Incredible Story: Nate Winters is Pitching Again
High School
: : General
Jim Ecker
Friday, April 02, 2010
Nate Winters loves baseball and dreamed about playing in the major leagues. He played for successful travel teams when he was younger, the type of teams that routinely produce Division I players and top prospects, and he was coached by former big leaguers along the way. His father owns a minor league team in Florida, so he grew up in a baseball environment, soaking it all in. His future looked bright, a baseball career on the rise.
Then came Aug. 5, 2008, the day Nate lost his left leg in a terrible boating accident and nearly died. But in a remarkable story of spirit and determination, he's pitching for his high school team again.
"Pretty amazing," said Bob King, his coach at Winter Park High School in Florida. "To me, it's miraculous."
Nate was 15, enjoying his summer vacation when the accident occurred. He was boating with his older brother, Zach, and three others on a hot afternoon near their home in Winter Park. Zach, who was driving, saw grass ahead in the lake, so he steered the motor boat sharply to the left, going about 25 to 30 mph. It wasn't a reckless move, but Nate got tossed into the lake and went under the water.
The power boat went over him. He got hit by the propeller, nearly cutting off his leg. It later had to be amputated at mid-thigh.
"My whole body was numb," Nate told Perfect Game. "I looked down and my leg was all cut up."
Somehow, he kept his senses.
"Nate saw a bunch of blood in the water," said his father, Dr. Tom Winters. "He was afraid an alligator was going to come get him, so he started swimming himself back to the boat, and that's what saved his life."
Zach jumped into the water and helped pull him out. The people on the boat quickly applied a tourniquet to Nate's leg and called 911. Nate doesn't remember too many details.
"I kind of blacked out," he said. "I was in some pain, but I think I went into shock."
An emergency helicopter arrived at the scene within minutes and landed on a nearby soccer field. Nate was rushed to a trauma center, where an expert medical team went to work. They couldn't save the leg, however. It was too far gone.
"It was hanging on by strands," his father said.
The leg was gone, but Nate was lucky to be alive.
"Statistically, the odds of getting out of the water alive are about 1 in 100," said Tom Winters, a medical doctor. "And when your hemoglobin goes down to where Nate's did, your chance of surviving is about 1 in 10,000."
Nate lost 80 percent of his blood, which is normally fatal.
"He's a real strong kid," Tom Winters said.
Dr. Winters rushed to the scene of the accident, not knowing what to expect. He's witnessed a lot during his medical career, but this was his son. It was obviously a grave situation.
"I said, 'Nate, are you OK?' And he kind of grabbed my hand and said, 'Dad, I lost my leg,'" Dr. Winters related. "And then he said, 'Am I going to live?' I said, 'Nate, if God got you this far, you're going to live.'"
Emergency medical workers at the scene put "trauma trousers" on Nate, in order to apply pressure and stem the bleeding, but Nate didn't know what was going. In fact, he feared the worst.
"Nate thought they were putting him in a body bag," Dr. Winters remarked. "Nate said, 'Don't put that on me. I'm not dead yet.'"
Nate also lost a toe on his right foot in the accident, and the Achilles' tendon on his right leg was severely cut in several places. Family and friends gathered at the hospital, more than 100 strong, frightened, praying, distraught. It was a long, tough night, but Nate fought through it. He woke up the next morning.
"The first thing Nate did when they took the tube out (of his mouth and throat) at about 7 o'clock the next morning, he turned to Zach – my oldest son – and said, 'Hey, thanks for saving my life,'" Dr. Winters said. "So Nate kind of made him feel good."
The accident happened 20 months ago. Incredibly, Nate has bounced back, with a prosthetic left leg, great spirit and tremendous determination.
Remarkably, he pitched two scoreless innings for the Winter Park High School junior varsity team last week. His fastball was probably in the high 70s and might have touched 80. And having passed that test, his next assignment could be for the varsity.
He's back.
"I have to admit, I had my doubts," said Coach King.
Nate, now 17 and a junior, is playing again. And having fun. Even Nate is surprised.
"I was always doubting myself, if I was ever going to play again or not," he said. "It felt pretty good."
The junior varsity game was played at Dr. Phillips High School and drew a big crowd, unusually big for a jayvee game. They were there to see Nate, to cheer for Nate.
"When Nate got out there to pitch, the other team gave him a standing ovation," Tom Winters said. "And after he finished, their team's fans gave him a standing ovation again. There were a lot of goose-bumps going around the ballpark that day."
It was a long, hard road back.
Nate spent 10 to 12 days in the hospital after the accident, then his injured Achilles' tendon got infected. He had to go back for more surgeries and more treatments. He ended up having nine operations and spent several months in a wheelchair, but he gradually got stronger.
Tiger Woods, who lives nearby in Florida and heard about the accident, sent Nate an autographed picture and a card. It said, "Nate, be tough always."
Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun, who played for Tom Winters' minor league team – the Brevard Manatees – sent Nate a baseball and bat. The Boston Red Sox sent a Jonathan Papelbon jersey. Jason Varitek's parents showed up. So did Zack Greinke's father. "The major leaguers have been great," Tom Winters said.
This past fall – about 14 months after the accident – Nate played catch with a friend and tried some bullpen sessions. That's when he began thinking about a comeback. He decided to go out for the team, but it was rough. He lost his balance and fell off the mound a few times until he got accustomed to landing on his prosthetic left leg.
"He got pretty disenchanted and a little embarrassed," his father said. "He called me about 6 or 7 weeks ago and said, 'Dad, I can't do it.'"
As it turned out, he could.
"I love playing baseball," Nate said. "I kept going."
The prosthetic device allows some flexibility, and they're making adjustments on the fly. "There are some things that are not perfect with it, but it's pretty good," he said.
Nate's life has changed in many ways the last 20 months. He's developed into a talented musician and performs in a band, playing the piano and guitar. His grades have improved, he was elected junior class president, and he's playing ball again.
The next step will be pitching in a varsity game this year. It will happen, because Nate deserves it. He's earned it.
"Oh, yeah. He's going to get in a game. It's just a matter of when," said King. "And seeing what he's done, I think next year he'll be a very important part of the team."
It's amazing. And the story isn't done yet.
"Who knows?," Tom Winters said. "If he goes to the right college, maybe he'll be a relief pitcher for somebody."

I like the Photos hack, but there are no slideshow features with it and the images don't link to their source (in case a user wants to download/print them). Also, movie and sound clips are not incorporated into it. (Hence the title "Photos hack" I presume.)
Not only can I not find this type of thing included in any CMSes, but I can't even find it as a standalone. What a shocker for me, trying to develop a website with photos, movies, and sounds. Is there any talk about developing a multimedia gallery hack for WP?

Hi folks,
Well I well and truely killed off my testbed website (running on WAMP) yesterday, so thinks I, "I'll uninstall everything (WP & Wamp), reinstall everything (WP, Wamp, Theme), and upload a copy of my live site".
As the title suggests, having gone through the motions of uninstalling Wamp, deleting the remaining files, downloading the 'Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package', installing Wamp (Wampserver (64 bits & PHP 5.3) 2.2E), unzipping the WP files to .../wamp/www/wordpress, then trying to log into phpmyadmin via the Wamp panel in localhost all I get is "403 - You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server."
Having looked at the Wamp forum someone else is having the same problem but there are no replies to the initial posting.
Anyone got any ideas??
Thanks in advance!

A New Benzofuran Glucoside from Ficus Tikoua Bur
AbstractFrom the water-soluble portion of the methanol extract of stems of Ficus tikoua Bur., a new benzofuran glucoside, named 6-carboxyethyl-5-hydroxybenzofuran 5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), together with one known benzofuran glucoside (2) were isolated. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D (1H-1H COSY, HMQC, and HMBC) NMR spectroscopy and HRMS techniques. The antioxidant activities of the isolated compounds were assayed based on the scavenging activities of DPPH free radical. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited moderate antioxidant activities, and the IC50 values were 242.8 μg·mL−1 and 324.9 μg·mL−1, respectively.

Of course not! (The laptop IS defective as a whole)!
I spoke with 3 case managers and the first 2 agreed to the exchange. The last one Susan, didn;t go for it. The 2nd case manager SHOULD HAVE given me a 75 case # but gave me 73 case # instead which was needed for the exchange...now...WHO'S FAULT WAS THAT?

Hey: This is probably an easy questions for the coders, but for me is very difficult.
I am trying to use the filter postie to strip out unwanted parts of the subject from the email. So, for example, Let's say the subject of the email is always the same (from a list) and the subject is "Same Thing Here Needs Stripped This Is The Actual Subject"
So, how would I remove "Same Thing Here Needs Stripped"?
This is what I have in filter_postie, but it doesn't seem to work....
function filter_title($post) {
//this function strips "(Same Thing Here Needs Stripped)" from the title (subject)

Walter Matthau, 79, Rumpled Star and Comic Icon, Dies
By MEL GUSSOW
Published: July 2, 2000
Walter Matthau, whose performances as cantankerous but endearing characters made him a distinctive leading man in movies, theater and television, died yesterday in Santa Monica, Calif. He was 79.
The cause was a heart attack, said Lindi Funston, a spokeswoman for St. John's Health Center, where he died.
Mr. Matthau's breakthrough role was as Oscar Madison, the slovenly sportswriter in Neil Simon's 1965 Broadway comedy and 1968 film ''The Odd Couple.'' But that was only one of an extraordinarily diverse galaxy of characters. In his long career he played lawyers, editors, detectives, spies and sheriffs, and each one of them looked and acted like Walter Matthau.
In 1994, he played a comic version of Albert Einstein in the movie ''I.Q.,'' and Einstein began to resemble the shaggy, shambling actor. Although Mr. Matthau was an experienced stage actor, in common with great film stars of the past like Spencer Tracy and Humphrey Bogart, he created character through the magnetism of his own personality.
Mr. Simon credited Mr. Matthau's rumpled persona and ironic wit as being the inspiration for Oscar, the nemesis of his fussy apartment-mate and fellow dropout from marriage, Felix Unger (Art Carney on stage, Jack Lemmon in the film). In his memoirs, the playwright said the actor at first wanted to play Felix, in retrospect a mind-boggling idea, but one that Mr. Matthau undoubtedly could have accomplished. He was, Mr. Simon said, ''the greatest instinctive actor I've ever seen.''
Mr. Matthau was a tall man with a perpetual slouch and a perpetual frown. No matter how elegant his character was supposed to be, in common with Oscar he usually looked as if he had been sleeping in his clothes. But through a kind of reverse chic Mr. Matthau could make himself seem stylish. Without airs or affectations, he became a widely respected international star.
Though he often played dramatic roles, comedy was his principal metier. With his hangdog face and growling voice, he added humor to his line readings. Dialogue that would not be so funny in print became hilarious when delivered by Mr. Matthau. With perfect timing, he was an expert at the slow burn, the double take, the explosion into exasperation. ''Walter doesn't need funny lines,'' George Burns, who starred with him in the movie of Mr. Simon's play ''The Sunshine Boys,'' once said. ''He's fearless -- no inhibitions. If you want him to play soprano, or be a toe dancer, he'd do it.''
A Comedy Duo Through the Years
It was with Jack Lemmon that he became half of one of America's favorite, if floating, comedy teams. In addition to ''The Odd Couple,'' they were in three Billy Wilder comedies, ''The Fortune Cookie,'' ''The Front Page'' and ''Buddy Buddy.'' The two aged together before the camera until they were playing the twinned title roles in ''Grumpy Old Men.'' In the sequel, they became ''Grumpier Old Men,'' and probably would have been on their way to ''Grumpiest.''
In a statement yesterday from Los Angeles, Mr. Lemmon said: ''I have lost someone I loved as a brother, as a closest friend and a remarkable human being. We have also lost one of the best damn actors we'll ever see.''
Last year in the book ''Conversations With Wilder,'' Mr. Wilder said that Mr. Matthau was ''one of the handful of great actors.''
Mr. Matthau worked his way up from poverty on the Lower East Side of Manhattan to varied roles in stock, more than 20 Broadway plays (mostly flops) and scores of live television shows. He became, successively, an adept movie villain and comedian and later, improbably, a romantic leading man.
He was tireless in improvising fresh comic business to sharpen and enhance plays and films, and in spinning perceptive observations from commonplace events. With sly self-mockery, he described his Hollywood image as a ''Ukrainian Cary Grant.''
Film portraits shaped by Mr. Matthau included a tricky lawyer in ''The Fortune Cookie'' (a performance that earned him a 1966 Academy Award as best supporting actor), an inept rake in ''A Guide for the Married Man'' (1967), sly philanderers in ''The Secret Life of an American Wife'' (1968) and ''Cactus Flower'' (1969), and three tour de force roles in Mr. Simon's ''Plaza Suite'' (1971), as a callous husband, a vulgar filmmaker and a put-upon father.
He enlivened thrillers like Don Siegel's ''Charley Varrick'' (1973) and ''The Taking of Pelham One Two Three'' (1974), and he played W. C. Fields-like child-detesters in ''The Bad News Bears'' (1976) and the 1980 remake of ''Little Miss Marker.'' Other characters were a lugubrious editor in ''The Front Page'' (1974), a henpecked assassin in ''Buddy Buddy'' (1981) and a crusty Supreme Court justice in ''First Monday in October'' (1981). In 1993 he was the beleaguered Mr. Wilson in ''Dennis the Menace.''
Mr. Matthau's personality also gleamed in bouts with other potent personalities: Barbra Streisand in ''Hello, Dolly!'' (1969), Elaine May in ''A New Leaf'' (1971), Carol Burnett in ''Pete 'n' Tillie'' (1972), Mr. Burns in ''The Sunshine Boys'' (1975), and Glenda Jackson in ''House Calls'' (1978) and ''Hopscotch'' (1980).

And then there were 3… EMI split, where does it lead?
Universal Music Group and Sony Music continue to dominate the music biz storylines this year with the unpredictable conclusion of the EMI auction, Read more…
EMI Derby Ramps Up As It Winds Down
Numerous recent reports have Citigroup closing a deal (or two) for the sale of EMI by the end of this week, including a New York Post piece today claiming that a fight for the recorded music arm is down to billionaires Len Blavatnik, whose Access Industries now owns Warner Music Group, and MacAndrews & Forbes Worldwide chairman Rob Perelman. On the publishing side, KKR and Bertelsmann-backed BMG Rights Management is being called the clear frontrunner, though Sony still isn't being completely counted out. New Bertelsmann CEO Thomas Rabe who is said to be making the rounds in New York this week, is very familiar with EMI, previously serving as Bertelsmann CFO since 2006 until his recent promotion, where he kicked the tires on the music group prior to Terra Firma's acquisition of the company in 2007 and then again at EMI Music Publishing in 2009, in discussions that likely included Citi as well… As we mentioned back at the outset of summer, Warner Music and BMG all along have been the favorites to end up with EMI's recorded music and publishing arms, though many other suitors entered the bidding fray as expected as well. Among the many questions we are hearing with regard to the likely new owners of EMI, is the fate of current executives on both sides following a deal – including EMI Group CEO Roger Faxon, WMG's Edgar Bronfman Jr., Capitol & Virgin NA label prexy Dan McCarroll, EMI Music Publishing's Big Jon Platt, BMG's Hartwig Masuch and Laurent Hubert and many others… Stay tuned.
Bits & Pieces: Apple's Looming Cloud, Amazon Goes Gaga, Facebook Music & more…
Last week saw reports that Apple has signed licensing agreements with EMI Music and Sony Music for its imminent cloud-music service, leaving Universal Music Group the sole holdout, though word seems to be that a deal is on the cusp. While many of those watching are predicting an announcement of the new service at Apple's annual WWDC event in June, the other remaining issue is having deals in place with the major music publishing companies, which right now they don't appear to have. According to a report on CNET, despite Apple's previous stepping out with increased iTunes song-sample lengths without the approval of publishers that created a contentious situation, there isn't much keeping the two sides apart on a cloud-streaming agreement… Most are already hailing Apple as the fait-accompli winner of the cloud music 'wars', though Amazon made a big wave this week by offering Lady Gaga's new album Born This Way at a deeply discounted price, a move that the WSJ paints as an offensive on the iTunes digital music dominance, though Amazon is still a long way from making a dent in iTunes stranglehold. According to the article's sources, Born This Way sold between 250,000 – 350,000 across both online marketplaces in its first day… Over the weekend news surfaced that Access Industries and Len Blavatnik's offer for Warner Music was not the highest, a group including Sony Corp., Guggenheim Partners and Ron Perelman offered 3% more at $8.50 a share, though the deal would have been contingent on Sony board and partner approval. How this will effect the multiple shareholder lawsuits Warner is currently facing is yet to be seen… Speaking at e-G8 in Paris this week, Sean Parker made comments, as MediaMemo notes, that may explain his interest in the recent bidding on Warner Music, and could also portend future involvement in bidding on recorded music companies, an excerpt: I think that there is a pretty dramatic change in the way music is monetized that is on the cusp of happening. Back catalogues of record labels are going to become extremely valuable…If you believe this transformation is occurring, if you believe the broken distribution systems are on the verge of being fixed, those recordings are dramatically undervalued… And speaking of labels for sale, Forbes has a profile of EMI group CEO Roger Faxon, framing him as the key in the label's recent turnaround, including major digital breakthroughs with Beatles and Pink Floyd catalogs, though his future at the company may depend solely on who the new owners will be… And is Facebook Music launching soon and on the back of Spotify?
More EMI & WMG: Hands Won't Give Up & Warner Racing to the Block
In his first public appearance since the turnover of EMI Music to Citigroup, Terra Firma's Guy Hands said he is considering buying EMI, according to a report in Bloomberg, but that it is a "question of price," adding, "They are going to auction it, and we will see if they can get more for it than we offered." Addressing the split of EMI's two divisions, Hands declared, "You've really got to keep the two together so that you have the stability of publishing's earnings versus the volatility of the recorded music division." Following the bank's takeover of the music company, much of the publicity has shifted to EMI CEO Roger Faxon, and his rumored stealth efforts to save the label, being credited with leading a behind the scenes effort without Hands' knowledge. Others in the know share that the spin has been well orchestrated leading up to Citi taking control, to keep Faxon's place at the table moving forward… Meanwhile, the New York Post reports that Warner Music Group is trying to beat Citigroup to the finish line, hoping to get a sale in place before EMI. Particularly in light of the presumed interest in selling off its publishing division Warner/Chappell before EMI Publishing, as it would be hard pressed to compete. Interested bidders named include Zomba founder Clive Calder, Russian investor Leonard Blavatnik, Universal Music, Sony Music, KKR and music publishing giant Imagem. While whether or not WMG backers Thomas H. Lee Partners, Bain Capital and Providence Equity Partners are looking to cash out or just unload WC is unclear, the article claims CEO Edgar Bronfman Jr. is anything but ready to get out of the music business.
Fixing A Hole: Citigroup Takes Over EMI Music
It was a question of when not if, and today comes the news that U.S. bank Citigroup has taken control of EMI Music from previous owner Terra Firma. In the deal, which sees Guy Hands relinquishing command of his firm's most high-profile acquisition and the end of a dragged-out final act, EMI's debt has been cut 65 percent, from 3.4 billion pounds to 1.2 billion pounds, and leaves current management, including CEO Roger Faxon, in place. The questions now turn to who will buy EMI, will Citi break up the recorded music and publishing divisions, how quickly will it go down and what effects will new ownership have in the mean time? For more coverage head here, here or here….
Happening: Pink Floyd Re-Ups with EMI & LimeWire Won't Go Quietly
A couple of 2010′s most-followed music industry stories have headlines rolling out in the first week of the new year… Continuing with checkmarks in the positive column for EMI, is the announcement of a new 5-year deal with Pink Floyd, which also effectively ends the legal dispute between the band and label. Last year the band took action against its longtime label over the a-la-carte digital sale of their songs and online royalty payment calculations. While keeping the iconic group on the roster is another coup for new group chief Roger Faxon, and a reversal in the trend of big-name acts exiting their longtime relationships with EMI in recent years, the move can be seen as primarily an effort to retain as much value as possible in the event of a sale by debt-embroiled owner Terra Firma, which most still believe is likely… LimeWire has been busy dealing with the fallout of a recent final defeat in its lengthy legal battles, and yesterday The Hollywood Reporter legal blog posted details about the latest turn in the ongoing saga. Ahead of a final looming trial, which will determine the damages owed by the file-sharing site, lawyers for LimeWire are now attempting to force third-party licensees, so far only Amazon.com it seems, to turn over documents, including contracts, royalty payments and internal company communications relating to agreements with the labels. The judge in the case has already ordered record companies to turn over their information about royalty payments relating to alleged infringed upon works. This isn't sufficient according to LimeWire's attorneys. So far Amazon has not complied with the request, and it's unclear if other licensees like Apple have also received similar requests. What is clear however, is that LimeWire is not going down quietly, and will do its best to shed light on licensing agreements heretofore kept in the dark.
More Bits & Pieces: LimeWire Pirated, Viacom Selling 'Rock Band', WMG Acquires Roadrunner & Faxon's Memo
In a response to the surfacing of pirated LimeWire software online, LimeWire LLC has issued a cease-and-desist notice in an effort to stop the spread of the illegal software. The company was recently handed a permanent injunction, forcing the end of their distribution of the file-sharing software… Viacom has announced that they are selling Harmonix and have classified the Rock Band maker as a "discontinued operation" – the decision comes in response to falling sales for the once hugely popular game… After buying nearly 75% of the label in 2007, Warner Music Group has fully acquired Roadrunner Records. The label is expected to operate as an individual brand within the WMG stable… And Roger Faxon has issued a memo to EMI staff in response to the whirlwind of forecasting and speculation surrounding the label in the wake of the recent losing verdict for Terra Firma in their case against Citigroup. Billboard has the memo in full here…
Situation at EMI: Was Exec Shuffling Ahead of Verdict Early Signal of Break Up?
In the wake of a courtroom defeat for Guy Hands and Terra Firma in the legal action brought against Citigroup, all talk has turned to the fate of EMI. With the likelihood of more investors stumping up funds to keep the company in control of its current owners slim, and a dept-for-equity swap with Citi or even licensing content to another major music group, an avenue that was explored previously, exist in the realm of possibility, almost all signs indicate that one way or another the music company will fall into new hands (no pun intended). The list of suitors currently being thrown around includes the usual suspects who have had an eye on EMI's recorded and publishing sectors, such as BMG Rights Management, Warner Music Group and Sony/ATV. But a look at executive movement within EMI over the past months seems to indicate that a sale or break up of the company may have been a foregone conclusion. Back in June Roger Faxon was named Group Chief Executive, moving him over from his longtime leadership at EMI Music Publishing, and soon after executive house cleaning began with Faxon ultimately tapping Dan McCarroll to take the reigns as prexy of Capitol & Virgin Label Group just last month – McCarroll was also plucked from EMI's pubco where he was previously EVP of creative. And last week saw the news of Rob Stevenson's exit from the label, after being installed as President of Virgin in 2008 under now departed Nick Gatfield. Names of possible replacements being rumored include more execs already planted within the EMI structure. So are all the internal moves simply a reversal in the earlier unsuccessful practice under Hands to bring in outsiders? Or as some are indicating, is it to minimize costs ahead of a sale and reduce the typically high expense of hiring outside for creative executive positions? Stay tuned…


text: The wiki last edited by pikahyper on 05/21/13 08:29AM View full history Loosely based on a teenager's diary from the 1980s found in a gas-station bathroom, Unlovable is the remarkable story of Tammy Pierce, as filtered through the pen and brush of Los Angeles artist Esther Pearl Watson. This boxed set collects the complete, acclaimed two-volume saga of Tammy's sophomore year of high school in 1989.Tammy has built a devoted following over the last several years in the pages of BUST magazine, where Unlovable continues to be serialized on the magazine's back page, and this beautifully produced, slipcased collection features all 832 pages of her sometimes ordinary, sometimes humiliating, often poignant and always hilarious exploits. Her hopes, dreams, agonies and defeats are brought to vivid, comedic life by Watson's lovingly grotesque drawings, filled with all the eighties essentials — too much mascara, leg warmers with heels and huge hair, etc. — as well as timeless teen concerns like acne, dandruff, and the opposite sex (or same sex, in some cases). Unlovable addresses the mysteries of adolescence through Tammy's naivete; girls and women in particular will find much that resonates, but men will also relate to Unlovable's universal humor and wide cast of characters. Tammy's life isn't pretty, but it is endlessly charming and hilarious.This complete edition is handsomely packaged in a specially designed, sturdy slipcase, making it an ideal gift item.

Euroleague Basketball, the premier club competition's ruling body, punished the Greek side for the use of illegal sirens, flares and firecrackers as well as for breaching the official capacity of their OAKA Arena for the two matches against Barca.
"All visiting teams must assume that, whenever they come to Athens, they are very likely to face unsportsmanlike conduct from some home spectators as well as disturbance of all sorts and nature," the league said on the competition's official website.
"Euroleague Basketball's independent disciplinary judge made specific emphasis to the list of violations recurring at Panathinaikos home games during the last two seasons and on the potential physical danger to fans, players and game officials due to the ongoing violations."
Earlier this month, Panathinaikos were fined £125,000 after their president Dimitris Giannakopoulos accused officials of showing bias in a 72-70 defeat by Barcelona in the first game of the series.
Barcelona, who then fell behind after losing the next two games, won 3-2 after levelling the series with an emphatic win in Athens and clinching the tiebreaker 63-54 on their home court to reach the May 10-12 Final Four in London's O2 Arena.
Six-times Euroleague champions Panathinaikos were also fined £7,500 for trouble their fans caused during a regular-season home game against CSKA Moscow on April 4.
Barcelona will meet eight-times winners Real Madrid while holders Olympiakos Piraeus take on CSKA in the semi-finals on May 10. The final and the third-place match will be played two days later.

November 16, 2015
What a blessing New Day has been to so many during the past 6 years and 7 months (to the day). Many would have us believe that the devastation we felt yesterday was a set back, but God's ways are not our ways. We will be fine. We will rebuild. We will prevail. Please keep the New Day family in your prayers as we continue to sort through the ashes and prepare to continue to be all that God has called us to be.
- Rev. Anthony David Coley

Parade of U.S. economic data this week to confirm or refute last week's worries
When we checked in with the global economy last week, the numbers had raised questions about growth in developed economies. A pick up in growth in the world's developed economies is supposed to offset a dip in growth in the developing world in 2014.
A parade of economic data this week will go a long way to confirming or refuting those worries.
In the U.S. consumer spending climbed 0.4% in December on top of a 0.6% increase in November. The November increase was the largest gain in five months. But consumer incomes didn't show a comparable increase as salaries and wages came in close to flat for December. That brought income growth for all of 2013 to 2.8%, the weakest performance since an actual decline in 2008 of 2.8%. The anemic growth in incomes raises questions about the sustainability of the growth in consumer spending. If you're an optimist about 2014, you believe that job growth will add to consumer income. A belief in job growth in 2014 depends, in turn, on a belief in increasing global demand for U.S. goods and services, and continued strength in housing and auto sales.
In Europe the latest data show unemployment in the EuroZone remained stuck at 12% in December and inflation actually moved slightly lower to 0.7% in January. The core rate, which excludes food and energy, moved ahead to 0.8% from 0.7% in December. That's well below the European Central Bank's target of just below 2% and signals that EuroZone economies are still struggling to build any momentum.
And, finally, in the world's third big developed economy, year-end data for Japan showed a continued deterioration in the country's trade deficit. Exports did move ahead by 9% for the year, but that was less growth than had been expected from the Japanese government's weak yen policy. And imports grew by 15% in the year to a record as imports of liquefied natural gas increased 17.5% and imports of crude oil climbed 16.3%. Rising energy imports were the whole story, however, and looking at the data some economists have asked whether the numbers reflect a decline in the global competitiveness of Japanese companies.
This week's calendar is crammed with enough U.S. data to confirm or debunk at least some of those fears about weaker economic growth. On Monday we've got construction spending and car/truck sales. Tuesday brings factory orders and Wednesday the Purchasing Managers Index for services. Thursday starts the lead in to a big Friday ending with initial claims and the U.S. trade balance. Friday concludes with the jobs and unemployment numbers for January. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com are looking for a weak performance with the unemployment rate stuck at 6.7% and net new jobs totaling just 175,000.

It seems like eons ago that you made that New Year's resolution to live a little healthier, but you made it, and we'll help you stick to it. Whether you're looking for a new set of knives for chopping veggies, a blender for making smoothies, or all the gear you need for an at-home Pilates workout, there are enough picks here to keep you fit for the foreseeable future — and beyond.
Venice Beach bungalows have that perfectly breezy, laid-back quality that appears completely effortless. But it isn't always easy to achieve (especially if you don't live in the Golden State). Luckily, we've done the work for you: These wonderfully beachy furnishings and accents come in organic shapes and have beautifully weathered textures tinted with colors that recall the sea and sand.
Celebrate Earth Day with these furnishings and accents for the home. All evoke nature, either figuratively (classic, earth-toned sheets and bath towels), literally (acacia wood bowls and platters, bamboo cutting boards, and even a teak garlic press), or both (clean-burning soy wax candles in fragrances like green grass and hyacinth).

Hi Frederick,
I was wondering if it is posible to use the add_action function even with caching the page.
I have a Stats plugin wich calls:
function es_pageviews(){
if(is_single() || is_page()){
global $post;
$pv = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_pageviews',true);
update_post_meta($post->ID, '_pageviews', $pv+1);
Very simple, as you can see.
Using W3 Total Cache it gets cached, of course.
Is there any chance I can force it to run the function? (even if the W3 Total Cache shows the static page as usual)
I mean... update the post_meta "on background".
Waiting for answer,

A brick building next to Morey Elementary School in Stroudsburg is being demolished to make way for more parking.
For the past several years, the school district has used the building to house its construction offices during the high school renovation project. Prior to that, the building was used to house the district's directors, Superintendent John Toleno said.
Construction of the interior of the high school was finished at the end of May. All that remains is some exterior work to the high school's sports fields, tennis courts and parking lot, Toleno said.
Now that the construction project has been finished, there is no need for the building, so it's being demolished.
"It was all part of the plan to be torn down," he said.
Once demolition is complete, additional parking spaces for teachers will be made available.

How Much Does Air Duct Sealing Cost?
|Need a pro near you? Get multiple quotes for free online. Get your quote now >>
For houses that require heating and cooling systems, ducts can be used to distribute and circulate the air. Air may be lost in the vessel and this will mean reduced efficiency of the system; this, in return, leads to increased energy bills and the house will not be able to meet the expected comfort levels. An air duct sealing system is used to close any holes, leaks, or poorly linked ducts. A duct sealing system involves identifying inefficiency in your system and making necessary steps to improve it. You can do it by yourself or find an expert to do it for you. During the process, the system will seal or cover the ducts with a rubber or non-toxic material. Since rubber is a poor conductor of heat, it will neither lose nor gain heat to and from the environment.
How much is it?
- There are different processes and materials use in air duct sealing. An aerosol air duct sealing system, for example, will not cost you much. For example, the cost of labor per hour can be anywhere from $50 to $130 per hour, and installation may take an average of 8 hours, bringing the total cost of air duct sealing to $450 to $1,040. Since most jobs are going to be unique, consider getting multiple quotes from HomeAdvisor.com. However, this price can be lower if you were to take advantage of local tax credits.
- On LBL.gov, a user stated that the average homeowner should be prepared to spend about $1,200 to $1,500.
- In North Carolina, homeperformancenc.com gave a few examples of what customers paid in the past. For example, one 3,200 square foot home paid $570 for an audit and the duct sealing.
What is going to be included?
- Before the procedure begins, a contractor will set up test equipment to depressurize the house to find any holes or leaks. During this process, the registers will be blocked with foam, forcing the air to go out through the leaks. Special technology and sensors are used to measure and control the process. When the leaks are located, the joints in the ductwork will be sealed using a special paste that is non-toxic and effective. After these leaks are plugged, the contractor should run the test again to measure the leakage.
- The benefit of sealing your ducts will be energy saving efficient, give you pronounced comfort in your house and better air quality.
- Most are able to seal holes that are up to 5/8th of an inch wide.
- Some companies may provide limited warranties.
What are the extra costs?
- The extra costs you may incur will be regular inspections, which should be done once a year.
- Be prepared to have this procedure done every 10 years.
- If there are any problems noticed during the procedure, you may need some repairs done. Any repair or replacement will be an additional cost.
Tips to know:
- It is said that about 20% of the cool or warm air in the air ducts is lost due to leaks within the system. In order to determine whether or not this is a problem in your home, check the following things:
- If you compare your summer cooling bills and winter heating bills with those of your neighbors (with similar size homes) and yours are much higher, chances are you have leaks in your duct work.
- There may be some rooms in your home that are harder to cool or warm, usually those that are further away from the furnace.
- If the rooms in your home are beginning to feel stuffy and stale, it may be due to the air not being circulated as well since the ducts are leaking air.
- Observing the system can give you a lot of clues. If there are any kinks in any of the duct work or if there are any visible or audible air leaks, chances are good that this is true in the rest of the home as well.
- There are some things that you can do on your own to help with air duct sealing. You can inspect and repair any of the ductwork that you can see in attics, garages, basements, etc. You can also check the connections around the vents to make sure they are sealed since this is one of the most common problem areas. However, it is not recommended that you use duct tape to repair anything; it does not last as long and is not as efficient.
How can I save money?
- An air duct sealing system can save a lot. A series of reports from the government have shown energy savings of up to $850 per year after getting air ducts sealed. Homeowners have been able to save up to 40% of their energy bills, and although the exact energy saving is difficult to estimate, most homeowners, regardless of the climate, have been able to save as much as 40 percent.
- Some states such as Oregon offer tax credits to homeowners who take advantage of this service. Check with your local government or look online to see if you can take advantage of any credits.

Is it comfortable? Do people look at you funny? Any tips/experiences that you want to share?
I don't have custom like You have mentioned, but I walk with My over the ear Grado's all the time except when it's pouring or a blizzard. I do not care what people think how I look, I'm just enjoying My music at a comfortable listening level. And Yes I have been told I look like an Alien, do I care, Nah, I just Love My Music!
I do use my customs for everyday listening, including on public transports. They may attract some attention every now and then but frankly speaking, most people don't give a damn. They are definitely more comfortable and help to block out excessive noise from motorbikes etc.
I thought the whole reason to having any iems was portability? Why wouldn't you use them on the street....
Generally, yes, if you are going for one pair... however, when you have more than one... you tend to be a little bit more picky and choosey (in a bad way). For example, while I CAN go out with my Sony MDR-EX1000, I will preferably not do so because isolation is so poor compared to my other IEMs.
In terms of custom IEMs though, I probably wouldn't bring it outside either... until I theoretically master the art of removing them extremely quickly and putting them back in equally as quickly.
I use my customs in public transportation such as bus, subway, and just general outdoor use just fine. Every once in a while I get a what is that thing but nothing out of the ordinary.
I always thought that being cased in by acrylic would improve its durability compared to the rest of the IEMs. Of course, that doesn't mean you should do anything extreme with them and I most definitely wouldn't consider doing sports in case my sweat seeps into the shells. Walking and traveling with them should be fine, especially with the nice isolation they offer as well.
I don't make it habit (especially now that I have the Shure 215), but I have and do use it on public occasionally. Actually, I get less strange looks with the custom 1964-Q in my ears than with the clear 215 or SM2 - where people can see the electronics in the shell.
Lol people actually ask you out of the blue?
when i get my $1800 JH3A custom IEM rig you better believe i'm gonna haul it with me everywhere i go. for that kinda money im gonna suck every moment of enjoyment out of them as possible ;-).
the whole reason i bought this rig is so i could use it more!
That's the way I'm thinking. Why buy something so small if you aren't going to use them in a portable setting? You could have bought full size cans. Anyways if my customs from 1964 ears ever arrive they will be 100% portable use...biggies when I don't need to move.
My custom ACS T1s are all I ever use for when I am out and about and in the office. I love the isolation they provide, but you do have to make sure you are 100% alert to what is going on around you. Also with that level of isolation, its a weird feeling to see the world go on around you while you are 100% cocooned in your music.
Wearing them in the office is the only pain, as people keep insisting on talking to me and I have to spend a few seconds digging them out of my ears...although I do have that down to a fine art now lol
Gonna use my all the time and use it everywhere when i get my tf10 + 2 drivers remoulded back.
It's a nice sunny day today so I walked into work while listening to my ACS T1s. The silicon is very comfortable and the isolation is great. They might look a bit like hearing aids but that might work in my favour as the local chavs might decide not to verbally abuse me.
