Eighteen NH school teams to battle one foe: cancer
August 22. 2014 8:35PM
CANCER comes in many forms and types, and early awareness is always a huge advantage to beat it.
In Manchester. through the efforts of Christine Freitas, her family, former Manchester Memorial High field hockey coach Rebecca Libby and Christine Pariseau-Telge of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center, the annual Playing for a Purpose Field Hockey Jamboree continues to raise awareness and money to combat cancer.
The fourth annual jamboree will be held Saturday, Aug. 30 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Memorial's Chabot/McDonough Field. Eighteen schools across the Granite State will be wearing different colors representing a certain type of cancer.
Participating in the jamboree are Berlin (lung cancer, white jersey), Bishop Brady of Concord (leukemia/kidney, orange), Bow (lymphoma, lime green), ConVal of Peterborough (bone cancer, yellow), Hollis/Brookline (breast cancer, pink), John Stark Regional of Weare (prostate cancer, light blue), Kearsarge Regional of North Sutton (multiple myeloma, burgundy), Lebanon (colon cancer, dark blue), Mascenic of New Ipswich (childhood cancer, gold), Memorial (melanoma, black), Milford (brain cancer, gray), Nashua North (carcinoid cancer, zebra stripe),
Nashua South (cervical cancer, teal/white), Pelham (uterine cancer, peach), Pinkerton Academy of Derry (pancreatic cancer, purple), Souhegan of Amherst (thyroid cancer, teal/pink/blue), White Mountains of Whitefield, (liver cancer, emerald green) and Windham (head/neck cancer, burgundy/ivory).
Every school participating in the jamboree has a story about someone in their community who has beaten, is battling or, sadly, has died of cancer.
Freitas is a cancer survivor. In June of 2010, she underwent successful thoracic surgery to remove a tumor.
Two months after her surgery, Christine's twin daughters, Jenna and Kelly, who were field hockey players at the time at Manchester Memorial, worked countless hours organizing the "Playing for a Purpose" field hockey jamboree to educate the public about different types of cancer.
The first annual jamboree took place in August of 2011, the same month Frietas learned that doctors discovered another tumor in her brain.
She attended the jamboree and, two days later, had successful surgery to remove her tumor. In the spring of 2013 she had a second brain surgery to remove scar tissue and has been cancer free since that time.
"I was diagnosed with stage four melanoma cancer and this being the fourth jamboree, Memorial will be wearing black again to raise awareness for melanoma," said Freitas, whose twin daughters now play field hockey for UMass Lowell.
"I'm so happy to announce that we've raised over $15,000 in three years and we're going to add to that total again this season," said Freitas. "We had 11 teams participate in the jamboree our first year and 18 is the highest total we've ever had to this point. It's just wonderful."
On Tuesday at Milly's Tavern, 500 North Commercial St. in Manchester, a fund-raiser from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. will be held in conjunction with the jamboree.
"We're having a silent auction that night and proceeds will go to our cause," said Freitas. "For the fourth straight year we're also selling raffle tickets for a quilt my mother-in-law (Mary Freitas) sewed. We call it the "Quilt of Hope" and the actual drawing for the quilt will be during one of Memorial's home games this season. I urge the public to come to our fund-raiser and jamboree and support our cause. I thank all the teams coming and all the people behind the scenes who have made this jamboree a success in our fight to beat cancer."
PARISEAU-TELGE is staging the sixth annual Friends Fighting Cancer 5K race through the historic Millyard. The race is set for Sunday, Sept. 7 at 10 a.m. and proceeds will be donated to the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center.
"Last year we had over 450 runners raising almost $30,000," said Pariseau-Telge. "All funds go to support local cancer patients at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, specifically research and patient services. The course is flat and fast, but most importantly, easy for all fitness levels. We have competitive runners and patients that all enjoy the course. It runs along the Merrimack River, utilizing the Riverwalk from Arms Park to Rivers Edge and back."
A mother of two children, Pariseau-Telge said the race has something for all ages.
"We have a kids area where children will be able to create flags for their family members and friends that have cancer," she said. "We are running a free 400-meter race for kids at 11 o'clock with prizes." Prizes will be awarded to top runners and teams.
Registration is still open at www.friends5k.org and the registration fee is $25.
CURRENTLY in his 41st year as the New Hampshire Boxing and Wrestling Commissioner, Bobby Stephen of Manchester is expected to be re-appointed for a 14th time in September by Gov. Maggie Hassan. She would be the 10th Granite State governor to appoint Stephen, dating back to 1973 when Meldrim Thomson Jr. was in office.
"Boxing has been my passion all my life ," said Stephen. "Serving as the state commissioner has allowed me to keep the sport alive in New Hampshire." Stephen said boxing returns to the Queen City on Thursday, Sept. 18 when Verizon Wireless Arena hosts the 13th annual Fight to Educate Pro-Am tournament.
Over the years, the gala has already raised over $500,000 for various charities. This year, donations will be made to three more non-profit organizations: the SEE Science Center, the Bobby Stephen Fund for Education and New Horizons for New Hampshire. Four professional and two amateur bouts will be featured this year.
Headlining the card will be current New England middleweight champion Russell Lamour (9-0) of Portland, Maine, and welterweight stalwart Chris Gilbert (11-1) of Windsor, Vt. Other pros on the card are light welterweights Brandon Berry (6-0) of West Forks, Maine, Fred Mandrachia (0-2) of Boston and middleweight Mark Deluca (10-0) of Boston.
"We're excited to announce that Jen Amato of Keene will be participating in a female amateur bout," said Stephen. "She'll be fighting in a 102-pound weight class." Stephen said the full card will be announced in the coming weeks.
A black tie dinner at 5:30 p.m. is planned before the bouts begin. VIP tables of eight can be reserved for $1,000.
This fee also includes an auction conducted by Stephen Singer and Charlie Sherman and a meet-and-greet with boxing legends.
To reserve a VIP table, or for more information, call Singer at 669-4100.

Remember how these Phoenix Suns were expected to tank the season in order to get a top draft pick? How they would be lucky to win 20 games?
Well, first-year coach Jeff Hornacek has the team at 20-12 and in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race. The Suns have overachieved with a scrappy, high-energy style orchestrated by point guards Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe, often on the court at the same time.
It is, as new general manager Ryan McDonough said, a classic case of a team where "the whole is better than the sum of its parts."
Those parts include forward Channing Frye, back after missing a season for treatment of an enlarged heart; one-time NBA castoff P.J. Tucker providing intensity and toughness; Gerald Green free to shoot and soar at will; twins Markieff and Marcus Morris coming off the bench to play the best of their pro careers.
And most surprisingly of all, second-year pro Miles Plumlee — who barely played as a rookie for Indiana — giving Phoenix an athletic presence in the middle.
It's a young, entertaining bunch that leads the NBA in fast-break points.
The success took the front office by surprise. The Suns were poised to make their big move after this season, with a potential of four first-round draft picks and the prospect of having loads of cash under the salary cap.
The heart of the team is the double-point guard attack. Teams can't take the ball out of the point guard's hands, because there are two of them. And when one sits down, the other remains in the game.
Dragic and Bledsoe, McDonough said, "can really push the ball as well as any guards in the NBA."
Dragic averages 18.8 points and 5.9 assists, Bledsoe 18 points and 5.8 assists. If they keep up the pace, they have a chance to be the first teammates to average at least 18 points and six assists in a season since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen in 1991-92.
The Suns will not have Bledsoe when they embark this week to the frigid north for a five-game trip that starts Tuesday night in Chicago. He is out until at least late this week with a bruised right knee. That makes it tougher, Dragic said after practice Monday.
"When I have Eric with me, then the defense was cautious about him and there was a lot more space for me," he said.
Phoenix will have some help from a familiar face. Leandro Barbosa, whose best years came with the Suns, is expected to join the team in Chicago on a 10-day contract.
Phoenix had the second-worst season in franchise history last year at 25-57, leading to the firing of general manager Lance Blanks and the hiring of McDonough, who had been Danny Ainge's top aide in Boston. Lindsey Hunter, who took over in mid-season when Alvin Gentry and the team parted ways by mutual agreement, was replaced by Hornacek, who seems a natural fit.
"First of all, he's super-competitive and he's a great communicator," Plumlee said, "so he gets us motivated and really knows how to explain things to us. He's doing a great job. We're getting better every day. Everybody on the team loves him."
The Suns acquired Bledsoe from the Clippers in a three-team trade that sent Jared Dudley to Los Angeles. Phoenix got Green, Plumlee and a first-round draft pick from Indiana for Luis Scola.
Plumlee seemed a mere throw-in at the time. But his athleticism and surprising offensive skills were on display from the start of training camp, and his emergence cleared the way for the trade that sent Marcin Gortat to Washington.
McDonough downplayed the possibility of any big trades before this season's deadline.
"I don't think we'll do anything to jeopardize the long-term plan," he said, but said if "we could find a younger guy that can help our team now and in the future, that would be great."
As for tanking the season on purpose, Lon Babby, vice president for basketball operations called the idea "nonsense," considering the competitiveness of those involved, particularly Hornacek.
"I understand it in theory," McDonough said, "but in practice, it's really, really hard to do, and it's risky. We have a number of good young players who are playing very well. I certainly prefer to keep adding to that and get better that way rather than having the season be a disaster and create a negative culture of losing and hoping that you draft one guy who's good enough to elevate your whole franchise.
"That rarely happens."

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Tribune has announced it will resume limited use of Journatic five months after the newspaper suspended use of the local news provider for plagiarism and fabricated material.
The Tribune reported Thursday (http://trib.in/RFqeXp) that it would use Journatic "on a limited basis for such information as community listings." Tribune executives said the newspaper would not use Journatic as a source of reported news stories. The newspaper says it will maintain full editorial responsibility for news content.
Journatic CEO Brian Timpone says the Chicago-based company has "carefully examined" its operations to make sure it delivers content with the "highest standards" of journalism.
Chicago Tribune Media Group President Vince Casanova says there were problems with the way Journatic was executed but now it will be "back on track."

text: Hi, I'm new to this forum and I'd like to ask for guidance on how I can get my 3 week-old baby used to me again and not the Medela nipple shield. It's been great help with the latch, but my baby seems to not be getting enough milk and he gets tired from using it. If I can wean him off of it, I think it may help with his eating and sleeping patterns. Thankfully, he has consistently gained weight (didn't even lose any weight after birth!) and he has a steady flow of wet and stool diapers. I'm trying different positions, but I underwent a Cesarean and some of the laying down positions are uncomfortable for me. I'd like to get him used to the cradle and cross-cradle positions, without the nipple shield. I have also tried starting the feeding with the shield and finishing up without it. But my baby gets frustrated because he's not sure how to latch on without it and he's so hungry! And my nipples have become sore again. I hope someone out there can provide any pointers to help us out! Thanks!

None of us knows where the path that is life will take us — the hills, valleys, plains we'll confront. Some are granted a long journey, smooth sailing. For others, the road abruptly ends in childhood or youth or middle age, and we find it difficult to comprehend the whys of those lives untimely cut short.
We have just lost one of our Farm Press family, Scarlett Bright, a part of our close-knit organization for the past 17 years, gone much too soon, at age 44, another victim of the scourge that is breast cancer.
Hers was a particularly virulent form of the disease, diagnosed less than a year ago. She went through the poison that is chemotherapy … and the cancer spread. Then surgery … and the cancer spread. Then double-dose radiation … and the cancer spread.
Nothing seemed to slow its inexorable march through her body, and hardly a week after she'd been sent home from a last-ditch effort at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston — to try and find something, anything to stop the disease — she was gone.
She is the third in our extended Farm Press family to die from the insidious foe that is cancer within the past five years, and we are immeasurably saddened to have lost them.
Scarlett came to us as an advertising representative, mostly working via telephone. Her sparkling personality, room-brightening smile, and easy laugh came through even on the phone, and she soon had a cadre of long-distance clients and friends.
A few years later, she had advanced to head our entire classified advertising department. At farm shows and other events from California across the Sunbelt to the east coast, Scarlett met and made a legion of friends. She would have been making rounds at the upcoming Mid-South Farm & Gin Show, visiting clients, greeting long-time friends, meeting new ones.
During the weeks of treatment — the chemo with its nausea, pain, fatigue, hair loss, the radiation with its burning — when she might understandably have withdrawn from everyday life, she smilingly donned her wig, or head scarf, or jaunty hat, and between sessions in the cancer clinic kept right on working, determined not to let the disease drag her down.
And when everything medicine had to offer had failed, she smiled through the pain, hoped for a miracle, and sent cheery e-mails and Facebook posts.
The outpouring of messages, postings on Facebook, visits, and financial assistance in her final days, are testament to the caring of the broad universe of those whose lives she'd touched. KBH, the local farm equipment manufacturer, thoughtfully sent their airplane to Houston to make her final trip home easier, and there were numerous other acts of generosity and kindness.
"We will always remember her thirst for life and her unique dedication," said Greg Frey, our publisher. "She is, and always will be, a member of our family. Her courage, spirit and enthusiasm will be missed deeply by us, and by all who knew her."
Goodbye, Scarlett. You fought the good fight…

Yale Rookie MVP Trying Out for U.S. Team
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Kenny Agostino, the Yale hockey player who earned rookie MVP honors last winter, has been selected to the 40-man roster for the U.S. National Junior Evaluation Camp this August in Lake Placid, N.Y.
Agostino will be auditioning for a spot on the U.S. National Junior Team that takes part in the 2012 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Calgary and Edmonton, Alta.
"It is a tremendous honor to be invited to the evaluation camp.

Josh Satow's Complete Game Gem Leads #6 ASU Past Houston
Feb. 11, 2007
HOUSTON. Texas - Thanks to a sterling complete game from LHP Josh Satow, the Arizona State Sun Devils finished the Houston College Classic at Minute Maid Park 2-1 thanks to their 11-1 victory over the Houston Cougars. Satow (2-0) allowed only six hits while striking out eight to help the Devils improve to 5-1 on the year.
Eric Sogard got the Sun Devil offense started in the first inning, leading off the game with a home run to right field. After Brett Wallace walked and advanced to second on a wild pitch, Ike Davis brought him home with a double off the left field scoreboard. Davis would come around to score on an RBI single by Petey Paramore, who crossed the plate on a CJ Retherford sacrifice fly that made it 4-0 ASU.
Josh Satow was able to pitch his way out of a jam in the bottom of the first, preserving the four run lead. After giving up a leadoff double to Ryan Lormand, who then stole third, Satow fanned the next three hitters to get out of the inning unscathed.
Arizona State added another run in the second when Wallace knocked in Sogard with a single up the middle. They pushed it to 6-1 in the fourth after Andrew Romine, who beat out a ball to shortstop to lead things off and then stole second, was brought home on a balk. An RBI groundout by Sogard in the sixth made it 7-1 ASU.
Matt Spencer extended that lead to 9-1 in the seventh with a 392 foot two-run blast to right field, his fourth homer of the year and second of the tournament. The Devils would extend it to 11-1 on an Ike Davis double off Tal's Hill in centerfield that scored Romine and Sogard.
But the story of the game was Satow, who threw the first complete game for Arizona State since Erik Averill went the distance against Florida on June 22, 2005 in the College World Series. Satow allowed only a solo homer in the second and walked only one to pick up his second victory of the year. It was the first complete game of the junior's career.
Spencer finished the tournament 6-12 with two homers and five RBI, giving him 18 for the year. Sogard went 5-8 in the three games, scoring five times and driving in three. Ike Davis knocked in five runs over the weekend.
The Devils now return to Tempe to host Missouri on Thursday night at Winkles Field-Packard Stadium at Brock Ballpark before heading west to Surprise for the Coca-Cola Classic. ASU will face Missouri, Oregon State and Gonzaga at Surprise Stadium next weekend. Thursday night's game begins at 7 p.m. Arizona time.

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) --The former BART police officer who shot and killed unarmed passenger Oscar Grant in 2009 was back in court on Wednesday.
Johannes Mehserle testified for the first time since his criminal trial. This time, it's a civil suit filed against him.
The court has to decide whether Mehserle was justified in shooting Grant.
Grant's father, Oscar Grant Jr., is suing Mehserle, chargin that he's been deprived of a familial relationship with his son who died on New Year's Day more than five years ago.
"He was looking forward to seeing his son and developing a greater relationship and seeing him in the future," said Wakeen McCoy, Oscar Grant Jr.'s lawyer.
Grant was in court Wednesday at the plaintiffs table with two state corrections officers sitting behind him. He was transported from a prison, where he's serving a life sentence for murder.
The dramatic moment of the day came when McCoy showed the cellphone video of the shooting. Mehserle never looked up as it was playing.
It wasn't until the afternoon when he finally took the stand.
McCoy carefully led Mehserle through a litany of questions about his career, his training, and eventually to the night of the shooting. But his main line of questioning had to do with whether Mehserle intended to shoot Grant.
"He drew his firearm because he mistakenly thought that Oscar Grant had a gun," McCoy said. "You don't bring a Taser out to defend yourself when you are presented with a gun. So that shows that he intended to kill him."
Zephoria Smith is the mother of Grant's best friend Johntue Caldwell, who was detained on the BART train along with the others.
His lawyers claim that Caldwell's civil rights were violated and that he was detained unlawfully. Caldwell was murdered three years ago during a drive-by shooting.
"With both Oscar being deceased now and also Johntoue, it's hard to believe," she said. "I don't know what to say. I'm a mother and I'm an aunt and I've been in a lot of pain
through this.
Mehserle and his lawyers were not available for comment.
The trial resumes Friday.

Did you feel that magnetic breeze? Solar weather trackers say a "pulse" in the solar wind of electrically charged particles swept past monitoring satellites today, in the wake of last Friday's X-class solar flare and coronal mass ejection. But the main force of the blast was not pointing toward Earth, and thus no big impact on our planet's magnetic field is expected.
"Another effect of Friday's eruption, a solar radiation storm, continues its leisurely decay and is nearing the end of the event," the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Solar Weather Prediction Center reported on its website.
The most significant effect of the past week's solar storming has been an upswing in spectacular pictures of the northern lights, as seen from Scandinavia and other high-latitude locales. Swedish photographer Peter Rosen got some great pictures over the weekend.
"I live in Abisko, next to the Aurora Sky Station — a great place to see northern lights," Rosen told me in an email. "The Aurora Sky Station has become a very nice tourist attraction. ... I was there last Saturday and almost 100 people from all over the world were on the mountain. We had a great aurora from 9 p.m. to 12:30 due to another geomagnetic storm."
For more of the latest and greatest pictures of the northern lights, check out the selection on Rosen's website, Rosenmedia.se, as well as on SpaceWeather.com. Stay tuned for further auroral updates as the sun's 11-year activity cycle heads toward an expected peak in 2013.

Few people from outside North Korea ever get to see, with their own eyes, what life is like inside the country's restrictive borders — scenes ranging from a simple haircut to a mass synchronized swimming performance.
Associated Press photographer David Guttenfelder is in North Korea and has been documenting scenes around the country that offer a glimpse into a largely unseen side of North Korea, capturing images of daily life that are at times quirky, at other times haunting.
Here's a gallery of some of his recent images.

Jim Hendry Out (UPDATES APLENTY)
Jim Hendry is officially out as Chicago Cubs GM. Assistant GM Randy Bush will take over as interim GM, and Tom Ricketts will speak to the media soon.
It's been a long road, but as you all should know, this was the right move. I will have more on this later today (I'm remote right now (of freaking course)), but, for now, use the comments to share your thoughts/celebrate. Please also feel free to share news updates.
I will do my best to keep this post updated.
Update: Jim Hendry is addressing the media. Paraphrase: love the Cubs, love the city, we just didn't win enough games. No hard feelings. Wants to continue to have a good relationship with Ricketts. Hendry is getting emotional. He's a good guy, just not a good GM.
Update II: A search process for the next GM will commence now.
Update III: Hendry says he was told a month ago, but stayed on to complete the draft (hey, that's what I said!).
Update IV: Hendry didn't make deals at the deadline because he'd already been fired. Not to pat my back again, but, I totally called that as the only explanation. Hendry done speaking, Ricketts on around 12:15.
Update V: Ricketts says Hendry is a great guy, but a change was needed. He's reaching out to industry vets to help him with the GM search. Says new GM will report directly to Ricketts (which suggests no new Director of Baseball Ops). Ricketts is going to try and keep the search quiet.
Update VI: Ricketts wants a GM who is good at development and statistical analysis (but that's just a part). Very much wants Scouting Director Tim Wilken and Farm Director Oneri Fleita to stay. Will recommend them to new GM.
Update VII: New GM will decide on Quade. My gut translation: he gone.

Stage win = Tour win?
The Tour has climbed Plateau de Beille three times and on each occasion, the stage winner has gone on to claim the yellow jersey in Paris. Will today's winner follow Marco Pantani (1998), Lance Armstrong (2002) and Alberto Contador (2007)? They just might, thanks to the five categorised climbs that precede the final summit ascent. At almost 16km and with a gradient just below 8 per cent, the final climb is long and tough enough for the leaders to overhaul any breakaways and dispute the day's spoils between them. The podium contenders should become clear today.
Details –
Distance: 168.5 km
Highest point: 1,570m
Category: High mountains
Sean Yates says...
"This stage could be decisive one way or another. Assuming that Contador will ride, based on what we've seen at the Giro, his team won't be the strongest, so he'll be under major pressure on a day like today if Leopard go on the attack early."
Matt White says...
"Very solid stage indeed. Impossible to control for any team, expect an early break. Watch out for the guys who are on the fringe of GC to battle - Nicholas Roche, Ryder Hesjedal and some Spanish company."

Evan Rachel Wood goes topless in a super sexy spread from Flaunt magazine's latest issue.
The 24-year-old actress visited a psychic with the magazine and heard about what the future may bring her! Here's a bit of what Evan had to share:
On people's preconceptions of her: "People have an idea of who you are, and it's hard to break that barrier, so sometimes you can feel kind of isolated. Of course, there are times in my life where I think, 'Well, what if I hadn't done this and had a so-called "normal life"?' Then, I look at all the things I've gotten to do and, even though it came with sacrifices, I wouldn't trade it. I feel like I've lived many lifetimes already, more than most people get to do in one life."
On wanting to move into music: "I really want to start making music. I really want to collaborate with somebody. There's a lot I have to learn about composing, melody, and style. I know when someone has a melody, I can put a song to it. I feel like it's a real passion of mine, I feel like when I'm singing, that's when I'm at my most euphoric and free."

Parents often are their children's harshest critics. Anthony Mason, the gritty former Knicks forward who embodied their physical teams of the 1990s, took it to the extreme.
He once told his struggling son Antoine, "You're horrible," after one poor performance during high school. On another occasion, he said, "You [stink]," smacking his son's ego the same way he used to slam opponents to the floor driving to the basket.
"He said he had aspirations of playing pro," the former Knicks enforcer said. "I knew in order for him to be great, you have to give tough love."
Antoine always took the criticism in stride and credits his dad's unforgiving approach with his present status as one of the nation's top sophomores — MAAC-leading Niagara's leading scorer entering today's matchup at Manhattan College. He has missed the Purple Eagles' past three games with an ankle injury, and it is uncertain if he will face the Jaspers.
A 6-foot-3 guard, Antoine was a star at a young age at New Rochelle H.S., but Anthony wasn't sold seeing his son rack up big numbers against Westchester foes. He brought his son down to New York City — where Anthony, a Queens product, developed himself — as a true test. Initially, he failed to hold his own, taking "butt whippings," his dad said jokingly. But he kept asking to go back, just like he never let his father's critiques get to him.
"For him to go past that and continue to play, I knew he was destined to be a great ball player," Anthony said.
Anthony never pushed basketball on Antoine. The younger Mason fell in love with the sport while watching his dad perform on the sport's highest level.
Antoine was a star at New Rochelle, earned a full scholarship to Niagara and has blossomed this winter, after a summer full of draining daily workouts with Anthony. Anthony wouldn't go into too much detail in the sessions — "I can't give away ancient Chinese secrets," he said — but he did say the two worked on each area of his game, particularly Antoine's weaknesses. Some days he would just make Antoine run sprints to test him.
"We worked on things I was going to do in games," Antoine said. "I told him what I wanted to do, he saw things I do and we just worked on it."
Antoine said he became a far more productive player as a result — his free-throw shooting (.789 from .684) and 3-point percentage (.310 from .270) improved, and his points per game average skyrocketed (18.9 from 15.1). It's no coincidence the Purple Eagles (15-11) lead the MAAC and already have surpassed last year's win's total of 14.
"He's really become an efficient player," Niagara coach Joe Mihalich said.
Though they played different positions, and Anthony
says Antoine is naturally more skilled than he ever was, there are similarities between the two. Antoine's work ethic is every bit his father's equal, Anthony said, he has that same hunger to beat his opponent and though several
inches shorter, he has that same thick muscular frame.
"You see the competitiveness, you see the toughness, you see the fearlessness," Mihalich said, comparing the two. "[Antoine] has such an incredible desire."
Growing up Anthony Mason's son wasn't easy on Antoine. Everybody wanted to know about Antoine's father, then his older brother,
Anthony Mason Jr., became a star locally at St. John's when he was in high school. There were heightened expectations, just because of the last name.
Antoine said they didn't affect him. He is proud of his father and used it at motivation to make his own mark.
"I always had challenges and I always wanted to prove people wrong," Antoine said.
The biggest challenge is a personal one. He doesn't want people to think of his dad or his older brother, who now plays overseas in Italy, when the last name Mason comes up.
"I want to be the best Mason," he said. "Since I started basketball, I told him I want to be better than him [and] my brother. He says it's going to be hard work, but he thinks I can do it."
Positive reinforcement? Antoine has come a long way since "you're horrible."

A new social contract?
I never remember signing the old one.
Just because you call something a "social contract" doesn't make it binding. People have to be in agreement to have a contract.

I was going to formulate a reply, but it would of been just saying this in a way filled with much more pointless rambling.
I agree the idea ought to be moving to push societies in thinking of adjusting these ways... just any on how to is absent from me.
Heywood... was gonna say more, yet it's such a troll attempt; People are in agreement of the "social construct" idea.. simply going with the flow and mainly obeying conventions and rules is doing so. It's a matter of the organic social system something that changes over time through evolution. You shouldn't have a problem understanding that, literally.

RE: Proposal for a new social contract
I don't think I've responded to this thread, so I might as well. I've read through some of the thread, previously, but I'm not going through all of it, or looking through again. I'll just respond to the OP.
You should have called the thread 'proposal', maybe for a social and/or political economic model. Nothing is uniquely 'new'. It also, has absolutely nothing to do with 'social contract', that just makes in misleading, if not nonsensical.
(24-08-2011 10:44 AM)Zatamon Wrote: We are a species of contradictions:
That is just overstating the case. People experience the world subjectively, by default, yet also rely on things part of what they perceive as reality, that includes other human beings making up society.
However that society, culture, reality that shapes them is environmental. Freedom, power, generosity, greed, loyalty, enmity might be a part of a particular mold, to separate or different extents, but not definite or contradictory.
Quote:The different social systems in our history were built on different assumptions of human nature.
Social systems are manifestations of human nature, for the most part. The rest are made up and/or applied subsequently.
Capitalism, as far as I can tell, if any thing, only ever assumed scarcity. Beyond that, if that is even the case, it's simply a system that fell in line with certain people's beliefs at a particular time in history and/or along with what they viewed would be an ideal, or workable or acceptable, system for economics.
Communism was, again, as far as I know, a part of Marxist theory, as a final stage of development, economically, socially, politically. If any thing, communism only assumes that things, at a particular time in the future, would be working, in such a way, that traditional social systems and concepts that made up organizational structure, an others that would be worked against to be reduced and abolished, would simply become obsolete.
Mixed economies, are the result of movement, away from the right-wing (what you are seemingly, in an attempt, labeling as compromise). Socialism is just fixing a lot of the problems with capitalism, a way of moving away from the right, what above I called 'traditional social systems and concepts.... that would be worked against to be reduced and abolished', mainly private ownership, specifically of things people in society need to live, prosper and progress, and profits, or it describes a full system prior to communism, which would be prior dropping off what I above called 'traditional social systems and concepts that made up organizational structure', mainly money, states and classes.
Quote:So far without much success, because the compromises were arbitrary, piecemeal, without a clearly defined principle.
That assumes compromises: both as actually having been made between two parties and as a cause for lack of success. Do you live in the West? Or East/other? The East/other consists of people who never truly went through the prerequisite stages, who were backwards politically, socially and economically, and really weren't a correct model for the implementation or ideas (if you could even call them ideas previously), that they were attempting to build, thus becoming backwards x2, and for the most part today are periphery/semi nations. In the West, especially the US, we reacted to the backwardness x2 of the East/others, politically, in what was a period called the Cold War (1947 to 1991 by Wiki), prior to that was a Civil War, a Reconstruction, Industrial Revolution, Depression and World War, and during/after that there was a Civil Rights movement, a Women's rights movement, cultural/societal shifts in general, and advancements in modern science and technology, previously unavailable, possibly, to a lot, unimaginable.
Damn, we had a lot of time to "compromise" and figure things out.
Quote:Can we find a compromise acceptable to most people?
Prior to the things I mentioned, from a US perspective the Declaration of Independence is like 1776; Constitution is like 1787; the Enlightenment, modern Western thought, in general, I'll start with Meditations on First Philosophy, René Descartes 1641, and An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, John Locke like 1690, and for science, On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres, Nicolaus Copernicus like 1543.
If your argument is that we have basically had maybe 100-200 years to get shit together, maybe 500 at the most, I'd agree that we haven't.
500 years is basically 5 old fucks, back to back, maybe double that if you are a pessimist.
This shit has worked; Enlightenment has worked.
Do you seriously think you are the only idiot in town with a gun? Do you seriously think you are the first to propose a silver bullet?
That, in essence, is a perpetually, yet self developed catch 22.
You are proposing a position that we would be in simply by being in a certain position, yet not being in that position, requires actually being in that position, that is being aspired to be achieved.
You are also ignoring the fact that we are aspiring and working to be in that position, already, right now, and have been for some time now, successfully. You are simply proposing an end to a means, like somehow it's a good idea, new or unique, when people have been aspiring toward that position, if not something very similar, for some time now; however, not ignoring the means, altogether.
If you propose the means, that would be nice, though I can only assume it isn't a new, unique or innovative, means, but until then, I can't really take any thing you are saying very seriously, other than realizing that you seem like a pretty smart, aware guy.
I understand that you can propose or agree to ends, and I like your ideas, for the most part. Now, lead us to the promise land Mr. Moses. Or would that require Q-like, powers? If you already provided the proposals needed as a means, and I didn't read them, simply link me to the location.

RE: Proposal for a new social contract
Like you, this is the first time I have noticed this discussion, and social contracts is my specialty being the author of the Secular Library Knowledge Classification and the Secular Library Charter System.
The discussion leader has left the discussion ungaurded for a long time, now, and I have found that he has campaigned his idea in a couple of other forums:
Since you like to analize social contracts, check out my renditions, and we can continue this discussion in earnest.
CAUTION: If you had any ambition of authoring a constitution, don't read my stuff, because you will be forever indebted to the format that I devised - there is no more efficient organizational format than the one I put together. If you want to debate me on that theory alone - fine, read it. I will win the debate, and I will rub your nose in it, just as I do to every other atheist idiot.

Who would have thought that in less than two years the English language could lose all meaning?

Neb. mom who left girl in car won't be prosecuted
Neb. mom who left girl in car won't be prosecuted
SOUTH SIOUX CITY, Neb. —
Authorities have decided not to prosecute a Nebraska woman who accidentally left her 2-year-old child in a cold car parked outside a South Dakota workplace.
The girl was taken to a Sioux City, Iowa, hospital on Jan. 7 and soon released. She'd been dressed warmly and was sitting calmly in her car seat when her mother found her in the car after rushing out of her Dakota Dunes workplace.
Authorities say Anna Salas, of South Sioux City, told deputies she didn't realize the girl was in the car until the girl's father called after 5 p.m. that day to say the girl wasn't at her day care.
The South Dakota prosecutors in Union County said the incident was an accident and noted that child welfare officials found no issues.

VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) – Luke Donald moved to the brink of a second successive BMW PGA Championship title and reclaiming the top ranking by shooting a 3-under 69 to take a two-stroke lead after the third round on Saturday.
Donald overcame tough, windy conditions at Wentworth to be one of only three players to break 70 on a day of high scoring that led course designer Ernie Els to criticize European Tour officials for the state of the greens.
Donald's fellow Englishman Justin Rose (69) was alone in second at 9 under while Peter Lawrie of Ireland (72) was two shots further back at 7 under.
"Physically and mentally, it was tough out there and it's going to be a grind tomorrow,'' said Donald, who would become only the third player – after Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomerie – to defend the title here.
He needs to finish in the top eight to retake No. 1 from Rory McIlroy, who missed the cut for the second tournament in a row after a 79 on Friday.
England's James Morrison started the day with a four-shot lead on 12 under but made two 8s – one triple bogey and one quadruple bogey – on his way to an 81 to fall eight shots off the pace.
"With the wind and the firmness of the course, it was brutal,'' said the 236th-ranked Morrison. "I'm very, very disappointed but it's definitely a learning curve for me.''
Morrison shot 64 on Friday but was one of nine players to make 80 or more when winds of up to 30 mph combined with hard greens to wreak havoc on an already-tough West Course.
Els, one of four players tied for fourth on 5 under after shooting 70, unloaded an expletive-laced tirade after his round in which he slammed Wentworth greenkeepers and European Tour officials for failing to adequately water the putting surfaces.
"I'm fed up with it … It's not my bloody job doing it. It's their job. They have been around a long time, I'm really disappointed with it,'' said the two-time U.S. Open champion, who was criticized last year for making the course too difficult after helping redesign it in 2010.
Ian Poulter (69) was the only other player to break 70 at the tour's flagship event on Saturday to stand at 3 under.
Conditions dictated a cool head and Donald showed it once again. He had four birdies and dropped only one shot on the par-4 15th.
He holed a 20-foot birdie putt on the last to give him an extra cushion heading into Sunday, a year after his playoff victory over Lee Westwood here.
"This is a tough place and demands a huge amount of patience,'' Donald said. "It's not great for a bomber (off the tee). It's great for somebody who can work their way around.
"The good players that can be patient and deal with it are always going to rise to the top usually.''
Rose bounced back from dropping shots at Nos. 2 and 3 to go through the rest of his round bogey-free, keeping him in contention for a win that could move him to a career-high No. 5 in the rankings.
"There were some borderline holes out there,'' said Rose, referring to Els' comments that players were struggling to hold their approach shots on the greens. "It took all of your experience and skill and patience.''

Once she realized that she had indeed slept on her make shift bed on her floor she dried her eyes and got ready for school. Oh the shame of parenting!
During the bed time routine this evening Jensen really wanted his two front teeth to come out. They have been "wiggly" for weeks, and he was ready for a visit from the tooth fairy. He is a mommy snob when it comes to teeth removal. He wants me to take them out....with tweezers. I convinced him to let me just pull instead of using the tweezers. After moving one tooth to the side, I could see the new tooth coming in and thought with one big tug it could come out. He was really nervous and didn't want any of the options I came up with for trying to get it out. John suggested tying it to his ceiling fan and letting it fly out. The only option in his book was allowing mommy to extract it. Once the crowd left we came up with a brilliant plan.
I would yank the tooth out and then he would waltz into daddy asking him to take his tooth out. He was wildly excited about tricking his dad, so he closed his eyes and said, "Ok mom, let's do it." After his tooth popped out he walked into our bedroom and pulled his trick. Jense definitely got the response he was looking for from his dad. He was on cloud nine with his trickery! Once we finished filming the ordeal we settled back down getting ready for the tooth fairy. Jense wrote her a note explaining the whole process... my kids like to give the whole story (wonder where they get that from).
Suddenly we had the brilliant idea of getting the other tooth out and doing the same thing to daddy. In one tug, that tooth was out and he was more excited about this than Christmas morning. Once he reached his dad again, he nonchalantly (that's how I coached him) asked his dad, "Hey, dad... wanna see my missing tooth one last time?" Then he revealed is second missing tooth. Daddy once again delivered a performance of shock and awe. He was mostly in shock that his wife could pull someones teeth out back to back without blinking an eye.
Jense was so proud of his shenanigans. He went to bed toothless and as happy as a clam. Let's just hope that the tooth fairy doesn't slip up two nights in a row. He has his teeth placed in an envelope with accompanying explanation directly under his pillow under his head. I'm pretty sure it would be over for him if the tooth fairy didn't show up on a "two toof" night. The best thing about him missing both of his front teeth is how it affects his speech.
-Off to be the fairy...before I forget. I am curious though, how much/what does your tooth fairy leave behind for your children's teeth? We give them a silver dollar...the very same coins that John got as a kid. We will probably run out soon.

I woke up in the middle of the night with every intention of quietly having a drink of water. Unfortunately, I landed on a particularly loud squeaky toy and managed to disturb everyone's sleep. A few days before that, I got out of bed and stepped on a dog toy that is not designed for the underside of delicate human feet. I woke everybody up that time, too, and not because the toy was noisy. No, it was me that made the racket as I uttered the sorts of phrases that make films lose their PG ratings.
Ahh, dog toys. I love them except when I don't, and then I hate them. Obviously, it would be wise to clean them up at night, and we usually do. We are a work in progress, and improving all the time. We're just not improving fast enough to stop me from causing trouble.
And it's not just at night that dog toys can be a problem. I am perfectly capable of nearly spraining my ankle on a toy or sliding across the room on one during daylight hours. (I'm just gifted that way.) I don't know why dogs don't seem to have this problem. In my experience, when they pounce on toys or make noise with them, they meant to do so.
I'm seeking sympathy. Who else has had an accident with a dog toy?

The management of asthma in young children is tricky. Children are more difficult to properly diagnose, there is less research on the effectiveness of different treatment regimens, and it is more difficult to determine whether their symptoms are getting worse. Young children with exercise-induced asthma can be hard to manage because they are so spontaneously active. Nevertheless, great strides have been made in improving asthma treatment in infants and young children.
It's estimated that up to 80% of children with asthma develop their first symptoms before age 5. That underscores the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. Many children under age 5 with asthma have NOT been properly diagnosed. Some children should receive asthma treatment, even if they do not yet have asthma in order to prevent it from developing (see below).
Diagnosis can be difficult -- other conditions that may have similar symptoms include bronchitis, pneumonia, gastroesophageal reflux, colds, and other conditions. Because wheezing and coughing can be due to these other conditions, it is important not to jump to the conclusion that the child has asthma and begin unnecessary long-term asthma therapy. A trial run of asthma medication may help determine whether asthma is the cause of wheezing, cough, or breathlessness.
Any child, regardless of age, who is having an asthma attack needs relief medicine to open the airways. The preferred treatment is a short-acting beta agonist. Small children are unlikely to be able to use an inhaler by itself properly. Therefore, they need to use either a nebulizer (which has a mask and hose connected to a machine that aerosolizes the medicine) or an inhaler with a mask-spacer attached to it. Some companies even make nebulizer masks with fun characters on them to make the experience a little more tolerable for small children.
An expert panel organized by the National Institutes of Health recommended that long-term, daily control medication should be considered for children age 5 or under who:
In addition, young children should be considered for daily control, whether or not they have been diagnosed with asthma, in order to prevent or delay the development of asthma. Children most likely to benefit are those who have had more than 3 episodes of wheezing in the past year (which lasted more than a day and disrupted the child's sleep) and if they have any of these risks for developing asthma:
Recommendations for asthma control in infants and young children can be found in the National Institutes of Health Expert Panel Executive Summary (Note: File requires Adobe Acrobat). A chart is on page 4 and dosing information is on page 6. This expert panel report is intended for physicians and written at a clinical level, but some parents may find the detailed information useful.
Studies have investigated the impact of long-term inhaled steroid use on growth, bone mineral density, and other factors in children. While some unwanted effects have been seen, the evidence to date indicates that these effects tend to be uncommon and reversible.
Inhaled corticosteroids and growth in children is a common concern. However, several studies report only a slight effect (about half an inch) on children's growth, which may only be temporary. Other important points for patients to understand include:
If a child appears to be having a slow rate of growth, the benefits of continuing asthma medication should be weighed. It is likely the child will eventually reach a normal height. For children with persistent asthma, inhaled steroids are very effective and the benefit of preventing asthma attacks usually outweighs a risk of growth delay. Also, keep in mind that children who take control medicine need lower doses of relief medicine, and thus have fewer side effects from that.
Children age 5 and under are often unable to use a peak flow meter correctly. Therefore, it is largely up to the parents or care-givers to watch for signs that the child's asthma is growing worse. These include wheezing, coughing, skin on the neck and chest looking sucked in, and other signs of breathing difficulties. As children get older, they are better able to recognize when their condition is getting worse, and eventually will be able to use a peak flow meter with the parent's help.
It's a good idea to teach a child under 5 how to use a peak flow meter, just to get them into the habit of using it from an early age, but not to actually rely on the meter for monitoring the child's condition.

cyrusstoller uses nginx
I don't have a strong preference between using Apache and nginx, but I find that the config files for nginx to be much more manageable.
MaxCDN uses nginx
The original API performed a synchronous Nginx reload after provisioning a zone, which often took up to 30 seconds or longer. While important, this step shouldn't block the response to the user (or API) that a new zone has been created, or block subsequent requests to adjust the zone. With the new API, an independent worker reloads Nginx configurations based on zone modifications.It's like ordering a product online: don't pause the purchase process until the product's been shipped. Say the order has been created, and you can still cancel or modify shipping information. Meanwhile, the remaining steps are being handled behind the scenes. In our case, the zone provision happens instantly, and you can see the result in your control panel or API. Behind the scenes, the zone will be serving traffic within a minute.

Nginx serves as the loadbalancer, router and SSL terminator of cloudcraft.co. As one of our app server nodes is spun up, an Ansible orchestration script adds the new node dynamically to the nginx loadbalancer config which is then reloaded for a zero downtime seamless rolling deployment. By putting nginx in front or whatever web and API servers you might have, you gain a ton of flexibility. While previously I've cobbled together HAProxy and Stun as a poor man's loadbalancer, nginx just does a much better job and is far simpler in the long run.
