Day 3 - Last day in Paris Day 4 - train fun
... beautifully etched armour, a helmet that looked like a duck (!), cannons with smiling lion faces, amazingly detailed firearms...after doing that portion of the museum, we had a quick bit to eat at the caf� there then went to the WW museums. I went thru a little faster than hubby, and like all war museums, there was some disturbing stuff - especially the videos of the holocaust and the atrocities...it is so horrifying, but hard to look ...
Disappointing day......but it's ended up good
... technique and we ended up doing bead and sequin work in the methods used by French fashion houses. Not my thing, and I didn't enjoy it at all. A few did but most of us thought it was a beginners class and not suitable for the tour. I have about an hour to complete it, maybe I will. The great thing about today was that we were stitching at the studio of Au Ver a Soie, this is the home of the silk threads ...
France day 14
Last day of the cruise. It's all finally coming to an end. To make it the last few miles I had to start the day off right with, a buffet breakfast! Which means lots of fruit. Mmmmmm fruit. After saying adios and au revoir (same thing) I got a complimentary ride to my hotel! The same one as last time (€90). I'm going to get a good sleep for the plane trip ...
July in Paris
... Seine. Neither of us had been there before and it was pleasant to wander the streets in the quiet of the morning. We did some shopping in the street that runs through the middle of the island and had breakfast there.
Our next stop was Musee Picasso. I had been holding off on all the Picasso museums earlier in the trip as I had wanted to see this one as it was being renovated when I came in 2013. The museum is well laid out and works through the ...
Pre pre Party!
... La Durantie adventure. Got to the train in plenty of time and a three hour journey down to Limoges. Picked up our hire cars and on to the chateau in convoy. Fourteen of us in all. Chateau la durantie is about an hours drive south of Limoges in the Dordogne. Arrived at the chateau around 3pm. David and Michael were already there, arriving in from Spain. Great to see them especially as David had done the big shop for the five days and dinner that night. He ...

At first glance this looks like Bruce's typical action movie, following his tried and true formula. And, actually, the fact of the matter is "Hostage" is very similar to at least half a dozen other movies that Bruce made. But nevertheless, it's an excellent movie. I enjoyed it because it was so fast-moving and even though I sort of had a feeling what was going to happen I still felt very shocked and surprised. I don't want to give too much away, but there were some great effects. As always, Bruce was exceptional. After watching this movie, I really think the man must have been a cop in a prior life because he had this role down pat. And the movie is not so much a story of just a hostage situation as it is more of a story of good verses evil. The movie really pushes the envelope while asking the viewers to examine the situation and question the entire realm of what evil truly is. I enjoyed this movie tremendously and cannot recommend it enough.
GREAT LOOKING blu-ray 2.35.1 ratio Widescreen and real good in PQ & AQ
UNDER $10 COM'ON man..WOW, is Awsome Thriller/Nail biting flick & Bruce Wills always Kills it in any movie his in he just nails it!~ AWESOME
This was like an action drama but it was a good movie. There are some sympethic moments yet plenty of violent action.

Jeremiah 22New International Version (NIV)
Judgment Against Wicked Kings
22 This is what the Lord says: "Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and proclaim this message there: 2 'Hear the word of the Lord to you, king of Judah, you who sit on David's throne—you, your officials and your people who come through these gates. 3 This is what the Lord says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if you are careful to carry out these commands, then kings who sit on David's throne will come through the gates of this palace, riding in chariots and on horses, accompanied by their officials and their people. 5 But if you do not obey these commands, declares the Lord, I swear by myself that this palace will become a ruin.'"
6 For this is what the Lord says about the palace of the king of Judah:
"Though you are like Gilead to me,
8 "People from many nations will pass by this city and will ask one another, 'Why has the Lord done such a thing to this great city?' 9 And the answer will be: 'Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God and have worshiped and served other gods.'"
10 Do not weep for the dead king or mourn his loss;
11 For this is what the Lord says about Shallum[a] son of Josiah, who succeeded his father as king of Judah but has gone from this place: "He will never return. 12 He will die in the place where they have led him captive; he will not see this land again."
13 "Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness,
15 "Does it make you a king
18 Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
"They will not mourn for him:
20 "Go up to Lebanon and cry out,
24 "As surely as I live," declares the Lord, "even if you, Jehoiachin[c] son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on my right hand, I would still pull you off. 25 I will deliver you into the hands of those who want to kill you, those you fear—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Babylonians.[d] 26 I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. 27 You will never come back to the land you long to return to."
28 Is this man Jehoiachin a despised, broken pot,

Score: 7,5
In my blog in Portuguese I wrote about Gran Torino and Fight Club, and these articles resulted in very angry comments and this one is probably going the same path. I'm thankful my blog is not famous and my profile picture is very mysterious otherwise I would be attacked by an angry mob. But even so I won't remain silent! I really like James Cameron. I loved Titanic. But I was 12 when I watched it and its thousands of flaws were completely invisible to my critical views at the time and now they only make it more charming. Titanic is still the biggest box office success of all time, but Avatar is right behind it. But at one thing we have to agree, its plot has been exhaustively explored in much better ways. I was trying to ellaborate an equation with a friend that could result in Avatar, and we got to the following one: Pocahontas + The Last of The Mohicans + The Last Samurai + Dance With Wolves + Atari + Wii.What did you think?
What is it about? Actually it's just an excuse to show what's the latest technology in special effects for motion pictures. I tried to watch it in 3D but it was sold out for 3 days so I watched the regular version. Well, the story is about terrestrials (all Americans, sorry...) who go to a planet called Pandora in order to explore. The team guided by Sigourney Weaver wants to study the planet but the team guided by Colonel Quaritch has other less peaceful interests.
The intention is good, but the script is weak. Let's face it: no army chief in the Middle East will ever say that their interest there is oil as Giovanni Ribisi said to Sigourney that they only want a stone that costs 20 million a kilo. They would disguise it as "Spread of Democracy" or "War on Terror". But I also understand that the kind of public that is most appealed to this kind of movie is generally not used to think about serious issues or just care about the visual aspect of the movie, so the message must be completely clear otherwise they wouldn't get it.
The leading man, Australian actor Sam worthington, is a marine who's got an avatar (mixed with his DNA) to explore the planet freely, play with the flying jellyfishes (among other funny games), and he ends up becoming friends with the natives, and Zoe Saldaña has the obligation to teach him to be one of them. So he has this double life, part-time human, part-time Na' vi.
This discovery part is beautiful. I was really expecting to see Pocahontas or Vanessa Williams to come along and sing Colors of the Wind. Everything is so colorful that it wouldn't be any surprise if the wind was colored too. It's funny that in Twilight, the glitter-vampire glows in the sun, but here everything glows in the dark. The plants, the animals, everything. You're running away from a predator? You're screwed! Wanna play hide and seek? Don't even think about it... Suddenly I looked down and my flip flops were glowing too. If I had put them up to the air maybe the public would think they were watching it in 3D.
And just between us, this new technology developed by James Cameron to turn real actors in those blue creatures may be revolutionary, but visually it's not of good taste. It's too much information. Reminded me of those gigantic colores pencil boxes. Except for the plants (which were nothing but palm trees, coconut palms, banana plans, ferns and similar things) the animals didn't look real. I felt like watching a Playstation game. The Ets from Evolution (that movie with Julianne Moore and David Duchovny) seemed more conveincing. Pixas does it better... But this technology will be improved. In time no make up will be needed to transform actors for biographies. Special effects will take care of that. There will be no ugly people either. Anyone will have the chance to be gorgeous and slim. Social acceptance expectations rising...
The characters weren't well developed either. They're all plane, shallow, specially the villain. He's a complete stereotype, from the scars in the head to the complete absence of kindness. And it amazes me that someone who fought in a fictitious war in Venezuela (will it actually happen?) to say something like this: On Earth, these men (marines) were the main strenght from the army. Fighting for freedom. But here they were only mercenaries getting their money. Then I ask: whose freedom?
I could write a book about the planet itself. There are many questionable things there, besides the bad taste. For example, if there is plenty of water why there's no oxigen in the air? Why don't the flying mountains fall? Why do the mosquitos fly in circles? I think the script could be more creative about the planet. That luminous tree (Luxurious! The newest trend for the next holiday season) surpassed my expectations. I thought it was about to walk, like in Lord of The Rings, or to talk, just like Grandmother Willow.
The Na'vis are a different chapter. If I were them I wouldn't turn the Ets into giant smurfs. Everything is very similar to what exhists here on Earth and I believe that if there is life outside here it must be completely different from us and totally disturbing. And maybe more than one rational species as we have here. Sometimes the Na'vis act like Indians, specially their social organization, and their religious culture is similar to the African culture, and Pandora, which is a Greek word, was adopted by them as the name of their planet. There's no way for me to say that it was well developed.
And as a designer I have to criticise that millions were spent and they didn't think about hiring a graphic designer to create an exclusive typeface to use as the subtitles of the Na'vi language. They used Papyrus, that everyone has in their own computer. A shame... At least the movie has good values after all. It's against colonialism, imperialism and militarism. And I didn't sleep during the almost 3 hours of it. This is long enough now and I'm gonna stop. I talked enough.

This is a competitive renewal of DK38712-20 entitled "Regulating IRS1 by Ser/Thr Phosphorylation". The renewal focuses upon the regulation of IRS1 signaling cascades in mouse-based experimental systems. The decreased physiologic response to insulin (insulin resistance) is key to the initiation and progression of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Post-receptor responsiveness to insulin in muscle, liver and other tissues, including the CNS, depends upon the insulin receptor substrate proteins, IRS1 and IRS2. Tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-proteins by the insulin receptor recruits the phosphatidylinositol 3'kinase (PI 3-kinase) to a fraction of the cellular IRS1/IRS2 pool, activating downstream kinases that mediate the cellular insulin response. Although the interactions of numerous genetic and environmental factors promote T2DM, negative regulation of IRS1 and IRS2 signaling by serine or threonine phosphorylation has emerged as a common mechanism of insulin resistance. However, the experimental verification and exploration of this mechanism in whole animals has been limited by the large number of serine (Ser) and threonine (Thr) phosphorylation sites found in IRS1 and IRS2. Given this biological complexity, insulin resistance in many studies has been attributed to the phosphorylation of one or a few Ser/Thr residues in IRS1 to which commercially-produced antibodies are available. However, a positive contribution to the normal insulin response of phosphorylation at particular Ser/Thr sites cannot be ruled out form current data. Numerous cell-based and animal or human studies have shown that Ser307 in rodent Irs1 (human Ser312) is phosphorylated during insulin resistance. Phosphorylation of nearby Ser302 in rodent Irs1 is similarly implicated in insulin resistance, especially that stemming from nutrient excess and activation of signaling by the mTORC1 holo-kinase (mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1). Our laboratory has developed the experimental systems to directly investigate the effect of these and other modifications upon the insulin sensitivity of mice. The mechanism(s) by which Ser307 and Ser302 in rodent Irs1-or other phosphorylation sites-regulate insulin signaling will be investigated in this proposal under physiologic conditions of health or obesity that progresses to insulin resistance and diabetes using new mouse genetic models and a set of 25 phospho- and site-specific monoclonal antibodies, as outlined in the following Specific Aims: 1. Define the Ser/Thr-phosphorylation profile of IRS1 associated with PI 3-kinase signaling. 2. Establish phospho-mimetic E307Irs1 and E302Irs1 knock-in mice to model the effect of phosphorylation at these positions of Irs1. 3. Identify the mTORC1-dependent phosphorylation sites in IRS1 that regulate insulin signaling and glucose tolerance in mice.
Peripheral insulin resistance is important in the initiation and progression of type 2 diabetes. Post-receptor responsiveness to insulin in muscle, liver and other tissues, including the CNS, depends upon tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor substrates, IRS1 and IRS2 by the insulin receptor. This project investigates the molecular mechanism responsible for the inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS1, which can contribute to the progression of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

We have in the order of thousands of queues and topics, and many of the destinations also have possibly up to 10 selectors. My experience on ActiveMQ 5.2 and 5.3 was atrocious as there were problems with controlling the number of threads, so we would easily run out of threads. Since upgrading to 5.4 all the thread controls appear to be functioning well (but we could do with having SSL over NIO implemented to make things even better). Unfortunately, selectors have been and are still problematic due to the interaction with maxPageSize, which as far as I know isn't scheduled to be fixed until ActiveMQ 6.0. For the reasons above I would definitely go with a multiple-destinations-no-selectors approach if I could start our project all over again, as opposed to a fewer-destinations-multiple-selectors approach. Good luck, Mats

Wonderful article, this web is superb. Thanks for this information about my guitar idol, Talmage Farlow.ReplyDelete
Great piece. Not sure who the author is, but I wanted to let him or her know that there is a new Tal Farlow Biography, written by Jean-Luc Katchoura and Michele Farlow. It's available thru Amazon and Ebay. It's terrific, BTW.ReplyDelete
Ah, sorry, missed your name, Steven Cerra. I will try to reach you. Great work!ReplyDelete

Great article on my favorite guitar player. I also highly recommend the Tal Farlow Biography from Jean-Luc Katchoura and Tal's wife Michelle Hyk Farlow to any serious fan. It is loaded with pictures and information. Got myself a deluxe signed copy as I am to obsessive a fanReplyDelete
What a treasure trove of info on Tal. Thanks so much for compiling this. I've listened to this man for several years now, but never knew much about him. I like him even more, having read all this. Cheers, JohnReplyDelete

Wonderful post! Seeing the documentary "Talmage Farlow" on PBS in 1987 as a 15-year-old instantly made me a jazz fan, and I was buying Coltrane albums a month or two later. Tal's work was hard to get back then, and he remained this sort of mystical jazz icon to me. I saw him only once, in the early 1990s, playing at a tiny college in a small town on the NC/SC border, a few miles down the road from the town where Dizzy Gillespie was from. He was playing in one of those auditorium classrooms used for giant sections of freshman chemistry classes, with the audience sitting at bolted-down desks...very un-jazz kind of place, but I was thrilled to see him in person. Your post reminded me of how innovative the Red Norvo Trio was, and how underrated it remains. Tal was obviously a gifted natural, but he was quite lucky to have been discovered and nurtured by Norvo, and to have lived at a time when popular music bled into jazz and made use of skilled jazz improvisers. I'm sure there are guys around today with Tal's kind of unassuming personality and natural talent, but there isn't a jazz scene today where they could thrive. I can't see a modern-day Tal going to Berklee College of Music, fighting for gigs in the NYC jazz scene, or getting noticed and signed by what remains of the music industry.ReplyDelete

Everyone is an influencer
Lately, I have noticed that when it comes to tracking your buzz a lot of companies are only focused on tracking the so-called influencers. The problem that I have with this approach is that today, everyone is an influencer. You never know at any given time who can influence who and in what way. The barriers to publishing online are so low right now that anyone at anytime can damage your reputation, and they have a number of channels they can use to do so. That is why it is important to track everything and everyone, not just the influencers.
It is as if these companies only think that if a blog has a certain number of readers they are worthy of your attention. I am here to tell you that this is absurd; you should track everything and everyone because you will never know who can influence others until it is too late.
Do you think that AOL ever thought Vincent Ferrari was an influencer? I'm guessing they never even knew the guy existed until it was too late. Had they been properly tracking their buzz they could have addressed the issue before it escalated beyond control. I am not saying that AOL is only watching the influencers because I honestly have no idea, but I do know that they clearly did not track and manage their buzz effectively. What happened to them was every company's worst nightmare.
Even if someone does not have a popular blog, or they are a well-known name, they are still an influencer. With sites like YouTube, MySpace and Digg that have audiences of millions of people that are reachable at anytime, all one needs to do is shout through the megaphone and people will hear it, loud and clear. Once that happens it won't be very long before all-hell breaks loose.
The point I am trying to make here is that everyone is an influencer. Information can spread so insanely fast right now that you need to track everything and you need to track it closely. Forget about buzzwords like "influencers" and realize that today, everyone's voice is important.


text: A New, Beastie Boys-Influenced Star Wars Alien Reminds Us How Much We Still Don't KnowGermain Lussier9/30/15 8:00pmFiled to: Star Wars: The Force AwakensStar WarsBeastie BoysJ.J. Abrams26717EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink When I think of how little we know about Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it kind of boggles my mind. All the toys are from the first third of the movie, and we haven't seen most of the old characters And we've only seen a few of the new aliens. Advertisement Case in point, new images of a Hasbro Black Series figure for a character named Ello Asty have just made it online. It's a character who's been online in leaked concept art and stuff, but this is our best, full look at him. And he's super cool. Plus, there's an odd but awesome link to the Beastie Boys.Minor spoilers follow. Advertisement Here are images of the character, via Jedi Insider. What's more, Yakface reports that the Aurebesh writing on his helmet (not visible in these pictures) says "Born to Ill," which seems odd until you look at his name again. Add an "H" and "N." It's "Hello Nasty," the name of the 1998 Beastie Boys album. They also had the album, "Licensed to Ill," which makes that link. There's more on Making Star Wars.Also, don't forget, J.J. Abrams put the Beastie Boys song Sabotage in the first Star Trek, so he's certainly a fan. Sponsored As you can tell by Ello's suit, he's an pilot, much like Poe Dameron. Here's how the official Star Wars Database describes him:Ello Asty is a skilled if occasionally reckless X-wing starfighter pilot for the Resistance.And right there is where it clicked. This is a character who probably doesn't have a lot of screen time, but plays a role in this movie and we know nothing about it. There are surely dozens and dozens more like this, and we can't wait to learn more about them. Advertisement Advertisement More pics at the link!

A state-of-the-art National Cadet Corps Nagar-cum-Academy will be set up in an area of six acres in Jalandhar, Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal said on Monday.
The chief minister also gave nod to establish 'NCC Nagars' on a similar pattern as in Gujarat, at Amritsar, Patiala and Ludhiana in a phased manner after the completion of the same at Jalandhar.
A decision to this effect was taken by Badal while presiding over a high-level meeting here, in which Additional Director General, NCC, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh Zone, Maj General G S Chima, and senior officers of the state government participated.
Badal said the state government would extend full support and cooperation to the NCC Directorate for intensifying its activities through involving more and more youth.
He said Punjab has already set up NCC academies at Rupnagar and Malout, which are running successfully.
The chief minister, according to an official release here, has also approved the proposal of the Directorate for the upgrading of the NCC Companies (minor units) to the NCC Battalion level for enhancing the scope of NCC, and asked the authorities to immediately initiate the process in this regard.

2011 saw the inaugural Gough Whitlam Oration, hosted by the Whitlam Institute at the University of Western Sydney. The evening was a proper ALP "love-in" with party luminaries past and present in attendance. The guest speaker was none other than the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard.
The PM focused her speech on the ideals of fairness and opportunity, and celebrated the idea of "ordinariness". Ms Gillard also took the opportunity to "sink the slipper" into the Greens who, she said, would never know what it was like to be "driven by love of family and nation". Ouch!
The great man she was there to honour, Gough Whitlam, wasn't well enough to front up on the night, but he did send the assembled faithful a video message. A "welcome to country" was given by Darug elder Aunty Edna Wilson and native speaker Rhiannon Wright.
Julia Gillard was born in Wales, and immigrated to Australia in 1966. She was sworn in as Australia's first female Prime Minister on 24 June 2010. She has held the seat of Lalor since 1998. Gillard studied Arts and Law at the University of Adelaide before being elected as national education vice president of the Australian Union of Students (AUS) in 1983. She became National President of the AUS in the same year. She began work as a solicitor with the law firm Slater and Gordon, becoming a partner in 1990, one of the youngest ever. She was appointed Chief of Staff to the then Victorian Opposition leader, John Brumby, and served him until her election to Lalor in 1998.
Gough Whitlam was born in 1916 and served as the 21st Prime Minister of Australia. Whitlam led the ALP to power at the 1972 election and retained government at the 1974 election, before being dismissed by Governor-General Sir John Kerr at the climax of the 1975 Australian constitutional crisis. Whitlam remains the only Prime Minister to have his commission terminated in that manner. His government is remembered for implementing a large number of new programs and policy changes, including the elimination of military conscription and capital punishment, institution of universal health care, free tertiary education and legal aid.
Geoffrey Roberson is Chair of The Whitlam Institute. Eric Sidoti is its Director.
Professor Janice Reid is the Vice Chancellor of the University of Western Sydney. Professor Peter Shergold is its Chancellor.

I am a proud Greens voter and consider their party to be far more pragmatic than that of Labor and it disheartens me to listen to such Labor gibberish. One cannot govern long without well thought out principles. Making the Greens party the scapegoat of the speech is a cheap parliamentary type (question time) tactic and belittles the stature of the speaker. Moreover, talking about the future or 1967 or 1975 does not really say very much as these items are just time periods which have no meanings to most listeners.
Labor's behaviours that should have been tackled head on should have been about their nepotism, cronyism and lack of any proper democratic behaviour at the base of the Labor party. Why is an alternative party like the Greens less deserving of executive power than the incompetent, undemocratic and presumptuous Labor in NSW or for that matter the national Labor Party?
For every so called Boom/Boom there is also Grime/Grime that is passed on to the future generations who would have to spend billions of dollars to clean it all up, let alone deal with the current and future health effects. Pragmatic for Labor means giving in to special interest groups such as the unions and multinational mining companies!

As an Australian Citizen who has not always voted for Labor it was refreshing 1. to witness a woman Prime Minister as the Orator of such a historical event. 2. A Labor Prime Minister that with sincerity, clarity and flawless articulation reminds me of what a Labor Party really stands for at a time when it has been difficult for many to see a real difference in the Political main stream. It is such a pleasure to see a Leader that not only has compassion but resolve for maintaining the integrity of the Labor conviction. As a devotee of Gough, Julia did him proud as she reaffirmed the true purpose of Labor, a purpose almost forgotten and nearly lost, but not anymore, fantastic!

I believe we programming greenhorns need to also understand the management in terms of project as well as people. Also there is a wonderfull PMP book by HeadFirst Series. It would be nice since people with the passion of growing in the organization in terms of programming as well as managing the team could be made more efficient.

For the time being, I would say put project management questions in either Process or Job Discussion depending on the focus. If we see a lot of PMP type questions, it would be time to create a forum. I suspect we have more techie than manager types around here though.

NBC announces the launch of TOMBOY, a documentary project on gender in sports
Earlier this month, NBC announced the launch of
TOMBOY, a multi-platform documentary project that aims to elevate the conversation about gender in sports told through the voices of many of the world's most prominent female athletes, broadcasters and sports executives. The first-of-its-kind integrated initiative culminates with a special one-hour documentary, also titled TOMBOY, which will air across all NBC Sports Regional Networks, nationally distributed NBCSN, and select NBC Owned Television Stations in March.
You can view the trailer for the project above, and browse through the myriad of pieces that have already been released over the course of the last two weeks here.
"We are excited to share the stories of some of the most remarkable female athletes in the world," said Ted Griggs, President, Group and Strategic Production & Programming Leader for NBC Sports Regional Networks. "
TOMBOY aims to elevate, invigorate and inspire the conversation about gender in sports, and we're proud to create a platform for open, candid discussion featuring a variety of perspectives."
Bracketology: Gonzaga holds on to No. 1 Seed
Yes, Gonzaga lost a home game to BYU. Although somewhat surprising, it doesn't yet knock the once-beaten Bulldogs from their No. 1 Seed in the West Region. What it does do, however, is open to door for the Pac-12 champion (or someone else) to overtake the Zags, especially if they slip again in the West Coast Conference tournament. As an example … should Oregon win out and claim the Pac-12 tournament, the Committee would have to determine the hierarchy between the Ducks and the Zags.
Championship Week is upon us. The next two weeks are important for both the top and bottom of the bracket.
Bubble Notes:
By sheer volume, the number of teams in play for at-large berths with double-digit losses is quite rare. Thus, the math for several bubble teams is becoming increasingly tough to manage. On the flip side, it's potentially good news for teams like Wichita State, Illinois State, and Middle Tennessee State should they fall a game short in their conference tournaments. We'll just have to see where we stand on selection weekend.
UPDATED: February 27, 2017
Regarding bracketing principles, can read them for yourself at http://www.ncaa.com. For example: teams from the same conference may now meet before a Regional final, even if fewer than eight teams are selected. The goal is to keep as many teams as possible on their actual seed line.

Five Things We Learned This Week: Gonzaga's a talking point, Monk's a terror, Duke hasn't changed
1. Gonzaga is going to be the team that we spend the most time arguing about for the next two weeks: That was probably already going to be the case given that the Zags get no credit for their record as a member of the WCC, but losing at home in a game where they led by 16 points is going to throw that argument into overdrive.
Can Gonzaga win a title? Is this a team you can trust in March? Do the Zags deserve a No. 1 seed? Are they nothing but a bunch of frauds?
I tried to warn you that this was coming six weeks ago.
Guess what: it's here.
2. UCLA beat another elite team with some clutch defending: A little more than two weeks ago, Oregon went into Pauley Pavilion, opened up a 19-point lead and looked like they were ready to cruise to a blowout win over the Bruins, that is until UCLA finally decided to stop defending like a CYO team that just found out their postseason pizza party was canceled.
The same thing happened on Saturday night in Tucson.
Only this time, the Bruins switched to a 3-2 with 15 minutes left in the game, crashed the offensive glass and totally took the air out of the ball and Arizona out of their rhythm. For 25 minutes, the Wildcats got whatever they wanted offensively against UCLA. For the final 15 minutes, they looked like they had never practiced zone offense.
The concern with the Bruins is always going to be how well they defend. As good as they are offensively, they have to be able to get some stops if they're going to be the elite teams across the country. They've down that the last two times they've faced an elite team in conference play and now own wins at Kentucky and at Arizona, and, if it wasn't for Dillon Brooks hitting a buzzer-beating three, they'd have a win at Oregon, too.
The Bruins have their flaws, but man, this team still looks pretty dangerous.

3. Is North Carolina the best team in the country?: That's the argument that I made when the Tar Heels picked off Louisville at home on Wednesday. Where is their weakness? Is it Joel Berry II's consistency? Because that's less of a concern with Justin Jackson playing the way that he has been playing.
Is it their health? Theo Pinson and Isaiah Hicks have battled injuries this year and the Tar Heels need both of them on the floor because it's unclear just how good they actually are defensively. Hicks is also always in foul trouble, which is never a good thing in a single-elimination tournament, and neither is a team that doesn't have a multitude of great shooters.
But when compared to the rest of the elites in college hoops, those question marks seem relatively minor. Kentucky is too often a one-man team. Gonzaga's guards might not be good enough. Duke and Kansas have no inside depth. Louisville's scorers can't score. Arizona doesn't have a point guard. Oregon has had some issues with consistency. UCLA doesn't defend.
We can play this game with everyone.
The issues that are brought up with the Tar Heels, however, just seem relatively minor in comparison.
4. Malik Monk is the scariest player in college basketball: It's not like this is breaking news or anything. Monk has been lighting up defenses all season long. He's been single-handedly winning games for Kentucky since the start of the season. He had 47 points in the win over North Carolina. He had 31 points in the second half and overtime to help the Wildcats avoid an upset loss to Georgia. He had 33 points against Ole Miss.
This is just kind of what he does.
But Saturday's performance felt different because before Monk went for 30 second half points to help lead the De'Aaron Fox-less Wildcats to a win over No. 13 Florida, a win that gives them the inside track to an SEC regular season title, he played one of the worst halves of his career. He was 1-for-5 from the floor with three points, five turnovers and two fouls. That came after he had just 11 points in a closer-than-it-should-have-been win at Missouri.
Monk turned it on like that in a game where Florida, a top five defensive team in the country, spent 20 minutes executing the "Stop Malik Monk" game-plan to perfection.
You don't want to see a guy that can do that on your side of the bracket.
5. Duke is exactly who they were a week ago: I'm done trying to tell people what to think of Duke. You all made up your minds weeks or months ago. If you're like me, you see a roster that includes Jayson Tatum, Luke Kennard and Grayson Allen and you pick them to win most of the games they play in. But if you look at their lack of interior defense, their depth issues, the injuries that won't go away and the point guard question marks and worry about a team like that making a run, you're certainly not wrong.
Duke is beatable.
We saw that this week, when they fell on a banked-in, buzzer-beating 23-footer at Syracuse and lost by five at Miami.
What I will tell you, however, is that if you let those two losses change the way you felt about Duke prior to Wednesday's tip, you're being silly.
Winning on the road in the ACC is hard. There's a reason there are people talking about the conference as maybe the best ever. There's a reason that only one team in the league has less than five league losses with two games left in the regular season. These are two road games to likely tournament teams decided by a total of eight points.
Losses like that are the kind of thing that happen in college basketball.
Team of the Week: Miami Hurricanes
Believe it or not, Miami actually entered this week without having an NCAA tournament bid locked up.
They had just two wins over tournament-caliber teams on the season and four loseable games left on their schedule.
Well, things change fast in college basketball, and now we're looking at a situation where the Hurricanes might be able to climb their way up as high as a No. 5 seed. It started with an overtime win at No. 18 Virginia, where the Hurricanes matched Virginia stop-for-stop in a 54-48 overtime win. (You didn't misread that score.)
They followed that up by picking off No. 10 Duke at home as Bruce Brown played like the best freshman in the ACC and the Hurricanes once again looked like one of the nation's best defensive teams, holding the Blue Devils to 50 points and Jayson Tatum and Luke Kennard to a-combined 10-for-36 shooting.
The Hurricanes may now find themselves ranked in the top 25 this week.
Not bad for a team that was still in doubt of being in the tournament at this time last week.

- Butler: The Bulldogs just keep winning. For a team that has already amassed wins over the likes of Villanova at home and Arizona on a neutral floor, this was probably their best week of the season. Not only did they hand Villanova's player their first-ever loss at The Pavilion, but they also picked off Xavier in Cincinnati.
- UCLA: The Bruins made a statement on Saturday night, as they went into Tucson and beat Arizona, making a run in the second half that was built around their defense and ability to crash the glass. UCLA now has the best pair of road wins — they won at Kentucky as well — of any team in the country.
- Providence: The Friars have just about played their way into the NCAA tournament, assuming they don't find a way to lose to St. John's or DePaul in the last week of the regular season. They picked off Creighton and Marquette this week after beating Xavier and Butler last week.
- UNC: The Tar Heels clinched at least a share of their eighth regular season title in the last 13 years this week when they beat Louisville and won at Pitt. The Tar Heels also staked their claim to being the best team in college basketball.
- Iowa State: The Cyclones have turned things around since they slotted Solomon Young in the post in their starting lineup. They've won five straight games, and this week alone they won at Texas Tech and picked off Baylor at home.
Player of the Week: J.J. Frazier, Georgia
J.J. Frazier deserves more credit and more attention than he has gotten this season, and there's no better time to give it to him than this week.
In two games — two wins that keep Georgia's minuscule hopes of getting an at-large bid alive — Frazier averaged 28.5 points and 4.5 assists, leading the Bulldogs to wins at Alabama and over LSU at home despite the fact that they are playing without Yante Maten, who sprained his knee in last Saturday's game against Kentucky.
Frazier, by the way, had 36 points in that game against the Wildcats.
All told, he's gone for at least 28 points in four of his last five games and has spent the better part of February as arguably the best guard in the SEC. Yes, that includes Malik Monk.
The unfortunate part of this is that the J.J. Frazier takeover happened too late. The Bulldogs are likely going to end up on the wrong side of the bubble because they have six losses in league play by six points or less or in overtime. They lost at Florida in OT. They lost at Kentucky in OT. They lost to Kentucky at home by five. They lost to South Carolina twice by a combined eight points. They lost at Texas A&M because the clock stopped running on the final possession, meaning that they didn't get their final shot off in time despite the fact that there were 5.6 seconds listed on the clock when the shot was taken.
It's been brutal.
The least we can do is give the kid his shine.

- Bam Adebayo, Kentucky: Adebayo is starting to play his best basketball of the season. It started with a 22-point, 15-rebound performance in a win at Missouri on That was followed up by the 18 points and 15 boards he put on Florida, damn-near finishing with a first half double-double that kept Florida from being able to open a lead Kentucky couldn't bounce-back from.
- Eric Mika and Elijah Bryant, BYU: The best performance from a Cougar that we saw this week was the 29 points and 11 boards that Mika had when BYU won at No. 1 Gonzaga and ended their undefeated season. But Bryant, who had 14 points in that win, also went for 39 points during the week as BYU beat Portland.
- Justin Jackson, UNC: Jackson seems to have taken control of the race for ACC Player of the Year thanks for the 21 points he scored in UNC's emphatic win over Louisville on Wednesday. He followed that up with 23 points in a win at Pitt.
- Monte' Morris, Iowa State: Morris had 23 points and six assists in an overtime win at Texas Tech on Monday night, following that up with 17 points and seven assists as the Cyclones picked off No. 9 Baylor in Hilton Coliseum on Saturday. They've now won five straight games.
- Bruce Brown, Miami: The Hurricanes scored 109 total points in wins at Virginia (in overtime!) and over Duke at home this week, and Brown had 39 of them, scoring a team-high 14 points against the Wahoos before popping off for 25 against the Blue Devils.

Former county Supervisor Chuck Smith dies
[caption id="attachment_88923" align="alignleft" width="210"] Smith in 2004.[/caption]
Former county Supervisor Charles V. Smith, a key advocate for the failed effort to put a commercial airport on the site of the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station and an activist for the welfare of children, died Sunday morning in hospice care. He was 80.
Smith served on the Board of Supervisors from 1997 to 2005, including two years as board chairman. He also served on the Westminster City Council from 1984 to 1988, when he was elected to the first of four two-year terms as the city's mayor.
"He was a great mentor and a strong, steady leader," said James Campbell, a Smith aide for seven years. "He could be stubborn and ornery, but Chuck Smith was fun and never took himself too seriously. Chuck had conviction and he never wavered. Whether you agreed with him or not, those are qualities you don't find very often in our leaders today."
Former Supervisor William Steiner, among Smith's allies in the effort to develop a commercial airport at the former El Toro base, agreed that Smith stood by his ideals – and wasn't a political showman.
"In working with him I always found him to be a low-key, easygoing individual who had the courage of his convictions – especially when he was the primary spokesman on the Board of Supervisors that encouraged the development of an airport on the El Toro base," Steiner said.
Smith also had a reputation for working well with people with different political positions, said Supervisor Bill Campbell, who opposed the El Toro airport.
"Chuck was somebody who was low-key, but he spoke his mind and tried to work with people who had different ideas," Campbell said.
Smith was born in Frankfort, Ohio on July 21, 1932. He joined the Marines at age 17, rose to the rank of sergeant and saw combat in the Korean War.
He earned a B.S. in engineering from Ohio State University and was a lifelong Buckeyes fan. He spent 30 years as an engineer and project manager working on space and satellite communication at Rockwell International.
While at Rockwell, Smith led the group that designed the fuel tank system for the space shuttle Challenger, which exploded on the takeoff of its 10th flight. The problem was eventually traced to parts outside the Smith group's purview, but not before several days of scrutiny, Campbell said.
"Chuck and his group were sequestered and there was a lot of pressure on him for a couple days," Campbell said.
Smith was also involved in designing covert information-gathering systems. In 1975, he spent four months in Iran testing border sites for suitability as locations for an electronic listening program. The covert stations would be used to eavesdrop on activities in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan – and that eavesdropping began during the testing period.
"We basically spied on the Iraqis,'' Smith told the Register in 2004.
Besides helping lead the contentious charge for a new commercial airport in the county, Smith was particularly active in children's issues. He was founding chairman of the Children and Families Commission of Orange County, and pushed toward ensuring that all children in the county were healthy and ready to learn when they entered school.
"He had a particular concern for children who were in the foster care and welfare systems," said Mike Ruane, longtime executive director of the commission. "He was a very straight shooter, and one of the things I found very interesting is that he worked with people who had very divergent views, but was able to lead them to consensus…. He always felt those issues shouldn't impact getting the best and brightest board members together to serve the youngest children in the county. He really led that board not just during the start-up but really helped frame the next decade of investment."
Additionally, Smith helped establish a program at Pio Pico Elementary School in Santa Ana in which county employees mentored students.
"In politics, he was still the engineer," said Jeff Smith, one of four children. "He was focused on looking at the problem and finding a solution. If that made former supporters mad, so be it. And what he said in public was the same thing he said at home. I think what the public saw was who he was."
Bill Campbell agreed that Smith had a particular eye for detail. Campbell recalled that after the El Toro airport plan had been rejected and the county was about to transfer the land to the city of Irvine, Smith pored through thick stacks of documents and spotted a troubling clause. It allowed Irvine to form a redevelopment agency to pursue Great Park development and capture future tax growth for itself. The county would have been left out, with nothing to help cover its clean-up costs for the site.
"Chuck brought this up when the city manager of Irvine was giving a presentation and she looked him right in the eye and said, 'The city of Irvine does not have any areas that need redevelopment,'" Campbell laughed. Smith insisted the clause be changed nonetheless, and it was. Irvine went on the form a redevelopment district shortly afterward but, thanks to Smith, the county didn't lose out on a share of tax growth.
Smith was also among the founders of the Westminster Community Theatre and designed the theater's lighting system.
Smith suffered from various ailments and died of natural causes at the Country Villa Murrieta nursing home.
Smith is survived by his wife, Nancy Smith; four children, Robin Summers, 59, of Denver; Jeff Smith, 51, of Murrieta; Stacy Munoz, 45, of Roundrock, Tex.; and Scott Smith, 39, of Gallatin, Ten.; and 11 grandchildren.
A memorial is tentatively scheduled for the Rose Center in Westminster on Sunday, Oct. 14, with details being finalized.

Hello Loic,
I think it's interesting enough to be used and see what happens. I
have seedlings growing and seeds planted using it. Crosses that I
pursue here are within the AB family and TB seedlings generally find
their way to the compost pile after a time. Probably stay around
longer than they should all too often.
Registration is a different issue, really. I believe the bloom is
worthy of being officially registered. It's in commerce under the
name and the name could be used to register another plant, couldn't
it? I think it's better for named plants in distribution to be
registered. That would be true for one with unknown parents or one
with an extensive family tree.
If, when they bloom, any of the seedlings are interesting I'd likely
post a photo on this forum. That would likely be all that resulted
from my use.

MONTOURSVILLE, Pa. – Beginning on Wednesday, March 20, Geisinger Medical Center (GMC) general surgeons Mohsen Shabahang, MD, and Mohanbabu Alaparthi, MD, will take appointments at the Geisinger-Lycoming clinic, 780 Broad Street, Ste. 4, in Montoursville.

"We know that surgical patients have many questions concerning their surgery and we are pleased to be able to meet our Lycoming County patients closer to home to assess their specific needs," said Dr. Shabahang, who is director of general surgery at GMC. "It will also be possible for us to perform some minor surgical procedures on-site too."
Geisinger's general surgery team provides a full range of both routine and complex general surgical services. Dr. Shabahang and Dr. Alaparthi represent surgical oncology, general surgery and complex abdominal wall expertise.

So last week on "V" can be summed up thusly: Ew. And this week seems to be following in those gross, gross footsteps. Several dead peace ambassadors are strung up bleeding at the threshold of the Visitors Visitors' Center. Sadly, none of them are Tyler, which simply means that they show hasn't gotten desperate enough to make a big ratings grabs yet. Fingers crossed for soon! Tyler starts tweaking at the sight of all his dead friends and decides to avenge their deaths by ransacking a church. Father Jack's to be precise. They trash the place until Father Travis finally turns up his hearing aid and confronts them. They run. Tyler being Tyler drops his phone and Father Jack finds it. He hands it to Erica, who cries. Then she sort of has a moment with the priest.
Chad Decker reports that the world's religious leaders are coming out against the Visitors, but the Catholics haven't made up their minds. Anna decides to help them… with Chad's assistance, of course. She saddles up Chad and heads to the Vatican forthwith. While there, Anna notices a ring on a Cardinal that she recognizes from her youth. He turns out to be a long-lost Visitor sent to earth to research emotions and the soul. Anna orders him back to the ship. There he declares allegiance to Anna's mother, so Anna dumps him at Diana's feet. He informs HIS queen that the soul is a wonderful beautiful blessing filled with unicorns and butterfly kisses. So Diana gives him an honor killing and pisses of Anna who wanted to torture him.
Erica has a new partner (it's the creepy guy from Burn Notice and Brothers and Sisters and Sons of Anarchy) and he is pretty sure that Father Jack is involved in the Fifth Column. They go to interview him, which is awkward, but Erica overacts to make up for it. Anna is also gunning for Father Jack, and while she's visiting the Vatican demands that they bar the clergy from speaking against the Vs. But, you know, nicely. Hahaha, not nicely. Then one of the priests breaks it to Anna that souls are immortal. And that without the soul we would be nothing more than animals and, thus, edible. Regardless, the Cardinals refuse to condemn the outspoken clergy. So Anna calls them out and vaguely threatens them and their entire belief system. Then she stages a laser light show and makes the Virgin Mary bleed blue blood. Obviously, the Vatican quickly changes their stance.
Everyone is looking for suspected Fifth Column terrorist Eli Cohen, and Father Jack offers to reach out to his church members to see who knows what. Cohen thanks him for the effort with a skinned V head on his pillow. (So… Cohen is a cat?) Father Jack sets up the meet, swallows a V tracking elixir, and heads off. The Fab Team follows him and storms the cabin. Everyone ends up at gunpoint until Eli Cohen points out that they're all on the same side, except for that the Fab Five won't kill "collaborators". But when Cohen tells them he knows the Vs want to breed with them, they give up the pretense and join up. They come up with a great plan to catch the guys responsible for the peace ambassador murders as well as someone to take the blame for Malik's murder. That evening Erica leads the FBI to Cohen's hideout, where they find Malik's remains. Hey show: Gross.
Also, Erica's new partner is reporting on her to the FBI bosses. Who saw that coming? Oh, all of you? Right.

Superfund Site: FLORIDA PETROLEUM REPROCESSORS, FORT LAUDERDALE, FL
Superfund Site Profile
The 1-acre Florida Petroleum Reprocessors site is located in Davie, Florida. It includes the area where an oil reprocessing facility operated from 1979 to 1992. EPA placed the site on the Superfund program's National Priorities List (NPL) in 1998 because of contaminated soil, sediment and groundwater resulting from facility operations. EPA and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) have investigated site conditions and taken steps to clean up the site in order to protect people and the environment from contamination. Site contamination does not currently threaten people living and working near the site. Both residents and businesses use the public water system for drinking water. Through ongoing removal actions, groundwater treatment and monitoring, EPA and FDEP continue to protect people and the environment from site contamination.

Simple design, great quality, good for everyday or dressing up. I love that it's double layer making it more unique.
This became my favorite everyday necklace. Just cannot leave the house without it : ) Good quality - doesn't turn green or rusty, still shiny after 3 months of everyday wear (and sweat)!
I really love it, that is good! It looks like smaller than in the picture,but it is really great in summer, easy design, and beautiful!!!!!
Nice layered necklace. I expected it to be larger though but it is delicate and simple.
I really like this necklace. It's just a little smaller than I expected. But overall, it's good quality not cheap look.
