Hi guys
I just happen to be a random guy with a dream I want to be good at drawing , since the first moment I saw anime my dream has always been to be an awesome anime artist and an awesome story teller I am planing to make a manga/book hybrid ,thats why I came here I have seen your art , and man I feel like you are art gods compared to this newbie :(.
I live in a country (Mexico) were finding a drawing school or a comunity college is virtualy imposible so I lack the privilege you guys had: a teacher
Basicaly my only choice is self taugh and as you can see here this is how i began http://mythicsonofgod.deviantart.com/#/d1ndefi yeah I know its awful
after this I tried loomis ,but honestly maybe I am talentless I dont know but for me he is waay to hard as learning chinese , even more for me as a teacherless newbie :(
then I decided to look at the tutrials at deviant art(I dont even know/knew were to begin) ,and with all I read this is the best drawing I have ever made:
as you can see I tried all proporptions and shading (tough those are fake shades I realy dont know much about shades).
So basicaly I am frustated I am completely lost, curently I am drawing portraits with proportions but I feel like I am trying to drink an ocean with a cup :( without a teacher I dont even know If I should practice more basic stuff or if I should start with something else, well basicaly I am very confused.
DO you guys have any advice for me becuase curretnly I am feeling that I will never draw good being self taugh and I realy want to acomplish my dream help?

Below is the final round of images from last month's full moon night photography workshop. Always interesting to hear which ones are your favorites!
The April full moon is coming up in a few days — have fun out there!
11 thoughts on "Pearsonville Junkyard, March 2009, Part II"
Love the stars in Pettibone and South Central. What were your camera settings for Pettibone? You really seem to be able to pull the stars into an image.
The stars to the SW were really bright — I shot two takes of Pettibone at 5 minutes each, and stacked the sky portion of the shot for 10 minute star trails. The South Central image was two takes at 10 minutes each stacked for 20 minute trails. The 10 minute exposures on the 5D Mark II were very clean without using in-camera noise reduction. A few of the images here have a selective contrast adjustment on the sky to bring out the star trails — this technique would probably be another interesting post-processing demo.
Yeah the interplay between the equipment shapes and the stars in pettibone really makes it. Nice mix of the cool and warm in 3 Kaiser.
I really like untitled #56 and untitled #69–the lighting is very dramatic and the moon is suggested just out of view at the top of the frame. I am also really liking "F"–that truck has an attitude which is conveyed beautifully here.
David D – Thanks!
David E – #56 and #69 use a similar technique where the overall image is underexposed, and only the light painted portions have a bright tonality. The blue sky becomes like a studio backdrop. Sometimes these translate better as a print than online. The F truck is one of my favorites, too.
Very nice work, Joe. It's impressive that you lead a workshop out there and also shot these photos.
I really like Untitled #56. The colors and tones are so clear and well defined on the cars. It's a nice, quiet moment that is also haunting. The sky is indeed a nice "backdrop".
I also like "Stay Out Of Here!" The bare tree branches add a lot of interest (spookiness is perhaps a better word).
Pettibone is another fav. I really like the star trails in this one. I like how you can still recognize Orion. I also like the depth in this scene and how the mountains add a "big" feel to it. I kinda wish the white truck on the left was much further back in the scene, it just seems a little close to me.
In all your recent Pearsonville work, the light painting is just damn good. I forget that I'm looking at objects that were hit with artificial light. Very well done!
TJ – Thanks for taking the time for the detailed comments. Forgetting that the scene was light painted is really one of the best compliments I could get on these images! Cheers – Joe
Joe, this work is amazing. Spectacular rich color and depth in each and every shot! You did these justice, that's for sure. I especially love this image's color palette.
the trails on pettibone couldn't be better. They draw your eye right into the big hunk o' metal. Very nice.
The last shot is perfect as well. The composition makes it happen. Nice job. -
untitled #69 & #26! Roar!
I know you like to go easy on the light painting but I prefer the added contrast that comes from it. #69 is lit really well and is very natural. It mimics a light source farther away that is reflecting off objects at the location. Nice job as always Joe.
Jody – thanks!
Chris – thanks!
Jay – appreciate the feedback! The lighting on #69 was one of the most complex setups, with pretty hard light.

Natural Biomolecules and Protein Aggregation: Emerging Strategies against Amyloidogenesis

Abstract: Biomolecular self-assembly is a fundamental process in all organisms. As primary components of the life molecular machinery, proteins have a vast array of resources available to them for self-assembly in a functional structure. Protein self-assembly, however, can also occur in an aberrant way, giving rise to non-native aggregated structures responsible for severe, progressive human diseases that have a serious social impact. Different neurodegenerative disorders, like Huntington's, Alzheimer's, and spongiform encephalopathy diseases, have in common the presence of insoluble protein aggregates, generally termed "amyloid," that share several physicochemical features: a fibrillar morphology, a predominantly beta-sheet secondary structure, birefringence upon staining with the dye Congo red, insolubility in common solvents and detergents, and protease resistance. Conformational constrains, hydrophobic and stacking interactions can play a key role in the fibrillogenesis process and protein–protein and peptide–peptide interactions—resulting in self-assembly phenomena of peptides yielding fibrils—that can be modulated and influenced by natural biomolecules. Small organic molecules, which possess both hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties able to bind to peptide/protein molecules through hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic and aromatic interactions, are potential candidates against amyloidogenesis. In this review some significant case examples will be critically discussed.

Inside Collection (Manual): Calculating Advanced Statistics
The first table in your SPSS output file should be a Descriptive Statistics table. You will see a column for M, SD, and n. This information should be used in your Results section.
Underneath the Descriptive Statistics table is a table labeled Correlations. This table reflects the Pearson rs for each independent variable with the dependent variable, as well as the interrelationships among all of the variables.
Of the relationships of the independent variable with the Wechsler Full Scale IQ 3 (the dependent variable in this example), Verbal 2 (Similarities) has the highest correlation, .768. In a stepwise regression procedure, this variable should be the first statistically significant predictor.
Next, you will see the Variables Entered/Removed table. We will not use the information in this table.
The table labeled Model Summary is an important table. This table is a summary of all of the steps entered/removed. Important columns in this table are:
Adjusted R Square
R Square Change
The Durbin-Watson statistic is a measure for significant residual autocorrelation. Ideally it should be close to 2. In our example, the Durbin-Watson statistic is 1.912. Therefore, this assumption has not been violated.
The Adjusted R Square column indicates the amount of variance that each model explains in the dependent variable (i.e., Wechsler Fll Scale IQ 3). The first model has the letter a next to it. This model contains a single independent variable, Verbal 2 (Similarities). If you recall, this variable has the highest Pearson r with the Wechsler Full Scale IQ 3. In this example, Verbal 2 (Similarities) accounts for 58.9% of the variance in the Wechsler Full Scale IQ 3.
Each model, from 1 to 10, depicts the addition of another statistically significant variable in predicting the Wechsler Full Scale IQ 3. The final model, 10, indicates that all 10 independent variables accounted for 99.6% of the variance in the Wechsler Full Scale IQ 3.
Next, examine the R Square Change column. Each value reflects the unique variance in the Wechsler Full Scale IQ 3 explained by each statistically significant predictor variable. For Model 1, Verbal 2 (Similarities) explained the most variance, 58.9%. In Model 2, Performance 4 (Block Design) added 18.0% of unique variance that it explained.
The final model, 10, only added 0.7% of additional variance explained.
The next table of importance is the ANOVA table. Each model is examined to determine the extent to which it explains a statistically significant amount of the variance in the dependent variable. Of interest to us is the very last model, 10, which shows a statistically significant result, F(10, 1122) = 31959.947, p < .001.
Underneath the ANOVA table is the Coefficients table. The important columns in this table are the Standardized Coefficients Beta and the Collinearity Statistics Tolerance and VIF ones. We will scroll down this table until we get to the final model, 10, information.
Scrolling down to the last model information shows us the following information. If you recall from the assumption checks, that multicollinearity was to be examined in the SPSS output. Multicollinearity is present when Tolerance values are below .1. As you can tell from the output below, Tolerance values range from a low of .386 to a high of .811. A second check for multicollinearity is the VIF column. Multicollinearity is present in the VIF column when the VIF values are greater than 10. In the example below, the VIF values range from a low of 1.233 to a high of 2.592. Therefore, multicollinearity is not present in this example.
The Standardized Coefficients Beta column is to be examined next. Each of these values reflects the relative importance of each of these statistically significant predictors. In this column, you will see that the Betas range from a low of .130 to a high of .155, indicating that each has about the same degree of relative importance.
In your Results section, you should discuss the assumptions that you checked; the extent to which each assumption was met or not met; the descriptive statistics; and the information in the columns that was discussed at each step of the regression process.
You have now successfully gone through the calculation of a multiple regression analysis.

Morgan: American Financier
When John Pierpont Morgan died in 1913, he was the most powerful banker in the world. As the main conduit for British foreign investment into North America he helped transform the United States from a society of yeoman farmers into an industrial colossus. More controversially, Morgan helped change competitive business into what Lenin called "monopoly capitalism." His bank financed the consolidation of large sectors of the American transportation, steel, and electricity industries. Most of this made economic sense, eliminating destructive competition, stabilizing the market, and lowering costs to the consumer through economies of scale and marketing. But the resulting concentration of power and wealth produced a popular backlash, leading Congress to pass the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890.
Morgan's other offense against the spirit of American democracy was to act as unofficial banker to the US government. In the absence of a central bank, he mobilized the gold to keep the US on the gold standard in 1895 and pumped liquidity into the banking system during the crash of 1907. Economists like Charles Kindleberger would later categorize such services as the "public goods" needed by a capitalist system if it was not to self-destruct. At the time, Morgan's interventions turned the fury of debtors, mortgage holders, and losers against the New York "money power." In 1896, William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic presidential candidate, famously accused the hard money men of crucifying America on a "cross of gold." After Morgan's 1907 rescue, the bankers were accused of contracting the currency in order to bankrupt debtors and impound their property, then expanding it so they could sell on a rise. This kind of criticism led to the formation of the Federal Reserve System in 1913.
Sitting at the center of a web of trusts and holding companies, negotiating with presidents (for a profit), Morgan became the symbol of uncontrolled and unaccountable financial power. His own defense was perfunctory; he barely deigned to notice his critics—the Populists, muckrakers, Progressives. Late in life he came to resemble, perhaps even played up to, his diabolic caricature; with his walking stick clutched like a slave owner's cane in one hand, a large cigar in another, his heavily mustachioed face dominated by glaring eyes and a hideous expanding nose, he seemed to exude demonic power.
Morgan came nearest to answering his detractors in his evidence to the Pujo Committee, with which Jean Strouse's superb biography opens. It was in 1912, he was then seventy-five, and Arsène Pujo, chairman of the House Banking and Currency subcommittee, was trying to prove that the American economy was being manipulated for private profit by a "money trust" headed by Pierpont Morgan. The Pujo inquiry was the climax of two decades of popular agitation; Morgan's testimony was the climax of the hearings; and the climax of his testimony was the reply he gave to a probing question by the committee's counsel, Samuel Untermeyer. Untermeyer asked, "Is not commercial credit based primarily upon money or …

If your child suffers from Cerebral Palsy and you believe medical malpractice may have played a role, then you need to contact the Cerebral Palsy lawyers at Ken Nunn Law Office immediately at 1-800-CALL-KEN and GET HELP! through our online form. I have been standing up for the rights of injured people in our communities, including Bloomington, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville and Muncie, and I have represented more than 20,000 clients in 574 different cities in Indiana for more than 42 years. I will work hard to help you receive the maximum compensation needed to care for your disabled child.
Cerebral Palsy is a group of disorders associated with loss of movement or nerve functions, caused by brain injuries during fetal development or labor and delivery. Cerebral Palsy occurs more often than you might think; experts estimate as many as two to four babies out of every 1,000 suffer from it. Cerebral Palsy can be caused by a number of unpreventable circumstances, but it can also be caused by poor medical care.
What kind of malpractice could lead to Cerebral Palsy?
- Failure to adequately monitor the fetus during pregnancy or labor – or failure to take action when the fetus' condition changes
- Failure to adequately monitor the mother during pregnancy – or failure to take action when the mother's condition changes
- Failure to perform a cesarean section when necessary due to fetal or maternal distress
- Failure to order specific tests during pregnancy, or not correctly interpreting these tests
- Improper use of labor-inducing drugs like Pitocin
- Lack of oxygen to the brain or trauma to the head during labor and delivery
If you believe a doctor's error could have caused your child's Cerebral Palsy, you should seek qualified lawyers immediately. The expense of medical procedures, special education, orthopedic braces and other appliances can be overwhelming – don't wait to protect your child's rights. The state of Indiana has laws that determine how long you have to file a medical malpractice claim -- and the longer you wait, the harder it may be to assemble detailed evidence and a solid medical testimony. The Indiana Medical Malpractice Act mandates that all lawsuit claims must be reviewed by a medical review panel before the claim can be filed in court.
When dealing with complex malpractice laws, you need an experienced litigator to make your case. How do you choose the right lawyer? The answer is simple -- Choose Ken Nunn. Put my experience on your side. I want nothing more than to see my clients able to live normal, happy lives. I have dedicated my life to fighting for the rights of Indiana's injured. Money can never undo the harm done to your child's health, but it can help pay for quality treatment and long-term care.
When you need an aggressive Indiana lawyer on your side, call Ken Nunn at 1-800-CALL-KEN. We believe in returning phone calls fast! A quick and easy online form is available if you need to GET HELP NOW. The initial consultation is free and the clock is running, so don't delay. Call now!

You will need to be able to create a broad range of designs for printed elements that cover a wide range of styles and tastes to suit the ever-growing client base for this company. Strong IN Design skills along with illustrator and Photoshop are a must but equally as important you must possess real drive and enthusiasm and be happy working on your own to develop and constantly improve the high quality level of design that our client expects.
The role will report into the Head of Creative but with the aim of rapidly expanding the design team and be responsible for managing both their workload and quality of finished designs.
The role itself will involve the design and upload of collateral to be added to an online folio of print templates on our clients website. This is a wide range of design templates from postcards and business cards through to banners, posters and seasonal greeting cards. You will need to be able to spot trends in design and ensure the range of products is constantly evolving to reflect this.
You will need to be proactive and confident in presenting and explaining ideas to colleagues along with checking work of more junior members of the team, great teamwork skills and your attention to detail will be close to an obsession

I would break the concrete and relocate the drain to the location I needed. The trap swings to adjust its location. Simple job for a pro,for sure.
We need to move the shower drain 2" to the right (see picture below) while keeping the moved pipe at the same height (or lower if possible) than it is now.
Research on this site indicated the easy way to do this is to use two 45 degree couplers, however the couplers add to the height of the moved pipe. We also can't cut the trap and move it without cutting into the concrete. Other option we've seen is flexible PVC, but don't know if that is acceptable for a shower drain.
What would you guys do in this situation?
I would break the concrete and relocate the drain to the location I needed. The trap swings to adjust its location. Simple job for a pro,for sure.
I would chip away enough concrete on the bottom left of that photo to get to the trap arm.
Then I'd use a new trap and land the drain where it needed to go.
Why would using a 45* coupling add height?
You can't really lower the trap, the drain needs a 1/4"/foot pitch down stream...
cut the "P" trap off and then use a fitting(s) to relocate the new one where it has to be. VERY easy solution. There is absolutely nothing which will move the trap sideways without increasing the height.

Oh wow, I didn't think the OP actually expected to make up that offset vertically before the trap without adding height.
Thanks for the guidance. Chipping is almost done and the new trap and pipes are bought. Was hoping there was a cool gadget I didn't know about to avoid chipping but it just wasn't to be!
The best way is usually the one that takes a decent amount of effort. Trying to save that effort will generally land you with a sub-par install.
Thanks everyone for your advice. We finished moving the shower drain the needed 2" this morning. Rented a small demo hammer so chipping out the floor took <30 minutes.
We're advanced DIYers in several areas but hadn't tackled moving anything in concrete, so this was very satisfying. Thanks for all your help.
Here is the finished drain. The blue tape was used to ensure we got the drain in the exact right spot.
How about another picture with more light on the point where you made the connection. There does not seem to be enough concrete broken out to have made any type of proper joint.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
Sorry HJ, just now saw your question. We've already set the shower base so can't take more pictures.
What you can't see in the pic is that there is more concrete chipped away around the actual joint. It was far enough back to fully seat the connector between the pipe and the P-Trap. We also did a leak test before sealing everything back up.
Hackney, Now that I look at it again, it is a coupling, and the swivel is what fooled me.

What makes you think it's not solvent welded?
Do you honestly expect access to a trap under and shower that is on a slab?

Presumed Innocent: Juno Temple Gets 'Dirty' for Abe Sylvia's Coming-Out Comedy
Don't mistake Juno Temple's youth, cherubic smile or even her "properly British" bent as signs of weakness. Tease her with the promise of a juicy part and she'll fight for it with tigerlike ferocity, which might explain why the 22-year-old is tearing through the most prolific year of her young career, highlighted by a star-making turn in Abe Sylvia's coming-of-age comedy Dirty Girl.
Spend Your Saturday Night with 'Dirty Girl' at the AMC Metreon
Abe Sylvia's Dirty Girl, starring Juno Temple (Year One) and newcomer Jeremy Dozier as a "married" couple whose rebellious streaks inspire them to flee Norman, Okla., for the presumably greener pastures of Fresno, will be screened as part of a special sneak preview tonight at the AMC Metreon on Mission Street.

Best Bully Sticks Rescue Spotlight: Puppy Rescue Mission
"It's so funny how something as simple as a puppy can make even the hardest, toughened soldier melt upon a few kisses to the face."
Best Bully Sticks knows without a doubt this is true, and not just for soldiers. Dog's have that innate ability to become instantaneous companions for life. This is the basic mission of one special animal rescue's efforts. Puppy Rescue Mission reunites American soldiers with dogs that they befriended during military tours as well as helps local shelters place dogs in need.
"Anna Cannan, president of Puppy Rescue Mission, originally created PRM to fundraise to help rescue "THE LUCKY SEVEN" out of Afghanistan where her fiancé was deployed. Due to Anna's amazing fundraising success, several of "THE LUCKY SEVEN" are now living stateside along with their respective soldiers.
It is PRM's mission to continue Anna's work by fundraising and helping to rescue dogs and cats out of Afghanistan for soldiers who deserve to have their furry friends brought back from war." (from PRM's Facebook) Read more

Facebook Of Latvia Is Bigger Than Facebook (In Latvia)
Draugiem.lv might not have a billion users. But it owns the web--and some of the biggest brains on it--in Latvia. Here's what Facebook could learn from it.
When Facebook hits the inevitable user plateau, perhaps it should take a cue from Eastern Europe. Latvia's largest social network, Draugiem.lv, conquered its home country's social landscape, then expanded to become a self-described "breeding ground for IT innovations and startups."
Launched in 2004 by Lauris Liberts and Agris Tamanis, Draugiem.lv is one of few social networks to still beat Facebook in their home country; Draugiem boasts 1.2 million Latvian users over Facebook's 327,000, according to Jānis Palkavnieks, Draugiem Group spokesperson.
"Five hundred thousand log in to the network every day," Palkavnieks says. Active users average 44 minutes per day, generating a billion page views per month.
But what's cooler than a billion page views? Owning the entire Internet (in one's native language, at least). "Its about 44% of all Latvian internet," Palkavnieks says.
Advertising revenues on social networks are notoriously abysmal--Draugiem brings in under $20 million a year. To squeeze more revenue from its grip on Latvian Internet users, Draugiem has opened up something akin to New York City's Betaworks to incubate ancillary tech companies.
"The biggest stock holder Agris Tamanis is a big fan of gadgets and that's why we are producing technology also," Palkavniesks says.
From digital vending machine monitoring to smart home systems to lead-gen analytics, the social network has sprouted 11 startups to date. It's created Latvian versions of RescueTime and Groupon, an inspirational quote site, and even a "design your own bracelet" store called FriendlyBracelets.
"Latvians mostly prefer local brands, and on top of that, we're able to react very quickly to change or invent something," Palkavnieks says.
As the premiere innovation hub in a 2 million-person nation, Draugiem is quick to brag about its "Google-esque" offices, complete with dope, modern decor and all terrain Segways.
"We have the most wanted job in Latvia," Palkavnieks says. "Our management and office is so wonderful that anyone want to work there."
Facebook's Palo Alto HQ is hard to top, but the social giant's New York offices have nothing on Draugiem. Perhaps when Facebook cracks 44% of American Internet it can pivot into startup incubation and find that elusive revenue stockholders are praying for. And maybe invest in more furniture for all of its offices.

A Real Comic Book Character For Halloween
This is a picture of a woman who is Halloweening as an actual comic book character. You know, like the way a woman would look in an oldschool comic -- with the crappy dot printing and all. Except, in this case, she actually looks pretty good. Granted not as good as I'd look as a comic book character, but I'd draw myself with giant shirt chain-mail ripping muscles and a laser cannon. Did somebody say dinosaur mount? Plus dinosaur mount. Did you know my handsomeness is actually considered a super power? Because it is.

Totally in love with his LP. Mesmerizing, indeed.
Thanks for the link, Polymer Bob, re Jeremy, "Olympic Athlete of the Week."
Double congrats to Jeremy!!
Jeremy to Yuka in the kiss 'n cry after seeing his scores: "Oh, I got a medal."
Yes, Jeremy, and the color is gold! Best of luck, Jere-amazin. Keep going strong! There is work yet to be done.
Redemption is attained not only through victory, but is felt within the power of the music and the movement the journey to it and through it. Thanks for sharing the emotion of that experience with us, Jeremy.
"All my successes have been built on my failures."
~ Benjamin Disraeli
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. ... I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
~ Michael Jordan
"If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless."
I was fortunate to watch the performance live in Shanghai.
I had tears running through my eyes as he finished his FP. I cannot remember when was the last time that skating had this kind of impact on me. The FP reminded me all the things I loved about skating (which I had almost completely forgotten about since I quit skating personally and started going to grad school / starting my job in the office).
Thank you Jeremy Abbott.
The LP is simply stunning. IMO, what it parallels is Jeff Buttle's Naqoyqatsi (sp?) LP.
I am a dissenter, though, on this season's SP; it's OK but it doesn't make my jaw drop the way "A Day in the Life" did a couple of years ago.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe.
I know exactly what you mean! I tear up everytime I watch his LP too; it's like it is a summation of his entire career up to this point. I can't help but flashback in my mind to all the memories of different programs Jeremy has given us and all of his highs and lows along the way when I watch it. The "Redemption" theme of the program permeates through the introspective tone of the music and free, beautiful movement of his entire body as he performs. This is definitively the most memorable figure skating program I have seen in quite some time. IMO, it is epic and iconic; I guess I just "get" Jeremy and I think he "gets" me too. He has never disappointed me and I will always be his fan! To consistently season after season produce programs that are like fine artistic masterpieces that have the ability to effectively touch the viewer's soul is an incredible talent and Jeremy does this again and again and again. What a beautiful skater and man! GUSH x INFINITY!
Is there even a program in his LP?
LP means Long Program it is a term that was used for years in figure skating you had the Short Program and the Long Program. Now days the term FS is used but some folks still use LP myself included.
BOT: I agree with all of the folks praising Jeremy's program, for me Jeremy's program had everything in it that I love about figure skating. Jeremy showed us his soul on the ice and that is a rare talent, he was in the zone.
The official name was always Free Skate, but colloquially many people referred to it as the Long Program, abbreviated LP.
That's probably more true now when the rules for the long program don't make it very free any more.
Peggy Fleming even named her autobiography The Long Program, and in her day there was no short program, just school figures and free skate.
Jeremy's programs over the last three seasons - particularly his LP/FS - have reflected choreographic and artistic sophistication rarely seen is skating.
I can't think of another current skater with the combination of technique and innate artistry required to bring them "to life".
It has been, and is, a privilege to watch him skate.
Jeremy is a mature artist, elevating the sport, through his work.
We are/skating is very fortunate to be able to see it.
"If people are looking for guarantees, they should buy appliances at Sears and stay away from human relationships."~Prancer
Why would he? Well, it got us talking and probably clicking on his articles. He reads here, he knows most of us (myself included) have been gushing and gushing about this LP. Most likely, he means to provoke and is usually successful.
Christine Brennan discovered "the controversial reporting in figure skating" market, Hersh is just following the lead.
"Nature is a damp, inconvenient sort of place where birds and animals wander about uncooked."
from Speedy Death
This is the 4th or 5th year he's gone out of his way to do at least ONE program that sticks out from the rest of the men in choreography, transitions, and interpretation. This year it's both of his programs, he better be rewarded for it. The LP from the theme, to the way he moves, to the choreography with full body movement, jumps that just randomly happen because you are always paying attention to what his feet are doing..
He's way too far behind a few of the guys to really challenge for a World title, but my biggest wish this year (other than Mirai being World Champ) is for Jeremey to finally win a World medal.
I think Jeremey is just making it look too easy. The program can appear empty because it is subtle. None of his transitions look hard, so the viewer seems to be assuming they aren't hard. But if you actually quantify what his blades are doing, the upper body movement- his program is PACKED.
His long program isn't my favorite (I prefer fun to introspective, like his short) but it is a great program.
I agree with your wish. It's already quite bizarre he hasn't got a world medal (as as Nobu not having it). Well, it's clear why they don't have it, it's just pretty shocking!
I concur with the general feeling of everyone about his programs. Specially his lp. I enjoyed the program of the Kerrs to the same music last season but his takes it to another level. It's his best program ever by a long shot and the highlight of the season for me (along S/S modern dance fest program)
About Mirai, I hope she doesn't become world champion with those programs she has. I like her a lot, but that'd be a terrible competition if it happens
^ It would be no worse than Miki Ando's programs from the year prior winning, plus she's potentially a waaay better skater I think the LP will be much different by the time Nationals are here.
LOVE LOVE LOVE. I don't think there's a program of his that I haven't liked. He's showing a ton of versatility and ease in adopting many different movement styles (though I think he had a harder time growing into last year's flamenco SP--it took a while).
Whether he wins any enormous titles/medals or not before retiring (whenever that may be), it sets him up well for a future in professional skating and choreography.

Staff Highlights
Bonnie Solt Prunty | |
Director, Offices of Residential Life and Judicial Affairs |
"I really like meeting new students and parents when I do orientation presentations in the summer," says Bonnie Solt Prunty. She knows that living on a college campus is a major adjustment for most students. And here at Ithaca College, Bonnie and her staff help to make that transition and experience the best it can be for students and their family members. Orientation is the first step. As the director of the Offices of Residential Life and Judicial Affairs, Bonnie represents the needs and interests of residence hall students and the residential life program on campus. She is involved in the future planning for the residence hall program and its facilities, and she's also the voice of reason when students and parents have concerns with aspects of residential living. Bonnie nurtures a well-rounded perspective of on-campus living: "We consider residence housing a community because you live cooperatively with other students, sharing both academic and personal experiences." Bonnie had the opportunity to promote that community aspect when she helped to develop Ithaca's first learning community, an academically based, multicultural residence hall program called Housing Offering a Multicultural Experience (HOME). Bonnie's 20-year tenure in the Offices of Residential and Judicial Affairs began when she was hired as a residence director in August of 1988 and was promoted almost immediately to coordinator of housing services. She has also served as an area coordinator, assistant director of operations, and associate director of residential life and judicial affairs, all at Ithaca College. Most recently she assumed additional responsibilities as the assistant dean for the first-year experience. Although Bonnie's undergraduate degree is in accounting, she's not about the numbers. Her interest is in creating an exceptional residential community.

One thing to remember when you consider how many innings the new rotation might save the pen in 2011 is that in 2010 the bullpen threw less innings than any other team in the National League. Phillie relievers tossed just 421 innings last year, the fewest in the league by a fairly wide margin. The Arizona Diamondbacks were 15th in the NL in bullpen innings pitched with 439. The Giants were 14th, and they threw 461 innings in relief — 40 more than the Phillies. Only one team in the DH-loving AL threw fewer innings in relief. The Mariners called on their pen to throw 419 1/3 innings, which was 1 2/3 less than the Phillies.
So even before adding Cliff Lee to the rotation, and even without a full year of Oswalt, the Phillies were already calling on their bullpen to throw fewer innings than any team in their league and almost any other team in baseball.
For the last three seasons, the Phils have been in the bottom half in the NL in terms of innings pitched in relief. In two of the three years they have been among the three teams that threw the fewest innings in relief.
Here's the number of innings the Phillies bullpen has thrown per season over the past five years and their rank in innings pitched in relief in the NL for that year:
Year | IP in relief | NL rank innings pitched in relief |
2010 | 421 | 16 |
2009 | 492 | 9 |
2008 | 483 | 14 |
2007 | 520 | 8 |
2006 | 539 | 4 |
In 2006, the Phillies threw 539 innings in relief. Only three teams in the NL threw more innings in relief that year, the Mets, Nationals and Cubs. By 2008, only two NL teams (the Brewers and the Diamondbacks) threw fewer innings in relief than the Phils. In 2010, the Phils were 16th in the 16-team league in innings pitched by their relievers (no NL team threw fewer).
There is bad news, though, and that's that the bullpens, with one notable exception, have generally not gotten better at preventing runs as the number of innings they throw relative to the rest of the league goes down. The table below has the same three columns as the table above, but adds the NL rank for runs allowed per inning in relief for each year.
Year | IP in relief | NL rank innings pitched in relief | NL Rank R/IP in relief |
2010 | 421 | 16 | 8 |
2009 | 492 | 9 | 9 |
2008 | 483 | 14 | 1 |
2007 | 520 | 8 | 13 |
2006 | 539 | 4 | 3 |
In 2006, the bullpen was throwing a ton of innings, but they were also allowing fewer runs per inning pitched in relief than every bullpen in the league except for the Mets and the Padres. Last year the bullpen threw fewer innings than any other team in the league, but their effectiveness in terms of runs allowed per innings pitched was in the middle of the pack. 2008 is the only year in the last four in which the bullpen excelled at preventing runs. In that year the Phils were near the bottom of the league in bullpen innings pitched and at the very top in terms of runs allowed per inning pitched. You may recall that things turned out well for the team that year.
JC Romero appears to be headed back to the Phils. Five guys in the pen at this point: Romero, Baez, Contreras, Madson and Lidge. Many articles, including this post, suggest that the addition of Romero makes it less likely the Phils would bring back Durbin.

We find ourselves in agreement with City Councilman John Lewis, who maintained at Monday night's Warren City Council meeting that if a tax increase is truly necessary to maintain city services at current levels, that burden should be shouldered by both the property tax and the earned income tax, rather than exclusively one or the other.
For decades, Pennsylvania has toyed with the idea of tax reform. We say toyed because every 10 years or so the folks in Harrisburg begin to talk about the regressive nature of the property tax, which is the primary source of revenue for school districts and municipal governments.
The property tax is considered regressive because it is not adjusted for a person's ability to pay, making it particularly burdensome for retirees and the long-term unemployed.
A person making $50,000 a year who owns a $100,000 house is likely to retire on about half of that income. Yet that person's house does not decline in value or assessment. While that person's ability to pay taxes is theoretically cut in half, the property taxes on his or her house do not decline. And, in the case of most homeowners in Pennsylvania, property taxes represent their largest local tax obligation. So, with a 3-mill increase in the property tax, that person's tax obligation will go up about $150 in the city (based on a 50 percent assessment rate).
Meanwhile, a person owning a $100,000 house and making $50,000 a year will also see a $150 increase, but be far more able to pay it than the retiree.
We would maintain that if people are indeed escaping the city for the townships based on taxes, it is not because one form of tax is higher than another in town, it is because the aggregate is much smaller outside the city limits because the townships by and large do not provide the same services as the city.
Councilman Lewis was simply asking for the tax burden to be shared a bit more compassionately by those who have higher incomes as well as those who have found their incomes sliced by as much as half.

Drs. Shenoi and Linenberger indicated no relevant conflicts of interest.
Slichter SJ, Kaufman RM, Assmann SF, et al. Dose of prophylactic platelet transfusions and prevention of hemorrhage. N Engl J Med. 2010;362:600-613.
The fear of catastrophic hemorrhage during severe hypoproliferative thrombocytopenia compels physicians to act preemptively with prophylactic platelet transfusions. Without additional risk factors, spontaneous bleeding increases significantly at platelet counts < 5 x 109/L. The current accepted prophylactic platelet transfusion trigger of ≤ 10 x 109/L derives from multiple randomized, prospective platelet transfusion trials and reflects the use of standardized platelet concentrate doses (3 x 1011 to 6 x 1011 platelets for adults).1 To meet the increasing demand for donor platelets in an era of dwindling supply, there is great interest in defining a minimum, safe prophylactic platelet dose that is also cost-effective. One recent study to determine whether low-dose products might provide equivalent safety as standard-dose products (the SToP trial) was prematurely closed after enrolling only 130 patients when > 5 percent absolute difference in WHO grade 4 bleeds occurred in the lower-dose arm.2
The platelet dose (PLADO) trial reported by Slichter et al. for the Transfusion Medicine/Hemostasis Clinical Trials Network prospectively evaluated 1,351 pediatric and adult patients (body weights 10-135 kg) with chemotherapy-induced hypoproliferative thrombocytopenia. Patients were randomized to receive low-, medium-, or high-dose products (1.1 x 1011, 2.2 x 1011, or 4.4 x 1011 platelets/M2 BSA, respectively) when their morning platelet count was ≤ 10 x 109/L. Among the 1,272 evaluable patients, the primary endpoint of WHO grade 2 or higher bleeding was not significantly different between the three groups (71 percent, 69 percent, and 70 percent, respectively), nor were there differences for the highest grade of bleeding. However, the total number of platelets transfused (9.25 x 1011, 11.25 x 1011, and 19.63 x 1011, respectively) and the median number of transfusion events (five in the low-dose group and three in the other two) were significantly different. The median post-transfusion platelet counts were 22 x 109/L, 34 x 109/L, and 50 x 109/L, respectively, while the median number of days until the next transfusion were 1.1, 1.9, and 2.9, respectively. Physician-initiated change to higher-dose product occurred more commonly in low-dose patients.
What are the key findings of the PLADO trial, and should these results change transfusion practice? This large and carefully performed study refutes the safety concerns raised by the SToP trial and suggests that relatively few transfused platelets can maintain vascular hemostatic integrity and prevent clinically relevant bleeding. From a clinical and resource perspective, lower overall platelet requirements should translate into less donor exposures (when pooled products are used) and increased platelet inventories. However, cost-benefit analyses are eagerly awaited, since gains in product availability may be offset by greater administration and nursing costs, as suggested by an economic study of a smaller platelet dosing trial. Moreover, providing customized, body surface area-based platelet products will present technical challenges. Thus, implementation of a low-dose transfusion policy must be guided by further economic and logistical review of the PLADO data. Concurrent with these efforts, an ongoing, randomized controlled trial of prophylactic versus no-prophylactic platelet transfusions (the TOPPS trial) should yield valuable insights into whether therapeutic, rather than prophylactic, transfusions can be a safe and efficient practice for some patients.1

text: A San Antonio firefighter is in serious but stable condition from injuries he sustained in an apartment fire Thursday. The fire broke out Thursday afternoon at The Castlewood Condominiums on Medical Drive near Fredericksburg Road. "We did have an active rescue on the third floor where we had a civilian that was trapped and could not get out, said Chief Charles Hood. "Our companies put a ladder up and rescued that person effectively, but during the rescue one of our firefighters fell." Chief Hood told 550 KTSA News the firefighter either slipped or fell off the ladder during the rescue and is currently in serious, stable condition with back injuries at University Hospital. The department was able to contain the fire to one building at the condominiums. A total of 27 units were damaged, with no indication at this time as to how many are completely destroyed. The resident that was rescued from the fire was taken to Methodist Hospital, but the fire department said he is in stable condition and only suffered minor injuries from smoke inhalation.
