Organization is a big market–it seems like people are always coming up with new and improved ways to control the clutter and get things in order.
From organizing holiday decorations (where on earth to store the artificial Christmas tree and boatload of ornaments you never use?) to organizing kids' closets (how long has that lunchbox been down there?!), there are tips and tricks to getting your home in order. Here are a few easy tips for basic, everyday changes that make a big difference in the overall organization of your home.
1. Find a place for everything.
"A place for everything, and everything in its place" has become so cliché that it's easy to ignore. But this is a time-tested organizational strategy that really works!
You can break the process into bite-sized chunks by moving through your home one room at a time. Start with a section of a room–a desk, for instance, then an end table, then a set of shelves. Don't let yourself just relocate the clutter; make sure there's a place for everything as you go through, or get rid of it. You'll thank yourself later.
2. Build teamwork.
Unless the whole family is on board, your organizational journey will feel more like a treadmill set on an Olympian's pace. Talk to your spouse and kids about working together to creatively solve organizational dilemmas and develop a game plan to stay on track.
3. Be creative.
Sometimes organization isn't just a matter of taking the time to put things where they belong. If you live in an apartment or a small home with limited storage space, you'll have to look for creative ideas to find all the right places–like using the insides of cabinet doors or repurposing shower curtain rings to organize scarves. Check out this site for a wealth of clever storage ideas that make organization easy, attractive and affordable.
By working through your space a bit at a time, making small, day-to-day changes, and enlisting your family's help, finding your inner Martha Stewart will be easier–and more effective–than ever.

Mobile home considered a total loss after fire
LINCOLN TOWNSHIP — A fire reported at approximately 1:30 p.m. on April 15 at a mobile home in the 4300 block of South Huron Road didn't take down the structure completely, but Standish Area Fire Authority President Doug Ireland says the fire is still considered a total loss.
"We did stop it, but probably a third of the roof came down," Ireland said. "There's probably smoke damage throughout the house. … The fire and water damage was prohibited to a third of the house.
"Most of the damage was on the South side (of the structure)."
Ireland says the cause of the fire, which produced no injuries, is currently under investigation by Michigan State Police Fire Marshall Mike Jenkinson, who operates out of the Gladwin Michigan State Police Post.
The Pinconning-Fraser Fire Department and the Sterling Area Fire Department provided mutual aid at the scene, which was closed at approximately 4 p.m. according to Ireland. Arenac County Mobile Medical Response was also called out as a precautionary measure and the Arenac County Sheriff's Office and Michigan State Police provided traffic control near the scene of the fire.

Galactic Black Hole with Optical Jet
The energy source needed to create and maintain the galactic let in galaxy PKS 0521-36 is generated deep within the core of the galaxy, and is far too small to resolved. The favored mechanism behind these cosmic fireworks is a spinning, massive black hole. The hole is fueled by a continual in-fall of nearby gas and stars. This gravitational accretion process is far more efficient at converting mass to energy than thermonuclear fusion processes which power individual stars. The extraordinary high pressure and temperature generated near the hole would cause some of the in-falling gas to be ejected along the direction of the black hole's spinning axis to create the galactic let.

Syndicated columnist Kathleen Parker opined recently that at least some of the blame for the decline of newspapers rests at the feet of right-wing pundits who have spent the past couple of decades pummeling them as left-wing rags.
She makes a fairly compelling argument. From Limbaugh to Hannity to Savage, the radio heads bash and bash and bash some more the nation's dead tree journalists for their biased reporting which indeed often veers left of center.

A few weeks back we broke the news the new up-powered model of the 'vette we've been talking about at length for the past year now — the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 — would be taking a hot lap or two around the track at Laguna Seca. We knew we'd get some pictures of the hot lap — even posting a contest on it — and we hoped for some video. What we didn't know was that the passenger of the ZR1 would be holding a camcorder. So, thanks to our friends at Corvette Quarterly, here's the exclusive video of the hot lap 'round Laguna Seca with Corvette racer Johnny O'Connell. It's epic and we think we just may have wet ourselves. While we clean up, we'll let you take a gander — and listen to the sweet, sweet engine sounds. We certainly don't think you'll be seeing a look at the new 'vette this good until the press shots start to seep out prior to the Detroit Auto Show.

As Donald Trump's campaign flails out of control only weeks before the election, the media has increasingly become a target of his ire.
Celine Cooper: Bravo to the New York Times for standing up to Donald Trump
The world has long been captivated by U.S. presidential elections. Beyond the sheer spectacle of it all, they are a very public exercise in democracy. American elections also have powerful political and economic impacts on countries everywhere, not least Canada. In this respect, the current race to the White House is no different.
What is different this time around is Donald Trump.
At this point, there is little need to catalogue the demeaning things Donald Trump has said during the course of his campaign about Mexicans, immigrants, African Americans, Muslims and so on. But as his campaign flails out of control only weeks before Americans go to the polls, the media has increasingly become a main target of his ire and base rhetoric.
The tipping point arrived with the leak of a 2005 recording brought to light by the Washington Post. In it, Trump boasts about being able to sexually assault women because of his fame. In the last town hall debate with Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, he dismissed these comments as "locker room talk," saying he never actually assaulted women.
The New York Times then published an article in which two women accused Trump of inappropriate touching. His campaign team swiftly demanded a retraction and apology, claiming it was a libellous piece. The New York Times refused. Instead, it published a letter to Trump's team written by VP and Assistant General Counsel David McCraw. McCraw argued that the story was of national importance:
"We did what the law allows: We published newsworthy information about a subject of deep public concern. If Mr. Trump disagrees, if he believes that American citizens had no right to hear what these women had to say and that the law of this country forces us and those who would dare to criticize him to stand silent or be punished, we welcome the opportunity to have a court set him straight."
The Times deserves credit for its stance. Trump has consistently demonstrated a deep disrespect, even contempt for women. He seems to think you can do anything you want to a woman without her consent, particularly when you are powerful, male and moneyed. Canada's first female prime minister, Kim Campbell, has openly called Trump a sexual predator. Michelle Obama, in a recent speech in New Hampshire, referred to him as "a powerful individual speaking freely and openly about sexually predatory behaviour."
A growing number of women are now coming forward with allegations of unwanted sexual advances and groping by the Republican presidential candidate. Trump has vehemently denied the allegations as "pure fiction," calling the women "horrible, horrible liars."
In a democracy, the job of the press is to challenge and question, to educate and inform debate, and to expose abuses of power, lies and inequality. This responsibility extends far beyond matters of national importance to Americans.
Trump has accused the Clinton campaign of controlling the news media, insinuating that if he loses, it's because the outcome has been rigged.
The Committee to Protect Journalists issued a statement indicating that a Trump presidency would represent a threat to press freedom "unknown in modern history," and not only in the United States: "The consequences for the rights of journalists around the world could be far more serious. Any failure of the United States to uphold its own standards emboldens dictators and despots to restrict the media in their own countries."
These are turbulent days. Around the world, we are seeing a rising populism, public anger and distrust of institutions. Donald Trump has tapped into this growing anti-establishment sentiment.
It is up to the American people to decide whom they will choose as president. But the world is watching. The New York Times should be commended for both holding Trump to account and holding its ground in the name of press freedom and democracy.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Jan. 16, 2012) – ETSU senior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) scored 19 second-half points, including a go-ahead free throw with 2.4 seconds left to lift the ETSU men's basketball team to a 64-63 win over North Florida in Atlantic Sun Conference men's basketball action Monday evening inside the UNF Arena.
The Buccaneers, who trailed by 15 points in the first half and only shot 31 percent from the field before halftime, connected on 68 percent of its shots in the second half and outscored the Ospreys 23-7 at one point to rally for the win. With the victory, ETSU improves to 10-7 overall, 5-2 in A-Sun action, while UNF drops to 9-11, 3-4.
The victory also marked win No. 1,200 all-time for the ETSU's men's basketball program.
"This is a great win for our team because North Florida is awfully tough to beat in this building," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team has now won five straight games. "I'm really proud of our seniors. Adam was really big for us in the second half, and we had other players make important plays for us down the stretch. We're ready to get back home and prepare for Lipscomb."
The Bucs picked up the victory despite the fact UNF's Matt Sauey tossed a perfect inbounds pass the length of the court with 1.7 seconds left and found forward Travis Wallace under the basket. Wallace's shot with less than one second left missed the mark as he fired up a shot over Sollazzo.
In the first half, ETSU led 10-9 before the Ospreys went on a 21-5 run powered in part by five 3-pointers. After the smoke cleared, the Bucs trailed 30-15 with just under four minutes left before the break. The Bucs managed to regroup to some degree and outscored UNF 8-4 to close out the half and trailed 34-23 at the break.
By halftime, the Ospreys had shot 44 percent from the field and an impressive 50 percent from 3-point range. Meanwhile, ETSU hit on just 31 percent of its shots in the first half and was 0-for-5 outside the arc. In addition, the Ospreys managed to handle ETSU's defensive pressure and committed just five turnovers in the first 20 minutes of play.
It was a different offensive story for the Bucs in the second half, as the team shot 68 percent from the floor. After going 1-for-7 in the first half, Sollazzo connected on 9-of-11 shots from the field to net a game-high 21 points.
The result was a rally that brought the Bucs back from an 11-point deficit, thanks mainly to a 21-7 run that was capped by a 3-pointer from junior guard Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.) to make it 53-50 with 6:06 left in the game. It was ETSU's first lead since early in the first half.
From there, UNF managed to tie the game at 61-61 and 63-63, but ETSU outlasted the Ospreys thanks to a pair of free throws from senior forward Isiah Brown (Miami) with 49 seconds left, and Sollazzo's game-winning free throw with 2.4 seconds left.
Along with Sollazzo, ETSU got a 15-point effort from Brown, 12 points from Dubose, and 11 points from junior guard Sheldon Cooley (Tampa). For UNF, Jerron Granberry led the way with 14 points, while Parker Smith netted 12, and both Andy Diaz and Travis Wallace added 11 points each.
ETSU returns to Johnson City and will take on Lipscomb Saturday, with tip set for 4 p.m. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the 2011-12 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.

I really liked the original of this card. Many times, I see a card but there aren't any dimensions or instructions, so I just wing it and usually come very close. Sometimes I don't like the result and sometimes I like my card even better than the original. The original of this card was created by Joan Robertson. I am sure she used all Stampin' Up ink. I used all distress ink because I liked the colors.
My card is made with the elegant butterfly and bitty butterfly punches, together with the Papillon Potpourri stamp set (all SU); and Peeled Paint, Dusty Concord and Broken China distress inks (Tim Holtz/Ranger). I also used Very Vanilla cardstock (SU), En Francais background stamp (SU) in Going Gray ink (SU), and black cardstock (Michael's). The twine is linen thread from CTMH. The sentiment is from "Thinking of You" stamp set (Hero Arts).

ATHENS, Ga. – It took a couple of extra innings, but the Tennessee Tech softball team finally prevailed Saturday afternoon, edging Winthrop 5-4 in nine innings at the Georgia Bulldogs Classic.
Winthrop battled to the finish, rallying with one run in the bottom of the seventh and two in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game both times and force an added frame.
Tech (3-5) was facing Connecticut later Saturday when the game was suspended in the third inning. Tech and the Huskies will resume Sunday at 10 a.m. CT, while the game against Western Illinois has been cancelled.
Holly Thomas (3-2) got the win in the circle against Winthrop, overcoming six walks while allowing only four hits.
Brittany Spalding went 3-for-4 to pace the Tech offense, including a two-run home run in the top of the eighth. Whitney Cummings and Melody Christian each had two of Tech's 10 hits.
Winthrop grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first and held that edge into the fifth. The run came on a walk, stolen base and double by Chelsey Schoenfeldt. Thomas allowed just one hit through the next four innings, and the Golden Eagles backed her with two in the top of the fifth for a 2-1 lead.
Brooke Basten and Melody Christian both singled, and Chanelle Spalding reached on a fielder's choice that scored Basten to tie the game. Christian was out on the play, but the relay to first was thrown away and Spalding raced to second. An RBI single by Whitney Cummings made it 2-1.
Thomas faced a huge threat in the sixth but got out of it. After a single, walk and sacrifice put two runners in scoring position with one out, the senior pitcher got back-to-back groundouts to Brittany Spalding at third base to send it to the seventh.
Winthrop forced extra innings with an unearned run in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game at 2-2. The leadoff batter reached on an error and an infield single put two runners aboard. Tech got a force out at second for the first out, and shortstop Emily Burch gunned down a runner at the plate on another ground ball for the second out.
But Thomas couldn't zero in on the strike zone and walked the next to batters to force home the tying run, before getting a grounder to end the inning.
Brittany Spalding tried to win it in the eighth, smacking a home run with Chanelle Spalding aboard to make it 4-2, but Winthrop answered with a two-run home run in the bottom of the inning by Melanie Andrea to tie it 4-4.
Tech went up 5-4 in the top of the ninth. Garrett was placed on second (international rule), Sakamoto beat out an infield single and Basten walked to load the bases. Christian's ground out plated the go-ahead run.
The Eagles placed pinch runner Teja Durante on second to start their half of the ninth with the top of the lineup coming to the plate. Thomas got the dangerous leadoff hitter, Megan Chapman, to strikeout but McKenzie Corn poked her second hit of the game into left field, pushing Durante to third. Thomas got Eberlin and Schoenfeldt, Winthrop's three and four hitters, to fly out end it.
Thomas (3-2) got the win, pitching all nine innings. She walked six, struck out five and allowed six hits and three earned runs. Becker took the loss, allowing five runs on 10 hits, walking four and striking out nine.

Sarah DeMelo of New Bedford didn't know what she had hooked on the end of her line while fishing an area of Buzzards Bay last summer — and it wasn't giving up easily.
Sarah DeMelo of New Bedford didn't know what she had hooked on the end of her line while fishing an area of Buzzards Bay last summer — and it wasn't giving up easily.
"I could barely move it —it just didn't want to come up," said Sarah, who was fishing with her husband, Antonio and their son, Ashton, aboard their 20-foot boat, Need to Fish II. The tug of war came to an end however when the great fish began to tire before Sarah did and she gained line on it and finally got it up to the boat — and in.
The fluke, also known as summer flounder, weighed 10 pounds, 12 ounces and was the largest caught in Massachusetts by a woman last wear, netting Sarah the women's division for that species category in the Mass. Saltwater Fishing Derby for 2012. On another day, Sarah caught a 5-pound, 8-ounce black sea bass, also capturing the women's division for that species, making her the winner of two awards in the state derby. Ashton, who is eight years old, won the junior division for black sea bass with a 4-pound, 12-ounce fish, also caught while fishing with his dad.
"My husband is a great fisherman and a great captain," said Sarah, crediting Antonio with guiding them onto good fishing spots. "He was a commercial fisherman years ago, but we just fish recreationally now as a family. It's a lot of fun for us as a family. We fish all day long. It's very relaxing."
Sarah began fishing for scup from area bridges years ago but her husband was the one who got her out fishing from a boat. "I just love it, she says. But when it's very rough I get seasick. Sometimes it's so bad even the seasick pills won't work, but it doesn't keep me from going back. I always look forward to the next trip. I love the thrill of catching fish."
She also says luck has a lot to do with it and she usually has the charmed hook. "Even when I would be fishing from the bridges, everybody would be looking at me because they weren't catching anything and I'd be pulling in one fish after another. I'm just lucky."
When asked where she caught the fish, Sarah replied, "In 30 feet of water. That's all I can tell you. Antonio always says to Ashton and me, 'don't' tell anybody.'
Sarah said that Ashton also loves to fish and he fishes with his dad every weekend. "He's right there with him," she said. "Ashton is very competitive so he was just as excited as I was when we got the letter saying that we had won those awards. And for me, being a woman, it felt very good. When spring comes, we'll be out there all day. It's how we spend our time."
The DeMelos received their awards at a ceremony held during the Eastern Fishing and Outdoor Exposition in Worcester on Feb. 8. Sarah says Antonio is considering getting his official captain's license to take out charter fishing trips — and he would have been in the running for the derby's "Skillful Skipper" award which is presented to a for-hire captain who has the most derby-winning fish caught on their boat.
The Mass. Division of Marine Fisheries' Saltwater Fishing Derby awards pins to all qualifying entries in 21 species categories and presents trophies at the expo to anglers who landed the heaviest fish in each species category for the year. Winners are chosen in three divisions: men, women and juniors (age 15 and younger). To qualify for the derby, entries must be caught by hook and line and weighed in at DMF-certified weigh stations.
Gun owners who filled a town meeting to capacity on Wednesday were able to stop an oppressive town bylaw proposed by Westford Selectman Bob Jeffries that would have greatly infringed on the Second Amendment and civil rights of the town's citizens, ultimately calling for the surrender of thousands of firearms.
The bylaw would have banned all firearms that accept a magazine, thereby outlawing thousands of guns used by hunters, recreational and competitive shooters, and citizens who own firearms for protection and to exercise their constitutional right provided by the Second Amendment. The bylaw would have required gun owners to remove all banned firearms from the town within 90 days or surrender them to the police.
If it had passed, it would have set a dangerous precedent. What's ironic is that Massachusetts was the setting of numerous battles and bloodshed where courageous American colonists won our freedom from a tyrannical and oppressive government and set the stage for a free country, kept free by the Second Amendment. And yet today, many in this same state want to strip those basic freedoms from us. Is this what Massachusetts, home of The Minute Man — and our country, "Home of the Free and Brave" has come to? Shame. Shame on them.
Does banning firearms work? No. Take the dangerous and violent City of Chicago for example. It's illegal to possess a firearm on the city streets and only one operable handgun is allowed inside the home, yet there were 532 murders by criminals with firearms in Chicago in 2012.
In the clamor for gun control, which many feel is just a broken wing to distract attention from other national issues, Steve Sanetti, president and CEO of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), in an extended interview with the PBS Frontline program, emphatically says that the nation's firearms owners and firearms industry are not responsible for the criminal misuse of firearms and, consequently, should not be subjected to the severe restrictions being considered by Congress and many state legislatures.
And "local" government I will add, following this week's proposed ban and surrender of any guns in Westford that accept a magazine.
"Firearms owners are not the bad guys — the industry isn't the bad guys," said Sanetti in the interview, according to NSSF's press release this week. "Insofar as we can help the situation we want to be able to help. But that doesn't mean piling meaningless restrictions and onerous conditions upon people who want to exercise their rights and just enjoy what they do peacefully."
PBS has devoted unprecedented airtime this week across all of its news programming platforms to coverage of violence in American society. NSSF agreed to do the interview in order to provide the firearms industry's perspective on contentious gun and legislative issues. NSSF is the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry and has more than 8,000 members.
Following are quotes by Sanetti, taken from the interview.
On magazines. "Millions and millions of law-abiding Americans use semiautomatic firearms with detachable magazines of varying capacities, and millions and millions of them every day don't do a thing wrong. And so we feel that it's not the correct approach and do not support magazine limitation."
On Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) saying AR-style rifles are designed to kill people: "With all due respect he could not be more wrong ... You have millions and millions ... of Americans who pass a background check, who buy these guns and have millions and millions of magazines ... [Yet] the crime rate has been going down. If you tell these people ... who use these guns for legitimate purposes ... 'You're nothing but a murderer, because that's the only reason why anyone would own guns is to kill people.' How are you going to get these people to cooperate?"
Who or what is to blame for what happened in Newtown? "I think primarily the firearms owner in this instance was not exercising that degree of personal responsibility ... she should have done. She knew she had an at-risk individual in her home ... She knew he needed help. She knew he was mentally troubled. She had firearms in the house that she purchased legally. She had gone through all the background check required in Connecticut, the guns were registered to her, nothing was done improperly or illegally. But where I think she really caused this incident was by not adequately storing these guns securely away from her son who she knew to have these problems. Had she done that this incident would not have occurred and you wouldn't see this big cry over, let's have more gun control."
In the interview Sanetti also noted that in Connecticut in the past seven years, there were 40 deaths annually from knives, 320 deaths annually from clubs and 20 deaths annually from hands and feet.
"So it's not just firearms," he said. "Yes, firearms can be misused, but other things can be misused too. So the focus I think should be on violence."

Batbox Baton XD...
...An advanced bat detector that is affordable and easy to use
Frequency reduction of bat calls is accomplished in two ways; frequency division, which divides the ultrasonic sound spectrum by 10, in real time, secondly - time expansion, where the Baton XD, having selected the optimum few calls of the bat pass, instantaneously creates a high speed digital recording and then immediately plays it back 10 times slower. The unit does not go 'deaf' at any time during this process so no bat pass will be missed. The output can be sent to any recording device, including iPhone and Android phones, for instant or later spectrum analysis.
To accurately identify bat species from calls, four of the essential measurement criteria required are bandwidth, repetition rate, call shape, and relative intensity. The Baton XD provides all of this information via its two simultaneous modes. Both modes retain amplitude information and frequency bandwidth. The call repetition rate is available from frequency division and a more detailed output of call shape is provided by time expansion.
When conducting night time surveys, it is important to keep as much of your attention as possible for watching the environment, both for personal safety reasons and for accurate judgement of bat activity, which can be just as important for identification and behavioural assessment as sound analysis alone. For this reason the Baton XD has just a single tactile button for accessing all of its functions.
The single button operation controls the speaker output, channel swapping and volume change. The auto-sensing output adjusts automatically for different devices which might be connected to it such as headphones, line-out devices, recorders and smart phones.
The Baton XD is packed with the very latest advanced circuitry in a very small device and yet it only consumes 20mA. Battery life, even with a standard alkaline battery, is above 20 hours (depending on use) but can be considerably extended by using a lithium type to around 60 hours.
Baton XD is available with built-in strong magnets which will enable the unit to be attached to the exterior of most cars for mobile transect road surveys.

USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service will hold a series of listening sessions on the National Animal Identification System. The meetings will take place in Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington.
"USDA needs to hear directly from our stakeholders as we work together to create an animal disease traceability program we can all support," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "I encourage individuals and organizations to voice their concerns, ideas and potential solutions about animal identification, by either attending these listening sessions or submitting comments online."
APHIS seeks to gather not only producer comments and concerns, but also potential or feasible solutions to create a program producers can feel comfortable supporting. The listening sessions will include information about the current program, as well as providing an opportunity to give public testimony or ask program-related questions. Discussion sessions related to NAIS' cost, impact on small farmers, privacy and confidentiality, liability premises registration, animal identification and animal tracing will allow producers to provide their input on ways to make the program into something they all can support.
The public meetings will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. local time, with registration one hour prior to each meeting. The meetings will be held in the following locations:
• Thursday, May 14: Harrisburg, Pa.
• Monday, May 18: Pasco, Wash.
• Wednesday, May 20: Austin, Texas.
• Thursday, May 21: Birmingham, Ala.
• Friday, May 22: Louisville, Ky.
• Wednesday, May 27: Storrs, Conn.
• Monday, June 1: Greeley, Colo.
Additional information on the meetings can be found at: www.usda.gov/nais/feedback.
In 2004, APHIS began implementing NAIS, an animal traceability system that would enable producers and animal health officials to respond quickly and effectively to animal disease events in the United States.

Developers, are you looking for a way to bring some of the most closely watched economic data into your next app? You can now build apps using BEA economic statistics, thanks to BEA's new application programming interface (API). The API provides direct access to gross domestic product (GDP) and related national economic statistics, along with regional economic statistics.
The BEA API allows developers to build a service to search, display, analyze, retrieve, or view BEA statistics. For example, you can create a "mashup" that combines BEA data with other government or private data sources to create new services or give your users a different perspective on their communities. Or you can design a tool that gives your users new ways to visualize economic data.
The API includes methods for retrieving subsets of BEA statistical data and the meta-data that describes it using HTTP requests. It delivers data in two industry-standard formats: XML (Extensible Markup Language) and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation).
A beta version of the service launched in May and was featured during the National Civic Day of Hacking.
To use the API, you need to register here. Full documentation is available in the API User Guide.

- Persistent alerts mode
- TextExpander support
Update includes:
- Landscape mode support
- Ability to quickly send a text message, initiate a FaceTime call, or share the contact info for names and initials detected from your notes' text
- Lengthened some of the alert sounds, when appropriate
- Improved detection for the days of the week

Today's Comic
Something That Moves
April 19, 2006
First off, this week in Boston, the
Gold Dust Orphan's show, "Cleopatra"
opens. Both Josh (aka "Real Jason") and myself have small roles in it. Since Saturday's performance is a matinee, I was thinking about doing a reader gathering afterwards. Anyone who comes to the show will get something special from me, too. More details on that tomorrow.
Anyway, on to other matters. My friend
Erica Henderson
is one of the most amazing artists around. She's been doing professional illustration since junior high - and it's great. She's also currently studying animation. Last week, she asked me, "Would it be okay if I animated the first S*P strip?"
Like I'm going to say no to THAT?!
So far, she has only the first 10 seconds done - she asked me to tell you all it's a work in progress. She also kept the character designs of the first strip. It's really weird and exciting to me to see the characters moving. I've always wanted S*P animated. Maybe one day.
Oh, and yes, Davan's dialogue is kinda low sounding - that's my fault. Sorry.
Anyway, here's the
first ten seconds of a moving S*P strip
. It should play in QuickTime. Whee! -

"Dear Sean Payton-Stop punting and go for it!!"
Anyone watch HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel? I'm a big fan myself and thanks to TiVo, I never miss an episode. One of the four stories from the most recent installment, which first aired about a couple of weeks ago, I found particularly interesting.
It was a profile of high school football coach Kevin Kelley and his Pulaski Academy football team from Little Rock, Arkansas. If you didn't see the episode, perhaps you've heard of them anyway. Sports Illustrated wrote an article about them a little over two years ago. So what's so special about them?
They never punt.
That's right. Every single time their offense faces fourth down, the Bruins go for it, even in fourth and long situations. This probably sounds completely insane to a lot of football fans but to Kelley, it would be insane not to go for it.
I don't believe in punting and really can't ever see doing it again...
...It's like someone said, '[Punting] is what you do on fourth down,' and everyone did it without asking why.
Not only do they never punt, but each time they kick off it's almost always an onside kick. The team has an entire package of onside kick types and specific kickers to execute each one.
It's simple math really. Statistically, it makes more sense and is more valuable to hold onto the ball and go for that first down, which the Bruins pick up about half the time, than give their opponent back the ball. Here's a slightly more detailed example:
Consider the most extreme scenario, say, fourth-and-long near your own end zone. According to Kelley's data (much of which came from a documentary he saw), when a team punts from that deep, the opponents will take possession inside the 40-yard line and will then score a touchdown 77% of the time. If they recover on downs inside the 10, they'll score a touchdown 92% of the time. "So [forsaking] a punt, you give your offense a chance to stay on the field. And if you miss, the odds of the other team scoring only increase 15 percent.
And that's just the extreme scenario. The statistical advantage of going for it is even greater when a team is between the 40-yard lines. Similar statistics support the decision to always onside kick as well.
But these are just numbers. The real question is whether or not this theory actually works on the field in real life football situations. Unfortunately, Pulaski Academy is the only barometer we have to measure because they're the only team bold enough to actually execute it. Since Kelley took over in 2003, though, he's led his team to a record of 104-19 and won three state championships. I'd say that's a ringing endorsement.
So why hasn't this caught on and why does every other coach, particularly those in the NFL, choose to spit in the face of probability, regularly defying the odds? In short: they're yellow-bellied cowards.
Despite cold hard facts that prove otherwise, NFL coaches allow their emotions to get in the way and cloud their on-field football decisions.
Subject as they are to scrutiny, coaches have incentive to err on the side of conservatism. No coach gets fired or ripped on talk radio for punting on fourth-and-four. Most do when they go for it and fail.
That's where Real Sports and Sports Illustrated leave the story, however, and where I pick it up. Because I think it's about damn time at least one NFL coach stop using his heart and start using his head. While I absolutely understand how tough it is to buck the trend with a career and a family to think about, the numbers just don't lie. So who is going to be the pioneer?
The truth is, it's going to take a coach with huge cojones to eventually attempt this unthinkable strategy at the sport's highest level and make my dreams come true. A coach who already has enough moxie to try something like, say, an onside kick to start the second half of his life's biggest game. You guessed it, I'm talking about Sean Payton.
Which is why I don't think it's a coincidence that the one NFL coach featured in Real Sports' piece about Pulaski Academy was none other than our very own Saints coach. Because let's face it, if there is a current coach in the NFL right now who might actually try something like this, it's our Payton. Reporter Jon Frankel with Real Sports must have been thinking along the same lines...
Jon Frankel: How tempting is it go for it on fourth down?
Payton: Well, I think it's extremely tempting.
So let's see it, coach! We know you've looked at the numbers and you want to. If there's any team well built to execute this no-punting philosophy at the NFL level it's most likely the Saints, with their dynamic and powerful offense that would assuredly benefit from the extra down. Otherwise, somebody, somewhere will eventually take the risk and become the NFL's guinea pig, most likely with great success. It might as well be the Saints.
What do you guys think? You scared, too? Or are you ready to see the Saints completely change the way everyone looks at football?

I've read other studies that show not punting the entire game would yield better results than playing it safe and punting.
I'd love to see a team try it in pre-season just to see how it works.

I don't know even if you can test it in preseason you'd get an honest assessment.
I am all for this... in face during the season I even brought it up. Especially with our offense. Anything under 6=7 yards go for it. Outside of that punt.
Especially during the play offs its all or nothing then you should play like it. I mean play it like its your last down every down. Call the game like this games means everything and we can't give up the ball at any cost.
Hell it will even take more pressure off of our defense.

Plus it would demoralize a teams defense to know that the Saints would go for it on 4th & long.

And that 15% can cost you the game.
I do get it though and well... I like it. But when it comes down to 4th and long... as in 10+ yards, I'd be inclined to punt.

Unless you are playing against a GW defense, you should punt.
Reason is simple: NFL isn't High School. You don't get to play the HS with 200 total enrollment, or the HS in which academics are much more valued than sports. In the NFL, not only are the dudes in front of you are as fast, as big, and as mean as you are, but the kickers can score 30 yard FGs. with consistency. You give your opponent the ball inside your 40 on a regular basis, most often than not they score, then kick the ball to you, and you get to do it all over again from your 20.
BTW, there was on such occasion in the NFL where a team went for it all the time on 4th down during a regular season game: The Rams did it back in 2001. At the beginning of the game, their punter got hurt, so Mike Martz just went on 4th down all the time. Worth to say, all the attempts were on the other side of the field. I believe the Rams ended up winning that game, but they were playing some sorry-ass team, I think it was the Cardinals.

The other thing is that in the NFL the other team is a professional football team. It's a lot more likely that a HS football team with a record of 104-19 is a lot better than the opposition.

I think it would be a wash in the NFL, you'd win some games but likely lose just as many. For the Falcons though, they would be getting the #1 draft pick.
This would be something to think about for the Pro Bowl to make it more interesting. Both teams having to go for it on 4th down. I'd watch it.

The Mets enter the Winter Meetings with three needs, but don't expect any to be met soon because of their approach of waiting out the process.
They are seeking a shortstop, a right-handed bat off the bench and left-handed reliever.
The Mets want an upgrade over shortstop Wilmer Flores, but for now aren't biting on Stephen Drew, Asdrubal Cabrera or Jed Lowrie. They could have had any of the three if they wanted and their thinking is to wait this out to see if their asking price will drop.
Another possibility, Didi Gregorius, was acquired by the Yankees in a trade. The Mets aren't inclined to deal to fill any of their needs unless a team takes either Bartolo Colon, Jon Niese or Dillon Gee. Because determining the free-agent market usually comes before trades, the problem facing the Mets in dealing their pitchers is teams needing pitching first want to see where Jon Lester, Max Scherzer or James Shields land.
So, for now, waiting appears to be the Mets' course of action. No surprise there.

Beer and circus!
The aforementioned words are not usually juxtaposed to each other. Nonetheless, Indiana University Professor Emeritus Murray Sperber found it in the most interesting of places – college campuses.
Dr. Sperber, author of Beer & Circus: How Big-Time College Sports is Crippling Undergraduate Education, delivered a talk in Baxter 101 Thursday delving deeper into his theories about the unique intertwining of college sports, alcohol consumption, the media and college.
According to Dr. Sperber, there have been three trends that have contributed to this increase in prominence of alcoholic consumption (the "beer") and the lifestyle commonplace in many large state universities (the "circus").
The first is the rise of the research imperative at large universities. Large state institutions like Indiana and Purdue, argues Dr. Sperber, have refocused their efforts on research, many times at the negligence of their undergraduates. In order to be tenured, professors are pushed to publish more and more articles in important journals and books in their field of study. It is research that garners prestige of the institution and having professors spend lots of their time teaching undergraduates is an inefficient use of their time, in context of the large state institution.
The second trend towards beer and circus on college campuses is the rise of ESPN. At the time of the network's founding in 1979, college football was relegated to Saturday afternoons, as per NCAA regulations. Around the time of the founding of the Big East, conferences began negotiating contracts with network organizations like ESPN. Thus, college football as well as other prominent athletic events like the NCAA Tournament rose in prominence with a voracious viewer ship. This is why NCAA football games can be seen nearly every day of the week during the season. The rise of television viewership of college sporting events saw a congruent rise in gambling. Today, the industry tops out at around $6 billion.
The third trend is the rise in Beer advertising. In the 1980s, according to Dr. Sperber, beer companies began to craft marketing campaigns with characters like Spuds MacKenzie and lowered the price of beer in order to direct their product towards the targeted demographic – college men. The consumption of beer rose, and those same marketing campaigns had an unanticipated side affect, attracting college women in droves to consume beer at rates never seen before.
In the aftermath of those three trends, Dr. Sperber would argue that two models of college alcohol consumption emerged – high binge and low binge schools. At high binge institutions, there is a great feeling of alienation among the student body. Many students come to high binge schools and "park" themselves in college for four years. Major partying and alcohol consumption begin in earnest on Thursdays instead of Fridays; many of these institutions never have Friday classes.
Many graduates of high binge schools articulate their "best college experiences" in terms of social interaction, whether it is reflecting on a sports championship won, major party or Spring Break.
Low binge schools have smaller classes, and libraries in these institutions are characteristically full most nights. Dr. Sperber was quick to note that alcohol consumption is germane on these campuses too; it is just relegated to the weekends. Low binge graduates generally reflect on their "best college experiences" in terms of professors as well as interesting or challenging courses; in other words, the educational aspects of school.
Dr. Sperber ended his talk noting that many university administrators have attempted to move away from an institutional model that seems to promote 'high binge' behavior. It is difficult to do so because of the entrenched research centric model of education coupled with the power and eminence broadcast sporting events. That is further complicated by the fact that many of the state institutions most prone to high binge behavior have administrators looking for promotions to other administrative positions, as the average state institution administrator stays at an institution for four years.
Many in the crowd found vindication for why they came to Wabash in Dr. Sperber's analysis.
"I think what we do here is a lot of hard work," said Tanner Tritch'10, "and all of the students who go to other campuses on weekends can probably testify to a lot of what he is saying is true. At other schools they might not take academics as seriously and they are there for more of the social purposes, which is a lot different than what we have here."
President Patrick White appreciated Dr. Sperber's analysis of the status of sports and found important information for Wabash to learn.
"Sports are very important at Wabash," he said, "and in his [Dr. Sperber's] talk he gave us a context of a larger world in which sports connect to the media, to larger universities, and to money. I think we have to find our way in which sports at Wabash remain steeped within and committed to our special traditions."

Marcus Smart scored 23 points and No. 22 Oklahoma State cruised past struggling Texas 72-59 on Saturday, the Cowboys' fifth straight win.
Markel Brown added 17 points for the Cowboys (17-5, 7-3 Big 12), who struggled offensively for long stretches but used their own tough defense to clamp down on the Longhorns.
The Cowboys shot 38 percent from the field, but Smart found enough room inside and out to carry the Cowboys past a Texas team struggling through its worst season in 15 years under coach Rick Barnes. Smart was 3 of 6 from 3-point range.
Ioannis Papapetrou scored 15 points to lead Texas (10-13, 2-8).
Saturday marked the end of the 23-game NCAA suspension for Texas guard Myck Kabongo, who is expected to play the rest of the season.

Certain theories have weightier real-world implications than others. When a capital case defendant is labeled a "psychopath" in court, it can literally mean the difference between life and death. Similarly, the pejorative label has serious consequences for someone facing lifelong civil detention as a sexual predator. Thus, critical analysis of the reliability and validity of the underlying theory is essential. Researchers whose work lends itself to partisan forensic application should expect scrutiny.
Here's what Benedict Carey, health beat reporter at the New York Times, had to say:
Academic disputes usually flare out in the safety of obscure journals, raising no more than a few tempers, if not voices. But a paper published this week by the American Psychological Association has managed to raise questions of censorship, academic fraud, fair play and criminal sentencing -- and all them well before the report ever became public.Carey's full article is HERE. I will be sure to keep readers posted on any further developments.
The paper is a critique of a rating scale that is widely used in criminal courts to determine whether a person is a psychopath and likely to commit acts of violence. It was accepted for publication in a psychological journal in 2007, but the inventor of the rating scale saw a draft and threatened a lawsuit if it was published, setting in motion a stultifying series of reviews, revisions and legal correspondence.
"This has been a really, really troubling process from the beginning," said Scott O. Lilienfeld, a psychologist at Emory University and a collaborator with one of the paper's authors. "It has people wondering, 'Do I have to worry every time I publish a paper that criticizes someone that I'll get slapped with a lawsuit?' " The delay in publication, he said, "sets a very dangerous precedent" and censors scientific discourse….
Dr. Hare's clinical scale, called the Psychopathy Checklist, Revised, is one of the few, if not the only, psychological measures in forensic science with any scientific backing…. Dr. Skeem and Dr. Cooke warned in their paper that the checklist was increasingly being mistaken for a complete definition of psychopathy -- a broader personality construct that includes deceitfulness, impulsivity and recklessness, though not always aggression or illegal acts. The authors contended that Dr. Hare's checklist warps that concept by making criminal behavior a more central component than it really is…. {NOTE: The New York Times later issued a correction of the above portion that is in red; clearly, it's wrong to call the PCL "one of the few, if not the only," forensic psychology measures with any scientific backing!}
"When we first wrote the paper," [Jennifer Skeem] said, "we saw it simply as a call to the field to recognize we were going down a path where we were equating an abstract concept with a checklist, and it was preventing us from looking at the concept more closely."
This evening, readers alerted me that Robert Hare has posted a lengthy response giving his side of the controversy. His essay, "On Fairness in Academic Debate: A Commentary on Poythress and Petrila (2010) and Related Matters," claims that Poythress and Petrila's critical opinion piece in the International Journal of Forensic Mental Health (see my May 30 blog post) was biased and one-sided. He presents a timeline of the events surrounding the lengthy delay in publishing the underlying psychopathy article by Skeem and Cooke in Psychological Assessment, and gives specific examples of their allegedly egregious misrepresentations of his work. He comments:
… Poythress and Petrila and Hart failed to give an impartial and complete account of the situation. Their actions resulted in publication and circulation of a seriously biased account of events, and a commentary in the June 11 issue of Science, which noted that there are several sides to every issue…. I have no arguments with their thoughtful and commendable views about the nature of scientific debate and peer review, and about the potential fallout from threats of litigation…. I would welcome a formal investigation of the entire matter by an appropriately impartial body. I also would be willing to engage in open debate with the parties involved…. Contrary to the characterizations of others, I made extensive efforts to use the academic system in this case, but [the Skeem and Cooke] article went beyond the boundary of fair academic debate and criticism. The nature of the issue and the authors' refusal to correct their egregious statements gave me no reasonable alternative….His full statement is HERE. Again, I encourage readers interested in this subject to read Skeem and Cooke's Psychological Assessment article, rebuttal, and surrebuttal and form your own opinions.
Would I do it again, given similar circumstances? Perhaps not, for like a whistle-blower the focus soon turns to the person who made the complaint and not on the issues and events that led to the complaint. Further, many in the scientific community believe that there are no grounds for litigation concerning academic works, no matter what the circumstances. I've learned from this experience that not all academics and scientists play by the accepted rules of science, and that legal redress for those claiming injustice is frowned upon by many as rocking the academic/scientific boat, however leaky it may be; a professional Catch-22 that serves to deny academics the legal rights enjoyed by the rest of the population.

Amarantus BioSciences Announces the Release of Research Report by OneMedPlace
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Amarantus BioSciences, Inc. (OTCBB: AMBS), a California-based development-stage biotechnology developing new treatments and diagnostics for Parkinson's disease (PD) centered around its patented therapeutic protein MANF, today announced the release of a 2-page research report by OneMedPlace Research. The report can be found at http://www.onemedplace.com/reports/Amarantus_Research_Analysis.pdf.
The report states: "Treatment with MANF prior to inducing PD-like conditions in animals protected the subjects from the onset of neuron degeneration. Even more impressively, in animals where Parkinson's was already present, treatment with MANF provided restorative benefits that included regaining motor function, as well as the maintenance and increase in function of the neurons that were still present. Cumulatively, these studies provide strong evidence that MANF has the potential to serve as a first-in-class curative treatment for degenerative neurological disorders that include PD. Amarantus is currently in the design and development stages to move MANF into clinical trials."
The report also states: "Amarantus owns the license for Power3 Medical Products' NuroPro Blood Test as it relates to Parkinson's disease. NuroPro is a diagnostic platform for the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases. The PD application of this diagnostic has completed proof-of-concept and Phase I clinical validation studies."

A strong finish over the final 200 meters by Dennis Frazee gave the senior and his partner, junior Geoff Lambert, to third place at Saturday's Wabash Hokum Karem. The Little Giants finished second as a team at the annual start-of-season event.
Trailing DePauw's Chris Dietrick at the entrance to Huntsman Track, Frazee outkicked Dietrick to the finish to capture the third spot in the standings with a time of 29:19. The pair of Sam Compton-Craig and Dustin Beck took seventh overall after just finishing behind the sixth-place team from DePauw by less than a second. Beck crossed the line in 29:32.
The Hokum Karem was created by J. Owen Huntsman, namesake of the 400-meter track where the runners start, exchange batons, and finish the race each year. Huntsman created the Hokum Karem after dreaming of a multi-directional relay race featuring runners alternating one-mile loops three times, handing off a baton to a teammate after each mile. (View photos from the 45th Hokum Karem race)
The Little Giants' final points of the race came from freshman Micah Milliman and sophomore Hugh Jackson, combining for a tenth-place finish (30:17). Wabash finished second with 13 points behind DePauw (7). The University of Indianapolis was third (25), followed by Millikin (33) and Wittenberg (38).
Wabash returns to action next weekend at the Great Lakes Colleges Association Championship meet at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana.

The provocative "Body Worlds & The Story of the Heart" exhibit has been extended another month to accommodate the crowds interested in checking it out at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.
An average of 2,000 people daily have seen the exhibit, according to "Body Worlds" communications manager Rhiannon Hendrickson. That exceeds other popular exhibitions the Museum has hosted, such as "Titanic" and "Quest for Immortality."
The Museum is also at an all-time high of more than 58,000 member households (nearly 8,000 households joined in March alone — many in anticipation of the latest "Body Worlds") and has hosted 45,000 students on school field trips to see the exhibit.
Originally launched in March and slated to end on July 18, "Body Worlds" will now run through Aug. 15. The exhibit displays more than 200 posed human cadavers and slices of organs and tissue preserved using a propriety process called plastination.
