Theory has, at length, become so "scientific" and abstract as to intrigue the mathematicians who have taken delight in developing the concept of a kaleidoscopic and frictionless play of atomistic units in a complex and eternally unfolding equilibrium. The notion of equilibrium suggested equations; equations are prolific parents of their kind; and the game has gone on until the pages of the more esoteric economic journals have become a mass of hieroglyphics intelligible only to those who know the code. All the inconvenient freight of fact has been discarded by the more recondite practitioners until the "science" has come to move in a realm of pure abstraction useful for purposes of cerebration but of steadily declining practical importance.Source:
Much first-rate analytical skill and much scholarly industry has miscarried because the road to academic recognition lay in the refinement of traditional technique, or in assiduous dust-gathering, with little consideration of ultimate purpose. The means have been exalted over the end, and the neophyte, compelled to show his mastery of technique, has quickly learned to love and practice it for its own sake.
This is not to deny the virtue, even the necessity, of abstract speculation or the desirability of the most catholic comprehension of the facts. It is merely to assert that these should be tools rather than ornaments and that we should never cease to ask ourselves what we want and how we propose to get it.

Did A-Rod even offer to take Jeter's place? Did Jeter forbid A-Rod from playing short? Dave Jordan would like to know.
TRENTON, N.J. – Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is not expecting to make any major moves today as New York opens a key three-game series with the Baltimore Orioles. He's not ruling out a move that would bring an addition eligible for the postseason, but it's not likely. "If there is a player out there who can contribute to what we're doing, and help us in an area of need, we'll consider it,'' Cashman said. "I just don't see it.''
Reflective Chamberlain on verge of returning to Yankees, writes Jed Weisberger.
The three-way trade involving the Yankees, Detroit Tigers and Arizona Diamondbacks – you know, the one in which Curtis Granderson came to the Yankees Dec. 8, 2009 – is often rated as one of the best multi-player deals ever. Why, because each of the three teams received a player, or players, that have been keys to their success. Just like another Dec. 8 blockbuster 32 years prior, which will be talked about later.

Utah Jazz pumped to test themselves against LeBron & Co. (+video)
SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz host the Miami Heat Monday night at EnergySolutions Arena, and they're as pumped up for the showdown as their fans are.
"I think you have to. (Miami is) one of the elite teams in this league, championship-caliber team," Jazz forward Paul Millsap said. "It's kind of a stepping stool for us to see where we're at."
The Jazz, having won five of seven, bring a 20-19 overall record and an 11-5 mark at home into this game. Small forward Marvin Williams is expected to return to the starting lineup after missing the past three games, while Jamaal Tinsley is also back after sitting out the second half of Saturday's comeback win over Detroit while under the weather.
"They're the defending world champions," Jazz swingman Gordon Hayward said of the Heat. "I think we get up for every game, but this is going to be the type of game that we've got to make sure we come out focused and we come off with a lot of energy."
The Heat are 24-11, but have gone just 6-5 since beating the Jazz 105-89 in Miami on Dec. 22.
"It's just a game we have to win," Jazz center Al Jefferson said. "They is the defending champs, so you've got to come ready to play, but it's most definitely a game that we just focus on winning."
The Heat will be without forward Shane Battier (strained right hamstring). He had 15 points, three rebounds and three blocks against Utah last month.
Other short shots from Jazz shootaround:
• Paul Millsap on Detroit coach Lawrence Frank saying the Jazz have an instigator culture:
"We are a physical team. We've been a physical team. This is a physical culture. We've been like that for years. From ground up hard working. I guess if somebody say that, it's gotta be a compliment to us."
• Hayward on what he sees as the key to a Jazz win:
"We've got to take care of the basketball. Turning it over is just kind of playing it into their hands. They have too many guys that can finish in transition and make big plays. That's going to be a key for us: make sure that we take care of the basketball and don't let turnovers lead into easy buckets for them. As well, I think we can offensive rebound on them, too, so that will slow them down as well."
• Jefferson on what Miami did well in holding him to six points last game:
"They did a great job fronting me, and when I did catch the ball they sent the double team from the baseline. They had a heck of a defensive scheme for me. I've got to find a way to get the ball in movement, get the ball through the offense instead of just trying to run floppy punch and cross fire into me. Every team is trying to do that, so it's just something I've got to get used to and prepare for."
• Big Al on being back home for 15 of the next 20:
"We should have been 3-0 on the road trip. That game in Atlanta (a loss after blowing a 15-point lead) still bothers me a lot, but we finished 2-1 and we come back home for a good little home stand now. But we've got a tough one tonight to start it off."
Added Jefferson: "It's cold here, man. It ain't never been this cold since I've been here. I don't know what's going on. (But) it's always great to play home, especially try to get some of these wins, try to take advantage of it. I think we're playing better on the road than we was at the beginning of the season. I think it's going to continue to get better."
• Jefferson on what challenges Chris Bosh presents defensively:
- Peavler: Tom Holmoe deserves credit... 82
- Timpview standout, 2014 Mr. Football... 66
- Report: ACC changes stance, now... 62
- Bruins bruise Utes in 69-59 upset 41

Best Beers for March Madness
Listerman Friar Bacon
Host city: Dayton, Ohio
Dayton's star has risen as the host city for the tournament's play-in games and one of the site's for its East regional match-ups, but it still has a long way to go to catch up with Ohio's other brewing towns.
Home to a huge Boston Beer (SAM) Samuel Adams brewery in Cincinnati and the home of powerhouse craft brewers such as Great Lakes Brewing, Ohio knows its beer. Unfortunately, Dayton is still kind of feeling its way around. Listerman has been fighting the good fight as a small brewery since 1991, though, and has supplemented its income by selling home brewing equipment since 2008.
During that time, it's also produced this smoky rauchbier that gets its roasted flavor straight from the grain and malt, pulls a little more maple flavor out of said malt and hits a drinker with just a little hoppiness at the finish. At 7% alcohol by volume, this amber beauty is going to be downright beastly for fans who enjoy their beers light, fizzy and bought in pairs during game breaks. But it's a must-drink brew that's a great -- if gimmicky -- example of Dayton's brewing potential.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Choosing to pursue a graduate degree can be seen as a public declaration that you are committed to higher learning and to giving yourself the best opportunities for advancement. Pursuing a Master's in Occupational Therapy is a great way for people with a wide variety of Bachelor's degrees to gain this advanced knowledge while, in some cases, beginning a new career. Many of our applicants have been in the work force and have decided to return to school to pursue a career where they can feel like they're making a difference in someone's life.
Choose Only the Best
The Master's in Occupational Therapy at ADU is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). Students in the program will have the benefit of a very flexible schedule with classes two days per week and the utilization of blended learning they can do from home. In the clinical setting, our Academic Fieldwork Coordinator has worked hard to secure over 200 contracts with various schools and agencies around the country to give our students a wide variety of options during their seven clinical rotations. The program is seven trimesters in length, or two and a half years, with the last two trimesters being solely clinical. This will allow students to complete the final requirements anywhere, even out of state.
Occupational Therapy Career Outlook
One of the largest benefits of having a Master's in Occupational Therapy is to give yourself more options for independent employment once your degree is finished. OTs are able to start their own business, develop new equipment for use with their patients, or work in a more traditional setting if that is their preference. A Master's will also open the door to additional research opportunities and will prepare students for doctoral work. Recent graduates of an Occupational Therapy program can expect to earn $55,000-80,000 per year in the Central Florida area.
Program Accreditation
Adventist University of Health Sciences is accredited to award Master's, Bachelor's, and Associate of Science degrees and certificates by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA 30033-4097, 404-679-4500. The University is also accredited by the Accrediting Association of Seventh-day Adventist Schools, Colleges and Universities.
The entry-level occupational therapy master's degree program at Adventist University of Health Sciences is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, Suite 200, Bethesda, MD 20814-3449. ACOTE's telephone number c/o AOTA is (301) 652-AOTA and its Web address is www.acoteonline.org. Graduates of the program will be eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapist administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR). In addition, most states require licensure in order to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination (https://secure.nbcot.org/data/schoolstats.aspx). The National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) and various state licensing agencies require disclosure of all felony convictions. The results of this background check may impact eligibility for certification and licensure. Eligibility should be determined in advance of beginning an educational program. Felony convictions must be resolved by the NBCOT's Qualifications Review Committee. Mental health intervention may also affect the individual's ability to obtain state licensure.

Dodig shines in Memphis opener
Comment on this storyMemphis - Ivan Dodig of Croatia beat eighth-seeded Bernard Tomic of Australia 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (8) on Monday in the opening round of the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships.
The unseeded Dodig survived two match points in a third-set tiebreaker, winning when Tomic netted an easy volley to end the nearly three-hour match.
The 19-year-old Tomic, Australia's top-ranked player, lost for only the third time this season. His only other losses have been to third-ranked Roger Federer and No. 4 Andy Murray.
Among those advancing to the second round in the Memphis International, the accompanying women's event, were Lucie Hradecka, Marina Erakovic, Michaella Krajicek and 2006 champion Sofia Arvidsson. - Sapa-AP

Re: 1992
Rain, and rain only, delays Graf
St. Petersburg Times
Mar 8, 1992
Mary Joe Fernandez waited all day and into night Saturday to play Steffi Graf, and then played a match that was hardly worth waiting for.
Heavy rains delayed the start of their Virginia Slims of Florida semifinal for three hours. When play began at about 10 p.m., all Miami's Fernandez could offer the 3,000 or so of her South Florida neighbors who stuck around was a 6-0, 7-5 loss.
Fernandez was left wondering what went wrong, while the top-seeded Graf skated into today's final against fourth-seeded Conchita Martinez, who dusted off unseeded upstart Amanda Coetzer 4-6, 6-3, 6-0.
"(The rain delay) didn't really bother me," Graf said. "I just wanted to get it on."
Fernandez, seeded third, no doubt hoped the rain delay would work in her favor. Heaven knows she could use some help against Graf, who has thumped her in each of their seven meetings.
Graf nixed that idea from the beginning. In the first set, Graf didn't even give Fernandez enough points (three) to collectively win a game. The opening set took 17 minutes.
Fernandez came out tentative, and Graf gobbled her up, snapping at every soft groundstroke Fernandez pushed over the net.
Fernandez picked up the pace in the second set, breaking Graf's serve at the start. But by then, Graf was already in her groove and Fernandez was on a one-way street out of the tournament. After just more than an hour, Fernandez knocked a forehand into the net, ending the match at about 11:12 p.m.
The only thing that bothered Graf was that the start of the match caused her to miss the end of the movie Beverly Hills Cop.
"I missed the last 10 minutes," said Graf, who is 5-0 against Martinez and is going for her third Slims of Florida title.
It was unfortunate for tournament officials that the Graf-Fernandez match lacked drama, because the Coetzer-Martinez match was short on it, too. It went the distance, but it was about as mundane as any three-setter could be.
Granted, the 61st-ranked Coetzer did add some intrigue to the afternoon with her quick start, prompting some to wonder if she was going to pull the plug on the favored Martinez just as she had done to a dumbfounded Gabriela Sabatini a day earlier. Unlike their previous encounters, Martinez was flubbing virtually every other shot, racking up 29 unforced errors - 23 off her forehand - in the first set alone.
"I missed too much; many mistakes," Martinez said. "I figured it was impossible to play that bad all match."
Coetzer, 20, raced out to a 4-0 lead and then made the first of two deadly mistakes.
"I started thinking about winning the set," she admitted. "I let my mind slip and she started playing more defensively."
As a result, Martinez closed to 4-4 and stretched what should have been an almost effortless opening set into a grind. Although Coetzer eventually won the set, the effort combined with 100-plus on-court temperature took its toll later.
After breaking Martinez's serve to start the second set, Coetzer again made the mistake of looking too far ahead. "I was thinking of winning the match," she said. "Then she started playing more and I couldn't hit the shots."
Martinez ran away with the second set and when the third began, Coetzer had already had enough. "I was struggling to get my breath," she said.
For Martinez, today's final is her second in as many weeks. Last Sunday she reached the final of the Evert Cup, where she lost to top-ranked Monica Seles.
Regardless of how she does today, she has already logged her best showing ever here. Last year, in her only appearance at this event, she was upset in her first match by Claudia Porwik.
"I came here very comfortable with the way I'm playing," Martinez said. "The draw was good to me and now I'm in the finals and I'm very happy with that." - Information from the Associated Press was used in this roundup.

Why Is Caffeine So Important for Working Out?
Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system by blocking adenosine, a neurotransmitter that normally causes a calming effect in the body. The resulting neural stimulation due to this blockage causes the adrenal glands to release adrenaline, the "fight or flight" hormone. Your heart rate increases, and it releases glucose into your blood stream for extra energy. Caffeine is going to extend your endurance, make you more powerful, and it will have an ergogenic effect on muscle.
Caffeine has been noted to increase the burning of bodyfat as fuel. Caffeine increases VO2 Max by 19%, work production by 7.4%, and 7.3% in maximum oxygen uptake. Caffeine has been shown to increase time to exhaustion by 18% and exercise intensity by 24%. It allows you to go longer and harder in the gym. It also raises the lactate threshold in relaton to workload, so that there is less build-up of lactic acid (a byproduct of exercise that sets in fatigue).
Caffeine also has direct effects on muscle contraction, and makes the work feel easier, possibly due to eh increased concentration and alertness that caffeine provides. Research reveals that caffeine increases the capacity for sustained intellectual effort and decreased reaction times. Caffeine has arousing effects and often changes one's habits of a drousy and sedentary person t an alert and active person.

As a high-school student working at a local pizzeria, John Schnatter often pondered how he would do things differently if he owned such a business himself. After graduating from college in 1983, he got his chance, knocking down the broom closet in his father's tavern to create his own pizza-delivery business. Since then Papa John's Pizza has grown to 3,500 restaurants in 50 states and 29 countries. At each location, cooks cover the signature hand-tossed crusts, made with high-protein flour and clear, filtered water, with tomato sauce from vine-ripened California tomatoes, then pile on locally sourced ingredients such as green peppers and onions. The emphasis on fresh ingredients extends to the 100% mozzarella cheese, beef, and pork, which are never artificially inflated with fillers or undeserved compliments.
In addition to delivering pizzas, Papa John's reaches out to the community with charity involvement, including partnering with the Boy Scouts of America and Junior Achievement to teach US students about entrepreneurship and the best method of capturing a wild roma tomato.
So successful were the three original Lamppost Pizza establishments that the eatery has grown to 37 locations since its inception in 1976. Friendliness and fun unite with the pizzeria's penchant for sports to make visits memorable. But as nice as big-screen TVs can be, the real magnetism of this haven for sauce and cheese lays in the pies spun in the kitchen. Beer and wine complement the menu, which also includes calzones, pastas, sandwiches, and grill fare such as burgers.
Serving fresh and speedy pies across America for more than 50 years, Little Caesars now sates impatient appetites and sauce-starved tongue buds worldwide. Select from cheese, sausage, or pepperoni on your two sumptuous, Hot-N-Ready large pizzas (a $5 value each), which are crafted from fresh dough disks that are made in-store every day and will be ready and waiting whenever the craving hits you. The accompanying order of eight Crazy bread sticks and tomato-based Crazy sauce (a $2.99 value) is perfect for completing the party or sating stomachs that have developed crust issues ever since they caught pizza sharing a plate with predressed salad.
Need a fix? That's what we do. We offer hand-crafted gourmet pizzas, authentic Italian gelato and sorbet (made fresh daily), baked-to-order cookies (in under 2 minutes), delicious oven-roasted sandwiches (served with homemade fries) and some pretty yummy appetizers too!
It may be called the Big Apple, but New York City is far more famous for another culinary export. Pizza practically counts as its own food group across the five boroughs, where the slices are thin and foldable. If the pies at Giant New York Pizza are any indication, Vallejo is staking its claim as New York's honorary sixth borough.
The pizzeria's chefs are decidedly old school in their approach, starting with housemade dough that's brushed with olive oil and slathered with a sauce that's also housemade. They take some liberties with their toppings, straying from New York tradition to create pizzas such as the Santa Fe (chipotle pesto sauce, chicken sausage, red onions, sweet corn, tomatoes, and cilantro) and the spicy Maui (white sauce, grilled chicken, pineapple, red onions, and jalape?os).
When it comes to specialty pizzas, Napoli Pizza & Pasta bats for the fences. Since 1968, the pizzeria has pleased customers, stuffing their menu to the breaking point with a whopping 15 different specialty pies that entice vegetarians, meat-lovers, and barbecue fans alike. Fixins such as salami, sausage, barbecue sauce, pesto, artichokes, and chicken crowd the crusts?crusts that come in regular and gluten-free varieties. The pizza Christonio, named after the owner?s son, leaves off the sauce completely and piles on four cheeses. Another pizza named after the owner?s daughter, Natalia, slathers pesto sauce atop the crust. And the chefs don?t just make pizza. They also have a variety of homemade pasta dishes, sandwiches, and calzones.

In the culinary world, few chefs need less of an introduction than Geoffrey Zakarian.
He's an Iron Chef, a TV star, an author and an executive chef at several restaurants around the country in New York, Miami and most importantly at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa.
You may know Chef Zakarian from his work on the Food Network shows "Chopped", "The Next Iron Chef", "Super Chefs"(which he won) and "The Best Thing I Ever Ate", to name just a few of his shows. But we here at Borgata know him as the Culinary Lifestyle Consultant for Borgata's signature hotel, The Water Club.
Yes, chefs like Zakarian get cool titles and you can usually check out his modern American cuisine by staying at The Water Club and ordering from the in-house menu or visiting The Water Club's lobby lounge Sunroom.

Dirk Kuyt walks out of the tunnel at the Şükrü Saracoğlu stadium into the blinding light of the midday sun. Once his eyes have adjusted, they fall upon the yellow and blue stand opposite where more than 10,000 supporters of Fenerbahçe have gathered to welcome him.
Kuyt had already met a number of them at Rotterdam airport. No sooner had he got out of his car before catching a flight to Istanbul than he was affably shaking hands with Fenerbahçe fans. Once there for his medical, he signed shirts and smiled for photographs with the Fenerbahçe-supporting doctors, obligingly holding up a message to one of the staff's sons so that he could show it off to his friends at school. "I have come to realise just how big this club is," Kuyt said.
As he walked across the pitch towards the stage where he was due to publicly sign a three-year contract worth a reported €2.85m a season, a chant of "Kuyt, Kuyt, Kuyt, Olé, Olé, Olé" reverberated around the ground. Scarf around his neck, clapping the fans, his first act was to pay tribute to Turkish soldiers killed earlier in the week.
After a minute's silence, Kuyt sat down, lent over the microphone and said: "Hello Fenerbahçe" in Turkish. He then thanked everyone for coming, expressed his wish to win a lot of trophies and become part of the club's history. Kuyt concluded by having another go in the language of his adopted country: "It's an honor to be a part of Fenerbahçe."
Nice touch, wasn't it? Simple, yes, but not many footballers make that sort of effort, do they? Not these days anyway. This isn't a weary lament for times gone by, just another show of admiration for how Kuyt handles himself, how he tries to relate to supporters, identify with them and his new surroundings, the city and the culture. He 'gets it'. He understands what they need to see and hear and that remains a rare quality.
When it emerged that Kuyt was leaving Liverpool earlier this summer after six years at Anfield, there was many a sigh not of relief but regret. No one wanted to see him go. "From the first day he came to the club, he was someone you could trust and knew that he would never let you down on the pitch," insisted Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard. "I will miss him around the place and I wish him and his family all the best in Turkey."
The most touching tribute for Kuyt came from Rafa Benitez, the manager who signed him from Feyenoord on the recommendation of a former player of his at Extremadura, Igor Gluscevic, who had played with him at Utrecht.
Kuyt had turned out to be a different player from the one the fans expected. After scoring 83 goals in 122 games for Feyenoord, he was welcomed as a messiah, the new Ian Rush. But there was to be no second coming. Still, Kuyt found other ways to endear himself to Liverpool, not least by learning the Scouse Alphabet. He wasn't prolific, but he did score important goals. Such was his versatility, his professionalism, and his spirit of sacrifice, that he earned a place in the heart of Benitez and everyone on the Kop.
"When no one showed to receive from a thrown-in there was always the willing and ever ready Dirk," Benitez wrote. "If you needed someone to get into position to finish, of course it would be him. When you needed him to run behind the defence against Milan to create space between the lines for Gerrard again it had to be Kuyt. If you needed one last effort to help against a defender who was getting forward, Dirk Kuyt did it willing as if he would do it ad infinitum.
"A lot of people talk of players who play for the shirt and their loyalty, but I can tell you that in my opinion, in my career as a coach, I don't know of many players who have played for the Liverpool shirt like he did."
All of which, regardless of what club you support, makes it hard not to root for Kuyt and the early personal success he is enjoying on the Bosphorus with Fenerbahçe. "We have done a great job in buying Kuyt," the Yellow Canaries's coach Aykut Kocaman said. So quickly has he taken to life there, it's as if he were born and raised in Kadıköy. Kuyt has scored six goals in six games, each imbued with trademark importance.
After a 1-1 draw with Vaslui at the Şükrü Saracoğlu in the first leg of their third qualifying round of the Champions League, Fenerbahçe, it seemed, risked spending yet another year outside of the competition after serving a ban last season following the match-fixing scandal that engulfed Turkey. With the second leg on a knife edge at 1-1 after over an hour, Kuyt struck twice and paved the way for a 4-2 aggregate victory that kept their hopes of reaching the group stages alive.
He then left his mark on the Turkish Süpa Kupa against league champions Galatasaray in Erzurum. Kuyt certainly was a provocateur in his first derby. Involved in a confrontation with Galatasaray's tempestuous midfielder Engin Baytar after a deflected Alex free-kick made it 1-1, he then leveled the score at 2-2 with a diving header.
Replays showed that the ball had struck Fenerbahçe midfielder Cristian Baroni's hand in the build-up, incensing Galatasaray. While Kuyt celebrated, arms-outstretched, blowing a kiss and beating his chest, the Galatasaray players surrounded the referee and Engin Baytar was sent off for dissent. Despite being down to 10 men, Galatasaray won 3-2 through a last minute penalty from Umut Bulut, but irrespective of the result Kuyt was by now a favourite among the Fenerbahçe crowd.
He found the net again in his league debut, a 1-1 draw with Elaziğspor, and got his first competitive goal at the Şükrü Saracoğlu this weekend, in a 3-0 victory against Gaziantepspor.
Either side of those games is Fenerbahçe's Champions League play-off tonight with Spartak Moscow. If it weren't for Kuyt, the tie might already be over. He got a precious away goal in a 2-1 defeat at the Luzhniki which leaves Wednesday night's second leg delicately poised. The atmosphere in Istanbul promises to be tense.
During the first leg, a section of Spartak fans allegedly held up anti-Muslim banners and burned a portrait of Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, who Fenerbahçe have long claimed was a supporter of their club. Days later, Spartak's official website was hacked. A picture of Atatürk appeared were the home page used to be with a message that apparently read: "Apologise immediately to the Turkish people. FIFA will ignore this but we will not allow this crime to go unpunished."
The best form of revenge is, of course, to be found on the pitch. For Kuyt, there'll be memories of four years ago when Liverpool were also involved in a finely poised Champions League play-off match against Standard Liege. With no goals scored, it went to extra-time and penalties loomed. Then in the 118th minute, a Ryan Babel cross soared towards the far post and who should be there but Kuyt to poke home a winner that ensured Liverpool reached the group stages.
If he repeats the same heroics on Wednesday night, his wish to become part of the club's history like Lefter Küçükandonyadis, Can Bartu and Alex, will be on its way to coming true, for few players have started the careers in Kadıköy as well as Kuyt.

With Manowar you know what you're gonna get. There's ALWAYS going to be at least 1 or 2 truly great, fucking amazing songs. A handfull of really good songs, and a few songs that you could do without. This is a fact of life, so obviously Sign of the Hammer is no exception.
"All Men Play on Ten" is a great rocking song to kick off the album, insanely cheesey and a bit fluffy but still fun as hell and you can't help but sing along and bang your head. "Animals" is a pretty straight forward rocker, and could easily be a song from Battle Hymns, not bad at all.
Then we get to "Thor(The Powerhead)" now this is what I'm talking about, holy shit this song kicks so much ass it's scary. Certainly one of their best songs ever, some of their best lyrics as well. It's a true epic without being over-long and pretentious. Awesome use of falsetto when he screams "He held up his hammer hiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh!"
"Mountains" is another epic number, it's not as powerful or as catchy as Thor but it is certainly a decent song. The title track is classic, awesome fast verses and a catchy chorus, a really wild solo by the boss. Sounds great live.
"The Oath" is pretty balls out speed metal, I absolutely love that chorus "I've sworn the ooaaaaaaaath!" Another highlight for sure, I wish they would play it live more often...Or at all for that matter.
"Thunderpick" is the obligatory bass solo, you can take that for what it's worth. "Guyana(Cult of the Damned)" closes the album in good fasion, an extremely epic number. Some impressive singing by Adams at the start, and throughout the whole song really.

The Obama campaign is marking the one-year anniversary of the successful mission to kill Osama bin Laden with a new web video hailing President Obama's decisiveness and questioning whether Mitt Romney would have done the same.
The spot features former President Bill Clinton, who validates Obama's leadership as the "decider in chief."
It also resurfaces a statement by Romney from the 2007 primary when he said, "It's not worth moving heaven and earth, spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person."
An on-screen graphic raises the question: Which path would Mitt Romney have taken? The suggestion is that under a President Romney, bin Laden would still be alive.
"He had to decide," Clinton says of Obama. "And that's what you hire a president to do. You hire the president to make the calls when no one else can do it."
The video continues a line of attack against Romney initiated by Vice President Joe Biden during a campaign speech Thursday in New York City on foreign policy.
Biden said Obama's record could be summed up in a bumper-sticker slogan: "Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive."
He said later, "You have to ask yourself… if Gov. Romney were president, would he have used the same slogan in reverse?"
Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul praised the military's successful mission to target bin Laden but said it's "sad" that Obama is campaigning on it.
"It's now sad to see the Obama campaign seek to use an event that unified our country to once again divide us, in order to try to distract voters' attention from the failures of his administration," Saul said in a statement.

There are two errors that are often committed in these areas. The conservative error is to reject both the sinner and the sin in the interests of purity and holiness. The liberal error is to minimize or even celebrate the evil of the sin as good in the interests of acceptance, tolerance, and "love."
Augustine helps us to avoid both errors. If we are at pains to legislate against certain types of behavior but are not undertaking evangelistic efforts to convert those who need it most, we engage in Pharisaic legalism. If we do nothing to rebuke sin, we engage in licentious antinomianism.
It has been said somewhere that the whole Law, according to the Jews, was given to Moses in 613 precepts, that David reduced them in the fifteenth Psalm to eleven, that Isaiah further diminished them to six, Micah to three, Isaiah in a later passage to two, but Habakkuk condensed all 613 into one: the just shall live by faith.

While driving across the American Midwest, it is common to hear travelers remark, "This state is as flat as a pancake." To the authors, this adage seems to qualitatively capture some characteristic of a topographic geodetic survey 2. This obvious question "how flat is a pancake" spurned our analytical interest, and we set out to find the 'flatness' of both a pancake and one particular state: Kansas.
New Yorkers really love their coffee: They drink 6.7 times as much as do people who live in other major cities.

Judges narrowly acquitted Socrates, the philosopher whose teachings earned him a death sentence in ancient Athens, in a retrial Friday billed as a lesson for modern times of revolution and crisis.
Socrates spoke himself at his trial in the fourth century BC, but this time in his absence, a panel of 10 US and European judges heard pleas by top Greek and foreign lawyers at the event at the Onassis Foundation in Athens.
Cave identifies four immortality narratives that drive civilizations over time which he calls; (1) Staying Alive, (2) Resurrection, (3) Soul, and (4) Legacy. Cave gracefully marches through his four immortality narratives citing examples from history, psychology, and religion up to the modern day. "At its core, a civilization is a collection of life extension technologies: agriculture to ensure food in steady supply, clothing to stave off cold, architecture to provide shelter and safety, better weapons for hunting and defense, and medicine to combat injury and disease," he writes.

Your friends will become your surrogate family once the cruel, Darwinian abandonment of your parents and siblings is complete.

In a study published today in PLoS One, researchers report that young people aged 20-30 are able to accurately guess when a scent comes from an elderly individual aged 75-95. While study participants were also able to determine when a smell was associated with someone in middle age or in their youth, they were much better at smelling old people than young people
"Fly" mentioned above is one of my favorites (though it's considered dated by youngsters today -- they'll basically only use it ironically), but one not mentioned so is "crib" (also a bit dated) which has meant something like "house" or "home" since 1600.

Imagine you are playing two roulette wheels. Clearly, the result of one doesn't affect the outcome of the other but sometimes they'll both come up with the same number just due to chance. Now imagine you have a roulette wheel for every point or voxel in the brain. A comparison of any two scans could look like some areas show linked activity when really there is no relationship. Ideally, the analysis should separate roulette wheels from genuine activity, but you may be surprised that hundreds if not thousands of studies have been conducted without such corrections.

Review:"Valuable ammunition for those who want to do something about global warming. The carbon-aware future is coming. Goodall [and Lynas] are the pioneers, and are doing a good job of taking us with them." Guardian
Review:"Chris Goodall's thoroughly researched book sets out in detail how we can each help the planet pull back from the abyss — not through any high-powered international initiatives, but by ordinary individual actions in our daily lives. We ignore his advice at our peril." Robert Napier, Chief Executive WWF-UK
Review:"As this admirable guide demonstrates so clearly, a low-carbon lifestyle can be elegant, fun, rewarding and save us all a lot of money — as well as the planet!" Jonathon Porritt, CBE (Founder Director of Forum for the Future and author of Capitalism as if the World Matters)

GREEN WORLD (The Official Magazine of the Green Party)
Synopsis:Climate change is the greatest challenge facing humanity: drastic reduction of carbon emissions is vital if we are to avoid a catastrophe that devastates large parts of the world. Governments and businesses have been slow to act and individuals now need to take the lead. The Earth can absorb no more than 3 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year for every person on the planet if we are to keep temperature and rainfall change within tolerable limits. Yet from cars and holiday flights to household appliances and the food on our plates, Western consumer lifestyles leave each of us responsible for over 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year - four times what the Earth can handle. Individual action is essential if we want to avoid climate chaos. How to Live a Low-Carbon Life shows how easy it is to take responsibility, providing the first comprehensive, one-stop reference guide to calculating your CO2 emissions and reducing them to a sustainable 3 tonnes a year.
Synopsis:That climate change is happening is now all too clear. Many of us want to take action to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions. Yet the lack of a consolidated source of reliable information on how to calculate one's individual emissions and the difficulty in assessing different options for effectiveness and cost savings has proven to be a major stumbling block. But personal actions to reduce carbon emissions, if replicated on a sufficient scale, might just save the planet.How to Live a Low-Carbon Life provides the first comprehensive, one-stop reference guide to calculating individual carbon emissions and it lays out clear plans for how individuals can reduce their emissions. Covering all aspects of modern life from transport to home heating to food sources and the vexing issue of vacations, the book provides easy-to-use tables for conducting a personal lifestyle carbon audit.Easy reference tables enable rapid carbon footprint calculations, and a companion website houses downloadable spreadsheets to facilitate a complete lifestyle carbon audit as well as up-to-the minute information on new products and carbon-reducing technologies.This is the most comprehensive guide to calculating and reducing individual and home carbon emissions. It provides all the information needed for people and families to understand their impacts on the world's climate. It gives us the information to enable us to adjust lifestyles and live a responsible life.Written in an optimistic tone, How to Live a Low-Carbon Life shows how easy it is to take responsibility and reduce our personal carbon emissions.Listen to Chris Goodall on NPR's Science Friday.

Shifting the Cancer Research Paradigm: Early-Life Exposures and Cancer Risk Later in Life
It is becoming increasingly evident that early-life events and exposures have important consequences for cancer development later in life. However, epidemiological studies of early-life factors and cancer development later in life have had significant methodological challenges such as the long latency period, the distinctiveness of each cancer and large number of subjects that must be studied, all likely to increase costs. These traditional hurdles might be mitigated by leveraging several existing large-scale prospective studies in the United States and globally, as well as birth databases and birth cohorts, in order to launch both association and mechanistic studies of early-life exposures and cancer development later in life. Dedicated research funding will be needed to advance this paradigm shift in cancer research and it seems justified by its potential to produce transformative understanding of how cancer develops over the life-course. This in turn has the potential to transform cancer prevention strategies through interventions in early-life rather than later in life, as is the current practice, where it is perhaps less effective.
Funding Opportunities
EGRP is participating in the following NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA):
- Mechanistic Insights from Birth Cohorts - expires May 8, 2016, unless reissued
- NOT-CA-13-002 (participation of NCI in PAR-13-109)
EGRP joins with other NCI Divisions, Offices, and Centers and other Institutes and Centers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to fund grant applications submitted in response to FOAs.
View the full list of EGRP FOAs.
EGRP also encourages investigator-initiated grant applications on topics related to early life exposures and cancer.
Trans-Agency Early-Life Exposures and Cancer Working Group
The Trans-Agency Early-Life Exposures and Cancer (TAEEC) Working Group was established in June 2012 to promote the integration of early-life events and exposures, including maternal, paternal, in utero, perinatal, childhood, pre-adolescent, and adolescent events/exposures into public health cancer research, control, prevention, and policy strategies to reduce the cancer burden in the United States and globally.
It will also serve to stimulate, facilitate, and support research on early-life events/exposures and cancer within the context of the missions of the National Cancer Institute and other NIH institutes such as the National Institute of Child Health, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and the Office of Dietary Supplements, and other agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs.

'I'm our marketing director', says Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 06 March 2012 08:30AM
Michael O'Leary, chief executive of Ryanair, has dismissed the possibility of changing the airline's approach to advertising, claiming it will continue to focus its efforts on lowering passenger fares.
Speaking exclusively to Marketing, O'Leary said Ryanair invests "nothing" in advertising because, he claimed, it has the lowest fares on the market.
He said the airline had no plans to hire a senior marketer, and admitted: "I am our marketing director".
Competitors British Airways and easyJet both rolled out multimillion-pound ad campaigns in the past 12 months, but O'Leary claimed their activity has boosted the whole aviation industry.
The outspoken airline boss dismissed BA's 'To Fly. To Serve' campaign as "nonsense".
He said: "It'll take an awful lot of BA and easyJet marketing to try to cover over the fact that they can't compete with our prices."
O'Leary said he has no plans to hire an external advertising agency, arguing that Ryanair already has "probably the most recognisable [and] infamous advertising of any company in the UK".
In response to the expected rise in Air Passenger Duty on 1 April, O'Leary said the government should focus taxation on hotels and restaurants instead of flights, claiming that APD sends tourists to other European countries ahead of the UK.

Double defensive boost for Imps
Defenders Adam Watts and Cian Hughton are expected to be fit for Lincoln`s trip to Bury.Watts missed the draw against Crewe due to a sickness bug while Hughton is also due to return to the squad after boss Steve Tilson described him as "not mentally right" to play at Gresty Road.The news is a welcome boost for Tilson after on-loan duo Stephen Hunt and Julian Kelly returned to their parent clubs."Adam and Cian will be fine for this weekend, while Mustapha is also coming along nicely," said Tilson. "There's no doubt I need some extra bodies, especially after Julian and Stephen went back."Defensively we are a bit short on numbers so to have them two available will help us out a great deal."Winger Mustapha Carayol could also come back into contention after missing the last two matches with a hamstring injury.

Once the liquid in the kettle has been moved to the fermentation tank Hackett cools it to about 74 degrees. Normally, this temperature would drop a bit during fermentation, but the ancient yeast likes its food to remain consistently a little warmer then other yeast.
At this stage Hackett pours a 5-gallon jug of liquid yeast (called a brink) into the side of the fermentation tank. He locks the tank shut and lets the yeast go to work.

I got some mail today from HandyMan Club of America.
I got an invitation to join (at $12 per year). The literature says they send out products to members to be tested and fill out a questionaire about it and then you get to keep the tool you send you. Plus you get a magazine subscription and full use of their website. Anyone here know anything about this organization.
Thanks. Pooh Bear |

I used get such offers from them, right around the time a relative bought me a subscription to Family Handyman magazine. They sent me so much junk mail that I was afraid to encourage them by replying to any of it. :\ |
Junk, IMHO. However, my brother likes it---or did several years ago. |
I like it, my tester was a smaller item but the mag is worth the money. |

I have been a member for a number of years. I like the magazine. It is worth the $12. It is not as detailed as some magazines and I can usually get through it quite quickly. An easy, enjoyable read. On the testing side - It makes sense for them to start out sending you small items. They can judge how you do in your evaluation to determine if they want to send more. It would be foolish to send out products with a price tag in the thousands to someone that you don't even know if they will actually respond back or even give a proper evaluation. I did receive a couple of tiny things to test. And I did as I was instructed and wrote what I thought of the products, good and bad. It has probably been over two years now and I have not been invited back to test. It was kind of fun. I don't know if they didn't like my evaluations or my name fell off of their tester list. |

Hey there Poohbear 2767, I checked the little box to Join their club... Then I got a bill for $349... I swear I got a letter that said they were giving me a complimentary lifetime membership... I must have read it wrong or they pulled a fast one... I refused to pay for it and now I have a mark on my credit... and I NEVER received anything to test! Trying to contact their "Customer Service" is a real joy! Sorry, but I feel I have been wronged! |

THE pedestrian overpass at the Henty Hwy (ring road) has taken shape with all 10 beams in place.
VicRoads' contractor Cut and Fill lifted the final three beams into place on the eight metre high overpass on Sunday.
Two cranes were used to lift the largest beam at 65 tonnes across the road and railway line, onto the already prepared bridge piers.

I've always been intrigued by them, but never saw one for sale. I'm in Maryland, zone 7A. Looking to buy/build in the next year though and could end up in zone 6B or 7A in this general region...so let's say I'm looking for anything hardy to zone 6B. Soils are generally fairly acid already, from about 4.8pH to around a max of 6. Mostly silty clay loam or somewhere in that range. What are some good deciduous azaleas for this area? I've seen mostly species deciduous azaleas for sale from places like Mail Order Natives, a couple hybrids from Greer Gardens...any other good sources? Which ones have good bloom and good fall color too that would do well for me? Thanks! |

Fairweather Garden in NJ, Whitney Gardens in WA, Rarefind Nursery in NJ. Many others as well. Just Google "deciduous azaleas for sale," There is a vast number of hybrids and species, including nearly all the native North American ones, that should do just fine in your area. |
Deciduous azaleas are well known for their bright colors and cold hardiness. However what is less well known is that some get mildew on the leaves around mid season. Here are some that do well in SE Pennsylvania and should do well for you. Listed is (series), height in 10 years, cold hardiness, etc. Candy Lights (Northern Lights) 5', -35F. Fragrant, Mildew Resistant. Note, Klondyke is not listed as mildew resistant, but mine seldom gets mildew and we have morning dew just about every day as you probably do also. |

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Here we're going to focus in on another blur effect. This one is a lot of fun. It's called Tilt-Shift. And it has its roots in traditional photography whether working with a large format camera or specific lens, yet now it shows up everywhere in camera phone apps and also in Photoshop. So to start off with this technique let's duplicate our Background layer. This time let's do so by clicking-and-dragging it to the New layer icon and then double-click in the layer name, and let's name this layer blur. Next, we'll go to our good old Filter pulldown menu and then choose Blur and then select Tilt-Shift.
What Tilt-Shift allows us to do is to dial in blur or focus into specific areas. Currently, you can see we have one adjustment here on the image, you'll notice that it has a similar icon allowing me to increase or decrease the overall blur effect in the background. I'm going to increase it for a moment for demonstration purposes. Well, here if I hover over these lines you can see how it's changing the reach of this blur, I can either make that more compact, less of a transition, or click-and-drag to increase that.
I can also click on this icon here in order to rotate the blur or to stretch this out so that I have more out of focus in the foreground here and less and then more in focus in the background. So we can use these little icons to really customize the way that this blur is going to affect our image. Over in the panel you'll notice we have some controls. We have controls which allow us to change the distortion of the blur area; you can see how that's modifying the overall shape. If you look at the street down here in particular you can see how it's changing that area and a lot of times when things become blurry, or they have some sort of distortion, the more the blur the more of the distortion the less you can see how it will remove that.
So as you work with these controls just know that these two while they work in unison with each other. But what might we like to do with a photograph like this? Well, what I want to do is I want to create a little slice of focus which is really targeting this car here, this taxi in London that I captured. And I captured this while I was riding around in one of those buses where you can sit on top of the bus; I just like the graphic nature of this picture. So I'm just going to dial this in here and then decrease that Blur amount, I don't want to be quite so strong.
Then I also want to try to create a little bit more of a transition here. So I'm just going to look to try to get this in this spot where I like it so our focus is really leading into that car and by changing these controls you can see again that we're changing really the mood and expression in this photograph. Press the H key to hide all of those controls and/or you can also click on the Preview button to look at your before and then after. Now you can also add more than one point here. I could click over here on the right side of the image and then go ahead and rotate this if I want to create a little bit of focus on the side of the picture.
So in doing that you can see how we can control this little area of focus. You can see now that this is cutting through that other area so that what I have is I have the slice of focus perhaps which is coming down towards this pedestrian over here. So now I have focus which is almost taking on the shape. It goes across the image and then up towards the top. Well with this photograph I don't think that really works, but it is interesting to see how you can set all of these different points. To delete a point which you've added, we'll, just press Delete or Backspace and it will then remove that.
Once you've dialed in the exact effect how you want it, the next step is to click OK that will then apply or render this effect to your layer and here we have it before and then after. We've now successfully added this really intriguing Tilt-Shift blur effect.

2013 AMAs: Lady Gaga and R. Kelly Get Down in the Oval Office
And her "Do What U Want" performance was no less show-stopping.
Gaga went retro steamy channeling a breathless Marilyn Monroe (a la "Happy Birthday") complete with glittering dress and R. Kelly as Mr. President.
Like how only an over-the-top Gaga can do, her excited Monica Lewinsky-esque intern persona came on to the Kelly's faux commander-in-chief by writhing on his White House desk. We especially liked Kelly's wandering eye (right up Gaga's barely-there skirt), all while casually holding a cigar in shades and sporting un-president-like leather jogging pants (Kanye would be so proud.)
Watch all the sexiness in the video above. Lyrics for the song are now on Directlyrics.
