Perhaps you guys can help me out this week.. My fantasy team has to be solid this week to even think of winning but the match-ups are tough! I've fought back from an 0-3 start (Thanks to DeAngelo for finally producing) to go 3-4 but reaching .500 looks like a long-shot!
My roster is as follows: (starters in bold) QB: Kurt Warner; Matt Hasselbeck WR: Miles Austin; Mike Sims-Walker; Sidney Rice; Steve Smith (NYG); Mario Manningham RB: DeAngelo Williams; Ahmad Bradshaw; Shonn Green; Cedric Benson(Bye) TE: Antonio Gates; Benjamin Watson(Bye) K: John Carney DEF: Miami; Pittsburgh(Bye) I read James' prognosis stating that he thinks Arizona's passing attack betters Carolina's pass D, so I just hope this ends up being a shoot-out between Warner's arm and Williams' legs. I've benched both Giants' receivers due to their Philly match-up in favor of Austin/Seattle, Sims-Walker/Tennessee, and Rice/Green Bay. I've been extremely lucky with my receiving corps thus far as none of them were big name receivers, yet four of them rank in our top 15 @ WR (Sims-Walker ends up at #18). Williams @ Arizona really concerns me. I know he's either going to produce big numbers or next to nothing, and that's exactly what could cost me the game. I find it hard to bench him... if I knew Davidson wasn't as stupid as he has proven himself to be, I wouldn't have any fear rolling with Williams, but I can see them ditching the run early if there are any signs of it not working extremely well. Bradshaw also worries me against Philly as I see him getting few carries after last week but I don't think it's wise to start Green over him while he's still backing up Thomas Jones. That would also be along the lines of shooting myself in the foot being I'm stuck with the Miami D this week. Antonio Gates and Carney have both done well for me this season. I hope Miami from the first half of last week shows up for both halves of this week. It's a 10 team, standard league. All FA options seem to be exhausted. I think I've got a team capable of winning, it's just going to be crucial to make the right start & sit calls. Any advice?

I love this meditation. It is so simple and easy, and unlike a traditional meditation where you just focus on your breath, this one gives you something to do. And for me, if their is movement and rhythm involved, I am much more likely to do it at all, and much more likely to stay focused.
To begin, disregard the mountain of laundry behind me in the photo. In true Mama Yoga fashion, this is how I roll.
Lay on your stomach, with your chin on the floor. Keep your head straight, to keep your spine straight and in proper alignment. Lay your arms down by your side, with your palms facing up.
Then you mentally chant the words, Saa, Taa, Naa, Maa. As you chant each sound, close a finger and thumb together.
So, on Saa, you close your first finger and thumb. On, Taa, you close your ring finger and thumb and so forth.
The reason you are on your stomach for this meditation is because it stimulates and balances your "Moon Centers". Each woman has 11 Moon Centers and they are located in different parts of the body.
Your psyche resides in each Moon Center for approximately 2.5 days, and each Moon Center is associated with a different emotion or quality, so roughly when you have cycled through all the centers you have completed one menstrual cycle. Moon Centers are a fascinating topic, I promise to write more in depth about them soon.
Isn't Penelope adorable? You guys probably get so bored with me oohing and ahhing over my daughter, but I just can't help it, so bear with me!
This meditation is supposed to help you break old habits, assist you going through transitions and change and any accompanying emotional turmoil. I don't know about you, but that is my life all day, every day, it seems.
I have been doing this meditation before bed, every night, for the past two months. It has been a nice way from me to transition from laptop/work mode to shifting into relaxation/sleep mode.

Update 1.20 (1/20/09) >>> Added pictures; minor corrections
Update 1.10 (1/18/09) >>> Edited armor; added some color and made some text bigger;short way to lvl; PvP
Update 1.01 >>> Edited builds;card piercings;title;other small corrections
From my experience,
-attack added from Str doesn't help attack but I think attack awakenings do.
-int gives about 10 damage per 1
-elementing you knuckle REDUCES damage, for me from 4940 down to 4444 or so so about 500 damage
Common Build
Leveling tips
Common Build
Str 15
Sta 80-120
Dex 15
Int xxx
lvl 50Yuandain Set (Female only)
-this is an alternate AOE set for female only. It gives +80def and +100attack. This set will give much better defense than the level 60 green set but you will have lower HP.
lvl 60 Shurand/Shuran
-It gives Def+45, INT+8, Add HP+15% which is good for INT AOE
This is the first AOE set unless an Alext/Ales set is reduced.
lvl 75 Alext/Ales
-This set gives Def+43, DEX+7, Add HP+15%
This set is good till lvl 105, 95 with reductions
lvl 105 Billsit/Billporon
-HP+15%,Def+15%, Ranged Blk+15%, Melee Blk+15%
This is most but not all players end game set. Get this set as high as possible unless you have plans of getting the lvl 120 set.
lvl 120 Grim sets
-STR+10, DEX +10, Add Def+25%, Add HP+15%
This is THE end game set. It give 10% more def and overall more defense. It's up to you if you like the 105 set or 120 set better
These to me are desired awakenings
Helmet- Try to get Int, Sta for best results
Gauntlets- Attack Power or Magic Casting Time Decreasing (DoMMT)
Boots- Speed for gathering, Def, HP/MP
Suit- – Sta, Int, Attack, Def, Speed, or DoMMT
Almost all buffs are important, get them all.
I would recommend lighting 4%/7% to increase attack.
I experimented with my +16%, took it off and did like 600 damage less. (4820 down to around 4180, note there is no way to know actual damage without attacking something.)
You could also have volcano or earthquake cards.
I would recommend at least water or land C but B's are better.
To help in gathering try to awaken a shield and knucke with speed then pierce them with wind cards so you can put more useful things on your good stuff.
Element your suit to the correct element to reduce damage.
And as far as I know elementing your weapon doesn't help.
As and INT AOE to be straight forward you're gonna suck at PvP with out awakenings. If you want to try melee it won't work because you would have low attack speed and no str. If you want to try to Asal it will suck because you have no Strength. An approximate formula for Asal is something like this
[( Str/10) * MP] + (1.1 * Attack) or so I've heard.
What you need
So basicly if you want to Asal try to get Str awakenings on what you can get Str on and MP on the other things, Vigors,Demols, Mental neckless and maybe even a white tiger
How to get to lvl 70_ Tips and Suggestions
1-15 Pretty much go pure str need 5 forfroms from mushpangs
Easy- Basicly just go aorund and tell people you're a FS. After lvl 60 most people you lvl with won't care at least 1v1 or AOE if you have max heal.
Not as easy- go either 1v1 or str AOE to lvl 70 and then restate at lvl 70

Question: How can I tell if I have a DVT?
A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot in a vein deep below the surface of the skin. The clots can develop anywhere in the body, but usually occur in the legs. If a DVT breaks loose and travels to the lungs, it is called a pulmonary embolism (PE). A PE is a potentially fatal condition and the reason DVT is so scary in the first place. DVT can happen spontaneously or after surgery. DVT is more likely to happen with lack of movement and is more common when stuck in bed or on a plane for long periods. DVT can also be associated with injury -- even minor ones.
Answer: It can be hard to recognize a DVT; many of the symptoms resemble other conditions. If you think you may have a DVT, call your doctor immediately. If you think you're having a PE, Call 911.
Symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombosis
- Swelling in an arm or leg, or along a vein
- Pain or tenderness in the leg, which may only be felt when standing or walking
- Increased warmth in the area that's swollen or painful
- Redness or purple coloring on the skin near the swelling or tenderness
Symptoms of Pulmonary Embolism
- Unexplained shortness of breath
- Rapid breathing and fast heart rate (pulse)
- Pain when taking a deep breath
- Coughing up blood

Multiple fire crews responded to a large structure fire on Dutch Island near Isle of Hope early Monday.
The call went out at 5:30 a.m. to a fully engulfed structure fire on Wild Thistle Lane.
Fire units from Isle of Hope, Thunderbolt and Southside Fire have responded to the scene. When firefighters arrived they found a two-story home with heavy flames coming from the rear.
The home suffered extensive fire, smoke and water damage. Thankfully, no injuries were reported. Neighbors say a man and a woman live in the home and both made it out safe. Neighbors reported helping the couple put water on the fire before fire crews arrived.
The fire is now out. Crews will remain on the scene to monitor hot spots. The cause of the fire is not yet know. However, it is believed to have started in a fire pit in the back of the home that quickly spread.

Came across SO MANY of these adorable little creatures today.
They were no bigger than HALF of my pinkie fingernail.
And look so amazing up close with their fantastic tri-horns.
Hazing sleepily through the first weekend of shooting after starting a full week of commuting 3 hours daily on the ever popular SBS bus alternating between trying not to collapse on the person next to me and trying not to throw up from all the braking and surging like a small dive boat riding the Fremantle waves, we happily came across a Wide Jawed Viciria, which somewhat resembles a Scorpion.
The Wide Jawed Viciria comes under the family of Jumping Spiders (Salticidae). Jumping spiders are a hit with nature photographers. Wow, they'll give you a million great poses. They could scratch their armpits and still look glamorous. In the photo above, the spider is drumming on the leaf.
Here our model is looking demure by clasping its "hands" together like a formal portrait while directing its famed "headlights" gaze gently at the camera. Oh by the way, our model is male.
Over here the spider is doing the tango, putting its weight on one side and then quickly on the other side and back again.
Our eager model also provides great action shots. Here it is above, getting ready to do the action that gives the Salticidae its name: JUMP! And jump it did, multiple times onto… my partner's lens hood. Look at the back legs bunch up ready to provide it with the force to jump a distance so many times its own body length it's like us jumping over an entire HDB estate.
Other than the typical poses, the Viciria also does this strange yoga like pose when disturbed. Though I don't know what on earth it's trying to mimic.
Next time you're out wandering in the park, do keep an eye out for this great looking fellow! It likes to hang out under leaves, literally, just like these good looking fellows of the bat persuasion:
I had the great fortune of coming across an Orange Tailed Awl (Bibasis sena uniformis) in Singapore after having never sighted or photographed it here before during any of my hikes. The Awl had been muddying itself in the very kind of habitat Awls are famous for frequenting… a dank putrid toilet. And so there we were lying belly down on the toilet floor trying to get a good shot of it. After having had enough of all that… stuff …coming out of the toilet, the Awl was full and sleepy enough to be grimy-finger held.
Funnily enough, this rare treasure of a butterfly was flitting around smelly bodies coming in out of the rain and landing on dirty footprints. In flight, to the inexperienced eye, it was moth-like. And to many a passers-by, when they curiously asked what we were soiling our clothes for, this was probably as far from a pretty butterfly as they could have imagined.
Another not so commonly photographed although occasionally commonly encountered is the Yellow Flash (Rapala domitia domitia). Congregating in clusters of several individuals, the lambourghini of the butterfly kingdom makes its getaway almost unlike any other, by zipping away upwards into the trees, almost never offering a second chance at a better shot.
However, it seems that when you do chance upon a cluster then you would get to enjoy their company for a short while, before they seem to disappear for a long spell, during which many visits thereafter reveal no reason for this strange phenomenon except to assume that they seem to be seasonal in a country with only one season. This would be only the second encounter of a cluster in 5 years.
For all intents and purposes, it's hard to imagine why a snake might fall on one's head, considering how graceful, intelligent and poised these creatures are… unless you are prey.
I had the privilege of witnessing one of the members of the Genus Dendrelaphis or commonly known as Bronzebacks come cascading down like a deadly colourful ribbon on a skink amongst some large dead leaves.
In spite of its length (very long snake… at the very least 1.5m), the Elegant Bronzeback (Dendrelaphis formosus) made no more than a light thwack when it hit the ground and before you could open your mouth to gawk, the tail of the skink was already curling around a corner of the snake's jaws with the rest of it down its gullet.
Unlike some snakes which would sidle and slink away to the cover of the trees, this snake displayed an interesting curiosity, approaching the lens carefully, sliding under some leaves before raising its head high above the leaves, flicking its red tongue and wavering its long yellow neck. It did this at several instances, in spite of my boots making considerable amount of noise amongst the leaves, approaching closer instead of backing away.
Although I got a little hesitant when it got less than a metre away from me, it was hard not to be enraptured by its gaze and dance and took one last photo before letting it carry on on its merry way.
A butterfly photographer is oft heard lamenting the harbingers of heavy rain but given that even grey skies and the thunderous threat of lightning have recently delivered no promise of rain, I have been risking time and equipment in the hope of meeting sleepy individuals who would have been normally active at mid-day, like the Common Mormon and the rarely settling Tree Nymph:
Lulled by the cool breeze and the easy sway of the trees, even the normally skittish Chocolate Royal exchanged break neck speed for a quiet moment in the dim sunlight, warming its purple wings.
A couple of Grey Sailors coupling under the cover of a leaf.
The male was that much smaller than the female. When disturbed, the female flew a short distance away with the male hanging onto her by its tail.
The Sailors moved their wings up and down in slow meditative fashion. First the male then the female, the female than the male.
The contemplative couple did not grace me long with their elusive presence, and flitted in uncharacteristic clumsy fashion to the deep cover of the brush, leaving nothing but a couple of great photos!
Every once in a while, something great happens. Like after the many times where the Orange Emigrant and I would pass shoulder to ear, and ear to shoulder, that I'd force myself to keep walking away, having to watch the weather, watch the time and watch the circumstances and weigh this choice against the probability that it would never quite stop for me.
Then on a day bereft of practical choices, having walked myself into the ground, the Orange Emigrant stopped for me.
Things certainly did not start out that way. During the seasons when I was young and was on a path to prove to the world that they were wrong to doubt me and that I would brave any kind of fire just to prove a blind point that I could fight wars, I chased the Orange Emigrant through many a trail, believing that that was all that would take to turn the odds of making a creature beyond command bend to my will.
Through the years that ensued, however, having torn my knees and hands through thorns and brush, my thoughts, confused, conditioned to believe that all things in Life live out an unerring pattern, lost themselves in the best intentions and desires of others.
Then on day when the caterpillars have eaten all these palaces of trees to the ground, whilst languishing amongst the dead leaves, in a magic meeting of time, space and day, the Orange Emigrant stopped to drink water bleeding from sand and stone.
And I sat up in the mud and rejoiced at being proven wrong, watching a whole inflated third of my life with its grey skin of make-believe wisdom and sinewy beliefs and preconceptions tear open to give way to second chances, different choices.
I blew the Emigrant a kiss long time coming, and stopped, watching as the familiar bright tail of the Singapore Dream flit farther and farther through the trees out of sight, leaving in its wake, wet trails spangled with possibilities.
To see the world in a butterfly
You must first on the bare earth lie
Look up into the sky
And let your heart take wing.
A male Chocolate Albatross shot in Gombak, Kuala Lumpur.
Where might you have been?
What have your tattered wings seen?
To fly with you, my soul is keen
Come and take me to the brink.
Your freedom tresspasses all
I lay trapped in this shell
Everything in my world becomes so small
When on your amazing travels I dwell
The migrant Chocolate Albatross butterfly travels great distances from Malaysia all the way to Singapore. The butterfly is seasonal and is not always found throughout the year. This rare female spotted in a Nature Reserve was a rare find as females are very rarely seen. In this rare occasion, the female also appeared to be puddling, a behaviour which is not impossible but is rarely observed amongst female butterflies.
To see the world in a butterfly
Worldly pleasures become a lie
Look at life through your mind's eye
And let your soul take flight.
The Sweet Life
Just type "chocolate royal" into Google search and the first image that it gives you is a luscious chocolate cake with plenty of chocolate icing on top.
The Chocolate Royal butterfly sounds like expensive dessert for blue blood. And reminiscent of its name, it is a dark brown colour with two black tornal spot crowned with metallic green.
Check out the colourful butt of this butt.
Previously, before a successful attempt by Horace Tan on capturing the life history, very little was known about its life history. But thanks to his efforts, you can see the full story here.
The Chocolate Royal is a rare butterfly. And I have only seen it twice ever. And one of them was in poor condition. This individual hung around long enough in spite of heavy human traffic to allow every one of us to get its photograph, including 3 guests with point and shoots (who were privileged to be allowed by the butterfly to get so close).
The butterfly is pretty fast on the wing and in this instance, preferred to return again and again to the same area, brushing its proboscis against the leaves.
Young of the Chocolate Royal feed on Eurya acuminata.
Gliding In The Shadows
Unlike the zippity expensive dessert butterfly, the less allusively named and humbly coloured Spotted Black Crow glides slowly in the shadows of the trees.
The young of the butterfly feeds on Parsonia helicandra, a plant which belongs to the family Apocynaceae, a family of plants known to have chemicals which is used by male butterflies in the sub-family Danainae in their courtship rituals.
This group of plants fed on by the butterflies both when young and as adults also gives the butterflies its distastefulness which provides the butterflies protection from predators such as birds.
Hence with this in mind, the butterfly was not in any haste to get away from me as I stumbled, climbed and clawed my way up the muddy embankment on which it had calmly perched itself in a tree just slightly out of reach.
Not The Black or Yellow Ones
Standing motionless on the forest floor, a lone male Archduke came plodding around my feet instead of flying away. The fact that it isn't speckled and all yellow readily eliminates the chances of it being a yellow Archduke, which doesn't display the dimorphism of the "normal" Archduke (dirteana).
Peering down at the curious butterfly (which had now climbed gingerly up onto my shoe) revealed that its sub-apical antennae were not black either, eliminating the possibility that this was the Black Archduke.
The comparison between all three Archdukes and poring through past photos however, causes me to wonder whether these two particular individuals encountered many months ago feeding on pineapple were actually the Yellow Archdukes.
As described in Corbet and Pendlebury 4, the underside of the L. canescens pardalina was an ochreous brown and clearly defined yellowish spots. And both individuals were markedly smaller than the usual size of the female dirteana (photo attached for comparison).
Ochreous underside with defined yellow spots
Hugely different sizes between photo above and below
To save you from your confusion, refer to these very comprehensive links on the differences on butterflycircle.com:
I spent the afternoon rolling around in the grass and mud trying to get acquainted with the frightened bursts of Yellow Flashes. The butterfly flies with a blinding speed, eluding even the experienced eye. And its yellow blending into the glare of the sunlight on the leaves makes it hard to spot amongst the cow grass.
But the colony of several individuals have a predictable pattern, taking turns to land around the same areas. When quietly observed through the grass, the butterfly crawls along the length of the grass, turning around and around until it flits quickly to another blade nearby where it repeats the same behaviour.
The butterfly is one of the largest species in the Rapala family but despite its size, is one of the hardest to spot in the field.
The Common Hedge Blue was found in almost every section of the path today. The explosion of fluttering and puddling blues rose up like spatterings of blue petals carried by the wind, settling disorderly in our wake as we pass.
The Red Thief
A large batik spider looking web dotted with many of these spiders was spotted while out looking for butterflies. At the first look, I thought we had come across a kind of 'social spider' something along the lines of 'social bees' which had cooperatively come together to build a huge impressive web.
But after checking on the identification of this tiny red community of spiders, it seems like they had gathered on this large web to help themselves to the buffet of hanging lunches while the owner of the 'house' was away. The spiders' regular habitat are the webs of other spiders.
Ref: Joseph Koh's Guide to Common Singapore Spiders
Red Eyes Staring In The Dark
The Coconut Skipper belongs to the family of Hesperiidae and has two huge goggly eyes beset in its furry face, a typical feature of the butterflies in this family. The Coconut Skipper is usually found in forest shade and typically rockets up into the air when the flash light hits it. This happens so fast that all you get is a half of a butterfly disappearing over the top of the frame.
Considering their shady habitat and their habit of flying around with huge bursts of speed, their large eyes are probably so as to help them see better. Although why some of them are favoured with such beguilingly blood red jewel eyes is not known. An experiment done on the swallowtail has shown that the eyes are not actually black as superfically seen with the human eye, but a mixture of deep pink, pale pink and yellow. So who knows whether those eyes are as red as they seem. Read The Butterfly's Coloured Spectables here. See all the different variations of butterfly eyes here.
Ref: http://butterflycircle.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-spy-with-my-little-eye.html
The Red Flash Of Sunset
A senior photographer opened my eyes to an oft-overlooked butterfly over the weekend when he pointed out a butterfly whose drab undersides looked beguilingly like one of the often encountered members of Lycaeninae.
But come evening and sunset and suddenly 'Open Sesame!', males of this species sit around prettily, spreading open their drab wings and vie with the setting sun, competing red with red.
That is, if the males would let each other rest long enough to do so. Territorial in behaviour, each male will chase other males away from his perch until you get a nice brouhaha of 3 or 4 males zipping around like fighter planes, nose diving and rocketing into each other with great speed.
Females are drab and brown in contrast to the males. Because of this and also because they don't dog-fight each other, they are harder to spot in the foliage.
Read more about it here.
The Scarlet Backed Flowerpecker
After I'd stopped 'birding' around with my Sigma 500mm, I'd not seen this bird for about a year until now. By chance, while wandering around the melastoma bushes.
That being said, it seems the bird is not uncommon, having been spotted even in urban parks. The first time I saw it about a year back was in Labrador park in a very open spaced area in a short sparse bush near a park bench.
It makes a very noticeable rough clicking sound which will make any macro photographer want to investigate. Its movement also makes it easy to spot, flitting quickly from branch to branch.
Females are drab with only a red vent. Click here for photos of female as well as nesting behaviour.

And if this invasion of fly privacy still isn't close up enough to satisfy your curiosity of these death-seeking blood-eyed creatures, check out this fun site with a microscopic lens that allows you to see different parts of a fly real up close! It definitely helps if you still can't figure out where the halter (a distinguishing feature of the Order Diptera) is.

FORT WORTH – The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has charged two men in the illegal shooting of an alligator found dead in the Trinity River earlier this month.
Patrick Miller, 34, was cited for illegally hunting and not having a hunting license.
Kenyon Ivory, 31, was charged for having an unregistered vessel and not having enough flotation devices.
The department will also seek restitution of $5,300 from Miller.
The 11-foot long alligator was pulled from the water between Lake Worth and eagle Mountain Lake near Fort Worth Nature Center.
It is illegal to hunt reptiles, but not on public land.

A weekend accident has one Lubbock family traveling between two hospitals.
Thirteen-year-old Chelsea Childers was is in stable condition at Covenant Medical Center Monday night following a car accident Saturday.
Just last month, her father, Corporal Scott Childers, suffered serious injuries in a motorcycle accident. He is recovering at University Medical Center.
As if that weren't hard enough, someone also stole money from the family's benefit fund. NewsChannel 11 alerted you to that theft last week. Lubbock Police say the money has been replaced, and with the person accused of stealing that money charged, they're asking folks to add to the fund and help the Childers family.
"We're trying to do everything we can to help out, and we're hoping to get some help from outside the police department also," Lubbock Police Sgt. Clay Winters said.
In an effort to bring some good luck to a family that's seemed to only have bad lately, Sgt. Winters and the Lubbock Police Department are asking folks to help with the family's medical expenses... expenses that doubled this weekend.
"Her back was broken. She was ejected from the vehicle," Winters said.
He is talking about Cpl. Childers' daughter, Chelsea. Winters tells NewsChannel 11 that Chelsea broke her back after a car accident on Saturday. She was riding with friends in Lubbock County, when the car wrecked, and Chelsea was thrown out.
"She's probably looking at a long term stay in the hospital. Right now it's hard to say how long she'll spend there," Winters said.
As Chelsea recovers at Covenant, her father continues his recovery across the way at UMC.
"The family is having to travel between each hospital," Winters said.
Cpl. Childers is improving after losing control of his motor cycle last month in New Mexico, but the family's finances have taken a hit.
Police arrested 32-year-old Lorianne Sauceda last week. She's charged with stealing between $500 and $1,500 from Childers' benefit fund at WesTex Federal Credit Union.
"Just Scott's situation is going to be a major financial burden for them. All the help we've received has just been great so far, and all of the support, and I know the family appreciates, and the police department appreciates all the help," Winters said.
The Childers' fund will now benefit both family members, and Lubbock Police tell us the credit union is closely monitoring all accounts. If you would like to help, donations are being accepted at WesTex Federal Credit Union.

The Bike Plan is finally free. Can it help soothe tensions between cyclists and motorists?
08.10.10 - 3:20 pm | Rebecca Bowe |
Speaking in a soft voice, he explained that he'd gone out on his bike to buy milk from Safeway, and had nearly made it back to his apartment in the Mission. The next thing he remembers is blacking out. "Bam, that's it," he said. "I just remember I flew in the air. That's it."
He woke up two nights later at San Francisco General Hospital. He said he nearly fainted when doctors conveyed the extent of the damage. Casajeros' medical bills totaled around $300,000, according to his close friend and one of his temporary caretakers, Kellie Arechiga. He was accepted into the city's Healthy San Francisco program after the incident, but previously did not have medical insurance. Employed as a server at the Old Clam House, he's been unable to complete a shift since being struck by the SUV.
Like many working-class San Franciscans, he's a renter who lives paycheck to paycheck. A benefit at the Old Clam House drew support from friends, coworkers, and the cycling community, but it's too early to say how his life will be affected in the long run.
Several days after the four cyclists were hit, 39-year-old David Mark Clark of Albany — the owner of the SUV — approached police with a story that he had been carjacked that night, but he was immediately arrested and charged in connection with the hit-and-runs. The San Francisco Police Department refused to release the police record from the incident, saying it was part of an ongoing investigation.
Clark has been held without bail in the psych ward of San Francisco County Jail since his arrest, according to Brendan Conroy, his criminal defense attorney. He pleaded not guilty to four counts of attempted murder, four counts of assault with a deadly weapon (a car), and three counts of battery causing serious bodily injury. He appeared in court in late July and is scheduled to go back Sept. 24. He has no prior criminal record.
The incident sent shock waves throughout the cyclist community, leaving people wondering what kind of a person could be capable of such a thing. People close to Clark told the Guardian they were shocked to learn of the charges against him.
Originally from Westchester County, N.Y., Clark worked as a tennis instructor, giving lessons in Berkeley. He was also known to be a practitioner of reiki — a kind of energy healing — and was deeply interested in crystal healing techniques and meditation.
If his Facebook contacts are any indication, Clark surrounded himself with massage therapists, energy healers, life coaches, and musicians. David Schlussel, a yoga instructor who underwent a reiki session with Clark, said he was "flabbergasted" when he heard of the charges. "He's so into peace and kindness, and he's a cyclist himself," he said, noting that if Clark is found guilty of running down the cyclists, it would reflect "a psychotic break."
Another source — who said he'd known Clark since age 14 — described him as "the nicest guy," saying, "he was all love and peace and harmony." The youngest of eight children, Clark grew up in a close-knit Christian family and moved to the Bay Area a little more than a year ago, drawn in part by a rich network of new age and spiritual organizations. He described Clark as "a student of life and spirituality, and definitely zealous about it."
He said he hadn't spoken to Clark in the weeks prior to the incident, but word in his social circles was that Clark may have been acting strangely in the days before the rampage, possibly not sleeping and meditating more than usual. "This was some freak situation that I don't even know the details of," he said. Whatever happened, Clark's friend was insistent that "this has nothing to do with any bicyclist hate. That's just a crock."
If I were a betting man, I would say that Clark suffers from bi-polar disorder.

As stated in this story, bikes are "really a vehicle", it is time for a law requiring registration and a license plate for bikes using the streets, as well as requiring liability insurance for bike riders. Bikes cause accidents at times, and riding a bike is no excuse for having no insurance. The bike rider can still be sued and held liable for thousands of dollars in damages.
You can't have it both ways. If a bike is not "really a vehicle", then they don't belong on roads. If they are "really a vehicle" and entitled to the road, then a license and insurance must be required.

Saying that bicyclists don't obey traffic laws, "often because they see most road users regularly violating traffic laws with impunity." is the most childish thing I have heard. Did your mother ever tell you that just because you see other people doing wrong, doesn't make it right?
As a pedestrian living in San Francisco for 19 years, 18 of which without a car, I can tell you I have been clipped a few times by law breaking cyclists who were riding in or through a crosswalks while I was in it. On of these clipping left a bruise on my arm as the planet saving cyclist sped away.
After recently getting a car, I now find myself dealing with cyclists who don't stop at red lights and stop signs, pass on the right, and generally drive their vehicles in way that doesn't make me believe they care about sharing the road.
I do agree with the other post suggestion that bicycles should be registered and drivers be licensed. I also think EVERYONE on the road should obey the laws even if they see other people who chose, for whatever childish reason, not too.

We all agree road users should respect each other's right of way, be predictable, and be courteous. Let's focus enforcement on those incidents which violate these principles.

At seven I learned to ride a bike in the Ingleside. Thirty years ago I worked here as a bike messenger. Now, I bike nearly every day in the City -- mostly for errands, work, etc.So I feel pretty comfortable saying that drivers here have gotten a lot better about making room for bikes and treating us pretty well.
In the three years since I moved back here from parts elsewhere, I have been impressed by how well painted bike lanes work -- either colored portions or just the solid white line that delineates where cars are supposed NOT to go. I feel a lot safer. As a driver, too, I adore that solid white line, because it means that as a driver I can count on the bikers to take a dedicated part of the road and not the lane I'm driving in. I can't wait for most of the city to have these lanes.
My only gripe is with the greatly increased numbers of fellow bikers -- I feel endangered by many of them whizzing by me on left or right sides, not stopping or slowing at intersections I'm riding through with the right-of-way, and pushing ahead of me when I'm stopped at a light on Valencia, etc. No car driver would maneuver to get in front of you at a stop, just because they assumed they would ride faster than you down the line. I suspect it will take some years for bike etiquette to catch up with the mass of new riders.

All the paint and other expensive Infrastructure will not turn the City into the bicycle heaven proponents claim. What will you do on those streets left unchanged when the funding runs out? And it will run out.
What will you do when, contrary to your utopian dreams the majority of residents-- tax payers, voters, citizens with rights equal to cyclists'-- just don't climb on a bike as you wish them to, and continue to drive their 2 ton, recyclable, eco-friendly hybrid 6 passenger SUVs down to the corner for a ciggy-poo?
Some of you will wake up and begin to bicycle as lawful road users, actually sharing the road yourselves. You'll release your self-righteousness and realize that choosing to bicycle-- to save personal wealth, reduce pollution, reduce demand for fossil fuels, cop some daily exercise, dodge parking fees-- is actually a pretty "conservative" approach to life.
Some of you.
Others will behave like that childish messenger quoted in the story who puts his needs ahead of everyone else. To shoot the gaps, pop the reds, steal right of way (despite his "code") and generally treat everyone else on the road like crap.
I cheer electronic media transmission that daily reduces the excuse for his "profession's" existence. We'll all be better off when he works full time twisting wrenches in some very hip bike shop.
Good luck painting the town green! I will be most amused to ride there. Hopefully I won't be ticketed for riding as a legal road user "outside the lines."
Posted by Guest on Aug. 11, 2010 @ 12:18 pm
Oh Mr/Ms.Gloom and Doom,
What will happen when funds for the "paint and other expensive infrastructure" runs out? Ridiculous. Would you say crosswalks will stop getting painted because of a shortage of funds? Road paint and flexible posts are cheap, probably the cheapest things anyone can do to help drivers and bikers and buses and pedestrians share the road in the most economical use of space. The sky is not going to fall, chaos will not reign, and cars will continue to be a part of the mix.

There's a tendency to act like the only vehicles on the road are cars and bikes. But there's also Muni, which is the real workhorse of non-automotive transportation in San Francisco. I'd like to see some serious, non-ideological analysis of what happens to Muni under the Bike Plan. To the extent that road space is reallocated from motor vehicles to bikes, that means buses will be on slower, more congested roadways. That's bad for Muni, it's bad for Muni passengers, and ultimately it's bad for bicyclists. If buses slow down to the point where their passengers get frustrated and get in their cars, it will generate exactly the auto traffic that the Bike Plan seeks to reduce.
Posted by Guest Wanderer on Aug. 11, 2010 @ 12:34 pm
I practice all forms of transportation in SF, MUNI, driving, bycling and walking, with the last being my most frequent.
I walk to work almost everyday and am constanly amazaed by byclists hyporcrisy. They want cars to treat them as equals and obey the laws (as cars should) but almost everyday I am nearly run over by CYCLISTS who run stop signs or redlights while I am in the crosswalk, twice I have been hit. The last time, led to the cyclists catching a kick to face (broken nose) as he was picking up his bike. Some may say this was extreme but this little no brake hipster dufus caused me 8 six stiches to my leg.
The problem for pedestrians are not cars, drivers have been trained for decades to always yield to pedestrians. These days the imtimidating aggressors are cyclists who are very dangerous to pedestrians. Cyclists insist cars follow all laws and yield to them while simultaneously running a stop sign and not yielding to pedestrians. This is hypocrisy at it's worst. Or even worse, they will buzz right by me with in inches on the sidewalk or the panhandle pathway going super fast. These same assholes would have a fit if a car buzzed by them that close on the road.
Bikers, if a pedestrian is in a crosswalk you MUST yield that means stop your bike and wait for them to exit the cross walk. And the whole argument that bikes shouldn't have to stop because then they have to pedal to start the momentum is a comnplete BS argument. Your on a bike, if you don't want to have to pedal to start your momentum then walk or run.
As with everything else, everyone hates a hypocrit; if cyclist want cars and pedestrians to start respecting them, maybe they should try showing respect to pedestrians.

I haven't owned a car since 1987, and ride a bicycle on average six days a week. I'm also hugely disappointed in the SFBG's counterproductive attempt to create controversy where little or none actually exists.
As a regular rider and pedestrian, every day I see, motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians performing an intricate, and more or less frictionless, dance. Countless small nods and non-verbal signals are given, slight adjustments in speed and direction are made, all with nary a second thought by any of the participants.
Are there "bad" motorists? Sure, just as there are socially maladroit bicyclists and clueless pedestrians. But confrontations and anger between motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians are in fact RARE.
Alas, human nature is such that there will always be a small number of folks who, regardless of their chosen form of transport, will try to spice up their lives with harrowing tales of a maniacal driver, rude bicyclist, or willfully inept pedestrian. And demand that "Action Against Those Renegade [fill-in-the-blank] Be Taken NOW!"
I understand that sensationalism sells newspapers. Nevertheless, the SFBG could have, should have, done better.
Posted by Guest on Aug. 11, 2010 @ 2:21 pm
As a 62 year old lifetime bicycle commuter I read your article "Care not Crash."
with great interest. I believe the column gives an incomplete understanding about the
laws covering bicycles. The general law is that bicycles must ride as far to the
right as is "practicable." Then there are several exceptions to that rule, such
as avoiding road hazards or preparing to turn left.
The key exception which gives bicyclists full use of a lane is called a
"substandard lane," defined as a lane which is too narrow to be safely shared by
a car and a bicycle. That covers many streets in San Francisco, and is the
situation where the "Bicyclists Allowed Use of Full Lane" signs are posted. I
this case, bicyclists are free to ride in the center of the lane and don't have
to ride to the right.
It is important that bicyclists riding in traffic understand this law and assert
their right to ride out in the lane. If they ride to the far right of such a
lane, then cars try to pass them in the lane and come dangerously close to them.
It is also important that motorists are educated about the law. As much as
motorists complain about scofflaw bicyclists, they often get mad at cyclists who
are legally riding in the center of a lane.

In response to the Guest comment regarding SFBG's "attempt to create controversy where little or none actually exists," you are entitled to your opinion and I am happy to have a dialogue with you -- but I have a few questions. If no tension exists between cyclists and motorists, why did the SF Civil Grand Jury invest time, energy, and resources into researching ways to address that very issue? Why did hundreds of cyclists bother to attend meetings on the Bike Plan and go on record stating that they want safer conditions for cycling? Why are demonstrators outside of Arco going so far as to risk arrest to improve the safety of that intersection? Why does Wyle receive a call a day from a cyclist who's had a run-in with a motorist? I'd argue that all of this is evidence that tensions do exist out there on the roadways, and there's nothing sensational about exploring these issues.

I've been using my bike as my primary mode of transportation since 2003, have been a five-days per week bike-CalTrain-bike commuter since January 2008, and I simply haven't seen, let alone experienced, that many incidents. When I have, they've been no greater in frequency or severity than when I've been driving or walking. That is to say that bicycling has not in my experience neither created nor eliminated conflicts with the occasional hothead.
For that reason, I simply can't buy into the notion that there's this huge conflict between motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. As one who sees plenty of things going on in the streets, I'm pretty sure I'd have more harrowing tales of Bad Drivers if they were as abundant as some assert they are.
That's not to say that breaking free from our current automobile-centric way of life in pursuit of happier, healthier alternatives is not a step forward, or that issues from the changes arising from these changes shouldn't be explored.
It is to say that I firmly believe there are some people who would like to dramatize things and create conflicts for a variety of reasons that may or may not have anything to do with the issues at hand. That in turn inaccurately creates an ambiance of conflict rather than mutual adaptation to emerging new ways of transporting ourselves.
People don't become saints or sinners simply because they've chosen one form of transportation over another. There are jerks in all three transport modalities, but just as in life in general, they're the exception rather than the rule.

"If no tension exists between cyclists and motorists, why did the SF Civil Grand Jury invest time, energy, and resources into researching ways to address that very issue?"
This is the same Civil Grand Jury upon which Adachi is basing his attack on dependent health care for City workers, right?
What are the demographics of the CGJ compared to those of SF at large? My bet is that the CGJ is 20 years older and 40% whiter than the City at large.
Is there any analysis that factors the CGJ's proposals according to the placement of that demographic within the larger SF context?
My read is that the CGJ is cranky, old and humming variants on "get off of my lawn."
Posted by Guest on Aug. 12, 2010 @ 8:25 am
As far as tensions on the roadway goes, they are slightly higher now than they'd been over the past few years. My bet is that people are freaked out over the lack of security and control over their lives by any measure and are using their vehicles to compensate.
I have also noticed over the past week that the annual influx of 20-30 something white people on their way to the Black Rock Desert are starting the party early and driving like maniacs.
I would probably feel the same if I drove, what, with the slim opening to experiment with the good life before preparing for a life sentence in the nirvana known as monogamous heterosexual wed lock.
Left out of this analysis and out of advocacy is how we are going to get the SFPD to enforce the law according to Transit First. Simply physics tells us that the consequences of motorist wrongdoing far outweigh the consequences of rogue cyclists.
Law enforcement should be deployed according to DPH death and injury statistics, and deployment should be regularly evaluated to ensure that the SFPD is keeping San Franciscans safe. There have to be consequences for motorists continuing to drive on city streets as if they were still on the freeway.
But the SFBC has been too chickenshit over the past decade to acknowledge that most of most bike trips will take place on city streets off of the bicycle network, and that we have to do the heavy lifting to make the vast majority of streets safe, because that would involve challenging culture in the SFPD, which is apparently beyond their political capacity.

Didn't say they were stupid, rather that they approach this problem with a different set of values.
If we all had the same values, there would be no need for politics.
But since we do not all share values, distinguishing between different sets of values is politically legitimate.
Just like most San Franciscans would discern between SF values and Tea Party values, I think we can likewise discern between SF values and the values of those with enough time on their hands to participate in a CGJ, those who look nothing like my San Francisco and probably think a whole lot different as well.

Just as motorists endanger bicyclists with rude and illegal behavior, bicyclists endanger pedestrians on the sidewalk. Every day I see bicyclists illegally riding on crowded sidewalks indifferent to the safety of pedestrians. I have NEVER seen a bicycle cop giving a bicyclist a ticket for this offense in my 34 years in the city. Not once! I've even seen bicycle cops riding on the sidewalk. Great example guys! Six months ago I was hit by a bike while I was walking on the sidewalk. The bike was going fast and I was hit hard enough to be knocked off my feet. I was lucky. I wasn't seriously hurt - I only had painful bruises for two weeks.
I would like to see bicycle cops crack down on riding on the sidewalks and have the city post signs stating that riding on the sidewalk is illegal and subject to a fine. Enforce the law damn it!!!!
If another bicyclist his me on the sidewalk I will make sure he is hurt worse than me.

How many pedestrians are killed or injured by cyclists riding on the sidewalk?
How many pedestrians are killed or injured by walking into stationary objects on the sidewalk, or by falling off of the sidewalk, over the curb and onto the street?
How many cyclists are killed or injured by collisions with motor vehicles?
How many motorists are killed or injured by collisions with cyclists?
Enforcement priorities must be informed by the data with the goal of increasing safety as measured by reductions in injuries and deaths. Anything else is just jingoism.

Regarding Chris Carlsson's comments that motorists are "in gridlock before we even start riding"- BULLSHIT! What a self-centered, self-righteous imbecile. Almost the only time I am ever in gridlock driving in the City is when he and all the other Critical Mass idiots hold their monthly ride right in the middle of Friday evening rush hour. Regarding Rebecca Bowe's characterization of the upset it causes as "unreasonable", I'd like to point out that whenever the ride crosses my route home from work (where I need to drive) I am stuck in traffic for an additional 30 to 45 minutes. I think that it is very, very reasonable for me to be angered by that. A delay that long hardly ever happens for any other cause and I do all of my City driving at peak traffic times.
When I drive, I give cyclists their space and the overwhelming majority are courteous in return. However, I am not alone in hating Critical Mass, the reviews of it on Yelp! are proof of how unpopular the ride is (the only people who rate it positively are the participants- surprise, surprise). I believe that one event, more than any other single cause, provokes the bulk of whatever tension exists between motorists and bicyclists.

I heard this quite some time ago. I heard that some baseball coach, scout. or someone baseball executive noticed that Mark Mulder had a huge flaw in his pitching motion. Not sure if it was someone with the A's are Cardinals. Does anyone know who it is? This person basically said that Mulder would have arm problems later in his career if he continually pitched with the same motion.
Next, you can buy customized A's jerseys at the O. Can you have them personalize A's players? Could you get Stewart #34, Welch #35, Pizza #31 etc?
Also I get some go tired with this. I have heard fans and people in the media talk about the the Oakland Coliseum How it is the last multi purpose stadium in MLB. Yes the A's do share their stadium with the Raiders. The Toronto Blue Jays share their stadium with The Toronto Argonauts and the Buffalo Bills. I've heard fans, talk show radio guys, Greg Papa and many others get this wrong. This absolutely pisses me off.

By Manuel Perez: With Manny Pacquiaos recent problems with WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto not wanting to put his title on the line for the fight, Pacquiao might want to look in another direction towards WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley, who said that hes more than willing to still fight Pacquiao. On Thursday night at the GBP fight at the Club Nokia, Mosley said Tell them (Pacquiao, Bob Arum and Freddie Roach) what I offered is still on the table. The ball is in their court.
Pacquiao is upset with Cotto, his scheduled opponent for November 14th, because Cotto wont agree to put his WBO title on the line at the 145 pound catch weight that the two fighters agreed on. Although Cotto agreed to fight Pacquiao at the lower weight, nothing was ever said about the title being on the line. Technically, 145 falls in the range of the welterweight limit (141-147), but its two pounds below the upper limit.
This may not mean much for some people, especially fans of Pacquiao, but what it means for Cotto is that he would be forced to come in at 145 instead of 147. The extra weight that Cotto would have to trim off to squeeze into the 145 pound limit might hurt him and cause him to be weakened for the fight. Naturally, thats the whole point of there being a catch weight.
In other words, so that Cotto will be weaker than he usually is Pacquiao would have a better chance at winning, because without a catch weight, Cotto would likely beat the stuffing out of Pacquiao. However, with the 145 limit, it effectively changes the whole dynamics of the welterweight title bout, changing the established rules so that Pacquiao could have things his way. its hardly fair from my view of things and I dont blame Cotto for telling Pacquiao to forget fighting for a title unless the fight has the upper limit of 147.
If the fight with Cotto fails to proceed any further, I highly doubt that Pacquiao will fight Mosley, even though Mosley has already said that hed fight Pacquiao at a 141 pound catch weight and take the much smaller 40% share of the revenue despite being the champion. I think it doesnt matter what weight or what percentage of the revenue that Mosley is willing to give to Pacquiao, the Filipino wont be fighting him.
The reason is Mosley is fighting well and recently defeated Antonio Margarito in a 9th round stoppage earlier this year. Pacquiao probably wont want to risk fighting a talented fighter like Mosley. Pacquiao much prefers fighting Cotto, who was badly beaten last year and struggled in winning a controversial 12-round split decision over Joshua Clottey in his last fight.
The reasons for choosing Cotto are pretty obvious, although it does make Pacquiao look like a cherry picker of the worst order. But, then again, Pacquiao is coming off of wins over the shot and faded Oscar De La Hoya and a fighter that many people feel is overrated in Ricky Hatton, so this is pretty much par for the course. I say it now, Pacquiao will not fight Mosley if the bout with Cotto doesnt happen. Instead, look for Pacquiao to find some easy mark to fight for another easy payday. Who knows? Maybe Pacquiao can drag De La Hoya out of retirement for another needless fight.
Pacquiao really wants a chance winning a 7th world title for some reason, as if the victory would complete him somehow. Although I dont know what his preoccupation with winning a 7th world title is all about because I have no clue who most of the fighters are that Pacquiao defeated to pick up his other belts. Out of all of the titles that Pacquiao, I only see one of them over a quality fighter and thats Juan Manuel Marquez, who Pacquiao defeated by a questionable 12 round split decision last year in March. That fight appeared to be a loss for Pacquiao and many boxing writers, including boxing greats Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. agree with me on that.
Pacquiao needs to give in to Cotto and fight at 147 instead of his silly 145 pound catch weight. If Pacquiao is the pound for pound number #1 fighter in boxing, then certainly he doesnt need crutches like this to win, does he? If hes worried about two pounds being too much for him, then maybe Pacquiao shouldnt be fighting welterweights. He needs to go back down and resume fighting lightweights or super featherweights again. He never did fight Humberto Soto, who many people feel could beat Pacquiao and he still has Marquez that he needs to fight to clear up the controversy from their last two fights.

STEVENSVILLE, Mont. (AP) - The Ravalli County sheriff's office is investigating after a horse was strangled to death in its corral northeast of Stevensville over the weekend.
The Ravalli Republic reports (http://bit.ly/16LZJ9b) Patricia Cregan awakened Saturday to find her riding horse, Cooper, dead with a piece of nylon rope tied around its neck. The corral is about 100 feet from her house.
Cregan says she had raised the horse since it was a foal and that it was 7 or 8 years old.
Sheriff Chris Hoffman is asking anyone with information to call his office.

Hey Killis, Great job protecting our access to the VRG...I am sure that stealing a bunch of first clip draws is decreasing the climbing impact in this sensitive area significantly. After all everyone who's draws you stole are all sponsored, so it's no big deal...just taking back from the MAN. I guess you have taken it a few too many times from the Man anyways right? I am guessing you also brought your spray bottle up there to wash off some chalk and a shovel to work on the trail right? Boy you sure sound like a good Samaritan, too bad we don't have more of your type around here on the Front Range. Just keep telling yourself that you are stealing for the common good of the climbing community....You know what Karma is right?
Permadraws are never okay. Take you gear home with you, or you are donating it to anybody with a stick clip. Keep in mind this kind of thing has affected acess in other crags.
I would say it is only appropriate on routes that are severely overhung or otherwise difficult to clean. Also it depends on the other user groups in the area and how popular it is to them. If the access is sensitive, say private land or popular with groups such as hikers or birdwatchers, I'd say the draws are not appropriate. Whether you are for fixed draws or not, I don't think anyone can say they look good. Hell I'm an avid sport climber and I personally think bolts look terrible. An example of nessacary but terrible looking that comes to mind for me is The Bunkers at Foster Falls. I love the ease of clipping and not having to retrieve draws afterwards, but man it sure looks bad.
Depends on the area. If the access is really sensitive, gotta clean them all. In one such area, I watched a couple of dudes cleaning draws from a 60' horizontal roof once, yehaww! Non-trivial stunt to get all the draws back...
Where was that, Greg? And what motivated the cleanup, in your opinion?
BTW, that thread was wild-reminds me that I should be out enjoying life and not reading the tabloids!

Boston, Mass., May 9, 2013 – On Wednesday, May 8, The Breast Cancer Research Foundation's Boston Hot Pink Party fundraiser at the InterContinental raised close to $850,000—funds that will be directed toward medical research scientists based at New England-area institutions. This year's event, themed "Feathers, Glitz & Glam," was co-emceed by Kelley Tuthill of WCVB-TV/DT, Channel5, and Inside Edition's Deborah Norville, both of whom spoke with eloquence and passion about the critical, lifesaving advancements that BCRF-funded researchers in Boston are enabling. During the course of the evening, Boston philanthropists Carolyn and Peter S. Lynch were honored with the 2013 Boston Humanitarian Award for their ongoing commitment to supporting medical research, educational, and cultural programs throughout Massachusetts.
"As a breast cancer survivor, it is a privilege for me to support The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and honor Carolyn and Peter Lynch, truly philanthropic heroes in our community," said Kelley Tuthill. "Their leadership inspires so many to support BCRF in funding the grants awarded to the physicians and scientists who are working tirelessly to find a cure for this disease. BCRF was a tremendous support to me during my treatment and recovery and continues to be so today to countless women here in Boston and across the world. I'm confident their efforts will ensure our daughters will enjoy a future without breast cancer."
Directly following the Humanitarian Award presentation, Tuthill and Norville joined guests as they "dusted off their dancing shoes for a glitzy glam dance party" featuring entertainment by Boston-born hip-hop artist and rising star, Shea Rose. A recent Berklee School of Music graduate, Rose paid special tribute to BCRF's late founder, Evelyn Lauder, in acknowledging her passion, inspiration and drive to change the world for the better.
Some of the notable guests in attendance included: New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick, former football star Joe Andruzzi, Nancy and Rick Kelleher, television reporters Janet Wu and Tonya Mezrich, and Paqui Kelly, founder of the Kelly Cares Foundation and wife of head football coach at the University of Notre Dame, Brian Kelly.
Since BCRF hosted its inaugural Boston Hot Pink Party in 2005, led by the efforts of Boston residents Sandra Krakoff and Judith Schlager, New England has become the geographical area with the highest concentration of BCRF grantees. "Due to the stellar institutions and scientific research taking place in Boston, this is the city where BCRF makes the most investments: our cumulative investment here is nearly $41.8 million," said Myra Biblowit, President of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, to over 500 attendees. "The local talent here is truly extraordinary." Last year, BCRF named Boston a "million-dollar-city"—an esteemed title that reflects the dedicated fundraising efforts led by Boston residents in support of the Foundation's mission to achieve prevention and cure for breast cancer through innovative clinical and translational research.

Effingham Daily News
A trio of daytime burglaries this week hadn't been solved as of Friday afternoon, but Effingham police hope somebody will come forward soon.
Det. Sgt. Todd Ebbert said all three burglaries, one Tuesday and two Thursday, were committed after the burglar gained entry by prying open a front door. Ebbert added the two Thursday burglaries were likely committed by the same individual or group.
"They were in the same building and happened at the same time," Ebbert said. "We believe they were more than likely the same folks."
Both Thursday burglaries were committed in the 100 block of Illini Drive sometime during the day Thursday. In one heist, jewelry valued at $50 was stolen.
In the second one, however, burglars not only stole a purse valued at $50, but a handgun valued at $550.
Effingham police are also investigating a Tuesday burglary on Walnut Street, in which a laptop computer was stolen.
Ebbert said it doesn't appear the burglars were looking for anything specific.
"I think they just ransacked the apartments and took some random items," he said.
No suspects had been identified by Friday afternoon. Those with information on the heists are encouraged to call CrimeStoppers at 217-347-6583. Tipsters will remain anonymous and cash rewards are offered for information leading to an arrest.

I'm getting really sick and tired of seeing the same numbers on the scale day after day after day. I weigh 255, a high weight. Yes, I have lost 70 pounds, but I have a lot more to lose. I am eating right, exercising regularly, and putting in some hard labor outside. Why can't I get below this number?
I was really hopeful that this morning would put me down a little and finally break that plateau that I have been stuck at, but that wasn't the case. These numbers better move soon, I am really getting pissed off.
I'm going for a 5K run this morning, part of my training schedule getting ready for the half marathon in November. Every Sunday morning I am going to run increasingly longer distances training for the big run. This is the start of the training so I am just doing 5K. I'll be up to double that in about 6 weeks.

According to a recent survey conducted by the National Cybersecurity Alliance and Symantec, 90 percent of small businesses believe they are safe from malware and viruses, based on the security practices they have in place. However, millions of computer users, including small to midsized businesses (SMBs), are actually relying on fake security software to protect their PCs.
Marc Fossi is Manager, Research and Development, for Symantec, and is the executive editor of the Symantec Internet Security Threat Report.
Symantec's Report on Rogue Security Software notes that 43 million users downloaded one of 250 so-called "scareware" programs from June 2008 through June 2009. Scareware can be defined as programs that prey on users' fears of being infected with viruses or malware while using the Internet. Scammers dupe well-intentioned users into purchasing and installing these security programs that in reality not only provide little or no protection, but often actually install the very malicious code they promise to eradicate.
SMBs have enough on their minds without worrying that their employees may be tricked into deploying fake security software. It is frustrating to think that while scareware creators are potentially putting SMB customer information at risk, these scammers are also turning big profits - with the most successful scam artists earning $23,000 per week from users unknowingly purchasing their fake software.
To avoid becoming a victim of a rogue security software scam, SMBs must be able to help their employees recognize such cons and take steps to minimize their vulnerability.
SMBs-Beware of "Flashing Ads"
Scammers use several methods to trick people into downloading rogue security software. They design their programs to appear as credible as possible, often mimicking the look and feel of known, legitimate security software programs - using the same fonts, colors, and layouts of real security sites as well as familiar advertisements, pop-up windows and notifications. These rogue applications typically also have names that are similar to legitimate software. For example, the top five fake security programs are named SpywareGuard 2008, AntiVirus 2008, AntiVirus 2009, SpywareSecure and XP AntiVirus.
Rogue security software even shows up alongside legitimate security programs in searches, often at the top of the search engine index. Scammers seed search engine results by capitalizing on popular news items, events, or celebrities, typically using a range of black hat search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to effectively poison search engine results. By doing this, they elevate the ranking of their scam sites whenever any topical news event is searched.
Another highly effective scamming tactic is to display false claims of security threats on an employee's computer. For example, an employee may be surfing the Web when an ad begins flashing and a message appears telling the employee that the flashing ad indicates the employee's computer is likely infected or at risk of infection. These messages are often persistent, repeatedly urging the user to address the risk immediately by following a link where the computer is more completely scanned, the user can buy protective software, or the threat can be removed.
Unfortunately, these and other tactics are working for scammers. According to the report, 93 percent of installations of rogue security software are intentional. What users are unaware of is that by allowing a scan, purchasing rogue software, or downloading removal tools, they may actually be exposing their computer, their company and customer information to spyware. This mistake can place an SMB's customer credentials such as credit card numbers and other personally identifiable information into scammers' hands -- even depositing money directly into scammers' pockets.
These "Rogue Security Programs" seem really common lately. I'm a small town PC tech and I've cleaned 3 systems of these just this week. I think they make of 90% of my malicious software removal work. They often get right past good anti-virus and anti-spyware programs, then lock down the computer so you can't run any real security programs, or even task manager or msconfig. I often have to scan with 4 or 5 different programs before it's found and removed. Malewarebytes and Spybot Search & Destroy seem to be the most successful on average, but even they fail sometimes.Reply
I recently got a Trojan through Facebook although I have up-to-date antivirus software installed on my computer. After I figured out how to remove it, I wrote a blog about the steps I took. You can find my blog here http://shellyagoodcook.wordpress.com/. Hope it helps.Reply
To mlaridon:
What apps did you use to remove the malware when Malwarebytes & Spybot S&D failed (or was a HD formate & OS reinstall required?) ?
Have you also tried SUPERAntiSpyware Professional? Its free version got good reviews in Maximum PC (as did Malwarebytes).Reply
I wanted to read your blog/tweet on how you removed the trojan you got via Facebook but the link was bad. Is this something you could repost? Thanks.Reply
Yes the rouge antivirus is the most common type of virus removed 99% of all viri I remove are of this type, this is the procedure I use to recover from this type of infection.
1) Use a Windows PE based boot disk such as UBCD for Windows to boot to a PE environment.
2) Use the registry restore tool to restore the registry to a state previous to the infection.
3) Reboot
4) Install Malwarebytes and update definitions.
5) Scan and remove any stray virus files left.
Normally this will solve the problem.Reply

Q: Can a person develop a milk allergy and what are the symptoms?
Dr. Paul Lenkowski with Jefferson Surgical Clinic gives us the facts on this one:
Yes, but usually you develop this allergy as an infant and outgrow it by your teen years. It is uncommon to develop this allergy in adult life but you certainly can have a milk allergy that carries on from infancy.
Yes, milk allergy can cause gastrointestinal symptoms like cramping, bloating, diarrhea, even blood in the stool, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea; typically in conjunction with cutaneous and/or respiratory symptoms.
You can even develop an anaphylaxis reaction to food allergens similar to that of a peanut allergy, but this is less common. More often GI upset from milk comes from Lactose intolerance which is an enzyme problem more than an allergy.

Since we all need a break from discussing who the Packers should and should not acquire or get rid of, I thought I'd do a post on what I think will be the most important matchup of the Packers-Redskins game. If you're still interested, follow the jump!
According to Football Outsiders, the Packers currently are ranked 22nd against passes to tight ends. I'm sure this comes as little surprise to anyone who saw Shaun Hill complete pass after pass to Pettigrew and Scheffler in Week 4. The really bad news is that the tight ends the Packers have faced so far this season are only ranked (by DVOA) 30th (Celek), unranked (Stupar), 31st (Olsen), 28th (Scheffler), and 14th (Pettigrew). And consider further that Brandon Chillar (who had the best stop rate on passing plays of all the starting Packers LBs last year according to Football Outsiders) was available for most of these games.
Chris Cooley is ranked 20th among tight ends by DVOA, higher than all but one of the tight ends previously faced by the Packers this season. In addition, while Fred Davis is unranked by DVOA due to not having enough receptions, his DVOA of 90.7% would lead all tight ends. With Chillar and Burnett out of the game, Capers is going to have to actively scheme to keep the Redskins from bleeding us to death with passes to their tight ends. Does he put Woodson on Cooley all game? Bracketed coverage? What are your thoughts?
Me? I'll be giving a first hand report next week, maybe. (I'll be at the game, very excited!)

hiphop for php
Posted by Stas on February 3, 2010
By now probably everybody that is connected to PHP world knows about Facebook's HipHop.
So here are my thoughts about it.
1. This is a very cool and exciting technology. There were multiple attempts to do this in various ways, and from what it looks, HipHop is the most successful and appealing. I know doing these things is not easy – I tried something like that myself somewhere back in 2006 but was unable to go past very basic examples (I also made a mistake of choosing C instead of C++ as target, which I now think was not a smart decision). And the progress and support for almost all of the PHP magic is definitely great. There still are unsupported areas, but mostly are dark corners into which not many people venture (or should venture, at least :)
2. I do not see it as a replacement for php.net code or Zend Engine. The mainstream of PHP development still happens in the community around php.net and I do not think it is going to change anytime soon. I also see the fact that HipHop engine basically re-implements all the extensions as a serious disadvantage, for which the solution should be sought, even though I completely understand the technical reasons for doing so. I do not know which kind of the solution but while for the company like Facebook it might be OK to "freeze" certain set of extensions and features and maybe catch up periodically, I think it is obvious how such model can be a problem for the wider adoption.
3. If we talk about broader adoption of this technology in a wider PHP world, there are some serious challenges to consider:
- Plugins: right now, you must compile your whole application. However, many real-life applications have extensive plugin models, which consist of their main competitive advantage – take WordPress, Drupal, Magento, any Zend Framework app – all of these allow to write custom plugins and run them alongside the main code base. The model in which you have to rebuild whole application each time you add/change a line of code is not acceptable in these circumstances.
- Modularity: this is connected to the above, but is a bit different. PHP right now runs on Apache, IIS, Lighty, nginx, and tons of other servers in different environments. For the use of the technology in the wide variety of environments PHP is used in, one must be able to modularize and separate the application PHP code from the runtime and the environment.
- Portability: I tried to run a bunch of my scripts through the demo that the HipHop team was very kind to give me – and most of them experiences unsupported functions or some function didn't work exactly as their PHP counterparts (random example: PHP's fopen() would error out given empty first argument, while HPHP implementation would open the current directory as file. There are more such things…). Now, I admit, it would be very easy to fix them, to use different functions and they would work, but again I think it's obvious how it can be a problem for a PHP programmer, if you are not coding targeting HipHop specifically – and especially of you use 3rd-party code. Having different implementations always presents portability challenges.
- Thread-safety: A huge problem with PHP thread-safety is third-party libraries. Many of them are not thread safe either explicitly, or, even worse, implicitly – i.e. they just have either bugs or information leaks between threads (like changing some setting in one thread and feeling its effect in another – imagine chdir() leaking through the thread boundaries – see how it can be a problem?) HipHop team's answer to this question was "we had fixed all those extensions" – which, without diminishing the capabilities of this excellent team, I think is not a satisfactory answer. It very well may be that they indeed fixed all the problems they could see in the code they run – but let us not forget they run one (albeit huge) application. I have hard time believing they have fixed every threading problem with every C library in existence that has interface to PHP and will continue to do so as long as C libraries exist. This of course goes back to modularity question, since here we have coupling between compiling and runtime model.
- Debugging: obviously, debugging C++ code is orders of magnitude harder than PHP code. So you either need ninja debugging skills, or a very good set of tools to allow you to identify a problem in a live server running non-source PHP.
4. I also see certain danger potential in the success of this project. The danger primary being that the performance is very important in the web world, and it can give an incentive to the PHP community to change PHP in ways that may be better for performance, but would make PHP into being an entirely different language. The obvious example of this is strict typing – strict typing, of course, would help the compiler a lot in figuring out what's going on with the code. However, I am not convinced at all that it would make the life of a PHP programmer easier. I know there are a number of proponents of this but I am still not convinced it's the way for PHP to go. And there might be other incentives like this – i.e. to add or drop features to PHP, or avoid using certain constructs and features, for the sole reason of making it more compile-able. Now, there's nothing wrong with being compiler-friendly, but I don't think for a language like PHP it should be the primary motivation.
Re-reading these notes I realized some of it might give an impression that I dislike the technology. It is absolutely not so – on the contrary, I think it is a great addition to the PHP world and I want again to congratulate the HipHop team on a huge achievement and thank them for making the PHP world better and more exciting. It would be very interesting to see how this develops and how and if the problems can be overcome and how this technology changes the PHP world and is changed by it.

I believe the main problem is debuging, but solutions will come up (I hope).

This is a great news regarding PHP.Everything about hiphop for php is discussed in detail .Good work.I would like to say about a PHP framework called as NOLOH.PHP 5.1+ is extended with the help of NOLOH. It works in any server configuration that supports PHP 5.1+.NOLOH is very safe and dependable. The NOLOH objects can be extended very easily. So it is completely flexible. The syntax is also easy to understand.Please check this frame work also it may be so useful for PHP developers

HipHop might be essential in certain part of a project where you know exactly what you are doing while accepting certain compromise in the way you will code re-suable modules. But I don't think it is yet to be a turning point in the PHP world. May be in some 2 or 3 years' time, it can take a whole new dimension with a new angle; exposing it to the world might actually put more insights into developing it to something which the initial team might not have thought of.
I agree with the Portability part.

With draft day nearing, like everyone else, I am dying to see who the Bills pick. It's one of my favorite days/weekends of the year. Heck, I even got excited when we drafted Justin Geisinger. Whatever happened to that dude? Anyway, after reading many of the mock drafts, it seems like there's consensus that OLB and CB are the top needs. But, I see a couple other sore spots that I'd like to steer the conversation toward.
Last year's defense was like one of those hand-held plastic toys I had as a kid where you move the numbered tiles around until you get them in the right order. We had safeties playing linebacker, ends playing tackle; guys moving all over. And, with the switch back to a 4-3, there will be even more juggling this year. Here's how I see the line-up roughly shaking out if the season were to start today. And, I will grade each group on a scale of 1-10 (1=we must address this mess; 10= simply awesome).
Defensive Ends:
Starters: M. Williams, Kelsay/ Anderson
Reserves: Carrington (I believe he could be a Mario-like player), Merriman.
GRADE: 8.5 (deep and high quality)
Defensive Tackles:
Starters: Dareus, K. Williams (coming back from injury)
Reserves: Spencer Johnson (seems more like a big body in the middle than a pass rushing end or OLB), Troup (who I think is vulnerable to get cut), Heard (who I don't know enough about).
GRADE: 7.5 (very good starters, then a drop-off)
Starter: Sheppard
Reserve: C. White (wasn't he drafted as a MLB?), anyone else?
GRADE: 7 (promising, young, lacking depth. This position wouldn't be helped much by drafting another young guy)
Starter: Morrison
Reserves: Scott, Moats (he seems fluid enough to cover TEs).
GRADE: 6.5 (I don't know a lot about Morrison, but this position looks dodgy)
Starter: Barnett
Reserve: Batten (Moats here, too)
GRADE: 8 (very good starter, decent back ups).
Starters: Florence, McGhee
Reserves: McKelvin, A. Williams, Rogers.
GRADE: 7.5 (I guess I like this group more than most Rumblers. I trust McGhee to come back healthy and hungry; Florence is scrappy; A. Williams has a ton of athletic upside; Rogers held his own; and McKelvin is gonna make the team- probably as a big part of the return game)
Starters: Byrd, Wilson
Reserve: Scott (Am I missing someone? +++Searcy - thanks trufflepig)
GRADE: 7.75 (good/very good players)
That's 24 players. Room for one more draftee before cutting some familiar names. Already, I dropped Dwan Edwards (because as an 8 year vet, his production is going to diminish soon, and his salary is high). So, to finish my original point, I see the NEED SPOTS as follows
2. MLB (but probably not a draft need)
+++ Error: Sorry fellas, I forgot about Da'Norris Searcy as a safety. Therefore, my original conclusion about safety being a higher need than CB this season doesn't stand up.

I am one of about a billion football fans who does believe that Andrew Luck is the real deal, a sure fire franchise QB, and possibly the best pro prospect to come out of college since Peyton Manning. I don't quite put him up there with John Elway, because frankly, real Bronco fans just don't do that. But he is good. Hellagood. So good that we may see some unusual, how should I say ... "maneuvering" amongst teams obviously not going anywhere this season to position themselves with a chance to land him. So without further ado, the current Suck for Luck Top 5:
5. Kansas City Chiefs -After jumping out to a commanding lead in the SFL race in weeks 1 and 2, the Chiefs seemingly forgot that Matt Cassell (4th worst QB rating in the league) is their QB and decided to become competitive. Allowing the Vikings to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Arrowhead yesterday should be the final nail in Todd Haley's coaching coffin, sending the Chiefs spiralling upward to a 1-3 record and hurling them back into 5th place in the SFL sweepstakes.
4. Miami Dolphins -Imagine a fanbase screaming for, not against, Kyle Orton. Well, that is what we had in Miami during the preseason, and that couldn't be a sign of QB stability. And the 0-4 Dolphins are proving their fanbase, ummm, correct! Face it, this is a team that is so bad that none of Brandon Marshall's personalities cares for them.
3. St. Louis Rams -The Rams already have a top overall pick, and a player who many believed was already becoming a franchise QB, on their roster in Sam Bradford. They also hired a supposed offensive, or at least QB coaching, guru in the offseason in Josh McDaniels. Thus far this season, the Bradford/McDaniels union has taken an up and coming offense and turned it into a bad case of wtf happened? Bradford has the 3rd worst QB rating in the league, the Rams are a solid 0-4, and that beleaguered look on McD's face that we saw so often during his last year plus here is looking more and more permanent. How long before McD trades Bradford for some draft picks that he can then help to squander?
2. Indianapolis Colts -The Manningless Colts should obtain 0-4 tonight in Tampa, and even their owner isn't sure about the script he is reading on Manning's possible return. If the Colts are still winless in December, Manning won't return. Not with a chance to be a rare team with back-to-back franchise QBs. "Integrity schmegrity" should be posted on their front office walls.
1. Minnesota Vikings -Not everyone thought that Donovan McNab was done. Well, not everyone was correct. He is done, the Vikings inexplicably McDanielsed their top pick in this past draft on a complete reach of a QB, and they staked a strong claim to number 1 in the SFL chase with a loss to the lowly Chiefs yesterday. At 0-4 they are the current leaders in the Luck limbo dance. Don't be surprised to see mystery ailments to stud RB Adrian Peterson before too long, as he may be the only thing standing, or in his case running, in the way of that number one overall pick.
