In regards to the famers, I think they were feeling super responsible at that point. If Abbie and Ryan hadn't made that pact with them to stick together, A/R would have left the swimming challenge right after they finished instead of waiting who knows how many hours for the boys. And despite the negativity, the whining, and the annoyance over the U-Turn, I think sitting there waiting for the boys to finish that challenge really does show their true characters. Frankly, I would have been annoyed and whiney at that point as well. They may have made a bad decision in a previous leg, trying to make a very short connection, but they just had nothing but bad luck this time around with planes. As someone who has had long delays in airports due to everything from weather issues to mechanical problems, it does wear down your energy and patience. To not be allowed on their first flight (which I understand, and do not blame the gate agent at all) to having their SECOND flight delayed by mechanical issues and having to switch planes...that's just rough.
I also really admire the farmers. I was screaming at them to just get on with it when they saw A/R had been U-turned, but they also proved what good people they are. It blew my mind that they actually stood around contemplating if they should wait for, or even help, the couple while they did the other detour. I know we discussed this back when the twins and Texas stole that money, but it really does show that you have to be able to live with your actions AFTER the race. A million (or two) is great, but if you can't look at yourself in the mirror, it ain't worth it. I think they boys are so far behind now that unless there's a huge equalizer, they'll be eliminated next, but they will definitely be able to hold their heads up at the end.
I too was hoping that Texas would end up in Paris. And that the twins would miss their connection. Darn.
I didn't mind Chips using the U-Turn. It's part of the game, it's a tool to be used. That being said, I HATE it. I want to see a team succeed or fail based on their own decisions or skills. And I hate that this week it was used to doubly screw over A/R. But I think A/R will understand why Chips used it when they watch the show. It seemed to me like the Twins were encouraging the others to use it just because they don't like A/R, but Chips really agonized over the choice and ultimately decided to use it because they want to help folks back home.
You could say the same thing for Chips. I nearly reached through the TV and strangled them when they told Texas they were supposed to go to Holland. I would gladly have seen them pack off for Paris. I hope the U-Turn has caused the Chips to wake up and realize that they are near the end of the race, so they had better start think about eliminating Twins and Texas. Speaking of which, I didn't mind Chips using the U-Turn, I just wish they hadn't of done so because of the pact they made with the others.
I'm not entirely happy that A & R are gone, since they were real competition for Twins and Texas. The Farmers clearly aren't, so Chips are really going to have to step up their game if they want to win.
And I now take back everything I said last week about hour layovers. As somebody pointed out here, the Twins only had an hour layover this week and they made it just fine. I guess A & R just had really bad luck. Ce la vie.
As for karma kicking in, well, sometimes it doesn't. It sucks, but sometimes the bad guys get away with it. Remember the Cowboys and the Whiny Brothers? I know that's controversial, and that some people disagree, but I will always consider what the Brothers did as cheating. And I sure as heck considered it cheating when all the other racers ganged up on the Cowboys to eliminate them in the next go-round.

I understand the disappointment Abbie and Ryan felt at being u-turned by their 'friends'. What bothers me is their hypocrisy. The fact is, they were ready to u-turn their other 'friends', Josh and Brent, if they themselves had been u-turned. And, let's not forget, they only won the first leg, and therefore a shot at $2 million, by returning a kindness with a betrayal. Can't say I'm sorry to see them go.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.
When did everyone forget this was a race and all become big buddies, and afraid to lose friends if they did one thing wrong. Its ridiculous-. Good idea with the u-turn.The cynic in me thinks TPTB came up with it so they wouldnt have to fork over 2 million.
For one million dollars,I would U-turn the fieriest competitors, & I wouldn't want anyone to u turn me ( farmers) so they could do the task with someone. Good grief - AR is going to jump the shark at this rate
Josh and Brent, come on now . If they didn't want the million, don't do the race.I think Brent is a little more on the ball, and was able to push Josh. As he said, someone had to be last on that mat.
I would be a sore loser as well, so near to the 2 million, and poof, all gone. I felt sorry for Abbi, Ryan is a unlikable imho. But I still say he has every right to feel lousy at coming in last.
Next week Josh and Brent look like they are in trouble , I want them to get it the AR race and win !!! the Chippies as well, stop being friends, you will have lots of them if you win
The average dog is a nicer person than the average person
-Andy Rooney-
I also hated their "Whatever. I'm done. I give up." demeanor, although I can understand how it would come over them given the troubles with airports and connections. I am willing to bet they wouldn't fly to or through Frankfurt if you paid them a large amount of money to do so.
The twins were very fortunate they could make their 1 hour connection, allowing them to get into Amsterdam early enough to get the fast forward.
I really wish the Chips hadn't set Trey and Lexie straight on the flag. If T&L had actually boarded a plane and flown to Paris I would have
I don't think A&R will hold a grudge against the chips, especially not after viewing the show and seeing how conflicted they were. To do so would be really petty, IMO. I am really, really, REALLY hoping we are seeing a winning edit with the Chips. Is this the first time we've heard that Jaymes (James?) has a parent with cancer?
I might have accepted their reasoning for uturning Abbie and Ryan as wanting to win if they hadn't told Texas Paris wasn't the right answer.
You can't have it both ways boys. Of course, I'm still pulling for them because it will be repugnant if Texxas or Twinnies win this thing, and I can't see Josh and Brent making it into the finals. But I did lose some respect for them tonight. Oh I so wish they tweeted so I could tell them this!

When they helped Team Texas it was spur of the moment. They just reacted and told their 'friends' that they had selected the wrong country. With Abbie and Ryan it was different. They had been given a scenario by the other teams, and, when they arrived at the u-turn, they had time to ponder the consequences before they acted.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.
I agree that the U-turn is part of the game and that there are probably no rules about what L/T did by u-turning someone they knew was ahead of them (well, obviously there aren't, or they wouldn't have been allowed to do it or would have been penalized for doing it). I also agree, however, that I really don't like the U-turn, which, as far as I can recall, hasn't always been a part of the game. I'd rather just see people race without someone being able to screw someone else over. There are enough travel variables involved already--flights that don't go as planned, cabbies that get lost, trains/busses that get missed or delayed--that they don't need to add in any more.
It does occur to me too, that this season there seems to be teams who always seem to be lucky--the Twinnies, L/T--and teams that seem to suffer more than their share of bad luck--A/R, the farmers, and, of course, Team Hair. I'm not suggesting there's anything untoward afoot. It's just a weird coincidence that some teams seem to be having the worst luck while others have the best. I mean, you can be the best team in the world but if your flights get screwed up, it doesn't matter, for instance. And tonight, the Twinnies made an hour connection whereas last week the Beekman boys and A/R didn't. Really just luck of the draw there. Same thing with L/T, who were all set to believe that they should be booking a flight to France, but lucky for them, the Chips were kind enough (or dumb enough) to tell them they weren't.
Here's to hoping that trend reverses itself in the final legs, because if the Twinnies or Team UT win, it's going to be really hard to swallow--and I'm guessing AR won't be too happy about it either, since that means they'd have winners with questionable popularity. Kind of like when Gretchen won PR.

Police say the owner of Capital Pawn called police Wednesday morning to report that a man was stuck in the building's chimney. Fire Chief Marc Lowery says firefighters pulled the man's arms through the chimney then wrapped a strap around his wrists to hoist him out.
Assistant Police Chief Sam Martin told the Harrison Daily Times the man had apparently spent the night in the chimney. The man was taken into custody on a commercial burglary charge.
Shop owner Ernest Raney says the man denied trying to break into the store and said he was walking across the roof and fell in the chimney.

This year, get small with your holiday baking. You can micro-size just about any recipe — just cut down on the baking time. Inspired by "Tiny Food Party!" by Teri Lyn Fisher and Jenny Park, and "Mini Treats & Hand-Held Sweets" by Abby Dodge, here's a collection of dainty bites that have barely any calories (OK, that part's not true.)
Dainty Chocolate Raspberry Tarts
Little buttery crusts hold a layer of raspberry jam topped with smooth chocolate ganache. Luster dust, or edible glitter, can be bought at specialty cake- and craft-supply stores or online. You can achieve a similar sparkling effect by rolling the raspberries in lightly beaten egg whites and then in colored sanding sugar. From "Tiny Food Party" by Teri Lyn Fisher and Jenny Park (Quirk Books, 2012, $18.95), makes 24.
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup (1½ sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
3½ tablespoons cold water
¼ cup seedless raspberry jam
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy whipping cream
24 fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons gold luster dust
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place flour, sugar and salt into the bowl of a food processor and pulse three times to combine. Add butter and continue to pulse until a coarse meal forms. With the food processor running, add water and process until a dough forms. Transfer dough to a clean work surface and knead a few times until smooth.
Press 3 tablespoons of the dough into each of 24 1-inch square tart molds or mini muffin pans and prick the bottom and sides with a fork.
Freeze for 30 minutes, or until firm, to ensure the sides of the tart shells don't collapse while baking. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove shells from molds to cool completely.
Brush a small amount of jam into the bottom of each tart shell. Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Bring cream to a simmer in a small saucepan and then pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes and then stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. Divide ganache evenly among tart shells and let set about 2 hours.
Place raspberries and luster dust in a mixing bowl. Gently toss until raspberries are fully coated. (Using tweezers is a great way to avoid fingerprints and smudges on the raspberries and tarts.) Once ganache has set, place a glittery raspberry atop each tart.
Gluten-Free Cheddar Animal Crackers
Use the Noah's Ark Mini Metal Cutter Set by Wilton, or any 1- to 2-inch cookie cutters. Tested at 5,000 feet. From "The Daily Cookie, 365 Tempting Treats for the Sweetest Year of Your Life" by Anna Ginsberg (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2012, $24.99), makes about 84.
2 tablespoons tapioca flour
¾ cup (4.2 ounces) firmly packed white rice flour, plus more for rolling
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon paprika
4 tablespoons (2 ounces) unsalted butter, room temperature
8 ounces grated full-fat Cheddar (not light or 2 percent)
4 tablespoons ice-cold water
Combine the tapioca flour, rice flour, cornstarch, salt, paprika and mustard powder in the bowl of a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is mealy and coarse. Add the cheese and pulse until well mixed and crumbly. Add 3 tablespoons of cold water and pulse until the mixture begins to come together. Pinch between your fingers to test. Add the remaining water if necessary.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place a rack in the center. Have ready two ungreased baking sheets.
Petite Chocolate-Dipped Cinnamon-Sugar Palmiers
These classic French pastries are traditionally jumbo-size treats and, aptly, often sold in American bakeries as "elephant ears." This tiny version is dipped in gooey caramel and salted semisweet chocolate. From "Tiny Food Party" by Teri Lyn Fisher and Jenny Park (Quirk Books, 2012, $18.95), makes 24.
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 sheet store-bought frozen puff pastry, thawed and cut in half
¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons sea salt flakes
Preheat oven to 400 degreees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, toss sugar and cinnamon to combine. Brush both pieces of puff pastry with melted butter and coat evenly with cinnamon-sugar. Roll both long sides of each pastry toward the center of the sheet, creating two coils. Cut into ¼-inch-thick slices and place 2 inches apart on one of the prepared sheets. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
For the caramel sauce, combine sugars and corn syrup in a small pot over medium heat. When the temperature reaches 240 degrees, begin whisking in the butter, a few cubes at a time. Carefully whisk in cream.
Tip: Watch out when whisking in the cream; the mixture will bubble up quickly at first.
Remove from heat. Dip each palmier in caramel to coat about two-thirds of the pastry. Place on the second prepared sheet to set.
Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler over medium heat. Dip palmiers in melted chocolate to coat the caramel and place them back on sheet. Sprinkle sea salt flakes over palmiers. Let chocolate set completely before serving, about 1 hour.
Snickerdoodle Ice Cream Sandwiches
Sweet little cinnamon-sugar-dusted snickerdoodle cookies are delicious. But they're even better sandwiched with vanilla ice cream studded with crunchy toffee bits. Tested at 5,000 feet. From "Tiny Food Party" by Teri Lyn Fisher and Jenny Park (Quirk Books, 2012, $18.95), makes 24.
2¾ cups all-purpose flour
2½ teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup butter-flavored shortening or leaf lard
1¾ cups granulated sugar, divided
1 egg
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 pint vanilla ice cream
2 cups toffee pieces
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt into a medium mixing bowl. Cream together butter, shortening, and 1½ cups of the sugar with an electric hand mixer, about 3 minutes. Add egg and egg whites, one at a time, mixing and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Fold flour mixture into butter mixture until fully incorporated. Form dough into a disk, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon. Form dough into 1-tablespoon balls and roll in cinnamon-sugar to coat. Place about 1 inch apart on the prepared sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges just start to brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Spread a spoonful of ice cream onto half the cookies and press the remaining cookies on top. Roll the sides of each sandwich in toffee pieces. Freeze sandwiches for at least 1 hour before serving.
Tip: These will stay freshest if wrapped individually in plastic wrap and stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
Cinnamon Toast Scones
These taste best warm from the oven, but leftovers can be gently warmed in a toaster oven set on bake. From "Mini Treats and Hand-Held Sweets" by Abigail Johnson Dodge (Taunton, 2012, $22.95), makes 18 scones.
8 tablespoons (4 ounces) unsalted butter, chilled
½ cup half-and-half, chilled
1 large egg, chilled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups (9 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
¼ cup (1¾ ounces) granulated sugar
2½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon table salt
1/3 cup (2 ounces) granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons (2 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
Position oven rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment or a nonstick liner.
Cut the butter in half lengthwise, cut each half lengthwise again, and then cut each strip into 8 pieces. Pile the butter onto a plate and slide it into the freezer until ready to use. Measure the half-and-half in a 1-cup glass measure; add the egg and vanilla. Using a fork, whisk until blended and keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until well blended. Add the cold butter pieces and, using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter is pea-sized, about 3 minutes. (You can also do this in a food processor using short pulses, scraping the blended mixture into a large bowl before proceeding.)
Pour the egg mixture over the flour and, using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until it forms a shaggy, moist dough with some floury bits remaining. Scrape the dough and any remaining floury bits onto the counter and knead a few times until the dough is evenly moist and holds together. Be careful not to over-knead the dough or the scones will be dense.
Shape the dough into an 8×4-inch rectangle. With a large knife, cut the dough crosswise into six equal strips, then cut each strip into three pieces (they'll be about 1 1/3 inches each). Arrange the strips about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake until the tops are golden brown, 19 to 21 minutes. Move the cookie sheet to a wire rack and let the scones sit until they're cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
Put the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl (or use a 6-ounce ramekin) and stir with a spoon until well blended. Put the melted butter in a similar bowl and arrange them both near the cookie sheet. Working with one scone at a time, dip the tops in the butter and gently press the buttered top into the cinnamon sugar. Arrange, cinnamon side up, on a wire rack. The scones can be served warm or at room temperature.
Cover the cooled scones and store at room temperature for up to 1 day. Reheat in the oven, toaster oven, or microwave (briefly), if desired.
Orange-Pecan-Ginger Cookies
Stack 6 or 8 cookies, and tie with a pretty ribbon to present as a small gift. For a special presentation, melt about cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips in a long, narrow microwaveable dish, such as a butter dish. Dip about ¼ inch of one edge of each cookie into chocolate; place on waxed paper and let stand about 40 minutes or until chocolate is set. Tested at 5,000 feet. From "The Betty Crocker Big Book of Cookies" (Wiley, 2012, $19.99), makes about 6 dozen, more or less, depending on size.
¾ cup (1½ sticks) butter or margarine, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 egg
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped pecans
¼ cup chopped crystallized ginger (half a 2-ounce jar)
¼ cup decorator sugar crystals
In large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in orange peel, orange juice and egg until blended. On low speed, beat in flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in pecans and ginger.
Divide dough in half. Shape each half into 10-inch log. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the sugar crystals on sheet of plastic wrap; roll 1 log in sugar to coat. Wrap log in plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining log and sugar crystals. Refrigerate about 3 hours or until very firm.
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut logs into ¼-inch slices. On ungreased cookie sheets, place slices 2 inches apart.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges start to brown and tops are light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

Consumer Expenditure Survey, 1993: Interview Survey, Detailed Expenditure Files (ICPSR 6543)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Labor. Bureau of Labor Statistics
The ongoing Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) provides a continuous flow of information on the buying habits of American consumers and also furnishes data to support periodic revisions of the Consumer Price Index. The survey consists of two separate components: (1) a quarterly Interview Survey in which each consumer unit in the sample is interviewed every three months over a 15-month period, and (2) a Diary Survey completed by the sample consumer units for two consecutive one-week periods. The Interview Survey was designed to collect data on major items of expense, household characteristics, and income. The expenditures covered by the survey are those that respondents can recall fairly accurately for three months or longer. In general, these expenditures include relatively large purchases, such as those for property, or expenditures that occur on a fairly regular basis, such as rent, utilities, or insurance premiums. Excluded are nonprescription drugs, household supplies, and personal care items. Including global estimates on spending for food, it is estimated that about 90 to 95 percent of expenditures are covered in the Interview Survey. The Detailed Expenditure Files that comprise this data collection were created from all the major expenditure sections of the Interview Survey questionnaires and contain more detailed expenditure records than those found in the Interview Survey data (CONSUMER EXPENDITURE SURVEY, 1993: INTERVIEW SURVEY [ICPSR 6580]). In addition, the Detailed Expenditure Files include Consumer Unit Characteristics (FMLY) Files and Income and Member Characteristics (MEMB) Files identical to those found in the Interview Survey.

BS call, "BALL DON'T LIE!" is part of the game, if the commish fined Pops/Spurs cause "the fans paid some serious $$$ to watch the game" then he should fine the ref cause Sheed is one of the main reasons the Knicks get that much attention.
BS call, "BALL DON'T LIE!" is part of the game, if the commish fined Pops/Spurs cause "the fans paid some serious $$$ to watch the game" then he should fine the ref cause Sheed is one of the main reasons the Knicks get that much attention.
Obviously the ball DID NOT lie so what's that call for? preaching the truth?
Showing emotion on the court used to be apart of basketball, whether it was showing emotion after a nasty dunk, or trash talking your opponent, etc etc. The uncalled for calls such as this one just makes the sport look lame.
besides the tech called against Wallace, didn't beasley toss his headband into the crowd, because he was disappointed in himself? Should he have received a tech for that? he was mad at himself, it had nothing to do with the refs. Some calls are just mind-boggling
In a word...JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sooner Stern goes the sooner the NBA can focus on the game. Getting harder to enjoy the NBA, farrrr too long league has been poisoned by the fragile little ego of a tyrannical midget, his minions i.e Stu Jackson and fragile, spot light seeking officials.
A shock to powers that be in the NBA but no one gives a damn about the "feelings" of your officials.
Only bigger joke of an ejection...when Sheed in Portland, ejected in the West Conf finals in 2000 for glaring at a ref..."Stop intimidating me Sheed"...FFS it sad the sort of what pussies are allowed to officiate in the NBA.
Last edited by T.O Knick; Dec 03, 2012 at 12:58.
fair ejection. first off, it was a hard, unnecessary foul and physical follow through that deserved a technical, and then, Sheed could not shut the fu*ck up. that's the kind of behavior that automatically gets a technical, hence the ejection. deserved. sorry. i'm biased, but I saw it coming, so did the commentators.
i believe Beasley got a technical as well for tossing headband.
i agree technicals should not be called for showing emotion, but hard stupid fouls deserve it just to keep the game from becoming a Metta World Peace elbow away from brain damage. and when you argue with a call and can't shut your mouth, whether you're yelling about fouls that don't deserve to be called, or balls that don't lie, you're digging your own grave for ejection.
Two issues....
1. NBA has no consistency, at least in MLB be it "Johnny no name" or Verlander talk ****e and you're gone. In the star nut hugging NBA likes of Kobe and KG spout ****e non stop at everyone game in and game out. Refs wants to eject Sheed ummmm OK...but it's a joke they hug Kobe nuts in the hope he'll let them sniff his jock after the game.
2. The game is built on emotion, funny how the most worst critic many toss at today's players is "They don't care", next minute have a baller like Sheed who leaves it all on the floor and yet he is some how an outlaw. Yeah I'm sure the world would prefer an the NBA with a litany of Derrick McKey clones.
BREWER SAYS SHEED IS COACH ON THE FLOOR: The casual fan NBA fan probably looks at Rasheed Wallace as a technical foul machine. But Ronnie Brewer said on Anthony Donahue's "The Knicks Blog" Internet radio show that Wallace is much more than simply a player who struggles to control his temper.
"He's an extension of the coach. (He does) a lot that doesn't show up in the stat (sheet). He talks on and off the court and he really heightens our awareness on defense and allows us to be a better team," Brewer said of Wallace, who was thrown out after just 85 seconds on the court on Sunday against Phoenix after he received two technical fouls.
I love sheed's personality and his humour but this guy really does not deserve the minutes he is getting. His smarmy veteran attitude where he doesn't really play defense and acts like he doesn't give a **** when he gets scored on pisses me the hell off and makes me wonder why woodson has had him on the floor over marcus ****ing camby(when he wasn't injured). He literally turns our interior defense into AWFULNESS. He just doesn't seem very interested as a whole on the defensive end. Did anyone see that play in(I think) the second quarter vs. the bobcats? He catches the rebound and then does the LAZIEST FOCKING outlet pass to felton i have ever seen in which kemba or whoever steals it and then goes in for a layup, after that Sheed does his patented don't jump off your feet to block shots because you don't really care" block.
On offense, he is just as problematic. The same veteran "idgaf" attitude means that sheed takes so many ****ing shots that he really doesn't need to take. He is too lazy to even ever roll of the pick so he just pops out instead and stands there while felton or prigioni struggly to make something happen.
I love Sheed but his play is honestly dissapointing.

Chill.. Sheed's been solid thus far imo
He played good D against the Heat.
I question his shot selection however.
Who else is going to come in for Chandler at the moment? It appears Camby's health is a major problem.
And Thomas has been a non factor and moves like a 50year old.
It looks like the team really enjoys it when Sheed is on the floor, not to mention the crowd
I know its a random question. I also know that no real NBA fan actually really cares about the Hall of Fame. Still I was debating whether or not he is a worthy candidate and can't decide whether the scope of his career is significant enough for him be voted in. What do you guys think?
Being the all-time technical foul leader alone should get anyone into the NBA Hall of Fame.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.

LIVE: Dancing with the Stars, Season 10, Week Two
It's that time again, folks. Tonight—from 8:00 to 10:00 PM ET on ABC—this season's 11 Dancing with the Stars hopefuls will sashay across the ballroom for the judges' scores and your votes. More inside, plus your open thread!

Sarah Palin is no flash-in-the-pan. After 15 months in the spotlight, she remains the "It" girl of the right -- perhaps to the consternation of another Republican governor who would like to be your president.
The former Alaska governor has weighed in on key elections, with candidates courting her endorsement. Her memoir, "Going Rogue," hits shelves in a week amid fanfare that will include face time with Oprah Winfrey and Barbara Walters. Naturally, that book tour will take her to Iowa, the state where all presidential campaigns are launched.
The Palin-mania seems to have gotten to one of her potential rivals for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination. Mike Huckabeesounded mildly annoyed at all the focus on the lady from the frozen north, whom Politico calls the GOP's rock star:
"Some of the people who had excoriated me and really been very dismissive of me for views that I had taken, and labeled me anything from a populist to an ignoramus — the same people have been very defensive [of] and laudatory to Sarah Palin," Huckabee noted, adding that he'd invited her to appear on his weekly Fox show but "could never get any contact."
"I'm glad she's getting the props — I know I'm not nearly as attractive," he said with a guileless grin.
Huckabee may not be his party's rock star, but he is a bona fide rock n' roller. The former Arkansas governor plays bass guitar in a band cleverly called Capitol Offense and another on his weekend Fox show, called the Little Rockers. Huckabee buttresses his musical talent with a folksy sense of humor that takes the edge of what might otherwise be an intimidating Baptist preacher -- which he happens to be. This odd mixture of folksy charm, musical talent and political savvy helped Huckabee tame a mainstream media that usually greets hard-core socially conservative candidates with suspicion or outright hostility.
In fact, Huckabee's harshest criticism came from the right-wing chattering class, which found his views on economics and record as Arkansas governor as insufficiently conservative. But of the three governors expected to vie for the GOP nod, Huckabee has by far the most experience as an elected chief executive. He moved into the Arkansas governor's mansion after Bill Clinton's successor, Jim Guy Tucker, went to jail. He finished that term, then won two more to serve a total of 10 1/2 years. For those keeping track, that's more than Mitt Romney (one four-year term in Massachusetts) and Palin (two-and-a-half years in one abortive term in Alaska) combined.
Given all that, shouldn't Mike Huckabee be getting a bit more love from the Republican faithful?

I have two old machines. One is a 17 yr. old Viking and one is a Brother XR/40 bought at Cosco over ten years ago. Both still sew, but the Viking is slowing down when I try to sew bulky fabric. I talked to the repair shop and was told that the service and cleaning would cost $150.00. The Brother still sews, but it is an awkward machine to use. The needle threader broke a long time ago.
I am interested in the Brother Computer Sewing and Embroidery machine sold by Amazon. for $358.99 Do any of you own this machine and would you recomend it. I like many of the features of this machine. I probably wouldn't do enough embroidery to buy an expensive embroidery machine.

Arcia has room to improve in outfield
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com
OAKLAND -- When Twins manager Ron Gardenhire sees Oswaldo Arcia in right field, he sees a talented player who is still learning his position.
That was the case when Gardenhire saw Arcia circle Daric Barton's hit in the second inning of Friday's game against the A's, then pick up his head as he attempted to field the ball. To Gardenhire's eye, Arcia was already thinking about showing off his strong arm. Barton reached third and Josh Reddick scored on the play.
"It's a double, and the guy's not going to score if we just catch it," Gardenhire said Saturday morning. "That's understanding that we're not throwing anybody out there. All we have to do is catch the ball and get it back into the infield. Thinking too much."
The error was Arcia's second in 93 games.
"He can play left. He can play right. He's got things to learn on," Gardenhire said of the 22-year-old Venezuela native. "There's times where he's moving really good and other times where he looks a little sluggish.
"I have a left fielder in [Josh] Willingham. That's why we'd like to see him in right."
While Garcia was slated to play left on Saturday, Friday night's defensive effort was an anomaly. Earlier in the second inning, he lost a ball off Derek Norris' bat in the lights at O.co Coliseum. Norris reached second with a double.
"That happens in some of these ballparks. The other [play] could have been handled a lot better," Gardenhire said. "The biggest thing with outfielders is not rushing."
Willingham out of lineup, available off bench
OAKLAND -- Veteran slugger Josh Willingham was out of the Twins' starting lineup on Saturday with a sore left foot but was deemed available off the bench. Manager Ron Gardenhire said he had already decided to play the versatile Chris Parmelee in the outfield against the A's anyway.
Parmelee had a rough Friday night in the field while playing first base. His inability to corral third baseman Eduardo Escobar's low throw with two outs in the fifth inning allowed three runs to score.
"Rather have him knock it down," Gardenhire said. "He knows how to catch the ball, but there's been some funny plays over there.
"Maybe it's because he's been bouncing back and forth," Gardenhire added of Parmelee's playing time between first base and right field, "but he's been in the wrong place on some relays [at first]."
Rookie Oswaldo Arcia assumed Willingham's slot in left field. Willingham's bat would be handy in a pinch-hitting situation. Since 2012, he has hit .396 (19-for-48) with seven home runs and 17 RBIs in 14 games versus his former club.
Gardy wants young arms to work on offspeed pitches
OAKLAND -- With eight games remaining on their schedule after Saturday, the Twins are running out of opportunities for their young starters to show their stuff. Manager Ron Gardenhire wants to see the group do one thing in particular down the stretch: throw curveballs and sliders with confidence and consistency.
"That's important for all of our young pitchers, to use it," Gardenhire said. "That's the most important thing for a pitcher to understand: You have to spin the ball, you have to work on these pitches, or they're not going to get better. The only way to do that is to get into the game and use 'em.
"The miles between [Triple-A] Rochester and Minnesota, breaking balls aren't making the trip."
That is especially the case for Saturday starter Pedro Hernandez and right-hander Liam Hendriks, who is the first candidate should Minnesota need a spot starter the rest of the way, the skipper said.
"His last outing he had a lively fastball, but that's not the pitch, though, we need him to control," Gardenhire said of Hendriks' start on Monday, in which he was charged with seven runs in two-thirds of an inning.
The skipper said Hendriks threw about 15 sliders straight down into the dirt, causing debate on the bench over whether the pitches were breaking balls or changeups.
"It was nothing. It looked like a changeup going straight down," Gardenhire said. "That's a mechanical thing, and he wasn't able to make an adjustment. He's got to be able to use all of his pitches. Up here, he hasn't. Down there [in Rochester], he has."
Twins get good report on prospect Meyer
OAKLAND -- Alex Meyer, Minnesota's No. 3 prospect, made his second instructional league appearance on Saturday.
Twins general manager Terry Ryan liked the latest report on Meyer, who missed nearly three months of the Minor League season due to an injured throwing shoulder. The 23-year-old right-hander had returned to Double-A New Britain for two starts in late August.
"I'm not a huge velocity guy, but he's running it up there pretty good," Ryan said before the Twins-A's game at O.co Coliseum. "The best thing I can tell you is he's starting to use his changeup.
"That's one of the things we tried to emphasize in the short amount of time we had him on the mound this spring. If he wants to be one of those big-time starters -- if he can develop that change -- he has a chance to be [one], because he's got the fastball and he's got the curve. And he's got the change -- all we got to do is make sure we polish it up."
Ryan said the Twins don't keep statistics of instructional league games, even internally. The numbers, in this case anyway, don't matter.
"He threw well," Ryan said. "More importantly, he's 100 percent.
"You can't get too excited about results in instructional league. I will be more attentive to what goes on statistically out there in the Arizona Fall League."
Meyer is one of seven Twins farmhands heading to Arizona. That group is led by the organization's No. 1 prospect, outfielder Byron Buxton.
The 6-foot-9 Meyer compiled a 3.21 ERA in 13 starts for New Britain this season, his first since Minnesota acquired him from Washington for outfielder Denard Span last November. Employing mainly his fastball and power slider, he struck out 84 batters in 70 innings.
Worth noting
• Third baseman Trevor Plouffe was back in the starting lineup and batting third on Saturday. Plouffe missed Friday's game after tweaking his left wrist. Gardenhire, who hadn't known the minor injury dated back to June, said he gets a report from trainers with all medical updates.
"He's been swinging great," the skipper said. "It's a non-issue if I don't know about it."
• Gardenhire said Friday's losing pitcher, left-hander Andrew Albers, will get one more start, so long as the Twins don't decide he's already hit his innings limit for the year. Albers has pitched 186 2/3 innings between Triple-A and the Majors in 2013, up from 103 in 2012.
• There wasn't a lot to smile about during the Twins' 11-0 loss on Friday, but one play caused Gardenhire to grin: Arcia's infield double when three Athletics ran to cover first base in the ninth inning.
"I never got a hit like that," said Gardenhire, who is three victories shy of 1,000 for his managerial career. "I could have been a .240 hitter with hits like that."
During his playing career, Gardenhire batted .232 across five seasons with the New York Mets.
• Right-handed reliever Anthony Swarzak left the team before Friday's game because of a personal family issue in Minnesota, the team announced on Saturday.

Dynamo Player Combine Coverage
Combine preview
Day 1 minute-by-minute
Day 1 photos
VIDEO: Day 1
VIDEO: Day 2
VIDEO: Day 3 w. Kinnear
The pressure increased on Friday for the eclectic group participating in the Dynamo potential player combine, as the players spent almost the entire training session in a virtually full-field game.
Head coach Dominic Kinnear split the group into two squads and pitted them against each other in three periods totaling about 55 minutes, with slight modifications to the teams between games. Afterward, Kinnear said the level of play was competitive, although he did not single out any individuals.
The orange squad was active throughout, taking a 3-1 win behind two goals from Dynamo Academy forward Chance Bergen (Cy Woods '10) and the active flank play of Francisco Navas Cobo on the right and Gherland McDonald on the left. Tyler Deric, in goal for the white team, had to make two saves in the first four minutes on close-range chances, and he was let off the hook in the ninth minute when Bergen headed wide from a Yordany Alvarez long ball.
At the other end, Risto Lakic forced a save out of Tally Hall in the 10th minute, and hard work from Jhonatan da Silva and Yedi Zahiri almost led to a penalty kick in the 11th minute, but Kinnear – serving as referee for the first two periods – waved play on.
The orange squad went ahead in the 12th minute when Navas Cobo snuck behind Mike Chabala at the halfway line on the right, then made a surging run forward. At the edge of the penalty area, he cut to his right past one defender, then squared the ball across the face of goal as Deric slid at him, and Bergen flicked a roller past a defender into an empty net.
Both Deric and Tally Hall made saves on attempted chips over the final eight minutes of the 20-minute opening period, and the orange team led 1-0 at the first intermission.
In the second period, Alvarez – the Cuban who has played for the Austin Aztex over the last two years, shifted from midfield to right back, pushing Brandon Poltronieri from right back to left back and McDonald from left back to left midfield. After Hall saved an early chance from da Silva, the move paid off in the sixth minute when McDonald stepped up to the edge of the penalty area and ripped a left-footed one-bouncer inside the far post.
The orange team made it 3-0 just three minutes later when Bergen won the ball in traffic on the right and dribbled into the penalty area before laying the ball off. Deric made an initial save, but Bergen continued his run to tap into an empty net.
The only other good chance of the second period saw da Silva play a good cross to Jade George (Langham Creek '10), who headed wide.
In the third period, Alvarez switched teams with Lakic and played on the white team back line with Nelson Akwari before switching into midfield and allowing Geoff Cameron to play at the back. The best early chance of the period came when Chabala bent in a right-footed cross, and George glanced a close-range header on frame, but Hall reacted quickly to tip the ball over the crossbar.
The only goal of the final stanza came 12 minutes in when da Silva, full of skill on his left foot, found himself on the right side of the penalty area. Flat-footed, he improvised a left-footed toe-poke to the top right corner.
Capping off the day, Deric dove full-length to his left to save an Emmanuel Gaytan header after a strong driven corner from McDonald.
Afterward, Kinnear told the players they would have one more session tomorrow, but they will likely be down in numbers, as the Dynamo Academy players head to Colorado for two games over the weekend and first-team players Cameron and Chabala leave town on vacation. That will likely leave just 12 field players for Saturday's session.
ORANGE: Tyler Deric, Brandon Poltronieri, Pablo Salazar, Gherland McDonald, Francisco Navas Cobo, Emmanuel Gaytan, Omar Gomez Galicia, Yordany Alvarez, Chance Bergen, Jorge Carrasco.
WHITE: Tally Hall, Risto Lakic, Nelson Akwari, Mike Chabala, Yedi Zahiri, Geoff Cameron, Diego Velazquez, Pablo Brenes, Jhonatan da Silva, Jade George.

Hello. My name is Tim Sackett, and I'm a hugger.
Being a hugger can make for some awkward moments. What if the other person isn't expecting a hug, or doesn't want to hug, and you're coming in
Fast Company
had an article recently titled "To Hug Or Not To Hug At Work?," that delved
into this subject. Here's a piece from the article:
"Awkwardness is … 'the uncomfortable feeling you get when you realize that your concept of your relationship with someone else doesn't match their
concept. The intensity of awkwardness roughly corresponds to the magnitude of difference in relationship concepts.' "
"Awkwardness is … 'the uncomfortable feeling you get when you realize that your concept of your relationship with someone else doesn't match their
concept. The intensity of awkwardness roughly corresponds to the magnitude of difference in relationship concepts.' "
'Women will hug anything'
I consider myself to have a number of roles: Husband, dad, coach, boss, friend, co-worker, etc. In each of those roles I've hugged and will continue to
hug. Sometimes, though rarely, I'll find someone who isn't a hugger.
The first time I ever met Kris Dunn face-to-face, we'd known each other and talked
frequently by phone for a year. At the HR Tech Conference, he was coming out of a session, I recognized him, he recognized me, and I went full "bro-hug"
(sideways handshake, other arm hug-back slap combo) on him. I'm pretty sure he was caught off guard, but played along.
Dunn is a closet hugger. Jason Seiden, he's a hugger. So, are Laurie Ruettimann and Dawn Burke. I find Southern folks are huggers, more than Northern, and Western more
than Eastern. Canadians hug more than Americans. Men feel much more comfortable hugging women than other men. And, women will hug anything.
I thought it was about time we had some hugging rules for the office, so here goes:
The hugging rules
1. Don't hug those you supervise.
The caveats: You can hug a subordinate if it's being supportive in a non-creepy way (major family or personal loss—sideways, kind of arm around the
shoulder, you care about them hug); at a wedding and you are congratulating them; it's a hug for a professional win (promotion, giant sale, big project
completion, etc.) and it's with a group, not alone in your office with the lights off; or, if you would feel comfortable with your spouse standing next you
and watching that specific hug.
2. Hug your external customers or clients
when they initiate the hugging sequence. The caveats: Don't hug if it is required to get business (that's not hugging, that's harassment). Don't let the
hug last more than a second or two, or it gets creepy; and, don't mention the hug afterwards, that makes you seem creepy!
3. Don't hug the person in the office you're having an affair with
(no explanation needed).
4. Hug peers, just not every day.
It's all right to hug, but you don't need to do it every day for people you see every day. Save some up and make it special!
5. When you hug, hug for real. Nothing worse than the "fake" hug! A fake hug is worse than a non-hug.
6. Don't whisper "you smell good"
when hugging someone professionally. That's creepy; in fact don't whisper anything while hugging!
7. Don't close your eyes while hugging professionally. That's weird and a bit stalker-like.
8. It's all right to announce a hug is coming.
Some people will appreciate a "Hey! Come here I'm giving you a hug—it's been a long time!'
9. It's never all right to hug from behind.
10. Never hug in the restroom. It makes for an awkward moment when other employees walk in and see that.
11. If you're questioning whether it will be all right to hug
someone professionally, well, that is your cue that it probably isn't.
Do you have any hugging rules for the office?

'Please Send Sexy Film' and Other Reasonable Requests We Received This Week
This week's mailbag brought us some wise words on karma, some scary visuals involving a toilet, and a lesson or two on things work over in HollyWEIRD. Read below to see other examples of your "disdained" for us:
A Polite Demand
please send sexy film
Hamilton Full of Hate
So thanks for not approving my comment.
Its clear you're not exactly respectful of people trying to run a decent business. All of the sponsors in gifting suites are just trying to improve their business. You are entitled to your thoughts but don't call out individual companies or people you have never met. You're only making yourself look full of hate. Not exactly classy to take photos of people to post rude comments about when they are just trying to make their business more solid to take care of their famlies.
When I first read your little piece I thought wow this guy really needs a hug. Try not to be so sour, its no way to go through life. You can do and be anything you want.
In Defense of Kevin Nealon
I wanted to write a letter to you in response to a recent Gawker story regarding gift suites in Hollywood.
I'm an actress- and I know; Hollywood, actors, and probably myself in particular are easy targets.
I get that— snark sells.
I attend gift suites ( when I'm invited) and always feel very grateful that anyone gives me anything! -After all, acting is not like curing cancer! It's fun, and actors are lucky that they get to do what they do!
But I found the recent story by Hamilton Nolan particularly vindictive and pretentious. Not only did it single out specific gift suites, and actors— but the vendors as well!!! I found that to be especially vicious and unwarranted. Go ahead- make fun of Hollywood and gift suites as a whole- but it seems especially mean spirited that Mr Nolan, would use your publication to single out new designers and small businesses trying to establish themselves and build a business. His very negative comments regarding several designers were unnecessary, untrue, and damaging.
Perhaps Mr Nolan may not have considered, that many small businesses cannot afford to compete with the advertising budgets of large companies— and that these gift suites give them a very cost effective way to get testimonials, videos, interviews & photos with celebs posing with their products; as well as pictures of their items worn to red carpet events.
For a small business- trying to establish themselves- that can be a very valuable and give their brand lots of publicity. I know many small, emerging brands that have found these gift suites to be very beneficial to their growth and exposure!
So why would Mr Nolan, and Gawker single out and hurt these small businesses and designers? I'm sure Kevin Nealon, and the guy with the moussed hair, and the rest of Hollywood that Mr Nolan so self-righteously looks down upon, can handle it. But when you attack the venders at the gift suite and malign their products— that's not cool. Not cool at all.
I myself am grateful for anything I'm given in this life.

Change the Site, Hook a Reader
Gawker is pretty awful. The site could have hooked me as news and editorial outlet but the writers that contribute are inconsistent in tone, point of view and overly aggressive in tone and portrayal of their subject material. I read two completely unrelated articles by two different authors and was immensely put off by both; I wanted to make sure, so I read some more.
Change the line up on the site, I can't be alone in my disdained for gawker.
You're welcome,
Oh Yeah, That's Slander
Nice article. Definatley slander. Definatley worth contacting an attorney for. And I will.

Quote:karate has kata in it's training.tegumi has groundfighting in it's practice. karate had tegumi. (unproven link but accepted statement)therefore kata has groundfighting.
Quote:Make the historical connection between submission wrestling and kata.
Quote:Therefore it would follow logic that some form of fighting from the ground training(wrestling included) ) should exist in some karate katas.

New sounds are continually being discovered. SLOrk compositions can sound like Tibetan singing bowls or a John Adams minimalist movement. Empty-handed musicians may pantomime playing the drums or the stand-up bass, with their game-controller gloves altering the sound.
"It's always been an experiment, and still is," Wang says.
Next month, SLOrk is headed for a new acoustic experience: playing the new Bing Concert Hall. A few of the musicians performed at the swank venue's opening in January — "It was pretty awesome," says player Jieun Oh — but June 5 will mark the first Bing concert for the whole 12-member ensemble. The hall opens up a new acoustic world, as well as a spacious one where the orchestra will be able to spread out and possibly integrate more physical moves.
In preparation, at this class meeting tonight, SLOrkers are bandying about some new ideas. Musicians have broken into small groups to come up with new pieces, sounds and "instruments" for the laptops and their accoutrements, and they're teaching them to their peers while sharing the code they've written with the other laptops.
One prototype includes a drum pad on which student Caleb Rau starts playing noises he's recorded: the rattlings of pebbles, ice and wood chips; the firings of nail guns. The plan is to have him hammer out combinations of sounds and record them as repetitive loops, he says. While the loops play back, he'll also play live on the drum pads. The other students will use Gametrak game controllers to alter the sound.
Rau and his group cohorts, Luke Wilson and Victoria Grace, explain to the other students how to use their controllers. Strings on the controllers track the positions of the students' hands, so moving a hand can manipulate the sound. Grace jumps up to act as the orchestra's impromptu conductor. While Rau plays back a loop that sounds like "zip zip BOOM zip zip BOOM," Grace raises and lowers her hand, and the students mirror her, pulling on their strings with thoughtful faces. A noisy patter of drum loops rises and falls. Steve Reich would be proud.
The work is in progress, but it's an intriguing start. "We'll have a huge variety of sounds," Wilson promises.
Another group presents a prototype that makes colorful use of Windows XP start-up sounds. They echo ringing tones across the company of laptops. Justin Heermann says his group is considering having audience participation in the Windows piece — through the crowd's own mobile phones. Watchers would go to a URL and their phones would light up with colors and sounds at the climax of the piece.
The students try this out. Their own phones come to life, sparking grins and giggles and a "Whoa!" from one guy.
As the Windows tones play on the laptops (sometimes erupting unexpectedly when people are trying to talk) the classroom feels like a start-up itself. These are new ideas being born, and often there are technical glitches at first. But bugs are all part of the process, Wang observes. "This is exactly why we have rehearsals like this." They're building something new from scratch.
Wang should know. When he created SLOrk with faculty, students and staff in the spring of 2008, the group utilized an ingenious array of objects. They fashioned speakers from IKEA salad bowls and car-stereo components. Each laptop sits on its own table and connects with cables to its own apparatus. And, of course, each musician has a meditation cushion to sit on. Five years later, the speakers have held up. The Macs are a later model.
Wang came to Stanford in 2007, after co-directing the Princeton Laptop Orchestra and teaching at Dartmouth College. He's now an assistant professor at CCRMA and Stanford's music department (and computer science, by courtesy). Wang authored the ChucK audio-programming language that SLOrk uses, and also co-founded the Stanford Mobile Phone Orchestra.
SLOrk has performed regularly over the years, including a real-time jam with traditional Chinese musicians in Beijing and performances at Macworld in San Francisco's Moscone Center and outdoors in Stanford's New Guinea Sculpture Garden. Along the way, the group has always attracted an unusual mix of players: not just music majors, but people studying biology, computer science and other disciplines.
"Music is just a universal glue. It brings people together," Wang says.
This quarter's bunch is dominated by computer-science students, many of whom are new to composing and performing music, much less conducting it.
The students "have the coding chops" to build the nuts and bolts of SLOrk compositions, but everything else about orchestra life may be relatively new to them, says teaching assistant Kurt Werner. "It's impressive how fast they're picking things up."
Though Wang is here at today's rehearsal, he's on sabbatical this academic year and is not around regularly. In his absence, Werner and fellow TA Spencer Salazar are running the orchestra, overseen by Jieun Oh, a fifth-year Ph.D. student who has been part of SLOrk as a student or TA throughout her grad-school career.
Oh is a classically trained flutist who knew very little about computer music before she came to Stanford. As an undergraduate here, she majored in symbolic systems and started thinking about the intersection of music and technology. Now she's working toward a doctorate in computer-based music theory and acoustics.
"My undergraduate major got me to think about cognition and perception, and the reasons why people get into music," Oh says, sitting with Werner before class. "I like the whole field of HCI: human-computer interaction."
Werner, who has a background in classical saxophone, is earning his doctorate in the same field. Like Oh, he's a veteran performer. But a big part of working with SLOrk is learning not to just try to emulate the acoustic instruments, the two both say. That way lies frustration.
Instead, laptop musicians must embrace the differences in computer music. It's not about trying to produce the perfect tone, but about enjoying the possibilities of playing a wide variety of instrument sounds, like some futuristic one-man band.
"Theoretically, you could be creating any kind of sound timbre with instruments," Oh says. Her favorite part: "When you aren't sure where the sweet spot is, you just keep improvising. It's exciting. It's like finding a hidden treasure."
SLOrk is also about learning to teach others the prototypes you've written, and about figuring out how to make all the computers work together as one orchestra. "Laptop musicians are more conductors than virtuosos," Werner says.
One challenge peculiar to a laptop orchestra is making an audience understand how the musicians are creatively producing the sound. The danger is that the orchestra could look like just a bunch of students checking their email, Werner says. So SLOrk choreographs moves that audiences can see, like musicians making sweeping arm gestures or pantomiming playing with their game-controller gloves.
In one SLOrk video from 2010, the action shows the diversity of the sounds possible. Instead of playing something peaceful and minimalist, as one might expect, several musicians launch into a piece called "Experimental Headbang Orchestra." As one person conducts, the others jump up and down, head-bang and flail their bodies forward and back. Unobtrusively but by no means quietly, the laptops wail away, sounding like a bunch of wild electric guitars.
Info: SLOrk will perform at Stanford's Bing Concert Hall at 8 p.m. June 5. The concert is free, but audience members must pick up tickets in advance. For details, go to live.stanford.edu.

text: I have been riding forever but have found that I have now developed a rather dramatic fear of heights...but mostly just when riding my 990R. High bridges over running water scare the crap out of me as do riding high ridges found here in Utah with steep slopes on each side without guard rails. I get through it, but almost makes me re-route trips to avoid a tense situation. I was thinking that the cause may be inner ear or eyesight, but annual checkups don't reveal anything odd. Just wondering if there is a pill, or a technique, or a hypnotist that anyone has used to overcome this syndrome (or am I the only pussy out there?). Thanks

Lately I have been finding long 2+ ft long dig/skid marks in my yard and figured one of my Great dane's was kicking up his/her feet after going to the bathroom...I have a pretty big yard.
Well since I am smoking outside more then inside. This morning at 6:45 I watched in disbelief my female great dane tear down the yard faster then I have ever seen her move chasing a full grown rabbit, after more then a few twists and turns....along with skid marks in the yard 30 seconds later She caught the rabbit. She did not kill it just pranced around with it in her mouth and dropped it on command. She did not break its skin but I am pretty positive she gave it internal injuries....since I had no problem grabbing it behind the neck and carrying it down the street and threw it in the woods to possibly recover since rabbits are still full of worms this time of year...at least that was what I was taught.
It looked like a Great white shark chasing a seal on land...truly impressive moves/speed by my dog and the rabbit.

AAR said nine of the 20 carload commodity groups it tracks gained ground during the week compared with a year ago, led by petroleum products, up 51.8%, motor vehicles and equipment, up 18.5%, and lumber and wood products, up 11.9%. Leading the declining commodities were grain, down 16.6%, and farm products excluding grain, down 16.8%.
Canadian freight carload volume for the week ending June 30 rose 4.7% measured against the comparable week in 2011, and Canadian intermodal volume did even better, up 14.5%; AAR said the intermodal volume was "the third-highest intermodal week ever for Canadian railroads."
Mexican freight carload volume also rose, up 7.1%, compared with a year ago, while Mexican intermodal advanced 13.3%.
AAR, tallying numbers for the month of June, said Thursday U.S. freight carload volume fell 1.3% compared with June 2011, while intermodal rose 5.2%. AAR noted the average weekly intermodal volume of 249,006 units is the highest average for any June on record and the third highest for any month, behind August and October 2006.
Slumping commodities for the first six months of 2012 were paced by grain, off 11.9%, and coal, down 10.7%.
Said AAR Senior Vice President John T. Gray, "The recovery in intermodal traffic since the recession has been remarkable and is due in large part to railroads' huge investments in their intermodal business that have improved rail intermodal's reliability and efficiency."
As of July 1, 2012, 317,681 freight cars were in storage, an increase of 4,743 from June 1, 2012, and equal to 20.7% of the North American fleet, AAR said. Total cars in storage have increased for nine straight months, due largely to reduced demand for coal and grain rail cars.

Bacteria that has become resistant to more than one class of antibiotics or that is determined to be easily spread and a significant risk to those in healthcare settings are referred to as Multi-drug Resistant Organisms (MDRO).
Acquiring an MDRO may or may not cause a disease. Those individuals who do not acquire a disease but acquire the organism are known to be colonizers or carriers of the organism. When an individual actually acquires disease from an MDRO, it can cause serious complications such as:
MDROs may require hospitalization or a longer hospitalization for those patients who acquire these organisms in the healthcare setting.
Because of the number of infections cause by MDROs seen in both the community and healthcare settings, Georgia Health Science Medical Center looks for the most prominent MDRO, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on admission to its intensive care units, where we have many at-risk patients.
Patients having high-risk surgery, those procedures requiring implanted devices or hardware (pace makers, defibrillators, orthopaedic and neurosurgery procedures), are also screened for MRSA prior to surgery.
Patients found to be positive with MRSA and/or other significant MDROs are placed on precautions to prevent the transmission of the organism to other at-risk patients and staff; to prevent patients identified as colonized from becoming infected with MRSA; and to aid in making the most appropriate medical decisions for patients identified with MRSA colonization; and for the best outcomes for our patients.
Patients who are found to be positive with MRSA are also identified in our internal information system by Hospital Epidemiology Department. Whenever a patient with known MRSA comes to the hospital or medical office building special precautions will be initiated automatically.
Hand hygiene and transmission-based precautions are the best means for preventing the spread of MDROs. Please see our graph on hand hygiene compliance.
Patients who are going to surgery and are colonizers of an MDRO receive antibiotics prior to surgery that will prevent the MDRO from causing disease at their surgical site and to promote the best possible outcome for the patient. This and other measures are part of the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP). These measures are monitored by the Quality Management Department. Please see our graphs on SCIP Core Measures.

5 Great Gifts Ideas for Professionals & 3 Gifts to Avoid
It's that time of year again! Cue the endless sales, shopping, and stress. While countless gift guides suggest the right thing for mom, husband, and neighbor, it's hard to find the perfect (yet appropriate) gift for a boss, client or co-worker. We're here to help, with 5 thoughtful and professional gift ideas, and 3 things you shouldn't give at work.
What to Give
Give: Desk Decor
Everyone needs office supplies, but they're a little boring for a gift. Why not offer a nice place to house them? Attractive accessories or small, unimposing decorations for the office, like a 3D logo from Shapeways, are a thoughtful adornment to the space.
Give: Tasty Treats
While foodie gift baskets can be impersonal, they're great because we all love food and they're definitely work appropriate. For a more thoughtful alternative, try to give a gift of food you know the recipient will like. Do they love to grill on the weekends? Perhaps a unique barbecue sauce would work. If you don't know their particular tastes, go local. A box of chocolates or cheeses from the shop downstairs is a lot more meaningful than a mass-produced gift basket.
Give: Tools they can Actually Use
If you want to make people really happy, give them tools that actually help at work. Products like the Tout Holiday Gift Card, which will help them get through their email faster and smarter, are great because they make life easier. And life's always better when it's a little easier. If you're on a budget, you can usually get a great deal on helpful products like Tout during the holidays.
Give: The Perfect Night Off
People need breaks in order to work well. A gift certificate to a great restaurant or a fun event can really show your thanks for an employee's hard work throughout the year. Just make sure you're not giving tickets to an event on short notice – you don't want to cause more stress by forcing someone to rearrange their schedule.
Give: One for the Road
Have a road warrior on your team? They can always use helpful tools to make travel faster. Try a gift like a solar phone charger – they'll stop worrying about being tied to a cord, and they'll appreciate the fact that your gift is one they can use every day.
What Not to Give
Don't Give: Gifts that Violate Company Guidelines
Most companies have rules that dictate gifting with clients, and many businesses also have rules about giving gifts in the office. If there's anything in your employee handbook that states guidelines for the holidays, make sure you follow them.
Don't Give: Gag Gifts
Just because you think someone will understand your humor doesn't mean they will. On top of that, even if the two of you understand the joke, a gag gift could easily be misconstrued by someone else in the office. The point of a gag gift is that it's funny, but you can't use it, so it's not very special anyway.
Don't Give: Anything Too Personal
Even if you feel close with people from work, it's best to err on the side of caution. Clothing, bath or body products, jewelry (anything very expensive, for that matter) or even flowers could all cross the line for a gift that's a bit too much. Stick to the gifts above, and you'll avoid any office awkwardness. Have you ever received a great (or terrible) professional gift? Share them in the comments below.

In 1993, 11 month old Charlie Abrahams developed difficult to control epilepsy. As a last resort, while Charlie was experiencing multiple daily seizures and multiple daily medications, his parents turned to a Ketogenic Diet for help. The diet worked. Charlie became seizure and drug free within a month. He was on the diet for five years and now eats whatever he wants. He has never had another seizure.
The Charlie Foundation for Ketogenic Therapies was founded in 1994 to provide information about diet therapies for people with epilepsy, other neurological disorders and select cancers.
Since our inception it has been confirmed thousands of times anecdotally as well as by a randomized controlled study that the ketogenic diet improves most children and adults with uncontrolled seizures and many, like Charlie, become drug and seizure free and return to a normal diet.
In recent years, less restrictive versions of the ketogenic diet have been developed making it accessible to a larger segment of the epilepsy population (estimated at over 60 million people worldwide). Today there are over 200 hospitals worldwide with ketogenic diet programs. In the USA, advanced-level epilepsy treatment centers are required to provide ketogenic diet therapy.
New applications of the ketogenic diet for cancer, autism, ALS, Parkinson's Disease, type-2 diabetes, and traumatic brain injury have emerged. Scientific data regarding these new uses of diet therapy is accumulating rapidly. Variations of the ketogenic diet for these other disorders are being developed. Today, it is the Charlie Foundation's expanded mission not only to champion ketogenic diet therapy for epilepsy, but provide up-to-date information regarding its expanded use and variations. To this end we have re-named ourselves "The Charlie Foundation for Ketogenic Therapies".
