This is the most vicious of diseases and it can affect anyone. What I am learning is, the MORE I learn, the more I receive information, support and include others in my life to help me cope, the better off it will hopefully make the final years of my father's life a whole lot easier.
Our weather lately has been exceptional...I can not ever remember such high temperatures in the month of March. This is truly a freak of nature, but I'm loving it!! Sunday's run was fantastic as I joined in with a group of ladies that are preparing for the 30k Around the Bay race this coming weekend. It is a really fun race that takes you through many neighbourhoods, a portion takes you along the shores of Lake Ontario and then into a beautiful subdivision of stellar homes. You run past and through several cemeteries and then up a huge honking hill and run back towards Copps Coliseum. You might even run into this guy!
|Jen, the Grim Reaper and me
Monday night was my first clinic night in quite a long time. It is just a 10k clinic but it was really fun to meet some new runner's who are so excited to "do their first 10k". Sort of made me realise how I was a little jaded in my running career. I think their energy will give me the lift I need in other portions of my life. We assembled for the clinic and it is a really large group because most of them are signed up for their first 10k race at the Ottawa Race Weekend. I'm so use to doing long distances with pace groups and I'm soooo use to doing a slower pace instead of busting out at full speed, that when we were getting ready to start our first 6k group run, I was a little discombobulated that everyone just takes off like mad fiends! How freaking exciting is that? Off they go...what a concept!
A few of the more "nervous to do that distance" people sort of hung with me as I explained to them, if you can't hold a conversation because you're out of breathe it means you are running too fast. I also explained that the further we get into the 6k run, they will see that some people are totally spent and will have to walk the rest of the way. Well, you know what?...we ran the whole way and could talk and had a great time! We even passed people!! They were so excited to find out that they didn't have to bust a gut at the beginning of the clinic...they could work on their cardio, breathing techniques, gain confidence, pass people and when it comes to race day...then they can leave a lung on the pavement. Some of the new runner's hugged me when they finished their first ever 6k, overall, I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with this group!!
Life's fun if you don't weaken,

Yeah it started on that rush, the guy went around the back of the net and Nabby looked like he panicked to cover one side and the pass came to the other. But one good thing, is thornton is getting much more time and space to work, and that's always good for the Sharks. Much more of a free flowing game. The chances will eventually go in. If not, hat's off to Turco.

For Immediate Release, December 17, 2009
Contact: Marc Fink, Center for Biological Diversity, (218) 525-3884
After Three Failed Attempts, Forest Service Embarks on Fourth Drafting of
National Planning Rules That Could Have Major Impact on Wildlife
More Than 100 Groups Urge Independent Scientific Input
WASHINGTON— The U.S. Forest Service today announced its intent to develop new regulations to implement the National Forest Management Act of 1976, a rule that will govern all regional forest plans and site-specific projects – such as timber sales, livestock grazing, and road construction – throughout the entire 193-million-acre national forest system. Federal courts ruled against the agency's attempts in 2000, 2005, and 2008 to revise its original 1982 rule.
Conservationists challenged the earlier rules because they weakened mandatory protections provided by the 1982 rule, including requirements to safeguard fish and wildlife species and enforceable management standards. The Forest Service's unlawful argument, throughout the near decade of litigation over these rules, has been that national regulations have no impact on the environment because they only establish procedures for later decisions.
Today's announcement by the agency initiates a process to develop a fourth rule and clarifies the agency's choice, in the interim, to rely on the transition provision of the 2000 rule. Yesterday the Center for Biological Diversity and more than 100 other organizations sent a letter to the Forest Service urging it to convene an independent committee of scientists to provide scientific oversight over the agency's development of new planning regulations.
"Climate disruption demands that the Forest Service stop trying to weasel out from under laws and embrace a new era of scientifically sound planning, ecosystem protection, and public accountability," said Marc Fink, an attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity who helped to represent the conservation groups in the earlier cases. "Doing so will require real conservation leadership from the Obama administration."
The Forest Service will initiate a 60-day public comment period on its new planning effort upon publication of a notice in the Federal Register on Friday, December 18. The new rule will likely take a minimum of two years to complete, and during the interim, the Forest Service is only required to "consider" the best available science for proposed site-specific projects. "During this transition period, which has now been going on for close to a decade, the Forest Service is falling far short of its statutory duty to provide for the diversity of fish and wildlife species on our national forests," said Fink.

With the 2008 Summer Olympics just around the corner, the Chinese government has started their plan to ban one million vehicles from the streets of Beijing. The initiative got underway this week with the intention to reduce the city's air pollution in time for the 2008 Olympic Games, which start August 8th. From July 20 to Sept. 20, Beijing will alternate the days that vehicles with even and odd license plate numbers will be allowed to drive in the city – in the hopes that this will reduce traffic and air pollution for the Olympics. China has also announced that fuel prices will be raised by 18 per cent.
China's incredible growth and increasing energy demands are commonly known. The pollution in the city of Beijing just relays the environmental issues around the country's fast-paced development. With the Olympics right around the corner, the Chinese government is well aware that the one thing that can destroy all their best laid plans is the heavy smog common in Beijing.
Already a large number of athletes are severely concerned about how competing in the Olympics will harm their health and chances at winning. The Australian track and field team, and the Canadian athletics team are skipping the opening ceremony due to concerns about pollution.
The million car ban will include 70% of all government and state-run vehicles, but will basically remove cars from the road on by using an alternating system. From July 20 to Sept 20, the city will regulate traffic and pollution by alternating the days which vehicles with even and odd numbered registration numbers are allowed on the roads.
China's government probably hopes that the recent increase in domestic fuel prices will dissuade drivers during the summer and slow down China's hunger for new vehicles, though that seems unlikely. If there's one lesson that China should take from this, it is that unfettered demand for oil consuming vehicles brings serious consequences that cannot easily be solved.
+ Beijing to Impose Odd-Even Car Ban During Olympics
+ China shocks with 18 percent fuel price rise
+ Oil price rise sparks mixed reaction

What is the difference between a system backup and a user backup?
There are two types of backup: System Backup and User Backup. In addition to the system backups, we recommend maintaining user backups for your records. Here is a list of differences between the two backup file types:
How Backup Files are Created:
- System Backup Files — created automatically by our system throughout the day. There are no guarantees for a specific time. The System back up is only available after there was an initial User back up.
- User Backup Files — created by the customer using the back-up feature in the Hosting Control Panel's database administration tools. Alternatively, you can upload MySQL database files to _db_backups folder on the root level of the hosting account.
- System Backup Files — stored on servers inaccessible to the user, but can still be restored through the control panel.
- User Backup Files — stored in the_db_backups folder on the root level of the your hosting account.
- System Backup Files — managed by our system, which periodically creates and replaces these files.
- User Backup Files — managed by the user. Using an FTP client, you can download, upload, rename, and delete these files.
- System Back-Up Files — use the database name.
- User Back-Up Files — use the database name. While you cannot define a filename during the back-up process, you can rename a file once the process is complete.
Note: You must use the appropriate filename extension when renaming any back-up file: MySQL files use the .sql extension. SQL Server files use the .bak extension.
For more information, see Backing up and Restoring MySQL or MSSQL Databases.

A Sandwich a Day: Chivito from Fast Gourmet Inside a D.C. Gas Station
In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
How often do you eat something at a gas station, then feel compelled to gush about it all weekend to friends? Hm, us either. Until trying the Chivito sandwich at the Lowest Price gas station on 14th and W Streets in Washington D.C. At any given time, there are easily more people here for the sandwiches inside the attached Fast Gourmet than for the petrol outside.
This sandwich is also probably the most expensive thing you'll buy at a gas station that's not gas. The Chivito is $13, but includes the following (get ready): beef tenderloin, slices of black forest ham, bacon, green olives, melted mozzarella, a hard-boiled egg, lettuce, tomato, house-made (gas-station-made?) escabeche (comprised of red peppers, onion, and garlic in olive oil), and a swipe of creamy mayo. All that is somehow contained between two flat grilled halves of a roll, which has a soft doughy-ness reminiscent of Pillsbury crescent rolls. Also, that roll was baked there—can you remember the last time you went to a gas station with bread-baking ovens?
Fast Gourmet opened in October of 2010 by two brothers who were used to seeing gas stations all over South America with really good food. They were curious how the D.C. locals would feel about this unexpected partnership, but so far customers seem to dig the sandwiches (the Cuban is also a hit) and the "sketchy" element, said one of the employees. Especially the post-barhopping crowd at 2 a.m. (Fast Gourmet is open until 5 a.m. on weekends) that form lines snaking out the door.
Be prepared to wait a bit. Making one of these sandwiches to order takes longer than buying a Slim Jim, but the Chivito is worth it: beefy, salty, cheesy, warm, and a little bit of I'm-not-sure-what-I-just-ate-but-it-was-awesome. And if the sandwich is somehow not filling enough, it also comes with a side of fries.

Celebrate Adoption
National Adoption Day (NAD) is a movement which began in 2000 with a handful of celebrations in approximately 9 states. The movement has grown by leaps and bounds, ceremonies are now held in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The purpose of National Adoption Day is to raise awareness of the approximately 463,000 children currently in the foster care system, 114,000 of whom are awaiting adoption. In Cental New York, there are approximately 341 children freed for adoption and more than half of these children have not yet been placed with a prospective adoptive family.
Here in the 5th Judicial District, our goal is raise public awareness, but as equally important, to celebrate and honor those who have adopted, encourage others to adopt or foster and to continue to work with the Courts, government and community partners to ensure that all children in foster care are provided with safe, permanent and loving homes.

Cesarean Scar: Kelly
Kelly says:
My son was conceived via IVF, our 2nd attempt (the first resulted in miscarriage). I had a relatively normal pregnancy in the early days. No morning sickness and only a few minor issues. By the end however I began to slowly fall to pieces (as my Obstetrician put it). I was scheduled for a caesarian in week 38 due to pre-eclampsia & an oversize, breech baby. I was hospitalised week 33-34 for pre-eclampsia. By week 36 I began feeling very unwell and had a blood test and my levels were all over the place. My blood pressure was sky-high, my platelets had dropped dramatically and my liver and kidneys weren't coping. I was phoned by my obstetrician and told to pack a bag and come in immediately and I would be taken to theatre 8am the next day. My husband was working away and my parents live 2hrs away so it was a mad dash to get everyone here. Further blood tests revealled that it would be too risky for an epidural so I was placed under general anaesthetic (GA). My beautiful son "exited via the sunroof" at 8:08am Thurs 18th March 2010 at exactly 37 weeks gestation 49.5cm & 3.55kg. He wasn't breathing at first and was a lovely shade of purple. His 1min Apgar was 3. However he picked up and has gained a healthy 1.4kg since and is the light of my life.

Green Bean, Potato & Olive Salad
Every Saturday, my family and I head out to a local horse ranch (where my son rides) and share a picnic lunch with friends. As a result, I'm always on the look out for new picnic foods. This Green Bean, Potato and Olive Salad is a tasty vegan riff on the Salad Nicoise and very easy to prepare! The saltiness and depth of the herb-marinated olives packs plenty of flavor and the combination of creamy baby Dutch potatoes and crunchy green beans provides substance and freshness.
I dressed the salad in a very simple lemon olive oil, which made this an awesome light dish for a hot day. Next time, I'll try a vinaigrette of lemon olive oil, champagne vinegar and a little mustard to soak up with baguette!
This is a great shared dish and easily prepared in 30 minutes. Put the baby Dutch potatoes in a saucepan with salted water and bring to a boil. Turn down to medium and cook until the potatoes are just soft to a sharp knife. Add either fresh or frozen Haricots Verts (tiny whole green beans). Cook until the beans are cooked, but still have some crunch. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Once the potatoes and beans are cold, mix with your favorite herb-marinated olives and lemon olive oil (or olive oil and lemon juice). Salt to taste with sea salt and pack for your picnic!
If you eat eggs, wedges of hard boiled egg can be added at serving time.

The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet church-yard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit...
...Let us, then, at the time appointed gather around their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with the choicest flowers of spring-time; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dishonor; let us in this solemn presence renew our pledges to aid and assist those whom they have left among us a sacred charge upon a nation's gratitude, the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan.
-From General Order No. 11 by General John A. Logan, Commander In Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic.
|General and Senator John A Logan
Although decorating the graves of their fallen loved ones was something the 'ladies of the south' had been doing on their own since the war broke out, this declaration was an act of reconciliation between the north and the south, recognizing the loss on both sides of the cause when flowers were placed on the graves of both Union and Confederate Soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.
This is something my grandparents' and parents' generations did unfailingly when I was growing up. The Memorial Day Committee in my home town always had the local Boy and Girl Scouts and Camp Fire Girls place a geranium on every Veteran's grave, marked with a small American Flag. But I never knew until just now that decorating the graves was anything more than a nice tradition or just making sure that the graves look nice for the Memorial Day services that take place in the cemeteries every year. I had no idea that to decorate a grave, to garland it with the "choicest flowers of spring time" was written into the order that designated the holiday.
|Decoration Day 1899 Illinois
One of my ancestors, Salem Judson Tiffany, the brother of my great great grandfather Harlan Tiffany, was a private in the 34th Massachusetts Infantry. Salem was born in Connecticut but grew up in Southbridge, Massachusetts. The 34th was made up of men and boys from the western part of the state where Southbridge is located.
In August of 1862, at 25 years old, Salem who made a living as a weaver, still lived with his parents in Southbridge. He was the oldest of five children. Salem enlisted when the call went out along with about 1,000 other young men from the area who were assigned to the 34th Massachusetts Infantry. They left immediately for Virginia. The 34th stayed in Virginia and Washington DC for some months before they set out for various campaigns in the Shenandoah Valley during the spring of 1864.
In New Market VA, a battle was brewing. The Union Army had arrived there early on Sunday morning, May 15, 1864 to face the enemy. About 5,000 other troops joined the 670 men from the 34th who were there that fateful day.
Meanwhile, the south, with similar numbers present, had conscripted young cadets from the nearby Virginia Military Institute (VMI) knowing they may need the additional men. It was common to empty the colleges and universities in the south of their able-bodied young men when battles were waged nearby. The young cadets from 14 -18, numbering more than 200, were divided into 4 different battalions, all of them eager to engage in battle. Little did they know how celebrated they would be when it was over.
Heavy rain poured down on New Market,Virginia, leaving deep, thick mud everywhere on the field of the farm where the battle took place. It would come to be known as the "Field of Lost Shoes". As the south and the north advanced toward each other, clearly the Union soldiers were confused by what ensued and from what some say were vague and confusing orders given by Major General Franz Sigel.

Heavy rain poured down on New Market,Virginia, leaving deep, thick mud everywhere on the field of the farm where the battle took place. It would come to be known as the "Field of Lost Shoes". As the south and the north advanced toward each other, clearly the Union soldiers were confused by what ensued and from what some say were vague and confusing orders given by Major General Franz Sigel.
|Field of Lost Shoes
In Sigel's own words:
"Our skirmishers began to fall back, and fire was opened by Snow's battery on our right. I ordered the 34th Massachusetts to kneel down and deliver their fire by file as soon as the enemy came near enough to make it effective. A very severe conflict now followed at short range, the enemy charging repeatedly and with great determination against our line of infantry and the batteries, and being repulsed by the coolness and bravery of the 34th Massachusetts, 1st West Virginia, and 54th Pennsylvania, and the batteries.
The smoke from the infantry fire on the left and the batteries on the right became so dense that I could not distinguish friend from foe.
There was an interruption of a few minutes, when the enemy's lines recoiled, and our men cheered; then the fire began again and lasted about thirty minutes; the enemy again charged, this time especially against our batteries; he came so near that Lieutenant Ephraim Chalfant of Carlin's battery rode up to me and said that he could not hold his position. I immediately ordered two companies of the 12th West Virginia to advance and protect the pieces, but to my surprise there was no disposition to advance; in fact, in spite of entreaties and reproaches, the men could not be moved an inch. At this moment Major Meysenburg of my staff came up to me, and, to save the guns, I determined to make a countercharge of the whole right wing, and requested him to transmit the order to Colonel Thoburn, who was not far from me toward the left. Bayonets were fixed and the charge was made in splendid style, but the enemy rallied, received our line with a destructive fire, and forced it back to its position. Before the charge was made, our extreme left wing had given way; two pieces of Von Kleiser's battery fell into the enemy's hands, and a part of his forces moved against the left and rear of Thoburn's brigade. When Thoburn's regiments came back, strewing the ground with their killed and wounded, the enemy, close on their heels, now again turned against the batteries on the right, filling the air with their high-pitched yells. I saw that the battery would be lost, as men and horses were falling."
The 34th Massachusetts were the first to face the enemy and engage in battle of gunfire and bayonets in that battle. When the order was given for them to retreat, they were bringing up the rear and would not be able to get out of harm's way. The 4 battalions of cadets were right there in the thick of it, positioned closest to the 34th. In their youthful fervor they became a mighty foe. These young cadets did major damage to the 34th, and many Massachusetts sons were killed or wounded and then taken captive by the cadets and the Confederate Veterans they fought beside. Ten of the cadets died that day. They are remembered each year in a reenactment at New Market and at VMI.
And, among the wounded Union Soldiers that day was 27 year old Private Salem Judson Marsh. Wounded in his left shoulder, he was taken prisoner and brought to Andersonville Prison in Georgia. There, with quite a few others from his little town in Massachusetts, he lived in horrendous conditions of starvation, infection, and no shelter from the elements. This prison had just opened a few months before Salem was captured. It was designed to hold 10,000 men. It held 45,000. There was one small stream that ran through the middle of the open stockade which was called Sweetwater Branch. It was used for drinking, bathing and sewage. Men were dying of infection and dysentery at the rate of 100 per day. By the time the prison was closed in 1865, 13,000 men had died while imprisoned there.
|Monument at Andersonville for Massachusetts Soldiers
Salem succumbed to his suffering on September 1, 1864. He is buried in grave #7468 at Andersonville National Cemetery.
|Salem Judson Tiffany's Grave #7468 next row, far left, outside of photo.
When Salem's parents back in Massachusetts were told about his death, I can only imagine their heartbreak. His younger brother Edwin, had reenlisted, perhaps to avenge his brother's death, leaving his parents to worry that Salem wouldn't be the only son they would lose before it was over. I am sure the fact that so many of their neighbors and friends had also lost their sons and loved ones was little consolation.
In one report I read, of the 400 men that little Southbridge, Massachusetts sent to this war, 39 were killed. At least 10 of them died at Andersonville. The losses in Massachusetts alone totaled nearly 14,000 men during the War of the Rebellion. 100 years later during the Viet Nam war, my town, probably 3 times the size of 1860s Southbridge by then, lost just one man to that war. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts lost 1,323 soldiers in Viet Nam. It puts those numbers into perspective.
It must have been a very sad and somber Memorial Day, that first one observed in Southbridge. Younger brother Edwin was there to commemmorate it with his parents, much to their great relief. He survived multiple enlistments and lived a long life, marrying and having children of his own. His son, Carroll, was a favorite cousin of my great grandmother's. I have correspondence between them and I met Carroll on a couple of occasions, funerals I believe. But at the time I had no idea that his father had gone through so much anguish over losing his older and much adored brother.

Now when I see someone lovingly tending to a grave, brushing away the dirt from the stone, leaving a potted geranium or planting flowers near the flag marking any Veteran's grave, I will remember that there is so much more to the gesture than I once thought.

Is this really your first rain in a long time or did I miss some?
Princess, Brandi's quoting Keats so I have to go with the Arab poets: If you can count a man's faults (as opposed to not being able to count them because he has too many) he has done enough to be called noble. Think of the "help" that way.

RG, I had had no idea that it was ever dry up there until you mentioned it here, and now I know about dry summers being the norm, another surprise. The fires unfortunately made the news, but I heard no mention of dry weather. They could have been started by lighting from ran clouds for all we knew. The reality of these fires is so terrible, not the inevitability or the necessity, we all hear about that, but the individual event itself. The Bastrop fires here were terrible, wrenching events. I know you all have one and constantly revise it, but a real, exquisitely executable evacuation strategy is so important, but people there also found that an instant comes when you have to forget that, throw paper bags with bunns in them in the car and DRIVE. Heaven forbid your experiencing such a thing. Congratulations on the rain and hopefully years and years of more seasonable weather to follow.

Rain is awesome. I love rain. Warm, cold, icy, misty, pounding, drizzling, stinging, freezing, slushy, abundant rain. I love dark dark clouds and high winds from the Great White North.
I love snow. I love the cold. I love bare trees and crunchy brown leaves rustling about on the ground.
My pecans are ALMOST ready...still a bit wet in the shell and too soft, but almost. MMMM, pecan cranberry jello salad...roasted cinnamon pecans, buttery toffee pecans, crushed pecan streusel topping on sweet potato casserole...
Princess, I will warm you by the oven and share my yummy pecans with you, never to make you wait out in the rain for a second!

Beware Bracket Advice! (Note: Bracket Advice Enclosed)Posted by jstevrtc on March 17th, 2009
John Stevens is a featured writer for Rush The Court.
For the next 72 hours you're going to be bombarded with advice on how to fill out your NCAA Tournament bracket. It'll be a steady diet of punchy one-liners like "Always pick 12s against 5s!" and "Ones always beat sixteens!" Sure, there's some good advice out there. Some of it's pretty obvious. And some of it just blows. I'm not saying I've got the market cornered on how to pick a perfect bracket, and you should beware anyone who makes that claim. But I think it's good to take a quick look at some of what these so-called experts are telling you.
First, there are two things we can accept as axiomatic and move on:
1) One-seeds always beat 16s.
2) All four one-seeds almost never get to the Final Four (we know last year is the exception).
Right. We get it. Anyone who uses one of those as a selling point in their analysis is someone you should ignore. If you're reading a piece on NCAA tournament bracket-filling advice, it's certain that you already have those pieces of information. It isn't news to you. So let's move on…
Wrong. This is my favorite piece of bracket-building advice. It's a fad statement because of how, in the past several years, 12-seeds have almost always scored at least one victory against 5-seeds in a given tournament. Most people take this too far and choose three or even all four 12s to move on in their brackets. But according to BBState.com (a hoops stat nerd's wet dream — this means you, rtmsf), the all-time record for 12s against 5s is a discouraging 34-83, or about 29%. This means that you're completely justified picking a single 12-seed that you've got a hunch about to score a win over a 5, but leaving the rest alone. If you choose right, great! You showed those punk opponents of yours how it's done. Worst-case scenario if youre wrong is you drop a couple of points if another 12 that you didn't select pulls off the upset. Chances are, one 12 will pick up a win. So I wouldn't leave it alone and take all the 5s. But choose a SINGLE 12-seed, and don't sweat it if you're wrong.
That isn't necessarily an untrue statement, since we all love a good tournament upset unless it's our alma. Those stories are often what make the event so special and add to its legend. But it does not apply to bracket-building. Notice how most brackets have increasing point values as the rounds progress, i.e. you get a single point for correctly picking a first-round winner, two points for a second-round winner, etc. So if you have a bunch of upset-picks advancing to later rounds, since higher-seeded teams usually end up rising to the top, all you've done is penalize yourself in the big-reward games. Some bracket competitions assign even higher point values than I've mentioned above (8 points for a correct Final Four pick, 15 for a national champion, and so on) so it's more important in those systems. The payoff, then — keep the upsets limited to the first round and maybe the second where you can't get hurt much if you choose wrong. Now, I'm not telling you pick a totally worthless and boring bracket where the "better" seed always wins. That's the height of douchebaggery. This is indeed about having fun, and it's fun to pick a couple of mid-major upstarts to stick it to one or two BCS goons for a round or two. It adds meaning to games you might not even watch or care about under any other circumstance. If you're wrong, and your favorite 10-seed doesn't make it to the Sweet 16 and that 14 doesn't score that first-round victory you predicted, big deal. It's your bracket and you took the chance. But if you care about winning, keep that stuff in the early round games, and fill in your later rounds with more established programs.
A generic piece of advice. Otherwise stated as "You have to have good guard play to win the title." What are you going to do, choose a team with bad guards? Even if the person espousing this really means that you should choose a championship team and/or Final Four teams that are "led" by guards, be careful. Look at every champion crowned in the 2000s. Every one of them has forwards and/or centers who meant just as much or even more to the team than any of their guards. This is why these coaches are out there busting their tails on the recruiting trail. It's talent at EVERY position that determines success at a program and in the Big Dance. You can't just have good guards, you need good players. The statement that you have to have "good guard play" as a necessary component for tournament success is a bit of advice that sounds insightful and has therefore spun out of control in recent years as some sage bit of wisdom. Don't even consider this piece of pseudo-advice when you're filling in your bracket.
The best piece of advice you can possibly keep at the front of your mind when building your bracket is to have fun with it. Even if you fill out an all-upset or an all-chalk bracket (bag… of… douche!), it's your bracket and you should do whatever adds to your enjoyment of the tournament. It's kind of like playing hardways or snake-eyes at a casino in Las Vegas. True, the insiders and experts might roll their eyes and snicker at you as you reduce your chances of making money with those plays. But, I figure, I don't get to Vegas too often, so while I'm there I might as well have fun and do what I want. And of course it's great if it hits! Yeah, it might not be the smartest play, but when I go home and someone asks me "Did you have fun?" I don't want to say, "No, but at least the experts don't think I'm an idiot. I think I may have impressed those guys." Same thing with filling in tournament brackets, as far as I'm concerned. But I think if, as I've outlined above, you can put a critical eye on those oft-repeated bits of advice, you'll be able to maximize both how much fun you'll have with this and your chances of winning.

Doctors ambivalent about NHS IT
All very well, but is it worth the fuss?
Doctors are still worried that patient confidentiality will be broken if treatment records are loaded onto the patient information network, the care records system, that is intended to span the country as the keystone of the late and great £12.4bn National Programme for IT (NPfIT).
They are also still narked about not being consulted properly over the plans, most being of the mind that a system designed to help them do their jobs should have consulted them more closely to find out how it should work, research firm Medix found in a survey (54 page .pdf) of 1,026 doctors (slightly more than half of respondents being hospital doctors).
Fifty-one per cent of GPs and 47 per cent of non-GP doctors said they would not or were unlikely to upload patient information to the care record system. Most of them thought it would make their patients' information less confidential.
The survey found that doctors were becoming increasingly critical of the system all round, particularly of how its costs had ballooned and how it was being implemented. This might not be of their direct concern, as long as it did the job when it was eventually up and running.
Indeed, most of them (58 per cent of GPs and 69 per cent of other doctors) think NPfIT will all come right in the end, no matter how much of a difficult birth it had.
Just about half of GPs and about 65 per cent of non-GPs think care records will help them make better decisions. More supported choose and book, which helps them make hospital appointments, since they have been using it.
However, 70 per cent of those who had used choose and book thought it "makes no difference or is detrimental to patient outcomes".
The more they had thought about the programme, the more they realised it wasn't a priority for the NHS. Sixty-seven per cent of doctors thought NPfIT was a priority for the NHS four years ago. Now, just 35 per cent do.
Most of them also did not think it was the best use of resources (76 per cent of GPs and 61 per cent of other doctors). ®

Is there a "True Blood" movie coming in the near future? Apparently theirs rumors that creator Alan Ball and HBO are already in talks to bring the vampire hit that I watch on a weekly basis despite hating myself after to the big screen. I can't wait to see it and then cry about it after.
A new trailer for Simon Rumley's "Red, White & Blue" has popped up on the tubes and after watching it I feel like I need a shower. So I've decided to make a sarcastic comment about the "Iron Man 2" trailer that I had to watch before it rather then relive the trauma I felt. Man that Gwyneth Paltrow really looks like she's hooked on smack or something am I right? I think I'm right.
For those of you lucky enough to be in the London area, and I'm starting to think 75% of our readers are, you've got a one time chance to see Guillermo del Toro introduce and discuss his 1993 film "Cronos". The event is part of the Midnight Movies series and will take place on October 9th.
John Goodman has been added to the cast of Kevin Smith's "Red State". The film is about a bunch of kids fighting a group of crazed conservatives and Jon Goodman is not going to change the fact that I have no desire to see it. Honestly it was either this or I was going to tell you about 75 new "Saw 3D" images so you're welcome.

I'm a HUGE believer in self teaching. But I think that also includes seeking out others with the knowledge you want to have to teach you. It's all good.
I am the opposite with those two crafts though. I could not get the hang of knitting but as soon as I picked up a crochet kit (much like what you mentioned for knitting) I was a wiz. I made a had, flowers, scarves etc. I'd do more of it by my first crafty love is paper and ink and with 3 kids I don't have time for all the crafty goodness in the world.
Hello! I'm Meg :) I'm 25 and have a 19m old son. My husband and I have been married 3 years at the end of August (:O!! time flies when you're having fun! ) . I've always been artsy fartsy but have found as I've gotten older that I've leaned more to the crafty side of things then anything else. Last year I taught myself to knit! It's pretty awesome. My husband is particularly proud of his out campaign scarf that I made him (if only I'd finished it before spring hit :P )
I really love doing anything craft-tastic! Hope to meet some new crafters that I can get inspiration from!! Woot!
Oh, yes.. and I live in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. However, I am American as I was raised in West Virginia :) .
Hey all. I'm new to Think Atheist and joined just because there are other crafty atheists out in the world! I did a google search and found you. I mainly craft in paper form (scrapbooks and card making) but I can also sew and have done some simple crocheting which I enjoyed very much.
I unschool (there is another word that makes people cringe, perhaps even more than the word atheist does!) my 3 kids, age 5-13 so that keeps us all busy. I also garden and raise chickens. I think I would like to cook if my family of picky eaters would appreciate it. It's no fun cooking for 1 and then having to fix 3-4 other meals too.
Looks like this group is pretty quiet. I hope I can find some crafty friendships here that doesn't have any God anywhere in the crafty creation!
Hello! I'm a Rachel as well! I have failed utterly at crotchet and knitting, but I have been doing jewelry work and beading since I was teeny, and I have just within last few years taken up sewing. I actually finished a really great dress tonight that I am very proud of. I made it entirely without a pattern. I do a lot of fabrication/ design for costumes, and I am very into cosplay/convention gear. I have also been working a lot with repurposed clothing, like T-shirt weaving, modified shoes and clothes. I also paint and draw, though I don't think that fits under the "craft' category.

From the days of the PS one, this downloadable game allows you to play one of the greatest entries in the Castlevania franchise on your PSP handheld system or PS3 home console.
While its retro 2D graphics may have off-put some PlayStation gamers at first, anyone owning a 16-bit system can easily appreciate the greatness of Konami's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Konami took the side-scrolling idea to its fullest in this title. The game's enormous maps, huge range of weapons, constant enemies, and excellent balance all still puts this squarely on the all-time list, no questions asked. Add to that a memorable soundtrack and you have a gothic masterpiece that will serve as a benchmark for many future 2D action titles.

This season, Pilgrim is playing some of its best field hockey since it moved to Division I in 2010. Even with a change at the top, it's continuing.
Longtime head coach Nisa San Giovanni accepted a department head position at the school, and per the Warwick teachers' contract, that precludes her from coaching more than one sport. San Giovanni will remain as the swimming coach.
For the field hockey team, it was an abrupt change. San Giovanni was at the helm when the Patriots played Warwick Vets on Sept. 16. The next day, when Pilgrim took on South Kingstown, assistant coach Steph Shields was taking over as the head coach and Jessica DiFilippo was joining the program as an assistant.
But the Pats are getting along just fine. They won that game against South Kingstown, and they improved to 3-5 on Friday with a 2-0 victory over Woonsocket.
"The transition has been good," Shields said. "I've been with Nisa for 12 years. I know the girls, and they're totally on board with it. We're making it."
That's good news, especially since the Pats are in the midst of a resurgent year. Their highest win total since moving to Division I was three in both 2010 and 2011. They went winless last year.
Already this season, they've matched that win total, with victories over Tiverton, South Kingstown and Woonsocket.
Those teams are all near the bottom of the standings and Pilgrim still has its difficulties against the state's powerhouses. But when all is said and done, the Pats could very well find themselves with a playoff berth.
"It's a good season so far, and we just keep emphasizing to the girls that we have a great chance to make playoffs," Shields said. "And they're very excited about that. That's really what our goal is. Coming from a really tough season last year and the year before, to make playoffs and show we can compete would be great."
On Friday, the Pats did what they needed to do against winless Woonsocket. Just over a minute into the game, Haley Donahay won a ball in the midfield and slipped it forward. Paula Cavanagh then carried it into the circle and beat the goalie with a hard bouncer for the 1-0 lead.
"Clearly, if we want playoffs, we've got to beat the teams that are lower and make sure we get those points," Shields said. "Woonsocket has improved throughout the season so we had to make sure we took care of business."
And the Pats continued to do that. Nine minutes in, Cavanagh got loose again and smacked in a shot from the left side to make it 2-0.
Cavanagh, a freshman, has now scored all seven of Pilgrim's goals this season.
"She makes things happen," Shields said. "She's in the right place to get rebounds and know where the ball's coming. She makes good things happen, and hopefully we build off that and get other kids in the mix too."
Pilgrim couldn't add to the 2-0 lead but kept the Novans off the board, even as they made a push in the second half. Defenders Sara Dolan, Sarah Reilly, Lillian Saran and Donahay – who played through two injuries – led a strong effort. In the cage, Courtney Cardoza made big saves when she had to.
"It was great to get those early goals," Shields said. "It was a little nerve-wracking but we have a strong defense and they did a nice job. And with Courtney, we have a ton of confidence in her."
Shields would have liked to see a little more offense – with some balance – but she feels the Pats are on the right track.
"We had a lot of shots," she said. "We're doing the right things. If you keep doing the right thing, the goals will come. We'll get there."
The Pats will try to continue the upward trend this week as they visit 5-3 Bay View on Tuesday and host 2-5-1 Wheeler on Thursday.

31. Archeological Survey of Scotts Bluff National Monument, Scotts Bluff County, Nebraska.
Clark, Caven P.
Forty-nine previously unrecorded archeological sites were located by pedestrian survey of Scotts Bluff National Monument in September 1991. Two sites are historic, while the others are prehistoric; some are stratified and many are buried by sterile overburden. Most of these sites were exposed as a consequence of arroyo and gully formation, which has initiated widespread erosion throughout the Monument. In the spring of 1992, two additional sites were discovered and eight prehistoric sites were tested to establish their eligibility for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to illuminating the prehistoric record of the Monument, reconstruction of the paleoenvironmental evolution of the local surface morphology is possible through the study of these sites.
Due to the sensitive nature of this subject this report is available to professional archeologists only. If you order this manuscript we may contact you for verification of your profession.

It's been a long time since i have reviewed an IWC watch, significantly less IWC Portofino replica watch. Therefore, I'll be doing an IWC Portofino perpetual calendar black dial replica review today. This IWC Portofino perpetual calendar black dial replica includes a charm that is dependant on its simplicity and utility. Many reasons exist why I believe this watch will be a perfect gift to have an seniors person.
I am not sure how to start this IWC Portofino perpetual calendar black dial replica review because, although the watch provides extensive improvements, all of them should be pointed out first. The overall concept of the timepiece would be to make things as easy as possible to be able to enjoy utilizing it with no complicated prior understanding. We begin this IWC Portofino perpetual calendar black dial replica review.
Looks And Feel
The IWC Portofino stainless replica is known as a calendar watch since it literally informs you what time during the day it's, what day it's, what date from the month it's and just what month of the season it's. It thankfully stops short at suggesting what year it's because it would try taking some doing not to be familiar with that. It will this stuff via two sub-dials along with a excellent date window.
Among the sub-dials is perfect for the era of the week that has each day inside a seven-day circle. Another is perfect for the month of the season portrayed inside a semi-circular arc with two rows of several weeks, one over the other. The date window can also be unique for the reason that your window exposes not just the present date but the previous and coming date. All of these functions are contained on the beautiful and wide pitch-black dial.
The hour marks around the IWC Portofino perpetual calendar black dial replica are stainless slits. Except the 12-hour mark where it's the Roman numeral - XII. Above these hour marks are small Arabic numerals denoting the minutes in increments of 5. The needles for that hour, minutes and seconds are extremely thin like stainless rapiers with very sharp tips. Because the dial is fairly large, the minutes and seconds hands are very lengthy.
The bezel from the IWC Portofino automatic stainless replica is apparent stainless and almost non-existent because the dial has had up the majority of the property from the watch's face. The crown can also be stainless and incredibly big. It appears super easy to deal with. All things in this IWC Portofino perpetual calendar black dial replica review really looks ace to date.
Possibly it's no shocker that it is really an automatic watch. The IWC Portofino automatic stainless replica operates on a Japanese Miyota kinetic/automatic movement. This are visible in action with the skeletal back situation from the watch which reveals a largely golden landscape of gears and wheels. The rear is another little bulbous and I am not sure whether this can be uncomfortable while putting on the timepiece. Even when it did, I know it isn't by much which certainly will not be an adverse within this IWC Portofino perpetual calendar black dial replica review.
The Fold
Finally, towards the fold from the IWC Portofino perpetual calendar black dial replica. The timepiece really looks fantastic around the wrist. It has not just to use the dial from the watch. But additionally due to the bracelet. The bracelet is much like stainless chainmail and it has no angular edges like is typical with steel bracelets. It truly looks elegant which is quite lengthy weighing 195mm lengthy and 22mm wide. It leads to a burglar clasp making for simple adjustment but remains firm in usage.
So, that's all with this IWC Portofino perpetual calendar black dial replica review. As you can tell, a senior would actually love this particular IWC Portofino stainless replica. I recommend it as a present. These perpetual calendar series are the best IWC replica watch.

The interest portion might be, thanks to the student loan interest deduction. The maximum deduction is $2,500 in 2011. You don't need to itemize to claim this deduction.
To qualify, you must meet three requirements:
First, the student loan on which you're paying interest must be one that you incurred to pay college expenses when you were at least a half-time student. This requirement excludes part-time adult learners or other nontraditional students.
Second, the interest must be paid during the first 60 months of the loan.
Third, you must meet income limits. In 2011, to take the full student loan interest deduction, single filers must have a modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) below $60,000 (below $120,000 for married filing jointly). A partial deduction is available for single filers with an MAGI between $60,000 and $75,000 (between $120,000 and $150,000 for married filing jointly).
If you paid over $600 of interest to a single lender on a qualified student loan during the year, you should receive Form 1098-E from your lender, showing the total amount of interest you paid for the year. If not, contact your lender to request this information.

Pfizer Animal Genetics Introduces CLARIFIDE™ Dairy Genomics Test
Dairy producers can now predict the future of commercial heifers
NEW YORK — Sept. 7, 2010 — CLARIFIDETM, a new genomic test for comprehensive evaluation of dairy females, is now available from Pfizer Animal Genetics, a business unit of Pfizer Animal Health.
CLARIFIDE is a 3,000-marker (3K) DNA panel that was developed through collaboration between USDA-ARS and Illumina. CLARIFIDE delivers Genomic Predicted Transmitting Ability (GPTA) values for 30 production, health and type traits, and nine composite indexes. These predictions provide insights into animals' future genetic potential early in an animal's life.
"CLARIFIDE provides a cost-effective way for commercial dairy producers to take advantage of the many benefits of genomic testing," says Nigel Evans, vice president of Pfizer Animal Genetics. "Genomics has been available in the dairy industry for the past few years, but has only been practical for a small number of elite animals. CLARIFIDE now puts genomic testing into the hands of commercial dairymen." With CLARIFIDE, commercial dairy producers can optimize selection, mating and management of Holstein, Jersey and Brown Swiss females. Dairy producers can identify the females — along with their daughters — that will be the genetic future of their herds.
Pfizer Animal Genetics has implemented CLARIFIDE in partnership with several commercial dairies from across the United States to demonstrate the value of the new tool in real-world situations. In addition, Pfizer Animal Genetics worked with the USDA Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory (AIPL) to transform the results of genetic evaluations into knowledge via customer tools and expertise to enhance on-farm application and decision-making. All of this, coupled with the fact that CLARIFIDE provides exceptional reliability in predicting genetic potential when compared with traditional Predicted Transmitting Abilities (PTA), make it a powerful tool for dairy producers.
"CLARIFIDE gives commercial producers access to genetic information that would normally require years if not decades of production records," Evans says. "Putting this in context, a cow could not generate enough progeny and production records over her entire lifetime to achieve the levels of reliability available from CLARIFIDE."
To maximize the benefits of CLARIFIDE™, Mike Layfield, group director, U.S. Dairy Business, Pfizer Animal Health, suggests that producers start by evaluating replacement heifers prior to breeding.
"The true value of CLARIFIDE can be captured by evaluating animals at a young age that will have a lifetime of influence on a herd," Layfield says. "Decisions then can be made regarding mating, enhanced reproductive technologies and voluntary culling. CLARIFIDE also provides information that can be useful for veterinarians and producers to better predict inbreeding depression and manage inbreeding, which has become a growing challenge in the dairy genetic pool."
Layfield adds that the introduction of CLARIFIDE is the latest example of Pfizer Animal Health's commitment to the dairy veterinarians and producers via a full line of dairy management solutions.
"We are dedicated to providing the tools, technology, technical service and management programs that support the whole animal and enterprise," he says. "From disease prevention and treatment, to reproductive and performance enhancement, as well as genetic optimization, we are always looking for new and innovative ways to support and enhance our customers' businesses."

RAMALLAH, West Bank, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas says future official documents will use the term "State of Palestine."
Abbas said his order applies to all government institutions, including missions in other countries, the official Wafa news agency reported Friday. He said missions in countries that voted against granting the authority the status of a non-member observer state at the United Nations should consult the Palestinian Foreign Ministry.
Qais Abdul Karim, a senior member of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, said the central council of the Palestinian Liberation Organization plans a meeting to discuss changes that need to be made to recognize the new status.
Sa'ab Erekat, head of the PLO negotiations department, said last Sunday that the authority should draft a new constitution, the Saudi Gazette reported.
Israel and the United States do not recognize the Palestinian Authority as a state.
