Skip to comments.Therapy: Lighting Up a Life, Literally
Posted on 04/22/2005 12:09:23 PM PDT by neverdem
Exposure to bright artificial light can relieve some cases of depression as effectively as psychotherapy or antidepressant medication, new research suggests.
In a statistical review of 20 rigorously designed studies, researchers found strong evidence that exposure to artificial broad-spectrum light was a good treatment not only for seasonal affective disorder, in which people become more depressed in the darker days of winter, but for the more common nonseasonal depression. The review appears in the April issue of The American Journal of Psychiatry.
Dr. Robert N. Golden, professor and chairman of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine and the lead author, said he was once skeptical of such treatments.
"I noticed that there were a lot of really bad studies being published" that claimed good results based on weak evidence, Dr. Golden said. "But when you throw out the bad studies and look at the good ones, the data are actually very impressive."
Light therapy usually involves sitting in front of white fluorescent lights with eyes open but not looking directly at the light source. Treatment time varies from 15 minutes to 90 minutes a day.
Dawn simulation, a variation of the treatment, recreates the timing and intensity of a normal sunrise each morning. Symptoms can start to diminish within weeks.
Dr. Golden warns that the studies have not been large and that the standards for what constitutes exactly the right exposure have not yet been established.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
My step-son and I both get SAD every winter. He gets it particularly bad. Next winter we're getting lights, or we're moving back south where there's sun all year round...
I replaced the light in my bedroom with a "daylight" compact fluorescent bulb from Home Depot and put it on a timer. It's a LOT easier to get up in the morning now.
No kidding! Now the MD's will have to get a procedure code, so they can soak us all with "light therapy" bills. Common sense is all too uncommon!
Wow, what a good idea!
If you start in November, symptoms diminish after 16 weeks of treatment. If you wait until February, symptoms diminish after only 4 weeks of treatment.
Ya, whatever. Reminds me of the rubes that spend perfectly good money to sit in a tanning booth. Try getting outside sometimes people.
"Ya, whatever. Reminds me of the rubes that spend perfectly good money to sit in a tanning booth. Try getting outside sometimes people."
You might want to spend some time researching SAD, full-spectrum light and its effects on the brain before you toss around words like rube. And the fact that you would equate someone suffering from clinical depression with someone who wants a tan speaks volumes about your compassion.
And you might want to spend some time researching government grants, universities, and The American Journal of Psychiatry before deciding that sitting underneath some fluorescent lights is better than going outside and getting some sunshine.
"deciding that sitting underneath some fluorescent lights is better than going outside and getting some sunshine."
Has it occured to you that in certain climates, spending an hour outside every day in freezing winter temperatures isn't the best option, particularly when you have certain medical conditions like reynaud's syndrome?
Yes. Has it occurred to you that I don't need a professor and chairman of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, supported by taxpayer money, to tell me that sunshine (that would be "broad spectrum light") is good for us? This has been known since the days of Columbus, for crying out loud.
By the way, I think it's called Raynaud's Syndrome.
"Has it occurred to you that I don't need a professor and chairman of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, supported by taxpayer money, to tell me that sunshine (that would be "broad spectrum light") is good for us? This has been known since the days of Columbus, for crying out loud."
I never said anyone needed a professor to tell him/her that sunshine is healthy. I took issue with your suggestion that people who use light boxes are rubes. Some people, for a variety of reasons, can't get outside every day for an hour in winter. For those SAD sufferers, light boxes are what stands btwn. them and depression.
"By the way, I think it's called Raynaud's Syndrome."
Since you know how to spell it, you surely know what cold does to their extremities. and, yes, I do know someone with both disorders.
During my years in Tucson I could never understand how anyone could be depressed. Summer sunrise by 500 am (no daylight savings) and birds singing, it was great. But we still had a psych ward full of depressed people.
I understand the childlike wish that it could be so simple as to "go outside--get some sun--." To think that life could be that unthreatening. But if it were that simple, antidepressants never would have had to have been invented.
I thought sunshine, flowers and wheeling grandma onto the porch with a glass of lemon aid was common sense. I stand corrected.
Well, by all means, get some fluorescent lights into the psyhc wards.
When I was living in the north I wasn't bothered that much by the cold (daytime high of -25 on a warm day). It was the lack of daylight that drove me nuts- sunrise at 8:30am and sunset at 3:30pm. It was dark when I left the house, my only time outside was lunchtime and it was dark again when I headed home. Small wonder that alcoholism is a huge problem in northern towns.
It is sooo gray in the winters in NYC, it was killing me. My light box has increased my quality of life tremendously. I can't imagine life without it.

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help me.
I am creating a league management system and up to the point of creating a form to display all fixtures in the database with inputs allowing scores to be entered.
The fixtures are stored using the teamIDs of the teams in the fixture table which is realted to the teamID in the team table.
I have a join query which correctly displays the team names rather than their IDs for the user, however when displaying the teamIDs both the teams for one fixture share the same ID (I know for a fact that The Southfield is teamID 1 and Myton is teamID 3 E.g.
teamID | teamA | teamAScore | - | teamBScore | teamB | teamID
1 The Southfield 4 - 1 Myton 1
This doesn't make too much sense to me and I wondered if anyone could help as I think this is hindering my ability to update the table in the database as I can't supply it with one given ID, unless this is combatted in the update query itself..
PHP Code:
// Make a MySQL Connection
mysql_connect("localhost", "admin", "admin") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("lsl") or die(mysql_error());
//Query to join tables and obtain team names linked to IDs
$sql2= mysql_query ("SELECT *, fixtureVenue, t.TeamName as teamA, tt.TeamName as teamB
from team t inner join fixture f
on f.teamA = t.teamid
inner join team tt
on f.teamB = tt.teamid ")or die(mysql_error());
echo "
";
echo "<form name='form1' method='post'>";
echo "
 Team 1	 Score	  - 	 Score	 Team 2	 Date
";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql2) ) {
// Print out the contents of each row i
echo "
";
echo $row['teamA'] ;
echo "	";
echo "<input type='text' name='teamAScore[]' size='1' />";
echo "	";
echo " - ";
echo "	";
echo "<input type='text' name='teamBScore[]' size='1' />";
echo "	";
echo $row['teamB'];
echo "	";
echo $row['fixtureDay'], " ", $row['fixtureMonth']," ",$row['fixtureYear'] ;
echo "	";
echo "
";
echo"<input type='submit' value='Submit Results' name='Submit'/>";
echo "
";
$sql1="UPDATE fixture, team SET fixture.teamAScore='teamAScore[$i]', fixture.teamBScore='teamBScore[$i]' WHERE team.teamID = fixture.teamA and team.teamID = fixture.teamB";
echo "Updated!";
So if anyone could look at the code and see where I have gone wrong and perhaps point me in the direction for updating the table too that would be great! (Just a quick note on updating, when you hit submit it does absolutely nothing...)
Once I get this sorted I then need to move on to using the update query to update the team in the league_table table based on their ID - I'll no doubt run into more problems!
All help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
N.B. I don't have an online version of this, I am working locally using XAMPP.

GALVESTON, Texas - In two days, thieves stole two cars from lifeguards working to keep the beaches of Galveston Island safe.
In both cases, the lifeguards left their guard towers to do their jobs in the water. That was when someone went into their towers, stole their keys, got in their cars and took off.
The cars were parked along the seawall, near their watch towers.
"I saw two people standing around my tower. One person was in it. I came back and realized that my keys were gone," Lifeguard Haley Crummett said. "I called on the radio. And as I looked back, I saw somebody get into my car and drive off with it."
The same thing happened to lifeguard Molly Mihovil.
"Thought maybe I parked it somewhere else. I looked down at my bag. Noticed my keys were gone," Mihovil said.
Chief of the Galveston Island Beach Patrol Peter Davis said the thefts are unusual.
"I've been here almost three decades and this is the first time we've had lifeguard's cars stolen," Davis said.
Galveston Police quickly recovered both cars.
"The lesson for everyone here is you have to be vigilant and you have to protect yourself and try to keep your property where someone can watch it," Chief Henry Porretto said.

Nearly eight years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq have left 4,000 soldiers killed in action, more than 34,000 wounded – and only six considered worthy of the nation's highest military award for battlefield valor.
For some veterans and members of Congress, that last number simply doesn't add up.
They question how so few Medals of Honor – all awarded posthumously – could be bestowed for two wars of such magnitude and duration.
Pentagon officials say the nature of war has changed. Laser-guided missiles destroy enemy positions without putting soldiers in harm's way. Insurgents deploy roadside bombs rather than engage in firefights they're certain to lose.
Yet, those explanations don't tell the whole story, said Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif. Hunter sponsored legislation that directs the secretary of defense to review current trends in awarding the Medal of Honor to determine what's behind the low count. The bill passed the House. If Senate negotiators go along, Secretary Robert Gates would have to report back by March 31.
"It seems like our collective standard for who gets the Medal of Honor has been raised," said Hunter, a first-term member of Congress who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"The basis of warfare is you've got to take ground and then you've got to hold it. That takes people walking into houses, running up hills, killing bad guys and then staying there and rebuffing counterattacks," he added. "That's how warfare has always been no matter how many bombs you drop and how many predators you have flying around."
Military officials said they welcome the opportunity to conduct an in-depth review of the award process. Still, they dispute Hunter's theory.
"Nominations go through no more or less scrutiny than in the past," said Eileen Lainez, a Pentagon spokeswoman. "The standard for the Medal of Honor is high, as one would expect for our nation's most prestigious military decoration."
AMVETS, a veteran's advocacy group, said it supports Hunter's efforts. It held a banquet for Medal of Honors in January, and the low number of medals was a big topic of discussion, said Jay Agg, the group's communications director.
"They have expressed concern about their dwindling numbers and they're wondering why there are so few Medals of Honor being awarded for current conflicts," Agg said.
The Medal of Honor has been awarded 3,467 times since the Civil War. Almost half – 1,522 – were awarded in that conflict alone. The next highest tally came from World War II – 464. In the Vietnam War, 244 were awarded.
To get the Medal of Honor, at least two eyewitnesses have to view a deed so outstanding that it clearly distinguishes gallantry above and beyond the call of duty. No margin of doubt is allowed. Nominations make their way through military channels until eventually they're approved at the highest levels of the Pentagon and then by the president.
Drew Dix, 64, of Mimbres, N.M., received the medal for actions taken during the Tet Offensive in Vietnam when he continually risked his life during a 56-hour battle to rescue civilians. He said he didn't feel comfortable judging the current Medal of Honor process.
"We've trusted the military to fight this war," Dix said. "We've got to trust the military in all aspects of it, including the awarding of medals."
Jack Jacobs, 64, also received the award for actions taken in Vietnam when he returned again and again under intense fire to rescue wounded soldiers. He said the Pentagon's explanation for the low Medal of Honor count is logical, but he would not rule out other factors because of the subjective nature of the award.
"I'm not a fan of single factor analysis," Jacobs said. "There are lots of reasons why things occur and that is only one of them. Human attitudes also play a great role."
Jacobs, a military analysis at MSNBC, predicted the war in Afghanistan will involve more of the kind of close combat that leads to Medal of Honors being awarded.
It's unclear exactly how many soldiers have been nominated for the award from the two wars. But, seven have made it all the way to the secretary of defense, and six were approved. The exception is Sgt. Rafael Peralta of San Diego, Calif. Hunter said the Peralta case shows that a higher standard is being used for the medal than in previous wars.
Peralta died on Nov. 15, 2004, during fierce fighting in Fallujah, Iraq. The military's investigation showed he was probably hit by friendly fire from a member of his unit as they engaged insurgents inside a house.
Witnesses said Peralta, a Mexican immigrant who became a U.S. citizen while in the Marines, fell to the ground face-first after being shot in the crossfire. A fleeing insurgent threw a hand grenade into the room, which bounced off a couch and landed near Peralta's head.
"Sgt. Peralta grabbed the grenade and pulled it underneath him while we took cover," said an unidentified soldier whose name is redacted as part of the investigative file the military released publicly.
Peralta's nomination was sent back for further investigation after a preliminary autopsy report stated the head wound would have been immediately incapacitating and "he could not have executed any meaningful motions."
In the end, Lt. General Richard F. Natonski, stuck with his recommendation: "I believe Sergeant Peralta made a conscious, heroic decision to cover the grenade and minimize the effects he knew it would have on the rest of his Marine team."
Gates assemble an independent panel to review the nomination – something he did not do in the other six cases sent his way. The reviewers included a former commanding general, a Medal of Honor recipient, a neurosurgeon and two pathologists.
"The reviewers each individually concluded that the evidence did not meet the exacting 'no doubt' standard necessary to support award of the MOH," Gates said in a letter to Hunter.
Robert Reynolds, a lance corporal at the time, was about three to five feet behind Peralta when the grenade exploded. He has no doubt that Peralta purposefully attempted to place the grenade underneath himself to save others.
"It wasn't just something he barely did. He physically reached out and pulled it into his body," said Reynolds, 31, and now a corrections office and father of two daughters in Ritzville, Wash.
In the end, Peralta received the Navy Cross, the branch's second highest honor. Several California lawmakers have petitioned President Barack Obama to order a review of Peralta's case. AMVETS said all recipients of the second-highest honor for bravery for their branch of the military should have their case reviewed to determine if their actions merit the Medal of Honor.
Hunter said he's also concerned that no living soldier from Iraq or Afghanistan has earned the Medal of Honor.
"Having fewer of them is like depleting our national treasures," Hunter said.
But there are also concerns that meddling by Congress could lessen the significance of the medal.
"You don't want this group here determining what's courageous and what's not," Hunter said, referring to his fellow federal lawmakers. "You want that left up to the military. The problem is the military is not stepping up on this."

A pain in the neck has different meanings, though we agree the barking dog next door is a real pain in the neck when one is attempting to nap.
An article in the December edition of the Harvard Women's Health Watch states that more than 21 million women live with neck pain. Dr. Jerome Schofferman of Spine Care Medical Group reports: "One study estimated that in any year, one-third of adults has one episode of neck pain." It is not a gender issue, but simply an old "friend" that keeps returning.
An article in Scientific American points out that women feel pain more intensely than men. Mood, psychology, genetics and hormones are variables. It also states, "across many different diseases, women say they experience more pain than men." Perhaps men are more macho about pain or just have different tolerances.
There are many reasons why my neck and yours may be troublesome. Occasionally it happens overnight, or it builds up over time. Dr. Zacharia Isaac of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard states that arthritis and degenerative disc disease develop over the years and are exacerbated by "poor posture, declining muscle strength, stress and a lack of sleep."
Modern technology can also cause neck strain. Dr. Jack Dennerlein, also of Harvard, says that texting, phones on our shoulders, reading a book or working on the computer put us at risk. Is your computer monitor positioned at eye level? Is your desk chair comfortable and ergonomically correct? I found I was looking up at my computer screen instead of looking it squarely in the "eye." A friend readjusted my chair to my shrinking height, which placed the computer at eye level.
The next question is, where is the Kindle, book or cellphone located? If they reside in our lap, a good story or talk can have us bent over for a long period of time, putting stress on our muscles. When I read in bed, I take a small pillow, rest it on my lap and thus raise the book so I can look it in the eye, as well.
Dr. Isaac believes that exercise, starting with aerobics "to improve your overall cardiovascular fitness," is "the best general exercise for your neck."
As for preventing neck pain, the doctor suggests we should not stay in one position too long: Getting up and moving around avoids "getting your neck stuck in an unhealthy position."
Regular eye checkups are important. If our eyeglass prescriptions are outdated, we may find ourselves stretching our necks in one direction or another to peer at our reading. Using too many pillows when we sleep can be harmful as well. Dr. Isaac says we "stifle" the neck's range of motion with too many pillows.
We should know and respect our limitations. If you need to move furniture, for example, call a friend to help. One big solo tug can bring on one big pain in the neck.
According to Dr. Dennerlein, poor sleep also increases our risk of musculoskeletal pain, as we twist and turn to get comfortable. Often we wake with more aches and pains than we brought to bed.
The subject is not exhausted. It is painfully true: A pain in the neck is more than a barking dog.

Officials looking at ways of protecting supplies after zebra mussels found at Lewisville Lake
Zebra mussels are here, everyone knows that.
While they cannot be stopped, city and state officials are looking at ways to stifle the spread of the creatures after the latest arrival in a North Texas lake.
The discovery of the destructive creatures in Lake Ray Roberts last year and the recent find in Lewisville Lake this week have city officials looking at ways of dealing with zebra mussels and the likely event of them affecting Denton's water supply operations.
"Over a year ago, because of the discovery up in [Lake] Ray Roberts, we started to educate ourselves a little bit more on mussel management and control strategies and started to be a little more watchful in our systems and plant works," said Tim Fisher, assistant director of water utilities for the city of Denton.
"So far we haven't had any real infestation or operational complications, but we expect that will occur sometime in the future. You will not be able to control them in the lake. The question is can you control them in your intake? Is that control preventative or responsive and reactive?"
Fisher said he would want to take preventative measures, which can involve the use of chemical oxidants. Great care must be taken since improper dosage and management could contaminate drinking water, he said.
"What we have also seen is physical removal, taking facilities out of service and cleaning them," he said. "That's what we envision we will be faced [with], possibly in the next couple years."
Originating from Eastern Europe, zebra mussels were first found in Lake St. Clair just outside Detroit in 1988. They have been found in more than 600 lakes and reservoirs in 29 states.
Zebra mussels became established in Lake Texoma in 2009 and last year were found in Lake Ray Roberts and in the Elm Fork of the Trinity River above Lewisville Lake.
Fisher said Michigan and the states that felt the early pain of zebra mussel invasion were eventually able to cope.
"But they will probably affect some systems' operational reliability and some cost for maintenance," he said.
The latest discovery was a small juvenile zebra mussel only 4 to 4.5 mm in size. But Brian Van Zee of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said it could be an indication there are larvae just now settling.
"I would imagine over time we will see the numbers increase, but right now it is early in the infestation," he said.
Van Zee said officials are redoubling their efforts to get the word out about the preventative measures boaters can take to stop the spread of the zebra mussels in North Texas waters.
"We just need to continue trying to get the word out and stress the importance of following the simple steps of 'clean, drain, dry,'" Van Zee said.
Taking a few minutes to check over a boat after it leaves the water could potentially help stop the spread of the mussels to other lakes, he stressed. Lewisville Lake is an extremely popular boating destination, bringing people from miles around and creating a heightened chance for the spread of the creature to other bodies of water if the preventative measures are not followed.
Van Zee admitted the level of frustration is high for officials who are dealing with the zebra mussels.
"It's one of those things you wish you could turn back the clock and never have to deal with them. That's the true story for any invasive species you get," he said. "It gets to be more and more of a hassle trying to keep up with them and control them. Once they get established, there is no way to completely eradicate them. That's where the real frustration is. You try and get the word out, but not everyone listens."
Boaters need to listen though. There are legal ramifications if they do not.
Under the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department rules and the Texas Penal Code, possession or transporting of zebra mussels in Texas is a Class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500 for the first offense. Repeat offenses can be elevated to a Class B misdemeanor, which is punishable by a fine of up to $2,000, jail time up to 180 days, or both. If an individual is convicted a third time for the same offense, it becomes a Class A misdemeanor, which could result in a fine of up to $4,000, jail time not to exceed one year, or both.

The Mobile Dairy Classroom pulled into Woodcrest Elementary School with a couple of bovine educators to teach students milk and dairy products don't originate in the refridgerated aisle of the supermarket.
Feisty, a Jersey cow, and Dory, a two-day old calf, helped instructor Steven Miller emphasize the role of agriculture in bring food to people's tables, the importance of healthy eating and some basic cow anatomy and life cycle.
Students got to meet the cows after the school assembly.
The Mobile Dairy Classroom has six instructors who travel throughout the state visiting schools – there were multiple planned stops in Fullerton. The program is supported by California dairies.

SELF-DRIVING MISS DAISY ... Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill at Google in Mountain View this week to allow the testing of driverless cars on California's roads. And how did he get there? Da Gov rolled into the campus alongside Google co-founder and Palo Alto resident Sergey Brin in one of the company's self-driving vehicles. Brown told an audience that the state government "can either get in the way or we can help and set the framework" for allowing self-driving vehicles on the road. The bill, authored by state Sen. Alex Padilla, will allow licensed and bonded drivers to operate self-driving cars for testing purposes and requires that a human be at the wheel in case of emergencies. Brin said Google plans to have a "broad subset" of its employees test the cars in the next year, and that the technology will be available to the general public "several years after that." Proponents of the cars say they will make roads safer, reduce traffic and even make more efficient use of parking lots because the cars can park themselves. "You can have the car drop you off, and it goes off and takes somebody somewhere else," Brin said. When asked about the hesitancy of law-enforcement groups to embrace the concept, Brown said, "Anyone who sees the cars driving will get a little skittish, but they'll get over it."
CARS AND STRIPES ... Depending on whom you ask, the recent road configurations along Charleston and Arastradero roads were either much-needed and made the busy stretch safer for bicyclists and pedestrians or a misguided effort that made the street confusing for drivers. The project, which the city began in 2010, targets the busy 2.3-mile stretch between El Camino Real and Gunn High School. It includes reduction of lanes from four to three in certain stretches, dedicated left-turn lanes, a westbound right-turn lane from Arastradero into Gunn, an enhanced crosswalk at Arastradero and Clemo Drive, a median island at Arastradero and Hubbart Street and various traffic-signal modifications. So far, the changes were touted by the city as a "trial," but after observing the new configuration for two years, staff is proposing making them permanent. The City Council will consider this recommendation at its Monday night meeting. In a new report, Traffic Engineer Rafael Ruiz wrote that throughout the trial staff has received mixed feedback from residents. Some were concerned about increased congestion during the morning rush and increased cut-through traffic. Others cited a "general feeling of a much safer road to cross and travel along." Barron Park resident Nick Briggs, who falls into the latter camp, wrote to the council that he has been "overall, very happy" with the re-striping. "It has reduced the peak speeds I observe and not significantly increased the time it takes me to travel in either direction," Briggs wrote. Not everyone, however, shared his sentiment. "The present striping also is confusing and dangerous for pedestrians and bicyclists," wrote Jean Wren, a Matadero Avenue resident. "Cars have difficulty figuring out where the main lane is, thus often invade the bicycle lane or turn lanes." Perhaps, self-driving vehicles could solve that problem.

Remuneration Structure and Corporate Entrepreneurship: A UK Study
This purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of remuneration structure and corporate entrepreneurship.
To reconcile the inconsistencies and non-conclusive findings from previous studies this study developed two
propositions to test: the relationship of Executive Stock Option (ESO) and corporate entrepreneurship and the
use of performance criteria in awarding bonuses to executives and entrepreneurial activities. Using the mixed
method approach this study selected the top 100 companies in the U.K for the quantitative study and six cases
were selected for the case studies. The findings indicated that there is no relationship between Executive Stock
Option (ESO) and corporate entrepreneurship activities. However, the finding was partially supported in the use
of performance criteria in awarding bonuses to executives and entrepreneurial activities.

Rickey, Rice join baseball immortals
Idyllic Cooperstown filled with anticipation of inductions
By Mychael Urban / MLB.com
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Having thoroughly soaked this idyllic, tiny, tree-swathed town with a steady downpour for most of Friday, the skies relented as the sun surfaced Saturday, giving way to a pleasantly clear and comfortable climate befitting baseball's version of heaven. Hall of Fame Weekend 2009 dawned spectacularly, providing the legends participating in the Hall of Famer Golf Tournament with gorgeous conditions in which to drive for show and putt for, well, you know.
It's that other stick-and-ball game, of course, that's expected to bring more than 14,000 people to Baseball Town USA, the immaculately groomed downtown streets coming alive in force on the eve of Induction Sunday.The Hall of Fame ceremony will air live on MLB.com and MLB Network beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET today, and that's really the main event this weekend. With first-ballot inductee Rickey Henderson, final-ballot inductee Jim Rice and Veterans' ballot choice Joe Gordon taking their rightful places in the sport's pantheon, today will be a beautiful day in baseball, rain or shine -- and with a significant chance of rain. As always, the entire weekend is an event for Cooperstown, and Saturday's gorgeous day made it clear it's a special one, especially for the two biggest star attractions -- Henderson and Rice. Fittingly, the former Red Sox slugger officially kicked off the weekend by hitting cleanup in a star-studded foursome in the golf tournament. Hours later, Rice shared the stage in a local middle school auditorium with self-proclaimed "rent-a-player" Henderson, who played for nine teams to Rice's one on the way to Cooperstown. And what a rent-a-player Henderson was over his 25 seasons. As Rice duly noted, Henderson's basestealing ability frequently turned a walk or single into a double, a double into a triple. He was an unparalleled "igniter," Rice said. Then Rice, one of the game's most dangerous sluggers and most consistent run producers during his 15-year career, broke up the crowd by saying he told Boston pitchers to dispense with the futility of containing Henderson on mere merit. "I'd tell them, 'The best thing you could do is hit him in the kneecap,'" Rice said with a smile.
|When: Today, 1:30 p.m. ET
|Live MLB.com stream of MLB Network starts at 12:30 p.m.
|Who: Rickey Henderson, Jim Rice and Joe Gordon will be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Tony Kubek will be honored with the Frick Award for broadcasting and Nick Peters will receive the Spink Award for sportswriting.
|Where: Clark Sports Center, Cooperstown, N.Y.
|Weather: High 70's, 50 percent chance of thunderstorms
|Attendance: 14,000 expected
Henderson returned serve, recalling the fear felt by A's pitchers charged with keeping Rice from doing damage."We used to go over scouting reports, and with Jim, when his name popped up, it seemed like all the pitchers trembled. They were scared," Henderson said. "I used to call him 'Speakers,' because he didn't hit the wall. He hit the speakers [beyond the center-field wall at Fenway Park]. "We had one pitcher, Mike Norris, he used to hate pitching to Jim, and he asked me, 'What can I do to get Jim out?' I said, 'Just hit him in the kneecap.'" Also at the news conference was Judy Gordon, the daughter of the former Yankees and Indians second baseman who'll be posthumously inducted as a Veterans Committee selection today. Judy will speak on her father's behalf today, and if she struggles -- "I cry really easy," she admitted -- she could ask for assistance from Tony Kubek, who did not succeed in convincing his rapt audience that he was worried about his time on the podium today. "I'm not a speaker," said the Hall's 2009 Ford C. Frick award for, ironically enough, excellence in broadcasting. After the news conferences, the various honorees dispersed to points all around town, where virtually everywhere you turned was a related event. There was the annual New York-Penn League game at quaint Doubleday Field, where the right-field fence sits a Rice popup -- 250 feet -- away from home plate. Who won? Who really cares? It didn't take a game story by Nick Peters, the recipient of the 2009 J.G. Taylor Spinks Award for baseball writing, to make it a keeper. Over at the Clark Sports Center, more than 750 people watched Hall of Famers Goose Gossage, Ryne Sandberg and Dick Williams play "Hall of Fame Feud" against fans in the popular Connecting Generations event, with MLB Network's Harold Reynolds presiding. Who won that? Come on. Like you need to ask. And, of course, between trips to Main Street's many memorabilia shops, where Hall of Famers signed autographs for long lines of adoring fans, thousands visited the centerpiece of it all, the unimposing red-brick shrine to all things hardball. Wrapped up with the red-carpet arrivals of the Hall of Famers at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, it was a day as close to perfect as possible. Today -- rain or shine -- promises to be every bit as special.

GRAMMYs On The Road With Tia Fuller And Arturo O'Farrill
The Recording Academy played host to GRAMMYs On The Road at the Detroit Jazz Festival on Aug. 31 – Sept. 3 in downtown Detroit. GRAMMY.com conducted exclusive backstage interviews with artists performing at the festival, including saxist Tia Fuller and GRAMMY-winning pianist Arturo O'Farrill.
Fuller discussed her new album, Angelic Warrior, creative influences and performing with GRAMMY winner Beyoncé, among other topics.
"Life is my main influence and inspiration," said Fuller. "Outside of all of the musicians around me, audiences are really inspiring as well."
Fuller is a composer, arranger, bandleader, alto saxist, soprano saxist, and flautist. She attended Spelman College in Atlanta where she studied under saxist Joe Jennings and earned a bachelor's degree in music. She received her master's in music, jazz pedagogy and performance from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Currently based in Jersey City, N.J., Fuller has released three albums, Pillar Of Strength (2005), Healing Space (2007) and Decisive Steps (2010). From 2006–2010 she performed as part of Beyoncé's all-female touring band. Set for release on Sept. 25, Angelic Warrior features special guest appearances by GRAMMY winners Terri Lyne Carrington and Dianne Reeves, and bassist John Patitucci.
O'Farrill discussed his early music education, performing in a band with his sons and memorable moments in his career, among other topics.
"I always leaned toward free jazz … experimental jazz and progressive jazz. I feel like jazz is just part of the flavor and palette that you have as a musician to experiment with," said O'Farrill.
Born in Mexico and raised in New York, O'Farrill emerged as a prominent figure in the Afro-Cuban jazz movement. The son of bandleader Chico O'Farrill, Arturo O'Farrill attended the Manhattan School of Music and the Brooklyn College Conservatory. He has performed with artists including Harry Belafonte, Lester Bowie, Dizzy Gillespie, and Wynton Marsalis, among others. He released his debut solo album, Blood Lines, in 1999. He earned his first GRAMMY Award in 2008 with the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra for Best Latin Jazz Album for Song For Chico. His most recent album is 2012's The Noguchi Sessions.
In addition to artist interviews, The Recording Academy also presented GRAMMY SoundTables featuring Detroit Jazz Festival performers discussing their music and careers. Participants included GRAMMY winners Terence Blanchard, Gary Burton and Joe Lovano.
Come back tomorrow for more GRAMMYs On The Road at Detroit Jazz Festival coverage.

Empowering deserving military families with educational support and opportunities.
When one is invited to a dinner to celebrate the past champion, it's generally good form to be appreciative and polite. Making rude comments about one's choices is simply rude.
I note that Mr. Nicklaus signed right over the center of the menu....
Rick, what Nick say?
Definitely a Bubba menu...liking the confetti cake!
bholleyIt's not the food it's the company
agreed. i would eat anything if it meant being at that dinner!
Nick Faldo likening Bubba's menu to something from a fast-food outlet. "You had a year to decide on, grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, macaroni & cheese!!! #Happy-Meal #PlayLikeaChampion," he tweeted.
TNT009Rick, what Nick say?
I agree that the menu was somewhat lackluster but Faldo can be a bit crass at times with his comments. Either way, it's really about the company, right? What a list!
I totally agree. What it would be like to be eating in that room? WOW!
Mr. Faldo during today's telecast responded to a question about the Bubba Chsmpion's Dinner menu, on the national telecast, by stating that the only thing missing from the meal was a coloring book...do you think Nick Faldo is exemplifying the character and Mark of a Champion?! Not very classy Nick...
Nicks comment didn't surprise me and neither did bubba's meal choice... It's suppose to be something personnel to the defending champ anyways right?
Like others have said, it's about the company not the food... And what if it was crazy good chicken? Nick mad it wasn't topped with caviar and a poached bald eagle egg?
The signatures are col -- but if you re ever at Augusta for the Masters I suggest visiting - actually playing at Palmetto Golf Club ( www.palmettogolfclub.net ) established in 1892 and one of the oldest cc in the US. It is in Aiken SC and only open to the public during Masters week. They have a small "museum" room that has memorabilia including a napkin signed by attendees from earlier Masters dinners. One has an unusual signature on it - in light of the men only policy. The signature is *** Zacharias. -- it is a small room but interesting to walk thru - the relationship is the course designer as well as the fact that the "member - guest at Palmetto was the weekend before Masters and the "guests were usually pros - and the opportunity to make some money. I recommend the visit even if you do not play the course.
Looks like a basic menu - nothing over the top :-/
Fred I beat them to it that is what I had last night
Sounds like a pretty good menu to me...maybe a little heavy on the starches but, its his meal, he earned it!
Faldo complains about everything, I'm sure he complained about the green jacket being itchy when they put it on him. Champions dinner is for the champion to pick, end of story. If he wanted 5 Guys or Chipotle for dinner then so be it, you respect the Champion for what they want.
pistolpeteMr. Faldo during today's telecast responded to a question about the Bubba Chsmpion's Dinner menu, on the national telecast, by stating that the only thing missing from the meal was a coloring book...do you think Nick Faldo is exemplifying the character and Mark of a Champion?! Not very classy Nick...
i heard that and was a little surprised. but i think this involves more than just the dinner. from i have read recently, a lot of the other pros don't like Bubba. so maybe this was stemming from that.

Very horny comments, always find that people lose their inhibitions at a hotel - only a few weeks back my wife was flirting with a some blokes who were on a stag night, they were staying in the rooms opposite us, she was getting a lot of suggestive comments and I was enjoying her lap up the attention. After a while we went back to our room but noticed my wife say 10 mins to one of the fellas as we left. When we got back my wife took off her dress to her little black thong and said she was going across to Harry and Pauls room. She said they had organised a little something for the stag - she put her dressing gown over her in case people were about and went off. Only about 10 minutes later she came back, my cock was rigid at the sight of her - she was covered in spunk, allover her tits and stomach, her thong was drenched with the stuff, she said at least 7 of them had done their loads over her, Bukkake treat for the stag.

Brumbies snare former NRL coach Brian Smith
The ACT Brumbies have successfully landed a cross-code blow, securing former NRL coach Brian Smith as a consultant coach for the 2013 Super Rugby season.
The former St George, Parramatta, Newcastle and Roosters mentor will join Jake White's coaching staff in an attempt to add starch to the Brumbies' defence.
It comes a month after the Brumbies tried to sign rugby league great Danny Buderus as a collision coach.
However, the NRL stepped in and blocked the move just hours after Buderus was unveiled at Brumbies HQ.
Rugby league officials were left fuming the Brumbies had signed Buderus while he still had a year left on his playing contract in the NRL.
White then tried to sign former Canberra Raiders captain Alan Tongue.
But Tongue declined because he is employed by the NRL.
Smith has reportedly been to one training session in the capital to assist White and his team in the pre-season.
When the Buderus debacle had settled, White was adamant he wasn't launching a cross-code war against rugby league and instead just wanted to improve his team.
But by signing Smith, rugby league will view the move as a strike against them.
Smith was sacked by the Roosters after the 2012 season - during which they finished 13th - despite having a year remaining on his contract.
He has failed to secure another full-time job in Australia.
He was set to be without a coaching job next year until he got a call from White.
Smith coached for more than 550 games in the NRL, but never won a premiership.
White's coaching staff now includes Wallabies legend Stephen Larkham and former Brumbies head coach Laurie Fisher as his assistants.
Former Wallabies captain George Gregan is a consultant with Smith as well as Eddie Jones.
Brumbies chief executive Andrew Fagan said: "The focus on the moment is on the pre-season period and working with the guys and it's wonderful to have someone of Brian's experience.
"He and Jake will be exchanging ideas on all sorts of things.
"When Jake first arrived last year one of the first things he did was speak to a number of coaches in other codes and Brian was one of those.
"Jake's not adverse to bring in outsiders to try to offer a different point of view. It's a good thing for us and it's an area of focus for Jake ... it ended up being a bit of a mess with Danny Buderus and I think this is a good thing moving forward for us."

Omiru Poll Results: Hot Pink is Out!
May 7th, 2007
We asked: Is Hot Pink In or Out?
You said: Hot Pink is Out–or at least, On the Way Out. A whopping 46% voted this color Out, and another 16% cast their ballot for On the Way Out.
Omiru's take: Seems that while bright colors are In this season, pink's not getting the love. While pink isn't the new black, you're all for cobalt blue and bright yellow. Probably for the best. Style tip? If you dare to wear Hot Pink, skip the Pink-on-Black combination–it's a little too Hot Topic for our taste. Instead, complement the bright pink hue with a low-key grey.
Next Question: We asked you last year what you thought about Oversized Sunglasses–and you voted them On the Way Out. Now, a year later, we're checking in to see what you think of them now. Tell us, are Oversized Sunglasses In, or are they Out? Cast your vote

soooo sick of watching videos that are all about blow jobs as the main event. I skip over it every time. Surely I'm not the only person that only does blow jobs as an occasional something nice for the guy. but I don't enjoy it.
This is incredibly beautiful. Hi Five to X-Art!

my ex wife had lots of tats and they looked good on her. i especially liked one she had on her lower back, it was a symbol that could rensemble a dick. So when i fucked her doggystyle, it was kinda strange seein my dick goin in her, while that other one stayed there.

She was soft at the beginning then she turned into a SLUT
This shouldn't be here on youporn. This is art. This is beyond porn, and all other industrially made jerk-off material. If this is a a segment from a european indie film, I would probably believe it. If you take away the parts showing penetration, it really is a theater-grade film. X-art really puts the 'art' into all this.
She is a dream, spectacular!

Raider girls win their home tourney
River City High School's girls soccer team won its "Raider Cup Classic" tournament held Feb. 28 and March 1.
The rainy-weekend victory came over 11 visiting varsity teams from Summerville to Nevada Union.
The Raiders faced Armijo High in the finals on Saturday. It was a game of "continuous action," reports RCHS coach Kamal Singh, with River City prevailing 2-0.
The Raider varsity was anchored on the offense by Jaylem Crim and Keionna Claypoole; in the midfield by Andrea Salcedo, Taylor Martin and Crystal Carroll; and on defense by Annie Wampler, Valeria Salcedo, Marinna Vigil, Melissa Whitesell, Dianerick Ramirez and goalkeeper Erin Delany.
The Raiders defense yielded zero goals during the whole tournament, helping to win its preliminary tournament matches 5-0, 7-0 and 1-0.
The team lost sophomore starting center Hildelice Medina to a season-ending knee injury in the second game.
"You learn to make adjustments," said Coach Kamal Singh later. "Soccer is a team sport, and I told the girls they had to step up to fill the void of not having Hildelice. (Winning) this tournament was no accident. These girls have been training hard and wanted to win this tournament and make River City Girls Soccer history."
The team is off to a 7-0 start to its season.

Operating income was $158 million compared with $128 million a year ago, a 23% increase. The operating ratio of 71.2% was a 2.6 point improvement from first-quarter 2011. Operating expenses in the first quarter were $390 million compared with $361 million in the corresponding 2011 period. Reported net income in first-quarter 2012 totaled $75 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared with $64 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, in first-quarter 2011. Excluding debt retirement costs, adjusted diluted earnings per share for first-quarter 2012 were $0.75.
KCS said, "First-quarter revenue growth compared to 2011 was led by a 26% increase in Intermodal and a 21% increase in Automotive revenues. Revenues from Industrial and Consumer Products and Agriculture and Minerals were also strong, with growth of 17% and 14%, respectively, over 2011. Chemical & Petroleum revenue grew 6% in the first quarter. Starting in first-quarter 2012, KCS has expanded the Coal business unit to better reflect the Company's diversified opportunities in the energy sector. The expanded business unit has been renamed Energy and along with coal and petroleum coke, it includes crude oil, frac sand, and other new energy markets. Energy revenue declined by 1% compared to 2011, primarily caused by a 10% decrease in utility coal. Coal and petroleum coke declined by 7% in the first quarter. Partially offsetting these declines were increases in revenue from crude oil and frac sand compared to first-quarter 2011."
"We are encouraged by the overall strength of our first-quarter 2012 results," stated KCS President and CEO David L. Starling (pictured). "The company attained record first-quarter volumes, revenues, and operating ratio. The first quarter is typically the most challenging in terms of operations and volumes. For us to have an operating ratio of 71.2% in the quarter is a good start to the year."
"Already in 2012," Starling said, "we can point to a number of developments illustrative of our strengthening financial status. Reacting opportunistically to an attractive interest rate environment, we entered into a $275 million bank term loan arrangement, which carries a LIBOR plus 125 basis point interest rate. The Company is using the proceeds of this term loan arrangement to redeem its 8% Senior Notes, tendering $175 million of the Senior Notes during the first quarter, with the remaining $100 million expected to be called in the second quarter of 2012."

By Allan Muir
I was up in the press box the night highly touted Stars prospect Fabian Brunnstrom scored a hat trick in his NHL debut, so I've learned first-hand the importance of tempering enthusiasm about a young player after a big game or two.
But geez, these kids are making it hard.
Take Vladimir Tarasenko, St. Louis' 2010 first rounder who followed up a two-goal debut against Detroit on Saturday with a three-pointer Monday in Nashville. He got the Blues on the board just 1:18 after Colin Wilson had given the Preds a first-period lead with the type of goal that says it all about his hockey sense. Check out the video below to see him maximize his time and space by waltzing in, using Scott Hannan as a partial screen, then unloading a laser to beat Pekka Rinne.
A goal like that will move a lot of sweaters at the merchandise shop at Scottrade Center, but in just two games he's hinted at the ability to do so many other things that will help this team win games. He's unselfish, he keeps his feet moving and he's fearless, driving the net at any opportunity. And he's got a bit of moxie, as he proved by flattening Shea Weber in retaliation after Nashville's man mountain had laid out Alex Steen.
Then, there was this.
I don't know how many highlight shows there are in Switzerland, but Pierre McGuire is right: this goal that clinched a 4-3 shootout win over Columbus for Detroit by Damien Brunner will be on all of 'em.
Interesting that Detroit coach Mike Babcock revealed during an in-game interview on NBC SportsNet that he was trying to avoid overcoaching Brunner as the rookie winger makes the adjustment from the Swiss League to the NHL. They're not trying to make him fit a mold, and they're not trying to burden him with too many responsibilities early. In other words, they're letting Brunner be Brunner.
That's a crafty move from one of the game's sharpest minds. It'll be a process for the 26-year-old, but Babcock understands that if that's the kind of nasty stuff he brings, a little patience could go a long way.
Then there's Mike Kostka. No highlights for him, because that's not what the Toronto blueliner is about. But two games into his late-in-life rookie season, the 27-year-old has earned 50 minutes of ice--more than any other rookie--playing a solid if unspectacular brand of defense for a Leafs team that desperately needs a stabilizing influence on the back end. Randy Carlyle put him out there, wearing that training camp number (53), in every situation in tonight's 2-1 loss to the Sabres and he handled it with the aplomb of a vet. He even kept his two-game point streak alive with an assist on Nazem Kadri's shutout-busting power play goal late in the third.
You never know with a guy like this -- a couple rough games and he could be back riding in the iron lung -- but for Leafs fans this local kid is an easy guy to root for.

Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
Turk Malloy: Don't change the facial structure.
Virgil Malloy: I'm making you taller. Don't you want to be taller? You're a midget in 34 states.
Turk Malloy: Yeah, well, I'm an animal in the other 34.
Virgil Malloy: [turns and stares at Turk]
Turk Malloy: 24. 22.
Terry Benedict: [referring to Danny donated Terry's share of the money to charity] You think this is funny?
Danny Ocean: [as he opens a door to leave Terry's office] Well, Terry, it sure as shit ain't sad.
[Linus is talking to his dad on the phone in Ruben's home in Las Vegas]
Linus Caldwell: No, Dad. It will work.
[Danny puts his hand out for the phone]
Linus Caldwell: No Dad, I won't put Danny on.
[Rusty puts his hand out for the phone]
Linus Caldwell: Or Rusty.
Rusty Ryan: Relationships can be...
Danny Ocean: Sure.
Rusty Ryan: But they're also...
Danny Ocean: That's right.
Rusty Ryan: Turn the machine off guys.
Turk Malloy: It is off.
Rusty Ryan: Are you kidding?
Turk Malloy: Does it sound like I'm laughing, sweetheart?
Danny Ocean: [to Willy Bank] You shook Sinatra's hand. You should know better.
Linus Caldwell: [passing Yen off as a whale] He owns all of the air south of Beijing.
Abigail Sponder: [disbelieving] The air?
Linus Caldwell: Let me put it to you this way: try building something taller than three stories in the Tiangjin province, and see if his name comes up.
Yen: [pointing at Danny, Rusty and Linus] Shit. Shit. Shit.
[Danny, Rusty, and Linus are talking to Benedict]
Rusty Ryan: It can't be done.
Linus Caldwell: We don't have the manpower.
Danny Ocean: Or the time.
Rusty Ryan: Or a way in.
Danny Ocean: [at the airport] Alright, well... I'll see you when I see you
Rusty Ryan: Hey, next time? Try keeping the weight off in between.
Danny Ocean: Hey. Settle down. Have a couple of kids.
Turk Malloy: That was good.
Virgil Malloy: I know. That's why they asked me to do it and not you.
Turk Malloy: Okay, this is me offering you an olive basket. And this is you spitting in my face.
Virgil Malloy: Oh, is that your face?
Reuben Tishkoff: The moment you become embarrassed of who you are, you lose yourself. I changed my house, the way I dressed, the way I ate - for what? For nothing.
Turk Malloy: [referring to hacking into Banks' computer system] Are you in yet?
Virgil Malloy: [knowing he was referring to that line spoken during sexual intercourse] I hate that question.
Basher Tarr: [dressed as Evel Knievel] Mr. Banks. Do you know what Chuck Berry said every night before counting one, two, three, four?
Willy Bank: What did he say?
Basher Tarr: Pay me my money.
Abigail Sponder: We're gonna have to let you go. Turn in your uniform.
Fired Waitress: I only gained 4 pounds. You can't.
Abigail Sponder: Yeah, well your body index is not what it's supposed to be.
Fired Waitress: But Ms. Sponder...
Abigail Sponder: Oh, no, baby doll. It's your butt that's the problem.
[walks away]
Frank Catton: [voiceover] You can't fire no waitress based on appearance. Man that's just unconstitutional.
Danny Ocean: If they were waitress.
Linus Caldwell: Yeah, they're actually hired as 'models who serve' so that Bank can monitor their physical appearance.
Rusty Ryan: It's a cruel, cruel practice.
Reuben Tishkoff: [to Bank about being double-crossed] There's a code amongst guys who shook Sinatra's hand!
Willy Bank: screw Sinatra's hand
Roman Nagel: [to Danny and Rusty] You're analog players in a digital world. You're done.
Linus Caldwell: [after Rusty and Danny get off the plane] Hey, where are Tess and Isabel?
Danny Ocean: It's not their fight!
Linus Caldwell: Whoa!
Linus Caldwell: The Nose Plays!
Danny Ocean: Oh, the nose plays.
Rusty Ryan: The nose plays.
Roman Nagel: [in Ruben's home in Las Vegas] Well, I'm gonna give you back the hundred grand.
Danny Ocean: Why?
Roman Nagel: Danny, I like you. And you Rusty. I mean, you've got style. You've got brio. You've got loyalty. Believe me, I would love to go up against Greco and crush him... but it can't be beat. It can't be hacked and it can't be beat.
Danny Ocean: Not even by you?
Roman Nagel: Oh, with 18 months, nothing else on my plate, no other jobs, no women, no distractions... maybe.
Rusty Ryan: But you know everything about this thing.
Roman Nagel: Everything, except where it's being deployed. The inventor's an old schoolmate of mine. His name is Greco Montgomery. Pompous arse named it after himself.
Rusty Ryan: Greco? Roman?
Roman Nagel: You've obviously never served time in a British boarding school.
Turk Malloy: [referring to Willy Bank while standing around Reuben's hospital bed] I don't care if it gets messy.
Virgil Malloy: I'll drive you. We'll get him leaving his barber.
Livingston Dell: And I'll inject him.
Basher Tarr: And I'll find a spot to get rid of the body.
Rusty Ryan: All valid ideas. Great initiative. But...
Danny Ocean: But...
Rusty Ryan: [referring to Isabel] Well, She said she liked surprises...
Danny Ocean: Uhuh, and?
Rusty Ryan: When I gave her one, she dropped the remote on the table and I put the towel back on.
Linus Caldwell: [to Danny and Rusty at the airport] I'll see you, when I see you!
[last lines]
The V.U.P.: [at the airport while standing on the chair] I won! Look at this! I won $11 million! Can you believe it? Look at that! I won $11 million. Did you see that? I can't believe it!
Reuben Tishkoff: We'll talk about it when I'm dead.
Roman Nagel: You do know what a magnetron is?
Danny Ocean: [pause] Something that screws up the Greco?
Abigail Sponder: [after a small earthquake] What was that?
Linus Caldwell: You felt it too?
Linus Caldwell: It is not a prop for prop's sake!
Roman Nagel: You're like the Morecambe and Wise of the thievery world, but even they went off the boil after a while.
Virgil Malloy: [as he and Turk leave a factory in Mexico] Nestor says hang tough.
Danny Ocean: [during the tunnel boring machine induced earthquake as the casino is being evacuated when the machine is shut down and quake continues] This is not time for jokes, fellas!
Turk Malloy: [underground with the TBM] Does it sound like I'm laughing, sweetheart.
Rusty Ryan: [referring to Tess] Did she understand?
Danny Ocean: It's not their fight.
Rusty Ryan: Did she understand?
Danny Ocean: [pauses, referring to Tess ] It's not their fight.
Danny Ocean: [at a construction site during work hours] What I want; what's most important to me is that Reuben gets his share of the hotel restored. Now I'm here to give you that chance.
Willy Bank: Oh, you're gonna give me a chance?
Willy Bank: OK. Let me guess. It's a Billy Martin? I pass.
Danny Ocean: [explaining about The Bank Casino to Roman at Ruben's home in Las Vegas] Bank's swinging for the one this one. Forget weekenders and conventioneers. He's built this place for whales. It's a shoo-in for the Five Diamond Award. The marble was hand-picked in Italy. The chefs stolen for the highest-rated restaurants in the Michelin guide book. In the villas, for his big players, the silverware is actually gold. Bank's greatest strength is also his weakness: ego. He's been spending his days checking and rechecking every inch of the property, getting ready for the big grand opening celebration. It's a complusion.
Linus Caldwell: [on the phone with Danny] The specs aren't on the gray market, the black market or any other market. And all I keep hearing is there's never been a system like this. Now, I found out where they designed it, but I can't even get in the building! I've blown all my buy money, my bribe money, four of my best ID's and I am nowhere! Not only am I nowhere, I'm pretty sure I'm being followed.
Danny Ocean: [over the phone] Do you have anything?
Linus Caldwell: Yeah, I think I have a name but I don't even know if it's right. They're calling it...
Roman Nagel: [cuts scene] The Greco. The Greco Player Tracker.
Reuben Tishkoff: [seeing the poker chip Willy just tossed to him at a construction site after business hours] You changed the name?
Willy Bank: [walking away] I like it better! Don't you?
Turk Malloy: [dressing as a chef] I feel bad, like torture.
Saul Bloom: [putting together the faux dog speaker] This is war, kid. There's going to be collateral damage!
[Roman's away message]
Roman Nagel: This is Roman Nagel. If your consciousness absolutely has to intrude upon mine... leave me a message.
Frank Catton: [after Yen spoke in Chinese] What did he say about Samsung?
Livingston Dell: He said he used to bowl with the owner of Samsung.
Willy Bank: [Commenting on a construction delay] How long do I have to wait for a conduit? I don't want the labor pains. I just want the baby!
Guest: [to Willy Bank as he leaves the hotel] A friend of mine, a very serious man, told me very seriously that it would be a good idea if I left the hotel. I'm taking his suggestion.
Linus Caldwell: [intentionally speaking in metaphors to Danny and Rusty] We've shaken all the trees, we've looked under every rock, we've talked to everybody we can trust I know it's not a great idea but it is an idea and as long as we have one idea we shouldn't give up
Rusty Ryan: Ok, the elevator guard has this little Hitler for a son, a real Ritalin surfer... are you OK?
Danny Ocean: Yeah, I just bit into a pepper.
Rusty Ryan: Anyhow... are you... uh...
Danny Ocean: Hmmm?
Rusty Ryan: Are you watching... Oprah? And drinking a bottle of wine? Did you TIVO this?
Danny Ocean: I was reading the paper.
Rusty Ryan: With the sound turned on full?
Rusty Ryan: They built em smaller back then.
Danny Ocean: Yeah, but they seemed big.
[first lines]
Rusty Ryan: [answering phone] Yeah. Shit. Where is he? Gotta go.
Willy Bank: You know, you're half smart, Ocean.
Saul Bloom: [to Danny, Rusty, Linus, Virgil, Yen, Basher, and Turk] When they opened The Flamingo, one day it was closed, the next it was open. End of story. I know, I was there.
Roman Nagel: [in Ruben's home in Las Vegas] Good Lord. How stuck are you?
Danny Ocean: Stuck.
Rusty Ryan: Stalled really.
Danny Ocean: Stuck.
Roman Nagel: Run it for me. Don't leave anything out. Give me the big picture.
Danny Ocean: Do you wanna...?
Rusty Ryan: [immediately] It's all yours.
Danny Ocean: Where should we start?
Rusty Ryan: [immediately] With the hotel
Danny Ocean: [about the Grecco Player Tracker] You mean it has a brain?
Roman Nagel: [awed] A hell of a brain... It not only thinks, it reasons.
Rusty Ryan: [after being told the giant drill is down] Where does that put us?
Basher Tarr: [in an English accent] Cattled!
Linus Caldwell: [as Abagail is standing behind the bar] Do you got wine back there?
Abigail Sponder: [seduced by his chemically engineered scent] I got everything you need back here.
Rusty Ryan: [Danny and the gang] I've gone through so many blueprints I can taste the ink through my fingers.
Terry Benedict: [to Danny, Rusty and Linus in Terry's office] number one: if any of you try to screw me, you'll be dead, I'll be looking in on the operation just to make sure, number two: I'm your senior partner which means last money in, first money out and you will double my investment
Reuben Tishkoff: [at construction site after business hours, with one of Bank's security guards walking slowly directly in front of him] You're going to throw me off the roof now?
Willy Bank: I don't want to.

I am planning to add driving lights to my R12RT. Motolight with the new caliper mounting came recommended. Are these lights as strong as the high intensity PIAA? I'd prefer PIAA but is there a R12RT mounting kit available for them??
I am planning to add driving lights to my R12RT. Motolight with the new caliper mounting came recommended. Are these lights as strong as the high intensity PIAA? I'd prefer PIAA but is there a R12RT mounting kit available for them??
Not sure about the strength as compared to the PIAA's but there is a kit available to the RT. The caliper bolts are replaced as well so do not substitute any bolt for these.
If I recall correctly, Motolights use a 35W halogen bulb.
I'm not sure which PIAAs you're comparing them to, but if you're looking for night time illumination, I'd bet the PIAAs are a lot brighter. I've got a pair of 520s on my GS and it's like daytime when they're on.
Dave Swider
Marin County, CA
Some bikes. Some with motors, some without.
Make motolights look like glow sticks. I've had them on both my RTs and wouldn't leave home without them.
PIAA 1100X located under the oil cooler on my 06 R1200RT. Cycle Gadgets mounts. I had to aim they down a lot as I was being flashed by on coming traffic often even in the day time.
The Motolight caliper mount is much more rugged than PIAA 1100's and do not interfere with the suspension travel.
A buddy I ride with has MotoLites on his bike - also bright - just liked the install of the PIAA's better.
Good Luck With Either!
PS: However, my garage looks NOTHING like this guy. Seriously good-looking shop, Man!
Yep anal about my garage, I wired mine up to a separate switch so I can run them on or off when desired
I had a follow up question regarding the PIAA 1100s on an RT. The Cycle gadget EZ mount is not recommended for non-ESA RTs and I noticed that PIAA sells an RT specific kit (74124) also...my question is does the PIAA kit have the same limitations regarding install on non-ESA bikes?
I'd really like to install the PIAAs below the oil cooler as pictured above but I'm leery of impeding any shock travel and causing pieces to bump. FYI I no longer have the OEM shocks installed but switched to Ohlins about a year ago.
Current: 07 Silver R1200RT
03 Silver F650 CS (sold)
KBasa, I am guessing you are asking for pics of the paint job on the motorcycle, attached.
AK: The Cycle Gadgets mounts, mount to both the oil cooler shroud and the inside of the fariring lip, yes you have to drill holes, not a problem EZ job just follow the instructions.
