Made these for our clinic. Most people liked them, as long as they like splenda. They were pretty easy to make.
Patient likes them. Make sure you allow enough time for the whipped topping to refreeze.
These sound just wonderful..going to make them right now. Thanks.
I'm not a very good cook, but I made these as a treat for our patients at Thanksgiving! They were a hit!

The accident happened at 11:00 p.m. about a half mile south of Kingston in Caldwell County when Jeffrey Richards, 27, struck a bridge and lost control of his 1989 Pontiac station wagon.
The impact caused the vehicle to overturn multiple times before it came to a rest in a cornfield.
Richards was transported by ambulance to Cameron Regional Medical Center where he is being treated for serious injuries.
Troopers are still investigating the accident and it is still unknown if Richards was wearing a safety belt.

Local Authors to Speak About Why Immigrants Are Driving the New EconomyPosted Oct, 11, 2010
The authors of Immigrant, Inc., Richard T. Herman and Robert L. Smith, of Cleveland, will discuss and sign their book at the Gerald H. Read's Center for International and Intercultural Education Global Friday session on October 15, 2010 from 12 to 1 p.m. in 200 White Hall.
Immigrant, Inc.: Why Immigrant Entrepreneurs Are Driving the New Economy discusses how immigrants have become America's competitive advantage in a global economy and warns of the perils of losing that advantage, especially as the nation seeks to pull out of the recession. Consider that immigrants have become more likely than native-born Americans to earn an advanced degree, to invent something and to be awarded a U.S. Patent. Herman and Smith will discuss an immigrant's culture of entrepreneurship that stems from education, thrift, family loyalty and ambition.
Herman is the founder of the Cleveland immigration and business law firm, Herman & Associates. Smith is a veteran Journalist who covers international and immigration issues for The Plain Dealer.
This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, contact Dr. Linda Robertson in the Center for International and Intercultural Education at email@example.com.

Mysterious Dubstep Producer Burial Set to Contribute Mystery to the DJ-Kicks Compilation Series
Remember that terrible VH1 show that attempted to help total losers pick up beautiful women with low self-esteem? Remember how the main dude with the funny hat was named Mystery? And you know how every article written about Burial always talks about how the identity of the South London dude behind the music is such a mystery? I was going to try and draw a connection between these two examples of "mystery," but frankly I couldn't come up with anything, because, well, there is no connection. But I needed some sort of lead, and my computer battery is about to die, so WHATEVER, there is no way I am deleting the previous sentences and starting all over again.
Perhaps you are a fan of Burial, the "mystery-shrouded," "elusive," and "anonymous" dubstep producer? Perhaps you hate VH1's The Pick Up Artist and everything related to the show? Well, if you answered yes to either of these two statements, then you are in luck. Because this article is in some way related to the musician, not the creep. See, Mr. Burial is the latest artist to add his name to !K7's DJ-Kicks series of compilations. Rumor has it that the producer will be doing some fancy work on his chosen gems and mixing them with material exclusive to the disc, set for release June 23 in the UK and July 8 in the United States.
Artist Bonnie Billy (Formerly Known As Prince) Preps Fourth LP Release For May; Jeffrey Lewis Asks If It's Worth Being an Indie Rock Star
The following contains excerpts from Jeffrey Lewis's "Williamsburg Will Oldham Horror":
Hi, my name is Jeffrey Lewis, and I was supposed to go chill out at the TMT offices with Hanky Panky today, but I ended up going to Major Matt's to remaster my old album. And on the L train in the morning, I was pretty sure I saw Will Oldham. He was wearing the same big sunglasses he had on stage at the Bowery Ballroom, and since I was feeling in need of answers, I just went right up and asked him. I said, "Will Bonnie Prince, Palace or whatever, what do you think about it? Is it worth being an artist or an indie rock star, or are you better off without it?" Cause, I mean, maybe the world would be better if we were all just uncreative drones. No dead childhood dreams to haunt us, a decent job, a decent home. And if we have some extra time, we could do real things to promote peace. Become scientists or history teachers or un-corrupt police at least.
"Come on Will, you gotta tell me!" I grabbed and shook him by the arm. The L train was leaving Bedford when 10,000 white twenty-somethings crowed on. He opened his mouth to speak, but it was lost in the rumbling of the wheels. We were thrown together in a corner and I yelled "Tell me, man, for real! You're living comfortably, I assume, even if you're not quite a household name. You've reached a pretty high level of success and critical acclaim."
The L train got to First Avenue, and a bunch of people piled out. I was starring into his sunglasses, and I was really freaking out. I was, like, "Steamboat Willie Bonnie Prince of all this shit, you're like the king of a certain genre, but even you must want to quit, like if you hear a record by Bob Dylan or Neil Young or whatever, you must start thinking 'People like me, but I won't be that good ever.' And I'm sure the thing is, probably Dylan himself too stayed up some nights wishing he was as good as Ginsberg or Camus. And he was like 'Dude, I'm such a faker, I'm just a clown who entertains and these fools who pay for my crap, they just have pathetic puny brains.' And Camus probably wished he was Milton too or whatever, you know what I'm saying?! So Will, will you be straight with me now that it's just us two on this train? Cause I was gonna spend some time and money today to remaster some dumb old album, and I saw you here on the L train and I was like 'Hey, is that Will Oldham?'"
And then he said to me, "Jeff Lewis, continue your good deeds." And he told me of God and music and his upcoming CD release. I sat there staring at my reflection in his big fuck-all sunglasses and thought how Lie Down In The Light will surely rock the masses. Joined by the likes of brother Paul Oldham, Emmett Kelley of the Cairo Gang, Shahzad Izmaily, and Ashley Webber, Bonnie's new album is due May 19 in the UK and just one day later in the states via Drag City. Then we arrived at Sixth, and he said he had to make a transfer. He took the V Line onto Queens (which sucks), but I was satisfied with his answer.
Lie Down In The Light tracklist:
Is That Your Dangling Modifier, Or Are You Just Happy to See Me? Talibam! Set to Tour, Release Many Things
Having released both their first studio album Ordination of the Globe Trotting Conscripts and their first "official" LP The Excusable Earthling (TMT Review) last year, Talibam! are following up with many releases this year. So many, in fact, that I now have to bust out the bullet points:
- split 7-inch with But God Created Woman on Holidays Records
- 10-inch on Wallace Records
- split 12-inch on Thor's Rubber Hammer
- limited-edition, 40-minute cassette on Stop Scratching tapes
- CD featuring a collaboration with The Peeesseye
- limited-edition cassette on Scumbag Tapes
Talibam! will also at some point head back into the studio to record their second studio album this year, but not before their upcoming tour, which includes their first Scandinavian stint and a headlining slot at the Summer Breeze WHPK 88.5 Festival. I haven't seen them live yet, but they're already in my top five favorite live acts.

RIAA Reports 23% of Revenue from Digital Music, Vinyl Sales Up
You knew this already. CD sales are going down, while digital music and vinyl sales are going up. Just last week, the RIAA released a PDF file that includes the total 2007 shipment statistics, which not only confirms these specific trends, but includes other interesting ones.
First, here's the physical chart:
You'll notice that vinyl LP and EP shipments went up 36.6% compared to last year. Fetishists want their fidelity, and since a lot of vinyl now come with free digital downloads, it makes complete sense. Meanwhile, SACDs (Super Audio CD) lowered a total of 73% compared to 2006, showing how the bells and whistles added onto the CD format -- which itself lowered 17.5% compared to last year -- have done nothing but confuse consumers.
Interestingly, vinyl singles went down 58.5%, while CD singles went up 51.5%. Perhaps it's due to the trend of some DJs converting to digital turntables coupled with the bargain bin recycling mentality of 12-inch buyers? Actually, with such an unfocused market, there could be many reasons for this (marketing, availability, etc.). But there's no doubt that the emphasis of the so-called vinyl resurgence is on full-length albums.
Now, here's the digital chart:
It's clear that everything on this chart indicates a rise in digital music, except of course on the subscription end (which has still yet to see real mainstream acceptance/marketing). The percentage changes aren't as pronounced as it was from 2005-2006, but with digital music already accounting for 23% of RIAA's total revenue, it'll be interesting to see what happens next year. Contrary to the physical chart, digital music is still ruled by single tracks, not albums.
Since these statistics are only for RIAA music, it'd be especially worthwhile to see figures for independent music. I'm guessing the rise in vinyl and digital would be equally, if not more, dramatic.
Glastonbury Lineup Leak Blamed on Printer, Full Lineup Revealed Today
Here's another reason why the NME is funnier than The Onion. Yesterday, the NME revealed the lineup for Glastonbury Festival 2008 and claimed the story as a "world exclusive." However, not only did the "exclusive" contain factual errors, but it also only reported three stages (out of eight). Turns out, the NME somehow obtained a leaked version of an incomplete lineup, which fest organizer Emily Eavis blamed on... a printer? Weird. BUT BOY DID NME'S HITS GO UP.
Well, I'm proud to report our "world un-exclusive": Glastonbury has officially announced the full lineup for this year's festivities. Supporting headliners Jay Z, Kings of Leon (ugh), and The Verve will be hundreds of artists, like Spiritualized, Leonard Cohen, The National, Jimmy Cliff, John Cale, Battles, Kool Keith, My Morning Jacket, Manu Chao, and more, spread across eight different stages. And I'm going to see every single one of them.
Glastonbury 2008 will be held June 27-29. Check out the full lineup here (no, Radiohead aren't on there), and don't forget to read about the biodegradable tent pegs! Can't have enough biodegradable tent pegs.
Fiery Furnaces Get to Tour While I Am Forced to Make a Living Reporting Their Tourdates, That's Democracy for You!
You know, here at the TMT offices, we have things "pretty good" by office-work standards (well, maybe not by Google's office-work standards or anything, but still). I mean, heck, most people would love to have a laid-back gig like this. We get to write and bullshit about bands and music all day; Mr P got us a Jack La Lanne juicer this past Christmas (or as we call it "The Mimosa Machine"); we've got that sweet Back to the Future pinball machine in the lounge; we don't really have to roll in until like 11:00 AM (the tourdate kid just kinda punches us all in at 9 so the books look legit); aaaaaand we get TONS of free promos (the next two Radiohead albums are gonna be awesome, by the way, but the three after that are a bit of a retread).
All in all, I dare say that we've got it made.
But despite all of the glitz and glamor, there's still a part of me that longs for... I don't know, MORE. Like, sometimes, right in the middle of the daily TMT Uno game, I'll catch myself daydreaming: Man, if only I could be in an indie rock band of my own! Take the Brooklyn-via-Chicago avant-rock duo the Fiery Furnaces. They are going on tour next month in support of last fall's Widow City (TMT Review), and I bet being on the road is frickin' awesome! Especially for those crazy, prog-fusion a-holes! If only I were a touring member of their band... then I'd be happy. Then I'd be fullfilled. Then I'd MAKE the news instead of just cleverly reporting it! Sigggghhhhh, that'll be the day...
...But then, someone invariably shouts-out "Uno!" and it's back to lousy, old reality again.
Oh well... Mimosa, anyone??

Guitarspotting: Guitar Junkies Get Their Fix at the U.S. Premiere of Rhys Chatham's "Les 100 guitares"
Sit down. Me and your sister, and your ex-girlfriend Jamie, and your roommate, and that creepy guy who fixes things up around the apartment complex want to have a talk with you. We know you've been going through a lot, but I think it's time we sat down and had a real discussion. Lately, all the music you've been listening to has been so loud, so full of six-strings, so -- rock 'n' roll. We're doing this because we love you. This is an intervention. We think you display some of the classic signs of being a GUITARAHOLIC.
That's why we want you to stay as far away from Williamsport, Pennsylvania on Friday, May 23 as possible. The temptation of attending Rhys Chatham's new composition "Les 100 guitares: G100" could just be too much. This is the first time Chatham will be performing any of his guitarcentric compositions in America. The man is dangerous to people in your condition -- he's a classically-trained musician who cut his teeth in the world of 100 guitar pieces in the late 1970s with luminaries like Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, and Glenn Branca. Chatham's latest piece is a reworking of his "Guitar Trio" composition and will be performed alongside Robert Longo's "Pictures for Music," a film that was originally used in some of Chatham's first performances.
And who will be rocking the 100 guitars, you ask? Well, certainly not you. Unless you are a member of the Pennsylvania Uptown Music Collective, Akron/Family, USA is a Monster, Town and Country, Megafaun, San Agustin, or ex-Swans drummer Jonathan Kane. It's certainly no place for you to be at this time. What you need is some time away -- perhaps a high school flute competition would be just what you need

Beck's Experience Argument Is Bogus; It's Time for Some Sea Change
Top three reasons Beck (a.k.a. Bek David Campbell) should withdraw from music now:
1. His experience argument is bogus. Even if it were true, experience is historically a poor predictor of musical success. Further, anyone who claims to be prepared to be a musician "from day one" is lying -- no experience can prepare you for being a musician.
2. If Beck decides to continue trying to be a musician, his success will become a lesson in how other humans should achieve power: marry well; put up with any humiliations your husband/wife throws at you, and then, if you fight dirty and ask your husband/wife to teach you guitar, you might be able to ride their coattails to your "own" musical success.
3. Beck is relying on the laziness and stupidity of the American people to attack other musicians unfairly: through lies, distortions, and other unconscionable means, such as recording an album with Danger Mouse and re-releasing Odelay earlier this year. It just goes to prove the most dangerous place to be in America is between Beck and a music stage.
Time to step aside, Beck. It's just not your time.
Search, Seizure, and Destruction: Atlanta Officials Destroy $20 Million Worth of Pirated Material; Thousands of copies of Madonna's Confessions Remixed, Gone. Just Gone.
Somewhere in Atlanta there's a dumpster filled with $20 million worth of shredded CDs and DVDs, destroyed by RIAA, MPAA, and Atlanta Police officials last week in what was the largest destruction of seized property in recent U.S. history.
Destroyed at the Atlanta Police Department Headquarters, the illicit property seized in a series of raids was estimated to have a market worth of $20 million, though it's impossible to imagine anyone paying market value for an advanced rip of Nas' Nigger packaged in a Ziploc® baggy with a grayscale inkjet printout of the cover. But you just never know.
"Individuals selling cds for cheap on the street corner are not just small-time peddlers -- they are fronts for larger criminal organizations that steal music by the millions of cds," stated Brad Buckles, Executive VP of the RIAA's Anti-Piracy League. "These groups are also often involved in other illegal activity such as narcotics and weapons trade [and] threaten the health and safety of Atlanta's neighborhoods." And by saying so, Buckles effectively overstepped boundaries by assuming far more than he's paid to assume.
Fulton County Sheriff Myron Freemon, District Attorney Paul Howard Jr., and U.S. Director of MPAA Anti-Piracy Operations Kevin Suh (all in attendance for this monumental day of justice) couldn't have agreed more.
Defense for the unprecedented destruction of perfectly good material also included the high costs of piracy to the U.S. economy. Reportedly, global music piracy has (dubiously) cost the U.S. economy $12.5 billion in lost revenue, 71,000 jobs, and $2 billion in wages to U.S. workers, at an estimated $1.6 billion annually. The worldwide motion picture industry purportedly lost $18.2 billion in 2005 alone as a result of piracy, attributing $7 billion in loses to internet piracy and $11 billion to hard-good piracy, such as bootlegging and illegal copying.
"We want to encourage consumers to purchase DVDs from legitimate retailers and from legal download sites to ensure they are buying genuine high quality copies of the movies they love and to help protect one of America's greatest exports," said Suh. So, the best way to "encourage consumers" was a massive police seizure and destruction event? Boy, I'm encouraged already.
Faust Tourdaten bring Sommerfreude!
Naughty cabarets. Rainer Werner Fassbinder. My surname. Germany has given us so much over the years, and most certainly one of those greatest contributions is Krautrock. And while most of those things will likely NOT be coming your way soon (because they are either immobile, dead, or penniless), take heart! music fans, because the legendary 1970s Krautrock innovators Faust are conducting a mini-tour! Original members Zappi Diermaier and JH Peron are bringing some friends on the road to practice their English language skills in Ireland and the UK.
And be sure to lookout for In Autum, a 3CD/1DVD boxset of live material from their 2005 UK tour.
Ah, sehr, sehr gut!

Mississippi Rebels
Alabama Crimson Tide
Common logic in this NCAA football betting affair is that the Alabama Crimson Tide are going to be a very angry bunch after losing their first game in two years last Saturday. However, the Ole Miss Rebels have been in this type of spot before, and they are going to be giving it their all under the lights in Tuscaloosa.
Ole Miss is starting to look better and better as the weeks go by. All of a sudden, after getting held to just 41 points in two games against the Tulane Green Wave and the Vanderbilt Commodores, the 'O' has exploded for 97 points against the Fresno State Bulldogs and the Kentucky Wildcats. It is clear that QB Jeremiah Masoli is starting to get his legs under him. Though his passing yardage totals are down in recent weeks, five of his six TD passes came in these last two games, proving that he is starting to really get used to these receivers. RB Brandon Bolden is the start of the offense that Masoli gets the ball to. He has rushed the ball 76 times for 518 yards, and he leads the team with seven total touchdowns. HC Houston Nutt's defense has been absolutely atrocious, but when you have an offense that can score with anyone in the nation, it doesn't necessarily matter all that much. Running the ball is relatively hard on the Rebs, as they are only allowing 115.6 yards per game.
Alabama now knows what it feels like to have to come back from somewhere aside from the top of the country to make the National Championship Game. There is clearly no margin for error to make the title game now, especially in the SEC, where another loss could knock it out of the SEC Championship Game. This defense, which looked so dominant prior to last week was absolutely torched for 35 points by the South Carolina Gamecocks in Columbia. The offense had some troubles last week as well, and if that stays the case, the Tide are going to be in a lot of hot water. RB Mark Ingram has been totally MIA over the last two weeks, which really could end his quest to become the second man ever to win the Heisman Trophy twice. QB Greg McElroy has thrown for 1,298 yards this year in six games, but he now has a blemish on his record for the first time since he was in eighth grade. McElroy might be without WR Julio Jones, his top receiver, as Jones broke a bone in his hand last week. He played through the pain last week, but it's up in the air whether he'll be available to do the same this week or not.
This is the second straight week in which the Tide are playing a team off of a bye week, which as we already proved last week, is a very dangerous thing. Ole Miss has its legs under it, and Masoli knows what it's like to play in the biggest games from his days with the Oregon Ducks. Another upset? Probably not. But a scare from out of nowhere is a very legitimate possibility for Alabama.

Cambodia tightens security for 'mother of all summits'
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia—Cambodian authorities on Friday kept a tight watch over vital installations here, posting policemen at nearly every corner ahead of what the Philippine ambassador described as the "mother of all summits" to be attended by world leaders.
The expected star of the show is US President Barack Obama whose attendance at the 21st Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit and related summits is taken as a reflection of the growing importance of the bloc, which will try to mend rifts caused by maritime tensions with China.
Police patrols
"The security is much tighter than in April (for the 20th Asean summit, also held in Phnom Penh) since it has been announced that President Obama is coming," Philippine Ambassador to Cambodia Noe Wong said.
Police carrying truncheons on Friday patrolled all major roads and intersections, including Russian Boulevard facing Peace Palace, venue of the Nov. 18-20 meetings.
A platoon of security forces in black uniform and brandishing assault rifles marched in file along the busy thoroughfare before entering the summit venue.
Military jeeps carrying heavily armed officers cruised the streets alongside tuktuk rickshaws and motorcycles favored by the locals.
Information Minister Khieu Kanharith, also the government spokesperson, told Xinhua news agency that 10,000 security forces, excluding security details brought in by the arriving heads of state and government, were deployed to safeguard the summit.
Nearly 2,000 journalists from 40 countries have registered with the information ministry to cover the summit, he added.
The summiteers
Other leaders who will attend the summit are the heads of Asean countries, as well as of their partners, including Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, Cambodia's spokesperson said.
Asean groups the Philippines, the host Cambodia, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand, Burma (Myanmar), Laos and Vietnam.
During a courtesy call by reporters from the Philippines on Friday, Wong noted that it would be Obama's first visit to Cambodia, and there was excitement about how his presence could serve Asean ends.
On the Philippine side, Wong said there was an undercurrent of hope that the US president could boost the Philippines' position on the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) dispute with China, considering the "special relationship" between the two allies.
Although President Aquino, who arrives here on Saturday, is not scheduled for any bilateral meeting, Wong said there would be plenty of opportunities for the leaders to have informal talks during breaks in the program.
"There will be windows for bilateral talks, considering how many coffee breaks there are during the meetings," he said.
Mr. Aquino is expected to raise a number of concerns at the summit, chief among them the drafting of a binding code of conduct that will guide negotiations between claimants to territory in the West Philippine Sea.

Parents to voice academy views; Public meetings to gauge opinion.
ALMOST 20 public meetings will be held to give parents their say on plans for a pounds 44.6m city academy in two neighbouring Northumberland communities.
Education bosses have unveiled the extensive consultation, which will be used to gauge public opinion on proposals for the all-age academy for 2,725 students in Ashington and Newbiggin-by-the-Sea.
Two of the meetings are organised by the academy sponsors - the Church of England and the Duke of Northumberland - who will outline their roles at meetings in the two communities. The other 17 meetings will be at schools, each with separate sessions for staff, governors and the public.
They start on February 28 with a meeting at Abbeyfields First School in Morpeth, from where pupils with special educational needs would transfer to the proposed academy on the site of Hirst High School in Ashington.
Others will be at each of the nine schools in Hirst High pyramid, which are due to close next year and be replaced with an academy at four sites in Ashington and Newbiggin.
They are Hirst High, Seaton Hirst Middle and Coulson Park, Welbeck, Alexandra and Hawthorn First Schools in Ashington, plus Newbiggin Middle and the village's Moorside and Windsor First Schools.
Six meetings will be held at other schools in Ashington and at Lynemouth First School, which would transfer from the Hirst pyramid to become a feeder school for Ashington Community High School. The scheme involves building a main academy at the Hirst High site - with secondary, primary and special needs elements - and three primary academies at the Newbiggin Middle and Ashington's Alexandra and Hawthorn sites.
County council executive member for children's services Jim Wright said: "I am delighted that consultation is now under way as I believe improvements and investment in Hirst schools is absolutely necessary. Hirst children deserve the best possible educational opportunities.
"The proposed model which we're consulting on would see a massive investment in school buildings in Hirst. It also offers huge opportunities to explore innovations that may drive up standards in this area."
The meetings, all at 7pm, will be at Abbeyfields First on February 28, Hirst High on March 3, Welbeck First on March 4, Ashington High on March 5, Seaton Hirst Middle on March 6, Alexandra First on March 10 and Hirst Park on March 11.
They continue at Lynemouth First on March 12, Newbiggin Middle and Central First on March 13, Moorside and Wansbeck First on March 17, Hawthorn First on March 18 and Windsor First and Bothal Middle on March 19.
The sponsors' meetings are on March 26 in Ashington, at a venue to be decided, and March 31 at Newbiggin sports centre.

Be informed, but beware of mistruths, says the author.
Scientists now claim that carbohydrates could be more addictive than cocaine. But regardless of what your personal preference of mind-altering substance is, if I were to tell you that crime in India has actually gone down in the last decade, would you believe me? Perhaps your eyebrows might elevate themselves in the manner of that epitome of rationality, Science Officer Spock from Star Trek. But what you should do as a good citizen is to verify this from the very excellent data.gov.in portal that makes everything from family welfare statistics to historical crime data available in a format any of your MBA-infected relatives should be able to process with a pirated copy of Microsoft Excel.
One of the good things about open data is that the average person can verify the kind of bovine ordure that often passes for insight and inference on TV news channels. The bad thing, however, is that with more data comes the potential for a whole new wave of fallacious analyses.
For instance, has crime gone up or has crime reporting gone up? Let's say, hypothetically, that the jail occupancy numbers from 1953 to 2012 for the State of Andhra Pradesh show a steadily rising trend with a sudden drop in the 2000s, followed by a steady rise again. You can interpret this data in many ways. The opposition could say that this is symptomatic of continuously deteriorating governance. The Police could say that this is proof that they are getting better at catching criminals over time. The chap in charge of prisons in the State could say that it's indicative of his department's commitment to increasing jail capacity all the time. The government in power during that sudden drop in the 2000s could claim that it had a Sherlockspalli Holmesreddy whose magic wand pulled the inexorable crime rate line down. The opposition then could argue that it had nothing to do with better policing but the choice to migrate government computers from MS Office to Open Office, a move that resulted in improper use of spreadsheet software thus resulting in the alleged drop in crime. I could argue that the trend correlates directly to the quality of biriyani served in prisons and that the drop in 2000 is due to a change in caterer. And finally, someone with some common sense might even ask if jail occupancy, crime reporting and crime are different things altogether.
Another common fallacy in the way we interpret data is called the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy. Imagine a washed-up retired cowboy who has nothing better to do than to sit in his backyard and fire his gun at his barn's wall randomly. Being quite a poor shooter, the bullet holes on the wall are all randomly spread out, except in a few places where the holes seem clustered together. Now, he goes and paints shooting targets centred around these clusters so that casual observers, looking at his barn's wall, will infer that he is a brilliant sharpshooter.
This fallacy works because our brains are all inherently wired to look for patterns while ignoring noise. This ability was extremely useful for a long period in mankind's history, especially when there were no Saravana Bhavans to order dosa from. Hunter gatherers had to make quick decisions based on pattern recognition to avoid becoming lunch for a larger predator. But in today's world, this is a big problem because the ability to see the noise and ignore the illusion of a signal is pretty much the skill that will help you avoid becoming lunch for large predators like governments, companies and the news media.
When I was growing up, more kids were buying books about an obscure French apothecary named Michel Nostradamus than books about Statistics and Probability. Nostradamus' fame was based on his alleged ability to "predict" world events before they occurred. There was, however, one small catch. His language (16 century poetic French) was so obscure that there was absolutely no way in which one could usefully predict something that has not happened yet. But one could unearth numerous patterns and hints that "proved" that he had predicted events that happened after his death but well before ours. He was a classic case of the sharpshooter fallacy in play. It's very tempting for us to look at the few cases in which he seems to have got things right while completely ignoring a large proportion of what is essentially just questionable French poetry.
Incidentally, the sharpshooter fallacy is exactly how astrology works as well. A palm reader will tell you many things, including perhaps that one odd item that you felt was so true about yourself that you are willing to completely ignore all the incorrect stuff he told you. The very fact that a parrot could pick out your fortune should hint to you that it's a combination of chance + sharpshooter fallacy.
The news, especially on TV, is riddled with this problem. What is largely anecdotal is what is passed off as analysis. Celebrity sound-bites are bizarrely used to lend credence to flawed analysis. Of course, this wasn't a problem in the 1980s because Doordarshan spent more time letting us know that Giani Zail Singh did some ribbon-cutting at a foundation-stone-laying ceremony somewhere instead of passing off rare events as indicative of scary patterns, as the news does today.
So stop watching TV and read conflicting views and dig up real data about news stories before synthesising your own worldview. Getting all your news from TV is like snorting only cocaine in powdered sugar to get all your carbohydrates.

When Seahawks brash cornerback Richard Sherman acknowledges that someone does something well, he really must be impressed. Sherman is usually frank in his assessment of players and teams. Before the Redskins playoff game, he said "he wasn't impressed with the Washington receiving corps." Obviously Roddy White and Julio Jones, both receivers have a good combination of size and speed, and flash enough talent to warrant Sherman to be respectful. "They're two of the best in the league. They're two of the best out there right now as individuals. For a tandem, they're probably the top tandem out there," according to Curtis Crabtree of profootballweekly.com. "I think Roddy is craftier of a route-runner," Sherman said. "He uses different tricks and things. You can see that he's a veteran when he's route-running. Julio runs hard routes and plays the game more physical. I think he's stronger in his routes and uses his body more." "This is probably the best pair [of receivers] and pair [of cornerbacks] that you could match-up, and because of the size, and because of their physical nature in the way that they play, it's going to be really exciting to see," Carroll said. var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

Porthilly is a small coastal settlement on the east side of the River Camel estuary in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated immediately south of the larger village of Rock approximately four miles (6.5 km) northwest of Wadebridge.[1][2]
The settlement is in the civil parish of St Minver Lowlands.[3] It is on the south side of Porthilly Cove, an estuarine bay with a level intertidal beach.[1]
St Michael's church, an ancient chapelry of St Minver parish, stands on the seawall above the cove. First mentioned in a deed dated 1299, the building has Norman features and was substantially restored in 1867. It has a chancel and nave, a south transept and a bell turret containing one bell.[4]
In the churchyard to the south of the church is a listed grade 2 medieval four holed cross.[5]

Washington State boasts 3,200 miles of shoreline, 7,800 lakes, and 50,000 miles of rivers and streams. According to the Washington State Department of Ecology, Puget Sound has the highest per capita boat usage in the country. Given the high number of boaters in our state, the new law that went into effect on July 28, 2013 will affect many people and hopefully will increase boating safety statewide.
New boating safety bill (Senate Bill 5437) strengthens the penalties for boaters who are caught driving under the influence. The law enacts changes as follows:
· increases the penalty for Boating Under the Influence (BUI) from a misdemeanor to a gross misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum fine of $5,000 and 364 days in jail.
· allows for implied consent, meaning an officer can require a boat operator to take a breath or blood test if the officer believes the operator is boating under the influence; if the operator refuses the test, they could be issued a $1,000 civil infraction.
· gives marine law enforcement officers the ability to hold negligent or reckless boaters accountable, and gives the authority to issue citations for vessel accidents they did not witness.
· was updated to reference the breath and blood testing procedures used in DUI cases.
· was updated with marijuana references that mirror language in Initiative 502, which made the recreational use of marijuana legal.
· clarifies that a boater's refusal to submit to a breath or blood test cannot be used as evidence in a court of law.
· clarifies that rented vessels must have all safety equipment, be properly registered, and meet all other state requirements.
To get answers to frequently asked questions about boating accidents, please see our FAQ page.
As put forth in the new law, when a law enforcement officer is investigating a vessel accident and it's determined a boat operator caused the accident by breaking a boating safety law, the officer can arrest the operator for criminal violations or issue a citation for an infraction. Previously, law enforcement officers possessed the authority to arrest a vehicle operator for criminal violations and issue citations on land but not on the water. This new law will allow for the same authority for marine law enforcement officers.
A boat driver is considered to be under the influence of alcohol or any drug if:
· the person has 0.08 grams or more of alcohol per two hundred ten liters of breath as proven by a breathalyzer test;
· the person has 0.08 percent or more by weight of alcohol in the person's blood, as proven by a blood test; or
· the person is under the combined influence of or affected by intoxicating liquor and any drug.
We dearly hope that these new, increased penalties will deter boaters from drinking and driving. With so many people out on Washington's waterways, and such clear evidence that boating under the influence is just as dangerous as driving under the influence, boaters need to stay sober and aware of their surroundings to make sure a fun day out on the water doesn't turn into a crisis.

The Haverford Wellness Center, one of the nation's leaders in diagnosing and treating Lyme disease, has launched a new website devoted to providing the most up-to-date information on the accurate diagnosis and treatment and cure of this highly debated disease.
Havertown, PA (PRWEB) May 20, 2009 -- The Haverford Wellness Center officially launched a new web site today that is dedicated to giving advanced, yet clear, information on Lyme disease. It is designed to be a starting point for those who suffer from Lyme disease, helping the patient to get the proper diagnosis and treatment for the troublesome condition at the renowned facility.
Lyme disease has always been one of the most difficult diseases for the medical community to tackle. Since it can start with the bite of a tick, Lyme disease is prevalent all across the United States. Because it is so difficult to diagnose, it is full of medical controversy.
Unlike the majority of medical diseases, there is no single test to prove someone does not have lyme disease. Yet, if a test comes back negative, many clinics, doctors and healthcare plans will just take it as fact that someone does not have Lyme disease. As the Haverford Wellness Center has shown over and over again, this is simply not true.
How do you know if you have lyme disease? Medical Director Dr. Domenick Braccia said: "Lyme disease is difficult to diagnose. It is known as 'the great pretender' because it mimics the symptoms of many other conditions. Patients get ping-ponged around the medical system because general doctors simply don't have the expertise to properly

Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra
Sharp Ears with Ward Stare
In our Sharp Ears series, musicians are talking about listening and what excites them. In this podcast, the new Music Director of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Ward Stare, explains to Classical 91.5 morning host Brenda Tremblay why hearing certain pieces of classical music LIVE can be a revelation.
Manhattan is for real
Storms from the Pit
The RPO in NYC
RPO on WXXI
The Rochester Philharmonic is one of our city's cultural treasures, but attending the concerts isn't possible for many in our community. That's why — for more than 30 years — WXXI has partnered with the RPO to make their concerts accessible for everyone!
Simple gifts
Thank you to Luna Galassini for filling in for me over my recent vacation. I spent time with friends in Philadelphia, Princeton, and Bristol Harbor, and then had a week to get ready for winter, putting the garden to bed and sorting through a big basket of mittens and hats which now sits by the front door. And rest! I slept in every day! Getting enough rest and being healthy is very important to me, and it was especially vital given the dramatic week that followed with the unexpected announcement that the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra wished to end its four-year contract with Music Director Arild Remmereit two years early. WXXI-FM listeners have expressed shock, anger, sadness, and hope that classical music lovers will work through this situation together to support our city's great orchestra. Our newsroom will keep you updated on the situation.
Rainy days for some American orchestras
Tough times for our city's great orchestra
You've probably heard the news. In a comprehensive front page story published in Sunday's Democrat and Chronicle, Stuart Low reported the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra may be facing an operating shortfall in excess of $700,000.
But it could be much worse.

The Bible TV series
NEW YORK (AP) — Actress Roma Downey says President Barack Obama congratulated her on the success of "The Bible" — the ten-hour TV series she co-produced with her husband.
Downey met with the president and first lady at the White House on Monday. She says the Obamas were thankful that the show has "engaged the country in a conversation about the Bible."
The actress, who plays Mary, the mother of the adult Jesus, says she was upset that some people claimed the actor who played Satan looked like the president. She dismisses that as "nonsense" and a distraction.
Downey says the ratings suggest that 68 million people have viewed the episodes shown on the "History" and "Lifetime" channels so far this month, with the final episodes coming up the next two Sundays — Palm Sunday and Easter.
She also thinks it's God's timing that "The Bible" is being shown as the seating of a new pope in Rome has people thinking about faith.

- Are rules and boundaries sufficient to limit harmful central bank discretion? Lessons from Europe (2014)
- Marvin Goodfriend's (2014) insightful, informative and provocative work explains concisely and convincingly why the Fed needs rules and boundaries. This paper reviews the broader institutional design problem regarding the effectiveness of the central bank in practice and confirms the need for rules and boundaries. The framework proposed for improving the Fed incorporates key elements that have already been adopted in the European Union. The case of ELA provision by the ECB and the Central Bank of Cyprus to Marfin-Laiki Bank during the crisis, however, suggests that the existence of rules and boundaries may not be enough to limit harmful discretion. During a crisis, novel interpretations of the legal authority of the central bank may be introduced to create a grey area that might be exploited to justify harmful discretionary decisions even in the presence of rules and boundaries. This raises the question how to ensure that rules and boundaries are respected in practice

- How special are they? - Targeting systemic risk by regulating shadow banking : (October 5, 2014) (2014)
- This essay argues that at least some of the financial stability concerns associated with shadow banking can be addressed by an approach to financial regulation that imports its functional foundations more vigorously into the interpretation and implementation of existing rules. It shows that the general policy goals of prudential banking regulation remain constant over time despite dramatic transformations in the financial and technological landscape. Moreover, these overarching policy goals also legitimize intervention in the shadow banking sector. On these grounds, this essay encourages a more normative construction of available rules that potentially limits both the scope for regulatory arbitrage and the need for ever more rapid updates and a constant increase in the complexity of the regulatory framework. By tying the regulatory treatment of financial innovation closely to existing prudential rules and their underlying policy rationales, the proposed approach potentially ends the socially wasteful race between hare and tortoise that signifies the relation between regulators and a highly dynamic industry. In doing so it does not generally hamper market participants' efficient discoveries where disintermediation proves socially beneficial. Instead, it only weeds-out rent-seeking circumventions of existing rules and standards.

- On the conditional effects of IMF loan program participation on output growth (2014)
- Panel Sample Selection ModelsThe empirical evidence currently available in the literature regarding the effects of a country's IMF program participation on its output growth is rather inconclusive. In this paper we propose and estimate a panel data sample selection model featuring state dependence. As in this model the output growth effects of program participation can be conditional on the realization of a state variable (conditional pooling), our framework may reconcile previous empirical evidence based on models without state-dependent effects. We find that the effects of IMF program participation on output growth vary systematically with an index reflecting a country's institutional record, and that output growth effects of program participation are significantly positive only if the program participation is coupled with sufficient improvement of the institutional record.

- On the importance of sectoral and regional shocks for price setting : [Version Juli 2012] (2012)
- We use a novel disaggregate sectoral euro area data set with a regional breakdown to investigate price changes and suggest a new method to extract factors from over-lapping data blocks. This allows us to separately estimate aggregate, sectoral, country-specific and regional components of price changes. We thereby provide an improved estimate of the sectoral factor in comparison with previous literature, which decomposes price changes into an aggregate and idiosyncratic component only, and interprets the latter as sectoral. We find that the sectoral component explains much less of the variation in sectoral regional inflation rates and exhibits much less volatility than previous findings for the US indicate. We further contribute to the literature on price setting by providing evidence that country- and region-specific factors play an important role in addition to the sector-specific factors, emphasising heterogeneity of inflation dynamics along different dimensions. We also conclude that sectoral price changes have a "geographical" dimension, that leads to new insights regarding the properties of sectoral price changes.

Critical Review by Edward Conlon
SOURCE: "Violent Griefs and Seductive Hopes," in The New Leader, Vol. LXXX, No. 14, September 8, 1997, pp. 16-17.
In the following review, Conlon compares the autobiographical elements of Reading in the Dark to those of Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes, finding Deane's novel representative of a more general Irish identity than McCourt's.
The word "mystery" derives from a Greek term for someone who kept his mouth shut: an initiate into the sacred rites and transcendent experiences of the ancient world. To outsiders, such individuals were distinguished by their refusal to speak of their secrets. So a mystery became what we don't understand, whether in the secular realm or the holy. Both are explored in Reading in the Dark a first novel about an Irish childhood by the eminent scholar and critic Seamus Deane.
As with many first novels, generous helpings of autobiographical material not only lend an emotional warmth and weight to Deane's book but invite speculation concerning its degree of factual content. This being the case, it may be read as a kind of fraternal twin to Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes, a memoir, for all its awful and hilarious candor, related with the somewhat suspect panache of the raconteur. The two authors have had long careers as teachers. Their successes with the general reader have been late (Dean is almost 60 years old, and McCourt is over 60) and sudden: Angela's Ashes is a bestseller; Reading in the Dark was shortlisted for Britain's Booker Prize. And the stories have obvious commonalities beginning with their hoarily familiar backdrops (church and pub in one, church and the Irish Republican Army in the other). In each, the shapeliness of fiction and the rude force of fact combine to potent effect.
Yet McCourt's memoir about the viciously circular odyssey of his early life in the slums of Brooklyn and Limerick has the feel of singularity. His family was dysfunctional in a way that goes beyond jargon (it could not even feed its children). His chronicle is about the exceptional, about failure and misfortune and survival that are extraordinary, and largely self-wrought. Its terrors and delights have the consoling remoteness of legend. A progressive might argue that the lack of condoms, penicillin and Alcoholics Anonymous is all that stood between the McCourts and stability, but the book exhibits a surpassing conviction that character and fate were the true agents of destiny for them. Angela's Ashes is bardic and vaudevillian, stage Irish in both senses, recalling Brendan Behan and J. P. Donleavy as much as Peter O'Toole and Richard Harris.
Deane's nameless narrator on the other hand, is the transparently ordinary every child of literature, a watcher and listener, self-revealing primarily through and against his revelations of others. His is the story of stories: of history, of ghosts and of family secrets. It covers the public epic of the Irish struggle, with its slogans and rebel songs, and the profoundly articulate silences of a family whose martyrs and traitors evade easy judgment. The tales are not so much what you tell, or what you do; they define who you are.
Deane was born in Derry in 1940, a period of orderly oppression between the civil wars of his parents' generation and the continuing Troubles. His narrator's coming of age is ironically undercut by the recognition that progress, personal or national, is both an honorable ambition and a fool's desire. The forward march of time brings less the liberation of adulthood than a deepening immersion into a "haunted forever." The border between past and present and between good people and bad, seems as arbitrary and penetrable as that between the Irish Republic and the North. What happened to the McCourts happened only to the McCourts but what happens to the characters in Deane's book happens to everyone in the neighborhood, and keeps on happening
Reading in the Dark gathers little episodes as if they were tiles in a mosaic to create an image of a child's life in a family and a country where division is the norm. But for Deane the opposition of Catholic and Protestant is less significant, and less interesting, than the tensions between for-giveness and forgetting, memory and myth. The narrator's family is working class, Catholic, large and loving, a sturdy vessel seemingly able to withstand the upsets and losses they encounter.
The disappearance of two uncles—his father's brother, his mother's sister's husband—adds a note of color and mystery to family conversations, but to him as a child the vanished uncles are quaintly folkloric figures. The similarity of their supposed exits (both are suspected of having gone to Chicago) foreshadows a link between their fates, as well as a failure of the imagination on his parents' part, and perhaps the failure of stories themselves as a power to explain and protect, tame and pay tribute to an unruly past. Something has to face the past, and since it can't be the family. the stories must try. As Deane has written of Seamus Heaney, "writing has itself become a form of guilt and a form of expiation from it."
The narrator learns as he grows older not only what his parents sought to keep from him but what they kept from each other, out of kindness and guilt, and the potency and terrible burden of secrets that travel through generations like a curse. Deane describes their toll on his mother with heartbreaking tact: "She cried for weeks, then months. A summer passed in a nausea of light, and we took turns at the cooking and shopping…." His mother observes, when she later recovers, that "people in small places make big mistakes. Not bigger than the mistakes of other people. But there is less room for big mistakes in small places."
There are wonderful set pieces of familiar scenes, like the narrator's sit-down with a priest to learn the facts of life. It begins with the metaphysical preamble ("First, the life-is-a-mystery bit …") and moves on to the anatomical particulars, leaving him to wonder: "Do you have to know Latin to do this? Does He say to Her, 'Here you are. This is from the Latin for throw or send.'" Typical boy and archetypal moment are rendered with an unforced freshness that rescues the scene from cliché: "What I had heard was certainly improbable. It sounded like a feat of precision engineering, one which I couldn't associate with what the church called lust, which seemed wild, fierce, devil-may-care, like eating and drinking together while dancing to music on the top of the table." The book has many similar moments of quiet comedy and casual poetry that heighten and relieve the dark drama of historical reckoning.
They are also essential because the mystery in the plot, although highly satisfying, is unpacked a little too soon and a little too neatly; the narrator still has to tug at loose ends after the curtain has already been torn open. Eventually, it becomes clear that for the author the mystery of what happened is secondary, subsumed by the mystery of why it did. We never get more than a partial explanation, but this must suffice: It allows the truthful stories and the useful, protective ones to compete in shaping a past that has a defining grasp on the present.
Deane is persuaded that being Irish is a very specific way of being human, one that permits the determined to have the last laugh, no matter who the joke is on. For him the question is less whether Ireland will ever be free than whether the Irish will be free of Ireland, with its violent hopes and seductive griefs. Reading in the Dark's answer, in its confession of sins, betrayal of secrets and outpouring of songs, is—not so sadly—that no one can say yet.

Students at Prosperity-Rikard Elementary School got a special treat March 14 when Principal Timothy Lyden had to kiss three goats. At various times throughout the year, the PTO has a competition where students collect Box Tops. For this particular competition, the students used Box Top votes to determine who would kiss a farm animal – Lyden or Assistant Administrator April Peel – based on who received the least number of Box Tops. After a number of recounts requested by Lyden, it still ended up that he would be the one to kiss the goat. But not to be outdone, the PTO decided that one goat was not enough, so they brought in three goats and Lyden had to kiss all three as the students chanted "Kiss that goat! Kiss that goat!"
Alexandria Cromer, Miss Newberry College, was a special guest at the Prosperity-Rikard Elementary School goat-kissing event and she could not resist kissing the goat as well.

MODESTO, Calif. -- A Modesto father is so convinced his son with epilepsyis doing far better now that he's on medicinal marijuana, he's speakingout.
