|Comeback Falls Short in 5-4 Loss to Samford
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Saturday, 16 April 2011 18:30
Appalachian State University baseball's furious ninth-inning rally came up just short in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Samford at Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium.Appalachian (21-16, 7-10 SoCon) trailed 5-0 going into the bottom of the ninth but sent nine batters to the plate in its final at-bat. ASU cut the deficit to one run on Lawrence Pardo's pinch-hit grand slam and put the winning run on base before Samford (22-14, 10-7 SoCon) was finally able to seal the victory.
"We had the right people up in the ninth, but we couldn't pull this off," said ASU coach Chris Pollard. "I told them after the game, don't let this deflat you, but let it inflat you for sunday's final game."
Samford starter Charles Bradford (4-3) cruised into the ninth inning with an eight-hit shutout but hit Daniel Kassouf with a 3-2 pitch to lead off the frame. Zack Briggs followed with what looked like a double-play groundball but SU shortstop Tyler Filliben made a low and outside throw to second base, seemingly pulling teammate Michael Johnson off the bag and allowing Kassouf to slide in safely. However, Kassouf was ruled out on the play.
The controversial call at second became a huge storyline in the game when Basford and Samford closer Andrew Jones walked the next two batters to load the bases for Pardo, who blasted a 3-2 pitch from Jones over the right center field wall for his first career home run, cutting the ASU deficit to 5-4.
After Hector Crespo popped out for the second out of the inning, Tyler Zupcic and Trey Holmes both singled to put the tying run in scoring position and the winning run on base. However, Samford's third pitcher of the ninth inning, Grant Sides, struck out Jack Myers on yet another full-count pitch to end the game.
Bradford and Samford right fielder Brandon Miller were almost solely responsible for Appalachian facing a five-run deficit in the final inning. Despite running into trouble in the ninth, Bradford was charged with just two runs on eight hits, issued only one walk and struck out a career-high 10 in 8.1 innings of work.
Miller provided four of the Bulldogs' five runs with a pair of home runs, a solo shot in the first inning and a three-run blast in the fifth that upped his season total to 14. Brad Moss drove in SU's only other run when he followed Johnson's leadoff triple with an RBI single in the first.
Appalachian outhit Samford, 11-8, but ASU issued five walks and left eight men on base in the loss, which snapped a season-best five-game winning streak. Zupcic led the way for the Mountaineers with a 3-for-5 performance. Holmes, Myers and Jeremy Dowdy chipped in with two hits apiece.
"It was a well-played game on both sides," Pollard said. "I thought their starting pitcher (Charles Bradford) did a great job. We just have to get it done tomorrow, and play hard."
The Mountaineers and Bulldogs play the rubber game of their three-game weekend series on Sunday at noon. Sunday is Baseball For Babies Day at Smith Stadium, with free admission to both the game and the subsequent High Country March For Babies with a donation to the March of Dimes. ASU athletics hopes to set a Smith Stadium attendance record in conjunction with the March For Babies event, which will feature appearances by a wide range of Mountaineer coaches, student-athletes and cheerleaders and a plethora fun-for-the-whole-family activities in an effort to raise money for the March of Dimes.
Radio coverage of Sunday's game begins at 11:40 pm on AM 1450, WATA.

Consumer Reports: Breaking away from belted vacuums
CONSUMER REPORTS -- Sal Galasso has been repairing vacuums for 34 years and says belts can be an annoying problem.
"We call them rubber bands," Galasso says."They stretch, and after two, three months, they stretch out and everything starts vibrating."
Consumer Reports just tested a beltless vacuum from Kenmore for $350. It's what's known as a direct-drive vacuum.
"With direct-drive vacuums, a motor drives the brush directly without a belt," says Bob Markovich.
Consumer Reports put Kenmore's beltless vacuum through its standard tests. Technicians sprinkle sand onto bare floors, embed sand and talcum powder into carpets - they even use pet hair to challenge the vacuums.
The Kenmore Elite 31150 cleaned up - outscoring every other vacuum. It did an excellent job on bare floors and was impressive on carpets and has strong suction.
But, most vacuums still come with belts.
If yours breaks, Consumer Reports says it isn't hard to replace.
"There are basically two ways to access the belt and brush to change in the vacuum cleaner," says Dave Trezza. "One requires a screwdriver. And the other one just requires releasing a couple clips on the cover."
You just undo the clips and slide off the cover. Slide the brush off the belt and then slide off the belt. Now you can install a new one.
Of course, if you aren't that handy, there's always your local vacuum repairman like Sal to get the job done.

|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 01 August 2011 11:07
A man died after his truck became stuck on a bridge late Saturday just out of Blowing Rock. The Caldwell County Sheriff's Office received a call at 9:15 pm from the area of 4700 Bills Lane, in the Blackberry Community in northern Caldwell County.
Rescue Personnel from Blowing Rock Fire and Rescue and Deputies form the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office responded to the call.

Investigators are waiting on autopsy results to get an exact cause of death. The victim is Michael Dean Greene, of Guy Lane, Lenoir. Mr. Greene was 53 years of age. Investigators do not suspect any foul play in this incident. Sheriff Alan Jones stated "Our thoughts and prays go out to the family of Mr. Greene, this was a tragic accident."

DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY, 3:00 PM ETQuestions will be answered about the 23-man roster
FanHouse: CB on Zenon Konopka's life story
FH: Bettman stands up for Colin Campbell's "consistency"
9:50 pm: Would the Islanders ask Jon Sim to volunteer his time greeting fans at the team's Open House on Tuesday night, and then put him on waivers on Wednesday with the goal of sending him to Bridgeport? Hmm…
Is Sim still on the roster because every shift he takes is a lesson in relentlessness and treating every opponent like the enemy – traits this roster could use more of? You better believe it.
Sim may or may not be with the Islanders this time tomorrow, but plenty of questions will be answered when the Islanders meet the NHL deadline and file their 23-man roster by 3:00 pm ET on Wednesday.
Here's one view of the lineup:
Comeau – Tavares – Parenteau
Moulson – Nielsen – Hunter/Niederreiter
Bailey – Weight – Grabner
Gillies – Konopka – Martin/Sim
Injured Reserve: Okposo, Schremp
Forward Notes: If the Islanders decide to send Matt Martin to Bridgeport – probably not now, you never know later – he does not require waivers. Should Michael Grabner not pan out for the team, he would have to go on waivers to play in the AHL. Trent Hunter is on the team and will score at least 20 goals if he plays 70 games. On nights when the coaches feel they don't need Trevor Gillies, there's plenty of icetime for everybody. Sim, who is on a two-way contract, needs waivers and would probably clear. At worst, he is a strong depth callup and instant agitator when the Islanders need some life on the ice.
Mottau – Wisniewski
Eaton – Martinek
MacDonald – Hillen
de Haan – Gervais
Injured Reserve: Streit
Defense Notes: If de Haan sticks, the Islanders will likely start the season with eight men on defense. It would not be surprising if the team waives Milan Jurcina or Bruno Gervais, but it would be if they tried to demote both. (Regardless, I'm fairly certain both would clear waivers since they're on one-way deals). Something else to watch: Jack Hillen played for the B squads in Philadelphia and Quebec City. The team should deny it, but that cannot be a coincidence. No matter what, the Islanders have a tough decision to make. They probably have already made it, but haven't shared the news with the players as of tonight.
Goalie notes: If Rick DiPietro is healthy on Saturday, how much do you want to bet he starts the season opener against Dallas?
Save the date of Thursday, October 21. Planning a Point Blank season kickoff party at SOCIAL, across the street from the Coliseum. Free buffet by Top Chef's Danny Gagnon, Islanders tickets giveaway, raffle and the Islanders vs the Tampa Bay Lightning at 7:30 pm on a few dozen TVs. Stay tuned for confirmation and details.
See you Wednesday. Comments on this subject are encouraged.

Banning smoking in cars
Government researchers suggest banning smoking in cars when children are present.
Reporter: Tammy Vo
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - There are many restrictions that have been placed on drivers including texting bans and talking on the cell phone. Now, government researchers are pushing for another ban -- no smoking in the car when kids are present. Is it a good idea?
9 On Your Side headed to the American Lung Association for comment. There, we met Michael Fayne. He underwent a double lung transplant one year ago after being diagnosed with lung disease. He describes what brought on his sickness.
"About forty years of smoking. Not too smart but when you grow up in the 60's. We weren't too smart back then". He believes he would've been dead had he not received the transplant. It was a wakeup call for Fayne who now knows how dangerous cigarette smoke can be.
The Centers for Disease Control conducted research that found that one-fifth of kids who don't smoke are often exposed to it in cars. It's calling for a smoking ban in cars when kids are present.
Chris Casagrande is a smoker. She supports the idea under certain conditions. "Depending on how old that kid is. If it's a baby or toddler, yeah because of second hand smoke."
The American Lung Association fully supports a ban saying that the dangers of second hand smoke are real. Executive Director Dominic San Angelo said, "Second hand smoke kills. It hurts. Children are vulnerable because they can't make that informed decision themselves. There are laws about child abuse and neglect". He went on to say "It's not a question of whether government wants to parent children. There's reasonable evidence that second hand smoke kills."
About five states have passed laws banning smoking in cars while kids are present. Congressman Grijalva fully supports it saying "I never smoke when my grandson is in the car, and I hope no one else would either." Governor Brewer wasn't ready to comment without reviewing the study.
The American Lung Association is holding its annual Fight for Air Walk on March 18th at the U of A mall. To register click here. Their Healthy Lung Expo will be held on Saturday, March 10th at Viscount Suites in Tucson. To register call 323-1812.

William Lane Craig vs Victor Stenger Debate "Does God Exist?"
The other parts can be found right here.
Who won?
Craig got his clock cleaned, especially on the arguments where he tries invoke science – cosmology, probability, etc. This is one of the few debates where I feel like Craig just got mercilessly plowed.
Of course, all the Craig jedi think he cleaned house. More proof that debates are usually just a waste of time.
Would you Adam and Eve it?! I have recently done blog posts with my comments on this very debate and even typed up a transcript of Stenger's three main speeches. (There was no need to do a transcript of Craig's speeches; he doesn't say anything you haven't heard him say a million times before or since.)
My two pence is that Stenger very calmly and without recourse to any debater's tricks absolutely wiped the floor with Craig! Make sure you watch Stenger's recent lecture partway down my post where he suspects Craig of "lying" to his scientifically ignorant audiences by continuing to use the same bogus cosmological argument as well as misquoting Stephen Hawking.
I emailed my posts to Vic and he very kindly posted them on his own website.
Happy Christmas/ Pagan Solstice/ Mid-Winter Humanist Festival, John W!
Debates can be fun to watch, and sometimes educational. They annoy me because people always look for a "winner," which is going to be the person who employed superior rhetorical skills rather than the person who applied better reasoning skills.
William Lane Craig is an excellent orator and debater (he has to be, considering what he's peddling). I've seen him "win" on a number of occasions. That doesn't mean he's right. Craig reminds me of the guys Socrates used to get into discussions with: so-called "experts" who really didn't know as much as they thought they did.
I think Stenger sounded and looked tired, and could have done better. Craig with his usual forceful demeanor and rhetoric, could impress some people. In the end, I think it's about 50-50.
why does no one ever do their craig research before debating craig? you've got to fight fire with fire. rhetorical devices and assured logical argumentation. i would also approach him on the weaknesses of molinism, and his notions of free will and foreknowledge.
stenger does ok, but he doesn't really make craig sweat. craig uses his typical scattergun 'you must totally refute these 10 points which is impossible to do in this time if you want to win' approach.
he really needs to be attacked on his historicity of his 3(4) fact approach (he seems to have dropped the joseph of arimathea angle). so many hopes on carrier, but all dashed!
i'm sure some of his cosmology is also well refutable.
Craig's entire point about the "Why is there something rather than nothing?" is just so infantile. It's a silly question.
The basic form of the question is "What something is the cause of there being something rather than nothing?"
But, if you were ever to find the something that caused there to be something rather than nothing, the question could still be asked! Why is there the "something that caused something to exist instead of nothing" instead of nothing? Ad infinitum.
It's the golden ratio of philosophical questions.
Why is there God instead of nothing, Craig?
The question is genuinely shortsighted and myopic. It assumes the answer it is attempting to find: that nothing has never been a possibility.
So why is there something rather than nothing?
Because nothing was never a possibility in the first place.
Anyone else see this illusion in the question?
Oh, btw I realize I just answered one of the deepest philosophical questions ever by saying it is a stupid question that answers itself. Sue me.
Richard Carrier lost to Craig, and he said this on his blog, but if Carrier didn't I would have said it
Craig is a master debater and amazing at selling a pitch
Most people are not that good

Town of LeRay Highway Department workers repaired four fire hydrants in the past week to curtail leaks in Water District 2, which encompasses the commercial district along routes 11 and 342. The repairs came after officials discovered this month the district had leaked about 5 million gallons, an average of 55,000 gallons a day, during the first quarter this year.
Our daily flows appear to be returning to normal, and by all appearances the problem is fixed, said Steven T. Harter, the town supervisors administrative clerk. He said two leaks were fixed on Route 11, north of the intersection of Route 781, on April 19. The remaining two leaks, found along Route 342, were repaired Monday.
Based on the amount residents are charged in the district $3.75 per 1,000 gallons the town lost about $18,750 worth of water in the past three months, about $208 per day.

Bosh, Horford and Lee
The above title suggests that this will be a compare and contrast of three of the most talented front court players in the Eastern Conference, if not the entire league.
And it will be. But before I get into it, let's just pour the final shovel of dirt on the Lee snubbing. It was close, but in the end, I keep hearing, it came down to a team's win/loss record. If that is the difference-making criteria, then it's just silly.
We mentioned the fact that Danny Granger and Devin Harris both made the team just a season ago, so that would suggest that this isn't always the case. To me, it came down Horford and Lee. I've said a million times that I love everything about Horford's game, and if I were starting a team tomorrow I'd be sure to have Horford on my roster. If you're one of those old-school 1990's Knick fans, you'd appreciate Horford's edge, his post and face up game, and that he dunks everything. Some games he'll get you 5 blocks a game and dunk everything in transition. I think he's a more offensively-skilled Antonio Davis and a Marcus Camby-type rolled in one. Camby, of course, is the better shot blocker, but remember, the Hawks lean on Josh Smith a lot on help side blocks. Make Horford a help-side defender and his blocks would go up in my opinion.
That said, Lee, offensively, is having a better season and I have no problem in saying that he should have made the team over Horford, but that's not to take from the fact that Horford is also well deserved.
Bosh is having a career year. He's better than both of them and he is still only 25 going on 26, a year younger than Lee, with a far more decorated resume. He's made the playoffs and won 47 games with T.J. Ford, who in fairness was healthy, Anthony Parker and Juan Dixon. Sure, they were bad last year, but it's not like this guy has ever had all that much talent around him.
Again, this is not to diminish what Lee has done, to be mentioned in this group speaks more to how far he's come, and continues to go. Again, he should have been an All-Star this year.
Is Bosh a franchise player? Would he want the pressure of carrying the Knicks past 2010? Or would fans, many of whom have told me they aren't that sold on him, welcome him with open arms? Dollar for dollar, especially when Horford signs his next deal, which is sure to be a huge raise, what makes money makes the most sense if you want to sign Lee?
Bosh is a perfect compliment to a superstar, that much is very clear.
All questions that at this point that don't have answers.
And let's be fair, why on earth wasn't Lee guarding Bosh in the final minute when the team needed a stop in the 4th quarter last night? Haven't seen the tape, but I'm thinking they had Wilson Chandler on Turkoglu, they ran a pick and Lee and Chandler switched.
Yes, I know the coach tells everyone to switch, but Lee has to say regardless of everything, "I've got Bosh."

Coalition Endorses Additional Patient Protections and Urges Further Action against Discrimination
Washington, DC (December 19, 2014) – Today, the "I Am (Still) Essential" coalition of patient groups sent a letter signed by 279 organizations to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell applauding the recently released Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2016 which, once finalized, define Essential Health Benefits (EHB) for Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) in the future under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The letter detailed how the many positive changes in the proposed rule will improve the plans available to patients. The letter also suggests additional changes that will increase positive patient outcomes and urges the rule to be finalized without diminishing any of the proposed improvements.
"Despite its short tenure, the ACA has already increased patient access to care," said Andrew Sperling, Director of Federal Legislative Advocacy at National Alliance on Mental Illness. "While it is not perfect, based on the proposed changes contained in the rule, we are optimistic the program will continue to evolve to serve patients better."
The coalition, which is comprised of groups representing millions of patients throughout the country, has been working to shed light on discrimination and barriers-to-care that patients, specifically those with chronic conditions, have encountered under the plans offered within the Health Insurance Marketplace.
The latest notice from HHS directly addresses several access-to-care issues the coalition raised in a July letter to the department. The patient groups applaud HHS for proposing new procedures that should result in plans covering more prescription medications to meet patient needs and avenues to access medications not covered by a plan through exceptions processes. The proposed rule also increases transparency so that enrollees have access to more information regarding providers and prescription formularies. The patient groups also support the HHS proposal that prohibits plans from delivering medications only through the mail.
"We are pleased that many of the concerns highlighted by the patient community are being recognized and addressed by Secretary Burwell," said Angela Ostrom, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Public Policy at the Epilepsy Foundation. "We urge HHS to ensure all of these positive changes are incorporated into the final rule and to implement them in 2016 and not wait until 2017. Patients should not wait another year for these modifications to occur; they need the ACA to work for them now."
Despite ongoing improvements that are applauded by the group, the coalition urged further action from HHS on the matter of discrimination and high patient cost-sharing for medications. While the notice from HHS declares that placement of most or all drugs for a specific condition on the highest cost tier constitutes discrimination, the coalition urges HHS to begin to enforce this and address other discriminatory barriers to care such as high co-insurance. The letter from the coalition also requests further regulatory guidance on what constitutes discrimination in the marketplace.
"The changes proposed by HHS contained in the proposed rule should have an immense and positive impact on patients' access to appropriate care," said Carl Schmid, Deputy Executive Director of the AIDS Institute. "We encourage Secretary Burwell to implement these positive proposals in a final rule immediately and enforce the law to end discriminatory practices."
Groups signing onto the letter include: The AIDS Institute, American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association, Colon Cancer Alliance, Easter Seals, Epilepsy Foundation, Lupus Foundation of America, National Alliance on Mental Illness, National Kidney Foundation, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and Parkinson's Action Network.

COBB COUNTY, Ga. -- The fate of a Brunswick teenager is now in the hands of a jury.
De'Marquise Elkins, 18, is on trial for the March 13 shooting death of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago in Brunswick.
Prosecutors say Elkins murdered the child after attempting to rob his mother, Sherry West.
Superior Court Judge Stephen Kelley moved the trial from Brunswick to Cobb County outside Atlanta because of heavy pretrial publicity.
Friday morning marked the trial's tenth day in session and began with closing arguments from the defense.
The state followed with its closing arguments before Kelley read instructions to the jury.
The jury is made up of 15 people total, but only 12 will deliberate a verdict.
Three people served as alternates.
Elkins' mother, Karimah Elkins, is also on trial on charges of lying to police and tampering with evidence.
The same jury will deliberate a verdict in her case.
First Coast News will have coverage on-air and online as soon as a verdict is reached.

Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Wed, 11/22/06, 03:57am:
Going Into The Game - of course, Livingston and Kaman are on all our minds. And while it was great to see Brand have a breakout game against Philly, hoping it's not an anomaly. Wondering how ugly our offense will look today. Matchup wise, interested in seeing Bynum-Kaman, Kwame-Kaman, how Odom is handled, and of course, whoever Dunleavy tasked with handling #24. You know that douchebag is gonna come in fired up for this game...
1st Half – both teams come out with the high energy / sloppy execution you'd expect in a high-intensity, physical rivalry game:
- Return of Kaman - Maybe all the press Bynum gets has served to motivate our resident headcase, because he finally showed some signs of life, first time this season – he was active on the boards, blocking shots, clogging the middle as only a legit NBA center can, and displaying the fluidity on offense we love. (Dude is bordering on graceful.) Ended the 1st half 2 for 6 but they were all very makeable FGs…
- Brand is Brand – it's clear recent lighter game schedule has helped him alot.
- Kobe – uh, gimme a f'in break this guy is unreal doesn't matter who guards him at this point - GG refs.
- Luke Walton – honestly… WTF? I've always liked his game but no way is he this good.
3rd Quarter - started off with us trading baskets and quickly devolved into a mess:
- WTF At Our Perimeter Defense - There was a 4-possesion stretch for the Lakers, beginning at the 7 minute mark, where they converted 3 three-pointers, running this "play": give Kobe the ball who dribbles near the elbow, have him wait for high-screen or slow Clipper double-team, pass to a now wide-open Odom or Smush (would be nice if Mobley or Cassell would switch or rotate in this spot), convert 3-ball. This was a critical period where the Lakers stretched their lead from 3 to 9.
- WTF at Our Substitutions – Feels like Dunleavy has a tendency to stay with lineups too long when they're not working. Mobley and Q were giving us nothing for the first half of the 3rd quarter. Livingston and Maggette get subbed in boom! We cut what had grown to a 13 point deficit back down to 9 at the end of the 3rd…
4th Quarter – down the stretch execution isn't there:
- Livingston is a Straight Up Baller - opening minutes of 4th quarter, we are riding Shaun - he's just converted 4 straight FGs, the last a 3 to tie it up with about 8 minutes to go. This stretch will go on the highlight reel his agent sends out to teams after he turns down a Clipper extension and waits for a max offer. Shaun ends up with a nice line for 20 minutes (9 points / 1 steal / 1 block / 1 TO), played great D, just looked confident and in control.
- Turnovers – whoah, 19 with 6 minutes to go…
- Kaman Fouls Out – but he had his first solid game of the season. Only 5-12 FG, but 12 / 10 / 4 blocks. I wonder what Kaman's + / - was tonight we just looked like a much better team with him on the floor.
- 3:00 Remain - Shot Selection Down the Stretch is Atrocious
- It's a 1-point
game, here's what we decide to run on the offensive end (Shaun / Q /
Maggette / TT / Brand on the floor)
- 2:58 – Post-up Corey against Luke Walton, drives baseline gets hungup under the basket, desperation layup / attempt to draw foul results in blocked shot
- 2:28 – Brand moving pick, TO #20
- 2:02 – Sam back in the game for Shaun. Passes to TT at top of key, swings it around to Q who drives towards the lane, finds what appears to be an open Maggette at the 3-point line, but Luke is all over that, deflects shot attempt, Brand gets the ball back misses baseline jumper
- 1:19 – Sam waits for Brand screen top of key, penetrates as defenders collapse, finds Q open for a 3, he nails it
- Laker offense update: they've scored a bunch we're down by 6 now
- 0:46
– Sam rushes ball down, passes to TT who finds Corey hanging out at the
3-point line, draws a foul with shots coming
- Corey manages to hit both FTs, cutting it to 4, only to moments later have a wide open Walton drain a 3 with 0:30 left, game over.
Looking at the box score, we see that we were outrebounded (-7 OFFREB, all Kwame), turned the ball over more (+6) and took way less free throws (whopping -25 for us). But, as is often the case with NBA games, merely noting "well, if we blocked out, took better care of the ball, and Kobe doesn't get to the line as much, we would've won" doesn't give you much. We shot 48% from the field. They shot 37%. Their OFFREB advantage is offset by the low FG% given up by our typical stellar D. And despite the TO differential, we had basically the same points off of TOs as the Lakers. Playoff-intensity NBA games involving intracity rivals have a way of even-ing themselves out near the end of regulation...
I realize this is reductive - but I think we all expected this to be close - no one was rolling over in the 1st game of this rivalry. To no one's surprise, it was up for grabs with 3 minutes left - the game slate is wiped clean and it's all about execution down the stretch. Our inability to give our best offensive players a chance to win for us is not an unfamiliar story, and we saw it last season. It's still early and there's a long way to go, but we can't afford to let games like this slip away in the manner we did.
Elite teams rarely do, and they find a way to win.

At almost every major sports event there will be commentators giving their opinions on the predicted winners, losers, or favorites. People tend to give commentators due credibility for their knowledge of the game and sometimes experience. For the layperson however it may be better not to give the event much thought. This is true when making predictions on your own. In a recent study, Dijksterhuis and colleagues (2009) asked participants to make predictions about random football matches two weeks prior to the event. Three groups were used in this investigation. Those who were asked to guess performed the worse. Those who were asked to think about their answers performed better. But the group that performed the best was the group who thought unconsciously.
One exception however is that making predictions unconsciously without prior knowledge is not recommended. The participants who performed the best in the investigation also perceived themselves as relatively knowledgeable. Those who made conscious decisions with relative knowledge are said to not give proper value to relevant information, hence why they performed worse. People who are essentially asked to guess tend to do worse overall. So next time there's a football, or sports match for that matter, it might be better to not give it much thought about whom will win.

The weather and the end result on the field were both unkind to the Price American Legion Baseball team in their 18-1 defeat to Highland on Friday evening at the USU Eastern baseball field.
About halfway through the game, a storm brought heavy rains and plenty of lightning sending the game into a delay of over 30 minutes.
While the game was not in question after the fourth inning, the Price players did not show any quit as they drove for groundballs on the wet infield making some nice plays despite the conditions.
Helper also had a game scheduled on Friday against East. Results from that game were not available at press time.
Price will travel to Hunter on Wednesday for their final game of the season.

The Defiant Ones
1958. USA. Stanley Kramer. 97 min.
Thursday, February 21, 2013, 1:30 p.m.
Theater 3 (The Celeste Bartos Theater), mezzanine, The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building
The Defiant Ones
1958. USA. Directed by Stanley Kramer. With Tony Curtis, Sidney Poitier, Theodore Bikel. In some ways a nearly forgotten artifact of the socially significant, serious school of Hollywood filmmaking, Kramer (1913–2001) cashed in on the struggle for racial equality, a nightly feature on television news, just as he would with nuclear war (On the Beach), the Holocaust (Judgment at Nuremberg), Biblical backwardness (Inherit the Wind), and interracial marriage (Guess Who's Coming to Dinner). Kramer was more of a savvy producer than a creative auteur, but he managed to get six Best Picture Oscar nominations, including one for The Defiant Ones. If he had not existed, someone would have had to invent him. 97 min.

|Grimm (F)
I was going to headline this post "Smash Is Certain To Be Canceled" to flatter the SEO gods one more time, but now that the NYT's Master Of The Obvious has written about NBC's ratings collapse and highlighted Smash my self dignity no longer allowed me to do that, whatever the cost in pageviews might be.
What isn't yet old news, is that all of NBC sitcom ratings have now plunged so far that the cancellation bear now thinks it likely that NBC will renew at least one (and probably more than one) sitcom that has hit as low as a 1.1 adults 18-49 rating this season. (Parks & Recreation and The Office being the only ones which have not).
But while the bear looks for an appropriate "Catch A Falling Knife" graphic for next week, he's backing away from predicting any particular NBC sitcom besides Parks & Recreation will be renewed and has moved the three sitcoms in the running for renewal to "toss up" for now, or at least until the bear can find some chain mail gloves.
The observant among you will note that Deception is now just "likely" not "certain" to be canceled. Incredibly, NBC ratings have fallen so far that its "steady" 1.2 rating last week tied the NBC scripted show average for the week. Expect that news to hit the NYT by next year.
Better to Follow The Bear, Than Be Chased By Him. This season you can follow the Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear. The Cancellation Bear will retweet all the Renew/Cancel Index post titles and links as well as engage in a little more back and forth banter than we do on our standard @TVbytheNumbers Twitter feed.
*shows no longer on the air have their Renew/Cancel Index "frozen" at the point they left the schedule.
From now through the end of the broadcast season in May, the Renew/Cancel Index values will only be calculated using new episodes airing during 2013. However, until new episodes of a show air in 2013, I will keep the "old" Fall predictions in the table.
Want to know what the NBC Renew/Cancel Index table looked like at the end of the Fall season? Click here.
- - certain to be cancelled by May, 2013
- :cry:- more likely to be cancelled than renewed by May, 2013
- - toss up between renewal or cancellation by May, 2013
- - more likely to be renewed than cancelled by May, 2013
- - certain to be renewed by May, 2013
The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show's new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It's calculated by dividing a show's new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show's own network. The network's average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ie. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.

text: Whether the electric utilities like it or not, more people are using solar energy for electricity than ever before. And they are saving money at the same time. A federal rulemaking about streamlining the process for connecting small solar energy supplies to the grid reveals the real issues: Solar is causing competition and utilities are slowing the policies that can lower consumer costs.

The U.S. Department of the Interior has issued new costly regulations regarding hydraulic fracturing, a process used in 90 percent of oil and gas drilling operations on public lands in this country.
The Obama Administration is forcing private companies drilling for oil and natural gas on public lands to disclose proprietary information about the chemicals used in the process. On Friday, the Department of the Interior (DOI) issued a rule first proposed in February which tightens federal regulations on hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, commonly known as fracing. The rule also sets new restrictions that DOI claims will protect against ground water contamination and air pollution.
Domestic oil and gas production has surged in recent years because technological updates have made it possible to access areas long believed to be depleted. So environmental groups hail the new fracing regulations as long overdue. "[DOI] first issued rules for fracing on public lands in 1982, but they have not been updated since 1988," said Earthworks senior staff attorney Bruce Baizel in a statement following his testimony before the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources. He maintains technological advances in the past two decades make these rules necessary to ensure public and environmental safety.
Yet the insinuation that drillers have operated relatively regulation-free in the more than 60-year history of hydro-fracing is absurd. In an address to the U.S. House of Representatives, Pennsylvania Republican Glenn Thompson defended fracing against this misconception explaining the process is governed by no less than eight federal laws, including the Clean Water Act and and the Clean Air Act. DOI also mentions in its economic analysis of the new rule the large number of state regulations holding drillers in check.

Hes run for president, governor, lieutenant governor, Congress, the state Senate, county Legislature and, decades ago as a Republican, was charged with taking a bribe.
When newly announced 21st Congressional District Democratic candidate Stephen W. Burke calls himself an old political warhorse, hes not just turning a phrase.
Mr. Burke, who in St. Lawrence County politics has twice been named county party chairman, has been elected to the Heuvelton Board of Education and the Macomb Town Council, has not been elected to the county Legislature but not for lack of trying, and has dipped his toe into a lot of political waters some tiny, some considerably larger.
But first, his brush with political infamy: in 1983, when he was a Republican Suffolk County committee member and a town of Brookhaven councilman, he was accused of taking a bribe to enable a business owner to get a favorable ruling in a zoning request. According to Newsday, Mr. Burke was arrested after he allegedly took a $6,000 down payment on a $12,000 bribe in a cemetery in the dark of night.
He was acquitted at trial, with a juror telling Newsday that the witnesses against Mr. Burke were not believable. Mr. Burke testified that the cash was a campaign contribution.
Later that year, he relocated to his property on Bishop Road in the town of Macomb and changed his registration to Democrat. He began raising beef and opened a small insurance brokerage.
He became involved with the Democratic Party, and in the winter of 1991, he became one of 32 candidates on the New Hampshire primary ballot for president. He spent two weeks campaigning there, but it wasnt enough; he finished with 39 votes and quickly abandoned his presidential campaign.
In 1992, Mr. Burke sought the Democratic nomination for the congressional seat being vacated by Rep. David OB. Martin, R-Morristown. He faced off against Margaret M. Ravenscroft, Rodman, and Daniel Francis, Watertown, in a September primary, and finished second with 3,455 votes to Mrs. Ravenscrofts 4,318.
Mr. Burke then received the Liberal Party endorsement for the seat, but in the November election finished a distant fourth, with 4,300 votes to John M. McHughs 116,254.
A couple of years later, in 1994, Mr. Burke tested the waters for a possible primary challenge to Democratic Gov. Mario M. Cuomo. When the St. Lawrence County Democratic Committee failed to endorse his effort, he decided against the challenge.
He did, however, seek and win that year the Democratic nomination to challenge state Sen. James W. Wright for the 46th District seat. In the three-way election that also featured Right to Life Party candidate Charles D. Savidge, Sen. Wright beat Mr. Burke 56,387 to 16,200.
Mr. Burke challenged Sen. Wright again in 1996, and did much better but by no means good enough, losing 56,094 to 26,694.
In 1998, Mr. Burke sought a seat on the St. Lawrence County Legislature against District 4 Legislator Alex A. MacKinnon. Mr. MacKinnon won, 1,143 to 665,
In 2002, Mr. Burke embarked on an effort to capture the nomination for state lieutenant governor, part of his effort to support the first gubernatorial candidacy of Andrew M. Cuomo. He lost to Dennis Mehiel at the state nominating convention, receiving 6.8 percent of the votes when he needed 25 percent to get on the primary ballot.
The party bosses have spoken, Mr. Burke told the Times, as he accused leaders of supporting Mr. Mehiels candidacy because of his money.
In 2010, Mr. Burke was elected to the Macomb Town Council.

Today every single device is getting 3D make over. We first get to see 3D display on multimedia screens and TV. Well in both cases they were received warmly. Smartphones also get treated for 3D display like in case of HTC Evo 3D and LG Optimus 3D. We have to admit 3D effect was just more than flashy gimmick and no smartphone with 3D display could rock the stage.
After big screens, TVs and Smartphones, Tablets were not going to escape through 3D spell. Some biggest tech companies introduced their tablets with 3D display. Some tablets needed glasses to see the 3D content and other don't.
Check below review on 3D tablets to get the idea about their 3D performance.
Let's talk about first 3D tablet of LG i.e Optimus Pad. For creating 3D looking environment in its display, tablet uses the technology called parallax barrier. This is the same technology that is usually used by Nintendo 3DS. With the help of this technology, if device is in right position, you can see the content in 3D. This LG tablet can show the content both in 2D and 3D as per your choice. The size of screen is 8 inches and having resolution of 1280 x 800. To be honest, its resolution is much lower than other android tablets available in market.
Well there is not detail information about its processor available in market. It does not come with 16GB internal memory, but you can enter your microSD of your choice. It supports Bluetooth and wireless keyboard too. The drawback is that this tablet does not come with latest android version, you have to upgrade yourself. The camera is just 2 mega pixels, which is lower than even average performance android phones but it can still give good performance if a professional video editing software is used.
The only unique thing about this 3D tablet is that you get to see 3D content to some extent. And good news is that as 3D quality is not up to bench mark, you can see your content in 2D too.
There are many other 3D tablets from different manufactures; neither of them got the best review. Users are confused about the 3D performance. Well thank God they are coming with 2D format too. Watching content on big screens in 3D is pretty different than watching on just 8 inch 3D screen. To be honest, these little devices are giving headache to users is first experience. As tablets are coming without 3D glasses, you have to position tablet in right for watching 3D content. Otherwise you will get headache due to blurry and unclear content which is neither 3D nor 2D.

The Museum of Lost Interactions
Graham Pullin asked his 3rd year students in Interactive Media Design in Dundee to engage with a history of interaction design that is much longer than that of digital electronics, and reflect on the social as well as technological changes that have taken place. They had to research Lost and Dead Media (cf. miss.gunst's post on the Found Tapes Exhibition and Zoe Irvine's Magnetic Migrating Music project) and build working models (using found objects and MaxMSP on iMacs) of fictitious historical products that might have been lost precursors to modern products and media. To underpin their authenticity, they filmed documentaries with archive film footage, and uncovered contemporary photography and packaging.
The result is the fabulous, quirky and poetic Museum of Lost Interactions (MoLI).
Examples (each of the projects deserves a post but i had to choose two of them. Some readers complain that i blog too much):
The Case Communicator, developed in 1936, was a laptop/PDA in a briefcase. This portable electronic workstation allowed male executives to get a 24/7 link to their secretary. Through the connection stream, the businessman is connected to the developers' switchboard where his personal 24 hour secretary is ready to fill his "every need" (news headlines, favourite music and schedule.) A project by Alison Thomson and Shaun McWhinnie.
Conceived at the beginning of the 70s, Pester (the Portable Enhanced System for Telecommunication Entertainment and Recreation) is the first smart phone. It contains a cassette player, camera and games as well as a phone.
Pester relied on a wired network using Connection Points positioned at convenient locations (parks, shopping centres and restaurants as well as regular sites along streets.) These Connection Points allowed callers to access an operator who could let them communicate with landline users, fellow Pester owners and also ...

Networked Theatre of the Oppressed
Second Life Theatre Group Meeting
Networked Theatre of the Oppressed :: First informal Second Life theatre group meeting in Bootlab Berlin :: Sunday February 6, noon (brunch time, 12.00 h) :: Tucholskystraate 6.
The dictatorship of the bourgoise melodrama stage has been an inspiration to living theatre, Brecht, Boal, and many. By combining the poetics of storytelling, digital narrative and network performing, the ghostly streets of Second Life become an open stage where the practice of everyday life becomes the raw material for political intervention thru classical drama, literature and net.art techniques. It is time for the triple alienation of the cyburbian multitudes!
Second Life's publicity is generated outside of the internet based on old media PR, circumventing the rest of the net. It is a newbie honeypot, or a themepark for cyberspace history most of all it is a "opera buffa" a theater of vulgarities, and shallow motivations, certainly more reality than what the cultural institution of the theatre has to offer today.
In our first 2 hour practise meeting we want to discuss possibilities of stage design, choreographic moves, myths and topoi, requisites and figurines, sketches of existing 3d datasets and scripting knowledge, we want to identify interesting text resources and invite people researching the field, detecting possibilities for a theater of net.art 2.0 etc. pp. not just revolting but playing with the zombie cybermyths of SL.
The Second Life can not be lived rightly...

Zombie Loop 2-channel video, 2006 - My new body of work, Horror Cycle concentrates on the manufacturing of fear as entertainment that the horror film genre accomplishes. Unlike contemporary horror films, this work offers no extreme violence, little gore, no character development, and zero plot. These are stripped away in order to highlight the protagonists and their dilemmas. The zombie, among other "undead" monsters, is the definitive horror creature thanks to its abject existence - robbed of identity, neither fully dead nor fully alive, neither clever nor resourceful, and driven only by its hunger for flesh. The central dilemma of the sub-genre of zombie films is that the survivor must outrun and therefore outlive the zombie. Victims turn into zombies, therefore to be caught and find oneself zombified is the most horrifying resolution. The sub-genre plots survivors on the move and ever vigilant, or temporarily holed-up and sleeping with one eye open. It is impossibly difficult to escape zombies, despite the fact that with little exception they move agonizingly slowly. Although it should be easy to escape them, the earliest victims are those paralyzed by their own fear. Zombie Loop is a two-channel video in which projections on two opposing walls position the viewer in the center of a visual loop, wherein a gruesome zombie endlessly pursues a running survivor. On screen, I "play" both zombie and survivor. The video tracks are the same length. The zombie, prepared with professional make-up and filmed from the front stumbles, expressionless but threatening, towards its goal of catching ...

OGDENSBURG Sitting in the spacious living room of his familys home in Ogdensburg, Breton LaRose spoke about how fortunate he feels to have the advantages hes enjoyed in life.
The Ogdensburg Free Academy senior said he feels lucky to grow up with a twin brother, Cavan, who shares in his love for athletics; to play three years of varsity basketball; and to play on two teams that included younger brother, sophomore Kinnon.
He also spoke about how fortunate he and his brothers, which include fourth sibling Brogan, are to grow up in a setting where the term homecourt takes on a literal meaning.
The ground floor of the family home contains the brothers bedrooms, a weight room, a computer room and a full length basketball court. The court is also the practice home for the teams of Maple City Youth Sports, which are directed by his father, Steve.
It has really been nice to play with my two brothers because we know where each other is all the time, Breton said. Really our whole team is like a team of brothers, we play really well together. Everyone makes good passes, and we all set solid screens to get each other open.
Right on cue, players began arriving for an evening pickup game.
The unending stream of pickup games and several years of action at AAU Tournaments helped the versatile LaRose develop into the Northern Athletic Conference MVP on the Times All-North Team.
LaRose, who owns a 95 average and plans to pursue a baseball career as a pitcher at Division I Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn., quickly made his mark on the varsity level. He drilled 11 3-point field goals in one game early in his sophomore season and netted 10 threes once in his junior season.
Growing to 6-foot-3 as a senior, LaRose prepared himself to take a more active role inside. Three games into the season, he was motivated to expand that role when Cavan suffered a torn ACL for a second straight season.
When Cavan got hurt again, I knew I would have to start rebounding and defending inside even more, said LaRose, who dedicated his interior play as a tribute to his brother who eventually made a second comeback and saw limited duty at the end of the regular season and in the postseason.
Revising his leadership package, Breton was a model of efficiency, averaging 18 points and nine rebounds per game and blocking 30 shots in 23 games. He also maintained his presence as a major perimeter threat, hitting 43 threes while combining with Kinnon (45 treys) and Matt Piercey (33 treys) in an offense that could vaporize opponents defensive schemes.
His complete package led the 21-2 Devils to an 18-game winning streak, a share of the NAC Central Division title with Malone at 11-1, the Section 10 Class B title, the Overall Section 10 crown, and an appearance in the state regional finals, where they fell to eventual state champion Watervliet.
The NAC Central coaches voted LaRose their MVP, and he received prestigious Joe Jukoski Memorial Award.
OFA coach Mark Henry said LaRose made the most of his opportunities and carried out his responsibilities.
Breton (LaRose) was a two-year captain and a three-year starter. He worked extremely hard to become the player that he became by his senior year, Henry said. He became a complete player. He is a great rebounder and defended very well in the post usually against bigger players.
While LaRose accepted bigger interior duties, his teammates used their chemistry to revise their roles. Sharing the ball and going through defensive rotations with trust, the Devils featured four All-NAC Central selections in Breton and Kinnon LaRose, Piercey and Pat Cosmo.
This team was a team-first group of student athletes and that started with Breton, Henry said. To me the most impressive individual statistic on Breton was that he shot 74 percent on 2-point field goals this year.
LaRose credits a lot his success to great family and community support and coaching.
I have received great support, and I have learned so much from my coaches starting with my dad, he said.
