Futurama premiered on Fox in 1999. It ran sporadically for five seasons until Fox cancelled Futurama in 2003. Futurama re-surfaced on Adult Swim until Comedy Central snapped it up in 2008. Because the show saw good ratings in re-runs, four straight-to-DVD Futurama movies were ordered. Futurama premiered new episodes on Comedy Central on June 24, 2010.
Futurama is about a pizza delivery boy, Fry, who delivers a pizza to a cryogenics lab on New Year's Eve, 1999. He gets frozen by mistake and wakes up one thousand years later. He winds up being a delivery boy for Planet Express. In the five seasons of Futurama, we come to know Fry is a loser, but we love him anyway. He befriends Bender, an amoral robot, and falls in love with Leela, a one-eyed mutant.
Futurama features a roster of fun and out-of-this-world characters. Philip J. Fry is an anti-hero who relishes a second chance at life in the 31st Century. Leela is a one-eyed mutant from the sewers who kicks butt and endlessly seeks love. Bender is a beer-guzzling, cigar-smoking robot with no ethics. Professor Farnsworth is a descendant of Fry's who owns Planet Express. Planet Express also employs Amy, Dr. Zoidberg and Hermes.
Matt Groening and David X. Cohen, both of The Simpsons, created Futurama. The staff of writers includes several with Ph.D.s in math and science.
DVD Movies:
The first straight-to-DVD Futurama movie, Bender's Big Score, was released on November 27, 2007. Three more movies followed. They were released in the following order:
My Two Cents:
When Futurama first premiered, I was ready to hate it. How could Matt Groening abandon The Simpsons for such an outlandish animated series? It's in space! Well, I was happily surprised to discover that Futurama was funny and smart. I wish the show had prospered, but how could it when Fox changed timeslots too often and put the show on hiatus for long periods? Though I credit Futurama for the decline of The Simpsons, I'm thrilled to see new episodes on Comedy Central.

Albany - In the case of an emergency, we all know to dial 911. But if you live in a gated community, it may take longer for help to get to you.
You wake up to the sounds of someone breaking into your house. You immediately call 911, knowing help is now on the way. But, the security gate built to keep intruders out is now stopping emergency crews from reaching you.
"They can be an obstacle," said Assistant Fire Chief James Carswell. With more neighborhoods installing security gates, emergency crews have had to overcome this challenge.
"Emergency crews can use a universal code on most gates, allowing us access to these communities," said Charles Callahan, 911 Communications. "If the universal doesn't work, the sound of an emergency siren should open the gate."
"The sirens on our fire trucks work on most systems. If the sound doesn't open the gate, we can use the universal code. And if we have to, we will physically remove the gate," said Carswell.
Firefighters plan ahead for challenges such as gates. They learn the obstacles they may face for each house. "We are constantly surveying the neighborhoods, to make sure we can easily access houses or apartments."
Carswell promises if you're in danger, emergency crews will do whatever it takes to get to you. When you move to a new house or apartment, you should call the 911 communication office and tell them your correct address and gate code.

A Multi-disciplinary, Multi-level Innovation-team Course
North Dakota State University-Main Campus, 2008 - $9,000.00
This project supports a course focused on micro-manufacturing innovation in the field of medical and dental products. The course could be expanded to become a compilation of offerings with different technological emphases but a similar structure and innovation-centered context. All the resulting courses would: 1) be open to students majoring in any subject relevant to the topic of the innovation, and would also be made available to students attending NDSU's global partner institutions and students within the Tri-college network in the region; 2) create an enabling and sustainable framework for innovation teams to secure resources through partnerships with industrial organizations and private entrepreneurs, as well as through grants from governmental and foundation resources; and 3) potentially serve as departmental electives and have course credit hours fulfill graduation requirements.

Gardeners in Maine are anxious to get started planting their gardens. We have been waiting all winter to get out and till the soil, add our soil nutrients and amendments, and plant. But wait, planting some vegetables too early can lead to crop failures. We have warm season and cool season crops. Many of our "early season" crops can be planted in early May. Many of our "late season" crops need to wait until late May or June to be planted or transplanted into our gardens.
Where you live makes a difference in when your garden will be ready to plant. If you are on the coast of Maine, your growing season starts a lot earlier than a garden in central or northern Maine. See Maine Climate Data to view "Maine Freeze – Frost Date" differences around the state of Maine from based on temperature records from 1971 to 2000.
In central Maine (Dover-Foxcroft region), the average frost free date is the end of May. Average means you have a 50-50 chance that the last frost date could be after this. We usually suggest that folks add an additional two weeks to their average frost free date to reduce the chance of frost damaging your crop. That said, I do remember a year that the strawberries had to be protected (by irrigation) from spring frost on June 13th. And you never know when we will be setting a new record for the last frost free date. Keep an ear to the weather forecast and be prepared to cover any susceptible plants if frost threatens.
The type of soil you have can make a big difference in when your garden will be ready to plant. Heavy, wet clay soils are slow to dry out and will be later to till. Sandy, well drained soils dry out quickly and heat up quickly. They will be ready to till sooner and will be warmer sooner for our warm season crops. Heavy clay soils can be amended with organic matter such as compost, peat moss, etc. to improve soil drainage and help the soil warm up quicker in the spring. Another technique is to build either ridges or raised beds so the water will drain more quickly and warm the planting bed faster. How can you tell how warm your soil is? Use a thermometer with a long stem that you can place at least 3 inches down into the soil. If we have a cold rain, it will drop the soil temperature to the air temperature and your soil will have to warm up all over again. I can remember getting 4 inches of snow May 14th. Yes, it melted the next day, but it took the soil a few days to warm up again.
What you plan to plant makes a big difference on when you can plant the crop. Early crops that can tolerate cool soils can be planted as soon as you get your garden prepared in the spring time. Lettuce, onions, peas, radish, spinach, turnips, cabbage, carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, and chard will germinate at cooler soil temperatures (40 degrees F), but it will take a lot longer and so you may want to consider using fungicide treated seed or wait until the soil warms up. For example, lettuce can take up to 15 days to germinate at 40 degrees F and only 4 days at 60 degrees F.
Warm season crops like beans, cucumbers, eggplant, melons, peppers, pumpkins, squash, and tomatoes do best at soil temperatures of 60 degrees. Transplants such as tomatoes that get chilled (temperatures below 50 degrees) stop growing for a couple weeks, so you will want to consider providing some type of protection if you plan to transplant these plants early.
You can get an early start in your garden by using some garden season extension techniques presented in Bulletin #2752, Extending the Garden Season. This fact sheet is filled with ideas for using plastic mulches, row covers, cold frames, hoop houses, and hot caps, and includes videos on how to make a raised bed. Also, Bulletin #2763, Garden Equipment and Items to Make for the Garden, has more ideas for starting seeds, container gardens, and coverings for your raised bed gardens.
Healthy Gardeners = Healthy Gardens
By Corie Washow, AgrAbility Program Coordinator, University of Maine Cooperative Extension, Androscoggin/Sagadahoc Counties, firstname.lastname@example.com
As gardeners, we put a lot of energy into supporting a plant's natural systems and parts. We don't just drop a tomato seed in the dirt at the edge of the sidewalk and expect to come back in a few months to harvest. If despite all our attention to growing medium, nutrients, temperature, timing, staking, etc., our tomatoes don't grow well, we look at every part of the system and figure out what is within our control to change. Can we increase soil health, provide more/less water, create warmer conditions, manage pests better, or take measures to avoid disease? We respect the complicated system of the tomato plant, and know that to get the best results, we have to pay attention, proactively and reactively, to every step of the process.
Considering all the effort we put in to obtaining a juicy tomato or vibrant rose, it is surprising how little effort we put in to making sure that we, the gardeners, are similarly cared for. Until they are screaming at us, we don't think much about the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and other body parts that interact in amazingly complicated ways to allow us to lift, carry, bend, push, and pull to accomplish our goal of healthy, productive gardens.
Just as we can change conditions to improve a tomato's health, there are changes we can make in how we garden that improve the health and functionality of our system. For example, we all know the pain that comes from too many hours battling lamb's quarters or hairy galinsoga. How many of the variables that contribute to the pain of weeding can we adjust? Here's a partial list:
Some of these solutions may be outside of your control. I recently heard some great advice from an occupational therapist. She said that, of course, we can't control everything. But we always have some control over how we are using our bodies. Even shifting one action in 10 can be a 10% improvement. Maybe that translates into having the stamina to do a 10% larger garden, or garden for 10% longer a time, or simply have 10% more energy at the end of the gardening day to enjoy your friends and families. Ten percent is within everyone's reach.
Tools are one area that can easily make a 10% difference. Start researching ergonomic tools and you will see all sorts of options that look a little strange, but may be a much better fit for your body. You can also adapt tools you already have with minimal cost, or build a tool that addresses your own particular challenge. There are several things you should look for when purchasing/adapting ergonomic garden tools:
Ideally, you'll want to try a tool before buying to make sure it works for your particular gardening needs and your body. Unfortunately, many local garden supply stores do not stock a wide range of ergonomic tools. Shop around, though, and if you can't find anything locally, read reviews on the internet or talk to gardening friends who may have experience with particular tools. In southern Maine, visit the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens to see their display of ergonomic tools and accessible gardening modifications.
Far too often, gardeners tolerate unnecessary pain, damage their bodies, or are forced to give up gardening entirely. Gardening, as we all know, is a labor of love. Don't let that labor of love just become labor! Offer your body the same care and respect that you do your plants, and you will be able to continue producing healthy food and beautiful flowers for many years to come.
The following are useful websites for getting a sense of the different types of tools available:

Spring Ephemerals Bring Early Beauty to the Maine Landscape
By Kate Garland, Horticulturist, University of Maine Cooperative Extension, Penobscot County, email@example.com
Spring ephemerals are herbaceous plants that emerge, flower, and develop seeds early in the season; going dormant during summer months. This clever group of plants takes advantage of early spring sunshine before the deciduous canopy above blocks out the light. While they have no aesthetic appeal during their dormant period (the foliage either turns yellow or dies completely back to the ground), they play a larger than normal role at a time when Maine gardeners crave the sight of greenery and flowers. Here are a few native spring ephemerals to add to your garden:
Anemonella thalictriodes – Rue Anemone (zone 4)
White to pink flowers appear in clusters over purplish-green leaves that resemble Columbine foliage. Rue Anemone grows approximately 8" tall, preferring part sun to full shade. Plants may not go completely dormant in summer months in sites where there is adequate moisture.
Dicentra eximia – Wild Bleeding Heart (zone 4)
Dicentra cucullaria – Dutchman's Breeches (zone 3)
D. eximia has delicate pink, heart-shaped flowers, while D. cucullaria has white flowers that look like a tiny pair of upside-down pants. Both species have finely dissected leaves and grow well in shaded sites. D. eximia can tolerate full sun when sufficient moisture is available.
Dodecatheon meadia – Eastern Shooting Star (zone 4)
This plant has nodding medium-pink flowers similar to Cyclamen. Petals are bent backwards, giving the flower the appearance that it's speeding through the air. Dodecatheon prefers light shade to full sun with moist soils.
Erythrionium americanum – Yellow Trout Lily (zone 3)
This plants mottled purple and gray-green basal leaves are just as appealing as its sweet flower. Yellow nodding flowers have petals that are curled back to reveal several dark orange stamen. Yellow Trout Lily will beautifully colonize a moist, deciduous understory site with very little care.
Mertensia virginica – Virginia Bluebells
Small trumpet-shaped flowers start out pink, eventually maturing to a pale blue. Plants are upright, growing from 1' to 2' tall. Virginia Bluebells grows best in part-sun gardens with moist, rich, well-drained soil.
Be sure to purchase nursery-grown native plants from a reputable nursery. Collection of native plants in the field is strongly discouraged. If you cannot find these plants at your favorite garden center, tell them that you would like to see more native plants offered at their business. Nurseries will generally bring in more native plants if their customers ask for them.

Judge's Former Lucrative Career as Court-Appointed Lawyer Spurs Audit
Posted Feb 24, 2011 6:30 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A new judge in Gwinnett County outside of Atlanta is giving up a lucrative career as a court-appointed indigent defense lawyer.
Judge Rodney Harris submitted more than $1 million in bills for work as a court-appointed lawyer between 2005 and 2010, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. In 2008, one of his busier years, he sought $240,000 for work representing indigent defendants mostly accused of misdemeanors. To earn that much money, Harris would have had to average 92 hours a week, the newspaper says.
The high legal bills have prompted an audit by the county. Harris became a new judge in January for the Recorder's Court, which handles traffic citations and code violations.

Theme: Be the Change!
Alpharetta, GA, United States
November 17th, 2012
Watch video from the event
About this event
Amana Academy students 1st-8th grade are challenged this year to: Be the Change! We are school that fosters Expeditionary Learning and, therefore, we have 10 Design Principles that guide us as we learn about the world. We will connect these Design Principles with how we can be the positive change we wish to see in our society.
Confirmed Speakers
Garret Scislowicz
Garrett Scislowicz, a 9 year old from Amana Academy, has raised butterflies as a hobby since age 5. Garrett's family enjoys gardening which led to Garrett's awareness and importance of butterflies. Garrett's parent's planted dill and parsley every year, which attracted certain types of butterflies as host plants. Garrett father viewed the caterpillars as pests but Garrett viewed them as important pests. So, Garrett carefully removed the caterpillars from the host plants and put them into a butterfly enclosure, caring for them until they went into full metamorphosis. Once they emerged as butterflies he waited until they were ready, then released them into the world. Through The EL Design Principle The Natural World- Garret will show you how he takes care of the butterflies & how they in turn will take care of our planet.
Ry Koopman
Ry Koopman is a 7th grader at Amana Academy. He is fascinated by C.T.E, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. He found out about this when he wanted to play on the Alpharetta Jr. Raiders Football team. His Mom told him about C.T.E. She said "C.T.E is a really bad brain injury in football. Many people have died from this injury." Ry wanted to know more. Then he found out about the Lystead law. The law requires that coaches, players, and parents to properly identify concussion students who might have a concussion. Ry want to make sure that the state of Georgia passws this law so all kids will be safe playing football. Through Responsibility of Learning Ry will show you how education will lead to prevention and less athletes getting injured.
Daniyal Khan
Daniyal is a sixth grader at Amana Academy and he has loved technology since he was born. He met a boy named Kai and found out he had asthma. He researched about asthma and became interested in how it was caused. At first he didn't understand. He decided he would research every day until he finally understood. He did not want more people getting sick so he wanted to make something that reduce asthma cases. Through the EL Design Principle Having Wonderful Ideas- Daniyal will show you how his ideas could reduce Asthma attacks among youth.
Fatma Elassar
Fatma Elassar is in sixth grade and has 4 siblings. (Three are girls, one is a boy.) She has to take care of 3 of her siblings. She has taught them a lot and helped to fix their mistakes. Sometimes her mother thinks she does all the work, but Fatma and her older sister are a big affect in their sibling's lives. At school she corrects the younger children as much as she can. It took her awhile to understand that the mistakes she makes do not only help her but also helps people around her. Through Responsibility of Learning she will show you and others how to be a positive change to those around you.
Rashid Arafath
Rashid Arafath is 6 years old and he's in 1st grade at Amana Academy. Every time he had lunch at school and brought lunch home his mother told him he needed to finish all of his food. When Rashid asked why, his mother said, "There are people who do not have food." So, he decided to finish his food and help those who didn't have any. He is going to start a campaign to help those who do not have any food. Through the EL Design Principle Service and Compassion- He will show you how his campaign will help homeless people plant their own food.
Ehab Jaleel
Mr. Ehab Jaleel is a versatile leader drawing on 20 years of professional experience at General Electric, The Coca-Cola Company, and with various non-profit organizations to head up Amana Academy - a highly regarded K-8 chartered public school in Alpharetta, Georgia that he helped to found. This pioneering Expeditionary Learning school of 660+ students is in its 8th year of operation was honored by The Coca-Cola Foundation as 2011 Georgia Charter School of the Year. The school is indicative of his zeal for pursuing innovation and his ability to mobilize new ventures with an eye toward creating a better world. Mr. Jaleel has degrees in Applied Psychology and Mechanical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and he currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Georgia Charter Schools Association. Mr. Jaleel lives in Roswell, Georgia with his wife and three daughters. He loves outdoor recreation and traveling, and he hopes to be a reporter for National Geographic Traveler when he grows up. Through the EL Design Principle of Responsibility of Learning he will show you how having a passion for education leads to stewardship and developing Citizen Scholars.

Fresh Snow At Canterbury's Mt Hutt (22-Jun-08)
Mt Hutt, NZ, June 22, 2008 - Skiers and riders enjoyed 18cm of fresh snow at Canterbury's Mt Hutt today
Skiers and riders enjoyed 18cm of fresh snow at Canterbury's Mt Hutt today (Monday June 23) and more terrain to play on with the opening of The Towers.
Mt Hutt Assistant Ski Area Manager James McKenzie said the mountain was looking superb and the skiing and riding was fantastic on trail (including Broadway pictured) and off trail.

Some of you may of been thinking that I had given up the woodworking all together given my lack of post lately. Well I have fallen into the wood workers trap, one of them anyway. Too many projects and none getting finished. This is not all my fault but some serious procrastination has been involved as well.
September 2009 my sister is getting married to her childhood sweetheart who she has reunited with after 30+ separation through Facebook. What does she want as a wedding present, "Ohhh I would love a clock". 'Bother' or words to that effect. Well I was already working on a table for a friend so I thought finish the table work on the clock, easy I have a year (wedding scheduled for September 2010). Well the table is still not finished (guilty of hitting above my weight on that one), the wedding is been and gone; and the clock is just finished. Understanding sister thankfully, especially when I explained how much it was costing me.
There were a number of problems that had to be resolved, the mechanism and the design being the main ones. I wanted a mechanical mechanism but I did not want to pay the $1000 plus for all the bits from the retailer. So I bought a dodgy old clock that still worked and pulled it apart. Dont worry the case of the old one was all ply and very ragged. For the design I tried to think of something to reflect ideas such as 'love' (the wedding), guitars (Peter plays very well), or nursing (Heather is a nurse). Hours of sketching ideas gave me nothing so I made a design that I thought was a good one, my own but based on something I have seen.
The case is a solid wood construction from New Guinea Rose Wood. It has a floating panel back and a MDF housing for the mechanism. It was built as a solid box and the door was then cut off. This required the first pin had to be 2mm bigger than all the others to accommodate the 2mm blade cutting it in half. Because the tail on the side of the door was set by the distance from the clock face to the clock window, I decided to make their size incrementally larger because the size did not space evenly across the side (I think it works really well).
The half blind dovetails on the side were my first ever, woo hoo. Gotta be happy with that, but I will probably stuff the next ones. Hehe
The mechanism is suspended on an an MDF frame to avoid any problems from wood movement. The clock face is a Rock Maple veneer over a 3mm MDF substrate for the same reason. The Rock Maple is repeated in a detail on the side of the door
Some of these lessons were a bit harsh, especially because I knew them but life is a harder teacher/reminder.
+ Timber does not like to be left in a car in summer.
+ The MDF frame for the mechanism did not need to be as big as I made it.
+ Procrastination can lead to its own problems.
+ Veneering is harder than it looks.
I gotta tell you, I love this clock. Heather is under orders that when the time comes it has to come back to my son (she has no children of her own).
Expect more soon
PS It is finished, not having numbers or dial marks is intensional. This was inspired by Krenov's clock.

Pegg: I'm the 'funny British guy'
12:10am Sunday 10th June 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Simon Pegg has said working in the US movie industry doesn't automatically make you a Hollywood star.
Since the success of his films Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz, the British actor has gone on to star in Hollywood blockbusters Mission: Impossible 4, Star Trek and Steven Spielberg's Tintin movie adaptation.
He hangs out with A-listers Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. He could even be classed, though probably much against his own wishes, as a celebrity.
But Simon, who seems to be living the dream, is dismissive of such a title. "I don't know if I am big Hollywood star," he said. "I work in America. That doesn't mean you're a Hollywood star - Tom Cruise is a big Hollywood star.
"I'm just an actor and I can fortunately speak the same language as they do so I have the opportunity to work there as well.
"The thing about being in LA, you are in the very thick of the industry and you find yourself getting jobs at dinner, rather than having to make an effort."
Simon, whose latest role sees him play a slovenly writer in Crispian Mills' surreal comedy A Fantastic Fear Of Everything, said he would jump at the opportunity to do some serious drama, but concedes comedy is his "first love".
He has just shot a part in a US TV pilot playing a "Jewish Californian comic", but accepts that Americans see him as "the funny British guy". "I'm the guy who crops up and makes jokes in difficult situations and I'm happy if that's my entry into working in American cinema," he said.
"America is a really prolific market place and they have less trouble getting films made than we do. Because they have an industry, and we just have a lot of talented people trying to make films - that's not an industry."
:: A Fantastic Fear Of Everything is in cinemas now.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau has released the top 10 most-stolen vehicles. The good news is, preliminary FBI data shows auto thefts declined 3.3 percent in 2011 to the lowest level since 1967.
However, there's still thieves out there looking to take your car to the chop shop.
(Click here to read more about the most stolen vehicles in America)
The 1994 Honda Accord tops the list for the fourth year in a row for the nation. In Quincy, law enforcement says the most popular stolen car is a Toyota Corolla.
Sara Stafford owns a Toyota Corolla and says she's had her car broken into before and her valuables stolen. After hearing her car was the most-stolen car in Quincy, she says she's now taking notice.
"I'll just make sure that I don't leave anything valuable in my car and just if I do probably hide it in my trunk somewhere where it's not visible," said Stafford.
Quincy Police say that's a good idea because leaving things in plain sight is one of the main reasons thieves target a car.
"These guys they're looking in cars to start with for things to steal. They get in the car and at that point they find the keys," explains Sergeant Duane Long.
Sergeant Long says last year on average a vehicle was stolen in Quincy once every two weeks. Some of those stole were pick-up trucks.
"Most guys that use trucks haul stuff in them or leave items in them, tools or hunting equipment that kind of thing," said Sergeant Long.
Long says the days of hot-wiring a car are behind us.
"Vehicles are difficult to do that for now, to actually break into the steering column you really have to know what your doing."
However, the new wave of car thieves take the easy route, looking for unlocked cars with keys inside.
"It's a target of opportunity," said Long. "They get in the car for whatever reason, looking for something to steal, find the keys and then steal the whole car."
Sergeant Long says to try and park under well lit areas. Thieves obviously don't want to be caught so they're more likely to target cars in dark, quiet areas.

Over 49 things to see and do in San Francisco
For a small city (about 7 miles by 7 miles), San Francisco changes fast, especially the restaurants. If your itinerary is dominated by reassuring old favorites (Union Square, again! City Lights books, again!), you may be missing a lot. To remedy that, six of us fanned out across the 49 square miles in late fall and early winter, using public transportation -- bus and BART -- and scoped out 49 listings of sweet spots in the city that are new, newly transformed or just underappreciated. (Of course, we ended up with more than 49.)
Image 37 of 54
Foreign Cinema( Christopher Reynolds / Los Angeles Times / November 29, 2012 )
Great food, cool movies. The kitchen turns out elegant California-Mediterranean cuisine and a tall, whitewashed patio wall serves as movie screen. (Titles run in 2012 included "La Vie en Rose" and "The Brother From Another Planet.") Images can be murky, but the food is Technicolor, the ambience singular. Dinner nightly (entrees $20-$29) and weekend brunches. The adjoining Laszlo bar (2526 Mission St., [415] 401-0801) serves up dim, trendy atmosphere with an indoor balcony where you can pretend you're a Hungarian secret agent. (You can also order from the Foreign Cinema menu.) 2534 Mission St.; (415) 648-7600, http://www.foreigncinema.com.

Walking into the school for disabled children was an unsettling experience. Between every pair of cots sat a small child in a wheelchair staring up at me with an inscrutable expression. Tears threatened to reveal my fear and discomfort. I have wanted to be a child psychologist from the age of ten, when my cousin's autism exposed me to experimental treatments of childhood disorders.
I suppose I thought I would walk into the school and know what all the children needed, but once there, I felt helpless. I saw each child as I had seen the one before - someone whom I would never be capable of reaching.
The next day when I returned, I observed the teachers. I wondered how they could be so adept at connecting to these kids who intimidated me. One teacher told me that the majority of the three-years-olds functioned at the level of a one-month-old. If I couldn't speak to them in a meaningful way, read to them, play games or interact on the levels to which I was accustomed, was my task simply to take care of their bodies? I couldn't stop thinking about what they would be like had they been born healthy, and I again left feeling dismayed.
Once the teachers knew I was responsible, my supervisor told me to play with a small boy named Yevgeniy. I spent the next hour looking at him. His infant mannerisms made me want to protect him. He was three and a half but weighed only 17 pounds because his parents had refused to have a feeding tube inserted. I was told that his parents wanted him to die so they could move on with their lives. I pictured his healthy alter ego and tried to imagine the person inside him trying to get out. As I did this, I dangled a chime near his hand, so as he moved involuntarily he would create a high metallic tone. With every sound he created, Yevgeniy squealed excitedly. I discovered he loved sounds. He beamed as I whispered into his ears, or sang.
Yevgeniy and I made our own games. I now know that as soon as I learned who he was, I realized there was no secret identity inside him - he was already somebody very complete. Yevgeniy taught me to see the other children as human beings.
As soon as I saw them as Yevgeniy, who likes to be flipped from stomach to back and to stomach, and Raffi, who likes to give me hugs as I pass him in the hallway, and Patrick, who loves to open and close doors, as soon as I knew them and not just their conditions, I no longer felt afraid. I knew I could connect because we were all human, on every level, and this, I believe, is the secret to being a good psychologist.

San Francisco Giants favorites Tim Lincecum, Hunter Pence and Javier Lopez were claimed on waivers over the weekend, but "none of them are going anywhere," a source has told Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
All three players were thrown onto the waiver wire Saturday and quickly snagged by several teams.
The Giants could still trade any of the three if they wanted to, but Heyman hears that the winning claims were either put in by clubs looking to block a deal, or that San Francisco was never interested in actually parting with the trio. Either way, it doesn't make a deal very likely.
If the Giants -- who are well out of the postseason hunt -- did decide to move the three impending free agents, they could free up nearly $8 million in payroll. However, for players like Lincecum and Pence, a trade would likely come at the cost of a compensation pick. It was reported at the trade deadline that the Giants plan to make qualifying offers to both players, so the asking price for the duo is probably pretty high.
Lincecum, 29, is making $22 million this season, but is no longer the perennial Cy Young candidate he once was. The Freak owns a disappointing 4.55 earned-run average in 26 starts on the year, which is actually an improvement over what he did in 2012.
Pence, 30, has had a bounce-back year in his first full season in San Francisco, batting .279/.327/.446 with 15 home runs in 131 games. Lopez, 36, is putting together his best year out of the bullpen -- albeit in limited time. The southpaw owns a 1.99 ERA and nearly a strikeout per frame in 31⅔ innings as the club's go-to LOOGY this year.

EPIRB issue update
May 28, 2008 in L'histoire de Sean Seamour II, Sean Seamour II log of events
To all concerned by potentially faulty EPIRBS and
registration in participating COSPAS SARSAT countries
Although I have sought to inform the mariner community
worldwide to check their EPIRBs by posting in various forums my near death
experience due to an EPIRB that did not, and that could not fulfill its
function, this alert seems to have gone somewhat unnoticed until gCaptain .com
and Robin Storm focused their attention on the issue. All of a sudden there has
been uproar of naysayers, and I have had to post a response on the blog of one
such. As the fever seems to be spreading I shall repost part of that response
with some amplification.
" I hope you are enjoying your pissing match; it is quite
shocking to watch the real issue of dependability of EPIRBs smothered in such a
shouting match. Whether all the examples of Robin Storm are correct or not, the
fact is there are such cases. I have to remind those that perhaps have not
thought the process through that the most likely outcome of a faulty EPIRB in
critical conditions is a new "lost at sea" entry to a log already too long.
Those cases will never be investigated – without a backup EPIRB Sean Seamour'
crew would be among those lost.
Compounding the issue of the EPIRB malfunction is the fact that it came back
from recertification a week prior to the events.
Further compounding the issue: the hexadecimal code belonged to another boat.
Upon launch of my EPIRB the Coast Guard investigated the database info and
contacted the owner, deducted after battery disconnect a faulty EPIRB on that
other vessel and dropped pursuit of that signal, hence abandoned search and
rescue for my vessel and crew.
This was justified as at about this same time my EPIRB ceased to function,
condemning us to our predicament, if the signal had persisted there is no doubt they would have continued their search and rescue efforts. Had it not been for an eleven year old unit
we thought lost when the rogue wave sheared and sank the hard dodger to which
it was affixed in its cradle we would not be here to relate what happened.
A few days after the rescue, my crew safely home, I contacted ACR – they were
more than expecting my call, informing me "this has happened before", fingering
responsibility elsewhere, anxious to get their hands on my GPIRB. With ten
broken ribs and two back compressions I was not about to run from Cape Cod to
Fort Lauderdale for a postmortem, especially with alarm bells ringing in my
head as they were. I told them I would get back to them and may still.
Surprisingly, never once has ACR sought to make contact of any sort, yet they
have been very attentive to my activities over the past year, blocking some of
my initiatives."
It is wrong for the manufacturer to ensure the postmortem
of a failed unit, their objectivity will always be questioned, all the more as this opportunity is rare, the unit is usually
lost, sometimes with the crew who cannot relate what did and did not happen. My
efforts to have an independent party do the postmortem were blocked.
Regardless of one' opinion on the issue may I say that discussion on and
investigation of the issue is of critical importance to the mariner community
at large. That there is NO doubt these problems exist and need to be addressed
through policy and procedural changes, neither swept nor lobbied under the
carpet. I will close by saying that I will buy another EPIRB, likely a unit
manufactured by ACR, under their brand or another they build for.

This is, of course, a very preliminary guess as to which teams will have significant cap space next summer (ie, more than the expected MLE amount) to be able to make either free agent acquisitions or for use in making lopsided trades. And let me be clear that all we can do today is guess – we don't know what next year's salary cap will be, trades and signings that take place over the next 10 months will obviously affect team salary situations, etc. So for purposes of this evaluation, I am forced to assume that no major roster changes will take place. Yes, I know that in the real NBA, they will – and when they do, this prediction will, of course, be changed. But until then…..
Oh, and for purposes of this 'prediction', I'm assuming a cap figure of $53.5 million. That assumes that BRI will drop significantly in the coming year and that predicted BRI for the 2010-11 season drops as well. Over the last several months, not only have individuals predicted that this will occur, the NBA distributed a memo to its teams warning them of an expected drop in BRI which would directly affect the 2010-11 salary cap figure. I am using the top end of the prediction from this memo for this prognostication.
So here are my best guesses as to which teams will have significant cap space next summer, baring any major player transactions that would, of course, adjust these predictions. I've tried to make the best assumptions possible about team options, player options, guaranteed contracts and ETOs, but as I'm not an expert on every team in the NBA and what they are likely to do, I reserve the right to adjust these guesses over time as I receive your inevitable feedback (which is absolutely welcome!) on which of these are likely and unlikely to actually count in next season's figures:
CHICAGO currently has 4 players under contract for 2010-11 in Deng, Hinrich, Johnson and Gibson. I'm assuming that the team options for Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah will also be picked up. John Salmons has an ETO and there will be a cap hold for their 1st round draft pick (I'm assuming they'll pick #19). If the Bulls do not give Tyrus Thomas a qualifying offer and renounce his Bird rights, the Bulls could have $12.76 million in cap room if Salmons does not exercise his ETO and $18.10 million if he does opt out and is renounced. [This figure includes calculations for 4 cap holds - 5 if Salmons opts out -of $473,604 for having fewer than 12 players on the roster]
HOUSTON currently has 5 players under contract for 2010-11 in Battier, Ariza, Andersen, Budinger and Taylor. I'm assuming that the team options for Carl Landry, Chuck Hayes and Aaron Brooks will be picked up and that Yao Ming does not exercise his ETO. I also assume that Joey Dorsey is not cut before July 1st (which guarantees his 2010-11 salary) and that their own 1st round pick in 2010 is #12, which adds a cap hold of $1.68 million. If no qualifying offer is made to Kyle Lowry, Houston could have $7.55 million in cap room. [This figure includes a calculation for 1 cap hold of $473,604 for having fewer than 12 players on the roster]
LA CLIPPERS currently have Baron Davis, Chris Kaman and Blake Griffin under contract for 2010-11. I'm assuming that they pick up the team options for Eric Gordon and Al Thornton, and that Sebastian Telfair picks up his player option. Assuming that they don't get Minnesota's 1st round pick and that their own 1st round pick is #16, that adds a cap hold of $1.37 million. I'm also assuming that DeAndre Jordan is retained and that his full contract counts against the cap. After accounting for 4 cap holds of $473,604 for having fewer than 12 players on the roster, the Clippers look to have $11.19 million in cap room if they do not make a qualifying offer to Mardy Collins.
MIAMI currently has no players fully guaranteed for 2010-11, but that doesn't mean that they won't have any players on their roster on July 1st. I'm assuming that the Heat pick up the team options on Michael Beasley, Daequan Cook and Mario Chalmers and that Joel Anthony picks up his player option. Also, I'm assuming that their 1st round draft pick is #18 and that they don't get Toronto's 1st round pick ,which adds a single cap hold of $1.24 million. Finally, I'm assuming that they don't retain James Jones, so that only the guaranteed amount of his contract ($1.86 million) counts, which means that there will be 6 cap holds of $473,604 applied for having fewer than 12 players on the roster. In the end, Miami looks to have $21.54 million in cap room if Dwyane Wade picks up his player option. If Wade does not pick up his player option, his free agent cap hold will leave the Heat with $22.12 million in cap room.
MINNESOTA currently has Jefferson, Sessions, Flynn, Hollins and Ellington guaranteed for 2010-11. I'm assuming that they pick up the team options for Love, Brewer and Pecherov. As for 1st round draft picks, the assumption is that their own pick will be #3 and that they will also have #21 from Utah, but not get Charlotte's 1st round pick – these two carry cap holds totalling $4.53 million. Rubio's cap hold will also be in play at $2.81 million. Finally, I'm assuming that they release Ryan Gomes so that only the $1.0 million guaranteed counts against their cap in July – which also means a single cap hold for $473,604 for having fewer than 12 players on the roster. All this would leave the Timberwolves with $11.39 million in cap room.
NEW JERSEY currently has just Devin Harris and Terrence Williams guaranteed for 2010-11. However, I assume that the team will pick up the team options on Jianlian, Lopez, Lee, Douglas-Roberts and Sean Williams. In terms of 1st round draft picks, I'm assuming that their own pick will be #5 and that they also get the #23 pick from Dallas, which means cap holds for $3.81 million. I'm also assuming that they do not release Najera and that his full salary counts against the cap, but that they do release Dooling so that only $500,000 of his salaries is applied against the cap. Finally, I'm assuming that Josh Boone does not get a qualifying offer, which means that there will be 2 cap holds of $473,604 for having fewer than 12 players on the roster. This would leave the Nets with $22.87 million in cap room.
NEW YORK currently has just Hill and Douglas guaranteed for 2010-11, although my assumption is that Curry picks up his player option and Jeffries does not exercise his ETO. I also assume that the Knicks pick up the team options on both Gallinari and Chandler. After accounting for 6 cap holds of $473,604 for having fewer than 12 players on the roster, the Knicks would be left with $23.32 million in cap room.
OKLAHOMA CITY currently has Collison, Krstic, Harden, Mullens and Ibaka under contract for 2010-11. I'm making the assumption that the team picks up the team options on Durant, Westbrook, Green and White. As for 1st round draft picks, I'm assuming that their own pick is #10 and that they get #14 from Phoenix, which makes for cap holds for $3.38 million. Finally, I'm assuming that Sefolosha does not get a qualifying offer and that the team keeps Weaver, guaranteeing his $0.94 million. This would leave the Thunder with $14.54 million in cap room.
SACRAMENTO currently has Martin, Nocioni, Udrih, Garcia, Evans and Casspi under contract for 2010-11, however the assumption is that they also pick up the team options on Hawes, Thompson and Greene. I'm also assuming that they end up with the overall #1 pick in the draft which adds a cap hold of $4.29 million. Finally, I'm assuming that no qualifying offer is given to Rodriguez, meaning that there will be 2 cap holds of $473,604 for having fewer than 12 players on the roster. This would leave the Kings with $7.62 million in cap room.
Here, quickly, are the teams that look to be above the cap next summer, baring any major roster moves between now and then:
ATLANTA – Even before re-signing Joe Johnson, the Hawks have Smith, Crawford, Williams, Bibby, Pachulia and Horford under contract (among others). I'm also assuming they make another Qualifying Offer to Josh Childress. All of this should keep Atlanta well above the cap next summer.
BOSTON – I guess Paul Pierce could use his ETO and give up more than $21 million. But I don't think there's any way he will. You add Garnett, Wallace and Perkins and those four players take the Celtics pretty much to the amount of the salary cap by themselves – meaning that even if they don't re-sign Ray Allen, Boston is going to be above the cap.
CHARLOTTE – If somehow Michael Jordan's dreams come true and Chandler, Radmanovic and Mohammed all exercise their ETOs, the Bobcats will be below the cap. Now let's get back to reality – all those guys will take the guaranteed money and Charlotte will have no cap room next summer.
CLEVELAND – OK, if LeBron James leaves, the Cavaliers will have major cap room. But since this piece assumes that he won't (see paragraph #1), even if he doens't pick up his option, his cap hold will be nearly as much as what his current salary for 2010-11 is set at. That puts Cleveland either above the cap or perhaps – if the team takes some savings out of Delonte West's partial guarantee – a couple of million below the cap. Either way, they won't have significant (ie, greater than the MLE amount) cap room.
DALLAS – Sure, there's a chance that the Mavericks could have cap space. But unless Dirk Nowitzki turns down $21 million and leaves town, Erick Dampier does not meet the performance incentives necessary to make his 2010-11 amount guaranteed and Mark Cuban decides not to pick up the team option on Josh Howard, they will be. My money's on "they'll be above the cap"
DENVER – Anthony, Billups, Nene, Smith Anderson, Lawson – just those 6 players bring the Nuggets to the predicted cap amount, even before accounting for players like Martin (ETO), Afflalo (TO) and Balkman (QO?). No cap space for Denver.
DETROIT – Their opportunity for having cap space was this past summer, and they took that opportunity and spent all the cap room that they had avialable. Now they will have Hamilton, Prince, Gordon, Villaneuva, Maxiell, Wilcox, Stuckey and Daye on their roster in 2010-11, meaning that the Pistons will not have cap room.
GOLDEN STATE – With Ellis, Biedrins, Maggette, Jackson, Turiaf and Curry the Warriors have committed themselves to $45 million in salary. Assuming they pick up the team options on Wright. Law and Randolph, the Warriors don't look to be paying any luxury tax in the Spring of 2011, but they don't look to have any cap room next summer.
INDIANA – They'll be paying out $58 million to Murphy, Granger, Dunleavy, Ford, Foster, the two Joneses and to ex-Pacer Tinsley. They'll probably also be paying out another $3.7 million to Rush and Hibbert. That puts them will above the expected cap.
LA LAKERS - Even if Kobe Bryant opted out and left the Lakers high and dry (not that I expect that to happen), the combined salaries of Gasol, Odom, Bynum, Artest, Vujacic and Walton alone would keep the Lakers above the cap. I think it's safe to say that the Lakers will not have cap space next summer.
MEMPHIS – There's a general feeling that Memphis will once again have cap room to spend next summer. The numbers don't back this up. Randolph, Jaric, Thabeet, Gasol, Haddadi, Carroll and Young represent over $36.5 million in committed salary. The Grizzlies will almost certainly pick up the team options on Mayo, Conley and Arthur, which adds another $10.5 million. Memphis will have their own 1st round draft pick along with the 1st round picks from Denver and the Lakers, which should add another $5 million in cap holds. That's $52 million in team salary even before accounting for Rudy Gay and his free agent status. No, unless they make some drastic salary cuts during the next 9 months, the Grizzlies do not look to have cap room next summer.
MILWAUKEE – After paying Redd, Bogut, Gadzuric, Bell, Delfino, Alexander, Jennings, Ilyasova, Ukic and Meeks their $53.5 million, the Bucks won't have any cap space. Sure, Redd could exercise his ETO, but his free agent cap hold would still be large enough to keep the Bucks near enough to the cap that they wouldn't have any room.
NEW ORLEANS – Count me surprised that after trying to trade Tyson Chandler in a salary dump earlier in the year, the Hornets spent the summer committing themselves to long-term salaries for players like Okafor and Songaila. Their concern in 2010-11 will not be trying to get under the cap but trying to get under the tax threshold, as Paul, Stojakovic, Okafor, West, Posey, Peterson, Songaila, Wright and Collison by themselves represent well over $70 million in salary.
ORLANDO – Another team that committed themselves to long-term salary this past summer, Orlando will also have as their main financial concern not trying to get under the cap but trying to get under the tax threshold. Lewis, Carter and Howard by themselves put the Magic over the cap – and they also have to pay Nelson, Gortat, Pietrus, Bass, Barnes, Anderson and the rest of their roster.
PHILADELPHIA – It should come as no surprise that the Sixers, who have committed themselves to paying the trio of Brand, Iguodala and Delembert a combined $41 million in 2010-11 do not figure to have cap space. Not when they also have to pay Kopono, Green, Williams, Young, Speights, Holiday and Smith – among others.
PHOENIX – Nash, Richardson and Barbosa will count as a combined figure of nearly $32 million. Gragic and Clark will make nearly $4 million. There are team options for Lopez, Dudley and Tucker representing another $6 million. Hill and Frye hold player options for another $5.4 million. And all of this doesn't even account for Stoudemire – who could exercise his ETO, yes, but whose free agent cap hold would still keep the team above the cap. Even if he left outright, the team still might not have greater-than-MLE-level caproom. That's why they're in this list and not the one above.
PORTLAND – Roy has his maximum extension that starts in 2010-11. Aldridge will either have his own extension or will have a huge free agent cap hold. Oden, Webster, Bayless, Fernandez, Batum, Cunningham and Pendergraph represent more than $24.5 million in salary. Add in more than $3.5 million in cap holds for their upcoming 1st round draft pick and former 1st round picks Claver, Freeland and Koponen and the Blazers look to be just about right at the cap figure next July – even if free agents Blake and Outlaw are allowed to walk away. Plus, if Joel Przybilla decides not to exercise his ETO, that will guarantee that Portland is well above the cap (and even if he does, he'll still have a large free agent cap hold).
SAN ANTONIO – the Spurs, not surprisingly, are more concerned with trying to win another championship while they still have the services of Tim Duncan than they are about trying to get under the cap next summer. Duncan and Parker will make more than $32 million combined in 2010-11, Jefferson will count either as his $15 million salary or will have a huge cap hold as a free agent if he utilizes his ETO, Ginobli will have a cap hold of his own that should be well over $15 million – then add in the rest of the roster. Yeah, big surprise that the Spurs won't be under the cap next summer.
TORONTO - the Raptors are another team that added a lot of long-term salary this past summer that will guarantee them to be well above the cap next summer. Turkoglu, Calderon, Bargnani, Jack, Evans, Banks and DeRozen themselves represent nearly $44 million in salary. Bellinelli and Weems represent another possible $3 million. Then add in either Bosh's $17 million salary or a huge cap hold if he chooses not to pick up his player option. And even if Bosh leaves, the amount of cap room that the Raptors will hold might not be of the larger-than-MLE variety.
UTAH – Kirilenko, Williams, Millsap, Okur, Miles, Maynor and Price themselves represent more than $56 million in committed salary. Safe to say that even if Boozer walks as a free agent, the Jazz will be above the cap next summer.
WASHINGTON – The Wizards already have more than $45 million committed to Arenas, Jamison, Butler and Blatche. Stevenson has a player option for more than $4 million. There are team options for Young, McGee and Crittendon that represent another $6.5 million. Plus the team has to deal with free agents Miller, Foye and Haywood (among others). In short, I do not expect the Wizards to have any cap room next summer – and if they do, it won't be more than MLE-level.
Whew! OK, your turn now to tell me if I've got anything wrong so that I can update these predictions!

Go Falcons! Before the Giants game, I was so excited. We were back in the playoffs once again! It didn't matter how the regular season looked. It was anyone's game now! The Falcons had a chance to go to the Super Bowl!
But wait...
Offensively, we had the worst game of the year. Worse than Chicago. Worse Than Houston. Worse than @NO. It was all too familiar. Nothing was happening. This time at full throttle. Nutted by Reality.
And it all came crashing down once again...
How did you cope? Have you adjusted?
...and if you feel like killing yourself, please don't.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The University of San Diego announced Wednesday it was awarded a five-year, $600,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to increase the number of women science and technology professors, especially minorities.
The money will be used to recruit female professors in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, as well as the social and behavioral sciences.
Mary Boyd, dean of USD's College of Arts and Sciences, said women are awarded 40 percent of the doctorates in those disciplines nationally, but make up only about one-third of college faculties.
"We're excited about the opportunity to become a model for undergraduate institutions that want to increase their diversity and provide a supportive environment for female faculty," Boyd said.
She said blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans make up about 10 percent of college professors around the country.
At USD, 41 percent of the professors in technology and science are women, but only five of them are minorities, according to Boyd.

Joe Prezioso, owner of the local restaurant, said he is planning on relocating his business but he has not executed a new lease yet and is still seeking the perfect location.
"I really don't know yet when people can expect to see us again," said Prezioso. "Dealing with new commercial leases is time consuming, and unfortunately it doesn't move at a faster pace."
The owner's suggestion to customers is to come in during the final days at the current location. There is a sign up sheet on the counter for patrons to leave their e-mail address so that as soon as there is a new development, they'll be among the first to know.
Prezioso also owns at 211 Main Street, and he said that business will remain open.
Kendra and Anthony's has been open since 2008. According to Prezioso, it's been an ideal location to serve the Wilmington community from.
"It's been great. We've gotten great feedback and new customers every day, along with repeat customers always coming back," said Prizioso. "It's a great place to live, a great town, and a great place to run a business."
Since he announced that Friday will be his last day running Kendra and Anthony's as it currently exists, Prezioso said he has been dealing with a long list of stunned customers.
"I've been having to pcik up a lot of jaws up off the floor," said Pirzioso. "They're surprised and disappointed because they've enjoyed my products. They're sorry to see me go, but also wishing me luck. But we're looking to be back bigger and better. That's what I'm going for."
