Check out Chad Ford's latest Draft Stock piece on ESPN Insider. He mentions a St. John's recruit for next year (plays in community college now) named Nurideen Lindsey. Apparently he has had a checkered past; having dropped out of HS following his junior season and then not playing hoops for 3 years and is already 20 years old. But the upside is this...."Lindsey is a super athletic, lightning-quick guard who draws comparisons by some scouts to a poor man's Iverson and Monta Ellis." In his first game in Community College he dropped 48 points and averaged 38 ppg his final year of HS (junior year).
Apparently he does not have a great jump shot and is undersized (6'2'' 170) but this quote alone makes me want to see him as a Net...an NBA scout said "I haven't seen a kid with his quickness and scoring ability in a while. It's not easy to gauge given the competition, but I know fast, and he's fast. And I know scorers, and he can score in any league." With the success of ultra fast scorers in the NBA (AI, Monta Ellis, Brandon Jennings, etc) landing a kid like this to provide instant offense off the bench in the early second round (non-guaranteed contract) would be a nice coup for the Nets.
The workout video I saw of him on YouTube is pretty impressive...and he has great form on his jumper with a nice release point and can clearly catch and shoot.

I don't know if anyone else posted or addressed this, but Dan Rafael, in his blog, mentioned that Arum wants to keep it under wraps:
For whatever reason, Arum doesn't want to give them out, nor will he allow his partners at Golden Boy or HBO PPV to disclose them. What does he have to hide, anyway?
However, being a resourceful kind of guy with pretty darn good sources in the boxing business and television industry, I got the number, Arum's secrecy be damned. From what my sources tell me, the fight sits at about 825,000 domestic pay-per-view buys with the likelihood that when they're all counted, the total will reach 850,000 or more.
Arum's tactics seem, to me at least, to be a move in fear of giving Floyd any leverage on possible future neogotiations, saying that his fight with Hatton did better, etc.
[The rest is from SC, making this a collaborative piece!]
I think my favorite part here is this quote from Arum: "We did very well. Everyone involved in this event did a good job, but it's nobody's business what the numbers are but ours and the fighters. I'm not gonna release the figures."
In other words, "F*** me, this wasn't the 'record-breaker' I made it out to be and now I look like a dope, so shut up and leave me alone about it!"
The fact is 825-850,000 domestic buys is a remarkable number. As Rafael notes, it is the second-biggest boxing PPV ever that did not have Mike Tyson, Oscar de la Hoya or Evander Holyfield (behind the 915K that Mayweather-Hatton did).
Rafael also says that Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy and HBO's Mark Taffet are going along with Arum's bizarre request to not release the numbers and neither are thrilled about it. Schaefer, who co-promotes Hatton, and HBO must be thrilled with the number, while Arum talks Pacquiao up as if overnight he became Muhammad Ali mixed with Oscar de la Hoya and probably finds it hard to swallow the fact that not every single person on earth was terribly captivated by his eight-round whipping of an old-looking de la Hoya in December. Ask casual fans that watched that fight what they saw -- it's often a lot different than what "we" saw.
Pacquiao is the Top Rank meal ticket, but no matter how successful he is, when you combine a lot of factors (one of which is the recession), he's not going to be Oscar de la Hoya on PPV, at least not immediately, and I think this might bother Arum a little bit. The speculation that he might've wanted to use the Manny-Ricky number to leverage Floyd could also be true.
But he has to realize something else: All Pacquiao did was raise his profile as a "can't miss" fighter with the Hatton bombing. And another thing: He's not going to leverage Mayweather, who promotes himself and like it or not (and I don't, really, because it possibly prevents great fights) he's damn savvy enough to know that they need him for X fight or Y fight. The truth is, if Arum, Pacquiao and Roach want Floyd bad enough, they'll have to back down a little when negotiation time comes.
I say congratulations to Top Rank, Golden Boy, HBO, Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton on the great success of this fight, because they deserve it. Sorry, Bobbo.

You had me at 'time-space continuum' and 'returning the rocks to the moon "on behalf of all colonized people."' Please recommend more books. Thank you.
Few government agencies have ever inspired confidence in the state, or scientific progress, like NASA did in the 1960s. So when the end of its space shuttle program was announced back in 2010, the agency celebrated the end of its life quietly. NASA's current administrator, Major General Charles F. Bolden Jr., tactfully ignored the anti-Communist vitriol that put the first man on the moon, and everyone forgot why the CIA was concerned with space exploration in the first place. Almost everyone. There are stories involving secret military space programs today that can make your head spin.
Among its classified materials, NASA keeps a bag of rocks that Neil Armstrong collected during the first moonwalk. The rocks have no scientific value; the bag wasn't sealed properly, and the sample was contaminated by regular earth dust in the landing craft. They are an unlikely target in an elaborate conspiracy to undermine the American imperial project. But then again, they've been sitting in Houston for decades, reminding young scientists of a time when lunar colonies were just a few years away. As the novelist Deji Olukotun sees it in his new novel, Nigerians in Space, these moon rocks are souvenirs of the future, amulets inscribed with all of the pride, wonder, and anxiety it takes to keep an idea alive. "NASA wanted the astronauts to leave with something no matter what in order to justify the expense" (62).
In Olukotun's new novel, a Nigerian scientist stuck as a mid-level employee in the Houston laboratories finds himself with an opportunity to rip into the space-time continuum, to reclaim personal and national honor by returning the rocks to the moon "on behalf of all colonized people." Equipped with such material, Olukotun would hardly ignore classic science fiction experiments and clichés. Nigerians in Space captures the cocksure attitude and dignified clip of the 1950s radio play, with more mischievous and macabre elements that reflect the frustration of anti-colonial and Pan-African politics. As we follow the Nigerian program (codename Brain Gain) from its launch in 1993 to an amorphous present day, cross-generational conflicts give us plenty of time to reflect on changing methods for handling security, national identity, and charisma. But Olukotun doesn't dwell on the technology that has been developed. More alarmingly—as one generation's faith in its dreams becomes signs of ill health to the next—he asks us what we believe is possible.
* Nigerians in Space launches tonight at 7 pm at WORD Bookstores' Brooklyn book store. The red dots in the image above, by the NASA Earth Observatory, is of the non-stop flaring lights in the Niger Delta.
You had me at 'time-space continuum' and 'returning the rocks to the moon "on behalf of all colonized people."' Please recommend more books. Thank you.
Shame on me, you remind me how little long form reading I do for entertainment.
Looks like fun. I am reminded of a story I re-discovered recently, Suzy McNee Charnas, "Scorched Supper on New Niger." [Published in New Voices III, edited by George R. R. Martin, Berkley Books, 1980, and reprinted in Women of Wonder: The Contemporary Years, edited by Pamela Sargent, 47-80. New York: Harcourt Brace, 1995). Though the story was a conventional one about trade wars and flitting about space between trade ports in fancy rockets, the main character was Dee, a female pilot who was rescued by Helen, a Nigerian trader on a planet called New Niger. Helen claimed her role as a strong woman leader by invoking the Aba Women's War. There was also information about the punitive practice of sitting on a man, in the context of thwarting a non-African man who was trying to take over Dee's ship and business (thus the title of the story, the scorched supper referring to a deliberately burned meal offered to that man). We learn that after a major economic failure in Old Nigeria on Earth, the only people who had enough cash to get started in space travel were market women, who bought ships, named them with African proverbs, and continued their successful trading practices.
State that holds a lot of potential

12Lorde Calls Nicki Minaj "Irrelevant"
Lorde better get ready for another fight with a female singer, since she's (sort of) dissing Nicki Minaj and Lana Del Rey (and Drake, too!) for their music. Lorde is known for the hit "Royals", a song that starts with "I've never seen a diamond in the flesh…" and she revealed what inspired her song about songs about opulence. From Interview magazine via HipHollywood:
Around the middle of last year I started listening to a lot of rap, like Nicki Minaj and Drake, as well as pop singers like Lana Del Rey. They all sing about such opulence, stuff that just didn't relate to me—or anyone that I knew. I began thinking, 'How are we listening to this? It's completely irrelevant.'
Dude, Lana Del Rey sings about blue jeans and video games, so I don't know what the hell Lorde is thinking. But I agree with her other points. I wonder if Minaj will miss the point and take this personally and respond like she's dealing with Mariah again.
I'm mostly team Lorde, but she had no ground to throw Lana under the bus with Nicki and Drake, especially since Ms. Del Rey praised Lorde saying she wished her album, Born To Die was as good as Lorde's Pure Heroin. Personally, I think Lana's is miles better, though Lorde's is great. I think Lorde is crazy-talented. And fine, yes, I love Lana. The End.

Definitely proof that teenage years are better spent away from the spotlight. Why would she go for nicki minaj, why? Of course nicki minaj and drake sing about opulence, they were poor as fuck as children and they finally can afford stuff. Many rap artists come from poor backgrounds and when they make it they brag about it. Lorde is going to be embarrassed of this in a few months.
Pretty sure that Drake (Aubrey Graham) wasn't "poor as fuck" growing up. It sounds like he had a fairly middle class upbringing.
Where did you ever get the idea that Drake was "poor as fuck" as a kid? That motherfucker was on Degrassi for, like, eight or nine years.
afaik Degrassi didn't pay him that much, and he struggled until his mum re-married?
Yeah I agree. Everyone has such a hard-on for her … sure she's more self-aware than the average 16 year old, but she still doesn't know shit about shit, yet.
I don't think she meant the singers themselves were irrelevant but the topics they were singing about aren't relatable to the public. Majority of people are not wealthy and throwing around their money so why do people keep listening to things they can't really relate to? At least that's how I took it.
She sounds like a pretentious little bitch shouldn't she be in the big leagues for more than an hour before she starts telling ppl they are irrelevant and what they choose to sing/rap about is not relatable?
BTW Drake was not poor as fuck growing up.
this is my problem with lorde, she cant keep her mouth shut! she hates on anyones and if you ask her in an interview she will go on abour how real she is and how fake is everybody else. i dont even like minaj or drake but the are also not the first celebrities she has badmouthed. i cant stand this chick hope she fades away soon
I really like her because she speaks her mind. I wish more celebrities would stop with the ass-kissing.
And besides that:
1. Nicki Minaj IS irrelevant
2. Born to die is way better than pure heroin.
lana del rey sucks
Lana Del Rey doesn't song about blue jeans OR video games.. Those titles have zero to do with the actual lyrics of the songs. I read them, so I know? I'm a big survival horror gamer I play in Tekken tournaments in NYC etc.. and it doesn't take a gamer like me to know that song doesn't say shit about actual video games. And that other one is about a dude, not blue jeans… Come on now..

The United States women's national team barely got into the 2011 Women's World Cup. They lost in the semifinal of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament to Mexico and looked unconvincing in their qualifying playoff win over Italy. They lost two friendly matches in the build-up to the tournament. In the World Cup, they lost to Sweden, needed a 122nd minute equalizer to force penalties against Brazil, and were outplayed for most of their game against France. And yet, here they are. The USA women's soccer team, in the World Cup final yet again, this time against Japan.
Of course, as improbable as their journey has been, it completely pales in comparison to that of their opponents. Japan was devastated by an earthquake and resulting tsunami in March, and the disaster put the team's presence at the World Cup in doubt. As a result of the disaster, the Japanese men's national football team had to withdraw from the 2011 Copa America, at which they were an invited guest. The team was able to organize themselves and even play a few friendlies before the tournament, something that has probably aided them in their journey to the final. The USWNT will have great support from their country behind them, but it will likely be dwarfed by the support Japan gets from their fans at home.
If you ask a fan who has followed the United States women for the last couple of years, they will tell you that Pia Sundhage should have a number of selection dilemmas. Amy Rodriguez and Carli Lloyd struggled in the match against France and this is hardly a one-time occurrence. Both are very athletic, very hard-working, and all-around useful footballers, but the form of both leaves something to be desired compared to, say, Alex Morgan and Lori Lindsey. However, Sundhage has been more loyal to these two players than any others, and if they are healthy - which they are - they will be in the starting lineup.
There is one real dilemma that Sundhage has, though, and that is in the center of defense. With Rachel Buehler suspended for the semifinal, Becky Sauerbrunn - the record-holder for consecutive games played in WPS - stepped in and filled her shoes brilliantly. Though Lauren Cheney, Abby Wambach, and substitutes Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe got most of the post-match attention, Sauerbrunn was arguably the woman of the match for the United States.
In the first half, she did such a thorough job of erasing Marie-Laure Delie, France's leading goal-scorer, that a completely healthy Delie was substituted out of the game. Before the World Cup, Sauerbrunn played two fantastic matches in friendlies, and her form in WPS has been superb as well. Sundhage's selection at central defense will likely be the hardest personnel choice she has made in this tournament.
That selection will be a very critical one, as Japan's strikers are among the best players on their team. The 24-year-old Turbine Potsdam star Yuki Nagasato will be the leader of the forward group for years to come in Japan, but the second striker/attacking midfielder that plays behind her, veteran Homare Sawa, is the star of the show for now. The 32-year-old is Japan's all-time leading scorer and is currently tied with Marta in the race for the Golden Boot, with four goals.
Other players to watch for Japan include Mana Iwabuchi, the budding 18-year-old star who provides a spark off the bench and who is often compared to FC Barcelona star Lionel Messi, Aya Miyama, who is arguably the greatest set piece taker in the world, and Aya Sameshima, Japan's talented defender who plays her club football in the United States for Boston Breakers.
In their previous two games, Japan have come up against two teams who most experts agreed would have too much of a physical advantage for Japan to deal with. They don't have a single outfield player taller than 5'7", and almost all of their players are 5'4" or smaller. Germany and Sweden, the two teams they defeated en route to the final, are loaded with great athletes who have major size and strength advantages over Japan. It didn't matter.
While the United States might have athletes that are even better than the players on Germany or Sweden, they do not have the technical skill of those teams as a group. The logic in predicting Germany and Sweden victories over Japan is that those teams had 90 percent of the technical skill of Japan with much more athleticism, making them the favorites. Saying that the United States has 90 percent of the technical skill of Japan would be a serious stretch.
Yes, the United States defeated Japan in two warm-up friendlies before the World Cup, but both of those games took place in the United States, and both were very shortly after the earthquake and tsunami. The games were played to raise money for charities benefiting disaster relief in Japan, and it was obvious that Japan was not at their best in those games. The United States won both friendlies by one goal, and the message from Japan was that they were just happy to be there. They were happy that they were able to get a team organized to travel to the United States and play a semi-competitive game, and they were happy that they played at a level that somewhat resembled what they were capable of. They did not put their best foot forward, and they did not expect to win those games. Still, they challenged the United States in both matches and managed to lose both by only one goal.
The USWNT are the favorites on Sunday, but then again, so were Germany and Sweden in their matches against Japan. Those teams were the favorites for the same reason that the United States is the favorite, so it would be ridiculous to say that the U.S. women are anything but very marginal favorites. They don't have the technical skill of Japan, France, Brazil or Sweden, but they've been able to make the final despite that deficiency. Most of that has to do with athleticism. A lot of people will tell you that it mostly has to do with heart and determination.

Those two characteristics are a bit overrated in soccer as compared to, say, American football or ice hockey, but they certainly don't hurt. A team who is inferior to their opponents in skill and/or is the victim of bad refereeing, as the United States was in the match against Brazil does not win games without some fantastic mental toughness. The bad news for them is that they will be facing a team that simultaneously has the backing of an entire country, but at the same time has absolutely nothing to lose. Though all judgments of mental toughness are subjective in the first place, it seems as though, for the first time in this tournament, the United States will not have a significant edge over their opponents in that department.
In intangible qualities, the United States and Japan appear to be dead even. When it comes to tangible footballing traits, the United States has the athleticism while Japan has the skill. It should be an absolutely fantastic final, one in which neither team pulls away and neither team gives up at any point, even if it does turn into a blowout.

Confirmed as the largest exposure of consumer information on record in the United States, the network intrusion experienced by TJX Companies highlights serious data security risks posed by outdated payment card systems, experts observed.
In an annual report filed with the SEC on March 28, TJX offered many more details of the attack that allowed intruders to make off with more customers' information than it had previously shared with the public.
According to the report, an undetermined number of outsiders repeatedly broke into a portion of the company's IT systems between 2005 and 2007, exposing the personal information -- including credit and debit card numbers -- of roughly 45.6 million people.
TJX specifically said that the attackers were able to penetrate an area of its network used to store payment card and transactional data at two different locations.
At the time that TJX hired IBM and General Dynamics to begin investigating the break-in during Dec. 2006, the consultants found that the malware tools used by the data thieves were still present in the company's systems.
Ironically, the TJX data heist, which has already led to fraud in the U.S. and overseas, displaces another incident related to a hack of payment card systems as the most sizeable breach of all time. In mid-2005, card processor CardSystems Solutions had its IT systems hacked to the tune of more than 40 million consumer records.
Security experts said it is no coincidence that the two largest consumer data thefts on record involve break-ins to payment card systems.
In addition to holding the sensitive customer information that cyber-criminals and offline fraudsters need most to carry out their schemes, companies that have not moved to upgrade their systems over the last several years are likely running applications that do not offer much resistance to attack, analysts said.
"These older payment systems were not designed with security in mind, and the people building them only really started paying attention to security in the last few years, so, it's easy to blame TJX for coming up short, but I'd bet there are a lot of other companies in the same shoes," said Aviviah Litan, analyst with Gartner.
Things have improved slowly since major credit card issuers forced the adoption of the PCI (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) in 2004, which was co-authored by Visa USA and MasterCard, the analyst said. However, many older systems remain vulnerable despite the guideline, Litan said.
MasterCard, among others, has commented publicly that TJX's systems were not compliant with PCI standards when they were attacked.
The analyst said that sources were telling her that the attack carried out against TJX originated in Eastern Europe and likely took advantage of an unprotected wireless network somewhere at the company to break into the software controllers that drive its point-of-sale registers in addition to hacking into its back-end systems.
Most companies do not monitor all their point-of-sale controllers, and from there, the criminals were likely able to find a way to penetrate the firm's back-end servers, she said.

Music leads to major debate at my housePublished 8:39am Wednesday, February 9, 2011
On many subjects my wife, Erin, and I have similar views — which is probably why we have been able to handle six years of marriage without wanting to kill each other.
When we discuss politics there is a little bit of difference, but not much. When we watch television and movies, we like much of the same stuff.
There is one subject, however, that does spark debate in our house — music. I can only imagine what it would be like for an outsider to watch our conversations about music since they draw such passionate responses from each of us.
She has her favorite bands and I have mine. Unfortunately, we can't stand the other's favorite band.
Her tastes tend to be more contemporary while I enjoy older music. She loves Nickelback and I love the Beatles.
Out of kindness I took her to a Nickelback concert a few years ago. It was awful — at least for me. I enjoyed it because she had a good time and I knew it was a great experience for her, but I had the experience of standing there like an idiot since I did not know the lyrics to many of the songs.
Sadly, I can't take her to a Beatles concert to make her understand the suffering I endured.
I gained some bragging rights recently when VH1 ran a series of the Top 100 musical acts of all time. The Beatles were No. 1 while Nickelback didn't make the list.
I laughed. She said the people who were surveyed didn't know what they were talking about. It didn't help when I told her the Beatles were probably an influence for Nickelback since nearly every band since 1970 said the Beatles influenced their work.
It also didn't help when I told Erin all of Nickelback's songs sound similar while the Beatles songs, especially those on the albums from 1966 and beyond, have a wide variety of styles.
She still disagreed with my assessment, which was verified by VH1.
Not all of our conversations about music center on our favorite bands.
Erin talks about how many songs stir her emotions. There are not many songs that have that effect on me, but they do bring up memories, which is probably the reason I prefer older music.
As a child of the 1980s, I have several songs in my music library from that decade. I remember the songs fondly because I enjoyed watching the videos of those songs on MTV — yes, younger readers, MTV showed music videos a long time ago (it wasn't called Music Television for nothing) — and they remind me of the good times I had as a kid.
The bulk of my library contains several songs from the 1990s since those were my teen years and a few from 2000-05, but not much since then.
I simply do not care much for most of the music that has been released in the past five years. Sure there is a song or two I like, but those are usually performed by artists that have been in the music business for at least a decade.
I don't know if my tastes are shaped by the fact I do not listen to Top 40 radio much anymore — I usually listen to sports talk radio — and have not had the bands drilled into my head.
Erin, on the other hand, listens to Top 40 more often and has gained an appreciation for newer acts, which leads to interesting conversations.
One thing we can agree on is that neither of us like Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus — although that could be because neither of us are 15-years-old anymore.
Maybe 10 or 20 years from now I will download music from 2011 since I will have memories attached to it, but right now I'm not wasting space in my MP3 player.
One thing I do know is that 10 or 20 years from now my MP3 player will still be full of Beatles music and there will not be a single Nickelback song to be found in my music library.

Gothic Kabbalah may have been a letdown but Therion's body of work has a tremendously good ratio of GREAT songs vs filler. This band catapults into their league with their three albums, this one by far their best.
Nightwish, Sins of Thy Beloved, Visions of Atlantis, Epica, Asrai, MacBeth (Italian), Tristana, all have to take a step down to make room for KRYPTERIA. They all have their share of Good and Great songs but also have their share of filler.
Over the course of their three albums, Krypteria has evolved quite a bit. Where will they go next? It's like they have been discovering who they want to be and what they are. Now that they know, Look Out!

After four seasons, Dave Morley has left Bangor City for newly-promoted Huws Gray Alliance outfit Caernarfon Town.
He made a goalscoring debut against Bury on 12 September 1997, but did not make any further starts for the club, two substitute appearances providing his only other first team action.
Morley made more than 200 Football League appearances for Manchester City, Southend, Carlisle, Oxford United, Doncaster Rovers and Macclesfield, where he was club captain, leading out the side for their 2007 FA Cup tie against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and making more than 100 appearances.
He Left the Moss Rose for Hyde United before signing for Bangor City in June 2009 and made 97 (+15) Welsh Premier appearances for the Citizens, scoring 21 goals of which the majority were from the penalty spot.
Morley scored City's last-minute winner in the 2009 Welsh Cup final win over Port Talbot Town and also headed the equalising goal which set-up a 2-1 Europa League victory over Honka in 2010.
Wedi pedwar tymor - mae Dave Morley wedi gadael Bangor ac ymuno gyda chlwb Caernarfon.

The state championship boys basketball team from South Sioux City was honored with a welcome home celebration late Tuesday afternoon.
The Cardinals won the Nebraska Class B title on Saturday night, beating top-seeded Scottsbluff, 55 to 53.
South Sioux trailed by double digits in all three of their state tournament games but overcame the odds to win it all.
Terry Comstock says, "It feels great. The work and effort that these guys put in to this championship is bar none. They really deserve this. This was a great team effort and this feels great to know, that after all the hard work they put into it they get something out of it.
South Sioux also won boys titles in 2010 and 2011. The Cardinals will likely move from Class B up to Class A next season.

The Invaders
Is anyone out there as excited as I am that they are FINALLY going to release the much underrated 60's TV show "The Invaders" on DVD. On sale in May of 08. Don't know much about the extras, but it'll sure beat those #$@%-in bootlegs!!
I'm looking forward to it, a very good series for its day.
The remake with Scott Bakula? Sorry Archer fans, it just doesn't measure up to the original with Roy Thinnes...
I must say, the bootleg Man From UNCLE set I got recently? For the money I paid for it, a 22-disc set, the quality overall is pretty good and beats paying almost $250 to Time-Life for the legit set!
yes, but as a writer/photographer I have a big problem with bootlegging! It's taking money out of someone's mouth (yes, I realize most anyone involved with TMFU is dead except the two lead actors)... I still feel it is wrong...
sorry for moralizing...
BUT staying on topic.
Yes, I am looking forward to seeing "The Invaders" on DVD. Hopefully, the boxed set will include the remake too.
Haven't seen it since high school, and am looking forward to it!
As far as bootlegs go, I buy them, but only to satisfy me until the legit release comes out, which I'll also buy. Like Robinson Crusoe On Mars, the only thing you could get for years were bootlegs DVDs or mega- expensive VHS and laserdiscs, both out of print. I bought the boot but felt morally obliged to buy the recent DVD release ( which was Criterion Collection, looked better and had lots of extras).
I will definately be picking these up on DVD. The Invaders was a great show.

If you have diabetes, you need to be careful with alcohol. Alcohol can affect how well you control your blood sugar (glucose) level. It can also increase risks to your health. Before choosing to drink alcohol, discuss it with your healthcare provider (HCP). He or she can help you decide whether you can drink safely. This sheet tells you more about risks of drinking alcohol. It also gives you tips for staying safe when you drink.
Here are some of the ways alcohol can affect your health if you have diabetes:
It can make certain health problems worse. Alcohol may worsen disease of the liver, kidney, or pancreas. It may also make nerve or eye damage more likely. If you have any of these health problems, your HCP will likely advise you not to drink alcohol.
It can increase your risk for low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). The liver helps prevent low blood sugar by releasing extra glucose into the blood. Alcohol in the blood keeps the liver from doing this. Low blood sugar is more likely if you drink alcohol on an empty stomach or during or right after exercise. It is also more likely if you take insulin or medications that help lower blood sugar. Also, alcohol may affect your ability to tell whether you have symptoms of low blood sugar. This may keep you from getting needed treatment.
It can increase your risk for high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). Many alcoholic drinks contain carbohydrates (carbs). These include beers, sweeter wines, and drinks mixed with fruit juices or sugar. Carbs raise blood sugar levels higher and faster than other kinds of foods. Drinking may throw off your ability to monitor your carbs.
It can affect how well you manage your weight. Alcohol is high in calories and has no nutrition. If you are on a meal plan to help control your weight, you will need to count alcohol as part of your daily calorie intake. A standard drink is usually counted as 90 calories or two fat exchanges. In addition, alcohol can cause you to feel hungrier than normal. This makes you more likely to overeat, which can affect your weight and blood sugar level.

Indications and Usage for Lantus® (insulin glargine [rDNA origin] injection)
Prescription Lantus® is a long-acting insulin used to treat adults with type 2 diabetes and adults and children (6 years and older) with type 1 diabetes for the control of high blood sugar. It should be taken once a day at the same time each day to lower blood glucose.
Do not use Lantus® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis.
Important Safety Information for Lantus® (insulin glargine [rDNA origin] injection)
Do not take Lantus® if you are allergic to insulin or any of the inactive ingredients in Lantus®.
You must test your blood sugar levels while using insulin, such as Lantus®. Do not make any changes to your dose or type of insulin without talking to your healthcare provider. Any change of insulin should be made cautiously and only under medical supervision.
Do NOT dilute or mix Lantus® with any other insulin or solution. It will not work as intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. Lantus® must only be used if the solution is clear and colorless with no particles visible. Do not share needles, insulin pens or syringes with others.
The most common side effect of insulin, including Lantus®, is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which may be serious. Some people may experience symptoms such as shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. Severe hypoglycemia may be serious and life threatening. It may cause harm to your heart or brain. Other possible side effects may include injection site reactions, including changes in fat tissue at the injection site, and allergic reactions, including itching and rash. In rare cases, some allergic reactions may be life threatening.
Tell your doctor about other medicines and supplements you are taking because they can change the way insulin works. Before starting Lantus®, tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including if you have liver or kidney problems, are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding or planning to breast-feed.
Lantus® SoloSTAR® is a disposable prefilled insulin pen. Please talk to your healthcare provider about proper injection technique and follow instructions in the Instruction Leaflet that accompanies the pen.
Please click here or the link below for the full prescribing information for Lantus®
Tips for Safer Drinking
Your doctor may give you the okay to drink in moderation. Here are some steps you can take to drink safely:
Strictly follow the drink limits given to you by your HCP. Or use the American Diabetes Association guidelines (see box below).
Check your blood sugar level before drinking. Do not drink if your blood sugar level is too low or too high. Also, check your blood sugar level after drinking or before going to bed. This is because alcohol can stay in the blood for many hours after drinking. If your blood sugar level is low or dropping, you may be able to treat it with a snack or glucose tablet before it worsens.
Ask your HCP, including your phamacist, how alcohol will affect insulin or any medications you take.
Never drink on an empty stomach.
Never drink during or after exercise.
Do not drink any alcohol if you are going to drive.
Be smart about what you drink. This means choosing drinks that are lower in alcohol, calories, and carbohydrates. Options include dry wines, light beers, or mixed drinks with sugar-free juice, club soda, or sparkling water.
Carry medical ID that tells others you have diabetes. This helps ensure that you receive proper treatment, if needed.
American Diabetes Association Alcohol Guidelines
If your HCP has cleared you to drink, limit drinking to:
Women: No more than 1 drink a day
Men: No more than 2 drinks a day
One drink equals 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor.

(Excerpt from Marshall Brickman interview)
How did you get the job writing for The Tonight Show?
My friend Dick Cavett, who was a writer on the show at this time, the early sixties, was leaving to try his hand at stand-up. And I was bouncing around after Candid Camera. So I said to Dick, "Let me see what your stuff looks like when you hand it in to Johnny." I had this idea that if Carson saw material submitted to him in the form that he was used to, he would think I had already worked for him. Or deserved to work for him. Anyhow, he hired me.
That's the key to life, isn't it? Acting as if you belong where you want to end up.
"Assume a virtue if you have it not," as Shakespeare wrote.
How did you become the head writer for the show?
I didn't have an office when I started, just a rolling typewriter stand with an old Royal on it. And I would push my stand to an empty part of the office and write my jokes. Walter Kempley, who later wrote for Happy Days, was then the head writer. He had a disagreement with the producer over a raise, and he left. Walter called me into his office and said, "Congratulations, kid. You're the head writer." He gave me half a box of cigars and his joke file. I got his office—a nice office with a window—and a backlog of four or five years of jokes.
How long had you been on the show?
A month or two.
You skipped over all the other writers to become head writer?
The other writers didn't want the job. They were smart. The monologue writers, like David Lloyd, who later wrote for The Mary Tyler Moore show and Cheers and Frasier, merely had to deliver a monologue to Carson every day by three o'clock. I shouldn't say "merely," because writing a daily monologue can be a terrifying task. But the head writer, in addition to running the writing department, had to write all the sketches, the little interview pieces, the comedy spots.
Such as Carnac the Magnificent, Aunt Blabby, and "The Tea Time Movie"?
All that shit. I have piles of it, cubic feet of it, stored somewhere.
They were very vaudevillian, those sketches.
Johnny loved to do characters. And the advantage we had was, as a nightly show, the material didn't have to be timeless—or even very funny. But if you had timely references, it usually worked. And Johnny was quite skillful. The audiences loved him.
TV's a monster. It just eats up material.
It's impossible to be continuously good. That's why I'm amazed when I see a TV show that's good consistently, night after night, week after week.
One of the things that I'll go to my grave having to apologize for is having invented the Carnac Saver.
Which was what?
Every time Johnny's character Carnac the Magnificent told a joke that bombed, he would have a line that would save him. Like a "heckler-stopper." And we would give Johnny a page of these jokes: "May the Great Camel of Giza leave you a present in your undershorts." I can't believe we were paid for this.
What are your feelings about Carson? What was he like to work with?
He was an avuncular figure to me, even though he was probably only forty when I started on the show.
He had a reputation for being difficult to write for, very aloof.
Aloof, I guess. He wasn't a touchy-feely type of guy. But appreciative and loyal. And a good boss.
What were his strengths, from a writer's standpoint?
He knew how to deliver a joke. He was a good reactor. He was perfect for television. He never gave a whole lot away. But in terms of delivering comic material, he had that glint.
He knew exactly what would work for him.
He had a good arena instinct, a solid sense of what the audience would accept from him. Not only in terms of the kind of jokes, but how far he was willing to push it politically. He was a kind of barometer. When he finally did a joke about Johnson or Nixon or whomever, then it became okay to think about those things in a different way. I've always thought that television exists for the audience as a kind of parental entity. If it's on TV, then it's been certified by someone, somewhere. And if Johnny did a joke about Nixon or the mayor or whomever—then it became okay to do jokes about that person.
We were constantly trying to push Johnny—by we, I mean Jewish, liberal-left-wing writers. We would always try to have him do jokes that were a little stronger than what he wanted to do. But every once in a while he'd sense when the time was right. That was his strength, really. He was like a tuning fork. He would vibrate with what he perceived was the mood for the country….

This book contains photographs from my first visit to New Mexico. I was amazed at the detail everywhere. No matter where I looked, there were cultural influences built into everything. I couldn't stop taking pictures and luckily brought enough SD Cards to manage the ones I took.
Two of my favorite types of photos are Black and White and HDR (High Dynamic Range) shots. When I returned home, I decided to create an album and merge these two styles to get these photos as a result.
My photographs were processed from multiple and in some cases single RAW files using a combination of Adobe Lightroom 3, Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Photomatix 3 Pro. All photos are available online for purchase at http://www.ludwigsphoto.com.

We were hoping it would be sooner, but it could also have been much worse, so the news today that Danny Simpson will be out three to four weeks with his hamstring problem is not too bad.
Danny Simpson – in action against Atromitos
Simpson picked up a hamstring problem during last weekend's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa, but the good thing is he came off immediately, and therefore didn't make things even worse.
We think that's what happened to Cheick Tiote in that first game, when he was all ready to come off after just 10 minutes, with Vurnon Anita all ready to come on, but Cheick stayed on the field – and hasn't played since.
Simpson, the former Manchester United player had scans on the injury this week, but is hoping he could be back in a short three weeks time, as he had this to say on the Newcastle web-site today:
"It's a lot better than I first thought." "I have never had a hamstring problem before. I just felt something bad and I knew straight away I would have to come off."
"I will just have to see how it is at the start of next week and take it from there, but hopefully I won't miss too many games." "But the scan results came back on Wednesday and it is hopefully three weeks, maybe four maximum."
"It depends on each person, their body and how quickly they recover, but it's a lot better than what we first thought." "Already I'm walking easier than I was on Sunday, so that's a good sign."
"Injuries are part and parcel of being a footballer, but I'm not used to it – I haven't had many injuries." "For a long time, I haven't really had any issues in that area. It's just one of those things, though."
"With there not being a game for two weeks, if there is a time to have a little niggle then it's probably now." "I will just have to see how it is at the start of next week and take it from there, but hopefully I won't miss too many games."
We're also hoping that Fabricio Coloccini is fit when he returns from his trip to Argentina, and at the moment he is out injured with a muscle strain in his right leg.
Newcastle do not have too much cover across the back four, and it would be a bit of a calamity if we were to lose both Colo and Danny Simpson at the same time – that's half our first choice back four would be out.
We have hopes that Coloccini will not play in the Argentina game next Tuesday night against Peru, and then he should have a decent chance of being fit for the important Everton game.
Ans as Danny says above, he may only miss only a few games because of the International break – maybe a couple of games at most?
And a short note to Danny – please sign that new contract.
Comments welcome.

Maldon pair's Mini adventure ends after more than 16,000 miles
5:00pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in Local News
Globe-trotting siblings will continue a world road trip, despite having to abandon their vintage Mini Mayfair.
Jack and Josie Condron, of Mayflower Drive, Maldon, started their journey on August 23 after saving for two years for a trip of a lifetime.
They reached Australia just before Christmas and were due to drive 5,000 miles from Darwin to Sydney via Perth.
But they were stranded in the Australian outback 400 miles from Perth when the head gasket blew for a second time on Wednesday.
They eventually managed to drive it to Perth but have to traverse the rest of the country by other means.

CHATTANOOGA, TN. (WRCB) -- Everyone has an opinion and the "how to" on handling situations like the beating of Adam Tatum. Situations like these can have a gray area. But as Dr. Roger Thompson with UTC said, these two officers clearly ventured out of the gray area.
"Immediate reaction: Rodney King and what happened in LA," said Thompson.
UTC criminal justice professor Dr. Roger Thompson was disturbed when watching the video Channel 3 showed you first Wednesday night.
Dr. Thompson said, "I thought we were past this, and I thought we learned some lessons."
Both Chattanooga officers involved were fired.
Dr. Thompson questions why it had to come to this, asking weren't there chances for the officers to put Adam Tatum in cuffs thus ending the situation?
"He's sitting there at times almost in the fetal position and he's not putting direct threat on the officers," said Dr. Thompson.
Those words were partially echoed by Chattanooga Police Chief Bobby Dodd.
"He tries to flea at one point, he runs into a dead end, officers bring him to the ground, they drag him back into camera range and from that point Mr. Tatum did nothing other than plea with him to stop hitting him," said Chief Dodd.
Chief Dodd said after they pulled him back into camera frame it became excessive and abusive, he counted 48 strikes with the baton.
Dr. Thompson said the public deserved to see this, but in some cases it will leave a lasting impression that the police department doesn't want.
"This makes a mental imprint and image, don't tell me the police are here to help, look how they handle business," said Dr. Thompson.
He also said the police department will need to use this for educational purposes.
He said it all starts with training.

" Brand: Sleek / Type: Blushers "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
After being so impressed with my first purchases from Sleek - a pair of gorgeous lipsticks - I wanted to try out more of the range. They have a great selection of colours which are all very wearable but are bolder than other comparable drugstore brands. I decided to go for pixie pink which in the pan looks intimidatingly bright however, pretty much all my blushers are pink and I did not have a comparable colour so I decided to go for it!
--First Impressions--
Sleeks packaging is all black and rather minimalist in style and is very sturdy and well made. This blush has a very good little mirror built in to the lid which is a nice touch and unexpected for a drugstore brand.
Even though it looks scary in the pan once blended on the cheeks it looks like a lovely natural flush. The colour payoff is amazing and you really don't need much - it is very easy to go over board and enter clown territory! However, the blush is so blendable that even if you make a mistake you can blend it in down to a seamless finish. On me this blush lasts the whole day - no touch ups required!
I will certainly be purchasing another one of these blushes in the future. The quality and colour payoff is amazing and they last they whole day. You can either purchase the blush individually for £4.49 or you can buy one of their blush palettes which includes three blushes for £9.99. You can either purchase them from Superdrug or from the Sleek website. The website is great as it actually shows you what the swatches look like on fair, medium and dark skin which is great if your local Superdrug doesn't stock Sleek as you can get more of idea what would suit you. All in all Sleek seems to understand make up junkies and novices alike - great colour, long lasting and reasonably priced - perfect!
Sleek Blush
One of the real benefits I have found over the last few years when purchasing make-up has been the ability to watch professional make-up artists on YouTube. Not only do you get ideas for application techniques but also product suggestions. The most useful I have found of these are what are known as "dupes". These are product suggestions which are more suitable to most budgets, but which represent similar products to higher end cosmetic brands both in shade and performance. One such product is The Sleek make-up brand, and in particular their range of blushes. These are said to perform as well as higher end brands such as Nars, and since there is a giant price difference (Sleek is £4.40 for 8g and Nars is £20.50 for 4.8g) it makes a real difference to many women. Most simply can't afford or justify this sort of expense on cosmetics, but still want to experiment with new shades and to enjoy lovely results without breaking the bank.
My Purchase
With this in mind I went to my local Superdrug store to purchase the blusher that I decided was my shade. Superdrug is really enlarging their cosmetic ranges, and with their new loyalty card and other offers, including books of stamps at discount prices, I am often in there looking for bargains. First of all I had checked out the Sleek website at www.sleekmakeup.com where I picked out the colour Rose Gold. This is a pigmented shade which is designed to highlight as well as to provide colour. It is a pretty pink with a slight golden shimmer to it, and looks natural and is ideal for a daytime look.
Unfortunately this shade was sold out in Superdrug on the day I went in; but this did give me the opportunity to purchase direct from Sleek themselves, and I have to say this process was perfect. From ordering to delivery it was only a couple of days. Delivery is £2.99 so it is advisable to make up a bigger order than I did to offset this, or to visit Superdrug. I think the item was out of stock in my local store, as I went in on a Monday when the weekend sales had impacted stock levels.
Premium Presentation
The blusher is presented in an attractive case which has an integral mirror built into the inside of the lid. I think for the price this is a really positive benefit, and not what I expected. It is also a good size mirror enabling you to actually use it rather than a token offering. The blusher is not supplied with any applicator tool at all thus meaning that you are expected to have a brush yourself. This is fine for me, as even when I use Bourjois blushers, which have a lovely little brush provided, they still look better if you apply them using a blusher blush of your own.
How Does It perform?
What I absolutely love about these blushers is that they look beautiful on the skin, and certainly with Rose Gold you obtain a lovely healthy glow with a slight golden shimmer with one application. Furthermore this will last all through the day without needing to touch up. They also seem to be very moisturising and easy to apply, despite being a powder format, so if you are of more mature years, as I am, you need not worry about this product sitting in lines or accentuating wrinkles. It simply glides over imperfections and looks soft and imparts a healthy youthful look. Even if you are too heavy handed with the product, it blends out so easily that you can correct an application error with minimal fuss. I know in recent years I have tended towards cream blushes, as now in my early fifties I like to create a moist dewy look, but these blushes impart that despite being in powder form.
A Range Of Shades
There are ten shades to choose from which range from browns (including a very pretty shade called Sunrise) and peaches to deeper pink tones, so there are a range of options for different skin tones and occasions. There is even a coral toned one called Aruba which Sleek say helps you to create a warm Caribbean inspired look.
So far I haven't purchased anymore as I have been so delighted with this shade that I have been using it on many days over the last few months. It has a long lasting attribute which makes the cost even more amazing.
I have been delighted with every Sleek item of make-up that I have purchased. I also love their brand ideal which is to cater for women who are under-represented in the cosmetics market, especially making products for many races and skin colours including Caucasian, Asian, Latina, Black African and Caribbean descents. This together with their pricing structure, which makes the products affordable for all, makes them a market leader in my opinion. It is also interesting to note that their main market is aimed at younger women. They are doing something right then as they have certainly pleased me greatly as a woman of maturing years!
Final Thoughts-
Highly recommended blusher that lasts all day, looks pretty, is easy to apply, imparts moisture and highlights the cheeks to perfection. Highly recommended!

Tis the season for spring lamb, juicy and succulent in roasts, chops, and stews. It's a perennial favorite as the centerpiece of a special occasion meal as well, and over the next two weeks I'll share recipes that are sure to please. The recipes are from my newest cookbook Flavors of Ireland.
Braised Lamb Shanks
Serves 4
My friend Noel McMeel, Executive Head Chef at Lough Erne Resort, Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh, is noted for his eclectic interpretations of traditional recipes. Here the chef braises hearty shanks in red wine and tomatoes and serves them with Champ, a traditional dish of mashed potatoes and scallions or chives.
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 4 (12 oz.) lamb shanks
- 1 large carrot, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
- 4–5 sprigs thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 small garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup water
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Cook the lamb on all sides for 5–8 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a Dutch oven.
2. Add the carrot, onion, and celery to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the wine.
3. Transfer the cooked vegetables and pan juices to the lamb in the Dutch oven. Add the tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, water, salt, and pepper, then cover and simmer for about 2 hours or until the lamb is nearly tender.
4. Remove the lamb shanks from the Dutch oven and transfer to a platter. Cover and keep warm. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan, pressing the vegetables through with the back of a large spoon. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
5. To serve, place a lamb shank in the center of each of 4 serving plates, spoon the sauce over, and serve with the potatoes.
Serves 8
- 4 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2 in. pieces
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- 6 tbsp. butter
- 1 cup minced scallions or chives
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1. Cook the potatoes in salted boiling water for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the half-and-half and 4 tbsp. of the butter. Heat until the butter melts.
2. Add the scallions or chives, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for 2–4 minutes or until softened.
3. Stir the milk mixture into the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining 2 tbsp. butter.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is great with kids and does good on education. If you have a child in 6 to 8th grade. i recommend going there.
I completely disagree with Mr. Fitzgearlds on his review of the Clinton Middle School. The discipline factor that has the most concentration has been the dress code, and I remember the kids talking about how his daughter was sent home to change on numerous occasions because of this. Does that make her a bad kid? No, but still, a dress code is a dress code. Plus, I walk into the middle school and feel very comfortable. Mr. Easton is always in sight and I've seen him kidding around with students a lot, and the students seemed to have a wonderful repore with him. I used to do a lot of substitute teaching and until you walk in the shoes of an educator, you really don't know what a school is like on the inside. (Except when your child tries to tell horror stories for attention about how bad everything is)
I couldn't disagree more with the two previous reviews. Yes, the Middle School is run as a tight ship but often those that complain the loudest about the discipline are the ones who need it the most. The teachers are very caring and always expect the best of the students. It is too bad some parents do not expect the same.
I concur with the reveiw by Mr. Fitzgearld. Clinton Middle school is, for lack of a better term, a Police State. Classes are marched through the halls in strict silence, even whispering results in detentions. The vaguest discontent by a pupil is deemed a threat and expelled. The principal and vice-principal are inflexible in doling out punishments, everything is 'by the book' without exception. The entire building has a hostile and cold 'vibe' as soon as you enter. Shades of '1984'. If I had a choice my children would attend a private school.
I have 3 children that have attended the Middle school. In the last 2 years, my wife and I have chosen to bypass the Middle school in favor of a private school. The atmosphere has become like a 'Police State'. My children are mostly 'A' students that seldom, if ever, are in trouble; however, the students are constantly monitored by the administration and some teachers, who are looking for the smallest infraction. Almost every incident is turned into a major problem. The school is so worried about discipline they lose focus on education. The current administration has NO REPORE with the students or their parents. Until we get a superintendent that won't be pushed, or the schoolboard takes a firm stand with this problem, it will continue to get worse. I would love to send my children back to public school.

No position in baseball compares to the catcher. Crouched behind the plate for every pitch, it's the catcher that can dictate the course of a game like no other. Part game manager, part plate protector, the gear a catcher requires is distinctly different from the other eight players on the field.
Catcher's have always had a big role in the game and as it evolved, so did the need for protective equipment. Before the 1880's, catcher's roles were diminished as the goal of the pitcher was to allow the batter to get the ball in play. Catcher's stood 20-30 feet behind home plate and mostly caught foul tips.
But as the game changed, the need for catcher's gear became apparent. A facemask was introduced first, followed by a chest protector and shin guards. There have been many tweaks to get from there to the high-tech, modern day gear we see today's backstops wearing. Here's a look at the evolution of catcher's gear.
