John Mayer opens up about his duet with Katy Perry, collaborating with Frank Ocean & more
Listen to John Mayer on iHeartRadio
John Mayer's highly anticipated sixth studio album, Paradise Valley, was released earlier this week, and when he sat down with iHeartRadio to talk about the project, he didn't hesitate to discuss everything from working with Don Was again, an unexpected collaboration with Frank Ocean, and the song he recorded with on-again girlfriend Katy Perry. Check out highlights from the interview below.
Buy Paradise Valley from the Amazon MP3 store
"I went into the studio with Don again, Don Was, and I was absolutely reignited to start another record and record it. I don't wanna say it happened quickly; it happened very naturally in a period of time. I wouldn't have put it out if it wasn't this authentic record that it ended up being . I'm not thinking about records anymore in terms of wowing people. I've run out of the need to wow, but now it's something a little deeper, hopefully giving someone a record that becomes a part of their experience in life."
On collaborating with Frank Ocean on "Wildfire":
I love it. I love that he's on it. I love that some people are going, 'Wow, I don't expect that, I don't know what to think about it,' but ultimately everyone comes around on it cause it's such a great song. I reached out to him I said 'Hey I'm in the studio all day everyday for the next month, come by whenever you want.' He came by and played me some of his stuff and I played him some of my stuff and I said, 'Look, anything you wanna play on, grab a keyboard or sing on it.'
On writing "Who You Love" with Katy Perry:
"I had this idea for a while actually. Songwriters carry this little bag with them, metaphorically, that just have years and years worth of ideas and then sometimes you take it out and you just... 'Is today the day for it? Is this year the year for it?' The idea of 'you love who you love' was something that had always been sort of cycling around in my mind. I had this great verse and this great chorus and I went, 'Oh wow, this is really cool.' I actually tossed it off for a moment, and Don Was made me play it back again and goes, 'Listen, there's something here.' And I went 'Yeah, its pretty cool.' Sometimes you need someone to tell you it's cool. I thought, 'Wow, this is something that I should at least run by Katy.' Really to be honest, run it by Katy Perry. There's sort of a difference.
"I'd be so nervous to do it if I didn't feel like it was actually a really great thing, and so I played it for her and she really got it right off the bat... she started singing along with the record, and with this little demo - it was just a verse and a chorus - and it was really fun. Believe it or not, I really enjoyed the exercise. You don't normally get to hear from the girl you're writing a song to. You don't normally get to hear it from her on the same song, so I really enjoyed what her point of view was gonna be when she wrote it.She wrote this killer verse from her point of view, and it's really deep. We get four lines each, but she's a great writer and can get those four lines. There's a lot of pressure when you date somebody from what your friends say, or what you think you think, what you think you feel you know."
On returning to the stage:
"It's great. I probably have done more dreaming about being a musician on stage in the last three years then I did even before I became a musician, because I didn't know what it held for me.
"I think one way or another, there's something that happens in your life that slows you down a bit and makes you rethink your approach to things. I was forced, literally forced, to take a knee. I had nothing else to do but think about who I wanted to be - you'd be surprised how many days and nights I spent listening to music. I got really moved again by musicians and music and singers. I'd go to shows and go like, 'Am I crying because this person is singing?' Instead of me standing there with my arms folded going 'huh, classic flat six flat seven one,' I was really moved by it. Then all of a sudden you get this second chance... I'm a firm believer that you really can continue to shape your philosophy so that everything you do is continually in the moment so that you don't get tired, you don't get bored."
Paradise Valley is available now.

Hey, is this true that BT4 is gonna be based on Ubuntu...
saw the following info on this link
(i dont have right to post links before i have 15 posts, so please replace [dot] with a ".")
" Backtrack 4 Will be on Ubuntu?
There is a rumor floating around... Backtrack 4 Will be on Ubuntu
My thoughts:
Stability will be increased if BT moves to Ubuntu, as well as driver support (i would think) but many will tout this as the ultimate script-kiddie tool now. In my opinion it doesn't matter that much. Some like Chris Gates (hxxp://carnal0wnage[dot]blogspot[dot]com) might be disappointed, having the view of putting together your own distro gives you a skill much needed in infosec. I would think hard installs and something like wubi-installer.org might have cool applications we can all live with.
Information from the blog of Emanuele Gentili :
I talked with Mati Aharoni about new release now in development, and him say to me that has taken the decision to abandon slackware for choose Ubuntu in next BackTrack version (4).
For those who doesnt know Backtrack, It is a Linux distribution distributed as a Live CD which resulted from the merger of WHAX and the Auditor Security Collection. It takes advantage of SLAXs modular design and structure to enable the user to include customizable scripts, additional tools and configurable kernels in personalized distributions. The BackTrack project was created by Mati Aharoni and Max Moser (with updates provided by jayme) and is a collaborative effort involving the community.
BackTrack is the most Top rated linux live distribution focused on penetration testing. With no installation whatsoever, the analysis platform is started directly from the CD-Rom and is fully accessible within minutes.
Its evolved from the merge of the two wide spread distributions - Whax and Auditor Security Collection. By joining forces and replacing these distributions, BackTrack has gained massive popularity and was voted in 2006 as the #1 Security Live Distribution by insecure.org. Security professionals as well as new comers are using BackTrack as their favorite toolset all over the globe.
BackTrack has a long history and was based on many different linux distributions until it is now based on a Slackware linux distribution and the corresponding live-CD scripts by Tomas M. . Every package, kernel configuration and script is optimized to be used by security penetration testers. Patches and automation have been added, applied or developed to provide a neat and ready-to-go environment.
After coming into a stable development procedure during the last releases and consolidating feedbacks and addition, the team was focused to support more and newer hardware as well as provide more flexibility and modularity by restructuring the build and maintenance processes. With the current version, most applications are built as individual modules which help to speed up the maintenance releases and fixes.
Because Metasploit is one of the key tools for most analysts it is tightly integrated into BackTrack and both projects collaborate together to always provide an on-the-edge implementation of Metasploit within the BackTrack CD-Rom images or the upcoming remote-exploit.org distributed and maintained virtualization images (like VMWare images appliances).
Being superior while staying easy to use is key to a good security live cd. We took things a step further and aligned BackTrack to penetration testing methodologies and assessment frameworks (ISSAF and OSSTMM). This will help our professional users during their daily reporting nightmares.
Currently BackTrack consists of more than 300 different up-to-date tools which are logically structured according to the work flow of security professionals. This structure allows even newcomers to find the related tools to a certain task to be accomplished. New technologies and testing techniques are merged into BackTrack as soon as possible to keep it up-to-date.
No other commercial or freely available analysis platform offers an equivalent level of usability with automatic configuration and focus on penetration testing."

The White Sox have revamped their coaching staff for next season with the hiring of Robin Ventura as their manager and Joe McEwing as the third base coach. The Chicago Sun-Times reported last week that the White Sox are also interested in hiring Thome as the team's hitting coach. Jerry Reinsdorf, the chairman of the White Sox, has a very good relationship with Thome since his playing days on the south side and he would love for Thome to join the coaching staff.
The opportunity to be a coach has to be intriguing to Thome especially since his family lives in the Chicago area. However, the White Sox are not without their problem players from the offensive side of the ball. Adam Dunn and Alex Rios would be just some of the issues that Thome would need to address as a rookie hitting coach and he would also be surrounded by a coaching staff with other unproven coaches. All of these obstacles could be a recipe for disaster.
News came out yesterday that Thome is highly considering a return to the playing field in 2012. The 41-year old slugger would be entering his 22nd season next year and his 604 home runs rank him eighth on the all-time list. The market for Thome could be limited because of his inability to play a defensive position so his only role is to be a DH or a bat off the bench. Thome described the situation like this,
"I'll keep playing. I just need teams to call me. I can't go play in the backyard by myself. I don't know the demand for a 41-year old DH, but my passion is I want to continue to play."With Thome's desire to return to play and the White Sox desire to hire him as a coach, there could be the outside chance he would serve both roles with the team next season. Kenny Williams, the White Sox General Manager, considered naming Paul Konerko as the player-manager for their team during their recent search for a manager. This means the White Sox are open to the possibility of a player serving in a dual role for the team.
The Twins and Thome had a great relationship over the past two seasons. Ron Gardenhire worked with Thome to give him the rest he needed to be productive on the field and Thome was also able to be a clubhouse leader for the team. That being said, it seems as if Thome's time with the Twins has come to an end. In a recent phone interview, Bill Smith let Twins season ticket holders know that the club will be looking for more versatility on the bench next season.
In 93 games this season, Thome hit .256/.361/.477 with 15 home runs and 50 RBI. He is also only one season removed from a magical 2010 in which he batted .283/.412/.627 with 25 home runs. His age, inability to run, and lack of defensive versatility makes his options for teams very limited. Overall, his experience does make him a valuable asset to a coaching staff, but will a team be willing to have a limited DH on their 25-man roster? It worked well for the Twins and it's now time for another team to give Thome a final trip through the American League.

Matthews revived myth that terrorists succeeded in influencing Spanish election; suggested U.S. response would be "opposite"
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
In an August 3 discussion with HBO Real Time with Bill Maher host Bill Maher, MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews revived a much-repeated myth that the Spanish electorate decided to vote out the Populist Party in response to the Madrid train bombings in March.
Matthews described the rationale of Spanish voters as follows: "We'll bounce this current government because we're hit"; he suggested that terrorists might try to replicate their alleged success in Spain by attacking the United States just before the November election in the hope that the electorate would vote out President George W. Bush. But Matthews said Americans would have the "opposite" reaction to such an attack and would choose to "support the incumbent president."
From the August 3 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: If we face a terrorist strike before the election, say the week before, won't that -- it will cause us all to root for the unity of the country and to support the incumbent president, won't it?
MAHER: Well, I mean, first of all...
MATTHEWS: In other words, it is going to be the ironic thing that if the bad guys -- and they are bad if they attack us, obviously.
MAHER: Right.
MATTHEWS: Think that we're like Spain, and that will take them over the edge. We'll bounce this current government because we're hit. Americans are the opposite. We'll say, screw you. We're keeping this guy, right?
As Media Matters for America has noted, this is not the first time Matthews has suggested that Al Qaeda would prefer Senator John Kerry (D-MA) to win in November. On July 8, Matthews asked Senator John Breaux (D-LA) if Al Qaeda was "trying to get people to vote Democrat for president." Nor is Matthews the first to advance the speculation that the terrorists might attack the United States in order to affect the November election in favor of Kerry, as Media Matters for America has also noted.
As MMFA has previously noted, this speculation rests on the assumption that the March attack in Madrid in fact brought about the ouster of pro-Bush, Iraq war supporter Prime Minister José María Aznar, who lost to Socialist Party challenger Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero the week after the terrorist attack. But, as MMFA demonstrated, this assumption is dubious, notwithstanding its widespread acceptance by Bush administration officials and numerous mainstream media outlets. Regardless of the attack, the election would have been very close, with 90 percent of Spaniards opposing the war in Iraq, and with the European edition of Time magazine indicating that the election was a "dead heat" hours before the attack occurred. Other evidence suggests that the terrorist attacks may have had some effect on the outcome of the election -- but only indirectly and not in the manner that the terrorists purportedly intended. After the bombings, the Populist Party was greatly weakened by public accusations of a cover-up when Aznar and his government sought to blame the attack on regional Basque separatists, even after evidence of Al Qaeda's connection to the attacks surfaced.

Watching Educational Learning Videos Everyday, Is this a good habit?
My toddler, Cielo, watches educational learning videos everyday, especially during her feeding time. She really enjoys watching them, since the cartoon characters like Barney or Winnie the Pooh and Friends, foster a very fun and interesting way of learning the ABC's or counting the numbers. I am having a dilemma with her habit. Since she does not eat well without watching the said videos. Is this a good way of training my kid? Will this habit would not pose any harmful consequences? Many thanks for reading my post. All the best for everyone.

Hi lovemygirlcielogale,
The first thing I would do is look at what you want Cielo to do in the future. After all, everything you are training in her now, will have an impact on her future.
So right now, I would say that you are training her to want TV or some other external stimulation while she is eating her meals (this is different from snacks, I'm talking about regular meals).
When she is 6 years old, will you want her to eat with the family with a smile on her face? My guess is "yes", yet if you give her an appetite for TV during meal times, she will resent it and possibly throw a fit when you ask her to come to the table for a family meal.
Another thing to keep in mind is that studies are proving that people who eat in front of the TV eat more food without realizing it, sit for longer times than they would if they ate without the TV on, and end up having more challenges with their weight.
I have made it a point to have my children eat at the table almost all the time. The expectation I have set is that they are to come to the table for a meal when they are called. They all sit down with a happy face, eagerly awaiting their food.
I would encourage you to stop allowing Cielo to watch TV while eating. She is used to having the external stimulus, so one way to gradually help her learn to eat without watching TV would be to put some Barney or Winnie the Pooh music on. I wouldn't have the TV playing in the other room, because that would make her want to be there. But putting some children's songs on to play while eating would allow her to hear, but wean her from seeing (lower the stimulus).
If you don't have children's songs, you could put on some music that is calming or happy (not stressful). Eventually you would want to just put on some soft music that is very soothing. The more relaxed you and your child are, the better you will digest your food and absorb the nutrients the food is providing your body. The more nutrients in the body, the healthier you will be.
Once you've gotten her to a point where she will eat happily with just soft music on, you can start to wean her off of that, to get her to a point where she doesn't need music or TV in order to eat.
Some parents make the child's eating area "fun" for them, by providing their own fun plate or cup, but I would caution against this because you want your child to happily respond to your direction and sit at the table and eat with a smile on their face, not because they have a new plate or cup, but because they are happy to be at the table with you.
This does take dedication on your part, though. It means that meal times become a priority with you, and the two of you sit down together to eat. I would also do this with snacks while you are making this transition, and once she is doing fine eating away from the TV, you could do a snack as a treat once a week, but certainly not every day. TV and eating need to be separate activities. And if there's a time when you're not hungry, but your little one is, then you can always feed her at the table while you do something else in the same room.
Conversation between the two of you is really important. It will help her develop her vocabulary and her relational skills. Having meal times together fosters conversation.
Educational TV shows are fine every now and then. In fact, in our family, I would say that 90% of the programs our children watch are educational, and not just Barney and Winnie the Pooh. They also will watch cooking programs or "This Old House" (remodeling old homes) with us, and they've done this from the time they were babies.
If you're only developing an appetite in Cielo for children's programming (lots of colors, lots of movement/action) they will always want more and more and more stimulation. So limit the TV to an hour a day (if you can) and let her watch a cooking program with you (or let her sit and play with a quiet toy while you're watching the program) so that she learns how to sit quietly even if she's not being entertained.
One last caution I would mention is to be sure that the programs you watch that truly are not meant for children, are watched when she is in bed or not around. If you are exposing her to bad attitudes or bad words (which, unfortunately are in way too many programs and commercials) you may find that she starts to pick up on those attitudes and words.
Surround her with experiences and people that you want her to emulate, and be sure you are protecting her from things that you don't want her to emulate. This has worked very well for us and we have received many compliments on our children's behavior over the years (even when they were 2, they would sit in a restaurant quietly while we had a meal).
Please let me know if you've found this helpful and if you have any further questions.
Warm Regards,

Groin pain refers to discomfort in the area where the abdomen ends and the legs begin. This article focuses on groin pain in men.
Pain - groin; Lower abdominal pain; Genital pain; Perineal pain
In males, the terms "groin" and "testicle" are sometimes used interchangeably. But what causes pain in one won't necessarily cause pain in the other.
Common causes of groin pain in men include:
Home care depends on the cause. Follow your health care provider's recommendations.
Call your health care provider if:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, such as:
The physical examination will include examination of the groin area. A hidden hernia can be found by inserting one finger into the upper part of the scrotum while you cough. Coughing raises the pressure in the abdomen and pushes your intestine into any hernia opening.
Tests that may be performed include:

This is about KDE version 32 and 64bit on a LiveCD as I have not chosen to install to my HDD yet, pending on how these questions are answered/solved.
Also I was not sure where to post this so I just put it here.
Alright lets start; I have burned KDE 64 bit and 32 bit onto DVD's and done an initial skin over them both. First off when at the grub screen I see quite a few options, however I noticed that on the 64bit the first option is default text mode...however a few more options down and there it is again. I noticed however that on the 32bit this is No DRM Drivers.
Question 1: Is this a typo? Is the second text option on the 64bit KDE grub screen supposed to say No DRM as it does on the 32bit?
Question 2: What is the DRM driver? I have read two definitions from google but I would like a link or quick explanation of what it is as I am unclear.
Next I noticed that on BOTH the 64bit and 32bit KDE versions that the first option when loading goes to the normal screen of the window and then halfway through the boot output it flashes black....and then goes to JUST text while the No DRM(32Bit)/Second Text(64Bit) options flash to black, but then go back to the original graphic screen of a smaller window with the BT5 graphics surrounding it. (Which is what led me to think that since they both act the same that the No DRM and Second Text option are the same thing).
Question 3: Is the way the OS starts up supposed to be the same in both the Default Text and No DRM option? With the bash window surrounded by graphics?
Lastly there is a problem with my WiFi connectivity/wicd network manager GUI, but only only on the 64bit version, what happens is once I boot it up and go to the network manager then go to connect to my AP it stalls at making sure that I am disconnected from all other connections, I also have the same problem when I click the disconnect tab on the wicd network manager GUI. What happens is it freezes, a few seconds later the light indicating my caps lock is on begins to flash, and then it reboots the machine. This ONLY happens on the 64bit as I've not had this trouble with the 32bit version of the KDE flavor.
Question 4: Is there a fix for this so I can connect to the internet via the 64bit? Or is it just that the 64bit versions are a bit...untested/buggy as hell?
REMEMBER!!! This is all on a LiveCD of each version of the KDE flavor, 32 and 64bit.
I have not chosen to install to HDD yet.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and answer my questions.

'Sharknado 2' Star Tara Reid Reveals Shark-Inspired Bikini Line
Photo: Sadao Turner/Ryan Seacrest Productions
By Kathleen Perricone
Tara Reid surprised one of her biggest — and most famous — fans on Friday's On Air with Ryan Seacrest: Daniel Radcliffe.
And not only did the Sharknado 2 star grace him with her presence, but she also brought along her Shark by Tara perfume, a mix of violet, mint, lemon and jasmine.
After Daniel left the studio, Tara stayed behind to chat about Sharknado 3 (and beyond) with Ryan and Ellen.
"It's crazy," she said about the phenomenon. "We never even thought 1 would come to 2. Originally, it was called Dark Skies, so I thought, 'It doesn't sound that bad.' Then all of a sudden, a week into the movie, they say it's going to be called Sharknado, I thought to myself, 'You've got to be kidding me' … They were like, 'Just trust us, it's going to work.' And in the end, it worked. They knew. It wouldn't have worked if it was Dark Skies."
Next up for Tara is a horror flick of a different variety, Charlie's Farm, which is also set to be turned into a trilogy.
"And I have a bikini line that's coming out as well," she says. "That will be coming out in about two months and that will be Shark by Tara Reid, as well. It has shark teeth all on it … it's hot! You're getting bit on the top."

Clark, Kenneth MacKenzie
Clark, Kenneth MacKenzie(Lord Clark of Saltwood), 1903–83, English art historian. After working with Bernard Berenson in Florence, Clark was keeper of the department of fine art at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (1931–34). From 1934 to 1945 he was the director of the National Gallery, London, and thereafter Slade professor of fine arts at Oxford until 1950 and from 1961 to 1962. He became chairman of the Arts Council of Great Britain from 1955 to 1960. Among Clark's outstanding writings are two studies on Leonardo da Vinci, The Drawings at Windsor Castle (1935, with Carlo Pedretti) and Leonardo da Vinci (2d ed. 1952); a study of the paintings of Piero della Francesca (2d ed. 1969); Landscape into Art (1949); The Nude (1955); Rembrandt and the Italian Renaissance (1966); and The Romantic Rebellion (1974). His cultural survey Civilisation (1970) is based on his popular lecture series for television.

The Emperor's New Clothes, summer edition
Originally, I was going to write about something else — Microsoft's "love" of open source, where invariably Mr. Godwin's theorem would have definitely come into play, and probably very early on — but I decided to shelve that blog post in favor of this one.
Yesterday, Bruce Byfield's essay — er, blog — is entitled "Ubuntu 10.10 Alpha: Slouching Toward Ubuntu GNOME." During the course of a pretty good look at the upcoming Maverick Meerkat, Bruce points out that the desktop is beginning to stray further from the original GNOME to something that Ubuntu is developing on its own. Which is fine, and kudos for the efforts, even though (in my opinion) it would be better if they went upstream in GNOME with whatever they produce, which doesn't seem to be happening.
So, stop me if you've heard this before. Bruce writes:
"These changes in Ubuntu GNOME inspire mixed feelings in many. Some think that Ubuntu should be praised for making innovations in the desktop, and probably some, such as Multitouch, will eventually find their way into mainstream GNOME and other desktops.
"Still others note that Ubuntu is introducing these changes unilaterally, rather through the GNOME project, and — even though the changes are available under free licenses – the company is not being a good community citizen by acting in this way."
So while firmly in the camp of "still others," I'll just wait patiently while the Ubunteros from the top down line up to either a.) make valid arguments against what Bruce wrote, or b.) start in on ad hominem attacks that have little, or anything, to do with the issue at hand. Or weigh in with something in between.
Also, I should start cleaning up the office for an upcoming visit by the celebrated Colonel Panik, who will be gracing Northern California in an upcoming trip in the near future.
Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.

dumb democrats and the mean republicans. Stop.
The Colonel, using the magic interwebs has downloaded the latest

ACURA SWEEPS THE ALMS PODIUM, LEADS EVERY LAP OVERALL IN HISTORIC PERFORMANCE ON BELLE ISLE STREETS SATURDAY Montagny, Rossiter Take AGR XM Acura To Manufacturer's Second Overall ALMS Win DETROIT-- The Acura American Le Mans...
Montagny, Rossiter Take AGR XM Acura To Manufacturer's Second Overall ALMS Win
DETROIT-- The Acura American Le Mans Series sports car program recorded many firsts Saturday in the Detroit Sports Car Challenge, the ninth round of the 11-race ALMS series, on the streets of Belle Isle.
In its 21st race in the highly-competitive, technically-advanced prototype division, Acura collected its first 1-2-3 overall finish, with the No. 26 XM Satellite Radio Andretti Green Acura ARX-01b car of Frenchman Franck Montagny and Englishman James Rossiter leading the way. The tandem of David Brabham and Scott Sharp drove the No. 9 Patron Highcroft Acura ARX-01b machine to second when Montagny bettered Brabham by 3.98 seconds at the checkered flag in the two-hour, 45-minute endurance contest.
In addition, the top-three finish was another first for Acura when the team of Simon Pagenaud and former Indy 500 champion Gil de Ferran took their No. 66 Panasonic ELS Surround Acura ARX-01b to the third position.
The final chip in the Acura jackpot was that the entire 104-lap race was led by an Acura sports car. Sharp led 49 laps, Pagenaud eight circuits and Montagny paced the final 47 laps.
The 1-2-3 finish moved Acura to a four-point lead in the LMP2 Manufacturers' Championship, and the second place for Brabham and Sharp closed the Patron pair to within four points in the drivers' title chase.
Brabham and Pagenaud had posted front-row clockings in Friday's qualifying and Sharp started the race in the Patron Acura from the pole. The Florida veteran never looked back at the drop of the green flag by bolting to a five-second lead on Lap 22. Pagenaud saved his mount and took the point on Lap 50 before pitting seven laps later. During a caution period, the strategy of the XM Acura team proved to be the key to the race.
Montagny made his final stop for fuel onlyand was ahead of the field when the green flag flew on the 62nd lap. The Le Mans veteran held off the challenges of Timo Bernhard in the No. 7 Penske Porsche and Brabham to secure the second victory for Andretti Green in ALMS competition. The XM team captured the 2007 12 Hours of Sebring, the first-ever race for Acura in the ALMS.
An earlier incident involving Luis Diaz in the No. 15 Lowe's Fernandez Acura ARX-01b damaged his and Adrian Fernandez' chances for a top finish Saturday.
FRANCK MONTAGNY (#26 XM Satellite Radio Acura ARX-01b): "The XM team had a great strategy today. They know the rule on changing the driver and I jumped in right at about 45 minutes [into the race]. James did a good job with car and I was able to race pretty well with the leaders. I had to get into position to pit for fuel only when the other leaders changed drivers, tires and fuel. It was tough to try and stay on the groove. It was easy to get pickup [rubber] on my tires. So I was able to use traffic to make a strong run at the end. We have been close to a win previously and we finally got it today. I feel good for the XM Acura team."
JAMES ROSSITER (#26 XM Satellite Radio Acura ARX-01b): "I got a good start and moved into third early. Then on the restart, I made a bold move inside of Simon [Pagenaud], but the car slid wide with the marbles. It took me four or five laps to get the rubber off the tires and I lost about five seconds. After that, the XM car was very good. Franck did a tremendous job taking the car home for the win. The last two races were tough for all of our XM crew. We thought we had the win at Road America and we were close at Mosport. So this win is a great feeling for everyone at Andretti Green Racing."
DAVID BRABHAM (#9 Patron Highcroft Racing Acura ARX-01b): "When I jumped in the car, we lost a couple of spots due to different strategies today. But the car was very good. I was able to move from fifth to second and get close to Franck. But it was very tough to move around some of the traffic without getting the marbles on your tires. So, I made a couple of strong attempts to push the car at the end, but it wasn't there. It was more important to calm down and get the points today. We are in a championship fight and points are a key. A great 1-2-3 finish for Acura today. Just fantastic."
SCOTT SHARP (#9 Patron Highcroft Racing Acura ARX-01b): "The Patron Highcroft team gave me a great car today. We were fast from the start. Then traffic hurt me a little bit. Simon was able to get by due to my tires being worn out. We ran a lot of laps with the Michelins. They were very strong. We ran more laps than normal before we stopped. I was trying to be clean and give David a strong car. This was an important event for points for the title run. And we moved within four points of the lead. Plus, Acura took the LMP2 Manufacturers lead today. It is great for all of the Acura teams."
SIMON PAGENAUD (#66 Panasonic ELS Surround Acura ARX-01b): "The de Ferran team gave me a great car today. Earlier in the race, I was sliding around a bit and I needed to get the tires warm. But after that, our Panasonic ELS Acura was very fast. I think we showed that this young team is getting better each race."
GIL de FERRAN (#66 Panasonic ELS Surround Acura ARX-01b): "It is great day for Acura to finish 1-2-3 in the class and 1-2 overall. We had a great car today. Simon was outstanding. The race came down to strategy. We were leading the race and really couldn't pit under the green-flag conditions. Some of the other teams played it differently and it paid off for them. We tried that type of strategy last week and we missed it by a second from a victory. Overall, I'm pleased with the performance of the team and the car. We are looking forward to the Petit Le Mans in another month."
ADRIAN FERNANDEZ (#15 Lowe's Fernandez Acura ARX-01b): "We don't know what happened. We think something broke on the car. We are not 100 percent certain but it is very disappointing."
LUIS DIAZ (#15 Lowe's Fernandez Acura ARX-01b): "It was a very bad day for me. At the exit of Turn Three I felt the car snapping on me and brushed the wall. I barely brushed the wall. I didn't do anything differently. I didn't lose the car or anything like that. I feel bad about this result and we will keep working very hard."

Yoga during pregnancy
I have been advised that doing exercises helps during labour. I have started some yoga exercises with the help of YouTube videos. I thought that yoga would be helpful since it helps with breathing. I found some positions to be difficult and I can't stretch much. Shall I continue with easy yoga positions or look for an alternative exercise routine?
26th November 2013 07:48 AM #2
Dear Emma,
You are right - being active and exercising during pregnancy helps you to have a healthy pregnancy and also means you are more likely to have a quicker, easier labour.
You should exercise at a similar level to your pre-pregnancy exercise regime, unless your doctor has advised you otherwise. You should avoid contact sports or anything which feels uncomfortable. It is best if you can attend a pregnancy yoga class as then you will have a trained instructor to guide you through the positions. An alternative sport which is excellent in pregnancy is swimming. Many women particularly enjoy swimming in the third trimester because the water takes the weight of the baby and you can move around easily.
I also wonder if you have considered taking a hypnobirthing class? Self hypnosis can help you to relax and 'go within yourself' during labour, turning off the conscious thinking side of the brain whilst you breathe through the surges (contractions). I found hypnobirthing helped immensely with my last labour. In hypnobirthing classes you are taught how to breathe through the surges.
Please do ask any further questions you have about this here.
Best wishes,

Hi Emma4life
I took Yoga classes every week during my last pregnancy and found them helpful in so many ways - physically, psychologically and emotionally. It is important that the Yoga poses you use are suitable during pregnancy, and what is safe and comfortable will change as your pregnancy progresses. For this reason, like LJ I recommend you attend a class.
Some Yoga centres run classes especially for pregnant women. Others will have instructors well versed in how to modify regular poses for pregnant women. I went to one such centre and while I was in a regular class (and one of only two pregnant women in a class of 20) the instructor always outlined alternative exercises for us where those being provided for other participants could be dangerous.
I hope you continue to enjoy Yoga and that you have a beautiful birth!

God Bless you and to your family....
yes it is very useful as it gives you more healthier pregnancy....and it makes you give birth easier.

It's important to always tell your instructor that you are pregnant or to take a yoga class specifically designed for pregnant ladies.

I think it is better if you attend yoga class for pregnant woman because they will teach you how to do it right. Yoga can help you to have a good breathing especially when your are laboring. There are some exercises that are for couples or married.

Lopsided leadership
Page Tools
A recent period of extended business travel reminded me of the importance of organisational leadership agility - of having senior lieutenants who can lead and manage whether you are in the office or not. Senior managers are critical to precise and prudent work execution.
When companies know the abilities and core characteristics of their leadership team, better decisions are made regarding their responsibilities, duties and futures. Given the various downsides of bad management, it is important that organisations purposefully consider, choose and cultivate senior managers.
Leadership consists of balanced strengths. However, most high performers have tendencies to develop what gets circumstantially rewarded. Good managers ensure balanced work environments and guard against lopsidedness.
Most up-and-coming managers excel in one or two specific work activities. As their strengths mature, it is only natural for companies to challenge them more in their areas of current successes. Prolonged focus, fire fighting, conditions, routines and rewards easily lead to the over development of specific skill sets, which can ultimately lead to whats known as the Peter Principle, where individuals are promoted beyond their capability.
Fatal characteristics
To avoid lopsided personnel, top-notch CIOs employ fatal flaw analysis to ensure more balanced development of managers and leaders. They have processes, people and policies to recognise overcompensating individuals and reassemble them into more balanced performers. Lopsided personnel development often leads to the following quickly recognisable manifestations:Bull in a china shop: Although valued for their initiative and drive, bulls are overconfident, brutish, too forceful and arrogant, narrowly focused and destroy more than they create.Gambler: While valued for their abilities to handle risk and ambiguity, gamblers tend to take on increasing levels of risk, bluff, play mind games, over-politic and hide critical activities.Hero: Although valued for their ability to jump in and salvage difficult situations, heroes procrastinate, seek individual glory, wait to be asked, rush in prematurely and quickly create crises.Meritocrat: While valued for their intellect, diligence and process-centricity, meritocrats gold-plate functions, stretch out schedules, add too much complexity, do not involve others, create unique situations, build difficult processes, automatically dismiss others, and tend toward a not invented here syndrome.Pessimist: Although valued for their extensive analytics and for planning multiple scenarios, pessimists tend to reschedule, downsize, renegotiate, ask for more resources, dumb down initiatives and repeat history.Rebel: While valued for their creativity, out-of-the-box thinking, and chartering new areas, rebels break all the rules, compromise values, avoid collaboration, create anarchy, deny responsibility, and fashion extenuating circumstances.
Although this list is not complete, experienced managers keep a watchful eye for unbalanced behaviours that are the result of uneven skill development, skewed mental models, one-sided value systems, polarisation tendencies or fear. Balanced, skilful leaders reward good behaviours, values and achievements.
Corrective actions
Increasing versatility is not about merely adding another (counterbalancing) skill. Personal agility requires having balance, thoroughly understanding multiple (sometimes apparently contradictory) skills and integrating them intellectually (the easy part), mechanically (into actions), and emotionally (the hard part). This is particularly true of CIO direct reports who must manage indirectly (as managers of managers) rather than directly to achieve results.
World-class CIOs measure top-notch employees to include personality, emotion and aptitude. Organisations must watch for high performers with fatal flaws. In addition, personality flaws that run counter to the organisations culture must be managed to converge with the group culture or expelled.
Although motivated and talented people are said to be four times more productive than average employees, CIOs must have purposeful strategies to increase organisational talent. They should avoid unrealistic expectations (employees must become superheroes) and be like me bias. They must build a human capital management centre of excellence to resource, re-engineer and reskill talent.
World-class management requires people to transform from being a mile deep (functional supervisors) to a mile wide (broadly based business leaders). In moving from an individual contributor to an executive, it is natural to become unbalanced or lopsided at times. Savvy leaders watch for imbalance and reward collaboration.
Experienced CIOs understand that one of their most important legacies is the management teams that they leave in place when departing, whether temporarily or permanently. To ensure positive legacies, CIOs must train, temper and test their direct reports.

Rounds 1-3:
6 Hours OTC
Rounds 4-15:
5 Hours OTC
If OTC time occurs during morning (i.e 12am - 8am), the pick must be in by 9am.
If the OTC time is not met, the next user may make their selection.
If there are mitigating circumstances that may prevent your selection, PM me (CentralFC) a list of players that would be reasonable options and a selection will be made for you based on need, value and players available.
Trades of selections are allowed.
Draft order was created via a random number generator (http://www.random.org/) with the numbers correlating to the position on the standings page on FleaFlicker. A screenshot of the draft outcome is available if needed.
If a player is placed on the IR and he is a
first or second round
selection, he may be replaced immediately by two consecutive selections (with the user's last selection in the draft being forfeited).
If a player is placed on the IR and he is a third or later round selection, he may be replaced immediately with one selection.
Inform me (CentralFC) of any trades. They will be updated in the "Trade History" section of this thread. The OTC time will end at the originally scheduled time.
Consult the "Previous Selections" section for a player's availability. Otherwise, a CTRL-F will allow you to locate a player's name within the thread to determine whether he has been drafted.

I will be posting this selection for BennyM2 who is still waiting for his account to be validated.
With the first selection in the 2012 Packer Forum Fantasy Draft, Mr. Rodgers' Neighborhood selects:
Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers
Obviously most will select a running back with the first overall selection, but I felt in a league this deep it was necessary to make a safe pick and take a guy who I know will play 16 games and throw the ball consistently. That Packers' offense won't regress, specifically with the increased role of Randall Cobb and a reemergence of sorts from JerMichael Finley. 45 touchdowns with 4,800 yards is within question again.

With the sixth overall selection in the 2012 Packer Forum Fantasy Draft, The Legacy of the Cheese selects:
Calvin Johnson, WR, Detroit Lions
2011 Statistics:
16 GP, 96 Receptions, 1,681 Yards, 16 Touchdowns
2012 Projected Statistics:
16 GP, 88 Receptions, 1,540 Yards, 15 Touchdowns
In the last four seasons, CJ has missed a combined three games. This early in the draft it's essential to grab quality talent that is on the field and it's apparent that CJ fits that mold. It'll be difficult to duplicate his 2011 performance, but with the potential rise of Titus Young drawing double teams away from Johnson, a steady amount of touchdowns will come his way.

With the seventh overall selection in the 2012 Packer Forum Fantasy Draft,
Darren McFadden RB Oakland Raiders
I know, riskiest pick of the Draft, but you know what? In a 16 team league I'm willing to take a chance on this guy. His upside is the top overall player in Fantasy and in just 13 games in 2010, he was the 6th overall RB. I'm banking on him finally staying healthy, similar to Stafford last season. If healthy for 16 games I'm probably looking at 2,000 total yards and 15+ TDs, is this finally the year he spends more time on the field than on the training table? I hope so.

With the 8th overall pick in the 1012 Packer Forum Fantasy Draft,
What Would Rodgers Do
Ryan Mathews, RB, San Diego Chargers
Mathews had over 1000 yards last year, averaged 4.9 ypg, and looked quite good while he was in action. With the departure of Mike Tolbert, those additional carries are going to have to go somewhere. With Mathews being the clear cut starter and bell cow back, it's hard to pass him up after a productive sophomore season.

With the 12th selection in the 2012 Packer Forum Fantasy Draft, the LeRoy Buttholes select:
Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots.
With the addition of Brandon Lloyd, the Patriots offense will instantly become vertical. Gronkowski and Hernandez, coupled with the slot threat of Welker, make the Patriots' offense one of the best in the league from an aerial perspective. Brady is known to be the most consistent quarterback in the league and that trend will continue in 2012. 40+ touchdowns and 4,800+ yards is a safe bet with the current league trend.

With the 15th selection in the Art of a Dynasty fantasy draft, BJs by Raji select...
Drew Brees
In my estimation, the best fantasy prospect still on the board. As many have said, in round 1 just looking for a guy who stays healthy and is guaranteed to put up numbers. Tempted to go with Newton, but this is most definitely a much safer selection.

The German Bundesliga has always been an entertaining league which is capable of producing quality teams and players. At this moment in time it has the world's most exciting, and arguably the best team in the world, Bayern Munich. Last season seen German elite teams Munich and Borussia Dortmund face off in the Champions League final. This was a brilliant showcase for the German Bundesliga and their teams to show how their league, although recently under the radar, is still one of the world's best leagues. Bayern are the reigning champions of Germany and Europe, so it's hard to argue with the importance of the German Bundesliga within world football. Bayern jerseys appear to be the most popular in Germany, and Europe right now.
