Participants will do 1 hour of exercise two to three times each week in a community setting for 1 year, while being supervised by a personal coach.
Active Comparator: 2
Self-exercise plan based on an individualized prescription after an initial fitness evaluation
Behavioral: Self-Help Exercise Program (HOME)
After a fitness evaluation, participants will be given an exercise prescription and recommendations for home-based, self-mediated progressive exercise. Participants will be expected to do 1 hour of exercise two to three times each week for 1 year.
Detailed Description:
Metabolic syndrome is a term that is used to describe a group of risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD). The risk factors include abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. People who live a sedentary lifestyle and do not get enough exercise are at risk of developing metabolic syndrome and CAD. Black Americans also have an increased risk of metabolic syndrome and CAD, particularly if they have a sibling younger than 60 years old who has premature CAD. Studies have shown that people who engage in regular, moderate intensity exercise can eliminate metabolic syndrome risk factors that can lead to CAD; however, many high-risk Black Americans do not take part in regular exercise. The purpose of this study is to compare a community-based, coach-led exercise program to an individual, self-led home-based exercise program to examine which program is more effective at reducing the metabolic syndrome risk factors that can lead to CAD in Black Americans.
This study will enroll Black Americans with metabolic syndrome who have a sibling with premature CAD. Participants will be randomly assigned (by individual) to either a community-based exercise program (C-FIT) or a self-help home-based exercise program (HOME). Participants in the C-FIT group will do 1 hour of exercise two to three times each week in a community setting and will be supervised by a personal coach or trainer for 1 year. Participants in the SELF group will undergo a fitness evaluation and will be instructed on how to exercise on their own. They also will be expected to do 1 hour of exercise two to three times each week for 1 year. Study visits will occur at baseline, Month 6, and Years 1 and 2. At all study visits, participants will undergo the following: a medical history review; physical examination; blood pressure measurements; blood collection; body measurements, including height, weight, and waist circumference; a treadmill stress test; a strength test; a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan to measure body fat; an echocardiogram to examine the heart; a flow-mediated vasodilatation test for brachial reactivity to measure vascular function; and questionnaires on diet, exercise habits, and self-efficacy.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Wall Street is optimistic about Wells Fargo (WFC), which is slated to report its fourth quarter results on Friday, January 11, 2013. Analysts project a profit of 89 cents a share, a rise from 73 cents per share a year ago.
The consensus estimate has dipped over the past month, from 90 cents, but it's still up from the consensus estimate of 88 cents three months ago. For the fiscal year, analysts are expecting earnings of $3.35 per share. A year after being $22.09 billion, analysts expect revenue to fall 3.6% year-over-year to $21.29 billion for the quarter. For the year, revenue is projected to roll in at $85.69 billion.
The company's net income has been increasing for three consecutive quarters. In the third quarter, net income rose 21.8% while it rose 17.1% in the second quarter and 13% in the first quarter.
The company's reported revenue has increased in the last three quarters. In third quarter, revenue rose 5.7% to $22.48 billion while the figure rose 2.3% in the second quarter from the year earlier and 3.9% in the first quarter.
The majority of analysts (63%) rate Wells as a buy. This compares favorably to the analyst ratings of its nearest 10 competitors, which average 50.8% buys. Analyst sentiment has improved recently, as the number of buy ratings has risen slightly over the past three months. Despite this, the stock price has fallen 1.3% to $34.77 from $35.23 since October 10, 2012.
Wells Fargo provides financial services in mainly wholesale banking, mortgage banking, consumer finance, equipment leasing, agricultural finance and commercial finance One of Wells' main competitors in the regional banks industry is U.S. Bancorp (USB).

The Local Records Committee was created by Chapter 40.14.070 RCW, which states:
"County, municipal, and other local government agencies may request authority to destroy noncurrent public records having no further administrative or legal value by submitting to the division of archives and records management lists of such records on forms prepared by the division. The archivist, a representative appointed by the state auditor, and a representative appointed by the attorney general shall constitute a committee, known as the local records committee, which shall review such lists and which may veto the destruction of any or all items contained therein."
WAC 434-630-040 assigns the following responsibilities to the Local Records Committee:
"The local records committee shall review lists of records submitted to it for destruction authorization and may veto the destruction of any or all items contained therein. The local records committee shall also review recurring disposition schedules recommended to it by agencies of local government and may veto, approve, or amend such schedules. Approval of a schedule or amended schedule shall be by unanimous vote of the local records committee members."

User control development is very simple for those who have some experience in ASP.NET. Treeview is a control that exists in ASP.NET. Basically it is used to create Data Tree. It can be used to build data tree up to infinity against Parent/Child data table.
In this demonstration, I will show how to create a tree view user control in ASP.NET that will build data tree from parent/child relational data table by some properties settings.
In the above table structure, IsActive is a bit field that is only used if you want to activate or deactivate that record. By default, it is active by giving value 1 while inserting each record into this table.
Insert some parent and related child data in the Department table. You may follow the picture given below:
Let's see how we can find child records under a parent records in SQL table in this demonstration Department table. It may vary in your case. You also need to identify parent records. Actually record is a individual Department here. Individual department may have child department in that case hierarchically TOP Department is parent department or record for hierarchically immediate down department or record. Hierarchically down department or record is called child for hierarchically immediate up department. This is parent-child relationship(hierarchic). By this mechanism, there are infinite number of parent-child records you may have in a table that has a structure like the above department table. This relationship maintained by self join within table between primary key and parent key for each records in this case each department.
You can find top most parent in a hierarchy by checking null in parent Id column. And for our department table, it will get by the following SQL.
SELECT * FROM Department WHERE Departmentidparent IS NULL
Output for the query:
You can find child records for a parent by following SQL query:
SELECT * FROM Department WHERE Departmentidparent=1
The result is:
We will do the above SQL operation in our control creation in code to build tree view of parent/child relational records.
Add the following code for creating some properties in code-behind page of control so that will be configured from web page which will use this tree view user control. These properties are for:
#region Property public DataTable DataSource { get; set; } public String DisplayMember { get; set; } public String ValueMember { get; set; } public String ParentMember { get; set; } public String KeyMember { get; set; } #endregion
Add methods in code-behind page of control. To populate parent/child relational data in tree view control, you need to write recursive method in the following code. GetChildNode is the recursive method that will call till parent child relationship exists in data source against a parent id as parameter. PopulateTree is the starting point for recursive method GetChildNode. Actually PopulateTree starts recursion by calling GetChildNode with parent id as parameter. Remember parent id is the primary key for the current row.
GetChildNode method builds a collection of Tree Node Collection up to last child and returns the tree node collection to PopulateTree so that it can bind to Tree View control.
It is find child by filtering data source build into it with making a criteria for patient id.
CommonLoad is a method for calling PopulateTree method. Finally, called by load event.
Add PopulateTree method in code-behind page of web user control. First, you need to check availability of parent/child relational data in data source.
private void PopulateTree(TreeView objTreeView) { if (DataSource != null) { } }
Looping all records by the foreach loop from top to bottom.
foreach (DataRow dataRow in DataSource.Rows) { }
Now checking first parent record in data source. So for all records traversing from top to bottom, so first parent is which, that has parent member value null.
if (dataRow[ParentMember] == DBNull.Value) { }
Add first parent in the tree view as a root node.
TreeNode treeRoot = new TreeNode(); treeRoot.Text = dataRow[DisplayMember].ToString(); treeRoot.Value = dataRow[ValueMember].ToString(); treeRoot.ImageUrl = "~/Images/Folder.gif"; treeRoot.ExpandAll(); objTreeView.Nodes.Add(treeRoot);
Now let's create a recursive method and we will back in PopulateTree after finishing the recursive method GetChildNode. We all know that recursive is a method that can be called with itself until a condition is met. GetChildNode is a recursive method like that but it takes a parameter that is the parent member to find child under that parent and later it will pass by PopulateTree method. Finally this GetChildNode method returns a Tree Node Collection which is the collection of all parent nodes and related child nodes under parent node.
private TreeNodeCollection GetChildNode(long parentid) { }
Now get into the GetChildNode method. Create a TreeNodeCollecton local variable so that temporarily you can hold the nodes collection and finally you can return it.
TreeNodeCollection childtreenodes = new TreeNodeCollection();
Find the child record against the parameter that is parent member. For that, you need to filter data source that will set by DataSource property from web page. So you need to convert Data source property to DataView so that you can filter it by using data view's filter property. Note that Data table does not have filter property.
DataView dataView1 = new DataView(DataSource); String strFilter = "" + ParentMember + "=" + parentid.ToString() + ""; dataView1.RowFilter = strFilter;
After successful filter, you will get only children under the parent member that have passed as parameter. Now task to add these child nodes under the parent that have come as parameter.
TreeNode childNode = new TreeNode(); childNode.Text = dataRow[DisplayMember].ToString(); childNode.Value = dataRow[ValueMember].ToString(); childNode.ImageUrl = "~/Images/oInboxF.gif"; childNode.ExpandAll();
While adding each child node, you need to check child nodes for it by calling recursively GetChildNode method with a parent id as a parameter. In this case, child record primary key is the parent id. If child nodes are available, then add these to as child under node that is currently parent.
foreach (TreeNode cnode in GetChildNode(Convert.ToInt64(dataRow[KeyMember]))) { childNode.ChildNodes.Add(cnode); }
Lastly, add these nodes to TreeNodeCollection.
Finally, when traversing has been completed, then return TreeNodeCollection.
return childtreenodes;
Now let's come back to PopulateTree. So you get the collection of all nodes and you need to add all nodes to tree view. So far, follow the below code:
foreach (TreeNode childnode in GetChildNode(Convert.ToInt64(dataRow[KeyMember]))) { treeRoot.ChildNodes.Add(childnode); }
All together:
#region Method private void CommonLoad() { PopulateTree(treeView); } private void PopulateTree(TreeView objTreeView) { if (DataSource != null) { foreach (DataRow dataRow in DataSource.Rows) { if (dataRow[ParentMember] == DBNull.Value) { TreeNode treeRoot = new TreeNode(); treeRoot.Text = dataRow[DisplayMember].ToString(); treeRoot.Value = dataRow[ValueMember].ToString(); treeRoot.ImageUrl = "~/Images/Folder.gif"; treeRoot.ExpandAll(); objTreeView.Nodes.Add(treeRoot); foreach (TreeNode childnode in GetChildNode (Convert.ToInt64(dataRow[KeyMember]))) { treeRoot.ChildNodes.Add(childnode); } } } } } private TreeNodeCollection GetChildNode(long parentid) { TreeNodeCollection childtreenodes = new TreeNodeCollection(); DataView dataView1 = new DataView(DataSource); String strFilter = "" + ParentMember + "=" + parentid.ToString() + ""; dataView1.RowFilter = strFilter; if (dataView1.Count > 0) { foreach (DataRow dataRow in dataView1.ToTable().Rows) { TreeNode childNode = new TreeNode(); childNode.Text = dataRow[DisplayMember].ToString(); childNode.Value = dataRow[ValueMember].ToString(); childNode.ImageUrl = "~/Images/oInboxF.gif"; childNode.ExpandAll(); foreach (TreeNode cnode in GetChildNode (Convert.ToInt64(dataRow[KeyMember]))) { childNode.ChildNodes.Add(cnode); } childtreenodes.Add(childNode); } } return childtreenodes; } #endregion
Add the following event in code-behind page of control.
#region event protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (!Page.IsPostBack) { CommonLoad(); } } #endregion
So parent/child tree view web user control has been created. You can use as many as you want in the website by just setting some properties.
Add a Test page in the website project. And place the control in the aspx page of Test Page.
<%@ Register Src="~/Controls/ParentChildTreeView.ascx" TagName="VTSTreeView" TagPrefix="uc1" %> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <uc1:VTSTreeView id="VTSTreeView1" runat="server"/> </form> </body>
Add the following code in code-behind page of test page. And configure the tree view user control that you placed in this page. First, you need to create data source for under lining SQL table. In this case, Department table. And set the following properties for VTSTreeView1 control. like,
VTSTreeView1.DataSource = dataSet.Tables[0]
VTSTreeView1.KeyMember =DepartmentId
VTSTreeView1.DisplayMember =Name
VTSTreeView1.ValueMember = DepartmentId
VTSTreeView1.ParentMember = DepartmentIdParent
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (!Page.IsPostBack) CommonLoad(); } private void CommonLoad() { using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings ["ApplicationServices"].ToString())) { SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter ("SELECT * FROM Department WHERE IsActive = 1 ", conn); DataSet dataSet = new DataSet(); dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet); VTSTreeView1.DataSource = dataSet.Tables[0]; VTSTreeView1.KeyMember = "DepartmentId"; VTSTreeView1.DisplayMember = "Name"; VTSTreeView1.ValueMember = "DepartmentId"; VTSTreeView1.ParentMember = "DepartmentIdParent"; } }
Run the application. And you will get the following output in browser:
This demonstration will help you to build applications for Parent-Child (hierarchical) relational data.

Through this entire 18-month ordeal with my leg injury, I've had two MRIs and seen about a dozen physical therapists. The thing I'd never done was see an orthopedic surgeon, which is someone who specializes in diseases and injuries to the body's musculoskeletal system.
On June 26, I finally saw an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in maladies of the knee and hip. After one X-ray and a short examination, this M.D. gave me some crushing news: I have a genetic defect in my right hip joint/socket area and the condition is so bad that surgery would not fix the problem. He said running will make the problem worse and whether I run or not I will develop severe arthritis in my hips and will be needing a whole new hip in the next 10 years or so.
Running career: over.
At least that's what the doctor told me. I'm going to get a second opinion. Believe that. And since I still, oddly, don't have any pain accompanying such a macabre diagnosis, I'll continue to run here and there; every other day for short distances instead of everyday. In some recent runs I've been doing 3 minutes on, 30 seconds off. With this type of slow interval running, maybe I can get in 15 to 20 miles a week – if I'm lucky.
But clearly, the writing is on the wall. No amount of stretching or strengthening my hip is going to get me out of this bind. My competitive running career is over – unless this really really really smart doctor is wrong.
The Doctor Said What?
The scientific name for what I have: Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) and labral tears; and hip dysplasia. In the past I never thought to get an X-ray because 1) I wasn't in pain, 2) The MRIs showed nothing and 3) The dozen or so physical therapists who examined me thought what was wrong with me was fixable.
I was referred to the orthopedic surgeon by a friend whom I'd run with occasionally. She was experiencing the same symptoms as myself, but was in a ton of pain and was facing surgery to repair her hip. She too had been diagnosed with FAI.
So you're asking – FAI is a condition effecting my hip joint characterized by abnormal contact between the femoral head (hip ball) and hip socket. This abnormal rubbing – or impingment – of my hip ball and hip socket has caused small tears to my labrum, he said. (Well, the X-ray did not actually show that I have a torn labrum, but the doctor said, "I bet you 10 cents over a dollar that your labrum is torn.) I can't remember everything the doctor said, but I do remember him saying that the FAI in my case is so bad that surgery would not help.
Hip dysplasia is the condition I've inherited, he said. It is basically an acquired deformation or misalignment of my hip joint (and might also be causing the FAI). Hip dysplasia is why I have difficulty rotating my right hip inwards (little or no internal hip rotation) and it is why certain hip exercises are very painful.
I saw the X-ray comparisons of my right and left hip and could clearly detail the deformities. As I said earlier, I will get a second opinion to confirm this diagnosis. But this development makes sense and helps me answer a lot of questions I've had about my running over the years: the weird cramping episodes, the sense that during some runs my right leg was disconnected from my body.
Running is Joy
From the time I first started running in 2004 until early 2010, I saw improvement in my running times. Each workout felt better and better. I was PRing with every other race it seemed. Then, the improvement slowly stopped and I began regressing. It took greater effort to achieve the times and paces of yesteryear.
Being diagnosed with a stress reaction on the left side of my pelvis in early 2011 was the beginning of my problems. I went from 40 to 50 mile weeks to no running at all by the end of 2012. And as a man in my 40s, this is supposed to be the prime of my running life. So I knew something was wrong. I just knew it.
And now I know. Finally, I know.
So, I'd be less than truthful if I didn't say I am pretty devastated by all of this. I know there is biking and swimming and other cross-training activities I could do. But there is nothing like a good run. Since I laced up my first pair of running shoes, I've gone through a divorce, lost jobs, been unfriended and unfollowed; but running has been the one constant, feeding me daily endorphins and giving my mind an outlet to think through the day's problems. Running has provided me with a social currency that's lead to countless friendships and trips to faraway places to run marathons.
Running was the inspiration for 5ksandcabernets.
I'm probably not as religious or God-fearing as my mom would like, but I truly believe the old saying that when God closes one door, he opens another.
Right now, I'm looking for that door.

BEULAH, Mich. (AP) — A northern Lower Michigan woman charged with attempted murder in the carbon monoxide poisoning of her autistic 14-year-old daughter has waived her right to a probable cause hearing.
Authorities say they found Kelli Stapleton and her daughter Isabelle unconscious Sept. 3 in the family's van in Benzie County's Blaine Township in an apparent murder-suicide attempt.
Kelli Stapleton was scheduled for a preliminary examination Thursday, but the 45-year-old waived the hearing during a brief appearance before District Judge John Mead in Beulah.
The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/Ju7c2Z ) a trial date wasn't set.
Stapleton's blog had chronicled the challenges her family faced caring for Isabelle, who has severe autism and sometimes had violent outbursts.
Stapleton's lawyer, Brian Johnson, declined to comment on the decision to waive the probable cause hearing.

Griffin, Williams and Kaman lead Clippers to rare road victory
Blake Griffin had 17 points and 15 rebounds and the Clippers had more offensive options than Charlotte in a 92-87 victory over the Bobcats on Monday night that matched teams missing their leading scorers.
With Eric Gordon out again because of wrist problems, the Clippers got 17 points from Mo Williams, and 16 points and 10 rebounds off the bench from Chris Kaman in their third consecutive victory.
The Clippers started a five-game trip with a rare road victory — they improved to 6-25 away from Staples Center. They also moved to 5-16 without Gordon.
Charlotte fell to 1-5 since trading Gerald Wallace and lost their second in a row since Stephen Jackson was lost because of a strained hamstring.
Gerald Henderson scored 20 points and Boris Diaw added 15 of his 19 points in the first half for the Bobcats, who have dropped a season-high five in a row.
Eric Bledsoe hit two 3-pointers and Randy Foye added another in a 15-4 run to give the Clippers a 74-67 lead early in the fourth quarter. The Bobcats, struggling to find consistent scoring, got to 89-85 before Bledsoe hit one of two free throws with 18.2 seconds to put it away.
There's little margin for error with the Bobcats these days after owner Michael Jordan traded the former All-Star Wallace for future draft picks. Charlotte couldn't overcome a 4-of-16 shooting performance from point guard D.J. Augustin to fall to 11/2 games behind idle Indiana for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
He was in his second game back after missing 18 with a sprained right wrist when he aggravated the injury in Saturday's win over Denver. Coach Vinny Del Negro said Gordon suffered no serious damage, but he would likely miss at least the rest of the Clippers' road trip.
The Clippers didn't need him with Griffin overcoming a slow start and Charlotte coach Paul Silas' decision to put the smaller Dominic McGuire on him instead of Diaw.
Griffin hit five of 11 shots, but was 7 of 8 free throws for the Clippers, who got to the line 29 times in snapping a three-game losing streak in Charlotte.
But these undermanned Bobcats look nothing like the team that made the playoffs last season.
Jackson, who aggravated an old injury last Friday against the Lakers, was still limping at the morning shootaround but said he'd try to do a little in practice Tuesday. He wouldn't rule out playing Wednesday against Chicago, although Silas was more cautious.
Silas was more confident Wednesday could mark the return of forward Tyrus Thomas, who missed his 23rd straight game following left knee surgery. Thomas is scheduled to practice in full Tuesday if he's cleared by doctors.
Charlotte desperately needs bodies, especially after guard Matt Carroll was sidelined in the second quarter with a sprained left ankle.
The lone bright spot early was Diaw, who had shot 4 of 23 from the field in the last three games prompting Silas to say, "He's not shooting well at all, he's not rebounding, nothing."
Diaw hit six of eight shots in the first half, but faded after halftime along with the rest of the team as Charlotte has its longest losing streak since dropping seven in a row early last season.

The U.S. Supreme Court today delivered a knock-out punch to the last major court challenge to the use of class action waivers in consumer arbitration agreements. In American Express Co. v. Italian Colors Restaurants, the Court reversed the Second Circuit's decision that the class action waiver in an arbitration agreement entered into by merchants who accept American Express cards could not be enforced because it would effectively preclude them from asserting federal antitrust claims against American Express.
Writing for the 5-3 majority, Justice Scalia flatly rejected the merchants' attempt to create a "vindication of federal statutory rights" exception to the landmark ruling in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion that class action waivers in consumer arbitration agreements are valid and enforceable even if some claims might "slip through the legal system." The ruling means that plaintiffs' class action attorneys will no longer be able to argue that there is an exception to Concepcion based upon the alleged inability to prove a statutory claim because it is too expensive to do so in an individual arbitration.
As we predicted after attending the February 27, 2013, oral argument, the Court emphasized that federal statutory claims are subject to arbitration unless Congress has expressly said they are not. It found no indication that Congress intended to exempt the federal antitrust statutes from the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA).
The Court confirmed that Concepcion "established… that the FAA's command to enforce arbitration agreements trumps any interest in ensuring the prosecution of low-value claims." According to the Court, the FAA "favor[s] the absence of litigation when that is the consequence of a class-action waiver, since its 'principal purpose' is the enforcement of arbitration agreements according to their terms."
The plaintiffs in American Express had argued that language in earlier Supreme Court rulings provided a basis for courts to create a "vindication of rights" exception to Concepcion on a case-by-case basis. The Court, however, characterized that language as "dictum."
Ballard Spahr submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in support of American Express on behalf of the American Bankers Association, the American Financial Services Association, and the Consumer Bankers Association.
Attention will now focus on the consumer arbitration study presently being conducted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. On June 22, 2012, we submitted extensive comments on the study to the CFPB on behalf of the American Bankers Association, the Consumer Bankers Association, and The Financial Roundtable.
Earlier this month, as part of the study, the CFPB asked the Office of Management and Budget to approve the Bureau's plans to conduct a national telephone survey of 1,000 credit card holders as part of its study of the use of mandatory arbitration agreements in connection with the offering of consumer financial products and services. It is also seeking comments on its approval request, which must be submitted by August 6, 2013.

The steel is a mirror polished ATS 34 with red liners in between the Ivory micarta grip panels.
The knife feels like a well used bar of soap in the hand, it just melts inside the hand, very ergonomic
The swedge is sharpened and the blade is hollow ground and just 1/8 in thick which should make it a good slicer.
overall length is 7 1/4 in. with the blade measuring about 3 1/4 inches
A very unique piece

Everybody's got a theory about why people aren't going to the movies as much anymore. Well, not to toot my own horn, but all of them are dead wrong. I, dear reader, shall enlighten you as to why people are staying at home and avoiding the movie theater like the plague. Nope, it ain't the freaky sheepboys, the excruciating Jamster, the tired product, the ridiculous prices, or even the children.
Who's to blame, then?
Every time I have gone to the movie theater for over a year I have seen the trailer to this godforsaken Nic Cage movie. And I go to the movies a lot. Through no desire of my own I can now recite the entire trailer from memory now; a lovely trick that has gotten me banned from the break room, public transportation, and even my own synagogue no longer welcomes me with open arms because I have a Rain Man-like tendency to spout things like "Why would people throw things at you? You just read the weather."
The last time I went to the movies, by the time this l'homme du weather got winged with the chicken nuggets I went into convulsions and had to be dragged from the theater while loudly pleading with Nic Cage not to forget the tartar sauce this time around. He still forgot.
That's why I don't go to the movies anymore. It's why you go to the movies less, even if you didn't know that was the reason. Sure, you think it's because you can't find a babysitter, or because having to choose between Just Like Heaven and The Skeleton Key ain't no choice at all. But it's The Weather Man trailer. Deep down in your brain, you know that Michael Caine is just waiting for you at the cineplex, dying to wax philosophically that doing the hardest thing and doing the right thing is often the same thing.
Drew originally posted this babble at Drew's Blog-O-Rama, where he can be usually be found kvetching about movies and pop culture. He's also spent almost ten years (!) providing free movie and television scripts online at Drew's Script-O-Rama. Because really, what the world was lacking was another whiny bastard who fancies himself a witster, and how could society truly function without free access to scripts like Superman Lives or Mean Girls transcripts?

Despite reports to the contrary, a league source told Scout.com Wednesday
morning that the Buffalo Bills have made a new contract offer to DT Darwin Walker who they acquired via trade back in March.
Walker wants a new deal and his rights would revert back to the Philadelphia Eagles should he not report to the Bills by August 5. The Eagles would send a
sixth-round pick in next year's draft to Buffalo should he not show up by the
designated date. Walker has two years left on his contract with base salaries of $1.3 million (2007) and $1.4 million (2008). Buffalo starts training camp on Thursday.
Philadelphia made the decision earlier this year that second-year DT Brodrick Bunkley would move into the starting lineup so if Walker is returned to the Eagles, he
would be traded or cut.

Co-Operative Punishment Cements Social Cohesion
Most current attempts to explain the evolution - through individual selection - of pro-social behavior (i.e. behavior that favors the group) that allows for cohesive societies among non related individuals, focus on altruistic punishment as its evolutionary driving force. The main theoretical problem facing this line of research is that in the exercise of altruistic punishment the benefits of punishment are enjoyed collectively while its costs are borne individually. We propose that social cohesion might be achieved by a form of punishment, widely practiced among humans and animals forming bands and engaging in mob beatings, which we call co-operative punishment. This kind of punishment is contingent upon - not independent from - the concurrent participation of other actors. Its costs can be divided among group members in the same way as its benefits are, and it will be favoured by evolution as long as the benefits exceed the costs. We show with computer simulations that co-operative punishment is an evolutionary stable strategy that performs better in evolutionary terms than non-cooperative punishment, and demonstrate the evolvability and sustainability of pro-social behavior in an environment where not necessarily all individuals participate in co-operative punishment. Co-operative punishment together with pro-social behavior produces a self reinforcing system that allows the emergence of a 'Darwinian Leviathan' that strengthens social institutions.

Firstly, thanks for a great community with lots of helpful people. I've been lurking around here for quite some time, but when I research one question ten new pops up. What I have gotten from all my research is that you need to know what you want, and you have to match every component to get what you desire. So basically what I'm saying is that after trying to figure everything out in this jungle of possibilities I find myself lost, and are in need for some direction.
Here are some of my prefrences and requirements:
1) Money is not an option for me, but I wouldn't want to pay twice as much for a setup which is only marginally better. ie I'm not spending $10k here unless I really need to.
2) Source will be a PC with all my ripped flac CDs. I have Asus Xense Essence ST installed, and can use the coaxial output, USB or even change the soundcard to supply an external source.
3) I mainly listen techno, trance, electronica and drum & bass. My optimal headphone system would have deep bass, punch and control in the midtones and be soft in the upper frequencies, but not too soft (I do like details).
A couple of days ago I demoed a pair of JBL K2 ($30,000) powered by a pair of Mcintosh mc1 2kw (~$25,000 each), sourced by a squeeze box and a DAC. If anyone has heard these, they have the qualities I'm after (in a pair of headphones, haha). They do however lack a lot in the lower spectrum, but that can be fixed by a sub or two.
So what do you guys think would be a great combo for me, what should I look into?

Very Lemony Chicken ~ Rao's Famous
If you like lemon, I believe you will love this recipe as much as I do.
The recipe is from "Rao's Cookbook; Over 100 years of Italian Home Cooking". Although I've had this cookbook for a few years, I admit I haven't cooked from it much. However, this is one of the recipes I have made a number of times.
If you are not familiar with Rao's original restaurant in New York City, and now also in Las Vegas, you may like to visit their website:
Don't let the long broiling time put you off; I move the oven rack down so the chicken is about 5 or 6-inches from the broiler element to allow for longer, slower broiling without burning. That deep brown skin is what adds another level of flavor to this dish.
Rao's recipe calls for chicken halves, but I usually just choose breast halves and thighs when I make this.
The procedure is simple for such flavorful results; first you broil the chicken slowly, then cut the chicken into smaller pieces and toss in the lemon sauce then broil for a few more minutes while you reduce the remaining lemon sauce a bit, to be served at the table.
With a fresh harvest of Meyer Lemons from my potted trees, I knew just how to use a number of them. I used half Meyer and half tart lemons for a bit of a change.
Also, I reduced the recipe by half, so I only needed a cup of lemon juice, not two cups. I use dried oregano as the recipe calls for, and I always add some fresh oregano from the herb garden as well, it intensifies the scent of the dish very nicely.
Rao's Famous Lemon Chicken
Pollo al Limone
Two 2 and 1/2 - 3 lb. broiling chickens, halved
1/4 C. chopped Italian parsley
Lemon Sauce:
2 C. fresh lemon juice
1 C. olive oil
1 T. red wine vinegar
1 and 1/2 t. minced garlic
1/2 t. dried oregano
salt and pepper (to taste)
To attain maximum heat, preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes before using.
Broil chicken halves, turning once, for about 30 minutes or until skin is golden-brown and juices run clear when bird is pierced with a fork.
Remove chicken from broiler, leaving broiler on.
Using a very sharp knife, cut each half into about 6 pieces (leg, thigh, wing, 3 small breast pieces).
Place chicken on a baking sheet with sides, of a size that can fit into the broiler.
Pour Lemon Sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well.
If necessary, divide sauce in half and do this in two batches.
Return to broiler and broil for 3 minutes.
Turn each piece and broil for an additional minute.
Remove from broiler and portion each chicken onto each of 6 warm serving plates.
In the meantime, pour sauce into a heavy saucepan.
Stir in parsley and place over high heat for 1 minute.
Pour an equal amount of sauce over each chicken and serve with lots of crusty bread to absorb the sauce.
Whisk together juice, oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Whisk or shake vigorously before using.
This time I served it family-style rather than plating individually; I served it with stir-fried Broccoli, garlic and pinenuts and some cous cous.
Thank you Carol for reminding me about making this again!

As I promised, I'll post a little about the dishes that I us in the photos as some readers have asked me to do.
These are from Varages; the others with the same pattern that I featured the other day have green rims; as you can see these are blue and white.
I don't have complete place settings; just the dinner and salad/dessert plates, but these mix easily with my other blue and whites.
And the large serving bowl as shown in the photos; I get a lot of use out of this size.
I understand this pattern is discontinued now, I had never seen them except on the secondary market.
I found these a few years ago, brand new, on ebay. I suspect they originally were from TJMaxx, Ross, or Homegoods.

Did you read my mind? I just printed Carol's recipe from the Gardenbuddies site about an hour ago. "Broil twice?" ... yeah, that could be a deal breaker with me, lol. But now I have a list of you waxing poetic over this lush lemony treat!
woodie, it's so good to "see" you in public, lol. The internet is such a friggin' strange place, lol.

But that's a work of fiction, and Carl Sagan didn't know what effect it will have any more than you, or I do. We explore and find new things. It's what we do, and this is no different. For every suit, manager, bean counter and pragmatist out there, there's also a visionary who doesn't really give a crap about all that and just wants to invent, innovate, explore, and discover.. just because they're wired that way. I for one am glad of that.

So am I, but Gallileo got threatened, Darwin got hostility, the Suffragettes got bullied and Semmelweis got ridiculed. Jesus got crucified. Gandhi and Martin Luther King got shot. So was Malala Yousefzai, a fourteen-year old girl, for insisting that girls should be able to go to school. Buzz Aldrin was accused, to his face, of faking the moon landing. Every visionary meets with resistance and often outright hostility. That should not stop us but we have to be prepared for that. And we do know this, actually, because we see it time and again in history. Heck, I see it in my work every day. People invest heavily in their worldview and beliefs for lots of important reasons and really hate it when these get threatened.
Every work of fiction is speculative, but based on how things work in reality. Carl Sagan thought really hard about how people would react to a First Contact. In fact, the book and the film are mostly about that rather than the contact itself. In the end, only a few indivisuals' lives are changed; the rest of humanity just cannot (yet) accept what has happened. Gene Roodenberry also gave it some thought from the alien's perspective with his notion of the Prime Directive: non-interference in civilisations that have not yet developed interstellar space travel. Why? Because they are not ready to deal with the implications yet. More speculation perhaps, but one that really resonates given how popular Star Trek has become. History again shows time and again that when two civilisations make contact, even with the best intentions, one of them (usually the less aggressive or less technological one) suffers and perishes. There is a reason why South American rainforest tribes tend to kill strangers on sight. There is a reason why Japan for most of its existence has led an isolationist policy. There is a reason why we have the Great Wall of China. I think you interpret this as my saying that we should not bother at all. I'm not saying that; I'm saying that you have to be prepared for it to take a long time before people can take new ideas on board. You can't bring democracy to Afghanistan or Iraq in a few years, can you? We're finding that out the hard way. Small moves, Pookey, small moves.

In order to function and survive in the world, we have to be able to predict and manipulate it. This in turn means that we have to have a sort of simulation in our head of how the world works. This can be viewed as a set of rules (pragmatic cause-and-effect ones but also social and moral ones), knowledge and beliefs that we start learning as soon as we are born. Initial beliefs are most simple and most fundamental and, because we learned them as very small children, mostly pre-verbal instincts rather inaccessible to adult rational thought. These form the foundations of ever more sophisticated and fine-grained assumption, beliefs and hypotheses which are increasingly verbal and rational. Of course this depends on just how verbal and rational you are as an adult. Language development is very important in this (which literacy can be a reflection of), as is emotional and intellectual intelligence.
Our brain does not strive for accuracy as much as for coherence. If we had to change our beliefs, rules etc. every instance that they are challenged by experience, we would live in cognitive chaos. Hence they would have to be disproved frequently and repeatedly. We will hang on to our beliefs; by and large they allow us to function and survive, they were hard-won, they make sense of our world, our life, ourselves and they give structure, comfort and protect our fragile ego. We don't give them up easily because we don't like to be in cognitive free fall. So we will generally only perceive what fits our beliefs, not what contradicts them, and of course most beliefs we hold will in effect be self-fulfilling prophecies: they cause us to behave in ways that result in outcomes that reinforces them (beliefs, or memes, follow the rules of natural selection too). This makes good sense: even science demands the replicability of results before a hypothesis is accepted. But it also means that changing beliefs is hard work, even if they don't work so well (for a given value of not working so well --people invest in suffering too, if it makes sense to them). People will find it hard to integrate an idea that requires a radical change in their core beliefs, and get quite discomfited and even upset and angry when they have to. We see a grieving process: shock, denial, disbelief; then anger and hostility; them bargaining and negotiation; then a spell of despondency and despair ("all that I believed is untrue! Life is devoid of meaning now!"); then finally acceptance and integration. Add acute or post-traumatic stress reactions according to flavour. This grieving process can take days, months, years; move back and forth and even get firmly stuck. We may think the idea of alien life is seriously cool because we are predisposed to the idea; it fits our worldview (and indeed would be a comforting notion), but other people out there have deep investment in a whole set of important spiritual and philosophical beliefs that predicate that we are the only ones, at the centre of the universe, or God's unique creation. Others perceive the world to end at the borders of their village and would find any other notion too overwhelming, or rather academic to their very real daily life struggle for survival. They don't understand and hence don't care; they mentally filter it out. Others project their existing beliefs on it so don't change their worldwiew; they just reinforce it. Mess with their worldview and they get irked.

A mate has been doing SETI@home for years, He has a pulsar named after him. tbh I reckon they have as much chance of finding intelligent life ( it's hard enough to find it on earth ) as folding@home does of finding a cure for cancer. Mind more people make money from folding@home than they do from SETI@home

I think Folding@Home will not find a cure for cancer, but may stumble across another interesting range of discoveries.
Of course I will always hope that SETI@Home does find something, even if I don't expect it to change the world.

It has, it pioneered the way for distributed computing, enabling things like F@H.
How long did SETI run before F@H started? A decade? F@H is "the new thing". ...also, they pay you, SETI didn't.

Measuring the Effects of Technology Suppliers' Characteristics on Degree of Inter-Firm Technology Transfer based on Knowledge-Based View and Organizational Learning Perspective
The inter-firm technology transfers within collaborative joint ventures (JVs) have often involved close tradeoffs between the willingness of technology supplier to transfer a considerable amount of their technologies to technology recipient, degree of protection of the proprietary technology, knowledge and competencies as the source of the supplier's competitive advantage, and motivation to transfer. While technology transfers through JVs, have been acknowledged by many studies as the most efficient formal mechanism in internalizing the partner's technologies, knowledge and skills, the transfer process has frequently involved various facilitators, actors and complex relationship between partners which cause direct impact on degree of technology transfer. Based on the underlying knowledge-based view (KBV) and organizational learning (OL) perspectives, the main objective of this paper is to empirically examine the effects of two critical elements of technology supplier characteristics: partner protectiveness and transfer capacity on two dimensions of degree of technology transfer: degree of tacit and explicit knowledge. Using the quantitative analytical approach, the theoretical model and hypotheses in this study were tested based on empirical data gathered from 128 joint venture companies registered with the Registrar of Companies of Malaysia (ROC). Data obtained from the survey questionnaires were analyzed using the correlation coefficients and multiple linear regressions. The results revealed that partner protectiveness, as the critical element of technology recipient characteristics, had 1) a low significant effect on degree of tacit knowledge, and 2) no significant effect on degree of explicit knowledge. Nonetheless, transfer capacity showed strong significant effects on both degrees of tacit and explicit knowledge; where the effect on degree of explicit knowledge is slightly stronger than its effect on degree of tacit knowledge. The study has bridged the literature gaps in such that it offers empirical evidence on the effects of two generic technology supplier attributes: partner protectiveness and transfer capacity on degree of inter-firm technology transfer: degree of tacit and explicit knowledge in IJVs.

FIAZ MUNSHI has been found guilty of manslaughter and not guilty of murder over the deaths of two children in an arson attack in East Oxford in 1997.
The 38-year-old was convicted after a six-week trial at Oxford Crown Court of being involved in an arson attack in Magdalen Road, East Oxford, on August 26, 1997.
She denied murdering eight-year-old Anum Khan and her 15-year-old brother Majid after she was shamed in a family feud.
On both murder counts the jury found her not guilty.
But this afternoon there were gasps from the public gallery as the jury announced its unanimous decision after one-and-a-half days of deliberating.
Munshi had fled the country following the arson but returned in 2005. Police were told she was backed but did not follow that up and arrest her until 2013.
Today Detective Inspector Craig Kirby said he had apologised to the Khan family for that blunder.
He said: "I know the original investigation team did all they could to bring her to justice at the time.
"We regret the fact that the mistake that happened has led to this delay but that was not going to stop us proceeding with this case and facing whatever criticism there may be."
Munshi is now the seventh person to be convicted in relation to the fire, after five men received life sentences for murder in 1998 and her sister Riaz was jailed for manslaughter in 1999.
Munshi was not charged until October last year because a police error meant she was not arrested for nine years after returning to the UK from Pakistan.
The jury was told the Khan's home was targeted amid a dispute between Munshi her sister Riaz and the family living there.
She will be sentenced on Thursday.
Mr Kirby, from the police's major crime unit, said: "I cannot put in to words how difficult this case has been for the family of Anum and Majid and I know how important this verdict is to them.
"I am grateful that we have finally been able to bring their long wait for justice to an end as the last person involved in this horrendous fire in 1997 has been convicted.
"I cannot praise the family enough, for their dignity, patience and courage throughout this lengthy investigation and trial, despite the unimaginable nightmare they have had to endure.
"Enquiries undertaken following the call from the family in 2012 have not established why action was not taken by TVP in 2005 to investigate the evidence against Fiaz Munshi however as soon as we identified this new opportunity to bring her to justice a full review of the case was conducted.
"I hope the verdict today sends a very clear message to anyone who thinks they have escaped justice that no matter how much time has passed we will continue to pursue you and bring you before the courts, no matter how long it takes."

I think its amazing to have a person like you. What you are contributing with to the whole IEM scene is probably bigger than we all can imagine.
I don't want to imagine what is happening at the R&D departments at headphone makers, stressing them making better and cheaper headphones.
Also proving that if you are a small headphone maker and make good headphones, you will sell.
Thanks! I doubt my reviews have as much effect as you think (sales in the hundreds or even thousands of units don't make or break a headphone company, unless we're talking customs) but I'm very pleased with being able to guide some buyers to a better IEM or headphone than they'd otherwise have gotten.
Unfortunately I don't have either of the Sony hybrids in the queue at this time.
