How to Build a Tennis Empire
PARIS—Yaroslava Shvedova, the low-ranked qualifier who upset defending French Open champion Li Na 3-6, 6-2, 6-0 in Paris Monday, is a proud member of the most intriguing experiment in tennis: Team Kazakhstan.
The world's largest land-locked country wants to build a tennis empire, and it's sparing no expense along the way.
So far, it has invested heavily in facilities, coaches, fitness and training for its juniors.
But to have a presence on the pro tour, and role models for its teenage hopefuls, the country has had to take a more aggressive approach: It has lured players like Shvedova away from their native countries with promises of coaches, training, travel expenses and even salaries and bonuses.
None of the five Kazakh players in the French Open was born in Kazakhstan. The most recent addition to the team is 17-year-old Yulia Putintseva, Russia's top-ranked junior.
There is one player not of Russian descent: Sesil Karatantcheva, from Bulgaria. Karatantcheva was suspended from tennis for two years in 2006, after she tested positive for nandrolone at the 2005 French Open when she was 15. She said the positive test was caused by pregnancy but her claims were rejected.
"I had no money to start traveling again, and Kazakhstan came at a time when they were supporting me and still saw a lot of potential in me, so I took the chance," Karatantcheva said.
"They never even doubted that I was innocent, and they really, really believed in me."
She receives a yearly salary plus help with expenses, and bonuses for good results.
Shvedova, originally from Moscow, changed her nationality about four years ago.
"I wasn't a top player or an important player, so the Russian Tennis Federation gave me the green flag to go," she said in an interview last week.
"Now I'm not stressed about money, I can get better practice, better coaches and fitness."
The man behind Kazakhstan's big push into tennis is Bulat Utemuratov, a billionaire Kazakh businessman and adviser to president Nursultan Nazarbayev.
Utemuratov is also the president of the Kazakhstan Tennis Federation. (Utemuratov was traveling and unavailable for comment.)
"He doesn't love tennis. He adores tennis," said Eric van Harpen, the former coach of several top players, including Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and Conchita Martinez. Van Harpen has consulted Kazakhstan's tennis development for the last four years and now works 24 weeks a year for the federation. "Without Bulat, Kazakhstan would not be on the map."
Tennis has had many dynasties, but now that so many countries compete, it's harder than ever to have striking success.
Kazakhstan has additional obstacles: Cold weather, few tennis courts and a large land mass with low population density, which makes for expensive travel and greater difficulty in creating clusters of talent.
Kazakhstan has a training center in Astana, the country's capital, where Shvedova trained for the French Open on new indoor red clay courts.
There's another training center in the former capital, Almaty. The players praise the facilities and coaches—"It's like paradise," Karatantcheva said—but van Harpen still preaches patience.
"Before they didn't even have tennis courts," he said. "They played on clay, but it was white like the sand of the beach. They country is huge, it's an unbelievably big distance between the cities and so it's difficult to control the training."
Van Harpen said they recently learned something about their methods: They were being too easy on the best juniors accepted into the national program.
"In the beginning, everyone on the team was very sure about his place: If you were on, you were on for the next three years," he said. "Now we see after three or six months. If they don't improve, they go out."
Shvedova had surgery on her knee early last season and struggled to recover. Her coach left her and she lost confidence. She said the support of her federation, and her friends in Astana, were essential. She tries to repay it by inspiring the country's juniors.
"I brought home autographed tennis balls and I told the fitness coach, 'Make some tournament or some challenge for them,'" she said. "He made a running competition and they were fighting so hard for them."

And when a fine PYT walks in front of your tree
from The Lonely Island (Ft. Nicki Minaj) – The Creep Lyrics on Genius
PYT of course being a reference to the legendary Michael Jackson single "PYT", which stands for "Pretty Young Thing."
Subtle creepiness in this line. The girl is "in front of your tree" because she's inside her house, and you're sitting in a tree outside her window. Weird entitlement is a hallmark of creepiness!

V-79-57344-34030 (0xe00084ee) - An invalid command was sent to the storage device.
This is an incredibly weird one, I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Basically we have an ultrium drive LTO2 which is backing up using Symantec Backup Exec 11d and ONLY every Thursday night does it produce the above error. All articles seem to point to Tape Drivers or RAID controllers but surely none of which apply if it happens so specifically on one night.
Any idea's greatly appreciated.
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Hi Kris,
Any sort of maintenance jobs that run that night for any application? Is Removable Storage service stopped and disabled?
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
Disable it, it's not required.
Any other difference in your job on the Thursday?
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
Hi there,
Sorry for the late reply.
Have you tried pointing your job on the Thursday to the drive specifically, and not any available?

Having failed to crack the sensational Aarushi Talwar-Hemraj murder case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday filed a closure report in a Ghaziabad special court pleading insufficient evidence.
The CBI was entrusted with the investigation in June 2008. "After completing the investigation, the agency has filed a final report in the court for closure of the case on grounds of insufficient evidence. In the final report, all the evidence that was available and could be gathered during the probe and the gaps in evidence have been detailed," a CBI spokesperson said, adding that since the matter was sub-judice the agency would comply with the court orders.
Aarushi, the 14-year-old daughter of dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, was found murdered under mysterious circumstances at their Jalwayu Vihar residence in Noida on May 16, 2008. The mystery deepened after the body of their domestic help, Hemraj, earlier suspected to have murdered the teenager, was found on the terrace the next day.
The Uttar Pradesh police arrested Aarushi's father Rajesh Talwar for his alleged involvement. However, the case was transferred to the CBI on June 1, 2008, following a huge public outcry. Dr. Talwar was subjected to a lie-detector test. The agency virtually gave him a clean chit and arrested his servant Krishna, Rajkumar, the domestic help of the Talwars' family friend Durranis, and Vijay Mandal, domestic help of their neighbours.

India's plans to put two Indians in space by 2015 require cutting edge technologies such as building a robust and reliable launch vehicle, a liveable crew capsule, providing life support systems for the astronauts and "a 100 per cent reliable crew escape system" in case of an emergency, according to S. Ramkrishnan, Chief Executive, Human Space Flight Programme of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
The most challenging part, which was of paramount importance, was to ensure that the two-man crew would be brought back safely to earth. He made these observations on Monday at the Space Summit of the Indian Science Congress under way here.
The Indian astronauts would remain in space in low-earth circular orbit at an altitude of 300 km for seven days, said Mr. Ramakrishnan. The mission called for building a launch vehicle that could safely take two humans into space, navigation, guidance and control systems, plans to pre-empt disasters etc.
"But we have established our credentials for doing very complex missions," he said.
Mr. Ramakrishnan, who is also Director (Projects), Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), Thiruvananthapuram, said the ISRO was building a technology demonstrator of a reusable launch vehicle, called RLV-TD, similar to the U.S.' Space Shuttle. The RLV-TD's engineering model was ready.
A scaled-down model would be flown by the end of 2010. The Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III is right now in the testing phase. Its two boosters, each carrying 200 tonnes of solid propellants, will be tested after some weeks. It is a three-stage vehicle which, in 2011, will put a satellite weighing four tonnes in geo-synchronous transfer orbit and a ten-tonne satellite in low-earth orbit.
C.G. Krishnadas Nair, Managing Director, Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL), made a strong case for establishing universities devoted to aeronautics. The ISRO, CIAL, Airports Authority of India Limited and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited were trying to establish an international institute for aeronautical engineering and management in Bangalore. Universities should be established for teaching airport design, construction and management.
Very little research was done in aerospace in the private sector in India, Mr. Krishnadas Nair said. He wanted the Union government to devise a pro-active policy in aeronautics and set up an empowered commission on aeronautics.
Lars Prahm, Director-General, EUMETSAT, said weather-induced disasters such as floods and landslips were increasing globally. There was a reduction in the snow cover and a rise in the global sea-level. EUMETSAT is a European organisation with six operating satellites. It wanted to forge global partnership including with the ISRO in meteorology, oceanography, monitoring of climate and atmospheric composition, said Dr. Lars Prahm.
Marc Pircher, Director, CNES (the French Space Agency), said the Megha-Tropiques satellite, with payloads from India and France, would be put in orbit from India this year. It would study the tropical atmosphere near the equatorial belt and cyclone formation.
Daring to dream
Professor U.R. Rao, former Chairman, ISRO, wanted a new Green Revolution to be brought about for better productivity of food grains. This requires better management of agriculture, higher investment in energy sector, more access to marketing for farmers etc. India's productivity of food grains of 3.5 tonnes per acre was lower than the world average. India's challenges lay in ensuring for itself food security, energy security, environmental security, space security and so on.
Professor Rao predicted that colonisation of Mars by human beings was possible in a thousand years. "It is no more fiction. It is within the realm of possibility. The last 50 years of space has been dramatic. The next 50 years will be spectacular for those who dare to dream," the former ISRO Chairman said.

Justin Verlander gets lit up, puts AL All-Stars in 5-0 hole
Jul 10, 2012, 8:48 PM EDT
Justin Verlander had made 13 career starts at Kauffman Stadium and never given up more than four runs. Of course, he was facing the Royals in those outings.
The NL All-Stars roughed up Verlander in the first inning Tuesday, scoring five runs on four hits and two walks. Ryan Braun started the scoring with an RBI double, but Pablo Sandoval's three-run triple was the big blow. Sandoval went on to score on a Dan Uggla single.
The plan was for Verlander to pitch two innings tonight, but Joe Nathan replaced him to start the second. Verlander is the fourth starter to allow five runs in an All-Star Game, joining Jim Palmer (AL, 1977), Tom Glavine (NL, 1992) and Roger Clemens (NL, 2004).
- florida727 - Jul 10, 2012 at 9:01 PM
Palmer, Glavine and Clemens? Dubious, but at least he's in good company. Just shows it really can happen to anyone.

I was surprised that the TV crew did not think that Bautista made that catch in the second inning. What cave have they been living in? Bautista is an excellent outfielder
- ptfu - Jul 11, 2012 at 8:51 AM
That was indeed a nice catch in the second. Definitely an out. Well done.
Joey Bats may be an excellent outfielder but he did not look like one in the first inning. He made two poor plays on balls off the wall. Didn't end up mattering as Verlander was getting knocked around anyway, but still.
- natsattack - Jul 10, 2012 at 9:21 PM
You have to be pretty good to get to a point where it is possible for that to occur.
- styx630 - Jul 10, 2012 at 9:37 PM
I'm sure getting to have sex with Kate Upton afterwards will make him feel better.
- simonfoster231171 - Jul 10, 2012 at 11:11 PM
Wouldn't that make ANYONE feel better? I know it'd make me feel better!
- fusionix7 - Jul 10, 2012 at 10:41 PM
It's what happens when he relies on the fastball. Should have worked with his off-speed pitches. Verlander is amazing but that's why he lost a couple games earlier in the season in the late innings. Everyone knew he was going to dial up instead of stick with what was working all game.

Few Christians had greater impact during the last half of the twentieth century than Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer. A man with penetrating insight into post-Christian, post-modern life, Schaeffer also cared deeply about people and their search for truth, meaning, and beauty. If there is one central theme throughout Schaeffer's work, it is that "true truth" is revealed in the Bible by "the God who is there," and that what we do with this truth has decisive consequences in every area of life.
Death in the City was Schaeffer's third book and is foundational to his thinking. Written against the backdrop of the sixties countercultural upheaval, it reads today with the same ring of truth regarding personal, moral, spiritual, and intellectual concerns. Especially in light of 9/11, Schaeffer seems disturbingly prophetic. The death that Schaeffer writes about is more than just physical deathit is the moral and spiritual death that subtly suffocates truth and meaning and beauty out of the city and the wider culture.
What is the answer that Schaeffer offers in response? It is commitment to God's Word as trutha costly practice in the midst of the intellectual, moral, and philosophical battles of our day. It is compassion for a world that is lost and dying without the Gospel. It is yielding our lives to God and allowing Him to bring forth His fruit through us.
Few have demonstrated this commitment to truth and "persistence of compassion" so consistently as Schaeffer did. And because of this, few who begin reading these pages will come to the end without having their life profoundly changed.

End-of-life Discussion does not Affect Survival Rates
(Ivanhoe Newswire) — Planning ahead is not bad for your health! A new study shows discussing and documenting patients' preferences for care at the end of life does not cause them any harm.
The study found patients who talk with their physicians about end-of-life care and have an advance directive in their medical record have similar survival rates as patients who do not have these discussions and documents.
The study included 356 patients from different hospitals who had low or medium risks of dying within one year. Patients were followed from 2003 to 2009.
"Our findings are reassuring. They support health care providers, who can initiate these discussions, and policy makers, who seek to reimburse these time consuming discussions. Most importantly, our findings are reassuring for patients and families who desire these discussions with their health care providers," Stacy M. Fischer, M.D. of the University of Colorado School of Medicine was quoted saying.
"The term 'death panels' has sparked considerable controversy recently. It has undermined the efforts of clinicians who provide end-of-life care by scaring patients into thinking that their lives may be cut short for their families' or society's best interest. We hope our study provides data to help inform the national debate about advance directives for key stakeholders; health care providers, policy makers, and patients and families," Fischer was quoted saying.
Each individual has unique needs for information and support. Some patients want to know what to expect and some patients don´t even want to hear what is wrong with them, so each individual still has a choice of what path to choose.

The Charlotte-based Hot Dog King, which recently raised some national eyebrows when it made Fast Casual's 2014 Top 100 Movers & Shakers list, today released its study, based on two years of the brand's sales data, of the Top Ten Hot Dog Toppings, just in time for July 4th. Mustard topped the list.
JJ's, the smallest and youngest brand on the Fast Casual list, the only Charlotte-based brand and the only Hot Dog/Sausage concept to make the cut, says America loves their Hot Dogs with the following toppings, in order of preference:
1. Mustard
2. Onions
3. Chili
4. Slaw
5. Ketchup
6. Relish/Pickles
7. Bacon
8. Sauerkraut
9. Cheese
10. Hot Relish
"Mustard and Onions and Chili…well those just make sense," said JJ's owner and founder Jonathan Luther when he looked at the data. Luther said the study backed his own anecdotal perspective, although he did take exception to #5: Ketchup. "Only Dirty Harry hates Ketchup on a hot dog more than me, but the people have spoken and it's their list," conceded Luther.
JJ's recently won its second Voters' Choice Best of the Best award from Charlotte Magazine and is featuring the The Mac Daddy, a virtual Fourth of July picnic on a premium Hot Dog, with Mac & Cheese, Cowboy Beans and Onions, specially priced at $2 all week at JJ's two locations in Charlotte: Dilworth and Ballantyne.
Regarding Luther's ketchup pet peeve, "He'll get over it," said JJ's director of marketing and brand development Brandy Newton. "Our goal is to create joy here with our world-class Hot Dogs. Whatever the people want, Jon and JJ's will deliver."

Amitabh Bachchan in South Indian Film
Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is off to Ooty to shoot for his Malayalam project and says he gave his nod for the film only because of his admiration for southern superstar Mohanlal. 'My admiration for Mohanlal could never have made me refuse this offer and so I do it for him,' Amitabh posted on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com. 'Mohanlal has been and still is one of the most incredible talents from Kerala and the Malayalam film industry. I have admired him and his work through many years of my existence in this profession. He has a unique body and face language. You get the feeling that he is doing nothing, yet it results in the most amazing results -- natural, without effort and effective. Just such a joy to watch him,' he wrote. The offer for the yet-to-be-titled project came to Amitabh when he went to Kerala to attend the celebration of sound technician Resul Pookutty's Oscar victory last year. 'It was there that Mohanlal, a guest at the occasion, had come up to my room with his director Major Ravi to put up this idea and this proposal. A few weeks later, they all came to meet up with me in Mumbai to set up all the details for the shoot,' he posted. The 67-year-old is working for free in the movie. '(They) put up the inevitable question that most producers do of remuneration! I had laughed at them. What? Charge you for working for three days in a Mohanlal film? An actor I admire? You must be joking! No way, no fees, no nothing. Just tell me when I have to report and ...
Resul Pookutty
According to the latest buzz, Amitabh Bachchan will be playing a Pakistani national in Oscar winner sound designer Resul Pookutty`s directorial debut. Resul always wanted to ventured into direction and was looking for a right script. Right from the beginning, Resul was keen to cast Big B i

Teen Dies At A "Project X" Inspired Party
Drunk teenagers that saw a ridiculous movie + Texas = tragedy.
After close to 1000 people showed up to a party in Houston, Texas, things started to get violent after "several attendees fired guns" (a staple of any successful party) resulting in the death of one teenager. The party was inspired by the film "Project X," and the kids even spray painted the movie's title on the mansion's walls.
From Yahoo:
Trash cans full of spiked punch were set out for partygoers. Wet foam blanketed the floor. Women who wore bathing suits were granted free entry to the party, according to the flyer.
"[The gunman] was just walking, and he pulled out a gun and started shooting, like for no reason," [one of the party-goers] said. "He shot the boy in the back of the head and fell on the ground. He started shooting at the crowds, but then he ran through the field."

For the second Saturday in a row, gale force winds punished property owners in Skaneateles.
Instead of trees causing damage, however, it was heavy lake swells.
The higher-than-normal spring lake level combined with high winds to create deep rolling waves topped with white caps that hammered the north shoreline like a storm surge. The Mid-lakes Navigation dock, summer parking slip of the lake touring vessel 'Judge Ben Wiles,' sustained heavy damage as crashing waves pulled deck timbers out and ripped floor planking from its framework.
Waves pounded the Clift Park seawall, causing cracks and ruptures in the walkway that will have to be repaired before anyone can use them.
Ocean-like waves also flooded the parking areas behind the Genesee Street stores used by shop owners, littering the shoreline broken dock pieces and floating debris.

What do gardeners do when they can't go outside without getting wet and chilled?

I don't know about you guys, but my respect for CM Punk has increased.
It's not just the fact that he once again communicated with the IWC, or that he made a match with Jerry 'former King of Memphis, Tennessee' Lawler look half decent (my favourite match of the night was John Cena vs. The Miz for those interested). It was also that he perked me up after what was an hour of boredom,
SummerSlam recap
Last week I labelled the end of Raw as a disaster. I should have known that it was just a precursor to what would be the worst SummerSlam I have ever seen. If you ignore the fact that Punk retained, Jericho finally won a match on PPV in 2012, and Santino lost his United States Championship on the pre-show, WWE really dropped the ball here.
So close yet so far.
It was clear tonight that WWE forgot they now have to book three hour episodes of Raw if you ask me. There was no main event, and they had nothing better to improvise than what has to be the least progressive and relevant ending to Raw in a long time.
Before the catastrophe that was Brock Lesnar, Triple H and Shawn Michaels' poorly improvised ending,
The difference between a face and a heel when you're an older fan is often the opposite of what the WWE considers to be its 'universe' sees as a face and a heel, and tonight was a prime example of the audience being split between who the bad guy really was.
Back when I was a kid the heel was the guy whose ideals I didn't agree with, or the guy who decided to take a dislike to somebody

Hello fiends. I´m new on this espresso world and I´ve just bought:
Expobar office control
Rancilio rocky md grinder
What would you recommend for cleaning and maintenance? what products and what periodicity? Thanks in advance!!!
Thank you for the question. We will first start off with the Expobar. First, you will want to backflush the machine every 10-14 days. This is achieved by using a backflush dic(Basket with no holes in it) and a cleaner such as Cafiza. This will clean the group head and remove coffee build up so that it is not transmitted to the your finished product. I would high suggest using the water softner with this machine to keep the water as soft as possible. This will keep the machine from building scale up in it. As this machine can be descaled but it can be quite tricky to do. Moving onto the Rocky grinder. I am a firm believer is disassembling the burr area and cleaning the threads and grinding area to keep from oils and coffee from building up and causing more stress on the motor. This will prolong the machine lifespan by doing so. I suggest ever 3 to 6 months for this. I have such a large span on time for this due to the use of a light roast to a dark roast and the amount of usage. Shane
Would I also need a descale product for my Rancilio Silivia or would these tablets suffice?
Those are actually for machines with a brew unit cleaning cycle-your best bet would be something like the Urnex Cleancaf or Durgol Swiss Espresso Cleaner to descale your machine.

Those are actually for machines with a brew unit cleaning cycle-your best bet would be something like the Urnex Cleancaf or Durgol Swiss Espresso Cleaner to descale your machine.
What's the difference between this product and a descaler product?
Can I use this on the semi-automatic Gaggia Evolution?
If yes how it works?
Cleaning tablets are meant to clean out any coffee residue in the machine. Descaling clears out any mineral build up in the boiler and other internals of the unit.
Can this product be used on the gaggia evolution? how do I use it?
The Evolution is a semi-automatic machine, and so these would not be necessary to use with your machine, as it does not have a brew unit. The best thing to use to clean your machine is Gaggia Decalcifier or Durgol Swiss Espresso Cleaner.

The candid commentary on the current state of eldercare and insights for ways forward are shared in An Uncertain Age: Reimagining Long-term Care in the 21st Century, a report commissioned by the Lien Foundation, a Singapore-based philanthropic organisation and researched by KPMG.
The current conditions of long-term care which project a dim outlook, according to the report, are poor coordination between healthcare, social services and community involvement, compounded by insufficient standards and legislation and most importantly, the affected individuals' denial and inattention to his or her realistic needs for long-term care.
The ongoing debate over long-term care, the report cites, still centres on the spiralling cost of care and how governments, private sector, society and families should best bear responsibility for it, especially now with the demand for long-term care services imminent.
The way forward say the report's thought leaders, calls for enlightened solutions that address the issue across the broad spectrum of funding, patient care, workforce resources, the growing role of the community, and social issues, including the imperative to shift societal and individual notions of the elderly as positive contributors and valued citizens.

HealthTap wants to make online health care more trustworthy
HealthTap users simply ask their question online or through a free smartphone app
HealthTap gives patients direct health advice from legitimate medical professionals with incentives for physicians to participate
Article Summary
The sad fact is that most sources of health care advice online are sorely lacking in reliability. People with potential health problems are usually stuck wading through a wide array of potential diagnoses for their symptoms which may or may not have been fact-checked by an actual doctor. HealthTap says it can change this perception with a service that verifies the credentials of physicians and incentivizes doctors to participate by enhancing their reputations.

Indiana Democrats dump House minority leader Bauer
LAFAYETTE, Ind - Rep. B. Patrick Bauer's 10-year run as Indiana's most powerful Democrat reached its end Thursday when he was ousted from his leadership role by frustrated members of his House caucus.
He was removed from his role as minority leader as 23 members of the 40-member group of House Democrats met at a Lafayette union hall and, after an hour of talks, chose to replace him with Rep. Linda Lawson, D-Hammond.
Immediately afterward, Bauer, who had not attended, conceded that his time alternating between speaker and minority leader, depending on which party had the majority, was over. He said he hoped to remain involved in efforts to elect candidates he recruited, now that he has a "lighter load."
That means Lawson will lead Democrats' efforts to increase their number of seats in the 100-member House through November's elections. The day afterward, those who have won will meet to select a new leader for the next two years.
"We feel it is time to move forward with greater transparency, bipartisan acceptance and a willingness to work together as we look forward to November elections and beyond," Lawson said after the meeting.
Thursday's meeting was at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 668 union hall, in Lafayette. It was held there because Lawson recently had back surgery, and because it was her first long-distance trip since then, Democrats wanted to keep her drive short.
It was a change long in the making. In small group meetings with Bauer and at one full caucus meeting, Democrats had insisted that Bauer be more open – including more members in strategy and campaign decisions, and changing who had access to the party's campaign bank account.
They were rebuffed, though, as Bauer – known for years for keeping his caucus so tightly connected, especially on key votes where defectors would mean defeat, that Gov. Mitch Daniels sometimes dubbed him "Boss Bauer" – refused to relinquish control.
Democrats who were there said that attitude was the primary reason they replaced him.
Rep. Gail Riecken, D-Evansville, said she wanted House Democrats to have a "fresh start," and a cohesive message on the campaign trail about how the party would create jobs.
"We've focused too much on where we were, and we need to be about where we're going," she said.
Some Democrats had complained that Bauer was spreading Democrats' money too thin as they headed into November's election. Republicans just controlled the redistricting process, and many believed fewer seats are actually in play than Bauer wanted to try to win.
"There's sometimes a very difficult triaging process," said Rep. Scott Pelath, D-Michigan City. But he and others said that was not a central part of Thursday's discussion.
Rep. Matt Pierce, D-Bloomington, said the problem was "not so much any individual strategy, as much as no one else being a part of any strategy."
The outcome of Thursday's meeting was all but assured, but less clear heading into the day was what Bauer would do if a majority of his caucus wanted to replace him.
He had insisted Wednesday that those who were meeting would have no actual power because leadership elections typically only take place in November, right after elections.
However, he said Thursday that he would step aside because other members of the caucus had chosen Lawson – a retired police officer whom he had selected to make the No. 2 House Democrat two years ago – to lead them through November.
Still, Bauer said, the entire episode was personally "painful" – a quick fall for a man who has been either the head of the caucus or its point man on the budget for years.
"I've learned a lot of things in my life," he said, "and one thing is, you just keep going and keep moving forward, and that's what I intend to do."
Indiana Republican Party Chairman Eric Holcomb, who has said he'd like to see Bauer remain in power because he's made a useful punching bag, said: "If this stands, we're sorry to see Pat Bauer go."

This is it. The last Reader Finds before Labor Day, when the Reader Finds pools start to close down for the summer and I'm not longer allowed to drink Malibu Rum and orange juice without any orange juice for breakfast any longer. But a wonderful summer of skin-filled visual delights is hardly over in these here parts, not when the 13 million man and Sapphic leaning Egotastic! army is afoot grousing up wondrous imagery like a pig in, well, shittastic.
This week's Reader Finds includes the delicious Hayley Atwell covered topless in a truly special photoshoot (thanks to EgoReader 'Glenn'), blessed Asian hottie Rinko Kikuchi topless in quite the pictorial treasure chest (kudos to 'Zachary P.'), super hot Latina Vanessa Velasquez in her boudoir apparel (muchas gracias para sextastica to 'Emry'), bouncy India Reynolds in some wicked topless Nuts outtakes (funbags courtesy of 'Megan'), veteran actress Sonia Braga quite topless in 70′s cinematic fare (wayback hotness provided by 'Stevie'), Salma Hayek topless in the epic Frida (great caps from 'Desmond'), Abbie Cornish flashing her bare hooters on the silver screen (thank you kindly, 'Josh'), Lady Gaga showing her boobs off in a Lolapalooza stage dive (bad chestal romance by way of 'Todd'), damn fine Monika Pietrasinska flashing her chest pillows (gorgeous treats transmitted by 'Echo'), more Alley Baggett classic topless fineries (from the giving hands of 'Dave T.'), Tamsin Egerton and Anna Friel flashing their tops in The Look of Love, the vastly underrated Pam Grier flashing her fabulous udders from back in the 70′s (classic Grier goodness from 'Devon'), Madonna crazy bushy hairy nekkid as a young woman (whoa, you're in the jungle now thanks to 'Craig'), Selena Gomez in one flashy slit skirt (potential rise up to the thong from the mind of 'Darren'), and last, but not least, country singer Lauren Ashley flashing some sheer panties beneath her skirt (peekaboo party thrown by 'Sherrie'). It's a lot of homework, but the fun kind indeed. Enjoy.

Clouds of doubt continue to loom over prestigious award
Calls for a comprehensive review and reform of the National Artist selection process have obviously fallen on deaf ears, as the search for new awardees has been resumed—despite the clouds of doubt and controversy that still hang over the prestigious honor.
So, do we just gird ourselves against the next wave of injudicious conferments as lessons are obdurately not learned?
Another series of questionable awards could sunder the top artistic honor for keeps, and that would be such a pity, because our best genuine artists should be recognized and rewarded for their exceptional creativity and service to the nation.
So, what do we do to convincingly underscore our concern before the die is cast?
Perhaps some eyes will be opened to the risky situation at hand, if we see it the other way around and cite the aspirants who shouldn't become National Artists (and they are legion)!: Like artists whose lifetime achievements don't add up to an exceptionally significant contribution to the nation's artistic life and sensibility.
Many minor artists don't really have an organically unique point of view in relation to the expression of their artistic sensibility and insights, so why should they aspire to a national-level honor?
Many lesser awards are existing or can be put up to satisfy their craving for "recognition"—within the context of their inherent creative limitations!
Also undeserving are aspirants who try to finesse the top honor not through exceptional creativity, but by virtue of sheer volume—and volubility—of output.
Like the insistent gent who, even after being turned down multiple times, still reminds selectors that he has many (generally mediocre) works. Or the actor who comes up with cliché characterizations on drama series, but still thinks he should be cited and rewarded for them.
We don't begrudge those ambitious dreamers for wanting to win, but we should constantly point out that the National Artist award is intended to honor exceptional artists for a lifetime of consistently outstanding creative output, nothing less.
The top award is similarly not intended for artists who bank on strong connections with influential people, groups and even presidents who are prepared to anger many artists just to please a favored few.
Ditto for artists who name-drop many awards and citations garnered "internationally," hoping to impress "colonially minded" locals to mistakenly believe that those foreign honorifics are definitive proof of their smug recipients' amazingly extraordinary creative gifts!
And, make that double for people who aren't really practising creative artists, but try to make their mark as educators, organizers, etc.
We should also be wary of aspirants who have been turned down three or more times in the past, but stubbornly continue to "try and try again," in the fond hope that, one of these years, the selectors may lower their standards or guard, and "accidentally" allow them to win!
By the way, this isn't a far-fetched dream or notion as far as the selection process goes: During one cycle, an undeserving aspirant was able to get shortlisted as the second-tier selectors' choice for his particular art form—and it was only the eagle-eyed judiciousness of the final voters that prevented him from getting enough votes to cop the top honor.
It's likely that his ilk will be trying their luck and "connections power" again this coming cycle, so what happens to the nation's artistic standards if they finally manage to "win"? —Eagle eyes and claws, one and all.
