Uggla applauds ball-transfer rule clarification
ATLANTA -- Braves second baseman Dan Uggla is not fond of rule changes, so count him among those who were happy when Major League Baseball announced Friday its decision to clarify the transfer rule that has come under scrutiny since replay was expanded this season.
Once a player makes a legal catch to apply a tag or execute a force out, the out stands even if the player drops the ball while opening his glove to transfer the ball to his throwing hand.
"I was happy to see that it was noticed," Uggla said. "I guess everybody agreed, even Major League Baseball agreed that it should've been left the way it was, and they changed it back. So, it was a good thing to see."
Uggla was among several Braves happy to see the transfer issue addressed promptly rather than waiting to deal with it. Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez felt the transfer play "looks worse than what it is" when it was reviewed under replay rules.
"I think that they realized that it was really kind of not working the way they wanted it to work," Gonzalez said. "Why not change it? We have that capability or the power to do it, and I do applaud Major League Baseball for doing that."
Uggla added: "It was great to see them step in right now. We would've continued to see the same things throughout the rest of the year if they didn't and see everybody getting upset every time it happened."
Now that MLB has clarified the transfer rule, Uggla is hoping to see a revision to the new home-plate collision rule, saying, "it should have been left alone."
Uggla trusts umpires to make the determination whether a runner is intending to hurt the catcher via collision. His main concern is when the momentum or direction of a throw to the plate takes the catcher into the basepath.
"If a throw takes the catcher across into the baseline in front of the plate and the runner is still 15-20 feet away, 5-10 feet away and automatically calls [the runner] safe because the throw took the catcher in front of home plate, I think that's just a bad rule," Uggla said.

Well, you learn something new everyday, I hope
I was weighing the propriety of putting this up. Not because of any reason other than "do many people suffer from this?" but then co-author of our forthcoming GUT BIOME book, Tim Steele, gave me a clue that reminded me of an experience and it became necessary to put it out there.
The email from a non-anonymous source, name withheld by request for obvious reason.
First, I would like to thank you for popularizing the phenomenon that is resistant starch. Second, if you chose to use this story, please withhold my name.
In my early twenties I was eating SAD. A strange tumor, an abscess, formed near my rectum. After a lot of trouble it was diagnosed as anal fistula. Nasty condition. They said that the only form of treatment is an operation with some chance of success, but also with some chance that I would not be able to hold my bowels normally. So I decided to live with it, because I could live with it—and it would be better than involuntarily making a nasty mess someplace. Pain was there—blood and pus as well. But it was manageable.
10 years later I improved my diet and lost some weight, but the fistula was still there. I decided to check in with the doctors as new methods of therapy for resolving fistula had appeared. They started with an MRI scan and a colonoscopy.
…In the meantime I tried to lose some more weight with the help of The Potato Hack. I don't have a microwave at work so I ate them cold.
Imagine that, in two weeks, all symptoms of anal fistula disappeared, and AFTER 10 YEARS OF SUFFERING. JUST LIKE THAT: No blood coming out of it, no pus, no pain.
I was familiar with the topic of resistant starch, then suddenly connected the dots.
The doc, when he saw this, was really surprised. Me too. Now I'm taking [easyazon_link asin="B004VLVCGU" locale="US" new_window="default" nofollow="default" tag="fretheani0c-20″ add_to_cart="default" cloaking="default" localization="default" popups="default"]Potato Starch[/easyazon_link] religiously and not a single event from fistula. That never happened before. It was sometimes better, sometimes worse, but an absolute clean state was not achievable with any other approach (and I did try everything, trust me).
As my wife is a biotechnologist, she dug up a publication called Resistant Starch: Promise for Improving Human Health. Well, it certainly improved mine! I'm planning to show it to my doc. Perhaps he'll understand that this is not "alternative" medicine, but pure science.
RS healed me so far. It is now almost three months without problems (after ten years of suffering!) And that's for a condition that according to wikipedia is curable only with an operation.
So thank you, and for any chance that somebody with fistula will read this and this will help them also. That is the sole reason why I am writing this.
So after the story and that last line, I pretty much have to put it out there, right? Can you imagine the displeasure? What a quality of life improvement, if it works for anyone else.
Here's what Tim had to say:
Dogs get this all the time—usually diet related. Sled dog kennels in Alaska are notorious for feeding their dogs the cheapest, shittiest dog food they can find because sled dogs eat a lot. Try feeding dozens of big, hungry, cold dogs on a limited budget!
One of the common jobs that needs done at a sled dog kennel is "butt milking." They need to go and squeeze the pus out of the dogs asses (anal fistulas) so the dogs can poop.
Sled dog kennels that feed their dogs fish and raw meat don't have this problem, only when they feed them the crap in a bag that is $10 for 50lbs at Sam's Club. Makes sense that a diet change favorable to gut microbes would clear up anal fistulas in humans, too.
Human Anal Fistula: Looks dire; requires surgery and antibiotics!
Dog Anal Fistula: Just switch to better diet!
I truly believe that humans ought to start going to veterinarians for health problems. Free the Animal. But yea, one time the cute bitch started scooting on her ass a lot, so Bea had me take her in and the anal glands were the first thing the vet checked. Turned out to be a Mark I, Mod A itchy butt hole only. Poor things, lacking the easily available tools to deal with it. Now, knowing that, I just turn the garden hose on it.
…BTW, after about 4 days with Beatrice living at the dog hospital all last week, sometimes not getting back until 4am (out by 9), it was over about 1pm last Friday. In the end, it was renal failure that got my 10,000 mile walking buddy.
Here's my public Facebook posts about it for anyone interested, and thanks so much to all for the outpourings of sympathy on all channels. You people are great. Life is certainly easier. It's not any better. And being so sorrowful is silly. Or, it's not. Dogs aren't people…
Praise doG.

Cyclocross World Championships Hoogerheide, Netherlands
Photos to come
Belgian pride was salvaged at the 'Cross Worlds in the Elite Men's race, with Niels Albert winning the title. Zdenek Stybar (Czech Republic) repeated for the silver, as did the World Cup champion Sven Nys (Belgium). Belgium took six of the top ten spots, while host Netherlands could manage no better than 12th for Thijs Al; defending champion Lars Boom could not repeat in front of the home crowd, and finished well back in 20th place. Canada's two entrants - Derrick St John and Aaron Schooler finished 54th and 56th respectively, with St John having to run to the pit after breaking his chain on lap 7.
For the first lap it was a long, long line of riders as the leaders jockeyed for position. Albert attacked early in the second lap as the paced slackened for a second. It was up to the Dutch to close the gap, and they hesitated because their leader Boom wasn't near the front. This was all it took for Albert to get what proved to be the winning gap.
Steve Chainel (France) started the chasing effort, but Stybar soon overtook him to set off in solo pursuit. Nys and Sven Vanthourenhout (Belgium) were at the front of the group behind, but not doing much to encourage the chase in a group numbering some 20 riders. Boom pulled into the pit and changed bikes, but was still going backwards, so the Dutch were in disarray, and the French not capable/willing of towing the group containing the rest of the Belgium team.
At this point it was a two man race between the young stars Albert and Stybar. Stybar appeared to be slowly reeling in Albert, with the gap at a slender 12 to 15 seconds through the middle part of the race. This appeared to make the Belgian team nervous, and they sent Bart Wellens off in pursuit. However, he couldn't close on Stybar, so Nys jumped away, roaring right past Wellens and gaining ground on the leaders, with the fastest splits for laps 7, 8 and 9.
Albert, while losing time to Nys, began gaining again on Stybar, with 19 seconds advantage as he started his final lap, and Nys a further 21 seconds down. Wellens was hanging onto fourth, just in front of the chase group of 11. All four rolled across the finish in this order, with Francis Mourey (France) taking the half-hearted sprint for fifth.
Race Notes:
- While St John was disappointed with his mechanical, he took it in stride. "This is the first time at the Worlds for both Natasha [Elliott] and me, so it is a learning experience, and everything that I get out of it is good. Sure, it wasn't great [the broken chain], but by that point in the race everyone had pretty much settled into where they were going to finish, so it only made a little difference. I wish that I had had the legs that I had last week in Milan [at the World Cup], but that is something else I learned in how to prepare."
[It should be noted that St John was listed in the results as 'lapped', but he, in fact, was not actually lapped by the leaders. The officials decided to pull both him and Jens Westergren (Sweden) because they were only a minute in front of Albert's finish when they began their last lap.]
- The final crowd estimate for today was 30,000 (at least a third heavily inebriated).

Dallas ? May 11, 2012 ? Carroll Shelby International, Inc., (OTC:
CSBI.PK) announced today that Carroll Hall Shelby, a man whose vision
for performance transformed the automobile industry, has died at age
89. Mr. Shelby passed away yesterday at Baylor Hospital in Dallas. The
cause of death was not disclosed.

success stories. Championship-winning racecar driver, "flying
sergeant" wartime pilot, philanthropist, entrepreneur, car
manufacturer and racing team owner, he embodied the ingenuity,
tenacity and grit to overcome any obstacle. He is perhaps the only

waiting for a heart transplant, the charity is dedicated to providing
medical assistance for those in need, including children, educational
opportunities for young people through automotive and other training
programs and benefitting the Carroll Shelby Automotive Foundation.
Shelby remained active in the management of each of his companies and
the Foundation until his death, even though he endured both heart and
kidney transplants in the last two decades of his life.
"We are all deeply saddened, and feel a tremendous sense of loss
for Carroll's family, ourselves and the entire automotive
industry," said Joe Conway, president of Carroll Shelby
International, Inc. and board member. "There has been no one like
Carroll Shelby and never will be. However, we promised Carroll we
would carry on, and he put the team, the products and the vision in
place to do just that."
Shelby is survived by his three children Patrick, Michael and Sharon,
his sister Anne Shelby Ellison of Fort Worth and his wife Cleo.
Funeral plans are not currently available. Donations to the Carroll
Shelby Foundation are encouraged in lieu of flowers. Information about

Breathe Natural Rest. Feel tranquility and gratitude with this calming essential oil blend.
Feel better, do better, be better™.
Available In Sleepy MONQ R
Chamaemelum nobile
Chamomile is most widely used as a calming agent, because it has been found to both reduce irritability and lower blood pressure. It is also known to remove toxins and cool the body, resulting in relief from fever.
Piper methysticum
Kava leaves are known to relieve restlessness and induce a state of sedation. There are studies that show Kava may be an immune system booster, because of its flavokavain properties.
Lavender is a calming, soothing sedative. It improves the quality of sleep. Some say that it eases muscle discomfort, and studies show a decrease in computer errors when exposed to Lavender.
Sleepy also includes:
Bergamot, Lemongrass, Marjoram, Neroli & Sandalwood
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
This blend has the fewest essential oils, sourced from only 7 countries.
Breathe Sleepy therapeutic air® in MONQ R. Diffuse Sleepy Therapeutic Fragrance®. Feel Sleepy with MONQ Roll-Ons.
The primary ingredients in Sleepy are Chamomile, Kava Kava, and Lavender. All of these essential oils have calming and sedative properties.
Few essential oils are better than Roman chamomile for inducing a good night's sleep. It's ability to calm a stressed or nervous mind is profound. As a bonus, it is also a very safe and effective pain reliever. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties calm muscle spasms, especially those that accompany menstruation or an upset, nervous tummy.
Kava Kava is excellent at soothing situational symptoms of anxiety and tension, and it promotes a healthy stress response. This oil relaxes muscles and invites warmth and open-heartedness.
Lavender is deeply calming and balancing to the whole system. It is also a wonderful remedy used to promote skin health and is commonly used as an insect repellant and to soothe itchy and/or sore bug bites.
Stress and sleep are interconnected. When stress is present, it can be difficult to relax into a good night's sleep. Likewise, too little sleep may cause negative physiological effects on mood, cognition, and overall wellness, resulting in stress. While there are many effective means of coping with stress, one easy way to melt away the cares of the day is to feel the effects of lavender and chamomile-infused Sleepy. Breathe in Sleepy and breathe out stress.
A calm mind and body are necessary to induce quality sleep. For some, finding peace at the end of the day is difficult. Simple breathing techniques may help focus the mind and body inward, bringing a sense of calm and promoting a good night's rest. Complement these breaths with Sleepy, infused with lavender and chamomile, and breathe natural rest.
Screens are a reality of modern life, but they may hinder our ability to fall asleep. To establish a healthy bedtime routine, breathe in Sleepy MONQ and shelve the screens 30 minutes or more before bedtime.
"For a while now I've been having a horrible time trying to fall asleep. I tried other sleep aids but STILL couldn't fall asleep. Sleepy MONQ was able to calm me down, slow my racing thoughts, and now I fall asleep quickly! I'm definitely buying again!"

By Will Potter
Delegates are taking advantage of every opportunity to make their voices heard at this year's Representative Assembly.
The U.S. House of Representatives has approved critical legislation to keep teachers in the classroom, but the bill must still pass the Senate. Delegates are video-recording messages to members of Congress at the Legislative Action Center booth, placing a name and a face on the education jobs crisis. Delegates are speaking up about how to fix No Child Left Behind and reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
They're also donating to the NEA Fund for Children & Public Education, which helps education-friendly lawmakers. After signing up at the NEA Fund, delegates can also sign a giant banner which will be shipped back to Washington, DC and used in NEA campaign efforts: "We believe in a great public school for every student. We ask Congress to join us in turning this hope into action."

Since reading Northlands, I want to play a sapient polar bear – the responsible is the Kingdom of the Bear mentioned in that book (which, oddly, doesn't have intelligent bears). However, the true responsible for this post is Bailywolf's thread on RPG.Net. The text below belongs to him, while the mechanics are my take on his original design (for ACKS). Hope you like.
The Nordanbjörn (Sapient Northern Bears)
The Nordanbjörn are speaking bears, intelligent as men, but lacking the tool culture that comes easily to a people with such clever hands. They are long limbed, sleek in Summer, heavy and shaggy in Winter. They have jaws that can crush an elk's skull, and claws longer than a man's fingers. They have rough dexterity with their forelimbs, and can rise to two legs if they must, but they're not tool-users - at best, they can shrug on and cinch-up and a suit of dwarf-forged bear-barding. They have the senses of a woodland beast, and are well adapted to the harsh climate of their native lands.
They are relatively few in number compared to humans, but control a broad forested territory to the North - the Nordanmarches. The marches are a rugged and inhospitable terrain of mountains, icy rivers, dense ancient forests, and ice-broken rock. The hub of the civilization is the Sky Hall - a vast and ancient ruin made in a pre-human age. The females and young of the Nordanbjörn tend to cluster there, while the less sociable males wander the outer regions of the Nordanmarches, gathering only occasionally into bands for drinking and storytelling.
Nordanbjörn Racial Traits
+2 Strength, +2 Constitution, –2 Charisma
Large: Nordanbjörn are Large creatures and gain a –1 size penalty to their AC, a –1 size penalty on attack rolls, a +1 bonus to their Combat Maneuver Bonus and Combat Maneuver Defense, and a –4 size penalty on Stealth checks. Nordanbjörn occupy 10 ft., have a natural reach of 5 ft and – while walking on all four paws – calculate their encumbrance as quadrupeds.
Speed: Nordanbjörn have a base speed of 40 feet. Standing on two legs, their speed is 20 ft., they can't run or charge.
Bear-senses: Nordanbjörn have low-light vision and scent.
Brute Strength: Nordanbjörn gain a +2 bonus on Strength checks made to break or bend objects.
Red in Tooth and Claw: Nordanbjörn have 3 natural weapons – a bite (1d6) and 2 claws (1d6) –, and a +2 racial bonus on Intimidate checks.
Tough Hide: Nordanbjörn have a +4 natural armor bonus.
Winterborn: Nordanbjörn are acclimated to cold weather and have a +4 racial bonus on Fortitude saves against severe and extreme cold weather. They also receive a +4 racial bonus on Survival (only in cold terrains), Stealth checks (only in snow) and in all Swim checks.
Sapient Bears: Nordanbjörn are sapient bears and work a little different than the usual humanoid races.
First, they aren't tool users. While Nordanbjörn can stand on two, their upper limbs are limited to crude tasks, like carrying, pushing or smashing something. They can't use weapons (unless custom made and grafted to their paws), armor (idem) or wield normal humanoid items.
Second, they are large and quadrupeds, which limits their movement, especially in tight spaces.
Third, Nordanbjörn have enormous appetites and must eat (in normal climes) a number of pounds of food equal to 3 + their STR modifier (minimum 3).
Finally, due to their limitation in weapons and armors, a Nordanbjörn can choose to replace the Weapon and Armor Proficiencies granted by their 1st level class for improved natural benefits:
- A Nordanbjörn can replace their proficiency with all Martial weapons for the Improved Natural Attack feat (from the Pathfinder Bestiary) or Weapon Focus feat (limited to bite or claw).
- A Nordanbjörn can replace their proficiency with Light and Medium Armor to improve their natural armor bonus to +6.
- A Nordanbjörn can replace all their Armor proficiencies to improve their natural armor bonus to +8.
- A Nordanbjörn spellcaster can replace all their Armor proficiencies for the Natural Spell feat (even if he doesn't meet the normal requirements).
Unique Nordanbjörn Options
These are just some suggestions for the Gamemaster with Nordanbjörn PCs in their party.
Monster Feats: A Nordanbjörn could (with the GM's permission) buy monster feats like Awesome Blow, Improved Natural Attack, Improved Natural Armor and Multiattack.
Tool-User: A Nordanbjörn with Intelligence and Dexterity 13+ can buy this feat to use weapons or tools in general. However, these items must be sized for a Large humanoid user and the Nordanbjörn suffers a -2 penalty to all actions using such items (including attacks). Actions that require delicate manipulation (like lock picking) suffer a -4 penalty. This is a racial feat.
Powerful Bulk: At 4th level, a Nordanbjörn with Constitution 13+ can forego his 2nd Ability Score Increase to be considered of once size larger for the purpose of Combat Maneuvers while standing up. At 16th level, he can forego his 4th Ability Score Increase to gain the following modifications: Natural Armor +2, Dex -2 and improve the damage of his natural weapons by one step. At 20th level, he can forego his 5th Ability Score Increase to be considered of Huge size for all gaming effects.
Commentary: Powerful Bulk allows a Nordanbjörn to grow in size and power without stripping him of feats. By 20th level he gains basically 2 benefits – the reach of a Huge creature and, if he stands up, he can face use Combat Maneuvers as Gargantuan creature (like wrestling an old dragon, a task worth of a legendary northern bear).

The research vessel Roger Revelle, owned by the U.S. Navy's Office of Naval Research and operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, returns Friday to San Diego after a six-year deployment. (video)
During its mission, R/V Roger Revelle traveled to ports spanning the eastern U.S. seaboard and internationally to Samoa, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Mauritius, Seychelles, South Africa, Uruguay, Chile, Taiwan, Guam, Tonga, Fiji, Japan, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, and French Polynesia, among others.
"R/V Roger Revelle is the premier vessel in the Scripps Institution of Oceanography academic fleet. We welcome her home and applaud her captain, crew and ship operations for six years of superior support of sea-based science," said Cathy Constable, acting director of Scripps. "We look forward to the ship's return to sea and new expeditions that address vital concerns for science and society."
"Since departing from its home port in Point Loma on Dec. 1, 2006, R/V Roger Revelle has conducted 86 missions in many parts of the western Pacific. It has been seen in numerous countries and hosted many U.S. and foreign scientists. The science enabled by this ship's voyage is contributing new knowledge about the oceans and atmosphere, and will open many additional avenues of research. Our Navy is pleased to have such ships to use and share among federal agencies," said Dr. Frank Herr, head of the Ocean Battlespace Sensing Department at the Office of Naval Research.
The 273-foot ship's scientific missions involved explorations from the deepest parts of the ocean's remote trenches to the upper atmosphere, covering topics relevant to society and of significance to the U.S. Navy and national security.
Research projects covered a broad mix of science, including those related to global climate, ocean acidification, plate tectonics, volcanic processes, resource exploration, ecosystem dynamics, marine mammals, ocean waves and currents, and ocean acoustics.
Earlier this year, Scripps scientists and ship operations crews visited Vietnam for a series of ship tours and classes with Vietnamese scientists. That goodwill visit paved the way for physical oceanography expeditions planned off Vietnam in 2013, leading to the establishment of a new scientific collaboration between oceanographers from the two countries since the Vietnam War.
Before heading out of San Diego on an ambitious science support schedule next year, R/V Roger Revelle, launched in 1996, will undergo routine maintenance at a West Coast shipyard. Additionally, in San Diego, nearly $300,000 will be spent at local maritime businesses on Roger Revelle upkeep operations and maintenance.
"Welcome home Scripps vessel Roger Revelle. The importance of home porting in San Diego one of largest academic research fleets in the world is immense, ranging from the scientific achievements and worldwide recognition to the economic impact," said Michael Jones, president of The Maritime Alliance. "Over the next couple of months many hundreds of thousands of dollars will be spent on maintenance and provisioning of Revelle, all of which supports San Diego service providers and businesses. We are proud to be able to help recognize the extraordinary regional significance of Scripps and its fleet."
Roger Revelle (1909-1991), the ship's namesake, was director of Scripps Institution of Oceanography from 1951 to 1964. Long associated with the University of California, Revelle's vision and energies led to the establishment of the UC San Diego campus in 1960.
"It is wonderfully appropriate that the research vessel named in honor of Roger Revelle, the founder of this great campus, returns home on the occasion of UC San Diego's Founders' Day," said UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla. "This homecoming follows six years of exploration and is a prime example of the amazing work and research of our campus members over the last five decades."
The research vessel was named for Roger Revelle by the U.S. Navy to honor his scientific contributions. He was one of the nation's most prominent oceanographers, a pioneer of climate change research and a world leader in the application of science and technology to help solve problems in developing countries.

There were times last season when Maryland coach Mark Turgeon begrudgingly turned his offense over to freshman point guard Seth Allen.
There were times when Turgeon looked like a genius because Allen looked like a future NBA player. There were games -- such as the home win over Duke -- when Allen won a game nearly singlehandedly (16 points in the second half) after nearly losing it singlehandedly (eight turnovers).
There were more games toward the end of the regular season and then after Allen broke his hand in a practice during the team's NIT run when Turgeon had to give the job back to junior Pe'Shon Howard. There was some thought that Howard would have to be the stopgap next season until incoming freshman Roddy Peters is ready.
Now Howard is gone after leaving the program in April, Memphis transfer Antonio Barton isn't coming after picking Tennessee over Maryland on Sunday, and Turgeon needs to figure out his point guard situation once again for next season.
It looks to me like he has no choice but to go with Allen.
With Peters having not played in a competitive game in several months after undergoing shoulder surgery, Allen will likely go into summer workouts as Maryland's No. 1 point guard.
Many think the 6-2 sophomore is too careless with the basketball to run a team, at least one with NCAA tournament aspirations. Based on some of his performances last season, they might be right.
Some even think that Allen's ability to score, often at a high rate, would be compromised by having to get the ball to the likes of Dez Wells, Nick Faust, Jake Layman and transfer Evan Smotrycz.
But Allen is Turgeon's best option, and I think a kid whose ability to get to the rim and light it up occasionally from the outside makes him a pretty good choice the way the game is now being played.
I think back to something I wrote after the 2011-12 season, before Terrell Stoglin was thrown out of school. I thought he needed to be Maryland's point guard – for his sake and Turgeon's as well.
There are some who compare Allen to Stoglin for being selfish, for taking bad shots, for not trusting his teammates. Allen took his share of terrible shots last season, but I chalked it up to him being a freshman.
Before last season began, Turgeon talked about Allen's "Olympic-caliber" speed and athletic ability. That might have been a bit of hyperbole, but I see a little of Louisville's Russ Smith in Allen and a little of former Michigan star Trey Burke as well.
For the Terps to have any chance of going to the NCAA tournament this season, Allen has to be more Burke than Smith. But just as Indiana used Jordan Hulls as its point guard until Yogi Ferrell was ready – then started them together – I can see the Terps doing the same with Allen and Peters.
Allen has virtually no chance of making the NBA as a shooting guard, so taking on the point guard respeonsibilities for a good chunk of his sophomore year will certainly add to his resume down the road. I can see Turgeon using both of them at the same time as Peters gets more comfortable.
Barton definitely would have been a better option than Allen, or at least safer option. But Allen is not a fallback plan for Turgeon to follow. It's interesting to follow Allen on Twitter. His Twitter page has a picture of Allen and Howard, his mentor.
Among the entries over the weekend were these tweets from Sunday:
"You gotta ask yourself who gunna be here in the long run," Allen tweeted shortly after Will Barton tweeted that his younger brother was headed to Tenneessee.
"Who wanna hoop?" was another tweet from Allen an hour later.
You get the feeling that the kid thinks he's ready to run Turgeon's team.
I think he is, too.

The Spectacular Art of Jean-Leon Gérôme
Getty Center
This spectacle is the first retrospective of Gérôme's work in forty years, which means this is the first time a generation has been exposed to Gérôme like this. The Getty's reasons for the show are questionable since the Getty only has two works by Gérôme in its collection. Whatever the reasons, this show is an amazing spectacle of oriental color and classical characters. Gladiators, Vestal Virgins, residents of Pompeii, and even Caesar are all here. This show might even have been appropriately displayed over at the Getty Villa in Malibu instead of the Center.
Other than a major retrospective of French academic painter, the show is an exploration of the gross commoditization of Orientalism in art, showcasing the hypocrisy of European society's fascination with Eastern culture with its harems and bath houses. Dialogues on race and culture whether intentional or not, are a major part of this show, from naked little boys to polychrome statues of naked (or is it nude) women.
The exhibition rooms are painted in an appropriate "oriental" palette, ruby maroons, and deep aquamarines are as decadent as some of the scenes in Gérôme's paintings. The only problem I had with the color scheme was in just one particular instance where The Snake Charmer (1870) was displayed on a aquamarine blue, the clash of the mosaic wall in the painting against the wall it hung on was visual agony.
The exhibition runs the length of two large halls, at the end of the first hall in a small separated space of photographs from the Getty Research Institute's library. The selection of photographs are ones taken of the during Gérôme's travels to the Middle East and the Orient. Some of them directly relate to paintings in the exhibition, a photo of a tiled wall is the background in The Snake Charmer, another one shows the obvious inspiration for The Carpet Merchants (1887). The Getty Research Institute has been doing a great job at displaying its special collection of photographs, both at the Getty and elsewhere. There are some photos from the Getty' collection in the current Eakins's exhibition going on at LACMA (keep your eyes out for a post on that soon).
Down the second hall, full of more classical and Eastern scenes, one comes to the last room of the exhibition, which Christopher Knight of the LA times has rightly pointed out as particularly interesting. The room showcases Gérôme's later transition to sculpture. Gérôme's fascination with the artistic power of sculpture can be seen in his painting of Pygmalion and Galatea (1890). The myth serves as a theme for the room, which contains some of Gérôme's sculptures. One of the sculptures is the awkwardly sticking polychrome Corinth (1903-04), from the collection of a certain J. Nicholson.
The last work in the show is hung by itself: Gérôme's non-high-art piece, the advertisement Opticien (1902). The visual pun for "little dog," in French "petit chien," being devised here for commercial purposes. This work, while highly enjoyable and a much needed relief from the much heavier preceding paintings, is problematic for me. I don't know how to resolve the fact that I think a retrospective should be a sincere display of the whole range of a single artist, but at the same time this work is soooo out there. I might have approved of this work had it been snuck into the exhibition somewhere in the middle. But as it stands at the very end of the exhibition, it draws too much attention to itself, and seems like an insincere inclusion when compared to the tone of the rest of the exhibition.
Other noteworthy remarks: Where did all of these works come from? A major contributor of works was the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, the Metropolitan loaned several works, some from personal collections (i.e. J. Nicholson), and of course work from the Museé de Orsay! As mentioned in the posts about the de Young's exhibition of works from the Museé de Orsay, congrats once again Museé for effectively getting your pieces out there on display during your construction!
And a completely gratuitous additional painting, only because I have an obsession with tulips.

Here's an updated guide on how to root your Nexus S and Nexus S 4G on Jelly Bean, ICS, Gingerbread. This new method also installs TWRP recovery instead of ClockworkMod Recovery.
Warning: Unlocking your Nexus S/Nexus S 4G will wipe your personal settings/data/internal storage!
Step 1. Power off your Nexus S or Nexus S 4G.
Step 2. Boot into fastboot mode by holding down both Volume Down and Power buttons together.
Step 3. Once in fastboot mode, connect your Nexus S/Nexus S 4G to your computer via micro-USB cable.
Step 4. For Linux and Mac, skip this step. For Windows, make sure you've installed correct drivers. You can watch the video tutorial on how to do this.
Once your drivers are installed, you should see "Android ADB Interface" in Device Manager.
Step 5. Download NexusSRootICS.zip and unzip to a folder called nexussrootICS.
Download NexusSRootICS.zip
Open up a command prompt/terminal and browse to the directory by typing:
For Windows:
cd \nexussrootICS
For Mac/Linx:
cd /nexussrootICS
Next, type the following to unlock your Nexus S/Nexus S 4G:
For Windows:
fastboot oem unlock
For Mac:
./fastboot-mac oem unlock
For Linux:
./fastboot-linux oem unlock
Step 6. Hit the Volume Up button once and then the Power button to unlock your Nexus S/Nexus S 4G.
Step 7. Your screen should now say, "LOCK STATE – UNLOCKED".
Step 8. Next, type the following for Nexus S:
For Windows:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-crespo-2.0.0RC0.img
For Mac:
./fastboot-mac flash recovery twrp-crespo-2.0.0RC0.img
For Linux:
./fastboot-linux flash recovery twrp-crespo-2.0.0RC0.img
For Nexus S 4G, type the following instead:
For Windows:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-crespo4g-2.0.0RC0.img
For Mac:
./fastboot-mac flash recovery twrp-crespo4g-2.0.0RC0.img
For Linux:
./fastboot-linux flash recovery twrp-crespo4g-2.0.0RC0.img
Step 9. You can now go into Recovery by choosing RECOVERY from the fastboot menu.
Step 10. Next choose "Mount".
Step 11. Choose "Mount USB Storage".
Step 12. Copy the SuperUser.zip to the internal storage of your Nexus S/Nexus S 4G.
Step 13. Choose "Unmount" on your Nexus S/Nexus S 4G.
Step 14. Choose "Install".
Step 15. Choose "SuperUser.zip".
Step 16. Choose "Flash now".
Step 17. Choose "Reboot System" and reboot system.
Step 18. Your Nexus S/Nexus S 4G should now show the Superuser app, congrats you've successfully rooted your Nexus S/Nexus S 4G!

Remember when this used to be a knitting blog?
Let's revisit those days.
A couple of months ago a friend gifted me with a sock blank. I broke out the Kool-Aid and created this.
The blank became these socks.
I love them!
Full details are on the socks' Ravelry page.
Since I am a crazy dog lady, I took portraits of the dogs with the leftover yarn.
Sadie shared a zen moment with the yarn.
Luka was supervising the photo shoot.
After Sadie serenely posed with the yarn she enjoyed one of her favorite past times: rolling around on her back. Sadly, my yard is mostly dirt so she got a bit messy.
Luka is much too dignified to engage in such behavior.
The dogs and I have gone hiking a couple of times since my last post. These hikes are the highlights of the week.
The dogs always spend the first hour or so running off their pent up energy.
We usually take a break or two on our way to the reservoir.
The dogs know when we turn on the trail that leads to the water and they take off running.
By the time I arrive they've already jumped in.
Luka isn't fond of the drowned rat look and always like to shake when he's standing right next to me.
Every hiking trip ends the same way: with the dogs sound asleep on the way home.
The napping continues once we arrive home.
Milo fears his standing in the Sleeping Olympics may be in jeopardy so he practices harder.
Finally, the smoke from the Arizona wildfire hung over this area for several days last week. It was very annoying during the day (a thick haze and smell of smoke in the air) but the sunsets were spectacular.

Keith Richards' long-awaited memoir is about to drop, and it looks like more than a few barbs will land on the head of longtime bandmate Mick Jagger.
The legendary, death-defying guitarist calls the Rollings Stones' singer "Her Majesty, Brenda," describes Jagger as "unbearable" and says he hasn't set foot in his fellow Glimmer Twin's dressing room in decades. The 527-page book, due out Oct. 26, covers plenty of ground and offers anecdotes on such celebs as John Lennon and Johnny Depp. But the most interesting revelations served up by Richards in "Life" are about Jagger, who he's known for more than 60 of his 66 years.
"It was the beginning of the Eighties when Mick started to become unbearable," Richards writes in the autobiography, which fetched an advance of $7.7 million."Sometimes I think: 'I miss my friend.' I wonder: 'Where did he go?"'
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Richards told the Times of London that he gave Jagger a sneak preview of the book, and the only thing Jagger wanted omitted was a reference to Jagger using a voice coach. Richards refused.
"We've had our beefs but, hey, who doesn't? You try and keep something together for 50 years," Richards told the British newspaper, which is serializing the book. He added that the band was considering another tour.
"I think it's going to happen. I've had a chat with ... Her Majesty. Brenda."
Richards said Johnny Depp had been hanging out with his son for two years before he recognized the star.
"Then one day he was at dinner, and I'm like, 'Whoa!' Scissorhands!"
As for Lennon, Richards offers this: "Johnny. A silly sod, in many ways. I don't think John ever left my house, except horizontally."
Richards says he kicked heroin in 1978 after a fifth drug bust and stopped using cocaine after falling out of a coconut tree in Fiji in 2006, necessitating brain surgery.
"I loved a good high. And if you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep," Richards said.

Wildflowers In Perth
Environment Minister Donna Faragher today officially opened the 2009 Kings Park Festival under the theme Nature Inspiring Art. This years festival showcases the spectacular displays of Western Australian wildflowers found within the States Botanic Garden and how they have inspired a range of artistic productions. Western Australian artists will demonstrate their skills and nature-inspired art by school students will be on display. Other artists will be conducting creative hands-on workshops and display their artworks in the Botanic Garden.
There are many ways to celebrate our environment through this years Kings Park Festival, with free guided walks and local artists on hand demonstrating their nature-inspired art works, Mrs Faragher said. Visitors to the festival will have the opportunity to connect with Kings Park through a number of interactive events, including a night stalk through the bushland; bird and wildflower guided walks; and gardening demonstrations and presentations by Kings Park horticultural staff. The Minister said Kings Park and Botanic Gardens had an important scientific role as a world-renowned centre for botanical research, plant development and the conservation of endangered species.
The festival includes a varied program of free entertainment and activities, including the magical Lotterywest Wild Fairyland Festival on Sunday, September 20; and the Festival Marketplace on the Queens Birthday long weekend, which includes indigenous Dreamtime storytelling, craft and gardening stalls, the Friends of Kings Park plant sale, and free entertainment and music.
The 2009 Kings Park Festival ends on September 28

Stephen Shields, in another of his very helpful reviews and compendiums of what other people are saying on the internet, offers Some Thoughts on The Shack:
As of today, The Shack has been #1 on the New York Times Bestseller List for 36 straight weeks. At the time of this writing, The Shack was the #6 best-selling book of all categories on Amazon.com.
I cannot remember when I've finished a book and then promptly began it a second time the very next day, but that's exactly what I did with The Shack a couple of weeks ago. I finished my second reading of the book a few days ago.
I found the book to be quite powerful. Realizing that the book is controversial, I nevertheless am giving the book a qualified recommendation and am encouraging my friends to read it discerningly.
Some of the critiques that one reads of Young's work are theological. I do not believe it's invalid to criticize the theology behind a creative piece of fiction, but I do think it's unrealistic to expect comprehensive systematic theology from such a work. Some things are simply not addressed in a work of fiction that we would expect to be addressed in systematics. And so I'm hesitant to agree with those critiques that have foundation in a charge of incompleteness. Nevertheless, I did find theological shortcomings in the book and also appreciated other aspects of the work.
I did not agree with all of the comments in the book regarding authority and hierarchy. I got the impression from reading The Shack that all hierarchy is an unmitigated wrong. I, on the other hand, believe loving authority is not only legitimate on earth but that we also see it in the Godhead (in distinction from what Sarayu claims on p. 122).
I also was not sure what Young was getting at when he had Jesus say that He did not wish for folks to become Christians (p. 182). I have no problem with anyone saying that organized Christianity does not always equal true Christianity, but Jesus comments here seemed to be overstatement.
One critique of The Shack is that it promotes Ultimate Reconciliation (UR). When I read the book, I wondered about this myself. My feeling is that the book had the flavor of Ultimate Reconciliation. Moreoever, Young's story collaborator Wayne Jacobsen in his article Is THE SHACK Heresy? asserts earlier drafts of the the book did reflect William P. Young's leanings toward Ultimate Reconciliation at that time.
However, Jacobsen writes, "While some of that was in earlier versions because of the author's partiality at the time to some aspects of what people call UR, I made it clear at the outset that I didn't embrace UR as sound teaching and didn't want to be involved in a project that promoted it." However, Jacobsen also implies in his article that the collaborative process itself had an affect on Young's theological views including, it would seem, any predispositions Young had toward UR. And I believe Young when I heard him say emphatically in interviews that he believes in Hell.
Regarding the critique that the book does not accurately convey the Trinity, for myself I was not looking for it to definitively portray the Trinity. It's a work of creative fiction and clearly the author took some liberties. When I have taught theology I have told my students that the day that I explain the Trinity to them in such a way that they go, "Ok, now I get it! That makes perfect sense" that is the day that they can be assured that I have no idea what I'm talking about. We should not be shocked that our finite minds cannot completely comprehend the One Who is infinite. And I felt that there was a definite tension in Young's portrayal of the Trinity that was consistent with the mystery of "God in three persons." But do I think Young got it right? No, of course not. But I do feel that he gave an interesting portrait of God.
One aspect of the book I appreciated was the honest treatment of the most difficult theological question encapsulated in Mackenzie's terrible tragedy: Why would a loving, all-powerful being allow six-year-old Missy to be brutally murdered? I was satisfied that Young did not attempt to provide a definitive theodicy but that in the book the author gave some hints toward an answer that had to do with humanity's freedom to choose. I personally believe that a completely satisfying theodicy is not possible this side of the Jordan. I appreciated that Young did not wrap this theological problem up in a artificially contrived bow.
But perhaps the aspect of the book I appreciated the most was the portrayal of God's personal involvement with Mack. I do believe that God's omnipotence implies his ability to deal with each of his creatures with loving individuality. It was moving to see Young's portrayal of this.
And so I found the book helpfully provocative but I am sensitive to, and in some cases sympathetic with, those who might critique its theology in places. I am also open to being shown that I have missed theological deficiencies in the book that should be highlighted.
But all these concerns expressed, I cautiously recommend The Shack as one way to helpfully challenge our paradigm of God in a way that might lead to a fuller understanding of Him.

Scholarship Funds
James Andrews Scholarship Fund
The James Andrews Memorial Scholarship is funded annually by his daughter, Sally James McKenzie. James Andrews taught at Springfield High School, retired, and then resumed worked as a substitute teacher. In his substituting, he found that students who were not in the highest English classes were not exposed to the arts. Mr. Andrews was hired to teach Faulkner, Hemmingway, and Shakespeare. He often told his students, "Art and humor make life bearable." This scholarship is intended to help the average, blue-collar worker taking a class in the arts – whether as part of major or for personal fulfillment.
Glosecki Scholarship Fund
A lover of ceramics and regular student of UIS' Visual Arts program, Andy Glosecki was also an active member of the Springfield community in general.

The Andy Glosecki Scholarship has been established to cherish his memory and heart in the Visual Arts. Applicants for this scholarship must have completed or be currently enrolled in a ceramics class and have a minimum, overall GPA of 3.0.
Daniel J. Lesh Memorial Scholarship Fund
Daniel Lesh was a Springfield native and undergraduate in the Creative Arts program at Sangamon State University in 1983 before an untimely death claimed his life. His family established the Daniel J. Lesh Memorial Fund in honor and memory of his brief life. Applicants for this scholarship must be in the Creative Arts program, submit a piece of artwork and have financial need.

A chronic condition is a problem that lasts for a long time or one that will never go away, such as Parkinson's disease, AIDS, cancer, or Alzheimer's disease. With the growth of our aging population, many more people will be touched by chronic conditions. Many will need assistance with routine aspects of everyday life.
The responsibilities of caregiving, added to the routine pressures of maintaining a family and professional life, can naturally lead to stress. Stress, in turn, creates a ripple effect on the health and well-being of not only the caregiver, but everyone from family members to friends and co-workers.
Living with a chronic condition—and caring for a person with a chronic condition—can lead to physical and emotional stress. The symptoms of this stress may look similar in both the person dealing with the condition and the caregiver. The symptoms include:
For the person with the chronic condition, the level and type of stress may vary depending on the specific illness and its prognosis. Common causes of physical and emotional stress include:
For caregivers who offer a wide range of help, stressors also depend on the intensity of their involvement and their relationship to the person in need. These stressors often include:
Because it is common for caregivers to feel stressed and depressed, some doctors refer to caregivers as hidden patients.
Because of the levels and types of stress involved, the impact of chronic illness can extend far beyond the sufferers and their caregivers. Nearly always, it affects the household of the person with the chronic condition. And as those household members are affected, the people who love, care for, and work with them can experience effects as well.
