El Paso, TX (Sports Network) - Randall Joyner tallied 14 tackles and two interceptions to lead the SMU Mustangs in their 17-0 shutout of the Texas-El Paso Miners in a Conference USA bout at the Sun Bowl.
Graham Gilbert completed 22-of-44 passes for 234 yards and a touchdown for SMU (2-4, 1-0 C-USA). Gilbert also threw his 10th interception of the season. Zach Line gained 84 yards on 25 carries, Jeremy Johnson caught eight passes for 76 yards, and Darius Johnson made five grabs for 82 yards and a score as the Mustangs snapped a two-game losing streak.
Nick Lamaison and Carson Meger combined to threw for 178 yards with three interceptions for the Miners (1-5, 0-2). Nathan Jeffery was limited to 67 yards on 20 carries while Jordan Leslie caught seven passes for 80 yards. The loss was the third in a row for UTEP.
The only points of the opening quarter came with 55 seconds left in it as Chase Hover connected on a 19-yard field goal try to put SMU up, 3-0.
The Mustangs added onto their advantage in the second frame when Gilbert completed a 40-yard scoring strike to Darius Johnson with 9:42 left. Hover's converted extra point attempt gave SMU a double-digit lead.
The SMU defense got into the mix as Ja'Gared Davis picked off Lamaison and returned it 30 yards to the house to make it 17-0 with 1:52 to play before the intermission.
Neither side managed to produce points after the break. The Miners turned the ball over on downs on all three of their final possessions. SMU moved the ball with decent success, but failed to add to its lead due to two missed field goals.
This was the second shutout of the season by SMU, as it blanked Stephen F. Austin, 52-0, on Sept. 8.

When I was growing up in Washington, D.C., my best friend in high school was an Israeli kid named Yudy who was living in the U.S. for a few years while his dad worked as an attaché at his country's embassy.
Years later, when I was in Israel writing a story on fancy, upscale restaurants, I reconnected with Yudy, who took me around on a street-food tour.
I don't remember much about the high-end restaurants, but I can recall every bite of amazing Israeli street food I tried. Immigrants from places as diverse as Yemen, Iraq and Northern Africa contribute to an ethnic food scene like no other.
It was a treat to see many of the dishes I loved in Israel at OU for U — a dairy Kosher restaurant in a small shopping strip near Perimeter Mall. The food here is solid and good — better when tinged with nostalgia.
For instance, malawach is a disk of rich, layered pastry — somewhat akin to puff pastry but cooked slowly so that the layers stay tender in the center but gain volume and crunch on the perimeter. You dip it in a fresh tomato sauce and wrap it around hard boiled eggs. The dish is a specialty of the Yemenite Jews who were airlifted en masse to Israel soon after the country's independence.
Sabich, pictured above, is an Iraqi sandwich that is popular at falafel stands throughout Israel. Meaty slices of fried eggplant, hard boiled eggs and a bit of hummus fill a tender pita with crunchy veggies. Usually, it is served with a turmeric-heavy sauce called amba that has the strange astringency of Indian mango pickle. I asked for some and got a small cup of a very (i.e., too) salty version. But it does add a weird punch. This is a great faceful of food.
Shakshuka, above, is a specialty of Tripoli in Northern Africa. A chunky, well cooked tomato sauce holds coddled eggs. OU For U bases its recipe on the one from Dr. Shakshuka — a famous Tel Aviv restaurant. I have to say the presentation at Dr. Shakshuka, in which the eggs are served in the pan they cook in, adds a lot to the dish. But the flavor is quite comforting.
You can't leave OU For U without getting good old falafel, because they make a bang-up version The falafel balls are dense but gorgeously spiced.
By the way, the name refers the Kosher symbol of a U inside an O.

Intriguing. I work across the street and noticed their sign, thanks for reviewing. I just wonder how that type of restaurant will fare in this neighborhood in these times.
December 18th, 2009
3:04 pm
I love, love, love shakshuka! My first of 3 trips to Israel was in 1993 and our first meal was shakshuka. I loved it and everyone else acted grossed out by it. They are missing out!

What happened to Rolling Bones? That was one of our favorite standbys for out of town visitors. It was a true taste of Atlanta in so many ways. Did they move? Go out of business?

You got me craving some falafel. Mediterranean Grill near Emory rocks. They have a Business Man's Lunch special that is about ten pounds of food for a $5.99 with a drink included.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- An ex-Rand Paul volunteer charged with kicking a liberal activist during last year's Senate campaign is asking that his misdemeanor assault charge be tossed out.
Tim Profitt filed a motion last month that says he was justified under a state law that provides for the use of force "in defense of a third person." The motion asks a judge to dismiss a fourth-degree assault charge.
The motion does not say who Profitt was attempting to protect during the scuffle.
Profitt has pleaded not guilty to kicking 23-year-old Lauren Valle during a high-profile scuffle Oct. 25 in a Lexington parking lot outside a U.S. Senate debate between the Republican Paul and the Democrat he would go on to defeat, Jack Conway.
A hearing on the motion has been scheduld for March 21 in Lexington.
Profitt's attorney, Michael Dean of Irvine, did not return a call seeking comment Tuesday.

I think you're onto something.
The 25 man badge situation would be easily resolved by just adding a fourth level of badges. If 10 mans have Badges of Virtue, Champion and Pinnacle, 25 mans will have Champion, Pinnacle and Dominance. That way, guilds in 25-man Naxx will be trading in badges for gear that the 10 mans can't get until they're raiding Ulduar.

Edward Thomas: Camp life and a letter home
Page details
Camp life and a letter home
While in camp and later at the front, Thomas's most prolific correspondence was with his wife, Helen. To her he described the conditions of his service, his relations with his men, and his thoughts about the army. Thomas was beyond the age of required service when he enlisted, and an entrenched family man, so some aspects of military life he found difficult to adjust to. In this letter he describes trying to get a quiet night's sleep.

We recently discovered the existence of a love calculator app. We decided to use it to fill the B26 hints request we had. And then some. Also, the admins do not know the meaning of the word "hint".
I very highly recommend downloading the Love Compatibility Test app if you have an iphone. Unless you're like me and the thing hates you. My OTP (AkiHika) is 22% compatible, and my second place OTP (AbeMiha) is 1% compatible. But I'm also 94% compatible with myself. Anyway, hours of amusement.

MWC: Mobile TV gets a mixed report card
Despite positive growth, many early adopters give up on mobile TV.
Industry News
Briefing Room
BARCELONA, Spain The results of a survey of 34,000 mobile subscribers in Europe and North America indicated both good news and bad news for mobile televison. While the market achieved 36% growth last year, this number was outpaced by the 64% of subscribers who abandoned the service. The M:Metrics study, commissioned by Tellabs, confirmed what many have been saying all along the market has significant revenue-generating potential, but it might not be achieved if operators fail to deliver a service that is reliable and of enough quality to be compelling for the price.
This is the second year M:Metrics and Tellabs have completed this study. Last years survey, also in conjunction with Mobile World Congress, did not include the lackluster North American market. But this year, as mobile TV adoption in the U.S. has begun to catch up with other countries, so too have the complaints and dissatisfaction. In total, 60% of U.S. and European responders indicated that they would pay to watch again only if quality and reliability improved in the next year. If operators can achieve this, they will take in what Tellabs and M:Metric said is a bucket of $270 million in additional revenue opportunities. ABI Research echoed this sentiment, predicting that the total number of subscribers will grow to 462 million in the next five years, due to the expansion of 3G networks, increasing prevalence of flat-rate plans for mobile video, build-out of mobile video delivery networks and an increase in the amount of available content.
Stu Bennington, director of portfolio marketing for Tellabs, said it is still too early to declare victory or defeat. In the U.S., there is a demographic that over time will be favorable to this type of service if they believe they are getting what they pay for, he said. It is still a little bit early to say these guys are doing well, these are doing it poorly, because there is an ebb and flow of a lot of factors contributing to the churn rates that need to work themselves out first.
Americans are a bit of a peculiar bunch, he added. It is a combination of two different service trends. In Europe, and international areas, the mobile adoption rate is higher in the U.S. in general, although the U.S. has been catching up. Conversely, the TV viewing habits in North America are generally higher than the rest of the world. So the question then is, how does one influence the other?
The answer isnt entirely that Americans are too lazy to leave the couch. Rather, the competitive environment for mobile TV is considerably more aggressive overseas. In the U.S., the market has been dominated by Qualcomms Media Forward Link Only (FLO) technology, deployed in Verizon handsets. While AT&T promised a MediaFLO launch in the fourth quarter of last year, that deployment has been delayed until early this year.
Verizon might dominate the mobile TV landscape, but the fact that they only have four handsets to date indicates that the market is not yet compelling. Motorola's launched its first FLO handset, the Motorizr Z6tv, alongside LG's Voyager, back in October, doubling the number it achieved in its first six month of commercial operation. At the time, Jan Lezny, vice president of business development for MediaFLO, said that consumers could expect to see more handsets on the market from several vendors by last years holiday season, but that has yet to come to fruition.
While lacking for customers, the mobile TV market is not lacking for standards. In addition to MediaFLO and DVB-H, A-VSB entered the scene at CES this year, designed to use broadcasters existing digital transmissions. Part of the dissatisfaction with mobile TV also stems from the fact that as a high-bandwidth service, the quality and reliability has suffered from a lack of bandwidth on carrier networks coupled with the increasing number of mobile users. Furthermore, at this point, most video streaming is still done from satellite connections rather than over the operators networks, which can cause latency. The majority of devices are still not conducive to displaying these video streams with a high degree of quality.

I liked this quite a bit. I used dried oregano instead of fresh and I carmelized the onions to make them milder. Also made it on the grill instead of the oven since AZ summers are so hot. One has to really like anchovies to enjoy this.

An Uphill Struggle: Natural Resources Management
When Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area (LARO) was created in 1946, National Park Service management focused on its recreational and industrial resources. The natural resources of primary interest were the visual, aesthetic aspects of the scenery and the fishery, which at that time was very poor. The 1965 Master Plan for LARO stated summarily that "There are no ecological or wildlife problems and hunting is permitted according to state regulations." [2] At that time, natural resources management Servicewide involved direct manipulation of natural elements, including nurturing favored species and reducing problem species such as predators. Research, when it was funded, was generally seen as a tool for solving immediate management problems. Resource problems were often ignored until they reached a crisis point, and they were hardly ever viewed in an ecosystem context. [3]
Over the following decades, the trend within the Park Service has been to progressively minimize management interference and to allow natural ecosystem processes to operate freely. The Leopold Report of 1962 recommended that management of natural resources be based on scientific research and that the Park Service should maintain or recreate the biotic associations within each park to the conditions that existed when Euroamericans first visited the area. These recommendations greatly affected subsequent Park Service natural resources management policy and operations. Scientific research began to get more funding, mostly because of increased environmental awareness. The passage of the National Environmental Policy Act in 1969 led to policy revisions. [4]
The creation of Lake Roosevelt had many effects on the natural resources of the area. Home ground, grazing land, and migratory resting areas were eliminated for some 350 species of wildlife, and fluctuating lake levels prevented vegetation from establishing along the shoreline. Resource consumption, such as grazing and hunting, has been allowed within the national recreation area (NRA) boundaries. [5]
Even so, the first interbureau agreement draft of 1941 and the Tri-Party Agreement of 1946 gave the Park Service the responsibility of conserving and protecting the scenic, scientific, and aesthetic values of the area, along with the "flowers, shrubs and trees, historic or archeological remains." LARO staff were further charged with preventing water and air pollution and protecting health, plants, fish, and wildlife. The Park Service had to coordinate its efforts with a variety of agencies, including the Washington Pollution Control Commission, Washington Department of Health, U.S. Public Health Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Indian Affairs (OIA), and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. LARO also consulted with other agencies as necessary, such as the U.S. Forest Service. LARO's status as a national park unit, subject to the purposes and mission of the Park Service, became official in 1970, when Congress defined national recreation areas as part of the National Park System. [6]
Park Service science and natural resources management received a boost from a 1979 National Parks and Conservation Association report that emphasized external threats. The 1980 State of the Parks report called for a comprehensive inventory of natural resources, monitoring programs, park plans for managing natural resources, and increased staffing and training in science and natural resources management. Resource Management Plans (RMPs) have been required since the 1960s. These plans define a strategy and program for stewardship of a park's natural and cultural resources, and they are used as budget documents with prioritized projects. LARO developed a Natural Resources Management Plan, probably its first, in 1973, with help from other federal and state agencies. RMPs were again prepared in 1982, 1988, and 1997. [8]
During the 1970s, natural resources management at LARO was performed by rangers as a collateral duty and did not receive much emphasis. Likewise, funding for natural resources management in the 1980s covered personnel costs for rangers and little else. Funding for necessary projects was obtained by dropping maintenance projects, using reprogrammed salary lapses, or drawing from the park base. Most of the responsibility for monitoring natural resources continued to rest with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), with the exception of visitor health and safety, early warning programs, and Park Service compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act for its own projects. Gordon Boyd, LARO's Chief Ranger, commented in 1986, "I strongly support the Service's efforts to increase our [natural] resource management capabilities. It can only pay long range dividends." [9]
LARO's staffing has reflected the increasing emphasis on natural resources management. Until 1990, the Visitor and Resource Protection Division took care of all natural resources management programs at LARO as a collateral duty of rangers and interpreters. Newly arrived Chief Ranger Darrell Cook realized that the park needed a more professional resource management program with staff with subject-matter expertise, and he knew funding was available for established programs. He created a natural resource specialist position by converting a vacant park ranger position, and Karen Taylor-Goodrich filled this position in 1990 as a Park Service natural resources management trainee. In 1992, she became the manager of LARO's natural and cultural resource programs, and two years later a separate Resources Management Division was established to handle these resource programs. Funding and staff shortages, however, have continued to limit the program. According to a 1994 report, the park had less than one-third the staffing it needed for the natural resource program. Servicewide, the initiative to increase resource management programs occurred simultaneously with the push for government downsizing, and this hurt the resource management thrust. The program currently depends on partial funding from outside entities to support special resource management projects. Recently, the scope of the Chief of Resource Management position was broadened to include planning functions. The park still has a Natural Resource Specialist. [10]
The Park Service's 1991 symposium in Vail, Colorado, recommended that the primary responsibility of the Park Service should be protecting park resources from internal and external threats. In line with this recommendation, LARO's objectives for natural resources management as defined in the 1997 RMP include preserving, protecting, and managing natural resources through planning, inventorying, monitoring, and implementation of plans; maintaining or restoring a semblance of indigenous flora and fauna and natural communities in natural or undeveloped zones of the NRA; mitigating or preventing resource-damaging activities inside or outside the NRA; incorporating resource protection in all development planning documents such as environmental assessments; working with other resource managers in the area; developing a Geographic Information System; and balancing visitor use with resource protection. [11]
LARO's current Natural Resources Specialist, Scott Hebner, exchanges information with his counterparts in the neighboring tribes. He acknowledges that the tribes have developed a more sophisticated approach to natural resources management than the recreation area has because they are responsible for much larger geographic areas and have more funding and staffing. They have more of a multiple-use philosophy than the Park Service in some ways, but they also state that they try to consider the impacts of their actions on seven generations into the future. [12]
To aid in scientific research, the Park Service established a number of special university-based research offices in the 1970s. These are known as Cooperative Park Studies Units. In 1992, LARO resource management staff worked with the unit at the University of Washington to complete resource databases on flora, fauna, soils, air, water, and geographic information and planned to develop long-term monitoring projects to protect the park's resources. In the late 1990s, park staff identified a number of inventories that were needed to help manage LARO's natural resources, including data on vegetation, soils, geology, and paleontological resources. Much baseline research and surveys are still needed. Special Congressional funding for level one biological inventories of vertebrates and vascular plants may become available soon as part of the Servicewide Natural Resources Initiative. This is an effort to bring all park units up to a certain standard for inventorying and monitoring natural resources. [13]

Remedy a New Year's Hangover
Dec. 31, 2001 -- What hangover cures pop into your throbbing noggin on New Year's Day?
Some say burnt toast and a Mexican sausage called chorizo do
the trick. But just in case the quick fixes you tried last year didn't fix
anything, and you still plan to do some celebrating when 2002 arrives, we've
assembled some home remedies that helped some of us get through college.

George Lopez Finds a Perfect Match
"I'll give you one of mine," Ann Lopez said to her husband the moment the couple learned he would need a kidney transplant. He thought she was joking. But George Lopez, star of ABC's The George Lopez Show, is the comic, not his wife. And so, just before sunrise on a Tuesday in April of 2005, the Lopezes arrived at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where they were prepped for surgery in neighboring rooms. Right before Ann was wheeled to the operating room --- her surgery began first...
Read the George Lopez Finds a Perfect Match article > >
But first, here is the official word on what that booze does to
your system. Getting rid of the hangover really comes down to understanding how
the body reacts to alcohol in the first place. Alcohol is a diuretic -- that
is, it tends to increase urination, and therefore, dries you out, explains
alcohol metabolism researcher James
Schaefer, PhD, professor at the Union College in Schenectady, N.Y. Drinking
plenty of water the morning after helps to compensate for the dehydration.
But that's not all that's going on. Impurities are added to alcoholic beverages during the distillation process, and these contribute to the nasty stomachache you get with your hangover. These impurities are especially high in sweeter drinks and malt liquors. Drinking lots of water, then, does two things: it rehydrates your body and dilutes the impurities left in your belly.
A Date for Carbon
When Brian Wakabayashi was at the University of California,
Irvine (UCI), he always made burnt toast a part of his morning-after breakfast.
Schaefer has this explanation for why that helps: Carbon in the charred part of the toast filter the impurities. In fact, people who come into hospital emergency rooms with alcohol poisoning get a potent carbon slurry pumped into their stomachs for the same reason. The burnt toast is a much more moderate version of the same remedy.
Fat Chance
How about that chorizo? It's not a morning-after remedy -- more
like a late-afternoon-before preventive tactic. Cole Ramsey, also a former UCI
student, swears by its hangover-preventing powers and doesn't leave home
without some -- in his stomach, that is.
"It's fatty, and it sits in your stomach for like 12 hours.
For some reason, the hangover goes away," says Ramsey.
Schaefer explains: Fatty foods, if eaten before drinking
alcohol, "grease" the lining of the intestines. The alcohol then takes
longer to be absorbed by the body.
"Personally, I recommend eating pizza, but chorizo would
work too," Schaefer says. "In the Mediterranean, one folk remedy
involves swallowing a spoonful of olive oil to do the same trick."
Besides filling your stomach before you drink, eating almost any kind of food the morning after can help alleviate a hangover, says Stephanie Brooks, MS, RD, a nutrition consultant in San Francisco. Food provides electrolytes that replenish the body after dehydration. This is especially important for someone who's vomited within the last 24 hours. Brooks particularly recommends a fruit smoothie or a sports drink.

« TT: So you want to see a show? | Main | CAAF: Late morning coffee »

TT: Wrapping it up
I got a bit ahead of myself when I declared at the beginning of September that I'd just put "one last coat of polish on the manuscript" of my Louis Armstrong biography. In fact I ended up doing another month's worth of work on the book, in part because the jazz critic Dan Morgenstern, who knew Armstrong and was kind enough to read the previous draft, sent me a batch of additional notes on the last few chapters. That gave me an excuse to do some further polishing, in the course of which I unearthed more source material...and so on and so forth, ad infinitum. Of the making of books there is no end, saith the Preacher, and he sure knew what he was talking about.
But all things, even the writing of a primary-source biography, must come to an end, and the writing of this book ended on Tuesday night after Mrs. T, who read the manuscript over the weekend, gave me the last of her editorial suggestions, which I hastened to adopt. I read through the whole book from start to finish, and at long last I heard the click in my mind's ear that told me to lay down my blue pencil. It's finished, I said to myself, and I could feel my body slackening with relief as I said it.
On Wednesday morning I e-mailed Andrea Schulz, my editor at Harcourt, to let her know that I was ready to discuss the placement in the text of the "images" of Armstrong (as they're now known in the book trade) that will be included in the published version. She'd already commented in detail on what turned out to be the antepenultimate draft, so the next thing I did was e-mail her the complete finished manuscript. No fanfare, no fuss: I clicked a few keys and off it went, and that was that.
Andrea had already told me that the sales force at Harcourt was lukewarm about "Rhythm Man" as a title, so I went back to the drawing board. Alas, I was getting nowhere fast when she sent me another e-mail in which she mentioned a description by the trumpeter Rex Stewart of a performance given by Armstrong in the early Thirties:
Louis bounced onto the opposite stage, immaculate in a white suit. Somehow, the way the lights reflected off his trumpet made the instrument look like anything but a horn. It looked as if he were holding a wand of rainbows or a cluster of sunlight.
"Might there be a title there?" she said. "It has a poetic ring to it."
I riffled through the prologue of the book, in which Andrea had found Stewart's description, and ran across the following passage:
The trumpeter Max Kaminsky told of how "the combination of Louis's dazzling virtuosity and sensational brilliance of tone so overwhelmed me that I felt as if I had stared into the sun's eye." Such imagery came easily to those who heard Armstrong in his halcyon days. The poet Philip Larkin, a part-time jazz critic and lifelong fan, praised him in similar terms, calling him "something inexhaustible and unchanging like the sun."
A Cluster of Sunlight: The Life of Louis Armstrong, I thought. Not too shabby.
Mrs. T agreed, as did Dan Morgenstern. I Googled the phrase and found it to be unique to Stewart. It looked nice when I dummied up a new title page, and it still looks nice a month later. So that's the new title of my book, and unlike the last one, I think it's going to stick.
Now I'm finished with research, finished with tinkering, ready to put A Cluster of Sunlight aside. As of now, anything I don't already know about the life and work of Louis Armstrong isn't worth knowing, at least as far as I'm concerned. Much, to be sure, remains to be done before the book goes to press a year from now. I still have to pick the images, write the captions, answer the copyeditor's queries, fill out the publicity questionnaire, sign off on the design, edit the galleys, approve the flap copy, and write a stump speech. But the hard part is really and truly over, and though that fact has yet to soak in, I expect that it'll hit me like a tidal wave at some point in the next week or two.
At which point...what? Post-partum depression, more than likely. Or maybe not. After all, I've still got an opera to finish, not to mention my usual full plate of theater-related work. And the exhilaration that goes along with wrapping up a large-scale project takes a fair amount of time to dissipate.
As I wrote in this space four and a half years ago:
Three months ago, All in the Dances didn't exist. Over the years I'd told dozens of people all about George Balanchine's life and work, but every time I had to start fresh. Now there's an inch-thick pile of paper on my kitchen table with a title page on top, the gateway to a world I made, and even though I'll be reviewing a Broadway play tomorrow morning, then writing my Washington Post column in the afternoon, part of me is still back in that world of shadows.
That's why I wanted to tell you now about how it felt--and how it feels. I want to enjoy it just a little while longer before I return to the world of daylight and deadlines.
I feel that way today, and I expect I'll feel the same way tomorrow. This is the longest and most ambitious book I've written, and I think it's worthy of the great and good man who is its subject. In the end, of course, that will be for others to say, not me, but so far they haven't read it. As of this morning, only seven living people have read A Cluster of Sunlight, and I'm one of them. The other six claim to like it as much as I do.
The rest of the world can wait: today I'm content.

Don't leave (research) papers until the last minute: procrastination is one of the leading causes of plagiarism.
Avoid taking shortcuts: accurate documentation may seem like "a waste of time," but you'll "waste" a lot more time trying to defend yourself against an allegation of plagiarism.
Take thorough notes and keep accurate records: be sure to indicate in your notes when you are directly quoting a source, when you are paraphrasing, and when you are summarizing. (Make sure you know the difference between quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing a source!)
When in doubt, ask your instructor: if you aren't sure that you're documenting your sources correctly (whether by using parenthetical references or a fully formatted bibliography), ASK. "But I didn't know!" often isn't considered an adequate defense.
Don't yield to Internet temptations: Buying an essay on the Internet or downloading a website and submitting it as your own work is foolish, for several reasons:
1) Chances are, your professor knows your capabilities as a writer (through in-class writing assignments, midterms, etc.). Submitting an essay whose quality exceeds that of any work you've done prior to that time inevitably looks suspicious.
2) Because Internet essays have to be generic and marketable, they are often not-quite-on-topic. In addition, they may cite materials you haven't covered in class.
3) Websites, particularly those created by specialists in a particular field, may use terminology and vocabulary that is not common parlance among undergraduates. Once a professor becomes suspicious, it often isn't difficult to find the plagiarized website (as an academic integrity officer, it never took me more than half an hour of searching on the web to find evidence of plagiarism). REMEMBER: PROFESSORS ARE PROFESSIONAL RESEARCHERS, trained to find (obscure) information!!

Awww, thought this was a lore tournament to get vengeance on corsairs.
What's so funny about a dominion tournament? because no one plays it? or is that what you just want to believe? SR games just feel too slow sometimes. but a Dominion tourney sounds like a good idea.
how bout you give me the 10,000 and save the trouble for those teams

Mining Publication: Facilitating Task-Based Noise Exposure Assessments Utilizing PDAs
September 2005
The difficulties inherent in hand-recording, editing, and coding observational data can limit both its utility and effectiveness as a tool in exposure assessments. Recently, these limitations were noted during a noise exposure assessment of drill rig operators working at surface mines, where rapid changes in drilling operations and rig operator behaviors occurred simultaneously or in quick succession. In response to these limitations, researchers conducted a feasibility study using a method of collecting observational data that entails a handheld personal digital assistant (PDA) and an observational software system originally developed to record animal behaviors. Field observations were captured using the observational software system and basic PDA operation. These field observations were then merged with personal noise dosimetry readings, and the combined data were graphed to quickly assess the associations between observational events and variations in exposure levels. Once these associations were verified, exposure values could be computed for combinations of rig operations and operator activities. The use of PDAs to record workplace observations allows for greater ease, speed, and accuracy when capturing workplace behaviors and events compared to traditional methods. Furthermore, PDAs provide greater detail during exposure analysis. Limitations of the process are also discussed.

omg! have checked our sims.mdf file and is over 4GB! don't really know how long has it been like that, didn't event know the SQL 2008 Express version that we have was limited to 4GB! Reckon a hurry-and-buy full version of SQL 2008 is on the move to fix this issues. School is shut and i don't know what problem this error will cause next monday when SIMS is expected to be fully operational, have you guys running sql 2008 xpress had similar issue before?
it's my fault, use to check evenvtvwr every monday, but havent' done that since we came back in september, so busy...

Angels backup catcher Bobby Wilson announced on Twitter Thursday that he was done with the social media service because he couldn't stand the negativity:
I'm done with twitter. Try to be fan friendly and all I get is criticism. I wasn't blessed with 5 tools. I worked hard to get here.
— Bobby Wilson (@BW46) August 9, 2012
Nothing like a self-deprecating announcement to elicit some sympathy.
Wilson is a career .215 hitter and batting .228 with two home runs for the Angels this year. He saw daily action after Chris Ianetta got hurt, but he's been playing sporadically since Ianetta returned. He's caught C.J. Wilson the last two times he started, and the southpaw was hit hard both times. Perhaps that's the root of the criticism he's faced.
LBS went back to look at the tweets Wilson was sent over the past week, and it really wasn't too bad. He had about as many supportive tweets as critical ones, and it's not like he was bombarded with very many at all. But we do have a feeling it was tweets like the ones below that got him down:

Apple's loss last week was enormous. I wrote all that I felt I could in the blog farewell on this website to a man I was lucky enough to know a little and admire a great deal. Most are probably now profoundly sick of hearing either how much he was under or overestimated as a man and as a figure of his times. I never knew of any human beings whose achievements were exactly estimated.
The word "estimate" is the clue here. I only know that if I had grandchildren and they heard me tell of my meetings with him they would feel as I might if my grandfather had told me about meeting Henry Ford, Rockefeller or Irving Thalberg. It might be, after all, that Aldous Huxley overestimated Henry Ford by making the dystopian future in his Brave New World name its calendar after him.
Some people become synecdoches, symbols or metonyms. Whether you think he was overpraised by some, underappreciated by others or whether you don't give a hoot doesn't really mean much to me. He mattered to me enormously. The standards he set, the passionate belief he had in the way that technology, the arts, design, fun, elegance and delight could all co-exist, the eternal pushing for higher standards, the refusal to accept standard paradigms in anything, either the conventional modus operandi of corporate affairs, technological matters or market practices was an example from which the world will continue to learn.
Believe me, there will be more than 500 books published in the next year which will claim to be able to teach you how to improve your business/profits/image/career by using the "Jobs example". How he would have loathed that. I have sat on judging panels that have wanted to give him extremely prestigious awards. He only ever accepted awards on behalf of the company, not on his own. Whatever your view of him, huckster, snake-oil salesman, evangelist or hero, the whole point is that copying someone who disdained copying anything would be the dumbest joke of all.
The wider legacy will be determined by that bastard son of a mongrel bitch, history, but there is a short-term one. I had put into my hand a new iPhone 4S just eight or so hours before Steve Jobs left the world. You can imagine, I hope, the ambivalence I felt as I tested and trialled this phone in the knowledge that it was the last fully operational Apple device he would ever see.
Apple has always come up with new iPhone models at regular intervals. The very first appeared in June 2007, the following year saw the Apple 3G which allowed, as the name suggested, 3G data transmission speeds and introduced the idea of the App Store with the resultant explosion of third-party apps, whose imagination, range, variation and ingenuity still continue to astonish.
In 2009 came the iPhone 3GS. "Oh," said the world, in a rather hurt, disappointed voice, "that's rather odd. Why, it looks just like the 3G. It's hardly different at all."
The "S" stood for speed and some felt that a souped-up 3G barely qualified as a new phone at all. Why the need for the already tiresome cliche photographs of queues outside the 5th Avenue store in New York and the unhealthy sight of chubby, bearded geeks brandishing their new boxes? Surely Apple was exploiting this whole hype launch cycle without any real innovation to back it up?
In fact the release of the 3GS coincided with a new operating system, 3.0, which gave us the much-needed cut and paste facility whose embarrassing absence had been a distressing nuisance, it added MMS, and a whole new suite of extras, Voice Control and tethering, for example, all of which were also possible on an "old" 3G or even original iPhone 1 if they upgraded their firmware, but which really proved themselves on the 3GS's faster Cortex A8 processor.
Despite the initial disappointment, the success of the 3GS was instantaneous, Apple sold a million units in the first weekend, and the model's continued triumph created the conditions that allowed for the Apple iOS product line that followed: the iPhone 4 and the iPad. To put it crudely, the 3GS was such an outstanding win that it made Apple cash-rich enough to be able to move forward in all kinds of ways.

What was advertised as a showdown involving two superstars in the world of football eventually turned into an ugly and chippy affair that featured wasted scoring opportunities and players kicking opponents. Then, with the clock ticking down, the man who may be the best (healthy) footballer on earth delivered what could, for his nation, prove to be a golden goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo found the back of the net eight minutes from time to propel Portugal to a 1-0 victory over Sweden in the first leg of the World Cup playoff. Just as important as was Ronaldo's spot on header was the fact that the hosts made it to the final whistle without conceding. The two sides will meet again in Stockholm on Tuesday, November 19 (2:30 pm ET kickoff).
Friday's contest easily could have been 1-1 inside of the opening ten minutes of play. Portugal did little despite having the bulk of the possession, and Johan Elmander was unable to turn a Sweden counterattack into anything of value. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was largely an invisible man, through no fault of his own, minus one attempt from distance that was always curling away from the target. Ronaldo wasn't much better.
A scoreless first half was followed by a second half that saw the visitors gas out as the match wore on. Ronaldo showed more and more signs of life after the hour mark, however, and it was right around the 75th minute that the Real Madrid star seemed ready to enter another gear. That he did, and at the perfect time.
Hugo Almeida played a short pass down the left wing for Miguel Veloso, who looped a cross toward the center of the penalty area. Ronaldo did well to cut in front of his marker before lunging his body downward and forward, and effort that allowed him to tuck the ball past the outstretched hand of goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson.
A near replay of that goal occurred three minutes later. This time it was Almeida who delivered a far-post cross into the mixer, and Ronaldo, as he often does, rose above the pack and won the header. His attempt beat Isaksson but not the crossbar, and there was no Portuguese player there to send a second shot toward goal.
Ibrahimovic will likely be looking to make a statement on Tuesday after being outdone on Friday. Both he and Ronaldo were credited with a single shot on target. Ronaldo's went in, and he finished the match with six other registered shots. Ibrahimovic's one on-target attempt was his lone of the match. Even more lackluster was that Ibrahimovic finished the game without recording a single touch inside the box.
Sweden now know that they have an uphill battle standing in front of them and a ticket to Brazil. They not only have to notch at least a single tally in order to have even a chance of playing in next summer's World Cup. They will have to keep a very dangerous Portugal attack off of the scoreboard, or bury a barrage of goals themselves.
No easy task.
True superstars step up on the big stage when the situation demands it. It doesn't get any bigger in the international game than the World Cup. This night belonged to Ronaldo and to Portugal, who are now that much closer to being invited to world football's biggest party.
Your move, Ibra.

This year the United States is on track to see the most cases of measles in more than a decade, despite the fact that the disease was declared eliminated in 2000. In 2010, California had its worst whooping cough outbreak in 50 years. In 2012, Washington state declared a pertussis epidemic so severe, it surpassed the toll of any year since the 1940s, before a vaccine went into wide use.
The reason we're seeing a resurgence of diseases once believed to be eradicated by science is largely thanks to the anti-vaccination movement. When vaccination rates drop, everyone becomes more vulnerable to infectious diseases. In the 200 years since vaccines were first developed, over a dozen of what used to be the most common infections have been virtually eliminated -- but of course, vaccines only protect our heath when they're taken.
Illustrating this point in a deliberately provocative way is a new video patterned after pharmaceutical ads. The tagline: "Vaccines. And now my kids don't die."
The video is just a minute long, but it includes all the familiar hallmarks of a medication ad: the lady speaking into the camera, random footage of her family at play, and a rapid-fire rundown of treatment effects ("Vaccines are used to prevent anthrax chicken pox diphtheria hepatitis A hepatitis B HPV influenza Japanese encephalitis measles mumps pertussis polio rabies rotovirus rubella shingles smallpox tetanus tuberculosis typhoid fever yellow fever and more!") along with a warning ("Do not take Vaccines if you've chosen to die from the mumps").
Plus, this gut-punch of a line:
Studies have shown vaccines to be highly effective in preventing children from dying.
Check out the clip, produced by the comedy video team Strangemeal:
Here also is an infographic from ThinkProgress on the impact of vaccinations on Americans' health:
Pretty damn scary to think about how vaccination resistance is changing some of those numbers on the right. What might this chart look like in 10 years, if people continue refusing to vaccinate their kids?
What did you think of this video?
Image via YouTube
love it!
I think it's stupid. Besides shaming those who don't vaccinate for religious reasons, it ignores those of us that don't do it for health and medical reasons.
That's because you deserve to be shamed.
It's easy to judge when you don't know someone's life story.
Ashley, those in your category have enjoyed the protection of the widespead vaccination of the community around you. As more people refuse vaccines for whatever reason, that protection is going to drop. This resistance to vaccinate should worry you more than anyone. My kids are vaccinated!
I understand that fully, what I don't understand is how shaming them will help anything. It takes knowledge and education to change a person's mind and opinion, not ridicule.
I like the idea- so many young people haven't SEEN their friends dying from these diseases, so the danger seems unreal. My parents remember the deaths and think vaccines are a God-send.
I'd love it if it explained how vaccines, when delivered in great enough numbers to produce herd immunity, can protect those unable/too young to get vaccines, but that's a concept that seems to confuse the issue for many, and somehow the #s of vaccinated are headed lower and lower, well beyond those groups.
Sometimes, but more often shame, ridicule, and particularily fear, works wonders. If you are looking for some knowledge on that, read Freakanomics, the chapter 5.
Thank you!!!! Vaccinations are vital. Period.
