3 Ways to Watch the Super Bowl
You can enjoy Sunday's Super Bowl no matter where you sit. Here are three vantage points: for the uninitiated, the somewhat knowledgeable and the truly hard-core
The San Francisco 49ers were a 1980s-'90s powerhouse that spent most of the past two decades wandering through that NFL wilderness known as bad quarterbacking and misguided coaching. They play the Baltimore Ravens, a team once known as the Cleveland Browns which now plays in a city where the old Johnny-Unitas-led Colts still loom over the citizenry's football psyche.
Related Video
But the experts and hypesters who are touting this game as a classic matchup have good reason to make the claim: It offers something for every possible flavor of football fan.
The fan who parachutes in for the big event will relish a family psychodrama and the swan song for all-time great Ray Lewis, the Baltimore linebacker who faced murder charges a dozen years ago, avoided prison and found God. For the standard fan of a certain age, raised on smash-mouth rushing, blocking, tackling and deep passing routes, there will be moments when this game may look a lot like classic football clashes of the 1970s. Meanwhile, fans who approach football with the kind of strategic game theory usually applied to nuclear geopolitics are giddy with the prospect that Sunday could be a test of a revolutionary style of play in football history.
The NFL doesn't seem to need brand-name matchups anymore, or legacy teams, or big-market teams. Consider that NBC's "Sunday Night Football," the highest-rated weekly show on television last fall, featured 19 of the league's 32 teams. Fans will turn out in huge numbers for all but the worst teams.
When the game airs at 6:30 p.m. EST Sunday on CBS, more than 110 million viewers are expected to tune in. Here is a guide to help each category of fan take in a potential classic.
Super Bowl XLVII
What I Really Love Are the Commercials
Producers of reality television must be kicking themselves right now for not pitching "Hanging With the Harbaughs." The series would have followed Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh and San Francisco head coach Jim. Sons of a lifelong college-football coach, born 15 months apart, they guide their teams toward an inevitable confrontation in the biggest game in North American sports.
John, the eldest, is levelheaded, less athletically gifted and brainier. He lost the quarterback job in high school to his kid brother with the rocket arm. He played defensive back at Miami of Ohio, a second-tier football school, never had a pro career and toyed with politics. Then he took over the Ravens in 2008, and made trips to the playoffs every year. He was the hottest young coach in the NFL—until guess who came along.
Jim is the fiery middle child, the classic, rabble-rousing alpha male who quarterbacked the University of Michigan to the Rose Bowl, then played 14 years in the NFL for four teams, primarily the Bears and Colts. As a kid, Jim beat on John and his friends when they played sports. "You played hockey with Jim and you got bounced around, and that was true for most sports," John Harbaugh said.
Jim has been a quick success nearly every step up the coaching ladder, rising quickly from the University of San Diego to Stanford to the 49ers, where he reached the NFC championship game his first season and the Super Bowl in this, his second one.
Anyone who has taken Psychology 101 knows the oldest child is fated to spend his life coming to terms with sharing his parents and the family spotlight with a younger sibling. Last week, while his parents were on a conference call with the media, John dialed in, masquerading as "John from Baltimore," and asked them if it was true that they liked Jim more than John.
That great football fan Sigmund Freud might refer to this as a "tendentious joke"—one with a hidden meaning. "I think every kid feels that way growing up," John Harbaugh said Tuesday. "I think I liked Jim more than me some days."
Aside from the brothers, Ray Lewis's impending retirement after a 17-year career is the sort of second-chance story Americans obsess over. Lewis, the Ravens inside linebacker, was charged with murder in 2000 after a fight in an Atlanta nightclub. He negotiated a plea to a misdemeanor obstruction of justice charge, and became an outspoken Christian. He plays in a Hannibal Lecter-style face mask and is famous for his chilling pep talks, which he gives to his own team and, if his schedule allows, just about any team in any sport at any level that will listen.
I Love Football, But I Have a Life
At its most basic level, football is 22 guys running into each other. It's often not very beautiful, unless you come from the Midwest and were raised to worship former Michigan coaching legend Bo Schembechler. Both these coaches were. To them, this line-'em-up-and-knock-'em-down style of football is poetry.
Forgive the fan who confuses the matchup between the Baltimore offense and the San Francisco defense with an Ohio State-Michigan game from the 1970s. Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco is going to spend a lot of time handing the ball off to running back Ray Rice and watching him try to follow one of the NFL's last fullbacks (Vonta Leach) through the San Francisco defense. Fullbacks have largely been replaced by tight ends and other receiving threats. Rice ran for 1,143 yards this season, but his longest run was 46 yards.
The wrinkle in the Ravens offense is their awesome downfield threat, Anquan Boldin. Just when you think they are trying to set some record on the grind-it-out meter, Flacco drops back and hits Boldin, or Torrey Smith, streaking down the sideline.
This is the not the dump-and-run West Coast offense built on short passing that changed the game in the 1980s. Boldin has magical hands and caught just 65 passes this season, but he averaged 14.2 yards per catch. Smith caught just 49 but averaged 17.4 yards. San Francisco's favorite wide receiver target, Michael Crabtree, averaged just 13 yards per catch.
The Ravens offense represents a victory for effectiveness over imagination. Coincidentally, so does the San Francisco 49ers defense.
The NFL has been watching New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick design his maze of blitzes and stunts for decades. The San Francisco answer to that is to line up 11 of the fastest, most athletic, hardest-hitting defenders available and tell them to get after the quarterback and the ballhandler like crazed dogs.
"They don't need to do a lot of exotic things," Flacco said. "They can play downhill [straight ahead, no fancy stuff] and go fast."
Outside linebacker Aldon Smith, who had an absurd 19.5 sacks this season, explained the science behind the San Francisco defense like this: "You beat the guy in front of you. Then you go and make the big play."
Inside linebacker Novarro Bowman is more blunt. "We're a very physical team, and we just like to go out there and demonstrate it," he says.
In other words, this part of the game evokes the "voice of God" from those grainy NFL Films from the 1970s, with John Facenda's baritone narration and swelling music. "We're not going to change what we do and they're not going to change what they do," Baltimore center Matt Birk said. "It's going to be pretty straightforward."
Only 214 Days 'Til Next Season
Here's where the fun starts, because the outcome of Sunday's game may very well shape the NFL for the foreseeable future.
For much of the last decade, NFL coaches, executives and addicts have been debating whether a team can win it all with an athletic, running quarterback and a wide open, college-style offense where a quarterback's legs are as dangerous as his arm. Each time another traditional quarterback named Manning or Brady or Brees or Roethlisberger won another Super Bowl, it drove another stake into the cause of a 21st-century quarterback. NFL defenders were just too strong and fast and smart.
Then, in November, San Francisco replaced the traditional Alex Smith with second-year pro Colin Kaepernick and all hell broke loose, especially when Kaepernick lined up 3 yards behind the ball with a running back behind him and a fullback next to him. Some quarterbacks could always scramble for a first down when receivers were covered, but none combined cannon arms with the strength, size, speed and precocious football intelligence of Kaepernick (and Redskins rookie Robert Griffin III).
Running a play called a "zone-read option" out of a formation called the "pistol," Kaepernick will read the defense while lurching forward and seeming to hand the ball off. Then sometimes he will pull the ball back to run it himself. Or he can still throw it if he wants to.
Those plays—or even just the threat of them—are quickly turning the mechanical NFL into something more like frenetic, world-class rugby. For a new generation of football addicts, it's the equivalent of last year's Higgs-boson moment, when particle physicists finally found the tiny atomic material that forms the universe.
"You line up in that pistol and you never know which way it's going," said San Francisco offensive lineman Alex Boone. "Even when he's throwing the ball, something breaks down and he takes off running."
In the copycat world of sports, a San Francisco win could change how teams pick their players and draw up game plans for years. Likewise, if Baltimore can solve Kaepernick, it will serve as further proof of the tried and true. But that's easier said than done. "Green Bay tried to contain him and Atlanta tried to attack him, and both didn't work," Baltimore defensive lineman Haloti Ngata said of Kaepernick.
Baltimore's best hope may be to freeze outside linebacker Terrell Suggs for a moment while looping one of its inside linebackers around him to attack the backfield. Or, they could blitz cornerback Cary Williams and trust a safety to cover a receiver. Neither is a great option. The idea is to pressure Kaepernick into a mistake. But that hasn't happened very often, and San Francisco is flirting not just with a championship but a revolution.
"You want to be on the cutting edge," said San Francisco quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst. "You just don't want to end up bleeding."

Somewhere in the back of my mind I thought I could recall coming across the Guardians of the Galaxy during my prime comic-book reading years in the late '70s and early '80s.
I saw "Guardians of the Galaxy" before leaving on vacation last week, and while I had the general impression that the group was a fairly recent comic-book creation, somewhere in the back of my mind I thought I could recall coming across them during my prime comic-book reading years in the late '70s and early '80s. It's amazing how many specific comic-book plots I remember from when I was 11, in contrast to certain other things from that era that I've almost completely forgotten, like math.
Sure enough, after I got back I rummaged through the box of yellowed old comic books in my basement -- they were excommunicated by my parents from their attic some years back, and I couldn't bring myself to throw them away -- and was able to turn up the two samples pictured above. I was right, I DID know the Guardians! Well, sort of.
A check of Wikipedia explains why the characters in these comics -- primarily a mirrored guy, a lady with flaming hair and a birdman -- are nowhere to be found in the movie: They're from the ORIGINAL Guardians of the Galaxy, a group of 31st century freedom fighters who apparently spent a lot of time traveling back to the 20th century and meeting American superheroes. (In fact, the plot of these comics -- a good five years before the first "Terminator" movie -- involves them trying to stop a plan by their arch-enemy to go back in time to kill the young version of the Guardians' founder in order to prevent their existence. Take that, James Cameron!)
The Guardians in the movie, meanwhile, didn't make their comics debut until 2008, and just took their name from the original Guardians. Although there was some connection involving an old Guardian who'd been wrapped in foil and put into hyper-sleep for 1,000 years, or something … Frankly I can only get so far in those Wikipedia entries about comic book chronologies before my lids get heavy and the words start to look like long strings of binary code.
And before you start sending me angry emails asking where I get off writing about comic books when I'm so clearly out of the loop, here's six minutes of "Guardians of the Galaxy" Easter eggs to distract you:
Meanwhile, no matter where the latest Guardians came from, they're in one heck of a good movie. I'll admit at first I thought the plot seemed kind of gobbledygookey (official critic term) -- something involving an abducted earth boy, purple all-purpose space villain Thanos, his adopted daughters of varying intergalactic hues, an orb and a talking raccoon.
But it's impossible not to get caught up in the film's winking humor -- Chris Pratt's Peter Quill (sorry, "Star-Lord") is easily the most likable space jockey since Han Solo, and the Rocket/Groot pairing is destined to go down in film history among the great cinematic combos, somewhere between Abbot & Costello and Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid. (Not to mention Han and Chewie.)
I look forward to the inevitable meeting of the minds between Pratt's Quill and Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark (only four years until "Avengers 3"!). In the meantime, I can only hope that the Guardians of the Galaxy craze will result in my two old comics skyrocketing in value, even if it's not THOSE Guardians. (Current prices on eBay: $1.39 and $1.98. And those copies probably aren't yellow.)

On any given day you've probably had two or three showdowns with your child over everything from brushing her teeth to getting in the car seat—all before lunch. But contrary to how things may seem, most kids like to behave in a manner that makes them (and you) proud—at least most of the time. The best way to get there: Help your child feel as if you and she are on the same team. These six strategies show you how.
Build stronger bonds
If you want your child to be more cooperative, change your focus from improving him to improving your relationship. When you dwell on the ways he's misbehaving, it just discourages both of you—you feel like a bad mom, and he feels as if he can't do anything right. Besides, all that energy you're using to correct him could be channeled into something more uplifting and effective. So try to give him positive feedback several times a day—a specific compliment on something you see him doing ("You're choosing such great colors to draw your picture," or "I really like the gentle way you played with your baby sister"). And don't forget to spend some time with your child each day, doing something he enjoys.
Be a booster
After having fed, diapered, dressed and done just about everything for your baby, it's hard to step back when she's older and let her do things herself (especially when you're in a rush). But micromanaging her life—from telling her exactly what to wear to opening her juice boxes—just sends the message that you're not confident about her abilities. So whenever you can, let her accomplish as many small tasks as possible.
And as much as you'd like to help, it's better for her to resolve some squabbles with her playmates or siblings on her own. You can encourage her to do this with a couple of simple sentences that state the problem and provide a resolution: "I understand you're angry, and I know you can use your words instead of screaming at your friend."
Sympathy Works
Stay cool
We've all been there. You tell your toddler it's time to turn off the TV, and he screams, "No!" Then you probably dig in your heels and find yourself in a shouting match.
But as you've already discovered, power struggles don't promote cooperation. They only make each of you angrier and teach your child to resist you even more.
The key is to control yourself. Maintaining your composure instead of showing your frustration lets your out-of-control child "borrow" some of your calmness. How can you do this? Label his intense feelings without judging them: "I can see you're really mad now." Then state the unacceptable behavior and give him a better alternative: "Kicking your truck isn't right. You can tell me you're angry without hurting things." If your older child likes to argue, look for something you can agree with: "That's true—it's more fun to play computer games than it is to do homework."
Remember, it takes two to keep a power struggle going. When my kids were younger, I often found that if I dropped my end of the rope in our tug-of-war (even though it pained me to do so!), they'd eventually stop resisting me, give up the battle, and concentrate instead on their behavior and how they could change it.
Try a little empathy
As busy moms, our expectations are often, naturally, self-centered: We need everyone's cooperation to get out of the house on time; we finally got the baby to nap and want our firstborn to play quietly. But it's important to examine your expectations from your child's point of view—for instance, she feels pressured when you rush through the morning routine, which prompts her to dawdle. Or everything seems to revolve around the new baby's needs, and your toddler was having fun banging on the piano.
When you notice and accept your child's feelings, it helps her handle the limits placed on her. And it takes only a few extra seconds. Instead of snapping, "We've got to leave right now or your sister's going to be late for school!" you can say, "I know it's hard to get up so early to take your sister to school. If you want, you can come in your pajamas."
And as annoying as it is, learn to tolerate a certain amount of grumbling, as long as it isn't disrespectful. Your child's "I don't want to go to bed!" lets her vent her feelings. She's also trying to distract you; if you answer her, you'll trigger a debate, which is the last thing you want. Either ignore the comment or say something understanding: "I know you wish you could keep playing with your dollhouse, but I'm afraid it's bedtime already."
It also helps to show you've heard what she said and you empathize with her ("You're sad that your friend has gone home. It's been fun having someone come over to play").
Between "You" and "I"
Blame the house
Such emotionally charged accusations as "Don't ever let me hear you call your brother that again!" are more likely to provoke resistance than matter-of-fact comments like "Name-calling isn't acceptable; our house rule says we treat everyone with respect." It's easier to get angry with a parent who's perceived as overly controlling than to do battle with an impersonal house rule.
In the same spirit, making simple observations and nonjudgmental statements about bedtime or cleanup will probably make it easier for kids to comply with the rules. Instead of saying, for example, "Your room is such a mess," try, "There are toys on the floor."
Use your "I"
Kids learn early on to tune out their parents' endless "no's" and nagging. So if your requests and commands aren't producing results, reframe them. Using "I" statements, tell your toddler what his actions do to you: "I get upset when I see you throwing food because I have to clean up the mess." (Just try not to whine when you say this!)
When you give a warning, continue to emphasize what you'll do: "I'll take away your plate if you throw your food again," and then follow through so it's not an idle threat.
As you focus on your own actions instead of harping on your child's behavior, you'll feel more in control and so will he. He'll begin to see the connection between his actions and their consequences.
Of course, no discipline strategy can make kids behave perfectly all the time. But if you and your child are caught in a bad cycle, sometimes all it takes is a change in your behavior to bring out the best in his.

Christian Siriano And Payless Team To Bring Shoppers More Immediate Access To Affordable Runway-To-Reality Style
Fashion Designer Siriano Puts His Payless Shoes in New York Fashion Week Show Feb. 9; LeToile Runway Style Available Feb. 18 at Payless Stores and Payless.com for $30
Feb 08, 2013, 03:54 ET
NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Christian Siriano and Payless ShoeSource have teamed up in a bold move to bring immediate shopper access to affordable runway fashion with the Feb. 18 availability of the LeToile, a direct-from-the-runway style featured in Siriano's show, offered at thousands of Payless stores nationwide and Payless.com for just $30.
"The LeToile style is a very wearable cocktail shoe with is black patent sling-back design that transcends the seasons and so it fit nicely in my fall collection unveiling and will be featured in my show tomorrow," said Siriano. "Fashion Week is always about the coming season -- fashion available five months out -- but I wanted to bring shoppers a direct-from-the-runway look that is available ASAP and at a great price."
Beginning February 18, shoppers can purchase the style online at Payless.com or use the "find this style at a store near you" feature to locate the style in the right size at a local store.
Siriano's Fall '13 collection is inspired by the golden age of the Russian Opera in the 1880s.
"An evening at the opera was on my mind when I was designing, and I imagined what these women attending would wear and how they might style each look together for fall. There are whispers of Russian military details too and you can really see all this come together in the shoes -- they are very regal and royal with a 1880s influence, but modern and powerful for today's sexy woman."
The LeToile is an opened-up sling-back dress pump with a platform sole featuring all-over black patent, a criss-cross detail at the toe and a playful animal print lining. Twelve additional shoe designs will hit the runway tomorrow at Christian's show and these styles will inspire the Fall '13 Christian Siriano for Payless Gold collection available at Payless in September.
"Providing trend-right shoes and accessories at affordable prices is something we pride ourselves in season after season, and with creative design partners like Christian, we are able to do just that," said Paul Jones, CEO of Payless ShoeSource. "We are excited to deliver more immediate access to fashion – giving shoppers the opportunity to purchase a style from Christian's runway show at our stores for just $30 and just a week following the big event."

American agriculture needs a solid farm program in order to negotiate from a position of strength in world trade talks, American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman said during his address at AFBF's 88th annual meeting.
"Trade matters to American agriculture. That is why we must open markets beyond our borders, to create demand that will keep us productive and profitable," Stallman said.
Although there have been recent success stories about reopening markets to U.S. beef in Japan, Columbia and Peru, South Korea is destroying its chance to have a free-trade agreement with the U.S., Stallman explained.
"South Korea has recently rejected shipments of U.S. beef that were flown in, claiming that during a visual inspection a few bone fragments the size of a half-grain of rice were discovered," he said. "If that isn't a blatant trade barrier, I don't know what is."
Delivering his seventh annual address as president of the nation's largest farm group, Stallman said economic issues like trade are second nature to Farm Bureau. However, he cautioned that "we must not lose sight of other big issues such as the extreme measures anti-agriculture groups use to present their fiction as fact to the American public."
Under siege
"Animal agriculture, in particular, is under siege," Stallman told Farm Bureau members. "Activists are coming to a state near you. These assaults must stop. This is where we draw the line. It's time to play hardball."
"The new weapon of choice to chase away livestock producers, feedlot owners and poultry growers is the Superfund Law, also known as CERCLA," Stallman said. "Superfund is the federal law used to clean up industrial toxic wastes and was never meant to apply to agriculture, which is why we are seeking a legislative clarification to set the record straight."
Approximately 4,800 Farm Bureau members from across the country are gathered in Salt Lake City for their annual meeting.
Stallman said Farm Bureau would continue to advocate on priority issues such as immigration reform and renewable energy.
"Like many Americans, we favor securing our borders and tightening enforcement on employers who knowingly disobey the law," he said. "The only way to accomplish this is to enact a comprehensive bill that addresses all aspects of the immigration process, including U.S. agriculture's need for an adequate legal workforce. If we do not meet this goal, agriculture could face losses up to $5 billion annually."
Regarding renewable energy, Stallman said its production is "a positive aspect of agriculture that will not only increase demand for our products but reduce dependency on foreign oil."
Challenging the Environmental Protection Agency's air quality standards dealing with agriculture is another Farm Bureau priority for 2007. "Science tells us that proposals to regulate agricultural dust are simply unjustifiable," Stallman said. "Dust is a natural part of farming. We will not tolerate a posse of dust deputies staking out our fencerows."

In just a dozen seconds, two pressure-cooker bombs exploded at the finish line area of the Boston Marathon last year, creating a tailspin that lasted for days. On Friday, the police officer killed during the manhunt for the bombers was memorialized as the region continued to mark the anniversary of the tragic events.
Three people died in the explosions and more than 260 people were injured.
The fourth death took place a year ago Friday when MIT Police Officer Sean Collier was shot, allegedly by the fleeing suspects, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Tamerlan died after a later shootout with police in Watertown, Mass. Dzhokhar was apprehended on the night of April 19,...

BeOS (and Haiku) has a very powerful filesystem, thanks mostly to its extensive use of attributes and live queries to search through these attributes. In order to access these powerful features over a network, you need a network file system that also supports attributes and queries - cue BeServed, Kevin Musick's network file system. A few weeks ago, the code to BeServed was donated to the Haiku project as open source under a MIT license, so HaikuNews and OSNews decided to interview Kevin Musick together. In addition, Haiku launched the Haiku Code Drive 2008.

Biodiversity continues to be lost; funding continue s to be inadequate. Can carbon markets provide insights for increasing biodiversity finance? During the 1st week of December 2009, the Green Development Mechanism 2010 Initiative kicked off international multi-stakeholder consultations about the possibility of setting up a 'green development mechanism' under the Convention on Biological Diversity - essentially a 'CDM' for biodiversity.
Currently the official multilateral financial mechanism for biodiversity is the Global Environment Facility. A so-called 'GDM' would complement the GEF by enabling international payments for biodiversity and ecosystem services, particularly from the private sector.
The kick-off consultations took place in the context of the 3rd CBD conference on business and biodiversity in Jakarta, Indonesia. It included an official side-event at the conference and a separate workshop organised by the Indonesian Ministry of the Environment. Perhaps the key challenge highlighted in the consultations is indentifying what it will take to engage the private sector substantively in such a GDM while gaining the support of the Parties to the CBD. Another key challenge is to ensure that a GDM delivers both conservation and development and in this context is able to show how private sector engagement generates net positive impacts.

How To DIY a Penny Covered Kitchen Countertop
Michael sent us an email over the weekend. He told us that he was inspired by the article about Standard Hotel's floor of pennies and decided to do his apartment countertop in the same unusual "material".
Michael sent us the link to his post all about the project at Artifacture Studios - here are some of the pertinent details on the penny project:
Since we had played with two part resins in the past, it wasn't a big step to come up with the idea of covering the bulk of our counter space in pennies. The whole process probably took 6-8 hours spread out over about a week. Most of the interstitial time was just waiting for the various parts to dry, or cure. The whole process took about $77.00 in pennies, and the total cost worked out to about $7.50/sq ft.
Michael also pointed us in the direction of the complete DIY instructions which are posted at Make:Projects.
Thanks, Michael!

Hospital officials say an emergency department that once displayed a "1980s feel" now boasts nothing of the sort.
Hospital officials say an emergency department that once displayed a "1980s feel" now boasts nothing of the sort.
Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center's expanded emergency department, completed this month, now features more space, more rooms, new equipment and cosmetic improvements.
Hospital executives, staff, business leaders and elected officials celebrated the opening of the facility Tuesday.
"There's a need in the community to see this grow," said Lexington Mayor Newell Clark.
The $1.8 million expansion project more than doubled the space for patients and staff. The department now features 12,000 square feet of space with 26 patient rooms, an increase of nine rooms, and a new eight-bed unit for minor illnesses and injuries.
"The expansion is designed to meet the needs of the community for several years," said hospital president Steve Snelgrove. "We anticipate treating more than 40,000 patients in the coming year, and we want to provide a caring, safe environment with minimal wait time."
The emergency department's lobby space also doubled with the expansion. In addition, there is a new family room and a new EMS room where paramedics and first responders can prepare reports and enjoy refreshments.
New equipment was also added, including upgrades to monitors in patient rooms.
The project was funded in part by the proceeds from Sportsmen's Saturday, an event sponsored by the LMC Foundation. Funding also came from LMC employees who designated the emergency department as the beneficiary of their annual campaign, according to hospital information.
Dr. Jim Hoekstra, who specializes in emergency medicine at Wake Forest Baptist Health, said emergency care has transformed over the years, not only in Lexington but across the nation.
"We knew we had to do something to allow for the increased volume we would see here," Hoekstra said.
LMC's emergency department had nearly 38,000 visits last year. Additionally, visits have increased by about 6,000 in the past two years.
The emergency department is staffed by physicians from Wake Forest Baptist Health. The group of about 110 physicians staff the emergency departments at Wake Forest Baptist, Cone Health and Wilkes Regional Medical Center, according to hospital information.

Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew getting MRI on strained right hamstring following team's win
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew is getting tests on his strained right hamstring.
Coach Gus Bradley says Jones-Drew will have an MRI to determine the extent of the injury.
Bradley says, "We'll know more about it once we get the results back."
Jones-Drew strained his hamstring late in Thursday night's 27-20 victory against Houston. He ran 14 times for a season-high 103 yards, including a 48-yarder in the third quarter that set up the winning touchdown. He also had 20 yards receiving.
Jones-Drew, who missed most of last season with a foot injury, has 719 yards rushing this season — 264 yards in the last three games, all wins.
Jones-Drew insisted after Thursday night's win that he would be fine.

As with possibly everything else in life, you have to seek the perfect balance. Not lying at all and telling blunt truths all the time may not seem so bad, but if this causes you to be unable to accept the opinions of others that contrast with your own, you are going to have problems. And, obviously, lying all the time is not really very beneficial either. Just gotta learn when to lie and when not to, I suppose.
Conjuring up the past is not remembering; it is replacing.
I lie way too easily, but it's usually not premeditated. Mostly I just say whatever will keep the conversation as short as possible (I hate to talk). And later I might realize there were some lies mixed in with what I said.
[add status message]
Sometimes keeping a secret is necessary. There was this one patient that did not want to know/learn the final diagnosis. He already assumed it's not good and he requested that no one should tell him. Why? To him, not knowing what it is was the only thing he could control. If he did learn it, he couldn't possibly (in his own words) turn it for the better. He rather let that information be erased on his memories. So, yes. This one of the points keeping a secret is necessary.
word of the day: facetious
Sometimes I lie to avoid offending people. It's easy to do. Perhaps too easy. As how I feel about it? Eh, I'm neutral on the subject. I don't care either way as long as the lies aren't about important things.
Status Alert: This is a Status Message.
I lie as minimal as possible. I like telling the truth. If you're too sensitive, it isn't anyone else's fault. However, some lies are better than the honest truth.
My Boss, "I have to leave early, my wife got hurt." (may or may not be a lie, and to be honest, I don't really care.)
Me, "Oh I'm so sorry, to hear that, I hope she's okay. I'll see you later!" (complete lie.)
I don't care about him. I don't care about his wife I don't care whether he's at work or off in some shallow grave. But if he really knew that, I wouldn't have a job now would I? I have to acknowledge him, so mine as well act out a passionate and empathetic white lie, right?
I wish for the day that Hikaru no Go is added to CR.
the only time i ever think its okay to lie is when it is a harmless lie to make some one feel better or spare their feelings like when they say "do i look fat in this?" no one ever point blank responds "yes you look like a cow" you always tell them no it looks good on you. there are lies that you just say just because its natural. but do i think its right to lie about large things and hide them no. not at all lies always destroy relationships. be them intimate friendship of family.
At least when you hit bottom there is no where else to go but up again
One has to consider the implications of lying; are the benefits of withholding the truth worth the consequences that might result if the lie is exposed?
It can hurt to tell the truth, but it also hurts to not be trusted. Likewise, it can hurt to hear the truth, but it also hurts to learn you can't trust someone. One also has to consider what actions might result from a lie that is believed - people act on the information they are given, and if they end up looking like a fool because of a lie you told them, they are likely to be rather displeased.
Having said that, I still tend to lie if I feel people are asking questions I don't feel like answering but know I can't brush them off - sometimes I just want to be left alone and not be pestered. If I feel there is a legitimate need for someone to know the answer to their question, though, I generally avoid lying.

I only lie if it's absolutely necessary.
good bye
I'm not on fire.
But did you die?
Obligatory: lying is fine as long as you don't get caught.
I don't really have any concrete guidelines for when to lie. Sometimes lying is the better option, sometimes it's not. It's really that simple. it seems kind of silly to say that I won't lie if X will happen as a result, or X will be hurt. Just weight the pros and cons for the individual situation, rather than setting up rules that you must always follow. Lying is a tool. Use it wisely.
Whenever the truth leads them to the wrong conclusion, where a lie would lead them to the right one, is the proper time to lie. Sometimes the person is just simply incapable of understanding the truth (as is often the case with children, political/religious ideologues, and anyone without direct access to your thoughts or feelings), then a lie that leads them to the correct conclusion is appropriate.
Sometimes the person is fully capable of understanding the truth, but not patient or attentive enough to consider "the whole story." If you know the person won't sit around while you explain exactly why the things are the way they are, and the short (but true) version leads them to a false impression of reality, then a lie might be justified if it gives them the correct view on reality, even if the premises are BS.
In short, the only thing that matters is that they have a correct understanding of the world. If they are going to either have false assumptions that lead to correct conclusions, or correct assumptions that lead to false conclusions, (either because they don't have all the necessary assumptions, or their logic is broken), then the better choice is to end up with a true conclusion. i.e., lie.
Example for clarification -- The classic white lie: Does this make me look fat?
The correct premise: Yes
The correct conclusion: He loves me (implied: regardless of my fat ass)
The incorrect premise (lie): no
The correct conclusion: He loves me (or, I guess, my ass)
The correct premise: Yes
The incorrect conclusion (misunderstanding): He's shallow and/or thinks I'm fat and doesn't love me.
If she only wants to listen to me say "yes you look fat in that dress," or "no you don't look fat in that dress," then saying "yes" would give her an inaccurate conception of my view on her. If I am able to explain and she is able to fully understand that I actually don't care much whether she looks fat in the dress, but actually value other things more, then answering yes is preferable. If I am nearly certain that she won't come to the correct conclusion with yes, and am unable to make her understand for some reason, then a lie (that is, saying no) would be better, since it will result in the correct conclusion.
Lying is a necessary part of human interaction. We lie every day to each other and barely bat an eyelid.
"How are you?"
The biggest lie spoken by everyone every day. We say it as a matter of course because it's a social norm. There are hundreds of examples but I really don't care enough to list them.
I try to be as honest as I can. I tell people when they've fucked up and tell them when they've done good. I never say I'm fine if I'm not (I can't get away with it most times because the people I hang with know me so well that they can just tell anyway) and I always stand my ground if I don't want to do something.
Idk. Lying is fine as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. In the event that it does, well, you dun goofed.
Squabble, wobble - foil and hovel.

Like the saying goes . . "some secrets are better left unknown" , and even white lies are fine. However , when you start lying about things that really do matter it's only going to get worse imo since you're so used to lying. My two cents ~ .
exactly how i feel.
in some cases, ignorance is really, and honestly, bliss.
is often online, but doesn't check mail! sorryyyyy
I'm not a particular fan of lying, I am brutally honest and don't really shy away from any truth, though I can hold back if saying something is just plain rude or going to upset somebody for a completely unwarranted reason, though if they ask the wrong questions they will get the truth regardless of what they want to hear.
I have a couple of friends who are compulsive liars and massive attention seekers (seems to be a compatible combination), it ranges from attempting to make a story more exciting to just flat out making anything up, seemingly regardless of whether or not you're going to believe the truth.
I tend to try avoiding confronting blatant lies unless they are malicious and ill intended for example pinning blame on people or putting others down with lies, though my friends girlfriend used to come out with some awesome lies, such as she used to be an Olympic diver so when my friends and I were either drunk or stoned we used to sing the Fleetwood Mac song Little Lies to her, and she never once seemed to feel embarassed or stupid about being confronted and chose to ignore the singing completely. It doesn't get more obvious than 4 guys in your face singing "Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies". Haha denial...
It's completely fine to lie. If you took notice to your day to day routine you'll find that lying is an ingrained part of your life. There have been estimates made from 3 to 20+ lies a day. It's the little quirks you do that you don't notice. Like the "I'm doing good" thrown in after the "How are you's" in conversation. That's a very common one.
Ghost Stories dub is love, is life.

Despite having the whole mainstream media on its side, the PAP has struggled to explain the benefits of the system it has in place and convince the people that old policies and schemes should remain as they are. The less democratic aspects of the system of govt is becoming less justifiable and less acceptable to Singaporeans. Even as the aspirations for progress and change builds up, the PAP wants to maintain its dominance making as few changes as possible. To do so, it has to control the Singaporeans' access to information. The PAP wants control and influence over the online news media that has increased in popularity in the last few years. The new MDA regulations gives the PAP govt broad powers to do this.
Under the code, prohibited content includes "material that is objectionable on the grounds of public interest, public morality, public order, public security, national harmony, or is otherwise prohibited by applicable Singapore laws."
The MDA on Tuesday said websites that have at least 50,000 unique visitors from Singapore every month and publish at least one local news article per week over a period of two months must obtain an annual licence.
The MDA said the licence guidelines will "apply to all content on the news sites, including readers' comments on the news sites".
The maximum penalty for illegal broadcasting under the Broadcasting Act is a fine of $200,000 or three years' jail or both. But for sites that are licensed, failing to comply with conditions could result either in financial penalties or the licence being suspended or revoked.[Link]
"The government has granted itself power it is not entitled to. There is no public oversight. The result is people like myself have the latitude to go further than they are allowed to" , Whistle-blower Edward Snowden[Link]
"If you are concerned about electronic eavesdropping, you can use pidgin IM - it has an encryption module for instant messaging," said Donaldson Tan, editor of socio-political website New Asia Republic.
"There is also Tor client for online anonymity," he said, referring to two popular free software programs developed by volunteer programmers to guard against network surveillance.
Asked if he was concerned whether the U.S. government would share surveillance information with Singapore authorities, given the friendly ties between the two countries, Tan said: "The U.S. is really hard to read".
A Singapore government spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Several people in the region said the reports of government access to e-mails and phone calls were not surprising.
"This latest revelation, if true, is really no more than putting proof to suspicion," said Howard Lee, a blogger who often writes about political and social issues in Singapore.
"As citizens of democracies, our response should not be fear, but a concerted voice to demand accountability and transparency. I believe this is the current aim of civil society groups in Singapore."[Link]

You Can't Be Fired For 'Liking' A Colleague Calling Your Bosses 'Assholes' On Facebook
from the so-now-you-know dept
The story involved a restaurant, Triple Play Sports, that apparently made an accounting error concerning the amount of taxes withheld in paychecks. Because of this, some of the restaurant's employees had to pay more taxes. A former employee, Jamie LaFrance, who this impacted had posted angrily to Facebook:
Maybe someone should do the owners of Triple Play a favor and buy it from them. They can't even do the tax paperwork correctly!!! Now I OWE money...Wtf!!!!A current employee, Jillian Sanzone, added this helpful comment:
I owe too. Such an asshole.Another current employee, Vincent Spinella, "liked" Sanzone's comment. Soon after, Sanzone and Spinella were fired. Triple Play argued that they were fired for violating the restaurant's "Internet/Blogging Policy," which is an actual thing, apparently. It's also noteworthy that a number of other Triple Play employees took part in the conversation, and were not fired. Triple Play actually argued that the fact that it kept the other employees on board showed that it wasn't targeting protected concerted action. However, the NLRB disagreed. It first found that the entire discussion was concerted activity (it helped that one of the other employees talked about raising the issue at a future meeting). Triple Play appealed and the NLRB still said it was protected activity. As Kevin Goldberg at the CommLawBlog summarizes:
Equally important here is the holding that, because Vinnie "liked" only Jamie's original post and did not separately "like" any of the ensuing comments, his "Like" was an endorsement only of the original post and not the entire thread.The panel further noted that Triple Play's internet policy was itself a violation, since it effectively would ban protected concerted activity. This is not the first time that the NLRB has gotten involved in social media either. A few years back, we wrote about it issuing some warnings that it would not look kindly on firing people based on them speaking out on social networks. This ruling shows that it's living up to that promise.
In other words, Vinnie's "Like", without anything more, was an expression of agreement with Jamie's original, clearly non-defamatory, complaint. So a "Like" is clearly expression, at least in the eyes of this NLRB panel. And that interpretation can in turn be read to say that purely mechanical acts (e.g., clicking on the "Like" button) are "expression" under the NLRA. Based on that reasoning, I'd assume that, if you retweet something in a similar attempt to be part of a conversation or garner support for protected activity, you'd be protected as well.

Skills® Behavior Intervention Plan Builder Now Available As A Stand-Alone Web-Based Program
The innovative tool gives clinicians, educators, and behavior professionals the ability to efficiently develop effective behavior intervention plans (BIPs) for individuals who display challenging behavior.
The Skills® Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) Builder is available for the first time as a stand-alone program that is designed to treat the root cause of challenging behavior. The BIP Builder offers newly-enhanced features and is the ultimate tool for efficiently designing effective BIPs to decrease challenging behavior using the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA). The program utilizes evidence-based practices and emphasizes least-intrusive procedures.
The Skills® BIP Builder has been available as a component of the Skills® Online Autism tool, which is comprised of comprehensive skills assessment, treatment planning, and progress tracking and reporting. Now, professionals have the option to access the Skills® BIP Builder as a stand-alone program in order to address challenging behaviors commonly displayed by individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental and behavioral disorders.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) one in every 88 children in America is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, making it more prevalent than juvenile diabetes, pediatric cancer and pediatric AIDS combined. Moreover, in the study "Symptom Severity and Challenging Behavior in Children with ASD," published in the November 2010 journal Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 94 percent of the children with ASD who participated in the study exhibited some form of challenging behavior. These behaviors include repeated and unusual vocalizations, aggression toward others, property destruction, leaving the supervision of a caregiver without permission, and repeated and unusual body movements.
"We are pleased to offer professionals an easy-to-use tool that streamlines the process of conducting a functional behavioral assessment, designing a BIP, and implementing that plan, allowing more time to working directly with individuals, instead of spending hours creating plans and graphs," said Eliana Ferreira, Skills® director and general manager. "Additionally, the stand-alone version is available for purchase in packages that match the needs of a variety of professional practices and school sizes."
The BIP Builder is based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA), which assumes that challenging behavior is not a part of an individual's diagnosis but, rather, a result of that individual's environment. Clinicians and educators implement BIPs to outline the procedures that will be used to manage challenging behavior and identify replacement behaviors that should be taught. It serves as the means by which the treatment team ensures consistency while safeguarding the individual and those who work with the individual. In treatment, it is vital to address challenging behavior before teaching new skills.
According to a randomized controlled study, "Randomized Evaluation of a Web-Based Tool for Designing Function-Based Behavioral Intervention Plans," published in the December 2013 journal of Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, the Skills® BIP Builder had a positive impact on the behavior intervention plans designed by professionals working with children with autism.
"We found that, by simply using the online BIP Builder, professionals produced substantially higher quality behavior intervention plans," said Jonathan Tarbox, PhD, BCBA-D, the lead author of the study and executive director of Autism Research Group. "We were very encouraged to see that an improvement in quality could be produced merely by the provision of a computer program for staff to use."
Skills® BIP Builder is comprised of the following four steps: 1) answer a series of core questions about the challenging behavior; 2) design your BIP by selecting antecedent modifications, replacement behaviors, and consequence manipulations; 3) customize and store the BIP for easy access and update as needed, and 4) graph and analyze your data to evaluate the effectiveness of the BIP.

The Auburn Tigers held a two-hour practice in shells Monday afternoon at the Auburn Athletics Complex practice fields, their fourth practice of the preseason. After practice, defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson and offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee assessed the progress so far.
"You can tell there's a great carryover from the two older guys (at quarterback) in the spring and the two new guys are very eager. They're getting better each day," said Lashlee about the quarterbacks in camp. "I'll tell you one thing, our defense is flying around and I think that's really encouraging to the quarterbacks."
"We've overloaded our kids a bit, but they are working at it," said Johnson about the Auburn defensive unit. "What we did this spring, they've retained pretty well."
The Tigers return to the practice field Tuesday afternoon for their first workout in full pads of the preseason. Auburn's season opener is Saturday, August 31, at Jordan-Hare Stadium versus Washington State in a 6 p.m. Central kickoff.
