(Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images)Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, who has been out for the past two games with a strained hamstring that he suffered against the New York Giants on Oct. 6, will reportedly start on Sunday when the two teams go head-to-head for a second time this season.According to a report Tuesday from Jeff McClane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Vick will start even if he's not 100 percent healthy. Two weeks ago, he called the strain a "bad pull" and said he was "60, 65 percent" ready to return.The team practices on Tuesday as they begin to prepare for Sunday's matchup at home, and according to Les Bowen of the Daily News, Vick will make the announcement later on Tuesday after practice.SI Wire: Report: Josh Gordon trade talks explored between Browns and 3 different teamsNews of Vick's likely return comes just days after Eagles quarterback Nick Foles suffered a concussion in Sunday's 17-3 loss at home vs. the Dallas Cowboys.Before going down with his hamstring injury, Vick was 1-3 as a starter, playing half a game in the Eagles' 31-20 win over the Giants in their previous matchup this season. On the season, he has thrown for 1,185 yards, completing 53.8 percent of his passes and tossing five touchdowns and two interceptions. Over the course of four games, he also recorded 307 running yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries.If for whatever reason Vick does not make his return on Sunday, and Foles remains out with a concussion, rookie Matt Barkley will step in against the Giants. The former USC quarterback threw three interceptions while filling in for Foles on Sunday.

Hidden love still exists. Collaborators Hayley Heaton and Jen Sorensen seek "Proof" in this collection of heartbroken haiku. Read more
Hidden love still exists. Collaborators Hayley Heaton and Jen Sorensen seek "Proof" in this collection of heartbroken haiku.
About this project
About the poems
Proof is a series of heartbroken haiku that explores a mysterious liason between ill-fated lovers. It's divided into three short sections: the seduction, the climax, and the inevitable end. These sections are meant to take the reader on a journey from the frenzied excitement of lust and love to the comfortless heartache of lonesomeness. Each poem works as a clue for the speaker, as well as the reader, to cement and justify the sadness the speaker feels as she is left with the tangibility of things rather than the presence of what she really aches for: her lover.
The textual structure of the book is meant to reinforce the haiku form. It starts with five poems in the first section, continues with seven poems in the second section, and ends with five poems in the last section. Each section in itself is written to work the way a haiku does. The first seduces the the reader into wanting to go farther. The second section gives into the readers' lusts and excites them into reading the third section, which turns the meaning into something all together more poetic.
About the book
The visual landscape of Proof uses found, antique photographs, as well as photographs that Jen has taken while traveling throughout the western US. These photographs are meant to recreate the feeling of immense flatness and a vast landscape that induces loneliness. There are also representations of classic and mythic Americana and of those who populate it to reinforce the theme of the haiku.
The physical structure of the book mimics the 5/7/5 structure of the poems themselves and allows the reader room to breath and explore within the staccato syllables.
A proof is a page from the book that will feature one of the haiku. It will be signed by both Jen and Hayley. It's a great thing to have and makes a wonderful piece of art for your wall.
A copy of Proof is the entire book! And yes, it will be a signed number edition for your collection. May we add that you have very good taste.

(26-46, 17-19 home)
8:00 PM ET, March 30, 2013
Target Center, Minneapolis, MN
The Memphis Grizzlies are within striking distance of another top-four finish in the Western Conference but could use some wins away from home if they want to make a serious push.
The Grizzlies will try to end a season-high five-game road losing streak Saturday night by continuing their dominance over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Memphis (48-24) is only a half-game behind the fourth-place Los Angeles Clippers in the West and one game back of third-place Denver, but the Grizzlies haven't helped themselves with their recent road woes.
Their five-game skid away from home is their longest since they dropped six straight Nov. 15-Dec. 6, 2010, but they might have a prime opportunity to end that losing streak Saturday. Memphis has won 10 in a row over Minnesota (26-45) and four straight at the Target Center.
With the playoffs right around the corner, the Grizzlies could use some road momentum as they'll play four of their next five games away from Memphis.
The Grizzlies are coming off Friday's 103-94 victory over Houston following back-to-back defeats. Zach Randolph had 21 points and 12 rebounds after scoring a season-low three points and grabbing four boards in Wednesday's loss at New York.
"Man, it's an 82-game season. Even MJ (Michael Jordan) had bad games. It's just part of it," said Randolph, who topped 20 points for the first time since Feb. 27.
Marc Gasol also scored 21 in his second game back from an abdominal tear and helped his team avoid a third straight loss.
"It's always good to be able to be back home and win, especially after we lost a couple of games on the road," Gasol said. "Offensively, I think we did a good job 70 percent of the game, 30 percent we didn't do so good, but we got the win."
The Grizzlies haven't need too much help from Randolph or Gasol when facing Minnesota this season, winning two matchups by a combined 32 points. Mike Conley had 20 points and paced five Grizzlies in double figures in a 92-77 victory over the Timberwolves on March 18.
Tayshaun Prince scored 18 while Conley, Randolph and Austin Daye added 16 apiece in a 105-88 home rout Feb. 10.
The Grizzlies, who finished fourth in the West in 2011-12, are making their first visit to the Target Center since a 91-84 victory April 17, and will face a team that's alternated wins and losses in its last six games.
The Timberwolves scored a surprising 101-93 home win over Northwest Division-leading Oklahoma City on Friday as Nikola Pekovic had 22 points and 15 rebounds. It was the best scoring performance for the center in eight games since returning from an abdominal strain.
"I'm just really proud of how the guys played," coach Rick Adelman said. "(Pekovic) had it really going inside and it's just a solid win against one of the best teams in the league.
"We keep talking about beating good teams, and there's no reason we can't do that. Maybe tonight is going to give us some confidence."
Ricky Rubio, who had 17 points and seven assists Friday, is averaging 13.8 points and 8.0 assists in six games since finishing with two points on 1-of-6 shooting and two assists against Memphis.

Her career may be over, but departing senior forward Rochelle Shuman has made a mark on the Screven County soccer program that won't be forgotten anytime soon.
The Statesboro-Bulloch county Parks and Recreation Department recently wrapped up soccer action for the week.
The Bulloch Academy baseball team waltzed into the state playoffs in style, pummeling Trinity Christian by a score of 15-3 Tuesday to earn the No.3 seed out of Region 4-AAA heading into this weekend's first round of the Georgia Independent School Association tournament.
Southeast Bulloch clinched its first birth in the state golf finals since 2001 this season, riding the efforts of junior Tyler Smith all the way.
BROOKLET – What was supposed to be a rebuilding year is quickly turning into a season to remember as the Southeast Bulloch boys are still alive entering the second round of the Georgia High School association state soccer playoffs.
The Screven County Lady Gamecocks (22-3) advanced to the semifinals of the GHSA Class AA state tennis playoffs Monday with a 4-1 win over fellow No. 2 seed Berrien.
BROOKLET - After one upset road victory in the Georgia High School Association state soccer playoffs, the Southeast Bulloch girls are aiming for another.
NASHVILLE - With his team trailing 2-1 at halftime on the road to Berrien County in the first round of the GHSA Class AA state soccer playoffs, Southeast Bulloch High coach Bob Massee told his team the offense would come through in the second half.
NASHVILLE - Watching her side's 4-1 lead shrink to 4-3 with six minutes to play, Southeast Bulloch High girls soccer coach Kristen Barnhill became a clock watcher.
BROOKLET – Monday's miracle comeback earned Southeast Bulloch a spot in the state playoffs, but the Yellow Jackets couldn't repeat the feat Friday, falling to Dublin by a 12-6 margin in a Region 3-AA playoff game.
BROOKLET – After one of the biggest and most memorable wins in school history, the Southeast Bulloch baseball team still has one more game to go before it can get the state playoff party started.
BROOKLET - At the beginning of the soccer season, there were many questions for the Southeast Bulloch boys soccer team.
SYLVANIA - The No. 2 seed Screven County Lady Gamecocks won the young program's first-ever state playoff soccer game Thursday at home, dispatching No. 3 Brooks County, 3-1.
Chase Purvis blasted a two-out, two-run homer in the top of the fifth inning to lead Pinewood to a 4-2 victory in Region 4-AAA baseball action Wednesday.
The Southeast Bulloch Lady Yellow Jackets didn't get a single first-place finish at the Region 3-AA track and field finals on Tuesday.
When basketball season began back in November, the Statesboro Blue Devils weren't sure what to expect.
Both Bulloch Academy basketball teams hold the top seeds headed into this week's GISA Region 2-AAA basketball tournament.
BROOKLET - In her varsity debut, freshman Emily Barnard scored four goals to lead Southeast Bulloch to a 10-0 season opening victory over Dodge County in girls soccer Thursday at Fred Shaver Field.
Two-time state wrestling champions Justin Lane and Dylan Stuckey lead a talented group of grapplers in a march to Americus this weekend to capture the GISA Class AAA crown.
GUYTON - The last thing Statesboro Coach Lee Hill wanted was a track meet, but that was what he got much to his chagrin.
After three months of grinding competition, prep basketball teams from around the area are priming for one more push that will either send them to the state tournament or send them home for a long offseason.
Bulloch Academy wrestlers won an incredible 12 of 14 weight classes en route to capturing the team's fourth consecutive region title Thursday.
The Statesboro Blue Devils find themselves in a familiar position again back in the state playoffs following their 74-65 win over Richmond Hill Friday night.
SAVANNAH - Lamont Ballard looked like the coolest person in the gym. And, as it turned out he was.

DURABLE is the word for these mats. They undoubtedly will outlive me! I have to wear rubber soled shoes. The mats interfere with my shoes especially getting into the car. I will adjust! The mats don't fit perfectly, but we trimmed them down. It wasn't an easy task, but doable. They are very heavy, but easy to hose down. I would definitely recommend them to a friend. My car is 16 years old; I hope I remember to remove these mats when they haul my car off to the dump!!

the color advertizement picture was different than the product I received. the mats were a medium taupe color rather than the light ivory/biege pictured. This was a pleasant suprise because the color was more practical and complemented the ivory car interior.Fit was also very good, as was the quality. Iam very satisfied.

Quantifying the role of PSA screening in the US prostate cancer mortality decline

To quantify the plausible contribution of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening to the nearly 30% decline in the US prostate cancer mortality rate observed during the 1990s.
Two mathematical modeling teams of the US National Cancer Institute's Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network independently projected disease mortality in the absence and presence of PSA screening. Both teams relied on Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry data for disease incidence, used common estimates of PSA screening rates, and assumed that screening, by shifting disease from distant to local-regional clinical stage, confers a corresponding improvement in disease-specific survival.
The teams projected similar mortality increases in the absence of screening and decreases in the presence of screening after 1985. By 2000, the models projected that 45% (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center) to 70% (University of Michigan) of the observed decline in prostate cancer mortality could be plausibly attributed to the stage shift induced by screening.
PSA screening may account for much, but not all, of the observed drop in prostate cancer mortality. Other factors, such as changing treatment practices, may also have played a role in improving prostate cancer outcomes.

IMO Subban is given a hard time not because of how he plays but who he plays for. Don't forget most of the negative things that are said against him come from media's in either Toronto or boston. Ironically if he played for the leafs he wouldn't get any of the negative things said against him because at the age of 24 he would already be one of the best leafs dmen of all time and in boston they would love him on their blueline paired with chara. Would anybody even know who he is if he played for phoenix or nashville? Not likely. Like I said,in my opinion its because who he plays for not how he plays. - Comment on About last night … (2014-03-25 08:53:38)

If the habs are really in danger of having an emotional let down tonight and now show up to play then maybe it would be wise to give major minutes to guys who play small minutes or have been sitting like tinordi,bournival,galchenyuk and eller (if he is healthy).

Christophe Lemaitre 100m
He is France's new golden boy, that's for sure. For him to be the first white man to break 10 seconds is pretty impressive. He's already been beaten by Dwain Chambers, who will be his main rival here, at the European Team Championships this year, but the European Championships are a three-round event, not just a one-off race. What will be key for him is to make a good start as a slow start let him down when he lost to Chambers earlier in the year. But he's been running pretty strongly for a while – he did not just bounce on the scene by breaking 10secJenny Meadows 800m
In Monaco recently, even though Jenny was beaten, she ran another personal best. She is what you would describe as an A1 battler. If she enters the home straight with a fighting chance of winning that gold medal, she'll bring it home for the UK, that's for sure. She's a canny little runner, and because she's got a lot of basic speed, being slightly shorter can help her. When you need to follow a group, she can tuck in quite nicely and when a little gap does appear, she can get through. I think now Jenny's really learning the art of running 800m. If you look at someone like Kelly Holmes, think how old she was when she won her Olympic medal. It's one of these events you genuinely do have to mature intoDai Greene 400m hurdles
This is a true test for him, because he hasn't been beaten by a European athlete this year. Sometimes that can be a little bit of a hindrance as well, because when you come to an event like this you are expected to deliver the goods. One mistake can be really quite costly, just because you are so confident in winning the event. I think Dai can win, though. He had a massive breakthrough last year going under 40sec for the first time in the event, then making the final of the world championships in BerlinPetr Svoboda 110m hurdles
The Czech Republic athlete is the favourite for the 110m hurdles – the fastest in Europe, though he has two Brits to contend with in Andy Turner and Will Sharman. He set a new personal best in Prague this year so he's in really hot form. But the challenge is not just to run fast, it is to win the title, and winning it takes a little bit more than just pure leg speed. The 110m hurdles have been dominated by the Chinese, the Cubans and the Americans, so the Europeans have really been left behind in recent years. Svoboda got a bronze at the European indoors for 60m hurdles last year, so he's more than capable of following it upChris Thompson 5,000m & 10,000m
Everybody talks about Mo Farah, but Chris is going for the double this week. They rank No2 and No3 in Europe in the 5,000m and No1 and 2 in the 10,000m. Between Chris and Mo in the 10,000m there's less than a second. At 29 Chris is not that young but he has been injured a lot through his career – normal distance-runner injuries, all stress-related. He's coming into his own this year, which is fantastic

HP's System Tools Can Now Manage Public Cloud
By Patrick Thibodeau
WASHINGTON - As Hewlett-Packard expands its galaxy of devices, from handhelds to large servers and new networking products from its recent acquisition of 3Com, it's increasing the automation and management capabilities of its systems tools at a similar pace.
HP officials say its release of HP Business Service Management 9, announced at its Software Universe conference here, represents a rebuilding of this system from its foundation. It can now automate more processes as well as support services running externally in outsourced and cloud environments, such as Amazon's EC2, HP said.
HP officials believe that automation is the true path to cost savings, and this latest release of BSM includes some new approaches. It collects system information in real time using alerts instead of scanning, and has combined the services into one transaction database, according to Robin Purohit, vice president and general manager of HP's software products.
BSM couples this data gathering with tools for determining the root causes of a problem and automated remediation capability, which HP said it has expanded in this release. Although automated remediation capability has improved, Purohit said many users will intervene at that last step and make their own decision on the system's remediation recommendation. That may change in time as their comfort level increases, although in some industries, service providers in particular, there's more of a readiness to rely on an automated response. Service providers "are highly incented to drive cost out," Purohit said. HP has been building in support for external cloud providers for over a year, but this latest release of BSM sews those improvements into the broader framework, he said. Because there is no agreed upon API among cloud providers for interfacing with their systems, HP is building in provider-specific support, although users will also have the tools available to build their connections to a cloud provider. An ideal remedy would be an agreed-upon standard among providers, but "there is not enough interest yet in people for fighting for a public standard because everybody is fighting for land," said Purohit, referring to the market share rush among cloud providers.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Year of the Rat burnt into memory
Kingston flash drive pays homage to the noble rodent.
Considering how many golden pigs and boars we saw last year, it might seem that the noble rat is getting slighted this Lunar New Year. Kingston, however, is doing its best to give the rodent some respect.
The "Data Traveler 101" is a 2GB flash drive that won't break the bank , piggy or otherwise, according to Chip Chick. And at less than $14 the USB key, which bears the a rat and an inscription etched in red, may be the cheapest limited edition ever made.

EU official: Euro banks shouldn't also go through Fed's stress test, WSJ says
Jonathan Hill, the European Union�s new financial markets chief, told The Wall Street Journal that he does not see a need for the U.S. to give stress tests to European banks that have already received health checks in Europe. Hill says banks across Europe are "properly and sensibly capitalized." The WSJ reported last week that the U.S. units of two European banks, Deutsche Bank (DB) and Banco Santander (SAN), are set to fail the Federal Reserve's stress tests, though they passed ECB stress tests last year.

NY AG says Santander Bank to adopt new policies regarding use of ChexSystems
New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced that Santander Bank, N.A. (SAN) has agreed to adopt new policies governing its use of ChexSystems, a consumer-reporting agency that screens people seeking to open checking or savings accounts. Santander�s new policies are expected to allow thousands of additional New Yorkers and consumers nationwide to open bank accounts by September 30. The change comes amid concerns that screenings by ChexSystems and other consumer-reporting agencies, which are used by most of the nation�s banks, adversely affect lower-income applicants and force them to turn to high-cost alternative financial services like check-cashing outlets. With this agreement, Santander now joins Capital One (COF) and Citibank (C) as the third bank to commit to overhaul its use of ChexSystems. The three banks operate a combined 613 branches across New York State and 2,822 branches nationwide.

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has launched an initiative in collaboration with partners in both the private and public sector to promote environmentally responsible disposal of unwanted and expired medications.
Under a pilot program, IEPA has worked with several communities across the state, including county health departments, other local governments and pharmacies to provide expanded opportunities for collecting or dropping off pharmaceutical and personal care products.
The Agency also has done sampling of several public water supplies across the state for a variety of pharmaceuticals. While there currently is no evidence of any imminent human health threat concern, there is a growing concern about the impact on aquatic life and habitat. In addition, with the aging of the large baby boom generation and overall increase in the use of medications, it is important to keep these medications out of our water supplies.
On Oct. 1, 2008, Illinois EPA sponsored a "Meds with Water, Not in Water" Summit Conference in which more than 100 representatives from organizations ranging from the pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution industry, to healthcare providers, law enforcement agencies, drinking water and wastewater treatment agencies, educators and local and state government met to brainstorm on this issue.
The coalitions that emerged from this summit have a two-pronged action objective. The first is to educate the public, through distribution of posters, fact sheets and pamphlets, about proper disposal methods, particularly to discourage the traditional method of flushing pills down the toilet or the drain. The second action objective is to establish a greatly expanded network of secure pharmaceutical collection centers throughout the state. A Medication Education Disposal Solutions (MEDS) Action Committee has been formed as a follow-up to the Summit to work on these objectives.
This IEPA web page is intended to consolidate fact sheets, collection options, useful partner links and other information on the disposal of medications.
With your help we can make Illinois a national leader in reducing the amount of discarded medications entering our rivers and lakes that may otherwise ultimately impact our drinking water supplies and aquatic ecosystems.

Yeah sure why not, but I'd probably plumb some quick disconnects in just so I didn't have to grab a wrench to connect/disconnect. Lookin good by the way.
Using some compression fittings and a Tee I had on hand, I plumbed in an output thermometer. You could easily do this with a cheap Target digital probe thermo with a 1/4" compression fitting and a stack of Orings as a ferrule.
Hi Bobby, Lurker here. I love the tutorials. 2 questions. Can you post a parts list for the thermometer attachment for those of us (especially me) who are not so handy? I am also thinking of trying to build quick-connect parts into everything I build but can't find much information online about using them. Anything you add on that would be great. Also, I can find a pretty cheap deal on 60' of type L 1/2" OD tubing. Will that work ok as well? NVM. I sorted all this out.
I'm working on one right now that uses all brass fittings, with no soldering. It was expensive but I bought everything at HD on my company account so I didn't have to pay for it. I'll be done in a little while and post some pics.

Heres the parts list: 4: Hose barb adapter 5/8 Barb x 3/4 MIP A-495 2: 3/4 cast female pipe tee A-858 2: Ander-lign Compression X MIP union. 3/8 Comp. x 3/4 MIP w/insert you also need a 3/8 drill bit to ream out the center of this piece, otherwise the tubing will not go through. 25' 3/8 coper tubing 25' 5/8 rubber hose
I can appreciate the simplicity of the no-solder system for sure. The tradeoff is a slight bit more cost. Looks good. Adding an output thermometer is as easy as using a 3/8" compression Tee. One end goes on the output tube and the center tap is the new output. A short piece of 3/8" copper on here makes a new place to clamp a hose on. The other end of the Tee is where you'd take your thermo probe and use a short piece of 3/16" ID tubing to build up the probe's diameter to make a seal. I'm referring to the instant read digitals that you can get at Target, etc.
I don't really need a thermometer yet, but yes it would be easy to install. I used it on Sunday, and man did it work well. The wort went in at about 205ish and came out at about 68.
I made my own CFC today using the design in the original post. I started with a 60ft el-cheapo hose and 50 ft of copper. I only used a 30 ft piece of copper because I realized that more would not only be unnecessary and maybe tougher to clean, but a huge pain to force 50ft of copper into a hose. My results? 2.5 gallons of boiling water cooled to 68 F in 8 minutes. WOW. My tap water flows at 67 and we were able to cut the flow waaay back and get 68* "wort" (water in this case) coming out. I'm going to put a perforated tube on the output of this for a venturi aerator, and once I start doing 5 gallon boils I'll be cooled, aerated, and transfered 15 minutes after flameout. Here is the complete and accurate price breakdown for anyone interested: 60' vinyl garden hose......9.96 (4) hose clamps.............3.80 (2) copper tee...............1.50 flux and solder...............8.97 (6) 2" x 1/2" copper........3.93 (2) 1/2" to 1/4" reducer...2.16 50' copper tube............59.90TOTAL........................90.22 A 25' peice of copper would have saved money (~$25) and I wish I would have just done that but I was worried about the fact that I'm a)probably going to be in an apartment for a while and might be using sink faucet with less flow and b)I'm moving to florida which probably has hotter tap water. If I had known this was going to work so well I would have just gone with 25'. Oh well, I have 20' of leftover copper for whatever I can find a use for it. I may have spent a little extra for the insurance but I'm a pretty happy camper. It worked out well, and I got to make it the way I wanted it. I even have ten feet of hose for the water in and water out line, so it can be hooked up directly to the faucet and drained to wherever is convenient without additional hose.
I'm ready to move up to a cfc (esp. since brewing a lot this summer -sheesh!) and to make it cost effective want to use my NB immersion chiller. Any thoughts as to why this wouldn't work? It's 3/8 OD. Thanks for your comments!!! and the DIY, bobby cb
The only caution I have is that soft copper starts getting stiffer and brittle (like all metals) the more it is flexed. You'll have to uncoil it to get it inside the hose, then recoil it. It should go OK, but be careful.

Nerdist Podcast: Alex Trebek
By Katie Levine on May 16, 2014
The legendary Alex Trebek sits down with Chris to talk about starting out his career as a news reporter in Canada, how he has seen Jeopardy! over the years, the importance of not letting ego get in the way of happiness, and the time Chris was on Celebrity Jeopardy and won!
Watch the final Jeopardy! Battle of the Decades tonight, May 16th!
I'll take "Things Only I Know" for $400, Alex.
Are Matt and Jonah ever coming back? I can't listen to Chris only episodes.
Jonah was just on a few episodes, though this does further Matt's serious streak. I see where you're coming from, though, the Chris only episodes feel more like interviews rather than a group of friends chatting. For certain guests this format isn't a terrible thing, Trebek and Saget are good examples.
It's not me only! Alex Friggin Trebek is on!!! You're a fool not to listen to him. He'sawesome! I know whining takes up a lot of time but if you can squeeze this one in I highly recommend it!
Didn't mean to shit on you with that. I just think you guys balance each other out very well.
My plan is to potentially add a 4th ep each week that's a dedicated hostful. Our guests are pretty pitched to us these days and it's hard for me to say no to people I want to chat with but I also don't want the show to lose its original vibe. We're working on making that happen!
Chris, I have no idea why these other jerks are giving you crap, but ignore them. I absolutely loved this episode, I look forward to every episode, and you are a fantastic host. I hope you do the fix-it-man show with Alex! I would watch that.
Eric, you are a gentleman!
The only thing that bugs me about Chris is when he goes off on a tangent about stand-up or gets started on one of his 'you know, because, in comedy…" We get it! Talk more about the guest, you're hilarious, work your craft into your banter.
The only thing about Andrew that bugs me is that when he replies an actual person he refers to them in third person.
And I kinda agree, but you can't really blame a workaholic comedian to almost only have frames of reference that revolve around… comedy.
Great episode. Good to learn Alex Trebek seems like a good guy, humble, cracking jokes. Sounds like a sports fan, so would have been nice to have Matt on this one, but the inside baseball about hosting was awesome. The ability to showcase other people, good stuff.
I seriously didn't expect much from this one, but actually really enjoyed it.
Being a Jeopardy junkie I squealed when I saw Trebek was going to be on. I always thought he seemed like a pretty cool guy, but DUDE!!!! They guy is truly fascinating! Fixing stuff, all the charitable work, just seems like a really swell guy!
Also, I was like Chris, thinking no one could ever replace Trebek. But he does make a valid point in pointing out Hardwick would be a great new host for Jeopardy whenever they're on the market for one. -
This ep was friggen great. Alex's dry ass humor had me rolling. I wish Chris had asked him about SNL Celebrity Jeopardy.
The ice DOES melt in Edmonton just like everywhere else, and the summers are crazy hot. Don't believe Trebeks lies and slander people.
(Accidentally sent this in as a quemment first).
This episode was fantastic. I love Trebek's voice, and it was awesome to just listen to him Chat with Chris about life. Good job! -
There are some episodes that are really pleasant to listen to and this was one of them. It wasn't outrageously funny and didn't head into really surprising territory but Alex Trebek is that kind of guy you could just listen to and enjoy because he has an easiness to him (plus his voice and diction is great).
This is one of the best episodes ever. Please, please, please figure out a way to make the Trebek reality show happen, even if it's a web-only special.
I'm really enjoying getting to hear who Trebec is, after seeing his face and hearing his voice for decades, but never really knowing anything about who he is.
But yea, cohosts are good. -
What is "a show well done"
what is "older men i have a boner for"? <3
[…] We learn that Mr. Trebek was educated in Catholic school by Jesuits, the Oblates of Mary, and he was…. […]
Before I say anything else, I want to state that I actually did enjoy the Harrison Ford episode quite a bit.
Now that that's out of the way, Alex reminds me a lot of Harrison, in terms of tone, general manliness, lives his own life outside of show business, etc. Alex is really elegant, but I kept imagining this as what the Ford episode would've been if he hadn't been so tight-lipped. It felt… redemptive. In any case, it was a great episode! -
Great episode, but one quick Latin correction:Only nouns and adjectives are declined. Verbs are conjugated.
Chris, I've noticed that you've brought up the whole 54% of English words are derived from Latin before. The % of vocab derived from a particular language family does not determine which family that language belongs in. English is a Germanic language because of it syntax and grammatical structures. Plus, very basic words, like pronouns, articles, and basic verbs like to be are Germanic in origin, not Latin.
Could you be any more wrong? wow.
syntax and sentence structure is far different. Do you think people that speak english structure sentences like that. There is a reason why english doesn't compound words together stupidly, because it's stupid in use to group verb+verb and noun+noun compounds. or even numbers. there is a reason why it's written one-hundred thousand, instead of onehundredthousand. It is a Latin system of speaking arabic numbers. Not Germanic. Not much of English is Germanic anymore…. Read a book -
You really don't know what you are talking about. English has a Proto-Germanic core in middle/old English, that is it. no one speaks that anymore, and for good reason, it was incoherent and the grammatical structure of it is stupid. It has most of it's influence from Latin. Chris is right, any linguistic major knows that. Why don't you? Even more so than the Germanic influence. & It's not 54% it is higher. It's 58% of English deriving from the Romance languages of Latin and French combined. Even French has a larger influence on English than the Germanic languages do….. Germanic influence on english is a far minority.
i really enjoyed this episode. One of the best lately!
Alex hosting the one game show that is possibly nerdier than Jeopardy… Starcade!
Anyone else hear Bryan Cranston when you forgot who the guest was?
am sorry but I hate that smug sob
OMG yes, yes, a million times yes! I am such a huge Jeopardy fan, but have always found him irritatingly pompous and his banter with contestants often seems to me to be laced with a mild air of superiority or contempt. Perhaps I just buy into the "tall poppy syndrome" but the "humble wisdom" with which he's branded himself comes across as completely undeserved since he's never the one responding under a buzzer and always has the right answers in front of him on a bunch of cue cards.
I was hoping this interview would enlighten me, since he's given so few over the years, but all it did was reinforce my distaste for Trebek and his snobbery masked as demure erudition.
Chris's "nerd" party line is that a "nerd" is just some one who gets overly excited about any certain topic…. generally stuff like graphic novels, or video games or D & D or science or music (or DMB for Matt) or comedians. Whatever your "thing" is – right? However Alex made at least 4 NBA references (Clippers 2x, Donald Sterling & Dr. J) on this podcast & Chris didn't pick up on it at all! Clearly, basketball is Trebek's nerd thing & even though it is not a topic Chris is as familiar with I wish he would have taken note. That said, keep up the good work boys (& Katie) – love the variety of people your have on & you have opened my sports nerd eyes to a lot of new & cool topics.p.s. as you can see by my "aol" email I am clearly NOT a tech nerd!
A petit… never mind. Let's move to animal sounds for 400.
[…] Trebek recently offered a rare glimpse into his own life and the the show's production on the Nerdist podcast. The interview was over and hour, the longest Trebek has given, and four times the length of his […]
I think Trebek's comedy voice is the best thing ever "Oh yeah those berries are fine" haha
His "comedy voice" is very Johnathan Winters like. But hard to fault a guy for imitating a legend.

The standard java package, java.util, comes with a group of useful data structure classes (e.g. Stack, LinkedList, HashSet, and TreeSet classes). Unfortunately the Queue class is not implemented within this standard package. In this article we discuss three approaches to implement a Queue class.
A stack is a data structure where you can only access the item at the top. With a computer stack, just like a stack of dishes, you add items to the top and remove them from the top. This behavior is known as LIFO (Last In, First Out). In contrast, a queue is a data structure in which elements are removed in the same order they were entered. This is often referred to as FIFO (First In, First Out).
The basic two operations of the stack are:
a. A stack with 4 elements b. The stack after pop operation
Figure 1: Pop operation for Stack class
Figure 1.a shows a stack with four elements, the brown element is the top of the stack. Figure 1.b shows the same stack after the execution of the pop operation, the brown element has removed and the green element became the top of the stack.
There are also two basic queue operations:
This exception is thrown by Queue class methods to indicate an empty queue and it will be used with the following three discussed approaches.
The first approach is similar to the one used for implementing java.util.Stack class. In this implementation the Queue1 class will extend the java.util.Vector class with the operations that allow a vector to be treated as a queue.
The enqueue method uses the inherited addElement method to add an object to the end of the vector. The dequeue method uses the inherited removeElementAt to remove the first stored object from the vector. In fact removing the top of the vector requires an additional task handled by the removeElementAt method. The remaining vector elements must be shifted up one position, see figure 2.
It should be noted that this implementation suffers a performance problem, especially with large number of queue elements. Figure 2 shows that each time dequeue method is called the first element of the Vector will be removed causing the remaining Vector elements to be shifted up one step. However, this is not the case with the Stack class, where each call to the pop method will remove the last element of the Vector and so there is no need to shift the remaining elements (see figure 1). In other words, although this approach is efficient for implementing the Stack class, it is not efficient for implementing the Queue class.
a. A queue with 4 elements b. After dequeue
Figure 2: Dequeue operation for first implementation (the remaining three elements had been shifted up one position). This approach aims to overcome the above mentioned performance problem by building the Queue class on the top of a LinkedList class since the deletion of the first element of the linked list will not result a shift in the remaining elements.
A problem with this approach arises because of inheritance. The user of this Queue2 class can invoke some inherited methods like addFirst or getLast causing unwanted behaviors of the Queue class.
In this approach object composition will be used instead of inheritance. In general, object composition should be favored over inheritance. It promotes smaller, more focused classes and smaller inheritance hierarchies. Most designers overuse inheritance, resulting in large inheritance hierarchies that can become hard to deal with. A design based on object composition will have fewer classes, but more objects.
This implementation results in a powerful and focused Queue class. However the developer has to explicitly hard code all the required interface (e.g. methods like size, empty, indexOf). The complete code of the third approach is available.
Yasser EL-Manzalawy is a java programmer and instructor since 1998. He is currently an assistant Lecturer at the Systems & Computers Engineering Department, AZHAR University, Cairo. His Ph.D. research project aims to extend the Java language for agent based systems.
Queue: A Missed java.util Class
January 8, 2004
Stack Vs. Queue
The EmptyQueueException
public class EmptyQueueException extends RuntimeException
public EmptyQueueException() { }
First Approach
public class Queue1 extends Vector
public Object enqueue (Object element)
addElement (element);
return element;
public Object dequeue ()
int len = size();
if (len == 0)
throw new EmptyQueueException();
Object obj = elementAt(0);
removeElementAt (0);
return obj;
Second Approach
public class Queue2 extends LinkedList
public Object enqueue (Object element)
add (element);
return element;
public Object dequeue ()
if (size()== 0)
throw new EmptyQueueException() ;
return removeFirst();
Third Approach
public class Queue
private LinkedList items;
public Object enqueue (Object element)
items.add (element);
return element;
public Object dequeue ()
if (items.size()== 0)
throw new EmptyQueueException() ;
return items.removeFirst();

Senate Approves VA Reform Bill
Friday, August 1, 2014
(Washington, DC) -- A bill reforming the troubled Veterans Affairs Department is headed to President Obama's desk after final passage by the Senate. The legislation goes after systemic VA scheduling problems and unreasonable wait times. It would give many vets the option of seeking care outside the VA system. The roughly 17-billion dollar measure provides funding to expand VA facilities and hire more doctors and nurses. It also aims to make it easier to fire corrupt or incompetent VA employees. The House passed the VA bill on Wednesday.

Dallas, TX — Outrage is growing over a Texas judge who sentenced the admitted rapist of a 14 year-old girl, to probation. Sir Young was also exempted from several standard sex offender regulations. The judge is now rescuing herself after sparking even more anger by implying the victim was promiscuous, Nick Valencia reports.
A Dallas District Judge is under fire, after handing down, what some say, is an inappropriately light sentence in a rape case. 20 year-old Sir Young pleaded guilty to raping his classmate in a room at Booker T. Washington High School in 2011.
He faced up to a 20 years in jail, but was instead sentenced to five years of probation and a 45 day stint in jail.
Andrea Moseley, Chief Prosecutor Dallas County DA, "We're certainly concerned about the message that's being sent to victims of sexual assault...and that they will feel safe coming forward and reporting these crimes."
But, it wasn't just the sentence that shocked the community.
Judge Jeanine Howard publicly implied the 14 year-old victim was promiscuous and not "The victim she claimed to be."
Howard told the Dallas Morning News she based the sentence, in part, on medical records which she says indicated the girl had three sexual partners and had given birth to a baby.
She stand by her ruling, telling the paper that Young was "Not your typical sex offender."
The victim denies the claims and has said since the verdict she regrets coming forward about the rape, "I was shocked that a judge, someone that I trusted with this case, would go behind my back...and make these allegations that she knows nothing about."
Adding to the firestorm was another condition that stunned rape advocates, Young was ordered to serve 250 hours of community service at a rape crisis center, a condition that changed after the center said he was not welcome there.
Bobbie Villarreal, Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center, "Just having a criminal defendant in the office could be a triggering effect for many of our clients; it's just not appropriate."
Following public backlash, Howard rescued herself from the case. A new judge will oversee the case moving forward, including a motion filed by prosecutors to add more restrictive requirements to his probation.
Young is currently serving his 45 day jail sentence.

We received a light snow in NJ today to make the roads slippery. I was going around a turn on this morning and started slipping. Let go of the gas, slowed down, then engaged the 4wd with the wheels turned slightly and heard a noise. Do you think it cause damage to the 4wd since I engage it with the wheels slightly turned? I'm new to the 4wd drive but i know you want to make sure the wheels are straight. Just want to make sure i didn't cause any damage.
Thanks for the help.

S&P Capital IQ Expands Valuations Coverage Of Derivatives Products
NEW YORK, March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing the need within global capital markets for increased pricing data and transparency, S&P Capital IQ, a leading provider of multi-asset class data, valuations, research and analytics, has announced that it has broadened its coverage of derivatives and other complex financial instruments. These valuations are available via a feed or a secure web-based solution that enhances a client's valuation process, from trade upload, mapping, and through to reporting and challenges.
Buoyed by the acquisition of CMA, a leading source of independent data in the over-the-counter credit derivatives markets, S&P Capital IQ has recently expanded its derivatives pricing capabilities, including a significant increase of its coverage of credit default swaps and interest rate swaps. Among other benefits, the acquisition enables S&P Capital IQ to extract expanded company statistics from the CMA data base, resulting in more information on credit default swap (CDS) curves and other market data points from the derivatives market. This broader coverage comes at a time when derivatives dealers are increasingly using the overnight indexed swap (OIS) curve, instead of the more traditional London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), to discount derivatives cash flows.
"The acquisition, and now the integration of CMA into S&P Capital IQ, allows us to provide greater derivatives capabilities to the marketplace," said Frank Ciccotto, a Senior Vice President at S&P Capital IQ. "The ability to leverage our market-leading CDS data, CDS curve construction and transparency tools is an important step in providing the market with increased coverage and transparency. We are excited to launch this initial capability."
Asset managers, hedge funds, regulators, corporate treasurers, custodians, auditors, pension funds, and fund administrators are among the users of these services and value the transparency provided by the S&P Capital IQ approaches to valuing these complex financial instruments.
