17. Dallas Cowboys
Calvin Pryor
Safety, Louisville
Calvin Pryor is flying up draft boards. He even surpassed his fellow Louisville safety, Hakeem Smith. He can play both safety spots because he is a vicious hitter and great tackler, but athletic enough to make plays in center field. The Cowboys have struggled at safety for more than a few years now. Barry Church played alright as the Cowboys leading tackler this season, but undrafted rookie, Jeff Heath, is not the long term answer. Pryor hasn't been tested much in coverage, but would fill the role of a powerful hitter in the backfield quickly and easily. The Cowboys could also look to pick CB Jason Verrett if they feel he is worth the #16 pick.
Previous Pick: DE Kony Ealy
18. New York Jets
Marqise Lee
Wide Receiver, USC
If the Jets believe Geno Smith is good enough to be groomed into their future QB, it's time to start surrounding Geno Smith with real weapons. Marqise Lee was the best receiver in the draft heading into the season, so the Jets will be happy if he falls to them at #18. Lee is getting no love after having an average season with an average quarterback, multiple play callers, and a whole bunch of drama at USC. He is still a great route-runner and receiver, as seen in the Las Vegas Bowl.
19. Miami Dolphins
Taylor Lewan
Offensive Tackle, Michigan
The Dolphins did nothing to replace Jake Long on the offensive line, and the offense has struggled because of it. The Dolphins will being in their next era of Michigan left tackles, Taylor Lewan. Lewan would bring a tenacity and competitiveness that was lacking on the front line this season. He has quick feet and bursts off the line. He is only falling this far because he needs to develop his technique a bit more to stand up to premier NFL pass rushers. He will improve the running lanes for the emerging Lamar Miller as well.
Previous Pick: OT Cyrus Kouandjio
20. Arizona Cardinals
Jason Verrett
Cornerback, TCU
The Cardinals whiffed on Antoine Cason, Jerraud Powers, and Javier Arenas in free agency last year. I have seen Verett mocked as high as #12. He looks like the best pure corner in the draft, but he lacks the size (5'10″, 176 lbs.) to be considered a top prospect. He plays like he is 6'3″, 230 lbs. though, throwing his body at the ball in run support and in coverage. The Cardinals have a good opportunity to create one of the best young secondaries in the NFL featuring Patrick Peterson, Tyrann Mathieu, and Verrett.
Previous Pick: OT Cameron Erving (staying at Florida St.)
21. Green Bay Packers
Eric Ebron
Tight End, North Carolina
Jermichael Finley has stated he would like to return to the NFL next season. Whether or not the Packers decide to bring Finley back, they need a plan to replace him. Finley is coming off a career-threatening neck injury and has never really been able to put it together, even with all his talent. Adding Ebron creates a mismatch for almost any defender in the NFL. Ebron is fast, physical, and can make insane catches in contact. Eric Ebron would make life for Aaron Rodgers much easier in the open field and especially in the red zone. If CJ Mosely is still on the board, he is definitely still an option.
Previous Pick: MLB CJ Mosely
22. Philadelphia Eagles
Ryan Shazier
Outside Linebacker, Ohio State
The Eagles need to add some explosion to their defense to match that offense. Ryan Shazier is very fast and instinctive, recording over 22 tackles for loss this season at Ohio State and 44.5 in his three year career. Shazier had 6 sacks this season and is a tackling machine that will bolster the veteran linebacking core of the Eagles. The Eagles could also target a corner here.
Previous Pick: OLB Vic Beasley (staying at Clemson)
23. Kansas City Chiefs
CJ Mosely
Inside Linebacker, Alabama
Inside linebacker is not an immediate need for the Chiefs, but with Mosely left on the board, they will get excellent value at pick #23. The Chiefs need to have a plan for when Derrick Johnson retires. Mosely would also just be a nice fit alongside Johnson for the next few years in the 3-4. CJ Mosely probably has the talent to be a top-15 pick. Mosely is an elite athlete coming from one of the best defenses in college football. Mosely should be able to make an immediate impact in the Packers' rush defense, and has the athleticism and instincts to become great in pass defense.
Previous Pick: WR Odell Beckham Jr.
24. Cincinnati Bengals
Stephon Tuitt
Defensive End, Notre Dame
Michael Johnson is a free agent this year and Domata Peko will be a free agent (and 30 years old) after next year. Geno Atkins was also hurt the entire year and the defensive line was not nearly as effective without him. Adding some youth and athleticism will help. Stephon Tuitt has the athleticism and skill to play either DE or DT in the Bengals' 4-3 defense, and would add some much needed versatility for their defense. Tuitt would be able to stick around the midwest and finish his degree at Notre Dame, a concern of HC Brian Kelly that almost held him out of this years draft.
Previous Pick: OLB Ryan Shazier
25. San Diego Chargers
Justin Gilbert
Cornerback, Oklahoma St.
The Chargers are in desperate need of help and youth in the secondary, and Gilbert is possibly the best CB prospect in the draft. He is a physical ballhawk on the outside and would add plenty of athleticism to improve the Chargers' secondary. Gilbert has great size at 6'0″ 200 lbs. and has the speed to bring it to the house every time he touches the ball. He has returned 5 kickoffs for touchdowns in his career at Oregon State and led the Big 12 with 6 interceptions in 2013. He must work on his technique to avoid getting burned by NFL receivers.
26. Cleveland Browns (from Indianapolis)
Zach Martin
Offensive Guard, Notre Dame
The Browns picked up their hopeful franchise quarterback, Blake Bortles, earlier in the draft. Now, they need to keep him clean and give him enough time to build a rapport with Josh Gordon. Martin played LT at Notre Dame, but does not have great size or speed to continue playing LT in the NFL so he will likely move inside. The Browns already have a premier left tackle in Joe Thomas and a premier center in Alex Mack, so adding Martin could give Bortles the best blindside protection in the NFL. Martin is strong, fast, and able to block on the move. The Browns may also want to snag another receiver here to give Bortles even more weapons.
27. New Orleans Saints
Cyrus Kouandjio
Offensive Tackle, Alabama
New Orleans didn't allow a bunch of sacks this season, but when Brees isn't kept upright, this offense completely stalls. The Saints still need to replace Carl Nicks and Jermon Bushrod on the left side. Kouandjio is the third Alabama player coming off the board, and is the best offensive line prospect left. Cyrus Kouandjio is a physical specimen for a lineman who gets off the line quickly and establishes running lanes early. He still has work to do in passing protection, but he has shown improvement. He is an animal in the running game, and he will improve the running lanes for Darren Sproles and Mark Ingram as well.
Previous Pick: OT Taylor Lewan
28. Carolina Panthers
Davante Adams
Wide Receiver, Fresno State
The Panthers have needed another wide receiver for a long, long time. Steve Smith can still get it done, but not for much longer. Davante Adams has the speed to stretch a defense. Adams could easily go in the top-15, however like Derek Carr, most of his tape is against lesser competition, which could cause him to be drafted later than expected. The Panthers will take a chance on him if it means it will help the development of Cam Newton and improve the slow, 29th ranked passing offense.
29. New England Patriots
David Yankey
Offensive Guard, Stanford
The Patriots are in dire need of a receiver, but unfortunately, none of the top receiver options are available at #29. Protecting Tom Brady is the next biggest need. Logan Mankins got burned a few times in the AFC Championship, but he doesn't need to be immediately upgraded (even though he is already 31). Dan Connoly, however, definitely needs to be. Yankey is stout and powerful. He is good at pulling quickly and getting downfield. Imagine if LeGarrette Blount didn't even make contact with a defender until he was 3-4 yards past the line of scrimmage and had a blocker that could get to the second level. We could actually witness the Patriots officially become a power running team because that would be a very potent combination.
Previous Pick: NT Louis Nix
30. San Francisco 49ers
Odell Beckham Jr.
Wide Receiver, LSU
The 49ers have a good receiving core with Anquan Boldin and Michael Crabtree. But, the 49ers have been knocking at the door of a Super Bowl championship for 3 years now, and 'good' isn't good enough anymore. Boldin is 33 and Crabtree just cannot put it together for a full season. He has only eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving once in his 5-year career and was never a burner anyway. Beckham has great top-line speed but even better acceleration. He is dangerous with the ball and has home run ability. He is best at stretching the field and going deep, which would be a huge asset for Colin Kaepernick as he develops his passing game to match the explosiveness of his running ability.
Previous Pick: CB Marcus Roberson
31. Denver Broncos
Marcus Roberson
Cornerback, Florida
If the Broncos had a better secondary, they would easily be the best team in the NFL. Instead, they had the 27th ranked passing defense, allowing 254.4 passing YPG. Champ Bailey is 35 years old and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is a free agent after the season. The Broncos need to add some youth into that secondary. Roberson is strong enough to press against bigger receivers and quick enough to keep smaller, faster receivers from getting any separation. He also has quick closing speed to bait quarterbacks into throwing his way. Roberson had a rough senior year, only playing in 7 games. But, he has shown the dedication to getting better and the talent to become a starter in the NFL. He finished at Florida with 17 pass breakups and 3 interceptions.
Previous Pick: CB Jason Verrett
32. Seattle Seahawks
Austin Seferian-Jenkins
Tight End, Washington
I still can't bring myself to change this pick because it would just fit so nicely. With five receivers off the board already, the Seahawks will have to look at other positions to find help for Russell Wilson. Seferian-Jenkins will stick around in Seattle to give Wilson a legit red zone threat and add some consistency to the offense. Sidney Rice isn't dependable and Percy Harvin can barely crack the field, but Wilson still looked promising. Jenkins is a huge target for Wilson and would add another dimension to the offense that ranks 2nd in rushing but only 24th in passing.

1. Hit The Deck is one of the first festivals of the year. Are you excited for the festival season? How do you prepare?
Not to get too jock about it but I've been getting in shape! Hitting the gym and what not. I'm not 21 anymore so I can't rock out all day, party all night and get no sleep. This is our first tour and first fest of the year and that usually means an extra level of excitement and partying, so I'll be ready physically. As for my liver being ready, that's another story! Army of Freshmen tends to go a little overboard at festivals with the partying.
2. There's a lot of bands playing across the day so why should people come and see you?
Because every once and while it's good to see a band whose circulation isn't cut off from their jeans. In all seriousness though, we put on a FUN show. We're not pretending to be pissed off. We're happy to be there and we want the audience to have a good time. Plus we're giving away money during our set… no seriously… we are.
3. Hit The Deck is an all day event with an after party that will go long into the night. What are your tips for surviving the whole event?
Sleep the night before- not easy to do. Lots of water- easy to do. Pace the drinking- not easy to do. Make sure you get a meal in- easy to do. Use sweet dance moves to pick up a member of the opposite sex at the after party- impossible to do!
4. Are there any other bands you are hoping to catch on the day?
For sure! Cool for us cause there's a lot of UK bands we can't see regularly being from the states. If I'm to believe the internet, Don Broco is the second coming of the Beatles, so definitely want to see what they're all about! I know it's Summerlin's last show, would like to see that. Have to see some of the acts on the acoustic stage. Vinnie, Jonah and Walter are all legends. Always thought Sonic Boom Six should be a lot bigger. I like wandering at festivals and finding a band I've never heard of that I like. That's what Fests are about. I think people who plant themselves at the front of the main stage for 8 hours are missing the point.
5. What plans do you have for the summer?
Going to shoot our next video then lots of outdoors events and fests in the States and then back to the UK in the fall.
6. What was the first festival you attended?
Check this out! I was at the single biggest date of Lollapalooza EVER! Happened in Philadelphia. Felt like Woodstock. The first act was Buddhist Monks who the Beastie Boys brought out. The sky was turning gray. Shoes were flying in the air. Seemed to my 14 self it was the end of the world. Later that day I almost was crushed to death in theis sea of people during the Breeders set. It was also one of the first times Courtney Love appeared after Kurt died. She was hammered. Thanks for asking because that was a flashback!
7. If you could program a main stage (7 bands) past or present, who would you pick?
Just personal but I would mix it up with my all time favorites. They Might Be Giants, Tom Waits, The Beatles, Randy Newman, Phil Cody, Arlo Guthrie and of course Army of Freshmen- I'd be an idiot not get on a sweet festival that I ran and hang with my musical heroes!
8. What's the funniest thing you've seen at a festival?
Marilyn Manson making an entire backstage stand behind ropes so he could walk uninterrupted to the stage. Keep in mind this was at Download and the backstage was full of actual rock stars as big as him that had to wait so he could walk by. So there his is parting the sea, only to go sit in a golf cart that wouldn't start. Instant justice for douche bag behavior… The Anti Christ superstar in a dead golf cart.
Hit The Deck takes places in Bristol on April 20th and Nottingham on April 21st.

For many residents of the Gulf Coast stretching between the Florida Panhandle and Galveston, Texas, the sound of helicopter rotors overhead serve as a frequent reminder of the importance of oil exploration to the region's ecomony.
Atlantic Ocean
Traffic is picking up and hangar space is returning to New Orleans Lakefront Airport, more than six months after Hurricane Katrina caused millions of dollars' worth of damage. Refurbishment of Million Air's 1930s-era art deco Moffett hangar should conclude by the middle of this month. Million Air will also offer space in the 22,000-sq-ft former Atlantic Aviation hangar, due to open next week.
In the days following Hurricane Katrina, I watched the news and felt helpless. There were so many people in need and no "quick" way to respond. After seeing a segment about babies being airlifted out of hospitals and being separated from their parents, I jumped into action. I was certain that Jet Quest, the company I work for, could find these parents and get them to their children by flying them in our airplane.
Words and pictures cannot fully convey what has happened to the city of New Orleans. Several miles away at 5,500 feet, the air in the cabin of the Cessna 172 told us we were approaching the city before the haze let up enough for us to see it. Matt Thompson, a contract King Air 350 corporate pilot based in Baton Rouge, was flying the aircraft.
As Hurricane Katrina blew into world headlines for the human misery it caused on the U.S. Gulf Coast, NBAA faced a monumental decision all its own: where to hold its annual convention, which was scheduled to take place in the ravaged city a little over two months after the storm rolled through.
Sensitive to a perception that it was slow to take a leadership role in business aviation's Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, NBAA outlined for AIN its actions in the aftermath of the storm:
When Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast, the business aviation community swung into action to help those affected by the natural disaster. Not long after the hurricane made landfall on the morning of August 29, many aircraft operators called the Red Cross and offered to airlift in supplies or do humanitarian transports. Their offers were rebuffed; instead, the relief agency simply asked for donations.
In an unusual tribute for an unprecedented rescue mission, HAI has chosen to bestow the 2005 Igor I. Sikorsky Award for Humanitarian Service to all the companies, organizations and individuals who took part in the monumental rescue and relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

With the common theme in today's security management conversations being "your security will fail" and "expect to be breached," there's no question that there has been increased interest in the area of incident response. The industry is realizing that the addition of regulations, people, or even product features, is not going to cut it - a next generation incident response offering is needed.
To get a view of what the next-generation incident response solution might look like, Web Security Journal sat down with entrepreneur and life-long incident response veteran, Joseph Loomis, a cooperative member with the FBI and DEA's divisions on Cybercrime and founder and CEO of Phoenix-based CyberSponse.
WSJ: Tell us a little bit about yourself - why does incident response interest you enough to start a company that appears to be all IR all the time?
Joseph Loomis: The desire to help people and businesses in need is in my bones. In fact, my experience with incident response goes all the way back to my childhood days when my father and his friends saw a gap in community protection and emergency "incident" response, and in turn created an entirely new fire department for our town. What I saw was that most people aren't aware that nearly every medical emergency - even if not fire related - is responded to by the fire department. My father and his friends came up with their own incident response program - they saw the need and made it a reality. They took the bull by the horns, figured it out, and worked on it until they got it right. Watching them, I repeatedly got to see how people responded during traumatic/chaotic events.
Like my father, I too served six years in the military, an experience that allowed me to help individuals, organizations, and countries alike. Shortly after completing my service with the armed forces and attending the University of Florida for Electrical Engineering, I was working for an electronics manufacturer in California. While working as the director of engineering, I saw the need for businesses to protect their assets in the online world. In response to this need, I founded NetEnforcers, a company chartered with protecting online brands and intellectual property. After successfully growing the company and securing customers like Apple, Microsoft, Cisco, Samsung, LG and Pfizer, I sold NetEnforcers, both debt-free and very profitable. Soon after, I began to look for the next area where I could help the world become a better place.
As a formally licensed Private Investigator and a cooperative member with the FBI & DEA's divisions on Cybercrime, I have been fortunate to connect with other entrepreneurs and security industry experts that share the same goals as I do. In 2011, I looked to Spyro Malaspinas, a proven, trusted, and innovative information security leader and a long time friend, to partner with me as a co-founder for CyberSponse - a Phoenix-based company chartered with helping organizations successfully respond to the inevitable security breach. Together Spyro and I developed the business case that would make CyberSponse a reality.
WSJ: What do you see as the biggest challenge faced by organizations with respect to security incident response?
Loomis: As you can imagine, my exposure to fire response, medical response, and military response presented me with far worse situations than a firewall breach. It's safe to say that these experiences taught me how to remain calm under pressure, to recognize how important planning is, and to appreciate how critical communication is during a crisis. Relating this back to cybersecurity, I find the biggest challenge in IR is having the right information available to the right people on the IR team at the right time, and being able to communicate and collaborate throughout the entire response process.
For example, most IR programs involve the use of panicky conference calls and drawn-out email communications, both of which seem to get in the way when something really serious is happening. If you haven't been through it, it may be hard for you to understand. But think about it for a minute - speed of communication is critical during an incident. Even if the right people are included in an email thread, if the critical person is not looking at their email program when it really matters, something can get missed. Similarly, oftentimes the IR leads don't have a clear view of who's doing what and when, regardless of the communication methods used.
WSJ: If you were to pick one big thing that has to change for IR, what would that be?
Loomis: Collaborative communication. The problem is that most IR personnel only know the email/conference call method to incident response. The improvement of standard IR methods needs to be the focus of organizations. In my mind, this is exactly where IR necessitates transformation. New methods of communication need to be leveraged; we need to move things from an ad-hoc model where organizations are forced to jump the tracks, to a cohesive experience that enables teams to communicate and collaborate. We could look to "The Computer Incident Response Planning Handbook" by Neal K McCarthy as a starting point for how to begin this transformation as it is a great source for what works during IR..
WSJ: What prompted you to tackle these challenges with your founding of CyberSponse?
Loomis: I know from first-hand experience that leadership, coordination, communication, planning, and collaboration are key elements to controlling a chaotic situation. Reaching out to old friends that were familiar with security, Spyro included, we decided to form CyberSponse. After digesting the business model and vetting it and the technology plans with some great contacts in the security world, I elected to personally invest over what will be 2M when we hit the market. Our founding management team has been developed through a close network of experienced and trusted friends and partners. And, rather than building an engineering team from the ground up, we looked to a development genius who already had an experienced and functional team, Paul Janisko. He quickly joined the march, and right from the start, we found ourselves with a solid plan, a solid team, and a solid solution to a problem that is not going away.
We are well positioned to succeed and intend to make CyberSponse a reality very soon, a reality that will change the face of IR forever, a reality that will seen by the world at the upcoming launch at RSA 2013 in San Francisco.
WSJ: How will CyberSponse shape the future of incident response?
Loomis: While our solution is far from simple to develop, simply put, CyberSponse is going to bring the efficiency, economics, transparency, and analytics that IR has needed for a long time. No more relying solely on ticketing systems, no more conference calls lasting 6 hours, no more meetings to have meetings. The CyberSponse solution has been tailored to handle the future of IR, designed specifically to streamline the use of a variety of technologies such as SMS, instant messaging, secure document collaboration, and mobile (to name a few). One example I can share pre-launch is that the CyberSponse system will offer built-in tools and training which will help teams become more prepared for a breach when it occurs. Also, by partnering with cutting edge providers like FireHost, Carbon Black, and Blackhills InfoSec, CyberSponse is going to put the power of IR back in the hands of the IR team in a way they've never experienced before, giving them the ability to respond with confidence from wherever they are.
WSJ: What does the future hold for CyberSponse?
Loomis: Legacy technologies like email and ticketing systems are holding the IR teams back, forcing them to operate outside even the best laid out IR plans. In fact, best practices such as NIST SP800-61 and ISO-27035 call for organizations to stay out of email when an incident occurs - not use it as the main tool for communication. With several patents pending, this is the future for CyberSponse - we will bring the IR teams up to date with a next generation IR solution so they can actually follow industry standards, guidelines, regulations, and more - while becoming more effective and efficient in their IR programs while doing so. CyberSponse will provide the perfect solution for companies small and large, leveraging a cyber-response community we help build where companies help each other fight cyber-crime and respond to cyber-attacks.
One final thought that I would add with respect to standards and regulations is the IR audit trail. CyberSponse, effectively operating as a secure bunker for all IR activities, will keep track of everything IR related and keep it secure within the bunker. Organizations will be able to see and report on what Resource A did and what Resource B forgot to do - even if one of those resources is an external service provider bound to an IR SLA. This will be an auditors dream - and will help the organization improve upon future IR activities.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

'Times'splaining Pizza
As one ages, one gives up a few of the youthful struggles against the generations that came before, and one tends to finally accept more of the common precepts of society. For instance, I now own a pizza peel. For many years I burned my fingers and clumsily threw pizzas from the oven onto the counter. Those days are behind me now. It's okay.
With that one exception, however, I stand by our exceptional pizza recipe. Sure, you can have the Times Timessplain the making of pizza to you, if you wish! If that makes you feel fancy and validated, so be it. But we know the truth, which is that you can make a pizza out of anything, just as long as your oven is exceedingly hot.

Praise for this book:
Innovative...the descriptions are accurate and concise - exactly what the examiner wants to hear...it would be difficult to find a better high-yield, high-quality textbook covering every subsection of the radiology oral board examination.--JAMAy
Extremely useful...This review book is not only rewarding but also a resource radiologists can continue to refer to throughout their careers.--Academic Radiology
Provides an excellent selection of cases for sharpening diagnostic radiology considerations...useful for board preparation and review.--Doody's Review
Top 3 Differentials in Radiology: A Case Review is a practical case-based reference that will enable radiologists and radiology residents to hone their skills in developing differential diagnoses for common imaging findings. Presented as unknowns, the cases are arranged into twelve main sections based on radiology subspecialties. The book presents each case as a two-page unit. The left page features clinical images and a brief description of the clinical presentation. The right page provides the key imaging finding, Top 3 differential diagnoses, additional differential diagnoses, the final diagnosis, and imaging pearls. The final section of the book contains selected cases from all radiology subspecialties with distinctive imaging findings that should lead definitively to a single diagnosis.
With its emphasis on gaining a solid foundation in differential diagnoses for the full range of key imaging f...
Outstanding book for radiology residents preparing for the oral boards. I am sure it is also good for other candidates in different fields of radiology, but this is the only context in which I have gotten to use it and I swear by it. All my co-residents use it and equally praise the book.

Day 12 of Wildmind's 100 Day Meditation Challenge
Almost everyone is going around making judgments all the time, about others — and about themselves. It's hard to remember to be compassionate, or to actually be compassionate if we remember. Here's one perspective that helps me.
Behind every negative emotion, there's a positive intent or valid need. So when we're grumpy and unpleasant to people, for example, there's a need and an intent to defend ourselves (our feelings being fragile and easily provoked at that time). When we crave something it's because we're short on happiness, and see the object of our craving as a source of the happiness we need. When we're worrying about something we're looking …

Connecting with Our 'Soul Sadness'
Marge, a woman in our meditation community, was in a painful standoff with her teenage son. At fifteen, Micky was in a downward spiral of skipping classes and using drugs, and had just been suspended for smoking marijuana on school grounds. While Marge blamed herself — she was the parent, after all — she was also furious at him.
The piercings she hadn't approved, the lies, stale smell of cigarettes, and earphones that kept him in his own removed world — every interaction with Micky left her feeling powerless, angry, and afraid. The more she tried to take control with her criticism, with "groundings" and other ways of setting limits, …

Beyond the "defended self"
During the years right after college, I was the director of a yoga studio at the ashram where I was living near Boston. One day, at a time when we were behind in promoting our major event of the year, which featured a number of well-known teachers, the head of our local community arrived late to our weekly staff meeting, visibly upset. I asked him what was wrong.
In a barely controlled voice, he thrust in front of me a flyer I'd created for the event. "Just take a look at this." Immediately, I saw the typo in bold print—it was the wrong date. My heart sank: …

The goodness at the heart of us all
At a discussion group last night, we talked a little about the deep yearning for happiness that we all have. The discussion was sparked off by this statement:
Most – perhaps all – of what we human beings do, say and think is associated with our attempt to escape from dissatisfaction or suffering, or, to put it the other way around, to find satisfaction and happiness.
I can actually remember when and where I had this insight myself. It was a real eye-opener for me to realize that everyone just wants to be happy, and that everything they do is an attempt to find happiness. Even the cruel and …

Give yourself the gift of kindness
Can you remember a time when you offered a gift to someone? Perhaps a holiday present, or a treat to a child, or taking time for a friend – or anything at all. How did this feel? Researchers have found that giving stimulates the same neural networks that light up when we feel physical pleasure, such eating a cookie or running warm water over cold hands. Long ago, the Buddha said that generosity makes one happy before, during, and after the giving.
Then there is receiving. Can you remember a different time, when someone was giving toward you? Maybe it was a tangible, something you could hold in …

Feeding the wolf of love
I once heard a Native American teaching story in which an elder, a grandmother, was asked what she had done to become so happy, so wise, so loved and respected. She replied: "It's because I know that there are two wolves in my heart, a wolf of love and a wolf of hate. And I know that everything depends on which one I feed each day."

How to have compassion
Compassion is essentially the wish that beings not suffer – from subtle physical and emotional discomfort to agony and anguish – combined with feelings of sympathetic concern.
You could have compassion for an individual (a friend in the hospital, a co-worker passed over for a promotion), groups of people (victims of crime, those displaced by a hurricane, refugee children), animals (your pet, livestock heading for the slaughterhouse), and yourself.
Compassion is not pity, agreement, or a waiving of your rights. You can have compassion for people who've wronged you while also insisting that they treat you better.
Compassion by itself opens your heart and …

'Self-compassion' can help divorced people heal
Robert Preidt: Self-compassion can help the newly divorced get through one of the most difficult periods of their lives, researchers suggest.
They explained that self-compassion — a combination of kindness toward oneself, recognition of common humanity, and the ability to let painful emotions pass — "can promote resilience and positive outcomes in the face of divorce."
University of Arizona researchers studied 38 men and 67 women with an average age of 40 who had been married for more than 13 years and were divorced an average of three to four months. Those who had higher levels of kindness to themselves were able to recover faster from the emotional effects…

On top of these external pressures, we deal with internal ones as well. These include all the inner "shoulds," "musts," and "have-tos," like: "I gotta get this done today or my boss'll get mad." Or: "I must not look bad." Or: "I can't leave the house with dishes in …

20 Questions with Mike ShineJuxtapoz // Thursday, 09 Apr 2009
Mike Shine makes some of the most appealingly creepy driftwood paintings we ever did see. Combining elements from classic surf and skate culture, along with the low-fi era of the 60s and a fascination with philosophy, mythology, and even his wife, Mike has managed to consistently produce truly unique artwork.
With a massive installation of his infamous Art Shack currently on view at San Francisco's The Museum of Craft and Folk Art and a two-man exhibit with Caleb Neelon opening tomorrow, April 11th at White Walls Gallery, it's safe to say this man has been busy. That's why we tangled up his schedule a bit more and asked him to answer our 20 Questions. Like the great guy he is, Mike obliged. So get to reading 20 Questions with Mike Shine now:
What's the first thing you did when you woke up this morning?
Probably no one wants to read about that. But the second thing I did was brush my teeth.
Something about yourself the average person wouldn't guess?
I can make fire without matches.
If you had one day left on Earth, what's left to be discovered?
If it's a school day, and my kids can't take off, I'd probably go on a pub-crawl.
What is your first art-making memory as a kid?
I smeared my diaper contents all over the front of my dresser. Unfortunately my parents didn't take any photos.
Do you need long periods of time alone, or are you energized by interaction?
Both. I like to be alone, and I like parties. But usually I'm alone at parties, so maybe that's not totally accurate.
Is being in the dark with the lights out frightening or comforting?
Depends if my gun is loaded or not.
What's the most non-art involved activity you continually find yourself enjoying?
Surfing, and macramé.
Have you been to jail? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes. "Swimming where prohibited." Arrested by a 330-pound sheriff. I was too cocky to run. I've learned to run since then.
What kind of car do you drive?
1978 Landcruiser, and a MINI Cooper.
What's your biggest non-green inspired indulgence?
The 1978 Landcruiser, I carbon offset about 6 Priuses.
What is the single most important thing you did to breakthrough as a career artist?
Tap into my personal flaws. It's a pretty deep vein.
Best hustle you ever pulled?
Taking compromising photos of Andres and Justin at White Walls to use as extortion.
Are you ever bored?
What excites you?
Hanging out with people way smarter than me.
2023 will look like . . . ?
I'm optimistic. It'll be great. I hope I'm alive to see it.
If you could have a drink with one artist, living or dead, who would it be?
Jim Morrison.
Last passport stamp:
Can't stand:
The entitled.
Can't live without:
My family. Sometimes I'm away from them for a while, and I get weird.
Words to live by:
Live a good clean life, five days a week.

Oh, what an unmitigated disaster for the economy! Has anyone thought thru the impact this will have on the cosmetic industry, the reconstructive surgery profession, the fashion industry to say nothing of those lattes, expensive eateries, limousine services and personal trainers? Why, we could collapse and revert to the dark ages of say 1950.
I can't beilieve they are taking All My Children off the air. I have watched it since the beginning…I love all the character & the story lines. This will be so missed. Good luck to all the cast members…
I got hooked on AMC and OLTL when I would watch them with my wife before going to work on second shift. I thought it was my little secret until I discovered that other guys watched them too. Of course the wives were into the story but us guy wanted to be into the hot babes.LOL
I started watching All My Children, One Life to Live, and General Hospital in the late 70′s, Doctor's advice, to do something for myself for relaxation. Now I am 69 years old and SOAPS are pretty much the only television I watch. If I miss an episode in the afternoon, I catch it on SOAPNET. They are my relaxation, take me out of the stresses of life and NOW what will I do to relax!!! So Sad that Reality (?) shows go on and on and have so little connection to the real world. My friends and I may have to hold a WAKE after the Funeral.
Just sick. Lost my Mom. Little to look forward to. These TV Channels hooking people into shows, then cancelling them faster than the people can find them on the schedule, because schedules keep turning around. People do watch these shows. Yes we are forced to work, but we tape these shows and we watch them. The Nielsen ratings I keep hearing about, are they really in any TVss. Don't think so. Why do we keep looking to entertain the Young. They are never home, they watch trash all day and do we really need one more talk show to tell us we are fat and unhealthy and need cosmetic surgery on a daily basis, or do we need another show to tell us to eat so we can then watch the show that just told us we are too fat. Why is reality needed. I am so glad my Mom who just died and has watched these shows since inception, did not see this day. ABC. Forget it… I am done.
Soap opreas are alive and thriving on spanish language channels especially Univision. One reason for their wide appeal is that they do have reasonable lengths ending after about three to six months. They have tie-ins to other entertainment (shows music etc).
At some time or another I watched the to be remaining soaps and found them to be lacking. They could never hold my attention as OLTL and AMC has. If I should not be able to view in the afternoon, I would watch on Soapnet (when available) or online. If pressed for time, I, at least read the recaps.
Really the shows serve a purpose for the public. Many would be less aware of societal problems and the severity if it were not for those two soaps. ABC should reconsider. Now, if they're too stubborn (probably are since they reflect no originality for replacements), another network should step in and pick them up.
Now, I'm just like the next American in having to tighten my belt so if the shows do continue elsewhere I hope they are on a basic tier cable network.
I watched General Hospital for over a decade, loving their unique blend of romance and danger and mob. A few years ago they lost me. All the great stories I'd been following — Jason Morgan taking over the mob from Sonny Corinthos and moving toward a war with Anthony Zacchara while hiding the fact that he had a secret son with Elizabeth Webber to keep both baby and lover safe — trailed off and ended without any resolution. The characters got super inconsistent, stories made no sense and stopped actually going anywhere. The whole show seemed to spin in place, deciding nothing, picking no path, and after a year of that, I was done. I changed the channel one of the other 600 out there and didn't look back. Now I hear the show killed off Jake (the baby mentioned above), fired (only to rehire) the actress playing Elizabeth after a huge fan outcry, and the show is still putzing around. Is it any wonder viewers are frustrated and tuning out?
I have been
watching AMC for at least 38 years and always took the time out of my day if I could to just relax and let myself zone in on the usually predictable but fun show. I found it to be an excellent stress reliever. I will really miss not having my afternoon fix for that hour. I never worried if I missed a show or several cause you could always figure it out and catch up with the storyline.It even made us more aware of some real hard life topics.. What else will let us do that?
How are repeats an "aberration" with soaps when I just caught up on a whole week's worth of "repeats" on SoapNet? Of course, Disney is also trashing SoapNet as well by replacing it with "Disney Junior" next year.
This says nothing about why they're good for you…
the purpose of soap operas is to legitimize our own perversions. If I look at my sister-in-law and all I see is a broad I'd like to bend over the couch and drill like an oil well, I'm considered crude. But if some doofus on the local soap can bang away at his sister-in-law or stepdaughter or can 69 his wife's divorce lawyer, then it's ok for everyone else.
A lot of their demographic from when these shows were popular, are dying. And honestly, who is 18 and watching these shows.
I also squander that these are like romance novels. You mention, rich, straight and white…who else but wealthy, straight, white women watch this? The show is adequately representing a fictional society that these women want to live in.
"Until we no longer care what will happen next, there will be soap opera." WRONG. You don't get it. It doesn't matter what viewers want. Disney/ABC has basically said they don't give a damn about what viewers want. Viewers have to settle for whatever Disney/ABC chooses to produce, and they choose reality programming, because even if there are fewer viewers, their revenue will increase.
"What's happening with soaps is important for television in general, as all television production is challenged by the transition from broadcast to digital media." WRONG. This has nothing to do with transitioning to digital–that already happened some time ago.
"Why "All My Children" and "One Life to Live"? No great reason. They're at the bottom of the ratings race." WRONG. Do you even know how to check facts? OLTL is the only soap in the last year to gain viewers and is third in the ratings:
You article is an embarrassment to sociologists and academics.
The link I meant to give to the ratings is wrong. It should be

Numbers are based on Live+Same Day ratings (Compared to Last Week/Compared to Last Year)

i read this article because you called it why soaps are good for you. unless i missed something there was no mention of why soaps are good for you. typical!.
Hi Bonnie — I did not create the title of the article, WSJ did. I agree that there is a mismatch.
Hi David — thanks for website links with ratings. I was looking at different week(s) which did report OLTL and AMC in bottom half. I'm happy to chat with you re: your other comments if you'd like to contact me directly. LH
I have loved AMC since the first day. I met several of the stars at Disney World. Michael Knight caught up to me at the Grand Floridian and thanked me for being there. I thanked him for being! He was so nice as all of them are. I met Vincent at the Livingston Mall in NJ. He was shopping but took the time to talk to a few fans. I am so happy the internet is picking up this series. It's only been gone a few days and I miss it. I WILL NOT watch the chew or anything else that ABC puts in it's place!
