I was just reading on another site about josh Freeman rotoworld.com. How his future is murky with the buccaneers he is owed 8.5million for the love of god he is not the answer. All people will know an remember about Freeman he isn't winner he was not a winner in college an it has just transfer to the league. An if this coach is not wise he will be the second victim of Josh Freeman so he may need to start looking for his own qb. Once again you can't win with a loser
What is it do Freeman have you people voodooed or what are you not watching him week in an week out he almost gave the game away yesterday
Quote from: bucball1 on December 31, 2012, 10:01:21 AMWhat is it do Freeman have you people voodooed or what are you not watching him week in an week out he almost gave the game away yesterdayfreeman doesnt have many voodoo'd. but it is appreciated when posters bring ideas rather than just complaints.
All of these Freeman threads and zero on what to do with our historically bad secondary. Very, very telling about the football IQ for a lot of people on this board. Freeman plays next season. Fix the secondary, sign some depth, stay healthy, go to the playoffs. That's the plan. End of debate.

Great American Ball Park is known as a "hitters" park.
It's dimensions… left field foul pole: 328 feet; left field power alley: 379 feet; center field: 404 feet; right field power alley: 370 feet; right field foul pole: 325 feet…certainly help in that regard.
According to SI.com, "since it opened in 2003, Great American Ball Park has featured more than 2,017 home runs."
In contrast, Coors Field in Denver has yielded in the neighborhood of 1,762. As it turns out air temperature and air pressure play a pretty significant role in how far the ball flies.
When air warms, it expands. This warming and expansion lowers the density of the air. This produces longer flight.
Thanks to warm air being less dense than cold air, it's much easier to hit a home run on a warm day than a cool day.
Additionally, air pressure affects air density.
At higher elevations, air has lower density. When the air density is lower, baseballs can travel further.
Air rubbing against a baseball produces friction. The lower the air density, the smaller this frictional force becomes.
A ball park near sea level is tougher to hit a homer in than say, a ball park at a higher elevation (for example Denver).
Coors Field, at a mile in elevation can add some 20-40 feet to a ball screaming into the outfield because of the lower air pressure
So, if you were wondering about some of the long fly balls Tuesday night at GABP, the cooler air (and somewhat higher pressure) played a role in helping to keep them in the park.
If you are headed to GABP for game 4 of the NLDS, bundle up!
Temperatures at 4:00 p.m. at the stadium will be in the upper 50s with a wind chill in mid 40s.
The temperature will drop to the mid 40s by 9pm with a wind chill around 40º. GO REDS!!!!!!

A bold approach
Martin Klopstock of Kogan Page has provided FutureBook with a great case study of their book and iPad app BOLD. Really useful to find out how the project developed, key decisions and the strategy they have taken:
'The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms occur.'
(Antonio Gramsci 1891–1937)
We don't have to share Gramsci's pessimism to realise that we have entered the threshold of a new age of content creation and dissemination – although we haven't yet entirely crossed it. The vast majority of book publications are still the paperbacks and hardbacks of the Gutenberg era, but other more fanciful and networked options are rapidly emerging. In the transitional space we have entered, old rules are breaking down, but no dominant new paradigm seems on the horizon yet. Publishers' responses to this rapidly transfiguring landscape of the traditional publishing supply chain and new content models range from 'wait and see' to serious experimentation.
I would suggest that this is a time for risk taking and brave – indeed bold – decision making. Here's why. As readers become increasingly networked cyber-citizens, their purchasing habits are realigning themselves with new reading technologies and supply-chain offerings. They are able to pursue ever more arcane, specialised and personal interests from the comfort of their own rooms. They are increasingly likely to find out online about a book that might interest them, as newspapers are going digital and e-retailers are mining their customer data for ever more personalised recommendations.
Apple's iPad has certainly made an impact with 15 million devices sold since launch. And users are downloading apps in their billions (Apple is on their '10 Billion App Countdown'). What, one might ask, has this to do with traditional publishing? Not much on the face of it, but there are real opportunities for those willing to enter the fray.
Bold book – Bold app – Bold publishing
In April, Kogan Page will be publishing BOLD: How to be brave in business and win by Shaun Smith and Andy Milligan – a book that draws on several years of research on profiling and analysing brands that are transforming their markets. Other industries and sectors have embraced the socially networked lives of their customers and are engaging with them in imaginative ways that create online 'communities' with shared interests and shared sets of values. The authors' deep experience of how brands succeed and fail and what truly sets some brands apart from others was too good an opportunity to miss for us as publishers and, perhaps, presents us with an opportunity to help transform our market.
It quickly became obvious that here was a great opportunity to create our own 'bold' approach to publishing with BOLD the book. Almost from day one, the idea of an iPad app was mooted – but a number of questions presented themselves almost as rapidly: What shape should the app take? What would its relationship to the book be? Who would be suitable developers? How would we envisage the process of a three-way collaboration between publisher, author and developer? How would this process then impact upon the marketing of the book and the app?
Kogan Page had developed one previous app, with an offshore vendor, and one decision that was made almost immediately was that we needed a local company to develop the app. In addition, we wanted them to have extensive publishing experience and be excellent communicators (and not just geeks), as we knew that much of the detailed communication would have to be between the developers and the authors whose content they were transforming into a compelling user experience on the iPad.
Having identified the developer (Spacebar), it was vital to align our objectives three ways: publisher and authors needed to agree on the overall purpose and function of the app and its relationship to the printed book; and the developer needed to understand their vision and give digital shape to it. It helped enormously that the authors were equally keen on developing an app – they did not have to be prompted, and could see the potential of an app early in the process. I cannot overstate the importance of a shared approach and objectives between publisher and author: they need to become a team. This is one of the significant differences to the traditional, much more arms-length, approach in which the author creates the content and only really engages with the publisher after completion.
A book/app hybrid
The first decision was to agree the overall function and purpose of the app: we did not want the app to be a merely digital version of the book, but to present the user with a compelling offering in its own right. It therefore needed to contain specifically authored premium content – but content that had a relationship to the book. In the case of BOLD, it was decided that the app was to be an interactive brand-profiling tool that could be used to create the profile of any brand – and then measure it against the characteristics of the 'bold' brands described in the book. The app, in effect, is a tool embodying the authors' brand-profiling methodology outlined in the book: it puts it into practice.
It was also agreed, right from the start, that the app was to be free, but would drive book sales by exploiting cross-marketing opportunities between book and app. It also gave both the publisher and the author an opportunity to market their respective brands. This was not a decision for the faint-hearted – but was made deliberately and in mutual agreement.
The next decision was to agree the relationship between the profiling tool in the app and the book content. While it was clear from the start that the app (being free) needed to drive sales of the printed book, there was still room to be creative. We decided not only to make the entire book available inside the app, as a paid-for e-book, but also to personalise the reading experience by allowing the reader to select individual chapters from the book based on the results of their brand-profiling exercise. Once the user has profiled their own brand, the app makes recommendations on how to improve it and align it more with the 'bold' brands described the book. These recommendations refer the user back to specific chapters in BOLD the book, which can be unlocked individually within the app. Links to the main e-retailers for the print version are also available.
An additional reason for 'curating' the reading experience based on the reader's interaction with the profiling tool was the following thought: instead of regarding the book as a single item, the value of specifically selected content for each reader would, we imagined, change the price/value relationship of the content for them. This is the basis for premium pricing the 'curated' recommended chapters and offering in effect 'content on a sliding scale'. The recommended chapters are cheaper than the whole book, but more expensive than they would be on a pro-rata basis. We will see if our readers share our assumption.
The reader at the centre
Another point which emerged early on in discussions with the authors was that it was important to make decisions exclusively with the reader/app user in mind: if a particular feature of the app adds no value for them – we would not include it. Once we had decided that the primary purpose of the app was to create value to the reader, it created a clear focus. This is also the reason we decided not to require the reader to register their details before using the app, even though this would have provided valuable data for both authors and publisher. We felt this would have potentially devalued the app content for the reader, who can still add their name to a mailing list voluntarily.
This constituted, in effect, the vision for the app, and the developer needed to signal that they were on board.
Once all three parties felt they had communicated their intentions successfully, the development process could begin in earnest. The first step was a detailed proposal by the developer and a set of wireframes showing the basic structure of the app. A good developer can add significantly to the process: they will often make a creative contribution to the final shape of the product. They will also point out what deviations from the initial brief can be accommodated easily (and within budget), and which ones would be possible, but would significantly expand the agreed project scope. Scope creep is an ever present hazard, as on all bespoke software development, and the publisher's role is to spot opportunities for product improvement that can be realised within the agreed parameters while not dampening the overall enthusiasm for the project by being too heavy-handed.
Where next?
The 'print and pray' approach to publishing is showing its long tooth and it is clear that marketing efforts will have to become much more focused and imaginative – and will need to involve all parties (in this case: author/publisher/developer) right from the start. This will also involve an increased share in risk and reward, time and effort. These are exciting times for content creators, developers and publishers: and part of the enthusiasm for the brave new world we are all entering is the x-ingredient of shared purpose and 'boldness' of approach. This is not the time for 'business as usual' and publishers need to re-invent the relationships with their readers, but also with their authors! It provides enormous satisfaction to see a vision become reality – precisely because that vision unveils itself in an increasingly shared and collaborative publishing process. Be bold, try it!
The book is accompanied by a
The book is accompanied by a free iPad app. The app, in particular, allows the reader to
analyse and compare their own brand with those studied in the book.
More significantly the free, premium content included in the app serves to
promote the book while also enabling readers to unlock individually
recommended chapters that can be purchased and read from within the app.
In addition the reader can order a hard copy of the book directly, whilst being
able to sign up for relevant courses or events; thereby elevating the process
into a truly engaging and social experience.

Diggs link here has some pics. I kinda like them. I like the shorts with the checked pattern and I like keeping the checked pattern on the waistband showing the championships. Overall I think the faded design looks better on the road ones. On the home jersey's it looks almost like a stain. From a distance or on tv they might just look dirty. If you are a catspause sub you can get more photos it looks like.
So what say you? Like, dislike or who cares as long as they win?

Paige Wright (Northrop/Fort Wayne, Ind.) started it with a 3-pointer, and Kamilah Carter (Pioneer/Ann Arbor, Mich.) picked up a crucial 3-point play in overtime as the No. 6 Express women's basketball team defeated Cincinnati State Technical and Community College 89-82 in an extra session thriller.
That duo also combined to make 4-for-4 the foul line to seal a wild game. The Express only trailed once, but the Surge made it interesting down the stretch in regulation and in overtime.
After LaKayra Carlisle (Pershing/Detroit, Mich.) opened the game with a pair of free throws for the Express, Phylicia Johnson buried a 3-pointer to give her team what would turn out to be their only lead of the game.
Carlisle answered with a jumper in the paint to give the Express the lead back on the next possession as the Express stretched their lead to as many as 11 in the first half on two occassions. The first came on a Carter 3-pointer that put Owens up 25-14 with 5:05 left in the half, while the second came on a pair of Hannah Griffin(Edgerton/Edgerton, Ohio) free throws with 4:03 left that gave Owens a 27-16 lead.
The Surge closed the half well, though, and trimmed their deficit to six at 33-27.
The second half was quite the affair. Hannah Stephenson and Emily Fite hit back-to-back baskets to open the half and trim the Surge deficit to two, but Ashley Tunstall (Huber Heights Wayne/Dayton, Ohio) responded with a jumper in the paint.
After that, the teams traded baskets over the next few minutes until the Express stretched a 39-35 lead to 13 via a 9-0 run that featured eight points from Eboni Adams (Maple Heights/Cleveland, Ohio). When the run was over, the Express led 48-35 with 15:50 remaining.
The Express weren't done as Wright drained a 3-pointer from straightaway to give the Express a 53-37 lead with 14:25 left. The Surge, however, answered that with a 12-0 run, capped by a 3-pointer from the left wing by Johnson that made it 53-49 with 8:58 left.
The Surge trimmed it to two on an Ericka Fitzpatrick lay-up with 7:23 left before Carlisle buried a corner three to put her team back up five. The Surge then, once again, responded with a 5-0 run to tie the game at 58-all with 4:59 remaining.
The Express followed with baskets from Adams and Zhana Randolph (Rochester Hills/Rochester Hills, Mich.), while the Surge got baskets from Stephenson and Fite to force a 62-all game with 2:29 remaining.
That's when things got silly.
Adams drained a pair of free throws to give the Express a two-point lead, Carter stole the ball and drained a jumper, Fitzpatrick missed a lay-up, Carter grabbed the rebound and drained a 3-pointer from the right wing to give the Express a 69-62 lead with 1:27 left.
With the game seemingly over, the Surge closed the half on an 8-1 run. Fite hit a jumper, Johnson hit a 3-pointer and Fite made 1-for-2 at the line to trim it to a one point game. Carter then gave the Surge an opening by making only 1-for-3 over two trips to the foul line, which set up a coast to coast driving lay-up from Fitzpatrick with 1.5 seconds left to tie it up.
The Express called a timeout and heaved a baseball pass down the court, but it was tipped and the game went to OT.
The Express got the overtime tip and Adams dished to Wright for a corner 3-pointer to give the Express some momentum. Adams followed with 1-for-2 at the foul line, Fite made 1-for-2 at the line and Tunstall hit a lay-up to put the Express up five at 76-71 with 3:49 left.
The Surge answered with an 11-6 run to tie the game at 82-all with 1:02 left. The Surge's Dawn Johnson even had a chance to give her team the lead, but missed the back end of two free throws.
That's when Carter drove on the right side of the lane to the hoop, made a lay-up, got fouled and made the ensuing free throw to give the Express an 85-82 lead. After a missed 3-pointer from Dawn Johnson, Carter hit 2-for-2 at the line to stretch it to five. Fitzpatrick then missed a jumper and Wright was fouled, and she hit both free throws to seal the game with 10 seconds left.
Carter and Adams each finished with a game-high 22 points, with Carter playing 42 of the game's 45 minutes. After scoring only five points on 2-for-12 shooting in the first half, Carter scored 10 points on 4-for-7 shooting in the second half. She then added seven points in the OT session, while chipping in five rebounds, two assists and two steals overall.
Adams, who fouled out in the overtime session, finished 9-for-16 from the field, 1-for-2 from 3-point range and 3-for-4 from the foul line. She added six rebounds, three assists and two blocks.
Tunstall added 14 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal from the starting lineup, while Wright had 10 points, seven rebounds, four assists and one steal off the bench. She had missed the team's last game, but played 32 minutes and finished 2-for-5 from 3-point range and 4-for-4 from the foul line. It was her first double figure scoring game since Jan. 29 against Edison.
Fite, after a slow first half, led the Surge with 21 points, nine rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block off the bench. She finished 9-for-14 from the field. Fitzpatrick and Phylicia Johnson each scored 18, while Alexus Chinn added 10.
Phylicia Johnson, Danielle Cheatum and Alexus Chinn all fouled out in overtime for the Surge, who lost for the second time to the Express this year.
With the win, the Express are now at least two games up on everyone else in the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference (OCCAC) with four games left. They are now 21-2 overall and 7-1 in OCCAC play, while the Surge fall to 16-10 overall and 7-3 in OCCAC play.
The Express will travel to Edison Community College on Wednesday for a 5:30 p.m. matchup before hosting Columbus State Community College next Wednesday. The Cougars dealt the Express their only conference loss on Feb. 1.

This post is #17 in DailyTekk's famous Top 100 series which explores the best startups, gadgets, apps, websites and services in a given category. Total items listed: 105. Time to compile: 8+ hours. Follow @DailyTekk on Twitter to make sure you don't miss a week!
Have you heard?!? Blogging is dead! It's not, actually, but that's what some people would like you to believe. Blogging is very much alive and well 5 months into 2012 (you're reading a blog right now). Blogging is one of the Internet's oldest platforms for sharing information and it's just as important as ever to the Internet ecosystem. True, less people and businesses are blogging this year, but the bloggers that remain tend to actually publish worthwhile content. If you're a tech startup, you can't tell me you don't want to be covered on Techcrunch. Yes, Twitter (a micro-blog itself) and Facebook (built-in blogging capabilities) and a slew of new apps and networks are making it easier than ever to share information, and control who sees it, but some things simply can't be said in 140 characters or less or shouldn't be hidden behind a walled garden. The open Web is here to stay (it would be a sad world if it disappeared) and blogging remains the best way to publish high-quality, findable and useful information quickly and easily for a very large segment of the world's population.
This is an exciting time to be a blogger in my opinion. Look, DailyTekk is just about 3 months old at this point and we're getting 140,000 page views per month, are part of the SAY Media network, have multiple partnerships with interesting people and companies and are already nearing 1000 Twitter followers. Clearly people like the content we are producing out and how it is being delivered. Like many of the articles I have created, I made this post at least partially for myself. I've included some awesome-looking new blogging platforms, tools that can help optimize blog content creation, ways to engage readers and encourage loyalty, tools for enhancing blog performance and security, creative ways to embed media in your posts and much more.

The first five days of trading for January were bearish as the Fed's meeting minutes did little to help the bulls dig out of their hole. There was a little volatility ahead and after the late day news as the zombies expressed confidence in the economy's continuing improvement and was the main reason they started to taper now rather than later. However, they also said they could increase quantitative easing, if needed, or continue with cuts, or stand pat.
The major indexes were just as confused but support held and resistance was pushed as the current 3-week trading range continues. (continued…)

Buying Advice
Buying high fidelity equipment is very different to buying a dishwasher or a refrigerator. Provided the latter works, everything is fine. The situation is far more complex with hi-fi, which has to do much more than perform a mundane task.
A hi-fi system has to allow recorded music to excite your senses and fire your imagination: it must satisfy you intellectually and emotionally. That is why you will not find Naim Audio for sale in any superstores or internet e-tailers.
Naim products can only be bought from specialist, independent, bricks and mortar retailers who have the requisite knowledge and training to provide the facilities and support such sophisticated equipment deserves.
All Naim retailers have demonstration lounges in which you can sit and appreciate the performance of what you are intending to buy. The store will be able to let you hear, for example, how a system performs with a selection of different loudspeakers. They will let you compare the performance of Naim with other manufacturers' equipment so that you can be absolutely certain you are making the right choice. Think of it as the audio equivalent of taking a car for a truly meaningful test drive rather than the usual 'once around the block'.
This process ensures that you finish up with what is, effectively, a completely bespoke system, tailored and tuned to suit your requirements. The retailer will then professionally fit the equipment in your home: we insist on this not only to ensure that the system is safely and correctly installed but also to guarantee that its performance is optimised in your home environment.

Where does everyone go for player and team data and/or statistical analysis? I'm familiar with big names (82games, basketball-reference etc.), but are there any hidden gems out there?
Also, as long as we're on the subject: Who's into non-traditional basketball analysis? Anybody have their own adjusted +/- system or anything like that? Can a player's value be boiled down to a single number? Basically, I'm fascinated with the subject, but mostly clueless and I'd love to hear some discussion by people more knowledgeable than myself.

£2.10 per 100ml
Beautycard Points: 3 points
Product Information

Enriched with cornflower extract to remove eye make-up effectively whilst soothing the skin.
Product Specification
Size (150) Unit (ML) Height (13.6) Width (6.5) Depth (3.5)
It sinks into your skin very well and also has a nice fragrance. It is very gentle on your skin and removes make up including waterproof mascara very well without leaving the skin greasy. No bad points, this is a must have for all those beauties on a budget!! Love it baby.Flag this review
I've been using this for about a month now and I think its one of the best eye make up removers so far! Some can be too oily or they don't fully remove all your mascara but this one is great! It smells really fresh, it doesn't sting your eyes at all if it gets in them and it effectively removes all eye make up really quickly. I love it!Flag this review
First cleanser that doesn't make my skin feel too dry & tight after I've used it, unlike so many others designed for oily/combo skin. This is so good at it's job, that I stopped using the toner. I rub a 10p sized blob all over my face & remove with a cotton pad. It does remove my MUA waterproof mascara, but it's fairly uncomfortable & blury if you manage it get it in your eye. I then just rinse it off with tepid wated & then use a small pinch of Superdrug Coconut oil to melt into my face as a moisturiser. At night I also use 1 squirt of Superdrug's Swiss Apple serum. Between these 3 products my skin is looking fresh, clear and glowing without looking oily. I did have a very oily T-zone before starting my new routine with just these 3 products & have definately noticed the difference after a month. My spots have significantly decreased in number & the ones I do get are much smaller. Have just bought the facial scrub in this range.Flag this review

Recruiting News: We may be in trouble with Floyd
Premium link, free part says: "Penn State fans have been excited about the idea of adding five-star defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd to their class for a long time now, but suddenly talk is floating that the Philly native is putting them out of the picture. Scout.com tapped one of it's sources to get to the bottom of this on Thursday." I don't have premium access but rumor has it something occured which may have allowed Urban Meyer the opportunity to trash talk Penn State, and it may be working.

We have some excellent bloodlines and have now produced several grand champions and have had multiple milkers on the top ten list for their milk, butterfat and protien production, but we are still working very hard on our herd to produce the best goats we can.

It has 4 autograph's on it and I need a little help figuring some of them out. I have included pictures, the obvious on to me is #44 (Jarrad Page). I think I have # 38 figured out, Mike Braggs (2006). So now I have to figure out #52, Will ? and then there is one lone one on the other side which I have no clue on. Any help is appreciated.

Martha Stewart, Home Depot & Outdoor Living
It is difficult to compete with the marketing efforts of such big companies as, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and Home Depot. So when they announced today that they are joining forces to create and sell outdoor furniture and accessories it makes me wonder, How is the small yet dedicated casual furniture dealer supposed to compete against such media giants? Well the answer is that there is no competition. Martha Stewart and Home Depot will be selling products that are for the mass market not the luxury consumer.
Today's Garden Center reported, "The Home Depot and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. have announced an agreement to develop an exclusive Martha Stewart Living brand of home improvement products in select categories including outdoor living, home organization and home decor.
"Our partnership with Martha Stewart is a natural fit. For years both organizations have been the go-to destination for consumers seeking ideas and information regarding their home improvement projects," said Frank Blake, chairman & CEO, The Home Depot. "Martha and her organization offer the best, most practical design ideas for customers and together we will offer unique products at affordable prices, along with enhanced know-how to help consumers complete any project."
"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with The Home Depot, the largest home improvement retailer in the world," said Martha Stewart, MSLO Founder. "Martha Stewart products have always been stylish and distinctive, with a consistently high level of quality. Partnering with The Home Depot allows us to offer a wider audience the product and 'how-to' information they need to complete all of their home improvement projects."
Home Depot reports that Martha Stewart and her team of designers are working side by side with The Home Depot merchant and design teams to produce a brand that allows customers to easily coordinate decor and design elements when taking on home improvement projects.
Products in the outdoor living category will begin to launch in January 2010 in the U.S. and February 2010 in Canada. Products in the home organization categories will launch in February 2010. The outdoor living line will consist of many different styles of patio dining and conversation sets ranging in price from $399 to $1,999."
So remember market to your retail customer, market to your target market and don't worry about the mass market.
These are my outside views…Marcia Blake

All applications for Arthritis Foundation research awards are impartially and critically evaluated by scientific peers to ensure funds are used for the very best research.
The process is driven by a review committee, made up of nine study sections, consisting of scientific experts who specialize in a particular area of investigation. The sections include: Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Cellular Immunology, Clinical Immunology, Clinical/ Therapeutics/Outcomes, Inflammation, Molecular Biology & Genetics, Molecular Immunology, and Technologies/ Biomechanics.
Each year more than 100 volunteer scientific experts participate in the peer review process. These individuals are selected because of their standing within the scientific community. Criteria for their selection is holding a position as a faculty member at an accredited academic institution or research center, track record of winning grants (from NIH and others), and standing in the scientific community. Postdoctoral Fellowship applications are reviewed by a separate panel of experts who are distinguished specifically because of their track record in training new scientists and arthritis investigators.
Each expert reviews the proposals independently and then the study sections meet to discuss each grant application. Reviewers rate the potential impact of the project on arthritis, experimental methods and design, originality, investigator qualifications, availability of support services, suitability of facilities, and budget.
Each grant is reviewed specifically by at least three different individuals and the entire committee evaluates their critiques and offers any additional opinions. Following the review a statistical analysis is carried out to ensure that different teams are consistent in their overall reviews. The standard NIH scoring system is used to rank grants. Ratings are averaged and placed in order of their rank, with only those about a committee established threshold approved for funding.
Although many grants are approved on their scientific merit, only grants for which there are funds available receive an actual financial award. Through the years, the amount of funded research has, in general, represented about a half as much as was approved for funding. Unfortunately, this means excellent, original, scientifically sound research remains unfunded.

A well-deserved honor for both the film and director Nadia Tass. I had the pleasure of seeing "Matching Jack" in Louisiana last week and found it absolutely wonderful!
Lynne Renew - Original Screenwriter MATCHING JACK | November 2, 2011 9:01 AM
Wonderful to read the news that Nadia will receive such a wonderful accolade for MATCHING JACK in Los Angeles tonight! And as the original screenwriter of the film - which, along with Best Director and Best Film , also recently received Best Screenplay ( shared with David Parker) at the 2011 Milan International Film Festival - I am also very excited. Particularly since tonight's gala screening of the film is in Los Angeles... because the development of the script in fact has a direct connection with West Coast USA...
I wrote the initial draft of the film that became MATCHING JACK in 1993, as I straddled life between a very supportive Australian Film & Televsion School writing department and The Sydney Kids Hospital, after my 6 year old youngest son, Edmund's bombshell diagnosis with leukemia … 5 weeks into the full-time graduate course.
But, despite only a "50% chance" back then for Edmund's sort of T-cell leukemia, after two rugged years of treatment he had joyfully survived ! Back at school, playing wonky soccer, growing hair … So, naturally, the compulsory celebration trip to Disneyland in the next school hols with Edmund and brother, Morgan . We did Disneyland in dreams-come-true style - and then travelled on to San Francisco. I particularly wanted to share this city that I loved with the boys. Since after a trip there at the end of the 70's - with 2 year old Angus, my eldest son, who was born with severe cerebral palsy – involvement with inspiring post-Vietnam disability-rights movement folk in Berkeley was pivotal in my decision to enrol in visual media studies back home. And this was the area where I subsequently worked making 'challenge and change' community documentaries and other inclusive educational resources, until the early 90's. But there were 'disability themes' that I wanted to explore dramatically, and on my second try, I gained a place in the Film School Writing Dept. Then again, life got in the way - and instead the script that became MATCHING JACK began…
Of course, lots of the focus of the holiday had been on Edmund - but Morgan loved sailing at the local riverside club back home, so a trip to the Fort Mason Maritime Precinct was a priority agenda for our time in San Francisco.
And it was our visit to the Naval Museum – with its wonderful display of traditional ships' figureheads - which suggested a new marine & magical dimension for my story. And back in Australia, the subsequent new draft received an Australian Writers Guild Best Unproduced Screenplay nomination in 1998.
And after two further funded drafts Nadia Tass and her partner David Parker optioned the script. A decade later… due to their passion, multi-talents, and resilience – and with the support of a wonderful cast and crew - MATCHING JACK finally premiered in Australia in July 2010. Most jubilantly, 23 year Edmund - now striving to make in in the Aussie film industry himself - attended the premiere with his girlfriend.
And finally a small irony ... Angus, my son with cerebral palsy, who spent his second birthday in California, on the trip that ultimately launched me into screenwriting, is is 34 years old today.

The measure of a mother's love… Almost everything I learned about cooking, I learned from my mama. Growing up in small-town Georgia, my mother was at the door of anyone who had a birth or death in their family, got a promotion, lost a job, or just broke a bone - with a homemade casserole or pie in hand. She took care of people through food. Still does! Her greatest claim to fame is her mouth-watering chicken & dumplings. It is out of this world & the birthday or celebration dinner request of everyone in our family. She kept her secret from my sister & me for a long time, saying that those dumplings were what kept us coming home. Recently she opened up her recipe box, so to speak, & let us in on her secrets! I then came up with my own version of her masterpiece & served them to her when she visited me in Nashville. I had butterflies when she took her first bite wondering if she would approve. She did! Whew!
So I'm sharing with you my take on what Mama thinks keeps me coming home…
Mama-love is what keeps me coming home; my precious mama, my sweetheart of a daddy - ok, and your dumplings!
Chicken and Dumplings
Serves 6
4 Chicken breasts with skin, boneless
2 tbsp oil
1 medium onion, finely diced
½ cup carrot, finely diced
½ cup celery, finely diced
2 jalapenos, finely diced
¼ tsp cayenne
1 tbsp thyme, minced
6 cups chicken stock
½ cup heavy cream
3 cups self-rising flour
3 tbsp Crisco, cold
¾ -1 cup cold milk
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven and brown the chicken. Remove the chicken from the pot and add the onions, carrots celery, jalapenos, thyme and cayenne. Stir and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Add chicken back into the pan. Add the chicken stock. Simmer for 20 minutes.
In the meantime make the dumpling dough. In a bowl add the flour, Crisco and milk. Using your hands mix until it forms a dough. Knead it a few times to ensure it comes together. Set aside.
Remove the cooked chicken from pan. Remove the skin and discard. Using 2 forks shred the chicken and place it back in the pan. Add ½ cup of heavy cream. Stir and make sure it is mixed well. Using a tablespoon scoop 16 dumplings and drop them into the pot. Cover half way with the lid and simmer for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
For the past thirteen years, Kimberly Schlapman has brightened stages worldwide as a member of country foursome Little Big Town. This March, she'll fulfill a lifelong dream with the second season airing of Kimberly's Simply Southern, a half-hour cooking show on GAC.
Kimberly grew up in the northern foothills of Georgia where cooking was an enormous part of Kimberly's upbringing. She calls both of her grandmothers "incredible" cooks but it was her mother who taught her not just how to cook, but how to take care of people with food.
In 1987, Kimberly left home to attend Samford University, where she met fellow vocalist Karen Fairchild. After graduation, both women moved to Nashville, which is where the idea for Little Big Town was born. The addition of Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet filled out their signature harmonic sound and five albums later; they're still going strong.
Kimberly currently lives in Nashville with husband Stephen and daughter Daisy Pearl. www.kimberlyssimplysouthern.com

How the Ukraine Crisis Ends
Henry Kissinger, Washington Post
The Associated Press
Russia must accept that to try to force Ukraine into a satellite status, and thereby move Russia's borders again, would doom Moscow to repeat its history of self-fulfilling cycles of reciprocal pressures with Europe and the United States. The West must understand that, to Russia, Ukraine can never be just a foreign country. Russian history began in what was called Kievan-Rus. The Russian religion spread from there. Ukraine has been part of Russia for centuries, and their histories were intertwined before then. Some of the most important battles for Russian freedom, starting with the Battle of Poltava in 1709 , were fought on Ukrainian soil. The Black Sea Fleet — Russia's means of projecting power in the Mediterranean — is based by long-term lease in Sevastopol, in Crimea. Even...

Sprint Galaxy Nexus, or wait?
I currently own a Nexus S 4g on Sprint and I have been available for an upgrade for a few months. The fact that Sprint's iteration of the Galaxy Nexus might have a 1.5 Ghz dual core processor and support their brand new LTE network excites me, but I'm wondering if I should just wait it out.
I'm definitely happy with my Nexus S with ICS (unofficially, of course) and wouldn't mind holding on to it for a while. I'm looking at the GS3 as well as the Galaxy Nexus since I would just root it and put a stock ROM on it anyway. And I honestly have been thinking about even waiting till the end of this year to get the next Nexus debuting Jelly Bean. I'm sure my Nexus S would hold up until then, but I'm not sure what to do.
Any thoughts?

PCAOB rips more audit firms
The quality of audits emerged as a big issue in 2012, with the Public Company Accounting Board taking a somewhat activist posture on some issues.
It pushed hard to gain buy-in for term limits on audit firms, essentially doing away with the idea that audit firms can serve as permanent service providers to a specific company. It also pushed for various changes to financial statements. The board has suggested several changes that would require more information for investors in key areas as well as clarification of key terms and other measures, including a narrative-like discussion from the auditor that would be akin to the "Management Discussion and Analysis" (MD & A) section.
It's unclear if any of this will ever beyond the idea phase. Lots of issuers have voiced misgivings, and several politicians have signaled their intent to oppose mandatory term limits on audit firms. All this is playing out against a backdrop of increasingly shoddy audits. The PCAOB has previously rapped PwC and KPMG over the quality of their audits. Just recently, it rapped Deloitte & Touche, Ernst & Young, and Grant Thornton.
The most recent report says that in four cases, problematic issues discovered by inspectors led to restatements. This included two for Deloitte and one each for E&Y and Grant Thornton. While Deloitte showed an improvement in its failure rate in 2011, the failure rates rose for both E&Y and Grant Thornton.
Compliance Week notes the views of one PCAOB member who warned recently that the board is not seeing the improvement in audit quality that it expected to see after the 2010 reports. The board is summarizing its concerns in a report that will be due out soon.
If the audit industry wants to hold the line on new ideas aimed at improving audits, it needs to show that it is doing just fine with the status quo. So far, it has not made a strong case. -Jim

Dr. Michael Layne
Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
"Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea."
We see and hear much about relief efforts when a powerful storm or, other disaster strikes. People come together and pool their resources and find other ways to bring some help to the victims.
In our passage from the Bible, we read where the disciples were determined to send relief to the brethren in Judaea. So, the effort to help others goes back a long time in history. This is only one example of determination.
Have you been determined to get a project accomplished and just have never got around to it? That happens and, sometimes we struggle with getting things done and there can be any number of things to hinder us.
Have you wanted to help and even with good intentions, failed to follow through? I'm sure most of us have had that kind of an issue at some time. We hear or see of a need somewhere whether local or long distance, and with good intentions we have a desire to help, but we forget to follow through.
We have so many things that hinder us from our determination. What hinders you from doing good deeds? Consider your reasoning behind not helping.
Sometimes we just don't have the money to spare and other times we just plain forget. However, there are some ways we can help without money. Volunteering at those places that reach out to people is a good way to fulfill our determination to help.
Norman Vincent Peale was one of the most prolific speakers about positive thinking and he coupled that with Christian living. One of the things he said was: "Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that."
It really doesn't matter how much you have in the checking account when it comes to reaching out to people. If we allow our imagination to go to work for us, we can find ways to help others.
For me, it's important to dream big so I can do something significant with my life and for others. I don't have the money to fix everyone's needs and most of us fall into that category, but together all of us can certainly find ways to assist. We just need to think about it and then act on it.
Nothing in this life comes easy. It takes work, thinking and prayer to figure out what to do and how to do it. So, if you have a desire to reach out to the struggling, consider how much energy you are willing to put into the cause. Seek out others that share a dream like yours and pool your resources. Make it happen!
Determination, when acted upon, will bring a person to the place of fulfillment and certain joy.
Don't let your dream fade. Get up right now and start. Don't delay until tomorrow what you can do today.

Red Gypsy is great! The shop has a clean and friendly atmosphere, not to mention great service! I had absolutely no trouble with my piercing and tattoo, unlike previous experiences with other places. Zac did such a great job designing my tattoo for me, and I can't wait for my next one. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else for tattoos or piercings. (www.yellowpages.com)The atmosphere is awesome! The shop is clean and spacious. Mary is always so friendly, welcoming, and easy to talk to! The artists are also great company. Zac is my artist. He does a phenomenal job! He has corrected two of my previous tattoos from other places. He also tattooed his own beautiful artwork on me. It's shocking how he can just draw something on you and completely exceed your expectations of what it should look like! And the prices are dead on to what they should be. I will NEVER go anywhere else! (www.yellowpages.com)I live in Houston, TX and was told by a family member about Zac's shop, Red Gypsy Tattoo Co. I liked the art I saw by Zac, made an appointment, and drove from Houston, TX to Conway, AR to get my new ink. Zac Meyer was awesome, he had a controlled and light hand. The staff were friendly and the shop was clean and inviting. I love my new artwork! Thank you, Zac and all your staff for a great time. (www.yellowpages.com)This place is great! Everyone was extremely friendly and it is very clean. Albert did my tattoo last night and it turned out excellent. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. Thanks for everything! (www.yellowpages.com)This is a great place to get your tattoos. The artist are all friendly and professional and the shop looks nice and clean. Zac has done an outstanding job with color and shading for me. I can't wait to finish. I recommend Red Gypsy to anyone looking for great artwork. (www.yellowpages.com)Just got my first tattoo here, and love thier art! Would reccomend this parlor over any of the places ive been in Conway! Want badass art on you, this place is for you! (www.yellowpages.com)I went to Red Gypsy because of it's convenient location. Once there, I was so grateful that I had stumbled upon this wonderful tattoo shop. The tattoo artists were both extremely friendly and informative. I received a beautiful tattoo from Josh. I recommend this establishment to anyone wanting a quality custom tattoo. My experience there was phenomenal and I will definitely be going back soon!!! (www.yellowpages.com)AMAZING tattoo business ! I've never been in a tattoo shop that has been so friendly and put together as nicely as Red Gypsy ! Zac did an amazing job on my tattoo as well. Most definitely recommend this shop to anyone ! (www.yellowpages.com)There is nowhere else in Conway to get tattooed! Like they said, best portfolios and cleanest tattoo shop in Central Arkansas. I always go into a shops bathroom before I agree to get tattooed there. Their bathroom passes the test with flying colors! This shop is very classy! It looks more like a salon or an art gallery than a tattoo shop! Also, my tattoo healed up perfectly. (www.yellowpages.com)I got an awesome tribal piece at The Red Gypsy! Very clean place. Their attention to detail is above and beyond. I don't know what you did to get cussed at because the staff is the best in Conway. Super nice! Why go anywhere else? Lets see, you have a nasty trailor, a place that is know for staph infections by the highway and a place that is called the rusty needle. What else is there to say? I tell everyone that I know to check out portfolios from all the places in town. Everyone ends up going to the Red Gypsy cause they are the best and their work speaks for itself. (www.yellowpages.com)Red Gypsy is hands down the premier tattoo shop in Conway or even Central Arkansas. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely talented. Zac fixed my wife's tatt from another "artist" and added detail that created a beautiful, ornate tattoo where previously existed a 'cut'. Liked him so much he did mine and two more for my wife since then. I even carry his biz cards on my business counter top. They're that good! (www.yellowpages.com)
