Oncology, Machine Learning and Watson: SIAM Student Chapter visits IBM
Eric Eager, faculty advisor of the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse SIAM Student Chapter, writes:
On April 10th I had the pleasure of leading a group of seven students from the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse SIAM Student Chapter on a visit to IBM Rochester in Rochester, MN. The group, which consists of many students who are graduate-school bound in pure mathematics, was very excited to see what doing mathematics was like in a non-academic setting.

Pi Day 2015 at UMBC
On Friday, March 13, 2015, University of Maryland, Baltimore County's SIAM Student Chapter, Mathematics and Statistics Graduate Student Association (MSGSA), and Pi Mu Epsilon Chapter co-hosted a special Pi Day Social. The President of MSGSA gave students a brief history of Pi, presenting the chronology of attempts to approximate Pi. There was food, fun, and math-related games including Jeopardy Pi Day Edition, Pi Day Sudoku, a pie tasting contest, and a Pi reciting contest where an undergraduate in mechanical engineering was able to recite 100 digits of Pi. Special emphasis was placed on giving the opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students from mathematics, statistics, mechanical engineering, and computer science to network and socialize in an informal, friendly, and light-hearted math environment. The event had great turnout and was a fantastic success!

Sarah Swatski, Vice President of the SIAM Student Chapter at UMBC, writes:
On Wednesday, March 11, the UMBC SIAM Student Chapter hosted Navigating the Transition from Grad School to a Career. We were very pleased to have Susan Hindle, Assistant Director for Internships and Employment with the UMBC Career Center as well as Dr. Bedrich Sousedik and Dr. Kofi Adragni, Assistant Professors in the UMBC Department of Mathematics and Statistics, speaking at this event. Susan Hindle shared information on the many services offered by the Career Center and discussed when to use and how to construct a "30-second commercial" or "elevator pitch." Dr. Sousedik and Dr. Adragni discussed their experiences with their transition from graduate school to their positions at UMBC and answered student questions.
Charles University in Prague Chapter conducts FEniCS workshop
Jan Papež of Charles University in Prague Chapter of SIAM writes:
In February 2015 the Charles University in Prague Chapter of SIAM organised a week-long workshop focused on programming in the FEniCS Project. The FEniCS Project is a collection of free software with an extensive list of features for automated and efficient solution of partial differential equations. Among the main components of this tool there are the C++/Python problem solving environment DOLFIN and the Unified Form Language (UFL) that allows a user-friendly and almost mathematical formulation of the problem.
The workshop started off with solving the Laplace equation which was used to teach participants the basics of Python and provide them with a brief introduction to FEniCS. We used our previous experience from MATLAB workshops that learning by doing is the most appreciated approach by attendants. Later in the week we moved from one problem to another and solved the heat equation, the evolutionary nonlinear problems of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation, and the equations of hyper-elasticity. In the end we spent the last day on computing the eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator.
The course was led by two members of our faculty, Jaroslav Hron and Jan Blechta who is one of the developers of the FEniCS Project. The workshop attracted 30 participants, students and faculty staff members. We consider it to be a great success with the possibility of becoming a regular activity of our Chapter.
My Favorite SIAM Legacy
Susan Whitehouse, outgoing SIAM Membership Manager, recalls memories working with the SIAM student chapter community:
I will be retiring soon, after 12 great years serving as SIAM's first Membership Manager. My fondest legacy is the student chapters. When I walked in the door in January of 2003, there were 12 chapters scattered about the U.S. No one knew who ran them or what they did. My first task was to survey the existing chapters to find out what they were doing and how SIAM could best support their activities. My second task was to put together a website that would include all the tools that schools would need to set up new chapters and request financial support (the top request identified in my survey of chapter needs.) My third task was to start telling the SIAM community about the opportunity to set up chapters and encourage them to do so at their schools. Read the rest of this entry »
Student Chapter Funding for 2014-2015
SIAM awarded over $46,000 to 95 chapters for activities taking place throughout the 2014-2015 academic year. Many of SIAM's Student Chapters have weekly or biweekly meetings, seminars, invited speakers, workshops, field trips to companies and labs, and other interesting activities. Below are a few exciting events our chapters held in fall 2014 or plan to do in spring 2015.
The Cardiff University chapter hosted their Third SIAM Chapter Day on January 15. Doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers from Cardiff University and other universities were invited to showcase their research in a poster presentation. Guest lecturers included Des Higham (University of Strathclyde), Kevin Glazebrook (University of Lancaster), and Peter Wells (Cardiff University). The chapter also hosts regular seminars given by junior or postdoctoral researchers in mathematics or engineering. Read the rest of this entry »

Chauncey Billups got therapy Wednesday for what the Clippers said is peroneal tendonitis in his left foot. Billups said there is no timetable for his return to playing again. "I'm not really practicing on the court yet," Billups said. "When I get to do that, then we can assess that." Billups said the team doctors and Clippers trainer Jasen Powell have recommended rest for right now. "I'm just trying to let the inflammation go down," Billups said. Billups, who has played in three games this season, missed his eighth consecutive game with the injury. He had missed the first 14 regular-season games rehabilitating a left Achilles' tendon tear. "I'm good," Billups said. "As long as the team is playing good, I'm just trying to get better. I'm trying to get healthy. I'm being patient with it. I'm trying not to jump the gun. I just want to be patient and be right." Billups, 36, said it has been tough to not play. But the Clippers keep winning, meaning Billups can take his time befo...

On January 20th, the fiftieth anniversary of President Kennedy's Inauguration, a group of fifteen staffers who had worked in the Kennedy White House held a reunion at a local D.C. steak house. One of them was a secretary named Gloria Sitrin, whose boss had been Kennedy's aide and speechwriter, Ted Sorensen. Sorensen had been my boss, too, when I helped him with his memoir, "Counselor," in the years before I became a speechwriter for Barack Obama. So I tracked down Sitrin and invited her and her husband, Dave, to lunch at the White House mess.

During my first visit to Kripalu in the summer of 2010, Kripalu Yoga teacher Coby Kozlowski hit me over the head with what she calls "the cosmic 2-by-4." "Wake up and get on the boat," she told me. Her program, Quarter-Life Calling: Living an Extraordinary Life in Your 20s, combined with my Kripalu Yoga Teacher Training, which I completed in November 2010, inspired me to live to my full potential. The Kripalu campus quickly became a sacred space of transformation, and applying for the volunteer program was the next logical step.
Early on in my volunteer semester, a fellow volunteer asked me if I wanted to teach a yoga class in Spanish to Kripalu staff members for whom English is a second language. I responded with an enthusiastic yes. The first Spanish word that came to my mind was estirar, to stretch. My classes for staff, supported by a Teaching for Diversity grant from Kripalu, gave me the opportunity to practice and study so I could comfortably teach an entire yoga class in Spanish.

We hope to plant a yard with blooming plants all spring and into fall. Can you tell me what types of annuals and perennials would be good to plant to bloom that way, from spring through fall? I get early morning sun and a little shade in the afternoon so I need something that would do well in these conditions.
There are so many different plants you could use. However here are a few to consider that do well in our area. Perennials: Helleborus, Lily of the valley, Pulmonaria, viola, bleeding heart, Solomon's Seal, Virginia bluebells, Tiarella, Heuchera, assorted hostas, Liriope, Ophiopogon, Ligularia nummularia Tricyrtis, African daisies and of course assorted rhododendrons, azaleas plus ferns. Be mindful of sun and shade requirements of each. Of course take notice of the wonderful selection of summer bulbs available to you.
Nearly anything you find in the "annual section" in garden shops would be good candidates, and with careful deadheading, watering, plus a bit of fertilizer, many should last all summer and into fall. When the nighttime air is warm bring out house plants to a shady location. They'll thrive in warm summer days in dappled shade and usually look fantastic after their "summer vacation." I usually bring out my angel-wing begonias, African violets. Orchids also like summer air. I hope this gives you some ideas.
I planted two lilacs two years ago in the spring. They did not bloom the first spring, which I expected, but they also did not bloom this past spring. They were small but are now growing very nicely. I really want the beautiful lilac blooms. I've fertilized but with no result, so what else can I do?
I seem to get this question often. The most common reasons for a lilac not to bloom are immaturity, too much shade, pruning at the wrong time of the year and excessive nitrogen fertilizer. Since your plants are only 2 or 3 years old they are probably just too young; when they mature, you'll begin to see them develop flower buds. This may take even a few more years; they need some maturity and lots of sunshine to set blooms. If it's not in a sunny location it may never bloom for you. I'd then consider moving it to a sunnier spot. Lilacs bloom on wood grown the previous year, so any pruning must be done in the spring immediately after the shrub blooms fade. Pruning in summer or fall or early spring will remove flower buds. At this point, I'd just be patient, and withhold fertilizer since this contributes to lush foliage growth at the expense of blooms.
I want to divide up my day lilies, they have grown to thick. I want to give some away. I also wonder if they could live in a pot. I've never seen that but wonder if I could do it and they would bloom?
Day lilies are notorious for increasing profusely. Most of us have too many. For years I have been putting a shovel of emerging day lilies into a pot. They take off and often bloom that early summer if I'm sure to place the pot in good sunshine, and remember to water them. Even if they don't bloom that year, I move the pot to spots in my garden that could use a spiky foliage fill-in.
You might also check with the master gardeners as they are very busy working toward their huge annual Mother's Day plant sale, May 11 and 12.
They love to help folks divide overgrown perennials. Take the excess for their sale, then replant that bed so it looks less crowded. I would check with them as day lilies are usually perennials that they have an overabundance of, but you may have a unique variety or color, so it's worth checking with them. Look around the rest of your garden, are there other perennials that are outgrowing their space? Contact the master gardeners' office, leave a message with phone number and email address. The contact information is 360-397-6060 ext. 5711, or email@example.com. They will make sure to get the info to the master gardener dig team, and set up a date and time to remove excess perennials, and put that garden bed in order again.
You may have some help in your early garden, and know you are helping the master gardeners as they work toward their constant goal of growing food and supplying aid to the food banks and all the other outreach programs in our area of Southwest Washington.

Great product, its got everything: stretch and comfort, good looks, and durability. The zippered pockets are a plus if your using them in the water or anywhere really since things tend to come out of pockets when you least expect it! They have the ability to be worn from wet until dry, and then out to social scene afterwards, gonna order another pair!
My previous board shorts make me look like I belong on the beach, and ONLY on the beach. They also have only one pocket (on the side), which isn't good for someone who normally wears cargo pants (only the stylish kind, I swear).I wanted some new shorts that work just as well around town as they do in the water, and I went with the Patagonia Stretch Journeyman in Quartersaw/Black. I couldn't have chosen a better pair.These are extremely lightweight and they dry very fast. I know Patagonia also makes the Houdini, which is supposed to be even lighter, but I think that would compromise their ability to fill the everyday-around-town role. That these have 3 pockets (2 side slits, where I'm used to them!) that are secure by zippers or velcro, plus the elastic key holder... well that sealed the deal. You won't be disappointed.The only thing I'd add would be belt loops, but those are rare from what I've seen, and the drawstring is top notch.
I got two of these for everyday wear, swimming, and kayak use. It fits true to size and has a lot of pockets to hold just about anything you need and they zip up so your stuff won't fall out. The zippers won't rust and the hardware is quality. The pants dry very fast when out of the water.
Have 2 pair. Just purchased glass blue. Extremely light, great pockets. Great for any occasion. Only gripe is the side pockets are very shallow. Any larger phone (5" and above) will be a tight fit. If work ever has "short day" I'm wearing these.

Rett's disorder, also called Rett's syndrome, is a brain disorder
characterized by normal early development (until sometime between 5 months and
4 years) that is followed by a loss of physical and mental growth. Rett's is
caused by gene mutation and usually only affects girls; most cases are not
passed from one generation to the next, but occur randomly.
Often the first noticeable sign of Rett's disorder is slowed head
growth. Loss of hand coordination and movement follows, replaced by repetitive
(stereotypical) hand wringing. Language development and social skills suffer
around 2 to 3 years of age. Eventually, physical problems progress so that the
child walks with difficulty—often stiffly with jerking. In addition, breathing
may become labored and produce a sighing sound. These problems can cause severe
disability and sometimes death.
Rett's disorder is one of a group of disorders called pervasive
developmental disorders (PDD) that includes Asperger's syndrome and

Southend welcome back defender Peter Gilbert into the squad to face Cheltenham.
Gilbert served the last of a three-match ban in the 2-0 victory at Oxford and should return to the starting line-up.
Centre-half Bilel Mohsni failed to make the New Year's Day squad and will face a late fitness test to see if he has recovered from an ankle injury in time for the clash with the Robins.
Goalkeeper Glenn Morris took his place among the substitutes following recovery from a damaged ankle but stopper Rhys Evans withstood a heavy assault from the Brewers and should continue between the sticks.
Defender Mark Phillips (hernia) is nearing a return to action but is unlikely to start.
Cheltenham boss Mark Yates will be without the services of Robin Shroot at Roots Hall.
The midfielder's loan spell at Whaddon Road ended miserably as an unused substitute in the 2-1 defeat to Wycombe and he has returned to parent club Birmingham after no agreement was reached to keep him.
Fellow loanee Shaun Jeffers has extended his loan from Coventry by a further month and he will be pushing for a start following another substitute appearance on Saturday, although Yates is unlikely to tinker with his side too much after what he described an "excellent" New Year`s Day performance despite the defeat.
The only injury concern within the camp is again winger Josh Low, who continues to struggle from a hamstring problem that has kept him on the sidelines for the past month.

It's time for e-learning to become common place in public schools, starting with snow days.
Sharin Tebo on 29 Jan 15Just because students are not at school doesn't mean the learning stops. What instead of mandating kids have internet access at home, there are pre-made activities that don't foresee the dependency on the Internet and instead, can be approved by a parent/guardian signature that such learning activities took place during the day off school for whatever reason.
Online learning also helps teachers reduce their stress load. It provides a predictable avenue for educators to budget their curriculum goals with available teaching days. Finally, e-learning days provide students with academic consistency and predictability, eliminating any snow day confusion.

By the time you read this, a good 24 hours after the dawn of 2013, I'm willing to bet that half of all the resolutions made on New Year's Eve already have been tossed out the window. Maybe not yours per se - you may be made of sterner stuff than the norm. And if so, bully for you - but half the resolutions all the same.
It's hard to change your habits, especially the big, bad ones, and an arbitrary starting line doesn't make it any easier. In fact, I'd say that since we are programmed to expect our New Year's resolutions to fail; most of them are doomed from the start.
But since making resolutions are an annual habit - and habits, as I said, are hard to break - far be it for me not to present a list of my own.
Let's start with the least original.
1) Lose weight. I have a jump-start on this, having lost 50 pounds since July. Unfortunately, I found 15 of them again by year's end, but I refuse to concede the fight as I have in the past.
I'll grant you my incentive is ridiculous: There was a camel I was unable to ride at the State Fair because of a weight limit. I hadn't planned on riding the camel until I was told I couldn't, and I still have no interest in playing Lawrence of Arabia, but dangit, that camel and I have a date in August. Count on it.
2) I read 104 books in 2012, a personal best as an adult. I don't have a resolution to surpass this total or even equal it; mainly, I just wanted to brag.
3) Write more, and earn more money. If the former earns me the latter, swell. If I can only choose one, I'm nearing 40 and I have four kids: I'll settle for the dough.
4) Bellow less. I'm not the quietest guy in the world. I should work on that.
5) Continue to improve upon 2012, a year I dubbed "The Year of the Comeback." I started 2012 in financial peril and with a marriage that was going through rare rough waters. Start to finish, it was a year of clawing our way back. Back to a semblance of financial stability and back to being a family unit that worked. It was largely successful (knock on wood), but it sure wasn't always pretty.
As a history nut, I liken my year to how the Allies must have viewed 1942. There were great victories such as Midway, and they closed the year knowing the tide had turned in their favor. But looking back, it was still a year that featured Stalingrad, Bataan and Guadalcanal - definitely not 12 months they ever wanted to repeat.
6) I resolve to spend less time predicting the demise of my hometown and more time encouraging its success. There are a lot of concerns facing Milwaukee, from the quality of our public schools to the future of business growth in the Menomonee Valley. Too often those issues aren't seen as challenges - meaning something that can be overcome - but instead as blunt proof of our decline. I'm guilty of this myself; more than once I've lazily passed judgment on our future whenever the newest problem comes to light.
For 2013, I'm going to try a new M.O.: concentrating on offering a solution and leaving the fortune-telling to psychics and charlatans.
Whatever your resolutions, and no matter how many of them failed to survive the first few hours of the year, may 2013 bring you health and happiness. Happy New Year!

Great post, quickman and thanks to jetpack for bringing it to our attention. McCay is perhaps one of the greatest cartoonist/illustrators of all time. There is so much influence among the illustrators of today and they don't even know it. His line work is incredible.
If I remember correctly, Gertie the Dinosaur was the first actual animated movie done in the traditional manner.
How long do you think it took him to do that last one (down right laziness)? Great stuff.

I read in one of his books that he drew the equivalent of a whole Sunday Page of comics EVERY DAY, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The man was a machine!
so I'd say that last one took him somewhere around half a day if I had to guess...

John Canemaker's thick bio book "Winsor McCay: His Life and Art" is an excellent read. Check your local libraries.
Actually in the book it mentioned that he had an assistant redraw the backgrounds. Cel wasn't discovered yet at the point so everything was done per sheet. "Sinking of the Lusitania" is a pretty amazing feat of animation too.
Some sad accounts near the end of his life (if I remember correctly from the book) like he didn't bother patenting some of his innovations and one anecdote of technology theft by another animation pioneer.
He and Hal Foster are giants when it comes to draftmanship. (Both born in Canada by the way.) And you'd think they went to fancy art schools in their time when you look at their works but in fact they honed their skills in humble environments. McCay as an artist for Circus troupes and Foster drawing women's lingerie for catalogues. (Foster, once he got a job as a commercial artist in Chicago at the age of 28, took night classes at the Chicago Art Institute - where Andrew Loomis also studied).

Terrific 1870 Standard Silver Dime in Copper1870 10C Standard Silver Ten Cents, Judd-828, Pollock-918, High R.6, PR65 Brown NGC. Attributed to William Barber, the obverse depicts a seated figure of Liberty facing left and supporting a shield in her right hand, an olive branch in her left. A free-standing liberty pole is present behind the shield. On the reverse 10 CENTS is within a wreath of cotton and corn, with the inscription STANDARD above. Struck in copper with a plain edge. The USPatterns.com website states that about a dozen examples are known of this pattern, but we estimate that fewer pieces may actually exist.

The fields are deeply mirrored, the devices are fully brought up throughout, and there are no mentionable contact marks. (PCGS# 61072)

Corpus Christi residents give mixed reaction to reduced senior center hours
CORPUS CHRISTI - Corpus Christi residents in their golden years had mixed reactions Thursday to the city's plans to cut hours at half of its senior centers.
It would mean less time to socialize and be active, which some seniors feared would cause more of their peers to end up in nursing homes. Others said they understood the city was going through tough times.
City Parks and Recreation Director Michael Morris shared the reasons for the decision Thursday during lunch at the Lindale Senior Center where 84 seniors were served a hot meal.
The City Council is discussing how to close a $11.5 million shortfall for the next fiscal year, which begins Aug. 1. A budget proposal presented June 7 suggests the council approve a higher tax rate and cut $5.8 million from the general fund.
The parks department would see $1 million of those cuts, which Morris said means reduced hours at Broadmoor, Northwest, Oveal Williams and Zavala senior centers. The city has eight senior centers. Four supervisors and four assistants would have their hours trimmed to part time.
Harley Doerfler, president of the Lindale Senior Center Site Council, said he didn't think staff with reduced hours would continue to work for the city with a smaller paycheck and no benefits.
"You're taking away from us a member of our family," Doerfler said. "You're taking away someone we trust and depend on each and every day. It really hurts."
Morris said the decision wasn't easy. He chose the centers at which to reduce hours based on those with the lowest attendance and number of activities.
Last year the city proposed closing Zavala Senior Center but later restored it to the budget. This year the department instead recommended the city cut back operation hours, said City Parks and Recreation Superintendent Elsa Muñoz, who oversees senior community services.
The eight centers average about 1,000 seniors a day. Many drive themselves to the centers or ride the bus. They come for a meal, companionship and activities, such as dancing.
T.C. Chadden spends most of his time at the Zavala Senior Center. He lives halfway between Lindale and Zavala but decided to join Zavala because he likes the people there and is able to work on his Spanish. He's also a member of the center's chair volleyball team, which practices five times a week.
"I don't like it period," he said, of the proposed reduced hours. "They should look for reductions in other departments. I'm sick of them making the wrong decisions."
Barbara Whiteside said she understands the city is going through a difficult time. She suggested some of the senior centers consolidate to save money.
"The government does not owe us a living from cradle to grave," she said.
The city budget cuts came from department heads who put together a zero-base budget plan that assessed the costs for each department to deliver city services. The city asked them to figure out what they needed more of, less of and what services the city could stop providing.
City Council budget discussions will continue every Tuesday at City Hall for the next several weeks, except for July 5. The council plans to have its first vote July 12.
City Manager Ron Olson has asked the council to approve the effective tax rate, which because property values are down citywide must be higher than last year's rate to bring the city the same revenue. The rate would increase from 58.2 cents per $100 valuation to 63.5 cents per $100 valuation.

that reported participating in Provision 2 or 3 (not in a base year) during from 1 to 4 of the past 5 years. There were 287 districts that met these criteria. The panel worked with FNS to obtain contact information for these districts. Working with its regional offices, FNS provided e-mail addresses for 100 of these districts, each of which was sent a survey questionnaire via Survey Monkey. Twenty-two districts completed the Internet survey.
Of the 22 Internet survey respondents, 1 had not implemented a special provision and was out of scope. The number of schools in these districts ranged from 2 to 90, with an average of about 16. Enrollment ranged from 1,100 to 49,000, with an average of about 8,300. Most of these districts reported operating under Provision 2. One district reported operating under Provision 2 in the past, but could no longer afford to participate because of district finances. One school reported operating under Provision 2 for breakfast only. The others all reported operating under Provision 2 for both breakfast and lunch. Eleven reported having implemented Provision 2 districtwide.

Labour Accused Of 'vote-rigging' Plot
LABOUR councillors have been accused of trying to rig the vote on whether Watford should have an elected mayor.
LABOUR councillors have been accused of trying to rig the vote on whether Watford should have an elected mayor.
The accusation follows publication of the September edition of Watford Council's Watford Today newspaper which carries a front page story on the mayoral election debate.
Liberal Democrat leader Iain Sharpe, who is opposed to an elected mayor, says the report aims to mislead readers into supporting a mayoral referendum.
That, he says, is propaganda, a misuse of public funds and in breach of the council's duty to remain neutral.
Councillor Sharpe feels the article, headlined 'Mayor is ahead of the field', is a lengthy argument in favour of an elected mayor, together with an unsubstantiated assertion that there is growing support for the option of a mayor.
Councillor Sharpe added: 'It is a misuse of funds to use public money for a propaganda campaign in favour of the Labour council leader's preferred option of an elected mayor.
'To be using the council newspaper to promote one particular option is to try to rig the results of the consultation.'
Watford Council is expected to remain impartial in a referendum and is expected to carry out public consultation on four possible options for changing the way the council is run.
Leader of the council Vince Muspratt said: 'The article printed was a result of public consultation and does not urge people to support the idea of an elected mayor, it states the outcome of the survey.
'The article was produced in an impartial way and it informs, not influences, the public .'
Chief executive Alan Clarke said Councillor Sharpe had lodged no formal complaint.
Mr Clarke added: 'We operate under tight guidelines to ensure all council publications provide information and are not propaganda.
'Articles in Watford Today are checked by our legal department to ensure they comply with regulations and this was the case with the front page article in the September issue.
'The purpose of the article was to inform all residents about what local people have said to us so far about options for change in the way the council is run, and also about some new options produced by the Government.'
Watford Council is planning to hold a referendum on whether the town should have an elected mayor early next year.

Must-Click Link: Doug Glanville's disappointment with Marlon Byrd
Jun 27, 2012, 5:46 PM EDT
We've heard people piling on Marlon Byrd for his positive PED test as if he owed them something and, frankly, it's pretty unseemly. Contrast this with an excellent column from Doug Glanville today which outlines true disappointment.
In it Glanville explains how veterans mentor young players and how young players grow up and do the same to the next group of kids. Glanville was Byrd's mentor when the latter came and eventually took over his job with the Phillies, and he describes how that all works and the sort of relationship that is formed if everyone has their head on straight.
Byrd, by almost all accounts, had his head on straight his whole career, which is why Glanville is saddened to hear the news about the PED test. It's not a judgmental thing like you get from the sanctimonious jerks in the media. It's the sort of valid and honest disappointment one can only have for someone about whom they care deeply as Glanville clearly does for Byrd. And based on the tone, it's a disappointment, one suspects, that will one day go away because good people eventually make amends when necessary.
Great reading.
- seeinred87 - Jun 27, 2012 at 8:21 PM
Good read. I wonder if knowing that will mean anything to Byrd.
I loved this part in the article, too:
"Byrd was in my group of four hitters. I was slated to lead off as the veteran in the group. I declined. I told Byrd to "step in there, rook." Floyd drilled him. Lesson learned: Never hit first against an excited rookie early in camp."
- Jason @ IIATMS - Jun 27, 2012 at 10:01 PM
THere are fewer more thoughtful guys than Glanville. Love reading his work.
- vanmorrissey - Jun 27, 2012 at 11:12 PM
Nice story, thanks for the link Craig. Often pictures are painted as either black or white but reality is tinged with all shades of gray. Reasons are his own for doing what he did and sometimes we just don't understand where a person is coming from but that's the way life is. Glanville is great as both a writer and his commentary on ESPN.
- romoscollarbone - Jun 27, 2012 at 11:33 PM
I always appreciate insightful perspective. Thanks for the link.
- badmamainphilliesjamas - Jun 28, 2012 at 6:31 AM
I liked Glanville as a player, but even more as a writer . . . great insight on the game of the head and heart.

Sherwood Ross: If you want a glimpse into the soul of a nation, visit one of its prisons. California is no exception. It's typical.
Power, Sex, and Money
Saving Public Redevelopment Agencies
Dear Terminator, Lay Off Our Executioners
David Holtzman: Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger can help. In what very little time he has left in office, he can give his legacy a considerable boost by commuting the state's hundreds of pending death sentences to life in prison without possibility of release. As a Los Angeles resident on the world's stage, he should be sensitive to his image at home and abroad.
What Activists Can Learn from Schwarzenegger and Obama
Arnold Ignores Kennedy Legacy in Vetoing Farmworker Overtime
California's Class Warfare Heats Up
Joseph Palermo: California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently submitted a "budget" to the legislature that eliminates CalWORKS, the state's highly successful welfare-to-work program that is needed now more than ever. This move would make California the only state in the nation to dismantle its safety net.
Nurses Have Whitman on the Run
Randy Shaw: Two weeks into her general election campaign, Meg Whitman has already proved that she has not followed politics in recent years. How else to explain her already picking a fight with CNA and Rose Ann DeMoro that the candidate cannot win, and that makes her look worse with each passing day?
West L.A. Screening, Panel Session Benefits Clean Money's "Yes on Prop 15″ Campaign
AB2727 – The Bradford/Bass Re-Entry Employment Opportunity Act: Addressing The Lifelong Challenges of Ex-Offenders (Not A Minute Too Soon)
Anthony Asadullah Samad: If California is serious at reducing its prison costs, ex-offenders will have to be re-trained and employers will have to be more tolerant of people trying to get their lives back on track. Is that even possible? One thing about American culture, as it relates to any offender, is that despite we profess to being a forgiving society, or want to redeem the best in those who have made mistakes, the truth of the matter is that it always lets the ex-offender know that they are just that, "ex-offenders."
The Birthers Ruined Schwarzenegger's White House Chance
Tina Dupuy: The Republicans siding with the Birthers and generally ramping up of the anti-immigration sentiment, are shooting themselves in the foot. And not just with Latino voters. Schwarzenegger is by far the most popular and (gasp) competent of any other candidates vying for the nomination in 2012.
Stop Wasting Money on the Death Penalty!
Lame Duck Terminator
Joseph Palermo: Schwarzenegger's hackneyed "State of the State" address was pathetic and unconvincing. If it weren't for his acting chops and his ability to emote on cue, he couldn't get away with the simplistic platitudes that roll off his tongue. Then again, if he couldn't act he wouldn't be governor either.

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (Chichester)
Editorial Staff • West End • 6 May 2005
Joe McFadden (pictured) plays window washer J Pierrepont Finch with disarmingly innocent and candid insincerity. Following the instructions in the book of the title (voiced by Alistair McGowan), he enters the world of big business and quickly scales the corporate ladder to the position of Vice President, missing few opportunities to stab his colleagues in the back on the way. In keeping with this year's Festival theme of "Con Art", Ponty never actually lies, but cleverly manages to give everyone the impression that he's charming, hardworking, and well connected.
Everyone, that is, except the Big Boss' nephew Bud Frump, a not-very-bright mother's boy in an inspired, comically athletic performance by David Langham, who keeps his lowly position in the firm purely by nepotism. As said boss, JB Biggley, James Bolam seems to thoroughly enjoy himself. No more so than when crooning "Love from a Heart of Gold" in an extravagantly over-sentimental manner with his mistress Hedy La Rue (Annette McLaughlin as a bottom-wiggling dumb blonde).
Francis O'Connor's sets just get better and better. This one, in an Art Deco style, is as brilliantly inventive and stylish as ever, smoothly, swiftly and almost invisibly re-arranged by the actors between each scene. While never reaching the breathtaking heights he achieved for the chimneysweeps in Mary Poppins, Stephen Mear's solid choreography is performed with gusto by the splendid ensemble to the accompaniment of the 12-piece orchestra. The spirited rendering of song and dance "Brotherhood of Man" ensures an uplifting finale.
Given that this show has music and lyrics by the legendary Frank Loesser, it's surprising that the only familiar-sounding song is "I Believe in You", sung by Ponty to his own reflection in the executive washroom mirror. Nevertheless, all of the numbers are extremely tuneful and very relevant to the show.
In terms of theatrical history, How to Succeed... may not have achieved the enduring success of Loesser's Guys and Dolls (soon to be revived in the West End with a stellar cast led by Ewan McGregor), but Martin Duncan's cracking production does well to help us rediscover the charms of this funny and enjoyable little gem. It certainly kicks Chichester's 2005 festival season off on a high. And that's no con.

The mud is flying on late-night television these days.
And it's coming from all corners. Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien have turned their ire toward NBC over the "Tonight Show" debacle toward each other.
Even David Letterman, no friend of NBC, is chiming in.
And plenty of other television personalities have piped in as well.
With so much mud flying, ABCNews.com thought it would be useful to have a primer on who said what. Below, late night's mudslinging match:

What a pain. It started out OK, but within a couple months I was having paper jamming problems. It either jams or takes all the paper in the feeder at once, and your single page is printed out over five sheets of paper! It's so bad now, that the only way to print a document with more than one page is to turn off the speed printing, set it to "fine" and single feed each sheet of paper. A total pain. To be fair, my son has one of these printers and has had no problems. Also, after about 30 printed pages, the output has lines in it and I have to clean the printer heads! Also, if printing photos, this printer is extremely fussy about using Epson name brand paper.
Works great, reasonably fast, easy to install, no problems other than no printed operating manual which I would prefer but I'll manage with on-line version.
Have had no problem with this since I have had it. The only problem I have is the price of the INK repeat INK PRICE TOOO HIGH.
Not entirely thrilled with printer wish it was easier to hook up & use.
I did the set up - installing the drivers & won't print still - no one to call to help ... frustrating

Tonic seizures are fairly uncommon. They occur mostly in people with
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. This is a severe form of generalized
epilepsy that begins in early childhood. (Children
with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome may also have atonic seizures.)
When a tonic seizure occurs, the muscles in the body contract and the entire body stiffens. This occurs suddenly and without warning. And it often causes the person to fall down.
People who have tonic or atonic seizures are likely to be injured
when they fall. Children may have to wear helmets and restrict their activities
to prevent serious injury.

See, this is yet another example as to why jocks must be careful with who they have around in their entourage. Lakers big man Jordan Hill's name is twisted up in drama and it really has nothing to do with him. Hill's friend Michael Lacey was driving his Bentley, drunk apparently, and crashed into an apartment complex. Check the deets below: A Bentley registered under the name of Lakers forward Jordan Hill crashed into an apartment building in Marina Del Rey early Saturday morning. The driver of the vehicle, 26-year-old Michael Lacey, was arrested on DUI charges. There was a female passenger who was not arrested.The accident happened around 2:21 a.m. in the 13900 block of Marquesas Way. The vehicle was totaled when it hit the luxury apartment. L.A. County Fire treated at least one patient on the scene but no one was transported to the hospital. Neighbors said they saw blood in the complex. "I heard a loud crash and then a splash," one neighbor said. "I guess the driver ran away. There was blood all over the gate that he jumped over." Lacey is also a basketball player, but not a professional one. Couple of things here. First, where are you running to? Now I realize that Jordan lives a few blocks over from the crash but, there was a passenger in the car, you were hurt and your prints and blood is everywhere. And even if you had got away, do you think the girl was going to take that L? Or that Jordan wouldn't say who had his car? He has a career to maintain. Clearly the criminal life isn't for you. Second, what type of basketball player are you if you're at home in March? 26 is too old to be on spring break and still be playing college ball and I don't think overseas leagues are home yet so, you're actually just a professional friend. Lastly, don't drink and drive kids. I assure you the fine associated with this and possible jail time or community service isn't going to be fun.
