Despite its status as Canada's Smallest City, Greenwood is really a village. However, because of its location on Highway 3 and its historical attractions, this place offers some good eating.
The Copper Eagle Cappuccino and Bakery (325 South Copper/Highway 3) occupies a space in an historic block of buildings that has stood since 1899. It's a landmark for locals and regular travellers of Highway 3.
Coffee addicts who are also interested in art stop by Deadwood Junction at the west end of town (Highway 3) for a cup of brew and a look at the work of numerous local artisans in wood, silk screen, glass, oils and watercolours. A few antiques are also on display.

The Pacific Grill, located next to the Copper Eagle in the heritage Windsor Hotel (which made an appearance in the movie Snow Falling on Cedars, filmed in Greenwood in 1998), presents a welcoming atmosphere with historic photos to browse. The halibut and chips are fresh cut, the burgers are homemade and the turkey club boasts real roast turkey. Unexpected Thai and Vietnamese items feature on the menu that also offers all day breakfast.

The debate about Rupert Sheldrake's talk
Please use this space to comment on the debate around Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx talk, as described here:
Closing Statement from TED
Thanks to all who participated in this conversation on TED's decision to move Rupert Sheldrake's talk from YouTube to TED.com. It was scheduled as a 2-week conversation, and has now closed. But the archive will remain visible here.
We'd like to respond here to some of the questions raised in the course of the discussion.
Some asked whether this was "censorship." Now, it's pretty clear that it isn't censorship, since the talk itself is literally a click away on this very site, and easily findable on Google. But it raises an interesting question about curation. Should TED play *any* curatorial role in the content it allows its TEDx organizers to promote? We believe we should. And once you accept a role for curatorial limits, you have to accept there will be times when disputes arise.
A number of questions were raised about TED's science board: How it works and why the member list isn't public. Our science board has 5 members -- all working scientists or distinguished science journalists. When we encounter a scientific talk that raises questions, they advise us on their position. I and my team here at TED make the final decisions. We keep the names of the science board private. This is a common practice for science review boards in the academic world, which preserves the objectivity of the recommendations and also protects the participants from retribution or harassment.
Finally, let me say that TED is 100% committed to open enquiry, including challenges to orthodox thinking. But we're also firm believers in appropriate skepticism, or critical thinking. Those two instincts will sometimes conflict, as they did in this case. That's why we invited this debate. The process hasn't been perfect. But it has been undertaken in passionate pursuit of these core values.
The talk, and this conversation, will remain here, and all are invited to make their own reasoned judgement.
Thanks for listening.
Chris Anderson, TED Curator

Mar 22 2013: What I do in my book, The Science Delusion, which is called Science Set Free in the United States, is take the ten dogmas or assumptions of science and turn them into questions, seeing how well they stand up if you look at them scientifically. None of them stand up very well. What I'm going to do is first run through what these ten dogmas are, and then I'll only have time to discuss one or two of them in a bit more detail, but essentially the ten dogmas which are the default worldview of most educated people all over the world are -
First, that nature is mechanical or machine-like. The universe is like a machine, animals and plants are like machines, we're like machines. In fact, we are machines, we're "lumbering robots" in Richard Dawkins' vivid phrase, with brains that are genetically-programmed computers.
Second, matter is unconscious, the whole universe is made up of unconscious matter. There's no consciousness in stars, in galaxies, in planets, in animals, in plants, and there ought not be any in us either if this theory is true, so a lot of the philosophy of mind over the last hundred years has been trying to prove that we're not really conscious at all. So, matter's unconscious.
Then, the laws of nature are fixed. This is dogma three. The laws of nature are the same now as they were at the time of the Big Bang and they'll be the same forever. Not just the laws but the constants of nature are fixed, which is why they're called constants.
Dogma four: the total amount of matter and energy is always the same. It never changes in total quantity except at the moment of the Big Bang when it all sprang into existence from nowhere in a single instant.

Winter in South Africa
Fred Owens is responsible for this content, which is not edited by the Wilson County News or wilsoncountynews.com.

Post a comment
It's winter in South Africa. In Johannesburg, the BBC reports the current temperature at 45 degrees with a probable low of 37 degrees.
On a high plain at 5,500 feet elevation, Jo'burg gets a biting, freezing wind in June and July -- flu season. People bundle up in sweaters. Most houses don't have any heat.
People who work in offices sit at a cold desk all day because the office building has no heat.
Watch the coaches on the sidelines of the World Cup soccer matches-- they're wearing winter jackets.
And snow. It snows in the South Africa in the higher mountains.
Capetown. I was in Capetown in 1997. It was the opening of parliament, so all the politicians were in town. I interviewed a member of parliament in his office. His name was Jannie Momberg, an Afrikaaner who had supported the apartheid regime but switched to Mandela's party, the African National Congress.
Momberg said, describing his change of mind and heart, that he had been wrong all his life, and the power of Mandela's actions and words convinced him of that.
I suggested his change to the African National Congress may have been opportunistic -- after all Momberg had just joined the winning side.
This charge of opportunism made him angry. "I will make no attempt to convince you of my sincerity," he told me with an icy glare. "But many of my Afrikaaner friends no longer speak to me. They revile me as a turncoat, as someone who went against his own people. But the future is clear and I am with Mandela and a vote for every man and woman in the new South Africa."
Those were hopeful days, in 1997, when Mandela served as the head of his country, and the racial barriers came tumbling down.
I took a seat at the curb of the main street to wait for Mandela's motorcade -- to see the great man himself as he drove by on his way to Parliament.
I struck up a conversation with a middle-aged white man in a chauffeur's uniform. He said proudly, that he served the mayor of Capetown, and drove her to her appointments -- the new mayor was a colored woman, as she would be described in their culture, meaning a person of mixed African and European descent.
The chauffeur was effusive in her praises. "She is such a lady."
And we waited. Mandela was late. The street was lined with thousands of people who came to see the great man. Europeans come on time -- it's their invention. Africans are never on time -- they don't get it, or choose not to get it.
Mandela came by in a limousine with mirrored windows. He could see out, but we could not see in. He could see me -- maybe, if he was looking my way. So I didn't see Mandela, but he saw me.
Afterward, I took the train back to Kalk Bay, on the Indian Ocean side of Capetown. I was staying at an old hotel. Kalk Bay was a fishing village, boats in the harbor, seafood restaurants, shops and galleries with antiques.
Kalk Bay was a fishing village, a fish town -- Fishtown, get it? All you kids asking me about what it was like in Fishtown here in the Skagit.
Well Kalk Bay was Fishtown in Africa. We drank beer at a pub by the train station, watching the surf crash against the rocks just past our window. I listened to obnoxious Afrikaaners argue about rugby matches.
Everybody in Africa drinks too much. This year you can see it. Remember the opening ceremony for the World Cup? There was a news story about Nelson Mandela who could not come to the ceremony because his great-granddaughter had died in a traffic accident.
This was no surprise. South Africa has a rate of traffic accident fatalities that is close to five time higher than what we have in the United States. In South Africa, drinking and driving is a way of life. Truck drivers pull off the road -- not for coffee -- but for beer. Then they get back on the road and drive drunk, and crash into school buses loaded with children, and the school bus driver is often drunk as well.
So the children die by the dozen. The roads of South Africa are very dangerous.
At what point does one criticize the customs of another country? With traffic fatalities surely. South Africans drive like idiots, they should learn from us.
Then we should get rid of the vuvuzelas at the World Cup soccer matches -- those cheap plastic horns are driving every one crazy. You can even hear them on TV. All the beautiful music in the world comes from Africa -- so get rid of the vuvuzelas, please. They sound awful.
I spoke with my ex-wife two weeks ago. She is from Zimbabwe. She lives in Pennsylvania now. She told me about her many relatives living in Johannesburg -- people I knew when we lived in Zimbabwe in 1997. Her relatives fled the poverty and political violence in Zimbabwe, and went to the big city -- Jo'burg -- to find work.
Her relatives have found work , but several of them have died in non-political criminal violence. Jo'burg has an incredibly high crime rate. It is a dangerous city.
In Botswana. Botswana has the only decent, democratic government in all of Africa. The result is peace and relative prosperity. It's just like in the books about the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency.
The books have been made into an HBO special -- well worth watching, I checked the DVD out of the LaConner Library and watched Lady Detective Precious Ramotswe work her magic, which is really only common sense. Many real people in Botswana are very much like the fictional Precious Ramotswe. And yes, the ladies can be quite big, and beautiful too.
Our friend in Zimbabwe was Jerry Thebe. He was from Botswana, meaning he spoke Tswana -- their language. And went home to his village near Francistown.
The last we heard from him was by email from Gabarone, the capital of Botswana, where Jerry was learning about computers.
He was such a happy fellow -- I wonder where he is now.
Happy Birthday, Friday, June 25. This Friday, June 25, I will be 64. The coming year will have prosperity and good fortune. Join me in celebrating this important day.

How to Acquire Cataloging Tools
ALA Library Fact Sheet 18
Providing complete cataloging for a library collection requires simultaneous use of four, sometimes five, different standards and guides. This Fact Sheet will explain the tools needed, along with information on the sources for them.
Cataloging software information is included in ALA Fact Sheet 21 - Automating Libraries: A Selected Annotated Bibliography.
Also see the Cataloging and Classification page at the ALA Professional Tips Wiki, at:
Cataloging Rules - RDA, AACR2
Designed for the digital world and an expanding universe of metadata users, RDA: Resource Description and Access is the new, unified cataloging standard - an evolution of the cataloging principles from AACR2, the second edition of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (see more details below), with rules carried over or adapted to the RDA model.
The content of RDA has been developed in a collaborative process led by the Joint Steering Committee (JSC; http://www.rda-jsc.org). The project is overseen by the Committee of Principals representing the American Library Association (ALA), the Canadian Library Association (CLA), the UK's CILIP: Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, United States Library of Congress, Library and Archives Canada, British Library, and National Library of Australia. JSC was previously responsible for maintenance of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, which RDA has been developed to replace.
For a brief summary of RDA, see the online PDF brochure, RDA: Resource Description and Access: The Cataloguing Standard for the 21st century - which is available in several languages.
Benefits of RDA include:
- A structure based on the conceptual models of FRBR (functional requirements for bibliographic data) and FRAD (functional requirements for authority data) to help catalog users find the information they need more easily
- A flexible framework for content description of digital resources that also serves the needs of libraries organizing traditional resources
- A better fit with emerging database technologies, enabling institutions to introduce efficiencies in data capture and storage retrievals
RDA provides a set of guidelines and instructions on formulating data to support resource discovery. Also, RDA provides a comprehensive set of guidelines and instructions covering all types of content and media.
RDA was published in the RDA Toolkit - at http://www.rdatoolkit.org - in June 2010. The RDA Toolkit is published by ALA, CLA, and CILIP. The online RDA Toolkit subscription provides a one-stop resource for evaluating and implementing RDA, and is the most effective way to interact with the new standard.
What are the future plans for RDA? As stated in the response in the ALA Store FAQs:
In all cases, the Co-Publishers plan to offer some type of electronic distribution option, currently defined as a formatted PDF that can be downloaded, printed, and integrated into the loose-leaf version already purchased. The cost of this PDF will be determined based on the size and scope of the update, from free for a minor update to a fee for larger updates. The cost for electronic distribution would always be marginally lower than the cost of purchasing a physical package of printed and drilled pages from the Co-Publishers. In addition to the electronic option, if the size and scope of the update is large enough, the Co-Publishers will also offer the physical package of printed and drilled pages for purchase. We would offer these larger updates in a printed form for users who do not have access to the proper equipment to print and integrate the updates into the printed text (i.e., printing the PDFs two-sided and punching the pages). For these users, buying the physical package from the publisher can be less expensive and certainly more convenient.
For more information and further assistance in understanding RDA, see the Webinar and Presentation Archive at RDA Toolkit Teaching and Training. Also see RDA Print and Other RDA-Related Resources (print resources included here may be available in multiple formats including bundles of print/electronic formats), as well as the most current ALA RDA offerings, including scheduled online workshops from ALA TechSource, at the ALA Online Store.
For fast RDA customer service, including technical support, and pricing and subscriptions information, permissions, and translations, please complete a support ticket at the RDA Toolkit Support Center.
Contact email@example.com with any other questions.
The Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules are "designed for use in the construction of catalogues and other lists in general libraries of all sizes... The rules cover the description of, and the provision of access points for, all library materials commonly collected at the present time." [Rule 0.1]
The very last Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules text is the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition, 2002 Revision, 2005 Update, which incorporates all changes approved by the Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA (JSC) - formerly known as the Joint Steering Committee for Revision of AACR, Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules - through February 2005. Due to being in its second edition, the current text is known as AACR2. The rules are published jointly by the American Library Association, the Canadian Library Association, and the UK's CILIP: Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals.
For information on purchasing AACR2, visit the AACR2 website and choose your country from the menu on the left side of the page; each publisher has its own set of ISBNs, ordering information, and relevant currency pricing, at:
In the U.S., AACR2 products, including ring binder updates and other Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules publications, may be ordered from the ALA Online Store.
Classification is the process of assigning a number to an item so as to be able to shelve the item with other items on the same subject. In the United States there are two commonly used classification schemes: the Dewey Decimal Classification and the Library of Congress Classification. Both are used widely and actively updated.
The Library of Congress Classification (LCC) was initially designed at the beginning of the 20th century for the collection of the Library of Congress (LC). Since then, many other large American academic and research libraries have adopted it. The Cataloging Distribution Service (CDS) of the Library of Congress publishes and distributes all of the Library of Congress cataloging records and cataloging-related publications, tools, and resources. CDS provides the most current and authoritative bibliographic resources produced by the Library of Congress, including web-based cataloging tools, cataloging manuals, cataloging records, and MARC documentation. The LC Classification Schedules are available in both print and electronic form, at:
The Dewey Decimal Classification® (DDC®) system, devised by library pioneer Melvil Dewey in the 1870s and owned by OCLC (Online Computer Library Center, Inc.) since 1988 (through its purchase of Forest Press), provides a dynamic structure for the organization of library collections. Now in its 23rd edition, and available in print and in Web (as WebDewey) versions, the DDC is the world's most widely used library classification system, available directly from OCLC Dewey® Services, at:
Cutter Tables
Usually libraries using Dewey use a "Cutter table" to assign specific author numbers.
OCLC now freely provides the Dewey Cutter Program: The Dewey Cutter Program is a software program that automatically provides cutter numbers from the OCLC Four-Figure Cutter Tables (Cutter Four-Figure Table and Cutter-Sanborn Four-Figure Table) upon input of text. It works with most Windows versions, and enhances your classification efficiency. It does not work with Macintosh computers.
Reprint editions of the Cutter Author Tables publications - the C.A. Cutter's Two-Figure Author Table, the C.A. Cutter's Three-Figure Author Table, and the Cutter-Sanborn Three-Figure Author Table - can still be acquired through Hargrave House by calling (303) 904-3600 or sending a fax to (303) 904-3601. NOTE: Please be aware that the 1904 publication, Explanation of the Cutter-Sanborn Author Marks (Three Figure Tables), which is truly an explanation document of fewer than 20 pages and does not contain the tables themselves, can be freely acquired in several electronic formats via Archive.org.
Subject Headings
Adding subject headings to a catalog record allows the catalog user to retrieve all items on a given subject in a consistent manner. In the United States, there are two commonly used sets of subject headings, whose latest editions are:
- The Library of Congress Subject Headings, 34th edition (2012), available online as
part of Classification Web, at:
- The Sears List of Subject Headings®, 20th Edition (2010), published by The H.W. Wilson Company; there is a Sears List of Subject Headings online database by EBSCO Publishing, while the print publication version is currently provided by Salem Press, at:
Tagging for Machine-Readable Cataloging, MARC
Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) has been the standard in library automation for nearly 30 years.
It forms the backbone of today's automated library systems, networks, and bibliographical utilities around the world. The MARC format is the data communication protocol for "translating" the text of a catalog record for use in an online catalog. The MARC products developed at the Library of Congress set the standard for MARC cataloging documentation.
The Library of Congress, the British Library, and the National Library of Canada harmonized the USMARC, UKMARC, and CAN/MARC formats, and joined their MARC documentation to form MARC 21. All USMARC products have become MARC 21 products. Further details and information on MARC 21 can be accessed at the MARC Standards Frequently Asked Questions of the Network Development and MARC Standards Office of the Library of Congress, at:

no its bad
Somebody should make a chart of how embarassing a show's theme song is compared to how well it sold in the west. Call it "able to show it to my freinds" value.
Bleach's opening theme was pretty good, for instance. Elfien Lied was also pretty socially acceptable, considering it was basically about psychic (and often naked) teens murdering each other; But it had a nice theme song.
I think bleach used a becr song at one point?
Waste of a song on bleach 4 real do people actually like that show or just feel they have to
people who like bleach disgust me
Favorite opening themes of all time still belong to Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, and Ghost in The Shell for me. Especially Champloo, since that's what introduced me to Fat Jon and Nujabes.
I watched Champloo because of Nujabes
well stop soiling your undies and you will stop disgusting him

Welcome to Middle Tennessee State University's College of Liberal Arts!
More than 3,600 students major in fields housed in the ten academic departments of
the MTSU College of Liberal Arts. Our disciplines encompass the arts, the humanities,
and the social sciences. In addition, much of the university's General Education program
is located within our college, so virtually every MTSU student will take some classes
with us. Our academic offerings range from freshman survey courses to Ph.D.s. in English
and Public History. The college offers several dozen undergraduate majors, nearly
30 interdisciplinary minors, and ten graduate degrees. The heart of the college is
our faculty, and we have more than 300 full-time faculty members.
In addition to our academic departments, a variety of other units call Liberal Arts
home, including the Center for Historic Preservation, the Albert Gore Research Center,
the University Writing Center, the Governor's School for the Arts, the Mineral, Gem,
and Fossil Museum, and the Forensic Institute for Research and Education (FIRE).
Ours is a dynamic college, with new programs and approaches constantly being added.
Yet we remain committed to the ideals of a classical liberal arts education, which
introduces students to the broader world and, we hope, provides them a framework with
which to understand it. Moreover, the liberal arts focus on developing students' ability
to read, write, and think critically. In addition to the intrinsic value of acquiring
those skills, employers increasingly report that they look for broadly-trained and
quick-learning employees who can respond to the demands of our rapidly changing society.
Our college is not all about work, however. We offer a variety of extra-curricular activities open to all students. These include:
We pride ourselves on being a "student friendly"; college. The dean's office is in Todd 231, while the college advisors and graduation coordinator are in Todd 223. Please stop by if we can help you.
In the meantime, take a look at our departmental web pages for more information. We think you'll like what you see.
Dr. Mark Byrnes, Dean, College of Liberal Arts

Leighton Baines says Nigerian striker is feared by defences.
Victor Anichebe

Leighton Baines believes Victor Anichebe's presence in the Everton team strikes fear into opposition defenders.
Anichebe has been a key performer for the Blues this season, scoring seven goals and offering a series of muscular performances after shaking off a catalogue of injury problems.
Baines believes the 24-year-old forward is now beginning to successfully harness his physical prowess and technical qualities.
The England defender told evertontv: "We have known it for a while and believed in him for a while and he is starting to believe it himself.
"We are starting to see the rewards from that self-belief that he has gained.
"He has been an important player for us this season. He has come up with some important goals and beyond that he has given us something, with his strength, that we can play up to. Defenders are starting to fear him as well so he is a big asset to us."
Baines said all Everton's key players will need to be at their best if the Blues are to wrest three points from Norwich at the weekend.
Recent clashes have been close affairs but the left-back insists his side have to take maximum points wherever possible as the season reaches its final stages.
"They are a good side, Norwich," Baines continued. "They started the season well. We have found it tough against them and we had a tough game against them down there last season. They are strong at home.
"If we want to achieve something draws aren't going to cut it. We have to find ways to get games won. Sometimes it may not be pretty, but it is about getting games won."

What a victory!
Joe Flacco, 9-5 and Superbowl not ELITE ENOUGH FOR YOU?
This year..
John Harbaugh > Jim Harbuagh
Joe Flacco Superbowl MVP > Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Colin Kaepernick!
Dedicated to all my folks in San Francisco for the morning after they came down to REALITY (what did they think a young and inexperienced team with a young and inexperienced QB would actually win the big dance? Were they SERIOUS?!) ..
Ravens football is about LOVE and true RESPECT. We won against three of the best teams in football because we loved the game, we loved our fans, and we had love and respect for our opponents. The haters gossip and mash their teeth but for what? What does all the hate get you? NOTHING. What does love get you? A SUPERBOWL WIN! So lets see, Broncos were 8.5 favorites, New England were 8.5 favorites, even Niners were 3.5 favorites.. what happened there? A lot of silly people lost a lot of money
Don't doubt the Ravens, we LOVE this game enough even to respect our own losses. We TRUST in GOD enough to be thankful for just the opportunities to play. WE are the team folks should bandwagon on, not a bunch of over-hyped hater teams. I am sorry to Denver, I saw y'all fans crying on the TV and YouTube, that was us Ravens and myself last year. We've been there, that is why we respect you. My hats to New England, you had a phenomenal season. The unfortunate reality is so did Ravens. To the Niners? Y'all are just a young football time, which scares me. We will see plenty of y'all in the future. Then again, not if Alex Smith EXPLODES in Arizona
Hey Moss?Jerry Rice called laughing hysterically that you thought you were better than him, even Tony Gonzales is snickering on that one. Hey Culliver? How are you going to be such a bonehead as to openly and unrepentantly DISS part of your OWN FAN BASE? That was embarrassing, they jinx themselves all media week with silly trash talking. Maturity goes a long way. Ravens used to be the same kind of immature team until John Harbaugh came around, hopefully Jim can bring similar discipline to their lockerroom.
Ed Reed. YOU GOT ANOTHER PICK IN YOUR HOMETOWN AT THE SUPERBOWL! CONGRATZ to one of the ALL-TIME greatest safeties. Ray Lewis you finished on top like Elway, such a rare fate which can only come from the Grace of God. Folks just hate because they don't know you, they don't relate to your struggle, but I can, and folks like us know whats up to be like Joseph in Egypt. GOD prevails, destiny and blessings are revealed. What will the NFL do with out our own Jesse Jackson?

Re: What a victory!
Plus Steelers fans are being poor sports and obnoxious about it, like how long it took Flacco with a SB win. How long did it take Elway? Oh right, he had to LOSE a few Superbowls. Flacco has won a play-off game in EVERY one of his starting seasons since a rookie. He has more road wins than any other QB in post-season history, he just beat two of the best QBs IN HISTORY, ON THE ROAD, AND DIDN'T THROW A SINGLE INTERCEPTION TYING WITH JOE MONTANA FOR 12-0 in the post-season. GROW UP.Facts don't lie, Flacco is elite by every single measure, period, and you and all the other haters just look silly right now, a bunch of sour grapes.
Hey I dig it, Steelers-Ravens is a sick rivalry, and I wouldn't DARE root for Big Ben in another Superbowl, HOWEVER, I know what kind of calliber player he is, I know what calliber team Steelers are, and so we RESPECT THEM. All I ask is you respect what Ravens have accomplished, because the rivalry has just effectively been equalized. Since Ravens came to Baltimore we got TWO Superbowls to match the TWO that Steelers got in that same time period. We're also 14-7 in the post-season and y'all are 14-8 since 1996 ;)

Re: What a victory!
As far as being one of "the haters" I posted this earlier today here
A lot of life is out of your control (what if Archie Manning had played for the Steelers and Bradshaw had played for the Saints in the 1970s - who would be in Canton then?) - if the Denver DB does not have a brain freeze at the end of regulation the question asked about Flacco would not be whether he is elite but whether the Ravens need another QB to win it all
But instead Flacco had one of the best QB post-seasons in NFL history
Questions I Never, Ever Thought I Would Have to Ask for $200, Alex
Did Joe Flacco just have the best playoffs of any quarterback we've ever seen?
Not joking. This is a conversation that absolutely needs to be had. The Flacchise has numbers that place him into that discussion, and if anything, the numbers might underrate how good he's been during these playoffs.
Let's start with the numbers, though, because they're staggering. Flacco finished the postseason having gone 73-of-126 (57.9 percent) for 1,140 passing yards with 11 touchdowns and zero interceptions. Eleven to zero. Only one other player since the merger has produced a touchdown-to-interception ratio equal to or better than that in the playoffs, and it's a guy who has a pretty sterling postseason reputation: Joe Montana.
Montana's 1989 season pretty clearly stands out to me as the greatest postseason run since 1970, but I've gone ahead and listed some other notable Super Bowlwinning postseasons that might put Flacco's big January into context:...
The article has a chart tat i could not cut and paste
Whatever adjectives you want to attach to Flacco are a matter of personal preference. I just know that there are a lot of "elite" quarterbacks who will never have a playoff run as good as the one Joe Flacco just delivered and that labels often find themselves obstructed, for better or worse, by the Super Bowl ring on a quarterback's finger.

The way they played throughout the playoffs, they deserved to win it. They caught a break in that Denver game, but show me a team who hasn't on the way to a ring. Your unnecessary capitalization is silly, no one is disagreeing with you, lol.

Re: What a victory!
Peyton Manning, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, GOD was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a pair of faded Colt's and Bronco's flags in the window.
"This house is yours for eternity, Peyton." said GOD. "This is
very special; not everyone gets a house up here." Peyton felt special,
indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up to the porch he noticed
another house just around the corner. It was a 3 story mansion with a Purple and Black sidewalk, a 50 foot tall flagpole with an enormous Raven logo flag, and in every window, a Raven towel. Peyton looked at GOD and said, "GOD, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all pro QB, I hold many NFL records, and I even won a Super Bowl." GOD said, "So whats your point Peyton?" "Well, why does Ray Lewis get a better house than me?" GOD chuckled and said, "Peyton, that's not Ray Lewis's house, it's mine!

Credit Derivatives and Commercial Banks' Risk Management
This paper illustrates the value of credit derivatives with two examples. A commercial bank can use credit derivatives to manage the risk of its loan portfolio. However, credit derivatives pose risk management challenges of their own. This paper discusses five of these challenges. Credit derivatives can transform credit risk in intricate ways that may not be easy to understand. They can create counterparty credit risk that itself must be managed. Complex credit derivatives rely on complex models, leading to model risk. The settlement of a credit derivative contract following a default can have its own complications, creating settlement risk. For the credit derivatives market to continue its rapid growth, commercial banks must meet these risk management challenges. Keywords: Credit Derivative; risk management

It happened shortly after 5 p.m. Sunday near Azalea Drive in Roswell.The family tells FOX 5 that they were on the river in the canoe when debris hit it and caused it to flip. They couldn't get back into it, but couldn't get to the bank of the river either.The Roswell rescue team put their boat in the water and came to the family's rescue. Recent heavy rain has meant an extra hazard on the river.The Jaykumar's were check out and warmed up in an ambulance after being in the cool water for about 20 minutes.

MONTREAL (AP) -- Max Pacioretty broke out of a slump with a natural hat trick in the second period and the Montreal Canadiens skated to a 6-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night.
Michael Bournival, Daniel Briere and Alex Galchenyuk also scored for the Canadiens, who had only 18 goals in their previous 11 games.
Nino Niederreiter and Dany Heatley scored for the Wild, who had won four straight and were 7-0-1 in their past eight games since a 5-1 loss to Chicago on Oct. 28. Minnesota plays Wednesday night in Ottawa.
Wild starter Josh Harding, one of the NHL's three stars for his three wins last week, was pulled in the second period for Darcy Kuemper after allowing three goals on 19 shots. Harding has given up three goals only twice this season, both times to Montreal.

The number of adults who lack skills beyond a high school diploma is a significant national concern. In Kansas alone, there are over 900,000 working-age adults with no meaningful postsecondary credential. The trend will only continue, and by 2020 it is projected that 60 percent of Kansas jobs will require workers with some form of postsecondary credentials. This magnifies the current difficulty employers across the state report in finding qualified workers who can fill skilled positions. Kansas community and technical colleges play a vital role in promoting economic prosperity for individuals and the state by delivering high-demand technical training.
The Kansas Board of Regents, in partnership with the Kansas Department of Commerce, is now implementing the Accelerating Opportunity initiative in Kansas (AO-K), transforming the delivery system for adult education in Kansas by using Career Pathways to deliver career and technical education simultaneously with adult basic skills instruction. Students complete short term certificate programs aligned with labor market needs, leading to industry endorsed credentials and immediate jobs. Kansas is part of a national initiative managed by Jobs for the Future and funded by six philanthropies – Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Joyce Foundation, Kellogg Foundation, Kresge Foundation, Open Society Foundations and the University of Phoenix Foundation. Kansas received $1.8 million for both design and implementation phases. In addition to Kansas, Accelerating Opportunity is also implemented in seven other states: Illinois, Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas.
Accelerating Opportunity: Kansas (AO-K) - English (pdf)
Community and technical colleges across Kansas are implementing Accelerating Opportunity:
Accelerating Opportunity changes the way adult basic education is delivered by putting adult students on track to earn a postsecondary credential so they can seize the opportunity to earn family sustaining wages and break the intergenerational cycle of poverty. Since January 2012, Kansas community and technical colleges have enrolled over 1400 students in over 27 career pathway programs. To date, these students have earned nearly 2300 industry recognized credentials in areas such as healthcare, welding, manufacturing and aero-structures. Over 790 students have completed a 12-credit hour pathway and 613 are employed. In July 2013, the Kansas Department for Children and Families partnered with the Kansas Board of Regents to begin offering a tuition scholarship program to support Kansans enrolled in AO-K career pathway programs who qualify to receive TANF (Temporary Aid for Needy Families) benefits.

A Seahawks fan is suing Jets defensive end Shaun Ellis for a 2008 snowball incident.
It happened after the Hawks beat the Jets at Quest Field, eliminating them from the playoffs.
According to The New York Post, the suit alleges that Ellis was upset about the loss when he picked up a large chunk of snow and threw it into the crowd.
The fan, Robert Larson, claims he suffered physical and emotional pain when the snowball struck him.
Ellis was fined $10,000 by the NFL for the incident which has since showed up on YouTube.
The video also shows Hawks fans throwing snow balls and taunting Jets players as they left the field into the tunnel.
Larson does not specify in the lawsuit how much money he is seeking in damages.

Austen with Music
A musical based on Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility?
Makes perfectly sensible sense
By Sylvie Drake
There is an undeniable fascination with the works of Jane Austen that has propelled itself into some strong film and television adaptations of many of her novels. These range from Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice (many versions) to Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, Emma and Sense and Sensibility, her first published novel.
Remarkable? Not entirely. There are good reasons. These 19th-century novels resonate in any age because they were the elegantly written soap operas of their day—and we're all in love with love—at any age and in any age.
Now comes a first: a musical version of Sense and Sensibility. While several stage adaptations of Austen's works have been attempted, "It's the first time that a musical of Sense and Sensibility has been done on this scale," said Marcia Milgrom Dodge, the director of Sense & Sensibility The Musical, adding, "I do try to keep up with everything Jane Austen."

Bipolar disorder is a mental condition that causes a person to fluctuate between mania and depression. It is characterized by unusual shifts in mood and energy levels. Bipolar disorder is also sometimes called "manic-depressive illness."
Symptoms of bipolar disorder can gravely diminish a person's quality of life. These symptoms are different from the normal highs and lows that everyone experiences at times. Bipolar disorder can damage relationships, hinder performance at work or school, cause dangerous or risky behavior, and even lead to suicidal thinking.
But bipolar disorder can be treated and managed. People with this condition can lead full lives, usually with the aid of medication and ongoing therapy.
Types of Bipolar Disorder
There are multiple types of bipolar disorder:
Bipolar I Disorder
The main symptom of bipolar I disorder is one or more manic episodes or mixed episodes that are not explained by another medical condition, and that are not the result of medications or other substances.
Bipolar II Disorder
main symptom of bipolar II disorder is the occurrence of one or more major
depressive episodes accompanied by at least one hypomanic episode. Symptoms
cause significant distress or impairment in work, at school, or in other personal
Frequently, people with bipolar II disorder do not recall their manic episodes.
Cyclothymic Disorder
Cyclothymic disorder causes mood swings that are less severe than those of bipolar I or bipolar II. Symptoms include rapid changes in mood. It is more common in people who have their first episode at a younger age.
Bipolar Disorder Not Otherwise Specified
Someone may be diagnosed with this classification of bipolar disorder if he or she has too few symptoms or has symptoms that do not last long enough to meet the diagnostic criteria for other bipolar disorders.
Rapid-Cycling Bipolar Disorder
This is the diagnosis given when a person has had rapid changes in mood—with four or more episodes of major depression, mania, hypomania, or mixed symptoms within a year.
What Causes Bipolar Disorder?
The exact cause of bipolar disorder is not known. But research has revealed some potential factors:
Bipolar disorder seems to run in some families, but having a relative with bipolar disorder does not mean that you will have the condition. Researchers have located some genes that are linked to bipolar disorder.
Biological Abnormalities
Brain imaging and other types of studies are helping uncover differences in the brains of people with bipolar disorder. The significance of these differences is still uncertain. But some notable discoveries have been made. For example, some people with bipolar disorder have blood-flow and structural differences in parts of the brain that regulate mood and impulse control.
Faulty Neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitters are naturally occurring chemicals in the brain and nervous system. They facilitate the communication between cells. In examining people with bipolar disorder, researchers have found hindered production and function of neurotransmitters that play important roles in mood regulation.
Who Is at Risk for Bipolar Disorder?
- Children with a parent or sibling who have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder (compared with those with no family history of it) are four to six times more likely to develop the illness (NIMH).
- One study found that 20 percent of adolescents suffering from major depression developed bipolar disorder within five years of the onset of depression (NIMH).
- The World Health Organization lists bipolar disorder as the sixth leading cause of disability in the world.
- The median age of onset for bipolar disorder is 25 years, although the illness can appear as early as childhood or as late as 50 (NIMH).
- Almost half of all sufferers experienced onset before age 25 (Kessler, et al.).
- Individuals who are widowed, separated, or divorced have a greater likelihood of developing bipolar I disorder than people who are married or living with a partner (Kessler, et al.). (This may reflect the negative impact that early onset bipolar disorder can have upon the capacity to maintain intimate relationships.)
What Are the Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder?
The symptoms of bipolar disorder depend on whether a person is in a manic phase or a depressed phase. These phases may last from days to months. In rare cases, manic and depressed symptoms occur at the same time or in fast succession. This is called a mixed episode.
Mania Symptoms
A manic phase is marked by elevated mood and poor impulse control. A person in a manic episode might exhibit:
- increased energy
- unusual talkativeness
- hyperactivity
- racing thoughts
- irritability
- little need for sleep
- inflated self-esteem
One of the most dangerous symptoms of mania is the practice of reckless behavior, including:
- unprotected sexual encounters
- binge drinking or drug use
- reckless spending
Depression Symptoms
A depression episode is marked by debilitating feelings of sadness. A person in a depression episode might exhibit:
- sadness
- uncontrollable crying
- feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness
- excessive guilt
- fatigue
- anxiety
- sleep disturbances (either oversleeping or inability to sleep)
- eating disturbances (either eating too much or too little)
- withdrawal from friends and family
In bipolar disorder, suicide is a significant risk, occurring in 10 to 15 percent of people (Center for Quality Assessment and Improvement in Mental Health). Suicidal thoughts and attempts are more likely to happen when the individual is in a depressed state. Other forms of self-harm, such as self-mutilation, are also common in people with bipolar disorder.
Seek emergency medical care if you or a loved one is experiencing suicidal thoughts.
How Is Bipolar Disorder Diagnosed?
To diagnose bipolar disorder, a mental health specialist will conduct an in-depth psychological evaluation and ask about thoughts, feelings, and mood changes. He or she may ask the patient to create a mood chart—a daily record of the person's mood, sleep patterns, and other factors that can help with diagnosis. This will help the specialist determine whether the patient meets the criteria for a form of bipolar disorder.
A doctor may also conduct a physical examination to rule out any conditions that could be causing symptoms similar to those of bipolar disorder.
How Is Bipolar Disorder Treated?
Bipolar disorder requires lifelong treatment, even when the affected person feels fine. A psychiatrist or other mental health professional skilled in treating bipolar disorder usually leads treatment.
A treatment plan may include a combination of medication, therapy, and other treatments that may be necessary, such as rehabilitation from substance abuse. Hospitalization may be necessary if a person is behaving dangerously, feeling suicidal, or becoming detached from reality.
Psychiatrists typically recommend medication as a first step, to balance moods and control symptoms as quickly as possible. Once symptoms are managed, maintenance treatment is needed to manage bipolar disorder in the long term. Maintenance treatment is very important. Without it, risk of relapse is higher, and there's a greater chance that minor mood swings can turn into full-blown mania or depression.
Some people with bipolar disorder benefit greatly from psychiatric treatment at a hospital. In a hospital setting, a patient can get help stabilizing his or her mood in a safe environment. Other options to consider are partial hospitalization or day treatment programs, which provide support and or counseling until symptoms are under control.
Medications for Bipolar Disorder
A number of drugs are used to treat bipolar disorder, including mood stabilizers, antidepressants, and drugs that relieve anxiety. Depending on the type of bipolar disorder and the person's individual symptoms, medical history, and overall health, he or she may be prescribed any one or a combination of these drugs. Some of the most commonly prescribed medications for bipolar disorder include:
- Lithium
- Anticonvulsants
- Antipsychotics, such as: olanzapine (Zyprexa), risperidone (Risperdal), quetiapine (Seroquel)
- Antidepressants
- Benzodiazepines

I feel like noone has to go through what I do when it comes to relationships.
The worst thing is when your bestfriend isn't happy for you about something. Then you can't be excited for it yourself.
It's easy to stay strong when that's the only option you've ever had.

Prateek Dayal said
Hi Basanta
I felt you have a great voice and also your pronunciation is quite good … however I felt that you have not exactly followed the tune of the music …. was this intentional ?
I feel the fun of the song is in the casual flow of it …
You strum pretty neatly …. keep uploading more :)

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (August 21, 2013) – The Rutgers University women's volleyball team was selected ninth in the 2013 American Athletic Conference Preseason Coaches' Poll, the league office announced Wednesday. RU received 21 points, just five behind eighth-place Houston. The votes were cast by the league's 10 head coaches, who were not permitted to vote for their own teams.
Last year, the Scarlet Knights recorded one of its best seasons in recent history. Head Coach C.J. Werneke led his squad to an overall record of 18-12 (4-11 BIG EAST), marking the most wins for the program since the 2000 campaign. Additionally, Rutgers managed its first winning season since the 2004 team went 16-10 and notched its fourth straight campaign with double-digit victories.
Despite graduating two starters, the squad returns a solid core that played a critical role in the resurgence of the program last year, including senior defensive specialist, Tracy Wright (Fair Lawn, N.J.), and sophomore outside Alex Lassa (Eagle, Colo.).
Wright came up with a team-high 356 digs (seventh on RU's single-season list), despite an injury-shorted season, to help lead the squad in establishing itself as the third ranked defensive squad in the BIG EAST (16.7 digs/game).
Lassa looks to build on a solid freshman year, in which she led the team with 3.43 kills per set (sixth in the league). Lassa was recognized for her efforts by earning a spot on the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll (Aug. 27) and being named to the Hurricane Invitational All-Tournament team. She finished the season with 11 double-doubles.
RU opens the 2013 season on the road in Bloomington, Ind. on Friday, August 30th at the Indiana Invitational. There, the Scarlet Knights will meet future Big Ten opponent, Indiana, while also facing Kent State and Robert Morris. Rutgers hosts its first home contest of the year on September 11th against in-state rival, Seton Hall, at 7 p.m. in the College Ave. Gym.
The University of Louisville was selected as the favorite for the inaugural season of the American in 2013, receiving 79 points and seven first place votes. Last year, the Cardinals captured their second consecutive BIG EAST title. The University of Central Florida (69), Connecticut (59), Cincinnati (53) and South Florida (49) round out the top-five.
The American Athletic Conference, based in Providence, R.I., rebranded on July 1, 2013. In its inaugural year, The American is fortunate to be able to draw from the previous successes and traditions already established in its 10 inaugural women's volleyball programs. The volleyball season will start on August 30, with team's facing nonconference opponents. There is no championship tournament for women's volleyball in the inaugural season of the conference. The regular season champion will be rewarded with an automatic berth into the NCAA Championship.
The American Athletic Conference comprises the following 10 member institutions: the University of Central Florida; University of Cincinnati, University of Connecticut, University of Houston, University of Louisville, University of Memphis, Rutgers University, Southern Methodist University, University of South Florida, and Temple University.

Our state's population has doubled in the last thirty years, and we're projected to add another 2.5 million people by 2050. We all love our high quality of life, our beautiful natural surroundings, and our strong economy. To protect those things that we value about living here, we need to establish a vision together for our Utah.
How we grow matters. Will we have clean air to breathe? Enough water for our needs? Transportation choices that promote a high quality of life? An affordable cost of living, with good housing options for everyone? Open space, including natural lands, agriculture, and recreational options? Quality jobs for all of us? An educated population? Affordable energy supplies that don't damage our air and environment? The answers to all of these questions depend on the choices we make. Explore the "Your Utah. Your Future." issues.
Clean air is important for our health, to enjoy our beautiful outdoors, and for our ability to attract jobs to Utah. For most of the year, Utah's air quality is among the best in the nation, but for a few weeks in the summer and the winter our weather patterns lead to poor air conditions.
Wasatch Choice for 2040 considers how growth, transportation, and open space can be shaped for the next few decades to have outstanding positive impacts on the life of residents in the Greater Wasatch Area.
Utah is one of the driest states in the nation. Our water is precious, and developing new supplies will cost billions of dollars. How can we best deal with water quality and supply issues for the next generation?
Citizens of Madison County Idaho face unique challenges as a rural community with a large and growing university that is Brigham Young University-Idaho. How can they work together to accommodate student needs and create a vibrant central city that everyone can enjoy?
