Men that try to push sports on kids... what do you do?
I'm convinced that the only reason dh cares at all about sports is because it is SOOO important in his dads life. He brought dh to tons of games, made sure to watch EVERY game, if not with dh then they would talk about it later. FIL gets so mad if his team looses or makes a bad play that he flips out and it used to ruin his night (he doesn't get that upset anymore, but still, way more upset then what seems reasonable).
We now live 14 hours away from FIL and the sports teams dh grew up with. We have more important thigns to do than watch sports. I HATE sports, dh has little free time and would rather spend it working on his music now, so it's just not a part of our lives really (thank God). Like, dh will watch maybe 3 full games and listen to parts of/ or get the highlights on a handful of other games. Our kids don't really know anything about sports teams, don't care about the games, don't hear us talk about them.... I mean, sports are a total NON issue in their lives. BUT................ FIL is freaking obssessed with these teams. For Christmas and birthdays we ALL get nothing but sports merchandise (for teams that are 14 hours away from us )
FIL knows how I feel about sports/those teams, I still get merch. FIL knows we don't watch the games anymore, and that dh has many goals for his music. He could give him $ towards somethign that DH would love much more, and would use for useful creative purposes, yet he instead sends merch. The kids, don't give a flip about sports or the teams, yet they get BOMBARDED with merch. Especially ds. It's like FIL feels like the only thing about himself that he can pass on is his love of these teams.
FIL will make statements about the "mass distraction of people as a whole", by news, entertainment, commercialism, etc. I'll add to that about sports and he will AGREE, but still buys into it all. I just don't understand.
So..... my question..... what do I do? Does anyone else know people like this? What do you do?
I literally have a box FULL of new sports merch, probably equal to $250. All bought for the kids in the past year. I hate it, and filter it out as fast as I can, but I know Christmas and birthdays come around again we are doomed to have our house full of that stuff again. And he KNOWS I get rid of it. He spends SO much money on this stuff, just to have me hate it, hide it and get rid of it.
DS knows the name of the sports team (baseball. not the football team names for merch he has), other than that doesn't care a thing for the team, the games etc. But it's special to him because it came from grandpa. Makes me so sad and drives me nuts.

Re: Men that try to push sports on kids... what do you do?
Oh man that is tough and sounds like our family! We are not sports people at all. Now our youngest seems to be naturally inclinded to play and we will follow him on that. Thankfully we don't have anyone in our family that is so into it that they buy all that stuff and send it.
It's hard isn't it since it's gifts? :/ I'm wondering if approaching it like "Oh goodness don't you know the boys are so into [x] thing now?? They would love more of that.." Would that work with him?
I admit, when it comes to commercialism there are some things I don't care for but on Disney stuff [the parks and all that] I'm totally sold. That said I wouldn't get people lots of stuff if/when I knew they didn't like it.

Re: Men that try to push sports on kids... what do you do?
That is hard, especially since it is coming from grandpa. What does your DH say? Since it is his father, seems like he should be the one to approach it with his dad

Re: Men that try to push sports on kids... what do you do?
I would just continue to filter out what I could and let DS keep the things that are meaningful to him. I don't think you have to worry about your son becoming some sort of sports freak but in 50 years he may be glad he has items that he knows meant so much to his grandfather. I am not a sports fan at all but I guess I don't see it as a huge deal? It sucks he's wasting his money but it's his to waste.

Eh, my family may send our kids tons of stuff with team logos on it. I don't care, the kids wear them. They don't necessarily know what/who Rice University or the St Louis Cardinals but they know its from Grandpa or Aunt C so they like wearing it. It's not a battle worth picking in my family. I'm not picky about what or kids wear and they don't expect us to spend time watching or being a part of those teams.

My oldest DS is a huge sports fan. I'm sure it's from Dh bc I am not. Ds follows the Lakers religiously (and knows many NBA players and their teams and stats) and watches the Cowboys games with Dh who is a HUGE fan. He is also very good at sports and seems to have some talent. Ds2 and ds3 are not interested buy they wear cowboys and lakers jerseys bc that's what we have. The boys grandpa is a Cubs/Bears fan and he sends them shirts and hats and stuff and they love it. It doesn't bother me.

Re: Men that try to push sports on kids... what do you do?
Would you feel bad reselling and putting it in the kids savings? Or getting them something they'll enjoy?
We don't do any character merchandise or advertising to kids. Most of our family respects that (or they just know I'll stop at goodwill on our way home, and they don't want to waste money). But our kids do still get toys or clothes from family that go against our ethics now and then. We get rid of them and it really sucks to know that they spent their money on something that the kids won't get to enjoy. I hate that they spend their money that way, but PP is right, it's their money to spend. They know we don't keep the merchandise and there's not much else I can do. They are going to gift the way they choose, and I'm going to do what's right for our family. I do try to return it or resell and get something the kids CAN use, but it's not always worth it, so sometimes it goes to goodwill.

Re: Men that try to push sports on kids... what do you do?
Dh has talked to him and he "forgot", because a few months later we received over 15 new items for one team and a couple each for two others. I don't have a problem with reselling or getting rid of. I would rather resell because I know it's worth a lot, and we certainly can put the money towards something else, but I'm not great at making it a priority to get it done, so the items just end up sitting in a box in a closet forever. But I don't like the fact that the kids are receiving it all as gifts. I don't like the constant flow of things coming in and out of the house, I feel like it gives the kids the idea that things come and go easily, when it reality it takes a lot of time to earn the money for those things. Plus it seems like such an impersonal thing... when he knows we don't watch the games or care about the team, and they are constantly given yet another thing with the team logo.... it makes me mad. Why can't he try to give them something THEY like instead of something HE likes?

Re: Men that try to push sports on kids... what do you do?
Since you're (very valid) main concern seems to be that the gift is coming across as selfish, I vote for your DH having another talk pointing out how the gift giving is coming across. In a VERY VERY delicate manner.
Re: Men that try to push sports on kids... what do you do?
I am a big sports fan. I would never buy anyone anything team related unless they asked or I knew they were a fan. As far as pushing sports on kids I would be upset if my kids didn't at least TRY sports. Whether it be dance, gymnastics, fencing, running, football, soccer whatever. I would also be upset if they didn't TRY an instrument either. OP I totally get the grandfather FIL thing. My dad is so upset that my DS doesn't like basketball or baseball but he got over it.

If you're looking to get your family something special this year without spending a huge chunk of money, consider making them delicious food gifts. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Martha Stewart's website has a ton of great ideas on homemade food gifts. A few of my favorite selections are the caramel-almond popcorn and the brandied pears.
- Just about everyone loves fudge an a cute tin filled with this great German chocolate fudge recipe will surely bring some smiles.
- Canning is always a good call. You can make some unique jams your family can't find in stores, like this guava jam recipe. Pumpkin butter is also a great gift. And so is lemon curd.
- Pickling is also a good call, particularly if it involves foods directly from your garden. This pickled tomato recipe sounds great and doesn't require processing in a canner.
- While most Americans are wary of munching down citrus peels, a bit of these candied citrus peels will quickly change their mind, particularly if it is also filled with these beautiful candied orange slices.
- For something beautiful and incredibly simple, try combining honey, dried fruit and nuts in a clear jar.
- Food mixes allow you to give the recipient something they can make themselves without much effort. As a bonus, it's easy to make these look fun and festive.
- For those crafty enough, homemade stuffed animals are great gifts for kids and women alike.
- Homemade perfume is a unique gift that won't soon be forgotten.
- A homemade fleece blanket can be customized to match the living room it was made to adorn or the personality of the gift recipient.
Remember, you can always give a variety of these gifts as well and just put them together in a nice gift basket.

The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) this week announced that it would be hosting a contest for app developers to come up with apps for smartphones that would aid bus and subway riders, as well as drivers using the city's bridges and tunnels. As an added incentive, the top prize is $5,000, with lesser prizes going to the most creative and popular ideas, as voted on by users. The voting will take place in September.
There have already been several industrious developers who have created apps for mass transit users independent of the MTA. To its credit, the MTA recognized that there was an untapped resource out there of creative people who could help make the agency more transparent and user friendly.
Rather than immediately cut off that resource out of fear that more transparency would open the MTA up to more criticism, the MTA instead made itself more available by putting vast amounts of data on its website, such as bus routes and services statuses, to make it easier for developers to create even more apps for its users.
We think the rest of government should follow suit. Why couldn't the Department of Buildings put QR Codes on building permits posted at construction sites that residents could scan and file a complaint if they see unsafe construction practices? Or perhaps the Department of City Planning could develop an app that could use the GPS built into a smartphone to give you the zoning for a three-block radius and what is allowed, so residents can monitor out-of-scale development?
We're not app developers, but were sure the possibilities are endless.
And to his credit, Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been proactive about opening up city government and making more transparent and responsive to the residents it is supposed to serve, to varying degrees of success. We say follow the MTA's lead and try everything possible.

Oil spills have huge and immediate economic, social, and environmental impacts.
Local people lose their livelihoods as fisheries and tourism areas are temporarily closed; the clean up costs are enormous; and tens of thousands of marine animals and plants are killed or harmed.
And the damage goes on. The chemicals used to break up the oil can be toxic, and it's impossible to remove all the spilled oil. Even after an area has been cleaned up, it can take a decade or more to fully recover.
There's also the problem of the oil that goes down with the ship, which can contaminate the seabed and marine organisms.
This oil can also resurface. In 2001, a cyclone off the island of Yap in Micronesia disturbed the oil tanker USS Mississinewa, which was sunk during World War II. For two months, thousands of litres of oil and gasoline leaked out of the rusted ship wreck onto the beaches of the atoll, stopping the 700 islanders from fishing. There are hundreds of other shipwrecked tankers around the world.

The Lady Bisons finished the day the way they started it _ with a win.
In the final game of the day in the Breast Cancer Strikeout Classic at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro the Lady Bisons beat Tennessee-Martin 8-3.
"That was a fun game," said Lipscomb coach Kristin Peck. "It was definitely a total team win. I know people toss that around a lot but it truly was."
Peck kept the scorekeeper busy with changes during the game. She used three pitchers. Allison Tyree started and pitched 2.1 innings for the win. She allowed four hits, three earned runs and one walk while striking out one.
Kim Jacobson followed and threw 1.2 innings. She gave up a pair of hits, but no runs. Sara Meek closed the game out. She shut down Tennessee-Martin for three innings on three hits. She struck out four, a season high, and also walked one.
"Sara came in and really had some pop on the ball," said Peck. "It was like she was trying to prove something.
"Allison started strong, but they started stringing together some hits. We decided we needed to give them a different look. Kim had done a good job against Loyola so we brought her back in."
Pitching was not the only position where changes were made. Doe to some injury issues several changes were made defensively to begin the fifth inning. Niki Bails moved from center field to catcher. Julia Davidson switched from third base to center field. Jacobson moved from pitcher to third base.
With two outs and a runner on base Davidson made one of the most outstanding defensive plays of the game.
"Julia robbed a UT-Martin player of a two-run homer," said Peck. "She went back and made the catch and kept going through a temporary fence they had set up around the outfield. That play really fired us up again. We came in and scored two more runs."
Peck pointed to the defensive play of Heather Collins at first base.
"Even with all of the changes we had some great defensive plays," said Peck.
Tennessee-Martin jumped out to a 3-0 lead with one run in the second inning and two in the third.
The Lady Bisons exploded for six runs in bottom of the fourth after the first two batters were out. Jessica Wilson singled to center. Meek, pinch-hitting for Alysha Forsythe, singled to center. Ashley Villalpando reached base on an error by the second baseman. Wilson scored.
Kim Richards singled up the middle scoring Meek. Falon Catalano singled to center sending Villalpando across the plate prompting Tennessee-Martin to change pitchers.
Leigh Little greeted Kara Harper with a single to right that scored Richards. Bails walked. Davidson drove in Little and Catalano on a single to left to close out the scoring in the inning.
In the bottom of the fifth Meek singled to center with one out. Villalpando walked. Richards was safe on an error by the first baseman which also allowed Meek to score. Catalano grounded out to the pitcher on a sacrifice that scored Villalpando.
The Lady Bisons close out their play in the Classic Sunday morning at 9 when they face Syracuse.

Sagari's post on Vankaya Pulugura brought back many fond memories associated with it. Our way of making Pulugura was slightly different and also ingredient had few additions. I think every one cooks according to their taste. V.Pulugura was my grandmother's favorite followed by my dad's. Dad says 'it tastes yumm with a dollop of curd over it'. My dear hubby drank the left over pulugura without rice :D. He bought a bag of brinjals over the weekend and he is now 'sleeves up' for next batch of pulugura :)) Here you go with a simple yet flavorful brinjal/Vankaya Pulugura:
Brinjal : 1 big (purple brinjal was what I used, you can use which ever variety is available)
Onion : 1 big (chopped into big chunks)
Tomato: 1 big (chopped into big chunks)
Coriander Leaves : 1/2 cup (chopped)
Green Chillies : 8
Togaribele/Tuvar dal/deskinned split pigeon peas : 1/2 cup
Turmeric : 1 pinch
Tamarin Juice : 2-3 tbsp
Seasoning :
Oil : 1tbsp
Mustard seeds : 1tsp
Asafoetida/Hing : 1 pinch
Red Chillies : 1 (broken)
Curry Leaves : few
Kadalebele/chana dal : 1 tsp
Uddinbele/Urad dal : 1tsp
Pressure cook chopped brinjals, onion, tomato, chillies, coriander, toordal and turmeric with enough water. We do not add extra water at a later stage.
Once the pressure comes down, take out the vessel and run hand blender for 30 seconds or mash it using majjige kolu/with the back of the spoon. The intention is to mix the ingredients.
Add tamarind juice and salt.
Take a deep pan and heat a tbsp of oil. Add mustard seeds followed by a pinch of hing. When mustard stops crackling add red chillies, curry leaves and dals. When dals turn gold color add the mashed ingredients. Bring to boil. Check for salt, adjust if required. Switch off the stove, cover and keept it for next 10 mins till the flavors settle down.
Serve hot with rice.
I tried Carrot Malai/ Payasa from Chitra Amma's blog. I just used cashewnuts instead of almonds mentioned there. It was delicious. Thanks Chitra Amma for sharing your recipe with us.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Following a pair of strong performances at the Engineer's Cup meet over the weekend, the MIT men's and women's cross country teams received a pair of weekly honors from the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC). Benjamin Mattocks (Sharon, Mass.) was named the conference Men's Runner of the Week while Alexandra Taylor (Harbor Springs, Mich.) was tabbed on the women's side.
Taylor was instrumental in helping the Cardinal and Gray capture the team title on the women's side for the sixth year in a row. The sophomore was the first of five Tech harriers among the top seven, as she navigated the five-kilometer course 15 seconds faster than her closest competitor. Her time of 19:36 was nearly a minute faster than her previous personal best.
Mattocks was involved in an excellent duel down the stretch with Jeff Corelli of RPI but the senior was just barely outkicked at the finish. His time of 26:44 was good for a runner-up showing as MIT took home second-place honors as a team.
Both squads will be back in action next weekend, traveling to the UMass-Dartmouth Invitational on Saturday, September 17. The men's race begins at 10:30 a.m. and will be followed by the women at 12:00 p.m.

A former managing editor of the News of the World, who lives in Woodford Green, Essex, has been cleared of being part of a conspiracy dating back to 2000 and spanning six years.
Retired managing editor Stuart Kuttner was cleared along with ex-News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks.
But former No 10 spin doctor Andy Coulson, of Charing, Kent, has been found guilty of plotting to hack phones while he was editor of the News of the World.
Coulson, who was forced to resign as Prime Minister David Cameron's director of communications over the scandal, now faces the possibility of jail following the high-profile trial at the Old Bailey but the jury of eight women and three men cleared Brooks, of Churchill, Oxfordshire, of all charges.
Brooks's former personal assistant Cheryl Carter was cleared of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Brooks's husband Charlie and former NI director of security Mark Hanna were also cleared of perverting the course of justice.
But the jury is still considering further charges against Coulson and former NotW royal editor Clive Goodman, of Addlestone, Surrey, of conspiring to commit misconduct in a public office by paying police officers for two royal directories.
Mr Cameron is expected to make a "profound apology" following the conviction of Coulson who was recruited by George Osborne to head up the Tory media operation within months of resigning as News of the World editor in January 2007.
When Mr Cameron entered Downing Street the former journalist took on duties heading up the Number 10 spin operation, quitting shortly before he was arrested over the phone-hacking scandal.
A spokesman for the Prime Minister said Mr Cameron "entirely" stood by his words to parliament in July 2011, when he told MPs: "I have said very clearly that if it turns out Andy Coulson knew about the hacking at the News of the World he will not only have lied to me but he will have lied to the police, to a select committee, to the Press Complaints Commission and, of course, perjured himself in a court of law."
The partial verdicts were delivered on the jury's eighth day of deliberations and the 138th day of the trial.
Ex-No 10 spin doctor Coulson, 46, had denied all the charges as had Goodman, 56.
Brooks, 46, was cleared of hacking, misconduct in a public office for allegedly signing off payments to a Sun journalist's "number one military contact" between 2004 and 2012, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and perverting the course of justice.
Carter, 50, of Chelmsford, Essex, was cleared of perverting the course of justice by removing seven boxes from the NI archive just days before she was arrested in 2011.
Racehorse trainer Charlie Brooks, 52, of Churchill, Oxfordshire, and Hanna, 51, were cleared of perverting the course of justice around the time of police searches in July 2011.
The prosecution had alleged that because of the sheer scale of phone hacking at the NotW, Brooks, Coulson and Kuttner must have known what was going on while they were in charge.
After Clive Goodman and Glenn Mulcaire were convicted of phone hacking in 2006, all three bosses were alleged to have been involved in a cover up to keep the full extent of phone hacking secret.
Three more senior ex-NotW journalists have since admitted involvement in tasking the private detective - news editor James Weatherup, chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck, and assistant editor Greg Miskiw.
And reporter Dan Evans, who was caught hacking the phone of designer Kelly Hoppen in 2009, became a star witness by implicating 10 former colleagues, including Coulson.
Brooks was the editor when Mulcaire got his first annual contract with the paper for £92,000 in 2001 and she was still in charge in 2002 when Mulcaire hacked the phone of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler - an act which led to the eventual downfall of the Sunday tabloid.
Even though she was on holiday in Dubai at the time, the prosecution said her on-off love affair with her deputy Coulson meant they shared such confidences.
Kuttner was also implicated by the fact he told Surrey Police about the Milly voicemail himself, the prosecution alleged.
After Coulson took over the editorship in 2003 and Brooks went to the Sun, hacking really took off at the NotW, the court heard.
Goodman, 56, said it was going on on an "industrial scale", while Evans told jurors even the "office cat" knew.
A host of politicians, sports people, celebrities, and members of the royal family were targeted by NotW staff and Mulcaire.
The then Kate Middleton was hacked 155 times, Prince William was hacked 35 times and Prince Harry nine times.
Goodman claimed his former boss had personally sanctioned his Alexander Project - a separate £500 a week deal with Mulcaire to target three royal aides between autumn 2005 and spring 2006.
And Evans said he showed Coulson a voicemail from the actress Sienna Miller to Bond star Daniel Craig indicating an affair.
An email about Calum Best in which Coulson wrote "do his phone" was, the prosecution said, a direct hacking order from the boss, although there was no firm evidence that the footballer's son was a victim.
Coulson admitted he knew about a hacked voicemail from former home secretary David Blunkett declaring his love for Spectator publisher Kimberly Quinn in August 2004 - but insisted that was the only one.
The prosecution said phone records and the fact the Sun named Ms Quinn the day after the NotW published its exclusive meant Brooks knew too.
Kuttner was also implicated in December 2004 when he rang journalist Simon Hoggart to put it to him that he was having an affair with Ms Quinn as well, the court heard.
Despite bosses knowing about the Milly and Blunkett phone hacks, they neither investigated nor disciplined anyone involved but instead agreed for it to continue, the prosecution asserted but Brooks, Kuttner and Coulson all denied they were involved in the hacking conspiracy.
Brooks said she was unaware of Mulcaire and what he was doing.
The only published story proved to come from hacking while she was editor came from the Milly voicemail and she was "shocked" to find out about it in 2011.
Coulson said he did not know about Mulcaire either and assumed Thurlbeck had hacked Ms Quinn himself.
His first reaction was to ban his chief reporter from investigating the story any further, but he was later persuaded it was justified in the public interest - a decision he admitted was a mistake.
Kuttner, of Woodford, Green, Essex, said he was an old fashioned journalist who believed in getting stories through traditional means.
The 74-year-old Fleet Street veteran signed off payments to sources and planned annual budgets at the NotW but said he did not cook the books to hide Mulcaire's annual salary which rose to £105,000.
Coulson is also accused of conspiring with Goodman to commit misconduct in a public office.
Emails were shown to the court in which Goodman asked Coulson to authorise paying police officers for two royal directories but Goodman said he was prone to exaggerate his sources' importance and Coulson said he never actually believed they were public officials.
The sources have never been identified.
Brooks faced a similar charge by agreeing to pay a Sun journalist's "number one military contact" on 11 occasions while editor of the daily paper.
She denied knowing it was a public official and said she trusted the reporter concerned.
When the hacking scandal re-emerged in July 2011, Brooks was accused of trying to hide or destroy evidence from police.
The ex-News International (NI) chief executive was charged with conspiring with her personal assistant Cheryl Carter to pervert the course of justice.
Carter had removed seven boxes marked as Brooks's notebooks from the NI archive on the day the closure of the NotW was announced but she said they mainly contained her notebooks which she binned and anything belonging to her boss was returned to the office.
Around the time of her arrest on July 17 2011, the prosecution said there was an attempt by Brooks, her husband and Hanna to pervert the course of justice.
Bags of property were found stashed in the underground car park of the Brooks's London flat by a cleaner and handed to police but Mr Brooks said the assorted items, which included lesbian porn DVDs as well as computer equipment, were all his and had nothing to do with the case.

National Mortgage Licensing System Information
The SAFE ACT requires each mortgage loan originator to obtain a unique identifier to facilitate the electronic tracking of loan originators, and the uniform identification of, and public access to, the employment history and publicly adjudicated disciplinary and enforcement actions against a mortgage loan originator. In order to effectuate this requirement, a mortgage loan originator and the employing institution must ensure that the consumer has access to the originator's unique identifier. This access must be made available early enough in the relationship with the originator to enable the consumer to access the Registry before the consumer commits to the mortgage loan transaction. An Agency-regulated institution may comply with the requirement in a number of ways. For example, the institution may choose to direct consumers to a listing of registered mortgage loan originators and their unique identifiers on its Web site; post this information prominently in a publicly accessible place, such as a branch office lobby or lending office reception area; and/or establish a process to ensure that institution personnel provide the unique identifier of a registered mortgage loan originator to consumers who request it from employees other than the mortgage loan.

DMCA Copyright Takedowns To Google Increased 10x In Just The Past Six Months
from the an-avalanche dept
The company also claims that it does the ensuing takedown in an average of just six hours -- even with having someone review each and every takedown, and even rejecting a few. They reject about 2.5% of takedown notices. Again, when you think about it, this remains incredible. They're actively reviewing 2.5 million takedowns a week, and not just reflexively removing all those results from search, but doing at least a quick reality check on them. There are still plenty of bogus takedowns, so the effort isn't perfect, but it is fairly incredible. Given how many times we see copyright maximalists complaining that Google doesn't take DMCA takedowns seriously, I wonder if anyone else out there processes so many DMCA notices in such a short period of time. I doubt it.
Also interesting: they're now making all of the data available for download, so perhaps we'll start to see some interesting research come out of this.
Either way, this should highlight just how ridiculous the current system is. When one company is processing over 10 million takedowns per month, the system is clearly broken. Maybe it's time to look at why -- but, of course, Congress just wants to stick its head in the sand instead.

Consistent giving makes a difference. An asterisk (*) indicates a donor who has made a gift in each of the past five years. In many cases, these donors have much longer unbroken records of giving. Alumni who graduated in the past five years receive an asterisk if they have given each year since graduation.
Kenyon is pleased to recognize Kenyon Fund leadership donors by listing their name in bold font. As part of the multi-year reunion giving program, alumni celebrating their reunion in 2013 are listed under the giving society that corresponds to the sum of their gifts in the year before reunion and the year of reunion, and pledges for the year following reunion.
This list reflects gifts given to the Kenyon Fund between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013.

What are your prom memories?
I went to both of my prom (Junior/Senior). They were both a good time - although I consider myself "a dancer" - meaning, I have the ability to discard all shame when music is playing. Fortunately, my friends and classmates were all the same, so it was that kind of nights.
I remember our prom tickets were 150$...
I didn't go to my prom. In fact, I didn't go to any of my school's functions. I regret nothing.
Prom to me is really.. overblown. I've been to 4 total, and the only one I was glad I even went to was my Junior prom because it was held in a really nice building and my date was just a good friend of mine. We went as a big group of close friends, split the costs of food and the limo and it was just overall drama-free and pretty fun.
Every other prom I went to was with a boyfriend or as a serious date, and those always ended up with more drama than I'd care to deal with >.<
The whole.. Promposal thing is.. odd. But I guess I'm strange. I just don't see a point in treating a high school dance like some sort of wedding thing. Most times you wont even know the people you go with a few years down the line. Not in all cases obviously. I graduated in 2005, and still have my same group of girl friends as I did for 3 years of high school.
Didn't go. My g/f in highschool of 2 years and I decided that instead of spending all of our savings (neither of our parents woulda funded it) on outfits n stuff, we would have a late night date/picnic/cookout at the beach.
So much better than a prom IMO.
I didn't go to prom.
Prom. Prom. Prom.
Its not really a big deal. Its just a dinner with friends plus some dancing (or flirting for some).
But i guess it fine.
My last dance was a surprise really. Didnt know he'll dance with me. MEH.
Not being asked to prom.
Not going to prom.
Not wanting to go to prom.
Sparkle nails. Can't touch this.
Going for no reason and not dancing. I do NOT dance... ¬¬
Even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear~
i hated my school i wasn't gunna go to a party to celebrate the years i was there
Pretty cool :D, good music, good envirioment, good at all :D
i miss that old days of high school T_T university is too different
People this days.... are so selfish
I went to both my junior and senior prom, with the reasoning that I need to go since IT'S PROM!!
UGH. how much money did i spend on each.. The location for both proms was really small, the food was lackluster.... my date for senior prom---I don't even want to remember...
All I know was that I wasted money and watched other people have fun there. lol...
WAIT! It's dangerous out there! Take one of these >> (-⦾-) (-⦾-) (-⦾-)

my date for senior prom---I don't even want to remember...
Seeing as you have control over who you ask to prom, I don't get how you could end up going with a date you didn't like.

I guess I could put it in this way as well: I thought I was going with a person that I would've enjoyed prom with.. but that wasn't the case once we actually went to prom. Did that make sense? :|
WAIT! It's dangerous out there! Take one of these >> (-⦾-) (-⦾-) (-⦾-)
Haha, Junior Prom, we split early and went to a decades older gay man's house who proceeded to make layered, multi-colored shots of who the hell knows what and boilermakers. I didn't drink whereas my friend drank every grown man under the table.
She went to the bathroom and didn't come out for a while. I knocked and heard this light giggling sound, so I opened the door and her ass was stuck on the floor between the wall and the toilet in her white and pink flowered fluffy dress and uttered the unforgettable "Help... I've fallen and I can't get up."
My single piece of advice to anyone who still has proms to attend : If you get photos done, be sure to get some taken /without/ your date. Nothing pissed me off more later than having no pictures of just me without my ex boyfriend.

The recommended principles pertain to controlling the flow of unauthorized immigration, legalization and citizenship, legal immigration, and the economic impacts of immigration. Among fundamental actions recommended in the statement are the establishment of a robust worker visa program in the U.S., heightened scrutiny of exploitative recruitment practices, and a path to citizenship for unauthorized individuals currently in the U.S. The BPC, a Foundation grantee, also emphasizes that immigration be regarded as the number-one contributor to sustaining a healthy, productive population, and that immigration will benefit the U.S. economy in many ways.

Cambodia welcomes statues' return from US museum
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Two 10th century Cambodian stone statues displayed for nearly two decades at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art were returned to their homeland Tuesday in a high-profile case of allegedly looted artifacts.
The voluntary return of the pair of "Kneeling Attendants" statues by one of America's foremost cultural institutions is seen as setting a precedent for the restoration of artworks to their places of origin, from which they were often removed in hazy circumstances.
It comes as the Cambodian government is asking other museums to return similar objects. At the government's request, U.S. authorities have begun legal action against Sotheby's auction house to try to force the handover of a contested piece.
Cambodian officials and Buddhist monks were on hand for a welcome ceremony for the life-size sandstone statues at the capital's international airport.
"The statues are very important to our country," said Chan Tani, secretary of state for the Cabinet office. "We got back those ancient statues that left us, so we should be proud."
The statues come from the Koh Ker temple in Siem Reap province, which is home to the famed Angkor Wat temples. Officials say they were stolen from the temple in the 1970s. The museum said the statues were given to the museum in pieces by different donors between 1987 and 1992.
"These pieces were an important part of our museum's display of Khmer (Cambodian) and pre-Khmer art," the head of the museum's Asian art department, Maxwell K. Hearn, said after the Buddhist ceremony. "It was a great privilege to be able to show works of Khmer art in New York, but we are also very pleased to see these pieces rightfully returned to Cambodia."
The museum announced in May it was returning the statues after researchers discovered new evidence indicating that they had been illegally exported under Cambodian law.
"The museum is committed to applying rigorous provenance standards not only to new acquisitions, but to the study of works long in its collections in an ongoing effort to learn as much as possible about ownership history," museum director Thomas P. Campbell said in a May 3 statement. "In returning the statues, the museum is acting to strengthen the good relationship it has long maintained with scholarly institutions and colleagues in Cambodia and to foster and celebrate continued cooperation and dialogue between us."
A 1993 Cambodian law prohibited the removal of cultural artifacts without government permission. Pieces taken after that date have stronger legal standing to compel their new owners abroad to return them. But there is also general agreement in the art world that pieces were acquired illegitimately if they were exported without clear and valid documentation after 1970 — the year of a United Nations cultural agreement targeting trafficking in antiquities.
Chan Tani said the returned statues will first be displayed at the offices of Prime Minister Hun Sen, where there will be an international meeting this month of the U.N. cultural agency's World Heritage Committee. They will afterward be moved to Phnom Penh's National Museum.
Largely due to the social and political disruptions of war, widespread looting of Cambodia's ancient temples took place in the 1970s through the 1990s, with many items smuggled through Thailand.
In April, the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan filed court papers seeking to compel Sotheby's to forfeit a 5-foot (1.5 meter) -tall sandstone statue so that it could be returned to Cambodia. U.S. authorities acted at the request of Cambodia.
The statue came from the same Koh Ker temple as the Kneeling Attendants. It was consigned by a private collector to Sotheby's in 2010, according to court papers. In February, Sotheby's identified the seller as a European collector who purchased the work from a London dealer in 1975.
The sculpture of a mythical warrior in an elaborate headdress has been estimated by Sotheby's to be worth $2 million to $3 million at auction. The statue is of "extraordinary value" to the Cambodian people and "a triumph of creativity and innovation," papers filed by the U.S. attorney's office said.
Sotheby's has said it would defend against the action and disputed federal prosecutors' allegation that the sculpture was illegally imported into the U.S.
The statue was to be auctioned on March 24, 2011, but Sotheby's voluntarily withdrew it from auction a day before the sale after a Cambodian official sent a letter asking it to do so.

NorCal Cheese Plate
Northern California has become a major center of artisan cheese, so I always try to sample some when I'm in town. These cheeses come from all over the North Bay, but we got them all at the great local cheese section of Sonoma Market, the fabulous grocery store on Napa Street which carries all kinds of locally sourced food and drink.
This plate features, clockwise from the triangle at the top:
Cypress Grove Bermuda Triangle (Humboldt County). From the makers of Humboldt Fog, these little triangles have long been one of my favorites. Coated with ash, they are spicier tasting than the Fog but have the same creaminess as they age. I actually prefer the triangles to Fog.
Cowgirl Creamery Red Hawk (Marin County). Long one of my local favorites, Red Hawk is a washed rind cheese. Buying them can be risky. When sold too young, they are chalky and raw tasting, but when just right, they are creamy and stinky like a French Epoisses. For best results, visit their dairy in Point Reyes or one of their shops, but in a pinch, I take a chance at Sonoma Market, which treats its cheese pretty well for a general market.
Nicasio Valley Foggy Morning (Marin County). This is a fresh cow cheese that's light and fluffy. It could easily substitute for ricotta in a lasagna or pizza or go in a salad with figs.
Nicasio Vallye Formagella (Marin County). A bloomy rind cow cheese. this one is quite mild but has a nice flavor, reminding me a bit of the Mt. Tam from Cowgirl Creamery.
Not Pictured: Bellwether Farms San Andreas (Sonoma County). This is a hard, raw milk sheep cheese with a lovely, subtle flavor giving just a hint of sheep.

As admirer of Alexander Calder, in 1951 Schottlander created the "MANTIS" series of lamps. Movement is intrinsic to all of Schottlander's work : an artist, an engineer and in no small measure a handyman, he devised a clever system of counterweights combined with a series of strong and flexible metal bars.  The shade also is unique of its kind. Like an acrobat suspended in mid-air, it is made from aluminium using spinning and chasing techniques that are a part of the metalworker's inventory of skills, but to which he has brought his sculptor's eye to create a helical movement in which the symmetrical and the asymmetrical are in opposition.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Ryven Jackson of Talladega (Ala.) has been named the NAIA National Division I Women's Basketball Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Jackson was selected based on her performances from Feb. 24-March 2 and was chosen out of a pool of conference and independent award winners.
Jackson, a native of Little Rock, Ark., concluded the regular season with back-to-back triple-doubles. Against Fisk (Tenn.) on Feb. 24, the senior forward scored 23 points on 11-of-17 shooting. She also grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out 10 assists in the Tornadoes' 88-62 victory. On March 1 against Edward Waters (Fla.), Jackson scored 18 points on 8-of-18 shooting, while also recording 10 rebounds and 10 assists, to lead the Tornadoes to a 103-80 win. Jackson's triple-doubles were two of just 11 to be recorded in NAIA Division I Women's Basketball regular-season play, while the two final-week victories helped Talladega (10-1) to clinch the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference regular-season title over Xavier (La.) (10-2). For the week, Jackson shot .543 from the field (19-of-35), while averaging 20.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 10 assists.
On the year, Jackson has scored in double-digits in 20 of Talladega's 27 contests. She does not lead the team in any statistical category, but does rank among the top four Tornadoes in every key metric: points (2nd, 356), rebounds (2nd, 230), assists (3rd, 73), steals (3rd, 38) and blocks (4th, 5). Jackson does lead the nation in triple-doubles (2) and also ranks among the top 50 in total rebounds (32nd, 230), total rebounds per game (37th, 8.52), defensive rebounds per game (39th, 5.48), offensive rebounds per game (48th, 3.04) and field goal percentage (49th, .446).

I literally decided what I was going to be yesterday and made my costume this morning! I always do this every year. I'm definitely a procrastinator. My costume was inspired by the Justin Timberlake & Jimmy Fallon "hashtag" skit. I thought it was hilarious and immediately thought of myself because I hashtag everything on instagram. So I thought it would be fun to actually be an instagram hashtag lol
Some people might think I am a really serious person, but truthfully I'm really silly and I actually make fun of myself ALL the time so I knew I had to be this.
To make this I just bought poster board and construction paper then used fabric glue to piece it all together. Thankfully I had white eye liner left over from last year's costume so I was able to write the word "insta" in white. I spent no more than $10! Then I just put on any white pieces I could find in my closet. I think it's more fun to create a costume than buy one!
Have a fun day loves :)

Quarterback Aaron Eiseler (junior, Mesa, Ariz., Red Mountain HS) completed nine of his first 10 passes as the Central College rolled up a 24-0 halftime lead and posted its first 2013 win in surprisingly lopsided fashion, 38-13 at Augustana College (Ill.) Saturday night.
Eiseler threw for three TDs and ran for another as the Dutch (1-1) put last week's wrenching 24-20 loss to No. 10 Wis.-Oshkosh in the rear-view mirror. Central didn't ease off the accelerator until the game was under control, racking up 390 yards of offense to Augustana's 288. The Dutch kept Augustana (1-1) off the scoreboard until just 9 seconds remained in the third quarter.
Eiseler connected on nine of his first 10 passes, but it was the Dutch defense that set the tone early. On Augustana's second possession, the Vikings marched 80 yards to the Central 1-yard line. But the Dutch dropped Augustana for losses on the next two plays and the Vikings also were penalized for a false start before Conner Murray's 29-yard field goal try sailed wide.
Then the Central offense went to work with a 10-play, 80-yard drive. Keegan Frisch (senior, Sumner, Sumner-Fredricksburg HS) caught his first career TD pass, a 19-yard strike, to put the Dutch on the board. A 36-yard Kevin Sheldon (junior, West Des Moines, Valley HS) field goal at the start of the second quarter and another defensive stop followed before Eiseler found Blaine Forsythe (junior, Pella) on the sideline where he made a leaping grab and sprinted for an 18-yard score to complete a three-play drive.
An interception by linebacker Mike Young (senior, Country Club Hills, Ill., Hillcrest HS) set up an 8-yard Eisler keeper to make it 24-0.
Central stretched the advantage to 31-0 when Eiseler fired a 40-yard TD pass to Forsythe to finish a three-play, 56-yard third-quarter possession. Three plays later, linebacker Jordan Wachter (junior, Clive, Waukee HS) picked off a pass to put the Dutch in scoring position yet again but Sheldon's 33-yard field goal try was wide left.
Augustana quarterback Samuel Frasco completed a 7-yard touchdown pass near the end of the third quarter. But Dutch running back De'Andre Currie (junior, Gilbert, Ariz., Mountain Pointe HS) answered with back-to-back runs of 17 and 37 yards to find the end zone and complete Central's scoring. Augustana added a final score against the Dutch second unit as Frasco muscled his way in for a 1-yard TD with 5:15 left in the game.
Currie was the game's leading rusher with 74 yards on 10 carries while Josh Osborn (junior, Burlington) had 65 yards on 12 attempts. Eiseler completed 19 of 25 passes for 214 yards with one interception. Grant McArdle (senior, Red Oak) had five catches for 48 yards while Brendon Boerm (junior, Traer, North Tama HS) had five receptions for 31 yards.
Wachter and linebacker Mitch Schroeder (junior, Lowden, North Cedar HS) each had eight tackles. Defensive backs Bryan Mejia (sophomore, Miami, Fla., Coral Gables HS), Jacob Edleman (senior, Mechanicsville, North Cedar HS) and Eric Larson (junior, Waverly, Waverly-Shell Rock HS) each had five stops. Larson also had two pass breakups, a tackle for loss and a forced fumble. Linebacker Keith Rush (senior, Griswold) had two sacks, 2.5 tackles for loss and a fumble recovery. Defensive lineman JJ Kotz (senior, Indianola) had his first career interception, as Central forced four Augustana turnovers.
Central has its only open weekend of the season before playing its homecoming contest, a Sept. 28 game with Albion College (Mich.) at 1 p.m. at Ron and Joyce Schipper Stadium. The Britons are 1-1, winning their opener against Defiance (Ohio) 32-29 before getting blasted at No. 15 Wheaton (Ill.) Saturday, 66-0. Albion, which stymied Central 35-16 in Michigan last fall, plays host to Aurora (Ill.) Saturday.

The American Folk Art Museum by architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien opened in 2001 to wide acclaim, thanks, in part, to its distinctive faceted, bronze façade.
But just 12 years after opening the building, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) plans to demolish the structure to make way for an expansion that will more seamlessly connect with adjacent MoMA buildings on the MoMA campus in Manhattan, according to the New York Times.
In 2011, MoMA purchased the building from the struggling folk art museum, which was millions in debt due to lower-than-expected attendance and investment losses stemming from the recent recession.
Museum officials claim that because the building is set back farther than the other buildings on the property, the floors cannot be aligned. In addition, its solid façade does not meld with the mostly all-glass enclosures on the museum campus.
In an interview with NYT, Tsien said she was "really disappointed" by the announcement and called the move a "loss for architecture," especially because the building is an increasingly rare example of a small yet well-crafted structure.

To the Editor:
As a relative newcomer to the Apponaug area, I read with interest the Beacon's front page piece (July 30), by John Howell, about planned traffic changes and the accompanying editorial. I must admit I was largely unaware of the details of the long history of this issue, but I am hardly surprised.
Your editorial states that the new plan will make the village "pedestrian friendly." Certainly the details of that friendliness are hidden. Will there be pedestrian bridges? Tunnels?
Apponaug village is a worthy destination, with its shops, City Hall, museum, library, and post office. For me, right now, a walk into the village from a short distance up Greenwich Avenue is quite an adventure, especially during high-traffic hours. For my father, who is 91, it is quite impossible, and he has given up that battle. The one safe route requires the crossing light, soon to disappear. Where is the pedestrian friendliness for residents who want to walk into the village?
On a similar note, I am concerned about bicycle safety in the new configuration. I know from long experience that round-a-bouts are very difficult for bikes. I hope bike lanes will be clearly marked by builders, and acknowledged by drivers.
I welcome the new configuration for auto traffic, but I would hope to see some acknowledgement of other types of traffic – types that we should be eager to promote for many reasons.
Warwick has much to do in these areas of pedestrian and bicycle traffic. An example: It is a risky act for me to take my bike onto Greenwich Ave. It seems to me that this road could easily be two lanes, with a center turning lane and two welcoming bike lanes.
I am certainly not a traffic engineer. But I am a walker and a biker, and, as such, am not all that comfortable here.

Several of my patients quote recent media coverage claiming that working with home appliances could increase the risk of miscarriages. What is your advice?
Two recent epidemiologic studies from California have suggested an increased risk of miscarriages associated with exposure to magnetic fields. Even if the threshold associated with such risk is a biologic and true risk (and not just an association), it does not appear to arise from typical use of hair dryers, microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners, and similar home appliances.
Plusieurs de mes patientes font référence à des articles dans les médias qui maintiennent que le fait de travailler avec des appareils ménagers pourrait accroître le risque d'avortement spontané. Quels sont vos conseils?
Deux récentes études épidémiologiques réalisées en Californie ont fait valoir un risque accru d'avortement spontané associé à l'exposition à des champs magnétiques. Même si le seuil associé à de tels risques est un risque biologique et réel (pas seulement une association), il ne semble pas y avoir de tels risques posés par l'utilisation habituelle de séchoirs à cheveux, de fours micro-ondes, d'aspirateurs et d'appareils ménagers semblables.
Studies of exposure
In a similar manner in 2000, Lee and colleagues4 showed that users of electric bed heaters did not have more spontaneous abortions than those who did not use them. This was true for both electric blankets and waterbeds.In 2002, the same authors reported results of a nested case-control study of the measured effects of residential and personal magnetic fields on rates of miscarriage.5 Data on exposure were gathered from retrospective reports, and electromagnetic fields were measured to validate the retrospective reports. The study claimed to have detected an odds ratio of 3.1 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.6 to 6) for miscarriages when the highest quartile of electromagnetic exposure was compared with the lowest. In this study, however, history of exposure at 12 weeksâ gestation correlated poorly with direct measurement of exposure at 30 weeksâ gestation. A study from California, published in the same issue of Epidemiology, had the benefit of prospective collection and validation of cases.6 In addition to collecting information from participating women, 24-hour dosimetry of electromagnetic field exposure was carried out. Women were recruited if they intended to carry their pregnancies to term. Through interviews and medical records, the authors also collected data on confounders (other causes of miscarriage), such as previous miscarriages and smoking. Of all measures of electromagnetic fields used by the researchers, only peak-per-day levels above 16 milligaus (mG; gaus is the unit used to measure electromagnetic energy) were associated with adverse outcomes. Cumulative exposure did not yield a similar association. Ambient electromagnetic fields were measured 24 hours a day by dosimeter. Amount of exposure depends on how far the body is from the source. Close exposure was associated with an 80% increased risk of miscarriage. This association was robust after controlling for 30 known risk factors or potential confounders. Using other dose parameters, such as quantities, duration, or number of times above the threshold ( 16 mG) gave similar results. Fetuses at an early gestational age were more susceptible to electromagnetic exposure than fetuses at a later stage. Risk of miscarriage associated with electromagnetic fields was higher before 10 weeksâ gestation (relative risk 2.2, 95% CI 1.2 to 4.0). Problems with study results
At least two issues were not addressed appropriately in the study. As discussed by Savitz in an accompanying editorial,7 women with nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) are known to be less susceptible to miscarriages. Because of their condition, they perhaps move less, use appliances less, and might thus be less exposed to electromagnetic fields. If this is the case, then the study merely associated NVP with less likelihood of miscarriage, an association known for a long time.
A second issue is when the women were recruited. While this study compared âexposedâ women and âunexposedâ women on numerous factors and found them to be similar (eg, age, medical and obstetric history) it does not tell us whether they were recruited at the same gestational stages. Here is how it works: women recruited earlier in pregnancy (eg, at 4 weeksâ gestation) will report on miscarriages that occurred, say, between 4 and 12 weeks. In contrast, women recruited at 9 weeksâ gestation will not include any who miscarried before 9 weeks. Hence, if the two groups are not at identical gestational age at recruitment, results can be badly skewed.
So, what should we tell patients who are afraid to dry their hair or make toast for their children? How do we interpret an apparently optimal prospective study showing associations between peak level electromagnetic fields and miscarriage?
Let us assume a worst-case scenario (ie, that the data are biologically true, and that a peak level of 16 mG is the threshold for risk for expectant women). Now, consider the following: when used normally, hair dryers aimed at the head are at least 60 cm from the uterus. At this distance, peak uterine exposure to an elecromagnetic field is so small one cannot detect it. Microwave ovens are typically at least 70 to 80 cm from the body of someone pushing the buttons. At that distance, the electromagnetic dose to the skin is <10 mG, and the dose that will reach the uterus is much lower. Vacuum cleaners are typically at least 60 cm from a userâs abdomen, and the dose is similar for typical use: <10 mG and probably much lower.8
When we interpret the evidence, we understand that it is reasonable to expect more and better controlled data, but in the meantime, we can reassure women that it is safe for them to continue regular use of home appliances.

Batting title highlights Posey's amazing comeback
SAN View Full Game Coverage FRANCISCO -- Buster Posey told teammates as the regular season ended, "I'm looking forward to that Little League feel." That's the best way, Posey believes, to handle the Major League challenge of performing in the postseason.
Posey reached the 2010 postseason with the San Francisco Giants, who proceeded to win the World Series. That concluded a remarkable campaign for Posey, who won the National League Rookie of the Year Award.Once again, Posey's swimming in individual achievement. He won the NL batting title with a .336 average, which could propel him to the league's MVP Award. As the Giants' cleanup hitter and one of their most formidable performers in the clutch -- he batted .340 this year with runners in scoring position -- he will occupy the spotlight as San Francisco confronts Cincinnati in the Division Series beginning Saturday at AT&T Park -- on TBS at 6:30 p.m. PT. But, as numerous Giants have echoed, it's all about the team in the postseason. That's why Posey has that Little League feeling. "Even more so than the regular season, there's so much that rides on each pitch, each play and each at-bat," Posey said Friday, describing the emotional and mental rush the postseason provides. "To me, it feels like this time of the year, more so than even the regular season, guys are pulling for each other and have each other's back." Posey sensed the strength of this bond among the Giants. "I think we all like to win. I think that's a common feeling among guys in this clubhouse," he said. "From the start of the season, we had a plan to play hard each day. It worked out to winning the division, and we keep going. It's like we start fresh now. It should be fun." To an extent, Posey started fresh as this season began. The catcher endured a rigorous recovery after sustaining multiple left leg injuries in a home-plate collision with Florida's Scott Cousins on May 25, 2011. The Giants weren't sure how much Posey could play this year. Manager Bruce Bochy estimated that the 25-year-old might exceed 100 games and perhaps approach 110. So when Posey played 148 games, including 110 starts at catcher, and appeared among the league leaders in virtually every significant offensive category, observers were left in awe. "To come off a devastating injury like he had and bounce back, and not just have a good year but win a batting title, is truly amazing to me," Bochy said. "It really demonstrates the talent that this guy has. I couldn't be happier for him -- not just in coming back, but being the force that he is." Posey became the second Giant to win a batting title since the franchise moved to San Francisco in 1958. Barry Bonds topped the league in 2002 and '04. Five New York Giants won batting titles, including Hall of Famers Roger Connor (1885), Bill Terry (1930) and Willie Mays (1954). So when Posey said of his feat, "I don't think it's something you ever think about," he meant it. Posey emphasized that his was an individual accomplishment in name only. He credited head athletic trainer Dave Groeschner and his staff for guiding him through his injury rehabilitation. He thanked batting coaches Hensley Meulens and Joe Lefebvre, as well as teammates, for stimulating his ideas about hitting. "I feel like I've gotten better at making adjustments from game to game and even during at-bats," Posey said. Posey also singled out Bochy for preserving his energy through the 162-game regular season by resting him just enough and starting him in 29 games at first base, which kept his bat in the lineup while sparing him from the rigors of catching. Posey's stamina was evident as he hit .289 before the All-Star break and .385 afterward. Posey has displayed similar progress as a catcher. Matt Cain, San Francisco's Game 1 starter, provided an example of Posey's seriousness about his defensive responsibilities. "From what he did in 2010 to what he's doing now, I think he's really trying to lead us and find ways to try to pitch to guys," Cain said. "... He knows that we're all trying to pitch different, and he's trying to pick our brains before starts, maybe about what we're thinking throwing to guys. He's done a good job of taking that role. He just kind of jumped right into it. He didn't really say anything to us about it. He started doing it ... and it kind of started being a routine." Giants players expressed their admiration for Posey after the regular-season finale at Los Angeles by presenting him a gift to commemorate his batting title. "You're with these guys every day for the past eight months," said Posey. "It feels good to enjoy this with them." The Giants believe that they'll have more to share with Posey. "Absolutely he's the MVP," right fielder Hunter Pence said. "Now that he's won a batting title, I certainly think he should win the MVP," Bochy said. "I'd hate to think where we'd be without him."

The USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll for Sept. 8, 2013.
While top-ranked Alabama was enjoying a bye week, the action behind the Tide resulted in some shuffling in the USA TODAY Sports coaches poll. The most notable difference is a new No. 2.
The Crimson Tide easily retained the No. 1 ranking with the same 58 of 62 first-place votes. But Oregon edged Ohio State for second in the voting. With their warp-speed offense that produced a 59-10 victory at Virginia, they poached one of Ohio State's three No. 1 votes from a week ago and turned a deficit of 24 poll points into an 18-point lead over the Buckeyes.
COMPLETE TOP 25: The updated rankings
Texas A&M retained the final first-place vote and climbed back to No. 6 on the eve of its anticipated showdown with Alabama. Louisville also gained a position to No. 7. LSU vaulted to No. 8, leapfrogging No. 9 Florida State which had the week off. Georgia moved back into the top 10, bouncing back from its narrow loss at Clemson with a home victory against South Carolina.
Stock up: Miami (Fla.)
SNEAK PEEK: One coach reveals his ballot
The Hurricanes were the biggest winners of the weekend. After edging into the poll a week ago in a tie for 24th, they lent credibility to that vote by upending then-No. 9 Florida and check in this week in a tie for 18th with Wisconsin.
Stock down: Florida.
On the other side of the coin, the Gators' mistake-plagued loss at Miami sent them tumbling 11 places to No. 20, the biggest drop within the top 25.
MORE: Eminem's awkward 'live TV' moment
Stock up: Michigan.
The Wolverines rode an exciting 41-30 win against Notre Dame in the Big House to the No. 12 spot. Their five-spot gain was the second biggest of the week.
Stock down: Notre Dame.
Speaking of the Fighting Irish, their road loss cost them eight spots as they slipped behind other weekend winners to the No. 21 ranking.
Stock up: The Big Ten.
Despite Ohio State's loss of a position near the top, the rest of the league did quite well in the poll. In addition to Michigan's big gain, No. 15 Nebraska and No. 16 Northwestern each gained four places.
Stock down: South Carolina.
The Gamecocks found themselves in the same situation their opponents were in a week ago, facing an excellent team in an amped-up environment on the road. Nevertheless, the Gamecocks' loss at Georgia cost them eight poll positions as they check in at No.14.
New kids on the block: No. 22 Baylor, No. 25 Mississippi.
College dropouts: Texas, Southern California.

I am learning how to do 3d modeling. I am trying to do a square to round piece that is made from metal. I started with a loft solid (shelled) but I am not so sure that is the way to go as I am having difficulty with chamfering the corners. Not sure lofting is the best way to do it. It also doesn't show me where the breaks would be in the metal as it is formed. The other question I have is can once I make the model is there a way to get a flattened developed view of it?
