Deviled Chicken Thighs
¼ cup Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1¼ teaspoons coarse salt, either kosher or sea salt
½ teaspoon dried hot red chile flakes, or more to taste
10 to 12 plump bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 6 ounces each)
Instructions: At least 30 minutes and up to the night before you plan to grill the chicken, combine the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and chile in a small bowl to make a paste. Coat the chicken thoroughly with the paste, rubbing it over and under the skin, working it as far as possible under the skin without tearing the skin. Place the chicken in a zippered plastic bag and seal. Refrigerate unless you plan to grill the chicken within the next 30 minutes. (If chilled, let the chicken sit at room temperature in the bag for 20 to 30 minutes before proceeding.)
Fire up the grill for a two-level** fire capable of cooking first on high heat and then on medium-low heat. Grill the thighs uncovered over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, turning to sear all sides. Move the chicken to medium-low heat and continue grilling for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, turning every 3 minutes or so. Watch for flare-ups, shifting the thighs away from the flame if necessary. The thighs are done when the skin is brown and crisp and the juices run clear. Serve immediately. Serves 6.
*A two-level fire has two temperatures available to the cook, one hot and one lower in heat level. With a gas grill, one burner can be on high and another on medium for instance, or with one gas burner, you can begin to cook on high, then turn down the heat level on that burner to finish. With a charcoal fire, you build more briquettes on one side than another, enough coals on one side of the grill to have a hot fire, and less coals to the other side, so that the grill stays cooler there.

Dr. Peter Hotez highlights the effectiveness of mass drug administration in NTD-burdened, African countries.
"Peter Hotez, professor of tropical medicine at US-based Baylor College of Medicine and a co-editor–in-chief of PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, says that integrated NTD control through mass drug administration (MDA) is now under way in about 20 African countries.
He adds that in some cases such activities are leading to the elimination of lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis and trachoma, while for other NTDs the prevalence is being gradually reduced."

Skip to comments.WTVJ Fires Reporter Jeff Burnside for Allegedly Editing Trayvon Martin 911 Tape
Posted on 04/25/2012 7:58:03 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper
click here to read article
I recall the investigation being launched after someone else in the media blew a whistle.
After this NBC should become ZBC.
Oh, I'm sure Jeff Burnside did this on his own without the knowledge or direction of anyone else at NBC...
yeah, that's the ticket.
How's your wife, Morgan Fairchild?
Oversight my Aunt Fannie...
He looks a bit like a Ted Baxter type to me.
I guess it took this long to negotiate the hush money. Burnside will live like a King.
NBC, was, last I looked a fully owned subsidary of General Electric. GE should become ZE.
OMG...is that him??? Bwwwaaaaahahahahahaha!
"I'm FREE, and I like to be FREE!"
so when does Jeff Burnside take over for George Stephanopolous on This Week?
Depends on the market, but I job shadowed once at a station, and yes the reporters edited their video. Network's another story though, but this was just an affiliate.
No, they give detailed instructions to the editors where they want the cuts to be made. My nephew is a film and video editor who worked for CNN for a while. He recently quit his job at a local TV station. He got a better job with a film maker, but he also said he couldn't stand the news business anymore. He said that they're all on a mission to change the world.
He told me there is absolutely no way that the Zimmerman 911 tape was edited by mistake, and claims that it was are bald-faced lies.
They had to explain to him what "editing" was. That kind of thing can take some time.
Journalism gone mad. And in Burnside's case, gone madly.
Ha. I crack myself up.
Reporters in the field sometimes do edit their own audio (not video) for a report. I work in media and have helped reporters edit audio.
Kind of a smug looking guy.
Perfect, LOL!
Looks gay to me. But then all the male announcers on TV look and act gay — and most of them are.
With it being the Miami market, I am almost sure an editor worked on the actual editing. Reporters do edit their tapes, but typically in smaller markets.
Could be. It is the IN thing now.
He blew that big time.....LOL Wonder who is going to pay him to speak on ethics now...
Great! and so's our daughter.... uh... Valerie Bertinelli... that's right... that's the ticket.
With that hair, he could be John Edwards' brother.
Oh libel against the reporter? I want blood libel on Trayvon's baby momma and baby daddy. Jesse Jackson and Sharpton belong in jail for infighting racial violence nation wide. And ABC, MSNBC / NBC and CNN should be shut down for lying on the airwaves.
NBC does not know whether is was intentional or a mistake. It is obvious it was intentional, deliberate, and provoking! The reporter was trying to make a name for themselves.
I smell vinegar.
John Edwards wanna be.
Love the hair.
Looks like he tried to manufacture an opportunity for himself to get a local exclusive on a race war.
Now that they've got them all stirred up, how many are going to die in the riots when they can't get a conviction?
Sheesh. Take it up the bum one time and people have you pegged.
I bet they are deleting e-mails and text conversations over there as we speak. Not to mention shredders.
He definately has the network news anchor hair.
It took right wing talk radio to call NBC out on this.
"Stay classy, South Florida."
nothing on air is an accident...
it shows because someone wants it to.
guarantee his name is more ethnic than Burnside...
i have to admit I have no clue?
is that from a TV show?
Jeff Burnside
I'm a reporter for NBC Miami. Got a story? Let me know.
Miami, Florida · http://www.nbcmiami.com

Sanford police shot up in first instance of violent protest over #trayvon. #nbcmiami http://lockerz.com/s/200189859
Jeff Burnside; @jeffburnside
I spoke to a smart Barry University class today about covering #Trayvon Martin. It reminded me how well informed the public remains!
What took so long???
"His hair was perfect...werewolves of London!"
Do you teach?
Ron Burgundy?
He's kind of a big deal.
Yep! He looks like the Ron Burgundy type. Only catching for the other team, if you know what I mean.

Although not necessary, it's interesting to have a first name, city, state and country (no email addresses will be used). Any information submitted becomes the property of Tennis Warehouse.
Please include any relevant information such as skill level and style of play.
Comments: This shoe is great for the price! It doesnt last very long but it did last my entire tennis season which is
about 3 months, in which I played everyday for at least 2 hours.
From: Akil, 5/13
Comments: I have had these for 6 months. I'm 200 lbs and play for about 6 hours every weekend, mostly doubles.
Unlike some of the other comments, the durability has been fine for me. No holes and the tread is still good. Plus, I like the styling
and cosmetics. The only issue I had was with the lack of cushioning. The previous Bercudas had a lot more cushioning than these.
However, I picked up some gel inserts, and after that I like these shoes a lot better.
From: Shawn, 5/13
Comments: Very comfortable. However, after 2 weeks (12 hours of playing time), the tread was worn out. I'm
assuming that in the next 2-3 weeks my toes will be sticking out of the bottom. Bought two pairs of these, thinking I was getting
a steal.
From: Jason, 2/13
Comments: I played in the original Bercuda's and like them. I bought these and found them wanting. The length
was about a 1/2 size short, the tongue is flimsy, and they have a cheap feel to them. I bought the Barricade 2's at the same time,
and they are better-constructed shoes that fit properly.
From: Al, 12/12
Comments: These shoes look great, but after a week of using them they fell apart.
From: Jorge, 11/12
Comments: These shoes were not too good. I played tennis about every day over the summer and during
school, and they were good up until the school year started. I am about half way through the tennis season and a squeak
developed in my left shoe. I only had the shoe for about 2 months and there is already a hole in both shoes. I rate the shoe a
3/10. The 3 is because it held up for half of the summer.
From: Cody, 9/12
Comments: I got these shoes for my son. He is 14 and played 2-3 hrs/day in August. The left shoe sole developed
a hole where the big toe is after one month.
From: Mircea, 9/12
Comments: I would give these shoes 8/10. The pros being that the traction is amazing and allows me to move and
stop better, it is lightweight, the looks are great, the fitting is snug and there is little breaking-in needed. The only con for me was
the width. I have wide feet and at the end of the day of hitting my feet feel a tad sore. So I if I had narrower feet I would definitely
buy another pair. As a result I will stick to buying Prince T9s that are especially made for wide feet.
From: Jeff, 8/12
Comments: These shoes are extremely comfortable. They are nice looking and have a good
fit. I direct a tennis academy of top juniors and I get the Barricade 7's from Adidas
through their pro sponsorship program, but I order any extra gear from Tennis
Warehouse. The 7's are a tough, durable shoe but they are not as comfortable as
Adidas' less expensive shoes. These are excellent shoes if you are practicing or on
your feet all day like I am. They don't last as long as the 7's do but very few shoes
on the market do. These are very easy on the feet.
From: B.A.W., 8/12
Comments: These shoes are great. I am a 3.5 player and have a wide foot
so I was a bit worried about how these shoes would fit. It took only an
hour to have these shoes broken in and they feel great. Very light
weight, not too high off the ground and enough cushioning. Lots of
stability. The fit of the Bercuda 2 is excellent. The heel was very
secure unlike many other good tennis shoes I have worn. I do not know
how long these would last but I have worn these shoes to play a few
times, each session lasting at least 2 hours. The looks of the shoe were also a highlight. Adidas,
please keep making shoes look like these forever!
From: Matthew, 7/12
Comments: I am a teaching pro and have been wearing these shoes for about a month. My court time is split
50/50 between clay and hard. It took about 3 days before they really felt broken in. I wear them about 5 days a week for most of
the day and have not had any problems with them yet. I think they will probably last me a year or so which is not bad considering
the price.
From: Cleve, 7/12
Comments: I am a 4.5 and have both the Barricade 7 and Bercuda 2. These had much quicker break-in and also
seem both longer and wider than Barricade. So far, durability has been good, but I have only played 4 matches on them. They do
appear that they won't last as long as the Barricades. The stability seems pretty good, although not as much as the Barricade, but
certainly acceptable. They don't have the same cushioning either being that they are light, but they aren't harsh. I haven't tried
the Barricade Team 2 as they don't come in 15s, but I would say that two pairs of Bercudas might be a better deal than one pair of
Barricades. Not sure how much better the Teams are, but I don't think you give up that much for the way cheaper price and what
seems to be decent durability.
From: Jon, 7/12
Comments: These shoes are really quite light and comfortable. Adidas
really did it by making that space where your foot bends,so this
resolves that cringe of the material. Brilliant Idea. I find it much
more comfortable to stay on my toes ! True, their not as supportive as
the Barricades but for the price you pay, their good = D Not sure how
long they're gonna last me though, that's to be tested.
From: Josh, 5/12
Comments: These shoes are really great and very good for a frequent player. I have
only tried them out on hard and grass, and they work well however I am
not sure about clay. They take 1-2 weeks to get used to but after that
they are really comfortable and feel like a glove.
From: Jose, 5/12
Comments: Just bought the shoes and played a 2 set match, loved the feel of them and stability was
right there. Will be interesting to see how the sole holds up. Great shoe for a great price and looks good.
From: Darren, 4/12
Comments: Great shoes for about the first 2 weeks like stated earlier the
rubber on the sole is very thin and I had it worn down within 2 weeks of
regular playing. Overall a good shoe just not up to par with my old shoes.
From: Sam, 3/12
Comments: The shoe only looks good, but not very supportive and a very
"weird griping" feel while running on the courts, like your legs don't
want to move. The rubber on the sole is very thin so not much durability
And they run half a size bigger then usual. if these were worth about
$15-20 cheaper then it'd be something. Very disappointing!
From: Yash, 3/12
Comments: These shoes look great. I wonder why adidas doesn't make their barricades look
like this!
From: Anon, 2/12
Comments: Just got these shoes and I have to say they are great and so is the price, I
couldn't have asked for more.
From: Javier, 2/12

Administration of annual oral high-dose vitamin D to community dwelling older women in autumn and winter months increases risk of falls and fractures
- University of Tampa, Tampa, Florida, USA
- Correspondence to Cathy R Kessenich

Vitamin D deficiency is an increasingly important worldwide issue. It is estimated that one billion people worldwide have vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency.1 Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to a multitude of problems across the lifespan. The importance of vitamin D and calcium absorption has been well documented. What remains unclear is the role of vitamin D in osteoporotic fracture prevention and specifically, the amount and regimen of vitamin D ingestion that is safe and effective in decreasing falls and …

U.S. Women's Junior National Team Journal with Gina Mancuso and Lilla Frederick
NOTE: Gina Mancuso (Bellevue, Neb.) and Lilla Frederick (Huntington Beach, Calif.) are members of the U.S. Women's Junior National Team competing in the 2008 NORCECA Women's Continental Championship at Saltillo, Mexico.
July 24, 2008
This is Lilla and Gina. We play Canada which is very exciting. We started off the day with an awesome practice. We then took a nap to make sure we had rest before our big match. It was now game time. USA really came out with a big punch by beating Canada in four. We were consistent the whole time and stayed strong throughout the match.
Our wonderful translator generously invited all of our USA family to his parent's house for an amazing feast. Parents, players and coaches enjoyed each others presence. The food was delicioso!! We probably had at least 20 shrimp between the two of us. It was awesome. All of our tummy's were satisfied. Hope tomorrow is another amazing day.

Jem Davies, the vice president of technology at processor designer ARM, will deliver a keynote at Advanced Micro Devices' Fusion Developer Summit (AFDS). The keynote will likely be dedicated to OpenCL, but it is noteworthy that the x86 company decided to invite the designer of competing ARM architecture to its summit.
Mr. Jem will deliver a keynote about ARM's history of heterogeneous computing, its future strategy, and ARM's support of standards, including OpenCL. Jem Davies is an ARM fellow and VP of technology for the media processing division at ARM, who is responsible for setting the technology roadmaps for ARM's media processing division including for graphics and video processor technologies. He is also responsible for advanced product development, technological investigations of acquisitions and member of ARM's CPU architecture review board (ARB) and is currently spearheading ARM's heterogeneous computing strategy.
AMD Fusion is the company's master heterogeneous computing strategy under which the company develops its accelerated processing units (APUs) and creates tools and standards that can take advantage of both x86 and massively-parallel Radeon cores.
AMD claims that ultimately graphics processing technologies should be similar and compatible on x86 and ARM platforms.
"What's often lost in the awkwardly-framed debate between x86 and the ARM platform is the importance of the GPU on either. To have software developers talk about how OpenCL works for them parlays into AMD's advantage with Llano, which offers 400 to 500GFLOPS of compute power in a device that's very thin, compared to 100GFLOPS of compute on a regular Intel or AMD CPU. [...] Mobile is still a growing market opportunity for AMD. We offer a differentiated design that's very attractive to a software developer," said John Taylor, director of AMD's client product and software marketing division, in an interview with CRN.

It takes time, willingness, and the perseverance to continue. The inevitable fact that people grow old is one good reason why people cling on to their prime health condition and keep it that way. As we already know, there are many way to get there and here are some of those means:
Maintain a Healthy diet
The saying "you are what you eat" is actually true. Most people who consume more than what they actually need get sick more often than individuals who eat just the right amount of food. Also, the type of food being consumed does a great deal to a person's health and vitality. This is why a proper diet should be observed and maintained. This is hard to accomplish which is why people should condition not only their bodies but their mind as well. Embarking on a diet plan isn't only a thing your body needs getting used to but your thoughts and ideals as well. While a lot of use love eating fast food, it actually takes a toll on our bodies and in exchange for that wonderful sensation of eating are health problems.
Instead of eating fast food (fat-food), try starting off with a clean slate of veggies and fruits. If you're not fond of eating these foods then you just have to force yourself whether you like it or not. After all, it's you who will end up benefiting from all this so better yet make a stand for it.
Do Workouts
Another means of getting your body in tip top condition is to work it out. Yes, the grueling time at the gym is actually necessary. On the other hand, you could always do it at home especially if you don't like crowded places. Some workout methods can simply be done at home with or without the use of gym equipment. Simple methods such as jogging, stretching, or just walking alone can get the job done and give you your daily dose of workout that your body needs to stay fit and healthy.

Anti-Piracy "Mafia" in Finland Raid House, Confiscate Winnie the Pooh Laptop
Jason Mick

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: South Park Studios)
The piracy police made one 9-year-old a very unhappy camper
Word to the kids: don't pirate files or your folks may have their houses raided and your toys seized.
A 9-year-old Finnish girl,
according to
, happened to be very into a particular local pop star named Chisu. So innocently, the 9-year-old went onto Google Inc. (GOOG) ubiquitous search engine. Lo-and-behold, the first result to pop up was
The Pirate Bay
, the world's biggest torrent and magnet-link site, which also happens to have been
launched in neighboring Sweden
The girl tried to install a program to read the torrent files she downloaded, but the downloads all mysteriously failed. Upset, she complained to her father, who took her to the store to purchase the Chisu album -- legally.
But it turns out that the downloads didn't fail. Instead they were malicious trackers, which flagged her home internet protocol (IP) address as an infringer. Working with her ISP, the local
Copyright Information AND Anti-Piracy Centre
(a sister organization to the
Recording Industry Association of America
) sent her father a suspicious letter, demanding a payment of 600€ and to sign a legally binding letter promising not to tell anyone about the payment or the threat.
[Chisu on YouTube]
Her father, confused, did not respond.
That's when local police raided the house in order to "assist" in the investigation. The father in the case recalls thinking that he'd wound up on the bad side of Mafioso or something, commenting, "I got the feeling that there had been people from the Mafia demanding money at the door. We have not done anything wrong with my daughter. If adults do not always know how to use a computer and the web, how can you assume that children or the elderly – or a 9-year-old girl – knows what they are doing at any given time online? This is the pinnacle of absurdity. I can see artists are in a position, but this requires education and information, not resource-consuming lawsuits."
The little pirate paid dearly for her "crime against humanity"; the armed police raiding her house seized her Winnie the Pooh laptop as "evidence" to be used in the case against her father.
There is a silver lining: Chisu, whose music the nine-year-old so-loved that she put her father in legal jeopardy, reached out to the family after hearing the story. She points them to her Spotify, where people can listen to her music for free, commenting, "I hope that the matter will be resolved soon and sorry to my 9-year-old girls."

Joonas Mäkinen of Finland's Pirate Party was outraged at the story. He praises Chisu's response, but complains the big media industry is holding artists hotage, leaving them with few real options to help abused fans. He comments:
It is sad to see how even the big artists have no idea what CIAPC / TTVK is doing in their name. And the worst part is that even after learning about this, like Chisu did just now and took part in the discussion on Facebook, they can't stop it since all copyright protection and monitoring is centralized.
I hope all musicians realize that the fan hunt that involves confiscating laptops and signing deals that require you to be silent about the payments are severely hurting the image of copyright and creators. Authors of works should actively rise up to say NO to what CIAPC/TTVK is doing if they wish to keep their fans.
The Pirate Party has
gained its first seats
in the European Union's Parliament, following public outrage at the Orwellian anti-piracy tactics that have been sweeping the continent.
The CIAPC confirmed, according to
, that the girl was among the pirates targeted by its anti-piracy sting operations.
"It's okay. The scenarios aren't that clear. But it's good looking. [Steve Jobs] does good design, and [the iPad] is absolutely a good example of that." -- Bill Gates on the Apple iPad

Every dog has its own unique personality and ways of thinking, and many times these are the traits that owners love most in their pets. However, some behaviors dogs develop can be unpleasant, such as jumping on guests, chewing on furniture or pulling on their leashes.
According to VCA Animal Hospitals, using punishment in the correct manner may help reduce how much a dog acts out. Before beginning punishment, an owner must make sure that the poor behavior isn't due to something that could be changed. For example, if a dog chews on furniture or shoes, but doesn't have any chew toys of its own, then the problem may be easily fixed by purchasing toys it likes. However, if it has adequate options for fulfilling its animal instinct to chew, yet still attacks chairs and couches, then punishment may need to be enforced.
VCA reports that to make punishment successful an owner needs to pair an unpleasant consequence with the poor behavior. Owners should try to use a device, like an air horn or a whistle when the dog is in the middle of chewing, as the noise will instantly break up what the dog is doing and the sound may irritate it.
Continue to use the mechanism each time a dog chews or acts out another way to let it know the noise will occur every time it performs the negative behavior. Saying "no" sternly right after the noise may also further help the animal associate the behavior with punishment.

Steve Gleason raises ALS awareness with inspiring column.
In 2006, New Orleans Saints safety Steve Gleason made a defensive play in the team's first home game since Hurricane Katrina that rallied the city and became a symbol of resilience. This week, he became an inspiration all over again with a candid column on SI.com�that details his battle with the terminal disease ALS. Gleason was diagnosed with�Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS),�also referred to as Lou Gehrig�s disease,�in 2011.�The average person lives two to five years after being diagnosed. The disease prevents your brain from communicating with your muscles, and as a result the muscles eventually die.�The cognitive process is not affected and the disease rarely affects the eyes, but patients with ALS can still hear, taste and touch. Gleason�s 4,500 word�column, which took him about four hours to type with�the help of technology that tracks his eye movements, is helping raise awareness for this relentless disease.��Someday soon we will all navigate computers with our eyes. When that day comes, remember you saw it here first. Keeping this perspective helps me think of myself less as disabled and more as a trendsetter,��writes�Gleason. A�study�published by the medical journal�Neurology�showed NFL players are more likely to develop ALS and Alzheimer�s disease. In the past 60 years 27 players have been diagnosed with ALS, and more than 27 people will die from ALS in the next two days. Gleason has not let this disease stop him from pursuing life adventures and live it to the fullest. To learn more about Gleason and his effort to raise awareness for ALS visit�www.teamgleason.org.

Skip to comments.AR magazines worse than murder in NY
Posted on 02/07/2013 4:58:36 AM PST by marktwain
Army veteran Nathan Haddad, who suffered a career-ending shoulder injury whilst trying to qualify for Special Forces, is facing a few other challenges. Five of them, to be precise: felony charges for possessing AR-15 magazines left over from his Army service. A politically ambitious and rabidly anti-veteran local prosecutor in New York State is pressing Haddad for a plea, threatening him with 35 years in prison for the magazines.
Ironically, one of the supposed motivators for New Yorks politicians to pass such draconian anti-magazine laws was the use of an AR to murder two firemen. The murderer was no novice: hed already served one term for bashing his grandmother to death with a claw hammer. One term? About typical for a murder before the very liberal judges in New York, the guy had been sentenced to 17 years, and was such a bad actor in prison that he did every minute (this is exceedingly rare).
Yes, you have that right: its twice as serious to possess empty magazines in the Red Queens state of New York, as it is actually up and kill somebody. Emily Miller of the Washington Times has some details:
Since 1994, magazines over 10 rounds have been illegal. This month, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed legislation that makes any ammunition feeding device over 7 rounds illicit in New York.
Mr. Haddad, who was medically discharged in 2010 after 12 years of service, was arrested when he was stopped by police on Jan. 6 in LeRay, NY. Through his brother Michael, Mr. Haddad declined to comment on the cause until after his Feb. 20 conference date to meet with the prosecutor and the judge.
According to Jefferson County Sheriffs office sources, Mr. Haddad was in the parking lot of a closed business at 7:30 p.m. when an officer asked him what he was doing. The police allege that the Fort Drum civilian employee said that he was meeting someone to sell the AR-15 style rifle magazines.
This is obviously much more serious than murder. What sort of selfless civil servant would make this case a priority?
Kristyna S. Mills, the chief assistant district attorney for Jefferson County, is prosecuting the case. Its against the law to possess these types of devices, she told me in an interview Friday. He was arrested in accordance with possession of these devices, and its our job to prosecute those cases that run amok of the law.
Now, thats the magazine scofflaws shes talking about. Murderers, shes got 17 years for.
We bet the murderers are real glad they didnt do something serious, like serve in the Army and have some leftover magazines.
The local paper also has some details:
Mr. Haddad was deployed four times during his decade in the Army, the Times reported in a story featuring him in September 2009. At that time, he was a staff sergeant with the 3rd Battalion, 85th Infantry, Warrior in Transition Unit at Fort Drum, undergoing aquatic physical therapy for an injury he suffered in South Korea during special forces training. He was discharged from the Army in October 2010, according to Fort Drum.
Disregard the South Korea special forces training bit, its an error.
Haddad also competed in the wounded-warrior Warrior Games while on active duty (even though his injury was a training injury, hes still eligible).
Staff Sgt. Nathan Haddad is a well-traveled young man. He has completed tours in Korea, Iraq, Alaska, Arizona and New York. Most recently this Operation Iraqi Freedom Soldiers travels have focused on training for the Warrior Games.
The Warrior Games are as close as I can get to fulfill a dream I have had since I was four, said Staff Sgt. Haddad as he checked the tension on his bow. And, the training and exercises are similar to that of the physical therapy that I do for my injuries.
Staff Sgt. Haddad is scheduled to compete in archery (recurve open) and shooting (100M air rifle prone) at the Warrior Games. He is focused on his rigorous Warrior Games training routine. He devotes three hours daily to archery and three hours to marksmanship, usually followed by a run.
Remember, to Andrew Cuomo, Kristyna Mills, and the power elite of New York State, this guy is not only worse than a murderer, but judging from the threatened sentence, over twice as bad.
You can do something about it here: Nathan Haddad legal defense fund.
Nothing more than a political prisoner.
Yet one more attempt to show appeasement to the powers that be - that DA is setting off fireworks to get attention - like one poster suggested on the comments on the webpage - to seek future political office...and she will sink this Army vet to do it...
She's scum - the state of NY is scum - and if it wasn't for all the capitalism - would look like the 80's movie with Snake Blitzkin running around...
If you like your rifles, magazines, and freedom - then move out of NY and send a message to those liberal states...
And he should counter sue for deprivation of rights under color of law using the Heller decision and the great words of our Founders.
Not that I think any judge in liberal NY would bite the hand that feeds it....
IMHO, it also shows the disdain most people have for 'the Law' when fines/punishments are so out of whack to the charge.
John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court stated in 1789: "The jury has the right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy." Samuel Chase, U. S. Supreme Court Justice and signer of the Declaration of Independence, said in 1796: "The jury has the right to determine both the law and the facts. " U. S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said in 1902: "The jury has the power to bring a verdict in the teeth of both law and fact." Harlan F. Stone, the 12th Chief Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court, stated in 1941: "The law itself is on trial quite as much as the cause which is to be decided."
This sure does sound like a clear-cut case of prosecutorial misconduct. They should throw the DA in jail and throw away the key. She's using this case as a ticket to move to Albany. What a miscarriage of justice.
I have been preaching this for 30 years, but a substantial majority of Americans are for the most part intellectually lazy, or just plain stupid.
It seems like he is the scapegoat they picked to frighten everyone else into obedience to a bad law.
One omission in the article is how much time he would have to serve on the plea bargain. Elsewhere it was suggested that they are so desperate to maintain this law that his choice is "30 days and disarmament for life (for a guilty plea) or 35 years in prison (getting out when he is 67 years old)".
30 days and disarmed for life, or 35 years.
Personally, I would go for the 30 days, then move to a gun friendly state and ask *them* to restore my gun rights. New York would be apoplectic.
At this point I would go for the 35 years. As long as we are willing to play their game we will continue to lose.
That its a felony to have these magazines is outrageous.
Perhaps Upstate NY should become its own state.
Great summary - thanks for posting. I'd like to post this to my FR profile page, if that's ok with you.
Unfortunately, you assume at some point, any point, in the process, there would be some semblance of justice involved.
There wouldn't be.
This is how they have maintained all their blatantly unfair and unconstitutional laws over the years, of which gun control is just one.
He would be convicted, and would have to serve four years in prison at each level of the appellate process. Even to get to the lowest federal level would take a decade and cost upwards of a million dollars.
And their federal district judges are in on the deal, as likely is the three judge panel of the circuit court.
This honorable man deserves a life outside of prison, as an unjust captive of a corrupt system.
While yes, the battle must be joined against these forces of villainy, it should be done at a better time and place, not in the heart of darkness.
Have at it. I just copied it from Julian Heicklen (dope smoking libertarian - LOL).
You're right but until we are willing to break a few rules they will keep the steamrollers moving.
They think we're suckers and I'm not sure they're wrong.
Really? What does the Govt Fiscal Year have to do with a soldier getting screwed over by a state that has passed laws to counter mafias and drug lords - but actually turns on veterans and its residents...the people of NY should have the right to own what magazine they want — they aren't the problem - it's the liberals in office that tend to go after easy marks - like this soldier...I take it you are from NY and were offended when I stated people should move out - and they should - and take their tax revenue with them to another state that allows freedom of arms and magazines - one NY is left with "give me" crowd - who's going to pay the govt bills then???
no, you called me scum, i told you to GFY...
"Shes scum - the state of NY is scum"
So your the state of NY? My comment is that the government of NY is scum - I didn't know a single person represented the entire state of NY? That the DA who wants to push this offense forward for political gain is scum - up to this point I didn't even know you and the one liners that you randomly place down throughout Free Rep.
I have friends and family that live in NY as well - and they are not scum - but "the state of NY" can be as being driven by the elected govt that has allowed a 30 rd magazine to be considered a felony - where it was the liberals that have allowed corruption to go unchecked - so instead of going after the entities that are the cause for such corruption - they go after a little curved metal box that can hold 30 rds.
Stop being rude and emotional - it's unbecoming. I found out long ago how corrupt states can be - and hold no loyalty to an individual state - they are more important values and traditions that transcend just a mere state.
You're one those personalities that if someone is looking your way you think they are looking at you - despite the fact there's a big flashing sign right behind you that says diner! Try to be a little more open minded and thoughtful before going out and throwing something like this down on free rep...everyone reads it - and soon everyone will not give you or your little comments the time of day.
Well - now that we got the pleasantries out of the way...I invite you to take a look at my website and share it amongst your friends - I believe we have the same effort at heart - Saving the US Republic from evil people...have good weekend.
saying New York sucks or California sucks is no different than saying America sucks,if somebody told you America Sucks... would you think they meant the government or YOU?
when you make a statement like you did, it is incumbent on YOU to make your point clear, not make those that read it have to ask you what you meant, that's not how this forum works putting the burden on those that read it to have to ASK you what you mean
that said, i'm glad you made it home in one piece

Soladiesel BD® and Soladiesel RD® are the first algal-derived fuels to be successfully road-tested in blended and unblended (B100) forms for thousands of miles in unmodified vehicles.
Both are compatible with existing infrastructures, meet current U.S. and European fuel specifications, and can be used with factory-standard diesel engines without modification.
Soladiesel BD® is a Fatty Acid Methyl Ester-based (FAME) fuel, which has demonstrated better cold temperature properties than any commercially available biodiesel.
Soladiesel RD® (Renewable #2 Diesel) is ASTM D975 compliant and has demonstrated a cetane rating of over 74, which is more than 60 percent better than standard U.S. diesel fuel.
Soladiesel HRF-76 is renewable diesel for ships. It's currently being used as the base fuel for testing and certification of renewable F-76. To date, Solazyme is the only company to provide the U.S. Navy with fully in-spec HRF-76.
Solajet™ is the world's first 100 percent algal-derived jet fuel, for both military and commercial applications. The fuel has been used in a U.S. Navy testing and certification program and has met all non-petroleum military specifications for JP5 jet fuel.
In the longer term, we expect to sell our oil directly to refiners, accessing their distribution infrastructure.
What a waste to spend that on the gubmint navy.
Should have had BP do it. They have incentive as a private corporation.
Plus it'll never work. I know algae from growing up in 70's Euclid swimming off E 206th beach and that green stringy stuff will clog up a jet engine for sure.

Short pixie hairstyle with stylish bangs
This pixie cut works well for narrow faces or delicate bone structures. Fine, straight hair also makes a good base, as the natural texture is enhanced by the cut. Here, very short black hair, highlighted with swathes of mahogany brown on top, is cropped into a cap with a broken outline made by finely-scissored or razored spikes. Deeply feathered ends form the hairline in front, curving higher over the forehead where the fringe is especially short. Ears are half-covered by longer wisps, adding to the charm of the look. Layers are most obvious on top, where they add texture and movement to the look.

quote InnerDemonBecause hardscoping implies campy, which implied noob tactics. Besides quickscoping is easier than hardscoping. For me at least anyways. Can't tell you how many hardscopes I miss.
quote KR_1250My favourite part of the entire paragraph was the statement that even animals have displayed the intelligence to evolve past this kind of behaviour however we find middle aged men trying to employ this in a video game designed for teenagers and young adults. I have no problems saying that last part either because in COD you'll generally find 6 year olds rushing (most unsuccessfully) however the older players camping in a corner.quote DuckReconMajorCamping, like noob tubing, quickscoping and all the other annoying things in COD only bother me when done excessively.The only time "hardscoping" is a problem is if you're in one of them "quick scope lobbies".
And honestly, I still don't see why camping is bad. If you're sitting still, I'm going to watch the killcam and know exactly where you are. Just makes the game easier for me.
None of these things ever bothered me until you got a whole team doing it, or with Q.S a whole culture of pre-teens doing it... badly. Camping en masse just totally bogs the game down and makes it very dull. In the nicest possible terms, campers should just go and play HC mode. Like kill-whores should get out of objective and go play TDM.
If used as part of a wider team tactic, or if seen infrequently then none of these things are very annoying. But some teams and especially some clans in TDM need a proper slap. We still ussualy beat camping clans, it just takes us the whole ten minutes.
Also the kind of campingmatter to me. Clever guy holding a building, moving from room to room and using a bit of intelegence about it ? Fine by me, its a valid tactic. As are snipers and machine gunners providing overwatch or area denial. none of that bothers me.
But one talentless dude sitting in a hedge, bin, room, glitch just being a little shit really annoys me. Especially if your repeatedly killing them and they just keep doing the same thing. Its not annoying because they are getting good scores or kills... they dont. Its annoying because it shows a real depth of human stupidity that most animals have surpassed.
Again i repeat, camping never used to bother me, but the more i see the pathetic kind mentioned above the more its getting to me.
EDIT: Oh, and in HC anything goes including all kinds of camping. Most HC players are camping shits anyway. I know, i used to be one. Dont like it ? Dont play HC. I dont.

This week's review of reviews: 'Bully,' 'The Three Stooges' and more
The Columbus Dispatch - April 13, 2012 11:22 AM
Bully has been hounding movie headlines for the past month before it opened in Columbus
Central Ohioans were part of the 300,000 people who signed a petition to have the film's rating changed so that the controversial film could be seen by students. Plans were formulated to release the movie in an unrated format in select markets before reaching the final decision was made to edit profanity from Bully in order to obtain a PG-13 rating.
Despite the drama involved in its rating, Dispatch critic Frank Gabrenya found a lot to like about Bully while also identifiing some of its shortcomings.
" Bully packs emotional power, especially in the heart-rending testimony of the parents of the boys who killed themselves. Yet by concentrating solely on the bullied — the film might more accurately be titled Victim — director Lee Hirsch only skims the subject without exploring practical remedies," Gabrenya said.
Gabrenya rated the movie three stars.
The other movie grabbing box-office attention this week is a familiar name:
The Three Stooges. Some people can't wait to see how the new Stooges compare to the
slapstick hijinks that people remember from the original short films, while others feel that Larry,
Curly and Moe are icons that should be left to rest on their sacred legacy.
McClatchy critic Roger Moore believes that the latest incarnation of The Three Stooges is far from blasphemy.
"(Directors Bobby and Peter Farrelly)...manage the right tone, and they have scored with their casting. The new Stooges are affectionate homages to the originals: Moe and Curly Howard and Larry Fine," Moore said.

In people aged over 45, increased time spent sitting daily is associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality independent of physical activity level

Implications for practice and research
Encouraging and facilitating a decrease in patients' sitting time, whether during a hospital stay or in the community, may have important public health implications.
More research is required to fully determine the impact of greater amounts of sitting on health, and the health effects of an intervention to reduce daily sitting time.
Sedentary behaviour is defined by posture (sitting or lying) and low energy expenditure (<1.5 times the energy expenditure required for rest).1 The health effects of sedentary behaviour or sitting too much are not the same as the health effects of not getting enough moderate intensity physical activity. …

Skip to comments.Did we dodge a bullet in Presidential Race? Santorum/Akin Ilk (Vanity)
Posted on 08/24/2012 9:43:16 AM PDT by pistolpackinpapa
There was a time, this year, when I was rooting for Rick Santorum during the GOP Primary season. Then, he began to make statements that made me nervous. (Most of them, I worked hard at forgetting.) Since this "Todd Aikin thing", I've begun to wonder if we didn't doge a bullet by not nominating Santorum, who for all practical purposes, came in Second Place. I feared that if he got the nomination he would have a "Macaca/Legitimate rape" moment. To me, he and Aikin seem to be of the same ilk. Dunno.....just thinking out loud. Wonder if we didn't dodge a bullet?
I would rather Santorum than the liberal we got stuck with. I am sure I will make folks angry, but the "liberals" on here hate me already; so....
You are probably fine with Freedom of Worship as opposed to Freedom of Religion.
And I'm still calling you a noobtard troll.
I never did understand how conservatives could flock to a big government, regulation lovin', stab the conservatives in the back kind of guy....
not trying to be sarcastic, this is a legitimate question...
what about him drove you to back him?
Once Perry and Cain dropped out, I pretty much stayed neutral. But never wanted Santorum. His mouth would have written checks we couldn't have cashed - leaving us politically bankrupt. Like Akin.
I am more than comfortable in my faith. I don't need a preacher for prez.
Please don't think out loud, you are not good at it.
This whole election scenario is really starting to look like the whole Supreme Court healthcare too. I remember how confident everyone was that it was going to be overturned. It was just a foregone conclusion: Obamacare struck down by Supreme Court. And then the complete opposite happened and all the conservative intelligentsia were just shocked. Totally caught by surprise. Each one to a man Rush, Levin Hannity, Beck et al.
I'm starting to get the feeling that it's going to turn out the same way in November. I'm hearing a lot of bragging about how a Romney win is a forgone conclusion. This poll that's been right for 30 years says so. Nothing to worry about... until you see the election results on the night of November 6
If you think about it its kind of ironic.
We conservatives are purists but Mitt Romney's daddy stomped of the convention stage like a little girl in 64 and refused to endorse or support Goldwater. Moderates have been doing the same ever since.
You embarrassed by conservatives or something?
Well, I think Santorum is good on principles, but he is just not a very good politician, similar to Akin. So, yes, he probably would have had some stumbles. More importantly, he just doesn't have the right personality to win a Presidential race. He hardly ever seems fired up himself, so it is hard for anyone else to get fired up about him.
You must really hate socons.
Why are you here? What is your agenda?
You don't think there is anything SERIOUSLY wrong in saying that Boy Scouts should take homosexual scout masters?!
This thinking would doom us to having AP/NY Times/CNN etc. determine our candidates forever.
If Santorum makes you nervous, then maybe a Pawlenty-type would be more to your liking. He at least could count as a pro-forma conservative.
There were entire BOOKS written about Reagan's (and W's) supposed gaffes.
Heck, during the primaries, Reagan almost got derailed for telling an ethnic joke (Poles/Italians).
It is August, most of the country is not tuned in, Obama starts with 40% ... no matter WHAT he does. Republican X starts with 40% NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES.
And here's something that most people don't realize. Independents are not on average "moderates". They are all over the place but they don't like BS or pandering; they like what works without having to study too much about it. Perot persuaded many of them to support him in 1992. Reagan appealed to a large number in 1980.
Dole and McCain fit the mold of the kind of candidate that your are describing. Either might edge out an Obama today. A Santorum could beat him buy more, and actually do something conservative for a change, too.
Turn off TV news, avoid AP newspapers and the NY Times, and maybe lighten up on FR and talk radio for a while. Time to hit the reset button against all of this noise.
Hell yeah we dodged a bullet. Both Santorum and Akin are like two goofy Labrador puppies chasing after any treat the MSM throws out to them.
Romney /Ryan have their eye on the prize...the presidency, the senate and then the supremes. Run the table. To do this requires a disciplined message on Obama's failures and how to turn around the economy. To get dragged into debates on porn and "legitimate rape" would have been an epic failure.
What a stupid waste of bandwidth. This vanity is a vain waste of time.
Are you equally fearful that Romney will have such a moment? How about the person(s) you voted for in Congressional primaries?
If not, I'm surprised. Anyone can have such a moment. We're human, and we say things that don't convey what we truly meant to communicate. Add to that the MSM who is liable to jump on the smallest thing (or make things up if they can't find anything), and anyone can fall into what Akin has been experiencing.
When I glanced at the title of the thread I thought someone was proposing that we should somehow create a Santorum/Akin ticket at the convention.
"I miss Newt"
No. Santorum got a worse reception than he would have if Newt hadn't been the forum's first choice. But Santorum was running a strong second in spite of the efforts of the DNC, the press, and—I'm sorry to say, Mitt Romney, Drudge, and the whole Republican establishment.
The primary lie was that Santorum would try to force everyone to follow his Christian beliefs. That was a lie. He would hold up Christian morality as a model to follow, but he NEVER indicated that he would push it on anyone.
Romney, on the other hand, is perfectly happy to force gay marriage and taxpayer-funded abortion on us. It doesn't bother him a bit.
We don't need an enforcer in the White House, we need a model of decency in the White House.
Incidentally, the press and the propaganda dealers killed Rick Santorum, but in spite of all their efforts he came a close second behind Romney, and probably would have won if not for Newt's vote splitting and the lies of Matt Drudge and the rest of them.
As for you, I've noticed that you do a lot of trolling here in the forum.
I didn't know the election was over. I guess Romney won?
The dodged bullet (or doged bullet) went on to extinguish a unique innocent life. Oh well, as long as you feel better!
If one rightly believes abortion is murder, then it IS murder always. If a person believes in exceptions, then their position is not valid. The "exception argument" is purposely used by the murder advocates to stir up emotions in weak willed persons.
Akin stumbled over his tongue because he was trying to be PC, which is more of a statement about our moronic society than it is about Akin.
Sorry I even took the time to post on it.
1) Normal supporters who believed in him and once they saw who he really was or that he could not win went on to support another candidate.
2) Non-legit Sanotorum supporters who were really Romney supporters but were afraid to admit it. (they feared getting zotted from some of the conservative forums.
3) Today's Akin supports. Many in this group have an ego about the same size. An ego so big that they are willing to allow Obama's infanticide to become law of the land to teach the GOPe a lesson. Their candidate (Akin) was funded and still supported by the pro-abortortionist democrats. This group is so angry with the GOPe for Santorum's loss that they have the goal of pushing for an Obama victory so that they can say to the GOPe: "we told you so".
*to this day the third group (who supports Akin today) refuses to accept the fact that Santorum was in the bag for their enemy Mitt Romney all along.
**today they refuse to accept that Akin is supported by the very people they supposedly oppose.
Definition of insanity, please?
Note: Unfortunately they (group 3) have been outed and pegged for who they really are. And unfortunately we can no longer blame the RINOs for any defeat in 2012. This group #3 now owns that pending defeat. They make us conservatives look bad.
Pro-abortion, homo troll
Get off my computer screen
Are you having fun trolling? I sure hope so, because I'm having fun laughing at you.
The short and simple answer is YES, the party dodged a Huge Bullet by not having Santorum as the nominee. No matter how much that causes some folks here to scream bloody murder its the truth.
Santorum didn't lose his Senate seat by 17 points for no reason. Just go youtube the guy you can find inflamatory statement after inflamatory statement coming out of his mouth. Yes, when taken in full oontext most are not that bad, but its not the full context that gets played, its the inflamatory sound bite that gets played over and over 24/7 in attack ads etc.
Arrant nonsense disguised as precise analysis. What you wrote is nonsense.
We may have dodged a bullet in the primary but the one named Mitt Romney hit us square in the chest.
The risk of a "Macaca/Legitimate rape" moment is inversely proportional to the conservative principles of the candidate.
Romney does not get too emotional about Obama's attacks, but instead he and his team coolly and calmly plan and implement their rebuttals and counter-attacks against the Obama campaign. Romney has a very strong, positive, disciplined mind and he's a great counter-puncher against the extremely negative Obama campaign. Obama's campaign relies mainly on distortions and half-truths, and Romney just doesn't get too bothered by Obama's nasty campaign. Instead Romney counter-punches effectively and stays with a disciplined plan that started in January and goes all the way to election day. Newt is also mentally tough and a great counter-puncher, but I think he just has too much personal baggage to win a Presidential campaign. So like him or not, Mitt Romney is the strongest GOP candidate to run in this election against Obama.
He [Santorum] hardly ever seems fired up himself, so it is hard for anyone else to get fired up about him.To quote John McEnroe, "You must be joking." :) He was so fired up there was an issue in that regard (his wife had to tell him to "cool it") as he was coming across as a loose cannon, which he somewhat is. That being said, Rick wasn't perfect, but he would have been IMO about 100% better than Romney. Rick had (and still has) a great deal of prayers said for him too; I won't be surprised to see great things from him now and in the future.
Obama would likely be up +10 nationally against Santorum, or Gingrich, right now.
well said
Yes, Rick is a great speaker when speaking to a group of his supporters. He's absolutely one of the best at firing up a group of his supporters. But I think Romney is the best candidate to run against Obama this year. Please see post 37.
Since Santorum wasn't really a conservative (other than the fact he wanted to ban all methods of birth control), I'd say we dodged a lot of bullets when he lost.
Romney wasn't my first choice, either.
What a schmuck.
See my tag line.
What bothers me about the abortion threads are many are totally accepting, and even demanding, that federal government has a role in this issue. If abortion is considered to be murder, then it is a state issue. If abortion is a state issue, states can more freely control and limit abortion thereby saving some lives.
Good point.
are you my long lost twin???
I have gotten into many drag down arguments over the exact same thing...
I was even called a baby killer for saying abortion, if you follow the constitution, IS a tenth amendment issue..
every state that has tried to ban or outlaw it has been overturned by the fed....
I firmly believe a good deal of the people on this forum do not accept the saving of one life as a victory...
or the saving of an entire state's lives as a victory either..
all or nothing..
with that kind of thinking, it will always be nothing..
divide and conquer...
one state at a time
I just didn't see that. Seemed like a wet noodle to me. Not as bad as Pawlenty, but not really commanding any enthusiasm except from people who were enamored of him solely for his policy stances.
"If abortion is considered to be murder, then it is a state issue."
If abortion is murder, it's not solely a state issue. There would also be a 14th amendment civil rights issue, which would be a Federal issue.
I just didnt see that. Seemed like a wet noodle to me. Not as bad as Pawlenty, but not really commanding any enthusiasm except from people who were enamored of him solely for his policy stances.That's interesting, and Pawlenty was really boring I'll agree. We went to Rick's Rally in Arlington Heights, IL, and he was on fire, as was the crowd. The cool thing was there were all age groups there. Lots of youngsters (home-schooled) that had made their own signs (and seniors with canes, walkers, and crutches), etc. Most in attendance were [friendly] evangelicals; we were one of a handful of Catholics. :)

Concerns about Gladstone highway
The city of Gladstone might well be the most dangerous city in Michigan to drive through. The death toll at its only two traffic lights on US 2-41, M-35 is staggering. We have just experienced the loss of two more upstanding citizens last week.
How many individuals must sacrifice their lives at either of these intersections before the state of Michigan does something? Perhaps, flashing caution lights at least a half mile or more in advance, a second flashing light indicating a vehicle's speed and a reduced speed limit to 45 or even 35 miles per hour may be necessary to prevent further carnage along this less than two mile stretch of roadway. All options need to be considered since nothing else, to date, has seemed effective.

When I go to a brewpub, I�m usually looking forward to trying the beers they have on tap.
But, every once in awhile, I run into a situation that the particular beers they are pouring aren�t what I�m in the mood for. I�m usually left just grabbing a beer I�m not excited about.
Now, John Harvard�s Brewery & Ale House in Framingham is making sure beer drinkers have as many options available, adding two guest taps to the 10 house beers that are always on.�
�People today want choice and the craft beer movement has never been stronger,� John Harvard�s General Manager Bob Scott said. �Unfortunately we are at full brewing capacity on site so it came down to contract brewing or adding outside brewers to our offerings. We decided to focus on finding smaller craft brewers that may not have wide distribution. We know our customers and they love craft beer. They love our beer and they will be very excited to come in and try something that they cannot easily get at the store or at other pubs.�
Head brewery R. J. Shultz is in charge of picking the beers, and he said he worked to choose beers that compliment the beers he will have on tap.
The first guest brewery will be Jack�s Abby Brewing of Framingham.
There will also be several bottles from guest breweries available. Currently, the bottle selection is Allagash Brewing Company Four, White Birch Brewing�s Saison and Tavern Ale; Maine Beer Company�s Zoe and Rock Art Brewery�s Vermonster.
Overall, I think this is a good idea. Whenever you can give your consumer the widest range of choices is a good thing.

To clarify: a Twestival is not a Tweetup.
There's a sentence I never expected to write. But the clarification is necessary, apparently, because a lot—apparently—hinges on the distinction between the two. So, here goes: a Tweetup takes the let's use the Internet to get people off the Internet ethos of Meetup and applies it to everyone's favorite microblogging platform. Like Twitter itself, Tweetups tend to be friendly and and casual and conversation-driven and almost utopian in their vision of all that can be achieved when we leverage the power of the Web to create communities. (See also: Textival.)
A Twestival, ostensibly, operates under the same assumption—only it involves more people and more planning…and charity. (Twestival's motto: "Tweet. Meet. Give.") Last night's version, in New York City (only one of some 150 similar events that took place worldwide yesterday evening), was meant to raise money for charity : water. And raise money it did: according to Scott Harrison, charity : water's CEO, the NYC event alone raised over $20,000 to build wells for villagers in Ethiopia.
NYCTwestival, as you'd expect, pulsed with the kind of nerdy joviality that has become Twitter's default setting. Its venue featured a running Twitter feed (#NYCTwestival) that was projected against a giant screen on one wall of a cavernous dance floor. The feed moved rapidly, music swelled, iPhones glowed, dorkiness was delighted in (@veektor: "@mayafish and I are updating our apps in the corner. Wooooo!!!"), sociological wonderings were mused over (@johnsancheznyc: "Are the people at #nyctwestival actually standing around & tweeting at a party instead of talking? Both at the same time? I wonder!"), pragmatic queries were raised (@mayafish: "How did my iPhone get so sticky?"), pleas for help were proffered (@laurakb: "Just got a paper cut and am bleeding at the #nyctwestival anyone have a band aid?"), helpful advice was offered (@cckarl: "@Scott_Malish your fly is down."), aesthetic judgments were rendered (@dstrelau: "OH: That guy looks like Peter Griffin"), and well-dressed 20- and 30-somethings—many of the girls, in heels; many of the guys, in sneakers—offered incredibly insightful observations about the surreality of Twittering something and then seeing it right there, on a screen, in front of you. "This is, like, so postmodern!" a girl giggled into her BlackBerry.
So. Good, no? Sounds fun and community-minded and charmingly nerdy, right, like an event wonderfully suited to its impossibly chipper logo?
You'd think. But, then:
@thegiftd: "Dear #nyctwestival ure bollocks and yes I did that to get on screen. Yes I'm immature but this is a charity event that I had good faith in."
@mayafish: "I'm sorry, #nyctwestival was kind of gay. I mean like retarded-gay."
@chrismunns: "#nyctwestival was a joke and a waste of time. rip off drinks, rip off coat check. it wasnt twitter, it was fri night@meatpacking club 100%"
@ChazFrench: "Time for bed. #NYCTwestival #TwestivalNYC #Twestival. FUCK YOU, YOU LYING FRAUDS! FUCK YOU & YOUR SHEEP! YOU SUCK ASS!"
Yeah. Since there were plenty of people who had a great time at the Twestival (@funkybrownchick: "Oh my fucking god, if you're not at #nyctwestival you're missing out. I actually REALLY like the dance music / drunkfest. :)"; @vanillabean45: "had so much fun last night at #nyctwestival ears are still ringing! And I think I got whiplash from the extreme dancing teeheehee!!!")…why did, by my rough count, about half of those who Twittered reactions to the event exhibit: anger/betrayal/dismay/disgust/some combination thereof?
@Brucewagner hazarded a guess: "Some complaining that #nyctwestival was nightclub event, loud music, $16 drinks, imposs. to converse."
Yep, that could have been part of it. It could also have had to do with the following: that the nightclub in question was M:2, a west Chelsea venue of a particularly cheesy variety; that the music pulsing on the club's cavernous dance floor included selections from Justin Timberlake, Coldplay, LIPPS Inc. ("Funkytown"), and Daft Punk ("One More Time" ("we're gonna celebra-a-ate…oh, yeah…all right…don't stop the dancin'…")); that one of the screens running the slideshow set up by charity : water—yes, the ones depicting several images of African children gratefully slurping, essentially, mud—was unfortunately located directly above an enormous bar that featured no water, but beverages of almost every other variety; that the cost of said beverages was not included in the $20/$40/$60/$120 ticket price; that said cost was $16 (for cocktails) and $8 (for beer), before tip; and that the drinks' proceeds did not go to the charity.
As @stabitha put it: "Um, so fuck the price of drinks at @nyctwestival. Water charity, but whiskey is $16? Suck it." @EvilPRGuy echoed: "Dear #nyctwestival It's hard to stomach $16 drinks while watching videos of people drinking polluted water, we could have donated that $ too."
So, then. To extrapolate a bit from all this: many of its attendees wanted last night's Twestival to be a Tweetup. They wanted community, jollity, easy collegiality; what they got instead was a club scene, distinguished from any other only by a slightly-higher-than-normal ratio of iPhones to Amstels. But, still, if Twestival—and its hundreds of attendees—shows anything, it's that Twitter is growing. And going, in the process, from, you know, geek to chic. "I have never seen so many people Twittering in one place at one time," @thebigm marveled. "I feel, well, normal."

Implications for nursing practice
■ Care delivery in the home creates a unique and potentially challenging set of relational issues for the nurse, client and informal carer.
■ The communication skills, values, attitudes and behaviours of the nurse are influential in determining the dynamic of the nurse-client-informal carer relationship in the home.
Implications for nursing research
■ Further research is needed to examine the views of stakeholders on the factors that influence nurse-client-informal carer relationships in the home-care setting.
■ Further research is needed to examine the success of interventions to promote positive relationships among stakeholders in the home-care setting.
Care provision in the home is becoming increasingly common. To date, there is little available research which examines the home as workplace and the impact home care can have on interpersonal relationships …

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

It's not just our Chris Vognar, a psychiatrist gives 'Silver Linings Playbook' an 'A,' too
I don't usually turn to mental health professionals for their thoughts on movies (although I'm starting to think that could be a fruitful line of inquiry). But with Silver Linings Playbook garnering raves from our Chris Vognar and others, making it a possible player in tonight's Academy Awards, and the subject being bipolar disorder, I couldn't resist slipping in a question about it during an interview for a mental health story I'm writing for March 5.
I asked the widely respected Dr. Lloyd I. Sederer, psychiatrist and medical director of the New York State office of Mental Health, and author of The Family Guide to Mental Health Care (W.W. Norton & Company, $25.95), a practical guide due out in April, that clarifies that mental illness is a physiological disorder that is no one's fault and the best way you can help someone you love is to recognize the signs and work with professionals to navigate the disease.
His response was a rave, too.
"I loved Silver Linings Playbook," he told me. "I loved that it showed that these were people who had some bad problems that they were trying to figure out how to solve, but they were people first."
Too often, he says, people fall into the linguistic trap of saying someone is bipolar or is schizophrenic and lose sight of the fact that a person is not his disease; in contrast, he points out, you wouldn't say someone is cancer or someone is high blood pressure.
Separating a person from the disease and remembering that a person is more than a disease can be the first step towards healing, he says. But what about the psychologist in the movie, I asked him. Wasn't he perhaps getting a little too close to his patient?
"The psychologist may have been an odd duck, but the bottom line is that he saw his patient as a person first. And that's the first step towards helping people feeling safe about getting help. You've got to look beyond just seeing a disease. You have to help the person who is struggling with a disease because you care about them."

PRINCESS ANNE, MD. – (Dec. 6, 2013) – Two athletes considered pioneers in their sport and a man who recently announced his intentions to pay tribute to the duo will be formally honored Dec. 13 by the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
Calvin Peete and James Black, among the first African-Americans to integrate professional golf, will receive presidential medallions during the university's winter commencement where four students are scheduled to receive bachelor's degrees in professional golf management.
Joining Black and Peete as honorees will be philanthropist Carnelious Jones, who pledged to underwrite full scholarships for four African-Americans studying golf management at UMES. Jones requested two of the scholarships, each worth $125,000 over four years, be named after Peete and Black.
All three are expected to attend graduation exercises at the William P. Hytche Athletic Center, where UMES projects 335 degrees will be awarded that day.
"Mr. Black and Mr. Peete are the kind of historic role models and professionals that will inspire our students as they go on to their respective careers after graduation," UMES President Juliette B. Bell said. "Mr. Jones' generosity is another quality we hope they will someday emulate."
UMES awards presidential medallions to individuals the institution believes exemplify the values it has espoused since its founding in 1886.
Black, who lives in Charlotte, N.C., has become a frequent campus visitor since the university began offering a degree in golf management in 2008. He is a popular guest speaker at social functions and in classrooms, where he offers encouragement and talks candidly about challenges he overcame to play golf professionally when the sport was mostly segregated.
In 1964, Black's golf skills captured the sports world's attention when he became the first African-American to qualify for the U.S. Open, America's national golfing championship.
Peete burst onto the professional golf scene a decade later. He won 14 tournaments over a 26-year career, including 12 on the PGA tour. His signature win came in 1985 at The Players Championship at Sawgrass, the renowned "stadium course" near Jacksonville, Fla.
He received the 1984 Vardon Trophy, the PGA of America's award for lowest scoring average. His consistency put him in the top 10 of the Official World Golf Ranking when it debuted in 1986. Peete was the second African-American to play on the U.S. Ryder Cup team when he earned his way on to the squad in 1983 and again in 1985.
Jones, a Tennessee native, served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War and went on to build a petroleum wholesaling business in Baltimore with international clients. He recently invested in a sporting goods and apparel company.
Earlier this year, Jones was named a national trustee of First Tee, an organization that promotes youth golf programs. He said he sees supporting scholarships at UMES as a continuation of First Tee's work, especially among minorities who do not routinely engage in the sport.
