WUaS Idea- and Academic Resources
I have a current, particular interest in MIT OpenCourseWare, so will add, teach and learn, with related resources, - but this page is for teaching and learning about the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - MIT, as a whole. I'm particularly interested in creativity and innovation aspects of MIT vis-a-vis WUaS. (S.M.).
WUaS is MIT-centric.
Here are important templates for wiki-creating schools or MIT OCW-centric universities in a language or country of your choice, if you would like to do so -
and here's the main WUaS subject template -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE -
for creating new wiki subjects, and in a language of your choosing.
Publish my article in a WUaS academic journal in this subject
Open Journal Systems. 2012. Open Journal Systems. Public Knowledge Project.
(WUaS's wiki, information technologies and criteria for this - informed by the WUaS academic journal subject matter - are developing, since you can already publish your article at Academia.edu http://www.academia.edu or Research Gate - http://www.researchgate.net/ - or Spire - http://spire.sciences-po.fr/web/ - for example); See Library Resources below at WUaS for further resources.

George Edwards has spent 60 hours a week for 26 years of his life, scanning the waters near Urquhart Castle in hopes of catching the Loch Ness Monster. But none of that time has been in vain — for he believes that this is his best photo of Nessie yet.
The 60-year-old monster hunter explained his encounter to The Telegraph "It was slowly moving up the loch towards Urquhart Castle, and it was a dark grey colour. It was quite a fair way from the boat, probably about half a mile away but it's difficult to tell in water." The image was taken last year in November at 9 AM on a compact Samsung digital camera.
He's certain this is the real deal, and so are his other monster hunting pals. We could do with a picture of the head, though.

Five years after the economic crisis led many Americans to re-evaluate their financial picture, economic uncertainty is still the norm. While there's little you can do about the shaky economy, you can help stabilize your own finances over the long term by evaluating what you're doing right ... and wrong. There's no guarantee, but avoiding these four money mistakes may help you survive and ultimately thrive in any economy.
Mistake 1: Jumping on the bandwagon
Are you letting economic news--good or bad--control your financial decisions? For example, are you selling gold because you've heard that prices are at record highs or buying real estate because you've heard that prices are at record lows? Have you decided to pull most of your money out of the stock market because you've seen headlines warning of a possible financial crisis?
Unless you're basing your decisions on your own needs and circumstances rather than on the opinions or actions of others, you can't be sure you're doing what's right for you. Instead of jumping on the bandwagon, take a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to your finances, no matter what economic news you're hearing or what other investors are doing. Revisit your tolerance for risk and your own financial goals, and try to prepare yourself for a variety of scenarios. Avoid basing money decisions on emotion, or you may find yourself facing unanticipated consequences down the road.
Mistake 2: Only saving what's left over
Do you continue to worry that you're not saving enough? Do you routinely rely on credit rather than cash to pay for the things you want or need? Rather than blame your financial inertia on your income, look a bit deeper, because the real culprit may be the lack of financial priorities. If you don't know exactly how you're spending your money and you haven't set financial goals, it's unlikely that you'll see much financial progress.
Go back to basics by preparing (or reviewing) your budget. If you tend to save only what you have left over every month, you can put yourself on a more disciplined course by having a fixed amount taken out of your paycheck automatically for retirement. Or, you can set up automatic transfers from your checking account to a savings or investment account.
Mistake 3: Not having an emergency fund
One lesson that you may have learned over the past few years is that the job market isn't stable. That's a major reason why one of your savings priorities should be an emergency fund. While it isn't glamorous, this underappreciated workhorse really pulls its weight during hard times. Having cash on hand that you can use for an unexpected expense, or to pay bills if you lose your job, is vital because it can help you avoid having to rely on credit or tap your retirement savings. If you don't have emergency savings to fall back on, a minor money shortfall can quickly turn into a major cash crisis.
Mistake 4: Not asking for help
Even if your finances are in good shape right now, you may be overdue for a checkup. Reviewing your finances is especially important during periods of volatility because it can help reveal potential strengths and weaknesses, and identify changes you might need to make to adjust to the current economic climate. And if you're already in financial trouble, don't let fear or shame prevent you from asking for help. Facing financial problems early may help you make a full recovery. Many creditors are willing to work with you, but this may be much easier while your credit is still good, and while you still have time to turn things around.

Spiritual Bonds with Our Pets
By Doug Knueven
Q) What are your thoughts on whether or not pets have souls? What does the Cayce material have to say on this topic? Dan, Texas
A) Traditional veterinarians might ask, "What does such an issue have to do with medicine?" I, on the other hand, think this is a fitting question. As a holistic practitioner, I take into account the entire patient: body, mind, and spirit. In fact, I dedicate an entire chapter to this topic in my first book from A.R.E. Press, Stand by Me: A Holistic Handbook for Pets, Their People, and the Lives They Share Together.
Most pet caregivers have no doubt that their animals are more than stimulus/response, biomechanical machines. Is it not obvious that each pet has an independent spirit? Specific breeds certainly have characteristics in common. For example, herding breeds of dogs in general have different temperaments than, say, those of the retrieving breeds. At the same time, each individual of a particular breed has his/her unique personality. These characteristics are certainly not due to strictly genetic factors.
According to the Cayce readings, the human soul is made up of Spirit, mind and will. And, according to the readings, the will is the sticking point in the argument for the animal soul.
"The will is that factor which makes man different from the rest of the animal kingdom…" Edgar Cayce Readings 909-1
"Free will – that which is the universal gift to the souls of the children of men; that each entity may know itself to be itself and yet one with the universal cause." Edgar Cayce Readings 2620-2
"Man alone is given that birthright of free will. He alone may defy his God!" Edgar Cayce Readings 5757-1
Okay, so maybe the apparent lack of will is not such a bad thing after all. In fact, if animals lack free will, it only means that they do not have a human soul. Animal actions are not held to the same moral standards as those of their people. Would we hold our dog morally responsible for stealing the neighbor dog's bone? Should he be tried by a jury of his peers?
A surprising result of researching the Edgar Cayce readings that refer to pets is that there is evidence of the reincarnation of animals. A case in point is the "little dog Mona." In three separate readings (268-3, 280-1, and 405-1) Mona is said to have been the reincarnation of a lion from Roman times. It is apparent that some of those near this little creature in this lifetime were once faced with a very different incarnation of her in the form of a lion in the Christian martyrdom era. In still another reading, 276-6, a 16-year-old girl was told that her current pet had been with her in an Egyptian incarnation.
It is obvious from the readings and from the personal experience of most pet owners that our pets have a spiritual nature. We form bonds with our animals that defy a materialistic view. We find comfort in our human-animal relationships that many studies show has a positive influence on our health. Yes, pet owners live longer than those who do not share their lives with a special animal.
The question remains, "What does all this talk about animal souls have to do with their health?" I have found that just acknowledging the deeper levels of animal existence leads to a more complete healing attitude. Holistically-minded veterinarians have multiple levels from which to operate. Besides conventional medicine and surgery, and physical alternative modalities such as herbs, chiropractic, and acupuncture, we also have energy medicine.
Homeopathic remedies are often diluted to the point that not a single molecule of the original medicinal substance remains, yet they have biological effects. Prayer might be viewed as simply wishful thinking by conventional practitioners; still many studies validate its health benefits. Animal communication is dismissed by some, but I have seen firsthand, miraculous results from such consultations.
Holistic pet care is complete care that encompasses body, mind, and spirit. Our pets possess soul attributes and these facets of their existence need to be addressed for true health to be realized. The spiritual bonds we share with our companion animals also enhance our own well-being, as we connect with God through Her creations.

May 10 (Bloomberg) -- Corn futures tumbled, heading for the biggest weekly loss in more than a month, after the government said U.S. inventories will double as farms recover from the drought in 2012 to produce the biggest crop ever.
The harvest this year will surge 31 percent from 2012 to 14.14 billion bushels (50.91 million metric tons), the U.S. Department of Agriculture said today in a report. The average estimate of 26 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg was 14.12 billion. Reserves on Aug. 31, 2014, will more than double from a year earlier to 2.004 billion bushels, the USDA said. Analysts in a Bloomberg survey expected 2.038 billion.
While planting is off to the slowest start since 1984 after rain and snow left muddy fields across the Midwest, farmers intended to sow the most acres since 1936. Corn futures have tumbled 26 percent from a record $8.49 a bushel in August, joining wheat and soybeans last month in a bear market that is reducing costs for buyers including hog-processor Smithfield Foods Inc. and ethanol makers such as Archer-Daniels-Midland Co.
"We have the potential to build a substantial buffer of corn supplies this year," Don Roose, the president of U.S. Commodities Inc. in West Des Moines, Iowa, said before the report. "The weather patterns remain volatile, and that means there is plenty of time for the crop to get bigger or smaller, depending on weather the rest of the growing season."
Corn futures for July delivery slumped 2.6 percent to $6.32 a bushel at 11:46 a.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade. A close at that price would leave the grain down 4.4 percent for the week, the biggest loss since April 5. Futures reached a 10-month low of $6.10 on April 24.
Lower Prices
The expected jump in supplies will send prices lower, according the to government. Cash corn will average $4.70 a bushel in the year that starts Sept. 1, down from an estimated record $6.90 a year earlier. In 2011, the grain averaged $6.22.
Average yields this year may rise to 158 bushels an acre, a record, from 123.4 bushels in 2012, boosting output from an estimated 10.78 billion bushels last year, the USDA said. The government in February projected a crop of 14.53 billion, based on 96.5 million planted acres and an average yield of 163.6 bushels. The department lowered its estimate because of slow planting caused by cold, wet weather in the main U.S. growing regions, it said.
In each of the past three years, USDA forecasts for record crops proved wrong because of drought or heat, including a 13 percent decline in 2012 that was the largest slump in almost two decades. As of May 5, the government estimated 12 percent of the crop was in the ground, less than the 56 percent average of the prior five years.
World Supply
Global corn production was forecast at a record 965.94 million metric tons, a 13 percent jump from the previous year, according to the USDA. Aggregated world inventories on Oct. 1, 2014, will total 154.63 million tons, up from 125.43 million forecast for the end of this marketing year, the USDA said. Reserves were projected to jump to 150.9 million tons, according to the average of 13 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News.
Corn is the biggest U.S. crop, with a 2012 value of $77.4 billion, government figures show.

A man about to be elevated into a position of great responsibility and power has a serious case of cold feet in this comedy-drama from director and actor Nanni Moretti. The College of Cardinals has assembled at the Vatican with the important task of electing a new Pope to lead the Catholic Church. After much debate and a number of ballots that reach no consensus, an obscure but respected man, Cardinal Melville (Michel Piccoli), is chosen by the College to become the new pontiff. However, Melville is a humble man, and when he's told he's been elected to the highest office in the church, he flies into a panic and says he doesn't want to be Pope. Unfortunately, the cardinals have already announced that they've chosen a new Pontiff, so they bring in a psychiatrist (Nanni Moretti) to talk to Melville in hopes of determining if he's just suffering from a case of the jitters or if he has a more serious problem. After some initial interviews, the analyst wants a second opinion and asks his ex-wife (Margherita Buy), also a psychiatrist, to talk to Melville, but after spending some time at her home, the cardinal runs away and begins exploring Rome incognito, talking to ordinary people and pondering his unusual circumstances. Habemus Papam (aka We Have a Pope) received its North American premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

From The Denver Post:
CNN opened a four-person Denver bureau to (quiet) fanfare Monday night with a small reception to introduce correspondent Ana Cabrera. Upstairs at Euclid Hall in Larimer Square, Cabrera met a sea of law enforcement personnel (the FBI was out in force) and a few media types. The Denver native and former 7News anchor, who was with KMGH since 2009, expressed gratitude at having the chance to cover the region. She said she looked forward to a "mutually beneficial relationship" with CNN's local TV affiliates.
Terence Burke, CNN's VP-newsgathering based in New York, told the gathering that CNN's re-entry into Denver marks a "new commitment to a broad range of stories" (ie. not just the most horrible breaking news events) and represents a plan to be "fully engaged in this market."
While CNN has long had reporters here, the new bureau at 16th Street and Broadway represents a larger investment in the region, with senior producer Sara Weisfeldt, photojournalist Ken Tillis and a satellite truck operator yet to be named.

First Amendment Victory in Second Circuit
As the legal battle against Obamacare continues, we got good constitutional news today in another aspect of health care law. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals, based in New York City, ruled that statutes restricting commercial speech about prescription drug‐related data gathering are unconstitutional. The court emphasized that the First Amendment protects "[e]ven dry information, devoid of advocacy, political relevance, or artistic expression."
The case, IMS Health v. Sorrell, concerned a Vermont law that sought to constrain various aspects of prescriber‐identifiable data gathering, dissemination, and use. The state argued that such information collection and exchange could induce doctors to alter their prescribing practices in ways that impose additional costs on the state's budget. Most notably, the law outlawed the transfer of doctors' prescription history to facilitate drug companies' one‐on‐one marketing—a practice known as "detailing" —because the state believed detailing drives up brand‐name drug sales and, in turn, health care costs. Thus, the Vermont law would have eliminated a key part of the market by hindering economic incentives to comprehensively gather the data. The state argued that the data sharing isn't "traditional journalistic activity," it's not protected by the First Amendment.
Cato joined the Pacific Legal Foundation, the Progress & Freedom Foundation, and two trade associations to file an amicus brief in the case in support of the plaintiffs challenging the law. The Vermont Prescription Restraint Law (and the similar laws enacted in New Hampshire and Maine) imposed unprecedented censorship on a broad swath of socially important information. We are gratified that the Second Circuit upheld First Amendment protections here and congratulate the plaintiffs on their victory.

Subject: The OSCEhome OSCE Systematic Approach Flowcharts Are The Answer To Today's Short Patient-Physician Encounters
Are The OSCEhome Systematic Approach Flowcharts The Answer To Today's Short Patient-Physician Encounters?
Recently, I received an email from one of OSCEhome.com newsletter subscribers concerning a valuable article in Newsweek Magazine titled "The Doctor Will See You- If You're Quick". In that article, the Author, Shannon Brownlee, points out that 'they are signs that something in the world of medicine is seriously amiss'. She said patients 'tell tales of being rushed out of the office by harried doctors who miss crucial diagnoses, never look up from their computers during an exam, make errors in prescriptions, and just plain don't listen to their patients. Studies show a steep decline over the last three decades in patients' sense of satisfaction and the feeling their doctors are providing high-quality care. And things don't seem much better from the other side of the stethoscope. In a recent survey by Consumer Reports, 70 percent of doctors reported that since they began practicing medicine, the bond with their patients has eroded'. The main issue she stated is that 'Today visits are still short… The number of required tests and conditions primary-care doctors are supposed to screen for has skyrocketed'. One physician in the article said: 'When you have only 15 minutes per patient, then there are home visits and hospital visits, you feel like you're on a hamster wheel'.
Then, she reported studies that concluded that 'This is not a recipe for optimal care. One Canadian and
On the patient clinical management side, she said 'At the same time, doctors often prescribe too much of the wrong kind of care. Between 2000 and 2005, the number of CT scans performed annually nearly doubled to more than 75 million a year, many of them given, say experts, out of habit or fear of litigation, not because they were likely to help the doctor make a diagnosis'.
Concerning patient-physician relationship, she emphasized that 'Numerous studies have found a link between how well the doctor and patient communicate and the patient's sense of well-being, his number of symptoms, and his overall health.'
Bottom line reality is; 1) physicians have limited time allocated to each patient visit. There are more patients than physicians and training more physicians with these economical circumstances is not possible, 2) have a wide list of differentials to cover in order to be a good physician and to protect themselves. Obviously, the focused history and physical approach became so focused that failed frequently, 3) have no time for establishing an effective patient-physician relationship, and 4) have limited time to explore patient management options.
Currently, physicians have to adopt a focused approach. It is kind of the third world out-patient approach for treating patients' symptoms. In order to protect themselves, they instruct patients to come back if things don't improve! It is kind of an initial screening process during which physicians omitted several important issues concerning clinical and patient-physician communication. This may work initially. The problem is that when the patient comes back for a second visit, will he be allocated more visit time and addressed differently? What if the patient will see another physician who will re-initiate this focused approach?
So, how to solve this?
Since 2004, OSCEhome.com introduced the Systematic Approach to focused history taking, physical examination, and counseling in which a set of grouped carefully phrased questions and actions sets are arranged based on patient complaints, not body systems or physician specialty. It has the same rationale of ATLS APLS, ALSO, and ACLS approaches. After memorizing and practicing all the flowcharts, physicians can pick specific sets of history taking questions and physical exam actions to perform during the patient encounter based on the presenting patient complaint.
Verbal and non-verbal communication skills are embedded within this system. By practicing these flowcharts over and over until it become a second habit, physicians can be confident that they accomplished a professional conduct. This focused approach puts the physician on an autopilot mode to cover all relevant differentials without thinking about them as they have no time in today's short patients' visit.
This approach ensures that the physician won't forget to ask or examine crucial things. In stead, they'll have relatively more time for clinical decision making, establishing rapport, and discussing the patients' options, attitude, and compliance.

(feature photo © Lynn J Simpson -Emerald Lake, Yukon)
You are climbing 1200 steps chipped in the ice of a 30 degree mountain slope. You hold onto a rope strung along the way. You carry 70 pounds of supplies on your back. It's -40 F. And once you reach the summit, and drop your supplies, you slide down the mountain to gather another 70 pounds of supplies and climb those stairs again, and again…ten more times. And when you have all your supplies at the top of the summit, you pack them on your back and travel another 500 miles by foot, and then by boat through river rapids between canyon walls 100 feet high.
You persevere. You persevere in hopes that you will strike it rich, strike gold, once you reach your destination.
This was the travels of the 30 to 40K stampeders who chose the Chilkoot Trail route at Dyea, Alaska on their way to the Klondike in northern Yukon, the winter of 1897-1898. As I researched the Klondike Gold Rush, the topic of my final writing assignment for my current writing course, I began to understand what hardships these stampeders endured for 'riches' that were not even guaranteed! Out of the 100,000 stampeders, only up to 40,000 actually made it to the Klondike, and only 4,000 found gold, and just a few hundred actually got rich.
And I began to ponder: How often have a sought for 'riches' in this life rather than persevered in seeking out His treasures that are a sure thing? When have I given up, or turned away when hardship has hit instead of continuing, knowing He never lets go of the rope no matter if I can't see the next step in front of me?
Proverbs tells 2:1-8 tells us:
My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding—
indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.
Did you know the word 'silver' shows up 402 times in the bible? In other words, there is an abundance of silver to be found in God's word! He instructs us to seek His wisdom that leads to success, guards, shields, and protects us.
And thankfully, to find the knowledge of God, we don't have to summit a mountain in -40 F! Instead, we can faithfully study His word for insight and understanding.
Where are you searching for wisdom?
But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. Timothy 6:11-12

Buddhists and Taoist believes in reincarnation, a belief wherein the spirit or soul of a dead person gets to be reborn again. For these two religions, it is not a matter of proving it but rather understanding the obvious signs that we give regarding our past lives.
It is believe that sometimes we may retain our physical looks. This is also the reason why a lot of New Age people believes that Enzo Ferrari, the founder of Ferrari, reincarnated as Mesut Ozil.
Enzo Ferrari was born February 18, 1898 and passed away August 14, 1988 at the age of 90 years old. If you want to know more about his life, I suggest you Google him, there are a lot of written materials about him.
On the other hand, Mesut Ozil who was born October 15, 1988 is a German footballer who plays for English club Arsenal and the German national team. If you look at their pictures there is an eerie resemblance between them. If you don't know them one would even say they might be twins.
This eerie resemblance led people to think that Mesut Ozil is the reincarnation of Enzo Ferrari, especially because Mesut Ozil was born approximately two months after Enzo Ferrari passed away.
Now the question is Mesut Ozil the reincarnation of Enzo Ferrari?
If we are to be base it on Buddhist beliefs or teachings, the answer is NO. Why?
In Buddhism, the Sutra says that once we passed away, our soul will be reborn again either on the 7th day or 21st day or 35th day or 49th day after. It can be reborn as human again, or animals, or we could be reborn as hungry ghosts or if we are really good, then we can be reborn as heavenly beings.
Also, it is written in the Sutras that our consciousness or soul enters our body upon conception! Meaning our soul enter our 'body' as early as when the sperm meets the egg!
So taken these into consideration, base on Buddhist beliefs, it is impossible for Mesut Ozil to be the reincarnation of Enzo Ferrari because Mesut Ozil would have been already 7 months pregnant when Enzo Ferrari passed away.
However, admittedly, I don't have any explanation as to why there is an eerie resemblance between the two of them.

Today, at the local thrift store I got a dual burner Sterno Stove, new as new can be. Steel construction, easy to see orange in color, folds flat as a pancake. My companion burners fit really nice and they hold 3.5 ounces each for a nice long burn when some large amounts of water need to be purified or lots of snow melted for water.
Good price= .99 cents + tax
When I get a chance, I'll put my cast iron griddle on it to see if I can do eggs and pancakes.

In preparation for setting their roster before December's Rule 5 draft, the Orioles added two players to their 40-man roster on Tuesday, infielder Jonathan Schoop and left-hander Mike Belfiore.
To make room, the Orioles took pitcher Oliver Drake off the roster and outrighted him to Triple-A Norfolk.
Schoop, 21, was the organization's 2011 minor league player of the year and held his own at Double-A Bowie (.245 average and .324 on-base percentage) in 2012 despite being one of the youngest players at that level. He also hit .270 in the Arizona Fall League this year and was selected to the league's all-star game.
Belfiore, 24, also was named to the AFL's Rising Stars game this fall after posting a 4.28 ERA in 12 games. In 28 relief outings for Double-A Bowie in 2012, he was 5-1 with a 2.85 ERA. A former first round supplemental pick by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2009, the Orioles acquired Belfiore this year in a trade with Arizona for infielder Josh Bell.
Drake, a 25-year-old Navy product was limited to just three games at Bowie this year because of a shoulder injury that required surgery.
Several of the more notable Orioles' minor leaguers that will be exposed to the Rule 5 draft include catchers Brian Ward and Caleb Joseph, pitchers Bobby Bundy and Tim Bascom and hitters Brandon Waring, Ty Kelly, Robbie Widlansky and Ronnie Welty.
If any of those players are selected in next month's draft, they would have to stay on the selecting team's 25-man big league roster all season or would have to be offered back to the Orioles.
Latest Orioles
The Orioles' 40-man roster is currently filled.

Who was/is The Everly Brothers ? - CDs, Vinyl LPs, DVD and more
The Everly Brothers
Don (geb. 1. 2. 1937 in Brownie - Kentucky) und
Phil (geb. 19. 1. 1939 in Chicago - Illinois)
Born into music, Don and Phil began performing as children in the mid-40s. Their father Ike Everly, an accomplished guitarist, hosted a variety of rural radio programs which eventually incorporated his whole family. Wife Margaret and sons Don (born February 1, 1937) and Phil (born January 9, 1939) all took their turns at the mic in varying combinations as they honed their harmony skills. However, by 1953 the family's format had reached its end. As recorded music overtook the need for live performers, Don and Phil became infatuated with introducing rock and rhythm and blues flavors to their standard folk and country repertoire.
The mid-'50s found the family struggling to survive. Ike and Margaret worked odd jobs to support their sons' burgeoning musical career, while Don and Phil focused on songwriting and knocking on doors near Nashville. Their first recording deal with Columbia was a fleeting failure and it was not until the duo met up with Wesley Rose that they were truly on the path to success. Being one of the most powerful music magnates in Nashville (and the owner of the colossal Acuff Rose publishing company), Wesley Rose found the brothers a home with East Coast indie label Cadence Records. Rose further coupled Don and Phil with the husband and wife writing team of Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, and the rest is, as they say, history.
The Everly Brothers' first Cadence release, 1957's Bye Bye Love, began a solid string of thirteen Top 40 hits for the label. But by 1964, the Everlys and many of their label mates had departed from Cadence (and the charts). Resultantly, founder Archie Bleyer sold his musical assets to former signee, singer Andy Williams. Although Williams held back the Everly masters for six years, 1970 saw the first in a flood of nostalgic reissues of the duo's Cadence recordings (a trend which continues to this day). Nevertheless, these collections are simply a shuffling of the same forty songs the brothers cut for the label.
March 1985 saw the first compilation that deviated from this format, Rhino Records' 'All They Had To Do Was Dream'. Compiled entirely from outtakes and demos, this set lifted the lid on what still remained within the Cadence archive. Bear Family's 'Classic Everly Brothers' (BCD 15618) box set further collected these outtakes with a few added obscurities, giving enthusiasts and historians a more complete picture of what occurred during those times.
Now, some twenty years later, Everly fans are once again allowed back into the archive to hear a newly unearthed set of working versions and musical sketches from that magical era. A compelling study of the creative process behind the legendary Cadence masters, this set gives one a fresh perspective on these, the Everlys' most popular sides. You won't hear perfection at every turn. Yet, nearly every track exhibits a talented team on the verge of a musical breakthrough. So, pull up a chair and join us at RCA Victor Studios in Nashville, as we join the Everly Brothers in session.

Google Chrome is a free web browser developed by Google that uses the Blink layout engine. Google Chrome used the WebKit layout engine until version 27 and changed to Blink after version 28. It was first released as a beta version for Microsoft Windows on September 2, 2008, and first public stable release was on December 11, 2008.
Google Chromes main features from Google.com
Chrome is designed to be fast in every possible way. It's quick to start up from your desktop, loads web pages in a snap, and runs complex web applications lightning fast.
Fast to launch
Chrome launches from your desktop within seconds when you double-click the Chrome icon.
Fast to run web applications
Under the hood, Chrome is fitted with V8, a more powerful JavaScript engine that we built to run complex web applications with lightning speed.
Fast to search and navigate
You can type in both searches and web addresses in Chrome's combined search and address bar, known as the Omnibox. The Omnibox provides suggestions for searches and web addresses as you type, as well as auto-completion functionality to help you get to what you're looking for with just a few keystrokes.
Fast to load web pages
Chrome is powered by the WebKit open source rendering engine, and loads web pages in a snap.
Chrome's browser window is streamlined, clean and simple. For example, you can search and navigate from the same box and arrange tabs however you wish — quickly and easily.
Keeping it simple
Chrome is designed to be as simple as possible. It's a browser that gets out of the way of the web, so you can focus on what you care about most.
Easy to search & navigate
Getting where you want to go on the web should be simple. You shouldn't have to ask yourself, "Am I searching the web, or I am navigating to a site?" You should just start typing and arrive where you want to be.
That's why Chrome just has one box – the Omnibox – where you can both search the web and navigate to sites. It autocompletes as you type and offers suggestions.
Efficient Tab Management
Chrome's snappy tabs are easy to drag and drop and rearrange, and thanks to Chrome's multi-process architecture, you can open a hundred tabs without slowing Chrome down.
You can also pin your favorite tabs (like email) to the tabstrip so that they appear in the same place every time you launch Chrome.
Tab to search
Why go to YouTube.com first and then search for a video? Just type youtube.com into the Omnibox and hit tab to search YouTube directly. You can also set up custom keywords for your favorite sites.
Built-In PDF viewer
Chrome has a built-in PDF viewer, so you can load PDFs in a snap without needing to install software or a plug-in. It's easy to resize, save, and print PDFs with a click.
Start where you left off
When you close Chrome it will remember the tabs you had open so you can pick up right where you left off.
Chrome is designed to keep you safer and more secure on the web with built-in malware and phishing protection, auto-updates to make sure you have all the latest security fixes, and more.
Safe Browsing
Chrome will show you a warning message before you visit a site that is suspected of containing malware or phishing.
With Safe Browsing technology enabled in Chrome, if you encounter a website suspected of containing phishing or malware as you browse the web, you will see a warning page like the one shown above.
A phishing attack takes place when someone masquerades as someone else to trick you into sharing personal or other sensitive information with them, usually through a fake website. Malware, on the other hand, is software installed on your machine often without your knowledge, and is designed to harm your computer or potentially steal information from your computer.
Sandboxing helps prevent malware from installing itself on your computer, or using what happens in one browser tab to affect what happens in another. The sandbox adds an additional layer of protection against malicious web pages that try to leave programs on your computer, monitor your web activities, or steal private information from your hard drive.
To make sure you have the latest security update, Chrome checks regularly to make sure that it's always kept up-to-date. The update check ensures that your version of Chrome is automatically updated with the latest security features and fixes without any action required on your part.
Chrome puts you in control of your private information while helping protect the information you share when you're online.
Incognito mode
When you don't want your website visits or downloads to be recorded in your browsing and download histories, you can browse in incognito mode. In addition, any cookies created while in incognito mode are deleted after you close all open incognito windows.
When you're browsing in incognito mode, you'll see the incognito icon in the corner. Incognito mode is particularly handy since it's an easy way to browse the web in a private way without needing to change your privacy settings back and forth between browsing sessions. For example, you can have one regular session as well as one incognito session in separate windows at the same time.
Privacy preferences
You can control all your privacy preferences from the Chrome menu by selecting Settings, clicking show advanced settings and then adjusting the Privacy section.
Clearing your browsing data
With Chrome, you can clear your browsing data at any time so that this information is not stored in your browser, including browsing and download histories, cookies, saved passwords, and saved form data. Learn more
Customize privacy preferences by website
Under Chrome's content settings, you can control your privacy preferences for cookies, images, JavaScript, and plugins on a site-by-site basis. For example, you can set up cookie rules to automatically allow cookies only for a specified list of sites that you trust, and then manually manage cookie blocking and setting for all other sites.
Opting out of ad personalization
Advertisers personalize your ads, so that you see ads you are interested in. Advertising companies that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and other self-regulatory efforts allow you to opt out of this personalization. In Chrome, you can maintain your opt-out status for the browser permanently even when you clear all cookies by installing the "Keep My Opt-Outs" Chrome extension.
Additional privacy resources
You can download the Google Chrome Privacy Whitepaper, review the Google Chrome Privacy Policy or learn more about managing your privacy settings in the Chrome help center.
There are tons of ways to customize Chrome and make it yours. It's easy to tweak your settings and add apps, extensions, and themes from the Chrome Web Store.
Apps from the Chrome Web Store use powerful new web technologies to give you the best productivity, education, and gaming experiences, always just a click away on the New Tab Page.
Adding new users
But what if you share a computer with other people? You don't want your bookmarks, apps, and extensions getting mixed up with everyone else's, and you don't want your Chrome stuff syncing to all their devices.
Now, you can add new users to Chrome. Adding new users lets you each have your own Chrome experience, and lets you each sign in to Chrome to sync your stuff.
Just go to Options (Preferences on a Mac), click "Personal Stuff," and click "Add new user."
Extensions are custom tools that let you do more with Chrome, like control your music, take screenshots, and share sites with friends, no matter where you are on the web.
It's easy to add a little color to Chrome. You can install themes made by top artists from the Chrome Web Store, or you can make your own theme on mychrometheme.com and share it with friends.
Signing In
Signing in to Chrome brings your bookmarks, history, and other settings to all your computers. It also automatically signs you in to all your favorite Google services.
Take your web with you
Signing in to Chrome brings your bookmarks, apps, history, and other settings to all your devices (watch video). Anything you update on one device instantly updates everywhere else, and your Chrome stuff is safe in case anything happens to your computer. It's your web. Take it with you. Just go to the Wrench menu and select "Sign in to Chrome…"
You can download all versions of Chrome from googlechromebrowser.com.

You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do
Many people have been asking me what I'm going to do if a MLB team doesn't pick me up. I wanted to write a short entry that will hopefully let you guys in on the decision making that a free agent has to make. There are many factors that go in to a team being hesitant to sign a pitcher. Stats, history, character, surgeries, etc. In my case, teams have been hesitant to pick me up because of my 2009 shoulder surgery. I missed most of 2009 and more than half of 2010 because of it, and my comeback wasn't exactly strong. Granted, I had some great outings. However, towards the end of the season, when my innings started adding up, arm fatigue set in and I got hit around a little bit. All of that is to be expected with shoulder surgery. Ups, downs, highs, lows. So, with very little consistency and not much time to prove my health, you can imagine why teams would be hesitant to sign me. There is a way for me to prove to teams that I am healthy. That I can throw a lot of innings. That I can be consistent. That's independent league baseball.

My pitching coach, Marc Deschenes, wound up playing indy ball after 11 years in Minors. He then got signed by the Red Sox http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=desche001mar and http://www.kensavage.com/archives/repost-of-marc-deschenes-interview-from-redsox-nationnet/
Something good is going to happen for you.
I'm happy to hear that you are willing to take the path. I really believe that you are going to have things go right for you. I've been anxiously following on Twitter waiting for good news. If you're looking to play independent ball, I would love to see you play for my local team, the Washington Wild Things, although PA isn't that close to your home in Atlanta.
While I know an independent league isn't the ideal it can be a good step towards getting back to affiliated ball. One of your former teammates Salomon Manriquez went from an open tryout for the York Revolution last season to a spot on the NY Mets AAA affiliate. And former MLB pitcher Justin Hampson pitched for York after having shoulder surgery as well & is also with the Mets organization now. Tike Redman in one season made the jump from the York Revolution all the way to playing for the Orioles. I can think of countless other stories from within the Atlantic League. So don't give up & please exhaust every opportunity that you can get! You never know what will happen. 🙂
I don't know if you remember me but I coached Jonathan at Eastside. Hang in there. As you know there are many stories of players who went the Indy route and made it back! For instance, Mark Prior is in Yankees camp and is doing well.
We believe in you!
Scott Cipinko
"Son": I am happy you are back in baseball! You have the talent to make it! Stay healthy and David and I will be keeping up with you through the season. Mark
Don't give up your dream. There are many more stories of guys who made it to the bigs on their drive and work ethic. Very few players can make it solely based on talent. You obviously have talent, but it sounds like you have the other intangibles it takes to make it. Keep on going. If it doesn't work out in the end, you will have enjoyed the adventure of pursuing your dream and you will know that you gave it your best shot. You will have no regrets. Best wishes to you and I hope you make it. (Don't forget our Ft. Worth Cats. Ft. Worth is a long way from Atlanta, but if you want to play in a historic ballpark and be embraced by a community, come on out. I would love to come see you in a Cats' uniform.)

The world wanted to possess Linda Lovelace. Celebrity always involves an aspect of ownership (it's why we feel justified in judging the lives of famous people even though they're personally strangers to us), but Lovelace was treated as a possession by her family, her husband, and ultimately the world as she became famous not for any aspect of her personality, but because she had one particular talent. In Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's biopic Lovelace, the filmmakers change the narrative of Lovelace from sex icon to victim of domestic abuse. The movie finds a tenuous connection between the public and private possession of Lovelace, but the narrative's strength comes from stars Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard taking a mature approach to domestic violence, which helps Lovelace rise above its melodrama and poor structure.
In 1970, Linda Boreman (Seyfried) fell for strip-club owner Chuck Traynor (Sarsgaard). Traynor married the "good girl", coerced her to become more sexual, and slowly goaded Linda into prostitution before bringing her in to audition for a porno. At first, the director Jerry Damiano (Hank Azaria) and producer Butchie Peraino (Bobby Cannavale) think Linda's girl-next-door persona is no good for their adult movie, but then Chuck shows Linda's skill at fellatio. She is renamed "Linda Lovelace", and the rest of the story is fairly common knowledge: the porno, Deep Throat, went on to become a massive hit, and Linda became a star. At this point, Epstein and Friedman rewind the picture to show us how Traynor was abusing Linda behind the scenes.
It's an abrupt structure that takes what was previously moving forward as a solid biopic about the ownership of Linda Lovelace, and then splits the story in to a half where the public owns her and a half where we see how Traynor owned her. The motives and players in Linda's notoriety are far more interesting than circling back and pointing out that Linda Lovelace was not some savvy actress who lucked into starring in Deep Throat. In the first-half, Epstein and Friedman even try to make a play for laughs as Damiano and Peraino marvel at Linda's talent, and later there's a distracting appearance by James Franco as a young Hugh Hefner.
By rewinding the movie, it's as if Epstein and Friedman are saying, "Look! It wasn't all fun and games!" even though we've already picked up on the problems between Lovelace and Traynor. Once we start going behind the porno, Lovelace becomes primarily about the horrible domestic violence Linda suffered. We can't say she "becomes" a victim because Linda is always at the mercy of more powerful players. She's sweet and shy, and we can see how she was easily manipulated before being physically forced into submission. Using this dynamic and plotline, Epstein and Friedman start sending their movie into melodrama, but thankfully they have Seyfried and Sarsgaard to add the depth and nuance the picture lacks.
Seyfried needs more roles like this one. Her talent is being wasted on mindless thrillers like In Time and Red Riding Hood. On the page, Lovelace is a bit of a static character up until the end of the movie. She's the good girl who was turned into a victim, and while we innately feel sympathy for any woman who's being abused, Seyfried turns Lovelace into a character who is perversely resilient as she never succumbs to self-abuse despite being exploited by the world. There's always good in her, which makes the character more than a victim.
Sarsgaard is even more incredible as he makes us see the humanity in an atrocious human being. Traynor is unquestionably a despicable figure, and the film never tries to make any excuses for his behavior. However, Sarsgaard works to find what would make Traynor behave this way. We see how a weak and pathetic person would turn his loathing outward, and direct it towards someone like Linda, who was getting the recognition he felt he deserved. Saying Sarsgaard gains our sympathy is a bit of a stretch, but he certainly earns our understanding.
The maturity of the lead actors and the space they have to give excellent performances make Lovelace more than a domestic violence PSA or a Lifetime movie with nudity. Epstein and Friedman remove their film from a larger issue regarding the public's ownership of an infamous celebrity, but they do a strong job of taking the smaller story and still making it feel heartbreaking and thoughtful.

Mike Tomlin gives Dick LeBeau vote of confidence: 'Because he's Dick LeBeau'
Steelers defense surrendered franchise-record 55 points in loss at New England
The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense has certainly had its struggles this year, but the job of defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau is secure. Head coach Mike Tomlin made that very clear Tuesday.
At Tomlin's weekly news conference, he was asked if he still has confidence in LeBeau's ability to stop opposing offenses. Tomlin gave a one-word answer: "Certainly."
A follow-up question was asked: "Why?" And Tomlin replied, "Because he's Dick LeBeau. Does that answer your question? All right."
LeBeau, 76, is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He has guided the Steelers' defense since 2004, a tenure that includes three conference championships and two Super Bowl victories.
Despite scoring 31 points Sunday at New England, the Steelers (2-6) allowed a franchise-record 55 points and 610 yards in a blowout loss to the Patriots.
In Week 3, Pittsburgh allowed three offensive touchdowns to the Chicago Bears at Heinz Field. The next week, the Steelers gave up 34 points to then-winless Minnesota in London.
After a bye week, the defense played much better in Weeks 6 and 7 as the Steelers beat the New York Jets and the Baltimore Ravens for their first two victories of the season.
Just as the Steelers seemed to be gaining steam, they traveled to Oakland and allowed a 93-yard touchdown run by Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor on the first play of the game, which they lost 21-18. That was followed by the historically bad defensive performance at New England.

Donovan Ricketts had just been beaten by Bradley Wright-Phillips for a goal, but he refused to let it happen a second time.
Moments after surrendering an equalizer to the on-form striker, Ricketts came up big, literally and figuratively, to deny Wright-Phillips on a golden one-on-one opportunity. The save helped keep the game level and opened the door for the winner from Maximiliano Urruti in the Portland Timbers' 2-1 road win vs. the New York Red Bulls last Saturday.
The impressive save saw Ricketts claim Week 12's Save of the Week honors by a landslide. The Jamaican international earned almost 61 percent of the vote en route to winning his first Save of the Week award this season, extending the Western Conference's reign with the award to three weeks.
Final Votes - Week 12:
1. Donovan Ricketts (POR): 60.72%
2. Stefan Frei (SEA) 21.73%
3. Bill Hamid (DC): 6.36%
4. Troy Perkins (MTL) 6.36%
5. Jon Busch (SJ): 4.84%
