Tag Archives: Tight Budget October 5, 2012 IndieGoGo Campaign: Send G.E. to the U.K.!
By gegallas Dear friends:
Time is running out, and I need your help!
I am trying to raise funds to go to Northern England for the filming of my short screenplay The Man Who Never Smiled, a contemporary film noir about the tragic fate of a father and his daughter. As the screenwriter, it is important for me to be on set for any last-minute changes. But the production company is working on a shoe-string budget and has no funds to get me there or even pay me. Please help me make my dream of becoming a professional screenwriter come true!
My Campaign: http://www.indiegogo.com/send-GE-to-UK
Your support will contribute to my travel and lodging expenses. Earn more perks with every donation level. Every dollar counts!
Also, please help spread the word through Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
–G. E.
My name is G. E. Gallas, and I am a screenwriter and graphic novelist (writer/illustrator). I will be making a trip to the U.K. early next year, and need your help to make my dreams come true!
1. My short screenplay, The Man Who Never Smiled (a contemporary film noir), is being produced by Dream Catcher Films in the North West of England. This film is being made on a tight budget, and there are no funds for me to get there. It’s important for me to be there during filming so that I can make on-the-spot changes to the script and get hands-on experience in film production.
2. In between filming will be the perfect opportunity to visit London to research the 18th-Century poet-painter William Blake, the hero of my graphic novel The Poet and the Flea. I plan to visit Blake’s grave as well as various museums that house his works. Seeing his works in person would be life changing. This would be my first time in England, and I hope to make this an unforgettable learning experience.
Your contributions will help cover expenses for transportation (airplane, train) and lodging. I truly appreciate any and all support, whether through contributions and/or spreading the word through social media (Twitter, etc.)!!
While in Europe, I plan to document my travels. When I return, I will share my photos and experiences with all of you through my blog gegallas.wordpress.com.
Gratefully,

« Wordless Wednesday: The Martin Sisters, 1958 | A Sunday Walk Around the Blogs » A Fellow Researcher Asks About the Neville and Price Families
On June 20, 2009, I received the following comment on a previous blog article I’d written for my old blog at Today.com, Tombstone Tuesday: Edward Coffee and Elizabeth Neville Coffee. Since I’m no longer able to access that blog, I thought I would post and answer the comment here:
Hi, this is very interesting. I have visited this cemetery and have seen these stones. Elizabeth was a sister of Rebecca Neville. Their father and mother were Jesse and Margarette McCarter Neville who are buried in the old Neville Cemetery just outside of Walhalla. Jessie had a plantation at the site of the cemetery, so I assume that the girls were born in what is now Oconee County. Rebecca is my ggggggrandmother, having married William Price. I am looking for their graves, but not having any luck. He died in RABUN County, Ga in 1825. Rebecca lived to be 94 and also died there. Do you know much more about the Neville family? I would love to know more and would love to know what you have. If you should find their graves, please let me know by my private e-mail address. Thank you, Sue D.
Thanks for writing, Sue. Unfortunately, I know very little about the Neville family except what I’ve learned from other researchers or local history books (e.g. Sketches of Rabun County History by Dr. Andrew J. Ritchie). As for Rabun County burials, try the USGenWeb Archives for Rabun County. At the top of the page is a link to the search engine. After clicking on that link, enter the surname, select the county and record type, and then hit the search button. Most of the burial grounds for Rabun County were surveyed and placed online in about 1998 by Elaine and Bill English, a local couple who are avid historians.
I can tell you from personal experience that there aren’t many graves marked by engraved tombstones in this area from the early to mid-1820s. I’m not certain why that is, because there were certainly residents who died during that time period, and many were more than able to afford to erect a stone. Part of the reason may have been because Rabun County was still very much a wilderness in 1825, in spite of the influx of white settlers and businessmen. It’s also possible that many of the earliest graves were marked by engraved tombstones, but years of weathering may have eroded the stones to the point of illegibility.
You may be able to narrow down possible burial sites by comparing early land records for William and Rebecca Neville Price against the original land lot maps and modern maps to find nearby burial grounds. If you can find where they lived, you may also be able to locate the church they attended, if any, and find burial or other records that way.
I wish you well with your search.

Video: How does politics change in the age of the real-time social web?
By Mathew Ingram
Jun. 7, 2012 - 2:49 PM PDT Jun. 7, 2012 - 2:49 PM PDT 2 Comments A
How have blogs and Twitter and other forms of social media changed the nature of the political process and the media reporting of that process? At paidContent 2012, I talked with Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo and Vivian Schiller of NBC News about that question.
Politics used to be a very controlled and almost theatrical process, with politicians and other political actors appearing in carefully scripted events — and the reporting and analysis of those events was also restricted to certain specific media channels: a couple of TV networks, one or two major newspapers, and so on. Now that we have blogs and Twitter and other forms of social media, how has that changed the nature of both the political process and the media reporting of that process? At paidContent 2012 in New York recently, I asked Talking Points Memo founder Josh Marshall and NBC News digital head Vivian Schiller for their perspective on that question and you can hear their answers in the video embedded below.
Marshall, the editor and publisher of the ground-breaking political blog network, said that social media has really just accelerated the process of breaking down those traditional barriers — a process that started with the arrival of blogs about a decade ago:
I see it as a progression over the past dozen or so years, of a more and more frictionless news cycle, and what we’re today calling social media has just accelerated that. The other major transformation is an increase in key vectors in the news — the way the New York Times used to be a dominant vector in how news was propagated, along with the big TV networks and other big metropolitan dailies. With the growth of blogs and the beginnings of social media, you have a more fluid and unstable ecosystem of news.
Schiller, who was previously CEO at National Public Radio before joining NBC’s news division, said that for a media entity like NBC, social media has a way of amplifying the stories that come up in other formats. For three weeks in a row, she said, comments that politicians — including Cory Booker, Jamie Dimon and Joe Biden — made on the TV program Meet The Press became a national story thanks to the power of social media. “Meet The Press is about as old media as you can get,” said Schiller. “But those events ricocheted around the world — that’s social media.”
Both the panelists also said that one of the positive things about social media and its role in the news and political ecosystem is that some events that are trivial or unworthy of attention can “burn out” more quickly when they are exposed to the glare of Twitter and the blogosphere, whereas they might have taken on a life of their own and dominated the discussion in newspapers or on TV networks before social media. And Schiller said despite the fact that Twitter and other forms of social media can be filled with a lot of worthless noise, overall the impact has been positive for both politics and the media as a whole:
Of course there’s a lot of garbage in social media, but there’s a lot of garbage in every form of media, from the beginning of time. But I think that all of the kinds of access and the ways people can interact with content, for politics, it’s all good.

Declarations of Independence: Women's rights and the Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions
Under the leadership of Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a convention for the rights of women was held in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. It was attended by between 200 and 300 people, both women and men. Its primary goal was to discuss the rights of women—how to gain these rights for all, particularly in the political arena. The conclusion of this convention was that the effort to secure equal rights across... | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/303 | {"url": "http://gilderlehrman.org/community/tags/women", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "gilderlehrman.org", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:26:39Z", "digest": "sha1:X7R73MKPSV22R75BNDQPWMFPLHDK6I43"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 843, 843.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 843, 2903.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 843, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 843, 106.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 843, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 843, 233.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 843, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 843, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 843, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 843, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 843, 0.35185185]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 843, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 843, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 843, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 843, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 843, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 843, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 843, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 843, 0.02936858]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 843, 0.04698972]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 843, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 843, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 843, 0.28571429]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 843, 0.15432099]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 843, 0.63043478]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 843, 4.93478261]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 843, 0.01234568]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 843, 4.18885238]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 843, 138.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 35, 0.0], [35, 183, 1.0], [183, 257, 0.0], [257, 294, 1.0], [294, 312, 0.0], [312, 420, 0.0], [420, 843, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 35, 0.0], [35, 183, 0.0], [183, 257, 0.0], [257, 294, 0.0], [294, 312, 0.0], [312, 420, 0.0], [420, 843, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 35, 6.0], [35, 183, 25.0], [183, 257, 12.0], [257, 294, 5.0], [294, 312, 2.0], [312, 420, 14.0], [420, 843, 74.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 35, 0.0], [35, 183, 0.0], [183, 257, 0.0], [257, 294, 0.0], [294, 312, 0.0], [312, 420, 0.0], [420, 843, 0.02421308]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 35, 0.0], [35, 183, 0.0], [183, 257, 0.0], [257, 294, 0.0], [294, 312, 0.0], [312, 420, 0.0], [420, 843, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 35, 0.05714286], [35, 183, 0.06756757], [183, 257, 0.12162162], [257, 294, 0.02702703], [294, 312, 0.11111111], [312, 420, 0.07407407], [420, 843, 0.03073286]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 843, 0.74956977]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 843, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 843, 0.0957306]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 843, -30.37263524]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 843, -5.09949926]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 843, 1.22132993]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 843, 8.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

Macro Cultural Psychology
A Political Philosophy of Mind
Carl Ratner
Presents new theory in culture and psychology, while surveying the entire field of cultural psychology
Takes a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates philosophy, biology, sociology, history, and anthropology
Applies cultural psychological theory to numerous theoretical and practical issues
This book articulates a bold, new, systematic theory of psychology, culture, and their interrelation. It explains how macro cultural factors -- social institutions, cultural artifacts, and cultural concepts -- are the cornerstones of society and how they form the origins and characteristics of psychological phenomena. This theory is used to explain the diversity of psychological phenomena such as emotions, self, intelligence, sexuality, memory, reasoning, perception, developmental processes, and mental illness. Ratner draws upon Lev Vygotsky's sociocultural psychology, Bronfenbrenner's ecological psychology, as well as work in sociology, anthropology, history, and geography, to explore the political implications and assumptions of psychological theories regarding
social policy and reform. The theory outlined here addresses current theoretical and political issues such as agency, realism, objectivity, subjectivism, structuralism, postmodernism, and multiculturalism. In this sense, the book articulates a systematic political philosophy of mind to examine numerous approaches to psychology, including indigenous psychology, cross-cultural psychology, activity theory, discourse analysis, mainstream psychology, and evolutionary psychology.

Author Information Carl Ratner is the Director of The Institute for Cultural Research and Education in Northern California. He has written widely on cultural psychology and qualitative methodology. He has been a professor of social psychology and has also spent extensive periods abroad, including time in Saudi Arabia, five months at Nehru University in India, and two years in China, where he was among the few instructors to teach social psychology after a decades-long ban. He was a visiting scholar in the Laboratory of Comparative Human Cognition, Stanford University School of Education, and Penn State Center for Language Acquisition. He has also been the recipient of two Fulbright Fellowships and has given numerous workshops on cultural psychology and qualitative methodology in Spain,
Taiwan, Germany, England, and other countries. Ratner was on the founding editorial board of the journal Culture & Psychology. He has been active in the American cooperative movement. Contributors:
"An audacious, creative work that explains, extends, and enriches cultural psychology. Ratner discusses the full range of psychological phenomena and shows why they are cultural. Ratner probes more deeply into society than most other psychologists have, and he explains how culture, psychological phenomena, and psychological theories have political foundations and implications. This book is a gold mine of ideas about addressing social and psychological problems of our time." -- Per F. Gjerde, Professor of Psychology, University of California, Santa Cruz
"Macro Cultural Psychology is a phenomenal volume that demands the attention of not only working psychologists, but of everyone toiling in all branches of the social sciences. To ignore Ratner's message is to do a great disservice to one's profession and to those whose lives are impacted by social science research." -- James Lantolf, Greer Professor of Language Acquisition and Applied Linguistics, and Director, Center for Language Acquisition, Pennsylvania State University
"A fresh look at cultural psychology that produces a whole new understanding of how the mind works in relation to the society we live in. Ratner offers a new understanding of society itself, with powerful implications for social and psychological improvement. He constructs a well-reasoned philosophical argument and presents interesting examples from all areas of the social sciences to make the theory readily understandable. Ratner brings needed order to the broad study of psychology and culture." -- Franz Breuer, Professor of Psychology, University of Muenster, Germany
"In a hard-hitting style, the author shows how even cultural psychologists fail to notice the insidious effects of a consumer culture within capitalist societies. This book presents a holistic perspective that is a much needed corrective to the individualistic and molecular approach of the mainstream of modern psychology. It will be an eye-opener for any social scientist today." -- DDS Anand C. Paranjpe, Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychology, Simon Fraser University, Canada
"This book is important, impressive, and inspiring. Ratner applies cultural psychology to a wealth of psychical phenomena, including emotions, self, agency, perception, cognition, memory, developmental processes, mental illness, gender, and sexuality. The work is truly multidisciplinary as it draws on examples from history, anthropology, sociology, and geography. Ratner also provides an exciting new interpretation of Vygotsky's work, elucidating its macro cultural concepts and extending them." -- Jacob A. Belzen, Professor of Psychology, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands

Jun 24, 9:42 am World Cup Live: Paraguay vs. New Zealand
By CHUCK CULPEPPER Data by Match Analysis Pop-Up Dashboard Sustaining South American dominance in South Africa, Paraguay edged into the knockout round for the third time in the last four quadrenniums in a tepid, goalless affair in Polokwane that closed down New Zealand’s daydream World Cup.
By winning Group F with five points on two draws and one win, Paraguay became the fourth South American team to surpass the group stage with Chile favored to make it five, while New Zealand ended with three draws including one with Italy, the defending World Cup champion that figured to have a breezy time with this group but wound up staring upward at all of it.
While New Zealand’s toothy defense kept Paraguay from flashing the creativity that had drawn it plaudits in its previous two matches, the Paraguayans did manage the feat of advancing without qualifying-stage top scorer Salvador Cabanas, who survived a gunshot wound to the head in a Mexico City nightclub in January and could not participate, but in whose honor the Paraguayans have played thus far.
In the final 93 minutes toward that end in group play, the goalkeepers spent the late afternoon almost completely untroubled, especially Justo Villar of Paraguay, as the match showcased both New Zealand’s lacking in offensive flair and its rock-solid collective gut that enabled the Kiwis to energize their fans in the group-stage fortnight. Mark Paston, the All Whites’ 33-year-old goalkeeper, did have to make a few able saves against the exploits of Oscar Cardozo, Roque Santa Cruz and Denis Caniza, and then one after a late corner on a header from Cristian Riveros that tested Paston’s reflexes, but none rated spectacular. Paraguay did have possession 58 percent of the time.
The All Whites, in only their second World Cup and first since 1982, wound up with a zero goal difference after a minus-10 in 1982, showing resolute organization and occasionally flirting with outright survival from the group as Slovakia-Italy played concurrently. Paraguay, in heading for a round-of-16 match likely with either Japan or Denmark, became not only the fourth South American team to advance, but the third to clinch its group outright.
Jun 23, 10:28 pm Looking Ahead to Thursday’s Matchups
By ANDREW KEH Slovakia vs. Italy
10 a.m. Eastern
TV: ESPN, TeleFutura
A win for Italy over Slovakia in Johannesburg would allow the underperforming defending champion to salvage a berth in the second round. Italy’s Andrea Pirlo, a sophisticated playmaker, returned to practice Monday for the first time since injuring his calf June 3. It is unclear if he will play Thursday, but Italy’s stagnant offense could use his creativity. Slovakia’s 22-year-old captain, Marek Hamsik, much hyped before the Cup, has had no influence in his team’s first two games.
Paraguay vs. New Zealand
TV: ESPN2, Univision
New Zealand can guarantee itself an unexpected place in the second round by defeating Paraguay in Polokwane. Two ties in group play will not always confer Cinderella status on a team. But the Kiwis are ranked 78th in the world, and in their only other Cup appearance, in 1982, they let in 12 goals and lost all three matches. Mark Paston and the Kiwi defense have allowed only two goals. Paraguay, which leads Group F with 4 points, is a tactically sound unit and should make it hard for New Zealand to earn more than a tie.
Denmark vs. Japan
2:30 p.m. Eastern TV: ESPN, TeleFutura
A spot in the second round will be the prize when Denmark and Japan meet in Rustenburg. The teams are tied with 3 points each, and a win for either would grant it a ticket out of the group along with the Netherlands. In the case of a tie, Japan would advance with its superior goal differential. Striker Nicklas Bendtner, troubled recently by a groin muscle injury, will be Denmark’s target player up front.
Cameroon vs. Netherlands
2:30 p.m. Eastern
With their fates already decided, the Netherlands and Cameroon meet for a meaningless match in Cape Town. The Dutch won their first two games to clinch their place in the knockout stage. Without much on the line, Coach Bert van Marwijk may use the match to test the legs of Arjen Robben, the talented wing who has been out with a hamstring injury. Cameroon has already been eliminated.
Jun 20, 9:10 am World Cup Live: Italy vs. New Zealand
By ANDREW DAS Data by Match Analysis Pop-Up Dashboard Italy, the defending World Cup champion, remained in danger of crashing out of the tournament after it was held to a 1-1 tie by New Zealand on Sunday in Nelspruit.
Shane Smeltz gave the Kiwis a stunning lead in the seventh minute. Smeltz had run into an offside position on a free kick, but the referee ruled that he had been played on by an Italian’s touch as the ball soared into the penalty area.
Italy tied the score on Vincenzo Iaquinto’s penalty kick in the 29th minute. Daniele De Rossi had drawn the penalty when he went down after New Zealand defender Tommy Smith grabbed his shirt, and the tie score seem to infuse the Italians with a little life. But New Zealand, playing five men across the back in front of goalkeeper Mark Paston, held firm and posted its second straight 1-1 tie.
Italy and New Zealand each have two points from two games, and trail Paraguay, which has four. Only the top two teams in the group will advance to the second round. Italy can still save itself; it will finish the first round with a game against Slovakia, which is last in the group with one point, on Thursday. New Zealand’s final game is against Paraguay, which will be looking to win to ensure that it will not have to face the Netherlands, the likely Group E winner, in the second round.
But New Zealand can also advance with a win or a tie (and the right result in the Italy game), meaning the race for the two spots will go down to the final minutes of group play.
6:16 p.m. |Too good not to add
Our own Rob Mackey send along some gems from the New Zealand Herald’s live coverage of the match:
94:30 That’s it! What a performance from the All Whites. if you thought gaining a point against Slovakia was something, how about holding world champion Italy to a 1-1 draw! Heroic, inspired and glorious!
94:31 If you’re not proud to be a Kiwi right now, get in a boat and leave! There might be a few coming the other way to take your place! No time for sleep, either … get out and celebrate!

Jun 19, 11:25 pm Sunday’s Matchups: Slovakia vs. Paraguay, Italy vs. New Zealand, Brazil vs. Ivory Coast
By ANDREW KEH Slovakia vs. Paraguay
Group F
TV: ESPN, Univision
The outlook in Group F remains fuzzy after both opening matches ended as 1-1 ties, and the pole position will be up for grabs when Slovakia and Paraguay resume play in Bloemfontein. Slovakia, frustrated after conceding a late tying goal to New Zealand, will once again ask Stanislav Sestak and Vladimir Weiss to create chances in attack. The Paraguayan defense did well to sit back and frustrate Italy, the defending World Cup champion, but the team may look to come out of its shell a bit more as points become increasingly precious. Italy vs. New Zealand
New Zealand was delighted last week after an injury-time equalizer against Slovakia gave the country its first-ever World Cup point. The Kiwis are gunning for a much bigger upset when they face Italy, a four-time Cup winner, in Nelspruit. Creaky legs and musty ideas hindered Italy in its 1-1 tie with Paraguay. Federico Marchetti is set to start in goal because Gianluigi Buffon, one of the world’s best keepers, has a herniated disk in his back. Brazil vs. Ivory Coast
TV: ABC, Univision
Brazil withstood an unexpected challenge from North Korea — it won, 2-1, but rather unconvincingly. As a World Cup favorite, Brazil will look to re-establish its high standard of play against Ivory Coast in Johannesburg. Kaká, considered among the world’s elite players, continues to look out of sorts for Brazil, and Robinho, who galvanized his team in the second half of the first match, could be entrusted with more offensive responsibility. Didier Drogba, wearing a controversial plastic cast while recovering from a broken right arm, said he was ready to rejoin the Ivorian starting lineup after playing 24 minutes against Portugal. Jun 15, 9:30 pm A Point at Last for the All Whites
By JEFFREY MARCUS Slovakia was seconds from winning the team’s first World Cup game in its first trip to the tournament when New Zealand right back Winston Reid capped seven minutes of sustained pressure with a goal to tie the game, 1-1, on Tuesday.
“That’s a minor sporting tragedy for us,” Slovakia Coach Vladimir Weiss said. “It’s incredibly frustrating, the way we failed to take our chances and then conceded a last-minute equalizer.”
But Reid was ecstatic. It was the 21-year-old’s first international goal in only his fourth appearance for the national team. Though he was born in New Zealand, Reid was raised in Denmark and played for the Danish under-21 team before committing to New Zealand in March. He celebrated wildly, pulling off his jersey and sprinting around the end of the field.
“That was the most important goal of my life,” Reid said. “I actually didn’t see the ball. I saw it late. When I saw it coming, I knew I just had to guide it on goal and not hit it too hard and it would go in.”
Jun 15, 7:09 am Resilient Kiwis Steal a Valuable Point From Slovakia
By ANDREW KEH Data by Match Analysis Pop-Up Dashboard
A wild finish capped off an otherwise tepid match in Rustenburg, as New Zealand, the secondthird-lowest ranked team at the World Cup, clawed back in injury time to snatch a game-tying goal and a valuable point from Slovakia.
The Kiwis fell behind in the 50th minute, when Robert Vittek headed in a beautiful cross from the right flank from Stanislav Sestak, and looked to be headed for a loss as they failed to put together any semblance of a convincing attack.
But in the third minute of injury time, Winston Reid, New Zealand’s right fullback, somehow found himself inside the box, completely unmarked, with a floating cross from Shane Smeltz headed straight at him. Reid made no mistake in directing the ball into the lower right corner of the net, where Jan Mucha had no chance to save it, to tie the score, 1-1.
Slovakia will now rue not producing a second goal sometime during the 90 minutes of play they largely dominated. Sestak combined well with Vladimir Weiss throughout the game on the right side of the field, creating one dangerous chance after another. But the end result was not there for the Slovaks, who face tougher competition — Paraguay and Italy — in their next two matches.
The tie gave New Zealand, which made its only other tournament appearance in 1982, its first ever World Cup point.

Jun 14, 11:47 pm Tuesday’s Matchups: New Zealand vs. Slovakia, Ivory Coast vs. Portugal and Brazil vs. North Korea
By ANDREW KEH New Zealand vs. Slovakia
7:30 a.m. Eastern TV: ESPN, Univision
New Zealand looks to be overmatched heading into this game in Rustenburg. Fielding a somewhat anonymous squad, the All Whites’ most noteworthy player is Ryan Nelsen, who played for Stanford University and D.C. United before joining Blackburn in England, where he is the club’s captain. In this weak group, Slovakia is a favorite to advance to the Round of 16. Marek Hamsik, 22, a precocious central midfielder, scored 12 goals for Napoli this season and will direct Slovakia’s offense. Group F Analysis
Ivory Coast vs. Portugal
Ivory Coast and Portugal meet in Port Elizabeth for the opening match of Group G, which is perhaps the most competitive in the tournament.
Cristiano Ronaldo, runner-up in voting for FIFA’s world player of the year, propels the Portuguese offense from the wings, but he has not scored for his country in 16 months. Ivory Coast hopes to have striker Didier Drogba, the English Premier League’s top scorer, who broke his arm June 4. But Coach Sven-Goran Eriksson said he would wait until the last moment to decide about Drogba’s participation in the match. Group G Analysis
Brazil vs. North Korea
This is a meeting of the top-ranked team in the world, Brazil, and the lowest-ranked team at the World Cup, North Korea, in Johannesburg. The chasm in talent is prodigious, and save for a freakish occurrence, Brazil should win easily. Much has been made about how this incarnation of Brazil plays more defensively under Coach Dunga — but that is a relative concept for a squad that sends out attacking stars like Kaká, Robinho and Luís Fabiano.

By CHUCK CULPEPPER Ciro Fusco/ANSA, via European Pressphoto Agency Italian Coach Marcello Lippi at a news conference on Wednesday. Its roster may creak with soccer dotage, but if Italy can’t clamber out of this lukewarm group and into the knockout round, it would foment the kind of national indignation that visits many a football country and provides one of the last great forms of free entertainment.

New Zealand turns up from an Oceania division shorn of ambitious Australia, which relocated to the Asian group and left the Kiwis to muscle through Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Fiji and, finally, Bahrain to wreak rare nonrugby revelry in Wellington.
Starless Slovakia, which thought and toughed its way atop a group that included the Czech Republic and Poland, appears for the ninth time technically, but for the first as its own word rather than as part of the last-century noun “Czechoslovakia.”
And while Paraguay is nobody’s novice — four straight appearances from an unforgiving continent — its top scorer from its excellent qualifying campaign, Salvador Cabanas, will not figure to play, having lived the early months of 2010 with a bullet in his head, overshadowing Paraguay’s chronic yearning for an elusive berth in the quarterfinals.
Mar 19, 12:04 pm Kiwi Captain Learned Premier League Defense in M.L.S.
By MATTHEW HALL Simon Dawson/Associated Press Ryan Nelsen, right, wears the captains arm band for Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League and for the New Zealand national team.
Ryan Nelsen was five years old the last time New Zealand took part in the World Cup finals. His memories are vague – it was 1982 – but the current Kiwi captain does recall his father waking him after midnight to sleepily watch games beamed in from far off Spain.
That New Zealand side, a team of part-timers, quickly returned home after losses to Scotland, the Soviet Union, and Brazil, conceding 12 goals along the way.
They did score twice in a 5-2 defeat to a Scottish team led by Kenny Dalglish.
Twenty-eight years later, Nelsen will lead New Zealand in South Africa when the World Cup begins in June.

Drawn in Group F with Italy, Paraguay, and Slovakia, expectations in New Zealand haven’t changed much since the 1980s but if the reaction to its dramatic 1-0 win over Bahrain in a play-off last November is any guide, soccer has finally awoken in a nation usually mad for rugby.
“It has broken the mold for the traditional sports fan who has been going to rugby or cricket. They have been saying, ‘Well, actually, we are quite enjoying this’,” said Nelsen in a telephone interview from his home in Altrincham, England, near Manchester, where he plays for Blackburn Rovers of the Premier League.
With a population of just over 4 million, the All-Whites (named as a counter point to country’s rugby team, the All-Blacks) will be representing one of the world’s smallest countries at the World Cup.
“We hope we get more youngsters involved and hopefully they stay with the game, they stick at it,” said Nelsen, his country’s highest profile soccer player. “The goal is to continue to ride the wave. It is not to be the number one sport.”
Nelsen, 32, rode his own wave into the Blackburn Rovers defense when he moved to the Premier League side in 2005 from D.C. United of Major League Soccer. Nelsen joked – sort of – that his own soccer career had been a “fluke”.
“I actually hurt my leg fairly badly when I was a teenager and that was a bit of a wake up call,” he explained. “To get an education was a bit of a safety net.”
Oct 2, 5:00 am For New Zealand, Destination Bahrain
By JACK BELL Andrew Boyens will travel this week to California with the Red Bulls and probably assume his spot in central defense against the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night. After that he will keep right on traveling west — first to his native New Zealand and then on to Bahrain for the first leg of a home-and-away series that will send the winner to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
• The Red Bulls’ trip to San Jose, Calif., is the second game in a difficult string of three straight road games. The team played a 1-1 draw against Chivas USA last week in Carson, Calif. Next week, the Red Bulls will travel to Utah to play Real Salt Lake in their final road game of a long and disappointing M.L.S. season.
• With his goal last week against Chivas USA, striker Juan Pablo Angel became the club’s career leading goal-scorer in all competitions, netting his 46th goal in his 78th appearance for the team. Angel surpassed Clint Mathis, who scored 45 goals in 100 games for the MetroStars/Red Bulls.
• Angel, in addition, has been the most prolific regular-season goal-scorer in M.L.S. since he joined the Red Bulls from Aston Villa of England in April 2007. In 70 league games, Angel has 43 goals compared with Luciano Emilio (40 in 80 games) and Landon Donovan (38 in 72 games). • When Toronto added the flag of Canada, the Maple Leaf, to the jersey sleeves of its players, M.L.S. instructed its 15 U.S. based clubs to affix the Stars and Stripes to their jerseys. Wondering if it might be more instructive and interesting, not to mention colorful, to instead have players wear the flags of their native lands on their sleeves.
“I guess it’s the same thing it means to all footballers,” said Boyens, who has made 12 appearances for his national team. “That’s the pinnacle. That’s what you dream of when you’re a kid growing up, waiting to be a footballer. We’re a couple of games away from it. You don’t want to get too excited. It’s pretty exciting times.”
The first leg of the two-game series will be played in Manama, Bahrain, on Oct. 10, with the return match scheduled for Wellington on Nov. 14. New Zealand advanced to the playoff after winning the Oceania regional tournament while Bahrain defeated Saudi Arabia in a playoff in the Asian region.
For New Zealand’s soccer team, which is known as the All Whites (the country’s rugby team is the All Blacks), a victory over Bahrain would send it to its first World Cup since 1982 in Spain.
“It’s hard,” Boyens said. “We’re always going to be in the shadow of rugby and cricket. But I think if we were to go to a World Cup, the same way as the smaller countries really get behind their teams in the World Cup kind of environment, I think New Zealand is going to come out and do that for us as well. You’re never going to get the 40,000 people to come along to a game like the All Blacks do, but if we’re lucky we might get 20,000 or 30,000 for that home leg.”
The team’s coach, Ricki Herbert, and assistant, Brian Turner, both played on that 1982 World Cup team.
“There’s a lot of history there,” Boyens, 26, said. “They talk about it and they’re so excited about it. That’s the drive that they’re pushing for us to get back there. They said it was one of those amazing experience that you will never forget in your life.”
Boyens was part of the All Whites team that played in the FIFA Confederations Cup in June.
“That was a little preview, and it was great,” Boyens said. The New Zealand roster:
Goalkeepers: James Bannatyne (Team Wellington/New Zealand), Mark Paston (Wellington Phoenix/New Zealand), Jacob Spoonley (Auckland City/New Zealand)
Defenders: Andrew Boyens (Red Bulls/M.L.S.), Tony Lochhead (Wellington Phoenix/New Zealand), David Mulligan (Wellington Phoenix/New Zealand), Ryan Nelsen (Blackburn Rovers/England), Aaron Scott (Waitakere United/New Zealand), Ben Sigmund (Wellington Phoenix/New Zealand), Ivan Vicelich (Auckland City/New Zealand)
Midfielders: Andy Barron (Team Wellington/New Zealand), Leo Bertos (Wellington Phoenix/New Zealand), Tim Brown (Wellington Phoenix/New Zealand), Simon Elliott (San Jose Earthquakes/M.L.S.), Michael McGlinchey (Central Coast Mariners/Australia)
Forwards: Rory Fallon (Plymouth Argyle/England), Chris Killen (Celtic/Scotland), Shane Smeltz (Gold Coast United/Australia), Chris Wood (West Bromwich Albion/England) Dec 4, 7:56 pm U.S. vs. North Korea, Redux
By JACK BELL Perhaps it has something to do with the air in the Southern Hemisphere. Or maybe it is the approach of summer on the opposite end of the globe. Then again, perhaps 60 years of enmity between the two countries can never be discounted.
Whatever the reasons, a United States women’s national team will be playing a team from North Korea for a global title for the second time in less than one month.
On Thursday before 15,548 spectators at Estadio Fernando Sánchez Rumoroso in Coquimbo, Chile, the United States rode Sydney Leroux’s first-half goal into the final of the FIFA U-20 World Cup in a 1-0 victory against Germany. An American women’s team has advanced to the last three major international finals: the Olympics, U-17 and U-20 championships.
Only hours earlier, North Korea ousted France in the other semifinal, 2-1, in Temuco.
Leroux’s goal was her fifth of the tournament. She scored in the 21st minute off a cross from Nikki Washington. North Korea will be trying to defend the title it won two years ago in Russia when it takes the field in the Chilean capital Santiago on Sunday against the United States. The United States won the tournament, when it was an under-19 event, in 2002.

Two Men, a Canoe, and Large Blue Bundles
June 17, 2011 by S. Grady Barrett 2 Comments Tweet
After moving to a new neighborhood, S. Grady Barrett struggled to fit in, so his father took him camping and taught him how to survive.
With a few quick, whipping motions followed by a guided glide to the ground, my father laid out a large blue tarpaulin on the cement floor of the garage. He made sure that it was perfectly flat by smoothing it out with his hands and placed large rocks on each corner, so not even a gust of wind could disturb his progress.
He then took the first piece of the camping equipment that was scattered in the driveway and strategically placed it in the middle of the tarp. Then another and another. After several pieces of equipment were arranged in an organized heap, he stood with his hands on his hips, staring at what he had created, squinting one eye and curling his tongue out over the corner of his mouth. After a few moments, an item—a sleeping bag, perhaps—was deemed to be in the wrong place and was removed from the plastic canvas then set off to the side to wait its turn again.
Finally, when each item was in its perfect place, he folded the corners of the tarpaulin over the gear then fed white rope through the brass-ringed holes at the tarp’s corners and lashed the bundle closed. It was a fine piece of hillbilly engineering.
♦◊♦
The school year had ended a few months earlier, and we were in the thick of summer. My days were spent alone pedaling my bicycle around the neighborhood as fast as my legs could muster or skateboarding down the steepest hills I could find. The evenings were spent on the back patio, watching my parents drink wine and listening to my mother and father tell stories about our family in Texas and Arkansas and Oklahoma, while cicadas croaked harmonies from the trees.
During the week, while my father was at work and my mother was finishing her master’s degree, I was expected to do chores. Mostly, the work consisted of doing my own laundry and dishes, and doing some yard work once a week: mow and edge the lawn, trim the hedges, and sweep and wash down the driveway. This was the first summer my father trusted me to take care of the lawn, and the first time he set me to the task, he was sorely disappointed.
“What is this?” he asked. “You just mowed the lawn?”
“That’s what you told me to do,” I responded sheepishly. I was surprised at his tone because I thought I had done a good job.
“Look at that,” he said, pointing to the bushes at the front of our house. “Those need to be trimmed. And you didn’t edge the lawn either, like I showed you.”
“You didn’t tell me to do that,” I said. “You just told me to mow the lawn.”
He looked at me, his face colored a shade of frustration. “Son, you better learn how to think beyond what you’re told to do.”
I wasn’t sure what that meant, because at that point in my life, if I wasn’t told to do something, I didn’t know to do it, let alone how. It seemed his message was that I’d have to figure out most things on my own.
Despite the boredom of being home all summer, like every child, I was happy to have the break from school. I was also relieved to be away from the other kids and their snobbish comments about the way I dressed or their utter amazement that I didn’t know certain social graces.
Two years earlier, during the summer before I started fifth grade, my family moved from Lombard, a suburb a little more than 20 miles west of Chicago, to the exclusive suburb of Kenilworth, which was less than 20 miles north of the city, but a raised pinky and an upturned nose away from Lombard. We moved fairly often—once every three or four years, it seemed: from Dallas to St. Louis and back again, then from St. Louis to Lombard, and now, from Lombard to Kenilworth.
I was introduced to Kenilworth’s social norms on my first day of fifth grade. I literally got off on the wrong foot with the other kids by almost getting into a fight with an eighth grader who made fun of the white athletic shoes I wore to school, a pair of shoes that my father had urged me to wear. He was sure the other kids would think the shoes looked “sharp.”
They weren’t football cleats, exactly, but shoes that were made for playing on artificial surfaces, something for which I would never have a need. The shoes had a large, white leather tongue that folded over the laces and black soles with little cleats that looked like tiny rubber nipples. To make matters worse, my father purchased them a size too large, so I could grow into the shoes as the school year progressed.
As I walked across the blacktop playing area where all the kids gathered before school, I heard someone say, “Hey! Nice shoes, kid!”
On every other playground I had ever been, rude comments to unknown people were invitations to a fight. Part of me was horrified and embarrassed. Another part of me, however, saw an opportunity to send a message to those who would bother me: I wasn’t going to take any shit.
In Lombard, I fought frequently. It was a matter of course. The boys fought because of playground disagreements, because someone was frustrated and didn’t know what else to do, or simply to see who was stronger. Even the girls were prone to kneeing a boy in the crotch if they didn’t like the way he behaved, anything from not returning playground affections to correctly answering a question in class.
I walked over to the kid who made the shoe comment and said, “Nice face, asshole.” Then I cordially asked if he’d like to fight.
The boy was shocked. Children didn’t fight in Kenilworth. This preppy little boy—with the upturned collar of his Polo shirt and his Ray-Ban sunglasses hanging from a thin cord around his neck—didn’t know what to do.
He nervously laughed a little. “Are you serious?” he asked.
“Yeah,” I said.
He laughed a little more. “I didn’t mean anything, you know. I was just … admiring … your shoes.”
“Yeah. OK. But it sounded like you wanna fight,” I said. “Don’t you wanna fight?”
“No, no!” he said, shaking his head and waving his hands, implying that he wouldn’t ever physically fight with someone about something so trivial.
I believed him but wanted to press him a bit further, to let him know I meant business and to make the situation so uncomfortable that he wouldn’t ever think of fucking with me again. I took a quick step in his direction, but my shoes were so large that I tripped over my own feet. Although I quickly caught my balance, the tide of the confrontation had turned. The other boys who had gathered around began to laugh at me. The moment had passed for fighting.
Feeling a bit befuddled, I walked away, believing that I had been right to stand my ground. After I was a good distance away from him, I heard the boy shout, “Don’t scuff your shoes!” The comment was followed by gales of laughter from the older boys. This time, I continued on my way, hearing for the first time the clomping sound my shoes made on the asphalt as I walked.
The rest of the school year went similarly, with me trying to learn Kenilworth’s rules of social engagement and getting everything wrong each time. Other children weren’t allowed at my house because my parents were rarely home to supervise. I couldn’t go to other children’s houses because my parents didn’t know to make an appointment. I didn’t have the right clothes. I didn’t enunciate words clearly. I wasn’t able to keep up with the class work. I didn’t fit in.
I hoped things would be better in sixth grade, that I would begin to settle into a group. But it was worse. I was relegated to the lowest end of the social order and spent most of my time alone, hoping someone—anyone—would talk to me or invite me to his house after school. Slowly, my self-confidence eroded, and I began to sink into a depression unusual for a kid in sixth grade. My parents had always known me as a happy child, who, despite our migratory habits, was always able to make friends. But now, I was sullen and uncommunicative at home. I was still having trouble in school. There was no other option, it seemed, but to take me to a therapist.
The sessions started simply enough. At the first visit, my parents met with the therapist while I sat outside in the waiting room. Then I was called into the office, and my parents waited outside. Every Thursday after that, my mother or my father dropped me off at the therapist’s office and picked me up an hour later when the session was over.
The therapist was a skinny middle-aged man with a rust-colored beard and glasses. Wood-framed pictures of his wife and children were scattered among the small, neat piles of file folders on his desk. At first, he asked questions about me, who I thought I was and how I generally felt. He asked pointed questions using a gentle tone, frequently hanging on the last word and letting the pitch of his voice rise slowly.
“How are you doing this weeeeek?” he asked.
“Did you do anything with any of the other kiiiiiids?”
“Did you ask anyone to come to your hoooouse, to plaaaay?”
“What did he saaaaaay?”
“How does that make you feeeeeeel?” he asked.
I crumpled my mouth and slightly arched my eyebrows, then shrugged.
He wrote something down on a legal pad of paper that balanced in his lap. When he was finished writing, he rested his elbow on the chair’s arm, put his chin in his hand, and stared at me.
I pretended not to notice his silence and casually looked around the room, at his mahogany desk, then at his diploma in a chestnut-colored frame hanging on the wall. But then I grew tired of the charade and stared right back at him, waiting for him to ask another question.
“Is there anything you want to taaaalk aboooout?” he finally asked.
I shrugged.
My lack of communication wasn’t always meant to be evasive. But, at times, I simply could not speak. I knew if any word escaped my mouth, tears would follow, and then there would be the heavy sobs and the stuttering gasps for breath that came in between.
After a few weeks and little progress, the therapist met with my parents again. He told them I wasn’t very forthcoming about anything, but he seemed to understand the issues in a broad sense, so he made a few suggestions for activities that forced socialization, such as taking children from school and me to a baseball game or an amusement park. He suggested that my father spend a little more time with me too.
At some point afterward, my father conceived the idea of a camping trip. He spent weeks researching it, making lists on yellow-lined legal paper, consulting Boy Scout handbooks, then purchasing supplies and storing them in the basement, most of which ended up in the blue tarpaulin bundles he had prepared ever so carefully.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this trip. My father was somewhat authoritarian but not above having fun either. For all I knew, he could have been planning for us to get up at sunrise, hike two hours to a lake and catch our breakfast. If we didn’t catch anything, maybe we wouldn’t eat. Then again, we could be headed toward a cabin with electricity, a television, a refrigerator full of beer, and no telephone. But the thought that most consumed me was how he might bark at me for youthful indiscretions or for the things I didn’t know to do, but he thought I should have done. Out in the woods or in a cabin, I’d have nowhere to hide.
The day we left for the camping trip, my father came home from work early. We loaded the bundles onto the roof of our car and tied them down with a rough and frayed but sturdy rope. We pulled out of the driveway in the late afternoon and headed north to the wilderness near the Wisconsin-Minnesota border, the exact location unknown to both of us.
We drove five hours or so, well after nightfall, then stopped at a roadside motel for the evening. It seemed like we chatted the whole way up there about any number of topics that men should talk about from time to time, like girls or sports or what’s wrong with the world. I don’t remember us talking about anything unpleasant or difficult. The time passed by quickly enough, with us arriving at a roadside hotel not too far from the campground. We stayed in the hotel for the night, and the next day, we drove two more hours before we arrived at the campground, somewhere in northern Wisconsin, near a place named Three Lakes.
With a rented canoe in tow, we drove down a white gravel road and found a large parking area where cars were stowed while people camped on the other side of the lake. We took the canoe off its trailer and put it partially in the water, creating small ripples in a lake so smooth and serene its surface looked like a mirror. As we stared across the lake searching for our campsite, we saw the towering evergreen trees stretching into the blue sky from the edge of the opposite shore and birds fluttering up from and disappearing into the forest’s dense foliage. On the opposite shore were campsite markers, brown signs with bright yellow letters in small clearings near the water’s edge.
The ranger had given us a map of the campsites and marked in red ink where ours was on the lake. My father consulted the map quickly, then cupped his hands over his eyes to reduce the glare from the water and muttered to himself, “He said it would be about over there …”
“Ah-ha! I think I got it!” he said, pointing to a place across the water. “That should be it!”
For a moment, we considered how we would get all the gear into the canoe. But then the eagerness of beginning the trip took over, and we both stuffed everything we brought into the small vessel and cast off into the water. The moment the canoe floated in the clear water, we were separated from whatever problems held us at home.
The excitement was short lived, however. As we began to paddle, I looked down at the canoe. We had so much weight in the boat; its edge was no more than a few inches above the waterline. A strong tilt to either side surely would have filled the boat with water and sunk us and all our gear in the process. Making matters worse, we mutually decided that we were too manly to wear life vests. “Those,” proudly declared my dad before we climbed into the boat, “are for sissies.”
Because the canoe was weighed down so heavily, steering was next to impossible. And since neither of us could paddle worth a damn, the canoe went in every direction but the one we needed to go. We found ourselves in the middle of the lake, not sure how to continue but knowing we had to keep trying. When I dragged my paddle in the water to slow the canoe from going off course, my father snapped at me.
“What the hell are you doing?” he barked, his Oklahoma accent becoming thicker as his frustration grew. “I’m trying to paddle back here, and you’re trying to stop the goddamn boat!”
“I’m trying to steer, Dad,” I said.
“Dagummit, it’s not helping, so stop doing it! Keep paddling,” he demanded. “Keep paddling!”
“How the hell else are we going to get to the other side?” I shot back at him. “I’m trying to keep the boat straight!”
It was the first time I had ever stood up to him. He wasn’t a large man, but he was a strong man. His wide shoulders, thick hands, and round sinewy forearms were cast from a youth spent in the Oklahoma oil fields, squatting over shallow wells, pulling galvanized steel tubing from the ground, hand over hand. The oil fields shaped his temper too, which meant he had an aggressive response to conflict. When he grew angry, he was an intensely intimidating person.
But in the middle of the lake, I had nowhere to go, and he could do nothing about my sass mouth. He stared back at me, his paddle hanging motionless above the surface of the water. His face was red and stiff, and his gray-blue eyes were fixed on me as if he wanted to bound the length of the boat and ask me to repeat what I said, but the piles of camping equipment, the blue bundles, and the precarious nature of the canoe kept him from doing anything. Reluctantly, he saw my point.
“All right, then,” he said. “Then steer the damn canoe.”

Fucking, Austria
Monday, 15th January 2007 by James Turnbull Today is Martin Luther King Day, a US holiday which celebrates the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr – leader of the American civil rights movement, political activist and at 35 the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner.
He was assassinated in 1968 and his remains are now held at the King Center, located just beside his childhood home. The white rectangle within a circle is Dr. King’s tomb, where there is also an eternal flame.
Probably the greatest speech of all time, Dr. King’s “I have a dream” was made to 200,000 demonstrators outside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Tim says: Monday, 15th January 2007 at 11:34 pm MARTIN LUTHER KING, WOO! Seriously, he’s probably the best thing to come out of America since, like, the steam engine.
I dunno if I would call the “I Have A Dream” speech the best speech ever, though. It’s up there, but King himself has written some better speeches. For example, at Montgomery, Alabama, in 1965:
“I know you are asking today, “How long will it take?”…I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because “truth crushed to earth will rise again.” How long? Not long, because “no lie can live forever.” How long? Not long, because “you shall reap what you sow.” How long? Not long.”
YES, SUH! I also like how he spoke out against the Vietnam War:
“We must stop now. I speak as a child of God and the suffering poor in Vietnam. … I speak for the poor of America who are paying the double price of smashed hopes at home, and dealt death and corruption in Vietnam. I speak as a citizen of the world, for the world as it stands aghast at the path we have taken.”
PS I’m just kidding about the steam engine; calm down, ya Brits.
Cyre says: Monday, 15th January 2007 at 11:39 pm This is REALLY Robert E. Lee Day in Alabama!!!
James says: Monday, 15th January 2007 at 11:44 pm I’ve visited the King Center (I’m a Brit). It’s in a quite scary area of Atlanta, and I had to walk miles from the tube (MARTA), or perhaps I was just young and stupid, but it’s a very impressive site.
Fleudeu says: Tuesday, 16th January 2007 at 12:59 am Uh, JFTR: Tim, the steam engine did not come our of america. randall says: Tuesday, 16th January 2007 at 1:48 am The national civil rights museum in memphis, TN is where King was killed.
It was a hotel when he was killed there. The museum is very impressive documenting everything from slaves dying for equal rights to the greensboro sit-ins to the recent marches on washington d.c. For all that are interested in Dr. King’s life and the civil rights struggle in america, this museum is a must see
Tim says: Thursday, 18th January 2007 at 2:05 am Um, yeah, Fleudeu, that’s supposed to be the joke. Brian says: Friday, 19th January 2007 at 2:03 am Just a little wider angle on that would reveal a fascinating (to me) detail: Ebenezer Baptist Church, the new sanctuary built across the street to replace the crumbling (but still extant) original Ebenezer next to the burial site, was sited so that you can look out its front window directly to the burial site.
Here’s the link in Google Maps / Google Earth
Karen Peralta says: Monday, 17th December 2007 at 10:04 pm Dear Anybody,
Hey, does anyone know what’s up with the King Center website? Their main website is awfully flawed, and has been so for quite some time. Their latest annual progress report as published on the website is for 2001-2002, and a great many of their links are dead. I tried writing their information and webmaster emails, and both were returned. I then tried writing their donations email, and it was not returned, but it was never answered.
I know Coretta Scott King, the King Center founder, died in 2006, and at least two of their children were supposed to be on the Board of Directors of the King Center, so somebody real should be taking better care of their website. But they aren’t.
They have more than a dozen dead links and several dead email addresse also. This is not good. Help them, somebody, please. I tried to, and couldn’t.

Retired Summit County Sheriff Drew Alexander used campaign cash last year to install a security system at his house — an expense that got former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann in trouble with state authorities several years ago.But Alexander and his former legal counsel said Thursday that the two cases aren’t similar and that Dann ran afoul because of the cost and amount of work, and not the security system itself.Securi-Com of Canton was paid $2,628 to install the system last November when Alexander was still in office, according to a campaign finance report filed with the county Board of Elections.The former sheriff said his life had been threatened.“If your life has been threatened, an officeholder is allowed to put a security system in and I have documents and letters from certain people who want to kill me,” said Alexander, a Republican who served as sheriff for three terms. “Well, one didn’t want to kill me. He just wanted to shoot me in the back and see me crippled.”Dann, a Democrat, offered a similar reason for spending about $40,000 in campaign funds on a closed-circuit, video-monitored security system and new windows, doors and other improvements at his home after he took office in 2007.But the Ohio Elections Commission ruled that Dann violated elections law, and fined him and his campaign $1,000 each. His former campaign treasurer was fined $250.Dann, who resigned in 2008 amid an ethics scandal, appealed the decision in court but lost.Commission Executive Director Philip Richter said he couldn’t say whether the expense by Alexander is permitted or not, and noted that the circumstances might differ from those involving Dann.There were questions about whether some of the improvements, including the windows, at Dann’s house were needed for security, he said.“It’s not always easy to say yes this is or this is not,” he said. “If the matter was brought to the commission, we’d have to look at the facts and make a decision.”In Dann’s case, the Ohio secretary of state filed a complaint with the commission.Randy Briggs, now legal counsel for current Sheriff Steve Barry, said he researched the issue and the Dann case before concluding the expense was allowed. He also said he sought the commission’s opinion and the group didn’t say no.The problem with Dann was the expense and extent of the work, he said.Entering his last year in office, Alexander had more than $22,830 in campaign funds. Because he was retiring, he had to spend the money.In addition to the security system expense, he donated some to charity, gave some to other political candidates and bought gifts for sheriff’s employees.His year-end 2012 campaign finance report lists a balance of $1.53.The biggest beneficiary was Green Mayor Dick Norton, who received $3,500. County Common Pleas Judge Amy Corrigall Jones received $3,450.Some other major expenses included $1,000 for Gov. John Kasich and Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor; $850 for Christmas cards; $500 for the Greater Akron Baseball Hall of Fame; $500 for GASP; and $875 for the Stephen A. Comunale Jr. Family Cancer Foundation.Alexander said it wasn’t difficult to figure out what to do with the money.“When people heard that I had to [spend it], there were a lot of suggestions,” he said.Rick Armon can be reached at 330-996-3569 or [email protected]. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/310 | {"url": "http://green.ohio.com/former-summit-sheriff-used-campaign-funds-to-put-security-system-in-home-1.377369", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "green.ohio.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:27:49Z", "digest": "sha1:IIXMH4C3IDPHHWB24Z3P5EV425746WHZ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3950, 3950.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3950, 4975.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3950, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3950, 87.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3950, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3950, 248.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3950, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3950, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3950, 1.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3950, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3950, 0.35315534]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3950, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3950, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3950, 0.02008788]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3950, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3950, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3950, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3950, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3950, 0.02636535]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3950, 0.01004394]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3950, 0.01381042]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3950, 0.00970874]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3950, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3950, 0.21237864]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3950, 0.5265625]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3950, 4.978125]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3950, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3950, 5.35173388]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3950, 640.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 73, 0.0], [73, 87, 0.0], [87, 191, 0.0], [191, 278, 0.0], [278, 301, 0.0], [301, 328, 0.0], [328, 632, 1.0], [632, 3950, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 73, 0.0], [73, 87, 0.0], [87, 191, 0.0], [191, 278, 0.0], [278, 301, 0.0], [301, 328, 0.0], [328, 632, 0.0], [632, 3950, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 73, 12.0], [73, 87, 3.0], [87, 191, 16.0], [191, 278, 13.0], [278, 301, 3.0], [301, 328, 5.0], [328, 632, 46.0], [632, 3950, 542.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 73, 0.0], [73, 87, 0.0], [87, 191, 0.20879121], [191, 278, 0.04819277], [278, 301, 0.0], [301, 328, 0.41666667], [328, 632, 0.01346801], [632, 3950, 0.02174588]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 73, 0.0], [73, 87, 0.0], [87, 191, 0.0], [191, 278, 0.0], [278, 301, 0.0], [301, 328, 0.0], [328, 632, 0.0], [632, 3950, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 73, 0.02739726], [73, 87, 0.21428571], [87, 191, 0.09615385], [191, 278, 0.10344828], [278, 301, 0.13043478], [301, 328, 0.22222222], [328, 632, 0.06907895], [632, 3950, 0.03254973]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3950, 0.22149527]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3950, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3950, 0.95720106]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3950, -193.59966407]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3950, 83.92292961]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3950, -107.03853331]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3950, 42.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |
Doc Rivers to his new reserves: We don’t take practice off so you better be ready

WALTHAM — You could sense the urgency in his voice.
Doc Rivers is a coach who exudes confidence and a positive attitude. But he also calls it the way he sees it and can push the emotional buttons of his players when need be.
After practice Saturday, he sent a very clear message to his second unit.
“They’ve got to get out of their [old] habits, wherever they’ve been,” Rivers said, referring clearly to Jeff Green, Sasha Pavlovic, Troy Murphy and Nenad Krstic. “We don’t [practice] long but we play with intensity, play hard. You just see some of their habits and some of their habits have to change. It will. It’s just going to take time.”
Rivers made it clear before practice began with several hundred fans listening in that their “help” defense was very sub-par Friday night in a 107-103 win over the Warriors.
“Learning to cover for each other is number one,” Rivers said. “But you can’t do that unless you have unbelievable focus and intensity and that’s what we’re trying to show them. I thought they were trying to do the right stuff on their help [defense] but they were always late because they’re not ready.”
Then Rivers got really serious.
“A lot of pros practice and they think practice is leisure and we don’t believe that here. It’s quick here but it’s hard. When you have your starters, who are playing 35 minutes [a game] going hard and you have your second unit going in cruise control, that’s not going to settle well with me.”
Message delivered.
During the open practice Saturday afternoon at their practice facility, which gave a peek to fans and special guests into some of their basic defensive principles, defensive coach Lawrence Frank called out positions and assignments and helped Rivers get the new players accustomed to the Celtics’ way of defending.
“We talked about that before practice, just too much. When we switch, that means we’ve decided to take the easy way out, defensively. So that’s what we did [Friday] night,” said Rivers. “It’s funny, in the first half, we didn’t have a lot of switching. In the second half, I think we had 16 times where we switched. If we have two, that’s a lot for us so you could just see we decided to go through it. We won the game but that’s a dangerous way of playing.”
Another player will be added to the “new” mix of reserves when the team welcomes guard Carlos Arroyo this weekend. The Boston Herald reported Saturday the Celtics agreed to terms on a pro-rated veteran minimum salary for the rest of the regular season; he will be eligible for the playoffs. The move was necessitated when guards Delonte West and Von Wafer went down with injuries in the last week
And while he was busy delivering messages loud and clear to the team, Rivers made it clear that he’s not about to burn out his starters just to win games and seal the No. 1 seed. So, reserves you BETTER be ready.
“We want [the top seed] but I’m not going to use our minutes to get it,” Rivers said. “I can tell you that. [Friday] night was because of the injuries in the middle of the game. Once we get healthy, our guys are playing lower minutes. We should be good enough to win the games, and that’s what we want to do.”

Amar’e Stoudemire’s back picks a really bad time to act up
By Mike Petraglia | No Comments
Knicks superstar power forward Amar’e Stoudemire couldn’t have picked a worse time to experience back spasms for the first time in his career. After tweaking his back during a dunk in warmups, Stoudemire said he felt the twinge get worse during the first half.
He was limited to 2-of-9 shooting in 18 minutes and finished with just four points as the Knicks couldn’t quite overcome his absence in a 96-93 loss to the Celtics Tuesday night at TD Garden. “I believe it happened in warmups,” said Stoudemire, who had to stand for his postgame press conference because his back was still so tight. “I touched the top of the glass with my left hand and dunked it with my right. I think that’s when I felt it really get tight on me.
“I could hardly move. I was trying to play through it. I went to the trainers and staff, was getting worked on there before the game, right before the national anthem I got up and stood up for the anthem and tried to get a little more work done. I just couldn’t get quite totally loose. I tried to play on it and pushed through it, but for the most part, I played the first quarter and second quarter, after that it was a sharp pain and I couldn’t continue.”
Stoudemire said this was the first time in his career he experienced the injury and is hoping treatment in the next two days will have him ready when the series resumes Friday at Madison Square Garden.
“I never had back spasms before, so I guess it’s just a normal back spasm,” he said. “Take time for it to relax, but I should be ready for Game 3. I’m not sure, we’ll see how it goes tomorrow, and the next day, and then I’m pretty, sure hopefully I’ll be ready to go by Friday.” Stoudemire watched from the TV in the locker room as Carmelo Anthony almost single-handedly led the Knicks to victory. “Yeah I was getting treatment for the full second half,” Stoudemire said. “I watched the game on the TV screen, but meanwhile I was getting treatment the whole time. I was trying to loosen up the back, trying to get ready to come out there in the second half or third quarter. I just couldn’t get the back to release hardly any. It took awhile for me to get comfortable, still in somewhat pain now. But hopefully, in the next few days, it will release.
“They played great,” Stoudemire said of Anthony. “Carmelo shot the ball extremely well tonight, something that we needed. And the rest of the guys stepped up to play, they played great tonight. That’s something that we need, hopefully some confidence from tonight’s game will grow for Friday.”

The game-winner was nothing new for Ray Allen and the Celtics
04.18.11 at 12:24 am ET
Ray Allen had no hesitation in letting the game-winning 3-pointer fly from the left wing with 11.6 seconds remaining, needing just a 2-pointer for the lead. Allen broke free from a screen and flashed open in time for Paul Pierce to find him and feed him the ball for the shot that gave the Celtics an 87-85 win in Game 1 at an electrified TD Garden Sunday night. “Due to the experience that we have, having played together, we’ve ran that play many times in different situations,” Allen explained. “Sometimes the shot goes in, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes Paul has the ball in his hands and he shoots it and he scores it. There are so many different options off of that play that when we went to it, we knew exactly what to expect.
“We don’t pre-determine, me setting the screen getting Paul open, sometimes he gets the layup all the way to the hoop. Sometimes my guy switches and I end up being open, Baby [Glen Davis] or Kevin [Kevin Garnett] clean up a guy and I’m open at the 3-point line, or [Pierce] rolls and he is wide open. It’s a play that has so many options and tonight, I was just the option. If I could think of every shot that I hit to win a game in a Celtic uniform Paul has probably been the guy that has passed it to me.”
Allen finished with a team-high 24 points after not taking a shot in seven minutes of playing time in the first quarter. Read More: 2011 NBA Playoffs, Boston Celtics, NBA, New York Knicks
Doc Rivers says the excuses are ‘all gone’
By Mike Petraglia | 1 Comment
WALTHAM — Celtics coach Doc Rivers is hoping Shaquille O’Neal returns to practice on Saturday after watching from the sidelines on Friday as the team began full-scale practice preparations for the Knicks Sunday night in Game 1 of their first-round series.
“He was doing good. He sat pretty well today, looked good over there,” Rivers said tongue-in-cheek. “It was terrific. He watched the entire practice.”
Rivers said the team is managing O’Neal’s calf injury as carefully as possible before letting him get back on the court.
“We knew that, we planned that,” Rivers added. “[Saturday] we’ll see what he can do. He did some of the walk-through stuff but I just don’t want to take a chance. We’ll find out [Saturday]. “He’ll practice hopefully and then we’ll make a decision after that.”
Delonte West (ankle) and Jermaine O’Neal both returned to full-scale practice on Friday and Rivers said both are ready to go for Sunday.
“Delonte’s fine, everybody else is fine,” Rivers said. “We’re 100 percent except for Shaq. Everybody else is pretty good and that’s good.” “We watched film for about an hour and a half [Thursday]. Then we walked through for another half-hour, 45 minutes but we didn’t do anything live.”
Friday was critical to Rivers because of the work accomplished in practice. Saturday figures to be even more significant.
“Today was a hard, long live practice. Everybody’s rested, every team is rested. There’s no excuses. It’s all gone. “It was a good that they could get their mind set on one opponent and walk through the game plan. Today we got to do a lot of live stuff. [Saturday] we’re going to do even more live stuff.
“With this new group, we’ve never [practiced that hard]. The worst part of the trade was the timing of the trade and the schedule, it just didn’t mesh for us. We never had days off, we never had practice time and then we had the injuries. At least now, I’m cutting out literally half of our offensive playbook. I’ve made a choice to run a couple of things well than a lot of things average and poor and so that’s the route we’re going.”

Doc Rivers: Celtics are ready to ‘get back and finish the job’
There’s no more time for sitting starters and there’s no more optional practices. Doc Rivers knows full well that while it may not be time to slam the foot on the accelerator, now is the time to start stepping down with more force.
On Thursday, following a 112-102 glorified exhibition win over the Knicks, Rivers began prep for the first-round playoffs series with the Knicks with film work. The hard practices are expected on Friday and Saturday – with or without Shaquille O’Neal. “I feel good that our team will be ready; I feel really good about that,” Rivers said. “This has been far more difficult in that regard because of the trades, the injuries, the late-season seven-out-of-eleven games. It’s just been – that’s been extremely difficult. We lost our rhythm; had no practice to get it back, and then we had injuries.
“So, it’s great playing on Sunday, let me just put it that way. We’ll be ready.”
As for Delonte West (ankle) and Shaq (calf), Rivers said this weekend of practice will tell a lot. “Well Delonte will be [ready] for sure, from everything I hear,” Rivers said. “Shaquille, I’d like to see him yesterday. We’ll just wait and see.”
Obviously, this has been the most injury-riddled season for Celtics big men – or bigs as Doc loves to call them. And it’s started from camp and carried right through. Say this much, the C’s and Rivers and his coaching staff have had plenty of time this season to get ready to win without them.
There was the rehabbing Kendrick Perkins in camp and early in the season. There was the conditioning of Jermaine O’Neal. There was the knee/hip/Achilles/calf of Shaq. And the brief injury scares to Glen Davis and Perkins’ replacement Nenad Krstic. Read the rest of this entry »

Glen Davis: ‘We’re going to fight’ with the Knicks
at 12:13 am ET
Glen Davis was all smiles after scoring 17 points in 27 minutes of Wednesday night’s season-ending laugher over the team they’ll be seeing in four days. But when these two teams meet against Sunday night, Davis is fully aware of how much different the atmosphere will be. “A brawl,” Davis said. “We’re going to fight, especially here [in Boston]. We’re going to go there. Knicks-Boston rivalry, it’s going to be crazy. This is the series to watch. They’re going to be watching our series.”
Davis also said that immediately following the 112-102 win Wednesday that gave the Celtics a 56-26 mark for the season, he sat at his locker and thought back to Game 7 of the NBA finals last June when the Celtics came within six minutes of an 18th NBA title before running out of gas against the Lakers. “I’m excited man,” Davis said. “The regular season is over with. Now it’s time for the postseason. This is what it’s all about. I was just sitting here thinking, ‘Wow, Game 7 I felt like was just yesterday.’ Now, we’re back [in playoffs again. I’m starting my campaign for champagne, trying to get No. 18.”
In playing 40 minutes Monday and 27 minutes Wednesday, Davis said he is in playoff shape and ready to come off the bench and contribute during the playoff run.
“I feel good. I just feel good going into the playoffs,” Davis said. “Everybody is getting healthy. We’re going to have some hard practices and do what we have to do to get ready because I know New York is going to be ready.”
The Celtics playoff run of the last four seasons has coincided with the career of Glen Davis. And every year, Davis has raised his game significantly during the postseason. Davis and Rivers expect the same again this year. More to the point, they NEED Davis to raise his game this year. “I’m not shooting the ball as much even though I am kind of open,” Davis said. “I’m making the second pass, getting some movement into the games. I’m trying to hold my picks, things like that.
“Just the fact that you are making your own footprint in history. People don’t see that, I see that a lot. Playing for a team like the Celtics and going out there to do something great. I’ll be sitting out, fat on a farm, turn on NBA TV and look at myself 30 years ago and be like ‘Golly, that was exiting.’ I think that’s what it’s about. Here in Boston, you try and win more than one championship. You win one and it’s OK, you win two you’ll be a hero here. There’s something about the postseason that I love man. You’ve got to bring you’re a game. It’s time to bring you’re ‘A’ game.”

Staying Alive: Although winless in their last six games (0-2-1-3), the Griffins maintain a firm grasp on fourth place in the North Division and still hold a two-point lead over crossover candidate Peoria in the race for the Western Conference’s last playoff spot (but the Rivermen possess both a game in hand and the first tie-breaker). Despite their victory drought, the Griffins have still earned points in 18 of their last 24 contests (13-6-2-3).
Homecoming: After playing four straight games on the road, the Griffins return to Van Andel Arena this week to host rivals Milwaukee on Wednesday and Chicago on Saturday. It’s a Winning Wednesday against the Admirals, as all fans who attended the Griffins’ 4-1 win over Iowa on March 14 can redeem those ticket stubs for a free ticket to this game. In addition, if the Griffins beat Milwaukee, everyone in attendance will win a free ticket to the April 6 game vs. Toronto. Fans can visit griffinshockey.com to print a coupon redeemable for up to four lower bowl tickets for only $5 each…On Saturday, Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jiri Fischer will sign autographs prior to the game, thanks to Jeep Chrysler. Over 25 Star Wars characters will be on the concourse, taking pictures with fans for a $5 donation to the Griffins Youth Foundation, and fans can visit griffinshockey.com to print a coupon redeemable for $10 lower bowl tickets. Friendly Confines: Grand Rapids, which owned a 7-9-2-2 record on home ice in late December, has won nine of 12 (9-2-0-1) and 12 of the last 16 games (12-3-0-1) at Van Andel Arena. Fans have noticed, as six of the last 12 home games have been witnessed by crowds in excess of 10,000, including four sellouts. If crowd projections for the Griffins’ final four home games are realized, the franchise will see its first increase in attendance since the 2002-03 season.
On the Tube: The Griffins’ March to the Playoffs continues this week on Comcast Local, which will televise both Friday’s game at Hamilton and Saturday’s clash with Chicago to subscribers throughout Michigan and Northern Indiana.
A First Time for Everything: From March 16-24, the Griffins suffered five consecutive one-goal losses (0-1-1-3) for the first time in franchise history. The first four of those defeats were by a 3-2 score, marking the first time in team history they had the same outcome on the scoreboard in more than two consecutive games.
Fight the Power: Toronto was awarded 15 power plays in its 5-3 win over Grand Rapids on Sunday, setting a single-game record for a Griffins opponent. The old mark of 13 was reached four times, most recently by Manitoba on Nov. 4, 2006.
Short Stories: Matt Ellis’ shorthanded goal on Friday in Manitoba was his fifth of the season, setting a single-season Griffins record, tying for the AHL lead and extending his all-time franchise record to 12. Ben Simon notched his third shortie in just 12 games as a Griffin on Sunday in Toronto, establishing a new single-season franchise record with the team’s league-leading 22nd shorthanded goal of the season. (The old mark of 21 was set in 1998-99.) The Griffins have scored 13 shorthanded goals in the last 22 games alone, a number that matches or surpasses the season-long haul of 18 other teams. Strangely, over the last 20 games, the Griffins have scored more shorthanded goals (12) than power play goals (9).
Power Outage: The Griffins’ league-worst power play (12.5%) has gone 0-for-28 with the advantage during its six-game losing streak, extending its current drought to 0-for-31. Not helping matters, Grand Rapids’ opponents have converted nine of their 50 chances (18.0%) over the last six games and have enjoyed more opportunities than the Griffins in each of the last eight games. Over that span, foes are 11-for-67 (16.4%) while Grand Rapids has scored twice in a mere 37 attempts (5.4%).
Working Overtime: The Griffins have lost their last five games decided after regulation time (0-0-2-3), just the third time in franchise history they’ve lost five straight overtime or shootout decisions. The last time was Dec. 11-23, 1998, when they suffered five shootout losses in a span of just six games…Grand Rapids had won five straight shootout decisions before falling to the Moose three times in a nine-day span (March 16-24), dropping to 6-5 this season and 55-56 all time in the skills display…Last Sunday’s 3-2 overtime loss at Milwaukee dropped Grand Rapids’ record in the extra session this season to 0-6. In 2005-06, the Griffins could do almost no wrong in O.T., winning their last five regular season decisions to finish 6-1, before going 3-0 in overtime during the playoffs…Jimmy Howard’s three straight losses have all come past regulation time (one OTL, two SOLs).
Oh Captain, My Captain: Matt Ellis scored a pair of goals on Friday in Manitoba to extend his scoring streak to a career-high seven games (8-3—11). While that run was snapped on Saturday, the captain has still recorded points in 10 of his last 13 AHL contests (9-6—15).
Good to Have You Back: After welcoming back forwards Darryl Bootland (Wed.) and Matt Ellis (Thu.) on assignment from the Detroit Red Wings earlier last week, the Griffins added defenseman Danny Syvret to their roster on Saturday night after he was assigned by Edmonton. Syvret became the 86th Griffins alumnus to play in the NHL on Feb. 27, a night made even more memorable by the Oilers’ retirement of Mark Messier’s jersey. He played 12 games with Edmonton, averaging a whopping 20:47 in ice time and leading the Oilers in time on ice twice, including a season-high 27:49 versus St. Louis on March 17.
Good Riddance: Grand Rapids closed out its season series with the Moose on Saturday with a seventh straight one-goal decision in the series, four of which were via shootouts. Unfortunately, the Griffins came out on the short end in each of the last six games, including all four clashes at the MTS Centre. Grand Rapids’ power play failed to score in each of the six straight losses to Manitoba (0-for-27) and ended the series on a 0-for-33 skid, finishing 2-for-50 (4.0%) overall. The Moose, meanwhile, converted 8-of-39 chances (20.5%) in their six straight wins and went 12-of-59 (20.3%) in the season series, as their power play accounted for 12 of their 18 goals scored in regulation time. Record Within Reach: If the Griffins win seven of their final 10 games they’ll record their eighth-consecutive 40-win season overall and their sixth straight as members of the AHL, tying the league record set by the Cleveland Barons from 1947-53.

28 Mar 2012 5:26 PM Welcome to my new blog By David Roberts
Photo by Taro Yamamoto.
Hey, welcome to my blog!
You may be asking, “New blog? What the hell have you been doing for the last eight years?”
Let me explain. (This is very inside-Grist-baseball, so if you don’t care about that stuff, read my scintillating recent post on EPA’s new carbon rule.)
Way back in … what was it? … 2004 or so, I started Grist’s first blog, which was called Gristmill. (Ah, the old days.) Back then it was super-bloggy. I posted three, four, five times a day, short posts, linking to this, making off-hand comments about that, snarking, the usual blog stuff.
When we redesigned the site several years ago, Gristmill was basically shut down and the distinction between what was “on the blog” and what was “on the site” disappeared. We decided readers didn’t care about that distinction. It was all just on the site.
One consequence of this shift was that the home page became the main, not to say only, route into the site for most people. If you didn’t put your piece on the home page, nobody would see it. And so it came to be that pretty much everything I published ended up on the home page.
But there were (and are) limited slots on the home page. If I published three or four posts a day like in the old days, I’d end up dominating the home page, pushing other stuff off, which is not optimal.
So, partly as a consequence, I started publishing longer, more crafted, more researched posts — essays, I guess you’d call them — at the rate of one a day or so. Other factors fueled this shift too. Part of it was a desire to dig deeper into certain subjects. Part of it was Twitter, which serves as a repository for all the little bits and pieces I used to put on the blog.
Anyway, for all these reasons, I’ve been publishing longer posts, less frequently — very un-bloggish.
Lately, though, I’ve been hankering to get back in the old bloggy spirit. So we’ve created a blog for me, which looks like a blog and behaves like a blog. It has its own RSS feed. I will be posting on it relatively frequently, and not everything that appears here will appear on the home page.
So, bookmark it! Subscribe. We’re going to party like it’s 2004.

Former Knicks, Heat Forward Pat Cummings Dead At 55
June 27, 2012 · 3:10PM
HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS – Pat Cummings, an original member of the Miami Heat and a former Knicks forward was found dead in a friend’s Greenwich Village apartment Tuesday afternoon, according to multiple reports. He was 55.
A standout at the University of Cincinnati, Cummings was a third-round Draft pick of the Milwaukee Bucks in 1978. He was later traded to the Mavericks and signed as a free agent with the Knicks in 1984.
A member of the inaugural Miami Heat in 1988-89, Cummings played 683 games over 12 seasons in his NBA career. He finished with averages of 9.6 points and 5.6 rebounds, with his most prominent stint coming as a member of the Knicks’ frontcourt rotation with Patrick Ewing and Bill Cartwright from 1984-1988.
Cummings also played for the Jazz.
The details surrounding his death were still being investigated, per the New York Post:
The medical examiner will perform an autopsy today to determine the cause of death, though as of last night there were no signs of criminality.
Cummings’ girlfriend found him unconscious on a pullout couch. He later was pronounced dead at the scene.

Nuggets Eyeing Grizzlies, No. 4 Spot?
March 5, 2013 · 10:53AM
HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS – Give the Denver Nuggets credit for being realists.
They’re not going to spend the next two months chasing the pipe dream of chewing up the San Antonio Spurs’ eight-game cushion and winning the Western Conference’s top spot in the playoff chase.
Instead of trying to do the impossible, the Nuggets have set their sights on the very realistic goal of passing up the Memphis Grizzlies for the fourth spot behind the Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers. Nuggets coach George Karl is the man responsible for this pragmatic approach. His team has won five straight games and is in a great groove right now.
But Karl knows that this is not the time for great (and generally supersized expectations). As Karl explained to Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post, focusing on the team directly in front of them is the best plan of action for his team:
The Nuggets’ goal is singular and sincere. With 22 games left, they want to surpass Memphis in the standings and grab the fourth playoff seed in the Western Conference.
It’s likely that Nuggets vs. Grizzlies will be the No. 4 vs. No. 5 matchup in the West’s first round of the postseason, but home-court advantage is up for grabs.
After their 108-82 victory Sunday at Orlando, the fourth-place Grizzlies are 39-19.
“I think it’s going to take at least 51 to 52 wins to get to No. 4,” said coach George Karl, whose Nuggets are 38-22 heading into Monday’s home game against Atlanta. “It might take more.
“But I’d probably take 52 and take our chances. And I’d like the tiebreaker with Memphis. I’d take 52 and the tiebreaker.”
The Nuggets are aware of the Ides of March. Memphis comes to Denver for a March 15 matchup, the final regular-season meeting of the teams. Denver leads the season series 2-1.
The Nuggets, the NBA’s third-youngest team, have only nine more road games. They have 13 left at home, where they are 25-3.
Twelve of their 22 remaining games are against current playoff teams, the toughest stretch coming when Denver hosts the Carmelo Anthony-led New York Knicks on March 13 and the Grizzlies two days later, followed by road games against the Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder on March 18 and 19.
“This team is not afraid to play the best teams. In fact, they like to play the best teams,” said Karl, whose Nuggets knocked off the Thunder 105-103 in a Friday thriller at the Pepsi Center. “I think the team is understanding that the playoffs aren’t that far away.
“Right now we’re in a good place to make another step. We need to tighten our defense up and not have mental lapses and continue to grow.”
This is a refreshing dose of sensibility at a time of year when players, coaches, teams and their fans are big on making bold proclamations about what they have in store for the final weeks of the regular season and into the playoffs.
The Nuggets have figured out exactly who and what they are and play like it on a nightly basis. If they catch you at their home, the Pepsi Center, they’ll run you out of the building.
So it should surprise no one that Karl has his team locked in on earning home-court advantage for a first-round series.
Their prospects in that first-round series between the No. 4 and No. 5 seed changes dramatically if they are have (or don’t have) possession of home court.

drjones23 says: March 6, 2013 at 12:42 pm Sigh. I’m a HUGE Denver fan (Colorado native), and love watching them play ball. I think they can take the number 4 spot; IF they do, they MIGHT be able to edge the Grizzlies out in the first round, but will probably get creamed in the second round. However, while they have guys who are capable of taking over games, they don’t have anyone who can do it 90% of the time. They have maybe 3 guys who can do it (Lawson, Igoudala, and Gallinari); the three of them doing it 10% of the time still means they have someone who can do it 30% of the time… not enough to get past a playoff team in a best of 7 series. The only reason I think they can beat Memphis is because Memphis has the same problem, so home court will decide that series. But it will be GREAT experience for next year; if Iggy opts out and gets a longer contract from Masai, then the Nuggets will have the time to grow organically (not unlike the Thunder have) and be lean and mean over the next several years.
And, if they could only get JaVale to mature a little…
Grizz Fan says: March 6, 2013 at 10:37 am The Nuggets want beat the grizzlies if they see them in the playoffs. But they are a good team. They can shoot for that 4th spot but the grizzlies trying to take the 3 spot watch out clippers.

Artboi says: March 5, 2013 at 7:29 pm Be careful for what you wish for, because Denver is getting ahead of themselves. Sure you own a 2-1 series lead on Memphis, but the biggest difference between then and NOW is Grizzlies arent relying on Rudy anymore and getting burned on his end because of his inability to guard. Nuggets wanna run up and down, not against Memphis you wont LOL. Talk is cheap Denver.
NUGGS says: March 5, 2013 at 8:49 pm We won’t have to speculate for long. OKC also thought that they could not only keep up with the nuggets, but would be able to shut them down. I believe OKC held their three prior opponents to around 70-80 points, and then played the Nuggets last week and gave up over 100… while defense is important, I think Denver won’t have a problem outscoring the Grizzlies.
nuggerts says: March 6, 2013 at 4:51 am now this guy knows where it’s at
googergieger says: March 5, 2013 at 7:05 pm Meh, come playoff time, refs are going to make sure OKC wins again. Heck majority of their wins against good teams have been with the refs. Even their two losses via Denver had the refs helping them out something fierce so they wouldn’t get blown out.
But yeah Denver is always going to have about double the paint points of any team they face. In the playoffs? I bet you they hardly ever have the free throw attempts that add up to their paint points.
Nuggets FAN!!!!!!!!!!!! :) says: March 5, 2013 at 7:00 pm The Nuggets r doing realy good with Lawson,Faried & Igoudala I think tht they will have a very good opertuniey to make it into the playoffs :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
adam says: March 5, 2013 at 6:42 pm No way. Its san antonio, okc, clippers…
Amir says: March 5, 2013 at 6:36 pm no way that the nuggets can beat a team like the grizzlies!!!
i actually like denver and they are fun to watch, but I dont understand why would anyone wanna meet the grizzlies in the first round…honestly id take my chances with clippers or san antonio instead!
3 teams that nobody wants to play in the western conference are grizzlies, okc and lakers (for the sake of argument that they actually do make the playoffs this year lol)
Nuggets FAN!!!!!!!!!!!! :) says: March 5, 2013 at 7:01 pm R u out of your mind they will beat the Grizzles
Gillsy says: March 5, 2013 at 6:35 pm The two most dangerous things about the Nuggets is their depth and their coach. George Karl has been around a long time.
Sonics 4 Life says: March 5, 2013 at 6:31 pm Nuggets play entertaining ball. It would be nice to see them advance through the WC playoffs and knock off a couple contenders.
adam says: March 5, 2013 at 6:24 pm Check out how teams bully Ty Lawson… They do almost everything but throw a punch. He never gets the calls that say a Russell cry baby Westbrook or even a Kevin Durant does. They are breathe calls compared to the physicality the nuggets receive on a nightly basis.. Tell me why it is that the clippers are doing so well.. (they get alot of calls that most people do not).. Chris Paul is good but only made an al-star because the NBA babies him!
adam says: March 5, 2013 at 6:20 pm Well lets just say that without the NBA’s help Ie..(commissioner) the nuggets need that to make the final push. The nuggets are a mid-market team and do not have the following that will net the NBA the profits it expects from the playoffs and mainly the Championship. This is why they say that you need a star to make it. Check out the footage and you will see that the refs (NBA) will never let a mid-market team make it far.. There are a few outliers but overall that is why the nuggets will never make it all the way!
QuestionMark says: March 5, 2013 at 4:20 pm The Nuggets are a pretty good team, they just don’t have a player that can consistently knock down clutch shots, which is needed in the Playoffs, but they average the most points in the paint, which will be helpful come Playoff time, and they play good defense. However I don’t think they have enough to beat the Spurs or OKC in a 7 game series.
Roi says: March 5, 2013 at 4:20 pm I am not a prophet, so I cannot tell what will happend in the postseason, but I do know two things. first, the Nuggets are FUN to watch. they play exciting basketball. I enjoy them a lot.
second, players in this this team are really unselfish. it adds to my pleasure in watching them, but it also makes the team more solid and less prone to disruptions that are due to injuries. I think it makes them a strong contender.
I am sure they have a lot of room to grow
dattebayo says: March 5, 2013 at 4:15 pm At the beginning of thee season, I had Denver picked as the 3rd seed and the Lakers as the 6th seed, claiming the Nuggets would beat the Lakers in 6 this time. Laker fans laughed at me, but they are not laughing anymore :D
W/E says: March 5, 2013 at 3:42 pm The nuggets are DANGEROUS, this team will make a big noise in the playoffs they got a balanced team and good coach, i dont think anyone wants his team to face the Nuggets come playoff time.
Nash fan says: March 5, 2013 at 3:17 pm Nuggets can WIN IT ALL!
NYLakers says: March 5, 2013 at 2:32 pm Absolutely no chance at the championship. Does it matter out in the first round or the second round?
Game Time says: March 5, 2013 at 7:28 pm It doesn’t, so Lakers might as well not chase the 8th seed.
ykelentonador says: March 5, 2013 at 7:54 pm lakers are a bigger threat
Artxuleta Yo says: March 5, 2013 at 2:26 pm Maybe they’ll make past the first round this time. https://vimeo.com/7761485
Igoudala says: March 5, 2013 at 2:04 pm Nuggets will not make it to the second round of the playoffsssssssss

Hot Leg – Red Light Fever (Release Year – 2009)
February 24, 2009 by Brian Basher
Justin Hawkins will forever be stuck between a rock and a hard place. Because of his vocal style everything he does will always be compared to his work in the Darkness there is just no way around it. His new band Hot Leg has just released their debut album “Red Light Fever” and yes it does sound like the Darkness but it sounds like a new and improved version. “Red Light Fever” by far passes both albums released by his previous band. Every song here (ten in all) is capable of being released as a single from the outrageous opener “Chicken” to “Cocktails” and even the albums closer a piano rocker called “Kissin’ The Wind”. Joining Hawkins in Hot Leg are Pete Rinaldi – Lead Guitar, Samuel SJ Stokes – Bass, and Darby Todd – Drums.
For a band that has only been together for a year or so these guys sound incredibly tight and in sync with one another from beginning to end. Hawkins trademark high pitched vocals are all over this record where it seems he might have been held back in the past not true here and Renaldi pulls off some exceptional solos throughout but especially on “Gay In The 80′s”, “Prima Donna” and “You Can’t Hurt Me Anymore”. On “Ashamed” Hawkins duets with Beverli Brown and pull off what may end up being the best song on the album. When “Trojan Guitar” first starts out you think it may be a reworking of Billy Squier’s “the Stroke” along with “Chicken” these may be to the two most outrageous songs on the album but they still kick ass and Renaldi pulls of another exceptional solo.
The two songs I haven’t mentioned yet could very easily find themselves at the top of the charts “I’ve Met Jesus” and “Whichever Way You Wanna Give It” and just in case I didn’t mention it before there are no ballads on “Red Light Fever”. Whatever health problems Hawkins had in the past seem to be behind him and it definitely shows on this record. He and the boys come out with guns blazing and do not slow down one bit and it sounds like they are having a blast the entire time.
If you are looking for “serious” rock you may want to wait for the new U2 album to come out, but if you are looking for pure unadulterated foot stomping, air guitaring, sing along fun rock n roll then Hot Leg’s “Red Light Fever” will be right up your alley and definitely worth the trip.

· Reply Not a bad review, but not a great one. Justin Hawkins actually recorded ALL the instruments on the album and mixed it all (check the back of the album sleeve). This album shows what he can do after more then 1 year out of the limelight and knuckling down to improve his already kick ass guitar playing.
Man rock forever!

Mysterious family and place names
Posted on 28-March-2009 by Steve When you start doing family history, sooner or later you come across mysterious names that crop up among family members, and you wonder where they came from and what their significance is.
Barlow-Jones
I was reminded of this when someone asked on the South African genealogy mailing list about the name Barlow-Jones.
I’m researching a family JONES who lived in Ladysmith, Natal.
They lived in a very big, beautiful house named Barlow House/Lodge.
Can anyone help me with history of this house/lodge. ‘Barlow’ played an important part in the family as 4 of their 13 children had Barlow as a second name.
Well we have a Barlow-Jones in our family tree, a Kerry Barlow-Jones who married a third cousin once removed named Beattie, who is related on the Crighton side. The person who asked about Barlow also had a Kerry Barlow-Jones, born in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) but on a different date. No known connection between them, but one can’t help thinking that we may discover one one day. But if anyone knows about this name and its connection with the house in Ladysmith, please let us know, and we’ll put you in touch with the enquirer.
That reminded me of a couple of other mysterious names in our family.
My grandfather was Percy Hayes, and at some point he began calling himself Percy Wynn Hayes, and he gave all his children Wynn as a middle name, and I got it too, though none of my first cousins on my father’s side did. My father’s death certificate shows his surname as Wynn-Hayes. The mystery is where the Wynn came from.
I’ve found no relatives with that name. When I was 7 we stayed at the Valley Inn, Ingogo, for a month, and it was run by some distant cousins of my father the Bradburys. There were two children there, Gillian who was about my age, and her brother Michael who was a few years older. We knew we were cousins of some sort, but did not know how. The name of the father was Wynn Bradbury, so I thought, when I became interested in family history, that if I found more about him I’d solve the mystery of where the Wynn came from. I looked up his death notice but discovered that he was actually Harry Winston Churchill Bradbury, Win for short, and that it was his wife Sheila (born Cottam) who was the relation. So the mystery of the Wynn remained unsolved, as it does to this day.
An interesting sidelight on this is where Harry Winston Churchill Bradbury got his moniker. There was, of course, a famous British Prime Minister named Winston Spencer Churchhill, though he wasn’t famous when Win Bradbury was born, back in October 1899. But October 1899 was the month the Anglo-Boer War started, and Win Bradbury was born in Ladysmith, which was almost immediately besieged by Boer forces, and Winston S. Churchill was there as a war correspondent, so perhaps he was known to Win Bradbury’s parents. And that brings us back to Ladysmith, where Barlow House was situated.
Esdaile
When thinking of names associated with houses, another name comes to mind: Esdaile.
My wife Val’s maiden surname was Greene, and a couple of generations earlier it was Green. You will find her great great grandfather Fred Green in Pioneers of Rhodesia by Edward C. Tabler, though erroneously recorded as Frederick Joseph Green. He was actually Frederick Thomas Green, but one of his daughters, I think, told Lawrence G Green (no relation) that his name was Joseph. Lawrence G. Green wrote books about African travel, several of which mentioned the Green family, and Fred Green in particular, among them Thunder on the Blaauwberg and Lords of the last frontier.
The Green family came from Canada, and spread all over the world, and
carried with them the legend that Fred Green’s father, William John Green, alias William Goodall Green, was a son of Edward, Duke of Kent, Queen Victoria’s father. Not true, of course, but his mother, Eliza Green (Fred Green’s grandmother), had two illegitimate children, one by William Goodall, a London businessdman, and the other by Marc Pictet, a Swiss army officer.
Eliza Green later married another London businessman, Thomas Esdaile, by whom she had no children, but he became the stepfather to her children by her earlier liaisons. And ever since then, throughout the world, Green descendants have named their houses, farms, and sometimes their children, Esdaile. So in our family history research the name Esdaile is an indicator of a possible relationship, even though there is no blood relationship with Thomas Esdaile.
So sometimes one discovers the story behind mysterious names, and sometimes one doesn’t.

Lynn Holloway, on 16-October-2010 at 2:15 pm said: I know a bit about Barlow-Jones. Samuel Jones changed his name when he attested to the 45th in Stockport.in 1842. When he discovered that the family name was Barlow, his eldest son Charles James Jones named his younger sons Barlow Jones.

We can set up an articulation agreement with your institution – please contact us. When I complete the program, do I have to attend graduation on campus?
The commencement ceremony is a wonderful way to celebrate your accomplishments and to reunite with your classmates and the faculty in person, however it is not a requirement for any student to participate in the commencement ceremony on campus. I am a licensed athletic trainer (LAT) in Texas; however, I am not BOC-certified. Can I still apply for this program?
YES! If you are LAT in Texas, or eligible to take both the Texas Athletic Trainer Written Examination and the Texas Athletic Trainer Oral/Practical Examination, you are eligible to apply for this program. I am an international applicant. I am not BOC-certified. Can I still apply for this program? YES! If you are a health care professional in the fields of sport, exercise, injury/illness prevention and treatment and engaged in the treatment of active populations OR a graduate of a baccalaureate-level program related to these areas, we can evaluate your educational background to determine if you have the equivalent preparation for our program. In addition to your official transcripts (translated into English, if necessary), we will require copies of detailed course descriptions and topics (translated into English, if necessary) for the relevant courses in order to determine equivalency.

sensusplenior.net
I am in my senior term at the Seminary of the Wilderness. My first ten years were spent as bi-vocational pastor/evangelist in Utah preaching of Christ how I knew best and trying to improve by learning theology from Reformed, Wesleyan, Pentecostal, Baptist and other sources. The second ten years were spent as a BVP/E and discovering that I didn't know what I thought I knew and reading the Bible without outside influence. At the beginning of the third ten I started seeing Christ in the OT, and tried to figure out how and why. I intend in the fourth ten to figure out how to communicate what I learned last term. After that I might be useful for something.
My bias in approaching the Bible is that I believe that it exists in a form today sufficiently intact to be considered infallible.

‘Divergent’ stars Winslet, Judd share thoughts on Shailene Woodley
“Divergent” opens in theaters today, bringing dystopian adventure heroine Tris Prior to the big screen and launching the film’s star Shailene Woodley into the public eye. The film, based on the bestselling young adult book series by Veronica Roth, takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where people are sorted into factions based on personality. Woodley’s Tris finds out she’s divergent, meaning she has aptitude for multiple factions — something that’s not allowed in the rigidly divided society. She decides to hide her divergence and join Dauntless, the faction that values bravery, and as a result finds herself jumping onto moving trains, throwing knives and shooting guns. For Woodley, “Divergent” marks her first step into the world of big-budget action. Her previous work includes playing a teen mom in ABC Family television series “The Secret Life of an American Teenager,” portraying a […] See More »

‘Divergent’: Shailene Woodley in warrior mode for dystopian adventure
When the director and producers of the dystopian action-adventure film “Divergent” sought inspiration for the movie’s teenage heroine, they didn’t turn to “The Hunger Games’” Katniss Everdeen or “Twilight’s” Bella Swan, as might have been expected. Instead, the filmmakers recalled James Dean’s Jim Stark, the rebellious protagonist who defies his parents and his peers in 1955′s “Rebel Without a Cause.” “He just doesn’t feel at home,” director Neil Burger said. “So he goes looking for something more.” Such can be said of Beatrice “Tris” Prior, who struggles against the pressures of conformity in “Divergent,” based on the bestselling trilogy by first-time novelist Veronica Roth. The tale, adapted for the screen by Evan Daugherty and Vanessa Taylor, is set in a future version of Chicago — Burger filmed on location there — in which people are tested when they are young […] See More » | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/322 | {"url": "http://herocomplex.latimes.com/tag/douglas-wick/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "herocomplex.latimes.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:18:12Z", "digest": "sha1:FGI5W3IJSNFGINF4QE5XNHNKLWKUVCXX"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2958, 2958.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2958, 6262.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2958, 10.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2958, 72.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2958, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2958, 211.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2958, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2958, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2958, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2958, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2958, 0.2913257]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2958, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2958, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2958, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2958, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2958, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2958, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2958, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2958, 0.0249584]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2958, 0.00998336]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2958, 0.01123128]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2958, 0.01472995]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2958, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2958, 0.22094926]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2958, 0.56]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2958, 5.06105263]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2958, 0.00490998]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2958, 5.2490709]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2958, 475.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 13, 0.0], [13, 40, 1.0], [40, 107, 0.0], [107, 1020, 0.0], [1020, 1037, 0.0], [1037, 1105, 0.0], [1105, 1970, 0.0], [1970, 1997, 1.0], [1997, 2067, 0.0], [2067, 2958, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 13, 0.0], [13, 40, 0.0], [40, 107, 0.0], [107, 1020, 0.0], [1020, 1037, 0.0], [1037, 1105, 0.0], [1105, 1970, 0.0], [1970, 1997, 0.0], [1997, 2067, 0.0], [2067, 2958, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 13, 2.0], [13, 40, 5.0], [40, 107, 9.0], [107, 1020, 145.0], [1020, 1037, 3.0], [1037, 1105, 10.0], [1105, 1970, 143.0], [1970, 1997, 5.0], [1997, 2067, 9.0], [2067, 2958, 144.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 13, 0.0], [13, 40, 0.45], [40, 107, 0.0], [107, 1020, 0.0], [1020, 1037, 0.0], [1037, 1105, 0.03076923], [1105, 1970, 0.01075269], [1970, 1997, 0.52631579], [1997, 2067, 0.0], [2067, 2958, 0.0045819]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 13, 0.0], [13, 40, 0.0], [40, 107, 0.0], [107, 1020, 0.0], [1020, 1037, 0.0], [1037, 1105, 0.0], [1105, 1970, 0.0], [1970, 1997, 0.0], [1997, 2067, 0.0], [2067, 2958, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 13, 0.15384615], [13, 40, 0.03703704], [40, 107, 0.07462687], [107, 1020, 0.02957284], [1020, 1037, 0.17647059], [1037, 1105, 0.14705882], [1105, 1970, 0.07976879], [1970, 1997, 0.03703704], [1997, 2067, 0.04285714], [2067, 2958, 0.04264871]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2958, 0.01030052]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2958, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2958, 0.92363459]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2958, -249.06054783]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2958, 42.69737072]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2958, -131.99140375]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2958, 25.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

New year, new me
Lynne Patrick
OK, I know. I know. I do this every year. I’ve been doing it for longer than I can remember. And despite all the best intentions in the world, it never seems to last. Maybe it’s because I’m too ambitious. Or maybe I choose the wrong things to attempt. So this year...
I’m not doing the I’m going-to-lose-twenty-pounds-and-fit-into-that-dress thing. The older I get, the harder I have to work to make it happen, and ever since my husband told me he wasn’t interested in the packaging, just the gift inside (I think that’s about the only time he’s ever waxed poetic, but he has other qualities) I’ve taken him at his word. Though I do feel better for shedding a few pounds, so I’ll keep going with the 5/2 diet for a while yet. Well, maybe 6/1 until the Christmas goodies are eaten up. I’m not doing the this-is-the-year-I’m-going-to-get-my-novel-accepted thing either.
If publishing other people’s books taught me one thing (and it actually taught me quite a few) it’s that from the author’s point of view getting published involves a large element of lap of the gods. So I’m being philosophical: if that door is meant to open, I’ll see it standing ajar and find the courage to push. Though I can’t help feeling the whole marketing by social media thing will have to implode before it happens; I checked out yet another relatively new publishing house the other day, and the message was very clear: don’t even bother submitting if you don’t have a huge Facebook and Twitter presence.
I never do the these-are-the-books-I-will-read-this-year thing, mainly because reading is one of the things I do for pleasure, and since 19th century Russian tomes and high-concept litfic don’t do it for me, I really don’t see the point.

DUDUG & THE BLACK DUKE
by Hi-Fructose StaffPosted on March 27, 2013
The print feature in our most recent issue, Vol.27, on graffiti troupe Dudug contains a misprint. We are re-publishing the full feature online. Our apologies to Dudug and writer Nastia Voynovskaya.

Enormous and mysterious, the cruise liner the Duke of Lancaster has been beached in Llanerch-y-Mor on the northern coast of Wales for decades. Once a vessel filled with the extravagant dreams of its owners, the ship was never truly utilized to its full potential. In the 1950s, it served as a passenger cruise ship for tours around the Scottish Isles and Scandinavia and is rumored to have been built for the Royal Family’s escape plan in case of a nuclear attack during World War II. Later, the Duke was re-opened as a retail and leisure complex called the “Fun Ship,” complete with night clubs and restaurants in the early ‘80s. Plans for the Fun Ship never fully materialized and the Duke of Lancaster remained stationary— an overbearing monument to excess, empire and splendor left to disintegrate along with the ideas it once represented.
The gigantic ship’s fate took an unexpected turn after around thirty years of disuse. An art collective called DuDug—whose members’ identities are as mysterious as the true origin of the ship—formed around repurposing the Duke of Lancaster into a large-scale urban art installation dubbed The Black Duke. Their attitude was punk rock and their philosophy was simple: “Your ship looked like shit, so we painted it!” DuDug enlisted a group of local and international street and graffiti artists—including Lora Zombie, FinDAC, KIWIE, FatHeat, Cream Soda Crew, Andy Mercer, Bungle, MrZero, GOIN, Sweet Toof and Si Clark—to cover the ship with murals, hoping to open it up to the public as a tourist attraction in the quiet Welsh waterfront.
“The use of the ship isn’t as unlikely as you think. I had seen the ship whilst traveling by train to Dublin and it immediately caught my imagination, there are so many angles and profiles an artist could use, together with different colors, textures and surfaces,” said Maurice Blunt, one of the project’s facilitators. “If you couple this to the fact the sun comes directly over the ship from port to starboard each day this adds to the magic and character of the both the ship and ultimately the art by casting regularly shifting shadows or light on the art.”
Obtaining the necessary permission to convert the Duke of Lancaster into The Black Duke was no easy task. After grappling with local authorities (who proved to be unreceptive, to say the least) over safety concerns and potential environmental hazards, the DuDug team trudged through the mire of historical drama and government corruption and established an agreement with the ship’s owners. They were able to proceed with painting in the fall of 2012.
KIWIE was the first artist selected. “His signature character is easily recognizable so we knew the impact would be instantly massive,” Maurice commented. He was followed by the Cream Soda Crew, who are local arts activists and community organizers. “The rest of the artists sort of chose themselves, all are extremely well known in the UK and European urban art world, are very much sought after for other events such as UpFest, and all had work featured in many of the arts blogs (which were starting to feature DuDug),” she went on. “We knew once these guys saw the ship and understood the history, they would be more than happy to come to the back-of-beyond to paint her.”
The Black Duke’s aesthetic scope touches upon different styles currently at play in the street art world. FinDAC’s gracefully painted geisha gazes fearlessly into the distance at the front of the ship, flanked on both sides by KIWIE’s self- satisfied bears flashing toothy grins. Bungle’s photorealistic portrayal of a white collar criminal in a ski mask, MrZero’s pig in police gear and GOIN’s anthropomorphic chimpanzees in business suits add a pronounced streak of political satire—a clear spelling-out of DuDug’s anti-authoritarian spirit. Aficionados of old school graffiti, Cream Soda Crew blasted the ship with brightly colored, wild-style lettering. Most of the murals are visible from the coastal path, The Black Duke gleaming on the horizon with an explosion of shapes and colors.
Each artist approached the project with energy and momentum given this rare opportunity to leave her or his imprint on a historical relic. The murals were completed one at a time until November, when DuDug decided to invite multiple artists to paint simultaneously. FinDAC, MrZero, GOIN and FatHeat worked long, chaotic days together, arriving at the ship at 9 a.m. and sometimes not leaving until 2:30 the next morning, as all projection work needed to be done at night.
DuDug hope to eventually cover the entire ship with as many as twenty murals and establish it as a permanent open-art urban art gallery and a space for community arts projects. But even though street art is beginning to become more institutionalized in other European countries and other cities in the UK, the local government of Llanerch-y-Mor seems to have made its decision to stand against the project without considering its potential to benefit the region creatively and economically, according to Maurice. The ship’s owners, however, have been supportive.
“Even with all the historical disputes with the local authorities which have caused previous projects at the site to never really take off, the owners still want nothing more than to see new life breathed into The Black Duke of Lancaster,” Maurice explained. “We would love to be in an area where this sort of project is supported by the authorities, such as UpFest in Bristol and Sea, Sand and Spray in Blackpool.”
Still, DuDug continue to fight to make their ambitions a reality, and as more high-profile artists get on board, this anachronistic vessel has a chance to transform the quiet coast of northern Wales into an international contemporary art destination. “At the end of the day, urban art is for everyone and no one can deny the skill and expertise the artists have brought to the ship,” said Maurice assuredly. “She will become a masterpiece in her own right.”

Newsline 2011 Baseball Season Recap
Release Date:June 6, 2011
Contact:The Office of Sports Information(716) 649-7900 ext. 333 2011 Season Review: With two seniors leading the way, the Hilbert College baseball team took several steps forward this 2011 season under the direction of first year head coach, Jim Pernick. The Hawks finished the rain-soaked season 5-25 and 3-15 in Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference league play, but improvement was apparent based on game recaps. The youthful team lost four AMCC games by one run, and another conference game by two runs; with a deeper pitching staff and consistent defensive play, the Hawks could have been in position to fight for a play-off spot in May.
With limited outdoor practice opportunities, Hilbert traveled to Cocoa Beach, FL to participate in the Cocoa Expo Baseball spring tournament. Taking the field for the first time live, the Hawks faced mainly Division III teams also from the northern states looking for sunshine and productive field conditions. Hilbert opened the season with losses against Rochester College (MI), Manhattanville (NY), Westminster (PA), and Oswego State (NY) before capturing their first win (8-5) against Bethany College (WV). Returning to campus 1-7, the Hawks were ready to play ball but Mature Nature wasn’t as cooperative. Eight double header games were impacted with the rain and/or snow in March and even into April. Hilbert had to reschedule eight games and cancel games with three other non-conference opponents. RIT gave the Hawks their first northern loss and a wake-up call to the team. In the middle portion of the AMCC schedule, the Hawks split games with league opponents providing a little excitement within the campus community.
March 30th, the Hawks traveled to Penn State Behrend for their first Pernick-coached AMCC game. The Lions took the game from the visitors in extra innings (2-1) before dominating game two (15-2). In their next AMCC game, at La Roche, Hilbert played two close games losing both by one run (8-7 and 6-5) to one of the top teams in the league. At this point in the season, Hilbert was showing signs of growth and confidence.
Due to Hilbert’s sloppy field, the Hawks hosted Mount Aloysius College at St. Bonaventure University (Olean, NY) April 10th. Hilbert played like champions in game one, winning their first AMCC game 3-2. Then the team struggled defensively surrendering in a 14-5 defeat. Four days later, Hilbert hosted their ONLY home game of the season on campus against Pitt-Bradford. The Hawks started the day slowly losing game one (14-2) but turned the corner in game two, and, behind Nick Sherman’s pitching (struck out 10 and gave up only 2 hits), Hilbert won their first AMCC game in a 6-0 shut-out.
Playing a home game at Franciscan University was another game change for Hilbert. April 17th found the Hawks opening with a 23-6 defeat only to find them flipping the results in a 10-8 game two victory. Ryan LaCorte took the win in just over 5 innings of work.
The Hawks finished the season with one other non-conference road game as well as four other AMCC double headers, none of which were played in Hamburg. Against Cazenovia, the Hawks stormed back to take the 5-4 lead in the top of the 7th inning and held on to capture their last win of season. In order to get the game played, both D’Youville and Hilbert traveled to Batavia, NY for their double header game at Genesee Community College April 27. D’Youville outscored the Hawks 36 – 9 for their programs first wins of season. The next afternoon, Hilbert hosted Penn State Altoona at Pitt-Bradford’s field and suffered two more lopsided losses before hosting Pitt-Greensburg at Erie Community College April 30. Frank Simmeth and Ryan LaCorte were honored in between games for their dedication to the program. Both athletes played in every game during their four years at Hilbert.
Unfortunately, due to the terrible 2011 spring weather, the Hawks played three fewer games than the 2010 season which impacted team statistics as well as individual stats. Junior Matt Militello (Depew, NY/Lancaster) lead the Hawks hitting with (.378) average, scored 18 runs off 37 hits (with 5 doubles and one triple) earning 13 RBI. He also held the team high slugging percentage of (.449) and stole 14 bases (of 17 attempts). Seniors Ryan LaCorte (Cheektowaga, NY/JFK) and Frank Simmeth (Cheektowaga, NY/St. Mary’s) were solid performers all season long. LaCorte lead the team with 20 runs and hit the team’s solo home run with a (.316) average. Simmeth finished with 23 hits (4 doubles) and 10 RBI and was a perfect 4 for 4 on stolen bases. Earning an AMCC Player of the Week honor was freshman Frank Mancuso (Cheektowaga, NY/Cheektowaga) who finished the season with 11 RBI (.305 ave) and 135 outs stretching from 1st base to beat the runner. Besides Militello, junior Jim Pernick (Tonawanda, NY/St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute) was the only other player to start every game in 2011. Pernick was a versatile defensive player who earned 12 RBI with five doubles in his 30 games.
Coach Pernick used the approach of ‘Pitcher by Committee’ using a total of 17 players on the mound with nine players appearing in six or more games during the season. Even though an eye injury prevented him from playing for seven days at a crucial point in the season, junior Nick Sherman (Lancaster, NY/Lancaster) spent the most amount of time on the mound tossing a total of 46 innings (5.28 era and 41 strike outs) in 9 games. For his efforts, Sherman was also honored by the AMCC as Pitcher of the Week one time in 2011. With a full season under his belt, Coach Pernick is excited about the 2012 season. Current returning players will be blended with incoming freshman and transfer student-athletes to complete the roster and fight for an AMCC play-off berth.

“Simplify The Personal Income Tax Code And Lower Rates. Rather than nibble around the edges of the existing tax code, Gov. Huntsman will introduce a revenue-neutral tax plan that eliminates all deductions and credits in favor of three drastically lower rates of 8%, 14% and 23%. Eliminating deductions and credits in favor of lower marginal rates will yield a simpler and more efficient tax code, decreasing the burden on taxpayers…
“Eliminate The Taxes On Capital Gains And Dividends In Order To Eliminate The Double Taxation On Investment. Capital gains and dividend taxes amount to a double-taxation on individuals who choose to invest. Because dollars invested had to first be earned, they have already been subject to the income tax. Taxing these same dollars again when capital gains are realized serves to deter productive and much-needed investment in our economy.
“Reduce The Corporate Rate From 35% To 25%. The United States cannot compete while burdened with the second-highest corporate tax rate in the developed world; American companies and our workers deserve a level playing field. With high unemployment, it is important that we not push corporations and capital overseas. We need employers to be based in America if they’re going to provide jobs to Americans.”
“Current polls say Jon Huntsman, former Utah governor and ambassador to China, isn’t a top tier candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. But he certainly has a top-tier economic plan. Huntsman will offer a broad proposal later today – covering taxes, regulation, trade and energy. But I already had a peek at the tax part. And I think it is excellent…
“At first glance, this looks like perhaps the most pro-growth, pro-market (and anti-crony capitalist) tax plan put forward by a major U.S. president candidate since Ronald Reagan in 1980. But it is not without political risk. In addition to killing tax breaks for businesses, Huntsman would eliminate the mortgage interest deduction, healthcare exclusion, and the child tax credit among other “tax expenditures. ” We’re talking about a whole herd of sacred cows. Both his fellow presidential candidates and Washington lobbyists will likely attack him for some of those ideas.”
“In order to infuse predictability and certainty into the marketplace – which it doesn’t have today and therefore it has no confidence and therefore you don’t have business employing and you don’t have business releasing capital expenditures into the marketplace — you have to get certainty in terms of tax reform. We’re going to lower rates [23 percent, 14 percent, 8 percent and a zero capital gains rate] with three brackets and an income tax return that would resemble a post card. This is reminiscent of what I did as governor where I actually created something close to a flat tax where we worked to eliminate all the deductions and loopholes.
“So I am premising both individual and corporate tax reform [with a top rate lowered to 24 percent] on clearing the cobwebs out. You pay for it by eliminating corporate welfare, by phasing out subsidies and loopholes and deductions. My goal would be to phase out everything on the corporate side and the individual side. I know that is controversial. I know there is a political risk there. But that is the only way you can raise the revenue to buy down the rates. There ‘s no other way to pay for it. When I was governor it took us two years, we brought both parties together and we got it done. So I am coming at this exercise as probably the only person in the race who’s actually been through this effort before.”
“But here’s the problem. The tax code, when combined with entitlements as now structured, overtaxes parents, and the child credit only partially offsets that effect. By abolishing the credit–a legacy of the Gingrich Congress and the Bush administration–Huntsman would be taking a step away from neutrality and toward a perverse form of social engineering.
“And while we don’t know all the details it seems highly likely that the net result would be a higher tax bill for most middle-class parents, also known as Republican voters. Attacking the financial interests of your own side’s voters is praiseworthy only if it is in the service of good policy.”

I am seriously a huge fan of the fair tax. Will never happen though. The IRS and tax preparers, tax lawyers, CPA’s, etc. will never allow that to happen here. It is a shame.

Samsung Galaxy S 4 Review: Bigger, Faster, Stronger
Author: Marco Chiappetta
Samsung has done an exceptional job the past few years building interest and recognition for their Galaxy-branded smartphones. The fervor isn’t quite on the level of Apple's iPhone launches, but if the attendance of their “Samsung Unpacked” event at Radio City Music Hall and the buzz on-line for today’s introduction is any indicator, Samsung has tapped into something big and earned a cult following, very much like Apple has over the years. And the sales figures back this up, of course, all of which show Samsung dominating the Android-based smartphone market.
When a company is clearly on top, people tend to scrutinize every move a little (or lot) more closely, depending on where their allegiances lie. For Samsung, and perhaps Android fans as well, availability of the Galaxy S 4 is a momentous occasion. Although it’ll be strongly contested by competing devices from HTC, LG, and others, the Samsung Galaxy S 4 currently represents the pinnacle of Android-based smartphones. Fans will want to see this phone succeed and will point out its differentiating features at every turn. Detractors, however, will have a few things to say as well. At first glance, for example, the Galaxy S 4 is nearly indistinguishable from the Galaxy S III. Though the devices are actually quite different, their physical similarities alone are going to give the haters fuel for the impending flame wars.
Regardless of which side you’re on, or if you don’t have any particular brand/mobile OS loyalty at all, availability of the Galaxy S 4 we’ll be showing you here is a significant event. Not only is it the next iteration of the most popular brand of Android-based phones, but it is a device that Samsung has infused with a slew of new features, some of which are not available anywhere else. To accompany the device, Samsung is also releasing a myriad of accessories, which include everything from simple bumpers and covers to connected scales and heart monitors.
Before we dive in and take a look at all of the particulars, here’s a video of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 in action. Some of the device’s features are difficult to appreciate and describe with words alone, so we hope you check this out before proceeding.

2,600 mA As you can see in the chart above, the Samsung Galaxy S 4’s main features and specifications are quite impressive in light of competing devices currently on the market. We’re going to cover many aspects of the S 4 on the pages ahead, but we’ll quickly summarize a few of the improvements over the Galaxy S III here as well. You’ll note this new device has a 5” screen (actual size is 4.99”, but who’s counting?) with a full HD 1080P resolution, for a pixel density of 441PPI. The screen is also covered in Corning Gorilla Glass 3, and features Samsung’s HD Super AMOLED technology.
U.S. variants of the Galaxy S 4 are powered by a fast, 1.9GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core SoC (international versions have an octal-core Exynos 5). The Snapdragon 600 features Qualcomm’s updated Krait 300 CPU architecture, which improves performance and efficiency. The Snapdragon 600 is also outfitted with a more powerful Adreno 320 GPU, which supports the OpenGL ES 3.0, DirectX, OpenCL, Renderscript Compute and FlexRender APIs. The SoC is paired to 2GB of LP-DDR3 memory, the device features 4G LTE, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity (including 802.11ac), a 13MP rear camera, and everything is powered by a beefy 2600 mAh battery. The Samsung Galaxy S 4 also sports a wider array of sensors, which include an accelerometer, and RGB light, Geomagnetic, Proximity, Gyro, Barometric, Temperature and Humidity, and Gesture sensors. The gesture sensor is a particularly interesting addition, as it allows users to control a number of the phones features without even touching the screen—make sure you watch the video above to see that in action. It’s pretty cool and others are sure to copy it ASAP.
In addition to all of the updated or upgraded hardware components, Samsung has done plenty of new things with the software on the Galaxy S 4 as well. We’re going to talk about some new features and improvements to TouchWiz on the pages ahead, and will cover a number of camera modes and S-Apps later too. We should also draw some attention to the S 4’s KNOX feature. KNOX is a play off of “Fort Knox”, and is a feature that partitions the phone into personal and work-related spaces. If you’d like to carry only one device for personal and professional use, with KNOX, you can keep all of your personal data completely separate from any professional files. It’s not something general consumers are likely to take advantage of, but IT departments will appreciate KNOX’s capabilities, especially with more and more companies allowing employees to use their own devices for work.
Design and Exterior
As we noted previously, the Galaxy S 4 sports a 5” (technically 4.99”) screen with a full 1080p resolution (1080x1920, 440PPI), a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 SoC running at a swift 1.9GHz, 2GB of RAM, a 13MP camera, and a number of other additional sensors and updates that allow for some interesting features.
The Samsung Galaxy S 4, Front and Back. A Black Version Is Also Available.
Although the Galaxy S 4 has a larger screen than the Galaxy S III, the S 4 is roughly the same height and width, thanks to thinner bezels all around. The S 4, however, is thinner and lighter than the S III. The Galaxy S 4’s dimensions measure 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm and it weighs in at 130g. According to Samsung, though the device is thinner and lighter, it is more ridged and stronger than the S III, due to tweaks in materials and design. The phone definitely feels good in the hand, and it is clearly more rigid than the Galaxy S III. Torqueing / twisting the device doesn’t result in the same type of squeaks and creaks that the S III had.
In addition to better build quality, the phone’s full HD Super AMOLED 5” screen looks great. Couple those densely packed pixels and high resolution with excellent brightness and vivid colors and the S 4’s screen is sure to impress. When placed side by side against a Note II and a Droid RAZR MAXX, and the superior clarity of the S 4’s screen was obvious and it appeared to display white backgrounds more accurately too. There were not “off color” whites—things looked simply just "white."
The Galaxy S 4 Is Only 7.9mm Thick
The Galaxy S 4 is nice and thin at 7.9mm, and like the S III, it has a metallic band that runs along its edge. Button placement and configuration is the same as the S III as well, though the tolerances are noticeably tighter on the S 4. We should also mention that the band on the S 4 is reportedly stronger than the one used on the S III, though we’re not clear on what material is used to produce it.
The Galaxy S 4 is going to be offered in black or white initially, and like the S III, it has a removable back cover so users can access the battery, SIM slot, and micro-SD expansion slot. The finish on the back cover seemed to be of a better quality than the S III, though it is still made of a flexible composite material. We should point out that under that cover lies a beefy 2,600mAh battery, which offers surprisingly good battery life, despite the phone’s high-end specs. It’s not quite as beefy as the 3,100mAh unit in the Note II, but it is much larger than the 2,100mAh of the similarly-sized S III.
The Galaxy S 4's 13mp Rear-Facing Camera With LED Flash
The 13mp rear facing camera, which compliments the front-facing 2mp camera, is also a nice upgrade over previous models. In addition, the S 4’s camera software offers a number of new features that allow both the front and rear facing cameras to be used simultaneously, so the person taking pics or video can be inserted into any shots being taken / recorded. The S4 also gives users the ability to embed audio into stills, should you want to send a message off to someone along with the picture, without having to send a much larger video file. We'll cover more of the camera's features a little later...
User Interface and Experience
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 ships with Android Jelly Bean v4.2.2 right out of the box, with Samsung’s TouchWiz interface enhancements integrated into the OS. Overall, we like many of the additions offered by TouchWiz and the build of Jelly Bean on the phone feels very polished and fluid. The work Google has put into Jelly Bean and Samsung has put into TouchWiz really shows on the Galaxy S 4, not only in terms of stability and fluidity, but additional features as well.
Samsung Galaxy S 4 (Sprint Version) Stock Home Screens
When the S 4 is first powered on, the home screens are fairly loaded up with widgets and shortcuts, but they can be quickly and easily customized. Responsiveness to touch is very good on the S 4, easily among the best we have experienced on any Android device. There is minimal lag when touching / dragging items, pinch to zoom is fluid and responsive, and transition animations are buttery smooth. Launching applications is also very quick; during everyday use, the S 4 simply felt fast, which should be expected considering the high-end nature of the device. The 5” HD Super AMOLED screen on the S 4 is also very good. We’re not sure what the sub-pixel arrangement looks like on this particular screen, but even upon close inspection things looks great. As is the case with other Super AMOLED screens, there are likely fewer sub-pixels in the S 4’s display than a similar resolution IPS LCD, but until we see it under a microscope, we’re speculating. Either way, the screen is a definitely strong point on the Galaxy S 4. As we’ve come to expect from Samsung’s Super AMOLED displays, colors are very vibrant and somewhat over saturated, and the screen has good brightness. It doesn’t seem quite as bright as the screen on the HTC One X or Nokia Lumia 920, but the screen on the S 4 has excellent contrast and very deep blacks, which make up for it. As is the case with many smartphones, the glossy display is somewhat hard to see in direct sunlight, but that is par for the course. Viewing angles are very good, which makes for easy sharing of content with others around you, even when not directly in front of the device. As we’ve mentioned, the true HD screen offers a high resolution of 1080x1920, which results in crisp and sharp images that are among the best of the smartphones available today. Samsung Galaxy S 4 S Translator, WatchOn, and Samsung Link
In addition to the standard Google-fare included with Android 4.2.2, the Samsung Galaxy S 4 comes preloaded with a number of other applications. Preloaded on the device are Samsung’s App store and newly-redesigned, and consolidated Hub, which features easy access to music, movies, videos and books. In addition, there are a number of S-branded apps installed on the S 4 too, including S Memo, S Health, S Translator, S Voice, Samsung Link and Watch On. S Memo is obviously a digital memo pad and S Health is the utility to link the Galaxy S 4 with the many health-related accessories also launching along with the device, like the heart monitor and scale. S Translator is an awesome utility that can not only do text-to-speech and speech-to-text translations of many popular languages, but it can scan images using the device’s camera and do some optical character recognition and translation too. If you travel a lot, S Translator is going to come in quite handy. S Voice is Samsung’s voice control / command app and Samsung Link is the tool you’d use to link multiple devices together, for easy content sharing. WatchOn is another cool tool, that not only lets you configure the Galaxy S 4 to act as a universal remote control (for any brand of device, not just Samsung), but it provides TV listings and easy access to content as well. Since the Galaxy S 4 is also a phone, we should probably speak a bit about voice quality. Like the Galaxy Note II and a number of other popular phones, the Galaxy S 4 employ's Audience's EarSmart technology. EarSmart is a real-time noise suppression—not noise cancellation—technology that can be tailored for specific levels of noise suppression. In the demos we saw (and heard) of EarSmart, the technology was able to essentially filter out background noise as a person spoke into a microphone, which is what a smartphone has to do when a user is speaking in a noisy environment. The S 4 performed very well in that regard. When using the S 4 in a car with the windows down, for example, the wind noise was mostly blocked out to the listener at the other end of the call. Music playing in the car was also mostly suppressed. In quiet environments, the S 4’s call quality was excellent. Camera Performance and Battery Life
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 ships with a 13MP rear facing camera with auto-focus and a build in LED flash and a front facing 2MP camera for video-chat and 2-in-1 shot purposes. The main camera also features full 1080P video recording capabilities and a multitude of different shooting modes and capabilities.
Samsung Galaxy S 4 Sample Photos
We found the S 4’s camera to be very good, but not great. There is minimal shutter lag (the S 4 is capable of a multi-shot burst like many other recent smartphones) and the resolution is very high. We found most of the images to be somewhat under-saturated, however, and focus wasn't always great in artificial light. In natural light or indoors, when the flash is not used, images looks good, but as you can see in the samples above, they are not very vibrant. When the flash is used though, especially with relatively close objects, the images can look over-saturated. We’d speculate that Samsung tuned the cameras to produce images that look optimal on the Galaxy S 4’s HD Super AMOLED screen, but once they’re shared from the phone, the slight deficiencies become evident. We should also note that the camera is configured for 9.4MP shots (16:9) by default, so the pictures fill the screen. You'll have to set the camera to 13MP (4:3) if you want to capture images at full resolution.
The Galaxy S 4's Camera Offers A Number Of Different Shooting Modes
The Galaxy S 4’s camera isn’t just about higher-resolutions. Samsung has also added a number of features and capabilities. First, we should point out that the phone’s power button and volume rocker can be configured to act as shutter and zoom buttons, which can come in handy. Samsung has also incorporated a number of shooting modes, a few of which are new. Best face, Best photo, Panorama, and a few others have been around for a while in one form or another, but Sound & Shot, Drama, Animated Photo and Eraser are new. As the name suggests, Sound & Shot gives users the ability to attach sound clips to photos. Drama mode sets the phone to capture a 100 shot burst of images, and then it takes the best images in which the subject is not overlapping, and inserts the subject into multiple positions within a single photo. Animated photo allows you to take a burst of photos of a subject in motion and produce a short animated GIF, and Eraser mode gives users the ability to erase objects from the background of an image. For example, with Eraser mode, if someone walks behind the subject, that person can be removed to reveal the complete background. Samsung also offers the ability to use the front and rear cameras simultaneously, which allows users to insert themselves into photos. The person taking the shot can be imprinted in a stamp or any one of a number of other styles, which can be moved around the screen, resized, etc.
We also captured some quick video with the Galaxy S 4. As you can see, focus is pretty good, especially considering the number of moving subjects (and that they're behind glass and in water!), and color saturation appears to be decent as well, but you won't be replacing your HD camcorder with a smartphone just yet.
HotHardware Battery Life Test
As is the case with any 4G smartphone with a large, high-res screen, battery life can sometimes be an issue. Samsung claims the S 4’s 3.8 Volt, 2600 mAh Lithium Ion battery can last for up to 300 hours in 4G standby (350 hours using 3G), with up to 17 hours of talk time, 69 hours of music playback, 11 hours of video play time, and up to 8 hours browsing the web with 3G or 4G, or 10 hours on Wi-Fi. To take the Galaxy S 4's battery to task, we first tried to fire up our standard HotHardware battery test. In this test, we set up a webpage with a mix of graphics and text and the page automatically refreshes itself every three minutes. We set the S 4's display to 50% brightness and turned off Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, Sprint's service is horrible in our area and Samsung's browser seemed to be caching data and the latest versions of Android no longer display Flash, which was part of this test. So, since our original test was out, we instead looped a 1080P video streamed from the web over Wi-Fi to hammer of the S 4 non-stop until it dropped into low-power mode.
Despite the Galaxy S 4's relatively large screen, bright, high-res screen, it put up some very impressive battery life numbers, comparable to some of the best phones we tested. We should also point out that standby times are excellent. We left the phone sitting for days and the battery had only drained a couple of percentage points. With moderate to heavy use, Galaxy S 4 owners should have absolutely no trouble making it through a full work day and more. Under light use, we'd expect two full days of usable battery life would also be possible.
Here's exactly what the battery drain graph looked like after steaming 1080P video from the web on the Galaxy S 4 for over 8.5 hours. Please note, that there was still 15% left on the battery at this point. However, the S 4's screen dimmed and it starts throwing low-power warnings once the battery life gets too low.
Performance: CPU and GPU
In addition to using the Samsung Galaxy S 4 in a variety of everyday usage scenarios, we also conducted some formal performance testing to see how well the device compared to some of the other smartphones we have recently evaluated. CPU testing Android CPU testing In the Linpack for Android benchmark, the Samsung Galaxy S 4's quad-core 1.9GHz Snapdragon 600 SoC put up the best score we have seen to date. In both the single and multi-threaded version of this benchmark, the Samsung Galaxy S 4 led the pack.
Graphics testing Android graphics testing The Galaxy S 4 also put up the best scores we have seen in two of the three An3DBench XL tests we ran. And in the third test, it performed right up there with the fastest devices we've seen.
The Galaxy S 4 also put up some excellent graphics-related benchmark scores in GL Bench. The iPhone 5 holds onto a commanding lead in the GL Benchmark fillrate test, but the S 4 pulled ahead of the iPhone 4S and all of the other Android-based devices we tested. The Galaxy S 4 also put up the best score we have seen in the Egypt Off-Screen benchmark, besting everything else by a wide margin.
Performance: Javascript and Browsing
Next up, we have some numbers from the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark. According to the SunSpider website: This benchmark tests the core JavaScript language only, not the DOM or other browser APIs. It is designed to compare different versions of the same browser, and different browsers to each other. Unlike many widely available JavaScript benchmarks, this test is:
Real World - This test mostly avoids microbenchmarks, and tries to focus on the kinds of actual problems developers solve with JavaScript today, and the problems they may want to tackle in the future as the language gets faster. This includes tests to generate a tagcloud from JSON input, a 3D raytracer, cryptography tests, code decompression, and many more examples. There are a few microbenchmarkish things, but they mostly represent real performance problems that developers have encountered.
Balanced - This test is balanced between different areas of the language and different types of code. It's not all math, all string processing, or all timing simple loops. In addition to having tests in many categories, the individual tests were balanced to take similar amounts of time on currently shipping versions of popular browsers.
Statistically Sound - One of the challenges of benchmarking is knowing how much noise you have in your measurements. This benchmark runs each test multiple times and determines an error range (technically, a 95% confidence interval). In addition, in comparison mode it tells you if you have enough data to determine if the difference is statistically significant.
JavaScript testing JavaScript Android and iPhone testing The Galaxy Note II's combination of Jelly Bean and a fast Quad-Core SoC put up the best Sunspider score we've seen from an Android device as well. The iPhone 5 and Nokia Lumia 920 (Windows Phone) had previously held the top spots in this benchmark on mobile device, but not anymore.
Rightware Browsermark
Web Browsing Performance
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 put up an excellent score in Rightware's Browsermark too. The iPhone 5 blew everything out of the water upon its release last year, but the Samsung Galaxy S 4 was able to overtake the iPhone 5 and outpace every other smartphone we have tested, with the exception of the LG Optimus G.
We should point out that we tested the S 4 with its stock browser and with Google Chrome, but have reported the score with the stock browser here, since it offered higher performance.
Our Summary and Conclusion
Performance Summary: Samsung’s choice of components and implementation of Android 4.2.2 make summarizing the Galaxy S 4’s performance easy. Quite simply, overall, this is the fastest smartphone we have tested to date. The Snapdragon 600 SoC at the heart of the Galaxy S 4 put up the best scores we have seen in the majority of our benchmark tests and during real-world use, the phone was fluid and snappy. Our experience using the Galaxy S 4 for the past week or so has been among the best we’ve had with any smartphone.
The full HD screen on the Galaxy S 4 was also very nice and despite the phone’s high-performance, battery life was good.
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 in White
The S 4 has some obvious physical similarities to the Galaxy S III, which most consumers may not care about. On the plus side, you can tell the S 4 is a Samsung device from across the room and users that are already familiar with the S III will be immediately comfortable with much of what the S 4 has the offer. The downside is that many of the complaints about the S III, like its flimsy plastic back cover and seams around its edges, among others, apply to the Galaxy S 4 as well. Samsung has improved the rigidity of the S 4, however, and tightened the tolerances around the buttons and seams, which will improve the durability of the device.
On the software front, Samsung has put a ton of work into differentiating Touchwiz from competing experiences. Android purists would probably prefer fewer modifications to the stock interface, but the additional features offered by Touchwiz are too numerous to dismiss. Gesture controls, easier to use camera modes, multi-window support, screen-mirroring, and Smart Stay and scrolling are all welcome additions in our book. Whether you like or even appreciate Touchwiz, it’s clear that Samsung is trying to innovate on the software front as well.
The Galaxy S 4 is going to be available from every major carrier in the US over the course of the next few days (Sprint, T-Mobile) or weeks (AT&T, Verizon), with prices for the 16GB model starting at around $149 and increasing to about $249, depending on the carrier and contract terms. That puts the Galaxy S 4’s price in-line with other high-profile, high-performance Android-based devices, but also makes it relatively expensive in light of recently discounted, but still great devices like Samsung’s own Galaxy S III or the HTC One X. The GS4's pricing is on par with other high-end smartphones, however. In the end, the Galaxy S 4 is easily Samsung’s best smartphone to date. Not only does it offer better performance and many new features over the previous generation, but Samsung has improved the user experience as well. If you’re in the market for a new smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S 4 deserves serious consideration, regardless of whether or not you're an Android or iOS user currently.

"I have a lot of growing up to do. I realized that the other day inside my fort."
"I came here in peace, seeking gold and slaves."
"A black C student can't do shit with his life. A black C student can't be a manager at Burger King, meanwhile a white C student just happens to be the President of the United States."
"You don't know anything about pain until you've seen your own baby drowned in a tub and you definitely don't know anything about how to wash a baby."
"They lie about marijuana: 'Marijuana makes you unmotivated.' Lie. When you're high, you can do anything you normally do just as well. You just realize it's not worth the fucking effort. There's a difference."
"Who has connections to Connecticut? That's where rich people go to live the rest of their life in the woods."
"I think it's wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly."
"Onions make me sad. A lot of people don't realize that."
"I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap."
"I am originally from Indiana. I know what most of you are thinking: Indiana - mafia."
"I did a gig in the U.S. once for the homeless. I said 'It's nice to see so many bums on seats.'"
"The worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades"
"There's a reason it's called 'girls gone wild' and not 'women gone wild'. When girls go wild, they show their tits. When women go wild, they kill men and drown their kids in a tub."
"I have a friend. He keeps trying to convince me he's a compulsive liar, but I don't believe him."
"I taught Sunday School for two years. And I got fired. I abused my authority. I used to teach class like this, 'OK, if one more person talks, everybody is going to Hell.'
Maragaret Cho
"It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens."
"Thirty ways to shape up for summer. Number one: eat less. Number two: exercise more. Number three: what was I talking about again? I'm so hungry."
Maria Bamford
"I'm on a whiskey diet. I've lost three days already."
"In Seattle, they have a saying: 'If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes and then shoot yourself in the face.'"
"There's no such thing as addiction, there's only things that you enjoy doing more than life."
"I don't worry about terrorism. I was married for two years."
"I had to stop drinking, cause I got tired of waking up in my car driving 90."
"The liberals can understand everything but people who don't understand them."
"Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy."
"Starbucks says they are going to start putting religious quotes on cups. The very first one will say, 'Jesus! This cup is expensive!'"
"The New England Journal of Medicine reports that 9 out of 10 doctors agree that 1 out of 10 doctors is an idiot."
"I can't wait till Sunday, I'm gonna see my favorite niece and my other niece"
"According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy."
"The people voting for the Oscars are so old. I haven't seen one Academy Award voter with a tampon in her purse."
"I had a wonderful childhood, which is tough because it's hard to adjust to a miserable adulthood."

Bruce Springsteen Jams With Jimmy Fallon on 'Bridgegate'
Classic "Born to Run" was hijacked for a funny take on scandal overshadowing the Governor's office.
Bruce Springsteen performed onstage with NBC talk show host Jimmy Fallon last night to sing a parody of "Born to Run" about the "Bridgegate" controversy. Fallon began the skit, dressed as Springsteen in the 1980s, with bandana, shades and sleeveless denim shirt. He did a great impression with an acoustic guitar, belting out scandal-inspired lyrics like, "maybe this Bridgegate was just payback, it's bitch-slap to the state Democrats. We got to get out while we can. We’re stuck in
Gov. Chris Christie’s Fort Lee N.J., traffic jam."Springsteen then appeared out of the shadows in shades with his guitar and sang: "Governor let me in, I want to be your friend.
There’ll be no partisan divisions." Watch the video above.

When Do Self-Defense Laws Apply?

Listen Transcript MICHEL MARTIN, HOST: I'm Michel Martin and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. Coming up, just in time for the holidays, some big box stores want to help customers finance those shopping sprees, but will financial products from big retailers be a hit or a miss for consumers? We'll speak with our business reporter who's looked at this. That's just ahead in our Money Coach conversation. But, first, we want to talk about a legal battle that's raising new questions about the so-called Stand Your Ground laws. More than 20 states have laws that expand the traditional legal definition of self-defense. The most famous case you might have heard about in connection with these laws is the one involving Trayvon Martin. He is the Florida teenager who was fatally shot by George Zimmerman, a self-described Neighborhood Watch man. His case has taken on racial overtones since Trayvon Martin was African-American and George Zimmerman is white and Latino. However, the principles behind Stand Your Ground, also known as the Castle Doctrine in some states, are also in the news in another case that you might not have heard much about, where interestingly enough there are also racial overtones, but in reverse. John McNeil is an African-American homeowner. He is currently serving a life sentence for fatally shooting a white contractor on his property in 2005. McNeil is appealing the conviction and there are civil rights leaders, including the NAACP, supporting him. Here to tell us more about this is Rhonda Cook. She's a veteran reporter for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and she's with us now. Welcome. Thanks so much for joining us. RHONDA COOK: Happy to be here. MARTIN: The facts of this case are complex and I'm going to try to summarize them. The homeowner is John McNeil. He has a teenage son who calls John McNeil from home one afternoon, saying that there is an intruder in the backyard with a knife. Mr. McNeil started driving toward his home. He calls the police on his way. When he arrives at home, he has a confrontation with Brian Epp, who it turns out was a person he had once hired as a contractor. A confrontation ensues. Mr. McNeil says he shot Brian Epp in self-defense. What were the factors that the prosecutors say led them to charge Mr. McNeil? COOK: Well, these two men had a history. There was a lot of animosity and then there was the 911 call in which John McNeil said he was going to do harm to Brian Epp. So they use that as sort of a - you know, he was planning to do something. So those were the two factors that worked into their decision. MARTIN: The way the McNeil family and their supporters in this see this is that the law should have been - and, in fact, was - on their side. Was this issue addressed at trial? COOK: At trial, they discussed whether he was defending himself, but what has got the case back in the courts is that an appellate judge said that he also had the right to defend his property or habitat and he had the right to defend a third person, in this case, his son. So the case has been sent back, told to retry it and include those instructions to the jury, that that is a defense. He's defending somebody else or he's defending his home and not just himself. MARTIN: I want to mention here that we reached out to a number of interested parties in the case. We called the prosecutor's office, of course. They declined to make someone available to participate in this conversation, but we did have the opportunity to speak with Mr. McNeil's wife Anita and also the Reverend William Barber, who is the president of the NAACP of North Carolina. That's where Mrs. McNeil now lives and he's become a strong advocate for Mr. McNeil and he's part of the team challenging his conviction. And I just want to play a short clip of what Reverend Barber had to say about the case. WILLIAM BARBER, II: Flip the facts over. Flip it over to this being a white father who went home just to protect his son and an armed black aggressor comes onto his property. I guarantee you the DA would not have prosecuted this and there would be outrage from every segment, every ultra-conservative segment in this country about this case. MARTIN: I have to assume that the prosecutor's office has been asked about this. I'd like to know what they say. COOK: Well, the prosecutor in Cobb County, which is where this happened, Pat Head, said race was not a factor. He said he has never done anything to suggest racism figures into his decision-making. I can't recall him being accused of this before, so I have nothing to base that on. MARTIN: If you're just joining us, we're talking about the conviction of John McNeil for murder. It's a case that's renewing questions about the so-called Stand Your Ground laws. Our guest is Rhonda Cook. She's been reporting on the story for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Reverend Barber also mentioned that one of the major red flags in this case for him is that no charges were brought against Mr. McNeil for several months. Any sense of why that is or what does the prosecutor's office say about that? COOK: Well, I asked them about it and, first of all, there was no pressure to bring the charge because Mr. McNeil was not in custody. Then, the DA's office told me that, because they expected a speedy trial demand, they wanted to have all their ducks in a row. It took some time to get the final police reports, but what took even longer was to get the toxicology report from the autopsy on Brian Epp and that toxicology report came in two months before the Grand Jury returned its first indictment and they indicted him first in August and then they re-indicted him in September. MARTIN: But we are told that the investigating officers in this case didn't even feel that charges should have been brought at all. So how - what was in the process by which charges were brought? Was it Mr. Epp's family? Were there other factors here? COOK: There was some communication from the family, specifically Kari Epp, who is the widow of Brian Epp, but the DA says that, while they consult with the families, they don't make their decisions based on what the family wants. Now, we know that's not true because it happens all the time with death cases. The district attorney, Pat Head, said, in this case, his decision to move ahead with a murder case was based solely on the investigation by his office. MARTIN: And what was the deciding factor in his case? COOK: He said it was murder. He said he didn't have to shoot him. He wasn't in danger. The knife that the boy said - the teenage boy said he had - was in Brian Epp's pocket and he said there was no immediate threat. He could have stayed in his car, as the 911 dispatcher asked him to do, and waited for the police. MARTIN: And another complicating factor here - as you know, we referred to the so-called Castle Doctrine, which, in some jurisdictions, is referred to, you know, as the Stand Your Ground law. It's not strictly similar. Another complicating factor here is that the Castle Doctrine was enacted in Georgia in 2006, which is after the incident occurred, but it was in effect at the time of the trial. And I wonder if you think - or was there any testimony to or did any of your reporting indicate whether that played any role in the outcome here. COOK: Well, it was codified in 2006. It's been part of common law in Georgia since before the 1900s, I believe, but the jurors that I spoke with said they discussed it and so some of them are comparing it to Trayvon Martin, even though Trayvon Martin happened long after this did. MARTIN: And what comparison are they making? COOK: Well, what it was to them was, again, you had a black man and a white man, although the races are reversed in who was shot and who shot the person, but they also draw the comparison because the dispatcher said, wait for the police. We'll take care of it. MARTIN: And, finally, I just want to ask you again. You alluded to this earlier. You have had the opportunity to interview some of the jurors in this case. What was the composition of the jury? As we know that the supporters of Mr. McNeil are saying that the prosecutor, who is white, is racially motivated and does not respect the self-defense rights of an African-American in the same way that he would if a person were white. What about the jurors? Was the jury racially mixed? COOK: Cobb County is a majority white county. The jury in this case was two African-American women and 10 whites. The two African-American women and one other white woman were the ones who held against the more serious charge of malice murder, which some call first-degree murder. One of the jurors I spoke with was one of those black women and she felt that, if there had been more blacks on the jury, it might have gone otherwise. But she felt there was a racial element to it. The other jurors that I spoke with who were white did not, so it's a perspective thing, I guess, here, but that is a majority white community there. MARTIN: So the defense is seeking a new trial and they've been granted the right for a new trial and we're not sure... COOK: Yes. MARTIN: ...yet what the prosecutor has - opposes this, but you're not sure exactly what stance the prosecutor's office will take in regard to which charges will be brought in the new trial. Is that correct? COOK: Correct. They could pursue it just as it is now, a murder charge with the other charges to it, or they could do something different or they could work out a plea. MARTIN: All right. Thank you very much. Rhonda Cook is a reporter with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. She joined us from member station Georgia Public Broadcasting in Atlanta, Georgia. Rhonda Cook, thank you so much for speaking with us. COOK: Happy to be there.

Lawrence Grobel
When I left Ghana, I spent eight months traveling the world before returning to New York, where I decided to start a new novel about a young man having adventures in Africa. I wrote hundreds of pages, entertaining myself along the way, but I got stuck for an ending.I began writing for magazines, and that soon became a full-time job. I interviewed Barbra Streisand, Luciano Pavarotti, Marlon Brando, Truman Capote, and Al Pacino, to name a few. Some of these interviews turned into books. It was heady stuff to see and hold these books. But they were all nonfiction. My dream was to write fiction.During these years, I learned about the National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellowship for fiction. I dusted off the first chapter of the African novel I never finished and sent it to them. Eight months later, I received a letter of congratulations and a check for $12,000. I celebrated by buying an expensive pipe made by W.O. Larsen, purveyors to the Royal Danish Court, and made a vow not to smoke it until I published a novel.I decided to write a novel about a middle-aged actor who had once reached the height of his profession only to fall mightily. He had two failed marriages, but he had kids from both whom he loved and wanted to stay connected with. I titled it Catch a Fallen Star.In 2007, I was invited to serve on the jury for the Plus Camerimage film festival in Lodz, Poland. Since a few of my nonfiction books had been published in Poland, I met with two of the publishers in Warsaw. In one of them, Marta Szelichowska of Axis Mundi, I found a publisher with whom I could talk, share ideas, and expand on dreams. She asked me what I was working on, and I mentioned that I had finished a novel but needed to rewrite it. She asked if she might see it.When I returned from Poland and finished revising it, I sent it to Szelichowska, merely looking for her feedback. She surprised me when she wrote, saying she would like to publish it.My own agent wouldnt read my book because he knew he would have a hard time finding a publisher. I can sell your nonfiction, he told me, but novels are tough, especially these days. Now here was someone who wanted to publish it my first novel, my lifes dream but in a language I couldnt understand. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/333 | {"url": "http://hub.aa.com/en/aw/aspiring-novelist-bobby-kennedy-martin-luther-king-jr-hermann-hesse?zonemode=page2", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "hub.aa.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:27:25Z", "digest": "sha1:J4RWNCWD6P5GNQ7WILTZCXHZEHHEQR7Q"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2400, 2400.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2400, 3532.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2400, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2400, 87.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2400, 0.99]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2400, 215.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2400, 0.40421456]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2400, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2400, 0.01156069]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2400, 0.01156069]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2400, 0.05363985]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2400, 0.16091954]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2400, 0.58974359]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2400, 4.43589744]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2400, 5.1062502]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2400, 429.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 53, 0.0], [53, 76, 0.0], [76, 97, 0.0], [97, 122, 0.0], [122, 138, 0.0], [138, 2400, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 53, 0.0], [53, 76, 0.0], [76, 97, 0.0], [97, 122, 0.0], [122, 138, 0.0], [138, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 20, 1.0], [20, 53, 4.0], [53, 76, 3.0], [76, 97, 2.0], [97, 122, 6.0], [122, 138, 2.0], [138, 2400, 411.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 53, 0.0], [53, 76, 0.0], [76, 97, 0.41176471], [97, 122, 0.2173913], [122, 138, 0.0], [138, 2400, 0.00408905]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 53, 0.0], [53, 76, 0.0], [76, 97, 0.0], [97, 122, 0.0], [122, 138, 0.0], [138, 2400, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 53, 0.12121212], [53, 76, 0.13043478], [76, 97, 0.0952381], [97, 122, 0.12], [122, 138, 0.125], [138, 2400, 0.03713528]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2400, 0.79222202]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2400, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2400, 0.46350092]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2400, 51.90920146]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2400, 15.0002915]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2400, -112.65820171]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2400, 27.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

Mary Latimer (nee Beattie)
It must be something in the air other than snow, sleet or rain that has brought photos of great great grandmothers to me! First, there was the discovery of a photo of Helen Gammie (nee Shand), my great great grandmother who had immigrated from Scotland to Saskatchewan, Canada in 1907. Later, Helen had successfully urged my great grandfather Alexander Shand Hadden to bring his family to Saskatchewan to help her manage the homesteads she possessed.Now, I have been presented thanks to Latimer cousin and co-researcher Robin of British Columbia with a photo of Mary Latimer (nee Beattie)(see photo to the right), Ellen's great great grandmother. Just as was the case for me with Helen Gammie's photo, Ellen had never seen a photo of her great great grandmother.Mary Beattie was born in Ireland around 1813 and she married Daniel Latimer when, I suspect, she was in her early 20's, probably around 1835. Between 1839 and 1853, Daniel and Mary had six children - 3 boys and 3 girls. Thomas the oldest was born in 1839, May was born about 1846, Annie Jane born in 1847, John born in 1849, Edward born in 1851, and finally, Sarah born about 1853.Some records suggest, though perhaps not conclusively, that Mary, as a widow, and four of her children immigrated from Ireland to then Canada West around 1864. May and Annie remained in Ireland and did not make the journey with the rest of their family. It might have been that they were already or were about to be married. The preponderance of evidence indicates that the family resided in County Fermanagh although there is less uniform support for the parish of residence. It appears it was either Enniskillen or Derryvullan.In Canada, Mary and her children settled in Seaforth, Huron County, Ontario. Oldest son Thomas was a carpenter by trade, married Charlotte Marriot in Seaforth in 1872, and then later moved his family west to Manitoba. John, the second oldest son, was a tailor by trade married Margaret Eliza Sills in Seaforth in 1871. John died at the tragically young age of 35 in 1884 in the nearby town of Wingham, Ontario. Edward 'Ned' Latimer, the youngest son (and Ellen's great grandfather) was a shoemaker by trade who married widow Theresa Delmage Sparling in 1872 in Seaforth.Mary appears to have stayed with son John based on the location of her death in March 1884 in Wingham, Ontario. When her son John joined her in death just a few months later and he was buried in the same plot in the Maitlandbank Cemetery in Seaforth, Ontario.

Saturday, Sep 22, 2012 - 3:00 AM CRUZ REYNOSO: SOWING THE SEEDS OF JUSTICE paints a portrait of a man touched by injustice as a child who dedicated his life to fighting discrimination and inequality as a lawyer, judge and teacher.

In Tunisia, Islamists have already risen to power, while in Egypt the Muslim Brotherhood has emerged as the strongest political force with women losing around 50 seats in the new parliament. D

Rosetta Stone Game Jam
ThemsAllTook
My employer, Rosetta Stone, is sponsoring a Game Jam this summer: http://rosettastonegamejam.com/
Participants will compete to build a game in 48 hours over the weekend of July 17th - 19th, 2009. The first place prize includes a MacBook Pro, 30-inch Cinema Display, three levels of Rosetta Stone software, and your game published on a Rosetta Stone webpage. Second place prizes include $500 and three levels of Rosetta Stone software. The event takes place in our office in Harrisonburg, VA. See the link above for more information.

1. Do we actually need to be at the physical location?
2. I am so in, and will join any sort of team that is formed on this forum, or anywhere else for that matter, in any capacity, as long as I don't actively dislike the team members. As you guys know, I can produce code, art, and music very quickly. I am capable of avoiding sleep. Unfortunately, to make this work, I would have to avoid making any games between now and July to ensure that I can keep momentum for the whole weekend.
My web site - Games, music, Python stuff
May 27, 2009 — 07:26 AM
I got some responses from the email contact:
- Yes, we need to actually go to VA
- They can reimburse travel expenses
- Games should "teach the user something"
Are we staying at their building or do we need to find our own "housing"?
Oh man oh man.... *checks calendar*.... that's the day before I go on vacation.
Aww, wait... we have to be there. I get it. It's a recruitment tool. Bummer!
Do they pay for transatlantic travel expenses too? Don't panic.
EvolPenguin Wrote:Are we staying at their building or do we need to find our own "housing"?
You'd probably be staying at the office or in adjacent housing the whole time. If not, I could always put you up at my house, which is a short walk away. FreakSoftware Wrote:Aww, wait... we have to be there. I get it. It's a recruitment tool. That's undoubtedly part of it, but I'm not sure it's the entire goal. From when I understand, there's also a PR component of it that won't necessarily require participants to be potential job applicants.

Well, it sounds fun. The prizes are quite surprisingly nice. (Like I've always said, it's the cookie at the end of the tunnel that makes me want to compete.) But, I don't think I can fly all the way across the country for two days for a contest, and then fly back and go on vacation the next day. Plus I wouldn't be able to be on Alex's non-existent-because-he's-an-employee team DoG
Awww, rules state its for US residents only. I guess they don't wanna play the H-1B game Don't panic.
There is now one iDG team: me, Kyle (CarbonX), and my friend Tim. We'll be using Python. (No, I didn't have to club them over the head to get that one. ) Would anyone else like to join?
It's very likely that someone will be mostly responsible for tools, art, and music, and the others will code. Right now, we could probably use that person the most, rather than coders, but I don't think we're picky.

Awesome! Looking forward to meeting you guys! Also, I forwarded a link to this thread and a summary of the feedback I've heard about the contest so far to the person organizing it. She tells me there will be a new revision of the rules posted to the site this Tuesday to clarify some of the things that weren't clear enough in the current language, so look for it then.
I just ensnared Will Hogben, so now we are four! We hope to make a practice game between now and July. I'll keep you posted.

I have just been informed that the contest is being pushed back to January.

Speaker bio: Ophelia Eglène holds an MA in European studies from the Institut des Hautes Etudes Européennes at the Université Robert Schuman in Strasbourg, France and a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University at Albany, State University of New York. She did her postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University. Ophelia Eglène’s teaching interests include European integration, International Political Economy, and French politics. She teaches in the Political Science Department and the French Department at Middlebury College. Her research interests are the European Economic and Monetary Union, EU environmental policy, and the transatlantic relations. She is the author of Banking on Sterling: Britain’s Independence from the Eurozone which was published in 2011 by Rowman & Littlefield. She is currently a visiting scholar at the European Union Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her Scholar-in-Residence position is supported in part through an EU Center of Excellence grant from the European Union.
Abstract: During the Maastricht Treaty negotiations in the early 1990s, the members of the European Union committed to launching the euro at the turn of the century which meant abolishing their national currencies and losing sovereignty in monetary policy. Britain had a more cautious attitude and negotiated an opt-out which would grant the UK the freedom to decide if and when to join the euro zone. Ophelia Eglene will present the empirical findings of her book Banking on Sterling: Britain’s Independence from the Eurozone, which show that the conflicting interests of the business and financial sectors had an impact on the deliberations of the British government on whether to adopt the single currency. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/343 | {"url": "http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/596?minCal=201210&cal=20121122skinId=1&eventId=24484346&pos=0", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "illinois.edu", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:50:58Z", "digest": "sha1:WE2OTLAKCUAHFZM3HNDLMFXHU7UWYVS3"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2198, 2198.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2198, 3387.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2198, 10.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2198, 67.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2198, 0.91]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2198, 172.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2198, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2198, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2198, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2198, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2198, 0.31662269]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2198, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2198, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2198, 0.06311208]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2198, 0.06311208]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2198, 0.06311208]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2198, 0.06311208]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2198, 0.06311208]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2198, 0.03536453]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2198, 0.03101197]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2198, 0.02829162]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2198, 0.01846966]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2198, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2198, 0.13192612]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2198, 0.56656347]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2198, 5.69040248]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2198, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2198, 4.7660959]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2198, 323.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 25, 0.0], [25, 160, 0.0], [160, 221, 0.0], [221, 239, 0.0], [239, 313, 0.0], [313, 343, 0.0], [343, 371, 0.0], [371, 421, 0.0], [421, 1489, 1.0], [1489, 2198, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 25, 0.0], [25, 160, 0.0], [160, 221, 0.0], [221, 239, 0.0], [239, 313, 0.0], [313, 343, 0.0], [343, 371, 0.0], [371, 421, 0.0], [421, 1489, 0.0], [1489, 2198, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 25, 2.0], [25, 160, 19.0], [160, 221, 6.0], [221, 239, 4.0], [239, 313, 11.0], [313, 343, 4.0], [343, 371, 2.0], [371, 421, 6.0], [421, 1489, 156.0], [1489, 2198, 113.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 25, 0.0], [25, 160, 0.0], [160, 221, 0.0], [221, 239, 0.375], [239, 313, 0.11267606], [313, 343, 0.0], [343, 371, 0.0], [371, 421, 0.0], [421, 1489, 0.00381679], [1489, 2198, 0.00570613]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 25, 0.0], [25, 160, 0.0], [160, 221, 0.0], [221, 239, 0.0], [239, 313, 0.0], [313, 343, 0.0], [343, 371, 0.0], [371, 421, 0.0], [421, 1489, 0.0], [1489, 2198, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 25, 0.08], [25, 160, 0.13333333], [160, 221, 0.1147541], [221, 239, 0.11111111], [239, 313, 0.10810811], [313, 343, 0.13333333], [343, 371, 0.07142857], [371, 421, 0.12], [421, 1489, 0.07303371], [1489, 2198, 0.02397743]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2198, 0.11410338]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2198, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2198, 0.20667583]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2198, -111.15828696]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2198, -4.81542244]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2198, 36.13252045]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2198, 14.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

Review: 'The Hunger Games' on DVD and Blu-ray
Chris Nashawaty

Image Credit: Murray Close Comments + The temptation to pat yourself on the back after making a movie that grossed $650 million worldwide must be overwhelming. At least, that’s the impression you get watching the new two-disc set of The Hunger Games (2012, PG-13, 2 hrs., 22 mins.) Related
The Hunger Games: See Full Coverage As anyone who’s seen the teen blood-sport adventure knows, director Gary Ross and his trio of young stars (Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth) did a pretty remarkable job of staying true to the spirit of Suzanne Collins’ best-selling novel and delivering the goods without dumbing things down. They gave the book’s rabid fan base exactly what they wanted — at least within the parameters of a relatively gore-free PG-13 rating. So bravo to them. We can’t wait for next year’s sequel, Catching Fire.
That said, the more than three hours of extras left me a little… hungry. What should be the meatiest featurette — an eight-part making-of doc that’s set up to walk us through the filmmaking process from script to casting to stunt training to postproduction — turns out to be a missed opportunity. Instead of going into detail about what pieces of Collins’ novel were cut for the big-screen adaptation and why (something readers would no doubt love to hear), there are a lot of interviews with studio execs and crew members who are more interested in giving air-kissing compliments to one another than in dishing up any real behind-the-curtain intel. If you want to know what a high-stakes pressure cooker it must have been every day trying to launch a beloved book into a successful Hollywood film franchise — and placing that wager on the backs of a bunch of unproven stars — you won’t find that here. If, on the other hand, a testimonial from Donald Sutherland (who plays Panem’s totalitarian President Snow) about how the script reminded him of Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory interests you, you’re in luck.
The only segments really worth tuning into are a longer version of the movie’s clever propaganda film-within-a-film and an all too brief featurette called “Preparing for the Games: A Director’s Process.” In that chapter, Ross walks us through a couple of scenes from the movie, splitting the screen into three parts. He simultaneously shows us the shooting script, the cool storyboards, and what we ended up seeing in theaters. It’s fascinating stuff for film nerds, offering a real sense of the nuts and bolts of how movies get made. Sadly, it’s only on the Blu-ray version and it’s only three minutes long. The movie: A–; the extras: B–

2015 TE Alize Jones working to stay on top September, 9, 2013
PM PT
By Blair Angulo | ESPN.com
MISSION VIEJO, Calif. -- As one of the nation’s top recruits in the 2015 class, ESPN Junior 300 tight end Alize Jones (Las Vegas/Bishop Gorman) has garnered considerable attention early in the process.
But just because the accolades began to arrive some two years before his national signing day doesn’t mean Jones is ready to speed up his approach.
“It’s something different and I’m having fun with it,” Jones said Friday following a thrilling double-overtime victory against Rancho Santa Margarita (Calif.) Catholic. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing. I’ve talked to a bunch of coaches. I’m really enjoying it. They’re all great guys.”

Home > Ngugi wa Thiong'o Shares His Art Photo by Kevin MatthewsNgugi wa Thiong'o Shares His ArtOn a book tour for his English translation of 'Wizard of the Crow,' the Kenyan novelist and playwright teaches a UCLA audience about dictators, globalization, and 'the unity behind creation.'By Kevin Matthews Senior WriterPublished: Monday, November 06, 2006The Ruler would be the daily recipient of God's advice, resulting in a rapid growth of Aburiria to heights never before dreamt by humans."Monolinguism is a recipe for the strangulation of the cultural life of a people," Ngugi wa Thiong'o told about 50 listeners at a reading and book signing on campus Nov. 1, 2006. The book tour marks the English publication of Ngugi's Wizard of the Crow, his first novel in two decades and his own translation from the Gikuyu (Murogi wa Kagogo, 2004–). He read passages from the novel, including one that wrings comedy out of both the pretensions of state power and Kenyans' varying competencies in their mother tongues, the lingua franca of Swahili, and the colonists' English, "the language of education and administration." An exile and former political prisoner remembered in Kenya for, among other things, transforming literary studies at the University of Nairobi—where the Department of English he chaired is now the Department of Literature—Ngugi directs the International Center for Writing and Translation at UC-Irvine. His fictional and dramatic works date from the 1960s in English and the 1970s in Gikuyu. On Wednesday afternoon, he was introduced by his one-time student Dominic Thomas, a UCLA specialist in post-colonial African literature, as "the African writer who should have been awarded the Nobel Prize, before [Wole] Soyinka and [Naguib] Mahfouz, and certainly before [Nadine] Gordimer and [J. M.] Coetzee." The event was sponsored by the UCLA African Studies Center, the Departments of Comparative Literature and of French and Francophone Studies (chaired by Thomas), and the Tusome Book Club. A "global epic from Africa" (Ngugi's label) "too aggrieved and grim to be called satire" (John Updike in a review), the novel is set in the imaginary Free Republic of Aburiria, whose autocratic Ruler demands a tribute from his people to exceed previous wonders of the world and the failure at biblical Babel. Aburiria would now do what the Israelites could not do: raise a building to the very gates of Heaven so that the Ruler could call on God daily to say good morning or good evening or simply how was your day today, God? The Ruler would be the daily recipient of God's advice, resulting in a rapid growth of Aburiria to heights never before dreamt by humans. The entire project, Heavenscrape or simply Marching to Heaven, would be run by a National Building Committee, the chair of which would be announced in good time.
Prompted by a questioner, Ngugi did not object to the use of "magic realism" to describe his novel. However, he immediately turned to Gikuyu and other folkloric, myth-making traditions to explain his transformations of the fantastic into the commonplace.
Imagination, Ngugi told the audience, resides at the core of human striving and reasoned governance. "And what is the food of imagination? … Even people who lived in the caves: art was part of their lives." And what is art? The "task" of "any literature" and of painters "is being able to see the magic in the ordinary," he said. In particular, "what the folkloric tradition is doing is recognizing the oneness, the unity behind creation." When Ovid wrote on change, Ngugi said, his Latin epic gestured beyond metamorphoses to "the connection that there is between" animals, plants, mortals, the immortal, and things. All of this helps to explain Ngugi's comment on Wednesday that people who pollute the environment are polluting what is fundamentally human, though in the immediate context he was expressing ideas about romantic love. Setting up for a long passage, Ngugi explained that dictators are "absurd figures," but "at the same time the absurdity meant blood flowing in the countries in which they ruled."African Studies Center

Celebrating 40 years of friendship and service [1]
By Hung Tran
A group of international students and friends celebrate the 35th anniversary of Friends of International Students in 2006. It was during a brief phone call when Maria Kummer, Friends of International Students (FIS) board member, let Olayinka Oladimeji, a doctoral student in the College of Pharmacy at the University of Iowa, know that she was praying for her family back home in Nigeria because of an upsurge in violence.
Although it was a seemingly small gesture, it was later revealed to Kummer that her words meant a lot to Oladimeji, solidifying a connection to an extended family here in Iowa City. This relationship helped Oladimeji alleviate some of the stresses stemming from the violence that threatened her family as well the college workload.
In 2009, Kummer’s sincerity was realized when she was invited to attend Oladimeji’s wedding.
“We can never be too busy,” Kummer said. “Even very brief attention matters. If you care about a person, then it matters.”
When the time permits, Kummer’s involvement with FIS expands beyond phone calls to a variety of activities, ranging from coffee and tea, music shows, or Kernels baseball games, but especially during Thanksgiving when Kummer and her husband Kevin invite students into their home to celebrate the American holiday.
Among the many other Iowa City volunteers, Kummer’s commitment to the international community will be one of the reasons why FIS will be celebrating its 40th anniversary with the Office of International Education and Services (OIES) on Tuesday, Nov.15, as part of International Education Week. The event will be held from 7-8:30 p.m. in the University Capitol Centre, Room 1117.
Friends of International Students prepares to march in the UI Homecoming parade. In 1971, Stephen Arum became the first director of OIES. He had a long-term vision for the university of creating an integrated, multipurpose international education office to help unify Iowa City and the growing international enrollment.
One aspect of this mission was host family programs that had already existed in other university communities in the U.S.
Arum encouraged the development of a similar program in Iowa City in response to two interests — foreign students who wanted to meet local families to learn about American culture, and local families who wanted to make international friends and learn about their differing ways of life.
However, at the time, Arum also was in the ambitious process of initiating various programs, such as the International Classroom Journey, the Council for International Visitors to Iowa Cities, and the Iowa City Foreign Relations Council, all with only a graduate assistant, a secretary, and himself.
With his hands full, Arum looked to two community volunteers, an American and a foreign student, who agreed to work on the project , and the International Host Family Program (IHFP) was established in the fall of 1971.
Arum recalls the early days of the program, specifically during an international desserts fundraiser at the house of former UI President William Boyd and his wife Susan. During this event, foreign students taught their host families how to make their home countries’ desserts and then sold them at the president’s house.
“This combined fundraising and lots of interaction between the American host families and the foreign students,” Arum said.
This flourishing interaction between American host families and the foreign students carried on even after the two initial volunteers left Iowa City. In their absence, volunteer after volunteer took on the vital responsibilities.
Under Margaret Nowysz’s leadership, IHFP expanded its members and activities. It included a spring reception to honor graduating foreign students and neighborhood gatherings for families and students.
In 1976, IHFP became a more formalized program with a board of community volunteers to help recruit, match students and families, and organize activities.
Needless to say, the University of Iowa has changed significantly since then.
Over 3,300 international students now walk daily through campus. OIES merged with the Center for International and Comparative Studies (CICS) and other units to become International Programs. The International Host Family Program has now become Friends of International Students (FIS). However, FIS’s purpose and reasons for success remain consistent even after forty years.
FIS has been sustained through years of enduring leadership that has passed from Arum to the two initial volunteers, Nowysz, and now to Ken Royar, current FIS president.
Today, Royar and the numerous community volunteers continue to embody grass-roots diplomacy as they extend the hand of welcome and friendship to UI international students and at the same time expand local knowledge of world cultures.
“I feel this program is too vital to the university, the students, and the people of the Iowa City area to be leaderless,” Royar said. “It has been a win-win situation for both friend and student as the world barriers have been dropped and new relations forged.”

Nas Hedron
Editor In Chief: Roberto Mendes (Portugal)
I’m a 24 years old Portuguese Trainee Lawyer with a tremendous passion for Speculative Fiction. I have created a Portuguese e-zine called “Correio do Fantástico” in 2008 and edited two Portuguese fanzines/magazines called “Dagon” and “Conto Fantástico”. I also edited “Vollüspa”, a recent anthology of Portuguese Speculative Fiction featuring 15 authors.
Fiction Editor: Ricardo Loureiro (Portugal)
So, a phone call later and I was left with the dreaded mission of writing a bio and, worse, pick a photo of me.
Well, I wouldn’t go so far as saying that along with watching paint dry and grass grow that may well be the most boring stuff anyone could ask of me but it surely it’s not far away from being that.
Usually I take out my satirical hat and promptly make something up along the lines of being someone up to no good. Strangely for this project I felt that was not the right aproach and after a lot of brainstorming with me and myself I came up with the solution. Incredibly I decided to play it safe and, for once, tell the truth. Or at least as near to the truth as anyone will ever get from me. So, without further ado here it is.
Born in the year of the Monkey, anyone who knows me can surely atest to the fact that from all the animals monkey is the most suitable to describe me. Always swinging from tree to tree, always looking for another prank, always making fun of everything and making a habit of taking everything in superficially as possible.
Well that describes me. As much as the iceberg we see above the waters describes the real iceberg beneath those same waters.
Because, you see, being a cynical, satirical, incredibly nauseating son of a bitch is only a third of what I am. The other two thirds you’ll have to discover through my work and what better place to judge it than right here at ISF?

Head Designers: Rafael Mendes (Portugal)
Hi my name is Rafael Mendes, also known as Designed Head. I’m Portuguese and I’m 16 years old. I’ve been working as a freelance Digital Artist for 5 years now and I am about to graduate as a Digital Artist student. I love all about design, 3d models and cinematography. I have worked with Roberto in many projects, such as “Dagon Magazine”, “Vollüspa – Anthology of Portuguese Speculative Fiction”, “Conto Fantástico Magazine” and more. I’m happy to be invited to this project and I will surely give my best to bring success to it.
João Paulo Sinal (Portugal)
I’m a 29 year old Communication Designer student and a corporal at the Portuguese Air Force. I was in the start team of “Correio do Fantástico” with Roberto Mendes but never got really into the Project due to massive life changing events. I like photography, digital painting and anything that relates with new Technologies. I’m very curious about everything and I’m a self teaching student in terms of software and hardware. Roberto invited me for this new Project and, although I’m dead with work from the degree, I’m going to do everything I can to contribute to the success of his new project.
Magazine Designer: Ana Ferreira (Portugal)
Ana Ferreira (also known around the internet as Adeselna Davies), is a Portuguese, English and German teacher that started in the magazine business as a slush reader for the Portuguese webzine “Nanozine”. Eventually she took over the design section and is now preparing an edition dedicated to Steampunk. Besides designing, Ana writes mostly short-fiction as a hobby and keeps the tradition of starting stories, but refuses to finish them. She maintains her blog “Illusionary Pleasure” dedicated to book reviews of every genre written in Portuguese. As inspiration, a lesbian Swiss writer Annemarie Schwarzenbach is always mentioned, as well as the Pre-Raphaelite and German expressionism period.
Slush Readers: Ana Cristina Rodrigues (Brazil)
[●]
Ana Raquel (Portugal)
I’m Ana Raquel (or Tomoyo, how some may know me from the Web) and I’m 21 years old. I have a degree in Education, but didn’t fit in that area so I’m currently studying Communicational Science. My first contact with the magazine world was with “Waribashi”, a Portuguese e-zine about Japanese culture (with which I’m completely passionate about). I wrote articles and helped in the organization.
I love reading, specially the Fantastic and Historical Romance, but I’m not very good at writing (seeing as I never seem to be able to finish any story I start).
Slush Reader and Proofreader: Diana Pinguicha (Portugal)
I was born in Lisbon, Portugal on the 6th of May 1989, but lived in Estremoz for the next eighteen years. I moved to Lisbon in 2007 so that I could take Computer Engineering classes at Instituto Superior Técnico and I have been there ever since. I live with my Persian and Maine Coon cats, Sushi and Jubas, who’re the cutest kitties in the world!
Editor of the Official Facebook Page: Alexandra Rolo (Portugal)
Alexandra Rolo was born in the great year of 89, in Lisbon and is a history college student that always loved to try new things, to write poetry and, more recently, to write short stories. She is a bookworm and a blogger also known as Pantapuff. She was always curious about social networks, and manages several Facebook accounts, she also collaborates with a few other blogs besides her own. She might be the one who caused the death of some blogs, but, so far, there aren’t any proofs of that. She is one of the founders of a Portuguese Webzine (Nanozine) and the author of a couple of poetry books. Usually she can be seen with phones in her ears and her kindle in one hand while the other has her cell phone, that one day might be seen flying out of some window.
Pod Cast Director: Joana Fernandes (Portugal)
Since I was born, 27 years ago, I’ve been passionated by literature. Now I decided to use my professional skills spreading the work of unknown authors. I studied journalism and worked on a national Radio for a short time. Now, I’m Project Coordinator on a Communication and Events Agency. I’m currently working on a book that should be realeased by the end of this year and that I wish can be a very personal tourist guide of Rio de Janeiro.

Study: Easy Way to Detect Depression in Cancer Patients by William White | September 24, 2013 12:55 pm
A study has found that a two question survey[2] can correctly detect depression in cancer patients.
The two question survey asks patients if they have felt down, depressed or hopeless and if they have experienced little interest or pleasure in doing things. The two question can be answered four different ways: not at all, several days, more than half the days and nearly every day. Each answer has a point value that is used to determine if a cancer patient is depressed. The points range from zero for the not at all answer to three for the nearly everyday answer. The test of this survey included 455 cancer patients at 37 center in the United States. The study also found that 78% of radiation therapy centers regularly screen for depression and that 68% of radiation therapy centers offer mental health services, reports WebMD.

She is annoyed by the constant demands from her husband’s father for financial support even though he is able to work and earn a living
arfresru
I want to know if it is right to support my husbands parents even though we both make $3000 a month. We have 2 daughters and owe $3600 debt. I dont know if there is a rule of having money for emergency, but our surplus after deductions is $1000. I am a female and make $1500. My husband makes$1500. Now, consider he is supposed to support me and my daughters without my salary although I still put it in the house. His father is 43 and lives in europe. They say we have to support them. He has 2 other sons (22,25years old), one is married and my husbands father has 2 twin daughters (14 years old). They do not think to save money for winter, because that's how they live their. They dont work winter because there is no work. His father smokes 3 packs a day. His mother and all of them want to have things or buy make up and stuff. Too modest. If i did that, i would not have money for rent too. I dont buy make up and etc. They pay rent $170 dollars a month. They live in an apartment. They recently turned down a job beause they dont want to work 7 days a week baking bread at a bakery which pays 300 euros. That is a good salary there. Overall, My question is, Is it right or wrong to support HIS parents only, although they are making bad decisions and are capable of working? His parents only, father and mother, others not. the quran says to make your parents happy? I am not sure if I have to support them even though they are still ok to work. They just dont want to work. They do construction during summer and dont want to work anything else. I dont own a house, I want to buy a house for my kids, if i support them then i cant do anything. I live in an apartment.
Praise be to Allah.

Posted by: Laura | March 20, 2012 For Women’s History Month: Barbara Forker, Women’s Physical Education, and Title IX
Dr. Forker (at left) teaching a golf course February 19, 1957 (photograph from the Barbara Ellen Forker Papers, RS 10-7-13, box 25, folder 1).
Did you know that the first head of the combined men’s and women’s physical education department (now kinesiology) at Iowa State was a woman, Professor Barbara Ellen Forker? Dr. Forker was a well respected advocate for women’s physical education throughout her career, and the list of her achievements here at Iowa State and nationally is quite impressive. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the passage of Title IX on June 23, 1972. With Title IX’s 40th anniversary approaching, Dr. Forker instantly sprang to mind as a wonderful faculty member to highlight for this year’s Women’s History Month.
Dr. Forker in 1955 (photograph from University Photograph Collection, 10-7-A, box 782). Wondering what books are on those shelves? The titles include the expected physical education related books such as Physiology of Muscular Exercise but include others such as Essentials of Reading German, Roget’s Thesaurus, Giant, and The Show Must Go On.
After teaching high school and grade school physical education in her home state of Michigan, Dr. Forker served 22 months in Europe with the American Red Cross during World War II. Dr. Forker began her career at Iowa State College (now University) in 1948, eventually becoming Head of the Women’s Physical Education Department (1958-1974). When the men’s and women’s physical education department were combined to create the Department of Physical Education, Dr. Forker became the first Head (1974-1986). She contributed to the creation, in 1960, of a physical education major for women here at Iowa State. Dr. Forker was an important part of student groups here on campus, including advisor for NAIADS (synchronized swimming) and “I” Fraternity (honorary for outstanding women athletes). In addition, she taught tennis, golf, swimming, badminton, and bowling.
Dr. Forker (second from left) with other physical education staff, taken around 1950. From left to right: Jane Carswell, Barbara Forker, Virginia Taylor, Germaine Guiot, Harriet Watts, Madge Bowers (photograph from Barbara Ellen Forker Papers, RS 10-7-13, box 25, folder 1).
In addition to her achievements listed above, Dr. Forker also worked with the United States Olympics (1975-1984). President Gerald Ford appointed Dr. Forker as a member of the President’s Commission on Olympic Sports (1975-1977). She also was a United States Delegate in the Second Educationists Session at the International Olympic Academy, in Olympia, Greece (1977), member (1980-1984) of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) Executive Board and the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) Education Council, and Chairman (1984) of the United States Olympic Committee Symposium at the Pre-Olympic Scientific Congress in Eugene, Oregon.
Passed on June 23, 1972, Title IX requires (with a few exceptions) gender equity in education programs and activities receiving federal funding (the contents of the law can be found here). Not surprisingly, Forker was concerned about the implementation of Title IX here at Iowa State. Her papers (Barbara Ellen Forker Papers, RS 10-7-13) contain a written piece detailing reactions she received from a variety of Iowa State administrators during the early years of Title IX. In her words, she sought to receive these reactions “Because I have been frustrated on many occasions to get the show on the road at my university, I decided this would be a good opportunity to find out just exactly what selected members of the administration think has happened as a result of the first printing of Title IX and how do they foresee the future…” This document is now available online.
In addition, we recently made available a couple speeches by Dr. Forker: “The Government and Amateur Sports” and “Amateur Sports and the Federal Government”. Very similar in content, these speeches describe the establishment, background, and issues to be addressed by the President’s Commission on Olympic Sports (Dr. Forker was one of the 14 members appointed by the President to be on this commission).
In 1997, Iowa State University renamed the Physical Education for Women (PEW) Building the Barbara E. Forker Building in her honor. Forker is pictured above at the dedication.
As is the case with almost all of our collections, this blog post can only give you a very brief window into the life and work of Barbara Forker. Many of the other documents within the collection, in addition to those described above, will provide a glimpse into both the difficulties and accomplishments of a leader in women’s physical education during the 20th century. If you would like to learn more, please take a look at the finding aid/collection description for the Barbara Ellen Forker Papers. Interested in taking a look at some of the contents of the collection? Then please come on up to the 4th floor of Parks Library and visit the Special Collections Department (open M-F, 9-4)!
Interested in learning more about women’s history here at Iowa State? A selection of our collections are listed in our Women’s Collections Subject Guide. We also have a few archival materials available online through Scribd (such as the War Training for Women at Iowa State College) and Digital Collections. In addition, we contributed images of Carrie Chapman Catt’s suffrage buttons (the finding aid to her papers, RS 21/7/3, is located here) to the Women’s Suffrage in Iowa Digital Collection.

Marlins roster moves
Before facing the Braves on Thursday night, the Marlins made an assortment of roster moves.
The team recalled left-hander Taylor Tankersley and right-hander Jay Buente from Triple-A New Orleans. Infielder Mike Lamb had his contract selected from New Orleans. The veteran, who opened the season with the club, returns for his second stint. He becomes a left-handed bat off the bench.
The Marlins also placed lefty reliever Renyel Pinto on the 15-day disabled list with a left hip strain.
Tankersley joins Dan Meyer as the lefties working out of the pen. The former first-round pick in 2004 is in the big leagues for the first time since July of 2008. He missed all of last year after undergoing stress fracture elbow surgery.
Tankersley appeared in 20 games with New Orleans. In 19 1/3 innings, he struck out 17 and walked six.
Buente, like Tankersley, was in big league camp with the Marlins. At New Orleans, the right-hander struck out 35 in 26 2/3 innings, but he has walked 17.
Badenhop has struggled in May. The right-hander, who suffered the loss on Wednesday, has given up at least one run in six of his seven appearances in May.
Lamb had been playing third base at New Orleans. He was 10-for-40 (.250) with the Zephyrs.
After Wednesday’s game, the Marlins optioned outfielder Bryan Petersen to Triple-A.

A dole for former presidents
By Jules Witcover ([email protected])
Save | WASHINGTON - In this era of huge federal debt and fiscal dysfunction, it's less than heartening to learn from the Congressional Research Service that the nation's four living former chief executives got a total of $3.7 million in pensions and operating expenses last year from Uncle Sam, aka the American taxpayer. The largesse is provided under the terms of the Former Presidents Act, which Congress passed in 1958 to ease presidents back into private life and enable them to handle mail, travel and other obligations they carried with them into retirement. Each is entitled to an annual pension of $200,000, and the bulk of the rest of the expenses are incurred keeping in touch with public demands. In 2012, the largest allocation went to the most recently departed president, George W. Bush, to the tune of more than $1.3 million. That high cost has been attributed to the heavy expense of transition to private life, although in his case that was four years ago. The others' payouts included: Bill Clinton, just under $1 million; George H.W. Bush, nearly $850,000; and Jimmy Carter, about $500,000. Article Photos

In a federal budget that runs into the trillions, these amounts may seem like chump change. But they go to men who have done pretty well on their own, by virtue of family wealth or by cashing in on their resumes. The Bushes are in the first category. Clinton has made a personal fortune in speech-making, and Carter has done well as an author, in addition to heading the Carter Center in Atlanta for the advancement of world peace, financed by donations. The Former Presidents Act, according to the Congressional Research Service, was born of congressional concern over the financial straits of President Harry Truman, the one-time haberdasher, after he left office in 1953. At that time, there was no financial provision for retiring presidents. Nearly half a century earlier, in 1912, multimillionaire industrialist Andrew Carnegie proposed setting up an annual pension of $25,000 for retired presidents, but members of Congress decided it would be inappropriate for a private donor to provide the money. Nothing happened until 1955, when a public funding bill was proposed, and then enacted by Congress in 1958. The law also provides taxpayer money through a Presidential Transition Act that finances the shutdown expenses of the offices of retiring presidents and vice presidents for seven months after they leave office. In addition, and not included in the payout to former presidents made public, are undisclosed taxpayer amounts for Secret Service protection for all former presidents, their spouses and minor children. Considering the existing public hostility toward high-level officeholders and the gun mayhem of the current era, this precaution is clearly warranted. Retiring presidents and their immediate family members also are entitled to free medical care at military hospitals, and presidential widows get $20,000 annual pensions as well. Public funds also maintain the official presidential libraries run by the National Archives and Research Administration, including the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in California. The latter was opened and financed by private funds until it was taken over by the NARA after agreement to modify certain exhibits, including a controversial one on the Watergate scandal that led to Nixon's resignation in 1974. After Nixon left office, the Justice Department ruled that he remained eligible for the lifetime pension, on grounds "a person who has been president, is not currently president, and who has not been removed from office pursuant to impeachment and conviction in the Senate ... clearly meets the statutory definition of a former president." This ruling held, despite the fact that Nixon's resignation occurred after key congressional Republicans told him his impeachment was certain if he did not step down. The whole matter of providing financial assistance and security to former presidents and their families might not be particularly jarring to many Americans were it not for the current financial turmoil, the relatively low public standing of former presidents in opinion polls, and the sharp partisan divide in the country. Also, going back at least to Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, some former presidents have found such highly lucrative opportunities in speeches and corporate board positions in their retirements that the continued taxpayer assistance to them may seem unnecessary, or at least excessive. - Jules Witcover's latest book is "Joe Biden: A Life of Trial and Redemption" (William Morrow).

The Role of Coherent Resonancein Human Affairs
Part Two - Affairs of Consciousness
E. F. Block January 2011
Every person has a physical body that is made up of carefully acquired, absorbed and incorporated elements and molecules that are ultimately derived from the crust of the Earth or the atmosphere that enshrouds the Earth. The interstitial fluid "sea" that encompasses the individual cells of your body reflects that of the Oceans of the Earth. The acquisition of compounds from the surrounding environment into the inner "sea" seems to be the basis of remaining alive. The means of actively discovering these compounds seems to be the role of a relatively primitive type of activity known as feeding behavior. Any type of behavior means a directed choice of action, no matter on what the scale of the organic entity involved. What is the means that your body uses to recognize and incorporate matter into the physical structure of the body? This is a rather complicated interaction of the various organ systems of the body. Information about the environment is required in order to eventually make a directed choice of action. The means by which the human primate animal gathers information about the environment is by use of the 5 senses and the use of what is called "intuition". Once the food has been located, it is necessary to eat, digest, assimilate and ignore components of that food. This is the normal digestive process. Do you know the difference between what your body needs and what your ego wants in regard to food choices? You really are what you eat! Thus, it may be said that there are at least 2 aspects to food choices, what is needed to keep body and soul together and what is desired for ego choices. The point to all of this is that there are very conscious aspects to feeding behavior and also very unconscious aspects to feeding behavior. This work addresses the difference between these 2 aspects.
Conceptualization As A Process
On the conscious level, in humans, information and concepts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concept) are passed on via language. A concept is a general notion or idea concerning a particular subject. It is an idea of something that is formed by mentally combining all its characteristics or particulars - a construct. It is also a directly conceived or intuited object of thought.
Language is the use of vocal sound to convey concepts. Written language is an abstract extension of vocalization, a type of code (ordered sequence of symbols) if you will. One definition of information is an ordered sequence of symbols. Usually, a concept has a component of information. Information as a concept itself, however, has many meanings. Moreover, the concept of information is closely related to notions of constraint, communication, control, data, form, instruction, knowledge, meaning, mental stimulus, pattern, perception, and representation. Conceptualization is a characteristic of the human consciousness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_theories_of_consciousness). Consciousness has a fractal dimension to it that extends from the individual cell and cellular architecture to the entire physical body and the human body-field (HBF). We live in a fractal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal) and scalar (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/scalar) universe.
In order to form a concept one needs several processes to occur and then come together in a manner that allows for the expression of a representational picture, so to say, of cause and effect. Aspects of observation, perception, awareness, pattern recognition and ego involvement are involved in the formation of a concept. A concept is thus very much like an unformalized hypothesis. The scientific method as a process was developed to remove ego involvement and bias from the testing of hypotheses as a formal statement of a concept.
Those people in the past that have given thought to the workings of the universe developed their own individual concepts according to the socialization received as children, much like all people do today. The codification of concepts for the purpose of passing knowledge and understanding to succeeding generations has been a relatively recent phenomenon. Previously, all conceptualization was passed down orally. Thus the likelihood of personal bias to enter the conceptualization process during transmission. This is the reason that the scientific method was developed. The use of the scientific method reduces the possibility of bias. Notice that I stated "reduced" and not eliminated. The scientific method is a tool, and thus subject to misuse like any other tool.
Our progenitors were keen observers by necessity! Being in tune (resonance) with one's living environment ensures survival. All learning is done through the transmission of experience, the collection and use of empirical (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical) data and all forms of shared experience as socialization. Scientists are people that have had special training in the use of the scientific method to conduct research. There are "good" scientists, there are "mediocre" scientists and there are "bad" scientists. There are even "evil" scientists. Scientists are people, subject to the foibles of gross egotism like anyone else!
Before the use of the scientific method in the middle-ages (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Ages), the development of modern bodies of scientific knowledge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science) and the role of governments and corporations in the funding of modern research (http://blog.ted.com/2009/01/05/the_science_of_1/), most research was done by already wealthy persons. There are more scientists living today than all the past scientists put together. This is why the pace of scientific endeavor has accelerated in modern times.
Please remember that past workers in forming concepts about our universe were very few, lacked adequate libraries and lived relatively short lives. The skills entailed in research were just as evident then as they are today. These persons were also subject to the political issues of the times, as evidenced by the persecution of Galileo by the tyrants of the roman catholic church, to support their dogma. This type of persecution still exists today in the form of the control of hiring in the centers of higher learning and the dispensing of research funding. To be an ignorant person means to lack knowledge concerning a particular subject, perhaps by not paying enough attention to it (ignoring it). To be stupid means that one is not at all capable of learning, for whatever reason. A true scientist may be ignorant but hopefully not stupid. However, today many scientists seem to be truly stupid and not just ignorant! This fact is mainly due to the political considerations of our society and the negative aspects of peer pressure.
The "Body Electric"
The physical body of a person has a form that is determined by hereditary units called genes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetics). Genes are made up of units of DNA that reside in larger units called chromosomes. Chromosomes are housed within the nucleus of every individual cell of the body. Each cell of the body seems to have a specific role within the greater whole. Groups of cells form a tissue. Tissues seem to have cycles of activity that reflect the activity of the individual cells that make up the tissue. These cycles of cell activity are tied to cycles of regulatory RNA activity that leads to different sets of DNA transcription. Sets of DNA transcription lead to enzyme system formation. The formation of different enzyme systems through time subsequently accounts for the differences in cellular activity through time. These activities are cyclic in nature and reflect the broader aspects of the environment at large. Life and survivability are tied to being able to respond to the rhythmic fluctuations in environmental conditions.
Gene regulation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_gene_expression) seems to be divided into 2 distinct general groupings. The first is the classical 1 gene-1 enzyme group that was expanded to include genes that code for structure (cellular architecture and gross physical anatomy) and metabolism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_gene_expression). The second grouping is that for genes that code for DNA regulating RNA molecules (http://ai.stanford.edu/~serafim/CS374_2006/papers/Mattick_NRG2004.pdf and http://www.scientistlive.com/European-Science-News/Genetics/Revising_RNA_regulation_targets/20711/). This fact leads to an interesting polarity in regard to gravitometric/magnetic influences and electromagnetic influences. More on this topic later in the discussion below.
The formation of the body occurs from the development of the original egg and sperm uniting to form a zygote.
The development of the fetus from one individual cell is a very carefully orchestrated series of events that occurs in roughly 270 days. The study of developmental biology is a very interesting source of information concerning these very carefully orchestrated events (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_biology).
The developing extra-cellular matrix produced by connective tissue cells compartmentalizes the body into which the various organ systems develop. The vascular and nervous systems link all of these systems together physically with various blood and lymph vessels and nerve axons. The vascular system conducts nutrients into the various tissues and then conducts wastes out of those tissues. The vascular system is also the means for immune elements to traverse the body. The nervous system coordinates all information reception, information processing and initiates all muscular activity directly. Indirectly via the immune system and with the help of the neuro-endocrine system, the nervous system coordinates bodily activity via biochemical agents called cytokines ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine ) and hormones ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormone ). In all cases, it is the nervous system that is of paramount importance. The nervous system works by means of cations & anions of elements and molecules at the biochemical level and by coherent resonance at the HBF level, due to the nature of fractal and scalar phenomena.
In the information presented above was a bit about the 5 senses and intuition. The 5 senses are touch (mechanical pressure), hearing (mechanical vibration), sight (visible light reception), smell (microwave reception) and taste (microwave, pH, ion and nutrient reception). These are the means for reception of most external environmental stimuli necessary for survival in the jungle of life. However, the neuro-endocrine components of the nervous system also receive external stimuli (pineal gland, hypothalamus & limbic structures). The stimuli that these components are sensitive to are various wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation (both the electric and magnetic components) and gravitometric & magnetic wave radiations. In fact, the entire physical body is an extension of these nervous nuclei via the superconducting nature of the extracellular matrix (http://diamondhead.net/edfbem.htm). Remember that the nervous system travels to and from all parts of the body via the compartments initiated and produced by connective tissue secretions, that results in the formation of the extracellular matrix compartmentalization, during fetal development. This means that the entire HBF is a system for radiating and receiving information by the entire physical body as a whole, apart from the sensory (5 senses) components of the nervous system and voluntary vocalizations or other muscular means of signaling as an extension of the nervous system.
What of intuition? Is this just an unconscious awareness residing within the right-brain neural network? The overt consciousness in right-handed individuals resides in the left-brain neural network. What of "gut" feelings? The movement of thought now progresses to a discussion of the 2 brains, each dealing with the external environment in a characteristically unique manner.
Your body is essentially constructed as a tube within a tube, held in shape by a rigid framework. The interface on the external tubal surface of your body uses the central nervous system (CNS) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_nervous_system) to deal with the outer external environment.
The interface on the internal tubal surface of your body uses the enteric nervous system (ENS) (http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Enteric_nervous_system, http://www.anaesthetist.com/anaes/patient/ans/Findex.htm#ens.htm, http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/digestion/basics/gi_nervous.html) to deal with the inner external environment. In addition, this includes dealing with the intestinal flora (http://www.psyking.net/id36.htm) residing within the alimentary tract that is in fact actually outside of your body.
Each system communicates with the other directly via the Vagus nerve of some 2000 nerves total (coming and going). Each functions quite well independently if the Vagus nerve is severed. Indirectly (via the vascular system) each nervous system communicates with the rest of the body using various cytokines and hormones. The same types of neural cell surface receptors for neurotransmitters, cytokines and hormones are present in both of these systems.
The ENS controls the process of digestion and the assimilation of nutrients (http://www.cnsweb.org/digestvertebrates/WWWEdStevensCDNeuroendocrine.html).
How does your NES know what matter to assimilate and what to pass on? Are individuals different in their requirements in the matter that is absorbed? What are the determiners of the quality and quantity of matter absorbed? These 3 questions are at the heart of this article concerning coherence and resonance in the affairs of mankind. The idea or concept to be promulgated is that the HBF and all the components of the physical body coherently resonate with encountered matter and incorporate any such needed deficits of matter within the physical matrix of the body. Thus, the physical body is constantly changing in order to respond to and survive in the local environment within which the physical body resides. Before the modern times, in general, most people rarely traveled more than 20 to 50 miles from their birthplace. This means that the matter incorporated into their body originated within their living environment.
The Neuro-Endocrine Components of the Nervous System
The presently known major neuro-endocrine cell loci are located in the brain structures known as the pineal gland and the hypothalamus (http://physiologyonline.physiology.org/content/16/2/92.full). The pituitary gland responds to signals from the hypothalamus. Compounds released from the pituitary gland stimulate the hormonal glands throughout the rest of the body (http://www.besthealth.com/besthealth/bodyguide/reftext/html/endo_sys_fin.html).
The neuro-endocrine nerve cell loci respond to fluctuations in the electromagnetic phenomena impinging upon the Earth from Sol, the planets of the Solar System and deep space. For all intents and purposes, Sol is the source of all energy for animate life via the compounds produced by the plant kingdom. This energy is in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds of the ATP molecule (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_triphosphate). This energy powers all biochemical processes within the physical body for all multi-cellular organic entities.
The science of chronobiology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronobiology & http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-chronobiology.htm) studies the response of living entities to the cyclic and rhythmic fluctuations of the Earthly incumbent electromagnetic background. This book, published in 2004, gives a very good account of the current body of science, at that time, of the various aspects of scientific study concerning this topic (http://www.sinauer.com/detail.php?id=1490).
Biorhythms and Astrology are cultural aspects of Chronobiology. NASA has coined the term "Astrobiology" to denote studies of man in space (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrobiology).
Coherent Resonance
The concept of resonance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance) and coherence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_(physics)) are well established in physics. Coherent resonance between separate groups of matter allows for energy transfer to occur between them with almost no loss of energy (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19894921 and the exchange of information, as well.
Coherent resonance between DNA molecules in chromosomes occurs via the electromagnetic frequencies of about 200 nm to 800 nm and are called biophotons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophoton and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophoton and especially http://www.transpersonal.de/mbischof/englisch/webbookeng.htm). An essential and primary source of biophoton emission is the DNA within the chromosomes. Biophotons are part of the overall biofield of the physical body. All modes of light therapy are tied to these frequencies (http://www.diamondhead.net/p14.htm) in some manner: it is light in the wavelength range of 200 nm to 800 nm, from the short ultra-violet through to the short infrared (including the visible spectrum).
Electromagnetic Influences on Form
Research shows that form follows electromagnetic frequencies (http://www.springerlink.com/content/r275249865705134/). Electromagnetic fields, biofields and pulsed wave patterns influence structure. In 1994, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) established the term "Biofield". The biofield is an ensemble or matrix of different energies that purportedly surround and penetrate the human body. These electromagnetic influences on form define health and illness. When the body experiences a coherent state of balanced electromagnetic flow, health occurs. Disease may then be defined as a state of dissonance, when the physical body experiences any imbalance in its body-field/biofield.
In other words, health occurs when energy flows freely within the meridians (extracellular matrix channels) of the human organism. Disease occurs when the body is literally overwhelmed with electromagnetic or gravitometric shocks and the HBF coherent resonance is out of alignment. The means for establishing guidelines for occupational magnetic field exposure have been published (http://www.ursi.org/Proceedings/ProcGA05/pdf/KP.55(0867).pdf).
It is DNA that functions as the receiver and transmitter of electromagnetic/gravitometric frequencies at the cellular level and thus also at the whole body level due to the overall collectively generated morphogenic field. The ability to achieve coherent resonance is located in the hydro-energetic matrix of DNA. These water (hydro-) molecules are the originating source of the organism's coherence. Hydro-silicic acid complexes are powerful electromagnetic coherent resonators (http://www.journalinformationalmedicine.org/bpes.htm).
Electromagnetic and acoustic fields in the range of the Schumann Resonance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances) encode water into structured and coherent states. Schumann Resonances are but one of the many inherent rhythms of the Earth (http://www.glcoherence.org/monitoring-system/earth-rhythms.html). Coherent water in the DNA vibrates at resonant frequencies that continuously rebalance cellular structures. This DNA resonant coupling is mirrored in all the cells of the body. The combined coherent resonance is what produces the HBF and the morphogenic field ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphogenetic_field ) of the physical body. Stress and disharmonic signals from electromagnetic and gravitometric fields alters the resonant DNA profile and predispose the body to illness according to the constitution of the physical body as determined by inherent adverse gene mutations. The purpose of DNA is to respond to the rhythmic electromagnetic and gravitometric fluctuations in the environment and to produce new enzyme systems in order to alter cellular metabolism accordingly. Non-coherently resonating DNA produces an enzyme cascade that is not able to deal with the current needs of the physiology of the organism and this is the nature of adverse gene mutation.
Sound Activated Coherence
Illness as an incoherent state of the body can also be rebalanced in the DNA through sound. A Russian team of researchers under Pjotr Garjajev has shown that DNA activation occurs by words and sounds, a regular grammar with rules similar to human languages (http://www.rexresearch.com/gajarev/gajarev.htm).
Research has shown that DNA in living tissue responds to "language-modulated laser beams and radio waves." They also tested devices that could affect cellular metabolism through "modulated radio and light frequencies." Sound activated coherence for healing has been demonstrated in the physical world (http://helpfulwaves.com/).
This brings to mind the healing qualities of various chanting and meditative tonal vocalizations during Buddhist rituals and Gregorian chant ceremonies. See below for the Solfeggio frequencies (http://www.solfeggiotones.com/).
This points out that coherence, resonance and coherent resonance are phenomena of both consciousness and matter.
The Coherent Resonance of Consciousness
Consciousness is a state of coherent resonance produced by the matter of the physical body and attendant HBF. It is the matter of the nervous system that is interacting with the electromagnetic & gravitometric flux of the universe. There are elements of the dynamic field produced by the matter, the architecture of that matter and the fields therein produced attendant to that matter that yield what is known as consciousness. Just as the various types of electronic equipment (made of specific configurations of various types of matter) are tuned to the various frequencies of electromagnetic flux that exist (whether produced by natural or manmade means), there are components of the nervous system that are tuned to specific frequencies of electromagnetic flux. The EEG (electroencephalograph) measures brain waves of different frequencies within the brain. Raw EEG frequency bands include gamma (25-60 Hz), beta (12-25 Hz), alpha (7-12 Hz), theta (4-7 Hz) and delta (less than 4 Hz). These frequencies correspond exactly to those of the Schumann resonances ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances ).
In electronics, a modulating frequency is inserted onto a carrier frequency of an electromagnetic wave, this modulated frequency or signal has information that is conveyed over distances by the carrier wave. The nervous systems of living entities are also capable of detecting a signal on a carrier wave. The tuned circuit of electronics is a form of coherent resonance as an oscillator. As long as energy is inserted into the tuned circuit, the oscillation will endure and the signal inserted onto the oscillation will also continue to endure. Thus, the consciousness of any living entity will through coherent resonance endure as long as that entity lives.
The nervous system is the means by which perception is achieved. Perception in humans may be via the 5-senses as discussed above or by what is known as "Intuition". Most persons have an idea of what "good vibrations" are about. This is something sensed without using the 5-senses. The reason for this is that the HBF is "feeling" rather than the nervous system per se. It is the gravitometric or magnetic field that is being perceived. This is the basis of the art of dowsing/feng shui (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowsing & http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa072902a.htm) and is a natural extension of human consciousness (http://www.greatdreams.com/dowsing.htm).
Just as any human endeavor has aspects of the ridiculous, so does any human cultural outlet. Those whom are not willing to train themselves are quick to debunk that which they are not able to do. Not everyone is cut out to be a jet fighter pilot after all! How long does it take to train an astronaut?
The author is aware that there are other means of communication via the human consciousness that are out of the ordinary and usually described as "psychic". Perception is not an issue. However, making sense of that perception is a crucial issue. This is where training is involved just like any human endeavor. The consciousness staggering electromagnetic pollution (http://www.diamondhead.net/chapt8.htm) that exists today makes that training and perception difficult but not impossible. Right-brain individuals seem to have a better psychic sense, possibly due to the character of the extensive neural network in those individuals. It has been shown that the basis for intuitive/psychic behavior is a characteristic of the interaction of the body-field of a person and the consciousness of that person.

Element 1 - Sexual intercourse
The first element is that the defendant and the complainant engaged in sexual intercourse. "Sexual intercourse" means vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse, fellatio or cunnilingus between persons regardless of sex. Its meaning is limited to persons not married to each other. Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse, or fellatio and does not require emission of semen. Penetration, however, is not required for the commission of cunnilingus. Penetration may be committed by an object manipulated by the actor into the genital or anal opening of the complainant's body.
Element 2 - Additional factor
The second element is that, at the time of the offense, <insert as appropriate and tailor to the facts of the case:>
� 53a-71 (a) (1): the complainant was thirteen years of age or older but under sixteen years of age and the defendant was more than three years older than the complainant at the time this offense was committed.
� 53a-71 (a) (2): the complainant was mentally defective to the extent that (he/she) was unable to consent to such sexual intercourse. "Mentally defective" means that a person suffers from a mental disease or defect that renders such person incapable of appraising the nature of such person's conduct. The person's condition must not have been a temporary condition, but a standing disease or defect of mind. It is sufficient if the condition made (him/her) unable to understand the defendant's conduct.
� 53a-71 (a) (3): the complainant was physically helpless. "Physically helpless" means that a person is unconscious or for any other reason is physically unable to communicate the unwillingness to an act. That is, the complainant was unable by reason of (his/her) physical condition to do anything and was, therefore, incapable of consenting. The helplessness referred to is separate and apart from any mental condition.
� 53a-71 (a) (4): the complainant was less than eighteen years old, and the defendant was (the complainant 's guardian / responsible for the general supervision of the complainant 's welfare). � 53a-71 (a) (5): the complainant was in custody of law or detained in a hospital or other institution and the defendant had supervisory or disciplinary authority over (him/her).
� 53a-71 (a) (6): the defendant was a psychotherapist and the complainant was <insert as appropriate:>
a patient of the defendant and the sexual intercourse occurred during the psychotherapy session.
a patient or former patient of the defendant and (he/she) was emotionally dependent upon the defendant. a patient or former patient of the defendant and the sexual intercourse occurred by means of therapeutic deception. a patient or former patient of the defendant and the sexual intercourse occurred by means of therapeutic deception.

Stuffed animals and a sign calling for prayer lay at the base of a tree near the Newtown Village Cemetery in Newtown, Conn., on Monday, in remembrance of the victims of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Charles Krupa
Six-year-olds Jack Pinto and Noah Pozner — two of the 20 first-graders killed Friday when a gunman stormed Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. — are to be remembered at funeral services this afternoon. Jack loved sports and was said to be a big fan of New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz, who wrote the boy's name on the cleats — along with the words "My Hero" — he wore Sunday. Noah was "smart as a whip" and "just a really lively, smart kid," according to an uncle, Alexis Haller. The Hartford Courant reports that the boys' memorial services will be the first for the children and six adults killed at the school. Other funerals will be held throughout the week. (Update at 3 p.m. ET: We've posted some details of the boys' funerals here. Our original post continues below.) Meanwhile, the investigation continues into the murders and the young man who authorities say brought a high-powered rifle, two handguns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition into the school — and then began killing the children and adults who tried to protect the youngsters, before taking his own life. Before the rampage at the school, authorities say, 20-year-old Adam Lanza also killed his mother Nancy at their home in Newtown. The Associated Press writes this morning that people in Newtown who knew the mother, say Nancy Lanza spoke little about her home life. But, says the AP, "the divorced mother of two ... was always glad to share talk of her beloved Red Sox, gardening and a growing enthusiasm for target shooting." We're expecting to learn more this morning from a news briefing Connecticut State Police plan to hold in Newtown. We'll also watch for other stories throughout the day about an event that President Obama says should be a wake-up call telling Americans that "we can do better than this." And, that "if there's even one step we can take" to prevent other such tragedies, it needs to be taken. On Morning Edition, NPR's Quil Lawrence summed up what's known so far. State Police, Quil reported, say they have collected a great deal of evidence and that some of it "suggests a motive, which in the coming days will be made public." Also on Morning Edition, NPR's Scott Horsley reported on the president's address at Sunday evening's memorial service for victims.

“We may not be able to predict the future but we can shape the narrative.”-- Betty Sue Flowers, LLAMA President’s Program 2006
Leading change Posted on Jan 31, 2011 in Leadership, Systems and Organizations A week or so ago Karen Schneider asked for thoughts on a future presentation she will be doing which will include the subject of change. Having done a lot of work (teaching, training, leadership development, research, and presentation) on this subject, I know how fraught it can be with platitudes and/or abstract concepts. As I considered Karen’s inquiry I thought I would take a stab at crystallizing what I think leaders should think about when leading change. I used my comment on her blog as a basis for this post:
Leaders (at many levels of an organization) have the responsibility to help people in the organization come together to move forward – which means to make sense of, adapt to, and even instigate change. Some thoughts on actions leaders can take when leading change:
1. Help people realize the difference between true resistance and fear of loss of the known. William Bridges, who has written eloquently about managing transitions and change, states that people don’t so much resist change as they fear loss – loss of competence, loss of familiarity, loss of security, loss of proximity, etc. I believe this is a very accurate statement and that leaders should encourage compassion within the organization and help people develop respectful language in reference to each other. The word “resistance” is easily and frequently used to describe people who are perceived to be roadblocks to progress and change effectiveness. They may actually just need time to process loss (real or perceived) and/or to have that feeling of loss validated and heard.
2. To focus on incompetence for a moment: In my experience adults are not comfortable at all with feeling incompetent (or unknowledgeable). In fact, I would go so far as to say that the educational systems we all experience are almost universally designed to create this inability to accept incompetence even though it is a condition of learning.

UPDATED: N. Korea Responds To U.S. Bomber Training Run Over Korean Peninsula

Shin Young-keun
The U.S. military is making no secret about a training flight by a pair of nuclear-capable B-2 stealth bombers from a base in the American Midwest to the Korean Peninsula — what's being described as an "extended deterrence mission." The flight of the two radar-evading bombers "demonstrates the United States' ability to conduct long range, precision strikes quickly and at will," the United States Forces Korea said in a press release Thursday. The strategic bombers belonging to the 509th Bomb Wing took off Thursday from a base at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and flew "more than 6,500 miles to the Korean Peninsula, dropping inert munitions on the Jik Do Range [in South Korea], and returning to the continental U.S. in a single, continuous mission," USFK said. It said the United States is "steadfast in its alliance commitment that the defense of the Republic of Korea, to deterring aggression, and to ensuring peace and stability in the region." The B-2 bomber is a vital element in that deterrence, according to the USFK release. The Associated Press says it's "unclear whether America's stealth bombers were used in past annual drills with South Korea, but this is the first time the military has announced their use." Drawing attention to the stealthy (and normally quiet) training mission is clearly meant as a signal to North Korea. It comes amid ongoing joint exercises between the U.S. and ally South Korea, and as Pyongyang has stepped up rhetoric — warning of a "simmering nuclear war" on the peninsula. According to The New York Times, North Korea is particularly sensitive about U.S. bombers in the region: "It keeps most of its key military installations underground and its war cries typically reach a frenetic pitch when American bombers fly over South Korea during military exercises. The resulting fear and anti-American sentiment is used by the regime to make its people rally behind Pyongyang's 'military-first' leadership." Update at 7:51 p.m. ET. N. Korea Puts Missile Units On Alert: In response to B-2 stealth bombers mission today, North Korea's leader OKd a plan to prepare to launch an attack on the U.S. CNN reports: "In a meeting with military leaders early Friday, Kim Jong Un 'said he has judged the time has come to settle accounts with the U.S. imperialists in view of the prevailing situation,' the state-run KCNA news agency reported. "'If they make a reckless provocation with huge strategic forces, [we] should mercilessly strike the U.S. mainland, their stronghold, their military bases in the operational theaters in the Pacific, including Hawaii and Guam, and those in South Korea,' KCNA reported." In a briefing earlier, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the B-2 flyby was not intended as inflame tensions, instead it was meant to signal that "these provocations by the North are taken by us very seriously and we'll respond to that." "We don't have any choice in defending this country but to anticipate worst case scenarios," Hagel said, according to CBS News. "These are decision-making processes that evolve based on threats — you only need to be wrong once."Copyright 2013 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.

Andy Pettitte: Hall Of Famer?
You haven’t considered that question, have you?
I don’t think it’s anywhere near the 50 most pressing issues of the spring, but it started formulating for me last fall as the veteran Yankees’ lefty cut such an unlikely swath through the post-season. And while the case for a Cooperstown spot for Pettitte is hardly closed, but it is surprisingly compelling.
Comparing across eras is often a dangerous thing, but it does offer a little perspective. And barring a breakdown, at some point in the season ahead Pettitte is going to win his seventh game and pull up into a tie on the all-time victories list with none other than Whitey Ford.
Ford ended what amounted to a 16-year career with a 236-106 record, for a phenomenal winning percentage of .690. Right now Pettitte is at 229-135, which is an impressive .629 (another Yankee great, Herb Pennock, is in Cooperstown with 241 wins and a .598 percentage, and Hal Newhouser of the Tigers is there at 207 with a .579). A numbers box follows, just to get to the essence of the thing (the asterisk indicates the numbers have been adjusted to cut out seasons that are just cameos).

World Series 10-8 5-4 5-0
I’m fascinated by the World Series marks. Pennock made his bones in the post-season, and Ford, from his rookie year of 1950 onwards, became legendary in them. And here’s Pettitte with as many World Series wins as Pennock, and the same post-season percentage as Ford.
I do not go in for lumping all post-season statistics into one number – it is unfair to pitchers pre-1995 and especially pre-1969. Neither should it be ignored that Pettitte is now 13-5 in division and league series. More over, with his triple-play from last fall he has now pitched the decisive game of a playoff series or a World Series an astonishing nine times, and is a tidy 6-1 in such games, with his team having won both of his personal no-decisions, and the one loss being Game Six of the 2003 World Series in which he surrendered exactly one earned run in seven innings. It gets a little less impressive if you include his human torch act in Game Six of the 2001 Series which could have won it for the Yankees – but still, that’s 6-2 in ten potential deciders.
I find Ford was asked to pitch the wrapper three times. He won the finale of the sweep of the Phillies in 1950, got a no decision in the win in Game Six in 1953, and lost the fourth game as the Dodgers swept New York in 1963. As with everything else concerning the post-season, it was tougher for pitchers to get chances to pitch the decider in the days before the playoffs, but Ford did pitch in eleven Series. Pettitte has pitched in no fewer than 28 post-season series (that percentage of deciders pitched is thus still higher than Ford’s).
To this day I think Pettitte deserved the 1996 Cy Young Award, if only for the fact that he went 13-3 after New York losses that season. One wonders if his strong Hall of Fame credentials would be a little more prominently discussed if he’d taken the trophy. If you’d like to be further befuddled by stats and Cooperstown and lefty pitchers, consider one more set: 239-157 (.604), a cumulative post-season mark of 10-5 and a 2-1 record in four deciders. That is David Wells.
YOUR SCORECARD WON’T HELP YOU NOW, MY FRIENDS
I was delighted to settle down, between hospital visits tonight, with MLB Net’s telecast of the Dodgers and White Sox from Arizona, and not merely for the intriguing return of Eric Gagne. Dodgers’ announcer Charley Steiner was my second boss in broadcasting – he hired me 30 years ago last December to jump from UPI Radio to his operation at RKO Radio and from there I was poised to leap into television with CNN (yes, this was before they invented color tv). And I know Charley’s colleague Rick Monday even longer, having interviewed him as far in the past as the 1977 World Series. Rick was later the sports director at Channel 11 in Los Angeles while I held the same post at Channels 5 and 2.
This monstrosity at the left is included because my friends Charley and Rick were victims of one of the standard media nightmares of the spring. In the bottom of the sixth, the White Sox sent number 83 out to play shortstop. And, of course, as can be the case from the first game of the exhibition season through the last, t
here was no number 83 on the White Sox roster. Managers, especially in split-squad situations and/or road trips, supplement even the usual mass of 40-man roster guys and non-roster invitees with as many as dozen extra minor leaguers on a one-game basis, whose identities are usually written down on the shirt cuff of the visiting Media Relations guy. Anyone in the press box is thus left as helpless as in high school, when whoever kept your scorecard had to exchange rosters with whoever kept theirs (I once had a hockey game in which the rival team wore several years’ worth of uniforms and thus had multiple players wearing the same numbers – they had at least three guys wearing number “5″ and tried to fix this by stitching in a little “A” or “B” atop the number).
Anyway, 83 was eventually unmasked as minor leaguer Eduardo Escobar and Rick and Charley moved giddily on to the further disturbing truth that Mr. Escobar was wearing an expandable cap, the surest sign of minor league serfdom. Steiner assured his audience that having been the first pick in the first-ever amateur draft in 1965, Monday suffered no such degradations, whereupon Monday insisted that in his first spring training with the then-Kansas City A’s in 1966, he had been insulted in no less an astonishing way than being assigned uniform number 104.
A-hem.
As they used to say on Letterman, “#104 Rick Monday” is a bit of writer’s embellishment. Conceivably in some instructional camp after they anointed him the first-ever draftee, the A’s made him wear such garb, but it wasn’t in spring training. It is kind of marvelous, though, that as late as 1966, number 45 was still the kind of number you gave to a non-roster second-year pro who wasn’t going to make your team. By the time Monday reached the bigs in the fall of ’66 he was wearing 28, and then moved to 7 the following year.
And the White Sox, by the way, later debuted an outfielder named Justin Greene and a pitcher named Justin Cassel (brother of quarterback Matt and pitcher Jack). Both Justins were wearing number 86.

Conditions InDepth: Hodgkins Disease
Living With Hodgkins Disease
, also referred to as Hodgkins lymphoma, is a cancer of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system helps protect the body against infection and disease. It is a network of lymph vessels and small structures that are called lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are located throughout the body.
The Lymphatic Organs
Hodgkins disease is a specific form of lymphoma
that involves T-cells. Lymphoma occurs when lymph cells divide without control or order. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably, a mass of tissue forms called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant tumors, which can invade nearby tissues and can spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor does not invade or spread.
The cause of Hodgkins lymphoma remains unknown. Hodgkins disease usually starts in lymph nodes or lymphatic tissue and has the potential to spread throughout the body.
Hodgkins lymphoma is one of the most curable types of cancer.

Risk Factors for Rosacea
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop rosacea with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing rosacea. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Common risk factors for rosacea include:
Women develop rosacea somewhat more frequently than men, although men are more prone to developing severe rosacea. These observations may be due in part to the fact that women are more likely to see a doctor than men. Men are more likely to seek medical attention only after the condition reaches advanced stages.
Rosacea tends to develop in adults between the ages of 30 and 60 years of age.
In women, some cases of rosacea occur around the onset of menopause.
Fair Skin
Although rosacea can develop in people of any skin color, it tends to occur most often in people with fair skin.
Family Members With Rosacea
A tendency to develop rosacea may be inherited. It can often be found in several members of the same family.
While the disorder can occur in all ethnic groups, it has been found to be prevalent among people of English, Scottish, Scandinavian, and Northern or Eastern European ancestry.

Israel Plans September Vote That Favors Netanyahu
Share Tweet E-mail Print By Lourdes Garcia-Navarro Originally published on Sun May 13, 2012 6:26 am

Israel will hold parliamentary elections on Sept. 4, a timetable that looks favorable for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party, who have been in power for the past three years. Netanyahu called for the new poll, saying he wanted to renew his mandate and broaden his coalition even though a new election is not required until October 2013. The current coalition has been the most stable one for years in Israel. But both international and domestic considerations prompted Netanyahu to call for a new vote now. Addressing the Likud party on Sunday, Netanyahu expressed confidence that he would be re-elected. "I believe we will get a renewed mandate from the citizens of Israel to continue to lead the country," he told supporters. "With God's help, we will form as wide a government as possible and continue to lead the state of Israel." Iran Issue, Palestinian Nonissue Netanyahu has reasons to be optimistic: Recent polls show that if elections were held now, Netanyahu's party would be the big winner. Political analyst Tamir Sheafer of Hebrew University says Netanyahu himself is also popular, and one of the reasons is his strong stance on Iran and its controversial nuclear program. "Netanyahu is doing very well in keeping the Iranian issue on the agenda, and as long as this issue is on the agenda people will vote for Netanyahu's government," Sheafer says. And that is despite the criticism that several former Israeli intelligence chiefs have recently leveled against Netanyahu for his aggressive stance toward Iran. Netanyahu's premiership has been marked by an absence of a peace process with the Palestinians. But, says Tamar Hermann of Tel Aviv University, the Jewish Israeli electorate doesn't seem to care, and that has also worked in his favor. "The Palestinian issue is a nonissue right now as far as the Israeli domestic debate is concerned," she says, adding that recentlpolling shows it ranks fourth or fifth on the list of issues. Economic Worries Hermann says the average Israeli is worried about the economy. Even though Israel has managed to weather the international downturn relatively well, the cost of living has surged, and polls show that issue is the No. 1 concern among Jewish voters in Israel. Netanyahu has struggled with the issue, and his rivals hope to use it to win seats. "More and more Israelis are looking into Israeli society, the question of equality among Israelis, social justice, solidarity," says Daniel Ben Simon, a member of the Knesset from the left-leaning Labor Party. A few years ago, Labor was being written off as a relic. Now, the party is showing signs of life as it talks more about social change. "We will have to cut the defense budget; we will have to give more to the population," Ben Simon says. "There is growth in Israel. The money is not going the right way." It's a message that is resonating after last summer's social protest movement. Another key issue is what role the ultra-Orthodox will play in society. There are growing calls for them to do military service and receive less government support. A party that doesn't seem to have a clear message is Kadima, the party of former Prime Ministers Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert. It has dropped dramatically in the polls after the ouster of Tzipi Livni as party chief. But, warns political analyst Sheafer, 15 to 20 percent of the Israeli electorate hasn't made up its mind yet on whom it will vote for, so things are sure to change.Copyright 2013 NPR.

This weekend, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the new elections, saying he wants to renew his mandate and broaden his coalition. NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro has the story from Tel Aviv. LOURDES GARCIA-NAVARRO, BYLINE: This was one of the most stable coalitions for years here, but because of both international and domestic considerations, Benjamin Netanyahu called for a new vote. PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: (Foreign language spoken) GARCIA-NAVARRO: Addressing his Likud party on Sunday, Netanyahu expressed confidence that he would be re-elected; saying, quote, "I believe we will get a new mandate. God willing, we will form as wide a government as possible, and continue to lead the state of Israel." Campaign hubris aside, he's right to be optimistic. Recent polls show Netanyahu's party winning big. Political analyst Tamir Sheafer, from Hebrew University, says Netanyahu himself is also popular, and one of the reasons is his strong stance on Iran and its controversial nuclear program. TAMIR SHEAFER: Netanyahu is doing very well in keeping the Iranian issue on the agenda. And in - as long as this issue is on the agenda, people will vote for Netanyahu's government. GARCIA-NAVARRO: And that is despite the criticism that several former Israeli intelligence chiefs have recently heaped on his aggressive posture on Iran. If Netanyahu's premiership has been marked by anything, it's by an absence of a peace process with the Palestinians. But, says Tamar Hermann from Tel Aviv University, the Jewish Israeli electorate doesn't seem to care. And that's also worked in his favor. TAMAR HERMANN: The Palestinian issue is a nonissue right now, as far as the Israeli domestic debate is concerned. We did several rounds of polling recently. It comes fourth or fifth. GARCIA-NAVARRO: Tamar says what the average Israeli is worried about is the economy. Even though Israel has managed to weather the international downturn relatively well, the cost of living here has skyrocketed. That issue has polled as the number one concern among Jewish voters. Netanyahu has struggled with this issue, and his rivals hope to use it to win seats. DANIEL BEN SIMON: More and more Israelis are looking into Israeli society - the question of equality among Israelis, social justice, solidarity. GARCIA-NAVARRO: That's Daniel Ben Simon, a member of the Knesset from the left-leaning Labor Party. A few years ago, Labor was being written off as a relic. Now, the party has largely abandoned its pro-peace rhetoric, and is singing the tune of social change. SIMON: We will have to cut the defense budget. We will have to give more to the population. There is growth in Israel. The money is not going the right way. GARCIA-NAVARRO: It's a message that is resonating after last summer's social protest movement here. Another key issue is what role the ultra-Orthodox will play in society. There is a clamor for them to do military service and receive less government support. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman's party, which is staunchly secular, is pushing that onto the agenda, as is newcomer to the political scene Yair Lapid, a former TV host. The only group that doesn't seem to have a clear message is Kadima, the party of former Prime Ministers Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert. It's dropped dramatically in the polls after the ouster of Tzipi Livni as party chief. But, warns political analyst Tamir Sheafer, 15 to 20 percent of the Israeli electorate hasn't made up its mind yet on who they'll vote fo. So things are sure to change.

Program #1,301
Hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle "NewsWrap": A marriage equality proposal dies in a Finnish parliamentary committee, and three different bills creating civil partnerships for same-gender couples in Poland each fail to survive a first legislative reading; the UK's most senior Roman Catholic cleric, "Bigot of the Year" Cardinal Keith O'Brien, resigns amidst charges of sexual improprieties with several male priests, but his replacement is equally bigoted; marriage equality measures, each with strong religious exemptions, pass committee muster in both British and New Zealand parliaments; an avalanche of "friend of the court" briefs, from political leaders to business and labor leaders and professional associations, meet the filing deadline and urge the U.S. Supreme Court to declare California's Proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional; Russia's Foreign Minister defends his country's proposed bill to ban "homosexual propaganda", while a court in Balti, the second biggest city in Moldova, reportedly overturns a similar local law as an unconstitutional violation of human rights; Canada's Supreme Court rules that the inflammatory anti-gay fliers of a "cured by religion" street preacher constitute hate speech; and the new "Groom Wanted" website in India promises gay men "the freedom to express themselves" (written by GREG GORDON, produced by STEVE PRIDE, and reported this week by PAMELA BROOKS and MICHAEL LEBEAU)
The VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT passed in the U.S. House of Representatives on February 28th, after unprecedented opposition to the nearly 20-year-old law's reauthorization. At issue were Republican objections to its protections for LGBT people, undocumented women, and Native Americans. ALICE OLLSTEIN reported from Capitol Hill that day for "Free Speech Radio News" (with comments by Arizona Democratic CONGRESSWOMAN ANN KIRKPATRICK, Rape Abuse Incest National Network founder SCOTT BERKOWITZ, and Wisconsin Democratic CONGRESSWOMAN GWEN MOORE
As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments in cases involving both CALIFORNIA's PROPOSITION 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, the Obama Administration announced February 28th that it would file a friend-of-the-court brief regarding the California case. The President had already asked the high court to overturn DOMA, but he explained at a news conference why he decided to weigh in on the issues specific to Proposition 8
It had been more than a thousand days since the world last heard from one of its best-known whistle-blowers when U.S. ARMY PRIVATE BRADLEY MANNING testified at his court martial proceedings on February 28th. For the first time the young, gay soldier got to speak openly about why he passed more secret government documents to Wikileaks than had ever been leaked in history. Manning did plead guilty to some of the charges against him, but still faces the most seri | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/370 | {"url": "http://kfai.org/node/34650?page=0%252C0", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "kfai.org", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:40:45Z", "digest": "sha1:56WZBWKA3EFFSYZOMJ7Y23GSBVURNBOP"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3003, 3003.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3003, 3087.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3003, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3003, 10.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3003, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3003, 260.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3003, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3003, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3003, 3.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3003, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3003, 0.31971581]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3003, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3003, 0.045473]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3003, 0.045473]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3003, 0.045473]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3003, 0.045473]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3003, 0.045473]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3003, 0.045473]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3003, 0.00609013]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3003, 0.00974421]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3003, 0.0138043]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3003, 0.07460036]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3003, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3003, 0.1616341]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3003, 0.6441048]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3003, 5.37772926]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3003, 0.0017762]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3003, 5.3352934]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3003, 458.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 42, 0.0], [42, 57, 0.0], [57, 1538, 0.0], [1538, 2083, 0.0], [2083, 2539, 0.0], [2539, 3003, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 42, 0.0], [42, 57, 0.0], [57, 1538, 0.0], [1538, 2083, 0.0], [2083, 2539, 0.0], [2539, 3003, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 42, 8.0], [42, 57, 2.0], [57, 1538, 219.0], [1538, 2083, 75.0], [2083, 2539, 74.0], [2539, 3003, 80.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 42, 0.17948718], [42, 57, 0.33333333], [57, 1538, 0.00069735], [1538, 2083, 0.00756144], [2083, 2539, 0.00898876], [2539, 3003, 0.00438596]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 42, 0.0], [42, 57, 0.0], [57, 1538, 0.0], [1538, 2083, 0.0], [2083, 2539, 0.0], [2539, 3003, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 42, 0.11904762], [42, 57, 0.06666667], [57, 1538, 0.05941931], [1538, 2083, 0.23486239], [2083, 2539, 0.09649123], [2539, 3003, 0.06896552]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3003, 0.93279094]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3003, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3003, 0.77271497]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3003, -33.25353024]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3003, 41.89079346]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3003, 73.98642907]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3003, 14.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |
Rep. Waxman Weighs In On Affordable Care Act Problems
Share Tweet E-mail Print By editor Listen Transcript RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST: This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne. STEVE INSKEEP, HOST: And I'm Steve Inskeep. Let's hear next from a defender of Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act. Democratic Congressman Henry Waxman of California is on the line. Congressman, welcome back to the program. REPRESENTATIVE HENRY WAXMAN: Thank you. Pleased to be with you. INSKEEP: Let's just remind people the president has had to apologize for saying that if people liked their health plans they could keep them. It's emerged that millions of people can't. Their health plans didn't meet the standards of the law. And House Republicans, as you know, want to vote this week on a bill to allow people to keep any plan they previously had. Will you vote yes with them? WAXMAN: No. I won't vote for the Republican proposal because it will undermine the insurance system. They'll let people buy plans that discriminate when people have preexisting conditions, restore caps on their coverage, and force women to pay more than men for the same coverage. And if they have this whole new market, separate market, with these discriminatory healthcare plans, it will force the people in the Affordable Care plans themselves to pay much higher rates for their insurance next year. That's not a good outcome. INSKEEP: Well, given that, Congressman, why did the president make this promise in the first place? Of course you have Democrats now, including Senators Mary Landrieu. Dianne Feinstein, saying actually the president ought to keep that promise. We should change the law. WAXMAN: Well, the president is looking at different options and proposals to try to ameliorate the transition, but we can't let people stay in a separate health care plan for these individual policies. We've got to have one so that - one plan we're spreading the risks for those who get sick. People also who are healthy will be insured to help pay for the costs and keep those costs down. INSKEEP: OK. So what can you do if you're not going to allow people to keep plans that they like? WAXMAN: I think people will like a lot of the plans in the exchange but haven't had a chance to see them and realize that they'll get tax breaks to help pay for those plans. Not only that, when they go in the exchange or the marketplace set up by the Affordable Care Act, they're going to find that they get tax subsidies to help them pay for it and a lot of these plans are good plans. They're going to cover more of their health needs than some of the shoddy plans that people now have. And they think they're covered because they haven't gotten sick, but when they get sick they'll find out a rude shock, that the coverage is not going to be there. INSKEEP: Can I just ask, Congressman, before we move on - former president Bill Clinton has said this is very simple. President Obama made a promise. He ought to find some way to keep that promise, that people can keep their plans. Was President Clinton wrong? WAXMAN: People can keep their plans if the plan they had when the law was adopted is still in place. And a lot of those plans are not in place anymore. Insurance companies have canceled them. Or they changed them substantially. INSKEEP: Because of Obamacare. WAXMAN: Well, because of Obamacare. But insurance companies change their plans and raise their rates every year. You don't have a lifetime insurance coverage. You have to reenroll every year in an insurance plan. And so if these plans are different than the ones they had in 2010, when the law was adopted, then they're supposed to go to the exchange. If they're the same, they are grandfathered in. INSKEEP: One other thing, Congressman Waxman. The president has said the website, which has been troubled, is going to be fixed by the end of this month and there is a bit of a clock running here, to say the least. If the website is not fixed in the next few weeks, how will you as a member of Congress hold the administration accountable? WAXMAN: Well, I think the only fair thing to do at that point is not to penalize anybody for not being able to get their insurance in the timeframe that we figured if they're not able to buy insurance. But this is early yet, and if we get this website up by the end of November, people will be able to shop, to buy plans. I think they have till the end of February, maybe March, to buy their plans. So there's plenty of time. INSKEEP: Just about 10 seconds here. Are you saying you would favor delaying the tax penalty for people who don't have insurance by a deadline? WAXMAN: No. Unless they were unable to get it. But I think they will be able to get it... INSKEEP: OK. WAXMAN: ...if the plan is - if the website is fixed. INSKEEP: Congressman, thanks very much. WAXMAN: Thank you. INSKEEP: That's Congressman Henry Waxman, Democrat of California. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

It's almost time for the Autumn Retreat!!
We've been working on all of the retreat surprises and spiffing up the studio & the house to get ready for everyone's arrival on the 22nd. We're all SO EXCITED!!! As you can see... we're also getting alot of help from Honeybunny.......every piece of wool we'll be using for this kit has been 100% quality control checked for napping comfort!!! It has his stamp of approval (and a few hairs!)
A couple of nights ago (from L) Cindy, me, Jan and Sheila went to the "Girl's Night Out" Halloween event held at Beaverbark Garden Center (OH....it's so much more than just that!). There were about.......hmmmmmm....... a jillion??? people there!! We had so much fun! Before we left we got our picture taken in front of this old hearse with the tall, young vampire behind us. It was so funny because after the picture was taken and the "photographer" started to leave our vampire said in a very UN-vampirish voice to him.........."Thanks grampa!"..........SO cute!!!Next, I just took some pictures in the house...just a little bit of Halloween deco! Have you made Zelda's Fancy Hat? I LOVE mine!
Yes... I'm MADLY in love with mercury glass! It seems to be a new addiction..........like I NEEDED another one! LOL!! I just love this tiny little pumpkin pail! There's something so cute about mini things....don't know why?!.....maybe that's why mini cupcakes are so darn appealing..........it's a conspiracy!!!
The next picture is just a "teaser"!!! This is part of the stitchery we're going to be doing at the retreat. I've decided that I'm going to draw up several more blocks on this theme and put them together in a quilt for release next spring. I'll show you the rest of the stitchery after the Stitching Sojourn Retreat is over!! I will say tho.... it's alot of FUN!!! (do you like the candy cornflowers???)We're working feverishly to get the new pattern "How Does Your Garden Grow?" released. In fact Sheila is working today (Saturday) at printing them up...yes, she's a VERY good girl! LOL!!!! We'll be shipping to the distributors and then we'll send out info about the pattern to shops next week and get the pattern up on the website. I'll send out a little message to let you know it's ready!
I hope you're having a GREAT start to Autumn! Talk to you later!

Hey, great work, nice events, I have to read further. For now, I'm just letting you know I've made a version of your hat, unfortunately without the embroidery. For two reasons: choice of too busy prints, and no time :). I still want to do the embroidered version, I love embroidery. Oh, and it's a wearable hat. We have to wear it. Definitely.Thanks for all your great work!Here is the hat:http://worldofquilts.blogspot.com/2010/10/halloween.html

As Myanmar Reforms, Indonesia Offers Some Lessons Share Tweet E-mail Comments Print By Anthony Kuhn Originally published on Tue May 28, 2013 7:48 am
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (right) walks with Myanmar's then-prime minister, Gen. Thein Sein, at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on March 16, 2009. Both men are former military officers, leading their Southeast Asian nations along a sometimes rocky path to democracy.

Police and students stand off at Trisakti University in West Jakarta, Indonesia, on May 8, 1998, before scuffles erupted. Student protests against President Suharto that ignited throughout Indonesia ultimately ended the 30-year rule of the military leader.

Angry Indonesian mobs burn cars and Chinese shops in Jakarta on May 14, 1998. Indonesia has made great progress since the ethnic and religious violence of the immediate post-Suharto era.

As Myanmar's leaders push a series of political and economic changes, they are also having to deal with recent strife between the majority Buddhists and minority Muslims, or Rohingya. Many countries making the transition from authoritarian rule to democracy have faced similar ethnic and sectarian conflicts, from Iraq to the former Yugoslavia. But for Myanmar, perhaps the most compelling case study is also the closest. Fifteen years ago this week, a deepening economic crisis and weeks of political unrest in Indonesia forced military dictator Suharto to resign after 30 years in power. In the months and years that followed, sectarian and ethnic violence raged across the Muslim-majority Indonesian archipelago. Race riots against ethnic Chinese erupted in Jakarta. Ethnic Dayaks fought with Madurese settlers on the island of Borneo. And Muslim jihadis battled Christians in the Maluku Islands. Some feared the country would disintegrate. But now, Indonesia is widely seen as a vibrant democracy that also has Southeast Asia's largest economy. It seems as if the country got some things right that may also provide lessons for Myanmar as it attempts its own transformation. A Nation-Building Bandwagon Indonesia started off on the right foot by uniting the country's diverse peoples in its anti-colonial revolution against the Netherlands, according to University of Toronto political scientist Jacques Bertrand. "The Indonesian nationalist movement, or the fight against the Dutch, really rallied groups from all the archipelago," Bertrand says. "Whoever was within the territory of the [former] Dutch Indies ... they sort of hopped on the bandwagon of the idea of creating a new state." In Myanmar, or what was then known as Burma, the independence movement against the Japanese, and later the British, was mostly an enterprise of the Burman majority. The British had used divide-and-rule tactics successfully and cultivated Christian minorities such as the Karen as a hedge against the Burmans. Myanmar not only lacks an inclusive narrative of nation building, Bertrand says, but it has yet to come up with a formula — such as federalism — under which minorities could join the union. As a result, large parts of Myanmar's border regions remain under rebel control. Separation Between Military And State Indonesia was also successful in getting military men to relinquish their posts in government. It shut down military businesses and separated the police force from the military. The growth of democratic institutions accelerated the military's "return to the barracks." A freer press amplified public demands for better governance and accountability. The government lifted restrictions on political parties, and 48 parties contested elections in 1999, the year after Suharto stepped down. Election turnout has been high at about 80 percent, and instances of violence and vote-rigging have been low. The process remains unfinished, according to some. Military rulers have not been held to account for past abuses. Notably, both Myanmar's and Indonesia's presidents are former army officers. Myanmar's military retains sweeping emergency powers and extensive control over state budgets. The constitution reserves one-quarter of parliamentary seats for the military, which retains control over vital sectors of the economy, such as energy and international trade. Also, the military has been slow to stop sectarian violence and quick to quash public protests. Burma's military has also continued offensives against ethnic Kachin insurgents despite President Thein Sein's unilateral declaration of a cease-fire. The president's ministers say he is fully in control of the military. But Myanmar's commander in chief, Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, says the military intends to hang on to its leading role in national politics. Decentralizing Authority About the time of Suharto's fall, an Asian financial crisis hit, triggered by the collapse of neighboring Thailand's currency. This also hit Indonesia, which was faced by demands for local autonomy, Jakarta responded by devolving authority over nearly half of government spending to local governments. After a quarter-century-long insurgency in westernmost Aceh province, Jakarta made it a special administrative region with the power to legislate Shariah, or Islamic law. It has had less success with West Papua province, where a low-level insurgency still simmers. Myanmar must address the autonomy issue to end ongoing insurgencies, which are being fought in part for control of resources, including jade, timber and hydropower, and foreign investment in these resources. These economic issues are often overlooked when ethnic or sectarian violence flares. The University of Toronto's Bertrand points out that the crumbling of authoritarian regimes commonly produces a sense of uncertainty about the future, in which different groups tend to jockey, often violently, for a stronger relative position under the new order. Religion In The State At its independence, Indonesia faced a choice of whether to become an Islamic or secular state. It chose secular nationalism, and suppressed radical Islamists who resisted by force. Indonesia's Islamist political parties' share of the vote in two elections over the past decade has dropped from 38 percent to 25 percent. Of course, problems remain, notably Sunni extremist groups' persecution of Shiite and Ahmadiyya minority sects. Myanmar, on the other hand, has explicitly used its support of Buddhism to bolster its legitimacy. The junta followed in the footsteps of its precolonial predecessors, awarding monastic titles, building temples and publicly lavishing money on monks to get their karmic seal of approval. Melissa Crouch, a legal scholar at the National University of Singapore, notes that Myanmar's constitution refers to "the special position" of Buddhism in the country, but that minorities may question this article if room for political debate grows. It's hardly a shock that Myanmar is seen as lagging behind Indonesia. After all, it began its democratic reforms just over two years ago. What's most lacking to many observers is a clear commitment by Myanmar's government to full civilian rule, equality for minorities and democratic rights for the majority. Without these, the reforms will continue to appear tentative and reversible.Copyright 2013 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.

Luna County To Provide Columbus Police Service
Share Tweet E-mail Comments Print By KRWG News Columbus, NM – The Luna County Sheriff's Office has formally agreed to provide law enforcement coverage for the small New Mexico border village of Columbus. County officials had shut down the village's three-member police department earlier this month as part of an effort to stabilize its budget. The former mayor and two other village officials have been accused of helping smuggle hundreds of gun into the Mexico. The Deming Headlight reports that the deal for the sheriff's office to patrol the village calls for a deputy to be in the village during regular business hours on weekdays. Patrols will be coordinated for other hours. The agreement ends in Dec. 2014, but can be canceled by either party. ___ Information from: Headlight, http://www.demingheadlight.com Copyright 2011 The Associated Press.

Supreme Court To Decide Constitutionality Of Health Law
Share Tweet E-mail Comments Print By Julie Rovner Coming soon to the Supreme Court: Is the federal health overhaul constitutional? dbking
Who didn't see this coming? The Supreme Court has added a case challenging the constitutionality of the provision of last year's health overhaul requiring nearly every American to have health insurance beginning in the year 2014 to the list of cases it will hear this term. And also, as expected, the case it will hear is the one filed by the National Federation of Independent Business and the attorneys general of 26 states. The legal showdown will decide once and for all if the administration's sweeping law to extend insurance coverage to millions of Americans will stand. Befitting the seriousness of the stakes, the court has scheduled a total of 5 1/2 hours of oral arguments on the matter — far more than the usual hour or two granted even for major cases. The case could be argued in March, with a decision most likely coming at the very end of the court's term in June, according to NPR's Nina Totenberg. The justices are seeking to examine three major questions. First, whether Congress had the power to enact the so-called "minimum coverage" provision of the act, also known as the individual mandate. On that question, lower appeals courts have split. Second, if Congress lacked that power under the Constitution, whether the mandate provision can be considered separately from the rest of the law. If not, and the mandate doesn't pass constitutional muster, the entire law would be declared unconstitutional. The trial judge in the Florida case, Judge Roger Vinson, ruled that the mandate and the rest of the law are inextricably linked. But every other federal judge at every level who has ruled that Congress overstepped its authority has ruled that most of the rest of the law can remain intact even if that one provision must fall. Finally, the justices want to examine whether all of the cases brought against the law so far are premature because of a law called the Anti-Injunction Act. That's a federal law that prevents suits against a government-imposed tax until after the tax has been collected. While the federal government has argued that the penalty for failing to have health insurance isn't a tax, some judges, including a majority on the Fourth Circuit court of appeals in Richmond, Va., have ruled that otherwise, thus making the Anti-Injunction Act applicable.Copyright 2011 National Public Radio.

Recent Financial Crackdowns A Sign Of Government Toughness
Share Tweet E-mail Comments Print By editor Originally published on Sat August 3, 2013 11:46 am
Listen Transcript LINDA WERTHEIMER, HOST: This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Linda Wertheimer. It's a time for crime and punishment in the financial world. Last week, the Justice Department indicted the $14 billion hedge fund, SAC Capital Advisors; indicted them on insider trading. And on Thursday, the SEC got its first big verdict in connection to risky Wall Street moves that precipitated the recent financial crisis. Fabrice Tourre, who goes by the memorable nickname Fabulous Fab, was a trader at Goldman Sachs, and it was a verdict against him. For more on the Wall Street crackdowns, we're joined by Joe Nocera of the New York Times. Joe, welcome. JOE NOCERA: Oh, thank you, Linda. WERTHEIMER: So, what are we to make of Fabulous Fab and his verdict? NOCERA: They finally got somebody - five years later, yeah. Unfortunately, it's quite the small fry in the grand scheme of things. The Goldman Sachs' trader who put together a deal that the SEC believed - and I think the evidence shows - was deceptive, at least to the people on the other side of the trade. And, you know, unlike everybody else at Goldman, he wrote some emails he really shouldn't have written and made himself a nice, big, fat, juicy target. And the SEC took full and complete advantage. WERTHEIMER: So, the Justice Department charges that hedge fund with insider trading and then shortly after that this happened. Are we looking at a trend? NOCERA: Ah. Well, in terms of prosecuting individuals involved in the financial crisis, we are not looking at a trend. We are looking at an end-point. What the trend might be is that we have a new chairwoman at the SEC, Mary White, who's a former prosecutor, who has really beaten the drums about being tough on financial crime. And I think what we are seeing is the beginning of a new toughness by the SEC for which this victory gives them kind of, if nothing else, kind of a moral authority to say we can charge forward and there's a lot more financial crime out there that we are uncovering. And even though it's necessarily related to the financial crisis, we are going to be tougher. We're going to prosecute. We're going to bring tougher civil actions against firms and perhaps individuals. So, I think in that sense it does signal something new. WERTHEIMER: Are we going to see something happen to the people from the big banks, Joe? NOCERA: That is the big question. You know, the Justice Department has also kind of sprung into action recently with the indictment of SAC, the big hedge fund, although that's insider trading. But the Justice Department also recently announced that it had Bank of America in the crosshairs for some deals that it thought didn't pass the smell test. And I was surprised by that because, you know, this is the same Justice Department whose head, Eric Holder, said not all that long that the big banks were too big to indict. So, I think that we are in fact seeing the Justice Department, the SEC, the government in general, wanting to get tougher on financial crime. Whether they will go after companies or individuals, I think, remains to be seen but I think there's been so much criticism in the press and in the public at the inability to do anything about the people who ran firms that collapsed or that helped bring about the crisis that I think they want to show that they can do this. WERTHEIMER: I wonder if there isn't some element of looking at these big bankers and these big funds. They appear not to have learned any lessons. NOCERA: I absolutely think that's part of it. There was a story in the New York Times this week of how S&P, Standard & Poor's, the rating agency, was loosening its ratings so that it can give everybody AAA ratings again. JPMorgan just settled for 400 and some-odd million dollars for, you know, rigging electricity prices. So, yes, it just feels like no lessons have been learned. Nothing has changed. And I think the government, on some level, is sick of it. WERTHEIMER: Joe Nocera writes for the New York Times. Joe, thank you very much for joining us. NOCERA: Thanks for having me, Linda.

Yes, Your Toddler Really Is Smarter Than A 5-Year-Old

Children under age 2 can reason abstractly, researchers say.

iStock Parents, does your 18-month-old seem wise beyond her years? Science says you're not fooling yourself. Very small children can reason abstractly, researchers say, and are able to infer the relationships between objects that elude older children who get caught up on the concreteness of things. In experiments at the University of California, Berkeley, children as young as 18 months were able to figure out the relationship between colored blocks. The child would watch a researcher put two blocks on top of a box. If the blocks were identical, the box would play music. The majority of children were able to figure out the pattern after they were shown it just three times. They would then help the researcher pick the correct block. The toddlers did much better at this task than do chimpanzees and other primates. The non-human primates have to practice doing the task themselves thousands of times to figure it out. And even then, it's only with lots of treats thrown in. That's not such a big surprise. What really got the researchers' attention is that the diaper set did better at this sort of abstract thinking than children who were just a few years older. "Older kids tend to be really bad at analogies," says Caren Walker, a graduate student at in cognitive development who led the study. It was published online in the journal Psychological Science. She says that older children tend to focus on the objects rather than the relationships between them. "Learning may actually harm these kids' abilities to do abstract reasoning." Walker is working in the lab of Alison Gopnik, a developmental psychologist who has made a career out of devising experiments that reveal the inner thoughts of children still too young to talk. Her take is that babies are smart, and in many ways smarter than adults. In this experiment, the box actually hides a wireless doorbell, and the researcher moving the blocks controls the music by tapping a hidden button with her foot. But the illusion of control is compelling, not just for the toddlers but for the parents who watch the experiment with their children, Walker says. The researchers tested their hypothesis by running the same experiment but letting the children see only one of the pair of blocks. They couldn't get the right answer more often than they would by chance. By contrast, 61 percent of the children got it right when they could see the blocks. And in a third variation, almost 80 percent were able to correctly deduce that they needed to choose sets of blocks that included pairs if they were going to do the experiment. "Even as incredibly young children, 18-month-olds are extremely powerful little learning machines," Walker told Shots. Walker and Gopnik are repeating the same experiment with older children, to see if they do indeed lose this very early ability to think abstractly, only to regain it later in the context of language and culture.Copyright 2013 NPR.

Wednesday, 26 March 2014 00:42 Snag delays arrival of crew at space station MOSCOW (AP) — An engine snag has delayed the arrival of a Russian spacecraft carrying three astronauts to the International Space Station until Thursday.
A rocket carrying Russians Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev and American Steve Swanson to the International Space Station blasted off successfully early Wednesday from the Russian-leased Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The Soyuz booster rocket lifted off as scheduled at 3:17 a.m. local time Wednesday (2117 GMT Tuesday). It entered a designated orbit about 10 minutes after the launch and was expected to reach the space station in six hours. All onboard systems were working flawlessly, and the crew was feeling fine.
NASA and Roscosmos, Russia's space agency, said shortly before the planned docking that the arrival had been delayed after a 24-second engine burn that was necessary to adjust the Soyuz spacecraft's orbiting path "did not occur as planned."
The crew is in no danger, but will have to wait until Thursday for the Soyuz TMA-12M to arrive and dock at the space station, NASA said. The arrival is now scheduled for 7:58 EDT (2358 GMT) Thursday.
Roscosmos chief Oleg Ostapenko said on Wednesday that the glitch occurred because of a failure of the ship's orientation system. The crew is in good spirits and they have taken off their space suits to prepare for the long flight, Ostapenko said in remarks carried by Russian news agencies.
The Russian official said the crew is now working to adjust the spacecraftt to the right orbit to make it for the Thursday docking.
Russian spacecraft used to routinely travel two days to reach the orbiting laboratory before last year. Wednesday would have been only the fifth time that a crew would have taken the six-hour "fast-track" route to the station.
NASA said that Moscow flight control has yet to determine why the engine burn did not occur.
The three astronauts traveling in the Soyuz will be greeted by Japan's Koichi Wakata, NASA's Rick Mastracchio and Russia's Mikhail Tyurin, who have been at the station since November. Wakata is the first Japanese astronaut to lead the station. The new crew is scheduled to stay in orbit for six months.
The joint mission is taking place at a time when U.S.-Russian relations on Earth are at their lowest ebb in decades, but the U.S. and Russia haven't allowed their disagreements over Ukraine to get in the way of their cooperation in space.
Swanson is a veteran of two U.S. space shuttle missions, and Skvortsov spent six months at the space outpost in 2010. Artemyev is on his first flight to space.
So far, the tensions between the U.S. and Russia over Ukraine have been kept at bay. Since the retirement of the U.S. space shuttle fleet in 2011, NASA has relied on Russian Soyuz spacecraft as the only means to ferry crew to the orbiting outpost and back.
The U.S. is paying Russia nearly $71 million per seat to fly astronauts to the space lab through 2017. It's doing that at a time when Washington has led calls for sanctions on Russia over its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine following a hastily-arranged referendum. So far the sanctions have been limited and haven't directly targeted the wider Russian economy.
Earlier this month, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden repeatedly said the conflict in Ukraine would have no effect on what's going on in space between the U.S. and Russia, saying that the "partnership in space remains intact and normal."
At the same time, Bolden said on his blog Tuesday that while NASA continues to cooperate successfully with Russia, it wants to quickly get its own capacity to launch crews. NASA is trying to speed up private American companies' efforts to launch crews into orbit, but it needs extra funding to do so. Published in

NASA's Chris Cassidy and Russians Pavel Vinogradov and Alexander Misurkin landed safely in Kazakhstan, where they launched on March 29.
Live NASA footage showed the three men emerging from the capsule and onto the sunny Kazakh steppe, where they were first put into reclining chairs to help them readjust to the earth's gravity.
The Soyuz is the only means for international astronauts to reach the orbiting laboratory since the decommissioning of the U.S. space shuttle fleet in 2011. Published in

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, American Thomas Marshburn, and Russian Roman Romanenko landed as planned southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan at 8:31 a.m. local time Tuesday (10:31 p.m. EDT Monday night).
Live footage on NASA TV showed the Soyuz TMA-07M capsule slowly descending by parachute onto the sun-drenched steppes under clear skies. Russian search and rescue helicopters hovered over the landing site for a quick recovery effort.
Rescue teams moved quickly to help the crew in their bulky spacesuits exit through the narrow hatch of the capsule. They were then put into reclining chairs to start adjusting to Earth's gravity after 146 days in space.
The three astronauts smiled as they chatted with space agency officials and doctors who were checking their condition. Hadfield, who served as the space station's commander, gave a thumbs-up sign. They then made quick phone calls to family members and friends.
NASA spokesman Josh Byerly said by telephone from the landing site that the three returning astronauts were doing very well.
Hadfield, 53, an engineer and former test pilot from Milton, Ontario, was Canada's first professional astronaut to live aboard the space station and became the first Canadian in charge of a spacecraft. He relinquished command of the space station on Sunday.
"It's just been an extremely fulfilling and amazing experience end to end," Hadfield told Mission Control on Monday. "From this Canadian to all the rest of them, I offer an enormous debt of thanks." He was referring to all those in the Canadian Space Agency who helped make his flight possible.
Hadfield bowed out of orbit by posting a music video on YouTube on Sunday — his own custom version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity." It's believed to be the first music video made in space, according to NASA.
"With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here's Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World," Hadfield said via Twitter.
Hadfield sang often in orbit, using a guitar already aboard the complex, and even took part in a live, Canadian coast-to-coast concert in February that included the Barenaked Ladies' Ed Robertson and a youth choir.
The five-minute video posted Sunday drew a salute from Bowie's official Facebook page: "It's possibly the most poignant version of the song ever created."
A three-man U.S.-Russian crew is staying on the space station and will be joined in two weeks by the next trio of astronauts.

'Round House' Is One Of Erdrich's Best
Share Tweet E-mail Comments Print By Alan Cheuse Louise Erdrich's debut novel, Love Medicine, won a National Book Critics Circle Award in 1984. Her other books include The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse and The Plague of Doves.
Paul Emmel
I've devoted many hours in my life to reading, and among these hours many of them belong to the creations of novelist Louise Erdrich. In more than a dozen books of fiction — mostly novel length — that make up a large part of her already large body of work, Erdrich has given us a multitude of narrative voices and stories. Never before has she given us a novel with a single narrative voice so smart, rich and full of surprises as she has in The Round House. It's her latest novel, and, I would argue, her best so far. The narrator is an Ojibwe lawyer named Joe Coutts, son of tribal judge Bazil Coutts and tribal clerk Geraldine Coutts. The novel opens in Joe's 13th summer — in 1988 — as we see him and his father at work in the garden of their house on the North Dakota reservation. "Small trees had attacked my parents' house at the foundation. ... They had grown into the unseen wall and it was difficult to pry them loose," Joe tells us. Even in this description of a seemingly calm and bucolic task, we can hear hints of the violence and difficulty of the events soon to come, as Joe pries loose the truth of a long and painful story. As Joe later puts it, his mother's clerk job is "to know everybody's secrets," working as she does with tribal records going back many generations. It happens that while father and son work at their gardening, she drives off to fetch an apparently controversial file from her office and suffers a brutal, nearly fatal sexual assault. This event turns upside down the life of the family and the entire reservation's sense of justice. As pure story, the novel unfolds at an even pace, taking us through the revelation of the mother's terrible encounter with a man whose description, let alone identity, she refuses for a long while to divulge. After being treated for her wounds — at least the physical injuries — she retreats into her room at home while father and son attempt to pursue some justice in this case. The elder Coutts works with law enforcement, including the FBI. Young Joe goes sleuthing, which leads to some wonderful set pieces, as when he and his reservation pals take it upon themselves to spy on the priest in residence on the reservation. The priest happens to be a badly wounded Iraq War vet, who catches them at their spying and sends them spinning out back into the world. It's a world that becomes more and more sinister when, like self-proclaimed detectives out of a Mark Twain novel, Joe and his friends sift through clues at the ancient ceremonial lakeside round house where his mother was attacked. Halfway through the story, Joe makes clear what we as readers know has to be true. "You have read this far," he says, "and you know that I'm writing this story at a removal of time from that summer." That long view — and the experience of having become, like his father before him, a tribal judge — gives Joe a clarity of mind and an emotional distance from that tumultuous period of his adolescence, when the harm done to his mother spurred him to commit even greater violence. All of this he describes in a voice that's smooth but never bland, nurtured by years of experience and honed by memory, a voice reminiscent of some of John Steinbeck's best narrators. As a judge, he tells us that everything he does, no matter how trivial, must be crafted keenly. He might be speaking for the novelist, who has created for us the keenly made story of a peculiar history, in an out of the way part of our continent, that touches on the hearts and souls of us all.Copyright 2013 NPR.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington accepted a White House assertion that releasing the images, including death photos of bin Laden, could spark violence and risk the lives of Americans abroad.

Stocks Head Lower; Investors Wonder What's Next
Share Tweet E-mail Comments Print By Marilyn Geewax Originally published on Mon February 3, 2014 4:44 pm
Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange at the end of the trading day on Monday in New York City.
If your New Year's resolution was, "I am going to prepare for retirement by moving my savings into stocks," then you must be very sad now. Broncos-fan-level sad. On Monday, the Dow Jones industrial average plunged an additional 326 points, down about 2 percent to 15,373. That was the seventh triple-digit drop so far this year. Back on Dec. 31, the Dow was at 16,577. And the day was even worse for the S&P 500, which lopped off an additional 2.3 percent to slump to 1742. As recently as Jan. 15, that stock index was at 1848.38. In other words, your stock portfolio has been getting killed so far this year. Experts have been tossing out lots of explanations. Among the ones cited often are: Fund managers' decisions to sell shares to lock in profits after last year's big gains Worries about slowing growth in emerging markets Possible changes in the Federal Reserve's plans for interest rates Weakening U.S. corporate profits Slowing auto sales Weaker-than-expected growth in manufacturing So where do we go from here? Predictions are all over the place. Some analysts think this is just a short-term pullback. They say the market is headed for a fairly typical "correction," a period when the market may drop 10 percent before investors start plowing money back in. This slump could be seen as a "healthy" pullback, coming early in the year and allowing mutual funds to lock in profits from 2013's huge gains. Once stock prices are back down to lower, more attractive levels, the investors will come back, so the argument goes. Optimists point out that both December and January were unusually cold, so that might have slowed auto sales, construction and retail sales. When the weather warms, the economy and the stock market will snap back, they believe. But pessimists are worried. They fear interest rates will be heading higher, China will keep slowing and conditions will not be as favorable to corporate profits. Currency problems will keep hurting emerging markets and Europe will slow again, they argue. Paul Edelstein, director of U.S. financial economics at IHS Global Insight, said the markets could be due for a correction with losses in the 5 to 10 percent range. "Our view, however, is that economic fundamentals in the U.S. economy remain strong," Edelstein said. "This isn't yet the time to panic."Copyright 2014 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.

hide Drug subsidy failed to close racial gap in statin use
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Among older Americans with heart disease or diabetes, blacks are still less likely to be on cholesterol medication than whites, despite federal prescription drug subsidies that lowered costs, according to a new study.
Older blacks are also less likely than whites to have their cholesterol under control, researchers found.
Because black patients are more likely to skip doses or to not take expensive medications at all for cost reasons, the Medicare Part D program that started in 2006 was expected to close a racial gap in the number of Americans with heart disease taking statins.
Since the medication gap has not closed after Part D, "It would appear that more than money is involved," said Joseph Hanlon, a professor of geriatric medicine at the University of Pittsburgh who led the study.
"Racial differences in medication use are only partially explained by health insurance," he told Reuters Health. "Differences in quality of care, health status, patient preferences and other factors may also play a role."
Hanlon and his coauthors compared the health data of 1,091 adults over age 70 with coronary heart disease or diabetes receiving Medicare benefits from year to year, checking in every six months from 1998 to 2008.
The data they looked at included cholesterol levels, use of cholesterol controlling drugs like the statin Lipitor and whether cholesterol levels were under control - meaning that low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, "bad" cholesterol was under 130 milligrams per deciliter.
Before 2006, 33 percent of black participants and 49 percent of whites were taking cholesterol medication. That rose to 48 percent and 65 percent, respectively, after 2006, so the gap did not change.
Before Medicare Part D, 55 percent of blacks and 62 percent of whites reported having prescription drug coverage, and that rose to 75 percent and 82 percent after Medicare Part D.
Average LDL cholesterol levels did not seem to improve either, increasing from 107 to 109 milligrams per deciliter for blacks and from 95 to 96 milligrams per deciliter for whites, according to the study results published in the American Heart Journal.
Diligent use of statins by people younger than 80 with heart disease can lower the risk of heart attack, stroke and death, the authors point out. But there is little evidence for benefits over age 85, and at that age the risks of cognitive damage and death due to the medication increase.
Since Lipitor went generic in 2011, it now costs about 50 cents per pill, and some retailers actually offer it for free with a prescription.
Even though cholesterol control didn't appear to change over time, that doesn't mean Medicare Part D had no effect on that health risk factor in the population, said Dr. Walid Gellad, a staff physician at the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center who was not involved in the study.
Just because people reported that they were taking statin drugs doesn't mean that they were taking them often enough, or correctly, Gellad told Reuters Health by email.
Dr. Jennifer G. Robinson, director of the Prevention Intervention Center at the College of Public Health at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, expected Medicare Part D to have had more of an effect.
"More recent studies have found the disparities in prevention and treatments have been narrowing between whites and blacks," she said.
The results may not reflect the effect of Medicare Part D in the nation as a whole, since medication use varies widely by region, Robinson noted. And the apparent overall increase in cholesterol medication use is encouraging, she said.
"It is critically important nationally for more people to achieve lipid control," Gellad said. "However, as the authors explain, it is not so clear how important it is to achieve lipid control for individuals once they reach 80, especially if they have evidence of limited life expectancy."

New Installations at LACMA
While some of our major exhibitions have closed or are preparing to close this spring and early summer, we have mounted a handful of new installations that consider works from our permanent collection in new ways.
The German Woodcut: Renaissance and Expressionist Revival is located in the Robert Gore Rifkind Gallery for German Expressionism on the second level of the Ahmanson Building. The installation features approximately fifty woodcuts from the Renaissance and from the early twentieth century.
Hans Baldung Grien, Stallion and Kicking Mare with Wild Horses, 1534, Los Angeles County Fund
Russian Avant-Garde is a small but mighty exhibition tucked into The David Murdock Family Gallery also on the second level of the Ahmanson Building, just to the right of René Magritte’s Ceci n’est pas une pipe. The installation includes some objects that LACMA acquired after organizing the exhibition The Avant-Garde in Russia, 1910–1930: New Perspectives, in 1980, the first large-scale exhibition of the movement in the United States.
Wassily Kandinsky, Orange, 1923, Los Angeles County Fund
In the Art of the Americas Building, Whistler’s Etchings: An Art of Suggestion includes a selection of approximately twenty-five etchings and drypoints by Whistler, a key figure in the so-called “etching revival” of the latter half of the nineteenth century, is located on the third floor, toward the back of the American art galleries, through the David Geffen Gallery and to the left.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Street at Saverne, 1858, The Julius L. and Anita Zelman Collection
Also in the Art of the Americas Building but on the fourth floor in the Latin American galleries is Stitching Worlds: Mola Art of the Kuna, an in-depth look into the tradition of the mola—a textile created by Kuna women that is constructed from layers of cloth that are cut and stitched into colorful and intricate motifs.
Textile Panel (Mola), Panama, San Blas, Kuna people, last quarter of 20th century, gift of Lindy and Ellen Narver in memory of Grace Narver
Remember, members can see these installations and all of our permanent collection and special exhibitions for free all year round.

Young Mothers are Warriors in their Communities
November 19, 2012 by theangy Leydi Bautista – young mother of two
My mother decided to have me at the age of 20 without any support from my “father” or our family. She was a young mother, living in poor conditions in Colombia, who barely made enough money to support herself, much less raise a child. Despite all this, she was able to provide for me and for my siblings as they came. However, I oftentimes imagine how different things would have been if my mother had a support system pre, during, and post pregnancy. I wonder how many more young mothers are out there without anyone to turn to or anyone who shares their experiences and can lend a shoulder to lean on. Which is why I’m so excited for the work the young mother’s group in New York is going to do.
Young mothers during their first training
The first time this group of young mothers set foot into the office they were shy and hesitant to open up about the hardships they’ve faced as young mothers. Their babies sat on our office floor, too scared to ask for snacks or even a juice box. With time, the mothers got to know each other better, they shared their fears of not becoming someone, of hating baby throw up, of deciding not to have an abortion even though they knew it would be difficult from here on after. Many gatherings that led to a briefing in Washington DC where these mothers stressed the importance of investing in them. They walked around DC with a sense of ownership; owning their stories, their experiences, their struggles, their goals, hopes and aspirations for the future that awaits them and their babies too.
Poderosa young mothers in DC
Marymar, one of the young mothers who went to DC shared her experience with us:
It was a fun experience and I would love to do more things like that. I felt motivated. I want to continue being vocal about the issues young mother’s face and to get more girls to do this. Even though there are people that don’t think about our future, we have to do it! We have to do everything we can to make sure others work with us and help us out. I want my kids to look up to me and to be proud of me. I’m doing all this so they can be happy. I want my daughter to one day say, “that’s my mother!” and that she’ll follow in my footsteps and help others. All I want to do is be somebody in life and everyone will see that I made it even though they didn’t believe I could. I will make it, that is a promise.
For these moms, the journey is not over though, it has just begun. As we continue to grow together and learn from each we hope to see real change in our community. These young moms are determined to obtain the resources they need to help their families or to create paths that are not there for them the way my mother did. From having access to child care, scholarships, food and shelter, comprehensive sex education to parent only parks, they will continue to fight for it all. But they won’t be alone.
Perlita and her baby boy
One thing is certain; they are not fighting for themselves but for their kid(s). Their kids are the reason they are able to get out of bed sometimes, why some of them are still enrolled in college even though it is so difficult to find child care. Their kids are the reason why they’re standing up to the injustices and inequalities they face every day. Because some day, things will change, and their little ones will be there to witness it and know their mothers fought for this. Without realizing it, these moms have already become someone in life. They are warriors and creators of their own destinies.

JOHNSON v. COOPER.A98A0994.(234 Ga. App. 753)(507 SE2d 559)(1998)RUFFIN, Judge.Action for damages. DeKalb State Court. Before Judge Robins.Leslie Johnson sued Phillip Cooper for injuries she allegedly sustained in an automobile collision. Before trial, Cooper stipulated to his negligence, leaving only the issues of proximate cause and damages for trial. After a trial on these issues, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendant. Johnson appeals, asserting that the verdict was not supported by the evidence and that the trial court erred in instructing the jury on speculative damages. For reasons which follow, we affirm.1. "Where a jury returns a verdict and it has the approval of the trial judge, the same must be affirmed on appeal if there is any evidence to support it as the jurors are the sole and exclusive judges of the weight and credit given the evidence." Taylor v. Ga. Power Co., 136 Ga. App. 412, 413 (1) (221 SE2d 222) (1975). Moreover, "the evidence is to be construed in the light most favorable to the prevailing party and every presumption and inference is in favor of sustaining the verdict." (Punctuation omitted.) Kent v. Peters, 211 Ga. App. 698 (1) (440 SE2d 87) (1994).Viewed in this light, the evidence shows that Johnson and Cooper were involved in an automobile collision on August 19, 1995. Johnson initially felt "a little sore, [a] little achy, mostly in [her] back and [her] neck for the first few days," and five days later she went to a chiropractor for treatment for neck and back pain. She saw the chiropractor approximately ten times.On September 14, 1995, Johnson went to Dr. Mark Harris, a neurologist, complaining of headaches, neck and back pain, and a tingling and numbness in her left arm. Dr. Harris made no objective findings as to the source of Johnson's complaints of headaches and numbness in her arm; however, he found limited lateral movement of her neck, some spasm of the muscles that run up the middle and lower back, and a slight decrease in her left knee deep tendon reflex. Based on these findings, Dr. Harris ordered an MRI. Dr. Harris subsequently diagnosed Johnson as having a bulging disk based on his review of the MRI film taken on September 16, 1995.On September 29, 1995, Johnson went to an emergency room where she again complained of headaches and neck and back pain. That same day, Johnson returned to Dr. Harris with similar complaints of neck and back pain and numbness in her left arm. Dr. Harris recommended that she continue her anti-inflammatory medication and gave her a referral for physical therapy.Johnson did not return to Dr. Harris until five months later, on February 27, 1996, at which time she complained of spasms in her left shoulder. On her final visit to Dr. Harris on March 14, 1996, Johnson complained of continuing low back, right arm, and right shoulder pain. Johnson received no further medical treatment. Testifying on Johnson's behalf, Dr. Harris stated that her injuries were consistent with the type of force involved in the collision, but conceded that the bulging disk he observed in the MRI film could have been a preexisting condition.Johnson asserts that the evidence she presented at trial demanded a verdict in her favor because she presented positive and unimpeached testimony concerning her injuries. We disagree. The issue here is not whether Johnson was in fact injured, but whether she was injured by the collision. See Davis v. McCray, 127 Ga. App. 281, 282 (193 SE2d 200) (1972); Kent, supra; Hansen v. White, 190 Ga. App. 596 (379 SE2d 536) (1989). We have previously held that a jury may find in favor of a defendant even when the issue of liability is not before the jury and the plaintiff presents evidence of an injury. See Davis, supra at 282.Johnson should not assume that the issue of proximate cause is to be decided in her favor simply because the tort elements of duty and breach were established by Cooper's pretrial stipulation. See Harrison v. Feather, 211 Ga. App. 468 (439 SE2d 706) (1993). For instance, in Kent, supra, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendant; thus, they "necessarily concluded either that [the defendant] was not negligent or, if she was, that [the plaintiff] did not sustain an injury as a result of her negligence." Id. at 698. In Kent, "some time intervened before [the plaintiff] consulted a physician. Approximately one month passed before she went to the hospital emergency room, two to three months before she consulted an orthopedist, and almost three years before she consulted a neurological surgeon." Id. There was testimony from the plaintiff's treating physicians that "their diagnoses depended upon [her] subjective complaints of pain, that she 'had a normal examination,' with no objective signs of a neurological problem, and that there were other possible causes of her injuries." Id. Further, there was evidence the plaintiff "gave incomplete or inconsistent evidence regarding, for example, her statements at the scene of the accident and her description of her symptoms." Id.Like the plaintiff in Kent, Johnson waited approximately one month before seeing Dr. Harris. Although Johnson testified that she saw a chiropractor before this visit, she did not provide any records of those visits, nor did she have the chiropractor testify at trial. According to Dr. Harris, many of Johnson's complaints of pain could not be confirmed by any objective tests, except for limited movement in her neck, a spasm in the muscles that run down the middle and lower back, and a slight decrease in her left knee deep tendon reflex. These objective symptoms led Dr. Harris to order an MRI, which revealed a bulging disk. Although Dr. Harris testified that the accident was consistent with the type of force that could cause Johnson's problems, he did not state to a reasonable degree of medical certainty that the accident in fact caused her injuries and admitted that her bulging disk could have predated the accident.Following her initial visits to Dr. Harris in the month after the accident, Johnson did not return to the doctor until five months later. During her final visit to Dr. Harris, Johnson complained of right arm and shoulder pain, when previously she consistently complained of left arm and shoulder pain. Thereafter, Johnson sought no medical treatment whatsoever. Whether Johnson's complaint of right arm pain was an inconsistency warranting the jury to find her credibility impeached or simply a late manifestation of symptoms relating to the collision was for the jury to decide. See Davis, supra.The evidence clearly established that Johnson had a bulging disk and various manifestations of pain. However, as in Davis, the jury could have concluded that the force of the collision was unlikely to have caused Johnson's disk injury. The jury, consistent with Dr. Harris' testimony, could have thus concluded that the injury was preexisting and that her pain manifestations were probably the result of this preexisting condition. If so, the jury could have concluded that the plaintiff did not carry her burden of proving that the collision was the proximate cause of her injuries. See Hambrick v. Makuch, 228 Ga. App. 1, 2 (2) (491 SE2d 71) (1997). Moreover, the medical testimony from Johnson's own doctor and the intervening time between her medical treatments also support the jury's verdict in favor of Cooper. See Kent, supra; Davis, supra. Ultimately, the jury was in the best position to evaluate the credibility of Johnson and that of her witnesses. See Hansen, supra; Taylor, supra. Even though the plaintiff proved an injury, the jury was authorized to find that the injury was unrelated to the collision. See also Purvis v. Toole, 207 Ga. App. 189 (427 SE2d 565) (1993); Hansen, supra.Contrary to Johnson's contention, Cochran v. Lynch, 126 Ga. App. 866 (192 SE2d 165) (1972) does not require a different result. In Cochran, we stated that "positive and direct testimony of an unimpeached witness cannot be arbitrarily rejected by a jury." Id. at 867. Only the plaintiff and her physician testified in Cochran, and there was no contradictory testimony or circumstances to refute the evidence. Consequently, "the evidence there demanded a finding that the plaintiff was injured to some extent; if she was injured the causal chain was unbroken." Davis, supra at 282. As Johnson concedes, however, Cochran has been heavily distinguished over time. See, e.g., Hansen, supra (plaintiff's credibility impeached); Purvis, supra (opposing medical testimony and lapse of time between treatments); Davis, supra (plaintiff waited five months before seeking medical treatment).The jury in the instant case cannot be said to have rejected Johnson's testimony, which went to the existence of any injury, not to causation. Even if they believed she had been injured, they could have found that she did not carry her burden of proof regarding causation. Johnson's own doctor testified to a possible preexisting medical condition, and the jury could have concluded that the force of the collision was insufficient to cause her injuries. Regardless of whether we might find it unlikely that such injuries would coincidentally manifest themselves shortly after the accident, that is a matter for the jury to decide, and it is not within our province to second-guess their factual findings. See Taylor, supra; Hansen, supra.2. Johnson also challenges the trial court's charge to the jury regarding speculative injuries and damages. According to Johnson, the charge was an incomplete statement of the law and confusing to the jury. We disagree.The trial court gave the following charge to the jury: "If you believe from the evidence adduced that the cause of any injury or medical condition which may have been suffered by the plaintiff cannot be determined with certainty but that it is a matter of speculation or conjecture, then in that event you would not be authorized to find a verdict against the defendant in any amount for such injury or medical condition. And in such instance it would be your duty to return a verdict in favor of the defendant as to such injury or medical condition, it being absolutely necessary for the plaintiff in order to recover damages from the defendant to show by a legal preponderance of the evidence that the particular loss complained of was proximately caused by the negligence of the defendant. In this connection I further instruct you that the law does not permit you to speculate or to guess about the existence of any injury claimed." Johnson contends this instruction is incomplete because it omitted the following language: "The plaintiff is not required to prove all of her contentions of negligence. But if you find that she has proved one of these acts of negligence and that such act amounted to a failure to exercise ordinary care and diligence, and was the proximate cause of the plaintiff's alleged injury and damages, then the plaintiff would be entitled to recover."We note at the outset that Johnson did not propose this additional language when she objected to the charge. However, she argues that, without such language, the charge given was an incomplete statement of the law and not adjusted to the facts of the case. When determining whether a jury instruction is complete, we look to the charge as a whole to determine its propriety. Royal v. Davis Hauling Co., 164 Ga. App. 409, 410 (297 SE2d 333) (1982). Here, the charge on speculative damages was based upon the charge given in Royal, supra. Johnson properly notes that the language she insists would complete the charge at issue was the same language in Royal that led us to find the charge as a whole complete. Id. at 410-411. However, the essence of the language Johnson proposes regarding her burden of proof and proximate causation is found elsewhere in the court's charge. Specifically, the trial judge charged the jury on Johnson's burden of proof and the necessity that Cooper's negligence be the proximate cause of Johnson's injuries. Although the language suggested by Johnson would have been "elaborative," we cannot say that the charge as given, considered as a whole, was incorrect or misleading. Id. at 411.Johnson's complaint that the jury's questions during their deliberations showed that they were confused is without merit. During deliberations the jury posed the following questions to the court: (1) "Do we have to find if the car accident caused the initial injury to the disk lumbar 5?" and (2) "In order to find for the plaintiff do we have to decide if the car accident is the sole cause of the injuries such as the bulging disk?" The trial court answered these questions for the jurors, and Johnson did not object to the recharges. Contrary to Johnson's contentions, the jurors' questions illustrate their understanding that there must be a causal connection between the injury alleged and the admitted breach of duty, rather than confusion over the trial court's charge regarding any speculative damages. See Smoky, Inc. v. McCray, 196 Ga. App. 650, 656 (5) (396 SE2d 794) (1990) (in reviewing whether jury instructions as a whole adequately set forth the law applicable to the facts of a given case, we must view the charges from the perspective of the average juror, since "it is the jury, not the trial court or the appellate courts, that applies the law").Taken as a whole, and given the evidence as outlined in Division 1, the trial court's charge to the jury was an accurate statement of the law.

Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.
Posted on October 15, 2008 by Anisa My friend Genny always has her fingers on the pulse of the natural vs. artificial debate. Check out her blog here for a couple of commercials put out by the Corn Refiners Association promoting High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), along with a spoof on the commercials promoting the Nazi political party. Pretty funny, and at the same time, not at all funny. The commercials at the end say “Get the Facts” at SweetSurprise.com. Please do. You can connect to that website and another one called HFCSfacts.com through the Corn Refiners Association web link provided above. There is a lot of controversy surrounding HFCS. There is debate over whether it is a “natural” sweetener or not. It comes form corn, yet has to be incredibly processed to make it into HFCS. There is controversy over the environmental impacts of the corn industry and over the government’s involvement in the industry both politically and economically (the farm bill, in particular). The results of the most recent studies (as stated on any of the Corn websites) is that HFCS is safe to consume in moderation, just like table sugar. Yet, there is controversy over it being addictive, contributing to the surge of obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol in America since the 1980′s.
Here are a few articles (not studies, mind you) that I found interesting on the subject. They address the health issues, economic controversy and the environmental impacts of the High-Fructose Corn Syrup industry. Washington Post New York Times Mayo Clinic Advanced Health Institute
Happy reading.

Thanks for expanding on this. I was so fired up about this and felt it was so obviously ridiculous to think that HFCS is safe that I didn’t even focus on putting out any information that you did. Ya’ done good!

Those commercials are disgusting and funny… I’ll spread the word! …WORD.

I just saw a journal article today that exposed the presence of MERCURY in corn syrup.

Baker v. State lives
For those who write and teach about gender, sexuality and law, the big news from Vermont this week is that Beth Robinson, the lead attorney in the landmark case Baker v. State (1999), which found that the state was obliged under the state constitution to provide something like marriage to same-sex couples, was sworn onto the bench of the Vermont Supreme Court. She took the seat of Justice Denise Johnson, who wrote the important concurrence in Baker v. State in which she argued that same-sex couples should, by virtue of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, get marriage and not some differently named or structured alternative. The state VT legislature wound up creating "civil unions" -- but, thanks in large part to Robinson's continuing advocacy work, did ultimately legalize marriage for same-sex couples. Beth Robinson may not be the only out lesbian ever to serve on a State Supreme Court (although she is the first to serve on ours). But she is almost certainly the only out LGBT advocate and activist to have made it from the "streets" to the "suites" in this way.

Lessons from Lou
This blog is about my journey through the brain tumor world with my dear husband, Lou. While not a journey I would wish on even my worst enemy, it is a journey that has enlightened and awakened me to what lies within us, and around us, each and every moment of each and every day. There are lessons here....lessons in this journey.....lessons from Lou....that I would like to share with you.
Name: CB Location: Chicago, Illinois Picture of Lou (sick) and I at a party, circa 2005, long ago and faraway. I'm now a middle aged widow, trying to get my life back together. Mother of two young adult sons, living with two adult cats.

Dietary Supplements For Osteoarthritis
(OA) is one of the most common forms of arthritis and can lead to chronic pain and disability.
Joint Wear and Tear
Degenerative joint disease, another term for OA, is a better description of the process of wear and tear that gradually softens and breaks down the joint cartilage that normally prevents bones from rubbing together.
of osteoarthritic joints often show narrowing of the joint space and destructive changes in the adjacent bone.
People with OA have joint pain and stiffness, particularly after physical activity. The hips, knees, ankles, and spine are susceptible to OA since they absorb the brunt of gravitational forces. The fingers and neck are also prone to OA.
Cartilage Health
Joint cartilage is made up of cells, called chondrocytes, embedded in a substance called the extracellular matrix. One of the primary components of this matrix is a material called proteoglycan. This material helps cartilage absorb the forces of friction.
With normal aging, the proteoglycan content of the matrix decreases. This decrease can be accelerated by injury, excessive mechanical force, or joint deformity. This explains why certain occupations, like machine operators and athletes, become disabled from OA sooner than the rest of us. It also explains why
obesity, which adds considerable stress to joints of the lower extremities, greatly increases the risk of OA, particularly in the knees.
Even after OA begins to set in, there is evidence that regular exercise can delay or prevent the onset of pain and disability. Aerobic activity protects against obesity, while weight training enhances the strength and flexibility of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments around the joints, which improves joint stability and resilience. Keep in mind that acute injuries and repetitive strain increase the risk of OA. Therefore, exercise is only beneficial to joint health if it is done gradually and with proper preparation and equipment.
Standard treatments for symptomatic OA include:
Physical therapy to increase the strength and flexibility of affected joints
Prescription or nonprescription pain medication, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Direct injections of more powerful anti-inflammatory steroid medication into the joint Direct injections of hyaluronic acid to help with joint lubrication
Although often effective at relieving pain, these interventions do nothing to slow or reverse the deterioration of cartilage. Therefore, researchers have turned their attention to two natural constituents of human cartilage thought to preserve, or even enhance, cartilage integrity—glucosamine
chondroitin.
Glucosamine and Chondroitin
Glucosamine and chondroitin are thought to stimulate the production of proteoglycan and stop its breakdown. Glucosamine is derived from the exoskeletons of shrimp, lobster, and crabs. Chondroitin is manufactured from natural sources, such as shark and bovine cartilage.
Numerous clinical studies have evaluated the effectiveness of these supplements in treating OA of the knee and hip. Some studies have shown glucosamine and/or chondroitin to be moderately more effective than a placebo, with no significant side effects. However, more recent studies have not shown these supplements to be effective. In fact, many of the studies that had positive results were funded by manufacturers of these products. Studies done by neutral researchers failed to find benefits.
Other Supplements for OA
Glucosamine and chondroitin are not the only natural products that have been tried as possible treatments for OA. Researchers have studied many other supplements, like:
S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe)–There is some evidence that SAMe may relieve the symptoms of arthritis and be as effective as anti-inflammatory medication.
Avocado/soybean oil extracts–The results so far are promising for these extracts in treating OA.
Cetylated fatty acids—These naturally occurring fatty acids, which are available as an oral supplement and a cream, have also shown some promise.
Your Next Move
If you are interested in trying a natural approach to relieve OA, make an appointment with your doctor. This is an important step because, in some cases, supplements may interact with other medications that you are taking or affect other conditions that you may have. Also, since these types of products are not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it is difficult to know the purity of the supplement. Keep in mind, too, that researchers continue to study ways to help people find relief from joint pain and stiffness, so a new treatment may soon be discovered.

10-year Army veteran pursues career ambitions at LTU
Former Staff Sergeant Kirill Pavlov (right) and his eight-year-old son, Alexander, were part of the Veterans Day ceremony held at Lawrence Tech on Nov. 11. When Lawrence Tech celebrated Veterans Day with a ceremony in the Buell Management Building atrium on Nov. 11, mechanical engineering student and former Staff Sergeant Kirill Pavlov brought the meaning of service into focus with a personal anecdote from the liberation of Baghdad in 2003.
While his Army artillery unit was guarding a base of the former Republican Guard of Saddam Husein’s regime, dozens of Iraqi citizens came to the gates to inquire about relatives who had been arrested without due process and were never heard from again.
“I saw how the people appreciated being free from Saddam’s rule,” Pavlov said. “I knew then that we had done a good thing.”
After graduating from Seaholm High School in Birmingham, Pavlov enlisted in the Army in 2002 and within a year was part of the force that liberated Iraq. He was trained as a crew member for the Palladin, a mobile artillery piece with a shooting range of 18 miles. Later he served on the infantry patrols that were so dangerous to our soldiers due to roadside bombs.
He returned to Iraq for a second tour in 2005-06 and also served in Afghanistan for 13 months in 2011-12.
Pavlov acknowledges that the ongoing sectarian violence in Iraq has made it harder to judge the ultimate success of the American mission, and there are similar uncertainties about the ultimate outcome in Afghanistan.
But he remains convinced that serving in the military was both the right thing to do for his country and for himself. “Being in the Army provided me with an amazing set of experiences. I gained a lot personally. I grew in my ability to lead people and deal with stress,” he said.
When he left the military in 2012, he set his sights on a job in the aerospace industry and decided that the best path would be a bachelor’s degree program in engineering. He was considering several other universities when his father suggested Lawrence Tech. A major attraction was a pro-veteran attitude that both he and his family saw at LTU.
He has also been impressed by the service provided by Norma Julka, LTU’s financial aid and veteran affairs coordinator. “Norma is amazing. She takes care of everything,” he said.
Almost 100 veterans take courses at LTU during an academic year.
Pavlov believes that earning a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering at Lawrence Tech will provide the educational foundation that he needs for his chosen profession. He considered transferring to the University of Michigan Ann Arbor to enter its aerospace degree program, but opted to stay at LTU and minor in aeronautical engineering.
“I love the small classes and my professors’ attention to detail. It has been an awesome experience,” he said. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/393 | {"url": "http://library.ltu.edu/news/?_from=/engineering/mechanical/global-engineering-certificate.asp&_opt=detail&_cid=d61b73b3-1775-4c86-8921-7f015269f4f6", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "library.ltu.edu", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:22:42Z", "digest": "sha1:2RC7HWAPB7HM57OQSIWS64BHYAFKKUH3"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2886, 2886.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2886, 5489.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2886, 13.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2886, 75.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2886, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2886, 198.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2886, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2886, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2886, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2886, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2886, 0.40860215]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2886, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2886, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2886, 0.02637176]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2886, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2886, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2886, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2886, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2886, 0.01063377]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2886, 0.01616333]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2886, 0.02126755]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2886, 0.01971326]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2886, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2886, 0.13082437]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2886, 0.54825462]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2886, 4.8275154]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2886, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2886, 5.1313433]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2886, 487.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 498, 1.0], [498, 751, 1.0], [751, 875, 1.0], [875, 1241, 1.0], [1241, 1347, 1.0], [1347, 1564, 1.0], [1564, 1844, 1.0], [1844, 2189, 1.0], [2189, 2368, 1.0], [2368, 2433, 1.0], [2433, 2776, 1.0], [2776, 2886, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 498, 0.0], [498, 751, 0.0], [751, 875, 0.0], [875, 1241, 0.0], [1241, 1347, 0.0], [1347, 1564, 0.0], [1564, 1844, 0.0], [1844, 2189, 0.0], [2189, 2368, 0.0], [2368, 2433, 0.0], [2433, 2776, 0.0], [2776, 2886, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 53, 8.0], [53, 498, 70.0], [498, 751, 43.0], [751, 875, 23.0], [875, 1241, 66.0], [1241, 1347, 20.0], [1347, 1564, 33.0], [1564, 1844, 53.0], [1844, 2189, 60.0], [2189, 2368, 29.0], [2368, 2433, 11.0], [2433, 2776, 52.0], [2776, 2886, 19.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 53, 0.03921569], [53, 498, 0.01847575], [498, 751, 0.0], [751, 875, 0.0], [875, 1241, 0.01666667], [1241, 1347, 0.1372549], [1347, 1564, 0.0], [1564, 1844, 0.0], [1844, 2189, 0.01179941], [2189, 2368, 0.0], [2368, 2433, 0.04761905], [2433, 2776, 0.0], [2776, 2886, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 498, 0.0], [498, 751, 0.0], [751, 875, 0.0], [875, 1241, 0.0], [1241, 1347, 0.0], [1347, 1564, 0.0], [1564, 1844, 0.0], [1844, 2189, 0.0], [2189, 2368, 0.0], [2368, 2433, 0.0], [2433, 2776, 0.0], [2776, 2886, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 53, 0.0754717], [53, 498, 0.05617978], [498, 751, 0.02766798], [751, 875, 0.03225806], [875, 1241, 0.03005464], [1241, 1347, 0.02830189], [1347, 1564, 0.01843318], [1564, 1844, 0.01785714], [1844, 2189, 0.02318841], [2189, 2368, 0.04469274], [2368, 2433, 0.06153846], [2433, 2776, 0.03206997], [2776, 2886, 0.01818182]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2886, 0.76324397]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2886, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2886, 0.95490402]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2886, -56.37041326]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2886, 94.84224737]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2886, -27.94108518]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2886, 27.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

21 Educational Access To Air London Parade Featuring Lincoln Southwest High School Band
When the Lincoln Southwest High School marching band is parading through the streets of London, England New Year's Day, family and friends back home will be able to watch it live on 21 Educational Access (Time Warner Cable channel 21 in Lincoln). The 24th annual parade will be sent via satellite beginning at 6 a.m., Friday, January 1, 2009. The parade will be re-aired on channel 21 numerous times during the month of January.
Bill Luxford, operations manager for 21 Educational Access and 5 CITY-TV, said the channel carried the Lincoln Southwest High performance at the same parade four years ago, the Lincoln High performance two years ago, and the Lincoln East performance last year. He said Nebraska Educational Telecommunications (NET) is again helping with the satellite feed.
Southwest High Band Director Terry Rush said 155 students will march in the parade, and 47 others will accompany the band on the week-long trip.
Marching in the New Year's Day Parade is a great honor for our students," Rush said. "We are honored to be representatives of Lincoln Southwest High School as well as Lincoln Public Schools, Lincoln, Nebraska and the United States. The London New Year's Day Parade has become the largest parade in the world with over 40 countries from around the world participating.
Students in the school's Wind Ensemble, Chamber Choir and Chamber Orchestra also will perform at one of London's largest cathedrals. In addition to the performances, students will have the opportunity to tour many of the historical aspects of London including museums, the Tower of London and Windsor Castle along with the City of Bath and Stonehenge.
The parade features more than 8,500 performers, and about 550,000 spectators turn out in London to watch. The parade route includes such landmarks as the Parliament building, Westminster Abbey, 10 Downing Street and the National Gallery.

South Asia is home to a large number of languages and dialects. Although linguists working on this region have made significant contributions to our understanding of language, society, and language in society on a global scale, there is as yet no recognized international forum for the exchange of ideas amongst linguists working on South Asia. The Annual Review of South Asian Languages and Linguistics is designed to be just that forum. It brings together empirical and theoretical research and serves as a testing ground for the articulation of new ideas and approaches which may be grounded in a study of South Asian languages but which have universal applicability. Each volume will have four major sections: I. Invited contributions consisting of state-of-the-art essays on research in South Asian languages. II. Refereed open submissions focusing on relevant issues and providing various viewpoints. III. Reports from around the world, book reviews and abstracts of doctoral theses. Keywords South Asia (language) Readership Research Libraries, Researchers and Students working in the Fields of South Asian Languages, Sociolinguistics, Language Studies, Grammar, Literature and Sociology Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics Written In: English (eng )

The Lord of the Manor would have me announce:
According to the Irish, Cinco de Mayo originated as a memorial to a tragic loss.
