New Direction...weight loss and management is a lifelong journey
Wow, where did 12 weeks go? This is my last blog post as the New Direction champion, but don't think for a minute that I am leaving this program! Twenty-eight pounds have been shed, many lessons have been learned, and I continue to learn new things every day! I have loved being on this journey with those close to me who are a shoulder to lean on when I have a bad day or week, and in turn, I do the same for them.

New Direction...goals can be achieved.
The past few weeks I have been trying to concentrate on what triggers cause me to crave poor choices. I already knew that I was a stress eater, and have tried to substitute exercise or some other activity when I feel stressed out. Having a family with a very busy schedule, this can be quite the challenge, but I am learning to work my workout schedule around all the various activities. I have never been a morning workout person, but am happy that I decided to try a 6 am class this week. ...

So, we are on the search another fun run, or possibly waiting until next year to try and get in again.

New Direction...spring is in the air!
Finally, I think that we can say spring is here. My son's baseball practices have started, and we are outside a lot more. Having his practices at a local recreational park is awesome, because as he practices with his team, my husband and I take turns walking and running on the track that surrounds the field. I love exercising outside. Don't get me wrong, I like the gym as well, but the invigorating outside air really gives me that extra boost of energy. On top of the w...

New Direction...preparation is key to success.
In the past two weeks, I have definitely found the triggers that cause me to not do as well in maintaining my food plan and exercise routine. This past weekend, I sat down with my husband and asked him to help me ensure that I had the appropriate amount of time set aside for myself while not jeopardizing the time I needed to spend caring for my family as well. I am one to always put others before myself, and this has made me realize that with good planning and a support system that the time ...

Working In Weight Loss Workouts
Let's say you go to work for about eight hours a day and spend eight hours a night sleeping. Then there's the time it takes to travel to and from work, the time it takes to cook and eat meals and the time you set aside for all of life's other important responsibilities, like doing chores and running errands. All told, you may spend about 20 hours each day doing things you absolutely have to do. This still leaves you with four hours every day that are yours to use as you see fit. After weight loss&nb...

We have reached an inflection point where the tools of R&D, new materials, and integrated systems are regenerating advanced production and distribution.
A company at the top of its game has accumulated a number of rules' implicit assumptions and beliefs about what has been central to their success. New technologies or business models sometimes challenge these assumptions, creating a dilemma described by Harvard professor Clayton Christensen ("The Innovator's Dilemma"). How can leaders deal with these implicit assumptions and mind-sets and suspend them to consider changing them? It's hard to do when going up against inherited wisdom, experience and company lore. This is why the failure of incumbents to capture the benefits of disruptive innovations are the result not of bad managers but of good managers doing what they do best. This is where leaders must step in to change business models or performance metrics that are no longer consistent with what led to success in the past in order to capture the power of disruptive innovation for the future.

Leslie Wexner is a retailing legend and the current longest-serving CEO of a Fortune 500 company. He started The Limited in 1963 with a $5000 loan from his aunt and nurtured that investment into a $12 billion company whose brands include Victoria's Secret, Victoria's Secret PINK, Bath & Body Works, Henri Bendel, White Barn Candle and others. Through the years, he has grown and spun off top retail brands such as Lane Bryant, Abercrombie & Fitch, Lerner New York, Express and his flagship property, The Limited as the retail environment has evolved.
Developing a vision or thesis around efforts that constantly rebuild and transform one's company.
It is no longer a competition between companies that matters. True competition is between value chains. The most effective one wins. Companies at the forefront are practicing a model of synchronized commercial networks. The term "supply chain" is something of a misnomer as it implies a linear arrangement in which one vent or activity links to another. The actual links among suppliers, customers, software and technology providers are nonlinear, synchronous and often global.

Advertisers, Wall Street traders, and anyone who's ever fought for a share of the Windows desktop knows that the most important real estate on the planet is the screen you're looking at right now. And like all real estate, while some is good, more is better. We can't all have the quad-screen-from-hell, but a lot of us do have laptops or TabletPCs sitting next to our main display, and this post is about putting those extra LCD screens to better use.
You probably encountered what happens next as soon as you stopped thinking about how neat it was to have two screens on your desk, and started getting into a good work groove. It happens to everyone. You're in the zone, operating in flow, the computer as a seamless extension of your mind, until... you reach for information on the other screen, and nothing happens. Stopped cold, you look down and realize that you're using the wrong keyboard and mouse to get that information. Your concentration's broken, and you find yourself wishing that you could seamlessly move your mouse pointer from this screen to that screen, just like a real multi-headed monitor setup.
Thankfully, Scoble's blog has given pointers to no fewer than four tools that do just that: ShareKMC, Synergy, MaxiVista, and an internal Microsoft tool that I'll call "MSTool"*. What follows is a personal review of these tools - for a different perspective, see Loren's comparisons of ShareKMC vs Synergy, and ShareKMC vs MaxiVista.
Right now I'm very happy with MaxiVista. If for some reason I lost my wired connection I'd go back to ShareKMC, and if I got a second TabletPC I'd check out Synergy. As for MSTool, the flakiness and the loss of my mouse's back-button outweighs the extra smoothness, so don't give up on ShareKMC yet Loren!
*This is not its real name, but after the Sideshow affair I'm taking no chances - Sideshow was a widely-used internal tool that was yanked after someone leaked the code. I'll return to it in a future post on "peripheral awareness"
Update: See also Scott Hanselman's review of MaxiVista from last year, and Gizmodo's review after my original post. Oh, and after the demo ran out I bought the full version.
Update^2: MaxiVista v2.0 lets you flip between "laptop as second monitor" and "laptop as second computer". Oh, and performance has gone from "respectably fast" to "can't tell it's not a real screen". Highly recommended.

The Shortlist
The Shortlist for April 23
Ben Affleck pledges to live on $1.50 a day in solidarity with anti-poverty campaign
Today, more than 1.4 billion people live on the equivalent of just $1.50 a day, according to the anti-poverty campaign Live Below the Line. In an effort to raise awareness about extreme poverty -- and funds to combat it, the group is asking people to try living on that small sum for five days, and Ben Affleck has already stepped up, committing to give the challenge a try.
Josh Groban, Sophia Bush, Debi Mazar and Hunter Biden are also reportedly joining the campaign, promising to make it at least one day if not more. "It's amazing how much we take for granted not having to live in hunger," says Groban, "and I am honored to have been asked to help spread the word about this eye-opening campaign again this year."
The campaign kicks off on April 26.

Baby Brother is Watching You
Big Brother is arguably the reality TV phenomenon of the past decade. As we approach yet another summer marathon, this little jem of a story crossed Pocket-lint's desk.
It appears that the concept of 24 hour monitoring is being applied to one particular baby in an effort to unravel the process by which children learn to talk. The child has been monitored by a plethora of microphones and cameras, one in each room in the house, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Deb Roy at MIT's Media Lab, US, devised the unusual project and even volunteered his own family as its guinea pigs. Since his newborn son left hospital 9 months ago, Roy's whole family has been monitored by 14 microphones and 11 1-megapixel "fish-eye" video cameras, attached to the ceilings of each room in their house.
By capturing a continuous stream of data about his son's experiences, Roy hopes to better understand the early development of language.

That's REALLY funny. Did you ever read how back in 78 Shatner wished they'd use THE PRICE OF THE PHOENIX as the basis for the first film?
No,I don't think anybody overuses italics quite like they're trotted out in TMP novelization. If you just changed it all to caps, it would seem like the way they include Roddenberry's comments in THE MAKING OF STAR TREK book.
Since GR really didn't have much to do besides give occasional notes on the rough cuts for the better part of a year, and on account of how awful most of it reads, I have never doubted he wrote it. It certainly reflects some of his interests, and very specifically it reflects all the Von Puttkamer tech advisor influence on the space travel aspect, which is also present in the GR draft of IN THY IMAGE (maybe the ONLY thing in his draft that is really an improvement.)
But it would have been nice to have a published novel version of THE GOD THING written by him as a basis for comparison.

Ahmad Starks had all 18 of his points during an electrifying second half performance to lead Oregon State to an 83-69 win over Colorado Saturday, helping the Beavers clinch only their second winning season in 22 years. Roberto Nelson added 16 points and Jared Cunningham had 15 for the Beavers (17-13, 7-11 Pac-12), in the final game of the regular season for both teams. Oregon State will be seeded either eighth or ninth in the Pac-12 tournament. Askia Booker had 15 points and Andre Roberson added 14 points and nine rebounds for the Buffaloes, whose hopes for the fourth seed and corresponding first-round bye were dashed. The Buffs (19-11, 11-7) need one more win to achieve back-to-back 20-win seasons for the first time in school history. Starks, a point guard, scored 11 straight points during a stretch early in the second half.

Why do only white women, NOT black women approach me in bars, on the street, in stores, etc.?
At 57,I'm regarded by a lot of the ladies as a boyishly hand- some black lad despite my muscular,beefy build(5'8'',214 lb.,17.5'' biceps amongst... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I can't speak for all black women but I was taught that approaching a strange man will give him the wrong idea about you. I just don't do it personally. I prefer a guy that takes the lead and prefers to approach women.
I know a lot of white women that think its OK to approach a guy and go after what they want I guess that's how they were raised.
But I know a bunch of black girls that will approach a guy too. I just think more non-black women do it than black women. Also it might have something to do with the way you look or what kind of women you're seen with. If I see a guy and he's always with white girls I will just assume he's not into black girls and I wouldn't think of pursuing him. Most of us like it when the guy takes the dominant role and approaches us. if you see a black girl that you like and you're feeling her, why not go up to her and approach? Most of the black women you're around can probably tell you prefer buxom blond white girls so why would they bother? also if you're like 57 why expect a younger black girl to be interested in you for anything other than money? No offense I'm just being real!
Agreed, I wouldn't date or be interested in a man your age. I just wouldn't have much in common with you to be able to build a "long-lasting" relationship with you that wasn't built on what you could give me.
What Girls Said 9
You don't date black women lol. We're not dumb, deaf, or blind so we probably see you chasing after the hot blond, or we hear the word on the street is you only go for blonds, or sometimes we can just tell by the way you look at us. Me personally, I usually don't approach any guy so maybe that could be a factor. But most women know when a man is interested and if you're not interested why waste the time?
Also you should see who you surround yourself with, if you hang around only white guys or you hang out with black guys who all also have a blond on their arm, it's kind of a sign to black women that you won't be interested.
Totally agree with Charnelle. In addition, I would never approach a guy and ask him out.

Thousands of Scouts Expected Next Week At New River Gorge
One effect of the Boy Scouts National Jamoboree next week will be the overflow of scouts expected at New River Gorge National River. The National Park Service is expecting thousands of boy scouts to visit the New River Gorge area since it's adjacent to the Summit Bechtel Family Reserve in Fayette County where the 2013 jamboree will be held. The jamboree is set for July 15-24. The park service says about 2,500 scouts are expected to raft the New River on each of five days during the jamboree. Scouts also are scheduled to participate in daily rock climbing excursions.
Whether to Cut Down Trees in Sissonville Brings Out Opinions
At a public meeting Monday night, several people spoke out about harvesting trees at a 4-H Camp in Sissonville. Kanawha County planners say the money from the tree harvest would help build a new pool in Sissonville, and that could take about three years. Most don't deny the need for a new pool since the last one at the camp closed five years ago, but they'd rather not cut down trees as a trade off. Kanawha County Commissioners will talk about it again at a meeting Wednesday.
Rockefeller Monitors SF Plane Crash Investigation
U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller leads the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation committee, and says he's monitoring the investigation after the airplane crash at the San Francisco International Airport Saturday.
Rockefeller said in a statement that he is in touch with federal agencies about it, and his thoughts are with the passengers, crew and first responders on the scene. The flight from Seoul, South Korea crashed while landing and injured dozens, and killing at least two.
West Side Shooting Under Investigation
A shooting early Sunday is still under investigation. Charleston police think it was a drive by shooting on Charleston's West Side that left a 24-year old man with a gunshot wound to the arm. The man got himself to St. Francis Hospital and told police a car drove by him in the 2400 block of Washington Street West and started firing shots. Anybody with information on the shooting should call police...they're still not sure why the shooter opened fire.
Two Deputies Shot, Suspect Killed in Nicholas County
A fight between neighbors Saturday in Nicholas County brought in police, and two of them ended up with gunshots wounds themselves. Police tried to intervene as 84-year old John Evans threatened with a gun, and one officer was hit in the leg, and another in the stomach and face. Both are expected to by okay. After a standoff that lasted about four hours, Evans eventually came out of his house with a weapon. Officers fired, and Evans was shot and killed. State Police said Evans had a medical history with health problems, but nothing further was released.
Police Up Patrols on the East End
Charleston Police have an eye on the East End after several recent break-ins. It's not just homes that are being targeted, but cars too, and perhaps copper wiring in AC units. But basically, the thieves are grabbing anything they can. Charleston Police have increased patrols in the East End and continue to investigate several cases.
Restaurant Owners Arrested
After a shooting outside a restaurant Sunday, two restaurant owners are facing charges. The shooting actually led to a search warrant, which clued in police to something illegal that was happening inside the restaurant. Emma Laughlin and Rodney Armstrong, the managers of Sylvia's Sandwich Shop and Pool Tables, were arrested for the illegal sale of alcohol.
Injured Robbery Victim Makes it to the Hospital
A daytime robbery in Institute Thursday sent a man to the hospital, and deputies say 21-year old Steven Humphries managed to get himself there despite being wounded. Officers were called to Thomas Memorial Hospital in South Charleston after Humphries said he had been shot in the 500 block of Curtis Lane in Institute after refusing to comply with a robber's demand. The investigation continues.
Man Arrested with Meth-Making Materials on School Grounds
The courts were working on the 4th of July, and 29-year old Ronnie Lee Thomas Jr. was arraigned on drug charges. Thomas faces a felony charge for attempt to operate a clandestine drug lab, and distribution and/or possession within 1,000 feet of a public or private school. In this case it was two schools - Midland Trial Elementary school and Riverside High School. He was arrested in Diamond, off of U.S. Route 60. The criminal complaint says Thomas was carrying methamphetamine making materials on school grounds.
Scott Depot Man Dies a Day After Accident
A man died this week a day after he was in a storm-related car accident. 33-year old Charles Slater of Scott Depot was driving a Range Rover SUV Tuesday on West Washington Street in Dunbar, and the SUV collided with a Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck. Two others were injured, and Slater died Wednesday in the hospital. Deputies said the weather was a factor in other accidents around that time - about 6:30pm.

This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
Killing a query that is taking a parallel plan may cause the spid to stop in ROLLBACK until the server is stopped and restarted.
Random disconnects while running queries may also cause a spid to be trapped in rollback.
Another symptom of the spid in rollback are possible access violations (AVs) in the SQL Server Errorlog. When the access violation occurs dumps of other spids in the errorlog may be seen as well.
The problem revolves around the fact that SQL Server is doing a parallel plan for the query. Refer to the "More Information" section for further details.
Preventing a query from having a parallel plan can be accomplished in one of two ways. First, at the system level by setting the sp_configure value of max degree of parallellism to one.
For example:
Secondly, on a per query basis, by using the OPTION MAXDOP 1 option.
For example, on the pubs database:
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server 7.0. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 2 for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
254561For more information, contact your primary support provider.
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/254561/ )INF: How to Obtain Service Pack 2 for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 and Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) 1.0
Parallel queries are only considered when there are more than one idle processor available to SQL Server. On a heavily used system, the optimizer should not choose a parallel plan for any queries.
Setting the "max degree of parallelism" to force a serial plan may cause some performance degradation, but only during those periods of time when the number of simultaneous connections running queries is less than the number of available processors, and those queries would otherwise be eligible for a parallel plan.
The SQL Profiler can be used to determine what queries are using a parallel plan. The "Event Sub Class" column for the DELETE, INSERT, SELECT and UPDATE operators shows the degree of parallelism used. To monitor lock escalation, add the Lock Escalation event to your trace. Note that this event is only listed when you go to the Tools menu, choose Options, and then select All event classes.

Can Beshear Sweep Northern Kentucky?
By Scott Wartman, The Kentucky Enquirer
While the number of registered Republicans in Northern Kentucky has increased in recent years, Democrats think Gov. Steve Beshear this year can repeat or exceed his success in Northern Kentucky four years ago. He won Kenton County by 10 percent and Campbell County by 11 percent and lost the heavily Republican Boone County by 1.5 percent in 2007 en route to unseating Republican Ernie Fletcher as governor. Both Beshear and his Republican challenger David Williams see Northern Kentucky as critical in winning statewide office and stumped last week in the region.

One of the most famous lines from the works of Shakespeare is Duke Senior's affirmation "Sweet are the uses of adversity."
The duke has effectively been forced to adopt this attitude, because, having been deposed and exiled by his treacherous brother, he's now living a very rough and uncourtly life, out under the open sky and exposed to the elements, in the Forest of Arden. Here's the line in more complete context:
Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.
(As You Like It, II.i.12-17)
By "uses," Duke Senior is referring to what we might call "profits" or "benefits." And his reference to an ugly toad relies upon the folk belief (a) that toads are venomous and (b) that they have a jewel with magical healing properties embedded in their temples.
In his allusion to "tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, [and] sermons in stones," he's probably also contrasting the straightforward wholesomeness of simple nature to the intrigues of courts and to the insincerity, scheming, feigned friendship, and cunning duplicity of courtiers — to what we, today, might label "office politics." (This is a common theme of literature worldwide; among the finest examples is the wonderful eighth-century Arabic animal fable Kalila wa Dimna, by Ibn al-Muqaffa', which is, in turn, based upon the much earlier Sanskrit Panchatantra.)

Nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow - known best for her professional staying power and relationship with a certain Tour de France winner - will make her Corpus Christi concert debut March 4 at Concrete Street Amphitheater.
Tickets go on sale Jan. 27 and cost $29.50 for general seats and $44.50 for reserved ones.
Crow, 43, was born in a small Missouri town and soared to stardom with her 1993 debut, "Tuesday Night Music Club," which spawned the hits "All I Wanna Do" and "Strong Enough." Rough times and controversy followed when her "Music Club" collaborators lambasted her for allegedly downplaying their songwriting contributions.
She silenced skeptics in 1996, when she released her self-titled sophomore effort, a critically and commercially successful disc that contained the radio-friendly tracks "If It Makes You Happy" and "Everyday Is A Winding Road."
Crow's next three albums produced even more hits, including "My Favorite Mistake," "Soak Up The Sun," "Picture" (with Kid Rock), "The First Cut Is The Deepest" and "Good Is Good."
While most of her Lilith Fair contemporaries have failed to remain relevant in the mainstream, Crow is something of an anomaly in an era of come-and-go pop stars half her age. She continues to lure new fans, partly because of her seize-the-day persona and solid songwriting.
Crow has dated Owen Wilson and Eric Clapton but coasted slightly under the tabloid radar until October 2003, when she started dating bicyclist Lance Armstrong.
The couple announced their engagement in September 2005. Recently, the twosome have been rumored to have broken up or secretly married or neither.

Final Score: (5) LSU 43, Ole Miss 36
Baton Rouge, LA (Sports Network) - Stevan Ridley ran for three touchdowns,
including the go-ahead score with 44 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter,
as fifth-ranked LSU escaped with a 43-36 victory over Ole Miss.
Ridley finished with 89 yards on 18 carries for the Tigers (10-1, 6-1 SEC),
who have won 11 straight home games. Jordan Jefferson completed 13-of-17
passes for 254 yards with one touchdown and added another score on the ground.
Jeremiah Masoli had given Ole Miss (4-7, 1-6) a 36-35 lead on a 65-yard
touchdown pass to Markeith Summers with just under five minutes left in
But the senior wide receiver somersaulted into the end zone, resulting in an
excessive celebration penalty. The Rebels failed on the two-point conversion.
A 34-yard kickoff return by Patrick Peterson set the Tigers up near midfield.
Jefferson orchestrated an eight-play drive that Ridley finished off with a
seven-yard run, and a two-point conversion made it 43-36.
"I felt like we were running the football well," said LSU head coach Les Miles
about the last scoring drive. "We had Michael Ford going, established him and
we had the weak option going. The combination of those two plays allowed us to
go right down the field."
Any chance of a dramatic Rebels' comeback ended when Masoli was intercepted
for the second time on the final play of the game.
"It was a very hard-fought ball game," said Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt.
"I thought our guys played their hearts out. Again, it was just like this
season has been. We just came up too short."
Both LSU and Ole Miss committed turnovers on its first second-half possession.
After Jefferson began the third quarter with a 16-yard completion to Terrence
Toliver, Michael Ford ran for what appeared to be a 54-yard touchdown. A video
review, however, determined Ford stepped out of bounds at the Ole Miss 40.
Later on the drive, Jefferson was picked off by Rebels safety Fon Ingram, but
Masoli fumbled while being sacked on the second play of the subsequent series.
LSU's Drake Nevis recovered the ball at the Ole Miss 12, and the Tigers led,
23-17, after Josh Jasper made a 24-yard field goal.
The Rebels responded with an 11-play, 90-yard drive during which they
converted their third fourth down in as many tries. Brandon Bolden's three-
yard dash to the end zone and Bryson Rose's extra point gave the visitors
their first lead of the game with 4:34 remaining in the third quarter.
Ole Miss, which was crushed by Tennessee, 52-14, a week ago, recovered a
fumble on the ensuing kickoff, but wound up punting the ball away.
Jefferson then took the Tigers 80 yards in eight plays, capping the drive with
a three-yard touchdown on a quarterback sneak early in the fourth quarter. LSU
failed on the two-point conversion and led, 29-24.
Masoli answered with a 22-yard TD run up the middle to put Ole Miss back on
top. The Rebels also went for two, and Masoli's pass fell incomplete.
Ford's 27-yard catch-and-run on a shovel pass gave LSU a 35-30 advantage with
7:30 to play. Once again, the Tigers were denied on the two-point conversion.
Ridley scored on a two-yard run on the Tigers' first possession of the game
just three plays after Masoli had his first pass tipped and hauled in by LSU
defensive end Lavar Edwards.
Ole Miss' Jeff Scott returned the ensuing kickoff to midfield, and Bolden
scampered to the end zone on first down, tying the game at 7-7.
After the teams traded field goals, Ridley ran for another two-yard touchdown
on the second play of the second quarter to give LSU a 17-10 lead. The score
was set up by Deangelo Peterson's 32-yard reception.
The Tigers marched to the Ole Miss one on their next drive, but were forced to
settle for a 25-yard Jasper field goal.
A four-yard TD run by Masoli capped a nine-play series and trimmed the Rebels'
deficit to three, 20-17, with 27 seconds left before halftime.
Game Notes
The Tigers snapped a two-game losing streak to the Rebels...Ford had 58 yards
on nine carries...Masoli completed 15-of-23 passes for 177 yards and picked up
64 yards on the ground...Bolden ran for 91 yards on 18 carries...Ole Miss
finished 4-for-5 on fourth down conversions.

Cleveland's coaching catch-22
Jun 8, 2010, 12:00 PM EDT
The Cavaliers are doing a little coaching tango with Tom Izzo, Michigan State's legendary college coach. An offer is on the table, according to reports.
But Izzo's no dummy — he's not going to sign up for a rebuilding project in the NBA. He's only making the leap if he has a shot at a title.
He'll only come if LeBron James stays.
LeBron James may not stay if the Cavaliers can't hire a quality coach.
And welcome to the Cleveland Catch-22.
No coach of any note is going to come to Cleveland unless he knows that LeBron James is inked. Not Izzo, not Phil Jackson (who isn't coming anyway), not Jeff Van Gundy (who isn't coming anyway), not anyone. Without LeBron the Cavaliers are going to rack up an awful lot of lottery ping-pong balls next year. It's an entry level NBA coaching job in a mid-level market without LeBron.
LeBron wants to see a commitment to winning from the team. He wants a team that can contend around him. Part of that is the coach — he wants to see a quality coach brought in that can guide this team to the next level.
If it happens in Cleveland, it will have to be some kind of package deal with a top coach and LeBron. Likely all negotiated in back rooms by William Wesley. Because neither side would move for sure without the other.
Meanwhile the Bulls go out and get the sexiest assistant coach on the block, a big name in NBA circles if not to the average sports fan. But he fits what they want to do. He can build a defense in Chicago that can win titles. Chicago is doing what it thinks is best, with or without LeBron. They are an organization that knows what it wants to be.
That has to be pretty attractive to LeBron.
- Sguy2130 - Jun 8, 2010 at 12:47 PM
"Chicago is doing what it thinks is best, with or without LeBron"
Yes, Chicago is letting their front office get in physcial altercations, with the GM physically abusing staff. The same front office that didn't even have a spot for their legend, Michael Jordan. First class organization.
"That has to be pretty attractive to LeBron."
Also Joakim Noah's mug is the other attractive part.

Join author Brian Trifon as he shows how to improve music and audio productions using virtual instruments in Logic Pro. This course tours the program's virtual instruments, including the ES2 hybrid synthesizer, Sculpture physical modeling synthesizer, EFM1 FM synthesizer, the EVOC 20 vocoder, the Ultrabeat drum synthesizer, and the EXS24 sampler, and shows how to achieve various effects with each instrument's parameters. The course also covers working with oscillators and filters, understanding signal flow, creating custom synthesizer patches, adding effects, synthesizing speech, creating a library of custom sound samples, and much more.
Virtual Instruments with Logic Pro will be updating on a monthly basis, eventually covering all the virtual instruments in the application. Look for the latest movies here and on the lynda.com blog.
Let's check out ES M in the example of a song. So what I've got here is a little piece that I made with six different instances of ES M, and they're creating all the melodic and bass and harmonic stuff that's going on. And then the drums are done with Ultrabeat. ES M, one of its strengths is that it's a very simplified instrument. It's also monophonic, so that means that you can't play chords, because you can only play one note at a time. So let me play this example, and then we can listen through what's happening here. (music playing) So the first thing that's going on is up top there's two instances ES M and they're playing basically the root and the 5th.
So it's a simple two-note chord. I had to split that out into two tracks because you can only play one note at a time on ES M. So let's pull those up and just take a look so you can see the settings here. So I've got one of them--that's the root--and second one here is the 5th. So let's just hear what that part sounds like. (music playing) So notice that these two instruments have the same setting. So it's basically got a little bit of Filter envelope that's happening and a pretty short decay on that, a slight bit of overdrive to make it a big crunchier.
That's kind of got the typical progressive House chord thing happening. And the way I did it is I have the root note happening on one track, so you can see the MIDI information for that here. And then in order to get that 5th happening--so with the other note in the chord--I just took everything and literally just dragged it up in this media editor, up seven semitones, so up a 5th. And that's the way I can get those chords happening. The next part here is this wobbly sound. (music playing) So let's take a look at the interface for that.
And now while you're listening to it, watch the Mix control in the oscillator and the filter cutoff. (music playing) So you can see those are both moving together. (music playing) That's what's creating that valve sound, that wobbly bit to it. So the reason why those are moving is I actually have automation data written for this Mix balance and for this Cutoff control so that they move, because in the synth, because ES M is sort of simplified, it doesn't have an envelope for this Mix control or an LFO, which we'll talk about later when we get into some of these other synths.
So I just used the automation in Logic. So if you're on a track, you can press the A button. That shows you the automation. And you can see, I wrote the automation for the cutoff and I also have it for the Mix control here. That was the way to get the movement happening with that sound. So next, we've got these two different lead sounds. And again, these are both similar. I just spread them out on two separate tracks so we could have things that are overlapping. And these sort of have some pitch-bend information happening. (music playing) So we can take a look at the interface for that.
It kind of sounds like the Rolling TV 3OH!3 that's used in a lot of early electronic music and ACID music. So you can take a look and you see it's got a medium amount of resonance here, and that's sort of what gives it that squelchy quality. Also a big part of the sound that's happening here is the contour of the pitch, that pitch bending. So if we look at the MIDI regions here, I can press this little button here to view all the pitch-bend information. If you're not seeing it, what you can do is click on this menu here to go to Pitch Bend, and then you can see that happening.
So if we listen to this again-- (music playing) --you can see all those pitch changes happening. That was in the other track there. (music playing) And so that's essentially what's going on with that part to make that have contour to it. And then last but not least, with the ES M, we've got this pad sound that's kind of distant that gives a sense of space, because everything else is so dry and upfront. (music playing) So normally I don't think of ES M as the type of instrument that's the first call of what I would use to get a long sustaining pad sound, because it's really good for upfront and cutting sounds, but it can be kind of harsh.
So in this case what's happening is I have a reverb on the channel here that's actually probably the biggest part of the sound. Because if you notice, the Space Designer Reverb, which is part of Logic, that the Wet/Dry Balance, so the reverb amount. is pretty much fully wet and there's no dry signal coming through. And if you take a look at the Length here, this is a 21-second reverb, so it's very long. So it's basically just washing out the sound. And that's a great technique to use if you want something to be more in the background.
So for the purpose of this example of trying to use ES M to function as many things as possible, this is a way that I could put it more in the background and give sort of a three-dimensional quality to everything that's happening. So one more time, we can hear a little bit of this, and then you should explore on your own. (music playing)

The question facing America is: who will lead us out of this economic crisis?
George Washington answered this question for us in a letter to Benjamin Harrison in 1784. He wrote: "A people... who are possessed of the spirit of commerce, who see and who will pursue their advantages may achieve almost anything."
Unfortunately, today, many elected officials, the media, and even big business have lost confidence in "the spirit of commerce" – in the American free enterprise system - and are looking to government for the answer. A recent Newsweek cover declared "We are all Socialists now" and Congress and President Obama just passed a stunningly partisan $787 billion "stimulus" bill. From the TARP to special loans to GM and Chrysler to a new $275 billion mortgage entitlement program, bailout nation is in full swing.
Yet if more government spending could spark sustained economic growth, we'd be in a boom right now from the reckless expansion of spending over the last six years. President Bush nearly doubled the national debt during his two terms, and President Obama is thinking much bigger, proposing $1.4 trillion in new spending programs in just his first month in office. It is possible that the U.S. government's deficit in fiscal year 2010 will be larger than the entire federal budget in 2000.
What's more, the big spending approach to the economy has another nasty side effect that worsens the downturn: uncertainty. The unpredictable and constantly changing rules, political interventions, and vague new government programs only adds to the chaos. The possibility of government bailouts freezes the market, slowing badly needed corrections and adjustments. For example, why should banks sell distressed assets today when Uncle Sam may come in and buy them in the future? And it is never helpful to the confidence of the nation when the President and Treasury Secretary are using words like "economic collapse" and "catastrophe" to scare Congress into passing bailout after bailout.
Even while he embraces this fear-mongering, Washington-first approach, President Obama admits that the current spending binge is not sustainable. That is why it must stop, now. It is time for America to return to its roots and look to entrepreneurs in the private sector to lead us back to prosperity.
Important reminder from HHS: Don't forget to annoy your relatives by bringing up ObamaCare tomorrow | Allahpundit

A new study queried YouTube for search terms related to dermatology including "sun protection, skin cancer, skin cancer awareness and skin conditions".
Results included 100 videos with a cumulative 47 million views. The videos were shared a total of 101,173 times.
"Through social media, journals can have their own presence - their own mouthpiece directly to the public that may include patients or health care providers or even other researchers," Karimkhani noted.
For example, of the videos returned with the search query "skin cancer", 25 percent were educational and another 25 percent were what the researchers considered "complementary and alternative medicine videos".
Overall, only 35 percent of videos across all dermatology search terms were uploaded by or featured a biomedical professional.
In the field of dermatology, researchers see great promise in speaking directly to consumers of social media.
The study appeared in the Dermatology Online Journal.

Philadelphia, this spring for the first time EVER we bring to you Bhangra At The Bell in the city of Brotherly Bhangra on March 2nd, 2013. This event will be held in the Irvine Auditorium located on the campus of University of Pennsylvania.
Bhangra is a lively and energetic folk dance that is usually performed while celebrating the annual harvest, however Bhangra has quickly evolved into being done at all sorts of diverse occasions such as birthdays, weddings, and various different celebrations. Bhangra is a very high energy, fast tempo dance style, which helps increase its appeal to individuals of all ages. Furthermore, its attractiveness is the fact that Bhangra is performed in highly flamboyant, and traditional Punjabi attire. At the collegiate level there are over 100 Bhangra teams across the country and about 30 Bhangra Competitions. These competitions are held in major cities all over the United States and usually last 2-3 days. Bhangra has quickly changed the South Asian culture and community in a positive way and has been widely accepted as a part of the American pop culture while emerging as one of the most loved forms of dance in the nation.
Bhangra At The Bell hopes to provide a platform for the top Bhangra teams around the nation to come and showcase their talent in a vibrant exhibition of energy and excitement that Bhangra represents. It is a prestigious opportunity for premier Bhangra teams to display their unique talent and compete for over $3,000 in prize money. This being the first year that we host this competition we really look forward to establishing an event that brings together the South Asian community in the city of Philadelphia. This event would not have been made possible without the various sponsors throughout the Tri-State area. People from all diverse backgrounds will be able to come together for one night under one roof and enjoy the traditional dance form of Bhangra.
