text: I think he is half right. Of course as a rebuilding team, we are never going to be favorites to get to the play offs, but that point he makes about the team counting of Davis to be our best player. What about Gordon? I mean it is not impossible (very unlikely) that we could have both the MVP in Gordon and the ROTY in Davis. (just for the record, I think Davis has a much greater chance to be ROTY than Grordon of being MVP, but it is not impossible)

Baseball Falls Late in Game One at Belmont Abbey; Game Two Suspended until Sunday
March 24, 2012
Story Courtesy of Belmont Abbey Sports Information
BELMONT, N.C. - The Belmont Abbey baseball team evaporated an 8-1 deficit by scoring the last eight runs of the game, including a six-run sixth inning, to earn an exciting 9-8 win in the first game of a three-game Conference Carolinas series. The second game of the scheduled doubleheader was stopped after the top of the first due to lightning. The game will resume Sunday at 1:00 p.m. in the bottom of the first with Pfeiffer leading 2-0.
The two teams will play a nine inning game at the conclusion of the seven inning game. The records stand at 22-11 overall and 12-4 in Conference Carolinas for Belmont Abbey, while Pfeiffer is now 16-12 overall and 7-6 in Conference Carolinas.
Belmont Abbey struck first in the bottom of the first as Emilio Pagan drew a leadoff walk, moved to third on a single by Stephen Mullis, and then stole home as part of a double steal as Mullis also took second.
Pfeiffer countered with five runs on five hits in the top of the third, two coming on a homer by Dalton Lindley. The Falcons also used RBI singles by Jacob Yates and Jon Gray, as well as a run-scoring double by Kevin Price to move the lead to 5-1.
The lead grew to 7-1 in the fourth as Preston Lyon clubbed a leadoff homer, and Yates scored from third on a wild pitch after he extended the inning with a leadoff single, stole second and moved to third on a wild pitch.
Pfeiffer tacked on what turned out to be its final run in the sixth as Aarin Sharpe reached on a error by Pagan and moved to second on a single by Yates. After a pair of strikeouts Gray's seeing-eye single to left plated Sharpe to move the Falcons edge to 8-1, but the Falcons did not score again.
The Abbey began its comeback in the sixth in the bottom of the frame as it scored six runs on six hits to close the lead to 8-7 as it sent 11 men to the plate. Caleb Shore led off with a bunt single and moved to second on a walk to Ian Vazquez. After a flyout to center, Justin Vasquez singled to left center to load the bases. Pagan then worked a walk to plate Shore and close the lead to 8-2.
Joey Frabasile followed with a ringing double to left center that brought home Vazquez and Vasquez to inch the Abbey to within 8-4. After a pitching change, Mullis dropped a single to right, and moved to second on the throw, as Frabasile and Pagan scored to shrink the gap to 8-6. Jon Pilla kept the rally alive with a pinch-hit single to score Mullis to cut the lead to 8-7.
The Falcons did not score in the eighth, which set up the Abbey overtaking the game in the bottom of the inning. After a pair of flyouts to start the inning, Kyle Buchanan blasted a double to right center, and scored on Shore's triple to right center to knot the game at eight. Vazquez produced the winning run when his bunt single scored Shore from third to cap the comeback and give the Abbey a 9-8 lead. The Crusaders threatened to score again as Gabby Amor was hit by a pitch, followed by a walk to Vasquez to load the bases, but a groundout ended the inning.
Pagan moved from third to the mound for the top of the ninth and retired the side in order for his conference-leading ninth save.
Matt Parish picked up the win to move his record to 5-1. He retired both batters he faced in the top of the ninth, striking out one. Craig Bolton took the loss after allowing the winning runs to score on three hits in an inning of work, walking one. Pagan picked up the save after working a perfect ninth.
The Crusaders finished with ten hits as Mullis, Buchanan and Shore all had two. Frabasile and Mullis drove in two runs. Yates led Pfeiffer with four hits in five at bats, while Gray and Lindley each had a pair of hits and two RBI.

No one has faith in Rivers on this board, it seems. Only a few do and those are: me, nolaslim, Russy, and Razorpens. If I left you you out, sorry. But those are the believers that stick out to ne.
This year the Hornets should be fun to watch but the true ability to compete
will be next year when Lewis's contract comes off the books and we can decline
options on Aminu, Warrick and Henry and Mason expires. I expect the Hornets to pick up the team option of 2.15M for Vasquez. Here is what would be left...
PG: FREE AGENT, A Rivers, G Vasquez
SG: E Gordon, ROOKIE
SF: FREE AGENT, Darius Miller
PF: Davis, Anderson, Thomas
C: Lopez, Smith, ROOKIE
This would leave us with about 40 million in salary for next year with cap at
about 60M and luxuray tax not until 70M. That leaves close to 30 M for two
big-time free agents and two rookies. Here are some potential free agent
PG: UFA: C Paul (despite media attention highly unlikely), DJ Augustin
Due Qualifying Offers - S Curry, T Evans, and B Jennings
SF: UFA: J Smith, D Wright
Early termination option in contract - A Iguodala
Potential trade - Ideally would trade for scoring SF at trade deadline this year - R Gay top
target as Grizzlies need to fit Randolph, Gasol, and Conley under salary cap
(Gay is due 17.8M in 2013 and 19.3 in 2014)
Realistically, Paul is not coming back to NO so I would hope one of the three
PGs due a qualifying offer becomes available. Don't see Curry as an option as
they kept him over Ellis and Bucks have enough cash to keep Jennings. I think
we could add Evans for around 10M a season and Gay as our SF as well as 1-2
rookies to our young core and things could get interesting. Thoughts???
No one has faith in Rivers on this board, it seems. Only a few do and those are: me, nolaslim, Russy, and Razorpens. If I left you you out, sorry. But those are the believers that stick out to ne.
"Its important to us to bring in good people, people who can fit in the locker room and people you want to root and cheer for. People that want to win. Were trying to build for the long haul. -Dell Demps
add Lancebrou to that list ive been on the rivers band wagon way before we drafted him
Look at my avatar lol......
But adding Gay to the team would be a bad call. His salary is a cap killer, his production does not match nor exceed his play, and he is a very inefficient player on the offensive end.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Rivers will be the long-term PG. SF is a big question mark.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
No free-agent at PG. Rivers will eventually start this season and will be the love term answer at the point. What we need to worry about is SF and hope that Aminu made a jump this season.
Once Rivers gets the starting position, AD will probably be center. Then we'd be looking at a lineup of :
The scoring in that lineup is tremendous, taking all that pressure off of Aminu to provide any offense at all. All he would have to provide is stout D and an energizing dunk or two a game. That would come cheap. Aminu is absolutely capable of providing that D considering his length, and umm, coach. If he couldn't provide that, let him walk and try to do the same with Dmill. If everything goes as planned, there's absolutely no reason to have a scoring SF like Gay or someone.
Anyone with me here?
If Austin Rivers is not a starter or James Harden type 6th man, then I view that pick as a failure. But realistically, that won't happen. Rivers will be a starter or James Harden type 6th man by the 2013-2014 season. Please quote me on that.
SF is a question mark now and in 2013. My hopes are that Darius Miller steps up as our starting SF, and Austin wins the point this year. I like Greivis though... I just think Rivers has the potential to be a Derrick Rose-type PG if/when he gets stronger and more comfortable at the point.
X, Farouq and Miller. One of the three has to break out this year by the law of averages alone. So much athleticism and potential between the three of them, I hope they worked hard with Monty.
And again, Davis won't be moved to Center unless we use him as the Spurs use Duncan.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
I reckon the team would be pretty good eventually as is. And i am also one that believes in Austin. Bright future! Except when bandwagon fans come....
I agree we need to find a starting caliber player at the 3. X, AFA and Miller have good potential to turn into solid players and maybe concsistent players but not with flashing stats. I can deal with them if they play hard defense and hit their open shots and FT if Rivers Gordon Ryno and Davis carry the team in the future. I mean Meta World Peace is doing a solid job for the Lakers.
I still like Iggy or Wright as potential FA at 3.
Thx iNolaNightmare for counting me in !
"I go so hard, I go so mean... I'm so NEW ORLEANS" - Lil' Wayne"We not stopping at no stores man ! We staying on the gas !" - Tyreke Evans
Rivers will be the starting PG next year unless he just totally busts this season (which I highly doubt).
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
All Rivers has to do is not turn the ball over, make his open shots, and defend decently. He won't be asked to do too much.
I have faith in rivers....he plays with fire and seems to be a hard worker. Though I think he will struggle a lot this year. But I think he will develop in to a real good player.
2013/14 seems to be a good tank year if we want a SF with Wiggins and Parker both eligible
Follow me on Twitter - www.twitter.com/ryinthehottub
I believe in Rivers, the kid got a great background and work ethics.
We have to decide THIS OCTOBER if we want to pick up the options on rookie players for the 2013-2014 season.
So, we will know alot more about potential cap room around opening night.
Then Dell's wheeling and dealing with mess about with the figures throughout the season.

About Arab States
Jump To: IntroductionChallengesOpportunities
The Arab region is comprised of 22 countries in Northern Africa, the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean. The region has a population of about 350 million people, more than 50% of which are under the age of 25. With isolated exceptions, the region's principle language is Arabic.
The region faces various socio-political, gender, economic and environmental challenges.
Socially, the Arab region is facing a period of transition. The Arab Spring brought to surface the growing tension between authoritarian regimes and their citizens. Weak social, political and administrative accountability mechanisms and politically-oriented socioeconomic planning models have resulted in the neglect of large parts of the population. These nations face the challenge of forming new, accountable governments that reflect popular aspirations.
Gender inequality across the region is prevalent. Maternal mortality rates are high when compared to other regions with similar incomes. Statistics show that only 25% of Arab women participate in the labor force, half the average for developing nations. Because of the male-centric culture in many Arab societies, many women experience limited roles outside the home.
Human and income poverty reflect the convergence of social, economic and political exclusion. While 50% of the Arab population is rural, agriculture, the primary occupation in rural settings, accounts for only 15% of the Arab GDP. High unemployment rates prevail.
While Arab countries have made significant progress on several development fronts over the past 40 years, such as improving life expectancy and school enrolment, the region could have been more effective in translating its considerable wealth and potential into commensurate development gains.
In response to regional food insecurity, the Arab states can combine their financial, technical and environmental assets. The solution will involve resource management and organization. Sudan for example, is a country that could be used to grow large amounts of food because of its wealth in water and land resources. Policymakers have discussed the possibility of establishing a regional funding mechanism for this purpose.
The success of the current wave of political transition in the region is contingent upon a greater role for civil society, in the larger sense, in charting a new, more inclusive developmental course based on mutual accountability between the State and its citizens. UNDP has established a regional program for bolstering civil society entities to enable them to act as champions for social justice and to complement local efforts initiated by Country Offices in that respect.

The Chefs: Jennifer and Valencia Whole Foods
The Menu: Savvy Savories Vegan Pesto Pasta with sun-dried tomatoes
The Goods: I blame Editorial Assistant Hilary Pollack for my addiction to this pesto pasta. She bought it all the time, and she made me try it to understand her obsession. Now, I'm hooked. The roasted cashews add a nice cheese-like taste to this pesto. I could eat it every day. Stop me. Immediately after eating this savory dish, all I really want is something sweet. So it's a good thing I'm baking up the Chocolate Sugar Cookies Iced with Crushed Candy Cane Topping recipe from our Holiday Cookie Contest. I'm not the world's best baker so I'm glad I'm chatting with some of the best vegan bakers tonight at 6pm PT during our VegNews Twitter Chat to get some help.

Reputation. Market share. Cost control. Competition for talent. Ethical standards. There are many reasons why companies voluntarily adopt environmentally sustainable practices and engage their employees to help them manage carbon emissions and compete in a world of limited resources.
Leading companies stay well ahead of regulations and SEC guidelines, spearheading the drive for transparency. An increasing number of companies willingly submit their sustainability-related reporting to a degree of scrutiny similar to that of their financial statements. These companies look to Deloitte professionals to help them uncover the risks, costs, and opportunities that form the foundation of a lasting enterprise.

When Nubbins the cat was found, he was emaciated, riddled with birdshot, and had tumors hanging from both of his ears. But the minute he was removed from his carrier by his rescuers, he started purring. He knew he was finally safe; relief was here at last.
Dr. Patricia Wagner, a veterinarian at the ASPCA Animal Hospital, performed surgery on the sweet feline and fell in love with his kind demeanor. Soon after, Nubbins joined Dr. Wagner's household. He is incredibly grateful for his second chance and gets along swimmingly with the family's resident parakeet.
In fact, kitty and bird are stars of the 2014 ASPCA calendar. Check out this adorable behind-the-scenes video of Nubbins sitting for his photo shoot.
Have you received your 2014 calendar? Want another one for friends or family? (They make great gifts!) Make a small donation to the ASPCA, and we'll send you our 2014 calendar today. Thank you, as always, for your support. It makes stories like Nubbins' possible.
People that abuse animals do not deserve the blessing of being human. I'm thinking Nubbins could be given artificial ears. After all, cats need to funnel sound to pinpoint its original source.
I know donations rely on emotion. However, this is taking it too far.
Does 'The A' really need to be told that cats are predatory by nature?
Next time you want to tug on hearts, I certainly hope you do it in a more reponsible manner, thus minimizing the damage you are potentially causing with the message you are sending.
Cats & birds do not mix.
Nubbins, I am a dog girl, but I would take you home in a minute!! You have such beautiful eyes and I'm happy that you are in a great, loving home!!
We had a feisty rescue, "Doc" who had partial ear amputations caused by ear mites. He was a skinny less than 6lbs, sad & frightened neighborhood kitty who had been "put out" by his family because of their two large German shepherds who were never trained to love their kitty brother. Doc ate lizards and mice and voles to manage until he finally accepted food from us and came inside. He may have lived forever if he had been cared for always. How could his first family, having saved him as a tiny kitten out of a dumpster, just let him go homeless. He became the older brother to our Mommy Kitty and daughter Elsa Baby and managed to pass over the Rainbow Bridge after 4 years with us at 18. We all still miss his demand for our love and his sweet, sweet tiny face. Nubbins is a lucky guy and we wish him a long and happy life with his caring lovely family and feathered friend.
That is just great to see he survived all the horrors and had that grin. He looks really nice without the ears too.
God bless you Dr. Wagner for trying to and Successfully saving Nubbins life. I used to work at an animal shelter, I'm sure we would have euthanized him after the required 3 day hold. You can tell he is loving life!
Such an uplifting story. Nubbins has a adorable face, he is precious! Thanks for sharing his happy ending.
Nubbins is just so precious and such a precious being. He so deserves such a wonderful life with Dr Wagner and his parakeet friend. Thank you for this heartwarming tale.
Dr. Wagner deserves a huge round of applause from the entire world. I'd be happy to be the first.

Q:Is this product recommended for acne? I have pretty bad body acne but also dry skin :(Asked on 5/22/2015 by CCBunnie
1 answer
A:Aqua Mirabilis is the most gentle of our exfoliating body butters, so I'd definitely recommend it for any sore or irritated areas that need some exfoliation. You Snap The Whip is also a great detoxifying solid body butter if you needed something a bit more intense.Answered on 5/26/2015 by Alexander from Lush Direct
Q:My product melted! Help! I purchased a tin at the store and traveled with it from Las Vegas NV to CA. But by the time I got home my product was in liquid form. How can I save it? I've been waiting to see if it'll become solid again but haven't. Help!Asked on 6/23/2013 by Toni from Porterville Ca
1 answer
A:Aqua Mirabilis is made of a high concentration of butters that melt naturally at body temperature, so it's best to keep them in a cool dry place as much as possible! If it does melt, just pop it in the fridge and it will re-solidify and be fine to use!Answered on 10/3/2013 by Brandy from LUSH
Q:How many times can this be used? Im flying off in one month time and i will need the body butter for my month-long trip. Is it ok to bring the body butter along or should i just purchase it from Lush Korea?Asked on 4/27/2013 by LushieSG
2 answers
A:The number of uses you can get out of the product really depends on how you are using it and on what parts of the body. We usually say you can get about 5-10 uses, depending on how much you are using each time. Make sure to step out of the shower stream when you are applying it to get a longer life out of the bar!Answered on 9/18/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I would say bring it along packed in the appropriate Lush tin. If you need more you can purchase then, but this is a very travel friendly product. Just be sure to store it in the tin :)Answered on 6/5/2013 by Lindsay from Lansing, MI
Q:Which moisturizes and softens your skin better - AM or You Snap The Whip? and which one leaves more residue in the shower? Thanks!Asked on 5/14/2012 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:When it comes to the body butters all are moisturizing but we tend to advise on whats best based more on your skin type. The Aqua Mirabilis is suited to sensitive skins whereas the You Snap The Whip is more ideal for oily, blemish prone skin. There can be residue from both but so long as you give the shower a good scrub after there will not be a problem, we find showers with detachable shower heads most suitable.Answered on 8/30/2012 by Anonymous

Midwest Living Review
Wine trails are popping up all over the place, but you'll be hard pressed to find one that winds among such picturesque scenery as this onel. Established in 2009, the trail links 10 wineries stretching from Prescott, Wisconsin, just south of the Twin Cities, to Marquette, Iowa, about an hour north of Dubuque. The trail takes its name from the wineries' proximity to the Great River Road, which follows the Mississippi River from its headwaters to the Gulf of Mexico. This portion of the Great River Road lies in the Upper Mississippi River Valley (characterized by stunning bluffs) in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois. Dubbed the Driftless Area because it escaped the crushing glaciers that flattened much of the neighboring terrain, its soil composition and unique landscape help create the distinctive flavors you'll taste in Great River Road wines. Interestingly, the Upper Mississippi River Valley American Viticulture Area, also established in 2009, is the nation's largest. You'll notice most of the wineries are relatively new, and all craft wines, at least in part, from hybrids, such as Foch, Frontenac, La Crescent and Marquette, that can withstand the cold, wintry weather. Pick up a Wine Trail Passport when you make your first stop along the trail, then have it stamped by every member winery you visit. When your passport is full, hand it in to a member winery for a complimentary Great River Road Wine Trail glass. In January 2011, all completed passports will be put into a drawing for a free case of wine, courtesy of member wineries. When you're at the northern end, make sure to check out Vino in the Valley, a seasonal outdoor dining experience combining local wines, acoustic music and a pasta dinner, held under a tent near a vineyard. A final note: There's also a new Great River Wine Trail, which is causing some confusion for folks looking for the Great River Road Wine Trail. The first is comprised of wineries within 30 minutes of the Julien Dubuque Bridge in Dubuque, Iowa. That's an importance difference.

Christine Guerrazzi, playing at the No. 4 slot, won her first set 7-5, but couldn't hold on, dropping the second set 6-4 and third set 1-0 (10-6)
The Cardinals, who won a match over Southern Illinois, earlier in the day, took all three doubles matches for a 1-0 lead. Miami used new pairings from last week, but still fell 8-2 at No. 3 and 8-4 at No. 2. The closest match came in the top flight where Guerrazzi and Nimisha Mohan extended their opponents to 9-7. The RedHawk duo held a 5-4 lead early before the Cardinals broke and held for a 6-5 lead. After Miami tied the match at 7, Louisville was able to win the final two games to complete the doubles sweep.
In singles play, the Cardinals (4-0) dominated the first sets in five of the six matches. Louisville won the action at No. 3 by a 6-2, 6-2 count and at No. 2 by a score of 6-0, 6-3. The clinching point came at No. 6, which finished with a 6-2, 6-2 decision. In the No. 5 match, Ramona Costea fell 6-2 in the first set, and was down 2-5 in the second before rallying. She closed to within 5-4 before eventually succumbing 7-5 in the second set.
The RedHawks (0-2) return to action tomorrow when they travel to Cincinnati to face the Bearcats. The match, slated for Western Tennis and Fitness Club, will begin at 3 p.m.

^^^Thanks for the insight, I may do some asking around in the future, we'll see where rates go.
As to the other question....what about a HELOC? I know someone who purchased their home outright, then immediately took out a heloc for 50% of the value. That was in 2008 and there is no fee if you don't use it, but they have had 1.9% since the opening, and it's a 10 year thing. It's nice to have the money available at least, and in this method you aren't charged for anything unless you use it.

It doesn't work. Because it is pure unadulterated bullshit. It's magical thinking combined with confirmation bias - something especially easy to produce in an online echo-chambers such as dedicated forums.
If it did work then no one would ever starve to death, would they? And the objection about having negative subconscious thoughts that interfere doesn't make sense as people on a whole don't subconsciously want to die horribly.
Have a look at scientific studies of confirmation bias and magical thinking if that would help, although just walking away completely might be best. And see a good therapist.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, Nov. 10, 7 p.m. (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: Aloha Stadium (50,000) -- Honolulu, Hawaii. Television: NBCSN. Home Record: BSU 4-1, Hawaii 1-2. Away Record: BSU 3-1, Hawaii 0-5. Neutral Record: BSU 0-0, Hawaii 0-0. Conference Record: BSU 5-1, Hawaii 0-5. Series Record: Boise State leads, 9-3.
GAME NOTES: Former foes from the Western Athletic Conference get together as current members of the Mountain West this weekend, as the Hawaii Warriors extend their welcome to the Boise State Broncos at Aloha Stadium.
The Broncos, who until last week enjoyed the longest run in the BCS rankings, saw their dreams and aspirations come to a crashing halt on Saturday night as they suffered a 21-19 loss to San Diego State, at home on the blue turf no less. The defeat snapped a seven-game win streak and all but assured the Broncos that they'll be playing in yet another postseason game that doesn't take place on New Year's Day.
One of the most successful programs since the start of 2000, Boise State is no longer a member of the AP Poll either, even though when the team does lose it is only by a few points. In fact, of their last six defeats, the Broncos have been outscored by just a combined 14 points. Head coach Chris Petersen, now in his seventh season, still owns a staggering 80-8 record.
As for the Warriors, their transition to the MWC has been absolutely dismal, even with the addition of Norm Chow as the new head coach. Coach Chow has watched Hawaii get off to a 1-7 start, the first time that has happened to the program since 2000 when they finished 3-9 overall.
Last weekend, the Warriors was crushed by Fresno State in conference play, 45-10, on the mainland, marking the team's sixth straight loss overall. Hawaii has not beaten another Football Bowl Subdivision program since dropping Tulane (35-23) on Nov. 26 of last season, while the most recent conference win came over Idaho (16-14) in Moscow on Oct. 29, 2011.
Boise State torched the Warriors in a 42-7 decision two seasons ago, which means BSU now owns a 9-3 edge in the all-time series.
The Broncos dug themselves a hole with their opening kickoff to San Diego State last week, allowing the Aztecs to return the ball the length of the field in order to go up 7-0. Boise State also hurt itself by failing to simply convert its first PAT and from there the team had to play catch-up and never made it all the way back.
D.J. Harper managed to score a pair of rushing touchdowns in the first half and Joe Southwick tossed a one-yard TD to Dan Paul late in the fourth quarter, but a potential game-tying two-point conversion was intercepted and after that the writing was on the wall for the Broncos.
Southwick, who has at times struggled in an effort to direct Petersen's offense, has completed 65.5 percent of his passes for just over 200 ypg, but unlike his predecessor who rarely made mistakes, the signal-caller has tossed just 10 TDs and seven interceptions.
Harper has tried to balance the scales with his 794 yards and 12 touchdowns on 166 carries, but still BSU ranks 64th in the country with just 159.8 ypg on the ground.
The defense is what has kept the Broncos competitive in 2012, the team ranking eighth in the country with only 14.4 ppg allowed and sixth in pass defense with 159.1 ypg permitted. If not for the miscues by Southwick, the squad's turnover margin (plus-1.22 per game) would be even more favorable and have the team ranked higher than seventh nationally.
Trying to find positives on the Hawaii side is quite the challenge, given how much the offense has dropped off even since last season. The team has seemingly always struggled to produce on the ground and 2012 is no different with just 114.0 ypg, but now the passing attack is ailing as well with just 188.1 ypg which is just a fraction of what the squad was putting up during the June Jones era.
Against Fresno State, quarterback Sean Schroeder completed 16-of-30 passes for just 162 yards, was picked off once and sacked five times, while the defense surrendered more than 400 yards and four touchdowns in the first half alone. Schroeder now has the same number of interceptions as he does TDs (nine) this season and that is no way to try and compete against MWC squads that like to score in bunches.
Not only does Hawaii rank second-to-last in the nation in scoring defense (42.6 ppg), the squad makes it even harder on itself by placing dead last in turnover margin (minus-1.50 per game).
In the four game following their only loss in 2011, the Broncos scored an average of more than 47 ppg which is something the Warriors might want to prepare for this weekend.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Boise State 42, Hawaii 17

Yield guesses of 50 bu./acre. Double crop beans look good! Don't know what the yield will be like, but they could make hay! 3' high and look very good! First crop of sweet corn was great! Planted May 10. Second crop, tipped back 2". Planted June 2. Third crop, maybe 1 total inch of grain, mowed it down. June 15.
-- Jefferson County, N.Y.
-- Peoria County, Ill.
If you take USDA's numbers from this week and plug them into last year's final yield, you get something around 138 bu./acre. From what I am seeing and hearing from friends across the country, that sounds about right. If not, there must be a hell of a lot of 300-bu. corn in Nebraska and Wisconsin. I guess we will find out in about a week when the Pro Farmer Crop Tour gets out to estimate the crop. We all know they can get within 12 bu. of the real number… maybe.
-- Nobles County, Minn.
-- East Central Iowa
Desperate for hay, the owner of this baler and tractor was trying to harvest a parched field of grass on a neighbor's property in East Texas. A spark from the baler ignited hay inside, and the resulting fire spread to more than 100 acres. No houses burned, but the operator lost both machines plus his pickup truck, which was parked nearby, according to witnesses. (Texas AgriLife Extension Service photo by Robert Burns)

This field yielded 113 bu./acre. The dryland field was planted with soft white winter wheat, Stephens/Tubbs 50/50 mix. Bickelhaupt says crops in southeast Washington were plagued with stripe rust. "This field had three applications of fungicide to combat the rust," he says. Normally stripe rust isn't a problem, but due to wet springs it has made a comeback in the last two years. Yields for winter wheat on fallow ground have also been impressive, coming in at the 120 to 135 bu./ac. range. "Quality looks excellent."
In this video, you can watch Bickelhaupt, assisted by his daughters Anne and Jill, harvest their soft white winter wheat field. Video courtesy of wsugirlcoug's YouTube channel. (Read more wheat-related comments at AgWeb's www.VirtualWheatTour.com)

The book is a delight. A well told story that is also a peek into the rise of complex, rich, full of twists and turns unfoldment of ultimately 'simple' fundamental conditions. Not to mention how likable and involving the characters are.

Hear Michel Foucault's Lecture "The Culture of the Self," Presented in English at UC Berkeley (1983)
United States in the last years of his life, particularly his time as a lecturer at UC Berkeley, proved to be extraordinarily productive in the development of his theoretical understanding of what he saw as the central question facing the contemporary West: the question of the self.

From text:
"The technique of confession, central even to secular psychoanalysis, informs a subjectivity that, for Foucault, always develops under the ever-watchful eyes of normalizing institutions. But in "The Culture of the Self," Foucault reaches back to ancient Greek conceptions of "care of the self" (epimelieia beautou) to locate a subjectivity derived from a different tradition—a counterpoint to religious confessional and Freudian subjectivities and one he has discussed in terms of the technique of "self writing." (The Care of the Self also happens to be the subtitle of the third volume of Foucault's History of Sexuality, and "The Culture of the Self" the title of its second chapter.)"
The emergence of politically sophisticated societies may be assisted by faith in supernatural spirits but does not require "big god" religion
FastTFriend's insight:
From Article:
"I think the ordering of events these authors prefer is what one expects from first principles," says evolutionary biologist Mark Pagel of the University of Reading, UK. He says that societies became more politically complex as networks of trade and reputation emerged, and that the key to this process was language, not religion.
So what are MHGs for? "They are tools of control used by purveyors of religion to cement their grip on power," says Pagel. "As soon as you have a large society generating lots of goods and services, this wealth can be put to use by someone who can grab the reins of power. The most immediate way to do this is to align yourself with a supreme deity and then make lists of things people can and cannot do, and these become 'morals' when applied to our social behaviour."
We feel that we are in control when our brains figure out puzzles or read words, says Tom Stafford, but a new experiment shows just how much work is going on underneath the surface of our conscious minds.
Human sex redefined: The idea of two sexes is simplistic. Biologists now think there is a wider spectrum than that
As a clinical geneticist, Paul James is accustomed to discussing some of the most delicate issues with his patients. But in early 2010, he found himself having a particularly awkward conversation about sex.
A 46-year-old pregnant woman had visited his clinic at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia to hear the results of an amniocentesis test to screen her baby's chromosomes for abnormalities. The baby was fine — but follow-up tests had revealed something astonishing about the mother. Her body was built of cells from two individuals, probably from twin embryos that had merged in her own mother's womb. And there was more. One set of cells carried two X chromosomes, the complement that typically makes a person female; the other had an X and a Y. Halfway through her fifth decade and pregnant with her third child, the woman learned for the first time that a large part of her body was chromosomally male1. "That's kind of science-fiction material for someone who just came in for an amniocentesis," says James.
Sex can be much more complicated than it at first seems. According to the simple scenario, the presence or absence of a Y chromosome is what counts: with it, you are male, and without it, you are female. But doctors have long known that some people straddle the boundary — their sex chromosomes say one thing, but their gonads (ovaries or testes) or sexual anatomy say another. Parents of children with these kinds of conditions — known as intersex conditions, or differences or disorders of sex development (DSDs) — often face difficult decisions about whether to bring up their child as a boy or a girl. Some researchers now say that as many as 1 person in 100 has some form of DSD2.
When genetics is taken into consideration, the boundary between the sexes becomes even blurrier. Scientists have identified many of the genes involved in the main forms of DSD, and have uncovered variations in these genes that have subtle effects on a person's anatomical or physiological sex. What's more, new technologies in DNA sequencing and cell biology are revealing that almost everyone is, to varying degrees, a patchwork of genetically distinct cells, some with a sex that might not match that of the rest of their body. Some studies even suggest that the sex of each cell drives its behaviour, through a complicated network of molecular interactions. "I think there's much greater diversity within male or female, and there is certainly an area of overlap where some people can't easily define themselves within the binary structure," says John Achermann, who studies sex development and endocrinology at University College London's Institute of Child Health.
These discoveries do not sit well in a world in which sex is still defined in binary terms. Few legal systems allow for any ambiguity in biological sex, and a person's legal rights and social status can be heavily influenced by whether their birth certificate says male or female.
"The main problem with a strong dichotomy is that there are intermediate cases that push the limits and ask us to figure out exactly where the dividing line is between males and females," says Arthur Arnold at the University of California, Los Angeles, who studies biological sex differences. "And that's often a very difficult problem, because sex can be defined a number of ways."
That the two sexes are physically different is obvious, but at the start of life, it is not. Five weeks into development, a human embryo has the potential to form both male and female anatomy. Next to the developing kidneys, two bulges known as the gonadal ridges emerge alongside two pairs of ducts, one of which can form the uterus and Fallopian tubes, and the other the male internal genital plumbing: the epididymes, vas deferentia and seminal vesicles. At six weeks, the gonad switches on the developmental pathway to become an ovary or a testis. If a testis develops, it secretes testosterone, which supports the development of the male ducts. It also makes other hormones that force the presumptive uterus and Fallopian tubes to shrink away. If the gonad becomes an ovary, it makes oestrogen, and the lack of testosterone causes the male plumbing to wither. The sex hormones also dictate the development of the external genitalia, and they come into play once more at puberty, triggering the development of secondary sexual characteristics such as breasts or facial hair.

New research puts us on the cusp of brain-to-brain communication. Could the next step spell the end of individual minds?
FastTFriend's insight:
Consciousness remains mysterious. But there's no reason to regard it as magical, no evidence of spectral bonds that hold a soul in one head and keep it from leaking into another. And one of the things we do know is that consciousness spreads to fill the space available. Smaller selves disappear into larger; two hemispheres integrate into one. The architectural specifics aren't even all that important if Tononi is right, if the Cambridge Declaration is anything to go on. You don't need a neocortex or a hypothalamus. All you need is complexity and a sufficiently fat pipe.
Every time you make a memory, somewhere in your brain a tiny filament called a dendritic spine reaches out from one neuron and forms an electrochemical connection to a neighboring neuron. Now a team of biologists at Vanderbilt University has discovered more about how these connections are formed at the molecular and cellular level.

The computational approach is the orthodoxy in psychological science. We try and understand the mind using the metaphors of information processing and the storage and retrieval of representations.
From edge
Once you really solve a problem like direct brain-computer interface ... when brains and computers can interact directly, that's it, that's the end of history, that's the end of biology as we know it. Nobody has a clue what will happen once you solve this. If life can break out of the organic realm into the vastness of the inorganic realm, you cannot even begin to imagine what the consequences will be, because your imagination at present is organic. So if there is a point of Singularity, by definition, we have no way of even starting to imagine what's happening beyond that.

Keeping it Natural
Concrete subfloors can serve as the real floor. Concrete can be textured or colored for a unique and beautiful surface. Leaving concrete bare avoids all the resource usage and environmental impacts of wood, carpet or other flooring. It also lasts longer than carpet or tile.
Of course, skipping one layer of flooring also saves money, and may be healthier for your family. Concrete is easy to clean, has minimal volatile organic compounds, and it doesn't attract mold and other pollutants to your indoor environment.
It can also reduce energy costs. Because of the insulating properties of concrete, it is an ideal medium for radiant heat flooring, as well as passive solar heat gain.
These are some concrete examples of how to compensate for the potentially high environmental impact of concrete in construction. Be sure to seek out concrete with recycled content, minimize materials usage and take advantage of concrete floors.

I write from a Southern perspective because it's the only perspective I have. So it's not surprising I was infuriated when the A&E television network decided to spank Phil Robertson for something he said.
Now I don't know the "Duck Dynasty" folks but have my doubts that patriarch Phil is all that easy to spank. Just this week he blew off Barbara Walters' most interesting people show to go duck hunting.
The other day, a news blurb announced something had hit A&E's fan, and Phil was the one who threw it. He'd made comments in a magazine interview about his biblical beliefs regarding sexual preferences.
I personally couldn't care less what anybody believes as long as they don't shove collection plates in my face. As I understand his transgression, he said out loud what he thought and that didn't sit well with the gay-rights community.
After reading the interview text, I see why they won't ever watch "Duck Dynasty" again or buy any of their duck calls. Good for them. But apparently simply turning the channel isn't adequate punishment for expressing personal beliefs, so Phil was given a "time out."
Holy Honey Boo-Boo, he's got a reality show. That entire genre is short on propriety, so everyone should get over it.
You tune in to shows about naked couples traipsing around jungles. Or perhaps Jersey Shore, with young folks whose vocabularies have few words containing more than four letters, not counting hyphens.
If we want grown-ups, tune in "Real Housewives" from various locations showcasing hormonal imbalances. Because such programs represent "reality," it's likely sensibilities might get bruised now and then.
It's about personal preferences. I'm quite sure PETA folks don't view "Life Below Zero." Truth be told, I've become so domesticated I'm uncomfortable watching a trapped furry animal dispatched "humanely."
Applying my southern perspective mentioned in the first sentence of this column, it's my best guess the whole family will take a hike and turn off the light. I also suspect on their way out the door, they'll tell the A&E suits to go do something that's anatomically impossible.
Phil wasn't inciting anybody to violence, but I understand what huge transgression he committed. Nowadays there are particular groups in political vogue that threaten hissy-fit eruptions if they uncover "incorrect" opinions or thought.
Phil's preaching lit one of those fuses, but surely all of us entitled to our own Charlie Rich worlds behind closed doors. When I was a kid, I didn't have doors but fogged-up windows of my 1953 Mercury in drive-in movies was a very adequate substitute.
Phil had an opinion that he expressed in response to an interviewer's question. The public can vote him on or off the island by choosing what and what not to watch and buy, but in this case would put the speech police out of business.
I'm curious how or even "if" the network can put the "Duck Dynasty" humpty-dumpty back together again. I wonder how crow tastes compared to duck? We'll see.

California officials on Friday accepted a compromise offer from Delta farmers, who proposed forgoing a quarter of their water supplies due to the state's "unprecedented drought," The New York Times reports.
California's agricultural industry accounts for 80 percent of the state's water consumption per year, but farmers in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta own some of the state's most senior water rights — and The Sacramento Bee notes that they have historically held tight to those claims. Representatives for the Delta's nearly 4,000 farmers said they expected most to participate in the cutbacks, either by farming less of their acreage or planting crops that require less water.

Marques Haynes, arguably one of the Harlem Globetrotters' all-time best players, died on Friday in Plano, Texas, at age 89, The Dallas Morning News reports.
Haynes first signed on with the Globetrotters in 1948, for $400 per season. He quite nearly became the NBA's first black player in 1950, but missed that opportunity due to disagreements with the Globetrotters' owner. However, Haynes still became the first Globetrotter inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, in 1998.

"A guy asked me a long time ago if I ever thought I'd get into the NBA Hall of Fame," Haynes told Dallas Morning News reporter Robert Wilonsky in 2007. "My answer was: 'The world is my Hall of Fame.'"
The world was also Haynes' stage: Considered one of the best ball handlers in history, Haynes played before fans in 97 countries, in more than 12,000 games. Sarah Eberspacher
Wyoming has made it illegal to collect evidence of water pollution and other violations of environmental laws. The ban is designed to protect the state's cattle farmers, who often let herds graze on public lands and defecate near rivers and streams, polluting them with E. coli bacteria. State Sen. Larry Hicks said the ban would prevent environmentalists from interfering with important "economic activity."
A team of bomb disposal experts has safely removed an unexploded WWII bomb from a construction site in north London, near Wembley Stadium.
The 110-pound bomb was apparently dropped in the 1940s during Nazi air raids, The Telegraph reports. And it was discovered by accident, too: Construction workers near the stadium discovered the bomb while at work on Wednesday afternoon. Police haven't released the exact location where the bomb was discovered.
An army spokesperson told The Telegraph that the bomb posed a "genuine risk to life," and local homes and businesses were evacuated until the bomb was defused. Teams from the Royal Logistic Corps excavated the bomb, and the Royal Engineers created a blast wall around the site in case it accidentally exploded.
Soccer fans excited for the weekend matches at Wembley don't need to worry, though: The stadium tweeted that its weekend schedule is "unaffected" by the bomb. Meghan DeMaria
The Boy Scouts of America has banned water-gun fights, saying that it's not "kind" for scouts to shoot each other with "simulated firearms." The organization's new National Shooting Manual also forbids the use of potato guns and marshmallow shooters. The rules brought a wave of derision, with one critic saying the Scouts are turning "boys into a bunch of wusses."
Following the revelation that 27-year-old Josh Duggar, one of the stars of TLC's reality series 19 Kids and Counting, had admitted to sexually molesting multiple girls when he was a teenager, TLC has reportedly pulled reruns of the show — which aired its season 10 finale this week — from its schedule.
"Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret," Josh Duggar said in a statement. "I hurt others, including my family and close friends." Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, Josh's parents, issued a similar statement, saying their son's actions caused them "to seek God like never before."
The ultimate fate of 19 Kids and Counting is still up in the air, as the network has not yet stated whether it will continue with future seasons. Since the news broke, 2016 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee (R) has defended Duggar, who also resigned from his political post at the Family Research Council, an influential conservative group.
