I Need to Be Committed
I'm not feeling bad about myself or like a failure or anything like that. I just need to keep my big picture goals in the forefront. They are:
I want to live each day in a thoughtful, mindful manner. I want to be an importer/exporter of joy. I want to overcome fear. I want better relationships, starting with the one I have with myself.
So to get back in the groove/rut/my comfort zone/routine I packed my foods and beverages for the day and hit the gym at lunch. It felt good.
So trip notes: Yesterday I took the train into the NYC in the morning, but I was not able to visit any of the museums due to their restrictions on checking luggage. I understand, but it was still a bit disappointing. I'd read this on their websites, but decided to try it anyway. No luck. I ended up just revisiting some of my favorite spots. I adore Grand Central Station. I think it is an amazing structure. Plus, there is the Grand Central Market. Great, great food. When I was in NYC for the first time about 9 years ago, I remembered being awestruck by the place and I wanted to see how it stood the test of time and my exposure to more high-end foodie things. It held up well. As did the canolli!
And speaking of holding up well, while I was disappointed not to be able to tour the museums, I was pretty happy with the fact that I was able without much effort at all to schlep my 35ish pound carry on up and down all sorts of stairs. On the train, off the train, down the steps into the subway station, up the steps back to street level, and up and over the pedestrian bridge. I was busy congratulating myself on my prowess while truding up the pedestrian bridge near ground zero when I business-suited man asked me if I needed help with my bag. Perhaps I wasn't as Wonder Woman as I thought! I thanked him very kindly for his offer and told him I was doing fine.
I can remember being exhausted by nearly the same trip nine years earlier. Yesterday, I didn't bat at eye. Even with the bag (which was rolling most of the time, other than the myriad of stairs - I didn't want to wait for the elevators, if they even existed). Anyway, it was all good.
Still swamped. More later.

Sound pretty committed to me.ReplyDelete
Those are really great goals. Even though I've never written them out, I share in those.ReplyDelete
Awww, I would have been disappointed, too. I haven't been in NYC since ... 1989 I think. Wow!
I was in NYC in 2000 and just loved it. I went to the Diamond District and Soho and Times Square and an off-Broadway show...and WTC. New York was one of the best times I've ever had.ReplyDelete
When 9/11 happened, all I could think of was all those places and people totally devastated by the attack.
I'd love to go back and visit Ground Zero and pay my respects.
Have a great "rest of trip."
Ooops, I just realized...you're back (not still traveling). Glad your trip was successful and now you can get back into your groove.ReplyDelete
I know some people who really do need to be committed - just not in the way you mean it here!ReplyDelete
Seriously though, we really get to know our selves "again" and yet for the first time!

Collierville Mayor Stan Joyner was elected to a second four-year term by voters Tuesday.
Mayor Joyner received 72 percent of the vote (15,535), while his challenger Alderman Tom Allen received 27 percent (5,727).
At Mayor Joyner's watch party Tuesday evening, the room erupted in cheers as the numbers showed this would not be a close race.
The mayor credited his victory on what he calls "good ole fashion politicking."
Joyner, joined by his wife Linda of 39 years, says he will hit the ground running focusing on his platform of stewardship, service, safety and schools.

Bobsleigh: Bronze for Kay at British Championships
Updated 9:18am Tuesday 11th March 2014 in Sport By Ned Payne
BOURNEMOUTH'S Anya Kay claimed bronze on her competitive bobsleigh debut at the British Championships in Austria.
The 22-year-old brakewoman and Anna Alexander-Holmes, from Holt in Wiltshire, were in superb form during their two runs in Igls, Austria on Saturday, as they competed against seven other two-woman crews.
A student at Arts University Bournemouth, Kay only attended her first bobsleigh open ID session in June last year.
She has already been tipped to represent Great Britain at the 2018 Winter Olympics and has received financial backing from charity SportsAid and the Ferndown-based John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation.

You too can beat Verizon
LIke some of you I'm all about the latest smartphone tech. I want to have the hottest new phone every few months, but this is unrealistic. Only the diehards with the deepest pockets can do something beyond the typical two year upgrade cycle for acquiring a new phone. Today I'd like to share with you how I "beat the system".
Here was the situation: I wanted to upgrade to the iPhone 5 from my 4S, but I was still under contract. Even if I wasn't, choosing to upgrade and purchase the phone at the subsidized 2 year contract price would force me to forfeit my Verizon unlimited data plan. This did not sit well with me. Not that I use more than 2 GB most months, but still.
So I decided to sell my 4S on eBay. Using this money I would purchase the iPhone 5 at full retail price, thus not "upgrading" and keeping my unlimited data plan. I've sold my phone, and plan on buying the phone at a store this Friday. More importantly, here is the breakdown of the financial math.
I sold my 4S on eBay a few weeks ago for $410. ($400 for the phone, $10 shipping)
Paypal takes $12.19 (approx 2.97%), resulting in $397.81
eBay takes additional cut of 9%, 36.90. (410 * 0.09 = 36.90), resulting in 397.81 - 36.90 = $360.91
(I live in Los Angeles, where we have a 8.75% sales tax.)
The cost of an iPhone 5 (16 GB) at full retail price breaks down like this:
$649.99 + tax = $706.86
706.86 - 360.91 = $345.95
This leaves $345.95 as the amount I'd have to pay in addition to my eBay sale money.
However, let's compare this number to what a typical Verizon customer who is eligible for the 2 year contract price has to pay.
The cost of an iPhone 5 (16 GB) at contract price is $199.99.
There is also a $30 upgrade fee on Verizon now (relatively new fee).
$199.99 + tax(on the full $649.99) + $30 (assuming the tax doesn't apply to the fee..., giving Verizon the benefit of the doubt here) = $286.86.
And comparing my cost to the cost for Average Joe Verizon Customer,
345.95 - 286.86 = $59.09
Essentially, for a $60 dollar premium, I get to:
1. Upgrade a year early
2. Keep my unlimited data plan
3. Not sign another 2 year contract.
I think the math works out fantastically, and encourage other tech fiends like myself to give this a shot.

Illustrators from all over the country, maybe even the world for that matter, will participate today in Illustration Friday. They are given an illustration topic/challenge to think about and illustrate during the week, then they'll post their illustrations on their blogs or websites. Great idea, and wish I had time to participate. I don't. But since this is Friday, and I am an artist, and I rarely post any of my art on my blog, here's a look. Most of this is art that has been created for and has been printed in the newspaper. Also, visit my website for a look at my children's book art.
Whew, just took me almost 2 hours to create this simple less-than-100-word post. Gotta get a life.
Unrelated thought for the day: What a more beautiful world this would be if everyone had a mom like mine.

Today's Kids, Tomorrow's Creatives.. more from Moodle Moot 08
notes from the Moodle Moot 08 e-Learning Conference…
The Keynote from Professor Erica McWilliam, Assistant Dean (Research), Faculty of Education, QUT. Was so inspiring that I had to do two blog posts about it.
Here's the first part of this post, with the engaging presentation linked in there for you to have a look through…
And here are some of the notes I took…
Teaching & Learning
- Promote Peer-to-Peer feedback. Kids give great (honest) feedback to each other. These days, kids get rewarded for their first attempts at any task (this needs to change), because of this, they can't accept negative feedback from elders. So using tools to promote peer-to-peer feedback is a really good idea!
- Promote errors - we need to make errors to learn or we will become a very ignorant society. Help students fail without shame.
- Balance - Too little or too much computing is NOT good learning, there needs to be a balance.
- Create self managing learners – In a more temporary environment, learners need to be able to assemble and edit their learning world. With technology everything is editable/ temporary.
- Passive teaching is bad. Don't teach rope learning, don't care about the answer, care about the learning. Our highest achievers aren't always our best learners!
- Team work – The value of a networked community must be explored. Typically, kids hate group work. So, we need to explain the advantages of group work clearly, i.e.
- A group of bike riders go faster than one
- A Flock of birds fly high than one
- Systemic randomness
- Small groups working together look like one large group (bio-teams)
Attribution: Image: 'Flock'-www.flickr.com/photos/86817324@N00/1752254341
- Diversification – We need to build on our capacity to employ 'co-habitate' with people that aren't like us
- Clear role definitions
- Incubate roles – everyone is good at one thing, utilise this in your teams
- Brokering – Across 'structural' roles, making connections between departments, student groups etc
Attribution: Image: 'me on delicious network explorer'-www.flickr.com/photos/26325011@N00/352439602
The future
- Let Go! - There's too much information out there, we don't need to know it all. We need to get experience, involvement in the communities based around our chosen field sooner. Let go of old ideas. Scientists don't need to know the entire periodic table by heart before they are released into the science community, yet we still insist that they do.
- There is always room for improvement – we may master the functionality of things, but there's always room for improvement aesthetically.
- Build Learning Communities - link people in powerful ways
- Find comfort in being ignorant, things are moving so fast, we can't know everything. The place for 'knowers' is Noah's Ark!
Attribution: Image: 'Pony Disaster Diverted'-www.flickr.com/photos/35468159852@N01/103897400
High Flying Learning Environments
- Connective and Diverse
- Co-Intervention/ Creation and Separation
- Leading and Following
How do we get there?
- Enhancing constraints and removal of inhibitors (creating better guidelines)
- Recognise that low percentile groups 'flock' together (and consequently give and get bad/ negative advice from each other)
- Connect low percentiles with 'high flyers' (online systems give us fast and accurate access to this type of information, like we've never had before. We can now see who's disengaged and needs help and intervene earlier. As an educator, this is your opportunity to use your skills.
- Creativity is now measurable, we need to model creative dispositions
The Creative Workforce

She also has published a book titled, 'The Creative Workforce', which you can order here.

The city of Savannah held a news conference Monday to go over logistic details of the "Spongebob Squarepants 2" movie shoot, which begins in Chatham County this week.
Officials said 100 local extras cast were cast in the sequel, that will be partially live action. The Paramount Pictures film is expected to have a direct economic impact of $8 million and an estimated overall impact of $17 million.
No questions were taken at the news conference about suspended film office Director Jay Self, who will meet with the City Manager at 1:30 p.m. to appeal his suspension. A few of those who complained about him have now gone to her to speak in his defense, sources told WTOC.
Officials from the Savannah Film Office staff; the city's Public Facilities department; Events & Services Bureau Chief Joe Shearouse; and members of the Savannah Film Commission attended the news conference.

I don't pretend to know NFL salary cap rules. But it does seem just a little bit curious that the NFL waited until the day before free agency before telling the Cowboys that they had violated the rules about a year and a half ago.
1. Why couldn't the NFL figure this out a LONG time ago. The Austin contract was signed in September 2010. Why not bring it up in October 2010? Or December of 2010? Or even two months ago? By telling the Cowboys right before free agency this year, the team is hamstrung, including taking any kind of legal action in time to bid on free agents.
2. If a court rules that the NFL acted illegally, what possible compensation is satisfactory? The Cowboys may very well lose players that they would have otherwise have kept or obtained. I had proposed that the Cowboys create lots of cap space and go all in. I thought that was wise because Ware and Romo aren't getting any younger. Now such a strategy is off the table, apparently.
I'm thinking that the NFL should give the Cowboys an extra first round draft choice for the next five years.

I"m assuming that DeRosa goes on the DL, but Rowand doesn't. Based on those assumptions:
1. Burris for DeRosa
2. Belt for Ford
Obviuosly they need another infielder and I prefer burris to Rohlinger. The second move is harder. Ford is nice to have on the bench. But he's a luxury that is difficult to afford on this team right now. Belt provides a potential bat. Plus Burris can play Ford's pinch running role.

Finally a voice signaling that it is not ECB's business nor mandate to fix sovereign debt. To buy BTP-s and Bonos is to make political decisions in an undemocratic way, therefore the buying should stop immediately. Do markets want clarity? Great. Tell them that sovereign debt is...sovereign, thus out of Draghi's mandate.
Get the smoke out of the reform programmes and let the markets judge them. Did Italy reform enough? Great, than the interests will drop. Does the cost of borrowing still increase? Let the national politicians draw conclusions and design solutions by starting to be honest with their voters.
"Cari amici", we are out your money, we are out of German money, we need to work and stop begging.
BREUGEL'S blog rounds up a number of blog opinions on the European Central Bank's move toward explicit conditionality in its policy making, like so:
In the Q&A session following his Introductory Statement Mario Draghi said that "the guidance that we have given to the committees of the ECB differs from the previous programme" [since] "we have explicit conditionality here". "The first thing is that governments have to go to the EFSF", but "to go to the EFSF is a necessary condition, but not a sufficient one". "When governments have actually fulfilled the necessary conditions, namely have undertaken fiscal and structural reforms and applied to the EFSF with the right conditionality. At that point, we may act, if needed."
As I've written before, this seems like a dangerous policy to me, particularly given the already large democratic deficit in the European Union. Having elected governments under the thumb of all-powerful Frankfurt bankers and economists could prove highly corrosive to the EU's political legitimacy.
It would be amusing to see peripheral governments try and flip the conditionality around on the ECB. Spain, Italy and the rest ought to pass ambitious reform and austerity plans, all of which would take effect if and only if euro-zone nominal output returned to the pre-2008 trend level. The ball would then be in the ECB's court; it could ensure adequate demand for the euro zone and get the reforms it wants, or it could keep policy too tight (which would undermine austerity and reform plans in any case) and bring down the entire enterprise.
The euro zone is mostly the ECB's to save in any case; may as well take away any excuse it has not to do its job.

When Malcolm Latif Shabazz was assassinated on May 9, 2013, in Mexico City, it was a devastating blow to people all over the world, but it was especially catastrophic to those of us who knew "Young Malcolm." I thought that it would be important to bring the thoughts of Mutulu Olugbala aka M1 on the life and assassination of Malcolm Shabazz to our readers, because this chapter of Young Malcolm's life has never been told.

KPFA is not living up to its own creed when it ignores the fact that there are more Black people in prison now than were in slavery in 1850. The station is vacillating on whether or not to grant three hours of special coverage to the California prison hunger strike. Pacifica and KPFA are definitely ruining their brand of "progressive" radio with this racist activity. I want to thank all of you who signed the petition to restore me to the airwaves and contacted management at the station and the network on my behalf. But we can't stop. We must loosen the grip of racism that is killing KPFA.

ROXBURY — West Shore Road homeowner Linda Kuras knew she'd hear noises from wind turbines atop Flathead Mountain, which lines the east shore of Roxbury Pond.
She and several other residents fought in vain for years against Record Hill Wind LLC's project to place 22 turbines on town ridges. Turbine noise was one of many concerns.
Now that the multi-million-dollar project has been online for a month and the giant turbine blades are slowly revolving, Kuras said Tuesday evening that she feels somewhat vindicated that her worries proved true.
"I'm not crazy," she said. "I know what I'm hearing."
Kuras told Roxbury selectmen Tuesday night that the low frequency noise sounds like something heavy tumbling in a clothes dryer.
She doesn't hear it every night and she tells her husband not to let her know when he hears the noise. She doesn't want to be unduly influenced to listen for it.
"I know what the ice in the lake sounds like and this noise is not that," she said. "This is a repetitive thumping sound: a whemp, whemp. What was once a quiet night's sleep is now this."
Roxbury Selectman Tim DeRouche also told the board that he, too, was hearing noises from a turbine or more than one turbine. He lives on East Shore Road in Roxbury.
"It sounds like wind gushing right over the mountain. It sounds like a jet," DeRouche told Gordon Gamble of Roxbury.
Gamble is Record Hill Wind's director of community relations. He jotted down the information from Kuras and DeRouche.
Like Kuras, DeRouche said he doesn't hear it every day or night, just when Roxbury Pond is dead quiet and his truck isn't running. He said the revolving turbine blades were facing him when he heard the noise.
Board Chairman John Sutton told DeRouche that people with wind turbine noise complaints should contact the Maine Department of Environmental Protection. He said they have the ability to measure levels of sound, but Sutton is incorrect, Samantha DePoy-Warren, DEP spokeswoman, said by email on Thursday afternoon in Augusta.
"The department does not have the equipment, staff, nor expertise to readily measure sound," DePoy-Warren said.
When necessary, she said DEP contracts a third party sound expert to review sound level data that is submitted by an applicant or licensee.
The applicant/licensee is then billed for the third party's services.
"Since noise is so subjective and everyone's hearing is different, the department is in the process of setting up a complaint response protocol similar to ones we've used for other sites," DePoy-Warren said.
"There's no doubt that residents will hear the turbines, but we're tasked with making sure the development stays compliant with DEP rules."
Until that complaint response process is created, she said people should email Beth Callahan, DEP project manager, at email@example.com, so they have the complaint in writing.
"To evaluate whether the sound heard is directly correlated with operation of the Record Hill Wind Project and is in compliance with the department's regulations, they should include their name, location, time they heard the noise, the weather conditions at the time of the sound, and a sound recording, if possible," DePoy-Warren said.
Sutton also wants turbine noise complaints recorded in the Roxbury town office for the town's own records.
The board also learned that the Roxbury wind farm has a problem with its No. 20 turbine, which faces Roxbury Pond.
Selectman Michael Worthley said they're waiting for a part to arrive from New Jersey.
In other news, selectmen unanimously hired Rob Stevens Jr. of Farmington as the town's assessor's agent, with a salary of $3,434.50.
A planned presentation on the tax impacts of wind farms on communities by Michael Rogers of the Maine Revenue Services was postponed to Feb. 28 due to illness.
Selectmen also decided to contact a Maine Department of Transportation official at the regional headquarters in Dixfield to find out if DOT will be reconstructing Route 120 in Roxbury in the near future.

Are you going ot be shooting with strobes or with available light? This meter is an incident light meter, which means it reads the light falling on the subject. The meter in your camera is a reflective light meter, and it reads the light reflecting off of your subject.
In either case, the meter is calibrated to reproduce 18% grey. The incident meter should give you an accurate exposure to render a grey card correctly exposed. All other tones in your scene should then fall into place respectively. I don't have this meter, but my guess is that you can calibrate it, and a highly recommend that you do so, by metering, taking shots of a grey card, and comparing the shots on a computer with histogram.
The meter will have several modes, much like your camera. There will be an aperture priority, and shutter priority for flash and ambient. With the meter in aperture priority, you set the aperture you want to shoot at on the meter, and it will give you the shutter speed. Vice versa for shutter priority. When metering flash, you'll need to press the meter button and then test fire a flash to get a reading.

If you google "photography+light meter tutorial" you'll get some resources to read that are undoubtedly better than what I could write.

Doctors' plea over A&E (From East London and West Essex Guardian Series)

The Accident and Emergency Department at Princess Alexandra Hospital is under pressure from a huge winter demand
Updated 4:01pm Wednesday 8th January 2014 in News By Zoie O'Brien, Reporter - Waltham Forest
Health bosses are appealing for peoplenot to visit Accident and Emergency departments unless absolutely necessary following a seasonal surge of patients.
Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow has seen hundreds of people seeking medical help every day and the department is struggling to cope.
Yesterday, 263 people sought treatment in the A&E department.
Chair of West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group, Dr Rob Gerlis, said: "We need to keep A&E for real emergencies, especially over the winter period.
"Your first point of contact for everyday illness should be your local pharmacist, 111 or GP.
"Our website has lots of information on the alternatives to A&E including a colourful map with information on all the different NHS services available in the local area, as well as details of out of hours NHS services."
The hospital is putting in place internal measures to deal with demand and local GPs are working to help make sure patients are well enough not to need admission.

The New York Knicks managed to dodge elimination in Game 5 but still need to win the remaining two games in their series against the Indiana Pacers. Game 6 sends the series back to Indiana, where the Knicks have lost both games they've played on the road.
George Hill's status for Game 6 has not been updated. After suffering a concussion in Game 4, Hill did not play on Thursday. The Pacers' already-limited offense struggled without Hill, scoring only 75 points total on 36 percent shooting. Hill has averaged 17.3 points per game against the Knicks in the playoffs.
It wasn't just the absence of Hill's offense that hurt the Pacers. Dylan Murphy of Posting and Toasting took an in-depth look at D.J. Augustin's defensive mistakes doomed Indiana.
Even with Hill out, the Knicks are fighting an uphill battle. Despite Indiana missing a player who is both their starting point guard and a key individual defender, the Knicks shot 41 percent from the field. Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points on 12-of-28 shooting. The difference in Game 5 was that it was enough to push the Knicks to a victory because Indiana couldn't keep up offensively.
Will it be enough on Sunday? Let's take a look at three keys to the game:
Will the Pacers cut down their turnovers?
The Pacers turned the ball over 19 times in Game 5. Yes, they were missing Hill, but turnovers have been a constant issue for Indiana in this series. They've averaged 17.8 turnovers through five games in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Pacers' focus on defense is unquestionable, but they cannot continue to give possessions away. A turnover has a zero percent chance of being a successful field goal. I've done the math.
Can Chris Copeland stretch the floor for the Knicks again?
Copeland was a difference-maker off the bench for the Knicks. He made three of his four three-point field goal attempts and forced his defender to stay on him as opposed to cheating towards Anthony to help. The Knicks need reliable three-point shooting to create space in their offense, and Copeland answered the call for New York.
The battle between Paul George and Carmelo Anthony
George and Anthony have spent the majority of the series battling each other. George has done a good job of corralling Anthony and forcing him into tough shots but has not been very efficient on the offensive side of the ball. Averaging a team-high 18.8 points per game through the series on just 35.7 percent shooting, George has to do a better job of converting his shot attempts. If Hill continues to miss time for Indiana, even more pressure is put on George to be the Pacers' primary scorer while also having to match-up with Anthony on defense.
That's a tall task for a young player who can be the difference between Indiana to closing out the Knicks, or the series heading to Madison Square Garden for Game 7.
Time: 8 p.m. ET
Odds: The Pacers opened as five-point favorites, according to OddsShark.com.

Read full PDF here: 130710 Deserves Better v1.3
The new draft Local Plan poses a severe threat to the future of the place that we inhabit and love.
It threatens Warwick town centre with being no more than a polluted traffic island in a dreary suburban sprawl, its High St and Jury St, Smith St, St Nicholas' Church St and all the other main streets used just as arteries for through traffic.
The local need is for fewer than 6,000 new houses by about 2030. But the District Council proposes more than 12,000, 4,500 of them south of Warwick.
Development would fill a vast area of farmland between Warwick, Leamington, Whitnash and Bishops Tachbrook, massing new housing estates (falsely labelled 'garden suburbs') into a single built-up area. Agricultural land would become plum sites for the mass housebuilders, leaving brownfield industrial sites underexploited.
The rapid growth in population would put heavy pressure on the hospital and schools, perhaps even on water supplies and drainage. The greenfield development would be car-dependent and unsustainable.
Traffic on existing roads would become much heavier, with no new infrastructure but many more multi-lane traffic-light crossroads – at Bridge End, Castle Hill and the foot of Smith Street as well as on Europa Way and into Leamington.
Journeys would be slower and congestion worse. The already poisonous and illegal pollution in Warwick's town centre streets and homes would be worse.
The town centre economy, its historic buildings, and the people who live in them will all be badly harmed if the development is allowed to happen.
Action is very urgent: planning applications for a quarter of the houses could be approved before the Council's consultation on the Plan has closed.
This newsletter outlines the damage that would be done by the Council's proposals and the housebuilders' applications and what we can do to try to change them.
In summary: it's too many houses, in the wrong places, without adequate transport infrastructure, and regardless of the impact on the town centre and its people.

The beginning of February also means the beginning of a $3-million fire state in Carbondale.
A groundbreaking ceremony took place at the new location for the 12-thousand square foot building.
The new station will have major improvements the entire department is excited about including a classroom, geo-thermal heat and cooling and individual bunk rooms.
"Firefighters stay in the station for 24-hours at a time," said Chief John Michalesko. "They work a 24-hour on, 48-hour off shift, so they spend a third of their career in the fire station. So, it's important that they have some of the comforts they have at home, as well."
The project will take about 10-months to complete.

Police arrested a stabbing victim and his girlfriend he's accused of biting on Tuesday, according to a Boynton Beach Police arrest report.
The night started as an argument between Dean Hamel, 51, and Angela Angilolillo, 50, both of Boynton Beach, over their son's graduation.
The argument escalated as Hamel lay on the floor and bit his girlfriend in her right calf. He then got up and began ripping hair from her head, according to the report.

Losing hurts. There's no way around that. No loss hurts more than the first loss, when your pipe dreams of an undefeated season (however crazy) come crashing down, and those negative feelings really creep into your head. Will we win again? Are we really as bad as we looked? Whose fault is this? It happens every year, because going undefeated is nearly impossible.
So, we've gotten that first loss. But...I don't feel all doom and gloom like I'm used to feeling right now. Why? I started thinking about first losses in the past, and I do believe that there's a difference here. I'd like to look at the first loss of the season every year since Pat Fitzgerald became the head coach. Who did we lose to, and how? Take a look at how disappointing each loss was.
2006: vs. New Hampshire - 34-17 (Week 2)
When you lose to an FCS team, it's disappointing. Don't need to say any more than that.
2007: vs. Duke - 20-14 (Week 3)
This Duke team was well on its way to possibly breaking NU's infamous 34-game losing streak. The 'Cats stepped in to save themselves the record (not that they wanted it), and Coach Fitz went for it on a 4th down instead of taking an easy field goal. He admitted later that that was the wrong decision.
2008: vs. #23 Michigan State - 37-20 (Week 7)
Perhaps the only game on the surface that wasn't inherently disappointing, until you look at the details. Northwestern was coming in at 5-0 out of a bye week, but let Sparty go up 17-0 to start the game. The 'Cats never got closer than 10 points.
2009: @ Syracuse - 37-34 (Week 3)
For the second straight year, Northwestern started their first loss of the season by giving up 17 unanswered points. They battled back in this one, only to lose on a last-second field goal. In perspective, this Syracuse team went 4-8. The 'Cats went 8-4 en route to that crazy Outback Bowl.
2010: vs. Purdue - 20-17 (Week 6)
One of the first "Northwestern loses with expectations" games that I can remember, the 'Cats dropped a night game to Purdue, one of the few B1G teams that most fans have little fear for.
2011: @ Army - 21-14 (Week 3)
This one really hurt. Army was bad. LTP organized a big ol' Sailgate, and the 'Cats fell flat against the triple option.
2012: @ Penn State - 39-28 (Week 6)
The first blown 4th quarter lead that no one will let us forget, the 'Cats gave up 22 unanswered points in the final 15 minutes.
2013: vs. #4 Ohio State - 40-30 (Week 6)
No need to recap this one.
What sticks out to me here is that in each of these games, before last night, Northwestern either legitimately played poorly (Michigan State, Syracuse, Penn State), or lost to someone that they had no business losing to (New Hampshire, Duke, Purdue, Army...probably also Syracuse). Last night's Ohio State game featured neither of these things. Northwestern played well, very well. Look at those stats, and the only real difference between the two teams is in rushing yards. Northwestern actually has a slightly significantly higher passing total, but it comes nowhere close to making up for the discrepancy in rushing. All other stats are highly similar between the two teams. And don't you say that this was a game that Northwestern had no business losing. Ohio State was the pick all the way.
In the end, I saw this first loss of a season as the first one under Fitz that wasn't disappointing beyond the traditional "we lost" feeling. With all the attention focused on this game, the entire country saw that the 'Cats can hang with the big boys. Before this, plenty of people expected Northwestern to get pounded because, well, in history, that was what Northwestern did. Regardless of the loss, Northwestern performed significantly better than most outside of diehard 'Cats fans expected. And that makes this first loss different. A loss, yes, but one where the team played better than most thought. I'll take that.
As I finish writing this, the polls have come out for the next week. Northwestern is #19 in the AP and #18 in the Coaches. Yes, after this loss, they only dropped three (3) THREE spots in both polls. When was the last time you saw a Top 25 team lose and only drop three spots? There's all sorts of confidence here.
Go 'Cats.

September 11 Digital Archive: XML Document
Story:I'd been at work for about 1/2 hour, and was watching the news as the second plane hit. I was scheduled to go to a meeting in another part of the city and listened to the news broadcasts all the way there. The reality of the horror didn't really sink in until my meeting - and work - was cancelled, and I was heading home. Listening to the horror in hardened reporters' voices, hearing one break down and start to cry; the horrible destruction not just of buildings but of a way of life. A belief in ourselves and a basic sort of trust in others.
Memory:The looks of horror on the faces of those people racing out of the clouds of dust and debris from the falling buildings. They truly came out of the jaws of Hell.
Affects:The attacks were a harsh awakening for the American public. I don't think, until then, any of us were truly aware of just how vulnerable our country is to this sort of attack (we still are).

Police hopefuls from across the four states come to head to South Joplin Middle School for training. The test days occur when the department says they're looking to hire.
According to Sergeant Ryan West, J.P.D. could potentially hire around five new officers from this batch of recruits. Potentials go through a physical and written test, putting them in real life situations.
"It's just tasks that have been identified as things that a police officer would have to do in a normal course of duty, there are simulations for jumping over different types of fences, running up and down stairs, simulations for rescuing an incapacitated person, and things like that" says Sergeant West.
"You know I thought I'd be shaking and nervous, but you know just try and relax and run through it and I think for the most part I was able to do that" says candidate Issac Costley.
West says the process takes about 60 days to complete.

Thank you mbn for taking the time to post the following. ~~~Hawk
Coach Davis has said he intends to implement more 3-4 principles in the defense this year. If a more traditional 3-4 becomes the base defense, how is that likely to impact the roster and do the players we have fit a 3-4? I thought I would take a crack at each level of defense and see how and who fits the 3-4 if the Cards went to a true 3-4 base.
Nose Tackle: The heart of any 3-4 is the Nose Tackle with this person ideally 6'2"-6'4" and 330+ pounds. The main role is to demand a double team from the center and guard and to stuff the run. At 6'4" 304, Bryan Robinson is not a nose tackle and would probably move to DE in a true 3-4, which is where he was intended to play when they brought him in. Gabe Watson and Alan Branch on the other hand, fit the bill at 329 and 338 respectively. If he will play his role, Branch may blossom as the 3-4 nose tackle. He doesn't have to rush the basser, he just needs to keep his backside low and push some interior lineman around. In many ways his assignment is less complicated in a 3-4. If he could do that he may find a home for himself for the future. If they run a true 3-4 base, I see Branch improving and increasing his playing time if he will just try which has been his biggest knock the past two seasons.
Defensive End: Calais Campbell is custom made for a 3-4 DE as he is long and strong. Tall DEs tend to do better in a 3-4 because they can match tackles arm length and keep separation. A DE's job is to close down run lanes, hold the edge and force the offensive tackle to pay attention to him. Unlike a 4-3, the DE doesn't have to be the source of pressure in the pass; he has to eat blocks, break up passing lanes, and close down running lanes. Campbell looks like the ideal 3-4 DE. Darnell Dockett, on the other hand, is the classic DT for a 4-3. I am not sure he is willing to play the unglamorous role that a 3-4 DE plays. He is shorter than the ideal 3-4 DE. It wil be interesting to see what the Cardinals do with him or if they will still run a hybrid scheme just to highlight Docket's skills. Campbell fits better than Dockett in the 3-4.
Outside Linebacker: These are the real play makers of a 3-4 as they are the main source of pressure on a quarterback. While the front three occupy the offensive linemen, the OLB bring the heat when the situation warrants but they also have to be able to drop into space and cover. Much has been said about the challenge of learning to play in space and that "tweener" DE that convert to OLB cannot do it. I think Bertrand Berry, Cody Brown, and Will Davis will not have a problem learning coverage drops. They will not have to cover a TE downfield in man-on-man but more as a zone coverage. I think the bigger challenge will be learning to defend the run in space. It is key to protect your legs and fend off blockers in space. The Cardinals are not there with thier OLB yet, but I do think they are closer with the additions of Brown and Davis and with the departure of Travis Laboy. Clark Haggans has fit a 3-4 OLB before and is better than Chike Okeafor but both will do well enough. Will Davis' maturation at this position will go a long way to show Rod Graves' draft insight and what the future brings at this vital position.
Inside Linebacker: Gerald Hayes and Karlos Dansby have been great in a 3-4. They have size and quickness to fill the lanes and to flow in coverage. With both being around 250, they handle themselves inside effectively. Where I have concern is the depth at ILB. Pago Togafau might be able to play the strong side ILB but I would like to see him add another 5-10 pounds to his 242. He probably could pull it off if needed on the strong side but right now he fits better on the weakside ILB. The weakside ILB can be a little lighter because he can flow more easily and fill gaps from the back side or string it out on the front side. Ali Highsmith has added 7 pounds and is now listed at 230. He is moving in the right direction. However, in a 3-4 ILB even on the weak side, his size will be exposed if the offense comes with a two TE set or runs heavy fullback sets. Highsmith seems to be a better fit for that weakside OLB in the 4-3. Yet Davis has said he likes a hard hitting, active ILB even if they are not the ideal size and we know he is high on Highsmith. I am just not convinced that Highsmith currently has the size to someday replace Dansby if Karlos moves onto greener pastures next year. Lighter ILB tend to get lost inside and for this reason I think Hobson has a greater chance to make the team than you might think. He is 6' 0" and 254 pounds. He can play inside, as he showed last year, and he has been playing some OLB so far this year. Although short for a OLB he has shown versatility and that kind of versatility is valuable. Whether he can get past the lingering doubts of his time with the Jets is yet to be seen. I just think that HIghsmith still has an uphill road to make this team, and that Hobson is making a stronger case for himself in a 3-4.
Secondary: For once, this is pretty obvious for the Arizona Cardinals. They play the same whether it is a 3-4 or a 4-3. With Rashad Johnson's arrival (who is a true center field ball-hawk safety) we now have both Antrel Rolle and Adrian Wilson who can come up into the slot and box and enable nickle and dime packages to have a lot of fexibility (not a symptom of the shift to a 3-4 but still cool!). The more I study Rashad Johnson the more I think this may be the last year for Rolle. This kid is a starter and fits the Cardinals' scheme much better than Rolle. Johnson was graded in the mid 2nd round on most online boards, and the Cardinals got him at the end of the 3rd! He is a steal!
Well that is my take on the impact of a more standard 3-4 base defense on the current Cardinals roster. What is your take? Who will be benefited and who doesn't fit if the Cards decide to play a more traditional 3-4 base this year?

Cast a Giant Shadow (1966)
After World War II, as you are probably quite aware by now, the official state of Israel was formed in Palestine. And then all hell broke loose.
Cast a Giant Shadow attempts to tell a bit of that story, as former American officer Mickey Marcus (Kirk Douglas) goes to Israel to help establish their military, fend off those who would oppose them, and legitimize the newly formed government.
Now, I don't want to get into an argument about the politics of the Middle East, so I won't touch on any of that. Sure this is based on a true story, and the American bias is obvious, but really this is an excellent war movie from the "docu-drama" category. With plenty of artistic license thrown in.
Yeah, you've got to contend with the tacked-on love story bit, where Marcus gets estranged from his wife, and falls for the hot Israeli chick. But its all good.
Basically the plot follows Marcus as he's thrust into the battle early on his arrival to the region, and has to figure out how to unify about four different "militias" under the flag of the provisional, still unrecognized government. Once this is accomplished, he's lauded as a hero, both there and at home. Unfortunately he meets his doom quite by accident, and that's where the movie ends.
What strikes me most odd about this is the near upstaging of Douglas by the "special guest" cast, who only get billed at the end of the cast list in the credits. You've got the US Army General Randolph whom Marcus flaunted (and still does) during the war played by none other than John Wayne. Then there's the commander of one of the Israeli factions, Asher Gonen, played by Yul Brynner. Wait for it, there's more. Toward the end, Frank Sinatra of all folks shows up as a (should I say *the*) pilot for the Israeli "Air Force" (once you've seen it you'll understand the quotes…)
Overall this star studded cast along with Angie Dickinson as Marcus' wife, and Senta Berger as Magda, the other woman, makes Cast a Giant Shadow a movie worthy of its name.
Really I wasn't expecting to like this one very much, I figured it'd just be a "let's just hash some history" type of story, but its done really well. Yeah there are some stereotypes portrayed, most notably on the Arab side of things, but you just have to run with it.
Regardless of your opinions of the middle east situation, I'd recommend Cast a Giant Shadow, if nothing else to learn about a bit of history you probably weren't aware of (I know I wasn't at all) and to watch a cast of great actors click together.

Cast a Giant Shadow is based on Ted Berkman's biography of Colonel Mickey Marcus, the American soldier who served as an adviser in the fight to establish the state of Israel in 1948. Marcus (played by Kirk Douglas) must decide whether to settle into peacetime America or follow his more natural, combative instincts abroad–a dilemma symbolized by a love triangle involving wife Angie Dickinson and Senta Berger as a soldier whom he falls for in Palestine…

Thousands of students each year apply to live on-campus at the University of Houston. That process could become more selective if a new senate bill is approved in Austin.
Republican State Senator Tommy Williams, from The Woodlands, authored SB-146.
It would allow university Police Chiefs and Housing Directors access to the Texas DPS database to check on any pending charges a student has on their record.
"Currently they only have access to the public site which only lists convictions," said Williams. He says he presented the bill after hearing about crimes committed by students who live on-campus across universities in Texas.
"There's a real heightened sense of we need to make sure we are doing all we can to keep students at our public schools and universities safe," he said.
At the University of Houston some students who live on campus think the bill is a good idea.
"I would love to know that I'm safe and the person living next to me or on top or below me is not, you know, a criminal," said Melissa Hoang, a first year student at U of H.
But not everyone thinks the bill is 100% fair to incoming students who may have made a mistake in the past.
"As far as like someone who is trying to improve their lives and make it better for their lives, that's not totally fair for them at all," said U of H Senior Silver Enyinnia.
The bill, Williams says, would not affect the student's ability to enroll for classes, only whether they can live on-campus. For Hoang it's a move she says her parents would also appreciate.
"Especially when I'm a girl, I'm 10 hours away from home so they would feel more safe about it," she said.
The bill still has to pass the Texas House before it goes to Governor Perry to sing into law.

Europe stocks up as GDP beats expectationsPUBLISHED: 14 Aug 2012 18:02:12 | UPDATED: 14 Aug 2012 18:03:03PRINT EDITION: 14 Aug 2012
Europe's main stock markets have climbed in opening trade as sentiment was bolstered by better-than-expected economic growth data in France and Germany, dealers say.
In early trade on Tuesday, Frankfurt's benchmark DAX 30 index of leading companies added 0.8 per cent to 6965.04 points and the Paris CAC 40 gained 0.56 per cent to 3445.59. London's FTSE 100 firmed 0.04 per cent to 5833.93 points.
The German economy, Europe's biggest, beat analysts' expectations to grow by 0.3 per cent in the second quarter, buoyed by rising exports and robust domestic demand, official data showed.
Analysts had been forecasting gross domestic product (GDP) expansion of just 0.2 per cent for the period from April to June.
The French economy meanwhile registered zero growth in the second quarter, beating expectations it would begin a slide into recession amid the ongoing eurozone debt crisis.
Eurostat was to later release its flash second-quarter estimate for the eurozone, which posted flat growth in the first quarter.
"Both (GDP) releases bode well for overall eurozone 2Q GDP figures out in a few hours, though markets expect continued weakness in Spanish and Italian economies," said ETX Capital trader Ishaq Siddiqi.
"As such, expectations for stimulus action by the European Central Bank will remain firmly supported as the outlook on the whole remains poor."
A recession is defined by economists as two consecutive quarters of contracting GDP.

Anyone else think they could make a movie about Nero?

Yes. And this very mixture of the worst of both worlds is the problem. Do a decent Khan copy (like, guessing that the next villain is Khan and a fairly good one, in the upcoming movie) or do a decent mystic character.
But as you pointed out the focus of the movie is thankfully not on this abysmal villain so it is just a minor issue. Nero aka Khan 3.0 aka Shinzon 2.0 is as horrible as Shinzon aka Khan 2.0 but does less damage to the movie as his role is smaller.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam

It appears the icy conditions contributed to a fatal accident this morning in Rutland Town.
State police say 43-year-old Donna Arnado of Rutland was headed north on Route 7 when her SUV went out of control on an icy bridge and spun into the path of an on-coming pickup. Arnado was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the truck suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Police say though Arnado was obeying the speed limit, drivers should remember those limits are for driving in perfect weather conditions."Typically, if you have to, reduce the speed. If the speed limit is a 35 zone, sometimes 35 is a little too fast for those conditions," said Vermont State Police Sgt. Thomas Mozzer. "This morning I don't believe any salt or sand was dropped at that point, speed should have been probably 35-40." Sgt. Mozzer says police see an uptick in morning accidents during the first few snowfalls of the year.

Anyone gone to a UB Hockey game this season? How do they look? Where have they been playing their home games? Any players who've been playing particularly well?
From the results so far, I see some ups and downs, as can be expected from any first year program. Looks like they're mid-table in the ECHL rankings, part of the ACHA, and playing against local colleges NU, Canisius, RIT and others.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

AKU-ISMC Faculty Awarded British Academy Grant
August 15, 2011
The funding will enable Professor Spellman Poots to engage with British Shia Muslim youth in order to better understand how they negotiate a sense of self and belonging in western secular society. Where attention has been given to Shias in the UK, it usually focuses on Shias in London. By researching Shias in Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester, Professor Spellman Poots hopes to redress this balance. She plans to visit schools and the work place in order to see how Shia traditions and rituals are interpreted and put into practice in the public domain; she will also visit prisons to speak to Shia inmates and chaplains.This project builds on earlier work by Professor Spellman Poots, including her 2005 book Religion and Nation: Iranian Local and Transnational Networks in London, and complements her University Research Council grant for her research project on Shia Muslims in the West. The 18-month project will begin in early 2012.

Checotah native Carrie Underwood makes her debut as thew new voice of primetime football on NBC's first "Sunday Night Football" broadcast of the 2013 NFL season tonight as the Dallas Cowboys host their NFC East rival New York Giants. Coverage begins with "Football Night in America" at 6 p.m., with kickoff at about 7:20 p.m.
The opening theme will continue to play each week of the season to kick off "Sunday Night Football." Below, check out the preview and behind-the-scenes video of Underwood belting the song.
The country music superstar told the Associated Press that she tried to make the "Sunday Night Football" theme song "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night" her own as she took over as the voice of primetime football this year.
"Waiting All Day for Sunday Night" is set to the original Joan Jett song, "I Hate Myself for Loving You" and marks Underwood's first production with NBC Sports. From 2007-12, the song was performed by music superstar Faith Hill.
"We were definitely mindful — she had put her mark on it for so many years," Underwood told the AP in a phone interview. "We definitely wanted to go in and make sure we switched gears a little bit and made it sound more like me. And changed up the look and the feel just so it wasn't, you know, the same song with a different blondie up there singing it."
In 2006, the inaugural season of "Sunday Night Football," Pink performed the opening tune. But Underwood told the AP she didn't go out of the way to make her version sound more country.
"I used my producer so there are going to be some elements that sound like me, of course, that's what we wanted. But we weren't like, "Hey, let's use some fiddle," or, "Hey, let's use some steel guitar." … We just wanted to make it me and make it fit the situation," she told the AP.
For the second straight primetime television season in 2012-13, "Sunday Night Football" ranked as the most-watched (persons 2+) show, and the No. 1 program across the key demographics of Adults 18-49, 18-34, 25-54, as well as Men 18-49, 18-34 and 25-54, based on Nielsen live + same day data. Additionally, SNF was the No. 2 show among Women 18-34, and Women 18-49 based on Nielsen live + same day data.

Vestal Poker Damper Control
The poker control comes standard with the Vestal Cast-Iron Damper and is 12" in overall length. It is what most homes have in their fireplaces for damper control. It consists of a "catch" piece that bolts to the damper frame, and a control arm which attaches to the damper plate with a cotter pin (provided). Moving the hole in the control arm regulates the width of the damper opening.
Very easy to install or replace one of these.

NOAA has issued its updated Atlantic hurricane season outlook, still calling for an above-normal year - with the possibility it could be very active.
The agency says conditions in place now are similar to those that have produce a number of active seasons since 1995.
Those conditions include above-average sea surface temperatures and a stronger rainy season in West Africa - which produces wind patterns that help turn storm systems there into tropical storms and hurricanes.
NOAA predicts a 70-percent chance of an above-normal season. They think we'll see 13 to 19 named storms (we've had four so far), six to nine hurricanes and three to five of those hurricanes could become major storms - Category 3 or higher.
The 30-year seasonal averages are 12 named storms, six hurricanes and three major hurricanes.
The new outlook is similar to NOAA's pre-season prediction in May, but has a reduced expectation for extreme levels of activity because of a decreased likelihood La Nina will develop. La Nina's reduced wind shear would open up more opportunities for storms to develop.
In May, the outlook called for 13 to 20 named storms, seven to eleven hurricanes and three to six major hurricanes.
Other factors for the reduced prediction are the lack of hurricanes through July, more variability in the wind patterns across the tropical Atlantic Ocean and slightly lower hurricane season model predictions, according to NOAA.
