silar question - spoilers
i'm getting a bit confused with silars powers here, can someone enlighten.
i've seen the first season already and am watching again, last night was homecomming, just after 7mins to midnight
it seems quite clear in these eps that silar has to physically take the powers from others - removing the brain etc..., unlike peter who can absorb when simply in the same area. we also see silar's first encounter with eden - where she uses the voice on him.
however, in later episodes, silar is able to use compulsion on eden, and after encountering hiro, is like peter able to withstand his frozen time field.
so, does he have to take power physically (as we see him in 'six months ago'), or can he simply assimilate like peter?

Re: silar question - spoilers
The $64000 question indeed.
The key to silar and the way in wich he accesses his powers is his back story.
We discover he's a watchmaker by trade, but more importantly his passion is for looking and working out how a mechanisim works. So we extend this logic forward to his power - for him to "absorb" a power his mind dictates he needs to understand the working of the machine - and in this case its the brain of the machiene hence why he takes the brain out - note here that all you ever see is the brain being removed - theres no other piece of info such as he eats it or something else - he simply "removes" it. We can therefor extrapolate this is akin to him taking the brain out and examining it somehow in the same way he examins a watch - and once he understands how the mechanisim works he can then access that power.
Peter if you look at his absorbing power is not to dissimilar. he only learned how to fly becuase of his strong emotional bond to his brother.. next after being tought to access poewrs he does this by "thinking2 about that person who had those powers... he's therefor in his own way examining the mechanisim but becuase he was a paliative care nurse his mind is more intune with the person... he emotionally connects to humans and thus is able to access those powers.
Personally I think Silar and perter have exactly the same power but becuase they access the world in a different way - silar looks for mechanics, peter looks for the human connection they absorb and therefor access their power in a different manner - however most importantly they BOTH "absorb" and could both do it in the same way if they thought the same way.
as for Peter being able to withstand the frozen time field this can be easily explained - the first time he meets Hiro its an intentional meeting - Hiro is controling the time bubble... ok we know peter absorbs powers so in later episodes is "immunity" to time fields could be explained by peter subconciously activating that power (even though he dosent understand how to fully use it) to break out of the time bubble.
Silar - well this one is a little more difficult but again we know he eventually kills her to get her power, yet seemingly resists her first... this for me was the key event (though could have just been sloppy writing) as its shows he is able to absorb in the same way as peter (even though he didnt realise it at the time) and therefor be "immune" to the effect prior to killing her.

Re: silar question - spoilers
As I said in my post I "believe" Sialar absorbs in the same way as perter BUT he dosent understand this - for him he "must" take the brain out to take the power...
Ok so stick with me here Silar absorbs power off people he meets exactly the same way peter does, but becuase his mind is purley focused around the mechanical he dosent understand this untill he takes the person appart - hwever he still has the power before this - he's just not able to conciously access the power.
So if we accept this we can say he subconciously accessed the power to use the persauation effect - after all he was drugged up to the eyeballs and therefor more easily able to access subconcious abilities and turn it back on her... after he's killed her though his mind still dictates for him to understand and take her power he needs to take her appart - this all despite he's just used her power to kill her. he's just not connected the dots together and cannot see he dosent need to phsically take the person appart.
Though this again could just have been a poor writing at the time but if not this is the only way I can speculate the enigma

Re: silar question - spoilers
I so want to talk at length about this but it wouldn't be fair. (We Americans have seen the full first season)
But I absolutely love that it is generating the same excitement overseas. We have a group of folks in my hometown who all go to the tavern to watch it, with a bartender who works just 2 hours a week at the paticular place because it is airing.
Gotta love that Sylar.

Re: silar question - spoilers
Silar never used a power of a person he hadn't dismantled first. He never used Eden's power against her. He attacked her using other powers he did already have, but she killed herself to keep him from getting hers.

Re: silar question - spoilers
oh see someone else had the same conclusion as me. A note on Peter: Flying was not the first power he used, he was doing a precognition dreaming thing before he flew. My guess is that he picked that up from his patient in the beginning of the show. That guy later spoke to peter in his dream and was one of the originals with Ms. Patrelli, et al.

BWL's poor responses to the ice storm and a plant accident may be forgivable, but failing to abate mercury pollution is another matter entirelyby Mickey Hirten

Magic Mealsby Matt Mikus
The new contract between Lansing School District and SodexoMAGIC, a partnership involving Earvin "Magic" Johnson, will provide healthy eating options and a third meal for after school programs. The third meal means a nutritional dinner for students who participate in sports or other after-school activities. But it comes as a higher cost than the former contract.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 23 - FRIDAY, AUGUST 1by Jonathan Griffith
The summer is about halfway over and the cinemas have already beaten our brains senseless with yet more installments of violent transforming robots, planet conquering apes and the conflicts of misunderstood mutant heroes. Looking at the month ahead, the "blockbusters" aren't even close to being done with us yet — more Marvel superheroes, more sword-and-sandal epics and yet another serving of heroes in a half shell. Fortunately, the local theater scene has plenty of alternatives for kids … and adults looking for an oasis from summer's sequel sizzle.

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
Individuals who have received letters requesting homeowners send money to acquire a copy of the deed to their residence should contact the Indiana Attorney General's office, Decatur County Recorder Denise Zeigler said.
Earlier this week, the recorder's office was notified of a letter sent to multiple residents throughout the Decatur County community. The letter requests that homeowners send $80 or more to a company named in the letter in order to obtain a copy of their property deed. A copy of one's deed can be purchased at the recorder's office for $1 per page. This incident, a scam intended to prey on homeowners unaware their deeds are available locally and at a very small cost, is being investigated by the Indiana Attorney General.
Anyone receiving these letters is urged to call the Attorney General's office at 317-234-2354.

— In the world we live in we must, because of security reasons, use name tags,
wrist bands, lists and other means to make sure that people who are
in a place are actually those people who are supposed to be there.
There are reasons beyond security. If we plan food and beverages for an event we determine a head count for planning.
If everyone decided to crash a reception, the fire marshal could have something to say about overcrowding, so there would be a safety issue also.
People have guest lists for gatherings and there are reasons for that.
As a publisher of a newspaper I have a media pass. For years I have gone to high school football games, junior high basketball games - all sorts of sports activities - and can get into all of them for free because of my media pass. I have never done so.
I show my media pass to the ticket taker up front so they will know why I am taking photos on the sidelines or why I am up in the media box along with all of the other
media representatives from newspapers and radio. It is not a suite for VIP's. It
is a suite for the media to record the game, away from noise, up high so you
can see, and with lots of electrical outlets for equipment. You can stay at home and hear the game and read about it the next day in the paper.
When I go to a game I always hand the ticket taker my money to buy a ticket for admission or I show my season ticket that I have purchased in the fall. They always say, "No you don't have to pay. You have a media pass," and I say no. I do pay - always.
To say they put the special access band on my arm before I have a chance to pay, well, that dog won't hunt. Just because I am a publisher, that entitles me to nothing. As an elected official our mayor is a servant of the community that elected him. Being mayor entitles him to nothing simply by virtue of being mayor.
Because we have publisher, mayor, doctor or corporate CEO in front of our name means nothing. No one cares.
And in an elected official we want to know that what our mayor cares about is honesty and integrity. He needs to use those qualities to make good decisions for a community that needs strong leadership.
Getting elected is the easy part; staying elected is hard. If you are in that position for "ME," then you are in the wrong job.
The opening night of the new high school stadium, the mayor gave a speech. Was he invited that night or did he decide just to show up and speak? Well, no one kicked him out. I was there and so were many others who were on the field and I bet just like they were and I was, he was invited. He knows when he is invited.
We are a forgiving society. We forgive people for all sorts of things because we are
human and we understand. But when you hide, blame other people, whine, cover
up or get caught in something that doesn't make sense it ticks us off and we
don't like it.
Now that may seem like a little thing to you, but honesty is pretty high up in my view. I find it hard to believe that a school would not take its security precautions seriously and its safety issues seriously. I think they do and I think they did. They had a list. They told the mayor he was not on the list. He insisted on entering a private gathering anyway.
This behavior and the concern it caused prompted the superintendent to bring up the subject during an open board meeting regarding the new stadium and security issues.
My understanding is that a thank-you reception was held at the stadium for local businesses that helped with donations and support. And why not? Funding from our state is so tight for schools these days, our schools need help from those businesses, and we appreciate it.
The mayor knows he was not invited. The mayor knows he was not ushered upstairs against his will. The man used his position as mayor to maneuver his way into a private function, twice, and brought along a guest one of those times.
Whether Superintendent Ann Caine should have access to a box in the stadium or who was on the guest list are questions for another time. They are not issues to be used to divert attention from the mayor's unacceptable behavior.

Rule Making Process
General information about how a regulation becomes law.
Adoption of Emergency Regulation
Consideration of Losses and Loss Exposure in Residential Property Insurance Rating and Underwriting (pdf). (Title 10, California Code of Regulations, Chapter 5, Subchapter 3, Article 7.2, Section 2361.)
Broker Fee Regulations
The Department's new broker fee regulations can be found in Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations, Sections 2189.1 - 2189.8. The new regulations will help protect insurance consumers from virtually all of the most common unfair broker fee practices. In addition, the regulations provide written guidance to insurance brokers concerning broker fees for the first time since the Department issued Bulletin 80-6 in 1980.
Broker Fiduciary Duty Regulation
The Commissioner proposes to adopt a regulation regarding the fiduciary duties owed to a client by insurance salespeople who represent consumers ("brokers"). Specifically, the regulation requires brokers to disclose income they receive in handling a transaction for a client. The regulation also makes it an unfair act for a broker to fail to inform a client about a "best available insurer" or to steer a client away from that insurer. You can view the Public Notice, the Proposed Text of the Regulations, and the Initial Statement of Reasons for the regulations on the linked pages.
Privacy of Non-Public Personal Information
These regulations govern the treatment of nonpublic personal information about individuals who obtain or are claimants or beneficiaries of products or services primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. These regulations shall apply to all licensees of the California Department of Insurance subject to California Insurance Code Sections 791 et seq., namely insurance institutions, agents, and insurance support organizations. Licensees not subject to California Insurance Code Sections 791 et seq., but subject to Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLBA), 15 U.S.C. Sections 6801-6810, shall comply with GLBA privacy provisions and with Sections 2689.12 through 2689.20 of these regulations.

NIAGARA FALLS — Falls Police narcotics detectives say they've bagged a local gangbanger with a history of violence and drug dealing.
Detectives popped Antoine Bones as he was driving on Highland Avenue Friday night, not far from his Centre Avenue home. As investigators took Bones into custody, members of the Falls Police Emergency Response Team burst through the door of his home.
Inside, they recovered more than 11 ounces of powder and crack cocaine.
"This was a several month long investigation," Narcotics Division Capt. Dave LeGault said. "(Bones) has been around awhile and he's been a pretty big (cocaine) supplier in the city."
Bones, who is affiliated with the Bloods street gang, has been dealing coke on the Cataract City streets since at least 2007.
In 2010, Bones and another Bloods gang member, crossed paths with cops again and this time they had crack and a loaded handgun. Bones and Brandon Gutzmore were driving in the 1700 block of Pierce Avenue, in a car that had been linked to a shooting incident, when officers stopped them.
A search of the car turned up a loaded handgun and a large baggie containing smaller baggies of crack cocaine. Police said the handgun, which was identified as a .380 caliber FIE was "loaded ( with six rounds in its magazine) and cocked, with a round in the chamber."
When ERT officers hit Bones' home on Friday, they were concerned about what they might encounter.
"The house was pretty well fortified," LeGault said. "There were bars in the doors and windows, it was locked up pretty well."
Investigators said they found the powder and crack cocaine in several locations inside Bones' home. They also recovered a digital scale and packaging materials.
Bones, 27, 1140 Centre Ave., was charged with first-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.

What ordeal can I expect to endure if I report it?
I do not want to suffer anymore embarrassment of confronting this surgeon who was otherwise extremely nice... And what if I am wrongly accusing him? I know how men are - I will be made to look like I imagined it all and suffer further humiliation. Plus he did have a female chaperone in the room but he smartly positioned himself between me and her line of sight. So she would deny my story. - edit

Stay away! If you return, you are saying what he is doing is all right. We both know that's not right!!
All the best,
Also, I think there must be ways to report a physician without telling another physician. There are medical review boards and things. Fines, censures, etc., up to pulling a license...
Try here for starters:
That's the American Medical Association's website.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
My gut keeps telling me he was wrong. And I sit here thinking about how I willingly stood nude with this man, not once but twice.
I just thought about asking my surgeon because he could tell me if what happened was misconduct. But I suspect he might have a legal and ethical obligation to report the incident.
I don't know what the statute of limitations is for reporting such a thing. Maybe a little ways down the road, you will be up to tackling it? I would suggest documenting everything and dating your notes at least, in case you change your mind later. Maybe writing it all down while it's fresh in your mind? It's only a suggestion, though. I've never been faced with that sort of dilemma.
Oh, and listen to your gut! A professional medical doctor would not leave you wondering. I avoid female exams like the plague, but when I was having problems, and I sought out a doctor, it turned out to be a male doctor, and it was definitely all professional and clinical. I do tend to zone out in order not to freak out, but I don't go so far away that I wouldn't know if something inappropriate happened.
I just can't stress this enough: Listen to your gut.
Follow your gut. Simply wait to see your doctor. If you open your mouth to your doctor, you could cause a lot of problems. If you confront the new doctor, he will deny it to the moon and back. In my humble opinion, it's a loosing proposition either way. Some will say fight, but I've been there and it is just simply frustrating.
I have looked into this further since my post. My surgeon would have a legal and ethical responsibility to report it unless doing so would cause me further harm. Even if he did not report it, I have to wonder if it would negatively impact or influence my care with him -- I think it is reasonable to assume that he would be cautious about touching me/examining me for fear that he might make me uncomfortable at the very least, or worse that I might report him for misconduct... so this could affect him giving me the best possible care. Your thoughts?
I can file an anonymous complaint with the state licensing board. They would never tell the surgeon my name but he probably could figure out it was me from the details of the events.
And the surgeon in question, well he has several malpractice suits. I have not read anything about sexual misconduct except one woman who said she had proof that he liked to molest his female patients. I read a bunch of court documents and testimony from this same woman who slammed the surgeon for ruining her face. Based on what I have read so far, she may have been a patient predator or she may have been a truly hurt victim trying to get back -- she went through extremes to get back at this surgeon, creating lots of websites using his name, blasting him on social media etc. She did a lot of damage to his reputation and caused him a great loss of clients. Anyway, the point is that he sued her in court and won. I just would not want to go through anything like that, and I am nervous about what he might do to further protect his reputation from damage... even if he only suspected it was me.
I know far worse things have happened to women who have been accosted by men. I hate to seem dramatic over such an incident that is minor by comparison. It is just the last few days I have been very upset by this. It took me a while to be able to discuss my body and feel comfortable with my male surgeon -- I always use female doctors for my private parts. And finally when I felt safe in such matters, this thing happens with this other surgeon. I know that I am going to feel awkward when I see my real surgeon next month for the exam and photos... before this happened, I was really looking forward to reviewing my transformation. Now I just feel icky.
Sharing here has helped. I am going to wait to see how my surgeon handles the exam. Does he touch me like this other surgeon did? If so, then I know it is normal. I do not know whether or not I will discuss with him what happened. Like I said, I'd love to know but I do not want it to cause awkwardness in my relationship with him or interfere with him providing the best care he can for me. He is a very skilled surgeon with a great bedside manner and I trust him. I don't want anything to jeopardize that. I hope that makes sense. I guess you will understand if you have been in my shoes -- have seen too many doctors that are not highly competent. It is hard to find the cream of the crop, like the proverbial needle in the haystack. Since I want more surgeries, I want to continue with him as my provider.
But I won't do any follow-up care with anyone else in the future after this experience.
It sounds like a losing battle, though, with your situation to try to seek justice. You are smart for being cautious about all this. Good for you. I appreciate your coming here and sharing with us. Let us hear how it goes with the regular surgeon, if you don't mind.
Here where I live, there is a non-profit organization that is slowly educating the police force about how to handle victims of domestic violence and such things. Some policemen do listen and learn and others blow it off. It will be that way everywhere. We all know that a lot of cops become cops for the power rush, but there are good and decent cops and lawyers out there, too.
Take care.
BTW I discussed this with a few other women who have had plastic surgery and they think it is suspect. None have experienced what I went through with this doctor.
I have a friend who is a practicing physician. I may ask his perspective so as to have the doctor's point of view.
I was so looking forward to my appt with my real plastic surgeon next month to go over my results and look at my before and after photos. Now I just want to cancel that appointment.
I also am mad at my real plastic surgeon because I had asked him to refer me to a PS in my state for follow up. He told me he did not know anyone and I was left to find one myself. Of course who do I pick? Chester the Molester. You know dam well that if my real surgeon had simply made a phone call and ask a professional courtesy of another PS to care for me that this would never have happened.
God I let this guy do this to me twice. WTF does that say about me? Why did he pick me?
Hmm, honestly, I don't know about professional courtesy calls. When I moved out of state, I asked both my PCP and dentist if they knew of anyone where I was going, and neither of them did. If they had contacted someone, I suspect an office employee may have simply done what you did, find someone in the phone book or whatever. I'm just assuming here...I really am not sure how that would be handled. I know I was especially concerned about finding a good and decent and caring PCP, and my old PCP, as nice as he was, could not help me. (3 years later, I'm still looking for one!)
It's good that you are mad! You should be mad! I'm mad FOR you! BUT, be mad at the perpetrator, not yourself and most probably not your regular PS.
For the past 1-1/2 years that I have been dealing with stuff, my therapist (T) has to keep reminding me not to blame myself but to blame the perp. That's where your feelings should be aimed at.
You did NOTHING wrong. You didn't.
And this afternoon I spoke further with my physician friend. He stressed that the focus here is how the surgeon made me feel. He should not have made me feel this way. Period. And that is enough grounds for me to file a complaint. That is very helpful for me to re-frame it this way. My whole focus has been on did the surgeon sexually assault me?
My physician friend said he was concerned that I was taking the blame and placing it on myself and that I was defending the surgeon. We talked about some options for how I can take care of myself and how I can pursue this. He also said that he hears this sort of thing a lot from patients and it goes under reported.
He said it would be reasonable for me to ask my real surgeon's opinion and it would not interfere with my relationship with him if he is a professional.
I am feeling much better right now. I have been feeling like a victim, feeling vulnerable, the past few days - last night being the worst by far. I want to take my power back.
Thank you for being here to support me. I truly appreciate all of your emails.

Flickering of strobe lights and swirls of fog hamper vision as players crawl through tunnels and aim their lasers at opponents' LED-lit vests, hoping for direct hits and big points. Before each session, groups learn the game rules in a briefing room and gear up with the help of a zone commander in the vesting room. Outer Zone Laser Tag also welcomes birthday parties, inviting celebrants to shimmy on a dance floor after taking down enemies in the arena.

How to Enhance Your Resume Without Stretching the Truth
How to present your resume in a way that makes you stand out as an applicant--without having to lie.
Finding a job is rarely easy, but for the millions of people who are currently unemployed, it seems nearly impossible. Saving money is a luxury many can no longer afford because they can hardly keep up with day-to-day expenses.
Are you beginning to think your job hunting efforts are hopeless? Does submitting your resume online feel like sending it into a black hole? When your livelihood is on the line, it might be tempting to resort to questionable tactics to gain an edge over the competition. Maybe you're considering embellishing your resume to make yourself a more attractive candidate.
You should know that lying to get a job is just about guaranteed to backfire, big time. Whether it's your experience, education or abilities, stretching the truth is always a bad idea. It is possible, however, to make your resume stand out as an applicant and without having to lie--it's all about how you present the information.
1. Axe the objective and reference sections. The simple act of submitting your resume makes your objective very clear: You want the job. Resumes should be kept as concise as possible, and writing an objective wastes prime real estate on the page. If you do feel like stating an objective, save it for your cover letter.
The same is true when you end the page with "References available upon request." Yes, let's hope they are. It's much more helpful to bring along a separate page with references and contact information already listed, so that in the case your interview goes well, you can provide it on the spot. (Here are some other old-fashioned resume elements and outdated job-search advice to ignore.)
2. Place keywords strategically. Using meaningless business buzzwords to describe yourself does the opposite of make you stand out. Instead, your resume blends in with the hundreds of others characterizing "go-getters" with "can-do" attitudes and "outside-the-box" thinking.
In fact, Lifehacker lists these six phrases that should be banished from resumes completely:
• Responsible for
• Experienced
• Excellent written communication skills
• Team player
• Detail oriented
• Successful
Instead, research and identify words that describe what your potential employer is looking for in the position specifically. Read the job description thoroughly, and check the company website's "About Us" and "Mission" pages for language you can mirror in your resume. This is especially important because screening resumes is increasingly becoming an automated process, and poor word choice means your resume may never reach a real person's hands.
3. Be specific and show results. The fact that you were a manager means very little if it did nothing to propel the company forward. What's really attention-grabbing--and important to hiring managers--is measurable results directly related to your efforts.
If you increased sales by 10 percent or created a new process that cut a project's time in half, definitely replace dry or obvious job descriptions with those facts. And remember, numbers have much more impact than text. Your resume is the first impression you make on a hiring manager, so don't wait for an interview that may or may not happen to showcase your achievements.
4. Change the order. Traditionally, a resume features the applicant's name and address, followed by an opening headline or title, a summary of qualifications, job experience, and education or training finishing it off. However, following this format may not make the important information stand out.
If your work history is limited but you received extensive training in a specialized field, list your educational accomplishments before delving into past employment. If you possess a rare skill, list your abilities before the rest of the information. Also include only the work history that is relevant to the position you're currently applying for: Two years as an accountant? Great. Those three months you spent making ends meet at the burger joint? Not so much.
5. Keep It clean, neat, and error-free. It should go without saying, but triple-check your resume for errors before sending it out into the world. Preferably, have a second set of eyes look it over. I've personally received a number of professional resumes that looked as though they were created by fifth graders--which is a pretty alarming--but finding even one error means I stop reading and move on to the next applicant.
Most employers will react the same way to misspellings, poor grammar, and formatting mistakes. Again, your resume is your first impression; do you want it to say you don't care enough about the job to proofread it?
And the fancy stuff (colored paper, unusual fonts, or images) is not appropriate for a resume, period. It doesn't look like you put more effort into your resume, it looks like you're compensating for its lack of substance.
Job-hunting can be frustrating and disheartening. When the competition is as fierce as it is these days, you need to do everything you can to get a potential employer to notice you--don't allow a poorly optimized resume to prevent you from getting your foot in the door.

INDIAN LAND – South Carolina's new Lt. Gov. Yancy McGill visited Indian Land on Wednesday morning, July 16, where he met with local seniors to discuss issues affecting them and their senior center.
HEATH SPRINGS – When at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again!
That was the mantra of town of Heath Springs officials when the municipality applied for a rural infrastructure grant last year that was denied.
However now, the town recently learned it has been awarded a $405,500 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the S.C. Department of Commerce for its South Main Street water line upgrades, and Heath Springs Mayor Ann Taylor is elated.
Lancaster Super Speedway roars back into racing action Saturday night, July 12, with some real summer heat.
You could tell the racing season was heating up last Saturday, July 5, as tempers flared at the track all night long.
This week, the SECA Crate Late Models return with a $1,250 pot going to the main event winner and a $250 bonus to the highest finishing non-winner from the 2014 racing season.
Lancaster returned to Inman hoping to repeat what it accomplished on its first trip to Spartanburg County earlier this week.

The Lancaster County Columbus Parker Track Club has qualified 17 athletes to compete at the National Junior Olympic Games at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa, July 24 through August 3.
But coaches of the local track team say there's just one problem.
Well sir, my new motto of "being friendly" works, but doesn't always work out like I hope.
I was shopping on the "International Foods" aisle down at the neighborhood United Nations the other day. You know, that place that stocks stuff that comes from everywhere.
With a little time on my hands, I picked up a bag of tortilla chips, pondering if I should get 'em, mostly 'cause they were marked for only $2.
I noticed a lady standing nearby, so I grinned and waved to her.
Helping children to get excited about learning by setting positive goals is the aim of instructors at the "Putting Fun Back Into Learning Summer Camp" at the Preston Blackmon Family Success & Career Center.
I'd like to discuss some issues that are causing new businesses not to want to locate here. Lancaster is having trouble producing enough skilled workers to fill needs of prospective businesses and companies. I'm talking welders, HVAC technicians, machine operators, etc.
So, what are some answers that will address this problem?

FRANKFORT, KY. — A Kentucky National Guard soldier has gotten a taste of Hollywood as part of a promotion connected with the new Superman movie.
Pfc. Kierre Brown of Frankfort was among 22 Guardsmen from 18 states who spent a week in Hollywood to shoot a National Guard ad appearing with the movies marketing campaign. It was part of a partnership between Warner Brothers Entertainment and the National Guard to market the movie Man of Steel.
The minute-long ad depicts citizen-soldiers as ordinary people like Supermans alias, Clark Kent, who at any moment could become heroes in difficult times.
Brown is among the soldiers on a rooftop helping a family being hoisted by a helicopter.
The 21-year-old Brown said he had a chance to spend time with the entire cast and crew.

From Staff reports
MARYVILLE, Mo. — Northwest Missouri State's Monique Stevens entered Thursday night's MIAA contest against Northeastern State averaging 6.7 points per game.
She more than tripled that total against the RiverHawks.
The junior guard from Wodonga, Victoria, Australia, made 7 of 12 field goals — 6 of 9 from 3-point range — to rack up 20 points in the Bearcats' 67-64 win at Bearcat Arena.
"They shot the ball really well. The big surprise was (Monique) Stevens," NSU coach Randy Gipson said. " She had a great shooting night, and I did not see that coming."
The loss snapped NSU's five-game winning streak and dropped the RiverHawks to 13-6 and 8-3 in league play. Northwest Missouri State improve to 11-7 and 5-5.
As a team, the Bearcats knocked down 23 of 46 (50 percent) for the game and 12 of 24 (50 percent) from distance. Ashleigh Nelson added 12 and Maggie Marnin dropped in 10 for the home side.
Senior guard Taylor Lewis led Northeastern State with 18 points, sophomore guard Chelsey Stricklen scored 12 off the bench, and senior forward Sarah Green added 11.
The visitors were 24-for-53 (45 percent) from the field and 10-for-19 (53 percent) from downtown.
NSU took a quick 10-4 advantage and kept its lead at 20-19 with 5:56 to play in the opening half. The Bearcats used a 15-3 run to close out the half and earn a 34-23 halftime lead.
"They were changing their defenses, and I think that bothered us a little bit. We turned the ball over uncharacteristically high in the first half," Gipson said. " The second half we did a little better job. It just happens sometime where a team is kind of tentative, not as aggressive as you would like to see."
Northwest Missouri State pushed its lead to as many as 18 at 53-35 with 13:43 to play, but the visitors used a 13-0 run to get within five points.
NSU fought all the way back to within two at 59-57 with five minutes to play, but the team turned the ball over on its next possession and missed a layup at 2:51 that would have tied the game.
NWMSU drained a triple on the following possession and the team held on for the three-point triumph.
NWMSU 73, NSU (men) 72
The Bearcats (14-5, 7-3 MIAA) came back after trailing by as many as 20 points in the opening half. Conner Crooker converted a game-winning three-point play with just 4.4 seconds remaining after junior guard Bryton Hobbs missed a pair of free throws on the other end of the floor.
"Being able to win in this league is a fragile thing, and our guys took too many things for granted tonight," NSU coach Larry Gipson said. "Several of our guys started to think about themselves ahead of the team. We were never in sync all night. We built a big lead, but we did it carelessly and easily and we were getting ourselves in foul trouble as we were doing it."
The RiverHawks (14-5, 7-4 MIAA) built a 42-22 lead at the 5:42 mark of the opening half on the strength of a 73-percent shooting performance from the field.
Northwest Missouri State found its rhythm and used a 15-4 run to cut the deficit to 46-37 at intermission.
The home team kept dwindling down the NSU lead over the majority of the second half, and Crooker made a pair of free throws at 6:35 to give his team its first lead of the game of 59-57.
Northeastern State went on an 8-0 run to take a 65-59 lead with 3:52 remaining, but two more free throws from Crooker and a freebie from Bryston Williams cut the deficit back to one possession.
The two teams exchanged free throws, and sophomore forward Landon DeMasters made a mid-range jumper from the baseline at 1:27 to give NSU a 69-64 edge.
An old-fashioned three-point play from Williams and a trey from Alex Sullivan put the home side down just two at 72-70 with 19 seconds left. Hobbs got fouled with 10 seconds left, but he missed both free throws, and Crooker ran down to the other end of the floor and converted yet another old-fashioned three-point play with 4.4 seconds left.
NSU could not get off a clean look at the buzzer and saw its four-game win streak snapped.
Crooker led all scorers with 24 points off the bench. He was 7-for-11 from the field and 9-for-9 from the free-throw line. Grant Cozad added 19 and Williams scored 17 for the Bearcats.
DeMasters scored a season-high 19 points on 5-of-6 shooting. He was also 9-for-10 at the free-throw line. Senior forward Jermaine Bransford added 17 points for NSU.
Northeastern State shot 52 percent (24-for-46) from the field, 43 percent (6-for-14) from distance and 67 percent (18-for-27) at the line.
Northwest Missouri State shot 39 percent (21-for-54) from the field, 17 percent (2-for-12) beyond the arc and 91 percent (29-for-32) at the charity stripe.
The RiverHawks will end a three-game road stretch with a 3:30 p.m. matchup Feb. 2 against Missouri Western State.

In an interview with Viewpoint, Dr Pervez Hoodbhoy discusses the situation in Pakistan. Hoodbhoy received his undergraduate and PhD degrees from MIT and has been teaching nuclear and high-energy physics at Quaid-e-Azam University in Islamabad for 37 years. He also lectures at US universities and laboratories, and is a frequent commentator, on Pakistani TV channels as well as international media outlets, on various social and political issues. [via 3quarksdaily]
The murder of Governor Salman Taseer, who opposed Pakistan's blasphemy law, has shocked the world. But in Pakistan the killer has become a hero for a sizeable section of society. Why?
In a society dominated by traditional religious values, heroism often means committing some violent and self-destructive act for preserving honor. Although Governor Taseer was not accused of blasphemy, his crime was to seek presidential pardon for an illiterate peasant Christian woman accused of blasphemy by some Muslim neighbours. Taseer's intervention clearly crossed the current limits of toleration. With no party support, he went at it alone.
Malik Mumtaz Qadri – the official security guard who pumped 22 bullets into the man he was deputed to protect – is not the first such hero. The 19-year old illiterate who killed the author of the book "Rangeela Rasool" in the 1920's, and was then executed by the British, was held in the highest esteem by the founders of Pakistan, Muhammad Iqbal and Muhammad Ali Jinnah. It is reported that Iqbal, regarded as Islam's pre-eminent 20th century philosopher, placed the body in the grave with tears in his eyes and said: "This young man left us, the educated men, behind." Ghazi Ilm-e-Deen is venerated by a mausoleum over his grave in Lahore.
In his court testimony, Taseer's assassin proudly declared that he was executing Allah's will. Hundreds of lawyers – made famous by the Black Coat Revolution that restored Pakistan's Chief Justice – showered him with rose petals while he was in police custody. Two hundred lawyers signed a pledge vowing to defend him for free. Significantly, Qadri is a Barelvi Muslim belonging to the Dawat-e-Islami, and 500 clerics of this faith supported his action in a joint declaration. They said that those who sympathized with Taseer deserved similar punishment.
Significantly most of these mullahs are part of the Sunni Tehreek and are supposedly anti-Taliban moderates. Indeed, one of their leaders, Maulana Sarfaraz Naeemi, was blown up by a Taliban suicide bomber in June 2009 after he spoke out against suicide bombings. But now these "moderates" have joined hands with their attackers. Jointly they rule Pakistan's streets today, while a cowardly and morally bankrupt government cringes and caves in to their every demand.
Pakistani voters have always voted for secular-leaning parties but it appears that today the religious parties actually represent popular discourse. Do you concur?
Yes, I do. Those who claim that Pakistan's silent majority is fundamentally secular and tolerant may be clutching at straws. They argue that the religious parties don't get the popular vote and so cannot really be popular. But this is wishful thinking. The mullah parties are unsuccessful only because they are geared for street politics, not electoral politics. They also lack charismatic leadership and have bitter internal rivalries. However the victory of the MMA after 911 shows that they are capable of closing ranks. It is also perfectly possible that a natural leader will emerge and cause an electoral landslide in the not too distant future.
But even without winning elections, the mullah parties are immensely more powerful in determining how you and I live than election-winning parties like the PPP and ANP. For a long time the religious right has dictated what we can or cannot teach in our public and private schools. No government ever had the guts to dilute the hate materials being forced down young throats. They also dictate what you and I can wear, eat, or drink. Their unchallenged power has led to Pakistan's cultural desertification because they violently oppose music, dance, theatre, art, and intellectual inquiry.
To be sure there are scattered islands of normality in urban Pakistan. But these are shrinking. Yes, the Baluch nationalists are secular, and so is the ethnically-driven MQM in Karachi. But these constitute a tiny fraction of the population. More:

That certainly is the purpose of the Blogs page. Anyone and everyone can have one. You've got a ready-made audience here. Either give us some great ideas for topics/stories, or write them yourself! We'd be thrilled to add more writers!
You couldn't find 10 reasons to like Twin's Daily so you came up with this?
First, "views" does not equal "reads" does it? I have often wondered what percentage of "viewers" ended up being readers.
Also, I like your idea, though I am not sure about Meyer. I liked Albers when the Twins first signed him and he has really produced.
This was awesome. I am glad I found it after all this time.
Why couldn't you leave it alone, Brock?
Now you've bumped it up and now I'm reading it, certain that I'm finally about to get to the end of the Internet. But no....
Oh, Brock. Damn.
I've been a fan of using the DH position to let these guys get a rest and still keep their bats in the game. As a former catcher, I can certainly see how a day at DH would occur to Mauer as a day of rest.
The 'DH Penalty' above is certainly interesting.
Mauer @ .328 last year without the DH at bats? Interesting, indeed.
Damn it! Now I have to think.
I noticed the "penalty" on the top DH for each of the playoff teams as well. Michael Young was the one who noticed the least decline and his numbers weren't great (under .700 OPS as DH and when in the field).
I broke down the career numbers for Doumit, Mauer, Morneau, and Willingham by when they played as a position player, and when they DH-ed (throwing out Pinch Hitting appearances).
Batting Avg
DH Penalty
DH Penalty
DH Penalty
DH Penalty
There's a pretty significant DH penalty for all of them.
Might be Wililngham (or someone else) could 'grow' into a full-time DH role though.
edit: Just realized I didn't copy in the names. They are in alphabetical order
I don't mind the Twins rotating through the DH. If their best hitter wasn't a catcher who has been known to fatigue and/or get injured, I might feel differently about it.
I think #3 applies to me because it's March of 2013 and I just found this entry.
Don't disagree with your premise, but I think it depends on the team. The Twins used the DH spot as a way to keep players healthy (Morneau and Mauer) yet still keep them in the lineup. Last year, here were the top 4 in AB for the Twins at DH:
Doumit 200
Mauer 187
Morneau 140
Willingham 108
This is the strategy that most contending teams use. The Tigers were the only team in the AL playoffs that had a player have more that 300 AB's at DH (Delmonzie). They use the DH as a rotation for their older players to stay fresh.
I'd say Morneau and Mauer's numbers will decrease this year. Quite a bit of the time Mauer was at DH, Doumitt was catching so that isn't really changing the lineup. Those two will eat up the bad AB's given to Butera last year. I guess my point is that you should get what you want to some extent, it's just going to be Doumit and not Willingham this year.
Teams that employ a nearly full-time DH should have young position players that play nearly all of their games. This likely describes the Twins either in 2014 or 2015. Teams like the Yankees have to use it for Swisher/Ibanez/A-Rod.... You could very well get your wish in the near future.
I like it. Willingham is a good option too because he's not incapable of playing in the field like Thome and others, so you still have some flexibility (i.e. you wouldn't need two backup outfielders with Willingham on the roster).
I'd be curious if Willingham would be interested -- some players are averse to being a full-time DH, which may be a reason why he came to the Twins in the first place (a team that is historically averse to having a full-time DH). Hopefully Arcia and/or other improving youngsters make this a viable option later this season.
I don't have to look at stats to know that I cringe, whenever a ball is hit toward 3rd base. I don't have to belong to SABR to know that Florimon did not field like an elite shortstop. I do not have to be an elitest to fear for Aaron Hick's mental health after a month of facing major league pitching. I am old enough to remember Willie Mays in his rookie year. I know that players do not always produce as advertised...but sometimes they do. That is called hope.
Smerf, you could've much more clearly defined your stance on trade proposals with an outline of "The Duensing Rule"
If every trade proposal you suggest includes someone that no other team in their right mind wants for any significant price but your fan base unrealistically believes has real and significant value....you should probably stop and rethink. Unless you're throwing Duensing into your proposed idea for snark purposes, which is heartily endorsed as good fun.

I totally understood the gist of your post. I was just being silly, as if I was with you and laughing but then suddenly realized that it was directed toward me...
And let's be honest, you took a couple of shots that could easily be interpreted as being in reference to my SPEED argument. But let's also be honest.... Your post was funny. Intentionally, and unintentionally. Intentionally in respect to the punching yourself in the face bit, etc.... Unintentionally? Imagine the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons saying all of what you've said. And think of how seriously he would be taking himself as he says it. "Heh, schooled those newbs..."
It's a Baseball Blog and you are talking about etiquette which, if used properly, will spare posters from being "corrected". What is abundantly clear is that you really feel like you've reached a deeper understanding.
If you wanted to dig a bit deeper, though, you could reflect on what Socrates thought true wisdom entailed. Elitism was not part of his philosophy. Neither was focusing on what one knows. Realizing what one doesn't know was much more important. I tried to bring up the point that maybe we don't know everything about the effects of SPEED on the game, and if posters were being honest I think they'd admit that they created straw-man arguments out of what I said. Somebody (might have even been you smerf) even felt it was their job to inform me of how difficult it was to read my posts and actually questioned/accused me of forcing complex vocabulary. Quite an assumption, despite any evidence, background, video footage, or stats to support the contention that this isn't just the way that I think, speak, and write.
What's really funny to me is that you have a deep understanding of baseball now, but didn't even think quantifying SPEED was possible, and then didn't think the stats proved anything, and then admitted that they did but questioned whether or not they could be used to project future performance. And if they can, you'll have.... reached a deeper understanding, I suppose.
I really like this site, and I really like all the different posters. Even Fro....
I think that many of you take yourselves much more seriously than you need to, and that you take for granted that NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT WORKS. Before you didn't, BUT NOW YOU DO. And you'll realize, just like those who used to rely on batting average and RBI as the major quantifiable stats, that you didn't know as much as you thought you did. Conventional wisdom is refined and filtered and changed until it is quite different than it was previously.
As far as wanting your innocence back: Your avatar is a smoking smurf. I think your childlike nature is safely established. Just thought that should be noted.
I love Seth's positivity. Even just his tone of voice on his podcasts has always struck me as him being a dude who's so confident in his understanding of stats and the roster machinations that he's able to transcend the 'Baseball Nerd" attitude that so many other hardcore observers and writers are guilty of. It seems he still just enjoys the pure, simple aspects of the game. His excitement about each prospect he's hot on always makes me laugh a little bit at his optimism, while at the same time I can't help but get all pumped up and excited as well.
I really did get a kick out of the punching yourself in the face business. Nice work.
bluesky, a long running joke on the old message board quite a few frequent poster came from was that of elitism. There comes a point in following/watching baseball where you achieve a deeper understanding. Like Seth pointed out, if you wanted you can over-analyze every decision in this game. I love that part of the game and also wish I had my innocence back again.
I miss the days when I was just able to watch baseball and enjoy the game without needing all the stats and the over-analyzing of every roster move, lineup construction, in-game decisions, quotes, etc. It's a great game, and there are no absolutes. That's what people need to remember. Sometimes a manager can go against the book and it pays off tremendously. Other times, he can do exactly what the book tells him to do, and it doesn't pan out. That's the fun of the game. Over-analysis and overthinking and questioning every decision every day is what i can't handle well.
Hahahaha. Wait, what?
I really hope he can come back from this. I finally have some confidence in him after seeing him crash and burn at short last year.

Hi folks, is it ok to attach my SDA CRS+'s to an HK 730? And how about a Marantz 2245? I'm using the original interconnect on the speakers. Just trying to play it safe with this vintage gear. Thanks!
I'd say yes. A separate amp is always going to make em sing a lot better and some here swear by the tube amps, so just enjoy and upgrade as you go. The SDA effect is in a class all by itself and I sure love mine. I had the CRS+ set for a while and they are a great little speaker! BTW, welcome to the forum, It's a great one!
"if it's not fun, it's not worth it!!"
HK730: I don't know. It's twin powered, dual mono. This is really my main question. I was hoping someone might have experience with this particular pairing of amp and speakers.
Like separates, it all depends on the quality. There are integrated amps that are better than separates and vice versa. That said, integrated's or separates are better than receivers.As opposed to integrated?
Dual mono would indicate that it is non-common ground and therefore cannot be used with your SDA's unless you use the AI-1.HK730: I don't know. It's twin powered, dual mono.

I am using a Harman Kardon 730 'Twin Powered' with a pair of SDA CRS+'s in the bedroom set-up for the last month and a half and it sounds amazing. I guess I got lucky and didn't even think to check the common ground issue before hooking them up. 40 Watts have never sounded so good, at least not in my home. I'll admit I am in love with that contour button, HK's equivalent to a loudness button that tapers away as the volume is turned up. Contour keeps it sounding full and rich when the volume is down low. At some point I'll have to replace bulbs as most of them are burned out but for now she works and works well and that's enough for me. I'll post a picture soon.
