Need your fix of caffeine? Well, caffeine is coming to the Cracker Jack Box.
Frito-Lay plans to introduce a line of Cracker Jack by the end of the year that features coffee.
The new line is to be called "Cracker Jack'd" containing snack mixes, popcorn clusters, and "power bites" wafers.
Frito-Lay says the snacks will be labeled as containing coffee and caffeine and will be marketed to adults only.

Steve Rosenbloom is the columnist who wrote this piece in the Chicago Tribune. He claims the Nets are stupid because they gave up a lead to an starless Chicago Bulls team and some other reasons even though Chicago displays the same kind of mental mistakes.
"The Bulls defended and rebounded against the Nets, and waited for the Nets to do dumb things. And the Nets did them.
Such as blowing a 16-point lead at home the last time the teams played. Such as allowing Nazr Mohammed to block Brook Lopez down the stretch. Such as choking against a Bulls team missing Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson, Marco Belinelli, Richard Hamilton and, of course, Rose.
There was one double-digit result in the series, and the Bulls took that one --- after the Nets blew an 11-point lead. See what I'm saying?
The Nets might not be Sacramento Kings-like dumb, but when the Nets turn stupid, they usually stay stupid."
I laugh at this article because there is no way Rosenbloom could have used any logic to come up with this. It is strictly attention driven and maybe just a way to make himself or Chicago Bulls fans feel like they have a fighting chance without Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah.
Noah says he had a setback. His foot is killing him. Sounds very doubtful for tomorrow and the next few days.
— Nick Friedell (@NickFriedell) April 19, 2013
The Nets are heavily favored now and it will be an failed season if they do not win the series. I would go as far as to say they should sweep the Bulls or at least close the series in five games. They would have time to prepare for the Miami Heat.
Joe Johnson thinks they can beat the heat and Reggie Evans says Brook Lopez is unstoppable.
"Brook is a whole different person right now," Evans said. "Can't nobody stop him. The only person that can stop Brook is Brook. That's it. Brook is a beast right now. Brook is on a mission right nowThe Nets seem confident and they should be with their first successful season together. Evans does have an point with Lopez. The Bulls have no one to slow him down and they should take advantage. It's time for the Nets to stop talking and win.
"Brook is ready to step up to the plate where if they mention big men, they mention his name," Evans said. "We can go to him at the end of the game. What big man can you really say you can go to at the end of the game and get a bucket from with confidence? Even if he misses and gets fouled, what big man can you have confidence in like, 'You know what, I'm going to relax on the free throw line. He's going to hit this."

Respect and courtesy for others are an essential part of living in a community. Residents should respect each other's rights to an atmosphere conducive to studying and sleeping. The University expects residents to decrease the volume of any noise disturbing other residents when asked by either residents or staff. Fines or warnings may be issued.Quiet HoursIn order to allow the residents time for study, sleep and prayer, quiet hours are posted in each hall. Residents and guests must abide by the quiet hours throughout the buildings, as well as in areas surrounding the residence halls. Campus quiet hours are as follows:
Courtesy HoursResidents are asked to comply with any request to decrease the volume of any noise at any time. The Residence Life staff may determine that an activity is not permitted.Extended Quiet Hours Extended quiet hours are to be observed from the last day of class through the last final exam in order to promote studying. The Residence Life Staff will post exceptions to this policy.
A visitor (including residents of other halls and students who live off-campus) is defined as any non-resident of that hall who is visiting a resident of that hall. Visitors must be admitted to the hall by a resident of that hall. Visitors of the opposite sex must be escorted and announced ("Man/Woman in the Hall") as they walk down the hall. Members of the opposite sex are not permitted to loiter in the halls of any building (including the corridors of Bonaventure, Vianney, Scotus and Padua Halls. All visitors of the opposite sex must be directly escorted to a common area. A parent or legal guardian must accompany children under the age of 12 at all times.
A guest is defined as any non-resident (of your resident hall) who is staying overnight. All guests must be registered with the Residence Life staff and are responsible for abiding by the same policies as the resident. Guest Housing Forms for guest housing can be obtained at the RA office of each residence hall. No children under the age of 12 will be allowed to be overnight guests in the residence halls.

Residents may visit at other times in the designated com¬mon areas of each hall.
The hours for visiting with the opposite sex in residence hall lounges, common rooms and kitchens are as follows:
Visiting outside of these specified hours, or inside a student room behind a closed door is considered a violation of the Student Code.

Johnstown Chiefs Announce Relocation
I don't generally follow the Johnstown Chiefs of the ECHL on Faceoff-Factor simply because I barely have enough time to keep up with the Penguins and NHL the way I would like to.
But, this afternoon, I bring sad news to any hockey enthusiast of Western Pennsylvania.
The following is a press release announcing that the only remaining original ECHL franchise will relocate to South Carolina effective at the end of this season.
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – The Johnstown Chiefs, with mixed emotions, announced today that they are seeking permission from the ECHL to relocate to Greenville, South Carolina for the 2010-11 hockey season. The Chiefs have also commenced negotiations with the Bi-Lo Center in Greenville to play in that facility.
The decision to explore relocation opportunities was reached solely because of economic concerns. Entering last Sunday's home game against Cincinnati, average attendance for the 2009-10 season was below 2,000 fans per game. With the difficulties the organization endured over the 2008-09 season, financial losses reached six-figure levels by the time the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2009. Those losses were sustained with attendance averaging slightly over 2,200.
The Chiefs' ownership has been, and will continue to be, willing to assist any potential ownership group that would keep professional hockey in Johnstown at the Cambria County War Memorial Arena.
The Chiefs have been privileged to call Johnstown their home since 1988. The support from season ticket holders and the Chiefs Fan Club has been wholeheartedly appreciated. Because of it Johnstown will always have a special place in the history and tradition of minor league hockey in North America.
The Chiefs look forward to completing their current season at the UPMC Health Plan Ice Rink at the Cambria County War Memorial, and are thankful for the support from their fan base.
I grew up a Chiefs fan. They're how I got into hockey, actually.
When I was just six years old, a neighbor had extra tickets and offered to take me to a game. I've been hooked ever since.
It pains me to see the team leave, as I spent a good portion of my youth sitting in section 13 of the War Memorial Arena, where my family held season tickets for six years.
But I also understand the business side of minor league hockey, and to be honest, the Chiefs have been doomed for years.
The team has been average, attendance has been poor, and the arena is terrible.
Fans simply have/ahd no interest in spending $14 per ticket to see a sub-par team take the ice in a sub-par arena. And I can't blame them.
Even so, losing the Chiefs is yet another blow to a city that just can't catch a break.

She's tired of being overlooked for awards consideration and Troian Bellisario isn't going to take it anymore.
The "Pretty Little Liars" babe hopes that the powers that be at the Emmy Awards will open their hearts to her hit ABC show this season and she's written a guest column in The Hollywood Reporter to that effect.
Though it's not exactly surprising, the GQ team did a little digital retouching for their recent feature article on the stars of "Pretty Little Liars."
And Troian Bellisario weighed in on the matter in a lengthy post to her Instagram account, including un-doctored photos of her body during the shoot.
As the hottest ensemble of television starlets around, the stars of "Pretty Little Liars" know how to have a good time while looking positively drool-worthy.
Tying up some loose ends in the Big Apple, Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson and Shay Mitchell checked out of their hotel in Soho on Wednesday (March 19).
Ahead of their giant season finale, the girls of "Pretty Little Liars" gathered together for a screening of the last episode in New York City on Tuesday (March 18).
Looking stunning as always, Ashley Benson strolled the red carpet in a black and white tuxedo-inspired ensemble while posing with her co-star and "date" for the night Shay Mitchell, who wowed in a black lace number.
They have the most-tweeted-about show of all time, and the cast members of "Pretty Little Liars" had a blast on "Good Morning America" today (March 18).
Hitting up the "ultimate fan festival" in Los Angeles, the stars of "Pretty Little Liars" were on hand for 2014 PaleyFest on Sunday (March 16).
Making a flashy entrance, the buff blondie, Ashley Benson threw her sexy smile toward the cameras, and the stunning Troian Bellisario showed up with her brunette locks down about her face, shining before making her way in.
Embarking on the next step in their relationship, Troian Bellisario is now engaged to Patrick J. Adams.
The "Pretty Little Liars" star met her "Suits" fiancée on the set of a play in 2009 and have been dating ever since.

The problem is that even the most experienced shavers forget that the cartridges have a relatively short lifespan of roughly two weeks. Using a blade past its expiration date can wreak havoc on your face by unevenly ripping hairs out of the follicle and leaving burned, bleeding skin in its wake. A healthy blade should glide along the face and cut with painless precision. Fortunately, today's best razors have an indicator strip at the top that lets you know when its day of reckoning is near.

The calls for thorough reform and change at the BBC, which have been often repeated in the past few weeks, not least by the chairman of the BBC's own governing trust, Lord Chris Patten, are frequent and alarming in their imprecision. Part of what makes journalism good is accountability; part of what makes it fail is clouded judgment and ill-judged reactions to external pressures. Creating a culture that supports both within a newsroom is not something easily imposed from outside. It requires not just the articulation of a vision but also its rigorous daily application in practice. Good journalists and great news organizations make occasional mistakes.
The original error from the point of view of the original scandal was the decision of a news program not to run what now seems a good story. The critical and fatal error was to run a story the BBC should never have allowed on air.
Breaking a big story is like pulling the pin on a grenade. It takes judgment and courage, or stupidity, to toss significant facts into the public domain. Until it detonates, its collateral damage is unknowable—and once it does, the consequences are unpredictable. Editors are paid almost entirely for knowing when to pull the pin and what to do at the point of impact. Big stories that are mishandled have terrible consequences for peoples' lives, and we see this played out in the aftermath of the Savile affair. Nowhere is more keenly aware of this than the news department of the BBC. To understand the BBC's journalistic reflex, the culture and atmosphere of enterprise reporting at the corporation, one must really understand what happened during the summer of 2003—a far bigger crisis, with much more serious consequences.
That May, BBC journalist Andrew Gilligan went on the air on the Radio 4 morning program Today to discuss allegations he had from a source that the UK Government had inflated claims about the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in order to justify the March 2003 invasion of the country. The allegation was repeated twice more by other BBC journalists in subsequent days.
Who was the source of the story? Speculation was rife among journalists and was allegedly fed by briefings from government. This led to the outing of a respected government scientist, Dr. David Kelly. Kelly was a weapons expert and someone who often briefed journalists, although on this occasion not with direct authority.
At a foreign affairs Parliamentary select committee meeting in a sweltering room on July 15, 2003, Kelly was grilled by members of Parliament in a hearing that was broadcast live. The transcript makes for uncomfortable reading—two days later, on July 17, Kelly went on a short walk from his home into nearby woods and took his own life. For those who covered the story, it is unlikely they will ever forget hearing the first report of Kelly's death.
The subsequent inquiry into the suicide of David Kelly, led by Lord Brian Hutton, cleared the government of wrongdoing and underhanded tactics in revealing the source and heavily criticized the BBC's "defective" editorial processes. For many at the BBC, and for some of us who had closely observed and reported the events, the complete exoneration of the government seemed breathtaking, but the immediate and lasting effect was to immortalize the BBC's culpability in journalism and process.
The Hutton Inquiry resulted in the resignation of BBC director general Greg Dyke and chairman Gavyn Davies, a major reshuffle in its news department, and a cloud that has shadowed its journalism since. Mark Thompson was the man brought in to steady the ship, and part of his reshuffle of the BBC's news and current affairs division saw the rise of a more risk-averse approach. Ironically, some of the most able journalists at the BBC at the time, including head of news Richard Sambrook and deputy head of news Mark Damazer, are no longer at the Corporation. The oral history of firestorms, mistakes made, and lessons learned is a really vital part of institutional strength in news. When those who hold it leave, you lose something elemental about your culture.

Lem Barney: Football will be gone in 20 years It's off season and this may be an extreme viewpoint but with the threads about Goodell wanting to eliminate kickoffs and the myriad rule changes ongoing and as we learn more about the science of concussions, I would not take the bet against this. Then I'll probably not be here in 20 years.
My opinion would be, the NFL will change the rules as it deems necessary to continue the cash cow in any way possible. This will continue long, long after Lem Barney is dust in the wind.
i could see more and more studies coming out talking about brain damage ect that could kill the sport in 20 years..but it's such a big $$ maker..who knows
May I suggest extreme lingerie football as one possibility? NFL is a $10B industry. Folks need note that relatively bigger industries have vanished in similar 2 decade timeframes.
I bet Goofball will still be around though, going down with the ship like Captain Smith. Football needs Federal legislation that limits liability. It's that simple. Goofball should use his energies there, instead of turning this sport into touch football.
lol there is about .5% chance this happens. There are far more dangerous, and far far less profitable organizations that the NFL and NCAA. This simply wont happen.
It won't be the NFL getting sued that'll make football go away. It'll be a bottom up thing from parents not letting their kids play in school, and schools and Pee Wee/Pop Warner leagues dropping football (or going flag-only) because they won't be able to afford the liability insurance premiums otherwise. Especially when/if more data rolls in (as it appears to be starting to) about the long-term effects of concussions and repeated sub-concussive blows on teens and pre-teens.
I love football and played at a very high level through college. I did have 3 or 4 concussions and have memory loss from two of them where it was as if I woke up sometime later and don't remember what happened. My son who would have easily been playing in college if he took up football, was never that interested and I never brought it up ever. If I had said to him that he should play he would have. He mentioned playing a few times but I never responded. Didn't tell him no but I didn't say that's a good idea either. Whats my point? There will be no middle class or above playing football and it will just be the poor. There will be enough players as long as they don't expand the league. Someone is going to die in the game soon. The players are just too fast and too strong and the consistency of a brain is the same if you are 100lbs or 350. Look at boxing which is another sport I loved. In the 60s-80s it was huge. Can you even name a current boxer now?
This article doesn't make the boxing analogy but some do (in fact, it was made right above this post while i was typing!!). It's a terrible analogy though, because boxing's demise can be tied to integration when black athletes were able to earn money in sports that didn't involve punching each other until their heads burst. There's no imaginable event that can change the landscape of American sports the way that integration did. Federal legislation to limit liability is one of those things that would be just heinous. There are lots of jobs that do require massive sacrifices on the parts of their workers. Miners, construction workers, etc. Even jobs that require mental sacrifices (dentists with high suicide rates, lawyers work 90 hour weeks and burn out)... the key is compensating people for their work, making sure the work environment is as safe as possible (as the NFL has attempted to do), and having in place a retirement system where injured workers are not forcing themselves to go back to work to earn wages at the risk of their future quality of life. This means pensions, disability, medical coverage (not just for those who are eligible for Medicare), and workforce retraining. That said, I would also be extremely hesitant about allowing my children to play football.
this is horrible...you mean someone may even die soon??? that's it...OUTLAW the NFL immediately!!!..."...hic...hey buddy, you got a light???...thansk pal...hey barkeep, what's the damages???...8 Buds?...hey wait a minute, I only had six...wasshatalkinaboud, man....wheresh my keys?..i gotta get outta here fast...." peopel smoke and drink to the tune of a million + deaths a year...I don't see anyone outlawing the tobacco or liquor industries...playing NFL football is a conscious choice...every player knows the pros and cons...the league will disappear when people put more value on their health than making millions of dollars...which means ,most likely, never....
I guy I work with son is paralyzed from high school football. I love football but I don't want my son playing. I don't have a problem if you do or you let your kid. It is not a choice I would make. Whitworth will pay for funeral of boy who died from football injuries | ProFootballTalk This will happen in an NFL game. No one knows how the public will react. It happened in 60 and 63. There was not 7x24 tv back then.
I would never want ANY of my family to play NFL football...that wasn't my point....if you can't see that, I won't belabor my point because it's far down the list of things that are important to me as a Pats fan.
The thing is it's not just NFL, its college, high school pop warner etc… take a look at the top high school prospects and then check the NFL drafts 3 – 5 years out and you will see many/most wash out. Many owing to injuries. I had my worst concussion in high school not college. If I run a school district I am not sure football would be a priority.
well, maybe the soccer moms will finally get the break they been looking for since the 80's. Dry up the developmental river and the game will strangle itself out of existence. Outlawing it is preposterous.
Simply put, the game will eventually—and more likely sooner rather than later—have to change. I disagree with the idea that waivers are a good idea; you're just passing the buck to young players who may or may not be able to make educated decisions about their future.
He's right about eliminating the helmets-at least the hard shell missiles they have today. There was one soft shell model that kind of deteriorated, but you can't tell me a concerted effort or competition to make a soft shell helmet wouldn't bear fruit. Nobody's going to tackle helmet first in a soft helmet, not repeatedly anyway.
Football is simply too profitable, even at a high-school level. It will adapt to public demand instead of dying out.
Not being an American, but wasn't the soft helmets they used in the 50's/60's (?) replaced because hard helmets provided better comfort (and protection) ? I do agree with the sentiment, however, Unfortunately I think it will not happen ...
In 20 years, players will be playing with their own personalize force field like they have on Star Trek. Well probably not that advanced, but I assume the sports technology in 20 years will be that they have equipment that can eliminate concussions in football or reduce to very, very few. I assume at some point in the next ten years or so that the sports equipment will outpace the injuries caused by the sport and there will minimum risk for serious injuries that could be life changing like what we see from concussions in the NFL. When that point is reached, I expect the rules to start to lax on hitting.

Am I the only one experiencing this today? Did Google change the way they're counting impressions? My server logs don't show a big increase in traffic.
I thought someone had stolen my pub id. How does Google determine if someone else is using your Google ID on their site, by the way.
You're hijacking this thread, but try Adsense Setup, Allowed Sites. Use with caution since there is a big downside to certain settings.
Oh wait a minute. Could it be that they track impressions for each ad instead of just page impressions (where it would count as once if you have two ad blocks)?
It started March 25th 1 pm Google time.
Impressions since 1 pm until now about 2,8 times higher than expected.
But when I add together the channel report for all my domains, I have exactly the expected page impressions.
Let's check this.
Traffic beetween 1pm and 10:30pm is 2.82 times higher than Tuesday same time period.
Until this happened, traffic was 0,9 times the traffic from Tuesday same time period
With this caldulated 1 pm to 10:30 pm 3,14 times expected page impressions
Most pages have 2 ad blocks 2 AdLinks
a few pages one more ad block
Would be interesting to compare this with sites having only 1 or 2 ads per page.
wast of time, if i came here first.
I have double impressions to.
How many AdSense ads do You have in average on a page?
See my posting aboove
I have 1 or 2 blocks in a single page 1 adlink site wide in all pages
As mentioned in this discussion, I have usual 2 ad blocks 2 AdLinks per page, on some pages one ad block more in the content area.
My usual difference between
page impressions : ad block impressions is 1:3.8
My yesterday past 1 pm and my todays stats match very good with this 1:3.8
I noticed a hint of this problem before going to bed (it figures it would happen on a day when I had actually made a number of changes with my site).
I looked at my stats this morning. Impressions up by about half (although Google Analytics showed that page impressions were acutally down about 5% for the same day).
CTR was down accordingly. The money was the same as usual.
Like others here, I thought maybe someone had stolen my page code and didn't strip out the Adsense. Hesitantly I instituted the "Allowed Sites" option. After reading here that others had the same problem (the problem wasn't just my site) I reversed the "Allowed Sites" option back to my original setting (allow any site to show my adsense) for fear of problems associated with this option.
My metrics are completely normal, no spikes, nothing unusual whatsoever.
This will be an exciting year - will there be even one week without some sort of a Google mess up?
How many ads on one page in average?
47,147 views on Tuesday, 61,099 views on Wednesday. Revenue, exactly .05 cents less.
I have culled AdSense ads from my site in favor of other ad networks (more money), so this is interesting.
AdSense algo team seems to constantly manipulate things behind the scenes.

Chapter 10: Personalizing Ubuntu: Getting Everything Just Right
If you've read this book from Chapter 1, by this stage, you no doubt have become comfortable with Ubuntu. You've started to realize its advantages and are on the way to making it your operating system of choice.
Beginning Ubuntu Linux: From Novice to Professional by Keir Thomas
Apress, March 2006
4608 pages
That's what this chapter is all about. We look at personalizing Ubuntu so that you're completely happy with your user experience.
Ubuntu is similar to Windows in many ways, but the developers behind it introduced improvements and tweaks that many claim make the software easier to use. For example, Ubuntu offers multiple virtual desktops—long considered a very useful user-interface feature that seems to have passed Microsoft by. It also moves the programs menu to the top of the screen, leaving the whole width of the screen at the bottom to display taskbar buttons. This is very sensible, because the buttons don't look cramped when more than a handful of applications are open. However, if you're not satisfied with Ubuntu's out-of-the-box look and feel, you can change it.
You might be used to changing the desktop colors or wallpaper under Windows, but Ubuntu goes to extremes and lets you alter the look and feel of the entire desktop. Everything from the styling of the program windows to the desktop icons can be altered quickly and easily.
Ubuntu refers to the look of the desktop as a theme. Because it's built on the GNOME desktop, Ubuntu allows you to radically personalize your desktop theme. Several different themes come with the distribution, and you can download many more themes. Each lets you change the way the windows look, including the buttons and the icon set (although some themes come without additional icons).
However, unlike Windows themes, most GNOME themes don't change the fonts used on the desktop, and the wallpaper and color scheme will probably remain broadly the same. You can change these manually, as described in the "Setting Font Preferences" and "Changing the Wallpaper" sections a bit later in this chapter.
To alter the theme, select System→Preferences→Theme. Then it's simply a matter of choosing a theme from the list in the Theme Preferences dialog box, as shown in Figure 1. A useful hint is to open a Nautilus file browser window in the background (Places→Desktop), so you can see how the changes will affect a typical window.
Note: The default Ubuntu theme is called Human and is designed to represent the skin tones of the world's population. This is intended to reflect Ubuntu's mission of being accessible to everyone, no matter where or who they are.
My favorite themes are Clearlooks and Mist, largely because they're simple and uncomplicated. Remember that you'll be working with the theme on a daily basis, so it should be practical and not too distracting. Those miniature close, minimize, and maximize buttons might look stylish, but they're useless if they're so small that you can't reliably click them with your mouse.
As well as changing the overall theme, you can also modify individual theme components, and even download more theme components.
You can alter the three aspects that constitute a GNOME theme: the controls (sometimes known as widgets), the window borders, and the icons. Controls are simply the elements you click within dialog boxes and windows: buttons, scroll bars, and so on. The window borders are, as seems obvious, the borders of program windows and dialog boxes, with particular attention paid to the top of the window, where the program name appears along with the minimize, maximize, and close buttons.
Note: To make matters a little confusing, some window borders have their own selection of close, minimize, and maximize controls, which can't be overridden with individual selections for controls.
To make changes to a theme, click the Theme Details button in the Theme Preferences dialog box (Figure 1), and then click each tab to see your choices, as shown in Figure 2. Unfortunately, there are no thumbnail previews of each style, but as soon as you click each option, it will be automatically applied to the currently open windows. To preview the effects fully, the best policy is to keep a Nautilus window open (Places→Desktop).
When you've made your choices, you can save the theme for further use. Simply click the Save Theme button in the Theme Preferences dialog box. You'll need to give the theme a name and, if you wish, a short description for future reference. If you don't save the theme, as soon as you select another one, the changes you made will be lost.

The configuration editor is there, you just need to add it to the menu bar. I believe if you go to the menu and click add, you will be able to select it.
Ubuntu Rocks. Who Needs Windows Vista
Windows Vista is going to launch pretty soon, but I am definitely not excited about that. Who want to pay extra hundreds dollars when you can get ubuntu for free and more stable operating system?
ugh...not vista
well, im glad im not the only one who thinks like that!
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

The 1961 Fire was One of the Worst Hospital Fires in American History and Changed Hospital Building Codes Nationwide
Premieres Thursday, January 26 at 8:30 p.m. on Connecticut Public Television (CPTV); Encore broadcast on Sunday, January 29 at 6 p.m.
On December 8, 1961, a devastating fire engulfed the ninth floor of Hartford Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut. Started by discarded cigarette ash dropped down a trash chute, the fire took the lives of sixteen individuals – including patients, visitors, nurses, employees and one physician – and changed fire codes and building regulations for hospitals nationwide.
The Hartford Hospital Fire: Inferno on the 9th Floor, premiering Thursday, January 26 at 8:30 p.m. on Connecticut Public Television (CPTV) with an encore broadcast on Sunday, January 29 at 6 p.m., is a new documentary that tells the harrowing story of that day through the eyes of the people who survived it. Through interviews and archival photos and footage, the documentary – created to commemorate the event's 50th anniversary – reveals step-by-step the collision of unfortunate events that led to one of the worst hospital fires in American history.
Written and produced by Rebecca Stewart of Hartford Hospital, the half-hour program explains how cigarette ash dropped down a trash chute exploded into a fiery missile that ignited the entire floor. A rolling black cloud of smoke engulfed the hallways within seconds, and people ran for their lives or tried their best to barricade themselves behind doors.
Bob Maher, a male aide at Hartford Hospital in 1961, tells the heartbreaking story of how he could hear a woman screaming for help on the other side of a fire door. When he opened it to help her, the raging flames licked up his face burning his hair and eyebrows. With the fire so severe, all he could do was quickly close the door again and try to lead her to the door with his voice. She never made it to safety.
Firefighters arrived on the scene in minutes, but a serious problem soon arose. Their ladders couldn't reach the ninth floor. They extended the ladders as high as possible – almost completely vertical – but they still remained a few feet short. Firefighter Richard "Dick" Trejarian, in full turnout gear, climbed to the very top of the ladder – nearly 100 feet into their air – and poised himself below an open broken window.
Former firefighter Frank Droney described what happened next. "Dick Trejarian actually jumped from the top of the ladder to the window." Trejarian's feet dangled free before he could pull himself up through the window. Droney continued, "Then he pulled [another firefighter] in. They secured all the doors and ensured that people stayed in their rooms; told them what to do [and how to use] wet towels along the bottom of the doors. If it wasn't for Dick, there would have been a lot more people dead."
If anything positive came from the devastation and lost lives of the Hartford Hospital fire, important fire safety lessons were learned that day that helped influence building codes in hospitals around the country. Smoking in hospitals and the use of trash chutes were immediately banned after the fire. Doors in hospitals are now required to use safer positive latches instead of rolling latches which allowed the pressure from fires to push doors open. Building materials such as wallpaper and ceiling tiles must now be made of fire-retardant materials. Sprinkler systems, fire escapes and fire drills are also all mandatory today.

Last Public Address Of Lieutenant General Joseph Smith
June 18th, 1844 - Unsheathing his sword the Prophet Joseph Smith said: "I call God and angels to witness that I have unsheathed my sword with a firm and unalterable determination that this people shall have their legal rights, and be protected from mob violence, or my blood shall be spilt upon the ground like water, and my body consigned to the silent tomb, but if there is one drop of blood shed on this occasion, the sword shall never again be sheathed until Christ comes to reign on earth.
While I live, I will never tamely submit to the dominion of cursed mobocracy. I would welcome death rather than submit to this oppression; and it would be sweet, oh, sweet, to rest in the grave rather than submit to this oppression, agitation, annoyance, confusion, and alarm upon alarm, any longer.
I call upon all friends of truth and liberty to come to our assistance; and may the thunders of the Almighty and the forked lightnings of heaven and pestilence, and war and bloodshed come down on those ungodly men who seek to destroy my life and the lives of this innocent people.
I do not regard my own life. I am ready to be offered a sacrifice for this people; for what can our enemies do? Only kill the body, and their power is then at an end. Stand firm, my friends; never flinch. Do not seek to save your lives, for he that is afraid to die for the truth, will lose eternal life. Hold out to the end, and we shall be resurrected and become like Gods, and reign in celestial kingdoms, principalities, and eternal dominions, while this cursed mob will sink to hell, the portion of all those who shed innocent blood.
God has tried you. You are a good people; therefore I love you with all my heart. Greater love hath no man than that he should lay down his life for his friends. You have stood by me in the hour of trouble, and I am willing to sacrifice my life for your preservation.
May the Lord God of Israel bless you for ever and ever. I say it in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, and in the authority of the Holy Priesthood, which He hath conferred upon me."
(The people said "Amen.") HC Volume 6 page 500
Joseph Bates Noble-Sword of Testimony
Emma Smith in remembrance of her loving husband took the head coffin of Joseph's oak rescue casket and had made 12 canes representing the 12 Tribes of Israel, and she gave one cane to each of 12 upstanding individuals. Joseph Bates Noble was one of those upstanding individuals. The Noble family has had possession of one of these precious canes which has now been allowed to be shared with the world.
The Joseph Bates Noble 1872 Family Bible has inside of it two locks of hair. One lock is from Joseph Smith and the other from his brother Hyrum. These have only been available to show publicly for a few months. Also in that Bible are original photographs of Erastus Snow, Orson Pratt, President John Taylor and many others. This amazing relic reminds us all of the importance of God and Family.
A body guard named Joseph Bates Noble was with the Prophet Joseph Smith as he made his way towards Carthage. Several miles out of Nauvoo the Prophet gave Major Noble his personal Legion Sword as a token of their friendship. This legion sword has been hidden away for 165 years spending most of its time in an old home in West Bountiful, Utah. It has been handed down from father-to-son in the Noble family for a special purpose in sharing a testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith, and Joseph Bates Noble a defender, Bishop, friend, and body guard to The Prophet.
Joseph Bates Noble served as a foot soldier in Zion's Camp, defended the church in Missouri, ranked as a Major in the Nauvoo Legion and key figure along with his friend, Porter Rockwell, in rescuing the bodies of Hyrum and Joseph Smith. The wonderful book "Keeper of the Prophet's Sword"by Howard Carlos Smith, contains new details on the rescue.
Joseph Bates Noble was invited by the Prophet to attend a conference on 28 Feb. 1835. To his surprise he was called to be a General Authority in the First Quorum of Seventy, some say he was third on the list. He held many other important positions in the church. He served as Bishop in the Nauvoo 5th Ward and the Smith family attended his ward. Later on in life Joseph Bates Noble served as a Stake Patriarch. Brother Noble conducted the first plural marriage in the Church by marrying his sister-in-law, Louisa Beman, to the Prophet Joseph Smith.
These and many other amazing truths about Joseph Bates Noble, the Prophet Joseph Smith, and LDS Church History are shared on our website called, "Keeper of the Prophet's Sword. This website is dedicated to sharing the Sword of the Prophet as it continues in witnessing in these latter days that God lives, Jesus is the Christ, and Joseph Smith is, and was a Prophet of the Living God!

"He Lived Great and He Died Great"
"Joseph Smith gave his life for the cause of truth. We sometimes think that dying for a cause is the purest display of devotion, but living for something is usually much more demanding. Joseph Smith did both. He wore out his life in God's service, suffering derision and violence for the things he believed. He did not die in public with the sympathy of the world; he was shot by a mob while he was locked in a jail on false charges.
He showed his devotion to God in life and in death. It was said of him, "he lived great, and he died great in the eyes of God and his people; and . . . has sealed his mission and his works with his own blood" (D&C 135:3) Quote from mormon.org

Rose Carpenter, 93, started Carpenter's Older English Greenhouse and Florist 63 years ago with her late husband John Carpenter. She still runs the florist section of the business every day. (Morrill/Democrat photo)
NEWMARKET — In 1947 John and Rose Carpenter built their first house on Main Street in Newmarket directly across from Newmarket Junior Senior High School.Three years later, John and Rose built a small hobby greenhouse and flower shop on the side of their new house. While they both had primary jobs — John as a carpenter and Rose as a millworker — they loved growing plants and figured they could sell them.Then, around 1953, the married couple abandoned their primary jobs to work at the greenhouse and flower shop full time. They named it Carpenter's Olde English Greenhouse and Florist. Now, over 60 years after John and Rose Carpenter started the greenhouse and flower shop, their son Rob — who managed the shop for the past 28 years — has sold the business and the 15 acres of land that it stands on to the town of Newmarket which will build a new school on the land if voters approve of the multimillion dollar price tag.It's hard to sell plants and flowers these days. "It's a domino effect. With the economy and the price of oil a lot of the little guys who I sold to folded," said Rob Carpenter.
Morrill/Democrat photo Rob Carpenter has been in charge of his family's business for the past 28 years. He expects the going out of business sale to last until August.
Morrill/Democrat photo Carpenter's Older English Greenhouse and Florist stands directly across Main Street from Newmarket High School. In 2012 the town voted to buy the business to expand the aging school.
In 1953 the couple quit their other jobs and the greenhouse became their bread and butter. Now, decades later, the business has become a staple in the small town of Newmarket, which now has a little more than 8,000 people."There are a lot of people in town who my mother has made their prom flowers, wedding flowers, and funeral flowers," said Rob Carpenter.Many youngsters have walked across the street from Newmarket Junior Senior High School to work at the greenhouse when school got out. "Quite a few kids that went to Newmarket High School worked here over the years," he said. "I would easily say hundreds.""We rewrapped the batons at Newmarket High School's graduation for I don't know how long. We never charged for it," said Rob Carpenter. Despite the business' current popularity, Rob Carpenter said he initially wanted nothing to do with it. "I wanted to get as far away from it as I could," he said. "I went to college for food service management and went into hotel administration."However in 1976, while Rob Carpenter was in his final year of college, his father bought another greenhouse in Dover and put his son in charge.
Ten years after this, in 1985 John Carpenter sold the Dover greenhouse and put his son in charge of Carpenter's Olde English Greenhouse and Florist. It has remained that way ever since. John died in 2008 and Rose, who is 93, still manages the florist section to this day."It all started with a little greenhouse," said Rose.But it all ends this month. Sixty-three years after the first plant was sold, Carpenter's Olde English Greenhouse and Florist is shutting its doors because the economy is bad and because Newmarket Junior Senior High School is falling apart.For the past 10 years the business has been suffering. "The economy and the price of oil was probably the thing that killed us and that's how we heated the greenhouses," he said. Five years ago, he made the decision to not grow in the winter months because the cost of oil was too high."It used to be in a downward economy we would do pretty well because people would stay home and garden," said Rob Carpenter. "That's not the case anymore."
In March of 2012 voters in the town of Newmarket approved the purchase of Carpenter's Olde English Greenhouse and Florist (and two smaller properties next to it) as well as the last of the 15 acres of Carpenter family land that the business stands on. The town bought the land as a place for a new school but it remains unclear when and if a new school will be built. The current junior senior high school has sections that are nearly 100 years old and in need of repair. The town's fire chief called the school "a dump" at a School Board meeting and some classrooms have been shut down because of safety hazards pointed out by the state fire marshal.However, a new state-of-the-art school would cost millions of dollars and some Newmarket residents think the town should find a different solution, such as tuitioning students to Oyster River High School or just fixing what's wrong with the current high school.Despite the uncertainty, Rob Carpenter is happy with the sale. "Buying the property was just a very sensible thing for the town to do." He added, "I'm very glad that if we were to sell the land it's to the town."
When the going out of business sale is over, the Carpenter's have a year to vacate the building until the lease expires, at which point the town will likely tear down the historic building.In March Newmarket residents will likely be voting on a proposal to use the land in some way.As for who will wrap the batons used at Newmarket High School's graduation now that the 63-year-old greenhouse is going out of business, Rob Carpenter said: "I don't know, there are other florists." He said one thing was certain. "It's the end of an era."

I know what your thinking, salt is salt. That is what I use to think as well. As I have journeyed into the world of raw gourmet cuisine, I started to notice that a lot of recipes called for Celtic Sea Salt, not just plain ole salt. I decided it was time to delve into this new ingredient and see what all the hype is about.
By contrast the everyday table salt we usually see and use is washed and boiled. It is then mixed with iodine, bleaching agents, and anti-caking agents to create a purely white, free-flowing product. Even many sea salts you see in health food stores have been boiled and washed, which ends up removing minerals and trace elements.

Can Subthreshold Depression Put Patients With Diabetes At Risk For Poor Health Outcomes?
By Brian McCurdy, Senior Editor
A recent study in Diabetes Care suggests that subthreshold depressive episodes are a risk factor for poor health outcomes for patients with diabetes and early monitoring of depressive symptoms may lead to better functioning and quality of life.
The study focused on 1,064 patients. Five yearly assessments between 2008 and 2013 revealed that almost half of the patients experienced at least one episode of subthreshold depressive symptoms. After adjusting for potentially confounding factors, the study notes that for those with four subthreshold depressive episodes, the risk of poor functioning/impaired health related quality was almost three times higher in comparison to people with no or minimal depression.
Saying there is "absolutely no doubt" that depression is associated with diabetes, Kathleen Satterfield, DPM, says those who are newly diagnosed with diabetes will face many of the realities that cancer patients face. The diagnosis of diabetes, she notes, is going to change everything in that patient's life, such as traditional family gatherings with fatty holiday foods and birthdays with ice cream.
"In a very real sense, they feel like outsiders in their own lives," says Dr. Satterfield, an Associate Professor/Assistant Dean of Pre-Clinical Education and Outcomes Assessment in the College of Podiatric Medicine at the Western University of Health Sciences. "My patients told me this time and time again in their own way. Life isn't as fun anymore. Trying to decide how to eat is now work. Many had never been active before and their friends and family aren't too interested in taking up a new activity either. So they are facing this alone. How depressing is that?"
Andrew Rice, DPM, concurs, saying multiple comorbidities, longstanding illness, a feeling of helplessness or fear of losing employment due to long disability periods from the complications of diabetes can contribute to or may exacerbate depression.
When choosing medications, Dr. Rice suggests avoiding those medications that may worsen depression, and particularly when treating neuropathy, one should use medications that may have a positive effect to reduce depressive symptoms. Aside from making referrals to mental health professionals, Dr. Rice, an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation at the Yale University School of Medicine, suggests podiatric physicians be empathetic and alert family to assist. Dr. Satterfield also suggests getting the help of office staff and nurses to speak to patients and find out how they feel.
Dr. Satterfield recalls that when she practiced at the Texas Diabetes Institute in San Antonio, there was an outstanding amputee support group that the patients ran with support from her nurse case manager, Sabrina Shoe, and the podiatric residents who rotated through the clinic.
"One patient told the others a story about slipping out of his prosthetic limb while he was at the grocery store, pushing his cart. He took a step before he realized what had happened. Only his support group members could share in that embarrassment and really understand how a person would feel," says Dr. Satterfield.
What red flags for depression should podiatric physicians look for in patients with diabetes? Dr. Satterfield suggests looking for a patient who doesn't follow instructions and appears unkempt. Both she and Dr. Rice note other red flags are those who are uncommunicative or have sleep disturbances.

text: There are several genera of bacteria that produce desert varnish. The bacteria lies between the varnish and the rock. The bacteria pulls manganese and iron from the atmosphere and precipitate it as the varnish. They also cement a thin layer of clay with the varnish to create a protective layer against extreme weather conditions. The oxidation of the metals is how the bacteria "feeds," hence the "rusting" on the rocks.

4 Every thing you expect, from ordering to playing the gameCryomayu | 02/11/2013 | See all Cryomayu's reviews (1)Simple process when ordering this game: Book, receive confirmation, wait for delivery, delivery came sooner than expected. Flawless service from the seller.The game itself, no damages to packaging and was the edition I ordered. As expected with saints row, the game-play and story gradually.... No rapidly has grown more warped with each release. It separates itself from being a contender to Grand theft auto and can be recognised having it's own game style. In my opinion they made major changes to the game this time, so much so, that I can play the previous releases without feeling a step down in improvements, almost a completely different insane game.It certainly does not disappoint on the entertainment either. I would recommend buying this even if your not a fan of Saints Row because it is a game you can just jump into and have fun. Storyline is so messed up that it is not essential to enjoying this.
4 BrilliantMappalazarou | 24/09/2013 | See all Mappalazarou's reviews (9)An excellent, and touching, game. And so much darned fun!
4 A suprise!GottyM9 | 27/08/2013 | See all GottyM9's reviews (8)When i first started playing this I didn't like it. I wasn't feeling the whole alien invasion idea on this one. I was expecting it to be like the previous game. Having said that as i got in to it I found myself loving it. Great fresh ideas with superpowers amongst many other things. The whole games a comedy with action chucked in.A great game with endless hours of play. Worth a buy for any GTA/Saints Row fans.

text: If a scene isn't exactly what he wants, Wolfe has few qualms about making it that way. When he spots a cluster of tiny, bell-shaped white blossoms growing out of the roots of a tree, he clambers up the small hill to remove some dead branches that distract from the repeating shapes of the flowers he's trying to isolate in the shot. In his recent travels, Wolfe has been taking this idea further, posing people to create patterns inspired by their garments, surroundings, and lifestyles--an artistic interpretation of cultures rather than a traditional documentation of them. For one photo, Town Hall Meeting, Wolfe approached a group of chatting women in India's Thar Desert--"During the monsoons, they sit around and talk about how lazy their men are," he says--and gathered them in a seated circle, with their hands clasped around their legs. Arranged around a white pattern painted on the ground, their pink toenails, bejeweled wrists, and colorful saris evoke the petals of a flower or rays of the sun. For The Consultation, taken in Nepal, he assembled a group of Buddhist monks and photographed them from above, their yellow headdresses looking like buds about to bloom from a sea of red robes. "I know this will be radical for some people to get their brains around," Wolfe says, "but I haven't had too much controversy lately--let's just stir up the pot." WOLFE LAST SPARKED A FUROR in 1994 with the release of his book Migrations, in which he openly acknowledged digitally altering many of the images to enhance the patterns created by groups of animals. Most contentious was the cover, a photograph of zebras in which some individual creatures had been duplicated to fill in the herd. Though the book was a success, it angered some people who felt that wildlife photography should be a literal representation of what occurs in nature. Published the same year as Time's infamous cover of a digitally darkened O. J. Simpson mug shot, Migrations fueled the public's fears about the impact of the new technology. "When [people] figure out what's going on, they feel like they've been deceived," photographer Galen Rowell told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "They have trouble looking at a photograph the same way again."

Horse Heads by Derek Hickman
Derek Hickman's textual abstractions are acrylics on canvas that are all form, colour and narrative. Hickman addresses the imbalance between memory and myth by literally blowing bits of personal narrative out of proportion and onto the canvas, which takes the private public. Meaning is obscured from the viewer through the process of abstraction. Also after the jump is an example of work from another series by Hickman where children's toys are referenced.

Gardening Clothes That Fight Mosquitos Video
The Good Housekeeping Research Institute suggests new gardening apparel with built-in bug repellent
Insect repellants you apply to your body are effective but may irritate your skin. So, now, 1 manufacturer, Mumz, is making clothing that keeps the bug away. The Good Housekeeping experts tried on the Mumz shirts, aprons, hats and gloves to see how they worked outdoors.

One of the great things about this product is it doesn't feel any different. It feels like a regular cotton garment yet it protects you from the mosquitoes. You don't smell anything. It just helps you when you're gardening so that you're not attacked by any of the bugs.

The secret to keeping bugs at bay is the ingredient called Buzz Off. Buzz Off is a synthetic version of permethrin which is what the chrysanthemum is. So, basically, it's sort of a natural by-product that is applied to the fiber at the weeding stage. It's very safe. It has a wonderful EPA rating. It is better and safer for you than DEET.

The ingredients remain effective for about 2 years or 20 washings.

One of the most important things to know about washing the Buzz Off apparel is that it needs to be washed with itself. You should not be washing it with any other clothing because the permethrin will get on the other clothes. You may not want it on those clothes. And it also will keep the concentration high on these clothes.

And all of these items did very well with no shrinkage or change in appearance. I'm Elizabeth Maguire for Good Housekeeping Reports.

There is still some confusion as to weather this means the whole sig has to be under 1MB or that each image should be under 1MB.
I'm hoping for the latter.
Dimensions are still 600x250 pixels, including all images and text.
And yes I know my sig is currently over 1MB and it pains me that I have to get rid of it.

Ergon GA1 Evo Grips
The Ergon GA1 Evo Grips are the choice of Ergon Factory Riders. New features include an increased damping thanks to use of a new compound and greatly reduced weight through use of a stable composite clamp.
I've had a lot of hand cramps with other grips. OURY were my grip of choice until I found these. they conform to your hand, but feel much more secure (and look much better) than the other Ergon grips. They lock on securely too.
First Ergon grips, and I think they are perfect. Provide very good grip (soft rubber) still looks durable too (tubber stays together). I like the locking feature, didn't have to tighten strongly (3Nm) and it doesn't move a bit. My bike is white and blue so I took them blue and they look great. But that was my least concern...
i just go these and have not had a long term use of them yet. but initial thoughts are they are a great grip, feel smooth and comfortable to grab, easy to install and stay locked in place
I have a problem with my hands going numb due to POS Ulnar nerves in 'em I suspect. Platform grips have til this point worked the best for me, but for downhill and technical riding, obviously they don't allow you to get a good enough hold on the bars, so I've gone through easily 10 different sets of 'traditional' styled grips in the last year looking for a pair that actually did what they ALL claim to do-take away the numbness and pain, WITHOUT taking away the feel for the trail. After I thought coming close with a pair of ESI Chunks, I decided to give the GA-1s a shot before I pulled the rip-cord on the search, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. Like the ESI's, they're ovalized. But UNLIKE the Chunks, you can actually SEE which side of the grip bows out, but in case you're unable to figure it out, they actually TELL you on 'em which side is 'UP'(and also right/left). My first ride with 'em was lacking in rocks, ruts, roots, jumps, and bumps, but nevertheless I could tell straight away they were gonna do a better job than the ESI's. Just HOW much better they are then the Chunky's would be revealed when I did my weekend downhill/technical riding. The trails/chutes I speak of started life with rock patches throughout, but now thanks to the severe lack of moisture we've had, there's more exposed rock than actual dirt on 'em so they've become the poster-children for arm-pump, so this past Saturday was the first time I was able to put the GA-1s to the REAL test, and I can say unequivocally they DELIVERED in SPADES! They sucked up the harshness and vibration, yet somehow didn't mute the feel and feedback that's uber critical for traction and threshold braking. To say these thing blew me away is a gross understatement. I'm not typically one to spout off about products I own or have tried, but I'm gonna this one time. I don't care what grips you have. Replace 'em with these things, NOW! Then thank me.:-)
I changed from ESI silicon grips to these grips after reading a review on them. I really like the feel of them and I like that my palms don't get fatigued like they did with the ESIs. They are very grippy and super easy to install. The quality (materials, workmanship, design, etc.) and the instructions are both very good. I don't think I will ever go back to using a grip that does not have a clamp on feature.
Been using these for about 5 years now. Love them!

My post count terrifies even me to this day. Haven't been up to too much, really. Moved to FL a few years ago & so far have headed to Tampa each of the last 2 seasons to see the Blues, so I had that to cling to. Thank god for Center Ice. Oh, and an insane amount of concert traveling.
How have you been? It was nice to see that a lot of the same people are still here. I was worried everyone I knew would be gone.
Yea, there are a few of the old people still around but not a lot. Some of the newer people are alright though
I've been pretty good. Haven't really been doing much either. Graduated from college, got a job, bought a house and everything else is about the same. Concert traveling, eh? You haven't been following the Justin Bieber tour around the world have you?

Anybody Who Thinks Bulls Fans Were Cheering LeBron "Injuring" His Ankle Last Night Is Insane
Listen I wasn't at the game last night. I have no way to really know what everyone was thinking on that play. Yeah the crowd definitely got a little louder after the whistle. But there's a couple facts that have to be brought up before the talking heads on ESPN and everyone else starts exploding about how terrible the fans were at the UC for cheering LeBron's injury last night.
First, LeBron is probably the best fast break finisher in NBA history. He's absolutely unstoppable. If he's in front of the pack you won't be able to catch him, and I would rather beat my parents unconscious with a crowbar than take a charge with him barreling towards me. He's a dominant physical force in every sense of the word. Second, Nate Robinson is 5'9″ maybe and 180 pounds soaking wet. On an NBA court he is a shrimp. So for him to step in and stop what was for sure going to be a MONSTER dunk is a big deal. Add in the fact that Lebron didn't bounce right back up and that would make any crowd go nuts. The little guy toppling the giant? David banging with Goliath and throwing him off? That's the type of effort that can change the course of the game. So of course the crowd got behind it and went crazy. I mean Lebron goes harder at the rim than anyone and has never had a serious injury in his career. There was no way anybody at the UC thought Nate Robinson of all people was the one that busted his ankle apart. They were cheering the effort, period.
And don't forget that Lebron has milked faux injuries his entire career. It's part of his game. He over-reacts to a play, and then he keeps the act up to mask the over-reaction and sell the "injury". He's always done it. So that's why everyone was booing him as he was bent over his knees. It's the same old song and dance with him. And he proved it by not only staying in the game but playing just fine 5 seconds later. No part of his game was affected.
Of course I can't speak for everyone and there's always some people with more sinister motives:
