Article describes 9,000-year-old caribou hunting area under Lake Huron

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Evidence of prehistoric caribou hunts on the floor of Lake Huron illustrates the sophistication of ancient peoples whose survival depended on understanding the habits of their prey, scientists said Monday.
In a newly released article, underwater archaeologists described a 9,000-year-old, man-made "drive lane" where earlier civilizations had targeted caribou. It was built atop a one-time land corridor linking what is now northeastern Michigan with southern Ontario. The area, about 35 miles southeast of Alpena, is submerged beneath about 120 feet of water.
Constructed on level limestone bedrock, it consists of two parallel lines of stones leading toward a cul-de-sac formed by the natural cobble pavement. Three circular hunting blinds are built into the stone lines. Additional stone alignments may have served as blinds and obstructions for corralling caribou, researchers said.
"One reason this area was so valuable is that it provided ... predictability," said John O'Shea, a professor of anthropological archaeology at the University of Michigan and lead writer of the paper, which appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Hunters of the Late Paleoindian-Early Archaic periods "had a lot of confidence the animals would have to pass there," he said. "If you guessed wrong about where the animals are, you may very well be dead. There was a lot of pressure on getting it right."
The site and artifacts found there suggest that the hunters used "distinctly different seasonal approaches," O'Shea said. "In autumn, small groups carried out the caribou hunts, and in spring, larger groups of hunters cooperated."
Archaeologists found the site using remote underwater vehicles, sonar and other technology. They have explored the area for years and previously announced the discovery of the drive lane, along with a pole-shaped piece of wood that might have been used to hold up a tent or hang meat. But their latest article provided more detail about the drive lane, located on what is called the Alpena-Amberley Ridge.
They say the main feature, "Drop 45 Drive Lane," is the most complex hunting structure that has been found beneath the Great Lakes.
The structures in and around Drop 45, and the chipped stone debris for repairing stone tools, are evidence of human construction and use, O'Shea said. They also shed light on the social and economic organization of the ancient hunters.
"The larger size and multiple parts of the complex drive lanes would have necessitated a larger cooperating group of individuals involved in the hunt," he said. "The smaller V-shaped hunting blinds could be operated by very small family groups relying on the natural shape of the landform to channel caribou toward them."
Co-authors of the article are Ashley Lemke and Elizabeth Sonnenburg of the University of Michigan, Robert Reynolds of Wayne State University and Brian Abbot of Nautilus Marine Group International.

Nerve and tendon injuries most commonly result from lacerations of the hand. But can also be irritated from excessive and repetitive hand/finger movements, i.e. cell phone texting, excessive video gaming, or other job related repetitive motions. This is called tendonitis or nerve compression and can heal with a period of cessation of the repetitive motion or minor surgery to correct the tendonitis. You can read about these in the trigger finger, wrist tendonitis, and carpal tunnel decompression sections on this web site.
Ruptured or lacerated nerve and tendon injuries are suspected following any deep laceration including innocent-looking stab wounds. The classic finding on examination is inability to fully flex or extend a finger/thumb. Adjacent structures, such as nerves or arteries, are frequently lacerated as well. A patient may report "bleeding that shot across the room", clearly indicating a lacerated artery. When this occurs in a deep finger laceration, the injury to a digital artery is almost always accompanied by laceration of the adjacent digital nerve. A suspected sensory nerve laceration can be confirmed by careful sensory testing.
Tendon repair can be carried out within 2-3 weeks of the injury date. Improved suture materials and tendon-repair techniques have led to improved outcomes following tendon repair. Another major improvement has been the availability of Certified Hand Therapists and improved techniques for hand rehabilitation after tendon and nerve injuries. OrthoVirginia has 3 sites (Johnson-Willis, Chippenham, Henrico-Parham, and Hanover Regional) where CHTs are available for our patients.
Recovery from tendon repair involves several phases. Phase I is the protective phase, during which the injured tendon is protected by a postop bandage and subsequent light splint. The splint should be worn, as instructed by your CHT and surgeon; this may include the use of a sling. Phase II is the protected ROM phase in which your CHT will allow passive ROM (movement of an injured finger by the other hand) but no active ROM (movement of the finger by active muscle power). Phase III is the strengthening phase, which will be started once your CHT and surgeon advise it. Strengthening may take 3-5 months.
Nerve repair has also benefitted from modern microsurgical repair techniques. Surgical microscopes allow for accurate use of microscopic sutures (the size of human hair) or the use of collagen sleeves to repair nerves. But recovery from nerve repair requires even more time as nerve regeneration is a slow, gradual process taking 6-18 months. Again your CHT will coordinate the recovery phase, which requires extensive "re-education" of the hand as the repaired nerves begin to recover.

Editor's note: Critical Consensus is a biweekly feature in which two critics from Indiewire's Criticwire network discuss new releases with Indiewire's chief film critic, Eric Kohn. Here, Indiewire contributor and ReelPolitik blogger Anthony Kaufman joins Christian Science Monitor critic Peter Rainer to discuss the directors of two new films — "Magic Mike" and "Savages" — as well as the auteur theory that arguably hovers over any conversation about a filmmaker's career.
This conversation will have three parts, but one unifying factor: the auteur theory. Last week, Steven Soderbergh's "Magic Mike" opened nationwide, while Oliver Stone's "Savages" opens this Friday. Both filmmakers have achieved enough success and visibility over the years to have "auteur" status. The recent death of auteur theory popularizer Andrew Sarris provides us with the occasion to look at these two filmmakers in light of the auteur theory's lasting relevance.
Anthony, since you edited a book of Soderbergh interviews a few years back, let's start with you. In your introduction to that book, you talk about Soderbergh's career going through a series of ups and downs. How does "Magic Mike" fit into that pattern?
ANTHONY KAUFMAN: It may not exist in that pattern anymore, although I think that if you look at the box office and critical attention on the last few films, you could say that "Magic Mike" is part of a rise. I felt like "Contagion" was also part of a rise and got a lot of mainstream attention. I think "Magic Mike" is a success — financially, at least — and stylistically, it's interesting. But what do you do with a movie like "Che" coming after "Ocean's Thirteen"? People think "Che" is a masterpiece. I don't know if you want to necessarily apply the "rise and fall" thing to him post-"Ocean's Eleven," really, because he's doing his own sine curve. Even films that people previously considered not very good, like "King of the Hill" — now a lot of people think it's a great film. I'd be careful about that. Because of where he is now, he's doing his own thing and his success or failure on any given film is not hurting his auteur status.
Creatively, do think "Magic Mike" fits into Soderbergh's oeuvre?
KAUFMAN: I think so. I feel like there's a lot of interesting editing work in it that feels very much like Soderbergh where he's sometimes cutting abruptly on moments and sequences that go somewhere unexpected. That's something he experimented with quite early on, with "The Limey" being the most obvious example. Also, I think there's a lot of stuff continuing the work he did with "The Girlfriend Experience." However, even his first film, "sex, lies, and videotape," was about sex and people trying to connect. If he ended his career with "Magic Mike," I would see that as a nice bookend.
Peter, what's your take on "Magic Mike"?
PETER RAINER: I don't think it's terribly magical. I enjoyed the film. It's certainly well-crafted and there are some of the themes that Anthony has brought out about the connectivity or lack thereof among people and the fringe parts of society.
But for me, the interesting thing about Soderbergh — more in theory than in practice — is that there are a lot of filmmakers who say, "I'm going to make that big commercial movie and as soon as it hits I'm going to make all those small movies I really want to make." And they never make those small movies. You've got to hand it to Soderbergh because he has worked all over the place. He's gone from the "Ocean" movies to films like "Bubble" or even "Haywire." This is something that started at the very beginning of his career. "sex, lies, and videotape" is the kind of movie that would typically launch a director into the stratosphere of budget and big stars. What did he do after that? "Kafka." That was a deliberate thumbing of his nose at the system that had been set up for directors like himself. The films themselves are often chancey in the right ways so that even when they go wrong I think it's good that he has done these things.
In some ways, I like his straightforward pictures more than the "Bubble"-type pictures. "Out of Sight," I think, is not only one of his best genre pictures but one of his pictures of any type. It's very deeply felt and underseen.
KAUFMAN: Do you put "Contagion" in that category?
RAINER: I thought it was his big-canvas version of what he normally does on a small canvas. That was his socially conscious movie, in a way, except that he's such a particular director. It's eerie how it didn't register at all on any award-show radar given the people involved with it.
KAUFMAN: I don't think it was a prestige film. "Traffic" is on that level and was obviously recognized during the awards season. With "Contagion" — technically, Soderbergh is incredible at putting scenes and structure together. But with "Contagion," "Haywire," and "Magic Mike," while I like all those films, I didn't leave them feeling transformed.
RAINER: I didn't, either. If you compare "Magic Mike" to something like "Shampoo," which is the obvious point of comparison, the difference there is that "Shampoo" has a sense for the whole society. It's not just about the people, but "Magic Mike" is mostly a lot of floor shows. They're fun to watch, but in a way they're like movie musicals. Someone just breaks into song and that takes you out of the movie.
KAUFMAN: And the characters only go skin deep.
RAINER: Literally.
KAUFMAN: But I don't think it's striving for more than that, either.
Did either of you find the film's message to be fairly conservative? Even though it celebrates the glamor of the stage antics, ultimately it portrays stripping as a disreputable profession.
KAUFMAN: It's the same thing he did with "Girlfriend Experience." That movie didn't celebrate porn, but people flocked to it because of that. All those women flocked to see "Magic Mike" because of the hot male bodies in it. I don't think it's necessarily problematic, because the film is critical.
RAINER: I don't think Soderbergh takes a terribly judgmental view of anything, which is one of the things I like about his films. There's a certain morality-play aspect to "Magic Mike," but I don't think it's very heavy-handed. He's not saying that this guy needs to get out of the business because it's immoral. He needs to get out of the business because he's not who he wants to be.
KAUFMAN: It's not saying anything about the stripping. It's saying something about capitalism. That's where the critique is.
Next page: Kaufman and Rainer on Oliver Stone, "Savages" and more.
Speaking of heavy-handed morality plays, let's talk about Oliver Stone.
Peter, when you reviewed Stone's "U-Turn" in 1997 you wrote that his "imagery belies his intentions." Has your opinion on Stone shifted at all since then?
RAINER: As a filmmaker, Oliver Stone is a fever junkie. It's been said about him that he's the only person who ever went to Vietnam to cool out. For me, Stone is always a better director than he is a writer or — god forbid — a thinker. His movies, even the not very good ones, have a certain visual excitement to them. I think "Savages" is a return to form. If you like the form, that's a good thing. (laughs)
He's drawn to power on a personal, visual and thematic level. This is what he makes movies about. He's made movies about JFK, Nixon, Alexander the Great, Bush, Wall Street tycoons… he's constantly plugging into that dynamic. I don't think he has a terribly big perspective on power because he's such a powermonger himself. He doesn't have a way of looking inside. His movies are very exterior experiences, which is why even a film like "Nixon," which one would think is his way of getting inside the belly of the beast, was a surprisingly bland experience. It was the same with "W."
KAUFMAN: One of the ways Stone has gone astray is by giving big displays of sentimentality in his films. "World Trade Center" and "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" were just terrible in that way. Those films are just failures; some of the earlier films, like "Salvador," "Talk Radio" and "Platoon" had a harder edge. That's my memory of them. Maybe it's because he needs to be sweet now to get an audience. But when he tries to be sweet it's a disaster.
RAINER: And now he's putting together a multipart TV show on American history. This from the guy who thought LBJ was involved in JFK's assassination. I would agree with Anthony. Stone is always trying to mainline emotion without seeing where it's going and that belies his basic instincts. In "World Trade Center," it was very funny that that film became a neocon favorite. All the people who demonized him for years were going on talk radio saying what a great film it was. That film has Michael Shannon's character signing up to go to Iraq at the end — which feeds the idea that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11. That's an example of how Stone can go off on his own instincts for the sake of an emotional charge.
KAUFMAN: He's obviously never been a subtle filmmaker. I just had a flash of a famous rape sequence in "Salvador." Looking at films like "Born on the 4th of July" or "Platoon," these aren't subtle films. He's got a weird, visceral approach to filmmaking that's coming from the gut but can also splatter.
RAINER: It cuts both ways. I think "Salvador" is his best movie. James Woods was fantastic in it. And it has a political context. Stone isn't very good at analyzing power because he's too close to it. At some point you can get to the truth of human experience by examining those who are the most abhorrent. Stone's anti-heroes are always people like Jim Morrison, Gordon Gekko, these sacred monsters. If you go to Oliver Stone for subtlety, you're going in the wrong direction. What makes him a fascinating filmmaker when he's going where he's good is the same thing that makes him a terrible director otherwise. There's a kind of comic ghastliness in his movies even in scripts he's written for other directors, like Brian De Palma's "Scarface." That's as much an Oliver Stone movie as a De Palma film.
KAUFMAN: De Palma is a fruitful comparison. They both tackle political content with a style that can be heavy-handed, but I would agree with Peter that with that heavy-handedness can come a certain power.
RAINER: Both of these filmmakers tend to take things to extremes because that's how they see the word in paranoid worst-case-scenario terms. That's where their juices are, where they live out their fantasies…
KAUFMAN: It's worth noting that they're both older than Soderbergh by over a decade.
RAINER: Some of "Savages" reminded me very much of a Tarantino film. The odd thing is that Stone was a strong influence on Tarantino. The level of violence in the torture sequences of "Savages" all have a sort of Tarantinoesque flavor. It's not done as straight horror, but rather has a comic ghastliness that's typical of Tarantino and has been from the get-go. It's ironic that Stone's latest film brings to mind Tarantino even though Stone is the progenitor of what Tarantino does.
Next page: Does the auteur theory still hold water today?
We've been speaking for over 20 minutes about numerous films exclusively in terms of their directors. Given the recent passing of Andrew Sarris, the auteur theory has been on a lot of people's minds lately. It's been roughly 50 years since Sarris wrote his famous "Notes on the Auteur Theory" piece. Considering the focus of our earlier discussion, do you still think the auteur theory is the best way to approach films and filmmakers?
KAUFMAN: I don't know if it's the best way, but it's one useful way. It's an easy tool for people to look at a group of films. At the time when film scholarship was getting started, that was important. I don't think it should be overstated as the "best" or only way to look at films because it excludes a lot of other contributions and it tends to favor the canon — you know, it tends to favor white men.
RAINER: Right. It's a convenient shorthand. The more you know about how movies are made, the more obscure the auteur theory becomes. My big problem with it has always been that when carelessly applied — and this is not something Sarris really did — it not only says one must judge a film by a filmmaker's personality but it implies that the personality by itself is of value. In other words, the continuity of personality, the ways in which various films link up, is of value. You can have a lousy director who has a really consistent personality in all of his or her films just as you can have directors who are all over the map. And yet you can have somebody like Soderbergh, for instance. There's not a lot superficially connecting his films and yet he does have a recognizable style.
To me, the way of a looking at movies from a directing point of view predates the auteur theory. It just wasn't called a theory. If you go back and look at James Agee's reviews from the '40s, or Manny Farber's reviews, or Otis Ferguson's reviews, they look at films very much in terms of directors. Agee wrote a very long essay called "Undirectable Director" about John Huston. The auteur theory was a way of applying a scholarly imprimatur, which had been transposed by the Cahiers du Cinema group and André Bazin onto American films to legitimize a lot of studio films that had been otherwise relegated to B-movie status because they weren't bigger movies.
Peter, you've really brought into focus the numerous generations of film critics that have come and gone since the beginning of the form. So far, most working critics have been impacted on some level by Sarris' "The American Cinema" and the auteur theory he espoused in it. But how will the critics of tomorrow — the teenagers of today — look at movies? These are people whose initial love for the medium coincided with Netflix recommendation engines and the like. They can see more movies than ever before, but there are also a lot of factors that might lead them to watching the wrong movies or missing out on the right ones.
KAUFMAN: It's a good point. I don't know that much about how teenagers discover movies. Will the recommendation engines drive them to think about a filmmaker's work and think about film that way or drive them to watch a film with a similar genre or star? Of course, it has been argued that stars can be an auteur force as well. I wonder if the director as a figure will have less importance to discussion around films as they have in the past.
RAINER: I know that, speaking for myself, over the last number of years, the director's name on the box matters less and less because Hollywood has been geared much more than in the past to producer-driven projects. The directors who make films for the under-30 generation tend to be people who were hired because they aren't going to give the moneymen a whole lot of guff. They're just anxious to get these films made. There's not a whole lot of personality in these movies. Producers don't want to deal with all this auteur crap, so they just hire people who are more or less willing to do their bidding. The names are forgettable from one film to the next. That's more the case now than it was 10 or 20 years ago when films were much more director-driven. If you're going to see any of the big franchise movies, unless it's Chris Nolan, chances are that you're not going because of the director.
KAUFMAN: But in some ways, if somebody like Nolan or some of these indie directors were plucked to handle big franchises, that's getting more important than all the "Poseidon Adventure"-type blockbusters, those big films from the seventies. Although then you did have the birth of Spielberg and Lucas. It may be too diverse to pinpoint.
RAINER: The films I'm thinking about are post-"Poseidon Adventure" but pre-"Jaws." You had directors like Coppola, Scorsese, Peckinpah, Malick, et cetera, who made these hand-crafted and very personal films. You went to them because you knew that this was the work of a filmmaker who had a very singular way of seeing things. Even the Ridley Scott movie that just came out, "Prometheus" — are people really talking about it that much as a Ridley Scott movie or just as a big experience?
KAUFMAN: But let me throw something at you: What about somebody like J.J. Abrams? I don't know if he's an auteur, but that guy has cachet. I would think that, whether it's "Star Trek" or "Lost," there is a group of people out there who consider this guy a kind of creative god. Eric, maybe you know something about that.
The interesting thing about Abrams is that everything he does is based to some degree on the pop culture that influenced him when he was young. That includes Spielberg, who was himself influenced by the pop culture of his youth, so the fandom around Abrams actually predates his own creative tendencies.
RAINER: A lot of these guys are visionary capitalists as opposed to auteurs. Like I say, I have a lot of issues with the auteur theory, but I think there's a difference between J.J. Abrams and Terrence Malick. I didn't like "Tree of Life" much, but when it came out, so many critics rallied around it. There was something very antiquated about that film, like critics were trying to will something into existence; this auteur experience that doesn't really pertain to movies now.

Building Blocs – Reaktor to Max/Msp
Hi guys,
I've been taught about create a patch based on some Reaktor Ensemble.
We already know that reaktor is quite more quick once you have the "macros" with all the stuff inside it.
I'm wondering if anyone out there are aware of some resources on this subject ?
i think a macro is something like a bpatcher or an abstraction, either way i'm confident you can make them in max. and you have the ability to bang things! hooray!
what exactly do you want to know?
Not sure what exactly you want to know so I'll just ramble about my experiences adapting reaktor ensembles to msp:
A lot of the reaktor "macros" or modules can just be substituted with regular msp objects. the diffusion delay for example is just an allpass~. Their grain modules such as "grain cloud" can be easily recreated by research common msp granular techniques (specifically granularized from the examples and granular 2.5 by sakonda)
The only major difference between reaktor modules and msp is the values they accept. most of the oscillators or filters accept midi values instead of frequency. also the volume modules accept dB instead of audio values so you'll have to convert that as well if you are adapting a reaktor ensemble/instrument. other than that top to bottom inputs in reaktor changes to left to right for max which seems obvious but i spent three days trouble shooting a converted patch only to realize i was plugging in the inputs in the wrong order. Keep track of the values so your math is accurate.
With support forums, documentation, and some creative workarounds it's easy to convert most reaktor ensembles to msp, or visa versa.
At this time the aim is to emulate the skrewell sound generator.
It shouldn't be a problem. I'll walk around it and if some problem appears i'll let you know guys.
Thanks for the tips.
João Menezes
Skrewell looks relatively easy to port into MSP other than the "Lissajous display" but I'm not well versed in LCD/JSUI. For Wrap mode of the multisliders look at http://cycling74.com/forums/topic.php?id=25328
Overall a fun exercise in creative b-patcher/poly~ usage.
Actually, the "Lissajous display" isn't important for this task.
Yes, overall is a funny exercise, but exactly at this moment i'm having problems with [poly~] on a system that distributes messages through six computers in a wireless network.
There are some strange thing happening. The poly~ instances seem to overload very easily in the network. :S
Oh, thanks for the link :)
João Menezes
did someone finally arrived to rebuild the audio part in max ?

Director Homi Adajania wanted to pair the hit onscreen jodi Rishi Kapoor with Dimple Kapadia
Making an effortless shift from lead to character roles, Rishi Kapoor has recently been the hot favourite of many filmmakers. While the veteran actor is already busy with several films, not many know that Ranbir Kapoor's father was also offered Pankaj Kapur's role in Finding Fanny.
Yes, you read that right! The makers of Finding Fanny wanted to cash on Rishi and Dimple Kapadia's onscreen romance that the couple had created years back in films like Bobby, Sagar and Pyaar Mein Twist. Though we are sure that Shahid Kapoor's father would give a hands down performance, Rishi and Dimple's hit pair would have made a surreal impact on the audience.
Considering the buzz that Deepika Padukone and Arjun Kapoor starrer has already created, we can just hope Sr Kapoor does not regret his decision.

Originally published in 1944, historical novelist Margaret Irwin's Young Bess is slated for republication in early March through the Sourcebooks Landmark imprint which resurrects notable vintage titles. Having been reprinted several times since its original publication, Young Bess remains an exquisitely captivating look into the life of the young Princess Elizabeth.
Since my first viewing of Cate Blanchett's moving portrayal of the young Queen in Elizabeth (2001) I have been unable to shake a growing interest in the life of this incredibly memorable woman. Young Bess gives readers an immaculate researched look into the life of this unforgettable woman from her young childhood through to the age of 19, when her brother, King Edward, died. This first installment in Irwin's trilogy focuses mainly upon Elizabeth's life between the ages of 13 and 16, highlighting the many political and romantic tensions that shaped her coming of age.
From the first few pages of Young Bess it immediately becomes apparent that this is not a contemporary novel – I've never read historical fiction like this from a modern author. Readers are plunged into an intricate cast of characters from nobility through to tutors, governesses, and whipping boys. Those not intimately familiar with the time period will need some time to adjust to the cast, and indeed, a second read-through may be in order once everything is sorted from the first time through.
Irwin clearly delights in the nuances of the not-yet stabilized English language of the 1500s, and is quick to include quotations from period songs, poetry, and selections of actual correspondence between the historical characters as appropriate. Though I'm no Elizabethan historican, Young Bess bears all the markings of a faithful portrayal of girl who would be queen.
Irwin's desire to include the political and religious conflicts, alliances, and issues of the day also leads her to do much expository 'telling' rather than the ever-vaunted 'showing' that is so valued in contemporary fiction. There can be pages of these explanations, and yet, she also captures the imagination and sweeps readers into the intimate world of Elizabeth's very nature, and those whose lives most affected her own young one.
With growing inclusions of explicit sensuality and occult references in general market historical fiction, some readers may be leery of the genre in general. While romantic tension (some kissing), and some small amount of period-appropriate cursing and oaths are included in the text, this is a clean but passionately written novel. Parents looking for an Elizabeth novel for their children should be aware that much of the content revolves around the budding love between the young Princess and the Lord Admiral, Tom Seymour – an older (mid-thirties to her mid-teens), and at times married man.
I'm thankful to Sourcebooks Landmark for keeping Irwin's work in print; her portrayal of this complicated, old-before-her-time girl child is striking and unforgettable.

Why is the UT BOR flipping shit?
It's because their ABSOLUTE BEST defense in a Title VII case brought by the track coach is that she was fired, and Major wasn't, solely because she's a lesbian, and not because she's female or black. Sexual orientation is not a protected class under Title VII, while sex and race are.
In other words, the only way they could possibly get off from having to pay millions in damages is by bringing on a PR apocalypse upon themselves. They're ****ed no matter which way they go.

MT @mikefinger: There will be no action taken in this meeting, and no interviews afterward. Told regents might release statement later today
Have confirmed that everyone in executive session is from UT system. No reps from university (i.e., no Powers, Dodds, Ohlendorf).
Let me guess. A statement will be released after the Super Bowl kickoff.
I think ut will have to fire Applewhite and then OU is going to hire him... not.
Please don't let Mack be involved in this....please don't let Mack be fired because of this....please....

So this rug muncher coach (NTTIAWWT, deep down I am a lesbian too) is going to be a rich lady. The silence by UT pretty much says to me that she can name her price to STFU.
I'd love this to hurt UT, but the whole thing is ridiculous. Boards of regents, investigations, packs of journalists, lawyers and lawsuits. All because two people had sex - oh no, the horror! Very, very shitty thing to do to his wife, which makes him an **** in my book, but that's between them.
And the track coach is a greedy, pathetic whiner. There is a huge difference between sleeping with an adult student and sleeping with an adult student WHO YOU ARE COACHING. To do that and then be mystified as to why you are being punished is ridiculous.
There's really no difference between what the lesbian coach did and what Seamus did. Semantics, really.
They are two ****ing idiots who ****ed themselves because they ****ed around with the wrong person.
Is there really that big of a difference between someone that you coach and someone that is a student trainer on the team? You have authority over both. There is still a power dynamic that could be exploited.Originally Posted by EufaulaSooner View Post

Port Of Spain - With parades, exhibits and fireworks in colourful Caribbean style, the twin island nation of Trinidad and Tobago celebrated its 50th anniversary of independence from Great Britain this year.
The prosperous oil-rich nation in the southern Caribbean is a culturally vibrant nation with rainforests, sandy beaches and a nightlife that includes restaurants serving sumptuous food and nightclubs with live music.
Reuter correspondents with local knowledge help visitors enjoy the most of what the islands offer during a short visit.
5pm - Stretch your legs after a long journey by walking around the Queen's Park Savannah, the heart of Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad. Drink coconut water straight from the shell in the city where street food is safe and regulated. During your walk, look for the Magnificent Seven, late Victorian homes known for grandeur and eccentricity.
8:30pm - Head to dinner at Creole Chaud and enjoy odd sounding local delicacies such as "pigtail oil down," "cow heel," and "goat dougla." The fudge is made from the locally grown chocolate, considered some of the best in the world. www.chaudcreole.com
10pm - To end the evening visit the Crowne Plaza Trinidad, which has closed its top floor-revolving restaurant, but if asked, the manager can open it up for guests. Sip champagne and enjoy the view.
8:30am - Sample breakfast at the downtown carts, which carry roti, a hearty breakfast of burrito-style bread with a chickpea filling.
9am - Visit the Asa Wright Nature Centre in the Arima Valley and see the spectacular views of the Northern Range. Trinidad serves as a microcosm of South America with nearly 100 varieties of mammals, 300 birds, 55 reptiles and 617 butterflies. Many can be seen at this world-class preserve. www.asawright.org.
Noon - Drive through the rainforest to Maracas Beach on the north side of the island and about an hour's drive from the capital. Grab a local delicacy at Richard's Bake and Shark where you can try deep fried shark in batter.
1pm - Marvel at the Temple in the Sea at the end of Orange Field Road in Waterloo. The Hindu temple is a 25-year labor of love built by a survivor of a German torpedo during World War Two to thank God for his escape.
2pm - On the same Waterloo road the statue of Lord Hanuman, the Hindu Monkey God, rises up 85-foot (25.9 meters). It stands next to a temple completed in 2003. The elaborate temple resembles a wedding cake.
4pm - Travel to the Coroni Swamp for a nature ride to watch the arrival of the national bird, the red ibis. The scarlet birds resemble Christmas ornaments as they land on trees at sunset.
6:30pm - Enjoy dinner in an old colonial setting at Veni Mange. Inside it is a burst of both colourful art and tasty food. Try West Indian dishes like Callaloo Soup and Saltfish Accras, while finishing with homemade coconut ice cream. www.venimange.com
8pm - Walk along the broad avenue in front of the restaurant and follow your ears. There are dozens of clubs and bistros where live music is playing. Pick your favourite and dance.
9:30pm - Head to the St. James area where music and entertainment runs around the clock. Walk down some of the side streets to catch Trinidad's famed steel bands practicing.
11pm - The Smokey and Bunty Sports Bar offers plenty of rum and loud music. Film stars and locals have chatted at the pub that sprawls out onto the sidewalk. Several dance clubs pound out rhythm until dawn.
8am - Catch a 14-minute flight to Tobago, which has a population of 52,000. The quaint island meets the ocean with some of the world's most beautiful beaches. The peaks of the Main Ridge shelter one of the oldest protected forests, dating to 1776.
9am - Don't forget the sunscreen at Store Bay at Crown Point, which is a quick taxi ride from the airport. With its golden sand and sheltered waters it is ideal for swimming.
10am - Browse through the food vendors to taste delectable local dishes such as fruit chow, corn soup and Doubles, a curried chickpea and garbanzo bean sandwich topped with chutney. Taste the pepper sauce, a national favourite.
10am - Join a glass-bottom boat tour to Buccoo Reef and Nylon Pools. Snorkelers can see up to 300 species, such as brain, elkhorn and star corals in the reef waters.
1pm - Have lunch at a charming, family-owned Creole restaurant called the Blue Crab Restaurant. Try the fried flying fish and curried blue crabs www.tobagobluecrab.com
2pm - Visit Fort King George, which dates back to the 1780s, and see its cannons which command an excellent view of the ocean. The quirky museum has items ranging from pre-history to colonial times.
3pm - Relax on the beach at Canoe Bay, one of Tobago's hidden jewels.
7pm - Time for dinner, which is served under a thatched roof, at the Kariwak Village Restaurant. The lush landscaping also produces herbs for their sumptuous Caribbean meals. www.kariwak.com - Reuters

We are living in a Transparent and Authentic World
Being real is what it's all about. In this new world of instant communication, follower, likes, tweets, & blogs there is no time for bullshit anymore. Behind all these things are real people who can see BS coming from a mile away and you know what, they don't follow BS. You need to be authentic and real all the time because that is all that matters.
I love the idea that someone I only know on twitter is telling me what he's having for dinner and takes a picture to share. I may not like the food or the photo but he's not afraid of being real and you have to respect that. Some people feel these types of communication are trivial or useless but I look at them as authentic and real. When that same person puts up a link to his blog or product or service, I'm way more inclined to look at it because I know there is a real person behind it. He's not some robot blasting me with pitch after pitch saying look at me, look at me. That BS doesn't work anymore and I love it.
There has never been a more transparent time in the history of the world. Someone was live tweeting the attack on Osama bin Laden. I found out about the Japan Earthquake on Twitter first. The uprising and organization of a revolution against the Egyptian government all from Social Media. These things are happening in real time and they are not happening on your TV only anymore.
I love the future!!!!
Let me know what you think.
Follow me on Twitter.

Among the many issues that faced "Live Free Or Die Hard" besides the PG-13 rating the on-no-the-internetz plot, it lacked a villain on the scale of Alan Rickman, Jeremy Irons or even William Sadler. And we hope this announcement doesn't mean more of the same.
Variety reports that "The Lives Of Others" star Sebastian Koch and Russian model/actress Yulia Snigir have joined the upcoming "A Good Day to Die Hard" as the villains. Penned by the dubious Skip Woods ("X-Men Origins: Wolverine," "The A-Team"), the story will find the aging John McClane (Bruce Willis) teaming up with his son (Jai Courtney) to save the world. Previous rumors have pegged the villains as being Russian in nature — and perhaps Snigir's casting suggests that — but it seems it may just be a more bland Euro-centric threat.
Anyway, with the movie now ten months away (better get started on this guys!) we'll find out soon enough. John Moore will direct with the movie landing on Valentine's Day next year. Until then, watch Snigir in the video for "Do skoroi vstrechi" by Russian group Zveri, which apparently made her famous or something.

Newcastle sign French international Mathieu Debuchy
FRANCE international defender Mathieu Debuchy said he was looking forward to a new challenge after joined Newcastle United from boyhood club Lille today.
The experienced right back, signed for an undisclosed fee, has been a mainstay of Lille's defence since emerging from the youth ranks 10 years ago, making more than 230 appearances.
However, after signing a five-year contract, the 27-year-old said he was looking forward to helping Newcastle climb the Premier League table after a worrying loss of form.
"After many great years at Lille I felt I was ready for a new challenge, and cannot wait to play for such a big club in the best league in the world," he told the club's website (www.nufc.co.uk).
"I hope I can bring something fresh to the team and help us get up to the highest possible position in the Premier League this season.
"I will play like I used to for Lille, with the same qualities. I don't leave anything on the field and give more, and I hope I will bring a lot to this team."
Debuchy's signing is a boost for manager Alan Pardew whose injury-hit side have lost six of their last seven games and who have fallen to within two points of the relegation zone.
They conceded 13 goals over the holiday programme, including a 7-3 defeat at Arsenal, and have had to deal with uncertainty about the future of striker Demba Ba who completed his move to Chelsea on Friday.
"We are absolutely delighted to have finally secured the signature of Mathieu," Pardew said.
"It's no secret we've been trailing him for some time now and to have reached this point fills me with great excitement and anticipation in respect of what he will be able to offer.
"He is an established top international player and it is a real coup for this club. Mathieu will add real quality to our team, in terms of his ability, character and experience and I am sure he will quickly become a firm favourite among our fans."
Newcastle are away to Championship side Brighton and Hove Albion in the third round of the FA Cup tomorrow.

All related comments for properties in Kaneohe, HawaiiAlthough this house is listed as a "Clean and Sober House", you would only know this if you are looking for it. This residential half-way house has yet to go through the proper channels to be a "legal" half-way house, although apparently our government/prison system seems to aware of it since they place ex-felons there.
Presently, after 10 years in existence, the owner, who owns 4 others in Kaneohe, is trying to get a "Major" permit to allow 17 unrelated ex-felon males to live in a small, congested residential neighborhood (average property size is 3800 - 4400 square feet).
It impacts our neighborhood: 17 new residents every 3-6 months; 6 houses away from a preschool and elementary school; no street parking & no access for garbage and fire/emergency trucks; devaluation of our property value; lack of feeling safe and secure in own home; and, owner, Jody Solbach has not monitored his business. So called "rules" are not monitored nor enforced.
Would you like to buy a house in this neighborhood?

Antique French Louis XVI Style Malachite Gueridon Table
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
This exceptional antique Louis XVI revival table dates from the late nineteenth century and features an oval shaped green malachite top and pierced brass gallery, and what is believed to be mahogany veneer. Possibly of Russian origin. Measures: 32.75" wide, 27.25" deep, 33" high to top of gallery (83.2 cm wide, 69.2 cm deep, 83.8 cm tall). It also has extensive bronze mounts on the frieze including floral, foliate and ribbon motifs along with medallions depicting frolicking putti. The legs feature beaded molding and end in animal paw feet, and are connected with a stretcher with acanthus leaf and acorn finial in bronze. Overall condition is excellent. There are some noticeable scratches here and there to the frieze and legs, and only a few modest losses to the veneer.
In 2014 the bronze mounts were regilt. Additional images forwarded upon request.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
In the last one to two years, we have seen a rising number of collaborations between retailers and wholesalers in the pharmaceutical industry. Early last year, entered into a 10-year agreement with Walgreen and Alliance Boots. In December 2013, CVS Caremark signed a 10-year joint venture with . successfully acquired drug wholesaler in January this year. By consolidating the market, the collaboration between wholesalers and retailers helps streamline the distribution of pharmaceuticals and increase supply chain efficiencies, in turn improving efficiency of the healthcare system.
With 8,681 stores, Walgreen is the largest drugstore chain in the U.S. In August 2012, it completed an initial 45% investment in Alliance Boots, the largest European pharmacy-led drug retailer, with an aim to create a global pharmacycompany by expanding its operation in new markets including Europe, China, Latin America, etc. Walgreen agreement with ABC allows it to jointly source generic drugs and generate logistical efficiencies. By combining its distribution in the United States and Europe with ABC, Walgreen will be able to negotiate better prices for generic as well as branded drugs.
In this article, we discuss how the deal with ABC can help Walgreen benefit from the expanding generic drugs market.
Our price estimate of $64 for Walgreen is at a slight discount to the current market price of $70.
View our analysis for Walgreen
The U.S. Market Has Shifted Towards Generics
In the last few years, the U.S. market for medicines has shifted more towards generic drugs as a significant number of patents expired for major brand names. The branded pharmaceutical business has seen tens of billions removed from the market annually by patent expiry.
The total generic dispensing rate, which factors the percentage of generic drugs in a consumer's prescription, grew to 78.5% in 2012, from 74.1% and 71.5% in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The generic wave peaked in Q1 2013 and hit a trough in Q1 2014. Despite slower substitution in the last few quarters, an estimated $15 billion worth of branded products will come off patent in the next two to three years, opening them to competition from generic drugs.
Walgreen Has The Strongest Generic Purchasing Power
McKesson, Cardinal and AmerisourceBergen distribute more than 80% of all of the drugs in the United States. AmerisourceBergen, which was the third-largest drug distributor in the country, became No. 2 as a result of the deal with Walgreen and Alliance Boots, replacing Cardinal Health. Walgreen will now be able to leverage the scale of ABC and Alliance Boots to buy generic drugs at cheaper prices in the U.S. and expand aggressively in the European market, where generic drugs are underutilized. Walgreen is now also better positioned to leverage pharmacy growth in Asian markets.
The supply agreement with ABC includes the distribution of branded, generic, and specialty pharmaceuticals to Walgreen's retail stores, mail order and specialty pharmacies. The distribution contract initially included branded pharmaceutical products that Walgreen historically sourced from distributors and suppliers. However, starting 2014, ABC was supposed to increasingly assume the distribution of the generic products that Walgreen has historically self-distributed. Post the ABC deal, the Walgreen-ABC combined generic purchasing power is estimated to be the highest, at around $12 billion.
Generic drugs are comparatively lower priced but offer higher gross margins (approximately 50% higher) than branded drugs, for both wholesalers and retailers. With leading players collaborating with each other, the lower number of buyers in the industry can put pressure on gross margins of generic manufacturers, forcing them to lower the prices even further. Retailers (such as Walgreen) in turn can pass on this cost saving to retail customers.

ANN ARBOR — Online Tech Tuesday announced what it's calling the first easy, comprehensive, and cost-effective disaster recovery solution for cloud computing today.
Called DR Now, Online Tech says the system replicates the entire hosted cloud including servers, software, network and security to an offsite disaster recovery cloud without any programming or special configuration.
Online Tech says DR Now delivers recovery times under four hours for less than half the cost of the production cloud servers.
While traditional disaster recovery systems have been expensive, unreliable and slow, cloud computing makes disaster recovery affordable, reliable and fast. By replicating entire cloud servers and the network configuration between data centers, the time-consuming aspects of recovering servers, applications and data into a cold site environment has been replaced with just a few clicks to spin up the replicated servers and network configuration.
Online Tech replicates its shared and private clouds between their Michigan data centers. When a disaster is declared, Online Tech commits that the entire replicated cloud, including servers, software, network and security configuration will be online in less than four hours.
Other features of DR Now! include:
* Fully provisioned, permanently reserved servers for disaster recovery, unlike traditional cold site DR plans in which servers are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
* Annual DR testing and automatic emergency response by Online Tech.
* A warranted four-hour recovery time objective, specifying worst case availability.
* A warranted four-hour recovery point objective, specifying worst case amount of data lost.
* Provisioning capability for even faster RTO and RPO.
Starting at $99 per month, DR servers can be ordered by a single checkbox with the order of a cloud server. Online Tech sets up the DR cloud without any additional user configuration.
"One of the most significant advantages to cloud computing is how it changes disaster recovery, making it more cost-effective and lowering the bar for enterprises to deploy comprehensive DR plans for their entire IT infrastructure," said Mike Klein, president of Online Tech. "Cloud computing delivers faster recovery times and multi-site availability at a fraction of the cost of conventional disaster recovery."
Online Tech has deployed and tested DR Now for its own server infrastructure.
"We replicate our cloud servers and network infrastructure between our data centers for our own critical business systems," said Yan Ness, CEO of Online Tech. "We consistently recover our entire internal private cloud with 30 cloud servers in under an hour in our regular disaster recovery tests over the past year. This gives us a high degree of confidence as we open up this solution to our client base."
Online Tech offers colocation, managed dedicated serveres, private cloud hosting and disaster recovery from high-availability, SAS 70-certified, SSAE 16-compliant data centers in Michigan. The data centers are compliant under PCI, HIPAA and SOX.

Sydney: Jan 20, 2013
Australia spin legend Shane Warne is set to leave the Big Bash League in ignominy as he is set to refuse to appear in a disciplinary hearing in Melbourne on Monday, January 21.
Warne had earlier told his Melbourne Stars teammates that he will not be playing in the Twenty20 league next season.
This will be the second instance when Warne will be handed a possible second fine and suspension in two weeks time.
The hearing will be held in Warne's absence, along with charges against Melbourne Renegades cricketer Marlon Samuels and Adelaide Strikers' coach Darren Berry, reported news.com.au.
After loss to the Perth Scorchers in the semi-finals, Warne was reported for naming James Faulkner nominal captain to avoid a possible suspension due to slow over rates, which is against a Cricket Australia memo.
The memo reads, "If a team's official captain is selected but not named as captain, this will be considered against the spirit of cricket."
Warne played the semi-final after being banned for one game and a $4,500 fine for manhandling Samuels. In the same game, the Caribbean cricketer was reported for grabbing David Hussey to prevent him from taking a run.
The report added that Samuels, along with facing suspension, faces charges of deliberate physical contact and bringing the game into disrepute.

Winter rainfall for the Adelaide Hills was close to the long-term average; however spring was very dry, with little rainfall recorded. Flowering began in November with near-optimal climatic conditions prevailing. The growing season was warmer than usual, with occasional heat spikes, however cool nights provided the vines with much needed respite. The warm and dry conditions leading into harvest ensured there was minimal risk of disease. Overall quality for Pinot Noir was excellent.

Because if there's anything that's cooler than a sporty little car, it's a sporty little car that lets in lots of sunshine.AdvertisementFiat unveiled its topless Abarth today at the L.A. Auto Show. The 500c Abarth has the same 160 hp 1.4-liter MultiAir turbo mill as the regular hatchback, and also benefits from sporty body moldings and black and red leather seats.The difference is the cloth roof, which peels back all the way to the rear spoiler under 60 mph. I can't imagine why they wouldn't just let you drive around top all the way down at 80, but maybe there's some engineering thing about the roof ripping off and ending up flapping in the wind like Grace Kelley's scarf.AdvertisementRegardless, this version of the 500 looks cool and we can't wait to take it for a spin.

For telescopes, the optical diameter (also known as aperture) is the size of a telescope's main light-collecting lens or primary mirror, measured in millimeters or inches. Telescopes with larger optical diameters collect more light, which leads to an increase in brightness and image resolution compared to smaller instruments.
For binoculars, the optical diameter (also known as objective lens diameter) is the size of each of the front-facing objective lenses of a binocular measured in millimeters. Binoculars with larger objective lenses collect more light, which increases image resolution and brightness. Binoculars with larger objective lenses are recommended for low light situations, and binoculars with at least 50mm or larger objective lenses are recommended for pleasing astronomical observations at night.
