Blogs, Watchdog Reporting, and Scientific Malfeasance
'Bottom line is that it takes time and money to do the kind of muckraking that newspapers have always excelled at, and I'm not sure the blogosphere can reliably reproduce this all-important function.'
By Alison Bass
One afternoon, when I was a reporter for The Boston Globe, a cryptic message found its way to my desk. A woman who called the paper had left her phone number and a message having to do with the misappropriation of funds from the state mental health agency. As the paper's mental health reporter, I received the tip.
It was late in the day and, having just filed a daily story, I almost didn't return the call. But I did, and a person identifying herself as Donna answered. She sounded wary at first but warmed as we chatted; she knew my byline and told me she liked reporting I'd done on recent cutbacks in services for the mentally ill. She let me know that she was the assistant administrator of research for Brown University's department of psychiatry and had in her possession documents proving that her boss, the chief of psychiatry at Brown, was collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health for research that apparently wasn't being done.
In September, "Side Effects" was announced as one of the four recipients of the National Association of Science Writers' 2009 Science in Society Journalism Awards.
Read the Press Release.
And Donna Howard had other allegations to share with me that day. She also suspected that researchers in Brown's psychiatry department were misrepresenting data for two clinical drug trials, including one study on Paxil for treating depression in adolescents. As we spoke that day, I remember typing quick notes with my phone cradled to one ear and thinking to myself that this can't be true. She agreed to meet with me the next day at a Burger King halfway between Providence, Rhode Island, where she worked, and Boston.
Everything she told me that morning was backed up by extensive documentation and confirmed in interviews with other sources. During the next several months, I wrote a series of front-page articles for the Globe about research and billing transgressions by Brown's chief of psychiatry.
More than a decade later, Algonquin published my nonfiction book, "Side Effects: A Prosecutor, a Whistleblower, and a Bestselling Antidepressant on Trial," which tells the story of two women (Howard being one of them) who exposed the deception behind the making of the blockbuster drug, Paxil. My book lays bare the longstanding complicity between prominent academic psychiatrists and the pharmaceutical industry and reveals disturbing flaws in the way drugs are tested and marketed.
Blogs and Investigative Reporting
"Side Effects" could not have been written without the investigative reporting I did for The Boston Globe, which brings me to a major point of this essay: The best muckraking of recent decades has been done by reporters who worked for metropolitan dailies with the resources to support their reconnaissance. Other news outlets, including public radio and broadcast and cable television, rarely do their own skunk work and, with a few exceptions, piggyback instead on stories that newspapers unearth.
Now, however, such investigative verve has largely disappeared from newsrooms around the country because financially strapped newspapers no longer have the capacity to fund this kind of intense, beat-driven work—outside the political arena, at least.1 At regional newspapers like the Globe, health and science reporters are, for the most part, too busy filing dailies, posting online updates, and trying to avoid layoffs to take the time needed to meet with kooky-sounding anonymous sources at Burger King.
"Defining an Online Mission: Local Investigative Reporting"
- Andrew Donohue and Scott Lewis
Some optimistic media observers say the crucial watchdog role of newspapers is being subsumed by blogs, and there are certainly a few blogs that have made a splash in the investigative arena. I'm thinking here of Talking Points Memo, Pharmalot, and Smoking Gun as well as some local news blogs like voiceofsandiego.org and the New Haven Independent.
I also write a blog,
, where I report and comment on health care issues. As a long-time journalist, doing this keeps me abreast of important developments in health care, and I get to think aloud about the ramifications of these developments. And my blog has led to invitations for me to write opinion pieces for bigger news outlets. On a number of occasions, my blog—and other independent ones such as Health Care Renewal and Furious Seasons—have inspired others to investigate and write about scientific malfeasance. Indeed, I find independent-minded blogs often work best in tandem with the mainstream media, which take their findings and amplify them for a larger audience.
There are, however, a variety of constraints on bloggers' ability to do investigative reporting. As a freelance journalist who pays my bills by teaching journalism at Mount Holyoke College, I have neither the time nor the resources to do the kind of digging I was encouraged to do at the Globe. In writing my book, for example, I filed several FOIA requests with the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to retrieve public information about the way that agency worked with the pharmaceutical industry in vetting new drugs. The FDA—under the secrecy-obsessed Bush administration—responded by demanding that I pay hundreds of dollars in upfront copying fees before they would fulfill my requests, money I didn't have. Fortunately, I obtained most of the information I needed from other sources who had requested similar documents over the years and had deeper pockets than I.
"Investigating the Pharmaceutical Industry on a Blog"
- Ed Silverman
Bottom line is that it takes time and money to do the kind of muckraking that newspapers have always excelled at, and I'm not sure the blogosphere can reliably reproduce this all-important function. In one particularly worrisome sign, the best and most reliable blog about the pharmaceutical industry—Pharmalot, a blog that regularly broke investigative news—went out of business on January 5th because its indefatigable pharmaceutical industry reporter, Ed Silverman, took a buyout from the financially strapped Star-Ledger in Newark, New Jersey. Had the Star-Ledger truly valued the blog's investigative mission, it could have hired another reporter to continue what had become an internationally respected brand. Instead, this blog's dissolution leaves a big gap in the independent coverage of the pharmaceutical industry, one that other news-oriented blogs, such as the health blog of The Wall Street Journal, do little to fill. Pharmalot's demise augers ill for the future of investigative-minded blogs.
Watchdogs on Capitol Hill
It is interesting to note that in one corner of the health care arena, a small team of government investigators has taken up some of the watchdog slack. During the past year, aides for Senator Charles Grassley, a ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, have uncovered extensive financial ties between prominent doctors and the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. Their findings—that some doctors repeatedly failed to disclose the millions of dollars they were being paid to promote industry products—have appeared in newspaper stories and in blogs around the country. As a direct result of these probes, the National Institutes of Health has finally begun enforcing its own conflict of interest policy, and a number of universities, including Harvard Medical School, have said that they will stiffen or at least review their conflicts of interest policies for faculty researchers.
Such government investigations, however, are inevitably short-lived. Grassley's team is conducting these probes for the express purpose of bringing attention to the problem with the hope of crafting—and passing—legislation that would require the public disclosure of such conflicts. As has been proven throughout our history, our democracy cannot depend solely upon government to root out malfeasance, especially since wrongdoing sometimes involves government officials. This job, like it or not, has fallen to the press and, until America's newspapers invent a new business model to replace the dwindling revenue from print advertising and cover the cost of aggressive reporting, this critical mission remains in peril.

Students and faculty gathered Monday at Point University in West Point to hear stories from Tim Sutton in honor of Black History Month.
Sutton, a 2013 Point University graduate, was baptized by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. shortly before King was assassinated in 1967. Sutton also was a member of Ebenzer Baptist Church, where he formed a close relationship with King's mother, Alberta Williams King.
Point University President Dean Collins gave a brief introduction of Sutton, recalling the first time he met Sutton in 2008.
"A professor called me and said 'You're not going to believe this, but we have a student that was baptized by Dr. King. Would you like to hear his story?'" Collins said. "I called Tim and asked him if he would tell me his story. He did, but he said he would do one better. He said 'I'll come listen to you preach and lend you moral support.' He did that and I have been so proud of him in his journey now in seminary."
Sutton began by telling of his experience at Point University and how he wanted to go back to school to "make a difference."
"Before I could make that difference, I wanted to get a clear definition of what we are doing in church," he said. "I thank God for Point University. It showed me what I was called to do and what the church was all about."
Many within the Point University system were fascinated by the fact that he was baptised by King, but to him it was just "something that happened."
"I was 12 years old when I was baptized," Sutton said. "I wasn't much into the media and what was happening, so for me to be baptized by him, I never knew how significant that would be."
Sutton said that Martin Luther King Jr. was very much a presence in his life, but one person that made a bigger impact was King's mother.
"If you ever met Dr. King's mother, Alberta Williams King, you would know why he was the man that he was," Sutton said. "I love telling the story of Mrs. King. The reason I think she was so significant was that she inspired me. She would invite me to do the youth day program."
At first, Sutton was intimidated by doing the daunting task of presenting the readings in front of such a big congregation, but he just couldn't say no the Alberta King's smile
"The smile sealed the deal," Sutton said. "After the youth day programs, she would come up to me and tell me how great I did."
Sutton then reflected on his experience with Martin Luther King Jr. and how he never forsook his duty as a minister, despite his involvement with the social issues going on at that time.
"My being baptized is a testament to that," Sutton said. "Dr. King never forsaked the ministry for the gospel. If you listened to his speeches, he would tell people and remind them that 'I am first a baptist minister, called by God to do his duties.' With Dr. King, I saw a commitment to his calling."
Sutton hopes to one day become a chaplain that works within the federal prison system, preaching the gospel to inmates. He believes that that is his calling to life. He encouraged all who attended Monday's lecture to follow their calling to the kingdom as well.
"Whether it seems big or small, if it's for the kingdom of God, there's nothing small about it," he said.

How to Empower the Women in Your Church
Start by addressing stereotypes
I am currently a student pursing a PhD in educational studies. I have a great passion for women in our churches, and I hope my research will one day serve them, so I love to share what I'm learning from time to time. Especially when I think it can help church leaders.
In recent months I have studied a phenomenon called stereotype threat. This term refers to the pressure individuals feel in the classroom or workplace due to perceived stereotypes about themselves. For instance, women are sometimes stereotyped as being less capable at math, which can influence the way young girls perform in their math classes. If they believe they are worse at math, they are likely to perform worse regardless of natural ability.
Numerous studies have shown that the simple presence of a stereotype can inhibit academic performance, but it creates an additional obstacle. If a student or employee anticipates being stereotyped, some will actively try to undermine the stereotype. For example, a businesswoman may fear being perceived as overly emotional by her male colleagues, so she intentionally minimizes her emotions and conducts herself stoically. Unfortunately, the cognitive energy she puts into combating the stereotype also inhibits her performance. Likewise, students who find themselves resisting a stereotype in a classroom setting are less able to learn and engage the subject matter.
It is remarkable and troubling that a stereotype can be so powerful. Fortunately, researchers have also looked into the best methods for breaking the power of stereotype threat, and they have discovered two primary options:
1. An authority figure publicly debunks the stereotype. In a study at Stanford University, a group of men and women were administered a math test and their performances were recorded (Spencer and Steele, 1999). Then the same math test was administered to a different group of men and women, but with one small change. This time, before the students began, the test administrator told the group that there was no previous gender discrepancy in performance on this test. This simple statement debunking the stereotype about women and math made all the difference. The women in the second group tested better.
2. In-group role models. It is also helpful for victims of stereotype threat to see individuals from their own group (i.e. women or minorities) functioning competently outside the stereotype (McIntyre, Paulson, Taylor, Morin and Lord, 2011). Having a talented female math teacher, for instance, can help dispel the myth that women are not good at math.
This research is fascinating, and it has led me to wonder about its application to women in the church. Many stereotypes about women are both sociological and psychological, so the cycle can be tough to break. If women believe they are not capable of thinking theologically, or leading and teaching in the church effectively, that stereotype perpetuates an unfortunate cycle in which women are hesitant to even try.
That said, there are two applications that churches can take from the above research. The first applies to men. In the same way that authority figures have the power to break stereotypes with a simple word, men in the church have that power as well. That is not to say that women should not also speak out against unbiblical stereotypes, but research seems to indicate that the power group—the group that is stereotyped as being naturally gifted or authoritative in a certain area—has particular influence in this regard. If men were to tell their wives, daughters, mothers, and sisters that women can think theologically, that women should be important voices in the church, and that the church needs the contributions of these women, that message would have a tremendous, positive impact.
I should add that this influence is evident in my own life. I have a strong and brilliant dad who has always been unconditionally supportive. Although both my parents believe in me (sometimes more than they should!) my dad would seriously fight anyone who tried to stand in my way. I am no doubt the woman I am today because my dad wanted a strong daughter.
In short, men, we need you! Challenge your wives and raise strong daughters!
The second application from the above research concerns us ladies. If we want to see younger generations of women pushing themselves and using their gifts for the Kingdom of God, then we need to be doing that ourselves. Change can be slow and discouraging at times, but the more women who are out there studying, growing, and leading, the more we can expect younger women to follow our example. Change begins with us.
Sharon Hodde Miller is a blogger, freelance writer, and PhD candidate who lives in the Chicago area. You can find her at her blog, She Worships.
I agree Sharon. I am 60 now, and over my life have determined to be what God called me to be and to allow other women and men to draw from that in order to help them rise to their full God-given potential.
The result in the leader raising/church planting organisation that my husband and I run, is a whole stable of men and women who are equipped and able to lead without having to struggle against the prevailing culture. Ours is a culture of non-gender specific leadership.
The ironic thing is that it's so acceptable to have women or men leading in our congregations that our young folk going to other churches because of moving or university, are taken aback that it's not that way everywhere. Women in our organisation, not having to push for the right to lead, often take for granted that right...
God has called us to faithfulness in obeying Him, whatever He's calling us to... leadership is just one of those aspects, but it's vital.
This goes way beyond stereotypes. Many evangelical churches and denominations actually have policies that forbid women in many leadership positions. This not only precludes women from being pastors, but also being elders or deacons. I truly believe that spiritual gifts do not depend on gender. I am very thankful that God led me to a church where I could serve him in many roles, not just in the kitchen or nursery.

Go Bobcats!
December 3, 2005 4:48 PM
The alma mater of yours truly and this guy is playing for a spot in the Division I-AA football semifinals today -- on national TV. Good ol' SWT (sorry, I'll never get used to it being called Texas State) hasn't had publicity like this in a long time.
Enjoy it man. I'm a University of Delaware Fightin' Blue Hen, Class of '81. We've won six national titles, four in Div. II and two in I-AA, and we kinda stunk this year but we'll be back strong. I'm living vicariously through the Bobcats this year. Carla's a Sam Houston grad, and last year we actually almost had a Sam-Hens I-AA final, which would have really been a lotta fun. The Bobcats looked good today, and it's fun to get on national TV once in a while, and hey, they've got a real shot at beating UNI next week. So good luck!
About the name....when I lived in Dallas in the late '80s I sometimes listened to KNTU-FM, the student radio station at North Texas State U. When the University changed its name to the University of North Texas, I was always thankful they didn't change the call letters....
Yeah!! They beat Cal Poly and advance to the semifinals!!! They almost took A&M but the penalties killed them. The next game is in San Marcos at 7pm on Friday! Now you know where I got the nick from.
First time I ever set foot in Texas was for the 1979 Div. II National Championship game between Delaware and Eastern Illinois. We were all disgusted that the game was going to be played in a HS stadium (in Longview) -- 'til we got there and immediately realized it was the biggest friggin' stadium either school had ever played in. :) (A slight exaggeration....Delaware used to play Temple at the Vet.) Played the game in a horrific ice storm....welcome to Texas....and my Blue Hens lost the game 10-9 on a missed EP and a wide-right 40-yard FG attempt on the last play of the game. Worst weather imaginable....sleet, gale-force winds, froze my grossly-unprepared Yankee ass off. After that experience it was a wonder I ever came back, much less moved here.

Usually the diagnosis of deformational plagiocephaly is made by physical examination. Sometimes x-rays or a CT scan of the cranium are needed to confirm the diagnosis. Radiographs are requested if there is a question regarding another condition that causes flattening and misshaping of the cranium.
When diagnosing deformational plagiocephaly, we are determining if there is a premature closure of a cranial suture (craniosynostosis), involving the forehead and rarely, the back of the head. This abnormal suture fusion is called synostotic plagiocephaly. Proper diagnosis is critical because the synostotic plagiocephaly or craniosynostosis causes a permanent and often progressive abnormally shaped cranium. We will let you know if we have any concerns about this problem. An operation is required to release the bones in craniosynostosis. In contrast, deformational plagiocephaly is usually self-correcting and an operation is not needed.
To contact the Pediatric Cleft and Craniofacial Center or a team member, please call (585) 273-FACE.

#9 Texas A&M vs Missouri 2012 game runs out with 11:00 left in the 4th but final score is 59-29.
An initiation game, viewed from 1 year out.
After three long days, the NFL Draft finally concluded yesterday afternoon, setting into motion a flurry of movement and signing among undrafted free agents. Here's where all of the former Missouri...
Richardson becomes the sixth Missouri player in five years to be picked in the first round of the draft.
How are the new conference rivalries coming along?
Boy, the narrative changed about 28 times in September, didn't it? (Which narrative? All of them.)
Missouri's 2012 season did have some good moment, you know. Not enough of them, mind you, but they did exist. What was your favorite?
And with that, it is officially 2013 in the Mizzou universe.
Gary Pinkel gets fired up, SPOOOOOOOON returns, and Mizzou Hoopsters tweet from the Bahamas.
Crossroads off-season.
Awful weekend, but hey ... at least EXPANSIONAPALOOZA™ doesn't make us nervous anymore.
Alright, fellas. Last chance.
How will MIzzou respond to last week's crushing disappointment?
Mizzou Hoops survives Stanford, Mizzou Football plans for Johnny Football, Gary Pinkel plans no staff changes, and Mizzou Wrestling is recruiting like crazy. And is still in the MAC. Tee hee.
Major recruit decommits? Check. Media turns on you? Check.
Questions, and prayers, to answer.
In times of trial, you either lean on optimism or pessimism. I lean on Jimmie Hunt and DGB.
Mizzou (at least temporarily) loses a four-star recruit, A&M thinks James Franklin will play, and Mizzou Hoops heads to the Bahamas.
James Franklin is getting better, Sheldon Richardson is back, Earnest Ross is patient, and damn nerds are ruining everything.
Mizzou fans have officially been more awful, ridiculous and bitterly stupid toward James Franklin than they were toward Blaine Gabbert. Congrats, everybody!
Change for change's sake almost never works. Whatever Gary Pinkel does (or doesn't do) to his staff or his team this offseason should be up to him and him alone. And there is not a single easy answer.
Syracuse found a matchup it liked and scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns with it in an upset win.
Win, and you're in. Win, and you're in. Win, and you're in. Win, and you're in.
The numbers have no idea what to do with Missouri at this point. Will they be wrong again?
If KOMU's Ashley Zavala is to be believed, Mizzou running back and return man extraordinaire Marcus Murphy will also miss Saturday's game versus Syracuse.

With a young team poised to rebuild, there needs to be light at the end of the tunnel.
Joe Blanton has already proven that he can lead the A's staff while posting ERA's under 4.00 in two of the last 4 years.
Who else can step up though? Greener on the Other Side suggests Dana Eveland and Gio Gonzalez.
They use Gio's superb minor league track record and Eveland's awesome spring to back their suggestion.
What do you all think of Gio and Dana? Check out the link to read more.


text: After hearing Papa Roach's single "Last Resort" for the first time, I knew I had to buy the album. Upon listening to it the first time, a few of the songs sounded similar, but most seemed to stand out very well. The strength and aggression put out on this album is incredible, and I can't wait to get my hands on their older stuff. Coby has a great voice and it blends in very well with the powerful guitar riffs going on. I personally like the songs where he sings more than screams, although the screaming is very appropriate for the songs it's in. My fave song on this album definitely has to be "Binge", because the melody is incredible. Other faves are the secret track (which to my ears sounds similar to some Incubus tunes), "Broken Home", "Revenge", and "Between Angels and Insects". The reason I gave 4 stars was because a couple of the songs aren't as strong as the others and don't stick out in your mind. But for the most part, it's a monster major label debut, and I definitely hope to see more stuff from these guys in the future.

Why Singapore? Why Business Trust?
|21 Jul 2012, 12:10 PM Watch Video
Burdened by substantial debt reliance communications has for some time now wanted to unlock value in its undersea cable business flag telecom. For a variety of reasons, Flag could not make a vanilla global equity listing. Now its decided to go public in Singapore via a trust structure. Why Singapore? Why Trust? Payaswini Upadhyay goes in search of some answers.
In 2007, Ascendas India Trust went public as Singapore's first listed business trust holding Indian IT park assets
In 2008, Indiabulls Properties Investment Trust listed on the Singapore stock exchange with commercial property in Mumbai as the underlying asset
Just 2 months ago, Fortis group owned Religare Healthcare Trust received an eligibility to list approval from the Singapore stock exchange
And this month, Reliance Communications owned Global Telecommunications Infrastructure Trust filed an initial prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore to list its undersea cable business.
- all sign of the growing popularity of this route. Before we get to the why, heres the how. In a typical business trust structure, the Indian company creates or uses an overseas subsidiary as a sponsor. The sponsor incorporates a Singapore based company as trustee manager. The trustee manager owns and manages the assets, the economic interest of which is sold via units of the trust, also established in Singapore. The units are listed on the Singapore stock exchange.
Evelyn Wee
Partner, Rajah & Tann
It is essentially a hybrid structure that has the elements both of a trust and a company. Like a company, a business trust is established to run a business. However, it is not a separate legal entity. It is actually constituted by a trust deed. Under the trust deed, the trustee manager, which is the single responsible entity for the business trust, has the legal ownership of the assets of the trust and also manages the assets of the trust for beneficiaries of the trust.

|Song lyrics
One nigga found dead in the bayou
That's the beginning of this story that I'm telling you
I was in the 9-tre smokin' a spliff on the strip
Seen a little cutie with some bootie..stop to shoot the shit
She was on my dick cause in the hood, I had a little rank
She was the kind of ho tryin' to take a nigga for his bank
But what she did not know, a nigga had a plan for that
Take her out to dinner then knock that ass up in my cadillac
All of a sudden, my beeper started buzzin' on the side of me
The code read 33..I knew it was MJG
Step to the mobile phone..G was talkin' crazy
This ho heard some niggas say them laws are out to get me
That night, I was dumpin that bitch in the ditch
Did not know that I was doin it in the presence of a snitch
Got dope from the scenery..thinkin I was scot-free
And now, I'm duckin and dodgin tryin to keep it low-key
Spliffed-out, ridin in my hooptie on cloud 9
Doin about 50 when a nigga pass 1-Time
Now they got a nigga faced-down on the sidewalk
Talkin all that punk ass rookie pig cop talk
What was in my pocket..Grabbin all my money and my beeper
Ramblin through my car, the pigs found my 9mm
Now, I'm in the county callin G to come and get me
Wandering who is the snitch callin these laws tryin to sell me out
Oh no! My mind is getting paranoid
A nigga can't even trust his own homeboys
As a result, I'm always alone
except for some of the hoes I bone
Most of the time, I watch the news while I get my smoke on
Thousands after thousands on a lawyer who ain't doin shit
Locked up in this house a nigga 'bout to have a fuckin fit
Last night, I seen my face on the news..G
Some nigga who worked for me..slipped and lost an uzi
Now, I'm on the run..livin like a fugitive
I thought to myself on the run ain't no way to live
I thought I'd party hard and smoke and drank this century
Now, I'm slowly dyin in this penetentery...

Google's Browser Lie Dissected
I find it somewhat provocative when Google thinks I'm stupid:
The mobile web version of Google Maps is optimized for WebKit browsers such as Chrome and Safari. However, since Internet Explorer is not a WebKit browser, Windows Phone devices are not able to access Google Maps for the mobile web.
Thankfully, Tom Verhoeff has fired up some tools and written an excellent post (with videos) to explain and demonstrate how what Google PR is telling the 'silly' public is a blatant lie.
See for yourself at his site:
What Google is doing here is clearly a no-go on the back open standards, free speech and how the web is supposed to be.
Here's how Google could even improve on that misconduct: create more non-standard features for Chrome and use them on Google sites, so that at a certain point they really cannot be viewed any more with something else than Chrome and call it an 'optimization' again.

The Clark County coroner has identified three young children who perished in a mobile home fire Friday, June 15.
The children are Skylar Lafia, 2; David Gouailhardou, 2; Aryana Lafia, 1.
The children died when they became trapped in a mobile home on fire in northeast Las Vegas. The fire was reported at 10:20 a.m. Friday at the Vans Trailer Oasis Mobile Home Park in the 3600 block of Las Vegas Boulevard North.
According to fire officials, the blaze started on one mobile home then spread to an adjacent unit.
The children were inside the first unit on fire, with people, possibly neighbors, attempting to rescue them multiple times, officials said.
All the attempts to rescue them failed and the children died at the scene, CCFD confirmed.
Two people believed to be the children's parents were able to escape and were transported to University Medical Center with minor injuries.
The second mobile home on fire was vacant at the time. Both homes were destroyed in the two-alarm blaze.
Police said the parents are not currently facing any charges.

so, if you don't want to venture outside in this glorious Summer weather ... coming soon to a theater:
The Trip wherein Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon tour Northern England
Submarine-- Richard Ayoade's film about a 15-year-old who isn't happy to see his mother dating
Green Lantern. So, where does Green rank-- just above The Submariner?
The swell season-- a docu follow-on to Once, with Hansard and Irglova. Hmm.
If you can't even get off the couch, Mike Hale at the NY Times tells us [their opinion] about these fine upcoming shows:
FALLING SKIES (TNT, June 19) Steven Spielberg's name is on this new science-fiction series, starring Noah Wyle, about the survivors of an alien invasion. Of course Steven Spielberg's name has also been on "Pinky and the Brain" and "SeaQuest DSV."
TORCHWOOD (Starz, July 8) For its 10-episode fourth season, this "Doctor Who" spinoff moves to Starz from BBC America. It also moves the scene of its action from Wales to America, in a story arc that begins with the end of death: people stop dying, although they don't stop aging, or being gruesomely disfigured in traffic accidents and fires. The alien-fighting Torchwood Institute has been disbanded after the tragic events of Season 3, but when duty calls.... Mekhi Phifer, Bill Pullman and Lauren Ambrose join the cast, alongside the holdovers John Barrowman, Eve Myles and Kai Owen.
ALPHAS (Syfy, July 11) Yet another prime-time superhero show, this time about a five-person team under the supervision of a benevolent scientist (David Strathairn).
ZEN (PBS, July 17) Rufus Sewell, last seen building cathedrals in the medieval mini-series "Pillars of the Earth," plays a detective named Aurelio Zen in three BBC mysteries based on novels by Michael Dibdin and shot in Rome. It's the only new addition to the "Masterpiece Mystery" lineup on PBS this season.
THE HOUR (BBC America, Aug. 17) This six-part thriller starring Dominic West ("The Wire") and Romola Garai is set against the glamorous backdrop of the BBC newsroom in the 1950s.

Your Cowboys had a good week on the draft front. Although we all hate to see Dallas lose, the loss to Arizona might have helped the team in the long run. They also got a look at their developmental QB in Stephen McGee, who looked promising. Again, the Defense looked terrible and (to me, at least) solidified the idea that we have to go Defense with our first pick in the draft.
Carolina has locked up the first pick in the draft and is officially on the clock. The only decision to be made here is by Stanford Quarterback Andrew Luck. He either declares for the draft and can start learning the Carolina playbook, or he can choose to go back to school and take his chances again next year. How important is a Heisman Trophy to him? And what have we learned from Jake Locker?
Where We'll Draft – If the season ended today, Dallas would draft 7th. However two teams below us (Arizona and San Francisco) play each other and one will fall below us in draft order assuming we get beat by Philly. That would put us at 6th. There are scenarios in which we get in the top 5 and scenarios in which we draft outside the top 10. And with Philly having nothing to play for this weekend and sitting several gimpy starters, I think there is a good chance Dallas does pull off the upset.
Here are the records of the teams vying for a top 10 pick:
|Remaining schedule
|Predicted Record
|2 - 13
|@ Atl
|4 - 11
|vs SD
|4 - 11
|@ Balt
|4 - 11
|5 - 10
|San Francisco
|5 - 10
|vs Ariz
|5 - 10
|@ Phil
|5 - 10
|vs Jax
|5 - 10
|vs Minn
|5 - 10
|vs Pitt
|6 - 9
|vs StL
|6 - 9
|@ Indy
|6 - 9
|vs NYG
|6 - 9
|@ Det
Games this week that could assist in Dallas's draft position:
* Dallas has a much higher Strength of Schedule than Denver, so even a Denver win against San Diego and Dallas loss wouldn't put Dallas ahead of Denver.
Cincy @ Baltimore – Need a Cincy win.
Buffalo @ NY Jets – Need a Buffalo win.
Detroit vs Minny – Need a Detroit win. This is a rather big one because Detroit's "need" positions are very similar to Dallas's. So we need them to draft after us.
Arizona @ San Francisco – If Dallas loses to Philly, the winner of this game drafts after us and loser ahead of us. Because I'm rooting for a CB to be drafted, I'm rooting for San Francisco to win this game. They are more likely to draft a CB than Arizona.
Houston vs Jax – Need Houston win.
Cleveland vs Pitt – Need a Cleveland win.
Seattle vs StL – Need a Seattle win.
Tenn @ Indy – Need a Tenn win.
Wash vs NYG – Need a Wash win.
Dallas @ Philly – Hopefully McGee plays (and plays well) but we come up just short.
Let's assume we end up with the 6th pick, which is the most likely scenario. We can now safely assume one or more of these elite prospects will be available for us to draft. I'm in favor of not trading down. With Top 5 talent available, I think we keep the pick.
Here's my analysis on the elite prospects:
QB (3) – Andrew Luck, Stanford; Ryan Mallett, Arkansas; Cam Newton, Auburn. Some might disagree, but Jake Locker doesn't seem elite to me. For those that hate on Newton, swap out Locker.
HB – None.
WR (2) – AJ Green, Georgia; Julio Jones, Alabama
OL – None.
DL (3) – Da'Quan Bowers, Clemson; Nick Fairley, Auburn; Marcell Dareus, Alabama;
LB (1) – Robert Quinn (DE/OLB), North Carolina;
DB (2) – Patrick Peterson, LSU; Prince Amukamara, Nebraska;
Just outside: WR Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma State; DE Adrian Clayborn, Iowa; OLB Akeen Ayers, UCLA; RB Mark Ingram, Alabama; DE/OLB Ryan Kerrigan, Purdue; DT Stephen Paea, Oregon State, OLB Von Miller, Tx A&M; CB Janoris Jenkins, Florida; and maybe DE Cameron Jordan, Cal.
Here are some of the "expert" drafts I found posted recently:
|Date updated
|Draft Pos
|Walter Football
|CB Prince Amukamara, Neb
|Walter Football
|S Kenny Tate, Maryland
|Walter Football
|OT Chris Hairston, Clemson
|CB Janoris Jenkins, Florida
|DE Greg Romeus, PittN
|G Justin Boren, Ohio St
|DE Cameron Jordan, California
|Sports Fantasy Guide
|DE Adrian Clayborn, Iowa
|Draft King
|CB Prince Amukamara, Neb
|Footballs Future
|DE Marcell Dareus, Alabama
The mock draft I pay most attention to is from WalterFootball. Their first round pick of Amukamara didn't change from last week. However, in the second round Rahim Moore (FS, UCLA) is taken before we pick. I think that's likely. I also don't think we make secondary our first two selections. Has to be an Offensive Lineman here. The O Line prospects still available in the WalterFootball draft are as follows:
Benjamin Ijalana, OT/OG, Villannova – Pick 40
DeMarcus Love, OT, Arkansas – Pick 42
Rodney Hudson, OG, Florida State – Pick 46
Nate Solder, OT, Colorado – Pick 48
Tyron Smith, OT, USC – Pick 52
Matt Reynolds, OT, BYU – Pick 54
Joseph Barksdale, OT, LSU – Pick 59
Marcus Gannon, OG, TCU – Pick 61
I don't know about you, but I love this list. Even if you don't think all of them will be there (many Mocks have Smith, Solder, and Love as first rounders) there are still other names on this list that will be. I would be happy to have Ijalana or Gannon in the second round. The point I'm trying to make is don't panic. There will be good O Linemen available in the second round. Don't try and force one in the first. And is a Gabe Carimi (OT, Wisconsin) or Anthony Costanzo (OT, Boston College) really that much better than some of the guys on this list above? I say no.
Sticking with the WalterFootball mock, if we took a Lineman in the 2nd round we could turn our attention back to the Defense in the third round. Two guys I really like that are available are Pitt DE Greg Romeus and Oregon ILB Casey Matthews. Casey might get overdrafted a bit because he's Clay's brother and he will be in the BCS National Championship game.
So there you have it. Our last update before we know our actual draft position. Next week we will have more definitive information to work with. (But, what fun is that?) In coming weeks we can look at trade-up scenarios, trade-down scenarios, and I will start posting scouting reports on some of these players I'm talking about. Looking forward to reading your comments.
I will leave you with my own Mock Draft for the first half of the first round:
1) Panthers – QB Andrew Luck, Stanford
2) Broncos – CB Patrick Peterson, LSU
3) Bengals – AJ Green, Georgia
4) Bills – DT Nick Fairley, Auburn
5) Cardinals - DE DaQuan Bowers, Clemson
6) 49ers - QB Ryan Mallett, Arkansas
7) Cowboys – CB Prince Amukamara, Nebraska
8) Texans – DE Marcell Dareus, Alabama
9) Lions – DE Robert Quinn, North Carolina
10) Browns - WR Julio Jones, Alabama
11) Seahawks – QB Cam Newton, Auburn
12) Titans – DT Stephen Pea, Oregon State
13) Redskins - WR Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma St
14) Vikings – QB Jake Locker, Washington
15) Patriots (from Raiders) – CB Janoris Jenkins, Florida
16) Dolphins - RB Mark Ingram, Alabama

And luckily, you neednt haul ass around town since Clothingline hosts its markdown fests (usually 50 to 80 percent off) in one location, unloading goods directly from voguish labels including Helmut Lang and Theory. Pros: Clothingline is instantly gratifying since the merchandise is usually from the current season. Cons: The warehouse can get pretty mobbed during lunch hours and after 5pm, so we recommend hitting it during off hours to avoid the throngs.

Rome 18: Philippi
Duration :
Summary: Brutus and Cassius see their military advantage vanish in the wake of Octavian's new alliance with Mark Antony. In Rome, Vorenus receives orders to execute scores of Rome's elite, dividing the task among the Collegium's gang captains. Cicero attempts to warn Brutus of his army's danger, but is foiled by the arrival of Pullo at his villa. Mark Antony adds a few names to the list of condemned, as does Atia; Octavia and Vorena the Elder find themselves enchanted by unlikely suitors; Eirene shares some domestic news with Pullo; Levi and Timon precipitate a synagogue melee; and Atia gets Octavia to reveal a secret as Octavian heads out of Rome. On the plains of Philippi, two armies clash, with the future of Rome at stake. (TVMA) (AC,AL,GV,N)

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
GOOD, a global "community of people who give a damn," is giving L.A.'s idealists a chance to change the face of our city by the year 2050.
Along with The Goldhirsh Foundation, GOOD (whose co-founder and CEO happens to be Ben Goldhirsh), has launched the My LA2050 project, a "community-owned mechanism" designed to reimagine L.A.'s future. With the help of experts, academics, practitioners, and supporters, The Goldhirsh Foundation will fund ten Angeleno-submitted project proposals with one million in grants.
The My LA2050 team began by compiling research and data on the health of our region alongside eight other "indicators" (education, income and employment, housing, public safety, health, environmental quality, arts and cultural vitality, and social connectedness). 279 proposals were submitted across eight categories and include ideas from well-known organizations (Homeboy Industries, CicLAvia) and relative unknowns (Skoolbo LTD, Eagle Rock Yacht Club).
Voting began April 2nd and ends tomorrow, April 17th, at 12 p.m. The Goldhirsh Foundation will then choose one of the top ten voted projects from each indicator to receive a $100,000 grant. The remaining $200,000 will be split between two projects from indicators of The Goldhirsh Foundation's choice.
Visit the My LA2050 website to check out all of the proposals and to submit your vote.

2. All these must be built with due reference to durability, convenience, and beauty. Durability will be assured when foundations are carried down to the solid ground and materials wisely and liberally selected; convenience, when the arrangement of the apartments is faultless and presents no hindrance to use, and when each class of
building is assigned to its suitable and appropriate exposure; and beauty, when the appearance of the work is pleasing and in good taste, and when its members are in due proportion according to correct principles of symmetry.

Today's speaker mentioned (ever so briefly) the writings of Vitruvius. His book, De architectura, serves as a foundation of design theory readings. Translated as Ten Books on Architecture, the book is available online at Project Gutenburg and well worth the time to read. One of the more famous sections explains three fundamental qualities of architecture: durabilty, utility, and beauty.

Battling Naheem puts up a brave fight
5:53pm Tuesday 21st May 2013 in Grass Roots news
It has been a busy few weeks for fighters from Blackburn with Darwen Police ABC.
The club's North West regional champion Naheem Chaudhry, 17, competed in the under 57 Kg ABAE Junior Championship quarter finals against Luke McCormack – a World Championship silver medal winner and current British number one.
It was a daunting task for Naheem against the classy fighter from Birtley Boxing Academy, Tyne Tees & Wear.
But he worked hard for the contest, training two to three times a day every day.
As expected, it was a cagey start from Naheem but he grew in confidence at the end of an even first round.
The fighters were evenly matched in the second round, both scoring points with the third following in a similar fashion.
Crucially, McCormack had the better of the fourth and final round and the judges gave him the unanimous decision..
"I am very happy with Naheem's performance," said coach Yaqoob Hussain. "It showed he is not far from being an England boxer."
The club's new female member, Shelby Fielding, 18, made her debut in a tournament organised by Splash Fit ABC, Derby where she beat Gabriel Wincik Jacque after three impressive rounds.
Shelby and Bria Fielding recently attended a North of England Female squad at Warrington with GB Female Coach Amanda Groake In a tournament organised by Tuebrook ABC, Liverpool, Asad Barlas , 17 got back in his winning ways after beating Aarron McCallam from Bootle ABC on points but Moin Khan, 15, was stopped in the third round by Luis Healey from Tuebrook ABC.

Find and book great restaurantsFind a Restaurant
Make the most of London's beautiful skyline with the top restaurants offering picturesque views. From the go-to spots for vistas of the river to the places that capture the capital's iconic landmarks from their best side, Square Meal maps out the city as you've never seen it before.
This restaurant terrace, seven floors above bustling Kensington High Street, looks out over one of the city's most stunning rooftop gardens, with London as its backdrop.
Boasting great views of Tower Bridge and The Gherkin, this restaurant provides each diner with a pair of binoculars. In warmer months, order small bites and take them alfresco on the pretty terrace.
Up in the air on this luxurious terrace, a sense of space prevails. You're bang in the middle of the City, so landmarks such as the Royal Exchange and the Bank of England are sure to catch your eye. Whatever the weather, thanks to Coq d'Argent's efficient heaters, outdoor dining is possible.
At the top of the Heron Tower, this high-flying City perch offers stunning views of the whole of London through its floor-to-ceiling windows. What's more, the restaurant is open 24/7, making it the go-to destination for memorable sunsets and sunrises.
This all-in-one sightseeing experience on the 28th floor of the London Hilton offers stunning 360-degree views of the city – plus a swanky interior. Request a window seat and soak up the breathtaking views.
Diners at this elegant 10th-floor Chinese restaurant are spoilt rotten with views over the vibrant greenery of Hyde Park.
The only London building you can't see from this fabulously located restaurant is the Oxo Tower itself. Riverside tables can't be booked, so arrive early to nab the best seats – there's always the downstairs brasserie and bar if you're pipped to the post.
A vertical neighbour to Duck & Waffle, this Brazilian-Japanese stunner gives vertiginous and panoramic views of the capital – plus, it gets you up close to the Gherkin, at an angle you've never seen before.
Watch the sun set over St Paul's and The Gherkin while sipping a long drink at the bar, or retire to the dining room to bask in the other highlights the skyline has to offer.

INVITATION TO THE EUROPEAN CONGRESS, Athens 23-25/11/2012
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
As part of its broader activities, aimed at fostering and sharing knowledge, The Greek Institute of Play Therapy and Dramatherapy Athyrma, in collaboration with the Panhellenic Association of Dramatherapists and Playtherapists is organizing a conference entitled 'Early attachment and personality development. Bridging Psychotherapy and Neuroscience' from 23-25 November 2012 at the Panteion University.
The aim of this conference is to encourage an inter-disciplinary association that will promote an on-going sharing of knowledge and experience between psychotherapists, psychiatrists, neurologists and neuro-physicists in order to extend areas of information and research on a theme that plays a key role in cognitive, emotional, social and intellectual development.
In recent years a collective effort has been made to establish a 'secure means' by which to nurture creative potential and modes of expression and communication. Recent studies and research on the theme of attachment theory in the field of the neurosciences can provide invaluable insights for those working in the areas of psychotherapy and psychiatry. The conference aims to bring together the neurosciences and psychotherapies through their approach to the attachment theory, which we believe will be extremely valuable for those involved in the caring and mental health professions.
We are confident that this collaboration between the Neurosciences and the Psychotherapies will give rise to innovative ideas and opinions and reveal ways to utilize our inner strengths, especially at this time when accepted 'truths' are in question worldwide. We hope that by sharing our knowledge, time and energy we will be able to lay the foundations for a new beginning and a more optimistic approach to the future.
We look forward to your participation and your suggestions on how to make this conference a starting point for future collaborations of a similar nature.
Yours sincerely,
Katerina Couroucli-Robertson, Ph.D.
Vicky Zerva- Spanou, MA

text: FourPlansSmall Plans, Big Kitchens There may be a trend toward downsizing, but that doesn't mean the kitchen has to shrink too. These plans offer affordably modest square footages (none exceed 1,700 square feet) and roomy kitchens with islands, snack bars, and lots of counter space.Four-Cornered ClassicThis classic cottage, just 1,587 square feet, features a full-length porch topped by a gabled pediment and a standing seam metal roof. The compact footprint fits almost anywhere, and the straightforward rectangular plan is efficient to construct. The front porch shades the entry and windows. The kitchen is conveniently split around a center island for maximum use of space. Three generously sized bedrooms are lined up on the left side of this design. The master bedroom is situated at the rear and features a large walk-in closet and dual sinks. The middle bedroom has a walk-in closet, too. For more images, information, and the floor plan, click here.Thoughtful DetailsThe kitchen is at the center of the action in this lovely plan, with the generous island serving the great room. Tray ceilings crown the dining room and master bedroom. The bonus room makes a perfect playroom for kids, separating noise from the common living areas and master bedroom. The master bath is complete with a sizable shower, double vanity, and a garden tub.

Ok, now if I am like most people out there reading all these articles, then I am sick and tired of the Charizard/Venusaur/Blastoise debate. Obviously, they all have their respective uses. Blastoise works well for a raindance. Venusaur works well with Pokemon Center/Stall decks, as well as Making sure a gust of wind doesnt ruin your whole pokemon. And Charizard is good for those games between little kids on the corner where strategy doesnt matter, just strong pokemon.
Is any one of these uses more important then another? No. They are just different. There are so many different decks out there, saying Blastoise is the best because "He works well in raindance" just doesnt cut it. I would give much more respect to a deck that uses Charizard effectively (I have yet to see one) then to a boring Raindance that takes no thought in making the deck. Oh, and by the way, Double Colorless energy doesnt count as 2 fire for charizard. So dont think DCE will help a charizard deck in any way.
In my opinion, all 3 of these cards aren't that great. So why all the debate? Why isnt there more debates on the effectiveness of Ninetails/Gyarados/Kadabra? They are all good cards too!
Ok, I know people are going to see this and go "Oh, great, another person writing a Charizard/Venusaur/Blastoise review" and grudgingly read it to see what the latest nonsense argument in the great debate is... well, I just wanted to throw my point out there, and tell people to stop worrying about it. Does it really matter which card is best?
Of course not.

I was turned off after listening to a few songs. I don't why, I'm usually up for genre mashers but this seems maybe forced?

MT. VERNON — Coming off one of the largest and most significant event this year in the LSA Midwest Expo, officials of the Mt. Vernon Airport are now planning on dazzling the community with a Balloon Glow during the weekend of the Fall Fest.
Jennifer Witzel, who along with her husband Kevin, have one of the only hot air balloons in Jefferson County are leading the charge for that event which will cover two days.
Witzel told Airport Authority members Tuesday night there will be a minimum of 10 balloons here for the weekend, which will include a fly-over Mt. Vernon around 5 p.m. on Oct. 18, and the Balloon Glow at approximately 6:30 p.m. around the airport lake.
Balloons will take off from the airport at 7 a.m. Saturday, and "go whatever direction the wind takes us," she said, and the balloons will be available to see again at 5 p.m. that evening.
"We are expected to have a full moon on that night, and we have a professional announcer. We are really excited about this event. The community has wrapped their arms around us," Witzel said.
The Balloon Glow will also fall on the same weekend as the EAA Fly-In and Veterans Reunion.
Collins called last weekend's LSA Expo the best ever.
"It took five years of hard work but we finally had a breakout year," Collins said. "The change of positiveness all worked. Everything turned out right."
In action by the Authority, health insurance rates were locked in from Dec. 1 of this year through Jan. 1, 2015, through Health Alliance.
The Authority now pays $1,744 per month in premiums and the new rate of $1,908 per month is a 9.4 percent increase.
Authority members rationalized that with insurance rates going up annually and with the uneasiness of the Affordable Health Care Act taking effect early next year, now is the time to secure rates for the future.
