Marriage Equality: The cure for unemployment (worries)
Postedon Dec 08, 2010 at 09:30 am
On Monday, impoverished Imperial County, California, a largely agricultural desert county east of San Diego, appeared as the only governmental entity in the state of California to seek standing to defend Proposition 8.
With recent polling showing that a majority of Latino Catholics now support marriage equality, one wonders whether the working-class (and deeply unemployed) Latino majority of Imperial County is setting the moral agenda or being played by a highly motivated set of outsiders

women's board for cautious intermediate rider
Hi there,
I demo'd a Burton Lipstick board this weekend and loved it. I tried the 141 and 145, but the 141 suited me better, even though it's a little too small for my 5'5" 124lb self. That may partially be setup. The 145's stance was about the same width as my old 143 Roxy, and due to a hip problem, I can't stand that wide anymore without discomfort.
While I loved the Lipstick, the price was a little high, especially since I'd need to get EST bindings. Also, some reviews say the Lipstick doesn't have the best edge hold. I board in Tahoe, so more often than not, it's hard pack. I don't need ice-grips, but I want to feel secure on hard pack.
I currently have Salomon Absolute bindings that are about four years old and in great shape because I only board 3-5 days a year. I also have Salomon Ivy Boa boots, size 7.5, that I picked up last year.
While I've been boarding for years, I don't go often, and I am very cautious (read: scaredy cat). I don't like to go fast. I am happy on greens with the occasional blue. I never go off the beaten path. I ride the hills in the baby park and aspire to one day actually jump a little. I consider myself intermediate in that I can link turns fine, but I sometimes struggle turning to toe smoothly with my Roxy. I'm looking for a board that turns easily, has decent grip, and will be stable at moderate speeds.
After a lot of reading and confusion, here's what I'm considering:
K2 Bright Lite/Lunatique 142 (weight range is surprisingly up to 160lbs)
GNU B-Nice (sounds pretty good overall, but I'd need a 145 and am concerned about maneuverability with a narrower stance)
Any thoughts or other suggestions? I'd like to stay under $400 MSRP. Thanks!

1) Arbor Poparazzi 143
2) Never Summer Pandora 143
3) (if shes feeling a little more aggressive) Never Summer Infinity 145
The only one that will come under $400 new will be the Arbor. The infinity, which I think will allow you to possibly gain a bit more confidence with its stable ride comes in around $479. Not saying there arent better choices out there, but these are what Ive considered for my wife.

The Pandora mentioned above is a bit above your price range but it's what I bought last year and I absolutely adore it. At the time I got it I was a bit more advanced than you, though not much. Mostly riding blues and tackling the occasional black, but only because that's what my friends were doing and I was terrified most of the time. I was able to competently link turns but was having trouble with my old board through turns and didn't feel confident with the edge hold on ice and hard pack (old board was a 2011 Ride Rapture).
After getting the Pandora the difference was huge. I ended the season doing mostly blacks and trees (something I would originally have told you I'd never do) and keeping up with my friends pretty well. I'm still not a speed demon but the board is so much smoother to ride and feels so much more secure on ice and hard pack and through turns that I can definitely handle way higher speeds than I was previously comfortable with.
I'm 5'6" and ~110-115lbs with a 7.5 foot, so pretty similar to you. I'm definitely not an aggressive rider and I don't build muscle easily so I wanted something that was soft and easy to handle. I debated between the 146 and 143 and ended up on the longer board because I didn't want lose too much float in powder. I've been happy with that choice but I think 143 would have worked fine as well.
There are probably some other good choices out there but the Pandora is definitely worth putting on your list. I will say that I tried out a few other boards belonging to my friends while I was picking out a new board (couldn't afford to demo) and it was clear to me that part of my issue with the Rapture was that I didn't like the way the rocker profile rode. If you can, it might be worth trying out a few boards with different profiles before you make a final choice (though obviously riding only a few times a year that may be hard).

I got an Infinity a month or so ago. It's a great board....I've started to get used to it and am really liking it. But there was a bit of a learning curve on it for me. I choose it for really hard pack days and when im going to be hanging on steeper stuff (double blues, blacks). I still catch an edge now and again on cat tracks on it, which has always been my weakest area of riding. It is a solid board though.
I demo'd a K2 Eco Lite a week after I got the Infinity. I fell in love with it the first run, and decided right then I was buying one (even though I had just dropped $500+ on the Infinity). I think you would love it for the kind of riding you do. It is so stable and forgiving on flatter terrain (greens, cat tracks etc), super hard to catch an edge, and soooo easy to turn!

Thanks for the responses! I took a trip to Any Mountain this evening, and I happened to find a 142 Lunatique marked down to $215. I had to give it a try. At 3 or so days of boarding a year, I just couldn't justify spending $400 right now.

When I was a kid, a favorite past-time was climbing. I grew up in Vegas (which wasn't much of a city way back when...), so my friends and I would race up palm trees, and we'd play under the bleachers in the local high school. Being idiots -- as all kids are -- we would try to jump off higher and higher things. Finally, one kid jumped off the announcer's booth and broke his leg. But the climbing ... single-file line was stop and go. We had 20 meters to climb to get to a vestibule. At around 10 meters (which took maybe 30 minutes with the line), I started to freak out a little. I don't know if it was the height per se; maybe also a bit of claustrophobia. But by the time we made it up, I was also freaking out about the height.
Since then, I have been a little woozy high up. Weird, huh?

As if the death of a child isn't enough, there is more trouble for a Brenham family.
The father of the two-year-old who died last month allegedly at the hands of her baby sitter, has now had his own run-in with the law.
Police say Manuel Lopez, Alexia Lopez's father, was driving erratically Tuesday afternoon in Brenham. When a police officer pulled him over, Lopez, 24, allegedly stopped, got out of the car, yelled a few profanities, hopped back in the car and took police on a high speed chase.
Police say the 10 minute, 90 mph chase started in Brenham and ended close to Hempstead.
Several officers were involved in the chase and the Department of Public Safety even got involved. DPS says it laid spike strips, that caused one of Lopez's tires to blow out, but when Lopez kept going, troopers eventually shot the tires out with a rifle.
Lopez was arrested and charged with evading arrest, which is a felony. He is currently out of jail on a $5,000 bond.
As for the reason behind Lopez's erratic behavior, his friend tells News 3 he may have had a nervous breakdown.
However, police are still investigating the situation.
On another note, police are still searching for the Brenham baby sitter accused of killing Alexia Lopez. Berny Figueroa, 29, has been charged with capital murder after allegedly striking the toddler, causing fatal internal injuries.

The U.S. Department of Justice has faulted the city school district for failing to remove two students in wheelchairs from New Rochelle High School when the building was evacuated of other students and faculty members because of burning wires.
In an Aug. 5 letter, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara wrote that the district violated the Americans with Disabilities Act when it left the two teenagers in the building during the Jan. 31 incident.
Parents of the students were happy with the decision, which requested that the district change its procedures and pay "compensatory damages" to the families. ...

Why is Firefly's Cancellation So Unforgiveable?

Location: Mannheim, Germany
Re: Why is Firefly's Cancellation So Unforgiveable?
Many reasons why Fox gets the blame..
a) Firefly is a chronological show.. while each episode is mostly self contained they do build on each other and because Fox run them in a disorderly fashion people were scratching their heads when some events were referenced which they didn't see
b) Serenity was the pilot episode and got shown last
c) The Friday slot of death.. no show save X-Files made it if it was in that slot
d) Not as much advertising as should have been.. if you are producing or paying for an expensive SF show make sure everybody knows about it
e) When all these factors led to unsatisfactory viewership numbers Fox just gave it the ax without trying other slots or something else..
f) Fox repeatedly hampered attempts to release this show to other stations.. it was their property and they clung to it as if it was worth something to them
g) DVD sales were gigantic and so were reviews of the show but Fox never considered a re-launch.. there obviously was interest but Fox ignored it
h) In an unparalleled move Firefly even got its own movie (and not a direct to DVD kind of thing).. while not that successful to warrant sequels it still was a success
All considered Firefly fans were pissed that the show was never properly treated by Fox so it couldn't have a chance to build an audience besides hardcore SF fans. So naturally it slumped and immediately got the axe.. as if Fox execs just waited for the opportunity to burn it down.
This is what pisses of Firefly fans.. if the show had proper support like other shows and failed they would still bitch about it but it would have been less.. Firefly had its chance and failed. But as it stands it was sabotaged by Fox from the beginning.

Today I ate... My recipe. :)posted @3:15pm ET on November 4, 2011
So, I have made my own recipe:
I boil rice, then I fry carrots and onions together with the ecological olive oil for some two minutes, then I add to them Heinz ecological ketchup (I know that's not the best choice)fry it all together for some minutes and then I add to this all the boiled rice and then I fry it all together for a while. So I ate one portion of that today and left the second one for tomorrow. I guess there were around 50g of rice, though I am not really sure.
I also ate two apples and I drank two glasses of milk.
btw, I would like to hear your opinion on ketchup consumption. :p

|Rewarming after hypothermia after cardiac arrest shifts the inflammatory balance.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22020246 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to simultaneously analyze the key components of the cerebral and systemic inflammatory response over time in cardiac arrest patients during mild therapeutic hypothermia and rewarming.
DESIGN AND SETTING: Clinical observational study in a tertiary care university hospital.
PATIENTS: Ten comatose patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
INTERVENTIONS: All patients were cooled to 32-34°C for 24 hrs. After 24 hrs patients were passively rewarmed to normothermia.
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: On admission and at 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hrs blood samples were taken from the arterial and jugular bulb catheter. Proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (interleukin-1ra, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, interleukin-10, interleukin-18, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, high-mobility group box-1 and tumor necrosis factor-α), complement activation products (C4d, Bb, C3a, and terminal complement complex), and the adhesion molecule soluble intercellular adhesion molecule were measured. Mean temperatures at the start of the study and at 12 and 24 hrs were 33.7 ± 0.9°C, 32.7 ± 0.92°C, and 34.5 ± 1.5°C, respectively. Passive rewarming resulted in a temperature of 37.8 ± 0.5°C at 48 hrs. The proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 increased from 12 to 24 hrs and returned to baseline levels after 48 hrs. In contrast, the chemokines interleukin-8 and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 stayed relatively high from the start and during the hypothermia period, decreasing to baseline levels after 48 hrs. The anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-10 and interleukin-1ra did not significantly change during mild therapeutic hypothermia and rewarming, although low values of interleukin-10 were observed after rewarming. A significant increase after rewarming was demonstrated on high-mobility group box-1 concentrations in the jugular bulb, whereas soluble intercellular adhesion molecule increased significantly during hypothermia and remained at this level after rewarming. Complement activation was increased on admission and decreased after induction of hypothermia, followed by a secondary increase during rewarming. No significant differences between any of the biomarkers were found between samples from the arterial and jugular bulb catheter.
CONCLUSIONS: Complement activation occurs during rewarming from mild therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest. Interleukin-6 increased already from 12 to 24 hrs, concomitantly with a significant increase in the temperature seen during this period of mild therapeutic hypothermia. The optimal rate of rewarming is unknown. Additional clinical studies are needed to determine the optimal rewarming rate and strategy.

I am grateful to the more than 1,800 Republican and Democratic voters in the York Suburban School District who supported me for re-election to the board. Because of you, I will be on both ballots in the November election. I appreciate the passion you have shown and expressed to me in support of my "keeping the focus on students" philosophy of education.
Thank you to those who encouraged me to run; my family, friends, and the parents and grandparents who supported me; the dozens of women and men who worked at the polls on my behalf; the people across the district who allowed me to place signs on their lawns; and to those who wrote letters to the editor supporting my candidacy.
These people know that York Suburban's reputation for educational excellence not only benefits the students, but also makes the district a desirable place for families to live and also sustains property values.
I sincerely appreciate your trust in me. I look forward to returning to the school board and the continuation of my advocacy for our most valuable "community asset" -- our children.
I look forward to seeing you at the polls in November.

Hawaiian Airlines continued its dominance among U.S. carriers and led the nation in on-time performance in 2013 for the 10th year in a row.
The state's largest airline had an average 93.3 percent of its flights arrive within 15 minutes of their scheduled time, according to data released Monday by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Hawaiian topped the rankings in 11 of the 12 months and exceeded the industry average for the year by 15 percentage points.
For December, Hawaiian was first in on-time performance at 92.4 percent.
"For a decade, Hawaiian Airlines has led the industry in operating flights on time," Hawaiian President and CEO Mark Dunkerley said. "It is the element of performance that customers rate as the most important. The credit belongs to our employees who show dedication and passion for what they do."
In other December categories, Hawaiian ranked first for fewest cancellations at 0.2 percent, or 11 out of 6,032 total flights; second for fewest mishandled baggage reports with 2.26 per 1,000 passengers; and sixth for fewest consumer complaints at 0.61 per 100,000 passengers.
And in the quarterly oversales category, Hawaii had the third fewest number of passengers involuntarily denied boardings in the fourth quarter at 0.18 per 10,000 passengers.

People at the Shore are quickly realizing who their real friends are in Washington, and they certainly are not any of the Republican leaders like John Boehner and Eric Cantor.
Did the writer of the Jan. 7 letter, "Officials should keep Sandy aid promises," not read in the Asbury Park Press of Gov. Christie's honest account for the reasons the Jersey Shore was denied the funds necessary to help the victims of superstorm Sandy?
Our governor stated that the Republicans in Congress, led by Boehner, were solely to blame "for the merciless and unjustified delay of the badly needed disaster relief funds for our friends and neighbors at the Jersey Shore."
Plus, our governor stated that New Jersey sends a lot more money to Washington than what we receive back in aid. The writer also correctly states that Katrina victims received aid quickly. I feel that's because it was the heavily Republican South, not the Northeast.
Would Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in Congress ever do this to the Jersey Shore or any other region in America that was hit by a natural disaster?
Beware of the next battle in which these same radical Republicans will be looking to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other social benefits that help needy Americans.

Jeffrey Siker | Scriptural Politics of Family and Homosexuality: Textual Orientations
Both presidential candidates have staked out clear positions on family and same-sex marriage. President Obama favors same-sex marriage as part of promoting family values, while Governor Romney opposes same-sex marriage and views it as detrimental to family values. Scripture figures significantly, if at times indirectly, in both approaches to this divisive issue. In this lecture we will explore various biblical "textual orientations" in relation to this aspect of the current presidential debates and public policy discussions.
Dr. Jeff Siker grew up in Pittsburgh, PA. He received his B.A. (Music & Religious Studies) and M.A. (Religious Studies) from Indiana University (Bloomington). He then received his Masters of Divinity degree from Yale University Divinity School, after which he was ordained to ministry in the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA). He served as a pastor to churches in Michigan, after which he went to Princeton Theological Seminary, where he earned his Ph.D. in New Testament Studies, again serving in churches during his time there. In 1987 he came to Loyola Marymount University, where he continues to teach and write in the areas of Christian origins, Jewish/Christian relations, Scripture and ethics, Scripture and politics, and the history of biblical interpretation. Prof. Siker has written over thirty articles and several books, including Disinheriting the Jews: Abraham in Early Christian Controversy (Westminster/John Knox Press, 1991), Scripture & Ethics: 20th Century Portraits (Oxford, 1996), and two edited books on homosexuality: Homosexuality in the Church: Both Sides of the Debate (Westminster/John Knox Press, 1994) and Religion & Homosexuality: An Encyclopedia (Greenwood Press, 2007). Dr. Siker was the organizing chair of the Early Jewish/Christian Relations Section within the Society of Biblical Literature, has been the recipient of and juror for grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Catholic Biblical Association, chaired LMU's Department of Theological Studies from 2002-2010, has been a Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute for Advanced Studies in Jerusalem (2009-2011), and remains active teaching in various churches. His most recent article is "President Obama, the Bible, and Political Rhetoric," forthcoming in the journal Political Theology. Prof. Siker is married (to Judy Siker) and together they have five grown children.

Heisman Favorites a Menagerie of Pro Prospects
In fact, some scouts believe Newton, Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck , Oregon running back LaMichael James and Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore – all underclassmen – all have a chance at NFL success, reversing a recent trend of Heisman candidates whose games simply didn't translate to the pros.
Newton, who led the country with 49 touchdowns and has carried Auburn to its first BCS Championship Game, is the most polarizing NFL prospect of the group.
There is no denying Newton possesses first-round tools. In joining 2008 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow as the only players in FCS history to have scored 20 touchdowns passing and rushing in the same season, Newton has dazzled scouts with his athleticism and strong arm.
Scouts remain split, however, on how well the junior will be able to make the transition from Gus Malzahn's spread option offense to a pro-style scheme. After all, his success has come in an offense that emphasizes his athletic strengths and simplifies his reads. For as dominant as he's played, Newton has only this season's 13 starts at the FCS level, quite a small sample set for scouts to determine his pro readiness.
These concerns don't extend to the redshirt sophomore Luck, whose recognition of defenses and pinpoint accuracy have made him the favorite to be the first pick of the 2011 draft should he declare early. The Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year broke John Elway's Cardinal record with 28 touchdown passes this season.
Newton and Luck will hear their names called in the first round should they leave for the pros following this season.
James is also highly regarded by pro scouts, though at 5-feet-9 and 185 pounds, he lacks the bulk to hold up as a full-time starter in the NFL. James' production for the Ducks has been staggering. He broke the Pac-10 freshman rushing record last year with 1,546 yards and promptly broke the sophomore record this season with 1,682 yards, which led the FCS. While James offers dynamic playmaking skills due to his agility and speed, teams will have a hard time justifying a pick earlier than the third round on a situational back.
At first glance, Moore lacks the size to be considered an elite pro prospect. The Broncos list their record-breaking passer at 6-feet, 191 pounds. Perhaps not surprisingly, scouts question if Moore has the arm strength to compete in the NFL, as well.
Moore has shown remarkable accuracy throughout his career, however, and is a virtual coach on the field. He reads defenses quickly and shows great anticipation, completing 71 percent of his passes for 3,506 yards and an eye-popping 33 touchdowns against only five interceptions this season.
Moore doesn't possess the measureables to warrant high-round consideration, so he may be the most likely of this group to return in 2011.
Should he do so - and enjoy similar success with senior receivers Titus Young and Austin Pettis moving on to the NFL - Moore could force scouts to look past his physical shortcomings and instead focus on his moxie and ball placement; traits that could earn him at least a late round selection.

Toosmart you are blinkered by size and strength. Yes LaMichael James is not big, but do you need height to play RB? I don't recall Barry Sanders being particularly tall. Or Emmitt Smith. In fact weren't they 5'8" and 5'9" respectively. And Walter Peyton was a massive 5'10". LaDainian Tomlinson is 5'10" too, the current active leading rusher.
I know what you are going to say - they were all over 200lbs. True, but Chris Johnson is a huge 5'11" and 191lbs, and he led the league last year with over 2000 yards, currently on 1137 for this year on a poor titans team, the same yardage as Jamaal Charles who is 5'11" 199lbs. Maurice Jones-Drew is 5'7", Bradshaw is 5'9" 198lbs, Mendenhall is 5'10".
What is the point in trying to say he won't succeed when others who are "small" have been, and continue to be, hugely successful in the league. Granted, he wouldn't necessarily be an All-Pro, but he could be immensely effective.
Moore's lack of size is perhaps more of a concern. These were the same criticisms aimed at Drew Brees and, more recently, Coly McCoy. Whilst it is too early to judge McCoy, Brees has had a pretty good career for a 6' QB. Again I think it would be blinkered to write-off a QB completely when they are undersized. If he stays in College and puts up similar or better numbers in 2011, he could be a late round steal for someone.
In summary, for someone "too smart" you are blinded by numbers and forget that someone who can play will always be a player regardless of size. His accuracy numbers and winning record are excellent and to some that is vastly more important than being able to throw like JaMarcus Russell. It is to me.

BAck it down a whole bunch, all you have to do is look at the past winners and you will find the Heisman is nothing more than a glorified paper weight when it comes to a players ability to transition tio the next level? Would you say Carson Palmer would be a better pick than Tom Brady? The list is long with past winners who had little or no success in the NFL. As for those who talk negatively about the abilities of Kellen Moore I ask where did Jerry Rice attend college or didnt Randy Moss go to MArshall? All around athlete Cam Newton wins but the position of QB he is not in the top 5 in this catagory. Here is a list of past Heisman winners how many of these guys went on to have successful careers in the NFL? * 2,229 1971 Sullivan, Pat 1,597 1972 Rodgers, Johnny 1,310 1973 Cappelletti, John 1,057 1974 Griffin, Archie 1,920 1975 Griffin, Archie 1,800 1976 Dorsett, Tony ^ 2,357 1977 Campbell, Earl *^ 1,547 1978 Sims, Billy * 827 1979 White, Charles 1,695 1980 Rogers, George * 1,128 1981 Allen, Marcus ^ 1,797 1982 Walker, Herschel 1,926 1983 Rozier, Mike 1,801 1984 Flutie, Doug 2,240 1985 Jackson, Bo * 1,509 1986 Testaverde, Vinny * 2,213 1987 Brown, Tim 1,442 1988 Sanders, Barry ^ 1,878 1989 Ware, Andre 1,073 1990 Detmer, Ty 1,482 1991 Howard, Desmond 2,077 1992 Torretta, Gino 1,400 1993 Ward, Charlie 1,743 1994 Salaam, Rashaan 1,743 1995 George, Eddie 1,460 1996 Wuerffel, Danny 1,363 1997 Woodson, Charles / / 1,815 1998 Williams, Ricky 2,355 1999 Dayne, Ron 2,042 2000 Weinke, Chris 1,628 2001 Crouch, Eric 770 2002 Palmer, Carson * 1,328 2003 White, Jason 1,481 2004 Leinart, Matt 1,325 2005 Bush, Reggie (vacated)    2,541 2006 Smith, Troy 2,540 2007 Tebow, Tim 1,957 2008 Bradford, Sam * 1,726 2009 Ingram, Jr., Mark 1,304 2010 Newton, Cameron 2,263

Lord, where do I begin Rob, where do I begin? I'll start from the top and work my way down, I guess that's usually how it works huh?You start out by showing Cam Newton love and stating the obvious, that he has "first-round tools". Then you attempt to justify the tools with a Tim Tebow reference, like scoring 20 touchdowns rushing and passing translates into "first-round tools". Tim Tebow doesn't possess "first-round tools", and may not even possess second. Denver hurt themselves this year by wasting a first-round selection on a B-SPN fairytale. Tebow owes his success to Meyer's system and the talent around him; Cam's impact has allowed some of the player's around him to reach production levels they never dreamed of. For example, they have a true freshman on the verge of 1,000 yards and McCaleb averages nearly 9 yards per carry. It's not just a coincidence that a teammate of Cam leads the nation in yards per attempt, for most of which he's untouched. Auburn would have a losing record without Cam at quarterback, and yet they now find themselves in unfamiliar territory located in Glendale, Arizona. He is a once in a generation football talent, physically as well as mentally. "First-round tools", is an understatement, especially when there's never been another player, period, to base his so called first-round toolset off of.
You continue on to say that scouts are "split" on whether Cam can be effective in a pro-style offense, because Malzahn's spread offense "emphasizes his athletic strengths and simplifies his reads". Well, in this case, I'd like to be the first to welcome you to the game of American Football Rob! Any offensive coordinator with a job uses this same strategy when running their offenses, from high school all the way to the NFL. I mean, you're not going to build an offense around a quarterback's weaknesses or make the reads more difficult for them are you? Malzahn has benefitted much more from Cam Newton, than Newton has from Malzahn. Cam would make a lot of offensive coordinators look really good, in any scheme.
Being a successful quarterback is about finding ways to convert on third down, scoring in the red-zone, and performance in the 4th quarter. Look up Cam's stats in those departments when you get a chance... Exactly what scouts are you talking to? Have you been reading Mel Kiper's blog again? Shame on you Rob! Kellen Moore and LaMichael James project well into the League? really? Let's be serious. 5'9"(generous) 185 pounds is sufficient for the pattie-cake they play in the Pac-10, but not the NFL. You need size to be a running back in the league. James is nothing special, running backs are a dime a dozen, look at player's like Adrian Foster. I Bet Adrian would've put up big numbers in Oregon's cute little offense too, whereas he seemed average at UT. Boise State is a joke, they shouldn't even be in the top 25. Kellen Moore is lucky he got to visit New York. He seldomly gets pressured and throws to basically uncovered wide receivers. ESPN created the whole "Boise State can Compete with anybody" story to spice up an otherwise ordinary college football season, where the BCS system actually got the picks right.
CBS needs to give me your job. Forward this to your supervisor as my cover letter, ill get my resume in the first of next week.

How exactly did Newton skate in on his conference affiliations? He played against better quality opponents. In fact, wasn't there two competitors from the Pac10 and only one from the SEC in there? Moore is an Excellent QB of that there is no doubt, but he played only two ranked teams in the past two years. So exactly how is Moore better than Newton? I have a better idea, why don't you just keep your mouth closed as you are sucking up all the air for people who actually have something educated to say.

Speaking as a Stanford/Luck fan, I'm not bitter about Cam winning the heisman, he deserved it regardless of whether he should or shouldn't be eligible---getting money wouldn't make him play better. That said, I would be very bitter that Auburn is in the title game if indeed "the money was too much", buying players would give an unfair advantage to the program. Morally speaking, I don't blame poor young college students for seeking money---but college programs selling their souls and giving out money is what's terrible.

Scam Newton will bring down the entire Auburn program ala the SMU death penalty. Rumor has it that Victoryland dog track in Alabama was rigging machines for parents of recruits to win and that is how they got paid. Victoryland was supposedly already bugged by the feds and Cecil Newton called a the wrong time. We will see how that pans out but Auburn is toast.

Loneliness as a doorway to connection – guided meditation
March 15, 2013
Loneliness can be a doorway to connection. Contained within the feelings of loneliness is our capacity for connection. Our podcast meditation – Guided Meditation for Loneliness – encourages you to go deep into the feelings of loneliness to connect with yourself and ultimately with others.
So often we resist emotions that we feel are threatening or unpleasant. Most of us don't want to feel pain, but resisting our feelings alienates us from ourselves. This is especially true with loneliness. When we are lonely, we may feel deeply sad or have a strong sense of yearning. We might feel anxious, especially if we feel that there is something wrong with us for feeling they way we do. And yet going into the very heart of loneliness, experiencing it all the way, allows us to feel the most important connection of all — the connection to ourselves.
Remember — loneliness is a normal human feeling. It's a result of your natural capacity and desire for connection. I would love to hear about your experiences with this meditation.
Pregnancy Meditation — Connecting with your Baby
April 25, 2012
Deepening your connection to your baby during pregnancy is not only fulfilling in itself, but has benefits for both mother and baby. This new podcast meditation helps you to relax deeply, tune into your body and connect with the baby in your womb.
When deeply relaxed, everything flows more easily in your body, circulating blood with its nutrients and oxygen to nourish both you and your child. Your breathing becomes deeper and more regular. The physical benefits of this for both you and your baby are obvious. Mentally your mind becomes more settled and open and you are able to focus on your baby. Emotionally, you are more available to bond with your child and tune into your child's presence and energy. Being more tuned in will automatically guide you in your eating and lifestyle choices.
As you continue to use the meditation, your connection will deepen. You may also want to share the meditation with the baby's father. When the guidance is to become aware of the baby "inside you", he can also connect with the baby inside you. Listening together will enhance your connection with each other, harmonize your intentions, and help you bond with each other as you bond with your baby.
This meditation was born of many requests by pregnant women over the years. Most of them have had their babies by now, but they did help birth this meditation. I would love to hear about your experiences with the meditation!
Grief and an open heart
May 9, 2010
Some of us react to loss by "shutting down". We don't feel we can bear the pain of grief, or we don't want to risk loving and losing someone again. Rachel, whose comment is quoted below, feels her heart has been "shut for business" since she broke up with her ex four years ago. When she experienced an emotional release in the Opening the Heart meditation, however, she felt hope that she'll eventually be able to move on and find someone new.
"I felt a significant release with tears when trying this meditation. I split with an ex over four years ago… I haven't been able to move on at all romantically as I haven't been able to let go of this past relationship. My heart shut for business to anyone else. I'm really hoping this meditation will eventually help me move on and find love again."
Rachel has every reason to be hopeful now that she's been able to start grieving the loss of her ex. If we can grieve a loss fully, feeling the pain all the way through, it leaves us with an open heart that can make new connections. It's said that the only way through grief is straight into the heart of it. You have to fall into it completely. An open heart is one that can grieve. We can't really feel love and joy if our hearts are closed to feeling pain. Grief is a natural process that allows us to let go of one relationship and let in another.
Life is full of losses, large and small. Large losses, like losing a loved one, a job, moving, or falling ill, cause us to grieve. But so do smaller losses, losses that we might not even recognize as something to grieve. This really struck me yesterday as I was inhaling the wonderful fragrance of the jasmine flowers gracing my patio. Spring is my favorite season, and the return of the jasmine nourishes my being and brings me joy. But yesterday I noticed that almost all of the buds had already bloomed, and most of the lovely little flowers were on the decline. Lots of spent blossoms were at my feet. I felt as if I wanted to hold on to the jasmine forever, to never let it go. At some point I noticed a tight feeling in my heart. I felt that holding on feeling so clearly and sensed it as a tightening up against life. I felt I needed to let go and when I did, I felt grief. It was a surrender to the inevitability of loss that is part of the fabric of life. In that surrender I felt my heart relax and open. Though I felt sad, in that moment I felt fully alive. I was open to whatever might come next.
My sense is that we can't let go and be truly open without feeling the pain of loss. What has your experience with this been?

we were one of the first nationally televised games in the beginning of the season when we played the jazz. we have had a couple already in fact. one against the suns for obvious reasons and one against the mavs as well. im sure they do it for excitement, matchups, and rivalries. for example, on xmas it was the blazers vs the sonics cuz it was supposed to be oden vs durant and miami vs cleveland for the wade vs lebron matchup. there was a day it was portland vs miami for a oden vs shaq matchup. they have playoff rivalries playing also. so in a word...yes. the televised games are usually scheduled that way..however there are some that are just there cuz every team has to have at least 2 games nationally televised.
i dont know exactly how many have already passed, but i know we're supposed to have about eleven throughout this season.

It has to do with how many people are projected to watch the games.

my so called life
I don't really have anything constructive to say about the series except that I really wish I watched it in 1994/5 because I would have really identified with Angela. Not to mention, it's fun to remember all my hideous plaid shirts and floral dresses, mom jeans and seventeen magazines with Jared Leto and Claire Danes on the cover. It's strange- it feels like I'm looking back at a different person. But, seeing her hair makes me REALLY want to be a red-head again! Might have to make it happen in Paris after all.
So, spill your dirty fashion secrets! What was your 90s style?

i think you would really like it. i have never met anyone who doesn't (well, except for my husband, but he was never an angsty teenage girl, so that makes sense.)
i wore wide leg jeans and tank tops with oversized flannels over them. vans & airwalks. striped tee shirts, over plucked brows and i believe some chokers. egads.

Oh man... I was in Elementary school and absolutely terrified of fashion (mostly because all the mean girls played that game and I didn't want to have anything to do with them) - consequently I wore nothing but wide-legged jeans, t-shirts from various soccer/horse things or athletic labels, and these hideous red pleather boots when I wasn't in sneakers or cowboy boots.
Not that I was totally immune - there were chokers in there somewhere! eep. Plus I think I branched out once and got a back-to-school outfit involving pale green corderouy overalls and a long-sleeve floral tee from Gap... oh dear.

I think at it's worst, there were denim overalls and clogs from Bootlegger involved - of course a velvet choker with a peace sign hanging off it! I watched MSCL when it aired originally, and I was always a little annoyed at how whiny she was. I loved Ricky, though. How ahead of his time, when you consider all the buzz about Glee having gay characters.

Enormous white men's shirt untucked, black jersey baggy shorts, black capri leggings and docs. I would throw a vintage black watch plaid men's tuxedo jacket over it for "going out".

leilani.e- this was earlier (elementary school), but I actually had multiple colours/washes of short-alls. overall-shorts. why were those invented?

I never saw the show in it's day, but I got caught up with it last year, too bust waking up at 6 am to watch Fashion File with Tim Blanks, then Batman, Spiderman, and XMen and then in the evenings watching Bond, Hitchcock, and Grant as a child. I lived in my own head. I never dressed "cool" in my day, I had a dad that was no joke growing up.

Sorry for the double comment, now that I'm thinking I wore a lot of Jordache, Guess, Espirit, Limitied Too, Osh Kosh, and I had a lot of overalls (in cords too). To this day, I will not wear cords, it reminds me too much of those days.
I definitely vote for you to go red again!!

i love my so called life. i started watching it last year, i think i was too young and uninterested when it aired back in the 90's. but when i watched that show, i realized how the 90's was sort of a long time ago. the 90's fashion is coming back. some of my memories are tribal prints, i had a green tribal jumpsuit that i loved, denim overall dresses, flannels, doc martens.

Haha, 90's fashion? Hm...velvet chokers, grungy op-shop finds, wide-legged jeans (worn with steel-cap boots and cropped tee, yes, I was once a tomboy)...oh, the shame!

Oversized jeans, plaids, over sized tshirts, thrifted leather jackets, chokers, oversized sweaters, floor length skirts! OMG, when I think about it - I actually had my hair cut like Angela too! lol
To this day I have trauma about chunky sweaters and long skirts :)

I was a freshman in college when this came out, and I was addicted. I wore Doc Martens with flannel shirts and wide leg jeans. Oh, and babydoll dresses. And I am pretty sure there was a bubblewand necklace involved too.

Housewives coming back into the work force, actors, pharmaceutical sales, radio and other media, and even people with insurance experience have all had huge success with ACSIA and Long Term Care insurance sales.
This has traditionally been a recession proof business. Generally, ACSIA agents work 46 weeks a year, control their own schedule and work from a home office. This provides the freedom many people crave with a six figure income! Plus, what other product can you sell where you continue to earn money from the sales from the previous year? The renewal income stream provides economic freedom for you and your family!
In any sales opportunity you have to have a number of things in order to be successful.
First, you have to have something to sell, at ACSIA we have all the top policies from all the top insurance companies. This way a prospect doesn't ever need to speak with anyone else, just you, the ACSIA Long Term Care Specialist!
Second, you have to have someone to sell to. This is where the experience of the ACSIA marketing team invests with you with our free lead program providing you with free, quality, qualified leads.

- $2,200 Avg. application
- $67% place rate
Equals to:

- $7,665 Placed premium
- $2,299 Commission
Example is based on our LOWEST commission schedule (for trainees). This equates to a first year income of $105,754 based on a 46 week work schedule. Will you do this? Everyone's learning curve varies. However, this is very attainable and many ACSIA agents make six figures to reward their hard work and effort. One thing is certain, YOU control how successful you are based on your hard work & effort and your ability to execute our plan. ACSIA invests in YOU, your investment is your time and effort to make your dreams come true.

Faster, cheaper internet for SA's neighboursComment on this story
Windhoek - Namibia and Botswana on Tuesday inaugurated their links to a 14,000 kilometre underground cable system that provides both with faster and cheaper Internet connectivity.
The $750 million fibre optic submarine West African Cable System (WACS), which went live in Namibia last month, delivers a speed of 5.12 terabits per second and stretches down the west coast of Africa.
Telecom Namibia will operate and manage the landing station, one of 15 points of the cable which runs between Britain and South Africa.
"Information and communication technology is an important factor for Namibia and will open doors for socio-economic development," President Hifikepunye Pohamba said at the ceremony in Swakopmund.
"The West African Cable System is a significant achievement."
Land-locked neighbour Botswana shared the $75 million local costs of the cable with Namibia, with the landing point in Namibia's coastal Swakopmund some 370 kilometres west of the capital.
"The WACS will be a great benefit for Botswana and also brings both our countries closer," said Botswana President Ian Khama who was on a three-day state visit to Namibia. - Sapa-AFP

Hunger in North Korea: A Relief Aide's Stark Report
By BARBARA CROSSETTE
Published: June 11, 1997
UNITED NATIONS, June 10— An American relief expert who has just returned from a weeklong visit to North Korea said today that he had seen kindergarten classes where malnourished children were too weak to stand, and that he had driven along provincial city streets devoid of old people.
The elderly, he was told by a senior North Korean official, had stopped eating to keep their grandchildren alive.
The relief official, Andrew S. Natsios, a former director of foreign disaster assistance for the United States Government and now vice president of World Vision, a private agency, said he had seen hundreds of people with big plastic bags combing scrubland for weeds, wild roots and leaves to eat. Some of what they picked would only make them sick and further weaken them.
Relief agencies say they cannot estimate the number of casualties from food shortages in North Korea.
''There are reports of large numbers of people too weak to plant the rice crop, which is being planted now,'' Mr. Natsios said in an interview from Tacoma, Wash., where he returned on Sunday from North Korea. His trip took him across the North Korean countryside to three cities, including Pyongyang, the capital of the isolated Communist country of 23 million people.
North Korean leaders have been reluctant to acknowledge a widespread famine beyond the crop shortfall caused by flooding in 1995 and 1996. Donor governments and independent relief agencies are coming to the conclusion that North Korean agricultural policies have done more damage than the floods, which Mr. Natsios said account for only about 15 percent of food deficits. He said that in some areas where the World Vision team was told that floods were to blame he saw no evidence of water damage.
''They are calling the army out to plant the rice, which I found instructive,'' he said. ''Why would they call the army to plant the rice crop -- they've never done that before -- if things are going well?''
But on this trip, Mr. Natsios, whose agency has collected $4.5 million in food and medicine for North Korea, said that officials who approved his visit were more willing to admit they needed international help. One official told him, ''We are in trouble.'' He added that outside experts had only begun to assess the depth of North Korea's food shortages and incidence of malnutrition, and then only in pieces, since foreigners have not been allowed to visit half the country.
As a Government relief coordinator in the early 1990's, Mr. Natsios played a major role in drawing the attention of the United States and the world to starvation in Somalia. His agency is part of an independent network of 13 groups, the Committee to Stop Famine in North Korea, that is urging Washington and private citizens to increase donations to the North Koreans.
The committee, which began a modest television advertising campaign in May, says that the United States, South Korea and Japan, motivated by politics, have not responded adequately to the North Korean crisis, in part because the public does not see pictures of suffering from this secretive dictatorship.
''In 1984, the American people saw pictures of Ethiopia and came to its aid,'' one of the television spots says, as the screen goes blank. ''There are no pictures of North Korea.''
Clinton Administration officials say they are not holding North Koreans hostage to progress in talks aimed at lowering tensions generally on the Korean Peninsula. On Monday, the State Department spokesman, Nicholas Burns, said that $25 million in American food aid was arriving in North Korea about now and that ''food aid will go on'' whether or not the North joins talks.
Bill Richardson, the United States representative at the United Nations, said in a recent interview that ''the reality is we know little about the degree of the problem, although it is very severe.''
''The big concern that we have is whether some of the food assistance that we are giving is reaching the average person,'' Mr. Richardson said. ''We know the military may be provided with the bulk of the food aid. But our policy is to deal with the food issue on a humanitarian basis.''
Park Soo Gil, South Korea's United Nations representative, said the North Korean military could release some of its food supplies, or spend some of the disproportionate military budget on public welfare. Providing food only saves the military money for other purposes, he said.
Mr. Natsios, who said he had been told that the military had already opened its food warehouses to meet some famine needs, drew a parallel to the situation in China in the late 1950's when famines created by Mao Zedong's agricultural policies may have killed 30 million people and undermined the loyalty of soldiers who saw their families starving. Mr. Natsios said North Korea would have to worry about disaffection in the military if starvation began to take a major toll.
The World Vision team that just returned from North Korea visited an orphanage in Pyongyang and found that half the children there were seriously malnourished, Mr. Natsios said.

Hi, hopefully this is a better mono conversion than my last attempts (sorry if anyone voted or did mods, I couldn't bear to look at them as I had ruined perfectly good photos with my post processing)
Anyway, a good friend has just had a baby and asked if I would take some shots. They specifically want Black & White so would really appreciate and comments on the finished shot. Her hands were cold so looked a different colour to the rest of her!
Many thanks for looking. Cheers, Raife

Quote: This is beautiful, the baby looks very peaceful and very new.
I think the shot would look even better with a small rotation anti-clockwise so that the baby's head is not lower than her feet.
Thank you for the suggestion. It's funny how you can get so fixed on one aspect or another of a shot and miss something that someone else sees immediately. I love this site. Cheers
Nominating Constructive Critique
Its a nicely exposed shot, and a good b&w conversion.
Sometimes when you have such a dark background, the subject can appear to be floating, - which can seem odd to some people.
I agree with the feet/head, - and I would also crop it so the baby is more aligned in a third.
To try to make it look less like the baby is floating, Ive added a slight reflection in my od.
Nominating Constructive Critique
A lovely image Raife and I agree with the above suggestions. Not sure what you could do with the appearance of floating though, possibly leave a hint of the background in the shot?
