Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Expect new Blue field boss to set pace
O'Shea proves he's no shrinking violet
It is not every year a professional football team replaces its CEO, president, general manager, head coach, assistant GM, and soon to be offensive and defensive co-ordinators, along with possibly all the other position coaches too.
Yet when you score the fewest points in the 2013 regular CFL season, give up the most points, and tie the franchise record for fewest wins ever, it's better to err on the side of total reconstructive surgery.
Not only is this a historic flushing and turnover of prominent personnel, but watching the new management team being assembled is kind of like watching the casting of the 1988 western movie Young Guns.
The CEO is 40 years old. The GM is 40 years old. The oldest of this deputized trifecta is the head coach, who is a fledging 43 years old, and they are all rookies in their respective football positions.
Yet as anyone who has ever played with newbies in a team environment knows, what they often lack in the experience and wisdom departments, the best of them make up for in categories of enthusiasm, work ethic, and innovativeness. They may not have proven track records and formulas for success at their fingertips -- in their respective positions -- but they have something to prove and chips on their shoulders to demonstrate they were the right hires for the job, and can do their jobs effectively.
The latest of these hires, new head coach Mike O'Shea, joins a long list of rookie head coaches who have been hired by this franchise.
O'Shea is the fifth consecutive head coach hired by the Bombers without a lick of head coaching experiencing.
On average, the men hired before him lasted an average of two seasons at the helm before being fired, but O'Shea has some attributes that separate him from his predecessors.
The first thing O'Shea brings into the lockeroom that Tim Burke, Paul LaPolice, Mike Kelly and Doug Berry didn't is the fact he saw the game from the inside looking out for 16 years, and as a middle linebacker has been calling defences and getting people lined up for most of that time.
When you are put in charge of men who know that you understand their perspective as players, you don't have the same proving ground as rookie head coaches who have never played the game, and you are instantly afforded a higher degree of respect.
Another factor that may endear these players to O'Shea is his background with the player's association. Not only was he a player rep, he spent time as the vice-president, and before he became a special-teams coach, he was the consensus candidate to supersede the president.
The last, and most critical distinction, between O'Shea and the crop of rookie head coaches who came before him -- to which his tenure will inevitably be compared -- is his personality.
O'Shea demonstrated at the CFLPA his ability to have both charismatic and authoritative facets to his personality. And it reminds one of the successful governance style employed by the best Bomber coach over the last decade and a half, Dave Ritchie.
He also has a high level of confidence and reputation as a risk taker.
So often, you see coaches trying to play safe, playing not to lose, and insulating themselves in their positions. O'Shea was so aggressive as a special teams co-ordinator, I recall sitting in a special teams meetings with Kyle Walters (now the GM) who was consumed with worry about what O'Shea might throw at us, instead of focusing in on what we were going to throw at him.
Most new coaches who aren't overly confident are reactive and don't force the issue, they respond to it. If O'Shea's tenure follows that of his special teams co-ordination, he will be setting the pace and imposing his will, making things happen instead of trying to catch up to them.
Young Guns opened at No. 1 over 25 years ago, and reportedly made a profit of $34 million. The fans and followers of this team will be more than happy with just a degree of this kind of success, as these three newly appointed young deputies cut their teeth at their positions in 2014.

symptoms of raspberry virus?
oldryderJuly 17, 2012
I have had raspberries for about 10 years. most years more than I can eat when they're bearing.
2 years ago I expanded the patch. The new area is bearing on last years canes right now but yield is very low compared to normal, the berries are small and rather crumbly, and they don't seem to ripen all the way.
Last fall I mowed the older area down as I had read that occasionally this is beneficial.
berries are mulched, fertilized lightly, and have been watered adequately.
if this does sound like virus what do I do next?
thx in advance for help.

It seems that Hollywood is starting to catch on to what many viewers already know: Some of the best shows on TV are not on a network; they're streaming over your internet connection. Shows such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black from Netflix have been capturing people's imagination for years, although major awards have often eluded them. But in the first months of 2015, one announcement after another pointed toward a sort of streaming content renaissance.

By Michelle Frank, Psy.D.
I live in Chicago, a city temporarily though aptly referred
to as Chiberia this winter. As of
February 9th, in fact, we survived 19 days of subzero temperatures,
a record not rivaled since 1884. (Only
slightly longer than the time elapsed since the Cubs won the World Series.)
For those able to resist the urge to hibernate, January and
February of 2014 have been an excellent opportunity to cross country ski down
Michigan Avenue… bless their optimism (and pardon my sarcasm). For the rest of us, this cold snap has been
an exercise in maintaining some semblance of sanity and wakefulness during work
hours. We grasp onto memories of
brighter days (literally) and plead with the sun. We count the days until Spring and can't wait
to fly into its arms with reckless abandon.
We hold on to our hopes of new beginnings and are absolutely certain
that Spring will be the answer we need.
Change has never sounded so appealing.
It's been said that "change is the only constant." We live in a world of unstoppable evolution
and transition. Change is, indeed,
inevitable, and thankfully so. I have
reason to believe the Polar Vortex will give way to summer heat wave
eventually. When we consider the unique
challenges of having ADHD, however, change is more than inevitable; it is an
alluring and agonizing labyrinth of possibility and unfulfilled goals.
The ADHD brain generates a wealth of ideas and spontaneous
passion for novel engagements. It also
has difficulty putting on the brakes, planning, organizing actions, considering
component parts of a whole and shifting focus from one stimulus to the
next. The ADHD brain can be painfully
slow to transition and it can also be dangerously fast. Inconsistency, trouble maintaining attention,
and difficulty inhibiting impulses are three of the hallmark traits of this
condition, all possible liabilities when embarking upon sustainable
change. For someone with ADHD:
For these reasons, among others, the process of change for
someone with ADHD bears a conflicting paradox of great appeal and tremendous
The promise of a fresh start is appealing for everyone. Tomorrow will be the day I _______ (Fill in
the blank.) I'll make 2014 the year of renewed
commitments. Next quarter I will stick
to a budget. Spring will be the season
of organized closets! These statements
are exemplary of the tortured and cyclical promise of "If-Then." When the weather changes… If I get a raise…
When I lose 10 pounds… If I fall in love… When I graduate… If I schedule my
time better… Then… and only then…. The
ADHD brain, after all, loves to simplify temporality by assuming two basic time
zones: Now, and Not Now. So, if that fresh start doesn't seem to be ready for takeoff
Now, then surely it means Not Now, and thus the cycle of living then/there
instead of here/now is reborn.
Take a moment to question what your If/Then - Big Change
looks like, with all of the contingencies and expectations you place upon
it. Consider if it needs some
restructuring. If your Big Change
fantasy comes true… Will you really be happier?
Will you feel free? Will you give
yourself a break? Will you love and
accept yourself? Will you allow and
accept love and kindness from others?
Will you take time to relax? If
so, and more importantly, then do you really need to wait for the new leaf to
turn over in order to access any of those beautiful things? Maybe, but perhaps there is another way.
Change does not have to be such a far off, all or nothing,
phenomenon. Choosing to check in with
your planner, eat a meal mindfully or prioritize your to-do list, for instance,
are all present moment actions. You hear
the alarm you wisely set for yourself as a reminder to check your planner and
you either act on it or ignore it.
Within each moment you have the opportunity to make a new or different
choice. Each moment is a new beginning,
and every beginning implies an ending to be honored. From this place we can trust that even
endings and the awkward place in between them can generate growth. Indeed, even this awful winter has something
to teach us and provides an opportunity to try something new, right now. You don't have to wait until the snow melts
to accept peace or allow happiness and acceptance into your life.
Instead of waiting for the ultimate indication of change or
some predefined millisecond that marks the emergence of a new beginning, try
thinking of each day, each hour, even each moment, as that opportunity. Some days you will not win this battle in the
big way you envision. Subzero
temperatures are still freezing cold, after all, and you may not be inclined to
get out of bed to go to the gym at 6:00 AM. (Perhaps you did not set yourself
up for success by setting this goal in the first place!) You still have a choice about how to proceed
with the rest of the day and decide what thoughts you let consume your
attention or which behaviors you are able
to commit to, even when they're challenging.
If you have ever been to Chicago in April, you may have
noticed how eager we can be to immerse ourselves in sunlight. Sometimes, 60° F marks the cutoff for tank shorts weather… after this
winter, it may just be lower. The first
few sunny, mildly-warm days will see masses of Chicagoans on the lakefront and
in the parks, playing Frisbee or reading a book, skin bare as ever, in the
middle of the workday. You'll wonder how
this urban metropolis functions as no one appears to be at work. We spring ourselves forward just like
everyone else, with eagerness and optimism, but we don't wait until July to do
it. We know, viscerally, that as fast as
that nice day comes, it can go as quickly.
We have learned to dance in the rain (or at least bask in the first,
fleeting rays of sun!)
You never have to wait for the perfect moment to begin
anew. What are you willing to do,
accept, or let go in order to embrace the sunshine right in front of you? How can your day be filled with small actions
or thoughts that add up to the big change you hope for? Better yet, can you accept yourself and allow
happiness and peace into your life while in the process of change, before the
big result becomes apparent? Is there
anything really worth waiting for?
Certainly don't hold out for the Cubs to win the World

New OSU Leader: Ohio State Commits $400M To Affordability Effort
Ohio State University's newest president says the institution is committing $400 million over five years to lower students' costs and improve the value of their education.
Listen to the Story
Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy is making a second attempt at reaching Capitol Hill, after losing by a slim margin two years ago to Republican Deborah Pryce. This time, she's taking on Republican State Senator Steve Stivers.
This local race is already picking up where the presidential primary left off with a big focus on trade and lost jobs.
Trade was the topic of choice today, as Kilroy addressed more than 200 workers laid off from GM's Delphi plant.
WOSU's Lauren Schmoll was there.
Things haven't been good at UAW Local 969.
Potholes pit the now seldom used drive, and a for sale sign sits just in front of the entrance.
But inside it's a different story.
John Waldman is one of the hundreds of former Delphi workers at the UAW. He's curious to see what type of change Mary Jo Kilroy has planned.
Waldman does not blame General Motors for the plant's closing. He says the trouble is in Washington, and that's why he wants to see change.
They exported the jobs," Waldman said. "It's not an even playing field. It's not GM's fault. It's the whole system. That we're allowing any system to go over there and take the jobs at less price.
Another former Delphi employee, James Brown agrees.
"I think it's a combination of GM's greed, and the government just letting the big companies do what they want to do," Brown said. "When I first started out here working at Delphi, we had over 5000 jobs, all those are gone."
And that's exactly what Mary Jo Kilroy wants to change if she makes it to the Capitol.
Unfair trade deals give an unfair advantage to foreign competitors," Kilroy said. "Delphi plant is standing empty and that is a testament to how NAFTA has ravaged this community.
But A.C. Delco chairman Tom Knox says he isn't so sure that NAFTA is a bad thing.
NAFTA had some good things in it for different states too," Knox said. "What we need to do is look at it and make it fair for everybody.
Republican Candidate Steve Stivers says fair trade is important, but that by focusing on NAFTA as a reason for job loss leaves out a very important piece of the puzzle.
We've lost 250,000 manufacturing jobs in the last ten years," Stivers said. "The biggest number of those jobs have been lost to automation not to trade. We've got the same amount of economic output, but less workers needed for that amount of manufacturing.
Either way, James Brown is looking forward to November.

Veterans Health Care:
Veterans Health Administration Processes for Responding to Reported Adverse Events
GAO-12-827R: Published: Aug 24, 2012. Publicly Released: Aug 24, 2012.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
Through its policy and guidance, VHA has outlined processes that enable VAMCs to respond to reported adverse events that occur. VHA generally grants individual VAMCs discretion on choosing which process to use. Specifically, VAMCs conduct an initial review to determine how best to respond to an adverse event. According to VHA officials, if the circumstances that led to an adverse event are clear, based on a VAMC's initial review, VAMCs can take immediate corrective action. If the circumstances that led to an adverse event need to be examined further, VAMCs are given discretion to use one or more of the following four processes: (1) root cause analysis, (2) peer review, (3) clinical care review, and (4) administrative investigation board. Because VAMCs generally have discretion in which of these processes they use, different VAMCs that experience similar adverse events may not use the same processes to respond to them. Nonetheless, each process has certain purposes and limitations. For example, some of these processes may be used to examine a clinician's actions as they relate to an adverse event, while others may be used to examine whether a systems or process issue exists. Furthermore, information collected through two of these processes--clinical care reviews and administrative investigation boards--can be used to inform actions against clinicians; information collected using root cause analyses and peer reviews cannot be used to support such actions, because information collected under those processes is protected and confidential, under federal law. Based on the nature of an adverse event and the information gleaned through a particular review process, a VAMC may decide to conduct multiple types of reviews, as appropriate.
Why GAO Did This Study
The Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) operates one of the largest health care delivery systems in the United States, providing care to more than 6 million veterans annually. Organized into 21 Veterans Integrated Service Networks, VHA's health care system includes 152 Veterans Affairs medical centers (VAMC) nationwide that offer a variety of outpatient, residential, and inpatient services. These health care services are delivered by physicians, dentists, and other providers and range from routine examinations to complex surgical procedures.
During the course of providing health care services, adverse events--clinical incidents that may pose the risk of injury to a patient as the result of a medical intervention or lack of an appropriate intervention, such as a missed or delayed diagnosis, rather than that patient's underlying medical condition--may occur, resulting in potential harm to veterans. They are required to be reported to appropriate VAMC staff through each facility's incident reporting system, or through other channels, such as anonymous phone calls or e-mails to VAMC staff, such as the patient safety manager or risk manager, according to officials. VHA policy requires that appropriate action be taken to evaluate reported adverse events. Once an adverse event has been evaluated, the VAMC may take actions that include correcting system or process issues and taking actions against individual clinicians when warranted. Specifically, actions taken against individual clinicians following adverse events may include adverse actions--ranging from admonishments to termination of employment; as well as actions taken to limit a clinician's clinical privileges, such as the reduction or revocation of privileges. Staff remediation activities, such as refresher training and proctoring, can be employed when adverse actions or limiting a clinician's privileges are not deemed necessary. Recent adverse events have raised questions about the quality of care provided to veterans by VAMCs, and whether lessons learned at one VAMC are being translated into systemwide improvements. In response, members of Congress have raised questions as to the processes VHA has in place to respond to adverse events at VAMCs and take appropriate action, when needed, to address problems found within the VHA health care system. Congress asked us to describe how VHA responds to reported adverse events within its health care system. In this report, we describe VHA's processes for responding to reported adverse events within its health care system. In future work, we will examine the implementation of these processes at VAMCs.

Ornamental Pears - leaves browning
Some of my ornamental pears are exhibiting a browning of the leaves, shown in the attached image. Any ideas as to the cause and solution?
Where abouts are they growing: temperate climate, sub-tropical, tropical; what's the soil like, acidic, alkaline, well drained, clayee? How often are they watered? A rough guess might suggest a soil deficiency. More info. would help!
Thanks Funnelweb.
1. Cold climate
2. Haven't done a PH test on the soil. The ground is clay. I dug a sizeable hole and placed a garden mix in when I planted them. They've grown quite a bit since then, it's a possibility the roots have grown down into the clay.
3. Drainage is poor. The ground is level, and I believe my neighbours yard slopes toward these trees.
Cold climate should be ok, I grew 2 ornamental pears in Sydney, pyrus pashia (from a seed I nicked from the Syd. Bot Gdns. many years ago) and p. ussuriensis. Both grew to maturity and flowered magnificently every winter. They were on typical Sydney soil, free draining, neutral ph. They are regarded as pretty hardy in cool to temperate climates and like an ample supply of water. From the look of the leaves in your pic. I'm inclined to think it could be drainage and either too much or too little water. Can you improve the drainage? Alternatively looks like it might be pretty close to what looks like a garage door - colourbond steel-work. Any reflected heat from that? Those crinkled leaves could be the result of burning; other leaves in the picture seem to be unaffected. If it is too close and if the tree isn't too big you might consider moving it during the winter dormant period.
The trees are 600mm off a colourbond fence with a North/South orientation. In the afternoon the fence cops the full brunt of the hot Western sun. Unfortunately, the garden bed is bounded by a brick edging which has been mortared in. It would be a massive task to shift both the trees and the edging. If they die I'll replace them with something that can handle the heat.
As far as drainage goes, the only thing I could really do would be to build up the garden bed level. The neighbours block slopes toward the fence, I'm probably copping his stormwater run off.
Yep, I reckon it's leaf burn from the reflected heat off the fence. In my opinion your only option is to move them to where they can get better air circulation otherwise they'll continue to struggle until eventually they give up the ghost. Depending on how big they are, you could risk cutting the roots that extend out beyond the edging - no shorter than you have to - during the dormant period in winter. I'd also reduce the top growth accordingly to reduce stress on the tree(s) when the sap again begins to rise and new growth appears. That's standard bonsai practice, done with caution they should cope ok.

Halo 4
Question from FlameAbsol
Man Cannon?
What is Man Cannon?
2 years ago
They are the bluish gravity lifts found in and around bases that shoot you to another part of the map
2 years ago
If I'm not mistaken you are trying to get te various achievements related to the man cannon from the crimson dlc. There are two thruster like objects on one of the dlc maps that has some crashed ships. ( I think this map is called wreckage) Basically you need to kill an enemy with melee while you are airborne (Jump and punch) shoot an enemy while you are airborne, kill an enemy while you are airborne with your gun, kill someone with the warthog gun while airborne and kill someone on one of the man cannons.
These achievements are a little weird and don't seem to register use of the man cannon
2 years ago
Its acts as a lift it usually sends players across any area. Sometimes up a platform.

OBS: There is a version in portuguese.
Handwritten digit recognition task was one of first great successes of machine learning methods. Nowadays, the task can be carried out by multiple specialized libraries with very high accuracy (> 97% of correct answers), such that many times, despite of indirectly we use these features in tablets and smartphones, in general we do not know exactly how the method works.
Thinking about it, as I worked with this problem before, I will demonstrate in this post how the process works, the techniques used and how to implement it with R language. To begin, we will work with the problem of recognizing digits 0,1,2 , 3,4,5,6,7,8, or 9, i.e. a classification problem with 10 categories.
I'll try to work here implementing all the modeling only with R base functions and a few extra packages with the required functions and algorithms; in the next post, I can try to use other packages to automate the various modeling tasks.
