As Wisconsin taxpayers are faced with an , rank-and-file members of the state's largest teachers union are fuming mad over the endorsement of a candidate that was hand-picked by their leadership.
Kathleen Falk, the former Dane County executive, was endorsed by Wisconsin Education Association Council bosses on Wednesday, with one condition: Uphold a promise to veto the budget reforms instituted by Gov. Scott Walker.
Hours after the endorsement, a petition on change.org was created to demand that the union rescind its endorsement of the former chief executive of the second largest county government in Wisconsin. Rank-and-file members were upset with WEAC endorsing a unproven candidate for statewide office that lost two times.
Any keen observer of Wisconsin politics knows of Falk's failed runs for statewide office. In 2002, she finished dead last in a three-way Democratic primary for governor to then-Governor Jim Doyle and former Congressman Tom Barrett. Four years later, Falk lost a bid to be Wisconsin's attorney general during a wave election for Democrats.
Falk was forever infamous during the 2006 attorney general's race for blatantly lying about J.B. Van Hollen's role in a child sex predator case and accusing him of releasing him on bail despite he was not district attorney at the time of release.
A handful of Democratic sheriffs and district attorneys endorsed Van Hollen because they knew that Falk could not be trusted to be Wisconsin's top law enforcement official.
WEAC's rank-and-file members have every right to be upset about their leadership endorsing a unproven candidate. They are questioning if a candidate who met in secret with the union bosses is worthy of their endorsement. Could this backlash translate into support for State Senator Kathleen Vinehout, who announced her intent to run on Wednesday? Only time will tell as Wisconsin's Democrats will face a very divisive primary that will pit their grassroots versus the big labor bosses that are telling them who they should vote for.
The only person that will benefit from the union's divisiveness is Walker. As Walker will not have to face a primary election, he will enjoy a fund-raising and organizational advantage that the liberals will have a hard time replicating. The unions may face their worst nightmare during the Democratic primary if they do not listen to their front-line members that make up the Democratic Party.

19 October 2011|
The prevalence of asthma among children and young adults has decreased over the past decade, according to a report released today by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW).
The report, Asthma in Australia 2011, launched by Professor Guy Marks, Director of the Australian Centre for Asthma Monitoring (ACAM), found that between 2001 and 2007-08, the prevalence of asthma declined in people aged five to 34 years by over one quarter, but remained stable in adults aged 35 years and over.
The report also shows a decrease in deaths from asthma, with the mortality rate due to asthma dropping by 45 per cent between 1997 and 2009.
"Despite these improvements, asthma prevalence and mortality rates in Australia remain high on an international scale," Professor Marks said.
In 2007–08, the prevalence of asthma in Australia was estimated to be about one in 10 – equivalent to about 2 million people.
The report comes hot on the heels of a study that has found that being obese during pregnancy dramatically increases the risk of a child having asthma before their 10th birthday.
Dr Adrian Lowe from Murdoch Childrens Research Institute and the University of Melbourne reports there is a clear increase in the risk of childhood asthma with increasing levels of obesity in the mother, with the children of very obese mothers having a 57 per cent increase in the odds of using asthma medications between eight and 10 years of age.
The research, which was initiated by Dr Lowe, studied more than 189,000 children born to 129,239 mothers.

Add Your New Review About The Song
Great Song | Reviewer: Blackened | 4/7/14
Im a colombian guy, its funny because i never seen the liyrics before but now i understand the real sense of the song, i feel so much inspired with this lyrics and this song its similar to my life so thank u for upload this nice song
the song | Reviewer: çağla | 11/12/13
boy just listen to the song..everyone has a right to get the song in the way he wants...so shut up this is a meaningful song.if you dont think so,then just listen to it for the melody,right?????
One of my favorite songs | Reviewer: New Jersey Metal Mom | 1/6/13
I am adopted this song is about me. I was taken out of my natural element and expected to adapt to the family I was raised in. They loved me the best they could but my whole life has been like trying to shove a square peg into a round hole it isn't going to work unless you sand off some of the parts of the square. When people continually do not accept you for who you are you get bitter because you have always accepted them. For my 45th birthday I got an Unforgiven tattoo on my forearm. I can relate to so many Metallica songs and James in particular that is why they are my favorite band.
What this song iz about. | Reviewer: Cyborg174 | 1/2/13
This is about a man(specificly James H.) whao was born in a christian family, who dont belive in medicine and stuff like that,only god. But the man spends his whole life trying to please the and his thoughts and dreams keep getting destroyed by them so much that he becomes bitter and regretful that he spent his whole life trying to please them amd not himself. Then he commits the unforgiven, which is probably to be able to "Die Regratflluy".
The meaning of this song. | Reviewer: Eddyo | 12/17/12
I think I can tell you what this song is all about.
After all, I am 41 years now, and living the song myself.
It's about somebody who is lonely, and never understood.
From childhood on.
He tried to, but they never cared about him.
And as this person is getting older and older, people see that at a curtain point in his life, he doesn't care anymore.
And then it's too late.
They're trying to say:
Before that happens with somebody, please try to understand each other a little bit better.
Thank you.
Shut up | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/21/12
i always thought this song was about the religious struggles as well as the things you are forced to do throughout your life without questioning them however it doesn't matter I like the song and it makes me reflect on problems similar to my own
Great song | Reviewer: Aenimick | 10/30/12
It's a dark song yea but the message is things are what u make of them. I'm in the Us and this is a great country run by great people. People will alway find things to complain about. Look around u, and appreciate what u have. And don't forget to vote for president obama
You got to be kidding me | Reviewer: seriously | 10/23/12
Are you all retarded...do some background on the band itself before you assume anything. Metallica is a hard core rock band full of guys that go around banging chicks after each show...So tell me why a hard core rock band would sing about a faggot....answer? They wont...goto the offical site and interview...its about the struggles of life
Surely.... | Reviewer: Bob the printer | 7/28/12
Songs shouldn't have one set meaning
Songs can have any meaning you want them to have
For me, I can heavily relate my life through what James is singing. I have been on the autistic spectrum all my life and through my life I've always felt I've been doing things wrong but I can't control them. The lines 'never shined through in what I've shown', 'never seen what might have been' and 'you labelled me, I'll label you' shine through for me personally. Now, I know this is probably not was in mind when this song was written but that's what it means to me.
Of course it can be about homosexuality. It can also be about fighting against poverty or racism or biogotry or whatever. Whatever it means to you is important.
Funniest Shit | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/2/12
I know this might piss off everyone here, but the gay meaning of this song expressed by anonymous with the title shamed is the funniest interpretation of this song if he meant it to be humorous. Everyone has their own views, and no offense to the gay community, but since generally society does make fun of things that should not be made fun of, the statement of "finally through being entered repeatedly he gives in and is whipped like the naughty girl he is" comes across to me as a creative and humorous way of interpreting this song. Taken in a serious way it has meaning if you compare it to bullshitting a class on philosophy and interpreting the meaning of things in creative ways lol. This song probably doesn't have anything to do with gayism, but I found it humorous.
explaining songs | Reviewer: Hans | 7/1/12
Please stop trying to explain what songs are about, it's useless. Our interpretations are all different.
The real art is finding it's meaning for yourself.
The artist gives us their interpretations of reality and emotion, we become artist in
listening, looking, and interpreting what has been presented by the artist, in our own
language, experience, and emotion. Devise your own meaning
of the art presented and for what it means to you.
just shut it | Reviewer: metallibasher | 5/29/12
why does everything have to have a meaning? why cant you just look at what an artist does n respect it for what it is? no try to find some meaning that will make you seem sooo deep man. and its definitely not a song about some faggot
Life of a human being | Reviewer: Milan from Belgrade | 5/8/12
I really don't know if Metallica was refering to "GAY" sexuality and even if they did, that's their view. You should observe the song as a whole generic story. To each it's own. I don't like gays, but I don't talk about them nor do I care, live and let live.
In my oppinion, this song speaks of how, since the moment we are born, we cannot be ourselves(free) but we are put in the bonds of society, where we have to follow the rules and do with our life what is expected of us to do, not to be able to follow your goals and dreams just so that we could survive. Otherwise we are considered as outcasts from the society. "We all have to fit in." that's what the message is, they force us to live in a pattern.
And all u idiots and bigots who are constantly thinking just about a boy who is gay, well plz see a doctor for that
Peace out, I'm off to Metallica's second concert in Europe today in Belgrade, fuck yeah!
Opinion what song is about | Reviewer: Jeff H. | 4/18/12
Here's the meaning between each stanza (only the first ones that show because it repeats it):
1. Boy getting mistreated because of he being different and is forced to learn new rules by him recieving pain.
2. Time goes on and the boy gets whipped for doing evil and he can no longer think for himself which makes him struggle in life and realizes that he has to bve on his own and he can't let his freedom be taking away from them.
3. What he felt and hes known never having freedom, never being what he wants to be, never been positive.
4. Deidcated to their lives, battling constantly to be free its no use and he is bitter.
Sounds like a person was to weak and scared to stand up for themselves... I did like the homosexuality to this but techically that wasnt the sole purpose of the song. Rock bands focused on Women and their own ego not men. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you truly like my review
WTF! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/17/12
all of your views are FUCKED head your head out of the fuckin trash can its all the same doesnt matter what song they're all just the personal views of the songwriters. by the way the fag theory must have been derived by that dudes repressed childhood memories of when he was repeatedly entered

What it does: (from Lush.co.uk)
Ground rice, ground almonds and ground aduki beans make Buffy a triple threat to dead skin and lumpy bumpy bits. They are tough enough to polish away the dead, without being too harsh on your skin. Cocoa butter and shea butter make sure that the skin is left moisturised and dewy soft. Lavender oil is a great oil for soothing the skin and calming the mind.
Price: $11.95/3.3 oz in the U S, 5.50 GBP/90g in the UK, 1580 JPY/90g in Japan
This translates to $0.128/g in the US, $0.097/g in the UK, and $0.221/g in Japan. Due to the very strong Japanese Yen, this product is nearly 2.5 times more expensive in Japan as it is in the UK.
Scent: to me, this smells like generic soap. That is pretty rare for a Lush product.
- Lush suggests you use it in the shower. This product is intended to moisturize and exfoliate your skin, conveniently at the same time in the shower.
- The heat of the shower makes the cocoa & shea butter melt easily into your skin
- This product seriously hurt my skin. I got red scratch marks on my skin after using this product on my arms and legs.
- The cocoa/shea butter is used up faster than the exfoliating bits. As you this product, it becomes more and more gritty.
I am so disappointed that I disliked this product so much! Oh dear, hopefully my next experience with Lush will be better!!
xoxo, K

A couple of years ago, Brock Enright got to be kinda famous kidnapping people, a service called Video Games. The victims paid him to orchestrate their thieving for some inverted thrill of the chase. He'd film these kidnappings, hiring Jody Lee Lipes for his elegant camerawork. The two have stayed collaborators and friends, and a few years ago, when Enright went west to make a completely bizarre and actually kind of fucked up art film, Lipes trailed along with him and his wife Kirsten filming the making of their film. So a lot of filming. And a lot of uncomfortable family times, as they stayed with Kirsten's brother in the California woods, and Enright did a lot of shit naked covered in cakey powder or with his wife in a mouse mask or literally while shitting and occasionally got really drunk and yelled about how shit was really meaningful. Seriously, it's a fucking mess. But it's also extremely pure and important, a righteous display of the power of a singular vision and how a foggy idea can subsume a man and with that everyone around him. Like a wild politician, Enright is excitedly magnetizing, and Lipes is so intimate a part of that momentum that we are unsure we've ever seen the highs and lows so transparently and with so much frightening closeness. The resulting film, Good Times Will Never Be the Same is startling and wonderful (and is now out on DVD). In the following interview with Enright and Lipes, they make reference to Hearts of Darkness, the brutal film shot by Eleanor Coppola about her husband completely losing his mind while filming Apocalypse Now, is a hugely apt touchstone. Lipes points out that everyone Francis does on that set is now codified as part of a movie making weirdness because the end result is so beloved. Well, plenty of people thought Apocalypse Now was gonna suck. Didn't change big fat Coppola from being nuts and, regardless, he's someone to watch. See what we mean?
What's striking about Good Times is how intensely intimate it is, despite the fact that Jody is not actually in it. How close were you guys were before filming?
Jody: Kirsten [Brock's wife] once said to me that everyone thinks that Brock is their best friend. I feel very close to Brock, but I think he has a lot of really close friends. I just saw the Joan Rivers documentary. It's great. After I watched it I thought to myself, "This is really good because of the kind of person she is. She's totally willing to let anybody see anything. All her insecurities, everything behind the scenes." Without that it would have been not so special of a movie, even though she's a very special person. And I think it's the same thing here, because Brock and Kirsten let us have that access. Because they were both so open about it, it made it unique. It's like, in that movie you get to see behind the scenes of show business in a way that I'd never seen it before, and I feel like this is similar. I've never seen behind the scenes of art this way before, and I think it's all because of how much he let me in.
Brock: Yeah, and I think Jody had an advantage because I'm so familiar with him being around in so many different ways—either watching something, helping out, or shooting something that I was doing, so that's where Jody's there, he's in the room. It's like when you're working with people and everyone does their parts so you don't have to pay attention to each person, you just do your thing. So that's why you got that intimate stuff that you did.
Even separate from the art stuff…on a drive up to California you guys get into a fight in a hotel. I remember watching that an just being like, "Holy shit." But then being like, "Holy shit, wait—someone is filming this." Later in the film, you're walking around naked with white powder all over yourself, and you're taking a shower and Jody is right there with you. I don't know who that's scarier for.
Jody: I think it was the second night I was shooting. We were on the road and we were in a hotel room and there was this argument where Kirsten's laying down on the bed, face down, and Brock is standing there in his yellow rain jacket and they're arguing, and I just remember standing there and thinking, "I can't believe they're having this conversation in front of me, like the second day of shooting." That was when I knew that I had gotten something special–that the movie was going to be interesting to someone other than me.
How did the idea for the movie come about?
Brock: Through many years ago, we knew of each other through similar friends…we dated the same girl. And then, I always heard really good things about him, as a filmmaker and as a person, and I always felt like he was someone I'd like to get to know, and then I did get to know him.
Jody: He lured me in. He was very insistent that we get together, and then he was very insistent that I work with him, which I really wanted to do and I was really exited about. I mean, because at the time it was like, Videogames was in Rolling Stone, and to me, I was in college, and this was this totally famous guy, and it's like, I'm Ricky Lake, and it was jut this crazy project that was exiting for me to be a part of. And then actually doing was even more exiting—to see how intelligently it was all planned, and like, let run wild. It was just a bunch of people doing this crazy project that… you can't even really explain it to people. I was part of one that I think was a really exceptional one maybe, I'm not sure about that, I only did a couple of them, but the client was just fucking horrified. Horrified. For days. I didn't even sleep that much while I was there, because I was just interested in watching what was going on. So that's how our working relationship started.
Brock: And then he rejected me. He rejected me on this one project. I said, "Hey, I've got this show. I want to make a movie in the woods. I need someone to shoot. Hey, you'd be great, let's do it." And he was like, "Sounds cool but, how about I just film you doing what you do."
So Jody, you were actually supposed to just be filming the art film.
Brock: This was like months before I proposed it, and then he rejected me like months before I went into it. So he was prepared to shoot his own movie, and I was like, "All right, let's do it. Go for it."
Did you guys have fun?
Brock: It's funny, I always think about fun, like, what does that mean? And I always think that F-U-N was something that needed to do hard work, and, yeah, whenever you dive into what you're doing and just get lost is great, but at the same time, it can be so scary. It's like, that's what's fun, danger. Being dangerous can be fun. I guess it's fun in that way, but now I kind of think about my reckless behavior. Breaking bones a lot.

Jon Wood, who is Technical Team Leader for Psychology and Audiology Programmes in LHS, has been awarded a national Higher Education Academy Psychology Network Technician Award for 2009.
'This award means as much to Aston University as it does to me, and should be shared by all who have contributed to creating an environment of freedom and creativity', says Jon. He was nominated by Professor Adrian Burgess, who referred to him as 'a reflective teacher who is always taking on board feedback to improve his practise,' in the award nomination.
Jon, who says you have to be very creative in his line of work, has been involved with research into teaching and has recently taken on a new role in the University as an E-Learning Specialist in the Health-E learning centre, which is based in the School of Life & Health Sciences. This involves helping staff to develop and enhance their learning methods through technology, for example using podcasts and contact through mobiles rather than more traditional forms of teaching.
Jon believes in teaching people about technology by making things simple and easy to understand. He specialises in innovative, sustainable pedagogy by revisiting contemporary technology from a novel perspective, in a way that inspires both students and academics. Jon's recent research area involves using PowerPoint for adventure learning games.
Jon is also dedicated to work in outreach education, having provided psychology taster sessions and master classes for AimHigher events, outreach initiatives, school residential, Gifted and Talented events and regional autism units. These demonstrations and summer schools are always brilliantly received, with constantly positive feedback.
Jon has made an international contribution to psychological science in his capacity as Deputy Manager of the fMRI facilities here at Aston. He has automated a process of scanning brain data and wrote a computer script which he called MRSA (Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Semi Automatic) which was released at the international Methods in Mind conference in 2005. This is now publicly accessible for the worldwide neuro-imaging community. Many universities in the UK, including Sussex and Manchester are now using this code, and also the universities of Iowa and Texas in the USA.
Jon says it's wonderful to be recognised for his work, and he is looking forward to continuing to bring fresh new ideas to the University. He would like to thank Dr Carl Senior and Professor Adrian Burgess in Psychology and Sally Finn from University Communications for helping him with the award entry - one that has clearly ended in great success.

Polaris software for Taiwan bank
Our Bureau
Mr Arun Jain
Chennai , July 19
POLARIS Software Lab has entered into an agreement with Polaris Financial Group of Taiwan to provide banking software to Bank of Overseas Chinese, a member of the group.
Announcing the agreement at a news conference, Mr Arun Jain, Chairman, Polaris Software, clarified that it was just a coincidence that both companies shared a name.
Under the agreement, Polaris Software will deploy its banking software, Intellect Suite, in Bank of Overseas Chinese.
According to Mr Jain, the deal is important to Polaris Software because this will be the first time the company will be offering total solution to a bank's entire operations through Intellect Suite.
As of now, Polaris Software has offered only limited solutions for particular areas of operations such as Treasury operations or credit card business to large banks in Europe and Japan, he added.
Mr Jain also saw the deal as a means to gain a foothold in the larger market in neighbouring China.
"The experience gained in Taiwan and the new partner would pave the way for Polaris Software's entry into the larger market."
The size of the deal would be between $5 million and $10 million.
Polaris Software staff will first assess the bank's specific needs and then customise Intellect Suite as required.
"This could take a few months and once the assessment is done, the project would be finalised and the pace would pick up," he said.
Mr Wayne Pai, Chairman of Polaris Financial Group, said that the group recently acquired Bank of Overseas Chinese, a public sector bank.
The plan is to upgrade the IT infrastructure at the $10-billion bank, which has over 55 branches in Taiwan and 1,800 employees.
Mr Pai said that Taiwan itself is a growing market with global leadership in IT and financial services. Polaris Financial Group has interests in banking, insurance, securities, and futures.

A Muskogee man was treated and released after a crash near mile marker 43 on the Muskogee Turnpike.
An Oklahoma Highway Patrol report states a 2005 Chevrolet Roll Back Wrecker driven by Donald Eugene Brown, 44, was southbound on the shoulder about 2:50 p.m. Monday when it began a U-turn and was struck by another vehicle. Brown was taken to Eastar Health System with internal injuries, the release states.
The other vehicle was a 2005 Volvo tractor-trailer driven by Dmitriy Yevchev, 41, of Jacksonville, Fla. Yevchev refused treatment at the scene.
The release states Brown was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected approximately 25 feet. Yevchev was wearing a seat belt, according to the release. Neither vehicle had airbags.
The cause of the collision was listed as "improper turn/u-turn" on the accident report.

I offer my sincere condolences to the family of 9-year-old Taylor McQueeney who did in the fire on River Street in Lewiston on Aug. 17.
Many people have died in the past because utility companies were more concerned about collecting their money than humanity.
The little girl would be alive today if CMP had used better judgment before disconnecting electricity in a neighborhood where the buildings are so close together.
The Lewiston Fire Department deserves thanks for preventing the fire from spreading and becoming a horrible nightmare for other families.
Landlords need to monitor their tenants to assure their utilities have not been disconnected and the Public Utilities Commission needs to conduct a full investigation.
Robert LaCombe, Sabattus

Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the date of this indictment.
A federal grand jury has indicted two former East Bay police officers on charges that include running a brothel and selling drugs.
Former Contra Costa County Narcotics Enforcement Cmdr. Norman Wielsch and ex-private investigator Christopher Butler stand accused of 17 felonies. The duo, who had been free on bail on previous charges in the case, were re-arrested by FBI agents and locked up without bail as the indictment was handed down Aug. 8 in a federal court in San Francisco.
The indictment accuses Wielsh and Butler, both 50, of working together to steal methamphetamine and marijuana from police evidence lockers and selling it back on the street.
The amount of drugs they're accused of stealing is enough to land them in federal prison for a decade, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, but several of the charges carry sentences of life in prison.
The two also pimped out sex workers at a Pleasant Hill massage parlor, the charges say. They are accused of demanding weekly payments from the women in exchange for protection, according to the indictment.
The men also reportedly conducted stings involving prostitutes, authorities say.
"Wielsch and Butler identified individuals they believed to be prostitutes through online advertisements and arranged meetings with them, typically in hotels," according to a statement from the Attorney General's office. "Wielsch and Butler then staged what purported to be legitimate sting operations, but instead of seizing evidence and citing the prostitutes, they unlawfully took the prostitutes' money and property for themselves."
They did the same to get drugs —conducting what appeared to be legitimate stings but pocketing the narcotics for themselves, the indictment alleges.
"This indictment alleges a pattern of lawlessness that not only violated the trust of the people of Contra Costa County, but also brings dishonor to all the fine men and women in law enforcement who work hard, do the right thing, and risk their lives every day protecting our communities," U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag said in a statement.
Wielsh, a Concord resident, and Butler, who lives in Antioch, have been under investigation since January (Here's a in the case.) The Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office initiated the investigation but handed it over to federal authorities when it became too far-reaching to handle.
The original case named two more defendants, former Danville police officer Stephen Tanabe and former San Ramon police officer Louis Lombardi.
Information about whether federal prosecutors plan to charge Tanabe and Lombardi was not immediately available. Jack Gillund, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office, said he could only comment on the indictment itself, which did not mention the two other defendants.
Butler is due in federal court again at 9:30 a.m. Thursday before Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins in San Francisco for a detention hearing. And Wielsh is scheduled to appear at 9:30 a.m. Aug 22 before Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler in Oakland.

Doug Rader, chief ocean scientist at Environmental Defense Fund, conceded Monday his organization's 2008 policy paper predicting a jellyfish-dominated oceanic catastrophe oversimplified the problem.
"Oceans of Abundance," which was underwritten by the Walton Family Foundation and co-authored by NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco, then an EDF official, foresaw "the collapse of global fisheries in our lifetimes," to be replaced by "massive swarms of jellyfish" — unless the wild stocks were immediately privatized and commodified for "catch share" trading in the global investment market.
EDF's Rader was responding to a Monday Times story about the publication in the February issue of BioScience on research that found no evidence of a trend toward an explosion of the jellyfish — or "gelatinous zooplankton" — filling the void left by the removal of more complex fishes.
The team was headed by ecologist Robert Condon of the Dauphin Island Sea in Alabama and 17 other scientists.
The "jellyfish thesis" had become a lightning rod due to Lubchenco's status as a distinguished scientist when she came to office. At the same time, she has presided over rapid expansion of catch share regimens, including into the New England groundfishery, based on shaky claims and fierce industry and congressional resistance.
"The single 'jellyfish world' paradigm was always too simple," Rader said in a Monday email response to questions submitted by the Times.
"While scientists agree that widespread alterations of coastal and marine ecosystems are occurring around the world, those transformations take different forms," he added. "In every case, we believe that good solid management, created in direct consultation with fishermen, can achieve important benefits for both marine ecosystems and fishing communities."
Lubchenco, through her spokesman Justin Kenney, again declined to reassess Oceans of Abundance. The Times submitted response requests to her office Friday and Monday.
However, in April 2009, soon after her Senate confirmation, in written response to questions, Lubchenco said she "strongly endorses" the Oceans of Abundance report, and cited a single, 2008 scientific study as evidence that privatization of fisheries worked best. That study was co-written by her brother-in-law, Steve Gaines, dean of the Donald Bren School of Environmental Sciences at University of California at Santa Barbara.

SportsInsights.com Article — Super Bowl XLV Pittsburgh Steelers vs Green Bay Packers (February 2011)
We have looked at a variety of tools and analysis that can be used to capture value in the Super Bowl — and in this article, we will use these different tools — as SportsInsights.com's own "panel of experts" for the Super Bowl. Included in our panel of experts are our regular sports analytical tools, including betting percentages, Smart Money triggers, and Steam Moves. We'll also take a look at what our Power Ratings say, along with factors researched in the book: "Who Will Win the Big Game?"The information on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only. Use of this information in violation of any federal, state, or local laws is prohibited.
Sports Investing, Value and the Super Bowl
What do SportsInsights' regular indicators say? As leaders in the sports information industry, SportsInsights.com provides its Members with a wealth of information and research. Below is a list of some of our more popular and successful analytical tools:
- Betting Percentage: SportsInsights collects data from several online sportsbooks. This data is available to its clients in the form of a historical database — as well as live odds for current games. Our Members can review the betting percentages and see who the Public likes and hates. Research has shown that "Betting Against the Public" can yield an edge for contrarian sports bettors.
- Smart Money: Studying how the point spreads and lines move in relation to the betting percentages can sometimes help us to identify which way the "sharps" or "smart money" are betting.
These tools are particularly useful during the NFL Playoffs and the Super Bowl, when more casual — and "Square" bettors are watching the "big game."
Earlier in the NFL Playoff Season, we published our annual Power Rankings article. Our rankings are based on factors and parameters that have proven to be useful in helping to predict NFL playoff winners in the past. In particular, our power rankings are based on:
- Strength of schedule
- Overall performance (Points For / Points Against)
- Defense
- Performance against "quality" opponents
Our Power Rankings can be used to see which team has the higher likelihood of winning a game, even ATS (against the spread). For the upcoming Super Bowl, our Power Ratings favor the Green Bay Packers.
Super Bowl Factors – Psychological and Mathematical
Based on research from the book "Who Will Win the Big Game? (A Psychological & Mathematical Method)" — some of the strongest factors related to success and "peak performance" in the Super Bowl (and all major sports) include:
- Recent experience in the Super Bowl
- Better defense (Points Against)
- Consistency factors (such as defense or running game)
- Team with fewer interceptions during the regular season
- Confidence (More double-digit wins)
This research is based on every Super Bowl to date — and the analysis was published in the New York Times. In combination, the authors state that the key "psychological measures" they studied would yield about a 75% winning percentage. Note that this is a "straight-up" victory, with no point spread. However, these factors do have "positive value" ATS (against the spread) as well as "straight-up." Conservatively, this would translate to just under 60%, against the spread.
Super Bowl Scorecard
So what do all of these tidbits of information say about this year's Super Bowl?
|Pittsburgh Steelers
|Green Bay Packers
|NFL Marketwatch
|Betting Percentage
|Line Value
|Smart Money
|Packers (early sharp money)
|Steam Move
|Power Ranking
|Consistency – Running Game
|Fewer Interceptions
|7 factors
|2 factors
We do not guarantee that the trends and biases we've found will continue to exist. It is impossible to predict the future. Any serious academic research in the field of "market efficiencies" recognizes that inefficiencies may disappear over time. Once inefficiencies are discovered, it is only a matter of time before the market corrects itself. We do not guarantee our data is error-free. However, we've tried our best to make sure every score and percentage is correct.

BALTIMORE, Maryland, January 24. IT'S no secret that Baltimore sports greats Michael Phelps and Ray Lewis are close friends. But an article in the Washington Post details a new aspect of their relationship, with the Baltimore Ravens linebacker acting as motivator for the Olympic legend in the years leading up to the London Olympics.
Courtesy of: Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports
Courtesy of: Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports
Phelps, who visited Lewis on Sunday after the Ravens defeated the New England Patriots to earn a spot in the Super Bowl, gave Lewis the credit for keeping him on track during the years leading up to his final Olympic appearance.
"What he did for me is the best thing in the world," Phelps said in the Washington Post article. "He helped me come back."
The article does not mention the impact Phelps' more publicly-known members of his circle have had on getting him to the status of Greatest Olympian of All Time, including coach Bob Bowman and his mother and sisters. Phelps said Lewis was the person he consulted most when things were rough, either in training or personally.
"He just helped me get through a lot of hard times, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without him. He's been telling me, 'One more shot. We're gonna have one more shot.' And he did it."
Phelps became the second American swimmer -- alongside Jason Lezak -- to compete in four Olympic Games. He ended his career with 22 Olympic medals, 18 of which were gold.

Best cheap eats in E.vill/U.Square area?
wanted to get a quick cheap bite at shake shack tomorrow night with a couple friends, but heard the rain might be coming our way, and dont want to risk getting stuck sitting outside in bad weather. so we're looking for an alternative spot - doesnt have tobe too similar at all (not looking just for burgers - im too loyal to the shack), and doesn't have to be quite shake shack prices, but wanted to keep in the cheap eats game. will be meeting right in u.square, so nearby is good, but we can walk a little. we all like just about every type of food i.e. ethnic is good, as long as there are some vegetable based options (one veggie in the group.)
any suggestions much appreciated!!
SEA (Thai)...2nd Avenue between 4th & 5th
Momfuko Noodle Bar...1st Avenue between 10th & 11th
Kabab Garden - 1st near St. Marks
re: kcijones001
re: Kebab Garden--first time I ate there, about 6 months ago, it was pretty good. Had that authentic Turkish thing going on. But today--TOTALLY different story.
The hummus--definitely instant. Not even canned--instant. It was powdery and so salty I couldn't eat it. The salads were stretched thin with finely chopped white onion. The chicken was tasteless, rubbery and dry. Rice was oily. The okra--from a can. Why can't they use cheap frozen stuff? Canned Okra? YUCK!! Tzatziki--which I'd hoped would be labneh--was probably canned as well. This was absolutely disgusting, revolting, inedible food--bottom of the barrel. STAY AWAY. Plus, they raised their prices to $6.99/lb.
Ippudo for out-of-this-world Japanese ramen. 9th St. and 4th Ave.
The Hummus Place one St. Mark's between 1st Ave and Ave A is delicious. Very cute, cozy restaurant. www.thehummusplace.com
Maoz Falafel is right at Union Square on the East Side. A take out place, but you can get cheap falafels and pile on your own toppings at the salad bar.
I also agree with SEA Thai...it's definitely more trendy, not very "authentic", but the food and drinks are good and cheap.
re: nycknowitall
re: dmleo
I second Little Poland- teriffic little fried pierogies and blintzes.
re: FuDee
YUM, Little Poland. That's the best deal in town. The food is GREAT, very inexpensive for the area, and the portions are huge. Favorite dishes: bigos w/ dumplings, Hungarian potato pancakes (WOW), swedish meatballs with dill sauce, cold borscht, and of course the combination platter.
Caracas Arepa Bar! (7th st btw 1st &A)
Cheap and excellent. Probably not the healthiest but might be the tastiest. I'm vegetarian (not vegan) and always have what to order there without repeating the same thing over and over. No worries, there is enough meat as well.
Notice that they have two locations right next to each other one for table service and one to-go.
re: daniagee
re: daniagee
This place is very overrated. Plus if you eat more than very little, you will spend 20 bux there which ain't so cheap for that type of food.
It is not bad, it is just not a great set of arepas.
As other joints of this nature, overrated because there are few.
Go to South America and you will see they are much better. Best in Manhattan? Maybe, I don't know, doesn't mean they are great.
They aren't even 80% as good as a really good version.
Easy to make better yourself.
Well, I am sure they will continue to prosper.
My sister found a place on St. Mark's place that sells $1 pizza slices. I think the place is called Two Brothers or something with Brothers in the name. For a starving NYU student, I don't think it gets cheaper than that. :) For ethnic cuisine, Mamoun's also a place on St. Mark's and sells falafels for $2.50.
Grey Dog Coffee (University and 13th) has pretty standard sandwiches, the food is good, not incredible, but the place itself is very cute.
Spice (University and 10th) is very cheap Thai, super-sweet and addictive Thai iced tea and good food.
Azuki (Park Ave and 20th) really good sushi, reasonable prices, and if you spend 15 dollars a head on food you get unlimited white wine or sake. Great way to start the night!
East village is full of great food and deals but for the really good stuff you're going to have to walk at least to 1st ave...

On the Filibuster
As many people have argued, I would advocate that Alito be filibustered in the Senate. About the nature of his conservatism, there's simply no serious debate, as I have argued here and here and here and here; any systematic look at his decisions indicates that he's overwhelmingly likely to be a Scalia/Thomas/Rehnquist kind of conservative, and until Monday morning this wasn't particularly controversial. (On any individual case you can construct an argument that it's a purely legal disagreement, but if that was all that was going on there would be a significant number cases where he used ambigiuous legal materials to produce a more liberal result, but there aren't. There's nothing wrong with this per se; it's just evidence that he's very conservative. It's the body of work, not any one case.) Obviously, this is very bad from a progressive standpoint, especially since he will be replacing a moderate conservative swing vote. Most liberals agree that Democrats should certainly vote "no." But should there be a filibuster?
I should start by saying that I am actually against filibusters, if I could set the rules (which, ironically, is an argument in favor of its use, as I will argue later.) But as I have said before, unilateral disarmament is not a plan. The rules are in place; it's legitimate to use them until they're changed. There are, however, some good arguments for abjuring the filibuster, and I'll discuss the two big ones using a framework suggested to me by Publius. The first is what might be called the "Bush won the election" argument, that since Bush won Democrats can only filibuster someone who's completely unqualified or an utter crackpot, and Alito obviously is neither. I don't think, however, that this means that the Dems can't filibuster Alito. First of all, Democratic (and moderate Republican) senators won their elections too, and they're entitled to use the Senate's rules to exercise its advise and consent powers, just as the President has the right to nominate (and will obviously not–and should not– nominate someone progressives will like.) I do agree that the Dems should not be able to double-cross Bush if he appointed someone suggested as part of discussions; Hatch let Ginsburg and Breyer through based on a tacit agreement, and that's fair. But it's obviously inoperative in this case; not only did Reid not say he was acceptable, he specifically said that his nomination would provoke a major fight. I also don't think that a filibuster would be justified if Alito were replacing another staunch conservative, but he's not. I don't think that Bush's "victory" in 2000 and historically narrow win for a wartime incumbent provide some kind of normative mandate to effect a major ideological change on the Supreme Court (and judging by the way they're selling him as a moderate, the White House doesn't think it has one either.) Both the President and the Senate have their institutional prerogatives, and the nomination's outcome can and should be fought on that basis; I don't think there's any reason to defer to the President here.

1965 was the year of spymania. Led by the popularlity of the Bond films (and Sean Connery's fourth outing was the biggest box office hit yet) audiences seemingly couldn't get enough espionage, more than 20 spy films went into production that year and hit TV shows included I Spy, The Man from UNCLE, The Wild Wild West and Get Smart. But of course there was only one James Bond, and that was Connery.
Here, he's chasing down SPECTRE Number 2, Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi), who has threatened to nuke Miami unless he is paid (deep breath) $100 million in diamonds.
The first Bond film directed by Terence Young, Thunderball was largely faithful to Ian Fleming's fourth novel. It features a very cool jet-pack sequence, but it was the underwater scenes that really had an impact, transforming scuba diving into a popular past-time for the young and trendy seemingly overnight.
Connery would remake the novel, many years later, for the rogue production Never Say Never Again.

GC: Friday NBA Power System Side
0 Reply | 275 ViewsOn 04/06/2012 12:03 PM in NBA
On Friday the free NBA System play is on Oklahoma City. Game 701 at 7:05 eastern. This is a bad time to face the Thunder as they come in off back to back losses for just the second time this season. They qualify in a nice system here that plays on road favorites of -4 or less with 1 day of rest and a total of 190 or more while scoring 90 r more in their last game, if the opponent shot 45% or higher on the road these teams have cashed 12 of 16 times. The Pacers are 3-6 vs teams who average 99 or more and OKC has covered 3 of 4 off back to back spread losses and 11 of 15 in non conference games. Look for Oklahoma City to get back on track here tonight. On Friday we start the weekend off Big with the 20-1 Western Conference NBA Total of the Month, a 5* NBA Blowout system and a Rare Never lost system side dating to 1995, 3 big NBA Plays and a Reasonably priced MLB Road Warrior Side with a big Pitching Edge and Power Angle. Jump on now and start the weekend off Big. For the Free play take Oklahoma City. GC

Was all excited to use the band at my next work out. I found it very inconsistent. I work out very hard and the results on the band were not what I would expect them to be. If you go on a stair stepper for 45 min it things you have not done anything as your arms are not moving. I disagree as my heart rate and sweat can prove that. So you need to move it to your shoe on the elliptical and stair masters.
After using it in tennis, boxing and cross training and not seeing the results that I feel I put in I stopped wearing it. I just became to frustrated. After 2 weeks it did not motivate me anymore to keep moving, it just got me mad. If you find yourself yelling at your wrist telling it "I am not lazy, I have been moving!" your not alone! Or maybe I have other issues :)

Height: 5'9" Weight: 188 Age: 25 Experience: 3rd season College: Florida Drafted: n/a
Posted: 8/14/2013 6:39pm et
Miami Dolphins PK Caleb Sturgis has won the kicker job after the team decided to release PK Dan Carpenter.
Huddle Up: Sturgis was Miami's fifth-round pick, so he was the favorite to win the job all along. Sturgis has a strong leg and made 80 percent of his kicks during his college career at Florida. He isn't considered a fantasy starter at the moment but that could change if Miami's offense improves this season. Carpenter will almost certainly catch on with another team at some point this year.
Posted: 8/2/2013 11:27pm et
Miami Dolphins PK Caleb Sturgis showed improvement in practice Friday, Aug. 2, connecting on all of his kicks from 42, 47 and 52 yards out.
Huddle Up: Sturgis had been sidelined with a groin injury and incumbent Dan Carpenter is having a solid training camp thus far. The Dolphins used a fifth-round draft pick on Sturgis, so if he kicks well in camp and in preseason games, he will likely win the job over Carpenter. Sturgis has a strong leg and he made 80% of his kicks during his career at Florida. The rookie would have some sneaky fantasy value if he beats out Carpenter.

Today's post will be a quickie update.
Enjoy Life is on its way to Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, CA. This is the world's largest trade show for the natural products industry, held each year in southern California. At this show, over 60,000 people will be in attendance, including all of the store owners and buyers who make the decisions as to what products will be on their shelves.
All companies in the natural products industry, from huge behemoths like General Mills, to small start-ups who formulate their granola in their Portland kitchen, will be in attendance trying to convince retailers that their product is the one that HAS to be on the store shelf. Not easy to do, as we are all vying for the attention of the retail executives and store owners as they walk through literally thousands of booths of great-tasting products.
As Kasey Moss, our Senior Marketing Manager stated in an internal email the other day, this is our Super Bowl. This is when we have to look our best, be our best, tell the best story, and convince the retailers that there are literally hundreds of thousands (millions!) of people waiting for the next Enjoy Life product to be introduced. The more vocal our customers are, the easier it is to share the story. At the end, it is all about winning. Winning the hearts and minds of the retailers, so you, our customers, have a better tasting, more extensive selection of Enjoy Life products for you and your family.
Over the next few days, we'll share some quick posts from the show, including previews of our brand-spanking new products. Exciting times at Enjoy Life as we introduce one of the best-tasting, most decadent products we have ever developed. More on that over the next couple of days.
If you are at the show, make sure you stop by Booth #3950 to say hello. If you are not fortunate enough to attend (sorry, the show is only open to the trade, no consumers), visit our Facebook page over the next five days as we continue to update photos, videos and posts to allow you to be at the show with us, at least virtually.
On our way to Anaheim…

A seven-week diagnostic was conducted in Melbourne, Manila and Bangalore to assess the current state of the HR shared services operations in a number of key areas, including strategy, organization, people, process and technology. The diagnostic was conducted using a five-phase approach: data collection, data validation, gap assessment, prioritization of pain points and proposal of recommendations, and development of an implementation roadmap. This five-phase approach gave the client visibility of the assessment results throughout the engagement.
The Operational Excellence Process Maturity assets of Accenture's BPO organization helped Accenture do in-depth assessments of each of the shared service center's HR service areas. Accenture BPO's Operational Excellence Framework was also used to determine the maturity of the HR global shared service organization's processes. In addition, Accenture's Integrated Service Delivery Framework was customized for the client's HR global shared service organization's operations.
Based on the outcome of the assessments, the Accenture team proposed a number of recommendations that can help:
Improve day-to-day operations and enhance process maturity across identified areas.
Lift customer service levels and reduce business "noise".
Optimize processes and tools to improve delivery capability.
Improve and align service management and governance across all identified areas.
Reduce the cost of delivery.

Waubonsie Valley's Anthony Napolitano slams Neuqua Valley's DJ Warkentheen into the mat on Friday, January 4, 2013, at Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville IL. | Terence Guider-Shaw~For Sun-Times Media
With a dual meet win over Neuqua Valley on Jan. 4, Waubonsie Valley clinched the Upstate Eight Valley title, and a win over Bartlett on Jan. 11 gave the Warriors a perfect 6-0 conference record this year.
"Winning the division was great to see and experience for the first time with these guys," Warriors coach Brad Caldwell said. "They really have dedicated themselves since last year and it has paid off for them."
The Warriors dual record sits at 19-8; they'll take a break from dual action at the two-day Upstate Eight Conference meet, which begins Friday at Batavia.
Jimmy Davis (132) has a 32-3 record heading into Batavia, while five Warriors have put 20-plus matches in the win column this year. Howard Beatty (138) is 27-4, Anthony Napolitano (195) is 26-5, Jake Laws (160) is 23-12, Mitch Kroening (170) is 23-10, and Anthony Touchstone (220) is 22-6 on the year.
"We had some sickness and some injuries change some of our lineup this last week, so we knew some people would have to step up for us against Bartlett, and they did," Caldwell said. "Kroening, Jack Timberlake (182), and Joey Rodriguez (285) all won big matches for us and Howard [Beatty] lost to Sal Annoreno, a returning state champ, but he wrestled a tough match."
The Warriors then will compete in a quad at Neuqua Valley on Jan. 24 before regionals begin on Feb. 2, when both Waubonsie and Neuqua will compete at the Class 3A Bolingbrook Regional.
Naperville Central finished second on Saturday at a 22-team tournament hosted by Mahomet-Seymour, with Ryan Berg (24-4 at 195) and Luke Roth (23-0 at 220) winning individual titles. Roth won a 9-3 decision on the title mat over previously-unbeaten Stu Landin (23-1) of Andrew.
Belleville West won the team title, earning a 196-182.5 edge in team points over the Redhawks. Central got a fourth-place finish from Ben Williamson (132) while Shuji Mizoguchi (106), Derek Wilke (113), Louie Giovannetti (170) and Joe Saleh (285) each placed fifth.
Neuqua Valley went 2-1 at the Lockport Mega Dual tournament on Saturday, winning 39-23 over Geneva and 40-31 over Oswego before losing 43-30 to Bolingbrook. Metea Valley also went 2-1 at Lockport, with wins over Bolingbrook and Geneva, and a loss to Glenbard North.

...the cult is obvious and evidence of its existence has been noted time and again on this site.
You miss Greenwald's point. This is not an issue about "teams." That would be nothing new. What distinguishes the current situation from previous ones is not loyalty to a team, e.g., the GOP, the conservative cause, but loyalty to George Bush. Adoration of Bush.
The loyalty is not to Bush, but to the team, including the most prominent player, the quarterback, the de facto team leader. The loyalty is to the team, regardless of the figurehead who calls the plays.
The loyalty is not to Bush, but to the team, including the most prominent player
The loyalty is not to Bush, but to the team, including the most prominent player, the quarterback, the de facto team leader. The loyalty is to the team, regardless of the figurehead who calls the plays.
Miers, immigration etc.... you'd have to be blindly partisan not to recognize the heat Bush has taken from this supposed "cult".
She was discarded because she wasn't seen as being sufficiently loyal to Bush and his ideas.
George Bush is merely the revered leader of a GOP gone populist, and while he embodies that movement, he did/does not generate or sustain it by functioning as a "charismatic leader."
You know, Tony, there is in the past, it's not always there, but sometimes it glimmers with this man, our president, that kind of sunny nobility.
I like him. Everybody sort of likes the president, except for the real whack-jobs, maybe on the left — I mean — like him personally.
She was discarded because the majority of critics argued she was unqualified, they were right, and Miers had the good grace to understand her nomination was going nowhere and withdraw.
"The ongoing debate continues surrounding the attempt to once again criminalize abortions or to once and for all guarantee the freedom of the individual women's [sic] right to decide for herself whether she will have an abortion. Questions about what can be taught or done in public places or public schools are presented frequently to the courts. ... The underlying theme in most of these cases is the insistence of more self-determination. And the more I think about these issues, the more self-determination makes the most sense."
"Miers hardly seems the true believer the Republican base was anticipating when the president's agents spread the word last week that his choice would please conservatives. In 1988, she was contributing to Al Gore's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee. She is listed as chairman of a 1998 American Bar Association committee that recommended legalization of gay adoptions and establishment of an International Criminal Court."
I don't know that it's blind loyalty to President Bush as much as it is that the people on the right understand that this is who we elected as our President, and it would be ridiculous to NOT support our president. It's such a stupid, useless game, yet the left continues to play.
For example, there are die hard supporters of George Bush out there right who see no problem with the massive deficits he is running up. 10 years ago, many of these same people were deficit hawks.
As I believe Greenwald pointed out, the Miers' unnomination proves his point. She was discarded because she wasn't seen as being sufficiently loyal to Bush and his ideas. There was this idea that she might think for herself on the court, think differently from Bush, and the cultists were having none of that.
The War in Iraq is the best evidence of the Bush cult. No matter how badly things go in Iraq, the Bush cult members will blame every entity under the sun but Bush.
There are many followers who like/love GWB solely on his personality. You hear it time and time again from Right-wing talk radio.
