Steven Thomas wants to cap off a year of honors for the Indonesia Warriors by bringing home the Asean Basketball League title after picking up the award for top defensive player of the season.
The American center was named the 2012 ABL Defensive Player of the Year on Tuesday after receiving the most votes from all head coaches in the regional league. He surpassed two other contenders: Philippine Patriots' Nakiea Miller and Louis Graham of the Singapore Slingers.
He led the league in rebounds during the regular season with 14.67 boards per game. Thomas was the second member of the Warriors to get an ABL award this season after Todd Purves was selected Coach of the Year on Monday.
"It's a very humbling experience for me. It's a blessing to win this award. I take pride in my defense," Thomas, who joined the Indonesian team in April, replacing Reggie Warren, told the ABL website. "But I think it's a team game. You got to have all five guys on the same page. I just try to be a leader on the defensive end."
Thomas said his focus was still on winning matches as he still has important work to do: helping the Warriors win the league title. The team is tied 1-1 with the San Miguel Beermen in their ABL Finals series, with the third and deciding game taking place in the Philippines on Saturday.
"We have a bigger task on Saturday. We know it's going to be tough game playing on the road against San Miguel Beermen. But we are excited and ready to play," Thomas said.
Warriors coach Purves said he was pleased to hear of the honor that was bestowed on his starting center.
Thomas' "work ethic and his efforts on a day-to-day basis really set the standard for our team," Purves said. "I'm very happy that he's being acknowledged by his peers and head coaches. He's been the unquestioned leader for our team and a coach's dream."
Meanwhile, Anthony Johnson of the Patriots was picked by coaches as the ABL's top regular-season import on Wednesday. Johnson beat fellow nominees Tiras Wade of the Westports Malaysia Dragons and the Saigon Heat's Jonathan Jones.
"It's an honor and I'm very grateful to win this award. There were a lot of good players in the ABL this year so it could have easily been someone else. So to me this is a blessing," said Johnson, who finished the season as the league's second-highest scorer, averaging 23.7 points per game.
Johnson's best game this season came when he scored 34 points against the Malaysia Dragons at MABA Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on March 17.

5 insights for executives
A new prescription for market success
What's the bottom line?
In the rapidly evolving market landscape we call Pharma 3.0, pharmaceutical companies must develop new ways of gaining market share.
Companies must focus on being part of the right outcome for patients.
They must become commercially agile — able to move quickly to bring the right resources to bear at the right time.
To survive and to thrive, leading companies are embracing the outcome-based model and adapting their sales, marketing and operations resources accordingly. Companies that do not are likely to find themselves disconnected from the market, with their ability to influence their own success diminished and their very survival possibly at stake.

Planetary Annihilation Summary
Latest news
Uber cancels Human Resources Kickstarter, still looking to bring the RTS to life "in some form"
Uber Entertainment intended RTS Human Resources to be their next big crowd-funded hit, following on from the recently released Planetary Annihilation.
Unfortunately it didn't work out that way. After realising that there's just not the same level of interest in the project as there was in their previous hit, Uber has cancelled its Kickstarter campaign.
You'll be able to play Planetary Annihilation offline later this week
Planetary Annihilation is currently one of those exasperating titles that decides not to work if you don't have a connection to the internet, but thankfully that's about to change.
Developer Uber Entertainment has revealed that a new patch coming this week will enable offline play. Player-run servers are also on the way in a future patch.
Planetary Annihilation trailer reveals September release date
Kickstarter hit Planetary Annihilation is very nearly ready to roll after almost two years in development. A shiny new trailer from the team at Uber Entertainment reveals a September 5 final release date.
My favourite thing about the game? You can use what is essentially the Star Wars Death Star to blow up helpless planets. Really, that's all I've ever wanted from a videogame.
Planetary Annihilation Early Access version now available in retail boxed form
Well this is a new one. Large-scale sci-fi Planetary Annihilation has been out in Early Access mode for quite some time, but now it's also got an actual retail release... for said Early Access version.
After a user on Reddit expressed his confusion at finding a retail box at his local store, developer Uber's director Jan Mavor explained the decision in an email to Game Informer.
Free singleplayer mode added to Planetary Annihilation
Uber Entertainment has announced today that a singleplayer mode has been added to the inter-planetary sci-fi RTS Planetary Annihilation. Available for free, Galactic War mode allows you to explore and battle across a dynamic, procedurally-generated galaxy, taking on AI opponents and unlocking new technology and skills as you go.

Re: Medal of Honor Multiplayer vid
oh god...its HORRIBLE!
Server browser is choking up so bad it times out and keeps trying to log me back in.
I played for about 30 - 40 mins.
The guns have 0 recoil, its worse than MW2 where assault rilfes are snipers.
Game seems to be using DX10 or 11, could be 11 by default (Fraps black box). Frame rate is 60+. The FoV looks like its similar to MW2 ( I am hoping their is a cfg to edit this ).
Graphic wise..it looks meh...the character models are very poor, but i think it could be due to beta.
The engine runs fine, but overall its pretty **** game.
The points you get for killing people get really annoying as it just flashes all over your screen like an arcade game.
Their is no recoil , so anyone can just aim and hold down fire button and have all bullets hit the target.
Speaking of hit markers..it takes way too many bullets to kill someone since all of them hit the target and the hit marker does it's X thing about 20 times before someone dies -.-.
It's a terrible terrible PC FPS game.
I think the target audience for this game is the casual console gamer.

We offer Jujutsu classes for girls and boys ages 6-15*, taught by Sensei Gina Rossi Rehal
Fall schedule:
Ages 6-8: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4:30-5:30 pm
Ages 9-15: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5:30-6:30 pm
Classes follow the Oakland Public School Year Calendar
Suigetsukan youth classes offer a safe environment for girls and boys to learn our form of Jujutsu. Through a blend of games, drills and traditional forms training, students get to have fun while gaining all the well-known benefits of an early martial arts training such as improved self-esteem, confidence, focus and healthier bodies.
Our Jujutsu is derived from the grappling arts of the Samurai—techniques taught to defend themselves were they to lose their weapons on a battlefield. These techniques have evolved to a modern-day system that continues to pay homage to the character and values of the Samurai warriors, while remaining applicable to the physical and mental challenges young people face today.
We believe that martial arts can be beneficial to all kids, and work with each child's unique gifts to help them realize their potential. There is a lot of hype in the commercial world of martial arts for children; as a non-profit dojo, Suigetsukan makes a point of keeping our focus on working with the kids to get the most out of their experience.
Sensei Gina Rossi Rehal has been studying martial arts for 20 years, and is a fourth degree black belt in Danzan Ryu Jujitsu and a third degree black belt in Aikido. She also teaches after school youth classes at Urban Promise Academy in Oakland and adult Jujitsu, Aikido and Battodo classes at Suigetsukan Dojo.
$50 per month sliding scale (No one will be turned away for lack of funds).
*some age exceptions can be made.

Sony Sony is looking for feedback when it comes to their new games streaming/rental service, PlayStation Now, which just began open beta on PS4 yesterday.
My feedback? There's a lot of potential here, but it's marred by a bizarre and complex model.
The technology is pretty great. With only a few hiccups, playback of streamed games seems to be a perfectly acceptable way to play outside of a few framerate issues. In theory, once all the kinks are worked out it's the most ideal way to play a game period, as it doesn't require either a trip to the store and a physical disc, or a huge chunk of your hard drive for a download.
Rather, the problems with PlayStation Now stem from its rental options.
The common refrain is that PS Now is just too expensive. Kotaku had a whole editorial about it earlier where they cite the price of many of the 90 day rentals, and show that these games could easily be bought in their entirety for that price or lower. The same can even be said for a few of the four hour rental rates, if you know where to look.
But as I've browsed through the service so far, I'm not convinced price is the problem here. While I would love a blanket subscription rate of $30 a month or something, I can A) see the wisdom in just offering individual rentals if I don't want to play older games every single month. And B) how much more complicated that would be, and how many titles they would lose, if Sony told all their publisher friends that they'd be wrapped up in a flat subscription fee rather than offering their rental rates individually. EA can do this with $5/mo EA Access because it's all their own games, but Sony would have a much harder time with a huge collection of titles that aren't theirs exclusively.
With that said, the current rental system is way, way too complicated, and just comes off as silly in many ways.
The primary problems? Variable pricing and the four hour and 90 day rental categories.
Variable pricing is in place because Sony gave the publishers and developers free reign to set their own prices, which results in wildly disparate costs for different games and different periods of rental time. It's not even mandatory that you have to have all four categories of rental time. I went to check out Saints Row 3 and found that it only had the four hour and 90 day options.
Those are the worst two time categories, and they're mucking up the entire potential of the service.
It's the four hour and 90 day rentals that are most often cited as overpriced. And while they are, they don't even need to exist in the first place.
Renting a game for four hours is such a situation-specific issue, I don't even think it should be an option. Not when renting for a week is only $2-4 more. Perhaps if you're at a party, I understand wanting to play one game or another for a short period of time, but the problem is the price is being used for ALL of them, making the storefront essentially useless. Nearly every game says "starting from $2.99″ which makes everything seem cheap, but for 90% of these, this is only the four hour rental price which is not enough time to get very much done in the majority of these games.
The same is true for the 90 day rental, which is almost always more than you could buy the game for used or on sale. Again, there are few games where you can't get everything done in 30 days, and if you like a game so much, you want to rent it for full three months, I have no idea why you wouldn't just buy it. This category simply does not need to exist either, and its absence would eliminate many of the "overpriced" claims currently being directed at the service.
And again, all of this is complicated by the individual price setting for each game. The prices of these four categories are wildly variable, and not even all the rental options are available for all the games. Publishers have been given too much freedom here, and Sony should be the one setting a single standard. Otherwise, players will buy used games and the publishers and developers and Sony will all get nothing.
So what should the standard be?
Two rental time periods. Weekly and Monthly. A fixed price between $5-7 for the former, and $8-15 for the latter. And on the very end? An option to simply purchase and download the game outright via PSN, if it's for sale in the store. I'm amazed this option doesn't exist now.
While in a perfect world, Sony would offer a blanket subscription and unlimited access to all these games for a set price, it's hard to see that happening in a cost-effective format. Even if I have an itch to play Twisted Metal or Deus Ex, I can't say that I will for sure get my money's worth out of PS Now every month, so a $20-30 subscription might not be a good value. I'm realizing that individual rental may not be a bad idea for video games, even if that model has nearly dried up for movies.
Many, myself included, equate PS Now with Blockbuster when it should be looking to Netflix Netflix, but thinking about it, there is still a market for individual rentals. Blockbuster did not collapse because of its game rental policies, and both its prices and Gamefly's are similar to what we see here with weekly pricing, for the most part. The system can work and there are few problems with the tech itself, but right now the model is so varied and convoluted, it's not very appealing.
Price is really only an issue because these two categories, 4 hour and 90 day, exist when they shouldn't, and publishers are given free rein to price things absurdly, and some have taken advantage of that.
If PS Now was more uniform and simplified, it could be a hell of a service. But right now, it has a long way to go.

World folklore
Disc-like crinoid columnals in German folklore were referred to as Bonifacius Pfennige (St Boniface's pennies) (Bel 1939).
Ciantar (1772, p. 424) referred to 'stones in the form of stars' which in Maltese folklore were said to be blessed by St Paul, as with many other products from the island (see pages on sharks' and bony fish teeth). These fossil sea-lily columnals were considered to be antidotes for poisons, and the Maltese would implant them in special anti-poison cups made from the crushed limestone of the cave where St. Paul reportedly spent his three month stay on Malta (Zammit-Maempel, 1989, p. 16).

The question of whether a person ought to be canonized by the Catholic Church is one on which non-Catholics ought to remain largely silent. Even when it comes to historical figures who are mired in controversies that touch on the sensitivities of other faiths and peoples—the candidacy of World War Two-era Pope Pius XII comes to mind—those non-Catholics inclined to an opinion on the question of who is or is not recognized by the Catholic Church ought to err on the side of silence. Just as it is not the business of any faith to edit the prayers of other religions, so, too, must we treat the process by which the Vatican confers upon figures the title of saint as being one that is rooted in a faith that merits our respect, whatever our opinions about the actions or lives of specific candidates might be.
But in the cases of Popes John XXIII and John Paul II, both of whom were canonized today in a solemn ceremony in Rome, it is entirely appropriate to add our applause to the acclaim that has greeted the honor accorded those two individuals. That both of these men are important figures in the history of the church as well as the world is not in question. But each deserves special recognition from Jews. The combined efforts of the pair transformed interfaith relations between these two communities of faith from a theoretical construct that was mostly observed in the breach to a living, breathing friendship. In the history of the church, these two popes stand as beacons not only of the struggle for human freedom but for the capacity of an ancient church to change so as to be able to embrace those who practice another, even older faith.
The role that John Paul II played in the struggle against Communism is well known. The first Polish pope was a symbol of the fight for freedom behind the Iron Curtain. If Stalin famously and satirically asked "how many divisions" did the pope have about one of John Paul's predecessors, then the Soviet tsar's successors found how just how powerful a man of faith could be. If in the medieval era and specifically in the 19th century, the church was viewed by many as an ally of the established order in Europe against the cause of liberty, John Paul II made it clear that in the 20th century, Catholics were on the front lines in the battle for individual liberty against the toxic influence of totalitarianism.
That stand by itself would have secured John Paul's place in history. But he also deserves enormous credit for transforming Catholic-Jewish relations. While some in the media took a cynical view of Pope Francis's effort to highlight the similarities between John XXIII, who is viewed as the hero of church liberals, and John Paul II, who is depicted as the champion of conservatives, there is no question that they shared a common agenda when it came to revolutionizing relations between Catholics and Jews.
John XXIII is best remembered for his convening of the Second Vatican Council that led to changes in Church doctrine and practices. Most importantly for Jews, it ended the teaching of the deicide myth, effectively acquitting the Jewish people of a role in the killing of Jesus. He also ended the use of the word "perfidious" with respect to Jews in Catholic prayers. But even long before this important work, John XXIII earned the gratitude of the Jewish people for his role in saving many Jews from the Holocaust while serving as papal nuncio in Turkey and Greece. After the Shoah, while serving in the same capacity in France he refused orders not to return baptized Jewish children to their surviving parents. He is also believed to have helped influence Pope Pius XII to remain silent about the question of partition of Palestine thus making it easier for Catholic countries to vote for the creation of a Jewish state.
Pope John Paul II built on the good work of Pope John XXIII with regard to interfaith relations. He was the first pope to visit a synagogue as well as the one who finally recognized the State of Israel. His advocacy for treating Jews as brothers in faith rather than rivals or enemies marked a turning point for the relationship between the two faiths and in the way Catholics were educated by their church. Under his leadership, the church became a bulwark in the struggle against anti-Semitism in a manner that it had never before assumed. Just as important, his personal example of friendship with Jews with whom he had grown up in Poland and suffered under Nazi rule ended forever the notion of a natural antagonism between Catholics and Jews.
No person, even a saint, is perfect, and it is possible to construct a critique of John Paul II's papacy in terms of its slow reaction to the pedophile scandal that rocked Catholicism on his watch. But that is a problem that predated his papacy and cannot be ascribed to the Vatican as it can to specific individuals or institutions. Whatever we may think about the church's past failures in that regard, it does not erase his or any other pope's good work.
Thus, while I cannot venture an opinion as to the qualifications of either man (or anyone else for that matter) for Catholic sainthood, I can say that both John XXIII and John Paul II stand as two of the most important positive figures in the history of Jewish-Catholic relations. They are richly deserving of the title of Righteous Among the Nations, the name of the honor given by Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust memorial, to those who saved Jews during the Holocaust. May the memories of both these popes be for a blessing.

Here's Justin Kan of Justin.TV, the dude wearing the live TV camera on his head. I hung out with him LA last week where he was live casting his experience at the AlwaysOn conference. Justin is streaming live Flash video through a wireless device. This is no publicity stunt, it's about business. He says his company will soon launch a platform that will provide users the tools to upload and stream live video around social and business environments. He thinks that live video will be huge and it will manifest itself in ways that no one foresees. I agree. In a development today related to live networks of consumers creating Flash video, On2 Technologies announced a Web-based live Flash tool. It allows folks with a user name and password to plug a digital camera into a USB or Firewire port and start streaming. It's Windows only at the moment but will support Mac soon. Keep posted on this trend, live will be huge and it's great that Justin has illuminated us about this. See this video on Beet.TV: http://www.beet.tv/2007/05/justintv_readie.html

Good to Keep Warmer in Pool
I really am enjoying wearing these to keep warmer in the indoor pool. I have thin legs so I need to roll the legs up part way up my thigh until they feel snug to keep water from leaking in around my legs. I am grateful to be able to keep getting the exercise I need and still stay warm enough.

These shorts fit very tight around the waist. There needs to be an adjustable tie at the waist to allow got more comfort. They definitely keep you warm in the colder water
San Mateo Ca
Fit: Feels too small
Loved these for body boarding in the summer
They are true to size. could be tighter around leg openings. They stretch out, a bit after an hour in the ocean. Body glove makes a nice product. cute flower graphic in light blue, up the side of the thigh area.
Cali Gal

warm shorts for cooler days
A small fits me quite well. I especially like the high waist that keeps my core warm in the water when I body surf. My only complaint is that the leg openings are larger than I would expect of a small.
Mary N.
Far Rockaway, NY
Legs should be tighter.
I am 5'4'' and on the skinny side (104 lbs); I bought the size small swim trunks that fit perfectly on my waist and hips but the legs (thighs) are too loose so water seeps in when I swim. This is the reason why I didn't give this product a rating of 5.
Vickie S.
Arlington, VA
Just as expected
I use them for fall water skiing. Fit is good and comfortable.
Thank you. it is great thing for my work!
Excellent wet suit shorts
Great shorts, XL was the right size for me (10-12 normally). Nice fit, high waist so a wet suit top will cover fine. Nice styling for women. Highly recommend. Nice price at Swim Outlet.

New Study Looks to Brighten Kids' Smiles
In recent health news, a dental study is examining babies' teeth to learn how to better prevent tooth decay in young children.
The SMILE study (Study of Mothers' and Infants' Life Event affecting oral health), spearheaded by the University of Adelaide, will investigate 1800 kids from birth until two to three years of age.
"We believe that oral health should not be looked at in isolation from other factors in children's lives, and that a combined preventive approach, targeting both oral health and general health conditions, could yield significantly greater benefits for children," explains study leader Associate Professor Loc Do, from the Australian research Centre for Population Oral Health at the University of Adelaide's School of Dentistry.
In the last several years, there has been a push to understand why tooth decay still remains a prevalent issue in the oral health for kids in the U.S. – especially since the trend has worsened in the 2000s. From the early 1970s until the mid-1990s, tooth caries declined in the baby teeth of children ages 2 to 11. However, based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2004, the trend reversed. Children with baby teeth showed a significant rise in decay. In short, cavities are on the up.
The trend can affect more than just a kid's primary teeth. If baby teeth don't fall out at the normal time and instead rot prematurely, then adult teeth don't come in correctly. This means children can experience problems like abnormal (over or under) bites and crowded teeth, and will have to undergo cavity treatment in their permanent teeth.
Link to obesity
Experts believe the uptick of tooth decay is due to the increase in sugar in kids' diets.
After all, diet is inextricably tied to both oral health and obesity. The sugary and fatty products we consume may lead to tooth caries as well as being overweight.
Parents are giving their children more bottled drinks instead of tap water that contains fluoride, and more processed snack foods than in the past.
"If you don't have healthy teeth, your body's not healthy," says Dr. Mary Hayes, a Chicago pediatric dentist and spokesperson for the American Dental Association. "When you get started in a negative way, you're vulnerable to loss of teeth, you're vulnerable to infection."
For the SMILE study, parents will participate in a questionnaire about a range of aspects of their child's life, such as diet, food variety and fluid consumption. The overarching question: what is the main contributor to poor oral health in kids, and how can we change it?
As we have been made well aware, childhood obesity is rampant among America's youth, affecting 17 percent of U.S. kids and teens.
Despite the fact the obesity rates seem to have reached a plateau for children, it is not something to take our eyes off of.
Attacking how we diet at a very early age may help steer us away from both problems.
Lower income health risks
Unfortunately, kids living in families with lower incomes are more prone to tooth caries and obesity.
Black children have an average of 43 percent prevalence rate of caries in baby teeth from youth 2 to 11 years-old, while Hispanic children top off at 55 percent. White children round out at 39 percent.
The obesity statistics follow suit. According to the Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System data taken in 2009, one in three low-income children is overweight or obese before their fifth birthday.
Associate Professor Loc Do stresses that the SMILE study could help combat differences in oral health problems within a range of socioeconomic groups.
"This could provide us with opportunities to develop more targeted strategies to improve the oral health of disadvantage young children," he says.
Finding more accessible oral care including cavity treatment and changes in diets remain a top priority.

Crawley boss Richie Barker knows what is in store when his side head to Peterborough on Saturday.
Barker travelled to London Road to see Tuesday night's Capital One Cup clash with Reading, in which Posh ran out convincing 6-0 winners.
"I thought Wolves on Friday would be up there as one of our toughest games," said Barker.
"But to go up there on Tuesday and watch that - they've really sent out a warning to the rest of the division.
"Peterborough haven't really had to change their team after being relegated which is good management, and they look like a team who have been playing together a long time.
"They were excellent, but we can play as well."

Posted by kellyhogaboom on Apr 30, 2010 in dailies | 13 comments
So it's kind of funny that I thought my little discussion with the neighbor fellow would be my main interpersonal challenge of the day. Because not an hour and a half after we arrived home for errands, just when I was about to round up my kids playing outside, Nels was brought home – in a squad car. My son had (without checking with me first) tried to catch the bus to see his father at work. With no coat. Or shoes. So this nice police officer brought him home. And lectured me (don't worry, I did participate in the discussion). And called CPS. w00t!
I'm kind of through defending our lifestyle (altho' I may in fact NOT be through with this, CPS-wise! Hee hee!), which I've done many times here on this blog, eloquently or no. At this moment I'm torn between laughing and thinking of the awesomeness of my kid vs. seriously dreading any follow-up (the PITA of which is at the discretion of Authorities), because really? I have a life to lead, and get on with. But: whatever. So I hope someone's on my side when I get hauled off to the pokey.
I love the policeman (who is a mandated reporter, so he really did have to make this call) said I'd "done nothing wrong" and there was "no danger" and CPS would "do nothing". He repeatedly assured me not to worry. "You have a nice house and clearly you are caring for your kids." Um, yay for being white and middle class? Good luck, everyone else who isn't in that category!
So something kind of amazing (altho' minor) happened. My husband had called Helsing Junction Farm to get their brochures to pass out around town so people could sign up for the CSA we've been enjoying the last few years (What's a CSA? [here]). Due in no small part to our involvement (including a collaboration with this farm and several other locals at last autumn's Food, Inc. screening, which my husband spearheaded), I discovered the drop sites this year are the usual larger urban areas of Seattle and Oly/PDX and? Wait for it… Hoqiuam.
Get that? Local, sustainable, organic CSAs now available in larger urban PNW crunchy communities – and – Hoquiam. Motherfucking Hoquiam!
Seriously, even though I don't deserve to be a mom and stuff, I am not entirely a wretched human being.
(Bonus: vote in comments: should Kelly get to keep her son Nels? Yes or no?)
Hmmmmm… I GUESS you can keep him, just this once. You rock, btw.
All this child protecting shit makes me tired.
Sounds like a "dislike" day for the Hogaboom's! My vote is yes! :o)
Do people even think anymore? Why call the police? Are some people so damn lazy that they can't take a moment to figure out such a simple situation and possibly come up with a reasonable solution? Calling the cops should be reserved for emergencies and illegal activity. If I had found Nels shoeless and coatless, I would surmise that he most likely lives nearby. Such an independent kid probably knows his home phone number. Did no one on the bus have a damn cell phone? Additionally, as a passenger, I would understand that the driver most likely couldn't abandon the bus to assist Nels, so I would offer to walk him home.
I must say that my head is spinning because a few years ago I was one of those parents that might ask, "Where is this kid's parents?" More recently however, after reading about free range kids, reflecting on my own childhood and now visiting the family lives of homeschoolers via blogs, has led me toward the other side of the equation. I'll admit that I still cling to the Mean World Syndrome to some degree, primarily when it comes to letting my 5-year-old daughter walk around out of sight. But I am learning, and more importantly remembering that even as a kid, a life worth living contains risk. As you already pointed out, shouldn't we teach our kids to think for themselves?
I had zero supervision when I was a kid and I was responsible for my three younger brothers and a younger sister. I think I overcompensated in the other direction with my oldest (now 18) and I can already see the damage that I caused. We protected her too much. I'm just hoping I can teach her to be more independent while she's still living in our house. Don't get me wrong, she's a great person. She just has trouble DOING things that require problem solving skills or personal initiative. It makes me feel like crap every time I think about it.
So yes, Kelly can keep her son Nels, because I would wager that he could have boarded that bus with shoes, a coat, bus fare AND a note from mom. They still would have called the cops. You did nothing wrong. Mainstream America just doesn't trust children. The good news is that parents like you are waking some of us up and let me tell ya, it's a GREAT feeling to be alive again.
…wow, that was a long comment…sorry
You only get to keep him as long as that beautiful hair of his gets to grow out again
also – if you can, please send a brochure my way, I have been wanting to sign up this year for Helsing! THX!
I second what K8 says. It makes me tired.
My kid wouldn't say hello to an older gentleman who walks his aged dalmatian by our house every morning. He walked by one morning and said hello to me as I was getting the 2 younger ones in the car for a visit to the doctor and mentioned that Maeve won't respond when he says hello to her. I apologized and said that she has taken stranger worry to an extreme, which is the opposite of how she was in Germany, when she'd open the door without asking if it was okay (clad only in her underpants). I was glad he said something to me because I don't want her to go around the neighborhood thinking everyone is a threat to her.
I think what you're doing with the kids is great. Anyone from CPS who thinks that your kids are in danger should look back on their own youth for a moment. 25-30 years ago we slid on metal slides in the playground, rode our bikes everywhere without helmets, played outside, climbed trees and had what seems to be more freedom. We knew our neighbors and they knew us. And our parents didn't freak out. I don't think life was simpler; I think it was more relaxed, in a way.
Oh, and you can keep Nels. Unless he says otherwise. Somehow I suspect you'd have a hard time getting him to leave you, adventurous though he is.
Ahhh… I think if you're gonna get carted off to the pokey, Kelly, then quite a lot of us are. (And, likely, the judge will be an old and greying chap who ALSO tried to catch the bus barefoot and with no money when he was Nels' age, and he'll nostalgically reminisce and then decide to let us all go. And we'll all go for icecream and soda pops at Ma Kettle's street corner ice cream saloon afterward. So, nothing to worry about, really.)
Oh, but yes: Ditto on what K8 said. I always pictured bus drivers as nicer than that, to be honest.
By the way, did I ever mention the book 'Stopping at Every Lemonade Stand' to you? If not, I'll order a truckfull and you can have them distributed around Hoquiam.
Wow. This is one of those "I'm laughing and crying at the same time" moments. Gotta love Nels, and you, Kelly, for being able to look at this for what it is. Not knowing all of the circumstances (like how the police were contacted) I do have to say that there is a sense of comfort, for me anyway, in knowing that if there was a child actually in danger, that we can most likely be assured that someone will do something. Saw a news story the other day where a homeless man had been shot and was lying on the sidewalk and there was video of people just walking by, no one offering to help. I can honestly say that this would not happen here. But my question is "Should Nels get to keep you?" Answer: Yes, this time. Love you all.
yes- Kelly, and Ralph, and Sophie, and Chickens, and Gecko, and Cats, and Neighbors- they all get to keep nels
I vote yes.
@ Daniel, thanks for the book recommendation. I checked my library and they actually have a copy. I put it on hold and will pick it up Monday. I read the intro on Amazon and it sounds like a good one.

HiTHERM Polyiso and your current Project
If you are looking for an insulation for your project, HiTHERM has something for you. HiTHERM offers closed cell polyisocyanurate insulation products that can continuously operate between -297°F and +400°F, which is a wider temperature range than any other high performing polyiso insulation manufacturer.
Chilled Water, Refrigeration, Cryogenics
HT-300®, with the low water absorption of 0.05psf, industry leading k-factor of 0.165 BTU-in/hr-ft2-°F and the fact that polyiso is not a food source for mold, makes polyiso insulation a natural choice for chilled/hot water, refrigeration, cryogenics and low pressure steam.
Medium Pressure Steam
HT-450®, with an operating temperature of up to +400°F continuous, offers engineers and designers another cost effective option for low to medium pressure steam lines. HT-450 also maintains one of the lowest k-factors in the industry and is far more cost effective than other insulations such as cellular glass and other high temp insulations that have k-factors that are almost 3x higher than HT-450! Keep in mind, the lower the k-factor, the more efficient an insulation is and the less material you need to maintain the same efficiency.

Travellers Cheques
Traveller's cheques are one of the most traditional ways to carry currency abroad. They provide a secure way to carry money - if lost or stolen they can still be replaced, whereas cash can be lost forever. Therefore, travellers who need to carry large amounts of currency can have peace of mind. What should you look out for when comparing traveller's cheque services? The most important thing to check is what exchange rate is offered. This will be updated regularly so check the latest one to see how much you are saving in the exchange. Next, find out the maximum allowable amount of cheques as this may vary. If you are going on a long trip you may need a large amount of currency. After choosing your service, simply click 'Apply'.
Need Help? If you would like further information and wish to speak to someone: Contact Us >>
Compare Travellers Cheques
Before going away make sure you are prepared for how you are going to spend your money once you get there.
Spending your money while you are abroad
There are 3 main options that you have for spending your money while you are away. These are travel money, travel FX cards or travellers cheques. Before you decide what option is best for you, you should work out how much cash you think you will need so you can see how much you are getting for your money. It is important that you choose the right option for your needs.
Planning how you will spend your money while you are away in advance is guaranteed to save you money. Simply changing your money at the airport is probably the least cost effective option.
What are Travellers Cheques?
Travellers cheques are pre-printed cheques for a fixed amount in a single currency. They might seem a bit old fashioned but if you are visiting a country where credit cards are not accepted or you do not want to carry large amounts of cash then you might want to consider using travellers cheques. Travellers cheques are convenient; you can pick them up through a branch or order them online.
What are the benefits?
Travellers cheques are much safer than carrying cash and are available in many currencies, can be exchanged at hotels, banks, foreign exchange bureaus and are also accepted at many shops and restaurants. They let you budget and control your travel expenses with ease and they do not expire so any used cheques can be saved for future trips. Travellers cheques can also be easily replaced if they are lost or stolen.
How to use them?
When you receive the cheques you should sign them immediately on the top left hand line because in many cases you are not protected if they get stolen or you lose them until you do so. Remember to keep your cheques secure by not countersigning them until you want to use them. Keeping a note of the serial numbers will also help you if you need to report them stolen or lost.
When exchanging travellers cheques please note that commission charges may apply and these fees can vary depending on your location. Furthermore, you should also take into account where you are travelling to because more remote destinations are less likely to have outlets that will be able to exchange your travellers cheques.
Finding the right service
You should take the time to compare different companies that can offer travellers cheques to help you find the best possible deal. Make sure you look at all the features including fees, exchange rates and whether there are any additional benefits. Use the table above to find the right service for you.

A few friends and I went to Ducks on Aug 2nd to give them a try. We had heard great things and had to go there. We were blown away. A wild and varied menu yielded unexpected tastes. We left with our bellies full and the promise to return. Hightlights: A brisket and Oyster soup, brisket jerky, and crawfish. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was casual and relaxed.

Went to Ducks with a few friends and we all really enjoyed it. We tried a bunch of different things, and the short ribs, jerky, wings and dry rub ribs were all amazing. My friends convinced me to try the pig ears (I'm not usually adventurous) and they were really good. The place has a great vibe, and an interesting combination of smoky flavors. Will definitely go back.

Building America Solution Center a Great New Resource for Consumers and Residential Builders
The U.S Department of Energy has launched the Building America Solutions Center website. Building America is a program that is operated by the Department of Energy to investigate best practices for residential construction. They have accumulated a great deal of information from the field and done several experiments that up until now have only generally been shared within the Building Science community. It is a wonderful resource for building professionals and consumers who want to make the best choices when improving the energy efficiency in residential construction.
The Solution Center website shares best practices and other project resources to help plan, implement and measure energy efficiency programs for residential buildings and homes. The site includes resources to answer questions regarding new energy efficient technologies, projecting savings, financing home improvement projects.
This is public / private partnership funded research and everyone should be aware that it exists so they can make the best choices as we all move toward improving the energy efficiency of our buildings.
Spread the word about this great resource!
Great publish Without a doubt. Many thanks pertaining to sharing.
unbelievably fantastic write-up. Thanks a lot with regard to providing that info.
Pretty! This was an incredibly wonderful post. Thank you for

A recommender system is a filtering algorithm that helps you find the right match by offering suggestions based on your choices and information you have provided. A latent factor model is a successful approach. Here an item is characterized by a vector describing to what extent a product is described by each of N categories, and a person is characterized by an ``interest'' vector, based on explicit or implicit feedback by this user. The recommender system assigns ratings to new items and suggests items this user might be interested in. Here we present results of a recommender system designed to find recent literature of interest to people working in the field of solid state physics. Since we do not have explicit feedback, our user vector consists of (implicit) ``usage.'' Using a system of N keywords we construct normalized keyword vectors for articles based on the keywords of that article and its bibliography. The normalized ``interest'' vector is created by calculating the normalized frequency of keyword occurrence in the papers cited by the papers read.

When a computer hibernates, it saves RAM contents to a swap file or partition and completely powers off. Another operating system can be booted if necessary during the time the other system is hibernated (however, this is not recommended). When the computer is resumed from hibernation, it copies this data back into RAM and resumes with the same state and opened programs as before.
Hibernation on Ubuntu is initiated by executing
pm-hibernate with root privileges. Because it does not resume properly on some computers, possibly corrupting opened filesystems or files and destroying non-saved data, hibernating is not available by default in the main power menu at the upper right hand corner in Precise or Quantal but must instead be enabled manually.
Touching a filesystem (or swap partition) in use by a hibernated operating system is dangerous, and so Ubuntu will not mount a hibernated Windows drive. It must be either mounted read-only (preferred) or have its hibernation file removed before it can be accessed.

There will be spoilers for Cataclysm in this post.
The Prophet Velen plays a long game. He thinks ahead and considers not only the past and the present but the future, which befits one who has lived for over 25,000 years and can see into the future (however malleable that future might become). To the Prophet, racial grudges, territorial acquisition, even revenge for injuries done to his people -- none of it matters. Even the great Cataclysm is unimportant. Because Velen has seen that all the battles we've fought are merely harbingers and the greatest conflict in the universe is approaching. And every son and daughter of the Light, no matter how tenuous his or her connection, no matter what forces he or she has chosen to consort with (be they divine, elemental, arcane or even fel), will have to make a choice and pick a side.
The final battle approaches. The world of Azeroth has been chosen. Good versus evil, light against darkness, life opposing death. What side will you choose?
The war between light and darkness
We recently were exposed to the new introductions for each race that will be coming in Cataclysm. For the purposes of our discussion, the draenei introduction will be revisited here.
The first thing to consider here is that this puts the entirety of what was experienced during The Burning Crusade in an entirely new light. The return to Outland, the battles with Illidan's forces and the final confrontation on the Sunwell Plateau with the Legion that led to the defeat of Kil'jaeden and the revitalization of the Sunwell were all chess moves in a much bigger conflict, gambits that helped set up the war to come. Kil'jaeden's "defeat" was, at best, the equivalent of a stumble. He still exists, still commands the Legion, and still desires to do what even Sargeras could not and conquer the exasperating world that has twice now balked the Legion's ambitions. Furthermore, the Battle for the Undercity and the defeat of Varimathras are even more portentous.
Varimathras yells: Welcome to your future -- what little there is left of it...
Varimathras yells: Too long... Tireless, endless planning... It will not end like this...
Varimathras yells: Need more time... The Master is near...
Varimathras yells: Such power! Can you not feel it, mortals? Cease this foolishness and join me!
Varimathras yells: I will not fail! Not again!
Varimathras yells: I cannot hold... Destabilizing...
A distant voice yells: YOU HAVE FAILED ME, VARIMATHRAS!
Varimathras yells: A thousand-thousand pardons, Master! I will deal with these intruders myself!
If, as is speculated, the distant voice is Sargeras, then we have an interesting situation. At present, the majority of the Burning Legion follows Kil'jaeden. But the eredar lord knows his position is tenuous, and clearly the nigh-unkillable dreadlords have at least the potential to be directly instructed by Sargeras. Mal'ganis, Balnazzar and Varimathras at the least seem to have resisted death even from powerful entities such as Arthas wielding Frostmourne. Why we haven't seen Tichondrius or Anatheron return yet is an open question, although one could speculate that Illidan somehow counts as a dreadlord. We know the Nathrezim aren't supposed to fight each other. It's therefore possible to speculate that dreadlords can kill one another. Kil'jaeden is mighty indeed, but he stands no chance at all in a direct confrontation with Sargeras.
The world and all that is in it
It seems that Kil'jaeden intends to usurp total control over the Legion. One of his statements when entering Azeroth through the Sunwell was: "The expendable have perished ... So be it! Now I shall succeed where Sargeras could not! I will bleed this wretched world and secure my place as the true master of the Burning Legion. The end has come! Let the unraveling of this world commence!" This leads us to more questions. Why is the unraveling of Azeroth so important? Why will succeeding where Sargeras could not secure Kil'jaeden's place at all? Sargeras could easily destroy Kil'jaeden and probably whatever forces Kil'jaeden could muster against him from the Legion, even if the entire Legion somehow became loyal to Kil'jaeden over Sargeras, which Varimathras proves is not the case.
Must not give up, must ... remember
So we return to Velen and his prophecy of a coming final battle between the forces of the Light and those of darkness. In a new quest line in the Swamp of Sorrows, Velen points out that the Light does not abandon anyone. It did not abandon Crusader Bridenbrad in the face of the Scourge and their plague. It did not abandon Nobundo when he became stricken by the demonic fel energies and could not hear it anymore, no matter what his small-minded contemporaries said. It never abandoned the Broken or the Lost Ones. Velen directly states that this is the case.
In the quest Remember the Light, players witness the death of Magtoor, the leader of the Broken currently residing in the Harborage. Anchorite Avuun, who came to the Harborage to attempt to reconcile the Broken with the draenei, cannot heal Magtoor with the power of the Light. Desperate, he turns to players for aid, but none of the remedies they help him create can save Magtoor from dying. In the end, in sorrow and grief, Avuun comes close to losing his faith.
Then Velen arrives.
The Light does not abandon its champions
Taken as such, Velen's actions in the Sunwell Plateau take on new significance. Not only did he aid the blood elves who had attacked his people, stolen the naaru vessel they depended upon and nearly killed them when they crash landed on Azeroth, but he did so to help them see that the Light had never abandoned them. M'uru's ultimate fate as the spark that rekindled the Sunwell and brought the truth of the Light back to a people who had once followed it, then believed it had turned its back on them, was the truth brought into relief through conflict. The Light does not abandon its champions. Even in the face of the darkness, even when plague and evil strike and all seems lost, even when its quiet voice cannot be clearly heard -- the Light is waiting for you. Factions do not matter in comparison with this one, ultimate choice. (As a real-life analog, Zoroastrianism is fairly similar.)
Therefore, when defeating Kil'jaeden, it was important to not only defeat him but leave him still active, because in so doing, Velen turned the dark forces' tendency to divide and corrupt back upon themselves. The Legion still exists, but it is broken into divisions squabbling for power, weakened and unable to turn its full attention to Azeroth at the one moment when that world is itself rent by disaster and malevolence. The cataclysm brought about by Deathwing would be a most opportune moment for the Legion to strike, as Sargeras attempted during the war against the Scourge. But Velen has ensured that the darkness finds itself divided and unable to pursue an agenda fully just as it would benefit them most.
Velen plays a long game. The current struggles only serve to temper those who will make up the Army of the Light and hone them in battle against those who knowingly or not heed the darkness' call. Because the Light does not abandon its champions. It wishes suffering upon none. But it does not reign unopposed in this realm.

Not many people celebrate their birthday by releasing a single. But not many people are rock legends with legions of fans, even after ten years away from the music business.
David Bowie did just that, releasing the song "Where Are We Now?" on iTunes. The album, titled The Next Day, will be released in March.
What Bowie has been doing in the ten years since his last release has been the subject of much speculation, with rumors swirling that he has been sick or "having work done."
Whatever he has been doing, making music has obviously been the most recent thing;. The Next Day will be a 17 track album.
"Where Are We Now?" while not quite classic rock and roll Bowie, is reminiscent of his more melancholy tunes, evoking the same kind of feelings one might get from "Heroes," coincidentally so as "Heroes" was recorded in Berlin, the city Bowie is singing about on the current single.
There's a decidedly heavy mood here; a somber, melancholy feel which might not be what one expects from a comeback record. If you were looking for something rousing and upbeat you won't find it on this single. What you will find is David Bowie daring to be David Bowie of 2013 and not someone trying to reclaim the past. While the reaction to the song has been mixed, most Bowie fans will find something in "Where Are We Now?" to love. After all, what's not love about a Bowie comeback?
"Where Are We Now?" is available for purchase on iTunes. You can pre-order the album as well.

Kevin McHale reaches deal to coach Rockets
May 27, 2011, 3:24 PM EDT
UPDATE 3:24 pm: Well, that didn't take long. The two sides have come to an agreement in principle and Kevin McHale is your new coach of the Houston Rockets.
This is reportedly a four year deal with a team option for the last year. This is a Rockets roster in flux, it will be interesting to see what it looks like in four years and how (or if) McHale can mold that lineup.
12:55 pm: Kevin McHale badly wanted another chance to prove himself as an NBA head coach. Looks like he is going to get it.
The Rockets have offered their head coaching job to Kevin McHale, according to multiple sources, including the Houston Chronicle (Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo had it first). They still have to negotiate terms but both sides want this so expect it to get done.
McHale beat out Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey and Celtics assistant Lawrence Frank — both former NBA head coaches — for the job.
McHale has an unimpressive 39-55 record in two half-seasons with the Wolves, but that is without context. In both cases he stepped in midseason for a fired coach (Flip Saunders and Randy Whitman) and in both cases the team played better under him than it did his predecessor.
McHale is a legendary Celtics forward with a nice collection of rings. He should be great at molding a young, talented big man — too bad the Rockets don't have one of those.
Rockets GM Daryl Morey was looking for a guy for the long term, to rebuild with as the coach. This older generation player is an interesting choice.
- henryd3rd - May 27, 2011 at 1:49 PM
As long as he doesn't have approval over trades why not. Wait! Maybe he can get lucky and get Danny Ainge to trade Rondo for Yao Ming? Danny owes him one!
- purdueman - May 27, 2011 at 2:09 PM
Separated at birth: Kevin Mc Hale and Herman Munster.

- zrbk - May 27, 2011 at 4:27 PM
He might help Scola to evolve his game to an all-star level. Otherwise, let's see if Thabeet will actually become Mutombo Lite (I doubt it). It's difficult to imagine the Rockets becoming a contender with the current roster, but let's just give McHale a chance to prove himself.
- bmorehomeofthewire - May 27, 2011 at 4:42 PM
Kevin McHale will do a good job, but I think a younger coach would be better for the long term…
- Justin - May 27, 2011 at 4:49 PM
"McHale has an unimpressive 39-55 record in two half-seasons with the Wolves, but that is without context."
Also note that it was his hand picked coaches he had to fire and players he had to work with. His strong suit is not the X's and O's that much is for sure.
- randysavage4ever - May 27, 2011 at 5:27 PM
How is this an upgrade from Adelman?
- progress2011 - May 27, 2011 at 10:00 PM
It's an upgrade only if he has the influence to persuade All Star caliber players to come play for him. Their roster needs some real work to compete in the West. No one can win, with the current roster. If he can unload Yao and get a quality player in return, his tenure will be off to a good start.
- mogogo1 - May 28, 2011 at 12:03 AM
They've hired him as coach, not GM. He's not going to arrange any trades, he's going to coach the team. And if you take a look back at his track record as GM in Minnesota, you'll see why he hasn't held that job since then.
- mogogo1 - May 27, 2011 at 6:15 PM
It really is kind of comical how the NBA recycles the same guys over and over. McHale is on record as saying he never wanted to coach the T-Wolves and only did so because the ownership insisted. So, what's changed since then?
- progress2011 - May 27, 2011 at 10:02 PM
What has changed…I think it's obvious he is not coaching the T-Wolves and he is coaching the Rockets.

When I first saw his work on design42days I immediately fell in love with Florian Nicolle 's remarkable illustrations. His work employs fast and spontaneous sketching which leaves his drawings with an enticing degree of randomness. His work is a combination of physical art- pens, ink brushes, and watercolor- and digital effects in which he uses a computer to fine tune and add surprising twists and turns. His illustrations transcend artwork into a 'found objects' category. He is a highly skilled artist and we want his artwork on our walls!

Video: 'I would do it again,' says Sac. Wikileaks whistleblower
CARMICHAEL, CA - The notorious computer hacker who alerted authorities to the impending disclosure of tens of thousands of classified documents said that despite death threats, he would do it again.
Adrian Lamo, 29, said U.S. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning contacted him in May seeking help in publicizing a massive "war diary" of classified information regarding the war in Afghanistan. Lamo went to the Pentagon instead to report the breach.
The information eventually turned up Sunday on Wikileaks, a website that publishes anonymous submissions of sensitive information.
Lamo's whistleblowing was an ironic position for a man who has had his own problems with the U.S. government following what he called "an act of conscience."
Lamo was convicted in 2003 of hacking into the New York Times computer network and was placed on probation. Lamo said he broke into the Times' network to expose its vulnerability.
Lamo believes Manning discovered him through his previous anti-establishment activity and his support for Wikileaks.
"I support Wikileaks as an institution," Lamo told News10. "I have for a long time. I've donated money to them. I've evangelized for them."
Lamo believes the U.S. government "overclassifies" sensitive documents, but he saw nothing but harm coming from the Wikileaks publishing military intelligence on U.S. war efforts in Afghanistan.
"(Manning) misused a tool that was intended to help protect, defend, save American lives and the lives of really everybody in the coalition," he said.
Lamo said he had been threatened as a result of the disclosure and insisted that News10 not reveal any identifying information that might help locate him.
"There has been a backlash, as I knew there would be. I didn't really expect the raw hatred, the vitriol," he said.
When asked what he would do if faced with the same set of circumstances in the future, Lamo took a moment before replying, "I would do it again."

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disorder worldwide. OA represents an increasing threat to the quality of life of affected persons as well as for health resources expenditure. The incapability of cartilage to heal has been long time regarded as the major cause of progressive joint degeneration and functional impairment. Recent reports about the presence of progenitor cell populations within adult normal and OA cartilage invite to a reconsideration of the mechanisms involved in the onset and propagation of the disease as well as of the causes that are preventing the endogenous progenitors to recompose a functional extracellular matrix. The interplay between chronic joint inflammation, tissue functional and pathological load and the mechanosensitivity of progenitor cell populations are not yet fully understood. Elucidation of these complex correlations at molecular level could lead to identification of biomarkers for early detection, finding targets for the causal treatment of OA. The use of local progenitor populations in various cartilage regeneration strategies proves to be a fruitful avenue for research and clinical applications.
Biomarkers, mechanosensitivity, osteoarthritis, progenitors, regenerative medicine.

By Corey Sorenson
University of Nebraska at Kearney associate professor Keith Geluso says bats play an important role in the state by devouring mosquitoes and several insect pests that can damage crops.
Geluso says the bat population on the East Coast is dwindling because of a fungus that disrupts the animals' hibernation. If the fungus keeps spreading west, it could reach Nebraska.
Geluso is asking for help identifying locations where five or more bats roost in the state, so he can track populations. Locations of bat roosts can be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 2001 President-elect George W. Bush and his foreign policy team visited the Pentagon Jan. 10 for a briefing from outgoing Defense Secretary William S. Cohen and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Accompanying Bush was Vice President-elect Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary-designee Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State-designee Colin Powell and Adviser for National Security nominee Condoleezza Rice.
Cohen and Army Gen. Henry Shelton, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, met the party at the River Entrance of the Pentagon. They escorted the party to the Joint Chiefs' "Tank," a secure briefing room.
Cohen said he briefed Bush on the overall strategic policies of the U.S. military and the state of DoD. He also told Bush that the budget for DoD has increased and that current projections call for $227 billion more money for defense over the next six years. Cohen, who spoke at the National Press Club later in the day, said the increase shows the importance both parties attach to national defense.
