On December 29th 2008, in a game against Cincinnati, then Memphis Tigers Head Coach John Calipari moved struggling shooting guard Tyreke Evans to point guard, unleashing Evans' phenomenal talent...
Side article, but just for comparison's sake, I thought it was interesting that we get a video of Tyreke working on his handles, whereas Wade has a game plan set out for improving on his shooting. Any thoughts from you guys? Granted, we don't know what 'Reke has really been up to so I can't really judge, but I thought this might have some things that are pretty relevant to 'Reke.
Tyreke Evans could possibly be on the way out. Should the Indiana Pacers try and swing a deal for the Kings guard?
I actually like this kid and his game, although he is a bit of a chucker.
Short mix of Reke and how he will return to REKE' ROY form and not be REKE' SOPH. Includes some highlights of him during the lockout. Hope you guys like it, enjoy!
Whats up Kings fans? I'm a writer/illustrator over at Bright Side of the Sun and am currently doing a project where I am doing 30 illustrations (1 player from each of the 30 NBA teams) over 30 days. Day 18 features your own Tyreke Evans and I thought I'd share it with you. Feel free to visit and check out this and more as well as follow the project. Comments are welcome and appreciated. -Dustin

Metabolism is the rate at which your body uses energy, or, burns calories. Your resting metabolism measures the number of calories required to keep your body functioning.
Your metabolism burns calories all the time, whether you're just sitting on the couch or you're jogging around the block.
Even while we sleep our metabolism is working. Your body is using up energy to keep running -- to make your heart beat, your kidneys function, and so on.
Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories you would burn even if you slept all day and night.
Many factors can affect your BMR, including your age, health, stress level, and even the temperature of your environment.
To get a general idea of what your BMR is, multiply your weight by 10. If you weight 150 pounds then your BMR = 150 x 10 kcal/lb = 1,500 kcals (kcals stands for the number calorie burned).
Your true resting metabolic rate will vary from any one else around you. It is influenced mainly by your body size and muscle mass, as well as genetics.
To get a more accurate estimate of your metabolism, a qualified trainer or a registered dietitian can measure it on a small device like a calculator. It will compute the number of calorie you actually burn per minute -- an estimate of your resting metabolism.
Inquire at your local fitness center or hospital to see if they offer this service.

Most Lawyers at Denver's Jacobs Chase Are Joining Husch Blackwell
Posted Jul 14, 2011 6:44 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Although they're not calling it a merger, that's what it effectively is.
Almost all of the lawyers at Denver-based Jacobs Chase, including the two name partners, are joining 600-attorney Husch Blackwell, the Am Law Daily reports.
Four of the firm's 28 lawyers opted for various reasons to pursue other opportunities, the article says.
Dealmaker Paul Jacobs, who like co-founder Jeffrey Chase, will be of counsel to Husch Blackwell, says the move will give the lawyers at his firm more resources to serve clients.
"Our primary focus has always been litigation and real estate," he tells the legal publication. "And, we've never had, for example, a health care group. Well, if we're going to do senior housing, I need a health care group. If we're going to do hotel deals, I need a more sophisticated tax group."

By SAMANTHA MANNING 6 News Reporter
OAK RIDGE (WATE) - As chemical weapons make headlines with the evolving crisis in Syria, 6 News spoke with experts at ORNL about the threat the chemicals pose and how the U.S. is working to destroy its own stockpile.
Greg Zimmerman, the leader for the ORNL Human Health Risk & Environmental Analysis group, said the U.S. is currently in possession of about 3,500 tons of chemical weapons, though the U.S. has never used them.
As part of the Chemical Weapons Convention, the U.S. is working on destroying its chemical weapons and Zimmerman's group assists the army in determining the safest methods for destruction to avoid any negative environmental or health effects.
The U.S. currently has GB, known as Sarin gas; mustard gas; and VX, a venom agent.
"These chemicals were designed to kill people," Zimmerman said. "They're basically weapons of war.
Sarin gas is the same chemical that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Syria used during chemical attacks last month that killed more than 1,400 people.
"They act very much like bug sprays if you've ever sprayed insecticide on an ant or a wasp you'll see how that's very quick and effective," Zimmerman said.
"With Sarin, the amount the size of a pencil eraser is lethal to a human or can be lethal to a human without any antidote administered," ORNL Toxicologist Cheryl Bast said.
"They are indiscriminate killers," Zimmerman said. "They don't just kill military forces but they kill civilians."
Almost 190 countries are part of the chemical weapons convention.

NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) is engaged in the final stages of a comprehensive, agency-wide effort to develop a new strategic plan at a time when its budget is under considerable stress. SMD's Science Plan serves to provide more detail on its four traditional science disciplines - astronomy and astrophysics, solar and space physics (also called heliophysics), planetary science, and Earth remote sensing and related activities - than is possible in the agency-wide Strategic Plan.
Review of the Draft 2014 Science Mission Directorate Science Plan comments on the responsiveness of SMD's Science Plan to the National Research Council's guidance on key science issues and opportunities in recent NRC decadal reports. This study focuses on attention to interdisciplinary aspects and overall scientific balance; identification and exposition of important opportunities for partnerships as well as education and public outreach; and integration of technology development with the science program. The report provides detailed findings and recommendations relating to the draft Science Plan.

hi, im still having issues with the audio, seems like the new firmare update just sorted the bass issue but not the audio interference issue. Nokia if your reading this can you please give an eta on a fix as i cant use it as a music player!!
P.s having owned a htc hd7 the sound clarity on that was heaven sent, even had an equaliser, Nokia please sort these issues out!
20-03-2012 17:56
I also have an issue with the audio. I don't know if you have the same as me. I don't know if it is only with my Lumia or with everybody's phone.
When I plug it on my desktop speakers (or the nokia speakers that came with the Lumia) to play music and I want to go to the next song it makes an odd sound like a desconexion/conexion of the jack.
If I stop the music I hear like a pulse of sound.
Has somebody the same problem?

I am also having problems after the update. I can only hear the back vocals not the main voice. Also the main instruments are not clear just some vocals tones. Seems like there is a filter. I recently moved from an iphone 4 and unfortunately all i see its truble here. welcome to nokia world.
27-03-2012 9:25
Hi cvik2,
Welcome to the Nokia Discussion Boards and thanks for posting.
Are you using your old iPhone earplugs? What you describe is a phase issue which is caused by Apple earphones not being compatible with the Lumia (and other) AHJ standard headphone jacks.
If you have the same effect using any other normal set of headphones have your Lumia checked at a local Nokia Care Point.
Let us know how you get on,

I have Lumia 800, fw: 12070. I have serious issue when I am using std earphones (WH-208) in phone calls:
- the volume + / - buttons are disabled (does not change volume phisically)
- the volume is at the maximum level
- I got serious switching noise when start the call
- volume goes up to max. when I receive and accept a call while I am listening music on Zune
Do you have the same issue or is it particular for my phone only?
Thanks for the comments.

sorry, my original headset is WH-902. It works well when I am listening to Zune music (mp3).
It gives chaterring and noises when sbody calling me and my headset is on my ears. I cannot decrease the volume with the buttons of the phone.
The problem is existing with the phone original fw: xxx.11501 and still existing with the latest one: xxxx.12070.
Nokia Care suggested me to take the phone back to a Nokia Service Center....
I kepp you informed on the progress of the fix.
18-04-2012 8:37
I got the same problem. I have audio interference. I hope Nokia fixs this ASAP
17-05-2012 9:16
It is a good news the issue with headset has been solved, without nokia Care. Honestly, I do not know the reason, but it works fine now, now chatters, my voice is ok for the other parties I am speaking to.
I reviewed my apps, deleted unnecessary beta versions and switched OFF the function Easy Handling - TTY/TDD.
I use the original headset I got with the phone.

There is no way I could do justice to the excitement of the game last night, but in the coming days I will be posting several Sugar Bowl Wallpaper to commemorate last nights huge victory. The first is a pretty simple wallpaper, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. I took the Sugar Bowl logo, and turned it into what it should look like.
Take a look and let me know what you think. Also, let me know who you'd like featured in a Sugar Bowl wallpaper. I plan on doing a few individual, and then a group (5-6 players). Thanks for looking!

Volleyball hosts two A-Sun matches this weekend
Sept. 27, 2007
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -
Complete Release in PDF Format
After going 2-1 in its most recent road trip, the JU volleyball team (7-9, 1-1) will continue Atlantic Sun Conference play this weekend at the friendly confines of Swisher Gymnasium.
The Dolphins begin the week against Mercer (3-12, 1-0) on Friday at 7 p.m. JU will complete the weekend against Kennesaw State (2-15, 0-1) on Saturday at 5 p.m.
Block party continues
JU leads the conference with 2.89 blocks per game, which also ranks them 34th in the nation. The next team in the conference standings, Florida Gulf Coast, checks in with an average of 2.09 blocks per game.
A big jump in the rankings came at the hands of New Orleans as JU's 23 blocks against the Privateers tied a program record which was set by the squad last season at East Tennessee State (Oct. 5).
The Dolphins followed up that effort with 20 blocks at ETSU (Sept. 21), their eighth double figure team effort of the season.
Nation wide Merchant
The Oakley, Calif. native recently checked in at 12th place in the national rankings with an average of 1.63 blocks per game. That same average is also good for first place in the A-Sun.
Merchant also reestablished herself in the JU record book by claiming the match high block record with 15 at ETSU on Sept. 21. Her performance could be construed as a direct response to freshman middle blocker Abby Gruenbacher's 14 block effort in the previous match against New Orleans, which beat the previous mark of 13 by Merchant at ETSU in 2006.
Against ETSU, she set a program record with 15 blocks, 11 kills and a .318 (11-4-22) hitting percentage in a 3-2 loss to the Bucs. Against USC Upstate, Merchant had seven kills, four blocks and a .417 (7-2-12) in a 3-0 win over the Spartans. She finished her weekend with 12 kills, five blocks and a .458 (12-1-24) hitting percentage in a 3-1 win over UNC Asheville. Merchant currently leads the conference with 2.18 blocks per game and is also ninth with a .284 hitting percentage.
Sister act
She has also finished with 30 digs on four occasions this season, including a season-high 32 against Butler and No. 23 Dayton.
Not only that, but Walroth joins fellow teammate Mellisa Merchant in the national rankings as she sits in the 16th spot in digs per game. Even more interesting, she has more company in the national rankings and has competition in the family.
Her sister, Julie, a senior libero at Evansville, and is currently ranked ninth in the nation with an average of 6.09 digs per game.

Uwe Rosler believes Wigan Athletic have signed "one of the country's finest young talents" in Chelsea loanee Josh McEachran.
The 20-year-old midfielder will remain at the DW Stadium for the remainder of the season after failing to make a first-team appearance for Chelsea since Jose Mourinho returned as manager.
McEachran spent 2012-13 on loan at Middlesbrough and played the first half of the current campaign at Watford, where he made seven Championship appearances.
Wigan boss Rosler admits luring McEachran to the Championship club was no easy task, but is delighted to have added the England Under-21 international to his squad in time to feature in the FA Cup fourth-round clash with Crystal Palace this weekend.
"This is a big scoop or us," Rosler told the club's official website.
"There's no doubt Josh is a huge young talent, and we have worked really hard to convince him and Chelsea this is the right place for him to be for the rest of the season.
"I thank everyone for their efforts in making the move happen.
"Hopefully, we will be able to help each other, he can bring something to our team and we can help in the development of one of the country's finest young talents."

Part of being a fan is the ability to wipe the slate clean each year and start afresh. I admit that in the past few years, I've lost some faith in the Dolphins during the season when it became obvious the team was treading water rather than advancing in any way. But every year is new and every team I do believe has the ability to change itself and take on a new direction if enough of the right people are in place - both players and front office/coaching personnel.
So will the 2013 Dolphin team be any different? I say yes.
Many fans will shake their heads and laugh in disbelief that someone like me can be so irrationally positive. What about Ireland as the GM - hasn't he screwed up enough drafts and personnel decisions to prove to you that the ship is going nowhere with his hand on the rudder? Or that the team overpaid in free agency for a one-trick pony WR and some borderline LBs? That the Dolphins couldn't keep their #1 pick Long and let all the leaders on the team walk out the door (or were shown out the door)? That Tannehill faded late in close games and didn't finish out wins like Luck and Wilson did last year/
All true, all true. I can't argue with any of those points above. There are many concerns and signs the team could be headed for another year of running on a treadmill rather than sprinting ahead free from their past.
All teams change over time. When I started watching football in the 70's the Giants, 49ers, and Packers were a joke. Then they weren't. Some teams churn GMs and coaches for years and years until they find the right pair (see the pre-Manning Colts) and the right QB. The fact remains that as a fan, you don't know if the right pieces are in place until you are looking back at the situation after the fact.
Parcells, Sparano, and Henne weren't the answer. Nor were Wannsteadt, Feidler, Speilman, Feeley, Saban, or any other GM/Coach/QB of the last decade. Or Johnson and Marino for that matter. Sometimes when it seems so obvious the perfect fit is in place, a team still doesn't seem to get to where the fans want it to go.
So now we are in the Ireland/Philbin/Tannehill phase. I have questions about all three guys. Ireland still has the stink of Parcells and his 80's brand football on him that he is trying to erase. Philbin came across as unlikable last year on TV with more than a few players seemingly not on board with him. Tannehill...well, I'm a Longhorn, so I'll just leave it at that ;-). Seriously though, after watching him lose a few 4th quarter games last year it reminded me of the Aggies losing 5 games in the second half after leading at halftime in Tannehill's last year there.
Dammit if I liked what I saw last year. And dammit if I like what the Dolphins have done this offseason.
I can really see what Ireland has been planning the last three years. He did throw Sparano under the bus two years ago to start his three year plan. A crappy thing to do to a coach and friend, but as a fan, I have a lot of respect for Ireland to make the tough decisions that year knowing the Dolphins really had no chance to be winners. Pretty sure that wasn't easy for him to do. It would have been easy to go out and get new toys for Philbin last year once he was hired, but again, Ireland held back and signed a bunch of cheap guys to at least try to put an average team on the field while a new culture and schemes where put in place.
So this is year 3 of the plan. What has Ireland done?
Ireland has decided to let go of any player that meets one of these three criteria: 1) If you are a leader on the team and you don't buy into Philbin's system, you are out (Dansby, Long - out); 2) If you are too old to be a core team player for the next 2-5 years, you are out (Fasano, Burnett - out); 3) If you are a borderline head case and can't be depended upon, you are out (Marshall, Davis - out).
I don't have any problems with any of these moves. The Dolphins now have one of the youngest teams in the league, and will most likely get younger with 6-10 rookies making the team this year. And they are Ireland's players. And Philbin's players. The new leaders on the team will be guys who buy into Philbin and Ireland's plan, guys like Wake and Pouncey and Hartline, and Tannehill.
Ireland is also buying in on the new NFL, not the old NFL. Wannsteadt, Saban, and Sparano didn't. Philbin and his staff want to be the Packers and the Saints and the Steelers and the Patriots, not the Lawrence Taylor Giants or the Aikman Cowboys. The Dolphins have gone from two above average receiving threats (Bess and Hartline) to potentially a top 10 passing team in the league with 5 weapons (add in Wallace, Keller, and Gibson). I wouldn't be surprised if they add more still in the draft. I expect to see at least one more WR and another TE added to the roster - and that concern about the Dolphins not having a blocking TE. I don't think Philbin or Ireland care. If a TE is drafted it will be a seam threat TE who can get down the field.
Ireland is banking on the draft. Building from the draft. Sound counter-intuitive? Big spenders in FA obviously, but I think Ireland has planned this year to be the one year exception to the rule. He cleared big space just for this year. He's pushed off the cap hit until year 2, where the Dolphins will again have plenty of cap space due to expiring contracts. 11 picks this year. Players with good potential the last 2 years on board. I wouldn't be surprised if someone isn't traded to add to the draft stock for next year? Does this sound like another team? It does to me - the Patriots. They spend in FA, just very carefully to fill in holes. And they always have more than the 7 draft picks they are allotted. Ireland is fixing some specific holes this year to push Philbin's system forward. Next year I expect the Dolphins to resign the players they want in FA who fit their plan (Jones, Starks) an let players that don't fit in potentially move on (Bess, Incognito). Maybe sign one FA with a splash. But the concentration will be on the draft.
So I see the plan. And I like the plan. Obviously Tannehill has to progress. Obviously the players drafted in the last two drafts have to progress (Vernon, Miller). Obviously Ireland has to nail it this year and next in the draft. But the plan is there, and it is a better plan than I have seen from the team than any over the last 10 years.
My prediction this year is that the Dolphins will be better on offense but not explosive yet. The running game will be comparable to last year with Miller stepping in to replace Bush and the line blocking being slightly better. The passing game will be more explosive with potentially 20 TD's thrown by Tannehill, but there will be some inconsistencies due to the new players and 2nd year growth of the QB. The line play will be improved but still not elite.
The defense will be a top 10 unit that still struggles against the pass. There will be more big plays and turnovers due to increased pressure on the QB and the new zone scheme, but there will be QBs that will still be able to pick the back end apart at times. The rush defense will still be excellent with only a slight drop off with more athletic but less consistent LB play.
Kicking game will be excellent, with Carpenter having a good year and Fields again deserving of a Pro Bowl berth. Return and coverage teams will improve as well with the Dolphins having better depth on the team.
I think the Dolphins will be a lot better in 2013 and definitely more exciting. But the record won't improve much due to the tougher schedule they play this year. Best case scenario is 10-6, but I wouldn't be surprised at an 8-8 season as well, which will make people scream and call for Ireland's head.
Where I see excitement is 2014, year 3 of Philbin and year 3b of Ireland's plan. The young core will have a couple of years in the offensive and defensive schemes. Tannehill will have 32 NFL starts under his belt. The passing game will have a year of working together behind them. The potentially young secondary will have a year of working together to allow for better communication. The team will STILL be incredibly young. Another draft to fill in the remaining few holes that weren't filled long-term by the team in 2013 (OG, TE, S maybe).
So I am optimistic. Maybe irrationally so. Or maybe not enough for some fans. The Dolphins I think will push the Patriots this year until the final few weeks. I think a playoff spot could happen - the AFC is the weaker conference this year. I'd say at this point it's a 50/50 shot. But too many new players, young players, and a young QB will create a year with some highs and lows. In 2014 I see the Dolphins taking the AFC East crown from the Patriots as they start to fade and the Dolphins youth comes into its own under Philbin's coaching.

London Broncos' Kieran Dixon faces a wait to make the England grade, says international coach
Updated 9:54am Friday 10th May 2013 in Sport By Ben Baker
Only Sam Tomkins has scored more Super League tries than Kieran Dixon this season but England head coach Steve McNamara insists the youngster still has some improving to do before he can challenge for international honours.
Still only 20, Dixon has run in 14 tries for the improving London Broncos this season but the winger was not picked by McNamara for the full England squad.
Instead the diminutive speedster remains in the England Knights set-up and, while McNamara admits his displays are certainly catching the eye, he feels there is more to come.
"Kieran was part of our England Knights programme last year," said McNamara, speaking at the grant announcement of Gillette's 'Great Start' programme for 2013.
"He has got an amazing amount of talent and has been scoring tries for fun. I don't like to talk too much about what people can do or can't do but in terms of his rugby league education he's still quite new into Super League.
London calling: Tony Clubb has made three appearances for the England rugby league side, and he is testimony to a London-based player making the grade
"He's pushing very, very hard to get into that top echelon and I'm sure with a little bit more time he will do so. I'm really pleased we've got a lot of players in a lot of positions pushing for places."
Dixon's path to the full international set-up is blocked by the likes of Ryan Hall and Josh Charnley, two proven try scorers both in Super League and the international game.
And, while Dixon's rise has garnered a lot of attention, McNamara is hoping that the Broncos ace can be trailblazer for more rugby league talent to come from the south of the country.
"He's very impressive and there must be a lot more Kieran Dixon's out there. And we want to unearth more of those types of people," he added.
"We all know football is the predominant sport in our country and almost every kid plays football growing up. There are quite a few who do the same with rugby but are exposed to rugby union down south instead of league.
"But we've had a fair bit of success with some London players. Tony Clubb and Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, London born and bred, have played for England and Great Britain.
"Darrell Griffin, Oxford born, has played for Great Britain and Kieran Dixon is now part of our England Knights programme and has a bright future."
Gillette's Great Start programme celebrates the role of coaching and encourages people to get into coaching by offering grants. To apply for a coaching grant visit www.facebook.co.uk/GilletteUK.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - NewsChannel 11 has learned that the City of Lubbock Fire Chief Rhea Cooper has announced that he will be retiring from the Lubbock Fire Department effective December 18, 2009.
Rhea Cooper has served in the Lubbock Fire Department for more than 31 years. He began his career as a fire fighter in 1978, before rising through the ranks to become Deputy Chief of Operations in 1996 and Fire Chief in 2007.
Chief Cooper is the 6th fire chief in the history of the City of Lubbock. Chief Cooper received numerous professional certifications over his career and was awarded the Medal of Valor after the Wylie Propane Plant Fire in February of 2006.
According to a press release from the City of Lubbock, Chief Cooper says, "It has been an honor to serve the community of Lubbock with my fellow firefighters for 31 years, and to work with the City Council and City staff for the last 13 years."
After the chief's retirement, Fire Marshall Mike Kemp will serve as Interim Fire Chief until the City Manager recommends the appointment of a new fire chief.

One of the choicest moments in Al Franken's new documentary "Al Franken: God Spoke," directed by veterans Chris Hegedus and Nick Doob, has been pulled from the film this week due to legal issues. The scene, in which Franken debates Ann Coulter, was apparently excised because the producers could not get clearances to use the footage for the theatrical release.
I don't know for sure -- maybe some intrepid liberal blogger can find out -- but I'd assume Coulter refused to sign a release because Franken makes her look like the wingnut idiot that she is during the debate. When a moderator asks the two nemeses which historical figure they would be, Coulter says she'd be Franklin D. Roosevelt so she could prevent the New Deal. Franken says he'd be Hitler so he could prevent a little thing called "The Holocaust." Point: Franken.
Critics have been advised to "not mention this scene in your reviews or coverage." Apparently, there is still a scene at a press conference with the Coulter and Franken facing off. Let's hope that stays.
Update 8/30: Click here.
Donna Ellis | August 30, 2006 3:39 AM
Why would they need clearances if this is a documentary? If it was broadcast, and someone owns the broadcast copyright, isn't it true that the clearance would have to come from the broadcasting entity, not Coulter? For example, the heated exchange broadcast last night on NBC between anchor Brian Willams and President Bush; NBC owns that copyright.
Josh Boelter | August 30, 2006 2:23 AM
An Coulter refused to sign a release because she looks like an idiot? That makes no sense. She looks like an idiot every time she speaks.
Annie Frisbie | August 29, 2006 8:35 AM
What do you mean, don't mention the scene? What will they do if someone does mention it? I saw it at Tribeca, and that sequence was the best part of the movie.

In a world where I can't get enough football, there exists three things: my thoughts, my beer, and my two favorite football blog sites (for my own purposes, this counts as one thing). Offseason is traditionally a time of lamenting and gnashing of teeth, and I can't wait until the draft so I can be happy. Withdrawals have set in, now in full effect, and my dreams are haunted by thoughts of another losing season. I want my team to win, and I want them to win now!
Patience has never been a virtue I really cared for, and well when the collapse of 2008 took place, I hung my head in shame. My favorite team had gone from promise and glory to shambles in less than a year. Then I was left to pick up the pieces of my hope. Amidst the clouds where my imagination lingered, the sky turned black very quickly. Rebuilding… no one enjoys hearing that word as a football fan.
Now the 2010 season is right around the corner—that's when the action picks up—and our hopes get lifted together in a festive toast to a great season. By season's end, we'll be either sick of getting wasted on Sundays and passing out in a dark closet or we'll be rejoicing at the nearest bar, proudly sporting as much Jaguars attire as our monthly budgets can support.
But that's where it ends. The reality of it all is that the offseason is still ongoing. The draft is close, the picks will fall where they may, and then the dreaded dead-zone happens. After the draft, our attention will focus solely on our respective picks, and then when we run out of pros and cons for each, we will slowly begin to start drinking more (some of us will). We'll begin to debate menial issues and listen to Blair's random thoughts typed in a post, and our world will become numb. It's just that football is such a large strand in our life's brown-haired weave (it can be blonde or black, no worries).
I'll tell you this though… with the first snap of the season, Jaguar fans from all over the world (like Budapest) will jump up and down like silly little girls, all in excitement for what we hope will be a season of glory… but will probably end in 10-6 at best.
All we hope for is a chance. Whether that chance comes by way of paying off the referees or by getting Jaxson De Ville to take out Peyton Manning from his blind side, I could care less. Whatever it takes to win, we will find it. I don't have patience, and I want to see some ass whuppins'. My liver and kidneys are taking the brunt of so much losing, and sometimes… well… I want to drink a beer without the salty tears.
For now, my thoughts, my beer, and my two favorite blog sites are going to have to do.

Pleasanton school board to launch search for new superintendent in October
Original post made on Aug 23, 2009
Read the full story here Web Link posted Saturday, August 22, 2009, 7:48 AM

Kathleen is a registered user.
In a previous posting, I responded to a question noting the four areas where community participation will be crucial in the next 12-15 months: another parcel tax attempt, the renewal of the teachers' contract, a possible superintendent search, and the election of board members. The search for the next superintendent will be the first critical step given the announced retirement of the current superintendent.
A superintendent advises the board prior to any action it takes and has a direct impact on the learning lives of students, their teachers, and their principal. Finding and hiring a candidate for this position is the single most important job board members have, and we have four board members who have never been part of this process. As our elected officials, it will be imperative for the public to contact board members about this impending selection, whether you have children in the schools or not. The following lists possible criteria, though it is not all inclusive and not all criteria can be found in one person. I hope others will indicate what their expectations are for the final candidate:
• K-12 experience as a teacher and administrator
• District administration experience
• Budgeting experience
• Current superintendent
• Current district business officer
• Graduate or post graduate degree
• Private sector experience or MBA
• California candidate vs a nationwide search
• Proven record of internal leadership and public communication skills
I am concerned about getting a candidate who can "start on June 1." This is not likely as most education candidates have contracts that run through June 30 and are not likely to be released by their current district before the end of the school year. Such a statement may indicate an inside candidate has been identified. This concerns me not as a question of qualified internal candidates, but because this could indicate bias from the current administration for someone at the district.
There are several well-known education search firms. One notable difference in process form the private sector is the amount of community input allowed through public meetings and private interviews with interested/key community members. Some will include a community interview panel. I think these last items are crucial in the selection and for the success of the candidate and board as a governance team.
There is significant pressure on board members to vote 5-0 for a candidate because the candidate might not otherwise accept the position. We need to lend support through clear expectations before the board steps into closed session to make its decision. This is no small feat when the public will not know who the candidates actually are.
As I noted, finding a new superintendent is the first of four crucial steps. The second and third, negotiations on a new contract and a second attempt at a parcel tax, will occur prior to this change in leadership and need equal public input. The last of the four will be a measure of success on the first three when the community votes for board members in November 2010. I hope the parents and community members will contact board members with their thoughts on all of these crucial points.

Let's get real here folks. We only have two high school and three middle schools. We need to save here and we should do without a superintendent as they are expensive and we will be paying for his retirement. The money can be better utilized in other places.
on Aug 23, 2009 at 10:33 am
Mullen, In addition to the five schools you mention, there are nine elementary schools in the district, two additional high school programs, adult education, and summer school serving 14,500 K-12 students. Reorganizing how this is managed, and doing it without someone at an operational level who also advises our elected representatives on the school board, would be an interesting challenge. Many district level business managers are former teachers and principals--maybe that is an approach to consider.

Albany -- If you're not worried about summer heat, you may be worried about hurricane season. It starts in less than an hour, and many service organizations are getting ready.
The Food Bank of Southwest Georgia is taking inventory to see what donations are needed. The organization says it's ready to help in case of another disastrous hurricane season because it partnered with the American Red Cross and Salvation Army to handle disaster relief in South Georgia.
But steady donations are vital to keep those groups going.
"The areas that the hurricanes are hitting most peoples are sending the products there. We have so many folks that comes here into our state and into our city, and we forget about those," said director of operations Tony Hall.
The Food Bank accepts monetary and non-perishable food donations. It serves 20 counties here in Southwest Georgia.

St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson was held out of Wednesday's practice with a groin injury that he suffered in Sunday's win over the Redskins, however he earlier revealed that the results of the MRI taken this week showed no serious damage. Jackson being held out of practice could just be a precaution as the team tries to rest him so that he will be able to start this week against the Chicago Bears.
Fantasy Analysis: The signs of age, wear and tear, might finally be beginning to show on Jackson. It could be nothing serious, but either way Jackson struggled for 53 yards on 21 carries against the Lions in week 1 and then Detroit allowed 89 yards on just 17 carries to Frank Gore in week 2. Jackson did have 58 yards on nine carries against the Redskins before leaving with the injury, but then unknown Daryl Richardson got 83 yards on 15 of his carries in relief. Jackson can possibly still be a solid flex play or decent RB2, but at this point he can't be considered a number one option and after so many touches in his career, could be more susceptible to injury.
For more on the Rams, check out Turf Show Times and SB Nation St. Louis. For more fantasy info, head over to the SB Nation Fantasy War Room 4-8:30pm ET Monday through Friday and 8am to 1pm on Sunday. Check out SB Nation's own Fantasy Football game, Pick 6!

Poor start to French Open for Simon Dyson
11:52am Friday 4th July 2014 in Sport
YORK'S Simon Dyson today faced an uphill battle to remain in the French Open after a dismal opening round.
Dyson was lodged on two-over-par - nine shots shy of overnight leader America's Kevin Stadler, who was one clear of the field after a seven-under 64.
Starting on the tenth hole, Dyson bogeyed the 17th only to return to level at midway with a birdie on the next hole.
But the inward nine brought calamity for the Malton & Norton GC player.
He double-bogeyed the par-five third and then birdies on seven and nine were wiped out by dropped shots on six and eight.

Witham: Developers forced to take down "intrusive" roadside sign (From Braintree and Witham Times)

Witham: Developers forced to take down "intrusive" roadside sign
12:00pm Thursday 10th January 2013 in News
A roadside sign on the A12 will have to be taken down after a council said it was "intrusive" and visible from the countryside.
Housing developers Barratt Homes has had a 6 metre tall sign by the side of the road, between the A12 and Gershwin Boulevard, Witham, since June last year.
The sign has been advertising one and two-bedroom homes at the new Reflections development in Ballantyne Drive, Colchester.
After Barratt Homes lodged a planning application in November, the Highways Agency offered no objections to the sign remaining in place, as long as it did not distract drivers.
But Braintree Council said the sign broke local planning policy.
A council decision notice said: "The advertisement by reason of its siting would form an unduly prominent and intrusive feature in this area, viewable from the countryside, the A12 and residential dwellings."
A Barratt Homes spokesman confirmed they would be taking the sign down by the end of this week.

XMAS COUNTDOWN: That's a wrap! (From Swindon Advertiser)

Christmas 2012 RSS Feed
XMAS COUNTDOWN: That's a wrap!
2:56pm Thursday 6th December 2012 in Christmas 2012
Traipsing around the crowded shops then lugging home your bags is only half of the job – next you have to tackle the wrapping!
For many people, this is a dreaded chore and something best done as rapidly as possible.
But a beautifully-wrapped gift can actually be part of the pleasure of Christmas.
Julie Domican, who works in visual merchandising at John Lewis, said: "Just imagine the person's face lighting up when you give them the gift."
With a little time and creativity, it's possible to achieve an expert-quality finish at home, too.
Julie suggests making the wrapping itself a bit of an event, so that it doesn't feel like a dreaded chore.
"If you've got a big pile of presents to get through, spread the wrapping up over a few nights," she said.
"Put on a CD and make it enjoyable. You can get the family involved or get friends round and make an evening of it – so long as people aren't wrapping up their own gifts!"
First, you need to shop for your supplies.
"Make sure everything matches nicely, or if you want to go for multiple colours, make sure they go well together," said Julie.
You'll also need a suitable pair of scissors, and a clear, solid surface to work on. A table is ideal, or you may prefer to sit on the floor.
It may be a good idea to lay a protective sheet to avoid scraping precious surfaces.
Domican recommends using double-sided tape, for a really professional finish, as the tape won't be visible on the outside.
Failing that, tape that comes in a dispenser – even better, one that attaches to your wrist – will make the job a lot easier than having to snip off pieces of sticky-tape as you go.
To work out how much paper you need per item, the general rule is to place the gift on the paper with enough paper on all sides to fold over the top, and overlap by at least an inch.
After folding one side of the paper over, if you're using double-sided tape you'll then be able to place the tape along the outside edge of the paper, and fold the other side of the paper over the top and stick it down.
To tape down the remaining paper at the top and bottom, start by gently pushing the paper down onto the gift (the side with the taped seam), then fold the two sides next to it down, trimming and tucking any stray edges until you have a neat triangle which you can press down.
"Cylinders can be done in a similar way," said Julie. "When wrapping awkward shapes, the best trick is to pop the gift into a box first, which you can then wrap, or buy a gift box and fill it with shredded tissue paper, or a nice gift bag.
"If you do want to wrap the gifts, choose a busy, patterned paper rather than a plain one. The pattern will distort over the awkward edges and they'll look better."
Now for the fun part! Wrapping your gifts tidily is just part of the job – the finishing touches are what will make them look really special.
Even a simple ribbon or bow will look effective, or you can get even more creative and add little extras.
"To make presents extra special I put chocolates in little gift bags and attach them to the ribbon," said Julie. "You can do the same with little trinkets, perhaps a little key-ring, just to add an extra, personal touch. Pretty baubles also work well – these will look good and form part of the gift."
Making your presents look special doesn't have to cost the earth, either. Collect pinecones, glue some glitter on them then attach them to gifts as an added decoration. It barely cost anything but looked very effective.

The Price of Oil
The Published Piece
Earlier this week, I did this assignment for the NY Times.
They needed a letters spot, responding to an onslaught of letters regarding the impending Petraeus testimony. "Spotlight on Iraq" was the theme.
The editor read one of my sketches as a double entendre - a spotlight, at the same time of the General being "down in the trenches". These were the other sketches...
As an aside, I'll hope you'll take the time to listen to this song by Billy Bragg, "The Price of Oil". I have a feeling it may become a theme for our times. I first heard it at the SF Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. Later on, I've heard it on one of my favorite radio stations, Pirate Cat Radio. It's a beautiful and passionate song, and has a spirit that I think resonates with a lot of us here in the States.
Anyway, there it is and that is all for now!
This has been stuck on my "to finish" bulletin board for a year. Maybe it was the 9/11 anniversary, I dunno, but I felt an overwhelming urge to put aside my deadlines and book projects to finish it up.
Perhaps now they'll be coming after me...

Interested in building custom mobile hardware
Currently I am more of a software guy, my hardware knowledge is limited to basic consumer off the shelf parts, which is to say, it is very very shallow. I am interested in obtaining a more in-depth knowledge of hardware so I can design my own custom ARM and/or Atom-compatible circuit boards and mobile hardware, small cheap things running a custom OS, probably BSD-based, for a specific purpose.
Let's say for example I want to build something that at a glance, looks like a Nintendo DS, not for gaming, but maybe as an electronic cookbook that can stand up to the elements in the kitchen, or something else, the application doesn't really matter at this point. And for a challenge, two touch screens instead of one, but a clamshell design, a directional pad maybe some custom buttons. Is it possible to even source all the parts I would need, and for less than a hundred? If the Raspberry Pi can go for $35, I imagine the cost shouldn't be utterly prohibitive, but what about just getting my hands on the screen panels? Can you even order something anywhere close to the quality of an iPhone 5 screen right now? If not right now, is the likelihood of it being possible in 3 to 5 years time high or low?
I'd love to learn more about hardware and industrial design, but if it isn't even possible to do the things I want to do simply for lack of affordable parts, I have other hobbies I could take up instead. Thanks in advance! :-)

Video of Boston area Irish Set Dancers dancing the sixth figure of The Kilfenora Set
The Boston Comhaltas musicians played lively tunes for Irish set dancers at the 2013 Boston Irish Festival in Canton on the grounds of the Irish Cultural Centre of New England. This is The Kilfenora Set – sixth figure, the hornpipe. It was great to see some beginner set dancers give it a try and to re-connect with set dancers from various groups and regions.
So, okay, some of the dancers were confused, but part of the fun of set dancing is helping others learn the dances. And nobody worries if you mess up; it's not a competition. Here's how it goes in a video of the Kilfenora Set Figure 6 with instructions published by Mike Didkovsky. What a find! You can dance along to the calling notes right in the video.
Short Notes for the 6th Figure of the Kilfenora
All: Circle AR(2)* & Swing
All: Kerry Body;** Circle AR(1) & Ladies Pinwheel*** 3/4 of the way (to 3rd gent) & Swing
All: Kerry Body; Circle AR(1); Ladies move on 3/4 & Swing
All: Kerry Body; Circle-AR; Ladies Pinwheel 3/4 & Swing
All: Kerry Body; Circle-AR; Ladies Pinwheel 3/4 to home & Swing
All: House to finish
Decode the Cryptic Short Notes
*AR: Advance & Retire (2 = 2 times or 8 bars; 1 =1 time or 4 bars)
**Kerry Body (aka Quarter-House): "keep waltz hold, couples dance 1 step into the set and 1 step back to place then turn 2 steps on to the next place on their R (4 bars). They repeat this movement into each place and back home" (excerpt from Set Dancing News study notes). Or, "in-2-3 stomp; out-2-3 and turn-2-3 and into place."
*** Pinwheel: "ladies take R hands in the centre and wheel around to fall in beside the gent to the R of their starting position (4 bars)" (excerpt from Set Dancing News study notes). Or, "ladies right-hand star; count the gents and stop at the 3rd gent (not counting your starting position)."

In the spirit of idle speculation, and in hopes of a better day:
Walking by Safeco yesterday on my way to the bus tunnel, I looked up at Felix, our lone star, resplendent, appropriately gigantic on his banner. I remembered my discomfort when Raul was so honored some years ago. I tried to remember all the others who had been similarly celebrated, but could not remember anyone other than Ichiro. (To this day, something like his ghost appears to me in the space right behind Felix every time I look up there.)
My question to the community - Who will be next to be elevated to banner status? Anyone we know? How many years hence before any other Mariner player deserves such a distinction?

Madison, WISCONSIN (WXOW) Even though Russell Wilson is now a Seattle Seahawk, a team that figures to be a contender with the Packers in the NFC this upcoming season, he's still held in high regard inside Wisconsin borders.
Wilson was in Madison over the weekend conducting his "Russell Wilson Passing Academy" for kids ages 9-17.
He will also hold camps in Seattle, Wash., Spokane, Wash., Richmond, Virginia and Raleigh, North Carolina.
Wilson estimates he'll reach about 1400 campers.
As for the Madison stop, it's also a chance for the former Badgers quarterback to reminisce.
"Coming back into this locker room, which is a lot nicer now, which I'm a little bitter about, but just coming back to this facility and being around the guys is nice. Visiting with the guys I played with that are still playing here, the guys I played with that aren't here anymore and are in the NFL or whatever they're doing, and also the guys I didn't play with before, the older guys, for them to come back and for us to share these moments, it's a family," Wilson said.
Wilson will have to make another trip to Wisconsin this summer when the Seahawks play at Green Bay in a preseason game August 23rd.
