The executive committee for the East Baton Rouge Parish Democratic Party has come out against proposals up for debate to reduce the size of the parish School Board.
The Democratic Party's opposition to the school board redistricting follows on the heels of opposition by the local Republican Party, the Louisiana NAACP and the parent group One Community, One School District.
The Advocate reports the Democratic Party executive committee vote Tuesday night was unanimous.
The parish school board meets Thursday to consider dropping an 11-member plan the board adopted two years ago, which later was approved by the U.S. Justice Department, in favor of a plan with fewer members, ranging from seven to 10, and doing so just weeks before qualifying for the Nov. 4 elections.

No matter where you buy supplements, chances are they have more protein powders than just about any other kind of product. That may be why one of the most common questions we receive is, simply, how do I choose one from among all these options?

Dear AllStarHealth,
I'm a 30 y.o. female and new mother. Over the last year or so, I've become aware that my hair is growing much slower than it did while I was in college. It also seems to be thinner and drier and falls out more easily. My doctor seems unconcerned, just said to make sure to keep eating enough and take my prenatal. Believe me, I eat enough and I've been taking this prenatal for over a year now. There's got to be something else? I 've seen "hair vitamins" , should I use one of those or can you suggest any particular supplements that might help?
Malibu, CA
Dear Gabriella,
Congratulations! Well, on one hand there are indeed a few nutritional supplements that 'work', that people have successfully used to improve the growth and condition of their hair. On the other hand
Dear AllStarHealth,
One thing I'm still confused about with protein shakes is whether they are going to make you slimmer or bulkier?
The vast majority of nutritional supplements are already cholesterol-free or have nutritionally insignificant amounts of cholesterol. None are high-cholesterol when used in typical amounts. Protein shakes and meal replacement shakes are a great idea for those on low cholesterol diets because they take the place of high-protein higher-cholesterol foods like meats, dairy, seafood and eggs.
Protein and meal replacement shakes have gone mainstream in a big way. Once solely the province of bodybuilders and hardcore dieters, nowadays everyone drinks shakes. But it can take some practice and trail-and-error before you can truly be called a Shake Master. Here's Part One of our Guide to Shake-ology; some FAQ's and other pointers. [...]

Tennessee state lawmakers wasted no time taking advantage of a new constitutional amendment, passed on Election Day, that allows the state legislature to pass laws restricting abortion rights.
A federal lawsuit claims election officials improperly counted ballots of those who voted in favor of Amendment 1 but abstained from casting a vote in the gubernatorial election.
Following the passage last week of Amendment 1, the Republican-dominated Tennessee legislature will move forward with anti-choice laws as soon as possible, a state GOP lawmaker said.
The measure amends the constitution to include language that says "nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the funding of an abortion." The amendment would also allow state lawmakers to "enact, amend, or repeal statutes regarding abortion."
Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell, who will likely become majority leader if he wins his re-election campaign next week and if the Republicans win the Senate, has promised his base that a 20-week abortion ban is a priority for him.
Shortly after early voting began in Tennessee, local media reported that some voters have received misleading information about Amendment 1 and that there have been cases of voting machine irregularities.
The emergency request comes after a lower court ruled the law could take effect November 1.
State lawmakers nationwide have passed legislation to restrict access to reproductive health care, but in New Mexico, attempts to restrict reproductive health care have gained little traction. However, reproductive rights advocates fear that the political landscape may soon change and threaten abortion access not just in the state, but throughout the region.
Staff members at the last remaining legal abortion clinic in the Rio Grande Valley have been repeatedly left without a job in the wake of flip-flopping court decisions.
The only remaining abortion clinic in the greater Cincinnati area, which serves an estimated 2.1 million people, was hit with a citation this month from the Ohio Department of Health for failing to have a written transfer agreement with a local private hospital.

Australian clouds compared
Summary: Cloud has matured in Australia. We take a look at some of the providers available, putting them head to head.
The information sought from each provider we looked at, with an explanation, follows.
1. Organisation
The name under which the company is trading.
2. Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offering name
The name that the provider is giving its IaaS product.
3. Online sign-up
Can businesses sign up for the cloud service online in a self-service fashion?
The ability to sign up and transact, without interacting with a salesperson or an account manager, is viewed by many as a critical element of cloud computing. Technical people have generally researched what they want, so they just want to get on with the job. They prefer less manual interactions, and more means to automate activities. This can be in stark contrast, though, with less-technical management or management of enterprise, which may want to engage in a more traditional sales process.
4. Location of datacentre
In some circumstances, even though you have a contract with an Australian entity, that entity could be using an offshore facility. Some customers have mandatory requirements to keep data in Australia. Communication latency for certain types of application scenarios can also be too high with offshore cloud providers. Using Secure Shell to access an Amazon EC2 instance, for example, can be very frustrating when latency is poor. However, this is not true in other circumstances or application scenarios.
5. Contract jurisdiction
In the event of a legal dispute, which laws apply to the data? Which courts will rule or arbitrate?
Having a contract with an Australian organisation hosting data in a datacentre located in Australia makes it likely that Australian law would be applied to the data. Scott Stewart, Longhaus' cloud-computing analyst, said that Australian organisations can still be subjected to the US Patriot Act if they have operations in the United States, due to treaties signed between the US and Australia. It would have to be exceptional circumstances, however, for such powers to be invoked.
6. Pay by credit card
Can you pay for the service with a credit card? Doing so provides a confirmed identity to the provider, and also shortens the time to bring a new customer on board.
7. API for external automation
Cloud computing is about on-demand access, with minimal management effort or service-provider interaction. Without an API, manual intervention is always required. A good API allows for tasks to be automated, and for metrics about usage to be retrieved. It also opens the door for innovative uses of the cloud provider's services. An example would be retrieving spot prices for virtual machine instances. Based on the pricing and availability, a determination could be made to start a job with that cloud provider.
8. Minimum commitment
What is the shortest amount of time that you can use the service for? A short commitment provides customers with flexibility. It is not uncommon to see it as 1 hour for compute if you have already set up an account with the cloud provider. If you only use an hour at a time, then that is all that you will be charged for on the next billing run. However, if you're asking the cloud provider for dedicated infrastructure in a private cloud configuration, the minimum commitment will be longer. Some providers will use the enterprise tag to bump up the minimum commitment.
9. Compute cost (CPU per hour)
How much will a CPU cost per hour? Depending on your transactional needs, different CPU configuration and memory combinations are normally available. If you have a low-usage website, you can ask for an instance type that is appropriate. The cost will increase with more compute capacity, with the higher costs for more cores or CPUs and memory.
10. Storage cost (GB per month)
How much does it cost to store 1 gigabyte per month? Rates for storage will vary, with some cloud providers having an initial allocation that can be extended. The more you store, the cheaper per GB it can be.
11. Data transfer (cost per GB)
Many providers don't charge you for internet traffic coming in, but will charge for internet traffic going out. There may be a rate table applicable for the provider. Internal traffic within a datacentre is normally not charged. However, if a cloud provider has multiple regions, then a charge to transfer between the regions may apply.
If there is a significant amount of data, it may not be viable or cost effective to transfer it over the internet. In that case, a service may be available where the data from posted hard drives can be loaded into the cloud provider's storage.
12. Load balancing
If a new server is provisioned, it also needs to be added into the load balancer, and, if de-provisioned, removed from the load balancer. The load balancer's job is to distribute the workload between available resources.
13. Customers
How many customers does the provider have, and how big are they? This can be a marker for reliability, but it may also affect bandwidth and latency.
14. Security
When you're relying on someone else to keep your data safe for you, security is paramount. Unfortunately, it's very hard to compare security in a table, but we've taken a look at what security measures are possible for cloud providers and what customers should look for.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These turned out EXACTLY how I hoped they would! I requested that they add my wedding website to the front, and they did so without any trouble, and it still looked great. I got the "draft" within a few hours, and received the save the dates a week earlier than my order originally said. :)"
"I absolutely love these save the dates! The design and ordering process was incredibly easy. I received them quickly and was very pleased with their quality. The paper is thick and beautifully textured! I would have chosen a different envelope color, though. The metallic gold is very pretty, but was difficult to find a pen that would show up well."
"We have gotten so many compliments on this save the date magnet....it is perfect for our destination wedding to St. Lucia. The online design process was beyond easy, the order shipped the same day I placed it, and the quaility and price were fantastic. I will be ordering from Wedding Paper Divas again, to be sure!"
"I love how our "Save the Dates" looked!!! It was exactly what I was hoping for. Quality was great, printing was great! colors were perfect!! Absolutely loved them!! Definitely would recommend these to others!! Now to design our invites!!"
"I requested a complete change to this design. I removed the boarder and the stripes on the back, so I pretty much started with a blank card. I had a photo on each side. The designer did an AMAZING job. I suggested some things, and she had even better ideas. I'm very happy with the design. One thing that I wish I could have seen before ordering is the texture of the 2 options for paper type. I understand this can be difficult to appreciate from a computer screen. But, they could post a link to a YouTube video showing the difference between the paper. The one I chose (I forget the name, but it was the NON-pearlized one) ended up having a 'bumpy' surface. I wish it was completely smooth, since it makes my photo look strange in some places. But, I didn't go with the pearlized paper b/c I didn't want it to be too shiny/sparkly. Seeing it on video would have helped me make a better decision possibly."

Buddhism's Influence Shines Through at China's Temples
Caroline Yarber November 25, 2014
While in China, I have visited many Buddhist temples, including the White Horse Temple (the first Buddhist temple in China), the Shaolin Temple (foundation of Zen Buddhism), and the Lama Temple in Beijing. During these inspirational events, I see the temple packed with tourists, pilgrims, and monks alike. People crowd temple entrances, lighting incense and donating money at every donation box. Each time I visit a temple it amazes me how much Chinese people embrace Buddhism.
Edinburgh: The Haunted City
Julianne Reilly November 25, 2014
Do you ever get the feeling that someone is watching you? It seems like you can never escape this feeling in Edinburgh, and it is not just because statues of the likes of Adam Smith and David Hume peer down at you from their perches atop marble pedestals as you walk down the Royal Mile. The city of Edinburgh is widely considered to be the most haunted in Europe. With a history spanning back thousands of years, the area that is now known as Edinburgh has a rich history filled with legends of witches, ghosts, and other paranormal phenomena.
Marriage as a Vocation: A Conversation with Mary Ellen Konieczny
Mary Ellen Konieczny November 24, 2014
University of Notre Dame Professor Mary Ellen Konieczny says the biggest challenge faced by the Catholic Church is that many Catholics feel that the Church does not understand the difficulties of marriage in today's world. She argues that it makes sense to expand our vision of Christian marriage to explicitly include a mission that is both about raising a family and as a calling to witness and service to the broader Church.
Experiencing Dharavi
Jenny Chen November 24, 2014
In the days leading up to our visit to Mumbai and more specifically, Dharavi, one of the largest slums in all of Asia, I was not entirely sure what to expect. Like many people who strive to become more globally aware yet are limited in their knowledge of and/or access to certain cultures, peoples, and nations, I first heard about Dharavi from the 2008 internationally recognized and acclaimed film Slumdog Millionaire. Although Dharavi was largely depicted in a single scene, the movie helped mold my initial impressions and understandings of what Dharavi was and what role it played in Mumbai as well as in India as a whole.
Gender Stereotypes in Argentina
Natalie Lung November 21, 2014
Before arriving to Argentina, I was warned that I was going to face a culture of machismo, one where traditional gender stereotypes are perpetuated and women are deemed inferior. However, I have found that the reality does not match my preconceived notions after several months of living here.
You Shall Not Curse a Deaf Man
Timothy Loh November 20, 2014
I have never conducted research on religion before. Even though religion is a very important part of my life, I had always seen it as something personal and almost too sacred to explore from an academic point of view. That has changed since coming to Georgetown, where students are allowed and often encouraged to engage with both faith and academics: there is a two-course theology requirement for all students, a myriad of faith-based organizations and traditions on campus, and two on-campus centers that research intersections of faith and scholarship, namely, the Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding and the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs.
Modern Jewish Marriage: Ever-evolving, Ever-enduring

Business and Religious Freedom
November 19, 2014
A host of recent controversies—including the resignation of Brendan Eich as Mozilla CEO, Abercrombie and Fitch's firing of a Muslim woman for wearing a hijab, and many others—raise basic questions about the nature and extent of employees' religious rights while on the job. Responses to this topic will answer the following questions: How would you describe religious rights on the job? Should businesses be able to fire employees for their peaceful religious views and practices or is this a violation of First Amendment rights, or those rights established under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act?
Mobilizing for Toilets
Katherine Marshall November 19, 2014
November 19 is World Toilet Day: a day established last year by no less than the United Nations General Assembly. It is marked because there are few topics that are as tightly linked to human welfare and human dignity as sanitation. Poor sanitation spreads disease. Women creep out at night out of modesty and risk assault and death. The filth of flying toilets (people deposit waste in plastic bags and let fly) is a reminder of a grim face of poverty.

6/26/2014 - Orlando International Joins World Cup Soccer Fever
For the World Cup soccer fans that are traveling during the big games, Orlando International Airport set up a special viewing room in the main terminal building. The room centrally located in the middle of the airport, across from the bank and next to the postal services has been well received by hundreds of passengers and employees on breaks. For the average 95 thousand travelers
who use Orlando International daily, many are avid soccer fans and this is just a small indication of the Orlando community's growing attraction to the world's football game.
The viewing area was quickly set up temporarily repurposing furniture, monitors and space during the duration of the games.
For more information and to receive broadcast video of fans utilizing the viewing room

BMW M5 Recalls
BMW is voluntarily recalling 134,100 cars due to a faulty ground terminal in the taillight bulb carriers, causing the sudden failure of brake lights, turn signals and reverse lights. The recall covers 2008 through 2010 5 Series models produced between March 1, 2007 and December 31, 2009, and includes everything from the 528i to the mighty, V10-powered M5. ...

"Another winner"
I don't rate 5 stars lightly - If you liked any of the other Ender audiobooks produced by Stefan Rudnicki, then this is a must listen. It features a full cast (the usual) of narrators, and thankfully, they don't overdo the accents for this one (see Xenocide). There is also a nice afterward from O.S.C. Enjoy!
"amazon kills audible.com"
yes, it's fun if you like it
This system used to work... now everything from delivery to tracking purchases is in ruins.
This amazon takeover seems like a total fail!
"Best one yet"
The story line in Woodman's latest effort develops and culminates better than any of the previous books.
Very entertaining and good fun.
Jeff Woodman, again, is absolutely brilliant in his portraying of the characters!
I can enjoy listening pretty much anything if the narrator does it right, and Woodman makes all the right choices - so good I forget he's reading. It's like watching a brilliant actor, forgetting they are reciting a script, and really believing in the character.
If you like a listen for the good narration, this series is a must.

The age of disbelief
July 15, 2013 § 19 Comments
It doesn't matter whether you think any individual rider in the Turdy Farce is doping. Nor does it matter whether the riders are doping. Nothing will ever resuscitate this so-called sporting event.
A friend invited me to a Turdy-watching party today. Ostensibly we gathered to see who would prevail on Mt. Ventoux. Ostensibly we gathered to watch a bike race. Ostensibly we gathered to enjoy a performance of extraordinary physical strength and endurance under incomprehensible stress and strain.
All I can say is this: Thank Dog my friend is a wizard on the grill, his fiancee is a magician in the kitchen, the beer tub was well stocked, and the company was comprised of friends and riding mates, because the bike race never materialized.
How the Turdy was watched
What amazed me was the cynicism. I thought that it was only me who considered the whole thing an elaborate staging of athletic porn, but it wasn't. The moment the Froomster began his wild 120 rpm acceleration the catcalls started. Nothing about his ride was exempt from criticism. His dorky pedaling style, reminiscent of a novice who's still learning how to ride smoothly, his Cat 5 tendency to keep dropping his head, his constant reference to the radio commands in his earpiece, and his obliteration of the field were all equally derided.
The Tour was simply a backdrop for a get-together of friends who happen to cycle. Nothing about the race was respected, admired, or given any credibility at all. The bankrupt team of Phil and Paul, the sad sack attempts of Bob Roll to fire us up, and the racing itself were dismissed by virtually everyone there.
Good luck with that
How does an event that cannot capture the belief of the sport's most ardent practitioners hope to survive? The answer, of course, is France. Despite the conviction that the best rider is a drug cheat, most of our crowd said they'd choose to go visit France and watch the Tour over any other bike race.
It makes sense. The riders can do whatever they want because it won't diminish the fun of riding the cols, celebrating on the roadsides, and touring in France. In the same way, the Froomster's fraud had zero effect on our ability to enjoy the food, drink, and camaraderie, and zero effect on the rides we'd done this weekend or the rides we'll do the next.
This is the post-Armstrong age of sports spectating. We understand it's all fake but gladly seize the chance to enjoy ourselves anyway. The giants of the road have been reduced to dwarves of the microphone and the lab.
You may find it all a bit sad and disappointing, but while you're reflecting pass the sausage and open another beer for me, please.
Vroom, vroom, Froome!
July 12, 2013 § 44 Comments
Newsflash! Chris Froome is on drugs!
Newsflash! Yawn!
Newsflash! So am I! (Beer's a drug, right?)
Several different methodologies have pointed out the obvious: When the Froomster's time on Ax3 beats Lance and others in their doping heyday … it's pretty plain he's doping! This story in Outside confirms what everyone knows and no one cares about. The Tour de France is athletic bike porn.
It's not real. The performances are not real. Everything is staged. It is as comparable to the sex you have with your wife as the stuff they show on http://www.superpornstaraction.com.
The problem with the Outside.com analysis is that it involves numbers. I hate numbers. I still don't know who got to the town faster, the man driving x miles per hour at y velocity, or the train that left the station at time z going speed f divided by the number of apples in a bushel.
What I do know is that the dude who took the most drugs clandestinely is winning the Tour. How do I know? I know because of Wiggins.
The Wiggo factor
Was I the only one who noticed that the defending Tour champ abdicated shortly after winning? And that's like, the only time that's ever happened? And, it's, like, incomprehensible? And what's more bizarre, he didn't even retire, he just said that next year it would be the Froomster?
What the fucking fuck?
Then I thought about it, and now I can explain it, especially since Wiggo has vanished from the scene. Here's what happened.
Wiggins was put on Brailsford's plan of "marginal gains." This means microdosing and evading detection by training in Mallorca, where the testers can't surprise you. Wiggins, who is an alcoholic nutcase, was driven to the brink of insanity because he had to go from a track rider/stage race flailer to Tour contender. The insanity was caused by his fear of getting busted; Wiggins has shown in his autobiography and elsewhere that he is a very fragile mental case.
Froome, who was an absolute nobody before Brailsford got him on the drug program, could have won the Tour in 2012. This would have been uncool, because Wiggins was winning sprint finishes, destroying all preparatory stage races, and on track to win the Tour in Britain's Olympic year.
Brailsford therefore cut a deal with Froome. Wiggins would win in 2012 and the Froomster would win in 2013. The parties essentially agreed to this in public when Wiggins said that he wouldn't defend his Tour title but would focus on the Giro. This is like someone saying they weren't going to defend their NCAA baskeball title but would instead focus on the NIT.
Man of his word
Wiggins went from being unbeatable in 2012 to Mr. Nobody in 2013. He flailed and bailed in the Giro, and distinguished himself in the build-up races by being completely indistinct. He faded from the scene, and, trust me, you will never hear from him again. He is a fragile crazypants who cannot cope with the cheating and lying required by the Brailsford doping program. His pro career is over, and we should thank him for contributing "bone idle wankers" to our lexicon.
Froome, on the other hand, has all the qualities of a top-tier level doper. He boldly proclaims his cleanness. He destroys his rivals by massive margins. He throws out wattage — 6.3 w/kg and more — that are impossible in an undoped state. Best of all, he is backed by the drug enabling quotes of Brailsford, who tosses off bizzaricisms like "At some point in time, clean performances will surpass the doped performances in the past."
That's like saying, "At some point, Formula 1 cars with no aerodynamic fairings and design will go as fast as those that are wholly aerodynamic."
It makes no fucking sense at all, based as it is on neither data nor science, but merely on the assertions of someone trying to defend an obviously doped stable of athletes.
Thankfully, VeloNews and other lickspittle cycling magazines have accepted this at face value because their advertising depends on the deluded and jaded readers who either don't know or don't care that everything produced by Team Sky flies in the face of reality and fairness. The pedestrian, non-superhuman times turned in by those who are racing against the Froomster show that although the peloton is cleaner, top honors still go to the cheater who goes biggest and who dares anyone to bust him.
At least with Lance, the winner had a cool name, attractive wristbands, and a series of good looking women permanently attached to his arm.
Lance 3.0: Lay down your cudgels, please
May 26, 2013 § 57 Comments
Newsflash: Lance Armstrong has been stripped of…pretty much everything.
Tour titles? Gone.
Reputation? Gone.
Income stream from his cancer foundation? Gone.
Ability to compete in sanctioned athletic events and the attendant income? Gone.
Mansion in Austin? Gone.
Self-respect after not getting hugged by Oprah? Totally gone.
Bonus newsflash: It's not over yet. The Justice Department has joined Floyd's whistleblower suit…former sponsors are suing to get their money back…he will be paying for his transgressions for a long, long time.
I don't know about you…
But I believe in redemption. Not the Shawshank kind — I believe in the kind of redemption that says once you've been punished for your transgressions according to rule and/or law, you're redeemed.
This type of redemption may not mean that you're a sterling moral character, or even that you admit guilt or feel sorry for what you've done. It just means that you broke the rule, got punished, and are now free to move on just like new. Something worthless has been exchanged for something useful and new. Just like a coupon.
When you murder someone, rape someone, abuse a child, defraud the elderly, skim from the company till, or run a red light, your redemption begins when you've served your time or paid your fine. Redemption means trading in the old for the new. It means a fresh start.
And in case you were wondering, along with the punishment fitting the crime, redemption is the premise upon which our entire legal system is built.
Redemption gives convicted felons the right to vote, the right to work, the right to have a passport, and the right to fully participate as citizens once they've served their time. Redemption doesn't mean you have to like the sinner or the ex-con. It just means you can't legally continue punishing and persecuting him.
Lance is no convicted felon. If you don't think he's been punished, see above. If you're still harboring resentment and anger, that's understandable. But he's not going anywhere, and I'd suggest that there's a better way to deal with him than continually bludgeoning him for his transgressions.
It's an old concept, actually. It's called forgiveness.
Cranking up the PR machine
Lance has recently begun doing what he does best: Going on the offensive. Whether it's calling Patrick Brady and chatting with him for an hour or unblocking Lesli Cohen and a bunch of other diehard Lance opponents, it's clear that he has a plan in place and has begun to execute it.
What's the plan?
The plan is to get back in front of the sports media and build Lance 3.0. This newest iteration is simple. Lance 3.0 is a…
- Survivor.
- Family man.
- World class athlete.
- Friend.
What will Lance 3.0 do? He will sell something. What will he sell? I don't know. But I do know this: He won't be setting up a pyramid scheme to defraud Medicare, or a criminal syndicate to assassinate journalists. Most likely, he's got a plan that will let him earn a living as a speaker/athlete/patient advocate.
Is that so bad? How many other people get out of prison and see their mission in life as one dedicated to helping others? Mind you, I don't know that that's his plan, but what does he have left? And why is it contemptible for him to try and rebuild a career that's been destroyed through his own mistakes?
Ultimately, though, does it really matter what his end game is? No.
What matters is you
A group of local riders were climbing Latigo Canyon Road yesterday, and guess who they met at the top? Barry Bonds.
Remember him?
He's the guy who was held up as one of the most evil and crooked baseball players of all time, a guy who stole Hank Aaron's record on the strength of drugs and lies. Today he's a slim and fit bicycle rider.
When the gang ran into him on Latigo, no one cringed, or cursed him, or called him a scumbag doper. Instead, they mugged for the camera and posted photos on Facebook.
First, of course, is star power…and we are here in LA. Second, though, is the fact that Barry has paid for what he did, and he didn't even go on Oprah and confess. We know that he was caught, that he's been punished, and that now he's just a dude on a bike who used to hit a lot of home runs. Our lives are too short to keep hating on a guy who's been punished to the full extent that the system demanded, particularly since all he seems to do now is pedal around, show up at the occasional crit, and generally act like a normal dude.
We're done with his crime, and so is he. Now we just want to say hello and ride our bikes.
What about Lance?
Lance is different from Barry because the latter earned hundreds of millions of dollars and wisely invested them over the course of a long career. Barry doesn't have to work.
Lance has five kids, huge ongoing legal bills, and a lot of years left to live. It's impossible that he's got anywhere near the pile that Barry is sitting on, or even anything close to it. Unlike Barry, Lance has gotta work. Rather than pulling up the drawbridge and living inside the fort, Lance has got to get out and mingle in order to rebuild.
For people getting out of prison and living in halfway houses, it's called "You have to get a job."
Lance showed us that pro cycling is a corrupt freak show. Danilo di Luca confirmed yesterday that it still is. Nibali, Wiggins, Dave Brailsford, Chris Froome, Pat McQuaid, Hein Verbruggen, and USA Cycling reaffirm that anyone who thinks the sport is clean isn't thinking very hard.
If you hate Lance because he "ruined the sport," maybe it's time YOU moved on. The pro sport is rotten. If you follow it and still bury your head in the jocks of its stars, there's a problem all right, and the problem is with you. If you can watch Nibali repeatedly hit the gas in the snow at the end of the most grueling stage of the most grueling stage race while his competition is rolling over and dying on the slopes, you're the one who needs to analyze my modification of this old saw: "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me over and over and over, and I'm a fucking moron who enjoys being fooled."
As Billy Stone might put it, "And the dopers ruined your life as a Cat 4 masters athlete exactly how?"
Where's it all going?
Now that Lance 1.0 and 2.0 have been airbrushed out of the history books, what's wrong with giving 3.0 the same degree of redemption that should be afforded to axe murderers, tax cheats, misdemeanor DUI's, and kids on grade probation in college? How is our agenda advanced by refusing to lay down arms, and instead insisting that he still be treated like the unrepentant, unpunished cheat that he was a year ago, when he's repented and been punished?
Does it ennoble us to keep shrieking "Off with his head!" after his head has been offed, stuck on a pike, and paraded around his kids' schoolyards? I think it does the opposite. It shows us up to be petty, vengeful dorks who actually think that pro cycling is so important it transcends common notions of justice and fair play.
Five years hence, ten years hence, Lance 3.0 will have been fully rebuilt. He's that smart and a whole lot smarter, he's that hard working, and he's that motivated. He's also got close to four million people on Twitter who want to know what he says and thinks, as well as five kids to feed, clothe, and put through college.
Most importantly, he's not going anywhere. Do you want to be the wild-eyed crazy standing in the corner screaming, "But he doped! He cheated! He lied! He ruined my Cat 4 masters racing career!" long after he's been punished and the rest of the world has moved on?
I don't.
If the UCI and USA Cycling and WADA are done with his case, then I am, too. Keep clubbing at him if you want, but don't expect me to join in. I'd rather go club some of the baby seals on next Tuesday's NPR.

text: Petty Tyranny at the NY Times' Editorial Page by John Sexton 4 Feb 2014 post a comment Share This: Reporters at the NY Times believe their editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal is a petty tyrant who produces boring, doctrinaire output that rarely has an impact on the national debate. Even as the New York Times has laid off reporters to cut expenses, the editorial page staff has expanded. That has led to some bad blood at the paper. According to an investigation into the situation by the New York Observer, most of the bad feelings are directed at Rosenthal who controls the paper's editorial page. "He runs the show and is lazy as all get-out," on unnamed staffer tells the Observer. Another criticized the content of the editorial page saying "They're completely reflexively liberal, utterly predictable, usually poorly written and totally ineffectual." None of the Times' staffers quoted in the piece spoke on the record out of fear of possible recriminations. Several staffers confirmed that Rosenthal has a particular penchant for the word "should." One source claims, "Rosenthal himself is like a petty tyrant, like anytime anyone on the news pages uses the word 'should' in their copy, you know, he sends nasty emails around kind of CCing the world." Another focus of Times' staffers ire is columnist Thomas Friedman. A former Times' writer tells the Observer, "He hasn't had an original thought in 20 years; he's an embarrassment." The same former staffer adds "He's perceived as an idiot who has been wrong about every major issue for 20 years." One anonymous critic lambastes the Times for lack of diversity. The individual, who declined to even be quoted because she still works at the Times, indicated that of 32 people who are columnists or part of the editorial board, 26 are white and 23 are male.

Even if you never had a problem with constipation during pregnancy, you may now. Give yourself a few days after delivery before you start worrying about it, though.
If you had a long labor without food, bowel movements during labor, or an enema, you may go a day or two without defecating because there simply isn't anything in your intestines. And if you had a c-section, it can take three or four days for your bowels to start functioning normally again.
If you continue to have problems moving your bowels after that, here's what may be going on:
Your constipation is more likely to go away within a few days if you take steps to address the problem.
Here are some tips for preventing and easing constipation:
Not usually, but occasionally it can be a symptom of another problem. If you have severe constipation that is accompanied by abdominal pain, alternates with diarrhea, or you pass mucus or blood, call your doctor or midwife immediately.
Also, straining during a bowel movement or passing a hard stool can lead to or worsen hemorrhoids, which are swollen veins in the rectal area. Hemorrhoids can be extremely uncomfortable, though they rarely cause serious problems. In most cases, they go away fairly soon after the baby is born. However, if the pain is severe or you have rectal bleeding, call your caregiver so you can be evaluated.

New Orleans-based singer/producer Allen Toussaint is a walking monument to the Big Easy's musical history. He's worked as a session player with most of New Orleans' major heavyweights (the Meters, LaBelle, the Neville Brothers, and Dr. John) and got his start playing backup to Fats Domino in the 1960s. He's the unofficial ambassador of New Orleans jazz and was a media darling during the first days of Hurricane Katrina. But none of that explains what audiences will see when Toussaint comes to town this week for Hollywood's Mardi Gras fiesta. His ragtime piano playing style and Cajun roots music are captivating in person. This is the man who wrote "Lady Marmalade," which disco addicts are still humming even now. He's known for engaging audiences and has a string of hits you think you've never heard until the invisible eight-track in the back of your brain remembers "Right Place, Wrong Time" and half of the Neville Brothers' and Boz Scaggs' catalogs.
Allen Toussaint performs Tuesday, February 20, at Fiesta Tropicale, 510 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood. Show starts at 8 pm. Admission is free. Call 954-924-3377, or visit www.mardigrasfiesta.com.

Brighton assistant manager Mauricio Taricco is hoping to see more of injured playmaker Vicente, even if it is just on the training pitch.

The Spaniard has managed just two appearances for the Seagulls this season after suffering a thigh tendon injury in August.
Taricco says he has had little contact with the 31-year-old while the Albion medical staff try to manage his injury but there are suggestions he could be back in action after the international break.
He told the Argus: "It must be a really difficult time for him, frustrating that he cannot be playing. The important thing is that he keeps looking forward and trying to get back and we are going to be there for him.
"He's quiet. It's difficult. He's not with us a lot of the time as well. We haven't got the greatest facilities in the world. All the injured players are on the other side of the training ground.
"You see him maybe when you are having lunch, not as often as in other places where the medical room is close to where everybody is. It's difficult to have a lot of contact with injured players so you don't really know a lot about it.
"Obviously, you know through the doctor and the physios, but you don't have that daily contact with the players that are fit, so it's difficult to say."

The GQ Guide to Shoes
Take the right steps with our essential guide: how to pick the pairs you need, and keep them looking shiny and new
Before we start talking about styles of shoes, let's talk shape. If you're still walking around in square-toe, rubber-soled lace-ups—the kind you buy on the cheap and that make you look like you've got platypus feet—grab them from your closet and toss them.
Seriously. your shoes should be as streamlined as the rest of your wardrobe. That means a slim contour (but not painfully skinny) and a rounded (but not sharp) toe. They'll look stylish, tasteful, and masculine. And that's all you can ask for.

I've had nothing but bad luck with the snd-virmidi module and the
Demudi 2.6 kernels. Alas, no-one seems to be able to say what the
problem might be, so I thought I'd ask here: Does anyone have
snd-virmidi actually working on any Demudi 2.6 kernel ? On my system
(1.3.0rc1) it will load correctly, it shows up in QJackCtl's MIDI
connections panel, but it simply doesn't work. No MIDI is passing
through any virmidi port. MIDI does work perfectly via the MIDI Through
and via the hardware port, so I know it's not a general system error.
Btw, if you have loaded it please be sure to actually test it.
And just to clarify: MIDI Through will *not* do the job I need done. I
need the virmidi ports.
This is the second Demudi kernel that has had serious problems with
this module. I would like to hear from anyone who has it working under
Demudi. I'd really like to hear from anyone who has a clue as to why
it's so fubar'd here.

For fans of George Takei's hilarious, thought-provoking Facebook page may be disheartened to learn that it's actually ghostwritten. Is nothing sacred?!
Journalist Rick Polito recently revealed that he'd been jokes for Takei's feed at $10 each. It was just a quick aside, but it stunned Takei's fans nonetheless.
Wired got in touch with Takei, who was taken aback at the uproar.
"What is this hoo-ha about my FB posts?" Takei said in response.
