David Ortiz: being pinch-hit for was "embarrassing"
Apr 23, 2010, 7:48 PM EDT
UPDATE: Talk about great timing. Ortiz just slugged his first home run of the season to the "Monster Seats" in center field.
7:11 PM: Prior to Friday's game against the Orioles, David Ortiz told Rob Bradford of WEEI.com that he was embarrassed when Mike Lowell pinch-hit for him against left-hander Darren Oliver on Tuesday:
"It was just embarrassing, getting pinch-hit for," Ortiz said. "I
understand. I'm not swinging the bat good, with a lefty and whatever.
I've got to come through and do my thing and get that out of people's
heads. When I'm swinging the bat good that's not going to happen.
Basically it was a wake-up call to say, 'You better start hitting or
you're going to get pinch-hit for.'"
Or benched altogether. Francona started Lowell over Ortiz on Wednesday and Thursday as the Red Sox faced consecutive left-handers. With right-hander Jeremy Guthrie on the mound on Friday, the .146 hitting Ortiz is back in the starting lineup, batting sixth.

This dumb sob doesn't get it . Your FINISHED stupid . Don't get me wrong , it couldn't happen to a more deserving team , because both Ortiz , and the Bosux are FINISHED !!!!
- GimmeSomeSteel - Apr 23, 2010 at 11:45 PM
It's "you're", not "your". So who's "dumb" here?
That said, I agree that Ortiz is finished–but damn, he gave everyone except Yankee fans and/or Red Sox haters some thrills along the way, didn't he?

Ortiz's performance is embarrassing. The end often comes fast and early for bad body sluggers.

Your mother is the dumb one , for having you . I'll tell you , just as I told the GrammarPussy , when I feel I need your advice on grammar , I'll ask for it . In other words , don't call me , I'll call you .

Aaaahhh … mom jokes. Such fun. Your momma's so fat it takes Dick Gregory and a forklift to get her big ass to church.
Big Papi is embarrassed by being pinch-hit for against a lefty? Lowell was 3-8 with 2HR's and 3 BB's against Darren Oliver, Sloppy 2-10 with 3K's and one double.
Saying that is a dig at Mike Lowell and at Tito's managerial abilities. It also shows distinct confusion about what should embarrass a ballplayer. Be embarrassed that you can't hit for more power than Dustin Pedroia without horse steroids. Be embarrassed to have a .384 OPS vs LHP's this season so far. Don't be embarrassed when your manager makes the right move to help your team win a ballgame.
This is first time he's looked like a bad teammate, and he should really shut up because that's about all he has left going for him. Which is nice.

I think some of Manny rubbed off on him. He stunk last year, is stinking this year… you'd better be embarrassed, and you'd better get your finances in order because your big-money days are about over.

I'll go out on a limb and guess that you've never asked anyone for advice on grammar.
IRT to Papi, at least he recognizes that this is on him. I'll tell my kids the same thing. If you want minutes, you have to take them. This ain't no socialist experiment. Those that contribute will play. Those that don't simply have to show up earlier and practice harder.
From a RS perspective, a platoon always made sense, and I'd be working Hermida in there as well.

Get back on the JUICE maybe your hitting will come around.

James Milner blames City slump on away form
Monday 09 April 2012
James Milner admitted Manchester City have paid for their lack of "ruthlessness" away from home in 2012 after Arsenal dealt what could be a fatal blow to their Barclays Premier League title hopes.
Yesterday's 1-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium - further marred by another Mario Balotelli meltdown - left Roberto Mancini's men facing a barren season, with arch-rivals Manchester United going into the final six matches eight points clear at the summit.
That represents a remarkable turnaround, with City having held a five-point lead just over a month ago - admittedly having played a game more.
They were also five points clear back in October when they won the Manchester derby 6-1 at Old Trafford, having previously thrashed Tottenham 5-1 at White Hart Lane in August.
But while United have gone from strength to strength, City have self-combusted on their travels since the turn of the year, with even their victories edgy affairs.
Midfielder Milner said: "We have played well for the majority of the season, but have come unstuck for whatever reason over the past few weeks, most of the time away from home.
"We have been very strong at home, but away have not got the results we want.
"It is about having that ruthlessness on the road which we can learn from."
City never looked like winning yesterday the way Mancini set them up, with watching chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak looking far from impressed by what he saw.
Milner said: "Everyone has good days and bad days.
"We did not keep the ball as well as we can.
"We were still in the game going into the final 10 minutes, which is what the good teams do.
"When you are under pressure, it is about staying tight, restricting their chances and hoping you can nick one at the other end, but that just did not happen.
"They had more than enough chances, but the boys defended well, the centre-halves were magnificent, so were Gael Clichy and Joe Hart.
"Credit to the lads, but it was just not enough."
He added: "As a team, we have set standards throughout the season, but we have not met them.
"We knew it would be a tough game, but we did not perform how we know we can for whatever reason, loss of confidence, fatigue.
"We have given everything we can, and it was not good enough.
"But we have another game in a couple of days and have to pick ourselves up and go again."
Mancini, whose position will surely come under further scrutiny, must somehow lift his men for Wednesday's match against West Brom, which sees striker Balotelli serve the first instalment of what is currently a three-match ban following his sending off yesterday.
The Italian will learn tomorrow whether he faces missing the rest of the season when the Football Association ask the match officials whether they failed to spot his clash with Alex Song.
Replays showed Balotelli going in knee-high on the Arsenal midfielder, who was fortunate to escape serious injury.
Milner refused to answer any questions about the conduct of Balotelli, who Mancini admitted he would "probably" sell in the summer.
The City boss also refused to concede the title, sentiments echoed by England star Milner.
Admitting Mancini had set a target of seven straight wins before yesterday's game, the 26-year-old said: "From now, we will try to win the remaining six, which is all we can do and see where that takes us.
"We just have to concentrate on doing what we have to do, on our own game and, whatever happens this season, whether we win it or don't, we have to make sure we learn from the good and the poor things which have gone on."

Gerald Benoit's Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Putnam's research focuses on the intersections of aging and disability, with particular emphasis on understanding how public programs and public policy meets the needs of persons aging with disability. Within this area, her work examines collaborations between aging and disability service providers and their capacity to serve the aging with disability population, long-term care and support needs of persons aging with disabilities, the role of activity portfolios in fostering well being among older adults, and the relationship of asset accumulation in fostering financial security and independent living among older adults and persons aging with disability.
Dr. Putnam's scholarship is both independent and done in collaboration with colleagues across institutions and disciplines, and when possible with direct stakeholders. Funders of Dr. Putnam's research and/or research collaborations include the John A. Hartford Foundation, the AARP Foundation, National Institute of Aging, and the Productive Living Board of St. Louis County. She is frequently engaged to speak about aging with disability and public policy to research, practice, and policy audiences.
In addition to her research, Dr. Putnam actively participates at the national and international level in building bridges across the aging and disability fields of policy and practice. Most recently she is serving on the expert panel that drafted the Toronto declaration on bridging knowledge, policy and practice in aging and disability, a product of the 2011 Growing Older with Disability meeting at the Festival of International Conferences on Caregiveing, Disabiliity, Aging, and Technology held in Toronto, Canada. With the help of March of Dimes Canada, she coordinated a supplement issue of the International Journal of Integrated Care about bridging aging and disability and the rationale or and need for the Toronto Declaration. Dr. Putnam continues to coordinate the activities of that expert panel as they develop the entity, Bridging Aging and Disability International Network, to facilitate knowledge development, transfer, and translation between the fields of aging and disability. She was recently appointed as Editor of the Journal of Gerontological Social Work.
Dr. Putnam is one of the few scholars in the field of social work studying aging with disability and is recognized for her leadership in this area. She has actively worked to build awareness of the distinctions between aging with long-term disability and incurring disability for the first time in later life as it relates to provision of supports and services and the overall experience of aging. Her work is both theoretical and empirical, but always related to public policy and the practical aspects of making aging and disability policies and programs work well for people aging with disabilities and their families. Dr. Putnam's current interest in capacity building within aging and disability service networks directly stems from her prior work. She believes that building capacity to meet unique needs of aging with disability populations has potential to compliment and move current discussions focused on institutional systems change to also include discourse what individuals and their families need to live independently, engage in their community, and experience positive aging.
Alister Inglis is the Freeman Associate Professor of Chinese Language and Literature. Prior to joining Simmons, he taught at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
His research focuses on Chinese traditional short stories of the Song (960-1276) and Yuan (1276-1368) dynasties. Inglis is best known for his translations of classical Chinese literature and also for his extensive research on Hong Mai's (1123-1202) Record of the Listener (Yijian zhi). This famous twelfth century text has become an essential primary source for historians conducting research on twelfth century society given the attention its short narratives pay to the lives of ordinary people; i.e., material that is often ignored by official history. Inglis' first monograph, Hong Mai's Record of the Listener and its Song Dynasty Context (NY: SUNY Press, 2006), is the first monograph-length study in English about this famous text.
Inglis is furthermore interested in fine art and practices various styles of Chinese calligraphy. He specializes in the "slender-gold" script which was made famous by emperor Huizong (r. 1100-1126) of the Song dynasty.

Dr. Gurney is an expert in the field of Green Chemistry Education, where he has been actively developing curricula for the past 13 years. He focuses his teaching and research on the applications of green chemistry and finding solutions for everyday problems using materials that are "benign by design." As the Principle Investigator and Director of the Undergraduate Laboratory Renaissance Program, funded in part by the W. M. Keck Foundation and the National Science Foundation, Dr. Gurney is currently studying the effectiveness of an entirely project-based, research-integrated, greener organic chemistry laboratory experience as one component of a completely re-engineered, undergraduate, green-laboratory curriculum. The ULR Program encompasses a fundamental reengineering of the undergraduate laboratory curriculum using the principles of green chemistry to expose students to the excitement of research beginning in their first-semester of their undergraduate career. The integrity of the knowledge learned within the ULR laboratory sequence has been maintained, while providing an environment for students to hone their higher-order cognitive skills such as analysis, synthesis and evaluation. From 2008 – 2013, the W. M. Keck Foundation supported the effort to expand this pedagogy to course-based laboratories not only in Chemistry, but also in Physics and Biology, with a total of 9 faculty participants. Dr. Gurney is also highly active in the development of greener polymeric systems capable of closed-loop molecular recycling, in collaboration with Dr. Debora Martino at INTEC (Instituto de Desarrollo Tecnológico para la Industria Química) and the Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Santa Fe, Argentina. Funding in part to support undergraduate participation in this collaboration and research has been provided by the (Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Argentina (CAI+D Tipo II PI 11-57), CONICET (PIP 112-200801-01079 and D-1280/2011) Argentina, the NSF OISE (#1031394), the Semiconductor Research Corporation Educational Alliance-Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program, and the Presidential Fund for Faculty Excellence at Simmons College for the financial support. Dr. Gurney is one of the 16 founding members of the Green Chemistry Education Network and one of the ten founding faculty Board Members for the Green Chemistry Commitment.
I am a Professor of Spanish Language and Literatures as well as Director of the Honors Program. I wrote a doctoral dissertation on drama, the emergence of comedy, in 16th-century Spain with an emphasis on the comedia of Lope de Vega. Soon after this, I turned to the other face of Spanish theatre: the famous wife-murder plays of Lope de Vega and Pedro Calderón de la Barca and from there to violence (state violence as well as violence against women) in Latin American and Spanish literature.
Violence took me directly to Latin American experiences of the 60s - 90s to see how literature and film attempted to make sense of political upheaval and state violations of human rights. I also examined how personal writings—autobiography, essays, interviews—by members of guerrilla movements explained and framed their participation and use of violence to bring about social change. My particular interest was, and remains, in how women joined these forces and how they explain their experiences as gendered (or not).
Interest in social movements took me from Latin American guerrilla organizations to U.S. social movements. I was given the opportunity to teach Roots of Feminism in the WGST program. Soon after, I joined Reacting to the Past, a group of historians and political scientists centered at Barnard College who design role-playing games for college courses in a variety of fields. I saw that their approach was one that would ideally suit the Roots course, except that I was going to have to write it myself. So I did. Greenwich Village 1913: Suffrage, Labor and the New Woman has now been featured at many national conferences and is played in universities throughout the United States.
Daniel Joudrey, an expert in organizing information, joined the Simmons faculty in 2005 and teaches information organization and three separate cataloging courses. Prior to coming to Simmons, Joudrey was a teaching fellow and research assistant at the University of Pittsburgh for Dr. Arlene G. Taylor, a well-known cataloging authority. Joudrey was also a metadata policy intern at the Library of Congress. Before that, he worked for an international non-profit social services organization. He is lead author for the newly revised and expanded 11th edition of Introduction to Cataloging and Classification and co-author of the 3rd edition of The Organization of Information. Joudrey received his Ph.D. and MLIS from the University of Pittsburgh and his B.A. in theatre from George Washington University. He writes on education for cataloging and metadata, subject access, and other cataloging topics. He has been a member of the American Library Association for nearly 15 years.
Daniel Joudrey's Curriculum Vitae
Professor Lee was born in Seoul, South Korea and her family immigrated to the US when she was in middle school. She gravitated towards math and science courses in high school due to the language barrier and pursued chemistry at University of Pennsylvania. With BS in chemistry, she worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 4 years where she fell in love with synthetic organic chemistry. She decided to attend Brown to get a Ph.D. in organic synthesis. After a year of postdoctoral work at MIT in organometallic chemistry, she came to Simmons. She's been teaching organic chemistry to science majors and pre health majors since 1994. She has put much of her effort into innovative teaching. There are two main areas of curricular change that she's proud of: first is converting traditional lectures into "flipped lectures" for organic chemistry I and II. In the flipped lecture model, students watch a video before class and during "class", which is really a problem solving session, all the students are sent to white boards to solve problems. The second innovative curriculum change is the conversion of traditional labs to research incorporated labs. The recent paper entitled "Using Green Chemistry Principles as a Framework to Incorporate Research into the Organic Laboratory Curriculum" in the Journal of Chemical Education describes how this was accomplished. Research integration has made it possible for students to get involved in research in their first year. Peer mentoring is then used to train students for 2-3 more years in the art of research. This makes it possible for seniors to contribute independently. With these changes in curriculum, there has been tremendous evolution in how research is done by undergraduates at Simmons in the last ten years.
As a college student I was drawn to economics because it taught me how to think about, and address the many challenges that ail our world. I became an educator because I wanted to share this knowledge and inspire my students to make a positive difference in the world.
Judith Aronson has been teaching graphic design at Simmons for seventeen years and has been a practicing designer and photographer for more than thirty years. Prior to Simmons she taught at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and the New England School of Art and Design at Suffolk University. Earlier in her career she was a program analyst in the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department in Washington, DC, served as a VISTA Volunteer in East Harlem, and worked as a city planner for the New York City Environmental Protection Administration. For fifteen years she lived overseas: three years in South East Asia and twelve in England where she was a photojournalist. Aronson holds a BA in American Studies from the University of Michigan and a MA in City Planning and a MA in Fine Art/Graphic Design, from Yale University.
Her special interests are typography, environmental design, and photojournalism. In 2003 she received a grant from the Colleges of the Fenway to teach the course Wayfinding: Design, Information Architecture and Public Spaces. Wayfinding is a specialty that applies design principles to information systems that help people move through complex urbanscapes — hospitals, airports, college campuses and the like. In 2006 Aronson had a one person retrospective in Boston of her color photographs, TACTILE |MERCANTILE, with pictures ranging from the young Mick Jagger, to the slums Harlem and the exotic scenery in South East Asia. In 2010 she published LIKENESSES, with the Sitters Writing About One Another, a book of black and white portraits of writers and artists. The book led to a number of exhibitions both in the US and England including at the Picture Gallery, Christ Church, Oxford, The Poetry Society, London and the Royal West of England Academy in Bristol. A poetry competition sponsored by Bristol University in conjunction with the last show produced thirty poems each responding to one of her photographs. In 2015 the exhibition will move to the Cambridge University Library in England for twelve months.
Aronson's photographs are held in collections at The National Portrait Gallery, London; Christ College, Cambridge; Keble College and Christ Church, Oxford University; Brotherton Library, Leeds University; and the National Portrait Gallery (Smithsonian Institute), Washington, DC. Her work has been published in The Sunday Telegraph, England, the New York Review of Books, The Threepenny Review, Ms. Magazine, and the Boston Globe.
Dr. Doherty received her PhD in Government with a concentration in Public Policy from Northeastern University after receiving a BA in Government from Clark University. As an undergrad, she had many different roles as a student, not unlike many of our students here at Simmons: captain of the Women's Basketball team, member of the Admissions Staff, and explorer of the many academic opportunities that a liberal arts college has to offer.
Currently, Dr. Doherty serves as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs for the College of Arts and Sciences where she supports the Dean of CAS around faculty and student academic needs. These include areas such as general education, academic support, and majors/program curriculum. She is also the director of the graduate Program in Public Policy as well as the 3+1 accelerated program in Public Policy.
A proud member of the Department of Political Science and International Relations, Dr. Doherty's teaching is centered around the American Political System, with a concentration on gender and politics, popular culture and public policy. She was honored to be named Professor of the Year by students in 2008 and received the Dean's Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Advising in 2009.
She is also the co-host of the Sports Profs, a weekly sports talk radio show on Simmons College internet Radio. Each week, Dr. Doherty with Dr. Daren Graves from the Education department talk sports as it intersects with race, gender, and class. "Real talk, with an academic twist." When not at Simmons, Dr. Doherty enjoys watching and playing all sports with her two partners in crime, husband Mark and son, Donovan. She also enjoys music, reading, and really bad television.
Amber Stubbs graduated from Simmons College in 2005 with an B.S. in Computer Science and English, then attended Brandeis University where she earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science, specifically in the field of natural language processing. While at Brandeis she co-authored a book, Natural Language Annotation for Machine Learning (O'Reilly, 2012) with James Pustejovksy.
Her doctoral dissertation, "A Methodology for Using Professional Knowledge in Corpus Annotation," involved creating an annotation methodology to extract high-level information — such a hospital patient's medical diagnosis — from narrative texts. As part of that research, she also developed the Multi-Purpose Annotation Environment (MAE) and Multi-document Adjudication Interface (MAI) software, which is used at institutions around the world for natural language processing research.
After completing her Ph.D., Amber worked as a Postdoctoral Associate under Ozlem Uzuner at the State University of New York at Albany. During that time, she worked on the 2014 i2b2 Natural Language Processing Shared Task, which focused on recognizing risk factors for heart disease in medical records, as well as the identification and removal of personal information about patients from their records.
Amber became an Assistant Professor at Simmons College in 2014, where she teaches courses in both the Computer Science and LIS programs. She is delighted to be back at Simmons, and enjoys helping students understand technology and how to make it work for them.

Chopra convenes group to consider data exchange standards
Health care providers and vendors face many obstacles in implementing a common set of standards for electronically exchanging patient health data nationwide, according to testimony before a federal advisory workgroup today.
The Health IT Standards Committee's Implementation Workgroup heard from several large and small health plans, hospitals, doctors' practices and vendors. The workgroup, chaired by federal Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra, is gathering information on how to set standards for secure health data exchange systems.
The committee will forward its recommendations to the Health and Human Services Department, which will consider them for upcoming regulations later this year for distributing $20 billion in Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments. The payments will go to providers who buy and "meaningfully use" certified electronic health record systems.
Some of the health plans have set up pathways to exchange data through HHS' Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) pilot project.
"Our greatest success may be the full implementation of care coordination via the NHIN, starting with federal partners like the Veterans Affairs Department and using the standards already recommended for meaningful use," Andrew Wiesenthal, associate executive director of the Permanente Federation, said on behalf of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program.
However, Wiesenthal also acknowledged "frustrations" in implementing standards for data exchange, including competition for resources with projects that have a more rapid or direct clinical effect. Consistent federal, state and local support could help solve those problems, he said.
Dick Taylor, chief medical information officer for Providence Health and Services, said Providence has learned several lessons from working on data exchange for a decade.
"We have been challenged by our own workflows, by the time-limited and relatively nontechnical environment in our providers' offices, and by the maintenance 'tail' inherent in custom self-designed solutions," Taylor said. "We have learned and suffered from the limitations of read-only access to systems and clinical summaries that can be viewed but not effectively integrated."
The situation improved in 2009 as the industry reached a critical plateau of standards-based data exchange, he added.
"Changing technology is easy; changing workflows is hard," said Rich Warren, chief information officer of Allegiance Health community hospital. "Adoption is all about workflow, behavior modification and perceived value."

Ph.D., University of Washington (Seattle)
Coastal Archaeology, Zooarchaeology
Kris Bovy is a zooarchaeologist, specializing in the analysis of animal bones from archaeological sites in North America. She earned a B.S. (with distinction) in Anthropology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and went on to complete her M.A. and Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Washington (Seattle).
The focus of her research is on the history of human and animal interactions in marine settings. Kris attempts to both better understand past human behavior and generate data to address contemporary environmental and biological conservation issues. Archaeology can provide the critical long-term temporal dimension needed to understand human response to gradual and abrupt environmental changes (e.g., climate change, tectonic events, sea level rise) and also the current status of modern animal populations. Kris has conducted analysis and fieldwork in a wide variety of settings throughout North America, but specializes in the analysis of bird bones from shell midden sites in the Pacific Northwest Coast.
Kris works closely with faculty and students in the interdisciplinary Underwater Archaeology Minor and History MA (Archaeology and Anthropology Option) programs. She teaches introductory and advanced undergraduate courses, including Introduction to Archaeology, Coastal Archaeology, Archaeology of the Americas, Archaeological Method and Theory, Seminar in Cultural Heritage, and Unity of Anthropology.
Donna Hughes, Carlson Professor of Gender and Women's Studies has accepted a joint appointment as Professor of Sociology. Professor Hughes is a leading international researcher on human trafficking. She has completed research on the trafficking of women and girls for sexual exploitation in the United States, Russia, Ukraine, and Korea and also does research and writing on women's rights.
Dr. Pravin Patkar, a Fulbright Scholar from India will be in residence in Sociology and Anthropology during the 2015-16 academic year. The founder of Prerana, a center for women and children in Kamathipura - the largest red-light district in the world -- he written extensively on the topic of human trafficking. He has worked with victims of bonded labor (modern-day slavery) and prostitution and sex trafficking, and is an advocate for laws and policy that protect victims and hold perpetrators accountable. Dr. Patkar will be doing research and co-teaching courses with Professor Donna Hughes.
Julie C. Keller has joined the department as an Assistant Professor of Sociology. She received her PhD in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2013. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Environmental Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley. Before coming to URI, Professor Keller was a Visiting Assistant Professor and Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Oberlin College.
Rosaria Pisa has been appointed director of the Gender and Women's Studies program. Professor Pisa has conducted in-depth fieldwork in rural and urban Mexico since 1993. Her research has evolved from studying the impact of the privatization of communal land on community life to her current focus on the gender dynamics of local and organic farming.
URI Anthropology & History student, Morgan Breene, earns prestigious international award to continue her studies of underwater archaeological sites. For full article click here
For the second year in a row, an anthropologist has been awarded the University's Early Career Research Award.
Associate Professor Holly Dunsworth received the 2014 award for her research comparing energy use in apes and other mammals with particular reference to how the energetics and metabolic parameters of pregnancy, fetal growth, infant growth, and lactation and how those determine the timing of birth in humans and other mammals. Kudos to Holly!!!

China Real Time
Whatever happened to "peaceful rise"?
They changed it to "peaceful development," because the term "rise" was starting to scare people. (Not joking).
The Chinese are putting millions of pigeons on steroids. Pretty soon they'll be able to carry away a mid-sized dog -- which will not only hurt the morale of Western enemies but also keep China's refrigerators stocked.
The Chinese people have clear understanding of the intentions of the West and their running dogs. Their ultimate goal is to enslave China. But it is their day dream, wishful thinking. Initiatives should be taken to expose the criminals and turn them into mice on the streets.
China has a long history of welcoming guests and friends from foreign countries and regions. However, the condition ahead is that foreign journalists should do interviews or travel on the basis of abiding by laws in China.
Legal and normal interviews are OK. But our Chinese people do not welcome the foreign reporters fanning the flames and calling white black in China.
Real freedom of the press should be based on the fact itself. The "jasmine revolution" is vague and insubstantial, which is forged by some foreign journalists with ulterior motives. Chinese people do not welcome them!
which is forged by some foreign journalists with ulterior motives. Chinese people do not welcome them!
Why do Chinese officials commit corruption? Expert contributor Russ Moses examines some examples given by the People's Daily newspaper.
Xi Jinping's renewed attention to county leaders shows that he's relying on local officials to play a pivotal role in implementing his program.
In the midst of the stock market turmoil, the risk of Chinese money laundering is greater than ever, writes expert contributor Stanley Lubman.
Is China's economic reform dead? Daniel H. Rosen argues that such proclamations are premature -- and that Xi Jinping has no choice but to push forward.
China's continued stock market instability might not turn out to be dreadful news for President Xi Jinping's chosen agenda

Pictures of Brad Pitt With Knox and Vivienne in Hungary
Pics: Brad Pitt Carries Knox and Vivienne to Join Angelina in Hungary!
Brad Pitt arrived at the airport in Hungary with Knox and Vivienne in his arms this morning. The adorable twins took a cue from their fashionable dad and covered up their long hair with hats for the journey. Brad's taking a break from filming Moneyball to join the rest of the family in Budapest, where Angelina Jolie is working on her first directorial project and Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh are already enrolled in school. Brad waved goodbye to fans in Boston yesterday before bringing his two youngest kids on the long plane flight to meet up with their siblings and mom. The Jolie-Pitts are no strangers to international living, and hopefully their time in Eastern Europe will bring some sweet sightings like the Spring spent in Venice.

Dose of neurontin
Mar 1, 2004
I am not up to 6 pills a day for my neuropathy. I am taking the 300mg pill. I take 3 in the am and 3 in th pm. I don't feel like things are much better. ( I had been on 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening.) Any other ideas
Response from Dr. Boyle
The maximum dose is 2400mg daily (generally divided into 3 doses). If that doesn't work, and you should give it a little time, you can consider lamotrigine.

While the press release doesn't share much in the way of information, we had the opportunity to speak with Twisted Pixel CCO Josh Bear, who told us, "We could have churned out new levels [for Splosion Man], but we wouldn't have had the time to add in new gameplay puzzles or cool new character stuff. But we didn't just want to do Splosion Man 2, it had to be something a ittle more interesting. That is why we decided to do MSM."
Check out the teaser trailer and cheeky press release just after the break, and then read our interview to learn about the game's Ms. Pac-Man homage ("everything was just more polished and better all around"), what former Rock Band 3 senior designer Dan Teasdale is up to since leaving Harmonix (turns out he's serving as the studio's janitor) and how Splosion Man and Ms. Splosion Man are different ("Splosion Man has a penis, Ms. Splosion Man" ... we'll leave the rest to Mr. Bear).
Twisted Pixel Games Proud to Announce the World Won't End in the Fall of 2011
AUSTIN, TX – December 2, 2010 – Twisted Pixel Games was pleased to announce today that their subsidiary, Big Science, has captured the Splosion Man and guaranteed the safety of all humankind. Many remember the terrifying events of July 2009: Splosion Man's horrifying rampage through Big Science laboratories that meated hundreds of scientists and caused untold damage to their underground laboratories. Eye witnesses reported widespread destruction and a staggering number of t-bones and fillets left in his wake.
Today that ends, with Twisted Pixel releasing footage of the successful capture of the renegade experiment. The scientists speak with new-found confidence about their success. Says Dr. Wilson, "Even if some sort of newer, stronger, better threat were created, our newest security measures and fiendish traps would be more than enough to contain it. We've made incredible advances in our technology over this past year.... Not that there would ever be a use for any of it."
Dr. Henry was quick to add, "Our lab, our equipment - everything has had functionality improvements and visual overhauls, and our company has expanded to some incredible new locations. It's all pristine and beautiful - decadent environments that we are very happy no experiment gone wrong will ever rampage through." Dr. Henry paused briefly before continuing, "I don't even know why I'm mentioning that, because it's 100% guaranteed that Splosion Man will never be a threat to us again."
When asked if there was any risk of overconfidence amongst the scientists, Dr. Riley was quick to interject. "Why? What's going to happen, some sort of freak accident in the after party that creates a "Ms. Splosion Man" mere seconds after Splosion Man's capture? And then the Ms. Splosion Man goes on some monster tear in the fall of 2011? Yeah right. Not very likely."Twisted Pixel Games reiterates that despite the fact that nothing could possibly go wrong during today's events, should any newsworthy event occur, they will release as much information as possible in the coming months.

Due to the high level of traffic on I-70 between Topeka and Lawrence, the Kansas Turnpike elected to complete much of a scheduled paving project at night. View the original news release.
Work was completed as scheduled overnight on Thursday, May 1.
Around mid-day today, May 2, the patch work started to come out on the Eastbound side of the road, taking with it larger chunks of asphalt.
KTA maintenance and engineering crews, along with the contractor, had to close two of the three lanes in order to complete the emergency repair work. For safety reasons, this situation had to be addressed immediately. Unfortunately, the lane closures caused backups and lengthy delays.
We are well aware of our customers' expectations and travel needs and sincerely regret that these were not met. The entire purpose of doing work at night is to avoid conditions similar to what was experienced today.
Today BlackTop Nationals announced K-TAG is a new partner for their Classic Car & Motorcycle Event and we couldn't be happier! Our hope in being part of this event is that more people learn the full capabilities of K-TAG and how it can save them time and money when traveling on the Turnpike. To learn more about the partnership, read BlackTop Nationals' press release here.
The Kansas Turnpike Authority conducted a survey between August 28 and September 27, 2013, to determine the satisfaction of K-TAG customers.
The old stereotype of 'cops and donuts' took on a different meaning as Kansas Highway Patrol Troopers assigned to the Turnpike helped with the Grand Opening celebration of Dunkin' Donuts and Hardee's, which recently opened at the Towanda Service Area between Wichita and El Dorado on the Kansas Turnpike. The celebration took place Thursday, Oct. 24, 2013, at 1 p.m.
"It's great to be able to celebrate opening another Hardee's and Dunkin' Donut location on the Turnpike," said Mike King, Kansas Secretary of Transportation and Director of the Kansas Turnpike. "This partnership is well matched because we all feel strongly about the level of service we want to provide to our customers."
Rising Star, the franchise group for both Hardee's and Dunkin' Donuts, was the winning bidder earlier this year at both the Towanda and Matfield Green Service Areas. The group opened the Matfield Green restaurants in late July, then renovated the Towanda space prior to opening last week. KTA appreciates the increased service that GasMart USA, the fuel provider and convenience store operator at these two service areas, provided to travelers during the construction.
Rising Star and GasMart USA recognized the traveling public's patience during the remodel by offering special promotions good at both the Towanda and Matfield Green service areas.
"We are so appreciative of Kansas Turnpike travelers," said Tony Parrish, Hardee's/Dunkin' Donuts vice president of operations. "Like Matfield Green, the Towanda Hardee's had strong sales on its opening day. Kansas travelers are really welcoming us."
To encourage travelers to take a break for safety during the upcoming busy holiday travel periods, Kansas Highway Patrol Troopers at the grand opening handed out safety tips – and donuts.
"Safe driving is such an important message" said Capt. Joe Bott, commander of Troop G, the Kansas Highway Patrol unit with the Turnpike. "Turnpike troopers gladly handed out donuts and interacted with our customers in a fun way in order to forward our message."

The report from the Governor's Sept. 5 Transportation Summit in Emporia is now available here.
There are six service areas along the length of the Turnpike. Each service area offers food, fuel, and rest-room facilities.

Packers Sign Cecil Newton to Practice Squad
Nearly a week after Aaron Rodgers was sacked four times by the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football, the Green Bay Packers have signed guard/center Cecil Newton to the practice squad with the offensive line already showing signs of wear and tear this season.
Normally, a practice squad signing wouldn't qualify as newsworthy, but this time around, Cecil Newton's sibling connection to Carolina Panthers starting quarterback Cam Newton has fans talking. After playing college ball at Tennessee State, Newton has played for two NFL teams already in his young career, but has failed to start for each.
Both the Jacksonville Jaguars and New Orleans Saints have experimented with Newton, but decided to pass. At this time it is unlikely that Newton starts with the Packers this season, but whether or not this another case of Ted Thompson knowing something that we all don't, remains to be seen.

Fearing for your life every time you walk outside, every time you get behind the wheel, every time you see a police officer, every time you breathe, is exhausting. Living in a world in which your blackness and woman-ness makes you less than human -- a hypersexual, angry or subservient caricature, the constant target of catcalling, rape and assault -- is exhausting.
In order to truly make our communities safer, we must make sure that people who have served their time are able to fully and productively engage in our society -- whether through education or employment or some other constructive means.
My professor's perception was rooted in a common false meme that has followed black America since slavery -- the idea that we lack financial acumen, don't know how to build businesses, need to be told what to do with our finances, and are overly reliant on government handouts.
Wouldn't it be great to celebrate black people, just for being black? Nothing is more positive than flipping the script. Where there is oppression, we will uplift. And where there is hate, we'll inject love.
"He that is greatest among you shall be your servant." The late Nelson Mandela, former President of South Africa, modeled servant leadership in action. His leadership focused on the importance of community-building and empowering others to lead social change.
During our weekend together, joy sat right next to pain, our celebration of life right next to our grieving of death. I left feeling affirmed and hopeful.
People of color are dying in custody on a regular basis in this country, but the clearest outrage is being directed against a lion dying at the hands of a hunter in Zimbabwe.
America has always relied on black forgiveness to absolve itself of white guilt. The Charleston massacre was no different. By choosing to highlight the forgiveness of the black faith community, they shifted the burden of responsibility onto the oppressed in a classic display of deflection.
The scarring of war and poverty and racism that Malcolm X spoke of continues. It's time that students learn about the long history of activism that has challenged these deadly triplets.
When I visited Christian Love Baptist Church in Irvington, N.J. on July 19 and heard Johnson speak, six years after her son's death, it wasn't a dramatization of events it was real life. A mother poured her heart out to a congregation, which understood her pain.
While access to culturally diverse providers is low, the cost of mental health treatment remains high, which serves as an additional impediment to bridging the gap between the onset of symptoms and accessing professional care.
When I went to South Africa in 2010 to lead a creative writing club for teenage girls, I made sure to emphasize that word: club. I had never taught writing before, didn't have a teaching assistantship as I earned an MFA in nonfiction. I would not be correcting their grammar, nor assigning homework. Besides, how could I persuade girls to spend their Saturday afternoons in a writing class?
I am sorry for having even an ounce of doubt because I did not want the legacy of America's dad being black to deteriorate. I apologize for being so obsessed with that legacy that it blinded me to any wrongdoing.
No one I knew ever trusted the police. We never believed that they were there to protect and serve us. This became abundantly clear when I was 14 years old.
Getting behind the wheel, Bland had three strikes against her. She was black, female and fearless, a combination that is antithetical to all the vaunted white-centered narratives of driving and freedom in the U.S.
While police brutality affects people of all races and backgrounds in the U.S., it's important to note that black citizens face a unique experience within America's criminal justice system, just as they've faced a unique state of affairs for centuries in the United States.
Dear fellow white feminists, we need to talk about Sandra Bland. More specifically, we need to talk about why we aren't talking about Sandra Bland.
Since seeing the Sandra Bland video, I've been asking myself what I would've done if I were in her shoes. In my mind, I hear my momma telling me, "That's why I always tell you not to talk back to authority."
The extraordinary writer, filmmaker, and professor is on a mission to reach all people -- many of whom may have never been introduced to the power of words, the power of literature.

Still front wheel drive?
I love the swage lines coming from the door handles
very nice
hmmm i wonder if it is going to be as good as the current vxr
No 4x4 ..... my thoughts exactly .
Hmm I like
looks like a vw scirocco
Why do they have to be 4x4? The Focus RS and Megane R26R didn't need it to be quick, just hope this time the VXR get an LSD like they did. I just don't get why people think a fast car needs to be four wheel drive, if anything it makes them slower
I wouldn't take any Autocar "exclusive" seriously. They've been shopping pictures for years and passing them off as "exclusives" when in reality it's just something like a Scirrocco with Vauxhall lights.
Looks like the new Renault Megane but still nice.
Indeed - that's why I phrased it as "Autocar is reporting....". Can't seeing it looking much different to that though - plus it matches the GTC concept from the Paris motorshow.
Looking again I have to agree about the Scirocco .
are gm trying to tell us there merging with vw
Next door had a black one as a hire car for a week . I liked it .
Originally Posted by novanovanova looks like a vw scirocco I agree. All new cars start to blend in to each other tho.
looks alright!
I don't think it looks like the VW Socorro - that has rounded edges and a wide butt. The Astra above is more angular. More like the Megan than the VW IMHO.
not sure its out of the box enough to draw peoples interest, and even with 300bhp it will be boring to drive, to refined and smooth....... and probably too heavy!
i had more fun in a carlton gsi than i did in my old mk4 astra gsi!
if you have 20k to blow on a sporty vauxhall, get a lotus carlton!
I have a feeling this might only be the SRi XP version - not the VXR. I think the VXR may be a bit more bonkers than this. Saying that - the colour is a bit lame - maybe a better colour would help.
Originally Posted by vxlgsi if you have 20k to blow on a sporty vauxhall, get a lotus carlton! Bit old and most have rot , plus the sort of people who would buy the new VXR maybe the types that don't own a car over 5 years old max .
They couldn't see spending 20k on an old barge .. not my thoughts but just trying to see the other side .

Right then people.. I never did do a project thread from building my Corsa LET, Seeing as though the car is now off the road and ready to be stripped and rebuild with a tad more power I thought i'd...
Well I think its about time I start a diary of my latest Mk3 Astra (number 8 I think I've lost count!)
Over the years I've had 5 door and 3 door Mk3's but have always hankered a estate. No one has...
I've had my B6 A4 3.0 quattro for about 3 years now and I've been having a twitch for something new. I've got the A4 exactly how i wanted it, looks fantastic, performs well, great spec. Replacing was...
My car history hasn't been that varied, Mainly consisting of Mk2 and 3 Cavs, Vectras and The current Insignia, spattered with a couple of French that I'd rather not remember.
Anyway, The one out...
hi people this is my mk2.I don't realy go on here much but here goes, I bought this pretty much how it is Apart from the wheels and the mk3 dash it had fitted, Which was done properly but everybody...
Calibra turbo breaking all parts available covered 96k
Engine std £1000 inc new cam belt kit and water pump just fitted complete with everything bar air box.
F28 gearbox lz mechanical speedo...
Testing the water to see if anyone would be interested in my extra low uprated coilovers for XE/LET converted Corsa B & Nova.
Fitted just before PVS and has only covered 700-800 miles.
Just changed my fifth gear ratio 0.89 to 0.744, but I'm finding it slightly too long now.... Is there any Vauxhall fifths that sit nicely somewhere between these two?
It's on an F20 with 4.2 FD.

OPINION: If you listen really carefully right now it's almost possible to catch the sound of panic as thousands of Kiwis realise there's less than three weeks until Christmas and they still haven't secured their holiday accommodation.
They're the ones currently online or on the phone, trawling through lists of hotels and motels trying vainly to secure their spot in the Kiwi summer.
The smart ones, of course, have had this sussed for months, and the really smart ones have completely steered clear of hotel hell and motel mayhem.
A few years ago my family and I made a discovery when it came to holiday accommodation, and that discovery was holiday houses.
Instead of sterile motel rooms, overpriced hotel laundries and High Street settings, we got to love colourful interiors, all-inclusive facilities and hand-picked locations.
Better than that, they normally have a shelf of great books and generous kitchens. And like good craft beer, once you've tried it, it's hard to go back.
There are about 15,000 baches in New Zealand, and since the 2008 global financial crisis they don't appear to have been increasing in numbers. The contracting economy and recent indications that property prices are rising again mean that owning a bach is out of reach for most families.
One factor that has always benefited bach ownership has been the ability to rent out your property when you're not using it, and enjoy both the income and the ability to claim tax deductions.
Last week a draft piece of legislation quietly entered Parliament that would see that situation change, and possibly cap the growth of bach numbers.
The Taxation (Livestock Valuation, Assets Expenditure and Remedial Matters) Bill had its first reading last week. First flagged in the 2012 Budget, the bill tightens the rules around deducting expenses related to assets that are used privately by the owner and also used to earn income. Such "mixed use assets" includes holiday houses.
The current situation around claiming costs on holiday homes is pretty fluid. The IRD guidelines suggest you can claim expenses for all the time that the property is marketed to tenants and able to be rented.
So if an owner stays in their bach for 36 nights a year, they can claim expenses for the other 90 per cent of the year, assuming the house is marketed and available for rent.
Two proposed changes in particular will have an impact, and will come as something of an eye-opener for bach owners who have historically had things made easier thanks to the IRD.
First, a new formula is being introduced to determine the proportion of bach expenditure that can be claimed. This moves away from an arrangement where you claim based on the property's availability, to one based on the proportion of rented versus total use.
Under the proposed law, if you rent your bach out for 50 nights and use it yourself for 100 nights, then you can claim 33 per cent of the common costs (i.e. the fraction from 50 nights rented over 150 total nights in use) in that year.
That compares to the current state of play where you can claim up to 73 per cent of these nights (i.e. 265 total nights available out of 365 total nights in a year).
The second and more contentious change is a new minimum investment return that a bach must achieve before an owner can claim excess deductions (the loss from the bach) against other income.
Under the proposed law, a bach owner must earn 2 per cent or more of the value of the asset before they can claim expenses against other income. So if your bach is worth $300,000 then you need to earn income of $6000 or more before you can claim excess deductions against your main income.
The tricky bit here is working out what a bach (or any other income-earning asset) is worth. After the haemorrhaging of real world property values in the last few years, the market value of a bach is often well below the property's Rating Value (RV). And it is the RV (or acquisition cost) that will be used for this calculation.
The real targets for the changes aren't so much targeting bach owners as the IRD doling out justice to owners of super-yachts, colossal motor homes and luxury aircraft. Historically, this lot have been able to take the mickey, claiming up to 99 per cent of the costs of owning such playthings against their overall income, which seems pretty dubious.
However, it would be a shame if, in trying to nobble the fat cats, the proposed changes also knackered the Kiwi dream of bach ownership.
If you own a holiday house or would like to one day, then these changes are going to impact on you, and you'd be a mug not to express your opinion. The bill is now with the finance and expenditure select committee with the final report due on May 29 next year.
