When former Giants G.M. Ernie Accorsi was hired to help the Panthers find a new G.M., the first name that popped up in league circles as the prime candidate was Giants executive Dave Gettleman, given his relationship and friendship with Accorsi. And even though Gettleman wasn't even interviewed for any of the other G.M. openings in the current hiring cycle, he won the dog-and-pony show in Charlotte.
People can criticize all they want though, I still think he was a great hire.

Daily OCD: 11/15/11 | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under Robert Crumb, reviews, Popeye, Peanuts, Paul Nelson, Mickey Mouse, Love and Rockets, Kevin Huizenga, Kevin Avery, Jaime Hernandez, interviews, Frank Santoro, Floyd Gottfredson, EC Segar, Disney, Daily OCD, Charles M Schulz, Carl Barks, awards, Aline Kominsky-Crumb | 15 Nov 2011 7:26 PM |
Today's Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Awards: Esperanza by Jaime Hernandez has been named by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Round Table of the American Library Association to the long list of nominations for the Over the Rainbow recommended reading list, one of only two (as far as I can tell from my quick skim) comics to be so included
• Plug: Pamela Paul of The New York Times asks "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" creator Jeff Kinney about his favorite books from childhood: "...[T]he works that stood head and shoulders above the rest were Carl Barks's 'Donald Duck' and 'Uncle Scrooge' comics from the 1940s through the 1960s. Mr. Barks wrote tales of high adventure generously peppered with moments of high comedy.... Classics such as 'Lost in the Andes,' 'Only a Poor Man' and 'A Christmas for Shacktown' left a deep impression on me. Mr. Barks taught me that comics could be high art, and I consider his work to be the best storytelling I've experienced in any form. ...Fantagraphics has announced that it is publishing the Barks collection in beautiful hardcover books that do great honor to the cartoonist and his stories, and I can't wait to buy them for my kids. Proof that great storytelling endures from generation to generation."
• Review: "This volume [Walt Disney's Donald Duck: Lost in the Andes] reprints tales from December 1948 through August 1949, when Barks was in high feather as a creator of breathless adventures and light comedies for his Ducks... Great pop culture, great analysis. Scrooge is always searching for more gold, and there's plenty here. [Rating] 10/10" – Michael Barrett, PopMatters
• Review: "The finale of the story Jaime has been telling over the past couple of annual issues [of Love and Rockets: New Stories] is a moment of bravura comics storytelling, but the buildup to it in the opening portions of this issue is pretty great as well... Ah, but as nice as these stories are, they all seem to be prelude to the dazzlingly virtuosic end of this chapter in the Locas saga... This could signal an end to the current era of Locas stories, but these characters are less figures of Jaime's imagination than real people alive in the minds of readers everywhere at this point, and even if another story featuring them never appears, we can rest assured that they will continue to live on, somewhere, sometime." – Matthew J. Brady, Warren Peace Sings the Blues
• Plug: On his blog, Frank Santoro declares "Ganges #4 is easily the best comic book of 2011. Case. Fucking. Closed."
• Review (Audio): Introducing the latest episode of the Wait, What? podcast, co-host Jeff Lester says "we dollop more praise on Ganges #4 by Kevin Huizenga because honestly that sucker could probably use another five or six dollops."
• Plugs: "Fantagraphics' collections featuring Charles Schulz's comic strip masterpiece, Peanuts, are fantastic and if you're a Peanuts fan, you need to be reading these. Floyd Gottfredson probably did as much to shape the personality of Mickey Mouse and his supporting cast as Carl Barks did for the Disney Ducks, yet his work has never received the same degree of attention as the work of Barks. Fantagraphics is correcting that with Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse. The first two volumes of this series are fantastic and the strips probably look better here than they did when they were originally published. It's a joy to watch Gottfredson develop as a storyteller as Mickey and the gang evolve along with him.... There's also plenty of background material to place the stories into historical perspective. And the collection of Walt Kelly's Pogo that hits stores this week is gorgeous. I have some of Fantagraphics' previous Pogo volumes and this one blows them away. I'm also getting into Popeye for the first time with their collections of Segar's classic strip." – Roger Ash, Westfield Comics Blog
• Interview: At The Vinyl District, Dulani Wallace talks to author Kevin Avery about Everything Is an Afterthought: The Life and Writings of Paul Nelson: "He would only really enjoy writing about things that meant something to him personally, so there are a few clues about his own life in many of his pieces. So that became the idea — the first half of the book is the biography, the second half of the book is Paul's writing. It's kind of like Paul telling his own story."
• Commentary: At Comic Book Resources, Laura Sneddon, who is documenting her experiences in the postgraduate Comic Studies program at the University of Dundee in Scotland, examines the work of Robert Crumb and Aline Kominsky-Crumb for the class topic "Comics and Gender"

(NewsUSA) - A kitchen renovation is almost always a costly and time-consuming undertaking. The thought of ripping out and replacing cabinets, countertops and appliances is enough to stop you in your tracks. But a kitchen redo doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing proposition. Sometimes, the smallest changes can make the biggest difference. Take wallpaper, for example.
Nothing enlivens an outdated kitchen more quickly or more easily than wallpaper. A bright, happy pattern like a toss of fruits or vegetables can play on the past with kitschy, retro-inspired style. Or you can modernize with patterns that mimic tile, stone and metal: a budget-friendly alternative to the real, more costly materials for backsplashes. You don't have to worry about most stains because most wallpaper has a protective coating and is washable, even scrubbable. In fact, kitchen-friendly wallpapers are much lower maintenance than paint, which has about a three-year life span.
Wallpaper isn't just for kitchen walls. Here are some ideas that can modernize any kitchen in an instant:
* With extra wallpaper or coordinating border, cover lamp shades on hanging fixtures to create a chic, pulled-together look.
* Wallpaper inset panels on cabinets and pantry doors.
* Paper the back of glass cabinets or open shelves and turn the display of everyday china into a work of art.
* Tap into your creativity: layer wallpaper with a coordinating border and removable wall decals. Or, if there's a hard-to-reach angle where wallpaper won't work, use a complementary wall decal to pull the look together.
* If the seating in your kitchen faces one wall, create an art installation by placing individual peel-and-stick wall decals in store-bought frames in a pattern on the wall.

BAFTA 2009 Articles
BAFTA Brange
The Jolie did not wear a robe. And she did not wear all black. Surprised? Me too. It was mostly black but there was also an aggressive yellow arrow breaking up the darkness. And she really did smolder last night. There was a way about Angelina at the BAFTAs that was missing from the SAGs and the rest – a back to bombshell challenge on her face that will, hopefully, carry through to the Oscars. Full Story
BAFTA Unspoiled: Dev Patel
Please let him stay this way – so humble and grateful and eager and sweet. Here's Dev Patel at the BAFTAs riding the incredible wave, and still as amazed as he was 2 months ago when this thing took off. Dev is adorable! Did you see him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart? If not, you MUST. Full Story
BAFTA Recycle: Freida Pinto
Oh Freida. Another major awards show, another disappointing choice. I worry for our Freida. The colour… not crazy about how it washes her out. And the dress – it's an Oscar de la Renta but it may as well be Dior two years ago. Both Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore wore a variation in fuschia and green that at the time I called lettuce and now it's been recycled. Full Story
BAFTA Worst Hair: Penelope Cruz
Like, this fringe is balls. Hate it. Also why is she wearing the same dress over and over again? Black, mermaid, I mean there's saving up and there's just being lazy. Thrilled that Pene won Best Supporting Actress because she really was on fire in Vicky Cristina, but this doesn't absolve her from the assness of these geisha bangs. Full Story
BAFTA Best Hair: Kylie Minogue
Kylie's hair is often so severe, pulled back tight, or curled to the point of motionlessness, it's lovely to see a softer side. Does Kylie's hair reflect her heart? I think so, yes. Kylie is in love Full Story
BAFTA My Marion
Last year she presented herself at the BAFTAs in angel winged gorgessity from head to toe and took home a mask. This year, it's a different Marion. Not her best dress by far (hate it) and her hair looks lank and unwashed… But this is my girl. My girl understands her year has come and gone. Full Story
BAFTA Shia
Shia LaBeouf skipped the red carpet entirely at the BAFTAs. It'd be easy to rip his balls off for it like he's Gwyneth Paltrow or Katie Holmes - all of a sudden too good for press at an awards show. But I find it harder to hate on Shia than his other douchey peers. When Shia says he's not an attention whore, I kinda believe him. Full Story
BAFTA Winslet
The dress is Zac Posen, fit her beautifully. I likey much better than the other black one from the Globes. And her speech was better too. Short, concise, heartfelt… Will it be her last of the season? Or will she have the chance again on Oscar night. She is the favourite going in and what I like about Kate is that there's no false modesty about this. Full Story
BAFTA Goldie Hot Mess
Is she senile? Was she drunk? Both? Whatever the reason, every minute was the best thing ever. And she still managed to be endearing. Completely off her tree, momentarily incapable of reading, escaping to the beach for 5 seconds or so at one point, there may have been a joint involved too… Goldie makes retirement look good. Full Story
BAFTA Red Hot Mess: Sharon Stone
Sharon Stone and Madonna are both 50. I'd say Sharon's work is less… jarring…than Madge's? She really does look great. Wears that dress beautifully. Face has been enhanced but not alarmingly so. Very Demi Moore. But as we all know, Sharon Stone is f-cking crazy. Thankfully she didn't dial down the crazy for the BAFTAs either. Full Story
BAFTA Bonus: Jim Sturgess
Don't know who he's with. But her outfit is kinda badass. And – please forgive me if it's a relative – together they look like hot dirty sex. Don't let it be a relative! It's so rare to see him… like months and months between sightings…and he's not a carpet staple of course…and no one cares about him because he doesn't sell so I could only find two pics but whatever. Full Story
BAFTA Stripper: Marisa Tomei
Enough with the Academy rewarding strippers with a heart of gold. Every year there's a stripper with a heart of gold nominated for something. Am over it. It's done. Anyway, Marisa apparently dressed for her character at the BAFTAs – f*ck me hair and a showgirl dress that's seen better days, like a girl who has seen better days, used hard and dried up… She's been hanging out with Mickey Rourke too long, I think. Full Story
BAFTA Body: Gemma Arterton
Why Gemma Arterton? Because we can't see her bones. Can you say the same about 95% of other young actresses these days? Hell no. So some love for Gemma, yes? Yes. Gemma Arterton, who was in Bond for maybe 4 minutes, owned her curves in black at the BAFTAs. Gemma's body or Keira Knightley's body? Please. Full Story
BAFTA Youthful: Emma Watson
Emma Watson is 18. She looks 18, doesn't she? She acts 18. She dresses 18. She moves 18. And while her dress is not my favourite, this doesn't matter. What matters is that it's appropriate. And she isn't pushing 40. And she doesn't look like she's been passed around a frat house. Full Story

Zucchini is quickly sauteed in garlic-flavored oil, and then mixed with a small amount of Spinach and Basil Pesto for a perfect summer side dish. |
Wash zucchini and cut into slices that are about 1/2 inch thick.
Add zucchini to the hot pan, in a single layer if possible.
Cover and cook about 4 minutes, turning the zucchini once or twice so it gets browned on all sides.
Here's my zucchini the first time I turned them, just starting to get brown.
When I turned them again I was getting more of the nice browned color I wanted.
Stir around gently until all the zucchini is coated with pesto, season with salt and fresh ground black pepper, and serve immediately.
Sauteed Zucchini with Spinach and Basil Pesto
3-4 medium sized zucchini
1 T olive oil
2-3 large cloves of garlic, sliced
1/2 cup Spinach and Basil Pesto (or use store-bought pesto like I did in this recipe for a slightly different version)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in heavy frying pan with lid. Add garlic cloves and saute 1-2 minutes, just until you start to smell the garlic, then remove garlic cloves and discard.
Add zucchini to hot pan, arranging them in a single layer if possible. Turn heat to medium, then cover and cook about 4 minutes, turning the zucchini once or twice. After 4 minutes, check to see if both sides are browned and the squash is getting as tender as you'd like it. Cook 1-2 more minutes, uncovered, as needed until zucchini is tender-crisp and any liquid is evaporated.
Turn off heat and spoon pesto over zucchini and stir gently. Let it melt for a minute or two, season the zucchini to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper, put into serving dish, and serve immediately.
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

I'm using with RODE NT2-A and it sounds clear.
Might it be depending on which mic you use?
T-Bone Sutherland wrote:Sounds frustrating. Since you have isolated the problem to the UR 22, I would move forward with contacting Steinburg about warranty coverage.
strobo wrote:Hi,
Steinberg Support answered me that with the only one returned unit for this reason of noise, they did tests on multiple machines and don't have the problem... They said that in similar cases they had seen, including other brands, the cause is usually on a specific system and caused by computer's USB power system.
If could be an USB power issue, why some customers did the same tests with other brands USB-powered interfaces and there was absolutely no noise? Only happens with UR22... Maybe UR22 requires a best USB power than the other brands.
Have you tried on others desktop and laptops?

More InfoWe use the latest fiber laser technology to engrave our tags. Many pet tag manufacturers use lower power CO2 laser engravers that do not actually engrave the metal but rather mark or laser bond on the metal. This type of laser marking does leave a clean dark mark but will eventually be illegible as the metal from the tag wears down. We at dogIDs use a high power fiber laser to engrave our tags which actually vaporizes and removes the metal so it is actually engraving instead of marking or laser bonding. This allows us to engrave deeply into the metal with pristine detail and a nice contrasting engrave color...Excellent looks with a true engrave that will NEVER wear off of your dog's tag. Engraving guaranteed for life...PERIOD!

Wisdom Panel 2.0 Breed Identification DNA Test Kit
Options | MSRP |   | Price |
$74.99 |
Detects 100% of AKC Breeds
Covers 200+ Breeds & Varieties
What is Wisdom Panel® 2.0?
Wisdom Panel® can help reveal you dog's genetic background including:
Mixed breed dog: breed ancestry identification back to great-grandparents
Purebred dog: breed certification and level of genetic diversity inbreeding
Designer dog: certification that your dog is a true 50/50 hybrid of two purebred parents
Adult weight range prediction to help you make appropriate nutrition and diet choices
Breed insights to help you provide a better training program, understand behavior, and create an effective care and wellness plan
Dogs can't talk, but their DNA can
Where does Buddy get his curly tail from? Why does he love digging holes in the backyard? Could I be doing more to make him happier and healthier? Your dog may not be able to tell you the answers – but his DNA can. Wisdom Panel® 2.0, the most comprehensive breed identification DNA test on the market, can not only help unravel your dog's unique breed history, it can also provide DNA-based insights towards optimizing your dog's overall care and training needs.
Over 25 million mixed-breed dog owners know their dogs…but not as well as they could. With the simple swipe of a cheek swab, Wisdom Panel® can determine the ancestry of a mixed-breed dog by testing for more than 190 breeds, the largest database on the market. Within three weeks, dog owners will be e-mailed an official Ancestry Report that reveals the dog's genetic background.
A dog's ancestry can influence him in surprising ways. Obvious and not-so-obvious physical traits plus behaviors like digging, herding and barking all come from the various breeds in a dog's family tree. Once an owner understands a dog's natural tendencies, it makes it possible to create a tailored training, exercise and nutrition program to fit his one-of-a-kind needs.
1. Collect Dog's DNA
IMPORTANT: Wait approximately 2 hours after a meal or treat (drinking water is fine) to begin the DNA collection. Prior to swabbing, inspect your dog's mouth between the cheek and gums for food debris.
Peel back the edges of swab sleeve. Set the sterile sleeve aside for mailing. Remove swab from package by holding its handle. Avoid touching the swab's bristles with your hand.
Holding your dog's head, insert the swab into his mouth between upper gums and cheek. FIRMLY ROLL AND ROTATE the swab's bristles between the inner surface of the cheek and gums for about 15 seconds. This will not harm your dog in any way.
The goal is to collect a large quantity of cheek cells for DNA analysis.
AIR DRY SWAB by inserting the swab handle in holes of packaging to air dry for 5 minutes.
REPEAT sample collection steps with the second swab.
IMPORTANT: Your test will not be processed until you complete the online kit activation.* Upon successful completion, you will receive an activation confirmation number.
Please be sure to COMPLETE ALL REQUIRED FIELDS.
Upon completion, WRITE YOUR ACTIVATION CONFIRMATION NUMBER ON LABEL #1.
Activating your test allows for immediate tracking of your sample as well as updates throughout the process of the test analysis.
IMPORTANT: Apply LABEL #1 to the back of the swab sleeve.
RE-INSERT both dry swabs into the protective sleeve so that the swab's bristles are completely covered. DO NOT re-seal the sleeve as this can cause bacteria and fungus to grow.
PLACE the sleeve with the swabs back in the carton insert by sliding the sleeve under the 2 flaps (as you received your kit). Swabs MUST BE SUBMITTED in original box or they will not be processed.
SEAL the carton by inserting TABS into slots, REMOVE tape backing and close carton TIGHTLY.
APPLY SHIPPING LABEL to carton and place with outgoing mail.
SAVE the instruction card for future reference.
Check back online to track the status of your test at WWW.WISDOMPANEL.COM/STATUSCHECKER

Phoronix: NVIDIA 256.52 Linux Driver Brings Fixes
Just shy of a month ago was when NVIDIA last released a proprietary Linux driver, at which point they also released a second driver that was their OpenGL 4.1 preview driver. This Saturday though NVIDIA has provided a new driver release, which is tagged as the 256.52 pre-release. This new Linux driver release isn't overly exciting, but it does carry some prominent fixes that will please some NVIDIA customers...
Nice but unfortunately users with Optimus-based laptops are still left out in the cold.
Maybe it's time for an article about this issue? (and make sure people don't buy such laptops until NVidia drivers support them)
This advice doesn't work. XvMC is only supported on GeForce 7 and older, while VDPAU is only supported on GeForce 8 and newer.Originally Posted by Michael Larabel
So one'd need to buy a newer card, a software update is not enough.
has someone tried this with kernel 2.6.36.x ?
fffuuuuuuuand does not offer coolbits overclocking for geforce gtx 400 series "fermi" hardware.
2.6.36 is not even released yet BTW
some issues have emerged in the mean time: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/show...ghlight=2.6.36
New stable driver 256.53 is out:
At least, Nvidia has drivers released relatively quickly and they seem to follow up. On the NvNews website, it does look like there's issues with the drivers applicable to the Fermi cards and GTX 460 in particular, as it's the latest card to be released. But, it doesn't look nearly as bad as what is going on with Evergreen cards. The evidence can be read about here but also any place in which HD 5xxx cards and Linux is in the discussion.
From this blurb:
The driver is released in a timely fashion so even if it's not perfect, there's something to try and one is not reading a zillion posts of issues.NVIDIA had same-day Linux support ready with their proprietary driver, launched CUDA 3.0 support at the same time as their Windows release, and they released their first OpenGL 4.0 Linux driver just days after releasing the first OGL4-capable hardware, which was the GeForce GTX 470/480. Since then, with the release of the OpenGL 4.1 specification from the Khronos Group they have provided an OpenGL 4.1 driver to Fermi Linux users.
The latest ones in the ATI section is shocking especially since the cards were released last Sept./Oct.? Pathetic...
I guess that shows the true nature of Linux support by ATI. AMD/ATI devs ignore it here, too.
Evergreen is obsolete
Southern Islands will be out by next 2-3 months.
Evergreen support will be EOL even if no drivers even picked up support for them YET.
I pity all Evergreen users.
All your life spent on the card were miserable. Hope you do wiser choice next time.
From what I've heard, Southern Islands will be a relatively minor update, so Evergreen cards should still be perfectly good.

Late whistle squanders comeback bid
A controversial foul gave Madison late life and a chance to take the lead with less than two second left to play in the Region 3A Championship game Tuesday, March 11 at the Elmen Center in Sioux Falls.After a slow start for the Quarriers in the first quarter – they were held to just six points – Dell Rapdis battled back and took its first lead of the game with 12 seconds left to play when junior Zane Schumaker hit a runner in the lane, giving the Quarriers a 54-52 lead.But the undefeated and top ranked Bulldogs took advantage of its last trip down the floor and caused the Quarriers' defense to collapse to give Madison standout Preston Nording a look from the wing. The three-point shot was long, but a foul was called. Nording hit all three tries from the free-throw line, and Dell Rapids' season was ended with a heartbreaking 55-54 defeat."The official on the top made a judgment call and thought we committed a foul on the shot," said Jason Fersdahl, Dell Rapids head coach. "Give Nordling a lot of credit. He stepped up and hit all three free throws."A poor first quarter had Dell Rapids digging out of a hole early. Madison outscored the Quarriers 17-6 in the first quarter before Dell Rapids could find any rhythmBut a string of defensive stops midway through the second quarter seemed to give the Quarriers some confidence heading into the break, sparking a 21-15 third-quarter scoring run."With the competitors that we have on our team, I knew the game was not over and that we were going to fight and do whatever it took to close the gap," Fersdahl said.Dell Rapids edged Madison in nearly every stat line, except free throws. Dell Rapids shot 39 percent from the field to Madison's 38 percent, grabbed 33 rebounds to Madison's 32, and committed just five turnovers to the Bulldogs' 10. Neither team shot particularly well from the charity stripe, but Madison made 13 of 21 while the Quarriers hit just six of 16.Quarrier junior Riley Schmidt had a team-high 13 points and four assists, and Schumaker chipped in with 12 points.Quarrier senior Cody Nielsen grabbed 10 rebounds.Fersdahl praised his team for their resolve and a successful season."I could not be more proud of our players for showing the heart and determination they did throughout the game and all the way to the final horn," he said. "Our players showed great sportsmanship at the end of the game in dealing with a very difficult loss and for that, I feel the entire community should be proud of the fine young men that represented Dell Rapids on the basketball floor this season."The Quarriers finished the year with a 14-8 record.

I've been away from this forum for quite a long time.. Have a question about Evercoat fillers. I have never used them before. I recall, Steve Neill and David Merriman use this stuff on their sub models. Aren't the Evercoat products intended for use on automotive metal body panels? I know the above mentioned guys use them on fiberglass hulls.
Which of the Evercoat products would be best for fillets and general filling of gaps when bonding urethane resin parts to an ABS vacuum-formed plastic hull? Also for fillets between metal and ABS plastic? In specific, for use filling gaps between the urethane resin lower tail and the ABS hull on the 32P XXIII model. And for same use to blend the metal, ballast weights to the bottom of the ABS hull by creating a fillet around the perimeter of the rectangular weights.
Evercoat "Easy Sand" or "Metal Glaze"? Or one of their other products? I am considering the "Easy Sand" 24oz bottle in particular, but would like to hear some opinions.

Simulation of evaporating droplets on AFM-cantilevers
Haschke, T.1, Lautenschlager, D.1, Wiechert, W.1, Bonaccurso, E.2, Butt, H.J.21 University of Siegen, Faculty 11, Department of Simulation, Siegen, Germany
2 Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research, Polymer Physics Group, Mainz, Germany
The design of micro and nanoscale systems is a great challenge for modelling and simulation. In particular Lab-on-a-Chip-technology offers a wide spectrum of possible applications. Recently Bonaccurso and Butt (Bonaccurso & Butt 2005) presented a new approach to investigate droplet evaporation: They placed water droplets on rectangular, silicon atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilevers so that the resonance frequency and the inclination of the cantilever versus time could be measured. With the help of these values the evaporation process can be described and conclusions about the acting forces and interactions between solid, fluid and gas can be drawn.
This contribution deals with a simulation model for these experiments, the resonance frequency analysis as well as the simulation of the evaporating droplet on the cantilever. In the following chapters the experimental setup and analytical basics, the simulation model and the simulation results are presented.

On The West Bank, Cheers For Mahmoud Abbas
Tens of thousands of Palestinians across the occupied West Bank took to the streets Friday night to celebrate their formal bid for statehood at the United Nations. Watching on large television screens set up in city squares, Palestinians reacted with joy at the uncharacteristically impassioned speech given by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. From Ramallah, NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro talks with host Scott Simon.

Whether a person's injury will lead to chronic pain may depend on the level of communication between 2 parts of his or her brain, says a HealthDay article based on a study published in the current issue of Nature Neuroscience.
For the study, the researchers used brain scans to examine the interaction between 2 parts of the brain—the frontal cortex and the nucleus accumbens—in 40 patients who had recent onset of back pain for the first time. The patients were followed for 1 year.
By analyzing the scans, the investigators were able to predict whether the patients would develop chronic pain with an 85% level of accuracy. Brain regions related to emotional and motivational behavior seem to communicate more in those who develop chronic pain.
Although the study showed an association between levels of communication in the brain and chronic pain, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship, the article says.

What Ad?
I am an Ad block Plus user and will never disable it for the sake of your site. The tracking that ad-serving companies do is unacceptable to me and to anyone who understands the ridiculous invasion of privacy involved.
I only recently discovered your site and added the RSS feed, reading the occasional article and sharing it with friends. If you would rather not have 'scum' users like me on the site, just let me know in a reply to this thread and I will remove your feed from my reader and never return.
What Ad?
I choose to use FlashBlock, even when I turn off ABP to support the site. I still load a few ads each time I visit the homepage, but some ads are just too obtrusive/annoying and a huge waste of bandwidth. Thankfully, Michael got that ad pulled or I would have had to resort to using NoScript.
I'm a premium user who has to visit the main page in order to click "Forums" so I can login every 15 minutes, so you're damn right I'm going to use AdBlock or other "scum" to block the ads that I paid to get you to take away in the first place.
Even if I didn't pay premium though, I'd continue to do whatever the hell I damn well please with my computer, thank you very much. Thankfully the Internet is not (yet) a DRMed platform where content moguls can force unwanted advertisements down your throat; the freedom we have to decide what content we want to see (and waste our bandwidth on, because many of us are capped due to the same aforementioned content moguls) is in the hands of the users.
You'd think a site that promotes an operating system driven by free culture would understand the importance of allowing users the freedom to choose to opt out of shit like this. And frankly, even on a good day when you don't have full-screen HP ads, the remainder of the ads on this site are still extremely damn annoying.
How's that for a cuss-filled rant, Mike? Grow up, seriously.
There's some truth in that...
Flash ads suck up bandwidth and system resources and Michael should be reminded not everyone has a broadband connection. Many a time a page filled with Flash ads has managed to crash my browser..NOT a good thing if a site wants to keep the goodwill of visitors and members.
Also ads within articles should be small and static and not breaking up the flow of the articles.
I don't know what you are talking about. By the time one of those ads loads over my dial up line I've already shut down the computer, left the house, and am half way to the office

Apricot Glazed Ham
With all of the warm weather that we have been having lately I was thinking spring while contemplating my Easter menu this year. Ham is one of my favorite meals to serve for Easter and with spring on my mind I was thinking about a ham that was glazed with a light and fruity apricot glaze. I have used similar apricot preserve and mustard based glazes with other meats and I was looking forward to trying it out on a ham. Given that it takes a while to cook a ham it is perfect for weekends and holidays and despite taking so long they are actually pretty easy to cook.
Even though the asparagus in the store right now is not local, I could not resist picking some up as asparagus just screams spring. I had a bunch of meyer lemon pesto left over and I decided to finish my meal off with some meyer lemon pesto mashed potatoes. The apricot glazed ham turned out really well! The sweet and tangy apricot glaze worked wonders with the salty ham and it does not hurt to whip up some more of the glaze to serve with the ham as a sauce. This meal certainly has got me thinking about warmer days, but until then I now have a ton of leftover ham to enjoy and I have to say, that the leftovers are one of my favorite parts of a ham dinner!
Apricot Glazed Ham
(makes a lot of servings)Printable Recipe
1 (10 pound) ham
