The Human Mind
Programme 1 - Get Smart
The first programme in the series uncovers what happens in our minds when we learn, remember and have original ideas. It explores what we can do to improve our ability to learn and manipulate knowledge, and shows how eating fish oils may help boost our brain power.
Professor Robert Winston looks at how memory can be improved and how we can learn physical tasks more easily. He discovers what happens when we have those "eureka" moments of original thought - and how to have more of them.
We meet the fire chief who tapped into his intuitive powers and saved the lives of his fire crew and follow a trainee midwife in the run-up to her exams. Will she be able to remember the huge amount of information shell need to know to pass? More importantly, can she apply it to a real childbirth?
Programme 2 - Personality
Personality explores what it is that makes us who we are and uncovers the universal battle we face to master our emotions and control our behaviour.
Professor Robert Winston explores how our minds shape our personalities throughout our lives, and reveals how personality traits like extroversion and introversion develop. Find out how parents can affect the personalities of their children, why teenagers are so emotionally sensitive and what lies at the heart of characteristics like anger and moodswings in adults.
Discover what we can change about our personalities - and what we cant. And see a man successfully transform his personality to be more as hed like it to be.
Programme 3 - Making Friends
Why is a party one of the most demanding and complex situations the human mind ever has to deal with? This programme investigates the extraordinary way that our minds work to allow us to communicate with other people.
Professor Winston discovers how we recognise people, read their faces and bodies to understand what theyre thinking, and then charm them.
Find out how to tell whether a smile is genuine, what happens when people 'click' with one another, and how to spot when someone's lying.
We follow a young woman as she travels halfway across the world to confront her very own social obstacle course. Can she win over her New Zealand fiancs friends and family in the week before she gets married?

It's hard to believe that A/B testing didn't really exist before the turn of the 21st century. People would make their best guess and launch ads, websites, and other products without testing actual designs. Now you can use surveys and other A/B testing methodologies to create the most effective advertising before you start spending your precious media budget.
What is A/B Testing and Why You Need to Test Your Advertising
A/B testing – also know as split testing – is a way to test two ideas head-to-head to see what yields the best result. It's a way to put some analytical rigor behind testing hypotheses to determine which ad is the "winner" for your business.
In a nutshell, split testing allows you to show two identical audiences different versions of something at the same time. Imagine that you're running a print ad and you don't know whether it would be better to show an image of your product by itself or an image of someone using the product. You can use a split test to determine which version of the ad could driver better results.
How to Get Started
Let's continue to use the print ad example. Using a survey to A/B test will enable you to weed out versions of the ad that don't deliver against your KPIs (key performance indicators). As you create different versions of the ad to test, you'll want to think about the following:
- Define objectives: What are you trying to achieve with your ad? Once you know what you're trying to do – drive awareness, trial, sales, etc – you'll be able to layout your test plan.
- State your hypotheses: Now that you have goals, what do you THINK will perform best? And more importantly, will you be able to take action based on the results?
- Create a list of what you want to test: What do you want to test through a survey? Potential things to test include how the ad looks (color, photos, graphics), what the ad says (headlines, ad copy, call to action) and the overall design (ad concept, layout, number of visual elements).
How to Use Surveys to A/B Test
Want to learn how to test out a few concepts before you go live? There are a few important things to do to ensure accurate A/B test results. (Also, before you launch your survey, think about whether you should be running a survey or a focus group.) You can really win at A/B testing when you:
- Test one variable at a time. Let's say version A has an image of your product and version B has an image of someone using your product in context. When you are split testing an ad, make sure you are only measuring the impact of one change at a time, in this case the main image. If version A has a different image AND a different headline than version B, you won't know what if the headline or the image is causing the result.
- Show the ad to similar audiences. Show version A and version B to the same type of people to get accurate results. If you show version A to existing customers and version B to new customers, you may get skewed results. Ideally you would take your target market and split it evenly to view and rate the ad.
- Be patient. Advertising media costs can be a large percentage of your marketing budget. Take the time to test all of the variables you believe are important before you launch you ad.
Let's continue to think about A/B testing the main image in your ad. Here are some of the types of questions you can ask your split audiences about the ad.
- How appealing is this ad?
- How likely are you to take action because of this ad (e.g., learn more, visit your business)?
- How likely are you to buy this product?
- How appealing does the brand make this product?
- How is easy is it to understand the ad?
Remember, you can be showing different visual designs, copy, and layouts, as long as you test one thing at a time.
If you're running online advertising, you can also do A/B testing in the wild with live ads. The great thing about a survey, versus live A/B testing, is you can also ask WHY someone chose an ad. You can also get ideas through free response feedback you didn't originally consider.
Ready to get started? Once you start testing and seeing the impact effective advertising has on your business, you'll create an insatiable appetite to learn more and continually make improvements for your customers.

The animator and designer St. Francis Elevator Ride's delightful animated gifs read like the 21st century's response to the Pop Art masters of the 1950s; using vintage ad imagery, the artist marries retro aesthetics with modern technology. The 1950s moon landing even makes a subtle appearance! Using the seductive visual powers of color, form, and motion, he explores the endless allure of kitsch appliances, electronics, and other pop culture or commercial materials.
Like Richard Hamilton did with the iconic collage Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing?, the mixed-media artist focuses much of his attention on domestic consumption. A chipper 1950s nuclear family is shown to be enjoying a night of bonding over screens, and a woman with perfectly coiffed hair replaces her eyes with dollar signs. The human body and sex drive become fused with images we intellectually associate with the media; as with the work of Roy Lichtenstein, flesh is rendered in polka dots, and women's tears are represented in dramatic comic book-style shapes.
The body of work, dripping in a charming sort of irony, is made in a way that parallels its content. Like the Cleaver-esque family before the television, the viewer is seduced and transfixed by St. Francis Elevator Ride's images. The eye is manipulated by an expert understanding of color; opposite colors like green and magenta alternate and flash at break-neck speed, forcing a sort of optical illusion that commands attention (this technique was widely employed by Andy Warhol). As technology and media integrate seamlessly into our home lives, our sense of identity shifts in challenging new directions; from these charming gifs, we might draw insight into the changing definitions of personal agency, selfhood, and intimacy.

Tony Stewart vs. ESPN: It Could Be A Long TV Season
NOTE: The Daly Planet has received several emails about the specifics of this incident, and they are very different. If you have any information about this issue, or the video, please email us at email@example.com. Until the time where we receive the actual footage, or a complete description, we are deleting this story.
If you could help us with the specific ESPN show that this occurred on, or how this issue was raised, we certainly would appreciate it. What we do know, is that Tony Stewart is upset with something said on national TV about him. We also know the network in question is ESPN. The show appears to be either Pardon The Interruption or Around The Horn, both ESPN's daily afternoon talk shows.
The content is a joking remark Tony made after Chicagoland where he said he would spend the next week after winning "drinking a case of beer." Apparently, that was a joke to many, but not someone at ESPN who has a national platform to condemn Tony for being a "bad role model."
Perhaps, this same person could take a trip to the Victory Junction Gang Camp and ask around about Tony Stewart. That might just help them get a better perspective.
If the look he gave Dave Burns at Indy before he purposefully dropped the "BS bomb" live on ESPN is any indication, it just might be a long season for the network in Tony's world.
The Daly Planet welcomes comments from viewers. Simply click on the COMMENTS page or email email@example.com if you wish not to be published. Thanks again for stopping-by and leaving your opinion of our TV topic.

If I was ESPN, I wouldn't talk to Tony even if he DID win a race. Let him deal with the fallout from his sponsors. If you ask me, this a petty and childish squabble and Tony should know better. I-and Tony better-hope that NASCAR doesn't decide to get involved in this, because it won't end well for Tony.

It's plain and simple, the sports writers and producers on Around the Horn and PTI only care about and are knowledgable about 3 sports - football, basketball, and baseball. Instead of not discussing the sports they don't have anything intelligent to say about, they choose to bring those sports up for the purpose of making fun of them instead.
Any time Tim Cowlishaw mentions NASCAR or hockey on Around the Horn the other writers on the show scream "No NASCAR or hockey!" and then the host mutes him mid-sentence and says the same thing. On PTI NASCAR and hockey are only brought up in joking fashions like "Tony (Kornheiser), Tony Stewart won the Nextel Cup race at Chicago yesterday, are you excited? ha ha ha ha" or "Wilbon, the Anaheim Ducks won the Stanley Cup last night, did you have them in your office pool? ha ha ha ha"
Another ESPN program, Mike and Mike in the Morning, treats all sports with respect and does their "humor show" the right way. Since the hosts don't typically pay attention to NASCAR or hockey, they usually don't talk about them because they don't have anything intelligent to say about them. When those two sports are brought up on days when they are the "big sports story of the day" the hosts deal with them appropriately. After the Daytona 500 Mike Golic explained that he did watch a lot of the race, and while the early parts weren't that exciting to him, he found the finish to be very exciting. When the Ducks won the Stanley Cup they mentioned it as the top story of the show and while they said they didn't follow the finals very closely that didn't diminish the accomplishment in their minds and then moved on to talk about how they still respected the Stanley Cup as being the greatest championship trophy in all of sports, despite the drop in popularity hockey has suffered in recent years.
Around the Horn and PTI should take a lesson from Mike and Mike in the Morning. If you don't know anything about NASCAR or hockey then don't talk about those sports unless you absolutely have to, and when you do have to talk about them do your best to say something intelligent and move on. That would be much better than the current method of making fun of any sport that the panelists on the show don't know anything about.

It was definitely PTI that took him to task for his "going home and getting to the back of the cardboard" on a case of Schlitz. I actually found it to be funny. AND, he said it in the media center while in very obvious comfort with his surroundings. Not on live TV or anything!
PTI is just plain 'holier than thou' silliness. They jump all over Tony for drinking beer (even in excess) in the comfort of his own home but tread carefully with 'other' sports types because they tend to get involved in much more serious and delicate issues (to put it lightly).
It's all nonsense. The media (sports and "news") takes this whole role model thing way too far IMHO. They always use the "what about the children??!" horror to push their hype agenda.
Parents of this country need to be confident enough in their parenting skills to combat outside influences in their child's life with proper guidance and quit blaming others.
Most of ESPN's shows such as PTI could be on CNN or MSNBC at this point since it's less about sports and more about politics.
All that aside, I think Tony needs to get over himself a bit on this and realize that the ESPN race day crew has nothing to do with PTI et al. I'm a big Tony fan and I love when he speaks out but the 'take my ball and heading home' attitude is childish.
I bet ya he's already prejudiced against ESPN cuz they didn't hire Yocum ;-)
Which by the way I think is a mistake. Yocum is top notch in my book!

Tony is the last genuine personality left in NASCAR that is not plastic and is not afraid to speak his mind. He is not an +++ kisser and a driver I think all fans can relate to. He needs to tone it sown sometimes (on the airwaves) but he is the only driver who will speak his mind. NASCAR needs more drivers like Tony.

I heard Tony drop the "BS" after the race, and understood later why he did it.
Maybe, just maybe, he did it because he is mad at the Four Lettr for their overall disrespect of NASCAR, and not just him. It was his way of getting at the network.
If he made the beer comment when he did, obviously he is not concerned about that, but about his way of life being the butt of jokes at the Four Letter. Clearly he planned it, so he had given it some thought ahead of time.
This comment was made before: "The media (sports and "news") takes this whole role model thing way too far IMHO. They always use the "what about the children??!" horror to push their hype agenda."
You have also nailed it-this is so true in news, and less so in sports.
And Stricklinfan (Hut?!) is right about ATH and PTI...NASCAR always the subject of a joke.

You know, I was originally from the Washington DC area and heard the Tony Kornheiser radio show daily... T.K. Stack money he was called and the man had NO CLUE about sports and to him, NASCAR was a dumb redneck sport.. so, because Tony is beyond intelligent, although impulsive, he found out and basically called them out without giving them the publicity of saying theuir names. Smart man... The most dominant driver of our generation... Jeff Gordon is fantastic as much as that pains me to say, but he is a finesse driver... Tony is an "intimidator".

I agree that the whole "controversy" is BS. Why did ESPN feel the need to even bring up a remark that was off-the-cuff and only half-serious? Is it such riveting news that Tony likes beer? Is it so wrong that a man of legal drinking age perhaps wants to have some to celebrate his first victory of the season -- while on vacation? I don't see other professional athletes with numerous illegitimate children or drug problems getting this muck flak. Why not do some actual reporting on the sport and leave personal opinions/vendettas out of it.

While I like Tony Stewart, it's plainly obvious that he creates his own problems. After he won his first race this year, he refused to talk to ESPN because "ESPN blew the Denny Hamlin thing out of proportion." Really? Last time I checked, Tony made pretty disparaging remarks about his teammate after a race. And then, instead of letting it go because it was in the heat of the moment, Tony brought it up again and again. Finally, on Wednesday of that week, Hamlin fired back with his comments. As much as I like Tony, he can't keep a story alive and then expect a NASCAR show not to cover it.
As far as PTI goes, as with anything on a talk show, anything can be turned into a controversy. If Tony said he was going to drink an entire case of beer, it immediately becomes about binge drinking and setting examples, instead of it being an off the cuff remark just to be funny, just like Tony challenging David Poole to climb the fence, when it's perfectly obvious that David could probably never do it. The fence thanks him for that.
That being said, Tony did a pretty funny interview with Bill Simmons for Simmons's podcast, the "BS Report" this week. I'm sure Tony was informed before hand that it would be a comedic interview and I thought Tony played it off well. If you get a chance, listen to it.

If I acted at my job the way Tony Stewart does at his - I'D HAVE BEEN FIRED LONG AGO. Let's see - there was the camera incident, running Matt Kenseth off the track at Daytona, Tony's ongoing complaints about NASCAR, running in to Denny Hamlin - then blaming him for it, hitting Harvick at Indy, and I sure there's more. For the amount of money Tony "Joke" Stewart makes, he should be able to put up with NASCAR's rules.

If Tony has so many problems with NASCAR and its TV coverage, he could always quite and go back to the IRL. There at least he'll race half the amount of time and in front of half-filled stands.

The media that complains about Tony is the same media that believes Paris Hilton was wrongly sent to jail. If the reporters can't take a joke for what it is, then they should consider reporting from Iraq, where all interviews are serious.
And tony is right, if the reporters want to comment about the fence climbing, they should haul their a$$ up it once

What Tony does is, he keeps it interesting. Doesn't make any difference if you love Tony or if you hate him, he keeps everyone interested in what he has to say. Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards and most of the other drivers are about as exciting as watching concrete set up. Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick and Dale Jr. are the ones that keep people interested in NASCAR.

I don't care how much money Tony Stewart gives to VJGC or any charity - he's still a giant a$$ - literally and figuratively! Why is he the only NASCAR driver who has issues with the media? Maybe it's because he's a big fat baby who can't stand to lose and hates when the media throws his dumba$$ comments back into his face.

The show is question is Pardon the Interruption on July 16, 2007. So if you have video or a transcript from that day's show, send it to John and help him out.
Personally, I hate to see this apparent vendetta between Tony and ESPN play out in this manner. Then again, Tony is a very complex individual, so therefore the media doesn't know what to do with him. They insist that everything be in black and white and that's not how it works in the real world.

I did not see the show in question but have heard lots about it.
I like Tony but frankly think this issue is much ado about nothing. That said, Tony has annoyed me to no end with his hypocritical statements and actions ("somebody is gonna get killed with bump drafting" and then Tony punts Matt k at daytona among other things)
I appreciate Tony is one of the best drivers today but honestly, I think the issue with ESPN should be their PATHETIC RACING/NASCAR coverage.
I was trying to watch qualifying before the rain hit on Jr's car. They never tell you how somebody does (when Waltrip finished, they never said whether he made the race, they went to commercial and it was 10 minutes or so before they said Mikey MADE the race)
They said Jr was coming up NEXT and it was several minutes...they never replay qualifying during commercials so I went and watered the flowers in between putting foil on my head ( to touch up high lights)
They yap about showing duct tape demonstrations on a car model (WHILE JEFF BURTON IS QUALIFYING! HELLO) then go to the yapping idiot skirt du jour, Jamie, (AGAIN while Burton is qualifying) There is so much graphics and CRAP on my screen I need search warrant, binoculars and a compass to find the car. ..ok slight exaggeration...but they tiny text is useless since our tv's are not the size of a side of a bus.
I can tell you I WOULD NEVER do other things when SPEED had qualifying on.
It's just all sad..and unless you live in a city with good access to radio stations that carry PRN or MRN, or have DIRECT TV or some other premium sports package to view and watch NASCAR, you are screwed.
Good Lord, I NEVER thought I would be wishing to be hearing the blathering of DW who I can take in small doses and the butchering of the English language of McReynolds. But after last weeks race, I would take the stooges on FOX over this pathetic bunch on ESPN.
NOT TO MENTION they cut off the commentators in MID SENTENCE most every time they go do commercial
I could go on and on about how much I HATE ESPN but it's getting pointless at this time since TPTB care not one whit WHAT we the fans think.
Course, that doesn't mean I will stop adding my two pennies when I feel like it.

I have no issue with Tony drinking beer... apparently he is not the only one who drinks since all I ever hear is how JR is going to enjoy a cold one so why is it they picked on Tony about it? Enjoy your beer boys, you deserve it! If NASCAR was worried about beer drinking, they wouldn't let you bring it in to the races.
SO... Give me a break ESPN! Who cares if he drinks beer. How about focusing on some of the other sports where the participants actually are bad role models!

Ok, I just have to say to the Daly Planet that you might have some competition from sophiaz and her posts. I love the Daly Planet blogs but sophiaz had me cracking up at her comments here. Anyways, I'm a Tony fan that does get a bit annoyed at times with his behavior. Then again, I have a tendency to go from fun guy to jerk the next second, so I'm a hypocrite too.

I saw the PTI show in question. If I remember correctly, Tony Stewart said something about drinking a case of beer and referenced not being able to stand up or something along those lines. Tony K. and Mike W. were not questioning Tony S. drinking beer, but rather him insinuating he was going to be falling down drunk.

Typical stick and ball proponents bull. We've got a pro football player under federal indictment, a pro baseball player about to break a record in a storm of controversy because of chemical assistance, and a pro basketball referee on the carpet for betting on games he officiated, and they worry about a race driver having a beer on a week off.

If these guys are just "stick and ball" guys then why the hell is Tony Stewart so darn upset? Soemtimes you just gotta take comments from the people they come from. From what I just read in an AP article, Tony Stewart told David Amber of ESPN to leave before he answers anymore questions from the media. How long is this going to continue? How long can NASCAR allow this to continue?

Welcome to the microscope...Tony has a long history and its documented on tape. This is part of the territoy when you step into the unforgiving light. In the old days, writers/reporters would party with the winners & losers...
Have you watched Back in the Day and seen the lovely "Beauty" Queens who gave the winner a kiss in victory lane? No more kiss, no more beauty queen....Just watch The Last American Hero...The Last American Hero (1973) and check out Junior Johnson and his life story..

I think you should cut ESPN a break for their qualifying coverage. At least they didn't do something ridiculous like hype their Friday night coverage of the X-Games by conducting a live interview via satellite with X-Games star Jeremy McGrath while Bobby Labonte and Kenny Wallace were qualifying :)

Funny!! Wise guy :-)
Hell, I did not even know what Xtreme sports was or were..or is.
Course the real question about ESPN tomorrow will be "Will we ever find out why Jr's car was hit by a John Deere Gator?" I read only NASCAR officials drive them. Never heard of a car being accidentally hit by one of these but I am digressing.
Some wise guy on another board posted we would never find out who did it as they are on their way to the Witness Protection Program!! LOL.
But back to Tony, I know he can be a brat but he does have a point. ESPN LOVES to ask questions that are overly dramatic or to make people look back. Erik Kooties ring a bell?
The next time they/ESPN ask him about his behavior he should simply say
"Michael Vick" and walk away.
I swear I am not into conspiracy theories but it truly seems ESPN is trying to make a LAUGHING stock of NASCAR and are giggling all the way to the bank.

Tony needs to grow up. Nascar and the media need to quit babying him. Everytime he doesn't get his way he pitches his little hissy fit. And goes into a rant about how other drivers won't move over to let him pass. I for one am sick of this brat. Reminds me of screaming young'uns in a restaurant.

Tony Stewart is a bad role model?
I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry after reading that comment.
Look at all of the MLB, NFL, NBA players that have actually been busted performing "illegal" acts, and given a second, third, fourth, etc., chance. In this case, it was a grown man making a statement about how excited he was about winning a race. I believe there's a big difference.
Tony is just a true competitor that lets it all hang out. In a sport where Corporate America and the media are trying to "standardize" the players (in this case, drivers), there are a few that are still holding out.
Competition is what drives people. The pursuit to be the best is what it's all about.
When you get to the professional lever, sports aren't just games, they're a way of life. The participants aren't worried about what 10 year Timmy is going to think about their comments. They want to win, and if they don't, expect them to be upset. It's the job of Timmy's parents to explain what is really going on.

The Big Play
Opposing defenses have stymied the Packers' big play ability all season long by playing with a two-deep safety look known as "Cover 2". Despite facing the Bears, who play the Cover 2 defense more often and better than most, the Packers' offense found success on a number of long pass plays that this defense was designed to prevent.
On a single series midway through the second quarter alone, Aaron Rodgers connected with three different receivers for passing plays of 19 yards or more. The drive culminated with James Jones getting a step on his defender and hauling in a 29-yard touchdown pass for his first of three scores on the day.
Rodgers also found success against the usually stingy Bears defense for passes of 27, 31 and 14 yards in the second half. The Packers 278 passing and 113 rushing yards were enough for Rodgers and company to slay the Bears for the eighth time in their last ten meetings.
Each team had turnovers in the contest. Chicago's Jay Cutler threw an interception to rookie Casey Hayward late in the first half for Chicago's sole turnover while Green Bay had two fumbles in the second half.
The Packers cashed in Hayward's interception for a touchdown just before the first half ended, but the Bears were only able to convert two fumbles into field goals.
The Packers lost the turnover battle, but Green Bay's stout defense helped even out the point differential.
Credit the Packers' defense. Typically turnovers spell defeat, but when a team is able to hold an opponent to 0-for-9 on third-down and 0-for-1 on fourth-down, mistakes can be overcome.
The Receiving Corps
Greg Jennings continued to reacquaint himself with the offense and Jermichael Finley put together one of his best outings of the season, but the day belonged to Randall Cobb and James Jones.
Randall Cobb finished the day with six receptions for a game-high 115 receiving yards, but more importantly, he regularly created separation from the Bears' defenders. The second year receiver converted third-downs, and even a fourth-down, into first-downs on each of the three Packers' touchdown drives.
James Jones only hauled in five passes for 60 yards, but three of his grabs went for touchdowns. Jones leads the NFL with 12 touchdowns on the year and continues to outperform the three-year $9.4 million dollar contract he signed in the offseason.
While each member of the receiving group helped stretch the defense and open up routes in the passing game, Rodgers' laser-like precision made the offense go. He missed an occasional throw, but for most of the day, he put on a quarterbacking clinic.
Special Teams
Kicker Mason Crosby's struggles continued as he missed two more field goals on Sunday. Missing his first badly to the right and hitting the crossbar on his second attempt, any semblance of confidence the kicker once had is nowhere to be found.
Despite only connecting on 17-of-29 field goal attempts this year, head coach Mike McCarthy reiterated in his post-game press conference that Mason Crosby will remain the Packers kicker.
Crosby's kicking wasn't the only special teams gaffe. With the Packers leading 21-10 and less than eight minutes to play in the game, the Packers punt return team's trickery went badly wrong.
Punt returner Randall Cobb fielded a punt cleanly at his own 23-yard line before attempting to throw the ball back to first year receiver Jeremy Ross. Ross, who has not touched the football all season, was unable to haul in Cobb's lateral and Chicago recovered the fumble at the Green Bay 16-yard line.
Between the horrible timing and awful execution, the play will go down as one of Mike McCarthy's worst of his entire coaching tenure.
For as bad as most of the special teams were, the opposite was true for punter Tim Masthay. In addition to his great punts all afternoon, especially his final boot that pinned the Bears on their own 3-yard line, Masthay added a tackle in the game against Devin Hester, one of the game's best and most dynamic returners.
Up Next
The newly crowned NFC North Champions return to Green Bay to face the Tennessee Titans next Sunday. The Packers have two games left and remain in the hunt for the number two seed and the important bye week to rest players before starting postseason football.

SACRAMENTO — The De La Salle High football team brought Folsom's high-flying spread offense crashing back to earth Saturday night.
The Spartans blasted Folsom 49-15 in the California Interscholastic Federation Northern Regional Open Division final at Sacramento State to earn yet another trip to the Home Depot Center.
De La Salle (14-0) will go for its fourth consecutive Open Division state championship when it plays Centennial-Corona next Saturday in Carson.
Hyped as one of the biggest high school sporting events in Sacramento history, more than 10,000 fans packed Hornet Stadium to see Folsom (14-1) take on the Spartans. With much of the raucous crowd pulling for the underdogs from Folsom, De La Salle showed the locals why it has been the king of NorCal football for more than two decades.
Tiapepe Vitale rushed for 117 yards and three touchdowns, and a ferocious De La Salle pass rush made Folsom sophomore quarterback Jake Browning uncomfortable from the start. Led by senior defensive end Austin Hooper and USC-bound linebacker Michael Hutchings, the Spartans defense sacked Browning six times and tallied three interceptions.
"Our defense has played well all year, but to hold Folsom to (15 points) is quite a feat, I don't think anyone's come close to that," De La Salle coach Bob Ladouceur said. "We train them all year to be a state bowl contending team. We started out a little shaky, but by midseason they were playing well, we got healthy and took off. I like the way they're playing right now."
Hooper made an impact on both sides of the ball. He had two long receptions to set up short rushing scores in the first half and was responsible for three sacks on Browning.
"I told him he was playing like a beast tonight," Hutchings said about Hooper. "He was by far the best player on the field tonight and made the biggest impact. His sacks were all at huge times. He took a lot of pressure off our defense and made huge plays for our offense."
Though it was a long night for Folsom, Browning did achieve a major personal accomplishment. With 47 seconds left in the game and De La Salle up 49-7, Browning broke a California record for passing yards in a season, eclipsing the 5,185 mark set by former Folsom quarterback Tanner Trosin last year. Browning completed 38 of 64 passes for 282 yards, giving him 5,246 yards on the season.
He needed four touchdown passes to tie another state record, but the Spartans yielded only two.
"We figured if we held them to under 21, we'd win the game," De La Salle defensive coordinator Terry Eidson said.
The Spartans scored on their first two possessions, taking a 14-0 lead just five minutes into the game on rushing scores by Vitale and Das Tautalatasi, and they led 28-7 at half.
De La Salle also made the Bulldogs pay when they gambled.
Folsom went for it on fourth and 9 from its own 25 in the first quarter, but Sumner Houston sacked Browning, and the Spartans took over on downs. De La Salle went on to score when Chris Williams found Andrew Buckley alone in the end zone on fourth down for a 4-yard touchdown, making it 21-0 early in the second quarter.

Colton Dixon Eliminated on 'American Idol'
Colton Dixon was eliminated on tonight's episode (April 19) of 'American Idol.' It wasn't a shock, especially after hearing mentor Jimmy Iovine, who has about a billion years of record business experience, break down his performance earlier in the episode.
Dixon, Hollie Cavanagh and Elise Testone comprised the bottom three this week, and the judges had no power to save them, since they spent their save on Jessica Sanchez last week. So there was no need for the lowest vote getter to perform for a chance to remain with the show.
Dixon hadn't planned on pursuing 'Idol' dreams, but his sister, who didn't make it past the auditions, sucked him into the process and he went deep and far. Even though his song choices were wrong, the spiky-haired rocker is not going to fade into obscurity. We'll see him again soon, since he has such a current look and sound. He just needs a little A+R guidance, and that can't be properly administered during the confined space of a reality show. All in due time.
He didn't sing for the save but he did get to perform on the 'Idol' stage one final time, which he did from his knees. He moved viewers with his reprisal of Lifehouse's 'Everything,' which he sang a few weeks back.
Now there are six, with the finale and crowning of the Season 11 winner creeping up on us.

The Distinguished Lecture Series in Sports Medicine at Hope College will complete its 2007-08 season with a presentation on high-ankle sprains.
Dr. Scott Trumble, an orthopedic surgeon and Hope graduate, will present "Advances in the Management of Syndesmotic Ankle Injuries in Athletes" on Monday, April 21, at 7 p.m. in the Maas Center.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
According to Trumble, syndesmotic, or high-ankle, sprains in athletes are often under-diagnosed and can lead to long-term problems of pain and instability. He will stress considerations in making an accurate diagnosis, particularly to distinguish the injuries from more common lateral ankle sprains and the goals of treatment.
Trumble, who is a 1990 Hope graduate, practices with OSMC. Formerly Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, OSMC is a center for comprehensive musculoskeletal diagnosis, surgery and therapy care. An athletic training student during his undergraduate years at Hope College, Trumble attended Wayne State University School of Medicine. He completed his orthopedic residency there and went on to complete a foot and ankle fellowship at the highly regarded Portland (Maine) Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Center.
Additional information about the Distinguished Lecture Series in Sports Medicine may be found online at:
The MaasCenter is located at 264 Columbia Ave., on Columbia at 11th Street.

BNP Paribas on Thursday trimmed its outlook on gold prices in 2013, forecasting the metal's price will enter a downtrend after new record highs are reached next year.
The bank now expects gold to average $1,865 a troy ounce in 2013, down 1.8% from its previous forecast.
"Our downward revision is largely due to mark-to-market considerations rather than a change in our fundamental view," said BNP Paribas analyst Anne-Laure Tremblay. "Market sentiment towards gold has been much more uncertain in 2012 than was the case in previous years. Yet, we expect gold to achieve a new record high in 2013 due to further monetary easing, less tail risk related to a breakup of the euro zone and ongoing support from physical demand," she added.
Once gold peaks in 2013, however, its price is expected to enter a period of gradual decline as the market begins to anticipate the withdrawal of monetary easing measures in line with improving economic growth, said Ms. Tremblay.
In 2014, the bank sees gold averaging $1,780/oz. This would be the first annual decline in the metal's price in 14 years.
"The extent of the decline will, however, be limited as gold will continue to attract investor flows thanks to its diversification and safe haven properties," Ms. Tremblay added.
At 1238 GMT, spot gold was trading at $1,689.11/oz in Europe. The yellow metal hit a record high last year, rising to around $1,920/oz.
BNP Paribas' downgrade follows a similar move by Goldman Sachs on Wednesday. Goldman Sachs lowered its three-month gold forecast by 0.8% to $1,825 a troy ounce, its six-month forecast by 7.0% to $1,805/oz and its 12-month forecast by 7.2% to $1,800/oz. It also introduced a 2014 gold price forecast of $1,750/oz. In justifying its revisions, Goldman Sachs cited growing downside risks to the metal's price amid gradually improving economic growth.

A Raynham man is being charged with three counts of indecent assault after allegations emerged that he improperly touched several teenage girls.
Alfred Mazeiko, 54, of 260 Temi Road, is under investigation by the Foxboro Police Department for three alleged sexual assaults. According to the Wrentham District Court clerk magistrate's office, Mazeiko is being charged with two counts of assault and battery, three counts of indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or older and attempting to commit a crime.
Mazeiko's initial court date was July 25, but it was continued until Aug. 4, and then again until Aug. 22.
Mazeiko is the owner of The Commons Neighborhood Eatery, a breakfast and brunch spot at 20 Central St. in Foxboro. He also owns the Penalty Box Café at the Foxboro Sports Center at 10 Belcher Road.
Easton-based lawyer Josh Werner said that his client is innocent and will plead as such when he is arraigned later this month.
"I'm not ultimately not going to try the facts with you guys (the press), but the reality of the situation is that I have a gentlemen whose been an outstanding member of the community for his entire life," Werner said. "He's devastated by the allegations being made against him. He's anxiously looking forward to the opportunity to have his name cleared through the appropriate use of the legal system. They will try this matter and have him exonerated."

Jim Beam's Devil's Cut is the latest release from the Bourbon Behemoth from Clermont, KY. It's made from pretty interesting process called "barrel sweating". Once the barrels of whiskey are dumped, they are filled with a proportion of water and agitated (rolled, moved) in the heat to bring out the "trapped" whiskey that's been slumbering deep in the wood.
While I personally haven't seen this process in action, I am told that it would surprise anyone just how much liquid is left in the wood itself. Once the process concludes, this woodier juice is reintroduced to 6 year old base Jim Beam. The result is Devil's Cut.
And what about that name? Well, that's a clever play on the "Angel's Share", which is a term referring to the whiskey that is lost to evaporation during the aging process. The amount lost to the angels can be quite significant over a 4, 8, 12, etc. period of time. The folks at Beam have apparently figured out how to take the Devil's Cut as well.
Jim Beam Devil's Cut, 45% abv (90 Proof), $24
Color: Lighter Amber (A bit lighter than I would have expected)
Nose: Sweet, candy shop nose of brown sugar, toffee, big vanilla, and ripe banana before oak and wood spices pick up steam. It's certainly sweeter than the devilish name suggests.
Palate: Pretty straight forward and lacking complexity, but with bold flavor. Caramel sweetness and vanilla dominate the front palate with oak and spices (cinnamon, pepper, and nutmeg) emerging firmly from mid palate through finish.
Finish: The finish has it's own zip code – it's long and lingers forever. This, for me, is where I think their process for creating this whiskey makes it's presence felt most. There's loads of wood, barrel tannin, and spice influence backed with caramel and corn.
Overall: Devil's Cut starts off innocent and sweetly enough, but quickly the spice and wood emerges. It's understandable considering the process I noted in the introduction above. It's not a very complex whiskey, but frankly I found it quite interesting. It's a spicy bourbon for the folks that make some fairly sweet and mellow juice for the most part. I applaud the effort.

DirectTV + Dish Network Rates Are About to Go Up
If you're a DirecTV or Dish Network subscriber, the two monster satellite TV companies want to wish you a Merry Christmas ... by raising the cost of your bill.
Both companies confirmed they are raising the rates of certain channel packages, as well as monthly service fees. The move is in response to an ever-increasing number of people choosing to cancel their cable or satellite subscriptions and opting for streaming services, such as Netflix and Hulu Plus.
DirecTV and Dish Network will both be raising their monthly service fees between $2 and $5.
As for the television packages, both are hiking rates, but Dish Network subscribers will surely be angrier than DirecTV customers.
DirecTV's base "entertainment" package is going up $3 from $55 to $58 and its top package up $5 from $125 to $130. DirecTV's average increase is 4.4% this year, compared to 3.2% from last year.
As for Dish Network, its prices will increase on average of 5.5% after the company imposed massive hikes early in 2013. Its base package and "America's Choice 120+" plan will be the same, but its other packages will go up between $3 and $5 per month.
Dish Network's changes are set to take effect Jan. 17, while DirecTV will impose its new prices in February. The new prices won't take effect for current subscribers until their current contracts are expired.

Mass Aggie is how it all started
Agriculture has been an essential part of the University of Massachusetts since the very beginning. In fact, agricultural studies were the very beginning.
The university started out, in 1863, as Massachusetts Agricultural College, part of a nationwide effort to establish colleges specializing in agriculture and engineering. Mass Aggie, as it was called, became Massachusetts State College in 1931, which in turn became the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1947.
Even as the school began to widen its curriculum, agriculture remained part of its mission.
The Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station began in 1882 to develop the science of agriculture. In 1914, the extension service was launched, offering farming advice and education to the community. The Stockbridge School, founded in 1917, offers associate and bachelor's degrees in some of the more practical aspects of agriculture.
Today, the university's agriculture researchers work on as many as 40 diverse projects at any given time, says Steven Goodwin, dean of the College of Natural Sciences. Current work includes investigations into the qualities of omega fatty acids and analysis of the competing land needs of agriculture and solar energy.
Though Massachusetts may be decidedly less agrarian than it once was, UMass's agriculture programs, Goodwin says, are in a moment of growth. With so much focus these days on local food and sustainability, the university is seeing a new surge in students eager to study agriculture and food systems, and these programs are hopefully becoming more central to the school's identity,
he adds.
"We're trying to make it just an integral part of what the university's all about,'' Goodwin says.

|Program Description
|Political science is the systematic study of polities, power relationships and government. Political science is in one sense an ancient discipline: Aristotle called it the "queen of the sciences." Yet the focus for much of today's political science was developed in the past sixty years. Scientific observations have now joined older philosophical traditions. Modern political science examines politics in the United States, countries and regions of the world, and in international relations. It explains how and why public decisions are made. Political science majors can qualify for a wide variety of careers in public and private sector organizations, including business, law, government, journalism, international organizations and finance, political campaigns, interest groups and secondary and college teaching. The study of public affairs and government is essential for developing effective citizenship. This training prepares one for professional or volunteer involvement in community organizations, issue movements, electoral politics, and other activities in the public arena.

WASHINGTON — As soon as Christine O'Donnell won the Republican Senate primary in Delaware, the pundits pretty much wrote her off as unelectable in November.
O'Donnell is too conservative, too "tea party," for a Democratic-leaning state like Delaware, they said. She has a sketchy financial past, including a mortgage default and allegations of unpaid loans and taxes. She reported just $5,800 in earned income between March 2009 and July 2010, according to a Senate financial disclosure form. Her professional background is also eyebrow-raising, at least outside conservative circles. During the 1990s, she worked for a pro-abstinence group and equated masturbation with adultery.
But remember: She has now proven she can win a race. She defeated Rep. Mike Castle (R) – as seasoned a politician as they come, well-known and well-liked statewide.
Yes, it was the Republican primary in a state where the GOP has many fewer registrants than the Democrats. In the general election on Nov. 2, the tilted playing field and more typical candidate profile of the Democratic nominee, New Castle County executive Chris Coons, makes him the heavy favorite to win Vice President Biden's old Senate seat.
But Coons and the Democrats dismiss O'Donnell at their peril, say Delaware political observers.
"There's an assumption that [O'Donnell's] no more viable as a candidate than she was in the primary contest with Castle, and look where that ended up," writes Joseph Pika, a political scientist at the University of Delaware in Newark, in an e-mail. "By all conventional political measures, she should not win, but this is not a conventional political year. Several conditions had to break her way to win the primary and I, among others, did not think they would all break her way – but they did."
"Democrats could be overconfident," he continues. "Democrats could be overaggressive – she could quickly become a more sympathetic candidate if everyone seems to pile on. If Democrats seem to practice politics as usual – be seen as committing character assassination, for example – they could confirm the basic appeal she has of challenging the establishment and 'politics as usual.' "
But, Pika notes, O'Donnell is untested in a traditional campaign involving close scrutiny and sustained give and take. "Her qualifications for office are sketchy, at best, and the extra time [six weeks] will probably stress the questions about her background," he writes. "She ran an insurgent's campaign based largely on emotion and volunteers. That might be sufficient in Delaware [for victory] but probably not."
Wilmington, Del., broadcaster Allan Loudell also suggests that Democrats need to take O'Donnell seriously heading into November, despite the political handicappers' dismissal of her chances.
"She's become a much more polished candidate," writes Allan Loudell of WDEL-AM radio on his blog. "If you throw the kitchen-sink at her (as the Castle campaign and the Republican establishment did), O'Donnell will accuse you of the 'politics of destruction.' "
Mr. Loudell notes that that phrase is a throwback to Hillary Rodham Clinton (from her days as first lady) and, he writes, it suggests that "while O'Donnell will not betray her followers by trying to shift her ideological views, she WILL make a subtle play for the votes of women beyond her base. If the anti-O'Donnell forces pile on, she'll play victim. You watch."
In a CNN interview the day before Tuesday's primary, O'Donnell spoke positively of Clinton "in the context of female solidarity and empowerment," Loudell writes. "A deft move."
The tea party movement boasts many high-profile women, including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R) of Minnesota, and Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle. And even though the GOP boasts fewer female candidates for congressional and gubernatorial seats than the Democrats, the imbalance is smaller than usual, and so 2010 has the feel of a "GOP Year of the Woman." Ms. Angle's continuing competitiveness against Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D) of Nevada, even after being ridiculed nationally for her unorthodox views, provides more evidence that O'Donnell cannot be dismissed out of hand.
Of course, Nevada is more of a swing state than Delaware, and Senator Reid is deeply unpopular at home, but there's already ample evidence that this is an unusual year. Just ask Sen. Scott Brown (R) of Massachusetts.

www.autoeroticar.com is an online website in Grand Theft Auto IV; the official website of the Auto Eroticar dealership. The site may be loosely based off of Auto-Trader.com. The name of the website and the company it represents come from autoerotica, meaning to get sexual pleasure from one's self i.e masturbation. In keeping with this trend, the website uses many sexual innuendos and appears to appeal to the extremely vain of the the car buying public.
The website is available through the homepage website www.eyefind.info, under "Autos".
The website features a list of used automobiles, mostly luxury and exotic, with either prices or phone numbers underneath their pictures. However, none of these cars can actually be purchased by the player, and only one of the two phone number vehicles (the pink Feltzer) can actually be called, but not until a certain mission. Contrary to many people's beliefs, Brucie Kibbutz is not affiliated with the AutoEroticar website, although he does have an advert there for his website.
According to the website:
AutoEroticar was set up in 2007 to cater to a very special market; people who are smart enough to realize the important connection between sexual drive and the car you drive.
The theme of vanity is continued with a list of personal qualities of an AutoEroticar customer:
- You shave with the Excelsior Extreme 9 razor.
- You consume only the most heart-palpitating energy drinks.
- You don't trust anything that wasn't created today for the world of tomorrow because you're always in the driving seat.
- Everything you do says 'sleep with me' and you know your car should be no different.
- We know that when your hand's on that stick, anything could happen - let's make it happen together.
Car profiles

In An Object of Beauty, author Steve Martin introduces readers to the rarified world of art dealers and art collectors. As a person who is more likely to collect fez-wearing chimps than fine art, I am not overly conversant with art galleries, auction houses or the quirks of rich collectors. Here we find Lacey, a young woman who will use any means to get what she wants, working in the lower echelons at Sotheby's. As she rises through the ranks we learn about a variety of artists and styles as well as the behind-the-scenes operations of art auctions. Lacey is not a likeable character, but her careless attitude towards others is more self-centered than malicious. Eventually opening her own gallery, Lacey begins to focus on living artists, and thus Martin introduces the many unusual faces of contemporary art.
The story is narrated by an acquaintance of Lacey's and he presents her adventures as a cautionary tale. We learn that morally questionable business practices can stall a career (when the perp is caught), that the art world is at the mercy of international economics, and that major events such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks impact business and economics.
Martin's writing style is delicate and genteel and the narrator creates just the right degree of tension to make the reader wonder what's going to happen next.
As a result of my narrow focus on fez/chimp related art, many questions arose as I read Martin's novel. Here are a few of those questions along with some Everett Public Library holdings that might offer answers.
1) What goes on in the lives of art dealers?
- Seven Days in the Art World
- The Art of the Steal: Inside the Sotheby's – Christie's Auction House Scandal
- Zoe Dusanne: An Art Dealer who Made a Difference
- The Girl with the Gallery: Edith Gregor Halpert and the Making of the Modern Art Market
2) Martin paints art collectors as a rather idiosyncratic bunch. How much truth is there in this portrayal?
- The Impossible Collection: The 100 Most Coveted Artworks of the Modern Era
- At Home with Art: How Art Loves Live with and Care for their Treasures
- Self-Taught & Outsider Art: The Anthony Petullo Collection
3) Collectors might see something in a piece of art that I cannot see. How do I learn to better appreciate art?
- Cave paintings to Picasso: The Inside Scoop on 50 Art Masterpieces
- More than Meets the Eye: Seeing Art with All Five Senses
- Art for Dummies
- How to Visit a Museum
4) After primarily selling works of dead European artists, Lacey becomes interested in living American artists. What are some of the trends and techniques in American art and who are the artists who have been successful?
- The American Century: Art and Culture, 1900-1950
- American Expessionism: Art and Social Change, 1920-1950
- Sister Wendy's American Collection
5) "What is art?" is an all-encompassing philosophical quandary. A simpler version of this question is, "Why is modern art considered to be art?" Paint splatters, found objects and installations where the viewer is part of the artwork have become commonplace means of expression. How can one appreciate such unconventional works?
- In the Time of Warhol: The Development of Contemporary Art
- 50 Modern Artists you Should Know
- Revisionaries: A Decade of Art in Tokion
- No. 1: First Works by 362 Artists
- Pop Art
- Lives of the Artists
Gotta go, so much more to learn!

Confederate Congress to resume prisoner exchanges
On this day in 1865, the Confederate Congress agrees to continue prisoner exchanges, opening a process that had operated only sporadically for three years.
In the first year of the Civil War, prisoner exchanges were conducted primarily between field generals on an ad hoc basis. The Union was reluctant to enter any formal agreements, fearing that it would legitimize the Confederate government. But the issue became more important as the campaigns escalated in 1862. In July 1862, Union General John Dix and Confederate General Daniel H. Hill reached an agreement inwhich each soldier was assigned a value according to rank. For example, one privatewas worth another private; corporals and sergeants were worth two privates; andlieutenants were worth three privates. A commanding general was worth 60 privates. Under this system, thousands of soldiers were exchanged rather than languishing in prisons like those in Andersonville, Georgia, or Elmira, New York.
The system was really a gentlemen's agreement, relying on the trust of each side.It broke down in 1862 when Confederates refused to exchange black Union soldiers. From 1862 to 1865, prisoner exchanges were rare. When they did happen, it was usually because two local commanders came to a workable agreement. The result of the breakdown was the swelling of prisoner-of-war camps in both the North and South. The most notorious of all the camps was Andersonville, where one-third of the approximately 46,000 Union troops incarcerated died of disease, exposure, or starvation.
Though the prisoner exchanges resumed in January 1865, the end of the war was so close that it did not make much difference.

Zinna v. Cook, No. 06-1733, 2010 WL 3604386 (D. Colo. September 7, 2010)
Plaintiff sued for violation of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) claiming that defendants intercepted his email messages and posted them to a website called ColoradoWackoExposed.com. Defendants moved for summary judgment. The court granted the motion.
It found that although similarities between messages and website content suggested that emails had been intercepted, there was no evidence showing the interception was "contemporaneous" with the messages' transmission. (Several federal circuits require such contemporaneity. But see the Seventh Circuit's recent opinion in U.S. v. Szymuszkiewicz for a different take.)
The court also held there was insufficient evidence to show that defendants knew the information posted on the website came about via any unlawful interception. The plaintiff's assertions that defendants had worked with a non-party wiretapper failed to convince the court of this knowledge.

NEWPORT COAST — Managing Director Giuseppe Lama still has the receipt from the Resort at Pelican Hill's very first customer and purchase: an early-morning cappuccino.
Pelican Hill, owned by the Irvine Co., runs an occupancy rate of about 70% year to year, with highs spiking up to 90% in the summer months, but the travertine marble halls were quiet and the valet empty Nov. 26, 2008, when the resort first opened.
"The vision hasn't changed or altered," Lama said of the 504-acre "Tuscan Village" resort which took three years of construction and opened during the peak of the recession. "We're continuously moving forward because we got the fundamentals right."
Lama and Ralph Grippo, Irvine Co. president of resort properties, claim the resort's success comes from the standard formula in the luxury hospitality industry of focusing on customer service and building relationships.
Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, GolfWorld, Golf Magazine, Andrew Harper's Hideaway Report and others have rated the resort as among the top in the nation. The American Automobile Assn. ranked the resort as a Five Diamond property for 2010, 2011 and 2012.
"I understand quality construction and quality amenities," said Garrett Calacci, president of Newport Beach-based builder Waterpointe Homes. "I understand the quality in homes I build, so as a professional, I can tell that the features [Irvine Co. Chairman Donald Bren] put in this hotel are over the top."
Calacci was among the resort's earliest guests. When he sold his home earlier this year, he moved into the resort rather than buy another property.
Although friends tease the bachelor that he'll have to move out of his two-bedroom Pelican Hill villa eventually, he said that for now the resort fits his busy lifestyle.
"There's just something about driving under that car path bridge every night when I come home," Calacci said, in reference to the structure spanning South Pelican Hill Road. "It feels like you're a world away."
However, the bulk of the resort's guests come from within a two-hour drive of Newport Coast.
About 60% of them are Southern California locals, with the remaining split between out-of-state and international guests, Grippo said.
Designed by Irvine Co. officials to be the "jewel on the crown" of the Irvine Ranch — the 93,000-acre land parcel, of which more than half is permanently preserved open space — the resort was designed to stand for the next 100 years, Grippo said.
The resort's design takes after the work of 16th century architect Andrea Palladio, whose crisp lines and elegant proportions can be seen across the Irvine Co. portfolio and surrounding residential developments in Newport Coast.
"Part of what we've done as a company is look at the entire Irvine Ranch and build out, as a master plan, this part of the world," Grippo said. "Rather than build just anything here, we took the time to think of what would be the most important to build here. Our view as a company is long term in everything we do."

George Carrington
George is a member of the Athletic Hall of Fame. His citation is copied below:
In a long line of outstanding scholar-athletes that matriculated south from Waterbury, Connecticut, to help Washington College continue its outstanding record in basketball was "Gimp" Carrington.
Known for the special shuffling of his feet before letting fly a deadly two-hand "set-shot," Carrington captained the 1928-29 team that was 17-1 and captured the Maryland intercollegiate crown. It capped a four-year forward career in the cage sport under the late great Coach J. Thomas Kibler.
He also played two years of football as a guard.
"Gimp" excelled in the classroom. He was class valedictorian, received the Alumni Medal in 1927, accumulated the highest academic average and was named the best all-around student in 1929. He served as president of the senior class.
He dedicated himself to education after college, serving as a teacher, coach, as a high school principal, a county supervisor and eventually as assistant superintendent of the Somerset County, (MD) school system.
Washington College's Alumni Association presented him its highest honor – the Alumni Citation.
He represented his College in the highest order and brought it honor through his contributions to education in the State of Maryland.

I'll Show You Those in Troubles Reign, Losing a Mite, a Mountain Gain.
It's so easy to get caught up in the story, for outcomes to determine identity, and for causes and conditions to define the apparent substance of our persona. Consciousness likes this; consciousness delights in it. Remember that whatever conditioning seems to be present and whatever it is that is perceived, it is a phantom, just a thought, mere unreconstituted energy appearing as what is. Any conceptualising of it is simply the story of it. What is, is what is; this, just as it is, is what you've been looking for all your life. You never lost it; you never were what you thought you were; you are it.
The goals, the grief, the happiness, the bliss, the murderous intentions - they are not what you are. It may seem a wrench to contemplate the death of the persona as what you ultimately are, but persona still comes up. All the apparent causes and conditions still come up, or seem to. If the story of what you are and how that story turns out is not the thing that "what you are" depends upon, the story can, at last, just be enjoyed, relished, resisted, everything. You are not enjoying it, that personality you seem to think you are - the lattice of thought and the myriad feelings you think you are, even the thought that thinks it is what you are - is not enjoying it. It is enjoyed, by itself. Relishment relishes itself, and life simply lives.
There is a quality to being. It seems that quality of existence at its most essential is the specialness and singularity we associate with our selves. Our selves, our persona, our likes and dislikes, prejudices and inclinations, body shape and health, belief systems and emotional baggage are the ever-changing extras we take to be who we are. But that essential quality - that feeling of "I am me" that we have all the time, that we feel when we look into the mirror in the morning, that me-ness, that specialness, that abiding sense of being here now is what all sentient beings feel. We are one, we are united, we are the same thing. We are what life empties into. We are the unchanging what-it-is that sees itself, for the sake of seeing it. We are all there is. Even the discontent is what-it-is. Even the idea that this is not enough is it. It is undeniably always here, and always now.
This clip embodies the perfect illustration of how iffy perception of the "real world" is: the amazing, achingly funny Father Ted tries to explain perspective to Dougal.

I had strong murderous intentions from the very get-go this morning, troublingly. Thank you, Suzanne, for helping me to accept such passionate urges for what they are.

Hi Mary, thanks for stopping by, I watched about two minutes of the JF video where he and that guy get the giggles and I honestly found it annoying. Forgive the nonexistent apparent conditioning. I get the giggles with my kids all the time.

Good job then i didn't need to sit cross legged and explain it to him/her! I am also all the other sentient creatures in slaughterhouses from which i have never once eaten any products (ok maybe once or twice but more to break what seemed to becoming self-righteous dogma than 'good god, that looks tasty!'). I try to be more relaxed now and reserve judgement, although i still think it's unnecessary and sad, particularly factory farming. Wasps on the other hand, deserve everything they get (joke).

The "outer" world has an influence on our reaction to it. Otherwise we could walk in the freezing rain with no clothes. It would be more than wonderful if all reality were is our own production of it.
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Mind only is half the equation. Trying to figure out the whole equation is a waste of precious time. To be sure, surety is our worst enemy. :)

Hey Chana, nothing is ever wasted. Nothing can ever be wasted. Relatively, in the film of life, one of the plotlines may well be about time wasted; but the characters on the screen simply live out the plots, and cannot choose how to spend their time.

Suzanne says " nothing is ever wasted. Nothing can ever be wasted. Relatively, in the film of life, one of the plotlines may well be about time wasted; but the characters on the screen simply live out the plots, and cannot choose how to spend their time."
Yes, this is true that in reality nothing is wasted....even decaying sentient beings feed mother earth and the multitude of creatures that roam the earth. No thought or feeling is wasted, because it is all that can be, that this mysterious universe has produced. What a truly excellent viewpoint.
Now if i could only thread the filmstrip into the projector and the movie run smoothly without it breaking in the middle of the story! :)
Love your writing!

Here's another way to enjoy the tale of JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater, who allegedly cursed out passengers, activated the jet's emergency chute and slid away with two beers Monday after after a passenger refused to apologize for accidentally hitting him on the head with a bag. Three problems with the animation:
- It shows a Boeing 747, which JetBlue doesn't fly (the flight used an Embraer 190, shown below);
- Slater reportedly activated the chute before grabbing the beer;
- He reportedly grabbed two beers, not one.
Still, it's fun.

Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee last week, an operation that is keeping him on the sideline during this week's minicamp.
The minicamp marks the end of the Vikings' offseason schedule and the team will be off until the start of training camp after Thursday's practice. Greenway couldn't give a 100 percent guarantee that he'd be on the field for the first practice of training camp, but he did say that any absence will have nothing to do with surgery he had in June to avoid the possibility of his meniscus causing him more problems when the regular season is right around the corner.
"There will be no doubt in my mind unless I get in a car accident or something. From the knee perspective, it'll be 100 percent, good to go," Greenway said, via 1500ESPN.com. "I didn't want to be that guy in training camp or Week 1 saying, 'Oh, I've got to miss two.' That's not my mentality. I'd rather, unfortunately, miss these practices in order to get ready for the season. Just kind of felt like it was the right thing to do."
We'd agree with that assessment. Greenway's a vital part of the Vikings defense and the minicamp time is relatively insignificant to a player who hasn't missed a game in the last six seasons.
