Networks Cheer: 'The Check Is in the Mail,' 'Cash Is on the Way'
ThereŌĆÖs an old saying ŌĆō ŌĆ£Congress never touches anything they donŌĆÖt hurt,ŌĆØ but you would never know that might be the case by the glowing reception the $150-billion taxpayer-funded stimulus plan got from each of the network newscasts last night.
ŌĆ£Cash is on the way,ŌĆØ ABCŌĆÖs ŌĆ£World NewsŌĆØ anchor Charles Gibson said. ŌĆ£The check is in the mail, or it will be to 117 million Americans. The president and congressional leaders reached agreement on a $150 billion economic stimulus package today. When passed by Congress, the package will result in the distribution of $100 billion to individuals and families. And it will mean businesses will get $50 billion in tax breaks.ŌĆØ
All that sounds great, except that some people who pay taxes wonŌĆÖt get a rebate and many of those who donŌĆÖt pay taxes at all will get a rebate.
ŌĆ£Those checks are the centerpiece of the $150-billion package, $600 for individuals, $1,200 for working couples plus $300 for each child,ŌĆØ NBC correspondent John Yang on the January 24 ŌĆ£Nightly News.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£The rebates would phase out for individuals making more than $75,000 a year and couples earning more than $150,000. And workers who earn so little they don't pay any income taxes would still get cash, $300, as long as they earned at least $3,000 last year.ŌĆØ
But money given to non-taxpayers has to come from somewhere ŌĆō and as many economists have pointed out, that wealth-redistribution characteristic is a reason why this package isnŌĆÖt a good ŌĆ£stimulus.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£A stimulus bill is not the place to expand government interference in the economy, bail out banks that make bad loans, or pile on unrelated new spending,ŌĆØ wrote Rea S. Hederman, Jr., assistant director and senior policy analyst in the Center for Data Analysis at The Heritage Foundation. ŌĆ£While a tax rebate may be inevitable at this point, the public should recognize that this rebate is poorly targeted and would not have a significant effect on the economy.ŌĆØ
CBSŌĆÖs Katie Couric and NBCŌĆÖs Brian Williams also welcomed the news, touting it as a ŌĆ£bipartisanŌĆØ effort and treating that as a net positive.
ŌĆ£Well, itŌĆÖs not quite a done deal yet, but it looks like many of you will be getting a rebate check from Uncle Sam,ŌĆØ Couric said on the January 24 ŌĆ£Evening News.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£In the biggest show of bipartisanship since 9/11, President Bush and the House leadership reached agreement today on an economic stimulus package.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£[T]he threat of a recession in this country is just dire enough to have brought both parties together in Washington,ŌĆØ Williams said on the January 24 ŌĆ£Nightly News.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖve put together what is called a stimulus package and that means over the next few months most of the people watching this broadcast tonight will get a check in the mail. Now, itŌĆÖs what Americans choose to do with that money that will then affect the U.S. economy or not.ŌĆØ
None of the networks attempted to explain where this $100 billion in checks will come from. Instead, they chose to focus on other areas of concern. One concern was how Americans would spend their rebates: whether people might do something responsible ŌĆō save the money or pay down debt ŌĆō or if they will just spend it, which is what is reported to be the best way to ŌĆ£stimulateŌĆØ the economy.
ŌĆ£Economists we spoke to today said this isn't a perfect plan, but itŌĆÖs a good enough plan. And if it can be enacted as quickly as it was negotiated, it could make the difference between a slowdown and a recession, or a short recession and a long one,ŌĆØ ABC correspondent Betsy Stark said on the January 24 ŌĆ£World News.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Economists say Americans who use their rebate checks to pay bills or to save or invest may help themselves, but they won't be helping the economy.ŌĆØ
Whether recipients spend or save their checks, however, economists like Dr. Don Boudreaux have explained that ŌĆ£government cannot create genuine spending power; the most it can do is to transfer it from Smith to Jones.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Spending power is not so much the fuel for economic growth as it is the reward,ŌĆØ wrote Boudreaux, chairman of the George Mason University economics department and a BMI adviser. ŌĆ£And the key to economic growth is investment that raises worker productivity.ŌĆØ
The other media concern was how soon the government would act so that the checks could be cut.
ŌĆ£The Treasury secretary said that if Congress acts quickly and if all goes well, the checks could be in the mail by May,ŌĆØ Yang said on ŌĆ£Nightly News.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Some economists say that could be too late for aid that could be too little.ŌĆØ
Prior to the unveiling of this stimulus proposal, critics in the media were worried about who these rebates would go to. Matt Lauer, co-host of NBCŌĆÖs ŌĆ£TodayŌĆØ was worried the ŌĆ£richŌĆØ would get a cut.
ŌĆ£All right, but youŌĆÖre not going to give rebates to the rich here, correct?ŌĆØ Lauer asked Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson on the January 18 ŌĆ£Today.ŌĆØ

Read Poems by
Stephen Kilmer
Cold dark wind
Upon my face
The weathers
Turning bad
Black blizzard
On the horizon
The devils up
My sleeve
Starched memories
And fish hooks
I turned my back
On society
Bent upon a dream
Frozen bamboo
Across my legs
Toes that hardly
Sleeting now
In this boat
Afloat upon a field
Left by O'Toole's
Machinery and mill
Gobbling up arms
And legs
Baled all nice and neat
It's so damn cold
I can't feel my feet
Ankles, knees, and armory
A stinking IED
Crawling back to you
Schoolboy's stupid schemes
A war that never killed
It just left me maimed
This desert storm
Left me all alone
Drunken and stoned.

Resort Station 3 is located in the Resort Area of Anaheim at 1717 S. Clementine. It was rebuilt as part of the Interstate 5 widening project and opened in 1998. Station 3's "first-in" area contains a number of high-rise hotels, both sprinklered and non-sprinklered. It also serves some of the most popular tourist attractions in the world, Disneyland Park, Disney's California Adventure and Downtown Disney. The population swells during the summer due to the influx of tourists, posing a considerable traffic problem for responding emergency units, as well as adding to the volume of E.M.S. incidents.

Festival Fun at the Hop Farmwritten by kylewis on 2011-01-17 in #world #locations
A little visual recollection of the Hop Farm Music Festival in Kent, not so well known yet but showing some serious promise. The Hop Farm Music Festival takes place in a 90-acre field just outside of Paddock Wood Kent in the South East of England. It came about because the general feeling was that people were a bit sick of over branding and they really wanted a smaller scale gig that was about music and not sponsorship and brands. There is no special treatment there and children are welcome - and those under 12 years of age get in for FREE!14 24 Share Tweet

What to wear for hot summer nights
Summer brings along fun as well as hot and sultry days and nights. Having a good night's sleep in summers can be tough especially if you don't have the right kind of nightwear in your wardrobe. Wearing breathable clothes at night will not only help you have a great sleep but it will also make you feel more relaxed. When you wear light clothing items at night, you don't feel confined. There are many more factors which affect your night's sleep. Here are some tips which will help you sleep like a baby every night.
Have a light dinner
Eat a light to moderate meal at night. You must have your dinner at least three hours before going to bed. This helps your stomach digest the food completely. The human digestive system slows down at night and heavy meals will remain in your stomach. This kind of dinner will interfere with your sound sleep.
Choose right sleep wear
You can choose comfortable nylon sleep wear for a good sleep. You can check out the 2-pack nightgown by Only Necessities. This pack comes with two one piece silky tricot nightgowns. They are shirred for roomy ease. These washable nylon gowns are 44 inches long. You can go for a two piece Shadowline night wear. This set is made from cool Opacitique nylon. It gives you a gently flowing fit. Featuring delicate floral embroidery and scalloped neckline, the top of this set allows you to move easily. Its pajamas feature a button-front top and elastic-waist. You can choose a peach, purple, sapphire, periwinkle, red, seafoam, pink or rose Shadowline nightwear. Oscar de la Renta sleepwear will be an ideal choice if you want to go for a sexier option. Featuring floral lace all over, this sensuous one piece nightwear comes with a pleated lace hem. It also features a tonal under layer and a center bow. This fully lined nylon sleep wear features tiny ruffles at its neckline. You can also check out some very light and affordable cotton nightgowns from Dreams & Co. and Ulla Popken.

GoGrid pushes ahead with new Intel-based technology, specifically, the new Intel Xeon Processor 5600 series, code named "Westmere".
The following Press Release was distributed today:
GoGrid Announces Cloud Services Powered by New Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 series
The 32-nm processor provides an incredible 50% savings in power consumption
San Francisco, CA – June 15, 2010 – Today GoGrid, a leading cloud infrastructure hosting provider, announced they will be deploying cloud services based on the powerful new Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 series, formerly codenamed "Westmere".
GoGrid cloud services have always provided superior CPU performance, which means faster response times and improved productivity for our customers," said John Keagy, GoGrid CEO. "With the latest Intel Xeon processor technology, we will be able to deliver an even better experience to our customers at a lower cost."
Last year, Intel and GoGrid formally began collaborating to optimize platform selection, performance and energy efficiency to meet the emerging needs of their customers. "With the Intel Xeon Processor 5600 series, we get far more performance with significantly less power usage," said Paul Lappas, GoGrid VP engineering.
The Intel Xeon 5600 processor series will enable a dramatic power savings resulting in about a 50% reduction in energy consumption as compared to previous configuration. In addition, the higher performance of Xeon 5600 processors within the GoGrid node infrastructure allows supporting more customers and thus a 30% reduction in the cost-of-goods of server hardware.
I applaud GoGrid's rapid deployment of this technology, and believe customers will value the enhanced user experience and the energy savings that the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series enables," said Jason Waxman, General Manager of High Density Servers at Intel.
New GoGrid nodes running with the new Intel Xeon Processor 5600 series will be implemented in the third quarter of 2010 and will be available to GoGrid customers shortly thereafter.

An Interview With Mark Jones (02)
by Meik Skoss
Aikido Journal #101 (1994)
In part 2, the chief instructor of Traditional Aikido of Napa discusses some of the moral and ethical issues that arise from training in the martial arts.
Your students are exposed to quite a variety of weapons. Have any of these people trained in other martial arts as well?
Some of them have trained in t'ai chi, and one of my Katori students is a nidan in tae kwon do. Hans Goto has trained in a number of different arts, for example Chinese wushu, in addition to aikido for many years. Jay Calendar, who's a sandan, is also now a shodan in jujutsu. He used to be a judo competitor.
You say jujutsu shodan, is that the Danzan-ryu?
I think it's the Danzan-ryu. It's up in Santa Rosa. Do you know a fellow named Robert Hudson? He comes a long way to practice Katori with me on weekends. During the week there's no aikido dojo close by, so he also took up jujutsu, to kind of fill in that need. Of course, he also does massage and they teach restorative arts. I sometimes wish that aikido also incorporated the restorative arts in its training along with teaching better attacks. I think that would, in some ways, make a more complete art.
You think aikido would benefit from both stronger attacking techniques, and from the inclusion of resuscitation and healing techniques?
In many ways we probably don't need it as much as other arts, because we're not really competing so much, although there does tend to be a lot of personal competition on certain levels within some dojos, or from dojo to dojo, especially in Japan.
You feel that there is more of that in Japan?
From my experience.
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
In a competitive art where you have two people going against each other who are equally matched and they are resisting each other, I think the chance that they are going to hurt each other is much greater than in aikido, where two people are working with each other, or in Katori where two people are working with each other.
Do you think so?
Well, from what I have seen. I have seen judo dojos where people are taped up from head to toe, and every day people are getting injured. In my philosophy of training, if you injure someone, you are not accomplishing anything that is any good. If I injure you, and you can't train, then who's getting the benefit? I think we should train as hard as we can, but I also think we shouldn't hurt people.
I think that when you are training in something like judo or sumo, it's an all out thing, and there's not as much margin for safety in one sense, but in terms of egregious, really unnecessary, egotistical injury, I think personally, based on my experience both here in Japan and in the United States, that there is more abuse in aikido than in any other art I've seen. I'll say that categorically-I've been on both sides of the equation. I think that in judo, because you are working all out you get certain kinds of injuries, but they're not intentional. You also find certain injuries in karate, depending on the dojo. But, in Japan, in my karate dojo, there was absolutely nowhere near the number of injuries that you'd get in an aikido dojo-and my karate dojo is a hard-core Okinawan karate, taught as bujutsu. There is no abuse that I have seen.
I tend to agree with you. Most of the dojos that I have been to follow the principles of aiki. But you do get individuals now and then who, though they are really nice off the mat, on the mat are entirely different and they injure people. They'll take a beginner who doesn't even know how to slap yet and continue pushing until their partner is in tears. There's just no reason for it If you are adhering to the principles of aikido you don't injure people.
I would extend that to say the principles of budo.
Yes, I agree. I think all real budo strives to avoid any kind of fight. Gichin Funakoshi, who brought karate to Japan from Okinawa, would walk miles out of his way just to avoid a confrontation. Kata in karate starts with a defensive move, it starts with a block. It doesn't start with a punch or a kick. It's how aikido deals with confrontation, that makes it somewhat unique from the others.
For example?
In karatedo you might go to any extent to avoid a fight, but if it comes down to it, and you have to hit somebody, there's a good chance that if you strike with all your power that you're going to injure them. I think ideally, in aikido, if you couldn't talk them out of it, and you had no choice but to take action, hopefully you would wind up pinning them and not breaking a bone.
But the operative word is hopefully. Can you really assume that?
It's never an art that loses a fight. It's only individuals who do. The term that comes to mind is masakatsu. Basically, if you act in accordance with the principles of aikido, you always emerge victorious.
"True victory, correct victory." But there have been instances where senior aikido instructors have had fights or problems with criminal elements and in some cases caused injury. Is that blending? Perhaps in terms of the "big picture" it is necessary to cause pain, injury or even death to one or two people, to teach others that this is not the best way to go, or to reduce a probable situation where lots of people could get hurt or worse.
I teach my students something along those lines. I tell them that in the ideal world, with ideal aikido being applied, we will be able to reconcile an attacker, and leave as good buddies, but in the real world this isn't always possible. If someone is trying to take your life with a knife, I think a broken arm is a small price for them to pay. I tell my students that the level of severity of the technique applied is very much an individual decision. Obviously, if a friend of yours has had a little too much to drink, and is a little belligerent, you wouldn't put him in the hospital. But if your family is being threatened with bodily harm, or someone wants to take their life, and you are to defend them, even if at the risk of causing injury, that's something that you have to decide for yourself.
How do you teach your people to deal with this dilemma, to resolve these issues? We have training methods that reduce the possibility of injury, but all of those techniques are deadly. One of my teachers once asked me, "How many throws are there in aikido?" I said, "Well, I don't know. I've heard various numbers. 64. 362. 2,000. 6,000. 16,000?" He said, "Uh-uh. None, Zero. All the throws are strikes, the pins are all deadly. We throw to avoid injuring."
I try to show my students what's real. I teach atemiwaza, that is, striking techniques. I'll tell them that whether they actually need to follow all the way through with that atemiwaza depends on the severity of the situation. If you practice atemiwaza, then you can use it if you need to. If you don't really need to then you can use it as a blinding move or distraction to help you into your technique. Obviously, in a real situation, if you have somebody on the ground, and you are pinning their shoulder, then you have the option to believe them if they say they've had enough and they want to go home with their arm intact. But if this person is just going to get up and try to shoot you, you have the option of dislocating or breaking their arm.
So you are talking about dealing with what is real in the sense of making decisions to resolve real conflict and possibly injuring, or worse, a "real" assailant.
For me it goes back to aikido being a real martial art. And for me, it has to be a real martial art.
Which means?
That the techniques have to be effective against real attacks. There are many different styles of aikido and even within the same school there are different styles and different feelings. There are many reasons for practicing aikido. Some people practice aikido for health benefits. But for me it has to be a real martial art, one that works against real attacks. I'm not saying that this way is for everyone. Not everybody needs to study weapons. This goes back to the question of whether weapons are a necessary part of learning aikido. They're not necessary, but I think that they can be extremely helpful in making your martial art more of a true martial art, as opposed to being just a dance.
You used the term "true martial art" just now. Do you mean to say if you're not doing weapons, you're not doing true martial arts?
No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that to me it isn't a martial art if people take falls for you when the throw isn't there. If people run around you and go off and do a roll, when you haven't really thrown them, it is not a true martial art. I tend to relate things to what I think would happen in the real world if somebody really was attacking you, how they would move and such. I think a lot of what people in aikido perceive as immobilizations or throws, would not work against really strong attackers. I think a lot of people are amazed when they visit a dojo where hard grabbing techniques are practiced and they're used to more flowing movements, and all of a sudden they find that they can't move very well. I think you need a little bit of all the different things. I think that people who do nothing but flowing need to get a little more grounded, and to do a little more hard basic grabbing. And I think that people who do nothing but kihon waza, basic techniques, need to get out there and learn to move their bodies some more, to do more flowing. There are a lot of people who don't feel comfortable relating aikido to a martial art or self-defense. They just like it as an art or as an exercise.
More akin to dance?
I have no problem with that way of thinking, but that's not what I do. If students wish to do that, that's fine. I think one should make what one is teaching clear to one's students. Are you teaching philosophy? Are you teaching a real martial art? Can they actually defend themselves with this? Or is that not the point? For myself I'd like to believe that we can adhere to the principles of aikido and not injure people and still be able to deal with a very real and very strong attack and be able to complete a throw without injury to ourselves or to the attacker. That's my goal. 1 find that the weapons training is helping me towards that, and I think my aikido is better for the weapons training. The reality that Katori Shinto-ryu brought to my weapons training carries over directly into the reality of my taijutsu, my body arts.
What about the issue of weapons and injury and death? Has that come up?
Interesting question. I show my students the difference between the kata practices and the real technique-that in fact if you moved in a slightly different way this move could be fatal. In Katori we practice very fast and we practice very close to each other and a lot a control is needed, but people do make mistakes. Occasionally you get bopped in the head, but it's never anything serious. The most serious things that happen are people getting bloodied fingers because we are close and people aren't perfect yet, and miss a little bit. But a few bleeding fingers is probably the most serious injuries we ever have.
I wasn't referring so much to training as in a more general sense. You, the trainee, are training in something that has some pretty severe potential. How does the trainee deal with this? Most of us don't face life and death situations in our daily lives…
Occasionally students see the potential in a certain throw, and I wouldn't say that it really shocks them, but it can really open their eyes as to how potent or lethal the technique can be. But basically I teach my students what I was taught, which is the only reason you can do a nice ukemi is because your partner allows you to. Every strike, every throw is potentially lethal.
How about with the weapons? Has that come up?
Occasionally when you show somebody how easy it would be to separate their head from their body with a real sword, it can be rather shocking.
You mentioned earlier, and this has been my experience as well, that training with weapons, particularly in classical disciplines, you develop a sharpness, an edge, a sense of timing, a sense of distancing, a sense of potentiality, and you become more aware than the average person, who doesn't do this kind of training. Your ability to react gets compressed and your idea of what can happen to you, what you can do to somebody else gets compressed. All of a sudden you're working three to four to six steps ahead of the other person. Is this ever a problem when your classically trained students are working with students who have only done aikido?
No, not really. I can't think of any time people have been really affected by that. I've had a couple of students who have been with me for a long time, and I've told them that if they wanted to practice Katori they could. But they said that they were just not ready at this point, for the commitment, or the reality of a live blade. There's nothing like working with a real sword to really bring out focus and an understanding of the reality of the technique. My very first Katori practice in Narita was three hours long, and the first hour and a half I was on my knees doing a single partner practice with my sword for the first time. I must have lost at least five pounds. Bruises on my knees. Being the only foreigner at the dojo, and my Japanese not that good. The teacher can't speak any English.
It's even difficult to understand his Japanese if you're not used to his particular dialect.
Sugawara Sensei wasn't there, he just pointed the way and said, there it is. You're the first foreigner they've admitted there for a while, you don't want to blow it, and here you are with this real sword. Otake Sensei does it, and there's no sound. Your sword comes rattling out of the saya and rattling back in, and you're just hoping you don't drop it on the floor and cut your toe off or cut your ear off when you're putting it back in the saya. There's nothing like working with a real sword, but not everybody's ready for that.
Do you find that the people who have trained with you in classical weapons technique to be any sharper, less liable to be injured or less liable to injure other people than people of comparable experience in straight aiki technique who have not trained in classical weapons?
Well, I wouldn't say that it was so much that they nave less chance of injuring somebody, but I would certainly say that they are a little more comfortable facing certain situations, or even just doing something like jo-taking or sword-taking. Because they have spent a lot of time dealing with people swinging swords towards their heads, they feel more comfortable taking jo and swords away from people. As far as less injuries, I don't really know. We don't have serious injuries, so it's difficult to say.
Are there any harmful or negative effects of weapons training on your taijutsu?
Not so much from what I have seen personally, but I certainly can see the potential for someone going in the wrong direction. People can get so carried away with their weapons practice that they forget the original intent, which is taijutsu. It's been often said that we're only practicing with the weapons in aiki to help us understand our taijutsu, not to go out and get in a sword fight. There are few sword fights happening these days, and we rarely have a sword in our hands when something does happen… So I believe it could be easy for someone to lose sight of the purpose of weapons training in aikido. If they understand that the reason they're doing it is so that their aikido techniques will be better, then it's all right Society being what it is today, we are not carrying around swords or sticks, we are carrying around briefcases or purses or whatever. So basically, we are empty-handed most of the time I think it's a big mistake for teachers to teach weapons as a separate class and taijutsu as another class and not relate them back and forth. I think we have to look at both. There are times if I've been having a problem with taijutsu, I'll look at it from a sword point of view, and I can usually correct it that way. And vice versa, if I'm doing weapons, I consider how can I apply it to my taijutsu and make it work. They help each other, I think. The problems arise if one loses sight of that.
Are there any final points you'd like to make?
Just about what David Lynch said in his interview. He's been studying aikido for a long time, and I'm sure he's teaching very good aikido. But he's never learned weapons, so he doesn't teach weapons and I think that's fine. If you tried teaching weapons that you've never learned properly, then I think you'd be causing more problems than it's worth. I certainly think that you can learn good aikido without having learned weapons. For myself, and the way most of my students feel, it's a real benefit to get used to the weapons. I don't think people should be limited. If somebody wants to learn aikido but doesn't want to learn the weapons I don't think you need to tell them that they have to do weapons. I think they are perfectly capable of learning good aikido and good technique without weapons. For myself, I enjoy the weapons, and I've gotten a lot of benefit from them. I would just hope that people would keep open to what's out there. Even if they don't pick up a sword and start practicing, at least look at it and decide. Look at some good weapons training, if such a thing is available.
How can one go about finding good weapons instruction?
I always tell people to take a look and see what kind of person the teacher is. I think you can look at a lot, even from an untrained perspective, and tell if something's real or if it would work on a very basic level. If you are still unsure, then you might have to travel out of the area to get a feeling for what's good, or what's worth it. If you really want it badly enough and there's a good teacher out there, you'll go there. Even if it's only once a month. You can take it back and if it's something you can train in by yourself at home, you can do it. I think that's preferable to training in something that is, I don't want to say bad, but not as good.

Linguistik-Klassifikation: Quantitative Linguistik / Quantitative linguistics
Document Type
- Preprint (1)
- Working Paper (1)
- Sprachliche Universalien (2) (remove)
- Absolute and statistical universals (2007)
- Language universals are statements that are true of all languages, for example: "all languages have stop consonants". But beneath this simple definition lurks deep ambiguity, and this triggers misunderstanding in both interdisciplinary discourse and within linguistics itself. A core dimension of the ambiguity is captured by the opposition "absolute vs. statistical universal", although the literature uses these terms in varied ways. Many textbooks draw the boundary between absolute and statistical according to whether a sample of languages contains exceptions to a universal. But the notion of an exception-free sample is not very revealing even if the sample contained all known languages: there is always a chance that an as yet undescribed language, or an unknown language from the past or future, will provide an exception.
- A general method for the statistical evaluation of typological distributions (2008)
- The distribution of linguistic structures in the world is the joint product of universal principles, inheritance from ancestor languages, language contact, social structures, and random fluctuation. This paper proposes a method for evaluating the relative significance of each factor — and in particular, of universal principles — via regression modeling: statistical evidence for universal principles is found if the odds for families to have skewed responses (e.g. all or most members have postnominal relative clauses) as opposed to having an opposite response skewing or no skewing at all, is significantly higher for some condition (e.g. VO order) than for another condition, independently of other factors.

Paul George recovering from rough week
Paul George was happy to be back at practice and amongst the guys Thursday afternoon. He had come down with bronchitis, and stuck at home all week since returning home Sunday night from the team's trip to Asia.
"It's been hell," he said before showering and heading to the airport for the team's flight to Chicago. "Just bed rest, really. A lot of time being at home being bored."
Most of his days were spent just sitting around and watching television — not playing video games. Knowing George, that means he was sick as a dog. He was very appreciative that his parents were in town and able to take of their 23-year-old son. They did, however, fly home earlier Thursday.
"It was good to have them there to aid me," he said.
According to MayoClinc.com, bronchitis is an inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from your lungs. Dealing with bronchitis is something new for George, as he has never had it before. And obviously it's no longer contagious, or he wouldn't have re-joined the team.
During Thursday's short practice, he did feel some of the effects — like shortness of breath.
"I had a 104-degree fever," said George. "I had the chills and was sweating like crazy every time I napped. Yeah, I was bad. I was pretty bad."
George figured the craziness of this last month was just a bad combination. In that time, he returned to Indianapolis, settled down in a new house, signed a five-year contract extension, and then flew over 16,000 miles with the team for games in both the Philippines and Taiwan.
"It was not being caught up on sleep," George explained. "[Being in] the different time zones and then my body is just going through so much stuff. It just hit me. I'm still on Ambien to help me sleep at night. I wouldn't say I'm as bad as some of these guys; I'm not George Hill up at 5 AM buying stuff on informercials. I'm shutting it down like 12 or 1 o'clock [in the morning], which is the usual for me. I'm getting back to where I should be."
While the team played the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday evening, he was at home trying to get better. And even though the game wasn't televised, he was following along closely.
The Pacers play back-to-back road games this weekend, first in Chicago on Friday and then in Cleveland on Saturday. Whatever minutes he plays, they'll most likely be limited because the team will still have two more preseason contests to go before opening their 2013-14 campaign at home against Orlando on Oct. 29.
"I'm expecting to play in Chicago," George said. "I hope to play in Chicago. I hope through this next 24 hours, I can feel a little bit better. I was trying to get going today and just trying to sweat it out. But my wind isn't there and my chest is a little heavy. But hopefully, again, in 24 hours it's out of my system."

Unions representing city employees say City Council members are bracing for ordinances they fear could strip them of the right to collectively bargain.
"We're meeting with (2nd District Republican) Russ Jehl Thursday, but I have heard there are three ordinances on the table, and that two of them don't include (public safety unions), said Sofia Rosales-Scatena, president of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, which represents 360 rank-and file police officers.
Jehl and John Crawford, R-at large, have declined to comment.
But Rosales-Scatena said several inquiries have convinced her that an effort to strip at least civil-service union employees of collective bargaining power is likely. "But (excluding police and fire) is just the tip of the iceberg. Council will start with the others, and we'll be next," she said.
In addition to about 800 unionized public safety employees, the city has about 1,000 other unionized employees, about half of whom are members of about six unions.
Of City Council's nine members, six are Republicans – the number that would have to support any ordinance in order to override a veto by Democratic Mayor Tom Henry. If the ordinances materialize, it would not be the first time Republicans have tried to tame public-sector unions. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, for example, successfully defended himself against a recall vote in 2012 after curbing some unions' collective bargaining rights.
But Rosales-Scatena said she does not understand why council would even consider such a thing.
"We haven't had any significant issues, so I'm not sure where this is coming from," said, noting her union is considering a tentative three-year contract calling for annual 2 percent raises – less than it had initially requested.
Lloyd Osborne, agent for International Union of Operating Engineers Local 399, which represents about 150 employees in City Utilities and other departments, expressed similar sentiments.
"We hope to find out why they're doing this, what they hope to accomplish, why they are attacking workers. I'm beside myself. I can't understand it when we've been working with the city to achieve savings," he said.
Allen County employees are not unionized, and generally earn less than their city counterparts.

ELON, N.C. — A $162,000 grant, along with community and private donations, will pay for a face lift at Elon's Lawrence Slade Park.
The renovations are expected to take about a year to complete and add an amphitheater, an improved picnic shelter, a larger play set and handicap accessible paths to the park.
A donation from Frank Haith, former Elon resident and current University of Missouri Men's basketball coach will help pay for a new basketball court.
"Kids today like to play Playstation and stay inside. To beautify this park and upgrade the facilities is important to me" Haith said.
Haith plans to hold basketball camps for elementary school kids at the new basketball courts.
Park officials say without the donations, the improvements would have taken four to five years.

Determining Customer Objectives - Questions To Ask Your Client
In this example, we looked at an individual. This is also unrealistic. When developing an investment plan, you must determine if the potential client can support all of her dependents as well as herself.
That means inquiring as to:
- marital status
- number of children and other dependents
- employment of client and client's spouse
- are children are going to private or public school
- how much they expect to pay for college and when those college educations begin.
It is also a good idea to ask the investor about her investment experience. In this example, the prospective client has some stocks and mutual funds, but she has more in cash equivalents, CDs and savings bonds. This is probably not a person with whom you need to discuss three-point arbitrage - at least, not immediately. Just talk stocks, bonds and mutual funds with her to start.
Lastly, and most tactfully, you need to ask a prospective client if she has made out her will. This might not affect whether you recommend a stock or a mutual fund to her this week, but it will definitely affect what advice you give her when she reaches the gifting stage.

The Coleoptera, or beetles, play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems worldwide.
Copris fallaciosus, Kenyan dung beetle
With around 400,000 described species, the Coleoptera, or beetles, are among the largest groups of organisms on the planet.
Part of the reason for this huge number of described taxa is their popularity among amateur and professional entomologists.
Coleoptera have a holometabolous life-cycle (complete metamorphosis), the larvae either free living or burrowing in a wide range of substrates.
These can include:
Find out about our research into the evolution and diversity of the Coleoptera.
The name Coleoptera comes from the Greek for "sheath wings", because the front pair of wings, known as elytra, are hardened to protect the membranous flight wing beneath.
Learn more about the coleoptera collections, which are among the oldest, largest and most important in the world.

Correction to Secor
Mt Ericsson
by John Wakabayashi
Mt. Ericsson (listed as class 2 via the West Ridge with no mention of more difficult summit rocks) The summit rocks are class 3 and exposed no matter what route is chosen. The West Ridge is indeed easy class 2 from Lucy's Foot Pass until reaches the summit rocks. One must then climb a 15-foot moderate class 3 pitch to reach the crest of the summit ridge, followed by a short distance of class 2 on the ridge, then one short class 3 move with considerable exposure to reach the highest point and register. Note that the class 3 summit rocks are mentioned in Roper's guide. To put the last move to the register in perspective, the exposure on that move is well beyond any that is encountered on the final knife edge of the NE couloir route on Abbot.

"Glenroy took the time to truly understand my product cycle - how the products are manufactured, pouched, boxed, transported, displayed and finally, actually used by the customer. Glenroy presented me with several great options to be sure the product that started out in the plant remained perfect until the moment the customer opened the bag. The service of Glenroy's staff and the quality of the finished product are outstanding."
Marketing Manager
APC, Inc.
"I have been using Glenroy film for over fifteen years for three different companies. Whether our customers supply the film or we purchase it directly, it arrives on time, meets all specifications, and runs well on our equipment. As soon as we hear the name Glenroy we know that we can control our success, because the materials are going to work and our customers are going to be satisfied each and every time."
General Manager
Paxico LLC
"Glenroy has proven over time to be an outstanding supplier of high-quality film that is both consistent and predictable."
Prime Label & Screen
"Our company has used Glenroy for many years and has always received great service and high-quality products. We love to work with Glenroy and will continue to work with Glenroy for many years to come."

Director of Sales and Marketing
Span Packaging
"I have been associated with Glenroy for the past five years and recommend them highly. I am truly pleased with the 'Total Service' given to me. From the get-go, I receive courteous and prompt attention to orders and quotations. Apart from their 'written in stone' dependable lead times, their knowledge and support given to details—such as artwork, technical advice, etc—has aided to eliminate problems that might have occurred. I feel they are part of my team, and that they share the same 'customer' focused values as my company."
Materials Manager
Derma Sciences, Inc.
"We've been doing business with Glenroy for over 25 years. Glenroy has produced excellent quality, and has always bent over backwards to address our needs. Glenroy is more than just a trusted supplier; Glenroy is a strategic partner, which is crucial in today's economy."
Pioneer Balloon Co.
"Glenroy has a well-deserved reputation for quality and service. When discussing packaging film, I've heard several people mention Glenroy and speak highly of the company. If I ever need an order right away, Glenroy gets the product to me on time and gives me updates along the way. Glenroy is a great company to work with."

Fascinating exploration of the relationship between architecture and the mental outlook of an era. After the auto clunker bill, should today's stimulus policy options include incentives for renovating / building houses that simply sooth and inspire inhabitants in depressing economic times?
Paul Rudolph seems like two architects. The first created Florida houses that have a lightness, delight and geometric simplicity of Japanese tea houses. The second adopted Le Corbusier's Brutalism, creating heavy, menacing concrete bunkers like Yale's A & A Building (now Rudolph Hall), which inside look and smell like multi-story basements.
When any of Rudolph's work meets the wrecker's ball, I miss only the former. The latter is a cautionary tale of the danger of abandoning your special gift to imitate trends.

ZacWare and GoGrid Partner to Deliver Revolutionary Jentla Multisite CMS in the Cloud
San Francisco, CA May 11, 2009–GoGrid, the Cloud Computing division of ServePath Dedicated Hosting and ZacWare, a leader in true multi-site CMS solutions, announced a new technology partnership to provide a product and service offering for organizations needing to host, manage and maintain 2 to over 10,000 individual websites from one central management system. Jentla, ZacWare's best-in-class multisite CMS based on Joomla, allows the development community to rapidly build, scale and maintain sophisticated websites, increasing profitability through efficiencies of Cloud hosting and CMS management in the process.
Deploying scalable, reliable applications from scratch in a cloud environment is a time consuming and expensive task. As a result, most organizations do not have the expertise or resources to deploy and manage multi-site content management systems cost effectively and according to industry best practices. With Jentla's platform in conjunction with GoGrid's cloud infrastructure, any organization can easily tap the enormous power of cloud computing for an affordable, "pay-as-you-go" site development infrastructure. Jentla's offerings provide rapid deployment, a dynamically scalable infrastructure to meet new site development demand, and require minimal resources using automated tools and one centralized management system for easy control.
To provide Joomla developers with maximum flexibility Jentla has three major configurations:
- Full SaaS model - both the Jentla manager and their client sites are hosted with GoGrid
- Blended model - the Jentla manager is hosted as a SaaS application on GoGrid and the managed sites are either self-hosted or hosted on GoGrid's cloud infrastructure
- Self Hosted model - Jentla is self-hosted on a client's server and they host their sites themselves
Jentla and GoGrid's SaaS hosted solution gets customers up and running fast. In this model, the Jentla manager is hosted in GoGrid's cloud, allowing customers to choose whether they wish to manage their sites from Jentla's cloud environment (without changing their current site location) or import their sites into Jentla and host them with GoGrid. Either way, clients enjoy the benefits and scalability of Jentla with the flexibility of GoGrid's cloud hosting expertise.
"We have seen a tremendous and enthusiastic interest from the Joomla community and developers who are receiving requests for multi-site solutions as Joomla makes its way into the Enterprise. In the current economy, Jentla is the right solution for reducing costs and bringing the whole web presence under centralized control. The full SaaS Jentla offering on GoGrid, is the fastest and most economical way for a developer to build and launch hundreds of complex CMS sites and keep them under a centralized management system." said Damian Hickey, Founder and Director of Jentla. "GoGrid brings a track record of hosting and infrastructure expertise and has the industry awards to prove it. We look forward to working closely with them as this nascent market continues to take off."
"We've been impressed with what Jentla brings to the market and see a lot of growth happening in the enterprise sector of the cloud computing market, starting right here in Silicon Valley," said GoGrid CEO, John Keagy. "It's also a big reason we've expanded from traditional hosting to include a cloud architecture: customers want more flexibility, and that 'right now' scalable capability that GoGrid and Jentla provide."
GoGrid delivers portal-controlled servers for Windows 2003 and 2008, multiple Linux operating systems and supports application environments like Ruby on Rails. GoGrid is unique in cloud computing with the availability of 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows Server 2008; and was named winner of LinuxWorld 2008 "Best of Show" in August. Together, GoGrid and Jentla will provide joint cloud solutions that are elegant and bring power, control and scalability to business customers.
The first joint solution for Jentla on GoGrid will be available in Q2 2009. For details on pricing and different product options, contact GoGrid at 1-877-946-4743 or via live chat at www.GoGrid.com. You can also contact Jentla at 1-415-345-7773, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit www.jentla.com .

LOGAN – A moose paid residents of a Logan neighborhood a visit Wednesday morning, forcing police to close down streets in the area.
North Park Police Officer Lance Wilkinson says they'd gotten numerous calls from residents calling about a bull moose on the loose, and officers decided to step in and keep it from going near surrounding houses, an armory and a church parking lot.
"A bunch of citizens were calling that the moose was running through their backyard, and that's when we responded and tried to locate it," said Wilkinson.
Police and animal control officers from Logan, Smithfield and Cache County were able to locate the animal at a parking lot near 400 East and 1800 North in Logan, but they were unable to contain it.
Officers had to close off some streets in the area to avoid harming the moose or the public.
"We shut off a few streets for public safety concerns so the moose wouldn't run out in front of traffic," said Wilkinson.
Neighbors say they saw officers closing in on the moose before it hunkered down in a pasture under a tree.
"It was really lethargic and slow, and then it just kind of put its hind legs down, and then put its front legs down, and then it was down," said Alicia Watteyne.
Division of Wildlife Resources officers were able to fire a tranquilizer dart at the animal, who then collapsed near a home at 2085 North and 600 East.
Darren DeBloois, a biologist with the DWR, says the animal was likely forced away by its mother, who is preparing for a new calf.
"It looks like a yearling bow," said DeBloois. "It's probably been forced off of its mother. Its mother is probably getting ready to have a calf this year and so he wandering and sometimes they find their way to town."
The moose will be sent back into the Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
The DWR says that around this time of year, wild animals try to set up a place to live and may wander into towns, but they're not a threat unless confronted.
