Slapstick, or, Lonesome no more! : a novel (original 1976; edition 1976)

Work details
Slapstick: Or Lonesome No More! by Kurt Vonnegut (1976)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book was my introduction to Vonnegut, and I LOVED it. I read it for the first time years and years ago, and it has remained my all time favorite book. Yip. This one. #1 on my Desert Island list. I never really understood all the praise SH5 got, I like it enough, but it was no where near as entertaining as this book. It's absurd and grotesque and makes perfect sense. If you haven't read it, you should.
Not as funny as SH5 but still vintage KV
One of the more surreal ones but an amusing piece of dystopian fiction.
Somehow, I'd never read this 36 year old Vonnegut novel. Good stuff. Not outstanding stuff, but good stuff.
Dr. Wilbur Daffodil-11 Swain, the King of Manhattan. One of my 5 favorite KV's.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0385334230, Paperback)Dr. Wilbur Daffodil-11 Swain, centenarian, the last President of the United States, King of Manhattan, and one-half (along with his sister, Eliza) of the most powerful intelligence since Einstein, is penning his autobiography. He occupies the first floor of a ruined Empire State Building and lives like a royal scavenger with his illiterate granddaughter and her beau. Buffeted by fluctuating gravity, the U.S. has been scourged by not one, but two lethal diseases: the Green Death and the Albanian Flu. Consequently, the country has fallen into civil war. (Super-intelligent, miniaturized Chinese watch the West self-destruct from the sidelines.) Swain stayed at the White House until there were no citizens left to govern, then moved to deserted New York City, where he writes a thoughtful missive before death.
In Slapstick, Vonnegut muses on war, man's hubris, and the awful, crippling loneliness humans are freighted with--but, miraculously, the book still manages to delight and amuse. Absurd, knowing, never depressing, Slapstick kindles hope--for the possibility of wisdom, perhaps; for human resiliency, surely.
It's best to end with a quote from the prologue wherein the author discourses on The Meaning of It All, or at least This Book: "Love is where you find it. I think it is foolish to go off looking for it, and I think it can often be poisonous.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:20:45 -0400)
This hilarious, wickedly irreverent farce presents an apocalyptic vision seen through the eyes of the current King of Manhattan (and last President of the United States).

"Wander a whole summer if you can. Time will not be taken from the sum of life. Instead of shortening, it will definitely lengthen it and make you truly immortal." —John Muir
Anyone with a healthy amount of time that is looking for a new trail to backpack might want to watch the video above. It's the trailer to an unfinished documentary called Mile ... Mile and a Half, about a group that backpacks the roughly 215-mile John Muir Trail over the course of a month.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has said he expects to be on the touchline for the Premier League match against Aston Villa at White Hart Lane on Monday.
The 64-year-old Redknapp, tipped as a future England manager, missed the recent league match against and the UEFA Europa League game with Rubin Kazan after undergoing heart surgery.
However, he told Sky Sports News on Sunday he would take over from assistants Joe Jordan and Kevin Bond against Villa. "I feel fine, I've got more energy than I had before. I'll be on the bench for sure. Sometimes you don't realise there's something wrong. I feel better than I did three weeks ago."
The former Bournemouth, Portsmouth and West Ham manager said he felt worse watching Tottenham's 3-1 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage from his home than if he had been at the ground. "I felt rough after the game. It actually knocked me for six. I'd rather be watching it from the bench than on TV."

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
The most upbeat and fun photographer! Everyone felt comfortable with the camera really fast due to his well rounded personality!
Chris was amazing throughout the whole process and we're so glad we picked him for our wedding! It rained something like 2 inches in an hour the day of our wedding and he still got GREAT shots. He remembered or figured out all the things I forgot to tell him about and I never felt like I had to worry about anything at all. He made our day sooo much easier, and we have amazing photos too!
Chris was a fantastic addition to our special day. He was very laid back and flexible as we made plans, even meeting with us in person while his family was in town for a visit. He had a great attitude and was willing to work with us to get exactly what we wanted vs. a "canned" package. On the day itself Chris was fast, flexible, and funny. Most importantly we didn't even know he was there - other photographers seemed to be more interested in showcasing themselves at the event, but Chris was everywhere without being in the way or really even being seen. He got great shots of every important moment and helped everyone relax with his naturally calm and funny personality. We were very pleased with Chris' work, and we look forward to working with him again in the future.
We highly reccommend Riley Photographic to anyone looking for a fun, professional vendor! They made our wedding process and day go so smoothly, and as a bride that is exactly what I was looking for. I look forward to working with them in the future for other events!
Chris and Chris were great throughout the whole day. They were with us from start to finish and I can't wait to see the finished product. We were very happy with everything and knew after we received our engagement shots that our wedding shots would be fantastic. Chris R was able to come with me to the salon and then to my parents house to take some shots getting ready while Chris L went with my husband and his groomsmen. They really had some neat ideas for photos. I loved that they both were so laid back - yet professional, which was definitely what I was looking for in a photographer. Thanks so much for making my day so special and capturing every moment!
Awesome pictures and Tim was amazing to work with!
My husband and I really enjoyed working with Chris Riley. He was very friendly and professional. He captured our day perfectly and we can't thank him enough. His pictures are beautiful and I would recommend him to anyone. Everyone that has seen his picture has been very impressed. Thanks again Chris you went above and beyond what we expected!
We were lucky enough to have Chris Riley as our photographer. Our group is a fun-loving (sometimes inappropriate) type of crowd and Chris fit right in like he had always known us. I can't say enough that would do him justice. He made the hour of requisite photo-taking fun and it flew right by. He honored our schedule to the minute, and made everything go smoothly. And most importantly, the photos (which we received in a timely manner) are absolutely stunning! Friend and family are still raving about them! I would positively, without a doubt, recommend Riley Photographic.
I kind of lucked into finding Riley Photographic. We went to look at the venue that I already had my heart set on and while we were flipping through some of the promotional albums my (now) husband kept commenting on one particular one. Since he wasn't interested in too many of the details, I took notice of his interest and decided to track this photographer down. Lucky for me, I realized shortly after meeting Chris that my husband had picked out the perfect photographer.
We had an amazing time working with Chris for our wedding. Starting with the engagement photo shoot and ending with pictures out on the dance floor, he knew exactly what we were looking and captured it all. He has a unique point of view, but knows how to balance photojournalism with traditional wedding photography so that we ended up with a well-rounded collection of photos of our wedding day. My husband and I really enjoyed working with Chris and he was very easy to get along with. He was at ease with all of the strong personalities in our families and made the photos a lot less stressful. Friends and family all raved about how nice he was to work with, and my sister (who isn't engaged) is already hoping to book him for her wedding.
My husband and I aren't exactly naturals in front of the camera, but Chris made it all come together so beautifully. We cannot believe how wonderful all of the pictures look!
Not only was Chris an amazing photographer, but he also went above and beyond the call of duty. He was on top of all the things that needed to be done for the day, from making sure to get the flowers up to the room to making sure that the guys were on schedule to opening the champagne for us in the limo. My husband and I joked that he was like a wedding "multi-tool".
Hiring Riley Photographic is by far one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning.
I've know Chris Riley for over 20 years and through the years he has always shown an extreme amount of professionalism and commitment in everything he has done. When I proposed to my fiancée I knew that my next call would be to Riley. It was awesome to have a close buddy to count on but also fantastic to watch him in action as photography truly is his Passion. He arrived at our Rehearsal and met my fiancée and the families and immediately jumped in to help us fine tune the wedding ceremony to allow him to capture the best shots. His interest in people, creativity, attention to detail, and experience made both my wife and I confident that he was going to capture our day. I hired him knowing that we could count on him 100% and he not only proved that to us but our families and all our wedding guests.
Shortly after the wedding he surprised us with an amazing montage of video and stills to 'Our" song - It's priceless! All our family and friends have easily viewed our pictures on his website and just cannot believe how awesome they are! Thank you My Friend – you are the BEST!
I did a lot of research on photographers when choosing Riley Photographic, but honestly I think I just got lucky in the end. Riley Photographic was in the middle of the price range of photographers I found in the area, but I think every penny was worth it. We had Chris Riley for our photographer and we really felt comfortable with him. Chris knew exactly how to "direct" us so that the poses looked natural and we looked like ourselves. Chris was very laid back and quick to adapt to different situations. All of our family and friends commented on how friendly Chris was throughout the reception. He also photographed our traditional Korean ceremony which we performed the night before the wedding. We will truly treasure the images that Chris captured for years to come.
This is exactly what you are looking for in a photographer.
WOW WOW WOW! If you are looking for a photographer STOP here! Because you have found them. Riley Photographic is the top of the line. We worked with Chris and he is amazing. My husband does not like taking a pictures, which can be a problem when posing for professional lasting wedding photos. Chris made this so easy for us. He was efficient and super helpful in getting the shots we wanted to remember the day. He is so talented and has quite the eye in capturing the mood and feeling in a room full of family and friends. Upon seeing a few sneak peeks, EVERYONE in our wedding party, our family and basically everyone at the wedding was in tears...yet again! Our wedding was filled with 142 extremely close friends and family, each one was utterly speechless when seeing his talent. Everytime I look at the photos, I am immediately right in the moment of our wedding, which is the point right?!! Thank you again so much for sharing your talent with us and capturing our very special wedding day! Much thanks and even more reccommendations to all brides and anyone else in need of an amazing photographer! You Rock!
-Angela, Chris and the entire 4/16/11 wedding party
It was the gorgeous pictures on their website that drew me to them. The second thing was, I was able to start chatting with Chris right there on the site through Instant Message, VERY convenient!
Once we met with Chris from Riley Photographic, it was NO contest to who we were gonna pick. Chris has an ability to be in tune with the chemistry of the couple and works with it. He understood my husband and I after our first meeting together, made a strong connection with us and he made magic happen with that.
We met photographers that were just a joke, and other that were far too pricy. With Riley Photographic you get the same quality as the "expensive" photographers, actually better in my opinion.
in addition to the great pricing, gorgeous work, you get creativity that made for unbelievable shots in my wedding album, and we got an AMAZING personality to work with. My entire wedding party AND family, each individually came up to me over the past few months after my wedding and commented on how good we did on picking Chris/Riley Photographic.
They are exceptionally professional, and yet fun and easy going when you need them to be. It didn't matter how nervous I was (I hate having pictures taken of me), they really make you feel at ease and like you're just hanging out, only difference is you look AMAZING with hair and make-up done, and you'll see that ease in every picture.
He was very discreet at the wedding, you never knew he was even taking pictures, unless of course he was dancing on the dance floor and having a good time :)
The proofs were outstanding, the album is the most beautiful album I have seen. You are part of the process of the process every step of the way. There wasn't a single detail on my album that wasn't ok'd by me first. They are a joy to work with, the products were 100% satisfying and beyond anything I expected. The quality is fantastic. Out of all the wedding I went to this year, we had our pictures and products back the fastest.
I am utterly proud to say they were my photographer, and wouldn't have been happy with anyone else. Everything just fit perfectly. This is a photographer that will go above and beyond for their customers, and they many many time for us.
They have a customer for life with us :)
Chris from Riley Photographics was amazing to work with!! He was a pleasure to work with before, the day of and after the wedding. On our wedding day he was very professional and fun! We barely saw him, but somehow he captured every moment of our day! Chris went the extra mile for us, as I am sure he does for all of his clients. His passion for photography is evident. You are sure to truly love his work as well as working with him. We couldn't be happier with our photos and intend to work again with Chris in the future, as we are expecting our first child in September!
This is an easy review to write. We hired Chris Riley for our wedding photographer. Wow! We are so happy we made that choice! From the beginning Chris was amazing. We had to plan our wedding from Arizona, so it was slightly challenging choosing our vendors being all the way across the country. He made it easy though. We saw his work online and we were so impressed. His prices are also very reasonable considering his quality of work is so good! Not only is he very talented, but incredible nice and so pleasant to work with. He listened to every request that we had, wanted to get to know us, and what was specifically important to us on our wedding day. We were slightly challenged with time on the wedding day, but Chris was professional, calm and got it all done. My guests and wedding party really enjoyed having him as our photographer as well. He was especially great with the kids. My flower girl like him so much, that she wanted to invite him to her 4th birthday party. That was cute. We couldn't be happier!! He captured so many special moments, and he just "gets it". How he connects with his clients is awesome. We would highly recommend him for a wedding day, or for any other type of project. Thanks Chris! You gave us a gift that will last a lifetime!!!
My husband and I hired Chris as the photographer for our wedding and could not be happier with this decision. The pictures and album are absolutely beautiful! Chris took the time to get to know us, our style, and what we wanted for our wedding. He was always responsive to our questions and requests, made helpful and insightful suggestions and was also an absolute blast to work with! My friends and family are still cmmenting on how much fun he was at the wedding! When our timeline for the day was slightly delayed he stayed longer than we contracted for to ensure he captured all of the important moments of the day without us even asking. We planned our wedding long distance but I never felt as if it was a challenge when working with Chris at all! I would highly recommend him not only for the beautiful pictures, but all the professionalism and just the fact that he is a blast to have at your wedding too!! :-)

use olive oil spray instead of regular olive oil,
I steam my fish with olive oil and spring water if I don't have no more olive oil I use coconut oil.
Olive oil makes you feel full and tends to make you eat less and have fewer sugar cravings. Olive oil is a dense food and thru research it has been found that Olive oil and other nut oils do not make you gain weight. Olive oil is a digestive aid and is high in polyphenols. Proof.in September of 2003 the British Journal of Nutrition reported, it was found a significant loss of body weight and fat mass can be achieved by changing only one eating habit that is exchanging the saturated fats w/Evoo

Dihydroartemisinin (also known as dihydroqinghaosu, artenimol or DHA) is a drug used to treat malaria. Dihydroartemisinin is the active metabolite of all artemisinin compounds (artemisinin, artesunate, artemether, etc.) and is also available as a drug in itself. It is a semi-synthetic derivative of artemisinin and is widely used as an intermediate in the preparation of other artemisinin-derived antimalarial drugs.[1] It is sold commercially in combination with piperaquine and has been shown to be equivalent to artemether/lumefantrine.[2]
The lactone of artemisinin could selectively be reduced with mild hydride-reducing agents, such as sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride, and lithium borohydride to dihydroartemisinin (a lactol) in over 90% yield. It is a novel reduction, because normally lactone cannot be reduced with sodium borohydride under the same reaction conditions (0-5 ˚C in methanol). Reduction with LiAlH4 leads to some rearranged products. It was surprising to find that the lactone was reduced, but that the peroxy group survived. However, the lactone of deoxyartemisinin resisted reduction with sodium borohydride and could only be reduced with diisobutylaluminium hydride to the lactol deoxydihydroartimisinin. These results show that the peroxy group assists the reduction of lactone with sodium borohydride to a lactol, but not to the alcohol which is the over-reduction product. No clear evidence for this reduction process exists.[citation needed]
Dihydroartemisinin is available as a fixed drug combination with piperaquine (each tablet contains 40 mg of dihydroartemisinin and 320 mg of piperaquine).
The adult dose is 1.6/12.8 mg/kg per dose (rounded up or down to the nearest half tablet) given at 0 h, 8 h, 24 h, and 48 h. Alternatively, the same total dose may be given once daily for three days.[3]
Antimalarial activity[edit]
In a systematic review of randomized controlled trials, both dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine and artemether-lumefantrine are very effective at treating malaria (high quality evidence). However, dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine cures slightly more patients than artemether-lumefantrine, and it also prevents further malaria infections for longer after treatment (high quality evidence). Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine and artemether-lumefantrine probably have similar side effects (moderate quality evidence). The studies were all conducted in Africa. In studies of people living in Asia, dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine is as effective as artesunate plus mefloquine at treating malaria (moderate quality evidence). Artesunate plus mefloquine probably causes more nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sleeplessness, and palpitations than dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (moderate quality evidence).[4]
Activity as experimental cancer chemotherapeutic[edit]
Accumulative research suggests that dihydroartemisinin and other artemisinin-based endoperoxide compounds may display activity as experimental cancer chemotherapeutics.[5] Recent pharmacological evidence demonstrates that dihydroartemisinin targets human metastatic melanoma cells with induction of NOXA-dependent mitochondrial apoptosis that occurs downstream of iron-dependent generation of cytotoxic oxidative stress.[6]
Commercial preparations[edit]
In combination with piperaquine:
- D-Artepp (GPSC)
- Artekin (Holleykin)
- Diphos ( Genix Pharma)
- TimeQuin ( Sami Pharma )
- Eurartesim (Sigma Tau; by Good Manufacturing Practices)
- Duocotecxin (Holley Pharm)

Global sea level has been steadily rising for decades and is expected to continue. Scientists have very high confidence that global sea level will rise at least another 8 inches and as much as 6.6 feet by 2100, causing significant impacts in U.S. coastal regions.

The annual Report Card provides clear, concise scientific information on the state of the Arctic region, organized into 5 sections: Atmosphere, Sea Ice & Ocean, Marine Ecosystems, Terrestrial Ecosystems, and Hydrology & Terrestrial Cryosphere. This edition was prepared by an international team of 121 scientists from 14 different countries.

An assessment of the potential for abrupt state changes or regime shifts in ecosystems in response to climate change. Better understanding of sudden changes to ecosystems, and the goods and services they provide, is extremely important if natural resource managers are to succeed in developing adaptation strategies.

Hi, random stranger! I'm Idrelle, sometimes called Idri (because just like bowties, internet nicknames for your internet username are cool!). I spend most of my free time running around the backstage of theatres or in rehearsal studios.
Things to know:
-- I'm always on the look-out for a good story.
A frequently asked question:
"Will you be continuing/finishing This Time Around?"
Answer: In it's current state, no. I am, however, keeping it posted because (a) a lot of people have asked me to, (b) a lot of people still enjoyed it, even thought is is incomplete and (c) it took up a large part of my teenaged life, so it's kind of special. It has a story that I really want to tell, and in light of my return to fan fic, I am working on a new version of it. This new version (which is yet to be titled) will only be posted if I complete it, so I don't leave readers disappointed again. Status of said new version is currently at 1% completion and stalled. Sorry.

Another Perspective
Surrendering, Inch by Inch
The waistband as a measure of life.
A long time ago, in an AA meeting far away, a friend of mine took a peek at the leather label on the waistband of my 501 Levis.
"Thirty-one!" he exclaimed. "I can't remember when I had a thirty-one-inch waistline."
Obviously, I can. But I assure you, it's waisting away. I give up ground grudgingly, inch by inch.
FOR YEARS AND YEARS, I wore thirty-ones and thirty-twos. That measurement survived a bilateral nephrectomy (both my diseased kidneys removed) that resulted in a part of my stomach pooching out, a kidney transplant, years of hard action and rough exercise ("Larry, you're looking positively brawny," said another friend at one point, a year after I had taken up tennis), and parenthood.
Granted, in one dimension, height, I have been shrinking steadily for years. Take prednisone every day for 30 years, as I have, and the bones soften up. I am now a smidge shorter than my younger son's godmother, who came over for a visit last week and compared herself to my sprouting older son, proclaiming her stature as five feet six.
Gravity works its wonders, year by year. A picture stuck to our refrigerator shows me at our younger son's christening in 2002. I am wearing a luxurious pair of wide wale corduroy trousers bought from the late J. Peterman catalog, a skimpy size 32. My hair is brown, too.
Within three years, I was being congratulated by a new friend of ours at the kids' taekwondo school, who complimented me on my luck at having such a young wife at my age.
I always did say Sally would look as good at 50 as she did at 30, and I was right.
FAST FORWARD TO MY DISCHARGE from my last emergency hospitalization. I pulled off the hospital gown and got out my clothes, not seen or worn for a week, and failed by six inches to be able to fasten the waist button of the trousers. The hospital had bollixed up my dialysis, given me peritonitis, and run a succession of IV infusions. I had packed on nearly 40 pounds of fluid weight.
I went home in sweat pants.
Over the next week, under my own care on home dialysis, I peeled off the excess fluid at the rate of about five pounds a day. I had had Sally buy me a pair of Dockers in waist size 40, which I expected to wear for no more than that week, and indeed I didn't.
But I never have gotten back to my former stable size, which, in later years, I had surrendered to a 34 -- and I had hated doing that.
Now, I find, Dockers does not make pants in 35-inch waist sizes -- only even increments of two. So I have two pair of size 36 stay-press Dockers, which I intend wearing only so long as I wait for a kidney transplant -- and a closet full of 34s, many of them very nice, which have been relegated to the "someday" category.

["The path module is really cool." -> SQL]
> I think that at this level you should only return one value at a time.
> But then you would need another interface for searching....
I've been playing with XPath recently and with the right kind of database
schema information, it becomes possible to do stuff like this:
animals = xml.xpath.Evaluate("/zoo/cage/animal[@name = 'Simon']", doc)
This causes various queries to get invoked as the XPath engine explores a
DOM hierarchy which uses the database to populate its elements and
attributes. The result would be a collection of elements which represent the
information from the database as attributes, as in this example:
<animal name='Simon'>
<species name='Giraffe' family='mammal'/>
Of course, relying on the XPath engine too much will result in some fairly
suboptimal querying - for example, the use of "//animal" in the above
example would actually cause the whole document to be searched. It would be
interesting to hear of standardised approaches which permit the XPath engine
to be a bit wiser about the DOM, in order to avoid such penalties.
Returning to the subject of paths, I've also been playing with an XPath
abstraction of filesystem paths:
files = xml.xpath.Evaluate("//*[@type = 'file']", doc)

Jose Lambiet of the PALM BEACH POST has good news for those of you boozing for The Bowl in Lauderdale this week:
In a stunning policy reversal, the city of Fort Lauderdale will no longer enforce its cast-in-stone 13-year-old ban on open liquor containers along the beach.
Until after the Super Bowl!
Ft. Lauderdale is where the NFL's base of operations is for the Super Bowl, along with the media.
I lived in South Beach for over a year and can attest that because of logistics, that's probably not such a bad idea.
But when it comes to partying, Lauderdale pales. Thus the lift on the booze ban.
But starting today, boys and girls are allowed once again to walk along the beachside strip of hotels and restaurants with beer, wine and hard liquor. For as long as it's in a plastic cup. And not on the sand.
The lifting of the liquor regulation affects a two-mile area that'll be one of Super Bowl week's hotspots. It starts at the Indianapolis Colts' hotel, the Marriott Harbor Beach, and stretches north to Sunrise Boulevard.
(Sorry big bruh, scrip clubs don't apply)
The ban returns on the Monday after the Super Bowl.
"The hotel community along the beach lobbied hard for this," said Tom Roth, a marketing honcho at The Atlantic Hotel. The business stands to benefit from the temporary pass, along with the W and Westin hotels. Thousands of fans are expected to bed down there.
Roth says he hopes for a Bourbon Street atmosphere on the days leading to the Feb. 7 Super Bowl at Dolphins Stadium.
Wait, so we're also talking hookers out the window and enough vomit to necessitate going out in galoshes? Careful what you wish for on that one.

Julius Thomas isn't resting on breakout season
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) Pro Bowler Julius Thomas' resume now reads like this: one year of youth football, one year of high school ball, one season in college and, essentially, one full season in the NFL.
''I think he's just going to keep getting better,'' Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase said. ''He works so hard. He's a really smart player and person. So he understands what defenses are trying to do and I'm really excited to see what he can do this year.''
So is general manager John Elway, who knows he'll be breaking the bank for Thomas if he has anything like the season he just had.
The 6-foot-5, 255-pound late-bloomer became a bulls-eye for some of Peyton Manning's biggest moments last year, like when he caught Manning's 51st TD throw that broke Tom Brady's single-season record, one of a dozen touchdown passes he caught, breaking Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe's team record for tight ends.
He was Manning's main target in the AFC Championship, too, with eight receptions for 85 yards a week after his two clutch third-down catches helped ice Denver's win over San Diego.
All of this from a guy who entered the season with just one career catch in his first two injury-filled seasons.
Thomas isn't acting like a man who's arrived, though, but like one who knows he's still a work in progress and has to fine-tune his game.
''I'm spending a lot of time going back and looking at last year's tape these last couple weeks and just seeing so many areas that I can improve in,'' Thomas said. ''By no standards was I my best in any aspect of the game and that's what's really exciting about these offseason OTAs for me is I really get a chance to work on things and improve.''
Thomas doesn't look at the film to relish his big moments but to find the flaws.
''To look back and see all the things that I didn't do so great and know how comfortable I am going into this season and how much I've learned, I'm just excited to go out there and show everyone - and show myself - how hard I've worked this offseason and (show) more of what I can do,'' he said.
Thomas played football as a freshman in high school but when his back started to hurt during a growth spurt, his mother told him he could play basketball but not football. He blossomed into a power forward who would lead Portland State to two NCAA tournament berths, one whose teammates always thought he was joking when he'd talk about playing football when his basketball eligibility expired.
He was no joke on the football field, though, earning All-Big Sky Conference first-team honors in 2010 and catching a touchdown in the East-West Shrine Game along with the attention of the Broncos, who drafted him in the fourth round in 2011.
''It's definitely not the easiest way to do it,'' Thomas said. ''People always talk about, `How are you improving?' How are you getting better at areas that they feel that you should be better in? I always like to remind people it's tough to learn when you're going up against the best people in the world. They say `Just go out there and block DeMarcus Ware.' Well, he's one of the best people in the world at not getting blocked.
''So if you're trying to learn, it gets kind of tough. But it's just a challenge. I'll never be able to make up those years in high school and college that other guys were able to be out there on the field learning the game. But I put in my extra time. Our coaches do a great job of helping me understand what I'm supposed to do, making things simple for me.''
Thomas has also been keeping tabs on Jimmy Graham's situation in New Orleans, where the Saints star received the $7 million tight end franchise tag rather than the $12.3 million wide receiver tag. Graham contends that the frequency with which he lined up split out from the line merits the more lucrative designation.
''Do two letters next to your name on the depth chart really determine your value to a team?'' Thomas said. ''... I don't think that the position matters. I think if you're a guy making plays for your team, then that should be your value.''

Dynamical Conditional Independence Models and Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods
Berzuini, Carlo, Best, Nicola G., Gilks, Walter R., Larizza, Cristiana, Journal of the American Statistical Association
We develop sampling-based methods for models of observations that arise sequentially. Our interest is in applications where analysis of incoming data is required in real time, such as in clinical monitoring. We suppose that the model expands by progressively incorporating new data and new parameters. For example, in clinical monitoring, new patient-specific parameters are introduced with each new patient. Without loss of generality, we imagine that observations [F.sub.1], [F.sub.2], . . ., [F.sub.t], . . . arrive at integer times t = 1, 2, . . ., t, . . .. At each time t, the new data [F.sub.t] are accompanied by a (possibly empty) set of new model parameters or missing data [[Phi].sub.t]. Thus the model for [F.sub.1], . . ., [F.sub.t] comprises unknowns [[Phi].sub.1], . . ., [[Phi].sub.t]. In such a dynamic model (DM), data or parameters incorporated at one expansion stage may at later stages become uninteresting in themselves, such as when a patient dies or is discharged. (Herein, we use the word "parameter" to mean any model unknown, including missing data.)
Sampling-based methods of Bayesian inference and prediction include importance sampling and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Suppose that at time t we have a sample [H.sub.t] of values of ([[Phi].sub.1], . . ., [[Phi].sub.t]) from the posterior distribution [Pi]([[Phi].sub.1], . . ., [[Phi].sub.t][where][F.sub.1], . . ., [F.sub.t]). Arrival of a new data item [F.sub.t+1] shifts interest to the new posterior [Pi]([[Phi].sub.1], . . ., [[Phi].sub.t+1][where][F.sub.1], . . ., [F.sub.at+1]), prompting us to generate a new sample [H.sub.t+1] of values of ([[Phi].sub.1], . . ., [[Phi].sub.t+1]) from [Pi]([[Phi].sub.1], . . ., [[Phi].sub.t+1][where][F.sub.1], . . ., [F.sub.t+1]). When computing the new sample [H.sub.t+1], it seems sensible to try to use information contained in the available sample [H.sub.t]. Under conventional MCMC sampling, this is not possible; with each new data item, the available sample of parameter values must be discarded, and a new sample must be created by restarting the MCMC from scratch on the entire model. This waste of information causes responses to new data to become slow. In particular, it hampers application of the method in real-time contexts.
The aforementioned difficulty can be avoided by adopting sampling methods other than MCMC. Kong, Liu, and Wong (1993; henceforth KLW) proposed a method for sequential updating of posterior distributions based on importance sampling. They retained the original parameter sample [H.sub.0] throughout and took incoming information into account by dynamically adapting the importance weights associated with elements of [H.sub.0]. However, their method is not directly applicable to DMs with an expanding parameter space. Smith and Gelfand (1992) proposed a sampling - importance resampling (SIR) sequential updating scheme. Gamerman and Migon (1993) discussed sequential analysis of data within a dynamic hierarchical model that is a special case of our DMs. They obtained closed forms for the posterior and predictive distributions of interest. In doing this, they assumed knowledge of variance matrices (up to a scalar factor), linearity of the structural equations, and error normality. West (1991, 1993) considered sequential analysis of a special case of our DMs, through a sampling-based method that uses kernel density reconstruction techniques coupled with importance resampling.
We propose two methods that are in some respects developments of KLW's work. The first adapts an importance sampling approach to expanding parameter spaces, and the second combines importance sampling and MCMC sampling. Both methods exploit conditional independence between groups of model parameters, allowing sampled values of parameters that are no longer of interest to be discarded.
In Section 2.1 we assume a general conditional independence structure for a DM, which we describe using a graph (as in Whittaker 1990). …

Trivia lovers swarm to sign up for bee
Put your thinking caps on: There's a trivia bee coming to town, and organizers are looking for teams to put their knowledge to the test.
The Auburn branch of the American Association of University Women hosts the inaugural bee Saturday, March 31, but planning for the event has been under way for months. Organizer Susan Rushton said the ideas for a bee started buzzing after AAUW members learned that several other counties around the state hold trivia bees as fundraisers for various nonprofits.
"There are Friends of the Library in other counties that do this a lot, and apparently it's a great fundraiser," Rushton said.
Teams of three will pay $225 to compete against each other in the bee, and several have already signed up. The theme of the kickoff bee is "Foot-hills, Flowers and Fools," focusing on the history, plants and people of the area. Rather than answering questions one by one, each team will be presented with the same question at the same time, and will confer with each other to answer. The team with the most correct answers at the end of each round moves on. There will be three rounds, with a "sudden death" round if necessary.
Michael Otten, president of the Placer County Historical Society, is on the Trivia Bee committee and has been helping brainstorm answers. It's a good thing AAUW got to him first, because he said he's been approached by several competitors eager to partake of his knowledge of the area by having him as a team member.
Otten said the committee has been working on a list of questions about Auburn, Placer County and the greater foothills area.
"We're working on those we think everybody should know, those that should be a little harder and those that may stump a lot of people," Otten said.
He advised teams to brush up on not only their Placer County history, but also the plants and colorful characters of the area. He thinks teams will benefit from the collaborative format of the bee, bouncing ideas off each other to find the answer.
For those who don't compete, there's still an opportunity to get in on the fun. Those who come to cheer on their favorite team will enjoy an evening of fun competition and a meal from Laura Kenny's Real Food Catering.
Money raised will go toward AAUW's scholarships for local young women, benefiting high school graduates, women re-entering college and for Tech Trek, a weeklong science and math class for girls entering eighth grade.
One team, the "Legal Divas," consists of three women from the Ashford & Strasser Law Firm.
"We thought it would be a great way to get involved," said attorney and team member Nina Ashford. She joins firm partner Laura Strasser and Shannon Clay to form the Divas. "All of us like trivia, and the trivia is centered around the area where we live. I think we'll have lots of fun, and some good laughs."
Rushton said several recognizable names have signed up to form teams, including Mike Holmes, Jim Holmes and Jennifer Montgomery; Auburn Recreation District representatives; and Ben Harwell's State Farm Insurance. The last team standing wins bragging rights, a perpetual trophy and entry into next year's Trivia Bee.
"The idea is just to have a great time in an interesting way," Otten said. "Usually, when you get two or three people together, one will jog the other and there will probably be someone who will have the answer … and if you don't, you can still have a good time trying to guess."

A Weblog, which is usually shortened to blog, is a website where regular entries are made (such as in a journal or diary) and presented in reverse chronological order. Blogs often offer commentary or news on a particular subject, such as technology, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Most blogs are primarily textual although many focus on photographs, videos, or audio.
Some blogs are very focused on the personal writing of the author. Others take an editorial approach, as editors search the Web looking for interesting content. On their blogs, they may then write up a short comment and link to this content. Others use blogs as a collaborative tool among a defined group of people who work together on a specific product or issue. Read more about blogs on Wikipedia.org.
Another form of blogging is the microblog. As its name suggests, microblogging is simply writing extremely short blog posts in the vein of text messaging. The messages can either be viewed by anyone or by a restricted group that is chosen by the user.
"This is my opinion and does not constitute an endorsement, opinion orofficial position of the U.S. Army".
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. This year started out with much hope and anticipation toward the major events our family was due to experience. National signing day for my son, high school graduation, college, new schools, PCS move… the list goes on. However, on 1 January after a phone call from a friend's mother, I found myself completely devastated. I had just been told that one of my dearest friends was in the hospital and that the doctor's were running tests to determine whether she had Lymphoma or Leukemia. A million thoughts ran through my head and I questioned why something like this could happen to such a wonderful person at such a young age? Eventually, the diagnosis was Adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia. I still couldn't wrap my head around this card that had been dealt. I wanted to ask Why her? Why now? Why this? Why?
I finally got the chance to speak directly to my girlfriend. We laughed and we cried. When I told her about my Why questions she said she had a different set of Why questions… Why these beautiful, good sons? Why this splendid husband who adores me? Why these great friends? Why this wonderful mother? I wasn't sure how to respond. She continued on…It doesn't seem fair they have to go through this but I know they are here for me. Each of these people I envision embracing me and giving me the strength and willingness to commit to another day of mystery and suspense. We spoke for a little while longer and what impacted me most was her attitude and how positive she was. She made a statement that I will remember for some time. "I am grateful for every single day, every single new procedure I must endure, every moment breathing and alive, and sharing with friends and strangers. I want to live my life with an open heart, a curious nature, and a smile on my face." I think about our conversation a lot and what I realized most is that in the face of adversity my girlfriend chose to be positive to not allow the negative to consume her. Her attitude meant everything!
My revelation became believing that "Attitude", is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say, or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. The same is true for you. We are in charge of our attitudes.
Remember that, believe it and channel it – hopefully 2010 will be a terrific year for all!

The Seattle Storm have announced that former MVP Lauren Jackson will miss the entire 2014 WNBA season after undergoing surgery on her knee and Achilles tendon earlier this week.
Lauren Jackson has undergone surgery in Australia on her knee and Achilles tendon putting her status for the upcoming WNBA season with the Seattle Storm in question.
Is the outlook bleak or does Supersonic hope still spring eternal?
Seimone Augustus hit a 15-foot jumper with 21.1 seconds left and the Minnesota Lynx held off the Seattle Storm for a 58-55 victory on Sunday and a sweep of the best-of-three Western Conference semifinals.
The legal system gives and it takes away. California investor and would-be NBA owner Chris Hansen knows that well. In one afternoon he scored a major legal victory, and was also fined tens of thousands of dollars by the state of California.
A Seattle group opposed to professional sports subsidies says arena developer Chris Hansen is getting a sweetheart deal and taxpayers are picking up the tab.
Tina Thompson showed once again that she has plenty left at age 38. Thompson scored 14 of her 23 points in the second half and became the third player in WNBA history to reach 3,000 career rebounds, leading the Seattle Storm to a 77-70 win over the defending champion Indiana Fever on Saturday night.
Maya Moore scored 20 points and Lindsay Whalen added 19 to help the Minnesota Lynx clinch their third consecutive Western Conference title with a 73-60 victory over the Seattle Storm on Tuesday night.
Reserve Riquna Williams scored 26 points as the Tulsa Shock snapped a six-game losing streak with an 86-59 win Wednesday over the Seattle Storm.
Tamika Catchings scored 18 points and the defending champion Indiana Fever pulled away in the fourth quarter and beat the Seattle Storm 71-63 on Sunday night.
Candice Dupree had 18 points and Brittney Griner added 17 points, seven rebounds and three blocked shots to lead the Mercury (0-2). DeWanna Bonner scored 11 points and Diana Taurasi had 10.
Angel McCoughtry didn't want the Atlanta Dream to slow down without Sancho Lyttle on the floor.
The Los Angeles Sparks haven't shied away from talking about their championship aspirations entering the 2013 season.
After months of waiting and politicking, recommendations and reversals, and a remarkable amount of money being thrown around, fans in Seattle will finally learn Wednesday whether they will cheer on a team with the SuperSonics name again or whether the Kings will remain in Sacramento.
A person familiar with the deal says the Maloof family has reached an agreement with a Sacramento group headed by software tycoon Vivek Ranadive to sell a 65 percent controlling interest in the Kings at a total franchise valuation of $535 million.

Last updated: March 7, 2013 - 8:43am
Massachusetts lawmakers could soon consider a bill that would restrict the commercial use of data gathered while children use computers at public schools. Its stated purpose is protecting privacy. An unnamed focus of the bill—backed by Microsoft -- is Google.
The bill, introduced in January, appears to take aim at Google's growing business of providing basic software like email and word processing over the Internet, which, in turn, is a growing threat to Microsoft's cash-cow suite of Office tools. The proposed legislation would prohibit companies that provide schools with "a cloud-computing" service—a digital service accessed via the Web—from using the information gleaned from schoolchildren for advertising or other commercial purposes. Microsoft acknowledges it is behind the Massachusetts legislation and that the bill is aimed at business practices employed by Google. The move opens a new front in a long-running battle between the software rivals in which Microsoft has run advertisements questioning Google's privacy practices and pressed regulators to more closely police Google's activities.

Given all the UX31A has to offer, chances are you'll be pleased with your purchase. Just evaluate your patience for temperamental touchpads before you pull the trigger.Read the full review →
As low as
A high-res display, and a much-improved keyboard
When ASUS first released the UX31E last fall, we found plenty to like in its striking design, high-quality display and brisk performance. The addition of backlighting and a more comfortable keyboard -- not to mention the step up to Ivy Bridge and Intel HD Graphics 4000 -- makes the whole package considerably better.
But that doesn't mean the Zenbook Prime UX31A is now the best. To claim that title, it needs a more usable trackpad, above all else. We still think the MacBook Air is a better all-around ultraportable, as it offers a more comfortable touchpad and keyboard in a similarly attractive package, though we wish it packed an IPS 1080p display like the one on the UX31A. And though it's considerably more expensive, you might also be happier with the Samsung Series 9, which lasts longer on a charge, rocks an impressive display of its own and sports a more reliable trackpad. Still, given all the UX31A has to offer, chances are you'll be pleased with your purchase. Just evaluate your patience for temperamental touchpads before you pull the trigger.

The Zenbook Prime is an attractive, well-built Ultrabook with a really great screen and pretty good "everything else."Read the full review →
Asus makes some of the most full-featured ultrabooks available, but this stripped-down Zenbook UX32A version is missing those extras and faces tough competition in its price range.Read the full review →
The Asus Zenbook UX31A is the best-looking and most compact of the current batch of 13-inch Asus ultrabooks. Unfortunately, there are plenty of systems with the same components and reasonably similar designs for under $1,000, making this a tough sell from a value perspective.Read the full review →
The ZenBook Prime UX31A is everything the ZenBook UX31E should have been, and more. We have no hesitation in recommending this laptop if you truly want no-compromise performance in an ultrabook.Read the full review →
It's thin, light, has a backlit keyboard and its battery life is impressive. It still isn't perfect, and our primary gripe with this model is its touchpad, but it doesn't overshadow the strong Ivy Bridge-based configuration and the beautiful IPS-based screen.Read the full review →
Sadly though what prevents this Ultrabook from becoming a true portable great is two things. First is the track pad ... and second is the irritating level of bloatware ... If you can get round these issues, then there is a very impressive piece of kit here which will definitely turn heads.Read the full review →
While in terms of power, battery life and finishing not much has changed since the excellent UX31E, the Zenbook Prime UX31A adds a second USB 3.0 port and, most importantly, a superb, matte, Full HD IPS display. That bumps it up to the coveted five stars.Read the full review →
In a sea of Windows 8 machines with funky swivel screens and striking designs, the sleek style of the Zenbook UX32VD may struggle to get noticed. But awareness issues aside, this is a solid performing ultrabook at a reasonable price.Read the full review →
The issue is with the competition: with rival models also delivering solid all-round performance, if not the pixel-perfect display, for hundreds of pounds less, the Zenbook Prime UX31A looks to have priced itself out of the market before it's even got off the ground.Read the full review →
The Zenbook UX32A is a solid Ultrabook – thanks to the remarkably attractive design and the addition of an Ivy Bridge chipset. If there's one criticism to be levelled, it's that the battery life could have been better.Read the full review →
The Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A is a premium computer with a price tag to match. The build quality is excellent, the performance is great for an Ultrabook and the screen is top-notch. Sadly, the battery life makes you think twice about its good points.Read the full review →
I wanted to love this laptop so so much. You get the build and style of a MacBook air and the nVidia of a gamers rig, the 1080P IPS screen is by far the best thing since retina.

Simply fantastic laptop! This ultrabook is untouchable, no other ultrabook is this good! Not even the Macbook Air. If you want to improve the speed of this laptop, you just have to buy an SSD an put it into the laptop instead of the 500 GB storage.Read the full review →
All I can say is: "WoW". This is the best Notebooks that I've ever seen and I even compared it with the Retina-Macbook.
