Doc had this to say yesterday about his 17 year veteran future Hall of Fame center (via CSNNE's Jimmy Toscano): "People have no idea what he goes through, and you can't unfortunately. But it really is [admirable] watching him just in there now doing all the stuff that they're doing, the stretching. He just plays because he loves it, and it's will. A lot of guys would just not play anymore. The fact that he does and to the level that he does it, I mean he's a rebounding machine for us right now, and we need it." Jackie MacMullan elaborates in her ESPN Boston article this morning: Here's another clue the end is drawing near: when you spend as many minutes preparing for practice as you do actually participating. Teammates say KG hates to sit out, so he undergoes an elaborate routine of stretching, receiving treatment, getting massages and doing strength work to prepare his body for the workouts. Hearing this about Garnett should come as no surprise to anyone who's watched him play ...

Ike Davis sits against lefty, world ends
Aug 13, 2010, 4:03 PM EDT
Well, OK, so the world is always ending on Twitter, but this time it's because Ike Davis is on the bench against a lefty for the second time in three days.
Tweets MLB.com's Anthony DiComo:
Poor Ike Davis. Hitting .272 vs. lefties as a rookie, but now is basically platooning. Hessman in again tonight. #Mets
Unfortunately, most of the replies aren't fit to be reprinted.
So, yeah, Davis is hitting .272 against lefties this season. But he's struck out more against them, he's hit for a lot less power and he has that average in no small part because he's been held out aganst a lot of the better ones.
And the pitcher the Mets are facing tonight is Cole Hamels. All he's done is hold left-handers to a .182 average, even though most of the mediocre ones sit against him. Righties are hitting .266 against him.
Sure, the Mets need to get Davis at-bats against lefties. But they haven't quite admitted that they're out of the race yet, and Mike Hessman is the better bet to do some damage against Hamels tonight.
Deal with it.
- El Bravo - Aug 13, 2010 at 4:25 PM
I will not deal with it. I will cry and tantrum until something is changed dag nammit!!
…seriously though, the Mets are worse than having a carbuncle on your groin.
- kyle s - Aug 13, 2010 at 4:25 PM
so lefties are simultaneously hitting .182 and .266 against hamels? articles need to be proofread. deal with it.
- Matthew Pouliot - Aug 13, 2010 at 4:30 PM
- Benny Blanco - Aug 13, 2010 at 4:59 PM
So much Met hatred. Where does it come from???
- El Bravo - Aug 13, 2010 at 5:15 PM
It's not hate at all. It's reasonable expectations that I bring to the table. I expect them to implode like I expect the Royals to suck and the sun to rise on the eastern horizon. Further, go Braves!
- David - Aug 13, 2010 at 6:02 PM
I always love seeing typo, grammar and other errors from sports writers. They rip players endlessly for mistakes made during a live game, when there is no chance for a do-over if something goes wrong, but in the process make lots of mistakes, that are published despite their ability to read, re-read, have editors read and re-read etc everything they put out.
Is there a website that tracks sportswriters scoops and gems, relative to their errors and banalities? Would there be a market for it if there were?
- Old Gator - Aug 13, 2010 at 6:31 PM
The Mutts wouldn't be in the predicament if Little Herr Friedemann was their GM instead of Omar Minaya.
- JBerardi - Aug 13, 2010 at 9:11 PM
Ike Davis is a first baseman hitting all of .251/.327/.433. He'll take a platoon roll and like it.

Mythiks' Sketchbook | Learning to Draw
Hey everyone!
Though I've been a fan of this forum for ages, I've only recently decided to start posting,
in hopes that I can improve on my dismal knowledge of anatomy and general drawing techniques.
I'm still learning, so I don't really understand much at all about anything really, so
any crits/tips are more than welcome!
Let's begin!

Awesome job on your studies. I have done a few hogarth studies and I have had a ton a trouble with them. Hence the reason I never added them to my sketchbook. Good luck and keep them coming!

Awesome studies, however if you really want to make any use of them you need to apply your studies to original drawings. You can start out by doing a study from the book, then close the book and try to draw the same study from memory without referencing. It's hard at first, but I think it'll help you in the long term. Good luck!
January 24th, 2010 #8
Thanks guys (heroesnvillains, keevy39 & RickyS)! Sorry I'm so slow to post, I tend to procrastinate a lot (that AND I'm taking my time with these, which I hope isn't too much of a problem)
RickyS, thanks a tonne for the tip! I've been a bit worried about how much I should be sticking to the books.
Some without reference material
January 24th, 2010 #9
Nice work, hogarth is pretty hard to copy as far as studies go. I usually do loomis and bridgeman. What medium are u using to draw it? it looks pretty clean to me. Also what is the name of the book your using?
Comment my crappy art PLEEZ ; )
January 24th, 2010 #10
DaStreets - I've got one of Loomis' books as well, looks a lot better for setting up the structure of whole figures
and dealing with foreshortening so I'll probably be studying those as well at some point.
Usually, I just use a HB pencil / 0.5 mechanical pencil with a paper stump or some light gray marker.
The book is called 'Dynamic Figure Drawing' by Burne Horgarth.
Thanks for your comment

Nice studies, keep up.. Make sure though that you know what you are studying (i'm not saying that you aren't.. just it's an area where lots of people can go in the beginning).. you can go nuts with doing studies from those books, but if you are just copying the lines, without actually understanding it, you'll end up not learning very much.. Try some different resources, Hogarth might be too complicated if you are just starting out, but maybe it isn't, I don't know, experiment, see what seems to fit to you the most.. If you are just starting out the human figure, I would suggest you to learn the skeleton structure, if you have skeletons down in correct porportion, it isn't very hard to learn the muscles, when you can know on which bones they are attatched to and how big they are etc.. Life drawing classes are also quite helpful, there you can see the variety of human bodies, and how they look in real life, all of those figure drawin books have very exacerated muscles in there, in order for you to understand them, but in reality, not very people have six packs etc keep up.
January 24th, 2010 #13
Will do! Thanks for your advice, spark zero, I understand what you're saying. I'll try some studies from Loomis' books, I think they have a basic skeletal structure which may be good.
January 24th, 2010 #14
Random stuff. I know I've gotta practice on something other than male torsos, I will start the structural work tomorrow!

Yeah, it looks like you're off to a good start but what other people are saying is totally valid. More than anything, draw from life. Buy a little sketchbook (or maybe a big one, I like those better, and just draw, all the time. Don't feel as if you need to learn to draw by using a book, the whole world is your reference! xD
Your value range is nice, just try not to hyper-blend things because it can make things look flat very easily. Keep it up though!
January 24th, 2010 #16
Lots of good advice in here. I personally believe that a balance between focused studies (from books, photos, etc.), life drawing (formal or cafe style) and drawing from imagination will bring about the fastest progress. All three will provide unique types of education and all three aid in the development of the others in turn.
Keep it up. Practice pays of.
PS Don't forget to have fun
February 15th, 2010 #17
Omg, it has been way, waaaaaay too long since my last post (I'm so ashamed!).
Thanks again for all your comments, particularly Vitasketches and Traveler, I understand now that I should be more balanced in my approach to drawing and include more drawings from life/imagination.
I've been mucking around a lot on Posemaniacs.com as well recently, usually just 30-45sec sketches, to help me deal with foreshortening and learn more about the body/poses.
Here's some drawings from imagination and from Bridgeman's Complete Guide to Drawing from Life.

Hogarth is great man, keep it up
February 15th, 2010 #19
hey man!
Looking good here!
Those anatomy studies are awsome!
I love the skulls man, they look reall good!
The torsos contain some good form to.
Hogarth is the shizz
Keep doing these man and tons of other stuff to ofcourse!!

Measure employee attitudes and establish the baseline you need to begin improving your safety culture with our Safety Perception Survey.
Because attitudes affect actions, the Safety Perception Survey (SPS) places emphasis on what employees think and believe. Measuring gaps between manager and front line worker viewpoints, the SPS creates a baseline from which to begin improvements. To keep the momentum, Caterpillar Safety Services supports you by prescribing action items, providing learning resources, facilitating workshops and training your trainers on ideological topics.
The survey includes a total of 73 yes-no questions, which can be administered online or by traditional pencil-to-scan forms. These can be supplemented with onsite interviews for even greater insight.
Percent Positive and Perception Gaps
The mere process of having everyone respond to the same series of questions unites. It says, "This is important. We want to know what you think."
From a pure technical standpoint, the survey establishes a baseline measurement of employee attitudes and perceptions across 20 statistically validated Safety Culture Indicators. Its results present a clear barometer of the health and condition of an organization's safety culture, as well as:
- Pinpoints strengths and weaknesses of statistically proven incident-prevention factors.
- Anchors a long-term strategy to achieve a safety culture of sustainable excellence.
- Exposes how well executive-level leadership goals and values reach front-line workers.
- Identifies safety system improvements that will fine-tune processes that drive performance.
- Establishes priorities that build on strengths and overcome weaknesses.
Not wanting to administer a written survey? We also offer onsite interviews…
Caterpillar Safety Services Onsite Interviews gather insight at the individual level, one qualitative interview at a time. Through data from interviews, you're able to identify your greatest strengths and your most troubling vulnerabilities that impact the "health and condition" of safety management. Whether used as a tool to compliment the Safety Perception Survey or as a stand-alone process, the interview and follow-up analysis establishes clear focus and steps toward change.
Outcomes of Onsite Interviews:
- Encourage an open exchange of ideas and perspectives.
- Identify attitudes and perceptions that are inhibiting safety excellence.
- Provide a place for personnel to be heard.
- Communicate safety as a core-value priority.
- Obtain buy-in and get greater participation.
- Address any possible gaps between management and employees.
- Provide a first-step assessment in the change process.

Irresponsiveness of two retinoblastoma cases to conservative therapy correlates with up- regulation of hERG1 channels and of the VEGF-A pathway

Treatment strategies for Retinoblastoma (RB), the most common primary intraocular tumor in children, have evolved over the past few decades and chemoreduction is currently the most popular treatment strategy. Despite success, systemic chemotherapeutic treatment has relevant toxicity, especially in the pediatric population. Antiangiogenic therapy has thus been proposed as a valuable alternative for pediatric malignancies, in particolar RB. Indeed, it has been shown that vessel density correlates with both local invasive growth and presence of metastases in RB, suggesting that angiogenesis could play a pivotal role for both local and systemic invasive growth in RB. We present here two cases of sporadic, bilateral RB that did not benefit from the conservative treatment and we provide evidence that the VEGF-A pathway is significantly up-regulated in both RB cases along with an over expression of hERG1 K+ channels.
Case presentation
Two patients showed a sporadic, bilateral RB, classified at Stage II of the Reese-Elsworth Classification. Neither of them got benefits from conservative treatment, and the two eyes were enucleated. In samples from both RB cases we studied the VEGF-A pathway: VEGF-A showed high levels in the vitreous, the vegf-a, flt-1, kdr, and hif1-α transcripts were over-expressed. Moreover, both the transcripts and proteins of the hERG1 K+ channels turned out to be up-regulated in the two RB cases compared to the non cancerous retinal tissue.
We provide evidence that the VEGF-A pathway is up-regulated in two particular aggressive cases of bilateral RB, which did not experience any benefit from conservative treatment, showing the overexpression of the vegf-a, flt-1, kdr and hif1-α transcripts and the high secretion of VEGF-A. Moreover we also show for the first time that the herg1 gene transcripts and protein are over expressed in RB, as occurs in several aggressive tumors. These results further stress the relevance of the VEGF-A pathway in RB and the correlation with hERG1, making aggressive and recurrent RB cases good candidates for antiangiogenesis therapies based on the targeting of VEGF-A.

A retired Cudahy firefighter has been charged in the sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl, according to a criminal complaint filed in Milwaukee County Circuit Court.
Robert T. Shimeta, 53, is accused of touching the girl's breasts on June 8 while they were watching animal videos on the Internet in a bedroom of a St. Francis residence, according to the complaint. The girl was sitting on his lap, the complaint says.
Shimeta retired from the department in March 2010. The month before, the Cudahy Common Council unanimously approved a resolution recognizing Shimeta for 18 years of service with the fire department.
According to the criminal complaint, after the alleged assault, Shimeta told the girl not to tell her mother about the incident.
The complaint says that Shimeta admitted to St. Francis officers that he touched the girl, but denied he was sexually aroused by it.
Shimeta is charged with one count of first-degree child sex assault-sexual contact with person under age 13.
He made an initial appearance in court on Monday, and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for Sept. 20.
If convicted, Shimeta faces a maximum of 40 years in prison and 20 years of extended supervision.

Contract satisfies Carlsbad district, educators
CARLSBAD -- After four months of negotiation, Carlsbad Unified School District educators have reached a tentative contract agreement with the district, both sides said Thursday.
Union negotiators and district officials said they are satisfied with the deal, which gives licensed educators -- teachers, counselors, school psychologists and librarians -- a 4 percent raise in their base salary. Teacher salaries are based on years of experience and education.
Three percent of that would be retroactive to July 2005, and the remaining 1 percent would begin July 1, officials said.
The president of the teachers association, Laura Bowen, said the deal must be ratified by union members.
Superintendent John Roach, the district's chief negotiator, said it was clear to him that the association negotiators needed a 4 percent raise.
After several proposals, the combination "3 percent, plus 1 percent" solution was reached because it fell within the district's financial constraints, while giving teachers what they need and deserve, Roach said.
As part of the deal, association negotiators agreed that the 1 percent portion of the raise would come out of next year's cost-of-living increase. They also agreed to delay the start of next year's bargaining until after the November election.
Roach said union negotiators "held their line and represented teachers well."
"We're satisfied," said Bowen, a teacher at Calavera Hills Elementary School. "It feels like four percent."
The district's average salary for teachers is $45,000, said Torrie Norton, the district's associate superintendent of personnel.
A 4 percent raise will give that average-salary teacher an annual raise of $1,800, or $150 per month starting July 1.
For an average-salary teacher, the retroactive 3 percent raise will mean a lump sum payment -- possibly as early as the June 30 paycheck -- of $1,350, in addition to the regular ongoing gross monthly salary of $3,750.
Benefits cost the district another $10,000 per employee, Norton said.
A first-year Carlsbad teacher with no experience makes $35,480 in Carlsbad Unified; a teacher with 24 years experience and a master's degree makes $77,065. Each year of experience earns the teacher a raise of about $2,300.
Gaylen Freeman, the district's deputy superintendent of business services, said the total cost of the deal to the district for 2005-06 and 2006-07 schools years will be about $2.1 million. The retroactive raise will cost the district about $1.5 million, and the one percent raise that starts July 1 will cost about $600,000 in the 2006-07 school year.
Almost 82 percent of the district's spending goes to employee salaries, benefits and other labor-related costs, according to the district budget.
Negotiations began in December with meetings every few weeks, culminating with a tentative deal last Friday.
Earlier in the talks, a proposed schedule change at the high school arose as a key issue. The proposal -- supported by district administrators and opposed by 83 percent of Carlsbad High's teachers -- prompted teachers to protest in front of campus on March 25.
After the protest, Roach agreed to table discussion of schedule changes until next school year, effectively removing the issue as an obstacle to agreement.

How to Have a Successful Moving Day
Moving can be a stressful and tiring event for most people. However, there are many things a person can do to cut down on his or her moving worries.
Implementing safe moving practices, and creating a plan ahead of time are an example of some moving tips that can significantly reduce the amount of stress one experiences when undertaking this project.
Selecting a Moving Company
Choosing a moving company should be the first thing a person considers when formulating his or her plan for a stress free move. When selecting from the many moving companies in Washington, DC, homeowners must give thought to their budget, as well as the reputation of the moving company they are considering. Once the proper research has been conducted and a moving company selected, one must then focus on packing considerations.
Getting Organized
To ease moving worries, one should begin collecting the appropriate packing and moving supplies ahead of time. People can choose to do their own packing or have the moving company complete this task. Similarly, homeowners can obtain boxes on their own, or purchase them from the moving company. These decisions largely depend on personal preference and budget. The advantage to purchasing such items from a professional company is that these supplies are specially manufactured for the moving industry, and are designed to eliminate damage to the homeowner's belongings. Acquiring boxes from other places may not be a good idea in certain cases, but should one choose this route, he or she should make certain to choose boxes that are strong enough to prevent damage to the objects inside.
If one is expecting hot weather on moving day, he or she may wish to hiring the moving company to come early in the morning in order prevent having to work in uncomfortable temperatures. Many individuals choose to use colored tape to mark boxes. For instance, one may use red tape on boxes that belong in the kitchen, and yellow for those that should be delivered to the living room. These simple moving tips can help to make the event less of a hassle and a smoother experience overall.

Congress Government policies come under criticism at public meet
ONGOLE: Telugu Desam activists took out a rally from NTR Bhavan here on Friday protesting against steep rise in the prices of essential commodities.
The rally culminated in a public meeting at Ambedkar Bhavan. Telugu Mahila state president Vanga Geetha presided.
District Telugu Mahila president and former minister Jagarlamudi Padmavathi and former MLA P. Sai Kalpana addressed the gathering.
In the afternoon, the district Scheduled Tribes cell of Telugu Desam Party met in the same hall. State president of TDP ST cell Chitti Naidu presided.
`TDP achievements'
Former Minister Damancharla Anjaneyulu and Addanki MLA and TDP district president Karanam Balaramakrishna Murthi accused the Congress Government of spending all the funds for irrigation at the cost of welfare activities.
They pointed out that the TDP Government had increased the reservation for Scheduled Tribes from 4 to 7 per cent, set up ashram schools and implemented ITDA projects for uplift of tribals.
But the Congress Government cut the budget for all welfare programs affecting weaker sections.
`False promises'
The TDP leaders said that the Congress came to power by making several false promises. They stressed the need for all weaker sections to unite and defeat the Congress in the next elections.

Miss Ellie - The World's Ugliest Dog - RipMiss Ellie died a few days ago, in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. She was a Chinese Crested Hairless dog, with pimples and a lolling tongue. With her cataracts, lack of teeth and shock of graying hair, it is not hard to see why she was named after the matriarch in Dallas.
She won Animal Planet's "Ugliest Dog" contest in 2009. She had a good life: lived to be 17 and had a career in show business, at a resort in the Smoky Mountains, before and after winning the contest.
I am writing this piece for two reasons. First, Miss Ellie looks, to me, an absolute sweetie and was, in reality, probably far from really being the world's ugliest dog. Second, she raised $100,000+ for charity and is yet another illustration of the fact that, however unpromising someone or something may seem to be, whether in looks or intelligence, they should never be rejected as somehow useless or unworthy.
Miss Ellie's parting gift may well be a much needed reminder to all of us never to judge by appearances.

US gun support runs far deeper than politics
Tuesday - 12/25/2012, 1:03pm EST
By PAUL J. WEBER
Associated Press
BRYAN, Texas (AP) - Adam Lanza's mother was among the tens of millions of U.S. gun owners. She legally had a .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle and a pair of handguns, which her 20-year-old son used to kill 20 children and six adults in 10 minutes inside a Connecticut school.
In the raw aftermath of the second-worst school shooting in U.S. history, countless gun enthusiasts much like Lanza's mother complicate a gun-owning narrative that critics, sometimes simplistically, put at the feet of a powerful lobby and caricatured zealots. More civilians are armed in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world, with Yemen coming in a distant second, according to the independent Small Arms Survey in Geneva.
Take Blake Smith, a mechanical engineer who lives near Houston and uses an AR-15 style rifle in shooting competitions.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who famously claimed to have shot a coyote while jogging with a pistol holstered to his running shorts, has signed a half-dozen certificates applauding Smith as one of the state's top marksmen. "But I won't call myself a fanatic," said Smith, 54, whose father first let him handle a gun around age 6.
"I sit at a desk all day. And when I get out to the range, I don't hear any gunfire going on," said Smith, who likens his emotional detachment to his guns to the way he would feel about a car or any other machine. "I'm so intent on my sight alignment, my trigger pull, my position. I don't worry about anything. I don't think about anything. It's relieving. It's therapeutic. Everybody has to have their Zen."
Since the school shooting, President Barack Obama has asked for proposals on reducing gun violence that he can take to Congress in January, and he called on the National Rifle Association, the country's most powerful gun-rights organization, to join the effort.
Gun laws in the U.S. vary from state to state _ for instance, as of last month it is now legal to carry a gun in public view in Oklahoma _ and are defended by the firearms industry and the NRA. On Friday, the NRA broke a weeklong silence since the Connecticut massacre by calling for armed volunteers at public schools, prompting criticism from many quarters.
But in the U.S., gun-control advocates are up against a sizeable bloc of mainstream Americans for whom guns are central to their lives, whether for patriotism or personal sense of safety, or simply to occupy their spare time.
Dave Burdett, who owns an outdoors and adventure shop across the street from the sprawling Texas A&M University campus in College Station, says his affinity for guns is rooted in history, not sport.
"It isn't about hunting. Everyone says, `Well, I can understand having a sporting rifle, but not an AR-15," Burdett said. "But wait a second _ the idea of the Second Amendment was to preserve and protect the rights of individuals to have those guns."
"Remember that the (American) revolution was fought by citizen soldiers," he added. "To this day, that's one of the cornerstones of our military defense. We have an all-volunteer military."
An NRA poster picturing a bald eagle is taped to the glass door of his office. He started as a lawyer, dabbling in everything from commercial land to trying to block the deportation of an illegal immigrant, before seguing into selling guns.
When his daughter graduated with a business degree from Texas A&M, Burdett figured she would move somewhere cosmopolitan like Dallas and work in a downtown high-rise. She instead went to work in the store, built her own AR-15 out of spare parts and used it to join what her father described as the "let's-go-pig-hunting-tonight circuit." Those feral hog hunts often include high-powered rifles as well as night-vision goggles.
"The other thing is, shooting is fun. It really is," Burdett said.
Many think so. Smith, the mechanical engineer, said that includes teenage girls. At national shooting competitions, Smith has run into a group of girls around 13 or 14 years old who call themselves "The Pink Ladies," firing high-powered rifles at targets. He also recalls meeting Australians, whose country bans guns, who told him, "I love to shoot, so I'm going to the U.S."
Others add safety to the list of reasons for allowing people easy access to guns.
"To me it's obvious _ the more people that have guns, or at least in their homes, it's more of a criminal deterrent," said Bill Moos, a local taxidermist in the small town of Bryan, near College Station. Moos, who owns more than 30 guns, can be spotted any given morning, prowling his roughly 40-acre (16-hectare) ranch with his dogs and a shotgun slung over his shoulder.

Jessica Alba is just saying no to professional nannies RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned, but the busy working mom has figured out a way to get top notch help for a low, low price.
According to a source close to the actress-turned-baby-product-mogul, "Jessica is really against the idea of people hiring strangers as nannies. She finds it unseemly and undignified.
"Instead, Jessica says parents should find a younger member of their extended family to take care of their kids part-time because they are sure to be more loving and connected to them."
PHOTOS: Jessica Alba & Nicole Richie Show Off Their Bikini Bods
The source revealed to Radar that despite her wealth, Alba's choice is also a financial one.
"Plus, Jess says an added benefit is that you don't have to pay family members nearly as much as people you get through employment services!"
The Fantastic Four star, 33, is becoming a go-to expert on parenting thanks to the success of her Honest Company brand line of eco-friendly baby products. With husband Cash Warren, 35, Alba is also raising daughters Honor, 5, and Haven, 2 1/2.
PHOTOS: Jessica Alba Shows Off Her Bangin' Bikini Body
On May 9, the actress was feted as "Mother Of The Year" at an event at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Now Alba is telling friends that she's against the modern trend of parents hiring total strangers to care for their children, the source revealed.

"Jessica wishes people would find a suitable relative to step in and help out instead, and says such a structure promotes family closeness. Her two cousins work for her as an assistant and a nanny and the situation is working out great for the busy mom," the source said.
Most importantly to Alba, "She has complete security in knowing that her cousins will love and protect her children as much as she does."

From the PublisherA Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year
"This ambitious volume argues for the relevance and necessity for psychocultural perspectives for understanding globalization and its discontents.... I can not do justice here to the intriguing examples, case studies, and discussions of methodologies drawn from the authors' own research that make these essays grounded and engaging reading." (Anthropos, 2009)
"Absolutely without an equal among texts in the field ... this volume (is) particularly user friendly for instructors and readers." (Choice)
"What a wonderful surprise! Having edited, reviewed and contributed to many anthologies, I approached this Companion skeptically ... But the uniformly high quality of the writing soon won me over ... This volume achieves its goals of introducing new readers to psychological anthropology and of contributing to 'its growing vigor'." (Ethos: Journal of the Society for Psychological Anthropology)
"Any publication which draws the attention of psychologists to the existence of other cultures is extremely welcome ... This book can be recommended for its broad coverage and its range of interesting ideas. All university libraries catering for courses in psychology or in any sociological field should consider acquiring a copy." (Reference Reviews)

Duval Street, Key West
20 Reviews
20 Reviews
Duval Street! Every joint on the strip is a PARTY! There are all kinds of bars, clubs and theaters - something for everyone.
The most laid back place on earth. I love it here. No one is in a rush, everyone just wants to have a good time.
Dress Code: You can go straight from the beach (some people do). Anything goes in Key West. Don't be surprised if you see some nudity. It can get pretty crazy. I usually take one casually dressy outfit to wear to a nice restaurant (even though it would be acceptable for me to arrive in shorts). Louie's Backyard is a really nice restaurant and it is more fun for me if I dress up a little.
One night, my friend and I wanted to go out, but we wanted to get away from the crowds on Duval Street & Mallory Square. We ended up in the hotel lounge at the Wyndham. It is an old hotel that the Wyndham purchased -- really nice. Great, quiet place to grab a drink. The bartender is super friendly and knows how to make everything!
Ok... everyone already knows Duval St. is where the party is at. The goal is to start at one end and try to amke your way to the other. I never made it! I always got sidetracked at Rick's Bar. Karaoke! Duval St. is great for people watching. Grab a table on a patio somewhere and just sit back and allow yourself to be entertained. Or you could go to Rick's and do karaoke.....
Dress Code: Dress pretty much any way you like as long as you are comfortable.
Just walk up Duval St. and pick a place! There's all kinds of live music and you don't even need to go in the bar to enjoy it, you can stand on the street and see some bands. At times you can listen to more than one band at once. They had live music on both sides of the street.
A lot of street performers and street musician, give them a penny as they provide live air in Key West just because of YOU mu dude.
You'll be sitting there, having a few drinks along Duval street... and out of no where a parade will come down the street....

CFN Instant Analysis
Ohio 24, Penn State 14
Pete FiutakFollow Us ...
It's one thing for Penn State to struggle on offense – everyone expected that, especially with top receiver Justin Brown (Oklahoma) and All-Big Ten caliber running back Silas Redd (USC) transferring. But to lose because the defense was miserable was particularly galling.
Penn State suffered a few losses, but it was expected to be dominant on defense led by Gerald Hodges and Michael Mauti, two of the best linebackers in the country, and pro prospect Jordan Hill at defensive tackle. When push came to shove, Ohio did the shoving.
The Bobcats are supposed to be good enough to potentially win the MAC title, but again, the Penn State defense is supposed to be good enough to stop anyone in the country. Instead, the Nittany Lions gave up close to 500 yards of total offense and allowed Ohio to go 93 yards in 14 plays to put the game away. The D never adjusted to the short slant patterns that allowed the Bobcats to keep the drive alive, and the line never applied enough pressure to bother quarterback Tyler Tettleton.
There's no way Penn State could lose this game. After all the drama, all the controversy, all the bluster and all the emotion, head coach Bill O'Brien had to win this to show that the program might be able to move on and be productive. It still could be – again, Ohio is good – but with the way the team's strength weakened, and with the offense not likely to get any better any time soon, this could be a very, very long five years.
Richard Cirminiello
Welcome to your new normal, Penn State.
All the cries of brotherhood and solidarity. All the community support. All of the pent-up intensity. All of the tired catchphrases in Happy Valley this afternoon. And you still couldn't hold off a visitor from the MAC. Get used to it Lions fans, because your team is not very good, and may not be for a very long time. If high-profile recruits were on the fence about State College prior to this weekend, there's a very good chance that they're leaning in a different direction right now.
Who would blame them?
The reality is that if Ohio can steal your thunder, the likes of Ohio State are going to steal your heart two months from now. Today was likely as good as it gets for the Nittany Lions in 2012 … and they were unable to protect a 14-3 in their own building. And every time this program gets trampled and embarrassed, be sure to remember that it was a failed administration, the supposed adults in the room, whose inactivity and poor judgment made this debacle possible.
On the flip side, kudos to Bobcats head coach Frank Solich, who quietly continues to do a terrific job in Athens, sans a lot of notoriety. His teams don't get Big Ten-caliber athletes, but they are always well-coached and skilled in the running game. Almost a decade after the fact, it still feels as if Nebraska was impetuous in letting this guy leave Lincoln.
By Matt Zemek
It's not as though the Ohio Bobcats dominated Penn State at the outset of Saturday's game in State College, Pa. The defending Mid-American Conference East Division champions were climbing uphill against the fired-up Nittany Lions. They were blown off the ball on most snaps, their running game smothered and their offensive line in retreat. Ohio walked to the locker room at halftime with an 11-point deficit on the scoreboard. The desire to win in front of more than 100,000 spectators was so intense that the Bobcats were unable to get out of their own way. It was going to be a challenge for this team to come back, primarily because it was going to be difficult for Ohio to relax.
Frank Solich, the head coach who has made the Bobcats consistent winners over the past several years (and a bowl winner for the first time last year), didn't need to yell at his team at the intermission. He needed to tell his team to settle down and play.
That's exactly what the Bobcats did.
Ohio flipped the first-half script after halftime. In the second half, it was Tyler Tettleton – not Matt McGloin – who threw short passes to move the chains in third-and-short or third-and-medium situations. It was Ohio's defensive line that raised its level of play, stuffing the Penn State ground game and preventing the Nittany Lions from establishing physical and territorial leverage. Ohio withstood two missed field goals to take the lead and later drive home the dagger on a 14-play, 94-yard, six-minute-and-49-second-long touchdown drive in the final minutes.
Ohio has not always been able to close down meaningful wins beyond the
scope of MAC East competition. This win could very
well create the internal confidence and belief that
could enable the 2012 Bobcats to finally win the MAC
on Nov. 30 in Detroit.
By Russ Mitchell
Follow me @russmitchellcfb
The game itself was a good one, and watching Frank Solich get the win on the Beaver Stadium sidelines was worth the price of admission. Solich is a good coach and a better ambassador for football.
The real story was ESPN's highly orchestrated effort to turn this football game into an "event". So much so that the broadcast very quickly took on a "The Decision"-esque feel.
We get it. It's time for everyone to move forward. Some might disagree, but alright. You can get that across in five seconds. Instead, ESPN and the Penn State fan base turned this into a glorified tribute to…Penn State's football culture.
Wait a minute…
Yes, the E stands for Entertainment, and the actual football part of the broadcast was not surprisingly very good. Still, this was a lot of love for a university and football program that should really still be in time out. Or at the very least, not have a three hour homage praising it.
It was all a little weird.
By Phil Harrison
Follow me @PhilHarrisonCFN
Reality check time.
You knew it was going to happen. There is simply no way that Penn State can keep the same level of play with all of the sanctions and bans that were handed down because of the shameless child abuse scandal. But already?
Yes Silas Redd departed. Sure the team's best wide receiver, Justin Brown, followed suit along with a few others who decided to take advantage of the free transfer rule the NCAA put in place. But isn't there still enough talent on this roster to be an average to above average Big Ten team?
The defense surely still has top-tier talent and depth, including a linebacking corps that isn't far off on paper than where the typical PSU linebacking unit is. And on offense? Surely Matt McGloin isn't going to make anyone forget about Kerry Collins or Michael Robinson, but he's a veteran that you'd think could at least steer the Nittany Lion ship forward.
But now it appears as though things have run aground well before fans at the foot of Mount Nittany expected the NCAA typhoon to take its toll.
To be fair, Ohio is not a bad squad. It has a very solid coach in Frank Solich, a veteran and talented QB in Tyler Tettleton, and a lot of returning talent. But it is a MAC school that Penn State should have been able to get by without too many problems at home. But it didn't. It didn't at a time when the emotions of getting back on the gridiron to begin thinking about other things than human disregard and unparalleled fallacy should have carried the team.
The season isn't over by any means for the residents of Happy Valley, but perhaps expectations need to be adjusted just a bit now. Maybe in reality, this Nittany Lion team has already begun the steep slide down the slopes of despair at an accelerated rate. And maybe that's just what should be happening...
By Terry Johnson
Follow me @TPJCollFootball
When the NCAA handed down its sentence against Penn State, it said that the sanctions were so painful that those in Happy Valley would wish that they had received the death penalty instead.
After watching the Nittany Lions in action this afternoon, Penn State fans would have to agree.
Give Frank Solich and Ohio University credit: they have an excellent team, and should contend for the MAC Championship again this year.
However, this is Penn State. Losing to any team from the MAC at home is never acceptable. In fact, legendary Coach Joe Paterno nearly lost his job after Toledo beat the Nittany Lions 24-6 back in 2000.
Bill O'Brien's team suffered an eerily similar loss today. Yes, the Nittany Lions owned the first half, and looked like they were going to cruise to victory. But starting with the second half kickoff, the Bobcats simply imposed their will on a seemingly overmatched Penn State squad.
Watching that unfold has to hurt, especially at a program so accustomed to winning.
What will hurt those in Happy Valley even more is that this is just a precursor of what's going to happen in the future. The Lions could very easily lose every game on the rest of their schedule this season, with only Navy and Temple lurking as potential wins. In addition, the scholarship reductions will make Penn State the equivalent of a Division II program, putting it a competitive disadvantage against the other schools in the Big Ten for at least the next four years.
Perhaps the NCAA was right about something for a change.

Until recently, property owners in Michigan who disputed a local assessor's classification of their property for tax purposes were not permitted to seek judicial review of the State Tax Commission's decision. However, in Midland Cogeneration Venture Ltd Pshp v Naftaly, ___ Mich ___(May 23, 2011), the Michigan Supreme Court cleared the path for property owners to file an appeal in the appropriate circuit court by declaring that a statutory provision that precluded an appeal of the State Tax Commission's decision was unconstitutional.
The Midland Congregation Venture case involved the consolidation of nine appeals in which property owners disputed the classification of their property as either "industrial real property" or "commercial personal property." Each plaintiff sought to have its property classified as "industrial personal property" in order to take advantage of certain tax exemptions and credits available for that property classification. The plaintiffs individually filed petitions with their respective local boards of review, but each board denied the request for reclassification. The plaintiffs then separately appealed each board's decision by filing a petition with the State Tax Commission (the "Commission"). Once again, each plaintiff's request for reclassification was denied.

Unicorn Kid interview: "Yeah I'm self-aware, but so is Rihanna."
Get to know Oliver Sabin, the funny and frank mind behind the outlandish, chiptune-pioneering online persona.
See the full gallery of light-soaked images of the Scottish popstar-in-the-making, taken by Laura Coulson for Dummy.
Published: 19/10/12
Photographer Laura Coulson met with Unicorn Kid recently to capture his image for Dummy's interview with him, and the results were so starkly and simply charming that they're worth sharing in full.
In his chat with Steph Kretowicz, the chiptune sensation revealed, sadly unsurprisingly but still very shockingly, that he came up against homophobia in his induction into the pop music business. Sabin explained "I had this agent who said, 'yeah, you need to stay in the closet. In electronic music you cannot be gay. Because women don't like it and men don't like it.' I was like, 'fuck that'."

Barbaro remains stable
PITTSBURGH (Reuters) – Kentucky Derby champion Barbaro
remained in a stable condition on Tuesday after receiving a
sixth cast since suffering a life-threatening leg fracture in
the Preakness Stakes.
"He's tolerating the new cast well," said Dr Dean
Richardson, chief of surgery at the at the University of
Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center in Kennett Square, Pa.
Richardson replaced the cast on Barbaro's shattered right
hind leg during a three-hour operation on Monday and also
treated the colt for an abscess in his left hind foot.
"We have changed his left hind foot bandage and that looks
improved," said Richardson. "His vital signs remain stable and
his attitude and appetite remain excellent."
On Saturday, Richardson changed the titanium plate and many
of the 27 screws that had been inserted into Barbaro's
fractured right hind leg during the life-saving surgery
performed the day after the Preakness.
Barbaro suffered the first loss of his career during the
May 20 race when he suffered a devastating mis-step.
The main fracture sustained during the Preakness is healing
well but the pastern joint doctors are attempting to fuse
continues to cause concern.
