TV 101: Five VERY SPECIAL EPISODES that saved society - VIDEOS
But how did we get here? What was the spark that spurred us from barely cognizant man-apes into the enlightened, elegant creatures that we are today? Look no further than that great black monolith sitting in your living room: your TV. Five VERY SPECIAL EPISODES that saved society after the jump...
Before we begin, it's important for you to understand that the following are not just episodes, they are very special episodes. And while some cynics might say that only people like Sara Goldfarb actually listen to their televisions, I say to you that the world we live in is shaped by these episodes. Society grows in leaps and bounds and those leaps and bounds are measured by very special episodes of Blossom. You cynics can post your comments elsewhere; this article is about celebration.
Episode: Kimberly Drummond's hair turns green on Diff'rent Strokes.
Result: The environment is cleaned up.
It was the kind of beauty tip that you often hear teenage girls give each other (before the police make you leave the mall): wash your hair in the rain and it'll never look better! But in 1982, audiences were not treated to the sight of Kimberly's hair shimmering in the summer sun; instead they got a glimpse of the horrors of acid rain. Kimberly's hair turned green!
Though there had never once been a bit of scientific evidence that acid rain could do that sort of thing, people were worried. "Could my hair turn green because of acid rain? We should really do something about this!"
The nation mobilized. Polluters were shut down or taxed into oblivion and new, clean fuels were developed by scientists. Within five years of the episode's airing, Mother Earth was well on its way to a full recovery.
To this day, the environmental movement is named the "Green" movement, a quiet nod to where it all began.
Diff'rent Strokes - Green Hair
Episode: ReRun bootlegs a Doobie Brothers's concert.
Result: America learns it's WRONG to steal music.
In 1978, ReRun was your typical high school student: morbidly obese with a penchant for joining cults. When he was approached by shady characters to illegally tape a Doobie Brothers concert, however, he made a stupid, silly blunder and agreed. When Taking it to the Streets started he lost himself in dance, which led to the unthinkable happening: the gigantic cassette recorder given to him to tape the concert fell on the floor for the entire world to see.
The Doobie Brothers, unlike every other touring rock band before or since, performed each night without any kind of lighting for the stage. Thus, when the compact-car-sized cassette recorder fell on the concert hall's floor, the Doobie Brother's stopped their show in shock!
We, the viewing audience, were left to worry during the entire commercial break that ReRun would face the standard punishment for illegally recording concerts -- death by flaying -- but luckily for everyone, the Doobie Brothers showed restraint. It wasn't ReRun they wanted, but the shady characters who abused ReRun's trust.
The combination of humanity and humility that the Doobie Brothers showed in the face of such betrayal proved to America that any kind of illegal sharing of music was undeniably evil.
We're left today with a music industry that's stronger than ever. Though, in theory, the internet might allow "file sharing" of "illegal music", not a single person anywhere will engage in it. We have What's Happening to thank for that.
To this day, music aficianados are heard to be "lighting a doobie", which is an "in-term" meaning "to purchase a compact disc at its full retail price".
Episode: Jason Bateman decides to NOT lose his virginity on Valerie.
Result: Unwanted teenage pregnancies drop to zero.
When old family friend Lori shows up at the Hogans' residence to look at colleges, she has her heart (and her groin!) set dearly on getting down with David Hogan. She offers herself to him but, though prepared with a condom purchased earlier that day, David is able to resist his more primal urges: he decides to "wait" until he's "ready."
Wait until he's ready! It's a standard phrase among teenage boys today, but at the time it was revolutionary. This episode taught both boys and girls that the sex drive, thought until that point to be deeply ingrained into our DNA thanks to 500 million years of evolution, could be easily overcome just by "deciding". Sex was not an imperative, pushed onto us by a biology that makes it more pleasurable than any other physical act, it was a choice you made when you were ready to make it.
Teenagers everywhere stopped having sex overnight. The drop in unwanted pregnancies freed up resources for other endeavors which lead directly to both our permanent base on Mars and our brand new manned observatory orbiting Venus. Mars and Venus: seems a little appropriate, doesn't it?
And, as an added benefit: the biological restraint shown by David spilled over to adults as well. No longer did we have turn red with embarrassment as our politicians gave in to their baser needs. No, the biological drive is easily conquerable and the last 20 years have born that out.
The only downside? The condom industry was crippled by people's realization that sex was entirely a choice.
Thankfully, the manufacturers found a new outlet for their latex wonders, with men everywhere getting "blowjobs": or the fun job of blowing up a condom to hang as a decoration at an abstinence party. The trend became so popular that even a president and governor or two got into the act.
Episode: The first prime-time lesbian kiss occurs on Roseanne.
Result: All gay prejudice disappears.
Roseanne and Jackie were having the time of their lives at a lesbian bar until guest star Mariel Hemingway, overcome by Roseanne's carnal charisma, planted a delicious lesbian kiss on her.
Before the episode aired, many people were outraged. Conservative groups protested the existence of lesbians (The Heritage Foundation considered lesbians a mythical product of left-wing propaganda); gay-rights groups saw the episode less about furthering their cause than about garnering the increasingly unstable star some easy publicity; and porn-rights activists demanded it be hotter women kissing. It was quite the quagmire.
Luckily, the episode had immediate and far reaching consequences. The morning after -- Rainbow Wednesday, it was called -- lesbians and gays got their first taste of true acceptance.
See, before 1994, homosexuality was viewed as a choice, something that kids "claimed" to "be feeling" so they could get "attention" (e.g. intense bullying, suicide-inducing alienation, hatred from their conservative parents, etc.) After that kiss, however, homosexuality was seen for what it actually was: just one of the many colors on the human rainbow.
Thanks to the efforts of Roseanne and her sitcom, lesbianism is now so accepted by mainstream society that there are literally thousands of websites devoted to promoting it!
Episode: Jessie Spano becomes addicted to caffeine pills on Saved by the Bell.
Result: America wins the war on drugs; homelessness cured.
You look at a cup of coffee and see your morning friend. Jessie Spano sees the face of a killer. Desperately enslaved to her many commitments, Bayside High's resident Type-A decided she needed a little pick-me-up. Her drug of choice? No, not coke or meth or speed -- caffeine pills.
While many people thought the choice of caffeine pills was a lame one (seeing as how there isn't a single recorded case anywhere in the history of the universe of any kind of kid at any time getting addicted to caffeine pills), it turned out to be a stroke of genius. Kids were tired of seeing real drugs depicted in their educational programming; what they craved was seeing the effect of a pretend drug that couldn't hurt you. The producers of Saved by the Bell heard their call and responded.
As word spread of the episode, kids from towns all over America took their needles and their hash pipes, their eight balls and their water bongs, and threw them into the trash, where they were found by enterprising hobos and turned into street art. In one fell swoop, two of the nation's worst problems -- drug abuse and homelessness -- were solved as drugs were suddenly uncool and the former paraphernalia of drug users (twisted into roughly beautiful sculptures) were being scooped up by the bourgeois. It was win-win for everybody.
The money America saved on the drug war was poured, naturally, into scientific ventures. This sped up our knowledge gathering and, in 2005, America stumbled blissfully into Ray Kurzweil's predicted Singularity. Now we live forever in a state of eternal bliss.
Thanks to Jessie Spano and the producers of Saved by the Bell, the term "getting high" still exists, but all it means is that "you're so excited and you just can't hide it."

NCW Chief seeks stern action against Tarun Tejpal
National Commission for Women (NCW) Chief, Mamta Sharma on Tuesday sought stern action against founder and former editor of investigative magazine Tehelka,Tarun Tejpal, who has been in judicial custody over allegations of sexually assaulting his woman colleague, a case that went viral and turned the focus back on crime against women.
The chairperson of NCW said the panel was waiting for the court's decision to take further action, pressing for harsh punishment she added he should not be given VIP treatment.
"After the suo moto cognizance we did not close this case. We were waiting for the court's verdict so we did not pursue it. Now that the chargesheet has been filed against him, we will close the case. I want that he should be treated like a common man and should not get a VIP treatment. He should be brought to book and if at all denies accusation filed against him, in that case he must prove his innocence, she said
The Goa High Court today deferred the bail plea hearing of Tejpal till March 4.
Police in coastal province of Goa filed chargesheet Tarun Tejpal under new Criminal Law Act.
Tejpal, 50, was accused of sexually assaulting a junior woman colleague, twice, in a hotel elevator during a conference in Goa in November last year. The victim had also accused Tejpal's family members of trying to intimidate her.
The chargesheet was submitted by the crime branch on Monday before judicial magistrate that would be later handed over to district and sessions court.
Tejpal will now have to face toughened amended laws on sex crimes and if proven guilty, he can be sentenced for more than seven years of imprisonment.

| Birmingham -- Now that officials with Region 2020 and a Massachusetts-based consulting firm have released their long-awaited arts and cultural master plan for Birmingham/central Alabama, volunteers are needed to serve in different groups to help attain the plan's goals. Priority areas include facilities, funding, technical assistance and neighborhood education.
"The success of the master plan depends on all of us," said Kate Nielson, president of The Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham. "This important work cannot be done without the continued involvement of citizens and arts organizations." Nielson is co-chairing the arts and cultural master plan implementation process.
Those interested in volunteering should contact Elizabeth Sims at Region 2020.
After nearly a year of research, public hearings and facilitated group meetings, Boston-based consultants Wolf, Keens and Company released their findings and laid out arts and cultural needs for the 12-county Birmingham region. Among the needs found in the report: increased funding for arts organizations, more cooperation between arts groups and local and state government and more minority participation in the arts.
| Birmingham -- In the last ten months, there have been several public hearings and meetings - complete with facilitators - to discuss the details of a regional arts and cultural master plan. At the meetings, hosted by Region 2020, participants -- many of them leaders in arts organizations statewide -- discussed specific problems and possible solutions in the Birmingham area arts community.
At the outset of the arts and culture master plan discussion a year ago, civic leaders and residents showed up for an initial presentation and a chance to speak up about future plans. The open house broke ice between the consultants and the arts community. Some people in attendance told the panel that only a select few wield much of the community power and control with regard to money and publicity. A vast amajority called the initial step toward a master plan a constructive beginning with much to do.
Organizers say the final report, released at the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham annual meeting, mirrors what's been discussed in the past year. They also say many of the community concerns are addressed in the master plan.

This past week, I received questions from a couple partners regarding their current clients who are licensed for Windows SBS 2011 through the Services Provider License Agreement (SPLA) and what should they order now and for how long. After conveying the information back to them, I received a simple request asking where the information is posted so that they could share it with their fellow partners and with their clients to see. Because of this, I thought I would post it here on my blog for all of you to see, so you could have this information and its location as well.
If you download the FAQ linked above, you will find the following within it:
The SPLA subscription program rule is if a partner was licensing a particular product at the time it was removed from the SPUR/Price List, they can continue licensing/ordering that product/SKU until the earlier of: a) they migrate to the newer version; or b) their SPLA agreement expires and is renewed.
If I have Windows SBS 2011 Premium Add-on in SPLA when Windows Server 2012 Essentials is released, what do I order?
If I have Windows SBS 2011 Standard Edition in SPLA when Windows Server 2012 is released, what do I order?

The Serengeti is the best known safari destination in the world with good reason
The Serengeti is the best known safari destination in the world with good reason. Even if you exclude the Wildebeest Migration with its 1.5 million odd animals, the proliferation of animal life in the Serengeti defies belief. In the company of a good guide, this can be like stepping into a wildlife documentary. We'd advocate building your safari in northern Tanzania around the greater Serengeti, but you do need to be aware that being in the right place at the right time is everything in this neck of the woods. Find out when the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration happens.
We'd caution against wasting your time by going to the major tourist traps like the Central Serengeti where the big lodges (and attendant traffic) are. We'd also challenge the conventional wisdom on seasonality. For example, provided you plan your visit carefully (and again, the guide is critical here) a few days exploring the southern Serengeti plains and Ndutu in the dry season can be a great counterpoint to time in the north with the migration. Equally, parts of the Serengeti are at their best during April and May when many people would write the place off as out of season. Read more about the formation of the Serengeti Plains.
The Serengeti is bordered by the Ngorongoro Crater and Highlands and Great Rift Valley to the east, and to the West by Lake Victoria. The main park, which covers around 15,000 sq km, is drained to the west by three main rivers, the Mara, Mbalageti and Grumeti River, which exits through the Serengeti Western Corridor. This area forms only a part of the whole Serengeti-Mara ecosystem, which extends to the surrounding game reserves; Maswa to the southwest, Grumeti and Ikorongo controlled areas to the west, Loliondo to the east and the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya to the north.

Areas of specialty
- Insect biochemistry and molecular biology
- Insect cuticle synthesis and sclerotization
- Insect multicopper oxidases
I work with Dr. Michael Kanost in exploring how insects make their cuticle (exoskeleton). Our main focus is on the proteins present in the cuticle and how they differ between cuticle that is hard versus cuticle that is flexible. We are also interested on how the cuticular proteins may be cross-linked together to help stabilize the cuticle (a process known as sclerotization). One important enzyme in this process is laccase, a member of the multicopper oxidase (MCO) family. Many insects have multiple MCO genes and their physiological functions are unknown but likely extend beyond sclerotization. Understanding how the insect cuticle is made may lead to the development of novel biomimetic materials with applications in the medical and materials industries.

Fish Likes Being
USAs Number One Player
Fish is comfortable in his role as the American number one, but it has
also made him very aware of how well Andy Roddick carried the flag for
so long.
"Well, it's
been a little while now," he said. "It feels like and it certainly is
different than my past being the third or fourth or 10th American at
times. There is not nearly as much pressure."
Trying to Avoid Beating Last Year
Djokovic is dealing with the pressure of trying to repeat what he
achieved in 2011 by treating it as just another season.
"To be
honest, I'm not really comparing 2012 with 2011. I'm not comparing any
year with another year, because I think year is different," he said
after beginning the defense of his Dubai Duty Free Championships title.
Was Oh So Close
Federer came within just one week of equaling Pete Sampras reign of 286
weeks as world number one. So close and yet so far, does it keep him
awake at night? It appears not.
"It doesnt
come to my mind," he said. "It would be great having that record, but my
life is very much okay without it too. Petes a good friend of mine and
he was an amazing champion for our game, and I dont need to break every
record he has."
Chang Says He Has
Been Trying to Help Basketball Player
Chang has revealed that he has offered advice to New York Knicks point
guard Jeremy Lin, who has been taking the NBA by storm, helping him deal
with the pressures and media attention that came his way.

Speed of passing remains key for Arsène Wenger's sideJune 6, 2010 at 10:00 am | Posted in Arsenal | 31 Comments
Tags: 2009/10, Analysis, Arsène Wenger, Arsenal
Despite seeing his side outclassed at Camp Nou last season, technical efficiency and movement remains Arsenal's forte.
Theo Walcott apparently personifies the stereotypical anatomy of English football; that of "kick and rush." All running and no brain he is, according to Chris Waddle. His exclusion from the England squad indicates that Fabio Capello is looking for a more methodical approach which, in all likelihood, may see the Three Lions revert back to the rigidness and "organised muscularity" that has been both the bane and brilliance of England during the years.
Theo Walcott does have his fans however with Brazil's World Cup winning captain in 1970, Carlos Alberto* picking out the winger-come-striker as the type of player who can offer his team a direct outlet to break from the compactness and short passing likely to be displayed by many teams in the World Cup.
Speed will not beat brains – but it is increasingly about teams having the balance of the two. Speaking of Zinedine Zidane, director of Real Madrid Jorge Valdano said the Frenchman's "advances are slow but his decisions are agile." What Valdano means is that, in a rapidly moving game, what set him apart was his speed of thought and execution. Indeed analysts at the German Sport University Cologne found that the essence of European football nowadays is speed: players are running more (an average of 10 kilometres, 6.2 miles per game) and the ball is circulating quicker therefore decisions need to be made in a snap (the deepest midfielder is typically in possession of the ball for an average of less than one second per contact). At particular moments of Hiddink's reign and in the second half of this season, Micheal Ballack has been preferred to the more cumbersome Jon Obi Mikel and indeed, German coach Joachim Löw will need to find a solution to his captain's efficient distribution following his injury. (The finding from the university helped shape Löw's Euro 2008 tactics and one such ploy was to force opposing wingers inside to the compact block – a tactic which is increasingly prevalent in Europe).
Ruud Gullit waxed lyrical about Wesley Sneijder's technical efficiency during the Champions League final, effusively highlighting that Sneijder rarely touches the ball twice in attacking movements and always finds the opportunity to make quick first-time passes to stretch opposition defences. Paul Simpson, editor of Champions magazine, in contrast analysed opponents Bayern Munich's sloth-like decision-making – this coming from the side who's rapid interchange of the ball from left to right – with ten men – brutally tired Lyon into submission in the semi-finals. "The only way to beat Inter was to attack them at speed – by that I don't just mean physical pace but the speed with which the ball travels – and Bayern's players sometimes took seven touches before passing," wrote Paul Simpson.
Speed of passing is not lost on Arsène Wenger also who has always modelled his sides on being mobile and technically above the rest. However, despite seeing his side outclassed in that respect by Barcelona's magicians, Wenger still remains committed to sticking with his philosophies. "Both sides like to play a quick passing game," he said when discussing the scant positives of the 6-3 aggregate defeat.
The changes in season 2009/10 had sought to make his side more dynamic which, while on the whole have worked, the degree of its effectiveness has been severely affected by injuries and inexperience hindering decision-making and tactical awareness so crucial to the system. In particular, the attacking momentum seemed to suffer with the loss of key forwards – chiefly Robin van Persie (although you can also put a big case forward for Nicklas Bendtner too).
Wenger sees van Persie in the Marco van Basten type mould, having seemingly revised his Dennis Bergkamp type comparisons only the season before. The statistics indicating to him was that van Persie was more suited to making quick decisions higher up the pitch rather than in the hole where he would occasionally take that split second longer, anticipating for the movement he essentially should be at the end of. "Technical superiority can be measured," said Wenger in Total Youth Football Magazine in 2008. "If I know that the passing ability of a player is averaging 3.2 seconds to receive the ball and pass it, and suddenly he goes up to 4.5, I can say to him, 'Listen, you keep the ball too much, we need you to pass it quicker.' If he says 'no', I can say look at the last three games – 2.9 seconds, 3.1, 3.2, 4.5. He'll say, 'People around me don't move so much!' But you have the statistics there to back you up, too." Former Arsenal midfielder, Stewart Robson is in agreement also: "The key to Arsenal playing well, being penetrative and dynamic, is when players turn on the ball," says former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson. "When they've got their back to goal, suddenly they turn and look to play the next ball forward. Van Persie is brilliant is that, he can turn and run with the ball. He makes goals, he scores goals and with that left foot he is a constant threat."
In midfield, Alex Song carries the same get-and-give efficiency that convinced Wenger to splash out on Gilberto Silva after the 2002 World Cup while love him or hate him, Abou Diaby's transition from defence to attack will be a key weapon in years to come. But much still depends on captain Cesc Fabregas' influence and whose tug of war with his heart-strings Arsenal must win. The notion that he will not get into the Barcelona side is wrong as there is not a more penetrative central midfielder in world football as Cesc Fabregas (although he is at the moment not Pep Guardiola's first choice recruit).
Certainly with the uncertainty surrounding Fabregas' future and Marouane Chamakh's arrival, much anticipation surrounds the way Arsenal will line-up next season. Chamakh could certainly slot into the right side of the three-pronged attack although it is not his best position while a popular move would be to push Andrey Arshavin behind the main forward to boost penetration should Fabregas not remain. "You see that a guy never loses the ball, so you look at the number of times he passes the ball forward," says Arsène Wenger. "You can get to the point where you can say, 'I prefer the one who loses the ball a bit more but tries to play it forward.'" Wenger is adamant, however, that the Russian's one-on-one skills aid the team better on the flanks.
Nevertheless, just as Carlos Alberto saw key earlier on, how Arsène Wenger sets out his side next season will just as much be about a team which produces his love for endless triangular passing as the ability to break away from such intricate patterns.
*Correction: The initial draft highlighted Carlos Alberto Parreira as commenting on Theo Walcott's usefulness. That indeed was actually Carlos Alberto, former Brazil captain.
**NB: With the World Cup approaching, the blog will be switching its attention to matters regarding the tournament, providing analysis and features, and where relevant, an Arsenal focus. Stay tuned!

Wonderfull blog. Its great to read quotes from Wenger. To read about the intricacies and dynamics of football really gives some perspective of how complicated it is. Perhaps those who criticise Wenger so often are unaware of this. Its not an easy job, not by a long shot. The man is brilliant, end of.

Great article well put together. Nice change from the ramblings of other Internet blogs. Keep up the good work!
Comment by Dan— June 6, 2010 #
Totally agree, and it's even more important when we play teams that pack the box. Generally I feel we move the ball on well, but when teams play 2 banks of four in front of the box we have a tendency to play slow 5 yard passes along the edge of the box. Keeping possession is of course beneficial in such situations but it doesn't mean that it should be at the expense of directness. It particularly annoys me to see Denilson for instance receive the ball, turn, take a touch and then pass it straight on to the nearest player 5 yards away in those types of games, often opening up his body and making the intended recipient of the pass very obvious. Of course Denilson's not the only culprit, but he's symptomatic of the problem at our club.
I accept that it's not easy to pass your way through teams who employ 8 men in the box, but we need to see a bit more spreading of the play to flanks (I think we lack a player who can hit quick, accurate diagonal balls) and quick interchanges. It's frustrating to see players pass the buck in those sorts of matches, and we get them quite often.

Good analysis brain.i think our passing last season was at times brilliant especially when rvp,cesc and AA were on the same wavelength earlier in the season.as you've pointed out rvp is essential to this since he distributes the ball very well in that false nine role but when he got injured our attacks slowed down and we wasted counter attacks on many occasions.if we can get back to passing invincibles/07-08 mode i believe very few teams can handle our attack since they won't have anytime to regroup when we are on the attack.id also love to see the 3/4 touch counter attacks again…
Comment by K-TR7— June 6, 2010 #
Good point in regards to the way arsenal play,however i think when playing the likes of chelsea and man u we should change the game plan,against the other teams our normal game should be fine.Against chelsea we could go the Mourinho way.I think getting nothing less than six points from chelsea and man u, i.e home and away could see us win the league.

4-1-3-2 for next season or a 4-4-2 with the midfield lining up in a diamond, pretty much the same thing. Its time to convert Walcott into a main striker. Based on our current squad and leaving out the out of contract players (Gallas, Senderos, Silvestre, Campbell and Gilbert) here are three possible line ups based on 4-1-3-2 (I think it clearly shows where our weaknesses lie (Goalkeeper and Centre Half)
Sagna, Djourou, Vermaelen, Clichy
Nasri, Fabregas, Arshavin
RVP, CHamakh
Eboue, Nordveit, Bartley, Gibbs
Ramsey, Diaby, Rosicky
Bendtner, Eduardo
Coquelin, Hoyte, Miguel, Traore
Wilshere, JET, Lansbury
Walcott, Vela
However, I maintain that by selling the unhappy Fabregas(replacing him with YAYA and Chygriskiy and the cash to buy Gourcuff) we would then only need 3 more players a new keeper (Green) with Fabianski joining West Ham on loan, Kosicielney (Coquelin/Traore going to Lorient on loan) and J Cole on a free, total spend about £13m and would look like this
Sagna, Chygriskiy, Vermaelen, Clichy
J Cole, Gourcuff, Arshavin
RVP, CHamakh
Eboue, Kosicelney, Djourou, Gibbs
Nasri, Diaby, Rosicky
Bendtner, Eduardo
Eastmond, Nordveit, Bartley, Botelho
Wilshere, Ramsey, Lansbury
Walcott, Vela
All of a sudden the squad looks much strengthened right down to the 3rd choice line up
Comment by bc— June 6, 2010 #
I would be more inclined to play a 4-2-3-1 type next year.
I know some may argue this is kind of what wedo anyway but I would prefer the "2" in front of the back 4 to consist of 2 true DM's. Song would be one and the other either a purchase (Melo?) or perhaps allow Eastmond to develop here as he looks to have the tools for the job. I haven't cited Denilson here because I just do not feel he has the discipline nor the work rate.
This would not necessarily affect our quick passing game either as the players mentioned are technically good. I just feel that this would give us better protection and we'll still have the fab 5 of Cesc, Nasri, Arshavin, VP and Chamakh. With the likes of Rosicky, Walcott, Vela to come in from the squad.
We've concede so many on the break this year that having 2 disciplined DMs would make us a more solid defensive unit especially in the big games.
Something like this?
Sagna Djourou Vermaelen Clichy
Song Eastmond
Nasri VP Arshavin
Chamakh for Nasri/VP. Bendtner for Nasri/Chamakh/VP
Reasonably decent squad I feel for next year
Comment by monty— June 6, 2010 #
Against chavs and mancs we missed rvp alot.rvp makes very wise decisions in a split second which makes our attacks flow faster.at oldtrafford we were brilliant since rvp contributed alot.in both chav games and mancs we looked slow upfront since when rvp is out we have no player that can replicate his abilities in that false nine role.when the ball is played quickly its almost irresistable to defend.in 07-08 when we beat the chavs at the grove we played the ball so fast that they couldn't handle it and i think with the right personell we can do it.it would help too if we eliminated tactical naivety in defence especially vermy…
Comment by K-TR7— June 6, 2010 #
What a brilliant article. May we have more of this kind that explains more on the technical aspects of our beloved team. Sure we really need players with pace & the football brain or Wenger should try harder & instill better decision making skills to his trusted players.
Comment by jamhurigunner— June 6, 2010 #
is it possible to cite some of the quotes in the blog? thanks
Comment by rd— June 6, 2010 #
Brain i think thats the whole problem.our defence needs coordination that we had in our cl run.its more about a cohesive system nowadays as a system is more important than the individuals in it.you could say it is naive of us to let vermy get so tight against top players like messi,drogba who turn him too easily.anyway we need better coordination in defence since individually we have superb defenders.
Comment by K-TR7— June 6, 2010 #
Exactly, individually we have very good defenders. And a major part of improving our defensive coordination will be through getting a better keeper.
Comment by Carlton— June 6, 2010 #
Good article!
Don't you think playing a front 3 of RVP, Chamakh and Arshavin would mean the players have to press a lot to maintain the balance? Given our injury worries, I don't think we will be able to sustain it throughout the season. I think the back 4, Song and the other CM, Fabregas, Arshavin and RVP are all certain starters. That leaves only one spot which hasn't been nailed down by anyone convincingly to warrant a starting place. So, it will probably be the same 4-3-3 with Chamakh/Nasri/Theo/Rosicky filling the vacant wing position.
Do you think the 4-4-2 or any other formation for that matter would be better suited than the 4-3-3?
Comment by kv— June 6, 2010 #
Kv i think aw will play a front two but AA will be a free role player.aw said chamakh won't play out wide but centrally and we know rvp will play central.i expect him to tweak our formation abit to make our pressing more effective and chamakh is very good at that.our first wave of pressure is easily broken through exposing us in counter attacks.
Comment by K-TR7— June 6, 2010 #
May be something similar to the asymmetrical 4-2-3-1 that Barcelona played is on the cards. But I think Chamakh and RVP will play on the same line, so it cannot be termed a 4-2-3-1. The winger on the right(if Arshavin plays on the left) will have to be defensively aware and someone like Nasri or even Diaby is ideal. Cesc and Song can play in the middle. This is what I mean:
It comes out to be a lop sided 4-4-2! RVP, Arshavin and Cesc will have the complete freedom to make play in this set up. What do you think?
Comment by kv— June 6, 2010 #
Kv i think its something close to that.it will be difficult to ascertain since formations are just diagrams the press use.slaven Bilic said nowadays formations are jurt used in giving team shape in defence .10men have to work on and off the ball alot.this new formations(4 band formations) are made to maximise the ground to be covered but in actual sense there are some very fine details you can't represent on a diagram.am sure aw is looking at it critically and i reckon we will play something similar to what you've represented.in all aw teams the left is the more creative while the right more defensive.everything depends on signings so fingers crossed.
Comment by K-TR7— June 6, 2010 #
Chamakh will either play as a right winger or as a central striker. Basically he and Bendtner will alternate on the right wing, where they will go more for the center of the box than Arshavin who has licence to roam but certainly will try to penetrate defences more from the side. The right winger will sometimes enter the box to try to go for crosses from Sagna or from van Persie having switched positions. All this will be similar to this season.
The big thing for me is to get the midfield balance better fixed. Diaby must hold back his advances much more and stay close to Song to shield our defences. We will have to sacrifice a little bit of offensive pressure in order to concede fewer goals. Abou's improvement this season is hopeful and I think he can do the job. Barcelona has played with Keita instead of Iniesta due to the necessity of having two strong defensive midfielders on the pitch.
Comment by Joakim Löf— June 6, 2010 #
I think we need to say a forward is a forward not a winger.part of the reason the 4-3-3 is so good offensively is because it ought to have 3 forwards not wingers.when we play wingers it is a 4-5-1.i hope we can get that balance right thou and id advocate for a flamini type player next to song especially against top opposition until diaby learns about defensive discipline.against park the bus teams we can unleash diaby.

I like to link exchange with blog you, if you interest please link with my blog http://zonaleague.com/watch/
Comment by gadis— June 7, 2010 #
Good piece, however from what I see, this only concerns passing when the team wants to attack, what about when the team wants to defend? Whilst having quicker passing in attack helps catch the opposition out, slower passing when defending can help the team organize and take a breather. Barcelona are key at doing this, they will blitz to a lead, then slow the game down, and then pick and choose when to speed it up when the opposition begins chasing the game.
I get agitated when we are even 2-0 up and we keep going for more goals and passing quick, we should slow the game down, the team focusses far too much on attack, apply the reverse ideology to passing and it makes it a bit easier to defend, re-organize and not expend energy all the time.
This then involves all players making proper movement, not having our CB's passing short to Song all the time because Clichy and Sagna have already galloped up, or forcing Gallas/Vermaelen to go long to keep attacking.
Comment by Croyance— June 7, 2010 #
Speed of passing is a strange myth. Efficient teams dictate the tempo of the game, not the other way round. Case in point: Barcelona. Of more importance is a. better pressing b. off-theball movement c. conserving energy.
You do make valid points, nevertheless.

Fleetwood heads quarters at NSW Amateur
BY Anthony Powter | Australian Mens Amateur Tour | 2010 New South Wales Amateur | Matchplay Round Two | 01 Feb 2010
England's Tommy Fleetwood continues to display the form that has seen the world number 16 claim three major international titles in as many years, progressing to the final eight at the NSW Amateur Championship being played at Royal Sydney.
Fleetwood, winner of the 2009 Scottish Open Amateur and a quarter-finalist at last year's British Amateur, accounted for Monash's Andrew Thompson during today's second round.
Fleetwood is set to encounter Jin Jeong in Wednesday's quarter-final, a match that is sure to be a stern test for the Englishman, with Jeong already experiencing victory this year winning the Boroondara Cup in Victoria last month.
Luke Henwood will meet Luke Humphries in the other quarter-final in the bottom half, after Henwood accounted for Matt Stieger, 1-up. Humphries progression to their match was a little easier winning his second round match against Theo Coroneo, 5&4.
In the upper-half of the draw, Brett Drewitt ended Michael Williams' runs at the championship, defeating the 2010 NSW Medal Champion and number 1 qualifier, 1-up in their second round match.
Drewitt will meet Patrick Wilson in the first quarter-final, after Wilson's 2-up win over Kyle Grant.
The last quarter-final match will see Alex Pitty against Jake Higginbottom, with Higginbottom advancing with a 4&3 win over Scotland's, Fraser Fotheringham. Pitty accounted for Jamie Hook, 4/2 to set up his match against Higginbottom.

Intention is Everything (or, The Economy of Passion).

I used to explain to Protestant friends that a novena is like a public radio pledge drive of prayer: of course, your local station would love for you to contribute at any time, but every so often they set aside several days to pester you about it. A novena is a dedicated time of prayerful pestering.
During a period when I had a lot of discerning to do, I used to use novenas frequently. It got to the point where I would sometimes receive an answer to my prayer almost immediately after I had formed the intention of praying a novena–even before I had actually prayed it.
I have come to believe that intention is everything in spiritual practice. It trumps technique, and it is more central, more vital than any altered states of mind we may experience. It is more key to spiritual advancement than any specific exercise or sacrament, and it is more powerfully influential in prayer than what we say or how we say it. And I will go so far as to say that the primary purpose of spiritual practice is to sharpen and focus our intention.
Now, I'm not advocating some kind of The Secret-esque "law of attraction" that will "manifest" what we want in the world if we manage our thoughts and feelings properly. But I am suggesting that if we sharpen our intention, two things will follow:
- Our moment-to-moment choices, both conscious and unconscious, will be more in line with our deepest desires. We will be less likely to "trade in what we want most for what we want now," as a colleague puts it, if we have, through practice, kept our true intentions within our awareness. As Gerald May put it, "All our choices reflect an economy of passion: how we decide to invest ourselves in what we care about. Large and small, we make thousands of such choices every day."
- God will honor our desires more abundantly as they become more focused. "Delight in the Lord," says the Psalmist, "and he will give you your heart's desire." (Ps. 37:4) I used to think this was a kind of Catch-22, like Henry Ford's promise that you could have your Model T in any color you wanted as long as it was black. But I have come to realize that our true "heart's desire" is, in fact, the Lord–everything else is something we have been duped into believing we desire. The more focused our intentions, the less divided our loyalties between God and what the Bible calls "the World," and the Upanishads call maya. "Come near to God," says the Letter of James, "and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded." (Ja. 4:8) Or as Jesus Himself put it, "No one can serve two masters." (Mt. 6:24)
After a long period of uncertainty about what I was being to called to do in the world, circumstances began to align themselves in a way that made my path clearer than it has ever been. Now, you would think that this would be cause for rejoicing and plunging in with both feet, but life can put us into a kind of Stockholm Syndrome, in which we cling to our captivity out of fear of the very freedom we crave. Knowing exactly what I needed to be doing, I found myself doing everything but, balking at change and caught in the grip of acedia.
Fearful that my chance would pass me by, I began a nightly practice of chanting Om gam Ganapataye namaha–a mantra addressed to Ganesha–with the intention that the Lord of Success and Remover of Obstacles would clear my path of obstructions. Almost immediately, I began to feel my stuck-ness loosening up, and found that I could move down the path before me with increasing ease.
Finding that my rate of recovery was slackening, I approached one of my parish priests for laying-on-of-hands and healing prayer. The result was dramatic; the combination of her intercession and my own practice set up a kind of virtuous (as opposed to "vicious") cycle of grace and intention, each fueling the other and taking me to a greater state of emotional and spiritual health than I had enjoyed for a long time. I practiced with intention, and God answered with grace that, in turn, encouraged my intention–an "upward spiral," if you will.
The Baal Shem Tov
In Martin Buber's Legends of the Baal Shem, God commands the Master to do spiritual battle with a false messiah. Warning him that his foe was too powerful for him to defeat alone, God charged the Baal Shem to seek the help of a tzadik, or holy man, to whom he would direct him. Traveling through a field, the Baal Shem saw a shepherd incessantly leaping back and forth over a ditch. "For you, Lord," the shepherd cried, "and to please you! If you had sheep, I would guard them all day without pay; show me what I can do for you!" This, God told the Master, is the holy man you seek. I will have truly made progress on the day when all my spiritual practice is done in the same spirit of pure, Godly intention.

I love this. I've had experiences, both at work (externally) and in my spiritual development (internally) where I put an intention in my mind, focused on it for a bit, but then kind of forgot about it. And then a year or so later, I would look back and the intention had manifested. I had become, for example, more considerate. Seems like that quote attributed to Goethe… "that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way…"
Thanks, Faith; love me some Goethe!
Hi Scott, I really enjoyed your piece. And while I agree that the "Secret" is a bit hokey and overly literal, I have found that the "Law of Attraction" has been incredibly powerful in my life. It actually has transformed my life in very dramatic ways. It is all about changing the thoughts to the positive, setting the intention and getting into alignment to allow true beauty and magic to unfold. This is what is continuing to happen in my life everyday. It helps that I found a yoga practice in Anusara yoga whose Tantric philosophies happen to be very in line with my own practices of the Law of Attraction. Through the unfolding of the heart and the aligning with our true purpose, Grace and synchronicity flow into our life.. and magic happens.
Thanks, TAL; Tantra is next on my to-read-more-about list! (Right after I "finish" Vedanta, so it may be a while!)

"I have come to realize that our true "heart's desire" is, in fact, the Lord–everything else is something we have been duped into believing we desire." YES YES YES! The will of our Self and God's are one and the same.
The carefulness (for me at least) remains to sort out my TRUE intentions vs. ego intentions. Great piece Scott, love it when you post.
Thanks, Clare! I need you to give a master-class on recognizing ego–I still get blindsided so easily!

After what feels like ages, it's finally time to fire up that snow machine for the winter season. Mother Nature has been
cooperative thus far, with encouraging early season precipitation across many parts of Idaho. In the southwestern region of the state, hundreds of miles of trails in Valley County are already taking on substantial snowpack. According the USDA's SNOTEL site, Secesh Summit (elev. 6520) near McCall already has a roughly 14-inch base, with more on the way.
The folks at Burgdorf Hot Springs posted on November 24th that their facility is only reachable via snowmobile or tracked vehicle for the rest of the season!
What does this all amount to? Great early season trail riding conditions are underway in some areas, with the rest of the state not far behind.
Smiths Ferry and Anderson Ranch are working towards a good start, with higher elevations accumulating a solid November pack. Keep an eye on their progress through the Idaho Snowmobile Association's website.
Be sure you pay a visit to Sled the Rockies. It has helpful information, trail maps and you can enter to win a totally sweet sled trip for four.

Hike of the week: Pine Hollow American Fork Canyon
The trailhead is on the Alpine Loop Road (S.R. 92) immediately beyond the tight S-curve near the Mutual Dell campground coming from American Fork Canyon. A parking lot and a bathroom are on the right (southwest) side of the road; the trail begins on the left side of the road.
Head uphill less than 0.1 mile to a trail junction with a sign pointing left to Mutual Dell go right. The trail parallels the road as it rises southeast toward the Pine Hollow drainage. It bends further east and continues to another T-junction just over a mile from the trailhead. Turn left toward the Ridge Trail, (away from Salamander Flat). At 1.5 miles is a meadow with great views of Timpanogos. Bear left, bending around the meadow to the Ridge Trail junction at 1.7 miles from the trailhead. Turn left and go 0.1 mile. As you exit the aspen grove, follow one of the little footpaths to your right and take in the glorious ridge views.
Directions • From the mouth of American Fork Canyon, head east 5 miles to the junction of state roads 144 and 92 (Alpine Scenic Highway). Go right on S.R. 92. After a mile, the Mutual Dell campground will be on your right. A quarter-mile beyond is a severe S-turn. The parking lot and trailhead are immediately after the hard right, 0.8 mile after Mutual Dell.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Maybe rocker Greg Kihn was being prophetic in his 1981 hit, "The Breakup Song," with its chorus, "They don't write 'em like that anymore." An Indiana University professor's new paper looks at how people write to break up today, including through texts, emails and social media.
According to a new research article by Ilana Gershon, associate professor of communication and culture in IU's College of Arts and Sciences, part of what makes the breakup stories she collected into American stories is that the medium seems so important to the message when breaking off relationships.
"It wasn't until after I had collected many breakup stories that I realized my students had told me something quite revealing that would come up time and time again. ... American undergraduates focus on the 'how' of a breakup when describing their breakups, not the 'why' or the 'who,'" Gershon said.
Her paper, "Everytime We Type Goodbye: Heartbreak American Style," published in the journal Anthropology Now, discusses how the narratives of breakups in the United States differ from those in other countries.
Gershon also is the author of the 2010 book, "The Breakup 2.0: Disconnecting over New Media" (Cornell University Press), which argued that Facebook and other forms of social networking have radically changed the playing field of dating today.
She interviewed 72 people at length for her paper, including 66 undergraduate college students who communicate frequently with new technologies. She found that when American college students tell their breakup stories, they consist of a string of conversations, and people always describe when anyone switched media to continue the conversations.
"The medium used for the conversation mattered enough to be almost always mentioned," Gershon said. "People would invariably mark when a different medium was used, explaining when communication shifted from voicemail to texting to F

White House 'extremely disappointed' with Russia
Washington • A highly anticipated fall summit between President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin could become a casualty of Moscow's defiant decision to grant temporary asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, the White House signaled Thursday after weeks of pressuring and pleading for his return to face prosecution.
Russia's decision "is not a positive development," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
"We are extremely disappointed that the Russian government would take this step despite our very clear and lawful requests in public and in private to have Mr. Snowden expelled to the United States to face the charges against him," Carney said.
Obama is scheduled to go to Russia in September for the Group of 20 economic summit in St. Petersburg and also stop in Moscow for one-on-one talks Putin. The White House alternately has demanded that Russia return Snowden while also saying it doesn't want his case to negatively impact relations with Moscow.
Asked whether Obama would still travel to Moscow, Carney said pointedly, "We are evaluating the utility of a summit."
There was a strong reaction from some lawmakers.
"Russia's action today is a disgrace and a deliberate effort to embarrass the United States. It is a slap in the face of all Americans," Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said in a joint statement. "Now is the time to fundamentally rethink our relationship with Putin's Russia."
The senators suggested expanding U.S. sanctions against Russians accused of human rights violations, completing U.S. missile defense programs based in Europe, and moving quickly on another round of NATO expansion to include the Republic of Georgia.
Long before Thursday's decision, some lawmakers even suggested a U.S. boycott of the Winter Olympics taking place next year in Sochi, Russia, or moving the Group of 20 international summit out of Russia altogether.
Carney declined to speculate about what steps, if any, the U.S. might take in response. He noted the complicated and wide-ranging relationship between the two countries and suggested the U.S. also is reluctant to let Snowden's status become the source of further deterioration.
The U.S. and Russia already disagree on a host of issues, including the civil war in Syria, where Moscow is one of Syrian President Bashar Assad's key supporters and the U.S. is backing anti-Assad rebel forces.
"There is no question that there are a range of issues, setting aside the disposition of Mr. Snowden, on which we are currently in disagreement with Russia," Carney said.
Snowden left the transit zone of a Moscow airport and officially entered Russia after authorities granted him asylum for one year, his lawyer said Thursday. Snowden had been camped out at the airport for more than a month since he arrived there from Hong Kong on June 23.
The U.S. had demanded that Russia send him home to face prosecution for revealing details about secret U.S. electronic surveillance programs. But the two countries have no extradition treaty and Putin dismissed the requests, despite saying he didn't want the Snowden issue to hamper relations with the U.S.
Carney said the U.S. was not told of the decision ahead of time.
Andrew Weiss, a former director of Russian affairs in the Clinton administration, said the Russians had sought an Obama visit so they could portray Putin as an important player on the world stage. But he said it now seems "all but inevitable" that Obama will have to cancel at least part of his trip to Russia in response.
"So something they really wanted, which was the president of the United States there in Moscow, now seems to be in jeopardy" because of Snowden, Weiss said.
Jeffery Mankoff, deputy director and fellow with the Russia and Eurasia program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the meeting should go on because of the other important issues on the table.
"All of these things are kind of sitting there in the bilateral relationship and really need a top-level push to get anywhere," Mankoff said. "Having that kind of meeting would be conducive to getting some of that agenda moving."

I've been trying to think of a way to make this happen, but can't come up with anything I like while keeping things completely separate. OVDC doesn't seem to install on OEL5, SGD isn't an option since not all VDI users have access and we use 2 factor auth for it. I also can't figure out a way to get the normal VDI client (connecting to the existing DB cluster) to run under Linux (I figured that would be a long shot, but a nice solution if it worked). Another possible solution would be a kiosk session definition on the VDI side of things that would connect users to the OEL 5 server (all of the DTUs would connect only to the VDI environment). The only thing with that option is connectivity to the kiosk server - VNC, XDMCP, or something else?

Are You Excited For The Launch Of Katie Holmes' Collection?
Like us on Facebook
If you remember, last August, I told you that Katie had designed the navy dress that she wore to her hubby's Los Angeles Premiere of Tropic Thunder. At the time, she claimed it was just a one-off item, however, it seems that after being exposed to such incredible fashions as of late, she's decided to give designing a go.
The duo is set to launch a full collection for women and girls that will be sold at Maxfield department store in LA. I can't wait to feast my eyes on these goods. If I had to take a guess, I'd bet the pieces will include sexy, yet reserved, well constructed, well tailored basics. What are you expecting?

As you probably know, it's the time of year for Grand Canyon National Park permits. I just received two permits for rather ambitious, one-way hikes. I'm permitted for a party size of 4, but so far I'm the only one going. That's where you come in! Below are the itineraries of both hikes. You, a friend of yours, your stuffed turtle; all are welcome! The catch: you or your stuffed turtle must have your own car (you know, for the whole one-way hike thing). I also ask that you remit me the $5/person/night permit fee for yourself and whomever you bring along (turtles hike free with paying adult). Only well-conditioned, experienced desert hikers please – this is a rough itinerary! Hike 1: South Bass to Bright AngelTrip 1: South Bass to Bright Angel4/13: Start from South Bass TH. Hike down to Serpentine Canyon, 8.8 miles.4/14: Serpentine Canyon to Ruby Canyon, 4.8 miles.4/15: Ruby Canyon to Turquoise Canyon, 5.8 miles.4/16: Turquoise Canyon to Slate Canyon, 9.3 miles.4/17: Slate Canyon to Hermit Creek, 10.8 miles.4/18: Day of rest at Hermit Creek.4/19: Hermit Creek to Salt Creek, 7.2 miles.4/20: Salt Creek to Indian Garden, 7.3 miles.4/21: Indian Garden to Bright Angel Trailhead, 4.8 miles.Trip 2: Tanner TH to South Kaibab TH4/27: Start from Tanner TH, down to Tanner Rapids, 6.5 miles.4/28: Tanner Rapids to Hance Rapdis, 12 miles. <-- LONG, hard day!4/29: Hance Rapids to Hance Creek, 6 miles.4/30: Hance Creek to Cottonwood Creek, 5 miles.5/1: Day of rest at Cottonwood Creek.5/2: Cottonwood Creek to Grapevine Canyon, 5.5 miles.5/3: Grapevine Canyon to Lonetree Canyon, 8.6 miles.5/4: Lonetree Canyon to South Kaibab TH, 8.5 milesPlease private-message me here or email me at ESmithRN a@t Gmail.com if you're interested.A little about me: 24 year old male Registered Nurse from Los Angeles area with quite a bit of cross-country hiking/backpacking experience in Death Valley, Anza-Borrego, Sequoia, and Olympic. I pack rather light, and tend to hike fast when I'm alone but I'm more than happy to take it slow. I do insist on starting early (hit the trail before 8 AM) but am fine with splitting up during the day. I carry a PLB and GPSr. I love trees, long walks on the beach, and stuffed turtles.
Are you planning on a paid shuttle to the South Bass Trailhead?
Not if I can find someone to car shuttle with me!
Ambitious but awesome itinerary. I did the Royal arch route 3 years ago May starting at the S. Bass Trailhead. Absolutely incredible. And I've had my eye on the Tonto West Trail ever since. They say it's the longest stretch of trail in the park without water. I wish i could join you but i'll be in Canyonlands about that time. But a word of warning, the road to S. Bass is about as bad as a road can be. 20" deep mini 'canyons' down the middle of the road. My buddy and i did it in a rental car but just barely and if it was wet it would have been impossible. There is no maintenance whatsoever after you cross into the reservation land, and make sure you have some cash with you in case there is someone at the guard station.I did the Escalante Route last year which you'll be covering on your second trip, also very amazing. I hope you are planning on exploring Horseshoe Mesa on your rest day at Cottonwood Creek. Enjoy!
There are still 2 spots on the first trip (S. Bass-Bright Angel)! Get 'em while they're hot!

Gods Will Be Watching is a game about hard decisions and moral dilemmas in order to survive. A point'n'click adventure which presents a series of dramatic puzzles where not only the mathematic outcome counts but also the ethical approach to the problem. There's no good or evil, just decisions, with only you as the judge of your actions. Is eating your friends the best way to stay alive, or just the easiest?

It's not just about survival anymore. You'll face your demons, your inner demons. No good path, no evil path... just the one you can live with.
