Ruiz Set to Compete at 2010 World Wrestling Championships in Moscow
Former Husker All-American Justin Ruiz will put his talents to test on the international level as he will take part in the 2010 World Wrestling Championships in Moscow, Russia from Sept. 6-12. Ruiz is part of the 21-member U.S. wrestling team that also includes former Nebraska club coach Travis Paulson.
Ruiz qualified for the 2010 World Championships after he won the Greco-Roman 96-kilogram (211.5 pounds) title at the U.S. World Team Trials in June. Ruiz had previously retired from the sport of wrestling but made a remarkable comeback as he will be competing in his fifth World Championship competition with hopes of returning to the medal stand after claiming bronze in 2005.
A native of Salt Lake City, Utah, Ruiz was a two-time All-American for the Huskers in 2002 and 2003. He was named the team's Redshirt of the Year in 1999 and also earned Most Improved Wrestler and Most Dedicated Wrestler awards during his career. He finished with a 43-16 record, including a 16-5 mark in 2002-03.
Paulson will compete for the U.S. as the 74-kilogram freestyle champion. He qualified for the squad by defeating 2010 NCAA champion Andrew Howe (Wisconsin) in the World Team Trial after also defeating his twin brother, Trent. Both Paulson's were Nebraska club coaches during the 2008-09 season.
The seven-day competition will start with the Greco-Roman tournament, followed by women's freestyle and men's freestyle.
Daily coverage of the 2010 World Championships will be available on TheMat.com, provided by USA Wrestling.

Hello America. Why yes I am behind on my Holidailies posts. I was spending time with my 80 year old grandma at my 80 year old grandma's house. She's not tech savvy enough to have internet access and even if she did, it would be that god awful dial up that would take ten thousand years to upload any pictures anyway. And well, 80 year old grandmas are a higher priority than some random internet meme. So there you go.
The annual Melissa family Christmas celebration goes like this.
We go to my Mom's Mom's house. Mom's Dad died back in the late 70s. We spend Thanksgiving with Dad's family. This was decided way back before I was even born. It makes sense really. Mom is one of two siblings. Dad is one of six.
Now we go to my Mom's Mom's house and on the 24th we have a baked ham. We make sandwiches with the baked ham. The sides include the lettuce and tomato and what you would consider toppings for a sandwich. Also, there is pimento and cheese. I don't know if "pimento and cheese" is a Southern thing but there you go.
Besides the meal itself, there is a cornucopia of snack foods: cookies, Chex Mix, the summer sausage/cheese/spicy mustard combo, pecan brittle, etc.
Now the 24th, the family would open the presents and clean up the area around the tree so that when Santa came, he would have room to set up the toys on Christmas day. THis meant when the kids woke up, the toys were already assembled under the tree and ready to go. Yeah it was fun times.
Also, back in the day, every other family on the street (well it was all cousins) would open their presents on Christmas day. This would leave a whole bunch of people bored. They would come down to grandma's house and have a helluva time. Back in the day, there was also a lot of liquor around. As the cousins got older and became grandparents on their own, that tradition sort of stopped.
But to this very day, we open our presents on Christmas eve. I guess this is preparing me for the god awful visitation arrangement with my future ex-husband and our future kids who will be floating between the families. Nobody ever said I wasn't prepared.
On Christmas day, we have turkey, dressing, and the other traditional "Christmas foods." Grandma's dressing is a cornbread based dressing and it ends up really thick with a consistency similar to bread pudding. It also has quite a bit of sage in it. We eat around lunch time. There you go.
My family quit trying to buy me things for Christmas years ago. Usually they ask for a "Christmas list" where I list things I would like and they pick from that list. But lately, they've even dropped that pretext and I usually get a bunch of cash. Of course, cash is impersonal and so I usually get something small and "thoughtful" to go along with my money.
One year, I got a Tickle me Big Bird. I was twenty seven years old. One year, my Aunt got footie pajamas. I'm not even going to say how old she was because she will find this web post, hunt me down, and kill me.
So this year, I got a lovely dark purple faux reptile (or maybe real who knows) handbag, (seriously it's something I will actually use), a Timex Ironman watch, a bunch of cash, a snuggie, and a shake weight.
That's right kids. A SNUGGIE
and a SHAKE WEIGHT!
As you can see, not only did I get a snuggie. I got the most whacked out designed by a six year old girl on acid Snuggie in the world. Seriously, what the hell? I asked my mother and she replied, "I wanted to make sure you didn't lose it"
No siree. Homeless people would slap me if I attempted to give them that monstrosity.
As far as the shake weight is concerned, I almost bought my Aunt a shake weight. It's like the smart ass version of the Gift of the Magi at our house.
My Dad got a pistol and some CDs. My Mom got some cooking items. My grandma got an air compressor. My Aunt got a car vac. Everybody got watches from my grandma. Apparently, she went to an outlet mall watch store and stocked up.
My brother spent Christmas at one the family home of one of his roommates.
I spent a couple of days after the holiday hanging out with my grandma, watching goofy television. We went out to eat and hung out like girls. She has some random pain in her hip and doesn't like to drive after dark so when someone comes to visit, she is all about having someone take her somewhere.
About a year and a half ago, she started experiencing pain. It turned out she had a slight curve in her spine that went untreated as a kid. As a result, the disc between one of the greatest curves has pretty much eroded away. It puts pressure on a nerve that makes it feel like her hip is hurting. Somehow it goes back to her back. This is the first time that she's really felt like she can't do anything. She's feeling her age and she really hates it. It gets her down. Two years ago, her BFF Bud died. He used to come over every morning and drink coffee at her house. Now she doesn't get nearly as many visitors. As a result, I try to spend as much time as I can with her.
I did. It was nice.

Smart packing tips for study and travel abroad
One of the questions before travel abroad for a longer term is: What to pack? Depending on your circumstances like you study abroad a year /semester or travel around a lot. Obviously if you are going to spend your time in one city in UK need different plan like someone else who travelling around Europe. There are many tips and tricks how to pack what to bring with yourself. I searched a little bit around and decided instead of create my own list better collect the best advices in one place. The articles and list contain lists what to (and what should not) pack. The size is greatly depends on your travel method too. In addition, airlines are having different weight restrictions so it is really matters if the limit is 40kg or 20kg. If your travel about backpacking around Europe and want to use low cost airlines you have to know they weight policies even worse. When you check the ticket prices online usually, the luggage fee is not included. When planning study abroad UK I would not recommend pack too much clothes. In that case you are on an extremely tight budget might want to bring more. As I mentioned in previous post clothes are quite cheap in UK. Moreover, if you planning to buy a new laptop better check out UK retail prices, there are a lot of good deal out there. Also, check out the gadget list for students I recommend. If you are travelling from Hong Kong, China or Taiwan possibly can buy the stuff for the fragile of the UK price.
General advices before start:
Do not leave it for a last minute
Make a plan in time what you want to bring along.
Make a list, later you can modify add or remove items.
Check the weight restrictions of your chosen airline.
Try to eliminate things you can buy in your destination anyway (beauty products etc.)
Make sure you have all the documents (Passport+VISA, letters.) + photocopy of them just in case.
The most important and expensive things (documents, money, mp3 player, phone, laptop) should be carried with you in the hand luggage.
Blogs, articles worth to check out:
The Study Abroad Blog's packing list for study abroad a year
Great study abroad and travel blog from Neil an American student who spent 1 year in Scotland. He made a complete "2 suitcase" list with possibly all the things you may need. In my opinion few stuff is unnecessary like too much clothes (1-2 jeans should be enough instead of three). Toiletries listed in his post absolute unnecessary extra weight. What you need is toothbrush, razor, nail clipper and make up for girls. Anything else you can buy anywhere (c'mon why should I carry for example from Thailand soap and shower gel?) unless you want to stick to a certain brand you can not buy elsewhere. The rest of the list is quite good I think.
MatadorAbroad's "How to pack for a semester" guide
Their article focuses on students who want to travel light and maybe backpacking around a bit. Quite short list only the necessary things. They highlight not to bring laptop with you, but I think a light netbook still can squeeze in the list.
More articles, blog posts about packing for study abroad:

517th Friday Blog Roundup
I should probably keep posting reminders through December about the Creme de la Creme. So… here's your reminder!
The 2014 Creme de la Creme list is open for entries until December 15th. No one will be added after December 15th. Read the post to see how to be a part of the Creme de la Creme, which is open to every member of the ALI (adoption/loss/infertility) community.
Consider that your weekly reminder.
I know it has already gotten 300,000 comments and many more views, but in case you missed it, I really love this little comic on life and death. It made me cry. Then the cynical part of me started thinking, "are all people really gifts? I mean, Hitler sucked as a gift." And then I smacked the cynical part of me across the face and went back to sniffling.
Stop procrastinating. Go make your backups. Don't have regrets.
Seriously. Stop what you're doing for a moment. It will take you fifteen minutes, tops. But you will have peace of mind for days and days. It's the gift to yourself that keeps on giving.
As always, add any new thoughts to the Friday Backup post and peruse new comments in order to find out about methods, plug-ins, and devices that help you quickly back up your data and accounts.
And now the blogs…
But first, second helpings of the posts that appeared in the open comment thread last week. In order to read the description before clicking over, please return to the open thread:
- "In the News" (Egged On)
- "Eyes" (Stirrup Queens) — thank you, Northern Star
- "Those Two Things" (Searching for Our Silver Lining)
- "Microblog Mondays: The Waiting Game" (Inconceivable!)
- "What Do You Do?" (A Half Baked Life)
- "False Hope, Frozen Eggs, and Lying to Women About 'Having it All'" (Mom.me)
Okay, now my choices this week.
What a Day for a Daydream has a post about wanting another child after finally reaching parenthood with twins. She explains: "I never knew how many children I wanted until I actually had them." There was a lot I related to in this post, and I found the should-we-shouldn't-we discussion interesting.
In Quest of a Binky Moongee has a post about the feelings that bubble up after spending time caring for a friend's child. She writes, "The house felt eerily empty when the little guy was gone. The next day, on my way to work, the emptiness was almost unbearable in the car. I so wish that I could reach back and touch my baby's hair." I think most of us have experienced this, but she captures it particularly well.
Lastly, in a very small space, Quodlibet gives everyone a way to make sense of the highs and lows in life. It was the reminder I needed to hold all the good and bad in my heart at the same time; "to weep with those who are weeping, and rejoice with those who are rejoicing." Gorgeous post.
The roundup to the Roundup: Your friendly Creme de la Creme reminder. I love that comic. Your weekly backup nudge. And lots of great posts to read. So what did you find this week? Please use a permalink to the blog post (written between October 17th and 24th) and not the blog's main url. Not understanding why I'm asking you what you found this week? Read the original open thread post here.

This week I loved this post by Three Geminis called Good in the Middle of Difficult. http://threegeminis.wordpress.com/2014/10/21/good-in-the-middle-of-difficult/

Wow, I loved that comic, too. What a great way to look at it.
I have really been enjoying Turia's series on "Lonely Onlies" – her reactions to reading Lauren Sandler's book with the same name. She has three posts, and I liked every one, probably because I am the mom of a likely only child and I'm glad I'm not alone in processing through my emotions around it.

Something from Freshly Pressed, the big read for me this week:
- 4 Infertile Girl { 10.27.14 at 9:40 pm }
Inconceivable!'s post about how guarded she is in this pregnancy now that she's experienced loss was one that stuck with me this week. It really highlights another thing infertility steals, the unadulterated joy, that someone who doesn't know how lucky they are, feel when they find out they're pregnant. http://inconceivable12.wordpress.com/2014/10/18/floating/

I could really relate to this post by Sarah at Infertility Honesty — and I was blown away by the amazing writing:

NAV1 forms a complex with the RhoGEF TRIO and the +TIP EB1 on the plus ends of growing microtubules, and regulates TRIO-mediated Rac1 activation and neurite outgrowth.
cloning of the gene neuron navigator-1 (NAV1), a human homolog of unc-53, a gene involved in axon guidance in Caenorhabditis elegans
This is the first functional characterization of the mouse homologue, mouse neuron navigator 1 (mNAV1), whose expression is largely restricted to the nervous system during development; mNAV1 associates with microtubules.
in macaque and human retinae, we show that NaV1.1 (show SCN1A Antibodies) is concentrated in an axon initial segment (AIS (show AR Antibodies))-like region of magnocellular pathway bipolar cells, a specialization not seen in transient bipolar cells of other vertebrates
This gene belongs to the neuron navigator family and is expressed predominantly in the nervous system. The encoded protein contains coiled-coil domains and a conserved AAA domain characteristic for ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities. This gene is similar to unc-53, a Caenorhabditis elegans gene involved in axon guidance. The exact function of this gene is not known, but it is thought to play a role in in neuronal development and regeneration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

The Islanders play with a system, on some nights it works like clockwork – on other nights it looks like pandemonium or just disarray. For anyone that uses a computer that runs ANY Microsoft operating system – sometimes you just need to hit CTRL-ALT-DEL (Control – Alt – Delete) to "reboot" the system. After the showing the team put up in a home loss on Saturday and a follow up stinker tonight in Toronto – it's about that time.
What can they do to reboot you ask? Let's do a quick synopsis of what I saw tonight:
I have faith in Gordon, this is not me sounding an alarm to get him out of here. He needs time to grow and adapt to the league in order to be completely successful – but at the same time, I don't understand why the team just collapses like they do. When they are on, they are dead on – but the same holds true for when they are off.
On one hand, I am completely frustrated by their play. On the other – I hope they stay in the basement cellar for the rest of the season. The first round pick (very very HIGH pick) is just what this franchise needs to rebuild, no matter who says what.
Tomorrow is going to be interesting as always, Philadelphia always seems to play the Islanders hard – the biggest question is how will the Islanders respond?
Posted by Michael Schuerlein on 22 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Uncategorized
That revolving door the Islanders use really needs some maintenance after all the use it's getting lately. With Franz Nielsen going down to injury last night, the Islanders have recalled center Jeremy Colliton from their AHL affiliate in Bridgeport. It's unfortunate that Nielsen was injured as he was playing some great hockey as of late and was beaming with confidence – hopefully he comes back soon.
In the meantime, I don't even know if it's worth dissecting last nights loss to the Devils. The team looked like they were off for a month instead of a few days. They came out flat, mentally unprepared and just unable to get anything going. The Devils were able to walk all over the team, set up in front of the MacDonald all game long and score via deflections and redirections at will. The Islanders need to recenter and find what got them fired up for Ottawa and Vancouver. Those teams were tough teams, there was no reason why they couldn't come out of The Rock last night with two points if they continued their play.
The team faces a really tough team tonight in Buffalo, although the Sabres have struggled themselves at certain points this season as well. They have their identity again though, so the Islanders really need to come into this game with theirs – the Go-Go Gordons.
The Islanders need to set up their forecheck early, they need to send bodies to the net – just like the play when Bergenheim scored off of Sutton's rebound. They need to jump all over loose pucks and go to the net – "Skate, Skate, Skate" like Weight says. Lastly, the defenders need to clear the crease out for MacDonald. Allow him to see everything and keep the opposition from getting sticks on shots or even off the defenders skates.
It sure would be nice to come out of this road trip with a few points, hopefully they can do something tonight. I won't be around to watch the game though as I will be at the Beer Expo at Nassau Coliseum. I will follow the game as much as possible via the live tracker – I may comment from time to time on the post, should be a good night.

An afternoon game? That was my initial thought when I peered over my calendar. I knew I would be home from my trip to Vegas and I also knew it would be Veterans day, but I wasn't sure if I had the day off. I do not.
As a season ticket holder and member of the Blog Box, I dislike missing many games. During the past week I
sat out missed three so missing today hurts a bit. I am going to try my hardest to get to the game, even if I have to go in work clothes. I even started at 7am today so I would be done at three instead of four. It would make cutting out of work early more pallateable to my office.
That is just one instance of uncertainty.
What else is uncertain? The status of several Islanders players for this afternoons game against the Flyers.
Josh Bailey has been "activated" by the club, but nobody knows if he will play or be sent down to the Bridge for some conditioning (3 games max). Going back to the 3rd jersey intro last month – my conversations with Josh were great. I felt for the guy because not only was he all alone at the hotel (everyone else got apartments or condos) but he did not have a car so he felt trapped. At least one of his problems will soon be solved – he will be back to playing, something he longed for. Good for you kid, I cannot wait to see your debut whether it's Bridgeport or the Isles!
Mike Comrie also may or may not be playing today – he wanted to get his recently repaired hip "checked out". Whether or not this means Comrie has been playing through discomfort or not is unknown, but I don't think it gives him a full pardon on not producing – but it may (who knows about him anymore).
Radek Martinek aka Glass Man, has also been cleared for full practices – but the team has not really said if he is going to dress or not today. Having Marty back on the ice would be great – but this is a guy who can sneeze wrong and reinjure himself. I would prefer he works a bit more so he can at least attempt to make it through the remainder of the season, well at least the first half.
The last bit of uncertainty, the little matter of the Islanders blowing leads in the third period. Will they step up their effort today and battle a full 60 minutes? I guess we will find out a whole lot in the next few hours, won't we?
Posted by Michael Schuerlein on 04 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Uncategorized
Sorry folks, not really going to be able to catch much of the game tonight as it is the first day of the 2008 SEMA show. I will be watching the live tracker and checking in from time to time.
The team honestly did not deserve to win last night, but now they need to build on the game and work the full 60 minutes. I wasn't expecting Hitchcock to sit by going into the third and not fire up his team, they came out ready to win and almost succeeded in doing so.
The Rangers are going to be tough, given their similar collapse against Toronto the other night – it is definitely going to be a fun game to watch – wish I could.

Just got done downstairs at the Islanders business club event, where they unveiled the new 3rd jersey to debut at home next Saturday November 1st. As promised, I got out of work early to get downstairs and scoop some photos that we have spoken about since early July!

Lumbini Park blast case cracked
Vicky Nanjappa | February 12, 2008 10:45 IST
Six months after terrorists struck at Lumbini Park in Hyderabad, claiming 11 lives and injuring several others, the police have finally found their man -- Lashkar-e-Tayiba terrorist Riyazuddin Nasir.
Though the revelation has reduced the burden of the Hyderabad police, it will now have to probe further and try to find the man who set off a similar explosion at the Gokul Chats in the city on the same day (August 25, 2007) in which over 25 people lost their lives.
The police were able to confirm Nasir's role in the blasts through the Narco Analysis test, which was conducted on him last week. Through the test they also found that he was planning to blow up the police headquarters in Hyderabad and was expecting a consignment of 50 kg RDX from Pakistan.
Two days after the blasts, the Hyderabad police had prepared a sketch of the man who had set of the Lumbini park blasts. A group of engineers from Maharashtra, who were present at the park, had given the description of the bomber. They revealed that the bomber had shifted seats frequently and could have placed the bomb and slipped away when the show was on.
Taking a look at the sketch prepared by the police and Nasir's photograph, one could easily say that there is not much similarity between them. The police face a severe problem when it comes to the software used while preparing such a sketch. The software needs to be upgraded as it cannot describe correctly the face of the accused if he sports a modern hair style or wears a sun glasses.
A similar bomb had been placed at the Gokul Chats on the same day. The police have, however, not managed to get a description of the man behind it as there was too much chaos on the place when the explosion occurred.

Can you believe it's already December 1st?! My goodness, where did November go? I was eating my breakfast yesterday and realized that it was the last day of November, which meant I needed to do a recap of my November goals. My first thought was "Uhhh hopefully I did okay on them!". Since November flew by so fast, I didn't even get a chance to "check in" with my goals periodically to see how I was doing. I guess this is it, my friends! Hopefully I did alright on them! 😉 Here goes nothin'!!
Below I will list each of the goals I strived for throughout the month of November, and then I will briefly recap on how I did on them.
Goal #1: To stay in tune with my hunger cues and body's desires so that no binge cycles occur, particularly through the holidays.
I did pretty well with this one. This has been a goal of mine not only for the month of November, but also for the rest of my life. I wanted to specifically focus on it throughout the holiday months because I find it more challenging with all of the food and goodies around. I look back on the month of November, and I feel like I did well with balancing my eats. I ate healthy most of the time with the occasional indulgence, and truly enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong, there were a few times where I was tempted to eat way more than I should've because of stress, emotions, boredom, etc., but I fought through it. It wasn't easy, but I did it. 🙂
Goal #2: I am going to take on Tina's "Be Thankful Challenge" to consciously think of something that I am thankful for each day.
I did great the first couple weeks of November, but then it slowly fell to the wayside as the month went on. I wish I would've done better because I think this was a great challenge. It really helps you focus on the blessings in your life!
Goal #3: To practice some sort of yoga routine once a week.
Uhhh ok, I'll be straight up on this one – I did terrible with this. I did ONE yoga workout throughout the entire month of November. I should've done at least FOUR if I accomplished my goal and did one yoga workout per week. Oh boy, I have some work to do on this… I do feel like I have made some progress in enjoying yoga though. I discovered that I like power yoga style workouts better than traditional yoga. When I did do the power yoga workout, I felt relaxed afterward but somewhat sore the next day in places that I don't normally feel sore. This gave me motivation to want to do yoga again. Too bad I didn't do another yoga workout for the rest of the month… Oops.
Goal #4: To make a dish that is new and different for our Thanksgiving meal.
I did this one! And you better believe I did it darn well. 😉 I only did it well with the help of Jessica from How Sweet It Is. She is simply amazing. Her recipes and photos make me drool on my keyboard every single day. I wanted to make homemade cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving, but I wanted it to have a little bit of a different twist. I immediately thought of Jessica, went to her blog, and found exactly what I was looking for. It was a Cranberry Sauce with Brown Sugar and Pecans. It sounded intriguing, but nothing too crazy. It was all I had dreamed about and more. Perfectly tart, sweet, and tangy – all in one.
[There's turkey hidden under that cranberry sauce somewhere…]
Goal #5: Increase my daily protein intake.
I have been consciously thinking about this one each day as I'm preparing and eating my meals. I've realized how difficult it is to get in enough protein for me! What can I say, I love my carbs I guess! This is still something that I'm working toward. I've been doing a lot better than I did before. I am including more dairy, beans, and lean meats into my diet to help increase my intake. I have always eaten dairy, beans, and lean meats, but not nearly enough. I think just being more conscious about it as I'm preparing my meals has helped me a ton.
I guess I didn't do too bad on my goals! I'm actually pretty impressed with myself considering I didn't check in to see how I was doing on them throughout the month. Most of these goals are goals that I want to carry on with me throughout the rest of my life, not necessarily just in November. That being said, I hope to continue to work at each of these. Wish me luck! 😉
- Are you a goal oriented person?
- Did you make goals for the month of November? If so, how did you do?

Is Breaking Bad Racist?
Is Breaking Bad racist? Malcolm Harris argues that the show's premise is an excuse to revive old white supremacist TV tropes.
Breaking Bad is a fish-out-of-water story: A disgruntled white chemistry teacher applies his scientific genius to the manufacture of methamphetamine, discovers a revolutionary new synthesis, and claws his way to the top of the Southwest drug trade.
Harris sees the whole premise of Breaking Bad as a Mighty Whitey trope, wherein the white lead immerses himself in a foreign culture and beats his hosts at their own game, thereby proving that white guys are the best--the best Mohicans, the best Samurais, the best aliens, the best breakdancers....
That's a premature accusation. It's only a Mighty Whitey if the white guy wins. If the white guy barges in where he doesn't belong and falls flat on his face, it's not a Mighty Whitey. Walt inserted himself into a unknown world, but he hasn't won yet; and judging by the flash-forward at the beginning of Season 5, in which he's a fugitive buying a machine gun in a Denny's bathroom, his odds don't look good.
Harris writes:
"Because of their (third-)world-beating products [...] Walter and Jesse, attract the interest of the big bad other in the American drug imaginary: Mexican cartels. The cartels (usually referred to in the singular, as if monolithic) are merciless and invincible, with money and power that seems limitless. But for all their government connections and firepower, the cartels have a Kryptonite: white people.
You see, the Mexicans need white college graduates because only they know the secret drug recipes. But these white craftsmen don't want to work for such swarthy operations, and so, despite being far outmatched in both resources and experience, they contrive plots to bring down the heretofore untouchable organizations."
Actually, in Breaking Bad--as in real life--Mexican drug cartels are already using college graduates to produce meth in industrial-scale superlabs. They're not waiting around for the white guys; they know how to cook meth scientifically. Walt made a discovery that promises to revolutionize their field and, like all consummate professionals, they want to know all about it.
Sure, Walt's a white guy, but giving him a pivotal discovery isn't a racist trope unless the non-white chemists are depicted as incompetent, and they're not. Science advances unevenly. Someone gets a brainsorm and everyone else races to catch up.
Walt's not your average high school chem teacher, either. We're told early on that he's one of the top chemical minds of his generation. His last big discovery led to the creation of a multi-billion-dollar company. Vince Gilligan isn't asking us to believe that a random white dude with a teaching credential could best the finest meth cooks in the Western Hemisphere.
According to Harris, the scene in Season 4 where Jesse cooks for the Juarez Cartel is "full of supremacist glee" because "there's no competing with the only white guy in the room."
That episode isn't about a white guy dazzling brown guys with sciene. Jesse has no scientific credentials whatsoever. He's just following Walt's recipe and, of course, the Cartel's real chemists see right through him. To everyone's surprise, Jesse executes Walt's recipe competently and the quality of the product speaks for itself.
Recall that Jesse goes to Mexico as a low-level functionary of Gus Fring, a black emigre from Chile, who built his fried chicken and meth empire on cutting-edge chemistry and high-tech management from day one. In this episode we learn that Gus rescued his future business partner, Max, from the slums of Santiago and sent him to the finest schools to earn advanced degrees in biochemistry and chemical engineering.
Pinkman wows the guys in the lab, but his performance turns out to have been a dog and pony show. Jesse's just a patsy for Gus, who arranged this demonstration as an excuse to get close enough to the leaders of the Juarez Cartel to assasinate them. The Mexicans are bested by Gus, not Jesse.
Harris has a theory that Breaking Bad makes the drug trade more palatable to a middle class audience by setting up Walt and Jesse as artisanal meth craftsmen:
As far as Breaking Bad is concerned, Walter's meth is bought and used in unadulterated form, whereas in any believable scenario distributors would dilute ("step on") the product for sale. Finally toward the end of the fifth season, Walter is forced to explain to a new organization that customers will pay more for his product than, say, one that was 85 percent pure. The other manufacturer seems to accept Walter's logic even though, as an ostensibly experienced dealer, he should know it doesn't make any sense.
In fact, Breaking Bad never says that Walt's meth hits the street unadulterated. The cops know it's purer than other products out there, but that doesn't mean it's even close to pure.
All that matters to the story is the purity of the finished product in the lab. It makes no difference how much Walt's drugs get diluted between the lab and the corner. When Walt measures the purity in the lab, he's figuring out how much of the expensive and tightly controlled precursor chemicals became saleable product and how much went to waste.
When Walt and Declan the Meth Lord of Phoenix face off in the desert in Season 5, Walt's math makes perfect sense to Declan, regardless of how much he plans to dilute the finished product. The purer Walt's product, the more Declan can dilute it.
Harris writes:
A Breaking Bad in which the street dealers were diluting the product would have had Walter and his partner Jesse Pinkman competing with every local operation, struggling to set up a larger distribution network without costly middlemen and, well, interacting with meth users a lot.
Wrong again. Once Walt and Jesse graduate from retail drug sales, it's irrelevant to them whether end product is diluted. Gus was happy to pay Walt and Jesse handsomely to convert Madrigal's chemicals into crystal blue. Declan's willing to distribute Walt's meth because Walt can make so much more drug out of a finite amount of methylamine that he still makes more money distributing Walt's product than he would by making his own.
Far from being a celebration of artisanal craftsmanship, Breaking Bad is about the triumph of industrialization and globalization. Gus Fring built his drug empire within a fast food chain. Numerous montages underscore how much functional overlap there is between a fast food chain and a drug empire. You need trucks and warehouses and loyal employees to deliver your product, whether it's chicken batter or meth--or both in the same barrel.
Fring partnered with Madrigal, a global conglomerate that deals in industrial chemicals and fast food restaurants. Madrigal's immaculate food lab echoes Gus's gleaming superlab. You can see how these folks can do business together. They all specialize in whisking highly profitable and addictive products around the globe with great efficiency and utter indifference to human suffering.
If Breaking Bad were trying tell us that quality trumped all, Walt and Jesse wouldn't have needed Gus in the first place. They only approached the chicken man because they had 38 pounds of first-rate artisanal product they couldn't sell on their own. Gus changed everything for them because he had the distribution network to bring their product to market.
Gus put up the capital for the super-lab. Walt's revolutionary P2P cook made business sense for Gus no matter how much the end product might be diluted. Walt's method yields more meth per unit of precursor chemicals. Less waste means more profit, just like in the restaurant business. If you make chicken nuggets, you want to steam-blast every usable gram of protein off the chicken carcass, even if you cut the pink slime with sawdust before serving.

BERLI (Mar. 1)
The Jews of Germany are widely celebrating Purim, German Jewish publications are devoting special pages to the holiday, including the C. V. Zeitung, organ of the Central Union of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith.
Tonight the Jewish Culture League Theatre is giving a special holiday performance. Jewish cafes are advertising special Purim progress in the street cars.
The Nazi government announced today that non-Jews will be permitted to attend performances of the Jewish Culture League Theatre, thus removing the anomaly of non-Jewish wives being refused permission to attend the theatre in company with their husbands.
When the Nazi government granted permission for the organization of the theatre, it insisted that non-Jews be refused admittance.

RIVERSIDE – Riverside County Superior Court officials today warned residents to beware of a scam targeting people who may ignored a jury summons.
According to Presiding Judge Mark Cope, people in recent weeks have been contacted by parties claiming to be with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department or the court, seeking payments to resolve warrants stemming from a failure to report for jury duty.
"Please be aware that these calls are fraudulent," Cope said. "They have no connection with the court or the sheriff's office."
He said the fraudsters typically ask for personal information and demand payment via a prepaid credit card or Green Dot MoneyPak card — or else their target risks being "held in contempt of court."
"In one instance, the caller asked to meet the individual at the courthouse in order to collect the purported fine," the judge said. "No court or sheriff's employee will ever contact a member of the public and ask for personal or financial information in lieu of attending jury duty, or to make up for failure to attend jury duty."
Anyone who receives such a request should immediately call their local police department, according to court officials.
The jury duty scam is one of several tried region-wide using similar methods.
Last month, the Corona Police Department reported scam artists posing as customer service representatives from the Corona Department of Water and Power, as well as Southern California Edison, attempting to pressure people into giving them money.
Callers insist that victims use the Green Dot MoneyPak cards, which can be purchased at retail outlets, such as CVS and Kmart, where buyers can load funds onto the cards using cash or transferring money from their bank or credit card company. Funds also can be added online via PayPal. The cards are not insured against fraud-related losses.

I am beyond thrilled to be included in the American Indian Cultural Festival held this week in The Dalles. I will be appearing alongside Sherman Alexie, Elizabeth Woody, the poet laureate of Oregon, and adult writer, Craig Leslie. We will be doing a poetry reading which is free and open to the public on Thursday April 13th at 4:00 in The Dalles Middle School Commons. There will be live music and a drum and dance group from the Quinault Nation. Each of the authors will read a new poem. If you happen to be in the area, I'd love to see you there.
Klindt's bookstore will host a book signing party at 7:00 that same evening. Klindt's has the distinction of being the oldest bookstore in the state. I am particularly grateful to the owners of the bookstore who purchased hundreds of copies of my book, Written in Stone to give away to the students I will visit the day following these events. I am also very grateful to Jim Tindale, Librarian extraordinaire who did the lion's share of the work in coordinating this festival which includes coordinating readings and author visits in 7 locations over the course of two days. He also spearheaded all the fundraising that made this celebration possible.

Win-Win ranks high on the list of overused buzzwords, but many of us have trouble understanding the counter intuitive notion that two sides can win when a product or service is bought and sold. Win-Win is not only obtainable, it is the ideal result. How then does it work?
Negotiation strategy always has a profound impact on business. There are four strategies; they are: Win-Win, Win-Lose, Lose–Win, and Lose-Lose.
Selecting the appropriate strategy depends upon how the parties value the Issue and the Relationship. A visual aid works well to explain this concept. The chart below is taken from my book, You're the Buyer – You Negotiate It to help to explain the four different strategies available, how they depend on Issue and Relationship, and when to use them.
Let's begin with Win-Lose in the lower left quadrant because this is the type most frequently practiced. Many folks who profess Win-Win actually believe that all that matters is that they win. Sports competition conditions us to this conclusion because most often, there must be a winner and a loser. Can you hear the growl of the primitive instinct, "And I'm not going to be the loser!"
Take Lose-Win next, in the upper right quadrant. This one is tough to grasp for many buyers when role playing as sellers. At purchasing seminars, I confront them with this situation.
Assume that your relationship with a good customer has grown chilly. Orders are down, communication is limited, yet you can not identify the problem. At a face to face settlement meeting, the chair you are offered across the buyer's desk is low and uncomfortable. If you sit, the sun will all but blind you. What should you do?
The most common responses from the buyers are "Remain standing", "Move the chair", and "Close the blinds". If the Relationship is valued more than the Issue, the graphic above suggests that you should select Lose-Win. If you were to sit in the low, blinding chair, the customer can exercise control. By planning to lose over the Issue, you may allow the buyer to be comfortable enough to express the problem. Then, you can rectify it and preserve the Relationship. You might even increase sales as a result of your 'owning' up to your problem.
Lose-Lose , in the lower right quadrant may not seem to make sense, but in rare situations, it could. For example, suppose that you are assigned the duty of buying photography services for the company June outing. Every bona fide photographer has been booked for months for weddings, reunions, and graduations. The only photographers you can get are two college physics students, whose long-term career plans involve photographing gamma wave radiation!
This is a clear-cut demand for the Lose-Lose strategies. Who cares about the Relationship? It has no future. And as for the Issue, do you really want high-resolution photography of employees who have overindulged all day, maybe kissing the wrong spouse? To be sure, the conditions under which Lose-Lose is appropriate will be few, but it is the advisable choice in those rare instances when Issue and Relationship have little value.
Now we come to Win-Win, in the top right quadrant. Here, we recognize that one shot deals do not apply. Each party has a vested interest in the Issue and the Relationship. Think of this strategy as the basis for a marriage, a long term committed Relationship where Issue tend to have mutual importance. When the Relationship and the Issue are both important, the only appropriate strategies of negotiation is Win-Win. An example is the current trend in business to pare back the number of suppliers. The motivating force is to reduce costs and raise profits for both buyer and seller. The long-term business Relationship matters as much as the Issue of profitability. Win-Win should be the ideal strategies, and in all cases involving major customers and suppliers, should be our only choice.

Synopsis: Samantha on the eve of her wedding is harassed by a man from her past. Soon dead bodies start turning up pushing her fragile mind to the brink of sanity. Who is this man and what does he want from her?
Schizo was directed by Pete Walker one of the UK's most prominent horror directors during the 1970's. The films of Pete Walker are known for their body counts and nudity. Schizo's plot at times feel more like a by the numbers exercise in horror filmmaking. The plot features many elements like a shower scene that is loosely similar to the one in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and flashback sequences and a séance scene that bear many striking similarities to Dario Argento's Deep Red.
Visually Schizo is a well crafted film that features a lot of style and interesting camera compositions. The films nearly two hour length does stretch the story out with a few mundane scenes which add very little. Despite its length and these scenes the end result is a very effect thriller that pays off with a twist ending out of left field.
The cast for Schizo are all very good with Stephanie Beacham in the secondary role of Beth the best friend. Actor Jack Watson as William Haskin does a solid job menacing the main character Samantha who is played by Lynne Frederick who does a superb job as the women in peril. Stanley Myers score for the film adds tension and menace to the darker moments of homicidal mayhem. Ultimately if you are interested in checking out classic British horror films then Schizo a solid example that will keep you on the edge on your seat until its shocking conclusion.
The DVD:
Redemption Films presents Schizo is an anamorphic widescreen that preserves the films original aspect ratio and framing. This title was previously released by Image Entertainment in 2001 and the transfer for this release looks similar to the previous release. There is mild print damage, colors look nicely saturated and details are strong outside a few darker scenes with look a tad too dark.
Only one audio option is included a Dolby Digital mono mix in English. The audio is limited at times especially during moments where music. There audio sounds clean and the dialog is easy enough to follow.
Extra wise besides the usual Redemption promo's/extra content the only extras related to the main feature Schizo are a stills gallery and a Pete Walker filmography. Redemption Films Schizo while not definitive is still a welcome release to a film that has long been unavailable at an affordable price.

Framingham pharmacy identified as possible source of fungal meningitis outbreak blamed for 4 deaths
By Kay Lazar and Carolyn Y. Johnson, Globe Staff
A Framingham compounding pharmacy has been identified by state and federal health officials as the source of a medication being investigated as a possible cause of an unusual fungal meningitis outbreak that has sickened 26 patients in five states who received steroid injections. Four of the patients have died.
The pharmacy, New England Compounding Center, recalled three lots of methylprednisolone on Sept. 26, according to the US Food and Drug Administration.
Eighteen of the meningitis cases have been reported in Tennessee, and cases also have been reported in Virginia, Maryland, Florida, North Carolina. A Nashville outpatient neurosurgery clinic closed last month after patients got sick after receiving steroid injections in their backs for pain.

I was introduced to Karen through a friend in 2013. I knew absolutely nothing about setting up a website – or the jargon that is used in web design. Words like browser, domain, HTML, plug-in, and URL were like a foreign language to me.
From our very first meeting, Karen listened, and asked the right questions so that she could get a 'feel' as to what I wanted my website to present to the outside world – what did I want to do with my website, what words describe the overall look that I wanted to achieve, who is my target market and so on. She offered me many suggestions and ideas over the months that we worked on the site together. We had to both be 'on the same page' so to speak.
I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome. Karen has produced a website that I love. And it is always evolving. As my business grows and evolves, my website needs to reflect this. Karen is very supportive and understanding in teaching me new technological skills so that I can keep adding new and inspiring information to my site.
Thank you Karen for the amazing job that you have done, and that you continue to do. You are one very creative, dynamic lady and I was very blessed the day that I met you.
Much love, Catherine Bales.Catherine Bales

It definitely appears to have a digestive tract and the lighter colored areas within might be ingested sand grains that were being passed through.

USA Today best-selling Author Ava Miles of the number-one national best seller Nora Roberts Land presents a fun, emotional, heartwarming romance of finding happily ever after...in a dog park.
Jane Wilcox has a secret. She's been the incognito poker scout to a rock star poker player dressed as a smoking hot poker babe. Now that role is over, and she's living in small town Dare Valley, working as a dog walker - or so everyone thinks. Without her Jimmy Choo heels and Prada gowns, she's trying to find her new sexy Inner Swan and a fairytale romance, but she's afraid she might have turned back into "Plain Jane" until she meets Matt Hale in the dog park.
The sexy lawyer has a rambunctious dog that needs her Dog Whisperer skills, and slowly they move from friends to lovers. Matt is one of the good guys, a hero, totally boy-next-door material. He's returned to his hometown after experiencing a tragedy. He was unable to find justice for the woman in his last legal case, and now she's passed away and given him her dog. He's vowed to give Henry a good home and right the wrongs in the system, so he's running for mayor of Dare Valley.
Jane and Matt fall in love during sunset walks in the dog park, but soon Jane's secret past comes back to haunt her and harms Matt's bid for mayor. Can Jane and Matt's love survive the controversy?

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
loved it. sorry that it was over. wanted more closure to the story. my favorite part is the story was mat followed her home and didn't give up on her after she found out he was running for mayor.
The book, absolutely. I love the way I can sink into an Ava Miles book.
The audiobook, No. The voice actress does the same voice for every female or male character, save one, which is done badly. Also, her enunciation is atrocious.
I loved the book. Vivid detail that helps you feel like you are watching what is unfolding as if you were there, without making it excruciatingly detailed. Well rounded, amazing characters.
Never again.
Possibly. It would depend on casting, and direction. A miscast can ruin the whole thing, and a poor director can make a good actor fail abysmally. See: Quantum of Solace; Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights; Proof of Life; the Star Wars prequels; Etc.
No, thank you.
"Great story."
Fun to follow along thru the family and friends. Some fun, some funny times. Some a bit tragicjc, sad .
"Much Ado About Nothing"
While I enjoyed some parts of The Park of Sunset Dreams (mostly the dogs), I thought the plot was stupid and overly melodramatic.
Lawyer Matt wanted to be the mayor, which was portrayed like a national campaign rather a small town election, in which most residents care more about property taxes, good education and crime prevention than the candidate's love life.
Jane, dog wrangler and former poker babe, was educated at Harvard but stupid enough to think that any man who wanted to be a politician would be as coldly ambitious as her asshole father. And who really cares if Jane used to dress provocatively at poker tournaments?
Since I couldn't connect with Jane and Matt, my mind often wondered while listening. I thought that Matt's grandfather and his elderly friends were more entertaining than all the romantic drama.

Thomas Friedman published The World is Flat more than a decade ago.
The disadvantage of reading an 11-year-old book about globalization moving at a reeling pace is that you have to ask yourself a lot of questions. If the author claimed then that the world was changing quickly, how many of his observations remain true?
The advantage, though, is that you can see just how right he was. Although Friedman wrote this before Barack Obama ran for president, before ISIS, before candidate Trump and #nevertrump, before the housing crisis and the Great Recession, The World is Flat rings largely true and holds up fairly well. Several of Friedman's predictions have proven incredibly accurate. Therefore, I think we can trust some of his prescriptions for life in a global society.
And, unfortunately, I think we can trust some of his warnings.
What does a flat world mean?
Friedman was doing a story about outsourcing in India when he became overwhelmed with the ease of collaboration across political boundaries and vast oceans. Someone told him, "the playing field has been leveled." That's what he means when he says that the world is flat; we have a level playing field. Due to free trade, technology, and competition, you and I cannot rely on geography or nationality for advantage in the global marketplace.
Individual competition, individual destiny
The world flattened in three stages, Friedman argues. The first caused countries to compete and collaborate. The second gave rise to multinational corporations that competed and collaborated. The third concerns individuals. According to Friedman, we must ask, "Where do I fit into the global competition and opportunities of the day, and how can I, on my own, collaborate with others globally?"
He quotes a memo that the head of Reuters America shared with staff to explain the company's decision to outsource some financial journalism functions. Economic change had been a fact of life for generations, he said. "Every person, just as every corporation, must tend to his or her own economic destiny."
Trust is more important
In some ways, the flat world has increased trust. Friedman cites the example of eBay and PayPal, which have allowed people to do business together and trust each other. They also have leveled the playing field for many people. You don't know the race, economic standing, religion, or accent of the person you are dealing with. But you do know their eBay feedback rating, and you know they have a product you want.
A recent Freakonomics podcast confirmed much of what Friedman has to say about the importance of trust and how technology can increase that trust. It notes that hitchhiking has declined due to a decrease in trust. "And yet now, Uber is a 60-some billion-dollar company that's basically all about using technology to lure a complete stranger into your car." (Note: Uber uses a rating system similar to eBay. Perhaps part of technology's power to increase trust is its ability to showcase the experience that other complete strangers have had with a complete stranger.)
The importance of trust make trust a target, too. According to Friedman, trust is the actual Target of terrorism. Acts of violence can cause us to lose trust. This could prompt us to withdraw from the economic transactions and cross-cultural collaboration that flattens the world and raises the standard of living here and abroad.
The importance of hope
Another theme that struck me was the power of hope. According to Friedman, hope is what defines the middle class, regardless of a person's income level. "Middle class is another way of describing people who believe that they have a pathway out of poverty."
Hope inspires people to pursue constructive opportunity. A lack of hope, unfortunately, may inspire the opposite.
Friedman points out that the world sees little to no terrorism from Muslims from India, despite India having the world's second-largest Islamic population. The reason has a lot to do with the opportunities afforded by living within a somewhat-level democratic playing field. He quotes an Indian Muslim father: "When a Muslim grows up in India and he sees a man living in a big mansion high on a hill, he says, 'Father, one day, I will be that man.' When a Muslim grows up in Pakistan and sees a man living in a big mansion high on a hill, he says, 'Father, one day I will kill that man.'"
Muslims in India can plan futures of success. Muslims in countries where they are mired in poverty by authoritarian, oil-rich regimes can plan futures of poverty alone. This lack of hope may lead some of them to attack trust and hope around the world.
Continuing the flattening of the world and raising the worldwide standard of living involves giving people hope for a better future.
Global supply chains beat swords into plowshares
One of the most revealing chapters describes how globalization increases our interest in peace. Because Dell and other companies foster a a global, just-in-time supply chain, people obtain a higher standard of living and lose interest in war. Also, people who know an unnecessary war would cause them to lose their jobs are less likely to support a government that pursues unnecessary war.
Although Friedman didn't use the phrase, this chapter made me recall the Old Testament prophecy, "They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks." Plowshares and pruning hooks are tools of economic production. They provide food. They raise our standard of living. Perhaps this prophecy means that nations will cease war and use their resources instead to work together, raising the standard of living around the world.
One can hope for that.
Making America Great Again…Maybe?
One of the most salient paragraphs comes in a chapter about "The Great Sorting Out." Friedman argues that globalization is shaking up political alliances and other facets of life. He cites the example of pro-labor Democrats in Indiana awarding a contract to a firm in India in order to save $8 million, only to have the deal squashed by pro-free-trade Republicans. "Sort that out."
But then he offers this prediction:
"Social conservatives from the right wing of the Republican party, who do not like globalization or closer integration with the world because it brings too many foreigners and foreign cultural mores inot America, might align themselves with unions from the left wing of the Democratic Party, who don't like globalization for the way it facilitates the outsourcing and offshoring of jobs."
This is not what happened in the 2016 election, but it eerily foreshadows what did happen. Although Trump offended many social conservatives and did not attract unions, he did center much of his rhetoric on the idea that America is weaker and in danger because of foreign ideas and free trade. Thus traditional Republicans and Democrats alike were bewildered as he drew support from a vast spectrum of the public.
Friedman gave this movement a name in 2005: "They might be called the Wall Party."
Now, about making America great again.
Friedman asks, "Does your society have more memories than dreams or more dreams than memories?" Then he quotes Michael Hammer: "One thing that tells me a company is in trouble is when they tell me how good they were in the past."
"In societies that have more memories than dreams, too many people are spending too many days looking backward. They see dignity, affirmation, and self-worth not by mining the present but by chewing on the past. … Such societies focus all their imagination on making that imagined past even more beautiful than it ever was."
The whole point of "The World is Flat" is that the world has changed, and we must change to keep up. He is more #nevertrump than I was or am, but Friedman has a point. We cannot bring back the past, not without eroding many gains in the standard of living around the world. We can continue pining for the past, or we can pursue the future with investments in education, innovation, and preparing ourselves for the demands of the modern world.

Rams To Up Barker Offer?
Nigel Clough wants to sign more players and Clough has also hinted that Derby will increase the offer for Shaun Barker but just how much will we up this by?
We've already seen offers of around £500,000 rejected for the 26-year-old and Blackpool say they're not looking to sell Barker but with him entering the final year of his contract unless he signs a new one they'll be getting nothing next summer, or a minimal amount in January.
A Vital Derby poll saw 75% vote unanimously against increasing an offer to as much as £1m, with Blackpool believed to be commanding as much as this, but an offer of £700,000 might do the trick. The question is just how much is too much for Barker? If £700,000 is a fair price, and within our budget, then that's something that I'd expect us to do as we do need another defender but does he fit the bill?
Crewe's 21-year-old John Brayford is still believed to be an option and could come cheaper, as well as being younger with greater potential. Barker has the advantage of plenty of Championship experience though.

These tasks will be carried out in high security and inside the prison itself. Whereas Sanjay's desire to carry out heavy duty work was denied by jail officials.

Yes, definately, seen that often too, Classes are blueprints in many OO languages, then an object is an instance of it, so to have a language which is an instance of two classes is confusing for many. Likewise multiple inheritance, and another one I hadn't noticed till somebody mentioned on sem-web a few weeks (months?) ago -> they thought the properties related to a class where the properties which were on every instance of that class (as in oo) and this confused them greatly. > This is part of why I like presenting SPARQL result sets to the json > folks.

Great fun watching them then create a table in an rdbms to save the results in to query later :p But yes, SPARQL is like a big old shortcut for many that saves a lot of confusion and wondering.
