Arkansas vs. South Carolina: How Gamecocks Can Win Without Marcus LattimoreNovember 9, 2012
South Carolina will play its first game this season without running back Marcus Lattimore this weekend when the Arkansas Razorbacks head to Williams-Brice Stadium for the game at 12:00 p.m. ET on CBS.
The junior got hurt two weeks ago in the close victory over the Tennessee Volunteers, cutting his season short once again. Lattimore will not be attendance, according to ESPN to cheer on his team and certainly won't be on the field to be that offensive workhorse he has been the last three years.
So how do the Gamecocks beat a talented and somewhat improved Arkansas club?
Well, the good thing is that South Carolina has been in this position before, as the gifted running back missed six games last season with a torn ACL. The team found a way to win five of the last six, had the most successful season in program history and won a bowl game for the first time since 2006.
Quarterback Connor Shaw has to become more effective throwing the football. When Lattimore was on the field, the Gamecocks were able to rely on his playmaking ability, and it provided Shaw with a nice option to pitch the ball to when running zone-reads.
Now, the junior has to become a threat with his arm, which there is no better time than this Saturday to do so considering Arkansas has the 13th worst pass-defense in the SEC. The Razorbacks are allowing eight passing yards an attempt and four teams have thrown for at least two touchdowns against this secondary.
Shaw has shown the ability to make plays in the air, but has to become more consistent, as he only has two games this year where he has thrown for over 200 yards.
Running back Kenny Miles also has to take some of the pressure off Shaw with him being the new starter in the backfield. The fifth-year senior hasn't exactly been the most productive back in his career, but has the tools to break off big plays and could have a big day against an Arkansas defense that has allowed 16 touchdowns on the ground this year.
Defensively, the defensive line and linebackers should be fine for South Carolina. The problem occurs when looking at a secondary that allowed nearly 400 passing yards to Tennessee a couple of weeks ago.
Arkansas may not be the team everybody thought they were going to be this season, but it is still led by quarterback Tyler Wilson, who is still a quarterback NFL scout's love. The Razorbacks also have a wide receiver in Cobi Hamilton who has four games of double-digit receptions and is averaging over 15 yards a catch.
South Carolina needs this victory to remain in the hunt for a possible BCS bowl, while Arkansas would like to win just to give itself a shot at reaching a bowl. As long as the Gamecocks get production out of their quarterback and the secondary gets off the bus, Steve Spurrier's troops should be just fine in this SEC battle.

World's fairs provided an ideal opportunity for one-upmanship among artists and firms, as gold medals were awarded to skilled international competitors within the categories of arts and manufactures. In the areas of metalwork and glass, punch bowls provided a vehicle for displaying technical and artistic virtuosity and were often used to garner prizes by companies like Baccarat, Tiffany, Libbey, and Gorham. In its display at the 1867 Exposition Universelle in Paris, Baccarat introduced a new line of cased glass, in which the decoration was achieved through a recently developed engraving process known as acid etching (instead of the age-old technique of copper wheel engraving). Bacchus and his friends provided the subject matter for most of the acid-etched glass shown there. Baccarat's splashy display was not lost on Tiffany, which also had a presence at the Paris fair.
When the next major world's fair took place in Vienna in 1873, Tiffany featured a monumental silver punch bowl with Bacchic motifs. The battle of the punch bowls had commenced. In succeeding world's fairs, the firms submitted ever more ambitious displays, in which punch bowls invariably played a leading role, especially at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. With Tiffany and its rival Gorham literally sharing center stage, the punch bowl again became the natural vehicle with which to tout their supremacy. The two silver punch bowls displayed here first dueled in Chicago. Tiffany then trumped these two classical creations with a Viking-style punch bowl of decarbonized iron damascened with silver and gold (now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art), reminding fair visitors that Norsemen discovered America well before Christopher Columbus.

It's incredible how a shortage of just one nutrient can have such a big effect on your health.
The conventional American diet has changed drastically over the last couple of decades, causing a rise in health issue that were rarely seen before. Chronic nutrient deficiencies are prevalent now, leaving many individuals in a state of poor health.
Magnesium is one of the most common dietary deficiencies. It can be extremely hard to get from food sources and, unfortunately, the body relies greatly on magnesium for lots of important procedures.
Discover if you have a magnesium shortage and how you can return on the roadway to health.
Why Is It So Hard To Obtain Enough Magnesium?
Once upon a time, it was extremely simple to get the recommended quantity of magnesium every day. Simply consuming fruit and vegetables would provide you with the magnesium you required. This mineral prevailed in soil, but due to erosion and modern-day farming practices, there is hardly any magnesium in farming soil.
Magnesium is found naturally in foods like dark leafy greens, mackerel, nuts, seeds, and beans-- all foods that don't play a huge function in today's frequently unhealthy diets. You can also find it in particular supplements.
Check out 32 signs of magnesium shortages to see if your magnesium levels aren't quite up to par.
32 Indications That You Have a Magnesium Shortage
Potassium deficiency: may trigger extreme thirst, fluid retention, and irritability
Muscle cramps
Heart problems
High blood pressure
Trouble swallowing
Liver and kidney illness
Calcium deficiency
Bowel disease
Type II diabetes
Respiratory problems
Fertility/childbearing issues: Getting or staying pregnant, preeclampsia, preterm labor
Dental Cavities
Raynaud's syndrome: might cause cold fingers or toes, color changes in skin due to temperature level changes, and numbness in extremities
Personality modifications: frequently much like signs of anxiety, depression, and other state of mind disorders
Ways to Repair This Issue Now
If you don't get enough magnesium every day, you're doing your body a big injustice. This mineral is utilized in over 300 bodily procedures and chain reactions, so not getting enough might be badly hindering your health and your body's capacity.
Adding more magnesium-rich foods to your diet plan, such as those noted above, can help you increase your levels. Even if you attempt to get a variety of foods every day, though, you might still discover that you can't strike your suggested day-to-day value.
That's where supplementation comes in. With a supplement including magnesium, you can take a pill every day and stop stressing over eating sufficient spinach! You have actually got to choose a supplement that is good for your body. Numerous supplements have fillers like wheat, preservatives, dairy products, gluten, and sugar, none of which belong in a nutritional supplement.

Paul Tagliabue vacated Goodell's suspensions of four Saints players in the "bountygate" scandal. The former commissioner proved that, despite the fears of the Players' Association who wanted Tagliabue removed from the appeal process, he wasn't Goodell's pet Maltese.
Tagliabue ruled that Goodell had overstepped his bounds, stating, "my affirmation of Commissioner Goodell's findings could certainly justify the issuance of fines." But Goodell didn't issue fines, he issued suspensions, something he enjoys doing. Tagliabue ruled that the players were simply following the orders of management.
The bountygate scandal was heinous on all counts, but Goodell's handling of it exacerbated the problem. He acted too quickly, overreached and in the process undermined his credibility. Jonathan Vilma has a defamation lawsuit in the works against Goodell, which will likely proceed even though Tagliabue ruled that Goodell's findings against Vilma were accurate. Former Cal linebacker Scott Fujita, now with the Cleveland Browns, was the only player cleared and most certainly could make a case against Goodell for damaging his reputation.
As Drew Brees said on Twitter: "Congratulations to our players for having the suspensions vacated. Unfortunately, there are some things that can never be taken back."
Goodell was taken down a peg just when he needs to exert firm clear leadership. His league has been awash in horrifying tragedy – murder, guns, arrests, flipped cars, a dead young woman, an orphaned child, dead players. Societal problems all, but perhaps more acute in a workplace where young men are asked to behave in extremely risky ways on a daily basis.
Goodell was also dealt a setback in his public stance of concern about traumatic brain injuries and the need for strict protocol. The behavior of one high-profile coach regarding his starting quarterback directly undermines the league's desire for transparency.
Goodell's bad moments have a common theme: They are all the price of being the boss in a company that manufactures violence on a weekly basis.

since you brought up a "court of law"....i shall chime in....im not even addressing whether or not actual UFOs were seen....just bringing up the "witness testimony + court" issue....
witness testimony is pretty unreliable and in most cases for a jury to believe witness testimony, there needs to be some evidence to back it up. again, witness testimony is pretty unreliable because humans are fallible......they lie, this misunderstand, misidentify, recall memories incorrectly......people have been wrongly charged and sentenced based on witness testimony.....if you were a defendant would you want your life dependent on some person's testimony w/out any evidence at all? what if someone said they saw you murder another person - and you were innocent - would you want their testimony to be what convicts you? of course not! because one's word requires MUCH to accept as truth. people even lie under oath! to place absolute, unquestionable faith in one's word - well i guess people have differing levels of trust.
here are some great reads on eyewitness testimony....id suggest everyone read them and do further research on the subject.....
Standford Journal of Legal Studies - The Problem with Eyewitness Testimony
Unreliable Witness Testimony
Slate - Perry v New Hampshire
BBC - The Problem with Eyewitnesses
and you can google for study after study on the topic....
IMO, unless there is some evidence to back up what one claims, i take anything said with a grain of salt..
and well.....the title says "proof" and for me, proof does not equal story told by some person....

Though it may be hard to swallow, Hoover is convinced that his findings reveal fossil evidence of bacterial life within such meteorites, the remains of living organisms from their parent bodies -- comets, moons and other astral bodies. By extension, the findings suggest we are not alone in the universe, he said.

The dawn of tomorrow would herald the death of a terrorist, if not the terror, and a chapter in the saga of terrorism with reach to its logical conclusion.
I wish all cases of terrorism should similarly reach the same anvil irrespective of the religious tag of the criminal.
I am an Indian Muslim and very happy with my country and will not exchange my citizenship with any other land in this world.
I don't believe that claim of any follower of any religion for its superiority is justified if the general and aggregate attitude and behavior speaks the opposite or otherwise.
I don't believe that majority of my countrymen are prejudiced against Muslims.
I don't believe that a Vegetarian is intellectually or morally superior to a Non-vegetarian and holding the moral high ground on that basis could ever be substantiated.
I don't believe that Muslims are lagging behind because many of them are not interested to improve their lot.
I don't think that they willingly like living below the poverty line as ghettos are their habitats.
I don't believe Muslim Community churns out more criminals or saints than the other Indian communities.
I don't believe that the present generation of Muslims has any sympathy or soft corner for Pakistan like some of the remnant of previous one.
I don't believe that Muslims are either braver or coward as compare to other any other community of India.
I don't believe that Muslims are lagging behind in education because they are not getting the right kind of support from the governments. They have excelled with limited resource and often have come out in flying colors.
I don't think they're economically as poor their psudo-sympathizers want us to believe or majority of them welter in the morass of self-pity.
A flat in Johri Farm or Batla House, Okhla is still costlier to its equivalent in posh colonies.
Muslims have always been excellent at sports, studies, arts, politics, administration, warfare, science and technology. They've produced the best in every field and I don't need to name them.Everyone knows them.
I believe their problem is the historical baggage they don't know how to handle in a secular state where Hindus are in majority.
They are NOT willing to accept that there were several Muslim invaders and rulers who had treated the original inhabitants with contempt after they were defeated.
Pride on past is justified for the positive contributions and not for the military victories. These were not victories of RELIGION.
Muslims have to realize that Pakistan was the latest wound on Indian psyche as the country of Ashok, Akbar and Tipu Sultan was carved into silly, unnatural, religious dominions – the geographical monsterities.
Since independence, every decade we've wars and attacks on innocent civilians resulting innumerable casualties while the situation remains stagnant for a common man.
I believe that the main culprit of Muslim backwardness is the Priest and not the religion.
He has no answer how the over-dose of religion or overweening pride of the past is going to help solve the problems of today.
He has no idea how the competition of today could be won with the tricks of yesterday.
He has to tell his followers with full conviction that are many compromises to be made in a pluralistic society to get acceptance.
He has to dare tell his followers to eschew those ideas that are irritating to other citizens. These are to be shunned if they are not obligatory in religion.
Unfortunately, he is still not willing to understand that religion is more flexible than traditions. When the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) had first introduced Islam, it was in a social gathering where all were Idol Worshippers except few. It was his previous record of honesty and integrity that made his statement believable and not any paeans of war victories.
It was his honesty, simplicity and humility that got him followers.
He had, on record, forgiven all the offenders of city of Mecca who had ostracized and treated him badly when he was living with them. There was a grace, magnanimity and a message of forgiving when he entered the city as a victor.
The priest has to change his attitude, his oratory and his message.
Once he does that, there would be no longer dangerous Memons or Gurus because they are not the maladies by themselves, they are the symptom of disease – Avenge and Revenge.
The community that had produced Havaldar Abdul Hameed, APJ Abdul Kalam , Salim Ali, Dilip Kumar and Noushad is quite capable to produce many more like them.
Yes, definitely, there is a problem with the RSS ideology and fanatical fringes but once the country discerns the sincerity, merit and devotion, these barnacles could be taken care of.
I'm still proud that here, in my India, I don't face racial attacks by individuals, or bombs because I belong to 'Another Sect' or ban on my wives and sisters from driving because they happen to have XX chromosomes.
But, to improve our condition, we have to take initiatives. We have to STOP complaining BECAUSE it is a consequence of lack of Self-Belief.
What I expect from my countrymen is to treat me with respect. I should not be made an easy target for fake arrests when it comes to terrorist charges. There had been a lot of examples in which innocents were arrested and then released free of charges after a few years of torture and harassment.
I would also like to know why, among Bangladeshis who come to India, anyone to differentiate immigrants, from same economic background based on religion?
Let the RSS understand that we have better things to do than romance religiously. Please stop alleging us for this idiotic thing like 'Love Jihad.'
I am not much interested in impressing girls with my dance moves at Garba Pandal but I'm a good dancer for the tunes that are agreeable to me.
Jai Hind !

The man accused of starting the fire that lead to the I-85 bridge collapse was granted a $10,000 bond Tuesday morning.
Basil Eleby is charged with first-degree arson and criminal damage to property in the March 30 incident. The interstate collapse caused damage that will cost several million dollars to fix and has made traveling through the city difficult for thousands of drivers.
Eleby's bond came with a long list of conditions that include participation in a drug treatment program, bi-weekly drug screenings and maintaining housing and a job.
He is also ordered to stay 1,000 feet away from the collapsed portion of the I-85 bridge, unless accompanied by his legal team, and 200 yards away from any witnesses of the state. He cannot have direct or indirect contact with any witnesses.
Among other conditions of his bond, Eleby will undergo drug treatment at an alcohol and drug treatment program. He will live at the program and undergo mental health treatment, according to a representative from Michael and Michael Counseling and Counseling LLC who was at the hearing.

Fulton County Judge Ural D. Glanville said the court wishes he maintain employment throughout his treatment.
"It is the courts desire that you not only get treatment but you also go ahead and get employment," Glanville said.
At the beginning of the hearing, it came to light that several lawyers were called to represent Eleby before the current group of lawyers became his official team.
An attorney for Eleby said he was overwhelmed by the number of people in court to support him. Several groups organized rallies of support for Eleby and encouraged people to pack the courtroom.
"He was extremely thankful. He was very, very overwhelmed at the community's support," Attorney Mawuli Davis, said.
Davis said Eleby "has been very frustrated that he has been incarcerated on something that he believes he did not do and so he is very relieved ad ready to start anew."
Eleby's attorneys spoke to 11Alive Monday and said they don't even concede Eleby set the fire. They plan on disputing witness claims that their client started the fire.

Facebook, the Natural Resources Defense Council, energy information software maker Opower and 16 U.S. utilities launched the free app on Tuesday. The app connects your energy utility to your Facebook account, with your permission, and posts your energy usage each month.
This being Facebook, the app urges competition among friends to see who has the most energy-efficient home. It also compares your energy use to similar homes in your area, as well as homes that are considered energy-efficient.
Participating utilities include National Grid in New York and Massachusetts, Austin Utilities in Minnesota and City of Palo Alto Utilities in California.
Dell has bought business software company Clerity Solutions, the PC maker's latest bet on cloud computing.
The Round Rock company did not say Tuesday how much it was paying for Clerity.
Cloud computing is meant to save money and space by letting businesses keep their technology in far-flung data centers rather than on individual machines on-site. Workers can then retrieve computer programs and documents from any device that's connected to the Internet.
Clerity's technology helps companies migrate from older computer networks to new IT systems, including cloud computing. Clerity said its services help customers automate that transition, which it says can cut down on the cost and time of retesting systems and retraining IT workers.
Clerity was founded in 1994 and is headquartered in Chicago. Dell said it welcomed Clerity's 70 employees to its services division.
On Monday, Dell said it planned to buy Wyse Technology, another cloud computing company.
DUBAI, United
Arab Emirates
A senior Dubai cyber-crimes investigator says authorities are now conducting round-the-clock monitoring of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
The stepped up Web watching in the United Arab Emirates comes amid rising crackdowns on alleged political dissent, including recent arrests of activists for Internet postings deemed challenges to the country's rulers.
Maj. Salem Obaid Salmeen, Dubai's deputy director of anti-electronic crimes, was quoted Wednesday by the news website Emirates 24/7 as saying social media sites are considered "public spaces" and the country's laws apply.
The UAE does not permit political parties and open protests for reforms can bring arrests.
A new free smartphone app will help tourists navigate New York City's restaurants, stores, attractions and more.
NYC Map comes from NYC and Co., the city's tourism and marketing arm. It was designed by CityMaps, a local start-up.
The app will provide access to nearly 90,000 restaurants, stores, attractions, hotels and bars. Its features include reservation bookings on OpenTable, movie ticket purchases via Fandago and information about public transportation. Users can also check in on Foursquare, send tweets and upload photos.
The iPhone app will be available for download on iTunes.

Automatic analysis of retina images regarding Papille and Vessel
Search Medline for
|September 22, 2004
Detection of the papilla region and vessel detection on images of the retina are problems that can be solved by pattern recognition techniques. Fundus images can be used as well as topographic image as provided, e.g. by the HRT device. We present methods for papilla detection based on surface approximations of the papilla region; alternatively, a combination of line detection, image morphology, and Hough transform can be used in reflectivity images.
Vessels can be found with matched filters (wavelets, derivatives of the Gaussian, etc.). The parameter of these models can be chosen fixed which leads to an accurate detection of vessels of a certain width. An automatic adaptation of the parameters allows for the detection of vessels with varying diameters.
An alternative to these parametric approaches can be found when image morphology is applied. In our contribution we describe and compare these approaches.

bill-swift - July 17, 2014
Model and fellow blogger Natasha Oakley was looking hot as F in a tiny black bikini in Miami Beach. Natasha's ample funbags were on display in a top that left little to the imagination. Natasha has got a pretty spectacular rack and, humanitarian that she is, she likes to share it with the world. The cleavage alone is enough to get your pressure up but there is also some lovely sideboob action. But that's just half the story. There is also her bottom which allows us an almost complete view of her amazing booty. It's pert, toned, and perfect. I know that the word "perfect" gets tossed around a lot but in this case I mean it. Her booty looks like it was designed in a lab somewhere by mad butt scientists working on creating the ultimate derriere. They succeeded.
Natasha doesn't look like most bloggers I know. Mostly they look...well...like me. I guess really hot people have better things to do than write articles online. You know, like be hot.

Woolly mammoth spotted in Siberia
A beast lurches through icy waters in a sighting a paranormal investigator thinks could prove woolly mammoths are not extinct after all.
comment on this story 174 comments
The animal – thought to have mostly died out roughly 4,000 years ago – was apparently filmed wading through a river in the freezing wilds of Siberia.
The jaw-dropping footage was caught by a government-employed engineer last summer in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug region of Siberia, it is claimed.
Tip: Bigfoot Evidence and Doctor Atlantis
Blurry footage. From Russia. Hmm. You don't think it could be fake, do you?
I won't even mention that his looks NOTHING like a mammoth except for the brown furry part.
Siberia is wild, I guess, but there is no good evidence that mammoths still are alive there. This is not "good evidence".
Bear with fish? CGI hoax? Mr. Snuffleupagus? More likely than this being a mammoth.
UPDATE (9-Feb-2012): This video is the copyright of one Michael Cohen of All News Web, a site that serves up nothing but nonsense as "The World's Only Inter-Galactic Daily News Service". Yeah…
UPDATE (10-Feb-2012): Benjamin Radford has this article that includes comments from a video-effects artist.
Derek Serra, a Hollywood video-effects artist who has previously analyzed faked UFO videos, told Life's Little Mysteries that the video, in his opinion, appears to have been intentionally blurred, probably to obscure the animal's true identity.
"Even low-resolution cameras can focus fairly well on something," Serra said. "But there's really nothing in this video in focus. The rocks in the foreground have a blur to them that doesn't seem natural."
It also includes other questions we ought to ask of this video before assuming that it is really as fantastic as The Sun says it is. Instead, there is ample reason to discount it as a hoax.

Yet another rave review
From TownHall.com:
A refreshing book, low in rhetoric and high in historical fact (with over 600 footnotes), Donkey Cons chronicles crime after crime committed by the Left and how its representatives are seemingly immune to judgment, never held accountable, and actually rewarded for their crimes by moving to some of the most powerful positions in the party. ...But, hey, go read the whole thing. Heh.
One of the best political thrillers I have ever read, it's scary that Donkey Cons is a piece of non-fiction. This book takes liberals to task for their con-artist ways, while holding conservatives responsible for their indiscretions, as well. Although, as Donkey Cons argues, there is a fundamental difference between the two parties: when a Democrat is involved in a scandal, he becomes a national figure for the party, but when a Republican is involved in a scandal it always ends with him resigning in disgrace.

Bettie Page, shown in all her retro glory in this undated file photo, is the subject of an art exhibit tonight at Galeria Ortz. She died last week.
Everyone seemed to have a case of the lates this week. You'd think with the holidays coming up, folks would get their stuff into Weekender early. Anyway, some noteworthy things came in waaayyy after deadline and didn't make it into print this morning:
(File Photo)
Gretchen Mol had the title role in the 2005 film 'The Notorious Bettie Page.'
"Goodbye Bettie": Now here's what we need for the holidays a tribute to '50s pinup/bondage queen Bettie Page, who died Dec. 11 at 85 in Los Angeles after suffering a heart attack the week before. Galeria Ortiz, 4026 McCullough Ave., presents its tribute to Page via the art work of Ben Ortiz from 6-8:30 tonight.
The subject of the 2005 movie "The Notorious Bettie Page" (she was played by Gretchen Mol), the leather-clad, whip-wielding Page was also one of the first Playboy centerfolds in 1955. Here's a bio. If you want more, a quick Google search will turn up more photos, including one of her topless in a Santa hat. Merry Christmas.
Holiday flicks in HemisFair Park: Apparently, this one was scheduled after checking the weather reports. The Winter Holiday Spectacular action starts at 6 p.m. Saturday on the big screen behind Magik Theatre (Alamo at Nueva) with "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," followed by "A Christmas Story" at 6:30 and "It's a Wonderful Life" at 8:30.
Austin concerts on sale Saturday: A couple of shows worth noting, mainly because they're at La Zona Rosa, which only holds 800 or so, meaning both of these will probably sell out in a hurry. Lucinda Williams, touring in suport of the rockin' CD "Little Honey," wil be there Feb. 20.
But the show that will probably sell out the quickest is Adele on March 12. The teenage British sensation has been dubbed "the next Amy Winehouse" by the U.K. press (hope that's a musical comparison, not a lifestyle one) and has seen her debut album, "19" land on several best-of-2008 lists. Unlike Amy, she also remembers to eat now and then, judging from her picture. Good move.
Both shows go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday at GetTix outlets. Here's the link.

Adele will play Austin's La Zona Rosa March 12. Tickets go on sale Saturday.

Since the last Briefs, the Lincoln Legals has received cash contributions from the following individuals and firms: Joseph M. Ayd, Philip K. Connelly, Edwards Brown, Richard N. Current, John Brooks Davis, W.D. Hickle, Robert P. Howard, Illinois Bell Telephone, James E. Myers, John Y. Simon, and J.M. Slechta. We are grateful for their support.
In addition to the cash contributions listed above, Art Loux of Kansas City, Missouri, arranged for the three-year loan of an IBM XT computer with a 10mb hard disk to the project. He also provided the framework for the beginning a Lincoln Legal "Day by Day." When implemented, it will enable us to easily track Lincoln's court activity chronologically. It will be some time, however, before we begin entering that type of information.
John Power of the Jacksonville Journal-Courier has arranged for the indefinite loan of John J. Hardin's copy of Simon Greenleaf, A Treatise on the Law of Evidence (Boston, 1846).
The Abraham Lincoln Symposium was a resounding success. Well over 225 people attended the session in the Old State Capitol on February 12. The discussions of Mary Todd Lincoln by Professor Jean Baker of Goucher College, and the Ann Rutledge legend by John Y. Simon of the Ulysses S. Grant Association and Southern Illinois University at Carbondale were provocative and well received. Both papers will be published in the Association's Journal.
The Advisory Board of the Lincoln Legals met in Springfield on February 11. Although no action was taken, the Board discussed a number of proposals from publishers interested in the Lincoln Legals. The Board did vote to enlarge its membership in an effort to provide better national representation to the project.
The project staff was disappointed that the Lincoln Legals did not receive an NEH grant. We were, however, encouraged by the NEH staff to submit a revised proposal. We are currently preparing the revision, and hope to have it in the mail well in advance of the June 1 deadline. In the meantime, we remain optimistic, and will continue moving forward with the financial support of the Abraham Lincoln Association, private contributions, and the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. If others wish to contribute, checks should be made payable to the Abraham Lincoln Association with a notation that the money is for the Lincoln Legals, and sent to the Abraham Lincoln Association, Old State Capitol, Springfield, Illinois, 62701.
We have completed accessioning copies of material received from the Illinois State Historical Library, and have begun accessioning copies of legal material found in the Herndon-Weik collection held by the Library of Congress.
It is with regret that we announce the departure of Marty Benner, who has been Secretary/Office Manager for the project since February 1987. Marty has been responsible for setting up and maintaining order within the office and on the computers since joining the project. Her ability to manage and manipulate the data bases developed this past year has been of incalculable assistance to the project. We shall miss her.

Institute for Equity in Birth Outcomes
About the Institute
The Institute for Equity in Birth Outcomes (Equity Institute) is a national initiative designed to strengthen the scientific focus and evidence base for realizing equity in birth outcomes in urban U.S. cities. During a two-year span, selected teams headed by CityMatCH member health departments will participate and receive training to support them as they select, implement, and evaluate an equity-focused project.
The Strategy
As a national team, our challenge is to demonstrate the evidence base for local interventions that reduce inequities in birth outcomes. Equity Institute teams will work together and with experts in the fields of public health and epidemiology, birth outcomes, health inequities, and evaluation to accomplish the following two main tasks:
1. Complete the Equity Institute Curriculum with 5 Major Topics
- Race, Racism, and Inequities in Birth Outcomes in the U.S.
- Epidemiology of Birth Outcomes and Racial Disparities
- Evidence-Based Interventions for Vulnerable Populations
- Leadership
- Evaluation
2. Design, Implement and Evaluate a Local Equity Project
Through the combination of strategies shown to improve birth outcome disparities (ex. 17P, birth spacing, safe sleep, etc.), and data-driven decisions specific to the target populations in participating communities, teams will engage in a local equity project aimed at reducing the disparity in birth outcomes. Teams will receive technical assistance as they design, implement, and evaluate their project.
Through face-to-face Equity Institute Trainings (EIT), monthly calls and webinars, online curriculum components, mentoring relationships with experts, and technical assistance from top program evaluators, Equity Institute teams will arrive at a final national summit where they will share their process and results and add to the equity evidence base.
For more information, visit the Equity Institute Web site.
CityMatCH's Institute for Equity in Birth Outcomes, funded by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, is a high-visibility, national movement of urban communities instilling a scientific focus on public health strategies to reduce inequities in birth outcomes.

What can the Board of Supervisors do to address reports of inmate abuse by sheriff's deputies in L.A. County jails? Not much, wrote editor-at-large Jim Newton in his Nov. 7 column, because the sheriff is elected by voters and cannot be fired or disciplined. The column prompted USC public administration professor David Lopez-Lee to write the following letter, which was published Nov. 9:
"Jim Newton writes about L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca: 'Unlike the [Los Angeles Police Department] chief, the sheriff is an elected official.... He can't be fired or disciplined. In effect, he has no boss but the voters, and that means an investigatory commission, no matter how effectively it does its job, will have little leverage.'
"He concludes that Baca 'is so insulated from normal channels of pressure that he simply does what he likes.' He describes such insulation as 'politics.' By politics, he means the voting public.
"To negatively frame and thereby trivialize the pressure of the voting public is remarkable. There are many who would prefer a police chief directly responsive to the voting public as opposed to pressure by commissions, which are often populated by egos vying for the political limelight.

Architect Brad Cloepfil, 'face to watch in the arts,' to lecture at Syracuse Architecture
Architect Brad Cloepfil, founding principal of Allied Works Architecture, a leading architecture and design firm based in Portland, Ore. and New York City, will speak at the Syracuse University School of Architecture on Tuesday, Feb. 1, at 5 p.m. in Slocum Hall Auditorium. His lecture, "Occupation," is free and open to the public.
Cloepfil studied architecture at the University of Oregon and received his master's of architecture at Columbia University. Recently, he was named a "2011 Face to Watch in the Arts" by architecture critic Christopher Hawthorne of the Los Angeles Times, and Terence Riley, former chief curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, identified Cloepfil as an architect who is "setting the pace for the future."
After Cloepfil established Allied Works Architecture in 1994, the firm quickly developed a strong reputation through projects such as the Wieden+Kennedy Agency World Headquarters, an adaptive re-use of an historic warehouse in Portland. Completion of the firm's first major free-standing public building, the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (2003), garnered international acclaim. Recent projects include: the Booker T. Washington High School for Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas (2008), noted as one of the top North American schools by Architype Review for its innovation in typology; the re-design of 2 Columbus Circle for the Museum of Arts and Design (2008); the AIA award-winning renovation and expansion for the University of Michigan Museum of Art; and a feature animation facility for Pixar Animation Studios (under construction).
In 2009, Allied Works Architecture won the international competition to create the National Music Centre of Canada, an institution dedicated to the music of Canada in all of its forms. In May 2011, the firm will release its first book, "Allied Works Architecture Brad Cloepfil: Occupation" (Gregory Miller Books, USA; Hatje Cantz, Europe and Asia).

Usual Suspects to the Fore on Day 1 at Junior Rugby World CupJune 2, 2014
It was the traditional rugby powers that stood out on Day 1 of the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship in New Zealand. Strong performances from Australia and South Africa saw them put on the most impressive displays of the day, while New Zealand, England, Wales and France all showed their potential too.
Australia got the tournament under way, with a convincing 36-17 win over Argentina. They built their game off a dominant tight five, who pushed around the typically strong Argentinian scrum. It was this dominance that allowed them to maintain possession and launch a handful of attacking moves.
However, their tight five was not limited to set piece and were prominent around the field, putting in hits and making good metres to get go-forward with ball in hand. This made the job of the loose forwards that much easier, where Rowan Perry was especially prominent with his high work-rate tackling disrupting ball at the breakdown.
Their back line operated efficiently, with the nine-ten combination of Joe Powell and Jake McIntyre impressing, both possessing fast passes with both hands, without having to take an extra step. This opened up space for their outside backs who cashed in later in the game, notably through Andrew John Kellaway, who was busy all day and ran dangerously with ball in hand, being rewarded with two tries.
Argentina, on the other hand, were fairly one-dimensional, looking to keep the game tight and used a multitude of one-off forward runners. They hung in the game well for 40 minutes, but eventually the dominance the Australians held in the tight told, sucking the defence in and opening up gaps out wider.
They are a team who present a real threat to fellow Pool A contestants and defending champions England. While England claimed a convincing win over Italy, it is hard to read too much into this game. The Italians fought hard and scrambled well under pressure on defence, but ultimately they were outclassed by a far better team.
England have a huge forward pack that will wear teams down and a couple of flyers out wide but will face a far sterner test from Australia in their second match on Friday.
South Africa were the other team to make a huge statement, dispatching a Scotland team 61-5, after leading by just nine points at the break. Scotland put up a strong fight and were resilient in defence in the first half. They looked to pin the Baby Boks in their own half and scored a brilliant length-of-the-field try.
But the massive South African forward pack eventually wore down the Scots, and the floodgates opened in a second half where the traffic all ran one way. Their forwards and midfield showed they were not just big, but ran well with the ball, threw some nice short balls and offloaded well to open up the defence. Handre Pollard directed play well at flyhalf through a tidy kicking game and took the ball to the line aggressively. Out wider the back three threatened constantly, especially Lloyd Greef, a big, strong runner who came into the line well and was a handful for defences.
They are going to be a tough team to beat and may well have cemented themselves as favourites after such a dominant second-half display.
To win, though, they will have to go through hosts New Zealand, who won the other Pool C game against Samoa. The 48-12 scoreline heavily flattered the Baby Blacks, who were under a lot of pressure at the breakdown from a spirited Samoan forward pack. They looked to play a more up-tempo game, lacking the size of some of the other teams but possessing a number of game breakers who will be a handful for any defence. The Samoans combated this by attacking the breakdown aggressively, disrupting the New Zealand ball and controlling a large part of the second half.
It must be remembered, however, that this was far from New Zealand's top team, and they finished the game strongly once Blues Super Rugby players Simon Hickey and Tevita Li were introduced. Expect a full-strength line-up to take the field against South Africa on Friday, but do not expect a change in tactics. The New Zealanders will look to run the big South African forwards around in the hope of cashing in late in the game.
The remaining pool, Pool B, does not have such obvious threats for the title but put up the best game of the day, with France downing Ireland 19-13. It was a spirited performance from an Irish side that withstood a lot from the French in the first half, yet were pressing the line to nearly snatch a win come the end of the game.
France dominated proceedings in the first half, with their strong forward pack getting good go-forward, tackling aggressively on defence and offloading well on attack. In Baptiste Serin they had a scrum-half who ran lively and kicked well, while Kylan Hamdaoui was a threat out wide.
They looked to have tired in the second half but showed what they are capable of and will represent a huge challenge to Wales for the right to go through from Pool B.
Wales, while apparently convincing winners in their 48-19 drubbing of Fiji, will find both France and Ireland a different kettle of fish.
The Welsh had a far superior scrum, through which they controlled the game and scored the majority of their points. Other than this, they did not really threaten. They will not get away with this against a better opposition and will need to develop more of an attacking game, although you cannot criticise them too much after a 29-point win.
Fiji were enterprising, throwing the ball around, running and offloading well in typical Fijian style but lacked the ability to execute at scrum time, which hurt them dearly.
With Day 1 out of the way, we can start to get a feel for the teams and look at predicting how each may fare in the overall competition.
South Africa and Australia were the two most impressive teams, both showing multiple dimensions to their game, and will both be tough to beat. It is hard to write off a skillful New Zealand at home, though, and England will not roll over for the Australians.
A betting man would suggest that one of these teams will emerge as the eventual winners, but with so much rugby still to be played, it is still early days yet. However, if early form is anything to go by, it looks as though it will be a tightly contested tournament with plenty of quality rugby.

In preparing for the winter, an ice cave was prepared for their meat, first in a stranded iceberg and later onshore. The 16 lamb carcasses landed had turned green and had to be dumped much to the delight of the Skua Gulls. Although a loss, Campbell was not worried as there was enough wildlife at hand to compliment their larder. He wrote '…we ought not run short of fresh meat as penguin and seals are plentiful.' [1]
It was common in early Antarctic Expeditions to use seals, and penguins to provide fresh meat and to supplement their food supply. Not only to supplement, but in many cases they planned their food supply assuming that local meat would be used. New Zealanders at Scott Base finally stopped using seal meat to feed their dogs at the end of the 1960 season.
Seal blubber was used as a fuel for some heating, cooking and lighting. Scott had a blubber stove designed and built in New Zealand before heading south in 1910. [2] Now settled in their new home, regular temperature, barometric pressure, sunshine hours, wind, and general weather observations were under way. Then on March 14, the first of a series of magnetic observations started.
On the 18 March, the anemometer broke after they recorded wind speeds of 84 miles per hour. This hurricane force gale started early in morning and blew hard all day violently shaking the hut. During the night, the wind eased to force six (25-30 miles per hour). Priestley in his book says:
Our losses were insignificant, but our chief anxiety was for
our untested hut. This shook and quivered
like a thing alive, and there was quite a rain of plates and dishes off the
shelves. It was on this night that I
first realized the possibilities of my shelves when I received a German
dictionary on the side of my head, and this was followed by a deluge of
ink-bottles, pencils, pens, and books. We
were to find out that this particular wind was but a child when compared with
some of the later gales, but at the time it seemed quite strong enough …….[3]
This hurricane was their first experience of the winds in this area. Borchgrevink in his book had described the ferocity of the Cape Adare winds, but most were skeptical and believed he was exaggerating. The Northern Party was to verify his accuracy and some instances his understatements.

The demonstration is written in Java 1.1, so it should work with many older (4.x) browsers and Java virtual machines (JVM), as well as JVMs based on Java 1.2. It has been successfully tested on a number of platforms, though your milage may vary. Basic usage is straightforward; pressing the button at the bottom of this page will launch the demonstration window. If you don't see the button, a message telling you to turn on java or use a different browser will be in its place. The demonstration program is contained in two java archives, totalling 550 kilobytes of disk space. Depending on your connection, it may take a significant time to transfer to your machine. Furthermore, it may take a few seconds to display the demonstration window once download is complete. The sections below describe in detail how the controls of the program work.
This page is not meant to be a tutorial on java, but if you know how, you may download the java archive file and run the class mit.ai.nl.graphics.Demo from within your own java environment.
The demonstration program is controlled by the following buttons and menus on the Control Bar at the top of the window.
The drawing canvas is similar to the canvas in most drawing programs. After each stroke is drawn, the program reevaluates the expression on the canvas. If the program is unable to assign a stroke to a particular symbol at a value below the Rejection Threshold then it will color the stroke in red. These strokes do not affect the final output of the program. The rejection threshold can be changed in the control bar.
If the system does not recognize a character you wrote, or you've made a mistake, you can erase the strokes in the character. This can be accomplished in one of two ways. The first is using the Delete Stroke button. The second is simply to scribble out unwanted characters. In order to ensure that your scribble gestures are recognized, make broad strokes over the stroke(s) that you would like to delete.
The expression recognition algorithm is actually quite fast on most systems. Furthermore, it stores the results of previous computations, so future evaluations can be more efficient. End-to-end performance may not be possible in real time, however, because typesetting the recognized expression can be quite slow. If your system cannot keep up with your writing, write slower, and wait for the system to finish typesetting the expression before writing the next stroke.
The other forms of output are LaTeX, a text-based markup language for typesetting documents, and MathML, an XML extension for mathematical expressions. MathML, incidentally, is not supported by the major browsers yet.
The control bar contains menus which set two parameters that effect the recognition an expression. The first of these is the Rejection Threshold. The system uses this parameter to determine whether or not to reject a stroke or set of strokes as being unrecognizable. If it is set to a low value, then most strokes will be rejected as unrecognizable. If it is set to a high value, the it will try to assign an interpretation to most strokes. If it is turned off, then the system will attempt to interpret every stroke. Rejected strokes are drawn in red.
The second engine parameter is the Combination Weighting. Without going into too much detail, the combination weighting determine how much the engine favors combine strokes into multi-stroke symbols over interpreting them as single stroke symbols. A high weighting will make it easier for multiple strokes to be combined into a single symbol, while a lower value will favor interpreting the strokes individually.
Currently, there are two set of symbol models available, those computed from a single writer and those computed from a number of writers. The multi-user models should be more reliable for most people, but they are only used on the digits, binary operators, and certain lowercase letters.
Canvas Options is a menu which can be used to select which auxillary information is drawn on the canvas.
These items are provided to visualize certain aspects of the recognition algorithm, and may be turned on and off without effecting the underlying expression. By default, all of these items are turned off except Draw Symbol Boxes.

Received this hilarious bit of fanart (and Ritz Bros. reference!) from gothold:
Took me a while to get the pun, but it was hilarious when I did! lol
Yeah the pun comes from a old Ritz Bros. film short from the 1930's. Their humor was subtle.

My primary research interest involves clinical investigation towards improving perioperative analgesia using regional anesthetic techniques. Towards this end, I earned a Masters Degree of Medical Sciences in Clinical Investigation (supported by an NIH K30 award). Following this, I acquired a Mentored Research Training Grant from the Foundation of Anesthesia Education and Research and a K23 Mentored Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health. The goals of this research were to determine the relationship between ambulatory continuous peripheral nerve blocks and various clinically-relevant postoperative endpoints following total joint arthroplasty. Towards this end, I assembled and direct the PAINfRE group of investigator(<http://www.painfre.com/>www.PAINfRE.com) which design and implement multicenter clinical trials involving ambulatory perineural local anesthetic infusion. I currently serve as the Chair for Clinical Research for the Division of Regional Anesthesia, and currently manage 8 open IRB-approved clinical studies as well as mentor regional anesthesia fellows and junior faculty

Cloud storage is nothing special these days where it is just another storage which it is only accessible via the internet.
The question is always whether is it necessary to use the cloud storage?
From my point of view, the cloud storage is necessary today because more and more property are stored in digital format.
Photos for example, the main source used to be some sort of a film but today, it is in digital.
Music used to be in CD and cassette but today, MP3 is the way to go.
[Read: Is it risky to go for cloud computing storage?]
So, there is no way that we deny that the trend is going to digital today and having a backup copy is necessary.
While backing up those data into media such as CD and DVD is a good idea, but who can guarantee that the media does go defective physically 10 years down the road?
That is why cloud storage had become a necessity today and here are some good things about them:
- You don't need hardware.
- You don't need to maintain.
- You don't need to think of scalability.
- You don't need to think of backup.
Although it is such a feature rich storage media, it should not be treated as your main storage.
[Read: Cloud Computing Security Considerations]
What if one day, the cloud storage provider goes bankrupt and all your data stored will be completely gone.
As a result, there should always be a backup copy locally in order to maximize the capability of cloud storage.
My advice is, if you are going to go for any cloud storage provider to store your data, be sure you have another source of backup copy and always ensure that the copy that you kept at the cloud is a backup of your the backup.

Pulino's Just Might Deserve (and Survive) The Hype
Pulino's Bar & Pizzeria | 282 Bowery St. (just off Houston St.) | 917.289.9357 | on MenuPages
AS A NATIVE New Yorker, I afford myself a little cynicism. And with the amount of press and breathe that's been expended on behalf of the new venture between Keith McNally and Nate Appleman in the foodie universe, I approached the task of visiting this venture with much apprehension.
The name of the place is called Pulino's Bar & Pizzeria, and if you are not aware of the wattage in the aforementioned names (McNally has opened NYC staples Pravda, Balthazar, "best burger" joint, Minetta Tavern, among others; Appleman has earned his James Beard Award-winning pedigree in his San Francisco hotspot, A16), I can best liken that ideology's appeal to a movie fan hearing that Indie darling Ryan Gosling was assigned to star in a Martin Scorcese film.
And just like that announcement's hope to fill seats—at least on opening weekend, the hope has been that this may be the new New York City go-to, or must-go-to, establishment. The equivalent of Movie of the Year, at least on paper.
And so this "pizzeria and bar" (does New York City need yet another one?!) opened up for breakfast (?!) and lunch last Monday, and finally for dinner Monday morrow. Having followed the numerous food related website posts—and posts about other websites' posts, and the consequential meta posts tsunamis—I finally divined that I could go downtown and check it out this morning, for brunch, less than an hour after the had opened.
This assured that I miss than oft-writ about maddening crowds of avid foodies and bloggers with cameras (of which I would be one, of course!), affording the management, kitchen, floor staff their full week to work out their kinks, offering me a better opportunity to enjoy the dining experience they intended me to.
Lucky enough, it was still warm enough for them to open their walled bay windows to let in some welcomed spring air sunshine.
Being a "party of one" (most of my friends are not up at 10 a.m.), i was sat at a small 2-top, thankfully by the open doors,as I enjoyed how the sunlight added a more inviting feel to the already warm and homey interior. The high ceilings, accented by bottles of alcohol stacked on shelves likes books in a library, helped open the room, making me forget that I was within an arm's reach of the tables within my periphery.
Customers at orbiting tables seemed to be happily in their own world as well.
I already knew I would be order one of the individual, egg-based pizzas (Pizze & Uova). I had forgotten however that they also serve many other attractive-looking non-pizza items, so I ventured, first, to try the Ham & Cheddar option of their scone (the others being Bitter Chocolate and Orange & Cranberry).
Nice! Aromatic, slightly warmed, more biscuity than cakey n texture (as it should be), with nice bites on smokey ham and finishing with the eventually noticeable taste of cheddar.
Breadstuffs fill me quickly, so I only finished about two-thirds of the sconce to save room for my individual Salsiccia pizza, topped with with bacon, sausage and white cheddar, subconsciously insisted on maintaining an egg, ham & cheese theme throughout my meal.
One of my extremely attentive servers asked if I would care for chili oil to accompany my pizza. I thought what a rare if not completely novel option, and answered, yes. (The staff was so friendly and attentive that I started to worry that my eating alone and taking random photos of the space and the food was making them react as if I was a much more important and influential foodie or food critic or blogger than I presently am...!)
My pizza came out quick, hot, and smelling wonderful; after a heavy drizzle of their chili oil, I dove right in.
I took my time with the first bite, wanting to make sure I was able to appreciate everything this collection of flavors and textures had to order. The crust was thin, crispy, airy in the edge's small bubbles, with slight hints of charcoal-y goodness. folding well and chewing well, without being to dry and crumbly or rubbery. The sausage was more sweet than spicy—preferable for breakfasts I gather—but had plenty of both and was countered nicely by the cracklin', salty, thicker-sliced bacon, likewise crisped on its edges. The white cheddar added a little extra body and sharpness on top of the smooth, stringy fresh mozzarella. The chili oil added just the right amount of heat and kick to start the morning off right for someone who doesn't drink coffee. And there was just enough crust left over to sop up all of the unavoidable runoff of that warm, oozy, velvety egg yolk!
After that first bite, the rest went down very quickly and happily. Since I've vowed to not even get remotely into "Bests" lists—I've found them frivolous and self-congratulatory for those whose names wind up in those lists and consequential bold print—I can comfortably say the quality in taste and execution of my particular pie, this particular day, gives me good cause to impel my friends to try this place out, offering to be their guests or invite them to be guests, or comminglers, of mine. The place has an overall great vibe, nice energy (I'm curious as to the peak hour atmosphere), and the other dishes, pizza or not, did look quite appetizing.
My New York City cynicism usually prepares me for my fellow NYers' cynicism about a place that gets this much attention in the foodie universe. The "backlash", as it's presently called, and further still "backlash to the backlash". But eventually you have to give McNally some credit. I've liked—if not raved about—the food at Pravda and Balthazar, and frequented those for many years regardless. Pulino's will have its heralders—and, I'm sure, some detractors—but longer after fanfare, discussions and debates have subsided and been forwarded to the new "next big thing", people will be squeezing in rezys and inviting their friends to grab a bite and a beer here with them.
I've already invited mine...!
Bun Apple Tea!
