Carlsen seems extremely mature about his chess, despite a small recent slump (perfectly natural!). Really, the fact that he got to 2800 so quick says absolutely everything, and I don't think his maturity of handling a match would be any problem, whatsoever! You can't get to 2800 without incredible maturity, that is if you're 19 (or is it 20?); prodigies can often make it to grandmaster level, but to go beyond to any where near a world champion requires insane dedication for anyone. It is impossible to be a 2800 just by riding on your talent. Yes he hasn't played in matches, but I don't think that he's in any way "not ready" for match play. I'm sure he would be happy with preparing all kinds of stuff, it's just what 2800s like to do. The only problem in my eyes that comes with his youth is simply his lack of experience, but as you're still just playing chess, I don't think that is such a huge disadvantage.
I think it's something he will have to adjust to, sure, but he should be able to do so well enough, and for the most part his chess can do the talking.
I thought Carlsen played well at Nanjing which is matchplay ?
Nanjing was a round-robin tournament.
lol you actually follow the tournaments.
Why is it funny that I follow the tournaments?

Carlsen may be boxed in. He refuses to play until the rules change...and some of the top players do not support him. If enough top GMs favour the "match play" then according to FIDE, they will be forced to keep it after the current cycle. Thus, Carlsen will either have to "change his mind" ( and look like an idiot )...or remain on the fringe...
...either way this turns out...the kid really knows how to draw a crowd.
I'm not sure if you actually read the letter, no where in it is Carlsen mentioning the things you speak of. Refuses to play in a match? He didn't say, he only said he would leave the 2008-2012 cycle.
I beg to defer.
He has indicated to FIDE that he will not participate in the upcoming Candidates Matches which will lead up to the WCC. He has thus refused to play. He goes on to explain that the reason why he has decided not to participate, is because the current format offers the current champion an unfair advantage. Clearly, if the current format remains unchanged, then his reasons for not playing remains. He then proposes an alternative format which he thinks to be more acceptable. And, his last statement clearly says "My current plan is to continue to participate in well-organised top-level tournaments and try to maintain the no.1 spot..."
Clearly, you have a different opinion of what he said. Please share.
Carlsen will NEVER be World Champion and he knows it, thus the charade.
Will there be candidates matches to determine a challenger or a candidates tournament ?
Matches, but only four games each at classic times, then tiebreakers. They are too short to be truly representative (many players are slow starters, and would be doomed), but at least it is a head-to-head match series again. (The Final might be six games, FIDE changes the rules so often it is hard to keep up).
The problem is sponsorship. It's hard enough to get the sponsors for the WC Match; no one seems anxious to back the play-ins. In the '60s and '70s, the matches were longer, and held in separate locations. Now they can only manage it as a single site.
How many peoples play in the matches ?
I think we need to clarify "match" - I am not too familiar with the qualifying process for the WCC, but when we talk about "match" we mean a series of games between two players, right?
Yes, the word has two chess meanings, in this context a head-to-head encounter between individuals is meant.
I think reading comprehension might be the problem here.
I won't take part in this WC cycle.
I will instead focus on keeping my Nr1 spot in the ratings.
Neither of the above quotes mean he refuses to take part in any WC cycle until his suggestions and preferences are the law.
Yeah, what's funny about following the tournaments ? I follow the tournaments too, OK ?
It is implied that he does not like the rule, and therefore chooses not to play...of course he can choose to play in the next cycle...nothing is preventing him from doing so. But clearly, if the rules are unchanged in the next cycle, then he will look like an idiot if he rejoins the Candidates...and nothing has changed in his favour.
In the interview he says:
Does this mean that you will not participate in a World Championship in the future?
In the interview he says:
Does this mean that you will not participate in a World Championship in the future?
No, no, absolutely not. I hope that there will be changes in the future. It is clear that I will be back in it then. The decision now applies only to the current world championship cycle.
It does sound like he is linking his future participation to the occurence of "changes", although being vague as to how much changes could persuade him to participate.
If they can finish one cycle without actually changing the rules along the way, that's already a great change.
Apparently, ECU President Silvio Danailov, also a member of the FIDE presidential board and best known as Topalovs evil manager, has prepared a solution that will make everyone happy, to be proposed at the next presidential board.
"Of course, there are always possibilities to find a solution. The WCC cycle needs Carlsen and vice versa, this is clear to everybody. Right now I am preparing a proposal to the next FIDE Presidential Board, which in my opinion is the perfect solution to the problem. So, I am very hopeful that Magnus will play finally and everybody will be happy."
Magnus is coming across a bit like a spoiled brat imo. FIDE wouldnt make concessions to Fischer even after he became world champion, why should they to someone who isnt and hasnt even played a match for it yet ?
I doubt anything of the sort will happen. Agreed though, if it does, at this point it would be nothing but an embarrassment.
They didn't make concessions to Fischer, just not all of them.
You are coming of as pretty simple so far in this thread Reb, maybe you need to idolize less and think more.

Joining the spooky race on the small screen will be Sony Entertainment Television's Anaamika.Yup, the show is all set to go on air tonight at 8 pm. It revolves around the story of Jeet (Mudit Nayyar) and Rano (Annie Gill) who are childhood friends. After days filled with sweet nothings, they finally are all set to get married. But the happily-ever-after doesn't come easily to this blissfully-in-love couple thanks to the charming witch aka chudail called Anaamika (Simran Kaur).
If our feathered friends are to be believed, the wicked one loses her heart to Jeet. And so she tries to knock his fianc Rano off, sometimes by setting a bouquet on fire and at other times by peeping out from the mirror. Anaamika keeps her one eye covered with long tresses, maybe in an attempt to look mysterious and witch-like. Alas, till now all we've felt is the need to present the chudail with a hair-band.
But we'll watch this new, hopefully spooky show to find out if the witch here is actually scary or not. Till then, you tell us readers: Can Anaamika frighten the hell out of us

How do I make functional wing struts
I'd like to put functional struts on a plane I'm putting together, but have never done a set. I've used them, but never built them. Someone guide me through the procedure, including attachment points? I surely would appreciate the help.
Size of model? That makes a HUGE difference. Also the struts should always anchor on the main spar. If you want to use "V" struts or dual struts then the wing should have two spars so the spars and struts work together. And that's the point. The spar and struts on the real things along with the cabin structure form a locked triangle. So it all has to work together.
The good news is that if you're using load bearing struts you can greatly simplify the wing joint at the cabin or center cabane section. The struts take all the bending load so all you need is a locating joint.
Note that you want carry through compression struts in the top of the cabin or cabane section. The spars cause the wings to push inward strongly. You exchange bending loads for inward compressive loads.
Similarly on the lower side of the cabin (I've been assuming all through this that it's a high wing cabin model) the struts will be trying to pull the lower area apart with a lot of tension. So there should be a strong'ish cross member. And all joints to brackets or plates in this cross member, strut ends and wing attachment should be pinned through and not rely just on glue. The shallow angle of the struts means that the wing load is multiplied by a factor of the strut angle. So there's a bigger tensile stress on the joints, lower cross member and the strut itself.

I follow you Bruce. The plane is about a 6' high wing design, I like the idea of the dual or "v" strut as it should reduce the twist on the wing panels. The wing is a very old one that was delivered to me cut in half. I am repairing the spars, following far 4314 best i can. I am extending the ws during this procedure by adding in a center section that encloses the top of the cabin. In essense, then, I have 2 joints that are new. Likewise, I do the same to the rear spar, te and le. This wing was built very light as they did back then, no stress webbing, and that's the basic reason for the struts.
I have full width light ply that has been added to the bottom of the fuse, and can do the same along the top, though I considered using 4 bolts to hold the center section in place and allow the center section to pick up the compression, as the wing is being put together as a one piece.
Where I go to next is looking for a good way to join the 2 strut sections together at the apex of the "v", how to reinforce that joint, and what folks do for easy, but reliable, attachment points. What is a good strut material? I see aluminum and hardwood airfoil shapes, but could form my own I suppose.
Music (piano) wire is good for functional struts - allows you to join easily at the 'V' and to solder attachment fittings. If you don't like the 'bare wire' look, dress them up with balsa or hardwood fairings.
I used K & S aluminum airfoil tubing. I inserted a V shaped piece of plastic into the joining end, pinned and epoxied. The strut is attached to the fuse with a screw and a T-nut in the cabin floor.
Ah, the broken wing...... So you don't trust the repair? Or you have concern over the wood itself? In either case struts becomes a viable option.
Since this will be a one piece wing you really only need helper struts. Although if the wing has front and back spars then "V" struts becomes a natural option.
Just about anything can be used for the actual material. Myself I'd likely go with spruce or pine that I cut a groove into to allow for running 1/16 wire down the grooves which would be filled in with epoxy. The wire would have formed eyes on each end and run screws into screw blocks glued to the spars at the right locations.
Do NOT drill directly into the spars. You'll just make weak points. Instead glue plywood screw blocks to the side of the spars. And make them long enough that you have a good load bearing glue joint. The blocks should cover one whole rib bay and be tapered on the ends to either side of the screw holes.
At the fuselage I'd likely fit a plywood screw plate across the bottom so it takes the tension in the plywood. This plate could be either internal or external depending on the model and how much work you want to do. The ends of the struts would extend onto the bottom of the fuselage so that the screws used to secure them go into the plywood at least 3/16 back from the edge so they won't try to rip out. Also by making the end eyes wrap underneath instead of onto the side the loads on the screw is in shear instead of in tension.
If using music wire it will be enough of an eye to make the wire bend into a tight C shape on the end. If using wire like 1/16 welding rod I'd suggest you form the wire so it comes back on itself and then bind and solder over about 1/4 inch to ensure the eye doesn't open up.
The V struts will strongly lock in any washout angle of the wing panel once secured. So it's worth leaving the drilling and securing of the rear strut to last. And if that rear eye is made SLIGHTLY larger than needed it opens up the option of using small cresent shaped shims to alter the rigging angle to push the rear of the wing up or pull it down. Once set the shims can be epoxied or soldered in place. Just shim it so they can't move.
There are certainly other methods. But this is one which I like and which I would personally use if I were faced with this same problem.
I know that some folks have used things like metal quick links for struts. But I just don't trust them for a load bearing job like this. Mind you that was back before the metal quick links with 4-40 thread ends and 1/16 wire pins. If you use the jumbo hardware option then I'd guess that they could take the loads for a model of this size quite well. Of course then you need to use attachment plates on the outside that are screwed into the same sort of screw plate that is glued to the sides of the spars internally.

Bruce..... I think the repair will be fine. Wing is straight and flat, even! No, I'm going to be asking more from this wing than the designer had in mind. Old plane, no ailerons. Ultra low weight wood, no stress webbing. I added in 7 1/2" of center section. I will be adding in aileron, flap and le slats to put together a high lift STOL. The fuse is an Eagle 2 (Goldberg) that I broadened and canted the rear fuse section up for a larger rotation angle, still on trike (yuck) gear. Interestingly enough, after adding in the center section to the wing, the span came out to be 63"! The original span to the Eagle. No, total fluke. Appears that the AUW will be somewhere between 4 1/2 to 5 #. Will run with electric. I fella from Texas sent me a cast off fiberglas cowl which I cut up and converted to an opposed cylinder style like a Super Cub or similar would have.
Thanks for the strut guidance. Once I put in the 8 new ribs, center section and le sheeting, I'll mount the wing and start on these struts.
If the original builder ever caught wind of what happened to this wonderfully built wing he'd freak, I'm sure.

Well, Bruce, not sure about a build thread. Honestly, hadn't thought about it, not sure where it would go, even. I don't have pics from previous work, though I'm not that far along, I did do a lot of juggling to get to this point. You think a "kit bash" would be worthwhile?
Yes, a bash is always worthwhile.
For your size a plane just about anything will work for wing struts. The main load willbe in tension so your main focus is on how you make the joints at the ends of the struts.
If you want them adjustable then use threaded rods and clevises at the wing end. At the fuse end join the wires (solder) and bend a 90 deg to stick into a hole in the fuse. Like above, I'd use a 1/8 ply cross piece in the fuse and attach to that. If you want the wing removable, then don't glue the wire into the fuse. Use a saddle clamp to hold it in place (or something similar). If you want them faired then either slip over some streamlined Al tubing (my favorite) or build up with balsa.
For non adjustable then I'd just use the streamlined tubing with ends epoxied in place. I use Robart hinge points for this kind of thing and JB Weld. I also cross pin the hinges in the tubing. I have seen JB Weld 'let go' of Al tubing after many heat and cold cycles. I used thins method on several planes, both lighter and heavier than yours.
FYI, you can make the Robart hinge points removable as well. Drill out the hinge pin and replace with a #2 screw.
You can also use electrical 'eye' connections at the wire ends. Rough up the ends of the wire well. Assemble on the plane with the correct dihedral and washout. Crimp the ends in place. Then solder them. If you use larger dia wire you can also add cross pins for added security.
There are many variations on strut mounts. Just choose one that suits you.

Charlie, thanks for the tips. I'm saving off these pieces of wisdom so I can refer back without having to do a search.
Yikes, another positive for a build? This is just a cobble, not a scale anything, more of a "coulda-been-scale, but...". That's not to say it doesn't have its challenges.
Charlie, Week or so ago I ran a query about finishing suggestions. I believe you contributed to that thread. This is the plane that started the discussion.

IF it's a cobble together model?
Then simple Carbonne rods will do very well, as Ca sticks really well to the material.
As noted above it's the anchoring and the attendant structure that the struts attach to /distribute the loads that matters.
Struts .. typically in tension .. have an easy life, most anything that will resist your test pulling on the ends will do.
Thanks, and do post it. We all like to see a model 'hacked'.

Next summer, America's favourite game will take to the hallowed ground of Croke Park, the beating heart of Ireland's traditional sports…
It's is a stadium that has built memories, hosted Olympic ceremonies, and has been a vital part of Dublin's history.
But in August 2014, there'll be a very different type of supporter travelling to Croke Park, home of the GAA (Gaelic Athletics Association) when US college teams the University of Central Florida and Penn State arrive to do battle in the Croke Park Classic.
This isn't the first time US football teams have brought their game to Ireland – 2013 saw Notre Dame and the Navy thrill a sold-out Aviva Stadium.
And Ireland has been developing strong links with American Football since that first NCAA-sanctioned American college footballe game outside of Europe: the Emerald Isle Classic in 1988.
Still, it's been almost 20 years since Croke Park hosted a game of American Football, and this icon of Irish sporting life is more than ready for the challenge.
The newly renovated stadium (it has a 82,300, making it the third biggest stadium in the EU) may offer a few new creature comforts but that electric match-day atmosphere that Croke Park is famous for is just the same; this is still a place where dreams come true.
Football and hurling matches organised by the GAA have been held in Croke Park since 1884, and these games are deeply rooted in communities all over the country.
Players, managers and trainers volunteer their free time to prepare for their county's campaign to win the illustrious All-Ireland final.
On a Sunday in September, months of blood, sweat and tears (literally), for both teams and supporters, come to a head as one county triumphs in an All-Ireland final and gets to raise the coveted Sam Maguire Cup (football) or the Liam McCarthy Cup (hurling).
Go to a match in Croke Park and you'll feel like you're surrounded by the most passionate supporters in the world. But the Irish don't have a monopoly on sporting pride, and in 2014 thousands of dedicated American fans are expected to follow their teams over for this genuinely special event.
And it is most definitely going to be special. The Croke Park Classic is not just the 2014 Season opener for the teams, it also marks the first time either the University of Central Florida or Penn State have played outside the US.

The fans aren't just coming for the football, as Penn State Director of Athletics Davy Joyner already knows.
"We've not only grown our appreciation for the games so entrenched in the history and traditions here in Ireland, but have also confirmed that, because of the Irish people and their hospitality, Penn State fans are going to love their time here in the late summer of 2014."
As any visitor to Ireland will tell you, a warm welcome from the locals awaits fans travelling from the states and by the time you leave, the game won't even be the highlight of your trip.
Instead, it might be an invigorating walk across an incredible landscape, the friends you make in a traditional Irish pub or the best sleep you've ever had followed by the traditional full Irish fry for breakfast, served by the friendly B&B host.
Rest assured, gathering at the games in 2014 is the stuff that dreams are made of.

Atty Mary Ann Arnado Gets Peace Award
Congratulations to Mindanao lawyer and peace advocate Mary Ann Arnado for receiving the first-ever World Vision International Peace Price.
Congratulations to Mindanao lawyer and peace advocate Mary Ann Arnado for receiving the first-ever World Vision International Peace Price.
Should you pay parking fees when you go shop in your favorite? Or should shopping mall owners provide free car parks to their customers? In the Philippines, you have to pay parking fees when you use mall carparks according to a recent decision handed down by the Philippine Supreme Court. The Office of the Solicitor General apparently argued (in behalf of the car-owning public) that the collection of fees by mall owners is prohibited by the National Building Code but the Supreme Court concluded otherwise. From a Business Mirror report:
We don't need more proof that lawyers, like journalists and truth-tellers, live a life that's full of risk and danger but here's a report on the shooting of labor lawyer Joseph Pajanustan. He survived the attempt against his life and is currently in the hospital. We sure hope he recovers.
And the best law schools in the Philippines are ………… hmmm, if we define "best" as the number of bar topnotchers that the school produced, then the best law school would be the UP College of Law. However, this is a very imperfect measure so the best law school in the country remains an issue that is worth debating.
Our Pinoy Lawyer of the Day is Atty. Argee Guevarra who is facing a libel case filed by Dr. Vicky Belo. Belo alleges that the good attorney "libeled" her because he was posting anti-Belo malicious messages (such as calling her "Reyna ng Kaplastikan") on his Facebook page.
The Commission on Higher Education is closing at least seven law schools across the country for their failure to produce a bar passer for the past 10 years. The schools are as follows: Abra Valley College in Bangued, Abra Polytechnic College of La Union in Agoo, La Union Ramon Magsaysay Technological University in Iba, Zambales East Central Colleges in San Fernando, Pampanga Southern Bicol College in Masbate Eastern Samar State University in Borongan, Eastern Samar Samar College in Catbalogan, Western Samar

TORONTO -- Kelvim Escobar and two relievers combined on a four-hitter and Tim Salmon homered to lead the Los Angeles Angels to a 3-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.
Salmon went 2-for-3 with an intentional walk in his first start in right field since July 25, 2004. He missed all of last season because of shoulder and knee injuries.
White Sox 9, Royals 2
CHICAGO -- Javier Vazquez took a perfect game into the sixth inning and Tadahito Iguchi had four hits and scored three runs to lead Chicago over Kansas City.
Vazquez (4-1) kept the Royals off balance, lunging at sharp curves, to win his fourth straight start. He allowed two runs on four hits, struck out six -- all in the first five innings -- and did not walk a batter.
Twins 7, Tigers 6
MINNEAPOLIS -- Luis Castillo slapped a single past a drawn-in Detroit infield, capping a two-run rally that lifted Minnesota.
Todd Jones (0-1) blew his first save in seven chances, with a one-out walk followed by an RBI triple by Shannon Stewart that tied the game. Then came Castillo's hit, giving the Twins their first win over the Tigers in five tries.
Torii Hunter went 3-for-4 with two RBIs for the Twins, who hit into three double plays and are now 1-10 against the three teams ahead of them in the AL Central. Juan Rincon (2-0) picked up the victory in relief.
Red Sox 9, Orioles 3
BOSTON -- Manny Ramirez homered, and he walked twice in Boston's five-run second inning on Saturday night, staking Tim Wakefield to a big early lead and helping the Red Sox win. Wakefield (2-4) had lost three consecutive decisions, but his teammates eliminated the suspense early and sent Baltimore to its fourth straight loss -- and 11th in 14 games.
National League
NEW YORK -- Jose Reyes and Kaz Matsui each had run-scoring hits in another seventh-inning comeback and the New York Mets beat Atlanta 6-5 Saturday, putting the Braves nine games out in the NL East for the first time since Aug. 11, 1993. It was the fourth straight win for the Mets and fourth straight loss for the Braves, winners of 14 consecutive division titles.
Phillies 4, Giants 1
PHILADELPHIA -- Chase Utley homered again and drove in two runs to help the Phillies win their seventh straight game.
Giants slugger Barry Bonds blooped a wind-blown single into left field and finished 1-for-3 with a walk. He remains stuck at 712 homers, two behind Babe Ruth for second place on baseball's career list.
Cardinals 7, Marlins 6
MIAMI -- Mark Mulder pitched six innings for his 100th career victory, and the Cardinals finished with 14 hits against Dontrelle Willis and three relievers.
Willis (1-3) lasted only 4 2-3 innings while giving up seven runs and a career-high 12 hits.
Rockies 5, Astros 0
DENVER -- Jason Jennings pitched a seven-hitter for his second career shutout, leading Colorado over Houston.
Jennings (2-2) struck out a season-high nine, walked one and retired 12 in a row during one stretch.
He was 0-2 in his previous four starts and last won April 9 at San Diego.
Choo Freeman and Todd Helton each drove in a run and finished with two hits. Matt Holliday hit his seventh home run.
Wandy Rodriguez (4-1) worked six innings, allowing a season-high five runs and seven hits.

- Dr. Hiroshi Hiasa
- Dr. Jonathan Marchant
- Dr. Li-Na Wei
Please congratulate them on this funding and wish them best of luck as they begin their research!

GAP Fall 2013 Campaign – Back To Blue
Gap's fall global marketing campaign, entitled 'Back to Blue' – celebrates the brand's heritage with a worldwide campaign. The images have been released in print, outdoor, direct, social, in store, digital and will also make a return to TV. It's the broadest reaching campaign in the company's modern history, reflecting the dramatically changing media landscape. It's definitely going to be big!
The global campaign includes new digital content every day, across many global platforms, including a partnership with Tumblr's mobile platform and a global art partnership with VICE magazine. Kicking off with highly visible outdoor advertising in its top global markets and magazine advertising in August issues worldwide the campaign including model and actress Dree Hemingway and HBO's "GIRLS"actor Adam Driver, features both the attitude and clothing from Gap's fall collection – rooted in denim, chambray and classic Gap items – shot by photographers Inez and Vinood, update Gap's history of capturing powerful portraits for today's audiences.
Starting today, Gap is launching a contest on Tumblr, which encourages digital artists to share what Back to Blue means to them by creating an original piece of content. To help spark entrants' creativity, prominent fashion blogger FashGif will submit the first piece of content and will be featured on Gap's Tumblr. On August 29, the winning works will be featured on Gap's Tumblr and turned into Tumblr mobile ads. This is the first time a brand will own all of Tumblr's mobile ads in one day. To enter the contest, please visit: http://gap.tumblr.com/contest.
Bringing the Back To Blue concept to life on city streets around the world, Gap is partnering with emerging street artists curated by VICE to create ten striking outdoor murals that celebrate individualism, optimism and democracy. Titled "Art of Blue," the murals will be created by artists such as Zio Ziegler, Roman Grandinetti and Andrew McAttee, and will appear in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Paris and Rome. On Saturday August 24th, Gap and VICE invite New Yorkers to experience and admire the work of artist Roman Grandinetti as he creates his mural at Kenmare & Elizabeth Streets.
Sarah Michelle Gellar in Gap Skinny Jeans
Sarah Michelle Gellar and her daughter Charlotte were photographed while out running errands together before heading to a tennis lesson.
While out, Sarah Michelle wore a pair of pink Gap skinny jeans with a white shirt and silver flats. I think that Sarah Michelle tends to keep her outfits pretty low key because she's usually photographed out with her kids, so I can see how she wants to be comfortable. I do like how she usually dresses things up a bit by adding fun accessories, like her flats, which keep the outfit from being too casual. Buy Gap jeans online at Gap.
Halle Berry in Gap 1969 Boyfriend Jeans
Halle Berry chatted with a friend after dropping her daughter Nahla off at school. I can't believe how big her bump is already!
Halle looked comfortable in a pair of Gap 1969 boyfriend jeans, which she wore with a slouchy patterned tunic. I recently picked up a pair of their 1969 boyfriend jeans and they're really comfortable, so I am sure that we'll see Halle out in these jeans quite a bit throughout her pregnancy. You can buy Gap jeans online from Gap.com.
Selma Blair in Gap Skinny Jeans
Selma Blair was spotted taking her adorable son Aurthur to a local park wearing a pair of Gap skinny jeans. Usually we spot Selma in jeans by Siwy, but this pair looks like they are a great pair of classic dark wash skinny jeans.
Has anyone checked out the Gap's selection of denim lately? They have a lot of styles like polka dots and floral prints, at a lower price point if you're interested in trying a trend without spending a lot.

Whatever their cause, heart symptoms should never be taken lightly—especially during the winter months.
According to Cynthia Thaik, M.D., a cardiologist and member of the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association, research has shown that cardiovascular deaths spike by about 18 percent as the days shorten and the weather cools.
Why do cardiovascular concerns increase in winter?
Cold weather, being indoors more often, stress, lack of vitamin D and changes in the daylight to nighttime ratio all play a role in increasing a person's overall risk of cardiac problems during the winter, says Thaik.
There's also something about the holiday season that seems to be hard on the heart—Christmas and New Year's top the list of dangerous days for cardiovascular problems and death.
And, according to recent research, it doesn't seem to matter whether you live in icy Wisconsin, or sunny Florida—the winter months can still take a toll on your ticker.
Researchers from the University of New Mexico discovered that people who lived in Texas, Georgia, Arizona and Los Angeles experienced the same jump in heart-death risk as those residing in cooler states, such as Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

Keith DeRose has argued that context shifting experiments should be designed in a specific way in order to accommodate what he calls a 'truth/falsity asymmetry'. I explain and critique DeRose's reasons for proposing this modification to contextualist methodology, drawing on recent experimental studies of DeRose's bank cases as well as experimental findings about the verification of affirmative and negative statements. While DeRose's arguments for his particular modification to contextualist methodology fail, the lesson of his proposal is that there is good reason to pay close attention to several subtle aspects of the design of context shifting experiments.

|Chris Broussard on D&H: 'Long time' before Cleveland forgives LeBron James
|10.26.10 at 2:33 pm ET
ESPN's Chris Broussard joined the Dale & Holley show Tuesday afternoon to talk about Tuesday's Celtics-Heat season-opener at TD Garden. To hear the interview, go to the Dale & Holley audio on demand page.
Broussard talked about the fallout from the LeBron James decision and how the people of Cleveland remain angry at their former hero.
"The people, they're not forgiving LeBron, and I don't know when they will," Broussard said. "I think, especially if the Cavaliers struggle, it's going to be a long time before they're ready to forgive LeBron. '¦ Most people are heartbroken, and that heartbrokenness has turned into anger and depression. They really are still very angry."
Broussard said this is not a racial issue. "It's across racial lines," he said, adding: "In Cleveland, it's universal that they are down on him. In the 'hood, in the suburbs, everywhere, black, white, Hispanic, whatever. They're down on LeBron all throughout Cleveland."
Asked if James could have not been prepared for the reaction, Broussard said the player doesn't understand the degree of anger. "I think he's more surprised at nationally, the beating that he's taking," Broussard said. "And he is surprised. But I think it's nationally. Maybe a little bit of the the vitriol, the intensity it from Cleveland may be surprising. I think he was a little bit taken aback when he saw his jersey burned. I don't know if the thought of that had ever crossed his mind.
"You got the sense on TV, and even some people in Cleveland that said, "Oh, it was just one or two guys doing it in front of the cameras.' But we found out in neighborhoods people were burning LeBron James jerseys, cutting up LeBron James jerseys. In our piece, one guy talked about how a guy had been beaten up in the basketball courts because he had on a LeBron James jersey. So, the anger was just very intense. I think that LeBron was more surprised nationally by how negative the reaction has been to what he did."
Broussard said the questions about the Heat's Big Three should remind Celtics fans of their Big Three debut three years ago. "A lot of the criticism or the doubts are really similar to what I heard with the Celtics in [2007-08]," Broussard said. "There were serious doubts about that supporting cast. And also about whether or not those three players would mesh.
"I had coaches tell me, 'Oh, Paul Pierce, he doesn't care about winning. He's just wants to get his. He's going to clash with these guys. He's not going to get as many shots.' Things like that. And you saw, they came together. They were older, yes. But these guys in Miami are veterans as well. I mean, seven years they've played. They've all won ' at least LeBron and [Dwyane] Wade have won individual awards. And [Chris] Bosh has been an All-NBA player and a five-time All-Star."
|Doc Rivers: C's just 'other team that's playing'
|10.25.10 at 8:43 pm ET
WALTHAM — So finally, thankfully, mercifully no more hype – just the game.
Ever since the game was announced as part of the full NBA schedule on Aug. 10, news and sports outlets across the country and the globe circled Oct. 26 on their calendars as a "must-cover" event at Boston's TD Garden.
Doc Rivers maintains those news and sports outlets won't be in Boston Tuesday to see a great game but what they think will be one of the greatest teams in NBA history.
'All eyes will be on the game in Boston, but I think all eyes will really be on Miami. We're the other team that's playing and we're just going to show up. But I'm sure everybody is there to see Miami.
'It's opening night, it's great. It's opening night at home. We've had a lot of time to prepare for the game, which is nice, and we're ready to play.'
Rivers said Monday that he feels confident his team is ready for LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat on Tuesday at TD Garden.
And it's fitting that James plays his first official game on the same court he played his last for the Cavaliers. But unlike Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals last May 13, James will be playing alongside players named Wade and Bosh, even if those three played very little together in the preseason because of Wade's nagging hamstring injury.
'I would say it probably hurts them more than it hurts us," Rivers said. "It probably hurts both teams, not being able to scout them and see what exactly what they're going to do when they're all on the floor. You can make the case that not being able to practice at all [together] it may hurt them as much. I don't think it matters. I guarantee you that Wade will have the ball a lot, so will LeBron and so will Bosh.' Read the rest of this entry »
|Irish Coffee: NBA Fun & Games
|at 10:53 am ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
Over the weekend, NBA.com released a series of videos — entitled "NBA Unscripted" — leading up to tomorrow's opening-night tipoff between the Celtics and Heat.
The footage includes some pretty cool interactions between the C's Big Three. Here are some nuggets:
Kevin Garnett: "This training camp has some of the same energy that '07 did. We stepped in the gym, and everybody was there early. I just feel like we're reliving that. It feels like deja vu a little bit. In '07, when we were alone, we came in the gym, and there was an energy. You could feel it. There were certain things you didn't have to say."
Ray Allen: "After Game 7, we were on the bus, and we started talking about the summer and the future, and we all hurt inside. We all had pain, and to this moment it bothered me to think where we were, what we did and what we could've gotten accomplished. We can say that we don't have regrets, but there are things that we wish we could've done better."
There's plenty more on the Celtics in the Unscripted series. Check these out: The Countdown, Embracing a Role and Floor Leader, which includes this from Rajon Rondo:
"The more years I play and each year I get more experience, the more of a leadership role I have to take on as the point guard of this team. It's as simple as that. Whether I play as great as I did the last couple years or not, I'm still the leader. I'm here for a reason."
Of course, no NBA preview would be complete without plenty of Heat discussion. Unscripted is no different. Here's a couple tidbits from Miami:
Chris Bosh: "To get to where we want to go, it has to be intense. We know that other teams like the Celtics are out there working very, very hard, so we probably have to go even harder."
Dwyane Wade: "People say we're there, but we're not there yet. We look at the Boston Celtics of the world and say, 'That's what we need to get to.' And we've gotta work very hard to get there."
Shaquille O'Neal generates more gems than Tiffany & Co. After posing as a statue (sorry, "Shaqtue") for an hour in Harvard Square last week, The Big Shamrock is already planning his next stunt, according to USA Today.
Always wondered what Shaq might look like as a woman? Well, on the subway this Halloween, you just might meet Shaquita, a 7-foot-1, 345-pound woman. Ever want to hurl a snowball at Shaq? This winter, he may don a snowsuit and stand in a field somewhere as a human target.
"This is the funnest team I've been on in my life," Shaq told the paper. "Seriously. These guys are great. Usually, I'm the ringleader of bringing fun to a team, but I haven't even done anything yet. These guys crack me up. Big Baby (Glen Davis) and Nate Robinson, they need their own TV show."
Still, in the same article, Doc Rivers stressed that Shaq's maintaining a balance between off-the-court fun and on-the-court production.
"This city wants a winner," added Shaq. "I want a winner. Everybody on this team wants to win. For me, that's what it's all about."
KG isn't the only Celtics veteran feeling fully healthy after a summer filled with thoughts of vengeance. According to Jackie MacMullan on ESPN.com, Pierce is, too.
"I feel great for the first time in a long time," Pierce told MacMullan.
After suffering knee, foot and thumb injuries during the 2009-10 regular season, Pierce reportedly had to wear a brace and some serious padding in his shoe just to make it through the NBA Finals.
The most disturbing revelation from MacMullan's fantastic piece (per usual): After Pierce's minor surgery midway through last season, his knee would actually pop open and gush liquid (I hope you're not eating your breakfast with this Irish Coffee).
"I was probably a little stubborn about not letting it heal right," Pierce admitted to ESPN.com. "I told them I was fine, but I had this fluid leaking out all over the place. It wasn't so much the pain. I just lost all my strength. I played a lot of last season on basically one leg."
It's nice to see Stephane Lasme getting a shot at making another NBA roster. The former UMass standout received an invite to work out for the Phoenix Suns, according to NBA reporter Alex Kennedy.
Lasme was a stand-up guy in Celtics training camp, and even carried himself with dignity following the news that the C's cut him from the roster — wishing each of his teammates good luck this season.
The C's have a deep roster this year, so failing to make the cut shouldn't deflate a guy like Lasme, who could still contribute to an NBA team.
Green Street has you covered for any and all information you could possibly want leading up to tomorrow night's opener. Paul Flannery has already churned out a ton of impressive stuff, including a great piece on Jermaine O'Neal, a breakdown of the secret to the Big Three's success, this season's top five NBA storylines and his Talking Hoops podcast.
Meanwhile, I contacted 30 blogs from around the league to give you a prediction for the team they cover and, of course, the Celtics. I'll say this: You'll be surprised by the range of projections. Part 1 is already up on the blog. Stay tuned for the remainder of the Western Conference today and the Eastern Conference tomorrow.

|Pierce: No window watching needed
|10.20.10 at 11:51 pm ET
Everyone assumed that the Celtics starters would play only until halftime in Wednesday's preseason finale against the New Jersey Nets … including, apparently, some of the players.
Boston got off to a sluggish start, and while New Jersey figures to be much-improved this year with new head coach Avery Johnson, the Celtics had no business being down 14 points early in the second quarter, on their home court, in their final tuneup before the most important (or, at least, most hyped?) regular season game in NBA history on Tuesday night at TD Garden.
And their captain knew it. Paul Pierce, who finished with a game-high 17 points in a 107-92 win over the Nets, said the Celtics wanted a good feeling heading into the season.
'We knew that was not our brand of basketball how we came out to start the game," Pierce said of allowing the Nets to shoot 50 percent and score 55 points in the first half. "We wanted to try to establish the tone in the third quarter and we just have to do a better job on starting games off and understanding on what we need to do. But I think for the most part we are ready.
'You want to sort of build something going into the season individually and as a team. It's about getting the confidence going. You want to be playing well not just as a team. Trying to figure out some things I am trying to do offensively just to get some confidence to know I can get the job done during the regular season.'
But that wasn't the only message Pierce sent after the game. He was asked if he views this season, starting with Tuesday's showdown with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, as a final shot at an NBA title with the current group of Celtics.
"I don't look at it that way," Pierce said. "I've got four years left, shoot. The window's open as long as I'm here. Definitely, the sense of urgency is there every year we have our team [together]. We don't look ahead at a window. The object is to have a sense of urgency now and then next year, worry about that."
|Practice report: Sharpening the tools
|10.18.10 at 4:35 pm ET
The Celtics are a little more than a week away from their much-anticipated regular season opener against the Miami Heat at the Garden. They have already played six preseason games, but after surviving a four games in five days road trip that included a quasi-home game in Hartford, the C's are ready to get down to business with a week's worth of practices.
"It's a good time for us," Paul Pierce said. "We can sharpen our tools."
The news out of Monday's practice was the surgical procedure underwent by Doc Rivers Sunday morning to ease the tension on his vocal chords. Rivers was home resting Monday, and there's no word yet on when he will return. As expected, Rivers did leave a practice plan for his coaches, and under the eyes of Lawrence Frank, Armond Hill and Kevin Eastman, the C's went through a two-hour practice session.
Of immediate importance is getting the players back and healthy for the start of the season. Delonte West returned to Boston for tests on his back last week and Frank said that West responded favorably. Still, West sat out practice as did rookie Avery Bradley who is dealing with the affects of an offseason ankle scope. Marquis Daniels was also limited at practice to non-contact drills. He's dealing with rotator cuff soreness.
Jermaine O'Neal (hamstring) and Shaquille O'Neal (soreness in hips) practiced fully.
"We've got to get everybody back on the court," Pierce said. "At the same time we've got a few nagging injuries that we're taking care of right now. I think it's good that we get them all out of the way. We're right on schedule I believe. I'm confident about opening day, if it started today."
Here are some points of emphasis for the final week of preseason camp: Read the rest of this entry »
|Irish Coffee: A Preview of Celtics Previews
|at 10:49 am ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
Every publication from here to Los Angeles is rolling out its NBA preview, and the predictions for the Celtics are, well, pretty predictable: They're old, but they're deep. They coasted through the 2009-10 regular season, and they'll do it again. If they can stay healthy, they'll compete for a championship. See for yourself …
SLAM Magazine: "Get your jokes in about the Celtics while you can. Sure, the Big Three and Shaq Daddy may alternate using the wheelchair Paul Pierce used in Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals. They probably will take some games off in the regular season, as head coach Doc Rivers did last year to keep the team healthy for the playoff run. And Rajon Rondo's jumper, though improving, is still broken like the NBA single-game scoring record Michael Jordan would be if he had played in his prime today. That said, this is a team that finished second in team assists and fifth in points allowed last season, and they have seemingly improved as a team overall. No squad in the NBA overcomes their deficiencies like the Boston Celtics, and they are serious title contenders in the 2010-11 season. Don't say we didn't tell you so if the Miami Heat cool off, the Orlando Magic disappear and Irish eyes are smiling after another magnificent seventh game between the Lakers and Celtics."
That points allowed indicator — and, more specifically, point differential — has been a fairly good reflection of the C's success the last three years. In the 2007-08 season, they ranked second in points allowed (90.3) and first in point differential (+10.2), resulting in a 66-16 record, homecourt throughout the playoffs and an NBA title.
In the last two seasons, during the 2008-09 campagin (62-20) and last year's regular-season walkthrough (50-32), those numbers slipped.
To put the importance of those stats in perspective, when the C's finished 24-58 in 2006-07 BB3 (Before Big 3), they ranked 18th in points allowed and 23rd in point differential. Keep an eye on those numbers in the first month of the season, especially considering the C's brutal schedule through the first few weeks.
Ball Don't Lie: "The team looks great. Kevin Garnett appears to be the picture of health, a chubbed-out Paul Pierce is as feisty as ever, Ray Allen looks about the same, and the team just oozes competitive spirit. But this is a team built to turn over a new leaf when there aren't any leaves on the trees next spring, not when the foliage is blowing around and the days are getting shorter. It's a long season, people get injured and things tend to even out. And, as was the case last year, those 50 wins would have little bearing on what happens in the postseason. This is a championship contender. Perhaps more than ever."
I'm not exactly sure what they're getting at when they call Pierce "chubbed-out," considering he's shown up slimmed down in each of the last two seasons. Still, they touch on an interesting point: The C's competitive spirit. With the play of the second unit, a renewed focus on that two-year window and a vengeance factor for that Game 7 loss, this year's team appears to have a competitive edge we haven't seen since 2007-08.
Hoops Daily: "The Celtics' Achilles heel remains health. A lot of guys have played a lot of games, and a major injury to anybody inside the Allen-Garnett-Pierce trio would be catastrophic. Rebounding, the Celtics' ugly nemesis last year, could prove to be even more problematic with Perkins in street clothes for a while. And then there's the departure of Tom Thibodeau, the guy who masterminded the Celtics' dominant lockdown defense for the last three years, to consider as well. The team has the personnel and the experience to continue their defensive dominance, but it wouldn't be a shock if they took a slight step back in that department. The Big Three are rickety and parts of their bench are downright old, but if you're an Eastern Conference team dreaming of a Finals matchup with the Lakers, you'd do well not to run into the Green come May. Expecting 50-55 wins is probably best for a group that will likely go through the motions in the regular season before showing up gangbusters in the playoffs."
Obviously, a major injury to any of the Big 4 (with Rondo) would be catastrophic. Then again, that can be said for the Heat, Lakers and Magic as well. I'm not sure if I'm buying the rebounding issue, either, considering that was the Celtics main focus in the offseason. I'm not sure if you know, but the C's picked up Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal in the offseason, not to mention the addition of Semih Erden.
However, the loss of Thibodeau needed to be mentioned. That point differential statistic is largely a result of a defensive scheme he implemented, and the C's will be integrating the O'Neal Brothers and Co. into that scheme without Thibodeau. How Rivers and new assistant Lawrence Frank incorporate the new bodies into the "if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it" defensive system will go a long way in determining this team's success. In his first two full seasons as head coach of the Nets (2004-05 and 2005-06), Frank's teams ranked sixth in points allowed.
|NBA Power Rankings, 10/14
|10.14.10 at 12:12 pm ET
1. LA Lakers: Lamar Odom hired his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, as his new manager. If the knee injuries to Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum don't spell doom for the Lakers, this could, as anybody who has seen "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" can attest. We'll leave them in the top spot — until Kris makes Odom pose nude or something.
2. Boston: After his jumper to beat the Knicks, Paul Pierce appears to be up to his old game-winning ways. And the Celtics bench seems to keep getting deeper and deeper. The play of Semih Erden, Stephane Lasme and Luke Harangody has been an encouraging sign. So far, the injury bug has only claimed Delonte West, and he's suspended for 10 games anyway.
3. Miami: First it was Dwyane Wade's hamstring, and now it's LeBron James' leg cramps. I heard somewhere that if Wade really does miss the remainder of the preseason, the Heat's Big 3 (do they have a nickname yet?) will have only played a few minutes together before taking on the Celtics on opening night. I think it's just a marketing ploy.
4. Oklahoma City: Larry Brown recently called the Thunder everything that's right with the NBA: young, talented and well-behaved. I couldn't agree more. This team should be fun to watch all season long, especially if Longar Longar makes the roster.
5. Dallas: With this new technical foul rule, how much in fines do you think Mark Cuban will spend this year? I'm putting the over/under at $1 million. In other news, I love the nickname for Mavericks rookie Dominique Jones: DoJo.

After surrendering a franchise-record 898 runs to the opposition en route to finishing 16 games behind the first-place Philadelphia Athletics the previous year, the Yankees knew they had to do something if they had any intention of contending for the American League pennant in 1931. Once they decided to part ways with manager Bob Shawkey at season's end, the first order of business became finding his replacement. To that end, the Yankees turned to Joe McCarthy, who just two years earlier had led the Chicago Cubs to the National League pennant. McCarthy never played in the major leagues, but he managed in the minors for more than a decade before the Cubs gave him his first opportunity to take over the reins of a big-league ball club. McCarthy became available when Chicago management fired him after the Cubs failed to repeat as National League champions in 1930.
Upon his arrival in New York, McCarthy received a less-than-enthusiastic greeting from most Yankee players, who viewed him as a National League interloper. Babe Ruth, in particular, resented his presence since the Bambino aspired to manage the team himself. Although McCarthy never won Ruth over, he gradually earned the respect and loyalty of the other players on the team as he began to mold his kind of undemonstrative and proficient team. McCarthy ended up managing the Yankees for the next 15 years, leading them to eight pennants and seven world championships.
The Yankees showed improvement under McCarthy in his first year at the helm, posting a record of 94-59, while reducing their team ERA from 4.88 to 4.20. Unfortunately, the Philadelphia Athletics continued to play superb baseball, capturing the American League pennant for the third consecutive season by finishing the campaign with a record of 107-45. As a result, New York had to settle for a distant, second-place finish.
Nevertheless, the Yankees made huge strides in 1931. The pitching staff began to take shape as Lefty Gomez and Red Ruffing developed into solid starters at the top of the rotation. Although Ruffing's 4.41 ERA left something to be desired, he finished the campaign with 16 victories and 19 complete games. Meanwhile, Gomez established himself as the staff ace in his first full season, going 21-9, with a 2.67 ERA and 17 complete games.
While the pitching staff began to round into form, the Yankee offense remained the best in baseball, producing a major-league best 1,067 runs – the most scored by any team in the "modern era." New York also led the majors with 155 home runs, a .297 batting average, a .383 on-base percentage, and a .457 slugging percentage. Shortstop Lyn Lary had a career-year, batting .280, driving in 107 runs, and scoring 100 others. Third baseman Joe Sewell, acquired from the Cleveland Indians prior to the start of the season, batted .302, scored 102 runs, and struck out only eight times in almost 600 total plate appearances. Ben Chapman, who moved to his more natural position of left field to make room at third for Sewell, batted .315, hit 17 homers, knocked in 122 runs, scored 120 others, and led the American League with 61 stolen bases. Bill Dickey batted .327 and drove in 78 runs. Earle Combs batted .318 and scored 120 runs. Babe Ruth had another phenomenal year, leading the league with 46 home runs, a .495 on-base percentage, and a .700 slugging percentage, while also finishing second with 163 runs batted in, 149 runs scored, 374 total bases, and a .373 batting average. Lou Gehrig was equally magnificent, batting .341, tying Ruth for the league lead with 46 homers, and topping the circuit with 163 runs scored, 211 hits, 410 total bases, and an American League record 184 runs batted in.
The Yankees also took a brief look into the future, calling up for the first time from the minor leagues two players that eventually carved out outstanding careers for themselves. Third baseman Red Rolfe made his major league debut with the club, appearing in one game as a defensive replacement, while 20-year-old outfielder Dixie Walker donned a Yankee uniform for the first time as well, getting three hits in 10 at-bats, for a .300 batting average.By Bob_Cohen
