Win streak over, Southern goes back to work
BY MIKE McCALL
Advocate sportswriter
October 18, 2012
Whatever magic dust interim coach Dawson Odums had sprinkled on the Southern football team, it wore off.
At least for a week.
After winning two straight until Saturday's momentum-zapping 20-17 loss at Alcorn State, the question now is how the Jaguars will respond. Will they slip back into a funk? Or retain some confidence and bounce back?
That can't be judged until Saturday's homecoming matchup with Texas Southern, but in the meantime, the players are keeping the mindset they had before their two-game win streak.
"The mentality is still the same. We haven't done anything. We haven't accomplished anything," defensive tackle Casey Narcisse said.
That humbling thought is one of truth and necessity. Wins over Jackson State and Florida A&M were huge emotionally, but they didn't loom as large in the Southwestern Athletic Conference standings.
There, SU (2-3, 1-2 SWAC) is a game and a half behind division leader Arkansas-Pine Bluff, and while winning out would book a spot in the conference title game, based on Saturday's performance, the team has a lot of work to do before a run like that could be considered likely.
Odums said the first step — just as was the case after wins — is making his players forget the weekend's result.
"It's the same challenge going into every week," Odums said. "You have to teach the young men how to put things behind them and focus on the task at hand, and that's Texas Southern. We'll do the best job we can as a staff, and we've done pretty good getting these guys ready to play coming off some adverse situations, so we're excited, and we're ready for the challenge."
A major task will be finding some rhythm on offense. The Jaguars have six offensive touchdowns in the past three games, three of which have come on one-play drives.
While those quick-hitting scores are certainly a positive, they haven't been backed by much consistency. That was especially clear against Alcorn State, when Southern trailed by a large margin in time of possession: 37:32 to 22:28.
In the second half, SU held the ball for only 8:35, and quarterback Dray Joseph said the Braves' late touchdown was a product of the defense having to stay on the field for such a long period of time.
"I just think mentally we came out kind of slow offensively, but we're going to get better," Joseph said.
TSU, which will come in with the conference's worst defense statistically, might help with that, but the Jaguars will also look to refocus this week and come out with more energy, lest they open up the kind of streak that's painfully familiar after the past few seasons: a losing one.
"We see how the two teams in the past two weeks felt when we came up with the win," cornerback Virgil Williams said. "We're just going to put this behind us."

Funny how things work out. Karen and I are about to leave for Israel for the unveiling for Karen's father ZT'L. And this week, Virtual Jerusalem, the fine website serializing my How I Married Karen story, is running the very chapter where I ask Rabbi Singer's permission to marry Karen. As they say in Hollywood: timing is everything.
The unveiling for Karen's father, Rabbi Philip Harris Singer ZT'L will take place Friday, November 24, 2006 (Kislev 3) at 10:00 am. The cemetery is Eretz Hachaim near Beit Shemesh, Israel. Block 1 Section 8.
Karen and I are flying to Israel on Sunday November 19th.

Todays weather was bizarrely nice for the first of March. We had a mild winter and the spring is coming in early. All the trees are already budding and I have new grass poking through the mud in the front yard.
It actually hit 80 degrees outside and did not rain for the first day in weeks. I loved it so much that I took the dogs outside with me and let them bask in the sun while I raked the front yard.
The only thing that worries me is the old wives tale about March coming in like a lamb means that March will go out like a lion. I hope this weather stays nice from here on out and that we don't have a relapse of cold and rain.

A study has found no link between stroke and dementia rates and the amount of antioxidants people get from their diets. That's a different conclusion from some other studies. Researchers suggest that the new results show the source of antioxidants is important. The study included about 5,400 people, age 55 or older. They didn't have dementia when the study began. Only about 100 had ever had a stroke. People filled out questionnaires about what they usually ate and drank. In the next 14 years, 599 developed dementia and 601 had a stroke. There was no difference in stroke or dementia rates between people who consumed more or fewer antioxidants. Coffee and tea drinking was the main difference in diet for people who consumed the most antioxidants. These drinks contain antioxidants known as flavonoids. Other research has found lower stroke and dementia rates for people who consumed more antioxidants from fruits and vegetables. The journal Neurology published the new study online. HealthDay News wrote about it February 20.
By Robert H. Shmerling, M.D.
Harvard Medical School
What Is the Doctor's Reaction?
It's hard to escape the news stories and advertisements about the health benefits of antioxidants. And the message is clear: You'd better be getting plenty of them!
But have you ever wondered why antioxidants are supposed to be good for you? Antioxidants help protect cells from free radicals. Free radicals are chemicals that can damage cells and genetic material.
There are several sources of free radicals. They are byproducts of chemical reactions that turn food into energy. They are found in certain foods and in the air. The body also creates them in response to sun exposure. So you are bound to be exposed to free radicals. But antioxidants are thought to provide some measure of protection.
Examples of antioxidants include:
What are the supposed health benefits of a diet high in antioxidants? The list is impressive, including reduced risks of:
Most of the studies that suggest these health benefits of antioxidants were done in the same way. They compared the diets of people with and without a disease (such as dementia) and found lower rates of disease among those who consumed more of at least one antioxidant. These findings have led to much promotion of antioxidants as a way to prevent disease.
But each antioxidant is unique. So it's not clear whether one antioxidant or all of them are responsible for the health benefits shown in some past studies.
Researchers studying brain disease attempted to sort this out. The study included nearly 5,400 people ages 55 or older. They did not have signs of dementia. Nearly all were free of stroke. Everyone answered detailed surveys about what they ate during the prior year.
Researchers kept track of people for about 14 years. They found that people who did or did not develop dementia consumed about the same amount of foods containing antioxidants. There was also no difference in these foods between people who had strokes and people who didn't.
An earlier study found a link between antioxidant intake and a lower stroke risk. That study attributed the benefit to consuming more alcohol, fruits and vegetables. In this new study, people consumed more antioxidants mainly because of the coffee and tea they drank. Coffee and tea contain high levels of flavonoids.
Together, these studies suggest the type of antioxidant may matter more than the total amount.
This study is a good example of how simple notions about health may be incorrect. The relationship between antioxidant intake and disease is complex. It takes high-quality research to sort out the important details.
What Changes Can I Make Now?
Despite all the hype, the best studies of antioxidants have not found the reductions in disease that doctors had hoped to see. In fact, one study found a higher rate of lung cancer among heavy smokers who took beta-carotene. Another trial found a higher rate of skin cancer for women taking antioxidant pills.
None of this has stopped advertisers from using antioxidants as a selling point for supplements, energy drinks and even breakfast. So the first change you can make is to think twice before getting on the antioxidant bandwagon. Clearly, we don't have a complete understanding of their health effects.
Fortunately, you can take other measures that might reduce your risk of stroke and dementia.
If you take antioxidants now, talk to your doctor about this study and whether you should keep taking them.
What Can I Expect Looking to the Future?
You can expect continued debate about which antioxidants are best, how you should get them (food or pills) and how much you should take. Future research should clear up the role of antioxidants in health and disease. But, regardless of the results, you can expect to see advertisers continue to promote antioxidants as long as it increases sales.

Man Charged With Shooting at Police Receiving Mental Evaluation
Richard A. Petarius, 76, could spend the rest of his life in prison if he's convicted of an attempted homicide charge.
The 76-year-old man accused of firing a rifle at Waukesha police officers will undergo a mental evaluation to determine if he is competent for trial.
Richard A. Petarius, of Watertown, could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted of the nine charges that range from attempted homicide of a police officer to violating a domestic abuse injunction.
Petarius, who is being held at the Waukesha County Jail on $500,000 bail, will return to court at 10 a.m. Nov. 16.
Petarius, who was a clown with Tripoli Shrine in 2008, is accused of pointing a shotgun at officers investigating a domestic abuse incident at Petarius' ex-wife's Racine Avenue home Oct. 23. Police shot at him before he returned fire, according to a criminal complaint.
Officers shot 26 times at Petarius while getting to safety with Petarius' ex-wife. One police officer was struck by bullet debris from Petarius' shot, but Petarius was uninjured, according to the complaint.
The Waukesha officers' call for backup prompted a large response with dozens of squad cars from other southeastern Wisconsin police agencies and the FBI.
The domestic violence incident occurred two days after Radcliffe Haughton shot and killed three women at a Brookfield spa. Haughton was ordered to not possess guns as a term of a restraining order his wife, Zina Haughton, had obtained against him. Zina Haughton, a hairstylist at the Azana Salon & Spa, was killed in the shooting.
The two cases had similar backgrounds with vastly different conclusions. Petarius was also ordered to have no weapons as a condition of a restraining order filed against him. However, he stole his son-in-law's shotgun while staying with him in Neenah, according to the criminal complaint.
Petarius' wife told officers she endured decades of abuse and divorced Petarius in March, the complaint states.

Fred, technically he doesn't face a life sentence. However, because of the length of prison time he's facing if convicted, it's effectively equal to a life sentence.

Sharon Hill man dies in Christmas Eve fire
SHARON HILL — Fire officials are investigating a Christmas Eve blaze that left one man dead.
The one-alarm fire started around 6:30 p.m. Monday at a home on the 100 block of Ridley Avenue, firefighters said. The fire began in a front bedroom on the second floor, they said.
The victim was found trapped under debris after the fire was extinguished. Several search teams had looked for the man as firefighters battled the flames. He was declared dead at the scene.
Authorities have not yet released the victim's name. The cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
Caution tape still surrounded the house Tuesday morning and Christmas decorations could be seen strewn across the lawn. A blue tarp covered a portion of the second story.
Sharon Hill Fire Chief William Benecke was not available to comment Tuesday, but a fire official confirmed the details of media reports.
"From a family standpoint, I don't think you could have anything worse than to lose your family on Christmas Eve," Benecke told NBC 10 Monday. "It's hard any day, but especially on Christmas Eve ... We just keep them in our prayers and hope they get through it."
Benecke also said a woman, believed to be the victim's mother, made it out of the house.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Biennial International Conference
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated began as vision of nine college students on the campus of Howard University. The sorority has grown into a union of thousands of college-trained women who are bound by a powerful mystique, a real moving factor in the lives of students in more than four hundred institutions of higher learning; it is one of the most solvent corporations in the world today.
As Alpha Kappa Alpha has grown, it has kept in balance two very important themes: the importance of the individual and strength of an organization of women of courage and ability. As the world became more complex, there was a need for associations which cut across racial, geographical, political, physical and social barriers.

3. | Aesthetically Challenged | ||
A euphemism for ugly. A politically correct term similar to "mentally challenged", "vertically challenged", and "horizontally challenged". (Which mean retarded, short, and fat, respectively. "In Washington D.C. and Santa Cruz, California, it's actually illegal to discriminate against people who are aesthetically challenged. Damn liberals..."
"I'm not ugly! I'm just *aesthetically challenged*!" |

Not pleasant to look at. Man, those hating witches are so aesthetically challenged. Their faces are eye-gouging inducive. It really makes me sick to look in their general direction.

Someone who is considered to be unattractive. Dang, he's seriously aesthetically challenged, somebody make it stop.

I've seen lots of gorgeous pages in the galleries recently in which scrappers have used a photo in place of a background paper. Being a fan of any technique that puts photos front and center, I decided to give it a try.
Sometimes trying something new can be a bit intimidating and I went through several processes until I found one that worked for me. Thought I'd share it here for others who may want to try.
First I identified a photo I wanted to use as my primary background photo. We spent a few days this summer with friends an family on Jetty Island and my mom got this great shot that capture the sand, water and surrounding mountains.
Next I 'hide' the photo background so I could scrap my remaining photos. You can hide and layer by clicking on the eye icon to the left of it in the layers palette. To scrap the rest of my photos, I decided to use this template from Cindy Schneider's Set 96.
I focused only on creating the cluster around the photos and deleted the templates background layers.
Unhiding my background photo by clicking on the eye icon again, I ended up with something that looks like this.
I resized and moved the photo cluster. To easily move them all at once, I held down the control key and clicked on each layer in the layers palette. Then I clicked the links icon (looks like a chain) at the bottom of the layers palette. Once linked, layers will move and resize together. See the Creating Your First Page tutorial for an introduction to moving and resizing. I ended up moving around a few elements and added my title.
As a last touch I used a mask from Sanded Photo Masks 2 to rough up the edges on the main photo. A tutorial on photo masks is available here.

Mediterranean diet may help prevent heart disease, strokes
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A Mediterranean diet high in olive oil, nuts, fish and fresh fruits and vegetables may help prevent heart disease and strokes, according to a new large study from Spain.
Past research suggested people who eat a Mediterranean-like diet have healthier hearts, but those studies couldn't rule out that other health or lifestyle differences had made the difference.
For the new trial, researchers randomly assigned study volunteers at risk of heart disease to a Mediterranean or standard low-fat diet for five years, allowing the team to single out the effect of diet, in particular.
"This is good news, because we know how to prevent the main cause of deaths - that is cardiovascular disease - with a good diet," said Dr. Miguel Angel Martinez-Gonzalez, who worked on the study at the Universidad de Navarra in Pamplona.
He and colleagues from across Spain assigned almost 7,500 older adults with diabetes or other heart risks to one of three groups.
Two groups were instructed to eat a Mediterranean diet - one supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil and the other with nuts, both donated for the study - with help from personalized advice and group meetings. The third study group ate a "control" diet, which emphasized low-fat dairy products, grains and fruits and vegetables.
Over the next five years, 288 study participants had a heart attack or stroke or died of any type of cardiovascular disease.
People on both Mediterranean diets were 28 to 30 percent less likely to develop cardiovascular disease than those on the general low-fat diet, the researchers reported Monday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The new study is the first randomized trial of any diet pattern to show benefit among people initially without heart disease, said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, who studies nutrition and cardiovascular disease at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.
NOT DUE TO SINGLE INGREDIENT Continued...
It's the blend of Mediterranean diet components - not one particular ingredient - that promotes heart health, according to Martinez-Gonzalez.
"The quality of fat in the Mediterranean diet is very good," he told Reuters Health. "This good source of calories is replacing other bad sources of calories. In addition, there is a wide variety of plant foods in the Mediterranean diet," including legumes and fruits as desserts, Martinez-Gonzalez added.
"I think it's a combination of what's eaten and what's not eaten," agreed Mozaffarian, who wasn't involved in the new research.
"Things that are discouraged are refined breads and sweets, sodas and red meats and processed meats," he told Reuters Health. "The combination of more of the good things and less of the bad things is important."
Martinez-Gonzalez suggested people seeking to improve their diet start with small changes, such as forgoing meat one or two days per week, cooking with olive oil and drinking red wine with meals rather than hard alcohol.
Replacing a high-carbohydrate or high-saturated fat snack with a handful of nuts is also a helpful change, said Teresa Fung, a nutrition researcher at Simmons College in Boston who also wasn't on the study team.
"All of these steps are making, at the end of the day, a big difference," Martinez-Gonzalez said.
Fung pointed out many people in the new trial were already on medications, such as statins and diabetes drugs.
"The way I see it is, even if people are on medication already, diet has substantial additional benefit," she told Reuters Health.
That's likely the case for people without heart risks - including high blood pressure or cholesterol - as well, Fung added. Continued...
"This is a high-risk group, but I don't think people should wait until they become high-risk in order to change," she said.

Part Two of a Seven-Part Series
While Part 1 of this series laid out the significant benefits in safety and savings that could come from a driverless car, there is an old saying: One man's savings are another man's lost revenue.
The fact is that a driverless car would slash hundreds of billions of dollars of annual revenue, or even trillions, from all sorts of entities: car makers, parts suppliers, car dealers, auto insurers, auto financiers, body shops, emergency rooms, health insurers, medical practices, personal-injury lawyers, government taxing authorities, road-construction companies, parking-lot operators, oil companies, owners of urban real estate, and on and on and on.
At the same time, the driverless car will create enormously lucrative business opportunities to serve new customer needs.
I'll turn first to the revenue that is in peril and then examine the opportunities. I invite you to offer your own ideas on potential business threats and opportunities. Please share them in the comments section below.
While car sales might initially boom, as the fleet shifted to driverless cars, sales would then fall off a cliff—and new and used car sales add up to a $600 billion-a-year business in the US. Any drop in sales would also affect auto finance companies, which write loans for almost 70% of new car purchases and half of used car purchases. Many parts would disappear from cars: Who needs airbags if you aren't going to crash, or backup assistance when the car parks itself? The amount of steel used in cars would drop, because cars wouldn't need to be as massive and sturdy. Body shops would mostly disappear for lack of business.
Auto insurers, which collect more than $200 billion in personal auto premiums each year in the US, would initially see profits rise as accidents declined and payments to customers dropped. They would, however, eventually see something like 90% of premiums disappear. In fact, the US model of mandatory personal auto insurance might become archaic.
Emergency rooms would lose millions of patients a year, and hospitals would have hundreds of thousands fewer people who needed to stay overnight. Health insurers would have to give up revenue as car-related injuries plummeted.
Personal-injury lawyers would see car-related cases all but disappear. In fact, the trend is already moving in that direction because the spread of cameras and sensors in cars makes it much easier to document who is to blame in an accident and removes the gray areas where lawyers may get involved.
If cars are in nearly constant use and can come when called, the need for parking almost vanishes. One MIT study claims that, in some U.S. cities, parking lots cover more than a third of the land area. Other estimates are that there are as many as 2 billion parking spaces in the U.S., about the size of Connecticut and Vermont combined. Much of this valuable real estate could be reclaimed for more beneficial social and economic purposes. At the same time, property values, especially in cities, would decline as additional supply becomes available.
Google Driverless Cars have driven over 300,000 miles now without an accident while in driverless mode. And this is on every day streets and highways. A driver is always in the car, because it is required by law, but the cars are doing just fine on their own. Yes, lots more testing will have to be done, but the day is coming.
Honestly, I doubt it will be in my lifetime, but probably by the time we're in the second half of this century, you're likely to be sitting at a red light next to a car with no driver in it.
Yet somehow society was able to convert from horse led wagons to these mysterious mechanic vehicles that carried around all this explosive liquid. Why? Because the combustion engine, although not perfect and not foolproof was a SIGNIFICANT improvement. Somehow I think if self driving cars offer even a handful of the benefits laid out in this article that the masses will flock to them in the long run even if they are not perfect at the start.
Everything you just said could be applies to the power brakes in current day cars. Think about it, all it takes is for your brakes to have a computer issues and you have all the same problems.
Most people don't realize how much we already rely on very complicated computer systems for safety. But the reality is, these things are already in place, have already proven to be significant improvement for safety, and take a good amount of human reaction out of the equation. Self driving cars are just advancing that system even further.
You are talking like Google's "aspirations" are reality. They haven't proven those "ASPIRATIONS".
Get a clue. Do you not think that auto makers like Mercedes or Volvo, etc. haven't already been working on this? They are FAR better equipped to work on this technology than Google.
Sorry, this isn't going to happen for a VERY long time. I'm almost willing to bet that teleportation will come along sooner and throw the whole driverless car concept out the window. I like driving, especially if it's a nice car. That's part of owning a car, is the DRIVING experience. If you are the type that would rather fall asleep because you don't like driving, then you should maybe take a bus, train, or taxi. I like driving. Sure, I'm all for safer driving, but not the loss of being able to drive the car myself. cars can be safer to prevent accidents or protect the driver from being hurt in an accident a LOT easier and less expensive than a driverless system that takes all of the fun of driving out in the first place.
The cheapest ways of becoming safer drivers is to take a some serious driver safety classes with hands on experience, not drinking alcohol or consuming drugs, and getting plenty of rest and driving a safe and properly maintained car. That's a LOT easier than cooking some scam to make people think that driverless cars are going to be safer.
You can't expect perfection with Google, that's why they are successful. NO one complains when they have security problems or other bugs in their OS, they expect it.
How many times do you want to make exactly the same point?
Since even the 1960s programmers have known how to build fail safes into mission critical systems. They don't build them into your laptop because it would double the price.
"I like driving, especially if it's a nice car. That's part of owning a car"
People said the same thing about horses.
Your claims would be valid if they were trying to replace something that was 100% reliable.
Google does not have to invent a perfectly reliable machine. They only have to invent one that's better than the average human and we already know how to design computers that are far more reliable than humans.
Planes currenlty do take off and land with far fewer crashes than when humans had that job. The pilot is there to reassure the passengers and check to make sure the computer tells him that everything is till OK, not fly the plane under anything resembling normal circumstances. You get a few corner cases where a pilot has to try to land a plane in a cornfield, river, or straight stretch of highway but taking pilots out of planes wouldn't cause so much as a blip in the airline accident statistics.
We don't have to make a 100% safe car. We only need to make a car that is significantly safer than the average human driver.
We're not the delusional ones. We can prove the computers are more reliable than you because we know how many accidents humans have per mile driven and how many accidents the computers have per mile driven under the same conditions. You're the one who thinks you're more reliable than the machines with nothing to back it up.
Not really. Licenses like this are issued by state. All that needs to happen is for one state to get on board and then a bunch of others will get on the bandwagon. Nobody wants to be left out of the future.
I think Nevada has already issued some driverless licenses.
I think you can add that never, is a very long time. We've grown a bit impatient with technological process even though it continues the exponential march. Perhaps it's because we underestimated some of the complexity of the tasks, but in the end, none of these advancements is technically impossible.
If we're impatient, then there is a lot we can actually do to help accelerate it. Instead of voicing criticism we can create demand, be it in commerce or government.
I look forward to your last post in the series, because I really do think people need to wake up to the reality that we are already in motion. If we want to have a better future we need to start planning now for what we want it to look like. Otherwise the dystopian versions may be allowed to become self-fulfilling prophecies.
I waxed a bit on the changes ahead including driverless cars three years ago and I'll be interested to see how long it is relevant: http://feedbackgovernsdynamics.blogspot.com/2009/05/hang-on-get-ready-and-go.html

The largest river in New England, the Connecticut River originates at the Connecticut Lakes in northern New Hampshire and flows south, acting as the border between New Hampshire and Vermont before crossing into Massachusetts and then bisecting Connecticut and flowing into Long Island Sound at Old Saybrook.

The largest river in New England, the Connecticut River originates at the Connecticut Lakes in northern New Hampshire and flows south, acting as the border between New Hampshire and Vermont before crossing into Massachusetts and then bisecting Connecticut and flowing into Long Island Sound at Old Saybrook. The Connecticut River, designated as an American Heritage River in 1997, was first seen by a Europen in 1614 when Dutch explorer Adriaen Block said up from the Sound. In the decades following the British and the Dutch built trading posts in Windsor and Hartford, respectively. Like most waterways, the Connecticut was a major transportation route for centuries and many industries were built along its banks. In the late 1800s, the river was used for massive logging drives from as far away as Canada. These days, the Connecticut River is used primarily for fishing and recreational boating, as communities along the river have discouraged further development along the banks and controls were enacted to clean up damage caused by industrial plants. Thanks, in part, to the Clean Water Act of 1965, the river has been upgraded from a Class D to a Class B river.

JCC camp director likes feeling of going to camp, even at age 33
Palm Beach Post, July 26, 2012Rachel Fox has been going to summer camp since she was in kindergarten. And, even at age 33, she cant think of a better place to be. The Palm Beach Gardens resident is the director of Camp Shalom at the JCC of the Palm Beaches in Palm Beach Gardens and Boynton Beach, where she coordinates activities, registration and programming for hundreds of children entering kindergarten through 10th grade. And keeping 600 kids busy, happy and safe is no easy task. Thats why Fox begins planning for the 10-week camps in September.read the entire article >>
Center plans to reach growing Jewish population
Palm Beach Post, April 25, 2012A plan to spend $30 million to build a new Jewish Community Center and Arthur I. Meyer Jewish Academy is scheduled to go before the city council May 3. The one-story, 56,000-square-foot JCC building with a preschool serving up to 192 students would open next year on Hood Road. The 41,600-square-foot academy building would be built on the same property to serve up to 500 students. The existing K-8 school on Military Trail in West Palm Beach plans to stay open until the new building opens in 2014. Paul Gross, 76, has been president of the Jewish Community Center for about two years. The New Jersey native owned his own insurance company, The NIA Group, until two years ago. He and his wife, Gayle, have been married 56 years. Q: Why north county for the new Jewish Community Center?read the entire article >>
Concentration camps survivor's tale brings urgency to Holocaust Remembrance Day
Palm Beach Post, April 20, 2012The day was nearly 70 years ago, but George Salton remembers it vividly. His parents left their ghetto in Nazi-occupied Poland for a factory farm in the Ukraine - but left their 14-year-old son behind. Salton's parents thought it would be better for him if he stayed behind, and that they'd be reunited down the road. The Nazis thought differently. Salton ended up in one concentration camp, then nine more, and never saw his parents again. "My heart trembles when I think about if they knew what lie ahead," Salton, now 84 and a Palm Beach Gardens resident, told a crowd of about 150 people who gathered today at the Ross Jewish Community Center to observe Yom Hashoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day, which began at sundown Wednesday and ended at sundown today.read the entire article >>

The latest news from the folks over at The Onion: Apple is working hard to move streets, buildings, and natural features of the Earth itself to be consistent with their heavily criticized Maps software.
The latest news from the folks over at The Onion: Apple is working hard to move streets, buildings, and natural features of the Earth itself to be consistent with their heavily criticized Maps software.
Apple lost its beloved leader one year ago today. Here's the company's memorial video, released this morning.
Apple debuted the hotly anticipated iPhone 5 in San Francisco today, and it looks to be worth the wait, if you're into that sort of thing.
With a longer design allowing for a fifth row of icons, it's also 20 percent lighter and 18 percent thinner than the iPhone 4S. The new phone also features ultra-fast wi-fi, a super-fancy new camera, and a twofold CPU speed increase.
Apple is also promising "full console quality" graphics, if you can still get past touch controls for your gaming on the go.
Battery life is going to see improvements: eight hours making calls, and up to 225 on standby.
It's nice to know that Apple hasn't skimped on the features, but can it live up to the expectations of such an opinionated user base?
The iPhone 5 will ship on September 21.
Nobody honestly believes that the joke Siri told John Malkovich in Apple's latest iPhone commercial was funny, so Slacktory has given it a major upgrade with a play on one of the all-time classics.
(Sorta not safe for work, iPhones doing dirty, depraved things.)
In something that is both dated, awkward, and just unintentionally hilarious, this Apple-produced video, "Blue Busters," takes shots at IBM using Ray Parker Jr's "Ghostbusters" as its reference point. Even better are the cameos by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, which puts them in the unique position of being innovators of dis videos.
Deathxploitation of the Day: Sony Music and Apple are being criticised today for capitalizing on the death of Whitney Houston by raising the price of her Ultimate Collection by nearly five dollars.
The Guardian reports that news of the singer's demise led Sony Music to raise the wholesale price of the 1997 hits compilation, prompting Apple to increase
RIP: Steve Jobs, co-founder and former-CEO of Apple Inc., passed away today at the age of 56.
Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2004. His failing health forced him to resign his role as Apple's CEO earlier this year, as he felt he could "no longer meet my duties and expectations."
"Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has los

Posted | Discussion |
Aug. 8, 2010 titanhd Men's 50 262 posts | USSSA WORLD SERIES USSSA WORLD TOURNEY played at Maumee. No Senior Bats ,Classic M Ball.Competitve division (M & M+) allowed 7 hrs. REC, Div (AAA & AA) 3 hrs and one up. Very well run tourney and those that could hit HR's hit them.Bats and Balls were no factor. Windy City beat OKI for the 50 Comp. Doug and DONs beat Motown for the 50 REC. Line drive beat PACE (NY) for 55 Comp. Don't know any of the remaining results |
Aug. 8, 2010 Swampy 24 posts | The fields were good, the game times were set where the tournament did not get behind schedule. Have to disagree about the bats not being a factor. Balls were coming off the bats just like the senior bats. |
Aug. 8, 2010 titanhd Men's 50 262 posts | Swampy, that's what I meant.Good bat ball combo.No need for senior bats. |
Aug. 9, 2010 Al33 Men's 55 185 posts | I guess we can agree to disagree. The tournament WAS very well run. The complex was indeed nice. The umpires were good overall. No major problems. As far as the bats and balls, Here's where we disagree. The home run was NOT a factor in this tournament. Not even close. My team played five games and there was ONE home run between the teams. Even the normal home run hitters weren't hitting them out. The ball wasn't coming off he bat like senior bats. The wind was a huge factor. 20-30 mph winds both days. Most of the very few home runs I witnessed were wind aided. Many of the outfielders were only playing about 250 ft. The fences were 305 ft. and 10-12 ft. high. The bat/ball combo was AVERAGE at best. This 40 core ball produced a huge amount of knuckle balls. The 70 foot bases also played a large impact on this tournament. This was much more of a singles and doubles tournament than anything else. Might be OK for a change, but a steady diet of it would be hard to swallow. When I see men who normally hit the ball with authority and power who usually take full hard swings, cutting down their swings, going the other way or UP THE MIDDLE and totally changing what they normally do. This tells me something is different or wrong. Also, if I was a betting man, I'd wager there were some altered USSSA approved bats being used. Just a guess. |
Aug. 10, 2010 butch17 Men's 55 415 posts | I think the tournment was well run with the proper time limits, very good umpiring 70 foot bases fields nice could have been watered every third game or so they got pretty rough in the middle of the day. I saw plenty of homeruns in the tourney so I and A133 must have been watching different games. On the note of altered bats I believe there may have been some but I also believe there is about the same when senior bats are allowed. Whats wrong with hitting to all parts of the field? I also saw a lot of great defense from outfielders and infielders that maybe we would not have got to see with the ultra or combats. The scores seemed to be in the high teens and twenties so I would say the bat and ball combo was pretty good. Just my thoughts and congrats to all that participated as I saw a lot of old friends and meet new ones and that is what senior ball is really about. Butch |
Aug. 10, 2010 Stretch14 Men's 50 177 posts | Altered bats are going to be around for a long time. |
Aug. 10, 2010 mad dog Men's 60 3803 posts | butch what ball was used,was it the classic +(52-275) or the classic M (40-325). with the + you prolly would see balls hit out. also altered bats don't mean crap with the 52-275 ball,its a way to combat them,one of the many reasons the ball was made,along with safety. |
Aug. 11, 2010 SLOBALL1 Men's 50 171 posts | Butch you put on a hitting clinic my man.Way to go!Big fun playing you guys in the finals. And you and I are in agreement.I saw plenty of homeruns too.I know we hit our limit each game and we don't have what you would call "homerun hitters". |
Aug. 11, 2010 butch17 Men's 55 415 posts | mad dog, I think it was the m 40 core ball. SLOBALL1 Thank you for the compliment and you guys deserved to win. Had fun and not only do you have a good team you guys are a class act and I cant wait to do it again. Butch |

Leighton House Museum
Where East meets West
Former studio-house of artist Frederic, Lord Leighton
All exhibitions are free of charge. Museum admission applies.
Anne Purkiss
15 March - 2 June
What remains unchanged over a period of more than 150 years is the fascination of photographers, art lovers and collectors with images of artists and their creative spaces. We still see these pictures as a record and one possible key to understanding the artist, the creative process, and the social environment in which they lived. Anne Purkiss, 2013.
For over 25 years, portrait photographer Anne Purkiss has been taking pictures of Royal Academicians. Often posed in their studios, these images are a unique record of some of the most celebrated artists of recent times. From Dame Elisabeth Frink, to Sir Peter Blake and Sir Anthony Caro the images provide a telling insight into the artist's working environment and their creative spaces.
Frederic Leighton's own career was bound up with the Royal Academy. Elected an Associate in 1864, he became President in 1878. His era saw the emergence of the celebrity artist; whose image was widely photographed, published and collected. Studio Sittings includes photographs of Leighton and his RA contemporaries also posed in their studios allowing a fascinating dialogue to emerge.

Even-skipped homeobox 1 is frequently hypermethylated in prostate cancer and predicts PSA recurrence.
Br J Cancer. 2012; (1): 100-7
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism in prostate cancer (PCa) progression. Given the role of even-skipped homeobox 1 (EVX1) in the regulation of multiple genes during embryogenesis, we postulated that EVX1 methylation is altered in PCa progression.
