The Silksworth Sports Complex lies immediately to the east of the A690 Durham to Sunderland Road, approximately three miles south west of Sunderland City Centre. The Complex covers the former Silksworth Colliery site, formerly a vast area of dereliction, comprising huge shale heaps, which continued to burn, disused and derelict colliery buildings and partially flooded areas of land. The transformation, which took place, is acknowledged to be a remarkable example of both Local Government Initiative and Central Government backing. The Silksworth Sports Complex has developed over the last twenty years, covering a 167 acre site.
Silksworth has three ski slopes, the 165 metre main slope is serviced by two tows and offers year round recreational skiing and snowboarding, as well as tuition courses for all age groups and abilities. We have two nursery slopes available for skiing and snowboarding tuition. All teaching and coaching is carried out by City of Sunderland Qualified Instructors. Tuition is also available right throughout the summer. Look out for discounted programmes that run during the school holidays. You can hire the slope for a birthday party.

Six Months of Paleo and Still Tweaking
February 23, 2012 in Categories: Success Stories by ThePaleoMom
One of the things I love most about paleolithicnutrition is that it's not a one-size-fits-all diet. There are as many ways to implement paleolithic nutrition as there are people. You can choose foods that you like; you can be more or less strict with gray-area foods depending on health issues; you can eat more carbohydrates orfewer depending on your fitness level and individual chemistry; you can eat paleo to lose weight; you can eat paleo to put on muscle; you can even eat paleo while also eating vegetarian. I still feel like I'm tweaking my own implementation of paleolithic nutrition to completely address my own health challenges. But, I do feel like I am finally honing in on what my body needs (and can handle).
If you read my New Year's Resolutions post, you know that I have been following the autoimmunity protocol, which means no nuts and seeds, no eggs, no caffeine,no alcohol, and no nightshades. I am doing this because I am still struggling with a skin condition called lichen planus (a form of psoriasis). I realize that while this is an autoimmune condition, it's also a hallmark of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and Gut-Brain Connection problems. So, I have changed a few things in my nutrition/health approach.
First, I am drinking coffee again. I went 25 days without but my digestion got so sluggish without the stimulant effect of coffee that I was worried I was doing more harm than good. I had Irritable Bowel Syndrome for 12 years and likely have some nerve damage as a result. Coffee seems to be an important peristaltic stimulator for me (I'm trying to keep this dinner conversation level, folks!). I am drinking about one third of the caffeine that I was before New Year's, and it seems like a good dose for me (low enough to not mess with cortisol, high enough to have the desired effects on my digestion). I missed coffee dreadfully, so I am very, very happy to have it back in my life (whipped with some grass-fed butter and extra virgin coconut oil—so yummy!). I have also allowed myself some egg yolk (since the whites are the problem, not the yolk), and macadamia nuts (since they are low in phytates and in polyunsaturated fats).
Second, I have a new focus on digestion. I have started consuming 2 Tbsp of raw apple cider vinegar 10-15 minutes before my meals. I am constantly reminding myself to chew my food thoroughly. I am consuming a lot of ginger too (mostly hot ginger tea and homemade ginger kombucha). I am a fermenting addict and now make my own sauerkraut, kombucha and coconut milk kefir. I am also keeping starches extremely low (and other sugars fairly low as well).
Third, I am playing with intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is where you don't eat for 16-24 hours (its mostly important not to consume carbohydrates or protein) and this is also very customizable (how long, how often, how randomly, what you break your fast with, whether or not you consume fat during fast…). I have chosen to skip breakfast but still have my two coffees with grass-fed butter and coconut oil (one when I get up in the morning and another a couple of hours later). Normally, you aren't supposed to fast if sleep or stress management aren't perfect. But I have found (in only a week playing with this) that I am sleeping better, feeling better and my mood is way, way better (well, I was a grumpy pants one day but my kids aren't sleeping well and have been extra moody lately). Also, I have seen faster improvement to my lichen planus in the last week than I did in the month and a half prior. My plan is to try this maybe a couple of times each week, on random days, but generally on days when I don't seem very hungry in the morning anyway (if you fast too often, it just becomes the way you eat, your body adapts and you don't get the same benefits).
The point of this post is to tell you two things. First of all, my stricter version of paleo is working to address my health issues and this makes me VERY happy. Second, a paleo diet is about lifelong health. You can keep tweaking your own implementation of paleo until you have addressed your own health issues and achieved your goals. You can further tweak your own implementation of paleo to stay there once you get there. And I think that's awesome.

So what about the resistor color code?
...or for those who are in the UK or other parts of the civilized (civilised) world, colour code :-)
Well...there are some really stupid mnemonics you can memorize...bad boys...our young girls...etc, or bad beer...blah, blah... or you can just do yourself a huge favor and memorize them.
Nobody, (especially if they are paying you by the hour) is going to think it's cute to hear you recite the poems every time you need a part from the bin. (Other components use color codes as well.)
Besides, it takes too long to go through the whole thing EVERY time you look at a color (3 or more bands.) So just start by writing it down...black is 0, Brown is 1, etc...that's 2 inputs to your brain (seeing and thinking to write it).
Then read it back aloud. This will give you 3 more inputs, seeing (again), saying it and hearing it. Also, do it the other way around, 2 is red, 3 is orange, etc.
Trust me. In no time you'll know them and people won't look at you like you're a 5-year-old who has to sing the "ABC" song to learn the alphabet.
Here is a chart of the resistor color code:
What has been left out here (or at least it isn't obvious from the chart) is that on the 4 band type, (3 colors for the value and 1 for the tolerance), the third band is the number of zeroes. Most of what you will see will be the 4 band type.
Also, the blue colored resistors are made of a fire-resistant material. These are often found in automotive circuits.
For instance:
red (2)-red (2)-black (0) = 22 ohms
yellow (4)-violet (7)-orange (3)= 47,000 ohms, written as 47k, or in the UK, 4k7.
I buy most of my electronics parts from JAMECO Electronics (I also buy from Digikey, and Mouser, but I don't have the links to paste in yet) Jameco is geographically close (a few hundred miles) and my UPS orders always arrive the next business day without having to pay for next-day service.
They ship the same day if you order before noon Pacific time. Click the picture below or the link above and it will open in a new window so you don't have to leave my site to buy your parts.

demos is a pain in the ass

I surf with a machine gun and machete for the little punks!
i usually just yell hey with a very loud deep stern voice which startles everyone. works well
as much as I hate longboards, that looked like a very small/mushy longboard only wave to me. imo, shortboards shouldn't have even been out there, so he kinda deserved a reprimand of some sort for both shortboarding such a **** wave and dropping in on u.
I heard you yell, but it looks like you could've also gone around him. Afterward, verbally reprimanded him while splashing water in his face might've done the same as a tackle...then, if he insisted on still f*king with you, move on to the next step

hey Mfitz73 i burn kooks like you all the time. i dont care if someone is having the best ride of their life..if i see a wave i want im on it regardless. and i wish some wimp like you would try to vibe me cause id put you in your place like i do all the others
Oct 9, 2012, 03:52 AM #57
Fitzy, I watched your vid and I gotta ask you one question, have you ever broken a collar bone? I've broken both mine, the left one twice. How's about torn your shoulder? I haven't thank G-d, cause that usually puts you out of the water for 6 months to a year. I spent New Year' eve in the ER (old martial arts injury, torn meniscus, knotted itself up while i was duck diving) and didn't get back in the water until mid-February and then I was belly riding for the next four weeks, limiting myself to one or two, maybe 3 pop ups a days cause of knee surgery. Back in '03 I spent the summer paddling on a cracked rib cause some clown dropped in on me at Crystal Pier. What if you'd gotten hurt doing something, which whether justified or not, was kind of dumb? Would it have been worth it? Screw the kid right now, he was in the wrong n that's obvious. What if right now you were trying to explain to the Mrs that the trip to the emergency room and the reason you wouldn't be raking any leaves was cause some punk cut you off in the line up and it was time to teach him a lesson?
Me, I would've pivoted hard off that back fin right under that dude then up on the face and given him a shower. Laughing the whole time.
Iget pretty beat up surfing. I beat the crap out of my boards, I treat my body the same way. Fast as I can go and foch pulling out. Surfing is dangerous. So's football. I've gotten pretty badly hurt playing both. Why try to combine the two? When I'm surfing, if it doesn't involve riding a wave, at which point I have 0 concern for my physical safety, I try to minimize risk. Next time just crouch low and push him off the wave, way more embarrassing.
Kooks abound, dudes abide.
Funny Video!!! lol happy you caught it on your gopro, i hope the kid sees it- hopefully he learned his lesson... mfitz- good move lol and its good no one got hurt... like everyone is raving about... in reality- IF YOUR GOING TO DROP IN ON SOMEONE- your HIGHER your own chances of getting hurt by colliding- thats one of the main reasons why you don't do it- your putting yourself and others at danger. Specially like this- when its not an accidental drop in. If you don't understand that, you will learn the hard way- one time youll drop in on someone and end up with a skeg down the back of your leg...

Doesn't pay to get upset over a 2' wave, if the kid keeps doing it well that's another kettel of fish.
And it's never a good idea to film it just in case the cops get involved, that way it's just a case of he said grom said.
So yes you were wrong.

Update from Friday's practice in Nashville: The Red Wings will use the same lineup they've had the last few games, as Chris Chelios and Derek Meech are healthy scratches. Coach Mike Babcock said he hadn't decided if Chris Osgood will start in goal Saturday in Colorado or whether Ty Conklin would start on consecutive nights.
Osgood, after a two-day break, practiced for the second time, his fourth time on the ice after straining his groin on Dec. 15. He said he would be ready to play Saturday if called upon.
"I feel pretty good,'' Osgood said. "The rest did me good, I feel sharp out there. Every little nick I had before is gone.''

Sensation and Perception 8ed., Goldstein. These vocabulary words are copied and pasted directly from the book's website.
2-deoxyglucose technique
A procedure that involves injecting a radioactive 2-deoxyglucose (2DG) molecule into an animal and exposing the animal to oriented stimuli. The 2DG is taken up by neurons that respond to the orientation. This procedure is used to visualize orientation columns in the cortex.
across-fiber patterns
The pattern of firing that a stimulus causes across a number of neurons. This is the same thing as distributed coding.
A subcortical structure that is involved in emotional responding and in processing olfactory signals.
calcium imaging
A method of measuring receptor activity by using fluorescence to measure the concentration of calcium inside the receptor. This technique has been used to measure the activation of olfactory receptor neurons.
detection threshold
The minimum amount of energy that can be detected. The detection threshold for smell is the lowest concentration at which an odorant can be detected. This threshold is distinguished from the recognition threshold, which requires a higher concentration of odorant.
frontal operculum cortex
An area in the frontal lobe of the cortex that receives signals from the taste system.
Small structures in the olfactory bulb that receive signals from similar olfactory receptor neurons. One function of each glomerulus is to collect information about a small group of odorants.
menstrual synchrony
Women who live together experience menstrual periods that begin at approximately the same time. There is evidence that the sense of smell is involved in determining this effect.
Having a weak sense of smell. This usually occurs in animals like humans, in which the sense of smell is not crucial for survival.
The cycle of birth, development, and death of a neuron. This process occurs for the receptors for olfaction and taste.
nucleus of the solitary tract
The nucleus in the brain stem that receives signals from the tongue, the mouth, and the larynx transmitted by the chorda tympani, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves.
olfactory bulb
The structure that receives signals directly from the olfactory receptors. The olfactory bulb contains glomeruli, which receive these signals from the receptors.
olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs)
Sensory neurons located in the olfactory mucosa that contain the olfactory receptors.
optical imaging
A technique to measure the activity of large areas of the cortex by measuring the intensity of red light reflected from the cortex.
orbitofrontal cortex (OFC)
An area in the frontal lobe, near the eyes, that receives signals originating in the olfactory receptors. Also known as the secondary olfactory cortex.
Ridges and valleys on the tongue, some of which contain taste buds. There are four types of papillae: filiform, fungiform, foliate, and circumvallate.
Chemical signal released by an individual that affects the physiology and behavior of other individuals.
piriform cortex (PC)
An area under the temporal lobe that receives signals from glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. Also called the primary olfactory cortex.
primary olfactory cortex
A small area under the temporal lobe that receives signals from glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. Also called the piriform cortex.
receptor site
Small area on the postsynaptic neuron that is sensitive to specific neurotransmitters.
recognition profile
The pattern of activation of olfactory receptors caused by a particular odorant.
recognition threshold
For smell, the concentration at which the quality of an odor can be recognized.
retronasal route
The opening from the oral cavity, through the nasal pharnyx, into the nasal cavity. This route is the basis for the way smell combines with taste to create flavor.
secondary olfactory cortex
An area in the frontal lobe, near the eyes, that receives signals originating in the olfactory receptors. Also known as the orbitofrontal cortex.
A person who is especially sensitive to 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP), a bitter substance.
taste cell
Cell located in taste buds that causes the transduction of chemical to electrical energy when chemicals contact receptor sites or channels located at the tip of this cell.
taste pore
An opening in the taste bud through which the tips of taste cells protrude. When chemicals enter a taste pore, they stimulate the taste cells and result in transduction.

The use of the bath was very frequent among the Hebrews (Lev. 14:8; Num. 19:19, ect.). The high priest at his inauguration (Lev. 8:6), and on the day of atonement, was required to bathe himself (16:4, 24). The "pools" mentioned in Neh. 3:15, 16, 2 Kings 20:20, Isa. 22:11, John 9:7, were public bathing-places.

At a gathering Tuesday night at St. Peter Claver Catholic Church, New Orleans police and City Council members agreed to help residents battle drug dealers and improve the process for granting permits to sell alcoholic drinks.
At the meeting organized by the Moving in Courage and Hope Project, 1st District Commander Robert Norton agreed to support the development of a comprehensive plan to eliminate drug hot spots in the district that includes Treme, Mid-City, the Superdome and the New Orleans Arena.
Norton also encouraged more than 350 people at the church to attend once-a-month meetings to review crime data in the 1st District.
City Counci members Kristen Gisleson Palmer and Susan Guidry were each applauded when they discussed efforts to curb the number of businesses that sell alcoholic drinks and improve the permit-issuing process.
One resident complained that a bar was allowed to open within one block of a school and a church.
Palmer and Guidry championed plans designed to improve the process for notifying residents when a business is seeking a permit to sell alcoholic drinks.
The crowd applauded when Palmer shared her desire to not allow businesses that sell alcohol to expand on Broad Street. And Guidry was cheered when she discussed planned changes that should prevent bars from "sneaking through."
The Moving in Courage and Hope Project is a faith-based organization of 15 congregations in the New Orleans area. The organization develops leadership skills to empower citizens to organize their communities and find solutions to problems.

Mr. David Asher, MIT Japan Program
March 29, 2000
How closely is Japan today repeating the economic performance and policy errors of the 1920s? That era was the previous one in which Japan systematically attempt to open to the outside world. Today, after a decade of decay, Japan's economy remains mired in stagnation. This was also the case at the end of the twenties. Similarly, democratizing reforms and financial crises characterized both periods. By further investigating the similarities in the economic situations between the periods, we can better understand the possible implications for Japan's grand strategy in the future.
Today, the economic situation in Japan can be characterized as suffering under the five "Ds": debt, deflation, default, demography, and deregulation. Regarding the first of these, Japan today is on the cusp of a debt crisis of the scope the world has not seen. Currently, Japan's government held debt is fifteen times larger than its tax revenues. This ratio is twice as high as the next highest historical record, Britain following world war two. Furthermore, Tokyo's annual interest payments account for some 65 percent of its annual tax revenues, leaving very little for financial stimulus. Rather than facing a liquidity trap, Japan today faces a debt trap. There are only two possible solutions to this. First, Japan might rely on expansionary monetary policy to inflate its way out of the current problem. This would have tremendous effects on social stability. Alternatively, Tokyo might choose to implement IMF style orthodox economic reforms, involving large scale writing off of assets. This too would have substantial costs, necessitating deep changes in the economic system that produced the miracle of Japan's post-war growth.
The second "D" of default manifests itself in a bankruptcy rate that accounted for three percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 1997 and 1998. This rate is higher than ever seen in an OECD economy. As firms exercise their exit options, the unemployment rate has risen to post-War highs, and the number of businesses eliminated per year now exceeds the number created.
Deflation has been a third characteristic of Japan's current recession. More than a decade after the bursting of the Japanese bubble, asset prices continue to spiral downward. The decline in land prices accelerated to 4.4 percent last year, an even steeper decline than the prior year. Deflationary pressure is likely to continue as a result of deregulation, which reduces the cost of many consumer goods (however, at least this has some positive impact given that consumer spending in deregulated sectors has been somewhat responsive to such price changes). As deflation continues, pressure on the corporate sector is likely to increase as much of their debt relies on land for collateral --land that was valued at the peak of the bubble economy.
Demography presents the fourth key challenge to the Japanese economy. Japan is entering a profound aging crisis. By 2002, its working age population will be decreasing by 2 percent a year. Attempts to address this concern through increasing the worker participation rate are unlikely to help substantially as the unemployment rates in the youngest and oldest age brackets (the usual targets for programs to increase the size of the workforce) are among the highest in Japan. Finally, the social security system in Japan, which has been running a deficit since the mid-seventies, will soon face accelerating difficulties. By 2005, its liabilities are expected to exceed income by nearly 13 percent. In the context of the worsening fiscal position of the central government, it is unclear how the shortfall will be funded.
The fifth "D" of deregulation presents short-term dangers while holding promise in the long term. Capital productivity remains problematic. Japan still invests a third more than the US does, and its investment levels remain fifty percent higher than the OECD average. While such high rates would be worthy of emulation if they led to higher growth, today there are reasons to question the productivity in Japanese investment: Japan's returns on investment are only half as large as those of the US. Deregulation is the only solution to such unproductive economic activity.
These five "Ds" describe an economy in crisis. But is Japan repeating itself? In each of the five above areas, the current Japanese experience eerily parallels that of eighty years ago. (Debt is somewhat anomalous, as in the 1920s government debt rates were not so high.) Furthermore, both today and at the beginning of the century, we see a decline in the power of the traditional ruling oligarchs. Both then and now huge economic problems compel the nation to open itself up to external investment. Both then and now recent democratic reforms constrain the government's ability to effectively implement adjustment policies. Both then and now reactionary forces have raised voices in protest of the economic deprivations. Both then and now the policy response to the economic crisis can be characterized as weak and ineffective. In both periods it has relied on fiscal and monetary stimulus, propping up a failing banking sector, mismanagement of currency relations, and dependence on gaiatsu for stimulus for reform.
Looking forward, we might imagine three possible scenarios that could characterize Tokyo's attempts to respond to this crisis. First might be a continuation of repeating of the Taisho experience. This would consist of half-baked reform plans, continued stagnation, a continued outward migration of business opportunities, and a withering (although not abrogation) of the US-Japan alliance. A second scenario might be characterized as a repeat of the Tory Renaissance period. This would posit a sea change in views within Japan. It would include aggressive restructuring of the economy, a massive inflow of foreign capital, and a true opening of the Japanese economy. In this scenario, the US-Japan alliance would become even stronger, as befits a "normal" Japan. A final scenario might have Japan play the role of a modern day Weimar Germany. Political inaction and a reliance on magic bullets such as monetary expansion could spark runaway inflation, capital flight, economic implosion, and the rise of reactionary movements at home. Such a scenario would have profound dangers for East Asia. A Weimar Japan, while not returning to its imperialist policies of the past, might still provoke arms races in Asia. If Japan turns inward and isolationist, it may feel a need to increase its military and operationalize its latent nuclear potential. Such action on its part would inevitably worry its neighbors.
None of these scenarios is guaranteed to come to pass. Notionally, we might assign probabilities to each: continuation of the Taisho experience, 50 percent; a turn to the Tory Renaissance, 25 percent; and a decline toward Weimar outcomes, 25 percent. While Japan today has more robust democratic institutions and stronger civilian control of the military today than it did eighty years ago, the prospects of the final scenario coming to pass bear watching.

How to stand out in the world of reggae/rap? If you're Matisyahu, simply being yourself — specifically, a heavily bearded, practicing Hasidic Jew — is enough.
Matisyahu broke onto the jam band scene in the mid-2000s as, clearly, something different. His website, in addition to the usual "tour" and "store" tabs, contains a section on "meditations."
His take on reggae is not so much about laid-back island riddums as it is uptempo romps propelled by stout drumming and electric guitars, a la Sublime; his vocals sometimes veer into dancehall reggae-style toasting, minus the R-rated content.
He scored his first hit with the live version of "King Without a Crown"; more recently, NBC featured his "One Day" during the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Matisyahu and his band are on the road promoting "Live at Stubb's Vol II," a CD/DVD package recorded at the famed Austin, Texas, venue as the follow-up to his original "Live at Stubb's," released in 2005.
His tour — no shows on Fridays, the Jewish Sabbath — stops at the House of Blues on Sunday, Aug. 21. Trevor Hall opens. Show time is 8 p.m. Tickets are $26.50 plus service charges.

Syracuse, NY – Manlius lawyer Michael Marmor was sentenced today to 1 1/3 to four years in state prison for stealing more than $750,000 from clients and cheating on his state taxes by failing to report the extra income.
Dressed in jail clothing, Marmor told Onondaga County Judge Joseph Fahey there were no words to adequately express his apology for what he had done.
"I will spend the rest of my life trying to repair the damage I have caused," he said.
Marmor, 54, of Blarney Stone Way, pleaded guilty last month to second-degree grand larceny, first-degree scheme to defraud and filing a false or fraudulent tax return.
He could have faced up to 15 years in prison. Senior Assistant District Attorney Robert DeMarco today asked Fahey to sentence Marmor to at least three to nine years.
Authorities contend Marmor stole more than $350,000 from a client's estate after he had been suspended from practicing law in May 2009. Authorities contend he stole more than $300,000 from other clients prior to that suspension.
Defense lawyer Thomas Miller today said Marmor had encountered a "cash-flow crisis" and had turned to private investment companies to borrow money at exorbitant rates of interest.
"He got in way over his head," Miller said.
Miller said Marmor has lost his license to practice law, his marriage of about 30 years and his home as a result of his conduct. But Miller said the Jewish Technical Vocational School in Brooklyn has offered Marmor a teaching job so he can start his life over.
Marmor has spent the last 16 months in the Justice Center Jail, where he has developed a reputation for teaching other inmates to prepare for their GED tests, Miller said.
"Mike, I don't know what you were thinking," Fahey said, adding he remains baffled by Marmor's motivation.
The state Lawyer's Fund has made full restitution to Marmor's victims but Marmor will be required to pay back the fund $487,594. He also is required to pay Alliance Bank $268,184.81 for money it paid to the Lawyer's Fund to cover some of the victim losses. He will be required to pay $114,668 to cover the liability for his false tax returns.

his Up+B has been greatly upgraded since melee, but his standard B is pretty much useless. he's a bit slower, but this game seems overall slower than melee. his counterattack is genius, and his Side+B combinations give him an extra edge.

In emerging as one of the league's best safeties those two years, Rhodes had a combined nine interceptions, seven sacks, five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
But Rhodes has lost his way the past two seasons, the struggles expected to go away when Ryan came along and turn Rhodes into the next Ed Reed, the Ravens' perennial Pro Bowl safety, remain. It all came crashing down on Tuesday night when Ryan informed Rhodes he was being benched. He'll play in only nickel and dime packages today against the Carolina Panthers at Giants Stadium, and his Jets career may be nearing an end.
The not-that-long-ago rising star has fallen.
Rhodes, 27, is having his worst season as a pro. He has no interceptions, no sacks, no forced fumbles and no fumble recoveries — the worst type of stats for someone who is supposed to be a play-making safety.
The reasons for his struggles range from how he has alienated teammates, to his fledgling model and acting pursuits, to his early success being a mirage, to his lack of aggression, to his obsession with Twitter.
After hosting film study sessions at his home on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights for the secondary the past two seasons, Rhodes discontinued the home movies this season. He and cornerback Darrelle Revis, once close, are now lukewarm friends, in part, because Revis' career has eclipsed Rhodes'.
"I think for a guy as talented as Kerry, maybe this will serve as a wake-up call," said ex-Giants linebacker Carl Banks, who has been a harsh critic of Rhodes. "I'm a fan of Kerry's, and it's disappointing to see him underachieve. You question what happened to the guy, especially when he's in a defense tailor-made for a guy with his ability."
During last Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Patriots, Rhodes was bulldozed by Patriots running back Laurence Maroney. He shied away from contact on a couple of plays over the middle, including one glaring play involving diminutive slot receiver Wes Welker.
For Ryan, that was enough. Asked about Rhodes' play against the Patriots, Ryan said, "Sure, you want to (see Rhodes) knock the hell out of somebody."
Unfortunately for Rhodes, he has made his biggest impact with his words this season. He made national headlines when he said he just didn't want the Jets to beat Tom Brady and the Patriots in Week 2, he wanted to "embarrass" them.
After the Jets' 16-9 victory, nose tackle Kris Jenkins said Rhodes needed to tone it down. Rhodes admitted he got lost in the moment.
"He's been chirping a lot and not playing very well," said one teammate, who requested anonymity so as to not be seen as taking part in locker-room backbiting. "I think this (his benching) is the best thing to happen to him. He needs to get hungry again."
The 6-3, 214-pound Rhodes has started every one of the 74 games the Jets have played since making him a fourth-round pick out of Louisville in 2005. The following year under new coach Eric Mangini, Rhodes exploded on the scene with five sacks, four interceptions, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. In Mangini's 3-4 scheme, Rhodes often came completely free on blitzes and recorded two strip-sacks. He was a ballhawking safety.
"I remember him making all those plays and hearing his name a lot," said CBS analyst and ex-Giant Phil Simms.
Handsome, articulate and quick to smile, the likeable Rhodes became a media darling. He just missed a berth in the Pro Bowl in 2006 and 2007 and was mentioned along with Bob Sanders (Colts), Troy Polamalu (Steelers) and Reed (Ravens) as the best safeties in the game. The Jets rewarded him with a five-year, $33.5 million contract extension in April 2008.
Off the field, Rhodes traveled with an entourage, complete with a personal assistant, tailor and barber. He dabbled in acting with bit parts in two movies, shot magazine covers, had his home featured on MTV cribs and generally cashed in on his newfound celebrity.
Quietly, however, some of his teammates thought Rhodes was more a media creation than an elite player.
"I never thought Kerry was as good as the perception," said another teammate who requested his name not be used. "I always felt the `big plays' he made was because of teams unfamiliarity with him. The Jets made him the face of the franchise on defense and I'm not sure he deserved it."
Banks disagrees.
"He's the complete package," he said. "He's athletic, rangy and a tough guy. Then, he gets in a system where he can take it to the next level, and he hasn't performed."
Rhodes, who just last week lobbied for Pro Bowl votes on Twitter, attributes that to not being completely comfortable with Ryan's defense. Also, he says opponents don't challenge him and he doesn't want to force anything in an effort to make a play.
Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine said the organization still sees Rhodes as a "Pro Bowl-caliber safety" and his benching was a "cumulative effect" of his play and the improved play of Eric Smith, who'll replace Rhodes in base packages.
Damage control?
"If the Jets are making this move, (Rhodes) is just not playing aggressive enough," Simms said. "In a Rex Ryan defense, you have to be extremely involved. When you watch a Ravens' game, if you don't hear Ed Reed's name, it's a bad sign. You can't play it safe. You have to play almost out of control but not make mistakes."
Ryan insists he still likes Rhodes and is "banking" on him responding in a positive way.
As for his off-the-field endeavors, Rhodes says perception isn't reality and he hasn't done much this season. He has shot only one commercial, with a local men's store, and limits what little else he does to Tuesday, his off day.
"I have to think of my career outside of football," Rhodes said. "Football isn't forever. If I was one of those guys who didn't do anything to further my career after football, you would say, 'That guy is stupid.'"
Football, however, is what has made Rhodes the celebrity he is.
"Kerry needs to understand that New York is full of pretty boys and he's not going to make near the money modeling that he'll make playing football," Banks said.
"... If you're dominant on the field, the rest will take care of itself."

"We have to show the young generation to think for themselves"
Amilcar Cabral is a symbol and unfortunately we don't have many of those in Africa, said Mr Amadou Mahtar Mbow, former Director-General of UNESCO.
He spoke at the launch of an international campaign for the collection of objects and documents relating to Amilcar Cabral, one of Africa's revolutionary leaders.
The launch took place during a press conference held at UNESCO's Regional Office in Dakar on 14 May 2013.
Mr Mbow emphasized the significant role of the campaign in the preservation of symbols of African history and heritage.
Amilcar Cabral, born in 1924, was the leader of the movement which fought for the independence of Guinea Bissau and the Cape Verdean islands. He was assassinated in 1973, a few months before Guinea Bissau became independent
"Amilcar Cabral always said that you have to think for yourself, which means to eliminate cultural and intellectual alienations. But we in Africa look for external models and are concerned about what others think about us," Mr. Mbow said. "We have to show the young generation to think for themselves. We tried, Cabral and others in my generation, to assume our historic responsibility, now it's up to the young generation to assume their historic responsibility," he added.
An appeal to all
Mr Mbow launched an appeal to everyone in Senegal as well as in Guinea- Bissau, Cape Verde, Portugal and other places, who may have documentation relating to Amilcar Cabral, whether newspaper articles, photos or objects, to collect and bring them to light so they may be restored.
Amilcar Cabral's home and birthplace in Bafata, Guinea-Bissau was recently refurbished as part of the UNESCO led campaign to increase the visibility and understanding of Africa's 'Che Guevara' worldwide. In January 2013, the house was inaugurated as a museum by the President of the Guinea Bissau, his Excellency Mr. Serifo Nhamadjo.
The museum is intended to house a documentation centre, as archives currently in a dilapidated state have already been discovered.
The history of Cabral's life
"Let's make Batafa a museum and documentation centre on Amicar Cabral, on the independence movement in Africa, and also on what the future of Africa could be - a continent where people live in peace, fraternity and progress, and in which everyone will find their place," Mr Mbow said.
UNESCO's former Director-General presented the history of Cabral's life and contribution to postcolonial liberation movements, complete with his own memories of meeting and working with Cabral in the 1960s.
The press conference also included a presentation on the restoration of the Cabral's home as a museum, plans for the documentation centre and museum as well as other awareness raising activities. A video of Cabral speaking of his dreams for sovereignty and independence was also screened.

Overall we are in great shape for State Fair weather this afternoon.
It will be warm, and it will be humid, but the combination of warm and dry air thousands of feet above us should keep afternoon and evening thunderstorms across Central New York down to a minimum.
Even Wednesday looks the same. The temperature and the humidity will both be up but we will be missing a lot of the ingredients in the upper atmosphere for anything more than an isolated thunderstorm.
Stop by and say hi at the Fair from to 1 - 3 p.m. Meet Dave Eichorn, Sean Kirst & Bud Poliquin. The Syracuse Media Group tent is just to the right of the main entrance after you enter the fairgrounds.
The week ahead:
Thursday looks similar but with less moisture in the air. It should be a bright and warm day.
Friday might produce and afternoon shower, but it you are looking for real rain, it may not occur until at least Monday.
Your forecast:
Today: Brightening skies this afternoon. It's going to be warm and a little humid. The high today will be around 85 degrees. If a shower does develop, it will be very isolated.
This evening, 6 pm to midnight: Partly cloudy, mild and humid. Temperatures cooling through the 70s.
Overnight: Some fog by sunrise. Low in the upper 60s.
Wednesday: Sun and clouds. Warm and humid. There is a slight chance for an afternoon or evening thundershower, but the chances for rain are pretty slim. High again around 84.
Thursday: Sun and clouds. High in the lower 80s.
Friday through Sunday: Most of the weekend coming up looks dry. We may see the clouds thicken Sunday in advance of some thundershowers for Monday, Labor Day.
Temperatures over the weekend will be in the lower 80s.

New rendition of defeated proposition
No matter how you vote, if it isn't the "politician's" way, they will just offer it again ... until the "no-voters" get enough sense to know they were stupid to not know the right way to vote ... "Yes!"
They really must believe the voters are stupid to be expecting them to accept a new rendition of the offer! The conflicts over cost, maintenance, etc., are further proof that these "No's" were not stupid ... no matter what they think of them.
I really enjoy reading the deals they can work out by other sources of funds ... if they lose again.
Please, voters, don't let them scare you into a "Yes" vote.

Henry Poole Could be Here…But Isn't
Faith vs. Reason: A Topic Too Large to be Conquered
Right from its opening scenes, one can easily predict that Henry Poole is Here is one of those movies that can't function without cheesy moments. What isn't exactly clear, however, is how much the film drips with it. Luke Wilson stars as Henry Poole, a disillusioned man whose life's worth is heavily shadowed by disappointment and despair. Escaping to suburbia to isolate himself from the world, he quickly realizes that the human interaction he is trying to avoid lingers at every corner, through prodding neighbors like Esperanza (Adriana Barraza, whose Spanish accent comes off as forced and unconvincing) or the teenage grocery clerk named Patience (Rachel Seiferth), whose cache of worldly wisdom doesn't quite seem to fit her age.
The plot thickens when Esperanza discovers a water stain on Henry's wall, which she quickly discerns as "the face of God." She contacts the local priest (George Lopez), converts the wall into a shrine and invites neighbors to visit the apparition. This proves to be too much for Henry, who desperately yearns just to be left alone.
But curiosity develops after Henry encounters his neighbor Dawn (Radha Mitchell), a young, attractive woman who isn't quite as intrusive like everyone else. Attracted to her unassuming and welcoming persona, Henry's façade melts as he starts to open his heart to her. And after Dawn's own daughter experiences a miraculous encounter with the wall, Henry also starts to question the possibility of something that could exist beyond what he sees.
Henry Poole examines the idea of miracles, a concept that is very easily pushed aside or satirized nowadays. The film's characters react with doubt, like the rationally driven Henry, and with faith, like the fiercely steadfast Esperanza. Then there are other characters like Dawn, who don't necessarily take a stand for or against the possibilities. The film deserves credit for bringing up a topic that possesses potential to uncover too-often dismissed ideas and spark discussion.
But rather than taking flight, these well-intentioned ideas never leave the ground. Instead, we're presented with an onslaught of cloying cheesiness, from a spew of allegorical personification through characters like the zealous Esperanza or annoyingly persistent Patience, to an overabundance of clichéd lines and a soundtrack that's too serious for the film's acting. In all, it comes off as overdone and dragged out, too long to sit through despite being only 100 minutes. Although this film may fare well for religious group discussion, it's safe to say that Henry Poole is Here is easily dismissible.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI. – They are the 15 who are the royalty of the Fifth Third River Bank Run. For 34 years they have survived rain, snow, cold, heat and humidity, course changes, name changes and anything else that could be thrown at them, and never miss a race.
The number will shrink by one next year. Jack Kroeze of Twin Lake said this Saturday is it.
The rest of the gang: See the list and read comments from all 15
"I'm going to retire after this one," said Kroeze, 74. "I know my wife (Ruth), she's heard that story so many times, but it's about time. When you have train for a 15-mile race, that takes a lot out of you."
Related: Full River Bank Run coverage
Weather forecast: How's it looking for Saturday?
Kroeze is the oldest of the remaining ironmen of the race. If it is his finale, he promises to go out in glory, or old glory. Since the late 1990s, he has worn a red, white and blue USA jersey "because I'm patriotic," he said.
"I only wear it once a year," Kroeze said. "I get chants of "USA, USA." It was amazing right after 9/11. I was high-fiving people along the course because of my shirt."
Kroeze has come a long way since 1978, when he entered the race as training for a hunting trip in Wyoming. He had been warned about hunting in high altitude and figured the race would help him prepare.
"I ran a quarter-mile the first time and thought I was going to die," he said of his first training race.
He trained well enough to finish the race, and then shot a trophy deer in Wyoming.
Since, "it just evolved after that," he said. Kroeze estimated he has done more than 500 races, including eight to 10 last year.
And this year?
"Well, I still love it," said Kroeze, who still plans another year of eight to 10 races, including duathlons (run-bike-run).
But no more River Bank Run?
"Yeah," Kroeze said. "Everyone says no, but I think this is it."

With graffiti, breaking the monotonous grayness of urban life is also, most times, breaking the law. Some languages even have two distinct terms for street art. In Portuguese, for example, "graffiti" is used for legal, artistic, and what tends to be seen as more valid pieces; the second term "pixação," derived from the Latin pissare, to piss, is used for the widely illegible, signature-like tags. Basically, art and "pissings" compete for space on the streets of São Paulo.
The English language instead groups these distinct modalities of expression into one umbrella term---graffiti. Perhaps for the best, though---graffiti is graffiti, and it is a valid form of art, whether it is Banksy,"Os Gêmeos," or a typical street tag.
Luckily, you don't have to head over to a museum to see some awesome graffiti---you can find it right outside your door. We've gathered some of the most notable pieces of graffiti on the Upper West Side, including murals, tags, and a surprising amount of stickers that you can see yourself on a walk through the neighborhood.
A smiling newspaper dispenser seen on 86th Street and Amsterdam.
A mural based on the poem "Revolutionary Petunia" by Alice Walker on 92nd Street and Broadway.
The famous Banksy "Hammer Boy," now protected by a glass case, on 79th street between Broadway and Amsterdam.
The prevalence of stickers can be explained by the difficulty of using a spray can in a heavily monitored neighborhood, as well as the ease of mass-producing and distributing pieces. It takes just a few seconds for budding artists or desperate advertisers to slap a sticker onto the nearest surface.
The artist uses post office stickers as a medium, as seen on Amsterdam and 91st Street.
Three BNE stickers, widely spread across the Upper West Side, share space on a mailbox on Riverside Drive. It's a different kind of tagging that shows how the artist's name becomes the art form itself.
Found on Amsterdam and 84th Street.
Possibly made by BNE as well? Seen on 85th Street and Amsterdam.
We all engage with graffiti in some way or another---it is completely incorporated into our daily lives, and it certainly has a polarizing effect. Graffiti has the power to re-claim public spaces or trample over private property. Graffiti can make ignored and unused urban spaces beautiful and personalized, but it can also piss all over a well-kept building. It all depends on how you look at it.
An example of graffiti tagging on the Chinese Palace Restaurant on La Salle and Amsterdam.
The mural "Freedom" in front of a community center on Amsterdam and 94th Street.
Historically, the art form has always adapted to new environments and societies---the pieces themselves are not meant to last indefinitely but to fade or be erased as the city changes around them. We'll just have to wait and see how graffiti evolves in the decades to come.

Kanye West popped the question to Kim Kardashian Monday in front of family and friends at AT&T Park in San Francisco, which he rented out specially for the occasion, reports E! News a k a the Kardashian Network. E!, which airs the myriad Kardashian reality shows, promises more details later Tuesday.
West proposed on Kardashian's 33rd birthday. The couple has been dating since spring 2012, a few months after Kardashian ended her brief marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries. West revealed in December that Kardashian was expecting their first child, and a judge didn't actually dissolve the Kardashian-Humphries union until April of this year. Kardashian gave birth to their daughter, North West, in June.
West will be Kardashian's third husband; prior to Humphries, she was married to music producer Damon Thomas for three years after eloping at age 19. West has never been married — in fact, last week anonymous sources were telling gossip sites that West "has no desire to make their relationship official in the eyes of the law."
Here's an Instagram of Kardashian flashing her new ring from Kardashian's hairstylist, Clyde Haygood:

He was a nice Jewish boy from New Jersey — born in Newark, raised in Paterson, a student at Montclair State (before transferring to Columbia). His father taught high school. He thought he'd be a labor lawyer.
But he also felt drawn to the work of another, long-gone New Jersey native: Walt Whitman. And so Allen Ginsberg became a poet, too, singing a song of himself that lasted for more than 40 years.
"Howl," a new film, looks at the man at his peak.
In 1955, after struggling with the formal demands of poetry (and his own attempts at heterosexuality), Ginsberg finally put other people's expectations aside. He would write whatever he wanted. He would love whomever he wanted.
And an astonishing poem poured out of him, the lament of someone who had seen "the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked," the love song of someone entranced by sailors, by "angel-headed hipsters," by life.
(Unrated) Oscilloscope (94 min.)
Directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. With James Franco. Now playing in New York.
Ratings note: The film contains nudity, sexual situations, substance abuse and strong language.
Stephen Whitty's review: TWO AND A HALF STARS
It was a shout of freedom and so, naturally, there were those who wanted to shout it down.
"Howl," a feature directed by two longtime nonfiction filmmakers, breaks its story down into four parts. There is a faux-documentary interview with Ginsberg (played by James Franco). There is a cartoon visualization of the poem. There is a long scene of Ginsberg reading the poem at a coffeehouse. And there is the 1957 trial for obscenity brought against Ginsberg's publisher, the poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
Unfortunately, only about half of this works.
Interestingly, what succeeds are the parts either most related to Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's previous work or most divergent from it. The scenes of Ginsberg quietly talking about his life and work are direct and clear-cut; the images of his words come to life are striking, even nightmarish.
But the scenes of the poem being read to an adoring audience only give in to the worst clichés of the artist biopic. And the trial is both undramatic (Ginsberg isn't even present) and inconclusive (the defense's witnesses sound nearly as fatuous as the prosecution's).
Yet the visualization of the poem — credited to animation designer Eric Drooker — is haunting. And the cast-against-type James Franco — an always delightfully off-center, privately amused actor — is convincing as Ginsberg, right down to his mumbling rumble of a voice.
Ginsberg's life and career were long and, frankly, not without their valleys. Some were embarrassing (such as his promise to levitate the Pentagon through chanting). Some were worse (such as his 1997 pronouncement that "to label pedophilia as criminal is ridiculous").
But this film captures the late poet at his early best — when he woke up one morning determined to speak for himself, and went to bed realizing he had spoken for a generation.

Hi, my name is Mark Mitchell and this is part of my story.
It all started back in 1992 when a routine knee operation to have my kneecap removed went wrong. The surgeon decided to put a tourniquet around my right thigh so he could have a relatively dry operation. The next day I was discharged from hospital with a blue foot. After numerous tests, a month later I was back in hospital for a graft to my femoral artery. The surgeon for this operation gave me a ten year warranty on the graft.
Twelve years later, in 2004, I was back in hospital for a below knee amputation due to reduced blood flow to the bottom half of my right leg. I was then transferred to Rehab Plus - a rehabilitation unit in Auckland. I stayed there for three weeks and was able to go home on the weekends to spend time with my wife (who was still working) and my nine month old daughter, Jasmin. The support from the physio, Karen Wilson, who drove me to obtain my maximum fitness level before I went home, was invaluable and I will never forget the time I spent there.
Five weeks after the operation I got my first artificial limb. It felt quite strange having this thing hanging off the end of my knee, but with the help and support I got from the manager and staff at the Limb Centre in Auckland, I was walking again pretty quickly. So thanks to them I had a pretty smooth transition. These guys are not someone you just go to get adjustments done to your prosthesis, they become part of your family.
Having been a long distance truck driver for many years, I decided to change my field of employment. With the help of ACC, I went back to school and became a driving instructor and a Road Transport Industry-registered assessor, working for such places as New Zealand Road Transport Association, Bay of Plenty Polytechnic and more recently Gobus transport in Hamilton as their instructor/trainer.
In 2009 I took up lawn bowls after being invited up to a bowling club for a drink one afternoon. After having a go at the game, I thought I can do this, so I became a member of the Hillcrest Bowling Club in Hamilton. I also became a member of NZ Disabled Bowls. This is my third season playing and I am really enjoying it.
By November 2011 I had to resign my position at Gobus Transport. After more tests and a MRI, they found the graft had finally broken down (not a bad stint, as I was only given a ten year warranty to start with). So it was back into hospital in January 2012 for an above knee amputation.
Man, things have changed heaps since my first amputation. I now have three children at home Jasmin 9, Connor 7, and Cullum 3. Without the support from my friends and family I don't know where I would be right now. You don't really know how much support and strength people give you until you have gone through what we (and a lot of other people) have been through, or are going through at the moment.
Living in Huntly, I changed to the Limb Centre in Hamilton, not because I wanted to, but because I had to. The manager in Auckland rang Claude, the manager in Hamilton, and between them the came up with a prosthesis they thought would work for me. My first appointment in Hamilton was great, I felt comfortable talking to the physio, Mary-Clare and to Claude. In the last few weeks I've had many appointments - fittings, getting the alignment right, learning how to try and walk again (it's probably a 12 month process). These people tell you exactly what's going on and are up-front with you. They are there for you, to help you get going again.
But YOU have to want it too. Don't just sit there on your backside doing nothing, get up, put your prosthesis on and do what you can. When you go for your next appointment, you will notice some progress yourself. You have to want to do this.
It's like I mentioned before, you form a relationship with these people for many years and it's nice to know that there are people that are there for you and all they expect back is a bit of input.
When I was approached by the NZALS to write something about myself, I thought - it's not just about me, it's about the people that helped me get to where I am now and will be later on in life.
Thanks for reading.

DETROIT LAKES - A religion is a set of beliefs and practices often organized around supernatural and moral claims, and often codified as prayer, ritual and religious law. Religion also encompasses ancestral or cultural traditions, writings, history and mythology, as well as personal faith and mystic experience. The term "religion" refers to both the personal practices related to communal faith and to group rituals and communication stemming from shared conviction. There are many, many different religious beliefs in this world of ours. To me, I like to preach about religious tolerance.

Adam Lambert wants his 'Decay' on 'Twilight: Eclipse' soundtrack
Like so many artists did for "Twilight Saga: New Moon," Adam Lambert is throwing his hat in the ring for a spot on the next "Twilight" soundtrack.
The "American Idol" star mentioned he'd like to hear his unreleased track "Suburban Decay" on "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," according to MTV. The track is produced by Rob Cavallo and was originally intended for his new album "For Your Entertainment" but didn't make the cut.
"I think it will find a home, on a soundtrack or something ... maybe 'Twilight,' " he said. "It just didn't quite fit [in my album]. It's very theatrical. ... It's very campy, and it was just a bit too campy for the album as a big picture... Hey, 'Eclipse' ... Want my song? It's kind of about vampires."
"Campy" isn't exactly the word to describe the washy intensity of this last compilation, put together by "New Moon" music supervisor and indie expert Alexandra Patsavas. As you're well aware, Thom Yorke, Bon Iver, Muse and The Killers were on this set, though the latter two bands have at least some resemblance to Lambert's dark, overactive tracks.
Lambert has at least some soundtrack experience, with the "Time for Miracles" theme in "2012."
"Eclipse" is due June 30 next year. "New Moon" is in theaters now.

I recently signed petitions to our three leftist government representatives imploring them to reject the card-check legislation that is winding its way through Congress. In order to fool people, the left has named it the Employee Free Choice Act. Talk about your misnomers. This scrappy bill is nothing about free choice.
First, it can scrap secret-ballot elections and replace it with a simple "yes" or "no" check on a card. However, you'll have to do it in front of everyone. This is so people can be intimidated and threatened if they opt not to join a union.
Second, it would mandate that if labor and management could not reach an agreement, a government-appointed arbitrator would make a binding decision. In other words, the government will tell companies how to manage their business.
This is just another example of Socialist-in-Chief Obama and the Congress leading this country downward to third-world-country status.
The long-term implications will be continuous anemic economic growth and high unemployment.
People need to wake up and tell their representatives to vote "no" on card-check.

I'm writing a document in latex. It's in my native language, Slovenian. And the rules for splitting words across multiple lines are a little bit different: the splitted word in new line should not start with letters: a,e,i,o,u and there are some other rules.
Is there any way to let Latex know about these rules? Does latex have a command, which can declare appropriate rules in any language, including Slovenian?
If not, how can I prevent Latex from splitting words on such letters. And I want a solution that affects whole document correctly, I don't want to mark each word separately.
Hi Eleanor,
I recommend to use babel:
or polyglossia, the latter with XeTeX.
You could implement your own special hyphenation rules using the
pre_linebreak_filter callback (or a
token_filter callback) with LuaTeX. Or, with XeTeX, your could use
\XeTeXinterchartoks. In any way, you could insert
\nobreak commands.

Hi, thanks for quick reply.
I'm already using:
And from your answer I guess, this should be enough. But it isn't. The words are still splitted wrongly. A small example is the following code:
When running pdflatex test.tex, the third column contains the following text:
Notice that the word "zlonamerne" is splitted on the 'a' boundary. The letter 'a' should not be put into the next line, but should be on the previous line or the word should be put into the new line alltogether.
Any ideas?
Sure, the other ideas I listed above. Perhaps have a look at the links to XeTeX and LuaTeX, to evaluate if it's worth working it out.

When I compile your example as is, I get the result pictured in the attachment.

Tonight's show -- the fourth of five Giants Stadium shows Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will present this summer -- started at 8:18 p.m. with "Wrecking Ball." Patti Scialfa took the stage with the band for the first time on the stand.
There was a big cheer when she stepped to the center microphone and sang a line, toward the end of "Out In the Street," as she usually does. Maybe Springsteen chose to perform this song second to give the crowd that chance to acknowledge her (though the song did occupy the same slot on Saturday).
Springsteen crowd-surfed backed to the stage after singing "Hungry Heart" from the stadium floor, as he did on Saturday.
After "Working On a Dream," Springsteen started playing the "Born To Run" album in its entirety. Before opening song "Thunder Road," he talked a little about the album, and said it represented his attempt "to create this picture of this long, long summer day and night."
Though it wasn't exactly a warm summer night, the weather was still as good as you could hope for in early October.
Springsteen played the upbeat "Waitin' On a Sunny Day" after "Jungleland," the dark, majestic closing "Born To Run" song. Then he collected fans' signs, with song requests written on them, as the band played "Raise Your Hand." The first song-by-request was "It's Hard To Be a Saint In the City."
Springsteen and the band turned in a fast, hard-hitting version of the second request, "My Love Will Not Let You Down."
Guitarist Nils Lofgren spun around in place as he soloed during "Because the Night." Scialfa's harmony vocals were vital on "Human Touch." Springsteen introduced her at the end of the song, and she got another big cheer.
|Bruce Springsteen performs his new song 'Wrecking Ball' at Giants Stadium, Sept. 30
The four songs from "Saint" to "Human Touch" really stood out for me. I attended the three previous Giants Stadium shows, and these were the first four songs of the evening that hadn't been played on those nights. It's a simple rule of Springsteen concert-going: the more shows you go to, the more you want to hear something different.
Springsteen dedicated the first encore, "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)," to the late E Street Band keyboardist, Danny Federici. Other encores included dependable crowd-pleasers "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" and "Dancing In the Dark," as well as a joyful "Twist and Shout."
Ending at 11:16 p.m., the 29-song show came within two minutes the three-hour mark.
Tomorrow's concert, which will be the last musical event ever at Giants Stadium, will feature the "Born To U.S.A." album in its entirety. The stadium will be demolished after the current football season; a new stadium is being built next to it, in the Meadowlands.
Here is the setlist for Thursday's show. Songs in bold are from the "Born To Run" album. Asterisks denote songs not played at the previous three Giants Stadium shows.

"Out In the Street"
"Outlaw Pete"
"Hungry Heart"

This is a new one: Doc Rivers is getting criticized this week for rewarding unselfishness.
Near the end of Sunday's 103-83 loss to Detroit, the Celtics coach urged his team to help Rajon Rondo reach 10 assists for a 34th straight game. Rondo made it with 51 seconds left.
Magic Johnson holds the NBA record with 46 straight 10-assist games, and John Stockton had 37. The Rondo episode raised a larger question of when, if ever, the pursuit of statistics should supersede the game.
Nobody seemed to question the need for Jack Taylor to score 138 points for Grinnell (Iowa) College in a 75-point win Tuesday, yet Rivers has been blamed for making a farce of basketball.
The Rondo case does not bother me one bit, though playing him at garbage time did make me nervous after he missed a game with an ankle injury last week. He tried to extend the streak against San Antonio Wednesday night.
Firing up passes so that teammates can score is not the same as firing up your own shots. The Celtics were also getting rubbed out that night, and that is different than having a winning team rub it in for stats.
Padding stats is certainly nothing new. Standing on the court with a ruptured Achilles in 1998, one basket shy of the University of Connecticut women's scoring record, Nykesha Sales was handed a free layup as part of a deal between Geno Auriemma and Villanova coach Harry Perretta.
In 2003, Cleveland's Ricky Davis tried missing a shot at his own team's basket, so that he could get the rebound he needed for a triple-double.
At the end of a 2007 blowout win over La Salle, University of Massachusetts forward Stephane Lasme needed a 10th blocked shot for his fourth triple double of the season, tying an NCAA record. With coach Travis Ford lobbying the scorer's table, Lasme got it.
It is believed his fingers came at least six inches from the ball.
And did you know how Lou Gehrig kept his consecutive-games streak alive at 1,427 in 1934, five years before it ended at 2,130? An ailing Gehrig was marked into the lineup as leadoff man and shortstop (a lefty, no less) in Detroit.
He swung at the first pitch of the game, somehow hit a single and staggered to first before Red Rolfe, the Yankees' rookie shortstop and leadoff man, replaced him as a pinch-runner.
Davis' case was ridiculous, Lasme's was amusing and I could see Auriemma's point with Sales, though getting the other coach involved is harder to defend.
Gehrig's case bothers me because the idea came from him, not a manager looking out for his player.
That's what Rivers was doing. Rondo is carrying this team, and he deserved a chance to do something special.
Besides, he was chasing Magic's record, and I can't stand the Lakers. Maybe that's why this doesn't bother me.
Boston Celtics guard Rajon Rondo's stat-padding was no big deal

Sorry, Fresh Del Monte (competitor with CQB and DOLE) is an independent public company. Del Monte Foods (canned fruit/veggies and pet food) was sold to KKR. What's your point?
my point is there more consolidation brewing in the sector.
