Quote: My husband and I visited Great Smoky Mountains National Park for our anniversary. The fall colors were spectacular! Overview A word of advice: The Great Smoky Mountains is the most heavily visited national park in the United States, and Cades Cove is the most heavily visited destination within the park. Because of this fact, there is always the possibility of traffic jams. So be patient, and be sure to get off the beaten path and enjoy a nice hike! If you plan to visit during peak leaf season, you should make your reservations several months in advance if possible.

However, despite the dramatic reduction in infectious disease mortality and the addition of about 30 years to the life span in the past century, major new infectious diseases have appeared. Diseases such as AIDS, Legionnaires disease, Toxic Shock Syndrome, Hanta virus pulmonary syndrome, E. Coli 0157:H7, new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Ebola virus, Dengue, Rift Valley Fever, SARS and other new infectious diseases have been recognized and become epidemic with increasing frequency. Additionally, older existing well known infectious diseases have expanded and become global health problems. Disease such as influenza, tuberculosis, malaria, Dengue, West Nile virus, SARS and cholera have increased and spread in many countries. More recently the specter of intentional introduction of infectious diseases, such as Anthrax, due to bioterrorism has become a reality. What needs to be done now to recognize and control such infectious diseases in the future? - Course topics Topics covered in the course in 2011 include: Cholera, Dengue, Nipah Virus, Zoonotic Transmission of Antimicrobial-Resistance (e.g. of Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus), Noroviruses, Prions and Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD), Hepatitis E Virus, and Arboviruses (e.g. Chikungunya and West Nile Virus). - Contact Information(from old syllabus) Scott Halstead, MD Ellen Silbergeld, PhD Richard Johnson, MD Alain Labrique, PhD David Sack, MD Doug Norris, PhD Jennifer Nuzzo, MS - Course Objectives(from old syllabus) To increase awareness and understanding among public health students about the factors associated with the emergence of infectious diseases. - Disability Support ServicesIf you are a student with a documented disability who requires an academic accommodation, please contact the Office of Student Life Services at 410-955-3034 or via email at [[email_addr]].

How can anyone tell? "It does get into my nerve. But there are two nerves. There's one nerve where you really enjoy it, and another where you can't handle it. So I'm trying to use that nerve that I really enjoy, so I can handle the other nerve." Along the way, the 22-year-old Huh has lured fans who wear question marks on their T-shirts. As he followed K.J. Choi's guiding star, other Koreans will follow him. But Huh is really showing the way for rubber-mat, gasoline-cart golf. Huh's dad ran a fabric business. The ups and downs sent Huh's family from New York to Korea to Chicago as he grew up. But when John began golfing in earnest and won a junior tournament in Japan, they moved to L.A. to help his career. Huh thinks Justin Yoo was the best player on his high school team – "Another guy, too, whose name I can't think of" – but Huh was good enough to play for Cal State Northridge. Except he couldn't get into school because his core courses didn't carry over. "I had no choice but to turn pro," Huh said. He was 18. The choices weren't that good. He played at Hansen Dam in Pacoima, where the course really is on the face of the dam, and where he picked up range balls just for the privilege of hitting them for free. He also played mini-tour events at Brookside, also known as the Rose Bowl parking lot, where he had to put up money to get in. As his extended family scurried to finance him, Huh went to the Korean Tour. To get on, he birdied four of his final six holes in qualifying. Then, in 2010, he won the Shinhan Open, by two strokes over Choi. He was Rookie of the Year on that tour, and that led to Q School. And that led to the vase that he held on Tuesday. "I called up my dad (Oksik)," Huh said, smiling. "I told him, 'We did it.' Because it wasn't just me." No, it was family and friends and all those question marks. It took some nerve.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) informally describe the fields of geospatial analysis, cartography, remote sensing and global positioning systems. GIS is the geospatial discipline that focuses on the technologies and software applications used for geospatial data-related and analysis tasks. GIS background training and preparation include technical geography such as location coordinate systems and map projections as well as methodologies (e.g. data acquisition, data processing, geodatabase structure, spatial statistical analysis, and quality control) required to develop and maintain organizational spatial data resources and to correctly interpret spatial data. GIS helps end users analyze and optimize network, transportation and routing systems, retail and service locations, land use, resource monitoring in the natural and man-made environments, emergency response planning, crime and health hot spots, and many other spatial issues in the private and public sectors. GIS end users, researchers and developers are found in business, marketing, landscape architecture, land surveying, geography, urban planning, local government, the legal profession, law enforcement, health care, education, international development, agriculture, biology, water resources, environmental conservation, epidemiology, aeronautics, transportation, archaeology, defense, computer programming, and many other fields that use spatially referenced information. The certificate program consists of four one-day courses; each taught on a Saturday in our state-of-the-art GIS training facility. The curriculum is flexible, consisting of two core courses and two electives. Students who complete the core courses and any two elective courses will satisfy the requirements for the GIS certificate. The currently available courses are listed below. Additional specialized courses are planned for the near future.
Brandon Jacobs hasn’t reached the majors yet, but he has already been the part of two major league trades. The former Parkview baseball and football standout joins the Arizona 40-man roster after being included in the three-team deal involving the Diamondbacks, Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Angels. Jacobs was dealt to the White Sox by Boston last July for veteran lefty reliever Matt Thornton and this time he joins Arizona along with former Angels slugger Mark Trumbo. Center fielder Adam Eaton went from Arizona to the White Sox in the deal and the Angels received two left-handed starting pitchers — Tyler Skaggs from the Diamondbacks and Hector Santiago from the White Sox. Jacobs, who turned 23 on Dec. 8, will head to major league spring training for the first time, but will likely start the 2014 back in the Class AA Southern League. This time it will be Mobile rather than Birmingham, though. Mobile fell to Jacobs’ Birmingham team in the Southern League Championship Series in September. The right-handed hitting outfielder batted a combined .244 with 33 doubles, 13 homers and 66 RBIs in 123 games with three teams last season, including two in the Boston system. Jacobs, a former Auburn football signee, was ranked as the White Sox’s No. [[phy_address]] by MLB.com after being No. 11 with the Red Sox. He was a 10th-round draft pick in 2009 by Boston and received a bonus of $750,000 to forsake football. Jacobs recently spent nearly two months in Arizona, playing for the Glendale Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League. He hit .256 with two homers and five RBIs in 13 games.

What is the toughest request anyone can be asked to fulfill? Travis Morrison is a champion diver and one of the most popular kids at school. On the first day of summer vacation, while boating on the lake with his friends, Travis attempts a silly stunt dive that goes wrong. He fears he has broken his leg. Instead, his trip to the hospital reveals he has a rare form of cancer, and to save him, the doctors tell his parents they must amputate. In an instant, Travis’s life and the lives of everyone around him are forever changed. Travis is determined that he and only he should decide the course of his life. He has a plan, but he can’t carry it out alone. Will he convince one of his friends to fulfill his most important request? McDaniel isn’t afraid to tackle difficult subjects, in her novel Breathless she exposes her readers to Euthanasia. Told in the perspective of four characters: Travis, Emily (the sister), Darla (the girlfriend), and Cooper (the best friend.) I found the novel severely depressing, yet at the same time thought-provoking and interesting. Enlightening the reader to both positions, for and against, McDaniel is never preachy or judgmental. She allows the readers to retain their own perspectives on the issue. An awesomely written book on a delicate subject.
After my friend Christine’s dad died, she gave everyone who worked with her at the soup kitchen a plastic bag filled with birdseed. The bags had a little tag on them with a picture of cardinals and a note about how her dad loved feeding birds, so we should feed them in his memory. I had never met her dad and I only knew Christine from the hours we spent together every Wednesday afternoon cooking alongside a lot of other volunteers, but it was also impossible to be anywhere near her and not know her. She let everyone in to her world, which was fascinating, larger than life. She had been so many places and known so many interesting people. All the New York things I’d read novels about, Christine had experienced, and she also knew the people who wrote those novels. Now she worked as an art restorer and spent a lot of time cooking and dishing out food in a soup kitchen in Greenpoint. I didn’t have a backyard or birdfeeder, so I just put the seed out on my windowsill. Birds came and ate it, which seemed slightly miraculous. How did they know to come? After the bag ran out, I bought more. More than a year later, I still put some out every morning. Mostly mourning doves come, but occasionally also juncos and finches. Christine took her own life last Friday — I’m now hearing she had a bad chemical reaction to newly prescribed antidepressants, which makes the senselessness of her death extra horrible. It seems impossible. She was so much more alive than most people. This morning I heard the unmistakable metallic chirp of a cardinal and went to watch him eat the seed. He sang as he ate, loud and full of life, with his majestic crest flaring in the early sunlight. Christine, I thought. I know the idea that someone who has died comes and visits you in some reassuring form is silly, childish wishful thinking. I believe that at the same time that I believe that Christine’s spirit is in the world still, in birds and cats and people, in everything that sings loudly and proudly and is absolutely always purely itself. Emily Books, the online feminist bookstore I run with my best friend, was started as an attempt to create a tiny, but serious, competitor to Amazon. To our surprise, the publishers who will talk in private about how much they hate Amazon did not want to do business with us. When I approached the VP of what I’ll generously call the “Digital Development” department of one of these publishers about selling one of her books via Emily Books, she was dismissive. She won’t do business with retailers who can’t offer digital rights protection (DRM), she explained. OK, I said, that software is far too expensive for most independent booksellers, and for Kindle devices, it’s proprietary to Amazon. What sort of non-Amazon branded digital protection would they require? Was there a viable workaround, an alternative? What if we were able to come up with something? As soon as the words left my mouth, I realized how stupid they were. Surely such a thing—an Amazon workaround!—would be incredibly, obviously valuable. Surely many people far smarter and wealthier than me were working day and night on it. Well, the Digital Developer reiterated, acknowledging my gaffe by speaking as if to a very slow child, they would need the software required for a Kindle. Never mind that these arbitrary criteria exclude basically all retailers who are not Amazon, never mind that DRM does little to prevent a determined book pirate, never mind that a real-life retailer was literally asking for her business, money on the table. It’s rare to witness someone line up such a perfect shot to their own foot, unless you work in publishing, I guess. That was two years ago. Meanwhile I’ve waited to see what these well-resourced and well-connected publishing insiders were working on to challenge Amazon. Large publishers have websites, of course, but they generally don’t use them to sell books. In 2010, several of the major publishers banded together with Apple (illegally, as the Justice Department later determined) to forge a better pricing arrangement on ebooks; they agreed to settle the resulting lawsuit (Apple went to trial). In 2011, a few of the top publishers got together (legally this time) to fund a website, Bookish.com, that was supposed to offer a “recommendation engine,” feature reviews, and sell books directly to consumers. After two years and several million dollars, the site finally launched to general apathy and was soon sold, for an undisclosed but apparently small sum, to a startup called Zola. Ruth reviewed The Everything Store for n+1. Publishers create rules that hobble them by forcing them to depend on Amazon, which has had the effect of permanently changing the way books are published. For worse, so far. But alternative publishing models that exist outside the corporate ecosystem as much as possible offer hope for the future. Subscribe to Emily Books via app or web.

June 19, 2013 The European Space Agency is set to develop a new Earth-observing satellite that will map and monitor global forests. The satellite, called BIOMASS, will provide an enhanced level of detail and understanding to the role forests play in the global carbon cycle and potential climate change. Hank Shugart, W.W. Corcoran Professor of Environmental Sciences in the University of Virginia’s College of Arts & Sciences, served on the scientific advisory committee that ultimately convinced the space agency to fund and develop the nearly $525 million satellite. “BIOMASS will be a hugely important instrument for global environmental science research in the coming years,” said Shugart “Its observations will be the basis of significant international environmental policy in the areas of carbon cycling and global warming,” The satellite also will allow long-term monitoring of forest usage, such as deforestation or reforestation. The information would prove useful to international efforts to reduce carbon emissions from deforestation in rapidly developing countries. BIOMASS will be the seventh addition to the European Space Agency’s fleet of Earth Explorer satellites, three of which are in orbit, with the rest under development. The satellite is planned for a 2020 launch. The comments sections of Newsplex.com are designed for thoughtful, intelligent conversation and debate.

Watkins Glen, NY (June 21, 2002) -- The Sports Car Grand Prix weekend is underway and already a new track record has been set. Darren Law, driver of the No. 01 G&W Motorsports Porsche GT3 Cup, broke the existing qualifying record for the Grand-Am Cup Street Stock Series, Grand Sport I class, wheeling around the 3.377-mile course at 99.361 mph, 2:03.187. The previous record of 99.203 mph, 2:03.383 was set by Sylvain Tremblay in 2001. Howie Liebengood was awarded the top spot in the Grand Sport II class after Grand American officials announced that the Istook/Aines Motorsports Group No. 04 Audi S4 would be forced to start from the back of the field due to a technical infraction found in the post-qualifying inspection. Alejandro Lince had recorded the quickest lap in the class during qualifying, but will have to start from the rear due to an improper fuel cell size in the Audi. Starting on the Sport Touring I pole is Jim Hamblin in the Team Spartanburg No. 72 BMW Z3, while points leader Bill Fenton posted the fastest qualifying time in his class with his 2:22.185 lap at 86.085 mph. Fenton will lead the ST II field to the green flag in the No. 27 Acura Integra LS of Bill Fenton Motorsports. Earlier in the day, Doug Peterson captured the victory in the 30-minute Ferrari Challenge race, coming across the line ahead of Michael Louli and Jim Kenton. Tomorrow's 45-minute Ferrari Challenge race goes off at 11:15 a.m., followed by Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series qualifying at 1:00 p.m. The two 250-mile Grand-Am Cup races take the green flag at 2:15 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. Also on tap for tomorrow, the Rolex Series drivers will be signing autographs in the garage area outside the team transporters from 12:00 p.m. -- 1:00 p.m. The Grand American Road Racing Association makes its first of two trips to The Glen with the Sports Car Grand Prix, including Sunday's legendary 6 Hours of The Glen with the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series, and the always exciting Ferrari Challenge. Twilight racing will once again be a part of the weekend as the Grand-Am Cup Street Stock Series teams compete in two-250 mile races Saturday evening. Tickets for the 2002 season, including the Sports Car Grand Prix weekend, are still available.

Darrell Hazell has an interesting contract incentive 719 high schools in the state of Ohio play football. First-year Kent State head coach Darrell Hazell wants to build his program around players from Ohio. It’s something Kent State hasn’t done in the past. According to the Kent State spring roster, only 41 of 84 players come from the state of Ohio. Some other states that are represented on the Kent State roster include Florida (8), Pennsylvania (7), Georgia (7), and North Carolina (5). Interestingly, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports, “Each year in which at least 60 percent of his football scholarships go to players from Ohio is worth $5,000.” Athletic directors are getting creative with contract incentives, but we can’t remember seeing an incentive like that one. Looking back at Kent State’s first signing class under Hazell, 13 of 18 recruits are out of the state of Ohio. That’s 72%, so we assume an extra $5,000 for Hazell. Kent State will visit Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa to begin the 2011 season. The next three games are against UL-Lafayette, at Kansas State, and against South Alabama. SEC East schools go in different direction for summer camps We continue our series on the summer camps with a look at the way the SEC Eastern Division programs will format their summer camps. Florida, Georgia, or Tennessee will not host a 7 on 7 camp. Kentucky will host a 7 on 7 camp, but it’s only for middle school teams. Kentucky and Vanderbilt will try to bring in prospects for a night under the lights. Here is the breakdown by school: Florida will host a 4-day quarterbacks / individual camp, 4-day OL / DL / individual camp, 3-day kicking camp, and 3-day youth camp. Georgia will host a 1-day kicking camp, 2 separate 3-day youth camps for ages 8-13, and a 3-day camp for ages 14 and up. Tennessee will host a 3-day youth camp, 2-day kicking camp, a 4-day camp for high school athletes only, and a 3-day camp for high school athletes only. South Carolina will host a 3-day youth camp, 2-day camp for high school campers, a 1-day camp for high school campers, a 1-day OL / DL camp, and a 1-day 7 on 7 camp. Kentucky will host 2 separate 1-day camps for juniors and seniors only, 2 separate 3-day youth camps for ages 8 through the eighth grade, 2 separate 1-night “Friday Night Blue Lights” camps for seniors only, 2 separate 1-day kicking camps for only seniors, a 1-day middle school only 7 on 7 camp, a 3-day high school only OL / DL camp, and a 3-day high school only skill position camp. Vanderbilt will host a 1-day seniors only camp, 2 separate 1-day high school only camp, 1-day QB / OL / DL camp, 1-day “Future Stars” camp for 1-8 graders (parents participation is optional), 1-night Monday Night Football camp for junior & seniors only, 1-day specialist camp for high school campers only, and 2-day 7 on 7 camp. Muschamp addresses the Gator Nation Spring football is over and summer is on the horizon. It was 87 degrees today in Gainesville and head coach Will Muschamp had a few minutes to talk with Inside The Gators, the Florida Rivals site. Muschamp gave the Gator nation (should “nation” be capitalized?) their role for the season. The first-year head coach said, "More than anything: Be a positive member of our team. If you've got an issue or a problem, don't boo. Boo me if you want to; wait until after the game is over and let me know.” “Our guys need positive reinforcement in what we do and how we do it. I understand, 'We pay our ticket; we deserve [the right] to be critical.' Be critical of me. Be critical of our staff. We deserve that; our players don't." Interestingly, Muschamp told the story why he decided to hire D.J. Durkin, who had served on Urban Meyer’s staff last season after coming over from Jim Harbaugh’s staff on The Farm. "I'm recruiting a young man out of Atlanta," Muschamp said. "I was at another school in the SEC at the time. [The] young man grew up an SEC football fanatic and wanted to play in the SEC his whole life. A guy named D.J. Durkin is coaching the linebackers and the special teams at Stanford. Durkin wound up convincing the young man to play at Stanford and that definitely left an impression on Muschamp. This is where we miss having Harbaugh in college football. If Harbaugh was still the head coach at Stanford, we would guess that by next Thursday, he would have a pretty humorous comeback to Muschamp’s comment. Staff loyalty - An interesting study on assistant coaches Many believe there is not much loyalty in the coaching profession. Some say that certain coaches try to come across as loyal, but in reality, they are only as loyal as their options. We have found 56 coaches in D[[phy_address]] remained with their current head coach for at least ten years. At Minnesota, the Gophers are really selling Jerry Kill and their core group of assistant coaches in the recruiting process. Kill has served as the head coach at Southern Illinois, Northern Illinois, and now Minnesota. Six of his assistants at Minnesota have served on his staff for at least ten years. After taking a look at our breakdown, we recommend watching the latest video production from Minnesota football. The video is about staff loyalty. Gary Pinkel (7): Dave Steckel, David Yost, Andy Hill, Brian Jones, Craig Kuligowski, Bruce Walker, Cornell Ford Joe Paterno (6): Larry Johnson, Jay Paterno, Dick Anderson, Tom Bradley, Bill Kenney, Ron Vanderlinden Kirk Ferentz (7): Norm Parker, Ken O'Keefe, Lestern Erb, Darrell Wilson, Reese Morgan, Eric Johnson, Phil Parker Jerry Kill (6): Matt Limegrover, Tracy Claeys, Brian Anderson, Jay Sawvel, Rob Reeves, Pat Poore Bob Stoops (4): Brent Venables, Cale Gundy, Bobby Jack Wright, Jackie Shipp Tom O’Brien (4): Dana Bible, Don Horton, Jerry Petercuskie, Keith Willis Jim Grobe (4): Keith Henry, Steed Lobotzke, Ray McCartney, Billy Mitchell Houston Nutt (3): Mike Markuson, James Shibest, Chris Vaughn Jim Tressel (3): Jim Heacock, Jim Bollman, Dick Tressel Chris Ault (3): Ken Wilson, Cameron Norcross, Barry Sacks Frank Beamer (3): Bud Foster, Bryan Stinespring, Charley Wiles Mack Brown (2): Bruce Chambers, Duane Akina Gary Patterson (2): Dan Sharp, Eddie Williamson Mark Richt (2): Rodney Garner, Mike Bobo Pat Hill (1): Randy Stewart Frank Solich (1): Tim Albin Randy Edsall (1): Lyndon Johnson Larry Blakeney (1): Jeremy Rowell Jeff Tedford (1): Ron Gould Dan Mullen riding the momentum during Road Dawg tour This week, Dan Mullen has stopped in cities all throughout the state of Mississippi to speak with Bulldogs supporters. It would be an understatement to say that Mullen is riding the momentum of a 9-4 season. The truth is the Mississippi State fans are crazy about Mullen, who has done a solid job in Starkville, but has also benefited from a brilliant marketing strategy from the MSU athletic department. Of course, that’s what you are supposed to do as an athletic department – help your coaches. Mullen appeals to the Bulldog fans. This morning, during a speech at the Columbus Country Club, Mullen said, “We owe you a championship. The people of Mississippi deserve that.” He also pointed out the importance of avoiding complacency. “We can’t slow down at all because, I’ll tell you this: if we practice as hard as we did last year, if we turn out and fill the stadium and create the atmosphere and have the same home field advantage as last year, we can expect to win no more than eight games in the regular season. That’s all. If we want to do more and we want to win more than eight games, we have to work harder.” Mullen also talked about his ultimate goal. To give you a hint, it’s not just winning the SEC Western Division. Of course, Mullen likes to talk about “The School Up North,” whom he has defeated the last two seasons. With the Bulldogs and Rebels set to begin a critical 3-game series in Oxford today, we expect some sort of tweet from Mullen that undoubtedly will fire up the Bulldog fans. Give him credit, he’s good at it. Fedora: That dominance is what I want Larry Fedora is 22-17 and 14-10 in conference play during his three seasons as head coach at Southern Miss. The Golden Eagles have played in the New Orleans Bowl in 2008 and 2009, the Beef O’Brady’s Bowl in 2010. Fedora, however, isn’t pleased. He believes the program needs to get back to the days of conference dominance the Golden Eagles once had under former head coach Jeff Bower. “That dominance is what I want. We are getting back to where we need to be, Jeff (Bower) did a great job during that run and we’re hoping to get the same type of players.” Bower was the head coach from 1990-2007. USM finished undefeated in CUSA in 1997, 1999, and 2003. The Golden Eagles lost at least 3 conference games each year after 2003 and Bower resigned following the 2007 season. Since the CUSA championship game evolves in 2005, UCF and Tulsa lead the way with 3 appearances each. Houston and East Carolina have played in the game twice, respectively. Southern Miss and SMU have played just once. Interestingly, CoachBower.com still leads you to the official Southern Miss athletics homepage. “I am not pleased,” Fedora said. “How have I failed? We have not won them all. That’s it. The only way you are going to be measured is by winning them all and we have not done that. People ask me how many games I expect to win this year. I say every game because that’s how I feel.” USM opens against LA Tech, at Marshall, Southeastern Louisiana, and at Virginia. Memorial Stadium remodeling begins, ESPN showing Cal some love With the remodeling of Memorial Stadium, Cal is set to split their 2011 home games between AT&T Park and Candlestick Park. The Bears will host the season-opener against Fresno State at Candlestick. Games against Presbyterian, Utah, USC, Wazzu, and Oregon State will be played at AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. Memorial Stadium is keeping its bowl shaped structure, but reducing the stadium’s capacity from 71,799 to 63,000. Cal assistant AD Bob Milano Jr. says nobody wanted a double-deck stadium. The entire renovation is expected to cost $321 million. Click here to see photos of the current state of construction at Memorial Stadium. Cal will get plenty of national exposure this season as the Bears will play back-to-back Thursday night primetime games on ESPN in early-October. ESPN will be in Eugene when Oregon hosts Cal on October 6th. A week later, ESPN will broadcast the USC vs. Cal game from AT&T Park. This week, ESPN announced the Cal at Arizona State game to end the regular season has been moved from Saturday to Friday night to allow for a national TV audience. If PAC-12 commissioner Larry Scott somehow manages to get a national broadcast for the Cal vs. Presbyterian College game, we guess he will immediately receive a 25-year contract extension. Considering what Scott has been able to do thus far in his brief tenure as commissioner, don't discount it. Dooley frightened by Vols' youth, but not scared of Knoxville K9 unit According to Derek Dooley, it’s scary how young the Vols will be in 2011. Dooley told ESPN’s Ivan Maisel, “The frightening news is that as young as we were last year, we’re going to be even younger this year. If you look at our roster going forward, over 70% of our people are freshmen and sophomores next season.” On the bright side, Dooley was glad to spend time developing players this spring. The first spring practice was about learning names, learning schemes, and figuring out how to practice. “It was a monumental leap as far as what the expectation are, our systems, how we practice, how we install.” A year ago, the Vols played a number of freshmen. Dooley said, “Our challenge is to get all of those players who flashed last year and turn them into dependable, every down players this year.” What about quarterback Tyler Bray? Dooley said, “Quarterbacking is a long journey. He is still in his infant stages. He lost a fourth round pick, a fifth round pick, and another real dependable receiver. It caused him (this spring) to think a lot more than he was use to.” The Vols host Montana to begin the season. After hosting Cincinnati in week #2, Tennessee will travel to Florida. In the meantime, Dooley will fight some K9's.
SARANAC LAKE - Suzanne Langlier-Lebeda will be the featured artist at Pendragon Theatre in Saranac Lake form November through January. The artist's opening reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10 at the theater, [[phy_address]] The exhibit, "Selected Works" features mixed media images including drawings, paintings and photographs with writing, selected from solo exhibits held at The Adirondack Artists' Guild, Saranac Lake, where she has been a member since 2004. Images from "Works on Paper," "Winter Solstice: Darkness into Light" and "Raquette River Seasons" reflect nature as the common theme. The images explore the enigmatic nature of the seasons, the contemplation of nature as metaphors in human terms, and strive to capture elusive essences and intimations in nature that seem just out of reach or understanding. The images, in "Works on Paper," for example, reflect her experience as a graphic designer and use the discipline of that design process, grid-like compositions and white space to communicate the "story" of the image. Langlier-Lebeda was publications director/designer at SUNY Potsdam and now does freelance design and illustration under the name SnowLine Design: www.snowlinedesign.com.
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens have placed wide receiver Brandon Stokley on injured reserve, ending his season. Stokley sustained a concussion in Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He has had multiple concussions over his 15-year career, and the Ravens determined after testing that the 37-year-old would not be able to return anytime soon. Stokley began his career with the Ravens in 1999 and signed a one-year contract as a free agent in August. He battled through a series of injuries and played in only six games, catching 13 passes for 115 yards. Stokley was replaced on the roster by running back Bernard Scott, who was waived Saturday to make room for tight end Dennis Pitta Take a look at each prospect's average draft position and most likely landing spot based in TSN.ca's Mock Draft ADP.

Under the name Diane Coffee, Shaun Fleming is also an outrageously dolled up performer. "All The Young Girls" is from the band's 2013 album My Friend Fish. From as far back as we can tell, music makers have been inspired by the flora and especially the fauna around us.

Zamboanga City (Agenzia Fides) - The Holy Month of Ramadan is "a special time to renew friendship and solidarity between Christians and Muslims": says the Message issued during the month of Ramadan by the Center for inter faith dialogue "Silsilah", based in Zamboanga, on the island of Mindanao (southern Philippines), founded over 25 years ago by the Catholic missionary Fr. Sebastiano D'Ambra (PIME). "We hope that Ramadan - says the text, sent to Fides Agency - is celebrated in the spirit of friendship and reconciliation and that the new elected leaders in the Philippines serve the people with justice and fairness." The message recalls "the suffering of so many Muslim brothers and sisters around the world, especially now in countries such as Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Pakistan and other parts of the world". In particular, the text mentions the suffering of the "many Muslims in the Philippines, particularly in areas of Mindanao." "Why is there so much suffering?" Asks "Silsilah" looking for some answers: abuse of power, the use of illegal drugs and many other illegal and immoral activities. Before such problems, one often remains silent because of fear, but "our silence often perpetuates discrimination, poverty, injustice, corruption and lawlessness". Ramadan - the text says - "reminds the Muslims in the world of the importance of fasting and prayer as a way to be closer to God and to take care of the needy. Ramadan is an important occasion for purification. Christians are grateful to the Muslims for giving them this example". "Silsilah" recalls that Christians and Muslims "are related as brothers and sisters, members of the same human family, created by the same God who loves us all". "This is Silsilah (a term which means "chain", ed) that we have to build together, working hard to build together dialogue that is a sign of God's presence among us," as the Koran and the Bible encourages us to do so, notes the document. "May the month of Ramadan become a special time for Muslims to remember this message and for Christians and people of other religions in the world to move together in harmony". "The cultural and religious differences should not be a cause of mutual contempt, but rather an opportunity to work together for the common good", without "closing the doors of our hearts to people who come from different faiths and cultures", but appreciating "what we have in common and to believe that we all have the same rights and dignity".

English Standard Version (ESV) 17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him. Both those who attempt to prove the accuracy of the Biblical accounts and those who try to discredit them have an agenda. There are likely no neutral parties in this debate. The attempts to discredit the Gospels have been exceptionally thorough, examining every possible flaw or contradiction. This has forced the Christian Scholars to become extraordinarily detailed in their defense of these scriptures. Anyone examining these scriptures has both the prosecuting attacks and the defenses to these attacks to examine and determine which argument seems most reasonable. It is important to realize that there are no new arguments against the authenticity of the New Testament. The arguments that exist are continually rehashed. On the other hand, scholarship and archaeology keep unearthing more and more evidence from the time period in which the Gospels were written that supports their authenticity. The four Gospels claim to tell the events and teachings of Jesus. In order to trust these accounts, it would have to be shown that they accurately reflect what people witnessed Jesus do and heard Jesus say. One of the things that supports the idea that the Gospels get their information from eyewitnesses is the consistency of all four gospels. For instance: · There are not a wide variety of Christ legends from the first century. Simply the four Gospels which all harmonize in the important details · There are no counter traditions that contradict the Gospels on any major points such as how and where Jesus lived, ministered, died and rose. · There are no counter Gospels that set the story in other places, or contradict the core theology, or change any of the major characters · Jesus is consistently surrounded by 12 core disciples, and three close disciples. He always dies in Jerusalem at the hands of the Romans through the machinations of the religious leaders of Israel and is resurrected three days later, etc. The enormous consistency of the Gospels and the lack of a vast library of “Jesus Legends” cropping up over time belie the liberal claim that Jesus is largely mythologized. Let’s take a look at each particular book.
Cancer demands focus. It's not pleasant at first, mostly because the focus is on something so horrific. As the constant shock and grief wears off, a more gentle shift in my thought process has taken place. I smell my daughters' hair more often. I notice the hawks in the trees along the highway on my trips to the hospital. I've started knitting scarves for friends. I laugh more at the stupid songs the kids sing. I'm not perseverating on planning for events 3 months in the future. I'm more deliberate about what I'm eating. I'm physically touching my family more often. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die. I used to see this phrase as depressing or overly bacchanal. Now it's inspiring to me. Eventually, tomorrow I die. Eventually, tomorrow Henry dies. But here we are today. 6 comments: - Doctor David said... - What a great thought! I have similar thoughts most evenings after I've been covering the inpatient unit. Pediatric Oncology has taught me to appreciate the little things in life in a way no prior experience did for me. - February 24, 2008 at 9:32 PM - The Nurse said... - I thought of you this morning, as I prayed in church. I was grieving an unborn child I lost eight weeks ago... et how in hindsight I felt so strong during the ordeal of the situation. But, I have those weak moments, like today, when I grieve. When I feel broken. But, those are actually the good moments, really. Those are when I remember that life is fleeting, and time is precious. Your post is very encouraging... it reminds me to smell my daughter's hair... to taste my Big Mac... and to not miss a moment, because every moment is a gift. Thank You. - February 24, 2008 at 9:40 PM - - Tara, Thx for reminding us to enjoy every moment that we are giving.

I look at the world completely different now. I notice things I never paid attention to before, I enjoy simple acts and pleasures more, and I find I don't sweat the small things so much. I wouldn't wish cancer on my very worst enemy ... but, I can't help but think it has made me a better human being.

Say what you want about fancy equipment or an expensive studio setting — a lot of what makes a photograph memorable is all about having an interesting subject to work with and being at the right place at the right time. Case in point, Baron Wolman, who was Rolling Stone‘s first chief photographer back in the late ’60s, during the magazine’s first three years. Now, over 200 of the iconic images that he captured during this incredibly important period of music history are being released in a new coffee-table book. “I enjoyed shooting every musician I ever photographed, each in a different way but each with respect for him or her, with great joy in the moment,” he explains. “When I was shooting a concert I didn’t ‘hear’ the music, I ‘saw’ the music. Through the lens I was looking for single visual moments which would reflect the essence of the performance in the pages of Rolling Stone.” Click through to preview some of our favorite photos in the iconic collection, from a pic of Ike and Tina sharing a San Francisco stage back in 1967 to Pete Townshend grinning at the piano in 1968 London. … Read More Music Critics Pick the Last Song They Want to Hear Before They Die As you probably know by now, the end is near.

And the same goes for appreciation – book lovers tend to be music lovers as well, and we’ve discovered a new way to appreciate both mediums at once. Sure, you know which albums to listen to while you’re reading which books, but what if the albums themselves were books? An anonymous artist who goes by See Gee has taken a stab at an answer in an ongoing project imagining what classic records might look like if they had been born as books instead.

Hello GRFA readers. First and foremost, we want to offer our condolences to all of the families affected by this terrible tragedy. Unfortunately, no one is prepared to deal with such a horrific event. Especially one where so many innocent lives were taken, leaving grieving families forever scarred by the events that took place July 20th, 2012. For reasons yet to be determined, a 24 year old man by the name of “James Holmes” made the decision to storm in to a packed showing of the latest Batman movie named “Dark Night Rises” and proceeded to indiscriminately fire in to the crowd of moviegoers, killing 12, and wounding at least 50 others. While this article is being constructed, many of the victims still lie in the hospital. According to officials, the shooter was armed with an assault rifle and 2 handguns. With hair dyed orange, and offering deranged looks as the judge proceeded to give this dirt-bag instructions, Holmes made his first appearance in court today. Before the analysts, investigators, psychiatrists, and dozens of law enforcement officials attempt to dive in to this disturbed man’s head, let’s make one very apparent point perfectly clear. The methods and means that this man went through in order to carry out his gruesome task were calculated, most definitely premeditated, and took careful planning on his part. It’s for these reasons alone that this scumbag should be shown no mercy or treatment different than any other piece of human trash with no respect for human life that litter the streets of this planet. Why do we use the word “planet” you ask? We believe that when a person like this loses his/her grip on reality, as this man most certainly has, it can happen anywhere, in any corner of the globe, and at any time. So for those who may think that Americans are the only people capable of such horrific deeds, all you need do is read some of the worldwide news and you will quickly realize that this is not a tragedy reserved for “Americans” only. There are people on the verge of mental collapse in all corners of the earth. Before we go any further, we would like to honor the victims by listing each of them, and a little bit about who they were/are. 1. Jonathan Blunk: 26 year old father of 2 and a U.S. Navy vet. 2. A.J. Boik: 18 year old attendee of Gateway High School in Aurora. 3. Jesse Childress: 29 year old Air Force reserve Staff Seargeant who gave his life to protect a friend by jumping between the shooter and Munirih Gravelly. 4. Gordon Cowden: At [[phy_address]] victim and father of two. 5. Jessica Ghawi: A 24 year old professional sports journalist 6. John Larimer: A 27 year old Navy Petty Officer. 7. Micayla Medek: A 23 year old college student. 8. Matt McQuinn: A [[phy_address]] his life protecting his girlfriend Samantha. 9. Alex Teves: A 24 year old graduate of the University of Denver. 10. Alex Sullivan: A 27 year old employee of the Aurora Movie Theater. It was also his birthday. 11. Veronica Moser-Sullivan: A 6 year old who’s mother was critically injured and is pregnant. 12. Rebecca Wingo: A 32 year old mother of two girls and Chinese translator. We at GRFA are terribly saddened by this event. We only wish we could find the words to comfort those relatives and friends of the above victims. We will pray for all of you, and may God be with you during such a hard time. Having lost a loved one, there’s nothing in this world that can offer relief from this but time. We wish all of you the very best during this time of healing. As for James Holmes, whether or not we discover what his sick motivation was to carry out this horrible act, nothing can bring comfort to the loved ones who’ve suffered so greatly as a result. We will never forget, and our thoughts and prayers go out to all that were affected. As firm believers in the Second Amendment, I feel compelled to offer a quote made by Charlton Heston while president of the NRA. “There’s no such thing as a good gun. There’s no such thing as a bad gun. A gun in the hands of a bad man is a very dangerous thing. A gun in the hands of a good person is no danger to anyone except the bad guys.” The Second Amendment will no doubt come under attack as a result of this terrible tragedy. But as with prohibition, if guns were made illegal, criminals would most definitely have them. While those of us who try to live by the law would be unprotected and even more vulnerable to attack by criminals. Before I begin rambling like a Southern Baptist Preacher on a Easter Sunday, I leave you with one last quote by one of our most influential founding fathers. You may have heard of him, his name was Thomas Jefferson. “No man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” Please remember the old saying that still holds true today, “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Even if guns were removed from society, the James Holmes’s of the world would find a way to carry out their horrific crimes against the innocent.
IL contributing writer Clay Hall was on hand Saturday afternoon in Columbus to take in the Ohio State-Detroit tilt. To read the press release on the game, Click here. Playing its first-ever varsity lacrosse game was a tough but proud undertaking for the Detroit Titans, visiting NCAA quarterfinalist Ohio State Saturday afternoon. The 21-1 game was a tough go for the Titans, but a bright spot at the end was felt when Scott Harris scored 1:52 before the final buzzer to avoid the shutout and also etch his name in the history books as the first Detroit box score participant. "I think we came out and played very hard," coach Matt Holtz said. "We know we are going to take some lumps this year. This is our first test and the guys responded well. This is a great Ohio State team and you have to give them a ton of credit." Detroit had only half of a recruiting cycle for the '09 team, totaling 17 recruited players on its 25-man roster. "We have a great class coming in and we're pretty excited about that." The Titans played without their best player, senior attackman Kevin Demorest, who is nursing a knee injury. "He is recovering," said Holtz, "and we hope he'll be back in the next week or two." Holtz apprciates the lessons learned on the OSU campus. "We learned where we are and where we need to go."
worst sushi ever – on first entering the establishment we were warmly greeted, but that ended as soon as our server arrived. he was mediocre at best.we ordered soft noodle dish spider roll tiger roll and dragon roll. the noodles were delicious but when it came to their sushi they fell completely flat. the dragon and spider roll were edible even if completely lacking any real flavor but when it came to the tiger roll it was the slimiest most unattractive thing i have ever eaten. i do not reccomend the sushi at all. we told our server we did not like the tiger roll and he said he would speak to the manager. after being interrogated by the manager about why we didnt want to eat the slimy roll he finally took it off our bill. im not from san antonio i was only there for a a couple of days but i will never go back to that restaurant. huge lack of hospitality and below average food.

While the beef patties come with fixings from cheddar to chipotle mayonnaise, healthier options are readily available, such as a chicken burger or the veggie stack--featuring eggplant and more--one of the best options on the menu for herbivores and carnivores alike. Fries come crispy, jumbo-sized and taste great with the chipotle mayo. The healthy choice, once again, would be to go for the out of the ordinary edaname, or boiled soybean pods, but we can't be good all the time, can we?

Found November 21, 2011 on Fox Sports North: PLAYERS: Joe Nathan, Ken Rosenthal, Neftali Feliz TEAMS: Minnesota Twins, Texas Rangers TEAMS: Minnesota Twins, Texas Rangers Joe Nathan has signed with the Texas Rangers, according to multiple reports.Nathan spent seven seasons as the closer for the Minnesota Twins. The 36-year-old right-hander became a free agent following the 2011 season, and is now on his way to Texas.The signing, a two-year deal, was first reported by MLB.coms T.R. Sullivan and confirmed by FOX Sports Ken Rosenthal. Rosenthal also reported that the signing of Nathan means Texas could move former closer Neftali Feliz into the starting rotation.Late last month, the Twins declined to pick up Nathans club option for 12.5 million for the 2012 season and instead paid him a 2 million buyout. Sports Illustrateds Jon Heyman reported that Nathan will earn about 7 per season during his two-year deal, with a buyout on a third-year option.Nathan missed the entire 2010 season after having Tommy John surgery in the spring. He returned to the Twins in 2011 and struggled initially upon his return. But Nathan had a strong finish to the season. He went on the disabled list in late May, but posted a 3.38 ERA with [[phy_address]] five walks in his final 24 games of the season.Before the Twins season was over, Nathan expressed confidence in his health as he entered free agency."That's what my ultimate goal was coming into the season was just to get back to form and at least show this organization and other clubs, if I'm not back here that I am back to form," Nathan said in late September. "I'm as close now as I can be back to form without getting some rest. At this moment right now, I just feel good about where my pitches are, how consistent I've been, especially since coming back toward the second half of June."

PLAYERS: Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Kurt Busch, Greg Biffle, Paul Menard, Kasey Kahne, Dale Earnhardt Jr. It was Mission Accomplished for Mission 18 on Sunday afternoon at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., as Kyle Busch dominated and won the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Auto Club 400. But the victory wasn’t nearly as easy as it appeared. Busch, driver of the No. 18 Interstate Batteries Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), led seven times for a race-high 125 laps to bring home his first win of the season. It also was the first Sprint Cup win at Fontana for JGR and for manufacturer Toyota at its hometown track. “Man, feels so good to finally win with our Interstate Batteries Camry,” said Busch, who recorded his 25th career Sprint Cup victory and second win at Fontana. “We weren’t going to win if it wasn’t for those two (Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano) battling. If they would have been single-file and just racing, it would have went down in order. I can’t say enough about all of Joe Gibbs Racing. Everybody at TRD — we appreciate their support, of course.

Blatche returned to practice Thursday for the first time in more than a month. He had been sidelined since the end of January with a strained left calf muscle. The 25-year-old Blatche has appeared in only 17 games, averaging 10.3 points and 7.1 rebounds. With his production having dipped markedly from last season's career-high 16.8 points-per-game average, Blatche has been the frequent target of boo-birds by Wizards fans.

Found June 22, 2013 on MLB Injury News: PLAYERS: Josh Hamilton TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels, Detroit Tigers TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels, Detroit Tigers The Los Angeles Angels have elected to give outfielder Josh Hamilton the weekend off due to a sore wrist, according to Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com. Hamilton will sit for the team’s weekend series against the Pittsburgh Pirates and won’t rejoin the lineup until at least Tuesday. Hamilton’s right wrist injury flared up during an intense pregame hitting drill roughly 10 days. To help alleviate the discomfort, Hamilton took a cortisone shot prior to last night’s loss to the Pirates. He’s expected to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday when Los Angeles begins its series against the Detroit Tigers. The injury stems all the way back to 2007, when Hamilton missed a month of action due to a sprained right wrist. He won’t participate in any pregame activities through the weekend, as he’ll give his wrist some time off. Hamilton’s struggles have continued as the season has progressed, as he’s hitting only .171 in the month of June and has a total batting line of .207/.262/.378 on the season. Still, he said that he can’t attribute his struggles entirely to the wrist injury. Asked how much the wrist issue might have affected his hitting, Hamilton said: "Not as much initially getting to hit, as far as the hitting part. It's the deceleration or swing and miss. Yeah, I wish I could blame it on that." In Hamilton’s absence, the Angels used Brad Hawpe in right field. Follow @mlbinjurynews Looking for fantasy baseball advice?

The ACC/SCN held its 27th Session at the World Bank in Washington DC last April. About 60 participants from NGOs, bilateral and UN agency were present for the afternoon meeting of the Working Group in Emergencies. The agenda included, among other topics, an update on research work among malnourished adults and nutritional problems faced by infants in emergencies. (Carlos Navarro, ACF-F Action Contre La Faim) Dr. Navarro presented a broad overview of some of the problems encountered when trying to treat severely malnourished adults in Burundi and Congo-Brazzaville, where ACF is undertaking an analysis of its operational (nutritional) programmes. The project in Burundi has been operating since [[phy_address]] 1,000 persons per month (including 700 adults) have been treated in 5 Therapeutic Feeding Centres (TFCs) in two provinces. The programme in Brazzaville began in July 1999, and has treated approximately 600 patients per month, including 400 adults, in 3 TFCs. The objective of the presentation was to present some of the operational dilemmas that arise. Emergency nutrition interventions aiming to address adult malnutrition, are becoming increasingly common practice in emergencies and there continues to be an enormous demand for information on diagnostic criteria, and protocol specifications. In summary, the following issues were highlighted as operational problems in ACF programmes: Criteria for assessment of acute adult malnutrition Medical management of patients in TFCs The high prevalence of both acute and chronic disease among malnourished adults poses a serious challenge in the management of adult malnutrition. The design of therapeutic feeding for adults must take into consideration some important medical issues. These include: An agency that wants to assist severely malnourished adults may therefore need to consider a complete revision of the strategy, objectives, training, and other means (including human) it usually puts in place to cope with severe malnutrition in emergencies. Oedema and refeeding oedema Treatment considerations HIV/AIDs Social considerations Prof. Michael Golden, University of Aberdeen Prof. Golden outlined a number of important problems/issues regarding infant nutrition. Issues about the inclusion of infants in nutritional surveys were covered in an article post-script written by Prof Golden in Field Exchange 9* and so will only be cursorily dealt with here. The main points about infants in nutritional surveys made in the presentation were that: Additional points raised by Golden about infant nutrition in emergencies included the following: Mother's diet Adult malnutrition Clarify issues relating to adult malnutrition including its definition, and operational intervention guidelines. Disseminate this information as widely as possible to agencies in need of support and guidance. Infant feeding issues Liaise with the Breastfeeding and Complementary Feeding Working Group in taking responsibility for further development of the operational guidance, management of the consultative process and coordination of dissemination. Improve the training of humanitarian staff on infant feeding practice. Advocate for the need of experts on infant feeding issues to be present at all emergencies from the outset.

Horrible ER Service – I was at this hospital's ER on 10/06/[[phy_address]] say I was very underwhelmed by the lack of concern and attention being paid to the patients along with the inability to provide information in a timely fashion. The nurses / caregivers all seemed to be on break as they stood in a huddle of 8 looking at pictures on a digital camera of a nurse who had just returned from vacation for approximately twenty minutes. However, they kept peeking behind the curtain to see if I was sitting on the bed of the patient. The next day we were given a follow up appointment in an office of at least 100 ppl in the waiting area. We decided to leave as the front desk person told us the wait to see the dr for our appointment would be at least three hours. We decided to request our medical records from teh B building as instructed so we could find a better hospital and were informed that the medical records had not yet been entered into the system because the ER staff hadn't gotten around to it and to check back in three weeks. I feel that if they actually worked while at work opposed to sharing pics on company time that maybe this important information could;ve been updated into the system. If you have an option in hospitals, please stay away from this one as their priorities are not first. AMAZING WORK! – My friends were speechless when they received these beautiful arrangements. It's not often that you take a chance on a recommendation and receive such fantastic results. The Kings County Hospital Center one of the largest, in NYC – The Kings County Hospital Center one of the largest, most prestigious hospitals in New York, with 600 beds & giving medical care to 100,000 patients yearly, should be accorded respect. Dedicated professionals who save the lives of thousands of people yearly. Excellent Floral Arrangements – I ordered flowers and the owner delivered them himself after hours! Excellent customer service. Nice selection of exotic flowers! Steer Clear if You Have a Psychiatric / Emotional Illness – This hospital had a bad reputation for questionable care back in the 70s, and it looks like things haven't changed in the interim: just today, to was reported a 49 yeard-old woman died waiting for care in the psychiatric emergency room and the surveilance cameras showed no one checking her for over an hour. This is after she went into seizures, fell off her chair and died. Do yourself a favor and have a list of hospitals in your wallet/purse you wish to be sent to in case of an emergency, especially a psychiatric one. Your life may depend on it. Kings County let a psychopath escape – They let a psychopath escape yesterday. Now who do you think the sociopath is harrassing now. What's worse, before they let the psycho go, they told the family that based on MY interview, they would make a determination about whether the psycho would be required to stay. The entire family called me telling me that I had to get the psycho out. But I knew the psycho really needed help. Now the person is out. Thanks Kings County!

The Door County Maritime Museum has a special event coming up that I’m sure I’ll be attending, being from Algoma and all. Why don’t you join me? Join us to hear Rochelle Pennington, the author of The Christmas Tree Ship. Pennington’s verbal presentation will focus on many of the little-known facts surrounding the story including the ship’s mysterious disappearance, clues washed ashore in the decades following the vessel’s demise, ghost ship sightings of the phantom schooner, and mysterious omens believed to have cursed the ship immediately before it set sail on its final voyage on November 22, 1912. Pennington’s power-point presentation will include many of the century-old photographs of Captain Schuenemann, his family, and the ship. In addition, the author will have several artifacts along with her to share with the audience: an axe used to chop trees down, dishes, a spittoon, a clay pipe, an ornament carved from one of the first Christmas trees raised from the sunken ship in 1971 when the vessel was discovered, and an actual Christmas tree from the cargo. Underwater photos of the ship in its present state, with trees still visible in the cargo area, will be on display as well. “Author Rochelle Pennington has written two books detailing one of the most well-known shipwrecks of the Great Lakes, Lake Michigan‘s Christmas Tree Ship, which delivered holiday evergreens to the citizens of Chicago each Chirstmas season before it was caught in the “Great Storm of 1912″ and subsequently went to the bottom of the lake fully loaded with trees.” She will be with us at 2:00 pm on June 24, 2012 at the Museum to do a presentation. Pennington will also be signing books. Copies of both Rochelle’s books, The Christmas Tree Ship: The Story of Captain Santa and The Historic Christmas Tree Ship: A True Story of Faith, Hope and Love are available in our Museum store.

Flooding along the Mississippi River is forcing some St. Charles County residents out of their homes. That's because the Lincoln-Shield levee along the Mississippi River was breached Monday evening. West Alton officials and the Rivers Pointe Fire Chief issued an alert about 8:30 p.m. advising residents to evacuate. The evacuation order is voluntary, not mandatory. The National Weather Service has issued flash flood warnings for eastern St. Charles County through 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. The weather service also warned that “residents living on streams and creeks should take immediate precautions.” The Missouri Highway Patrol reports that southbound Highway 67 was closed between the Clark Bridge and Highway 94 as a result of the flooding after a temporary barricade erected by MoDOT failed. Northbound 67 remains open at this hour.

Network World - Few companies get a chance at a second life. When John Chen signed on as CEO of Sybase in 1998, the database software vendor was, in Chen's own words, "a very, very dead company." Once a strong competitor to Oracle, Sybase had lost its way, in part because it missed the opportunity to enter the enterprise application market Oracle now leads. Read other interviews from this series. Over the next decade, through the efforts of Chen and his team, Sybase turned around and reinvented itself as an enabler of the "unwired enterprise." Then, in mid-May, enterprise software giant SAP signed a merger agreement with Sybase, citing Sybase's leadership in both mobile and in real-time analytics. Since the merger announcement, Sybase has not granted interviews to the press. But in March, before rumors about the merger began circulating, John Gallant, chief content officer for IDG, and Eric Knorr, editor in chief of InfoWorld, sat down with Chen for an hour-long chat as part of the IDG Enterprise CEO Interview Series. The interview explored how Chen was able to rescue Sybase from the brink and establish the company as a key mobile enterprise player. This abbreviated version of the interview focuses on the company's mobile business and insights. To hear the complete interview, which goes much more in-depth on Sybase's history and analytics business, listen to the interview in its entirety: Listen: Gallant: You've got a pretty interesting and diverse product set. You have the database, analytics, mobile management tools and mobile tools that are pretty widely deployed among the service providers. Help us understand how all of those different technologies fit into one cohesive strategy that makes Sybase unique. Chen: Sybase traditionally has been an infrastructure software provider to the enterprise. We started as a client-server database company and then moved into development toolsets when we acquired PowerSoft. And after I came on board, we continued to develop our database. Gradually, we positioned ourselves in high-growth areas, like analytics, mobile middleware and mobile services. And how we envision that it all comes together is that we believe mobile enterprise computing is going to be the next really big thing. If you think that e-commerce was a big sea change in the early 2000s, m-commerce will make e-commerce a very small thing. M-commerce reaches almost the majority of 6 billion people around the world. Knorr: What characterizes an enterprise mobile service as opposed to a consumer service? Chen: Applications must talk to applications; machines must talk to machines. There has to be intelligence gathering, mobile analytics, real-time reporting, all these things. We could be a leader in providing those kinds of infrastructures. It starts with back-end infrastructure in a data center to people sitting here with a device. When you talk about the database, there are many aspects of it. An OLTP database sitting underneath applications and collecting records. That's a database. Data warehousing, analytics. That's a database. A database could be an embedded persistent store in the field, like if you're driving a truck, with a FedEx machine, or in U.S. Navy or Army deployment units -- they have on-board computers. That's an embedded database. So to us a database doesn't really conjure up the image of a dark room and lights blinking. It's that plus many, many things. And we really do believe in [a mobile] persistent store. Five years ago, that was a laughable subject, because there wasn't enough capacity, there wasn't enough battery to sustain it. Well, five years have gone by and things have changed quite a bit. Things like the iPad are coming out. Who knows what the next two generations of the iPad are going to be like? I mean this is not only an Apple story. How does an enterprise take advantage of all these technologies? How do we manage these things? What about security concerns, about who's going to use what to see what? And how do we build intelligence in? I'm holding a device. I'm as good as what you tell me, right? Well, how do I know what you want, at what time? You can go on Amazon and they remember the history of your preferences and tell you what you ought to be buying next. That's just the beginning. You have to be able to deliver that information in a remote way. And all these applications, they have to be able to talk to each other agnostically. You may have an iPhone and somebody else has a BlackBerry and somebody else has an iPad. Somebody else is staring at a TV; somebody else is looking at the voice-over-IP devices on my desk from Cisco. How does that all come together? Unified communication is the software architecture that's going to bring it through. We'd like to be a participant in that. And that's why we invest in messaging; that's why we invest in how to channel content. That's why we invest in how you manage devices; that's why we invest in all the encrypting of that information that goes over the airwaves. And that's why we invest in analytics, and that's how it ties back to what our core strength has been. Gallant: That's quite a mouthful. How do you roll all that together? Chen: To us, this is the unwired enterprise concept: Having a layer of architecture that translates to products and services that people can actually deploy and employ. Not the entire stack, a layer of the stack. You could use my analytics engine over an Oracle database. You could put my services engine over any other company's engine, maintaining an open heterogeneous computing environment, which was the principle of Sybase to start with. So that's how it all ties in. Knorr: You led the company into the mobile space very early. What did you see that other people weren't seeing?

Fashion Bloggers Do it Better (Summer Edition) #FBDIB2 recap On Thursday, June 26th, I was invited to be a part of the “Fashion Blogger’s Do it Better (Summer Edition)” event. I was thrilled and flattered but never nervous for some reason. I was a bystander at the first bash back in March, but this time I was one of the 15 fashion bloggers that got to walk the runway. I wore two Sweet, Savvy looks from Shop Guy and Girl and Furor. My hair was hurting from the high bun that Cutler Salon created, but it came out fabulous! Of course, my outfits wouldn’t be complete without makeup, my red lips and long lashes were courtesy of the Beauty for Real team. The energy before and then, after the show was amazing. It was a great feeling to be surrounded by fellow fashionista’s who are obsessed with fashion as much as me. I feel like this is the network that I need to be in and Annie Vazquez, Simonett Pereira and Eugy Alliegro have done a great job thus far expanding the fashion network in the Miami community. Huge kudos to you girls for putting on a fabulous event!
. 55° Nearby Two Men Pose As Police Officers and Enter Petaluma House The two suspected entered a home on [[phy_address]] and told the resident that they were San Jose police officers. Posted by Michelle Mowad (Editor) , Petaluma police have issued a prowler alert after two men posing as San Jose police officers entered a woman's home through an unlocked front door around 6 p.m. Thursday. One of the two Hispanic males told the 66-year-old female resident in the [[phy_address]] that they were San Jose police officers and he was checking on her welfare, Sgt. Steve Nelson said. The two men showed the women identification that the woman immediately suspected was fake, Nelson said. When the woman called the Petaluma police's dispatch center to report the suspicious suspects, one of the men got on the phone and told the dispatcher he was checking on the woman's welfare and then hung up, Nelson said. The two suspects then left in a white, newer-model extended cab pickup truck with blue stripes near the bumper, Nelson said. When contacted, San Jose police said they did not have any officers in the Petaluma area, Nelson said. Police are advising residents to keep their doors locked at all times, and to ask to see a picture identification when contacted by officers in plain clothes. Both suspects are 30-40 years old, 5 feet 7 inches, 155 pounds with black hair and brown eyes, Nelson said. Anyone with information is asked to call Officer Robert Barnes at 707-778-4372.

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - George Beamon's three-point play in the final second and game-high 28 points helped the Manhattan Jaspers edge out fellow New York City rival the Columbia Lions, 71-70, at Levien Gymnasium. Beamon shot 6-of-9 from the field, including 3-of-3 from 3-point range, and made 13-of-14 from the free-throw stripe in a standout performance for the Jaspers (2-0). Shane Richards scored 19 points off the bench, making 6-of-8 from beyond the arc. Grant Mullins led the Lions (1-1) with 23 points, including a perfect 8-for-8 from the foul line in an effort that fell just short. Cory Osetkowski cashed in 11 points and four rebounds. Beamon and Richards each ended the first half with 15 points apiece to give Manhattan a three-point edge at intermission, 38-35. In a tight second-half battle, a Mullins' 3-pointer with 51 seconds remaining pushed the Lions ahead until the game's final second. The winning play resulted after Beamon secured an offensive rebound, scored on the putback and drew a foul. The forward sank the game-winning free throw to complete the three-point play, giving the Jaspers a narrow victory. Although Columbia dominated in the paint, notching 36 points to Manhattan's 13, the Jaspers got 26 points off their bench and lit it up from beyond the arc, where they shot 10-for-12. Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Butler University has completed an 11-game football schedule for this year by adding a fifth home game against Taylor University on Sept. 20. Kevin Harvick became the eighth different pole winner in as many Sprint Cup Series races this season after posting the fastest lap in the final round of Friday's knockout-style qualifying for the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. Give the NFL credit, it has managed to turn a necessary, often pedantic exercise into an annual event which people actually care about. Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Mark Trumbo has been placed on the 15-day disabled list because of a stress fracture in his left foot. It's not much of an upset if a fifth seed moves on to the semifinals of the NBA playoffs because it's generally an even matchup. Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Steve Mason will be the starter for Friday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against the New York Rangers.

This is a skirt I designed and drafted in college for Volcom for a junior year project. Since then, it’s been tweaked and refined a bit, and I decided to test it out with a few different materials. First in beige wool, which puts more emphasis on the form of the skirt (styled with the Sorbetto tank in silk), then in lambskin+wool (styled with the JJ blouse in chiffon). As you can see, mixing fabrics gives a much more dramatic effect in this case.

Massachusetts-based artist Aliza Razell creates tickling self-portraits that explore philosophical abstractions through the merged mediums of watercolour and photography. Using Photoshop, Razell unites the two mediums in her Anesidora (explorations of the Pandora’s Box myth) and Ikävä (the Finnish word meaning the feeling of longing) series. "Most of the intelligence community doesn’t believe he exists. The ones who do call him ‘the Winter Soldier…’" finally got around to doing it. please don’t remove the caption or the watermark. please do not steal and repost thanks and hope you like it "Shane Mahan, Physical Suit Effects Supervisor at Legacy Effects describes the process of creating the Winter Soldier’s arm from a life-cast of actor Sebastian Stan. ‘First, we do an exact mold of the actor’s arm for the size and the dimension, and then we do a casting out of that. But we also took him to get a 3D scan of his arm, so we had digital information as well as a hard, real-world casting to work from. We took the designs from Ryan Meinerding’s design team, and then one of our digital artists here — Won-Il Song — created a digital sculpture.’" "Legacy created two versions of the Winter Soldier’s arm. ‘We made one from foam rubber with tracking markers on it for extreme action," Mahan says. "And then there were these arms made of urethane that were metalized and had less action mobility, but for certain shots looked reflective and really great.’" According to Sebastian, in this video, the arm was “very heavy, and not easily moveable — but it looks better”, and the other arm was more lightweight and flexible. He used the heavier, better looking arm for most of the shots, only using the lighter one when needed. (He said it was a big confidence boost.) Sebastian also mentions spending around 6-7 months training for the role, working for almost half that time with Chris Evans on choreography. On the other hand, no one can convince me that the Bucky/Tony ship, should it exist, should be called anything other than Winter is Coming. \|—\|\| \| Lydia’s almost last words (after she found out that starbucks was an alternate name for stucky and right before some maniac almost ran us over while crossing the street.)

New Jersey officials welcomed news Tuesday evening of the U.S. House of Representatives approving a $50.7 billion Superstorm Sandy aid package. The proposals, which include $17 billion in immediate disaster relief funds for New Jersey and nearby states, were approved following hours of debate and after criticism from tri-state area officials who blasted Congress for failing to act quickly enough following the storm. “We are grateful to those members of Congress who today pulled together in a unified, bipartisan coalition to assist millions of their fellow Americans in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut at their greatest time of need,” Gov. Chris Christie said in a joint statement with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy. “The tradition of Congress being there and providing support for Americans during times of crisis, no matter where they live across this great country, lives on in today’s vote in the House of Representatives,” they said. “We anticipate smooth passage when this package moves back to the Senate for final approval and for this long-awaited relief to finally make its way to our residents.” U.S. Sens. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) and Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) also issued a joint statement along with fellow New York Democratic senators. “It's great news for families, communities and small businesses in our region that the House – after weeks of delay - finally passed an emergency relief bill for Superstorm Sandy,” the statement reads. “Our region extends a helping hand any time another community suffers from a major disaster, and we're pleased that the House voted to provide this emergency relief for New Jersey and New York,” they said. “As we rebuild, we are committed to making smart investments to ensure that our transportation networks, beach communities, businesses and local neighborhoods can rebuild stronger so that they are better prepared for future storms.” State lawmakers echoed the comments. “It was wrong that it took so long to get to this point, but I’m gratified the House finally did the right thing to help those still struggling in New Jersey to put their homes and businesses back together after Sandy. I'd like to thank New Jersey's delegation for all their hard work to get this done,” Speaker Sheila Oliver said in a statement. The Democratic speaker criticized GOP lawmakers for taking nearly 80 days to vote on the aid package. “It’s a shame New Jersey was forced to wait while House Republicans played politics, but at least this hurdle has been cleared,” she said. “It’s what New Jersey residents and business owners deserve to help get back on their feet as quickly as possible.” The proposal now heads to the Senate for a vote. Rolled out this week as the finance chair of Assemblywoman Bonnie Watson Coleman's (D-15) 12th District Congressional Campaign, Trenton attorney Lionel "Lonnie" Kaplan arrives with an unusual asterisk alongside his public endorsement record for someone burnished as a Democratic Primary weapon.Read More > Fulop endorses Smith in Bayonne mayoral raceBAYONNE - Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop parachuted into the Bayonne mayoral race on Thursday night by endorsing incumbent Mayor Mark Smith."It is a pleasure to be with you here, Mark," said Fulop to a crowd of more than 125 supporters at a...

Unfortunately, The Partridge Family is not going to air on the weekday line-up, but something is better than nothing. We still get 6 hours a week (12 episodes) with the weekend play. The series is complete on DVD, but it hasn't been nationally on television since it aired on i TV (now known as ION Television) in Fall 2006. Partridge Family comes from Sony Pictures Television, the same as their previous sitcom addition, Who's the Boss?, so maybe a deal with Sony was made? Just speculating. Since TV Land lost rights to The Brady Bunch, it would be nice if Hallmark picked that up and paired it with Partridge. But with all the Martha Stewart programming coming (weekdays 10am-6pm) to Hallmark Channel in September, we wonder what will happen to the current sitcoms (The Golden Girls, Who's the Boss?, I Love Lucy, MASH, and now Partridge Family)? We'll let you know as soon as we know, but I think they will remain, but will obviously have to move some timeslots. Stay with us for further updates and we're happy that Hallmark is airing sitcoms! UPDATE 6:30PM ET: We got an email from The Hallmark Channel and Darren Melameth, VP of Scheduling says: "As long as there is viewer demand for The Partridge Family, Who's the Boss, MASH, Cheers, I Love Lucy, and The Golden Girls, we will continue to have a place on the network for these enduring sitcoms for years to come." Sounds good to me! Stay with us for more. TV Land launches the much hyped and anticipated sitcom Hot in Cleveland tonight at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, with an immediate encore at 10:30 p.m. and again later at 1:00 a.m. So, you have three chances tonight. Hot In Cleveland revolves around three fabulous best friends from LA – novelist Melanie Moretti (Valerie Bertinelli), eye-brow archer to the stars Joy Scroggs (Jane Leeves) and former soap star Victoria Chase (Wendie Malick) - who find their lives changed forever when their plane, headed for Paris, makes an unexpected landing. When the friends discover that they are hot in Cleveland, they decide to stay. Starting over, they rent a house that happens to come with a very feisty caretaker (Betty White). On the premiere episode airing tonight, three best friends from Los Angeles (hopeless romantic MELANIE, cynical businesswoman JOY, and aging actress VICTORIA) are flying to Paris when their plane makes an emergency landing in Cleveland. Realizing that all the norms from Los Angeles don't apply anymore and thrilled with the new possibilities available to them, they decide to celebrate a city that values real women and stay where they're still considered hot... And in addition to the star-studded ensemble cast of its first original sitcom, Hot in Cleveland, there will be plenty of special guest stars in the 10-episode season including Wayne Knight (Seinfeld/3rd Rock from the Sun), Shirley Knight (As Good As It Gets), Huey Lewis (Just Shoot Me!), Hal Linden (Barney Miller), Susan Lucci (All My Children), Juliet Mills (Nanny and the Professor), Carl Reiner (The Dick Van Dyke Show), John Schneider (Dukes of Hazzard) and Amy Yasbeck (Wings). Will the premiere be the highest rated airing EVER on TV Land? The buzz is certainly there and Betty White has shown her magic in recent months in the Nielsens. Tune in and sample it at least because it looks good and it could beat the networks in the 10 p.m. half-hour tonight.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - JPMorgan Chase & Co., already beset by other costly legal woes, has agreed to pay $1.7 billion to settle criminal charges accusing the bank of ignoring obvious warning signs of Bernard Madoff's massive Ponzi scheme, federal authorities said Tuesday. The settlement includes a so-called deferred prosecution agreement that requires the bank to acknowledge failures in its protections against money laundering but also allows it to avoid criminal charges. No individual executives were accused of wrongdoing. The deal was similar to one reached in late 2012 with the British bank HSBC, which agreed to pay $1.9 billion to settle claims it laundered money for Iran, Libya and Mexico's murderous drug cartels. Some observers called the HSBC settlement an example of the government stopping short of bringing criminal charges against a big bank or its executives because such prosecutions could be devastating enough to cause such institutions to fail. JPMorgan was Madoff's primary bank in the later years of a multi-decade fraud that ended in 2008 when he revealed to the FBI that his investment advisory business was a Ponzi scheme. Account statements for thousands of clients showing $60 billion in assets were fiction. Of the roughly $17.5 billion in principal that was real, most of it was gone. Since then, a court-appointed trustee has recovered more than $9.5 billion to redistribute to burned clients. The trustee sued JPMorgan for $6.4 billion in 2010, accusing the bank of being "wilfully blind" and "thoroughly complicit" in the fraud, but an appeals court found in 2012 that he had no legal standing to make the claim. The JPMorgan settlement is the latest in a series of major deals reached by JPMorgan to resolve its legal troubles. In November, the bank agreed to pay $13 billion over risky mortgage securities it sold before the financial crisis â€” the largest settlement to date between the Justice Department and a corporation. JPMorgan still has several lawsuits pending against it related to the high-risk mortgage bonds that soured after the housing market collapsed in 2007. There's also an ongoing criminal investigation led by the office of U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner in Sacramento, Calif. The bank may be negotiating or litigating over the issue for years and has set aside $23 billion to cover those costs. JPMorgan told regulators in a filing in October that it may need as much as $5.7 billion more. Madoff, 75, pleaded guilty and is serving a 150-year prison term.

Agricultural economist Jake Ferris of Michigan State University sparked further interest in the ongoing debate about the net energy gains vs. net losses of corn ethanol production in his op-ed piece for the Lansing Journal. Ferris sided firmly with the net energy gain faction, despite the energy content (BTUs) of pure ethanol (E-100) being only two thirds that of gasoline. He cited the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) June 2010 report, where their research found that every BTU of petroleum energy used to create ethanol resulted in 2.3 BTUs of corn ethanol being produced. Not bad, and that is just from corn grain. How did the USDA come up with such great improvement in corn-ethanol processing efficiency? Ferris claims that the calculations in the study factored in the reuse of waste materials, such as distiller's dried grain with solubles. This byproduct can be used as livestock feed, diminishing the use of gasoline, processing, transportation, and irrigation involved in producing the feed independently. This accounts for the big increase in productivity. The USDA appears to allocate the energy it would have used to produce the feed toward the energy used to produce the corn ethanol. An article at consumerenergyreport.com (titled “Fun with Numbers”) provides a more thorough explanation of the USDA's accounting. This article shows that some advances have been made, but takes issue with the USDA's 1:2.3 ratio of energy production. The USDA figures also do not factor in water consumption for the ethanol production process. Even Ferris states that while he believes both ethanol and biodiesel can have positive effects, these effects are difficult to measure. Claims regarding lifecycle emissions are not easy to measure due to the sheer number of variables, but the USDA report claims it does just that. More analysis is needed. Here's to looking at cellulosic ethanol.

AFC Bournemouth: Mixed feelings for Howe after Blues defeat 6:00am Monday 16th December 2013 in Sport By Neil Perrett BOSS Eddie Howe was torn between contentment and frustration after Cherries had finished empty handed despite their endeavours against Birmingham on Saturday. Rampant Cherries fashioned no fewer than 24 shots compared with the visitors' tally of four but were sunk by first-half goals from Andy Shinnie and Nikola Zigic. Howe said: “It was a difficult one to sum up because, overall, I thought we were excellent. We conceded two really poor goals and, with the first one being so early, it was difficult to recover. We were very confident coming into the game and, had it not been for the early goal, I felt we would have won comfortably. “We did everything but score. We were the dominant team and probably dominated every statistic going except the main one. The number of shots we had showed how dominant we were. "Although they had something to hold on to, I felt everything would have turned on one goal and was quite confident we would go on to win the game. But it didn't come and that was the frustrating thing. “I wouldn't change much about the performance because I thought the level was very high. If we were to give that level of performance over 10 games, we would probably win nine of them. We just have to keep sticking to what we do and improve our decision-making in key areas. “We were disappointed not to score but I thought there were lots of positives. The immediate feeling was one of disappointment but results can cloud everyone's perception of what they see. In the main, I thought the players were very good and couldn't fault any of them.” Howe named an unchanged starting line-up following Cherries' stunning 2-1 victory at Reading but looked on as they suffered a fifth home defeat of the season. He added: “We don't want to lose any home games and, to lose five, is disappointing especially when we feel we could have done better in those games and the results probably don't justify how we have played. “But teams will do their homework, look at how you play and try to find ways to stop you. The pleasing thing was we created lots of chances and I think that bodes well. I was more concerned after the Bolton game when we didn't really create a chance. That was more disturbing for me. “We went to Reading and QPR and had 16 shots apiece in those games and another [[phy_address]] Birmingham. They are great signs for me because, if you are creating chances, you will back the players you have to take them.” Comments (5) Please log in to enable comment sorting 10:10am Mon 16 Dec 13 North stand badger says... s/Pitman combinations depending on form and tactics but it is the biggest area of weakness for us and we need to find a way to capitalise on our brilliant build up play 10:14am Mon 16 Dec 13 threesidedrectangle says... Who is doing homework for us? Rantie and Thomas must go. Work rate is all good and well if chances are created AND put away. We really need a strong creative defensive midfielder because Pugh, Ritchie, Fraser, Arter and O'Kane across the middle just isn't working.

I just hope we have some cash to splash in Jan for defensive midfielder and two strikers. Thomas has to go and I really can't see Rantie cutting it. 10:15am Mon 16 Dec 13 Solentcherry says...

January 19, 2005 Category: Report Shows Voters Support Legislators Who Oppose Discrimination 'Voting against discrimination is good policy and good politics,' said HRC National Field Director Seth Kilbourn. WASHINGTON - Ninety-four percent of state legislators who opposed discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in 2004 state legislatures were not hurt politically by their votes, according to a new study released today by the Human Rights Campaign and the Equality Federation. "Voting against discrimination is good policy and good politics," said Seth Kilbourn, HRC's national field director. "Anyone trying to score political points by discriminating against same-sex couples should be put on notice. Prejudice does not win at the polls." News reports leading up to and following the 2004 elections indicated that same-sex marriage rights may have cost legislators their seats, as many voters went to the polls on "moral values." This new study, "Standing Up For Equality: A Winning Strategy for State Legislators," demonstrates that state legislators of both parties who voted against these measures were overwhelmingly re-elected in nearly every corner of the country. "This study is a reminder that people who support equality for all families and couples are also moral values voters," said Toni Broaddus, executive director of the Equality Federation. "As the debate about how to protect all families continues in the states, legislators would be wise to keep this lesson in mind." Among its findings, the study concluded: ﾴIn November 2004, 640 state legislators were up for re-election in 22 of 28 states with constitutional amendments and resolutions that dealt specifically with the right of same-sex couples to marry. ﾴOf the 640 legislators for whom the issue of marriage could have factored into their election, 604, or 94 percent, won. ﾴIn the races of the [[phy_address]] the legislator's vote against discrimination was cited as a factor in only 11 races. Only 1.7 percent of state legislators running for re-election lost their race because of their vote against banning marriage for same-sex couples. ﾴNinety-four percent of legislators who voted against discrimination were re-elected. This re-election rate is consistent with or higher than the average rate of re-election for all state legislators, which is 90 percent for state house incumbents and 92 percent for state senate incumbents.

You can grow pineapples in almost any climate that isn't too cold, and the most difficult part of the process is getting the pineapple rooted. At most, pineapple plants produce two fruits during their lifetime, and require ample space to do so (a fruit-bearing tree will need to be six feed tall and across), so you should carefully plan the site beforehand. Less space means a smaller fruit (or no fruit at all), and it's difficult to get the plant to bear a fruit when grown in a pot. You can get your fruit from a local grocery store: you should look for healthy, green leaves (not brown), and a fruit with a brown shell (green is bad), paying attention to the base of the leaves, since they sometimes harbor scale insects that will prevent your plant from growing healthy. Before we start I'll give you a piece of advice: you should plant more than one pineapple, since some of them are bound to die, rot, or grow not healthy enough to produce fruit. Three crowns is about right! One of the most important steps in growing pineapple is crown preparation: grab hold of the top leaves and twist the whole group..the top should come off with a bit of stalk. Some people prefer cutting a slice off the top of the fruit, but you will have to manually remove all the surrounding flesh, or your plant will rot and die before rooting. After this, carefully cut small slices off the bottom of the stalk, until you can see a circular pattern of brownish dots in its outermost part (see the picture): these dots are root buds and should be handled with care! Now strip around ten leaves off the bottom part, the purpose being to bare the stalk. You may see small roots already forming: try not to damage them. The prepared crown should then be left to dry for a couple of days: this allows for leaf scars to heal and greatly reduces the probability of the plant rotting. There are several ways to go about this: some people prefer planting the stalk right away, others allow for the roots to grow larger before planting. I have tried both methods and the second one definitely produces better plants with stronger, healthier roots. You should keep the stalk in a glass of water, refreshing the water every two days, for about three weeks. The perfect place is away from direct sunlight or temperature extremes of any kind. After about 20 days, you should see healthy roots starting to form. At this point, your pineapple can be planted: the best soil is a Bromeliad or Cactus Potting Soil, with a third perlite. You can also plant it in a clay pot, at least eight-inches, with bottom drainage. Some gardeners like putting two inches of stones in the bottom part of the pot, before poutting in the soil. It is recommended but not necessary. So to summarize: pick a clay pot, layer two inches of stones on the bottom, add in the soil and a third perlite, then plant the stalk, water it thoroughly and place it where it will have plenty of sunlight exposure. The correct amount of water will keep the soil moist (try not to make it too wet or the plant will rot). It should definitely never be dry. Wait for about two months without fertilizing, keeping a good level of moisture and making sure the plant has access to sunlight. At this point, the plant should have roots strong enough to support itself: you can verify this by gently tugging the top of the pineapple and checking for their presence: at this point either the roots have formed, or the plant is rotting. In case it's rotting, you should replace the pineapple top with a new one, and be more careful not to over water it. If the plant is healthy, its old leaves will slowly start dying and turning brown, while new, green leaves start growing at the center: your next duty is to gradually remove the dying leaves over the course of a year, watering the plant once a week. This phase will last for about a year, after which you should repot the plant. Your healthy plant should be repotted in a twelve inch clay pot, with draining holes at the bottom, in the same type of soil we used in the beginning: be sure to use the two-inch layer of stones here, since we don't want the plant to rot after all this work! You should pour in enough soil up to half an inch from the top, and pat it down gently. Be sure to firm it up especially around the base of the crown. At this point, the most likely cause of failure comes from rotting, which is itself caused by either overwatering or underdrainage: be sure the drainage holes are functioning properly and only water once a week. You should be noticing significant growth in the plant, except maybe during the cold season (winter). If the plant doesn't seem to grow, especially in summer and spring, you should examine its roots and make sure it's not rotting, possibly removing the old soil and replacing it with a fresh mix. As the plant grows, optimum results can only be expected by planting it outside, or in an even larger pot: remember it will have to be six feet tall and across to produce large fruits! Pineapple plants are suited for tropical climates and cold will kill them: if you live in a very cold region you should consider planting it indoors, into a very large pot, and if you live in a temperate climate try to protect it from the cold winter. A good temperature is about 65 - 75 degrees F (minimum of 60 degrees), which happens to be just about right for humans (e.g. a good temperature for you is also good for your plant). The plant should only be watered once a week, making sure the drainage is efficient, and fertilizer should be applied once a month. Make sure it has access to sunlight for at least six hours a day, or 14 hours if you use indoor lamps. If you followed my instructions, you plant shouldn't suffer too many diseases. The most likely pests it will encounter are scale, mites and mealy bugs, and they can all be taken care of by washing the leaves with water and soap, or by using a good insecticide. Sometimes, plants are colonized by fungi, which cause heart rot. You can diagnose it by watching the central leases, which turn black. In this case, you can try saving the plant by pouring a fungicide into the heart of the plant. If you succeeded, a side shoot will grow and form a new plant. It takes about twenty to twenty-six months to produce a ripe fruit: when the plant is twelve to fourteen months old, an inflorescence bud will begin to form in its center. The fruit will be visible only two months later, with the appearance of a bright red cone. After about twenty months, blue flowers start opening open row by row, starting at the bottom, over a period of about two weeks (flower development in Hawaii typically occurs in late December or January when the days are short (about 10.5 hours) and the nights are cool (55 to 65 F; about 13 to 18 C)). A typical lifespan for a flower is only one day! The fruit begins to grow after the last flower has dried: after waiting 4-5 months from now, you should see your fruit starting to ripen, beginning from the bottom. You should harvest your pineapple when it's about half ripe: if you allowed for plenty of space for the plant's roots it should be about the size of a can. If your plant is still not producing fruit, there are tricks to force it: lay the plant and pot on its side between waterings, as this causes the production of ethylene, which induces flowering. An alternative is using ethylene produced by ripe and bruised apples: place the plant in a bag with an apple for two weeks, keeping it in a shady location, and only move it back into sunlight after the two weeks have passed. A thid alternative consists of using calcium carbide: place a small lump, the size of your fingernail, together with a quarter cup of water, in the center of the plant. You can find calcium carbide in a garden store or pharmacy. All of these technique work best over a period of 2-3 months, after which the plant should have flowered.
Maxiell was a real positive tonight. His defense and rebounding kept the Thunder at bay. \|Tayshaun Prince, SF 40 MIN \| 4-12 FG \| 3-5 FT \| 6 REB \| [[phy_address]] \| 12 PTS \| +3 \| He didn’t shoot that well, but he’s finally impacting game in more ways than just scoring. If he keeps this up, his shooting percentage won’t be such an issue. \|Greg Monroe, C 34 MIN \| 7-14 FG \| 3-4 FT \| 6 REB \| [[phy_address]] \| 17 PTS \| -2 \| It says something about Monroe’s development that he can have 17 points, six rebounds and two assists without it being one of his better games. I liked his defensive instincts, though, as Monroe took some well-timed gambles for steals. \|Brandon Knight, PG 32 MIN \| 2-13 FG \| 2-2 FT \| 4 REB \| [[phy_address]] \| 8 PTS \| -1 \| Shot terribly and made poor decisions down the stretch. I still think Knight can become an NBA point guard, but games like this will give his doubters plenty of ammo. \|Rodney Stuckey, PG 41 MIN \| 7-13 FG \| 4-6 FT \| 3 REB \| [[phy_address]] \| 19 PTS \| -4 \| This was Stuckey’s best game of the season, and he had a couple confident drives for baskets late that kept the game close. Still, he didn’t do enough to reverse what has been an underwhelming year so far. \|Jonas Jerebko, PF 19 MIN \| 1-6 FG \| 1-1 FT \| 4 REB \| [[phy_address]] \| 3 PTS \| -10 \| Missed a lot of shots and wasn’t terribly sharp defensively. This wasn’t his night. \|Kyle Singler, SF 16 MIN \| 3-5 FG \| 1-2 FT \| 3 REB \| [[phy_address]] \| 9 PTS \| -5 \| Played fine offensively in limited minutes. \|Andre Drummond, C 13 MIN \| 2-3 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 6 REB \| [[phy_address]] \| 4 PTS \| 0 \| Drummond might have had his best defensive game of the season and his athleticism helped the Pistons get a couple extra loose balls, which make it all the more curious he didn’t get more minutes. The reason was probably Jason Maxiell’s strong play, and Lawrence Frank was correct to reward Maxiell. But that’s why I wish Maxiell wasn’t on the team. The Pistons need to develop Drummond more than they need to use Maxiell to stay competitive in their eighth consecutive loss. Frank shouldn’t be in the position to decide between the two, because we all know he, like most coaches, will choose the more immediate impact. \|Will Bynum, PG 17 MIN \| 2-7 FG \| 1-1 FT \| 0 REB \| [[phy_address]] \| 5 PTS \| +2 \| Shot poorly, passed well. This was Bynum changing perception, but not altering the result. \|Lawrence Frank, HEAD COACH \| Think Frank wants to end the talk about his slow starts? He played his starters a combined 177 minutes tonight — more than any other game this season. The Pistons need a victory, but when you bet on it coming tonight and lose, it’s problematic. The Pistons’ bench is mostly comprised of young players who need experience to develop. They didn’t get that experience tonight, and Detroit didn’t get a win, either. That falls on Frank. Most Valuable Player Russell Westbrook. Though he will take flack for attempting a game-high 25 shots, Westbrook (33 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, three steals) was aggressive on a night most of his teammates lacked energy. X-Factor Kevin Durant scored 11 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter – and added four rebounds and four blocks in the period – waking up just in time to save Oklahoma City from an embarrassing loss. Defining moment The Thunder blocked shots on the Pistons’ first three possessions of the fourth quarter, and Oklahoma City opened the period with a 13-0 run to take the lead. The Thunder were cold most of the game, but when they buckled down, Detroit was mostly helpless. Takeaway The Pistons played fine for the first three quarters – and for Detroit, fine is divine – but the Thunder were playing their second of a back-to-back and fourth game in five days. It was impressive that the Pistons could build a double-digit lead on Oklahoma City in any circumstance, but it’s not terribly surprising that they blew it. The Thunder are simply a level or two above Detroit right now. Nov 12, 2012 • 10:31 pm by Al Great effort, dont like the rotations!! Maxiell was great defensive wise and he sits while Jerebko is in for a long stretch in the 4th qtr. The entire second unit sits until the start of the 4th when they played so well early on. Drummond sits super early in the 4th after impacting the game!!!!!!!!! And does not come back in. Where’s English all of sudden??????? I mean wow man, just wow. Why not gradually sub hot players that help put you up instead of letting them get ice cold and throw them back in when you are down, what gives….? - Nov 13, 2012 • 7:51 am by Coach Frank Postgame What would firing me do? Yeah you might hire another coach thats taller than me, he might even make better use of the talent on the team, he might even command more respect from the players, heck he might even had played the game on a college or professional level…. But HE WONT HAVE MY PROCESS!!! Nov 12, 2012 • 10:36 pm by vic English could have helped on Westbrook, being a defensive specialist and all. I would have sat Knight for a bit. I know its armchair coaching, but hey… he’s on the team for a reason. We all know the tools that are available to the team, so its kinda reasonable if not easy. Nov 12, 2012 • 10:39 pm by Rodman4Life Very enjoyable game (except that early stretch in the 4th). Loved the effort, the ball movement, and even the resilience later in the fourth when the Pistons fought back. If that late three goes for Knight, who knows. But one complaint: I know this and no future team is the Bad Boys, and I don’t expect them to be. But when he keeps barreling down the lane time and time again, can somebody put Westbrook on his back? You don’t have to try and maul the guy, but let him know you’re there. - Nov 12, 2012 • 10:44 pm by theicon77 I agree with the Westbrook comment. I can’t be that upset with the outcome though. We are young and it shows for stretches. That first 4 minutes of the fourth was pretty bad. - Nov 12, 2012 • 11:15 pm by Vince This! I was expecting Big Ben to appear from nowhere and just knock him down. This team needs some toughness. Knight had a bit of it tonight, but as a whole, this team needs to be mean. Nov 12, 2012 • 10:41 pm by kamal For the life of me, I don’t understand why he kept Maxiell in the game so long. He was obviously making a difference on defense and Jerebko was doing absolutely nothing but watching Westbrook run down the lane and score. I don’t see why he continues to give Bynum the greenlight to shoot away leads. He doesn’t make adjustments at all. No matter who sticks Monroe down low, he continues to let the guards run the same motion offense. Collison was on him and he barely got the ball. Then, I almost had a cow when Brooks put Durant on him down the stretch and he barely touched the ball. I can take losing. I was around during the teal years. But this is ridiculous. - - Nov 12, 2012 • 11:02 pm by Vince I like that. Can that be a new thing? Like, a section dedicated to What The Frank every game of something? - - Nov 13, 2012 • 7:26 am by Coach Frank Postgame 0-8 doesnt mean we are giving up on this season and looking towards the draft.last year we started 4-16, and once before I started 0-16. I could very easily put a balanced rotation on the floor but then what? After we win some games and the team feel good about themselves, what they have really learned? Nov 12, 2012 • 10:42 pm by 0-8... I’m sorry but Frank needs to adjust his rotations. Drummond needs to start despite Maxiells contributions in the starting lineup. Maxiell always seems to have a good stat line but after watching some games I can see that he would be better coming off the bench. Prince looks completely unmotivated at times and needs to go to a contending team. Let Charlie and Daye expire and let them go. Continue to develop Knight Stuckey Jerebko/Singler Monroe and Drummond. This team looks completely helpless its so sad what a fall from greatness - Nov 13, 2012 • 7:32 am by Coach Frank Postgame It starts in practice, thats when the rotation and minutes are won. Maxiell during his contract year has worked really really hard, thats not normal effort from guys in their contract year, and although Prince is limited offensively and defensives, but he is reliable. I trust him on the floor plus he has the BEST PUMP FAKE IN BASKETBALL, those are the things you cant replace. Along with his production 4-[[phy_address]] in 40 mins, that type of production is not easily replaced Nov 12, 2012 • 10:45 pm by starlight0997 Initial thoughts on the game. 1. Front court defense could be stout as the season progresses. Maxiell played very well on the low post with those three blocks. The back court defense on the other hand, I’m just about to say it is a lost cause. Although Westbrook shot 25 times, he was able to blow by the Piston guards at will most of the time, only to be bailed out by the front court defense. 2. Fourth quarter is this team’s Achilles’ heel, for both performance and coaching. Frank was masterful with the Pistons doing basket cuts all day in the second and third quarters, but backed away once the Thunder started playing defense. Then the Pistons turned into the 0-something team we all know and love. That said, it’s good that they found something going on offense (basket cuts). 3. Stuckey finally got his season going with this performance. However, some of his shots he took looked absolutely awful and he was still very sloppy with the ball. Hopefully he will shrug that off as the season goes on. Nov 12, 2012 • 10:53 pm by Mel Game could have been won if Drummond and Monroe played the last 5 minutes together. Rebounds are important in the last [[phy_address]] max and jonas in together. I’m going to lock Frank in a storage room somewhere in the Palace which will force them to hire a NEW COACH. Go Pistons!!!!! I also agree with the English thought too. Should have been on Westbrook sometime during the game. Bynum is killing me. Nov 12, 2012 • 11:01 pm by bugsygod so what was the point of getting drummond if your not going to play him? you say because durant was at 4 well, he has to guard at the other end. On defense go to zone if your worried whose going to guard durant. Why does he continue to not play drummond and monroe together?? I want Drummond in before Jerbko! the comes in and immediately changes the game and energy with a two hand dunk. blocks shots, steals the ball, runs the floor and rebounds. He is more talented than jonas and maxiel, plays just as hard but still cant get any more time?? Just Dumb! This gives the Pistons and advantage for a change with the size of monroe/drummond brings. So now we draft the guy we have been looking for the last 2yrs and now say “oh i cant play him because the other team is playing there small forward at power foward”. DUMB! Nov 12, 2012 • 11:12 pm by Vince I’ve been a bit of a Negative Nancy the past few days, and before I continue with my negative nancy-ness I’d like to say that that was the first time I enjoyed watching the Pistons play in a while, they were good in Sac-Town but tonight, wow, the first was horrendous but they played to solid quarters where they took it to the Thunder! It was great. Now back to character. - Too many fouls early on - Bynum is making it harder for me to like him, when you think he’s turned a corner he plays like his old self again - Drummond had what, 13 minutes? - Drummond was a huge difference maker in the second quarter, why not keep him on the court!!? - Drummond and Monroe should’ve played together during the end of the third/fourth - Maxiell was great today, but one good game every 8 isn’t exactly what this team needs - Knight needs to slow down and control the ball - Prince seemed a bit more engaged this game, just a bit - Monroe was solid. No beef on him. - Jerebko, I love you man, but you have no business being the defensive stopper in the fourth, seriously, wth Frank? - Singler, another solid performance! - On today’s episode of “Wheres English gone?” we look at why a solid defender and perimeter threat is riding the pine - Daye and Villanueva, keep up the good work, loved your stuff tonight! Charlie, Moose almost acknowledged you in a timeout! Keep it up buddy. - Middleton. Isn’t he supposed to be in the D-League? - Kravtsov, I feel for him man, he doesn’t seem to be part of this team, adjusting to Western life and the NBA must be hard, but having to rock up in civies every night and not even sitting with the players and chilling by yourself in the back, thats just cold. Someone please look out for him. - Was it me or was Maggette not at the game tonight? - Nov 13, 2012 • 10:26 am by sebastian And, Vince, please help me to understand … Why in the hell did Joe and Gores offer the Ukrainian $1.5 million per year, before he even crossed the Atlantic and the guy doesn’t even dress out? Not to mention the $3 million Daye is being pay and the $8,060,000 sorry ass Charlie V. is getting, both or rather all three are not contributing in any tangible way. That’s $14,500,000 million in salary, plus Magette’s $10,000,000 … $24,500,000, easily 1/3 of the team salary that hasn’t contributed anything, during this 0-8 start. Mind blowing!!! - Nov 13, 2012 • 4:29 pm by labatts Right there with you. I feel like Dumars should coach his own mess. - Nov 12, 2012 • 11:19 pm by Whoneedsastar Three quick points: 1) What the Frank?!? (I’m on board) 2) Drummond vs. Maxiell – Please remember that Maxiell is on a contract year and there is a locker room hierarchy to consider. We, armchair coaches, do not have to fret but “WTF” has to worry about locker room morale, and benching a serviceable (rotation) big man in this situation on a 0-8 team is a tough pill to swallow from a young team’s perspective. 3) Drummond needs to earn his way to a starter’s spot sooner than later. - Nov 12, 2012 • 11:58 pm by T Casey Any coach who has to worry about starting a more productive player because he’s afraid of upsetting another one and losing the team probably doesn’t much of that team’s respect or trust to begin with. Just my opinion, though. Nov 12, 2012 • 11:21 pm by Troy Good effort by the Stones tonight, they played hard. I think Frank can shoulder a good amount of the blame for the fourth quarter collapse. At the start of the fourth with OKC coming on strong the lineup of Bynum, Stuckey, Singler, Jerebko, and Drummond were together. They were getting KILLED, no one could create a shot. Why keep that particular lineup on for so long, esepcially when OKC obviously wasn’t going to lay down? Nov 12, 2012 • 11:29 pm by Mel Nothing against Max, but common sense would argue, if you have a bigger quicker player who plays better per minute you would start that player. If their minutes were switched , with max playing the way he is now we would have won a couple of games and talking about how much better Max is playing now. Instead Max play is not getting the true credit it deserves considering how he’s playing now. Also Drummond will make mistakes, he’s a rookie but to act like he’s one of those rookies that needs to be pampered is BS. Even when he plays poorly it’s better than alot of others players when they play poor. AD1 played with more poise than his fellow classmate Lamb tonight. Dude looked totally lost. Nov 12, 2012 • 11:31 pm by Vince Also, Langlois’ article on pistons.com was interesting, heres an excerpt that got the comment section agitated: “Pressed almost daily on his thinking about the timing of playing the two lottery picks together, Frank has tried his best to be vague. But it’s pretty clear he wants Drummond to earn a bigger role, not be handed it. “You’ve also got to make sure that it’s warranted,” he said. “You can’t, in game six of a season, just throw guys out there and experiment if it’s not based on effort. When guys are working hard, that’s why you do it. There are a lot of things that have to align for it to happen.” That’s makes perfect sense, especially when the two players who would be most directly affected by Drummond’s elevation are Jason Maxiell and Jonas Jerebko, as highly respected and well liked as any two players in the locker room. That’s not to be taken lightly. Teammates respect their toughness, coaches their reliability. The fact they’re so well liked, on top of that, means a coach would risk tainting team chemistry if the move was based on anything other than pure merit.” One of the main criticisms drawn from this article is whether Frank is really allocating minutes to the best players or just the ones with a bit more weight around the locker room. - Nov 13, 2012 • 12:08 am by Mark I noticed they removed the comment section from Langlois blog. lol Pistons are probably tired of fans speaking the truth about their team. - Nov 13, 2012 • 12:12 am by Mark Twwet from Langlois during the game: Keith Langlois ?@Keith_Langlois Before I get bombarded about why no Monroe-Drummond lineup, understand Durant is playing the 4 for OKC. - - Nov 13, 2012 • 12:50 am by Vince Damn it! Some of those comments were really to the point. I liked a lot of the points they brought up… guess they can’t handle the pressure ahah - - Nov 13, 2012 • 1:56 am by Mark yeah they left those comments up on that article, but tonights article has no comment section. I think they maybe did away with it - - Nov 13, 2012 • 7:39 am by Coach Frank Postgame Its about match-ups, and as a coach I have to adjust and play to the other teams strength. So i’ll play our bigs and be physical ONLY after the other team has made the adjustments, its a MORALE belief that I have, because I respect the game - - Nov 13, 2012 • 2:51 am by Piston Heel He midas well trash that pistions mail bag he’s gonna have more letters than the US postal service - Nov 12, 2012 • 11:34 pm by EMBRACE THE PROCESS We need to be patience with Frank and his process …slow starts are normal and to be expected…No need to complain…. We will win later!!! - - - Nov 13, 2012 • 7:14 am by Coach Frank Postgame Its not about “HOW LONG IT TAKES TO WIN”….Its about “HOW WE WIN” …. we have vets in that locker room, and I cant have them believing that im willing to abandon the integrity of my Process just to win some games… Nov 12, 2012 • 11:44 pm by MrHappyMushroom Only a C for Drummond? Something like 11 points and 17 boards per 36 and you said he played his best defense of the year. Given that Frank didn’t seem to notice, giving him a D+ (really only a bit lower than Drummond got) was a mistake. - Nov 13, 2012 • 12:03 am by Mark I agree. A C for Drummond almost as puzzling as Franks rotation. Drummond dominated the game on both ends during his 10 min run in the 2nd qtr leading us to a 12 pt lead. He got benched 3 min into the 4th for no sensible reason and that was it for him. How does amount to an average performance? I’d give him an A-, B+ at worst. Nov 13, 2012 • 12:02 am by solidsnake some of you guys may be thinking that drummond should start over maxiell but i suggest you think back to 2010. greg monroe was drafted that year but he didn’t start, he came off the bench. he earned his spot eventually in the starting lineup (replaced austindaye or maxiell) and started to thrive. it’s only a matter of time until drummond starts. maxiell is a veteran for this team and the pistons have always been known as a respectable organization. we’ve played some very tough teams so far this season but I see promise in this team. i don’t care if we’re 0-8, i still think this team has plenty of room to grow and thrive this season - Nov 13, 2012 • 12:16 am by tarsier Monroe also didn’t play very well for the first month or so even though in the second half of the season, he was clearly the team’s best player. Drummond is playing well right now. That’s a crucial distinction. Nov 13, 2012 • 12:14 am by Roit fire coach frank. why not use moose-drummond? why use JJ33 so long time? why we lost? Nov 13, 2012 • 12:14 am by YesSir The pistons gave it there best shot and okc played ok and still won the game what does that tell you. not the right pieces and a stubborn coach, i would have like to see daye in a game like this because whatever you say about him games like this he plays well in. passing was terrible shooting terrible no cohesive nothing about this team. Frank im sorry people i know some of you guys like him but he is no chuck daly or larry brown. Nov 13, 2012 • 12:42 am by Mel Yeah, Monroe couldn’t even get his shot off in his rookie year for about a month then he figured it out. Whats interesting is he still has those issues during the beginning of each of his seasons. Because he’s not a true center, he can play center but it’s not his true position. He’s too thin at this stage of his career. With more experience I see him with a Al Jefferson style of play with Chris Webber passing ability. When I see Drummond play he reminds me of Lebron at the center position. I think he took some of Lebron moves when he was younger. That’s why he’s not as aggressive around the rim like he should. That will change once he gets more comfortable and learn the NBA game more. But technically Drummond is ready now. On defense he’s no more lost than Monroe and were still allowing Knight to make his mistakes. I feel Drummond makes less mistakes than Monroe. But that’s my opinion. Oh yeah, The team finally played with some effort. But still dumb coaching moves. He even mentioned it on Pistons.com Coaching Grade D- (for showing up) Nov 13, 2012 • 1:19 am by Pistons87 Questions I’d ask if I were at a post game press conference and not a suck up beat writer: For Coach Frank: In your previous game against OKC your best front court featured Monroe and Drummond. Since they didn’t play at all tonight together should we assume your stubborn or incompetent? For Will Bynum: Will what’s it like forcing 3 straight shots by attacking the OKC frontline at the rim and coming up empty? Do you think it bothers your teammates? Do you go back and watch film of these games and think “if I was 6″ taller I would be unstoppable” or do you think you’re already unstoppable? For Coach Frank: Rodney had a decent game tonight. However you’ve stated previously that playing time is based on merit. By that reasoning why is Rodney still starting and getting all the minutes. What kind of message does that send to Kim who didn’t get any PT tonight but based on his previous performances is deserving? Nov 13, 2012 • 1:38 am by Scott Free I don’t get the Maxiel hate. Sure he aint Andre, but tonight he played his heart out and stuffed it in one of the league’s bests faces. I agree that the lineups don’t make sense, but that doesn’t stop me from rooting for the Pistons as a team. - Nov 13, 2012 • 7:19 am by Coach Frank Postgame Max is my guy, he can score, he can rebound and defend the basketball. He is going to be a force in this league and he has a bright, bright future in this league and he is only in his 9th year? so he hasnt even scratched his potential just yet Nov 13, 2012 • 2:24 am by Pete What I don’t understand is.. This team isn’t going to make the play offs we all know that. This should be a year for developing the young players.. win or lose. Tayshaun, Maxiell, Bynum, CV, and even Maggette are taking up space. Knight needs to play with a ACTUAL shooting guard. Imagine him playing with Kevin Martin(a guard who can actually SHOOT), Monroe is a PF(he skill set just says PF all day), Bynum is a CHUCKER(SMH). Its a SHAME ALL THE FANS CAN SEE THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TEAM BUT THE MANAGEMENT DOESN’T. I don’t think Frank is a Bad coach(aside from his team lacking heart and some type of competitive meanness ) BUT I DO think hes been given a BADLY ASSEMBLED TEAM. I wish Joe D would stop double talking and STRAIGHT UP TELL THE PISTONS FAN BASE WHAT IS IT THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH AND BUILD BECAUSE I FOR ONE DON’T SEE IT! I know they are treating AD like they did Monroe in his rookie year but at least that team had a little bit of playoff hopes. I’m a true blue Pistons fan but these games are getting harder and harder to watch.. Nov 13, 2012 • 2:57 am by Piston Heel Nice write up about drummond you spoke the truth on that I wish maxiel was gone too just for the fact that he is slowing the growth of drummond and other future big men. If he (maxiel) was on any other team he would be a energy guy coming off the bench. You have to give drummond his shot he’s doing a good job so far and he deserves the starting spot. Nov 13, 2012 • 4:02 am by Joe Dumars I take it no one realized the Thunder went small in the 4th? That didn’t exactly work in the Pistons favor when the Rockets did that against the Drummond/Monroe pairing. Nov 13, 2012 • 6:45 am by ryan There were several defensive plays tonight that were just beautiful to see. Jason Maxiell’s blocks were right up there, even though I wish he’d been traded by now. Tayshaun Prince’s block on Kevin Durant made me think it was 2004 there for a minute. Also Brandon Knight’s tie up of Kevin Durant on the break was a play that showed great skill and effort. And you can now add Russell Westbrook to the list of guys I wouldn’t mind seeing run over by a car. Cheap shots right and left with that guy. Kevin Durant on the other hand is just incredibly skilled and improving. Nov 13, 2012 • 6:48 am by Greg because the pistons can´t play to their strengths, instead they try to adopt to the playing style of other teams…and going small isn´t exactly the strenght of the Pistons…they need to lern to force the opponents to adjust to their playing style and their strenghts and that should be going big! Nov 13, 2012 • 7:21 am by Derek This seems to be a different team from the one that met and worked out together during the offseason. There were reports of cohesiveness and energy. Players were being accused of…being committed doing the dirty work. Now we hear of players who need more touches on offense and because they lack the requiste touches they are confused on defense (what they buffoonery?!?!?). Drummond’s questionable motor and focus were said to be put to rest. Now we hear he lacks comprehension in practice, which he has shown in some games (hey there will be mistakes). Stuckey was said to have turned the corner. Stuckey was said to have worked on his game harder than at any other time in his natural life this past summer. He was said to have benefitted greatly from therapy. Now it looks like he has made a 180 back around that same corner of mediocrity. It looks like the book has been written on him and he’s no better than a midrange to below average baller. It looks like therapy has failed. NOTE: These are the frustrated musings of a big Stuckey supporter, apologist, fan club decoder ring owner… Can we agree that Prince does not do well in the role of veteran voice leading the youngin’s? He complains. He face palms. He throws his coaches under the bus. He fails to guard. He shoots questionable shots. He is a frontrunner who only does well when the team wins otherwise he is a cancer (not a cancer patient). Bynum does not appear to be able to guard anyone. We are not seeing fullcourt Lindsey Hunter-esque ball pressure. He cannot run the offense…so why are we playing him. Max for all his limitations is playing hard. Jerebko is ineffective guarding the bigs, but he’s giving maximum effort. Singler is a wet behind the ears rookie, but he is smart and capable and gritty. English has his limitations, but he makes up for it in toughness, energy, and touch from the outside. Slava… I’m ready to start the free Slava telethon. I still love my Pistons. As weird as it may sound I think Frank is a sharp coach. For some reason we are getting inconsistent effort from players who are more concerned about individual numbers than the letter at the end of the game. Take a hint Pistons, Isiah Thomas could have led the league in points and assists several times, but he subjugated his game in favor of the team style of play and the personnel. Billups could have been a prolific scorer but he ran the team and efficiently picked his spots. Sheed could have gone down as the best PF ever, yet he was content to be a footsoldier. We need to commit to grinding games out, gobbling up rebounds, putting opposing players on their backs, etc. Nov 13, 2012 • 8:11 am by Coach Frank Postgame “The bottom line is, let’s compete every night,” Frank said. “We will get our fair share of wins if we compete.” From The Detroit News: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20121112/SPORTS0102/211120439#ixzz2C6kdh5F1 - cant make this stuff up… Commits like that MOTIVATE A CITY!!! Nov 13, 2012 • 10:00 am by PistonManiac I havent posted here in a while- How’s everybody doing? Everyone on here knows me as a Joe D supporter and appologist- There is absolutely nothing that anybody can do to denigrate Joe’s past contributions: 3 Finals appearances and 2 championships as a player, and 2 Finals appearances and a Title (including 6 straight ECF appearances) as a GM. The GM of a team that he completely rebuilt-The players on our ’04 championship team were all acquired by Joe D. So it hurts me to read silly posts comparing Joe D to the likes of Matt Millen and Micheal Jordan as a GM. I actually enjoyed the Pistons winning a title so much that I chose not to overlook that fact as an inconvenience when I criticize Joe D today. But here goes. Joe cannot continue to preside over the building of the Pistons if this team continues down the path that it is currently on. It seems that, now that he has finally found his touch in the draft, he lost it in signing free agents. Tay Prince? Why is he still in Detroit? The Stuckey thing should’ve ended once they were sure he couldn’t become a PG- Stuckey has gone from a jumbo PG who can’t shoot from the perimeter to a smallish SG…who still can’t shoot. CV and Austin Daye- Two weak, tall 3-point shooters. J-Max- Not the worst, as some people would believe, but not a starter, and should really just be trade bait. With four productive drafts in a row 09- Jerebko, 10- Monroe, 11- Knight and Singler, 12- Drummond and English, this team should be showing improvement, with the right veterans to accompany this young talent…But, it’s been proven that these veterans are not the right ones. I’m not delusional enough to believe that a healthy Magette would’ve contributed enough to win more than just the Sac game. My expectations for this team were not huge, but I at least expected a lower-tiered playoff team. This team, if they were where they should be, should look like Indiana or Philly did the year before last (2010): The 7th or 8th seed that gives the #1 and #[[phy_address]] round trouble ( a couple of wins and some close games). That, IMO would consititute progress. Joe D. had the magic touch for years, but he lost it when he traded for AI, and subsequently and disasterously signed CV and BG as free agents. Unless this team turns things around and shows some improvement, I’m joining the “Joe must go” crew I personally thought Drummond looked a little scared when he was in during the 4th. Did anyone else notice that? His productivity (and energy) went way down. Not sure if it was the cheap shot Westbrook gave him or what. I’m wondering if his mental state is a bit unstable and that’s the reason for the slow integration into the rotation. Either way, Max was a straight up beast and Monroe had a good game as well. It’s going to be hard to get mins when they play well AND it’s a tight game with a top tier team AND you’re trying to get your first win. I probably would have done the same thing. As far as the rest of the rotation, we needed the best and most experienced in there in the early mins of the 4th. We looked helpless out there. We really missed Maghette tonight. I think he and Stuck would have been an ideal tandem to attack with to rack up fouls and get easy free throws in the 4th given how much the Thunder’s defense disrupted out offense. Just saying.

Hello ladies & gentlemen! The 20th of December of last year my 3rd baby boy, Adai, was born and for the past [[phy_address]] been thoroughly enjoying our latest addition to the family. It is really precious to see him smile and 'chat' with his big brothers and I have been cocooning as much as possible (clients were already calling me 2 weeks after he was born) as I really wanted to enjoy this special time. With only 1 or 2 weeks to go, I guess this will be my last post for a while, depending on how good I feel after giving birth (I am hoping for a natural birth after 2 prior C-sections!), and how crazy life is with a tiny baby and two wild boys running around. (I have no doubt it will be!) I absolutely love Pinterest. Not only for all the fantastic images that get pinned every day by some truly great talents that are an inspiration to me, but also for the many words I get to see. Many times, I will see a quote that will inspire me, make me think or just simply make me smile. They're little reminders of why you work as hard as you do. Little reminders to enjoy life to its fullest, and little reminders that you are human, just as everybody else. Ok, I've got to admit it, this post is going to be a short one and really just purely for self-indulgence. This week I received an email from the always-right-with-the-latest-trends magazine, Wallpaper, and the opening photo left me mumbling "wow!" What was it, you ask? Only one of the two winners of the 'Best Urban Hotels 2013' Wallpaper Award, and wow, did it deserve that award! Today I am doing a bit of a 'copy and paste' from one of my favorite websites, Domaine Home, just because I loved this piece and thought it related so well to Barbara talking about her (hopefully) soon to come new office, and the style I envision her office to have. Hello ladies and gentlemen! We are nearing the end of the year and with the festive season around the corner, it is always a very busy season for many- including us, architects and interior designers, as everybody wants their house finished as fast as possible. Hello ladies & gentlemen, as you know, I am a big fan of small hotels. As I have said before, the more intimate and the more charm they have, the better! And even better if they have passed the selection and are a member of the Design Hotels. So, when I saw pictures of Hotel San Giorgio on the island of Mykonos in Greece, I was sold. This gorgeous little hotel sits perched above the dramatic rocky shore of the Aegean Sea. Hello ladies & gentlemen, I say it's time for some practical advice today! I'm sure some of you have thought: "I have so many pictures, posters and art pieces but I am not sure how to make them work together on a wall". We can relate. Hello ladies & gentlemen, the inspiration for this post came to me in a funny place: the gym. While pushing my way through the elliptical machine, I was watching a show called Las Vegas (or something of the sort) with Molly Sims, and I remembered once getting a special edition of In Style Magazine dedicated to interiors with Molly's featured in it and really liking it.
