A Tallahassee man who stopped a robbery gives meaning to the term--"neighborhood watch." Joe Byers was awarded Tuesday night for his bravery, but says he doesn't deserve it. Earlier this month--Byers helped Tallahassee Police catch a 30 year old man and a 13 year old boy who tryed to break into his neighbor's house. He called the police as soon as he saw what was happening and identified the suspects when they were caught moments later.
"They were hurrying up my neighbor's driveway in a very sneaky kind of way and the next thing I knew, they had gone behind her house and were trying to break into her house, so I couldn't believe it." said Byers.
Byers was honored Tuesday night at a neighborhood watch meeting at Optimistic Park.

A few interesting historical and statistical bits of data came to my attention lately, and I thought I would share them:
1) In Steve's posts on Derek Jeter a few days ago, he compared Jeter to Mickey Mantle, and noted that Mantle's decline greatly hurt the club in 1965-1968. In an ensuing discussion that took place on GReader, Matt Bouffard of Fack Youk pointed out that Mantle's decline has become overstated among pundits and Yankees fans. To quote:
Mickey Mantle's final four seasons:
1965: 2.9 fWAR, 2.0 bWAR, 137 OPS+, .371 wOBA
1966: 3.8 fWAR, 3.7 bWAR, 170 OPS+, .402 wOBA
1967: 4.4 fWAR, 4.1 bWAR, 149 OPS+, .373 wOBA
1968: 3.9 fWAR, 3.6 bWAR, 142 OPS+, .362 wOBA
When I expressed surprise over the high quality of those numbers due to my impression that Mantle had totally fallen off a cliff at the end of his career, Matt had this to say:
I guess the issue of Mantle's performance depends on your perspective. There's no doubt it declined, but there's no way he could continue to put up 6 or 7+ WAR a year, let alone his 10+ WAR seasons, particularly considering the toll that injuries and hard living took on his body. So in that regard he was a shell of his former self.
However, he was still a very much above average to elite ball player. His traditional numbers did take a dive after '64, but that had far more to do with the second dead ball era than it did with his age, injuries, and decline. Mantle hit a combined .241 over his last two seasons, but the league averages for those two years were just .236 and .230. And he still had so much power and plate discipline that he finished second in the league in walks both years and 5th and 3rd in OBP.
Personally I'm of the opinion that Mantle probably wasn't quite as great as his OPS+ says he was over those last two years. Plate discipline remains, whether offense is suppressed or not, so I think some metrics overvalue all the walks he took.
It is a testament to Mantle that despite being hobbled by various ailments by the end of his career, he was still able to perform at a high level. If Derek Jeter's decline looks anything like Mantle's, his next contract would not be nearly the disaster many are expecting it to be.
2) In a story about Cy Young voting injustices, Cliff Corcoran said the following:
Just ask Mike Mussina, the pitcher most likely to be harmed by that wins-based voting. Mussina should have won the AL award over his teammate Clemens in 2001, but instead ended his career without a Cy Young. For a lesser pitcher that would have been a simple disappointment, but for Mussina, a borderline Hall of Fame candidate, that could prove to be a crucial omission from his resume when he comes up for election in 2014.
My first reaction was to have the 17-year old version of me well up and dispute the claim, remembering the insane 20-1 start to Roger's season. However, a closer look at the numbers quelled that urge, as Mussina was clearly the better pitcher by almost any available metric, and got a 5th place finish for his efforts.
Clemens: 5.4 WAR, 20-3, 3.51 ERA, 220.1 IP, 213 K, 1.26 WHIP, 0CG, 0SHO
Mussina: 6.5 WAR, 17-11, 3.15 ERA, 228.2 IP, 214 K, 1.07 WHIP, 4CG, 3SHO
That is not even that close. As Corcoran notes, the Yankees scored 5.74 runs per game for Clemens, but just 4.21 runs per game for Mussina. That was the difference between winning the award and first place, and that result will likely hurt Mussina's Hall of Fame chances. Also, not to horn in on Matt's grand cause, but go compare the numbers of Mussina and Tom Glavine. Mussina was the better pitcher by most measures, yet Glavine's willingness to hang around until he reached 300 wins makes him a significantly more likely candidate to be voted in quickly. I think Mussina will get in eventually, but will have to linger on the ballot for a while and get Blyleven-type support before he makes it.
3) CC Sabathia has been really good for quite a long time. You can make the argument that he has been one of the two or three best pitchers in baseball over the last 5 seasons, with quality and durability being the criteria for eligibility for that title. This article by Cliff Corcoran inspired me to go look at the WAR leaderboards for the last 5 seasons. Cliff looked at the AL top 10 in SNLVAR over the last few seasons, while I expanded the look to 5 seasons and top 15 in the two leagues combined.
It turns out that only two pitchers have been in the top 15 in Fangraphs WAR in every season over the last 5 years: Roy Halladay and CC Sabathia. Using BB-Ref WAR, no one makes that list in all 5 seasons, but CC did qualify in 4 seasons (missed in 2009, was 21st). The only other pitcher to qualify in that many seasons? Again, Roy Halladay. While these criteria obviously exclude some of the best pitchers due to either injury, youth, one poor season, or other factors, they do illustrate the consistent excellence that CC has provided.

West Ham United Message Board
Sunglasses_Ron Sunglasses_Ron Dec 8, 2006 05:47 Flag
here we go again
Here we go again then fellas & lasses....another foray into the deepest darkest depths of west ham support.....as stated in an earlier post the time for excuses is over. And the time to stand up and be counted is beckoning. Are the guys up to it? who knows?
Are they going to surprise us all and win against bolton this w/end? hmmmm now there's a poser for you. Now last season you could sit and look at fixtures all you liked and said to yourself...yeah we're going to win this one, and so they did. This season however if west ham were playing Ashford town (local side) you could not say for deffo weather they would win or not. There seems to be a deep rooted problem there somewhere, and I for one cannot put my finger on it? I think teddy should be starting games rather than being a banker for saving us in the closing minutes of games, it's not happening.
My one and only thought(obvious I know) is that short of deano who have we actually got that is a regular goal scorer? and on evidence (of last season) and this, other than said deano we ain't got one. Carlton cole I think is along for the ride, (he did actually say in an interview that west ham were a stepping stone to something bigger). Ok....Marlon, (much better than given credit for) and bobby "z" chip in with there quota, nobody can argue that. But are they regular goal scorers? consistent is the word I think I am looking for?
Yossi ok gets the occasional one (or two) hayden mullins...yeah....lee bowyer hmmm at the moment couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat!! matty....occasionally, and although he did join us later on in the season last year deano...but to my way of thinking he earned he's corn, not only for scoring but as a play maker too.
Think the point I am trying to make is (sorry very confused by whats happening at mo, can't make head nor tail of it) We need a teddy sheringham on the pitch at the start of a game not coming on when all is lost...and I think when teddy is finally out of puff deano can give that to us...he's that type of player, mr Pardew is taking a major gamble on carlos tevez actually scoring a goal, I know that sounds as though I am having a go at the fella but believe me I ain't I think he to is having to much pressure put on him to score goals, and lets face it it's not happening is it? So let someone with a proven record start games i.e. Teddy get the game sorted and then let the youngsters go and have a play.....Personally I think "a" it takes pressure off tevez (then let him show us what he can do) "b" Teddy can steady the ship if it starts rocking...and lets face it who else (at the moment can we rely on) the guy has been there done it got the tee-shirt, cap and been in the sodding video for feck sake!! Perhaps I am being to critical for my own good but surely we need to start taking games by the scruff of the neck before we experiment with different players?
The prem is not the place for that when you are in our position, cos it dosen't take any prisoners.
I think there is still hope for us staying up this season, but it's only gonna happen if they start to get there heads around the fact they are bottom three at the moment. Christ don't I waffle eh?
sod it!!!! I'm off now......see ya later guys
keep the faith.

Staff strikes have cost the Tanzania Zambia Railway Authority (Tazara) over USD 4 million (about 6bn/-) since June 2010. Conrad Simuchile, the authority's head of public relations said in an exclusive interview with this paper in Dar es Salaam yesterday that every single day trains have been grounded has meant around USD 100,000 (150m/-) in lost business.
"Workers have been laying down tools almost every month. This has had a nasty impact on productivity," he said, adding: "These strikes are now too frequent for comfort. They have had a disastrous effect on our operations, particularly in terms of lost revenue."
Simuchile explained that the management has done the most it could since the beginning of this financial year (in July last year) to ensure the stoppages end and no new ones take place, but to little avail.
He said at yesterday's exchange rate, the USD 4m loss in financial year 2010/2011 "translates into an astounding 6 billion/- in the space of a little over ten months, all due to unnecessary, recurring industrial action".
Operational inefficiencies and payment transfer problems are blamed for the recent standoff between Tazara staff and their management, which is accused of gross mismanagement resulting in failure to honour salary payments.
But the management insists that the problems have nothing to do with availability of money, since money is not the problem, with Simuchile arguing: "Tazara makes money, (it) has a lot of business," and adding that the strikes are "a consequence of forces outside the company's operational sphere".
"Our longest-serving employees understand that business is not the problem" he said in a press statement issued on Wednesday, adding that previous strikes were staged "under a different set of circumstances".
The statement quoted the management as saying the authority has begun resolving some of the problems that nearly set off another round of strikes only days ago.
It said new arrangements have been made under which "local cash flow isn't wholly dependent on revenue collection in Zambia, ensuring that if ever there is any delay in transferring funds to Tazara's Dar es Salaam headquarters, the railroad carrier gets access to short-term financing from a local financial institution".
Simuchile called the transfer problem "unavoidable", saying that was because Zambia is the largest revenue collection point for the carrier and the money has to be consequently moved to the Dar es Salaam headquarters "before it is processed and recapitalised".
He said all of Tazara's 2,800 employees have been received their salaries for last month "and salaries for May will be issued on schedule, by the end of the month".
The statement said the management "understands that it cannot break this vicious cycle of accusations and strikes without the cooperation of its employees".
"We need the support of everybody," it said, adding that workers and management would have to "find common ground to move the railways outfit forward".
Tazara's statement was a response to recent calls from employees to the governments of Tanzania and Zambia to pressure the carrier to pay their salaries promptly.
The workers argued that the carrier was financially insecure and not in a position to meet its payroll obligations, adding in a statement: "If (Tazara) cannot buy fuel for its passenger trains, how can they pay us?"
In its heyday, Tazara operated a fleet of passenger and cargo trains on the 1,860-kilometre Chinese built line once fondly referred to as the "Great Uhuru Railway". It is now however reeling under the weight of operational problems.
The railway's construction then stood as the largest single project ever undertaken jointly by Tanzania and Zambia and the largest single economic assistance project ever financed by the Chinese government.
Meanwhile, Tazara workers in Mbeya have been on strike for three consecutive days to press for payment of their salaries. This has prompted intervention by top officials of the Tanzania Railway Workers Union (TRAWU), with deputy chairman Mussa Kalala telling the workers that they (the union) met Transport minister Omari Nundu recently "and all your claims and demands were presented to him".
He said the union has given the minister until today to respond to their grievances, including those involving former Tazara employees.

Welcome to Yoshi Unleashed, my 3rd project! This will take quite a long time to do, about a few weeks.
You must be logged in to post a comment.
This whole predicmant all started when Yoshi was chilling in his hut, silently reading his favorite magazine. Then, out of nowhere, a giant (what appeared to be) Shy Guy smashed into his house and stole all of Yoshi's cookies!! Yoshi was so interested in his magazine that he didnt even look up from it. He yawned and went to get a cookie from the bowl in the kitchen. They were all missing though! Yoshi panicked and ran around for a long time before he saw a giant brick wall blocking the way out of his house. He ran into the bedroom and saw that the exit from there was bricked up too! He pooped an egg out and started to fire his eggs at the bricks surrounding his house. Help Yoshi break through the wall and finally be UNLEASHED!

If I remove the heatsink from my processor temporarily, then later put it back without changing the heatsink or CPU, do I need to reapply thermal paste?
The thermal paste is there to provide good heat conductivity between the CPU and the heatsink. If you separate the two, it is best for you to reapply some thermal paste (VERY thin layer) in order to maintain good thermal contact between the two.
I usually prefer to clean both the heat sink and the CPU with a q-tip and some alcohol before reapplying thermal paste... and I have never experienced any problems doing so but I can't really recommend doing so in case either your heat sink or CPU does not like alcohol :)
Can you? Yes
Should you? Probably not. Do you really want to risk it? A tube of thermal paste costs 15$ at a computer repair shop and is good for several applications.
I basically fried my CPU back in Dec 08 and needed to buy a new one due to the fact that, I didn't replace the thermal compound. It was something that I greatly regret and whenever someone now says, "no thermal compound is needed", I would laugh at them and their fried CPU if they actually did replace the heat sink without the thermal compound. It just isn't worth taking the risk! I did and where did it get me?
I just did it. Cleaned my PC removed the heatsink to clean the fan and didn't replace the thermal paste -(which looked like it will need to be replace soon enough)- and my computer is not giving me any troubles yet, so Yes you can do it. It is just not recommended you do so.
Yes you need thermal paste. and alchool is safe for CPU And Heatsink But you dont really need to clean it.

For the second consecutive year, a Tupelo Christian Preparatory School student athlete has won the Wendy's High School Heisman for the state of Mississippi.
TCPS senior Mary Cockrell was named the 2013 state winner for her success on the field, in the classroom and in the community.
"It's really a big honor for my school," said Cockrell, who competes in basketball, swimming and tennis for the Eagles. "I've played sports my whole life. I go from sport to sport working to get better.
"I enjoy being part of a team and helping encourage everybody."
Postseason success
Cockrell recently qualified for and competed in the MHSAA Class I Swim Championships at Delta State University in Cleveland. She was a member of the 200-yard medley relay, swimming the backstroke. She also swam on the Lady Eagles' 200-yard freestyle and 400-yard freestyle relay units.
All three units competed in the state finals.
In tennis, she qualified for last season's Class 1A state tournament in Jackson in girls doubles.
She will now be considered to become a national finalist by the Wendy's High School Heisman panel of judges.
Cockrell's award now makes this back-to-back years that TCPS has had a state award winner. Last year, Evan Talton was the winner.

Really, if it's just that they have bad credit but they are a good person, or there was a circumstance like a divorce or medical bills -- a single event or a series of events that will not happen again the future. How do they feel about it? Do they regret having bad credit or do they feel like, so what?
If it's so what -- that means you're going to have bad credit.
And never commingle, that is a biggie.
Keep your money separate. You don't know what can happen day-to-day. We live in such a litigious society. Someone could come after one of you and take down both of you for such silly things.
When a couple gets married, what should they do to prepare their finances?
Have a plan. Have a man and a plan. That's what I tell women: You need both. Where do you want to go financially and how are you going to get there?
You really need a plan that includes a heck of a lot of logic and that you will actually do.
It's not enough to have a plan and say, "Here are the numbers," if you know you're not going to be able to execute it.
Decide: Are we going to put money away for retirement in 401(k)s, put money into a self-directed Roth IRA and then start investing it in other ways to grow it faster or start a business?
What are you going to do and how are you going to do it?
Most people spend more time planning their wedding than they do planning their marriage and it should be the other way around.
What kind of financial situations can trip up divorcing couples?
There are certain things that couples do that leave them in a lurch or maybe they don't know that they owe taxes. The fun part is when you get divorced and your tax return from three years ago gets audited and you find out you owe money or you have to fight it together.
One thing you can do -- it's a loophole, but I like it -- you ask the IRS to audit your return. They only have 18 months from the date that you request it and then they can never go back.
So if you ask them to look at it and they don't -- or they do and they say OK -- they can't go back later and say, "No, we found something."
It's like getting a clean pass, or drawing a line in the sand -- boom, done.
That is something that people can think about doing.
And if you are divorcing, there is no reason to wait until the final divorce decree to start dividing the assets. You can do that on your own. You can use interspousal transfer deeds, moving things around and switching them out and make it as painless as possible.
I find that most couples don't do that. They wait until the last minute and let emotions get in the way and do things to spite the other person.
Here's the thing for divorcing couples: Family court is not a court of law. Actual law and logic does not necessarily apply.
There is way more going on under the surface that you do not or will not ever know about that impacts your rulings and your case. The only way to keep that out of the mix is to stay out of court.
So that means doing your own marital settlement agreement and then you agree on everything and hand it to the court and say, "We agree on this. You better sign it."

Stroke my main sex organ...
posted 10/29/2006 3:10:10 AM |
what's this?
report abuse
... and no, I'm not talking about the two lovely mounds that God gave me in order to nurture my children after birth or the very essence of womanhood that lies just north of my thighs and south of my navel. (Don't get me wrong. Like many others of the human race, I also enjoy being touched.)
But... that which I'm speaking about often goes untouched, and it, in MY opinion, is the most important sex organ we possess. **Watching closely as many scratch their heads and a few scratch their asses**... Give up?? Allow me to explain. I am talking about the BRAIN... No, I'm not talking about prying apart my skull and stroking my cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem; instead, I'm referring to an individual's ability to relate to me on an intellectual level. I'm not asking to conversate about sociological theories and the differences between Comte and Spencer's world views, but I would like to know that the person I'm with can carry on a semi-intelligent conversation. I mean, hellfire, at least have the ability to put together coherent sentences. Is that too much to ask?
Many people fail to realize the importance of a connection that exists outside the realm of pure sexual interaction. What happens when a mind blowing sexual encounter is over? Do you simply sit in the midst of an awkward silence? Or do you walk away from that person, leaving them with questions of what you think and how you feel dancing around in their pretty little minds? Conversation fills the space in time that exists between the hours spent making love (or having sex), so why is it that so many people suck at it?
I see my fair share of emails on this site, and I'm always amazed at the lines that people use as an attempt to lure a potential mate (or fuck buddy). Hey, whatever floats your boat. Who am I to judge? All I'm saying is that not everyone responds to "Damn you're sexy, wanna fuck?" or "Here's my number. Call me so we can hook up." Some people like to know that their presence (thoughts, feelings, desires, etc.) means more to the surrounding world than just a simple use for purely selfish sexual gratification, and others could care less. I personally fall into the first category.
A little hint to the clueless individuals. An amazing mental connection often leads to an even more amazing sexual connection. Take the time to explore the other individual and let a little anticipation build. By the time you get around to bumping uglies, the intimate connection that already exists will intensify the passion shared between the two participants. Don't get me wrong, hardcore animalistic fucking includes its own share of passion, but for those in search of something a little more meaningful in the long run, they really should fully consider how they approach someone of the opposite sex (or the same sex, for that matter). After all, first impressions can often be dealbreakers.
For those of you who are here simply to get laid, more power to you. For those of you who are looking for something a little more on the serious side of the relationship scale, best of luck in your search. Personally, I'm in search of something that encompasses a fine balance between the two.. Who knows? Maybe my brain stroking session is just around the corner............

When you talk like that on this site, it's lost on a bunch, but you do preach to a small band of faithful. That was well put, you do speak well.
Oct 29 @ 8:24AM
I am going to put in my blog post from months back is support of her point.
I saw Forrest Gump online here and sent him an email as I had to know why he disgusts everyone that sits down pee with his lewd and sleazy propositions.
His reply reflected the philosophy of many online males. "Women are just like a box of chocolates. It doesn't matter which one you choose, as long as you get a piece."
I have heard the axiom attributed to both Mark Twain and Albert Einstein: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Having read several male blog posts out of curiosity, may I respectfully suggest that you try doing something different, like writing something intelligent and communicative that exceeds one or two sentences.
The most sensual part of a woman is her mind. If you don't stimulate it, you will stimulate nothing.
Oct 29 @ 8:24AM
All I have to say is "Damn you're sexy, wanna fuck?" Heh-heh...just kidding! I agree with you whole-heartedly, darlin'! Hard to find that balance between physical and mental stimulation...Best of luck to you (and me!)

Brain stroking is the best

Yes, the intelligent women gain yet another beautiful voic to our little club, Angel welcome and well come you are! Keep the faith girl, I gotcha back!

They are a lot less rare than you'd think.
But one thing that can be said is that they are never

you hit the nail right on the head. Sex is nice but you cannot have it all the time. But a long chat over a good cup of coffee can last for hours.
May 25 @ 1:26AM
Well as a really awesome lady told me theres a difference between making love and fucking. I find that she was sooo right. I think you have the right idea Angel. Great post.
May 28 @ 8:11AM
I am confused. This sight is for sexual adventures. There are hundreds of Dating sights for those who are seeking a LTR.
All I want is a good woman that loves to feel good and the same.
Before its to late I ma going for it, time goes so fast and I don't want to be sitting on the porch saying, I should of, I could of.
May 28 @ 2:09PM
i luv a woman...with a big set of........BRAINS

There has to be feelings between 2 people. If not, than it's just prostitution. It's not making love.

little one,i was in love one time many moons ago,what i remember most of all,we wre kick back on the beach,she touched me and she jumped i said what baby she laughed and said you shocked me,it was so cool we touched each other back and forth with our lil sparks
Jul 15 @ 7:20PM
Ok, Angel, you know I have been a scientest for over 30 years with a MS degree from Washington University. Now what year do you want to get married and discuss the 11 dimensional M (superstring) theory replacing the classical atomic model theory? Lets forget quantum mechanics since God doesn't play with dice, and I dont have dice either, so we can think of something else to play?
Jul 17 @ 10:40PM
Very well put and I agree with you 100 percent that being said I think one would be expecting a very base response due to the nature of this site...Cheers
Jul 26 @ 12:09PM
You got that right. Most men only think about one thing.
Jul 26 @ 2:33PM
ugh, another one who thinks her main sex organ is her mind.
If you aren't already mentally turned on when sleeping with a partner, maybe you should get out of the bed, get dressed and try again.
Jul 28 @ 7:38PM
Very good blog. Am looking for a lady that can stroke me as well as I stroke her, that would a beautiful thing.

sex education 1967 in health class. about eggs and fertiztilization, a little
psychology of both sexes, discussions of pygmy complex, inferiority complexes,
etc. and an emphasis on the facts of life and sexual reproduction. pregnancy
most evidently a result of intercourse. sex education today. johnny and
angela please come forward and show the class how its done. class, how
do you grade their performance. do you feel they are compatible, should
they get married, have the baby, or just get an abortion? bareback riding
encouraged. so as to keep diseases going. and pregnancy continuing.
why? a sadistic evil educational system. but of course, morality is not
generally considered. but of course, abstinece discouraged as it causes
major frustration. self control discouraged, the people are encouraged
to feel free, and let it all just 'be hip'. to indulge themselves. all that
matters is 'getting off', so that you feel relieved. the means to getting
off are not generally important. is this evolution? or deevolution.
they have gone back to the stone age. like the cute song back
in the 1950's, i want a cave man, an ape man. by patti smith.
and also at that time came out, itsy weeny teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini.
proliferation of porn. and weaponry. of all kinds. never stopping to make
a value judgement or a consideration of sexual ethics. or military ethics.
or the overall value of this whole situation. just a pell mell rush with no thought
as to why. we had hopes for generation y, that they would stop, look and listen
and wonder why. look before they leapt. generation z is coming along.
back to a soon. do re mi fa so la ti do, and back to do. a to z and back to a.
the y in the road, which way to go. do all roads have an equal destination.

I can sit right here and truthfully say "I know what you're talking about." I have been divorced for six years and have not had a drop of sex since then. I have, however, had my brain stroked by a lot of people on this site and others. Finally, my survival is not all about sex, but ideas. Try to explain that to me six or more years ago. I've got it down to a science. I can interpret signs from women and know if they want a relationship with someone or no one. Since I really have no vested interest in their B.S., it's easier to read. Tell me what you think, Ernie8888
Aug 31 @ 12:35PM
thank-you Angel for writing such beautiful prose and reminding me that i do want more out of a relationship.
you are right, i do need to connect more on brain signals and to commit to a more meaningful relationship.
May I take you to dinner tonight ?
Sep 19 @ 6:45PM
go to oprah go tp oprah
Sep 24 @ 12:38AM
I also agree a great deal with what you said. A friend of mine works in the mall and hears all sorts of retarded pick up lines. My main question is, "Do these ever work?!"
I mean seriously. I was standing there and a guy walked up to one of her coworkers, asked how old she was and after she responded said, "Mmm, sexy." Has he had a god return rate with this kinda shit? But I repeat myself,
I occasionaly want to ask people who say these things that question.
Oct 10 @ 10:43AM
nice little blog. i've actually been on both ends, believe it or not, so i can actually understand being dumbfounded & not having anything intelligent to say, & i most definitely understand needing something in the brain, lol. have a great week.
Oct 10 @ 10:45AM
also, i wanted to add that you are right, no matter what a woman has to be turned on mentally & emotionally or it just doesn't work (uhhh, men, you should pay attention)!

Future doctors talking about getting high, posting patient details on Facebook, pulling a prank with a cadaver...is it acceptable behavior?
A new medical school survey in the Journal of the American Medical Association finds that SOME future doctors are getting into trouble for their unprofessional writings and postings online.
The study's lead author says the examples cited above are only "the tip of the iceberg."
A quick search of YouTube finds numerous videos posted by medical students, from harmless musical numbers to a prank with what appears to be a dead body. The study's author says there's no way to tell whether the cadaver prank is real or not. But either way, she says, it doesn't reflect well on the medical profession.
What do you think? Are med students entitled to a little college fun like other students, or is what's reported in this study crossing the line?

- Lawyer: Actor's alleged groping was role
GOLDEN — Vincent Margera, who played Don Vito on his nephew's MTV show, "Viva La Bam," collapsed in court Wednesday after being found guilty of two counts of sexual assault on a child.
Margera had been charged with three counts of sexual assault on a child in connection with an August 2006 photo and autograph-signing event at the Colorado Mills mall skate park. He was acquitted of one count.
Prosecutors contended Margera grabbed the breasts and buttocks of two 12-year-old girls and one 14-year-old girl.
When the verdict was announced, Margera, 51, fell to the floor, saying: "Just kill me now. I can't spend my (expletive) life in prison. I didn't do anything."
Margera flailed on the floor, saying he couldn't breathe. Pamela Mackey, his attorney, asked the deputies trying to calm him not to hurt his arm.
Deputies raced to the scene with a wheelchair and defibrillator, but neither was used.
Jefferson County District Judge M.J. Menendez stood to read the last verdict and to poll the jury members so they could be escorted out quickly.
About eight Jefferson County deputies restrained Margera, a large man, and carried him out a side door to jail.
Margera faces a sentence of two to six years in prison on each count, as well as probation for 10 years to life. He must register as a sex offender, and if he doesn't comply with sex-offender treatment, that would be a violation of probation and he could go to back to jail.
Sentencing is set for Dec. 20.
Mackey refused to comment.
Jefferson County District Attorney Scott Storey said, "It's definitely a serious verdict.
"Not knowing him, I don't know if that's typical," said Storey, referring to Margera's reaction in the courtroom.
Storey said prosecutors "couldn't prove one count beyond a reasonable doubt" but that on the other two counts, "the evidence was strong."
Prosecutors described Margera as an offensive "man out of control" at the skate-park appearance.
Mackey had told the jury that Margera was portraying his "goofy, outrageous and vulgar" Don Vito character. "That's what got the laughs," Mackey said. "It was entertainment."
On Dec. 10, Margera will appear in court to enter pleas on 12 felony counts of violating bail-bond conditions, which included checking in by telephone twice a week, random urinalysis, no contact with children younger than 18 and no drugs or alcohol.

- Release date

The ZIP archive contains a collection of mails from the Wikipediametric mailing list. It allegedly deals with stalking of Wikipedia editor Russavia and others, cabal tactics and general harassment of editors.
The discussion on the Arbitration Committee board has been archived by now, but can still be found in the ArbCom board history[1].

1) The emails contained in the email have not yet been released on or offline...not to the public anyway.
2) The file is important as it contains private correspondence that would otherwise be unavailable.
3) The likely audience is anyone who is interested in the inner workings of Wikipedia
4) I guess one could contact http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Alex_Bakharev
5) It was leaked due to a suspected campaign of stalking and harrassment against many wikipedia editors by a small but well organised group of editors, and it would appear that one of the group members began to disagree with the groups tactics. The group members officially stated that there is no "whistleblower" and that they were hacked, and some of the emails faked. No evidence was presented to confirm or deny either of thoe theories.6) Email archive is here:

I have a confession to make: I'm kind of a film festival newbie. As such, I've spent most of my time at the few festivals I've been to almost exclusively watching their feature film programming whilst completely neglecting the short films. Not that I have anything against shorts, I love them, in fact, it was just that in my noob brain the equation was: Me + Finally at a Film Festival = Watch Feature Films Like They're Going Out of Style. I recently realized how stupid that equation is.
Over the summer I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to lend a hand to the Fantastic Fest programmers in going through the legion of short films that were submitted to the fest. Around the second time I finished watching a submission and thought, "Those 14 minutes were better than half of the theatrical films I've seen this year", I realized just how neglectful I had been. Needless to say, it was an eye-opening experience and I can absolutely attest that the slate of short films selected for this year's FF are phenomenal.
In true FF fashion, the selected films range from shocking to weird to hilarious to 'what in God's name am I watching?'. And while there are recognizable filmmakers among the names below, like make-up effects maestro Greg Nictorero and animation genius Don Hertzfeldt, the best part of the shorts slate will of course be discovering new filmmakers for the first time.
Over 40 Genre-Bending Shorts From Across The Globe
Set To Premiere At This Year's Festival
Austin, TX---Friday, September 3, 2010---Fantastic Fest announces the full short films lineup, including over 40 genre-bending selections from around the world.

Alabama's thrilling win over Virginia Tech in the Georgia Dome made a huge statement to the college football world with millions of viewers watching from around the country. Among those viewers on Saturday was Crimson Tide running back commit Corey Grant, who came away very impressed with the Tide's effort against the Hokies."I saw most of the game and I was definitely impressed," said Grant. "I thought they looked as good as any team in the country last weekend."The 5-foot-10, 186-pound Grant makes plays in a variety of ways for Opelika High School, leading his team to a blowout win last week with three touchdowns and over 100 yards of offense. The versatile athlete said he was pleased to see Alabama branching out with its offense, in particular its use of the Wildcat formation."It was exciting to see them trying new things on offense and mixing it up a little. When they were recruiting me, the coaches told me they had planned to start opening things up and using their athletes in different ways so this game showed me they weren't joking around."While Grant has not yet scheduled an official visit to Tuscaloosa for this fall, the nation's No. 10 running back prospect said he will almost certainly make it to Bryant-Denny Stadium for at least one home game this season."The atmosphere seemed just crazy on TV. The Alabama fans were going crazy. I am really looking forward to getting to play in front of fans like that. I don't have it planned just yet but I'm sure I will make it to a couple of games in Tuscaloosa this year."Meanwhile, Grant and his Opelika teammates have looked dominant in their first two games of the season and look to be headed towards a potentially memorable season."We're doing pretty good so far. We seem to be starting slow in our games before we can put it all together on offense but I think we'll figure out how to get things going a little faster as the season goes on. I've been pretty happy with my own performance so far but there are definitely certain areas I need to improve on.""Once the season is done I'm going to focus on working out and keeping my grades up. I feel so blessed to be in a position to play football at the next level and I want to make sure that I do everything I need to do to make the most of that opportunity."Grant boasts a 4.4 forty, a 290-pound bench press and a 460-pound squat. As a junior, Grant accounted for 17 touchdowns with 674 yards rushing and 328 yards receiving. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

In my capacity as Chairman of the Sir Keith Park Memorial Campaign I sent a letter of condolence to the people of Christchuch, New Zealand in the wake of the tragedy they have suffered as a result of the earthquake that hit yesterday. Many readers of my blog have been supporters of the campaign so I wanted to share my letter to His Excellency Mr Derek Leask, the High Commissioner for New Zealand in London:
Your Excellency,
In keeping with my close association with that great New Zealander, Air Chief Marshal Sir Keith Park, it is with great sadness that I write to you to express my own condolences and those of my colleagues at this most difficult and dark time for New Zealand.
The large casualty list and the extensive damage suffered by Christchurch and its people have profoundly shocked everyone here in the United Kingdom.
Earthquakes are often dramatic events, but to have one occur in the midst of a busy city in the middle of the day is doubly catastrophic. To me one of the most dramatic pictures is of that symbol of faith and continuity, the 130 year old cathedral, minus its spire.
Many people here will have friends and relatives in New Zealand, which will make the tragedy even more poignant. Yet in their hearts they know that the people of Christchurch and the authorities there will shoulder their tragic losses and remake and rebuild their city in the true manner of New Zealanders in adversity.
In that vein may I send my utmost support to the rescue teams, the fire fighters, the medical services, and indeed everyone else as they cope with the aftermath and the aftershocks. I am glad to read too that a 62 man search and rescue team from this country is already on its way out there to assist where they can.
Your Excellency, I am once again deeply shocked and touched by another environmental tragedy in New Zealand. It has been made worse by the fact that there was an earlier quake last September. I would therefore be grateful if you would convey my condolences and heartfelt thoughts to the Prime Minister of New Zealand, the Mayor of Christchurch and the people of that city.
Yours sincerely,
Terry Smith
Chairman, the Sir Keith Park Memorial Campaign

Tang Question
Just added two new fish to my 56 gallon corner acquarium. (tank #3 for those of you following); got two small Yellow eye kole tangs last night. So far so good. Only fish in tank with a few hermit crabs, two sand sifting starfish, 3 nessarius snails and an emrald crab so far. Interested in what other compatible fish could be added to this tank. Thinking of a small pgmy angel next or smaller juvenille angel (which would be transfered to larger tank in about 10months when move bases)
Currently have two 1.5" hippo tangs in my 80+gal tank #1 in my family room. They are doing well so far with their established neighbors which include my PAsfur Angel and marron clownfish along with the same invertabrate mix as tank #3 above. Any new ideas of additions that will play well?
Tank #2 is my 55 gal and is full..no more room for anybody else IMHO as it contains a Blue Angel, a med yellow tang, 1 foxface, 1 coral beauty, a perculla clown, a clarki clown and 3 small damsels. Also assorted invertabrate mix sifting sand and doing cleanup duty. Not planning on adding anybody else to this tank. In fact am considering moving 1 or two of them to the other two tanks to space somethings out. But not sure what the compatibility issues would be here either.
Anyway would like to know thoughts and suggestions from others out there in the forum.
PS. As for plans...will be moving bases in 10 months and acquiring a 120-180gal tank which will them become the basis of probably combining 2 of the above tanks and their inhabitants at that time...so yes more real estate is planned for my setup.
I would suggest moving the Foxface from #2 into tank #1. At this point tank #1 is getting pretty full, but you would probably have room for some smaller fish, such as anthias, flasher wrasse, or a Hawkfish.
Tank # 3 can probably have almost any species of reef compatable fish. I would, however, personally avoid adding any species of Centropyge angelfish in a 54 gallon reef which is already stocked with 2 Tangs. You risk some aggression.
Rob, military man? Man, I trip out when I talk to aquarists who are also active military stationed at bases. Every so often it's break down the tanks and lug 'em and set 'em up again..lol
I suspose ur use to it. What branch, BTW? (I'm not military, but just curious what branch)
Tank #3 (56 gal corner) is still too new I think to add much more. I just lost one of my yellow eye Kole tangs this AM as did the false lemon peel angel. Am checking the water but I think its probably "new tank syndrome" since the tank was set up 18 July 2009 and still is under 4 weeks old. I think it needs another water change and an additional 2-3 weeks before adding the emporor angel you suggest! :) The crabs and snails and starfish are fine though.
I definitely can, and do want to help you with that. I'm gonna have quite a few questions. The first initial questions are these:
1.) is the AF paying for your move (I'm speculating they are)?
2.) If they are, is there a certain budget that they're giving you, or do they just reimburse an invoice of some sort, that you would submit after your move?

People have come from here and there, [and they] don't know what they're talking about. People I haven't seen in 20 years ... Here they come, [they] think they know everything, but that's not true," she said. "They really chopped on her, chopped on her ... kept, kept, kept."

Mix the garlic, salt, pepper and paprika to a paste. Rub into the chickens thoroughly, inside and out. If possible, season the chickens the day before they are to be used. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan or casserole. Add the onions and saute for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the onions and set aside. Add the chickens and brown well on all sides. Return the onions to the saucepan. Add the bay leaf and white wine. Cover and cook over low heat for 1 hour. Add small additional amounts of water if needed. Add the potatoes and stir gently. Cover and cook over low heat for 20 minutes. Correct seasoning. Add the peas, olives, and pimentos and cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Note: The flavour will be greatly improved if the stew is prepared early in the day and reheated before serving.
