Taurasi, Merc look to tie WNBA Finals
Pressure doesn't worry Taurasi, but star needs to shoot better for Phoenix
INDIANAPOLIS -- Phoenix's Diana Taurasi swears she actually prefers it this way: being on the road, playing in an arena of people cheering against her. Actually, she says she can't really tell that they are cheering against her. It's just the energizing noise of a basketball game to her.
That said, she understands that the circumstances make it feel as if the Mercury -- down 2-1 in the best-of-five WNBA Finals -- are really going against the tide.
"This is when you come in as a group, and it's you against everyone else," she said. "You're not going to catch a break, and you have to figure out how to win."
When Taurasi and the Mercury face Indiana in Game 4 on Wednesday (ESPN2, 7:30 p.m. ET) at Conseco Fieldhouse, it will be one more "back-against-the-wall" moment in her career. She has had plenty, and things have gone her way most of the time.
She played in the NCAA Final Four each year of her career at Connecticut, and the only time the Huskies didn't take the national championship was her freshman season. She has played in two Olympic gold-medal games, and the United States won both. She has been in the WNBA Finals once before, and she came away with a league title.
The only high-profile disappointment for Taurasi other than UConn's loss to Notre Dame in the 2001 national semifinals was when Team USA fell to Russia in the semis of the World Championship in 2006.
Besides those rare instances, when she has been close to winning it all she has won it all.
Now, though, it's Indiana that is closer to winning it all and Phoenix has no margin for error.
"You can draw confidence from being in that situation a lot," Taurasi said, "and I think our team, in the last two weeks, has been in that situation a lot."
Indeed, the Mercury lost the opening game of their first-round series with San Antonio, then had to win two in a row. Phoenix lost Game 2 of the Western Conference finals against Los Angeles and had to wait for Game 3 to end Lisa Leslie's career.
"And [Wednesday] night will be the most desperate you'll see a team play," Taurasi said.
"I don't think what people say affects her. I think she expects more of herself than anyone else could ever expect of her. There can be no harsher critic than what she is of herself. And more than anyone I've ever played with, she's able to back it up.
" -- Penny Taylor on teammate Diana Taurasi
Yet, "desperation" has never been the word you'd use in describing Taurasi's career. She has always seemed James Bond-like; the more harrowing the situation, the sharper her performance.
However, she hasn't been particularly sharp in these Finals. That sounds harsh in light of her averages of 20 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists. But it's in reference to shooting percentage, which stands out as a concern. Taurasi has been significantly less accurate in the Finals than previously this season.
In the three games against Indiana, she is at 32.7 percent from the field (18-of-55). In the first six games of the postseason, against the Silver Stars and Sparks, she shot 52.1 percent (50-of-96). And she finished at 46.1 percent (200-of-434) in the regular season, when she led the league in scoring (20.4 ppg) and earned MVP honors.
In Sunday's 86-85 loss, Taurasi was 6-for-16, including 1-of-8 from 3-point range.
Is Indiana's defense a big part of this? Certainly. But what Taurasi doesn't talk about is that she has been bothered by back problems in the Finals and has gotten treatment during games.
"It's more of a pain in the neck than anything well, pain in the back," she said, chuckling, not specifying the exact nature of what she has dealt with. "But I'm all right."
Playing despite soreness and lingering injuries is common for many in the WNBA Finals and not something Taurasi wants to draw any attention to. Nonetheless, it's likely to be at least a contributing factor to her shooting woes.
But she's not acknowledging that. She's thinking about ways the Mercury can play a little better than they did Sunday, when just a few moments made the difference between victory and defeat.
"Defensively, we were solid; we did the things we wanted to do," she said. "But it was a couple of those key situations that they took advantage of. Like, we get three stops in a row, but they get three offensive rebounds in a row and Katie Douglas hits a 3 in the corner. Things like that break your back as a team.
"We play a set perfectly: pick-and-roll, switch, they dive, we have it [but] we leave Ebony [Hoffman] wide-open in the corner with a bad rotation. Things like that kill you at the end of games, and they're the things that stand out the most."
Taurasi described all that in almost photographic detail, having watched the entire game film Monday. The first sequence came in the third quarter and really was a momentum boost for Indy. The latter came in the game's final minute and provided the Fever's winning basket.
Diana Taurasi is averaging 20 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists in the WNBA Finals. But Taurasi's shooting percentage has been significantly less accurate in the Finals than previously this season.
Span | FG percentage |
Regular season | 46.1 percent |
First round | 56.5 percent |
Conference finals | 48.0 percent |
WNBA Finals | 32.7 percent |
Playoff average | 45.0 percent |
Taurasi understands how pivotal these moments are because she is both intellectual and instinctual about basketball. She'll talk often about how some games don't come down to X's and O's but rather to who can make plays. What she doesn't say is that she so often makes those plays because she really does excel at the X's and O's.
Plus, she doesn't ever shy away from being the person expected to get it done. Taurasi understands that whether the Mercury win or lose, a lot of the attention is going to be on how she played.
"You've got to take the good with the bad at all times," she said. "I can't worry about what anyone expects from me or what anyone says. Whether it's from here [in the media] or shoot, even my parents."
She laughs at that because she knows the spotlight is on at all times. But one of the primary things she learned from coach Geno Auriemma at UConn was that no matter how much other people think about her, she needs to always be thinking about her team.
"I say this truthfully, I am only worried about what's good for this team," she said. "I never want it to be about me because it's bigger than one person. That's what Coach Auriemma ingrained in my head: 'It's not about you; it never will be. The minute you start making it about you is when you start worrying about things.'"
Teammate Penny Taylor believes that outside expectations -- high as they typically are -- really don't bother Taurasi.
"I don't think what people say affects her," Taylor said. "I think she expects more of herself than anyone else could ever expect of her. There can be no harsher critic than what she is of herself.
"And more than anyone I've ever played with, she's able to back it up. She's able to expect that of herself because she's capable of great things, and she's always shown us great things."
With all the big games Taurasi has played in, she doesn't necessarily get nervous in the standard sense of feeling butterflies. For a game that is a must-win the way Wednesday's will be for Phoenix, mostly what she feels is that she can hardly wait for tipoff.
"I think being a little scared is good. But it's not scared of the outcome or 'I might not play well,'" she said. "It's more an anxious nervousness. Like, 'Can we not do warm-ups and just play the game? Can we play the game at 9:30 in the morning instead of waiting until 7:30 [at night]?' It's this nervous itch I have of wanting to put my shoes on and just get out on the court."

Just a reminder: St. Patrick's Day is Tuesday, March 17, 2015. Although St. Patrick's Day is a great excuse for a party, it is not a federal or state holiday. So, it is usually not considered a holiday for the purpose of having special hours of operation. This means most restaurants, stores, shopping centers and malls will be open regular hours on St. Patrick's Day.
Even though most places will not have special St. Patrick's Day shopping hours, don't think there won't be plenty of sales and deals! These days, March 17 is a lot more than eating corned beef and cabbage while drinking green beer! Many stores, restaurants, and malls now have St. Patrick's Day sales and/or special promotional deals and events on or around the holiday. Check with your favorite places of business to see who is having the biggest and best shopping events in your area. Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!

A&E's 'Paranormal State' Kicks-Off 10 City U.S. Tour in Search of America's Most Compelling Paranormal Experiences
NEW YORK, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ — A&E's hit series "Paranormal State" will kick-off a search for America's most compelling paranormal experiences with a 10 city nationwide tour beginning in San Francisco on Monday, November 30 and ending in New York City on Friday, December 11. The series star, and founder of the renowned Paranormal Research Society (PRS), Ryan Buell is issuing a call-to-action and traveling across the country to invite America to share their own paranormal experiences with him personally. The most compelling stories will have a chance to be featured on future episodes of "Paranormal State".
"Paranormal research has always been a passion of mine," said Buell. "Since the launch of our A&E series, we've been getting thousands of calls from people wanting us to investigate their homes. Although we'd love to, we can't possibly visit everyone. This is our effort to cover more territory, talk to more people and ultimately find answers to the unexplainable."
Buell, and his right-hand tech specialist and PRS team member Sergey Poberezhny, will travel coast-to-coast in a branded "Paranormal State" tour bus, taking the show on the road and visiting fans in popular U.S. destinations to gather first-hand accounts of the supernatural. The best stories will be profiled on the tour's interactive website www.paranormalstatetour.com, which aims to provide fans and enthusiasts further topics of debate concerning the paranormal.
The "Paranormal State" tour will travel through 10 major U.S. cities in 14 days, each city will have the team on-site for one day at key locations, often with a story of its own to tell. Beginning November 20, fans can log on to the interactive "Paranormal State" tour site and join the official "Paranormal State" Facebook Fan Page and Twitter feeds, all in advance of the tour. Throughout the tour fans can come to the tour location to meet Ryan, be videotaped on the tour bus sharing their paranormal stories, create a photo of themselves as a "paranormal investigator" to share with their friends, and receive "Paranormal State" branded giveaways. Fans not near a tour site can participate by submitting their stories online at www.ParanormalStateTour.com. A key feature online will allow fans to upload paranormal stories, which will then appear pinpointed on an interactive map, creating a real-time visual account of where in the U.S. paranormal activity occurs most.
The "Paranormal State" tour will travel to the following major U.S. cities and locations:
November 30, 2009 – San Francisco, CA – Embarcadero Center
December 1, 2009 – Los Angeles, CA – California State University, Fullerton
December 2, 2009 – San Diego, CA – Westfield Mall (Gaslamp District)
December 3, 2009 – Phoenix, AZ – Tempe Marketplace
December 5, 2009 – Austin, TX – Highland Mall
December 6, 2009 – New Orleans, LA – Harrah's Casino
December 7, 2009 – Tampa, FL – University Mall
December 8, 2009 – Atlanta, GA – Atlantic Station
December 10, 2009 – Philadelphia, PA – University of Pennsylvania
December 11, 2009 – New York, NY – Madison Square Park
Events will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with giveaways, prizes and the chance to tell your story to the series stars. To track the tour and find out more information about each location and its haunting facts visit: www.paranormalstatetour.com
Founded by Buell in 2001, while a student at Penn State University, the PRS works on cases across the country and is one of the most recognized paranormal societies in the nation. A&E's "Paranormal State" was one of the first shows of its kind following Ryan Buell and his team of investigators as they attempt to unravel inexplicable paranormal phenomena including sixth-sense experiences, ghost sightings, demonic disturbances, and brushes with the darkest areas of the unknown.
Past seasons have included cases such as a Pennsylvania couple besieged by paranormal activity in their home, an aggressive poltergeist in Maryland, and a ghostly hag nicknamed the "Lady Vampire" by the Texas family she torments. Through the use of Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) recordings and video documentation, and with the help of renowned psychics, demonologists, psychologists and counselors, the PRS explores these bizarre cases in the hopes of helping frightened people who have nowhere else to turn.

Allen: Robins were absolutely superb
The Robins dominated the match for extended periods and could, quite easily, have emerged with all three points. Elvis Hammond put them ahead just shy of the hour mark before Jonny Godsmark's equaliser. Allen said: "I thought our team was absolutely superb - it was our best performance we've had this season. "It showed the character of the players having played three games in the week. "Hereford also cleared three off the line in the last minute and only had one shot in the second half and that was on the break but the rest of the time our back four were superb. Everyone in the dressing room is disappointed and are upset we didn't score more goals and go on and win the game."

become addicting, but it is never as good as real face-to-face conversations and it should not be used as a substitution, especially with your girlfriend.

The appointment of two young growers to the VGA committee will provide a fresh outlook from younger growers who are accepting operational and management responsibilities.
Like many young growers, both Nick Patsuris and Paul Doria work on their family farms and also at the Melbourne Wholesale Markets.
Nick Patsuris wants to see some progress on lifting the 2009 moratorium on bore water for irrigation, now that the long drought has finally broken.
A balance of generational views and opinions is important to ensure that VGA Victoria meet the needs of all vegetable growers and to provide opportunities for tomorrows industry leaders.
Paul Doria will join his father Vince on the VGA committee and is looking to understand more about the wide range of issues facing Victorian vegetable growers.
VGA President, Luis Gazzola said "We appreciate the commitment shown by both these young men and look forward to their contribution during 2011".

Posted by chris on Wednesday, February 18, 2009 at 9:52pm.
This is a lengthy question, and it would be unreasonable for you to expect somebody to do it for you.
I will give you a few hints and steps that you can follow
Median: - a line from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side
I will do the median from R to side TS
midpoint of TS = M((-6+4)/2,(8+6)/2) = M(-1,7)
slope of RM = (7-12)/(-1-0) = 5
so equation for RM is y = 5x + b
plug in (-1,7)
7 = -5 + b
b = 12 , so equation is y = 5x + 12
(we could have used 12 directly for b, since (0,12) was the y-inercept)
Altitude: - a line from a vertex to the opposite side, or the opposite side extended, meeting that side at right angles.
let's do the altitude from R to ST
slope of ST = 2/5
so the slope of the altitude is -5/2
equation is y = (-5/2)x + b
(0,12) is on it
12 = (-5/2)(0) + b
b = 12
equation , y = (-5/2)x + 12
(posting what I have so far, to be continued)
Perpendicular bisector - a line from the midpoint of a line segment, at right angles to it.
so to find the perpendicular bisector of RS
1. find the midpoint of RS
2. find the slope of RS
3. the slope of the new line will be the negative reciprocal of the slope of RS
4. now you have the slope of that line and a point on it, find its equation.
You should have 3 equations for each of your questions, or 9 in total
I gave you 2 of them, plus the steps for the last type.

My wife and I have a 2005 Ford Freestar with 59000 miles, and as she was proceeding thru an intersection, the van just stopped, no warning, no noises prior to this. I checked the fluid and it was fine and no discoloration. We have a disabled child and he requires a lot of attention and money, I'm working two jobs trying to make ends meet and have been a fan of Ford for a long time, but after reading all these complaints, I'm thinking of going else where. We owe too much on the vehicle to just not fix it, but do not have $3000+ dollars to sink in it to get it fixed. I wish Ford would step up and fix these problems.

The transmission problems may be bogus... I had the same symptoms after 3 days of driving rain... Car would not go into gear reverse (RPM was to HIGH) and limped 30 miles under 2000RPM in first gear.. motor would stop if rpm was increased.
The problem was moisture in the computer control "connector".
Blow dry & everything normal...
25th Dec 2009, 18:33
I have had the same problem with the transmission of my 2004 Freestar. I can't afford transmission work. I have contacted the Office of Defect Investigations. I am hoping that more people voice their concerns to them. Please email them or go to the website below to contact them about the problem. This is going to go to a class action lawsuit if this problem is not looked at.

Check with a Ford dealership, there is a recall on the rotors. I was sent a recall letter to have them changed at any dealership for free. I also heard the screaming and I replaced my rotors shortly after I bought my 2004 Ford Freestar, my wife was afraid to drive it with the noise. It doesn't surprise me that the mechanic shop would not tell you this with the tough economic times.
19th Apr 2010, 11:22
Wow... I thought I was the only unlucky frustrated person with my 2004 Freestar, which I had to replace the transmission in last January, after dropping my son off at basketball practice and then the van just stopped in the middle of the road with no lights or warnings, only 67,000 miles on it...
Picked it up from the repair shop and broke again the same day... we've had to replace the power steering pump... now it's the rack and pinion, which has to be fixed by a mechanic, which is another big expense, and I'm still paying on this van for another year, and I'm working 2 jobs just to support my kids; how ridiculous, will never buy another Ford.
23rd Apr 2010, 12:45
Well lets see, replaced the trans 3 months ago on our 2004 Freestar with one from Jasper with a 100,000 warranty.
A/C compressor now making noise... when it starts.
Started having intermittent starting problems a year ago. Let it sit and would start. Now it doesn't start at all. I'm told it's the factory installed anti-theft/ remote starter system that sells for $600.
Rear gate locks itself and must reach in with a screwdriver inside, while someone pulls the handle on the outside.
Owned Fords for years, but I'm about done with 'em.
29th Apr 2010, 16:39
I bought a used 2004 Ford Freestar back in March, and like 3 weeks after that something was going on.. so I brought it to a shop and they told me the computer went.. so I had that fixed..
So we had a lot of rain, and all of a sudden the locks started to unlock when I locked it from inside.. my passenger side window would work here and there.. and now a couple of days ago I went to start it, and I put it in reverse and went to put it into drive, and it stalled... so I was upset with all this money I'm putting into it.. so I had a friend come over and look at it, and he was starting it and it kept stalling, and then wouldn't go into reverse.. so he said it was probably my transmission..
So I took it to the transmission shop, and the guy looks at it and calls me up and tells me that he thinks it's the computer, because when he opened it there was a lot of water in it... I told him what I just had that replaced last month... So he tells me that he was searching online and that they sell a cover or something for the computer, because it was known for water to get in there...
So now I'm looking for more information on here.. but when I do get this car fixed, I'm putting a for sale sign on it and selling it.. this is crazy!!!

To the commentor above me:
I feel your pain. My 2003 Ford Windstar (the Windstar and the Freestar are essentially the same vehicle) was one of the worst vehicles I have ever owned. It never made 100,000 miles, and I had a transmission failure around the same mileage as you. In total it cost me over $6,000 in repairs over the 3 years that I owned it.
After trading it in (on a much more reliable and well built Honda CR-V) I found out it was under an ongoing recall for a faulty cruise control switch that could short out and catch the brake fluid on fire, causing the entire vehicle to catch fire. On this very site, I discovered that another common problem was sub-frame failure, in which the sub-frame would rust out and the van would literally fall apart driving down the road. I was so relieved when I got rid of it, and felt even better when I discovered how horribly unsafe it was.
24th Sep 2010, 20:48
2004 Freestar, new transmission at 85,000 miles, died on the highway with family doing 70mph, $3,500; then cam shaft sensor.
We just got our van back after 8 months of trial and error repairs, fuel pressure sensor/regulator, only on 2004 and 2005, because it was a crappy idea, can only get at the dealership.
I think the brakes, transmission, cam shaft sensor and fuel pressure sensor/regulator should all be replaced at 70,000 miles if you make it that far. $3000 was spent on parts trying to figure out what the problem was not. I am not sure Ford reads the internet. I finally made the repair guy replace the fuel sensor.
14th Oct 2010, 16:26
My 2004 Windstar quit on highway. They say it's the transmission. It has only 66,000 km. Does anyone know if Ford will do anything for this?
10th Nov 2010, 19:37
Adding to the list for the 2004 Ford Freestar:
Always keep up with maintenance. At about 90,000 miles and the trans blew on the highway! The mechanic says the trans is totally rusted out and ruined the radiator. $3,400 worth of work.
I'm DEFINITELY complaining to Ford and reporting this... There has GOT to be a recall.
20th Nov 2010, 13:59
I bought my 2004 Freestar used with 60,000 miles on it. I've owned it for 3 years with hardly a problem, except this: last spring the car exhibited the same symptom other posters have described where the car will stall, the engine will race, and then it limps all the way to the mechanic. My mechanic dried out the "PCM" (engine control computer) and all was well until last month. After 3 days of constant rain, it started acting up again. This time he said it couldn't be simply dried out because the contacts were too rusted and it had to be replaced. You can't get a used one and the new ones "only come from Ford" and "must be reprogrammed by a Ford dealer". $800 later and back on the road... until today.
All things electrical starting going bezonkers: the headlights would not turn off automatically, the car acted as though the key was in the ignition, even after it was removed, the radio lost its programming, the interior lights would not come on, the key fob would not beep the horn when the car was locked, and too many other things to mention.
Oh, and it drained the battery (brand new, BTW) over night.
Then the biggie: it stalled in the middle of a busy street and would not start until five minutes later, when it started fine and acted as though nothing was wrong. I really liked this car, but I can't live with it being perfect one minute, and dead the next.
22nd Nov 2010, 13:52
I've joined the club too. 2004 Freestar with 75000kms. I've heard that new Jobber trannies hold up better than Ford trannies because of updates to torque converter. Don't buy a new Ford original, because it's still the same converter. Also I'd like to hear how the rebuilds have been working. Getting lots of kms? Or are engine/ trannie just bad mates. Let's hope the NHTSA comes up with something; they've been investigating over a year now.
30th Dec 2011, 23:02
At 103000 kms, the same thing happened like others. Without any warning there were revs, but no acceleration. Again, thank God, we coasted to a safe spot. The torque converter is gone. Ford in Canada is going to hear from me! Is there a class action lawsuit in Canada, because I want to sign up!!
First problem ever in a year and a half of ownership, 27000 kms.
24th Jan 2012, 07:44
Ford has finally recalled the torque converter for 2004-2005 Freestar models. This will be updated at no cost to the owner.
18th Sep 2012, 02:53
Yes, they did. Mine was fixed, at no charge to me, but it still wouldn't go into reverse or first gear. The Ford dealership told me that part of the transmission was not covered. If I would like to, I could purchase a rebuilt transmission for around 3k that might fix it. I bought a Honda Odyssey and I love it. No more Fords for me!

Thanks Elizabeth! I really put my all into this story and I love that it shows. Im a Bamon fan, so you will def see stories about this couple from me i the future. Thank you for taking the time to read and write it's the best form of payment for a writer to receive feedback.
Loved the story and the characters - awesome writing skills!
Author's Response:
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :D
Author's Response:
I'm not going to lie I've been thinking about a Stef/Zoe story for a while now. I really enjoyed writing her and she was the inspiration for this story in the first place. I have another Bamon fic I need to finish, and then I'm going to work on an outline for Zoe/Stef. My only issue I'm torn between if it'd be them now or them in the past ... perhaps a combo of both via flashbacks. Thank you so much for reading the whole story and taking the time to review! It means a lot.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review! I'll admit to falling in love with Zoe's character myself. I've thought alot about writing another story for her and Stef, but wasn't sure if anyone would be interested. I'm intrigued by the vamp that's locked away in Stef so alot of my stories will point out that he used to be completely different. One day I'll have to write something where the man he once was and the man he is now collide. :D
Author's Response: Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! I really hope you ejoy the rest of the story.

Fire Destroys 20 Tenn. Apartments
NASHVILLE, Tenn. --
Several families were forced out of their homes early Tuesday morning, when a two-alarm blaze ravaged their apartment building.
The fire broke out just after 1 a.m. in an upstairs unit at the Brandywine Apartments off Edmondson Pike.
Flames were shooting out of the roof when crews arrived on the scene.
Fire alarms woke up dozens of residents who went door-to-door making sure their neighbors got out safely.
"We walked outside and noticed the fire was really blazing so we instantly ran to inform our friends. We started knocking on doors telling everyone to get out," said apartment resident Matt Aldridge.
"This is very scary," Chandra Mimms exclaimed as crews fought the blaze. "It makes me really sad because it could have been me who lost everything."
Officials said up to 20 units suffered severe damage and five were a total loss.
Crews said all the residents were able to get out safely, but some of them had to be rescued.
"When the first companies got on the scene the flames were coming through the roof and initial companies on the backside found residents on their balconies," said District Chief Buddy Byers on the scene. "We had to ladder the building to help those residents get out."
No injuries were reported, but officials feared several pets may have been trapped inside.
The Red Cross is assisting seven families with replacing lost food, clothing and bedding and six families with shelter. Although more families were affected by the fire, many were not home at the time and have not yet requested Red Cross assistance.
The Red Cross said most of the families affected by the fire had renter's insurance.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt is running for re-election, and at the same time proposing a large increase to the gasoline tax to pay for transportation, and possibly an increase in vehicle license and driver's license fees and a raise in "other" taxes to pay for "other" stuff. A Feb. 14 Columbian story reported, "Washington mayors call for gas tax hike."
I note that Mayor Leavitt is not proposing aggressive enforcement of current vehicle and driver's license laws for the many who live in Vancouver and use illegal Oregon plates and driver's licenses. The fines and fees from which would go to pay for, oh gee, transportation. And the illegal sales tax exemption that these people claim could go to pay for "other" stuff. Mayor Leavitt has obviously decided that taxing honest citizens is far easier than closing loopholes and going after crooks.
I voted for Mayor Leavitt in the last election. That's a mistake I will not make again.

To make memories, new neurons must erase older ones. Short-term memory may depend in a surprising way on the ability of newly formed neurons to erase older connections.
That's the conclusion of a report in the November 13th issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication, that provides some of the first evidence in mice and rats that new neurons sprouted in the hippocampus cause the decay of short-term fear memories in that brain region, without an overall memory loss. The researchers led by Kaoru Inokuchi of The University of Toyama in Japan say the discovery shows a more important role than many would have anticipated for the erasure of memories. The Cloud and Collaboration. Paper written as a contribution to the Ars Electronica symposium on Cloud Intelligence.
Let's take as a starting point the discussion of 'cloud intelligence' on the conference website: In the cloud of connections, we each become social neurons, mimicking the biological human brain but on a giant scale. This collective knowledge is far beyond anything a single search engine could index and archive. An Analog Artificial Neural Network as Art. Phil Stearns has constructed a 45 "neuron" network of electronic parts which responds to lights and tones with a (rather cute) squealing sound.
A picture of the components for this strange device: Each "neuron" consisted of analog electronics corresponding to each of 6 functions: Input, Summing, Threshold, "Offset," "Output," and "Structure" (not sure about those latter three). Neuralnet 2. Brain innately separates living and non-living objects for proce. For unknown reasons, the human brain distinctly separates the handling of images of living things from images of non-living things, processing each image type in a different area of the brain. For years, many scientists have assumed the brain segregated visual information in this manner to optimize processing the images themselves, but new research shows that even in people who have been blind since birth the brain still separates the concepts of living and non-living objects.
The research, published in today's issue of Neuron, implies that the brain categorizes objects based on the different types of subsequent consideration they demand—such as whether an object is edible, or is a landmark on the way home, or is a predator to run from. They are not categorized entirely by their appearance. Neuroscience. Artificial Neural Network Lab: Java applets and GIF-animation.

Minox Mx Set #60205
What's Included With This Item:
- Box
Really small but powerful. For convenient photography in the smallest format MINOX presents the MX. Concentration on essentials is the philosophy applied here. Without having to compromise on optical performance, this camera controls all the required functions automatically. The photographer can concentrate on the subject and let his or her creative imagination run free. Measuring just 8.4 x 2.1 x 3.4 cm this little marvel lies perfectly in your hand and is ready to shoot after a quick glance through the bright-line viewfinder. Focusing is carried out using a slide lever on the top of the camera, enabling convenient focusing from one meter to infinity.
The film change is particularly convenient as the film cartridge is easily inserted in the film compartment on the back and the counter automatically resets to zero.
The next generation of the MINOX 8x11 Pro films as well as the MINOX labs provide even sharper picture results, glowing with color. As a result of this further development it is now practically impossible to see any difference in quality when compared with conventional 35 mm films.
For capturing subjects in the dark MINOX offers the MX flash, which has been optimally designed to match the camera body. It controls the required amount of light automatically and is hardly bigger than the camera itself.
Weighing just 55 grams the MINOX MX is a flyweight in camera design. By using durable plastics reinforced with glass-fibre the weight has been kept to an absolute minimum. It weighs little more than a fountain pen and, whether put in a shirt or trouser pocket, is a constant companion for every occasion.
Film, format | MINOX 8 x 11 mm film format |
Film transport | Film wind knob |

Film speed | Three-element MINOX lens, f/4,8/15mm, 3 lens elements in two groups, manual focusing from 1 m to infinity |

Can anyone recommend an amplifier/DAC combination or seperate devices for around $400 total, to pair with the PS500s? I've been looking at the O2+ODAC, aswell as the TEAC UDH-01 (mixed opinions on that one), but can't seem to settle as there's always one thing people dislike, makes a decision difficult. Size does not matter (home use), however I'd need USB input or spdif.
I don't know specifically for the PS-500, but the Musical Fidelity V-CAN-II is something I can recommend very highly (it plays nice with the RS-1, but then again, everything does!). VERY quiet amplifier, and that's basically the selling point imho. Perfect channel tracking (at least on mine), no bg noise, it's just completely out of the way of the signal. And that seems to work pretty well with the RS-1 (and any other dynamic can I've tried). So I assume it would work out very nicely with the PS-500.
I think Little Dot amps are also popular, but I haven't tried one.
Regarding the D/A converter - what are you hooking it up to? A computer? Can you just add a soundcard to this computer? Would be a lot cheaper, get you more options, and so on. In fact, I noticed that the X-Fi HD USB is back in stock on Amazon, and I would probably just get that either way (you get DAC, it has a headamp (no idea on quality/features/etc), phono preamp, DSP features, etc - it's like $80 too, very good deal!), and the V-CAN will bring you to just under $300.
IME, the PS500 is slightly (1-2dB?) more efficient than the 325is making it even easier to drive.

"I'm going to leave it at that, acknowledging that he will always be a part of our family. I can't wait until he comes back on that right road of wanting to be a part of the family in Tripp's life. It's going to be good. At the end of the day, this will be a good experience," she said.
Rounding out the family is 19-month-old Trig. Before he was born, Palin discovered that he would have Down's syndrome. Ninety percent of women who get that news abort, according to research reviewed by Dr. Brian Skotko, a pediatric geneticist at Children's Hospital Boston.
Palin said she knew abortion was an option, but was able to overcome the fear of the unknown to go ahead with the birth.
"I knew that the option was there...I thought again, for that split second, 'OK, now I know, too, why, when that fear strikes you, because of the unknown,'" she said. "I understood then, too, why a woman would consider [abortion] an easier path to perhaps, if you will, do away with the problem, instead of understanding that every child has purpose. There is destiny for every child. And it can be good, in our world. And that's what I held onto."
Embracing life, the former governor of Alaska and mayor of Wasilla has built her family on what she considers solid American values.
"My family is a real, real American family," she said. "Not pretentious, just hard working."
Daughters Willow, 15, and Piper, 8, joined Palin for portions of the Barbara Walters interview and weighed in their mother's possible presidential aspirations.
Willow told Walters it "would be cool" to see her mom become president. When asked by Walters if how it feels when people criticize her mother, Piper said, "It's kind of sad."
Willow added: "And it's annoying, because none of it's true."
On how their mother juggles life in the spotlight with life at home, Piper told Walters her mother was a good cook, and that her favorite meal was moose hot dogs with cheese in the middle.
"You'd love it. You really would," Palin told a skeptical Walters. "And it's so clean, and, and it is healthy protein."
Palin, who was painted during the campaign as a moose-hunting, gun-toting, fly-fishing mother of five, whose philosophy on life and politics was colored by Alaska and her love of getting knee-deep in the outdoors.
On her own upbringing, she writes about moose eyeballs -- how her dad shot and carved up a moose, and put the eyeballs in her hand.
"My dad's a science teacher, and he tried to kill two birds with one stone, what he would do is, fill the family's freezer, at the same time bring in specimens to his young students," she told Walters. "He asked me to participate in that by holding the warm eyeballs and, and, in that event I said, 'No, Dad, I just can't do that one.' ... He did raise a tough hunting buddy, but I did have my limits."
"Tough hunting buddy" until the end, Palin emphasizes how her Alaskan identity is uniquely American.
"An Alaskan life is what I think an American life can be, we have a very independent, pioneering...self-help spirit up there in Alaska where, we take care of one another, very strong families, strong communities where, it's not government mandating that we all take care of each other. ...And that lifestyle I think, more Americans need to recognize and appreciate," she said.

A keen eye on Iraq
By Tom Larson
Sun Tribune
Like many soldiers deployed to Iraq, Brandon Leuthardt brought a camera with him to capture images of his fellow troops, the Iraqi people and their environment.
But there is something special about the images Brandon has been sending back to his family since the Army Specialist arrived in Iraq in October 2008.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Patterson to ASU fans: 'Are you part of the solution or part of the problem?'
Attendance at Arizona State University sporting events can be spotty at best.
In good years, the Devils tend to draw fairly well. In the not so good years, not so much.
Athletic director Steve Patterson, a guest of Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf during "Newsmakers Week", said fan support has a direct effect on the team's chance for success.
"I've been very transparent and had some difficult conversations at times," Patterson said. "I think people in the community have the opportunity to be part of the solution or part of the problem.
"And you can wake up every day and look at that in a lot of aspects of your life. Are you part of the solution or part of the problem?"
Football fans may be leaning towards becoming part of the solution, as Patterson said ticket sales are up for the 2013 season. However recent history is littered with instances where fans have not been as generous with their support. Patterson said the university is working hard to change perception of the school and make people feel good about being ASU alums, but added if they want to see top-level success they'll need to step up, too.
"If you really do love ASU and you really do want us to go somewhere," Patterson said, "and you really do want to see great athletic teams and see our athletes graduate, which they do at far greater rates...and you want to see them continue to have success, then you need to opt in to being part of the solution and support the school.
"You know, we're going to have good years and bad years, we're going to have good players and bad players. These are not professional athletes, these are student-athletes that are trying to get their degree and doing the best they can every day to win their events that they're involved in."

2 Ok...but nothing beautifulMackemBaz | 11/11/2007 | See all MackemBaz's reviews (9)Good acting and a sweet enough storyline but this film lacked direction and although my girlfriend enjoyed the romantic storyline I was less than enravled by the ongoing behavioural problems of Kirsten Dunst's character. Nice enough film you will watch to the end but don't expect fireworks!
5 TerrificLukeyboy2k10 | 02/11/2010 | See all Lukeyboy2k10's reviews (6)I was really quite suprised about how good this film is. You read it and might think "oh god another cheesey romantic movie", but you are so wrong. Kirsten Dunst in particular was outstanding, her portrayal of a crazy out of control 17 year-old who is soft at heart and wants to do the right thing but needs guidance. Jay Hernandez deserves alot of credit too, his fresh face and charisma ooze out on screen, he proves he is a good actor. Basically get this film, i would be shocked if your dissapointed!!
5 LOVED ITCrazyBeaut1991 | 10/07/2008 | See all CrazyBeaut1991's reviews (2)i think this film was brilliant. i myself am a 17 year old girl. i think this film showed that teenage love isnt just a faze n much more. i could watch it over n over again (:
5 Fantastic!iluvpiratesausages | 08/06/2008 | See all iluvpiratesausages's reviews (2)I saw this film when it first came out in the pictures and loved it!Not your typical love story, boys will actually like it! The soundtrack is brilliant and Jay Hernandez is gorgeous.Could watch it again and again.

Posted March 13 2008 - 10:06 AM
Without any inhibitions between each other, he didn't hesitate to let me know how he felt. When I came in the house, we hugged. At the same time, his hand reached down and squeezed my cock. He was so glad to see me and said how he had been thinking about me all afternoon and how he wanted to suck on my hard cock. I don't remember my wife ever saying that to me.
We usually hang out for a while before something goes on, but he didn't want to waste any time. I was standing by the tall chair, by the counter and he pushed me back onto it. My ass was barely on the seat and I was leaning back. He started to fumble with my belt and zipper and quickly reached in and pulled out my quickly growing cock and took it right into his mouth and began sucking it.
This is the great thing about having a gay/bi friend. No pretense or bullshit. He got right down to sucking my cock. It didn't take long before I started cumming. He stroked me fast as he sucked on the head and squeezed out every drop of cum. Then he didn't want to stop. My cock was at 75% erect and he kept on sucking and licking it. Within a min. I was back up at 100%.
This time I didn't cum right away and he deep throated me. He grabbed my ass cheeks and pulled me in as close as possible as he took my cock deep into his throat. It felt fantastic. It's rare that I have the opportunity to enjoy having my cock sucked for a long period of time. Most of the time I cum pretty quick.
With his nose buried in my trimmed pubes, I felt my second orgasm rising. I was actually having my cock fucked by his throat. When I came, he took it as deep as he possibly could until I finished.
WOW! I was wiped out. Two orgasms within minutes. When he finally got up, he sighed and said how good it was. I could also see that he had a tent in his pants. He grabbed it , to adjust himself comfortably and I told him that I would take care of it for him. I didn't even close myself up and reached for his belt and zipper. I pulled his cock out and got off the chair and knelt down in front of him and began to give him a return bj. I gave a few good slurps and sucks, then took it out of my mouth , held it up and licked the underside, up and down. When my tongue teased the bottom of the head of his cock, he suddenly spasmed and shot right across my face. I quickly took it in my mouth and sucked him as he finished cumming. The stream of cum went right over my nose and cheek and was dripping on my ear. Gee, you could loose and eye if you aren't careful.
We hung out for a little while, played a few games of pool and had a couple of beers before I went home.
Sorry, if I went on, but I had to tell someone. I thought about doing for years before finally taking the dive into bi play. Even though I enjoy doing things with him, I don't think I would ever do it with anyone else.
Are there any other married guys with a "close friend".

yes i have a friend like yours but he is 22 hour drive from me now. but when i would go over to his house we would talk and catch up on old times then watch porn together then usually he would ask me how my cock is doing i would say fine i would ask him how his is and he would pull it out and say check it out for your self. Well then i would suck him off and he would return the favor.

Dear Jerimiah,I was 22. .... I asked him if it made me gay, all he said was did i enjoy it. All i could do was nod my head yes. Did that make me Bi?
What about the 37 years that went by? Did you had more male/gay experiences? Did you have fantasies about it, or longing back to being fucked or fuck/suck a guy yourself? The answers on these questions should help you finding out whether you are bi (or even gay) or not, I guess.

I picked up this 2000 Tacoma for $2000 with plans on swapping its engine into my 93 pickup but I ended up figuring out that I might as well fix this up since it could be a pretty nice truck too. Its a 2000 Tacoma extended cab trd sr5 3.4 V6 5 speed manual Rear electric locker 6 inch fabtech lift with 35's. It didn't come with wheels and tires since the guy wanted another $1000 for his brand new tires and wheels and I wasn't about to pay that much for them for a parts truck so a couple pictures show my 31's from my 93 pickup installed on it so that i could tow it home. He had hit a tree texting while driving.

Course Description
Fulfills first half of legislative requirement for 6 hours of American government. The basic goal of this course is to develop our understanding of and ability to think critically and creatively about American politics. The course will focus on disputes among political actors and among experts over a wide variety of issues, ranging from how government really works to what policies should be adopted to deal with major public problems. We will examine the operation of major American instiutions (the presidency, the Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy), examining the inputs into their operations (voters and other activists, parties, interest groups, public opinion, and the mass media), and the outputs (civil liberties, civil rights, and the public policy in areas such as public education, distributive justice, the economy, and foreign affairs). Some of these topics will be examined in their context of Texas politics. Because this is a major election year, we will focus on the campaign and its aftermath, as well as other major current events that relate to the course material by reading The New York Times daily.

I AGREE, It is soSubmitted by Guest (not verified) on Tue, 08/17/2010 - 12:23pm.
I AGREE, It is so frustrating to allow my tax dollars to take care of people that do not contribute to society. These people work under the table (the ones that do work), dont pay a penny in taxes, but cash in on all the benefits. They get housing, food, medicaid, utility assistance, cell phone, etc. The list gets longer. They laugh at this government system and brag about how America is FREE while they drive around in their Escalades. The government eat single people like myself up in taxes. I attend school full time and work hard to bring home hardly anything, yet I am still not eligible for any kind of assistance. Yet the people who have kids to get a check or a legal status reap the rewards. There is truly something wrong with this system. »
