Thyroid dysfunction following radioiodine for Graves' disease is common, potentially detrimental and avoidable. A variety of clinical strategies are employed in the post-radioiodine era util the patient is on a stable thyroid hormone replacement regimen, which include the use of anti-thyroid drugs, antithyroid drugs with thyroxine, early thyroxine replacement and watchful monitoring until the onset of hypothyroidism. Which of these is most effective in avoiding dysthyroidism, is unknown. This study aims to address this lack of evidence. It will focus on Graves' disease as this is the commonest cause of thyrotoxicosis and the commonest indication for RI therapy. It will provide an insight into potential strategies for improving important clinical outcomes.

Germany international Lewis Holtby has announced he will leave Schalke at the end of the season when his contract expires.
The 22-year-old, who will be available on a free transfer in the summer, joined the Royal Blues from Alemannia Aachen in 2009 and has established himself as one of the best young midfielders in Germany.
News of his impending departure is a huge blow for Schalke who had been hoping he would join Holland striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar in signing a new deal.
Board member Horst Heldt said: "We had hoped that Lewis saw his future at Schalke beyond the end of the season.
"But, like Klaas Jan, he has made a personal decision that we respect.
"We are sure he will give everything between now and the end of the season."
Holtby's father is English and he has inevitably been linked with a host of clubs in the Barclays Premier League, including Arsenal and Liverpool.

Pittsburgh's Soldiers & Sailors to bring slices of Gettysburg to life
November 17, 2013 11:39 PMJohn F. McCabe has a ready answer on why it is "fitting and proper" to mark the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum in Oakland.
"Look there," he told a visitor last week, pointing to the back wall of the hall's stage. There, the text of Abraham Lincoln's famous speech is inscribed. Mr. McCabe is president of the hall and museum that honors members and veterans of all branches of the military.
Soldiers & Sailors will host the free commemorative program of the Gettysburg Address from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday at the hall at 4141 Fifth Ave.
The evening event will include a performance by the 6th Regiment United States Colored Troops Drum Corps, a group of young African-American re-enactors, and a recitation of the Gettysburg Address by Lincoln presenter Rea Andrew Redd.
Mr. McCabe also promised some surprises for visitors as they view the museum's displays of artifacts from all the nation's conflicts. Figures from 10 of the display cases, dressed in the uniforms of their times, will be portrayed by actors who will answer questions about their lives. He compared the experience to becoming part of the movie "Night at the Museum" in which mannequins of Teddy Roosevelt, Genghis Khan and Amelia Earhart come to life.
"We don't want people just reading plaques," Mr. McCabe said. "Instead they'll be experiencing the museum in a different way."
Those attending the commemorative program also will get a first look at a new museum exhibit that features the sword and other items that belonged to Union Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren.
The artifacts are on long-term loan to the museum from the descendents of William John Warren, the general's brother.
The general's sword, telescope and spur had been passed down to an Enfield, Conn., man named Howard C. Smith II, whose wife, Virginia, is an Upper St. Clair native. After her husband's death, she agreed to lend the items to Soldiers & Sailors. "We'll keep up the new exhibit as long as she'll let us display the items," museum curator Michael Kraus said.
Mrs. Smith's sister, Karen Godwin of Bridgeville, had encouraged her to contact Mr. Kraus about displaying the items. When she finally did, she said she was impressed by his enthusiasm about the objects and his knowledge of the Civil War.
"I decided they belonged there," she said of Soldiers & Sailors. "I know my husband would be proud and happy to know they are in a place where other people can appreciate them."
While most people may not know Warren's name, visitors to Gettysburg would recognize his statue. A bronze monument on Little Round Top shows the mustachioed Warren, holding binoculars and looking out over the battlefield.
A New Yorker and a graduate of West Point, Warren had been promoted to brigadier general and was serving as chief engineer for the Union Army of the Potomac.
As Northern and Southern armies jockeyed for position July 2, 1863, Warren discovered that Little Round Top -- located at the tip of the Union line -- was almost undefended. Trained as an engineer and mapmaker, he recognized the danger of a Confederate attack on the Union flank and he scrambled his staff officers to find troops to defend it. Erie's Col. Strong Vincent responded. His brigade held the hill, but Vincent was mortally wounded during the battle.
Warren survived the war and served as an army engineer until his death in 1882 at age 52.
His 1850-model staff-and-field sword that will be on display at Soldiers & Sailors looks very similar to the weapon depicted by the general's side on the statue at Little Round Top, Mr. Kraus said.
Also part of the display will be several images of Warren, including a 24-inch-by-30-inch lithograph. A copy of a smaller photo of Warren, taken in 1861 at Fortress Monroe, Va., shows two telescopes that resemble the one now at Soldiers & Sailors.
Soldiers & Sailors was dedicated in 1910 as a tribute to Union troops who fought in the War Between the States. Its collection contains numerous Lincoln artifacts, Mr. McCabe said. Those items will be augmented Tuesday when Photo Antiquities, a photography museum on Pittsburgh's North Side, displays a 10-piece collection of Lincoln images and documents as part of the commemorative program.
Strong ties connect Lincoln and America's veterans, Mr. McCabe said. The president understood the sacrifices that service members and their families make, he said. In his second inaugural address, Lincoln famously pledged "to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan."
When Soldiers & Sailors opened, and for several decades afterward, veterans of the Civil War would have been in the audience for many programs there, Mr. Kraus said. That creates a direct link between Gettysburg and the building in Pittsburgh.
"If you can't be in Gettysburg on Nov. 19, you should be here," Mr. McCabe said.

To fix a corruption problem in a replication master database, you can restore the backup, taking care not to propagate unnecessary SQL operations to the slave servers:
Using the backup of the master database, do the
operation, shut down the database,
and do the copy-back
Edit the master my.cnf
file and comment
out log-bin
, so that the slaves do not
receive twice the binlog needed to recover the master.
Replication in the slaves must be stopped temporarily while you pipe the binlog to the master. In the slaves, do:
mysql> STOP SLAVE;
Start the master mysqld on the restored backup:
$ mysqld … InnoDB: Doing recovery: scanned up to log sequence number 0 64300044 InnoDB: Last MySQL binlog file position 05585832
, file name ./omnibook-bin.002
InnoDB prints the binlog file and the position it was able to recover to.
Pipe the remaining binlog files to the restored backup. For
example, if there are two more binlog files,
$ mysqlbinlog --start-position=5585832 mysqldatadir/omnibook-bin.002 | mysql $ mysqlbinlog /mysqldatadir/omnibook-bin.003 | mysql $ mysqlbinlog /mysqldatadir/omnibook-bin.004 | mysql
The number of remaining binlog files varies depending on when the last backup was taken: the older the backup, the more remaining binlog files there may be.
The master database is now recovered. Shut down the master and
edit my.cnf
to uncomment
Start the master again.
Start replication in the slaves again:
mysql> START SLAVE;

In these recently created designs, and the designs from the previous two post, I have been trying to create compositions with a great degree of poise.
Poise from Webster's- 1: a stably balanced state : equilibrium poise between widely divergent impulses — F. R. Leavis>2 a: easy self-possessed assurance of manner : gracious tact in coping or handling.
I have not been posting lately because I have been fervently working on some t-shirt designs. These, along with the previous two posts, are some of the submissions I have made to a start-up company called "Transmission." I am very excited about the prospects of this company.
Please let me know what you think about the designs: Would you were them? Which is your favorite? Do any of them rub you the wrong way? Do they have poise?

But somehow a few months have gone by since the last one, so here's a somewhat earlier example I found parked near the '82 Mercedes-Benz 380SL. And yes, I noticed that '79 Civic across the street while I was shooting this Volvo; don't worry, Honda fans, I shot it while I was there. Did Volvo paint half their Malaise 240s this particular shade of mustard yellow? Or was it two-thirds? These cars were pretty pricey when new, with the list on this one set at $6,595 (well over two grand higher than the '77 Malibu sedan and a bit under a grand less than a new BMW 320i). This one is pretty banged up; I could have photographed many nicer examples of Malaise Era Volvos on the island, but this car seems to capture the tough-survivor essence of the Volvo Brick.

The NFL offseason continues, with today marking the deadline for designating franchise players.
Several teams have worked out deals with their own players in the past 24 hours. In Houston, the Texans and running back Arian Foster have agreed to a five-year contract. Per Jason La Canfora of NFL Network, the deal is worth $43.5M with $20.75M guaranteed.
And yesterday, the Seahawks announced that Marshawn Lynch would be back on a four-year, $31M deal with $18M guaranteed, according to Danny O'Neil of The Seattle Times.
I'm guessing Drew Rosenhaus, Howie Roseman and Joe Banner are keeping an eye on those deals, with LeSean McCoy signed only through 2012. Here's a quick look at the three running backs' numbers from last season:
Age | Games | Rushing Yds. | YPC | Rec. Yds. | Overall TDs | |
Foster | 25 |
13 | 1,224 |
4.4 |
617 |
12 |
McCoy | 23 | 15 | 1,309 | 4.8 | 315 | 20 |
Lynch | 25 |
15 | 1,204 | 4.2 |
212 |
13 |
It's easy to make the case that McCoy deserves more than Lynch and could be looking for something in the range of what Foster got.
The other player to keep an eye on is Ray Rice, who received the franchise tag from the Ravens last week.
I wonder if Rosenhaus is just sleeping on a couch at the Novacare Complex? He represents DeSean Jackson, McCoy and Evan Mathis, all of whom could get new contracts in the coming months.
There's news on the Jackson front also. The Bills and wide receiver Stevie Johnson have agreed to a five-year deal that's worth $36.25M with $19.5M guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The guaranteed money is worth taking note of. If Jackson plays under the franchise tag, he'll get $9.4M guaranteed.
Here's how Johnson and Jackson's numbers stack up from last season:
Age | Games | Catches | Receiving Yds. | YPC | TDs | |
Jackson | 25 | 15 | 58 | 961 | 16.6 | 4 |
Johnson | 25 | 16 | 76 | 1,004 | 13.2 | 7 |
Johnson (6-2, 210) only had four drops, per STATS.com and eight red-zone catches (six for touchdowns). But he only has a two-year track record.
Jackson (5-10, 175) had nine drops last season to go along with two red-zone grabs (one for a touchdown). He's clearly the better downfield threat and has a four-year track record.
With Wes Welker and Dwayne Bowe expected to stay put one way or another, it looks like Vincent Jackson and Marques Colston could be the top free agent wide receivers on the market once free agency begins on March 13.
Also, teams looking to add a wide receiver this offseason might be more likely to at least call the Eagles and ask about Jackson.
I don't know what SI.com's Peter King found out at the combine, but he seems convinced that the Eagles have at least some level of interest in Robert Griffin III. King listed odds to land RGIII in today's Monday Morning Quarterback column. He's got the Redskins as the favorites at 3-1, followed by the Browns (4-1), the Dolphins (5-1) and the Seahawks (10-1).
After them, he's got the Eagles and Chiefs tied at 25-1:
Never eliminate Andy Reid in the quest for a quarterback. He loved RG3 when they met at the combine, as did Chiefs GM Scott Pioli. If Pioli has some Thomas Dimitroff riverboat gambler in him, he just might risk it all to go get Griffin.
The Eagles could have interest in Titans defensive lineman Jason Jones, according to Dan Pompei of the National Football Post:
The Titans are interested in retaining Jones, but if Jones hits the open market there is likely to be competition for his services, including from St. Louis, where his former boss Jeff Fisher calls the shots, and from the Philadelphia, where his former defensive line coach Jim Washburn has influence.
Jones (6-5, 276) has 15.5 sacks in four NFL seasons, playing primarily defensive tackle. He turned 27 in January.

Flavor Trends 2010: Make Mine Plain
Flavor trends are going comfort-retro but don't write off exotics just yet. Consumer palates remain open to new adventures.
Positioned as "nondairy recipe starters," the Nasoya line of silken tofu products from VitaSoy Inc. was launched in the three classic dessert flavors. |
Chocolate and vanilla (as well as another taste classic, strawberry) were tapped as the introductory flavors for the launch of Nasoya brand nonsavory tofu from VitaSoy Inc. (www.nasoya.com), Ayer, Mass. The three sweet, silken tofu products are designed to be used as primary ingredients in dairy analog desserts and confections but can pass as healthful, dairyless "custards" in their own right.
Sweet and savory
Natural, non-sugar sweeteners could become an economic flavor trend, according to Cecilia McCollum, executive vice president of Blue California (www.bluecal-ingredients.com), Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif. The company's stevia leaf rebaudioside-A extract, Good & Sweet Reb A, is now actually 10 to 20 percent below the cost of sugar when the sweetness equivalency is taken into account, she claims. (Reb-A is around 400 times the sweetness of sugar.)
"The flavor companies we work with to develop unique, natural blends prefer sweeteners such as our Good & Sweet Reb-A 99% because often there's no need for an additional masking flavor," says McCollum. In comparison tests, fruit beverages using reb-A without maskers or enhancements actually allowed the natural fruit notes to come through better, she says.
The key to stevia's acceptance was new techniques of purification. "It's of the highest purity, meaning we've eliminated all the compounds that impart any negative taste, including bitterness or metallic aftertaste," explains McCollum. "As with all our products, it's derived through natural methods, such as water extraction and ultrafiltration. This allows us to refine it to such a degree it can meet all the requirements for the stricter EU requirements to be labeled 100 percent natural."
FDA's approval at the end of 2008 of reb-A came at a perfect time when the consumer demand for natural was impacting artificial sweeteners and even naturally derived sweeteners with bad publicity — i.e. high-fructose corn syrup. As a natural sweetener with virtually no caloric load, this is a nascent trend that promises years of strong and steady growth.
On the savory side, the flavor trends mirroring sweet natural and basic demands focus on sea salt (countering such falling-out-of-favor flavor enhancers as monosodium glutamate), ethnic spices (especially chili) and — perhaps because of all the interest in vampires these days on TV and in cinema – garlic. Garlic's increasing popularity was cited by Business Insights as being linked to the increased attraction to "natural" flavors. Consumers do trust garlic.
A surprising jump in the savory flavor trend curve comes from the humble chick pea. Hummus maker Sabra Dipping Co. has seen a doubling in sales in just two years. Moreover, the appeal of hummus has branched beyond Middle Eastern flavors. The company enjoyed instant success with such flavor crossovers as jalapeño, chipotlé and sundried tomato.
The flavor is expanding beyond dip to the dipper. "Our Hummus Maximus Culinary Crisp has been one of the better selling products this year (2009)," says George Eckrich, owner of Dallas-based Dr. Kracker Inc. (www.drkracker.com). "These are new and exciting flavors, and customers love the nutritional profile of higher protein and whole grain, adding both chick peas and sesame to the whole grain or whole seed camp." The 100 percent whole-grain spelt-based cracker has lemon and garlic as well as chick pea flour, thus including two other hot savory flavor trends in a single snack.
In 2010, processors tasked with deciding flavors for new formulations find themselves at an interesting point of the flavor-trend pendulum's swing. As with everything else the past couple of years, the economic collapse has triggered a cascade that is affecting what the next round of snacks, drinks and energy bars will taste like. Luckily, consumers are proving themselves eager to accept the old favorites as well as new experiences — as long as they taste good.

No. 21 George Washington Drops 63-57 Decision to George Mason
Shooting Woes Doom Colonials
Dec. 20, 2002
WASHINGTON, DC - No. 21 George Washington (4-2) fell victim to a determined George Mason (3-2) team in a local rivalry. The Patriots converted key shots to hold off the Colonials for the 63-57 upset.
Vernessa Neamo led GMU with a game-high 19 points on 7-11 shooting to lead the Patriots. GW's Ugo Oha, despite playing only 11 minutes of the first half due to early foul trouble, led the Colonials with 14 points and seven rebounds.
The Patriots forced the Colonials into 24 turnovers, converting them into 22 points. GMU recorded the victory despite GW holding them to 33% shooting, and out-rebounding the Patriots 50-39.
GW shot 41.1 percent on the game, however struggled from beyond the arc where they shot 15 percent (3-20) and the freethrow line, hitting only 42.9 percent (6-14). Anna Monta?ana and Valerie Williams each scored 10 points for the Colonials in the loss.
Jen Derevjanik scored 16 points and Khalilah Smith added 11 points for GMU.

Anat Kamm arrives in prison 311 R.(Photo by: REUTERS/Nir Elias)
Court cuts Kamm's espionage sentence by 1 year
By JPOST.COM STAFF
4.5 year sentence of Kamm, convicted of leaking IDF documents to journalist, cut after appeal; sentence disproportional, court says.
The Supreme Court on Monday took a year off the
four-and-a-half-year sentence
begun in November 2011 by Anat Kamm, 25, reducing her jail term to three-and-a-half years.
Kamm was convicted by the Tel Aviv District Court in February 2011 of stealing IDF documents during her mandatory military service and leaking them to
journalist Uri Blau.
Kamm, who worked as a journalist for the Walla news portal after her army service, was convicted in a plea bargain under which she admitted to gathering and storing more than 2,000 classified military documents during her service.
She also admitted to transferring the classified documents to Blau, a political affairs reporter who used the material as the basis for two articles, including allegations that certain IDF commanders had disregarded Supreme Court directives in late 2008.
She is now expected to be released from Ramle's Neveh Tirza Prison in February 2014.
The court based its decision on the fact that Kamm admitted to her crimes, saved the court time, cooperated with police investigators and was unlikely to commit such crimes again. It also found that her sentence was harsher than those given to others for similar crimes, and that it was unreasonable given that Blau had been sentenced to
only four months of community service
for his part in the affair.
However, the court agreed with the lower court in that Kamm's actions had been highly problematic and a strong message of deterrence had to be sent to ideologically motivated people who believe they know better than the authorities and are ready to take the law into their own hands.
The court did not find Kamm's sentence or the fact that she was given significant jail time to be inappropriate.
More specifically, it responded to the argument put forward by her attorney that because of her relatively low rank at the time she stole the documents, her sentence should have been be less than that given to a former general, Yitzhak Yaakov, who also leaked classified information.
The court said Kamm had pushed harder and succeeded more than Yaakov in getting the classified documents into the hands of the media, and created greater dangers for the IDF. In fact, it said it would not have reduced her sentence based only on a comparison with other cases, but since it already had a core problem with the sentence, comparisons to other sentences provided additional evidence that hers was harsher than necessary.
While the court said Kamm's sentence was unreasonable when compared to Blau's, it refused to make any exact comparisons. It noted that Blau had a legally privileged role as a journalist, whereas Kamm, a soldier, had an extra responsibility to uphold considerations of security.
The fact that Kamm might have seen her role as similar to Blau's was not an overwhelming factor for the court, although it did believe it somewhat unreasonable that the lower court had entirely ignored Kamm's intent to benefit the public.
Overall, the court affirmed the lower court's sentencing of Kamm.

As owners of MikWright Ltd., a Charlotte, North Carolina-based greeting card company, Tim Mikkelsen, 45, and Phyllis Wright-Herman, 44, employ a group of friends and neighbors to glue old family photos to off-size greeting cards. The duo then writes humorous, snarky captions for the 1950s, '60s and '70s-era pictures.
Sounds like a simple, old-fashioned kind of operation, right?
Well, it is, except for the fact that the company sells its products in more than 10,000 retail locations around the world and generated sales of $1.3 million last year.
Despite the fact that they could easily afford to mass-produce their products, the owners feel it's important to keep the same production methods they've used since launching the company in 1992.
"There's not a machine that can guarantee the quality control that a human can," says Mikkelsen. "We're not looking to be this huge conglomerate. It would change who we are and what we do."

My Internet has a habit of not working. For example, this morning I was trying to watch the latest episode of Jersey Shore for the second time because I wanted to re-watch the Sammi-JWOWW fight and pick a winner. I had to restart my Internet three times just to get through the fight part of the episode, which lasted less than seven minutes. I didn't have time to fight with it so I could get to the end and dissect the Angelina-Vinny hook-up (probably a good thing).
I wish my Internet stopped working after the first quarter of today's Syracuse-Washington game.
After going three and out to start the game, SU got a second chance when Washington got whistled for a face mask on the ensuing punt. Ryan Nassib took the opportunity and ran with it—literally—rushing for 28 yards and a touchdown. A field goal on Syracuse's second drive made it 10-0. So much for a tough Washington crowd (I saw a ton of empty seats, by the way). Meanwhile, the Orange D, lead by tackling machines Phillip Thomas and Derrell Smith, was keeping the pressure on future first-round NFL draft pick Jake Locker, preventing his receivers from gaining yards after catches, and stifling the running game. Washington punted on its first possession and only managed only a field goal in the first quarter. Even the offensive line looked decent. Was this actually happening? Was Syracuse not just hanging with but beating a Pac-10 team and shutting down its stud QB in the process? This couldn't possibly last.
Sure enough, it didn't. Slowly but surely, things started to return to form. First, the O-Line stopped blocking and Nassib was sacked on the first drive. I am already getting sick and tired of typing, "the offensive line needs to step it up," but I might as well get used to it. This is a young and inexperienced unit that needs time to improve.
Then, the defense that looked so good against Akron last weekend started to show some holes during the Huskies' first drive of the second quarter, the Washington O-line started blocking better and Locker had much more time to find receivers. Still, Syracuse shut the Huskies down on the goal line as Washington inexplicably took the ball out of Locker's hands and tried to run it into the end zone. 10-6 SU. Hey, it could be worse.
Prince-Tyson Gulley basically gift-wrapped momentum for the Huskies in the form of a fumbled punt return on Syracuse's 22-yard line that resulted in a Washington touchdown. Unlike Akron, Udub made Syracuse pay for its mistakes. Ross Krautman missed a field goal with 1:18 to go in the half and SU down 13-10. Someone fix Ryan Lichtenstein's leg, please. It looked like he would have a chance to redeem a minute later. Instead of kicking the field goal on third down with seven seconds left, Doug Marrone elected to try one more play. Does Marrone not trust Krautman? Yet again, the offensive line did a terrible job blocking (raise your hand if you're surprised!), Nassib fumbled, and SU went into the locker room empty handed.
There are two ways to look at the first half: a. Syracuse is hanging with a Pac-10 opponent on the road, the defense is playing well, and until that last play, Nassib did not looked too rattled or b. SU blew a 10 point lead and is imploding before our very eyes. I'm a realist. I picked b. I'm a fan. I wanted to be wrong.
Unfortunately, I was right (how often does someone say that?). Syracuse had been doing a very solid job at preventing Washington's receivers from gaining yards after catches….until Jermaine Kearse avoided tackle after tackle en route to a 57-yard touchdown. Later, Kearse and Locker connected again to make it 27-10 Washington. Kearse dominated the SU defense and eve outshined Locker, picking up 179 yards and three touchdowns. Despite his first-half issues, Locker threw for 289 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. To its credit, the Orange defense limited Locker to 12 rushing yards. A team obliterating was the SU football team. Ah, yes, order had been officially restored to the universe.
The D could not limit Chris Polk. After Krautman's field goal gave the Orange its first points since the first quarter (within 2 touchdowns! This is doable!), Polk went on a 52-yard dash to the end zone. Insert dagger. 34-14 Washington. Ten minutes later, Syracuse wasn't undefeated anymore.
The 'Cuse defense, which had been so good against the run, allowed Polk to rush for 125 yards and a touchdown. Polk is just the third player in 14 games to rush for more than 100 yards against Syracuse. I can't just say "Well, the defense only looked good against Akron" because unfortunately, SU hasn't just been playing against the Zips for the last year. I thought Locker and Kearse would have good days and suspected Polk rush for more than 100 yards, but I honestly did not believe the Orange defense would allow the Huskies to put 41 points on the board. Not after watching the unit for the past year. Not after last week. Not after the first quarter—or even the first half in general. Even that goal line stand was promising because it showed the Orange could buckle down and shut a team down under pressure.
As for Syracuse's running game, it did not really get off the ground (no pun intended) until the fourth quarter when Delone Carter started picking up more than two yards per carry. DC3 finished 91 yards rushing, Nassib with 20, and Antwon Bailey with an uninspiring 16. The running game was supposed to be strength for the Orange but instead it has been dormant and lacking depth for the first two games. Bailey needs to become more of a factor on this team. Much of the running game's issues can be attributed to the offensive line's inability to block and create holes for the backs to run through.
The lack of running game and an offensive line that does not protect its quarterback, either, has put too much pressure on Nassib in his first two starts. He is constantly forced to scramble and run himself out of trouble. If he has to do this every game, he will wear down. Nassib had another solid outing despite his accuracy dropping a little from last week, throwing for 202 yards on 17-35 passing. He was sacked twice and threw an interception.
See, the game wasn't all bad. Nassib played well for the most part and showed promise yet again. I know the second half probably left a sour taste in Orange fans' mouths, but we did see some good things out of the defense in the first 30 minutes. The 'Cuse really hung with and shut down a Heisman trophy candidate who could be playing on Sundays this year. For a while there, the defense was making tackles when it needed to and guarding well against the run. Smith and Thomas had 14 and 12 tackles respectively. Things fell apart and the score may look like a typical SU football score, but this is not a typical SU football team. There really is hope.
Hopefully my Internet holds up long enough for me to post this and hopefully it takes the Orange less time to figure out its O-Line issues than it took for Sammi to figure out who wrote The Letter.

It is important not to vilify the victim! In this case a child who's life was taken to soon and so unjustly! After such a tragic event would you want your loved one to be the butt of jokes, offensive cartoons, and inappropriate material? I think not! When since have certain individuals become so desencitized that you cannot tell right from wrong. Lets take a stand and show we are humanbeings first not animals!

I'm sure we all know that we have a lot to be grateful for. However, for me the process of writing a weekly gratitude list, ensures I consciously take in the small, but lovely, things that happen every day. Then, they are immortalised here on the page, so I always remember.
This week I love;
- That my amazing daughter has overcome her fear of the bath and now loves it! So much less stressful for all of us!
- When Baby puts both hands on her head and says 'Uh Oh'! (too cute!).
- That Baby's cuddles have progressed to both arms round my neck and a tight squeeze, followed by patting me.
- That you can ask Baby to find Makka Pakka in her book and she will find the book, the right page and point to Makka Pakka, with a massive smile on her face.
- Reading time with Baby. She picks a book and brings it over, then I have to read it sooooo many times! (Then repeat with another book!)
- That our lovely neighbour mows our front lawn and his wife brings our bins back to the house post bin man visit.
- Our new fence for Baby's garden, so soon (when it is in place) she can roam freely in her own garden.
- That I picked up some bargain Little Bird clothes for Baby in the Mothercare sale.
- That I finally bought Baby some Happyland toys, five sets complete with all the relevant figures for £35. Not quite the £2 bargains I hoped for at a car boot sale but still under half what they would have been in the shops #GetMe!MoneySaver!
- That I am going to see Mr Hubby today! (He has been away in France since Monday).
So what are you grateful for this week?

Posts Tagged 'The Kubler'
"The Kubler" is the newest installment of The Director Series, a 4-week series of performances wherein a Director selects a cast and presents a different form. This month Russ Armstrong is directing "The Kubler." We interviewed Russ via email to learn more about the show.
1. What is The Kubler?
The Kubler is a best-of-both-worlds improv show. It allows great actors to chew up some big, intimate scenes and intersperses those with large group scenes from a strong ensemble. It's inspired by the Kubler-Ross model (umlaut, please!) which folks are more familiar with as "the five stages of grief." The Kubler-Ross is a hypothesis that humans process difficult news by progressing through these five stages in order; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance. Starting with a suggestion of some bad news someone has received, we take the audience through the five stages and throw in large group games in between. It rocks. But mostly it rocks because of Rick Andrews, Laura Grey, Sean Taylor, Lauren Olson, Dru Johnston, Desiree Nash, Jordan Klepper, Jana Schmieding, Alex Marino and Chet Siegel.
2. Why are you directing it?
I'm directing the Kubler because it gives me an opportunity to force great improvisers to work with me and offers a format that can really showcase top-notch players working together. Also, I was told I would receive intern credits.
Everyone knows this but I'll rehash it anyway. Improv will be solved in 2019 at the yet-to-be-formed Dungeon Fungeon in Staten Island after an inspired triple-Harold performed by the East Coast's best ensemble, John Mack's Warrior Punchbowl (Starring Brad Tomey!) It won't be the best show, and it won't be the last show, but their director, and the audience will insist, "That's what improv is supposed to be."
It'll be that or slowly we'll all move back to Chicago and crawl back up the vagina of The Compass Players, spin around there for a couple years in some swirling black hole of callbacks and then get spewed out across the continent once more not unlike this ever-contracting-and-expanding nutsack of a universe. Intern credit, please!
The Kubler opens this Thursday, March 7th at 10pm! MORE INFO!

Dave Herman was indicted for attempting to engage in sexual activity with a minor. Credit: Getty Images
Retired rock radio disc jockey Dave Herman on Tuesday was indicted on a charge of trying to take a 7-year-old girl to the U.S. Virgin Islands from New Jersey for sex.
A federal grand jury in Newark, New Jersey indicted Herman, on one count of attempting to transport and engage in sexual activity with a minor. He was arrested in October and remains jailed without bond.
If convicted of the charge, Herman faces a sentence ranging from 10 years in prison to life.
The criminal charge stems from a series of online chats, beginning in 2012, between Herman and an undercover officer from the Bergen County, New Jersey, prosecutors office posing as a 36-year-old woman with a young daughter.
Prosecutors said Herman, who has homes in Airmont, New York, and St. Croix, tried to set up sexual encounters with what he thought was a 7-year-old girl in New York and in New Jersey, and in September bought airline tickets to St. Croix for the woman and child.
The child was, in fact, fictitious.
Herman was arrested on October 24, 2013 at the St. Croix airport, where prosecutors said he expected to meet the girl and her mother.
A spokesman for Herman's attorney, Marc Agnifilo, declined to comment on Tuesday.
Herman was a well-known disc jockey in the New York area on radio station WNEW-FM beginning in the 1970s.

When I first discovered Abe's Market last year, I thought of it as an online Farmer's Market – goodies like small batch natural soaps, handmade baby blankets, organic vinaigrettes, and pretty much everything I love about our local Farmer's Markets; besides the heirloom tomatoes and hot cider.
Well they just introduced Abe's Live, and starting today, if I were home at 2pm, I'd totally be watching that instead of whatever WHO'S THE BABY'S REAL FATHER! show is on then instead.
On Abe's Live,
you can tun into a live, streaming webcast of the very vendors and
artists who make all that good stuff, so you can learn tips and tricks
about natural living and learn more about the people behind the
products. Our kind of show.
Today from 2-4 check out the folks from CMP picks like Dapple Baby natural cleaning products, and the very yummy Eco-Kids Play Dough.
There should also be great discounts and fun freebies up for grabs.
Let's just say: Perfect opp to get a head start on holiday shopping.
think best part about the show is that you can send in questions and
talk back with other viewers or with the guests. See, just like home
shopping. Only from your computer. And the hosts won't ramble on for 6
hours about some ugly rhinestone watch. –Liz
To tune in to Abe's Live, just visit AbesMarket.com today, Oct 19 from 2-4 ET and Weds Oct 20 from 4-6 ET.

Comment Re:Any insight into language design choices? (Score 1) 339
- Why does Swift have both a "var" keyword and a "let" keyword? One should be sufficient with the other being a default behavior. If a symbol is not declared "var" then just assume it is constant or visa versa. Furthermore, it may not be necessary to have either of the key words because (I think) in every case, the need for variability and mutation should be determinable by the compiler. Type is already being inferred by the compiler, and mutability could reasonably be considered an aspect of type.
Having to use a keyword to introduce a new symbol is a pretty critical reliability feature. If there's no keyword to say "I want to define a variable", then every typo creates a new variable, rather than a compiler error. Lots of scripting languages work this way, and it's hell on reliability.
- Why are Swift collection types like Data always mutable? What happened to the concept of immutable containers from Cocoa. [Yes, I know the "bridged" CF types are always mutable, but that was another bad decision IMHO.]
They're not. That's why you have "var" and "let" keywords. You use "let" for constants, and "var" for mutable objects.
- Swift is intended to be a "Systems Programming Language", is it not? Yet, there is no support for "volatile" variables needed to support fundamental "system" features like direct memory access from peripheral hardware.
"Systems programming" != "device driver development". Nothing above the driver level should be accessing hardware directly, so that's a feature that could likely wait until every other Swift use-case has been addressed.
- Having experienced frustration trying to port high performance graphics code from C/C++/Objective C to Swift, what's up with that? IMHO, Apple's sample code for using OpenGL/GLKit/Metal from Swift leaves the impression that Swift is unsuited to the style of "low level" programming needed/used by OpenGL/GLKit/Metal.
Not sure what the actual complaint is here. Can you give an example of something that's particularly difficult?
- Why not support "dynamic runtime features" like the ones provided by the Objective-C language and runtime? It's partly a trick question because Swift is remarkably "dynamic" through use of closures and other features, but why not go "all the way?"
Part of the goal of Swift is to use compiler "smarts" to generate performant code. You can't really do much in the way of optimizations for dynamic dispatch, so it's not the preferred method. The bindings are there to talk to Objective-C, but Swift-native code is expected to solve those problems another way.
- Finally, a trivial aesthetic critique: Why "var foo : typename" like Ada and Pascal (IIRC) instead of "var typename foo" like every language that inherited C style syntax? Is there an advantage to the Swift approach that I haven't seen, or was it just an aesthetic choice? Did the choice not produce some IMHO "silly" syntax for method declarations with named parameters?
As far as I know, it's purely aesthetic. It's worth noting that type declarations are optional fairly often in Swift, so perhaps it was a decision to try to make the appearance of types less "jarring" where they *do* need to show up.

Way back when, she was one of the Cheetah Girls. They were popular and had a Disney show, movies, concert tours / movies of their concerts, etc. Raven deSimone (That's So Raven) was also a Cheetah Girl. I didn't watch DWTS then, so I didn't get to see that most shocking elimination. I agree with you that she seems to be trying too hard. I wouldn't worry about her taking the mirror ball trophy. There are other better dancers with bigger fan bases than her.
Each week, I worry that there will be a wardrobe malfunction and one of her girls will pop out of her costume. :lol

Agreed. I wasn't arguing that we should retain him and hope we can turn around the 25%. I was saying that there may be a GM or coach out there who thinks he can unleash the Kraken in Sanchez under different circumstances. Problem is that they won't be able to do it cheaply, which is a deal-breaker as far as I can see. Also, I was just trying to address Tx's point that Sanchez is terrible because he doesn't have the skill set or physical ability to be an NFL QB. I really don't think that's the issue -- he wouldn't be able to shine in 25% of his performances if that wasn't there.
All I'm saying is "bad QB's" take many forms. IMHO Sanchez suffers from terrible inconsistency and, at time, genuine panic. Those are not qualities to build ones future on. But I would argue that these are more psychological than physical deficits. Serious nevertheless -- probably fatal to his career. I also wonder about Sanchez's QB intelligence -- the ability to read and react effectively. He seems rather slow in this department....
This is the real scenario. Sanchez is a guy that still has a chance to be a productive NFL qb. And I posted many times that there would be at least 25% of the nfl coaches that would want to give him an opportunity. But no coaching staff is going to dedicate more than 1 mill to see what the guy has and to see if they can bring him around in a year.
But the idea that Sanchez has trade value even at 3.5 mill a year is ridiculous. Both Moore and Campbell have shown at least as much skill and Alex Smith has shown more. Then throw in Flynn being available, Garrard if when he passes his physical, Plus other guys like Cassel, Henne, Hoyer and Quinn all there for free as vets with only Smith and Flynn making more than the proposed deal with the jets picking up 5 mill of Sanchez 3.75 bill.
The jets can trade Sanchez if they find another team that also has a under performing guy with 8 mill guaranteed that needs a back up qb.

We should eat the cap, designate him a June 1 cut and move on. He is a cancer to this team that needs to be removed. No reason to force his dead money into playing the worst starting QB in the NFL.
See, I don't view him that way at all.he is a waste of money, but no one ever said a peep about the guy being a bad influence. What would sour the locker room would be if Sanchez is on the team and they don't give him a shot, just because he refused to give back his money.
Ray Ray you don't have a clue what your talking about. re Read this about 100 times and it might sink in. D Revis has in his contract that the Jets can't use the franchise tag on him making him an unrestricted Fa in 2014. Correct or you don't believe that the case.
Next Just say the Jets could get six round first rounders for D Revis(exaggeration) in a trade. Tell me that team can't come to terms on a contract extension( because Revis wants to test Fa in 2014) what happening with that trade. It's off. Do you agree or can the Jets force him to sign an extension.
Now last point Jets could offer him a boat load of money to stay with the Jets . again he wants to see what he can get in Fa(a lot of teams competing for his service). He doesn't have to sign that contract.
Now what options are left for the Jets. waiting for 2014 in free agency to see if they are going to be th highest bidders. They aren't and he gone.. you get nada. My statement was 100% accurate. There is no trade market for D Revis ,if Revis doesn't want to play ball. Yes the Jets can trade Revis even if he won't sign a contract extension but your getting a fifth rounder at best. ( one year rental).
back to the topic. there is no trade market for M Sanchez like there was no trade market for Titus Young and Rolndo McClain . where the last two are more poor attitudes ,Mark Sanchez is just because he isn't that good. you think teams don't watch tapes on players . The tape doesn't lie about M Sanchez it there for every GM to see for themselves. Good luck dreaming that you can get a pick for M Sanchez . M Sanchez has a better chance working in Adult films than being an Nfl Qb.
MAYBE some team might bring him in for a look if Jets cut him, but no one trading a pick for that right.

Revis is starting to work out now and is already doing resistance work, but not running. Good for him.
There is a trade market for Revis even right now at this stage of his recovery.
There are factors that will determine how much compensation the jets will get.
At the time of the Trade:
1. Is he Ready to put a helmet on and run full speed?
2. he has played in Training camp.
4. His contract demands if he is willing to bypass FA.
In July, if he took part in full contact drills and is willing to sign a 6 year 72 mill contract I think the jets could get a 2014 #1 and another 1 in 2015 based on performance in 2014.
If he plays out the year and gets a 6 year 90 mill deal, I think the most the the jets get will be a 2nd it will be structured like Vilmas deal, if Revis goes to FA before the new team can sign him the comp is lower. If they have to outbid everybody for him all they are doing is renting him for 1 year for a 2nd.

Yes there is a trade market right now for D revis only if D Revis says so. Nobody trading anything for D Revis if he won't sign an extension with that team. If his heart is set on being a FA in 2014(Unrestricted) . Than there really isn't anything the Jets can do about it. Just have to get their check book ready to compete with a lot of teams for his service. He announces like flacco he isn't discussing his contract till 2014. The4y really don't have any recourse.(they gave up that right when they gave up the franchise tag)
YEs If Revis is willing to sign an extension with a team that trades for him, than there could be a trade market for him. The Jets are at the mercy of D revis. All facts. All this speculation that D Revis wants to protect himself against injury and will jump at chance to sign a new contract is just opinion. There is no facts whatso ever there to support that belief- just a lot of hope.
BTW Patman no one giving a second rounder for a one year rental- That's more like a fifth rounder at best, your looking at.
I(F Revis comes to camp and Jets didn't do anything than be prepared to see DE Revis want to test FA. Determine who will give him the most money, where he wants to play and what team can win him a championship. Why would you want the Jets to make that choice for you, when Revis and Sean Gilbert can figure out for themself the best situation for them.

But you have to consider that the new team will most likely get a comp 3rd the following year, which is why I said a 2nd. I would be in favor of the pats giving a 2nd for Revis, (pick 60) he walks the next year the pats will get the
97 pick. it was similar to the Talib trade of a 4th this year and most likely the pats will get a 4th next year as a comp if he is not signed and that was only for 6 games. A full season of revis is worth the 4 mill, (3mill salary + 1mill roster bonus) So the pats wait a year to get a pick one rd later.
Anyway saying a 1st or a 2nd is a ridiculous statement anyway, The #10 is worth more than 2#30s or the number 35 is worth more than the 60th and a and the 92nd.
Let's hope one of the QB needy teams have a GM as dumb as Raytard to make this happen.why can't Sanchez generate a market that would say give the Jets a 3rd round pick? A 3rd or multiple mid-round picks for a player who is still 26 years old, and has won 4 playoff games?
Just curious, did you feel the same way about Tony Eason and his 41 starts from 83-86 with the Pats. He had a 58% completion pct threw 61 picks to 70 Td's . I'm sure you hold on to the fact he led the Pats to the 85-86 Sb and then made history by being the first QB to not complete a pass in the SB by going 0-6 and being pulled for Grogan. And oh yes the Pats got smoked by the Bears in that game 46-10.
Was he utter garbage like you claim Sanchez is ??
No, he was much better than Sanchez. And at this point in time Sanchez is utter garbage. Eason was never the worse qb in the league. and he threw 61 td and 51 int.
in the 70 games he played for the pats he passed the ball 1500 times with 900 completions a 58% . 60TD and 48 int and 22 fumbles.
In 62 games Sanchez threw the ball 1800 times with 1028 rec. 55% he threw 68 tds and 69 int and 43 fumbles.
So in 8 less games Sanchez threw 8 more TDs, 21 more int, and fumbled the ball 21 more times.
if you go by his 1st 4 years he threw 1273 times with 749 completions a 59% completion percentage with 54 TDs and 39 int and 20 fumbles
So how do you compare him to sanchez?
I hope you don't even want to compare how easy it is to pass now than what is was 25-30 years ago. and with having lance Mehl as a handle, I would think that you would know better than to compare the two since he beat the jets in the playoffs.
