This had to be a setup. I'm minding my business Thursday. Boss calls with an idea. He wants to poll our NFL divisional bloggers on a potential expanded playoff format. I'm game.
Initial reaction: Why mess with a good thing? Why lower the bar? Aren't 12 teams enough? But after thinking it over and consulting with my internal contrarian, another question came to mind. Why not? What's so special or sacred about the current setup? Nothing, is what.
"Don't give me this stuff about watering down the product," I told the boss. "That ship sailed a long time ago. More football, please. More late-season drama, please. We could selfishly call it the St. Louis Rams Restoration Act of 2012, because an expanded playoff field would help teams such as the Rams, who are currently 6-6-1 and riding a three-game winning streak, but still a long shot for the playoffs under the current system."
Turns out I was the only one taking such a position. The item published Thursday makes me look like some sort of outcast, even more than usual. But as I mentioned during some back-and-forth on Twitter, I'm not proposing bumper boats and a go-kart track for Augusta National. We're just talking about adding to the postseason fun. If you ask me, most of the cons are imaginary ones.
Opponents overwhelmingly fret over the potential watering down of the product into something approximating what passes for the postseason in other sports. But we're not talking about best-of-seven series here. We're talking about strengthening the idea that just about every team has a real chance to do something special. The NFL does a great job selling the promise of tomorrow. That's part of the draft's appeal, too.
"Thanks for being the lone voice in favor of expanded playoffs," an NFC West blog reader named Andy wrote. "The problem with 'experts' weighing in is that they're not die-hard fans of particular teams.
"Pundits are happy with the playoffs because the playoffs exist every year for them. If you're a Browns fan, they only exist every once in a while. Christmas would not get any less special if we got presents for every kid instead of just for most. If you're a crappy team, hey, you might get a playoff game three times in 10 years instead of never. If you're a good team, your team is more likely to get a playoff win."
Expanding the playoff field would not open the floodgates for teams with losing records. Losing teams would most likely qualify for an expanded playoff field only if they won their divisions, same as the situation now. The additional playoff berths would usually go to teams finishing 8-8 or better. Eight missed the playoffs last season.
The current system, in place since 1990, has excluded from the postseason 47 teams that were 9-7 or better, according to Elias Sports Bureau. The 2010 Seattle Seahawks were the only team worse than 8-8 to qualify during that time, and that was simply because the planets aligned so that no team from the NFC West had a winning record that season. Even then, Seattle knocked off the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints in a game that produced one of the all-time great runs in league history.
Look, I'm not campaigning for an expanded playoff field, but neither can I see any great risk to the game in selling the dream to a few additional fan bases each winter.

Drop in Unemployment Could Have Little Impact on Default Numbers: Analysts
he unemployment rate dropped in November, the U.S. Labor Department reported Friday, as companies shed the fewest number of jobs since the recession kicked in two years ago. Government statistics show that last month, the jobless rate edged down to 10.0 percent, falling from the 26-year-high 10.2 percent hit in October.
Only 11,000 jobs were lost in November, the Labor Department said. Economists had forecast a loss of as much as 130,000, consistent with the average of 135,000 job cuts seen in the prior three months. The employment market still has a long way to go, though, to recover from the damage done since the start of the recession in December 2007, when the jobless rate was 4.9 percent.
The growing consensus within the mortgage industry is that unemployment is now the primary driver pushing delinquency numbers higher, so the upbeat November labor report is likely a hopeful sign that the pace of loan deterioration could subside sooner rather than later. But analysts at Amherst Securities Group say their research tells a different story.
The firm is a holding company for financial firms working with institutional investors of mortgage-related assets, and a study from its head of residential debt, Laurie Goodman, says borrowers who have been hit hard by falling home prices and owe more than their home is worth are more likely to fall behind on their mortgage payments than homeowners who lose their job.
According to Goodman, borrowers who are underwater with combined loan-to-value (LTV) ratios greater than 120 percent pose a higher delinquency risk.

The unemployment statistics are obviously broken. Logically, if 10,000 jobs (net, I assume) are lost how can the unemployment percentage drop? 1984 Gov't math.
Exactly, why anyone trusts any numbers coming from this government in light of how diligently they are investigating climate fraud is beyond me.
Not to mention we have no idea where the TARP money went there is no accounting of it.
Or the money they are dumping into the sinking ships GM and Chrysler.
They are probably manipulating the hell out of everything hoping to hide the economic problems long enough to keep the democrats in power in 2010.
Come January, there will be a triple whami. 1) The seasonal workers will get axed. 2) The retail stores that had a horrible Christmas season will have layoffs of full-time workers + some will simply close their doors. 3) Although they won't be reflected in the unemployment numbers, there will be a fair amount of college graduates (graduating after having to take an extra semester) that will not have a lot of success finding a job.
My favorite aspect of the media's reporting of this "economic miracle" was their shameless assertion that the really good news was that so many of these new jobs were temp positions that usually lead to permanent positions. ROFLMAO . . . how
dumb do they think we are?
I agree...
"...since the recession kicked in two years ago."
This must be the new talking point. I see it in EVERY article I read on this mess. They'll cover Barry's arse until the day he's gone!
Bush's Fault! *SMIRK*
The top level numbers are still inconsistent mathematically. I realize this has been going on as long as there has been a Dept of Labor, but believe that they need to get their top story straight.
The whole mess needs to be dropped off at Reid and PElosi's front doorsteps.
It is chilling.
I'm sure that was the intention when they introduced new metrics by which recessions were defined . . . so they could retroactively declare the event and in the process indemnify their precious O' Duce if he got into office.
Another freeper mentioned yesterday (not sure if it is accurate, but it made me take notice) that any businesses that laid off folks before Dec 31 of this year would be on the hook for 92 weeks of unemployment insurance. They said that it resets in Jan, back to the 26 weeks that is the norm. If that is the case, it would seem to me, that it would be prudent for employers to wait to drop the axe until after Christmas. It would be much less expensive in terms of continuing to pay employees for another few weeks to get to the 26 weeks of UI. What say you,freepers?
It should be made clear by the would-be cheerleaders around the nation that there has been NO - repeat NO - decrease in unemployment. There has been a very modest arrest in the rates of NEWLY unemployed workers. It's a very significant difference, and one which the Professional Liars in the media and government are eager to fudge.
Investment Profit Vehicles For The Intensifying Financial And Economic Storm ("A Great Collapse")
Employers pay state unemployment insurance. Their rates are liek group rates but your exposure is based upon valid claims and thus how you pay in the future.
You don't pay for the unemployed persons claim directly, but the lenght and number of claimss eventually impact your cost.
That would make sense then, that they would wait until Jan. to do major amounts of layoffs. Not only would it cost less if the amount of insurance was for 26 vs 92 weeks, but they would also have a whole year to have their rate not be affected by said layoffs....
"Bushs Fault! *SMIRK* "
The whole mess needs to be dropped off at Reid and PElosi's front doorsteps.
Actually yes, it is very much "Bush's Fault!"
or if you prefer, it's the "fault" of bipartisan globalism that has been practiced for the last 20 years.
The corrupt weasels who run our government encouraged Americans to borrow money and consume more than we produce, essentially conducting a Trade War against our domestic industries, causing countless millions of jobs to be downsized and outsourced. Simultaneously, they flooded our labor force with illegal immigrants to depress domestic wages and benefits while futher burdening social services.
Now the chickens have come home to roost.
Prosperity will not return as long as Trade Policies continue to undermine our own domestic industries.
We cannot continue to consume more than we produce.
It's Bush 41's fault! (Poppy)
It's Klinton's fault!
It's SOB's fault! (The pathetic spawn of '41)
It's the Messiah's fault! (as if he has a snowball's chance of cleaning up W's mess anyway)

Accounting – Profession vs. Science
Defining accounting as a scientific field has been a matter of controversy. This paper is intended to describe the scientific grounds of accounting by way of analysing the International Financial Reporting Standards system. We compare T. S. Kuhn's theory of scientific philosophy with the regulations and evolution of the selected reporting system. We conclude that the elements of the disciplinary matrix of accounting are prescribed by the Framework and by the specific problem-solving methods associated with the standards. Over the last few decades, the economy has been subject to fundamental changes that have tested the resilience of any accounting system. These challenges to the paradigm have launched a series of shifts in the field of international accounting, which correspond to the steps of scientific revolutions described by Kuhn. At present, standard setters are focused on renewing the reporting paradigm and formulating globally relevant standards.

A tornado sweeps through a town devastating almost everything in its path, leaving a few houses standing. A pair of snipers terrorize several states, wounding some, killing others. Two people meet for the first time unexpectedly and fall in love.
The answer to the question of whether these events happen by chance or whether some sort of higher power has control over the proceedings depends on where you look and who you ask.
Look in the Bible, and it's clear in Christian theology that God is in control. Ask a Buddhist and the answer is different. Ask a philosophy professor and it can get even more complicated.
The history question predates Christianity going back to the Greeks, to two groups of people: the Stoics, members of a Greek school of philosophy founded about 308 B.C., and the hedonists, said Sean Kelly, assistant philosophy professor at West Texas A & M University.
The Stoics believed their God, or gods, controlled everything. Everything was predetermined and happened for a reason. The hedonists, on the other hand, believed there was no controlling force and everything happened by chance.
They took the approach of enjoying that lack of control.
In the 18th century, skeptics started looking at the idea of an authoritative God. Philosopher David Hume postulated that because we don't know if he exists, we should remain skeptical, Kelly said.
"He said, 'We don't know why (things happen), we don't know how, there's no way we can prove there's a divine plan, let's just say it's chance,' " Kelly said.
The thought that God may not be at least somewhat in control never crosses the mind of Gil Lain, pastor of Paramount Baptist Church in Amarillo.
"Yes, there's a God in control, and I know this from faith and the Scripture," he said.
But that control is not of every detail.
"The Lord has given to us free will. We're not puppets on a string; we make choices. Sometimes the choices we make are bad ones, " Lain said.
He quoted Romans 8:28 - "We know that, in everything, God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose (RSV)."
"He (God) never said we wouldn't have problems," Lain said. "He did say he'd walk us through them."
Jack Martin of Memphis said he has had this experience. In 1997, he received a kidney transplant and the prognosis wasn't good.
"It brought me closer to understanding the Lord," he said. "I asked him to give me a second chance. He did. Now I try to use my second chance again to help people."
Linda Martin of Amarillo, on the other hand, hasn't seen this personal connection.
"Yes, there's definitely a higher power," she said. "The universe didn't get put together by chance. As far as a higher power that monitors every action that we do, I sort of have my doubts."
Things happen: animals and people die, accidents occur without rhyme or reason, others say.
"If there is a God, he/she/it doesn't seem to be in control," said James Doores of Amarillo. "What we also observe, there seems to be laws of nature by which things operate. They don't seem to be moving toward any specific purpose. There's lots of chaos out there."
In the case of natural activity, a god doesn't pick and choose who gets affected and who doesn't, he said.
"There's a lot of chance," he said.
"The idea that God picks up 35 people that he would get tornadoes to kill, it's too absurd to talk about it."
Chance and God do not need to be separate, according to some theological discussions.
In "Theory of Chance," an essay on the subject by a Muslim writer on the Al-Muhajiroun Web site, a Creator made the conditions for which seemingly random events happen.
"Surely the only explanation is that those conditions, those forces, that chance and the very first matter originated from an unlimited source, beyond all power and might," the unidentified writer states. "Our Creator, Allah."
Buddhist thought puts the question a similar way.
"The answer to the question (is there a God in control, or is everything up to chance?) is yes," said Tony Tackitt of Amarillo, a practicing Buddhist. "What may seem paradoxical from a logical point of view doesn't necessarily have to be in a spiritual point of view."
Spirituality has nothing to do with it, said Ron Barrier, the national spokesman for American Atheists.
No one knows why things happen, so emotion should be taken out altogether, he said.
"The issue of God reflects our ignorance of nature, our unique impulse to impose what we feel on nature," he said.

amazing. my husband even made a flaky pie crust with this. thank you for this recipe!
I would like to thank Charlotte for sharing her flour blend.Using the Better Homes and Garden New Cook Book/favorite pancake recipe it produced the most wonderful pancakes.It has worked great with everything I have tried it with except biscuits which are edible but not in the same class as the pancakes and bread.
Works perfectly! I used to use Bette Hagmans Featherlight mix, but I really wanted brown rice in my all purpose flour for some nutritional value. Thank you for sharing!

TNR Gold Corp. Files Technical Report On Shotgun Gold Project, Alaska TNR.v 0 comments
"This new move by Rob McEwen can be very positive for the company and means that now Los Azules will not be up for the fire sale just to finance the El Galo II and the proper bids for the projects will be welcomed by end of Q2. El Galo II can now be developed without throwing out the Los Azules to the first buyer coming alone. PEA is due in Q3 and we can have dramatically different markets by then as well.
In the big economic picture Yen was rising against the US dollar from overnight and, as we have twitted before - Watch The Gold Now. Gold has it fireworks today and is UP 35 dollars or 2.6%. Over-shorted stocks like McEwen Mining do not need a second reminder about the explosive nature of Junior Mining - company is on fire today with 5.5 million shares traded only in US (Canada was closed today) and is UP 18.9% to 2.33 dollars. Tomorrow will be interesting day with Canadian markets open - we need the follow through action now with Gold and Miners to confirm the April Gold Low.
Meanwhile TNR Gold insiders continue to accumulate:"
"Los Azules is a large undeveloped copper porphyry system located in western San Juan Provincewithin a belt of porphyry copper deposits that straddles the Chilean/Argentine border. This belt contains some of the world's largest copper deposits, including Codelco's El Teniente and Andinamines,Anglo American'sLos Bronces mine, Antofagasta PLC's Los Pelambres mine and Xstrata'sEl Pachón project, among others. Los Azules is one of the world's largest, highest grade, undeveloped copper-porphyry deposits not owned by a major base metals company."
"Action with McEwen Mining was quite interesting this week and, particularly, on Friday. Stock has refused to follow the Gold that day and stubbornly was climbing higher all day. Rob McEwen was making some of his magic on Thursday at the conference call after the Q1 update and McEwen Mining Shareholders meeting will be taken place next week. Chief Owner has promised release from one of the exploration program before it and Los Azules new resource estimate is due by the end of May. According to his facebook page, Rob was on the road last few weeks talking to numerous Investment Banks..."
"Now you can slice and dice it: what will be the price for Los Azules and what will be the effect on McEwen Mining and, particularly, TNR Gold valuations and market caps. All slides are from McEwen Mining presentations."PI Financial Corp. Engaged as Financial Advisor for Sale of TNR Gold's Back-in Right to the Los Azules Copper Project, Argentina TNR.v, MUX
TNR Gold Shotgun Gold Project - Alaska
TNR Gold Corp. Files Technical Report on Shotgun Gold Project, Alaska
Vancouver B.C., May 30, 2013: TNR Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "TNR") has filed on SEDAR a Technical Report (effective date May 27, 2013) supporting the recently completed resource estimate on the Shotgun Gold project in Alaska. Nicholas Van Wyck, Ph.D. CPG of Sisyphus Consulting, an independent qualified person as defined by NI 43-101, is the primary author of the report with Allan Armitage, Ph.D., P.Geol of Geovector Management, also an independent qualified person, responsible for the resource calculation at Shotgun Ridge, an area of gold mineralization located within the Shotgun Gold project.
TNR reported via a news release dated April 22, 2013 an inferred mineral resource at Shotgun Ridge containing 20,734,313 tonnes with 1.06 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") for a total of 705,960 ounces gold using a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off. The mineralization is clearly open at depth with some potential to extend laterally. The inferred mineral resource disclosed in the Technical Report is consistent with the disclosure of the inferred mineral resource announced in TNR's April 22, 2013 news release.
The Company has identified unique geophysical anomalies in magnetics, resistivity and chargeability responses that coincide with the known mineralization and also occurs in areas adjacent to the known mineralization providing several targets for follow-up testing. The report recommends a budget for 8000 metres of drilling, upgraded logistics and camp facilities and additional airborne and ground geophysical surveys. Drilling would focus on testing the newly identified targets and the extents of the known mineralization laterally and at depth.ABOUT THE SHOTGUN GOLD PROJECT
TNR holds a 100% interest in the Shotgun property located 190 kilometres south of the Donlin Gold Project deposits within the Kuskokwim Gold Belt in southwestern Alaska. This area is emerging as a world-class, multimillion ounce gold district. The Shotgun property includes a number of prospects, including Shotgun Ridge and nearby Winchester. Donlin Gold is an intrusion-associated system and represents one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the world. The Company believes that there are several key similarities between prospects on the Shotgun property and that of the Donlin Gold Project deposits as well as other important intrusion-associated deposits width wide.
TNR acquired 100% of the Shotgun Ridge prospect in 2010 following a 50/50 joint venture with Novagold Resources Inc. ("Novagold"). A total of 66 mining claims, each 160 acres, are located over and surrounding the Shotgun Ridge prospect for a total of 10,560 acres (4273.48 hectares).
Ground geophysical surveys conducted in 2011 and 2012 by TNR helped to identify structural controls on mineralization at Shotgun Ridge. Drill testing in 2012 confirmed the structural model of mineralization with two drill holes returning mineralized intervals in excess of 200 metres, SR12-56 returned 242 metres averaging 1.25 g/t gold and SR12-57 returned 209 metres averaging 1.02 g/t gold (news release dated 10 October 2012).
The Company is targeting a large tonnage low-grade porphyry system at Shotgun Ridge. Structural repeats, as interpreted from airborne magnetic data and ground geophysical surveys, provide TNR with encouraging targets for future drill testing.ABOUT TNR GOLD CORP.
Over the past twenty-one years TNR, through its lead generator business model, has been successful in generating high quality exploration projects around the globe. With the Company's expertise, resources and industry network, it is well positioned to aggressively identify, source, explore, partner and continue to expand its project portfolio.
TNR is also a major shareholder of International Lithium Corp. (TSX:ILC.V) ("ILC"), a company created by TNR to advance its internationally acquired lithium prospects. TNR currently holds about 25.5% of the outstanding shares of ILC.
At its core, TNR provides significant exposure to gold and copper through its holdings in Alaska and Argentina and is committed to continued generation of in-demand projects, while diversifying its markets and building shareholder value.

Russia: Punishment halted against middle school girl accused of spreading gay 'propaganda'
Post your comment

Reader comments
All I can think of when it comes to Russia is… "Think of the children!" Now what do they propose to do? >.>
Sadly, we know that once the by then dirty and unkempt looking journalists have left Sochi normal service will be resumed.
I suppose when Putin's highly-intelligent, intellectual regime was drafting the anti-gay propaganda law, no-one figured on minors themselves spreading material. This must have TOTALLY thrown them. I believe that is why they have halted the prosecution. What really needs to happen now is for millions of young people simultaneously to begin spreading pro-gay material. They couldn't punish them all so the regime and it's vile law would look increasingly ridiculous.
you see Putin has mistakenly took the so-called "expert" advice of Bryan Fischer and his pal Scott Lively of the American family Association too seriously. The backfire has just begun. it is too bad that story of the failed ex-gay ministry of 37 years entitled Exodus International can't be presented to Russia as a real live failed attempt of gay to heterosexual conversion.
Just leave the kids alone, please, Mr. Putin, you monster.
Surely by suppressing their own laws in order to avoid "bad publicity", they must obviously know that their policies are morally abhorrent; otherwise it would be business as usual.
I am boycotting watching the Olympics. But I hope that gay athletes attend. I would love it if one of the gold-medal winners announces he is gay publicly on the podium. The fact that the Russian competitors are beaten by a gay person who will undoubtedly be applauded by the international community will be a great smack to Putin's rhetoric and will hopefully make a subtle change to attitudes
A blind eye will be turned when the Olympics are in town, but when the Olympics are over, the gloves are going to come off.
Halted and deferred, not stopped. Get this girl out of the country before the Olympics end.
The notion that Russian authorities would be confused about what to do when it's a child breaking these laws is nonsense, they deem all LGBT people to be sub-Human, no matter the age, gender, sexuality or nationality…
They would have no problem at all throwing this girl into one of the Gulags, because they really are that ignorant, disgusting and hateful.
These are religious ultra-nationalist fascist freaks we're talking about here, not rational Human beings.
Well done for her staying strong through this. It seems she's far more intelligent than the average knuckle-dragging Russian, so here's hoping she continues to become a symbol and has the chance to further the cause for all of her peers.
And, off topic but needs to be said, PN PLEASE quit with the damned gigantic adverts! Every time my mouse wanders accidentally my entire screen is filled with an ad that I have ALREADY SEEN 100 TIMES!
Ads are important, I get that, but there is a fine line between promoting something for money and annoying your audience so much that they go elsewhere.

'Belle of Amherst' best when profiling Dickinson's poetry

She is also the hardest one to know. Harold Bloom once wrote that no poet "seems so separate from us as Dickinson," adding that "we have no accurate approaches to her." »Read Full Article

Hexavalent chromium is a key metal used by the military and the aerospace industry in order to prevent corrosion and resist wear. But the metal, a known human carcinogen, has come under increasing scrutiny due to its environmental and human health risks, with increasing restrictions. "These restrictions will continue to increase the regulatory burdens and life-cycle costs for DOD and decrease material availability," wrote DOD Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology & Logistics John J. Young Jr., in an April 8 memo to the military service secretaries. Young also stated that there are replacements for many of DOD's current applications.

Reviews for Crayons to Classrooms
A fabulous resource for myself, my students, and my school. I was able to add so many resources to my classroom that I would not have been able to without them!
What a great resource. I have used their service and found it to be very beneficial. It is simply too expensive for teachers to supply school supplies to their students. This program really fills in the gap.
Crayons to Classrooms has helped me many times to provide the classroom essentials to my students who otherwise would not have had what they needed to be successful. The workers and volunteers are friendly and extremely helpful. THANK YOU to all the organization and people who make this an option for teachers. Your service saves us time, frustration and out of pocket money! S. Fitzgerald MVA
Crayons to Classrooms has a become a trusted and valued staple to teachers in the Dayton area. They make it possible for lots of kids to get supplies that they need, but otherwise can't buy themselves. Thanks to C2C and all of their donors for this much-needed support!
Crayons to Classroom is a great asset to our school district and community. They provide a venue to assists teachers with various items to enrich their classroom environment, and incentives for students. The facility is well organized , and staffed with cheerful volunteers. I hope that they are able to continue their services for many years to come.
The supplies and resources that that C2C gives to teachers and staff are greatly appreciated and necessary. Thank you for all that you do!
I am very grateful to Crayons To Classrooms! As an urban educator my students often times do not have the basic needs to be successful in school. I am able to select quality items that my students need without spending my personal money. Additionally, students appreciate having new items that are provided by this organization.
Crayons To Classrooms provides teachers with school supplies at no cost. These supplies are a blessing to my students whose parents can not afford to buy school supplies for them. They are a blessing to me as well since it helps me keep my students in the supplies they need to be successful in the classroom. I appreciate all they do for students across the area.
Crayons2Classrooms has been an invaluable resource for materials for my classroom. Not only student supplies, but clothes for the students, decorations for the holidays, and teacher resources that have increased my ability to assist my students with special needs in making gains toward mastering their IEP goals and objectives. The students are always excited to see and use the new materials when they come into the classroom.
What a wonderful place to "Shop"!
Crayons to Classrooms has been a fabulous support program for our school. They have provided supplies to our students that would not otherwise have been available due to cost.
Each year we have the opportunity to shop twice, once in the fall and again in the spring. They are always so accommodating and friendly and willing to help the school in any way possible.

Nicotine is a highly addictive stimulant found in tobacco that is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream when smoked.
What It Does:
Nicotine is as addictive as heroin or cocaine, which makes it extremely difficult to quit. Those who start smoking before the age of 21 have the hardest time breaking the habit.
Physical effects of nicotine use include rapid heartbeat, increased blood pressure, shortness of breath, and a greater likelihood of colds and flu.
Users have an increased risk for lung diseases like lung cancer, heart disease, and stroke. They may have bad breath and yellowed teeth, and are more likely to get cancers of the mouth and neck.
Withdrawal symptoms of nicotine include anxiety, anger, restlessness, and insomnia.

Churchill Staffordshire England Blue Willow Coupe Cereal Bowl Set
Vintage Churchill Staffordshire England Blue Willow Coupe Cereal Bowl, Set of Four. This pattern was made in 1989 and features the long favorite Blue Willow pattern and tells the story of two lovers. As the story goes, there was once a Mandarin who had a beautiful daughter, Koong-se. He employed a secretary, Chang who, while he was attending to his master's accounts, fell in love with Koong-se, much to the anger of the Mandarin, who regarded the secretary as unworthy of his daughter.The secretary was banished and a fence constructed around the gardens of the Mandarin's estate so that Chang could not see his daughter and Koong-se could only walk in the gardens and to the water's edge. One day a shell fitted with sails containing a poem, and a bead which Koong-se had given to Chang, floated to the water's edge. Koong-se knew that her lover was not far away. She was soon dismayed to learn that she had been betrothed to Ta-jin, a noble warrior Duke. She was full of despair when it was announced that her future husband, the noble Duke, was arriving, bearing a gift of jewels to celebrate his betrothal. However, after the banquet, borrowing the robes of a servant, Chang passed through the guests unseen and came to Koong-se's room. They embraced and vowed to run away together. The Mandarin, the Duke, the guests, and all the servants had drunk so much wine that the couple almost got away without detection, but Koong-se's father saw her at the last minute and gave chase across the bridge.The couple escaped and stayed with the maid that Koong-se's father had dismissed for conspiring with the lovers. Koong-se had given the casket of jewels to Chang and the Mandarin, who was also a magistrate, swore that he would use the jewels as a pretext to execute Chang when he caught him. One night the Mandarin's spies reported that a man was hiding in a house by the river and the Mandarin's guards raided the house. But Chang had jumped into the ragging torrent and Koong-se thought that he had drowned.Some days later the guards returned to search the house again. While Koong-se's maid talked to them, Chang came by boat to the window and took Koong-se away to safety. They settled on a distant island, and over the years Chang became famous for his writings. This was to prove his undoing. The Mandarin heard about him and sent guards to destroy him. Chang was put to the sword and Koong-se set fire to the house while she was still inside.Thus they both perished and the gods, touched by their love, immortalized them as two doves, eternally flying together in the sky.These bowls are the harder to find coupe style, they are 6" across and 1 3/4" deep.

Wednesday, May 7, 2014
The St. Andrews Public Service District (PSD) Commissioners in Charleston County voted unanimously to approve a proposal to implement a Crash Tax. The Motor Vehicle Service Fee ordinance would charge out-of-area travelers involved in accidents a fee when the Public Service District (PSD) is called upon to respond. The following statement can be attributed to Jeff Griffith who serves as local counsel for the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI) and was at the meeting.
The vote tonight is a setback for motorists throughout the Charleston area. While we understand budgets are tight and local officials are looking for ways to increase revenue without increasing taxes, charging for emergency services is not the right approach. The residents of South Carolina already pay taxes and should not be charged a separate hidden fee costing anywhere from $300 to $1,000.
Generally accident response fees are not covered by auto insurance policies as they do not fit under the standard definition of either property damage or bodily injury coverage. If insurers are forced to pay these fees, insurance premiums could have significant increases that harm consumers.
PCI will continue to work with South Carolina lawmakers to support legislation that prohibits municipalities from charging this fee. There are currently 12 states that have passed bans and limitations to prevent local governments from imposing this additional tax.

"The semester here ended January 20th, and his teachers all gave him his final a couple of weeks early, so they graduated him a couple of weeks early, " said his father Erik Powell. "He enrolled early but missed a couple of weeks down there at BYU."
Sawyer now lives in the dorms on campus with two roommates.
"He's in the dorms right now and he's rooming with Colby [Jorgensen], but Colby goes home a lot right there in town, so he doesn't see much of Colby. He's roommates with Colby and Austin Heder."
So far, Sawyer is reportedly having a good college experience, and has even gone on a couple of dates.
"Yeah, I think he's have a good time down there," said Erik with a laugh. "Going into this semester everyone has kind of already made their friends and stuff like that. He's a little bit of a quiet boy, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's been kind of getting out of himself a little to make friends.
"Here in the Tri-Cities area, the population of LDS is okay, but obviously there are a lot more opportunities down at the Y. I think he's having a really good time. I don't worry about him down there at all, and he says he's having a lot of fun."
In fact, when Sawyer got on campus, a lot of the players on the team took him in as one of their own right away.
"Sawyer told me that the guy on the team are really cool," said his happy father. "They've all basically tried to make him feel comfortable and have been checking in on him asking him how he's doing. They've been asking him about him to make sure he's doing well and taken care off. He just said how cool that was."
In this day and age, where freshmen aren't treated with the same kind of respect and acceptance as others, and more like an outsider than part of a college program, Erik is happy and comforted by the fact that his son is being taken care of by the members of the team.
"Yeah, it's really cool actually," said Erik. "That's one of my biggest fears. You know, football players are tough guys and sometimes they can have attitudes. He's had nothing but great things to say. It's put my mind at ease about that stuff, knowing those on the team are looking out after him."
Early enrollment now means Sawyer can work out with the underclassman players in the program.
"He's has 12 and a half credits of school right now," Erik said. "He's been working out in the morning with the underclassmen Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Then on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, he does sprint-type workouts with the team, and so he's been doing that."
As one who is accustomed to working out, Sawyer met with and spoke to some of the gym rats at BYU.
"He's even talked to some of the older guys on the team like Kyle Van Noy, Spencer Hadley and Brandon Ogletree," Erik said. "He's talked with all those guys and they've been really cool to him."
More than likely a future linebacker, Sawyer has been working to put more weight on his 205-pound frame.
"Yeah, Kyle Van Noy even asked him how much he weighed, and getting bigger is something that Sawyer is working on. But after Sawyer told him how much he weighed, Kyle sort of laughed and said, 'You've got some work cut out for you.'"
Sawyer will eventually leave to serve a mission.
"The plan is to be there for spring football and for him to stay up there before he serves his mission," said Erik. "I think he'll be there for spring and we're going to do what we can to keep him up there all summer long, then in the fall … he'll be leaving."

The correct icon look is already (!!) implemented in menu point: "Applications" > "Add/Remove Software" The icon also shows an open box which, however, fits the "Bluecurve" theme prefectly, and which - thanks to "Bluecurve"'s "cartoonish" (and lately criticized) appearance - is well recognizable even at the small icon sizes available in the panel. I suggest to derive the updater notification icon from the latter, as "Bluecurve" is the default theme. In case that a new Fedora icon theme is planned, the current notification icon can be added to that. However, as said it's simply incompatible with "Bluecurve".

They offer sets that are less than the complete kit, which includes some of their best selling brushes. All in all, these are the best brushes you will own - guaranteed.

This day has been a long time coming for US Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Collins and his family.
"Being away from home is always difficult," said Collins.
Difficult and trying.
"This is my fourth deployment, so they're kind of used to it." said Collins. "But each time's been a little different and each time's been difficult for all of us."
Collins is back home after three years of deployment in Afghanistan, for good.
"This is my second one back from Afghanistan in a month," said Collins.
Anticipation and excitement.
"Daddy!" said daughters.
Passing the tests of patience and hardship.
"I was really surprised and I was filled with joy and happiness," said Brianna.
"I was so surprised!" said daughter Emily.
It's a battle fought and won for the Collins family. Home at last. The Collins family said they're most looking forward to the simple things because that's what they missed most.

50%? Not surprising.
As I guessed, you are really on edge, or overly anxious/worried. There are reasons for that.
Are you desperate?
Back to 111 soon. 35% upside according to the analysts, but not you who thinks VMW is junk.
Shorts are on edge.
everyone, please listen to a person who thinks vmw is junk.
then it is a long term long stockthe end of the storywhy bother? emc will pick up cheaper shares any way.
many shorts lost their shorts on vmw
EMC made tens of millions from that dip.
scarry for shortiesthat's why they are begging others to sell at the currently discounted price

As Libyan rebels are pushed back by the forces of the mad Col. Moammar Gadhafi, we're all rooting for the underdog.
Even though we know little about the rebels and their leaders, we assume they'd be an improvement over the crazed colonel. But that emotional tug doesn't justify the proposal by three influential senators - Republicans Mitch McConnell and John McCain, and Democrat John Kerry - that we set up a no-fly zone over Libya to prevent Gadhafi from bombing his own people.
As the Pentagon (which opposes the idea) knows too well, our military is still deeply enmeshed in Afghanistan, hasn't yet left Iraq - and has Special Forces in Yemen. We can't afford to become involved in another war in another Muslim land.

Holy Crap! Another Film Festival!
It's strange that in over a decade at Ain't It Cool, I never made it to Austin for SXSW, the music and film culture that's become one of the spring's biggest cultural happenings each year now.
That changes starting today. Yesterday, I flew to Austin, where my good friend Aaron picked me up at the airport. We rushed to a press screening of "Duplicity" that Harry had mentioned to me (it's pretty good), and then spent the rest of the day getting ready for the onslaught ahead. I also had a treatment to polish, more transcription to do for articles I'll be publishing all weekend here at the site, and we managed to sneak out for barbecue at the Salt Lick with a whole fistful of friends including Capone and Quint from Ain't It Cool, Paul Rudd, and writer/director John Hamburg, who are both in town for tonight's opening night screening of "I Love You, Man."
I can already tell that it's going to be a busy festival, but I'm going to try to cover this one with more urgency than I did at Sundance. Having Dan and Greg both there with me this year, we were able to all handle some of the coverage. This time, it's all me, and I'll be doing my best to stay current as we go. That may mean some sort reactions to films now and full reviews later. It may mean some interview pieces. But I'll do my best to make sure there's always something new up for you as the festival progresses.
I'm not sure if we'll have time for the Morning Read every day, but we may try to fit in one or two during the fest. For now, I'll just recommend that you go read Roger Ebert's wonderful contemplation about the difference between "sexual" and "erotic" in film imagery. As always, his commenters are half the fun.
If you're here at SXSW and you want to get in touch, try me at email@example.com or on my cell phone. 323-788-4068. If you've got a film here you want me to see, let me know, and if I write something about your film and you feel like talking about it, call me for that, too.
It should be a fun and crazy week ahead. Stay tuned.

Reading & Writing CSV with Python
CSV files are quite common these days owing to the fact that CSV files are simple text and make data transfer between different systems very easy. CSV stands for Comma Separated Values, i.e. the fields are separated by comma, so there exists similar formats where the separator is a different character like tab, or semi-colon. We have seen working with CSV in Perl & PHP, so why not in Python.
Python 2.4 onwards CSV reading and writing was made easier by inclusion on an in-built module csv, the module has reader & writer objects for reading & writing CSV files respectively.
Now, let's get our hands dirty with some code.
Reading CSV Files
First let's look at a very basic example, which will read a CSV file and print out the fields:
Code: Python
Now, let us look at a scenario where the delimiter is : instead of comma, a good example of such a file is /etc/passwd:
Code: Python
Quoting is required when any field value contains the delimiter character, we'll look at it in the next section.
Writing CSV Files
A writing example:
Code: Python
Here's the output:
As you can see the field value that contained a [B],[B] was quoted automatically.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on June 27, 2014.
Sam Haginas & Beau Haginas
Project by
Sam Haginas & Beau Haginas
First created | 1 backed
Transform any TV into an intelligent interactive display, bringing the functionality of your PC and mobile devices to the Big Screen.
This project's funding goal was not reached on June 27, 2014.
First created | 1 backed
The TVPRO is the first patent pending interactive media player that has a Full 1080p HD webcam. It transforms any TV into a "Beyond Smart" TV that can now provide the same experience we enjoy from our computers and mobile devices every day. Any TV can now become an intelligent, interactive portal to entertain and communicate with the world.
The TVPRO has a quad core processor which provides a desktop quality experience and is powered by Android giving you access to over a million apps, movies, TV shows, music and more through the Google Play Store. This along with full internet browsing capabilities provides limitless entertainment options, but the key feature is the 1080p HD webcam, bringing live video communication to the living room, forever changing how we use the TV.
We started 18 months ago with the mission of making our passion for Health and Wellness a way of life that can be accessible and enjoyed by all. Seeing live video communication as the technology that has the power to achieve this, we wanted to create an environment that would emulate the motivation, excitement and accountability of an in person session.
Our goal was to provide an immersive, interactive experience with top professionals bringing the best training and guidance to the big screen. This concept is the basis for Reshape, our patent pending online video training platform that will soon be bringing the top health and wellness professionals Live to your TV through the TVPRO.
We quickly discovered that bringing Reshape to the TV was not going to be an easy task as a universal solution to provide live video communications to the TV did not exist. The only viable option was to connect a laptop and webcam to use the TV as a monitor, which was not an efficient process. Knowing that Reshape professionals training live on the TV would be the key to make a lasting impact, we decided to invest in creating the solution.
Our goal was to simply bring the interactive, user-friendly experience of our computers and mobile devices to the TV. After a long collaboration with our dedicated and hardworking team, we were able to create an all-in-one technology solution that has the power to change the way people communicate through the TV.
In addition to training and learning from a top professional LIVE in your living room, you can now Skype with family or Hangout with friends all on the big screen.
While the TVPRO was created as a means to bring the Reshape Platform to the TV, the end result is a combination of technologies aligning to make live video communication and entertainment a simple, effective experience on the TV. The TVPRO has the potential to connect us in ways we never expected to achieve things we never thought possible.
TVPRO Dual Microphones enable Google Voice Search features.
The 2.4 gHz dual-sided full keyboard air mouse remote is a universal controller that makes the TVPRO a turnkey solution. With a full keyboard and TV control IR learning, the air mouse is designed to be a functional remote providing a seamless and easy experience. Having a high quality air mouse remote with these features was essential in making this an intuitive interface for all users to control the TV just like a computer.
In searching for a hardware solution to bring Reshape to the TV, we tested everything available. This led us to find one of the first HDMI stick media PC's with a 2MP camera at CES in January 2013. Aside from its limitations from a hardware and configuration perspective, it showed promise that this technology could be the answer. We began to search for the right team to take the next steps. With the help of relationships from previous LED product manufacturing, we were able to find an engineering and manufacturing partner that not only specialized in media streaming devices, but also shared our vision that this technology has the potential to make a huge impact, changing the way people learn and communicate.
When we began working together, our engineering team had also seen the limitations of the earlier devices and was already in the process of developing one of the first top mounted media devices with a webcam. This was the first generation device that we began testing and integrating with the Reshape platform. During months of refining this device, we were able to identify and correct issues to reach a very stable Android 4.2.2 platform and also learned critical improvements to enhance the webcam experience that helped us moving forward.
While this device was very impressive and a great innovation, the dual-core processor and SD camera were not able to deliver the desktop quality experience with HD video communications that we desired for Reshape. We needed a hardware combination that was powerful enough to run the TV with the same responsiveness of a high end tablet and have an HD camera to provide the video quality that we have come to expect from today's top webcams.
To achieve this level of performance, we concluded that the next generation device needed to have a Quad Core processor and not just an HD webcam, but a Full 1080p HD webcam to provide the best experience possible. The biggest engineering challenge was fitting all of these components into a design that remained small and sleek to be aesthetically complimentary to any TV set. Our talented chief designer and engineering team put forward an amazing concept that included many innovative features which allow the TVPRO to be the dynamic solution for so many applications.
Innovative Features:
As our team has been working on the TVPRO for over 14 months, we are now in the final stages of development, putting us 5 - 7 weeks away from starting the production model. We have been able to optimize the processor and software to remove any heat dissipation concerns and are now working to enhance the integration of the updated HD video camera for seamless operation with the Reshape Android app and other popular video platforms.
We are a Miami Beach, FL based company with our engineering, design and manufacturing teams also located in California, Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China. Our production facilities in Shenzen are located within one of Foxconn's industrial parks, which is advantageous for sourcing high quality components. It is widely known that this is the epicenter of where the majority of our smartphones, tablets, computers and other devices are manufactured, and we are pleased to convey that level of transparency in the production of TVPRO.
Our excitement for the TVPRO is that it will make our vision of Reshape a reality for everyone to have access to learn and enjoy a life of health and wellness. Each TVPRO will come pre-loaded with the Reshape application, so you are just steps away from connecting with top professionals to do anything you choose right from your TV.
Everyone will now be able to enjoy the convenience and efficiency of training and learning from the privacy of their home. No judgments, no commute, no membership fees, just the freedom to choose the professional of their choice to achieve the goals they desire. The Reshape experience provides a level of excitement, accountability and personal interaction that is absent from all other models of in-home training today. We want people to get out of their comfort zone, without leaving their comfort zone, live through the TV.
Reshape professionals are the elite, fitness trainers, nutritionists, dieticians and life coaches that train celebrities, professional athletes and everyday people to share their passion for leading a life of health and wellness. In order to maintain this high standard, Reshape is a membership only platform, requiring professionals to meet certain criteria to ensure they are providing only the top level of knowledge and training in their specific field.
The Reshape platform is powered by Addlive, a global leader in webRTC video technology that provides a high quality dynamic service offering that was not possible with other video conferencing solutions before. This technology allows consumers to connect with a professional live in the following ways:
These different offerings enable a pricing model that is affordable for everyone to find a way to lead a life of health and wellness from top professionals that were not accessible before.
We have developed Reshape to work across all devices to create a platform that is approachable and accessible for anyone to use anytime, anywhere. Both our Android and iOS native mobile applications are in the final stages of development.
We have made it our mission to use this technology as a means for introducing people to a life of health and wellness by connecting them with professionals to get the right guidance, knowledge and motivation for a positive and permanent lifestyle change.
We truly believe that the combination of the TVPRO and the Reshape platform technology is just the beginning of what is possible through live video communications on the TV. The opportunities to bring education, training and teaching live to the big screen, along with the power of connecting people in a way never experienced, has applications to impact and enhance the lives of many.
We chose Kickstarter as it is an incredible platform to not only bring new innovations to market, but also to create great awareness in making this technology available to promote life improvement on a large scale.
With your backing and contribution we will:
RESHAPE & TVPRO new features:
We have been working on the TVPRO for 14 months and the Reshape platform for 18 months and both are being successfully beta tested as we are now working on final development steps and fine tuning for mass production and launch.
As the TVPRO is the first media streaming player to include a Full 1080p HD webcam, we believe based on the success of other media players with a limited OS and no option for live video communications, that this device will be attractive in the marketplace for a variety of uses. Additionally, the Reshape platform technology will be the first to bring live 2-way and multi-party video training to the TV, providing a live interaction as the new standard replacing recorded content which continues to struggle to provide lasting results. We have also taken the necessary steps to protect this IP as both the TV PRO and Reshape platform have patents and trademarks pending which we believe will prove to be a valuable asset for the company in the future.
We have already removed the more complicated aspects and unknowns of the projects through the work and investment we have put forward, but we remain cognizant that there will be more challenges and substantial work ahead, which we welcome. We are fortunate to have assembled an experienced team with a proven track record in product engineering, manufacturing, tele-medicine, ERP database solutions, marketing, finance and health and fitness to continue to innovate and navigate the obstacles ahead.
There is a great sense of purpose in our approach to this business in making this technology and opportunity for life improvement something that can be enjoyed by many. We will keep everyone frequently updated with our progress and promise to be absolutely transparent if any problems or delays are to occur from our current projections.
Again we cannot thank you enough for your support and what it potentially means for the people that we will connect and the lives we can enhance with the power of technology.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Brent Budowsky: isn't it amazing that Newt Gingrich's adultery seems to be a big plus with many conservatives, so long as he attacks CNN? Hypocrites!
Right-Wing Social Engineering: "Forced Divorce"
Carl Matthes: It came as no surprise to gay men and lesbians that if ultra-conservatives kept digging around in this year's barrel of Republican candidates, past Trump, Bachmann, Cain, Perry and even Gingrich, they would eventually reach Rick Santorum.
There Is a Sanity Clause
Jerry Drucker: The 14 GOP Governors, in lockstep and committing fraud, shouting they want to prevent fraud of maybe a few hundred fraudulent voters across the nation, by eliminating 5 million, poor, young, elderly, minority voters, requiring a poll tax, to have ID's, Birth Certificate or driver's license.
Top 10 Stories of 2011
The ten most read articles by LA Progressive's readers in 2011 reflect both the breadth of our coverage and also several special focuses.
"Facts Are Stupid Things"
Berry Craig: A lot of liberals think the nuttier these tea party-tilting Republicans talk, the more likely they are to turn off John and Jane Q. Public. I hope my fellow lefties are right.
Republicans Have a Gambling Problem
Tina Dupuy: When you double down – you lose twice as much – twice as quickly. And that sums up Speaker John Boehner's tenure just perfectly.
Ron Paul Should Apologize for Racist Comments, Rick Perry for Misusing Christianity
Brent Budowsky: I do not believe that Paul has a racist bone in his body, but I do believe he should apologize for what was written in a newsletter bearing his name and advancing his interests.
Perry Pandering
Carl Matthes: I understand that a remake of "Dumb and Dumber" ("Dumb and Dumber 2") is in the works. I suggest that the producers contact two governors of Texas who might be perfect for the starring roles!
Faith Pimps, Secular Conspiracies
Sikivu Hutchinson: This political season militant GOP appeals to white Christian evangelicals have veered into neo-Cold War hysteria.
The GOP Is Occupied with Amending the Constitution
Tina Dupuy: English author Samuel Johnson famously said patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. For Republicans, talking about amending the Constitution is the first defense against having actual policy discussions.
Fox News, the No Embarrassment Zone
Berry Craig: A fierce anti-intellectualism fires much of the Fox faithful. They're not troubled by the serial goofs and gaffes of GOP presidential hopefuls like Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann and Rick Perry.
GOP Debates: Shock and Aww Two More This Week!?
Tina Dupuy: You know what's never been said? "We should have MORE Republican primary debates." Why? Because there are (by my count) 734,589 debates this election cycle and not enough hours in the day (spent working harder for less money) to watch eight Republican candidates stand around agreeing with each other for two hours every night.
The GOP Campaign: It Would Be Funny If It Weren't So Serious
John Peeler: So now they're left with, of all people, Newt Gingrich! This man has so much baggage he needs a train to haul it.
