|Texans' Rosenfels ready for second chance at Colts
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 13 November 2008 13:39
That foolish attempt to go airborne, only to see Gary Brackett scoop up his fumble and score? Forgotten.
The thought of Robert Mathis stripping him for another fumble? Gone.
And the interception that ended Houston's last-gasp chance? History.
For Rosenfels, those infamous final five minutes from Oct. 5 may be interminably replayed forever. It doesn't mean anything to the Texans.
``That game is over, it was over a long time ago,'' Rosenfels said. ``I've put that out of my mind.''
Maybe not entirely.
While the Texans (3-6) recovered quickly after the October debacle, Rosenfels finds himself back in the starring role for this week's sequel.
nally knocked out their old nemesis.
Now the Colts are trying to save their playoff hopes, the Texans are trying to recover from two straight losses and Schaub is out with a left knee injury, meaning Rosenfels has a shot at redemption Sunday.
``What that game does is give me confidence,'' Rosenfels said. ``I feel like I played, for the most part, pretty well against these guys and that gives me confidence to go out there and try to do that again, but just finish the game. Hopefully, the outcome will be reversed.''
It's Rosenfels best hope to make everyone else forget the most painful chapter in the Texans' most frustrating series.
In 13 games, the Texans own just one victory, courtesy of Kris Brown's 48-yard field goal as time expired in 2006. They have never won in Indianapolis, have been outscored 399-226, and Peyton Manning has 31 touchdowns and just five interceptions against Houston.
The most recent game, however, will go down as the most disheartening for Houston. With a seemingly safe 17-point lead, Rosenfels' impeccably bad timing allowed the Colts (5-4) to make a record-setting comeback.
And now, the Texans must come to Lucas Oil Stadium and face a resurgent Colts team that won its last two against New England and Pittsburgh. A third straight win would seem to right everything that has gone so wrong all season.
ooking at that (first Houston) game should take care of that,'' Colts coach Tony Dungy said. ``We have to continue to work and see if we can play better than we have the last couple of weeks and defend our home turf. It's obviously a big game for us.''
Complacency is a word that hasn't entered the Colts' lexicon all season.
The five-time defending AFC South champions are four games behind unbeaten Tennessee in the division race, have already lost two home games and are well off their usual scoring pace. Manning, who has looked much better of late, is still trying to find a running game, and the defense, which is improving, is still allowing 133.8 yards on the ground.
Clearly, Indy expects better.
And, like Rosenfels, Sunday's game provides Indianapolis with a second chance. The Colts don't face another opponent with a winning record until the regular-season finale against Tennessee.
So taking care of Houston is a must.
``Somebody asked me if I thought we were turning the corner,'' Manning said. ``I think when you're 5-4, there really aren't corners out there. Hopefully, we can keep finding a way to win games. That's all we're trying to do at this point.''
The problems are far worse in Houston.
er harsher scrutiny, and then there is Rosenfels, who threw four more interceptions in last week's 41-13 loss to Baltimore.
Manning understands the predicament.
``It's one of those things where you make the play, and they say, 'That's what he had to do, he had to make a play,' `` Manning said. ``When you don't make it, they say 'That was wrong to do.' That's part of playing quarterback.''
The timing, again, couldn't be worse.
This week's rematch and Rosenfels' third start of the season almost certainly rekindle all those ugly images - even if those around the Texans have cleared it from the memory bank.
``Sage will be fine,'' Houston guard Chester Pitts said. ``You move on and get ready for the next one. I promise you he'll bounce back. He'll play extremely well this weekend. I have the utmost confidence in that.''

You may have been expecting yet another "Crash" afterthought scheming to fleece you of another fiddy, but this is a rebirth well worth the investment. [Nov 2007, p.68]
Crash of the Titans, in our opinion, sees the Bandicoot returning to his former glory. If you are after a decent platformer to play alone, or with a friend, we doubt you'll come away from this one disappointed.
Despite following the same formula as a lot of adventure titles, Crash of the Titans' new idea of taking over enemies to resolve battles and solve puzzles is quite unique. Throw in a two player co-op mode and you have some nice replay value on your hands.
With its juvenile humor and low difficulty this is probably targeted for kids, but it's a decent holdover until "Super Mario Galaxy" comes along. [Nov 2007, p.142]
The six hours it will take you to complete the twenty-level contest hardly feels substantial. It is not the slam-dunk comeback fans hoped for from Crash's 360 debut, but it is far from a failure.
This may be little more than a last generation game with upgraded visuals, but it does what it's supposed to, it's a fun platformer that's not too taxing on the brain.
Not as sophisticated as many Xbox 360 games out there, Crash of the Titans is, at the end of that day, a scrolling platformer. It doesn't need to be sophisticated - it needs to be fun, frantic, colourful, noisy, winsome and comical, which is exactly what it manages to be.
It's a fairly sturdy, combat-heavy platformer with a good hook, but it lacks a real distinct attitude.
Mistaken assumptions aside, the Xbox 360 doesn't exactly have a lot of new, colourful, non-shooty blood and gore type games, so if that's what you're shopping for then while you couldn't do much better, you equally couldn't do much worse right now.
It's yet another game in which the mind-numbing clichés of platformers haven't been challenged, but embraced, oh-so-ironically.
Does exactly what it says on the tin, a solid platformer with a few twists and some nice ideas. Could have done with another coat of polish though.
There simply is not enough "Meat" here to cater for older gamers who undoubtedly will breeze through with their eyes half shut, whilst eating, smoking and watching another TV at the same time.
Crash Bandicoot is one of the all-time great platforming characters, not a brawler, so let's keep it that way.
Crash of the Titans is an interesting proposition for platform fans. As a new game in the series, its star loses a bit of shine and character, due to the emergence of titans.
Save for the cooperative mode, there's not much here worthy of a gamer's time that is devoted to buying and renting the best games.
It isn't as impressive as the original games were, but overall Crash seems to be making titanic steps in the right direction.
Taken on its own, Crash of the Titans is not a bad game. It does improve the series with the introduction of new gameplay ideas, but nothing you haven't seen before.
We were pleasantly surprised by Crash. The ability to take over creatures lifts the standard linear platforming from banality. [Issue 26, p.97]
As much as I pick on Crash, I was secretly hoping that Crash of the Titans would put him back in the spotlight. It had an excitingly original concept but failed to take full advantage of its possibilities.
Crash of the Titans makes a solid, if uninspiring, choice for younger fans of the series, but everyone else should head for more enjoyable all-ages fare like "Beautiful Katamari" or even--yes--"Surf's Up". [Holiday 2007, p.82]
If you thought that Crash's first appearance on the next generation of platforms might enhance its appeal from a technical standpoint, forget it. This is very much a game designed primarily with the PS2 and Wii in mind, with a fairly lazy high-def makeover late in development.
Overall Crash of the Titans is an average title that will provide some enjoyment to younger gamers just long enough until something better comes out. And let's be honest here, it's not like the 360 is brimming with decent platformer titles.
We can say that the co-op multiplayer adds something new to this tired franchise. But there aren't many different objectives and the Xbox 360 version is a mere port of the PS2. Maybe someday Crash can recover its old glory, but that day hasn't come yet. [Dec 2007]

CModeJan 23, 2008Not the best platforming game out there but probably the most under-rated.
Nov 18, 2012Definitely different from the past Crash installments, but a fun game nonetheless! The co-op makes it much more enjoyable, but it's fun even without that. You go from episode to episode of varying levels and settings, with new minions to fight and different titans to "jack" and ride. Heck, the titans are probably what make the game as good as it is.… Full Review »

The Outcome of Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy for Achalasia is Not Influenced by the Degree of Esophageal Dilatation

In the past, a Heller myotomy was considered to be ineffective in patients with achalasia and a markedly dilated or sigmoid-shaped esophagus. Esophagectomy was the standard treatment. The aims of this study were (a) to evaluate the results of laparoscopic Heller myotomy and Dor fundoplication in patients with achalasia and various degrees of esophageal dilatation; and (b) to assess the role of endoscopic dilatation in patients with postoperative dysphagia. One hundred and thirteen patients with esophageal achalasia were separated into four groups based on the maximal diameter of the esophageal lumen and the shape of the esophagus: group A, diameter <4.0 cm, 46 patients; group B, esophageal diameter 4.0–6.0 cm, 32 patients; group C, diameter >6.0 cm and straight axis, 23 patients; and group D, diameter >6.0 cm and sigmoid-shaped esophagus, 12 patients. All had a laparoscopic Heller myotomy and Dor fundoplication. The median length of follow-up was 45 months (range 7 months to 12.5 years). The postoperative recovery was similar among the four groups. Twenty-three patients (20%) had postoperative dilatations for dysphagia, and five patients (4%) required a second myotomy. Excellent or good results were obtained in 89% of group A and 91% of groups B, C, and D. None required an esophagectomy to maintain clinically adequate swallowing. These data show that (a) a laparoscopic Heller myotomy relieved dysphagia in most patients with achalasia, even when the esophagus was dilated; (b) about 20% of patients required additional treatment; (c) in the end, swallowing was good in 90%.

Is it REALLY possible to make decent money working from home? I'm not talking about those of you who have employers who let you telecommute, nor am I talking about those of you who are attorneys or accountants who work from home some or even most of the time. I'm talking about all the myriad of WAH ideas I see scattered all over the place.
I've done direct sales. I did pretty good at it, but I never worked my way up. I ended up quitting because the company made a change that would've cut into my profits even more, and I didn't feel that I could continue to make money at it. And even though I did "pretty good", it wasn't anywhere near enough to "replace your job" as they so often claim. And then I do psychic readings on LivePerson when I'm home. I do well--good ratings and a pretty good flow of clients--but I still might only earn $500 or so a month. That's great for extra cash, but it's by no means enough to replace a full-time income.
One of my girlfriends does one of those remote call center gigs. When you call to place an order from a magazine, your call is routed to people like my friend, who work from home. She makes about $500 a month--again, not too shabby, but certainly not a full-time income.
You look all around the Internet and you see thousands of offers wanting you to "work from home", but are any of these actually legit? Can you actually earn a full-time income from home without any professional skills (and by "professional", I mean like a doctor, lawyer, accountant, etc.)? The only women I've ever known that truly DID make a "full-time income" from home were adult entertainers (webcam girls and phone sex operators). I know that in any business, there will be those women at the top who are earning lots and lots of money, but those are the exception to the rule.
The reason I bring this up is that I encountered someone this past week and we had a conversation. I said that I wished employers were more accommodating of the needs of their employees, particularly those who have children or are caring for aging parents. He said that in a market economy, if your employer is not treating you right, you go somewhere else. If your employer loses enough people, he'll wake up and start implementing more family-friendly policies. My response was that almost EVERY employer treats their workers like wage-slaves and the only way to get away from it would be to WAH. I don't think that many people can WAH and make the same as they would WOH. He said that it is possible to make just as much WAH as WOH. I disagree. Who is right?

A head-turner for the hangar
Business Jet Traveler » October 2008
Wednesday, October 1, 2008 - 5:00am
Your keychain fob and polo shirt show pictures of your airplane, so why not the soda machine in your family/media room or hangar? That's the thinking from Denver-based American Soda Machines, which has made a business of restoring and customizing vintage pop vending machines. While the company has units dating back to the 1940s and '50s, the '60s-era Vendo 63 reportedly makes the best "canvas" for custom artwork. Prices for these start at $2,695 plus shipping, but once you own the machine, the price of a can of soda is strictly up to you.

Congratulations go out to 14 Garden City High School Spanish students for achieving gold medals on the 2013 National Spanish Exam.
Students from Peter Giacalone's, Nora Artibee's, Michael Berg's, Marie Nuzzi's, and Dr. Christina Failla's classes earned a total of 19 gold, 20 silver and 20 bronze medals along with 50 honorable mentions.
"Congratulations to this year's winners," stated World Language Coordinator Peter Giacalone. "Garden City students have a long history of high achievement on these exams."
The Garden City Historical Society congratulates Garden City High School senior Kelsey Tierney, the 2013 recipient of the Stewart Fund Scholarship in Memory of St. Mary's and St. Paul's, presented annually by The Garden City Historical Society. Criteria for the $2,500 scholarship includes placement in the top 10 percent of the class, demonstration of excellence and enthusiasm in social studies, and evidence of quality community service.
Tierney graduated with a weighted GPA of 100.04, and will attend Cornell University, where she will major in industrial and labor relations. She plans to become a lawyer and work in the field of government.
The Western Property Owners Association (WPOA) established its high school scholarship program 12 years ago, granting its first scholarship in 2002. Over the years, the program has assisted deserving Western Section students, who've combined academic efforts with volunteer community service in high school, and will go on to continue their education. The WPOA awards two $500 scholarships annually, and congratulates its 2013 winners, Jessie Lyons and Matthew Trabold.
Jessie Lyons is the recipient of the WPOA scholarship in memory of Past Presidents John F. Traxler and Paul J. Muscarella. She will attend Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, NY, pursuing a degree in music industry and technology with the goal of developing a career as a voice over artist in television and movies.
At Garden City High School's Class of 2013 Awards ceremony, Edward W. Blatz, Jr. received the Garden City Chamber of Commerce's "Althea Robinson Excellence in Business Education Scholarship Award" in the amount of $3,000. One of the initiatives of the Garden City Chamber of Commerce in 2007 had been the formation of a charitable foundation. Among the Foundation's missions is the awarding of an annual scholarship to a deserving Garden City High School senior who has excelled in the area of business and who best exemplifies the spirit of the Garden City business community. Blatz had previously been recognized as a special guest at the 11th annual Pineapple Ball on April 19 at the Garden City Hotel.
He achieved a 95 average in his business classes and an overall GPA of 91 at Garden City High School. Blatz also completed classes in finance, college business management, business law, marketing and advertising plus college accounting.
Garden City Public Schools is pleased to welcome Dana DiCapua as assistant superintendent for business. She began her work in the district on July 1 and is replacing Al Chase who is retiring after seven years of service.

Children raise their hands to volunteer to help the Children's Librarians promote the Summer Reading Club during a visit to Stratford School. Children's Librarians visited Stratford School to talk to grades 2, 3, and 4 about the summer programs at the library.
This spring, students at Stewart School in Garden City were given the tremendous opportunity to experience first-hand the powerful feeling that comes from doing something to help others. The Stewart School family participated in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's "Pennies For Patients," a service learning program in which students collect spare change after school or on the weekends to help people with blood cancer.
Funds were collected from friends and family in honor of local student survivors and current patients. Parents received notification and were asked to speak to their children about the value of helping others. With the assistance of Stewart schoolteacher and coordinator Brenda McCarthy, many classrooms implemented learning activities that aligned with the New York State Standards. Members of the Student Council were involved with the publicity and coordination of the donations. Total amounts were graphed and estimates and predictions were made. Many students took on additional chores at home to receive donations and were "matched' by family and friends.
Adelphi University's Emergency Management program recently inducted its first six students into the Emergency Management/Homeland Security Honors Society, Order of the Sword and Shield.
The Order of the Sword and Shield is the first academic and professional honor society dedicated exclusively to homeland security, intelligence, and all protective security disciplines. The purpose of this organization is to promote critical thinking, high scholarship and professional development, to further enhance the ethical standards of the protective security professions, and to cultivate a high order of personal living. Adelphi University's Chapter Advisor Meghan McPherson, MPP, CEM, Program Manager of the Emergency Management Graduate Programs and Coordinator of Center for Health Innovation along with Dr. K.C. Rondello, Assistant Professor and Academic Chair of Emergency Management Programs, performed the ritual of lighting four candles to represent the four core values of ethics, excellence, knowledge and peace.

You can make the salsa verde some time in advance. You can hand chop the ingredients on a board or use a food processor, but do not turn it on for too long. Chop the parsley, mint, capers, anchovy fillets and garlic together.
Scoop them into a bowl and stir in the mustard, lemon juice, olive oil and ½ tsp of salt.
If you are going to cook the tuna on a barbecue, make sure that you light it a good 40 minutes before cooking them. Brush the tuna steaks on both sides with some oil and season well with salt and pepper. If you are using a rigid cast iron griddle, place it over a high heat and leave it to get hot, then drizzle it with a little oil.
Now cook the tuna steaks for 1 minute on either side until nicely striped from the griddle on both sides but still pink and juicy in the centre.
Put the tuna on four warmed plates and spoon some salsa verde on top.

Semillon, Pinot Gris and Dessert Wines are the best wines to pair with Chargrilled Tuna with Salsa Verde.

I installed pads and rotors.what a difference would highly recommend these.

I put the full set of Power Stop drilled & slotted rotors on my 2012 Titan. The factory brakes are garbage. I had the front pads glaze over at 24,000 miles, switched to EBC Green Stuff pads on the front, but when the back started squealing, it was time and cheaper to change out to this kit. Great brakes, follow the break in process and you will be satisfied.
Installing brake pads and making them last isn't as simple as slapping on a new set and going on your merry way. Incorrect brake-in procedures transforms hard-earned money into worthless piles of brake dust or worse. Sadly, an extremely important step is often overlooked: the brake pad bed-in process.
Everyone talks about power: Power to the People (Right On!), Wonder Twin Powers, PowerPuff Girls, nuclear power, but one of the most important powers of all is the power to stop. We're not talking intervention here, we're talking about brakes that work—The Power Stop Brakes.
Know before you buy! Read customer reviews about Power Stop Brakes, Rotors & Pads.
At the 2012 SEMA Show, we met with National Sales Manager for Power Stop, Willie Williams, to talk about the brand's popular Cross Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors.
Stepping on your brake pedal and coming to a safe stop is something many people take for granted. But, understanding how the braking system works can help you choose the best brakes for your vehicle and your driving needs.
Improve your ride's stopping ability when you upgrade to high-performance brake rotors. Available in several styles, performance brake rotors pick up where your stock rotors leave off.

Identify Illinois Spotlight
Identify Illinois is the DIA-branch of Inclusive Illinois, an organization dedicated to the University's commitment to cultivating a community at Illinois where everyone is welcomed, celebrated, and respected. Through education, engagement, and excellence, each voice creates the Inclusive Illinois Experience.
Identify Illinois Spotlight Archive
Q: You have won back-to-back National Championships and enter this season ranked No. 1 in your weight class (125-lbs.). With all the success you've had, what will your goals for this season be?
A: To reach my full potential, whatever that may be. If I can just focus on doing that, I'm pretty confident I can win (again) in March. It's a long, mentally and physically, taxing season being in the Big Ten, but ultimately, it comes down to winning five matches in March.
Q: You grew up in California. What made you decide to commit to Illinois?
A: I have really good chemistry with my coaches. I'm really close with them. When Jeremy and I are both focused, we come up with the best strategies and game plans in the country. I'm also very close with Mark, and he's been my mentor. I have taken every word he says to heart, since I was a senior in high school.
Q: What is your favorite thing about being an Illini wrestler?
A: I love my friends and teammates. The wrestling community is a different environment from most sports on campus, and most of us have been doing this since we were five years old; working with our dads. Our team can relate to each other in so many ways. From inside jokes about kids tournaments growing up to missing holidays because we are training. It's a really special bond we get to share.
Q: Do you have any brothers or sisters?
A: I have a brother who is a freshman in high school and a two-year old sister. My brother wrestles for his high school team competitively, and my sister plays kitchen, for fun.
Q: You recently participated in a public service announcement (which will air publically on Dad's Weekend) on the U of I campus that called for your U of I peers to help end sexual assault. How did that opportunity come about, and why did you decide to participate?
A: It was a pretty cool thing that I got to do with a lot of our athletes around campus to raise awareness about an issue that is a problem on college campuses across the country.
Q: What are your plans for life after Illinois?
A: I plan on sticking around to coach, and hopefully help the team to a title at the national tournament.

Weather Alert
Lake Wind Advisory issued November 23 at 2:25PM EST expiring November 23 at 7:00PM EST in effect for: Pinellas
LARGO - The Fire Marshal is investigating a Monday morning Largo fire at a trailer home that has caught fire numerous times in the past.
Fire officials say they have received at least three previous calls for the same vacant trailer home, and this fire has been called suspicious.
The fire happened at the Shangri-La Mobile Home Park at 249 Jasper St. at 2:30 a.m.
The trailer was unoccupied when the fire started and no electricity was running to the trailer, according to the fire chief.
The fire seems to have started in the floor area and the mobile home is a total loss.
No injuries have been reported and authorities are working to get to the bottom of this fire.

"For example, Property Shark has a map they came up with of all the toxic waste sites in New York. If you're just reading about it, the fact that there are 20,000 toxic waste sites in New York is important, but kind of boring. But when you're looking at it, it's interesting."
Lockhart Steele, publisher of Curbed.com, a real estate blog in an article on the new real estate websites at Inman.com.
BTW, Property Shark has some intersting map technology. I believe its are powered by MapServer since the copyright reads: "Portions copyright 2005 DM Solutions." Cool.
Computerworld New Zealand continues its coverage of Intergraph's Peter Batty as he speaks in that country as part of a GITA conference. Titled "GIS specialists should complement Google, Microsoft," it includes some of Batty's potentially pithy statements:
"for example, mapping the patterns of occurrence of crime in a city, or maintenance of the electrical network" is an area where the specialist companies will still dominate…
I disagree; mapping patterns, that is, putting dots on the map is one of Google et. al.'s strengths, see for example, Chicagocrime.org, one of the first and most celebrated mashups. Now, if Mr. Batty is speaking of narrowing down what might explain those patterns, GIS is certainly required. Said another way, offerings from the "generalist" companies as the article calls them hit the "what is where" part of geography. GIS can go further into the "why, so what?" parts, with human intervention required, of course.
"We don't have 'numerical information systems' conferences any more."
Batty's said that before, highlighting that geospatial is not special. It seems more pithy with entry of Google, Microsoft, Oracle in the game, doesn't it?
He suggests, however, a variant of the open source advocates' "many eyeballs" theory; the more people that use the data the greater the chance that inaccuracies will be detected and weeded out.
Here, here! Now, we just need to be able to capture those corrections, check them… Great minds have been mulling this for years, with alas, slow progress.
Standards for geospatial information are in an uncertain state. "We have an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) that has created interoperability standards supported by the existing industry players, but along come Microsoft and Google with their own idea of standards, and we have potential conflict." There are workarounds, he says; developers are putting "wrappers" around Google's KML language to accommodate it to OGC, but the long-terms future is still difficult to predict.
Another key point. You'd think Batty might be in a position to encourage these players to implement standards. I'm the first to understand that serving up someone else's data via open interfaces implies that the data can be used for free, and licensing prevents that (at least one attempt at wrapping Google in a WMS was shut down) but why not use that as a way to bring in money to the distributor (say Google) and the data provider (say DigitalGlobe)? GlobeXplorer already does that!
OSGeo has posted details of its logo contest - get drawing!
Adena recently noted a couple of items which drew interest that she was not expecting—including my 11-word post on the Google Earth 3D view of Dick Cheney shooting his friend in the face. She also noted some items that did not garner the interest she expected.
I'd like to add to that last point by noting some new stuff coming out that deals with blogs and net-based communities and how they are transforming things like mapping and GIS. Perhaps this is a message we've heard before (seeing as how you're reading this!) but I dunno. Seems like it's implications still haven't been fully worked out yet.
So, two books on individual empowerment, one from the right and one from the left. Both are focused on the role of technology and the communities we live in. How's this for a title: An Army of Davids : How Markets and Technology Empower Ordinary People to Beat Big Media, Big Government, and Other Goliaths? This is from Glenn Reynolds, aka Instapundit, the popular conservative blog. I think I'll give it a read because I want to know more about how technology exactly is transforming things like an individual's access to geospatial information, and self-mapping capabilities without the need for expensive software. I doubt he talks about it exactly like that, but it's not a stretch is it?
The one from the left is Crashing the Gate: Netroots, Grassroots, and the Rise of People-Powered Politics, by Jerome Armstrong and Markos Moulitsas Zuniga (aka Daily Kos). Again I'd like to give this one a read to see how this empowerment can take place.
Finally, my colleague John Krygier just organised 3 sessions at the AAG on "Post-Cartographic Map Design" which struggles with some of these new mapping possibilities afforded by map mashups, map art, locative technologies etc etc (we really need some kind of name for all this!). According to John:
Post-cartographic map design research and mapping seeks to expand the way we think about, design, and create maps in our map immersed society
John rejects the standard view of mapping as a process of factually representing the landscape for a more active and creative process. It makes me wonder about all the ways new technologies such as blogs, open source GIS etc etc are transforming GIS and mapping today?
I ran into the color blindness issue in my first job. We were preparing maps for my boss to use in our work during the Exxon Valdez spill. One of my colleagues noted my color choice for symbols and said, "Stay away from those, Paul is color-blind." We carefully redid maps and charts to colors he could see and I didn't think about it much until I ran into Cynthia Brewer's ColorBrewer tool. She also wrote a great book for ESRI press on basic cartograph for GIS folks. (Oh, and yes, she's a professor at Penn State.)
Which brings us to EyePilot, a new app from a defense contractor here in Boston, that adds a sort of "color tuner" to a computer screen. It allows those with colorblindness to, among other things, tune the colors to something they can see. It runs $34. While interesting, some say they'd not use it much. On the other hand, such a device may enable those who are colorblind to head into jobs currently unavailable to them: electricians and pilots.

LAS VEGAS - DECEMBER 02: NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin speaks at Las Vegas Motorspeedway for the Roast of four time NASCAR Champion Jimmie Johnson during Day 1 of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champions Week on December 2, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Todd Warshaw/Getty Images for NASCAR)
Denny Hamlin wishes he didn't need medical clearance to race. The 32-year-old NASCAR star drove himself to Richmond International Raceway on Thursday, but was begrudgingly preparing for another weekend watching someone else drive his familiar No. 11 Toyota. At his hometown track, that was doubly disappointing because the weekend kicked off with two races on Thursday night, including the Denny Hamlin Short Track Showdown to benefit Hamlin's charitable foundation. ''I'd rather just do it,'' Hamlin said about getting back in the race car. ''Honestly, I know everyone is trying to protect me from myself, but I would have raced at Martinsville two weeks ago.'' Hamlin wasn't cleared to return, however, after a visit Wednesday to Dr. Jerry Petty of Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates, and telephone consultations with others. Much of the phone call sounded like a foreign language, Hamlin said, though he did pick up enough to understa...

Moron Owen Lloyd. Or, What 'Depoliticization' Actually Means July 9, 2013Posted by FCM in feminisms, gender roles, rape, self-identified feminist men.
Tags: Deep Green Resistance News Service, DGR, Owen Lloyd
comments closed
nope, not done with owen lloyd yet! somethings been bothering me about that rape-article he wrote, and its the title. Steven Pinker and the Depoliticization of Rape. the depoliticization of rape. depoliticization of rape. depoliticization. of. hmm. has steven pinker attempted to or succeeded in depoliticizing rape? having not read steven pinker and only having owen lloyds cherry-picked quotes as evidence of whether he did or didnt, i have to wonder if owen lloyd even knows what "depoliticization" means. (according to google, it means "To remove the political aspect from; remove from political influence or control.")
query: if there is a natural/innateness component to men raping girls and women across time and place, is *that* in itself enough to depoliticize it? or, if women started responding to men as a class as if men as a class were rapists, which they are, would womens response be apolitical?
lets discuss. first, rape is a politicized act, its true. there are political aspects and consequences to men raping girls and women across time and place, and yes there is a war on (woron?) in case anyone didnt get the memo. but the political aspects of rape do not start and end there. rape causes unwanted pregnancy in women, and men have set it up so that the big-3 of their patriarchal institutions — medicine, religion, and law — all attach to womens bodies and lives at the moment of conception. and make no mistake — these are political consequences mkay, where political means
1. Of, relating to, or dealing with the structure or affairs of government, politics, or the state.2. Relating to, involving, or characteristic of politics or politicians: "Calling a meeting is a political act in itself" (Daniel Goleman).3. Relating to or involving acts regarded as damaging to a government or state: political crimes.4. Interested or active in politics: I'm not a very political person.5. Having or influenced by partisan interests: The court should never become a political institution.6. Based on or motivated by partisan or self-serving objectives.
check out numbers 1 and 6 in particular. 1 is obvious, but 6 is interesting. self-serving objectives. it serves men as a class that (patriarchal) medicine, religion and law all attach to womens bodies and womens lives at the moment of conception — thats why. they. did. it. it does not have to be this way, but men have made it this way to benefit themselves; they have granted themselves the power to open the door to formal, institutional and state control of women by impregnating us.
so, if there were a biological/innateness component to men raping us, would that remove these consequences? no, it would not. men have created these consequences out of whole cloth and they intend to keep them in place forever, where men have also granted themselves the sole power to remove them or not. get it? politics. in fact, in order to depoliticize rape in this way, men would also have to agree to depoliticize intercourse at the same time. because medicine, religion and law attach to womens bodies and womens lives at the moment of conception regardless of whether we are impregnated through consensual intercourse or rape.
put another way, if the men who had the power to do this were to say "we hereby remove all mechanisms by which male institutions control pregnancy and pregnant women" and then did it, this would at least partially depoliticize rape. of course, it would also depoliticize intercourse, and we would all be forced to see (or willfully ignore, albeit a bit more obviously at that point) how the political intent and effect of intercourse and rape have actually been the same this whole time — to control women — and that men made it this way. politics.
and what if women started avoiding men like the plague they (historically and currently) are? owen lloyd says steven pinker advocates women doing this, although frankly i dont trust owen lloyd to accurately summarize anyones writing or their intent. owen lloyd also suggests that *if* women did this, it would not and indeed could not be a political move on our part — it would be us apolitically "adapting" to rape culture which we shouldnt do because victim-blaming and not only that, black (male) civil rights movement. hmm.
welp. how about this, owen lloyd. since you (or was it pinker?) suggested it, what if women did start avoiding men and we do this both individually (because its the only way we can) and collectively (a happy coincidence of the former) until men remove the political consequences to women of men raping us. would this be political enough a response for you? in practice this would mean until you remove religious, legal and medical mandates, controls and standards of care from the pregnant, laboring, lactating (and childrearing — as long as we're at it) female body. of course this means turning over all control of these things to women, as we discussed here.
when and if you do this, we might come back. not that you ever (ever, ever, ever) would, which makes this useful primarily as a thought exercise, but if you did remove the political implications of rape to girls and women, perhaps then we could address the gnatty little issue of whether rape is *only* political, or traditionally political, or whether it would still exist if it werent so politically invasive, controlling and damaging to us. in other words if rape were just (!!!) "forced sex" (meaning forced intercourse and impregnation) and stopped being "the violent enforcement by men of womens sex role as fuckholes and breeders." (yes, perhaps *then* we could discuss it — if thats okay with you? jeebus.)
this is what the partial* depoliticization of rape looks like owen lloyd, so you know what it looks like if and when you see it. considering that you will likely never see it of course, and certainly never from another male, including steven pinker BTW, from your perspective its probably a largely useless tool. and i shall end on that note because thats just funny.
*i say "partial" because we havent even addressed yet whether traditional political controls are the end-all be-all of the politicization of rape, where men rape women to serve themselves, and where men demonstrate daily that orgasm (and necrophilia) is largely its own reward.

as probably everyone knows, valerie solanas shot pop-artist and celebrity andy warhol in 1968. he survived his injuries and went on being andy warhol for another 20 years. he didnt seem that upset about being shot — according to him, life was unreal anyway, he was incapable of experiencing emotion which television portrayed as strong and real but this did not match his own reality at all. his "art" was flat and commercial, revealing no inner life or imagination at all. one art critic said warhol was brilliant in his function as a mirror, reflecting our own (flat, commercial) culture back at us. culture meaning patriarchy or male culture of course, which is indeed flat and commercial. and dead. necrophilic, if you will. warhol was an inanimate object perfectly reflecting death — and this was a favorable review!
may i suggest here that andy warhol was also a walking target for other men? especially if they knew they could get away with it, how many men would've killed warhol themselves if given the chance? a certain segment of the (male) population would've happily killed him for being the son of immigrants, another would've killed him for being gay, another group would've done it while they were robbing him — he was very wealthy you know. and jealousy. or because his art sucked (the critics largely hated him). there are a million "reasons" men have for killing other men of course, but if one looks closely enough, and taking into consideration mens necrophilia generally, one might see that most (all) of these arent really reasons at all, but justifications. like, what if being gay (or whatever) isnt a reason to kill someone but a justification applied either before or after the fact to something a man simply wants to do and does? that would kind of turn things on their head wouldnt it?
so back to solanas. she shot warhol, but didnt kill him. she was incarcerated for 3 years for this and is remembered as one of the most hated women who ever lived because of what she did. or was it because of what she said? or both? note that men actually love it when women attempt to (or succeed in) maiming and killing men because that opens the door to formal, institutional and state control of us — it has nothing to do with valuing men which they clearly dont. men are simply and obviously of no value to other men, and indeed this is reflective of natural law whereby men are largely redundant, and where one woman is worth millions and even billions of men. this is the truth of the matter and men seem to understand this — whereupon they parasitically attach themselves to and leech off of women from cradle to grave (either their grave our ours).
so what could possibly be mens beef with valerie solanas and with women who dare read her and appreciate her work? (jeez, doods, thought-police much?) while the value of a man to another man (or a mans own value to himself) is approaching zero and they show us this all the time, women, since we are not men ourselves, must apply a cost-benefit analysis to determine mens worth — an objective, not a subjective valuation. for an objective valuation, the equation is benefit minus cost. isnt it? solanas named mens parasitic nature/behavior for what it is, and the concept of male parasitism falls squarely on the cost-side, and it is a devastating one. women report being life-sucked by men constantly but are mostly without words to describe this.
did valerie solanas dare identify/suggest objective criteria by which we might measure mens worth? oh dear. re-reading SCUM confirms that she did. men and mensworld are boring, fatherhood is destructive — and mens life-sucking parasitism — these things represent *costs* to women of living in mensworld and indeed of having men around at all. there is plenty of fertile radfem ground here and plenty to think about and discuss. but you know whats even more interesting to me at the moment? solanas's SCUM manifesto was just a damn good read. it was interesting mkay? it was thought-provoking, audacious and clear.
yes thats right! valerie solanas, public enemy number one, gave women something interesting to read.
