New Sections of US 119 Open Wednesday
Date of News Release: 12/05/2006
PIKE COUNTY - The long-awaited opening of four new sections of US 119 in Pike County will happen at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, December 6 - day after tomorrow.
This means that motorists traveling from Pikeville toward Johns Creek and South Williamson will be able to go from the traffic signals at the top of Town Mountain Road (end of Buckley's Creek) through Burning Fork, over Raccoon Creek, over Winns Branch, and over Johns Creek (KY 194) before they exit the four-lane.
People traveling from South Williamson and Belfry toward Pikeville will be able to get on the new four-lane sections at the intersection of KY 194 at Meta.
"Everyone needs to use more caution than usual until they get used to the new road, especially at the Johns Creek interchange," said Danl Hall, Executive Director of Highway District 12. "There is an abrupt stop on KY 194 before the left turn onto the on ramp. Likewise, there is an abrupt stop at the end of the off-ramp as you exit the four-lane and get back on KY 194 to turn left toward Old US 119."
In addition, Hall cautioned that the speed limit on the new sections is 55 miles per hour. "It is tempting, we know, to exceed the maximum allowable speed," Hall said, "but people need to know that KVE and KSP officers will be patrolling this area. More than half of the traffic accidents and fatal injury accidents in our district are due in part to excessive speed. We want this new section of four-lane roadway to provide a more safe and timely route than the old two-lane road people have traveled for years. It will only be safer if motorists respect the speed limit and contain their urge to go more than 55 miles an hour."
Message boards with travelers' advisories will be posted at Burning Fork and at Johns Creek. There are no exits at Raccoon or Winns Branch.
"The basic story here," Hall said, "is this: The road will be open. The speed limit is 55. You can't get off at Raccoon or Winn's Branch. And we urge everyone to be safe out there!"

Guests included Sting and Vin Diesel, while U2 singer Bono gave the bride away and reportedly sang at the ceremony. Also, "American Beauty" director Sam Mendes, 37, married "Titanic" star Kate Winslet, 27, "in late May in a very small ceremony whilst on holiday in the West Indies," said their publicist. "Present were Kate Winslet's (2-1/2-year-old) daughter, Mia, and three close friends."

This article, on Muslims and Christians is interesting for two reasons. The first is that the Washington Post didn't publish it, even though it was submitted by a regular correspondent of the times. The second is because it is… interesting.
Readers of KenNelson.com know that I'm a public advocate of limiting the inroads Islam makes into the United States via legal immigration. I don't think we should let them in.
3. Because Jesus was a failure and Muhammad a success, Christians from the start learned how to be a minority religion and survived Jesus' failure only by the fact that he didn't stay dead. Christians don't know how to behave when they are in power (and, of course, have sometimes abused their power). But Islam was, from its start, majority-minded; and Muslims don't know how to behave when they are not in power: it enrages them, makes them thin-skinned to "blasphemy," drives them to achieve power and impose sharia, even motivates some of them to martyr-suicide in killing any they consider enemies of Allah.
I don't come to this belief out of support pro or con as to the merits of any particular faith's tenants. I'm more practical than that. Where ever Muslims are permitted to congregate, trouble follows if they aren't in charge. End of story.
I say… don't let that happen here. This doesn't mean trampling the rights of Muslims that live here, or of citizens who happen to choose that faith. But no religion has a RIGHT to immigrate here, and we have the RIGHT to deny entry into this country for any reason. I suggest we exercise that right vigorously and with an eye towards our countries stability and safety.

An Oakton resident plans to open three childrens' gyms in Northern Virginia.
Christie Talbot, of the Bridges of Oakton neighborhood, recently signed a development agreement to create three Great Play gyms in Northern Virginia. Great Play will offer physical education, sports skill and motor skill classes for kids starting at six months through fifth grade.
Oakton resident Christie Talbot recently signed a development agreement for three Great Play gyms in the Fairfax County and Ashburn territories, and plans to sign a lease for her first location in early 2013. The unique gym concept will offer fun-filled motor skill, sports skill and physical education classes for children ages six months through fifth grade.
"When I started to research franchise opportunities, I had it narrowed down to
fitness or children related activities due to my interests," Talbot said. "I was looking for something that I could feel passionate about and smile at the end of the work day. When I came across Great Play, it was a perfect match."
This will be Talbot's first business endeavor. Before this plan she worked in the finance industry, completing budgeting work, business analysis and financial systems. Owning her own business will allow her more flexibility in raising her two young kids, Talbot said.
"The timing actually worked out incredibly well, all things considered," Talbot said. "My career was successful and lucrative, but after a while I realized I wanted to find a new level of personal fulfillment."
She's keeping Oakton in mind as she researches leasing oppotunities in Fairfax County and Ashburn. Talbot intends to sign her first lease in early 2013.
Great Play, a national franchise with locations in Fredericksburg and outside Virginia, boasts a physical education curriculum that uses computer technoloy, image projection, sensors and directional sound inside its Interactive Arena. The gyms are also open to sport skills work and dance.
The franchise was ranked 386 in Entrepreneur magazine's "Franchise 500."

Tammy Duckworth—who lost both her legs while piloting a Black Hawk helicopter during a combat mission in Iraq in 2004—will deliver a free speech Sept. 27 at Santa Monica College.
Now a Congressional candidate in Illinois, she recounted the story of the assault before a national audience at the Democratic National Convention.
She will speak at 11:15 a.m. Sept. 27 in the Theatre Arts Main Stage on the Santa Monica College main campus. Her talk is titled, "Our Next Mission."
In a statement, Superintendent Chui Tsang said the lieutenant colonel is an "inspiration for the nation" and "an important voice" for veterans, who now number 600 at the college.
"Lt. Colonel Duckworth's talk will dovetail beautifully with our college's new GRIT initiative, which seeks to instill in students growth, resilience, integrity and tenacity," he said.
A former assistant secretary in the Veterans Affairs department and former director of Illinois' Department of Veterans Affairs, she ran unsuccessfully for the House in 2006. She continues to drill as a lieutenant colonel in the Illinois Army National Guard.
For information about her speech at Santa Monica College, call (310) 434-4303.

History buffs will appreciate Fairfax, once caught between Union and Confederate forces. Monuments to this Civil War heritage include the Fairfax Museum, the Confederate Cemetery, and the Blenheim estate, where stationed Union soldiers wrote poetry on the walls. Nearby, the National Parks Service preserves the Manassas National Battlefield, the site of the Civil War's first major land battle.

Tanney, Julia (2005) Une Cartographie des Concepts Mentaux'. In: La Notion d'Esprit (The Concept of Mind). Payot, Paris, France, pp. 7-70. (The full text of this publication is not available from this repository)
|The full text of this publication is not available from this repository. (Contact us about this Publication)
|Official URL
Gilbert Ryle's The Concept of Mind was published over 50 years ago to wide acclaim, but his legacy has been tempered because of important misconceptions, including a) that contemporary philosophy has sufficiently absorbed what is valuable about his contribution; b) that he is responsible for propounding a version of philosophical behaviourism; and c) that Ryle travels down a substantially different philosophical track from that of Wittgenstein. This critical introduction sets out to overturn these misconceptions. It is extremely rare for a UK-based philosopher to be invited to produce a critical introduction for a book published (in French) in France. The French publication has led to a) an invitation to produce an entry for Ryle for Stanford's (on-line) Encyclopaedia of Philosophy, b) an AHRC research leave award to turn the introduction into a (English) book; an invitation to give lectures on the book at the Université de Picardie. The English version of the critical has received warm praise from a number of philosophers, including Cora Diamond.

Ideal Size:
Up to 20. Divide larger groups.
Use for:Introductions in the classroom or at a meeting, to understand what every participant is expecting to learn from the class or gathering.
Time Needed:
15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the group.
Materials Needed:
A flip chart or white board, and markers.
Write Expectations at the top of a flip chart or white board.
When it's time for students to introduce themselves, explain that expectations are powerful, and that understanding them is key to the success of any class. Tell the group that you would like them to:
- Introduce themselves
- Share their expectations of the class
- Add a wild prediction of the best possible outcome should their expectations be met. Ask them to be as specific as possible, and encourage silliness or fun if you want.
Hi, my name is Deb, and I'm expecting to learn how to handle difficult or challenging people, and my wildest expectation is that if I knew how to do that, nobody would ever get under my skin again. Ever.
State your objectives of the course, review the list of expectations the group made, and explain whether or not, and why, if not, their expectations will or won't be covered in the course.

Y: The Last Man Movie Not Dead!
Y: The Last Man is a 60 issue comic book story created by Brian K. Vaughn and Pia Guerra that tells the story of a young man named Yorick Brown who, along with his pet capuchin monkey Ampersand, become the sole male survivors of a mysterious plague that wipes out the entire male population. Yorick and Ampersand then embark on a journey to find his girlfriend Beth and figure out why he and Ampersand are the only Y chromosomed survivors.
I personally loved Vaughn and Guerra's epic story and am glad to hear that it will be making its way to the big screen. But this isn't a story that can be told in just one movie. This is a pretty epic story that needs at least two movies to be told properly. I can't wait to start seeing what the cast is going to look like (and NO to SHIA LABEOUF as Yorick Brown!).

Jet Set Radio HD is the Same as the Original Dreamcast Version... Mostly
Jet Set Radio HD will feature almost everything from the original Dreamcast release with a few changes: You can now control the camera with the right stick, JSR HD runs at 60 FPS (YES!), and most of the music tracks from the original game will return. Songs like Rob Zombie's "Dragula" and Jurassic 5's "Improvise" will not return in this version, most likely because of licensing issues.

Shinji Mikami Talks About Tango and Their New Game
- The game will be expected to release on 2013.
- Tango currently has 65 employees and may get up to 100.
- Mikami expects it to be the largest staff he has ever worked with on a game.
- He would like to have two teams eventually. A smaller team to work on smaller/more expiremental projects to help train staff.
- They are using an external engine that has been heavily modified to the point that its close to being an internal engine.
- Mikami would like his first game to sell 500K-1 million copies in Japan. For reference, only ten PS3 titles have ever sold over 500K copies in Japan, and only one has sold over a million.
Oh man, he's not directing the game?! He's just an exectuive producer. Oh well, anything this man touches will still be the best game ever.
Epic VP: "I'd Be Shocked if Wii U Doesn't Do Well"
Epic VP Mark Rein will be shocked if the Wii U isn't a hit for Nintendo when it launches later this year.Source: Eurogamer
Speaking to Eurogamer at GDC in San Francisco last week, Rein argued that parents are ready to upgrade their kid's Wii to Nintendo's new system.
"I like the Wii U. I think E3 will be a big eye-opener for people," he predicted.
"I played Batman: Arkham City on the Wii U and they are doing some really cool stuff with the controller.
"Do you remember the Zelda demo they had on it? Would you not buy a Wii U just to play that? Of course you would. That's what Nintendo is all about. Their hardware is the software delivery service for their great content. That Zelda demo was gorgeous and we can do even more than that with Unreal Engine 3. I think it will do great."
Rein added that Nintendo's brand recognition and beloved IP should see it fly off shelves, though he suggested that it might have been quicker off the mark with getting the machine to stores.
"It's a great brand that a lot of parents really trust and they're probably ready to buy their kids an HD Wii that does that much more than just being an HD Wii.
"I'd love it if they'd done it last year, but I'm excited for them to do it this year. I'd be shocked if it doesn't do well.
"Did you play that Battle Mii game? Two players would play with a Wii Remote and Nunchuk and one would play with the Wii U controller?
"I would buy a Wii U to play that game in a heartbeat. And I hope people make those kind of games with our technology. I think we've yet to really see what the Wii U can do and I think at E3 this year they're going to shock us."
Earlier this year Nintendo president Satoru Iwata suggested that, more than ever, the company will be looking to partner with third parties when developing high-spec core games that fall outside of its traditional comfort zone.
Might Epic step up to the plate with a new IP for the system, a la Gears of War on the Xbox 360?
"If I had 10 development teams I'd make a game for every single platform and make that the special game for that platform," replied Rein.
"If you're the special game on that platform you do really, really well. Gears was one of the special ones on Xbox 360. Infinity Blade is a special game on the iPhone and iPad. Shadow Complex was a special game on Xbox Live Arcade.
"But we don't have 10 development teams so it's just a matter of picking and choosing what we do and doing the best thing we can for the idea that we have."
Epic currently has two titles in development: Infinity Blade: Dungeons for iOS and Fortnite for as-yet unconfirmed platforms.
Sounds like some people have already played a couple of games on the Wii U at the Game Developers Conference. The Unreal Engine 4 is not mentioned in this article. They're obviously not allowed to talk about it yet.
Sonic 4 Team Has No Plans for Future Episodes
"We are looking forward to hearing the feedback from the users for Episode 2, but we are currently not planning to release another episode," he told Digital Spy.Long time Sonic fans were disappointed on how Sonic 4: Episode 1 was made. Episode 2 was completely developed from scratch, using an all new graphics and physics engine and hopefully the levels are better designed, completely original and not recycled from older games.
Iizuka added: "We just want to see how the users accept this episode."

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Could Have Featured Cameos From Other Nintendo Franchises
Koichi Hayashida, Super Mario Galaxy 2 director, had an idea of having characters from other Nintendo franchises appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2 but the idea was shot down by Shigeru Miyamoto.
"One of the early proposals that we discussed for Super Mario Galaxy 2 was the possibility of including characters from other [Nintendo] franchises," Hayashida explained through his translator. "For example, you might have Donkey Kong or Pikmin show up."
"We presented this to Mr. Miyamoto, but he came down pretty hard, saying that there has to be a functional reason to include characters of a certain type in a game. He went to specify precisely why the Pikmin wouldn't work."
"In the Pikmin games, you'll notice that all the Pikmin are very thin — tall and narrow for their frame," Hayashida explained. "Mario enemies tend to be on the short and squat side and there's a functional reason for that. They're easier to stomp on. They're lower so you can get above them and broader so you can land on them. In that sense, Pikmin are just not well suited for the Mario universe."
Miyamoto's dismissal forced the Mario Galaxy 2 team to "focus on the functional again."
I agree with Miyamoto's decision. I don't want them to shoe-horn cameos for the sake of having cameos. It is not a good idea.

Spring Season Anime Preview: Eureka Seven AO
Coming soon to Japan (and therefore the internet) is Eureka Seven AO. This series is a sequel to the original Eureka Seven as opposed to the lukewarmly-received movie. It stars the child of former protagonists Renton and Eureka, yet there is no knowledge of either character returning. Thus far no website has picked up streaming rights but I'd put money that Crunchyroll will grab it soon. The sky surfing robots return this April.

Kiefer Sutherland Offered the Role of Robin in Batman '89?! It's True!
I'd just finished Stand By Me and Young Guns about the time that Warner Bros. were making the first Batman film with Michael Keaton, and I got a call which asked me if I would be interested in playing Robin," Sutherland said in an interviewing promoting his new Fox series. "I was like: 'As in Robin with tights? No!' I didn't realise they were going to make the coolest movie ever! They didn't have a Robin in the end, but I was only 19, so my agent could have helped me out a bit on that one.
We know that Kiefer Sutherland was one of the biggest stars of the 80s with roles in movies like The Lost Boys, Young Guns and Stand By Me, so the thought of having him in a big time movie like Batman is no surprise. But let's just be glad that things stayed the way they did and Robin The Boy Wonder was excluded from the movie. A bleach blonde mullet headed Robin in green tights might not have been the best move. So thanks for saying "No" Kiefer-- although it really would have been interesting to have seen.

You may wonder why clinicians advocate for an early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. After all, might that just result in a longer time for people to experience feelings of hopelessness and grief?
If there was nothing that could be done in response to a diagnosis of Alzheimer's, many might advocate for delaying diagnosis for as long as possible. But there are actually many reasons to see your physician earlier, rather than later, if you or your loved one is experiencing symptoms of early dementia.
12 Benefits of an Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer's
- Rule Out Reversible and Treatable Causes of Dementia
There are multiple conditions besides Alzheimer's that can share some of the same characteristics, some of which are treatable — and even reversible. And often, the earlier they're identified and treated, the better the outcome. These can include vitamin B12 deficiency, normal pressure hydrocephalus, delirium and thyroid problems.
- More Opportunities to Participate in Clinical Trials
Did you know that many clinical trials are only open to people in the early stages of Alzheimer's? Some require that the person with the dementia be able to agree to participate and demonstrate an understanding of the clinical trial. Several medications being tested target those who are in the early stages. An early diagnosis allows you to be eligible for more clinical trials, and to be more likely to benefit from the clinical trial drug.
- Medications Are Often More Effective in Early Alzheimer's
In general, the medications that are already approved by the FDA are the most helpful early in the disease process. This is because they seem to aim at maintaining current functioning, and thus slowing the disease process, rather than reversing the symptoms. Some people do respond quite well and report a significant improvement when on medications, while others show negligible change.
- Non-Drug Interventions Can Also Delay and Slow Progression
There is some evidence that other interventions besides medication can help slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This can include physical exercise, mental exercise, meaningful activities and more.
- Time to Plan for Medical and Financial Decisions
A diagnosis while still in the early stages can allow the person with dementia to participate in the decisions about his care and treatment, which can include things like designating a medical power of attorney and a financial power of attorney; writing out a living will in which medical care choices, such as a do not resuscitate order, can be specified; and discussing the person's options and preferences, such as home health care and care facilities.
- Provides an Answer
Feelings after a diagnosis of Alzheimer's can vary significantly. Some people find that, despite the difficulty of hearing this diagnosis, knowing a name for the symptoms they've been experiencing is helpful.
- Provides Time to Record Memories
With a progressive disease such as Alzheimer's, some people choose to be intentional about recording meaningful memories of the person with dementia. There are many ways to do this, including writing, photos, videos and more. These memories can serve as a wonderful way to cherish your loved one, share their personality and story with caregivers, and trigger recollections as you talk with your family member.
- Offers the Caregiver More Understanding and Patience
Some family members have expressed feelings of guilt after a diagnosis because they've been irritated, frustrated or short-tempered with their loved one, not knowing that her forgetfulness or behaviors were not intentional. An early diagnosis has the potential to help the caregiver understand early on how best to understand and help the family member.
- Qualifying for Disability if You're Still Working
If you have early onset Alzheimer's and are still working, you might be able to qualify for disability benefits if you become unable to work.
- Improve Safety
An early diagnosis can provide you with time to identify and address safety concerns. These can include driving, errors in medication administration, wandering and risks in the home.
- Become Informed about What to Expect
For both the person with Alzheimer's and her family members, there's a benefit to knowing what you can expect as the disease progresses. Learning about the stages of Alzheimer's might be difficult at times, but it's generally helpful to know what's typical, and how you might be able to plan for those changes.
- Benefits from Support Groups
Support groups can provide encouragement and education, both for the person living with dementia and for the caregiver. People with Alzheimer's and their family members can often feel isolated, and are at risk for depression. Connecting with others through support groups can allow people to share specific situations and suggestions, and learn how others cope with the challenges of Alzheimer's.

Groundbreaking for a long-planned hospital in Harnett County is expected to take place early next year thanks to a $38 million loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The 50-bed hospital on U.S. 421 in Lillington, about 30 miles south of Raleigh, is expected to employ about 100 workers when it opens and about 300 employees when fully operational. The target opening date for the not-yet-named hospital is mid-2012, spokeswoman Jennifer Franklin said.
The hospital, the second in Harnett County, received the go-ahead from state regulators in 2008.
Groundbreakings for the hospital previously had been scheduled for October 2009 and in May. They were postponed because of delays in getting funding.
The economic downturn made it challenging to obtain the money "at a reasonable rate," Franklin said.
The most recent government funding for the acute care hospital in Lillington was announced Wednesday by U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge, who helped secure the loan. Etheridge, a Lillington Democrat, also helped the hospital obtain a $25 million USDA loan in March 2009.
"This hospital will be a linchpin of economic development and quality health care in the region for decades to come," Etheridge said in a prepared statement.
The hospital will be part of the Harnett Health System, which also owns the county's other hospital: the 101-bed Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital in Dunn. It's one of a number of new hospitals or hospital expansions under way across the Triangle.
WakeMed, Wake County's largest hospital system, manages Harnett Health System.
WakeMed CEO Bill Atkinson said the new hospital will cater to an underserved area that includes, in Harnett County, Campbell University and that extends to the area surrounding Fort Bragg in neighboring Cumberland County.
"It should make a big difference in the quality of life for [the] community," he said.
Atkinson envisions the hospital attracting physicians who have their own practices as well.
"I think you will see specialists who aren't currently in the community ... will now come from other locations," he said. "It will create a medical neighborhood."
In addition to covering the $53 million cost of the hospital, the two USDA loans will cover an upgrade of the information technology system at Betsy Johnson, which will serve both hospitals.

A man has been arrested in connection with the killing of a Tempe woman. Police arrested 33-year-old Michael Lee Franklin Jr. of Tempe in connection with the death of 64-year-old Bonnie Raudman.
Police responded after a family friend found Raudman dead inside her residence on Sept. 30th. The cause of death has been identified as blunt and sharp force injuries of the neck.
Raudman's car, a 2010 blue/grey Hyundai Elantra, was missing from the garage. That vehicle was later recovered by detectives approximately one mile away from the victim's home.
Several items were removed from the home during the incident which included two replica pistols and display plaques. Those items were located in a dumpster not far from the victim's home.
Detectives and technicians processed recovered property and found latent fingerprints that matched Franklin's. Detectives served a search warrant on Franklin's home Wednesday and Franklin was taken into custody.
Police say during a post arrest interview, Franklin admitted to several aspects of the crime including being in the home, taking the victim to an ATM to withdraw money, and removing property from the home. Franklin denied hurting Raudman while he was in the home.
Franklin was booked into Tempe City Jail and is currently facing charges of suspicion of first degree murder, kidnapping and first degree burglary.

Our family, plus a couple of extra teenagers, went on the most fabulous adventures while staying at the Westwind Club. We asked about parasailing and one hour later we left from the beach at our resort on an exhilarating ride up into the air...we could see most of the island from way up there...There is so much to do on Nassau. It is so easy to travel around the island either by taxi or public transportation - a jitney bus. Downtown has great shopping and restaurants as well as Pirates of Nassau (a pirate museum) were we had the most amusing pictures with "arrrrr" pirate friend. We look forward to other adventures on Nassau.

Hi Bazz093 (Bazz)
Hi 200t (richard)
Hi star (max)
to you all.
I am an American doing most of the tech coordination without the title, at an International School in Kazakhstan. I translate geek to English so the office manager can translate it to Russian for the techs. Most of the times the techs and I understand each other. A two language repair request log book is always a fun. My first computer was a membrane keyboard Timex Sinclair with a tape drive, I once bragged about having dual 5.25" floppy drives on my PC. I wrote a school registrar database on an Apple IIe, . . . you get the picture of how deep the geek goes in me. Of course being an American who plays and loves football (soccer) I was already seen as a geek by my neckless classmates growing up anyway.
I am from Minnesota quite near the birthplace of Spam and the Spam Museum!

San Antonio's only 20-18 when they don't hit 7 3's. But this means if they do hit 7 they're 36-8.
But that's not all.
San Antonio is 40-7 when they get 21 assists. If they get less than 21, they're 16-19.
But there's more.
If San Antonio gets their optimal game and have both 7 3s and 21 assists they're 30-4. If they get neither 7 3s nor 21 assists, they're 10-15. If they get 21 assists but not 7 3's they're 10-3. If they get 7 3's but not 21 assists, they're 6-4.
Just a little more.
So they break down is like this.
- 41.4% of the time, SA gets 21 ast. and 7 3s and they win 88.2% of those games.
- 15.9% of the time, SA gets 21 ast but not 7 3s. They still win 76.9% of these games.
- 12.2% of the time, SA gets 7 3's but not 21. They win 60% of these games.
- 30.4% of the time, SA gets neither. They win 40% of these games.
- Of all games when SA does not get both 21 and 7
And a little bit more
- SA can only get 21 assists 57.3% of all games . And they can only 21 assists without 7 3s in 27.7% of those games.
- SA can only 7 3s in 53.6% of all games. It can only get 7 3s without 21 assists in 22.7% of those games.
The Spurs 3's, assists, and wins are all tied together. When they are passing the ball well to their three point shooters (thus 21 and 7), they're pretty much unstoppable. They're also good (though not as good) when they can just do one of the two, but it's rare that they do only one of the two (a little less than 3 out of ten games). This means that if you can stop one, you can likely stop the other.
Our perimeter players have to stay at home on the Spurs 3 pt. shooters. The Spurs offense heavily depends on the three pointer. In fact, only a few teams take more threes per FGA than the Spurs. The Suns do. But unlike the Spurs, when they Suns don't get their median assists (27) and their median threes (9), they still play well (15-8). This is because we have several players who can score without the three (Nash, STAT, Shaq, Diaw, Barbosa, Hill, Giricek) but the Spurs have only their big three.
Thus the Spurs are extremely vulnerable if they lose the three point shot. And judging by their individual stats, it seems they likely get many of their three's from Duncan double teams and Parker/Ginobili kick outs, since those three players give out almost all of the Spurs assists.
So as long as we do not double team and only rotate our big men to a driving Parker/Ginobili, Udoka, Bowen, and Finley (and Barry or Horry if they play) will be useless (all three depend almost entirely on threes for points).
Thus not only will Parker, Duncan, and Ginobili all have to have solid games, at least two of them will need outstanding games. This is unlikely, and that is why the Spurs lose most games in which they cannot dish out to their spot up shooters.
Arriba Soles!

School district leaders in Robertson County are trying to figure out how a classroom full of four-year-olds saw a pornographic image pop up on a projector during class Thursday.
The district's director, Daniel Whitlow, told Nashville's News 2 the incident happened in a pre-K classroom at Jo Byrns Elementary School while a teacher was showing students a video of Santa feeding reindeer.
Whitlow said the video was over and the image "popped up" as they teacher attempted to go to another Web site.
She reportedly typed "reindeer art" into Google and clicked on one of the links that came up. When she realized it was not what she was looking for, she tried the close the site. The image of a naked woman popped up as she did.
A woman with a family member in the classroom told Nashville's News 2 the little boy came home from school and said he had seen a naked woman on the screen inappropriately touching her private parts.
"These are four year old little angels that are supposed to be protected and we send them to pre-K to the pre school at the elementary and they see this?" asked the woman.
Many Robertson County parents are concerned over Internet safety, including Heather White.
"I have a lot of concerns," said White. "I don't think kids should be able to see that kind of stuff. I don't think it's safe, because the teachers can access whatever they want and that means the kids probably can too."
Director Whitlow said a letter detailing what happened was sent home with students Friday.
He said there were about 20 kids in the classroom and the teacher immediately reported the incident.
She didn't do anything on purpose and no disciplinary action was taken, Whitlow said.
He added that the district would also be looking into Internet filters that are supposedly in place to filter inappropriate content on county school Web sites.
"It breaks my heart," said Audrey Rodriguez, who has two children in Robertson County Schools. "Can you imagine your four year old coming home and saying 'I saw this, what does that mean?'"
In the letter, Director Whitlow told parents, "We certainly regret this situation occurred in your child's classroom. As always, a safe and healthy learning environment is a top priority and we will work diligently to ensure there is no reoccurrence."
Jo Byrns Elementary School is located in Cedar Hill, about 30 miles north of Nashville.

Woodland named after former historian
4:00pm Wednesday 8th August 2007 in News
AN area of woodland in Penn is to be named after one of the village's most famous and enigmatic residents.
Sir Oliver Millar, an acclaimed art historian and former surveyor of the Queen's pictures, left the three quarters of an acre site off Elm Road to the residents' society to look after.
Sir Oliver was a well known face in and around the village and had lived in nearby Penn for 49 years - first in Yonder Lodge in Elm Road and later in Rays Lane.
He died after suffering a heart attack in May aged 84 and since then the executors of his estate have been sorting out his land. They approached the society three weeks ago and asked them if they would be prepared to take on part of it.

don't recall her name, or even if i ever got it. it was almost 20 years ago.
it reminded me a little of the bar in that charlie daniels song "Uneasy Rider", the dew drop inn.
"...this old drunk chick and a feller with green teeth." as the song goes.July 1, 2010 at 1:27 p.m.
Sounds the infamous Wicked Wanda was there that night holein 1.July 1, 2010 at 12:40 p.m.
i once wrote a song about hurricane junction, when it was a "very rough place."
it was inspired after a night of drinking at said bar with some interesting characters. a drunk chick with a black eye, her dude wearing a corona muscle shirt and jeans tucked in to his brand new white shrimp boots, an old dude in cover-alls with no shirt or shoes, an old drunk hag who gave everyone in the bar a demonstration of her talents on a bananna. not to mention the biker tending bar and a few other poc types. good times.
i was sad to see it closed for awhile, but happy it's back open. i'll have to make a stop next time in poc.July 1, 2010 at 11:11 a.m.
Nice article, I enjoyed it.July 1, 2010 at 8:18 a.m.

The Whippet Inn Steak and Alehouse is a sympathetically restored Victorian pub with quirky modern twist, giving it an understated decadence. This new addition to the York restaurant scene is hidden away on Yorkメs North Street and celebrates the best in British food and drink. The Whippet Innメs main aim is to get the best food produce they can find in Yorkshire and then pair it with real ales, lagers, spirits and wines from around Great Britain. A fine example of this is their air dried on the bone 40 day aged Yorkshire beef from Ripon.

Snowy Owls and Colorado Ecology
If you're a bird enthusiast, you're probably giddy with excitement due to the many recent sightings of snowy owls in the lower 48. Thousands of snow-white birds, which stand two feet tall with five-foot wingspans have been spotted from coast to coast and they are a spectacular sight to see.
This winter, Colorado, along with other states throughout the US, has been experiencing an unprecedented influx of wintry white snowy owls. A small number of snowy owls migrate south from the arctic each year, but this large-scale event, called an irruption, is causing quite the stir among scientists and nature lovers alike.
Why have they come all this way in such large numbers? Why are farmlands their habitat of choice? Why do they come to Colorado in the winter and not at other times of the year? These are the types of questions ecologists ask. Reasonable explanations focus on resource availability, or the lack thereof, in their Arctic homes.
It may seem a stretch, but similar types of ecological questions can be applied to gardening in Colorado.
Ecology seeks to understand the relationship between organisms to their environment and to each other. Successful gardening involves understanding and applying these very principles.

NEW ORLEANS - A taxicab inspector surrendered to police Friday after a warrant for his arrest on a state simple battery charge was issued earlier this week.
Wilton Joiner is accused of roughing up a French Quarter tour guide Nov. 9 as she was leading a group on Royal Street.
Haunted History tour guide Wendy Bosma said she suffered bruises at the hands of Joiner during a dispute over whether she was following the rules. The city suspended Joiner without pay while the investigation continues.
The incident was caught on amateur video.
An attorney said a federal civil rights violations lawsuit and a civil suit will be filed on Bosma's behalf.

Making pastry is a skill, but one that's well worth mastering. If you know how to make good pie and tart crusts, you can get as creative as possible making sweet and savory dishes. Pot pie, quiche, fruit pies, chocolate tarts… the sky's the limit. A big key to success at making pastry is having the right tools. This list of pastry tools will help you become a pro at making the flakiest pies and most tender tarts!
Dough Scraper/Bench Knife
A dough scraper, or bench knife as they're often called, is handy for unsticking pastry from a surface, dividing chunks of dough, scraping clean a work surface or a rolling pin, or even transferring chopped foods from a cutting board to a bowl or pan. This stainless steel dough scraper, from Sur La Table, has a comfortable rolled handle and handy rulers so you can easily check the size of your rolled-out crust.
Pastry Blender
A pastry blender (or pastry cutter) lets you easily blend butter or shortening into flour. This sturdy version, discovered by the baking experts at King Arthur Flour, has diamond-shaped stainless steel blades that won't bend even with the most vigorous use, and a comfortable molded plastic handle.
Rolling Pin
Many professional bakers swear by the simple design of a handle-free rolling pin for better control and more power, especially when rolling out stiff chilled dough. This smooth maple pin, made by Vic Firth, is 2 inches in diameter and 19.5 inches long.
Pie Shield
If your beautifully crimped crust tends to burn before the filling's finished cooking, covering the edges with a pie shield can help. This lightweight nonstick pie shield from King Arthur Flour fits on a 9-inch pie and has a cute embossed fruit design.
Pyrex Pie Pan
This ovenproof glass pie plate browns crusts perfectly - and you'll be able to monitor its progress through the transparent glass. The glass retains heat well, in fact, you might need to lower your oven temperature by 25˚F to avoid overbrowning. A 9-inch pie plate is the standard size. Bright-red silicone strips add a colorful accent and also serve as easy-to-grip handles.
Round Tart Pan
This classic tinned steel tart pan has a removable bottom and fluted sides to create a beautiful, professional-looking tart. Be sure to put this tart pan on a sheet pan before putting it in the oven so that you can remove it easily.
Pie Weight Chain
For blind baking - which means baking the pie crust or tart shell without a filling - a pie weight chain will keep the bottom of the pastry from puffing up as it bakes. Coil this 10-foot strand of stainless-steel beads in the bottom of the pie pan before baking for an evenly cooked and uniform tart or pie shell.

Chai [Junwu] [Chai Chengwen]:
[I] have received your telegram from the afternoon of [October] 17. Concerning the question of the Embassy's work in the future, the following is the reply:
(1) The focal point of the embassy's work is still keeping in contact with the North Korean government and following the North Korean government's actions. So the main force of the current personnel at Sineuiju should still be moved to Changseong. If there is not too much to do, one section can be withdrawn.
(2) A group of personnel can remain at Sineuiju solely for the handling of our entry and exit [document] processing.
(3) After General Peng [Dehuai's] arrival, Peng [Dehuai] and Kim [Il Sung] can set up mutual direct contact.
(4) Chai [Junwu] and Zhu [Guang] should remain at Xichuan and maintain necessary diplomatic contact with Premier Kim.

Is this name usable? MN suggestions?
I am compiling a girl name list and I had a few options sorted but then I suddenly came across a new name that I really like but am unsure about how usable it is.
The name is Icy.
I love the name Poet and I think Poet and Icy sound cute together. I would like middle name suggestions (so far I like Ophelia but am open to other suggestions) and opinions on the name Icy, thanks XEulalie (Ireland) Della

Is it usable: yes.
Will she get comments on her name: definitely.
Will people make jokes: probably.
To me it sounds very much like "I see".
Personally I'm not too fond of the name, as it is not a "word name" to me but only a word. However that's my opinion. Poet while not my style, I find it kind of pretty and way more usable - it's less "weird". However if you love the name Ophelia makes a great middle name (even though I'd like it better in the first name spot, it works).
What I like about the -y ending is that you can choose all the wonderful names ending in "a"for the middle position

BATON ROUGE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Iowa Governor Terry E Branstad and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal made a friendly wager on the Outback Bowl aimed at helping feed the hungry in Iowa and Louisiana.
The 2014 Outback Bowl featuring the University of Iowa Hawkeyes and the Louisiana State University Tigers will be played tomorrow in Tampa.
If the Iowa Hawkeyes beat the LSU Tigers, Governor Jindal will donate 100 pounds of Louisiana seafood to an Iowa food bank and another 100 pounds of Louisiana seafood to a Louisiana food bank. If the LSU Tigers beat the Iowa Hawkeyes, Governor Branstad will donate 100 pounds of Iowa pork to a Louisiana food bank and another 100 pounds of Iowa pork to an Iowa food bank.
"In the spirit of friendly competition, I'm pleased to join Governor Jindal in this friendly wager which aims to help feed the less fortunate in our states," said Branstad. "As a life-long Iowan and a graduate of the University of Iowa, I'm looking forward to watching the Hawkeyes compete against the Louisiana State University Tigers and bring home a victory at the Outback Bowl in Tampa."
"I am looking forward to a great game between the Tigers and the Hawkeyes, and I am thrilled to make this friendly wager with Governor Branstad to benefit the hungry in both states," said Jindal. "It is always a little sad to see the end of the college football season, but I am very proud of this LSU Tigers team and I know they will finish the season with a victory."

Like many, Manor High School Coach Sadd Jackson wanted to believe Lance Armstrong was telling the truth all those years when he defended himself saying he never used PED's.
While some are shocked and upset to find out what Armstrong was doing while winning his seven Tour de France titles, Coach Jackson will use Armstrong's situation as a teaching tool.
"Unfortunately, our society has created a monster in that winning is everything so to speak. Rather than teaching guys great character and having them understand doing things the right way. We teach our guys that winning is winning at all costs," Coach Jackson said.
Jackson says sometimes the cost of winning is greater than what it's actually worth.
"So we need to take a lesson from Lance Armstrong and all the other guys that's been caught up with this situation and understand there's more to athletics and sports than just winning. It's about building comrade and teaching character and building integrity in kids," he said.
"It's kind of hard on some people because you look at them like they had so much success using it. Even though we didn't know about it. But if you want to do it the right way you shouldn't use," said Manor Sophomore Defensive Back Patrick Sneed.
Some people look at Armstrong differently now. But Sophomore Defensive Back Zae Giles says Armstrong is human.
"I mean, he's a human being. Human beings make mistakes and do all the above. So, can't look at him in a bad way," Giles said.

Bottle #99 / 120 at the Rose Inn. Olde Hickory snifter. Bottle is almost 2 years old.
Pours a cloudy murky brown with a slight head. Smell is quite funky with the brett but you can tell it has mellowed out on the tartness just a bit even in the aroma. Flavor is also mellowed out but extremely funky. The brett is definitely more developed and cuts through the pedio. Not very sour here...probably would have had more of a lip puckering bite to it fresh but i dont think it was that sour to begin with. Body is a tad lacking... i think this might have been green mans first sour though im not positive. i definitely prefer the newer ones they have brewed since. overall solid.

It used to be simpler... a lot simpler. Football used to be an extra-curricular activity you played for fun at your school. Nobody went to college just to play football, and you certainly didn't choose your college based on it. But then it got 'popular', up to fanatical, and soon profitable! And they're off! In 1964, the NCAA instituted the Letter of Intent (LOI) concept, and its been an arms (and legs) race ever since. There are whole staffs who work on recruiting now, year round... watching tapes, compiling stats, traveling across the country to get that stud player who'll push your team over the top to victory (which of course means even more $).
Hopefully, somebody, with inside savvy on the nuts and bolts, will write an article on how its done. But not me, not now... just know that its being done... very well... by your FROGS brass. For now, I'm going to try to bring you up to date on who we're chasing, and what our chances are of catching them. I can't bare to list those who (ugh!) made the horrible mistake of picking another team. There's no way I can include a complete listing, but there are numerous publications devoted to that, as well as the big online 'gods' - rivals.com, scout.com, 247.com, espn.com, si.com. All have dozens of pages of any way you can think of to rank everyone. Sadly, I can't tie it all into our scholarship picture; I couldn't find that info, and apparently the FOW staff that I asked couldn't either (but I still love 'em... I may need body parts someday). But we do know we have 18 graduating seniors, so we need to find about that many replacements. We already have 10 verbal commits (posted elsewhere on FOW), so look for us to add 5-10 more.
So let's get started... first, how do we decide who to go after? TCU doesn't reveal their strategy, but we can tell a lot about it on our own. In general, they have 3 lists of prospects. The FIRST priority is the easy picks of 4*-5* supermen that every team wants. We know we won't get many of these, but have to try; you only need 2-3 to have a very good class. There are only about 30 5* athletes, and we'll know we've finally arrived as a power when we start getting even one of those semi-regularly; but there are about 220 4*s, so here's where competition is the thickest. The SECOND list is our traditional bases, mostly TX (tho this is changing as our reputation grows), where about 3/4 of our team comes from. Our best out of state taps are LA and CA (surprise! and thank you Rose Bowl). We also usually get someone from FL & GA. Its no coincidence these are the traditional football-rich states. We know Patterson's intent is to build a wall around DFW and make it our base; that makes sense, but won't be easy breaking the long-held advantages of the big boys at UT, aTm, OU; and I hear there are other local colleges (?) who want their share too. Everyone on the first 2 lists gets an offer. Not so the THIRD list of 2*-and-lower. This is where Patterson excels in finding raw gems of talent. Many of these will get our offer... IF they pick us. By default, there is a FOURTH list of those we looked at but don't make the cut; this can change if our top 3 lists don't get enough results (but means we didn't do well). The FROGS made offers to about 80 athletes, knowing we won't get most. This is called "over-booking", and everyone does it because it usually works itself out by the end of recruiting; but some (cough-saban-cough-myers-cough) do it a whole whole lot and risk sanctions.
Space doesn't allow me to list everyone we've offered; you can look those up yourself on scouting sites. What I will list here are our best bets and our odds of getting them (based on composites of all recruiting sites), listed by ranking; all these players have us on their list: Boldface signifies those most favorable to sign with TCU.

Most of those on this list will not sign with TCU, but everyone who we do sign is likely listed here. Also, there are several unrated players at all positions on our watch list, if needed; all not offered yet. Those listed as unknown in their signability are because they have not yet rated or whittled down their school offers list, so these ratings will change over time. There is no need to panic yet... you can see that most athletes have not yet made any commit decision, or even school visits yet. Remember all these seniors are just starting training for their HS senior year; some like to get their college decision over and done early, while others don't yet know where they want to go or else prefer to concentrate on their prep ball first. So it is very important and possible for a college to impress/sway prospects with a strong winning season!
The LOI signing period doesn't start until Feb. 5, '14 & ends April 1.

How do I customise a DataObjectManager popup?
19 March 2012 at 6:50pm
I have a DataObjectDecorator for the File class that needs to add and remove a few fields from the file popup. While updateCMSFields() is called, I seem to be unable to modify the fields in the popup. I have the DataObjectManager module installed (and uploadify, but that's not affecting this), and the file popup is clearly a DataObjectManager_Popup (DOM_P) object.
How can I add/remove fields from a DOM_P? A method for updateCMSFields() to detect whether it's deling with a DOM_P GUI would be handy too.

It turned out that an if statement that was checking if the file had a valid ID was stopping the code from running. It's all solved now, and there's nothing special about customising DataObjectManager popup GUIs.
I find it odd that the File object's ID field was set to zero when updateCMSFields() was called, as these were existing files with corresponding database entries.

I offer this thought experiment not to make light of the serious injuries that have affected real men, husbands, and fathers, but rather to add a little humor to our team's current situation.
If all the guys on PUP and IR were magically made healthy, could they field a team by themselves? (For purposes of this post, I'm including Finley, although nothing has been made official.)
First, let's look at offense:
LT - Bryan Bulaga
LG - Jerel Worthy
C - Greg Van Roten
RG - JC Tretter
RT - Derek Sherrod
QB - Randall Cobb
RB - DuJuan Harris
FB - Robert Francois
WR - Kevin Dorsey
WR - Sederrik Cunningham
TE - Jermichael Finley
Not bad! We ask Cobb to play his old position as QB, Worthy flips from defensive line to offensive line, and Francois blocks linebackers instead of playing one. Seriously, tell me this group couldn't score on the Vikings. On to defense:
DT - JC Tretter
DT - Derek Sherrod
DE - Jerel Worthy
DE - Bryan Bulaga
OLB - Jermichael Finley
OLB - DuJuan Harris
ILB - Robert Francois
CB - Sederik Cunningham
CB - Randall Cobb
SS - Sean Richardson
FS - Kevin Dorsey
Here I switched to a 4-3 to take advantage of the large bodies we have. I put Harris and Finley as OLBs since they'll have to cover RBs and TEs and are athletic enough to cover the flats. Otherwise wide receivers play in the secondary led by Richardson. Francois and Worthy add an experienced presence in the linebackers and d-line.
Am I missing anyone? Which players would you move around? If given a little time and coaching, could this team be competitive?
