I love Thanksgiving so, so very much. It combines a few of my favorite pastimes: overeating, drinking heavily, not doing anything, punching family members in the face. If we could figure out a way to transfer Thanksgiving to the parking lot at Miller Park in mid-August this would be the greatest holiday of all. It still is (why? none of that whiny God shit), but that would make it just that much better like a finger in your asshole during a blowjob. I mean, ummm.... I just... uhh, ummm yeah. So ANYWAYS, Thanksgiving is awesome and I like to consider myself an expert in the holiday. Do I know how to cook turkey and do stuff with the gizard and whatnot? Fuck no. I know how to make this holiday legendary. I know how to turn Thanksgiving into Thanksfuckingyeahgiving. Want to have an awesome holiday? Tired of deciding to go to the movies because you are so bored? Tired of pretending to care about a Cowboys game or using mock outrage that you don't get the NFL Network? Miller Park Drunk is here to guide you through the greatest holiday of them all. Continue reading →

The final weekend
So, this is it. Our last chance to go to Miller Park. It seems like only yesterday I was doing a countdown to Opening Day, telling you what not to wear and how to drink. Now? It's all over. If you haven't been to a game in awhile and want to get one last one in, stubhub has some truly crazy deals on tickets right now (Terrace for $.50, Field Infield Box for $15, Loge Infield for $10, Loge Diamond Box for $10, tons of deals). They might win, they might not. Doesn't really matter. Miller Park is a great place just to hang out. If you don't have faith in the team on the field just stay in the parking lot for the first four innings. I can't say I've never done it and I know you'll have a good time because it's ALWAYS a good time. Personally, I am happy with my last game of the season being Wednesday's game (and not just because I'm still hungover.) I got to see Prince go yard, a starting pitcher actually do a good job and Trevor Time. I can't think of a better way to remember this season than that (outside of flipping The Happy Youngster over the railing into the bullpen).
Speaking of my last game, something really weird happened at it: I met some readers and they were happy about it. "It's a pleasure to meet you" they said. My only reply? "Really? Seriously? You're kidding right?" I'm glad that people read this blog and I'm more glad that the people who read it really like it, but let's face the facts. I'm just another douchebag who spills his beer on a pregnant chick. Nothing to get excited about.
Anyways, enjoy the weekend gang. I'll be back Monday with more stuff, just like I'll be back every week all winter long. Just because the Brewers will be gone doesn't mean I suddenly have important stuff to do. Quite the opposite.

Despite what Walk Off Walk says, I am no corporate overlord
Hello there Walk Off Walk reader, how are you doing today? I see that you have found us via the website Walk Off Walk and their popular post "Miller Park Drunk Sells Out to Corporate Overlords from Chicago".
I just wanted to say hello and tell you a few things about myself. My name is Chad Trixie and I work in some sort of financial field. I am from the suburb of Schaumburg, but prefer to tell everyone (especially at the Big Ten college I attended) that I am from Chicago. I drive a Range Rover, which I am thinking of trading in for one of those hybrids. My favorite Cub of all time is without a doubt Ryne Sandberg. I, perhaps ironically(?), enjoy drinking Old Style even when I am not at games and I'm definitely not afraid to show up at work hungover. I'm just a regular guy.
Despite what you might think about me I am not a "corporate overlord" in this to make money. I just enjoy writing about baseball and thought this blog would be a good way to do it. In a lot of ways I am like the Cubs ownership in that I am committed to winning. I spent what it took to acquire this blog and I might lose some money, but I come from money so it's not like I need this to support myself, my dad made enough money for me to never work again which allows me to express myself creatively.
So don't expect the website to immediately turn into an ad factory. It will still be the same old Miller Park Drunk you have known and loved. I just might write about the Cubs a little bit too. If you don't like it, don't read it. Simple as that.
Before I go I just wanted to say that everyone should check out this Acai berry website. I have personally been taking this and in the past six months I have lost 45 pounds, gotten smarter and grew three inches in my pants (if you catch my drift.) Acai berry changed my life. Let it change yours.

GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) The Green Bay Packers have added a blocking tight end, after free-agent Matthew Mulligan agreed to a one-year contract yesterday. The fifth-year pro was waived by the Saint Louis Rams last month. He'll reportedly make just over the veterans' minimum of 715-thousand dollars.
Mulligan reportedly chose Green Bay over San Francisco because of a higher offer for guaranteed money. The Packers needed a true blocker at the tight end position, after losing Tom Crabtree to Tampa Bay in free agency.
The 28-year-old Mulligan played in all 16 games in each of his last two seasons with the Rams. Last year, he had career-highs with nine starts, eight catches for 84 yards, and one touchdown. And like Crabtree, Mulligan also played on special teams. He has also been a back-up long snapper. He has 50 career receptions for 144 yards and a score.

Citizenship Promotion Act of 2007: An Important Step Towards Addressing Barriers to Citizenship
March 07, 2007
Washington, DC – Today, the Citizenship Promotion Act of 2007 was introduced in both Houses of Congress. The bill, if enacted, would reexamine the recently-announced fee increases for citizenship processing at USCIS and reexamine the process by which fees are charged for immigration-related processing. The following is a statement from Frank Sharry, Executive Director of the National Immigration Forum, a pro-immigrant advocacy organization in Washington.
We applaud the Senators and Representatives who have introduced the Citizenship Promotion Act of 2007 and urge its passage. We have been increasingly concerned about barriers to citizenship erected in recent years and particularly alarmed by the recent announcement of large fee increases. This legislation will ensure progress towards a fair fee structure for immigrants seeking citizenship, eliminate bureaucratic obstacles and delays that prevent some from becoming citizens, and provide needed Congressional oversight on this important government service in the future.
Applying for and being granted citizenship is the ultimate expression of faith in America as immigrants embrace our culture and values and seek the ultimate American Dream. Citizenship has always been a cornerstone of our immigration system and the golden ring to which most immigrants aspire.
Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) and Representative Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) in particular have demonstrated leadership on this issue, but all of the original co-sponsors in the House and Senate are to be praised for their vision. Immigrant families struggling to make a way for themselves in this country and integrate into American communities may not know these leaders yet, but they will have them to thank when this legislation becomes law.

Load a Buddypress Group By ID
To help with the integration of Buddypress with a third-party system, I need to create a page which can take an ID as a parameter and load the associated buddypress group. For example:
/page.php?id=5 would load the group with the ID of 5
I have not been able to achieve this despite trying many approaches. Any help would be much appreciated!

LOS ANGELES, CA - JUNE 8: Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman with her husband Griffith Harsh (R) waves to supporters at her primary night party at the Universal Hilton Hotel June 8, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. Whitman, the former chief executive of eBay, won the Republican gubernatorial primary with a wide lead over her nearest competitor Steve Poizner. (Photo by Michal Czerwonka/Getty Images)
Billionaires, led by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, have begun taking a public pledge to give at least half of their fortunes to charity. California's Republican gubernatorial nominee, Meg Whitman, herself a billionaire, said she won't be going along.
Whitman's attitude on this makes me wonder if the campaign is posing the right question about her. Democrats are always accusing her of trying to buy elections. But in an America with a Supreme Court that equates speech with money, every election is an auction of some sort.
No, the real question is about her values and public-spiritedness. Whitman is spending more than $100 million to win an elected office. It's far from clear that all that money is really necessary to obtain the office. And it's certainly true that there are plenty of other members of her own political party that could do the job. In other words, by any moral standard, Whitman's presence in the governor's office isn't essential.
But she is one of the few people in the world with the power to give away $100 million or more. Think of all the people and charitable institutions that could be helped by the money Whitman is spending on the campaign.
Instead, Whitman is giving to her charities of choice: California TV stations and the political professionals who work on her campaign. It's a selfish choice.

@Grey's 1
Shonda needs to make amends with isaiah and bring him back
What has SR to make amends for .IW got sacked for gross misconduct
And this is a guy with a long track record of misconduct on sets .Grey's was his third strike
He is a violent,homophobic,sexually inapropriate bully with severe anger management issues .He conducted a campaign against the network in an attempt to make himself a victim ,which rather than owning up to what he did is still currently doing .
He also accused Jim Pickens of being an Uncle Tom because he didn't get in the faces of others on set.
ABC/Disney(and I dont see any other network rushing out to get him on board either) wouldn't touch this guy with a barge pole as he is a law suit waiting to happen.
Wow really? Because he has some definate personal opinions that are not popular, that makes him not worthy of Grey' Anatomy? He's an actor. And a good one. And he needs to come back because Owen and Christina never worked as a couple. Never. They keep forcing this relationship down our throats, but it NEVER worked. Burke was Christina's balance. Her mentor. He was the male version of her. Yin to Yang. She has grown, evolved and it would be just so intriguing to revist that relationship years later when she is trying to emerge from all her trauma as a surgeon and interact with the one person that truly believed in her as a surgeon, that open her up and made her vulnerable as a woman. As must as you might detest IW, Preston Burke was a genius of a character on Grey's.
Thank you DJ! What people fail to realize is that IW is a great actor. I rather watch him as Preston Burke than the rest of the actors on Grey's. I really believe that Shonda should squash the beef and ask him to come back for a special guest role. Do you know the ratings would sky high.lol KMK will never compare to IW. It is what it is. People disagree all the time. Why can't Shonda bring him back.KMK is so boring.He tries too hard as an actor sometimes.
Grey's 1
I already said ,It's nothing to do with 'a personal beef '.ABC will not have him on the show and they pay the bills not Shonda.
Disney has employment policies about the stuff he pulled ,he violated them and was fired .He then spent the next year pursuing the network thru the courts ,and badmouthing the company,the show and various cast members .IW is toxic and NO NETWORK WILL EMPLOY HIM.Whether you think he is a talented actor or not his on set behaviour , his lack of self restraint and inability to keep his trap shut have put him in the position he finds himself in no one else .And still he doesn't think he did anything wrong as in his latest book he is still trying to portray himself a a victim.
He had previous with on set antics .He hit a production assistant on one show and was fired STRIKE ONE
He got handsy with a female co-star .When she complained he started screaming in her face .When the director and the the producer tried to intervene he then started screaming at them .The police then had to be called to physically remove him from the set .Fired again STRIKE TWO
Grey's was STRIKE THREE
Thats a pattern and thats down to him. Or is Shonda (and apparently me for being mean and pointing it out) to blame for a decade of bad behaviour
ok ok.lol It's not that serious.He still made Grey's sucessful hands down. So he's the Malcolm x of tv so what.lol What he said was wrong,but I bet PD said something snarky. He thinks he's the best actor in the world as it is. He's very cocky about Greys. I'll be glad when he leaves! He doesn't want to be there anywhere. All he does is Nascar Nascar.lol
Kevin McKidd is great, he is a native Scotsman doing an American accent. At one point I would have loved to have seen the character of Burke come back, now after 4 years without him no, I love the fact that Cristina is in love with her husband, she has always respected Owen, from the very beginning she has called Owen, Owen. With Preston Burke, the whole time they were dating and living together even on their wedding day Cristina always called him Burke, I remember one episode the boys went out to the woods to go fishing, and Cristina mentions to Izzie that boys called Preston don't go out to the bush. Owen has alway been Owen, Cristina went out and bought them the firehouse for them, then she went out and bought furniture to decorate set firehouse, as a home for her and Owen to live in as husband and wife.
So Preston Burke won't be back. Owen and Cristina will work through her mother/baby issues we will just have to wait for Season 8 to return in September.
I would love for Preston Burke to return because Cristina needs closure from her relationship with Burke. She needs to fully move on and focus on her marriage to Owen but she needs to close that chapter in her love life. "Burke was- He took something from me. He took little pieces of me, little pieces over time, so small I didn't even notice, you know? He wanted me to be something I wasn't, and I made myself into what he wanted. One day I was me Cristina Yang, and then suddenly I was lying for him, and jeopardizing my career, and agreeing to be married and wearing a ring, and being a bride. Until I was standing there in a wedding dress with no eyebrows, and I wasn't Cristina Yang anymore. And even then, I would've married him. I would have. I lost myself for a long time. And now that I'm finally me again, I can't. I love you. I love you more than I loved Burke. I love you. And that scares the crap out of me because when you asked me to ignore Teddy's page, you took a piece of me, and I let you. And that will never happen again." Even Teddy is Cristina's dream attending, she needs closure with her past attending who happens to be her ex-fiance.
No Cristina just needs to be Cristina and be the best cardio surgeon she can be and that is because Burke, Hahn and Teddy have all taught Cristina how to be a great Cardio surgeon, she doesn't need to be taught anymore, she now needs to be the teacher and teach new interns all what she has learnt, and Burke does not need to come back for that, Cristina has had closure she is married to Owen, if she still loved Burke she would have said no to Owen and she would still be single, Cristina had the wedding of her dreams, no church, no mother, no white dress, it was Cristins'a perfect day.
Everyone should have there dream about Burke coming back, but in reality it's not g to happen, Isiah Washington can not take back what he said and you can't unhire someone who has been fired, it's very unethical.
I did not like Burke's character at all. He was too distant and I could not even see him in a relationship with Christina. I think she really just liked him as a surgeon. Their relationship was odd and they had nothing in common besides surgeries which is why George was so much of a friend to Burke. Christina only admired him. He was about status and she was about get it.
it's so funny that someone was asking when is preston burke comming back, because I was just thinking that when Patrick Dempsey leaves (ie, is pushed out) that will mean that SR has successfully eliminated every cast member that was involved in the rows that forced IW's sacking (Katherine, TR and now PD). SR has had a clear agenda to get rid of everyone who survived that fight, because she clearly favoured IW.

MUSCLE SHOALS — His elbow was throbbing and Stuart Clark said the rest of his body wasn't in much better shape as the University of North Alabama golf team coach headed to Cypress Lakes Golf Course last Monday for a PGA Dixie Section pro-member tournament.
Why the aches and pains? Clark and his wife sold their house and the night before the tournament was spent moving furniture and the rest of the chores associated with moving from one place to another. Also, at 37 years old, it takes a little while for the body to loosen up.
Clark's pre-round preparation consisted of hitting about 30 practice shots and jumping in the cart for a quick ride to the third tee, where he and playing partners Nick Agee and Cory Murks were starting their day.
Less than four hours later, Clark tapped in a 1-inch putt for a course-record 12-under-par 59 on the par 71 municipal layout. Fifty-nine is the holy grail of golf scores, dreamed about by everyone who grips it and rips it, yet achieved by only a handful of players.
David Duval is the proud owner of a 59 in tournament play. So is Annika Sorenstam and Paul Goydos. Tiger Woods has never done it in a tournament. Neither has Phil Mickelson or Jack Nicklaus.
"It was totally unexpected," Clark said Monday, a week after bringing the 6,182-yard course (from the white markers) to its knees on a breezy, overcast day.
"We had to be out of the house, so we spent all day Sunday moving," Clark said. "I really didn't think I'd play very well."
Clark, a former All-America golfer at UNA, has logged plenty of rounds at Cypress Lakes and is always capable of producing a low score. He's shot 61 three times, including twice at Cypress Lakes.
Clark's round included an eagle, 11 birdies and one bogey.
"It was pretty exciting to watch him," Agee said. "As it went along, I was probably as nervous as he was. We were both shooting around par but mostly just trying to stay out of his way."
Clark started his round with four straight birdies before stalling a 3-putt bogey on the difficult seventh hole, a long par 3 over water. He quickly regrouped with birdies and Nos. 8-9.
Clark holed a ticklish downhill 5-footer on the ninth. "That putt was so fast," he said. "I just touched it and it went in."
Clark moved to 6-under with a birdie at No. 11, another short par 4. It wasn't until No. 14 when things really got interesting.
He holed a 4-footer for a birdie there and then drove the green at the short 15th hole. When he curled in a 20-footer for eagle to get to 9-under, Clark said he started to think about his score. "When that went in, I thought, 'I've got this pro-am,' " Clark said. "Up until that point, we were just having a good time, joking around and playing golf."
"That's when I started counting up his score," Agee said. "I didn't know if he was thinking about it or not."
It got real serious when Clark canned a 15-footer on No. 16 to get to 10-under.
The par-3 17th and par-4 18th holes are among the toughest at Cypress Lakes and both were playing into the wind, not that it mattered.
Clark made a 15-footer on No. 17 and added a 4-footer on No. 18 to reach 12-under.
"I was trying not to get too excited," he said. "I'm 37 years old, and I've been playing for 32 years. You don't get too many opportunities to do something like that in golf. I was 12 under. That's the magic number on a par-71 course."
Clark played conservatively on the final two holes, hitting irons off the tee on both holes. He needed a 10-foot par saver on No. 1 to keep the round going and drained it. His bid for 58 on the final hole came up an inch short.
"It didn't set in right away," he said. "I tell my team that most of the time in golf I don't win much. It's usually disappointment. For one day, it was God telling me that it was going to be my day."

When you reach the age of 16, you can go to your local Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) and apply for a Learner's Permit with the following requirements:
Upon submission of your application at the RMV, you will be required to take the following tests:
The written test can be reviewed in the Massachusetts Driver's Manual. If you pass the test, you will now be able to get your Massachusetts Learner's Permit. If you are ready to start practice driving you will need to be accompanied by a licensed driver who is 21-years-old. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to drive between 12 am and 5 am unless your parent or guardian accompanies you.
What Do You Need to Get a Massachusetts Driver's License?
After six months of driving with the Learner's Permit, you can now apply for the Massachusetts Graduated License Program. To apply for the Massachusetts Provisional driver's license, before heading to your local Massachusetts RMV, you will need to have the following requirements:
If you have completed the above requirements, you can now take the road exam at your local Massachusetts RMV. If you pass the exam, you can get the Massachusetts Junior Operator's driver's license. However, you will have restrictions until you become eligible for your Massachusetts Class D driver's license.
The following are the restrictions that you need to remember when driving with your Massachusetts Junior Operator Driver's license:
Minimum Massachusetts Auto Insurance Coverage & Penalties
After receiving your Massachusetts driver's license, you are now free to drive alone. However, you should know that every vehicle registered in Massachusetts must have a minimum of liability insurance coverage. The following is the coverage of the insurance:
If you are driving and have an accident in Massachusetts without the mandatory liability insurance, you could be fined or your driver's license could be suspended.
As a new driver, you should learn driver safety. In Massachusetts, there is certain law that applies to drunk driving. If you violate this law, you will face the following penalties on the first conviction:
Furthermore, Massachusetts DUI convictions will sometimes result in community service, drivers license suspension, or even license revocation. In Massachusetts, there is no law prohibiting teen drivers from using cell phones while driving. Like any other state, Massachusetts practices a Zero Tolerance Law for drunk driving.

The Impact of the Cato Institute
For over 30 years, the Cato Institute has worked to change the climate of ideas. The cumulative effect of this effort is real impact today. Here's how Cato puts Sponsors' contributions to work.
I present you Robert Laszewski's magnificent take on ObamaCare and Wisconsin, Democrats and Republicans.
There's been a factoid making the rounds during the Wisconsin union standoff that you may have seen. I'm not sure what the ultimate source of the factoid is, but here's the meat of it as reiterated by a blogger for The Economist:
Only 5 states do not have collective bargaining for educators and have deemed it illegal. Those states and their ranking on ACT/SAT scores are as follows:
South Carolina – 50th
North Carolina – 49th
Georgia – 48th
Texas – 47th
Virginia – 44th
If you are wondering, Wisconsin, with its collective bargaining for teachers, is ranked 2nd in the country.
Now, aside from the factoid, if true, providing no real insight into whether collective bargaining is good or bad for education – there are myriad variables at work other than collective bargaining, none of which does this control for – but the factoid itself is highly dubious. Again, it is hard to find the original source for this, but I looked up 2009 ACT and SAT state rankings, and at the very least it seems highly unlikely that Virginia ranks 44th out of all states. According to the ACT ranking, for instance, Virginia places 22nd, and on the SAT (assuming the linked to list is accurate – I'm doing this fast), it ranked 33rd. It's hard to see how those would be combined for a 44th place overall finish.
How about the Wisconsin second place-finish? Well, that is accurate for the SAT, but notably only 5 percent of Wisconsin students took the SAT – a negligible rate. On the ACT, which is the main test taken in the Badger State, Wisconsin finished 13th – not bad, but hardly great.
So what does this tell you? Not that collective bargaining is educationally good or bad – like I said, you just can't get there from here – but that you have to be very careful about your sources of information. Unfortunately, that seems especially true when you're dealing with education.
As Scott Walker in Wisconsin and other governors try to rein in the soaring costs of government employee pay and pensions, the Cato study "Vallejo Con Dios: Why Public Sector Unionism Is a Bad Deal for Taxpayers and Representative Government" takes on new relevance. Here's the executive summary:
High rates of unionization in the public sector have led to very high labor costs in the form of generous collective bargaining contracts. Now state and local governments are under increasing financial pressure, as a worsening national economy has led to decreased revenues for states and municipalities—many of which remain locked into the generous contracts negotiated in more flush times. Thus, as businesses retrench, governments find themselves in a financial straitjacket. In addition, as government unions grow stronger relative to private-sector unions, their prevalence erodes the moderating influence of the market on the demands that unions make of employers.
Now, as an economic downturn threatens state and local government revenues, officials who want to keep their fiscal situations under control would do well to look skeptically at public-sector bargaining—especially since the existing political checks on it have proven ineffective. Public officials should eschew public-sector bargaining when possible, or at the very least, seek to limit its scope.
As keepers of the public purse, legislators and local council members have an obligation to protect taxpayers' interests. By granting monopoly power to labor unions over the supply of government labor, elected officials undermine their duty to taxpayers, because this puts unions in a privileged position to extract political goods in the form of high pay and benefits that are much higher than anything comparable in the private sector.
This paper shows how the unionization of government employees creates a powerful, permanent constituency for bigger government— one that is motivated, well-funded, and organized. It also makes some recommendations as to how to check this constituency's growing power—an effort that promises to be an uphill struggle.
Indeed it does. The study makes another point that is worth keeping in mind during these battles. Many discussions of government unions, such as this one on Friday's Newshour, tacitly or explicitly assume that we're talking about teachers, police officers, and firefighters. But the study notes:
Of course, while these "heroic" public servants are the ones who are most visible in public disputes over collective bargaining, a large number of unionized state and local employees fall into more mundane categories such as secretaries, middle managers, engineers, administrative law judges, school custodians, and cafeteria workers.

BEIJING (UPI) — A volcano on the border of China and North Korea is showing signs of increasing activity and could erupt in the next few decades, Chinese researchers say.
A massive eruption of Changbaishan around 1,100 years ago spread ash and volcanic gases for 30 miles and left a 3-mile-wide crater atop the volcano, scientists said.
Three smaller eruptions have occurred since then, the most recent in 1903, they said.
Seismic activity, ground deformation and gas emissions recorded in a period of heightened activity from 2002 to 2006 suggests the magma chamber beneath the volcano is growing.
This activity suggests an explosion could occur in the next couple of decades, researchers said.
"We need to upgrade our current monitoring system in order to be able to meet the need for the early warning system for Changbaishan," Jiandong Xu, a vulcanologist at the China Earthquake Administration in Beijing, told OurAmazingPlanet.
Of the dozen or so volcanoes located in mainland China Changbaishan is the most likely to experience an eruption with potential catastrophic effects, Xu said.

so money + women = happiness jc? ye i dont think so
you're fucking retarded. money and women does equal happiness. with both, i would take 'her' to a western european city with good art, wine, cheese, weather, etc., and eat great food and basically hang out doing whatever we felt liked, like horseback riding, hang-gliding, or lawn bowling, then go to 5-star hotels to bang, then eat room service steak and wine, then bang again, then have my arms around her as we walked through dark streets sharing sorbet and kisses, and i'd smell her hair, each strand fiery under a gas lamp a tendril weaving some sinus net forever catching every unhappy sigh, my lament silenced, for i would be happy, you dork ass."

BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) -- Nobody could ever blame Heather Abbott if she just wanted to be left alone, but that's not Heather.
Heather has been on the cover of People Magazine and celebrities like Beyonce, James Taylor and the first lady visit her.
She lives in Newport, Rhode Island and is 38 years old. She grew up in Lincoln, Rhode Island and went to Stonehill College for her undergraduate degree and then to Providence College for her MBA.
On the day of the marathon, Heather, and a group of friends were celebrating a tradition. Patriots Day in Boston; they went to the Red Sox game and then Boylston Street for the marathon finish. On her way into the Forum Restaurant, she heard the first explosion.
"I think as this time of the year is approaching it's kind of reminding me what I was doing last year at this time and kind of realizing that I had such a short time left with my two legs," she said.
Heather lost her left leg below the knee, a life changer for anyone.
Especially an active runner, swimmer, paddle boarder, kickboxer, and zumba-ist. Months after the bombing, while still in the hospital, Heather gave us all a reason to cheer out loud. She debuted her new prosthetic leg, in 4 inch heels.
"It was part of getting back to the person I am, so it was really important to me and I think its great that people ask me all the time if they meet me, they will say, do you have the high heel on?" she said.
She makes it look easy, but it's anything but. Psychical therapy is like a second job. There's challenges you would expect, and some you might not. Cobblestone streets, groceries and getting up for a drink of water at night are more difficult now.
It's that kind of determination that has made Heather somewhat of a celebrity herself. She sat down with our Ted Daniel and some people recognized her and offered words of support.
"Someone like this really handles it well and really uses it to help other people. I don't know if you can make it better than essentially what she's doing," Rick Brandariz of Portsmouth said.
And it doesn't hurt to have a drink named after you. At the Midtown Oyster Bar in Newport they serve "Heather's Tail." It consists of vodka, prosecco and a few other interesting ingredients.
If you visit Newport this summer you may see Heather running, paddle boarding or just hanging out with friends. If she's not around she's probably somewhere sharing her story, or counseling other amputees.
"I'm not going to change my life because of what happened, I'm really determined not to do that," she said.
That determination is what defines Heather Abbott. She is Boston Strong.

Characterization of Priors in the Stein Problem
AbstractThe so-called Stein problem is addressed in the estimation of a mean vector of a multivariate normal distribution with a known covariance matrix. For general prior distributions with sphericity, the paper derives conditions on priors under which the resulting generalized Bayes estimators are minimax. It is also shown that the conditions can be expressed based on the inverse Laplace transform of the general prior. The relationsip between Stein's super-harmonic condition and the general conditions is discussed. Finally, a characterization of the priors for the admissibility is given, and admissible and minimax estimators are developed.

All Aboard for This Lake Tahoe Wedding
Jessica Painter and Michael Clifton exchanged their vows up in the Tahoe mountains this fall. The couple and their wedding party took full advantage of the nearby water and went on a boatride to the wedding location. The lake shore provided a beautiful backdrop for the peaceful ceremony. At the reception, guests wrote their well-wishes on postcards and slipped them in a box for the couple to read at a later time. Various hues of purple tied every element together from the argyle on the groom's socks to the flowers on every tabletop. The bride and groom strolled along the water's edge barefoot and hand-in-hand as they took in the day's happenings. To close the evening, friends and family toasted the couple and their future together.

ACC Football: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly for Week 11 in ACC Football Action
Georgia Tech vs Will Grier... Who Can Score More? - The Good, Bad, Ugly from Week 11 in ACC Football
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets just scored another touchdown against the North Carolina Tar Heels…
Seriously Georgia Tech…
Where in the heck have you been keeping that one all season…
The only thing more surprising the state of North Carolina this past weekend was that kid, Will Grier, who completed 35-42 passes for 837 yards and 10 touchdowns in a 104-80… yes… 104-80 win for Davidson Day over Harrells Christian Academy on Friday night.
Both teams combined for 1,641 yards of offense…
Tech and Carolina could only put up 118 points and 1085 yards…
For the record, the 118 points is the most points scored in an ACC Football game since the Virginia Cavaliers beat the Tulane Green Wave, 63-47, back in 1968.
Remember those good ole days when Virginia was a good football team?
(check the weekly dig on the Cavaliers off the list)
But seriously, one heck of a week for the Yellow Jackets who are now tied for the lead in the Coastal Division!
Yes folk…
Georgia Tech is tied and has the inside track to the ACC Championship Game coming up in a few weeks.
How absolutely nuts would that be?
But, at this point, the Yellow Jackets would be the better match up for either the 10th-ranked Florida State Seminoles or the 11th-ranked Clemson Tigers.
Just completely shocking and a push that will probably save Paul Johnson's job.
But Georgia Tech and Carolina were just one of the interesting things from this past week.
So let's jump in and take a look at The Good, The Bad and The Ugly for what was ACC Football in Week 11
The Good - ACC Football Week 11
Jamal Golden (pictured above) lived up to his name for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets as he put up 261 all-purpose yards in the 68-50 victory over the North Carolina Tar Heels. Golden's shinning play was a 100-yard kick-off return for a touchdown. Simply stellar!
The Yellow Jackets as a whole deserve a lot of credit for jumping off the mat and putting up 68 in the victory over the Heels. The 68 points set a new Georgia Tech record eclipsing the old mark of 63 it scored against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in 1998. The win also has Tech in the mix for the Coastal Division title. Amazing…
The 11th-ranked Clemson Tigers just keep getting better and better each week on both sides of the ball as it crushed the depleted Maryland Terrapins, 45-10. The win for the Tigers is the 12th in a row at Death Valley setting a new record eclipsing the old mark of 11 straight from 1937-42 and again from 1989-91.
The Bad - ACC Football Week 11
Not everything was perfect for the 11th-ranked Clemson Tigers on Saturday as superstar Sammy Watkins (pictured above) left the game in the second quarter with what was called a leg injury. All reports are this was just for precaution, but the situation will need to be monitored closely.
All the Miami Hurricanes had to do was win and it pretty much could have wrapped up the Coastal Division. But it couldn't find a way to stop the Virginia Cavaliers at any point in time during a 41-40 last second loss. Bad showing for a team that still can make the ACC Championship Game if it beats the Duke Blue Devils in two weeks.
Is this season just a joke or what for the Virginia Tech Hokies? They had the 10th-ranked Florida State Seminoles dead to rights and let them off the hook. The Virginia Tech the country knows and that has ruled ACC Football for the past 8 seasons would have never let an opponent win a game like that in the final seconds. Just bad football from an elite program.
The Ugly - ACC Football Week 11
Was there any doubt that the North Carolina Tar Heels were not going to lead the way for the ugly of the ugly from Week 11? This whole section might just be dedicated to the Heels simply because they had an extra week off to prepare for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the third-best defense in ACC Football give up 68 points. Words simply cannot describe just how terrible and ugly that is.
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons could only come up with 16 rushing yards against and 165 passing yards in a 37-6 loss to the North Carolina State Wolfpack. Wake is too good to be held to those kind of numbers and it just shows a poor attitude on a team who has punched it in for the 2012 season.
The 10th-ranked Florida State Seminoles found a way to win in the final minutes on the road in Blacksburg, Virginia, but it still ended the game with an embarrassing stat. Somehow, someway, the 10th best team in the country finished the game with -15 yards rushing. Yes, -15 yards! It was the first time in Seminole history it won a game that it finished with negative rushing yards. That's just throw up on you mama kind of ugly.
ACC Football and the BCS Rankings for Week 12
Well, the good news for Week 12 is that the 11th-ranked Clemson Tigers moved up two slots in the BCS Rankings!
The bad news is that it is one spot behind the 10th-ranked Florida State Seminoles who didn't move.
The ACC still seems doomed as both the Tigers and the 'Noles are stuck behind six-straight SEC Teams who all have one or two loses.
And everyone knows even if the ACC powers win out, there will be no leaping of any SEC team.
There are the pending match ups between FSU and the 6th-ranked Florida Gators, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets versus the 5th-ranked Georgia Bulldogs and the Tigers hosting the 9th-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks.
Is it possible…
But even if it happens, it still may not be enough with just two weeks remaining.------------------------------------------

There's no place quite like the twisted heartland of FX's Fargo (Tuesday, 10/9c), a marvelous 10-episode variation on themes established in the quirky 1996 Oscar winning film. Once again, warm and neighborly small-town decency gives way to a bitter chill that has less to do with the snowy Minnesota plains than with the dark crevasses of human depravity.

Roseanne Barr is never shy about her opinions, and in her latest Twitter rant over the weekend, the actress threatened to quit Hollywood for good and go into "geriatric porn."
"I'm never going to work in television again. I'm never going to even attempt it. I feel as if I've been insulted/assaulted for over a year," Barr wrote Saturday morning. "Actually, for many years — from my first reality show to my second and two failed development details. Don't call me-I won't call you. I'm gone."
The Two and a Half Men writers' room needs to start using more original material, according to Roseanne Barr.
In a Twitter rant over the weekend, Barr accused star Ashton Kutcher and creator Chuck Lorre (who was a supervising producer on Roseanne in the 1990s) of ripping off a joke from her stand-up routine. Later, she recanted her claim against Kutcher and Lorre, but maintained that someone on the writing staff stole her material.
Former MTV VJ Kennedy, now a Los Angeles radio DJ, still has fond memories of her 1992-1997 stint at the cable channel. That's why she subtitled her new memoir, The Kennedy Chronicles (out Tuesday), The Golden Age of MTV Through Rose-Colored Glasses. "The MTV studio was where you wanted to be," she says.
But one of her most vivid memories is of simulating oral sex with a microphone while standing next to NYC's then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani during the 1994 Video Music Awards. Kennedy says she did it in order to win over a hostile audience — and it almost worked.
