Ukrainians who live in Atlanta are keeping a close watch on the turmoil overseas. That includes one of CBS46's very own photojournalist, Dimitri Lotovski.
Lotovski made his way from his home country of Ukraine to the United States in the mid-90s. But he's been keeping tabs on what's happening in his homeland now.
Before coming to the U.S. in 1995, he and his wife were quite outspoken in Ukraine against what he calls a corrupt government.
"I'm very upset," he told colleague Donna Rapado.
"Because the former president who was a thief was Putin's puppet," he said. "They had an awful president who was stealing and ruining the country's economy and they overthrew his rule."
Lotovski said he loved America long before he ever moved here. He had an American flag hanging in his bedroom in Kiev.
Several months of turmoil led protesters to riot as the government attacked them, killing and injuring many. Amid the recent bloody protests, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych escaped to Russia two weeks ago.
With Russian troops now taking over parts of Ukraine, Lotovski says Russian President Vladimir Putin is violating Russia's agreement made when the countries separated after the Soviet Union collapsed.
"Years after the end of the Soviet Union, Russia remains the evil empire," Lotovski said. "And that's exactly what's happening. Putin just can't let it go. He dreams of new empire."
He says it's an injustice everyone should be aware of. "Well, Americans should always know about people who are fighting a corrupt government because that's how America became America," he pointed out. "The people weren't happy with the government and that's the most American thing you can do. You can rise up against the corrupt government and overthrow them."

Slim and sleek Linux distro
In a world of multi-gigabyte Linux distributions, it's refreshing to see lightweight distributions like Puppy Linux and Damn Small Linux. But even these distributions look fat next to SliTaz.
The tiny SliTaz [1] Linux distribution weighs in at less than 30MB, but it packs a graphical desktop environment and an amazing array of applications. Similar to Puppy Linux, SliTaz loads entirely to RAM, so it runs blazingly fast even on older hardware. Because SliTaz is a Live CD Linux distribution, getting it running on your machine is a breeze. Before you do that, however, you have to choose which version of SliTaz you want to run.
Stable and Cooking
SliTaz is available in two versions: stable and cooking. As you might have guessed, the former has been fully tested and includes stable packages, whereas the latter contains bleeding-edge kernel, features, and software.
After choosing the version you like, you can download the appropriate .iso image, burn it on a CD, and then boot your machine from it.
Alternatively, you can use the excellent UNetbootin utility to create a Live USB stick [2]. UNetbootin provides built-in support for SliTaz, which makes it easy to install the distro on a USB stick (Figure 1). Simply plug the USB stick, launch UNetbootin, select SliTaz from the Distribution list, press OK, and the tool handles the rest.
Also, you can run SliTaz from a Windows partition. To do this, install GRUB for DOS [3], copy the SliTaz .iso image to the C:\boot directory, and add the following lines to the C:\menu.lst file:
title SliTaz cooking map (hd0,0)/boot/ slitaz-cooking.iso (hd1) map --hook kernel (hd1)/boot/ bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=normal initrd (hd1)/boot/rootfs.gz
The cooking version of SliTaz also allows you to boot the system from the web. To do so, download the GPXE package to C:\boot and add the following code to C:\menu.lst:
title SliTaz web kernel (hd0,0)/boot/gpxe
This will boot the latest version of SliTaz. But that's not all: You can also perform a so-called frugal install, which is explained in the SliTaz Wiki [4].
Boot Parameters
Because it's a Live CD Linux distribution, SliTaz supports a number of boot parameters. Using, for example, the home boot parameter, you can specify on which USB device SliTaz should save your user data, such as settings, bookmarks, downloads, etc.:
slitaz home=sda1
Keep in mind, though, that the USB device you want to use for that must be formatted as ext3. Another useful boot parameter is screen, which you can use to specify the screen resolution:
slitaz screen=1280x1024x24
If you are running SliTaz on a laptop, you can use the laptop boot parameter to load laptop-specific kernel modules.
SliTaz also features two boot parameters that allow you to run the distribution on a machine with limited RAM. The slitaz-loram parameter lets you load SliTaz on a machine with 64MB of RAM, and the slitaz-loram-cdrom parameter forces SliTaz to run from the CD without loading the system to RAM. This way, you can run SliTaz on computers with 16MB of RAM.
During boot, the system prompts you to choose your language, keyboard layout, and screen resolution (provided you haven't specified these settings with boot parameters), and after SliTaz is up and running, you are presented with an uncluttered desktop based on the Joe's Window Manager (JWM) graphical desktop environment (Figure 2).
The panel at the top provides quick access to all essential tools and applications. Here, you will find shortcuts to the Mozilla web browser and an emelFM2 file manager, as well as a volume control, a network applet, a CPU monitor, and a clock. The SliTaz menu gives you access to all the installed applications.
Considering its size, SliTaz manages to squeeze in an impressive number of applications (Figure 3), including the Geany text editor, ePDFView PDF viewer, gFTP FTP client, GPicView image viewer, and the Transmission BitTorrent client.
Also, it has the Burnbox utility for burning CDs and DVDs, Osmo organizer, ListPatron list manager, mtPaint image editor, LightTPD web server, and WiKiss wiki. To keep the size small, SliTaz doesn't include any office application or an email client, but you can install additional packages with SliTaz's own package management tool.

In your clinical perspective, how would you best classify a Morton's neuroma?
- Thu, 8/27/09 - 4:55pm

- 1 comments
The question is "best classify a Morton's neuroma"
The question is not "what are the eitologies that may give rise to neuroma symptoms".
A neuroma is a thickening of the perineural envelope which is the true definition of a Morton's neuroma. An adevenitious bursae can compress on the common digital nerve giving rise to "neuroma" type symptoms, however it is not a mortons neuroma.Reply to this comment »

SAFFORD, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a Graham County man has died of complications from the hantavirus, the first reported case of the disease this year.
The Graham County Health Department says the 39-year-old man died earlier this month, but no additional information was immediately available Wednesday.
The hantavirus is a rare disease that exhibits symptoms similar to the flu including fever, muscle aches and vomiting.
Thirty-four cases of the virus have been recorded in Arizona since 2001. Of those, 38% were fatal.
Health experts say there's no specific treatment for the hantavirus and victims should seek medical attention as soon as they notice symptoms.
Officials recommend sealing up any openings or crawl spaces around the household that could shelter unwanted rodents and placing traps in areas where rodent droppings have been detected.

For much of the first episode of "Southie Rules," the show's producers provide subtitles. As if the Southie accent — dropping the "r," saying "wicked" and "doll-ahs," and yelling "Ma!" — is hard to understand. Maybe I've lived in Boston too long, but I don't find it hard at all to comprehend the characters on the A&E reality show, which premieres Tuesday night at 10. Lines such as "Where are you going?" and "This is going just swimmingly" — they're pretty easy to follow if you know how to speak English.
But the subtitles are part of the producers' strained effort to make Southie seem exotic and interesting. OK, we get it, Southie is a neighborhood of triple-deckers and tough-talking men and women who hate yuppies and love sports. We get it, we get it, people were entertained by "The Departed" and "The Fighter" and "Mystic River" and are familiar with the Wahlbergs. And yes, the Southie accent and attitude — fierce, and fiercely loyal — can be really funny. Just check out the "The Real Housewives of South Boston," a YouTube series from the comedy team Paulilu. It's spot on and hysterical.

Q&A: Should I be concerened that my baby, who is co-sleeping with us, is not getting enough sleep?
We are a co-sleeping, AP style family. Owen, our first baby, is 7 months old. I don't feel that he's getting enough sleep. He naps for about two hours a day (in the swing at daycare). At home we have to walk him to sleep. He only wants to be in his crib if he's playing. How do we get him to stay asleep or just be able to soothe himself back to sleep at night and for naps? Can we skip the crib and just move him to a mattress on the floor in a baby-proofed room?
To address your concern about whether Owen is getting enough sleep, the "average" 6-month-old sleeps 10 and a half hours at night and takes naps totaling three and a half hours, for a total sleep time of 14 hours per day. By nine months, these numbers change to 11 hours a night, three hours a day. You will know whether he's getting enough sleep by observing his behavior. A 7-month old baby who isn't sleeping enough is cranky.
It sounds like Owen is demanding what he is used to—contact with you as he drifts off to sleep. Yet, if he continues to learn that this is what to expect, it will get harder to 'teach' him to go from sleepy to asleep by himself.
The trick is to slowly change his expectations. First, put him down while he's sleepy, but maintain touch until he is asleep. Next maintain voice contact as he gets used to less help from you. At some point, he'll awaken and cry, but backtracking to holding him again defeats the purpose. If he is not sick and his other needs are met, go back to the last type of contact that was working.

It lasted more than four hours, but in the end the Fayetteville City Council Wednesday night voted 3-2 against consolidating the city's fire department with Fayette County fire services. And the crowd roared with approval.
The council chambers were packed to the point that many filled the foyer and spilled over into the area just outside the building where speakers had been set up for the overflow crowd to hear the proceedings. The nearly 250 in attendance were a mix of city residents, business owners, firefighters and their families. Read More»
A proposal by the Fayetteville Downtown Development Authority to have the city back a loan so DDA can purchase the former dress shop at Lanier Avenue and Glynn Street for re-sale was approved April 17 by the City Council on a 3-2 vote.
The DDA proposal requested that the city serve as a loan guarantor to buy the space on the old courthouse square for re-sale for retail or restaurant use.
Community Development Director Brian Wismer said DDA has sought financing from Regions Bank for 80 percent of the $179,000 purchase price of the 1,700 sq. ft. building. Read More»

A proposal to build a 54-unit assisted living facility dedicated solely to memory care patients near McIntosh High School was denied by the Peachtree City Council Thursday night.
The proposal from The Lasalle Group of Texas was to build on a 4.7 acre tract at the corner of Ga. Highway 54 and Walt Banks Road, directly across from Holy Trinity Catholic Church. But to do so, Lasalle first had to get the city's multifamily housing moratorium lifted by council, which would allow city staff to work with the developer on preparing a rezoning for the tract.
Instead, council elected to nip the process in the bud before Lasalle could get further. The vote to deny the request to lift the moratorium was 4-0 with Councilman Eric Imker absent. Read More»
The Peachtree City Council has no plans to consolidate its fire department in a joint effort being explored by the Fayette County and Fayetteville governing bodies.

Flute World
America's #1 flute specialty house since 1983.
Concerto Grosso per il Santissimo Natale (Christmas Concerto) by Francesco ManfrediniArranged by Nancy Nourse for Flute ChoirScored for 2 Solo C Flutes, 3 C Flutes, Solo Alto Flute and Bass FluteIncludes score and partsManfredini's Concerto Grosso per il Santissimo Natale was published in Bologna in 1718, nine years after Torelli's Christmas concerto and just six years after Corelli's celebrated work. As in both of these other compositions, there is a pastorale movement that uses the dotted siciliano rhythm pattern in a 12/8 time, evoking images of the shepherds and the nativity. Also similar to these two other restrained, Bolognese-styled concerti, Manfredini's composition is neither showy nor technically demanding but uses the holoist group as a dynamic and textural contrast to the full orchestral tutti.This transcription for flute orchestra has been transposed up a perfect fourth in order to accomodate the instruments of the flute family. A tutti alto flute part is included as well as a bassoon/cello/bass part which doubles the bass flute line and may be used at the discretion of the director. Despite the previous concepts flutists may have regarding the term concerto, this work requires peaceful and blended ensemble tone as opposed to displays of soloistic virtuosity.

Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff has signed a multi-year contract extension, the team is set to announce.
Since being named the general manager on Jan. 13, 2008, Dimitroff has helped to shape the roster that has led to two playoff trips in three seasons. The franchise has posted three consecutive-winning seasons for the first time in its history.
"This extension of Thomas' contract ensures that he and coach (Mike) Smith, whose contract was extended last month, will be able to continue to work together on solidifying the long-term sustainability and success of our football team," said Falcons owner Arthur M. Blank. "Thomas has proven himself to be a highly-skilled and talented general manager of our club, and I look forward to the Falcons reaping the benefits of his work for many years to come."
Dimitroff, who was a member of the front office of the New England Patriots, chose to take a more analytical approach to changing the Falcons' fortunes and culture. He has a hand in all of the key operations, including athletic performance (medical and training), scouting and coaching.
Following the 2010 season, Dimitroff was named NFL Executive of the Year by the Sporting News. He has won the award twice since being named the Falcons general manager in 2008. Since 2008, Atlanta has posted a 33-15 (.688) record, which is tied for the third best in the NFL over the last three seasons.
"First, I would like to thank Mr. Blank for the confidence and support he has shown in me and in Coach Smith over the past three seasons," Dimitroff said. "I look forward to working with Smitty and his coaching staff as we continue our journey of bringing NFL championship caliber football to Falcons fans and to the city of Atlanta."
Dimitroff, a 20-year scouting and personnel veteran, made all of the right moves in his first season with the Falcons. He didn't flinch while taking over a franchise that was attempting to recover from the turbulent Michael Vick era and from the head coach, Bobby Petrino, leaving during the 2007 season for a college job.
After hiring Smith as head coach, the two worked together to construct the team's foundation. In their first draft, they chose quarterback Matt Ryan, left tackle Sam Baker, middle linebacker Curtis Lofton, wide receiver Harry Douglas, safety Thomas DeCoud and defensive end Kroy Biermann.
The first draft led to Dimitroff's selection as NFL executive of the year by Sporting News. His second draft wasn't as fruitful. The top two picks — defensive tackle Peria Jerry and safety William Moore — missed most of the 2009 season.
Moore came on as a starter at strong safety last season, while Jerry was a situational pass rusher as he recovered from knee surgery.
His third draft was also fruitful as linebacker Sean Weatherspoon played well when healthy and defensive tackle Corey Peters cracked the starting lineup.
He has leaned on the expertise of some holdovers such as director of player personnel Les Snead and director of football administration Nick Polk while blending in some of his hires, such as assistant director of player personnel
Lionel Vital and director of college scouting David Caldwell.
Under Dimitroff, the Falcons have red-flagged players with checkered pasts. The team will continue its practice of removing players from consideration who they feel will not fit into their close-knit locker room.
"We are very particular about our locker room, and we've worked very hard to make sure we get a cohesive unit in there," Dimitroff said at the NFL scouting combine. "As much as I think at times that we'd like to open up a little bit and think that we could add the challenging soul, it's so nice as it is, and it's so cohesive right now, that you don't want to let go of how good we have it in the locker room."

Were good if we can get some heat and cover people- I know he is higher on chris owens than I am- I think Chris Owens is one of those Practice ALL PRO corners, but when the bright lights come on and the pads get put on- I think the "Charles Dimry" ghost comes out in him. He looks like a deer in headlights out there-
He would definitely be an All Pro in Flag Football-

Hey D-Led, A couple of questions that are off topic for this blog. One was asked the other day and I never saw a response and that was what's the deal with Mike Johnson? He was a 3rd round pick from Alabama that played his entire career there and an All-SEC player but was inactive all year with the Falcons. With the current situation of our O-Line's contract status, I'd like to know if he is going to be someone we can count on and what does the coaching staff think of him? Are they hiding him or is he just not coming along like they had hoped. I noticed that Joe Hawley, who was a 4th round pick was active several weeks last year. Is that because of player position or is Joe just playing better. I know Joe can play guard or center and Mike plays guard and tackle. Can you shed some light on this issue?
Second, Antone Smith? I hear people talking about a scat back but he never really got a shot at playing last year. Is he in the plans or is he just filling a roaster spot. Feedback would be appreciated.

D.Led…Jim does bring up a valid point
March 9th, 2011
3:29 pm
Ooops, just saw where Jim got scolded. Guess I'm next.
OH, and congradulations to TD, he deserved it and has certainly master minded the personal since he's been here. I think given another year the players he's brought in that have been hurt will come to surface, like what William Moore did this year and add in this years draft, we should be back in the playoffs, assuming there will be playoffs this year.
Still think TD is going to surprise folks with that first pick and take a WR. That interview with MS about the number 2 receiver was a very strong indicator. He didn't even MENTION our current number 2, Jenkins. So, a new number 2 has got to come from somewhere. Maybe a free agent pick up but if not, don't be surprised. I know God and everyone else is saying DE but the premium DE's will be gone when we pick and after that there is a lot of depth there, meaning we could possibly pick one up in the 2nd. Not sure but I'm excited to see what happens.

Hope Dimitroff doesn't change his approach when it comes to these me-first guys who have selfishly hurt their HS & College teams with foolish and criminal behaviour. 31 other teams can have those guys and good riddance. There are enough quality young men who are mature leaders to fill our roster and keep harmony in the locker room while bringing the same skill on the field as the "challenging souls" that some posters on here insist that we need. If nothing else, we can be a living laboratory for the rest of the league in terms of "choir boys" vs "thugs"….Good move, Mr Blank……
March 9th, 2011

They are Pro's. Him and Coach Smith……..I remember Jerry Glanville…Geez.
March 9th, 2011
3:32 pm
I think that Thomas D. And Coach Smith have both done a great job with the Falcons. We have this tendency to look at the negative and not that the Falcons won 12 games this season. We look at the one's they lost. they were 12 happy days for me. yes I hate the play off loss but it was still a good season. Thanks TD and Smitty
March 9th, 2011
3:33 pm
I love how every fan thinks he knows more about drafting and talent evaluation than Dimitroff does. Dude is making this money for a reason.
@buckhead benny – Not sure why you and some others are always harping on how we need new corners. You could have the best corners in the league, but without a pass rush, they will look like crap. We need some pressure being generated from opposite Abe. Points made about Owens may be on-point, but our starting cornerbacks are just fine. Don't believe me? Consider:
Brent Grimes – Went from UDFA to Pro Bowler. Had some great interceptions (5) and game-changing plays. 23 passes defensed. The most targeted cornerback in the entire league.
Dunta Robinson – The guy opposite him was *the most targeted* cornerback in the league. Teams are throwing away from this guy. That's the very definition of a "shut-down" corner, no?
March 9th, 2011
3:33 pm
@ DLED…AMEN. I get tired of hearing all of these cry babies on the blog. The fact is that we have a really good thing going here from management on down. I truly believe we'll be in the big dance withing the next 2 years…AND WIN IT!

Playoff games are harder than hell to win. With that said, We have had and continue to have the right personnel in place for the next decade to have a shot year in and year out to win a world Championship! Atlanta Braves knows a bit about this. Great Move Arthur!
March 9th, 2011
3:53 pm
Looks like Mr. Blank's formula for success is to pay those who are winners. Reward the people who are making the franchise a contending team year-in and year-out.
I, for one, appreciate that philosophy. Great job Mr. Blank; and congrats to Mr. Dimitroff.

Good moves to extend both TD and Smitty, the two best hires in team history. Now if we can just get DLed a comparable extension……
March 9th, 2011
4:13 pm
[...] "First, I would like to thank Mr. Blank for the confidence and support he has shown in me and in coach Smith over the past three seasons," Dimitroff said in a statement announcing his extension, according to The Atlanta Journal Constitution. [...]

This is just plane dum. Look at the pic of him with Perrier Jerry one of the fist round busts he drafted and now Mr Blanks xtends his contact? Liek I said B 4 just plane dum!
March 9th, 2011
4:27 pm
TD has certainly risen our expectations over the last three years. But if the Falcons don't go to the playoffs this year and win at least one game, he better have a good head coach lined up…
March 9th, 2011

This guy drafts more busts than real players, take a look of his recent bust in the pic above.
March 9th, 2011
4:37 pm
Dimitroff has done a good job in Atlanta. Congrats on your extention. Just one point, the game is not played in the locker room. I would just say keep an open mind when it comes to talent. Your hair style suggest you know a little something about the "challenging soul". I mean Arthur Blanks gave you a chance after you entered his office with that hair style. You have done alright with the Atlanta team.
The comment suggest that if Ray Lewis was in his prime or now, you would not consider adding him to your locker room, because of his past history, yet to date he has not been a problem. Just keep an open mind when you draft for our obvious needs on the defense.
March 9th, 2011
4:45 pm
[...] According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the team has signed GM Thomas Dimitroff to a multiyear extension. In similar fashion to coach Mike Smith's extension, the terms haven't been announced, though they're both expected to remain under contract for the same time period. "This extension of Thomas' contract ensures that he and coach (Mike) Smith, whose contract was extended last month, will be able to continue to work together on solidifying the long-term sustainability and success of our football team," said Falcons owner Arthur M. Blank. "Thomas has proven himself to be a highly-skilled and talented general manager of our club, and I look forward to the Falcons reaping the benefits of his work for many years to come." [...]
March 9th, 2011
4:46 pm
Much to do about nothing, if Dimitroff & Smith lose their third straight playoff game, Arthur Blank will become the new Dan Snyder of the NFL. Wait & see if this team can compete when it counts, instead of being politically correct & just giving money away! If the Falcons go 8-8 or don't make the playoffs this will be a dumb move, that will add to Falcon lore.
March 9th, 2011

Hope Mr. Blank can afford it given the tough financial straits that the NFL owners are currently experiencing. #sarcasm!
March 9th, 2011

I don't think you know what "political correctness" even means–if you believe hiring people of good character is "PC"…PC says that all lifestyles are equally valid that our concepts of "good and evil" are outmoded. To even consider "character and morality" as a benchmark is the antithesis of "PC" under which equality of OUTCOME is paramount. To judge people based on passe' notions such as Christianity is exactly opposite of what PC commands in which anything goes as long as some protected group isn't "offended"….

5:18 pm
Assuming they don't shoot the golden goose…(yes, D.Led I know you said it'll live…and I believe you. I just think it's gonna sweat bullets a lot longer than anticipated first) this may be a good move. I mean, the team does seem to be on an ascent so you have to give credit where it's due. In my opinion we still have a ways to go but at least we're in the right direction with this regime…for me, this draft will tell me a lot about TD going forward.
March 9th, 2011
5:23 pm
If politically correct means honest, hard working, mature, productive and not a donkey A$$, then I'm all for it. Sounds like "facts" is a DITTO head with that kind of logic
March 9th, 2011
5:27 pm
@Rikus- yeah, our starting corners our fine, but for some one that played safety in college- you need at least 3 and 4 that can cover- green bay and all of the top teams dont just run two wr's at you bro- they run 3-4 to get mismatches like what happen to us- Why do you think the New York jets with one of the best secondaries and defenses in football last year signed Cromartie and drafted a first round cb? they know you have to have 3-4 cb's that can come in an play- Yeah you got to have a pass rush idiot- but if you got a guy like chris owens trying to tackle dudes before they even make it out of their cut- your screwed- Everyone on any team almost has 2 good starting cb's on their roster usually, fyi. its the third and fourth cb's teams look to exploit. It also limits the calls on defense to where you have to throw your corner's into zone coverages and can't man up- so you get wr's that just find the soft spot- I guess you know all of that already then hugh? Why do you think 2 great CB's couldn't cover the Green Bay wideouts and Aaron Rodgers could throw it where ever he wanted- it wasn't just about a pass rush- the third and fourth receiver were wide open all day long-
March 9th, 2011
5:43 pm
Very good move!!!!! Now TD and Smitty can put all their focus on the draft, not that they weren't already fully engrossed in it. TD has built us an excellent foundation that WILL bring a championship to Atlanta!!!!! We lack only a few more pieces to take that next step.
March 9th, 2011
5:45 pm
@buckhead benny: wow, way to get defensive dude!! No need for name-calling; this isn't grade school. I acknowledged that our nickel back isn't up to snuff. We clearly need to improve that position – but is it a more dire need than DE, which is looking like it will be pretty sad once Abe retires?
Also, I'm glad you metioned how Green Bay had 3-4 good WRs to run at us… would be nice if we had the same weapons!! Right now we can't produce those same kind of matchup problems for our opponents, and that is why our offense tends to be so plodding.
Yes, nickelback needs an upgrade but I say DE and WR (and possibly OL, depending on FA) are higher priorities.
March 9th, 2011
5:52 pm
@ waynester
Teams even question Clay matthews coming out of USC with that "PC" crap, his father & uncle gave their all to the game. Dimitroff wants to prove he can do it Belechiks way, "NOT", if he can actually get this team to win a playoff game, I digress!
March 9th, 2011
6:08 pm
Dimitroff certainly isn't as cold and calculating as BB but he has built a team capable of annually challenging for a playoff berth. You can ignore the fact that he has been named GM of the Year 2 out of the 3 years he's been in charge and is considered one of the best by his peers and that(not coincidentally) our team made the playoffs in both of those years. His job is to give the staff the tools to work with and HE HAS. He never took a snap or coached a down but the guys he's brought in have put us in a position to compete in the post-season and that's been his oft-stated goal. In other words, he's doing his job. Now it's up to everybody else to pull their weight and live up to their draft status….
March 9th, 2011
6:12 pm
A cohesive locker room? Yeah, uh-huh, easy to say in the off-season.
If there is a season, the real pressure will be on to move forward from a one and out playoff appearance.
Won't happen, the Saints will win the Division (Who can't see that train leaving the station?), and the Bucs will squeeze pass Dimwittroff's & Smith's boys for the final wildcard spot….
March 9th, 2011
6:14 pm
Yep, "facts" is a confirmed DITTO head. Will say anything & think he makes sense. He even discounts a coach who has three super bowl rings. But I guess if you don't own or manage anything with people involved, or be responsible for any kind of sucessful operation you can just like to read your own posts.
March 9th, 2011
6:16 pm
@ waynester
That may be absolutely true about Dimitroff ,but Lebron has many personal awards & actually nothing to show for it. As GM of this team we win & lose together, so a playoff victory maybe just what the doctor ordered for this franchise to get over the "hump"
March 9th, 2011
6:24 pm
@ McNasty
Your handle should be "no clue" in fact I do work in management, with 8 years in the military to boot, dweeb. There must be something in the water here, most fans will settle for whatever product these second-tier franchises put out there. I refuse to ride any bandwagon, I respect results! FACTS = Dimitroff has not won a damn thing other than paper weights for his, plush office!
March 9th, 2011
8:01 pm
I absolutely agree with you that winning in the post-season is this teams' next step(of course we have to win in the reg.season 1st) I just disagree on TD. Sure,there are things I wish had turned out better health-wise for some of our draftees but just like everyone else,TD is totally dependent on some doctors' opinion of a player's condition regarding known injuries. Right off the bat, he began his tenure by addressing our most critical needs first and continues to work that way. Only a couple of the guys he's drafted have left for other teams, and none can be labeled a flat-out bust although some have underperformed expectations. Now that the team is more settled,I hope to see a more aggressive draft strategy. TD may never prove as proactive as I'd like in horse-trading like NE but there's no way his first 3 years can graded as anything below an A- ( in my opinion, of course)….
March 9th, 2011
10:50 pm
DLed, can you personally tell Mr. Blanks I said thanks…Cuz TD is the biggest show in town…THIS CAT TD…IS ALL THAT AND BAG OF CHIPS.
Please name me one GM in the ATL that's superior to TD…hmmmmmmmmm…yeah that's what I said. lol

TDs good but he's no genius (letting clay matthews and darren sharper get by proves that). He deserves the extension. But I think it speaks more of his potential than it represents any plateau of achieved excellence. Sure the move with Matt Ryan has worked out so far but it could be argued that given a proper opportunity DJ Shockley would have done just as well. Tony Gonzales was a no-brainer. I think you judge a GM by his prowess in the draft and we really haven't seen that from TD. Not yet. But he's got heart and upside so congrats and get your butt back to work!!

Hard to find farro has a great substitute----wheat berries. My fave salad is the one with the roasted grapes and red onion with the wheat berries. Throw in baby kale or arugula at the end. It is a MS recipe on her PBS show.
Brought a simple farro salad to a gourmet food show in Beverly Hills a couple years ago and was surprised to see the majority of the people there didn't know what farrow was! Wheat berries and spelt also make good substitutes if there isn't any farro around. It's easy to overcook, so go more on the al dente side. High quality extra virgin olive oil really elevates this dish. I make mine just like yours, except I'm known to toss in a few kalamata olives and mozzerrella balls from time to time. Farrow salad really is the perfect dish to transition from summer to fall and its a big hit at potlucks.
Am I the only one who thought "Farro Salad with Tomatoes, Homemade Sauerkraut, Green Minestrone & Apricot-Miso Glazed Chicken" was ONE dish?

Clinical labs continue to face a number of challenges: declining reimbursement, expanding test menus, and chronic staffing shortages. In this environment, consulting with clinicians to facilitate clinically relevant test selection, accurate test interpretation in the context of clinical findings, and common-sense testing/treatment policies, can lead to better patient outcomes, operational efficiencies and cost savings. In 2014, the Thought Leadership Series, supported by a grant from Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, will explore how lab leaders can bring greater value to their organizations by pursuing a new, more integrated, more consultative model for providing clinical laboratory services.
After attending each program, you will be given an opportunity to submit a question to the presenter online and to obtain 1.0 ACCENT Continuing Education credits for viewing the webcast. Here is the first topic.
Course #3—Access the Program (free login required)Anemias and Hemoglobinopathies: What Lab Leaders Can Do to Enhance Diagnosis and Management
The number of hemoglobin variants (i.e., hemoglobinopathies) discovered to date totals more than one thousand. The vast majority do not cause any clinical or hematologic problems, while others are associated with varying degrees of morbidity and mortality (e.g., sickle cell anemia, beta thalassemia major). Given what laboratory leaders know and understand about the structure of blood, including hemoglobin and its variants, they can be a valuable asset in diagnosing and managing disorders of hemoglobin structure. This presentation will address how lab leaders can work with others on the healthcare team (such as blood bank personnel and hematopathologists) to improve the clinical interpretation of hemoglobinopathies and anemias in the context of clinical findings, how the process from test order to patient intervention can be improved, and how lab leaders can work outside the laboratory to affect the care of patients with anemias and disorders of hemoglobin structure.

Course #2—Access the Program (free login required)Standardizing Protocols and Policies for More Efficient Allergy Testing
The world of allergy testing can be complex and confusing, particularly when primary care practitioners with less knowledge of the ins and outs of lab-based allergy tests are responsible for ordering tests and interpreting results. Faced with a shortage of allergists, Canada recently initiated a laboratorian-led standardization effort that began with an extensive overhaul of allergy testing practices and protocols in the province of Alberta. Dr. Kareena Schnabl spearheaded the standardization effort. Her group found inconsistencies in test formularies and ordering practices, and in the end, decided to focus on establishing standards for the top eight or so allergens responsible for about 90% of food allergies. During this program, Dr. Schnabl will discuss what lab leaders in the U.S. and internationally can do to help their organizations standardize protocols, leading to the more effective utilization and better interpretation of allergy test results.
The Expert:Kareena Schnabl, PhD, FCACB, Clinical Biochemist and Joint Laboratory Head, Newborn Screening and Biochemical Genetics Laboratory, Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Alberta Health Services, Genetic Laboratory Services, University of Alberta Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Course #1—Access the Program (free login required)Expanding the Lab Leader's Role on the Healthcare Team
In many institutions, the expertise of lab leaders is underutilized, underappreciated, and undervalued. By seeking out new roles on hospital committees and opportunities to participate in institution-wide policy development, clinical consultation, and the provision of full-service patient diagnostics, lab leaders can expand the role they play on the healthcare team, elevate the laboratory profession, and help their institutions save money. This webcast will address how healthcare service provider models in general are changing to meet the demands of today's patients and payment systems, as well as provide a new vision of service for leaders in the lab profession. During the program, real-world examples of how lab leaders can participate more fully in the patient care process, how they can use their expertise to help their institutions improve the diagnostic process, and how they can become more involved on teams that are directly involved in the patient care processes will be provided.

PLOVER, Wis. (WSAU) -- A U.S Senator got a close look at how Wisconsin manufacturers are trying to deal with the skills gap. Senator Tammy Baldwin visited Pointe Precision in Plover Monday, which is a high technology machine shop that manufactures components for the aerospace and other industries.
The Workforce Investment Act is under consideration for reauthorization, and Baldwin is listening to businesses to find out how to improve the legislation. "This is an important piece of legislation when there are displacements in our economy, when we see factories close, when we see factories offshored, and we need to engage in helping people make career (choices), update their skills, and find employment matches in their home communities, ideally, when that can happen."
Under the present Workforce Investment Act, dollars are set aside for helping train new workers and also to retrain displaced workers from businesses that have closed. Baldwin says employers tell her there is also a need to help train existing entry level workers to higher skill levels so they may advance. "What I heard today really underscores the importance of this, being able to use some of the funding in the Workforce Investment Act to help entry level workers in manufacturing settings, and other settings for that matter, be able to upgrade their skills so that this can be a career long commitment to a company if they desire."
One of the problems with the skills gap is that there are not enough people entering the manufacturing fields. Another problem is the ability of technical schools to bring new workers up to the high-tech levels needed by modern manufacturers. "Often times, companies are investing literally hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars in a particular piece of equipment. The technical colleges can't keep up with that, and so they're often lagging behind in terms of teaching people on the precise pieces of equipment that they're going to have to operate in the field."
Pointe Precision CEO and Mid-State Technical College Board Member Joe Kinsella says his business relies on the schools to teach the basics, but they often train people to specific machines on site. "It's difficult for outside sources to purchase the kind of capital equipment that they need to do that kind of training, so as long as we can get the primary bases covered, the inspection side of it, the understanding of the drawings and how the equipment runs, we're certainly happy to fill that other void within our own company because we have the wherewithal to do that."
Kinsella says their efforts to recruit future manufacturing workers begins in the 8th grade, as they bring in local students to show them what a manufacturing career offers. We take them on the shop floor and we show them how the parts are manufactured. Then we bring them back in and hopefully, try to put together the whole package for them, to try to get them to understand that what they may hear or may understand about manufacturing is that it isn't a dimly-lit building and a dirty facility, and that there are opportunities for them rather than pursuing a four year degree."
Kinsella says another problem for manufacturers is the growing number of upcoming retirements of these highly skilled operators. "We've put together a spreadsheet that shows the age of our folks and when they expect to retire, so we can begin a planning process to backfill those needs. However, having said that, it's not as easy to go out and find the students that are going into those trades."
With the demand for high tech manufacturing jobs growing, the number of retired machinists leaving the workforce, and the number of students below the market demand, Kinsella says he encourages experienced and young people looking for a new career to consider manufacturing. "I would absolutely encourage people to look at manufacturing. Manufacturing is going to be here for the long haul, and it's a good job. It's a good paying job and the benefits are very good, and I think people should really take a look at focusing on that."
Senator Baldwin says the Workforce Investment Act could reach the Senate floor this fall for discussion and a possible vote. She says that could help train new workers and help many veterans and the 5,300 workers that have been displaced in central Wisconsin over the past eighteen months.

Over at Bossa Nova, there's a weekend long festival showcasing the wealth of female and female-identified DJ talent with artists including Lauren Flax, Shannon Funchess (of Light Asylum), Lauren Dillard, and much more too. Continuing onto Saturday, climb onto the roof of OUTPUT with the Kaviar Disco duo Travmatic and Beto Cravioto before wrapping up the night with Andhim and Dense & Pika across the street at Verboten.
This is the end of Williamsburg (part 2394827639484692374)
[Drinking Brooklyn]
If it wasn't re-zoning, American Apparel, The Edge, Monster Island, Duane Reade, Whole Foods, 285 Kent, Dunkin Donuts, "Space Ninety-Eight," Death By Audio or that Apple Store that is probably opening, then THIS is surely the end of Williamsburg:
A rumored real estate deal could cause trouble for some of Williamsburg's most successful eateries, meaning not even the neighborhood's bougie gentrifiers are safe from…the effects of gentrification. A possible $100 million deal to purchase several properties on North 3rd Street has been dished to the Real Deal, which reports that Waterbridge Capital could pay around $1,000 per square foot for the space at 103-119 North 3rd Street. Current tenants of said properties include beer hall Radegast, brunch dominator Egg, Mexican spot Viva Toro and hirsute chocolatiers Mast Brothers.
The deal gives Waterbridge about 110,000 total buildable square feet, including more than 50,000 square feet of residential space with 41 rental units that are ripe for repositioning, sources said. The properties generate about $4 million in annual income, a source said. [The] businesses are likely paying below-market rents, and will be repositioned over time.For its part, Radegast doesn't see itself going anywhere, with the owner telling us he had four and a half more years on his 12-year lease plus an option for 10 more years after that. He hadn't been approached by anyone about the sale of the building, but said he "knew what he had" and would negotiate with his current landlord, Olga Sosa of Berry Enterprises Uses, LLC. We reached out to Egg and Mast Bros. and we'll update if we hear back.
These properties are just a stone's throw from 76 North 4th Street, the site of Williamsburg's rumored Shake Shack. At the time, a Radegast worker told us he heard that "Marshall's and TJ Maxx's [were] going in and subterranean parking lots," and that given the "state of Williamsburg" he wouldn't be surprised if the rumors were true. Whether these businesses will be ousted and replaced with gleaming new condos or some other monstrosity remains to be seen. At least whatever moves in will probably go well with Whole Foods.
Fraud or philanthropy? Art and Craft film review
Fraud, it seems, without any monetary benefit to the forger, is not a crime. And this is known best by Mark Landis, who has duped some of the most prestigious art museums in the country with his copycat pieces for more than 30 years. The new documentary Art and Craft, opening this Friday, peers into the life of Mark Landis and follows him as he deceives museum registrars and aggravates the one man always on this case, former registrar Matt Leininger.

Video: Whirr, Cloakroom, and Sannhet at The Studio at Webster Hall
Pop quiz, hot shot. What do you get when you pack three of the loudest post-rock bands on earth into a glorified broom closet in the basement of a creaky old theater in lower Manhattan. Answer? Tinnitus, you idiot. As well as one hell of a show from heavy shoegazers Whirr, Cloakroom, and our favorite blackened post-rock (or lightened black metal?) trio, Sannhet. Check out the video from the epically claustrophobic show below and also keep your eye for anyone playing/selling a black Gibson RD bass, as some degenerate slug stole one from Sannhet after the show on Tuesday.
Top five shows of the weekend
5) Andy Stott, Demdike Stare, Millie & Andrea, Miles, and more at Output
While you're never going to hear me expound on the cultural importance of Output (nor ever find me there), I must say, this one caught my attention. Every now and then Output books itself a name in the electronic music world, but Manchester dub pioneer Andy Stott is by far their highest concept yet. A deviation from the Wythe mega-club's usual (MDM)A + B(ro step) = C(oitus in the bathroom) Pythagorean, Stott is sure to bring some artistic gravitas to the grind this weekend, so if you're looking to get down with your dignity intact, this is the place to be.

Taste Talks All-Star BBQ = food coma
This past weekend cult-status chefs descended upon North Williamsburg, taking over the Wythe Hotel, Kinfolk Studios, Colossal Media and the East River Park for Taste Talks Brooklyn.
Saturday, I was lucky enough to grab a seat at Mario Batali's panel on "What is Buzz?" with Christine Muhlke, Executive Editor of Bon Appétit; Kate Krader, Restaurant Editor at Food & Wine magazine; Ken Friedman, Co-owner of several restaurants, including theThe Spotted Pig; and Craig Kanarick, CEO of Mouth.com. All of the panelists have years of curating and influencing tastes. [Read more...]

Thank Your Lucky (Hearts And) Stars
With its tropical, lush green landscape, Hawaii is the epicenter of natural scents and salves. From the popular Kona Red antioxidant-boosted energy drink and skin-soothing mango "butter buns" to a few local niche fragrance lines from brands like Saffron James, the Aloha State has plenty to offer when it comes to primping. And while Paul Mitchell's fully sustainable, solar-powered Awapuhi farm has been the big hair story on the Big Island for the past 20 years, stylist Jason Harsin is fixing to make his mark in the business of beautiful locks. After struggling to find a product range to help his clients replenish the protein that's often lost when hair is exposed to sun, sand, and surf, Harsin created Hearts & Stars, a two-piece offering that launched last month. The second thing you'll notice about the sulfate- and paraben-free shampoo and conditioner is their impressive olfactory attributes; essences of eucalyptus, tea tree, and sage disperse a fresh scent as you lather, rinse, and repeat. The next thing you'll pick up on is how squeaky clean your scalp is without feeling dry—the happy effect of a formula boosted with keratin and hemp oil to replenish, rather than strip, damaged strands. But what will no doubt be the first thing to catch your eye is Harsin's adorable, tattoo-influenced packaging concept that features every girl's favorite kitschy accessory: a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses. In case you were wondering, the answer is yes; they look amazing in any well-appointed shower caddy.

Cait's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
Mets. I live in New York and my four brothers and dad are huge baseball fans. In my house we're divided between the Mets and Yankees, but I agree with my dad and have to root for the underdog every season.
What's your favorite movie quote?
Favorite quote would be from the movie The Departed, "What Freud said about the Irish is: We're the only people who are impervious to psychoanalysis."
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
My favorite game was Mario Kart. Kind of old school, but I think I could hold my own as far as kicking butt.
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
I have one tattoo on the back of my neck - its my mom's family crest, a Celtic cross, which my hair covers when I wear it down.
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
Most embarrassing song for me would be "Little Things," by One Direction. It's the only the only song of theirs I have ever liked and will probably, but it's still embarrassing to have it on my iPod
What's your best party trick?
I'm open to trying anything.
What's the worst job you've ever had?
Worst job would have to be bar tending at a country club. It was good pay, but a little too stuffy of an environment for me. I like things to be more laid back.
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
Most dangerous thing I've done would be anything with fast cars.
It's 4AM after a crazy night out – what are we eating?
Anything at a diner.

Something in a glass bowl I don't even want to touch. Lol
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
Skinny dipping, always a fun time.

Watches Are Good, Synchronized Watches Are Better
Written by Tom Richards, Senior Legislative Counsel, IHRSA
As a young kid playing various "war games" in and around the wooded neighborhoods of upstate New York, my friends and I always thought it was essential to synchronize our plastic digital watches, like they did in the movies. Of course, we never performed any maneuvers that would require precise timing, but the act of synchronizing our watches seemed to strengthen the bond among friends and make us more accountable to one another. It was a signal that we were in it together.
I thought of my old friends as I watched the roll out of Apple's latest world changing technology.
The Apple Watch electrified the mobile health movement on Tuesday with its integration of several health and fitness applications. With its user-friendly interface and elegant design, the Apple Watch combines the utility of health monitoring devices with humanity's love affair with touch screens. It's a very exciting tool that surely represents just the beginning of a new era of wearable technology. Unfortunately, despite its relentless coolness, it can't lift people off the couch, take them for a walk, or drive them to a gym.
As we've discussed previously in this space, there is no one solution that will get the world moving.
But we know there is at least one powerful motivator for physical activity that seems to positively impact a great number of people: the buddy system.
We may be a more sedentary species than we once were, but we are as social as ever.
