Courtesy of reddit we are able to see a pretty phenomenal scouting report from 1984 on the great Bo Jackson. The one thing that stood out to me throughout all of the comments is the fact that someone actually gave Bo a 7 on running speed! I only remember amazing games and highlights of Bo crushing it in the speed category and that he ran a reported 4.12 second 40-yard-dash at the NFL combine. "Can simply do it all" sums up the man pretty well. [Reddit] Article found on: Next Impulse Sports

Pokemon Pearl Review
When I first got this game, I thought it would be fun but still have that boring Pokemon feel (you know, going from town to town can get pretty boring and redundant), but when I started playing, it sucked me in and I couldn't stop playing. It still starts out the same, you just went out with your friend when a group of Pokemon attack and you have to grab one of the three Pokemon starters (fire, water, grass) and then because you fought so well you get to keep it and end up going on a quest to get all of the badges, beat the Elite Four, Stop the evil team (team galactic in this case), and, well, "catch em all".
One of the best parts about the new game is the choice to access the underground. The underground is a system of tunnels spread all across Sinnoh (underground), and when there, you can dig for spheres (underground currency), evolution stones, and fossils. You can also create your secret base and steal your friends flag when both going down at the same time (not Wi-Fi compatible). Another thing that is good about this game is that because it is on the DS, the graphics are better and it actually looks like the buildings are buildings and not giant stickers slapped on the ground.
But what happens in one of the latter installments of this series is that a lot of the sounds are recycled and does not sound as crisp as it could have been. But don't get me wrong, the music for this game is amazing. The music in Sunyshore is so inspirational and fun to listen to, I went into the city and just listened to it for a really long time. One of the newer things that I experienced is the national dex. Once you see every Pokemon in the Sinnoh dex Professor Oak comes and gives you the national dex. This dex has a spot for every single Pokemon in the whole series. "But how do you catch them all if pearl only has Sinnoh Pokemon" you ask, there are three ways. 1. Pal Park: If you recall this game is on the DS and the DS has a GBA slot. So if you put Fire Red, Leaf Green, Ruby, Saphire, or emerald in and go to the Pal Park, you are able to migrate 6 Pokemon every 24 hours and then go in and catch them, what makes it even better, you automatically catch them! 2. Online trade: In Jubilife City there is a place called GTS. Inside you can start up Wi-Fi and ask for a Pokemon, this results in a group of trainers from around the world appearing and you can talk to them and see what Pokemon they would like for the one you want. There is also deposit, which is where you deposit a Pokemon and check back later to see if someone has made you and offer on it. 3. Battle "Island" An area that is only accessible after beating the elite four, the grass and water holds Pokemon from other games.
One of the things that is really dumb is the "Event" Pokemon. There are 3 legendary Pokemon that need "special Nintendo events" to capture. This is a really stupid way because it means that you can only catch them all if you somehow find a way to get something that is almost impossible to get.
Even so if you are a fan of Pokemon or just want to get a good game for the DS that is easy to rack up over 100 hours, get Pokemon Pearl of Diamond.

"I so love, when you lift the veil of your soul for me, to enter into that private sanctuary where you live completely alone with Him who wants you all for Himself and who creates a beloved solitude within you for Himself. Refresh Him there, my little Germaine, by resting in HIm; listen to all that is being sung in His Soul, in His Heart; it is Love, infinite Love that envelopes us and wants us to share even here below in all His beatitudes. The entire Trinity rests within us, this whole mystery that will be our vision in Heaven; let this be your cloister.....Mine too: I am "Elizabeth of the Trinity," that is, Elizabeth disappearing, losing herself, letting herself be invaded by the three; you can see that we are very close in Them, we are completely one, aren't we?"
In general, men are more egotistical than women. Men tend to cling to the things that make them peculiarly themselves. Women, on the other hand, intuitively understand the meaning of Mary's fiat: that it is in the act of self-abandonment to the Most High that Christ is conceived into this world. I think God gave women this capacity to lose themselves in another because He desired women to be mothers, When a woman is with child, there are no clear boundaries between self and other: the two are one. The walls which surround the ego are much more porous, because women must be open to being physically inhabited by another. It's this distinctively feminine capacity to dissolve the distinction between self and other, of bride and Divine Spouse, which made me think Bl. Elizabeth might belong in a profound theology of woman.
Your quote and comment, I'm sure could launch conversations in a thousand directions. I hope you have had some follow up. I'd rather talk about life in the Trinity and beatitude truly begin here on earth. In terms of beatitude, I think a male counterpart of Blessed Elizabeth's youth, passion, and magnanimity is Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, a hero of mine.
I would agree that men, in general, struggle with egotism. However, to collapse any lengthy syllogisms, I could not help but recall Maureen O'Hara's fictional character in The Quiet Man. There are forms of pride (vanity, selfishness, etc.) and attachment to material things and maternal strings that men do not do not struggle with. Women perhaps are less aloof and more contextual. So, maybe letting go of one's identity based on career/work would be more difficult for men as it was for Peter and the apostles. St. Ignatius' preparation to leave the great mission of the Jesuit after 15 minutes of prayer comes to mind. I sense both genders struggle with clinging onto their favorite "Russian potato". I have been blessed with many great spiritual mothers and sisters. This is all anecdotal, but in a Bible Study I was in, there was general ageement among the mena and women, that whereas men might struggle with bragging (egotism) they struggle with gossip, in some ways a more pernicious vice.
It is so difficult to not speak in generalities at such a short length! Thank you for your overlooking any of my shortcomings in this area!

Former USI golfer, basketball player tees it up | TIM ETHRIDGE COLUMN
FRENCH LICK, Ind. - Brett Melton knows more than a little about competing — and about winning.
The North Daviess High School and University of Southern Indiana graduate is a two-time Indiana Golf Association Player of the Year. He took the title at the Indiana Open in 2008. And along with golf, he spent two seasons playing basketball for Bruce Pearl, including with the 1994-95 NCAA Division II national champions.
<IF YOU GO>What: PGA Professional National Championship
When: Sunday, June 27 to Wednesday, June 30
Where: French Lick, Ind. (Donald Ross and Pete Dye courses)
Field: 312 golfers, cut to 70 after two rounds
Purse: $500,000 ($75,000 to winner)
Admission: Free, with shuttles from the casino parking lot
TV: 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday and 2:30 to 5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday on The Golf Channel</IF YOU GO>
So don't expect Melton, now club pro and part-owner at the Country Club of Old Vincennes (formerly known as the Vincennes Elks), to be intimidated next week when the PGA Professional National Championship arrives at French Lick Resort, bringing along 311 other competitors and The Golf Channel's live cameras.
The four-round tournament, which runs Sunday through Wednesday on both the Donald Ross and Pete Dye courses at French Lick, is informally known as the "club pro championship."
"The great guys have been playing the U.S. Open but this tournament is the big one for those of us who don't get to play as much as we'd love to," said the 36-year-old Melton, who qualified for the event for a sixth consecutive year. "We give lessons, we run our pro shops, we deal with club tournaments ... all the stuff that keeps the game going.
"So it's nice to get a chance to go out and do what we love to do, which is to play golf and compete against other guys. There really aren't any nerves to it, because you look forward to it for so long."
It's also a chance to make some money. The total purse is $500,000, with $75,000 going to the winner — University of Illinois golf coach Mike Small took his second championship last year.
The winner also gets exemptions into six PGA Tour events during the following 12 months. The top 20 not only get paid, but receive an invitation to the PGA Championship to compete against the touring pros.
Melton has made the cut to the low 70 and ties in all five of his previous appearances, earning slightly more than $30,000.
His best finish was sixth, at Kiawah Island, S.C., in 2005; he tied for 44th at Twin Warriors in Santa Ana Pueblo, N.M., last year.
The sixth-place finish got him into the 2005 PGA Championship at Baltusrol in New Jersey, where after one round he led Tiger Woods by three shots. Alas, by the end, Woods rallied from an opening 75 with three consecutive rounds in the 60s to finish fourth behind winner Phil Mickelson while Melton went 72-75 and missed the cut by two strokes. Still, he said it was a great experience.
"I'm probably like a lot of guys in that I chased the dream a little bit," said Melton. "I played the Canadian Tour, where I was fully exempt one year, played some Nationwide events ... but I didn't do real well. Now, I've settled in to some of the realities. Club pros never get to play as much as we'd like. You have a business, so you have to find a way to balance that and still stay competitive.
"I try to chip, hit some putts when I have some free time during the day. In the late evening, at this course, I can go play (holes) 1, 2 and 3, then be back in the clubhouse to take care of business. That's the way it is."
But next week will be different. Melton, who also has served as a teaching pro at Country Oaks Golf Club in Montgomery, Ind., and worked at courses in the Chicago area after earning his PGA affiliation in 1997, will be concentrating solely on golf.
"It definitely is a big deal," he said. "You'll have a live television audience, you'll have a lot of guys out there who were just a breath or two away from doing really well on the (PGA) Tour, and you'll be competing. I think that's why a lot of us first got into golf, so it's great to get the chance in a national event like this."

Brunswick to Ballarat – Car-free family holidays by bike
We're a family of 4 living in Brunswick, Victoria bastion of bike culture; some might quip Melbourne's answer to Amsterdam. With the help of bikes, good public transit and long-term membership of car-share company Flexicar we have been car-free for nearly eight years. We love our bikes! Currently there are 7 treadlies in the garden shed. Needless to say, cycling is part of the family gene pool. Brunswick is blessed with a vibrant local bike culture and the infrastructure to support families to ride to get to shops, supermarkets, childcare, kindergartens and schools. Lots of great socialisation happens on the ride to kinder and school for parents and kids alike; its great exercise, and there's the added bonus that with riding bikes our kids have really gotten to know and appreciate the finer details of their local environment and community. Sadly recent Deakin University research reveals more and more children are missing out on these enjoyable experiences as a result of spending so much time commuting by car and seeing their neighbourhoods from out of a car window.
So with cycling at the centre of our daily life we decided it was time to take a holiday by bike. For our first foray we decided on Ballarat which prides itself as a bike-friendly city with bike lanes, paths and rail trails as part of the larger tourism package. We did a bit of online research to help us plan for a 3 day trip over the Australia Day weekend and even came up with a bike-friendly Motel to stay in.
On this trip we had Kim riding a Jamis Commuter 1 and Jarrah (aged 9) on a (soon to be hand-me-down) BYK E450, both purchased from the ever helpful Velo Cycles. Meanwhile I rode our much-loved Xtracycle Radish originally sourced from and maintained by Huw Vellacott and the chilled-out crew at Commuter Cycles. Our youngest son Rico (age 5) came along for a comfy free ride made possible by the Radish's accessories – the Magic Carpet, Footsies and Stoker Bars.
We packed lightly, about one bag per person, with a few extras such as swimming gear. All up the luggage was easily taken care of with Kim's two bike baskets and the large hauling capacity of the Radish.
Our little adventure started with a short ride to Brunswick Station, and onto the last carriage of the train for the trip into Melbourne's Southern Cross Station. We deliberately left in the middle of the day to avoid any peak hour congestion and potential hassle.
Negotiating the lifts and turnstiles with fully laden bikes at Southern Cross Station was surprisingly trouble-free. The Radish – with its long tail – easily fit into the elevators with all of us squeezing in. Putting bikes on intercity and regional trains in Victoria is free and apparently much easier than it was in the past. That said it is still at the discretion of individual V/Line train conductor to allow bikes on board. It is possible to be denied boarding a train with a bike if it is too full. With this in mind I was a little concerned about fitting the Radish into the bike storage area on the Velocity train taking us to Ballarat. Our conductor gave us a momentary worried look as we turned up on the platform with three bikes, especially concerned about the length of the Radish. But fortunately he was very helpful and even escorted us to a section of the train where there were fewer people and two bike storage areas (which are indicated on V/Line trains by a blue bike symbol on the carriage).
With a little manoeuvring we managed to load the Radish back-end first into the bike space without it blocking the aisle of the train carriage and then secure it to the BYK E450 with the Velcro straps attached to the cargo railings. Our other bike was securely stored in the adjacent carriage. Easy! We grabbed seats right next to our bikes and then enjoyed the hour long trip to Ballarat.
The other surprise was how cheap this journey was. The return fare for 2 adults was under $50.00 with the kids on this occasion riding for free.
Off the train at Ballarat Station
A short ride (about 15 minutes) got us to the bike-friendly Sovereign Park Motor Inn. We got a little lost due to relying on cycling directions from Google maps. (Good reminder that Google maps are basically set-up for car travel.) The motel was 4 Star and might not suit everyone's budget. However the facilities were fantastic for families and included a recreation room, play equipment, and a fabulous indoor pool. They provided us with a private lock-up storage room for the bikes, and the motel even has a bike maintenance area and a bike wash. Motel staff did everything to make our stay easy and enjoyable. One of the managers told us that only a few weeks before they had accommodated the Orica Green Edge team for the "Nationals" Cycling Australia's Road National Championships hosted in 2013 by Ballarat.
Bike friendly motel facilities
The best sources of information to get around the city came from TravelSmart maps on the Ballarat BUG website and also available via Ballarat City Council. The Travel Smart Map was an excellent way to work out how the city's bike friendly streets, bike lanes, paths and trails connected up.
The first day we spent cruising around what is considered Ballarat's jewel in the crown Lake Wendouree. With a steady breeze blowing and gorgeous sunshine we were not disappointed. The ride through town was a combination of bike path and bike lanes. Only one steep category climb along Dana Street got some of us off our bikes and walking! Once we cleared this hill it was an easy ride to Lake Wendouree. The wide streets en route had excellent bike lanes and the historic homes and public architecture in this heritage precinct were a delight to ride through.
Lake Wendouree is encircled by an unsealed, well-maintained gravel trail suitable for walking, jogging and most bikes. There are also on-road bike lanes for the road bike fraternity.
The ride around the Lake was an easy 6km, with pit-stops including the enormous Ballarat Community Adventure Playground (a huge hit with our boys), the picturesque Botanical Gardens, and the friendly, laidback Ballarat Lakeside Farmers Market.
As we loaded up our fresh produce from the farmers market into the Radish (ya' gotta love loading fruit 'n' veg into a bike named after a vegetable), some locals remarked that one of their musician friends was also riding a Radish in Ballarat – and used it to transport her cello! It was nice to know that long tail cargo cycles are not only a capital city phenomenon.
Over the 3 days we also rode to the The Unicorn on Sturt Street for dinner. Kim and I enjoyed sharing the Barramundi in beer batter with chips and the boys went down the comfort food route with yummy baked beans on sourdough toast. Local artwork on the walls and Nat King Cole on vinyl and an old turntable were a nice retro touch.
With these short rides around town we began to notice an absence of proper places to lock up bikes. Lydiard Street (one of the main drags) and Ballarat Station seemed to be the exception. For a city with a population of more than 94,000, pretty visible bike infrastructure and cycling as a tourism marketing push, we were curious as to why there were not more hoops and racks to securely lock up your bike?
One of only a handful of bike hoops we found to use around downtown Ballarat
On our final day we headed to the Ballarat Art Gallery, and were reminded that Australia's regional art galleries are cultural treasures. We indulged in a pricey but stellar lunch at Sweet Decadence at Ballarat Art Gallery. I had a delectable mocha with handmade chocolate which I won't forget in a hurry – fuel for the train and bike ride back to Melbourne!
Kim's Jamis Commuter 1 and Jarrah's BYK E450 snugly strapped in for the train trip back to Melbourne
Negotiating elevators on our return to Melbourne's Southern Cross Station
By the end of 3 days we felt like we had barely scratched the surface of what is on offer for cyclists of all persuasions in Victoria's third largest city. Ballarat by train and bike from Melbourne was a perfect option for us as a family. We have friends who have even made it a day trip just to get out of town and have a ride around the lake. Apart from the sheer fun of an active two-wheeled holiday it was interesting to further road-test our urban and regional (bike-friendly) transit infrastructure. More can always be done but it was a joy to celebrate and make use of what we have here in Victoria.

"Miracle Microgreens" – For Home, Early Childhood Settings and Schools
About 12 months ago I came across an article in Organic Gardener Magazine Jan/Feb 2012 by Justin Russell on Microgreens. Microgreens are a super fast super food that are easy to grow in a wide variety of containers, well suited to confined spaces such as courtyards, apartment balconies, in a well lit corner of a classroom or a partially shaded outdoor space in a childcare centre, preschool or school. The basic idea is to plant yummy stuff from seeds and harvest them while they are still small and a little bigger than sprout-sized. You do this continuously before the seedlings get large enough to require transplanting into larger pots or into the garden.
I was so inspired after reading this article that I went crazy and set up about 6 or 7 different pots and containers with a wide variety of microgreens at home.
Our first experiment Red Lentils, Snowpeas, Coriander (Cilantro), Lucerne (Alfalfa) and Mung Beans
As is recommended we sowed a lot of seeds, maybe a few too many in some of the smaller containers but in the end we couldn't eat all that was on offer fast enough. First time round our children were not that crazy about the taste of most of the greens with the exception of Coriander (Cilantro) so maybe that was also why we were struggling to eat what kept popping up?
Having the microgreens just outside the kitchen door meant we could cut some to spruce up a basic salad or instantly put some greens in a sandwich. We used scissors each time to harvest only what we needed. Quick and easy a bit like giving the plants a little haircut!
When the microgreens got a bit old and a little too big we simply emptied the entire contents of their pots into our compost bin and dug it all in then started again.
(You could also chop up old microgreens for the worm farm. If you had larger quantities of for example alfalfa or peas you might be able to dig them directly into a garden bed as green compost).
Since our first attempt we have grown microgreens more modestly so that nothing is wasted. Now our children are appreciating more the yummy symphony of flavours that come with growing a wide variety of uber nutritious greens for soups, salads and sandwiches.
We have also experimented with growing mixes of microgreens in the one container which whilst not looking as appealing as single crop pots are a very fast way to get a variety of greens ready to easily harvest.
Mixed microgreens
Having set-up food gardens at home, and as a parent/teacher assisted with their set-up in kindergartens, child care centres and in a school; I'm well aware of the time, effort and persistence needed to start these projects and then keep them going/growing. Not that I want to discourage others from pursuing the full blown food garden option, but this is where microgreens might have a role to play…
Growing microgreens in some circumstances may be a more do-able, less time consuming option for busy individuals, families, folks living in high rise apartments or educators wanting to green the curriculum and sustain children's engagement with nature and healthy whole food.
For those working in the Australian early childhood sector: growing microgreens might be one of the ways to help meet the Australian National Quality Standards and Regulations (ACECQA 2011) related to Standard 3 Physical Environment:
- 3.2.1 Providing children with quality nature-based experiences;
- 3.3 Services actively support environmental care and sustainability and,
- National Regulation 113. Outdoor space – natural environment.
Here are some suggested microgreens to grow:
- Lucerne (Alfalfa)
- Mung Bean
- Lentils
- Garlic Chives
- Salad greens
- Rocket (Arugula)
- Spinach
- Lettuce
- Kale
- Pak Choy
- Mustard
- Silverbeet (Chard)
- Beetroot (Beets)
- Beans
- Peas
- Fennel
- Fenugreek
- Coriander (Cilantro)
- Chives
- Daikon Radish
Recently planted – Alfalfa, Rainbow Chard, Red Lentils & Fenugreek

Somatics of Space
Another weekend in Sydney (Australia) my original hometown, that's three trips in
the last 3 months. Sometimes the flight into Sydney from either north or
south can be breathtaking. We tracked in from Melbourne along the line of
the Blue Mountains, part of eastern Australia's Great Dividing Range. The
serpentine basin of Sydney's main watershed Warragamba Dam passing
slowly by. Then the precipitous honeycombed sandstone of Kanangra Walls
National Park clearly in view. All this enveloped by blue-green haze – a
phenomenon which is created by the transpiration of vast eucalypt forests.
The plane turns right and heads out to sea. Remarkably remote beaches
appear below with clear sightlines of surf, sand and little evidence of major
human habitation. We are in a holding pattern and clearly see where the
continental shelf falls to the expanse of the Pacific Ocean. The high coastal
cliffs of Royal National Park appear, disappear and reappear before we finally
turn to the city that awaits and come into land…
I'm finishing some postgraduate study at University of Technology Sydney
(UTS) which I have meandered through for nearly a decade. The fact that
UTS has allowed me to meander for this long says a lot about them as a
learning community. Other places might not be so patient, flexible and at
ease with my pause-play path.
I really like UTS, I've been a student there through 5 different postal codes.
Some had 4 numbers some had 9!? I've worked out that I've lived in 13
different post codes, 15 different houses and apartments at last count. All
those places – slept in, showered in, bathed, cooked at, made love in, raised
children in, gardened, lawn mowed, snow shovelled, driven, ridden, walked
away from, loved, loathed, longed for, left.
There have also been a lot of Universities. I don't have a particularly sound
explanation for why there have been so many – I've been a student at 5,
taught at 2, lived on campus for a summer at one. Gone to the library on a
regular basis at another. Used all their facilities even though I wasn't going
to that University and, they even gave me an ID card so I could borrow
books! I mean please, that seems pretty generous and accomodating. Now
don't get me started on the all-encompassing benevolence of public libraries
that deserves a separate write-up.
So I am at UTS for the third time in 3 months, and anyone who knows
downtown Sydney well, will know UTS, whether they are a student or staff
member there doesn't matter. They will know UTS Building 2 Broadway
campus. When you step off the train at Central Railway Station you're
confronted by a towering poo brown phallus festooned with assorted ITC
bling – ariels, microwave links, mobile phone pods and "UTS" in enormous letters
emblazoned at the top. Pre-unification East Berlin public architecture never
looked so benign. Still scratching my head as to why so many Australian
Universities sent their consultant architects off to communist Eastern Europe
to source their design aesthetics. The UTS tower is on par with Melbourne's
renowned but thankfully demolished Gas & Fuel Corporation Building another
poo brown smudge on that city's skyline which made way for the popular
civic spaces of Federation Square.
For the past two visits to UTS for weekend intensives our classes have been
located in UTS Building 10. The design history and story of Building 10 is
fascinating in its own right, the place has even won major architectural
awards. Now I don't profess to be architecturally literate but I have to say
that my felt sense of being in Building 10 and working there was really
striking. It was a pleasure to walk into the light filled atrium of this
refurbished and retrofitted space. It was a joy on both occasions to work in
this environment, to actually hang out there. The University in its wisdom
has recognised that hard working students need some soft spaces in which to work.
Now soft spaces is a term used in early childhood education to mean spaces that are literally soft: inviting, relaxed, full of cushions, pillows maybe blankets, soft toys and perhaps books. Spaces where children can curl up on the floor with a book, a doll, a teddy or maybe go and have a little nap, highly civilised I might say and conducive to self regulation, relaxation and learning.
UTS's version of this was lounge areas with over-sized comfy armchairs where you
could curl up with a tea, coffee, breakfast, lunch or dinner, your laptop and
of course wireless internet service. But there are also breakout rooms for students to work together with whiteboards, tables and get this big cushions, soft squishy stools and chairs! My student colleagues
and I spent a whole day in one of these rooms. I sat on a squishy stool most
of the day and came out with no back-ache or stiffness – remarkable.
Now all of this might be an emerging trend. First signs for me was rocking
chairs in transit lounges and high quality jazz being broadcast at Chicago's
O'Hare Airport some 5 years ago. More recently the Moroso Lounge in
jetBlue's Terminal 5 at JFK International Airport NYC. Our family arrived on
a red eye flight from Oakland California in June of this year and enjoyed lying
and rolling around the soft and inviting furniture of the Moroso Lounge
waiting for our final flight to Portland Maine. The recognition seems to be
dawning that people have to stuff themselves into a certain shape in order
to travel or work in certain situations and this is not always conducive to the
wellbeing of their bodies. Perhaps a recognition or regard for embodiment?
It is exciting to think that there are people who are putting their hearts and
minds to these questions. Articulating the importance of the somatics of
space and the embodied dimensions of design in the contemporary
world. Italian doctor, psychotherapist and Body-Mind Centering®
practitioner Jader Tolja has written eloquently on this subject more broadly
described as body conscious design.
It is 6:30pm on a Saturday night I head out the door of UTS Building 10 and wend my way to Sydney Airport on the train then into terminal-transit-lounge-land, no soft spaces in sight. My plane to Melbourne (Avalon Airport) is delayed, finally taking off, sleep beckons, we land, doors disarmed cross checked, opened. I walk down the gangway onto the tarmac, the darkened sky surrounds, the smell of grass and earth saturates my nostrils. I expand with this momentary infiltration of nature. Smiling at this contradiction I walk away from the solitary towering shape of the parked but still noisy Airbus jet. Ahead of me the long bus ride, the short tram trip
and home – two more shape shifts before bed.

Metallica rocks 'n' reels at Comic-Con
The mighty heavy-metal band previews scenes from its upcoming 3-D IMAX movie, then rocks out live at the Spreckels Theater
If Metallica had really wanted to test the depths of evil, it could have thrown in a song or two from "Lulu." That controversial (well, for many Metallica fans) 2011 album was a collaboration with Velvet Underground co-founder Lou Reed, based on two proto-expressionist plays by German writer Frank Wedekind about sexual degradation and violence.
But even Metallica knows when not to push things too far, smartly realizing that, sometimes, saying "never" is a very smart move (and, the band hopes, movie).
So, instead of exploring its experimental side, minus Reed, the band ripped through such tried and true Metallica gems as "Fuel," "Sad But True" and "Nothing Else Matters." The band performed each with such ferocity it seemed as if Metallica's reputation depended on it. Many in the loudly enthusiastic audience nearly word for word.
And, clearly, this was an audience that knew its metal very well.
When original Metallica guitarist Lloyd Grant (who briefly played in the band early on), quietly took his seat Friday, several dozen audience members asked to take his picture and get his autograph.
"Anyone here actually from San Diego?" Hetfield later questioned the crowd, which included some Comic-Con attendees dressed as super heroes.
"Wherever you're from, we hope you're having a good time. Do you like your music heavy? That's a stupid question. Do you want it heavy? You know Metallica gives you heavy, baby!"

About the term
Six years is the normal term for Oklahoma appellate judges, but four of the judges — Combs, Smith, Thornbrugh and Hetherington — would serve unexpired terms that would end in January 2017.
Court elections
• In Oklahoma, district and associate district judges run for election against other candidates, but appellate judges do not have opponents on the ballot.
• The retention system is designed to remove politics and fundraising from appellate court positions.
• There are nine justices on the Oklahoma Supreme Court, 12 judges on the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals and five members of the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals. Their names appear on retention ballots on a staggered, rotating basis.

In the 12 years I've been writing about intelligence, I've heard from more practitioners of the craft than I can remember that women make better spies than men. Better analysts, too. And I don't just hear this from women. Indeed, I think I've heard more male intelligence officers say that their female colleagues' "intuition" and "patience" makes them particularly well suited to the painstaking job of cultivating sources or making sense of fragments of information. The thinking goes that there's something about the way women solve problems versus the way men do it, and something about the way women listen, observe, and even nurture other people that often yields better results.
The evidence to support this theory is, as far as I know, entirely anecdotal. But I've always found it compelling. I recall talking years ago with Michael Scheuer, who ran the CIA unit tracking Osama bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks, that women made up the bulk of his analytic team, and that he thought they'd done a superb job. Was there something about their gender that predisposed them to being better at this kind of work than men? Scheuer seemed to think there was.
Another former intelligence officer shed more light on this idea when he recounted his own experiences tracking terrorist groups for the Army. Erik Kleinsmith, whom I write about in my book, liked to rate analysts using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which assigns people to one of 16 personality types depending on how they process information and make decisions. Kleinsmith thought the best analysts excelled at "sensing"; they tended to solve problems by relying on what they could see and touch in the physical world, on facts. Kleinsmith was a sensor, according to Myers-Briggs, as were most of the analysts on his team—who were mostly women.
Certainly the CIA leadership believes a woman is qualified to lead analysts. Fran P. Moore is the current director of intelligence for the agency, overseeing all its analytical work. And right now, the CIA director, John Brennan, is considering whether to put a woman in charge of the National Clandestine Service, the operational side of the agency. She is now acting in the role. (Her name has not been revealed publicly.) And filmmakers have turned to women as protagonists in spy stories, including Homeland, Zero Dark Thirty, and the upcoming documentary Manhunt, based on the book by Peter Bergen about the hunt for bin Laden.
Women intelligence officers I've heard from don't dispute that their gender gives them some practical advantages, even if they can't put their finger on precisely why. Three former CIA officers took up the discussion this week on the New America Foundation's "In the Tank" podcast. Valerie Plame Wilson, Nada Bakos, and Lindsay Moran, who all had exciting, challenging, and even historic careers in the spy business, thought being a woman gave them a leg up in certain respects.
As a female case officer, "you are less threatening," said Wilson, who was a CIA operations officer for 20 years. "And without going too far over the top, I do think women are more intuitive and much more cognizant of body language, picking up signals, and things that are really important to reading potential recruits."
"There's a lot of patience involved with following some of the issues," said Bakos, who was a CIA targeting officer and helped track Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, work that relied on a fusion of intelligence gathering and analysis, in concert with special forces. "I think women are probably a little bit more patient at pulling the threads and piecing some of this together."
"I was not a mother when I was a spy," said Moran, who was a CIA case officer from 1998 to 2003. "But I realized later when I did become a mother that that maternal instinct kind of plays into it, too. The foreign agents you recruit, you're really taking care of them in a way. . . . You're kind of like a psychiatrist or a therapist to them. You're listening to them. I think women are conditioned from a very young age to sit back and listen in a way that men aren't."
Moran noted an obvious disadvantage for women in the field: Most of the people they're trying to persuade to spy for the US are men. Men they're meeting with in parked cars, or in hotel rooms. "You have to walk a vey fine line between flattering that person . . . [and] at the same time making it clear you're never going to sleep with them."
Of course, the United States hasn't had a woman at the helm of the CIA. Tara Maller, the host of the New America Foundation podcast, has a list of reasons a woman should get the job. I like reason eight: "Plenty of women are qualified for this role." That should be the determining factor. But isn't it interesting to think about what a woman might bring to this job that a man might not? We've had plenty of time to consider the inverse. I suspect, given recent events, that we're soon going to find out what a female director can do.

No problenm, as long as the BB shell is threaded for an available cartridge type. English and Italian threading would be would be examples for which there are plenty of choices.Originally Posted by funbun
You can get French or even Swiss Phil Wood cartridge BBs from Sheldon. Alternatively, you can probably replace just your spindle with one designed for cotterless cranks, as I have done on several bikes, including two Peugeot UO-8s. The variables are spindle length, distance between bearing surfaces, and the thickness of your BB cups.

Bianchi: 1981 Campione d'Italia, S/N 1.M9914

Yes, I have done this recently on a 70s/80s (?) Raleigh that is now my regular commuter. Measured up the BB shell length and diameter; spoke with some helpful people at SJS cycles (UK shop); ordered a Shimano sealed BB in the correct size; removed old cottered cranks, BB shells, bearings etc.; cleaned and greased threads and screwed in the new sealed unit using a Shimano BB tool. The tricky part for me was getting the right spindle width as I was converting from 5 speed deraullier gears to Nexus 4 speed hub so had to take care to get the right chainline; everything is working fine and haven't had any problems in almost 1000 miles.Originally Posted by funbun

On the eleventh episode of the SBS drama "Fashion King" on the 23rd of April, Lee Ga-yeong (Sin Se-kyeong) chose Kang Yeong-gul (Yoo Ah-in) instead of Jeong Jae-hyeok (Lee Je-hoon).
Le Ga-yeong was jealous of the relationship between Choi An-na (Yoori) and Kang Yeong-gul, and wrote a goodbye letter to him in tears. Angered by the fact that Kang Yeong-gul was together with Choi An-na, Jeong Jae-hyeok found Lee Ga-yeong and said, "I will ask you for the last time. Your life depends on it, let's go with me".
While she was hesitant, Kang Yeong-gul returned and said, "What are you doing with my employee?" Lee Ga-yeong asked Jeong Jae-hyeok loudly for Kang Yeong-gul to see, "When do I start working?" Jeong Jae-hyeok replied, "We don't have to stall time. Let's just go now" and walked out with her hand in his.
Angered, Kang Yeong-gul even carried out her luggage to where Jeong Jae-hyeok's car was. Then Jeong Jae-hyeok put her in the car saying that she could stay in his house since she didn't have a place to go that night.
However, Kang Yeong-gul followed them out and held her wrist. Lee Ga-yeong was dragged in by him back into the shop and Jeong Jae-hyeok couldn't believe it, she had chosen Kang Yeong-gul.

Name that search engine!
Dear HiveMind, please help me think of a name for a new web project I'm building. It's essentially a "genealogy search engine in a box", based on a customized build of Apache Solr. It will allow moderately tech savvy genealogy geeks, whether individual genealogists or small genealogy organizations, an easy way to index and search datasets of names and any related data, with a nice front end UI for doing searches. Notable features include faceted search (by record year, record town(s), record source, etc.), soundalike surname searching, customizable given name synonyms (i.e. searching for "Becky" also finds Rebecca), and pop-up Google Maps linked to record locations. And the entire project will be open source. The project is already about 90% completed, but I need something snappy to call it before I can release it. Ideas welcome!

Hey Voice, you there? I have a proposition for you, it would lead to the rekindling of Sniper Division. Send me a PM so we can chat.

I'm sad to hear that Sniper Division is being shut down.

Anyway, I also wonder whether you still have any contact with the modellers/texturers/animators and if you could perhaps point them in the direction of the Mod Resistance and Liberation.
If they're willing and able to contribute to that mod, they're more than welcome to apply. I just have to ask, because what has been shown of the content they've created has been of extremely high quality.

In the Industrial Economy, compensation was driven by individual rewards for individual performance. Salary, bonuses, stock options and pension plans were linked to individual output, and increased in value as employees progressed up the org chart.
In the Connected Economy, where group collaboration is more important than individual performance, compensation needs to reward desired behaviors as well as individual output. While fair pay and benefits remain the bedrock of compensation, today's employees are attracted to work cultures that improve quality of life as well as the size of their bank balance.
Adapt Reward Systems to Millennial Values
While millennial workers are ambitious and strive for financial success, studies have shown that up to 88% prefer a collaborative work-culture to a competitive one. They care less about titles, status and salaries, and more about purpose-driven work projects with an opportunity for personal development while using their current skills as part of a team effort.
Build a Global Reward System to Match Local Values
In global organizations it's essential to understand how preferences for different types of rewards and compensation can vary across geographies. A study by consulting group EY which looked at securing and retaining top talent in emerging markets found that non-cash benefits were being underutilized as a tool for recruiting and retaining talent across the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) countries.
The EY study also found that secure and steady current income was more important in Russia, future earning potential was valued more in Brazil and India, while stock options and equity-based pay were more popular in China.
Use Training and Development as a Reward and Retention Tool
Millennials entering the workforce today are well aware that their education will need to continue long after their graduation ceremonies. They recognize that the demands of our rapidly evolving workplaces will require a commitment to continual learning. Progressive organizations understand that millennials see training and development opportunities as part of their rewards and compensation package. Millennials are often motivated more by a how a job can prepare them for the challenges of tomorrow, as they are to how well it rewards their performance today.
English proficiency is seen as a critical business skill among millennial graduates in emerging markets, and many leading organizations are now working with PEBS to integrate the offer of English learning into their reward and retention programs.

ONE is the digital platform that gives every employee the opportunity to participate in company-wide activities, while simultaneously improving their Business English skills.

Rebecca Cordingly
'Too proud,' he said, 'too proud, relax your eyes. Clear your forehead of lines. Think of your destiny. Not too sullen. A smile in the eyes.' My nose is itching.
He's asked me not to move but my fingers have locked out and my little finger no longer feels part of my hand. I want to look and check that it's still there. These gloves are turning limp, my sweat crushes, steams them out of shape. They will be stained, yellow, soured, the must of ageing leather. I twist them very slowly in my hands. He doesn't see.
Mannish. I look mannish in this coat. A huge, shapeless bear. Too hot. Pray god he makes my neck dainty.
I swallow back the turbulence inside. I will match his eyes with knowing, my calm will haunt his sleep.

Report: NHL won't announce Torres decision until "at least Saturday"
Apr 20, 2012, 4:00 PM EDT
According to various sources, the fate of Raffi Torres won't be decided today.
That's the word from RDS' Renaud P. Lavoie (and The Sporting News' Sean Gentille), who are reporting the NHL won't announce the results of Torres' in-person disciplinary hearing with Brendan Shananan until "at least Saturday."
The Torres-Shanahan meeting occurred on Friday at the NHL head office in New York.
TSN's Bob McKenzie reports that Torres and Coyotes GM Don Maloney are flying back to Phoenix today and won't be available for comment anytime soon.
"I would be shocked if there's a decision from NHL today," McKenzie tweeted. "Plus, I would suspect Shanahan will have to think long and hard on this one."
This is the second time this postseason Shanahan has taken his time making a suspension announcement. The first was when the decision to ban Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw was made roughly six hours prior to Tuesday's Game 3 — despite the fact Shaw's infraction occurred on Saturday and his hearing was on a Monday.
Should note the announcement's timing has no real bearing on Torres' availability for the remainder of this series. He's been suspended indefinitely and, barring a shockingly light ruling, won't play again in the opening round.
The Coyotes and Blackhawks resume their series on Saturday with Game 5 in Phoenix.
Update: The NHL has confirmed Torres' ruling will be announced on Saturday.

So until the series is over, he's not planning on announcing a suspension? Grow some balls Shanny. Don't wait to see if the series goes to a game 6, and Hossa comes back.
- comeonnowguys - Apr 20, 2012 at 4:42 PM
I dunno. If they were gaming for a suspension, the Hawks would be unofficially fanning the flames of this whole "broken jaw" rumor that really hasn't gone anywhere since Tuesday night. Assuming they play games with their lineup like Tippett.
But it sounds like they're treating this like any other major injury, with a giant stonewall.
- Chip Caray's Eyebrows - Apr 20, 2012 at 4:52 PM
I obviously have nothing on which to base this opinion other than my own personal hunch, but I don't expect to see Hossa again this series … and probably not the next, if the Hawks are fortunate enough to advance.
- thehighcountrybear - Apr 20, 2012 at 5:49 PM
The delay mitigates against further success by the Hawks: recalling last year's playoffs, the Hawks used the Torres hit on Seabrook to rally a massive comeback that missed by half an inch when Sharp just caught the goalie's pad on a series winning overtime thrust in game seven [ Burrows was allowed to catch, then throw the puck toward the net in time to step into a screamer for the win; speaking of variable rule interpretation by weak-kneed officials ]? If Torres is back while the present series continues, the Hawks would have Torres to focus Blackhawk hate and there are only two greater motivators than hate, one being money and the other being the 'other'! Were Torres to return as it appears he might if Hawks are eliminated, he'll return after the series is concluded, and the traveling minstrel show that is the NHL head office will give us the full song and dance but instead of black-face, we'll have egg-face and plenty of it! Yolking aside, one may ask…why? Franchises struggling to make payroll or survive in their market have historically found themselves on the favorable side of rulings on and off the ice pretty much since 2004 and 2006 when Calgary and Tampa and Edmonton and Carolina all cried poverty! In 2012, we have Nashville and Phoenix in the same straits, so look for Gary and Brendan to put on their chef's hats real soon? Omelette anyone…
- mb65dod - Apr 20, 2012 at 5:53 PM
What is Shanny waiting for? To see if Hossa will play on Saturday? Certainly he did not wait as long to see if Smith is OK after the collision with Shaw… It is getting better and better. I've lost any respect I ever had for Shanny.

text: As the poster boy for cool jazz in the '50s, trumpeter and vocalist Chet Baker symbolized, at least briefly, that decade's soulful underside. But rather than ascend the throne of celebrity, he remained the outsider, the quintessential beautiful loser. For the next three decades, Baker wandered in and out of the spotlight, with moments of brilliance scattered amidst physical decline and personal travails. After getting his teeth knocked out in a drug-related scuffle, he quit playing for years. When he finally returned he was still powerful, but something of a haunted presence. An acclaimed Baker documentary, LET'S GET LOST, was released in 1987, but the next year Baker fell out of a window while under the influence of drugs and died a death as tragic as much of his genius-speckled life.

While the Minnesota Timberwolves have struggled of late, getting back home could be just what they need to regroup. Kevin Love's return would surely help, too. Seeking a sixth consecutive home win for the first time in nine seasons, the Timberwolves try to slow down the surging Houston Rockets on Wednesday night. Minnesota (13-12) enters this game having dropped three of four - including Sunday's 94-91 loss at New York. Nikola Pekovic had 21 points and a career-high 17 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who shot 7 of 23 in the fourth quarter and couldn't hold on to a late lead "We battled. We had a great game, it just didn't go our way there in the last couple of minutes," J.J. Barea said. "We just couldn't get a break there at the end and I think it hurt us." Minnesota has to like its chances of regrouping at the Target Center, where it's strung together five straight wins while averaging 101.4 points - 5.9 more than its season mark. The Timberwolves haven't captured six in a row ...
