'Culture of bullying' at north Cumbria care home
Last updated at 17:41, Thursday, 30 January 2014
Plastic syringes left to dry on a rusty radiator, two staff members who had not been police checked and a "culture of bullying" have all been highlighted at a care home.
Inspectors have published a damning report into Meadow Bank Nursing Home in Curthwaite, near Carlisle, after an unannounced visit.
National watchdog the Care Quality Commission (CQC) ruled that the home had failed all eight of the standards it was inspected on.
It deemed the situation so poor in two areas that it has taken enforcement action and called on the provider to make immediate changes.
Home provider and manager Linda Whalley told the News & Star she understood the home had been given a poor report, but reassured residents and relatives she has already begun to make changes.
The inspection was carried out on November 21 but only published yesterday.
Cleanliness and infection control was one area in which enforcement action has been taken. The report states: "We observed several plastic syringes used to give people oral medication left drying and exposed on top of a rusty radiator.
"The one functioning bathroom for 19 people in the home, plus other people coming in for day care, had no window ventilation, nor did the shower room. The bathroom was not tiled nor had any other wall covering; these walls were rough and had been painted.
"There was a bathroom cupboard with a number of shower and bath gels and a plastic cup that contained both a toothbrush and a razor, which suggested that people were sharing toiletries. Generally this bathroom was not a pleasant room in which to take a bath."
The second standard where inspectors ordered urgent action was in assessing and monitoring the quality of service provision. "We were told that annual legionella checks were not being done and we saw that fire risk assessments were not being carried out," they wrote. "During the inspection we saw a number of areas where the quality of provision was poor."
Other areas of concern included staffing levels and staff training.
The report says: "We found that the appropriate checks were not always taking place. For example, we found that a new staff member had been employed and worked on a night shift without the proper checks being carried out.
"One of these checks was to see whether the person had a police record that would prevent them from working with vulnerable people."
It continues: "We also found that another person providing services to the provider and working in the home had not had the appropriate checks, including the police check."
Support for staff was also criticised, as it emerged that one vulnerable member of staff had been bullied to such an extent it had resulted in a safeguarding meeting.
"We were told by some staff that the home tolerated a culture of bullying," the report says. "We identified that staff who were known to use bullying tactics towards other staff had not been appropriately supervised or reprimanded by the home's disciplinary procedures. We had been informed by social services that one such incident had resulted in the safeguarding meeting of a vulnerable staff member. When we looked at staff files for the perpetrator we did not see any supervision for inappropriate behaviour and there were no details of this incident on file."
The report also highlights a lounge which can only seat 10 of the 19 residents – not including the day care visitors; issues with the heating system which led to one resident being heard to call out "I'm cold"; and inadequate monitoring of food and fluid intake for those people with a high risk of malnutrition.
However, residents praised the staff for the care they received and the CQC report did identify two areas of improvement: the appointment of an activity co-ordinator, and the services of a self-employed handyman for 15 to 20 hours. Mrs Whalley said: "I have already started to put things in place to remedy many of the issues raised, so hopefully we will have a good report next time."
She added that the care given by staff had been praised by residents and she continued to support her employees. "And they support me," Mrs Whalley added.
Malcolm Bower-Brown, CQC's regional director for the north, said: "We were extremely disappointed to find these shortfalls against national standards at Meadow Bank Nursing Home and have warned the provider that immediate improvements must be made.
"We continue to monitor the situation carefully and we will inspect again in the near future to ensure residents are being given the service they are entitled to expect."
He added: "If we find the home has not made the required improvements, we will consider the need for further regulatory action to ensure that residents receive the service they are entitled to expect."
This is the latest care home in north and west Cumbria to come under fire from the CQC.
Last year we revealed that nine homes in the region had been found by the watchdog to be failing on at least one basic standard.
In a special investigation, the News & Star highlighted concerns over malnourished, unwashed and dehydrated residents and unclean and poorly-staffed homes. MPs, social care experts and health bosses united in their call for immediate action, admitting that adult social care was a "ticking timebomb" which needed urgent attention.
While many of those have since improved, others such as Beacon Edge, in Penrith, have since emerged with their own shocking tales.

The Batonga Foundation enables and empowers adolescent girls in Mali to complete their secondary education by providing them with scholarships, school supplies, uniforms, and after-school mentoring programs. Batonga provides girls with the tools and the mentoring they need to change Africa and become leaders in their communities.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Only 39.6% of women in Mali are considered literate. Adolescent girls are particularly at risk for early marriage, pregnancy, HIV/AIDs and gender discrimination. Many parents often feel it is a waste of time and money to send a girl to school. As a result, secondary school is out of reach for most girls and only 17% of girls enroll, but even fewer actually complete their studies.
How will this project solve this problem?
Batonga scholarships provide school fees, uniforms, after-school tutorials, and mentor programs that connect girls to volunteers in their community who encourage their successes. Girls acquire an education, self-esteem through regular mentoring sessions, and the chance to support themselves in a healthy and economically secure lifestyle. These all-encompassing scholarships not only implore girls to complete their education, but they also promote their future economic and social empowerment.
Potential Long Term Impact
This project will help over 40 poor, orphaned, and war-affected girls complete their secondary education and become leaders in their communities. When girls are educated and empowered, the effect is transformative. They are more likely to marry later, have fewer children, protect themselves against disease, generate more income, and help to boost the economy of their community and of Mali.

California parks director resigns amid scandal
A preliminary investigation shows the parks department underreported two funds as far back as 2000.
The state parks and recreation fund, which is generated from park fees and rentals, held $20.4 million more than was reported. The off-highway vehicle fund, which is generated from registering ATVs and similar types of vehicles, held $33.5 million more than reported.
Laird said it's difficult to say whether the money would have prevented the state from targeting dozens of parks for closure.
"It would be hard to assess. Of course it would assist," he said.
California operates 279 parks, which include famous beaches to redwood forests. The parks that were at risk of closure got a reprieve last month after the governor signed Evans' bill allocating new funds for the next year. The state has also reached agreements with nonprofits, local governments and others to keep 40 parks open at least for a few years.
Jerry Emory, communications director for the California State Parks Foundation, a nonprofit that raises money to benefit state parks, said the organization was stunned by the accounting problem.
However, he said the foundation does not expect donors to pull back because the state has already reduced maintenance and operating hours.
"What's happening in Sacramento is very unfortunate," Emory said. "We hope it gets corrected and it never happens again in the future, but we have our eye on the prize, which is always to make sure state parks stay open and accessible to Californians."

DAY 4 – Monday
I woke bright and early to a perfect Colorado day…sun shining…birds singing…twisty mountain roads beckoning. I was energized and eager to hit the road immediately. Mike was hiding under a mountain of pillows and, I suspect, hoping for a couple more hours of sleep. Sucker! I was up, showered, and packing my bags inside of 15 minutes. Then, as was our daily ritual, I woke Mike in the gentlest way I could think of…the delicate melody of the Braun Model 5610 XP Electric Shaver/Alarm Clock with a full charge…a sound that Mike may have later described as a 2-stroke weed whacker against a chain link fence…it's important for one to look his best before heading to breakfast; no?
Mike was up and moving…begrudgingly, but moving nonetheless. I suspect that he was excited to finally see the Rockies today so he didn't complain nearly as much as I was expecting. It was probably 6:00AM at this point. I consulted the map while he got ready. I'd really like to ride up Pike's Peak today, but I-25 to Colorado Springs blows and the route through the mountains to the west is fairly time consuming so we'd probably end the day somewhere south or west of Denver. That's OK, but I had promised Mike we would take a full day off from riding on Day 5 and I didn't see an ideal spot for that to the south; not without going way down to the southwest corner of the state to Ouray or Pagosa Springs. I love those places as base camps, but we didn't have enough time for that on this trip. Instead, I thought we might ride up Mt. Evans this morning instead and then head north to Rocky Mountain National Park and the mountain town of Estes Park; one of my favorite places for the past 20+ years and a good spot to take the day off from riding.
We cruised down to our complimentary breakfast and watched the weather forecast. Record high temperatures slated for the Front Range today, 100 degrees, but we're heading west and up to higher elevations. Perfect!
We packed the bikes and prepared to hit the road. My clutch was still suspect, but there was feel in the lever once again and I had convinced myself that it was most likely a heat issue related to our long charge on the super slab. Maybe it would be better in the mountains with cooler temps and much more frequent shifting. I topped off my oil, having burned about ¼ quart on the ride out. Mike decided to check his oil level for the first time of the trip, noting that the bike was sounding a little "clunky" when we pulled into Denver the afternoon before. He pulled the dipstick to find that there was no oil – at least none detectable by the dipstick – bone dry.
Now here's the part where I get a little irritated. Back when we were still sitting in an office somewhere, I told Mike that he needed to bring a quart of oil on the trip. This was a lesson that I learned on a previous trip when I found myself in Tennessee with an empty sight glass, no spare oil, and no place to buy it. ON that trip, I hadn't even checked for oil consumption up to that point as most bikes I've owned never lost a drop between oil changes. When I did finally look, it was already a little late and I was down at least a quart. Now I always carry a quart on a long trip and I check my level daily. I had insisted that Mike bring a quart – especially since his dealer had convinced him that Victories only run on a magic blend of synthetic oil, ground unicorn eyelashes, and leprechaun sweat – bottled and certified by Victory Motorcycles Inc. Anything else would certainly mean catastrophic failure.
Guess what? He didn't bring any.
Clearly, while he was taking time out of each day prior to the trip to make fun of my packing list and ridicule my obsessive over packing, he missed the quart of oil in the left pannier. He was probably giggling about the word "pannier". Slacker!
So, here we were at 7:00AM…sun shining…birds chirping…mountains beckoning…temperature rising quickly…and we can't go anywhere. There's a dealer in Lakewood, but they don't open until 9:00. We could be sitting here for a while.
Perhaps sensing my irritation at the notion of standing around for 2 hours to address an issue that he could have easily prevented, we opted to do what all Americans do when they need something, we went to WalMArt. There was one a mile or so down the road. I suspect this may be the case no matter where you find yourself in America. I'd like to despise WalMart for their crappy Chinese products and Borg-like domination of the marketplace, but when I need something, I always end up back there. Curse your extended business hours and total disregard for your employees – you've seduced me with convenience!
Anyhow, we find some motorcycle-specific oil with an appropriate viscosity. It's not officially authorized and it doesn't contain any magic pixie dust, but I'm pretty sure it will do the trick and we'll be able to get back on the road. I suggest Mike buy 2 quarts…one to put in the bike now and one for the ride home…he resists the idea and opts to buy only 1 quart…I'm confident that I'll be annoyed by this decision later in the trip.
Here's Mike dumping in the first quart of oil for this trip. He looks confident that this should be the last time. Doesn't he? It looks top me like that tank bag can easily hold a spare quart or two, but he must be trying to save $10.
That's a good shot of the windshield he finally went with. Its from Memphis Shades and it seemed to work pretty good. Certainly a lot more coverage than the "visor" he originally purchased.

Twins sign former top prospect Jeff Clement to minor league deal
Nov 26, 2012, 11:49 AM EDT
Once upon a time Jeff Clement was a top prospect in the Mariners' farm system, but the No. 3 overall pick in the 2005 draft has spent most of the past six seasons at Triple-A and the 29-year-old catcher/first baseman has signed a minor-league contract with the Twins.
Clement got just 24 plate appearances for the Pirates this year and has a grand total of 421 plate appearances as a big leaguer, hitting .218 with 14 homers and a .648 OPS. And his bat was supposed to be Clement's strength, as the Mariners and Pirates both determined that he wasn't good enough defensively to catch regularly.
Clement has consistently fared well at Triple-A, batting .280 with an .852 OPS in 535 total games there and posting similar numbers in 2012, but for a 29-year-old with limited defensive value that's certainly not particularly impressive production. He'll compete for a spot on Minnesota's bench during spring training, but figures to begin the season in Rochester.

Good luck to him. It must hurt, being known as the big flop from the great 2005 draft.
- historiophiliac - Nov 26, 2012 at 12:47 PM
That's a depressing story, just in time for the holidays.
- proudlycanadian - Nov 26, 2012 at 12:51 PM
On a positive note, he does have a job. Long term, he might become a coach or a scout.
- historiophiliac - Nov 26, 2012 at 1:05 PM
I think most of us would agree that any job playing baseball is better than a lot of other jobs out there. It would beat the hell out of mine (right now).

Good for him. I hope it works out.
- b453841l - Nov 26, 2012 at 2:33 PM
That MLB line of .218 with 14 homers and a .648 OPS could land him a starting gig for the Twins if he can prove he's "gritty" enough.
- ad0330 - Nov 26, 2012 at 3:33 PM
Perfect fit for a crappy team.
- unfortunateminnesotasportsfan - Nov 26, 2012 at 4:16 PM
The mariners and pirates didn't want him, so of course the twins did.. how about signing some f*cking pitchers terry ryan. Ugh. Prick should be fired!

On another bulletin board, Andy Leviss is fairly outspoken. I've not really been a fan of his, since he is mostly a mentalism kind of guy and I'm more of a sleight of hands type of guy, and I rarely see mentalism that appeals to me,
Chad Long lectured this past weekend at the Minnesota "Close up and in the Parlour" convention. Chad is funnier than heck, and skilled to the max.
One of the little bits he did was to remove a piece of gum from his mouth and I don't recall his exact patter, which is MUCH funnier than what comes with this trick but the gist of it was this:
"Anybody need some gum, well that's not so sanitary" at this point he took a well chewed piece of gum from his mouth and squeezed it with his fingers"
"I'll just save it for later" Now he pulled on it a bit, and it stretched into a new unwrapped wrigleys stick of gum.
"Just to complete it..." He waved it once or twice and it changed into a new fully wrapped stick of Wrigleys Juicy Fruit gum.
During the lecture he showed how it worked, and I gotta say, he sold a lot of them, even to the other lectures like Mike Bent and Bob Sheets. This is a clever trick. Its really not much to stand on it's own, but makes a good opener. It would be a funny way to hand a stick of gum to a kid. The whole performance of the effect could be done quite well in 15 seconds, or you may be able to stretch (pun intended) it to a half minute or so. Either way, it really was powerfully visual and definitely a bit of genius on Andy Leviss's part to come up with it. The instructions also document some previous effects from others that led to this. Chad introduces one really powerful addition based on his coin bending routine, which basic"ally allows you to do the effect of "silver shifter for about the cost of a penny, for any coin nationality or composition. The same principle, when applied to "Sticky Situation" totally throws the audience into mental spasms, and increases the cost of the well made gimmick buy maybe a a dime at the outside. The beauty is that you can end up with any type of wrapped stick gum you want, although wrigleys spearmint or juicy fruit will work best.
Just thought I'd post this to the group, it's not a very popular item, at least I've never seen it in stores, but Chad made a big impression with it, and sold one to about every person at the convention. Chad's little improvement is documented and explained in the instructions that come with the trick. Leviss credits Jay Sankey with a similar though different effect, and also credit Chad Long with his improvement and explains that in detail.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 10/30/12
The Utah Jazz have exercised an option that will keep coach Tyrone Corbin under contract through the 2013-14 season. The team made the announcement Tuesday. Corbin was thrust into the job following the abrupt retirement of Jerry Sloan in February 2011. He guided the team to the playoffs despite a strike-shortened training camp and season. Team officials praised Corbin for his poise and steadiness in developing a young team under difficult circumstances. Corbin has a 44-50 record entering this season. The 49-year-old Corbin is the seventh head coach in team history and only the fourth since the franchise moved to Utah in 1979. The South Carolina native played for nine teams during his 16-year NBA career.

YIELD: Serves 4 to 6
Mash the garlic in a large wooden salad bowl, rubbing it well around the sides. Let it stand thus for a few minutes, then scrape out and discard the garlic pulp. Put the anchovy fillets and cheese into the bowl and mash them to a smooth paste. Coddle the egg by cooking it in fast-boiling water for one minute, just enough to cut the edge of rawness. Add this to the anchovy-cheese mixture and work smooth. Blend in the oil and vinegar. Neither salt nor pepper is needed.
Make croutons by buttering the bread on both sides, cubing it small, and browning the croutons in the oven until crisp.
Wash the romaine well, dry and crisp it. Break it into the bowl, sprinkle on the croutons and toss lightly in the dressing until every leaf is coated and the dressing absorbed by the croutons.
For a memorable outdoor meal on a warm summer evening, serve an outsize bowl of Caesar salad with grilled steak sandwiches followed by peach shortcake.

Narrow your search
You know a video game is really, really difficult when a developer has to push out an update to make it playable.
The Flappy Bird creator's next mobile game isn't just more difficult than its predecessor. It may just be one of the hardest smartphone games ever made.
The follow-up to this year's most maddening mobile hit is slated for release later this week. The early takeaway: prepare to fail, a lot.
Flappy Birds Family, a multiplayer iteration of the cult mobile hit, makes its way to Amazon's streaming set-top box.
BlinkyBird is a new Flappy Bird clone from Nothing Labs that brings the addictive game directly to your eyeballs, thanks to Google Glass.
Run for the hills. Flopsy Droid, a clone of the infamous mobile gaming sensation, has found its way to smartwatches running Android Wear.
Copycats of popular apps are the current place of choice for cybercriminals to deposit malware capable of extracting data, sending text messages, and tracking users' geo-locations.
The dormant smartphone gaming phenomenon is making a triumphant return as a multiplayer title, creator Dong Nguyen confirms.
The title requires users to glide through gaps in blocks while collecting squares that will add up to higher scores.
The latest addictive game already has popular parody versions, Gmail beefs up its security, and Samsung has a new TV that costs as much as a house.

Expect swan towels and plastic flowers at this comfortable but slightly dated hotel, best known for its proximity to good surf and fresh fish. A dramatic spiral staircase leads to second-floor rooms, each with an ocean view and either a large balcony or a terrace. Those on the first floor have direct beach access but lack privacy since they are closest to the restaurant. The surf breaks right in front, just beyond the skinny coconut palms. Rooms are standard size, with one king or two queen beds, and a small bathroom. The bright, airy restaurant also overlooks the beach; the menu is limited but the food gets raves. There's a small pool in back and board rental for $20 per day.

Great location, short drive to Jaco Beach or Manuel Antonio. Simple, clean rooms. Quiet, but lively staff and regular guests make for an interesting evening! Bartender, Minor, makes the best drinks in Costa Rica with fresh fruit and homemade mixers. Restaurant is inexpensive and serves fresh red snapper, shrimp, ceviche, as well as items Americans are used to like chicken fingers and french fries. Simple breakfast is included and all you need to start
the day. Great, little pool, hot tub and outdoor lounge area. Computer access, but in Spanish. Long distance phone was not operational. Saw iguanas and exotic birds. Free parking. Beautiful beach with waves to surf or body surf.

Why do I love homeschooling? Let me count the ways:
• I love homeschooling because fixed hours aren't required to learn a subject. When I discovered God had given me a night owl who loved to sleep in, I simply adjusted and made a schedule that worked best for our family.
• I love homeschooling because there are so many fun things to learn. Not only are there great curriculums for covering the main subject areas, but there are also countless extracurricular topics and activities to explore. We once spent an entire week studying birds of prey when we found a wounded hawk in our yard after a severe wind storm.
• I love homeschooling because I have the flexibility to adjust our day depending on what God brings. If my child is grasping concepts quickly and wants to know more in language arts, then I'll keep going and forget about doing history that day. If Dad has an impromptu meeting in another city, I can take advantage of the opportunity and schedule a family field trip.
• I love homeschooling because it gives me an opportunity to really know my children. As a teacher and a parent, I see both their hearts and ther minds, and I have the blessed privilege to develop both in the Lord.
• I love homeschooling because I don't have to wait until school's out to receive a hug and a kiss. I have the joy of loving and being loved by my children throughout the entire day.
Why do you love homeschooling? Start your own list of reasons today and place it somewhere to remind yourself of homeschooling's many blessings. When Satan tries to steal your faith and discourage you, you'll be prepared to stand strong. Instead of asking, "Now, why was it that I wanted to homeschool?" you'll have answers that prove homeschooling is the best job in the world. "Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked" (Ephesians 6:16).
Lord, thank You for giving me the opportunity to teach my children. Even though tough days will come, I know Your presence will guide us. Help me to appreciate the blessings of teaching my children each day. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Universal Morality
The Seven Noahide Laws
According to the sages of the Talmud, there are 70 families with 70 paths within the great Family of Man. And each individual has his or her path within a path. Yet, there is one universal basis for us all.
At the dawn of human history, G-d gave man seven rules to follow in order that His world be sustained. So it is recounted in the Book of Genesis as interpreted by our tradition in the Talmud. There will come a time, our sages told us, that the children of Noah will be prepared to return to this path. That will be the beginning of a new world, a world of wisdom and peace.
At the heart of this universal moral code is the acknowledgement that morality - indeed, civilization itself - must be predicated on the belief in G-d. Unless we recognize a Higher Power to whom we are responsible and who observes and knows our actions, we will not transcend the selfishness of our character and the subjectivity of our intellect. If man himself is the final arbiter of right and wrong, then "right", for him or her, will be what they desire, regardless of its consequences to the other inhabitants of earth.
At Mount Sinai, G-d charged the Children of Israel to serve as His "Light unto the nations" by bringing all of humanity to a recognition of their Creator and adherence to His laws.
For most of Jewish history, however, circumstance did not permit our people to spread these principles, other than by indirect means. When the Lubavitcher Rebbe began speaking about publicizing them as a preparation for a new era, he was reviving an almost lost tradition.
What is most beautiful about these laws, is the breathing room they provide. They resonate equally in a hut in Africa or a palace in India, in a school in Moscow or a suburban home in America. They are like the guidelines of a great master of music or art: firm, reliable and comprehensive -- but only a base, and upon this base each people and every person may build.
"The Seven Noahide Laws" are a sacred inheritance of all the children of Noah, one that every person on the face of the earth can use as the basis of his or her spiritual, moral and pragmatic life. If enough of us will begin to incorporate these laws into our lives, we will see a different world very soon. Sooner than we can imagine.
Acknowledge that there is only one G-d who is Infinite and Supreme above all things. Do not replace that Supreme Being with finite idols, be it yourself, or other beings. This command includes such acts as prayer, study and meditation.
Respect the Creator. As frustrated and angry as you may be, do not vent it by cursing your Maker.
Respect human life. Every human being is an entire world. To save a life is to save that entire world. To destroy a life is to destroy an entire world. To help others live is a corollary of this principle.
Respect the institution of marriage. Marriage is a most Divine act. The marriage of a man and a woman is a reflection of the oneness of G-d and His creation. Disloyalty in marriage is an assault on that oneness.
Respect the rights and property of others. Be honest in all your business dealings. By relying on G-d rather than on our own conniving, we express our trust in Him as the Provider of Life.
Respect G-d's creatures. At first, Man was forbidden to consume meat. After the Great Flood, he was permitted - but with a warning: Do not cause unnecessary suffering to any creature.
Maintain justice. Justice is G-d's business, but we are given the charge to lay down necessary laws and enforce them whenever we can. When we right the wrongs of society, we are acting as partners in the act of sustaining the creation.
That is a beautifully written comment!! And the rest is good, as well.
Please consider the best choice of actions that a life can cause to exist can be measured by 'life'. Good: support life to continue. Bad: loss to the common.
Good combines and lives. The other fades, eventually, every time.

Jews do not murder people who aren't Jewish.
Jews do not force people out of their homes and businesses and into ghettos.
So, I ask you: what gives Christians the right to force people into converting? What gives Christians the right to say that everyone who does not believe in Jesus will go to Hell?
As for consensual relationships -- well, Jews, as well as the Pope are working on that, to some degree of success.
The 21st Century isn't the 1st Century. But some of the mindsets continue to be back into times and writings that our brains and experiences cannot comprehend.
Loving-kindness - tikkun olam -- respect of all -- all will be accepted into the hereafter. THAT is Judaism.
Unfortunately, those have NOT been given to Jews.
"Old Testament" is the Christians' term for the Hebrew bible. It's not old to us.

A) In our discussions of these commandments here you will generally not see reference to the prescribed punishment, as fulfillment of the Torah is not meant to be out of fear of punishment but out of conviction.
B) The punishment is no more than an indicator of the gravity of a given act, not a license to do violence. It is only administered by the Jewish court, and only under specific conditions.
C) Today the courts do not have the power to enforce capital punishment, and so the subject is essentially moot. One's choice to observe any commandment is entirely based on its being a form of worshiping G-d, as it should be.

"C'est la vie," say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.
As surely as Chuck Berry did his part to invent the modern world, it's still full of surprises and the more you try to predict it, the more surprising it seems.
Kentucky, the darkhorse-come-lately after its "greatest recruiting class ever" loses 10 games, reaches the Finals as–get this–sentimental favorite, then is toppled by even-darker-horse UConn… while Warren Buffett banks $10 million for insuring the $1 billion challenge for anyone with a perfect bracket.
Not that Buffett, who was actually squirming in public ("I should be institutionalized") wound up sweating it out. Not a single bracket made it out of the first round.
Unfortunately for UK, it ran into another team of destiny that no one suspected was there, UConn's Huskies who trailed in McDonald's All-Americans, 7-0; started a senior, three juniors and a sophomore—in other words, guys NBA teams didn't pursue–but came out out with a whole bunch of quickness and attitude and won, 60-54.
That long-standing argument among NBA scouts about UConn point guard Shabazz Napier, who was only arguably a first-round pick, is over. Napier won, scoring 22 points Monday, averaging 21 in the tournament and may go in the top 20 with those Wildcat freshmen.
"Hey, I want to get everybody's attention right quick!" Napier announced over the p.a. system to 79,238 in the Cowboydome. "If I could have your attention! Let me get your attention! Ladies and gentleman, you're looking at the hungry Huskies! This is what happens when you banned us last year, two years…."
So everyone went out in character… including Kentucky Coach John Calipari, dogged by another of those reports he's switching jobs–this time to the Lakers!
Even if his people–read: William (Wes, World Wide Wes) Wesley–turn out to be the ones who put it out, Calipari wouldn't even "dignify that stuff," which you have to give him credit for, even if he keeps switching jobs (UMass to Nets to Memphis to Kentucky.)
It's so simple a caveman can do it. This report comes from a tweet by former UK star Rex Chapman–who was seen in Dallas with Wesley–calling it "#DoneDeal …Cal 2 La-La-Land 2 coach Mamba's Lakers. #NoBS"
Rex stood by it–as what he heard. The Lakers denied any such talks… making it look #AllBS, like Wesley's 2010 power play, telling the Bulls that hiring Cal would bring free agent-to-be LeBron James, upsetting James' people who issued their own denial, noting that Wes wasn't part of their process.
It's like the old parable of the athletic director hiring the coach to ferry him across a roaring river. Half-way across, the coach dumps the AD and climbs into a waiting speedboat.
"Why did you do that?" asks the AD.
"I can't help it," says the coach. "I'm John Calipari."
In the good news for Kentucky, Calipari will probably stay if they bump up his deal worth $4 million annually. And even if he leaves, there's no ongoing investigation that would force the school to forfeit all this season's games, as UMass and Memphis had to after Cal's Final Four appearances with them.
As for Buffet, he was off the hook before the tournament's first weekend as No. 3 seed Duke fell to No. 14 Mercer, taking 98% of the entries in Yahoo's official challenge pool with it.
(Special mention goes to Kansas' No. 2 seeded Jayhawks, the darling of NBA draft pundits with their beloved Andrew Wiggins and injured Joel Embiid, whose second-round loss to Stanford would have taken down 85%, if any of them had still been alive.)
Of ESPN's 11.1 million entries, 612 named UK, UConn, Florida and Wisconsin as the Final Four. You can get better odds than 18,137-1 from a numbers runner, but what's life without a dream?
If it's presumptuous to think you can call 63 games with 9 quintillion (or 9 billion billion) outcomes, presuming is what we do these days, with ever more "sophisticated" mathematical models, to get it wrong.
Behind it is the national holiday atmosphere that prevails before the tournament as co-workers fill out the office pools that have made Selection Sunday and the first round, until recently not even part of the networks' package, almost as popular in aggregate as the final games.
The most important bit of data is an understanding of what's discernible and what isn't. Progress depends on both, on pushing the limits of what is known and of realizing when you go down the wrong path.
Welcome to the wrong path. With the internet-mandated rise of short, emphatic takes over life-is-complex "long form" journalism, Pop Math is perfect for compact emphasis. If the 'net wasn't infinite, it would sag under the weight of all the numbers-based claims of the unknowable.
To start with the most renown, Fivethirtyeight's Nate Silver became a star–deservedly–for pulling together errant electoral polling methods into an authentically predictive model. (Before I start in on him, I want to personally thank Nate for getting me through the 2012 election.)

Halloween is just around the corner, and I know I'm not alone in my search for the Perfect Pumpkin. I have grand designs for my doorstep each year, centering around a glorious pumpkin to carve, decorate, enjoy. I know this might sound strange, but my favorite part of pumpkin carving is setting my finished jack-o-lantern by the front door and turning my attention to those delicious nuggets of awesome: pumpkin seeds. Also known as pepitas (the Spanish culinary term), pumpkin seeds are a necessary byproduct of pumpkin carving and my heart aches when I hear friends and family talk about composting them post-pumpkin carving. Simply toasted with salt and paprika for 15-20 minutes yields a batch of crispy-crunchy spicy seeds to
devour snack on, garnish salads, make into candy, etc. Here are my 4 favorite recipes, all gluten free, collected over the years in one form or another, and my favorite October ritual. Happy carving!
Pumpkin Flan with Pepita Brittle
Sweet creamy flan with a smoky-sweet pumpkin seed brittle make this Mexican inspired dessert a must try.
Pumpkin Cardamom Bread with Cinnamon Pepitas
Silky pumpkin and aromatic cardamom make for a little slice of heaven! Add a topping of crunchy cinnamon roasted pumpkin seeds and you won't be able to resist another slice.
Roasted Butternut Squash Salad with Feta and Pumpkin Seeds
Roasty sweet chunks of butternut squash, salty feta cheese, crunchy-nutty pumpkin seeds and roasted corn combine in this fabulously fit fall salad.
Spiced Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Sweet, spicy, earthy and nutty - this simple recipe has it all! Combining all of the characteristics of my favorite autumn comfort foods, there's no reason not to make this healthy snack right now.

Wayne's World Cast Ends 21-Year Feud — See Them Then and Now! (PHOTOS)
To know Wayne's World is to love it. The 1992 film and its 1993 sequel about two dorky cable-access hosts and their rock-and-roll ambitions remains fan favorites — and rare examples of successful movies based on Saturday Night Live sketches!
WW is ;such a fun movie, we had no idea that the filming of the movie was so stressful! Apparently visions clashed and tempers flared between the two leads and director Penelope Spheeris. But the cast reunited for a special reunion screening on April 24 in Beverly Hills and, according to the Hollywood Reporter, they were all smiles.
In celebration of the newfound ceasefire, we've rounded up some then-and-now pics of the actors and updates on their post-Wayne's ;careers. Schwing! ;

Screen Actors Guild Contract Impasse Could Lead to Strike
The decision came early Saturday morning after two days of mediation failed to bridge deep differences between the sides over how actors should be paid for work that is distributed over the Internet. Actors have been working without a contract since June 30.
Although a last-minute breakthrough is still possible, the actors and the studios now look to be inching closer to a costly showdown that would have seemed remote only a month ago.
Despite a rapidly deteriorating economy and the widespread acknowledgment that an actors' strike could cripple Hollywood's production industry, the actors union appears emboldened to put the studios on the defensive.
The coming weeks are a crucial period for the studios as deadlines to decide what big movies to make for 2010 are nearing and Hollywood readies for its all-important promotional event, the
But the bar is high. At issue is whether the actors guild, a notoriously fractious union, can persuade enough members to authorize its board to call a strike should negotiations fail. Strike referendums require 75% approval from those who cast ballots. Because returns typically run low, a minority of members can affect the outcome. However, the board has ultimate say about calling a strike, and recently elected moderates -- who now exert key influence -- would probably approve a strike only if there were an overwhelming mandate from members.
To make its case, the guild said it would now begin a "full-scale education campaign" in support of a strike referendum.
"Management continues to insist on terms we cannot possibly accept on behalf of our members," the union said in a statement. "We remain committed to avoiding a strike, but now more than ever, we cannot allow our employers to experiment with our careers."
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the negotiating arm of the major studios, countered: "SAG is the only major Hollywood union that has failed to negotiate a labor deal in 2008. Now SAG is bizarrely asking its members to bail out the failed negotiating strategy with a strike vote -- at a time of historic economic crisis."
The failure of the mediation effort was not a surprise. Few believed federal mediator Juan Carlos Gonzalez would be able to bridge the enormous gap between the parties. Gonzalez also was unable to mediate a contract dispute last year between writers and the studios.
Among the chief stumbling blocks is the guild's demand for jurisdiction over all shows created for the Web, regardless of budget. The studios said that would constrain their ability to experiment in new media, and instead proposed limiting contracts only to shows above certain budget levels or when professional actors are hired.
Late Friday night, the actors guild signaled that it was prepared to accept the new media pay terms if studios granted an increase in the residuals actors earn from DVD sales, which studios have always rebuffed. Studios offered some tweaks to their previous final offer, but that was rejected in an 11-6 vote by the union's negotiating committee.
The union's 71-member national board previously gave the guild's negotiating committee authority to seek a strike vote if mediation failed.
"I think it was a big mistake for the negotiating committee to terminate the mediation after only two days," said Ned Vaughn, spokesman for the "Unite for Strength" group of actors who have been critical of the union's leadership. "These difficult times require that we exhaust every opportunity to reach an agreement."
In 2000, actors staged a six-month walkout over a commercials contract. If the guild strikes this time, it probably won't be until early next year. A strike referendum takes 30 to 40 days and would probably not occur until after the guild conducted an aggressive campaign to muster support.
Guild leaders are expected to time any walkout to disrupt the
Although union members typically grant strike authorizations to give their leaders leverage in bargaining, securing enough votes could be difficult given the sickly economy and strike fatigue after a 100-day walkout earlier this year by the Writers Guild of America.

'Doing good' with the profits
Social enterprises skip nonprofit status due to its sometimes-costly regulations
"We also thought it would be great to do it in a manner that just through the consumption of a product, you could be helping to bring clean water and eradicate poverty," he said.
If the business model sounds familiar, that's because it's modeled after Newman's Own, the salad-dressing line established in the 1980s that donates 100 percent of profits to charity.
Today, there are social entrepreneurs around the world and many share best practices through groups such as Ashoka and the Social Enterprise Alliance. San Diego County is home to several for-profit businesses that send a significant portion of their revenue to charity, including Nika Water and two clothing companies, Jedidiah and barley & birch. The success of Newman's Own was a catalyst. The Westport, Conn., operation has generated more than $300 million for various causes through a diverse line of products that now includes everything from frozen pizza to packaged cookies.
"Paul himself never wanted to be thought of as a role model," said Robert Forrester, president of Newman's Own Foundation. "I think that's one reason why people do look up to him."
Unlike traditional nonprofits, these businesses don't rely on donations or grants. They make money by offering products or services, which many say is the most sustainable way to change the world.
These entrepreneurs are increasingly choosing to pay taxes rather than seek tax-exempt nonprofit status to avoid the U.S. government's burdensome regulations, such as having a board of directors and filing public reports each year.
"If we had a nonprofit arm, we'd have to staff it," said San Diego business owner Kevin Murray, founder of San Diego-based Jedidiah, which sells Southern California-style clothing and directs 5 percent of its revenues to nonprofits. "You add a layer of expenses that I believe is so unnecessary. The world has so many nonprofits doing amazing work, so as a business, why not partner with them?"
Betsy Densmore, president of the Academies for Social Entrepreneurship in Orange County, said that there is a blurring of distinctions between tax-exempt nonprofits and for-profit businesses with a social mission. At the same time, many nonprofits are looking for ways to generate money — essentially creating their own businesses — because they don't want to rely on donations alone, she said.
"We're seeing that convergence around the idea that in many cases problems can be solved, and at the same time people can get paid for it," Densmore said.
Lisa Nitze of the Social Enterprise Alliance said many such businesses are filling gaps in social services left by government budget cuts. One example is the Pine Street Inn, a nonprofit homeless-services organization in Boston, which created its own for-profit catering business using the kitchen where it prepared meals. The catering business, called Abundant Table, employs formerly homeless people and its profits provide them with training that helps them get permanent jobs.
"What you've got for society is a self-supporting way to be solving social problems," Nitze said, "while at the same time employing people who would otherwise be on unemployment."

"As climate change goes unmitigated and continues to worsen, it seems we can no longer avoid a public debate on the prospect of planetary geoengineering--doing something probably bad to the planet to avert something even worse. It will be an Earth-changing discussion, and no one should feel competent to participate without having first read Eli Kintisch's Hack the Planet, an indispensable introduction to the topic. The scientific ideas he explains and characters he depicts are compelling and occasionally riveting."
—Chris Mooney, author of The Republican War on Science and Unscientific America
"Anyone who considers themselves scientifically literate had better get versed in the new discipline of geo-engineering--or planethacking, as Eli Kintisch calls it in this nuanced and useful new account. This discussion is not going to go away anytime soon!"
—Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth: Making A Life on a Tough New Planet
"Loathe or love it, geoengineering has come in from the fringe. Is rewiring the atmosphere the riskiest weapon against global climate change or the only realistic one--or both? It's hard to imagine a more thorough and accessible guide to the science, and the stakes, than Eli Kintisch has provided."

Bolts believe it will be better to take
He's not the only one looking and talking this way. It's part of a theme all across a team no longer getting to know each other at the same time they're finding out what is expected.
Manti Te'o has been all over the ball much of this camp, including a diving interception off a tip by Shareece Wright on Wednesday. It was the kind of play Te'o made in college, where his instincts took over because he is comfortable in the defense and playing freely.
"I'm no longer thinking of what I gotta do," he said. "I just go and play."
Could this be a three-quarter speed mirage, a good half-dozen practices or even just wishful thinking? Sure.
But the uptick in forced turnovers continues a trend from the end of last season.
Of the Chargers' paltry 17 takeaways, 10 came in their final six regular season games, a closing stretch in which they went 5-1. In their playoff victory at Cincinnati, the Chargers intercepted two passes and recovered two fumbles.
"I think the biggest thing was the takeaways we had in the playoff games and at the end of the regular season was something we have to build on," Pagano said. "I mean what we're trying to do is how we finish those."
