WASHINGTON, DC - APRIL 29: Dwayne Roloson #35 of the Tampa Bay Lightning makes a save as Pavel Kubina #13 defends Alex Ovechkin #8 of the Washington Capitals in Game One of the Eastern Conference Semifinal during the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Finals at the Verizon Center on April 29, 2011 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images)
Game 1 was as easy as one, three, one for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Once the Bolts took a 3-2 lead late in the second period on the power play, they clamped down defensively, using their favorite 1-3-1 scheme to stifle Washington's snipers and eventually steal Game 1 by a score of 4-2.
How tight was the Lightning defense as the game wore on? The Capitals only managed to get five shots on goal in the third period.
Hold a high-powered offense like Washington to just five shots and you know you're doing something right.
"They make it frustrating," Caps coach Bruce Boudreau said after the game. "They just hang back and you're trying to push. They're very good at it. That's why when they get a lead, and when they got a lead against Pittsburgh, they hold onto it."
It took a while for Tampa to find its stride, however. Sure, the Bolts took a 1-0 lead just over two minutes into the first period, but Alex Semin evened it up two minutes later with a laser of a shot after a Lightning turnover in their own end. Eric Fehr added another early in the second to give the Caps a 2-1 lead.
But after that, it seemed as though the Bolts started to settle down and the Caps started to get sloppy. Were they just coincidences? Or did one lead to the other? Hard to tell, but by the end of the second period, Tampa took control.
"I think we played well the last 10 minutes of the first and the first 10 minutes of second," said Alex Ovechkin, who finished the game with just two shots and minus-1. "We didn't play our game. We played too cute. We took lots of penalties and that cost us."
It took a lucky bounce off a stick to get the Bolts' offense rolling late in the second, however.
A blind backhanded pass toward the slot by Steve Downie deflected off defenseman Scott Hannan's stick and past Michal Neuvirth to tie it at 2.
A few minutes later Steven Stamkos did some digging in the slot on the power play and shoveled the puck past Neuvirth to give Tampa a lead it wouldn't relinquish.
Dominic Moore, who went to Harvard, added an empty netter with 40 seconds left to seal the deal.
For Boudreau, he saw some bad habits creeping back in to the Capitals' game.
"I thought the game plan we got away from, but I thought we were in control of the game until the Downie goal," he said. "You can't play river hockey. We were reverting back to an older day."
Yes, those bad habits -- like not crashing the net and not shooting on the power play -- returned as the game wore on.
But despite winning the game, Lightning coach Guy Boucher continued to harp about his team's role as an underdog in the series.
Woe is the Lightning. Who will think of the poor, defenseless Lightning?
Think we're kidding? Just listen to how Boucher reacted after the game -- and remember that his team actually won.
While it sounded all like gloom and doom, Boucher does have some cause for concern. He lost both Simon Gagne and Pavel Kubina in the game. And he played most of the game with 10 forwards. And he has to play back-to-back games on home ice for Games 3 and 4.
But still, the Bolts are much better than Boucher lets on. If there was any doubt about that heading into this series, Caps fans should doubt no more.
Game 2 will be played at 6:30 p.m. Sunday at the Verizon Center.

Hey dolls. I just wanted to share this article that FORBES Magazine did on our family. As I'm sure you all know, recently our family has been receiving a lot of criticism, which of course has hurt, but luckily we're a strong bunch and we always have each other's backs so we didn't let it get to us too much. But then today, an article was released by the NY Post that was so unbelievably false that we all felt a need to step up and defend ourselves. There have been so many rumors swirling and this one was really just the straw that broke the camel's back for me. This is just plain mean and it's so sad that people have to do this to get attention. I know this comes with the territory and I normally would never pay one ounce of attention to it, but it's unfortunate when a news publication puts out inaccurate information without doing any fact checking — it's just not fair to the readers who see this information.
Head over to www.forbes.com for the scoop. Thank you so much to our fans who always have our back. I love you all madly! xoxoxo

NBC's Williams: 'Astounding' Food Stamp 'Numbers Would Come As a Huge Disappointment to' LBJ
On Wednesday's NBC Nightly News, anchor Brian Williams reported on another development in the Great Obama Recovery:
"We saw some astounding new numbers that came out today. They showed the number of Americans relying on food stamps has hit another all-time record. These numbers would come as a huge disappointment to President Lyndon Johnson, who launched his War on Poverty back in 1964. Nearly 46 million of your fellow citizens are receiving food stamp assistance. That represents 21 million American households. Numbers went up in 49 out of 50 states."
Certainly discouraging numbers, but not astounding. Unless, of course, you somehow expected the machinations of President Barack Obama & Associates to do anything other than kill any hope of economic recuperation.
President Lyndon Johnson may have been disappointed, but the chief warrior in the War on Poverty shouldn't be given total credit, if that's the correct word, for the food stamp program. That distinction belongs to another liberal hero, John F. Kennedy.
According to the JFK Presidential Library and Museum's Web site, on February 2, 1961, Kennedy asked "Congress for program to help end recession, including food stamps, extended benefits for unemployed workers and welfare payments for their children." This was followed by his first executive order, which announced a three-year food stamp "pilot" program. We all know what happens to temporary government programs; his successor and Congress made it permanent with the Food Stamp Act of 1964:
The Department (of Agriculture) estimated that participation in a national FSP would eventually reach 4 million, at a cost of $360 million annually.
Kennedy brother-in-law Sargent Shriver ran LBJ's Office of Economic Opportunity. In 1967, when about $700 million a year was devoted to food assistance programs, Shriver estimated that another billion dollars would permanently solve the problem of hunger in America. That was $66 billion ago.
If anything's astounding, it's that most in the mainstream media never question why, after trillions of tax dollars spent on fighting poverty, there's so little, if any, improvement. And it's questionable that Kennedy and Johnson, both of whom thought Washington had the solutions, would be all that disappointed to see so many Americans dependent on government for help.

Interesting how Williams seems to assume that everyone receiving food stamps actually relies on them.
Why not actually act like a reporter and do an investigative piece to justify that assumption rather than simply asserting it as if it were a fact.

Thank you, Brain, for showing us all just what a failure that program, and the other "War on Poverty" programs the federal government has instituted in the last 50 years, really is. Despite decades of application, despite BILLIONS of dollars spent in just this program alone, it has failed to prevent, or even reduce, poverty in America. Don't you think it's time we try something else?

Submitted by Rush Fan on Thu, 08/04/2011 - 5:10pm.
with food stamps, welfare checks, extended unemployment benefits, school breakfast and lunch programs, and other government assistance programs to those in need. After all, let's not forget who the recipients of this generous welfare are. To speak bluntly and honestly, they are the victims of the rich class in this country. Whether it is due to racism, lack of education, or other discriminatory practices, poor people have been unfairly treated by this country's wealthy, who refuse to pay their fair share.
All of us have a moral obligation and responsibility to help those who are less fortunate then ourselves, due to circumstances that are not their fault and beyond their control. Personally, I have tried to set an example, by giving as much as I can from my own stash. But if we are to succeed in eliminating poverty in this great nation, as well as capturing the votes of those who are dependent on me, we must all sacrifice for the good of the collective.

So I had lunch with Tamer the other day and tried the Power Balance on him. He said it was bull crap and it was all the placebo effect. I told him I was going to put it in his hand and he said I shouldn't have told him that because now he's going to think he was going to do it and he would be able to do it. I tested it on him and it didn't work...He couldn't balance, why? Because I put a fake band in his hands, when I put the real one in his hands I pushed down really hard and he didn't tip not even a little.
So then Tamer called me while I was eating and told me he was with friends (the one being tested on is Cetin, pronounced "CHE-TIN", and the other friend is Cem, pronounced "JEM") and that Tamer made a bet with Cetin that it did work. I went out in my pajamas. Cetin and Cem thought it was bull crap, I think the last words of the video were as stated "what the f*ck?!".

From my personal experience, the power balance does work, whether it's a placebo effect or not it works. From the subjects I have tested this on, it worked on 90% of the subjects. I tried it on Chris and it didn't work at all. Either he has no potential strength because I used minimal effort to push him down on both tries and he tipped over on the strength test, or he just didn't try because it required more strength for me to push down my 12 year old cousin and a 100 pound girl.

Relatively few organizations are making good use of gobs of log data they collect for purposes such as identifying attackers, according to a survey of 600-plus IT professionals by security outfit SANS.
According to the SANS Analyst Program survey on log and event management, "Sorting through the Noise," 22 percent of respondents use a security information and event manager (SIEM) to collect and analyze data, while 58 percent use log-management systems, and the remainder rely on other means. Most respondents said one of the main reasons to collect logs is for the purpose of regulatory compliance, though 9 percent discounted the importance of that.
[ InfoWorld Test Center reviews leading log-management solutions. Find out which one came out on top. | Prevent corporate data leaks with Roger Grimes' "Data Loss Prevention Deep Dive" PDF expert guide, only from InfoWorld. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
BACKGROUND: Meeting data privacy, residency and security requirements in the cloud
As in previous years that SANS has done this type of survey, virtually all the respondents said that "detecting and tracking suspicious behavior was important." But according to SANS, there's evidence that insufficient time is being spent in actually analyzing the collected log data.
"The data suggests that respondents are having difficulty separating normal traffic from suspicious traffic," said Jerry Shenk, author of the SANS report. "They need advanced correlation and analysis capabilities to shut out the noise and get the actionable information they need. But first they need to get more familiar with their logs and baseline what is normal."
The key issue in log analysis was cited to be "indication of key events from normal background activity" and "correlation of information from multiple sources." According to the survey, organizations are typically collecting log data from Windows and Unix-type servers, security devices, network equipment such as switches and routers, intrusion-detection systems and antivirus and other security applications, and virtualized servers and hypervisors, as well as desktops and laptops.
Organizations want to detect suspicious activity but when the IT professionals were asked how much time they normally spend on log-data analysis, the largest group (35 percent) replied, "none to a few hours per week." As for the rest, 18 percent didn't know, 11 percent said one day per week, 2 percent outsourced this task to a managed security service provider, and 24 percent defined it as "integrated into normal workflow." The SANS survey report, which notes analysis time overall actually seems down from last year, noted that about 50 percent of the smaller organizations spent zero to just a few hours analyzing logs.

Much has been made about the proposed Boeing 777X's attractiveness to the big Middle Eastern carriers, but the type and the rival Airbus A350-1000 will also have a vast market in the Asia-Pacific, where a large base of 777-300ERs will eventually need replacement.
Data from Flightglobal's Ascend Online database shows that there are 168 -300ERs flying in the Asia-Pacific. The first of these, built in 2003, is flying with Japan Airlines. Thai Airways is the most recent Asia-Pacific recipient of the type, having received two -300ERs in 2013.
Ascend data also shows that there are 89 firm orders for -300ERs in the Asia-Pacific. Air China is the next regional carrier due to receive the type, with the regional order book stretching to 2016, when Garuda Indonesia will receive one -300ER.
Boeing has also received 66 letters of intent (LOIs) for the -300ER, and five carriers hold options for a total of 23 aircraft.
Paul Sheridan, head of consultancy in Asia at Flightglobal's Ascend division, suggests that the advent of the 777X will reduce the chances that these LOIs and options for the -300ER will be exercised.
"The impact of the 777X will occur fairly quickly," he says. An airline looking at the prospect of the -300ER in 2018 or waiting one year for the 777X, he adds, could well decide to wait a year for the more modern aircraft.
"Boeing needs to get moving pretty fast or Airbus will pitch the A350-1000 to everyone," says Sheridan. "The 777-300ER is massively successful, but Boeing needs to ensure they continue to compete."
Airbus plans for the A350-1000 to enter service in 2017, two years before the 777X. It has received 110 orders for the type globally, of which 36 are from the Asia-Pacific. Asiana Airlines has ordered 10, and Cathay Pacific 26.
Ascend data shows that Asiana is scheduled to receive one A350-1000 in 2018, while Cathay should receive six. All 36 A350-1000s the pair have ordered should be delivered by 2021.
In the next decade, the region's early adopters of the -300ER such as Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, Eva Air and Singapore Airlines will be looking at replacement options.
The replacement market alone for -300ERs in the Asia-Pacific is likely to amount to 250-300 aircraft. Given the region's strong traffic growth, the total Asia-Pacific market for the 777X and A350-1000 could come up to over 300 aircraft.

Nobel prize winner Peter Diamond has withdrawn his nomination to the Federal Reserve, citing opposition by Senate Republicans.
A Nobel Prize-winning economist who President Barack Obama nominated to the Federal Reserve Board says he understands why despite his accolades the position is out of his reach, at least for now.
Three economists will share the 2010 Nobel Prize for their work on how government policy affects unemployment, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced on Monday.
President Obama's three picks for seats on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors told lawmakers Thursday that they would implement lessons learned from the financial crisis.
After months of speculation, President Obama finally named names on Thursday, saying who he plans to nominate to the Federal Reserve's board of governors.

Class 3-A got underway Thursday night with top seeded Iowa City West facing Cedar Rapids Washington.
West got on the scoreboard first as Ben Troester knocked home the penalty kick. The Trojans would win 3-0 and would face the winner of Cedar Rapids Kennedy and Sioux City West.
In the first half, off the free kick, Kennedy's Andrew Sheeley just gets it over the goalkeeper.
The Cougars would go on to get the 2-1 win.
Earlier in the day -- in Class 2-A -- Waverly-Shell rock would go after their first win in the tournament, facing ADM.
Go-Hawks already up 2-0 in the second half as Tanner Hanks drives one home. The Go-Hawks get it done 3-1.
In class 1-A, top seeded Dyersville Beckman against Des Moines Christian.
Beckman's Adam Noethe broke up a scoreless tie late in the first half as the Blazers moved on with a 3-0 win.
But the tourney would end for the defending 1-A champion Columbus Sailors.
West Liberty's Rafael Ibarra would give the comets a 2-0 second half lead -- as they'd hold on for the 2-1 win.

A: A nice dark brown body with a long lasting frothy tan head. Good lacing. Seemed to have a nice level of viscosity.
S: Initially there was a nice blend of roasted a dark chocolate malts, but there was a hint of smoke and coffee. While the roasted malts seemed to dominate there was enough subtitles from the other notes to make it work.
T: A little more dark chocolate than I expected. Still heavy in the roasted malts, but the chocolate added a delicate sweetness. Mild flavors of coffee and smoke.
M: Although easy to drink and very smooth the beer did have some body to it. A nice dry finish
O: Really enjoyed this beer. A well balanced flavor that complemented the aroma.

Sampled on-tap at Summer Camp 2006. Arrived a nice dark black with brown edges and a nice cap of khaki foam. Albeit this was in a plastic cup...it still managed to look good. Aroma was big roastiness coupled with an awesome fresh brewed coffee bean following. A bit of chocolate and a slight creaminess.
First sip brings a smooth roasted malt upfront that quickly segways into a rush of brewed coffee flavor. I was plesantly suprised by the rich, forward coffee flavor here. Goes down with a hint of chocolate and a lingering roasted coffee bean finish. Overall, a tasty coffee stout and a great beer find at a festival.
Mouthfeel was medium bodied and smooth with a slight creamy aspect. Not overly heavy, but still had enough to make itself known. Even in the oppresively hot sun this was still tasty. I'm hoping to try it again sometime and I could see myself having a few. If you enjoy coffee stouts I'd say give this one a go!

Thats pretty much a big ol coffee beer alll right. Big aroma of roasted coffee, fortunately not too bitter. Clearly the fact that its one of BRs regular brews has meant theyve kept working on it. The brewmaster told me hes had some business types slam three or four pints of this the night before a big presentation, then call back to complain that they couldnt get to sleep at all. So he makes sure everybody knows that this not a "coffee roast malt" beer; this is a beer with lots of coffee in it! And its pretty tasty, too.

Appeared very dark, almost black.
Smelled like semi-burnt, weak coffee, and the taste was much the same. I could not fish out any other flavors besides the burnt coffee flavor, and I may as well have been drinking coffee.
I have enjoyed coffee stouts in the past, but this one was a bit too one-dimensional for repeated tastings. Judging from the other higher scores, I may have had a bad pour, but I don't think so.

Poured a dark brown color with a suprising amount of transperancy for a stout. With a nice inch of tan head.
Smell was very nice, hints of bitter chocolate, heavy coffee odors and some nice burnt malts dominating.
Taste was dominated by the coffee. A little bit of bitter dark malts, but mostly coffee flavors coming through.
Mouthfeel was very thin and watery, the one real downfall to this beer.
Drinkability was fine, I just expect a little more substance from a stout.

Pours a nice light brown to black with a quickly dissipating head.
Smells of oatmeal, chocolate, and roasted malt are most prevalent.
Flavors of the oatmeal and chocolate are perfectly balanced with a roasted malt/nutty back bone.
Mouthfeel is where this one lost a couple of points, it was a bit thin for my taste in stouts.
Overall an excellent oatmeal stout and it's always great to support local!

On tap at Green Lady for the "South of 80" event. Served in a narrow fluted tulip, review from notes.
Black body fades into a dark burnt sienna brown around the edges, topped with a thin wispy skim of tan foam across the surface.
Mellow roast malt and coffee notes, rich but subtle.
Flavor is big on coffee, mellow and roasty malts, and is smooth and light bodied. Light lingering bitterness from the coffee i'd guess. Wholesome and satisfying, equal parts roast malt and bitter coffee, hints of dark chocolate, smooth and integrated feel. Seemingly simple, yet well crafted and enjoyable. Definitely something to see out, a solid coffee stout from Bent River.

Growlers of this beer don't last long at my house. The beer is black and pours with a beautiful dark brown head that clings to the glass as you tip it. Smells like a warm cup of java.
The coffee taste *is* very strong and is followed by just a hint of grain on the back, but I like that. I hearken this to a very sweet milk stout, just replace the sweet with coffee.
The body is okay for a stout, but is more like a porter.
This is a great beer to drink when you are eating a sweeter baked items, like muffins or rolls.

No one said it would be easy for the Browns' young offense.
Pat Shurmur and the Browns' culture of losing
The culture of losing is so deeply embedded within the Browns' organization that it is hard to imagine any other reality for them.

Roger Goodell and four players whose suspensions in connection with the bounty investigation were lifted by an appeals panel have agreed to new meetings.
LB Fujita back on Browns' roster
The NFL lifted the roster exemption Tuesday for the Scot Fujta, who had the his suspension for his role in the Saints' bounty scandal lifted last week.

Browns' Modell tribute cancelled at son's request
The Browns will not hold a public pregame tribute to Art Modell at the request of the late NFL owner's son, multiple media outlets reported.
Browns plan 'appropriate recognition' for Modell
The Browns plan to have an "appropriate recognition" for former owner Art Modell, who died on Thursday.
Modell's passing a chance for Browns fans to move on
Now that Cleveland's Public Enemy No. 1, Art Modell, has passed away, it's time for Browns fans to forget about the past and look forward.
Haslam is working with cautiously optimistic fan base in Cleveland
For a franchise as tortured as the Browns, new owner Jimmy Haslam III truly just has to win to make believers of the club's fans.
The Cleveland Browns have placed linebacker James-Michael Johnson and defensive back T.J. Ward on injured reserve with knee injuries.||||||| Both Johnson, a rookie, and Ward were starters for a defense that allows 22.1 points per game. Ward had 68 tackles and one interception.
Ward has appealed a $25,000 fine for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Sunday at Dallas, and said the NFL's rules on vicious hits need to be changed.||||||| Ward received a letter from the league on Wednesday informing him of the penalty for hitting Cowboys wide receiver Kevin Ogletree. Ward said replays conclusively show he did not touch any part of Ogletree's head. Ward said Ogletree was falling as he delivered his hit, which made it appear worse than it was.

Ward is not practicing again and will likely miss Sunday's game against St. Louis.||||||| Ward sustained an unspecified foot injury last week in Houston and was placed in a cast. He has not been seen at the team's training facility all week. Usama Young will likely fill in for Ward. Young was practicing with the first-team defense on Friday after sitting out the past two days with a hip injury.
Ward's right foot remains immobilized inside a cast, leaving Cleveland's secondary with a very noticeable limp.||||||| Ward missed his second day of practice Thursday with the injury he sustained last week in Houston, and coach Pat Shurmur said there's a "very good chance" the hard-hitting safety will not play Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. "I don't want to rule him out yet," Shurmur said.

Priverida has strong teaching skills, but she is a hard grader---not bad to look at either.
Really good teacher, provides many different points of view and life experience examples when possible. Always cheerful! I wish more professors were like her. Tests are pretty easy if you read and do the study guide. I would recommend Dr.Prividera to any one majoring in Communication.
she is ok as teacher nothing great. i did hate dgoing to class because she is fake. you can tell by the tone of her voice when she speaks its a put on. she also needs to realize that comm is a required course and not everyones major, so comm is not my life. chem is a little more important tan comm to some people.
She is a really great teacher and is one of the few profs i have had thats relates to students well. She is very understanding and will give you test questions on a regular basis if you go to class. I would strongly suggest her. She does a good job at making class interesting and making the material understandable.
I can go ahead and say she is a very good teacher BUT for the gender comm class I would not recommend taking her. She is so pro women it makes taking her class as a male akward and disheartend. one would think a class on gender bias wouldnt be so centered on making everyone think the world is out to get women. the text book is awful.
It would be nice if she stopped talking about her self and teach for a little while. How many times do we have to hear about how many awards she has won?
I've had a lot of professors but I can confidently say that Dr. Prividera is one of the most exceptional instructors I've ever known. You will learn, you will not be bored, you will look forward to class, and you will get the grade you deserve. If they were all like her you'd never want to graduate.
She is amazing! If you come to class and take the notes the three tests will not be a problem! She does a great job of making this class interesting, she seems very passionate about what she teaches which is a huge plus. You don't wanna listen to professor who doesn't care about what they teach right???
Dr. Priv is good. She is very outgoing, a little loud sometimes, but she is a fun teacher. She tries to learn your name even though it's a huge class which by the way makes people a little more shy than usual.
Dr. Prividera is my absolute favorite professor here! I'm even smiling as I type this! She's so helpful. Attendance is a must because she doesn't place the powerpoints online. Take tedious notes and study everything and you're good! Ask questions about the study guides if unclear-- it pays off later.
Professor Prividera is a fantastic teacher! She answers all your questions before you ever ask...she's very thorough! The class was very interesting & the topics discussed were easy to relate to! There are 3 exams which are straight from the notes, & she gives lots of examples to help you understand! Pay attention & study & you're sure to get an A!
Great Teacher. Really knows her stuff. Very energetic and seems genuinely happy to be teaching communication. If you go to class and take notes the exams should be no problem and she sends out studying guides. She gives you chances to ask questions and talk to her about things you dont understand. I definately recommend her.
Great teacher. Very energetic. She only has 3 tests, but she's good. If you come to class and pay attention and take notes, you'll be fine :)
Comm 1000
Best teacher i've ever had in my life...Excellent energy and its not a difficult class...HIGHLY recommend--seriously-- she's a great professor
Comm 1001
Excellent professor and if u come to class you will do fine!

I like this class and the open forum.
gender comm
I did not care for her and I feel that she did not care for me or my ideas. Some people like her, but I bet she liked them as well. I never did anything to her to deserve a C in her esy class. I turned in everything and I was nearly always there for class. Just don't wast your time.
Gender COMM
Awesome teacher! Definitely one of my favorite teachers in the comm department. Very interesting class, the discussions are great! Dr. Privedera is very intelligent. Tests aren't easy, but she gives you a study guide. Definitely take this class with her!
Fun class. She has a lot of energy and a lot to say. She is very intellegent and enjoys talking to students. I interviewed her for a project in another class and she spend several hours chatting with me about her feminist views, which really helped me out and had nothing to do with her own class.

Wallace was 16 of 41 for 177 yards with one INT in a 13-9 loss Sunday to Pittsburgh. He was the Browns' top rusher with 44 yards on three carries.||||||| Wallace was starting for the Browns because Colt McCoy was out and he has no fantasy future.
Wallace was 19 of 33 for 147 yards with one TD and one INT in Cleveland's 20-14 loss at Baltimore on Saturday. He added a five-yard rush.||||||| Wallace would be a bad choice for fantasy players next week against the Steelers' vaunted defense.
Wallace has agreed to terms on a new contract with the team, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Thursday night.||||||| The career NFL backup was 1-3 after replacing starter Jake Delhomme, who injured his ankle in the season opener. Wallace was then sidelined after a similar ankle injury on Oct. 10. Wallace recently said he wanted to compete for a starting job, and when the Browns indicated that Colt McCoy will likely be their No. 1 QB next season, it was assumed Wallace would sign elsewhere.
Wallace is active for the first time since Oct. 10 and will be Cleveland rookie quarterback Colt McCoy's backup against the New York Jets.||||||| Wallace has been sidelined with a high ankle sprain suffered in the first half last month against the Atlanta Falcons.

Is the Alkaline Diet the secret to weightloss success?
Jan Brehm was sidelined by a mysterious illness for years, "I have been in emergency three times thinking I had a heart attack and it was acid." Jan thought her eating habits could be to blame. She had heard about the Alkaline diet and decided to try it out. Registered Dietician Erin Palinski says it's based on the philosophy that what we eat and drink affects our body chemistry, or PH level, which is naturally alkaline." The people that promote the alkaline diet state that by being able to increase your intake of alkaline forming foods, and decrease your intake of acidic foods.
Promoting things like weight loss, improved immunity and even disease prevention. Celebrity nutritionist Dr. Lindsey Duncan is a proponent of the Alkaline Diet. He says our meals are increasingly acidic and our bodies are paying the price, "Cardiovascular disease, depression, forgetfulness, poor mood, mind, memory." To reverse this, Dr. Duncan recommends avoiding meals packed with acidic foods such as wheat, dairy, meat, fish, sugar and caffeine. Instead he says load up on PH balancers, "Anything that's dark, leafy, and green. The general rule of thumb is the more bitter your foods, the more alkaline."
Other examples include: watermelon, almonds, oranges and apples. Jan says she felt a difference within days of making the switch, "Not only does the fatigue lift, but the mood shift, energy."
While the Alkaline diet dishes up healthy foods with actual science, when it comes to PH levels Registered Dietician Erin Palinski says, "There's been no human medical research studies that have proven any of the claims of the alkaline diet. Our body really naturally, unless we have some kind of health problem, is going to keep our pH within the optimal level."
She says the diet can also be restrictive and some take it to the extreme by consuming supplements that promise to boost your PH or even ingesting baking soda, "This can make the body too alkaline and bring it outside of the optimal range, and that can actually have potentially deadly side effects."
Dr. Duncan says there are plenty of studies that show the health benefits of Alkaline foods, "The proper ratio of food is 70-75% alkaline and 25-30% acid." While experts continue to debate the food and PH level connection, Jan is a believer, "All I have is what I've experienced and the difference that I feel is night and day."
Some Alkaline dieters test their PH daily with strips, which are available at the drugstore. As always it's important to fill your doctor in on any diet you are trying.

- American agriculture has experienced a boom, with market values of crops, livestock and total agricultural products reaching record highs even as the amount of U.S. farmland declined. A new government survey says the number of U.S. farms dropped to 2.1 million in 2012, about a 4 percent drop from five years earlier. But some of the big farms got bigger. The average farm grew from 418 to 434 acres. The survey is taken every five years.

Both D&P and Matt are distancing themselves from the manosphere. I'm not going to bother with Matt's criticisms, which focus on two particular bloggers, other than to say, why would a man get in the middle of a cat fight? But I would like to comment on two of the reasons Mike cites, not out of disagreement, but because it provides a springboard for my thoughts.
Secondly, there are too many frauds in the manosphere to count.
There are probably frauds in the manosphere, as in any other internet community. For reasons I don't understand, some people like to lie to strangers on the internet.
But I think another problem is people thinking bloggers have some kind of great insight on what they write about, when they probably aren't. "Authorities" on subjects usually have better distribution channels than small blogs in marginal internet communities.
Since the beginning, I've tried to be as honest as possible about myself (of course, everyone's self-image departs from reality to some degree, although, I try to be as objective as possible regarding myself), but even so, I do still try to paint myself in the best light the truth will allow. This blog started as a self-improvement blog because I was an unhappy loser; I still struggle with self-improvement, but it has since moved on to other topics, because if it didn't this blog would simply become a log of my progress on squats.
My blog is mostly me figuring things out for myself or sharing ideas I've thought of.
I'm use it's the same for many in the manosphere, or elsewhere.
In some cases, the perception of fraud could just be some people attributing more authority to a person than they'd claim for themselves.
Third, there are too many articles complaining about feminism.
This complaint and the related complaint of "everybody keeps rehashing the same things" are frequent around the manosphere.
We'll deal with the latter first: the manosphere is primarily about self-improvement, but there is only so much you can say about self-improvement. How many different ways can you repeat buy Starting Strength and start lifting, eat better, and don't be a pussy. At some point there's simply nothing more to say that hasn't already been said.
The manosphere's well past the point of diminishing returns. Everything that needs to be said, has probably been said by someone else already. Each individual blogger is going to reach the point where they've shared all the knowledge of self-improvement they have.I most of my practical advice into a series of a dozen posts. Now, I'm sure I'll probably be able to add small things in the future, but I've mostly blown my wad in that area.
After that point, it's mostly repetition, but that doesn't matter. The hard part of self-improvement has never been knowing what to do, everybody knows what to do: eat better, exercise, read more and better material, get some hobbies, and nut up and talk to that girl. Every blue-pill beta, every omega, knows they should do that. The problem isn't knowing what to do, it's doing it.
The repetition is necessary, because it motivates. I read the manosphere for a year and half before I started to life. I heard the message to lift uncountable times; but it wasn't until the uncountable+1 times I read it that I actually got down to it and lifted.
All this repetition is needed more for encouragement and drive than for the actual knowledge itself.
In addition, new people are always cycling in and out of the manosphere. New people need to hear the basics just as much as those who've been here; what's a repetition for some, may be new information for others.
As for the attacks on feminism, the answer is the same: you might have seen dozens of arguments concerning feminism, solipsism, the feminine imperative, hypergamy, and so on, but for most people, soft feminism is in everything they do and see; they have not been exposed to alternatives to it. People new to the manosphere need to discover these things as well.
Not to mention, that if we want to accomplish something for society rather than just getting our own, a sustained attack on false ideologies is necessary. We need to keep building our ideas, not just ourselves.
As well, sometimes you just need to vent and there's nothing wrong with that.

How the incompetent George War-Criminal Bush ever managed to have the chance to become President, is beyond me.
The fact that he will leave, a FREE man, with tax-payers benefits, not to mention the millions in payback comming his way for favors rendered, at America's expense, is unbelievable.
This experiment we call the USA cannot survive without a smarter & thinking citizenry, willing to hold its misleaders accountable.
By elizabeth, January 14, 2009 at 7:48 am Link to this comment
For the proper accusation of Kerry in 2004 against "Arrogant Foreign Policy" I agree that Bush's head is very swelled with his overbloated red ink in the trillions deficit spending of unearned taxes and military offensives worldwide, to the level of the SHOE FITS Bush.
He does not deserve any courtesy.
I applaud the two shoes thrown, it is an understatement, yet the shoe fits.
Moving forward OBAMA is not deserving of any more respect than BUSH and, even LESS not more.
Why the media loves the idiots more than democracy for the capable BEST to be elected, I do not have any clue. I have a journalism degree and am very very very upset with the media. They are criminals as much as Bush, Cheney, and Obama.
The Bailouts are illegal also.
As is the war in Iraq which the shoe thrower journalist who lost his family KNOWS. He is correct to have done a low level "violent" act against Bush.
Bush should be shot or hung.
But IMPEACHMENT with proper non violent justice is the TRUE CORRECT ACTION WAY OVERDUE.thers

Notes & Reviews:
Composer Andrew Violette's tenth album for innova Recordings arrives from over the broad horizon, to reveal a wealth of strange stories and images of its tumultuous voyage. At least, this is the best we can surmise. This album arrived bundled with a scrawled note from the composer himself, quoting Michelangelo and waving good-bye as he set off from the Island of Cythera. "Violette's new sound world is simultaneously restless and strangely comforting." - Frank Oteri, New Music BoxNotes & Reviews:

I have been collecting vinyl records since the mid 1960′s, or at least buying them. One day during my college years I realized I had enough to call it a "collection". Many years later I opened up a record store called Missing Link Records in Indianapolis.
Along the way, I began poking around at local releases, mostly out of curiosity. Until the advent of punk and new wave and the DIY ethic, though, I never really gave much credence to local releases. The record release was largely the province of the Major Label; anything released locally I considered to be "inferior" in some way, because naively, I thought that the major labels would sniff out anything good and release it themselves.
Ridiculous thought, in hindsight. Especially when considering that in the 1950′s and 1960′s, a huge number of 45′s were released by local/private labels and the bands themselves. Prior to the advent of big FM stations, hits were generated locally and regionally, with a select few breaking through nationally.
The sheer marketing power of the major labels and the increasing corporatization/homogenization of music radio, however, overwhelmed the notion that something good could come of a local label. By the mid 1970′s the local release was lost in the shuffle.
Then came punk and new wave in the late 1970′s, as youthful musicians moved into full on rebellion against disco and other forms of commercial, mainstream music. That's when bands really took matters in their own hands, and the result was many local releases, beginning in the late 1970′s. Most of these were 45′s or cassettes, though. The lp was out of reach for most due to cost.
While recording and releasing a record or CD is relatively cheap and easy today, it was not so until recently. Until the advent of digital recording in the 1990′s, quality recording equipment costs many thousands of dollars, hence this was another barrier to entry for local labels. Only recording studios owned recording equipment and musicians were forced to go there to record, and everyone knows that most musicians are not well heeled.
So the typical band would record a few songs and release a 45, because it was way more affordable. Nonetheless, there were many hundreds, possibly more than 1000 privately pressed lp's released in Indiana prior to 1990. This does not include religious or school records; if those were included the numbers would increase many-fold.
And thus begins the adventure of documenting what's been released.

I did this last year and got a decent amount of feedback and responses, so we will try it again. I basically want to go through the schedule this year and break down really what I think will be Iowa's toughest/most important games this season.
Looking at our schedule, I already realize that we got lucky. No Wisconsin, no Ohio State, and to a lesser degree, no Illinois. Same story as last year, but after the result of last season we need all the breaks we can get. Even better for us, some teams that may have been considered elite a couple years ago may be in rebuilding seasons, making our schedule a little more doable. So, without further ado, here are my toughest games of 2012, with % chance of win following:
1. Iowa @ Michigan: 40%
Michigan is good again, and if their team is anything like last year's, Iowa will have another tough time with them. Somehow the Hawks eeked out a win last year, but being at the Big House and playing a team that won 11 games last year makes this my toughest game on the schedule.
2. Iowa vs. Nebraska: 49%
This game is going to be crazy. B1G finale, Friday primetime, Thanksgiving weekend, AT Kinnick. This Nebraska team probably doesn't have quite the offensive firepower they had last year (which really wasn't even that fantastic last year) although their defense may be just as good. I still think it would be an upset if Iowa won, but it's basically a toss-up.
3. Iowa @ Michigan State: 52%
Trying to replace a 3 year quarterback along with the backfield and some more weapons both offensively and defensively is tough. Iowa had to do it after 2009. I think it will be a tough game, being on the road, but I feel Iowa can outscore them with a decent showing on offense, although this is another toss-up.
4. Iowa vs. Iowa State: 55%
This could actually be the toughest game of the year. Iowa State is on a roll. Paul Rhoads has led his team to 2 bowls in 3 seasons as head coach and he's done it with a top-5 toughest schedule in the nation each of those 3 years. I feel like Iowa can win it in Kinnick, but it's not the same Cyclone team as it used to be.
5. Iowa vs. Penn State: 57%
Penn State has so much hanging over their heads that this season could be a looooooong season. They had a decent year last season but I feel like there is not enough incoming talent or depth to beat Iowa. If this game was at Penn State I wouldn't be as confident, but I think the home crowd under the lights will help.
6. Iowa @ Northwestern: 60%
No doubt that Iowa has more talent than jNW, it's just the curse that I'm worried about. Yes, it might have been broken last year, but they are still a tough team. Since it's at Northwestern, I have a bit more concern than maybe I should.
7. Iowa vs. Purdue: 63%
The Boilermakers actually had a pretty good year last year, but they don't match up well with Iowa. I don't really think this game is too difficult, but they are on the rise.
8. Iowa vs. NIU: 70%
NIU won the MAC(?) last year and had a 10-win season (maybe 11?). It's a good team, but they also just lost 4 of their starting linemen and the offense returns something like 4 starters. I think Iowa will certainly outscore this team.
9. Iowa vs. Minnesota: 71%
If Minnesota beats Iowa for the 3rd year in a row, Ferentz gets fired after this game.
10. Iowa vs. UNI: 75%
Fantastic FCS team that gave Iowa a scare a few years ago, but Iowa is going to be prepared this time around. UNI simply doesn't have the depth to keep up with Iowa.
11. Iowa @ Indiana: 85%
They won 1 game last year. If they win 1 game this year, it won't be against Iowa.
12. Iowa vs. Central Michigan: 99%
I can picture how this game goes in my head right now. Ball State, Tennessee Tech, etc. This is the punching bag of the year.
So, there you have it. I want to see what your toughest games of the year are. You can post your rankings in the comments or vote in the poll. Or you can tell me how terrible my predictions are. By no means do I think Iowa will go 10-2 this year, but I do think Iowa should be favored in 8-10 of their games. Discuss.

Specifying a performance palette
The JuxtaLearn project requires us to specify performance factors for video-making of tricky STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) topics that students are learning. The idea is that first the teacher gives a lesson on the topic, and then the students collaboratively create a video to explain the topic themselves. So there's this juxtaposition between the perceived dryness of STEM subjects and the creativity of performance. And the learning comes as they grapple with the concept, find the words – perhaps new words – to explain it to each other, and to find a creative means of explaining it more widely in a performance format – i.e. a video.
So how do we set up a system to support a school or university in making such videos? I shared initial ideas with colleagues (see the performance specification video at https://vimeo.com/82879649) and got some feedback. After adapting slightly, I've uploaded some ideas at slideshare.net at ….
Does this make sense to other readers?
Obliged to blog?
I blog without obligation, as and when I've something to blog about. During my PhD, blogging started me writing, recording the process, thoughts and ideas that sometimes were worth remembering, Now, at post-doc, it's different.
One reason it's different is that post-doc research isn't lonely, not a one-man job like a PhD is, but team-work, so thoughts and ideas can be, nay, must be shared, with team members, and loneliness no longer provides that need to blog to someone, anyone in the world who might know something about your topic and be interested enough to reply.
Another reason that makes blogging different post-PhD is that being team work, it's not for one person to make public what is the team's effort. For example, I'm on an EU project called JuxtaLearn, and its news and progress is recorded on its website at http://juxtalearn.org/joomla/. The initial news as the project started was available on the various university web sites, such as the Open University's Institute of Educational Technology at http://www.open.ac.uk/iet/main/research-innovation/research-projects/juxtalearn and http://www3.open.ac.uk/media/fullstory.aspx?id=23649. Gradually more partners are posting news about progress, such as the SME partner, Catcher Media, and the JuxtaLearn website will have news items and a blog .
I've got work to think through and develop for this project – I have to write guidelines to making a JuxtaLearn video performance – step 4 of the process that you can see in this diagram.
I've started discussing these guidelines with some team members, but a team of European universities (in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Sweden & the UK) and an English SME is spread far and wide. Now guidelines must be read by people who need guiding, and I need to know they work before giving them out as definitive, so I'm going to be blogging these guidelines. Whether I blog here, or on the JuxtaLearn site, is not yet clear. But now that I have something to blog about. I'll let you know.
PhD: a waste of time, money and energy?
Two years after completing my PhD, I compare work with expectations. Several fellow PhD students went on to teach, though that stints their opportunities to research and publish. If you like teaching, carry on. But some don't want to teach.
One of my colleagues, having taught for a couple of years did some interesting work though a voluntary position (the Olympic games), presented her findings at conferences, and has now got a research position, but as self-employed. Another sadly, was rejected for a Research Associate position and having no renewed teaching contract, right now doesn't know what to do for a job. She assesses doing a PhD as a waste of time, money and energy so far.
I don't think the PhD was a waste of money, time and energy for me. I had a scholarship, which was worth a lot, so I was prepared to invest my time and energy on the learning process. Mind you, the way I would have earned it, teaching ICT in a local school would have required a lot more energy and driven me to a nervous breakdown. In fact, now I have skills that I would like to go back to the school with and share with my students: public speaking, the use of technology in the classroom such as getting them to use their phones to photograph the board or record discussions, research skills such as searching on line for information. But I am not going back to a secondary school classroom. I'll plod on with what I'm doing. You know, some people do two PhDs, and I know that if I could get the funding again, in a fun subject, then I'd seriously consider doing that!
But on the other hand, now I find I enjoy working with others in a research team and learning collaborative skills, collaboratively.
Inter-disciplined research
Do you find you're now working on something you never thought you would when you were planning your career? The variety of experience that you accumulate might allow for creativity; playful combinations create new ideas (Mednick, 1962). Working across disciplines allows you to bring ideas from one experience to another. You're being a boundary creature (Adams, 2013).
As a research associate, it's wonderful to be working with other people instead of isolated on a PhD. A PhD should be a research apprenticeship, but an apprentice learns sitting next to Nellie, not in isolation. Now I learn from the others around me, work in a team with people who have experience in other disciplines, and share my scribbles with peers not just supervisors. Now, I see project management in action having been exposed to the vagaries and wonders of electronic portals such as Glasscubes and Box.com.
Interdisciplinarity becomes important now. My PhD was under the auspices of the business school, proposed from my business experience but I worked in business IT; I can program and analyse, which is why I now tutor so many technical and computing courses, and I've achieved my aim – to be a hybrid. However, in moving between disciplines, I realise that I don't know how to access some papers, such as the ACM conference papers, which are very important in my new fields. Indeed, I don't know the fields well enough to realise when a pair of words represent an important concept, not just a piece of management speak. For instance, an EU deliverable requires identification and specification of "orchestration factors". For four days, I meandered around the wrong literature looking for "orchestration". Thank goodness for team work – a colleague said, "Dillenbourg" and I was immediately into the right realm.
Interdisciplinarity then comes with advantages and disadvantages, pitfalls and pleasures. Enjoy the pleasures

Learning research post doc
I've been so busy learning about research, researching with others instead of on my own like you do in a PhD that I haven't had time or thoughts to blog. Shortly after my last blog posting, I joined another research team, so I'm now working on two research projects. One is about older people on-line, and one is about juxtaposing learning and performance.
I've been consolidating the learning I did on my PhD but also learning more, like how to run focus groups, and how to set up an analysis database that I must share with others who might want evidence from it. I've used qualitative data analysis software (QDAS) before, and set up codes for analysis, but not shared my codes. For example, if you're looking at the advantages of participating on line, an advantage might be physical, and I've created a node in the database called 'physical'. But that's not enough to share with someone else. Like using one character identifiers for variables in programming code, it's not self-descriptive, and I must rename it 'physicalDifficultiesSurmounted'.
The JuxtaLearn project is an EU project and seems to involve an awful lot of paper work and bureaucracy, but then there are lots of people researching together, people from Portugal, Spain, Germany, Sweden as well as the UK, and we all have different things to do. Apparently, what we do comes in work packages (WP) and there are nine or ten work packages, and each work package has deliverables due at various times over the next three years. So you can see that serious project management is needed to pull all these packages together in the right order and on time, or at least in time. It's an interesting project because it is about learning and technology, both of which interest me. Learning's about what people do and I can't think of anything better than researching people and technology.

Early career researcher problems
"Life stuff distracting me from work stuff"
tweeted Katie Wheat in today's Twitter Early Career Researcher chat stream (#ecrChat). Today's Twitter #ecrChat is on the topic of work/life balance, hosted by Andrew Frayn.
At the same time, I was in the middle of an email discussion with a colleague early career researcher who's been offered a full-time one year teaching post at a minor northern university, while she's also got a full-time six month post near home. The poor woman has a dilemma, whether to choose the job close to home but away from a research career, or the lecturer job that should help her to build up an academic career but too far from home.
"We cannot be the only couple in this position, forced to compromise the career of one so that the other may flourish."

Toss the rabbit pieces in the flour and salt and pepper.
Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat, add the butter, and melt. Once the butter has melted, add the rabbit and brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. Add the onions, potatoes, broth, wine, and half of the herbs. Cover and bring to a simmer. Cook the rabbit for 25 minutes, then uncover and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, sprinkle on the remaining herbs, and serve immediately.
