Spike Movie's Iraq War Vet Ex-Marine Earns Applause for Denouncing the War
As detailed in July 18 and July 20 NewsBusters postings, the eight-hour mini-series is centered around a group of Iraq war vets who rob a Pittsburgh bank, but end up taking hostages when police arrive before they can flee. The CBS/Viacom channel mini-series about the siege began Sunday night with a two-hour premiere and will air weekly in one and two-hour installments on Sunday nights through August.
The rant from the bitter ex-Marine as he stood outside the bank addressing the negotiator, police snipers and the crowd, an event carried live on local television:
I love my country, man. I fought for my country and I would die for my country. Do you think I wanted to end up here? Do you think I wanted guns in my face again, man? No way. No freakin' way. But I came home to sickness and nightmares. You know when I close my eyes you know what I see? I see the faces of the soldiers and civilians that I killed, that's what I see. I spoke to my captain and he makes me talk to a shrink who doesn't know shit. Then the God damned government smokes me out with their lies and away goes my pension, away goes my medical. And if my wife gets sick, who's going to pay for it? Who's going to pay? I pay. We pay. I served my country, man. I served 15 years I gave, 15 years. Who's going to protect me? Who's going to protect me, huh, who?Spike's page for the mini-series.
So I started this and look where I am, man, look where I am, back in the firing line. So maybe you should shoot me, go ahead, maybe you should shoot me. I'd rather die than go to jail, that's for damn sure. I didn't spill my blood for this country for freedom to have it taken away when I came home. I got some demands because they took everything away from me, okay.
I want antibiotics 'cause I got injured in there. And I want a flak jacket for every soldier in Iraq! Because our stupid-ass government doesn't think that they're necessary. And I want the son of every Senator who voted yes for this war to sign up for active duty. You get me those things! And I'll leave here. I'll ask for bus and a chopper and I'll disappear. Got that?

Since this isn't really a hockey blog because hockey doesn't exist anymore, I decided to write about the history of The Battle of California. I asked the men in charge if I could post this last week and Earl blindly approved it but then it took me over a week to write the last sentence and then I just gave up and wrote some shit about crying.
There was a California before the Americans. Before the Spanish. Before the Russians and the dark-skinned Natives. There was a California before, and there was a battle for its soul.
Promised Land
The man came by land, across the long-fallen bridge. The fish came by sea, pulled by the North Pacific current. The bird came by air, a long and dangerous flight. Each was drawn to the place by the same desire: the freedom to walk, the freedom to swim, the freedom to fly. The mountains were high and the valleys were fertile. The skies were always blue and the water was clean and fresh. The enemies of the old world were left behind and a new life could begin.
Each wanted this place for their own. To plant seeds so that future generations could grow and prosper. But they found something else in California as well. Each other.
The Factions
The man, royalty in his homeland, would easily dominate this new world. What beast could stand up to his sword? What creature could match the elegance of his purple cape? The glint from his crown would blind the mightiest foe. And he had the power of the mind: rational thought, self awareness, math. No one would stop him.
The fish, finned and fanged and deadly, would easily dominate this new world. Who else could swim so fast? Who else had three rows of razor sharp fangs? His sense of smell could find a foe at over one hundred miles. Who else could breathe liquid and move in their sleep? No one would stop him.
The bird, who had survived the most grueling trip of all, would easily dominate this new world. Could anyone match his sight, the ability to spot a target from 10 miles away? He controlled the sky, and he who controlled the sky controlled the battle. His camouflage was unmatched, green feathers, and black, and brown, nature would hide him. A demonic, corkscrewed penis, designed by Satan himself would allow him to outbreed by force any foe in the new world. No one would stop him.
The bird, flying high above the earth, was the first to notice that he was not alone here. Without thinking and without remorse he dove towards the man and attacked. Flapping and kicking and biting wherever he could find purchase. The surprised man could not believe what was happening, there were no enemies here. He recovered enough to run for cover and compute this new data, which the bird mistook for retreat.
The victorious bird decided to go for a victory swim. As he had thought, none could stand before him. The fish attacked swiftly, from beneath, and the bird did as the man had before him. The fish smiled at the fleeing bird, tail feathers protruding from his many rows of teeth.
The man would not be surprised again. He sharpened his weapons and his senses. This land was not his land. Yet. When he came upon the lounging fish he launched his spear and dove into the water to fight. The fish bolted, unprepared for this furious assault. He had done nothing to this man, but next time, next time he would do something.
The Battle Raged
None could easily claim victory. The man had been there the longest and had come closest to domination, but this meant nothing to the other two. The two younger Californians quickly learned the ways of the land and caught up to the man. They would raid each other's homes several times per year, sometimes being chased away, sometimes taking a spoil or two, but never fully crushing their opponent. Each of the three sides hated the other two equally and there was no chance of alliance against a common foe. And that is how they fought, one against one, and one against one, and one against one, over and over and over again.
After years upon years of battle, a temporary truce was initiated. No one was sure who proposed it but the fighting was halted for an entire year. While the fish and the man recovered and rested, the bird trained and built weapons and developed new tactics. For it was the bird who proposed the truce, to lull the others into complacency. The fighting resumed as normal, but the bird saved his surprises for the right time. In the second year after the truce, the bird unleashed his furious attack and thought he had achieved absolute victory.
But the fighting resumed as normal the next year. Nothing had changed. The fish would continue to have the most success throughout the year, but every year he would tire and fade as the season changed to Spring. None could take advantage of the other two. And the fighting would go on.
Some say the man finally cracked. That he went crazy from the continual battle and went on a rampage. Some say he made a revolutionary leap in tactics. Others say he initiated total war, willing to do what the others were not. Whatever the cause, the result was the man's victory over the bird and the fish.
The man would not repeat the mistake of the bird. He scorched the land and sea and the sky. He salted the earth. He destroyed every speck of food and beauty. There would be no more fighting as there was nothing to fight for. Victory was his and no one would ever take it from him. The man sat alone atop the pile of dust he had created and cradled his victory, whispering sweet nothings to it and making promises that no one would ever hurt it. Tears flowed at the beauty he beheld.

Whether ōArgoö succeeds in snagging the best picture Oscar away from ōLincolnö at the Academy Awards ceremony tonight or Emmanuelle Riva becomes the oldest best actress honoree by beating presumed front-runner Jennifer Lawrence, one thing will be clear: When it comes to movies, audiences were the big winners in 2012.
Many of the films widely acknowledged to be the yearÆs best are competing tonight, including ōLincoln,öōZero Dark Thirty,öōSilver Linings Playbook,öōArgoö and ōLife of Pi.ö
But 2012 also included the terrific action thriller ōThe Grey,ö starring Liam Neeson; Steven SoderberghÆs playful and tone-perfect male-stripper comedy ōMagic Mikeö; Rian JohnsonÆs wildly inventive science-fiction thriller ōLooperö; and the franchise installments ōThe Avengers,öōThe Dark Knight Risesö and ōSkyfallö Ś all of them exceptionally smart, good-looking and well-crafted.
By the time awards season got underway last fall, critics and industry insiders had formed a consensus: It was a great year for movies across a spectrum defined by genre exercises, sequels, mainstream comedies, micro-budgeted indies and the kind of modest-budgeted, adult-oriented dramas that many observers thought Hollywood had long since written off.
The reasons any movie year is better than another are myriad and mercurial. Last yearÆs bumper crop of quality is no different, although some clues can be found in new financing strategies, emerging technology and an increasingly cinema-literate audience that no longer accepts lame plots and lazy production values (two words: ōJohnö and ōCarterö).
Five years ago, Hollywood was in the midst of the same economic downturn as the rest of the country, shying away from sinking its own money into movies and instead banking on sure-fire comic book adaptations and proven series. The result was that filmmakers looked outside Hollywood for money Ś cobbling together international financiers or being bankrolled by a single investor, such as Megan Ellison Ś then brought their projects to studios to distribute and market. Last yearÆs ōLooper,öōZero Dark Thirtyö and ōCloud Atlasö were made this way, an approach that preserved the strong artistic vision of their directors while providing the wide reach of a mainstream studio.
ōI do think this year, the movies across the board were better,ö says Jason Blum, founder and chief executive of Blumhouse Productions. The reason, he says, was that ōevery movie last year was put together at a time when money got very, very tight. And when you force a director to work within certain confines, heÆs got to focus on performance, character, actors and story. And none of those things needs to be expensive.ö
ōI think thereÆs a new paradigm,ö says producer Mike Medavoy, whose past films include ōRocky,öōOne Flew Over the CuckooÆs Nest,öōPlatoonö and, more recently, ōShutter Islandö and ōBlack Swan.öōAnd the paradigm is to spend less and make fewer films.ö (Last year Sony Pictures announced that it would make two fewer films a year starting in 2014.) WhatÆs more, he added, with such conspicuous budget-bloated flops as the aforementioned ōJohn Carter,ö as well as ōTotal Recallö and ōBattleship,ö burned into movie-business memories, studio executives are now painfully aware that dumbed-down spectacle is no longer enough.
ōIt still comes down to characters,ö Medavoy says. ōDo you really believe the characters and the actors portraying those characters? If I say to you, What do you remember about æLawrence of ArabiaÆ outside its craftsmanship? ItÆs those characters and those performances.ö
High-profile flops notwithstanding, Hollywood seems more chary of out-and-out dreck than in previous years. Black List founder Franklin Leonard, whose company is bringing a data-intensive approach to uniting scripts and filmmakers, notes that far fewer critical bombs were released in 2012, as telling a statistic as the number of home runs. Based on an analysis of scores found on the website Metacritic, Leonard noted in an email that ōfifteen films released in more than 1,000 theaters in 2011 had Metacritic scores of 30 or below. There were only six in 2012.ö
His email continued: ōI suspect that to the extent thatÆs a trend, itÆs a result of studios being acutely aware of the fact that bad films, particularly those targeted at adults, have a harder time withstanding the rapid spread of word of mouth via Twitter, Facebook and other social mediaö and of studios ōfocusing on films that can benefit from that effect.ö
Leonard added that, looking at Metacritic scores alone, 2011 was actually a stronger year for overall quality Ś although he noted that ō2012Æs best films were almost universally adult dramas or films targeted primarily, if not exclusively, at adults.ö In a year that saw such movies for grown-ups as ōThe Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,öōLincoln,öōArgo,öōZero Dark Thirtyö and ōSilver Linings Playbookö crossing the magic $100 million mark Ś and when grown-ups helped nudge ōArbitrage,öōTedö and ōThe Avengersö into modest or mega-sized hits Ś adults are proving that they can be as reliably lucrative an audience as the teenage boys Hollywood has spent decades catering to.
Blum predicts that, at least while Baby Boomers go out to see movies, high-quality theatrical releases will continue. But as the on-demand generation matures, more mainstream dramas will migrate to television, as series and VOD offerings.
ōFor younger generations who have grown up getting everything they want at home, weÆre not going to be able to force them to go out to see movies in a theater,ö says Blum. ōA few yes. But movies in the not too distant future will be seen by a lot more people and in a lot more places at once.ö

Growing up on a cattle ranch in Colorado, Peter McBride knew the runoff from snowmelt that irrigated the ranch lands eventually emptied into the Colorado River, and he wondered how long it took the water of the Colorado to reach the Sea of Cortez. In 2009, on an assignment for National Geographic magazine, he found out that it no longer does. Because of drought and an increased demand for water by over 35 million people in western states, the Colorado River dries up after crossing the U.S.-Mexican border.
That discovery sparked a three-year project as Pete followed and photographed the length of the Colorado from its source in the Rocky Mountains. He produced a book, The Colorado River: Flowing Through Conflict, and an award-winning documentary film, Chasing Water, began making presentations and launched a traveling exhibit. He also ended up with an ongoing interest in the world's water crises.
The more I traveled, the more I wanted to photograph the things I cared about or saw changing.
Concern for the environment has always driven Pete's career. "I loved photography and loved traveling to remote parts of the world," he says, "and the more I traveled, the more I wanted to photograph the things I cared about or saw changing. In Colorado we're coming into our 13th year of drought, and to some degree my work has helped bring the issue and the conversation a little more to the forefront. Because water law and water discussions can get very wonky, to have a visual component that tells the story as well is really important."His environmental work is not about assigning blame or pointing fingers. "Water is becoming an issue all over the world," he says, "and we're all users. If you're having a salad in New York City in the winter, that salad was grown with Colorado River water; everything about the issue is interrelated. The beauty of photography is that it can show people what's at stake, and it can get the conversation started."
To capture his environmental images and commercial assignments, Pete travels light and relies on technology. "My go-to lens now is the 24-70mm NIKKOR; these days, most of my stuff is done with that lens." He takes full advantage of his cameras' high ISO capabilities to shoot low-light photography and will confidently push the ISO to achieve high shutter speeds for his aerial photos. He generally shoots with his cameras set to shutter priority. "I want to have more control of speed, and I can always boost the ISO if I need to increase depth of field." Pete considers -1/3 EV his exposure compensation default because it provides greater color saturation. "And it's a lot easier to lighten something later than darken it," he adds.

The 2013 offseason poses some interesting questions for the Warriors. They are coming off a nice playoff run with a young core, who looks to be a consistent playoff contender for years to come. The warriors have already locked away Stephen Curry at a below market value contract through 2017, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes are both on rookie contracts for atleast 2 more years (2015 and 2016 respectively). David Lee is still owed 3 years/44 million but with Andrew Bogut's $12 million deal expiring (and future uncertain) and Richard Jefferson and Andris Biedrins combine $21 million albatross' expiring, the warriors are sitting in fine position in 2014 with anywhere from 12 to 24 million in cap space based on the $58.5 million cap figure floated around (the 12 million gap is depending on if they keep Bogut's cap hold or outright release his rights). Releasing Bogut's rights and not signing any free agents beyond one year. would have the required cap space for a max-contract player without having to trade a single one of the core 4.
That raises the question of what to do this off-season? Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry were both integral parts of this team in 2012-13, and without these two, the Warriors likely miss the playoffs. Barnes and Klay developed later on in the season, Steph really only came into his own as a legitimate star in the second half, and Bogut missing the first 50 games. All this meant Jack and Landry in addition to David Lee did a lot to keep warriors afloat in first half and off to a good start.
Keeping either would mean most likely committing atleast 2 years to them, and cutting cap flexibility in 2014. Jarrett Jack is a nice 6th man, but is he worth losing your chance at a max player? What about Carl Landry? Both players will likely earn over $6 million next year (pay raises). Is that worth it? I would say probably not. At most you could keep one and even then it's only at a certain price. Both turn 30, committing 3 years to either could be a move which backfires very quickly.
In a recent Grantland article, Zack Lowe poses a question as to where do the Warriors go from here? A few specific quotes from Warriors GM Bob Myers, give you deep insite into his thoughts-
"What you see in the playoffs," Myers says, "is the top six or seven guys on a roster really determining the outcome."
"The best thing about working for Joe and the other owners has been that the mandate from day one has been to win," Myers says. "If that means going into the tax to sign a player or players who can help us win, the owners are willing to do that. But we have to be prudent about it, and not inefficient and wasteful."
"This year, the goal for us was to make the playoffs," Myers says. "We were lucky enough to accomplish that. Now the goal is to see if we build on that accomplishment."
My take from this Myers belief, while depth is always helpful, to overpay for depth, when your starters aren't title challenging level is not worth it. As warrior fans we can all agree, we've seen years of guys like Maggette, Troy Murphy, and on and on get bloated contracts which cripple Warriors flexibility and keep them in the land of irrelevance without ever being truly bad enough to draft a star or have the cap space to sign one. That's not how you get better. For the Warriors to get legitimately better, to be title contenders better, they need to get better the starting 5.
This can happen a variety of ways, free agency, draft or just internal development. It's reasonable to assume Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes will improve. David Lee is in his prime now, so it's unlikely he'll improve, and will always have his defensive flaws. Bogut being healthy alone will make the team better. But if that enough to truly challenge for a championship? Probably not.
The logical move then becomes, how can we improve 1 of our starting 5? The odds we can trade someone other than Curry for a 'star' are low and we'd have to very opportunistic. It'd have to be a situation where a player demands out. If that happens, you jump but you can't just plan to wait for it. So the next route would be the draft. Well, we have no pick in 2013, and it's unlikely we'll get a top 3 pick anytime soon, which is where you'd need to be to really have a shot at that 'final piece'. That brings the final way, free agency. We are capped out in 2013, so the obvious answer is wait till 2014 summer, don't sign anyone beyond a 1 year deal this summer and look for the best possible 'cheap' replacements for Jack and Landry as you can. Get Jose Calderon or Devin Harris in Jack's place, maybe get Brandon Wright in Landry's place or something comparable. You'd like to keep Jack or Landry, but if it risks your opportunity to get a real all-star caliber player you can't do it.
As far as I'm concerned signing Jack or Landry to a deal which cripples our 2014 flexibility is not an option worth considering and it seems as though, Warriors management feels the same way.
There is one offer which has not been considered. One thing, we could attempt to do in the immediate summer to give ourselves a shot: Trade an expiring contract of Richard Jefferson + future pick or picks for Kevin Garnett. Boston is looking to unload Garnett and Pierce and fully rebuild. The upside to this is obvious. Garnett is a future hall of famer, and still one of most productive big men in NBA. Bogut's lack of durability and DLee's lack of defense would be protected with Kevin Garnett. In a rotation with those 2 and Draymond Green, minutes could also be kept down for both Bogut and Garnett, the way San Antonio has for Tim Duncan. Think about a team where you could play Garnett 26-28 minutes a game (less than he did this year), Bogut the same (preserving the ankle), David Lee could keep his minutes closer to 33 than 38 and Draymond Green picking up the remaining 10 or so minutes. That's potentially the best front court rotation bordering on what the Lakers were able to do with Pau, Odom and Bynum (not as good, but still much better than any other team).
The downside is obvious though. Getting Kevin Garnett and his 2 year $23 million contract would take the Warriors out of running for a 2014 free agent. Is it worth giving up a first round draft pick for a 37 year old, great as he may be?
Should the Warriors make a run at it? Should they attempt to lure KG to the Bay? Fill out the roster afterwords and try to make a real run at the West and a title? Would Curry, Klay, Barnes, Lee, Kg, Bogut, Draymond, Rush + a back up PG be enough to win a title in 2013/14? I'm not sure, but I know I'm really intrigued.
Let me know your thoughts.
via a.espncdn.com
Added thought- If the Warriors did go this route, in 2015, when Kevin Garnett likely retires, the Warriors will have cap space to make a run at a free agent big man as a replacement, with Marc Gasol and Roy Hibbert being two of the better fits. The move would take the Warriors out of the Lebron sweepstakes in 2014, but at some point, you have to ask, how realistic is our shot anyway?

|Estimation of Cost-saving for Reducing Radioactive Waste from Nuclear Medicine Facilities by Implementing Decay in Storage (DIS) in Japan.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22516599 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|DIS has not yet been implemented in Japan as of 2011. Therefore, even if risk was negligible, medical institutions have to entrust radioactive temporal waste disposal to Japan Radio Isotopes Association (JRIA) in the current situation. To decide whether DIS should be implemented in Japan or not, cost-saving effect of DIS was estimated by comparing the cost that nuclear medical facilities pay. By implementing DIS, the total annual cost for all nuclear medical facilities in Japan is estimated to be decreased to 30 million yen or less from 710 million yen. DIS would save 680 million yen (96%) per year.

Getting the Most for Your Money in Handbags and Jewelry
Carefully Review the Product
If you are purchasing a piece of jewelry, especially online, it's essential that you carefully review its quality, workmanship, and overall construction. The methods used to design a piece will impact the quality of the jewelry over time. An online store should align itself then with jewelry manufacturers who are well-known for their fine jewelry selections. Get your jewelry appraised before buying it too. It should appraise at a value that is about 50% above the retail price of the piece.
How to Spot a Fake
Handbags are another product sold online that you want to carefully survey. After you've been shopping awhile, you can easily spot a knock-off handbag. Designers of handbags normally place their logo or signature on on specific area of the designer bag. However, if the bag is fake, you'll see the logo featured in one of a number of areas on the bag.
GIA Certified
Whether you are shopping for designer apparel, handbags, or fine jewelry, you should always make sure of its authenticity with a tag, card, or certificate. One of the best ways to ensure that you obtain the best gemstone product is to invest in diamond jewelry. The diamonds you buy then should be GIA graded, GIA standing for the Gemological Institute of America – a well-known diamond grading organization.
What to Seek in a Gemstone
Other gemstones, as well, should carry GIA approval. Gems, such as emeralds, rubies and sapphires should be rich in hue and color, with each gem translucent, never opaque. Pearls, likewise, should carry a high luster or sheen.
Review a Company's Shipping Policy
While you can't view gems, diamonds, and handbags up close when you visit online sites, you can give them a careful look once they are shipped. Therefore, use only those online stores that feature shipping policies that allow you to return the item easily, particularly if it does not pass inspection or meet with your standards with respect to quality.

Sometimes, it's hard to believe the St. Louis Cardinals have not sold their collective souls to the devil.
The Dodgers were posing a threat to the Cardinals one-run lead in the bottom of the sixth inning with runners on first and second and one out. So the Cardinals brought in Seth Maness to relieve Lance Lynn and, on just his third pitch, Maness got a grounder that led to an inning-ending double-play.
Really, though. How do the Cardinals do it? Please pass the magical formula around, Cardinals. You are too lucky and too good, all the time. Let someone else use the toys every now and then.

I don't have an ESPN Insider account, but I saw this article posted on the College basketball page:
Zags desperately need Elias Harris
It's a rough run before WCC play, and seeding could ultimately be compromised
By LaRue Cook
ESPN Insider
The Gonzaga Bulldogs can't beat the Kansas State Wildcats if Elias Harris isn't healthy. According to reports he will play Monday, but, simply put, the Zags' entire season hinges on the health of their star.
He's the most important piece to the Zags' NCAA Tournament puzzle this season because of his ability to bang inside and create second-chance opportunities for a team short on scorers.
But, at the moment, those abilities are missing. Even when he's been in the lineup.
While I agree that Harris is a star and without him healthy, we won't be at our potential full strength. But that doesn't mean we are helpless, or that without out him we have no hope for the tournament. Has everyone given up on the rest of the team?! I haven't. I keep waiting to see Sacre regularly sacreficing [sic(k)] the opponents at the rim and on the boards. If he acts like the beast he is capable of being and Gray continues to be superhuman, we could be dancing in a rain of wildcat blood.
We could sure use Harris, but we have enough depth, size, and heart (hopefully also of the wildcat-still-beating-in-our-hand-after-ripping-it-out-of-their-chests variety) to get it done without him. This is my call for some sacrefice [sic(k)] on Rob's part, so we can have some sacreficial [sic(k)] wildcats for dinner.

Delta Residents Are Calling For Full MAEP FundingBy Paul Boger | Published 21 Jan 2014 08:30am |
Parents and teachers from the Mississippi Delta are calling on lawmakers to fully fund the Mississippi Adequate Education Program. MPB's Paul Boger reports advocates believe funding shortfalls have had negative affect on the state's poorest schools.
Standing on the steps of the Capitol yesterday, students, teachers, and parents from the Mississippi Delta waved signs and yelled chants hoping to catch the attention of lawmakers. Their message was simple, fully fund the Mississippi Adequate Education Program.
Barbara Brooks is with the Southern Rural Black Women's Initiative -- the group responsible for the rally. She says a quality education should be the state's top priority.
"Quality education accessible to all children regardless of race, class, status, special need and location of residence is essential to the foundation of a healthy and just society."
Students from the Delta also feel like their schools are being overlooked. Destiny Keyes graduated from Gentry High School in Indianola. She says a lack of school funding left her ill prepared for college.
"When I got to college I was far from prepared." said Keyes. "There were so many things that I had to teach myself that I didn't get a chance to learn whil I was in high school. When students make that transition from high school to college they shouldn't have to teach themselves everything that they should have gotten during their high school years because of a lack of funding and a lack of resources.
Since the formula was created in 1997, the Mississippi Adequate Education Program has only been fully funded twice -- in 2003 and 2007. Republican lawmaker Terry Brown who is President Pro Tem of the Senate. He calls the program a failure.
"Formulas, one year it fits they other it don't." said Brown. It's kind of a eschewed formula so I'm in favor of doing away with it and just coming in with honest budget request and let's see if we can fund it.
The Mississippi Department of Education has asked for a 308 million dollar increase in funding for MAEP for the upcoming fiscal year.

Minnesota downs Illinois, 3-0
Sept. 23, 2006
Champaign, Ill. - Illinois got 17 kills from Kayani Turner and 11 kills from Vicki Brown, but Minnesota prevailed 30-27, 30-18, 32-30 Saturday night in front of 1,656 at Huff Hall.
Minnesota out-blocked Illinois, 11-4 and out-hit the Illini .231-.125. Lizzie Bazzetta totaled 41 aces, while Edinger paced three Illinois players with 18 digs. Meredith Nelson had 12 kills while Jessy Jones had eight block assists for the Gophers.
Games one and three were tough battles. After Minnesota (8-4, 2-0) took an early lead in game one, the Illini (9-3, 0-2) went in front 12-8. An ace from Meghan Macdonald and a block from Stephanie Alde and Vicki Brown provided the key points in an 8-2 Illinois run. The Illini took its last lead at 21-20 before the Gophers slowly edged in front. Minnesota had five blocks in the opening game to Illinois' one and the Illini committed five service errors. Turner helped Illinois close to within 26-25 by maneuvering her swing around the Gopher double block on two occasions. Turner had six kills in the opening game for Illinois while Brown had five kills in nine attacks primarily on the back sets from Bazzeta. Nelson's six kills paced Minnesota's attack as the Gophers out-hit the Illini .268-.152 in the opening game.
Illinois struggled in game two, making 11 hitting errors and five service errors of the 30 Minnesota points. Three of those hitting errors came via three Gopher blocks. Turner had three kills in the game for Illinois, but the Illini hit -.031 compared to .167 for Minnesota. Illinois was as close as 10-7, before Minnesota got things going, taking a commanding 20-12 lead and cruising from there.
The Illini fed off the boisterous crowd in game three. Illinois regrouped at the start of the game, bolting to a 7-2 lead. Amy Palash had an ace that hugged the back line and Meghan Macdonald had a well-placed ball in between Gopher defenders. After Illinois took early 9-5 and 16-13 leads, the Gophers seemingly had the game in hand up 26-23. Turner got the Illini rally started with a kill inside the Minnesota block. Alde swiped a ball off the block to make it 27-26 and several impressive Illinois digs kept a long rally alive before the Illini forced a Minnesota hitting error to tie the game at 27-27.
Bazzetta again fed the outside to Alde, who powered one home as Illinois went in front 28-27. A pair of Minnesota blocks gave the Gophers the first of what turned out to be three match point opportunities. The Illini fought off the first two of those, including one on a thunderous kill from Brown to make it 30-30. Minnesota, however, scored the final two points of the match to claim the victory.
"I think this weekend showed that we could compete in the Big Ten," said Bazzetta. "Now it's just a matter of us believing that we can win."
"I think in tonight's match we took some steps forward in some areas and had some key players step up," said Illinois Head Coach Don Hardin. "Minnesota just made some plays on key points and we were not able to get over that hump."

Hannahan activated and demoted?
If you scroll down to April 30th, it says the Mariners activated Jack Hannahan from the DL and then put him back in Tacoma. Normally, Yahoo!'s transactions page is incredibly accurate, but nobody picked up on this development anywhere, so I don't know whether or not to believe it. Does the community have any thoughts on whether this actually happened, and if so, why it happened?

I am sure all of you have heard the song Patience by Guns 'N' Roses, but unfortunately it is the tech world that has been drilling that lesson of life into us.
There wasn't a considerable drop in the price through the festive season; so, a little more patience?
Surely, many of you have seen that Samsung and Apple have come up with a range of new products with consistency, but fortunately or unfortunately we are prudent and our bank accounts haven't been on our side.

First, my nearly 13 year old wanted to be in the teen program. We asked both the cruise line and the travel agent before we left and we were reassured there was no problem. But there was. She was not allowed to join the program and had to stay in the 10-12 age group and she was not so pleased. The restrictions on the children in that program were extensive and often just plain silly. One young staff member embarrassed her greatly in front of the teens and she was mortified. He is young and didn't know about how sensitive 12 year olds can be but he should do better.
The room had a nice ocean view but it was SO loud. We could easily hear folks in the hall and in both adjoining rooms speaking in normal voices. In other words, zero privacy. We could also hear the sounds from the theatre during rehearsals and performances so clearly I knew exactly what lyrics they were singing. When I complained at the front desk, she told me ear plugs are sold on board. Many things on board are expensive -- $11 for a pilates class, $12 for yoga, $119 to just sit in the spa area and enjoy the indoor pool and deck chairs, many expensive restaurants.
When the main dining room is full, if you don't want to wait they suggest for $25 per person, you can upgrade to another, nearly empty, restaurant. The main dining rooms are attractive and we enjoyed the meals. But they are crowded and busy. The wait staff was clearly working really hard and had no time to be friendly or gracious. Many of the wait staff speak less than fluent English and had a lot of trouble understanding us. We paid a low price for the cruise but in fact many things are not included and are, in my view, over priced.
The ship is attractive but there are not a lot of things to do. The pool is tiny. Really more of a wading pool than a proper pool. I never swam because it was too small to swim in and there were always dozens of young people sitting around with beers with their feet in the shallow water. The piped in music also annoyed me. I love music but shrieking loud pop is not my thing and anywhere near the pool is too loud to even speak. The atrium also had loud annoying 70s and 80s pop playing often during the day. It was hard to find a peaceful place to sit and read as all the chairs in the deck's quiet area filled early. There is almost no shade anywhere and the few shady spots fill quickly. On a previous cruise on Royal Caribbean we had none of these issues and there were a lot more activities and a real pool. I would not recommend this cruise ship and I think for the same price you can do a lot better.

JACKSON, MS (AP)--New this morning! The Department of Justice now has more than a month to respond to the appeal of reputed Ku Klux Klansman, James Ford Seale.
The appeal comes after his conviction for kidnapping two black men who were killed in rural Mississippi back in 1964.
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court granted the Justice Department a deadline of August 9th to respond to the appeal.
The government initially had a deadline which was set for this Friday.
In March, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Seale's conviction.
Seale, is now 74, was convicted back in 2007 of two counts of kidnapping ... and one of conspiracy to commit kidnapping. He was given three life sentences.
Authorities say Henry Hezekiah Dee and Charles Eddie Moore, both 19, were beaten by Klansmen and thrown into a muddy backwater of the Mississippi River.

On the subject of parental corporal punishment, former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele admitted that he "had a few spankings" growing up before the discussion turned to Wagner.
"I feel like they, we do not want the Youtube clip of like 'Were you spanked Alex Wagner?,'" Wagner replied, laughing and dodging the question. She then noted, "Uh, but, there was a spare the rod, spoil the child, uh, thesis at my house."

ADAMTS Proteases and Their Roles in Joint Tissues
First identified in 1997, ADAMTS proteases have been associated with a number of different diseases and are of high biomedical relevance. Proteases are molecules that "cut up" proteins into two or more smaller components. The process of cutting up large protein molecules is called proteolysis and is an essential housekeeping task in such musculoskeletal tissues as muscle, bone and connective tissues, which undergo constant wear and tear, breakdown and rebuilding. This remodeling process is particularly active during growth and development, inflammation, alterations in bone density such as in osteoporosis, disuse of connective tissues, and during cartilage destruction in arthritis.
ADAMTS Family Members
The nineteen different ADAMTS proteases are specialists, that is, they cut only certain molecules and they cut them at very specific sites. These products of proteolysis may then be used in other cellular functions or may be cleared from the body. In fact, many of the body's normal functions require that precursor proteins undergo proteolysis before they become fully functional. The best example of this in musculoskeletal tissues is collagen, which is made by cells as a non-functional precursor called procollagen. The ends are then snipped off by proteases (one end is snipped off by specialized ADAMTS proteases) to allow it to function well. Genetic mutations in the proteases that do this cause severe connective tissue disorders.
Suneel S. Apte, MBBS, DPhil, of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio, has received a grant from the Northeastern Ohio Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation to study members of this family of proteases that are relevant to arthritis. Several ADAMTS proteases and the related ADAMTS-like proteins were discovered or first characterized by his laboratory.
ADAMTS and Cartilage
Taken together with the work of several other research groups working on ADAMTS proteases all over the world, there has been much progress in understanding what ADAMTS proteases do in the joints and related musculoskeletal tissues. This family of proteases is now a major area of significance in arthritis and musculoskeletal research.
ADAMTS5 and ADAMTS4 have been identified as the major culprits responsible for destruction of cartilage aggrecan in arthritis. Cartilage aggrecan, together with the specialized collagen present in cartilage, provides it with the ability to resist mechanical loads. In arthritis, first the aggrecan and subsequently the collagen are lost. One of the major activities in Dr. Apte's group is identifying what the normal functions of these proteases might be, so that in efforts to target them for prevention of cartilage degradation, the potential side effects may be understood and avoided. Many years ago, in work also supported by the Arthritis Foundation through an Arthritis Investigator award, Dr. Apte made a number of contributions to the understanding of TIMP3, a protease inhibitor, which today is being looked at as a possible treatment for arthritis because it is a good inhibitor of ADAMTS4 and ADAMTS5.
Dr. Apte's Current Grant
The two-year Northeastern Ohio Chapter grant specifically supports studies on ADAMTS7, which is present in developing muscle, bone and cartilage and is known to cleave COMP, a protein present in cartilage. ADAMTS7 was first discovered in Dr. Apte's lab and the initial discovery was accompanied by the realization that, unlike any other protease, it was coated with chondroitin sulfate, which was especially unusual and suggested this enzyme was highly specialized. The current studies have identified the points along the protease at which chondroitin sulfate is attached and are now asking what the effect of removing the chondroitin sulfate will be. In addition, the work has revealed that developing musculoskeletal tissues, especially muscle, are highly enriched in ADAMTS7. The main question being asked now is what this protease does, so the laboratory is attempting to identify additional protein targets.
Additional Projects
In studies supported by the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Apte's research team studies the role of ADAMTS10 in Weill-Marchesani syndrome (a rare, genetic disorder characterized by short stature; unusually short fingers; and distinctive eye abnormalities). Although this syndrome is rare, it is of great interest because it is the opposite of the Marfan syndrome (a relatively common inherited disorder that affects the connective tissue of the heart, blood vessels, musculoskeletal system and eyes, resulting in unusual height and long fingers and toes; especially of concern, the syndrome also causes a propensity to expansion and rupture of the aorta). Earlier, Dr. Apte's group had shown that ADAMTS3 was likely to be responsible for the maturation of collagen in cartilage and bone and had provided new insights on the clinical features of one of the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (a group of hereditary connective tissue disorders characterized by collagen defects). Recently, the group has determined that ADAMTS9 and ADAMTS20 have a major role in allowing the palate to form normally, since a defect in these enzymes in mice leads to cleft palate, which is one of the commonest human birth malformations.
Importance of Basic Research
The kind of basic science research undertaken by Dr. Apte's lab usually gets little recognition or publicity because its potential effect on disease is sometimes hard to imagine, and because the scientific and technical details are often unglamorous. However, it is the knowledge gained through these fundamental inquiries that opens doors, leads to new questions and more discoveries that may be translated into diagnostic biomarkers or disease cures. Without understanding the elemental roots of disease and the ins and outs of how molecules work, successful treatments and potential cures may be harder to come or may be based on incomplete knowledge. Dr. Apte emphasizes that the support and encouragement he received from the Arthritis Foundation early in his career allowed him to take the critical steps to becoming an independent investigator, and have motivated him to continue working in areas of interest to the Foundation. Additionally, the funding received by his group supports the training of students and postdoctoral fellows and ensures that future generations of scientists will continue to be involved with the problems of arthritis.

He's 6'3, and on the skinnier side, but is not afraid to come up and hit. He has good ball skills and is a rangy kid. We'd like to see more of him this year as he steps into a full time role as one of the leaders on that defense with Tamani Carter, Eilar Hardy and others gone.

jojosbro asked:You seem like a very angry person... Does ranting to the internet help you manage such emotions?
Dear reader, I hope you won't mind me taking so long to respond. It's just that I have been busy and I didn't want to write a half-assed answer because this is a completely and totally serious subject.
I'm not an angry person. Not in a "I never get angry" sense, more in a "I get angry just the right amount of time" sense.
Having said that, I do need to point out that sometimes, anger is justified. Do you know when? I'll name some examples.
It's completely justifiable to get angry at a stupid TV show. Also, you can get pissed off at a video game that insults your intelligence. Or at a desktop interface. You can get pissed off when Mark Shuttleworth messes with your window buttons so you have to keep track of where they are. It's also natural to get pissed off when the president of your own country makes a complete dicky dick of himself and states that ACTA is awesome. Sometimes you can get angry at people blaming Linux for their own stupid mistakes.
So, dear reader, while it is true that my blog posts are somewhat on the ranty side, by no means are they untrue. To err is human, to rant divine. At least sometimes you get a little notification from someone who liked your post and you see they are almost as ranty as yourself. That feels kinda good, you know?
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed your stay and please, PLEASE, don't watch Level Up, that show is a horrible piece of shit. :P

New York, January 10, 2013 - The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® today announced an additional infusion of funds resulting from the "Magnificent Jewels" auction at Sotheby's that took place on December 5, 2012. The sale raised $19.1 million from more than 35 pieces of jewelry from the Evelyn H. Lauder and Estée Lauder collections. All proceeds will benefit the Evelyn H. Lauder Founder's Fund, created in memory of the late Chairman who died on November 12, 2011. The Founder's Fund now totals $27 million.
"On behalf of the Lauder family, we are pleased that the beautiful and unique pieces owned by my dear wife Evelyn and my mother Estée have found new homes, while at the same time raising significant funds for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation," said Leonard A. Lauder, Acting Chairman, BCRF and Palm Beach resident. "Our hope is that one day this disease will be a thing of the past. The proceeds from the sale will support the critical research necessary to bring us closer to achieving our goal."
These funds will make it possible for BCRF to design and conduct a comprehensive, international project to analyze the molecular abnormalities in metastatic breast cancer. This follows last month's announcement of plans for the first phase of the Evelyn H. Lauder Founder's Fund project, which will include an extensive, international, collaborative analysis of the molecular abnormalities in metastatic breast cancer in the context of defined treatments and outcomes, which has never before been conducted. Evelyn Lauder's mission was to bring about prevention and a cure for the disease; this fund in her memory provides the means to fulfill her goal.
"The Founder's Fund will enable us to find out the changes in DNA, RNA, and proteins that make metastatic breast cancer--and probably many other types of cancer--so destructive and life-threatening," said BCRF Scientific Director Larry Norton, MD, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. "Moreover,
we will be able to examine why some cancers respond extremely well to therapy while others do not
and potentially change those resistant tumors into sensitive ones. The extraordinary collection of dedicated scientists and clinicians in our organization, our international scope, and our laser-like focus on quality research for the purpose of eradicating breast cancer are now energized. This is a most exciting moment in history."

The Feminine Mystique (50th Anniversary Edition) by Betty Friedan
Introduction by Gail Collins
Afterword by Anna Quindlen
Norton • $25.95 • ISBN 9780393063790
Published February 11, 2013
I first read The Feminine Mystique as a freshman in high school. It wasn't for a class. I was on a Shirley Jackson kick and came across something connecting her to Friedan, her contemporary. (I believe it was about how most of Jackson's female characters seemed to buy into the "mystique" that Friedan would shortly identify and attack.) Curious, impressionable, and attending an all-girls school, I put down my copy of We Have Always Lived in This Castle and turned my attention to Friedan.
Although reading The Feminine Mystique (first published in 1963) certainly filled me with slack-jawed disbelief and table-pounding indignation at how the women of my grandmother's generation had been viewed and treated—and made me question my love of all of the Doris Day-Rock Hudson/Cary Grant rom-coms of the '50s and early '60s—I was still young. I hadn't entered the workforce, and I hadn't even kissed a boy yet. I couldn't really relate except through my imagination. Still, it stuck with me.
Fast-forward more than 20 years. The recent release of a 50th anniversary edition of The Feminine Mystique served as the perfect prompt for me to revisit Friedan's groundbreaking work on "the problem that has no name"—the underlying discontent and resentment of a generation of women who were told that they should find satisfaction and fulfillment in housewifedom. The book was controversial and divisive from the moment it was published, but more importantly, it also inspired a generation of women to stand up for themselves and reclaim their lives.
In a new introduction written for this edition, New York Times columnist Gail Collins calls the book "a very specific cry of rage about the way intelligent, well-educated women were kept out of the mainstream of American professional life and regarded as little more than a set of reproductive organs in heels." While that description hardly seems applicable to the women of today, both Collins and writer and journalist Anna Quindlen—in a new afterword—remark upon the still-persuasive power of Friedan's words, as well as the timelessness and relatability of the stories shared by the women she interviewed while researching and writing the book.
The Feminine Mystique is fascinating as a historical account of the first stirrings of the women's movement. It still has me slack-jawed at some moments and pounding the table at others. But it is also remarkably inspiring and definitely worth revisiting—or reading for the very first time—whatever generation you belong to. I'll get you started with the pitch-perfect opening paragraph:
The problem lay buried, unspoken, for many years in the minds of American women. It was a strange stirring, a sense of dissatisfaction, a yearning that women suffered in the middle of the twentieth century in the United States. Each suburban wife struggled with it alone. As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband at night—she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question—"Is this all?"

The Carolina Panthers handled a team they should have beaten -- this hasn't always been the case in 2013, so fans should relish this victory. Cam Newton was sensational, but didn't grade exceptionally well according to Pro Football Focus.
Newton finished the game with a +0.8 rating, which is above average but not outstanding. Curiously he was awarded a -1.3 on the pass, despite completing over 75-percent of his throws and failing to throw an interception. I reached out to PFF to try and understand the grade, which they attribute largely to a lack of deep throws.
@James_Dator Didn't make an awful lot of positive throws. 2 completions further than 10 yards in air— Pro Football Focus (@PFF) October 15, 2013
Three up
Travelle Wharton (+5.2)
A late-camp acquisition, Wharton has been fairly mediocre in 2013 -- but against the Vikings he was near-unstoppable. An astoundingly good run block rating was the reason for success, as the left guard finished with a +4.1 in this category. It should also be noted that he allowed just one hurry on the day, and stood strong against a talented pass rush.
Greg Olsen (+3.9)
Olsen received this because of his run blocking, yes you read that right. He's a player who normally fits the role of "tall wide receiver," but on Sunday he was asked to stay home in the backfield, catch flea-flicked screen passes and play like a regular in line tight end. His blitz pickup was vital in allowing Brandon LaFell's deep touchdown, and it was a great day overall from the tight end.
Mike Tolbert (+3.2)
The bowling ball rumbled his way to a +3.2 rating on the day because of his balanced play. Tolbert was a +1.4 grade as a receiver and +1.1 as a rusher, en route to his best game of the season. It was a welcome sight to see Mike Shula use the fullback correctly, and continuing to make him an offensive focus will pay dividends.
Three down
Star Lotulelei (-2.3)
Something has to be up with the Panthers first round pick. Lotulelei was on the field for 34 snaps, and was completely invisible. This was his first game without registering a single statistic, and he was held in check all game long. Perhaps teams are starting to scheme against Lotulelei, which isn't a bad thing -- but it would be nice to see him make an impact also.
Sione Fua (-2.0)
Sunday's game was a bad day for every Panthers' defensive tackle, which could say more about the Vikings' offensive line and Adrian Peterson than it does about Carolina's lack of talent.
Frank Alexander (-1.6)
The bad news is that Frank Alexander has regressed in 2013, the good news is that Charles Johnson (-1.4) struggled rushing from the same position. Alexander registered just one hurry on 14 pass rush attempts, failing to make an impact in a rotational role.
Carolina's Jekyll and Hyde pass rush needs to improve. There are times the unit looks unstoppable, and those where they'll get completely stonewalled -- Sunday was the latter. Mario Addison graded out as the Panthers' best pass rushing lineman, and that says a lot.

In January, 10-year-old Jamea Collins had a heart transplant after doctors discovered the little girl had a life threatening heart condition.
Now several weeks after the transplant, Jamea is thriving and the community is helping her and her family get back on their feet.
On Sunday, family, friends and even strangers gathered for a benefit dinner to help raise money for Jamea and her mother.
"Her mom had to leave her job, had to leave her place that they lived in and they're basically having to start over," Renee Bennett, a familyfriend told Nashville's News 2.
Bennett planned Sunday night's event and said since Jamea's transplant, she and her mother have been staying at the Ronald McDonald House.
Jamea is set to be released very soon despite not having a place for her and her mother.
"They can stay with family but the doctors are so concerned with germs so they [Jamea and her mother] definitely need their own place and that's whyI'm trying to raise as much money I can," Bennett said.
Bennett planned Sunday night's fundraiser and sold nearly 100 tickets.
All of the items for Sunday's benefit dinner were donated by local restaurants and vendors.
If you'd like to help Jamea, donations can be made at any Regions Bank c/o Margo Lee, Jamea's mother.

12/12/2005: "County Questions Rosario EIS Responses"
Commissioner Lichter joined staff from CD&PD (Community Development and Planning Department) to meet with representatives from Rosario Resort on Thursday, (December 8), to discuss how the Resort's EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) might address issues that had been raised by county staff. The EIS is required as part of the planning process for the new resort master plan.
The county staff will receive the amended EIS later this month for additional review, and then the two groups will meet again to outline the next steps.
The Guardian had asked to attend the meeting as a reporting observer, but were informed the meeting was closed to the public.
According to a press release from the CD&PD, Mike Usen, project manager representing Olympus Real Estate Partners -who own the resort- is quoted as saying: "We had a productive meeting with the new director Ron Henrickson (of the CD&PD) and his staff, and we agreed to some immediate actions to further develop the EIS," and "We are going to revise the draft EIS further to address county issues now that we have necessary clarification on these items."
For his part, Henrickson, who has just assumed the directorship of the CD&PD, released a statement that "We have a shared goal of redeveloping the historic resort as well as to have a sound environmental review of the plan. "We are moving ahead as carefully and quickly as prudent. We certainly appreciate the contribution the resort makes to our island quality of life."
Pending the results of the review of the changes to the EIS, a time certain may be set for Planning Commission review of the resort master plan; and this review will be open to the public.

It's officially beach season, which means we're getting reacquainted with the sundresses in our closets, doing our morning crunches, and looking for the perfect pair of sunglasses. Here, our accessories buyers have rounded up a huge selection of irresistible, statement-making shades: Choose from round frames, aviators, retro-cat eyes, and cool studded options, just to name a few.

But there's a silver lining — we've put all those stylish pieces in one place for easy browsing (and picking). We've only got a few of each item in stock, so move fast before we run out.
Regardless of what a father says, he definitely wants a great gift this Father's Day. Here, we've got a handpicked selection of gifts for him, including watches, books, barware, and more.
Inspired by a collection of vintage sunglasses, the brothers Leight created their first collection of Oliver Peoples glasses over 25 years ago. The glasses have been popular ever since and it's easy to see why — sleek takes on aviators, tortoiseshell frames, polarized lenses, and more. All that is on full display here, just in time for a summer full on sun-soaked activities.

Quade wants back in baseball
Article in the Des Moines paper about what Quade has been up to and that he misses the game. He does not throw anyone under the bus, which he could have. Put all the clapping, nicknames and strange moves aside. I feel he didn't stand much of a chance at being successful with what Hendry gave him to work with. But, I'm glad things changed and a new direction is underway. I hope this works out sooner rather than later.
