(UPDATED: 2 p.m., Monday)
Something became apparent about the Braves after they won their first two games against the Washington Nationals, and it wasn't just the revelation: "Wait, they just won back-to-back games over the best team in baseball on a throwing error and a hit batter? Is this the baseball gods making up for Kenshin Kawakami?"
If you walked through the clubhouse, in the dugout or on the field for batting practice Sunday, a feeling of relative serenity for a stretch drive in September was obvious.
Nobody was stressed. Nobody seemed to be obsessing over first place — or, more importantly, not first place. Nobody was thinking about injuries or losing streaks or .200 batting averages or the recent ugliness of a wrong-way series in Milwaukee.
"Somebody said yesterday we have a magic number or something," Eric Hinske said Sunday. "Really? Who cares?"
He said that. It's clear they're all thinking that way.
The Braves swept a three-game series from Washington, then left town to open a three-game series in Miami Monday night. The odds remain against them moving up or down in the playoff race, but the accomplishment of this past week led to some impressive numbers and, dare we suggest, a trace of optimism about October.
The series sweep gave the Braves nearly as many wins over the Nationals in 72 hours as they had in the season's previous 15 meetings (5-10). They also went into the Miami game with a 10-5 record in September, which means they've already exceeded the win total for September last year (9-18).
"Everybody is asking me: Am I going to say something? Am I going to call a meeting?" said Chipper Jones, who singled in the team's first run in the third inning and scored the final one in a three-run seventh. "If I thought there was any sort of panic or whatnot, I would say something. I just think these guys don't need an overbearing 40-year-old father to talk to them right now. Let's just strap it up and play the best baseball we can."
The Braves were 8½ games out of first place in the National League East before the Washington series. They were 5½ out after. Temper the excitement. That means even if the Nationals only split their final 16 games, the Braves would need to go 13-2 just to tie them and force a one-game playoff.
Possible. But not likely. Then again, before the Braves circled the drain last season and blew their wild card lead, we were saying: Possible. But not likely.
Regardless, what the Braves just did is significant. They're finally giving a sense that they're prepared for the stretch run and the playoffs. That the team returned home after getting swept by Milwaukee and didn't devolve into full meltdown mode against the Nationals is significant, especially given how it reacted in similar circumstances a year ago.
"I know everybody has a bad taste in their mouth whenever we don't play well for a two- or three-game span," Jones said. "They start getting all antsy. But we learned a lot from that experience [in 2011] and I think it's going to be a good thing ultimately that we went through it. When we win something, we're going to be able to look back and see the silver lining. Nobnody wants to experience that again. People are using that as motivation."
Dan Uggla, who came through with a clutch two-run single in the seventh inning after popping up on a 3-0 count with two runners on base an inning earlier, said: "You could cut the stress level with a knife in here last year. There's a lot of things that have happened that enabled us to get to the point we're at now, whether it was experiencing what we did last year or having everybody healthy right now, except for [Brian McCann]. I think everybody is just more at ease. I think having gone through what we went through last year helps. We kind of joke about it. It's just a very different situation, and what we've done in September shows that."
Ultimately, the Washington series may not impact the division race. But the foreshadowing for October suddenly isn't so ominous.

Great series by Atlanta. Timely hitting, solid defense (except for 2nd inning Saturday), and excellent pitching.
Nationals face 16 games in a row against teams within 3.5 games of Wildcard. Will be interesting to see how they respond. Braves were 4.5 up with 15 to go last year.

With the win, the Atlanta Braves are still the # 8 baseball team 2012.
Georgie tek, recipients of 3 consecutive blogs by Jeff Schultz, remains an unranked team while The Georgia Bulldogs passed Oklahoma in the rankings and Southern California when Matt Barkley threw 2 interceptions losing to Stanford to put UGA # 5 in the nation.
Our next 2 opponents are both unranked, like Georgie tek, with Vandie then the vols coming up. Vandie had not won a game all season then beat Presbyterian college last weekend, whom Georgie tek beat earlier this season by a similar score.
8th best baseball team 2012, Atlanta Braves, still do not have a marquee player and have no since Ted Turner quit the team and moved to Montana. We don't have any money; just play with what you got, our owners told us ever since.
SUSPENDED PLAYERS, we only have 3 for the Vandie game, and then will be down for the vols game only Kolton Houston, whom the NCAA suspended.
We started slowing for the South Atlantic Florida game Saturday, amid all the sell-out disguised by empty seats and witnessed for the 2nd time in as many games our own fans booing our own team, again.
That must really burn those who actually think Oklahoma did something wrong, or we so much better this 2012 season to-date to move us up ahead of Oklahoma in the AP Poll as they have only played 2 games to our 3 now.
Coaches' Poll finds UGA still worse-ranked than Oklahoma.
Southern California dropped 11 places to # 13 in the AP Poll and 9 spots in the Coaches' Poll to # 12.
Vandie cannot pass the football, nor stop the run – thus unranked while the vols cannot run the football nor stop the run as I pointed-out all week last week to you.
There are 6 SEC teams ranked.
ACC has 2 ranked football teams. Nice. No wonder you sold-out to Notre Dame to not allow them to join the ACC in Football – the sport they're most relevant in.

Ther Braves are going to win the home field advantage Wild Card spot this season. As mathematically daunting as it is for the Braves to catch the Nats, that's precisely what the Cards have to do to catch the Braves. As far as the Braves are concerned, just go out and have fun winning baseball games and let winning take care of the magic numbers.
September 17th, 2012

Wonderful game, and yes, this team seems far more resilient and poised than last year's team. Pitching is better, BP is rested, attitude is different. The Braves made a huge statement tonight.

I was so happy to wake up this morning to see that the boys had swept the Nats….. If I'm the Nats – growing concern on what is happening with that club…. shutting down Strasburg may or may not have been a good idea….. when you shut down a catalyst it can effect everyone in the clubhouse….. that being said – I'm just glad the Braves keep playing Hotlanta ball! Go get em'!
September 17th, 2012
12:45 am
Well that was something like a playoff atmosphere. What a weekend so far. The combined Tech and Georgia score was more than halfway to 222.
September 17th, 2012
12:53 am
The Nats ran their lead up to 8.5 after shutting Strasburg down. It took a sweep to bring it back to 5.5. Personally, I couldn't give a damn what happens in the regular season as long as we're in the playoffs. If we don't win anything there, this season will be a total waste.

Jeff – let me add to all the things the players articulated, and the implications of their confidence – this was HUGE!. Assuming the Braves don't lose all momentum, this was a tremendous confidence builder. Even assuming the Cardinals win the second wild-card, the Braves will not be intimidated by Cards' ability to win-it-all as a late-blooming 'wild card'. This just might be a team that puts it all together – just might be, just sayin'.
September 17th, 2012

Unfortunately, all of this success and talk of feeling better about this team can end in a single 1 game playoff if we have an off day. I hate this new format- baseball is not a sport where one game should determine the outcome of a season
September 17th, 2012
4:11 am
bulldogbubba: I read your post on the live blog asking where I was.
I was asleep and missed that blog and a great win by the Braves.
I see that Chipper drove in the first run and Uggla the go ahead run.
No bad for two players that have taken more than their share of
abuse from a lot of bloggers this year.
September 17th, 2012
5:25 am
Sweeping the Nats. is the best thing the Braves have done in a while. This is definitly the best time of year to get fired up and play their best. If it had been the other way and we lost all three games with the Nats. Mr. Shultz would have had to come up with a different title for this column. GO BRAVES !

I'll be amazed if this 1 game playoff crap happens again next year. Just another in a long list of incredibly stupid decisions made under the "leadership" of Pud Selig.

Once again the naysayers are conspicuously absent from the blog as the Braves sweep the best team in MLB and FG is looking like a legitimate candidate for manager of the year, FW executive if the year. FW has managed to cull together an impressive group of young players without simply signing every available star free agent, a la Yankees and Phillies. He has done it the shrewd way-largely the draft. Control the salaries of good young players and sprinkle in a few grizzled veterans. Braves are poised for another run. Where are all the FIRE FREDI and FW IS A MORON crowd.

Excited to sweep those nationals, however that play in wild card game still scares me. I would hate it for us to go all this way get into the "playoffs" (sorry I do not count that play in game as playoffs) and then lose and that play in game. Does anyone else feel that way, that would be so sad for Chipper to go out like that.
September 17th, 2012
7:50 am
Outstanding performances the entire series, Bravos. Just when I thought this team was getting flushed down the crapper, they sweep MLB's hottest team. Keep up the good work fellas and let's put a charge into the remaining 15 games.
September 17th, 2012
7:52 am
Nats haven't won 1st yet…They have 4 series against the Brewers, Dodgers, Cards, and Phillies – all are trying to get into the playoffs. Braves have a much softer remaining schedule with Marlins, Mets, and Phils.
September 17th, 2012
7:53 am
Just like the Cards did last year, I hope the Braves play to the final whistle….You never know what may happen… I don't see the Nats going 8-8 the rest of the year and may be ready to mail it in….

I'm tired of this teams lack of ability to score especially when you have runners on second and third and no outs. They are a one base at a time team and that won't get you far in the playoffs
September 17th, 2012

Now if the team will just dump Hanson and outright release Jurrjens, I will be happy – both of them are worthless!

A 1 game playoff is a crap shoot. Funny how we're printing WS tickets again. Last week were firing people and shipping off Bourne and others.
September 17th, 2012
8:34 am
Braves got lucky that Medlen become unhittable. He would be in AAA if Beachy hadn't got hurt & Delgado hadn't struggled. Everything the Braves do is unplanned off the cuff stuff. Every Braves hitter needs to look in the mirror and hold himself accountable to the team. Go at least 1 for 4 every game or apologize for your failure.
Francona on ESPN last night : "Hinske's the kinda guy you want if you have a brawl". That's all he's good for. He can't hit.

Yes, I hate the Bulldogs. I jumped off the bandwagon in the 90s b/c their overbeaing fans act like this. Only this paper goes nuts over beating a high school team such as this. How in the world the Braves are the "#8 baseball team" makes no sense when they're #5 in baseball, no. 1 wildcard.
Speaking of Georgia, you beat Alabama, this hater will hush.

It is difficult to believe that the Braves gave Uggla that kind of contract and are now stuck with that contract taking up a significant part of their salary budget for what – two or three more years – for that kind of player – unbelievable.
September 17th, 2012
9:55 am
Why is a quote from Eric Hinske even in this story? He has not been relevant all year. He has no business on a big league roster. Why not interview the clubhouse laundry kids? They have more to do with the Braves success than Hinske.
As for Uggla, I think it's great that he gets an important hit every month or so. But let's face it. He's been a huge, massive failure, on offense and defense. Yes, they'll make it to a one game playoff, and keep your fingers crossed that he won't be at the plate in a crucial situation He has been all year, and has failed mightily. If the Braves had a 2nd baseman with range, who could hit .250, they'd be leading the Nats by five games.
And kudos to the previous poster on Medlen. There's no genius maneuvering from Wren & Frediot here. Much like Bobby Cox kept Prado on the bench until Kelly Johnson got hurt, the dynamic duo only started Medlen when they were forced by injuries. Let's call it what it is. The fans knew Medlen had the stuff, management did not.
September 17th, 2012
9:58 am
I thought that was a great crowd last night–90's like, except for the dogs. I don't like the prospect of the Cardinals, but I have my credit card ready. Minor, I take back everything I said about you.
September 17th, 2012

The closer the Braves get to wrapping up a wild card spot, the more I am hating this new "One Game Playoff". So terrible.

Braves will be one and done in the "playoff" with St. Louis if we can't catch DC

Miley Wants to Work With Annie Leibovitz Again
Miley Cyrus, teen queen and "Hannah Montana" star, says she wants to be just like the woman who took those famous and controversial photos.
Cyrus reportedly said she'd love to move to London to study photography and her inspiration is Annie Leibovitz. "I do want to come to London to study photography. I hear there are some really great art schools, so I would love to do that. I got to work with an amazing photographer. Leibovitz was amazing and so talented ... And that's what I want to do with my life. I would love to be a photographer. I would love to work with her again."
The 16-year-old certainly has the money to study abroad and to buy the top of the line equipment. And if it's controversy she's looking for, she has a knack for that too. We're banking she'll be successful. Hey, if Brad Pitt can do it ...

Lego Racist: Stupid Turks Complain Jabba The Hutt's Palace Is Based On "Mosque" They Stole From Christians
Lego has been accused of racism by the Turkish community over a Star Wars toy allegedly depicting a mosque.
"The critics claim that the Jabba's Palace model, part of Lego's Star Wars range, offends Muslims as it resembles the Hagia Sophia mosque in Istanbul - one of the world's most renowned mosques."
The Haggia Sofia "Mosque" was originally built as an Orthodox Basilica.

Today I am Thankful!
your flowers are so pretty....
You've had really good luck starting the Dahlias. They look good.
Wow, dahlias from seed, I have a hard time keeping them happy when I buy established plants! Enjoy:@)
Those are beautiful flowers! Love that last shot. Also love the picture of your daughter on her wedding day. What lovely eyes she has!
Beautiful dahlias...and what a garden you have! Lovely photos, love the last one...the red blooms in front with the tall blue ones at the back!
Nice dahlias! I don't usually plant them but probably should.
Darla, your garden is so gorgeous and adds a bright spot in our dreary day. I cannot believe how much color you have already. Just look at the garden show going on with those dahlias.
I posted your upcoming poppies today., just for you.
Love those seed dahlias. Love that raised bed garden. Hope you are having a good day.
So glad the seeds worked well for you. They look so pretty. Your Larkspur looks so wonderful with the petunias. Have a great week.
WOW that is incredible that you started those from seed! So pretty!
I love your header photo ♥♥
Very cool!
Wow! You have seed Dahlias blooming in April?! I start a bunch from seed every year, and mine are still tiny plants. I don't usually get flowers until August.
They're very pretty!
Oh how beautiful, Darla! And I loved your mom's advice--it was great!
Beautiful flowers.I have had no luck with Dahlias,so I enjoy them here.
The Dahlias or so pretty and the garden looks great.
I've never tried starting Dahlia from seed, how cool that they are already blooming this year.! Your castle wall garden is looking pretty too. :)
Dahlias from seeds! I had no idea but wow I am going to have to try this. Love the headline photo, have not seen a hummingbird moth in years.
You always know the proper name for your plants (and mine..lol) thanks for the sweet comments on my Trumpet.. We have been in the 90's down here in Clearwater for two weeks now..so mine are faster to bloom....
Dahlias from seeds -- I am so impressed! Beautiful.
You have such great luck with seeds. I may need to take lessons! All the Dahlias are lovely but the soft pink is my favorite. Jean
Your dahlias look great. I especially like the very pale pink one with the golden center. One year I grew some dahlias from trade seeds and got just about every color of the rainbow ~ sadly, in spite of my efforts, I lost most over a winter. Time to grow more!
I have never done dahlias from seeds. I may try it next winter.
Wow, beautiful blooms! Thanks for the sweet quote about Grandmothers! A keeper for sure!
I have a red dahlia to get planted, I am probably late! Your garden is truly lovely.
So cool that you started those Dahlia's from seed! Inspirational! Cheers, Jenni
Love your dahlias. You've got a green thumb for sure.

Thanks for the inspiration!

The nationally recognized accrediting authority for medical education programs, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, has removed probationary status for the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine.
The School of Medicine was placed on probation in June 2011 after the LCME cited nine standards in noncompliance, one standard in compliance with a need for monitoring and three standards in transition. The school remained fully accredited.
University President Stephen J. Kopp made the announcement about probation being lifted last week, calling it a milestone that was not easily achieved.
"Dean Joseph Shapiro addressed the issues with precision and tenacity and has created a vision for an even better medical school," Kopp said. "I sincerely thank our faculty, staff, students, Gov. (Earl Ray) Tomblin, Sen. (Robert) Plymale, our legislators and everyone involved throughout the Medical School and our Marshall University community for their incredible, hard work."
A site team from LCME visited the school in June, and the board voted to lift Marshall's probation at its meeting last week. Shapiro said the review process gathered information from several constituencies.
"We will have more details when we receive the formal letter from the LCME, but I did not want to wait to share this fantastic news with our friends and the folks who have worked so diligently to make this happen," Shapiro said. "With our accreditation status now solid, we can move forward."

ESPN Columnist Writes Passive-Aggressive Chickenshit About Chris Kluwe
Minnesota Vikings punter and friend of Deadspin Chris Kluwe has been struggling on the field lately, so much so that the Vikings worked out a few potential replacements last week. This isn't a unique situation, as punters fall into slumps all the time, and are often cut in favor of one of the many able-bodied replacements that populate the waiver wire.
Kevin Seifert of ESPN, however, saw Kluwe's struggles as an opportunity to write this piece of shit, in which he claims that Kluwe is a "fortunate NFL employee" (the use of "employee" in that headline is just oozing with smarm) for having not already been cut due to his propensity to focus his energy off of the football field. Now, if you want to make the assertion that Kluwe has been struggling because he spends too much time writing about and campaigning for equal rights for homosexuals, that's fine. You'd be wrong, but you'd at least have a point to argue.
seriously, "piece of shit" isn't strong enough for that Seifert piece. At least have the strength to follow through on your convictions instead of mealy-mouthing it.

Best of the rest - Android edition: Pixel Kingdom, Vex Blocks, Unicorn Apocalypse
James Gilmour
New iPhone, iPad, and Android Games
Steel Media
Welcome to "Best of the rest - Android edition",
Pocket Gamer
's round-up of all the new 'droid games that we didn't find the time to cover this week.
Hundreds of new games hit Google Play every day, so we can never write about everything. Instead, we pick and choose the most interesting and noteworthy apps.
To make sure no one is left out, though, we like to chuck a few of the most exciting 'leftover' new Android games in this here article.
Let us know if you like the look of any of these.
Pixel Kingdom
By SmashGames - download for Android
Here's something you don't see everyday: a Kickstarter project that's actually come to term.
Pitched on the crowd-funding platform late last year,
Pixel Kingdom
is an RPG defence game based around fending-off attacks from an endless supply of blocky baddies.
Luckily, you have a wide variety of units to purchase and upgrade, including healing clerics and deadly ninjas.
It's free-to-play, and garnering some great reviews, so check it out.
Vex Blocks
By Itzy Interactive - download for Android
If you like your match-three puzzlers with fewer jewel and more lightning, you might want to check out
Vex Blocks
This electrically-charged colour-matcher marries slick neon visuals with classic
-esque gameplay.
You get an impressive amount of bang for your buck, too. Dev Itzy entertainment has crammed four different game types into this cuboid package, including an 80-level Puzzle Mode.
We approve of the game's polished visuals and Thor-like obsession with lightning bolts. The dedicated Puzzle Mode is also a nice inclusion.
Unicorn Apocalypse
By Samsung Telecommunication America - download for Android
Finally, we have
Unicorn Apocalypse
, a supposedly kitch auto-runner which appears to have been crushed by its own hype machine.
The winner of Samsung's developer contest (in which users were invited to create a game based on the Unicorn Apocalypse concept shown in recent Samsung commercials), Liquid Gamework's rooftop runner is as daft as you would expect.
In it, you must guide the magical horned horse across crumbling buildings, all the while fending off attacks from heavily-armed military types.
Despite all the free publicity,
Unicorn Apocalypse
has received a ton of negative feeback on Google Play, and currently has a 2-star rating based on over 500 reviews. Ouch.

FBP is short for "Facebook Purity". Facebook Purity (aka Fluff Busting Purity) is a browser addon / greasemonkey script that lets you remove all the junk from your facebook homepage, such as application spam, game and quiz results and also lets you change the font size, so you can actually read the text in the newsfeeds again.
Since installing FBP i can filter out all the junk i dont want to see when i browse facebook, its a real life saver!
af Dr Aculla 9. november 2010
FBP is an acronym referring to a black person. FBP stands for Famous Basketball Player. FBP refers to the dirtiest kind of negro, the kinds of black men who hang around doing nothing but getting high and being a gangster. Some respectable black men wouldn't be considered an FBP because they haven't stooped to the low social level of the rest of the black population.
Jim: Rob, you better lock up your bike, there are fbp's around here
Rob: Yeah, and make sure you dont look at them wrong or they'll turn into apes and jump on your face.

Daddy and Baby Bonding
True, a dad can't feel his baby growing inside him, but that doesn't mean you can't get your bond on Dad (and we don't mean in the 007 kind of way). Here are 10 easy tips to ensure that Dad and Baby develop a strong connection from the start!
Hello in There!
Research has shown that babies can distinguish between their parents' and strangers' voices from 30 weeks in the womb—and the same study found that if dads speak to a baby before birth, the newborn will recognize his father's voice. So talk—or sing—to that belly, Dad! This is your chance to exercise your vocal chords! It doesn't really matter what you sing—Metallica, anyone?—your child will not understand the words, but will respond to the melody.
Be Team Captain
Be involved in the birth of your baby. Nadine Lahana, mother of toddler son Luka, with a second baby on the way soon, says, "Brendan felt he really bonded with Luka when he decided to take part in the whole delivery. He cut the umbilical cord, and he made sure he was the first to hold Luka in his arms and to make eye contact. Doing all that bonded him to Luka forever."
A Little Lower, Dad
Massage that baby! Infant massage stimulates Baby and can help a dad bond with his child. Massage also helps babies with digestion, relieves colic, eases tension, helps with breathing, and spurs growth—lots of good things! An attending midwife or licensed massage therapist can give parents some helpful hints regarding infant massage, and which oils and lotions are safe to use on a baby's delicate skin. To get started, read our beginner's guide to infant massage.
Bath Buddies
Get into the tub with your baby! Yes, you read right, Dad. This is a fantastic way for you and Baby to bond. Many infants are startled when put into a bath and may not like it, so Dad getting in the tub with Baby can become a very soothing experience. "Quite often Bren will jump into the bath with Luka and they will 'chat' for ages. This is their time and I know Luka thrives on it," says Lahana.
Wear Your Baby
Put Baby in a sling or carrier and go on with your honey-do list. This may sound obvious, but it really is an effective way for Dad to get some work done while maintaining close contact with Baby—and make Mom happy in the process!
Get Up and Dance!
Babies love dancing with their daddies, either strapped to their chests or held in their arms. Little ones enjoy being gently jiggled about, and this not only helps a dad and baby to bond, it can also soothe and quiet a fussy baby. With a bit of luck, it may even put her to sleep!
Know the Routine
Although many new mamas and dads feel a little out of their comfort zone with a new baby, a new father is just as adept at learning what to do as a new mother—even if he may feel that for Mom "it comes naturally." If you're aware of your baby's routine, Dad, you'll be able to help out with feedings, diaper changes, and other everyday baby chores, including baths and going for walks—even that 2 AM feeding (hint, hint).
The Great Outdoors
No, we don't mean the movie, though we're Dan Akroyd fans too. If you are a keep-fit kind of guy, there is no excuse not pack up a stroller and go for a brisk walk or jog. This will put a cranky baby to sleep and help clear your head, while you both benefit from the fresh air.
Cuddle Up and Co-Sleep
There are differing views on co-sleeping, although this practice is becoming increasingly common with parents today. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says that shared sleeping surfaces in the United States are unsafe for infants, and that cribs are the safest places for babies to sleep. But if you've considered the pros and cons and safety issues, and decide co-sleeping is the right choice for your family, it will definitely help you bond with your baby.
Be Silly
Nothing like seeing a Dad being goofy with his baby! Making silly faces and noises with your little one will probably be the only time such behavior is acceptable in public. So go for it! Make animal noises, blow raspberries—ham it up, Dad!
Fatherhood: Bonding with Your Little One While You're AwayGot the bye-bye wave down pat, Dad? Whether it's due to long work hours, business travel, divorce, or a military assignment, time away from your baby can be hard. These tips will...view gallery

Profits leapt 45.6 percent to $301.1 million, or 66 cents a diluted share, for the three months ended Jan. 26. This compared with $205.5 million, or 43 cents, a year earlier. Sales at the firm's 2,563 stores grew 7.7 percent to $5.49 billion from $5.1 billion, with comparable-store sales up 4 percent.
Looking back at 2007, president and chief executive officer Carol Meyrowitz emphasized control as key to the financial success of the firm, which operates T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and other nameplates.
"We were extremely disciplined in managing inventories, which gave us the ability to buy into current trends," said Meyrowitz.
TJX closed out the quarter with inventory worth $2.7 billion, a $100 million increase from a year earlier.
"[Fourth-quarter] results reinforce the notion that TJX's off-price model appears well positioned in today's challenging spending environment," said Adrianne Shapira, equity analyst at Goldman, Sachs & Co., in a research note. "Over the medium term, investors will likely continue to pay up for this 'macro-insulated investment' status."

Sites open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday
Public Works crews have cleared some of the storm debris from sites used for storm debris dropoff last month, and will reopen those locations for more debris collection this weekend.
"The dropoff sites filled up fast when we had them open – now that we've cleared some space, we can reopen them for the weekend," said Ted Pullen, director of Louisville Metro Public Works and Assets. "Opening these three sites for the weekend gives people another option for clearing their yards."
The three dropoff sites will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, March 7 and Sunday, March 8:
· Hubbards Lane Public Works Facility, 595 Hubbards Lane
· Meriwether Public Works Facility, 600 Meriwether Ave.
· Behind the Southwest Government Center, 7219 Dixie Highway
(enter off St. Andrews Church Drive)
The dropoff sites are open to private citizens only; no businesses or contractors. Residents may drop off tree debris only; building materials, such as shingles, fencing and siding, will not be accepted.
The three dropoff sites will be staffed to help direct traffic. Residents wishing to dispose of debris after Sunday should use the Waste Reduction Center at 636 Meriwether.
No decisions have been made regarding whether the dropoff sites will be open again later. Pullen said that depended on a number of factors, including how quickly the sites fill up this weekend and the availability of extra crews to staff the sites.
Multiple agencies, including Public Works, Solid Waste Management, Metro Parks, MSD, and the Louisville Water Company, have dedicated crews of 3-5 workers each to curbside debris pickup. Currently, 24 crews are working throughout the city; crews are working 10-hour shifts, six days a week, with the option of working on Sundays.

Date a girl who can name five types of cheese off the top of her head. Date a girl who knows cheese like she knows her own soul. She passes up appetizers and heads straight for the cheese platters. Date a girl who knows cheese because she will always throw the best parties. She'll pour you a glass of sweet red wine and slice you the perfect length of aged gruyere. Expertly, she will top off her piece with a fresh tart raspberry. She will look blissful as she eats.
Date a girl who can name five types of cheese off the top of her head because she is full of passion. She's the girl who knows what she likes and isn't ashamed to ask for a larger wheel of parmesan. Sometimes, she stays up late eating cheese. It's a ritual she honors, because she knows in her heart the importance of cheese after a long, tiring day.
Then, one cold morning at 3am, you might find her alone in her living room, tears running down her soft cheek; she is unwrapping the last Laughing Cow wedge she could find in her fridge. There are too many crackers and not enough cheese. It is life's greatest tragedy, and she feels it more deeply than any other girl.
You'll hold her, and you'll tell her it's all right. Tomorrow, you'll buy her more cheese, because cheese is fucking delicious.
This. Except I'm the girl. Hold me, and give me cheese.
holy shit i didnt even think when i reblogged that too. I literally have the perfect girlfriend hahahahah
i'm from wisconsin. i know cheese, muthafucka

Someone is trying to break into my accounts (Gmail & Facebook), I thought of this: If he kindly asked me, I'd pass it to him/her without any doubt!
I have only three conditions: 1- No delete , 2- For a limited time we agree upon, & 3- Tell me what you've learned about me from what I have... this is an open invitation BTW :)

Jan 24 2013: Thanks a lot dear Mikko.
I have no clue about her/his motivation(s), but those trails were in the past..and I took it as an introduction to my call to re-define the privacy.
I'm really interested to hear from you about this "liquid concept" of privacy.
We have met during TEDGlobal, and we took picture together (I'm very proud of that), I translated your TEDtalks into Arabic, I use them to teach my students about Information security/privacy. I follow you on Twitter and learn from you a lot. I consider you as a "friend". But, Do you consider me as a "Friend"?
Nothing personal here...I just want to know how we define the term "friend" in the 21st century. Given that Facebook has put this label very generously to everyone.
The answer to this question might give me an insight about what "violating my friends' privacy" might mean.
Thanks in advance.

Tying the Debt to Jobs? Not So Fast
LINCOLN CITY, ORE. | Politicians like to make linkages. They like to take a problem they know everyone is worried about and tie it to something they have to handle. And so it is now with the debt ceiling and unemployment.
"Millions are looking for work, have been for some time, and the spending binge going on in Washington is a big part of the reason why," House http://www.patchworknation.org/node/add/blogSpeaker John Boehner said Monday night in his primetime rebuttal to President Obama's speech. He later said that fixing the debt ceiling crisis with more cuts would ultimately "help small businesses get back on track."
When you look at the country the way Patchwork Nation does -- through the struggles of individual communities -- that's a tough argument to make. There are many reasons to hate the national debt, particularly what it does to spending priorities, but the unemployment rate is not one of them.
As we have noted on this blog time and time again, the unemployment problem in the United States is deep and complicated. And fixing the economy is going to be all but impossible with manufacturing and construction sectors struggling. Getting the national debt under control is important -- and it's possible that the consequences of a continued stalemate in the next few days could hurt economic growth more broadly -- but at the moment a debt fix does little to help the unemployment problems in places like Lincoln City.
Walk and talk to people here on the Oregon Coast, and in small town Service Worker Centers like it around the country, and you get a sense of the problems.
Flat Is the New Up
Patchwork Nation has visited Lincoln City for more than three years now, and like other Service Worker Centers it has seen real struggles. People here sensed there were serious economic problems in 2008 before people in our other 12 county types did. And since then the unemployment rate has hovered consistently above the national average. It still sits at about 10 percent in Lincoln County according to state data, above the national average.
The map below shows national county unemployment rates for May (the latest numbers available).
On the whole, people here seem to feel a bit better about things. "Well, we are no longer in free-fall," says Kip Ward, owner of the Historic Anchor Inn. Ward is managing pretty well at the Anchor in part because his nightly rates -- $69 a room with breakfast -- appeal to budget travelers.
His food service deliveryman tells him the restaurants in town are doing OK, but they are selling a lot of cheaper things, like more pasta meals and less fish.
"Yeah, I think the feeling is at least its not getting worse," says Dan Draper, owner of Captain Dan's Pirate Pastry Shop. "But a lot of people are really struggling."
Desk people at hotels up and down U.S. 101, the main drag here, say things are essentially flat -- slightly up or down -- and that is flat as compared to a very tough 2010. Bartenders at the local Native American Casino, Chinook Winds, say things are slow. And one local upscale restaurant is on the air trying to drum up business by advertising lower prices.
Places here are essentially trying to keep their businesses going by keeping prices down. And while they are trying to make due, people shake their heads when you say the recession officially ended in 2009.
Washington's inability to get the debt problem resolved simply brings befuddled looks.
'How Long Can We Hang On'
Places like Lincoln City live and die on tourism, and fixing the debt, while important for the country, will mean little in terms of how much the wealthy folks from Portland and Salem spend while they are here. People here don't believe the national debt caused the Great Recession. Nor do they blame federal taxes. Federal tax rates are right where they were when times were good -- they have been the same since 2003.
And the small business owners here know things aren't going to suddenly get sunnier if the national debt is addressed in a serious fashion. The problem, they know, is much deeper.
"It's tough in rural America," says Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson. "There aren't a lot of choices when an industry goes bad. I'm convinced we are at the bottom, but I'm not convinced we are going to bounce back. ... Now the question is how long can we hang on."
That's the question in a lot of small-town Service Worker Centers and it creates tensions that can bubble up even in a small town where people know each other.
At a city council meeting this week a heated argument erupted when members of the city council said they were angry with how the local Visitor and Convention Bureau handed out local grants. The fight lacked the grand drama of the debt ceiling battle on Capitol Hill, but it showed how tense the argument over finances is getting at many different levels of government.
And, truthfully, that city council fight probably had a much more direct impact on Lincoln City's small businesses and unemployment rate than Washington's debt ceiling morass.
None of this is to say the debt and the debt ceiling debate aren't serious issues. They are.
But as 2012 approaches the real issue creating hardship in many corners of Patchwork Nation continues to be unemployment. That problem is not driven by the debt. And fixing it is likely going to be much harder than finding a compromise to pay bills the government already owes.

This week, Terri Adams of Sikeston volunteered her iPhone 4 to try two gadgets: the Callet Wallet and Opena Case. One turns your smart phone into a wallet; the other allows you to open bottles with its pop-out bottle opener.
Terri has no issues slipping on the Callet Wallet. She notices it's a tight-fit for some of her credit cards. In all, she can fit about two cards into each slot, so that's four total. A wad of cash would probably also slide in the slots. She's pleased with this snug-fit, saying that would ensure your credit cards or cash would not slide out.
"I hate carrying a purse. This would easily slide on and off, allowing me to pop it on my phone, throw in my cash, and dash into a store. I really like it. I'd definitely give it an 'A," said Terri.
I'll make the final call on that and agree with an 'A', since the $20 cost seems right in line with other smart phone cases. You can buy it online at:
Next, we have a sturdy case specifically for the iPhone 4 or 4s that has a pop-out bottle opener. Terri has no trouble popping open four bottles of root beer. She's pleased it, too, has openings built-in where your phone charger and other accessories can still function. It also does not cover up the phone's camera lens, just as the Callet Wallet does not. However, she's not sure she'd use this enough to justify the $30 or $40 price tag we've seen fluctuate so much on different sites.
"It works. It's sturdy. It's fun, but I think a beer vendor at Busch Stadium is about the only person who would get enough use out of this!," she laughed, "However, I do think it's one of those fun gadget gifts you can get someone who has everything!"
We're both concerned though if this is a good idea to open a beer or soda with something so close to your electronics? We ask cell repair and salesman Allen Whitaker of Velosity Electronics in Cape Girardeau.
"It's risky business doing that. If you're cheering or jostling around as you open a beer or soda with your iPhone opener, you really run the risk of spills and damage. I"am not a fan," he said.
Meantime, the company said on its web site they allowed enough room in between the opener and your phone to allow some flexibility if your drink fizzes over.
"I'd say, given that, let's go with a B minus," said Terri.
Agreed! Cheers to a final grade B minus on this Does it Work test. You can buy this in different colors for your iPhone 4 at http://www.openacase.com/ .

DIVAS: Catching up with Danielle Crist Carruth
Danielle Crist Carruth
Mom (of three), Sun Valley SnowSports School Ski Instructor, DIVAS Program Co-Founder
As part of an ongoing Winter Profile series featuring real mountain divas–who are living and working and loving life in the mountains–we caught up with former Alaskan heli ski guide, wife, mother of three, DIVAS Program co-founder (along with Nicky Biddle Elsbree) and longtime Sun Valley SnowSports School ski instructor veteran Danielle Crist Carruth on Baldy last week. Here is what she had to say about life in the mountains.
First Run in the A.M.? On a powder day, a quick run down Plaza (Picabo's Street) before they open the bowls is always in order.
Last Run of the Day? For me, the end of the day is made for poking around in all the little tree stashes that haven't been found. And there are plenty of them…
Favorite Run on a Sunny Day? Sunny spring skiing is my favorite. Corn snow in the bowls is just tough to beat.
Best Run on Baldy? Any day you are spending a lot of time on the cold springs double chair is a good one in my book, as you really can't beat the lower bowls when conditions are right.
Favorite Lunch Spot? I love the Club House (as it is affectionately called by locals; but marked on trail maps as Lookout Lodge, at the top of Baldy), and secretly hope they never rebuild it. This is followed closely by Fondue on the deck of Roundhouse on a sunny spring day.
First Memory on Skis? Squaw Valley. Wooden Hart skis. Girls in bikinis. Picnic lunching in the granite cliffs on a sunny spring day with family friends.
Who First Got You on Skis? Same person who taught my brothers (former Olympians and X-Games competitors Reggie and Zach Crist) and all of our children: My dad Roger Crist, aka Poppa.
When did you learn to ski? I was 2 years old. It was "trial by fire" in my family. If you couldn't keep up, you were left in the lodge with a coloring book for hours. Sometimes that was preferable!
Favorite Memory on Skis? Hard to pick just one, but my favorite days are the ones when you head up without a plan just because you know the skiing is going to be great and you run into just the right people in just the right places … and you are just part of all that great energy that surrounds an amazing day on Baldy.
Favorite Off-Mountain Activity? Nothing beats hanging out with my family, whether it's on the mountain, in the living room, or road tripping to Moab or California.
Do you have a skiing or mountain obsession (something you couldn't live without)? My neck gator. Or my buff in the springtime. I can't ski without my neck garb. Really.
Why Sun Valley–what do you love about it? I love the people. There are places with more snow and more gnarly terrain, but there is no place where you can get as much vertical in a day than here. And there is no place with better people to ski it with.
What is Your Passion? I have to admit I'm pretty passionate about skiing. It sounds simple, but I get a lot of pleasure out of shredding great lines with good friends or helping someone else appreciate this sport as much as I do. I'm incredibly passionate about spending time with my family and friends. There are, of course, lots of ways to do that, but skiing tends to be a pretty good one … and probably my favorite.
What is your job on the mountain? I am a Sun Valley SnowSports School ski instructor. I have been doing this job, and loving it, since college (during Christmas break). So, forever.
What is the Best Part about your job? I love getting people fired up about skiing and the mountain lifestyle. I think we are incredibly lucky to be able to live here and raise our kids here and play here with such quality people. If just a little of that great energy can rub off on someone else, then that's not a bad way to make the world a better place.

Being Honest Costs WBNI-FM Roanoke, IN $10K
The bad news...the violation will cost the station $10K. The good news...the station will get to keep its license. On the license renewal form stations are required to certify they have the required documentation in the public file. WBNI answered "No" to that certification, for 2009-2011, with an explanation attached, blaming the failure to follow the rules on management turnover. The station said it was also trying to recreate the missing information.
At the time of license renewal, the station file did not contain any of the missing information and it was fined $10,000. The commission called the violations extensive, citing the two years of missing issues/programs lists. The commission decided to grant the station its license renewal because: the commission found that, "the station has served the public interest, convenience, and necessity; there have been no serious violations of the Act or the Rules; and there have been no other violations which, taken together, constitute a pattern of abuse." The commission went on to say, "if the licensee fails to meet that standard, the Commission may deny the application after notice and opportunity for a hearing under Section 309(e) of the Act or grant the application on terms and conditions that are appropriate, including a renewal for a term less than the maximum otherwise permitted. We find that Licensees apparent violations of Section 73.3527 of the Rules do not constitute serious violations warranting designation for evidentiary hearing. Moreover, we find no evidence of violations that, when considered together, evidence a pattern of abuse."

The Great Recession pushed suicide rates higher
A new report finds a marked increase in men who took their own lives as the financial crisis took away jobs.
That sense of despair many of us felt as the great recession deepened several years ago was apparently too much for a lot of people. An international study of data from over 50 countries concludes that suicides climbed markedly -- particularly in Europe and the Americas -- after the economic crisis started in 2008.
Researchers from Hong Kong, Britain and Taiwan examined suicide reports from around the world, along with information on GDP and unemployment figures supplied by the World Health Organization, the International Monetary Fund and the Centers for Disease Control.
Their results, recently published in the British Medical Journal's BMJ.com website, attributed nearly 5,000 suicides in 2009 to the recession. They said these deaths "appear to be associated with the magnitude of increases in unemployment, particularly for men and in countries with low unemployment levels before the crisis."
Researchers noted the greatest increase of suicides in the Americas was seen in men ages 45 to 64, while in Europe the largest jump was for young men between 15 and 24 years old.
"Unemployment appears to lead to an increase in anxiety and depression -- two psychiatric symptoms that might be intermediate steps toward suicide," Robert Dicker, associate director of the division of child and adolescent psychiatry at North Shore-LIJ, in New Hyde Park, N.Y., told HealthDay News regarding the report. "More unemployment, more family distress, more losses (of status and friends) also most likely are involved."
The increased rates of suicides among middle-aged men in the U.S., he added, is also significant.
"At a developmental time when one should be settled and comfortable (with) plans for the future and retirement before them," Dr. Dicker said, "the stress wrought by the economic crisis appears to be even more stressful for this age group. With decreased available money, people may be even more reluctant to seek evaluations and treatment from mental-health providers."
And even as the global economy appears to be limping toward recovery, the study's researchers say the risk of people harming themselves over growing financial burdens hasn't decreased.
Government austerity programs in many countries, they note, are "resulting in further job losses, posing additional suicide risks. Urgent action is needed to prevent the economic crisis leading to further increases in suicides."
I grew up in a small town where there some really good people. Since most of us had the same religion, it was easy to know the people around you. I always felt happy and my parents were always more on the happy side. I compare it to what it is like now and there is a huge difference. You know, even the church members seem to care less about each other. It is a dog eat dog world. So, when bad times hit, it often feels like there isn't much to live for. Politics stink really bad. They fight to the point of driving people crazy! I hear all these christian people going on and on but it doesn't come from their cold hearts. We need hope and if people began to care more about others, it would bring the hope we need to make it through the bad times.
This all shows where these countries are "failing" In Europe, because of free education, getting into universities is very competitive and only the best get to go. Those young men who killed themselves were probably tested into a trade school and in many European countries those kind of jobs were the ones disappearing. So these young men knew once they left the trade school they would be without work.
In the US, the fact that men were killing themselves right before retirement shows that US citizens are very much afraid of life after work. There is no safety net for seniors or the elderly. People with alzheimers even have to figure out how to care for themselves because no one is going to want to help them. The men that killed themselves probably did so out of fear of being a burden to their families in their old age with very little monetary resources.
There are so many movies and documentaries about what we are in Netflix, such as Ram Dass,
Budda, I am, Ama, etc. etc.
I believe our life is like a dew but so precious , only ONE in 6.5 billion.
Wait a few months, it will get worse. Permanent solutions to temporary problems or the new normal?
At least you won't be impacted by Obama-care!!!!!!!!!

A special invitation to 500 under-privileged children from youth organizations, schools, churches, and children-support agencies in the Greater Tucson area will be attending this special day of giving.
Santa and Mrs. Claus will arrive at 11:00 am to greet the children. Each child that has pre-selected will receive one of five-hundred (500) bicycles that we are planning to give away, along with a bike safety helmet provided by Tucson Medical Center of the Children's Miracle Network
The bicycles will remain in the box so that the parents or guardians can, together with the child, assemble the bicycle in promoting the true Christmas spirit and teaching the children the basic assembly and adjustments to their new bike.
There are many children in Tucson that may not enjoy the special occasion that Christmas should bring to all. Christmas should be remembered as a time of giving to help those in need.
Lugo Charities Inc. dba Bike In A Box is a 501(C) (3) non-profit organization which assist underprivileged children, so your contribution is tax deductible. Please click on the donation link as we would appreciate your support to make this a successful event to many children in need.
Merry Christmas! Jesse Lugo
