Khandu Rangnekar, June 27, 1917, was widely considered the best Indian left-handed batsman of his times. Abhishek Mukherjee looks back at a domestic champion and an ambidextrous fielder.
The story has been repeated many a time in the Indian domestic circuit. A woman had given birth to five children, none of them survived. The sixth one went on to live for four years before he was diagnosed with gastroenteritis; it was the early 1920s, and no medicine seemed to help.
The woman set out for Jejuri, situated 58 kms from Pune, and climbed up the 700-feet high temple to pray to Lord Khandoba with her son, who became unconscious during the ascent. But the woman's prayers were answered and the son regained consciousness within 10 minutes and sprinted down the 950 rock steps! That child grew up and went on to excel in both cricket and badminton and came to be know in the sporting world as Khanderao Moreshwar Rangnekar. The above story is no urban legend as it was narrated to Makarand Waingankar, the veteran cricket journalist, by Mrs Vimal tai Rangnekar — wife of Khandu Rangnekar.
Rangnekar was a sparkling left-handed batsman, a handy medium-pacer and an athletic cover-point fielder. He was also a brilliant badminton player. In fact, Madhav Mantri says that Rangnekar "brought his attacking badminton skill on the cricketing field".
Though he batted left-handed he bowled and played badminton with his right-hand, and was an ambidextrous fielder who used both hands to throw with equal proficiency — an attribute that would have made John Buchanan happy in the 21st century.
In all First-Class cricket, Rangnekar scored 4,602 runs from 85 matches at 41.83 with 15 hundreds. In Ranji Trophy alone — which he played till he was 42 — he scored 2,548 runs from 42 matches at 49.00 with eight hundreds. These were very impressive numbers given his era.
Early days
Rangnekar made his debut in the Bombay Pentangular of 1939-40, but he did not get a chance to bat in the first three matches for the strong Hindus. He made his Ranji Trophy debut the same season for Maharashtra against Western India at Poona. Batting at seven he added 150 with DB Deodhar, and smashed a 98-minute 102. Opening bowling in the fourth innings he picked up two for 28.
During this period his badminton also thrived: he won both the Western India men's doubles and mixed doubles in 1940, and went on to win the men's doubles in 1942 and 1944 as well. He eventually reached the national final of both men's singles and men's doubles; though he could not win the singles, he clinched the doubles title.
India kept the torch of First-Class cricket alive in the early 1940s when the major Test-playing nations of the world were busy waging wars. After that single Ranji Trophy match Rangnekar shifted to Bombay next season, and scored 202 against his old team at Bombay in a valiant effort: Bombay scored 650 chasing Maharashtra's 675.
His stunning form continued: the 202 was followed by a 117 playing for an Indian XI against Ceylon at Bombay and a 135 for Rest of India against Maharashtra, also against Bombay – making it three hundreds in three innings. However, the structure of domestic cricket in India meant that those three were his only innings in that season.
His catch of Gul Mohammad in the 1944-45 Pentagular against Muslims at cover-point was a stunner. Seldom had an Indian fielder gained recognition through a catch in the era, and display of emotion was an unfamiliar aspect in the 1940s. However, the bowler CS Nayudu "was so thrilled that he hugged [Khandu] Rangnekar for five minutes." The catch became the talk of the town, and the ball is still on display in the Rangnekar household in Aurangabad, a photograph of which is shared below for CricketCountry readers.
He struck gold again in the 1945-46 and 1946-47 seasons: over the two seasons he played 15 matches he scored 1,229 runs at 61.45 with five hundreds. He was not selected for the 1946 tour of England, but he proved his mettle for the Rest of India against India to England Touring Team at Bombay.
Against a side packed with Test players Rangnekar strode out at 13 for two and scored 106 when nobody else scored 50. The innings proved crucial as Rest of India eventually pulled off an upset win by 13 runs. It was mainly because of this innings that he was selected for the Australia tour of 1947-48.
Test cricket
Australia turned out to be a disaster for Rangnekar. The batsman who had been in sublime form till now suddenly looked all at sea on the bouncy tracks against some of the best fast bowlers in the world. He struggled throughout, scoring 173 runs in nine matches at 10.81 without a fifty.
Despite his poor form he was selected for the first Test at Gabba. He scored one and zero, falling both times to Ernie Toshack, who picked up five for two and six for 29 in the Test to dismiss India for 58 and 98. After missing the second Test at SCG he was recalled for the third at MCG – where he batted at nine, scoring six; following on, he batted at nine again, scoring a 14-ball 18 with three fours – his highest Test score.
Rangnekar was given a chance in the fourth Test at Adelaide as well — a Test immortalised by Vijay Hazare's twin tons, but he was demoted to No 10, a position at which he scored eight and a duck. Australia went on to win the series 3-0, and Rangnekar's Test career came to an end after three Tests, scoring 33 runs at 5.50.
Back home
He found himself back in his comfort zone once he was home. He played for Cricket Club of India against the touring West Indians of 1948-49, but despite his 31 and a career-best five for 112 (he clean bowled Clyde Walcott in the innings) he was not picked for the Tests.
He switched loyalty to Holkar in the 1950-51 season and walked out to bat at 330 for six against Hyderabad at Indore. He added 112 with CS Nayudu and 219 with Jamshed Bhaya, and lifted his side to 757 with a career-best score of 217.
He played sparingly as the years went by; he played his last Ranji Trophy match against Vidarbha at Indore in 1958-59: he scored 113 in the first innings, and was out there unbeaten in the second as Madhya Pradesh won by seven wickets. In the process he joined the rare band of cricketers with hundreds in their first and last Ranji Trophy matches.
Rangnekar continued to play First-Class cricket till 1963-64 — playing mostly in Relief Fund matches. After retirement he assumed various positions of responsibilities, including the Thane Municipality President in the 1960s; the Vice-President of BCCI from 1962-63 to 1969-70; and the President of Bombay Cricket Association in 1962-63. He also worked for Indian Customs in Bombay and ran a textile store business.
One of the four teams of the Sportstar Trophy for Mumbai Under-19 cricketers has been named after Rangnekar (the other three have been named after Vijay Merchant, Vijay Manjrekar, and Dattu Phadkar). A badminton hall in Thane (West) has been named after him as well.
Khandu Rangnekar passed away of throat cancer on October 11, 1984.

Sometimes I am in awe of artisans who can see the potential in some pretty ordinary things and are able to create something from what would be thrown away. Maison Martin Magiela whose website is still under construction has a "lush" jewelry line or a drinking theme. The use of the bottle stops of wine and beer cans is inspired!
I had to look twice before I realised the necklace was made up of several beer can tabs. But my favourite is the pendant made from the wine bottle sealer with some wire wrapping thrown in. This design really doesn't look like it was an eco project, does it? Thanks to Crave for the "heads up" on this designer!

Dear Abbot Primate,
1. I am glad to receive you on the occasion of the International Congress of your Confederation and extend a warm welcome to each one of you. I greet the Abbot Primate and thank him for expressing your common sentiments. I greet all the participants in this meeting, which has just ended, on the theme: The participation of lay people in our charism.
This gives you an important opportunity to reflect on the ancient form of religious life that is rooted in the traditional formula: "Contemplare, et contemplata aliis tradere" ("Contemplate, and hand on to others the fruit of contemplation"). The venerable Augustinian tradition combines a contemplative spirit with apostolic activity and this approach to life still marks your communities, present on every continent. Thus you continue to pass on a spirituality that speaks to the minds and hearts of our contemporaries who are searching for effective spiritual models for inspiration. As I joyfully congratulate you on your vitality, I urge you to persevere in the commitment to offer everyone you meet in your apostolate the ongoing proclamation of the Gospel, expressed in the daily witness of fidelity to your charism.
You offer to the clergy in a concrete way, the practice of community life for the Kingdom
The community life of the Canons Regular is distinguished by fraternal communion, the apostolate and an intense liturgical life. These three elements have retained their validity today even if they need to be wisely adapted to the demands of rapidly changing times. In this regard, the Rule itself is of great help to you; though it is linked to the spirituality of the early communities of Canons, it is always valid because it presents the charism of community life which flow from the undying Gospel principles such as charity, unity and freedom.
From this stems the special emphasis that St Augustine placed on the value of contemplation and its close bond with community life. Contemplation, which flows from a radical orientation to Christ, consists in keeping one's gaze fixed on him, in order to be permeated and transformed by his Spirit.
That calls for a constant effort to acquire a deeper understanding of the Gospel and to put it into practice, living genuine, sincere and generous fraternal charity in the community, that results from, and leads to, progress in the interior contemplative journey. Fraternal charity that develops from intimate contact with the Lord thus becomes a gift and grace, to be shared with the brethren.
This is the contribution that the Church expects of you. I am sure that in living your charism to the full, you can help her to achieve the missionary goals toward which she is projected, impressing on your life the drive for the new evangelization.
Dear Brothers! As we take our first steps in the new millennium with the awareness of all the social and religious challenges that lie ahead, you witness courageously to your fidelity to the mission that the Lord entrusts to you, following the example of St Augustine, a brave and zealous Pastor. Like him, entrust yourselves to the action of the Spirit and do not fear to open yourselves with the optimism of the Gospel to human needs, "always ... prepared to make a defence to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you" (I Pt 3,15).
May the Blessed Virgin Mary, whom you venerate with special filial enthusiasm, accompany you and make your daily ministry fruitful. May the Blessing that I cordially impart to you, to your confreres and to all who have recourse to your Augustinian spirituality, be of great help to you!

NEW YORK (AP) - Target says Chairman and CEO Gregg Steinhafel is out, nearly five months after the retailer disclosed a massive data breach that hurt its reputation.
The nation's third-largest retailer says Steinhafel has agreed to step down as the company's chairman, president and CEO, effective immediately. He also has resigned from its board of directors.
Target, based in Minneapolis, says Chief Financial Officer John Mulligan has been appointed interim president and CEO. Roxanne S. Austin, a member of Target's board, has been named as interim nonexecutive chair of the board.
Steinhafel, a 35-year veteran of Target, will serve in an advisory capacity during the transition.
Target said in December that hackers stole credit and debit card information on tens of millions of customers.

Hidden Inflation Slows Growth, Holds Down Wages
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- On Thursday, Aug. 29, fast-food chain workers conducted strikes in nearly 60 cities asking that chains like McDonalds (MCD), Burger King (BKW), Wendy's (WEN) and Yum Brands (YUM) (which holds KFC and Taco Bell) boost their minimum hourly pay to $15/hour.
Meanwhile, the saga between Wal-Mart (WMT) and the D.C. City Council continues with Mayor Gray having 10 days from Aug. 30 to sign or veto legislation which requires Walmart to pay a minimum wage of $12.50/hour while other employers are only required to pay the D.C. minimum wage of $8.25/hour.
The Income Gap
In 1980, wage earnings as a percent of Gross Domestic Income (GDI, the sister concept to GDP) were 49%. In the last GDI report, they were closer to 42%. Meanwhile, corporate profits are up 50% from about 8% of GDI in 1980 to about 12% today. There is no doubt that the income gap between the rich and the middle class is growing.
The Slide in GDP Growth
The accompanying table shows the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of real GDP (as "officially" measured) from the bottom of each of the last four recessions to the following peak.It is notable that the CAGR of real GDP in today's recovery (2.23%) is about half the pace of the recovery from the recession of the early '80s. Note that in each subsequent cycle since 1982, GDP's CAGR has slid more than 50 basis points.
The 'Official' CPIIn the mid-90s, it was determined that demographics would become an issue regarding the cost of social programs like Social Security and Medicare. So, the CPI formulation was changed so as to slow down the "official" rate of inflation, which, in turn, slowed the cost of the social programs. But there was also an unintended consequence, one not recognized by any politician or the mainstream media today. Because the "official" CPI is widely accepted as "the" measure of inflation, and because "cost of living" raises for most of middle America are based on it, its manipulation over time has lowered the real incomes of wage earners (the middle class) with the resulting negative impact on the CAGR of real GDP, because if the prices of goods and services are actually rising faster than incomes, then aggregate demand is negatively impacted.

Lockheed Martin Submits Space Fence Radar Proposal To U.S. Air Force To Detect And Track Orbital Objects
MOORESTOWN, N.J., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has submitted its final contract proposal to build Space Fence, an advanced ground-based radar system that will improve the way the U.S. Air Force identifies and tracks orbital objects.
Space Fence will provide much-needed enhanced space situational awareness capabilities for the Air Force and allow the service to decommission the aging U.S.-based Air Force Space Surveillance System, originally installed in 1961.
"The original surveillance system wasn't designed to detect and track the hundreds of thousands of smaller, orbiting objects that are in space today, potentially threatening the International Space Station, future manned space flight missions and our nation's critical satellite assets," said Steve Bruce, vice president for space surveillance systems at Lockheed Martin's Mission Systems & Sensors business. "With decades of experience developing powerful S-band radar systems, Lockheed Martin has proposed a scalable and affordable Space Fence solution for the Air Force that will transform space situational awareness."
The Air Force plans to begin construction at its first Space Fence site on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands in the fall of 2013 to meet the program's 2017 initial operational capability goal. The contract value is estimated at $1.9 billion over a seven-year period of performance.Using powerful, new ground-based S-band radar technology, Space Fence will enhance the way the U.S. detects, tracks, measures and catalogs orbiting objects and space debris with improved accuracy, better timeliness and increased surveillance coverage. Earlier this year, Lockheed Martin demonstrated its prototype Space Fence radar proving it could already detect resident space objects. With more than 400 operational S-band arrays deployed worldwide, Lockheed Martin is a leader in S-band radar development, production, operation and sustainment. The Lockheed Martin-led team – which includes General Dynamics, AMEC and AT&T – has decades of collective experience in space-related programs, including sensors, mission processing, cataloging, orbital mechanics, net-centric communications and facilities.

I've used this lens for over 20 years and hope they never phase them out. With daily cleaning they last a very long time and they have always been comfortable for me. I wear them 12+ hours per day and they are never uncomfortable.

Okay, I'm trying to follow this diet as best as possible. It all works up until night time, because I'm usually out with friends. The problem is I have trouble getting the last meals in... and sometimes (like tonite) I'm too tired to make a carb refeed meal, so I had one peice of pizza along with a whole wheat natural PB sandwich before bed.
My question is what is the best way to recover from these cheat meals? I'm trying to make a goal that from now on I'll only go out for an hour or two, take my own car so I can drive back home. I really want to shed the fat as fast as possible (not too fast where I lose muscle), because I'm anxious to begin another bulk!

it's a porn scene- I don't think he has a son.....it's a dumb and offensive premiss for a scene- and they shouldn't have gone there- but they did, so, yes- it is homophobic
it's a porn scene- I don't think he has a son.....it's a dumb and offensive premiss for a scene- and they shouldn't have gone there- but they did, so, yes- it is homophobic
Ugh. Even if that particular line of dialogue hadn't been included, this would have been a disgustingly offensive scene. "You destroy my family, I destroy your ass?" Seriously?
I doubt it. It's just an insanely stupid script/setup for a porn scene, and unfortunately Deen went along with it.
Check out the scene description from this site:
This day he really had enough of her bullshit and decided to give this wife stealing carpet muncher bitch something she hasn't had in a long time...a good dick bruising!
there's another thread on him asking if he's homophobic......forgot about this thread and the above comments
he's awesome and hot. and he seems like a cool guy to party with. he doesnt seem conceited like most straight porn stars.
what is the name of the video that he is getting rimmed?
Such a beautiful man I want to rim him instead of that girl he has just a delicate little body I want to get rough with
I love James! I subscribe to boundgangbangs.com. He's in a lot of their videos. I love it when a bunch of guys (like James) dominate a woman with their hard meat and fuck her holes good n hard.
What I want to know is why for the love of God aren't there any pictures of him WITHOUT a pussy attatched to his dick. I saw one once (at school and couldn't download it) and it disappeared of the net. Can't find it or anything like out there.
Funny conclusion to his scene here...
For those of you who would like to watch him fuck a girl while his face is covered in a white creamy substance:
xvideos.com/video618730/fatos_marie_mc_cray_yetiskin_sirin_cocuk_redhead_s eri_1#135.7
I love this guy lol
always a pleasure to watch
love how he fucks larger women than him
he was just featured on Nightline last night. so cute and so cocky. his attitude reminds me of me.
love his boy next door looks, blue eyes, his bod, his ass.
he is so hot!!!!
For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
^ Nah, it may very well be 4000 films. lol
"Interesting" Nightline segment...
that's all I can say on it.
4000 still seems like a crazy figure.
He's been at this since 2004 - it's now 2012 - that's 8 years, which is 2922 days.
That's an average of more than one film a day, every day of every year for eight years... Even if we took just single scenes, that's still a crazy statistic.
For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
^ LMAO...yeah, you're right.
maybe the reporter (and myself) are wrong.
4000 is probably right- once you film a porn scene- they chop it up and put it in 10 other compliation type videos- he could do 3 scenes in a movie and those 3 different scenes can be split up and put in 50 different compliations.....
lmfao!! Deen is the man!! Ever since i saw him bang AND own Ava Rose i have been a fan giggidy!!
IAFD has him listed at +1200 vids, though a few dozen are probably compilation videos.
Still, +1000 appearances in an 8 year career is pretty impressive.
Wow, 4000 films? How does his penis sleep at night?
^ I have a hunch while HE sleeps his cock stays UP??????? ........ .......
It could just be me, but doesn't this guy (Michael Vegas) look like he could be James Deen's twin?
^ I can see the resemblance.
Just looks like a paler version with somewhat softer features. but yeah...i had to look twice to notice that it was James! that's crazy!
jamees deen attracting teen girls
geez...I wish he'd venture into gay porn. Just a scene or two.
mmmm he will be fucked someday, i'm sure
If you're looking for muscled, tattooed and hairy bodies visit: www.Zzzemen.WordPress.com/ Blog with the best selection of men galleries.
I've seen him rimmed, but has he taken a butt plug or a finger, yet?????
i really wish i was a chick so i could "banged" (as he calls it) by James Deen. I am thinking about starting my own thread about this
He is one of my favourite straight pornstars, he's so hot, i love how rough he gets with girls.
Him and Manuel Ferrera
wow ohmygoshjosh, had never heard of Manuel before, but that thing will give James Deen a run for his money...hard to beat Jame's attitude though
James Deen on his penis mold...and his fan signing event in an LA sex shop.
Yeah he is hot but quite rough on the girls.
Sensual and erotic looks better.
He is no looker that is for sure...
he's one of the stars that came out VERY much against the condom law.....
Him Stripping his pants off in the middle of the streets...
Shouldn't this thread be in the "Straight" section? ... Well, as with so many male porn stars, the few JD vids I've looked at show the females all the time, since it's her that the cameraman is concentrating on. The same goes for the DVDs: James Deen's name is there alright but you don't see him on the box covers, as this shot shows ...
Still, thanks to the rimming screen-shots posted above, we can at least see his hole, even though he's having a giggling fit due to the silly girl tickling his sphincter ...
watched his interviews, seems down to earth nice guy:

Nurse posts brain surgery pics on Facebook - page 3
... Read More
- 0A discussion of this same topic is going on in the general nursing discussion forum (oops-I did do a search first, honestly! I mustn't have used the right search terms :imbar ) There are some other POVs being discussed there.
- 0Quote from JunebugRN28Exactly. And if she'll take pictures of herself holding random body parts of her patients to post online, what else might she do to a vulnerable, sleeping patient?Bottom line, it doesn't matter if you cannot ID the patient by the picture. This is a matter of respect! People who are under anesthesia are vunerable, and it is our job to protect their basic rights. Taking personal pictures during surgery and then placing them on facebook (both without pt permission!) is completely unprofessional and disrespectful.Last edit by RetiredTooSoon on Aug 19, '08 : Reason: thought wasn't clear
- 0Quote from JunebugRN28I believe the tattoo read 'Hot Rod' (there's another discussion on this topic happening in the general forum and they brought up the same case as you just did) and the physician was in deep trouble.have any of you heard of this? A surgical resident took a picture of a male's genital area I believe b/c of a tattoo? (happened in Arizona). He was fired for this as he sent it to others' cell phones and it was eventually leaked to the press.
- 5Aug 19, '08 by cjcsoon2brn, BSN, RNSeriously....
I mean seriously... This is ridiculous, that nurse is a moron and needs to be fired. I'm sorry but it needs to be said. I mean what is the point of HIPPA and consent if people are going to do things like that.
For the people who said "but you can't identify the patient based upon the photos", that is not the point at all, we have laws that protect patients from these kind of things.
For the people who said "its not a big deal", I am happy that you wouldn't mind having pictures of your surgery being splattered on Facebook for someone to show off to their friends.
I will say this however, if the nurse had asked for the patients consent (or had it in writing) to have the non-identifying photos used for educational purposes and shared with other colleagues via the internet or otherwise and the patient consented then I wouldn't care if they were posted on Facebook (even if its not in good taste.) The fact is that she didn't get consent from the patient and I believe that this whole thing is a violation of HIPPA (not to mention human decency by not at least asking the patient.) I don't mean to be harsh but I have little patience for this college fratboy/sorority girl type of behavior and this nurse has a lot of growing up to do.
- 6Aug 19, '08 by rph3664This isn't even a HIPAA thing. It's a matter of patient confidentiality and respect. It was that way before HIPAA.
- 0Aug 20, '08 by bagladyrn GuideQuote from rph3664I agree - HIPAA has nothing to do with this as it did not occur in the US - the incident occurred in Sweden. I think this does reflect a change (and to my mind a decline) in respect for the rights and dignity of others fostered by the technology of the internet and the ability to instantly broadcast all sorts of details to the world with no time for reflection on the propriety of such.This isn't even a HIPAA thing. It's a matter of patient confidentiality and respect. It was that way before HIPAA.
- 2Aug 20, '08 by Crystal2dishThere is a world of difference in being alert and aware and walking in a public place being "on camera" versus being unconscious and naked and vulnerable during brain surgery performed in a secure and private area by people who are virtual strangers snapping pictures of your body parts without your conscious knowledge or permission.
There are strong ethical issues, violation of trust issues, and a great opportunity to involve everyone in the operating room in a lawsuit who was awake and aware that nurse nuts for brains was snapping pictures on their cell phone and didn't say "don't".
If you disagree because you don't see what the issues are, then you must certainly be one of those talented people who can drive their car while talking via Bluetooth and texting on the cellphone and probably also flipping through your tunes to find your favorite. And that's okay. Until you drive your car into an accident. Then you evoke larger social scenarios. Strangers come to your aid. If you are dead, they try to show something called "respect" and protect your mashed body from the prying eyes and cameras of strangers to preserve your "dignity". If you live, then strangers will use their powers and possibly risk their own lives to preserve yours. If you have broken any laws, your "privacy" will be protected until you have been legally charged. Then many people will know who you are and what you did. The information will be made available to everyone that you broke laws governing rules of the road, physics, and common sense and - at the very least - injured yourself. But that is okay because you had the responsibility of knowing what the rules were before you earned your driver's license (a privilege, not a "right") and the keys to the vehicle of your choice. You made "choices". You discovered "consequences". And if people, the public near and far from you, want to judge you and spit on you and share their opinions directly with you regarding your choices and the impact of your actions on the society in which everyone shares - what would be the big deal? It would be okay, right? After all, you are just a big piece of meat who drove a couple of thousand pounds of metal, plastic, and rubber off the road and changed the daily routines of at least several dozens of people who were strangers to you until that day. Right? People have car wrecks everyday. What's the big deal? Hamburger or human? Meat is meat.
Isn't it?
- 0Aug 20, '08 by NursertonThe fact that she posted it on Facebook... Sooooo unprofessional. had it been some type of nursing education forum or something, I don't think it would have been AS big of a deal. The fact of the matter is that HIPAA requires IDENTIFYING information be kept private...a random piece of brain meat is not identifying, sorry if that offends you. However, consent IS required for things like this...so i guess I'm a bit confused myself as to what is the "right answer" in this case....
- 2Aug 20, '08 by NursertonTime out...on a more important note (theoretically)...if she was that close..then she was scrubbed in..so wouldn't whipping out the phone & leaning over open brain matter with it have totally *broken* sterile field and jeopardized pt health in a much more tangible way than privacy hooplah...hmm..
- 1Aug 20, '08 by MursingMaleI do agree that HIPPA is a bit overreaching, but it is the law. The fact of the matter is that the hospital and the nurse could all be fined by the government/sued by the patient because of this act. If you do not like the law, use the proper channels to change it instead of taking the Robin Hood approach of undermining it. This nurse was wrong, and while the punishment may seem harsh to some, she should have known better.
To the person who compared this to a security camera taking pictures at the mall: The difference is that you have NO reasonable expectation of privacy at a mall, in a hospital you do.

Impressions: App Store Genius
As part of the recent OS 3.1 upgrade for the iPhone, Apple introduced a new feature intended to suggest apps based on your previous purchases. Like the similar function introduced to music listeners in iTunes 8.0, this handy little feature goes by the name "Genius." But does the App Store Genius live up to it's name like it's big brother, or is this genius just a C student in disguise?
Accessing the Genius function is a simple enough process. At the top of the App Store App beside the New and What's Hot options that we've grown accustomed to will be a new to access Genius. The first time you access this you'll need to read and agree to the Genius Terms of Service, but once that's out of the way it's pretty much smooth sailing as it compiles a list of recommendations.
iTunes Genius has, in my experience, offered a wonderfully appropriate list of suggestions based on my listening tastes. They've turned me on to new music, suggested music I already know I love — all in all it's been a quality service since it launched. It's baby sibling, however, isn't fairing as well.
While iTunes Genius seems to base it's recommendations off of the purchases of like-minded individuals, App Store Genius feels as though it's pulling random apps from similar categories and dumping them in your lap. Paypal was recommended based on my use of CBC Radio. NFL 2010 was recommended because I have Pac-Man Remix. While these things might technically fall under the same category, their purposes and audiences couldn't be less similar.
Still, it's not all bad. Based on my use of Tweetie a number of Twitter-related apps were suggested my way. My use of Twitpic led to a recommendation for HP iPrint Photo. These are all things that are thematically the same. They make sense. The problem is that more often than not I would be recommended MLB at Bat based on Twitpic or DOOM based on Civilization Revolution.
Looking at your purchases on the whole and making recommendations based on those might have made a little more sense. If it did Genius would learn pretty quick how much I love tower defense games, and recommendations of those would have been a welcome addition to the sea of nonsense that's currently presented. It may break from the system used by iTunes Genius, but maybe that's what's needed here. Music and apps are two very different beasts, and those beasts need two very different approaches to be tackled effectively.
One thing that surprised me was that Genius only factored in apps currently on your device. If you've purchased apps in the past but removed them, those aren't included. One can appreciate the logic behind this — if you've deleted an app you probably don't like it — but there's a flipside to that argument. What if you loved the app, but just didn't need it right now? Secret of Monkey Island SE easily ranks amongst my favorite iPhone games, but I deleted it once I was finished because of the space it took up. In my mind, that's something that should absolutely be factored in to any recommendation engine that's trying to learn about my shopping habits.
App Store Genius is a great idea, but it's execution is poor and contrary to the it's own purposes. Without consistently sensible recommendations, this just isn't a part of the App Store that you'll find yourself visiting.

How giving became coolDecember 28,2012It was 15 years ago that Ted Turner needed something interesting to say in a speech — and decided, in a rush, to give away $1 billion.
"I was on my way to New York to make the speech," Turner recalled to me. "I just thought, what am I going to say?"
So, in front of a stunned dinner audience, he announced a $1 billion gift to U.N. causes such as fighting global poverty.
In nominal terms, before adjusting for inflation, that semiaccidental donation was, at the time, believed to be the biggest single gift ever made, and it has helped transform philanthropy.
Tycoons used to compete for their place on the Forbes and Fortune lists of wealthiest people. If they did give back, it was often late in life and involved museums or the arts. They spent far more philanthropic dollars on oil paintings of women than on improving the lives of real women.
Turner's gift helped change that culture, reviving the tradition of great philanthropists like Rockefeller and Carnegie. Turner publicly began needling other billionaires — including Bill Gates and Warren Buffett — to be more generous. That was a breach of etiquette, but it worked.
"It's a starting point for me of this modern era of high-profile big public giving," reflected Matthew Bishop, co-author of "Philanthrocapitalism," a terrific book about how the business world is reshaping philanthropy. "He called on others to step up, which did have a crystallizing effect on others. It allowed journalists and others who were talking to Bill Gates to say: 'Why aren't you giving more?'" Then they tormented Buffett with the same question.
Ultimately, Gates and Buffett made huge contributions that are transforming the struggle against global disease and poverty. My hunch is that Gates will be remembered less for his work on personal computers than for his accomplishments against malaria, AIDS and poverty itself.
Gates and Buffett are both now recruiters for the Giving Pledge, which commits zillionaires to give away at least half their wealth. The giving pledge adds to the expectation that those who have won the global jackpot should give something back.
Turner channeled his money through the United Nations Foundation, where it was leveraged to get other contributions so as to bring $2 billion to finance causes from malaria to polio, from climate change to family planning.
The gift brought new respect to the United Nations and made it increasingly fashionable for billionaires to worry about global poverty. These tycoons bring not just their checkbooks to the table but also a business sensibility that introduces greater rigor and evaluation to the world of bleeding hearts.
All this has helped shine a greater spotlight on neglected issues — which, in turn, has led to extraordinary results. A study this month reported that infant mortality around the world dropped by more than half from 1990 to 2010. That's millions of lives saved each year.
Of course, not everybody has gotten the memo. Take Donald Trump, who has contributed his name to a foundation but little more. An investigation by The Smoking Gun website described him as possibly "the least charitable billionaire in the United States," for he apparently gave the foundation just $3.7 million — over 20 years. Trump, who has said he is worth $7 billion, is not even the largest contributor to his own foundation.
(A spokesman for Trump suggested that it would be "totally incorrect" to characterize him as uncharitable, saying that he has also donated land in upstate New York for public parks and "millions of dollars" to other causes.)
Turner isn't shy about encouraging others to jump on board. When I asked if he had any advice for my readers, he grew particularly animated: "You don't have to have any money to make a difference; you can pick up trash walking down the street, and I do that all the time," he said. "You can volunteer your time. You can be a big brother or a big sister."
Look, it makes me a little squeamish to extol a billionaire, for our society already has too much worship of the wealthy — and, in any case, the working poor in America are often more generous in percentage terms (and in volunteering) than those far better off.
That said, it warms my heart that a mogul donated $1 billion to enliven a speech, didn't even put his name on the foundation and then let the money quietly save lives around the world.
If you're still reading, Donald Trump, it's your move.

Monica Spear
Mónica Spear Mootz (born October 1, 1984 in Maracaibo, Zulia State, Venezuela) is a former beauty pageant titleholder who won Miss Venezuela 2004 and an actress. Despite being considered a dark horse during the Miss Venezuela 2004 pageant, Spear went on to win the national crown and represent Venezuela at Miss Universe 2005. She made the top 15 after Ana Karina Áñez (Miss Venezuela 2003) failed to make the top 15 in Miss Universe 2004 (the first time in 22 years for a Venezuelan in Quito, Ecuador. She went on to place in the top five after the evening gown and swimsuit competitions. During the interview or Final Question round, Spear failed to answer the question given by Miss Mexico, Laura Elizondo, and therefore was named only 4th runner-up. Prior to being named the "fifth most beautiful woman in the universe," Spear completed a bachelor's degree in theater from the University of Central Florida before returning to Venezuela to compete in the national pageant. Her participation in Miss Venezuela also became notorious when she was asked during the traditional "breakfast with press" the day after the pageant, because of her degree, which Venezuelan playwright she liked the most, to  ( Wikipedia article )

Missing Tennesseee!
Well it wont be long now, just 48 days til Im in Tennessee sitting with my family and filling them in on what is going on in my life and sharing the Christmas season together. :) I miss my family so much sometimes it hurts. But I know God has me here in NY for a reason. So much good has come out of being here. I have to say though I do miss my family's sense of humor and the way they love to kid around. I really enjoy being around them more than they know. I cant wait to get there and have an old fashion singing with old country and southern gospel music. :) Seeing my nephews will be a real treat too, they are growing up so fast and I am missing it. :( I cant wait to give them lots of hugs and kisses. I can see Bobby growing up someday being a professional sports player and Chase a doctor! :) Boy, home in Tennessee, its just the kind of refreshment I need!

University pension system chief sees way to fix one error in state law
BY SANDRA GUY Higher Education Reporter May 6, 2014 8:07PM
Christopher Kennedy | Seth Perlman/AP file photo
Updated: June 8, 2014 6:31AM
The head of the state universities' pension system said Tuesday he expects one of two changes in the pension law to be fixed this week.
University leaders have warned that these changes would prompt hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of university faculty and employees to retire before July 1 or suffer big pension losses.
William Mabe, executive director of the State Universities Retirement System, said he will recommend an immediate change in the system's interpretation of the law to fix an error that would have calculated an employee's benefits as of last year instead of this year. If left alone, that interpretation — made by the system's own lawyers — would have led to a more significant reduction in retirement benefits than the Legislature had intended.
The system's executive committee is expected to approve Mabe's recommendation at a special meeting on Thursday afternoon in Chicago.
The change could go into effect as early as Monday, even though it must still be submitted to the Legislature's Joint Committee on Administrative Rules for final approval, Mabe said.
Mabe said in a phone interview that the system's leaders thought they could correct the problem through Legislative action, but time is running out. The effective date by which employees must decide to retire will remain the end of June.
The state has received 1,400 retirement applications — about twice the usual number, Mabe said.
The proposed fix isn't good enough for Chris Kennedy, the chairman of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees, who presided over a special trustees' meeting held on April 18 to emphasize the urgency of the situation.
Kennedy said the U. of I. trustees insist that the Legislature has to correct a second issue: A change in the guaranteed investment earnings rate for employees from 7.75 percent a year to a market-based rate based on the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond rate as of July 1, plus 0.75 percent. The market rate amounts to about 4.5 percent.
Kennedy said he hopes Legislature will correct the second issue by the end of May or the state will stand to suffer a tremendous brain drain of senior faculty members, mostly ages 45 to 60, who will take their higher retirement payout now and get new positions elsewhere.
"They [legislators] can watch the intellectual leadership of the state move to the coasts, because all of the university leadership in a certain age bracket who have at least a decade or two left in their careers will be incentivized to move somewhere else," Kennedy said in a phone interview. "We will pay them to leave. That's the sick thing. That is insane."
Steve Brown, spokesman for Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, said the interest rate change was meant to stabilize the precarious pension system.
"It will make the system stable," Brown said. "The system prior to the legislation was completely unstable and could go out of business in a few years. Some of these artificial return figures were brought back to a real basis."

Nashua zoning board approves plan for Trafalgar Square restaurant
The same property is also going to house — if approved by the Nashua City Planning Board on Aug. 8 — a four-story hotel titled TS Residence Inn LLC."
Paul Okonak, who lives nearby at the Cannongate III apartment complex, also expressed concerns about additional traffic at the small intersection where Cannongate and Trafalgar Square connect.
Okonak also noted that there are already four other hotels in the nearby vicinity.Gerry Reppucci, chairman of the ZBA, said the traffic concerns are valid. However, he said those issues must be addressed by the Nashua City Planning Board when the hotel application is reviewed next month.
Reppucci said the existing parcel is an eyesore, maintaining the hotel and restaurant proposal attempts to beautify an area of the city that really needs attention.

This is the third helmet I own. I bought this one because of the design of the front. It has a flat surface that holds my Gopro perfectly with only the head band. The lower placement of the camera (lower than what the Gopro attachment allows) gives me an excellent view of my skis and partial view of my feet. Other helmets have rounded surfaces and the camera shifts position.

The helmet has the ear pads, so I thought it would be warm but once I got pretty high up in the chair lift my ears were killing me make sure to wear a beenie under the helmet. The back goggle strap doesn't lock/pop into place like most other helmets. I almost lost my goggles on the chairlift because of that and I got super mad I suggest getting a helmet that pops into place!

Thankfully I haven't had to use the product for what it was designed for, but it is comfortable and sits low on my head which I like. It also keeps my head warm enough, but doesn't sweat it out. The only drawback is the plastic clip, I tend to loose them or they break off.

Overall good product, only con is that if you want to wear the googles on the outside of the helmet you need to have them completely on or completely off. If you try to take them off of your eyes and rest on top of the helmet they pop off. Strap holder is positioned too high.

Kids fight. It's part of childhood. But you never thought you'd be the parent called into school because your child was the instigator in a conflict. And here you are, fresh out of the principal's office, stunned. Don't worry, say the experts. Putting an end to your kid's bullying behavior is totally possible -- as long as you, the parent, are brave enough to face the facts and tackle the issue head on. Not only will you stop the principal's office visits and calls from other parents, but you'll also help your child learn how to get along in the world by treating people right. Unless she's heading for a career in crime or reality television, it's something she'll need to know.
