Dejan Lovren's header eight minutes into the second half was the difference as the league leaders were beaten for the first time this campaign.
The Croatia international defender met Adam Lallana's left-wing corner and, despite close attention from his marker, diverted the ball home with the angle against him.
The hosts made three changes to the side who drew 2-2 with Swansea City on Monday, Iago Aspas replacing the injured Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Agger and Kolo Toure coming in for Andre Wisdom and Jose Enrique in the defence. Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino named an unchanged side from the team that drew 0-0 with West Ham.
|By Tom Marshall-Bailey
Liverpool's unbeaten start to the Premier League season came to an abrupt halt as a Dejan Lovren-inspired Southampton side secured a deserved 1-0 success at Anfield.
The hosts looked toothless in attack without the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suarez and Brendan Rodgers will be equally concerned by some of his side's defensive work as the Saints got at the Reds' back line too easily and frequently.
Lovren stooped to head home from the equally impressive Adam Lallana's corner from the left as Mauricio Pochettino and his men got back to winning ways.
After 21 minutes, Boruc pulled off a save of much higher quality, flying to his right to tip away a Steven Gerrard free kick that was destined for the top corner following Jose Fonte's foul on Aspas.
As the pace of the game intensified, Rickie Lambert wasted a golden chance to open the scoring in the 27th minute, swivelling on a loose ball eight yards from goal but failing to make a true connection, his shot looping up into Simon Mignolet's arms.
The visitors were lucky not to concede a penalty five minutes later when Daniel Sturridge looked to have been tripped as he cut inside Lovren, although the referee waved play on.
Boruc once again came to his side's rescue nine minutes before the break when he denied Victor Moses at the near post after the Nigeria international had weaved his way past two defenders on the left-hand side.
On the stroke of half time, Sturridge met Gerrard's cross from the right but the ball cannoned off the striker's shoulder rather than his head and looped onto the roof of Boruc's net.
Mignolet put his side under pressure two minutes after the break when he tried to play the ball out from the edge of the box but, as Southampton won possession, the Belgium international raced off his line to deny Lallana and redeem himself.
In the 53rd minute, it was the visitors who took the lead when Lovren met Lallana's corner and, despite being off balance, he powered his header between the diving Mignolet and Gerrard on the line.
|Southampton are 5/1 with BetVictor to win the Premier League without the 'big six'
The hosts were stunned into action, Boruc denying Gerrard from another free kick, this time low to his left in the 59th minute.
Southampton almost extended their lead shortly after, with substitute Steven Davis riding three challenges on a charge into the box before being denied by the legs of Mignolet, the goalkeeper reacting quickly to tip away the rebound as Davis looked to pounce.
Sturridge wasted a good opportunity with 12 minutes left when, after finding himself in plenty of space on the right, the England forward curled the ball high over the crossbar.
Liverpool continued to press but substitute Luis Alberto's weak effort in the 87th minute was blocked as Southampton held on to seal the points.

Lyle Denniston has an excellent post on Monday afternoon in Scotusblog summarizing Judge Henry Hudson's ruling that denied the Justice Department's motion to dismiss Virginia's constitutional challenge to the mandate in the new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 requiring individuals to procure a minimum level of health insurance coverage.
Further to the essential point of my post in this blog yesterday, Denniston notes that Judge Hudson commented that the new law "radically changes" health care coverage in the United States, that Congress extended its "Commerce Clause powers beyond its current high water mark," and that "never before has the Commerce Clause and associated Necessary and Proper Clause been extended this far."
In my opinion, these comments go well beyond merely "displaying some skepticism about the scope of the new mandate" as Denniston charitably characterizes them. To my reading, they signal a profound concern by a clearly troubled jurist with the constitutional reach of the individual mandate provisions of Section 1501 of the Act that the Administration would be well-advised to take quite seriously.

About Manit Sriwanichpoom
Manit Sriwanichpoom could be considered a political activist who uses photography and video to express his views. In 1998, Sriwanichpoom created his Pink Man, which would become the iconic figure in his artwork. Played by the artist's friend and poet Sompong Thawee, the Pink Man is a character dressed in a pink silk suit with matching pink objects, like shopping carts or balloons, who looks equally impassively at the touristic monuments of Bangkok and scenes of public violence in Sriwanichpoom's staged images. Sriwanichpoom also produced a series of six works titled "This Bloodless War" (1997) that re-create iconic photojournalistic images from the Vietnam War and the bombing of Nagasaki in Japan. One work in the series is based on Nit Ut's infamous 1972 photograph of a girl fleeing a napalm attack, recast with contemporary figures carrying brand name shopping bags.

Perfect flower for natural crafts
Queen Anne's lace is blooming across Christian County, and the roadsides near the Bruce Farm on Highway 1716 (right) contain some particularly fine specimens of the flower.
This "wild carrot" was brought from Europe for use as a medicinal herb by the colonists and was carried west by settlers. Everywhere it was planted, it escaped into the wild. Today, it has spread across the entire United States. It likes dry, sunny places, thrives in poor soil, blooms from early summer through the fall, and seeds itself with wild abandon.
A lady whom I know carried a bouquet of Queen Anne's lace at her wedding. Her wedding day memories include a trip with her husband-to-be to cut her bouquet along the roadside. However, farmers who find an overabundance of the flower in their pastures and fields treat it like any other weed.
The intricate structure of Queen Anne's lace makes it an interesting flower to press. When pressed and dried, it's large enough to make a lacy statement. I have decoupaged arrangements of pressed Queen Anne's lace blossoms to wooden objects with fairly good results.
The little ornament at right was made by covering a small wooden heart with linen and decoupaging onto it a pressed blossom of Queen Anne's lace and several pressed flowerets from a milkweed blossom. (I apologize that the lace edging is out of focus. This is a scan, not a photo.)
The scan below shows another interesting use of the pressed flower. It is a plaque made by the Hand and Eye Studio of Cosby, Tennessee. Art foil has been pressed over dried flowers and stems of Queen Anne's lace.
I have an old lard press that belonged to my grandfather and I cut and fitted some boards to adapt it to use as a flower press. It will press most anything flatter than a pancake. Most people don't have such an odd piece of equipment though, so it's good that flower presses can be constructed easily with inexpensive materials.
For that matter, a flower press is not necessary. Just place the flowers inside a bed of white paper towels and stack some heavy books on top of them. Or lay the flowers between two white paper towels inside an old catalog or telephone book and weight it down with some heavy books.
When the flowers are dry, use a paintbrush to apply a thin coat of clear-drying glue evenly over the surface where you want to mount the flower. Then carefully place the flower and clean up any excess of glue around the outer edges. Edges can be pressed gently into place with a toothpick or popsickle stick. A weight may help the flower to adhere. A sheet of waxed paper or plastic wrap over the flower should prevent it from being glued to the weight.

Gay couples can now get Ill. marriage licenses
CHICAGO (AP) — Illinois' attorney general says county clerks statewide can immediately begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples even though the state law legalizing gay marriage doesn't take effect until June.
Democratic Attorney General Lisa Madigan issued the guidance Tuesday in response to a question from Macon County Clerk Stephen Bean.
A state law legalizing same-sex marriage takes effect June 1, but a federal judge in Chicago ruled last month that Illinois' original ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional.
The court said the ruling only applied to Cook County. But in a letter to Bean, Madigan said that because current restrictions on gay marriage are unconstitutional, same-sex couples asking for a marriage license in any county can be given one.
Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn says county clerks should quickly follow Madigan's guidance.

SUBMITTED BY ARTHUR N1ORC - AMSAT A/c #31468 *Joint Operations End; Endeavour to Undock Sunday* 18 AUGUST 2007 Expedition 15 Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and Flight Engineers Oleg Kotov and Clay Anderson concluded joint operations with the STS-118 crew Saturday afternoon. STS-118's stay at the station began Aug. 10 and featured four spacewalks to continue the on-orbit construction of the station. The STS-118 crew exited the station before hatches closed at 5:10 p.m. EDT Saturday in preparation for undocking on Sunday. In addition to the seven STS-118 astronauts, Space Shuttle Endeavour carried the Starboard 5 (S5) truss segment to the station and STS-118 spacewalkers installed it Aug. 11. The S5 truss segment is part of the station's Integrated Truss Structure that will eventually be the length of a football field and contain four sets of solar arrays. The station received a new control moment gyroscope (CMG) on Monday during the second spacewalk. The station has four CMGs that are used to control its attitude in orbit. The new CMG replaced a faulty gyroscope that will return to Earth on a future shuttle mission. On Tuesday, the International Space Station's first component to go into space, the Zarya control module, passed the 50,000th orbit mark at 11:17 a.m. EDT. Zarya, which is Russian for "Sunrise," was funded by the United States and built by Russia. It launched atop a Proton rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Nov. 20, 1998. The third spacewalk occurred Wednesday. It featured preparations for the relocation of the Port 6 truss from atop the station to the end of the Port 5 truss when STS-120 visits later this year. A fourth spacewalk took place Saturday in which an antenna was installed and two materials science experiments were retrieved for return to Earth. In other activities, the two crews transferred cargo between Endeavour and the station . + Read more about Expedition 15 <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition15/index.html> + View crew daily timelines <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/timelines/index.html> ---- Sent via firstname.lastname@example.com.

LONG BEACH — Gangsters, drug dealers, murderers and sex offenders were swept from the streets of Long Beach this week in a joint task force operation led by the Long Beach Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service.
The sting, dubbed "Operation Summer Heat," focused on dangerous fugitives and resulted in 280 arrests, including 75 gang members and six guns seized, Long Beach Police Chief Jim McDonnell said Friday.
Among those captured were people wanted for "shootings, narcotics sales, extortion (and) murders," McDonnell told a room full of reporters gathered at LBPD headquarters for a press conference announcing the results of the operation.
Authorities also zeroed in on 200 registered sex offenders, including one high-risk offender wanted for failing to register. He was tracked to Louisiana and is now in custody on a $1 million warrant and facing extradition to California, McDonnell added.
"The preparation included months of planning and focused on suppressing the repeat violent offenders and fugitives within Long Beach," the chief said.
More than 200 officers and agents worked in teams targeting "problem locations and … criminal activities such as shootings, gang crimes and narcotics," McDonnell said.
The citywide operation focused on some of the city's worst repeat offenders, including juveniles, wanted on outstanding warrants, some of which were as many as two or three years old, officers said.
"There is always a huge back log of warrants," the chief said. "Each day dozens and dozens of warrants are issued out of just (the Long Beach) courthouse."
Not only are warrants issued daily by courts throughout the county and state, McDonnell noted, agencies tasked with enforcing the warrants – from local to federal levels – are struggling with fewer resources.
Of the 280 people arrested, 20 were juvenile gang members wanted for serious probation violations, including weapons charges, said Gang Detective Joe Pirooz, who is assigned to the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Apprehension Team.
A dozen children were also rescued from unfit living conditions by Department of Children and Family Services social workers working with officers and agents, said Deputy Police Chief Robert Luna.
Authorities also issued 242 citations, towed 32 vehicles and carried out more than 100 probation compliance checks.
The operation included the Long Beach Police Department; the Department of Homeland Security; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; the California Highway Patrol; the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation; the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department; the Department of Children and Family Services; and the Los Angeles County Probation Office.
Among the various LBPD details involved in the operation were Narcotics, Gang Enforcement, Sex Crimes, Youth Services, Directed Enforcement and Impact Motors.

MANHASSET, NY – In recognition of Medical Group Practice Week from January 21-25, the North Shore-LIJ Health System announced today that its physician practice has received the Partners in Performance Excellence (PiPEX) Silver Award, part of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Regional Program. The honor recognizes the North Shore-LIJ Medical Group for outstanding management and operational practices.
The Medical Group is comprised of more than 2,500 full-time physicians throughout the 16-hospital health system – the sixth-largest physician group practice in the United States -- and encompasses more than 380 physician outpatient practices throughout the metropolitan area.
The Medical Group's performance was examined using the same process, guidelines and criteria for the national Baldrige Award for performance excellence. Examiners looked at the medical group's operational processes in seven categories: leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, measurement analysis and knowledge management, human resources focus, process management and results. Organizations can earn bronze, silver, gold or platinum distinction.
By participating in the award program, the North Shore-LIJ Medical Group was able to obtain an in-depth evaluation of its performance against industry best practices as well as identify opportunities for growth and areas for improvement.
"As we prepare to celebrate Medical Group Practice Week, it's fitting that we recognize the more than 2,500 physicians who helped our medical group achieve regional honors from the Baldrige program," said Ira Nash, MD, vice president and medical director of the North Shore-LIJ Medical Group. "The Baldrige recognition is rewarding because it recognizes the progress North Shore-LIJ has made in aligning the rapidly growing number of outpatient physician practices that have joined the health system in recent years, as well as those physicians practicing in our hospitals and other facilities. The examiners' report highlighted customer focus as one of our Medical Group's key strengths, and we are gratified that our efforts to serve patients and their families have been recognized by this esteemed program."
PiPEX is a Baldrige Enterprise Member that supports organizations across New York and Massachusetts by helping them become more effective, competitive and sustainable through the use of the Baldrige principles for performance excellence. The group provides assessments, training, benchmarking, networking and recognition to bring about improvement in business.
An initiative of the Colorado-based Medical Group Management Association, Medical Group Practice Week advances the awareness and understanding of medical group practices as a premier form of health care delivery. It also honors those physicians, administrators and staff who dedicate their professional careers to the administration of quality health care.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Yemeni military attacks on al-Qaida positions in Marib province Sunday killed four militants, including a senior member of the violent Islamist group, Yemen tribal officials said.
The attacks followed an ambush Saturday that killed eight soldiers, including a senior officer.
The tribal officials said airstrikes and heavy artillery shelling targeted the farm of Said bin Muaily, a senior al-Qaida member. He was killed, along with three others.
The tribal officials said a stray rocket missed its target and instead hit two houses in the Abieda valley in Marib, killing one man and injuring five others, including a child. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the raids with reporters.
The Defense Ministry called Saturday's attack a "terrorist ambush," confirming that the chief of staff in Yemen's central military region was killed.
The U.S. considers the local al-Qaida branch the world's most dangerous. The U.S. has helped Yemen intensify its campaign against the Islamist militants.

Ohio State Holds Off Arkansas to Win 77th Sugar Bowl Classic park
ESPN Highlights
Final Game Statistics (PDF)
Final Game Statistics (html)
Final Game Notes
Ohio State held off a furious second-half Arkansas rally as the Buckeyes claimed a 31-26 win in the 77th annual Allstate Sugar Bowl Classic in the Louisiana Superdome on Tuesday.
The Buckeyes led 28-10 at halftime but Arkansas turned up the pressure in the second half and pulled within 31-26 midway through the fourth quarter. But, with the Razorbacks deep in Ohio State territory after a blocked punt, the Buckeyes got a critical interception and held on to claim victory.
Ohio State finished the season 12-1 while Arkansas ends its campaign at 10-3.
"Our kids fought and fought," said Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel. "I couldn't be prouder. Our kids fought like crazy tonight. It's a big win for us."
Trailing by 18, Arkansas opened the second half with an 11-play drive that led to a Zach Hocker field goal to cut the Ohio State margin to 28-13. Ohio State answered with a field goal of its own to restore the 18-point cushion and give the Buckeyes a 31-13 lead with just over four minutes left in the third quarter.
Arkansas pulled to within 10 when quarterback Ryan Mallett hit Jarius Wright for a 22-yard touchdown pass and then D.J. Williams stretched the ball over the goal line to complete the two-point conversion.
The Razorbacks seemed to have all the momentum heading into the forth quarter and used it to record a safety with Ohio State running back Dan Herron was tackled in the end zone. Another Hocker field goal on the ensuing Arkansas possession brought the Razorbacks to within five, 31-26 with 8:55 left in the game.
Arkansas had a chance to pull out the win after the Razorbacks blocked an Ohio State punt and recovered the ball on the Buckeye's 18-yard line with just over a minute remaining in the game. But OSU's Solomon Thomas intercepted a Mallett pass on second down and the Buckeyes ran out the clock to claim victory.
"Arkansas is a special football team," Tressel added. "We knew that when we drew them. It was just a knock-down, drag-out and I'm awfully proud of our guys."
"It was a tough loss for us," said Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino. "We had our opportunities and weren't able to capitalize on them. I'm very proud of this football team and what they accomplished throughout the year. They showed their character and toughness in the second half."
If the story of the second half was Arkansas comeback effort, then the story of the first half was Ohio State's offensive outburst.
The Buckeyes got on the board first, albeit on an unusual play. Quarterback Terrelle Pryor scrambled 34 yards to the Arkansas three-yard line, only to lose the ball into the endzone. But Ohio State's Dane Sanzenbacher corralled the loose ball to put the Buckeyes up 7-0.
Arkansas answered with a 17-yard touchdown pass from Mallett to Joe Adams to even the score at 7-7. However, Ohio State responded with another touchdown just over two minutes later as Dan Herron rushed in from nine yards out to give the Buckeyes a 14-7 lead.
Pryor then threw touchdown passes to Sanzenbacher and DeVier Posey to push the Ohio State advantage to 28-7 before Arkansas ended the half with a Zach Hocker field goal.
Pryor, the Sugar Bowl Most Valuable Player, finished 14-of-25 passing for 221 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also added 115 yards rushing on 15 carries. The 115 rushing yards were the fourth-most by a quarterback in a BCS bowl game and the fourth-best by a quarterback in Sugar Bowl history.
Herron added 87 yards rushing and a touchdown for the Buckeyes, while Posey had three catches for 70 yards and a touchdown.
Mallett led Arkansas with 277 yards passing (24-of-47) with two touchdowns and an interception. Running back Knile Davis had 139 yards rushing on 26 carries. The 139 yards rushing were good enough for 12th-best in Sugar Bowl history. Joe Adams had nine catches for 120 yards for the Razorbacks. The nine catches tied for seventh-best in Sugar Bowl history.
The 2011 Sugar Bowl saw an attendance of 73,879, which was the highest for a Sugar Bowl since the 2008 Georgia-Hawaii game. It marks the 33rd time that the Sugar Bowl attendance has exceeded 70,000 in the Louisiana Superdome and the 61st time that the game has exceeded 70,000 overall.

Christianity has taught, preached and proclaimed that mankind should stand in awe of the "incredible" depth of Jesus sacrifice on behalf of poor wretched sinners. As we have been taught, Jesus took himself from the highest place in the universe down to the lowest place on the human scale. There to die a death, not just any death but a most cruel and inhuman death which our small heads might be able to imagine. As the trite saying goes, "God bankrupted heaven in order that we might enjoy his riches."
Now, to be sure, the story of Jesus does provide a illustration of a sacrifice. However, are we to be awe-fully impressed by it. Is that sacrifice truly a sacrifice of such magnitude claimed? Let's take a brief look.
First of all, Jesus sacrifice was encapsulated in 33 brief years. So, sandwiched in between eternity previous and eternity post is a segment of time which, in comparison, does not even register as a relative blip on the screen. The insignificance of 33 years is brought out by the statement in II Peter 3:8, "...with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (ESV). I understand that thousand years can easily be interpreted figuratively and not literally. Nonetheless, the point can be argued that 33 years does not even constitute a significant portion of the divine day. Would we commend someone excessively for devoting 1-2 hours out of entire lifetime to be face to face with those he claimed to love. No, we are not impressed. Jesus gave very little of his time to be with us.
Next we must ask, "how hard was it to be away from heaven for those 33 years?" Imagine if a person lived an incredible life of luxury for his entire life . But the only time he had to really sacrifice would be 1-2 hours of incredible suffering. Then immediately afterwards he could go back to his life of incredible luxury. Now this scenerio is flawed with contingencies based on the mental health status of the person involved. But suppose the person involved is a mentally balanced, rational being. Would that person consider this suffering overwhelming? As long as the person kept the 1-2 hours of suffering in perspective, the situation would be "no sweat." How much more from a divine perspective? How much did Jesus really sacrifice by giving up the riches of heaven when he knew it would only be a short time before he received all back again?
In this question, we are defining sacrifice simply as time spent being human, a fate which most of us do not consider a sacrifice. It is a sacrifice for him, Jesus, only in a condescending way. Maybe a true sacrifice would be Jesus being reborn in each generation to be with us. Maybe it would be Jesus just being with us antlike humans from the beginning. I would actually be impressed if the person that I have worshipped for over 30 years actually took the time to meet me face to face in person. That I think I would begin to call a sacrifice on a divine level. As it is, no we are not impressed.
Let us scrutinize a little further. Up to approximately his thirtieth birthday, Jesus simply lived a normal life of a Galilean peasant. Nothing special. He may have gone hungry sometimes. But we are given no indications that Jesus almost starved to death during his physical development. We are given no indications that Jesus suffered any significant physical impairments. How could a real Jesus honestly look at a person who has had cerebral palsy from birth and say that he has made a great sacrifice when Jesus' "sacrificial" experience would provide him not a clue of what it felt like to be CP from birth. If Jesus was going to be truly sacrificial, why couldn't he grow up in a slave camp being beaten daily. Or why couldn't he have a lifetime experience of chronic pain sydrome so that he could truly understand what some of his creature go through without any of the praise and adulation accorded to his name? This shows just how superficial his sacrifice really was. Truly, Jesus, we are not impressed.
Going a bit further, his ministry lasted a mere 3 years, but maybe as short as one year. One cannot disipute that he gave much during this time going without sleep many nights, reaching out to many in need and preaching his double edged message of love and condemnation. Jesus' effort pales incredibly in relation to many of his own followers who have devotedan entire lifetime sacrificing all worldly goods and worldly desires to follow his message. Who should stand in awe and praise of whom. I think Jesus should worship many of his followers because they have sacrificed insurmountably more than he.
Even during this time, did Jesus' sacrifice call him to truly physically suffer? No more than millions of altruistic persons have done. Then what does it come down to? Jesus spent no more than 1 human day truly suffering on an elevated scale including the trial, the scouraging, the mockery, and the actual crucifixion (in which Jesus was granted a brief than usual stay on the cross of only 6 hours. Many others crucified usually spend a much longer time than the fortunate son.). Imagine Jesus thinking to himself, "Sure, right now this is bad. But if I can hang on a few hours. I will be right back up in heaven. And my father promised that everyone will have to bow to my name nowand forever more. I guess that's not such bad deal" Now I am not so "blasphemous" as to suggest that that is the way Jesus actually thought or that the gospel writers imply that thinking. Nonetheless, it pretty much sums up the essence of the situation. How is this sacrifice any greater on the human level? Spartacus, circa 70 BCE,and his compatriots endured torture and the sacrifice on the cross over a much longer period of time for for the commandable goal of raising the status of slaves to a level of human dignifity. His sacrifice was just as noble. But he operated without any promise of a life after death. That raises his sacrifice much higher into the realm of the sublime. If Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice, why then does it not appear to be so ultimate?
Shouldn't we expect more of divine sacrifice than we do of human sacrifice?
Does this not make Jesus' sacrifice embarrassing and infinitely small?
Can I ask one more question?
Are we impressed yet?

North Country man indicted in armed robbery in GorhamBy JOHN KOZIOL
Union Leader Correspondent
February 25. 2014 8:25PM
LANCASTER — A North Country man who authorities say robbed a convenience store at gunpoint last fall has been indicted by a Coos County Grand Jury.
Edward J. Czubyk, 43, of/ or formerly of 2 Keenan St. in Gorham, was indicted by the grand jury on Feb. 21 on two counts of robbery in connection with an incident on Nov. 11, 2013, at Moe's Variety on Main Street in Gorham.
According to documents provided by the Coos County Superior Court, Czubyk entered Moe's Variety and "purposely placed" the clerk there "in fear of the immediate use of force," by brandishing a Sig Sauer 9mm handgun.
While standing at the checkout, Czubyk, the indictment said, told the clerk to "give me all your money."
Czubyk is being held on $20,000 cash bond at the Coos County Jail pending an arraignment on March 10 in Coos County Superior Court.

So a team of say toothy, spring rabbit and either a death adder or valk of yourself does the trick.

Kendrah wrote:Each time it haunts, the corpse is considered a new corpse and thus is able to be consumed. Wouldn't I want to make certain that it's in haunt as long as possible? Seeing as there's only so many blocks to preventing a haunt and haunt itself doesn't have a CD. Every successful haunt is considered a new corpse and they get that free pet change in. Which ever one has consume off CD would be swapped in and consume could be done before you could sear anyway.
Maleric wrote:Are you sure the corpse created by Haunt sticks around even after the Valk'yr returns to life?
Kendrah wrote:Maleric wrote:Are you sure the corpse created by Haunt sticks around even after the Valk'yr returns to life?
The corpse doesn't stay when the haunt ends but it counts as a corpse when it's there. So, say I have pet with sear magic and it haunts. It's counted as dead then, right? And they gets a free pet swap because of that. If it brings in the bird, that bird will be faster than you. If it needs to consume that corpse, it's going to get that heal before you can get the val out of you.
So, let's say you sear and the unborn comes back to live. It is on the back row, yes. Your SM does have two round CD. So, it'll waste a turn bringing it back up, and it will haunt the next round and get another free pet swap. Now, if that other pet is faster than your and it needs to consume, it'll get that consume off before you get it out of you again. At which point, the bird's consume CD is up in the next round or two and letting it get out will just produce another corpse.

Global demand will expand 3.4 percent to 20.85 million tons next year, from a 1.5 percent gain in 2012, Barclays estimates. Supply will climb 3.5 percent to an all-time high of 20.83 million tons. While that means an annual shortage of 19,000 tons, it's driven by the projected first-half deficit, compared with a surplus of 297,000 tons in the second six months.
China's copper demand may rise 5.5 percent to 8.1 million tons, from a gain of 4.8 percent this year, according to Beijing Antaike Information Development Co., which has researched metals for two decades. The infrastructure plans approved in September include about 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles) of roads, subway projects in 18 cities and extra spending on railways.
The nation's economy will rebound this quarter from the slowest pace in three years, and keep accelerating through at least the middle of 2013, according to the medians of as many as 37 economist estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That may not be enough to offset contractions elsewhere.
European Recession
The 17-nation euro-area tumbled back into recession last quarter and economists surveyed by Bloomberg expect Japan to do the same this quarter. Europe accounts for 18 percent of copper demand and Japan 5 percent. U.S. leaders have yet to resolve the so-called fiscal cliff of automatic taxes rises and spending cuts, which the Congressional Budget Office has warned risks shrinking the economy. The International Monetary Fund cut its forecast for global growth in 2013 twice since July.
Hedge funds and other speculators are betting on lower prices, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. They held a net-short 2,649 futures and options in the week to Nov. 20, after turning negative the week before for the first time since August.
While stockpiles monitored by the LME fell 33 percent to 249,975 tons this year, those in bonded warehouses in China reached a record 700,000 tons, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said in a Nov. 8 report. Those tracked by the Shanghai Futures Exchange, which are separate from the bonded-warehouse figure, have more than doubled to 205,933 tons, bourse data show.

Universal Audio Apollo Twin Interfaces
Universal Audio Apollo Twin Interfaces
Apollo is a name that inspires thoughts of mighty greek gods and superhuman endeavours in space exploration. While an audio interface might not have the same impact in the public imagination it's fair to say that Universal Audio's Apollo Twin interfaces are an incredible achievement. With an incredible heritage that includes groundbreaking analogue audio design and digital UAD technology that pushed the envelope in terms of plugin sound quality, Universal Audio are almost uniquely placed to offer a Thunderbolt interface that melds these two worlds together in one sleek, beautiful package.
Unison Technology - A World Of Vintage Style Preamps In One
Universal Audio have developed all new Unison technology to give you perfect digital control over analogue aspects of the preamp, including impedance and gain staging. This is ollowed by digital modeling in the Unison plugin. Having measured every single component in the original units you get a perfect digital recreation of everything that happens after the mic hits the input too. For more information here's Gannon Kashiwa from UA.
UAD Plugins - VST, RTAS, AAX 64, and Audio Units
You may already be familiar with UAD plugins, they've been around for quite a while and have continued to represent the cutting edge of analogue modelling technology. The library continues to grow and now there's a frankly staggering collection available on the Universal Audio store. No matter if you're after the classic 1176 compressor or the (Garden Hose-Based Mechanical Delay Device!) Cooper Time Cube there's all kinds of weird, wonderful, vintage and boutique emulations of supremely rare and expensive hardware. Having used them on numerous mixes ourselves we could wax lyrical all day long, however why not listen to someone who knows what they're talking about instead...
Analogue Signal Path
The signal path on the Apollo Twin is warm, clear and pure, sharing the same components and ADDA convertors as it's bigger Apollo brothers. As for the analogue, what more proof could you need than checking out the history of an analogue classics that helped Universal Audio get where it is today.

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Values
Select a 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible trim level
2013 model year changes
After the successful introduction of the redesigned Beetle in 2012, VW has begun to flesh out the lineup. The biggest change for 2013 is the reintroduction of a diesel model (TDI). The diesel promises serious fuel economy for the stylish compact and is rated at 28 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway. Later in the year VW plans to introduce a special model dubbed the Fender Edition, as in Fender guitars. Featuring a premium sound system leather seating and special styling cues, the Fender edition should satisfy those looking for a more premium version of the iconic Beetle.
Competitive comparison
Aggressive styling; more practical and spacious interior; sporty turbo performance; plenty of in-cabin entertainment options; convertible available
Special features for 2013
With a new, more aggressive design, more spacious interior, plus a trio of tried and true engine options, the 2013 Volkswagen offers a fresh alternative for buyers shopping around for a cool compact. With regards to features, performance and price, the Beetle holds its own against the likes of the MINI Cooper and FIAT 500, with a lower price than the MINI and more practical interior than the FIAT.
The roofless variant of the standard Beetle, the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible is a two door subcompact with seating for four. The Beetle is available with three different gasoline engine options; a standard 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine (170 hp/177 lb-ft of torque), an optional turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine (200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque), and . Transmission options consist of a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, and 6-speed DSG® automatic. Fuel mileage falls within an EPA estimated range of 21 mpg city to 31 mpg highway, depending on engine and transmission selection. Features include bi-xenon, 19-inch alloy heritage wheels, push-button start, sport steering wheel, ambient lighting, sport suspension, touchscreen navigation, premium audio, and hands-free phone capabilities. Safety is comprised of four airbags with integrated side curtain protection, anti-lock braking (ABS), intelligent crash response, and electronic stability control (ESC). The Beetle is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.

Art books on display at the New England Mobile Book Fair, which is neither mobile or a fair. (Don Coyote/Flickr)
BOSTON — The New England Book Fair isn't much to look at from the outside. Passing by on Needham Street in Newton Highlands, you might even mistake it for a shuttered business.
Inside, though, the Book Fair is a bibliophile's dream. The shelves seem to stretch forever, packed with everything from New York Times bestsellers to esoteric, hard-to-find remainders. Most of the books are sold at a 20 percent discount, while New York Times bestsellers get a 30 percent markdown.
Meanwhile, the Book Fair's organic layout and funky ambience is a far cry from Borders or Barnes & Noble – which is exactly how its loyal customers like it.
There's "less of the chain feeling" at the Book Fair, says Aimee Stone of Needham. "I like the gritty feeling of this. You're in with the books."
Last week, though, the Book Fair's three co-owners announced that the 53-year-old store – which they call the largest independent bookstore in New England – is up for sale. The goal, says co-owner and COO Steve Gans, is to find a buyer who maintains the store's character. To that end, they've hired broker Paul Siegenthaler, who arranged the recent sale of Cambridge's Harvard Book Store.
Still, there's no guarantee that a new owner will safeguard the Book Fair's more pronounced idiosyncrasies, which include a huge discount-books inventory, an armada of miniature shopping carts and shelves arranged by publisher rather than author.
"I absolutely would not want it to modernize," says Carrie Schmidt of Jamaica Plain. "I love the shopping carts! I love the way that the stacks are set up."
The store's logic can be confusing for the uninitiated. Some authors get their own turnstile; others don't. What's more, you'll find foreign-language titles sharing a small space with chewable baby books and the latest offering from Dennis Lehane. But loyalists claim the unusual layout creates an appealingly serendipitous shopping experience.
"There's a stack of books that I just walked by – these little books that I had when I was growing up, and I've never seen them again," says Schmidt. "I would have had to go online to even remember that those books existed and that I wanted them — and there they are!"
Regular customers also lavish praise on the Book Fair's staffers, who they claim are a cut above their big-box peers.
"People here seem to be much more knowledgeable," says Rama Chandra of Newton. "They've been around here a long time."
So has the Book Fair, which was founded in 1957 by Lou Strymish, a Harvard-trained chemist. (Today, Strymish's sons Jon and David own the store with Gans.) But whether the store's unusual character can survive another half-century remains to be seen.
"If you like it the way it is, and if somebody else could just take it and change it," says Stone, "then it's not the New England Mobile Book Fair anymore."

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
U.S. stock-index futures slumped Tuesday amid concerns about the eurozone debt crisis and the looming American fiscal cliff.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
As of 8:03 a.m. ET, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell 55 points to 12726, S&P 500 futures slumped 7 points to 1371 and Nasdaq 100 futures dipped 17 points to 2564.
The markets took a breather Monday, barely budging in holiday-thinned trade. However, activity is expected to pick up on Tuesday.
On the European front, a closely-watched indicator of German economic sentiment unexpectedly dropped in November. The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment fell 4.2 points to -15.7. Economists expected a reading of -10. There have been worries brewing that the eurozone's debt crisis, coupled with other global headwinds, are beginning to take a toll on Europe's biggest economy that has so far been fairly resilient.
Eurozone finance ministers also gave Greece an extra two years to meet goals on slashing its budget deficit. However, disagreements between the European Union and International Monetary Fund have caused uncertainty over when the country will receive much-needed rescue aid. Without the aid, Greece is at risk of defaulting on its debt, the specter of which has roiled financial markets in the past.
The economic calendar remains fairly light on Tuesday, with a report on the U.S. budget deficit due at 2:00 p.m. ET. It is set to pick up later in the week with minutes from the Federal Reserve's last policy-setting meeting and data on retail sales, inflation and manufacturing.
Wall Street has also been paying close attention to Washington, D.C., with the fiscal cliff ticking closer every day. President Barack Obama is set to meet with labor leaders Tuesday and then with business leaders the following day to discuss the disagreements.
In corporate news, Home Depot (NYSE:HD) posted better-than-expected quarterly results on the top and bottom lines, sending shares of the Dow component higher.
Commodities markets were lightly changed. The benchmark crude oil contract fell 21 cents, or 0.25%, to $85.35 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline dipped 0.58% to $2.661 a gallon.
In metals, gold slumped $2.30, or 0.13%, to $1,729 a troy ounce.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 fell 0.39% to 2464, the English FTSE 100 dipped 0.55% to 5735 and the German DAX dropped 0.83% to 7109.
In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 slipped 0.18% to 8661 and the Chinese Hang Seng sold off by 1.1% to 21189.

Hi again, my son is 9 weeks old and I have been doing one sided nursing fir a few weeks. I decided to do this because I was constantly engorged (suspected oversupply), and he had reflux.*
It seems like my breasts aren't as full. I am insecure that he is getting enough. He is over 15.10 and his birth weight was 7.7.*
1. How do know when your breasts are drained if they don't feel that full to begin with? Is there a way I can tell by squeezing my breast? I can get milk to cone out if I squeeze even if I am soft but that's probably because they will never be empty.*
2. I know that your body regulates engorgement. Usually after about 20 min or so, his sucking slows and I pull him off. Sometimes he wants to get back on so I offer him the same side. But it seems so empty. Should I be offering the other side? (which I do sometimes). At the next feeding, I start with the second side which seems even emptier if I let him have the second side.*
3.*Will I be adversely affecting my supply with one sided nursing? For the past 2 days, I don't feel very full and I am worried that my milk production is low.*
Thanks for your advice.

BERLIN (AP) — Chancellor Angela Merkel and her center-left rival sparred over Europe's debt crisis and how best to keep Germany's economy strong as they faced off Sunday in a televised debate ahead of Sept. 22 elections, with Merkel's challenger insisting that it makes no sense to apply a "deadly dose" of austerity to eurozone strugglers.
Challenger Peer Steinbrueck went into the 90-minute debate — the pair's only direct TV encounter of the campaign — facing a daunting poll deficit and needing a strong performance after a summer in which the opposition has struggled to land blows on the popular conservative incumbent.
Neither contender scored a knockout blow or made a major mistake, and polls conducted by broadcasters showed no clear winner. In his opening statement, Steinbrueck portrayed Germany as having "gone round in circles, without direction" under Merkel's center-right coalition over the past four years.
Merkel has benefited from a healthy economy, low unemployment and perceptions that she's managed Europe's debt crisis well. She touted that record as the debate opened, pointing to high employment and portraying Germany as "the motor of growth" and "the anchor of stability" in Europe.
Merkel's finance minister last month said that there will have to be a third aid program for Greece after the current one ends last year — something that the chancellor again insisted is nothing new.
Germany, with Europe's biggest economy, is the biggest contributor to the 17-nation eurozone's rescue programs. Merkel has pursued a hard-nosed approach — insisting that struggling countries get their finances in order, take responsibility for their own problems and enact economic reforms.
Steinbrueck asked "whether, with the announcement of a third Greek package, we shouldn't admit to ourselves that the crisis strategy to date — largely put forward by this government — has failed." He argued that "what is lacking is a rebuilding program, what is lacking is a growth impulse, what is lacking is the fight against youth unemployment."
"I would have said, of course there must be consolidation of public budgets — but please not in a deadly dose for these countries," he said.
Merkel noted that Steinbrueck's Social Democrats have voted for the various measures she has put forward in the crisis — including a European budget-discipline pact — and insisted that her approach is the way to fix the eurozone's troubles.
"Do we help by expressing regret about the difficult situation in these countries, or do we help by encouraging them to conduct the necessary reforms?" she asked.
"What is important now is not to show false solidarity, but to follow a principle — and this principle is ... solidarity and responsibility, and if we do not follow this through we will see that these countries don't regain more jobs," she said. Merkel pointed to efforts that have been made to encourage growth in Europe.
On the home front, Steinbrueck said he wants to ensure greater "social justice," introducing a mandatory national minimum wage — which Merkel rejects, preferring sector-by-sector agreements between employers and employees.
He defended plans to raise income tax for top earners. Merkel argued that raising taxes would risk endangering jobs, and pointed to the government's high tax take at present — "we must get by with that and we can get by with that."
Steinbrueck said that "we don't want to raise all taxes for everyone." He argued that the gap between rich and poor in Germany has widened over recent years, and the richest "have a responsibility to contribute more strongly to public financing," for example to pay for education and cut government debt.
The challenger insisted that Merkel's government still hasn't cleared up "what damage arose" to Germany as a result of surveillance by the U.S. National Security Agency — an issue that so far has failed to shift polls.
"On German soil, we have no reason at the moment to say that the NSA spies widely on Germans," Merkel said.
Recent surveys have given Merkel's conservative bloc a large lead over Steinbrueck's Social Democrats and suggested that her current center-right coalition can hope to win re-election.
Steinbrueck was Merkel's finance minister in her 2005-9 "grand coalition" of right and left — an experience that both insist they don't want to repeat, but could emerge from an indecisive election.

Silicon Shire: 'Eugene is a real hub for tech companies'
EUGENE, Ore. - California has the Silicon Valley. The Portland area is called the Silicon Forest.
Now Eugene's own silicon moniker is quietly gaining traction.
"Five years from now I see it being twice as big as it is now, maybe more," said Cale Bruckner of Concentric Sky.
Bruckner started the Silicon Shire last summer as an online directory of local companies.
The list is up to 150, raising the profile of local software, bio-tech and video game firms.
Bruckner said these companies have jobs waiting to be filled: tech firms face a local labor shortage because skilled college graduates leave the area in search of work.
"I was hearing from students at the university that they didn't think there were opportunities in town for them," Bruckner said.
Bruckner wants to slow this brain drain with closer networking with the University of Oregon, Oregon State and Lane Community College computer science departments.
An associate professor at the UO said he's learning about companies he's never heard of, like 4medica.
"Fifty one to 100 people - how did I not know they existed?" said Michal Young with the UO computer science department. "So now I do. Now we have ways of making some of those contacts."
The problem for local tech firms is not downsizing: it's being unable to fill all their job openings.
When local talent can't be found, the work gets outsourced. Firms would prefer to hire locally. That workforce could number 4,000 in Lane County in an industry with statewide average wages topping $86,000 per a year.
"To have that kind of movement where people can be more aware that Eugene is a real hub for tech companies only benefits us as we're growing," said Marci Hansen, marketing officer with Sheer ID.
Senator Ron Wyden met with software companies last summer in Eugene, discovering they had 100 job openings - but not enough applicants.
Hansen said future college grads should pay attention. She has two jobs to fill.
"Silicon Shire is a really good first step to try to reach those needs," she said.

Cookbook Review and Giveaway: Laura B. Russell's The Gluten-Free Asian Kitchen
That's where Russell's new cookbook is so useful. Our family loves all kinds of Asian foods and we've really loved trying out new ingredients and cooking techniques since La Vida Gluten Free rained down on us five or so years ago. The Gluten-Free Asian Kitchen has helpful descriptions of all kinds of Asian ingredients, including shopping tips to help you avoid varieties of noodles, sauces, marinades and spices that may contain gluten. A special chapter at the end of the book by Marcus Pakiser is devoted to the delights of drinking sake, fermented rice wine that comes in many varieties and pairs well with many of the dishes outlined in this book. Dan and I bought our first bottle of sake and have enjoyed sipping and cooking with this delicate tasting beverage.
The recipe section is very well-written and the author patiently and thoroughly explains various techniques for which novice Asian cooks may need extra hand holding. (that would be me!). So far I've made four wonderful recipes from this inspirational cookbook and I can tell that it will be a real workhorse in our cookbook library. There are many popular Asian foods that one can cook (Pot Stickers, Mu Shu Pork, Bibimbap) but also many unusual and innovative recipes (Stir-Fried Rice Cakes with Shrimp and Vegetables, Crabby Noodles with Snow Peas, Thai Coffee Macarons).
I have happily bespattered this great cookbook already, and the first dish I tackled was a simple and homey one, Braised Tofu in Mushroom Sauce (p. 126). The cookbook photo by Leo Gong is so much more delicious-looking than mine, but I can tell you that this was a fantastic recipe that I know I'll be making often, especially since I have lots of bags of garden green beans in the freezer. I used dried shiitake mushrooms (bought cheap at the Asian market) instead of the fresh ones called for in the recipe. That gave me the bonus of free mushroom broth from my soaking liquid for the luscious sauce, so that earned extra Crispy (and Frugal) Cook points.
By using the nonstick pan called for in Russell's recipe, I was finally able to keep my tofu cubes intact after cooking, and for that tip alone, I think this cookbook is a great investment. Russell calls for seasoning the tofu cubes with salt and pepper first and then dipping in potato starch, and this was some of the tastiest tofu I've had outside of a restaurant. You can check out this great recipe yourself at this link. (You can also find many more of Laura B. Russell's recipes on her website.)
I next whipped up a batch of Lemongrass Shrimp Skewers (p. 44) using lemongrass from my own garden patch (it lasted until October out there!). That was a heavenly and elegant dish. It's a little tricky working with the pulverized raw shrimp and shaping them around your skewer, but the aroma of these patties wafting off the barbeque grill was intoxicating. We served them over wonderfully-scented basmati rice and that was a killer meal.
After perusing all the tempting recipes made from many species of gluten-free noodles, I cooked up a batch of slightly lavender-colored Sweet Potato Noodles with(out Beef and) Vegetables (p. 91). They are pretty slippery characters, those Sweet Potato Noodles, so I appreciated Russell's tip about snipping them up with kitchen shears into manageable lengths to avoid wearing one's dinner.
Finally, I made a pile of Eggplant with Sweet Miso Glaze (p. 123), another dish with layers of flavor. I really loved this one, with its blend of smokiness, sweetness and creaminess. If I had fresh-picked eggplants, I would dispense with the step of soaking the eggplant slices in salted water, but mine were a week old at least and starting to get soft, so I'm sure this short brining removed a bit of bitterness.
I am really going to have fun trying all of Russell's pickled vegetable recipes next garden season and look forward to creating my own batches of pickled ginger and green curry paste. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning about Asian food traditions and cooking techniques. Using this cookbook as a guide to exploring various Asian foods, you can create restaurant-quality meals for your family and friends and noone will ask "is this gluten-free?", because they'll be too busy noshing away.
Celestial Arts has graciously offered to send a free copy of The Gluten-Free Asian Cookbook to one of you. All you need to do is leave a comment below telling me what Asian recipe you'd love to learn how to make yourself by Wednesday, November 23, 2011 (midnight Eastern Standard Time), and I'll randomly pick a winner. This giveaway offer is limited to readers living in the United States.
Note: I received a free copy of this cookbook from the publisher, but as always, I was not obligated to review it on the Crispy Cook. I was also given the opportunity to offer a copy as a giveaway to one of my readers.

Possible mammoth tooth found in waters off NH
Man hopes his next discovery is a tusk
Possible mammoth tooth found in waters off NH
Man hopes his next discovery is a tusk
A New Hampshire fisherman has discovered whale vertebrae, porpoise skulls and an old fuel tank that he thought was a treasure chest. Now, he may have hit the big time: a possible mammoth tooth.
Mike Anderson, of Rye, was fishing for scallops near Rye Harbor, N.H., on Tuesday when he noticed a 6-inch, triangular object.
Will Clyde, a University of New Hampshire associate professor of geology, says it may be a fossilized mammoth tooth.
He says mammoth and mastodon bones have been dragged up before in nearby waters, although they're more commonly found in the western and southern parts of the country. He wants to take a closer look.
Anderson tells the Portsmouth Herald he wants to find a tusk next.

The dollar fell as Treasury two-year yields declined for a second day on speculation lower-than- forecast job growth may prompt the Federal Reserve to be less aggressive when reducing monetary stimulus.
The yen weakened against its 16 most-traded peers as a report showed the nation's economy expanded faster than initially estimated and as Tokyo's winning bid to host the 2020 Olympics boosted optimism in the government's policies. Australia's dollar touched a six-week high and the South Korean won climbed to the highest level since May after a report showed China's exports increased. The Canadian dollar extended gains after building permits rose to a record in July.
"The dollar has been driven higher by front-end rates," Vassili Serebriakov, a foreign-exchange strategist at BNP Paribas SA in New York, said in a telephone interview. "The majority is still looking for tapering, but that view has probably become more questionable or less clear cut," he said of the market's view of Fed policy.
The Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against 10 major peers, fell for a second day and touched its lowest level since Aug. 28 before trading at 1,027.24 at 3:01 p.m. New York time.
The yen depreciated 0.5% to 99.57 per U.S. dollar. It reached 100.23 on Sept. 6, the weakest level since July 25. Japan's currency dropped 1.1% to 132.12 per euro. The dollar fell 0.7% to $1.3269 per euro, after advancing 0.3% last week.
Aussie Strength
Australia's dollar, which is down 11.1% this year, strengthened after data showed exports rose more than expected in China, its biggest trading partner. Overseas shipments rose 7.2% in August from a year earlier, the General Administration of Customs said in Beijing yesterday. That compares with the 5.5% median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg and July's 5.1% gain.
China's consumer prices rose 2.6% last month from a year earlier, the Beijing-based National Bureau of Statistics said today, matching the median economist estimate in a Bloomberg poll. Premier Li Keqiang is seeking to keep price gains within 3.5% this year.
The Aussie dollar rose 0.5% to 92.30 U.S. cents after touching the strongest since July 29.
South Korea's currency gained 0.5% to 1,086.80 against the greenback after touching 1.086.69, the strongest level since May 8. Brazil's real advanced 1.2% to 2.2783 per dollar after gaining 3.4% last week, the most since January 2012.
