it is essential for you to be in the limelight for which you should hire an exhibition contractor. Hosting events with different activities are one of the best ways to achieve your target and stand out from the rest. Only a professional event contractor can help you achieve this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this winter? Current January thaw aside, we've definitely had some freezing temps, measurable snow and bone-chilling gales. And even when it's warm, it's not that warm. Certainly nothing like the sweltering heat of July and August.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this winter?
Current January thaw aside, we've definitely had some freezing temps, measurable snow and bone-chilling gales. And even when it's warm, it's not that warm. Certainly nothing like the sweltering heat of July and August.
So, tell me please, why are so many women dressing as if it is — July and August, that is.
Lately, it seems like every time I turn on the TV, I'm seeing women wearing sleeveless dresses or tops. Sleeveless, as in no sleeves. In January.
The trend is especially noticeable on morning programs (I tend to watch "Today" or "Morning Joe") as well as on newscasts, dawn to dark.
A look that used to be reserved for some actress's late night movie-plugging appearance on Letterman or Leno is now front and center on the 11 o'clock news.
It doesn't matter what the temperature is or where the broadcast is from. Most of those I see originate from Providence, Boston or New York, none of which is even remotely tropical.
There's also a predictable pattern. While the male anchors/hosts are buttoned up and toasty in jackets, shirts and ties in studio, many of their female counterparts are often flashing skin from shoulder to fingertips.
The sleeveless look has become so prevalent it's almost as if someone did a marketing study and told the media moguls that ratings would rise if the gloves ... and turtlenecks and blazers and usual winter garb ... came off. Leaving the ladies to show off their Michelle Obama-like toned and well-sculpted appendages.
In other words, sex it up.
Mind you, I have nothing on which to base this opinion (though that's never stopped me in the past). And I'm the first to say that one of the good things about being female in 2013 is that you can do and wear what you want. It's just that I have to wonder why all these TV types seem suddenly to be buying into a measure of undress for success.
I can tell you one thing, it would never fly in my office.
As I sit here writing this, I am wearing black pants along with a turtleneck topped by a hooded sweater accented by a long woolen scarf. My tootsies are encased in black socks tucked into fleece-lined suede boots.
And if I think about it, I am still cold.
I am not alone. The majority of my female colleagues are similarly bundled up and most of us keep a spare sweater or shawl to ward off the newsroom chill.
And not just in the winter. Come summer, the air conditioning in our building tends to reach meat-cooler levels, so even when it's 90 degrees outdoors, we're freezing inside.
No sleeves? No way.
In the end, however, while I guess I must respect a woman's right to bare arms, I feel much as I do about the Second Amendment.
I choose not to use it.

NEW YORK — Tyson Ross, an All-Star pitcher for San Diego two years ago, was among 35 players who became free agents when their teams declined to offer them 2017 contracts on Friday.
Washington outfielder Ben Revere and Philadelphia outfielder Cody Asche also were cut loose, along with Arizona catcher Welington Castillo and pitcher Rubby De La Rosa, Baltimore pitcher Vance Worley and Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Louis Coleman.
Milwaukee first baseman Chris Carter and Pittsburgh pitcher Jeff Locke were non-tendered as well; their teams had already designated them for assignment earlier this week.
Teams cut players at the tender deadline to avoid committing to salary...

Oregon Hooters Hosts Middle School Football Team's Party
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Hooters' waitresses in orange shorts and tight tops lined up in two rows to cheer Corbett Middle School football players who arrived for an after-season party at the Jantzen Beach restaurant in Portland, Ore.
Fifteen of the team's 23 members attended Saturday's party which went on after the school district withdrew its support for the gathering and fired the coach for refusing to move the celebration to another location.
Coach Randy Burbach thought Hooters was appropriate and refused to back down.
The Oregonian reports most of the players kept their heads down and their hands in their lettermen jackets as their arrival was recorded on video cameras.
Hooters paid for the party and made a donation to the Corbett Middle School sports program.
The official awards party is Monday, with pizza.

RICHLAND, Wash. – Some of the decisions made over the last 40 years at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation are coming back to haunt the site's current managers. A new report out this week examined why a double-hulled tank of radioactive waste recently sprung a leak in its inner shell. That has raised the possibility of having to pump out the waste from the tank.
The tank is called AY-102. And it's about the size of a house. It's buried in the sandy soil north of Richland.
The tank's spilled as much as 520 gallons of radioactive waste into its bowels -- but so far, not into the environment. The federal contractor that manages the tank -- Washington River Protection Solutions -- is preparing for a worst case scenario.
The company's John Britton says the prospect of an emergency pump out of AY-102 is complicated. He says that tank is filled with heat-producing waste that could become unpredictable if it's dried out.
"If it was determined that this tank isn't sound and we need to pump the liquid out of it immediately, we're prepared to do that," Britton says. "That does carry other operational issues with it. So yeah, it's going to be difficult."
And it's not clear how quickly an emergency pump out could even happen. Cheryl Whalen is a manager with Washington State's Department of Ecology. The agency oversees cleanup at Hanford. Whalen says pump and equipment breakdowns have slowed work a lot at Hanford.
"In some cases a tank retrieval has taken considerably more than a year. And it's usually because of a series of problems."
Another key problem: Where would the waste in that tank go? A board that advises the federal government recommended building new, more robust tanks at Hanford immediately.
Tom Carpenter directs the Seattle-based watchdog Hanford Challenge. He says what went wrong with AY-102, looks to him to be similar to today's long-delayed and troubled waste treatment plant at Hanford.
"… A little bit scary when you think about the waste treatment plant being built in kind of the same way," Carpenter says. "Poor design, one-of-a-kind facility, evidence of a lot of shoddy construction going on – It's like wow will we be reading the same kind of report in a couple of years about the waste treatment plant and why it failed?"
Best case: The waste treatment plant is another half-dozen years from start-up. And new tanks are likely several years away. No one's sure these war-time battleships will hold-on for the process of finding a solution.

This 16-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop is designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.
The SN74ALVCH162374 is particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers. It can be used as two 8-bit flip-flops or one 16-bit flip-flop. On the positive transition of the clock (CLK) input, the Q outputs of the flip-flop take on the logic levels set up at the data (D) inputs.
The output-enable (OE)\ input can be used to place the eight outputs in either a normal logic state (high or low logic levels) or a high-impedance state. In the high-impedance state, the outputs neither load nor drive the bus lines significantly. The high-impedance state and the increased drive provide the capability to drive bus lines without need for interface or pullup components. OE\ does not affect internal operations of the flip-flop. Old data can be retained or new data can be entered while the outputs are in the high-impedance state.
The outputs, which are designed to sink up to 12 mA, include equivalent 26- resistors to reduce overshoot and undershoot.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE\ should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
Active bus-hold circuitry holds unused or undriven inputs at a valid logic state. Use of pullup or pulldown resistors with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended.

It's okay, we all shat bricks.
Diablo, Lord of Terror
^ A little rumor about this picture. If you've ever read the novel, "Divine Comedy" or Dante's Inferno, this portrait of Diablo is resemblance to what is believe to be Satan from the novel. In the 9th level of Hell, three men who are forever chewed/tortured upon Satan for their religious/political treasons: Brutus, Cassius (Betrayers of Julius Caesar), and Judas Iscariot (Betrayer of Jesus).
Diablo III is an action role-playing game currently in development and the third installment of Blizzard's Diablo franchise. It was unveiled on June 28, 2008 at the 2008 Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational in Paris, France.
The Development started started late 2000, but it took three failed attempts before they finally started the Diablo 3 we have now seen. The original team have left to make Flagship Studios, Arena Net, and Castaway Entertainment. By late 2005, a new team, "Team 3," had been working on Diablo 3 with a total of 50 members currently.
- The game takes place on Sanctuary, a world of dark fantasy. Unbeknownst to most of its inhabitants, Sanctuary was saved some twenty years ago from the demonic forces of the underworld by a few brave and powerful heroes. Most of those warriors who directly faced Hell's armies -- and were fortunate enough to survive -- went mad from their experiences. And most of the others have buried their haunted memories and pushed the horrors from their thoughts. In Diablo III, players will return to Sanctuary to confront evil in its many forms once again.
- Diablo III will pick up the story twenty years after the events of Diablo II. Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal have been defeated, but the Worldstone, which once shielded the inhabitants of the world of Sanctuary from the forces of both Heaven and Hell, has been destroyed, and evil once again stirs in Tristram. Playing as a hero from one of five distinct character classes, players will acquire powerful items, spells, and abilities as they explore new and familiar areas of Sanctuary and battle hordes of demons to safeguard the world from the horrors that have arisen.
Diablo III is an action roleplaying game in a similar style to its predecessor, Diablo II. While retaining many of the gameplay elements of the original, Diablo III will have a focus on cooperative or team based play. The proprietary engine will incorporate Havok physics and feature destructible environments with an in-game damage effect. In short, it's your hack and slash game that we hope to be non-repetitive.
Two out of five classes have been revealed so far: Barbarian and Witch Doctor. You can also choose either male female for all classes.
Barbarian - Barbarian can use ground stomp attack to get enemies (npcs, don't know about actual players) to drop their shields. Barbarian can hop across gaps on the map. Barbarian dislodged a rock wall and dropped it on zombies, killing them. Demoing moving whirlwind attack. Barbarians like in Diablo 2 are masters of weapons and armor. They can equip any melee weapon and all plate gear possible. It has been said that this Barbarian is the same from Diablo 2, but has some amnesia shit or something.
Witch Doctor - Can cast out locus swarm, which spreads between targets and deals damage. Can summon mongrel things that he can cast locust swarm on, which buffs their damage. Witch doctor also has a mass fear type of ability. Witch doctor using a fire bomb spell. Can summon a wall of zombies that stays stationary, but the zombies in the wall flail their arms and do damage to their oponents.
Wizard - Known for their variety of magical spells, many remain intact: Fire, Lightning, Arcane, and Teleportation. One new feature is they can slow time within a small area at a time. When an offensive spell or object comes within the sphere, it will slow down so the Wizard can get away from danger.
The Three Prime Evils
From oldest to youngest brother, these were the Prime Evils that wanted to enslave the Mortal Realm to unite with Hell and destroy Heaven: Mephisto, Baal, and Diablo.
Mephisto, Lord of Hatred - He is the most intensely evil brother, whose greatest weapon is his victim's irrational hatred.
Baal, Lord of Destruction - Said to strive for destruction and disorder and is often associated with animals, particularly those bred as soldiers or serving some purpose on the battlefield. His duty is to bring Hell upon the Mortal Realm and cause nothing, but destruction.
Diablo, Lord of Terror - Responsible for the seeding of humanity with violent images of bloodlust and terror, his primary weapon being the victim's fear.
The Four Lesser Evils
While the Prime Evils controlled Hell as a sovereign triumvirate, the Lesser Evils were powerful in their own right, serving as Lieutenants to the Prime evils, but often jealous of them. We don't know if any would make an appearance, but there were two left that did not show up in Diablo 2: Azmodan, Lord of Sins and Baliel, Lord of Lies.
It was announced from Legendary Pictures about 2-3 months ago that they were working with Blizzard on two games into a movie, "World of Warcraft," and "Diablo". I'm a little worried on both films because most movies that are based off games end to suck major balls by either being too loose from it's original source or being too narrow that it bores old fans that have already seen it all and hoped something unique. Although, films like "Street Fighter 2 The Movie" and, "Resident Evil: Degeneration (upcoming)" tend to be better than those solely off shit directors who didn't play the games thoroughly like others. Seeing how Legendary did good work on 300, 10,000 B.C, and The Dark Knight. Also, the fact that Blizzard seriously knows how to make jaw-dropping cinematic videos, I don't see how it could possibly be a terrible film when it comes to visual effects. If you disagree, go to an eye doctor because you must've been blind by it's awesomeness.
Release Date
Once Starcraft II is released, I'll give it another 2-3 years.
Official Website - http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/?rhtml=y
Fanbase Website (one of my few sources) - http://www.diablofans.com/
High Quality Trailer of Diablo 3 - http://rapidshare.com/files/125598392/Diablo_III_Cinematic_Teaser.avi
If you want to see trailer, I advise you to not use jewtube because it's a piece of shit used by 13 year olds who can't google hard enough.
Random Info
- When you kill a monster, their bodies will vanish so it won't cause your game/servers to crash due so much happening on the screen (not enough memory being uploaded and dumped). Sucks because I enjoy seeing hundreds of fallens all over the map.
- Tired of nostalgicfags complaining about the lighting on the gameplay video for Diablo 3 (hope they realize you can change the lighting to your own liking since Diablo 1, fags).
- For some particular reason, fans were questioning if this was going to be an MMO. Stated several times, it will be done as the previous titles as a player will host a server with up to 12 players to quest together.
- A trilogy novel with the previous books written by Robert B. Marks was released a month or two ago; should check it out for you book geeks out there.
Greatest Pictures of All Time
Gosh darn it.
Diablo 3! The face in the middle is on the cover of Diablo 2.
Is diablo 3 ever going to happen
...Really... ~Yeah Baby ~_^v
I heard a rumour about "World of Sanctuary" (rumour from college *shrugs*)
Aka. Diablo series turned into something like World of Warcraft.
- I'm not sure how that would turn out.
If they make Diablo similar to World of Warcraft then I truly believe Blizzard are now sell outs. Can't wait til tomorrow when they show the final splash... Or second last, but I'll post it again with more pictures of what people believe it is to be.
One thing I am curious is to why one of the runes is from a game they don't have anymore in their franchise (Pax Imperia).
Gosh darn it.
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

For all you Diablo fanbois, what are your thoughts on this picture? Those who don't know Pax Imperia, was a game Blizzard originally worked in the early 90's and sold it to THQ.
Original you can check at the main blizzard.com website to compare.
what's with the 'fanbois'?
can't there be girls that happen to like diablo?
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

While surfing the internet for anything interesting about Diablo 3, I saw this picture.
Lol'd hard. Though old news, Blizzard bought a domain of diablo3.com from a diablo fansite which pretty much gaurantees Diablo 3 in the making. If this all turns out to be a joke to Blizzard and those eyeballs end up to be the Lich King's from WoW, I'm pretty positive that there will be millions of people going to California to burn down their building.
Gosh darn it.
diablo3??? network maybe back then XD
Youve got your angels Youve got your wings Lets ply this game of needless things
Well one can hope the transition from Diablo II -> Diablo III won't completely ruin the game like Warcraft II -> Warcraft III did.
there are fangirls their just very rare like a female dwarf in WoW you see them like once every month maybe...anyway i dont rly care if blizz is going to basically make another world of warcraft, diablo ll though that was like my first interweb game to ever play i think it would be a lot like WoW though so idk if they should do it or not but id prob buy it w/e its like
hmm diablo 3 is gonna be like 20% for ti go it going to happen but i have heard some rumours about it
Now the eyes look very much of the Lich Kings, Blizzard got us good and I now I want to spend my 300 dollars to drive down to California and join the riot. Fuck you Blizzard, fuck you.
Also, the gameplay wasn't the only reason what made Diablo what it was; it was the damn plot and character models that made it look so epic compared to WoW's cartoon model.
Edit: Found this picture while surfing my usual spot and this is what they believe it to be and I actually find it plausible.
As you can see Lich King's Face, his eyebrow/helmet doesn't go as wide as that... Either that's smoke or the horns of Diablo, but this shit is intense.
Gosh darn it.

Patrice Bergeron was actually held point-less in two straight games before last week began.
That slump didn't last long.
Bergeron posted back-to-back two-goal games and finished with 4-2-6 totals in Boston's three games against New Jersey, Calgary and Vancouver. For his efforts, readers of TheBruinsBlog.net voted Bergeron the Bruin of the Week:
Who should be the Bruin of the Week?
- Patrice Bergeron (66%, 69 Votes)
- David Krejci (17%, 18 Votes)
- Tyler Seguin (12%, 12 Votes)
- Dennis Seidenberg (5%, 5 Votes)
Total Voters: 104
Bergeron might've surrendered the league faceoff percentage lead to fellow Selke Trophy hopeful Jonathan Toews over the weekend, but he's still winning draws at a remarkable 58.1 percent clip — remarkable because of all the other great things he does for Boston. Bergeron is second on the team with 34 points, first with 23 goals and has accumulated an amazing plus-26 rating while battling some of the league's best offensive players. He's the team's ice-time leader overall and shorthanded among forwards.
In every way, this has been a great season for Bergeron. And last week's production was just his latest dose of excellence.
