NEW ORLEANS -- Playing without No. 1 overall draft pick Anthony Davis, Ryan Anderson scored 17 of his team-high 27 points in the second period to lift the New Orleans Hornets to a 114-105 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Monday. The Hornets raced to a 25-point halftime lead with outstanding perimeter shooting, but Davis limped off the court with a sprained left ankle just before halftime. Davis had 11 points and six rebounds in the first half, but he was wincing in pain as the Hornets medical staff looked at his left foot. Davis missed 11 consecutive games earlier this season with a stress reaction in the same ankle. He did not play in the second half, and the injury was diagnosed as a sprain. The Hornets (14-27) blew open the game in the first half by making seven 3-pointers on their way to a 64-39 halftime lead. Anderson, the NBA leader in made 3s, was 5-of-8 from long range in the second quarter, scoring 17 of his 19 first-half points in the quarter. Anderson hit hi...

From the author of the best-selling One Minute to Midnight , a riveting account of the pivotal six-month period spanning the end of World War II, the dawn of the nuclear age, and the beginning of the Cold War.
When Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill met in Yalta in February 1945, Hitler's armies were on the run and victory was imminent. The Big Three wanted to draft a blueprint for a lasting peace—but instead set the stage for a forty-four-year division of Europe into Soviet and western spheres of influence. After fighting side by side for nearly four years, their political alliance was rapidly fracturing. By the time the leaders met again in Potsdam in July 1945, Russians and Americans were squabbling over the future of Germany and Churchill was warning about an "iron curtain" being drawn down over the Continent.
These six months witnessed some of the most dramatic moments of the twentieth century: the cataclysmic battle for Berlin, the death of Franklin Roosevelt, the discovery of the Nazi concentration camps, Churchill's electoral defeat, and the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan. While their armies linked up in the heart of Europe, the political leaders maneuvered for leverage: Stalin using his nation's wartime sacrifices to claim spoils, Churchill doing his best to halt Britain's waning influence, FDR trying to charm Stalin, Truman determined to stand up to an increasingly assertive Soviet superpower.
Six Months in 1945 brilliantly captures this momentous historical turning point, chronicling the geopolitical twists behind the descent of the iron curtain, while illuminating the aims and personalities of larger-than-life political giants. It is a vividly rendered story of individual and national interests in fierce competition at a seminal moment in history.

The thyroid gland produces 2 hormones.. what are they?
Thyroid hormones (T3 and T4)
Calcitonin |
Thyroid gland
Triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) = thyroid hormones. -what do they control? |
-both hormones increase metabolism, which causes an increase in oxygen use and heart production in all tissues.
The hypothalamus secretes thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH triggers the release of what? from where?
the anterior pituitary gland to secrete thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) which stimulates the thyroid gland to make and release thyroid hormones.
If the thyroid hormone levels are high, TSH release is inhibited. If thyroid hormone levels are low, TSH release is increased |
Thyroid gland
-Calcitonin does what? |
Calcitonin lowers serum calcium and serum phosphorus levels by reducing bone reabsorption (breakdown)
The serum calcium level determines calcitonin secretion. Lower serum calcium levels inhibit the release of calcitonin. Elevated serum calcium levels increase its secretion |
What 2 things in one's diet is needed to produce thyroid hormones (T3 and T4)
intake of protein and iodine
A metabolic imbalance that results from what?. |
excessive thyroid hormone (T3 and T4) secretion.
-most common form is: -which is an increase in what? |
"Grave's Disease" (aka: Thyrotoxicosis),
-increases T4 production |
Graves diseae -an increase in T4 production causes multisystem changes, such as: (3 major ones) |
enlargement of the thyroid gland (goiter),
exophthalmos (abnormal protrusion of the eyes, pretibial myxedema (dry waxy swelling of the front surfaces of the lower legs) |
Graves disease -Diagnosis: why would antibodies be present? |
graves disease is an autoimmune disorder in which antibodies are made and attach to the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor sites on the thyroid tissue.
-When these antibodies bind to the thyroid gland, the gland increases in size and overproduces thyroid hormones. |
Graves Disease/Hyperthyroidism
What is pretibial myxedema look like |
dry, waxy, swollen skin
Why could a thyroid storm occur?
when hyperthyroidism is poorly controlled or when the pt is severely stressed.
Thyroid storm
what are some triggers? |
stressors such as:
- trauma, -infection, -DKA, -pregnancy, -exposure to iodine, -radioactive iodine therapy |
Thyroid storm
-what causes the s/s? |
excessive thyroid hormone release dramatically increases metabolic rate.
Thyroid storm
-Hyperthermia – up to 106 degrees F
-Severe systopilc hypertension b/c of vasoconstriction -Delirium (confusion) -N/V, abdominal pain, tremors, anxiety is high -Severe tachycardia can lead to cardiac arrhythmias -Dyspnea on exertion & even at rest! |
Lab assessment -TSH: -Thyroid hormones (T3 & T4) |
TSH: low
T3/T4: high |
Lab assessment What will an idodine thyroid scan show: |
if the cause is a single nodule or the whole gland
Lab assessment What does a thyroid scan show? |
evaluates the position, size, and functioning of the thyroid gland.
-the goals of medical management are to decrease the effect of thyroid hormones on what? what else do we want to reduce? |
cardiac function and to reduce thyroid hormone secretion.
initial treatment is what? |
Drug therapy with antithyroid drugs
Drug therapy with antithyroid drugs. The preferred drugs are what? -what are 2 examples? |
-The preferred drugs are the thionamides
-PTU (propylthiouracil), & Tapazole (methimazole) |
Drug therapy: What do antithyroid drugs do? |
block thyroid hormone production by preventing iodide binding in the thyroid gland.
–-PTU also prevents T4 from being converted to the more powerful T3 in the tissues |
Iodine preparations may be used for what? what does iodine do to the thyroid gland? |
short term therapy before surgery.
They decrease blood flow through the thyroid gland, reducing the production and release of the thyroid hormone. |
Drug therapy: besides antithyroid drugs, what other class of drugs can you use? what do these drugs do? |
beta adrenergic blocking drugs, such as propranolol (Inderal), used for:
supportive theray These drugs relieve anxiety, diaphoresis, tachycardia, & palpitations but do NOT inhibit thyroid hormone production. |
drug therapy: Lithium what does it do? |
inhibits thyroid hormone release but it's use is limited because of SE such as depression diabetes insipdius, tremors, nausea and vomiting.
-It can be used for a pt who cannot tolerate other antithyroid drugs |
Radioactive Iodine Therapy (RAI)
-who is this contraindicated in |
-Contraindicated in pregnant women b/c it crosses the placenta and can damage the fetal thyroid gland.
Radioactive Iodine Therapy (RAI)
What does this do to the thyroid gland? when may the patient see relief? |
Thyroid gland picks up the RAI & some cells that produce the thyroid hormone are destroyed by the local radiation.
Since the thyroid gland stores thyroid hormone, the patient may not see complete symptom relief until 6-8 weeks after treatment. |
Radioactive Iodine Therapy (RAI)
May need a second or third dose! What is the negative effect does this therapy have? |
Some patients may become hypothyroid which then require lifelong thyroid hormone replacement.
Radioactive Iodine Therapy (RAI)
Radioactive iodine kills. It burns the thyroid gland up and kill it. the gland dies and the pituitary gland doesn't know it died so it stimulated TSH production and numbers rise. Now we have hypothyroid and need thyroid supplement. Person is on lifelong treatment |
Antithyrodi drugs and RAI therapy are now the most common treatments for patients with hyperthyroidism.
what may be needed for patients who have a larger goiter or a secreting tumor causing tracheal or esophageal compression or who do not have a good response to antithyroid drugs? |
Thyroidectomy which is the removal of all or part of the thyroid tissue decreases the production of the thyroid hormones.
If it's all removed, must take life-long thyroid replacements. |
-Pre-Op treatment: what is the patient treated with? what is used for treatment? (2) |
the patient is treated with drug therapy first to have near normal thyroid function (euthyroid) before thyroid surgery.
This state is achieved with with antithyroid drugs that decrease the secretion of thyroid hormones. IN addition, iodine preparations are used to decrease thyroid size and vascularity, thereby reducing the risk for hemorrhage and the potential for thyroid storm during surgery |
Post-Op care: -monitoring the pt for complications is the most important nursing action after thyroid surgery -how often should VS be monitored? -assess respiratory status for what? |
- monitor vitals signs every 15 minutes until the patient is stable and then every 30 minutes
-cough and deep breathe every 30 min-1hr. assess for stridors |
-support head and avoid tension on sutures...use -assess the dressing and monitor for: |
pillows to support head and neck
hemorrhage |
-monitor their voice change..why? |
laryngeal nerve damaged could happen which results in hoarseness and a weak voice
-thyroid surgery can cause what: 3 things |
respiratory distress, parathyroid gland injury |
Accidential removal of the parathyroid gland causes injury. -what do you have to watch for: |
resulting in hypocalcemia and tetany
tetany is hyperexcitablity of nerves and muscles, or twitching secondary to accidental removal of parathyroids |
-a state of decreased metabolism resulting from what? |
-low levels of Thyroid hormone
When the production of thyroid hormones is too low or absent, the blood levels of TH are very low and the pt has a decreased metabolic state. This lowered metabolism causes what?? |
the anterior pituitary gland to make stimulatory hormones such as TSH in an attempt to trigger hormone release for the poorly responsive thyroid gland.
WHAT DOES THE TSH BIND TOO? -The TSH binds to thyroid cells and causes the thyroid gland to enlarge, forming a goiter, although thyroid hormone production does not increase |
-Can be caused by: (4) |
autoimmune thyroiditis,
thyroidectomy, radioactive iodine therapy, antithyroid meds |
can occur secondary to what? |
a tumor
-Low metabolic rate causes the cellular energy to be decreased and metabolites do what in the cells? |
-build up inside the cells. WHICH CAUSES WHAT?
-which increases the mucous and water, forms ceullular edema, and changes organ texture. The edema is mucinous (called myxedema). This edema changes the pts appearance. WHAT KIND OF EDEMA FORMS EVERYWHERE? nonpitting edema forms everywhere. |
Myxedema coma is a rare but seriosu complications of what?
untreated or poorly treated hypothyroidism.
The decreased metabolism causes what to the heart???? heart to become flabby and the result is decreased cardiac output, perfusion to the brain and other vital organs. This decreased perfusion makes the already slowed cellular metabolism worse, resulting in what???? tissue and organ failure. |
-Lab diagnostics TSH: T3 & T4: thyroid antibodies: |
TSH is elevated
t3 & t4 are below normal may be present or elevated |
Interventions for hypothyroidism
observe and record the rate and depth of _______. Measure oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry |
Interventions for hypothyroidism

WHAT CAN THEY DO??? (can make respiratory difficulties worse) |
Interventions for hypothyroidism
-administer what?? -try to relieve what??? -what do they have a hard time doing?? |
-Administer fluids cautiously.
-Relieve constipation (increase fiber and fluid intake) -Hard time losing weight, they need to exercise -Monitor temperature, resp, assistance prn -Institute infection control methods |
Interventions for hypothyroidism
Teaching: the most important education need is about what?? instruct the patient to not take what? |
hormone replacement therapy and its SE.
Emphasize the need for lifelong drugs and teach the patient to wear a medical alert bracelet. Instruct the patient to not take any over the counter drugs. |
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is also known as
(Chronic Thyroditis)
-Thyroditis is an inflammation of the thyroid gland. |
-Most common type of hypothyroidism is:
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder that is usually triggered by what
a bacterial or viral infection
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
TSH: increased
t3 and t4: low -When large amounts of the gland are destroyed, serum thyroid hormone levels are low and secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is increased |

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
The pt is given what? |
thyroid hormone to prevent hypothyroidism and suppress TSH secretion, which decreases the size of the thyroid gland.

Parathyroid Gland: secretes what hormone?
-Secretes parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Parathyroid Gland
-what 2 electrolyte levels does this control? |
-Controls Calcium & Phosphorus levels
by acting on bone, kidney, and the intestinal tract. The bone is the major storage site of calcium. |
Parathyroid Gland
-how does PTH increase serum calcium? |
PTH increases bone resorption (bone release of calcium into the blood from bone storage sites), thus increasing serum calcium.
Parathyroid Gland
In the kidneys, how does PTH absorrb calcium? |
activates vitamin D, which increases the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestines.
Parathyroid Gland
In the kidney tubules, how does PTH absorb calcium? |
In the kidney tubules, PTH allows calcium to be reabsorbed and put back into the blood

This Mount Vernon glass suncatcher ornament was handcrafted in Virginia using the same methods used in George Washington's time. One of the most interesting features of George Washington's home is the cupola, complete with its dove of peace weather vane perched atop the Mansion. This final embellishment for the house was added in the autumn of 1787. Washington ordered the weather vane from a craftsman in Philadelphia, where he was presiding over the Constitutional Convention. Made in America.

There are a lot of subtleties at work. I'm not surprised by the survey results.
The whole Adwords process is designed to blend in with organic results. Try making inappropriate use of a superlative, otherwise known as writing an ad. The use of "sponsored" vs. "advertisement" is a red herring issue.

College Basketball: 5 Players Facing a "Put Up or Shut Up" 2011-2012 Season
By Eric Hampford ,
Florida State's Michael Snaer
Every year, there are several players at the college level who inevitably aren't living up to the standard set forth by their coaches, the media, their school's fans, or all of the above.
In an age where kids are hyped before they reach middle school and are treated like professional athletes before they earn their high school diploma, there are bound to be a fair share of players who never pan out. They get comfortable within the limelight, and never acquire the work ethic requisite of a top player.
Fortunately for college athletes, there are four years to prove that they are worth the fanfare and praise bestowed upon them.
This year, there are five—actually six—power conference players who are in need of an enormous season if they don't want to receive the dreaded "bust" label.
Once the No. 1 player in his high school class, this is Mr. Sidney's last shot in Starkville.
He has had no shortage of problems since arriving in 2009 as the program's most heralded recruit in history. The trouble started soon after.
Sidney was declared ineligible for the entire 2009-2010 season, then another 30% of the 2010-2011 season. Once he finally could suit up for the Bulldogs, he was suspended on two separate occasions by head coach Rick Stansbury.
First, he was suspended for one game because of an outburst with a teammate during practice. Then came the national headline-inducing incident. While playing on television at the Diamond Head Classic in Las Vegas, cameras caught Sidney and teammate Elgin Bailey fighting in the stands. This landed the enigmatic star another suspension from Stansbury.
After the dust had cleared, he ended up averaging 14.2 points and 7.6 rebounds for the Bulldogs, showing glimpses of his still-enormous potential. Over the summer, he trained with John Lucas, who only enhanced the public view that Sidney has the talent to be as good as he wants to be. Lucas went on record to say that only Kobe and LeBron are more talented than Renardo Sidney is (Sporting News).
Only time will tell if he can finally live up to the hype. As the centerpiece of a talented Mississippi State team this upcoming season, he has the perfect opportunity. Look for this to be Renardo Sidney's final college season.
Whether he makes a lasting impression on the college basketball world is his choice.
The Wear brothers get a re-do on their college careers this season when they suit up for the UCLA Bruins.
Coming out of high school as 2009 McDonald's All-Americans and consensus top 20 recruits, their freshman seasons didn't live up to their lofty billing.
Both saw spotty playing time for the North Carolina in 2009-10, averaging less than four points per contest. Unhappy with their situation, both ended up transferring at the culmination of that season.
Now back home in sunny Southern California, they look to get their careers back on track. The 6'10", 220 pound forwards will look to make noise in a crowded and talented Bruins frontcourt. Look for them to play both small and power forward for the Pac-12 power.
Florida State Seminole 6'5" shooting guard Michael Snaer is a classic example of what's wrong with grassroots media exposure.
Not only did he come out of high school with an amount of praise that he could not possibly live up to, but he was also overvalued as a potential "one and done" NBA prospect before ever playing a college game.
While the junior hasn't had a bad career in Tallahassee (he has a career average of 8.8 points per game), he also hasn't quite lived up to what was expected of him out of the prep ranks. The one-time top 10 prospect is now looking to lead the Seminoles offense with Chris Singleton off to the NBA. It's now or never for the athletic and powerful two-guard.
Syracuse sophomore Fab Melo came into last season as the Preseason Big East Rookie of the Year. What followed was a disappointing season in which the 7-footer failed to live up to those considerable expectations. The 250-pound center is blessed with a rare knack for shot blocking—a skill very few college and professional centers possess in their arsenal.
Though he showed flashes of his enormous potential last season, including 12 points in a Big East Tournament victory over St. John's, it wasn't enough to make Orange fans forget his lackluster season.
This year, look for him to attempt to put the whole package together, teaming with another extraordinary shot blocker in incoming freshman Rakeem Christmas.
The Florida Gators scored big when former Rutgers star Mike Rosario decided last year to take his talents to South Beach—scratch that, Gainesville—to play for Billy Donovan's program. The redshirt junior spent his first two years of eligibility living in relative anonymity while scoring over 1,000 points in just two college seasons for Rutgers.
Playing for the typically cellar dwelling program—Rosario was originally from New Jersey, and was a McDonald's All-American out of high school, making his decision even more of a head-scratcher—the sizzling shooter decided he was ready to head out of state and change to a winning program, which made the University of Florida an exceptional choice.
However, ditching your teammates for greener pastures isn't the most popular or noble thing to do. Therefore, look for many to root against Rosario, putting even more pressure on him to perform. He also must adjust to not being the unanimous number one scoring option on his new team.
It's easy to lead the JV team in scoring, but can you do it at the varsity level? I guess Mike Rosario will let the SEC know in the coming months.

OCBA Stands & Is Counted: Protecting Attorney-Client Privilege
July 11, 2006
OCBA is proud to have recently participated in the vigorous and highly successful efforts of the organized bar, including both the New York State Bar Association as well as the American Bar Association, in protesting a 2005 enactment by the United States Sentencing Commission which would have given sanction to an ongoing practice of the United States Justice Department requiring targeted corporations to waive attorney-client and work product privileges. Because of the strong protests which were lodged, the Sentencing Commission voted on April 12, 2006 to rescind this policy (USSG §8C2.5).
The Justice Department and the U.S. Attorneys around the country still maintain policies which may require such waivers and the local OCBA Task Force (co-chaired by Edward Z. Menkin and OCBA President Ellen Weinstein, and including Scott Porter, Kevin McCormack, Jim McGowan, Ken Moynihan and Federal Defender Alex Bunin) is in the process of engaging the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District (Hon. Glenn Suddaby) in an ongoing dialogue concerning the implementation of such a policy. The text of a recent letter the Task Force has written to the U.S. Attorney can be found here.
Additionally, a recent case decision has impacted the "Thompson Memorandum" as well as Attorney-Client Privilege in United States vs. Jeffrey Stein.

Michael Jordan Gives Back To Charlotte StudentsCHARLOTTE,NC--There was a roaring welcome for a surprise guest at west Charlotte high school Thursday. Bobcats owner Michael Jordan Presented $5,000 Y-Achievers scholarships to a few lucky students. The Bobcats partnered with Fox Sports South and donated $200,000 to the YMCA's education program. Jordan says it's something the Bobcats haven't been doing enough of, "over the last two or three years we kinda revved it up a little bit," " to give back to the community," "because I felt like the integration between us and the community was not strong." And I felt like it had to be strong," say Jordan. Jordan also presented scholarships at west Meck and Vance high schools. Players and staff volunteered in classrooms as a part of Cats Care Day of Service. |

I don't fall in to the anti-princess view of things. Sitting around and pointing fingers at Disney is the lazy way out. Princess movies don't set up girls for a life of disappointment, bad parents do. Same goes for video game violence. Violent video games don't lead to people to go off on a killing spree. If you use it as an opportunity to teach your kids valuable lessons, there is little harm involved. That said, Disney heard the complaints about the princesses and listened. And came back with another princess? They did and it's well done. Sofia is voiced by Ariel Winter from ABC's Modern Family and airs on Disney Junior, the channel aimed and the young child set. The lessons learned by Sofia in these episodes provide a nice catalyst for conversation with
Read More »Disney Junior's Doc McStuffins is very popular in our house and with good reason. It's a pretty damn good show. It has a definite Toy Story vibe with the toys coming to life, but that's a minor quibble. I mean, if you're gonna bogart an idea, you might as well bogart from the gold standard. As a father of two daughters it's hard to ask for a better role model on television for the 2-5 year old set than Doc McStuffins. She's smart and takes charge when things go wrong. It's a cute, creative, fun show with positive role models all around. There is very little to dislike about the show. If you're a fan of the show, this is a no-brainer. If you're not and you need a starting point, this is a pretty
Read More »I recently had the absolute pleasure to join in on a HuffPost Live Chat with singer/songwriter and actress, Bridgit Mendler. She's a total sweetheart. Bridgit stars on the hit Disney series, Good Luck Charlie. However, like many of the young actors and actresses appearing on Disney sitcoms these days, Bridgit is first and foremost a musician. She sings and plays guitar and she's really good at both talents. My kids are both right at the age where they watch the same tv programs. We actually watch Good Luck Charlie as a family. It reminds me of my younger days when I would watch Growing Pains or The Cosby Show together with my family. I often make the comment that I think Good Luck Charlie should be on network television but I won't complain too much

If you have daughters—or sons who don't care about outmoded gender roles (and if so, good on you, man)—there is a 90 percent chance that at some point during your day, you're going to have to watch something with unicorns in it. The key is to find a unicorn-based entertainment which your picky-as-to-unicorns children and you, a reasonable adult, can watch together and enjoy as much as possible. It's actually not that hard. My Little Pony – Friendship is Magic: Royal Pony Wedding comes out on DVD from SHout! Kids on August 7. A two-hour length special miniseries of five episodes from the shockingly popular, actually pretty hip and funny The Hub channel's 2010 reboot of the fanciful '80s series, it's both unicorn heavy (the way MLP always should have been!)

As TechCrunch reports, the new-look Rainbow tries to bring books to life using a few methods your kids will already be familiar with (interactive menus, animation) and at least one they most likely won't recognize (Burton himself, who hosts segments they're calling "video field trips").

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A new plan to build a mixed-use stadium along Buffalo's Outer Harbor has officially been presented to the Buffalo Common Council.
A team from Greater Buffalo Sports and Entertainment Complex made their case to council Tuesday afternoon.
Their plan calls for a stadium with a retractable dome, a convention center and a museum run by Strong in Rochester.
Those behind the plan say the Bills could play there during the season and concerts and other events would be held at the venue year round.
HKS Sports and Entertainment, a firm out of Dallas, was hired to design the stadium.
YNN's Jon Dougherty has more on one man's effort to make it a reality.
Many fans will tell you there is nothing like game day at Ralph Wilson Stadium, but the nearly 40-year-old stadium is in need of repairs, which officials estimate would cost more than $200 million.
The Bills and Erie County are currently in the middle of lease negotiations, but there's once again renewed talks about building a new stadium within the city of Buffalo.
"Ralph Wilson Stadium is only used seven to nine times a year," Pat Freeman a downtown stadium supporter said. "We're talking about a facility that can be used year round and can bring in revenue to the region and offset your commitment of having an NFL team."
Freeman said he's formed a first class development team that has put together a design and financial proposal, outlining the construction of a mixed-use facility within the city limits. Freeman presented the proposal at Tuesday's Common Council Community Development Committee meeting. He said it's similar to Indianapolis, the city that hosted the last Super Bowl.
"That week alone it brought in $642 million to that region. That's just Super Bowl week. So now we become a player in major events," Freeman said.
Reactions from Bills fans at Sunday's game were mixed.
Robs Pontillo said, "I'd love to see it down there. With everything else that's going on downtown with the waterfront and all the new buildings that are coming in, it'd be fun."
Lindsay Pihach said, "I don't think that they should do it because Ralph Wilson Stadium has been here for so long and I think it has a tradition here and atmosphere here that I don't think you can get somewhere else."
Pat Freeman wouldn't give numbers but said a good portion of the proposed stadium would be privately funded, and would benefit the entire region.
"This is going to be a magnet of economic development and the time is right right now," Freeman said. "We have the leadership in place to get this done so let's do it!"
Freeman calls the plan a "game-changer". He also said it would help keep the Bills in Western New York for many years to come.

Sights and Sounds
by Mike Evans
The Terrific Ten
Well, the Mayans goofed. We didn't crash, burn or tilt upside down. So we have another year's worth of awesome music to embrace. But before doing that, let's check out the Best 10 of 2012.
10. RIVER CITY EXTENSION — Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Your Anger (June)
Delve into this varied album, with its roots rock, country vibes, folk overtones and indie aesthetics and you may forget you're listening to a band that hails from a place very close to the Jersey Shore. Sun is pure and engaging from start to finish.
9. GREEN DAY — Uno! (September)
I've been writing this column since 1996 and this is the first Green Day record to make the big list. Upon my initial listen, I couldn't believe how engrossing this album actually was. Sometimes keeping it loud and simple is the way to go. The best of the current trilogy and the band's finest in years!
8. BAT FOR LASHES — The Haunted Man (October)
Natasha Kahn's talents keep improving; getting sharper and gaining ground as both composer and performer. Haunted was the Brit's first great album; a confident cinematic collection of rhythmic highs and dramatic lows. Gloomy nights were made for this stuff.
7. HOT CHIP — In Our Heads (June)
Unlike many electronic outfits that tend to slip into a rut, England's Hot Chip never make the same album twice. Moods, outlooks and even subject matter seem to shift every couple of years. Heads was the band's banging "after dark" album, and that suited us just fine.
6. JACK WHITE — Blunderbuss (April)
Through his work with the Dead Weather, Raconteurs and now-defunct White Stripes, Jack White became one of rock's most prolific sons over the past decade. A solo career seemed the next logical step. Blunderbuss was more of the same yet surprisingly different. Hey, great rock is great rock.
5. CRYSTAL CASTLES – 3 (November)
Canadian electronic duo Crystal Castles managed somehow to become more melodic on their third outing while remaining just as fierce as they always were. Further blurring the lines between dance rhythms and punk's aggression, 3 also saw the addition of the overtly eerie — a wickedly good brew indeed.
4. TWO GALLANTS — The Bloom and the Blight (September)
California folk rockers Two Gallants proved that singer/songwriter stuff doesn't always have to sound wimpy or reserved. These guys brought on the fragile emotions and fat slabs of melancholy, but weren't afraid to turn up their guitars at the same time.
3. BEACH HOUSE — Bloom (May)
This Baltimore-based duo is not just a modern-day Cocteau Twins (although I would hardly consider that an insult). They're a male-female pairing taking dream pop to new places. Bloom wasn't a great leap forward for the two, but if the hypnotic formula mesmerizes, why change it?
2. ALLO DARLIN'— Europe (May)
I didn't review this album initially and for that, I sincerely apologize. To think, I almost missed recommending one of the loveliest twee and pure indie pop records I've heard in a long long time. Practically every cut is a lilting wonder. I can't help but sigh just thinking about it.
1. FIRST AID KIT — The Lion's Roar (January)
Meet the young and lovely Soderberg sisters — siblings capable of placing the most gorgeous harmonies across the most genuine of folk-tinged tunes. Roar was a classic slice of real country-flavored Americana; heartfelt music with a homespun twang. Not bad considering the girls hail from Sweden!

Today is the last day of the Paradigm Symposium, which is good — I don't know how much more my poor brain could take. But this afternoon, after lunch, it's my turn to speak.

I spent my first evening at the Paradigm Symposium last night. I've missed virtually all of the talks so far — I got to watch a panel about new media, podcasting and that sort of thing, and there wasn't too much novelty to it, but it was fine…except for the bits where they mentioned how …

Stephen Fry meets a 'reparative therapist'
Gentle bemusement and delicate debunking ensues. The question I always want to ask these people is whether the reverse is possible: whether with the right psychological tinkering, they themselves could be switched from heterosexual to homosexual. They always seem to be so certain that their conventional sexuality is such an intrinsic and essentialist part of …

Good work, Minnesota talk radio
For once, I approve. Corey Cove, a talk radio host on KFAN in Minneapolis had that shameful and shameless psychic fraud, Chip Coffey on his show…and he shredded the kook. None of that Oprah/Larry King style simpering credulity, he just ridiculed his predictions and demanded that he back up his claims with evidence. Coffey was …

How can smart atheists be bamboozled by Joseph Atwill?
Atwill is this guy who claims to have evidence that Jesus wasn't real: Christianity was a cunning product of a Roman imperial conspiracy, intentionally designed to placate those troublesome Jews, and he claims to have a Roman confession that he'll reveal next week. I think a few too many atheists are seeing "Scholar Says Jesus …

Are we done with Bigfoot yet?
Yeah, I think it's over. Ketchum's group — you know, the one that collected possum hairs and sequenced random garbage and called it Bigfoot — now is airing a Bigfoot video, supposedly the best evidence yet. You be the judge. They spent half a million dollars gathering that, and they couldn't even hand the camera …

The SETI boondoggle
Here's Seth Shostak pumping up SETI again, and now he's predicting contact with aliens within 20 or 25 years, or by 2030. I don't buy it for a minute, and I think his whole argument is ridiculous. As these guys always do, they have a small set of arguments. One is the argument from very …

Rebecca Watson will be on Atheists Talk

A vaccination survey
The survey on vaccination that's being held up by DJ Grothe is not out yet, but there's a preliminary summary that was made available. I learned something from even that one page summary: most anti-vaxxers actually do recognize that vaccination is protective, and their opposition is based on widespread misconceptions about side-effects and the evilness …

It's amazing how one play can totally change our outlook. The OT TD won the game and still leaves Hawkeye fans with optimism for the near and distant future. Whereas if they lose this game after dominating it in the early stages, it would be very difficult to salvage the season. Attendance, which already has been suffering, would have nose dived. And yes, right or wrong, Kirk Ferentz's grasp on this program could have been slipping out of his control with no ability to recover his reputation. No matter how much respect Barta has for KF he can't tolerate poor football attendance. I am sure I will be criticized by the Kool-Aid drinking fans for over-emphasizing this game. But in my opinion this was a pivotal game for an Iowa program trying to climb its way back to significance. A loss would have guaranteed insignificance for at least the remainder of this season. You can't lose to an 0-3 team in the conference at home and expect to be respected by anyone outside of your immediate fan base. At least not after coming off of an 4-8 season. Now instead of playing for pride against Wisconsin next week, Iowa can play for bowl positioning.
Hopefully it was also huge for the growth of our sophomore QB (Ruddock) who in my opinion had been performing admirably for a first year starter but the one thing that he had lacked was Stanzi-like clutch plays down the stretch of a game. Hopefully this was the beginning of many more in the next 2-1/2 years.
On a positive note the coaches do seem to do a good job of game-planning throughout the week because the Hawks play well in the first half. But we now see a trend of getting outplayed or out-coached in the 2nd half of games. It is apparent that opposing coaching staffs are making better half time and in game adjustments. There is just too much evidence to argue against this point.
I know right now I am still optimistic but I would be a liar if I didn't admit that half way through the 4th quarter I was thinking this program was being read its last rights and realistically wouldn't have the ability to come back to life without some major changes.

So it was a shock to many to find a planning application had been put in to the local authority, to set up a paintball leisure activity site in the woodland round the loch. It would include a caravan, two chemical toilets, three shelters and safety fences with gate - and lots of people. I was asked to comment on the wildlife. The birds are interesting as, apart from the usual Highland woodland birds such as redstarts, wood warblers and woodcock, there are rarities such as the Scottish crossbill that is believed to be the only bird endemic to Britain. Rarer mammals include the otter and the red squirrel with the latter listed as "endangered: declining" and has a specific biodiversity programme. The other major interest is the common toad colony - one of the largest in the Highlands. Each year on the short narrow stretch of road on the north side of the loch, more than 100 toads are killed, so any increase in traffic would increase these casualties. The toads leave the water and find holes and crevices to spend the winter, and with such a population they would be in hibernation sites throughout the woodland. The planning application comes before the Highland Council on May 10.

Definition of passepied in English:
Line breaks: passe|piedPronunciation: /ˌpasˈpɪeɪ
- A Breton dance similar to a quick minuet, popular in the 17th and 18th centuries.More example sentences
- Like other dances of rustic origin adopted by the court, the passepied was taken up by composers of stage music, including Lully, Campra, and Rameau.
- The quality of his D minor and B flat major suites, recorded here, is quite breathtaking: the final passepied of that in B flat alone sounds as fresh as if it had just come from Bach's pen.
French, from passer 'to pass' + pied 'foot'.

By Gary Smith
A week later Pat and Russ started bantering at the shooting range, and Pat laughed that unforgettable laugh -- his head jolting back, his eyes disappearing into that crinkly face, his hands clapping his thighs, a high-pitched hoo-hoo-hoo-hooooooo howling from his throat until his lungs gasped for air -- the laugh of a man who didn't give a rat's ass what you thought of him or the carnival.
Damn, Russ could talk Allen Ginsberg and Ralph Waldo Emerson with a big-time jock Army Ranger. He could let loose a side of himself that he'd bottled up the day two years earlier when he signed his enlistment papers, the Russell Baer who holed up in the latrine with his journal, or on an off day hunched over a coffee and a book and a notepad among strangers in a Seattle café. Pat loved oddballs -- writers, hippies, hermits, weed-smoking ballplayers -- who weren't afraid to show their asses, loved reading their quotes and anecdotes aloud and declaring, "Now that's something to live by," then scrawling a salty retort in the margin. At first it jarred Russ, whose reverence for literature didn't let him lay ballpoint to book page, but then he began to do likewise.
Pat just had that way, with colonels and coaches and Nobel Prize winners, too, of slicing through rank and reputation, of turning every encounter into nothing more or less than two human beings talking. Hell, the guy introduced himself to strangers simply as "Pat," and if they asked what he did before strapping it on for Uncle Sam, he'd say he studied some back at Arizona State and quickly ask about them, never mentioning the summa cum laude or the Pac-10 defensive player of the year award, and certainly not the NFL. And still, something about him made you walk away wanting to learn more, laugh more, run more, give more.
Who else showed up in a college assistant coach's office at 1 a.m., asking what he thought of Mormonism with such zest that both ended up reading the Book of Mormon so they could discuss it in detail? Who else in the NFL or the U.S. Army took a book everywhere, even on 10-minute errands, read The Communist Manifesto, Mein Kampf, the Bible and the Koran, so he could carve out his own convictions ... then bought you the book and picked a philosophical fight just to flush out some viewpoint that might push him to revise his, push him to evolve? Gays, for instance. By the last few years of his life, his narrow view of them as an adolescent had so altered that he would argue they were the most evolved form of man.
Most people, Russ felt, are just pieces of everybody else, off on some mimic's mission all their lives. It's as if there's a padlock on who they really are and just a few figure out the combination and then the whole damn thing pops open, the treasure of possibility becomes theirs. That was Pat, so ... so ... hell, even his mom, Mary, when she tried to get her arms around him, would just end up throwing them in the air. He was the most respectful gutter mouth you ever met, the politest man ever to reach across a restaurant table and dunk his sticky hands into your glass of water. So playful and so serious, so transparent and so mysterious, so kind and so frightening, so loud and so silent ... so juxtaposed, Mary would say. So at ease with himself that he could meet you wherever you were.
Where Russ was, just one week before the Black Sheep shipped out for the Iraq invasion, was on his belly in the rain on the shooting range, up to his elbows in mud and frustration, unable to dial in the optics on his SAW gun and hit the damn target for his weapons qualification even though he'd been handling that machine gun with ease for more than a year. Then Pat dropped to his knees and began encouraging him. Russ had spent most of his first 22 years marinating in negativity. His mother had cleared out five months after his birth, and his father, a 14-year Army man, had remarried eight years later to a career military woman with a short fuse. Russ had swallowed her anger, turned numb, then begun turning that anger outward, getting into fights and blaming others for his troubles, drifting from one school to another until age 16 ... then dropping out of school and home as well, moving to his grandparents' house, working three jobs and homeschooling himself, searching for some model of the man he ached to be.
Maybe he'd finally found that man. Russ relaxed as Pat knelt beside him, then realized that a loose screw on his sight was causing his misfires and began banging bull's-eyes. Their unit packed up a few days later, removed its mascot from the wall -- the mountain sheep's head that accompanied 2nd Platoon, Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment everywhere it went -- chucked it into a parachute bag and flew to Saudi Arabia. Pat, Kevin, Russ and the Black Sheep were going after Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction.
No, Russ isn't proud of this part, but it's too important to skip past. It happened in a tent in Saudi Arabia on the day the Black Sheep took perhaps the war's first casualty, just before the invasion began. Russ and Pat, monitoring radio reports from buddies who'd slipped into Iraq by helicopter, listened as the chopper crew chief was shot and one of their platoon mates took a bullet that ricocheted off his sternum and exploded out of his shoulder.
