Sweet 16 Bracket: Updated Final 4 Picks Heading into Week 2 of NCAA TournamentMarch 26, 2014
You know the old saying about ties being like kissing your sister? Well, filling out a so-called "secondary" bracket after the first weekend of the NCAA tournament evokes a similar emotion.
As Shane Ryan and Spike Friedman pointed out over at Grantland this week, there's no real fun or worthwhile Sweet 16 pools on the market. While the duo go at length and find an admirable way to make the second weekend fun, the result is still a somewhat-complicated game that only the most hardcore and ridiculous college basketball fans (like me, and hopefully you) would go through.
Finding 20 or 50 people willing to make quarter-by-quarter picks is just a heck of a lot harder—especially if you're wagering firm handshakes or whatever people totally legally like putting on the line in March.
The great and underappreciated thing about the second weekend is that everyone's bracket is screwed; we're all in the same boat. Minus the couple of dudes (or ladies) who took one too many shots of tequila before filling out their bracket and somehow wound up hitting the Dayton-Stanford home run, Sunday concluded with yet another ritualistic tearing of the bracket and weeping into a pillow.
We were all Mercer Bears on Friday—except those of us whose weekends were ruined by having Duke in their Final Four.
But, alas, instead of setting ourselves up for another weekend of vast failure, let's instead go back to meat-and-potatoes prognostication. Meaning, let's take a look at these insane regions and try to make sense out of who will come out of them and reach the final weekend.
South Region: No. 1 Florida
This one hasn't changed since the beginning of the tournament, and nothing we've seen from the Gators makes this a bad play. After a bit of an understandable hiccup against No. 16 Albany in the round of 64, Billy Donovan's squad ratcheted up the intensity and throttled a Pittsburgh offense that had just a few days before been unstoppable against Colorado.
It's become a loser's gamble to bet against Dayton or Stanford, but I feel fully confident in the winner of UCLA-Florida coming out of the South. The Bruins were undervalued coming into the tournament themselves, with some (looking in the mirror) having them dumped to the side of the road against VCU in every bracket.
Instead, VCU was ousted by Stephen F. Austin on Friday, while UCLA has looked like the quintessential "peaking at the right time" team. Steve Alford has led his team to five straight wins, including a Pac-12 championship game triumph over Arizona that provides the most ammo for those taking the Bruins over their top-seeded opponent. Frankly, it's also been impressive to see UCLA thrive in consecutive contests where Kyle Anderson was only intermittently effective.
Jordan Adams has seemingly hit every shot he's taken for a couple weeks running, and Alford is seemingly over the tourney jitters that have been going on for a decade-plus. UCLA is a legitimate Final Four team if it can get past Florida—a mission that still seems improbable after a five-game winning streak.
The Gators are just appreciably better in nearly every facet of the game. Their ability to lock down on the inside—Florida ranks 11th in opponent two-point percentage this season—is going to make scoring difficult for a UCLA squad that loathes shooting from distance. Only three Bruins have taken more than 100 three-pointers, and they've taken only 27.4 percent of their attempts from distance.
That's not typically a problem when it comes to the NCAA tournament. "Live by the three, die by the three" is a paleozoic cliche, but none of the remaining teams rank any higher than 32nd in three-point attempt rate.
The issue here is figuring out where else UCLA is going to score. Florida doesn't foul at a high rate, is second in national defensive efficiency and plays an unrelenting style designed to grind opposing teams to a halt. The Bruins' biggest advantage is that they don't turn the ball over, but they don't defend consistently enough to give me faith they can hold Florida down long enough to take advantage of the extra possessions.
Either way, the winner of this matchup will walk to the Final Four.
East Region: No. 4 Michigan State
Again, I suspect we'll be seeing the true regional final in the Sweet 16.
Iowa State's chances of being this year's relative surprise Final Four team went down the drain with Georges Niang's season-ending foot fracture. North Carolina was the better team and outplayed the Cyclones in the round of 32 before a late hot streak sent Fred Hoiberg's team through.
Connecticut is mostly an enigma being led by Shabazz Napier's excellence and a relatively lucky draw against a flawed Villanova team.
Michigan State and Virginia, though, are no-questions-asked juggernauts. Any doubts about the Cavaliers' top-seed acumen after their opening scare against Coastal Carolina were assuaged by their utter thrashing of Memphis in the round of 32. Virginia—quiet, unassuming Virginia, the team probably selected least often among top seeds to reach the Final Four—is currently fourth in Ken Pomeroy's Pythagorean ratings.
Injuries play a factor here, and one rankings system does not define a matchup, but the Spartans are only the eighth-best team in Pomeroy's metric. They have a tendency to be uncharacteristically lazy on the defensive end, a trait you'd typically never ascribe to a Tom Izzo team. There is some noise in the numbers—just don't be surprised if Virginia makes this a far closer game than casual observers expect.
Michigan State is favored by two points as of Wednesday morning, per Vegas Insider, which feels about right. Those who questioned the effect a healthy Branden Dawson and Adreian Payne could have in sparking a tournament run quickly changed their minds last weekend. Payne scored a career-high 41 points against Delaware. Dawson followed him up with 26 of his own versus Harvard— also a career best.
Their re-entry back into the starting lineup has also given Izzo more of a comfortable rotation, featuring mostly six guys playing all the minutes. The five starters and Travis Trice were the only players to get more than 10 minutes against Harvard, as Matt Costello and Kenny Kaminski have been given less responsibility with Payne back.
Izzo's track record and the experience pervading through this roster makes Michigan State a slight favorite over Virginia—and therefore the top pick to come out of the East.
West Region: No. 1 Arizona
Of the Final Four picks we've discussed thus far, Arizona has the easiest road to the Elite Eight. San Diego State is a fine team, but its defense-oriented and undersized nature seems destined to be swallowed up by the lengthy and even more defensively minded Wildcats. Steve Fisher's squad has a chance if Xavier Thames goes off and Nick Johnson no-shows, but it's a natural end-of-the-road game.
When (OK, fine, if) Arizona reaches Saturday afternoon, the difficulty should ratchet up. Neither Wisconsin nor Baylor will be overwhelmed by the Wildcats' length, and they both have enough offensive firepower to be a real threat.
Baylor has been quite possibly the most impressive lowish-seeded team remaining. The Bears throttled two major-conference opponents in Nebraska and Creighton, the latter of which was a real surprise with Doug McDermott playing a prominent role. Mr. McBuckets was held to just 15 points, only three of which came in the first quarter, as Baylor keyed its entire zone around stopping the likely Naismith Trophy winner.
A shaky defensive team throughout the regular season, Baylor has shown vast improvement the last couple weeks. Isaiah Austin looks consistently engaged, and Scott Drew has length in the middle at all times to deter inside passing. If I'm Sean Miller, I'd be far less enthusiastic to see Baylor than Wisconsin—a team that was torched by Oregon before a late rally that helped them advance.
If you feel like taking a calculated risk here, go with Baylor. But the historical numbers are swayed heavily in Arizona's favor.
Since the advent of the 64-team format, only three No. 6 seeds have reached the Final Four. None of those teams have come since 1992. And even though Baylor has the potential to pull off history, Drew isn't exactly the coach I'd like to ride or die with when making a prediction.
Plus, one more thing: Arizona is really, really good. Brandon Ashley's season-ending injury cost the Wildcats depth, but their starting lineup can be put right next to Florida's for the best in the nation. Nick Johnson has played like the national player of the year finalist that he is, and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has stepped up to give great minutes off the bench.
What's more, Arizona's ability to take away the three gives it a major advantage over Wisconsin. Aaron Gordon and Kaleb Tarczewski won't be as affected by length as shorter players against the Baylor zone.
Midwest Region: No. 4 Louisville
My honest assessment of the Midwest: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
While Louisville is the mathematical favorite and probably the best overall team remaining in the region, you could talk me into buying any of the four remaining teams.
Kentucky was the top-ranked team in the country during the preseason. It just took down Wichita State in the best game of this year's tournament, played Florida within a point in the SEC championship game and already boasts a win over Louisville. That triumph was at home, sure, but there's no reason for the Wildcats to feel anything less than confident Friday night. They're coming into their own at the perfect time, and if you think Wichita State was a "weak" No. 1, your judgement is clouded by bias.
Michigan is the best offensive team remaining in the Dance, but it has won two wildly different games. Wofford held the Wolverines to just 57 points and throttled their offense in the second half. However, the Terriers managed only 40 points of their own against an unusual defensive muscle-flex from Michigan. A round later, Michigan scored 43 first-half points in a win over Texas. The Wolverines are still pretty wretched defensively—just not as much so as before.
Tennessee is, well, the enigma. It's the sixth-best team in the country, according to Pomeroy. It is not only the favorite to defeat Michigan, but it is also heavily favored over a Kentucky team that's already beat the Vols once this season. We'll just have to see if the Vols are actually for real or if their two-win run last week was merely a result of easiest schedule among Sweet 16 teams.
Then, Louisville. The most disrespected No. 4 seed in the country. The team that was dealt probably the most talented No. 13 seed in Manhattan. The team with another national player of the year contender in Russ Smith, a three-point gunner in Luke Hancock and a raw piece of 6'8" potential in Montrezl Harrell, finally finding his footing on the national stage.
The Cardinals may be the worst seeding decision in the modern history of the NCAA tournament. They're elite on both ends of the floor and play a nightmarish style that makes them perfect for deep one-off run in the Dance.
When it comes to picking a Final Four team from this region, there are any number of reasons to pick all four teams. But when it comes to pressing the final button, Louisville's matchup hell makes it the odds-on favorite.

BKW fifth-graders to be published authors
By Tyler Schuling
BERNE When you have something to say, the world should hear about it. Writing isn't easy and it doesn't happen only when you're sitting in a classroom.
Agnes Zellin, a fifth-grade English teacher at Berne-Knox-Westerlo, strives to instill these lessons in her students.
"From the first day that I have my kids in my classroom, I try to communicate to them that what they have to say is important," said Zellin.
Thirteen of Zellin's students will soon have their essays published in Creative Communications' "Celebrating What Is Important to Me," an anthology of student writing.
Each year, Creative Communications sponsors writing contests for students throughout the United States and Canada. This year's essay contest was open to students from fourth-graders to seniors in high school. The students' essays were to be no longer than 250 words and they had to have an original title.
In her fifth year of teaching, Zellin is, for the first time, teaching language arts to fifth-graders. She got the idea to have her students write for the publication from Jodi Rosenberg, a sixth-grade teacher at Bethlehem Middle School.
"I had no idea so many were going to be picked," Zellin said. "This is the first year I became aware of it, and it's the first year that I ever…took my kids' work and put it out there beyond the school and I can't imagine not doing it from here on in. The minute I told the kids there was a chance of them being published their attitude changed about writing."
The students chose a variety of topics humans' relationships to animals and nature, cheerleading, rock collecting, competition in sports, and disconcerting findings in the fashion industry and in fifth-grade test scores. Some put hard questions to the reader.
"When we were only 4 and 5 years old, boys and girls played together in T-ball but as soon as we were 6 or 7 we split. Why?" asked Jessica Rue in her essay "Softball…Why Only a Girl's Sport?"
Thomas Fisher wrote about fifth-grade math and English test scores.
He asked, "Do you think teachers are preparing us for all of these tests?"
Fisher said he found the results "very disappointing."
"I can do that, too"
Earlier this year, Zellin saw that some of her students' ideas disappeared as they got hung up with spelling and grammar. Some of them thought they weren't good writers because writing didn't seem easy. She told her students that even the most accomplished writers struggle.
Zellin, who enjoys reading historical fiction, poetry, and editorials, encourages her students to read. Her students keep notebooks where they write about experiences that matter to them and paste clippings they find interesting or beautifully written. Zellin shares her own writing with her students and shows them essays written by their peers.
"I actually started to use essays in the book as samples of what other fifth-graders can do because that's the other key thing," Zellin said. "If you show these kids what other kids just like them can write and how they can write, then that gives them another push to say, 'Yeah, I can do that, too. Oh, I can do that.' And then they hang in there and they try a little harder."
Zellin finds it challenging to juggle and balance between helping her students become more skilled at using language but also not letting language get in the way of their ideas.
"I don't ever feel like I've done a very good job of it, but the kids are so much better. I mean, they're great thinkers. You can see that," she said. "They have things they care about in the world. And I always tell them, 'You're not writing for me. You're writing for a bigger world out there a bigger audience and you have to decide what you want to tell that world.' And that kind of, I think, helped some of these kids be more free about what they chose and more enthusiastic about what they were writing about."
The writing process
The students' essays are as diverse as their backgrounds and interests. Last week, they outlined how they chose what they wrote, difficulties in the writing process, how they overcame their troubles, and how they feel about having their work published. Some did not like the 250-word limit. Others found it was difficult to start or to choose a topic.
Some have older siblings who have already been published. And, for one of the students Nick Nagengast this marks the second time his words have been in print.
Joseph Anthony Collorafi said he got the idea for his essay "Rock Collecting Getting Started and How" because he has a rock collection and he wanted to let people know how fun it is and to give them tips on how to organize everything and how to get started.
Last summer, Collorafi vacationed in Florida.
"I didn't find any rocks there, unfortunately. I do find some pretty interesting ones around here. My dad brought some back from Iraq," he said.
McKenzie Smith said, "I'm really into the fashion industry and things like that, and I was just looking through my magazines and I realized how unhealthy and gross-looking the models looked. It was really gross."
Samantha Flavell read Hope Rising: Stories from the Ranch of Rescued Dreams by Kim Meeder and wrote her essay about her thoughts on the book. She said, "I'm a soccer player so I was going to do my essay about soccer. But then I told Ms. Zellin about the book I read and she thought it would be a good idea to write an essay about it so that's what I did."
The book tells the true story of a ranch for mistreated children who heal as they work with broken horses.
Flavell started thinking about things in the book, researched rehabilitation, and got information from the ranch's website.
Flavell has also written and illustrated a book about Christmas Eve that Zellin is trying to get published.
Anita Rice said, "My essay was on polar bears because I was really interested in how they're dying and what's happening to them."
Rice watched Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, and cited the film in her essay.
Jessica Rue said, "I wrote about softball and I got the idea because I am a softball player. And I used to play T-ball when I was younger…Then when we got up to 6 or 7 years old, we had to split into Little League and softball, and I just didn't really understand why."
She did research on the Internet to find facts.
"There's a lot of different things about the two games, but they're mostly the same," she said.
Rue said she still doesn't understand why boys and girls can't play the game together.

Britney Spears tested free of illegal drugs and alcohol during her two-night stay at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a reliable source tells PEOPLE.
"She tested clean," the source says. "This lady is as clean as clean can be, and has been for some time."
The source adds the pop star never threatened suicide during the four-hour standoff at her Studio City home Jan. 3, saying such rumors were "bull----."
Spears, 26, was hospitalized early the morning of Jan. 4 under California's "5150 Hold," in which she was deemed a danger to herself or others and could be held for 72 hours for evaluation. Based on officers' observations at the scene, police said she appeared to be "under the influence of an unknown substance."
Two separate sources who are acquaintances of the family tell PEOPLE they believe the singer has an undiagnosed bipolar disorder. One of those sources says Spears has "suffered from a psychological disease for years."
Spears left the hospital on Saturday, well before the 72 hours. Patients can be released early if doctors determine they no longer require treatment or evaluation.
"The 5150 legality is very loose," says Dr. Nathan Kuemmerle, a West Hollywood psychiatrist. "The 72 hours are not firm. All it requires is an ER psychiatrist to release the patient. ... If Britney isn't suicidal or homicidal, she doesn't need to be hospitalized."

Researchers from the IPH research institute and the Laser Zentrum (LZH), both located in Hannover, Germany, are developing a system that allows conclusions as to the efficiency of engines and generators. The efficiency of these systems can be measured by determining torque and shaft position. An example: If the driver of a car is pushing the accelerator pedal too rigidly, the wheels get spinning - the power of the engine is no longer transformed in thrust, the torque at the wheels falls down to almost zero. If the torque is measured constantly and the signal is processed in a feed-back loop to the engine control unit, it is possible to automatically reduce the torque slightly and keep the wheels from spinning. In motor sport, such as system is called launch control.
In wind turbines, the torque is zero if the rotor blades are standing still. If the wind pick up suddenly and a wind gust starts turning the wind turbine, the torque is rising quickly and strongly. Such a sudden increase of torque can damage the generator. The efficiency of the system is the highest if the torque applied is rather even. Permanently measuring and controlling can achieve through such an even torque. While systems to measure torque such as encoder disks or strain sensors are available, all these sensors have a major drawback: They need to be attached mechanically to the shaft, occupying valuable installation space. Non-contact measurement systems based on magnetic principles are very costly.
Therefore, the Hannover scientists are developing an optical system that works without mechanical contact and therefore does not need to be attached to the shaft. Thus, it also will be possible to be retrofitted to existing systems. The goal is to achieve a significantly higher resolution that existing systems while at the same time reducing its weight and size. One application where this would offer an advantage is motor sports where every gram counts.
The principle of the IntegrAD (Integrated optical absolute-value encoder and torque analyser) is rather simple: The shaft is encoded with optical absolute markers through a laser beam which creates very tiny and exact code lines. In the transmission, LEDs and photo diodes scan these codes. If a torque is applied to the shaft, it creates torsion - the shaft becomes somewhat twisted. The torsion can be measured through the absolute scale. Since the laser markings feature a very high resolution, it is possible to determine even very small changes, enabling the system to determine position and torque of the shaft in real-time and to forward these data to the engine control system.

Bandwidth enhancements have been one of the important but tricky niche areas for antennas researchers. There are a bountiful amount of ideas and techniques to accomplish and tackle the problem involved. A creative technique has been explored in enhancing the bandwidth of a rectangular patch antenna by introducing a radial Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structure between a narrowband patch antenna and its ground plane. An increment of up to 8% BW has been realized and achieved. This paper present the methodology, simulations and experimental works carried out in accomplishing the objective above. Microwave Office 2006 software has been used to initially simulate and find the optimum design and results.

Nine years ago today, Beyoncé married her longtime love Jay-Z.
The famously private couple didn't sell any photos to a magazine, and because it was the pre-social media age, they didn't share any online, either. On the couple's anniversary, Tina Lawson shared a never-before-seen wedding photo. "9 years already??? Congratulations to the Carters on their Anniversary," she wrote on Instagram. "thats my arm fixing the dress lol."
Given the text treatment, the photo appears to be from Beyoncé's official website—leading some fans to wonder whether the musician is planning to release more images at a later time.
Lawson designed Beyoncé's wedding gown—which, in hindsight, might not have been the best idea. "She was so sweet to let me do that," Lawson said on Today in June 2016. "She came back later one day and she said, 'You know, when my daughter gets married, I'm going to let her pick out her own dress.' Maybe she wasn't so excited about it at the time, but she's a sweetheart."
Beyoncé first gave fans a glimpse of her wedding dress when she tried it on in her "I Was Here" music video, released in 2011. While performing "Young Forever" during their On the Run Tour in 2014, video footage played on a giant screen, which showed the A-list couple swapping vows.
The diva's dress was also featured in her 2016 music video for "All Night."
When the couple tied the knot nine years ago, they exchanged vows in front of 40 family members and friends who gathered at the groom's 13,500-sq.-ft. penthouse in New York City. Beyoncé, then 26, and Jay Z, then 38, kept their reception going until 5 a.m. the next morning.
That same year, Beyoncé explained why she and Jay Z prefer to keep the details of their private lives private. "We decide everything. My word is my word. What Jay and I have is real," the "Hold Up" singer told Essence. "It's not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It's real."

Welcome Back, 1970sNews at Home
"Gossip Girl" made me think more generally about what had happened to this country between the time I entered the rabbit hole that is graduate school in the humanities in 1992 and the time I began my career as a professor in earnest. In the 1990s while dot.com entrepreneurs were making billions and others watched the values of their homes double, triple, and quadruple, I lived in low-grade poverty as I worked toward the Ph.D. As I looked around it seemed that the values of commerce had so resoundingly trounced civic virtue. How did we get here? I came of age in a different world. In the fall of 1979 when I entered high school, the country was in the midst of the second oil crisis of the decade, the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, and Islamist students took fifty-two Americans hostage from the US embassy in Teheran. The economy, which from 1945 until 1971 had created a heyday for the working class, was now mired in stagflation. Growth in middle class income ground to a halt. President Jimmy Carter tried to set a new tone. On inauguration day, instead of being driven from the Capitol to the White House, he walked. In 1979, when lines for gas snaked for miles, he gave a national address, denouncing "self-indulgence and consumption." To Carter the energy crisis provided an opportunity to revisit core values and rekindle humility. The mood of the country darkened. After the chaos of the 1960s, defeat in Vietnam, and Watergate, the nation's best days seemed spent.
Yet despite the loss of prosperity and promise, the disco decade also witnessed a remarkable openness. Culture reflects society and, in turn, influences it. In these years, new ideas, ethnicities, and values found representation on the small screen, and plot lines regularly and openly addressed gender, class, and race. In the wake of the women's movement the three major broadcast networks hosted series devoted to self-identified feminists ("Maude"), reluctant feminists ("Bionic Woman"), implied feminists ("Police Woman"), superhero feminists ("Wonder Woman"), as well as to plucky single women pursuing careers ("The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Rhoda"). By 1970 most states had adopted no-fault divorce laws, so TV families now featured single moms ("Alice," "One Day At A Time," "The Partridge Family"), single dads ("Eight Is Enough," "Hello Larry"), and combined households ("The Brady Bunch," "Diff'rent Strokes").
Before the consolidation of media and fragmentation of audience that came with cable, network tv reflected the decade's embrace of diversity with a wide array of genres, including variety shows ("Sonny and Cher," "Donny and Marie," "The Carol Burnett Show," "The Flip Wilson Show"), horror ("Ghost Story," "Kolchak the Night Stalker," "Night Gallery"), and a golden age for sci-fi ("Logan's Run," "Battlestar Galactica"). It also expanded beyond the typical white family that had dominated tv since the 1950s, with multicultural casts featuring African Americans from the working class ("Good Times," "What's Happening," "Sanford and Son") and middle class ("The Jeffersons," "Benson," "Room 222"), Latinos ("Chico and the Man," "Tony Orlando and Dawn"), Greeks ("Kojak"), Italians ("Beretta"), Polish ("Banecek"), and Latvian ("Taxi"). Shows were set not just in glamorous locales like New York, LA, or Miami, but in Portland, Oregon ("Hello Larry"), Rustbelt Cities in Ohio ("WKRP in Cincinnati") and Wisconsin ("Happy Days"). The rise of the Sunbelt is reflected in shows based in Texas ("Dallas"), Georgia ("Dukes of Hazzard"), Missouri ("Lucas Tanner"), the Wyoming Territory ("Alias and Smith and Jones"), and rural Colorado ("Doc Elliot"). Some of the shows took place outside of the U.S., in places like the United Kingdom ("Blakes 7"), Korea ("M*A*S*H"), Kenya ("Born Free"), the Pacific Rim ("Fantasy Island"), a cruise ship ("The Love Boat"), a pink submarine ("Operation Petticoat"), Siam ("Anna and the King"), an interstellar garbage scow ("Quark"), and a parallel universe ("Land of the Lost"). Other time periods were featured: the antebellum South ("Roots"), the 1860s ("Anna and the King"), 1870s ("Barbary Coast"), 1930s ("City of Angels"), 1940s ("Baa Baa Blacksheep"), the future ("Buck Rogers in the 25th Century"), and post-apocalypse ("Logan's Run").
At a time when unemployment rates reached the highest peak (9%) since World War II, television characters regularly discussed the strain of finances and appreciated life's simple pleasures. Two of the most popular dramas showcased traditional families during desperate times. Each week John Boy, Mary Ellen, and the rest of the brood in Depression-era rural Virginia ("The Waltons"), learn yet another lesson about how to do without, all the while remaining grateful, generous, and industrious. Similarly, the Ingalls family roughs it out on the Kansas Plains of the Indian Territory ("Little House on the Prairie"), battling wolves, fires, hailstorms, blizzards, typhus, and bratty Nellie Oleson, daughter of the well-off local mercantile. The Waltons and Ingalls endure their hardships with the support of their communities. A variety of jobs—not just lawyers, doctors, or crime fighters–were on display, including song writers ("Getting Together"), airline stewardesses ("From A Bird's Eye View"), anthropology professor ("The Jimmy Stewart Show"), mystery writer ("Ellery Queen"), trucker ("BJ and the Bear"), stage illusionist ("The Magician"), angel ("Out of the Blue"), Harvard Law School students ("The Paper Chase"), witch ("Tabitha"), auto mechanics ("Chico and the Man"), assembly line workers at a brewery ("Laverne and Shirley"), and a nineteenth century Shaolin monk ("Kung Fu").
Years before Reagan-era cuts in social services, accompanied as it was by skyrocketing rates of incarceration, the prison-industrial complex, disappearance of living-wage jobs, and demonization of American citizens on welfare, being an ex-con or food stamp recipient on 1970s' TV was not a stigma but a badge of honor, as the ethos of the downtrodden was contrasted favorably with the corruption of the mafioso, police, and "the man." Despite receiving government assistance, Florida and James Evans instill sound values in their children while living in the Chicago projects ("Good Times"), three young African American men create comedic chaos in the L.A. ghetto ("What's Happening"), black detectives proudly protect ghetto inhabitants ("Shaft," "Tenafly"), and juvenile delinquents and ex-cons outperform regular cops ("Mod Squad," "Rockford Files," "Return of the Saint," "Sword of Justice," "Alias Smith and Jones"). Catch words that became fads were voiced by outsiders, whether it was an auto mechanic who dropped out of high school "The Fonz" with his two thumbs up "Aay!" ("Happy Days"), housing project resident J.J. who, at one time dated a heroin addict, shouting "Dynomite!" ("Good Times"), or a black man arrested during the Watts Riots, Linc, who now works as an undercover cop, uttering "Solid" ("Mod Squad"), they evinced the mantra of the era: in the midst of disruption, uncertainty, and change, be cool.
Despite hardship, repeatedly in shows from this decade individuals are shown giving back. In the midst of the Boston Busing Crisis in 1975, on TV, an idealistic teacher returns to Brooklyn to teach a motley group of remedial students known as the "Sweathogs" ("Welcome Back, Kotter"), a former NBA player becomes a high school coach in South Central L.A. to teach kids about basketball and life ("The White Shadow"), and an aging cop refuses promotions because he wants to contribute to the safety of his community ("Blue Knight"). Week after week outsiders are shown fitting in: a scholarship student at an elite girls' prep school ("The Facts of Life"), a New Mexican Marshall in Manhattan ("McCloud"), police transports to the Bay City ("Starsky and Hutch"), and an alien from Planet Ork ("Mork and Mindy"). When given a choice, characters reject a cushy lifestyle and opt instead to remain true to their working class origins. In Philadelphia, a waitress takes pity on a customer she believes to be poor but turns out to be a blue-blooded pediatrician. They marry and move to a mansion, however, turned off by the arrogance and materialism she encounters, she convinces her husband to move to a much smaller home ("Angie"). Constraint, not conspicuousness, was in vogue. This decade, after all, was a time when wearing upscale Jordache jeans instead of Levi's or Wrangler's ran you the risk of censure for "showing off."
Granted, the 70s also had its share of the paranormal. With regular sightings of Big Foot, UFO, and the Lochness Monster in the news it should come as no surprise that shows featured a woman with ESP ("The Girl With Something Extra"), a man afflicted by gamma radiation exposure ("The Incredible Hulk"), a man suffering from a bite by a radioactive chelicerate arthropod ("Spider Man"), a man immune to every disease on earth ("The Immortal"), a man who could not be seen ("The Invisible Man"), a man with webbed fingers and feet ("The Man from Atlantis"), a man and a woman with surgical implants ("The Six Million Dollar Man," "The Bionic Woman"), and a man and a woman who swapped brains ("Turnabout"). This being the decade when Earth Day and Peter Singer's Animal Liberation appeared, non-human animals received representation ("Planet of the Apes," "BJ and the Bear," "Grizzly Adams"). Even puppets had their own venue ("The Muppet Show").
In the 1980s television shows still addressed topical issues and featured ex-cons ("The A-Team," "Hardcastle and McCormick"), aging feminists ("The Golden Girls"), aliens ("Alf," "Alien Nation"), half-man/half-animal ("Beauty and the Beast"), an atomic-powered robot girl ("Small Wonder"), cross-dressers ("Bosom Buddies"), a man who can become invisible ("The Greatest American Hero"), as well as the African-American working class ("Amen"), middle class ("Family Matters"), and upper middle class ("The Cosby Show"), a multi-ethnic family ("Gimme A Break"), blended family ("Full House," "Kate and Alli"), at-home dad ("Growing Pains"), male nanny ("Who's The Boss?"), and jobs as an ex-Green beret turned fashion photographer ("Cover Up"), nun ("Sister Kate"), Trophy hunter and guide ("Bring 'Em Back Alive"), football coach ("Coach"), cartoonist ("Duck Factory"), Vermont innkeeper ("Newhart"), viticulturists ("Falcon Crest"), movie stunt man/bounty hunter ("The Fall Guy"), fake-priest drifter-turned foster dad ("Father Murphy"), pony express riders ("The Young Riders"), mutant crime fighters ("Misfits of Science"), ex-model turned detective agency CEO ("Moonlighting"), half-alien/half-earthling teenager ("Out of this World"), crime-detecting senior citizen Mystery Writer ("Murder She Wrote"), and a fugitive lycanthrope ("Werewolf"). Non-humans also made regular appearances, including a computer-generated image ("Max Headroom") and a holograph projection ("Quantum Leap"). Shows were set in Arkansas ("Designing Women"), Iowa ("Coach"), Southeast Asia ("Bring 'Em Back Alive"), Vietnam War-era hospitals ("China Beach," "Tour of Duty"), a parallel universe ("Otherworld"), and a mining spaceship populated by a half-human/half-feline race ("Red Dwarf").
Unlike "Gossip Girl" where Dan Humphrey's sanctimoniousness and hypocrisy provides a running plotline, in 1980s shows it is the cash-strapped characters who have credibility and call out the hubris of the comfortable class. In high school settings it is the outsiders and underdogs who teach the value of honesty, hard work, and humility ("Saved By The Bell," "Square Pegs"). They serve as the moral compass outside of school halls as well ("Roseanne," "Harper Valley PTA," "Checking-In," "Cagney and Lacey," "Punky Brewster," "Rags to Riches," "Three's A Crowd," "Silver Spoons"). Working class worries about finances still abounded on cop shows ("Hill Street Blues") and comedies ("Barney Miller," "Taxi"). Even the forerunner to "ER" takes place in a hospital that teeters on the edge of financial insolvency ("St. Elsewhere").
Just as the 1970s was mislabeled the "Me Decade," the 1980s cannot be reduced to the "Decade of Greed." It was a period of transition where ideologies of the left along with the right, charity as much as avarice, remained very much in play. Yippies morphed into yuppies, and Baby Boomers who had marched in the streets against the Vietnam war and participated in the counter culture, wrestled in the Reagan Era with the principles involved in a fattening bank account. Owner of a small ad agency, Michael Steadman ("Thirtysomething") worries about compromising values and "selling out." He debates with friends about authenticity, affluence, and risking comfort to work for social justice. In a dream sequence, he is put on trial for "ideological corruption" and "decadent materialism." He is charged with being a "profit-mongering capitalist" who deceives people in his "insatiable quest for corporate hegemony, blindly aping the current fashions of the decadent ruling class." He is found guilty of being "a dupe of the imperialist yuppy elite" who avariciously rushes into bourgeois trappings. During the second season, he goes bankrupt because he and his partner overextended their company, an event that is portrayed in a positive light. In Columbus, Ohio, Young Republican Alex P. Keaton preaches Reaganomics and aspires to be a Wall Street mogul but remains grounded thanks to his liberal, ex-Peace Corps, pacifist, anti-nuke, pro-ERA parents ("Family Ties").
Days before Reagan took the oath of office, secretary Krystal Jennings embarks on a marriage to her boss, banking and oil tycoon Blake Carrington ("Dynasty"). Building on the success of the Ewing cattle and oil empire ("Dallas"), the show's first season places Krystal's homespun values against the aggressiveness of Blake and his promiscuous grown daughter Fallon. With the appearance of Blake's British ex-wife at the beginning of season two, however, the shows moral register swings in favor of the indiscreet decadence of the ruling class. Shortly thereafter, the show moved into the Top Twenty and two of its biggest fans made guest appearances: Gerald Ford and Henry Kissinger.
Just as the trappings of aristocracy combined with a plutocrat's pocketbook helped ease Krystal's acceptance of her husband's ruthless business tactics, so too did Anglophilia help ease America's slouch toward unfettered capitalism and imperial prowess. Beginning in 1981 when PBS aired "Brideshead Revisited" until the Revolutions of 1989, as the economy improved and patriotism peaked, Americans took virtual correspondence courses in how to become more comfortable with their renewed position. They looked not to Thatcherite England but to the period roughly from 1815 to 1945, when the British Empire spanned the globe. In the visual representations of Brits falling in love, visiting Italy, and ruling India, Americans saw a citizenry at ease with their pedigree, undisturbed by their imperialism. PBS, ironically, played a sizable role in trotting out works of British classics, including Jane Austen ("Sense and Sensibility," "Pride and Prejudice," "Northanger Abbey") and George Eliot ("Silas Marner"). Stories based on British authors appeared on the PBS series "Mystery!" (Agatha Christie, Miss Marple, Dorothy Sayers) and "Masterpiece Theatre" ("The Churchills," "I, Claudius," "Upstairs, Downstairs," "Jeeves and Wooster," "The Six Wives of Henry VIII"), including one about the waning years of the British Raj in India, where the lower-class officer Ronald Merrick is a social-climbing sadist while high-bred Daphne Manners and Sarah Layton are models of tolerance ("The Jewel in the Crown"). The most popular series premiered in 1981, featuring Charles Ryder, a commoner of modest means, who becomes infatuated with the aristocratic Marchmain family ("Brideshead Revisited"). The fad for the Pax Britannica style influenced fashion (Ralph Lauren, Laura Ashley, Brooks Brothers) and Hollywood ("A Passage to India," "Maurice," "A Room with a View," "A Handful of Dust"), including a tale about the 1924 Olympics when Lord Lindsay proves himself a paragon of self-sacrifice and nobility by swapping races with a Christian teammate who will not compete on the Sabbath ("Chariots of Fire").
By 1989 when the Berlin Wall came down and Communism across Europe disintegrated, the pump was primed for unabashed celebrations of secular free-market democracy. The End of History was proclaimed and now pursuing the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" became a primary pastime. America won the Cold War. Why create visual representations of any other ideology?
Yet the pendulum does swing back. Throughout American history an enduring tension has existed between republican civic virtues of modesty, thrift, and duty and corruption, whether in private or public life. Washington Irving published his short story "Rip Van Winkle" in 1819 the year of the first great Panic of modern American capitalism, when virtuous entrepreneurs lost everything despite their hard work and integrity because of the boom-and-bust cycles inherent to this new economic arrangement. As Scott Sandage argues in Born Losers: A History of Failures in America—which chronicles the story of bankrupts in a nation that glorifies winners—"down and out" characterizes the story of this country as much as "rags to riches." In the Nasdaq '90s the stories of these Americans became eclipsed by images of bling and bravado. During times of economic malaise corporations restructure, culture refocuses, and values reshuffle. I am looking forward to this recalibration and to more shows that reflect, and thereby legitimize, dissent from the ideology of unbridled capitalism. Although, I have to admit, I could do without after school specials and their overly subtle titles ("My Dad Lives in a Downtown Hotel," "My Mom's Having a Baby," "Please Don't Hit Me, Mom," "The Day My Kid Went Punk"). Already, for the first time since emerging from the rabbit hole that is graduate school in the humanities, the coalescing sensibility of the times feels familiar, like an old cardigan. Speaking of which, my closet has been waiting almost three decades for the fashion sense of "Cagney and Lacey" to come back in style. Plus, Paul Volcker is back. Solid.

Online activities including weekly readings, tutorials, quizzes, and online discussions with other patient navigators. Online courses require 6 hours of time per week. The amount of work each week is similar to a college-level online course. Because you will be participating in online discussions with other students in the course, the success of the course depends on your participation. By registering for an online course, you commit to fully participating in the course and online discussions. Who are Level 2 courses for?
Physical Aspects of Disease
Navigators who understand the terminology, treatment and prevention of chronic diseases are best equipped to help patients. In this course we focus on the physical aspect of several common chronic diseases, their risk factors, diagnosis and treatment. You will learn about cancer, diabetes,heart disease and pulmonary disease. View course objectives
Emotional and Social Aspects of Disease
Chronic diseases affect our physical bodies, but they also have an emotional, social and psychological impact. This course explains how chronic disease affects patients and their families and the role of navigators in helping patients. View course objectives
Advanced Care Coordination
Healthcare delivery can be very fragmented, which often results in poor health outcomes, patient dissatisfaction, and higher healthcare costs. Coordinated care contributes to patient-centered, high-quality care. This course prepares patient navigators to coordinate care for their clients consistent with Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) guidelines and requirements. View course objectives
Advanced Professional Conduct
In this course we examine ethical issues related to healthcare. Case studies and stories will be used to illustrate ethical concerns and facilitate personal reflection. We will also discuss how to apply ethical decision-making to situations faced in daily practice. View course objectives
Advanced Motivational Interviewing for Patient Navigators
This course builds on the fundamental motivational interviewing concepts and basic skills learned in the Patient Navigator Fundamentals course. In this course you will expand your skills related to the strategic use of questions and reflections to build upon and deepen client change talk. You will also learn to reduce client resistance by practicing complex and focused reflective listening skills.
Bridging Theory and Practice: Applying Health Behavior Change Theories to Patient Navigation
This two-day course is for patient navigators who help patients diagnosed with or at risk for chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. In this course you will learn several behavioral and social science theories, determinants of risk, and ways to link these theories to prevention interventions. The course includes exercises in understanding the factors that influence behavior; an overview of the different levels of interventions; a framework to link theory, behavioral determinants and interventions; and small group work to strengthen skills learned in the course.

A Word of Praise from an Amplify Attendee
When I first heard about AMPLIFY I signed up immediately. Although being a business owner has it's glamorous moments, often I'm on Entrepreneur Island: Population 1. I knew that being surrounding by intentional, brilliant, and FUN women would bring more joy into my life. AMPLIFIERS are not only women on a mission to sprinkle love all over this planet, they are those people that you know would pick you up if you got a flat tire or go to that weird new dance class with you. I love AMPLIFY because it's more than dinner and drinks, it's good people, amazing conversation, and beautiful connections that last far beyond paying the tab.

THE magic of the FA Cup may have been continually called into question in recent seasons but it was certainly there for all to see during a scintillating afternoon of football at Southend United on Saturday.
The Shrimpers saw off Championship strugglers Millwall 4-1 courtesy of a commanding and quality performance.
But the margin of the magnficent victory only tells half the story of what must surely rank as one of the most eventful afternoons of football ever seen at Roots Hall.
For not only did Phil Brown's side dominate the majority of a match against a team two divisions above them, but there was also an incredible amount of excitement during an action packed encounter which lasted close to two hours!
The drama started early when the Lions claimed Barry Corr should have been sent off after a clash with defender Jack Smith in the opening exchanges before the stadium was plunged into darkness midway through the first half after the floodlights failed.
During 15 very nerve-wracking minutes, Blues fans waited for their hopes of a cup upset to be reignited and humorously attempted to get the game back on by shining their mobile phones towards the pitch.
But once the lights flickered back into life so did the Shrimpers as they continued to pile pressure on a Millwall side clearly lacking in confidence.
The Lions and their caretaker manager Neil Harris, who endured a miserable first return to Roots Hall, were not helped by the red card shown to striker Jermaine Easter just before the break and Southend made the most of their extra man to score another three goals in appalling wet conditions which could also have put the game in doubt.
However, the slippery surface just about stood up to the task and helped Blues bag what could prove to be a crucial triumph in their bid for success this season.
The cash strapped club picked up £67,500 in prize money after beating Millwall, plus gate receipts and will now have the chance to earn even more in the next stage of the competition.
That comes at a crucial time for Shrimpers who need to strengthen their squad during the January transfer window to bolster their chances of promotion and a return to League One.
Right now, Blues are only able to bring in just one more signing due to the restrictions of the transfer embargo they are currently under.
But the unexpected income the cup run has generated increases the chances of the embargo being lifted which, in turn, would make it more likely for Southend to be able to keep pace with their promotion rivals.
That is because more cover and competition is needed both in defence and attack but Saturday again showed the progress being made by the Shrimpers.
Blues have now lost just once in their last 13 games and are clearly starting to move in the right direction, unlike the ITV cameraman sent to cover Saturday's game who somehow ended up in Southampton instead of Southend!
Blues' route to the fourth round was certainly far more straight forward as they produced one of the best performances and results in many seasons.
The team impressed all over the pitch with midfielders Will Atkinson, Ryan Leonard and Michael Timlin all catching the eye and the margin of victory could easily have been far greater.
Further forward, Barry Corr also looked lively and returned to the score-sheet with a well taken header to continue his remarkable scoring record in the FA Cup.
The Irishman and his in form team-mates will now be looking to build on their mauling of the Lions as they resume their league campaign with a trip to Plymouth Argyle this weekend.
But whatever happens during the remainder of the season, Saturday's match will be one that lives long in the memory for everyone connected with Southend United.
However, they will now all be hoping that there are more memorable moments are to follow as this talented team bids for even more triumphs and ultimately their main goal of promotion.

Seriously... the joke never ends when it comes to Mattel. WTH.
Bad news, guys!
No no NO!! We just got the word that we CANNOT reveal our SDCC exclusive tonight. We'll still have an awesome display with every figure in the line through Moss Man, but due to powers beyond our control (Skeletor, is that you??) we can't reveal the new figure. We'll let you know as soon as we get the go-ahead.
Okay, so for reasons beyond our control it was a no go on the SDCC item we wanted to reveal (I'm looking your way Skeletor...) but in its place, we will have one new MOTUC monthly figure as well as a few hints of other figures on the way! Head out tonight to Gallery 1988 if you are in the LA area!
The Official 200X Sorceress vs 200X Evil-Lyn 2 Pack Support Thread

Sagitar (Jetlag) Azdar Belzar Chazdar 200X Evil-Lyn 200X Teenage Prince Adam 200X Teenage Teela 200X Sorceress General Rattlor (MYP) 200X King Randor and Queen Marlena 200X Battle Armor King Randor and Battle Armor Queen Marlena Ice Armor He-Man WMD Roboto
Seriously... the joke never ends when it comes to Mattel. WTH.
ha! pipped ya by 2 minutes. heehee.
Oh Geez. Oh well, we'll still have great pics of the other figures coming. But still...
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.
You can join the Illumina Facebook page here!
This kinda sucks... still looking forward to pics though!
Wow! Talk about a let down!
Sometimes it feels like this company isn't in control of anything.
I hope they're able to get this out sometime during this art show because if they wait any longer there will be a lot of angry fans out there....not that there aren't any of them out there now after this announcement.
Wanted: Episode 40 Comic.
I expect a good gif from Tallstar.
Through Mossman said the man. Adora comes before Moss-Man.
Top wants: 3 main Twiggets, Red Knight, Granita, Hunga the Harpy, Dylamug, Vultak, Enchantress, Kothos, General Tataran, Evil Seed (Filmation), Masque, Sybiline (pack-in Gorgon), Melaktha, Despara, toy Catra, Master Sebrian, Andros, Sorceress NA comic, Kex Queen, Lodar, Green trap Jaw, Pink tri-Klops, pale monkey feet Stratos, Orange Ram man, Pale Man e Faces
Sigh... it figures. From my Scare Glow order being screwed up by Digital River, to Moss Man's fuzzy ears, It's been one MOTUC disappointment after another for me this week
Boooooo! What's the big deal if they show it today?
*sigh* Was anticipating this for days.
Something tell me this might've been a new Filmation character or someone they've just acquired the rights to. Maybe the prototype broke. If so, that's really, really not good. Could also be someone who just now got the memo Attitubes were already revealed at SDCC and didn't go over very well.
Any other speculations? Not that I'm going to be there, but we could've looked forward to some pics. Oh well.
If the powers that be are telling them they cannot show just yet, it's a sure fire bet that this figure was not originally availible when the line started,and something is a foot. Patience peeps,patience. I'm just as annoyed. They should bring Evil Lynn to calm the hysteria.
Once you kill the cow, you gotta make a burger
Positive Trade with : Thehorde,
Toyguru likes to hype stuff, just to keep fans interested. He knows how hungry MOTUC fans can get and that strategy works. It looks like we can add this event to the list (Which Evil-Lyn will be the April figure and the G4 broadcast).
At least the art show people will be able to see Finalized Moss Man in person.
The Official 200X Sorceress vs 200X Evil-Lyn 2 Pack Support Thread
The Blonde Teela Thread
Sagitar (Jetlag) Azdar Belzar Chazdar 200X Evil-Lyn 200X Teenage Prince Adam 200X Teenage Teela 200X Sorceress General Rattlor (MYP) 200X King Randor and Queen Marlena 200X Battle Armor King Randor and Battle Armor Queen Marlena Ice Armor He-Man WMD Roboto
Harrumph I say!
Your support means more research for the Myostatin-challenged.
You know, if they were smart, Mattel would have little backup plans in place for when this sort of thing happens. So they can't reveal the exclusive? How about hooking us up with those Evil-Lyn images and reveal her accessories to kinda make up for it? Or carded pics and bio for Moss Man?
If you're going to wave a whole carrot in front of our noses and then yank it at literally the last minute, at least have a carrot stick to tide us over. Or we're going to eat your face.
Boooooo! That sucks!!!
That was only a joke! Matty said that on facebook. He was just kidding
Come on, why tease us. Guess we will have to wait until Toy Fair
Let me get this right. This is Mattel. One of, if not the, world's biggest toy companies.
And yet, one continuous **** up after another!
~jay firestorm~
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/pj-firesto...id=p4340.l2562 FS: MIB first release Classics, MIB 200x, COMPLETE VINTAGE FIGURE SET, 2009 SDCC Art Book, more...
Well, that stinks. But I agree - the exclusive must be something they couldn't previously have done. So maybe there's hope for Shadow Weaver?
Still, it does seem like Matty cannot do anything start to finish without problems.
"That's very interesting...but silly."

FACE TO FACE. The vast majority of men involved in WWII never experienced combat, serving instead in the huge support services that kept the war machine going. The men who were actually at the front lived through some of the greatest horrors of the human experience. Their story was one of a constant struggle to stay alive while being pushed beyond the limits of hope. This programme takes you to the sharp end and into the daily lives of the servicemen taking on their enemy face to face. BATTLEGROUND. World War II was a truly global conflict fought in extraordinary terrain and climbs over four continents. During the battles of World War II, this terrain was paid for in blood. Thousands of men found their final resting place in the ground for which they fought. This emotional programme is a testament to the courage and sacrifice made by those who paid the ultimate price for victory. HOMEFRONT. World War II touched the lives of, not only the millions of combatants at the front lines, but also the civilian populations at home. Severe war-time conditions were often inflicted on those least able to cope with them - women, children and the elderly. They bravely shouldered their duties while suffering the burden of rationing, terror and concern for their loved ones overseas.
