Joel Peralta cheated on Tuesday night.
The Rays reliever broke a rule in having pine tar on his glove. He got caught. He was ejected. He might get suspended.
But it's Nationals manager Davey Johnson's decision to call for the inspection of Peralta's glove that will be discussed more thoroughly in baseball circles than any foreign substance placed on one's rawhide. That's what happens when baseball's oh-so-sacred unwritten rules are seemingly disregarded.
This incident begs the question, though: Is it worse to disregard those unwritten rules, or to disobey ones specifically outlined in the MLB rulebook?
Stealing signs, bunting to break up a no-hitter or taking an extra base while holding a big lead are frowned upon, but there's no statute against them. Instead, those transgressions fall on the list of things "you just don't do" according to many baseball minds — the same list that Johnson now finds himself on.
Joe Maddon is a clear advocate of baseball's understood traditions. He was upset with the Red Sox coaching staff earlier this season for their involvement in a late-game altercation, and he's now upset with Johnson's decision to check Peralta's glove. The Rays skipper called Johnson's move "cowardly," "bogus," and "bush," among other things.
You see, according to Maddon, the problem is that Johnson was apparently tipped off about the substance on Peralta's glove from someone on the Nationals bench, and it's knowledge that likely came to light because Peralta pitched for the Nats in 2010. It was an instance of "insider trading," according to Maddon.
At first glance, yes, it seems Johnson used some additional information he had at his disposal. And yes, he may have disregarded an "unwritten rule" in calling for a review of Peralta's glove. But let's be real, there exists — or at least there should exist — a line in the whole unwritten rule concept.
Major League Baseball appears to be straying a bit from the concept that unwritten rules are never to be broken, but there's still the Joe Maddons of the world. While Maddon is a terrific manager, and someone who clearly respects the history of the game, he's also a bit off in this instance.
Certain unwritten rules are understandable, but managers and players often get so caught up in such that we lose track of the ultimate objective: Win ballgames.
We saw that last season when Justin Verlander was upset about Erik Aybar dropping down a bunt in the eighth inning while the Tigers hurler had a no-hitter going. The problem with Verlander's frustration was that the Angels trailed just 3-0 at the time — hardly an insurmountable deficit. The Rays' one-run lead on Tuesday was even less insurmountable.
Johnson may have been seeking a competitive advantage in calling for an inspection of Peralta's glove, but wasn't Peralta seeking a competitive advantage of his own in using the substance? Why should Peralta be let off the hook, whereas Johnson is viewed as some jerk who uses forbidden insider knowledge to give his team the upper hand?
Peralta's transgression was actually worse, because there's no ifs, ands or buts about his wrongdoing. He broke a rule that's clearly stated, whereas Johnson's move — while unpopular — is one that's just kind of been avoided over the years. (Perhaps because of its unpopularity.)
Unwritten rules will be debated until the end of time. Think what you think, and feel what you feel, but let's not start putting those rules above those that are clearly stated.
Once that happens, there's no turning back.

Fraggle Rock Episode 101: Beginnings (1983)
Most recent appearance...
Fraggle Rock Episode 513: Change of Address (1987)
also seen in Fraggle Rock Comic Book (2011)
Best Known Role...
Old inventor whose workshop houses the tunnel that leads to Fraggle Rock; Sprocket's best friend; The North American Society of Tinkerers Man of the Year (1983); Manager of The Captain's Inn
Best Friend(s)...
Sprocket and Ned Shimmelfinny (most of the time)
Memorable Quotes...
"For the last time, Sprocket, there are no furry little creatures living behind that hole!"
Doc is the only fully visible human (or Silly Creature) character on Fraggle Rock. He and his best friend/dog Sprocket live in "Outer Space" where Gobo Fraggle's postcards are sent. Doc is completely oblivious to the furry little Fraggles popping in and out of the hole in the wall, much to the dismay of Sprocket, who barks and attempts to describe them. In the first episode, "Beginnings," Doc moves into and refurbishes his workshop, moving a crate revealing the hole to Fraggle Rock which leads Uncle Traveling Matt to explore the uncharted world of Outer Space and therefore send his nephew postcards that end up at the workshop.
Doc is an inventor (although in his heyday he was a barber) who doesn't come up with the most practical inventions, such as attempting to sew a button onto a fried egg. Doc also has a love/hate relationship with his neighbor and friend Ned Shimmelfinny. Ned and Doc often squabble over trivial things and Ned sometimes leaves his pet cat, Fluffenella, in the care of Doc (much to the care of Sprocket). The only other consistent human interaction Doc has on the show is with Betty Ardath. In the episode "Doozer is as Doozer Does," Doc was hired by Miss Ardath as the manager of The Captain's Inn, a seaside bed and breakfast located near the workshop.
In the last two episodes of Fraggle Rock, "The Honk of Honks" and "Change of Address," Doc learns that Ned must move to the desert for his health. Gobo (who learned that he must "feel" Doc in order for him to see him) sees how sad Doc is and touches his hand and says "Don't worry, I'm sure it'll be alright." Doc then sees the knee-high creature and realizes that his dog has been right all along. Seeing Gobo also gives Doc an epiphany, helping him to realize that he needs to be with Ned. In the days before he moves, Doc tries to lure Gobo back to the workshop so they can talk. When Gobo finally arrives, Doc asks him to move to the desert with him. Gobo refuses because he would miss his friends and Fraggle Rock too much.
Since he didn't get the goodbye he wanted, Doc left a tape recording for Gobo in his workshop before moving. At their apartment in the desert, Doc finds a box against the wall just like he did when he first moved into the workshop. He moves and sees that there is no hole, he and Sprocket then realize that they, along with the Fraggles, are magic. When Doc realizes that he cannot leave the magic, Gobo emerges into the and he, Doc, Sprocket, and the rest of the Fraggles sing the theme song. Fittingly, Doc provides the final line: "Down at Fraggle Rock."
Doc also appeared on the animated incarnation of Fraggle Rock where he played the same role but is only seen from the neck down (similar to Nanny in Muppet Babies). Doc also appeared in A Muppet Family Christmas as the initial renter of Emily Bear's farmhouse in an attempt to have "a nice, quiet Christmas." This is of course interrupted by the arrival of Fozzie Bear and the other Muppets and the residents of Sesame Street.
- In "Boober's Dream" Doc has dreams involving creatures who have furry tails and sing and dance, plus "little creatures that are green and wear helmets are symbols of work and creativity."
- In "The Bells of Fraggle Rock," Doc learns about all of the different ways people celebrate the holidays around the world. He then decides that he and Sprocket will try and celebrate all of them at once!
- In the rare "The Fraggles Look for Jobs" special Doc is seen by Gobo and Wembley as he walks around yelling at an empty leash calling it Sprocket.
- In A Muppet Family Christmas, Doc decides to help out his new friends by going out to look for Miss. Piggy in less than desirable conditions; it was cold enough to freeze your Winnebago. And when he returns, he returns in a full Mounty uniform claiming "I was searching through the snow and suddenly there was Miss. Piggy with this costume for me."
Doc and Sprocket are a comedy team, like Laurel and Hardy or Abbot and Costello. But they are much more balanced, some days Doc will be the irrational one with Sprocket thinking logically and other days it will be switched. Sprocket is the only character that Doc interacts with for the majority of the series, but Sprocket's human-like antics are part of the norm for Doc. We never hear about Doc having any family or relatives, so Sprocket is his only companionship. They are best friends; in "Boober's Quiet Day," Doc had trouble going one day without Sprocket to keep him company.
Fraggle Rock was well known for its many international productions. Jim Henson wanted the show to be universal, and for that to happen the Doc and Sprocket segments needed to reflect the culture in which the show was being seen. In Britain, the Doc character went from being an inventor to a lighthouse keeper named Captain. In France, Doc was a baker and in Germany Doc was once again an inventor. In all other countries, the original Doc and Sprocket segments were merely dubbed over.
Doc is necessary to the Fraggle Rock universe for several reasons. Without him we wouldn't be able to understand Sprocket as well. Doc is also needed to provide real-world applications to the situations that the cave dwellers below are dealing with. Doc also provided Fraggle Rock with its main representation in A Muppet Family Christmas since the Fraggles couldn't just hang around Ma Bear's house all night. Doc is almost like Kermit in a way, he's just a normal guy who has all this craziness thrust upon him.

Multi-Asset Insights: Opportunities in emerging market debt?
The latest insight from our multi-asset team explores the prospects for emerging market debt with US interest rates expected to normalise.
Is there a risk of another taper tantrum?
In summer 2013, fears that the Federal Reserve (Fed) would imminently begin to taper its bond purchasing programme led to a broad sell-off in emerging markets.
Economies with large and growing twin (fiscal and current account) deficits were hardest hit due to the heightened risk of an abrupt internal adjustment if there was a reduction in liquidity.
That is, if economies are unable to borrow as much money from foreigners, consumption, investment or government spending (or all three) must adjust.
Once that adjustment becomes sufficiently large, it represents a risk to financial stability.
Although the delay to tapering has bought emerging market economies some breathing space, we expect an eventual return to this focus on fundamentals when liquidity again becomes an issue.
Figure 1 shows how emerging market economies are performing. Most emerging economies have managed to improve their position over the last year, although we have yet to see an export recovery in line with the recovery in developed markets.
However, notable exceptions are the commodity-dependent Latin American countries, where current account deterioration has led to an increased reliance on external financing flows.
Yield suppression contributing to risk environment
The broad emerging market debt universe generated positive returns in the first four months of 2015 despite pessimism carried over from last year.
Downward revisions in global growth, uncertainty surrounding Fed normalisation, and country-specific issues contributed to the negative environment in the first quarter.
However, quantitative easing in Europe, a dovish statement from the Fed in late March and over 20 central banks easing monetary policy in the first quarter allowed for a recovery in risk assets.
In particular, the low to negative levels of developed market yields have helped to encourage risk taking.
Russia outperformed the broader market, helped by the stabilisation in oil prices and the diminishing threat of additional sanctions against the country.
The cautious sentiment towards emerging markets helps keep valuations attractive, especially compared to developed markets.
However, we believe divergent conditions across emerging markets will remain the key driver of emerging market performance in the future.
What will be the impact of a Fed rate rise?
When the Fed proceeds to cautiously lift the base rate, the impact is likely to differ substantially across emerging markets.
We believe the downward adjustment in growth and the dramatic realignment in emerging market currencies will not destabilise emerging markets.
On the other hand, significant opportunities within emerging markets, especially in the local currency debt market, could be unfolding over the next one or two years.
We have been seeing some major emerging countries remain resilient, particularly those with strong external liquidity and solvency support.
However, in the near term we remain selectively positive on local currency debt given headwinds from dollar strength and currency volatility and we expect dollar-denominated assets to remain better supported.
As a result we are upgrading dollar-denominated debt to neutral as spreads (yields relative to US Treasuries) remain fairly attractive.

Thread: Grillin corn
#1 Grillin corn06-25-2008, 08:32 PM
Best grilled corn on cob
- Buy some fresh corn on cob from your local farmers market.
- Important: Do not remove silk or husk. Leave virgin!
- Get grill heating.
- Soak in cool water around 15 - 20 min.
- Throw on grill and let sit about 10 min. ( ignore burnt smell).
- Turn over and rotate 180 degrees and let sit for anothera 10 min. (again ignore the burnt smell).
Now!! Put whatever you like on your perfectally grilled corn and enjoy...
Disclamer: A little brown or black is a good thing.

I agree. Although it's slightly better if cooked in an open fire at your campsite. And sometimes I'll sneak some butter inside the husks and silk before throwing them on the fire.

According to Schulman,
if ordinary voters occupy the leading roles in Perlstein's account, a "strange, stiff man" lurks in the shadows, never far from center stage. Nixon grasped the demands of a new age of mass media (however bad he looked on television himself). Driven by rages and resentments, Nixon also embodied the insecurities that ate at the hearts of millions of white, middle-class Americans, for whom the turmoil of the '60s - war and protest, the violence in Watts and other inner cities, the outrageousness of the counterculture, pornography and affirmative action - had proved deeply unsettling....Bucking the conventional wisdom, Perlstein recognizes Nixon's central role in the rise of the American right.
George Will's lengthy first-page NYT review finds Nixonland a "high-energy — sometimes too energetic — romp of a book also serves, inadvertently, a serious need: it corrects the cultural hypochondria to which many Americans, including Perlstein, are prone." The author's "thorough excavation of the cultural detritus of that decade refutes his thesis, which is that now, as then, Americans are at daggers drawn."
Perlstein's thesis is that America became Nixonland because of "the rise of two American identities" in the 1960s — actually between 1964, when Johnson won 61.1 percent of the vote, and 1968, when the combined votes for Nixon and George Wallace were 56.9 percent. Perlstein says Nixon's legacy is the "notion that there are two kinds of Americans." On one side of the barricades are "values voters" and other conservatives who are infuriated by the disdain of amoral elites conservatives consider (in the brilliantly ironic phrase that Perlstein appropriated from Kevin Phillips) a "toryhood of change" determined to supervise their lives. On the other side are Hofstadterian liberals who feel threatened by these nincompoops who have been made paranoid by their status anxieties.
While Perlstein argues that Nixonland is still a feature of American politics, Will argues that "America has long since gone off the boil."

Difference between revisions of "Hastings (England)"
Revision as of 14:29, 25 March 2008
Hastings [1] is a seaside town in East Sussex, in the South East of England.
Hastings is most famous for the battle that took place there in 1066 between King Harold's English and William the Conqueror's Normans. The town lent its name to the battle...although the battle actually took place in nearby Battle (of all places).
Nowadays the town is a busy seaside town that, along with St Leonards on Sea, forms a fairly large urban area on the south coast of around 100,000 inhabitants. The town is largely geared towards day-trippers, and fish and chip shops vie for attention with gaudy arcades on the seafront. Parts of the town (not excluding the centre and the seafront) are quite run-down.
Get in
By car
Hastings is at the end of the A21, which links the town to the M25 and London. The A27 runs west along the coast to Eastbourne and Brighton, and the A259 runs east to Ashford and Folkestone.
By train
Hastings is at one end of the Hastings Line, which runs through Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks on the way to London Charing Cross. There is also a direct service via Eastbourne to London Victoria, but this takes 2 hours and 7 minutes, compared with 1 hour 30 minutes for the fastest Charing Cross services. There are also services to Ashford and Brighton.
By Plane
The nearest airport is Gatwick Airport. After arriving, take Southern Train at Gatwick Airport Rail Station to the direction of Ore Rail Station directly to Hastings Rail Station. It will take 1:30-1:37.
Get around
Vintage clothes – this place is a bit of a hidden treasure. Lots of vintage clothes shops and brick-a-brack – some are run by people who also have stalls in Portobello road later on in the week. One of them has the flatmate of Peaches Geldof as an assistant at the weekends! Prices range from what you'd expect – £60 for a decent 40's dress, to little treasures – £15 for a vintage Laura Ashley maxi-dress.
Fish and chips - there are hundreds of fish and chip shops. The Blue Dolphin is very popular, and is considered to be one of the best in Britain.
Some very nice traditional pubs down in the Old town. Try the Jenny Lind when it's got local strong cider :-)
In the central city
Get out

Stock Car Body Wrap - Wrap It Up
Project DLM Gets A New Skin
Things have been going along nicely with our Project Dirt Late Model. Each time we race, we get better, faster, and more consistent. We have numerous advertisers who have supported this project from the get-go with the latest and greatest racing products on the market. We've featured many of those products in the articles, everything from radiators to seat mounting to the chassis setup. Focusing on the critical items for performance on the track, such as setup and motor, has gotten us to the point where we're ready to give our black Pontiac GTO a whole new look.
Sure, we could've slapped some decals and sponsor logos on the side and bought some stick-on flames from our local parts store, but that low-buck approach wasn't going to fly with this car. After all, much of the setup and many of the parts in this car are very advanced, and we wanted the outside to match the inside. Project DLM needed to be wrapped.
Wraps are indeed all of the rage in racing right now, with decal or wrap companies springing up all over the place. However, the guys at Firestorm Graphix have been in the decal and wrap business since 2000, so we knew that they knew what they were doing. Racers themselves, the guys at Firestorm are based near Boston, where their state-of-the-art shop boasts all the latest machinery to turn out first-class graphics.
Project DLM has seen action (and solid finishes) at both Ocala Speedway and North Florida Speedway over the past several months. Naturally, dirt racing being what it is, there was some body damage that needed attention. After a quick call to our friends at Performance Bodies, we had some new panels that Bobby Clark and the crew attached to our '02 Rayburn.
Wrapping a racecar isn't nearly as easy as you might think, so with camera in hand, we peered over the shoulders of Matt LaChance, owner, and Fred Brundage, co-founder, of Firestorm as they wrapped up our baby.
Yes, we had to write that. We're sorry, but if you want to see what the completed car looks like, you're going to have to wait for the unveiling in next month's issue of Circle Track. Until then, head over to www.circletrack.com for a sneak peak.

TrueBurger did the impossible. Somehow I felt like I had a delicious, high quality and healthy meal, even though my dinner consisted of a burger, shake and fries. And not just any fries. They were the covered in chili, cheese and sour cream kind of fries. It was kind of amazing.
It's all about good ingredients and tried and true techniques. Hand-spun milkshakes. House-ground Angus beef. Custom-made challah buns. Even their mayo is a housemade garlic aioli.Everything is made to feel like you're getting something truly special (but not fussy by any means.)
Located in downtown Oakland, I came here with some E. Bay folks, including one friend whose last name Gong made giving her a foodie name, Ms. GorGONGzola Cheese, super easy. We started with delicious hand-spun shakes ($4.75) made with creamy vanilla ice cream and your choice of .50 add-ins (I opted for banana and peanut butter - a great combo.) The aforementioned chili cheese fries (though on the thin side - I'm a steak fries fan myself) and the spiced dill pickle were great accompaniments to their burgers, which start at $4.95.
A few weeks ago I blogged about Sam's Chowdermobile. If that was the lobster roll of my dreams, then TrueBurger has created the burger of my dreams. It was sweet and simple: a thick juicy patty on a slightly eggy bun that was smeared with just the right amount of garlic aioli and backed up by crisp lettuce and tomato. I enjoyed it without cheese or tons of condiments so all the flavors came through the way they should. Fresh. Savory. Satisfying. No special sauce or pickles, which can sometimes totally take over your burger. Just the clean taste of quality beef, spot-on seasoning, fresh veggies and one of the best buns I've ever tasted.
The staff and service gets an A+ too. If anything I just wished they had a bigger dining space and more tables as we had to shuffle around a bit to accommodate our party of 6. Plus, Ms. G and I were wondering why onion rings weren't included in their offerings (it seems like such a likely choice.)
I left the restaurant feeling full but surprisingly light, not heavy or grease-laden like some burger joints will do to you. And happy. I can't wait for my next visit to TrueBurger.

When a Soldier Comes Home to Identity Theft
Norman Rockwell painted soldiers coming home to open-armed relatives, hot meals and hard-earned rest. Rick Martinez's homecoming wasn't so heartwarming.
The National Guardsman returned from an 11-month stint in Iraq, only to find a tangled web of identity theft. Someone had tried to open credit card accounts in his name, using his personal information. He worried it would negatively impact his credit.
"I had heard horror stories about identities getting stolen when you're overseas," said Martinez, who also has served in Dubai and Colombia. "When you're deployed, your only means of communicating is the Internet, and you're dependent on foreign servers."
Military personnel are at greater risk for identity theft because of their limited means of communication and the transient nature of their work. Long deployments and frequent relocations make it difficult to monitor bank accounts and credit card statements while abroad. In its 2013 Consumer Sentinel Report, the Federal Trade Commission noted that a full 37 percent of complaints filed by military personnel involved identity theft—compared with 18 percent of complaints in the general population.
Martinez tried to tackle the red tape on his own but quickly found himself stonewalled. He requested a free credit report and discovered the alias "Mary J. Richards," an error so egregious it would have been funny if it didn't have such serious ramifications. He called and wrote letters disputing the errors but made no progress. "There's a mystique about it," said Martinez. "You try to read the fine print and do what the fine print says, but it's not happening. You see 'Mary J. Richards' on your credit report, and no one will help you."
Martinez found the help he needed through Intelius, which offers CyberScout's identity management services to its customers. Fraud Investigator Maria Valenzuela was assigned his case, and she:
• added a seven-year extended fraud alert to his credit files, which prevents new applications from being approved and entitles him to two free credit reports per year from each credit bureau;
• reviewed his credit reports with him to determine if any fraud existed; and
• removed his name and address from the nationwide pre-approval list, compiled by the credit bureaus and sold to their affiliates, who send pre-approved credit cards and insurance offers. (This is particularly helpful for military personnel who are not home to shred these offers.)
"Rick had taken all the right steps and made all the right phone calls," Valenzuela said. "But it's difficult to stamp out this kind of fraud, even when you're a good investigator and you're proactive like he was."
Valenzuela recommends that active military:
• place a one-year active-duty alert on credit files, which requires potential creditors to confirm the applicant's identity before issuing credit;
• notify credit card companies to place restrictions on card usage;
• have mail forwarded to a P.O. box or trusted relative; and
• check credit reports at least once a year at annualcreditreport.com.
"In your time of need," Martinez added, "it's good to know you can pick up the phone and there's someone like Maria on the other end who's going to listen, help and answer questions you haven't even thought of yet."

Two Dennis Technical Education Center students took home top honors in the recently-held annual SkillsUSA national competition. The two students were part of an impressive DTEC team of students and their instructors (pictured at the bottom of this article) who traveled to Louisville, KY for the national competition, which was held June 25-29, 2018.
The SkillsUSA Championships are competitive events showcasing the best career and technical education students in the nation. Contests begin locally and continue through the state and national levels.
John Myers Earns Gold Medal in Automotive Service Technology Competition
Congratulations to Dennis Technical Education Center student John Myers (pictured) who earned a Gold Medal in Automotive Service Technology at the SkillsUSA Championships.
Myers won the Automotive Service Technology competition where contestants from across the nation demonstrate their ability to perform jobs and skills based on the task list outlined by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF). Workstations consist of on-vehicle, simulations, bench and component testing and a written test. Contestants are judged on technical competency, accuracy, quality, safety and ability to follow directions. There are 13 skill stations including the written test.
Review national results in the Automotive Service Technology competition. Review videos of awards ceremonies.
John Myers is pictured below with his Gold Medal.
Hunter Casteel Earns Bronze Medal in Telecommunications Cabling
Also in the SkillsUSA Competition, Dennis Technical Education Center student Hunter Casteel (pictured) earned a Bronze Medal in Telecommunications Cabling.
This competition tests to worldwide industry standards related to cabling for data and voice connections, physical and logical networks and signal transmission. Contestants demonstrate skills in fiber and copper cable termination, pulling and mounting cable, patch panel installation and termination, installing jacks, cable testing and troubleshooting, and providing customer service.
More Recognition for DTEC

The scrapbook industry didn't get the memo that we're all supposed to be kicking back and enjoying the holidays, because the news has been flowing fast and furious this week!
As they promised in their statements following the summary judgement against them two weeks ago in their patent infringement case against QuicKutz, Spellbinders has filed notice with the United States Court of Appeals that they intend to appeal Judge Neil Wake's ruling ending their case against QuicKutz. The notice was filed on November 27th, and the company has until January 28th, 2013 to actually file their brief with the court – meaning like everything else in this case to date, nothing will be decided quickly in the appeal.
First, if you missed our earlier announcements, Nally Studios has a couple of creative team calls out!
The first call is for staff writers for our newly-acquired Craft Critique site. This call is open to crafters of all kinds who want to try out new products and tell the world what they think about them!
We're also calling for a design team for our newly launched Card Annex site. If you like to make cards, we'd love to see your work!
The calls are open until Dec. 7th, and the new teams will be announced on Dec. 14th. Continue Reading →

And depending on what part of the city you live in there is also a new players league at pleasant hill on Thursdays. Tee off at 6pm.
As a newbie to Kansas City and a relative newcomer to the game... is this still going on? There seem to be a lot of league nights for more advanced players but I can't figure out where to start.


text: It was around this time that my father and his friends started a gang. They were all blanquitos from Condado: Yasser Benítez, Claudio LaRocca, Tommy Del Valle, and Juanma Thon. On the night their gang became official, they downed a bottle of Bacardi, then smashed it into pieces and used a shard to cut their arms. Then they rubbed their wounds together, so the blood passed from arm to arm.

The herbal dietary supplement Ginkgo biloba did not lower blood pressure (BP) or reduce the incidence of hypertension (high BP) in a large group of older men and women, according to research recently reported in the American Journal of Hypertension. Although preliminary studies in animals and humans have indicated that ginkgo might have antihypertensive effects, this research was the first to explore that possibility in a large, long-term, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
The research was part of the NCCAM-funded Ginkgo Evaluation of Memory (GEM) study. The 3,069 GEM participants took either 120 mg of ginkgo or an identical-appearing placebo twice daily. Researchers then monitored a variety of health status measures, focusing on cognitive decline and dementia but also looking at blood pressure and other aspects of aging. Participants' median age was 79 years; median followup was 6.1 years.
Researchers found no BP-related differences between the ginkgo and placebo groups. During the course of the study, the two groups had similar changes in systolic BP, diastolic BP, and pulse pressure (the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure). The researchers found that the two groups were similar regardless of whether participants were also taking antihypertensive medication, and regardless of their BP status at the beginning of the study (hypertensive, prehypertensive, or normal). They also found no evidence that ginkgo reduced the incidence of hypertension.
The researchers note that the absence of an antihypertensive effect in this study does not eliminate ginkgo as a potential alternative for cardiovascular disease prevention. They suggest that future studies look at a slightly younger population and assess other measures of vascular health.

Brandyn Curry handed out 14 of Harvard's 20 assists against Penn (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Brandyn Curry handed out a career-high 14 assists and added 13 points for a double-double, while Laurent Rivard shot 5-of-8 from long range and finished with 21 points, as the Harvard men's basketball team topped Penn, 79-64, Friday evening at Lavietes Pavilion. Harvard is now 13-0 at home this season and has won 16 straight at Lavietes dating back to last season.
The win improves Harvard's record to 22-5 overall, a new program best for victories in a season, and 11-2 in the Ancient Eight, tying the program's highest mark for Ivy wins in a season (11 in 1970-71). The victory also sets up what amounts to be a game for the Ivy League title against Princeton (23-5, 11-1 Ivy) at Lavietes Saturday evening at 7 p.m. A win for the Crimson would at least clinch a share of the conference crown for Harvard, the first in program history, while a victory for Princeton would clinch the outright title for the Tigers.
Christian Webster (14 points), Oliver McNally (12) and Keith Wright (10) also had the scoring touch for Harvard, who had five players reach double figures. Miles Cartwright tallied 16 points to lead Penn, who falls to 12-14 and 6-6.
Harvard made 11-of-23 (.478) chances from long range for the game, while shooting 26-of-43 from the field overall (.605). The Crimson was also impressive from the foul line, hitting all 16 attempts.
The Crimson jumped out to a 5-2 lead when McNally made a pass to Brandyn Curry at the right win for a 3-pointer. At the 16:15 mark, McNally stole a pass at center court and scored on a layup to put Harvard up by five, 9-4. Penn matched the Crimson with baskets on the next few possessions, but Wright gave the Crimson a 13-8 lead with 14 minutes to go in the frame, as he netted a layup from the left side.
Matt Brown added a trey to make it 16-11 in favor of the Crimson, and then Rivard drilled another triple, as the Crimson upped its advantage to 19-11. On Harvard's next possession, Rivard buried another 3-ponter, as the Crimson made three straight from beyond the arc to open up at 22-11 advantage at the 10:45 mark.
With 6:40 remaining in the half, Curry found McNally for another Harvard triple, as the Crimson extended its lead to 31-15. Harvard continued to have the touch from long range, as Rivard made another trey to make it 38-19 in favor of the Crimson. Rivard made his fourth 3-pointer at the half with just over two minutes remaining, as Harvard continued to control play, 41-22. With 12 ticks left in the stanza, Curry went to the foul line and made both as the Crimson went into the locker room up by 22, 47-25.
Harvard shot an impressive 17-of-26 from the floor (.654) in the first half, while going 7-of-12 from beyond the arc (.583). Curry also finished the frame with eight assists and seven points, while Rivard was the leading score at the half with 14 points on 4-of-5 shooting.
Penn started the second half with an 8-2 run to cut the deficit to 16, 49-33, with 17:02 remaining. Moments later, Curry earned his 10th assist as he found McNally for another 3-pointer, making it a 54-36 lead for Harvard. Rivard made another triple on a fast break as the Crimson continued to keep Penn out of reach, 57-36. With 14:17 left, Curry handed out another assist on a trey, as he moved the ball to Webster for three point, 62-36.
Curry broke a career-best for assists by dishing the ball to McNally for a layup with 12:42 left in regulation, as Harvard led, 64-39. The Quakers enjoyed a 14-5 run over the next six minutes until Rivard made a jump shot to put Harvard back up by 17, 71-53. Curry added a layup for Harvard with 4:24 left, as the Crimson continued to hold a sizable advantage, 73-56.
The Quakers got back within 13 with 2:45 remaining, but Webster made both from the charity stripe to make it 75-60.

A Super Tuesday Nailbiter Puts Romney on His HeelsBut then... that's the one I linked to. You can see why they do it. Sensationalism. It's embarrassing, but it's a way of life in the media.
With a shockingly thin margin in Ohio, Mitt Romney has a shaky Super Tuesday and Rick Santorum claims a moral victory.
IN THE COMMENTS: chickenlittle said:
I don't quite fathom the "put on his heels" idiom. Does it mean like making a dog heel? Does mean put on woman's heels? Or it is a "round heels" reference?Romney said he wasn't going to set his hair on fire, and I don't think he's going to don stilettos. "Round heels" is an old-fashioned expression signifying women who are easy to tip over. Rush Limbaugh resurrected it in one of his Sandra Fluke rants last week. ("OK, so, she's not a slut. She's round-heeled.")
I don't think Romney is cooling his heels or taking to his heels or showing a clean pair of heels. He's certainly not hairy at the heel. ("The Colonel delivered himself of the opinion that Godfrey Burrows was slightly hairy at the heel, a pronouncement which baffled Poirot completely.")
And it's got nothing to do with that Marvin Gaye song "Sexual Heeling." (Arf!)
I think the relevant idiom the headline writer intended to approximate is: rock back on one's heels. I'm visualizing a comics version of Mitt Romney, dramatically angled backwards. Aw! In my mind's eye, he looks just like Dagwood. And Ann is Blondie.
ADDED: For Dylan fans:
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'
Seen you turn the corner, seen your boot heels spark
Seen you in the daylight, and watched you in the dark
Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
You have slayed me, you have made me
I got to laugh halfways off my heels
I got to know, babe, will you surround me?
So I can tell if I'm really real

Metallic Zebra Print Spandex 12 Red Red

- Care
This Metallic Zebra Print Spandex Jersey is a medium weight, knit fabric ideal for costuming and bodywear. This fabric's nylon content gives it a smooth, silky handfeel and beautiful sheen, and its generous stretch allows for body-conscious garments and ease of movement. Nylon/Spandex is smoother and offers more comfort and breathability than poly/spandex it travels easily, and its dramatic print is sure to be noticed.
Nylon/Spandex blend

4 Way Stretch Nylon Spandex

Imported Fabric
4-way stretch (About 70% size increase when stretched on crosswise grain, 60% stretch on lengthwise grain). Soft drape with smooth, silky handfeel
Slight degree of shine on face side
Tips and Tricks:
- Use with nap cutting layout (i.e. all pattern pieces laid out in the same direction) so all pattern pieces reflect light the same way and shading is prevented
- Crosswise stretch should go horizontally across the body
- For cutting, lay out fabric on dressmaker's cutting board, hold down pattern pieces w/fabric weights and trace around pattern pieces with a sharp rotary cutter. This allows for more precise cutting with knit fabrics.
- If cutting with shears, pin pattern pieces with thin, sharp pins (try our extra fine pins)
- If interfacing is needed, use lightweight fusible knit interfacing
- Use a ballpoint (stretch) needle when machine sewing
- Use a knit stitch to maintain stretch – chainstitch is ideal, but you can also use overlock (serger) to sew seams without additional stitch
- If you have to use a regular straight lockstitch, lower your stitch size (8-10 stitched per inch is a good estimate, but it's best to experiment on a test swatch before sewing), and gently stretch the fabric while sewing to maintain stretch. Steam seams on lower (polyester/nylon) setting to eliminate unwanted puckering. You may want to use a pressing cloth if you have a particularly hot iron.
- Use self-binding, overlock (serger) or a roll-back hem with coverstich for hems and edges
Wash cold on gentle cycle or hand wash in cold water, hang dry.

India Journal: Can Delhi Pull Off the Commonwealth Games?
The Commonwealth Games are upon us. Will India be happily reflecting on a job well done in a few weeks' time or has all hope already been washed away with the last of the monsoon rains?
Right now, it seems that for every Commonwealth Games optimist there are 10 naysayers. Rather than excited anticipation, a sense of resignation reigns. This is an opportunity for India to showcase itself, but you'd be forgiven for thinking that people here would rather the event doesn't take place at all (if in doubt, check out the comments section on this page).
The lack of preparation, they say, is an embarrassing indictment of India. Too much corruption, not enough accountability, too much talk, not enough action.
I would've counted myself as one of the pessimistic majority a week ago. And the news this week about participating countries getting skittish and new construction problems certainly hasn't been encouraging. Still, I am gradually coming round to the view, over-optimistically perhaps, that Delhi might just pull this off.
Wandering around the city, I have been struck by the progress made in just the past week in terms of landscaping and road clearing, while the Jawarharlal Nehru Stadium is shaping up as a pretty funky looking flagship venue -- at least from the outside -- when lit up at night. Banners have emerged on lamp posts and flyovers, with the games' mascot, a tiger named Shera, belatedly drumming up support. A.R. Rahman's theme song "Swagatam" is getting an increasing amount of airtime, for better or worse.
As makeovers go, there's still much to be done before Delhi can shine on stage, but at least it's looking more presentable than at the start of the month.
It will be a frantic last push, but it always is before any big event. I was lucky enough to be living in Beijing during the 2008 Olympics when the Chinese proved to the world they were more than capable of putting on a well-organized and dazzling spectacle. That's not to say there weren't concerns right up to the opening ceremony. They just got less airtime because of the tight control of the press and the positive expectations of the people.
The Commonwealth Games, of course, are a far smaller event. The high-stakes Olympics were a defining moment for China and will be remembered as such for years. Yet Delhi's games are still significant for India – an opportunity to demonstrate that it has the wherewithal to put on a world-class event and keep up with China.
In the build-up to the Beijing Olympics, there were well-founded concerns about the state of Beijing's air quality and traffic, and indeed potential terrorist attacks. But people were most worried that the Games would be overshadowed by political protests by foreign tourists or, worse still, by athletes in front of the world's media.
China was worried it would be embarrassed by others. India is worried it will embarrass itself.
Ultimately, the protests in Beijing barely materialized and the Olympics were regarded as a huge success. Delhi would dearly love to take the plaudits when the Commonwealth Games finish in mid-October, but the public is in unforgiving mood after witnessing the slow-motion car crash that has unfolded over the past year. Organizing chief Suresh Kalmadi is not a popular man, and that is unlikely to change, even if the games are a surprising triumph.
While there was never much doubt Beijing would have everything in place for the Olympics, Delhi finds itself in a mad scramble to get match ready, despite having roughly seven years to prepare.
On several occasions, I've heard Indian friends wryly say they wish their government could take a leaf out of the Chinese book and just get things done. Their frustration grows as fast as the list of Delhi's problems, a collapsed bridge here, a shoddy athletes' village there. Most of the construction should've surely been done before the monsoon. You don't need a psychic to tell you it will sometimes rain quite hard in Delhi during summer.
If the infrastructure was already in place (China has already finished work on the athletes' village for the Asian Games being held in Guangzhou in November), the public could get excited about this sporting event and the organizers could focus on the pressing matter of security, rather than a leaky roof above a ping pong table.
On a very basic level with regard to the games, I view China and India as two students. China, the geeky kid who aims for, and is likely to achieve top results, by hook or by crook. India, the sleepy slacker at the back of the class, shambolic but loveable, desperately cramming at the last minute to get through the big exam. The West, incidentally, is a jock.

Over a million baptism, marriage and burial records dating back to 1538 now available
First time that images of the original parish records from Westminster go online
Leading UK family history website findmypast.co.uk has today published online for the very first time parish records held by the City of Westminster Archives Centre. The Westminster Collection at findmypast.co.uk comprises fully searchable transcripts and scanned images of the parish registers, some of which are over 400 years old.
The 1,365,731 records launched today cover the period 1538-1945 and come from over 50 Westminster churches including St Anne, Soho, St Clement Danes, St George Hanover Square, St James Westminster, St Margaret Westminster, St Martin-in-the-Fields, St Mary-le-Strand, St Paul Covent Garden.
Debra Chatfield, family historian at findmypast.co.uk, said: "The Westminster Collection is one of the largest regional parish record collections we have ever published online and contains some truly wonderful gems. Family historians, wherever they are in the world, can now search this historical goldmine and uncover the fascinating stories of their London ancestors."
Today's launch marks the start of a painstaking project to preserve digitally the City of Westminster Archives Centre's collection, and sees the first tranche of its baptisms, marriages and burials go online. The remaining records are set to go live over the coming months, along with cemetery registers, wills, rate books, settlement examinations, workhouse admission and discharge books, bastardy, orphan and apprentice records, charity documents, and militia and watch records.
Adrian Autton, Archives Manager at Westminster Archives commented: "The launch of the Westminster Collection is of huge significance making Westminster records fully accessible to a global audience. This resource will be of immense value to anyone whose ancestors lived in Westminster and to anyone wishing to study the rich heritage of this truly great city."
The records can now be searched free of charge by visiting the Life Events (BMDs) section at findmypast.co.uk, and then selecting parish baptisms or marriages or burials. Transcripts and images can be viewed with PayAsYouGo credits, vouchers or a full subscription to findmypast.co.uk.
The new Westminster Collection at findmypast.co.uk joins a growing resource of official parish records from local archives, including Cheshire Archives & Local Studies, Manchester City Council and Plymouth and West Devon Records Office, with many more in the pipeline and due to go live in the coming months. In addition over 40 million parish records from family history societies can be found at findmypast.co.uk in partnership with the Federation of Family History Societies.
About findmypast.co.uk
Leading UK family history website findmypast.co.uk was the first company to make the complete birth, marriage and death indexes for England & Wales available online in April 2003, winning the Queen's Award for Innovation.
Findmypast.co.uk has subsequently digitised many more family history records and now offers access to over 750 million records dating as far back as 875 AD. This allows family historians to search for their ancestors among comprehensive collections of military, census, migration, parish, work and education records, as well as the original comprehensive birth, marriage and death records. The company runs the official 1911 census website for England & Wales in association with The National Archives and has digitised several other record sets from the national collection.

I did not write this O Jordinio O on fanfiction.net wrote this.
Naruto and his Mother were coming back from buying that weeks groceries. Naruto's mom, Kushina, was wearing a tight, light blue blouse with the top three buttons undone, giving everyone a few of her considerable cleavage along with a light blue mini skirt that showed off her magnificent ass.
Naruto suddenly heard a guy from across the street say to his buddies, "Hey, look at the ass on that MILF."
Naruto turned to glare at the man, but he was quite shocked when Kushina gave the man a sexy wink and began to walk with a more seductive sway. She subtly lowered her skirt, showing off her dark blue thong. Naruto suddenly felt a strong sense of possessiveness over the woman, she was his! His Mother. She was his to fuck… 'Wait, what. No.. I can't…' He glanced at her swaying ass and bit his cheek, hoping the pain would calm his instant hard-on down. It didn't. 'Dad's out of town for the next few weeks. We can break her… make her ours forever.' His barely held self control shattered as a small part of his mind said this.

The Internet doesn't bring freedom. Not automatically, anyway.
That's one of the main messages of Rebecca MacKinnon's new book, Consent of the Networked, which had its New York launch at the offices of the New America Foundation last night. In a conversation with CNN managing editor Mark Whitaker, MacKinnon, a CPJ board member, said it's up to concerned citizens, governments, and corporations to make decisions about how the Internet is used. She contrasted the Twitter-powered revolt in Egypt last year with the "networked authoritarianism" of China, where corporations are collaborators in a system designed to preserve Communist Party rule.
"China is Exhibit A for how an authoritarian government evolves and survives in the Internet world," MacKinnon said.
By now, Chinese authorities' savvy use (or abuse) of new technologies to maintain its hold on power is old news. But it came as a surprise to the foreign reporters who were living in China, as MacKinnon was, when the Internet first made its appearance there.
"The Communist Party will never survive the Internet" was the consensus, she recalled. "That was in 1995."
In 2012, there are plenty of examples of the Internet's power to affect change in China. (Earlier this week, I pointed out a study showing that the Chinese government can be surprisingly responsive to scandals reported in the local media and online.)
But MacKinnon emphasizes that this does nothing to chip away at Communist Party authority. In fact, she argues, these Internet-fueled scandals may actually help keep the party in power, by improving governance at the local level. Any attempt to use the Internet to call for broader political reform gets shut down quickly, and can land a person in jail. Just ask Liu Xiaobo.
MacKinnon's book is about a lot more than China. Much of her focus is on corporations that hold enormous power in our privacy protections, the limits of our expression, and our ability to connect online. In some cases, these Internet corporations can enhance our rights and promote democracy. But just as easily, she points out, they can make people more vulnerable or extend a government's reach.
She makes the argument that we're having a Magna Carta moment. For those of you, like me, who had to consult Wikipedia for a reminder of what exactly the Magna Carta was all about, here's the gist: In 1215, the English people forced their king to accept a set of limits on his heretofore unquestioned power. In 2012, says MacKinnon, it's time for us to acknowledge the great power we've put in the hands of our kings -- Google, Facebook, and Twitter, to name just a few -- and get down to the task of limiting it.

Australian low-cost carrier Jetstar, has laid down the law for overweight passengers: one seat for the price of two.
Passengers who hit the 350 pound mark on the scale are now expected to pony up for two seats. So clearly, Jetstar = Fatphobic. However, it seems that Jetstar also = stupid, because the latest fat passenger to fly with them, Samantha Scafe, had her two seats booked across the aisle from each other. She is obviously suing for discrimination. What I'm curious about is whether or not they have passengers who look like they might tip the two-seat scale, stand on the baggage scale to get weighed in before the flight.
