Hey everyone. I hope everyone's had a wonderful Christmas holiday this past week. I myself received a gift of nasty flu-like symptoms. Managed to finish up some Omega (Mass Effect 3) DLC which I enjoyed.
You noticed I took a little impromptu break since the last time. The truth is I've been blindsided due to the sheer amount of responsibilities that landed. Let me give you a quick update on what's been going on in my world.
Raid Boss Matty
Not exactly a position I expected to land. Though I've managed raids before, they continue to remain a challenge right from conception, strategy, and execution. It's been difficult for me to pull off as a healer because I didn't want to kill anyone. Since I'm Shadow now, me killing someone isn't as likely (unless I purposely yank someone into the fire).
My former raid leader served a fine job in this capacity but came to me saying that he had to step down. I'm currently looking for some help in this department and seeing who shows the signs of being a possible leader for the future. So far, it'll be me in the interim. I've never tried recruiting a raid leader specifically outside of the guild before. Usually they come up from within the ranks.
Y'know, if at the start of the expansion you told me that I was going to be playing Shadow and raid leading by Christmas, I would've called you crazy.
I'm not going to say I'm afraid but it's definitely going to be a challenge to hold the responsibilities of a GM and as the raid boss. But we do what must be done. Actually, the only real thing that's changed is grabbing all the strats out there, watching game footage, and turning it into something concrete we can consistently utilize. One of the big problems is that sometimes the strategy doesn't always fit.
I already know what my biggest weakness is: It's the ability to identify how we can adapt to the various obstacles we run against. Sometimes a player comes up with an idea or a strategy that I don't think of until after the raid and I'm kicking myself for not thinking of it myself.
Luckily, I have a bright team of officers and players that just seem to recognize when I'm stuck. It's as if I have a tell or something (and I'm not going to ever play poker with these guys).
I picked up a new gig in addition to my current ones.
You guys know I'm an avid player of League of Legends. Gamefront offered me a spot on their team as a beat writer covering the game and it's related events. It's a nice little writing break from Warcraft.
I want to go back to that GM and raid leading bit for a moment. There's a piece of advice I'd like to share to anyone thinking about starting their own guild or raid group.
Keep your people at arm's length.
Don't get too attached to players because they come and go. And really, I should really take my own advice. I had one of my guys just disappear off the face of the earth shortly after American Thanksgiving. I'm at a complete loss as to what happened. This is a guy with multiple max level alts. To say it goes against his character is an understatement. We've had no communication at all.
Don't get caught up in stuff like that. Otherwise you might end up like me with nights where you just wonder what the hell happened. Did he sell his account? Is he in a ditch somewhere? When I come across no-show situations on this kind of a scale, I need to remind myself to not get too close to anyone else I'll get fraught with worry wondering what happens to people who just disappear. Players who transfer off? Eh, that's their prerogative along with others that just quit the guild. It's the ones who stop logging in without any notification that just give cause for concern of their well being.
I just hope the guy's okay.
With 2012 rapidly coming to a close and 2013 days away, I want to share a secret resolution of mine that I've held. I came real close last year to landing a dream position with one of my favourite game development companies. I secured the in-person interview and was flown down for it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to secure it. I resolve to try it again.
Devastated? Yeah. I was a shell of myself for the longest time. Kept beating myself up mentally and dragging myself down. Relived every moment. It took some time and some help but eventually I snapped out of it. I took a step back and re-examined everything objectively. I screwed up, but I came so close. Knowing what to expect means I can be more prepared the next time an opportunity like this comes around again.
Like in hockey, scoring chances don't just magically happen. You have to generate the chances. Even if you don't score on the first shot, sometimes it's the second or third rebound that eventually nets the goal.
God this hockey lockout sucks.
Sometimes you just need to dream a little big. What're your plans for 2013? What about your guild or your raid? And bloggers, congratulations to everyone that's managed to keep blogging after the first year. I find the second year to be hard (years three and four, you've sort of built up a disciplinary habit).
Don't give up.
Have a safe and happy New Year!

First the national numbers:
Conservatives: 31.9 (+0.2)
Liberals: 26.6 (-0.5)
Green: 10.9 (-1.7)
Bloc Quebecois: 9.7 (+0.2) (38.5 in Quebec (+0.1))
Other: 3.3 (+0.6)
Interesting, the Libs are back to 2008 election levels, but the Cons are a full 6% below their tally. And, although the NDP are showing signs of rebound, they are just shy of 2008 levels. I'd hardly fear the big blue machine, garnering 32% and 29% in polling this week, and one has to wonder why they aren't capitalizing on Lib weakness(of course the reverse is true as well). There is nothing here to justify Con bravado, we're at Dion levels and they are down considerably.
The Quebec numbers:
Quebec (MoE 4.40)
Bloc Quebecois 38.5 (+0.1)
Liberals: 19.3 (-3.4)
Conservatives: 16.0 (+2.2)
Green: 10.4 (-1.6)
Other: 3.1 (-0.3)
As Kady points out, the first time the Libs have fallen below 20% support in AGES. More concerning, this poll isn't a one off, we've seen consistent erosion from others and the trending is clear. I'm not reacting to this result, I put my Quebec concerns to a few people at the Thinkers Conference and wasn't overly moved by the lack of urgency. To be fair, I believe Quebec will largely be a campaign consideration, but at the same time I can't say I denote a coherent strategy. People will note, that the Bloc score is stagnant here, other federalist parties benefit, which suggests a ceiling does exist.
On the leadership front, although Ignatieff's numbers are dreadful, Harper's are concerning, with a much more rigid feel. Layton does well, part merit I suppose, but equally a by-product of after thought considerations.
I've been pretty impressed by the policy thrust we've seen recently. Although the announcements haven't garnered considerable attention, they will serve the rebrand well moving forward. That said, we clearly need an aggressive strategy in Quebec, Ignatieff needs to do another round of television/media interactions, a more visible presence, because part of this drip, drip, drip is a lack of catalysts.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Patrick Cole scored 21 points to lead five Coppin State players in double figures in a 98-78 victory over Cheyney Saturday in nonconference play.
The Eagles (1-4), who began the season by going 0-4 in the Maui Invitational, quickly jumped on the Division II Wolves (1-1). Coppin State led 49-34 at halftime.
Although Cheyney drew within 84-72 with 3:58 to play, Coppin State pulled away to win handily.
Besides Cole, Zachary Burnham scored 16 points for Coppin State while Michael Murray posted a 14-point, 15-rebound double-double. Troy Franklin scored 13 points and Taariq Cephas 12, both players coming off the bench. The Eagles scored 35 points off 24 Cheyney turnovers.
For the Wolves, Rashaad Slappy led four in double figures with 21 points. Jason Sabb finished with 19 while Eugene Lett and Brandon Norfleet added 13 and 12 respectively. Cheyney made just 3 of 16 treys.

Backpage Tells Attorneys General That They Won't Give In To Censorship Demand
from the good-for-them deptOn Tuesday, we wrote about how a group of grandstanding state attorneys general had moved on from blaming Craigslist for the actions of its users, now that they had successfully censored that site, and began demanding similar censorship for Backpage.com, the online classifieds from Village Voice Media. As a few people have sent in, Backpage does not seem interested in backing down, posting a public response and pointing out that they are operating perfectly in accordance with the law, that even the AGs admit that Backpage cooperates with law enforcement, and that the AGs would be better served going after those actually involved in the activities, rather than blaming third parties:
While no system is perfect, even the AGs acknowledge Backpage.com's good-faith cooperation with law enforcement.They also note: "Censorship will not create public safety nor will it rid the world of exploitation."
In the last two years, Backpage.com users have posted 58 million ads and only 6 million in the adult services section. Federal and state authorities have called on Backpage.com to testify in just five cases involving alleged abuse of underage persons. Backpage.com continues to respond to valid subpoenas from law enforcement officials whose job it is to investigate, apprehend and prosecute criminals who wrongfully post illegal ads and victimize others.
Backpage.com is disappointed that the AGs have determined to shift blame from criminal predators to a legal business operator in an apparent attempt to capitalize on political opportunity during the election season.
Of course, rather than recognizing any of this and maybe backing down, Connecticut Attorney General (and Senate candidate) Richard Blumenthal responded in typically misleading fashion:
"I am deeply disappointed by this unfortunate and unfounded resistance to taking common-sense steps toward protecting women and children. I am hopeful that the company will reconsider its resistance and do the right thing. I will consult with my fellow attorneys general and consider possible next steps."Notice that he does not respond to any of the actual points raised. He does not respond to the fact that shutting down these services won't do anything to help protect women and children and will almost certainly make the problem worse. He just pretends that the world is the exact opposite of what it is. It's as if Richard Blumenthal thinks that everyone out there is incredibly dumb and believes the world works as he says it does, rather than how it actually works.

DMO Chapters are encouraged to develop a local policy for engagement in municipal races. The policy will require approval by the DMO National Board before any action is taken. As each jurisdiction has individual laws, we recommend you follow the same guidelines as for federal candidates (above). If you wish to move beyond those restrictions, you must first:
A. Develop a written plan for political action and compliance.
B. Pay for and obtain an opinion by DMO's attorneys and if they recommend, the opinion of an election law specialist in your state.
C. Obtain the approval of the DMO Board of Directors.
The Chapter will be responsible for any required state or local registration, reporting, or filing and any legal or staff costs incurred by the national organization for compliance.
However, if local laws allow, there is much that can be done without spending resources that would fall under most reporting requirements. The following are a few options available to identify municipal candidates who meet the qualifications set by the State Chapter.
DMO Certified
DMO "Certified" candidates are candidates participating in non-partisan races who have submitted a questionnaire and completed a personal interview and been deemed to indeed be a "Democrat" seeking the non-partisan office.
DMO Endorsed
"Endorsed" candidates may run in either partisan or non-partisan races and will meet additional criteria as established by the Chapter.
An individual Certified and/or Endorsed candidate who is the only Certified/Endorsed Democrat in their race and/or Multiple Certified and/or Endorsed candidates who are not running against an incumbent DMO, may be eligible for certain benefits which may include:
1. The right to purchase the use of our state mailing list for the purpose of soliciting contributions from our members.
2. Opportunity to speak at Chapter events.
3. The right to use a "DMO CERTIFIED" logo on their political materials.
4. Profile email blast(s) to the state membership.
5. Nomination as a DMO "Blue Star" Candidate to the national organization. Star candidates are those in competitive races whose victories will ensure that a Democrat wins or holds an important seat. "Blue Star" candidates will receive additional benefits from the national DMO.
6. And other benefits as the chapter may develop.
"BLUE STAR" Candidate Program
Democratic Municipal Officials (DMO) is developing a national "Blue Star" Candidate Program. This program will provide national attention to local races where a pivotal seat can be won or held, particularly mayoral races and council races whereby a victory would give control of a Council/Board/Commission to Democrats. Although any candidate can be referred for consideration by the Chapter Board, an emphasis will be placed on selecting candidates whose victory would change or hold Democratic control in that municipal body.
Chartered DMO Chapters may refer one or more of their "Certified" or "Endorsed" candidates each election cycle to the national DMO Board of Directors for consideration. Candidates accepted into the "Blue Star" Candidate Program will be recognized as such and will be referred for mentoring, fundraising and technical assistance to a multitude of national and regional organizations which may be inclined to help in municipal races. The candidates will also be highlighted in a national email to the full DMO membership who will be solicited to support the campaign financially.

The Elf-friends were those, usually among Men, who were recognised by the Elves as providing special aid or alliance to their efforts. The Quenya terms were technically Eldandil ("Devoted to the Eldar"), or Quendil ("Devoted to the Quendi") or Elesser.
Among the Edain and Dúnedain, the Elvish words for "Elf" and "star" were often confused, since they sounded similar. Thus Elendil or Elvellon was used by them to mean "Elf-friend", though it actually signifies "Devoted to the Stars".
The plural form Elendili, was one of the names for the Faithful Númenóreans.
Notable Elf-friends
The concept of the "Elf-friend" is recurrent in Tolkien's legendarium, both in meaning and in name. The name Ælfwine/Elfwine is an actual Old English personal name that means "Elf-friend" and has survived in modern times as Alboin or Alwin/Elwin. This word has been the basis for several characters and terms:
- Elendil
- Nimruzîr
- Elvellon
- Elfwine son of Éomer
- Ælfwine of England (also known as Eriol)
- Alwin Lowdham
- Alboin

#idea for an augmented sense useful for musicians: add the ability to hear whether or not a note is in tune. Not sure how best to implement this — some sort of kinetic feedback system would be the most straightforward, but doesn't seem true to it's purpose in the same way that the belt buzzing north does.
How about a small speaker on the shoulder/in a hat which plays a very quiet A 440hz — then use the beats to judge whether or not the note is in tune.
Possible problems: might only work adequately for A and related notes (E, maybe D), might be irritating to have a constant sound — like artificial tinnitus. Also irritating if notes which the wearer doesn't control are slightly out of tune! Probably the most simple solution is to allow the sound to be toggled quickly and easily.

Hm, the "people thinking that I'm 25" thing is happening a bit too regularly. Can't decide whether this is a good thing, or to trim the beard.
Fascinating — Konrad Lorenz compares cultural revolution with exoskeleton-clad Arthropods shedding their shells:
The act of demolishing carefully erected structures, though indispensable if better adapted ones are to arise, is always followed by a period of vulnerability.

The folks at MindTapp dropped us a note to tell us about their new iPhone app, PhotoNest [$1.99 - iTunes link], that allows you to easily -- and visually -- post pictures to Twitter:
Twitter is an amazing real time communication tool, but it only sends links to photos and not photos themselves, which isn't very pretty.
We are dedicated to fixing this! PhotoNest is an application that goes through your Twitter feed and looks for photos that your friends have posted. It then pulls that photo out and puts into a nice visual stream of photos from your Twitter friends.
The photos show up in a vertical stack. Tapping on one takes you to a full-screen view. Tapping on the action button sends you to the web page where the photo is stored (no "reply", "retweet", or "email link" options there that I could find -- which is a real shame). You can post pictures of your own either by taking one via the embedded Camera or by picking one from your Photo galleries. It works well for what it is, and I like focused Twitter apps, but hopefully it will get rounded out over time. An option grid view, for example, to rapidly parse and select photos would be great.
I'm a well known sucker for Twitter apps but I'm not a huge photo poster (outside of trade shows) or follower of high-volume photo posters, so I'll have to wait and see what Leanna and the other far-cooler-than-me writers think before rendering final judgement. In the meantime, ask if you have any questions and if you've tried PhotoNest, let us know what you think!

Full Description
This is a perfect Crystal Skull carved from AAA Top Quality Labradorite from Madagascar.
When held in the sun this crystal skull absolutely comes to life!!! The sun captures the stones hidden colors and displays them with a bursting Shine!
It is very difficult to capture the huge amount of color this crystal skull contains with a camera!
According to an Eskimo legend, the Northern Lights were once imprisoned in the rocks along the coast of Labrador. It is told that a wandering Eskimo warrior found them and was able to free most of the lights with a mighty blow of his spear. Some of the lights were still trapped within the stone, and thus we have today the beautiful mineral known as Labradorite.
Metaphysical and Healing properties of Labradorite:
Labradorite is a stone of otherworldly energies. It is mystically alive with cosmic inner radiance! It is an excellent stone for astral and ethereal travel. Labradorite is also a stone of psychic energy. It enhances intuition and psychic perception and helps the bearer to release judgment, and understand their destiny. Use it to bring Light to the shadowed realms of the self and to connect with the power of the waning Moon.
Labradorite is a stone of enthusiasm, self-confidence, and inspiration. It dissipates negativity and brings clear understanding, while enhancing clarity of thought and improving one's ability to cooperate with others in harmony. Labradorite works to boost perseverance and strength. It enhances intuition when one is experiencing times of conflict and change.
This gorgeous Crystal Skull is hand carved with the utmost attention to realism.
This is one of our High Definition Crystal Skull Carvings. Completely hand detailed with carved out jaw & cheekbones.
This Labradorite Crystal Skull measures 1.6 inches front to back.
Connecting with your Crystal
Welcome your new crystal into your home by setting aside a little one on one time for just the two of you! Sit with your crystal and feel its energy opening and connecting with your heart center. Find a special place to keep your crystal where you will see it often and be able to connect with it. Working with Crystals for Crystal Healing is a fun, easy way to elevate your personal energy and deepen your connection with Mother Earth. Each Crystal is unique and offers its own special gifts. See our Crystal Definitions page for more info on specific crystal types.
How to Activate your Crystal
Crystals love to work with a purpose! In general, they are already "Turned On" and busy doing their own thing: Elevating Energies and pumping out Good Vibes! This is their natural state. We can tap into these elevated energies and combine forces by working with our crystals to expand and elevate our own energies and to connect with our highest self. This is done through activation and will set a field of expanded energies that will help us in our daily lives as we practice and deepen this connection with our crystalline friends.
To begin an activation, clear your mind and sit quietly with your crystal. Connect with your heart center and through your heart center connect with the crystal you are holding. This crystal is sharing its love and light with you, as you share your love and light with your crystal.
Think of activation as the growing and expansion of energy layers. The first activation establishes a connection between the crystal and the user, creating the first layer. These layers continue to grow, for both ourselves and the crystal, as we continue to connect. This energy field becomes more stable over time as we continue to connect and reconnect.
Cleansing your Crystal
Stones of all kinds are energetically alive. Crystals and Gemstones carry their own vibrations and can be influenced by subtle energies and/or thoughts and actions taking place around them. Crystals also have the ability to be cleansed of influences that have touched them before or after they have come to you. When gemstones are energetically cleansed they are cleared of all energies other than their own, and until they are used again in ritual or meditation, they will generally remain cleared. For some people, it is important to cleanse, wash and purify their gemstones and crystals before using them. For others it is not. This is really a personal preference, one that you may feel into on an individual basis.
Feel into your crystal when you first receive it. How does it feel? Does it feel yummy and scrumptious; is it a pure delight? Then maybe it doesn't need cleared at all. But, if you feel guided to make this new gemstone truly a piece of your own, and perhaps also to have a special bonding session with your new crystalline friend, then cleansing your crystals should be easy and fun. Below are a few ideas for consideration, but you may be inspired by something entirely different! The key is to have an open heart and to connect with your crystals just as you would with any person or spirit guide.
Listed below is one of our favorite methods. For a more exhaustive list of possibilities, see our Crystal Cleansing Guide.
Cleansing your crystals with the method of energy and intention:
Hold your crystal with the intention of Pure Love & Light enfolding it. Feel yourself and your crystal being surrounded within a sphere of very supportive white or golden light energy. (You may also play with different colors, if you enjoy color healing!) Begin to feel Cosmic Love and Source Energy flowing throughout your body and directly into your crystal. Stay within this protective sphere for as long as you feel guided. This is also an excellent way to begin any meditation.

A clampdown on prostitution in Doncaster has seen problems in the town's red light district reduced by a quarter.
Doncaster Council and partners are working together with communities to tackle issues in the Town Moor and Wheatley area.
Residents had raised some concerns about the presence of sex workers in the area and the consequences.
Working together, the Council, Police, the community and other partners such as the voluntary sector service Changing Lives have driven down the problem – seeing activity dropping by 25 per cent already.
Councillor Pat Knight, Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Health said: "Doncaster Council is working with partners to tackle this complex issue, which has affected communities across the country for decades. We don't have a huge problem in Doncaster, but we did have some concerns in this area of the town so that is why we are focussing our efforts.
"We believe that these issues are complex and that more than one approach is needed to successfully tackle the issue. That is why, together with our partners, we are offering people support to change their lives as well as, if that fails, taking further legal action. Importantly, we are tackling those that use these services and not just those that are offering them.
"Work to improve street lighting and CCTV has been completed to discourage criminal and anti-social behaviour and outreach work is on-going with the aim of helping people to change course."
In order to respond to residents' concerns the Council has commissioned Changing Lives (formerly Platform 51) to provide outreach work to support the sex workers.
A spokesman from Changing Lives said: "We work to make a real difference through effective, pioneering and innovative services. We are committed to respecting and empowering people.
"We will work with the women who are given Engagement and Support Orders to help address the many underlying causes of their engagement in sex work and provide them with the support they need to access services to make a difference in their lives."
The Council and partners work in the Town Moor and Wheatley area has also included:
• An increase in the frequency of the street cleansing schedules to respond to complaints of littering.
• The removal of branches on the trees on Town Field to improve the effectiveness of the street lighting to discourage anti-social behaviour and crime.
• Increased CCTV in the area.
• Additional Safer Neighbourhood Team patrols, providing a visible presence as a deterrent but also, and importantly, to provide reassurance to residents.
Sgt Carl Lindley said: "South Yorkshire Police is working closely with a number of support services to deliver an effective partnership strategy aimed at tackling prostitution-related issues. The Force's primary role in this strategy is to identify and manage vulnerability through a range of proactive measures, including proactive enforcement activities.
"These activities target kerb-crawlers, and generate referrals to the 'Change Programme'. This is an independent scheme adopted by several other Police Forces nationally, which boasts a reoffending rate for those offenders referred into the scheme of less than 2%. The method is designed to reduce overall demand for sex-work. Several courses have been run to date, which have already generated £1,000 in available community funding.
"Other activities include those in relation to sex-workers. These generate referrals for Engagement and Support Orders via the Magistrates Courts, with a view to diverting individuals away from the lifestyle and reducing the overall supply of sex-work. Persistent sex-workers ultimately risk receiving an ASBO upon conviction."
Tracey Cheetham, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner, who leads on women's issues on behalf of the South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner said: "Both the Commissioner and I are working very hard with partners, community workers and voluntary agencies to engage with the women and find out why they are turning to the streets in the first place.
"Some of the women have complex needs and are feeding an addiction; for some, life events can mean they find themselves without the means to pay for food and clothing. Times are very hard out there and although we appreciate that not everyone will turn to prostitution as a way to make ends meet, sometimes these women can simply see no alternative.
"There are some fantastic organisations that have been funded by the Commissioner in both Doncaster and throughout South Yorkshire working with the women to provide educational training, support and advice to guide them away from the streets and into a more conventional line of work.
"We must remember that the men who create the demand for prostitution also need educating and there are measures in place, such as the Change Programme, to help them to understand the impact their behaviour has and deter them from kerb-crawling. Residents in affected areas need to see that action is being taken to help improve their neighbourhoods and make them the pleasant environments they wish to live in.
"The Commissioner is frequently receiving positive updates and works hard with South Yorkshire Police and Doncaster Council. We all appreciate that whilst we are seeing good results, through outreach and support work, this is a long journey and there is still more to be done."

It Happens More Than We ThinkPosted by rtmsf on July 25th, 2007
Now that we've had a few days to mull over our thoughts with respect to this Tim Donaghy scandal, and after watching the Commish and High Priest of All Things Basketball grin and bear it through an excruciating (for him) press conference yesterday, we still find ourselves circling back to our initial thoughts when the news broke.
It happens more than we think.
Yes, it's horrible and it shows a lack of oversight of its refs by the L and it calls into question the very integrity of the game that Stern and his predecessors have worked so hard for so long to ensure…
And it raises valid questions about the possibility of other officials involved, other leagues involved, other (gasp) players involved, the plausibility of collusion, whether this is an isolated incident, and what, if anything, the lords of professional and amateur sports can do to contain it or snuff it out completely…
And yet, the simple answer is that they can't.
We like to imagine that this kind of thing can only happen in far-flung places in sports far inferior to ours, the kinds of places where officials have one foot on the field and one in the smoky backroom pub scene that gives rise to the incentive in the first place (are we talkin' about this or are we talkin' about this??). The kinds of places where institutional shadiness is the rule for getting anything done. The kinds of places where judges fix Olympic matches and sporting heroes are eliminated for their on-field transgressions. After all, we live in the USA – the land of internal controls and open transparency and due diligence and audit trails and CYA and watchers of the watchers of the watchers, right? Right?
So how much are your Enron or Worldcom shares worth these days?
So where are those shifty WMDs located after all?
So when does OJ come up for parole again at San Quentin?
Does Your Guy Offer Teasers?
This is not to say that we buy into the avalanche of conspiracy theories that were already surrounding the NBA prior to last Friday. All those chirping Suns fans need to pipe down – Donaghy betting the Over didn't make your team lose. However, we also mustn't keep our heads in the sand here. Stern told us yesterday and he's going to preach the mantra again and again that this was an isolated incident of a lone gunman referee. But doesn't your gut tell you that, while Donaghy probably acted alone here, there have been others in the past? Maybe there are others now?
When we heard that the ACC, attempting to capitalize on the NBA's bad publicity to tout its own integrity, stated that they spend $135 on a background check of each of its officials, we couldn't contain our hearty guffaws. The Big Ten makes an identical claim. While kudos are in order that these two leagues are doing something to show that its hired hands possess a modicum of integrity, we know for a fact that a simple background check revealing a very basic civil/criminal and credit history gives minimal information with respect to whether someone is a closet gambler or would become compromised to the point of taking money to impact spreads. How do we know this? Well, as we were formerly under the employ of a company specializing in "security consulting," we understand that any deliverable under $1000 each for this type of work will be fraught with gaping holes in coverage and generally suspect as a useful tool – it's simply not enough.
And what about the 29 other D1 leagues and their officials? Is anyone doing background checks on these guys? Is anyone evaluating their calls with the same gusto that the NBA and NFL does (and yet, Donaghy still slipped under the radar until the FBI overheard his name on its mob-related wiretaps). According to Stern, Donaghy (a 13-year veteran) was making a hefty $260k/year (a first-year NBA official will make $85k). MLB umpires start at $88k and range up to $300k/year. As essentially part-timers, NFL referees make between $42k – $121k/year. What about NCAA refs? In college basketball, they work as independent contractors and get paid approximately $2000 per game – as an example, Ted Valentine worked 98 games last season, so his annual salary would have been $196k. In college football, the requirement of more officials equals less pay, averaging around $1100 per game for each.
Is $100k-$200k Enough for NCAA Refs?
Where there's a vacuum, there is an incentive. At the professional level, the officials on the floor/field make at best 10% of the league average of the players. In college officialdom, the money isn't as good as their professional peers and the oversight is accordingly weaker. What this means is that, if done correctly selectively, by keeping it completely to yourself (read: online betting using false credentials and third-party transaction services – hello IRS audit!) or with one trusted associate, and appropriately obfuscating the winnings, it is virtually impossible to determine whether a Mountain West or Sun Belt or Big 12 or SEC official is influencing pointspreads and/or outcomes for personal enrichment. He could earn several extra thousand dollars per week (not enough to move the Vegas lines) without so much as an eyebrow raised.
The professional leagues like to claim that this never happens, but we already know that it does. What about the Black Sox scandal of 1919, Pete Rose, Tim Donaghy and even perhaps the sacred cow of the NFL, who according to investigative writer Dan Moldea, at least seventy games were fixed throughout the 1950s-70s? At least nowadays we can rest assured that these leagues are on notice for corruption, even if as in the case here with Donaghy, it is not outed earlier. The NCAA environment, however, is more ripe for corruption of this type, with its witch's brew of amateur players, not-as-well-compensated officials and an incredible lack of oversight from most leagues. Can the Pac-10, for example, show how each official calling games in its league did ATS and O/U for the last four years to sniff out evidence of possible corruption? Doubtful.
Found in John Clougherty's Pockets!
A recent statistical analysis from the Wharton School at Penn suggests that one percent (~500) of NCAA basketball games from 1989-2005 fell into an outlier that suggests gambling-related pointspread corruption. This dovetails with a 2003 NCAA report that states that 1.1% of NCAA football players and 0.5% of NCAA basketball players accepted money to play poorly in a game (extrapolating from the sample suggests that this affects ~21 basketball and ~112 football players annually). Somehow the math isn't adding up (500 games/17 seasons = ~30 affected games/year in NCAA basketball) – what could possibly account for that difference?
While we can't find an example of an NCAA official becoming involved in a pointshaving scandal like what we've seen at Boston College, Arizona State and Northwestern in recent years, we have no doubt that it occurs – much like Donaghy until he got busted, they're probably just better at hiding it.

GUEST POST: Mike Crump on Robert Liston and the Spectacle of Surgical Amputation
Today's post comes from Mike Crump, a brilliant young neuroscientist doing impressive brain research at Oxford (which is far too complicated for my humble art historical mind to fully understand, let alone articulate to you, so I won't embarrass myself trying). When not discovering awesome brain things, Mike is interested in the dark corners of the history of science and medicine. He's written a great article for the blog about a ridiculously interesting Victorian surgeon, Robert Liston, who was one part medical innovator, one part sensational showman. So read on for a bit of gruesome and fascinating history about a man who could amputate a leg in less than 30 seconds, and did so in a most spectacular style… Continue reading

(visited by Sacha Peter and Ann W)
23-Sep-2006 -- The last and only time this confluence was visited was over five years ago. Looking at it on a map, I thought it would be an easy drive to the proper point, so I was suspicious what the catch would be.
It turns out that the only reason why this confluence point has never been visited before was because it is so far away from anywhere that nobody has visited it again.
To arrive at the confluence point, drive south on US-285 from Carlsbad until you nearly hit the Texas border. There will be a bright green road sign with a Texas flag, and an abandoned building on the left side of the highway. Just before the abandoned building, make a left turn onto Eddy County Road 726 (which is a decently maintained gravel road with a couple hills, a car should be able to handle it with no problems) and head east for nearly two miles. You will hit 104W and don't even have to get out of your vehicle to take four confluence pictures within the valid radius of 100 meters, but in order to zero out your GPS, you need get out of your vehicle to walk a few meters south.
Upon reaching the confluence, the rock cairn that was left by the previous confluence visitor is still visible today. Other than that, the ground terrain seems more lush than it was five years ago.
I did not find any evidence of an abandoned railway track, but then again, we weren't looking for too long since we had to make it back to the Carlsbad Caverns to watch the bats take off (which they did at 7:02pm, local time). There is ample room to turn around on the gravel road and there also is a turn-around area for larger vehicles about 150 meters west of the confluence.

Steve Jacks, a 2006 cinema arts alumnus, worked as assistant editor on the film The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete. The film was showcased, among many others, during the Sundance Film Festival last month in Park City, Utah.
The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete is a "story about two young boys living in the projects of Brooklyn, who are left to fend for themselves after their mothers are taken away by the authorities. Throughout this experience, a unique friendship begins."
"I watched the film with a packed audience at the Eccles Theater in Park City — the largest theater that seats 2,700 people — and it got a standing ovation when it finished screening," said Jacks. "There's no better feeling than to see your work make it through to the final cut."
As assistant editor, some of his responsibilities included running the cutting room, making sure the primary editor had everything he needed to begin the editing process, relaying information from the sound recordist and script supervisor, selecting sound effects and helping with the pass on the final cut.
"The assistant editor is a very important role," said Jacks. "The editor has the task of cutting the film together, but the assistant is key in making sure that nothing gets in the way of the editor doing his job."
Jacks credits much of his success to his Point Park experience.
"Of all the great things I learned at Point Park, whether it was technical editing concepts or even creative directing techniques, I would say that learning to work in groups is crucial to the success at any job," he said.
The Sundance Film Festival is one of the largest independent film festivals in the United States.

For all the talk about Zenyatta possibly being the best racehorse ever, what was left out of the debate was her equability to keep a diary. Entry #261 was posted on Zenyatta.com today. Here's a portion of what she had to say:
Thank you so much for all of the kind messages you have sent ME offering congratulations on my IN FOAL news! Dottie and John were reading them last night and told ME about them! I am still chuckling at the cute names all of you are suggesting.
I also thought it was TOO CUTE when you referred to ME as having a BABY BUMP! I'm still giggling over this comment! And a name that is still making me smile is WINK WINK! How precious is this! ...
With Love,
Hugs to all~(Especially my dear JOHN on his birthday!)
Congratulations, breeders.

ccarella needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 276 designs submitted by 61 freelance designers.
We are a husband and wife team in an early stage NYC startup. In our former lives, we worked with dozens of major brands on interactive software projects, including one Emmy award winning community project. However, we left all of that behind to create our own company, where we build our own software and work on getting our butts into shape.
Our goal is to motivate people to work out regularly, through game mechanics and social support.
Players enter their workouts and earn points based on the duration and intensity of the workout. Points allow the players to compete against their friends on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Players are notified when their friends enter new workouts and can comment on each other's workouts to motivate and support one another.
We have been playing a rudimentary version of this game with friends, off and on, for years and it works. Since rejoining the game two months ago, our two person team has lost a combined 40 pounds. Now we want to make the game accessible to other people who need an extra push to get off the couch.
Our target market is Internet using adults comfortable with sites like Facebook, Flickr and Twitter, who want to be more active. YoGoGo rewards people for any type of physical activity, from yardwork to jogging to lifting weights or playing sports.
We are looking for a modern, simple logo with clean lines. The logo must scale well as to be suitable for a web page or an iPhone app icon (45x45px).
We are open to illustration and imagery that suggest fitness, but it should imply a broad range of activities. There are plenty of applications out there that target niche sports and activities, so we don't want a logo that specifically implies one activity like running.
The design should appeal to both men and women.
The logo may include the name "YoGoGo", but it's not required.
Iconic illustrations are not required but encouraged.
We prefer a flat look, not 3D or glossy.
The deliverable should be in a vector format (.eps or .ai).
Update 1: The word YoGoGo in the logo design should have a highly legible font. It is important that the brand name is easy to read.
Update 2: We have been getting a lot of submissions in the red,orange,green blue interlocking pieces forming a shape. We have seen some great examples of that style but at this point are looking for a greater variety of logo styles.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

- In the corner on one of mine, the words "all rights reserved" were printed so I cut another section out of an extra napkin.
- If you want, you can trim the napkin down so it fits the face of your tile plus ¼" extra on each of the four sides.
2. Coat top of tile and sides with decoupage.
3. Gently lay one of your napkin pieces on top of the tile, centering it as best as you can.
- Most likely you will not be able to pick up your napkin without ruining it so if you need to move it a bit, gently pull the edges in the direction you want the napkin to go.
4. Once the napkin is where you want it, use your fingers to smooth it out on the top of the tile and around the edges.
5. Carefully pick tile up. Use your wet paper towel to clean up your work surface if you need to.
6. Apply another layer of decoupage to the top and sides of the napkin.
- You can leave the excess hanging from the tile (if you chose not to trim the napkin) and cut it off later - this is what I did. Or-
- You can add some decoupage to the underside of the tile and then press the napkin down using more decoupage. If you add the decoupage to the underside, make sure you set the tile something like a shot glass to make sure it doesn't glue itself to the surface it is drying on.
7. Set tiles on toothpicks (or shot glass) to dry.
- You might need to go back and press the sides of your napkin down if they've flipped up.
- I like to set projects that need to dry on an old cookie sheet so I can move them to a different location and not take up space on my workstation.
8. Wait about an hour for your project to dry… wait longer if you still see the decoupage.
9. Trim excess napkin away from tile if you need to. Hold the tile on its side and use a craft knife to cut the unwanted portions away.
10. Add a second coat of decoupage to top and sides of tile (and underneath if you went that route). 11. Let dry for about an hour or until no decoupage is visible.
12. Take tiles outside and spray with a sealer. Use one or two coats, follow directions on container. Let dry again.
13. Cut felt pieces (which is what I used) or craft foam to fit on the backside of your tile… you don't want to scratch up any tables. Glue felt or foam to back of tile using decoupage, use a bone folder to press to the back of the tile. Let dry.
- I cut my felt a bit bigger and rounded the corners with scissors to cover as much of the surface as possible. You could easily just cut the pieces smaller and skip the rounding part if you wanted to.
- I use a bone folder to press the felt down because I've been known to get carried away in the decoupage department and I'd rather the glue get on the bone folder than my fingers.
14. Ta! Da! You are done! Wait at least 24 hours before you stack them up and wrap them pretty with ribbon!
Have a wonderful week!

This afternoon the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit released a decision holding the daily recitation of the pledge of allegiance in a public school classroom to be unconstitutional with respect to its reference to the United States being "one nation under God." This decision is absurd. The first two of the founding laws of the United States are the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. The Declaration invokes God in manifold capacities including as Nature's God, as Creator who endows man with unalienable rights, as Supreme Judge of the World and as Author of Divine Providence. The Constitution concludes above the signature of George Washington and the founding fathers that it was "Done in Convention…in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven." How long will it be before the Declaration and the Constitution are declared unconstitutional?

We showed up when Tradition opened for the night. At 6pm, we opened the door that was unlocked and was told by the bouncer to wait a few more minutes outside. So out we went. Then we see him come out through a different door trying to move the gate and we walk towards him that way, thinking that maybe we're supposed to enter in through that door. Then we were told to wait by the first door... So then back to that door we went. After some minutes, the bouncer finally came back outside to check our ID's before allowing us inside.Tradition was empty at the time, obviously... since they just opened their doors for the night. We didn't have a reservation, but were first in line, so we easily found two seats at the bar. I rrrreallly had to use the bathroom, so I told my boyfriend what I wanted and he could order for me while I was gone. There were two bartenders tending to the bar, but it was hard to get their attention.. We sat on one side of the bar and were the only patrons sitting at the bar area at the time, but for the majority of the time, they face the other side of the bar?? I'm confused here, what's on the other side of the bar that I don't see.. The drink we got tasted like ginger and sugar water, with no hint of alcohol.They had a whiskey list, but it's outdated and they don't have some of the selections on that list. We settled for a different whisky that we spotted on the shelf and were sure they had it. The experience at Tradition was lackluster and sub-par. With so many cool bars in SF, I doubt that I'll return anytime soon.
Craft cocktails are our jam. Instead of focusing on one style of drink we attempt to embrace each spirit as its own and built a menu to support that. From backgrounds such as Tiki, …

| Success stories | Innovative intersection committee | Resources
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is committed to improving safety and mobility for all road users.
Incorporatinginnovative intersections and interchanges into the transportation network is one of the strategies VDOT is using.
Today, congestion and safety problems on roadways are more complex than ever, and conventional intersection and interchange designs can be insufficient for resolving transportation problems at busy junctions.
Innovative intersection and interchange designs modify howvehicles, pedestrians andcyclists moveat conventional intersections to provide transportation agencies and local communities with new options to reduce delay, increase efficiency and provide safer travel for all road users.
During the planning, design and construction phases of innovative intersections and interchanges, VDOT works with local jurisdictions to tailor the design to meet the specific needs at each location.
This page highlightsdifferent types of innovative intersections and interchanges, locations where innovative intersections and interchanges are constructed or planned for construction in Virginia and links to additional resources.
Innovative intersections and interchanges are being designed and constructed throughout Virginia. Use the map to explore locations where innovative intersections and interchanges are built or planned.

got a past life regression done at a store and some things started to happen around me,too me....it opened me some how,to things like a different kinda of sense i guess or gift....Terrance/Eagle
After some conversations with friends, I got curious as to what was the origin of people's interest in such things as ghosts, evps, things that go bump in the night.
Please don't go into long explanations; just a short reply so we don't end up listing all the details that should go into the Personal Encounters thread.
What started your interest in the paranormal?

I believe in all things paranormal because of all the personal experiences I have had regarding the subject. All I can really say, is seeing, sensing, and feeling is believing.

AND LIFE JUST GET BETTER,and more INTERESTING....
I gotta give credit to In Search Of. When I was 9 or 10 years old I saw an episode all about the Sasquatch and I was hooked. Ran down to the local library, read every book they had about Sasquatch, and then went to ghosts, cryptozoology, esp, all that stuff. Kinda lost interest for quite awhile, got into other things. Then when I got a computer, there was the internet, and I was off again. Been around ever since.

I saw something once that I didn't understand.
I heard strange noises that had no explanation.
But I could only pick one so I went with the "saw something" one.
