text:
When I was a graduate student, my supervisor relayed to me the following aphorism: "research mathematicians are people with solutions who are looking for problems." J. Michael Steele's The Cauchy-Schwarz Master Class, a guided tour on discovery of proofs of inequalities, will surely convince its readers of the validity of this tidbit of wisdom.
It must be as difficult to write an engaging book on inequalities as on plumber's wrenches. Hardy, Littlewood and Pólya's famous Inequalities is the case in point: an excellent reference, but hardly readable. Steele's book is so readable and lively, one almost forgets the underlying material, and therein lies Steele's ingenious approach: the book's real subject is the process of building mathematics, with the inequalities simply supplying the context.
As Steele moves the train of thought from the simplest form of Cauchy-Schwarz to Rademacher-Menchoff, the stations en route flash new vistas which are deftly tamed with proofs that echo methods previously used, ideas discussed, tricks presented. The arguments look deceptively simple, and this illusion is reinforced by various "...one may not need long to observe...", " ...we are not likely to need long to think of looking for...", "...after some exploration one does discover...", "...now we seem to be in luck..." and "...this observation almost begs us to ask...". While personally I do not care for this speciosity, I do appreciate its soothing affect on an insecure reader, not to mention its helping hand in keeping the presentation concise.
As The Cauchy-Schwarz Master Class spans about 150 years worth of inequalities (discounting such outliers as AM-GM) whose discovery often required flights of genius and deep intuition, Steele is compelled, and justifiably so, to include historical and biographical digressions introducing the players involved. Frequent and satisfying in the first part of the book, these sadly grow more sparse in later chapters. One also wonders why Schur or Riesz are deemed less deserving of a significant "blurb" than Pólya. Fortunately the chapter notes (relegated to the back of the book) mitigate the discrepancy, and if these were to actually follow the corresponding individual chapters, they could easily carry a greater burden of history, to the book's advantage.
The Cauchy-Schwarz Master Class is focused on proofs, and so is not suitable to the uninitiated. Neither it is appropriate for those requiring applied motivation as justification for a task; here things are done the "Pure Math" way.
Very little beyond series, multivariable calculus and basic complex notation is required to follow the steps of the proofs, but non-trivial mathematical sophistication is necessary to appreciate the grand plans. The "Master Class" declaration unties the author's hands to bring in the necessary concepts without the burden of extensive prior development. It is a credit to J. Michael Steele that he does this in a most non-threatening way possible.
Most senior undergraduates or "Masters+" students would find this a rewarding read. Exercises at the end of each section provide an opportunity for increased challenge, while pursuing some of the concepts further can give the endeavor a greater breadth. The fact that the book includes a section of concise solutions to the exercises makes it an even more attractive educational tool.
The words "Master Class" in the title carry a heavy load. In the music world, master classes usually involve several proficient and self-motivated musicians, and are led by an accomplished performer. There is little doubt that J. Michael Steele is an outstanding expositor, and as such he is justified to assume that his text can serve as a competent leader for a reasonably proficient and motivated student/practitioner of mathematics (or for a small group thereof), undertaking an independent study.
Just as it would not do for two divas to preside over the same master class, it would be rather challenging to teach a (seminar) course with The Cauchy-Schwarz Master Class as a textbook; the flow of text is too tight to serve two masters.
Each of the 14 chapters of the roughly 300 page book is comprised of several theorems stated as problems, each followed by a solution framed as a discussion. [Calling theorems "problems" is a bit peculiar, especially since the book is not trying to be a "problem book" à la those of Paul R. Halmos.] Each chapter ends with a number of exercises (11-12 on average), solutions to which are given at the back. Most of the exercises seem natural and informative.
Chapter abstracts given below are by the reviewer, whereas chapter titles are original.
Overall, this book is a "must have" for a university's library, and I recommend it highly to its "ideal audience." Many other readers are also bound to discover a satisfying number of attractive and less than familiar results. I, for one, have reserved a prominent space for the book on my shelf, and feel quite certain that I will leaf through it time and time again.

Embattled startup LightSquared unveiled on Wednesday a "simple and inexpensive" global positioning system that it says will make GPS units more compatible with the company's planned nationwide wireless network.
LightSquared called the prototype, designed by the GPS company Javad GNSS, a "breakthrough development" that will help the company overcome mounting concerns that the new network could interfere or entirely block GPS.
"This breakthrough is a final step toward LightSquared's goal of building a nationwide wireless network that will bring lower prices and better service to Americans from coast to coast," LightSquared CEO Sanjiv Ahuja said in a statement.
Ahuja has long argued that the interference problems, caused by the proximity of LightSquared's transmissions to the spectrum used by GPS satellites, could be easily solved.
The GPS industry and defense officials who depend on the systems disagree, and Wednesday's announcement did little to win over critics.
"LightSquared has, as usual, oversimplified and greatly overstated the significance of the claims of a single vendor to have 'solved' the interference issue," the Coalition to Save Our GPS, which includes many GPS companies and others that use the system, said in a statement. "There have been many vendor claims that have not proven out in rigorous tests and the demanding tests of marketplace acceptance. Moreover, this is not a one-size-fits-all situation, and a few prototypes does not a solution make."
The coalition welcomed new testing of the prototype, but said LightSquared must assume any costs of making GPS units compatible. LightSquared says it is talking to government officials about the possibility of paying to update federal high-precision GPS devices. The company has no plans to pay for all commercial devices.
But Javad Ashjaee, who developed the LightSquared filter, said that because of changes not caused by LightSquared, all GPS receivers will need to be updated by 2020 anyway.
"The tests conducted so far by the GPS industry did not take into account the GPS modernization plan that is in place," Ashjaee said. "Since we have demonstrated that LightSquared can certainly coexist with the current GPS satellite signals, the coexistence will be even stronger when the new GPS satellites … are launched."
Many in the GPS industry have called for LightSquared to completely abandon its plan to use spectrum near GPS and create a buffer zone. But Ashjaee argued that it is up to the GPS users to separate the transmissions.
"The truth is that high-precision GPS users have a wide range of interference issues to contend with—from congested frequencies to intentional jamming. As LightSquared's spectrum neighbor, it's our obligation to build a wall between our spectrum and LightSquared's. My filter accomplishes that goal."
The filter, which has yet to be reviewed by other GPS or federal officials, will only prevent interference on the spectrum farthest away from GPS, and it is unclear exactly how many kinds of devices it will work with.
The Federal Communications Commission has said it will not allow LightSquared's network to become operational without first resolving the interference issues.
Republicans in Congress, meanwhile, have seized upon reports that LightSquared sought to curry favor with the Obama administration. Several House committees have launched probes of the company's interactions with administration officials.
In a letter to the White House on Tuesday, House lawmakers compared LightSquared to Solyndra, a green-energy company mired in controversy over government loans it received.
While LightSquared hasn't received federal money, members of Congress pointed to allegedly close contact between officials and the company as it sought federal approval.
"As with the LightSquared project, questions about the Solyndra deal include whether Solyndra wasn't scrutinized closely because a major investor in the business was a major fundraiser for the president's 2008 campaign," eight members of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee wrote in the letter. "While some may call it a coincidence, we remain skeptical that shortly after two separate sets of meetings and meeting requests one year apart, LightSquared employees made five-figure donations to the Democratic Party."
In a letter of her own on Wednesday, Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., a top lawmaker on telecom issues, defended LightSquared's plans.
"LightSquared's proposal to build a nationwide terrestrial-based wireless broadband network offers exciting job opportunities for our nation," Eshoo wrote to Larry Strickling, head of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, which has called for more testing of LightSquared's network. "It is well worth the effort to work on interference issues to the nearby GPS band."
In the letter, obtained by National Journal, Eshoo said she believes LightSquared's network can eventually become operational without harming GPS.

1 (16 ounce) package
rotini pasta
1 (16 ounce) bottle
creamy Italian-style salad dressing (such as Ken's Steak House® Creamy Italian Dressing)
1 (6 ounce) can
tuna, drained and flaked
Yes it is a crowd pleaser and it could not be easier. Instead of tuna, I added small cut-up chicken from the grill and 1000 Island Dressing. I wanted to add veggies but I brought it to a pot luck with kids and the kids LOVED it since there was nothing green.
This is a good easy recipe. I added some California mix veggies and thinly sliced onion. Can also use low fat Italian dressing. I also made this with ham and/or chicken.

Most of us become caregivers at some point in our lives – mates help mates,
parents take care of children before aging requires a role reversal, siblings extend
kōkua to each other. And we all do our best to look after aunties, uncles, and other
loved ones in our 'ohana.
The National Alliance for Caregiving estimates that in 2009, 65.7 million people
in 31 percent of American households provided care to loved ones with various disabilities.
Nearly 13 million Americans are also part of the "sandwich generation"
– men and women in the prime of productive work lives who must simultaneously
be responsible for their parents and children – and sometimes their grandchildren,
as well.
In 2011, a "caregiver tsunami" officially began when 79 million baby
boomers started turning 65 – one every eight seconds. For the next two decades,
four million of us face an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease every year,
an always-fatal illness. Five million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's today;
that number is expected to increase to 13.5 million people by 2050. All will need
extensive caregiving, frequently over decades.
No wonder burned-out caregivers – overwhelmingly women – already are
labeled our nation's "hidden patients." Spending a minimum of
20 hours a week dealing with a debilitated loved one's emotional, physical,
financial, and spiritual needs can overwhelm them to the point where they neglect
their own needs. Many caregivers die before their patient.
"When I see a caregiver, the first word that comes out of my mouth is 'respite,'"
says Martin Johnson, Psy.D., founder of the Hawaii Center for Psychology.
"Taking breaks, even a few hours a week, isn't just something nice to
do for themselves, but is essential for them to fulfill their role as caregivers.
"Usually their first reaction is, 'I can't possibly do that.'
The next is, 'nobody can care for him the way I can,'" Johnson
says. "Caregivers suffer guilt, resentment, anger – all of those reactions
are normal and human – and worry about losing patience because they are exhausted,
stressed, and grieving. That is why it is essential that caregivers practice 'self-care'
to keep some semblance of balance."
Johnson tells his patients they must regularly go for walks, to the movies, have
meals out with friends, and spend quiet time alone reading, meditating, exercising,
or "anything that helps them prioritize their needs." He assures them
it is important to their health to find substitute caregivers so they can have a
vacation without responsibility. He tells them there are a multitude of resources
available, both private and public, to help caregivers if they will give themselves
permission to seek help.
June Ching, Ph.D., a past president of the Hawai'i Psychological Association,
says it is easy to establish credibility with her patients because, "I am
a 'sandwich generation' caregiver" who fights their daily battles
along with them. "I understand the stresses and must make an effort to take
care of myself, too.
"I used to think I was resilient and capable, but life now is a constant moving
target," says Ching, who cares for elderly parents as well as her husband
and children. "Every time I think I have it under control, things change.
"Caregiving makes you give up perfectionism; often I just have to say, 'this
is the best I can do,' and let some things go."
According to the American Psychological Association, 63 percent of caregivers are
at a higher risk for depression, illness, and accidents than the general population.

Qualified applicants may also be considered for home ownership through the Rent-to-Own programme.
This Programme was developed as an initiative that would target the lower income segment of society who are unable to service a mortgage. It is hoped that individuals can achieve, on a phased basis, their long term goal of purchasing/acquiring a housing solution.
Under the Programme a beneficiary is allowed to enter into occupation of a mortgage unit under the agreement of a License to Occupy for a period of five (5) years with the option to purchase. At the end of the five years, two thirds of the rental payment will be applied as a deposit towards the purchase of the unit, and the rental tenancy will be converted to mortgage status. If the tenant is still unable to qualify for a mortgage after five (5) years the option will be extended for a further three (3) years.
Where units are maintained by the HDC, during the period of the Agreement, one third of the rent paid will be retained by the HDC to off-set maintenance expenditure. All other charges relevant to the property will be borne by the beneficiary.
How can someone be considered for this programme?
To apply, interested persons must submit an application through the method prescribed under New Home Mortgage.
An applicant's application must first be selected through one of the computerised random selection draws for New Home Mortgage as outlined in previous section under mortgage.
Upon the selection of an application, the applicant will be invited to attend an assessment interview by the HDC, it is ONLY at this stage will consideration be given to the applicant to access a housing unit under the 'Rent-to-Own' option.

Where: Stanford Law School, Moot Court Room (Room 80)
The panel is co-sponsored by the Stanford Center on International Conflict and Negotiation and the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law.
Efforts to bolster economic and private sector development in Palestine are central components to many current efforts to build peace and resolve the conflict. But what do we really know about the relationship between economic development and conflict resolution? What does research, and experience tell us about when economic interventions help reduce conflict, and when they fail? This distinguished panel will offer insights and lessons from Palestine -- with voices from the Palestinian business community, the US government, and academia.
No RSVP necessary.

text: The 2011 Survey of IT Professionals - Outsourcing from Lieberman Software reports attitudes about outsourcing expressed by IT staff in organizations of all size and in different geographic regions. The survey reveals that a surprising 77% of respondents believe that their outsourcers have made up work to earn extra money. It also reports IT professionals' perceptions regarding outsourcing costs versus original expectations. The survey was conducted at RSA Conference 2011 in Las Vegas and InfoSec Europe 2011 in London. Nearly 500 IT professionals were queried. There are numerous IT outsourcers who provide significant value. And it's a fact that qualified outsourcers can bring many organizations into compliance with IT security mandates faster than the organizations can achieve on their own. However, the survey suggests that organizations of any size should proceed with caution when it comes to outsourcing. And businesses that outsource should take a centralized management approach to data protection – in order to give IT management maximum control, with minimal impact on operations and productivity.Lieberman Software offers privileged identity management solutions, including Enterprise Random Password Manager, that provide authoritative audit trails to prove that all personnel – including internal staff, outsourcers, and cloud service provider personnel – follow principles of "least privilege" with respect to privileged access of sensitive data.

Border Collies Protect Scientsts' Research From Geese
By editor
Originally published on Tue May 21, 2013 11:54 am
Good morning. I'm David Greene. Throw me a bone. - that was essentially the message from some frustrated scientists in Canada. They work at an experimental research farm, testing crops like corn and barley. And recently, packs of Canadian geese had been swooping in and destroying the crops. [POST-BROADCAST CORRECTION: The waterfowl were misidentified. They are Canada geese.]
Who you gonna call? The Geese Busters - Jamie and Bella. They're two border collies. The dogs were hired to chase away the geese, and it's been working. The cost for the canine services - 44,000 bucks a year.

Megan Fox shut down all Botox rumors about herself for good yesterday! In what we think is a pretty hilarious move, Megan uploaded an album on her official Facebook page called "Things You Can't Do With Your Face When You Have Botox." She then proceeded to scrunch that gorgeous mug of hers up to show *gaspohnoNOway*… wrinkles! Remember when Teri Hatcher did the same, wrapped in a towel of all things! On a side note — are Meg's eyes really that blue? 'Cause they're just dreamy! Folks, just accept the fact that some people are just weirdly genetically gifted like that. Case closed.

Must be something in air: Crawford County Fair this morning disclosed its second concert for August, while CelebrateErie disclosed its lineup.
Sha Na Na, Bret Michaels and Lonestar will headline CelebrateErie 2013 in August, city of Erie officials announced Friday. Sha Na Na, which will perform on Aug. 16, started in 1969 as a rock revivalist act, mostly playing songs from the 1950s. The group plast performed in Erie in 2008 at Presque Isle Downs & Casino.
Michaels, the Aug. 17 headliner, is best known as the long-time lead singer of glam-metal band Poison, which racked up such hits as "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" and "Talk Dirty to Me." He also became a TV celebrity via "Rock of Love with Bret Michaels" and most recently appeared on the 2013 series, "Celebrity Apprentice."
Michaels was the grand marshal for the Roar on the Shore bike parade in 2009.
Lonestar will perform on Aug. 18 as the event's traditional country closer. The group, led by singer Richie McDonald, has racked up nine No. 1 country hits, including "Amazed," "Smile" and "I'm Already There."
CelebrateErie will kick off Aug. 15 with Taste of Erie in Perry Square and close with Zambelli fireworks following Lonestar's performance on Aug. 18.
Tickets are $44.25 each for seats and $29.95 for grandstand tickets, plus the $5 general admission ticket to the fair. They will go on sale May 20 at 10 a.m. at (800) 585-3737 and online at www.crawfordcountyfair.com.

Band Perry features siblings Kimberly, Neil and Reid. They issued "Pioneer," their second album, in April, led by the single "Better Dig Two," which became their third No. 1 country hit. Their first one, "If I Die Young," was a huge crossover smash, also earning significant airplay on Top 40 stations. Their self-titled debut featured three other big country hits: "All Your Life" (No. 1), "You Lie" (No. 2), and "Postcard from Paris" (No. 6).
Niemann made his initial mark as a songwriter; Garth Brooks recorded three songs that Niemann co-wrote.l Then he broke through with No. 1 hit "Lover Lover."

A recent Harris poll of 2,250 adults reveals a troubling educational trend. When surveyed about their K-12 experience compared to today, far fewer adults believe teachers respect parents (64 percent, down 27 points) or students (61 percent, down 25 points). Similarly, a decreasing percentage of parents (49 percent, down 42 points) and students (31 percent, down 48 points) respect teachers. So what has changed that contributes to these double-digit drops in mutual respect among students, parents and teachers?
To be certain, the current landscape of education is marred by a negative narrative involving teacher preparation, accreditation, standards of learning, school safety, student conduct, choice, parent involvement and a litany of challenges not easily solved. Addressing these challenges from many perspectives has informed and enabled improvements on every front. And yet these same challenges have served to polarize educational stakeholders and galvanize belief systems in a way that has the cumulative effect of eroding trust and respect for K-12 education.
Many parents express concerns about classroom management that does not meet their children's needs, challenging expectations for achievement and attendance, demands for extended learning and a lack of understanding about all that is going on during the school day. Teachers are concerned that parents are insufficiently involved in their children's learning, not "parenting" when it comes to misbehavior, and offer too many excuses for unmet needs. Teachers also say that many students simply are not motivated and willing to accept responsibility for their learning. Students comment that "real" learning begins after school lets out and they have access to their social media devices and other technology supports. These same students cite busywork and irrelevant lessons as the source of apathy and disengagement from instruction.

The New England Patriots have reached an agreement with free agent safety Adrian Wilson, his agent confirmed Friday night via Twitter, Field Yates of ESPN Boston reports.
"Congrats to client @adrian_wilson24 on signing with the New England Patriots!" agent Tory Dandy tweeted.
Xtra Sports 910 in Phoenix first reported the agreement.
Wilson, 33, was released by the Arizona Cardinals earlier this month after 12 seasons with the team. A four-time All-Pro pick, he is one of just six players in NFL history to record at least 25 sacks and 25 interceptions in his career.
Wilson played in 15 games for the Cardinals in 2012, finishing with 54 tackles, one interception and one forced fumble.

Haven't done a hair post in a long while, so I thought I'd do a color series helping you all figure out what color tone would suit you best. First up, blondes!
Do blondes have more fun? Maybe. But it's all in how you flaunt your color! Knowing whether cool or warm colors work for you, your wardrobe color choices, and your make up can make or break your hair color.
So let's start with a little quiz:
1. When I work out my face looks:
A. A little flushed
B. My cheeks are very rosy
C. My face color stays the same
2. My go to make up consists of:
A. Lots of nudes and beige tones
B. Lots of soft pinks and corals
C. Dark reds and burgundy
3. The colors I wear the most are:
A. Neutrals like white, cream, and black
B. Soft pastel colors like light pink, light blue, and yellow
C. Bright colors like red, navy blue, and green
If you're mostly A's:
- You would look best sporting cool or warm blonde colors. Lucky you! The best mix for you would be a cool base with warm low lights. Or a warm base with cool low lights. Pretty much any shade of blonde would match well with your skin tone and look. Examples:
- You would look best with a warm shade of blonde. You gravitate toward warmer colors and a complimentary warm blonde shade would fit perfectly with your style. Try a golden blonde, strawberry blonde, or even a caramel blonde! Examples:
- You would look best with a cool shade of blonde. Anything from an icy platinum, to an ash blonde would mesh well with your look. Cool blondes are the most difficult colors to maintain, but they can really compliment a person with your style. Examples:

The Arab Spring has shown that revolt in one country can rapidly spread to nearby nations who identify with the precursor, and one Arab country after another has witnessed rebellion against decades-old autocracy.
But there is another critical dynamic at play in the collapse of the Arabian ancient regime, and that is the impact of these revolutions on autocracies far away — further even than Iran, which of course has struggled with its own revived domestic uprising.
While the Chinese leadership was perturbed by the Arab uprisings, North Korea's reaction is particularly instructive: reporting on the Arab Spring there is, naturally, forbidden, but Pyongyang has also refused permission for expatriates in Libya and Egypt to return, lest they bring the revolution home. Moreover, Kim, along with his heir apparent, recently visited his personal bodyguard detail, further suggesting he is not taking the Arab Spring lightly. Economic and diplomatic relations between North Korea and Qaddafi were also strong: North Korea provided its ally with weapons to use against his own people, and now, with Qaddafi gone, Pyongyang has lost another friend and economic partner.
Whether the toppling of Arab rulers is ultimately mirrored elsewhere in the world or not, it is clear that the elimination of any autocracy is not only a portal to freedom in that country, but a blow to dictatorship everywhere and a frightening portent for foreign autocrats.

Northern puts away Hillside in PAC-6 showdown
What started out as a see-saw battle turned into a double-digit win for Northern, but scrappy Hillside kept the Knights hustling from start to finish Friday night at Northern.
The lead changed hands 12 times before Northern's Kentrell Barkley hit a jump shot, was fouled on the play and converted the free throw for a 27-24 Northern lead at 3:58 of the second period. The Knights led the rest of the game, by as many as 14 points, before winning it 88-77.
Barkley was one of three Northern players, and five overall, to score 20 or more points during the rapid-fire game, which ended with a blistering 33-31 fourth period edge for the Knights.
Ricky Council II led Northern with 26, followed by Barkley with 24 and Jaquan Harris with 20.
Hillside's Justice Kithcart led all scorers with 29. Teammate Malik Evans pumped in another 23 for the Hornets.
"I thought we finished well, a whole lot of boards at the end. They gave us a run for our money," said Northern coach Ronnie Russell. But overall, he conceded, his team did not establish rebounding dominance.
"I don't think we did real well on the boards. KB (Barkley) did real well on the boards — 14 rebounds and 7 assists," Russell said.
He credited the Hornets with playing a strong game under the glass, especially Evans.
"He's not real big, but he's pretty persistent," Russell said.
"It took us a while to get in the flow of the game. Most of it was because of the pressure they were putting on us," Russell said.
Northern's defense was tenacious, plucking the ball from the hands of the Hornets or intercepting their passes on numerous occasions, while Council and Barkley had a slam-fest.
At 4:13 of the first period Barkley rejected a shot by Kithcart and passed it to Council, who went end-to-end for a layup.
Barkley took a pass from Emmett Tilley at :36 of the first period and jammed it home. He slam-dunked another after T.J. Crutchfield stole the ball and dished off to him at 2:08 of the second period.
Council slammed home three dunks — at 6:11 of the first period, off his own steal at 3:37 of the second period, and off a steal and pass by Barkley with 15 seconds remaining in the third period.
The Knights were able to pass inside for numerous scores, often on multiple passes timed to perfection and hitting the man cutting inside or out.
"That's why we finished so well, passing the ball and distributing," Russell said. "That's one of our strengths."
Hillside had some big defensive plays as well.
On back-to-back Northern possessions midway through the third period Evans blocked a shot by Barkley and Robert Robinson Jr. blocked a shot by Council, setting up a 3-pointer by Hillside's Jarrod France. That narrowed the lead to 48-44 at 2:33, the closest the Hornets would get the rest of the game.
Northern 88, Hillside 77
(Boys' Game)
Hillside 17 13 16 31 — 77
Northern 19 19 17 33 — 88
HILLSIDE — Justice Kithcart 29, Malik Evans 23, Robert Robinson Jr. 11, Jarrod France 8, Trevion Thompson 6.
NORTHERN — Ricky Council II 26, Kentrell Barkley 24, Jaquan Harris 20, Dillon Leovic 8, T.J. Crutchfield 7, Emmett Tilley 3.
Records—Hillside 10-10, 3-5 PAC-6 4-A; Northern 20-2, 7-1 PAC-6.
Hillside 74, Northern 45
(Girls' Game)
Hillside 28 19 16 11 — 74
Northern 10 18 6 11 — 45
HILLSIDE — Zuri White 18 (5 rebounds), Elisia Grissett 13 (3 assists), Mya Webb 10, Tykyrah Williams 8 (3 assists), Justine Lyon 8, Jakelbi Lewis 6 (6 assists), Amanda Lawrence 5 (6 rebounds), Khara Herring 4, Kirsten Smith 2.
NORTHERN — Rhianna Council 18 (6 rebounds), Auquria McIntyre 10 (6 rebounds), Madison Taylor 6, Kolby Snipes 6, Jza'Quashia Chavis 5 (2 steals), Megan Pleasants 0 (5 rebounds, 3 assists), Remy Simmons 0 (5 rebounds).
Records — Hillside 16-5, 7-1 PAC-6 4-A; Northern 9-9, 3-4 PAC-6.

Major League Baseballs Hall of Fame ballots came out this week.
Tainted home run king Barry Bonds, stained 600-homer club member Sammy Sosa (who also got caught using a corked bat), Rafael Palmeiro of the 3,000 hits and 500-plus home runs, and Roger Clemens are all on the ballot.
Until now, entry into baseballs hallowed hall has been largely stat based, and shy on the whole character and integrity portion of the nomination consideration. This year the pendulum may swing the other way and those with less than impressive Hall of Fame stats might garner more votes than Bonds and his blasphemous brethren.
Guys like Dale Murphy or Fred McGriff or Don Mattingly, or maybe Jack Morris, might finally get a better look.
Craig Biggio is a shoo-in. A 3,000-hits man and an all-star at three positions, he went the Cal Ripken and Chipper Jones route by playing his entire career with one team, the Houston Astros.
Mark McGwire is on the ballot again but in his four previous tries hes never reached the 25-percentile in vote accumulation. He tallied 19 percent in 2011. I dont see a sudden groundswell of affection for Big Mac any time soon. I dont expect much for Bonds, Sosa, Palmeiro or Clemens either.
The Rocket may make this a moot point if he continues his big league comeback effort in 2013. If he pitches an inning in the big leagues hes ineligible for another five seasons, which actually might be the smart move. Who knows what the baseball worlds attitude might be in 2017?
Biggio might be the only one picked this year, though Id like to see Morris and Murphy get the nod. Jack Morris was the Abbott to Bert Blylevens Costello in terms of Hall of Fame near misses, and Blyleven finally got in.
Maybe this is Jacks year.
But it begs asking the eternal question, how do you keep your all-time home run king in Bonds and your all-time hits king in Pete Rose out of the Hall of Fame? Thats like trying to perform a wedding without the groom and best man. You have two empty spaces where Bonds and Rose, characteristically deserving or not, statistically should be.
They are number one.
How can you not vote them in?
I worry for Pete Rose. Hes in his 70s now and all bets are off at this point. He could live to be 90 or he could die tomorrow, and if youre not going to grant him entry into Cooperstown while hes alive, dont do it once hes passed on.
You need to look no further than Ron Santo to see what kind of travesty that would turn out to be.
Next year Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Bobby Cox appear on the ballot for the first time. They should negate any sentiment for the Roids Gallery in that it would be a stretch to think all three would make it in on the first ballot.
I hope they do.
For now, the BBWAA voters have a conundrum on their hands. For whom do you vote?
I say if you vote one in they all should go in. Or leave them all out.
Im afraid, for Pete Roses sake, the pendulum favors the latter.
Maybe somebody might finally wise up and forgive Shoeless Joe Jackson. Nope sorry, reindeer will fly first.
And thats a shame.

Thinking of buying Iron Cobras.
I've just read several topics on Double Pedals and Iron Cobras really sort out from the others. Are they that good? I mostly play rock (Styx, Led Zeppelin, The Who) and some light metal like Mettalica.
I've only been looking for double pedals for like 10 minutes (I'm tired of my 20 years old used crappy Yamaha double pedal my teacher gave me) and all I hear is Iron Cobras or DW.
Are there more than one kind of Iron Cobras?
I need help because all they have at my music store is like 3 pedals that I don't really like
Iron Cobras seems like a good choice since they are cheap and have a good durability.
Anyway, thanks for any help/tips/recommendations and sorry for my english!
Re: Thinking of buying Iron Cobras.
Well, the best thing you can do is play them. As you said, your store only carries a few. Before dropping a large amount of money on an incredibly important investment like a pedal, it might be worth your time to drive an hour away if there are any other stores.
If not, all you can really go by is reviews and advice, which of course is why you're here. I'll start out by saying that ICs, DWs, and eliminators are all very similar. However, i've noticed that ICs have a lot more negative reviews than anything by Pearl or DW.
Now, DWs are great, obviously, and you have a few options to choose from here. Same with pearl, although they now offer the Demon Drive, if you can afford that.
Mostly, though, try not to leave out any direct drive pedals. pedals by the aforementioned companies (with the exception of the demon drive) are all driven by chains, belts, straps, etc.
So dont forget to look at Axis, trick, yamaha flying dragons, et al.
The reason I say this is because I used to own a DW5000 and loved it, but played an axis.
I now own an axis pedal, and sold the DW. I do not play double (the DW was actually a 5002 and i moved down to a single axis) but I always say if I ever want to play double again it will be an axis, or direct drive over time with new companies and products etc.
Re: Thinking of buying Iron Cobras.
Oh, I'm a little confused can you tell me what are those are:
direct drive pedals
yamaha flying dragons
et al
Thx for your help! :D
Re: Thinking of buying Iron Cobras.
When you are an informed buyer or seller, you'll make the best decisions for the most important purchases.---Real Estate jargon that applies.
So, if you're going to play drums for more than 10 min of your life, your best approach is to learn all you can about the gear. If you don't even know what you like for lack of experience, then you need to start somewhere and iron Cobra is a good place to start.
Buy used. Quality bass drum pedals these days don't wear-out that quickly and IC's less than DW's. You can pick-up a used IC for a reasonable price.
Clean it, take care of it. You'll get to know all it can do and how it feels. In 6 months- year you can easily sell it for close to what you paid for it, maybe even more.
Until you know exactly what you want in a pedal, just approach the used market as a leasing game. get your feet on as many pedals as you can. You're basically 'renting' pedals to find one that works for you.
So in a 6 months to a year you loose $20 on the sale. Look at it like you 'rented' the pedal for a year for $20, something you can't do in reality and a pretty good deal actually.
Jump in, the waters great. You have to find your own pedal, no one can do it for you.
Re: Thinking of buying Iron Cobras.
Btw, this is a direct drive of a kick pedal:
Re: Thinking of buying Iron Cobras.
Good posts, anyone else willing to help me out?
Re: Thinking of buying Iron Cobras.
There are probably more posts about bass drum pedals than any other subject. Thta is why you will only get a few comments.
Find the search button above and start reading.
I have an IC and I love it. I tried them all but the IC was the right price/value/quality/feel for me. But like all things, it's a personal decision.
Re: Thinking of buying Iron Cobras.
Bass drum pedals are a very personal side of playing the drums, even more personal are the way you set the pedal up to achieve it's utmost playability. I have Iron Cobra Power Glide and Rolling Glide pedals, along with Pearl Eliminators, Yamaha Flying Dragons and Trick Pro 1 V's. Each pedal has a slightly different feel and all are quite durable and personalizable in terms of the adjustments that can be made. The best way and only way in my opinion, is to try them out in person. I could recommend a pedal I like and you might just hate it, not because of the pedal itself, but for the way you have it set up.
Just play everyone you can get your foot on.

Celebs are heading to Cannes, Amanda is headed back from Turks & Caicos, and I am parked right here, per usual, ready to begin your tour of the best celebrity handbags we've seen in the last oh so many days, right on schedule.
Celebrity Style and Fashion(Page 4)
A few months ago, Dior announced that Rihanna would be the brand's newest face, and the brand's first black campaign star of all time. Yesterday, the first images from the pop superstar's campaign hit the Internet, and they're gorgeous.
Rihanna's campaign is for the new Christian Dior Diorama Bag, and the images, shot by Steven Klein, are centered around a secret garden theme.
Our metaphorical cup runneth over with celebrity handbags. We're still sorting through pics from the hours preceding the Met Ball, and people's pre-Ball handbags were sometimes more interesting than what they wore later that evening. And yes, you're right, the Met Ball was last week, but there was so much to look at that we thought a tour through the pre-party looks we missed might be in order, plus some top-notch celebrity looks from the past few days.
I'm only exaggerating a little. There are technically no children in this celeb roundup (wherefore art thou, Kiernan Shipka?), but Hermès is the undisputed favorite this week. Everyone who wasn't at the Met Ball was apparently on their way home from Morocco following David Beckham's lavish, three-day 40th birthday celebration last week.
The powers of the paparazzi are myriad. They have a strange ability to transform a "normal" person into an instant celebrity via their unwanted attention. (It's happening again this week to the sister of someone you already know and love.) They can always recognize Lady Gaga in all of her various disguises.
As you likely know by now, this Sunday is Mother's Day, and we're celebrating moms all week. We've already covered real life gift-giving and iconic TV moms, and today, we're here to take a look at how real life moms wear their designer bags.
You've likely seen plenty of coverage of the dresses stars wore on the red carpet at last night's Chine-themed Met Ball, but now, we're here to do what we do best: look at bags. Sometimes formal events don't yield a great selection of accessories, but last night's clutch choices could scarcely have been better.
Lots of things inform our cultural perceptions of motherhood, what it means and what it looks like, but TV is, by far, one of the most effective. If you're around my age, you probably grew up with Roseanne, Peggy Bundy and Lorelai Gilmore on your televisions, with occasional detours to Nick at Night to watch Carol Brady, June Cleaver and Morticia Addams.
Is it possible that the Givenchy Antigona is just as omnipresent in the celebuverse as the Chanel Flap or the Hermès Birkin? I think that statement might be true, as of this week. The jury's still out on the rest of the month.

Video:How to Crochet: Weaving in Endswith Yvonne
Weaving in the end of your crochet material helps secure your entire project. In this video from About.com, get a demonstration of how to weave in ends in crochet.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Crochet: Weaving in Ends
Hi my name is Yvonne, and I'm here with About.com to demonstrate how to weave in your ends.
How to Weave in Ends in Crochet
The object of weaving in your ends or tails on your project is to make the finish neat and complete, and what is especially important is to weave in the tails so they are not seen through the other color. You will need a finished project, a tapestry needle, this is a blunt bent end but a blunt straight end will suffice. And a needle threader. This one has room for thicker worsted weight yarn and this one has room for thread. I will start threading through the needle threader to help me thread my needle. And just pull that through.
I want to secure the tail and I want to weave it within the same color so it won't so much show through the green. The best bet is to stick with the same color. In trying to weave at least a six-inch tail for your projects. If you leave it too short, it could wiggle itself back out in the process of washing and being used and just being loved by the person that you're giving the gift to.
Things to Remember when Weaving in the End of Your Yarn
And it's basically sewing but you want to be careful when you're picking up the strands of yarn not to split them. And pretty much hide them within the direction of the yarn or the stitch itself. As far as you can and then when you got to pretty much the end of your tail, pull it just taught just a little, snip it, and then it will go back in on itself and hide very nicely for you.
Now I just worked on here is the tail I worked on across these two shells, and there should be no disruption in the pattern on these two. And now I'll do something in the green. And when at all possible work into the back of your stitches, if you look at the green shells show on the front side, so I want to weave the green into the back side of the stitch of the shell. And again whenever you're weaving try not to split the yarn like I just did and if you do, just go back through it and try to stay within the confines of the stitch. Follow along the direction of the stitch. And you can zigzag up and down, back and fourth. Whatever makes it work neatly. So I've woven it in and again there should be no distortion to the front side of the stitch.
And that is how you weave in your tails. Thanks for watching. To learn more please visit About.com

West Ham defender George McCartney is unlikely to play again this season after he suffered another serious knee injury in the 3-1 win over West Brom.
McCartney came off the bench in the 78th minute to make his first appearance since suffering medial ligament damage in his knee four months ago.
The full-back hobbled off minutes later, though, after suffering the same injury.
"I would have thought (he will miss the rest of the season)," manager Sam Allardyce said in his post-match press conference.
"It's a recurrence of the same injury, his medial ligaments, which is a very big disappointment for him and for us.
"We are disappointed for him because he has waited so long to get back, and get on the pitch.
"We thought we would give him a run out and give the lads who had done so well a rest, but sadly he went down with the same injury."
Andy Carroll scored twice and Gary O'Neil also got on the scoresheet as West Ham romped to a morale-boosting victory over the Baggies, who grabbed a consolation penalty through Graham Dorrans late on.

October I attended the Scholastic F.A.C.E. symposium. I would like to start this blog entry by saying "thank you" to all of those who attended and for all the positive feedback, comments, and conversations that I had at the symposium and afterwards. I really enjoyed the session. Every time I see the Beyond the Bricks, it seems a little different. Whenever I see the documentary I start to tear and I am reminded of my personal struggles, and the victories that happened as a result of them. I know that the struggles of my past are not the last that I will face. Not only was I able to celebrate my victories alone, I got to celebrate them with everyone that attended. I was once told two things by someone I consider wise: "Don't forget to celebrate the small wins" and "include others as much as possible." I feel as though I was able to accomplish both at the symposium. I look forward to future screenings, and symposiums.
My hope is that my story will continue to inspire others and function as a call to action and service. I see the change that is happening as a result of the documentary. While I feel that it is changing lives and inspiring people, I believe that there is yet more to be done. To get a person fired up is just one part of the equation. The more important part of the equation is what is that person (you) doing when you get home or in the immediate hours following the film, and looking to the future. Do you ask yourself the question "what must I do, or what can I do?" After watching the documentary several times I chose to devote a year my life to service. Not just service, but service that directly affects the lives of children.
In my last entry I promised to post my "i serve" statement, so here it is… I serve because I believe in service to a cause greater than one's self. I serve because I believe in the power of young people. I believe in the Swahili philosophy of Ubuntu, which means I am who I am because of who you are. I serve because I believe in City Year's founding story and principle of "moccasins," which is belief in empathy and understanding, one that advocates a non-judgmental outlook, and facilitates the creation of middle ground while still remembering the human aspect. As young people we often forget that we have the power to do anything that is our hearts desire. We sometimes lack the knowledge to unlock the potential that is already inside us. As a corps member, I have a unique opportunity to use my story and life to impact youth. I strongly believe in these principles. And I know that I would not be the same if it were not for certain people who I have met over the years, like the Reddicks of Renaissance Church of Newark, Derek Koen and Ouida Washington of Washington Koen Media Productions, and the Vivian Flowers of this world. I believe it would have been less challenging for me to go to college, graduate, and get a job in corporate America. Instead, I feel that it sends a more impactful statement about a person who is willing to drop what they are doing for a year of service. My hope is that by reminding myself of these values daily I will become a better corps member, person, and leader.

Descripción (El texto procesado por OCR puede contener errores)
Jan. 15, 1963 J. BOWE 3,073,262
SPINNER HEAD FOR CANDY COTTON MACHINE Filed Aug. 16, 1961 INVENTOR.
JOHN BOWE 3 h m whmv ATTORNEYS United States Patent 3,073,262 SPINNER HEAD FOR CANDY COTTON MACHTNE John Bowe, 29 Maple St., Salisbury, Mass. Filed Aug. 16, 1961, Ser. No. 131,782 3 Claims. (Cl. 1078) This invention relates to a multiple spinner head for a candy cotton machine that spins molten sugar into fine filaments to be gathered on a paper cone and eaten. A machine of this type is shown and described in US. Patent No. 1,489,342. The machine spins a cylindrical head at high speed about a vertical axis. Heating elements are within the head to melt the sugar which is next to the apertured wall of the head so that the melted sugar is flung out in very fine filaments which congeal immediately after they escape from the head. Coloring matter is customarily used with the sugar to add to the attractiveness of the candy cotton which is produced by the machine. Multiple spinner heads comprising two or more cylinders one over the other have been used, but if different colors are used in the several cylinders it has been neceessary to activate the heaters in them one at a time to avoid mixing the colors. It is an object of the present invention to provide a double spinner head both cylinders of which can be operated simultaneously with little or no intermingling of the filaments therefrom. For this purpose I mount the two cylinders of the spinner head with a small space between them and discharge radially from that space a flat stream of air that issues in all directions in a horizontal plane. This stream keeps the sugar filaments from each cylinder separate from the filaments from the other. If additional cylinders are employed, air discharge is provided between each cylinder and the next one to it.
For a more complete understanding of the invention reference may be had to the following description thereof, and to the drawing which shows an elevational view of a double spinner head embodying the invention, a portion being broken away to show interior parts.
The head comprisse an upper cylinder and a lower cylinder 12 coaxially mounted on a vertical shaft 14. Each cylinder has a perforated side wall 16 against the inner surface of which is a heating unit 18 which may consist of a helical coil of resistance wire surrounded by insulation and encased in a metal sheath, both the wire "ice and the sheath having sufficiently high melting points to prevent fusing during operation. This type of heating unit is well-known and widely used.
The cylinders 10 and 12 are held in assembled relation by any suitable means such as a series of vertical tie rods 20 uniformly spaced from one another to preserve a dynamic balance which is necessary for the high rotational speeds at which the head is operated. Each rod is held by a top nut 22 and a bottom nut 24 threaded onto the ends thereof, and a spacer sleeve 26 is fitted on each rod between the two cylinders.
In the space between the cylinders are symmetrically arranged vanes 30 which are angled to sweep air outward from the head as the head rotates. To supply air near the hub of the head to replace that which is swept out, two or more symmetrically arranged tubes 32 are run vertically through one or the other of the cylinders to open into the space between the cylinders. As shown, two tubes 32 extend up from below the lower cylinder 12 and end flush with the top thereof. The lower end of each tube 32 is preferably beveled as at 34 with the opening at the end facing the direction of motion to promote the flow of air through the tube when the head is rotating.
I claim:
1. In a candy cotton spinning machine, a multiple spinner head comprising two perforated cylinders coaxially mounted to rotate about a vertical axis and vertically spaced, and a plurality of tubes extending vertically through one of said cylinders, each said tube having one end opening into the space between the cylinders.
2. In a candy cotton spinning machine, a multiple spinner head comprising two perforated cylinders coaxially mounted to rotate about a vertical axis and vertically spaced, the lower of said cylinders having two vertical tubes extending up therethrough from below and opening into the space between the cylinders, the lower ends of said tubes being beveled.
3. Apparatus as described in claim 1, said head having a plurality of vanes between said cylinders arranged to sweep air radially outward from the space between the cylinders.

Re: Joey Jordison
You know, with this BEING MUSICAL thing... I think that it comes from the fact that most of people connect music with sound other than "flap", and that's how Joeys set sound. 127 drums, and every single one of them sounding the same way. I don't want it to look like criticising his playing. It's just about the fact, that generally kits used to play more subtle music, generate a sound which is more pleasant to hear. It's biological, it's organic. Even if you don't like jazz, your ears like it :). And if being musical is about soul, well... I think we should ask some native Ethiopian what does he think about Joey. He probably would know much more about soul than every single one of us. And let's be honest. A jazz player can play being 60, 70, 80 years old. There's no chance Joey would survive that long playing Slipknot-style music.

Getting to know the candidates
Thursday, November 15, 2007
Yesterday Senator Obama became the latest U.S. presidential candidate to visit Google headquarters in Mountain View for a talk and then Q&A. We're heartened to see how most every candidate is taking full advantage of the Internet, by making good use of YouTube together with their own websites, blogs and social networks to inform voters of their positions and share more of their thinking than traditional campaigns ever allowed.
The next big event we're looking forward to is the November 28 CNN/YouTube Republican debate. Stay tuned for that, and if you'd like to watch the talks other candidates have given at Google, here they are.

Thanks, Spidey! I CANNOT WAIT!

http://youtu.be/CUkvuE67sL0the soundover guy sounds like the old 70 shockers-on beta max tape promo adverts
first one was great- cringed through a couple of episodes.
I'm very excited that Chloe Sevigny (sp?) is in it. I think she does so well at playing creepy!
I need to hear people's thoughts on this season because so far I am not so pleased.
Doesn't start here until Tuesday night, so I will report back then! :wink2:
I am a huge fan of the show. I liked the first season a lot better than what I am watching so far, but it is still enjoyable. I really hope it ties all the loose ends of the season up in a nice big bow before it ends. Especially the little green men.
I enjoyed the first season very much.This season...no. I watched the first three episodes and just couldn't get into it. I am far from being a prude but, the first episode had some very explicit sex scenes in the first ... what? ten minutes? (My son and I tried to watch it together but it was very uncomfortable and we just turned it off. We tried to watch it separately and we just couldn't get into it.)
From what I have read about season 3...I may give it a an episode or three. If it doesn't work for me, I'll just let it go.
