MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Darrell Arthur scored 20 points and Mike Conley added 19 as the Memphis Grizzlies beat Los Angeles 106-93 Wednesday night, handing the Lakers' their fourth straight loss and 10th in 12 games.
Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni had talked before the game about how having an All-Star team with players not having learned their pecking order. Yet Los Angeles lost its seventh consecutive road game, and center Dwight Howard missed the second half after aggravating his sore shoulder in the first half.
Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph and Tony Allen added 12 points apiece as Memphis improved to 12-0 when scoring at least 100 points. Randolph also grabbed 10 rebounds. The Grizzlies had a 60-34 edge in the paint with Howard out the second half.
Kobe Bryant scored 29 points for the Lakers, Metta World Peace added 15, Pau Gasol 13 and Earl Clark 11.

It's only recently that the stigma attached to dementia has lessened. For a long time, Chuck's relatives didn't talk much about their family history. But since his diagnosis in 2004, Chuck has talked with support groups, participated in research and testified before Congress.
His cousin Gary Reiswig, who now knows he does not carry the PS2 gene variation, has gone even more public about the disease that has ravaged his family. His new book, The Thousand Mile Stare: One Family's Journey through the Science and Struggle of Alzheimer's, is a very personal journey through generations of disease and tragedy.
The book opens in 1936, when Gary and Chuck's grandfather, perhaps in the early stages of Alzheimer's, drove his truck into the path of an oncoming train in rural Oklahoma. He and one of his sons were injured, and his wife was killed. From that story, so emblematic of the family's problems, the book spans two continents and more than two hundred years. The family's roots as "Volga Germans" who left Germany to farm land along the Volga River in Russia in the 1700s are interesting, but it's the little details of daily life with Alzheimer's that make this book so riveting.

Pants are or good quality. This is the second pair I have purchased.
Very good value and they fit!
When they arrived, they seemed quite light. But after wearing them to work for a few days, I learned they are not very breathable. Im thinking they will be much better when the temp drops. But over all great quailty construction.
The inseams could be a little more friendly to short people. The inseam ended at 31, what about the 29,28,27,and the 26.
I really was surprised at the quality of the items and do plan on ordering more in the near further. The fit was better than expected.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I read your column last week. You started by praising the mana increase in its ability to stop shield spamming. You even mentioned you couldn't do it yourself even with an innervate on heroic maloriak (which calls into question your claim that all 359 gear overcomes the mana nerf fix). You then pointed out that some priests were still able to spam shields using a holy/disc hybrid spec with soul warding. That was quickly squashed in a hotfix by blizzard which you also praised.
So once again, it seems wow insider columnists can only applaud blizzard changes. For more evidence see the not too distant 'great kitty druid nerf' and the shifting perspectives column discussing the changes as positive. I don't play a druid and every druid I know mothballed their toon after the great nerf hit. But somehow this change was supposed to be good for them.
Now, as far as the majority of your reply trying to defend the new healing model over shield spamming-that's a strawman. I've never claimed the shield spam model was fun and I don't support it. My comment was calling you out for praising the 15 second rule as a fix and asking why wow insider columnists are incapable of finding anything bad to say about a change.
The 15 second change is going to do 2 things in PvE: increase disc overhealing (shields don't get to absorb full damage) and decrease mana return via rapture (less time to shield in preparation of an incoming AoE). Those do NOTHING to further the anti-shield spamming effort by blizzard.
As for the argument of gear eventually allowing shield spam to re-emerge, that may be true. But it's no different for any other healing class as holy will be able to spam more flash heals as gear improves. Eventually holy pallys will be able to spam FoL again. This is a problem that blizz created and that blizz has to now figure out. And defending the new 15 second rule as some miracle solution to bubble spam is not convincing me.
There will be no video forthcoming of me eating my own head. Your arguments are bunk.

FRIDAY, Nov. 19 (HealthDay News) -- Among patients with
end-stage kidney disease, those who are admitted to the hospital
over a weekend are more likely to die earlier than those admitted
on weekdays, new research suggests.
"Further research is needed to identify the reasons for this 'weekend effect' and to institute appropriate interventions," study co-author Dr. Ankit Sakhuja, a resident in internal medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, said in a news release from the American Society of Nephrology.
Sakhuja and colleagues examined the medical records of patients
who were hospitalized, and compared those who entered the hospitals
on weekdays with those who were admitted on weekends. In 2007,
about 20 percent of hospitalizations for people with end-stage
kidney disease took place during the weekend.
After adjusting their statistics so they wouldn't be thrown off
by factors such as other medical conditions and hospital
characteristics, the researchers found that the end-stage kidney
disease patients admitted over the weekend were 17 percent more
likely to die in the hospital compared to those admitted on
It also took longer -- typically about one-third of a day longer
-- for patients admitted on weekends to begin dialysis, the study
authors noted.
Sakhuja said other research has shown a negative "weekend
effect" in the treatment of other diseases, perhaps due to limited
staffing and resources on weekends.
"The restricted dialysis services on weekends may result in delayed care of the fluid and electrolyte imbalances, which can result in higher mortality," Sakhuja explained in the news release. "Our study stresses the need to redesign hospital staffing models to assure improved staff and dialysis availability for patients dependent on dialysis over the weekends."
The study was scheduled for presentation Thursday at the
American Society of Nephrology's annual meeting and scientific
exposition in Denver. Because the study hasn't been published in a
peer-reviewed journal, the data and conclusions should be viewed as

Hundreds of people are in Fluvanna County walking around the clock to fight cancer.
Fluvanna's second annual Relay for Life kicked off Saturday afternoon with a survivor's lap. Cancer survivors led the pack, cheered on by supportive teammates.
The relay has already raised more than $91,000 - just short of its $100,000 goal.
"The community really came together to fight cancer. A small community like Fluvanna County that has 25,000 people in it - we're going to raise over $100,000. I just think it's amazing," said Corven Flynn, member of the Fork Union Baptist relay team.
The relay continues until 7 a.m. Sunday at Fluvanna County Middle School.
The pajama lap, a food fight, and a tug of war are still to come. Anyone can come out and register and join the fun at any time overnight.

Hoops Dynasty Interview
Recently, I interview the people over at WhatIfSports and learned some of the future plans and history of the amazing basketball game Hoops Dynasty!
Questions by la287:
-- Can you describe WhatIfSports to any visitors who have yet to visit
the site? What does the site offer and why should they sign up?
-- What are the technical specifications of the game?
-- What work does it take to update the Hoops Dynasty sim engine? How
many people and what kind of time is required?
-- What work did it take to set up Hoops Dynasty, when it was being
prepared for release? It must have taken hundreds of hours to plan each
aspect of the game, not to mention re-create it.
-- For any game designers out there, what advice can you give on
creating the best experience for the player?
-- What are some of the upcoming features and plans for Hoops Dynasty,
besides those included in the coaches e-mail at the end of each season?
-- How does the "recent" acquisition of WhatifSports by Fox Interactive
Media? How will WiS cooperate with Electronic Arts, Inc., to make a more
realistic experience for its users (both for game consoles and online)?
Several questions from the user Weena:
-- Your team is a heavy underdog and the team you are playing is clearly
better than yours. Do you stick with the status quo or do you shake
things up and try something crazy?
-- You show up on a previously undecided prospect's considering list at
the same time as two other human coaches. Do you stay and fight it out
or do you look elsewhere?
-- Are you more offensive or defensive oriented? Why?
-- Do you game plan differently if you are playing against a human coach
than if you are playing against a Sim AI coach?
*Inspired by goodtymes31:*
-- What do you think is more important, game planning or recruiting?
Question from ermd2000:
-- Do you always change a new team (you just became coach of) to the
offense/defense you prefer, or do you try to recruit to the existing O/D
and make it work?
Questions from ka49s:
-- How can you address the alleged randomness in the game?
-- Can you provide a reason for many veterans of HD quitting suddenly?
It has been said it might have to do with the static nature of the game;
do you have any major updates in store?
Questions by r0b0t:

Resilience no longer keeps you from being crit, making crit a much better PvP stat than it used to be. I am therefore having a blast with my crit-heavy Frost PvP build running around blowing things up.
Re Chillblains: Somehow I can never shake the suspicion that this talent secretly sucks, especially when Chains of Ice applies Frost Fever and is a much better snare. In Cata, Frost DKs will be able to talent into Desecration, which is better in every conceivable way.
Chains of Ice is an excellent snare, but it also costs 1 Frost rune, so it will severely limit your options if you want to keep it permanently applied. More Chains of Ice = Less Obliterates. Investing in an empowered Frost Fever is worth it because you'll always have it applied on your opponent, anyway.

Metro's future Wiehle Station is really beginning to take shape, with the structure for stairways and escalators in place at the sides of the Dulles Toll Road.
Crews will soon be putting in place pedestrian bridges over the toll road that will link the stairs and the station.
The stop, the final one of Silver Line Phase 1, is expected to open in Dec. 2013. Metro officials say the stations and tracks should be completed and ready for testing by next August.

The New York Times recently posed statistics as the hot, up-and-coming field for jobs.
Now The San Jose Mercury News has an entertaining -- yes, entertaining -- interview with Sam Savage, a consulting professor of management science and engineering at Stanford University and a fellow at the Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge. His book "The Flaw of Averages" takes on what he calls the "steam-era statistics" of the Industrial Age.
He says some things you might expect, in how statistics relates to business:
A blizzard is a good analogy. If you focus on the individual snowflakes, you'll go nuts. It takes statistical thinking to make out what the storm is doing as a whole.
It sounds like business intelligence, doesn't it?
He explains why if you and your spouse generally are on time, as a couple you'll be late, on average. Then there's the question posed to him about statisticians' pickup lines. Yes, entertaining.

Woman answers to theft; stolen goods chargesJune 19,2013Woman answers to theft charges
A Rutland woman denied this week that she shoplifted or was found in possession of more than $1,000 worth of stolen goods from stores in Rutland and Manchester.
Rebecca L. Lambert, 32, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court Monday to misdemeanor charges of retail theft, possessing stolen property and operating a motor vehicle without a license. She was released after her arraignment on court ordered conditions.
The charges against Lambert stem from two separate incidents in late April and May.
She was first arrested and cited to appear in court on April 28 after store security at Walmart in Rutland told police Lambert had been seen stealing $84 worth of beauty products and clothing, according to court records.
On May 17, a Vermont State Police trooper arrested Lambert after a search of her car, found by police pulled off to the side of Route 7 in Wallingford, uncovered $1,005 worth of clothing reported stolen from the Orvis and Orvis Outlet stores in Manchester, police said.
If convicted of all three charges, Lambert faces a maximum penalty of up to 3 1/2 years in jail.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryBENNINGTON — A local man was killed in a one-car accident Saturday.

Happy holidays everyone! Getting packages delivered to your door is always exciting. Here at the library it's like Christmas every day, because we get new books in our mail.
It's always fun to rip off the packing tape and peek inside, but it's been especially awesome lately because we have been getting tons of new holiday books. Here are a few of my recent favorites, kid-tested at story times over the past few weeks:

Salt and Pepa on Life, the Library, and What it Means to be a 21st Century Rodent
Published on Monday, December 10, 2012
Nearly every morning at Watha T. Daniel Neighborhood Library, you will see small children pour out of story time, toddle up to the children's desk, and stop dead in their tracks. Once they've caught a glimpse of library rock stars, Salt and Pepa, it's all over. When these two spotlight-loving gerbils decide to turn on the charm, it's impossible to miss their mesmerized fans laughing, clapping, jumping and squealing in delight.
As librarians, who generally lack fur and who rarely exercise using revolving wheels, we find these guys can be a tough act to follow. But are we jealous of all the attention they receive? Well, maybe just a little. We decided it was about time to figure out what all the fuss is about. What makes them such a sensation? What keeps them up at night? What are their hopes and dreams? Some of their answers surprised us, and may surprise you too.
Come see what all the fun is about on Dec. 19!

I wisecracked to a friend that I was grateful to have survived the most recent political conventions. Even though my experience of the convention was limited to watching a few important speeches for two nights, nevertheless, it was an event difficult to endure. The abundance of partisan assertions and red meat affirmations of political orthodoxy were a bit much to take.

We have a responsibility to translate the word from medical terminology — derived from other languages — to a layman's understanding of what their condition might be. So chronic hypertrophic tonsillitis sounds like a threatening term. All it means is a long duration infection of the tonsils that are a little large in their size. And once the patient understands that that's the condition they have — that their tonsils are large, they have frequent infections, and the infection does not easily go away with treatment — they have a better understanding.
The technology of today has allowed us to do more advanced work with much fewer risks of injury to the patient and far better outcomes than ever before.

First Trax :: Daily News
Story by Mike Doble - firstname.lastname@example.com
My inbox has a lot of questions about why this or that ski resort hasn't made enough snow to open when Cataloochee, Sugar, Beech, Wisp or Snowshoe have. I can tell you that commerce has something to do with it, but MOSTLY it's the temperatures. Simply put, some ski areas just have not had the temps to make snow or much of it. THAT WILL CHANGE THIS WEEK and by this time next weekend we're thinking most everyone will feel better.
We usually attempt to answer a lot of those kind of complaint emails (about the weather) but not today. When you consider the gut-wrenching pain that people across the country are experiencing this morning and particularly those close to the Connecticut horror of Friday morning - I don't think any of us have anything to complain about.
'Nuff said on that subject... (both of them)...except to say that we really can't call any reporting about a lack of snow "bad news" this morning, can we? I'm sure that I share the sentiment of millions to say that those families are in our prayers this morning.
"Close" is a relative statement here, but in the case it was actually pretty close as on Wednesday it passed within 18 lunar distances of earth.
That news kind of went unreported didn't it? Probably would have had some December doomsdayers clamoring for attention. You can see a rather ominous look at it and hear some ghostly music accompanying it at Weather.com. See: http://www.weather.com/weather/videos/news-41/space-449/close-call-asteroid-photographed-33256
I guess this IS a ski and snowboarding website isn't it?
...Adam Goudelock of AppNet and part of our on-snow team designed this new snowboard that Donek is creating for us!
We have MORE ski areas open today that at any point so far this season! While that isn't exactly earth-shakingly-great it IS news. Today we have FIVE ski resorts of the 16 snow resorts open. (Liberty is also open but they are an artificial/snowflex area.) Snowshoe leads the way with 21 trails - which is more than the other four resorts combined. That isn't being reported as a slap to the others. It's simply illustrating what IS going on.
Some are reporting Packed Powder conditions!?!?! Some manmade powder. There's no powder of any kind in the region right now. That will change but not until the middle of next week.
While we're fighting through temps in the 40s in places this morning, Northstar at Tahoe is reporting 8°. Bill! Send some of those temps our way!
THEY ARE COMING...maybe not quite that cold, but they're headed our way. The question I'm getting so often right now is WHEN. We're gotten great weather forecasts from Herb Stevens and Brad Panovich and you can check those out at http://www.skisoutheast.com/videos.php
Both meteorologists are saying to "Keep the faith" as cold air WILL HIT IN EARNEST around December 18th and it looks to be sticking around with some natural snow to boot - through the end of the month and beyond.
As of Tuesday of this week there should be daily snowmaking happening at all of the ski areas and with seven days of snowmaking AND some natural snow coming around, we'll see lots of pristine conditions at ALL of the resorts in the region PRIOR to Christmas.
That is the IMPORTANT news is that all of the ski areas SHOULD be open with PRISTINE conditions prior to Christmas. A lot of people head to their favorite mountain on December 26th or so and by then, smiles will be on everyone's faces. The question will be HOW MANY trails each resort has open, but there should be plenty of time to make focused snow and open plenty of terrain at YOUR favorite ski resort between now and Christmas Day!
Here's the deets for today:
Snowshoe writes, "Demo Days is this weekend! We're also celebrating the Grand Opening of our new Smith Optics store in the Village. Join us for the Grand Opening Fiesta!"
Beech made snow through early on Thursday and laid down a lot of manmade snow and they are open today and tonight. There are some thin coverage areas showing down at the base. Conditions are variable.
Mark your calendars for Beech's New Year plans! They write:
Beech has a GREAT weather page running on their website. Check it out at:
Cat writes:
And if you want to come and check it out...yes, you get a full refund after one run if you are unhappy with conditions! Today, we will be skiing from midstation down on 3 slopes with 2 aerial lifts operating from 8:30am until 4:30pm. Once again, guests unhappy with conditions will receive a full refund after one run. Refunds will not be given after that. Night skiing will begin on Monday, December 17. See you for skiing and riding from 8:30am- 4:30pm!
Wisp writes, "Welcome to the 2012/2013 Winter Season! Wisp Resort is open today from 9am - 9pm with $35 Adult lift tickets and $29 Junior lift tickets."
Sugar is hosting their SugarFest Festival today and Sunday. They write:
Sugarfest - continues today through tomorrow the 16th. Skiers, snowboarders, ice skaters, foodies, music lovers, families, weekend warriors, any type of winter shopper and Olympic athlete followers, we've got something for all of you.
Appalachian Ski Mountain - 39° - is offering ice skating today, but is closed for skiing and snowboarding until weather permits additional snowmaking.
The photo to the right show APP this morning and we've seen resorts open with LESS! Hats off to App for wanting to deliver great conditions before opening.
Sapphire Valley - 32.9° - Target Opening for Ski Sapphire Valley - December 19,2012 for Tube Run; December 21st for Ski Slopes. Sapphire has made snow and with some consistent cold temps coming in this week should be able to meet their hoped for opening dates.
Snowshoe Mountain - Already covered above...
Canaan Valley Resort wrote, "To allow our snowmakers adequate time to develop the best skiing conditions for our guest, the opening date has been extended to Wednesday, December 26th. Visit our website pages for special value season lodging and lift ticket offers available through December 28th."
We shipped a new streaming cam to Canaan this week and look forward to some sweet views real soon!
We get a lot of comments about that cam and it's pretty awesome to me as well!
Anyone else REALLY LIKE the new Winterplace website? There's just something about it that I REALLY love. The colors and clarity of the site is really quite nice. It may be the best website of all the resorts in the area to me. I really like Canaan's as well and of course Snowshoe's and Wisp's are nice.
Bryce Resort - Snow was made at the base last night but temperatures limited snowmaking at the top. Keep checking back here for the latest opening information!
Massanutten Resort wrote, "Our snow makers have been hard at work over the last two nights making snow. We will be making snow tonight as temperatures allow. We plan to open as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience."
Homestead Resort has made some snow. They too are hoping to open next week. Homestead has a new LIVE STREAMING camera and we're supposed to be working with their new marketing team to display that and a snow report this winter. The Homestead has really not offered one in the past.
Wintergreen Resort has made snow and wrote, "Opening day is likely to be after 12/19."
We just took LIVE a new streaming camera showing lots of Christmas lights in downtown Bryson City on Friday. That camera is located at the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad which will make for some great views for you train buffs as well as some super Autumn colors in season. More about that soon.
...We HAD to post this guy's TripAdvisor photo as his name is Mike Doyle. That ISN'T ME folks...not even close. However he's posted the only rare news coming out of the area about Wolf.
Ray's Weather is showing that it's 44.8° and even that is better than what Wolf is "promoting" on their own site. These guys have just quit working with anyone and have gone quieter than a "mouse peeing on cotton" says many who live and work close to the ski area.
One of our messageboard members posted, "I hope we are not heading in the direction of adding another resort to the boneyard list."
According to Wolf's Facebook page, they made snow Wednesday but it was a very small amount. To say the least many of their Facebook posts aren't happy.
If you're reading this, do me a favor if you would. If you're on Facebook or Twitter - would you do us a favor and share our Facebook and Twitter content pages with your snow loving friends. We're going to be doing some sweet contests this season along with the 25 days of Christmas giveaway where we will be giving away lift passes every day of the month through Christmas Day. We'll have some vacations to give away as well so to get the BEST chances to win, follow us on Twitter at www.Twitter.com/Skisoutheast

Almost perfect, but not quite. The flavor was a little lacking without modifications, although they were small. I suggest upping the tomato paste and molasses by an extra tablespoon (or two). The first time I made them I actually ended up adding it in towards the end when I wasn't happy with the flavor, so you can play around with it. Also, while there are a lot of different spices, I wouldn't skip any (especially the smoked paprika). They're essential.
Smoky Baked Beans with Chorizo

I needed a recipe that I could cook in my crock pot or roaster for a large crowd and this was it! I'm not a big fan of sausage so I used bacon instead. I cooked the beans until tender and then added in the sauce ingredients and turned my cooker up to let the sauce thicken. If you are going to leave these in a slow cooker you need to cut back on the water so that they are not too soupy. These beans were a hit!
KarlyV Posted: 07/01/11
Made these for a Canada Day cookout. Absolutely fantastic!

These beans were very good and tasted even better the second day.
