CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.-Reggie Bullock had already knotted his tie and packed his travel bag, ready to put Virginia behind him. That's when someone mentioned to him that-after taking a dozen free throws in the first 14:16 of the game--his team had not attempted a free throw during a stretch of 25:21 that included the vast majority of the second half and included a 33-14 streak by a Cavalier team that typically considers a four-point burst a significant run.
Bullock started to reply to the question in that typical polite-but-ready-to-go-home way that you would have, too, if you had just lost your Atlantic Coast Conference opener. "Well, we weren't being aggressive enou..."
Then he stopped.
"Wait," he said. "You mean we actually didn't take a free throw? No free throws?"
That's it, Reggie. From the time James Michael McAdoo went 1-for-2 at the stripe with 5:44 left in the first half, to the time P.J. Hairston went 1-for-3 with 22.9 seconds left in the game, Carolina did not go to the foul line.
"Wow," Bullock said.
Wow, indeed.
Don't misunderstand: this is not at all an indictment of the officiating. Instead, it's a very telling sign of the kind of shots the Tar Heels were getting. Carolina simply wasn't getting the ball very close to the rim--partially a tribute to the tough Virginia pack-line defense--and putting themselves in position to draw fouls.
"It's not being aggressive," Bullock said. "It's not trying to draw fouls, and being lackadaisical on the offensive end."
He's right. You will read the usual stories about Carolina struggling on defense, or not having enough intensity, because those are the usual post-loss storylines, both this year and most any year. But the simple truth is that the Tar Heels didn't make enough baskets--or even get enough good looks at the basket--to beat the Cavaliers.
Tony Bennett told his team it had to commit to transition defense. "Against Carolina, you want to make them play against a set defense," he said. That's exactly what Virginia did. The methodical Cavaliers actually had more fast break points (five to four) than Carolina.
And when the game slowed down for the Tar Heels, they too often couldn't find the right shot at the right time. There were some early warning signs; Roy Williams pointed out a first-half stretch that prevented Carolina from building a more formidable halftime advantage. The Tar Heels took a 25-24 lead into the locker room, but they came up empty on three possessions in the final 90 seconds, including a contested drive to the basket with 30 seconds remaining instead of holding the ball for the final shot of the half.
"There were three straight possessions when we made bad decisions," he said. "It would've been nice to have a six- or seven-point lead at halftime."
Then, in the second half, the offense eventually turned nonexistent except for Bullock. This was the first game of the season--but probably not the last--when the Tar Heels clearly tried to run every crucial possession through their junior from Kinston.
You know what? It almost worked. He hit a big three-pointer with 6:42 left that cut into a seven-point Virginia lead, then nailed another one off a set play with 3:51 remaining that drew Carolina within 51-48. Forty-five seconds later, after blocking Joe Harris's nearly point-blank layup attempt, Bullock ran the floor to rebound a Dexter Strickland miss in heavy traffic in the lane, then muscled up a follow shot to drag his team within one. It was one of two things: either exhilarating because it was the best three-minutes stretch any Tar Heel has played this year, or depressing because it was all the more noticeable precisely because Bullock was having to do everything himself.
That's the problem: the above paragraph just described every Tar Heel field goal over the final 7:51. The Tar Heels got exactly two points from the rest of the team other than Bullock over that stretch-one free throw by Hairston and one by J.P. Tokoto. Both came well after the game had been decided.
It's not just that Carolina couldn't score. It's that they couldn't get very many good looks at the basket. Too many possessions--too many key possessions--ended in a forced shot or a turnover.
As an example of the forced shots, the Tar Heels got a great matchup when 5-foot-11 Jontel Evans was caught on Bullock with under three minutes to play and Virginia up by three. But his teammates couldn't find Bullock, and the possession ended in an 18-foot airball. At one point, which included a healthy part of the second half, Carolina went through a 1-for-11 stretch on two-pointers alone.
As for the turnovers, they weren't the driving-to-the-basket-trying-to-make-something-happen type of turnovers, they were simple miscommunications. In one two-minute stretch late in the second half, Marcus Paige threw away an inbounds pass when Strickland made an unexpected cut, and Leslie McDonald misfired on a pass near midcourt to Strickland. Gritty Virginia, of course, turned those miscues into three points.
In those must-score situations during the Williams era, you're accustomed to the Tar Heels pounding the ball inside. "Score or get to the line," the head coach says constantly, and his team couldn't do either in Charlottesville.
Despite his 22-point, 5-rebound, 0-turnover effort, Bullock mostly wanted to talk about a shot he missed. When the Tar Heels had visited John Paul Jones Arena earlier in the day for shootaround, Bullock had tried to impart a little veteran wisdom to the younger Carolina shooters. "If you shoot it too hard in this gym," he told them, "it's going off the back of the rim and you won't get the bounce."
After a Williams timeout with under two minutes remaining, Bullock got a decent look at a three-pointer from the top of the key. He shot it...too hard, and it did indeed go hard off the back of the rim.
"I needed that one," Bullock said. "I take that shot in practice all the time, and when I let it go, I thought it was in."
It wasn't. But on this night, it was the best option Carolina had.

Cyclists Faster Than a Plane in CA
The recent temporary shut-down of interstate 405 in California prompted a range of responses from those who normally depend on highway driving for their commutes. When JetBlue began offering cheap — and wasteful, and carbon-intensive — flights across the city from Long Beach to Burbank, a group of intrepid cyclists took to the streets to demonstrate the superiority of burning calories over burning carbon. From the NPR report: The flights inspired a group of cyclists to challenge JetBlue to a race. Members of the Wolfpack Hustle planned to peddle on a roughly 40-mile route starting near the Burbank airport to see whether they or a JetBlue passenger will reach Long Beach first. Cycling advocates said they hope to show that gridlock can be avoided without using a car or plane. "Everyone's freaking out about car traffic around the 405, bicycling represents a very viable alternative," cyclist Gary Kavanagh said. The result? Leaving their homes at the same time as a blogger who intended to run the security gauntlet at the airport and catch a flight, the cyclists arrived at their destination before the flight even took off. To make your own bike-related climate statement in California this fall, consider joining Green America on the Climate Ride, October 2 – 6, from Eureka to San Francisco.

An agency based in Abu Dhabi wants me to work with them with a monthly salary of 6,600 AED. Including full year health insurance and travel ticket. No housing and transpo.
Can I survive? what lifestyle should i expect with that salary?
6600 United Arab Emirates Dirham equals 1796.90 US Dollar.
In my opinion this is very bad offer but I never lived there so I don't really know.
As good freelancer / author / small entrepreneur you can always earn that money from home.
In my point of view. They have f**king law. The rules are crapy. You can't get full independent.
I live somewhere close. But i cant be 100% accurate. 6600AED is not much, you will survive, without savings tho.
That's not very much to live there. If you don't have any of your expenses covered, you should be better in France
How expensive is health insurance? If they are giving that to you for a year, that should be taken into consideration also.
I worked in Qatar for 2 years. Qatar's and UAE's currency is not that different. My salary was 7000 QR. You can live a quite decent life in that amount. At first i thought that rate was fair enough but when i got there, there are a lot of graphic designers who are less experienced than i am and earning more than i do. I would suggest you demand for more like 10k to 12k (depends on your experience). You can demand for a free accommodation and transpo. A lot of companies in the mid east are doing that. Accommodation (this is just a room and not the whole flat) is around 1.5k. You can have a room mate so you can cut the price down. Food is not that expensive. I would say 1k – 1.3k is enough for the whole month.
2000 a month ? thats Rent only in some places.
We currently live in the UAE. You can survive with 6.600 a month, but don't expect any luxury. Decent housing is rather expensive, and you have to pay the rent at least four months in advance.
Also, keep in mind that your visa is tied to the employment contract. So, if you lose your job, you'll have a month to find another one, or establish your own business, otherwise you'll have to leave the country. There is no freeloading around here.
Highly skilled personnel is in demand and usually better paid. As spinfx already said, don't accept an offer under 12K + housing.

Throughout your time at Princeton, you will meet so many people who will have an impact on your future. One of the groups that can be extremely helpful in the "career sphere," in particular, is alumni. Princeton alumni are great — they want to see and help other Princetonians excel in the world. They are also extremely well connected and want to help leverage their networks in order to give back to their beloved alma mater's students. Throughout my four years at Princeton, I've reached out and stayed in touch with many alumni — and have seen positive results through each interaction.
Tonight, Career Services is hosting their annual "Alumni Connections" student-alumni networking at Prospect House from 6-8 pm. Over 40 Princeton alumni from a host of industries and fields will be in attendance. Come learn how their major influenced their post-Princeton choice and also get advice on how to pursue your own career interests! RSVP today if you already haven't. This is the largest student-alumni networking event of the year and you do not want to miss it! Tables are arranged by industry and each student will receive a booklet with biographical information of the alumni participants.
Last year, I scoured the Alumni Career Network (ACN) and set up interviews with alumni in my field of interest. (Of course, I blogged about this and you can read all about it here.) This is a searchable database of Princeton Alum who have volunteered to provide career-related advice to Princeton alumni and students. There are over 4800 volunteers worldwide!
In addition to the alumni volunteers in the ACN, it is also important to maintain your connection to "soon-to-be alums," or graduating seniors. Some of my closest alum contacts/friends are from groups on campus. Since we were already friends (or acquaintances) on campus before they graduated, I always make sure I get their phone number or stay connected to them through Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. I made an effort to check in with them every few months to see how they were doing. Another perk is that since these alums already know me in such a personal capacity, they have been really influential and helpful throughout my time here. I feel very comfortable going to them to ask for both school and "real world" advice. They also are closer to my age so the Princeton experience (both highs and lows) is still pretty fresh for them.
Another important aspect of reaching out to alumni is the help they can give during the job and internship search. Want to speak to someone in a field you are interested in? Want some general career advice? Need help connecting in a new city? Want real job search strategies from a Princetonian? Alumni can help with all of this! Career Services also offers so many other student-alumni engagement programs you can check out: Princeternship, Princeton-in-Washington, the IMAGINE Speaker Series, and Alumni Panel Events based on Industries.
If you want some more advice on how you can connect with alumni, make an appointment with a career counselor. A career counselor might be able to give you targeted suggestions based on your needs and interests.
Hope to see you all tonight at Alumni Connections!

Internet law expert can explain labor board's latest social media ruling
If you gripe about your employer in a Facebook post, can you be fired for it? It depends, according to several recent rulings and advice memoranda by the National Labor Relations Board.
Wayne State University Associate Professor of Law John Rothchild, an expert on Internet law, is available to explain the board's position and the law as it applies to social media and employment. Rothchild of Ann Arbor is co-author of Internet Commerce: The Emerging Legal Framework (Foundation Press), a casebook that offers a grounding in the legal issues that arise in connection with doing business using the Internet, and other relevant publications.
Under the National Labor Relations Act, an employer commits an unfair labor practice if it fires an employee for engaging in "protected concerted activity." An employee's criticism of his or her employer may be protected, even if it is harsh and public. But not all criticism is protected. An Advice Memorandum the board issued in May concerned such a situation. The memo addressed the firing of a clerical employee at Skinsmart Dermatology who posted disparaging comments about her employer in a Facebook group messaging discussion. After her termination, the employee filed an unfair labor charge and claimed that her firing violated federal law. The memorandum concluded that it didn't because her disparaging comments were nothing more than an individual gripe.
What can you post online about your employer without the risk of losing your job? When can an employer fire a worker for online griping without violating the National Labor Relations Act? Rothchild can help journalists find the answers to share with the public.
He has been a member of the Wayne Law faculty since 2001. For 10 years prior, he was an attorney at the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Consumer Protection, specializing in law enforcement efforts addressing Internet-based fraud and online compliance issues. For several years, he led the commission's international consumer protection program. From 1987-91, he represented labor unions and pension plans as an associate with the Washington, D.C., law firm of Bredhoff & Kaiser.
To reach Rothchild, contact Shawn Starkey at firstname.lastname@example.com or 313-577-4629.

Cingrani dominates in DC
Tony Cingrani struck out a career-high 11 -- including four in one inning -- while pitching two-hit ball through the sixth, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Washington Nationals5-2 Sunday to avoid a four-game sweep.
Brandon Phillipshad a two-run single as the Reds (14-12) improved to a major league-worst 2-9 on the road.
Cingrani (2-0) pitched three perfect innings before Denard Span reached base to lead off the fourth -- on a strikeout and wild pitch. Danny Espinosafollowed with a double, but Cingrani struck out three more hitters to escape the inning without allowing any runs.
In doing so, Cingrani joined Joe Nuxhall, Mario Soto, Tim Birtsas and Frankie Rodriguezas the only Reds with a four-strikeout inning.
Cingrani also became the first Cincinnati rookie to strike out 10 in a game since Johnny Cueto struck out 10 San Diego Padres on July 22, 2008, and the first left-handed Cincinnati rookie to do so since since Dennys Reyes struck out 12 Pittsburgh Pirateson August 20, 1998.
The Reds, who had one hit in each of the series' first two games, found enough offense Sunday to lead from the first inning onward.
Cincinnati had four infield singles, and not only did No. 9 hitter Cingrani and No. 8 hitter Corky Miller score after their infield hits, Miller scored on an infield hit by Zack Cozart.
Joey Vottoprovided the Reds' only extra-base hit, a first-inning double that set the stage for Phillips' two-run single.
Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki doubled in the seventh, scoring Ian Desmond. Desmond then doubled in the eighth to score Bryce Harper, who walked in a 10-pitch plate appearance.
Ross Detwiler(1-2) allowed three earned runs in five innings, and his 11 hits allowed matched a career high.
Aroldis Chapman earned his fifth save in five opportunities.
The Reds road trip continues Monday night with the first of three against the Cardinals in Saint Louis. Coverage begins at 6 05 with Sportstalk and then the Royal Shell Vacations Inside Pitch on 700 WLW.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Stun, Mar 12, 2010.
That would solve the "too many shooting guards" problem.
LOSE. It's really bad to say it and to SEE your team lose every night. But let's face it, we won't be MUCH different next year if we DON'T get a 1 to 6° draft pick
My competitive nature won't allow me to lose intentionally. I just can't do it. If I'm bad enough to lose so much that I get the best draft pick so be it. But, I'm going to lose legitimately by being bad...not trying to doctor the ping pong balls.
You are a good person.
hope we dont draft another darco!!!!
That's long term tanking.
That my theory, but they apparently are going to lose anyway. Better find a good player with that top 6 pick - whatever it may be. Maybe something will change but I just do not see any quick fixes. Maybe at least 2 years from being a contender and that is assuming Dumars learns how to draft in the top 10. Have to wait until some of these bad contracts come off the books and that he does not make things even worse.
lol..I'm workin on it. I understand the whole tanking thing..but if management chooses to field an extremely poor roster to facilitate that end, that's on them. However, I do expect coaches and players to put forth 100% for their part (I'm lookin at you Sean Elliott)
Well, with the likely change of ownership, I think that is all up in the air. We can't assume any of the logical choices to return to prominence will be made based on the potential change. Team value, contracts on the books, and location will all be major factors in what roster moves get made in the near future and should a change be made, I wouldn't expect anything positive in the way of changes/team competitiveness for some time. I think the new owner will probably want to bring in his own group of people to run the team. That in itself will require a few seasons for the new management team to get their heads around running the franchise. Then you couple that with the roster moves the new management team will want to make to reshape the organization in their mold and you have a recipe for several years of bad basketball while things stabilize. I know that's a pretty pessimistic view of the transition, but we've seen teams change ownership and rarely does it result in a winning product right off the bat.
I really hate seeing them lose, but hopefully it will benefit in the end. I think that it is still pretty tough to swallow that they suck, and are just a shadow of what used to be. I know that it has been said before, but I hope that the losing hasn't or won't diminish team values and chemistry. Is there anyone in the top 6 that is a legit starter come next season? Is there anyone in the top 6 that has strong leadership skills? Is there anyone in the top 6 that will make this team better? If not, then we better brace ourselves for another year of stinking up the gym. With new guys no less! I just hope the contract dumps and possible trades wont yield another CV, or worse! But to keep things the same and expect different results is well you know! SO, I guess my answer is to lose.
NBA Power Rankings: Which Teams are Pushing and Which Ones are Tanking? | Bleacher Report Even the Bleacher bums agree that we are the 5th worst team...and all we have done lately is lose......
I dig what you're saying here Low. I'm not talking about Q telling his players to go out and throw up a bunch of AOTGs on purpose or play Kwame at PG. By "tanking" I guess I'm saying that rather than rolling Tay out there for 40 mpg and watching Rip put up 25 shots; I'd like to see some of the rooks get a chance to go out and learn from their mistakes and maybe develop a little bit. Anybody who's not part of "the future" should ride the pine for as long as it takes for dudes like A-Daye, Summers, JJ, Stuck, etc. to get some solid minutes to grow on. Hell, Joe shoulda prolly bought out Chucky two months ago and replaced him with a series of ten-day contracts (true PGs) until he found one worth keeping. I'm a life-long Pistons' fan and the team doesn't owe me any more victories this season. What they do owe me is maximizing their opportunity to improve the team for the future - even if it costs them possible wins in the present.
Better be careful, BDL. There are some people out there that think we can still make the playoffs if we use that lineup...
Use that lineup, dump everybody else and then use the money you save to give 5,000 free tickets to each home game. Back to profitability baby!
I really don't think this team has to make an effort to lose.
But how does that fit in with the "Win Now" group from 3-4 years back. [lose now is winning]
With the NBA strike looming in the horizon, we may have the time in the world to develop players During that time Villenueva can learn to play defense, Daye can bulk up, Gordon can find his range and Kuester can find a clue.
I forgot about that. Yes there may be a strike as too many teams are losing money under the current agreement.
Maybe...or in a more realistic sense: Well, I lay underneath a royal throne The gaudy paint was peeling Half an inch deep and twice as cheap Oh give me something to believe in Lyrics, Ian Hunter

Lake Sturgeon Reintroduction to the Coosa River Basin
What is a Lake Sturgeon?
LAKE STURGEON (Acipenser fulvescens)
Sturgeon are an ancient fish that date back to the age of the dinosaurs. They are a cartilaginous (nearly boneless) fish with a sucker-like mouth, shark-like tail, sensitive barbels (whiskers) under the snout, and bony scutes (plates) along the sides and top of its body. They are opportunistic feeders, meaning they feed on almost anything they can find, with a diet consisting primarily of invertebrates, insect larvae, crayfish, worms and mollusks. Size, weight and lifespan vary from species to species.
Most sturgeon are amphidronous, meaning they travel up freshwater rivers briefly to spawn, then return to the saltwater of the lower river and river estuaries for the remainder of the year. Of the 27 living species found worldwide the lake sturgeon is one of only a few that spends its entire life in fresh water.
Lake sturgeon are primarily found in the Great Lakes and Mississippi River drainage, but are also found along the Tennessee River and Coosa River basins. Originally considered a nuisance because they would entangle angler's nets, sturgeon had little value and were wastefully slaughtered in much the same way as the American Buffalo. About 1860, their value increased dramatically as the demand for their flesh, eggs (used for caviar), and other products increased. Over-harvest quickly occurred and their numbers dropped dramatically. In addition to over-harvest, dams that block spawning movements and water pollution have negatively impacted the species. Considered a threatened species throughout its range, its current population is estimated to be less than 1% of its original abundance.
Lake sturgeon are long-lived and can obtain weights over 100 pounds. Specimens up to 150 years in age and weighing more than 200 pounds have been documented. However, in their remaining range, most males live about 55 years and females about 80 years. Despite their long lives, sturgeon have very low reproduction potential. Most females spawn for the first time between 14-23 years of age, and then only every 7-9 years afterwards

Tuesday, July 24, 2012
One of the greatest things about our wonderful sport is its sheer worldwide nature. One thing the last 24 hours has emphasised is that the Gooner part is graced with incredible passion in this part of the globe.
Kuala Lumpur is no different to most major cities in the fact it is a mixture of the old, hectic, hot and traditional and the towering, sleek, air-conditioned and modern.
Sunday night's entertainment took in a bit of both with a walk round the very modern centre followed by the sights and sounds of the many bars and eateries in an area of Kuala Lumpur known as Bukit Bintang.
The liquid refreshment is relatively easy to deal with as a beer is a beer wherever you are in the world it seems. I am not embarrassed to say my grip of the Malaysian language has not improved since last year's visit, so while I am all for trying to eat in areas where the locals tend to, ordering food is still a bit of a gamble at times!
Yesterday arrived without too many 'troubles' so any risks taken on the consumption front seemed worthwhile and it was off in a taxi to the players' hotel, some 25 kilometres outside the city centre.
While I have seen many Arsenal shirts (of varying shapes and colours) only when reaching the hotel did the incredible enthusiasm of our many thousands of Asian Gooners hit home.
A 'Fans Party' in the hotel's ballroom saw incredible scenes of screaming, shouting and singing, the majority of the audience made up of Gooners from Singapore, Indonesia and of course Malaysia.
Those from Hong Kong and the Philippines were joined by representatives from places such as Australia, Norway and the UK making for an incredibly diverse room of Gooner passion.
A question and answer session and a quiz with 11 of the players pretty made up what was a highly-relaxing event, and for me it was worth attending to meet, chat to and admire our 'crazy' fans from this part of the world.
Rush hour in Kuala Lumpur is not pretty! Consequently heading back to the city for training at the city's vast Bukit Jalil Stadium wasn't easy but once achieved it gave the same fans a chance to see our squad put through their pre-season routine.
Hot and humid conditions must test even the fittest humans, but that can only prove advantageous at this early stage in the team's preparations.
The Hard Rock Cafe played host to post-training refreshment on this occasion, a real case of 'putting out the fire' after an extremely energy-sapping day.
Writing these notes sat by my hotel pool we now turn to tonight's first match of the tour. If last year is anything to go by it should be a noisy and colourful affair.
There are not too many of us UK Gooners out here but among the many (and huge!) flags and banners on show will be my well-travelled example!
Dealing with the heat and humidity I can't help but think back to some of the other places it has visited down the years. The sub-zero conditions of the likes of Moscow, Donetsk and Berne seem a long, long way from here!!

Paul Bloom:
The origins of pleasure
Why do we like an original painting better than a forgery? Psychologist Paul Bloom argues that human beings are essentialists — that our beliefs about the history of an object change how we experience it, not simply as an illusion, but as a deep feature of what pleasure (and pain) is.

Brinson upsets WBO #4 Melendez
By Bob Caico at ringside
Photos: Boxing Bob Newman
Local light middleweight Nick "The Machine Gun" Brinson (15-1-2, 6 KOs) upset world-rated knockout specialist Jorge "Destroyer" Melendez (26-3-1, 25 KOs) of Manati, PR by ten round unanimous decision Friday night at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, NY. Brinson took the fight on one-week notice but was in fighting shape and came out confident and controlled the first two rounds over his tentative opponent. Melendez opened up in the third round and traded evenly with Brinson towards the end of the round. The fight turned nasty in the fourth as Brinson landed a left-right-left combination that dropped Melendez for a short count. Brinson landed a follow up five-punch combination and seemed to be ready to end the fight. The dangerous Puerto Rican though caught Nick with a right hand that had him reeling against the ropes which the referee ruled a knockdown. Brinson barely survived the last 20 seconds of the round.
The fifth started with everyone wondering if Brinson would make it and Melendez did try to end the fight. Brinson to his credit survived the first minute and actually regained some control as the round ended. In the sixth Brinson used his jab very effectively and won the round easily. In the ninth round Melendez landed a punch behind the head that had Brinson writhing in pain and the doctors came in to check on him. Melendez was deducted a point for hitting behind the head. The scores were 96-92, 98-91 and 99-90 in favor of the new WBC International Silver Light Middleweight champion.
Lightweight journeyman Jose Alejandro Rodriguez of Guadalajra, MX dropped unbeaten Jeffrey Fontanez of Caguas, PR in round seven but did not do enough to pull out the win. The crowd booed the scores when they were read, 76-75 Rodriguez, and 77-74, 78-73 for the winner Fontanez. Fontanez controlled the action for the first half of the fight but the Mexican began to even things out in the second half. Fontanez remains unbeaten at 12-0 while Rodriguez slides to 19-11. The bout was elevated to co-feature status after a scheduled match between Jonathan Vidal and Mario Muniz was cancelled by the Commission when Munoz could not make weight.
Super bantamweight John Franklin of Kansas City scored a unanimous 6-round decision over Joshua Reyes of Vineland, NJ. Franklin knocked Reyes down early in the first round with an overhand right and that proved to be the difference on the judge's scorecards. Reyes fought back well in the second round but had his knees buckled on two occasions in the third from right hands. The knockdown had Franklin winning by 57-56 on two judges scorecards while judge Tom Schreck had him winning 58-55, the same as Fightnews. Franklin remains undefeated at 5-0 as Reyes loses his zero and slides to 4-1.
Lightweight Samuel Kotey of Ghana improved to 20-0 with an eight round unanimous over Guillermo Sanchez (13-9) of Buffalo. Kotey responded from a second round flash knockdown by applying constant pressure over the counter punching of Sanchez. Sanchez had a good fourth round, scoring with counter right hooks that had Kotey on his heels. Kotey switched to the body in the fifth round that shook the tiring Sanchez. Kotey kept the pressure on with shots to the body and head in the next three rounds while Sanchez occasionally countered off the ropes. He did just enough to earn the decision by scores of 77-74 and 76-75 twice.
Raynell Griffin of Las Vegas upset previously undefeated Jose Saenz of Kansas City in the opening bout at Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, NY. Griffin won a 4-round unanimous decision in a lightweight contest by scores of 40-37 and 39-37 twice. The southpaw Griffin landed looping left hands at will in the second round that opened a cut over the right eye of Saenz. He continued to beat Saenz to the punch with the right hand and earned the decision. Griffin now stands at 7-15-2 as Saenz settles for a 4-1 record.

You'll probably call it barmy but here goes...
I call it the wall. When I go into deep meditation, I noticed today that I feel, or I can sense a barrier of sorts, in front of me, like a wall. It's more inside my mind than anything external. I can almost feel it's pressure, solid and unyielding. It's subtle, but it's there, and I never dreamed it up.
Anyone have any idea what this could be?
Peace & Thanks

|mud bros
you wont need to use rottela as it tends to loosen all the junk accumulated over the years due to high detergent levels.
it is good oil tho
mobil 1 syn would be easyer on loosening crud
and still have great protection(something i dont think will help now)
i think the egr is external on the tpi so that kills that idea too.
i guess its just plain wore out
Oil is Shell Rotela.
The stock cam is actually 114.5 LSA.
Its a TPI setup.
The EGR crossover cooking the oil is a good thought although the blowby seems quite severe.
|mud bros
that cam should work well its not overly large
problem is the egr crossover in the manifold bakes the oil and turns it to crusty crap the tbi system also runs on the lean side raising the operating temp of the engine.
also sounds like your using cheep oil as better oil can handle higher temps before turning to coke.
Blowby Crispies
I took off the passenger rocker cover from my 350 small block and found black sand like particles along the edge of the gasket and also starting to form inside the cylinder head. I knew I had some blowby as it was coming out the breather which I had installed on top of about a 10'' high tube to try to keep oil off the engine.
PCV valve may not be as effective as it should as this is a TPI engine with the wrong cam and vacuum drops off immediately upon acceleration.
I take it this blowby comes from the rings and is making its way to the cover with the breather as its the easiest place to flow to.
The block was rebuilt about 30 K miles ago and taken out of my last truck and left in the garage for a couple of years.
I then took it to a guy that does alot of high performance stuff and he recommended honing and new rings, bearings, cam, lifters. This was from a visual inspection.
I had asked originally to bore it out .060 but he persuaded me not to.
Is it rebuild time or time to change the cam and hopefully get better vacuum for the PCV system?

Update: It has been confirmed that running back Vick Ballard will be placed on injured reserve and is done for the season after he tore his right ACL during Thursday's practice.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Colts running back Vick Ballard will miss the rest of the season after he suffered an unspecified knee injury during Thursday's practice. Ballard was added to the team's injury report on Thursday. That wasn't seen as a big deal until now. With Ballard gone, the Colts will depend on Ahmad Bradshaw to take on more work, and Donald Brown should be involved as well.
Fantasy Analysis:
You might not like Brown after a few years of unrealized potential, but I think he should be added in most leagues. Bradshaw will still be worked back into the offense slowly, so Brown will have some value as he splits the carries and probably sees some time on passing downs because of his receiving skills. Bradshaw's value gets a little bump up, but I wouldn't say he's an immediate RB2 because of this injury. The Colts still have a full season of keeping him healthy to think about. They aren't going to suddenly rush him and give him 20 carries this week. For this week specifically, I think Bradshaw is only an average flex play versus the Dolphins' strong run defense. He will own this backfield soon, but not right away.

text: My dream scenario.. #1) Larry Brown - GM. #2) Rick Carlisle - HC. #3) TANK, TANK, TANK. 10th place (in overall NBA standings right now) ~ 24-39, w/ 19 games remaining. Hypothetically speaking, we could finish as poorly as 24-58 (which wouldn't be THAT hard). That'd probably be enough to get us into top-3 pick territory. And, bad lotto-luck notwithstanding, that'd probably be enough to get us into position to add a legit superstar alongside Drummond in Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker. #4) Sign Greg Monroe to a max-contract extension and trade him for a pick high enough to get Marcus Smart. I like a lot of the trade options I listed in the previous post a lot, and I think most of them are realistic, but I like Marcus Smart more (along with his cheap rookie contract). #5) Sign a max-contract free agent. There are some nice RFA's set to hit the market, but top-tier RFA's are almost impossible to ink, and Lance Stephenson is the top UFA available (who fits). C: A. Drummond, MLE/LLE, J.

Xiong Scores Twice as Green Bay Ties No. 8 Marquette
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Senior Sabastian Xiong (Cottage Grove, Wis.) scored two goals, including the equalizer in the 85th minute, as Green Bay (1-0-1) earned a 3-3 double overtime tie at No. 8 Marquette (0-1-1) on Sunday evening at Valley Fields in Milwaukee. The Golden Eagles were ranked as high as eighth in the 2013 preseason top-25 national rankings.
The result finished off a strong opening weekend for Green Bay, who posted a 3-2 win at DePaul on Friday night. Head coach Dan Popik's team scored six goals in the two games against BIG EAST opponents, with four different players finding the back of the net.
"I'm proud of the team for getting a result on the road against a top-10 team in the country," said Popik, who is in his second year at the helm of the Phoenix program. "For the majority of the game, we were the better team, and the team showed great character and leadership over the weekend.
"I'm pleased that we scored six goals over the weekend but upset that we gave away five. This will need to improve heading into next weekend against Western Illinois."
Green Bay led twice on Sunday, but found itself trailing 3-2 in the waning minutes against the nationally-ranked Golden Eagles. That is when Xiong scored the equalizer, getting a cross from senior Sam Krenzien (Wauwatosa, Wis.), beating his defender and firing a shot past the keeper.
Xiong took another shot just 30 seconds into the first overtime session, but the ball missed wide. Marquette was able to get off just one shot in the 10-minute period, and freshman keeper Kyle Ihn (Wales, Wis.) kept it out of the net.
The suspense of a second overtime would have to wait more than 30 minutes due to a lightning delay, but when the two teams took the field again the Phoenix outshot the Golden Eagles 4-2. Ihn made another late save with under a minute to play to turn back Marquette's last chance. Green Bay junior AJ Patterson (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) had one last chance to win it for the Phoenix, but his header with four seconds left went high.
In the opening half, Green Bay dented the scoreboard first in the 24th minute. Junior Lawrence Talery (Coon Rapids, Minn.) connected with Xiong, whose shot from 18 yards out ricocheted off the post and into the net.
Ihn preserved the lead in the 43rd minute with a penalty kick save against Marquette's Axel Sjoberg. The freshman keeper stopped seven shots in the game for the Phoenix, but Marquette was able to tie the game just before halftime when Jake Taylor scored the first of his two goals for the hosts.
Talery made sure Marquette's momentum did not carry over to the second half, beating two defenders and tallying his first marker of the season just one minute and nine seconds after the break for a 2-1 edge.
Taylor scored his second goal in the 53rd minute to tie the game, and the Golden Eagles' went in front for the first time in the 66th minute on a goal from Coco Navarro.
Ihn and Green Bay kept Marquette at bay for the final 45 minutes, and Xiong's second goal earned the Phoenix an impressive result for the second-straight road contest.
Green Bay will open its home schedule this weekend, hosting Western Illinois on Saturday at 4 p.m. at Aldo Santaga Stadium.

(Content Advisory: Inspired by actual 1880s medical science, In the Next Room or The Vibrator Play comically explores loving connections between human beings, both emotional as well as physical. The play echoes historical medical discussions of the human body and depicts the administration of 'the vibrating treatment' to fully-clothed patients, and contains brief nudity. Children ages 12 and under will not be admitted without an accompanying parent or adult guardian. Children five years of age and under, including babes in arms will not be admitted.)
Nominated for three 2010 Tony Awards, including Best Play; Pulitzer Prize finalist, and winner of the 2010 Will Glickman Award for Best New Play!
In the Next Room or The Vibrator Play is a comedy about marriage, intimacy, and electricity.
The Story:
Set in the 1880s at the dawn of the age of electricity and based on the bizarre historical fact that doctors used vibrators to treat 'hysterical' women (and some men), the play centers on a doctor and his wife and how his new therapy affects their entire household.
In a seemingly perfect, well-to-do Victorian home, proper gentleman and scientist Dr. Givings has innocently invented an extraordinary new device for treating "hysteria" in women (and occasionally men): the vibrator. Adjacent to the doctor's laboratory, his young and energetic wife tries to tend to their newborn daughter—and wonders exactly what is going on in the next room. When a new "hysterical" patient and her husband bring a wet nurse and their own complicated relationship into the doctor's home, Dr. and Mrs. Givings must examine the nature of their own marriage, and what it truly means to love someone.
"Insightful, fresh and funny, the play is as rich in thought as it is in feeling...one of the most gifted and adventurous American playwrights to emerge in recent years...In the Next Room is a true novelty: a sex comedy designed not for sniggering teenage boys — or grown men who wish they were still sniggering teenage boys — but for adults with open hearts and minds." - The New York Times
"A play that's smart, delicate and very, very funny!" - New York Post
"If Henrik Ibsen and Oscar Wilde had decided to collaborate on a post-modern drawing-room comedy, the hotsy-totsy twosome surely would have turned out something very much like Sarah Ruhl's genuinely hysterical new work" - TheatreMania
"The playwright mines her subject for suitably bawdy humor without resorting to vulgarity. But what really gives the work its distinction is its sensitive exploration of the physical and emotional repression suffered by the women of the era, which has yet to disappear entirely....The play beautifully balances its humor and pathos." - Hollywood Reporter

Breastfeeding adopted baby
My husband and I have recently began thinking more seriously on adopting. The thought occurred to me, "if I adopt and infant while breastfeeding my other child, could I also breastfeed my adopted child?". Is this a possibility? Could I produce enough to breastfeed both children?
Would appreciate any advice on this. Thanks in advance!

Yes you can breastfeed your adopted baby.
The younger your baby is the easier it can be for the baby to latch on to your breasts.
If you are adopting a new born, as long as it is ok with the birth mother you can begin to breastfeed as soon as possible after birth.
I would make your wishes known in your adoption planning.
Here is an article about adoptive breastfeeding you may find helpful.

Hi loren_blue,
Yes sunnymumof5 is right. You can even breastfeed your adopted baby if you are not currently breastfeeding another child (i.e. you can induce lactation). You would need to be dedicated to this but it is certainly possible. Please also have a read of this article on our main site: Induced Lactation Adoptive Breastfeeding.
Warm wishes,

Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you both so much! Seriously. I bookmarked the articles. I had heard of inducing lactation but that it was likely to not be enough for your adopted baby. It has been a challenge to find comprehensive information online. I appreciate the fast responses! Thank you again!!

You are most welcome Lauren.
Please do post back with any other questions you have on this important topic.
Warm wishes,

text: Yuna has sent a thank-you letter to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who complimented her on her gold medal performance at the Vancouver Olympic Games, the U.S. ambassador said on her Internet blog Wednesday. "It was very humbling to read newspapers reporting that you had complimented my performance," said the 19-year-old in a handwritten letter to Clinton, posted on the blog of U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Kathleen Stephens. (url) the blog of U.S. Ambassador to South Korea: http://cafe.daum.net/usembassy/I2bb/68 -------------------------- Greetings, Netizens. All my friends in Korea tell me I missed a very special moment by not being in Korea when Yu-Na Kim skated for gold in the Vancouver Olympics. As it happened, I was battling jet lag in a Washington, D.C. hotel room the night of February 25, determined to stay awake long enough to see the women's figure skating competition. And as I watched Yu-Na skate her very best against an immensely talented field, I was imagining the excitement all of Korea was feeling. I was in Washington because Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan was scheduled to meet Secretary of State Hillary Clinton the following day, February 26. Yu-Na Kim's stirring performance set the mood for their meeting. Secretary Clinton began by greeting Foreign Minister Yu with enthusiastic words of congratulations for Yu-Na Kim's great performance. Secretary Clinton related how she stayed up the previous evening too (I imagine she always has jet lag, with her schedule!) to watch the skaters, and how she telephoned her daughter Chelsea to marvel together at the extraordinarily high level and beautiful performances. When Secretary Clinton and Foreign Minister Yu spoke with the press after their meeting, Secretary Clinton again congratulated Yu-Na Kim and Korea on such an impressive win. She said, "I'm very pleased to welcome the minister from the Republic of Korea, especially the day after that magnificent Olympic gold medal-winning performance. And I think, although it was one young woman who did so magnificently, I believe the whole country is celebrating. She was extraordinary." And while Secretary Clinton and Foreign Minister Yu covered many important topics in their working lunch, I noticed that the Korean press reporting afterwards was most focused on Secretary Clinton's comments about Yu-Na Kim! Still, it was a surprise when a few days later, Secretary Clinton received a handwritten letter from Yu-Na Kim thanking Secretary Clinton for her warm words. Handwritten letters of appreciation are fast disappearing in the U.S., though they are still considered a sign of good manners. I like the fact that Koreans still write them, and I especially like the fact that Yu-Na Kim's letter disproves the notion that enormous fame and success at a young age inevitably comes at the cost of lost humility and thoughtfulness. Clearly, in Yu-Na Kim, Korea and the world has a great young role model. Here's the letter, shared with permission. (An unofficial English translation of Yu-Na Kim's letter follows below. Please click here to see the original letter.) Dear Madam Secretary, My name is Yu-Na Kim, and I am a South Korean figure skater. As you could imagine, although the 2010 Winter Olympic Games have come to an end, I am still overwhelmed with joy. It was an unforgettable experience that will remain cherished in my memory. I owe my achievement in Vancouver to the passionate dedication of my coaching staff and the wholehearted devotion of my family. The affectionate support of my beloved fans has also been a source of tremendous energy. It was very humbling to read newspapers reporting that you had complimented my performance. It was all the more touching as I have always held deep admiration for the inspiring woman that you are and the momentous work that you do. As I strive to do better on the ice, it is highly motivating to know that more people are enjoying my performance and that your thoughts are with me, Madam Secretary. I will push myself harder. Thank you so much for your thoughts and gracious words. May God bless you and your family with good health and success. Sincerely yours, Yu-Na Kim South Korean figure skater And yes, Secretary Clinton and Foreign Minister Yu did talk about a lot of other important issues too! And finally, a photo from earlier this year, when American all-time great skater Michelle Kwan (now a graduate student at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy) visited Korea and conducted a master class with Korean Special Olympics figure skaters at Gwanghwamun Plaza. Michelle and Yu-Na are both natural diplomats who represent their countries well – as well as champion skaters!

President Barack Obama recently cited the courageous work of Sri Lanka journalist JS Tissainayagam as an example of a man who fought for human rights. The Sri Lanka journalist got in trouble with his government when he cited evidence that food had been withheld from Tamils during the recently concluded civil war in order to crush their spirits. He was sentenced to a jail term of 20 years for violating the Prevention of Terrorism act which makes it a crime to forment "communal violence." It is estimated at least 14 Sri Lanka journalists have died during the past three years and dozens have fled their homeland to prevent being arrested.
What then does the world do about such cases? President Obama made a speech, there will be protests, but will anything change in the increasingly authoritarian nation of Sri Lanka? Most probably this is an excellent time to impose sanctions since Sri Lanka needs trade.
Perhaps, the Sri Lanka government can secure advice from former vice president Dick Cheney who believes fervently in any Prevention of Terrorism Act. He IS an expert of waterboarding!

The Versatility Cover from Oeko Popo isn't like every other cover on the market. Yes, it's a cover, but it can also become an AI2 if you so choose, or you can even make it a Pocket!For starters there are two different diapers offered by Oeko Popo - The Versatility Cover (which I received for review) and the Trim Cut (TCS). Both come in 2 sizes: Size 1 (5-18lbs, complete with an umbilical snap for those early days) and Size 2, or the One-Size (8-40lbs). The biggest difference between the two is the width in the crotch of the diaper. The TCS has a (you guessed it!) trimmer fit, whereas the Versatility Cover is wider to accommodate fitting over a wider range of diapers.The Pocket Sleeve comes complete with gussets and it snaps into the cover (I received for review, a "snap in insert" so mine did not have the gussets, as you can see from my pictures). But, the gusseted sleeves would allow you to reuse the cover, just as with a fitted or prefold, but the diaper acts like an AI2/AIO or pocket!Custom Embroidery makes the diapers YOURS (or, ahem, your child's!) You can click here to see all the options available from Oeko Popo, or even suggest your own! I loved the goofy face on the back of the Oeko Popo I received for review! My big boys found it especially funny and anyone who has seen it has definitely gotten a laugh too!And the amount of snaps on the Oeko Popo guarantee that you will find a fit for your little one - Crossover snaps, 3 different rise settings, and two rows to adjust both tummy and thigh, as well as to prevent wing droop!
We have really enjoyed trying out the Oeko Popo. The fit is fantastic with all diapers that we have tried it with.We mostly used it with the Snap-In Insert that was provided with the Versatility Cover. The Snap-In Inserts are made out of 3 layers of microfiber and then a layer of PUL and are incredibly absorbent!
We have also tried it a number of times paired with a fitted diaper, and again, works great! The width was perfect for covering all fitteds we tried it with and we never had any leaks.We also tried this with a double-stuffed prefold for bedtime one night - and again, perfection! No leaks, dry baby, happy mama!
The Oeko Popo comes in a slew of colors - blue, red, green, pink, violet, orange and yellow, as well as a couple of prints - camo, jeans and whales. Combine this with embroidery and the amazingness packed into this diapers, and you have yourself a great alternative to other covers/pockets/AI2's out there!

False framing: Why is the NY Times spreading "half-truths" about global warming?
Blog ››› ››› JEREMY SCHULMAN
The New York Times' Elisabeth Rosenthal framed a front-page article around a series of attacks on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and its chairman, Rajendra K. Pachauri. But after suggesting in its original headline that these attacks somehow undercut the IPCC's "credibility," the Times waited until much later in the article to acknowledge that they are actually based on a series of "half-truths" and that "mainstream scientists" agree that they don't undermine the IPCC's conclusions that humans are warming the planet.
The Times has since replaced the article's original inflammatory headline -- "U.N. Climate Panel and Its Chief Face a Siege on Their Credibility" -- with a new headline that reads: "Skeptics Find Fault With U.N. Climate Panel."
But the article's false framing hasn't changed -- the Times treats the attacks on Pachauri and the IPCC as front-page news and relegates the evidence that the attacks are unfounded to page A9.
Here is the portion of Rosenthal's article that the Times chose to put on the front page of its February 9 print edition:
Just over two years ago, Rajendra K. Pachauri seemed destined for a scientist's version of sainthood: A vegetarian economist-engineer who leads the United Nations' climate change panel, he accepted the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the panel, sharing the honor with former Vice President Al Gore.
But Dr. Pachauri and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are now under intense scrutiny, facing accusations of scientific sloppiness and potential financial conflicts of interest from climate skeptics, right-leaning politicians and even some mainstream scientists. Senator John Barrasso, a Wyoming Republican, called for Dr. Pachauri's resignation last week.
Critics, writing in Britain's Sunday Telegraph and elsewhere, have accused Dr. Pachauri of profiting from his work as an adviser to businesses, including Deutsche Bank and Pegasus Capital Advisors, a New York investment firm - a claim he denies.
They have also unearthed and publicized problems with the intergovernmental panel's landmark 2007 report on climate change, which concluded that the planet was warming and that humans were likely to blame.
The report, they contend, misrepresents the state of scientific knowledge about diverse topics - including the rate of melting of Himalayan glaciers and the rise in severe storms - in a way that exaggerates the evidence for climate change.
With a global climate treaty under negotiation and legislation
In other words, the original headline, the new headline, and nearly everything the Times printed on the front page consist of simply repeating critics' attacks on the IPCC and Pachauri.
But are these attacks even true? One would have to read past the jump to find out. Here's a run-down of the article's problems.
NY Times Framing: Pachauri accused of "profiting" from outside consulting contracts. The Times reports in the second paragraph that "critics ... have accused Dr. Pachauri of profiting from his work as an adviser to businesses." The Times simply notes in that paragraph that Pachauri "denies" this claim.
REALITY: Pachauri says payments actually go to "prestigious nonprofit research center." Not until the seventh paragraph (after the jump) does the Times get around to debunking the profiteering allegation:
Several of the recent accusations have proved to be half-truths: While Dr. Pachauri does act as a paid consultant and adviser to many companies, he makes no money from these activities, he said. The payments go to the Energy and Resources Institute, the prestigious nonprofit research center based in Delhi that he founded in 1982 and still leads, where the money finances charitable projects like Lighting a Billion Lives, which provides solar lanterns in rural India.
"My conscience is clear," Dr. Pachauri said in a lengthy telephone interview.
Dr. Pachauri, 69, said the only work income he received was a salary from the Energy and Resources Institute: about $49,000, according to his 2009 Indian tax return, which he provided to The New York Times. The return also lists $16,000 in other income, most of it interest on accounts in Indian banks.
Dr. Pachauri acknowledged his role as an adviser and consultant to businesses, but he said that it was his responsibility as the panel's chairman to disseminate its findings to industry.
NY Times framing: IPCC errors call into question conclusion that humans are warming the planet. In the fourth and fifth paragraphs of the article -- on the front page -- Rosenthal suggests that "problems" with the 2007 IPCC report call into question its conclusion that "the planet was warming and that humans were likely to blame":
They have also unearthed and publicized problems with the intergovernmental panel's landmark 2007 report on climate change, which concluded that the planet was warming and that humans were likely to blame.
The report, they contend, misrepresents the state of scientific knowledge about diverse topics - including the rate of melting of Himalayan glaciers and the rise in severe storms - in a way that exaggerates the evidence for climate change.
REALITY: Scientists agree that the "errors are ... minor and do not undermine the report's conclusions," and IPCC calls one of the error allegations "baseless." Not until the ninth paragraph (again, after the jump), does the Times explain that scientists agree that the minor errors identified by critics do not undermine the overwhelming scientific consensus -- confirmed in the 2007 IPCC report -- that humans are warming the earth. After noting that "[s]everal of the recent accusations have proved to be half-truths," Rosenthal writes:
The panel, in reviewing complaints about possible errors in its report, has so far found that one was justified and another was "baseless." The general consensus among mainstream scientists is that the errors are in any case minor and do not undermine the report's conclusions.
Still, the escalating controversy has led even many of them to conclude that the Nobel-winning panel needs improved scientific standards as well as a policy about what kinds of other work its officers may pursue.
In one case, the report included a sentence that said the Himalayan glaciers could disappear by 2035. The sentence was based on a decade-old interview with a glaciologist in a popular magazine; the scientist now says he was misquoted. The panel recently expressed "regret" for the error.
The panel was also criticized for citing a study about financial losses after extreme weather events that found an increase in such losses of 2 percent a year from 1970 to 2005. That study had not been peer reviewed at the time, although it was later on.
The panel has called the complaint "baseless," noting that the study was cited appropriately and that other scientific data pointed to a recent rise in severe storms.
As Media Matters has documented, moreover, regardless of the IPCC's acknowledgement of the Himalayan glacier error, scientific studies do show that glaciers are melting all over the world.
NY Times portrays Lord Monckton as a credible critic. In the Times article, Rosenthal quotes "leading climate skeptic" Lord Christopher Monckton, apparently as a credible voice in the global warming debate:
Nonetheless, Christopher Monckton, a leading climate skeptic, called the panel corrupt, adding: "The chair is an Indian railroad engineer with very substantial direct and indirect financial vested interests in the matters covered in the climate panel's report. What on earth is he doing there?"
A former adviser to Margaret Thatcher who also assailed Dr. Pachauri in a critique in Copenhagen that has since been widely circulated, Lord Monckton is now the chief policy adviser to the Science and Public Policy Institute, a Washington-based research and education institute that states on its Web site: "Proved: There is no climate crisis."
Lord Monckton said the incidents reflected a pattern of willful misrepresentation by scientists with financial and professional interests that render them unsuitable to give neutral advice.
REALITY: Monckton is a conspiracy theorist who frequently advances climate-related falsehoods. What the Times leaves out is any indication that Monckton is an extremist who traffics in falsehoods and absurd conspiracy theories. In 1987, Monckton wrote an article in which he advocated requiring the entire population to undergo monthly HIV tests and forcibly quarantining "for life" those who test positive.
Among other climate misinformation, Monckton falsely claimed last year that the earth is in a "cooling" period and announced that carbon dioxide is "harmless." Monckton also claimed that the Copenhagen climate treaty negotiations were an attempt to "impose a communist world government on the world" and that President Obama would likely sign such agreement because he "has very strong sympathies with that point of view." Monckton went on to falsely claim that the treaty would have "precedence over [the United States] Constitution."
So if the Times story consists largely of reporting on a series of "half-truths" being spread by, among others, a dishonest conspiracy theorist, why doesn't the Times' headline and its first five paragraphs make that clear?

Mistakes costly for WS Majors
By Gerardo Bolong
Defensive lapses aided their opponents greatly in a West Seattle 8-4 winners bracket loss to District 10 Federal Way National at the 2014 Little League Majors baseball 11-12 ages All-Star 2014 state tournament held at West Seattle Bar-S Fields on Sun., July 13.
The loss sent the Westsiders into the perilous loser-out bracket where they must win out to claim the coveted berth to Western Regional action in San Bernardino, Calif. Next up was a Mon., July 14, game against District 11 Burlington Edison.
"This was a weird thing," said West Seattle manager Jason Woodward. "We played poorly on defense and didn't make the needed plays."
By the time West Seattle batted in the bottom of the second inning, Federal Way had claimed a 3-0 lead on one hit and two errors plus several wild pitches and passed balls.
With self-destruction on the immediate horizon, the home team West Seattle boys of summer clawed their way back into contention in the bottom of the second inning. Jackson Sullivan was hit by a pitch ahead of Max Debiec's walk. Paul Johnson followed with a single that bounced off the pitcher's mitt before the spinning ball bounced into the deep shortstop area for one run. During the same play series of events, Johnson advanced to second base on an error. Two wild pitches resulted in a West Seattle run ahead of a Jack Summers run-scoring single through the middle of the infield and the Westsiders drew even at 3-3.
District 10 pulled ahead for good in the top of the third frame by accumulating two runs on three hits for a 5-3 margin and added another run on a Nate Clow RBI in the fourth inning.
Muench singled in the bottom of the of the fifth frame before advancing to third after a wild pitch and ground out. A wild pitch enabled the West Seattle All-Star to reach home, matching FWN's single run that was scored in the top of the fifth. District 10 notched a final tally in the sixth to finish the game by scoring in every inning.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Jun 24, 2013.
Where's my dislike button...
If we're being (Lawrence) frank, I would rather have neither on the team. Datome can play some 2 with Pope and Singler.
I felt like the refs were totally against us the entire game.
Here is a box score and write up by a guy who watched the game in slow motion (to create his amateur box score): Pistons Open Practice Box Score and Thoughts - Detroit Bad Boys
So we have a preseason game tonight against Maccabi Haifa. We have to blow them out. The crappy Suns beat them by 40+ and scored 130.
MY Pistons depth chart for the guard positions: PG: 1. Jennings 2. Billups 3. Bynum 4. Siva 5. Stuckey SG: 1. Pope 2. Billups 3. Singler 4. Pizza 5. Bynum

Stuckey lover... we don't want your Stuckey love propaganda poisoning our threads.
Your absolutely right. He should have been behind Jerebko on the PG depth chart. There's also a couple guys who aren't currently on the roster that deserve consideration.
Isn't the first spot in Around the World a foot and a half from basket? Isn't he only in the L because of his shooting?
Haha, of course it was Chuckles. Awesome.
I'd put him behind Rip Hamilton and Vinny Johnson
I'd put him behind the Palace, where the dumpsters are.
You're right...doesn't seem like he's recyclable............
In todays Pistons news, Drummond, Monroe and Jennings have outscored Maccai 45-40 to take a 80-40 3rd quarter lead.
We will see. Maybe he'll carve out a niche somehow. He's not terrible, just doesn't have a game that works very well as a starter. And as a backup, we probably have guys that play the PG and SG spots better. He would be a decent backup PG for some teams out there-- maybe with some good shooters and no penetrators. It's a bad sign that Hammond doesn't want him...
Maccabi Haifa could use a decent backup PG.
To be fair, the Maccabi guys are probably having cultural assimilation blood flow Larry Brown issues.

I already wear bifocal lenses. Trifocals would just add to my problems. Besides, the area where a specific shooting correction needs to be made is the upper inner corner of the appropriate lens.
There are ways to do this, chief among which is to have a "spot" balsam-glued to your lens. Spots come in a couple of sizes, and can be placed anywhere on a lens, so you can have a very localized correction.
You could have special shooting glasses, of course. But I don't like to carry extra glasses. I have enough in my pockets as it is. Further, do you really think that a bad guy would be kind enough to wait, while I shift to my special shooting glasses?
So I don't use any of these solutions.
All of my pistol shooting is defensive, close-range work. I don't even practice at greater distances than 20 yards. Up that close, and shooting that quickly, it really doesn't matter whether I'm focussing on my front sight or on my target. Something's going to be blurry, and it doesn't matter a bit. (Usually, I do focus on my front sight.)
When I'm shooting at the really close distances, or in low light, I don't use the sights at all. (No, that's not as nonsensical as it seems.) Instead, I use the entire rear-end silhouette of my pistol, to make sure that I'm aligned correctly on any kind of target. I am practiced enough to be able to tell just from that silhouette, whether or not everything is in correct alignment. It's called—slightly erroneously—"slide shooting."
Closer than that, or in the lowest light, I shoot without ever seeing the gun. That, too, is the result of a whole lot of practice. No, I don't "shoot from the hip" if I have time to raise the gun, because hip shooting is usually pretty inaccurate at anything past "bad-breath distance." Also, I never shoot in the total dark, because if you are in the dark you cannot properly identify, or even localize, your target. If it's that dark, I'll be using a flashlight.
For rifle shooting, I do concentrate on seeing my front sight—if I'm using iron sights. A rear "peep" sight takes care of the rest, centering my eye automatically, even though it looks extremely fuzzy.
However, most of the time I use a low-power scope. That takes me out to about 1,000 yards, for "practical" (not bullseye) shooting, assuming a good zero and an accurate range-card (attached to the rifle).
Scopes in general will put everything, scope, reticle, and target, all on the same plane of focus. You see everything clearly. Since the scope I use is the "Scout" style, placed between nine and 12 inches from my eye, it is correctly within my normal range of eyeglass focus.
For all of the shooting noted above, I use my "everyday" glasses prescription, ground into the upper part of my lenses. The lower part of the bifocal is only for reading. For really close and finicky work, I take my glasses off entirely.
(Oh, yeah... I forgot to mention age: I'm 73 years old.)
Does that help?

The Freedom Center can be seen in the interview, and I'm guessing some of you might want to know a little more about it. I know it piques my interest when I see an operations center full of computers and giant displays. It makes me want to push buttons and stuff. Anyway, it's our main information center, where analysts monitor the entire transportation network and connect TSA with the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Aviation Administration, FBI, and other law enforcement and security agencies. When an incident happens such as a plane being diverted, a bomb threat, airspace violation, etc, the TSOC is fully involved in these types of scenarios. You can read more about the TSOC here.

The University's athletic training education program was the first in existence in New Jersey with National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) approval in 1980. Presently, the program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). The program has continued to produce knowledgeable, skillful, well-prepared athletic training students. Our students perform well on the Board of Certification examination, and our graduates are in high demand by both employers and graduate schools. With a degree in athletic training from William Paterson University, students will have the opportunity to pursue positions in traditional settings including high schools, colleges, and professional sports, as well as nontraditional, emerging practice settings including hospitals, sports medicine clinics, occupational health facilities, the performing arts, the military, and physicians' offices. The program also prepares the students very well for graduate school education in athletic training and other health professions.
Emerging careers in fitness, wellness and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation have increased the need for professionals with expertise in the field of exercise science. Our major in exercise science prepares students for a broad array of career opportunities in fitness, cardiac rehabilitation, exercise physiology, exercise therapy, and wellness programming. Job settings include corporations, hospitals and clinics. In addition, some professionals develop independent fitness consulting businesses.
The longest-running departmental program, the K-12 physical education teacher certification major, is an NCATE-accredited program. Within it, there are enrichment tracks in driver's education and health education (offered with the public health department).
The sport management program prepares students who want to work in a wide variety of sport venues including professional and collegiate sport, sport marketing and advertising, event planning, facility management, ticket operations management, and sport finance.
