text: Dunbar council raises annual salary for city manager By Staff reports February 4, 2013 DUNBAR, W.Va. -- Dunbar City Council members agreed Monday to raise the annual salary of the city manager by $500 starting in July, Mayor Jack Yeager said.Currently, Yeager acts as both city manager and mayor. A new mayor will step in starting in July, and could accept both roles or ask council members to hire a city manager.Yeager said last month he would not run for re-election this year.Altogether, the new mayor would get a $2,500 pay increase and, if acting as city manager, a $3,000 total raise, Yeager said. That would increase the mayor's salary from $38,000 to $41,000. Last month, council members also approved a $3,000 raise for the city clerk, from $36,000 to $39,000.Also at Monday's council meeting, City Council members passed an ordinance on first reading that would assess a fee for vacant buildings. Council must take up the proposed ordinance at another meeting. The idea behind the fee is that if a building is occupied, it generates some kind of revenue for the city, Yeager said. But vacant buildings still need attention from the city, he said.The ordinance, which is similar to ones on the books in Charleston and Wheeling, could help cut down on the number of vacant buildings in Dunbar and act as a deterrent. Also Monday, council members approved an automated response agreement with the city of South Charleston that would have emergency officials from each city helping those in the other with fires and other emergency calls.For instance, if a fire is reported at Thomas Memorial Hospital in South Charleston, Dunbar firefighters would respond immediately, Yeager said.Likewise, South Charleston firefighters and other emergency crews would immediately respond to certain calls in Dunbar.

Recently we've seen a push by the government and even private industry to find a way to stop spam. Here's my idea:
All spam I get is advertisement for a product or service. Instead of wasting time trying a way to stop the spam from reaching the masses why don't they just severly penalize the company or product that's being advertised? It seems to me that they are going about it all wrong trying to find ways of filtering out the unwanted email. I think the better solution is to go after the companies that utilize it. Right there on the email is the contact information. If Joe Blow is trying to sell everyone a new mortgage rate then go after him. If he's sick of being fined a large amount for every infraction then he'll stop using spam email as a method of email.
Mr. Spam Sender will be out of business if companies don't want to be fined for using that type of service.


text: How Many Strips of Packing Tape Do You Need To Lift a Car?Andrew Liszewski4/08/13 4:20pmFiled to: TapeOffice SuppliesVsaucewatch this17EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink So you've got yourself a car that needs lifting, and have secured an industrial crane for the job, but did you also remember to get a giant harness for the lift? Probably not. Don't worry, though, as long as you can scrounge a few rolls of cellophane packing tape, you're good to go. Advertisement Vsauce teamed up with some of the lads from Fast Furious & Funny to see just how much packing tape would be needed to lift a 3,000+ pound Ford Mondeo. Surprisingly, just 70 strips of tape were needed to get it off the ground. So it turns out that duct tape isn't the only member of the adhesive family with remarkable durability, but it's still the ugliest. [YouTube via The Awesomer]Reply17 repliesLeave a reply

Many months may pass before Tucson-area shooting suspect Jared Loughner returns to court to stand trial. He may never.
With a judge's ruling Wednesday that the 22-year-old is not competent to understand the charges against him or the legal proceedings in federal court, doctors will try to restore Loughner's mental faculties.
U.S. District Judge Larry Burns, after reviewing two independent evaluations, ruled that the suspect in the Jan. 8 shooting rampage near Tucson is schizophrenic, paranoid and delusional.
Restoring a schizophrenic suspect to competency is possible, depending on the severity of the illness, experts say. But once diagnosed with mental illness, many suspects in high-profile crimes never face trial.
Schizophrenia is a common and misunderstood illness. Generally, schizophrenics cannot filter out sights and noises, and the overstimulation muddles their thinking.
A cocktail of drugs to calm the mind has proved effective, making schizophrenia more treatable than many mental illnesses. How well Loughner will respond to treatment is hard to gauge until the mental evaluations are unsealed.
Roughly half of schizophrenics who have been untreated respond well to the proper mix and dosage of medications, said Abigail Donovan, who treated such patients for five years at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital.
"Improvement can take weeks to months," she said. "A small percentage never does."
Retired FBI profiler Mary Ellen O'Toole said the case of Brian David Mitchell, convicted in the 2002 kidnap and rape of Utah girl Elizabeth Smart, is the only one she recalls in which a defendant was initially determined to be incompetent but later found competent to be tried in court.
In 2005 and 2006, Mitchell was deemed unfit for trial in state court because he had delusions. One court-ordered psychiatrist said Mitchell was paranoid schizophrenic. Later, another psychiatrist found that Mitchell was faking his condition to avoid prosecution. His trial began last fall. On Wednesday, a federal judge sentenced Mitchell to life in prison for his crimes.
Unabomber Ted Kaczynski was found paranoid schizophrenic but also competent to stand trial. Before the trial could fully get under way, he pled guilty amid arguments with his defense lawyers. Kaczynski bristled at being portrayed as insane, the cornerstone of his defense team.
John Hinckley, accused in the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan in 1981, was acquitted by a jury on grounds of insanity.
Psychiatrists gave conflicting evaluations, but three had labeled him psychotic. Hinckley was motivated by an infatuation with actress Jodie Foster. He thought he could impress her by re-enacting the drama in her film "Taxi Driver."
Another FBI profiler, Kathleen Puckett, who assessed Kaczynski, said it's hard to tell if Loughner can be rehabilitated.
"Everybody responds differently to the medicines. It's like migraine medication," she said.
The degree to which Loughner can recover depends on the depth and range of his illness.
Donovan said the younger people become afflicted, the harder their recovery. Another factor is how long he went untreated. Both factors suggest a long rehabilitation for Loughner, as there is no indication he has undergone any extended mental-health treatment.

Ireland, Republic of HistoryAfter the establishment by treaty with Great Britain of the Irish Free State (Jan., 1922), civil war broke out between supporters of the treaty and opponents, who refused to accept the partition of Ireland and the retention of any ties with Britain. The antitreaty forces, embodied in the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and led by Eamon De Valera, were defeated, although the IRA continued as a secret terrorist organization. William Cosgrave became the first prime minister. De Valera and his followers, the Fianna Fáil party, agreed to take the oath of allegiance to the British crown and entered the Dáil in 1927. In 1932, De Valera became prime minister, and under his administration a new constitution was promulgated (1937), establishing the sovereign nation of Ireland, or Eire, within the Commonwealth of Nations. De Valera's policies aimed at the political and economic independence and union of all of Ireland. The loyalty oath to the crown was abolished, and certain economic provisions of the 1921 treaty with England were repudiated, leading to an "economic war" (1932–38) with Britain. During World War II, Eire remained neutral and vigorously protested Allied military activity in Northern Ireland. The British were denied the use of Irish ports, and German and Japanese agents were allowed to operate in the country. Some 60,000 Irish citizens, however, volunteered to serve with the British armed forces, including some 7,000 who deserted from the Irish army. The people of Eire suffered relatively little hardship during the war and even profited from increased food exports. The postwar period brought a sharp rise in the cost of living and a decline in population, due in great part to steady emigration to Northern Ireland, Great Britain, and other countries. In 1948, Prime Minister Costello demanded total independence from Great Britain and reunification with the six counties of Northern Ireland. The Republic of Ireland was proclaimed on Apr. 18, 1949. The country withdrew from the Commonwealth and formally claimed jurisdiction over the Ulster counties. It was admitted to the United Nations in 1955. Nothing came of the claim to Ulster, and during the 1950s and 60s the republic and Northern Ireland improved their economic relations. The later decade also saw an all-time low in Irish population, 2.82 million in 1961. In the late 1960s the problem of Northern Ireland flared up again in bitter fighting between the Protestant majority and Catholic minority there, aggravated by the actions of the IRA, which was headquartered in the republic. In 1973, Erskine H. Childers succeeded De Valera as president of Ireland, and Liam Cosgrave, at the head of a Fine Gael–Labor coalition, replaced Jack Lynch, of Fianna Fáil, as prime minister. In the same year the republic joined the European Community (now the European Union). Childers died in 1974 and was succeeded by Cearbhal O. Dalaigh. Lynch led Fianna Fáil back into office in 1977; in 1979 fellow party member Charles Haughey replaced Lynch as prime minister. In 1981 a Fine Gael–Labor coalition headed by Garret FitzGerald defeated Fianna Fáil on an economic platform. Although ousted in 1982, the coalition was governing again six months later. Beginning in the late 1970s the republic's political situation was more fluid than it had been; there were several general elections and a variety of party schisms. In 1987, Haughey again became prime minister. As unemployment soared, especially among young people, outmigration increased, reaching a peak of 44,000 in 1989. During the 1990s, the economy grew significantly, buoyed by EU subsidies and new foreign investment. By the end of the decade, unemployment was below the EU average, although pockets of poverty persisted. In late 1994, after the IRA and Protestant militias agreed to a cease-fire, efforts were begun to negotiate a settlement of the the Northern Ireland issue. Despite some setbacks, agreements were reached in Apr., 1998, and approved by voters in both the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland in May. Women's issues, such as the government's strong antiabortion stance and the constitutional ban on divorce, also became a focus in the 1990s; a referendum legalizing divorce passed by a narrow margin in 1995. In 1991, Ireland elected its first female president, Mary Robinson, and in 1997 Mary McAleese became its first president from Northern Ireland. In 1992, Albert Reynolds, of Fianna Fáil, replaced Charles Haughey as prime minister, and when the governing coalition collapsed, Reynolds successfully formed another. The Reynolds government fell in 1994, and Fine Gael leader John Bruton succeeded him, heading a Fine Gael–Labor coalition. Bertie Ahern became prime minister in 1997, heading a Fianna Fáil–Progressive Democrat coalition; his coalition was returned to office in 2002. Revelations in 2006 that Ahern had received loans from business acquaintances in 1993–94 while he was finance minister and had not yet repaid them sparked controversy. Ahern said his attempts to repay them had been refused; he did repay the loans soon after they were became public. In 2007 Ahern led his party to another victory at the polls, but Progressive Democrat losses led to the addition of the Green party to the governing coalition. Investigation into Ahern's finances revealed he had received additional secret cash payments in the early 1990s, and in May, 2008, he resigned because the investigation was undermining his government. Deputy Prime Minister Brian Cowen succeeded Ahern as Fianna Fáil leader and prime minister. In June, 2008, Irish voters rejected the European Union's Lisbon Treaty amid concerns over the loss of Irish sovereignty. The Irish, who voted in a referendum because of conflicts between the treaty and the Irish constitution, were the only national electorate given a chance to vote on the treaty. A second vote on the Lisbon Treaty in Sept., 2009, following EU guarantees designed to allay Irish concerns, resulted in the treaty's approval. Ireland officially entered what became a prolonged recession in Sept., 2008, ending more than a decade of growth that had earned its economy the nickname "Celtic Tiger." By the end of 2008, the collapse of Ireland's booming property market threatened the Irish banking system, especially the Anglo Irish Bank, which was nationalized in early 2009. In Sept., 2010, the total cost of Ireland's bailout of its banking system was estimated to be ultimately In November the markets had forced Ireland to agree to an Sections in this article:

Keri Rusthoi was looking for a place where she could ride her horse and spend a winter living the ski bum lifestyle with a few college girlfriends before attending graduate school.
Good thing she chose Steamboat Springs over Jackson, Wyo.
It was the summer of 1993, and Rusthoi - who was born in Saudi Arabia, grew up in Los Alamos, N.M., and attended Colorado College - lived in a barn at the Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp. She thought she was in heaven instructing riding during the day and singing at night. But to pursue a professional singing career, she had to head to the Big Apple. While attending the Manhattan School of Music, working full time as its orchestra manager and completing a master's degree off-site from the University of New Mexico, Rusthoi found herself off the range and in sudden hysterics one evening, shocked at an absurdly packed subway car flying under the streets of the Upper West Side.
Back in Steamboat, the Emerald City Opera founder and artistic director says she now has the best of all worlds, living with her family in a spot where she can ski, ride horses and put on a world-class opera. Of course, the self-proclaimed Pisces still has her hands full. There's not a lot of time between riding horses, building a new house, raising a 2-year-old child and earning her pilot's license. And that doesn't include trips back to New York City to study under retired Metropolitan Opera staple Jean Kraft, honing her voice for a summer tour with stops across Europe. Oh, yeah - and her opera company puts on one mainstage production each summer as well as a pair of concert series, the Outstanding Artist Recital Series and the Resident Artist Spotlight Series. Rusthoi recently sat down with At Home's Dave Shively.
At Home: So what brought you back to Steamboat?
Keri Rusthoi: My horse, Trouble, died while I was living in Manhattan and it really threw me for a loop. I was so shook I was literally bumping into people on the street. I had a change of heart. First of all, I didn't really enjoy New York at the time. I had grown up just north of Sante Fe, riding my horse all day, then jumping in the shower and going to work at the Sante Fe Opera, which I did in the summers and got to see world-class opera. I always thought that horses and opera and mountains went together. Then I moved to New York and figured out they really don't.
Some of my girlfriends were still in Steamboat teaching skiing. I needed a break to figure out what was really important. So my horse died in September of '96, and I came out here two weeks later and a friend had a ranch that needed caretaking. I went from a high-rise in Manhattan to living in the middle of nowhere and snowmobiling to this ranch house down in Grouse Creek Park. But I was going to go back to New York, because I had a coach at the Met to prep me for some auditions.
AH: I take it that never happened.
KR: Well, I met the man who is now my husband pretty much the day I got here. I came out again for four days and it just so happened to be the weekend of ski instructor tryouts. My girlfriends were ski instructors, and I had learned a little bit and had gotten better over years and for some bizarre reason they hired me. My future husband, Robert Harvey, was trying out too - he was pursuing the Olympics as a freestyle skier and decided to retire. I really wanted to learn how to ski, and he is an amazing skier. I did ski instructor tryouts, went back to New York to do a Fulbright interview - which I didn't get because obviously my brain was somewhere else - and finished the semester. Two weeks later, I came back at Christmas time and have been here ever since.
AH: How did Emerald City Opera start?
KR: I grew up at the Sante Fe Opera and had amazing connections from the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra and the Manhattan School of Music. So I moved back to Steamboat from New York and there wasn't an opera company - there wasn't really anything vocal going on. On a 2001 tour in Europe - with Opera New York's "The Best of Andrew Lloyd Webber" - the management of the tour was less than desirable and one of the things that came out of it was the collaboration to do an opera. We were going to do it in New York, and because I was going to be working so hard on it, I said why don't we do it in Steamboat, too. Things progressed, and I was getting tons of help in Steamboat, but not getting any in New York. So I said fine, let's do it in Steamboat. In the process of putting on an opera, I discovered it was about the same amount of work to put on an opera as it is to start an opera company. So I started an opera company. One of things that I love about Steamboat is that if you have a great idea, everyone will get behind you and say, "Cool, let's do that." So it was easy to start the company, and it was easy in a lot of respects to do the first show ("The Magic Flute" in summer 2003).
AH: I read that the word opera means "work" in Italian. Does that ring true?
KR: It takes all year to put together one opera production. I do it year to year, whereas most opera companies are two to three years out. It's an incredible amount of work that I don't think people actually understand. On a day-to-day basis, I have five individuals I work with regularly. For the most part, we're all volunteer, but we just hired someone full time. In summer, in the middle of production, there's 100 to 150 (people) in town here for the opera that I manage.
AH: Sounds like you're telling me it's a challenge to put on an opera in Steamboat.
KR: It's actually a miracle every year. We don't have a performing arts center; we don't have any local operatic professionals; we don't have any technical professionals who know how to put up an opera; we don't have any consultants that know about opera. I have to import or train everyone. I have gotten by creating the artistic quality we create in the midst of nothing by begging friends who are artists, by begging the local businesses, by begging people to volunteer. But the truth of the matter is opera lovers are everywhere, and they come out of the closet, so to speak, and come up to me on the street and thank me. Obviously I love it, and when there is an artist in town, I remember why I work so hard all year - I love to hear them sing. I sit at the back and go, (sigh) "That's why."
AH: Is it OK for ski bums to go to operas? Do I need a three-piece suit and a monocle?
KR: A lot of people will say, "I love 'Phantom of the Opera.'" I think that's awesome, everybody can love whatever they want to love. But that's musical theater, it's not opera. What's so great about opera is the art of singing in addition to everything else we do on stage. It's multimedia, and I used to play in the orchestra so I can say this - that it's not just sitting still with a little bit of movement, reading music in front of you and making beautiful sounds. It's dance, it's costume, it's drama, it's singing, it's orchestral, it's chorus, it's everything - the lighting, the sets, there's so many elements to opera that make it so exciting. : If you're not passionately in love with opera, you just haven't seen good opera. Much like somebody who's not passionately in love with skiing might not have tried it enough.
AH: So is there potential for the local arts community?
KR: (A performing arts center) is going to happen. The arts have grown exponentially in the five years the opera has existed, and it's really at a breaking point. The community can't support much more with what we have in terms of venues. There's some really fabulous arts groups, but we're scattered and discombobulated because there is no center, and if there were, we'd have cohesion as an arts community. You know, where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, that would be true for Steamboat's arts community to bring us together.

Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park
Discovery Island
All Ages
Loud, Dark, Scary
See the world from a bug's point of view with a little help from Flik inside the great Tree of Life.
Meander along a winding pathway—past tangled roots, unfurled branches and detailed animal carvings—to the base of the Tree of Life, the symbol of Disney's Animal Kingdom park. Venture inside and receive a pair of 3D glasses before taking a seat inside the approximate 430-seat Tree of Life Repertory Theatre.
An "Off-Off Bugway" Show
Flik, the loveable ant from the Disney•Pixar film A Bug's Life, invites you and your family to become honorary creepy crawlies by donning a pair of special "bug eye" glasses and watching an exciting 3D film and live show on the survival techniques of bugs.
During the show, dodge flying quills from a tarantula, feel a harmless "acid spray" from a soldier termite and inhale the putrid "defense stench" from a stink bug. But when Hopper—the grasshopper villain from A Bug's Life—unexpectedly shows up, the theater becomes a swarm of crazy activity, led by buzzing hornets and tumbling spiders.
In the end, you'll learn "it's tough to be a bug" surely, but more importantly, that insects are our friends.
With dazzling 3D movie effects, Audio-Animatronics® figures and in-theater 4D surprises, It's Tough to be a Bug! places you in the center of the fascinating world of insects, showcasing the incredible value they add to our lives.
It's Tough to be a Bug! made its theme park debut before the hit movie on which it was based premiered.
As the concept for the attraction began at Walt Disney Imagineering, story development for the movie was well underway. At that time, the film's only designed characters were Flik and Hopper. So Imagineering—with the help of a senior entomologist at the Smithsonian Institute—hatched the remaining insect cast and fashioned a story about the survival techniques of bugs.
Because the attraction was finished before the film was complete, Flik and Hopper went on to make their very first public appearance at Walt Disney World Resort—6 months before the Disney•Pixar film A Bug's Life was even released.
It's Tough to be a Bug! may be too scary for very young children. This attraction celebrates the creepy world of bugs like spiders and termites, and some of the set pieces and scenes contain some startling subject matter.
This summer, join the Na'vi in an all-new land at Disney's Animal Kingdom park—featuring magnificent floating mountains, a bioluminescent forest and many other awe-inspiring adventures.

Carmelo Anthony (ankle) out vs. Rockets
Update 6:20 p.m.: Carmelo Anthony has been ruled out against the Rockets Monday. Chris Copeland will start for the Knicks.
Linsanity returns to the Garden on Monday night, but will Carmelo Anthony be part of the welcoming party?
After spraining his left ankle against the Lakers last Thursday, Anthony is a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Rockets.
Coach Mike Woodson told reporters that Anthony didn't participate in the team's shootaround on Monday morning.
"I don't know until we get to the game," Woodson told reporters. "I have no idea."
Anthony sat out New York's game on Saturday against the Cavaliers. Chris Copeland started in Anthony's place as Rasheed Wallace sat out with a sore foot. If Anthony is unable to go, Copeland or James White is expected to get the start again as Wallace is doubtful.
Anthony sprained the ankle when he fell awkwardly on it after a challenge at the rim from Dwight Howard. Anthony stayed in the game to shoot two free throws, but then checked out and went to the locker room, not returning to the game.
Without Melo, the Knicks are 2-1 in his absence. One win, of course, being a 20-point blowout of the Heat in Miami.

Mark's Mailbag: Bynum, Most Improved Players, and Sleeved Jerseys
by Mark Montieth | email@example.com
February 6, 2014
TweetEditor's Note: Have a Pacers-related question for Mark? Want to be featured in his mailbag column? Send your questions to Mark on twitter at @MarkMontieth or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
(The signing of Andrew Bynum) both excites and worries me. I have the confidence that the organization can handle him and know when to cut ties, BUT I just hope it doesn't cause chemistry or locker room issues in the meantime.
A. This statement summarizes the general feeling of fans, and it's a reasonable concern. You can't deny Bynum's issues with previous teams, including suspensions.
I was a little surprised the Pacers signed Bynum, but the more I thought about it the more it seemed like a no-brainer. The risk is low financially, and he can be released at any time if it's not working out for any reason. If it works out, though, it could bring a championship. How many other teams have a 26-year-old former All-Star backing up at center?
Bynum gives the Pacers three players at every position, and brings insurance against an injury. Imagine if Roy Hibbert or Ian Mahinmi were injured during the playoffs? Some people like the idea of playing David West and Luis Scola together, but that's not a good lineup for all opponents. Bynum is a luxury item for the Pacers, but comes at a bargain price.
I don't buy the argument that the Pacers should have signed him just to keep him away from another team, though. If you think he's an asset, you want him for yourself. If you think he's trouble, you would want another team to sign him.
Bynum should be motivated to be at his best with the Pacers. He needs to revive his career after sitting out a season in Philadelphia and being suspended by Cleveland. If he plays well and contributes to the Pacers' playoff success, he'll assure himself of a major contract next season. He's obviously aware of that.
I also take a wait-and-see attitude toward players with "reputations." I've met a lot of athletes and coaches in my career, and some of them aren't what the general public believes them to be. It can get complicated. Some guys are immature, but good teammates and well-liked in the locker room, therefore worth whatever problems they bring. Other guys have great reputations, but aren't well-respected by teammates. Perhaps they're selfish, or phony, or a little lazy.
With Bynum, it's just a matter of seeing how it works out. If it doesn't go well, he can be released with no long-term harm. If it goes well, he can take them to another level. He's in the perfect place for him, with a team that will absorb him rather than build around him. It takes pressure off him, but brings great opportunity as well.
Q. Didn't (Larry) Bird say at the beginning of the season if the Pacers don't win it, turnovers will be the culprit?
-Scott (via Twitter)
A. I don't recall whether he said that or not, but it wouldn't be surprising. He has made a point of mentioning turnovers in more recent interviews, and it's an obvious issue for the team.
The Pacers rank 19th in the NBA in turnovers, averaging 15.3 per game. It's not necessarily a guarantee of postseason failure. Miami and Oklahoma City, two other title contenders, average more. But the Pacers have been sloppy lately, with Paul George and Lance Stephenson the worst offenders. George sometimes gets careless, while Stephenson takes too many chances.
The Pacers have outperformed their opponents in virtually all other statistical categories this season. They have shot better from everywhere, dominated the boards, passed out far more assists and had more blocked shots. But they have committed 38 more turnovers than their opponents. So many of their turnovers lead to fastbreak points for the opponent, so it's an area of concern.
On the other hand, as I write this, they are 38-10. So, their problems qualify as "first-world" problems. Like your cell phone call dropping out.
Q. Hey Mark, I need your help. I know Lance Stephenson is a top candidate for the NBA's Most Improved Player award this year. However, outside of Paul George, I don't know the competition. Can you give Pacers' fans some other contenders to watch out for the rest of the season?
A. Right now, I'd say New Orleans' Anthony Davis is the leading candidate for the award, with Stephenson in second place. Sportswriters vote on the award, so I don't think they're likely to be as bothered by Stephenson's oncourt reactions as perhaps the coaches who voted on All-Star reserves.
Davis set himself up for improvement by having an injury-plagued rookie season. He's playing about eight more minutes per game this season, and has raised his scoring average from 13.5 to 20.4, his rebounding average from 8.2 to 10.5 and his blocked shots average from 1.8 to a league-leading 3.4.
Stephenson, by comparison, has raised his scoring average from 8.8 to 14.1, his rebounding average from 3.9 to 7.2 and his assists average from 2.9 to 5.3. He's shooting better, too, and is "only" playing six more minutes per game, so it goes beyond simply getting more time.
Phoenix point guard Eric Bledsoe was a leading contender for the award, but his injury will eliminate him. He's improved his scoring average from 8.5 to 18, but played just 24 games before he was injured.
Another legit candidate is former Pacers forward Miles Plumlee. He averaged 0.9 points last season as a rookie, but averages 9.4 now. I don't think he'll be taken too seriously as a candidate because his playing time has skyrocketed, from 3.9 to 27.4, and he's not a prominent player. Still, that's an impressive jump – one that quiets all the people who were calling him a bust last season.
I've seen Gerald Green's name tossed about for Most Improved as well, because his scoring average has jumped from the 7 points he averaged with the Pacers last season to 13.7 with the Suns. But, in order for him to make that jump he had to de-improve first. He averaged 12.9 with the Nets two seasons ago, but dropped off dramatically last season with the Pacers.
Q. When is Vogel going to get the Pacers to play end-of-quarter defense? They've given up a TON of buzzer beaters, mostly 3's.
-John (via Twitter)
A. I don't believe their end-of-quarter defense is any worse than at other points in the game. Those shots tend to stand out more than others. I haven't researched this, but that's my impression.
Some coaches, especially in college, like to put greater emphasis on certain parts of the game, but I've never understood that. Bob Knight used to say the first five minutes of the second half are the most important of the game, and other coaches sometimes went along with that. Gene Keady used to make a big deal of not allowing the opponent to score at the end of the half, believing it gave it momentum heading into the break. But, coaches always call timeouts to stop an opponent's momentum. Doesn't the halftime break accomplish the same thing?
All baskets count the same, regardless of when they come in the game.
Q. Do you think the Pacers have lost some passion as the season's gone on or that people circle them on the calendar cause they're #1?
-Jon (via Twitter)
A. The Pacers have struggled some recently. Their defense hasn't been quite as aggressive, and the offense hasn't been as sharp. Paul George in particular has been in a shooting slump.
The few weeks leading up to the All-Star game are typically difficult for NBA teams. They've played a lot of games, but have a long way to go. Once they get back from the All-Star break, the days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer (hopefully) and the end of the season is in sight. That tends to life everyone's mood.
The Pacers recently lost three-of-five games, including a home game to Phoenix. They followed that with three straight wins. So if that's their lull, good for them.
Q. Hey, Mark. A lot of NBA teams are converting to the sleeved jerseys. I personally don't like them, but do you think the Pacers will convert in the future?
A. Ah, sleeved jerseys. I liked them as a kid, when a few college teams wore them. The University of Evansville was famous for them back when Arad McCutcheon coached there. Their nickname was Purple Aces, so naturally they wore orange uniforms. They also wore long, shiny capes of different colors, instead of warmups. He was funny that way.
I don't like them in the NBA, however. The form-fitting "shirts" don't look natural to me. Maybe I'm getting too old to appreciate change, but I doubt it. Most people think of me as an eternally hip kind of guy, always keeping up with the times.
NBA uniforms have gotten a little crazy, with the short sleeves, retros and all the different T-shirts players are made to wear to promote various causes. I'm starting to long for simpler times, when teams wore one uniform style and had no more than three colors. A uniform should mean something, and remain consistent to build identity. Of course the plan is to sell merchandise, and as long as it works, teams will come up with new looks. That includes short sleeves, but I don't see any NBA team going to that full-time.

Opinions, Context & Ideas from the TPM Editors TPM Editor's Blog
Duke Cunningham, Prison Reformer
Josh, I don't wish to sound like a hard-hearted prick, but the hard-hearted
prick in me doesn't cut Duke much slack.Why, oh why do conservatives over and over again demonstrate little to no empathy for their fellow man until they themselves are humbled? And even then... their empathy is limited only to those in their own predicament.
Take Dick Cheney (please). This man is quite tolerant of homosexuality (for a Republican), because he has a gay daughter. But in every other way, he is almost the definition of a hard-liner in both foreign and domestic affairs: pro SS privatization; anti-social safety net; and pro-torture.
Rush Limbaugh is infamous for the harsh things he said about drug users... until he was discovered to be one himself. Perhaps now he has the good sense not to talk about drug enforcement... but does anyone believe that Rush's experience and expensive rehab made him in any other way a gentler, more considerate person?
And now there's Duke Cunningham who has suddenly become a bleeding-heart on prison conditions and the criminal justice system.
This says a lot about the nature of the kind of people who tend to be political conservatives; that is, they are solipsistic and selfish to some degree or another, significantly more so than the average person.
When I hear that Duke has developed less absolutist positions on Social Security or taxes or the social safety net or the plight of the middle class or any of several other issues which may not directly affect him, then I might believe that he's a 'changed person'.
Otherwise, he's just being a forceful advocate for his own current position, and nothing more.

These guys should stay in confinement for being guilty of stupidity

ADA Info
What are you reading this summer? Do you have some titles tucked away in gleeful anticipation of curling up in a quiet spot and loosing yourself for a long while? No matter your location I hope you have books, lots of them. At all times I have multiple books going. I'm always listening to one in my car and have several stashed in different locations so I am covered no matter where I am. It takes a lot of books to feed this hobby of mine. I tell my husband I have to read for professional development, but I don't think he really buys it. This summer I have been listening to Linda Howard's novels in my car, I don't care which story you pick they are all fantastic. I recently read a new for me author, Lauren Dane, who just sizzles! I read her Brown Siblings series and believe me I will be reading more of her stories. I also just finished reading Kat Martin's Raines of Wind C
I love Maya Banks' books and I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak at her newest in The Montgomery's and Armstrong's series, Highlander Most Wanted, and it did not disappoint.

Directed Energy Weapon Downs Mosquitos 428
wisebabo writes "Nathan Myhrvol demonstrated at TED a laser, built from parts scrounged from eBay, capable of shooting down not one but 50 to 100 mosquitos a second. The system is 'so precise that it can specify the species, and even the gender, of the mosquito being targeted.' Currently, for the sake of efficiency, it leaves the males alone because only females are bloodsuckers. Best of all the system could cost as little as $50. Maybe that's too expensive for use in preventing malaria in Africa but I'd buy one in a second!" We ran a story about this last year. It looks like the company has added a bit more polish, and burning mosquito footage to their marketing.

The TF approved by Florida's Legislature under Florida Statute 1009.24. This paragraph states " (s) a technology fee of up to 5 percent the tuition per credit hour, beginning with the fall term of 2009-2010 academic years. The revenue from this fee shall be used to enhance instructional technology resources for students and faculty. The technology fee shall not be included in any award under the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program. "Beginning on May 4, 2009 the TF was approved by the Florida A&M University Board of Trustees effective the fall term of the 2009 - 2010 academic year.
The TF will not be covered by some forms of Financial Aid, including Bright Futures Scholarship Awards. However, students should check their specific Financial Aid packages to verify what expenses are covered for them.
The TF's primary objective is to provide funding to improve the overall technological infrastructure for students in classroom and distance learning settings, research, and teaching. Additionally, the TF objectives are to support computer and telecommunication services including, but not limited to: student computer labs, software, technology support services, and server facilities.
Accepted projects will benefit the student body and campus community as a whole. All accepted projects will be reviewed by the President or Provost for final approval. Accepted projects will be accepted based on need and how well that need is met.
The TF funds will be collected with tuition and other fees each semester. Money generated from the TF will be managed by the Enterprise Information Technology (EIT) Division. The fees will be maintained in a separate account to provide internal control for tracking and reporting. The tracking of this account will be used to report back to the FAMU Board of Trustees and the State of Florida. The TFC will manage and oversee the implementation of funds and provide make recommendations fee changes within the rules set by TF regulations.
The Technology Fee funds will be prioritized and approved if the project proposal provides technology that is directly used to enhance the student's overall academic learning environment through improvements in technology resources. Funding disbursement is recommended by the TFC and approved by the President or Provost.
All project proposals will be due at a specified date at the beginning of every semester- fall and spring. The project proposals process and TF Project Proposal Form can be under the Project Proposals Process Page. Return to Top
Project proposals are submitted and received by TFC for evaluation. Proposals will be reviewed for proposal completion and project need. Once the TFC completes its evaluation of proposals, the proposal will be reviewed by the President or Provost.
The Internal and External University community including departments, college or schools, students, and groups can submit a proposal.
Yes, EIT can provide assistance in preparing proposals. Please contact Ms. Samuels at (850) 599-3560 for further assistance.
TFC's responsibility is to review project proposals and make recommendations to the President and Provost. The committee meets at least two to three times per semester. Return to Top What is the project proposals criteria?
The project proposals criteria are outlined under the Guiding Principles and Procedures page.
The funds will rolled forward on an on-going basis from year to year if the approved projects do not exhaust all funds collected.
Proposals will be submitted each semester and projects will be approved based on need. The TFC anticipates that instances may occur where an improvement opportunity may be identified after projects have been approved for the semester. As a result, a planned reserve will allow the TFC the ability to respond to new opportunities in a time-sensitive manner without waiting until the next approval cycle.

The big story in The New York Times on November 20, 1985, concerned Hurricane Kate's advance as it smashed into northern Cuba and the Florida Keys before barreling north to threaten the Gulf Coast. But another big story -- for the technology world -- was about to unfold thousands of miles away in Las Vegas, where the Comdex trade show was getting under way.
Apple had grabbed headlines a year earlier with the introduction of its graphical Macintosh. Now, after two years of delays, Microsoft was finally ready to debut the much-promised Microsoft Windows.
Ford's Edsel arguably received better reviews.
Computer reviewer Erick Sandberg-Diment wrote in his column that "running Windows on a PC with 512K of memory is akin to pouring molasses in the Arctic." That critique was one of many describing the product as an unadulterated flop.
This was just a momentary setback for Microsoft, which shrugged off the initial embarrassment. (Tandy Trower, the product manager charged with shipping Windows. 1.0 offers a great write-up here about the history of how the company labored to get things right.) Unfortunately for Microsoft, Windows 2.0 wasn't much better than Windows 1.0. However, by the time the third incarnation of Windows came out, in 1990, Microsoft had a clear winner.
Related stories
It also caused a rancorous split with longtime partner IBM, which had its hopes on another graphical user operating system for PCs it co-developed with Microsoft called OS/2. But Bill Gates stuck with his vision and Windows became a veritable money machine that would create billions of dollars in wealth for Microsoft and its investors.
To this day, you'll still hear Microsoft critics complain that the various flavors of Windows through the years have never come close to offering the simplicity or elegance of the Mac operating system. (You'll hear a similar refrain from many OS/2 diehards.) I'll leave that one for a bar stool debate. With the benefit of 20-20 hindsight, however, this much is clear: Windows 1.0 was a flop. But it also was the embodiment of a technology vision which would create a tech empire.

Planned Parenthood march against Obamacare repeal
"With this disaster of a bill dead and buried, I hope that we can get to work."
Dave Rice 6:30 p.m., March 24
I tend to be a purist when it comes to my burgers. Salt and pepper only, medium rare. That's not to say I don't like toppings. Cheese, onions, even a fried egg gets the okay. Boomerangs Gourmet Burger Joint in Clairemont sets that whole notion on its ear. Boomerangs wants to fiddle with my sensibilities and put stuff in my burger too.
Walk into Boomerangs, and the first thing you'll see is a flight of stairs. It's built into an old house, and the bar and main dining room are upstairs. It's bright, sunny and cheerful. There's local art on the walls — the current featured artist is Mark Smith.
John and I sit at the bar and order a couple of Green Flash Hop Head Reds ($5.50) from Jose, our host, bartender and server. Jose gives us the lowdown on the menu — burgers are made to order, fresh Black Angus beef, hand-pattied, and come with three add-ins, cheese, and a side. I get a 1/3 lb. burger with bacon, red onion and mushroom mix-ins, gouda, and a side of garlic peppered fries ($9.99). John's choices are mushrooms, artichoke hearts and jalapeños, cheddar, and onion rings.
The burgers are delivered quickly, and my medium rare really is medium rare, which is, shall we say, a rarity. The mix-ins are good, they add to the flavor without overwhelming the rich, beefy taste of the meat. Smooth, melty gouda, fresh, crisp lettuce, tomato, a thin slice of red onion, and pickle chips are perfect accompaniments. The fries are regular cut, with skins on. They could have been hotter — they weren't freshly dropped, but they're still pretty good, with lots of roasted chopped garlic and black pepper. Anyway, I ate all of them.
John's burger comes out medium, just how he ordered it. The onion rings are really good, thick cut, panko breaded, well seasoned, with a fine shake of thyme and oregano in the crispy, crunchy coating.
Boomerangs also does the "build your own" thing with several other menu items, including appetizers, salads, specialty sandwiches, mac and cheese, and adult (read: boozy) iced teas.

I saw that mac and cheese on the menu - it sounds great. The "adult" iced teas look interesting too! We loved chatting with Jose at the bar.

I'm finally ready to release BabelExt into the wild. It's not a huge amount of code, and it's not a monumental achievement in terms of "programming" – but what I do believe is that it lowers the barrier to entry to browser extension development for a lot more people.
There are two key purposes for BabelExt:
1) Providing a boilerplate / abstraction layer that allows for cross-browser extension development for Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari. This boilerplate is (at least currently) strongly geared toward "content scripts" – the sorts of modifications you'd see from tools like Greasemonkey.
2) Providing a quick means of converting most Greasemonkey userscripts (anything you'd find on userscripts.org) into a legitimate browser extension. There are a few caveats here, but the vast majority of simple userscripts should "just work" if pasted into a BabelExt boilerplate.
When it comes to Greasemonkey type development, the transition to writing extensions can be a bit tricky. Simple tasks like opening a new tab or making a cross domain httprequest require a little bit more know-how and research, because your content script needs to communicate with a background process in order to do these things (for security reasons, primarily). BabelExt handles all of this for you.
Here are a few examples of simple tasks you can accomplish with BabelExt:
Storing data for later retrieval:
BabelExt.storage.set(key, val, function() { alert('value set successfully'); });
Grabbing that data:
var val = BabelExt.storage.get(key, function(returnData) { alert('variable val set to value: ' + returnData.value); });
Opening a new tab, and choosing to open it in the background (unfocused):
BabelExt.tabs.create('http://www.google.com', true);
Creating a new notification (desktop in Chrome and Firefox, browser bar in Opera and Safari), with support for icons, as well:
BabelExt.notification.create( 'Some title', 'Some stuff I really want to tell you about because it is important', 'http://example.com/icon.png' );
Adding a URL to the browser's history (note: only Chrome supports this natively – a tricky iFrame hack is used for other browsers) – this sort of thing is useful for extensions like HoverZoom that show you an image without forcing you to leave the page. It allows you to add those image URLs to the browser's history:
BabelExt.history.add(url, function(url) { alert('url added to history: ' + url); });
Adding CSS to the page:
BabelExt.css.add('BODY { margin: 0; padding: 0}'); BabelExt.css.add('.someClass { border: 1px solid red; }'); BabelExt.css.render();
In the future, more functionality may be added to BabelExt. For now, I'd like to get it in the hands of some developers and see just how they use it and where it may be limiting. I'd love to hear your feedback!
- Hey Steve: We haven't had too many problems. Its been really great so far. Shoot …
- That's great Mike, thanks for letting me know! I have been so busy I haven't gotten around to writing …
- We're planning to use this for our cross browser extension (currently a Chrome only one) at http://gijit.co. Thanks for writing this …

Television & Film
Workshop Certifies Students to Work on Movie Crews
Junior Zach Drescher says he knew American University would prepare him for a job in the film industry. What he didn't expect is that AU would provide him a chance to work on the D.C.-based production of Transformers 3 while still in school.
"This is a great way to work a couple days a month and gain insight into the industry," Drescher said during a break in a free, day-long workshop sponsored by the D.C. Office of Motion Pictures and Television Development and held at AU. The production assistant (PA) training qualified more than 50 students, alumni and D.C. residents to work on the set of television and film projects including the upcoming filming of Dreamworks Transformers 3. It was led by PATS, (Production Assistant Training Seminar, LLC) a California-based company owned by Gary Fiorelli, an assistant director on the television series Saving Grace and the Pirates of the Caribbean films who got his start in the industry as a production assistant in D.C.
The workshop is the result of a partnership between AU's School of Communication and the D.C. film office. The training helps make D.C. an even more attractive shooting location by expanding its pool of qualified workers.
"After L.A. and N.Y., D.C. is the largest center of film and television production in the country," said Prof. John Douglass, director of SOC's Film and Media Arts Division. "Having the training here is very exciting and very useful."
In addition to Fiorelli, the students had the chance to network with three local producers who scout locations and hire workers for shooting done in Washington, D.C. The group included Chan Claggett, who served as location manager on Body of Lies shot in D.C. in 2007; Jonathan Zurer, who worked on the series West Wing for seven seasons, and produced the Obama inaugural celebration at the Lincoln Memorial ; and Patrick Burn who was location manager for Salt, which opens this summer and assistant location manager for 20 episodes of The Wire. In addition to explaining how to be a good PA, the group gave them tips on how to build a positive reputation.
"You got to come to work big or you go home," said Fiorelli. "You do everything and anything and every meeting is an opportunity to network." Another PATS trainer, Lisa Mantoux, urged the students to be persistent. She told the story of having to hire workers on a project and getting a call every day from a young man who desperately wanted to be a PA. Finally, worn down by his repeated calls, she hired him and that was how Michael Sucsy, who won an Emmy as executive producer of the television special Grey Gardens, got his first job in the film industry.
"We hear a lot of theory and technical information from our professors who have all done a lot in the business," said Cherisse Datu, a senior. "But hearing how these people broke in and who they've worked with is great."
Graduate student Peter Kimball liked the training because he heard both the positive and negative sides of being a PA. "I thought before today that being a PA was part of paying your dues, but here I have learned that it is really good training that will be of great value in the future."

Interesting article on perception from Wired.com
I heard Zoltan thinks the square footage of the last 10 yards of a football field is actually larger than square footage of a football field between the 20's.
Which of course makes it true.
Space Emperor actually bends the space time contiuum with his awesome alien mind powers to physically make the area inside the 10yd line have a larger gravity well than the rest of the field, thus making it larger but not seeming so to our puny 3-dimensional minds.
It's all relative.
When I first read this, I thought it said "Missed Kicks Make Brian See Smaller Goalpost".
I was wondering if Brian knew something about a rule change I didn't.
Travis Dorsch ex-field goal kicker for Purdue. Was talking about doing many studies on field goal kickers during the 'due-osu game.
did the sideline reporter really say he was getting a PhD for his research on kickers?? I'm guessing it's a PhD in psychology or possibly, parapsychology.

78,xxx miles on a 3.8 2007 Pacifica. Went to clean the throttle body, but the back side of the butterfly plate was sooo heavily caked, the only way to effectively clean it was to remove the throttle body. I took it off the car and removed the plate. After soaking it in solvent and sacrubbing for a while with a rag, got it prefectly clean and reinstalled. Now, the ECT light, a lightning bolt inside backwards parenthesis )(, comes on intermittently, but fairly regularly.
When idling, it comes on for a second every 3 or 4 seconds, and the engine speed surges momentarily (a couple hundred RPMs). When accelerating, or when cruising at a decent speed (45+ mph), the light seems to stay off. But when coasting down, it sometimes comes on as the engine speed drops. It might just blink on then off, or it may stay on for several seconds. Over the course of a 25 mile drive, the car went into limp mode, with the ECT light and the traction control light illuminated. Turning the car off and restarting got rid of limp mode.
I removed the battery cable for 15 seconds and have no OBD codes. No check engine light. I thought this would force a relearn of the throttle position in case that was the problem. I'm out ideas at the moment, and I don't have a dealer around me that I feel I can trust. Help!

His photographic interests include portraits, animal portraits, unique, original or specific settings and subjects in regions or countries that he visits, as well as abstract photography.
He finished university and postgraduate education, but that actually hindered his interest in photography until he settled into his profession and reinvented his old passion.

You may be seeing red today, and a lot of it. That's because it's National Wear Red Day. Americans across the nation, including employees at Angel MedFlight, are wearing red to show their support for women's heart disease awareness.
Heart disease is the number one killer and health threat for women. The American Heart Association started the Go Red for Women movement to help women fight back against heart disease and to educate them about their health risks. According to the reports, statistics and researches, one in four American women dies of heart disease and that 90% of women have at least one health risk.
To learn if you are at risk visit the American Heart Association website.
To get involved in heart disease prevention, learn more about the Go Red for Women movement.
