ALBANY — The primary order of business for the professional affairs committee for Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital on Monday was to discuss the appointment and re-appointment of physicians.
Those recommended for appointment were Dr. Lan Lee Adams for maternal/fetal medicine, Dr. William Mallow for surgery/wound care, Dr. James Sirleaf for emergency medicine, Dr. Sylvan Waller for emergency medicine, Dr. Gonzala Villalobos for emergency medicine and Dr. Threvia West for maternal/fetal medicine, a credentials report shows.
Sirleaf, Waller and Villalobos will be in Phoebe's emergency center, Mallow will be at Phoebe Wound Care while the affiliation of Adams and West have been classified as locum tenens — indicating that they are standing in temporarily for someone else.
The report also indicates that two emergency medicine physicians are resigning because of relocation, and that there were three physicians whose privileges were being non-renewed because of their failure to return their reappointment application.
The report also lists three physicians whose reappointments are currently being finalized.
Dr. Doug Patten, senior vice president of medical affairs at Phoebe, explained that — as is the case with most jobs — the recruitment process at Phoebe requires a potential member of the medical staff to provide evidence of their identity and their educational background.
The medical staff primarily takes on the role of overlooking a person's qualifications, in turn making recommendations to the professional affairs committee before the full board votes on who to recruit.
"Once all the information has been verified, it is determined whether they will be able to perform the procedures they will need to do here," Patten said. "The credentials committee then determines current competence — which means not that they did it 20 years ago, but that they are doing it now and are able to perform those duties here.
"The board can send it back to the medical staff for questions. If they are determined to be qualified, the full board has the ultimate authority."
The committee recommended the report for full board approval.

Sounds more difficult to get on with Phoebe than it is to be President.

Those not willing to pledge allegiance to Wernick, might save themselves some grief and frustration and withdraw themselves from consideration. If you're not sure. Find a physician in Albany that you trust and speak with him or her privately.

Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer John Foy
In his 50 years as a developer, Charles B. Lebovitz, chairman of the board at CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., has constructed a few rules-of-thumb: Don't be a trendsetter; lure hot retailers to your centers; dominate mid-sized markets.
But rule Number One — a rule that paid off recently — is to build strong relationships. While many real estate companies scrambled to borrow money two years ago in a super-glue-tight financial market, lenders looked favorably on CBL. "We stood by banks such as Wells Fargo, US Bank and First Tennessee during the good times," explains Lebovitz, 73, "and they stood by us — even when things were extremely tough."
If real estate companies competed on television's "Survivor," CBL could win the million-dollar prize. During the worst economic downturn since the 1930s, the Chattanooga-based trust opened new centers, restaurants and big box stores. In Chattanooga, new retailers including Bare Escentuals, Mac Authority and Academy Sports moved in. A popular San Francisco clothing purveyor — Forever 21 — will launch its first area store at Hamilton Place this spring. Sephora and Teavana will arrive soon.
Sales grew, income figures improved and stock performance climbed more than 80 percent in 2010, says Stephen Lebovitz, 49, CBL's president and chief executive officer. Such signs lead company executives to expect continued growth this year. "It's nice to be past the worst of the great recession," he says.
Confidence in the marketplace is so high that Hamilton Place is scheduled for a makeover. "It's due," says Michael Lebovitz, 47, CBL's executive vice president for development and administration. "We last renovated the mall in 1997." Details of cost, size and scope of the project will be forthcoming but construction will focus primarily on the interior, particularly colors, flooring and furnishings. A new outlet mall — the company's first — is set to open next year as well, in Oklahoma City, Okla.
A little more than a century ago, Charles Lebovitz's grandparents emigrated from Kiev to Chattanooga. In 1961, Charles joined Independent Enterprises, the family's development business. He formed CBL with five partners in 1978, and with his management team took the company public in 1993.
Today, CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., builds, owns and operates shopping centers from Massachusetts to California. Its fleet of 158 properties includes 84 malls or large open-air centers. In the Chattanooga area, CBL owns or manages 12 facilities.
After working with his father for nearly three decades, Lebovitz now operates CBL with his sons Stephen, Michael, and Alan Lebovitz, 43, CBL's senior vice president for asset management. His daughter, Beth Backer, lives in Boston while her husband, Dan, is a leasing manager at CBL's regional office in Boston.
An Executive Family Interview
Chatter recently caught up with four members of the Lebovitz family who direct CBL & Associates
Chatter: Did you always plan to work together?
Charles: Michael always enjoyed the business. At 10, he was helping me adjust the parking lot lights at Eastgate Mall — they had to be changed manually every season — and he understood it better than I. After Stephen finished his MBA at Harvard, he wanted to raise his family in Boston. It worked out nicely that we were able to open our first regional office there and Stephen felt comfortable joining the company. Alan, the third-born, thought about it for some time, then decided he might as well follow along.
Chatter: What's the best thing about working with your three sons every day?
Charles: I have no question of their loyalty and commitment. I know their goals, desires and priorities go hand-in-hand with mine. That's a very comforting feeling. It's a wonderful experience.
Stephen: One reason it works so well is that my dad allows each of us to have significant responsibility, but not in a competitive way. He's created the space that makes it work.
Charles: I learned that from my dad. He did exactly that. When we organized CBL in 1978, he said that if I was going to be the head of the company he did not want to take an ownership position. If I were to be the lead, he said, I should be fully empowered.
Chatter: Will you pass the legacy on to the next generation?
Charles: There are 14 grandchildren, so we have 14 opportunities.
Stephen: It depends on their interests. My oldest is 25 and in college, and he doesn't have a clue what he wants to do (laughs). But it's a great opportunity, if they're interested.
Chatter: What are the challenges for CBL in 2011?
Stephen: We're focused on making the experience of shopping more than just buying — it's meeting at the mall, being entertained at the mall.
Chatter: How do you deal with the growth in Internet sales?
Michael: Most retailers have adopted a bricks-and-mortar and Internet strategy.
Stephen: We're working with them on social networking on Facebook and Twitter, and doing more advertising promotions such as coupons through e-mail.
Chatter: How's business?
Stephen: We had less than a one percent decrease in our net operating income, even in the worst of the 2009 recession. We've been able to preserve our bottom line because we don't have the volatility and the risk that a lot of businesses and other forms of real estate had.
Charles: Of all our malls, Hamilton Place is enjoying the highest growth in sales this year. That's a reflection of the vitality of the Chattanooga market, with all the new jobs being created and the construction work taking place.
Chatter: You said relationships are essential. Why?
Charles: Our outstanding relationships with a few key banks have been a major part of our ability to continue to grow. On our side, we perform. We've never defaulted. We've respected those banks and, in good times, stood by them when we might have had options to go elsewhere.
Stephen: Having strong relationships in general is a key success factor. The toughest thing about our business is that everything has to happen right to be successful. When you work with so many different parties — the city, the retailers, the highway departments, architects, engineers — you have to be careful about every detail.
Chatter: Two years ago, you planned a $100 million expansion. Is that still in the works?
Stephen: No. When companies like Circuit City went out of business, retailers went into those spaces. There's excess capacity, so we're not pursuing an expansion.
Chatter: How were you creative during the recession?
Charles: In St. Louis, we turned a Lord and Taylor's department store into an attractive, exciting grouping of restaurants and retailers, with an attached courtyard.
Alan: We attached new stores to the outside of a typical, enclosed mall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to give the property a vibrant streetscape look.
Chatter: Does this make CBL a "trendsetter?"
Michael: No, we've always been traditional. But we've tried to be smart in the way we adopt trends. We think our conservative nature allowed us to avoid the pitfalls of unsuccessful trends.
Chatter: How does 2011 look?
Alan: We have a certain amount of optimism. Retail development has slowed so much our properties are even more attractive and relevant to new retailers. Because of our track record, they're more likely to want to choose to come to a CBL property versus some other property owner, who may, perhaps, shut down.
Stephen: We've seen the financial markets improve. Interest rates are low. Consumer spending is starting to come back and sales have been strong since August. We take our lead from the retailers, and they're bullish about their sales for next year.
Chatter: What's the best thing about working at CBL?
Charles: It's a tough business, but it's fun.

1961: Moses Lebovitz, Charles Lebovitz and Jay Solomon, principals of Independent Enterprises, start out developing commercial and shopping center real estate.
1970: Independent Enterprises merges with Arlen Realty & Development Corporation, a New York public company with a large portfolio of shopping centers primarily located in the eastern half of the United States.
1977: Charles Lebovitz becomes the president of Arlen's shopping center division.
1978: Charles Lebovitz and five associates form CBL & Associates, Inc. to develop regional malls and community centers. The newly formed company developed its first shopping mall, Plaza del Sol, in Del Rio, Texas, which opened in March 1979.
1988: CBL opens a regional office in Boston, Massachusetts, to focus on developing properties in the New England region and throughout the Northeast.

2005: CBL celebrates the grand opening of its first mall on the West Coast, Imperial Valley Mall in El Centro, CA.

CBL actively pursues new development and acquisition opportunities. CBL also continues to enhance its mall properties through re-tenanting and redevelopments including lifestyle expansions and big-box additions.
Just Like Family Vice
Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer John Foy, one of five associates joining Charles Lebovitz to establish CBL in 1978, remains among the company's most influential executives. Foy entered the shopping center industry in 1968 when he joined the Lebovitz family's shopping center development business. Along with Charles and Ben Landress, CBL's executive vice president of management, Foy is the only executive still involved with the company 42 years later. A member of numerous local boards including UTC's board of trustees, Foy has served as a director and CFO of CBL since its initial public offering in 1993.

Selena Gomez may have been spotted hanging out with on/off boyfriend Justin Bieber on numerous occasions recently, but according to new reports, the singer may actually be dating Hollywood hunk Orlando Bloom, with the pair allegedly being spotted looking cosy at Chelsea Handler's show in L.A over the weekend.
Sources have said that Selena and Orlando both arrived in the same car for the show at the Forum on Saturday night, Page Six reports, before they then later left together "appearing cosy."
Onlookers also said that Gomez looked comfortable hanging out with the superstar - who wouldn't be content whilst in the presence of Orlando Bloom?
A source told HollywoodLife: "Selena actually looked really happy. They both seemed in great spirits."
Selena and Orlando hang out at We Day (Instagram/Selena Gomez)
Could we have a new showbiz romance on our hands? Orlando recently split from ex-wife Miranda Kerr and although Selena has been rumoured to be hooking up with Biebs, who is currently in New York, nothing has been confirmed.
When approached by EntertainmentWise, sources close to Selena refused to comment on the romance claims.
Justin Bieber hints at Selena Gomez proposal? Singer posed in Central Park over the weekend, admitting he was going to pop the question there (Instagram/Justin Bieber)
This isn't the first time that the Come and Get It beauty has hung out with Bloom, with the pair both attending the We Day California Conference on March 26.
This then immediately led to rumours suggesting that Justin was not happy about Selena's "flirting" with Orlando.
"Their drama always starts because they don't trust each other. It's not only Selena that gets jealous — Justin is just as bad — he's the one that started the latest fight," an insider told HollywoodLife, adding: "He accused Selena of flirting with Orlando Bloom."
Wonder how he feels about their recent hang outs?

When I turned on SportsCenter Sunday night after the baseball game, I was in a state of shock with the opening story. The New York Jets had acquired WR Santonio Holmes from the Steelers for a draft pick, which pick was unkown at the time. I frantically searched the internet to confirm the report, and make sure it wasn't a dream.
Holmes was awarded the Super Bowl MVP award in a Super Bowl XLIII victory for the Steelers against the Arizona Cardinals thanks to his 9 catches for 131 yards and one of the most iconic TD catches in Super Bowl history. Following that performance, Holmes took a step forward in 2009 with 79 catches for 1248 yards, both career highs, and added 5 TD catches to that line. Holmes has improved his catches each season since his rookie year of 2006, as well as his yardage in all but one season. He arguably had become the Steelers number one receiver, so why did that trade him? The Rooney family are one of the most respected owners in the NFL, so what drove them to trade away one of their top young talents? With Holmes recently in the media for abuse charges, as well as a now reported four-game suspension to start the 2010 season, perhaps the Rooney family had finally had enough of Holmes. After all, they have also had their starting quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, in the news facing potential charges, until Monday when it was announced no charges would be filed. With all the negativity facing two of the team's most recognizable figures, and perhaps the two top talents on the offense, it is easy to see that the Rooney family wanted to get rid of some of that bad publicity. But only obtaining a fifth round pick for Holmes, was that really a smart move?
It has been reported since the trade that the Steelers would have dropped Holmes had they not found an offer for him. But, could it be possible that absolutely no other team offered Pittsburgh a more lucrative offer than the Jets, especially with so many needing talent at the WR position? And the talent they gave up in Holmes, they will most certainly not replace with the fifth round pick they acquired from the Jets. Perhaps the Steelers feel confident in Mike Wallace, who showed flashes of brilliancy last season, but as the third WR for the Steelers. Regardless, the Jets may have wound up with another steal this off season, if Holmes can get on the field and produce like he did in the 2009 season. The Jets ownership is showing that they will open up their hearts for any player, regardless of past personal issues, in hopes of topping the Patriots in the AFC East this season. If everything works on the field, they could make a run at another AFC Championship game, and who knows where else they may go. There is no denying Holmes' talent, and what he could bring to the Jets, now it's just up to him to prove it, and Roger Goodell not to suspend him.

From Little Johann to Old Bach
This is the exciting and funny story of the childhood of little Johann Sebastian Bach who became an orphan at the age of 10 and lived with his stern brother Christoph, with whom he battled over the right to compose music. The program will feature excerpts from the second suite for flute and strings, the air on G string and other works by Bach, performed by musicians playing on authentic instruments, a singers and dancers.
A Whole Life in One Exhibition
One of Mussorgsky's best friends died at an early age and Modest was very sad. As he attended an exhibition in memory of his painter friend, he burst crying, and then returned home running and wrote music that captures exactly ten pictures from that exhibition. We will retell the story of this work and how Modest managed to imitate the voices of nature in his music: winds, flowing water, various animals, human beings, feelings, atmosphere just as in a story, just as in a movie. The music will be performed by two pianists, percussion musicians and dancers.
City Dances and Country Tunes
Little Bela was curious and most talented. He discovered a whole world of dances, melodies, folk tales and gypsy tribes and was charmed by the Danube river that passed through villages from which he could hear the sounds of Hungarian and Romanian folk dances. Join us on this sizzling musical journey performed by dancers and musicians.
Mozart - The Opera Bastien and Bastiene
This program brings to our audience a one act opera which Mozart composed at the age of 12, in a staged production and sung in Hebrew. In our version this opera travels over a few centuries and arrives at a 1960s club with the colors, rhythms and frenzy of the period. This colorful production features singers, musicians, dancers and Nitza Shaul herself as the magician Kolas, who owns the club.
The Legend of the Four Guys from Liverpool
The season ends with the story of the unforgettable quartet from Liverpool and the songs of Lennon and McCartney about which Leonard Bernstein said that they as good as the songs of Schumann. Liverpool in the 1960s with the story of the four guys who became a legend in their own lifetime and with their music performed by musicians, singers and dancers.

"We are on the eve of a trial for two individuals that we allege have committed a brutal and heinous attack on a family. As it states in our pleadings, this is a crime not only against the family, but against the peace and dignity of the people of the State of Michigan," Cooper said.
"No victim of violence and horror wants to testify in an open court and recount their experiences. Yet, countless people take the witnesses stand everyday to testify against defendants, not only because they are compelled to by court order, but because they want to make sure that no one else suffers as they did. It is also my job, as the Oakland County Prosecutor, to do my best to make sure that no one else suffers at the hands of such individuals in the future.
"There is a quote from conservative philosopher Edmund Burke, which says in essence: Evil can only prevail when good men do nothing." [Read the complete statement HERE].
Greg Cipriano said Rose is for the most part recovered, continuing outpatient therapy, but Salavatore remains hospitalized.
"He's had a few setbacks, but right now he's bounced back and he has got a great spirit, and we're very, very happy that he's in the position he's at right now. We hope to bring him home soon."
Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday. Both Young and Tucker Cipriano face life in prison if convicted of first degree, premeditated murder.

A mix of fuchsia rose petals and sugar-fine Longboat Key sand lined the white aisle leading to where Jodi Ewart and Adam Shadoff exchanged their wedding vows.
The worn wooden sign that stood before a sea of white fold-up chairs declared in a white loopy script, "Today Two Families Become One. So Pick a Seat, Not a Side."
Exactly 120 guests, hailing from as far as the bride's home country of England, waited eagerly for the ceremony to begin. The wedding was nearly 10 months in planning, according to the couple's wedding planner Nicole Kaney at NK Productions Wedding Planning.
As an LPGA Tour player, Jodi is often away from home, which meant that Adam, the local sports anchor at SNN-6 TV, had to take the reigns for some of the wedding planning process.
"I like to think I wasn't a 'groomzilla,'" Adam jokes. He said the vendors got a kick out of working with the groom instead of the bride.
The thing about Adam, Nicole says, was that he was "very, very organized."
"Some of the brides come from a more emotional side," Nicole explains. "With the groom, it was a little less emotional and more about organization—making sure Jodi's vision came across."
That vision was one of "beach elegance," which was mirrored in numerous details--including the tasteful wardrobe selection of the bridal party.
The five bridesmaids were draped in pink knee-length dresses, which complemented the groomsmen, who sported sand-colored suits and pastel-pink ties.
Adam said, "Even though it was winter, we thought a light-colored suit would work well on the beach. We're rule-breakers."
Nicole explains that the combination of pink ties and fuchsia rose petals added a touch of color to the ensemble without being overwhelmingly feminine.
"Adam and Jodi both have really great style, and Adam had a lot of input," she says. "But Jodi loves pink!"
And the finishing touch to the men's beach-chic look? Flip-flops.
"We always knew we wanted to get married actually on the sand," Adam said, "and you don't wear dress shoes and a tuxedo on the beach."
Jodi and Adam wanted the wedding to reflect their easygoing personalities without depreciating the significance of the event.
"We're laid-back, casual people in general and wanted that same kind of feeling, but with a touch of formal, 'you're at a wedding' feel as well," Adam said.
A photobooth stocked with amusing props at the wedding reception kept the fun memories flowing, while a buffet of the couple's favorite foods ensured that the meal remained comfortable and fuss-free.
"We wanted some seafood and a Florida feel to the food so guests would really know where they were. We got a lot of compliments," Adam said.
In lieu of a wedding cake, the couple opted for a multitiered tower of cupcakes from Pastries by Design in an assortment of flavors and colors.
Nicole said opting for cupcakes and cake pops at the wedding reception has become pretty popular with her clients recently.
"They were pretty unique cupcakes," Nicole says, "and these were a big hit!"
Adding to the ambiance was The Leonard Brothers, a popular six-person band based out of Orlando. The band kept a string of Top 40 hits playing all night long.
"We wanted a more upbeat, new, fun party dance music," Adam said. "We didn't really have many traditional wedding standbys."
One of Adam's favorite moments from the evening was when the incredibly fitting "American Boy" song by British singer Estelle played during the couple's introduction as Mr. and Mrs. Adam Shadoff.
But what was the most memorable moment of all, according to Adam?
"I'll never forget watching Jodi come down the aisle when I first saw her," he said.

Late Night Snack Cookies
I'll admit, I have never been a late night eater.
Most likely because I can't seem to keep my eyes open past 10:00.
But I hear that late night snacking is a whole thing. I get it, honestly…I mean, you're sitting there watching an episode of Grey's…what else are you supposed to do with your hands?
Clearly taking up crocheting is not an option for me, which means busying my hands with cookies is really the only other option.
So, my kids (ahem) are obsessed with the Ben & Jerry's flavor Late Night Snack…besides loving Jimmy Fallon, it might be the perfect ice cream in all the land.
It's Vanilla Bean Ice Cream with a salty caramel swirl and fudge covered potato chips…hellooooo.
In that vein I decided to turn the ice cream into a cookie.
For late night eating.
Late Night Snack Cookies.
What I decided to do was use a sturdy cookie base, add in some chopped Snickers bars, which would add the caramel/chocolaty bits and then pulse in some thick cut potato chips at the very end…the integrity of the chip was muy importante to me.
Start by chopping up some candy…and then freeze it for at least an hour…
Freezing it will keep the caramel from oozing out all over the place. Trust me on this one!
Then go ahead and make your dough.
One egg, plus a yolk… that's what I did here. The yolk adds a nice fat and richness to the batter…and I didn't want the cookie to spread too much.
I also added a tablespoon of heavy cream to the dough..again, a little extra fat never hurt a cookie.
After I had all the ingredients in the dough I lastly added about 5 cups of potato chips.
Pour them into your mixing bowl and pulse it a few times. You don't want them to break up too much…having the big pieces of the chips poking out adds a nice crunchy/salty bite.
Just drop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto a lined baking sheet and give it about 9-10 minutes in the oven!
That's it.
Cookies beat crocheting any day
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 1¼ cups light brown sugar
- 1 egg + 1 yolk
- 1 Tbsp heavy cream or milk
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 2½ cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 cups chopped Snickers candy, frozen
- 4-5 cups thick cut salted potato chips (I used Kettle Chips)
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
- In bowl of stand mixer cream butter and sugar for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Turn mixer to low and add in egg, yolk, milk and vanilla. Increase speed to medium and mix until smooth and incorporated.
- Turn mixer back down to low and add in flour, baking soda and salt, mixing until combined.
- Add in Snickers candy and mix until evenly distributed. And finally add in potato chips and pulse until combined. Don't over mix, as all the chips will break up too much.
- Drop by heaping tablespoon onto lined baking sheet and bake 9-10 minutes until edges are golden. Allow to cool 2-3 minutes on baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.

I am jealous of the USA Ben and jerry flavours, we only get the standards in australia. These are the perfect trashy(good way) cookies every girl needs.
I am too in love with salty and sweet combos right now. All this needs is the ice cream in the middle!
April 23, 2013 at 12:13 pm
Sweet + salty = absolutely perfect cookie! Love 'em.
April 23, 2013 at 12:17 pm
These are evil little nuggets!
April 23, 2013 at 12:20 pm
I love baking but never a big fan of making cookies as I always seem to overbake them. This, however has me wanting to race riight home and make them! They look devilishly delicious!
April 23, 2013 at 12:39 pm
I like that flavor of Ben and Jerry's as well. These cookies look amazing, surely even better than the ice cream
April 23, 2013 at 12:40 pm
Oh goodness! You took some of the best snacks and rolled them into this cookie!!! I must try these soon – like yesterday!!! xoxo
April 23, 2013 at 12:53 pm
Chips in a cookie! I have never seen such a thing. They look good though. I am one of those late night snackers. I thinks if because I get bored waiting to go to bed.
April 23, 2013 at 12:54 pm
This recipe goes to the top of my list. There is one problem…I love frozen snickers and they may not last long enough to be added to the dough….
April 23, 2013 at 1:07 pm
Yes, please! Love!
April 23, 2013 at 1:36 pm
Wow this is super crazy that there are potato chips in these cookies. Love it!!
April 23, 2013 at 2:03 pm
Um, how have i never heard of this ice cream flavor?! Sounds right up my alley! Love these cookies!
April 23, 2013 at 2:09 pm
The tater chips make them perfect for late night snacking!
April 23, 2013 at 2:10 pm
I can't even stand how obsessed (OBSESSED!!!) with these cookies I am. Talk about satisfying every single craving in the book in just one bite…
April 23, 2013 at 2:22 pm
I have a very good friend who eats 2 handfuls of potato chips everyday along with a little bit of chocolate. I can't wait to make these for her! Awesome cookie! Thanks!
Oh….BTW, I'm a totally late night closet eater. Can't help it. :/
April 23, 2013 at 2:35 pm
You should totally tag Jimmy Fallon in these on Twitter or Facebook. Maybe they'll feature your cookies on his show. OK, it's a nice dream, but it would be totally awesome.
And now I have a reason to buy a bag of potato chips!
April 23, 2013 at 2:46 pm
Can't wait to run to the store for snickers and potato chips (can't keep them in the house!)But to truly match the Ben & Jerry's should we first dip the potato chips in melted chocolate or is that a little over the top? Always look forward to your posts and recipes Thanks for being a day-brightener for all your fans!
April 23, 2013 at 2:47 pm
So what you mean to call these is 7pm snacking cookies? 😉 That's about late night.. okay maybe 830? Totally need to try these.
April 23, 2013 at 3:02 pm
Mmm late night snack food is the best., And to have it in a cookie is even better.
April 23, 2013 at 3:29 pm
That is my favorite Ben & Jerry's. Completely addicting when you bite into those chocolate-covered chip balls. I love you for making these cookies!
April 23, 2013 at 4:30 pm
We don't get this flavour B&J in Ireland, but I wish we did! These cookies sound amazing. Definitely must make them next time we're having a poker night – they'd be perfect!
April 23, 2013 at 4:47 pm
April 23, 2013 at 4:49 pm
I love cookies with potato chips in!! YUM! And yes you need something to eat when watching Grey's!!
April 23, 2013 at 5:11 pm
I would gladly take a few of these over crocheting any day!
April 23, 2013 at 5:42 pm
I"m in love with these! I'm a sucker for cookies, candy and chips so these have my name written all over them. Pinning and trying asap.
April 23, 2013 at 6:12 pm
I am with you! I can not keep my eyes open pst 10, but I think I could do it for these cookies!!! They look so good! I need one now and it is only 4:06pm!
April 23, 2013 at 6:17 pm
I'm in love with this cookie concept! I finally tried your favorite CCC recipe and it was MARVELOUS!!! No, seriosly. I KNOW these will be delicious. Thanks for a new cookie recipe!!
P.S. Do you think these will freeze? Your CCC's freeze very well…Only way I can control myself. 😉
April 23, 2013 at 6:35 pm
These look great whether late night or during the day. I love the simplicity of using chopped up snickers for the caramel and chocolate portion.
April 23, 2013 at 7:03 pm
Potato chips and snickers? I'm in looooooooove.
April 23, 2013 at 7:07 pm
So funny, because I'm not much a night snacker past 10 either. But my hubs on the other hand, can sure put down a full on meal at 2 am…getting straight out of a sleep, no less! These would be perfect to have out for his "dessert"! But in my case…these would be my all day snacking companions!
April 23, 2013 at 7:13 pm
Ahh, I don't think I've seen that B&J flavor–how did I miss that?! I'm going to have to go seek it out now. And make these cookies.
April 23, 2013 at 7:29 pm
Oh yum! I love the salty and sweet combination!
April 23, 2013 at 8:09 pm
These sound great.. But not a snicker fan, wonder what Mars Bars would be like and don't have enough chips but a huge bag of pretzels been wanting to experiment with – crushing them up and putting them into a cookie.
April 23, 2013 at 8:15 pm
These sound fantastic. I could eat them all day!
April 23, 2013 at 9:46 pm
I LOVE that there are snickers in these!
April 23, 2013 at 11:03 pm
Potato chips in cookies?! Genius
April 23, 2013 at 11:08 pm
I adore a salty/sweet combo so these are right up my alley!
April 23, 2013 at 11:10 pm
Ending on that note…I think it's time for a little late night snack. Today ice cream and in the near future, these cookies. Thanks from 3girls1apple.com
April 24, 2013 at 8:29 am
Cookies ALWAYS beat crocheting…unless you're my grandmother. Then, maybe crocheting wins.
OK…I must have these cookies in my life. And since I can't keep my eyes open past 9pm, I'll call them "mid-morning snack" cookies. 😉
April 24, 2013 at 9:24 am
Girl.. these cookies.. Potato chips and snickers in a cookie.. I need these..like pronto..
April 24, 2013 at 9:55 am
Perfection. Yes.
April 24, 2013 at 10:58 am
If I was grabbing these as a snack, they'd turn into a meal! I wouldn't be able to stop at one – ha!
April 24, 2013 at 11:36 am
I too can't keep my eyes open past 10pm… but I would get up early to eat these
April 24, 2013 at 12:08 pm
These look dangerous. I try not eat after dinner, but some night fail miserably!
April 24, 2013 at 1:34 pm
I definitely do a LOT of snacking while watching Grey's…and these would certainly be the perfect accompaniment!
April 24, 2013 at 1:45 pm
Chocolate covered potato chips are amazing. I've been wanting to try the ben and jerry's for that alone, but maybe I'll just try the cookie!
April 24, 2013 at 6:23 pm
These sounds awesome!
April 24, 2013 at 8:39 pm
Oooh, I'm definitely feeling snacky now!!
April 24, 2013 at 10:09 pm
These look wonderful and I'm loving the salty/sweet combo! Perfect midnight snack!!
April 24, 2013 at 10:41 pm
What a great sweet and salty and crunchy combination!
April 25, 2013 at 4:04 am
Thanks for the recipe. It came out quite nicely. In fact I made them for the kids but my husband chowed down almost half of it.
May 2, 2013 at 4:51 am
I really love your site. I have been obsessing over food blogs and sites for years now, but I am just now getting into cooking everything homemade. I love it! Your sense of humor is awesome and your site inspires me to make my own blog, so thank you! 😀
May 13, 2013 at 4:43 pm
I made these this weekend! Delish…So good…So easy…Great with a glass of milk or my AM coffee. Next time, I will likely use dark chocolate snickers. Thank you for sharing!
P.S. Still waiting to see if they survive the freezer.
September 17, 2013 at 9:40 pm
You can't go wrong with sweet & salty! Delicious!
November 24, 2013 at 8:25 am
I'm SOO jealous! I actually watched that particular B & J ice cream go into production on a TV show, but they don't have this one here in blighty. Yes it's cold a lot here, but you can't beat a tub of B & J's when you're bored, or sad, or lonely or you just want something yummy and naughty and amazing. Now, as this particular ice cream ISN'T available here, I can't thank you enough for giving us a cookie equivalent. I just hope I can do it justice, or make it in a way my husband hates so there's more for me! Keep coming with the recipe ideas, they are fantastic! Many thanks again! 😀

Apple to use Intel MID chips for iPhone?
updated 02:15 am EDT, Wed October 3, 2007
Apple and Intel Moorestown
Apple may switch from a custom architecture for the iPhone to an Intel reference design once the technology falls into place, according to early reports from part makers. Although a teardown of the first run of the iPhone revealed that it uses an ARM-based processor and a custom mainboard, the company is said to be investigating a switch to Intel's future mobile Internet device (MID) architecture known as Moorestown. The new platform is based on a much cooler 45-nanometer manufacturing process than the chips in today's handheld PCs and would not only be ten times more power-efficient in active use than the first Intel handhelds but would consume ten times less power while idle -- which could allow for nearly all-day battery life, according to Intel.
Such a move would have an impact on both Apple itself and the market as a whole, say the insiders. Intel has so far positioned the MID as an interim step between limited-use devices and full-fledged UMPCs with many of the full software features of the latter but a reduced mobile OS and a narrower focus. An iPhone using the same platform would open Moorestown to smartphones and other more universal handhelds. Notebooks could also be affected, the sources add.
The change would also bring the iPhone's codebase closer in step with that of the company's Mac computer range. ARM was technically designed by Intel but has never been software compatible with Intel's more widespread x86 core, and was ultimately spun away from the semiconductor firm to be used and modified by third parties like Marvell. A Moorestown-based iPhone would ease development for Apple by allowing mobile editions of Mac OS X to share some new features from the full OS editions without rewriting or recompiling instructions.
Moorestown is not due to launch until 2009 but would be based heavily on its 2008 predecessor Menlow, which would also use the smaller manufacturing process and is expected to support the wireless Internet technology Apple would need for an updated iPhone. 3G (HSDPA), WiFi, and WiMAX (4G) will all be options for the 2008 design and should be in place or improved in time for Moorestown's release.

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) - A'Dia Mathies and Bernisha Pinkett scored 13 points each to lead No. 13 Kentucky to a 76-40 victory Sunday over Mississippi State and clinch the Wildcats' first regular season Southeastern Conference title in 30 years.
Kentucky (24-5, 13-3 SEC) opened the game on a 19-7 run and led 41-17 at the half. The Wildcats shot 40.3 percent (27-of-67) from the floor and hit 15-of-22 free throws. Kentucky will return home and celebrate its first title since 1982 later Sunday night on campus.
MSU (14-15, 4-12) shot 26.4 percent (14-of-53) from the field in the loss and turned the ball over a season-high 33 times.
Kendra Grant led MSU with 9 points.
The Bulldogs finished the season on a four-game losing streak. The loss also marked retiring MSU head coach Sharron Fanning-Otis's last regular season game.

The federal government recently announced a compelling plan to jump-start states on Medicaid expansion.
If states agreed to expansion, the government would pay the entirety of the costs, 100 percent, for three years, then the federal government would pay 90 percent of the costs.
The idea was meant to be straightforward; states could ensure that hundreds of thousands of their constituents would gain health care access they couldn't afford before, and the states would be required to pay nothing for three years, and even after that would only pay a small portion of the cost. Simple, right? ...

'I left Wales, was not allowed to apply for the throws coaching job and instead they employed a guy who had made himself unpopular within the group for one reason or another. While in Wales, athletes I coached broke all age group discus records and some UK ones and most of the shot ones in 3 years. This coach I assume is in charge now of the athletes. He has never coached anyone over 50m in the discus event - the U15 lad threw over 50m as did the U17, U20 U23 an senior threw over 60m so what is this guy going to offer them. Same in the shot where his best athlete he has ever coached threw 16m with a 5kg and Wales have 16-18m throwers in various age groups. SO how is this an improvement as Geoff alluded to? This coach is a development coach at best - but has worked closely with Pickering -- so may I allege that he was parachuted into this role.'
This is all on the P10 so is a fact. I notice most of the people he was coaching do not appear on his p10 so they must have parted company.
PS I am not Frank form AD either.
PPS this is nothing to do with the thread - maybe if you wnat to carry on do it on another thread or privately Why would I make this stuff up when time and time again it has been proven e.g look at the telegraph circa dec 6th 2011 about how uka adn cvc treated me
PPPS - The powers that be do read this and scan these and dissenting posts are recorded and files are kept. How do I know because at least two people on this thread who work or worked for the NGB and also people in the very highest posts told me, but there are some things I will keep to myself!

ED WHITE,Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) — By the end of the year, Detroit wants to submit a plan to emerge from bankruptcy, an attorney said Friday, an aggressive timetable that's two months earlier than a judge proposed for a city hoping to shed billions of debt.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes held the second hearing since Detroit became the largest city to file for Chapter 9 protection two weeks ago. It mostly was a housekeeping docket, with key deadlines and dates discussed, but also served as a forum for Rhodes to encourage all sides to keep talking about ways to settle debts.
Detroit claims it has at least $18 billion in liabilities, from underfunded pensions and health care costs to bonds that lack city revenue to be paid off.
Rhodes gave creditors a week to privately file opinions on the appointment of a mediator, Detroit chief federal judge Gerald Rosen, but said he strongly believes it's a good idea.
"Consensual resolution is in the best interest of the citizens of the city of Detroit," Rhodes said, adding that it could be hard for a "strong, vibrant" city to emerge if the parties turn to "long, bitter litigation."
A deal is "better than a cram-down" from the court, the judge said later.
David Heiman, an attorney for Detroit, agreed and said the city and some unsecured creditors have been talking regularly, although significant differences remain. He said the city hopes to submit a plan by Dec. 31 to emerge from bankruptcy.
"Our view is that time is our enemy," Heiman said. "The facts are not going to change."
Nonetheless, there still are many hurdles.
Rhodes, for example, has to determine whether Detroit is even eligible for bankruptcy. Creditors will have an opportunity to argue that the city hasn't negotiated in good faith. A multi-day trial on the eligibility question has been proposed for Oct. 23.
And there's another critical issue: Michigan's constitution bars breaking public pensions, which are a key part of the city's liabilities. Rhodes agreed that a committee should be formed to represent the interests of more than 20,000 Detroit retirees. The committee will have a professional staff, and the city will foot the bill.
The judge opened the hearing in an unusual way, declaring that he doesn't run Detroit. It wasn't clear what motivated him to make the statement.
"The city's elected and appointed officials remain in full control of the city and its operations," Rhodes said, adding that any complaints or compliments should go to City Hall.
Detroit is being run by emergency manager Kevyn Orr, a bankruptcy specialist appointed in March by Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder.

Alternate title: Twilight
Those who watch murder mysteries chiefly in order to savor the dark desolation which some of them bring to life will be overjoyed at this grim tale, which follows the attempts of an obsessed policeman to solve the serial killings of little girls even after he has been taken off the case. Most of the girls were killed in the woods, and the officer spends much of his time in them attempting to recreate the murders in his own imagination so as to understand them and perhaps solve them. Little comes of his efforts, but the sad mood of the blackened, wintery woods is strongly evoked. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

So your rogue has finally hit 70, you've gotten some decent blue gear, and you're preparing to raid, PVP, or do whatever else your little heart desires. Then one day, your guild leader, class leader, or some random jerk on the forums calls you out. Sure, you've got nice gear, but you've done nothing to improve it! No expensive enchants, no gems, no leg armor, no shiny little items from various professions.
Making the mental shift from quickly-discarded quest gear to long-term end-game gear can be tough -- and it can be just as difficult figuring out what enhancements to use. Is it time to spring for the big-name enchantments and such, or should I stick to what's cheap and easy? To help you out, today we'll cover what your friendly neighborhood enchanter can do for your gear. In two weeks or so, we'll revisit the topic to look at glyphs, armor kits, gems, and other such non-enchanty enchants.
- Dodge: Dodge is nice for rogues, but this is really more of a tanking enchant. Plus, the pre-BC mats are probably too expensive for the mere 12 dodge rating. Twinks only! 2/10 PVE, 5/10 PVP.
- Greater Agility: 12 agi is worth a lot for rogues, as a major infusion of our best all-around stat. And with only one Primal Air and a minimum of enchanting mats, this is a serious bargain for serious PVE and PVP rogues. 9/10 PVE, 8/10 PVP.
- Major Resistance: To gain a mediocre 7 resist to all schools of magic, expect to spend upwards of 300g on this sixteen Primal enchant. Pass! PVE 1/10, PVP 2/10.
- Stealth: This interesting enchant effectively gives you an extra level of stealth, giving you an advantage in battlegrounds and world PVP. However, unless you're farming chests, it does little good in PVE. 3/10 PVP, 6/10 PVP.
- Subtlety: By far the most desired cloak enchant for most DPS classes, rogues shouldn't need the 2% decrease in threat from this moderately expensive enchant. Get it if you keep pulling aggro, or if your Vanish button is broken. PVE 6/10, PVP 0/10.
- Exceptional Health: 150 health is nothing to sneeze at, but it's not going to increase your DPS in PVE (unless you die a lot.) 5/10 PVE, 7/10 PVP.
- Exceptional Stats: Sure, the 6 int and 6 spirit you get from this are going to waste, but there's not really a lot of awesome chest enchants out there. Semi-expensive but worth it. 8/10 PVE, 7/10 PVP.
- Major Resilience: Cheap and easy, just like ... well, fill in your own insult here. The 15 resilience is far superior to 150 health in PVP, at least until you have enough resilience from other things. 1/10 PVE, 9/10 PVP.
- Assault: This 24 AP enchant is extraordinarily cheap, and as one of the first 300+ enchants, you can probably get a leveling enchanter to do it free -- or even provide mats! Just be nice and tip. 8/10 PVE, 8/10 PVP.
- Brawn: 15 strength is superior to 24 AP for feral druids and warriors, but even with Blessing of Kings, you're better off sticking with Assault. 5/10 PVE, 5/10 PVP.
- Fortitude: One of the more expensive bracer enchants, this 75g+ modification gives you 12 stamina. Good for the dedicated PVPer. 4/10 PVE, 8/10 PVP.
- Stats: The presence of Assault and Fortitude make this +4 to all stats enchant much less desirable than on the chest. 5/10 PVE, 5/10 PVP.
- Assault: Same as above -- inexpensive, easy to find, and powerful. This one grants you 26 AP for 8 Arcane Dust. 8/10 PVE, 8/10 PVP.
- Major Strength: The 15 strength here is closer to Assault than it is on the bracers, but the AP still wins in a shootout. 5/10 PVE, 5/10 PVP.
- Minor Haste: Haste rating is one of the two new stat kings in BC, but this 10 haste enchant only increases your speed by 0.6% at 70. Plus, do you really want to find two Kingsblood? 6/10 PVE, 6/10 PVP.
- Superior Agility: Ah, here we go. This former AQ40 enchant, now gotten at exalted with Keepers of Time, gives you 15 more of your favorite stat. It's moderately expensive, though, so rogues on a budget may want to stick with Assault. 9/10 PVE, 9/10 PVP.
- Various Skills: If you want your riding, herbalism, mining or skinning to get a small stat boost, put these on a spare set of gloves. However, you're going to get laughed at if you go into battle with them. 0/10 PVE, 1/10 PVP (riding only).
Boar's Speed: Which is faster, a boar or a cat? According to these enchants, they both give you an 8% speed increase, and in the boar's case, 10 stamina. On any other body part, this would be the superior PVP enchant, but Cat's Swiftness and Surefooted give it a run for its money. Plus, it's rare (blue world drop) and moderately expensive (100g+), and speed boosts don't stack past 8%. 6/10 PVE, 9/10 PVP.
Cat's Swiftness: Like the boar, except with 6 agi instead of 10 stam. It looks nice and is very useful for people who both PVE and PVP, but the mats are insanely expensive (300g+ because of 8 Primal Air.) Skip it and use Dexterity for PVE and Boar's Speed for PVP. 7/10 PVE, 7/10 PVP.
Dexterity: This 12 agility enchant drops from a boss in Auchenai Crypts, and like many boot recipes, can be difficult to find. It's pretty cheap, though, and is technically the best PVE damage enchant. 9/10 PVE, 6/10 PVP.
Fortitude: 12 stam would look a heck of a lot better if Boar's Speed and Surefooted weren't around. However, this enchant only uses Arcane Dust and is a nice bargain for the PVPer that's short of cash. 5/10 PVE, 8/10 PVP.
Surefooted: A very weird enchant, Surefooted is a Karazhan drop that gives you 10 hit rating and 5% snare and root resistance. The 10 hit can be killer for PVE rogues looking to reach the hit cap, and the snare resist is invaluable in PVP. However, it requires two Void Crystals and a Primal Nether, so expect to shell out a LOT of cash. 8/10 PVE, 9/10 PVP.
Battlemaster: This expensive enchant occasionally heals your party of 180-300 health when you hit the enemy. Good for the self-sacrificing martyr type of rogue, but the rest of us are probably looking for something more dependable that will actually increase our DPS and not generate enough threat to kill us. Very bad choice for PVE. 1/10 PVE, 3/10 PVP.
Executioner: A new enchant from Zul'Aman, little is known about this ability in practice. It occasionally ignores 840 of your opponent's armor, and appears to proc once per minute. Theorycrafters suggest that top-end rogues will use this enchant on their mainhands and Mongoose offhand -- but don't hold your breath waiting for a friend to find the recipe. 10/10 PVE, 9/10 PVP.
Greater Agility: This 20 agi enchant comes from exalted with the Violet Eye. Agility is always nice, but this is a bit expensive for its quality, running much more than Major Striking. 7/10 PVE, 7/10 PVP.
Major Striking: Adding 7 additional points of damage to your weapon, this is a nice, affordable enchant for your weapons. It's about equal to Greater Agility in effectiveness, so if you're on a budget, put this on your MH and agi on your OH. 7/10 PVE, 7/10 PVP.
Mongoose: The premier rogue enchant occasionally gives you 120 agility and a 2% attack speed increase for 15 seconds. An average proc of once per minute means an average of 30 agi and 0.5% attack speed -- and it can double-proc if you have two weapons with it. I dual-wield Mongoose, which explains where all my money went -- expect to pay several hundred gold for it. 10/10 PVE, 9/10 PVP.
Potency: A 20 strength enchant, this used to be okay for offhands before Greater Agility became available. Leave it to the strength-based classes. 4/10 PVE, 4/10 PVP.

NORTH SALEM — The families of two North Salem boys killed during Superstorm Sandy released a statement Tuesday expressing gratitude to residents and the emergency responders who came to their aid.
Best friends Jack Baumler, 11, and Michael Robson, 13, were killed when a large tree fell into the Baumler residence.
The families wrote that they wished to formally thank the firemen, first responders, and EMTs (HEROES) who rushed to the lake in a valiant effort to save our two young men. With little regard for their own safety, they worked under horrific conditions. Our neighbors rushed into the home as well. To identify one or two people would be a disservice to the scores of heroes there that night. You know who you are and so do we.
The community response to our loss has been overwhelming, the letter continues. Your hugs and prayers have comforted our aching hearts.

Rasmussen: Pence Leads Bayh by 3 Points
Run, Mike, run!
9:40 AM, Jan 25, 2010 • By JOHN MCCORMACK
A new Rasmussen poll on the 2010 Indiana Senate race shows Republican congressman Mike Pence leading Democratic senator Evan Bayh 47 percent to 44 percent. Pence is the only Republican leading Bayh in the poll (though Bayh doesn't get more than 45 percent against any potential GOP challenger). The boss endorsed a Senate run by Pence last month.
Some have argued that it would be difficult for Pence to overcome Bayh's $12 million war chest--one of the largest among all senators--but as Patrick Ruffini and Mindy Finn note in a Washington Post op-ed, Scott Brown raised $12 million in two weeks online. Money does not stand between Pence and the U.S. Senate. This seat is his for the taking.

Faithless - Bring My Family Back (Acoustic) Standard tuning This is from the acoustic set played at Glastonbury 1999 (on YouTube), I figured it out so I figured I might as well just post it. Well it's not perfect, I'm quite aware that there are a few wrong bits but if anyone wants to use it as a start to find the small problems be my guest! The chords are: (The names are wrong! I just guessed them ;P) [Am/E] [G/E] [Fmaj7sus2/E] [D6sus2/E] e|-0-----------0-----------0-----------0-| b|-0-----------0-----------5-----------5-| g|-5-----------4-----------5-----------5-| d|-7-----------5-----------3-----------0-| a|-7-----------5-----------3-----------3-| e|---------------------------------------| Fingerpick the start obviously.

Just listen to the song and its really easy to figure out the strumming pattern and order. Sorted!
the end is wrong. (After the second Change of the Fingerpick)

The redesigned 2014 Chevrolet Silverado is one of General Motors' most important products as it moves forward.
General Motors has had two monkeys on its back: the pending launch of redesigned full-size trucks and the stigma of government ownership.
The U.S. government plans to sell 40% of its GM stock by the end of the year and the remainder within 12 to 15 months. It comes as the automaker is poised to launch more new models in 2013 than in any year since its 2009 bankruptcy.
The timing is perfect. Americans are expected to buy at least 15 million new cars and trucks in 2013, which would be the industry's best year since 2007. "The focus will be on products and technology at the (Detroit auto) show," said ...

The Cost of Being a Pirate in New Jersey...$10 G's
February 11, 2011 - The FCC has leveled a $10,000 fine against a Pirate operator Bernabe Moreno in New Jersey. They says Moreno's been operating on the frequency 102.3. Agents first inspected the facility in April of last year. Agents found the station operating in a building on Monroe street in Passaic. Back in April Moreno told the agents that he owns and operates the station. The agents observed that the station was active at the time of the inspection until Mr. Moreno turned off the station at the agents request.
The agents verbally warned Mr. Moreno about the consequences of continued operation of an unlicensed radio station. Agents Observed an FM broadcast antenna on the roof of the building and a coaxial cable going from the antenna on the roof to the second floor of the building. The agents subsequently took field strength measurements and determined that the signals being broadcast exceeded the limits for operation under Part 15 of the Commissions rules and therefore required a license.

Woman with knife robs girls for Halloween candy, police say
PORTLAND, Ore. --- Someone in Northeast Portland wanted Halloween candy so bad last night it was criminal.
Three 14-year-old girls said they were trick-o-treating when they were approached by a woman, who pulled out a pocket knife and demanded their bags of candy, Portland police said.
The girls were walking in the area of Northeast 22nd Avenue and Thompson Street and reported the robbery at about 10 p.m.
The girls told police the woman approached them and struck up a conversation. As they began walking away, she demanded their candy.
After handing over the sweets, the girls realized their cellphones were in the bags of candy. After asking for their phones back, the suspect acquiesced, handing two of the girls' their phones back (the third cellphone wasn't found), police said.
The woman then left with the candy, fleeing in a waiting vehicle in the area.
"Responding officers provided the victims with a large bag of 'replacement candy,'" a Portland police news release said.
She is described as white, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 120 pounds, with a thin build and long brown hair. She was wearing black shorts, a black hooded jacket and the suspect vehicle was a green 2005 Subaru 4-door.
Anyone with information should call detectives at 503-823-0405.

In 1688, an Irish polymath named William Molyneux wrote the English philosopher John Locke a letter in which he posed a vexing question: Could a blind person, upon suddenly gaining the ability to see, recognize an object by sight that he'd previously known by feel? The answer has potentially important implications for philosophers and neuroscientists alike. Now, researchers working with a medical charity that provides surgery to restore vision in blind children say they've found the answer to Molyneux's question [2]. It's "no" but with a twist.
Molyneux posed his question in the midst of a philosophical debate about how we comprehend the world around us. An affirmative answer to the question would support the argument that we possess innate (and presumably God-given) concepts that are independent of the senses—for example, that we possess a concept of a sphere, regardless of whether we have only seen one, only felt one, or both. A negative answer to Molyneux's question would support the alternative argument that any concept of a sphere or other object must be tied to sensory experience. In that view, a blind person would have only a tactile concept of a sphere that would be of no use in recognizing the shape by sight.
For modern neuroscientists, Molyneux's question raises issues about how the brain integrates information from the different senses, says Richard Held, a professor emeritus of brain and cognitive sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge. In search of the elusive answer, Held teamed up with MIT colleague Pawan Sinha, who founded an organization in 2003 to help blind children in India. Called Project Prakash [3], after the Sanskrit word for "light," the group collaborates with Indian surgeons who operate to restore sight in children who've been blind from cataracts or other curable causes.
Held, Sinha, and colleagues recruited five children, ages 8 to 17, from Project Prakash to tackle Molyneux's question. The researchers built 20 pairs of simple shapes from toy blocks and tested the children within 48 hours of the surgery to restore their sight. The children had not encountered these unusual shapes before. In one experiment, the researchers gave the children a shape to feel (without looking), then asked them to feel two more shapes and indicate which was the same as the first one they'd felt. All five children chose the right shape more than 90% of the time. In a second experiment, the children could look but not touch. Again they nailed it. But on the third and most crucial experiment, their performance plummeted. After feeling a shape, the children did only slightly better than chance at identifying it by sight alone, the team reports online today [4] in Nature Neuroscience.
That result suggests a negative answer to Molyneux's question. Because many children travel long distances for the operations, most go home with their families before the researchers can do follow-up experiments, Sinha says. However, when the researchers retested two of the boys with a new set of shapes a few days later, their accuracy on the touch-to-vision experiment jumped to above 80%. That suggests a more nuanced answer of "initially no but subsequently yes," Sinha says.
"It's a great story," says Alvaro Pascual-Leone, a neurologist and neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School in Boston. The change in the children's ability to integrate touch and vision happens too fast to be explained by major rewiring in the brain, Pascual-Leone says. Even though they grew up recognizing objects by touch, they needed only a little bit of visual experience to learn to translate between the two senses. "They're not starting from zero," he says.

Maybe Harbaugh never got the memo. He sees himself at war and that means he has lost perspective.
He sure doesn't do things the 49ers' way. He doesn't use the West Coast offense. That's obvious. And he has forsaken another 49ers' tradition established by Bill Walsh.
Walsh Axiom: Get rid of a player BEFORE he hits the downside of his career.
Walsh was ruthless about cutting ties with players, men he liked, men who still could play. He saw the team as a living organism and he wanted the organism vital and young.
Among the players he let go were Fred Dean, John Ayers, Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds and Ray Wersching. There were others.
Wersching was upset with Walsh for years. One day, he came to Walsh's office at Stanford. I was there. He and Walsh spoke privately in a conference room. Afterward, Walsh sat with me, his face white, his hands shaking, He said he appreciated Ray giving him the chance to make things right.
George Seifert, a nice man, also could be ruthless. Seifert cut ties with Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott and Roger Craig. All were outstanding players when they left the 49ers and two of them are in the Hall of Fame. It bears repeating that one of them was Joe freaking Montana.
In addition to being ruthless — in an organization-replenishing sense — Walsh and Seifert had a succession plan, young guys to replace aging guys.
That brings us to Harbaugh. He depends heavily, desperately on three old players — old by NFL standards — three players Walsh and Seifert would have given the standard-issue gold watch and sent on their way.
The players are Frank Gore, 30; Anquan Boldin, 32, and Justin Smith, 34. Harbaugh has overestimated the shelf life of these men as dominant players, and he hasn't shown the proper urgency to bring in replacements. A coach and general manager must think two years ahead. Harbaugh and Trent Baalke are lost in the moment.

DaniWeb founder Dani Horowitz talks about losing about 50% of their traffic due to Panda.
Video: DaniWeb Speaks out on Recovering from Google Panda
There may be some useful info here. I have been a member there for several years, but have not used the forum for quite a while because the speed performance got to be so bad. She really had the site loaded up with useless garbage and I got tired of waiting 20 or more seconds for each page to load.
I suspect that the speed issue was what got the site wacked, which is in line with Dani's theory that her forum got snagged for something other than Panda.
Dani is pretty geeky, which makes her a little hard to listen to. :woot: However, she is pretty knowledgeable about most tech issues.
