Since 1996 Scotty the Blue Bunny has performed his special brand of spandex-clad spectacle from Sydney, Australia to Helsinki, Finland. In Cirkuses and Spiegeltents, Scotty has sung, fiddled, twirled, performed magic and busted really big balloons with his butt. Basically, he's gotten a lot farther for a lot longer in a bunny suit than a person probably should. Productions of note include: The Bindlestiff Family Circus (US), La Clique (NY,Sydney, Brighton, Edinburgh), Teatro Zinzanni's Late Nite Cabaret (Seattle, WA), David Periera's Trip at the Wintergarten (Berlin, DE), and 14 years hosting the New York Burlesque Festival.

"I hired Scotty to be our dramaturgist for my own big show together with a whole band. Scotty did not only have to make sure the story came out clear, he also helped smoothing out all the transitions and characters. He had a very clear and fundamental vision of the whole show, and with his big knowledge in showbiz and communications skills he was able to bring all the different ideas, wishes and needs to a magical place within very limited times. Scotty did an amazing job – he brought the show to bloom! And he managed to communicate all this in a very humble and loving way. His work is very sensitive, highly professional beyond boundaries and truly revealing. I found in him a true partner in crime!" – Koko La Douce, The Koko La Douce Las Vegas Country Show

"I had created a routine that I wasn't 100% satisfied with so I hired Scotty to help me breathe new life into it. I have to say that it was one of the best decisions I made because he was incredibly generous with his knowledge, excellent at helping me find the fluidity in the routine that I was looking for, patient, and precise when going over feedback. His ability to listen, give constructive criticism, and be an incredibly supportive coach made the sessions something that I looked forward to and I'm grateful for the opportunity I had to work with him. Not only am I in love with how the routine developed during the workshops but throughout the process it gave me better insight on how to move forward the next time I am developing an act. I would whole heartily recommend him as a coach for any level performer." – Vixen Valentine, burlesque performer and producer.

"Scotty the Blue Bunny is one of the most perceptive people in the business I know. He has a capability of understanding emotions and energy and how they transport between the audience and the performer. With an impressive background as both performer and host, he most certainly has the ability to put things in perspective. He sees the small things, when you are not quite sure why something is not right in your performance. Personally, I trust his knowhow and his courage to be 110% honest. He loves the performing arts and takes it very seriously. He has a strong idea of the visual narrative and can with ease spot the strong sides of a performer. I recommend this private tutoring with delight to everyone who wants to take one step forward as a performer." -Bettie Blackheart, performer, visual artist and producer of Helsinki Burlesque-

Can someone give me insight into what is the best solution in terms of hosting a WordPress site. My situation is this. My company has a dedicated server which host our business' website. The nature of our business is that we live and breathe by our reported number of pages views and visitor sessions. We really don't care where our site is hosted as long as it provides us with the best solutions. So with that in mind my questions below are in regards to...is it better to host on our server, the hosting solution provided by WordPress or another remote server solution.
1) What hosting scenario will give us the quickest page loading times
2) What hosting scenario will allow us to best report our page views and visitor info
3) What hosting scenario will allow us to best manage/maintain our site
4) And MOST IMPORTANT, what's the best hosting scenario if we develop our own theme template which includes our business' nav bar structure. Regarding this, it is our intention to develop a theme that works seamlessly with our current business website. In otherwords we want the WordPress functionality but want it to integrate it as much as possible into our existing businesse's website's structure so that it looks like it's part of our existing site.
Thanks to any and all that reply. WordPress is a great thing!!!

Everton scored three late goals to beat Fulham 4-1 and sneak above Liverpool into the Premier League's top four.
Leon Osman opening the scoring with an excellent curler from the edge of the box as Everton dominated the first half.
Fulham improved after the break as Tim Howard saved well from Scott Parker before Alexandr Kacaniklic missed an open goal after the USA keeper spilled Steve Sidwell's shot.
Dimitar Berbatov brought Fulham level with a typically cocksure penalty after Kacaniklic made the most of Gareth Barry's challenge.
Everton edged ahead again though, with Seamus Coleman tapping in after fantastic interplay between Steven Pienaar and Romelu Lukaku.
And, despite the visitors attacking with confidence and creating several chances, it was Everton who sealed a 21st consecutive home victory against Fulham as Barry scrambled the ball home at a late corner. The scoreline was given a flattering sheen in stoppage time, when substitute Kevin Mirallas netted a fine individual strike.
Everton move fourth, although Liverpool can re-enter the top four if they claim a point at Tottenham on Sunday.
17' – GOAL (Everton 1-0 Fulham): Osman with a superb individual strike, showing great skill to fashion a curling shot with his left foot. Steven Pienaar with the assist.
24' – SAVE: Maarten Stekelenburg somehow claws the ball around the post after it strikes an unwitting Romelu Lukaku to fly to the bottom right.
31' – SAVE: Another good stop by Stekelenburg, this time from Seamus Coleman's fine shot.
47' – SAVE: Great keeping from Howard after Parker latches on to Phil Jagielka's error.
50' – MISS: Howler from Kacaniklic, who puts it over from six yards after Howard fails to hold a Sidwell scorcher.
60' – CHANCE: Berbatov heads into the side netting from a tight angle.
67' – GOAL (Everton 1-1 Fulham): Berbatov strokes home the penalty after Kacaniklic earns a penalty off Barry.
74' – GOAL (Everton 2-1 Fulham): Superb build-up from Everton as Pienaar steps over the ball before completing a one-two with Lukaku. The South African's cross lands nicely for Coleman to finish easily.
87' – GOAL (Everton 3-1 Fulham): Stekelenburg makes a great save at a corner, but the ball bounces off Lukaku and then Barry to put the game beyond Fulham.
90+2' – GOAL (Everton 4-1 Fulham): Fantastic strike by Mirallas, who cuts inside from the left, exploits space created by Lukaku's off-the-ball run, and drives a low shot inside the post.
Do Everton have what it takes to reach the Champions League? They play an exciting brand of football, know how to defend, have options – as showed when Mirallas came on for Gerard Deufoleu – and are able to grind out wins when they don't hit peak form. Ones to watch.
Fulham have never won away against Everton in the league (L22 D4). They drew four of their first five visits to Goodison Park but have lost the last 21 in a row.
Everton have won more home games against Fulham (13) than versus any other Premier League opponent.
Fulham have lost six of their last seven Premier League away games.
Seamus Coleman (Everton) – A bounding performance from the Irish wingback, who was a constant attacking threat from the right and capped his display with a goal.

Brief Summary
Where Lived: Western Africa (Chad)
When Lived: Sometime between 7 and 6 million years ago
Sahelanthropus tchadensis is one of the oldest known species on the human family tree. This species lived sometime between 7 and 6 million years ago in West-Central Africa (Chad). Walking upright may have helped this species survive in the diverse habitats—including forests and grasslands Though we only have cranial material from Sahelanthropus, studies so far indicates this early human had a combination of apelike and humanlike features. Their apelike features included a small brain (even slightly smaller than a chimpanzee's!) sloping face, very prominent brow ridges, and elongated skull. Their humanlike features included small canine teeth, a short middle part of the face, and a spinal cord opening beneath the skull instead of towards the back, like in nonbipedal primates (or apes).
How do we know Sahelanthropus walked upright?
Some of the oldest evidence for walking on two legs comes from Sahelanthropus. The large opening (foramen magnum) in the base of the cranium where the spinal cord connects with the brain is positioned further forward (the underside of the cranium) than in apes or any other primate except humans. This feature indicates that the head of Sahelanthropus was held on an upright body.
Physical Description
Because scientists have only recovered a single skull and some jaw and tooth fragments belonging to Sahelanthropus (no post-cranial fossils), we don't know yet exactly how big an individual of this species would have been. Given the size of TM 266-01-060-1 skull, scientists estimate that Sahelanthropus individuals would probably be similar in size to a chimpanzee.
Type Information
Key Fossils
Nickname: Toumai
Site: Toros-Menalla, Chad
Date of discovery: 2001
Discovered by: A team led by Michel Brunet
Age: Between 7 and 6 million years old
Species: Sahelanthropus tchadensis
One of the first human traits, the small canine teeth in this male skull distinguished it from other apes. Most male primates have long canine teeth that they use to threaten and harm other males. There may have been less competition among Sahelanthropus tchadensis males, or perhaps males expressed aggression in other ways. This skull, nearly complete though flattened by distortion, is also known by its nickname, 'Toumai,' which means 'hope of life' in the local Dazaga language of Chad.
Life History and Behavior
How They Survived
Unfortunately, most of Sahelanthropus' teeth are heavily worn, and there have not yet been studies of its tooth wear or tooth isotopes to indicate diet. However, we can infer based on its environment and other early human species that it ate a mainly plant-based diet. This probably included leaves, fruit, seeds, roots, nuts, and insects.
Evolution and Systematics
Evolutionary Tree Information
The first early humans, or hominins, diverged from apes sometime between 6 and 7 million years ago in Africa. Sahelanthropus tchadensis has two defining human anatomical traits; 1) small canine teeth, and 2) walking upright on two legs instead of on four legs.
Fossil History
History of Discovery
Year of Discovery: 2001
The first (and, so far, only) fossils of Sahelanthropus are nine cranial specimens from northern Chad. A research team of scientists led by French paleontologist Michael Brunet uncovered the fossils in 2001, including the type specimen TM 266-01-0606-1. Before 2001, early humans in Africa had only been found in the great rift valley in East Africa and sites in South Africa, so the discovery of Sahelanthropus fossils in West-Central Africa shows that the earliest humans were more widely distributed than previously thought.
Sahelanthropus tchadensis is an extinct hominine species that is dated to about 7 million years ago, possibly very close to the time of the chimpanzee–human divergence, and so it is unclear whether it can be regarded as a member of the Hominini tribe.[1] Few specimens are known, other than the partial skull nicknamed Toumaï ("hope of life").
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (November 2012)
Existing fossils include a relatively small cranium known as Toumaï ("hope of life" in the local Daza language of Chad in central Africa), five pieces of jaw, and some teeth, making up a head that has a mixture of derived and primitive features. The braincase, being only 320 cm³ to 380 cm³ in volume, is similar to that of extant chimpanzees and is notably less than the approximate human volume of 1350 cm³.[citation needed]
The teeth, brow ridges, and facial structure differ markedly from those found in Homo sapiens. Cranial features show a flatter face, u-shaped dental arcade, small canines, an anterior foramen magnum, and heavy brow ridges. No postcranial remains have been recovered. The fossil suffered a large amount of distortion during the time of fossilisation and discovery.[citation needed]
Because no postcranial remains (i.e., bones below the skull) have been discovered, it is not known definitively whether Sahelanthropus tchadensis was indeed bipedal, although claims for an anteriorly placed foramen magnum suggests that this may have been the case. Upon examination of the foramen magnum in the primary study, the lead author speculated that the utilisation of a bipedal gait "would not be unreasonable" based on basicranial morphology similar to more recent hominids.[2] Some palaeontologists [3] have disputed this interpretation, stating that the basicranium, as well as dentition and facial features, do not represent adaptations either unique to the hominid clade or indicative of bipedalism. Its canine wear is similar to other Miocene apes.[4] Moreover, according to recent information, the femur of a hominid might have been discovered alongside the cranium but never published.[5]
The fossils were discovered in the Djurab Desert of Chad by a team of four led by Michel Brunet; three Chadians, Adoum Mahamat, Djimdoumalbaye Ahounta and Gongdibé Fanoné, and Frenchman, Alain Beauvilain et al.[6][7] All known material of Sahelanthropus were found between July 2001 to March 2002 at three sites (TM 247, TM 266 (which yielded most of the material), and TM 292). The discoverers claimed that S. tchadensis is the oldest known human ancestor after the split of the human line from that of chimpanzees.[8]
The bones were found far from most previous hominin fossil finds, which are from Eastern and Southern Africa. However, an Australopithecus bahrelghazali mandible was found in Chad by Beauvilain A., Brunet M. and Moutaye A.H.E. as early as 1995.[8] With the sexual dimorphism known to have existed in early hominids, the difference between Ardipithecus and Sahelanthropus may not be large enough to warrant a separate species for the latter.[9]
Relationship to humans and chimpanzees[edit]
Sahelanthropus may represent a common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees; no consensus has been reached yet by the scientific community. The original placement of this species as a human ancestor but not a chimpanzee ancestor would complicate the picture of human phylogeny. In particular, if Toumaï is a direct human ancestor, then its facial features bring into doubt the status of Australopithecus because its thickened brow ridges were reported to be similar to those of some later fossil hominids (notably Homo erectus), whereas this morphology differs from that observed in all australopithecines, most fossil hominids and extant humans.
Another possibility is that Toumaï is related to both humans and chimpanzees, but is the ancestor of neither. Brigitte Senut and Martin Pickford, the discoverers of Orrorin tugenensis, suggested that the features of S. tchadensis are consistent with a female proto-gorilla. Even if this claim is upheld, then the find would lose none of its significance, for at present, precious few chimpanzee or gorilla ancestors have been found anywhere in Africa. Thus if S. tchadensis is an ancestral relative of the chimpanzees (or gorillas), then it represents the first known member of their lineage. Furthermore, S. tchadensis does indicate that the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees is unlikely to resemble chimpanzees very much, as had been previously supposed by some paleontologists.[10][11]
A further possibility, highlighted by research published in 2012, is that the human–chimpanzee split is earlier than previously thought, with a possible range of 7 to 13 million years ago (with the more recent end of this range being favoured by most researchers), based on slower than previously thought changes between generations in human DNA. Indeed, some researchers (such as Tim D. White, University of California) consider suggestions that Sahelanthropus is too early to be a human ancestor to have evaporated.[12]
Sediment isotope analysis of cosmogenic atoms in the fossil yielded an age of about 7 million years.[13] In this case, however, the fossils were found exposed in loose sand; co-discoverer Beauvilain cautions that such sediment can be easily moved by the wind, unlike packed earth.[14]
In fact, Toumaï was probably reburied in the recent past. Taphonomic analysis reveals the likelihood of one, perhaps two, burial(s). Two other hominid fossils (a left femur and a mandible) were in the same "grave" along with various mammal remains. The sediment surrounding the fossils might thus not be the material in which the bones were originally deposited, making it necessary to corroborate the fossil's age by some other means.[15] The fauna found at the site – namely the anthracotheriid Libycosaurus petrochii and the suid Nyanzachoerus syrticus – suggests an age of more than 6 million years, as these species were probably already extinct by that time.[16]

The Unknown
We don't know everything about our early ancestors—but we keep learning more! Paleoanthropologists are constantly in the field, excavating new areas with groundbreaking technology, and continually filling in some of the gaps about our understanding of human evolution. Below are some of the still unanswered questions about Sahelanthropus tchadensis that may be answered with future discoveries:
1. What did the body of Sahelanthropus tchadensis look like? So far paleoanthropologists have only uncovered cranial fossils of this species.
2. What was their primary form of locomotion?
3. What did they eat?
4. Why did Sahelanthropus tchadensis males have smaller canines? This is unlike male chimpanzees and most other primates who use their long canine teeth to threaten others, especially when competing for mates.
5. Were there size differences between Sahelanthropus tchadensis males and females?
6. Was Sahelanthropus tchadensis a common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees?

We thank you for your interest in the Vascular & Interventional Radiology fellowship program at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
Fellows are primarily at the University of Maryland Medical Center, home of the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, and also have the opportunity to perform cases at the adjacent Baltimore VA Medical Center. The fellowship is very busy, with fellows typically performing between 1100-1300 cases per year. The case mix is extremely diverse, covering all aspects of Interventional Radiology, but with a strong focus on Interventional Oncology, trauma, and hepatobiliary interventions including transplant interventions, TIPS, and complex portal interventions. Particular focus is given to training clinically-oriented Interventional Radiologists, as fellows are involved in the dedicated IR clinic as well as all extra-procedural steps in patient management; including admission and management of our own IR inpatient service.
The division is staffed by eight full-time faculty, four Nurse Practitioners, and one to two junior residents in addition to our fellows, and occasionally with rotating senior residents and medical students. The six interventional suites at the Medical Center include three Siemens Artis Zeego units, two Siemens Artis Zee biplane units, and a hybrid CT/fluoro room. The Department of Radiology also boasts similarly advanced and cutting-edge equipment, and is constantly involved in advancing the level of care for our patients through quality improvement and technological advancement, in support of the Division of Vascular & Interventional Radiology and in the Department as a whole.
There are many research opportunities available in the Division for fellows, including novel projects or participation in ongoing prospective single- and multicenter trials.
We offer three ACGME-approved fellowship positions, for which we participate in the VIR Fellowship Subspecialty Match administered by the NRMP. We do not accept candidates outside of the match for those positions. Pursuant to ACGME regulations, only applicants who will be graduating (or have graduated) from ACGME, RCPSC, or CFPC accredited residencies will be considered.

TOWN OF NEWBURGH — A man is dead after he was shot Monday evening by a fellow hunter in the woods, Newburgh police said.
Town of Newburgh police Chief Michael Clancy said two men were hunting deer with rifles at about 5 p.m. in the woods west of Forest Road, near Cronk Road, when one shot the other in the shoulder. Police and EMS responded and a state police helicopter was called to help in the search, but the man died of his wounds at the scene.
Clancy said one man was from Newburgh and the other from Plattekill, but further details were unavailable.
The hunter was questioned by police but no arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing.

on November 7, 2011 - 12:01 AM
Construction workers are all over the High Street area near downtown Buffalo, which is arguably the center of construction activity in Erie County.
Some crews are completing a new vascular center behind Buffalo General Hospital, which includes an emergency room scheduled to open Friday. Others are helping to build a nearby nursing home. There's even work being done on a grassy walkway that will lead to the area where a new Women & Children's Hospital and medical school complex is expected to be built.
In fact, there's so much going on in this five-block area between the Allentown and Fruit Belt neighborhoods that someone who didn't know any better would think they were in the center of a bustling metropolis.
Between what's recently been built, what is now being constructed and what is already on the drawing board, the total price tag is well over $1 billion.
"The amount of construction going on is even mind-boggling to me," said Matthew K. Enstice, president and executive director of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, "and it's only the beginning."
"We're at a maturing point," said James Kaskie, chief executive of Kaleida Health, one of the big players on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. "We now have critical mass. We got momentum. And we have the pieces coming together very well."
For the medical community, this is, obviously, a big deal.
>Gearing up for growth
At a minimum, the consolidation of medical, research and education facilities downtown is seen as a way to replace aging facilities, share resources in an era of tighter funding and make Buffalo a more attractive destination for medical students, specialists and scientists.
Beyond that, it's hoped all these efforts will expand the breadth and depth of services for certain specialties, such as neurosurgery and heart surgery, and also fill gaps in certain areas of care, such as liver transplantation.
And in the most optimistic view, it's hoped Buffalo's Medical Campus will become more of a destination for out-of-town patients and will attract enough successful start-up biotech companies to become an employment engine.
"What we have in mind, and what the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus has in mind, is to provide a destination for health care," said University at Buffalo President Satish K. Tripathi.
"It creates jobs," said Donald L. Trump, president and chief executive officer of Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
The plan, however, is not without skeptics, who argue the billion-dollar expansion could be a billion-dollar bust, doing little more than moving medical buildings from one part of the city to another without expanding services or attracting much outside investment.
"It's kind of a question of your expectations," said Joseph Cortright, a Portland, Ore.-based economist who specializes in regional economic analysis.
If the region is developing the Medical Campus to meet the needs of the community and a growing health care industry, that's one thing, he said.
But if the region expects it to be a springboard for lots of biotech jobs that wouldn't otherwise be in Buffalo, then that's something else.
"That's a much harder thing to do," Cortright said. "That part of it, I'm very skeptical of."
>Critics raise questions
Others wonder what will happen to their part of the city when existing institutions -- such as Millard Fillmore Hospital, Women & Children's Hospital or the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences -- eventually make the move to the Medical Campus.
And then there are those who wonder where all the thousands of additional workers and patients coming into the medical corridor will park their cars every day.
Finding a place to park is already a hassle.
"It's awful," said Sarah Pannullo, who works on the Medical Campus.
Planners are aware of the concern.
"We have two things we need to strengthen on this campus," Enstice said. "One is transportation. Two is energy. We're more than doubling the size of the infrastructure needs of this campus."
But, in the end, there is growing consensus that something has to be done to address Buffalo's fragmented system of medical care.
Because for years, hospitals here have competed for limited patients, funds and staff, preventing any one of them from offering care at levels comparable to the best in the country and making it more difficult to recruit new doctors.
>Progress ramps up
It all started, Medical Campus planners said, a decade or so ago, when then-Mayor Anthony M. Masiello asked a question: "Why don't we have a Medical Campus in Buffalo?"
The region already had a jump on it with more than $241 million in renovations to Roswell Park in 1998.
The planners and medical community started talking, and by the end of 2002 they had a master plan with suggestions on how to get things done.
And in a twist that is a bit out of character for a community that spent a decade discussing an international bridge that was never built, and several years luring a national outdoor recreation store that never came, the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus began taking shape.
A new Hauptman-Woodward building went up in 2005.
The following year came the University at Buffalo's center for bioinformatics.
So did Roswell Park's genetics and pharmacology building.
A portion of the old Trico building was renovated as research and development space last year and is fully occupied.
Next year, the 10-story vascular center is scheduled to open.
Then, a new parking ramp.
Then, a new nursing home.
And there's more to come.
UB announced it will relocate its medical school from the South Campus to the Medical Campus by 2016.
That move has fast-tracked plans for a new Women & Children's Hospital, probably at Main and High streets.
The medical school and pediatric hospital are what Tripathi calls a "tipping point" for the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
"What's missing there is really the medical education and also the synergy that exists between Women & Children's and the general hospital," Tripathi said. "It's already a great place, and a lot has happened, but this really is a big chunk coming together and filling the holes that there might be."
Upward of $1 billion in public and private funding has already gone into the campus, representing 2 million square feet of new construction. Another half-billion of investment and 1 million square feet are already planned.
When it all started, 7,000 people were working on the campus.
Today, there are 8,500, and within a few years, that number is expected to jump to 12,000.
"I think 10 years down the road," Kaskie said, "it will be a major engine for Western New York."
>Biotech called 'risky'
Health care is certainly a growing industry, but capitalizing on the biotech business will be trickier, particularly since so many other regions are in the game.
The reality is the biotech industry is still concentrated in just a few areas around the United States, Cortright said.
And there's no indication those patterns are changing, he said, which makes it difficult for places like Buffalo.
"It's a very risky business, and there's a lot of turnover," said Cortright, who studied biotech clusters for the Brookings Institution, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank. "Those two factors lead people and companies and investors to converge on places like Boston, San Francisco and San Diego."
Still, it all makes for a lot of activity in the area bounded by Main Street, North Street, Goodell Street and Michigan Avenue, where scores of men, and a few women, in yellow hard-hats could be seen working on a recent day.
In a community with high unemployment, the projects are putting a lot of people to work.
"Oh, my God, it's got to be easily over 1,000 people," said Paul Brown, president of the Buffalo Building and Construction Trades Council. "Not all at one time, but at least that many. It's been great for the construction jobs."
And all that work is creating cautious optimism and hope.
More jobs. Better health care. Positioning Buffalo to excel in specific fields of medicine.
"We used to talk about this area as a steel industry," Enstice said. "Now, we want to talk about it as an industry built around innovation."

A herd of animals, including 10 Asian elephants, 14 horses and 3 ponies are going to be strolling through the Fashion District tomorrow morning at around 4:45 a.m. When they get to the corner of Maple Avenue and 18th street, they're going to take a bath courtesy of the LA fire department, then head to the Staples Center.
This isn't India, what are elephants doing walking around town?
The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey thought a sunrise animal walk would be a superb introduction to their 2007 Southland production, "Bellobration." The modern take on circus tradition has the usual favorites: majestic white tigers, high swinging acrobats and charming elephants, but promises to captivate children of all ages with non-stop action and an interactive plot line.
If I didn't have to be in bed at 4:30 tomorrow morning, the Staples Center is where I would be, for sure!
"Bellobration" will be at the Staples Center from July 18-22. Tickets are $15-$90. www.ringling.com.

Derrick Rose Makes Bold Claim
Point guard Derrick Rose caused some eyebrows to shoot off their foreheads in an interview Wednesday after he claimed that members of the public were calling the New York Knicks a superteam.
Point guard Derrick Rose caused some eyebrows to shoot off their foreheads in an interview Wednesday after he claimed that members of the public were calling the New York Knicks a superteam.
The Cavs are still out there partying, but the rest of the NBA has already moved on. According to multiple reports, the Chicago Bulls are trading Derrick Rose to the New York Knicks for a haul of players. The former MVP and Chicago native has one year and $21 million left on his contract.
Derrick Rose has been playing this season with double vision produced by a broken left orbital bone in his face. I am no medical expert, but this sounds like an active hindrance to the practice of playing NBA basketball, and Rose's career-low stats back this up.
Derrick Rose's son is one of the world's more expressive sports babies, as evidenced here and in the photo above. This is apparently is not lost on Derrick Rose, who wore a very cool T-shirt in the locker room yesterday:
So says the Bulls' official website. There is no timetable for his return.
The lawsuit filed against Derrick Rose, accusing him of drugging and gang raping an ex-girlfriend, provides more details about what the woman says happened that night in Los Angeles. The complaint actually names 13 defendants—Rose and his friends Randall Hampton and Ryan Allen, and 10 unnamed "John Does"—and lists…
TMZ is reporting tonight that Derrick Rose has been sued by a woman who says Rose and two of his friends "drugged and gang raped her." The woman is asking for unspecified damages. Here is how the lawsuit describes what happened, per TMZ:
Watching LeBron James suplex the Bulls last night felt like bumping into an old friend. He does this at least once every postseason, but the first big LeBron Game of the summer is always a pleasant reminder of just what the greatest player in the world is really capable of. Hey guys, LeBron is here, and he's gonna win…
I mean, it's almost enough to start buying that this won't end in the same old Bulls calamity. Derrick Rose banked in a three at the buzzer, and the Bulls are up 2-1 against the Cavs.
Tom Thibodeau is one of the best coaches in the NBA. This much is unarguable. He spent a decade as an assistant running some of the league's best defenses, and his strong side overload scheme has been aped and stolen by every other team. And throughout the numerous injuries to Derrick Rose and other top players, the…
Look, man, nobody here wants to jinx Derrick Rose, but we're three playoff games into his return from his latest knee injury, and he looks [lowers voice to a cautious whisper] pretty damn good.
Derrick Rose's ex-girlfriend Mieka Reese—who he dated for a number of years and gave birth to their son Derrick Jr. in 2012—posted the following on Instagram, along with the simple caption "W E D N E S D A Y":
Remember that incredibly sad Derrick Rose shrine we told you about yesterday? Well, the only thing sadder than a shrine to a still living basketball player under an underpass is a vandalized shrine to a still living basketball player under an underpass. David Beltran and Brendan Carroll—the two artists who created…
It's a common human response to erect shrines and murals in public spaces commemorating fallen heroes. One Chicago artist felt particularly moved by Derrick Rose's umpteenth injury to create one in his memory, replete with the point guard's visage wearing a crown of thorns, crutches and knee pads laid about to signify…
Oooh, that is a slick little move, there. The ball-fake to freeze Timofey Mozgov, the little half-Eurostep toward the middle of the lane, the midair adjustment as Mozgov recovers to contest. And then, what in the damn hell. Did the Earth shift 18 inches off its normal orbital path while Rose was in midair?
Send stories, photos, and anything else you might have to email@example.com.
Derrick Rose appears to be out for the game after hurting his leg late in tonight's matchup in Toronto against the Raptors. I know, that seems impossible to believe. But it's true! Here's the evidence so you can see it for yourself.
When Derrick Rose was at his MVP-best, he used his speed and quickness to ruthlessly attack backpedaling opponents. Just watch people try and fail to stay in front of him in this video from 2011. Even if they knew what he was going to do, few were able to stop it.

In order to make sure you're prepared for Thanksgiving, I wanted to share with you this forecast* for the holiday weekend:
Turkeys will thaw in the morning, then warm in the oven to an afternoon high near 190ËšF. The kitchen will turn hot and humid, and if you bother the cook, be ready for a severe squall or cold shoulder.
During the late afternoon and evening, the cold front of a knife will slice through the turkey, causing an accumulation of one to two inches on plates. Mashed potatoes will drift across one side while cranberry sauce creates slippery spots on the other. Please pass the gravy.
A weight watch and indigestion warning have been issued for the entire area, with increased stuffiness around the beltway. During the evening, the turkey will diminish and taper off to leftovers, dropping to a low of 34ËšF in the refrigerator.
Looking ahead to Friday and Saturday, high pressure to eat sandwiches will be established. Flurries of leftovers can be expected both days with a 50 percent chance of scattered soup late in the day. We expect a warming trend where soup develops. By early next week, eating pressure will be low as the only wish left will be the bone.

President Obama will meet Wednesday with state insurance commissioners — a group that has been critical of the administration's proposal to let insurers offer limited plans that do not meet ObamaCare's requirements.
When they meet with Obama, members of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) will likely express their discontent with the administration over the executive action, which was proposed to quell the bipartisan outcry that the healthcare law doesn't comply with the president's promise that you can keep your plan if you like it.
The NAIC and other insurance groups, like America's Health Insurance Plans, and the The American Academy of Actuaries, have argued the proposal isn't logistically feasible and would be an administrative nightmare.
Jim Donelon, president of the NAIC, said in an interview last week that the action "threatens the solvency of the system and it threatens to spike the cost to policyholders across the board."
The trade groups contend that premium prices have been set based on assumptions about what plans would be available, and that any last-minute change could cause chaos in the marketplace.

Opened left ventricle of heart shows a thickened, dilated left ventricle with subendocardial fibrosis manifested as increased whiteness of endocardium.
|Classification and external resources
|Patient UK
Cardiomyopathy (literally "heart muscle disease") is the measurable deterioration for any reason of the ability of the myocardium (the heart muscle) to contract, usually leading to heart failure. Common symptoms include dyspnea (shortness of breath) and peripheral edema (swelling of the legs). Those with cardiomyopathy are often at risk of dangerous forms of irregular heart rate and sudden cardiac death.[1] The most common form of cardiomyopathy is dilated cardiomyopathy.[2][3] Although the term "cardiomyopathy" could theoretically apply to almost any disease affecting the heart, it is usually reserved for "severe myocardial disease leading to heart failure." Cardiomyopathy and myocarditis resulted in 443,000 deaths in 2013, up from 294,000 in 1990.[4]
Cardiomyopathies are either confined to the heart or are part of a generalized systemic disorder, both often leading to cardiovascular death or progressive heart failure-related disability. Other diseases that cause heart muscle dysfunction are excluded, such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, or abnormalities of the heart valves.[5]
Earlier, simpler, categories such as intrinsic, (defined as weakness of the heart muscle without an identifiable external cause), and extrinsic, (where the primary pathology arose outside the myocardium itself), became more difficult to sustain.[medical citation needed] For example, as more external causes were recognized, the intrinsic category became smaller. Alcoholism, for example, has been identified as a cause of dilated cardiomyopathy, as has drug toxicity, and certain infections (including Hepatitis C). On the other hand, molecular biology and genetics have given rise to the recognition of various genetic causes, increasing the intrinsic category. For example, mutations in the cardiac desmosomal genes as well as in the DES gene may cause arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC).[6][7]
At the same time, a more clinical categorization of cardiomyopathy as 'hypertrophied', 'dilated', or 'restrictive',[8] became difficult to maintain when it became apparent that some of the conditions could fulfill more than one of those three categories at any particular stage of their development. The current American Heart Association definition divides cardiomyopathies into primary, which affect the heart alone, and secondary, which are the result of illness affecting other parts of the body. These categories are further broken down into subgroups which incorporate new genetic and molecular biology knowledge.[9]
Cardiomyopathies can be classified using different criteria:[10]
- Primary/intrinsic cardiomyopathies[11]
- Genetic
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC)
- LV non-compaction
- Ion Channelopathies
- Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)
- Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM)
- Acquired
- Stress Cardiomyopathy
- Myocarditis
- Ischemic cardiomyopathy
- Genetic
- Secondary/extrinsic cardiomyopathies[11]
- Metabolic/storage
- Fabry's disease
- hemochromatosis
- Endomyocardial
- Endocrine
- Cardiofacial
- Neuromuscular
- Other
- Obesity-associated cardiomyopathy[12]
- Metabolic/storage
In terms of the signs/symptoms of cardiomyopathies are: fatigue, swelling of the lower extremities and after any type of exercise an acute shortness of breath (in contrast to normal breathing).[13]
Symptoms may include shortness of breath after physical exertion, fatigue, and swelling of the feet, legs, or abdomen. Additionally, arrhythmias and chest pain may be present.[13]
The pathophysiology of cardiomyopathies is better understood at the cellular level with advances in molecular techniques. Mutant proteins can disturb cardiac function in the contractile apparatus (or mechanosensitive complexes). Cardiomyocyte alterations and their persistent responses at the cellular level cause changes that are correlated with sudden cardiac death and other cardiac problems.[14]
Among the diagnostic procedures done to determine a cardiomyopathy are:[13]
- Physical exam
- Family history
- Blood test
- Echocardiogram
- Stress test
- Genetic testing
Treatment may include suggestion of lifestyle changes to better manage the condition. Treatment depends on the type of cardiomyopathy and condition of disease, but may include medication (conservative treatment) or iatrogenic/implanted pacemakers for slow heart rates, defibrillators for those prone to fatal heart rhythms, ventricular assist devices (VADs) for severe heart failure, or ablation for recurring dysrhythmias that cannot be eliminated by medication or mechanical cardioversion. The goal of treatment is often symptom relief, and some patients may eventually require a heart transplant.[13]

Calzaghe: I Bet Money on Rees, He Will Stop Broner
By Edward Chaynkovsky
Trainer Enzo Calzaghe has told HattonBoxing that he put down a lot of money with the bookies on tonight's main event at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. He forked up the dollars on several wagers for Gavin Rees to defeat WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner and he predicts Rees will shock the world with a knockout victory.
Clazaghe remembers back when his son, Joe Cazlaghe, was matched against Jeff Lacy in 2006. Joe a massive underdog, even in his own country, and he sealed his legacy with a one-sided domination of Lacy for a twelve round decision in their super middleweight unification.
"I've bet on Gavin to win in different rounds and I got huge odds," Enzo revealed. "They're talking like this Broner is the new messiah in boxing but I think he's in for a shock. Gavin can box. He's been schooled properly and he can go forwards, backwards and to corners. He's very hard to catch and he's deceptive. His jab is amazing but because he's such a little guy, people don't realise how long his jab is.
"With it in America the other guy is going to be two rounds up without even throwing a punch, but I can't see him beating Gavin if he can't stop him. Gavin is a very dangerous being because he throws punches in bunches and he can cause an upset. I think he's going to stop Broner because I can't see him winning on points, even if he does he won't get it over there."
[QUOTE=mathed;13043349]Joe could come out of retirement, coked up and still beat both those guys. I think Joe retired because he was almost 40 years old....:thinkerg:[/QUOTE] ward and dawson would both beat calzaghe on his best day, let alone coming out…Comment by Mr. Philadel on 02-17-2013

Does this mean that Joe will now have a smaller allowance for his cocaine habit? :ugh:Comment by chocolate on 02-17-2013
[QUOTE=Hitman932;13043338]That doesn't change the facts of what I said. Also, if he bet on individual rounds winning one means all the other bets are lost so in the end he wouldn't make out with a 100/1 payday because of the…Comment by rzagza on 02-17-2013

Five wins over ranked teams and a one-point loss to Yates has boosted the top team in Pennsylvania to No. 3 nationally.

A five-guard attack has proven quite effective and has put Mater Dei in the pole position in a hotly contested California.
5 St. Benedict's Prep Newark NJ 20-1 6

6 Ames Senior Ames IA 27-0 10

10 Christ School Arden NC 37-1 14

Memphis depth really shines here as White Station has shown really well in national games and is set for a state finals game.

Louisiana Class 4A State Champs: Peabody was unbeaten, but without a signature win it is hard to get it into the Top 25.

31 Bishop Miege Shawnee Mission KS 25-0 57

Dell has stopped selling its last Android devices as it washes its hand of pure tablets and focuses more on Windows 2-in-1 devices.
Lenovo's new Phab2 Pro, developed with Google, brings augmented reality to smartphone screens without the need for a headset.
Google continues to hone Android's security capabilities, with features in the Android N upgrade due this fall prefaced by the Android for Work security apparatus and other security updates in last year's Android Marshmallow release.
Many alternative mobile operating systems like Firefox have fallen by the wayside while Android and iOS continue to dominate, but Samsung's Tizen has survived.
Changing the voice used for navigation on an Android phone from robotic to something more natural is easy, but buried in the menus.
WARNING: Overclocking is not for the faint of heart. Do not attempt to hack your phone unless you understand and accept the risks of turning it into a useless "brick."
Google's Android operating system is riding a wave of popularity that has rapidly eclipsed Apple's iOS, and by the end of 2010 it's expected to overtake RIM's BlackBerry as the world's leading smartphone platform. However, despite the relative openness and flexibility of the OS, your Android phone still isn't as powerful and customizable as it could be. To unlock all of your phone's potential, you'll need to root it.
Smartphones are meant to make our lives easier--or at least more connected to people we want to communicate with--so why does typing on them sometimes seem on a par with performing root canal surgery?
Are you using your smartphone to its fullest? Probably not--smartphone owners typically push their devices up to only about half their potential. Here are 14 smartphone apps to help your Android handset, BlackBerry, or iPhone become all that it can be.
Android apps will run unaltered, but developers may also choose to optimize their wares to, for example, offer multiple window sizes.
Samsung comes under intense criticism for Galaxy Note 5 design flaw. If you insert the S-Pen upside-down, it gets stuck. Removing it damages the motherboard -- probably beyond repair...
Google has confirmed the name of Android M -- Marshmallow. The new version will first make it to the expected new Nexus devices due for release later this year. Soon after, it'll be available for OTA upgrades for older pure-Android shinies. But after that, who knows?
When you stop and think about it, the word "smartphone" is starting to sound a little stale.
This week the G4 smartphone from LG Electronics starts shipping outside its home country, with arrivals in the U.S. and Europe expected in a couple of weeks. While the smartphone has a great screen and camera, it doesn't get everything right.

Some of my posts get quite a few comments, so I added a show/hide link next to my Facebook like counter at the bottom of my posts. But I've discovered that when a comment permalink is used:
1. it simply takes you to the bottom of the post, where the comment show/hide link is.
2. the Facebook counter shows zero, no matter how many likes are 'really' there.
For example, my latest post has over 70 likes:
but compare e.g. this comment permalink
The thing I'd most like to fix is the FB counter showing zero: any suggestions please?
Also, do I really need to publish permalinks to comments at all? I discovered that someone has put the above comment permalink on their website, but the context suggests that they really just wanted to link to the post itself.

Happy Thanksgiving Disney Style LbNA # 44788 (ARCHIVED)

I decided to plant this box on Thanksgiving, seeing as my family was visiting Walt Disney World for Thanksgiving. We stayed at the beautiful Westgate Resorts, located just off 192 in Kissimmee FL. You may want to do this early morning or late evening to avoid the numerous people that you will find around.
Enter Westgate Resorts take notice that you must be a owner or staying at the resort in order to enter, but Im sure that if you told the gate keeper that you were here to check in, that they would let you in. Once in you need to locate Jurassic Golf. Enter and make your way to the Swan Lake Activity Center Building. Once you reach this sign follow the sidewalk to the left (as you look at the sign). Once you reach the end of the deck take a stroll along the edge of the deck to the waters edge. On your way down you will count 4 triangles to the edge. But you need to only go 3. At the 3rd have a seat on the ground facing Swan Lake and reach up and back to find the Thanksgiving Treat.
