TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - Sam Clancy had 20 points and 12 rebounds as No. 18 Southern California gained a split on its annual trip to the desert by beating Arizona State 81-73 Saturday night.
The Trojans (14-3, 6-1 Pac-10) had won nine straight before a 97-80 loss at Arizona on Thursday. But they kept a share of the conference lead by beating the Sun Devils (10-7, 3-5) for the seventh time in eight meetings.

Talib Kweli
Ahard-knock life? Eh, not so much. In stark contrast to so many of his fellow Brooklyn-born MCs, Talib Kweli was raised by two university-professor parents and spent part of his childhood in a posh Connecticut boarding school. As such, matters of Afrocentric conscience, not urban street survival, informed his first hip-hop efforts (mostly notably the Black Star project in the late '90s with former collaborator Mos Def). Over time, Kweli — whose solo album Eardrum debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in 2006 — would publicly grapple with his enlightened-brother label; in an interview with Vibe magazine, he announced plans to call a future album Prisoner of Consciousness. Kweli and longtime collaborator DJ Hi-Tek's current project Reflection Eternal's Revolutions Per Minute LP dropped back in May, featuring such radio-friendly tracks as bouncy doo-wop dance single "Midnight Hour." Featuring guest vocals by hip-hop siren Estelle, if this is Kweli's way of rebranding himself as a fun guy, it ain't half bad. Certainly Revolutions is more infectiously joyful than his craven hijacking of Corey Hart's "Sunglasses at Night" hook on the dreadful single "Steady." Yikes — let's see him get that off his conscience.

BioWare Austin VP heads to Playdom, Disney dev heads to LucasArts
In what appears to be a revolving door situation at Disney, the company has seen game design director Frederic Markus jump ship to LucasArts.
It follows a recent restructuring at DIS.
Markus's new post at Lucas is studio creative director. His appointment comes less than a year after the appointment of new president Paul Meegan, the resignation of Force Unleashed boss Hayden Blackman and a round of layoffs.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, though, Disney has seen the addition of Gordon Walton to its social game company Playdom. Walton, previously VP and co-GM of Old Republic developer BioWare Austin, joins as an executive producer.
There's more on both appointments over at IG and Gama.

Jim Lauderdale On World Cafe
Set List
- "Alligator Alley"
- "Cruel Wind and Rain"
- "Good Together"
- "Louisville Roll"
Jim Lauderdale is an established name in Nashville, where he's written hits for several A-list musicians. But despite 19 studio albums and two Grammy Awards, he's not as well-known outside Americana and bluegrass circles. Lauderdale "never got the lucky breaks that shoot one performer to the top while hundreds of equal or greater merit slog around playing bars, releasing streetwise records that provide songs for others to cover," said friend, collaborator and Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. "But doing it the hard way is where soul comes from, not the manufactured kind but the real thing. ... If you don't like country with a humble jolt of human soul, leave him alone."
The Americana community certainly hasn't. Lauderdale took home "Artist of the Year" and "Song of the Year" at the Americana Music Association's Honors and Awards Show in 2002, and has hosted the ceremony ever since.
The songwriter and oversize personality joined World Cafe host David Dye to discuss his long career and play songs from his new album, Patchwork River.
This World Cafe segment originally aired Dec. 7, 2010.

Patient Comments: Hysterectomy - Describe Your Experience
Please describe your Hysterectomy experience.
Comment from: Nora, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: March 17
I had a partial laparoscopic hysterectomy two weeks ago. I kept my ovaries. I"ve had no pain, bleeding or discharge. The only thing was the bloating. Since I feel so good I want to do everything I did before. I have to keep reminding myself I just had major surgery. Up to now I"m glad I had it done.
Comment from: bored to death, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: March 04
I just turned 45 on February 11th. When going to my family doctor for my yearly checkup I was called and told my hemoglobin was 7.0. I already knew what the problem was so I called my obstetrician/gynecologist. I saw her the same day and I was told after exam and a sonogram that I had to have a total hysterectomy. It was scheduled for the next Tuesday. If my HB was high enough to have it. It fell to 6.8 so I had a transfusion the night before. It will be a week march 4th that I had the surgery. I had a total abdominal with everything removed. The worst so far was in the recovery room. I had severe nausea, I believe only due to the pain. They put me on a pain pump and it helped a lot. My hemoglobin came up post operation because there was no more bleeding. The catheter, oxygen, leg wraps and IV were gone the next morning. I even got up in a chair the same evening as surgery. I came home on the second day and so far so good. My hubby keeps yelling at me to sit and I do have pain but so far it has been much worth it.
Comment from: SJR30, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: February 26
I"m 32 and 12 days post laparoscopic robot assisted vaginal hysterectomy. I"m moving great even though I still get worn out fairly easily. The only thing that I can say is bothering me is some incision tenderness and abdominal and back spasms. I'm not sure if that is normal but they can be quite painful. I have had some emotional days and a feeling of loss but I won"t have to spend months on end bleeding every day. I"m glad I made this decision.
Comment from: JLM 769, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 26
Two weeks ago I had a total abdominal hysterectomy (27 staples) and I"m still having trouble with mobility as well as dealing with the pain. I had been suffering with uterine fibroids for years, extreme periods lasting two weeks at times and couldn"t leave the house for the first five days. I have a lot of swelling. The pain is horrible. I want a normal life again.
Comment from: cfoster, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 26
I had a robotic total hysterectomy on Monday (today is Thursday) due to stage 4 endometriosis. I feel darn good. I took pain pills on Tuesday but haven"t needed them since. I have been extremely tired but can get around fine. The incisions are itchy but not infected. I was put immediately on a dual patch for estrogen/progestin. I am so glad I won"t have periods anymore! The doctor said I"d feel like a new woman.
Comment from: Sally, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 20
I am 45 years old, and on February 11, 2014 I had an abdominal hysterectomy to remove a large fibroid, small fibroids, enlarged uterus the size of a big cantaloupe, and cervix. I also had endometriosis. My incision is 7 inches running from hip to hip. I had 7:30am surgery on the 11th. I refused the epidural twice on the 12th, as well as hard drugs. I was given Advil every 8 hours and Tylenol every 6 hours. I was released after only one night in the hospital. I am 5 days into recovery and I went grocery shopping with my husband today, and made dinner tonight. The worst part of this was the gas pains that radiate to the shoulder. I took some chewable gas tables, and Colace for a stool softener. Colace was gentle so I took one in the am, midday and evening. I did the same with the gas chewables.
Comment from: Tracey22222, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 14
I had a full hysterectomy a little over two weeks ago. I feel horrible. I"m healing well, but terrible headaches and body aches plague me. I am weak and tired. My hot flashes last so long that it feels like a fever. CBC came back normal. My gynecologist doubled my hormones, which helped some in the beginning. I was extremely depressed and just lost immediately after, so the hormones helped that. I felt great about a week ago, then the headaches and body aches started. The only reason I can write today is because that has let up some today. I know, however, this will not last. I'm waiting for a call from the doctor to see what we can do. I"m 50 and was already menopausal and on a light dose of hormones. I used to have migraines when I was on the pill years ago from a drop in hormones on the blank pills. I think we can safely say having no ovaries is not a good thing for me. I could have kept them with several cysts or given them up to have this. I hope this helps others who might be experiencing this too. I know it did me. I"m not crazy or a hypochondriac when I see others have been where I am.

Sailor Mercury by lenadrofranciWatch
©2011-2016 lenadrofranci
This dress looks very cute in blue!
Would you allow me to put this as my phone background?
Very gorgeous!
This is SUCH a great series! I really wish you'd do the rest - I love your interpretation of the senshi, and your artistic style is fantastic! No chance of ever seeing Pluto, Neptune, and/or Uranus? Or Chibi Moon? Or Galaxia? Or the Stars? In any case - VERY well-done! I love all of these!
I really don't think I'm going back to Sailor Senshi so soon.
Can't say never, but for now, I'm done with them.
awesome !
I actually prefer how you did her hair, makes her seem more real in my opinion <3
Great **
Aaah, it's so pretty! Great work!
Linda e eu adoro o fato de vc nao ter colocado o cabelo azul, ja que a foto é pra ser realista, de fato um cabelo azul nao combinaria com a personalidade da sailor mercury se ela fosse real. Perfeito!
é, eu nao acho muito condizente com a realidade ela ter cabelo azul. nao q elas estejam hiper realistas, nem era a minha intenção. mas estava ficando esquisito com cabelo azul.
Esta realista sim, nao seja modesto rs, ainda nao da pra confundir com um humano real , mas acho que isso ainda nao existe por aí.
woah.....thats really awsome!
Wow, that's awesome!! She looks so real! How did you do her hair?
i just painted the hair, lol
i just painted the hair, lol
Aww, she looks so young and cute in your style! Looks more realistic.
Si belle
Awsome pic!
Ficou fofa demais *O*
i think she's my favorite, this is beautifully done GREAT JOB!!
I absolutely love your style!
You did this without a model? Excellent work!
Water effects are amazing
Just... everything! I love everything about it! The hair, the fuku... An incredible job!
Your choice regarding her hairstyle is just perfect. Since you drew her in a realistic way, her natural features should look more realistic as well. Wouldn't have her any other way.
WOOOW!the water effect is so perfectly done!love the colors used here!

Mouth-to-mouth and mouth-to-nose methods of artificial respiration are simplified and made more effective if the patient's neck is extended by the procedure here described. With the patient in the supine or semilateral position, the rescuer uses one hand to tilt the patient's head as far back as possible. He uses his other hand to pull the patient's chin upward. Circumstances determine whether the rescuer will apply his mouth to the mouth or the nose of the patient. The use of adjuncts like tubes and masks by untrained laymen in order to avoid direct contact is not recommended.

Colt and Graden Hooker enjoyed a return deer hunting trip to Fulton County Illinois in early November. The next week Cade Hooker, Phil Warren and Phil Robbins hunted the same area. I enjoyed a call from J. R. Austin of Cave-in-Rock, Illinois, who reported that a good hunting season had started there at Lane Mountain on the Ohio River. Their other land borders the Shawnee National Forest on the Ohio which is a beautiful area reminiscent of the old CCC Road forest that was once in Lafayette County. The ferry is open as it is the main entrance and outlet to this river town.

Sympathy is extended to the family of Doyle Lamar Russell, retired Vice-Chancellor of Administration at the University of Mississippi, as he and his late wife, Melba Jean(Waldrop)Russell had built a new home at the Kendal Russell home place in Hurricane and had enjoyed ten years of their retirement here. He was the top scholar of the Class of 1947 at Hurricane High and continued his education at the University of Mississippi thus beginning his successful career at Ole Miss. Among those attending the services at Sand Springs Church and Cemetery from out of town include the following: His daughter, Angela(Jim)Browning and family; Dr. Richard(Jackie)Russell, all of New Albany; Dr, Stanley Russell of Jackson; and Jeannette(Russell)Jarrett, Memphis;Larry and Pam Russell, Pontotoc.
Sympathy is extended to the family of Toy Lamar Rutledge of Clarinda, Iowa who was the son of Bro. Wayne and Ila(Gregory)Rutledge of the community.

my dad U.S. citizen and now i am her in USA from 1 month i and i am 35 years old i born in 1978 and my father take the citizen in 1992 i think i would like to know i have right to ask for it or what
and thanks for help
Criminal Defense Attorney
It depends on whether you were living with your father in 1992, what your immigration status was, and if your parents were married at the time. You need to call an immigration lawyer to review the details.
Immigration Attorney
I believe you are asking whether or not you derive citizenship. Based on these facts, I do not believe you do.

Just blocks off Bourbon Street lie several excellent, elegant cocktail bars. The Empire Bar at Broussard's is one. Arnaud's French 75 Bar is another.
Black-and-white tiled floors, a mirrored mahogany back bar, monkey motif lamps and a well-trained bow-tied bar staff create a space that is a far cry from the boisterous businesses that line New Orleans most famous street.
But, French 75 is far from stuffy. Step in one night and find groups of women kicking up their heels for bachelorette party and a gang of guys out on the town. Visit again and bar is filled with couples chatting over classic cocktails, including the namesake French 75 -- made with Cognac, not gin.
These cocktails are mixed with ease and expertise.
Senior bartender Chris Hannah is a cocktail world celebrity for a reason. Here, seasonal original cocktails are rooted in history and the product of years of experience and research. But more importantly, Hannah insists on old-school style of service that seems to have vanished everywhere but in New Orleans.
Not just a classic French Quarter bar, or just a place for great cocktails, Arnaud's French 75 Bar was voted No. 1 in our readers' poll among our Top 10 New Orleans bars for 2014.
Note: Now that New Orleans bars no longer allow smoking, French 75's cigar selection is a thing of the past.
Tip: The soufflé potatoes, a classic Arnaud's appetizer, are an ideal bar snack as are brie and jalapeno stuffed shrimp and gougeres.
Location: 813 Bienville St., New Orleans, 504.523.5433
Open: Daily. Parking: Street.
Prices: Beer, $4-$6.50; wine, $10.50-$18.50; cocktails, $8.75-$13.95
Crowd: The crowd tends to mixture of tourists and locals, drawn by the elegant setting and well-crafted drinks.
Live music: No. Food: Yes. Outdoor seating: No.

Purchased this skillet a couple of weeks ago. Used it many times. It is a great skillet for the price!
I love this pan. I use it almost daily. Noticed when I arrived back home that it's oven proof as well which greatly adds to the value. I've used it on the stove & in the oven & it's performed great. Even cooking, nothing sticks to it and easiest clean up ever. We're definitely going to buy it in the smaller sizes. I can see this pan holding up very well compared to other brands.

Odemwingie has been attracting headlines for his Twitter rants against the club and turning up without permission at Loftus Road on transfer deadline day, only for his move to QPR to collapse.
But the issue appears to have been resolved in the short term with Odemwingie issuing an apology for his actions after being disciplined and fined by West Brom.
Clarke claimed Odemwingie had produced a "man of the match performance" in his last appearance for the club in a 2-2 home draw with Aston Villa three weeks ago.
Now the Baggies chief wants more of the same when he decides Odemwingie is ready to return - possibly in Monday's away encounter with Liverpool.
Clarke said: "There are no winners in this issue. It was an episode in which there can be no winners.
"It is an unsavoury episode at the club and all I want to do now is move forward.
"Peter has paid a price (for his behaviour) and that's the way it should be. I know he has accepted the sanctions from the club, he's issued an apology and he wants to move on like we all want to.
"Our personal and professional relationship is fine. We had a chat in the summer, he stayed and made a good contribution to the first half of the season.
"Now he has to make a good contribution to the second half of the season."

[b:Let the Right One In|943402|Let the Right One In|John Ajvide Lindqvist|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327893384s/943402.jpg|928338] es un libro que causa sentimientos encontrados; te muestra el lado feo, sucio y repulsivo de la vida: pedofilia, pederastia, asesinatos, psicopatía, alcoholismo, drogadicción, soledad. Y al mismo tiempo te susurra bajito: "No todo es malo. Mira: ahí hay una amistad, ahí hay una madre abrazando a su hijo, ahí hay dos personas que se aman sin condiciones". Te muestra una infelicidad y una esperanza tan absolutas, que al final no sabía si estaba absolutamente maravillada con la vida... o deprimida.
Al principio me costó bastante agarrarle el hilo a la historia, hay muchos personajes —y muchos puntos de vistas—, que van mostrando cosas que pueden parecer irrelevantes. Fue solo después de la mitad que me di cuenta que todo tiene una razón de ser y entonces no pude parar de leer. Las cosas comienzan a formarse poco a poco hasta que de pronto la acumulación de pequeños hechos generan una avalancha de consecuencias.
Me gusta la forma en que el autor aborda el tema de los vampiros y los muestra no como monstruos, sino como seres enfermos. Ellos no eligieron ser así, no quieren tener que matar a otros, no quieren alimentarse de sangre... pero quieren vivir. Sin embargo, más que una historia de vampiros, yo diría que es una historia con vampiros. Pero, sobretodo, es una historia de amor.
The atmosphere of the decaying housing estate, and the school bullying were the things I remembered most strongly after the first reading; the second was more vivid with the descriptions of Hakan, Eli and Oskar...
Still a 4 star - the subject matter, of Hakan's unearthly longing was too uncomfortable for me to say I "loved" the book
Vampire stories are considered a dime a dozen any more - they've been done and redone to death. Let Me In is different, at least in that the vampire is a child, not with a seductive bite, not even with a specific gift or mission, but a cold creature who adapts as she meets a neighbor boy.
This book's pacing is slow; it's more of a drama piece over a horror one, although it does have eerie moments. There's violence, but most of it isn't through the vampire's hands directly. Gore and blood does not exist just for shock value.
Characterization is...interesting. The main boy-child, Oskar, is enjoyable to read about because he has a violent tendency of his own, is back and forth between two completely different homes, and finds his life surrounded by bullies at school and semi-pals at his apartments. There was a big factor in the story about bullying, trouble at school, summoning up courage, trying to adjust into difficult worlds where you just can't fit.
Eli isn't anything special to me, not that interesting, although the character isn't horrible to read about. Her caretaker was intriguing - what a weird man struggling with such twisted desires!
What I found a turn-off with the book was too much head-hopping and the detailed side stories. These sidelines distracted too much from the overarching storyline. Sure, they come into play later with the vampire angle and what can happen, but I still didn't care much. Too much time was invested in that, which is probably why the page count is larger than the main story warrants.
The dialogue didn't suit me either. It was stilted, often cut off and hesitant. The overdoing of this took me out of the story at times.
There is a cold feel to the main characters, which only makes sense. The distant and sometimes dry tone of the writing compliments that. Slow pacing is the only thing that would well with that mixture. I can easily imagine some subtle and gorgeous musical score accompanying this book if one was composed.
This is not 'another vampire story.' The focus isn't on vampirism, but of a strong bond that develops between two isolated souls who feel a connection. It's certainly not a match made in heaven, but it's a match that works in their world.
The ending...well, it was nifty. Nothing in your face, nothing shocking, not alarming, but suitable. It begins quietly but with power, and then it ends on that same note.
Love the piss ball, and that the boy is so much more disturbed in the book than in the movie.
Every so often a writer comes along and challenges the perceived boundaries of "genre fiction", retaining some basic elements to keep the particular genre recognisable whilst fiddling around with the rest. This is exactly what Lindqvist does in "Let the Right One In". True to tradition, his Undead require an invitation to cross any threshold (hence the title), need a regular diet of fresh blood to survive and catch fire when exposed to sunlight. So far, so familiar. The novelty lies in the vampire character - no ageless bloodsucking count or sexy Twilight-style protagonist - but Eli, a seemingly vulnerable two-hundred year old girl whose development is frozen at the cusp of puberty and who finds a kindred spirit in bullied Oskar.
Similarly, the sitting is not your typical Gothic backdrop but a boringly normal Stockholm suburb in the early 80s. It is a newly-built area where, the author tells us, "there wasn't even a church. Nine thousand inhabitants and no church". It is, in other words, a settlement without a past, without a sense of community, without a moral compass.
Lindqvist manages to evoke this sense of dreariness - his novel is peopled by single mothers struggling to raise difficult children, youths who resort to drugs or bullying just to chase away their boredom, old people struggling to make sense of their final years. In this context, the vampire almost assumes a symbolic significance, its bloodsucking a metaphor for the spent life-force of these monotonous urban surroundings.
Given its richness of ideas and literary ambition, this novel could well have won over readers who are not generally keen on vampire tales. But this being "modern horror", psychologically-charged storytelling is not enough for Lindqvist. No, he must bludgeon our heads with a sledgehammer!
...and so his Undead child is aided and abetted by a homicidal paedophile (whom we get to see in action a couple of times), we get some acid throwing for good measure, Oskar is bullied by sadistic classmates (leading him to wet his pants with wearisome regularity) but discovers a surprisingly violent streak when he finally makes up his mind to fight back. In the concluding part of the book, as bodies pile up and the plot becomes increasingly OTT, we even skirt zombie territory and the novel's supposed "scariness" descends into grotesque black humour.
I can't say I didn't enjoy this novel. But I did find myself missing my old friends Bram Stoker, Sheridan Le Fanu and M R James. They're much subtler. And scarier.
If you have time over, read this book. I will however not recommend that you sell your granny to be able to afford it, unless you really dislike your granny, of course.

User Evaluation on Loudness Harmonization on the Web
The problem of annoying loudness jumps occurring between different TV and radio stations or programs became generally known over the last decades. Since the publication of the recommendations ITU-R BS.1770-1 (in 2006) and EBU-R 128 (in 2010) and the actual version of the ITU Recommendation BS.1770-2 (2011), more and more tools have become available that allow loudness harmonisation in broadcasting. The European research project NoTube integrates loudness harmonisation in its research concepts in order to investigate the applicability of these tools in web environments where the situation is even worse. The user evaluation of different loudness and loudness range adaptations presented in this paper was carried out online and thus considers real web conditions. In particular the interdependence between parameters of the listening environment and the loudness/loudness range adaptations are highlighted based on the results of nearly 100 participants.

No this is not a GOP commercial on how "Obamacare" will work. This is a preacher who convinces people that all that surgery stuff is for the unbelievers. A few bams and you are ready to rumba.
26 thoughts on "Who Needs Surgery? Bam, Bam, Bam, You Have A New Hip"
Benny Hanna not in attendancea….How can one be heeled…..
I hope they remembered to pass the basket first….
The whole place has apparently OD'd on cheese fries, which can cure anything.
Bam, Bam, Bam! It works miracles on food too!
I am sorry to correct you but only fried food can cure you and beer….In Texas this year one of the things that you can have fried is beer….so see…the Texas State Fair offers you everything for your health needs…..
I read an article about new "state fair" foods recently–and saw a picture of fried beer. Not something I care to try!
Perhaps we should be considering this for the new health system. It looks much cheaper than actually cutting someone open for surgery.
The fried frito pie looks good. I don't go to the fair though. My son is home for a wedding this weekend. Yesterday was his birthday and he wanted to go out for some "Texas food".
Elaine M.,
Then maybe you'd like to try the other delicacy offered such as Fried Frito Pie or maybe even Butter….You see you can fry anything…..then again if you go a little to the North East towards say….Tennessee….you can even get Bologna Fried up in a skillet….with grits and greens…. all topped off with red-eye gravy…..
Did not know you were back…hows the pooch…and what kinda Texas food this you indulge your son….glad he is safe from the fires…..guess he did not want anything smoked….
"Bam-bam-bam" combined with religious fervor and social affirmation leads to increased adrenaline production, which then metabolizes into dopamine, leading to a temporary increase of blood flow, muscle relaxation and moderate pain reduction.
I'd bet her hip felt like someone really had pounded on it with a hammer, once her chemical metabolism returned to its baseline.
AY Took son to Stephen Pyle's new restaurant where he had what he called a "bourgie" rendition of chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and greens. Last night he had tex mex. Had to get back to Dallas for son's visit. The pup requires a lot of attention.
Is this a wayward arm of the Christian Science Church?
I rarely eat deep-fried food–too greasy and heavy for my palate. I did like fried bologna when I was a kid.
F'ing charlatans & their f'ing BS. I wish someone would BAM! BAM! BAM! him
The fact is, charlatans thrive in the context of the church, be it traditional religion or within the confines of the Church of Modern Medicine. This particular ethical midget cons people via the collection basket, while at least 218 medical doctors have been sentenced for performing unwarranted surgeries alone, just over the past decade.
The National Practitioner Data Bank holds secret files on 237,000 "Questionable" or "Dangerous" real' doctors. So maybe you can tell me where the danger lies.
One physician not long ago was found to have performed 10,000 unneeded eye operations on poor people – collecting millions in Medicare reimbursements.
But did you hear any of that during the 'health care debate?'
Tenant Health Corporation, one of the largest hospital management companies, has paid out nearly 1/2 BILLION in the last 8 years, as a direct result of unwarranted HEART operations, by some of the most morally corrupt cardiologists on the planet.
Did you hear any of that during the health care babble?
While this egomaniac dabbles at medicine, physicians with legitimate licenses generate crime to the tune of 1/2 TRILLION per year.
America's version of "cure it with a pill" is a leading cause of death. Our health care model has deteriorated to the point of actually being 'disease care.'
After all, there's not a lot of money to be made in good health.
Just ask the faith healers.
Does the Lord grow penises too?
I knowed 'dat preachur looked famillar–hit is Bam Bam Bigelow!
More proof that people can get away with any sort of nonsense if they happen to be in the clergy. Can you imagine a doctor indulging in this kind of behavior and facing no consequences?
In times like this I remember my Diderot.

No, Jordan was the reason for the Bulls runs, but he was not the entire show.
You can make the argument with Pippen, until you look at the fact that Pippen's Bulls couldn't play playoff basketball, and when they did, Pippen got sad and sullen when Toni got the shot. Pippen is a top 50 player because Jordan showed him the way. Just another dead-beat dad without MJ.
Horace Grant was average, with silly goggles. Bill Cartwright was like a black Kurt Rambis. BJ Armstrong and the rest were just ok.
When the game was on the line, GAME 7, Jordan didn't shoot 6-24. And he had as many rebounds, more steals, and still took all the tough shots like Kobe.
Pippen is not in Shaq's league. In his prime, only Jordan stood out above the Big Diesel. Kobe was a 19 year old punk when he got his first ring... and was not a full-time starter, actually IIRC he was not a starter at all.
I am not saying Kobe is so-so. He is incredible!
He is no Michael Jordan.

We are using the Events Calendar on a site we manage, Clearwater Casino, and are trying to get Google Rich Snippets working properly.
After finding an old thread, it looks like you implemented Rich Snippet functionality in V2 of the plugin (we are running the most up-to-date version) but Google is still not pulling all of the information we need.
As an example, http://www.clearwatercasino.com/event/seafood-buffet-5/2013-03-01/ is one of our event pages and if it is ran through the Rich Snippet Tool, we get the following results: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.clearwatercasino.com%2Fevent%2Fseafood-buffet-5%2F2013-03-01%2F&html=
It seems quite a few fields are missing, notably the "entry-title" and "author". Do I need to investigate adding these things into the theme template, or am I missing something on where these should be entered inside the Entry posts?

It looks for references to Bible verses and passages within either the blog posts or comments and automatically links them to a reference site.

Being new to this, I'd love any feedback you have on the plugin or suggestions of other sites that should be included by default.

Removal of Long Pulses from Audio Signals Using Two-pass Split-window Filtering
This paper addresses the restoration of audio signals proceeding from old recordings, and focuses on long-pulse removal. We propose a new two-stage method to estimate the waveform of each long pulse from the observed noisy signal. First, an initial estimate for the pulse shape is obtained via a non-linear filtering scheme called two-pass splitting-window (TPSW) filtering. Then, this estimate is further smoothed through a piecewise polynomial fitting. The degree of smoothness of the estimate can be controlled by adjusting either the TPSW parameters or the length of the segments to be fitted. The proposed method has low computational complexity, it is not constrained by the assumption of shape similarity among pulse waveforms, and can be successfully applied for removing overlapping pulses.

We spent 5 days in this hotel over the Labor Day weekend. The staff at the front desk was basically pleasant but was not very knowledgeable of the Brooklyn area. The location of the hotel is not in the best of area but seems to be relatively safe. There is no tourist activity at this location and the area seems to be more industrial. The hotel has limited free parking but additional parking can be found available on the side street. The subway is 4 blocks away from the hotel that would require about a 10 - 15 minutes' walk. The rooms of the hotel are very small and the amenities were very limited to soap and shampoo. My wife was not able to get a shower cap at request. There was less than basic channels on the cable TV but the major network stations were available. There was a small fridge in the room but no micro wave oven. The water pressure in the shower was low but adequate. The tub did not drained properly but we waited to inform the hotel at check-out. There was no safe deposit box in the room. The Bright Side Breakfast was very limited and below par when compared to other LQ Inn I have stayed at.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- La Quinta Inn in Brooklyn is located just 5 blocks from a subway station with easy access to Brooklyn sites as well as Manhattan.

This comes after Science and Innovation Minister Steven Joyce
yesterday rejected a call to hold an inquiry after a motion
calling for one was approved at a meeting held by sheep
breeders in Gore on Wednesday.
Dunedin North Labour MP David Clark said Mr Joyce's rejection
was a ''slap in the face'' to people of the South and
In rejecting the motion, Mr Joyce was ignoring the
''substantial concerns'' about AgResearch's plan to slash
Invermay jobs.
Mr Joyce said it was ''not my intention to call for an
independent inquiry''.
''AgResearch is going through a process of further
consultation with its stakeholders and Wednesday's meeting
was part of that.
''I am sure the views of those who attended were heard and
will be properly considered,'' Mr Joyce said yesterday.
One of the challenges AgResearch faced was the level of
investment they received from the red-meat sector, he said.
''An increase in investment with AgResearch would help to
make the case for more investment at Invermay and
elsewhere,'' he said.
He rejected comments made at the meeting that the Government
was not providing enough funding for agricultural science.
''The primary sector has far and away the most money spent on
it by government.''
This comes as AgResearch continues to push ahead with its
Future Footprint Plan, announcing this week more than half of
the $100 million it planned to spend upgrading its facilities
would be spent at Lincoln.

Supreme Burger
Right after eating a burger at Dicks with my friend Rich Jensen, who got me going on about I Am Cuba, a film that changed my life in much the same way that the three thousand pages in Remembrance of Things Past changed my life when I was 23, I started thinking about A Love Supreme by Coltrane, a record that is constantly changing my life.
Just recently, after almost two decades of deep admiration for this magnificent work of musical art, I realized that it starts with a chinese gong. I have no idea why I didn't notice this until three or so days ago, and the realization changed (extended) my understanding of the whole project. "Acknowledgment," the opening and most famous track, starts with a chinese gong, an instrument that is rarely heard in the world of jazz, and it was the one and only time John Coltrane used it—this gong shimmers magically like a city appearing in the sky. It is the concept, the sun, the thing that makes everything what it is. And after the gong's sound diminishes, radiating out into the nothingness of space (drummer Elvin Jones is the one who strikes the gong), Coltrane blows a fanfare, an announcement, a call to all to come alive, to be born, to be reborn, to rise from either side of life, the void before and the void after existence. On the wings of the fanfare, we descend, angel-wise, spiraling through clouds, to earth and arrive at the ground, the human—the famous four note bass line performed by Jimmy Garrison. That four note bass line is the blues, simply and true. It is the basic block, the basic pulse of life, the human being—its life beat, its life blood. And so, in the 30 seconds that radiate from the majestic gong, the magical sun splash, the life stuff of stars, we go down, by way of Coltrane's fanfare, to the blues, the beat of human beings. I will stop here. I'm on fire.
Jensen, thanks for the burger.

Papandreou Welcomes Greek Opposition Support for Oct. 26 Accord
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou welcomed statements from the main opposition New Democracy party to support the Oct. 26 loan financing agreement for the country and said he would discuss the opposition's proposals for a transitional government.
Papandreou said Greece belonged in the euro and that a referendum would never have posed a question as to whether Greece should remain in the euro area. Papandreou commented to his ministers in Athens today, according to an e-mailed transcript of his statements.

Today, I thought it'd be funny to knee my sister's ass as she was bending over. What I didn't realise was that she was trying to pick up a spider. In shock, she threw it in the air and it landed on my chest. I ran into a wall trying to get it off. FML

Today, I was supposed to catch a ride with a friend and go to Warped Tour with her. She called at the last minute to say she was sick, so I told her we didn't have to go. I just got a text saying she just got pictures and autographs with the band I especially wanted to see. FML

Today, my constant bragging to friends caught up with me, and everyone believes I'm a swinger. Because of this, no girl wants to go out with me, in case they become just another notch under my belt. The truth is, I'm still a virgin. FML

Today, my boss fired me for dating a co-worker. There's no policy forbidding it; he just thought it was unfair that I could get with the "hottest girl who works here" but he can't. I live in an at-will employment state. FML
