Who's your favorite team? It's a question you're likely to have heard greet you at an event, sports bar, or in general conversation at least once. But what is it the person really wants to know? They want to know who you are, understand where you're coming from, and ultimately, if you will get along. When it comes to sports, though, these questions often go unasked because we're drenched in head-to-toe gear such as hats, caps, bands, stickers, flags, cups, and other external signfiers of instant community. But what happens when Data Science and Machine Learning enter the mix? Why, you up your game of course. Die hard fans know their stats and make it a part of conversation to discuss what they would do with a player in regard to their plays, drafts, and even endorsements. Knowing stats is a competition in and of itself. Throw in the billion viewers tuned in to watch the Summer Olympics, the Super Bowl, Wimbledon, and the World Cup, and the captive audience for endorsements and advertising is out of this world. How Data Science and Machine Learning Enhance Fan Engagement Bonding with one another over stats and with advances in Big Data technology, fans and advertisers alike can create epic, interactive experiences. From Data tracking of angles to perfect the game, to knowing the best-selling food in the stands, everything is tracked and optimized for the euphoric experiences we recount into old age. Add in the cutting-edge technologies of Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, and Predictive Analytics, and the Data gleaned becomes invaluable to strategists, sponsors, and fans. These analytics can help to leverage and deepen the experience while sharing insights on possible improvements. Both of these technological advances are set to change the viewers experience. Check out this article for a deeper dive as coaches explain the importance of analyzing Data. Stats and Data have been part of the sports experience since Billy Beane brought economics to baseball, but what does that have to do with sports marketing and branding? Borrowing Ideas from the Pros… of Branding and Marketing There's no reason to reinvent the wheel. Use what the pros know to grow and scale your sports advertising. Get Local, and Get People Talking & Acting. Promote your brand locally around both national AND local events. Use the opportunity to get people talking. What do people want? What makes 'em tick? What makes 'em sick? What do they love about your brand and why would they tell their friends? You get the idea. Perfect for every endeavor from grass roots on up.Cross Channels. Get social. Invest in YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and so on. Use sweepstakes and giveaways, contests and surveys, to get people talking about you. Drive people to your site via an app or campaign which you know resonates with your die-hard fans. Use streaming, live, and exclusivity to ratchet interest.Think Long-Term. To truly see your numbers and know if what you're doing is working takes time. This is a long game to master as you build awareness, set your objectives, and determine what parameters to set to realize success. These are just a few brand marketing ideas to scale from sports advertising. Now, it's time to get creative. Use your giveaways as an opportunity to interact with fans and find out what they want. Well, other than their favorite team to win, of course. You Can Only Get Out What You Put In The value of Data & Analytics in modern sports is more than stats. Data Science and Machine Learning allow fans to forge deeper and more meaningful relationships with their favorite sports teams. These insights lead toward a stronger appreciation of what's happening in the industry and with their fan favorites. Want to get in on the game? Degrees abound in the realm of sports analytics from Syracuse to Oregon University and nearly every state in between. Check this out to see where this industry can take you. For those in the Northwest, Oregon has become almost another Silicon Valley. But don't let its rural areas fool you. They've got an ace in the hole from the East and is already under the moniker Oregon rural tech hub. Check out our current vacancies for additional opportunities.

The days of generically using Data in Marketing are on the decline as information gathering becomes more laser focused. Once the domain of third-party sites looking to build partnerships and boost campaign efforts, Data Management Platforms (DMPs) are making way for Customer Data Platforms (CDPs). Under the weight of data breaches, GDPR, and other security issues, technologies that center around consent are helping build consumers into campaign strategies. This is a reversal from older strategies to build data from historic data profiles at channel level. Data is Data, So What's the Difference? In a nutshell, DMPs act as "equalizers" – all companies have access to predefined parameters of data. CDPs are "differentiators" – each customer is unique with information driven from first-party historical and contextual data, determined along the customer's purchase journey. Tailored customer data has now gone beyond the scope of Data Management Platforms and offers marketing insights nearly unheard of just a few years ago. Now, we can understand our customers not only from their historical, factual, and contextual data within parameters we've created, but we can gain an outside perspective as well. Five Reasons CDPs are on the Rise Single, Unified StorageThey store ALL data (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) such as names, addresses, emails, etc. as well as cookie IDs and tags. This storage capacity makes it easy to aggregate everything into one place and integrate with advertising systems.They capture data at a granular level. This includes considering long-term storage and multiple storage formats without predefined parameters focused only on advertising – what we want to sell you, not what do you want to buy?They aren't restricted to stages of the customer journey, but can pick up data anywhere along the customer lifecycle. This information can be used for look-alike modeling or can be retargeted for more effective advertising and marketing efforts.They create a holistic overview of customer behaviors opening up new opportunities for personalization. Customer First Brand Targeting Today's advertising and marketing strategies are being re-evaluated to prioritize the customer experience. Once customer data had to fit into predefined boxes of information, now our data collection efforts are as unique as every person who visits your website, clicks a call-to-action, or visits a brick-and-mortar store. In a Nutshell… This is a crucial time in the industry and any door which will help us resolve issues and keep the customer front and center will strengthen our efforts. However, as we go deeper into what the customer likes and why we must keep our customer's privacy safe whilst retaining an advantage over our competitors. DMPs, once the singular domain of marketers, was used to package and repackage data to better understand customers and improve ad targeting. CDPs, on the other hand, focus on every aspect, every angle of marketing to make advertising more customer-centric and laser-focused. Ultimately, as CDPs are all inclusive, they have absorbed Data Management Platforms into their systems, helping move the industry another step forward. If you're interested in Data & Analytics, consumer behavior, and are actively seeking an opportunity to dig in your heels and get set up for a strong career path, we may have a role for you.

Tartufi, 'Underwater' – Free MP3 Download
This month, San Francisco pop experimentalists Tartufi release their first album since expanding from a duo to a trio with the addition of bassist Ben Thorne. The group's ever-evolving sound is endearing, and their setup is enviable: As an outsider, it appears their mission is simply to be creative. They don't seem to prefer a specific style of music, nor do they mind if they're a duo, trio or larger unit. They simply persevere as a creative force, adding beauty to the world and stimulating the arts community in San Fran (the band even founded a rock 'n' roll school called Rock Band Land for children aged 4 through 7) as they please.
The beautiful loungy pop tune 'Underwater,' today's free MP3, comes from their first album since welcoming Thorne (Red Low Land, Minot) into the fold. Lynne Angel, who founded Tartufi 13 years ago, told Diffuser.fm about how the bassist's arrival influenced the song.
"'Underwater' was the first song we wrote as a trio after being a duo for six years," she says. "Needless to say, Brian [Gorman] and I were pretty protective of our sound after taking so long to establish that a duo could, in fact, take up more room onstage than a 12-peice and also make your ears bleed through a combination of high volume and steady vibration. Success. Then, we began to realize that there might be more to life than acquiring rad gear and passing out earplugs before every show. I'm not sure when the shift occurred, but I am thinking sometime in 2010. It went from me playing the music to the music playing me. I was overly entranced with [pedal] stepping patterns and what was next. I was playing in the future and not in the now."
"'Underwater' was us dipping our toes in the river of collective sound," Thorne adds. "It was us relearning how to write, play and swim in our combined creativity. It was us depending less on loop stations and more on each other to fill in the sound. 'Underwater' defined the direction the album, and the band, would take. It was then, and remains to be, our jumping-off point."

|Buddhism is Banned under Islamic Law
When you are uncertain of the validity of your faith, especially if you have a deep-down lurking suspicion that it's all a confidence trick, unbelief anywhere is a form of aggression. The mere fact that people exist who don't believe in your dogmas further undermines your belief-system, and so is an intolerable affront.
The only defense against such growing doubts in your own mind, is to eliminate infidels in the external world.
From Jihadwatch
"A Sri Lankan youth employed as a domestic aid has been arrested in Saudi Arabia for praying to a statue of Lord Buddha, which is considered an offence according to Islamic Sharia law. According to the Bodu Bala Sena, the youth bearing passport no. 2353715 identified as Premanath Pereralage Thungasiri has been arrested by Umulmahami Police, which is a grave situation. While the youth is a Buddhist, the charge levelled against him is that he paid obeisance to the Buddha at the house where he was employed.
The Bodu Bala Sena organisation further said those employed in Muslim-majority countries are prevented from practicing their religious faiths, and if found to do so are punished severely. Recently a Sri Lankan woman was arrested for gazing at a child at a shopping complex, where she was accused of witchcraft, on the grounds that she had a black cord around her wrist.
On prior occasions too many Sri Lankan female domestic workers were forced to embrace Islam, and wear the traditional attire, while so far four Sri Lankan youths have been beheaded in that country. (Source: Ceylon Today)
|Buddhists face ritual Islamic Beheading
Saudi Arabia is an Islamic theocratic monarchy where the religion of Islam is the official religion. Non-Islamic proselytism and conversions are illegal and conversion by Muslims to another religion (apostasy) carries the death penalty. Under Saudia Arabia Sharia Islamic law, children of Saudi parents are considered Muslim, regardless of the country or the religious tradition in which they may have been raised."
|More Islamic Beheading
Islam will dominate!
Makes you wonder. Are Western Buddhists too tolerant?

Nov. 15, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Juniors Jen Chao and Nicole O'Keeffe and freshman Amy Jacobi were each a part of four MIT victories on Wednesday night, as the women's swimming and diving team opened its dual meet schedule with a 179-118 victory over New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) foe, Wellesley College. The meet was hosted by MIT in Zesiger Pool.
The Engineers improved to 1-0 both overall and in the NEWMAC with the triumph, while the Blue fell to 1-1 overall and 0-1 in the conference.
Chao, O'Keeffe and Jacobi teamed up with junior Kristen Felch to earn the fastest time in the evening's first event, the 200-yard medley relay, to get the hosts off to a favorable start. The group touched the wall at 1:55.18 to outpace Wellesley's top finishers by just over one second.
Chao followed up with wins in both the 100-yard (1:04.67) and 200-yard (2:19.45) backstroke events before clocking in at 1:02.72 in the 100-yard butterfly to produce her fourth first-place finish of the night.
O'Keeffe would go on to earn decisive victories in the 1000-yard freestyle (10:48.76), 500-yard freestyle (5:17.31) and 400-yard individual medley (4:49.59), while Jacobi - competing in her first intercollegiate dual meet - grabbed individual wins in the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle events before helping Tech to the top time in the 200-yard freestyle relay along with Ashley Pinchinat, Sarah King and Sasha Brophy. However, because the Engineers had already wrapped up the victory heading into the relay, the event officially served as an exhibition.
Brophy grabbed an individual victory of her own, beating out the competition in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:59.09.
Senior diver Doria Holbrook - last year's three-meter diving National Champion and one-meter runner-up - took home the top scores in both events, while also making NCAA cuts in each. The Yakima, Wash., native's 295.50 in the one-meter bested Wellesley's Kate Sorenson by over 60 points, while her 285.53 in the three-meter was over 30 points higher than Sorenson's second-place score.
Jenny Wu was the Blue's top performer, clocking in with the fastest times in the 100-yard (1:10.49) and 200-yard (2:30.52) breaststroke events.
MIT will return to the pool on Saturday, Nov. 17, when it will travel to Brunswick, Maine to battle with host Bowdoin College and NEWMAC opponent Babson College at 1:00 p.m. Wellesley will be back in action on Saturday, as well, when it will travel to Simmons College at a time that is yet to be determined.

According to SamFirmware, Samsung Electronics now offers a new firmware update to Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread for all Samsung Infuse 4G devices. The announcement was made via their Twitter account a couple of hours ago.
The update is rolling out right now, you can try to plug-in your Infuse 4G into your USB cable and connect it to PC/laptop and check from KIES software for updates. If you get prompted to update than the firmware is available please get back to us with more information once you successfully finish the update.
Update: After several complains of KIES incompatibility with the phone we decided to update this article and give you an alternative until SamFirmware clears this up to why they tweeted that news. So here are the 2.3.5 stock ROM for AT&T (you need to know how to flash ROMs to update to this version).
SamFirmware replied to us and informed me that the ROM's are directly from KIES servers, still doesn't solve AT&T users problems (my advice is do it manually flash the rom below with Odin if you know how if not contact a local store and ask for the update for your Infuse 4G device).
Download the rom here: I997UCKI4
Model = I997
Provider = AT&T
I = September
4 = Version

skit, use this here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/xz1k3912y71xbgp/AA285_non_installer.zip/file
how about deleting it all together and install 2.8.5 from scratch?
i have the patch, unzipped it and extract but keep starting up 2.8.4. Anyone have some tips?
I cant update 2.8.4 to 2.8.5 ?
DUCK NETFLIX!!!! lol u go now and duck wife!!!!!!!!!! hahhaaaa

i hated it that they deployed proving grounds
so i hope this is the most recent version
lol thanks playtronics, playing it since 2004..
Thanks I appreciate it.
If you need anything let me know.
Most AA built ships could totally ignore the CV's though. The problem to me was not the CV itself but the constant spotting. When you're a DD main trying to rush caps its impossible. And the last few games there were 3 on each side. Server patch was supposed to fix this to only have one but I think it broken even further lol
oh wow now they they nerf the Carriers, after I deleted the game lol, thanks for the info,yeah I might pick up that server for some other hobby I was thinking I might play with setting up AA server, I have many server but they were always managed server from hosting companies, this would be the first attempt at actually runing one, just for fool around really. Cya arround.
btw, Carriers have a delay at start now, and other changes too so you might be able to play more freely now
Yes, I had it run on multiple versions of Ubuntu, including that one. You might struggle a bit with the x32 missing libs but if you do let me know. Yes, Finally Ill be able to test how the Montana does in ranked. Always took Shimakaze
Thanks CPD, Do you know if it will run on the Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS OS? On another note you still playing World of Warships?
AA servers dont require much. 255mb ram at most and any old centrino can run no problem. The connection on the other hand is just okay.
You can only run 1000 of them mate
Tech question for all you AA admin gurus, does anyone know if you can run AA server on the following specs? Dell PowerEdge Server R710 2x Xeon E5620 Processors, 2.4GHz, Quad Core (total 16 threads) 48GB RAM, Connection 300mbps down, 30mbps up, on the 64-bit Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS OS?
But don't you worry Vieux we fight on the servers and in the shoutbox as much as we did in the heydays of AA so you will feel right at home, drama is always guaranteed, so welcome back lol
Hi Vieux, yes the game is still being played, peak time depends on the time zones of course see the base community of players is rather small.
hab ik :D

Queen Noor of Jordan will visit UC Irvine on May 2 as the featured speaker of the fifth installment of the Living Peace Series, the university announced Tuesday.
Moderated by Dalai Lama scholar Armaan Ahmed Rowther, the discussion titled, "Leap of Faith: A Conversation with Queen Noor," will focus on global conflict prevention, according to a news release.
The event is co-sponsored by the university and the Center for Living Peace, Orange County. It will be held at 7 p.m. in the UCI Student Center's Pacific Ballroom.
"In what we fear, in what we seek, in what we need and in what we love, we are all essentially on the same path," Queen Noor said in a prepared statement. "That is the path to peace, security and justice, and I have great hope that, for the sake of our children, we can stay true to that path. I look forward to sharing this message at UCI, which has shown through its partnership with the Center for Living Peace that it shares these values."
Tickets are free for UCI students and $8 for the public, UCI faculty and staff.
Past speakers in the series have included the Dalai Lama, Charlize Theron, Sir Richard Branson, and filmmakers behind the PBS SoCal documentary "Women, War & Peace."

In Georgia, cultural values and social mores remain deeply traditional, tending to be strongly influenced by religion. In this socially conservative environment, women and minorities are easily marginalized. One would not expect, then, a female clergy member of a minority religion to have much influence on the nation's conversation about human rights. But that is exactly what Embassy Tbilisi's nominee for the 2014 Secretary's International Women of Courage Award has achieved. Despite being a woman working in a predominately male religious field, and a religious minority operating in a society dominated by one faith, Bishop Rusudan Gotsiridze of the Evangelical Baptist Church of Georgia bravely confronts and challenges accepted cultural practices by advocating for gender equality and for the equal protection of all of Georgia's minorities, including religious and sexual minorities.
As a woman holding a position of leadership in a church, Bishop Gotsiridze occupies a unique and respected role, challenging the perception of the role of women in society. In Georgia, women continue to lag behind men in terms of social and economic equality and violence against women remains a problem. Bishop Gotsiridze contributes frequently to gender equality, anti-gender-based violence, and other women's initiatives. In addition, she serves as a gender consultant for Mercy Corps in Georgia, is an expert on gender and religious minority issues for the International Center on Conflict and Negotiation, and was the coordinator of a United Nations Population Fund project to combat gender-based violence in Georgia.
Despite being a representative of a religious minority, she skillfully acts as a trusted mediator between religious groups. Minorities, and in particular religious minorities, have been historically marginalized. With her church, Bishop Gotsiridze has spearheaded a number of efforts to promote tolerance and equality in Georgia, including the establishment of interfaith dialogues that have successfully worked to protect the freedom of religious expression in Georgia, especially for the Muslim minority. Furthermore, she serves as an elected member of the Public Defender's Office's religious council, an interfaith body charged with advising the Public Defender on religious issues. Her willingness to advocate on behalf of issues not directly related to her, and yet still find a way to engage in meaningful dialogue with the religious community and the Georgian government, demonstrates why Bishop Gotsiridze has become an influential advocate, and is why she is a winner of the 2014 Secretary's International Women of Courage Award.

I love books. My favourite ones are the ones where multiple plots simmer for a while so you hardly even notice, then suddenly converge in an explosive climatic finish that totally blows your mind! And I love the ones that give you an insight into someone's life from a totally different background from you – that you would probably never meet in real life: the ones that teach you about the way people can be, the way cultures and societies differ, challenge the way you think about yourself and others – books that open your mind basically.
I would love to be able to write a book and have so much respect for people that do – I genuinely think a good book, read at the right time can change your life.
Most of my book reading at the moment is done on the bus/tube/train – you can always tell a good book when you miss your stop!

James Reves, Peoples Insurance, March 03, 2014
I went to Norris training center originally for my property and casualty insurance test and passed with a high score. When it came time to take my life only test, for some odd reason I thought I could go the cheap route with just an online program I found. It was a reputable program, but I was completely and utterly lost! There was no way I was going to pass that test! Finally I made the right choice to go with Norris Training center once more. It was a day and night difference! I went into test day completely and utterly confident and passed with flying colors! Thanks to my instructor at Norris I can now begin the next step of my insurance career!
Tyler Miller, March 25, 2014
I would like to thank you for your instructions and class I took in Wichita Monday and Tuesday. I took the Life, Accident, and Health test on Friday and passed with a score of 80%. I believe if it wasn't for you and the class I would not have passed today. I look forward to taking future classes for P and C and may even add Crop too. I definitely want to take a Real Estate class also so please let me know when you decide to offer one.
Richard Osborn, January 30, 2017
I have great news, because of your combined help I PASSED!!! I got an 80% with 22 minutes to go. I did feel really good going in. I felt like I knew the material. The first time I took the test I only failed by 7 questions. So I knew I just needed more time and more review of the material.
Thank you both for all your help. Keep up the good work!
Angela L., American Family Insurance, January 30, 2017
I want to give a shout out to Andrew Kemper who was the instructor for the Life, Accident and Health class I took on 1/26 and 27. I went into the class with no background in insurance and, frankly, very little desire to learn it. I was partly concerned that I just wouldn't be able to wrap my head around it as I had never really understood certain things about it before. BUT, Andrews high energy and passion for helping us was contagious and I actually became not only interested but excited about it! He broke everything down and made it easy to understand, had patience with our questions and clearly genuinely cared. I took my test the morning of the 28th and I attribute my score (85%) to him in large part. As far as I'm concerned no one should attempt to take these tests without first taking a Norris Training Systems 'cram school' and I recommend taking one Andrew is teaching (no offense to any other teachers but I know his style worked very well for me)...I have Property and Casualty coming up next week and feel so much more confident now - thanks!!
Katie Mikesell, Farm Bureau, February 02, 2017
Very informative course with excellent study tools and support provided to you.
Darla Plante, State Farm, December 14, 2017
When I first took this job I was feeling overwhelmed and I wasn't sure I would be able to learn everything I needed to know quick enough. I had absolutely no insurance knowledge. This course has helped me tremendously in understanding the insurance concepts. Thank you!
Abby Gauna, LSP at Allstate, February 01, 2018
Thank you for the self study and preparation for the exam. I feel like I've a step ahead just by working on this.

Mental health experts say a new tougher New York state gun control law might interfere with treatment of potentially dangerous people and even discourage them from seeking help.
The law would require therapists, doctors, nurses and social workers to tell government authorities if they believe a patient is likely to harm himself or others. That could lead to revoking the patient's gun permit and seizing any guns. (source)
New laws tend to have unintended consequences worse than the conditions or situations they are intended to remedy. The hysteria over the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre has such strange bedfellows as the NRA and some of the most liberal Democrats calling for psychological or psychiatric evaluations of potential gun owners.
Question: Does the state have enough of an interest to require a breach of the privacy normally holding between a patient and his clinician making the state an invisible presence in the conference room?
Question: Might more mayhem be prevented by letting clinicians do their job rather than imposing requirements on them.?
Question: Might imposing a reporting requirement on clinicians expose them to homicidal danger once the client realizes that his counselor has breached the shell of confidentiality holding between them?
Question: Given the ambiguities holding between what clients talk about and what they might actually do might a reporting requirement expose clinicians to needless criminal and civil sanctions if their best guess turns out to be wrong and a client they thought safe did something horrendous? The point is, it's a lot easier to judge how dangerous a patient was in retrospect and hold a clinician responsible.

My hunch is you don't live in NY
I'm planning on moving there, that's why I NEED the FN P90...LOL
Actually I have been to NY,NY once in my life, I filled the gas tank and left.
Wouldn't you say, however, that most occasions when you'd need your pistol for self defense, it won't be at target practice distance? You'll probably be within 'barn door" distance.
I wouldn't say anything of the kind, I'm not prescient.
I also don't have a clue what "barn door" distance is?
A pistol (mine or anyone's) is a option in a self-defense situation, so is running away if conditions allow.
As far as handguns and the relationship to distance goes there is a "Goldilocks Zone" for each person. At too great a distance a handgun is inaccurate, at too close a distance a handgun is inefficient and you will need some hand-hand fighting skill.
It's also true that a gun can be drawn and the attacker simply runs away--at which point it's actually illegal to shoot.
The overwhelming majority of crimes stopped by a firearm are stopped without a shot being fired.
I just discovered a county in England with an astronomical murder rate far in excess of any county in America. It's called Midsomer.
Hahaha - yes, every week there's one!
At LEAST one. I watched an episode on Netflix last night in which there were three murders.
You put your left leg in, you put your left leg out...
Ten means ten. Incongruously one may refuse to acknowledge that ten means ten, or assert that ten means nine. But these incongruous applications do not change the determination that ten means ten.
Likewise for the meaning of wrong. It's incongruous to assert that something that meets the criteria for the meaning of wrong is not wrong. The application itself meets the criteria for being wrong.
"Ten" means one thing when applied to cardinal numbers and something else when applied to currency. Beyond that there was a group of painters who exhibited under the name Ten. It could be a code such as "If you have a winning hand, say something with the word 'ten' in it." It's all in how you apply it.
That kind of destroys the second paragraph.
Now, where is my reply to the rest of what you wrote? You have a tendency, it seems, to wear the opponent out with an avalanche of argument and if they don't respond you can declare victory. You're not the first on TA to use this tactic of forcing the opponent to spend a huge amount of time responding.
I won't play that game.
Break your post up into pieces, make your arguments concise, and I will gladly respond. So, awaiting your next post, here I am.
Likewise, in a context where wrong is understood to mean 'unfair, injurious, unjust, incongruous, inaccurate or dishonest', then it's incongruous to assert that wrong is not wrong, or that something which meets the criteria for being wrong is not wrong.
Different times, different contexts.
That kind of destroys the second paragraph.
Of course it doesn't. To destroy the statement you must falsify that: 'It's incongruous to assert that something that meets the criteria for the meaning of wrong is not wrong. The application itself meets the criteria for being wrong.'
You not only failed to falsify it, you actually provided more examples to support it, and then claimed (rather outrageously) that you'd done the opposite.
Different times, different contexts. It's doubtful (and impossible to determine anyway) whether, if you could explain what "wrong" means to us today to a caveman 100,000 years ago what's wrong with "wrong," since being "wrong" to someone was probably a good way to survive.
You have a tendency, it seems, to wear the opponent out with an avalanche of argument and if they don't respond you can declare victory. You're not the first on TA to use this tactic of forcing the opponent to spend a huge amount of time responding. I won't play that game.
And as you can see, I'm not.
...paired with a surpassing talent for answering them dishonestly. But don't concern yourself. I know why you won't reply.
I expected you'd say something along that line.
You have no sound argument that supports your point. And you're too proud to concede a point.
You haven't shown that concepts like "wrong" have any sort of eternality and objectivity to them. How do you explain that Greeks and Egyptions and Persians had no trouble with things we'd call wrong today. The Mayans sacrificed children to please their gods. Were they just very bad people, or did they apply the idea (I can't say word because they spoke Mayan, no English) in a very different way, then. A way that would seem horrific and alien to us?
And that brings us to cheap trick number one: He's forcing me to respond!
Really, Unseen. How exactly am I forcing you to respond? Psychic mind control powers?
You're not forcing me to respond, you're forcing me, if I do respond in kind, to devote a lot of time and energy. So, I won't. You could be a lot more concise.
Break your post up into pieces, make your arguments concise, and I will gladly respond. So, awaiting your next post, here I am.
And now we come to cheap trick number two: My response is now conditional on your compliance with these demands!
How can I make a demand of you? You're as free as you noted I am!
Naturally, you're the sole arbitrator of my compliance. (That's a fascinating observation, by the way, as my writing has been commended for incisiveness and clarity throughout my academic and professional careers.)
Incisiveness and clarity aren't conciseness. I'm probably the sole arbiter of your compliance, if I am, because you and I are probably the only ones reading these posts. Lengthy posts that go on and on tend to drive readers away.
Where do all human beings draw the line between themselves and all things "wrong"?
Right in front of their toes.
The meaning of right and wrong is derived from one's own state of mind, from one's own perspective.
From my perspective...you are all wrong and I'm right. :D

By Moni Basu, CNN
Atlanta (CNN) – In the end, the Braves are keeping with tradition - as in the signature 'A' that is the team's logo.
MLB.com posted a photo of the new navy blue batting practice caps with a red and white scripted 'A.' The team will wear those hats at spring training, which starts Tuesday.
The Braves said a decision on the batting caps had not been made yet when a potential design was leaked several weeks ago. That design drew ire for its "screaming Indian" logo.
"I like the selection we made this year," Braves President John Schuerholz said in a statement Monday. "We had a variety of choices that we looked at, some more thoroughly than others. But at the end, we liked this one."
But writer Paul Lukas of ESPN's Uni Watch blog, who broke the news of the cap design in December, wasn't buying the Braves' statement. He suggested the Braves withdrew the design because of the furor it caused.
"In other words, the Braves are claiming that they were never committed to the Indian head cap to begin with," Lukas wrote. "But that doesn't ring true.
"The Indian head cap has been shown for months in the official MLB Style Guide and is still shown there right now," Lukas wrote. "It's also shown in the new New Era catalog. All signs indicate that the Braves fully intended to go with the Indian design until the recent controversy caused them to have second thoughts.
Whew. That was certainly the reaction for some Americans, especially Native American groups that were highly critical of the screaming Indian logo.
Kevin Gover, director of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian, said in December that the use of the screaming Indian logo would be going backward.
"What this does is contribute to the casual racism native people are subjected to in our society," said Gover, a member of the Pawnee Nation.
The screaming Indian is an image of an imaginary Indian, Gover said. It and other stereotypical sports mascots, he said, do not portray Native Americans for who they truly are.
The Indian was part of the Braves logo when the team moved to Atlanta from Milwaukee in 1966. It was retired in 1989.
The team also had a mascot, Chief Noc-a-Homa (knock a homer), who wore Native American dress and war paint.
But not everyone agreed with the Braves' decision. Twitter had these comments Monday afternoon:
And this one:
Others just wanted a piece of the controversy:
Debate over sports mascots is, of course, not new. U.S. professional and collegiate sports teams have used Native American logos and names for years. Baseball's Cleveland Indians, for instance, continue to feature a smiling Indian dubbed Chief Wahoo, criticized as a racist caricature.
Sometimes this happens with the blessing of Native American tribes, and other times – like with the NFL's Washington Redskins, a term that many feel advances a demeaning stereotype – they have been denounced as racial slurs.
The NCAA imposes a ban on offensive Native American mascots and last year, voters dumped the University of North Dakota's Fighting Sioux mascot. Florida State University's use of Seminole imagery is allowed because it is supported by the the state's Seminole Tribe.
I am in fact grateful to the owner of this web page who has shared this enormous post at here.
One other issue is that if you are in a problem where you do not have a co-signer then you may want to try to wear out all of your federal funding options. You can find many grants or loans and other scholarships and grants that will give you funding to support with classes expenses. Thanks for the post.
I'm glad the Fighting Irish aren't so sensitive as some of these other people.
Of course the Screaming Indian image is racist. Why do people even bother trying to pretend otherwise?
"Chief Wahoo" is even worse, and should be immediately retired...although I don't have a problem with the team name "Indians," considering the team was originally called the Spiders and renamed in honor of a Hall of Fame player that was a Native American.
And then there's the "Redskins." That's a total embarrassment and the NFL should force them to change the name. I don't care how much "tradition" there is in it. "Redskin" is a RACIAL SLUR. It's no different than calling someone a "n--r."
I prefer screaming Indians over whining Indians.....Screaming has honor.....Whining has disgrace
OK we all know the Indians screamed as part of they're war chant when fighting to protect their land somehow pointing that out and celebrating it is racist....well OK
thanks for reinforcing the stereotypes of an indigenous population
Just because you "know it" doesn't mean it's true. People used to "know" that the world is flat.
Anyone remember watching the footage of Jane Fonda doing the "Tomahawk Chop"? My, how the times truly have changed.
The day the Braves give in to these ignorant, whiny, hand wringing, nosey, busy body, do gooders is the day I find another team.
Its time to but that deck of race cards away and let the fans have the say so or just be cowardered and run away.
did you know race and racism are not cards? i believe not, you did show your ignorance

The first thing I did, was use a Gmail account that is not cluttered, so I can notice the notifications from ForumCoin instantly. Then I use Firefox with a plugin called X-Notify, so I can see new emails quickly and respond appropriately.
I also made sure my Board Preferences Posting Defaults were set to Notify me upon replies by default.

One thing that hit me hard while watching Dallas Buyers Club: the fact that mainstream 1980s medical science was completely unprepared for the AIDS epidemic, coupled with the societal stigma/homophobia of the era, meant that the afflicted had to resort to their own means to survive.

Ben is an old soul from the American heartland. Indoctrinated as a child on AIDS education throughout the 80s/90s, he's fascinated by the sociological and psychological outcomes that resulted from that exposure, for all of us. Especially as new medicines and new generations rise to the challenge, relegating this once-fatal disease into "merely" a serious condition.
A recent diagnosis paired with this ancient education means internal conflict. Ben thrives on examining the layers of HIV-- where society, relationships and even the law are concerned.
Besides that, Ben's innate intellectual curiosity steers him toward diverse things such as immunity and diet, body politics, and "HIV subculture.

GOLETA — Maybe they should build a statue of the fictional boxer Rocky Balboa on the pool deck at Newport Harbor High.
The Sailors girls' water polo team has shown time and time again that it doesn't mind being considered the underdog. The team relishes that role.
Maybe now is the time to stop using such labels for the defending CIF Southern Section Division 1 champions.
Junior Christina O'Beck scored the game-winning six-on-five goal with 2:15 left in the match as Newport Harbor stunned Corona del Mar, 7-6, in a Santa Barbara Tournament of Champions quarterfinal match Friday night at Dos Pueblos High.
No. 3-seeded CdM was considered one of the favorites in the tournament, which is the first for its heralded transfers from Greece, twins Stephania and Ioanna Haralabidis. But No. 6 Newport Harbor said not so fast.
Newport Harbor will play No. 7-seeded Santa Margarita in a tournament semifinal at 12:15 p.m. Saturday at Santa Barbara High. Top-seeded Foothill plays Santa Barbara in the first semifinal, at 11:10 a.m. The championship match is scheduled for 4:35.
CdM, which was the defending tournament champion, plays Los Alamitos in a fifth-place semifinal at 10:05 a.m., also at Santa Barbara High.
The Sailors (11-3) don't advance to Saturday's semifinals without junior goalie Cleo Harrington. She made nine of her season-high 14 saves against CdM (9-3) in the second half. One huge save came on a one-on-nobody chance for Stephania Haralabidis, preserving what was at the time a 5-4 Newport Harbor lead.
Harrington's last block, with 12 seconds left, clinched the match.
"I think [people calling CdM the team to beat] pumps us up even more," Harrington said. "They're this all-star team that has these amazing stars. I mean, our fastest player is obviously Carly [Christian]. Then we look at their starting lineup and they have six Carlys, as far as speed, on their team. I just think it pumps us up even more. I like being the underdog … you can rise to the occasion."
The Sailors definitely did that Friday night. They never trailed, scoring the first two goals on backhand shots by senior Elissia Schilling. But the game was close throughout the second half.
Senior Carolyn Smith scored in transition to give the Sailors a 5-4 lead, but then CdM freshman Maddie Musselman earned a penalty shot that Stephania Haralabidis put away. But Newport senior Avery Peterson scored from six meters to give the Sailors a 6-5 lead headed into the final quarter.
CdM junior Marina Coskinas scored from set with 3:50 left to tie the score, but Newport Harbor was able to kill off three CdM power-plays in the fourth quarter before O'Beck's winning strike.
CdM converted just one of five power-play opportunities, while Newport Harbor was two for two — both goals scored by O'Beck.
"I thought our five-on-six really did a great job," said Newport Harbor Coach Bill Barnett, whose team beat CdM for the second time in three meetings this season.
Schilling had two goals and two steals for Newport Harbor, and Peterson had a goal and three steals. O'Beck had a well-rounded game with two goals, two steals and two assists, and Christian also scored.
Stephania Haralabidis had three goals and Ally McCormick scored twice for CdM. The Sea Kings also got a good game out of senior co-captain Erica Weed, who matched a season-high with 10 saves in goal. But CdM Coach Sam Bailey said his team performed like "six individuals in the water," in direct contrast to the Sailors' team play.
"Newport played really, really well as a team," Bailey said. "What's the saying, something about the whole car's worth more than the sum of its parts? That's it right there. Newport played so well as a team."
O'Beck has scored at least twice in each of the Sailors' three games against CdM.
"She seems to play one heck of a game against us," Bailey said. "The girl's got ice in her veins; you can see it. She just steps up and she's not afraid to shoot."
Newport Harbor defeated its tournament semifinal opponent, Santa Margarita, by an 11-6 score in the Holiday Cup quarterfinals Dec. 28. The Sailors have never won a Santa Barbara Tournament of Champions title in program history.
Schilling had a team-high three goals in the Sailors' 9-5 first-round victory over Corona Santiago, the defending CIF Southern Section Division 2 champions. Harrington had another strong game with 11 saves.
Stephania Haralabidis scored five times and Ioanna added four goals as CdM blasted Rosary, 18-1, in the first round. Senior co-captain Cassidy Papa scored three times and freshman Maddie Musselman had five steals.

Chase Blackburn has been with the Giants for his entire eight-year NFL career, but he never had a bigger impact than he did last year, when he started 15 games at middle linebacker and had career highs in tackles, sacks, passes defensed and forced fumbles. So it's no surprise that the Giants are hoping to keep Blackburn around.
Blackburn is slated to become an unrestricted free agent on March 12, but Richard Katz, Blackburn's agent, told the New York Post that the Giants are trying to get a new deal worked out with him before free agency starts.
"The Giants have expressed a desire to re-sign Chase,'' Katz said. "We believe Chase has been very valuable to the club, both on and off the field. Right now we are assessing his dollar value to the Giants and reviewing all possible alternatives including the Giants."
The Giants are trying to get younger on defense and have already released two veterans who were starters in the front seven for most of last season, Michael Boley and Chris Canty. But the soon-to-be 30-year-old Blackburn is a veteran they'd like to keep. At least if the price is right.

Apple holds their own events now, at a time and place of their own choosing, and CES has made a concerted effort to steal away the accessory booths, and now has more iPhone and iPad cases in their halls than any person, sane or otherwise, would ever want to walk through at any one time.
But neither has taken the heart from Macworld|iWorld, all they took were the bigger keynotes and bigger booths. Macworld|iWorld's heart, it turns out, was never in either of those things. It was in the community. It was in us. And it endures.

"We all share the same vision and dream and that is 'One Peaceful World'." – Michio Kushi
Throughout human history, everyone, without exception and in their own way, be it through force, through the spread of ideas, through politics, religion, ethics, science, technology, economics, writing, art, music, by raising families or by living simply have shared the same vision and dream and that is to create one world of peace. Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, the Romans, Napoleon, Hitler, Moses, Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, the great philosophers, scientists, inventors, writers, artists, musicians, socialists, capitalists and so on have all done so in their own unique way and in their own sphere of influence. These are the words that my father taught me.
Furthermore, without exception, all have failed to realize this dream. Why? Michio and his teacher, George Ohsawa, believed that they failed because they forgot and ignored the fundamental importance of food. Food is our source and origin and without addressing the importance of our daily food and what we eat and how it creates and changes us, which is "macrobiotics", then real peace could never be established.
In other words, the macrobiotic movement is the first movement of it's kind to address food. It is the first biological revolution to establish one peaceful world. It is a peaceful movement without weapons and the use of force. It based on physical experience and biological change caused by changing what we eat everyday and not by imposing any ideas or concepts.
My father and George Ohsawa believed that by returning to a proper way of eating in harmony with natural order, in other words, a macrobiotic approach of living, then health, happiness and One Peaceful World would naturally and eventually follow. Without the peaceful natural biological revolution known as the macrobiotic movement then One Peaceful World could never be established.
What do you think?

Yes, I agree with Ohsawa and Michio's views. Today with our foods grown so often in damaged soils,and with the use of petrochemical fertilizers and pestcides it is all the more difficult to find quality food stuffs. Even "organic" foods have often been grown in soil that still retains depletions of it's healthful composition from generations of previous misuse,mineral depletions etc.etc. With irrigating waters often containing polutants, and even the atmosphere contaminated the situation seems almost hopeless. The 'key' to the kingdom of radiant healt and the resultant world peace it would spawn is indeed Macrobiotics ; we each must make of ourselves the best example we can, and teach our children well, that in time nature may heal itself, and the myriad of life forms it supports. We must find patience, and consolation, in the fact that what LAW got us into this predicament can just as surely get us out!

I believe so. Food being what our life is made from, peaceful food makes peaceful people. We may all share the same vision and dream, but until we all share/partake in a health and happiness creating peaceful "macrobiotic way"/diet there will still be no real, total peace. The unhappy, unhealthy ones will still wage war on the peaceful, even if they don't fight back it is not peace.

The spiritual relationship between heaven and earth and the care of creation secures the connection of many traditions and the knowledge of an ancient knowing that people lived in connection to the earth did not have to be known, it was part of humanity and the way we lived on the earth. That was lost through humanity eating backwards and separating the relationships that were utmost- dear to the traditional peoples. We did once know this sweet grace. Grace of this knowledge, the intimate relationship of heaven and earth, must be taught together with the spiritual cornerstone of the macrobiotic understanding of food. Our ancestors and the connection to heaven and earth for humanity share this destiny-for the twenty-first century. Our children must be taught all layers of the gift of macrobiotics.
February 12, 2011 3:11 pm
Like any idealist, hoping for the Utopia of his dreams, and applying Macrobiotic logistics to the problem, it is fairly easy to see why we need it, and also we can see just how high the wall of resistance there is going to be, as we now see it clearly these days.
Taking Michio at his word, Monsanto might just be the new Hitler that can cause this One Peaceful World. Just like Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan ( the great Genghis Khan say to those who stood before his Army, just said to them "Join us or die") our army, lead by Generals from Monsanto could sweep across the world killing most and planting seeds for the survivors while destroying all that was natural and organic, so that in the end, all that wanted food, would have to beg Monsanto for it. It could become One Peaceful World that way, except for the few Macrobiotics hiding back in the hills, hoping they will last through the occupation forces of Monsanto, looking forward to the day they will be able to come back into the light and plant their seeds once again.
Another way it could come about, as the pendulum swings to the other extreme is that when so many people become sick from all the industrial food we now eat, they finally become so sick of being sick that they all demand that we all return to nature and that Monsanto and the government must make amends for the damage they will have done to the people and the planet. Both of these ways could work to some degree, but it would be a Pyrrhic victory at best.
The only way it should happen is through education and much sacrifice by all those who now produce all the so-called food, that we shouldn't eat, by either changing over to the macrobiotic way of producing the food they now make or to stop producing it altogether.
Going after the companies that we don't like, like Monsanto, as zealots and angry activists, is not the macrobiotic way of changing the world. The Macrobiotic way is like the Taoist way, through slowing down the pendulum's swing so that we all avoid the extremes of Yin or Yang that are both violent, and bring the swing to gently moving near the center, where you have a small yin and a small yang. This is what peace really is. You don't have to give up anything, you just don't go to extremes. Just how we do this is our challenge and our duty to our fellow man, is it not so?
Emiliano permalinkMarch 18, 2011 2:14 pm
I believe the macrobiotic way of life, can not be reduced to a simple way to eat healthy things. I think macrobiotics is to follow the natural order of things, and this is prior to our way of eating. The macrobiotic way of eating is a small reflection of light from a far deeper awareness of what we might call "the macrobiotic way of life"which could be also called in many other ways and names.

Very interesting article and comments, ….One Peaceful World, we live in a world of duality, Peace is a word and a concept that brings within an opposite, then if Peace is one of the sides, the other will appear sooner or later, the strength we use to get Peace is used by others to achieve its opposite, but I will let this on a side, because I do believe that One Peaceful World is a reality that can be achieved, because the Peace that they talk about goes beyond the space and time we know consciously.
I agree with the last phrases of Alan L Keen, while we move closer to the center, we will enter that state of inner(I would add) Peace, that is our duty, but we may want to experience a bit more of swing and that will take us to new states of being.
We are alive and one of the gifts of being alive is our right to experience and not everybody manifest themselves the same, thanks to that the possibilities of improving are incredible, we can see it in a simple situation, just the way we relate to others, with some people is so easy to be and with others it is not so easy, … acknowledging that we cannot literally see ourselves and that we see ourselves through others, we can take the responsibility that all that we can do it is to try to strive for excellence as much as we can, I mean, we should polish all our being and our tiny grain of sand being conscious of this and acting in consequence will push the others to move too. If we are the most little cell of a big body, we need to do our work the best to help the big body to get its goal, being the goal to achieve Peace, there we go.
Then the process to get One Peaceful World begin for ourselves, our core, then the closest ones, our family and friends and extend to the rest of the world, worlds and …Universe. If we achieve this tiny goal, the world will become at the begining One and with time Peaceful, this way the worlds and the Universe.
I don´t think that none of the people you mentioned have failed on making One Peaceful World, they have achieved great results, they have brought to consciousness different ways of getting it, different seeds that at the end had sprout as the same tree with fruits of Love, Compassion, Respect, Tolerance, Simple, straight Life,…..all of them in their own way has mantained Hope alive in the rest of us, that we can shape that One Peaceful World, even if it is just in our own field of action.
Thank you for asking and listening.

"In my experience Macrobiotics with all it's intricate and fascinating possibilities is a Great Art…#theartofliving with a sense of freedom, a kind heart, vitality, generosity of spirit and respect for the constant interplay of the finite and infinite that is surrounding and within us all the time" WD
" yes food we consume and yes also way beyond the food we consume into all those realms that nourish the complete whole human" WD
" The philosophy is great and most of what has been shared by our teachers is worthy of our respect; and yet the overall collective application is in my studied opinion barely in its preadolescent stage [think not yet fully developed frontal lobe] resulting from the overwhelming influence and irresistible tendency of the experienced and inexperienced … to apply the principles and day-to-day details (far to often) in a dualistic way. This tendency is exasperated further by the problematic preoccupation with consuming or constantly taking in the best without at least an equal desire, will, need or deep understanding that generates a putting out or giving the best." WD
IT IS a salutation, A greeting, a kind wish, a hope, a heartfelt outreach or even a prayer for you and with you… That you may be inspired to BE one with your true nature; living moment to moment your great life potential." WD

If you think Repeal Day, 74 years ago, was the end of the story, think again. Check out this great, exhaustive site by David J. Hanson, a professor of sociology at the State University of New York in Potsdam:
Alcohol: Problems and Solutions
The gist of the site is to explore, even-handedly, the effects of alcohol use and abuse on both individuals and society. Hanson explores just about every facet of this topic you can imagine–youth drinking, binge drinking, alcohol and health, drunk driving, you name it.
Among the resources, though, is a long page of prohibitionist personalities and organizations, both past and present. It's remarkable how many groups are today actively seeking to discourage and restrict adult drinking behavior. Hanson writes:
Because Prohibition is now recognized by most people as having been a disastrous failure and currently lacks strong political support, modern prohibitionists are using a different approach to achieve their goal.
Their tactic is to establish cultural rather than strictly legal prohibition by making alcohol beverages less socially acceptable and marginalizing those who drink, no matter how moderately. Like the anti-alcohol activists who preceded them, the neo-prohibitionists of today (often called reduction-of-consumptionists, neo-drys, or neo-Victorians) don't distinguish between the use and the abuse of alcohol. Both should be reduced.
I think this Repeal Day, we owe it to ourselves to take some time and read up on these groups and their tactics.

Well, the Texans showed a little fight. But, so far, not enough.
A pair of touchdowns and a two-point conversion cut New England's lead from 25 to 10. But a Texans onside kick with more than five minutes left was recovered by the Patriots.
New England leads, 38-28.
The Texans scored via a touchdown pass from Matt Schaub to DeVier Posey that initially was ruled incomplete, and a one-yard touchdown throw from Schaub to Arian Foster. Andre Johnson caught the two-point try. The Pats punted in between.
The Patriots are now in kill-the-clock mode, thanks to Rob Ninkovich's ability to secure the onside kick. A week from now, they'll be trying to beat the Ravens for the second straight year in the AFC title game.

BAD BOB: "The Tunes They Are A-Changin'"
Off the top of my head, I can think of some others (a Moog version of "Lay Lady Lady," Johnny Cash, and didn't Hugo Montenegro do a Dylan album?) but believe me, this is more than enough to do your head in. Something's going on here, but I really don't know what it is, Mr. Jones.
This comes to us courtesy of MadJon, who gifted us with the "Disco Sellout" collection we posted here a few months ago.
The Tunes They Are A-Changin'
Correction: track 22 is actually "Knockin' On Heaven's Door". And if your version of "My Back Pages" was corrupted, go HERE for a replacement.

That Okterberfest version of "Blowin in the Wind" you posted a while back was pretty epic.

Yes, Hugo Montenegro did a whole album of Dylan, called Dawn Of Dylan. I've got that. The Sebastian Cabot comes from a whole album of Dylan stuff, too, which is really awful.
Some of the other weird stuff in my mp3 file:
Blowin' In The Wind - Percy Faith
If Not For You- Anita Kerr Singers
Like A Rolling Stone - Living Voices
Blowin' In The Wind - Stan Getz
I'll Be Your Baby Tonight - Bob Dylan
If You Gotta Go, Go Now - Mae West
Blowin' In The Wind - Marlene Deitrich (in German!)
Lay Lady Lay - Plastic Cow (this is the Moog thing you mention--heck, I may have downloaded it from here! The Plastic Cow is actually the father of Wendy Melvoin from Prince's Revolution)
Oh, and I don't have it on mp3, but I used to have a 12-inch of Mitch Ryder doing a really strange but not bad dance version of "Like A Rolling Stone".

Glad to hear it Nick - you are the Grand Inquisitor of Groovy Tuneage.
"Blowin' In The Wind" by Marlene Deitrich in German? Wow!
Actually I'd forgotten that Mike Melvoin did "Lay Lady Lay", I remember now I was thinking of Claude Denjean.

Claude Denjean did it on his 1971 album 'Moog'.

If you want to hear the Deitrich thing, send me an email at my screen name (without the space) at gmail.
And obviously a version of "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" by Bob Dylan is not very unusual--I meant Bobby Darin!
Two Moog versions of "Lay Lady Lay". What a time to be alive. B^)

The par-three, 185-yard 17th is known as the signature hole at Newport Beach Country Club. It also became David Frost's as he sank a sensational 50-foot putt on his way to victory Sunday.
The birdie was the highlight of his wire-to-wire win at the 19th Toshiba Classic. Frost shot a 65 to tie the tournament record at 19-under-par 194 and hold off Fred Couples, who trailed by one shot entering the final round but finished five shots behind.
Peter Senior and Jay Haas, who shot 194 in 2007, finished tied for third place, eight shots behind Frost. Tom Watson was one shot behind them for fifth place.
Frost, a 10-time PGA Tour winner, slammed the door shut with his birdie putt on No. 17. Frost has two victories in his last seven events, part of seven top-10 finishes during that stretch.
"I just chose my spot on the left side," Frost said of his putt on No. 17. "I was trying to get it close and found the middle of the hole. Really big bonus there. I think those things happen when you keep knocking on the door, you keep hitting good shots, you keep putting yourself in position to hit birdie putts."
The 53-year-old South African grabbed his fourth victory on the Champions Tour and collected the $262,500 winner's check. He birdied four of his last five holes to distance himself from Couples, who was behind one shot after a birdie on No. 10.
"I think it was too much work for him," Frost said. "I wasn't hitting too many bad shots out there. ... I felt confident about my game out there."
Frost birdied the par-four, 397-yard No. 14 to go up three shots on Couples, who bogeyed on No. 12. Couples birdied the par-five, 492-yard No. 15, but Frost followed with a birdie.
"He made a putt on 17 that if it wouldn't have gone in, he may have three putted, but it still wouldn't have mattered," Couples said. "He was well in control and he played well."
Frost's start in the final round wasn't ideal, a bogey. But he birdied four of his next five holes to regain and add to his lead.
Couples said he lived in Newport Beach for a few years in the 1980s. He had great support from a huge gallery during the final round.
"I think there's more pressure on him than me," Frost said of Couples being the fan favorite. "Him chasing he's gotta make a putt. I think the pressure was more on him. It's great to be in that position when you're in a guy's hometown and you're able to beat him."
Esteban Toledo, a former Newport Beach Country Club honorary member who lives in Irvine, tied for sixth place with Rocco Mediate at nine under. It's Toledo's best finish on the Champions Tour. His homecoming was bittersweet, as his older brother, Mario, died last week.
Jim Rutledge, who finished tied for eighth place, shot a 62, tying the lowest final-round score at the Toshiba Classic.

text: Properly Assess Alfalfa Stands May 16, 2013 06:15 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By News Release Email Source: NexGrow After a longer than average winter in the Midwest, assessing spring stands will be particularly important to a successful alfalfa crop this year. Here are a few important steps to take that will help you gauge levels of winterkill and winter injury, assess damage accurately and take the proper steps forward. Roots Tell All As you walk your field, excavate several alfalfa plants with a spade or shovel aiming to retrieve at least six inches of root tissue. When examining the roots, look for the following: • Normal roots should be creamy white to tannish brown with very few scars or lesions. • Moderate to slight damage is harder to assess but is usually manifested by slight discoloration (yellowing), a corky feel and very slow or no re-growth occurring after the soil has warmed up. • Severely damaged roots will be discolored and possibly have a water soaked or mushy feel to the crown region. If certain parts of the field look healthier than others, be sure to take root samplings from each area. This will allow you to get a better understanding of your field's health overall. Take Counts at the Right Time Wait until your crop is growing vigorously to take your stand counts; the recommended time is typically when alfalfa is two- to four-inches tall. To get an accurate assessment, throw an alfalfa square and count the number of plants and stems that fall within the border of the square. If your field is relatively consistent, take one count per acre otherwise take two per acre. Remember to only count plants that are healthy and will survive. Any winterkilled plants should not be counted as to avoid an inaccurate reading and plan for your crop moving forward. A good rule of thumb is that plants with only one to three stems growing out of one side should not be counted. Newer recommendations for measuring yield potential for an existing stand use the stems per square foot as a more accurate measure of yield potential for an existing stand. • > 55 stems—Yield not limited • 40 – 55 stems—Expect some yield reduction • < 40 stems—Significant yield reduction; replace as soon as possible Winter Injury Management If you do need to keep winter-injured crops for the coming season, you'll want to be sure to pay special attention to them. • It is recommended to delay first cutting until first flower, giving the crop more time to recover. • Top dress these stands with potash and/or phosphorus according to soil test. • Do not treat winter-injured crops with spring herbicides that are known to stress or stunt plant growth. Not all crop injury can be avoided, but taking these steps to assess damage and establish a plan to move forward will help you get the most out of your crop heading into summer. Read more here.
