Are you try to the use the Bose device via AirPlay?
Via Bluetooth?
Did y do anthing to the iPod since it last work with the device?

in response to lllaass
I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "AirPlay." I was synced to the Bose Soundlink II via Bluetooth. I am still synced to the Bose with my Samsung 4G phone (for Pandora), and that works fine. I didn't do anything different with the iPod, it just stopped syncing. I will probably end up going into either the Apple or Bose store at the Mall. Just thought I would take a chance to avoid the trip.

For Bluetooth it is called pairing, not syncing.
Try resetting the Bose device again and als on the iPod go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to re-pair to the Bose device and reenter wifi passwords.

Skip to comments.Sandra Bernhard: Palin Would Be Gang-Raped By Blacks in Manhattan
Posted on 09/19/2008 6:17:26 AM PDT by chessplayer
The Washington Post isnt the only daily D.C. newspaper to rave about Sandra Bernhards anti-Palin ranting. Wednesdays Washington Examiner joined in, with the headline "Comedienne delivers enraged optimism." Barbara Mackay claimed "in the end, oddly and subtly, Bernhards message is positive."
Thats not the impression youd get from the blog of Theater J, where Bernhard is appearing. It has video of Bernhard calling Palin "Uncle Women," a "turncoat bh" and a "whore." One complaint on the blog that Bernhard crosses a line of political incorrectness draws a defense from Ari Roth of Theater J that really drops the curtain on how coarse this show is:
In fact, the play wears its politically VERY correct heart on its sleeve with its indictment of America as "A Mans World, Its a White Mans World, Its a Fked Up White Mans Racist World" and can only be suggested to be racist in its content if one is hell-bent on protecting White Folk for Sandras blistering indictment.When Sandra warns Sarah Palin not to come into Manhattan lest she get gang-raped by some of Sandras big black brothers, shes being provocative, combative, humorous, and yes, lets allow, disgusting.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
Bernhard...another out of control ugly.
All of that hate coming from a "peace lover". These crazy, artsy, lesbian women have no shame. Nor do crazy, artsy leftist men.
More liberal projections.
Ugly and Bitter, that's a combination for a happy healthy mentally stable human being.... /s
I think we're giving these mutant retards much more attention than they deserve.
Why is what she said not illegal?
Can she be prosecuted for talk like this?
Somewhat overlooked is her liberal stereotyping of her "big black brothers". And who still votes liberal?
Do you mean more exposure than they deserve?
Seriously, getting this stuff out before the public is the best way to defeat them.
To defeat the left,
expose the left.
No way do decent people support this kind of garbage, nor do they want to be associated with it. And people all have the same basic knowledge of what is right and what is wrong.
We need the video. It would play really well in the heartland.
"Listen to this Obama supporter. "
You are spot-on!
But that's okay Bernhard, you keep it up.
The more you and your ilk in the MSM and DNC try to either smear, besmirch, or twist Sarah Palin's words and experience, the more people all over the country will be drawn to her.
It's because of something the left and the elite cannot comprehend and are blind to.
Sarah connects with everyday people. She is a mother who wanted to make a difference in her community and joined the PTA and it went from there. She didn't need an ivy league degree in Political Science, she didn't need a law degree, she didnt need rich connections, she just needed honesty, integrity, her faith, and a desire to serve.
She didn't seek wealth, power, or high position...it just happened and that connects with most Americans of all stripes (outside of the leftists and elitists whom she threatens) who in their hearts want to try and help their communities and improve things for their kids.
As a result, Sarah Palin is shaking the Democratic leftist-liberal house to its foundation, and bringing it down. She and her family, their faith, their values, and their story represent the absolute refutation of all the tired old liberal mantras and victimology that they malignantly use to mentally, pshycologically, and financially enslave whole classes of people.
From women's rights, to family values, to gun rights, to abortion, to energy policy, to taxation, to envrionmentalism, and on and on...she is a wrecking ball to the leftist, liberal, socialist house.
FWIW, it is just wishful thinking, but I really, REALLY would love it if Mac and Sarah went to that rally in NYC just as ordinary participants. That would really show a lot of spine. Of course, the campaign wouldn't want it and the USSS would have kittens, but a boy can dream, can't he?
If there's one good thing that will come out of all this, it is that these extremists will have made all these outrageous statements which will never go away.
And yes. I never get tired of that clip.
To me, this sounds like a terroristic threat and this pig should at a minimum be interviewed by the Secret Service.
All of these non-entities are coming out of the woodwork to recapture their flagging fame. The more outrageous the statement, the more publicity.
I saw that too! But, she isn't being racist or bigoted or anything. Can you imagine if someone said something like that about Michelle?
Bill of Rights
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. .........
Sandra is such a racist. She is indicating that being gang raped by blacks is somehow worse than being gang raped by whites.
I love how the liberals are becoming so blatantly obvious with what they define as women: fugly lesbians and wrinkled, old libbers. That's all that makes the cut these days. Example, Sandra Blowhard, and Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. They're turning into the gay and lesbian channel, ON PURPOSE. I love it! The more they push, the more they lose what's left of the "normal" part of their base, the people who really do want America to succeed, but are naive in their thinking. The Jewish vote is grossed out, real women are grossed out. It's a gift from God, these people. Let's be grateful.
Holy Smoke, thats so ugly it made my watch stop!
Black people who are Democrats - by definition - cannot be racist. They're protected under the constitution (accroding to the RATS).
Conservative Black people, on the other hand, do not deserve any constitutional rights.
Where's the outrage from the NAGs? Where's the outrage from Reverend Al?
lets allow, disgusting. ...................... Yup, that was always been my opinion, never thought she was funny.
With a mug like that, Sandra probably walks the streets of Manhattan every night hoping...
way too early to be poking at my eyes like that......
yes, that garbage doesn't deserve the light of day on freerepublic.
Sarah Palin is more woman than Sandra Bernhard ever DREAMED of being.
A real woman marries a man and does her best to raise children that are blessings to society. Not all women are called to that or accomplish it, but to not respect it, that is another thing entirely.
I see evil.
forgot sarcasm tag
"When Sandra warns Sarah Palin not to come into Manhattan lest she get gang-raped by some of Sandras big black brothers, shes being provocative, combative, humorous, and yes, lets allow, disgusting."
So she`s saying blacks run around gang raping white women. Only a white liberal can get away with saying something like that. And also be applauded for it.
I cannot even begin to imagine the dark side of this so called human being. To even say such a thing about ANYONE in ANY party, ANY color, ANY race, ANY religion, ANYBODY period is just beyond human comprehension.
This woman is sick. Just plain sick. She is also evil,mean and smart alecky and someone who obviously needs help and a lot of it.
Wow...the ugliness inside one truly DOES manifest itself on the face doesn't it????
Typical classy 'Rat. Hollywood scum, nothing more.
What kind of people are these?
she also knows how to butcher a moose
If there is any sanity left in the O campaign, they must gringe when these "celebrities" come out to spill their venom. More votes for the GOP!
This is a beautiful photo of Sarah and her sweet baby. People like the evil person who said what she said can't begin to imagine the joy and love that this photo emits. You can't have beauty and love and joy and inner peace on the outside when you are so filled with hate, bitterness, anger and ugliness on the inside.
Wonder what her problem is? Obviously she has one and no doubt it goes deep. Hates everyone I would imagine...I pity her and am glad I'm not her.
highly deranged psychotics.
how can this title be allowed
Egads! Not just hit by an ugly stick, but a whole forest of trees whacked her.
She's so ugly, when she walks into a bank, they have to turn off the surveillance cameras.
I'm going to go pepper spray my eyeballs now.

Downsizing may be appealing, but consider these first
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
AbbVie Inc
. (
) reported second quarter 2014 earnings of 82 cents per share,
unchanged from the year-ago earnings but surpassing the Zacks
Consensus Estimate of 76 cents. Revenues increased 5% to $4.926
billion in the second quarter of 2014, surpassing the Zacks
Consensus Estimate of $4.671 billion. Results were boosted by
Humira's strong performance.
Including one-time items, second quarter 2014 earnings came in
at 68 cents per share, up 3%.
Abbvie Inc - Earnings Surprise |
Humira Remains the Growth Driver
Key drug Humira recorded growth of 26.2% with revenues coming in
at $3.288 billion. U.S. sales increased 35.6% ($1.661 billion).
Ex-U.S. sales increased 17.8% to $1.627 billion. Factors like
continued market expansion, share gains, and particularly strong
growth in gastroenterology drove Humira's sales in the U.S. Humira
is expected to exhibit high-teens growth in the U.S. in the third
Ex-U.S. sales of Humira were driven by new indications, share
gains and double-digit market growth in most key countries. The
timing of international shipments also helped sales. Low
double-digit growth is expected in the third quarter in ex-U.S.
markets driven by strong underlying trends that will be partially
offset by the timing of shipments. Overall, Humira sales are
expected to grow in double-digits this year.
Other products that performed well include Synthroid (up 8.7% to
$166 million), Creon (up 4.1% to $110 million), Sevoflurane (up
12.6% to $154 million) and Duodopa (up 29.3% to $56 million).
TriCor/TriLipix revenues fell 84.4% to $17 million. Niaspan
sales declined 90.9% to $21 million.
AbbVie said that adjusted SG&A was 27.1% of sales in the
second quarter -- this reflects the company's investment in its
growth brands as well as preparations for the potential launch of
its hepatitis C virus (HCV) combination therapy. While SG&A
spend is expected to increase modestly on a sequential basis in the
third quarter, the sequential increase in fourth quarter SG&A
spend will be more meaningful due to the potential HCV product
AbbVie is currently seeking U.S. and EU approval for its HCV
treatment. Approval would allow the company to launch the product
in the U.S. later this year and the EU early next year.
Adjusted R&D was 16.1% of second quarter 2014 sales,
reflecting the company's investment in its mid- and late-stage
pipeline as well as its efforts to expand Humira's label.
AbbVie's pipeline represents significant potential -- the
company's late-stage pipeline includes several compounds or
indications in phase III development targeting therapeutic areas
like HCV, immunology and endometriosis.
Meanwhile, AbbVie, which has been looking to acquire Shire (
) for a while now, finally convinced Shire to accept its proposal
late last week. The deal makes AbbVie the latest to join a string
of U.S. health care companies that have been looking towards
overseas acquisitions to lower their tax rates.
Guidance Maintained
AbbVie continues to expect 2014 earnings in the range of $3.06
to $3.16 per share. The guidance does not include the impact of the
potential launch of the HCV therapy in the U.S. as well as the
upcoming Shire acquisition. The Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.15
is towards the higher end of the guidance range.
Third quarter earnings are expected in the range of 77 cents to
79 cents per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is 77 cents.
Our Take
AbbVie's second quarter results were strong with the company
beating on the top-and bottom-line thanks to strong Humira sales.
We are positive on AbbVie's decision to acquire Shire. AbbVie will
not just lower its taxes through this acquisition; it will also
boost its product portfolio significantly especially for rare
diseases. This acquisition is very important for the company, which
was mainly dependent on Humira for growth.
While additional details regarding the acquisition will be
available this fall, AbbVie expects the deal to boost earnings in
the first year following completion - the figure will cross $1.00
per share by 2020.
Meanwhile, the launch of the HCV combination therapy,
potentially later this year, would be a major boost for the
company. The company has presented impressive data on the candidate
- the high rates of response and tolerability coupled with low
discontinuation rates are encouraging.
AbbVie carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Some better-ranked stocks
in the health care sector include Allergan (
) and Biogen (
). Both are Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks.

Dear American Airlines
Dear American Airlines
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Hardcover, 9780547054018, 192pp.
Publication Date: April 1, 2008
Bennie Ford, a fifty-three-year-old failed poet turned translator, is traveling to his estranged daughter's wedding when his flight is canceled. Stuck with thousands of fuming passengers in the purgatory of O Hare airport, he watches the clock tick and realizes that he will miss the ceremony. Frustrated, irate, and helpless, Bennie does the only thing he can: he starts to write a letter. But what begins as a hilariously excoriating demand for a refund soon becomes a lament for a life gone awry, for years misspent, talent wasted, and happiness lost. A man both sinned against and sinning, Bennie writes in a voice that is a marvel of lacerating wit, heart-on-sleeve emotion, and wide-ranging erudition, underlined by a consistent groundnote of regret for the actions of a lifetime -- and made all the more urgent by the fading hope that if he can just make it to the wedding, he might have a chance to do something right.
A margarita blend of outrage, wicked humor, vulnerability, intelligence, and regret, Dear American Airlines gives new meaning to the term airport novel and announces the emergence of major new talent in American fiction.
JONATHAN MILES is the cocktails columnist for the New York Times. His journalism, essays, and literary criticism have appeared in many publications, including the New York Times Book Review, GQ, the New York Observer, and the Oxford American. A former longtime resident of Oxford, Mississippi, he lives in New York.
"[Dear American Airlines] a heartfelt exploration of one man's psychic deterioration and the slim reed of hope to which, miraculously, he still clings...Miles has created a human being adrift, like all of us, in circumstances mostly not of his making and with no other choice but to try to muddle through."
-- David Ulin, Los Angeles Times
Dear American Airlines, Jonathan Miles'' debut novel,begins as a scathing letter of complaint from a stranded traveler en route to his estranged daughter''s wedding but quickly evolves in to a personal and surprisingly astute rant about life''s challenges.

College Basketball Bubble Watch
Not all bubble teams are created equal
Editor's note: This file has been updated to include all games through Thursday, Feb. 27.
Every team with work to do is equal, but some are more equal than others.
We're closing in on the end of the regular season -- and we're 16 days away from Selection Sunday, if you can believe it -- and with that proximity comes a more tightly wound bubble dynamic. Big wins and losses feel like do-or-die affairs. Narrow résumé differences receive close scrutiny. Nits are more readily picked.
So here's what happens: A loyal reader navigates to the Bubble Watch page to get a feel for the scene. (And the Watch thanks you for your support.) Oh, but what's this? Their favorite team is listed as having "work to do"? But their team would be in the bracket if it was built today! Joe Lunardi says their team is a No. 9 seed! Why are they on equal footing with the "next four out" -- teams barely even on the bubble in the first place?! This is how angry emails are born.
Thing is, there are different types of "work to do" teams, because there are different types of work to be done. Two, to be exact.
The first is maintenance: Teams who would be in the tournament if it were selected and seeded right now, but who have to avoid bad losses in their remaining handful of games to feel safe on Selection Sunday. The second is advancement: Teams who wouldn't be in the tournament, or risk leaving themselves at the subjective whims of the committee, if they don't move the needle in a positive direction before Selection Sunday.
Pittsburgh is a good example of the former. The Panthers have a decent résumé lacking in big wins, with a lot of narrow misses against good teams, games the committee will likely have seen. They'll probably get in the tournament. But if they lost their last three games (at Notre Dame, versus NC State, and at Clemson) and suffered a bad loss in the ACC tournament, they might be in serious trouble.
Arkansas is a good example of the latter. The Razorbacks began Thursday outside our bubble radar, but their huge OT win at Kentucky put their résumé on a par with much of the bubble, leapfrogging a handful of fringe teams in the process. Now they have to maintain that upward trajectory -- and hope for the best.
The key thing to remember -- and hopefully this helps avoid some of the confusion going forward -- is that there is nuance within each Bubble Watch category. Some locks are No. 1 seeds and some are No. 4s (or lower). Some "work to dos" merely need to avoid collapse, and some need to make a move.
The good news is that each task, though different in its particulars, can be boiled down to one simple act: Win.
Note: All RPI data via ESPN RPI is updated through Feb. 27.
|American Athletic Conference
|Teams that should be in: Connecticut, SMU, Memphis
A big part of the American's top-half stratification this season -- and seriously, when was the last time a league was so drastically split between its top and bottom halves? -- has to do with the uncharacteristic down season happening at Temple. On Thursday night, the Owls were drilled at Louisville, their 20th loss this season, the first time Temple has ever lost 20 games. Oof.
Connecticut [22-6 (10-5), RPI: 29, SOS: 81] Thanks to an all-court performance from Shabazz Napier and an 18-0 second-half run, Connecticut avoided a sketchy loss at USF, 61-56, Wednesday night. They're not far from lockdom, but their profile isn't exactly the most lights-out you'll see among possible lock candidates, either, especially considering two of its three best wins came against Memphis. We're going to wait until this weekend -- when Cincinnati comes to town -- before we make a lock official.
SMU [22-6 (11-4), RPI: 36, SOS: 154] The Mustangs leapt to a No. 7 seed in Joe Lunardi's Bracketology update, which, with all due respect, feels a tad bit high. Their schedule numbers are a little bit scary; the fact that they've played 17 of their 28 games against sub-150 competition is a testament to a horrible nonconference slate and the American's bottom half. But the Watch moved them up to "should be in" Tuesday for good reason: If they dust off UCF at home Saturday, they have a chance to forget about the bubble and think about how much a home win over Louisville on March 5 might improve their seed.
Memphis [21-7 (10-5), RPI: 39, SOS: 87] On Tuesday, we called Memphis' three-game run against Rutgers, Temple and Houston a "do-no-harm" barnstorm. On Thursday night, it did some harm. The Tigers' 77-68 loss at Houston is hardly going to put them out of the tournament field -- UConn lost at Houston too, after all -- but it does make us hold off on a lock in advance of all-upside games against Louisville (Saturday), Cincinnati (March 6) and SMU (March 8).
|Atlantic 10 Conference
|Teams that should be in: VCU, George Washington
Work left to do: Saint Joseph's, Richmond, Dayton
Now that UMass has managed to handle Rhode Island -- barely, but still -- we can officially welcome the Minutemen to lockdom. To some extent, we've taken coach Derek Kellogg's team for granted this season, mostly because UMass has maintained a steady, impressive, but understated equilibrium throughout the season. The resume is a little bit like that, too. The Minutemen don't have that one huge win that makes you sit up and take notice. But they have a solid collection of six top-50 victories (and just one top-50 loss), they've played just seven sub-150 opponents in 27 games, they have a top-15 RPI and a top-35 nonconference schedule, and on and on. They're a lock. And when you consider where UMass was just a couple of years ago, you realize how shortsighted it would be to take that achievement for granted.
VCU [21-7 (9-4), RPI: 22, SOS: 55] On Thursday, Saint Louis' school-record run of 19 straight wins came to an end in the most unlikely fashion: at home, having allowed 1.08 points per possession to ... wait for it ... Duquesne! Sub-200 RPI, three-A-10-wins Duquesne? True story. How this affects Saturday's Saint Louis-VCU game remains unclear -- there will probably be narrative grist (bounce-back! late-season slide!) either way -- but it doesn't change the fact that VCU has a chance to lock up an already relatively safe spot with a win.
George Washington [20-7 (8-5), RPI: 27, SOS: 73] George Washington joins the Rams in "should be in" territory this week, and for good reason: The teams' profiles are eerily similar. They have similar records, and each has a high-quality nonconference win (VCU at Virginia, GW over Creighton on a neutral court). They've split their head-to-head meetings. Yes, VCU has slightly better schedule numbers on its side, but the difference is at least partially negated by the Rams' loss at Northern Iowa. Barring major turns, both teams will be seeded similarly come March 16.
Saint Joseph's [20-7 (10-3), RPI: 34, SOS: 66] Saint Joe's pounded Dayton by 26 on Tuesday. It was the Hawks' fifth straight win in the past three weeks; they haven't lost since Saint Louis ground them into 49-point dust at home on Feb. 5. Unfortunately, a couple of those wins came against Fordham and Rhode Island (and even La Salle isn't much help), but even so, the end result is a team that at the very least is on the right side of the bubble for now, if tenuously so.
Richmond [18-10 (8-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 59] On Tuesday, somewhere in our fond reflections of flawed action-adventure game "L.A. Noire," we reminded our fellow Watchers how adamant the selection committee seems to be about the eye test. Perhaps Richmond can benefit: Any cursory corneal glance will show that George Mason -- which beat the Spiders 69-60 in Fairfax, Va., on Wednesday night -- has played just about every conference opponent close in wins and losses (usually losses). George Mason went to overtime against SLU <i>twice</i>. That might be the most encouraging thing we can think of to say about Richmond's week, ahead of a possibly resume-killing trip to Rhode Island on Saturday.
Dayton [19-9 (7-6), RPI: 55, SOS: 62] On Tuesday, we wrote that Dayton's visit to Saint Joseph's was bigger for the Flyers than for the home team. They didn't play like it. This is the definition of a stretch bubble team, one that desperately has to make something of Saturday's visit to UMass, and maybe even next week's trip to Saint Louis, to make a move.
|Atlantic Coast Conference
|Work left to do: Pittsburgh, Florida State
From a totally neutral standpoint, the Watch thinks it speaks for most of America when it says it would love to see T.J. Warren in the NCAA tournament. Warren is a thrilling scorer -- versatile, efficient, high-volume, relentless. He could light up March in a way few in the country could. The problem, of course, is that his team's resume is bad, and the Pack keeps losing games it needs to win. Last week, it was the one-point loss at Syracuse. On Wednesday night, it was every NC State fan's cold-sweat nightmare, a one-point OT home loss to North Carolina. Warren had 36 points on 25 shots and NC State still ended the night 0-8 against the RPI top 50. Brutal.
Pittsburgh [21-7 (9-6), RPI: 45, SOS: 79] It's a strange feeling, watching a good Pittsburgh team desperately try to avoid slipping into genuinely threatened bubble territory (which they did at Boston College in a 66-59 win on Wednesday). To some extent, it makes sense: The Panthers have had copious opportunities to win marquee games, but they've come up just short time and again. Losses are losses as far as the committee is concerned. The reason it's weird, though, is because Pitt might not be in this dilemma if it had given itself more opportunities during nonconference play. Or, at the very least, if it hadn't scheduled quite so many RPI-draining guarantee teams, including Savannah State (299) and Howard (341). For years, Jamie Dixon has been one of the nation's savviest nonconference schedulers, deftly gaming the RPI in his team's favor. Not so this season.
Florida State [16-11 (7-8), RPI: 54, SOS: 33] FSU's win at Pitt on Sunday gave it a second chance at the bubble, and if anything, the Seminoles' stock has improved this week despite not playing a game. How? Bubble teams around them -- Missouri, Nebraska, Richmond, Tennessee -- keep losing. Hey, whatever it takes. Next up is Georgia Tech (a good defensive rebounding team, and thus a tough matchup for FSU), a road trip to Boston College, and a season-closer at home against Syracuse. This one will be close.
|Big 12 Conference
|Teams that should be in: Kansas State
Work left to do: Baylor, Oklahoma State
On Saturday, the Red River Shootout (basketball edition!) will commence in Norman, Okla. Fortunately, rivalry games between UT and OU need no added stakes, because win or lose, Texas and Oklahoma are both going to the NCAA tournament. There was some temptation to wait, but why? Both team's profiles are characterized by strong computer numbers and a plethora of top-50 wins; both are in the No. 6/No.7 seed range right now. Texas has a win at UNC and no sub-50 losses; Oklahoma has a better nonconference (and overall) schedule numbers and only one sub-100 loss, to Texas Tech. Both teams still have to play TCU before the end of the season, and both will probably crush TCU, but in the unlikely event that either team loses, come on: they're still going to the tournament. Lock 'em.
Kansas State [19-9 (9-6), RPI: 37, SOS: 50] K-State narrowly avoided a loss at Texas Tech on Tuesday night, which is good, because the Wildcats aren't quite as much of a guarantee as the Sooners and Longhorns. Early nonconference losses to Northern Colorado and Charlotte are the primary causes for concern here. If K-State were to by some fluke go 0-3 the rest of the way -- against Iowa State, Oklahoma State (away), and Baylor -- it would finish the regular season 19-12 and 9-9 in the Big 12 with good-but-not-great computer numbers and a home win over Kansas. The Wildcats are relatively safe, but we'll hold off on a lock for a few more days.
Baylor [18-10 (6-9), RPI: 40, SOS: 9] The Bears' loss at Texas on Wednesday doesn't hurt their bid as much as a win might have helped. At this point, the toughest section of their resume to swallow is their 6-9 conference record. The tournament selection committee insists that conference record isn't a deciding factor, but let's be honest: It's never good to be three games under, either. Even so, as Joe Lunardi explained in his Insider Bracketology supplement this week, a 10-team league with five ostensible bids is bound to have some record wonkiness somewhere along the line, and the rest of the Bears' sheet would seem to place them above the St. John's, Richmonds and Missouris of the world, right?
Oklahoma State [18-10 (6-9), RPI: 46, SOS: 48] Marcus Smart's first two games back from the shove-related suspension went exactly like he and the Cowboys needed them to, which is to say smoothly, which is to say OSU came nowhere close to losing to either Texas Tech or lowly TCU. That not-insignificant task out of the way, Smart and Co. can now turn their attention toward Saturday's titanic host date against Kansas. Once upon a time, Oklahoma State nearly knocked off Kansas in its own building. If it can figure out a way to win on Saturday, it will remind the committee exactly why everybody thought the Cowboys were so good in the first place -- with opportunities against Kansas State and Iowa State still available in the season's final week.
|Big East Conference
|Work left to do: Xavier, Providence, St John's, Georgetown
The Big East has proved one of the most static conferences in all of Bubble-land: After quick locks for Villanova and Creighton, the rest of the league has remained stuck on the bubble, making minor shifts and tweaks, none able to break away. So it is today, even as Xavier searches for separation.
Xavier [19-9 (9-6), RPI: 48, SOS: 90] Xavier may end up being the only team among the Big East work-to-dos to feel even remote confidence come Selection Sunday. The Musketeers' win at St. John's Tuesday certainly helps on that front. Even so, Xavier isn't totally safe, and the Musketeers could do a lot by picking off either Creighton (Saturday) or Villanova (Thursday).
Providence [18-10 (8-7), RPI: 61, SOS: 75] Providence is, like St. John's, as bubbly as one team can be; it has spent the past two weeks being shifted between last four out and first four in, which is a fate you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. The Friars also have a tricky-tough homestretch beginning Friday night at Seton Hall.
St John's [18-11 (8-8), RPI: 62, SOS: 30] Back-to-back losses -- a close one at Villanova and a 12-point home loss to Xavier -- have left St. John's no better off than it was a week ago coming off its sixth straight win. That stretch included a home win over Creighton, one that put the Red Storm back in the mix. With just DePaul and Marquette as their final two regular-season games, they look unlikely to get out of this muddled mix, and decidedly into the field, anytime soon.
Georgetown [16-12 (7-9), RPI: 65, SOS: 26] Georgetown's loss at Marquette on Thursday night wasn't a killer, but it is a setback for a team on the underside of the bubble. The Hoyas still have the most impressive wins among their Big East counterparts, but the committee might look askance at Feb. 1's neutral-court win over Michigan State thanks to the Spartans' injury woes at that point. This is just a weird resume from top to bottom, and not in a good way. Creighton is in town on Tuesday, and boy, is that big.
|Big Ten Conference
|Teams that should be in: Iowa
Work left to do: Minnesota, Nebraska
The Watch has a confession to make: It should have moved Ohio State to lockdom in Tuesday's update. How does it know? Because on Thursday night, the Buckeyes lost 65-63 at Penn State, but when it came time to decide their fate Friday morning, the Watch still couldn't find a good reason OSU wouldn't make the tournament. With top-20 RPI and schedule numbers and just two sub-100 losses (both to Penn State, in fact), it is impossible that Thad Matta's team could lose at Indiana and at home against Michigan State in the next nine days and not be a No. 8 seed at minimum entering the Big Ten tournament. It feels weird to lock up a team after a loss to Penn State, but hey, live and learn.
Iowa [19-9 (8-7), RPI: 41, SOS: 53] Iowa, on the other hand, continues to stubbornly refuse lockdom, mostly because it is playing awful defense: After spending most of the season among the nation's best per-possession defensive teams, the Hawkeyes have dropped to eighth in the Big Ten in points-per-trip allowed. Three straight losses tell the tale. Last week, we were lamenting how underseeded Iowa might end up if it didn't beat Wisconsin at home. Now we're worried that the Hawkeyes could go 0-3 the rest of the way and end up 19-12 overall, 8-10 in the Big Ten, with merely OK RPI and schedule numbers and an albatross of a nonconference schedule. Suddenly, things don't feel so safe.
Minnesota [18-11 (7-9), RPI: 44, SOS: 6] Minnesota's win over Iowa didn't make it a totally safe bet, and it doesn't help that the Hawkeyes' resume undersells how impressive a win over them really is. But the Gophers needed a bounce-back after two straight losses to Illinois and Ohio State, and they got it this week. Next up is Saturday's trip to Michigan, where a road win would genuinely tilt the balance in their favor.
Nebraska [16-11 (8-7), RPI: 50, SOS: 21] On Thursday, an Omaha radio host told the Watch that folks in Nebraska were having a collective "Chicken Little" moment over the Cornhuskers' 11-point road loss at Illinois on Wednesday. It wasn't great, of course, but as most bracket projections held on Thursday, Nebraska was still in roughly the same place it was before: on the bubble, in the game, but still in desperate need of a forward leap. Here's the game plan: First, thank Missouri, Tennessee, St. John's, Georgetown and everyone else for being such forgiving bubble competitors. Next, don't lose at home to Northwestern. In that order.
|Pac-12 Conference
|Teams that should be in: Colorado
Work left to do: Arizona State, Oregon, Stanford, California
On Thursday afternoon, UCLA coach Steve Alford announced that his top two players, guards Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams, would miss Thursday's game as punishment for violating team rules. Despite that massive and sudden lack of production, Oregon needed two overtimes to beat UCLA 87-83 in a strange, interminable affair. How much does that win help Oregon? Your guess is as good as ours.
Colorado [20-8 (9-6), RPI: 26, SOS: 15] Colorado would have been a done deal had it managed to beat Arizona on Saturday. Before the game, its odds looked good: The Wildcats had been struggling through their post-Brandon Ashley adjustment period, after all, and CU hadn't lost a home game (to UCLA, Jan. 16) since just after Spencer Dinwiddie's season-ending ACL tear. Instead, the Wildcats were commanding in a 27-point win, and so the Buffaloes will have to wait for lockdom. The bad news? Their last three Pac-12 games are a brutal stretch: at Utah, at Stanford, at Cal. There is also some concern that the selection committee could devalue the big Dec. 7 Kansas win, which came in large part thanks to Dinwiddie's brilliance. But if CU can handle business on the road at Utah, it is hard to imagine a team with its RPI and SOS numbers not getting into this field in three weeks' time.
Arizona State [20-8 (9-6), RPI: 31, SOS: 43] Wednesday's home win over Stanford was exactly what the Sun Devils needed to shore things up. Right now, most projections have ASU as a No. 9 seed, which is about where Stanford falls as well; let's hold off on any major shifts until we see what happens Saturday at home vs. Cal.
Oregon [19-8 (7-8), RPI: 32, SOS: 35] Under any normal circumstances, beating this year's UCLA team in Pauley Pavilion would go down as a crucial bubble win on a par with Arkansas' victory at Rupp Arena. (Except, you know, with people cheering and stuff.) But with the Bruins' two leading scorers, Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams, both missing, will the committee really see it that way? Isn't it more likely to note that, despite playing against a team lacking its two best and most important players, it still took Dana Altman's team two overtimes to get the job done? The bright side is that Oregon's four straight wins have slowly moved it closer to .500 in Pac-12 play, which would at least earn the Ducks a longer and more considered look come Selection Sunday. But they have to win at USC first.
Stanford [18-9 (9-6), RPI: 43, SOS: 45] Stanford doesn't have much to lose on Sunday at Arizona, save, you know, a basketball game, but before the Wildcats rediscovered their dominant form this week, this rare chance to knock off a marquee opponent on the road probably looked much more doable. Either way, the Cardinal have solid-enough RPI and schedule numbers and solid-enough wins that, barring disaster, they should be fine.
California [18-10 (9-6), RPI: 49, SOS: 49] The Bears were the first team to upend Arizona back on Feb. 1 and the bystanders to Brandon Ashley's season-ending injury. On Wednesday, the Wildcats got their revenge. Arizona's 87-59 win was the second in two resounding offensive performances for Sean Miller's team, but it didn't change Cal's prospectus much. Saturday's trip to Arizona State is far likelier to make an impact.
|Southeastern Conference
|Work left to do: Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas
Hey, maybe an SEC team other than Florida and Kentucky wants to go to the NCAA tournament. Who knew?!
Missouri [19-9 (7-8), RPI: 47, SOS: 77] As you can probably tell from the blurb above, it's become a bit of a running Bubble Watch joke just how much the SEC's bubble teams seem to not want to go to the NCAA tournament, to the point that we're worried our material is starting to get stale. And then Missouri goes and loses two straight games on the road. On Saturday, it was a defensively absent road loss at Alabama. On Tuesday, it was a shockingly cold 56-points-in-65-possessions stinker at Georgia. The Bulldogs aren't terrible, sure, but that is about as bad a bubble week as you can have. The only way it can get worse is if the Tigers somehow find a way to lose to Mississippi State (RPI: 218!) at home on Saturday. Don't put it past them.
Tennessee [17-11 (8-7), RPI: 51, SOS: 14] The Volunteers left Starkville, Miss., with a seven-point win on Wednesday, so they live to fight another maddening day. The biggest problem, as we've written all month, is not just that Tennessee's resume is mediocre -- though, save their top-15 strength of schedule, it is certainly that. The problem is also that, like Missouri, the back half of their schedule has been filled with the dregs of the SEC. There just haven't been any opportunities to move the needle. If anything, it has been all downside. This week is a perfect example: UT will play Vanderbilt at home on Saturday (the same Vanderbilt team that played Florida to a three-point loss on Tuesday), followed by a trip to Auburn on Wednesday.
Arkansas [19-9 (8-7), RPI: 57, SOS: 74] Hey, look who made it back on the page! A warm and full-throated Woo Pig Sooie to the Arkansas Razorbacks, whose 71-67 overtime win at Kentucky on Thursday got them back into the bubble discussion in a major way. The win -- besides just being a huge victory in and of itself, and a regular-season sweep of the Wildcats -- will also provide a nice boost to the Razorbacks' flagging computer numbers. Or, at the very least, a counterpoint to them. With other quality wins: Home against SMU and a neutral-court victory over fellow bubbler Minnesota, Mike Anderson's team has officially made a solid case. Now they need to handle business in their last three vs. Georgia, Ole Miss, and at Alabama.
|Other at-large contenders
|Work left to do: Gonzaga, Southern Mississippi, BYU, Green Bay
Are you of the mind that Wichita State shouldn't be a No. 1 seed, and that Kansas -- with its No. 1-across-the-board RPI and schedule numbers -- should receive that spot instead? For one thing, know that it's not that simple; there are other No. 1 and No. 2 seeds to consider. For another, know that Kansas coach Bill Self himself (sorry) disagrees with you. "They've had an unbelievable year, and I personally believe they deserve a 1-seed if they run the table," Self said Thursday. "Pundits say, 'Well, their schedule' and this and that. Hey, it's hard to win on the road, especially when you're everybody's Super Bowl game. I respect that." That guy just won his 10th straight Big 12 title. Do you really want to argue with him? Meanwhile, the Watch remains ever vigilant in its search for mid-majors to include in this field. That the best and most frequent reader suggestion we received this week was 26-2 Stephen F. Austin -- which has a schedule ranked No. 320, exactly four games played against the RPI top 150, and no win better than against Towson -- should tell you all you need to know about how that search is going.
Gonzaga [24-6 (14-3), RPI: 30, SOS: 108] We can officially halt the Gonzaga Panic Wagon. (Gon-Pangon? Panzagon? Let's workshop this.) On Thursday night, the Zags won at Pacific 70-53, halting the two-game road slide that had thrown their decent-but-not-great resume into sudden peril. A loss in Saturday's rivalry finale at Saint Mary's still could make things shaky, because Gonzaga doesn't have a win better than the Jan. 25 home victory over BYU. But at least it doesn't have that Pacific loss. Phew.
Southern Mississippi [24-5 (11-3), RPI: 33, SOS: 145] Whether a home loss to UTEP would have spelled doom for Southern Miss' long-shot at-large chances is now officially beside the point: The Golden Eagles handled business against the Miners on Feb. 22. It's still hard to figure out how a team whose best (and lone top 50) win came at North Dakota State -- and whose next-best victories are Georgia State, Louisiana Tech, the aforementioned Miners and at DePaul -- can manage to impress the committee before Selection Sunday. After Thursday's ho-hum win over Florida International, Southern Miss' last two regular-season games are at Florida Atlantic and Tulane. But hey, you never know.
BYU [20-10 (12-5), RPI: 35, SOS: 20] The Cougars' win against Gonzaga on Feb. 20 helped right their bubble ship in a serious way, and they followed up two days later with a comfortable win over Portland. With just one WCC game left -- Saturday at San Diego -- the Cougars remain very much on the bubble. But BYU's case will be helped by a pair of wins (at Stanford, vs. Texas on a neutral court) that distinguish it from much of the crowd.
Green Bay [23-5 (13-2), RPI: 56, SOS: 165] The Phoenix's best chance is still winning the Horizon League tournament and its automatic bid. Why? Because while a home win over Virginia is nice, Tennessee has one of those, too, and a much better schedule to boot. (It's not a direct comparison that really matters, but you get the idea.) Thursday's win at Oakland was all about bad-loss avoidance, and so it will be Saturday at Detroit, and there are still no good opportunities to come in the conference tournament, so yeah, it looks bleak.

We are all grateful for the world our predecessors created for Tierra's young adults. The question is… Will the current generation of families rise to the challenge of sustaining Tierra for the future and preserving the State's commitment to everyone's sons, daughters, brothers and sisters with developmental disabilities?
Tierra's parents and families are answering loudly, "YES!" In addition to wide support for Tierra's annual fundraising goals and events such as the Fall Festival and our Golf Tournament, families are also speaking out to our elected leaders, urging them to honor the State's commitment by providing an urgently needed increase in rates of reimbursement for service organizations, including Tierra.
In June, Tierra families met with our local State Senator, Carol Liu. They so impressed her with the urgency of our cause that she promised to take our appeal to Sacramento. The Senator followed through and invited Rebecca Lienhard, CEO, and Steve Miller, former CEO, to meet with her and Senator Jim Beall, who Chairs the Human Services Committee. Senator Beall agreed to hold a hearing in Los Angeles to look into the needs of community service organizations.
On October 9th, the most powerful witnesses at the Hearing were Tierra client, Talleen Zohrabian, and her mother, Armeneh, who ended her testimony with this personal appeal:
"Talleen is young and her future is worth fighting for. … I am here today to help my daughter and all the young people like her say please, please help us get our lives moving again. Please help the organizations that want so badly to serve our children to succeed. I know it must be hard to find money for these programs, but without this support our children will lose their hope and their future."
Now we can all heed this family's call to action. Tierra is participating in a statewide effort to communicate with the Governor. Your letters and phone calls will make the difference. Send your letter today! Stand up for Tierra and all our children.

The Transforming Power of God's StoryOne week after Wendy Blight's college graduation, she walked into her apartment to find a masked man holding a knife and waiting for her at the top of the stairs. The man spent an hour physically and sexually assaulting Wendy, leaving her changed forever. After this terrifying experience, she lived for years cocooned in a prison of fear, despair, and hopelessness. Finally, after years of searching
Making Faith-Filled Choices in the Midst of a Messy LifeIn today's world, it's tough to make everyday decisions, let alone decisions that honor God. Our culture is increasingly driven by selfish desires. However, as Christians, our lives should not be self-centered and static; they should be others-centered and active, making a difference for the Kingdom of God. Living "So That" is a fresh approach to understanding God's Word, focusing on many of the
Discovering Power in the Names of GodIn this five-session Bible study, Wendy Blight implements her practical and approachable style to equip readers to study the Word of God and then apply it to their own lives in practical ways. This study is for any woman who wants to move beyond simply knowing about God to really knowing God in a very personal way. Join Wendy as she teaches how the very names of God reveal His character and heart.
You Are More Than Your Past When God Holds Your FutureIs your life limited by labels the world and other people have used to define you? Labels you have internalized and apply to yourself every day. Labels like Afraid. Or Addict. Orphan. Damaged Goods. Failure. Maybe even Religious. These labels might be sewn into your life with such tight little stitches that they feel like a part of you. They feel like they define you. But that's a lie. If you let
What Happens When Women Say Yes to God
Experiencing Life in Extraordinary WaysTotal obedience to Christ can transform an ordinary life into a remarkable journey. This is the hope found in the liberating message of Lysa TerKeurst—president of Proverbs 31 Ministries. In What Happens When Women Say Yes to God, Lysa shares inspiring stories from her own life along with compelling biblical insights as she describes what it means to partner with God in all decisions and actions.
Making Wise Decisions in the Midst of Endless DemandsAre you living with the stress of an overwhelmed schedule and aching with the sadness of an underwhelmed soul? Lysa TerKeurst is learning that there is a big difference between saying yes to everyone and saying yes to God. In The Best Yes she will help you: Cure the disease to please with a biblical understanding of the command to love. Escape the guilt of disappointing others by learning the
What to Say, How to Say It, and When to Say Nothing at AllKeep It Shut by Karen Ehman explores how to better control your tongue, knowing what to say and how to say it, and realizing when it is best to say nothing at all. From Bible times to modern times women have struggled with their words. What to say and how to say it. What not to say. When it is best to remain silent. And what to do when you've said something you wish you could now take back. In
Learning to Live in the Power of God's PromisesOften the biggest obstacle to living out our faith is our own doubt--about our worth, our abilities, our relationship with God, and situations in our lives. A Confident Heart gives voice to the questions, doubts, struggles, and hopes so many women have. Author Renee Swope shows women how to identify, overcome, and even use doubt in order to live confidently in God's power, truth, and grace.
Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not FoodMade to Crave is the missing link between a woman's desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen. The reality is we were made to crave. Craving isn't a bad thing. But we must realize God created us to crave more of him. Many of us have misplaced that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures instead of lasting spiritual satisfaction. If you are struggling
What Happens When Women Walk in Faith
Trusting God Takes You to Amazing PlacesLysaTerKeurst knows what it means to walk in faith, starting from the cry she uttered years ago, ""How do I take my broken life and allow God to use it for His glory,""to her current positionas president of Proverbs 31 Ministry. Walking in Faith will change the way the reader...recognizes God's opportunities for growthhears God speak through His Wordunderstands herself as a unique creation of her
Making Wise Decisions in the Midst of Endless DemandsDo you find yourself spending a lot of time figuring out when to say yes and when to say no, thinking about how to manage your time, reduce stress, do your best for your family, find a little time for yourself? Lysa TerKeurst found herself in that same situation until she learned the power of "the best yes", the choice that shapes all of our other choices. In this six-session study, Lysa uses

The textures in regards to lighting reflections off of the guns is horrendous....it's like your in a permanent shadow the entire game. Your guns are always "black" and when you try to put yourself in bright light the guns look ridiculously blurry.
The character models looks fantastic, yeah, but everything else and I sh** you not, EVERYTHING is flat texture. I played through Chris's campaign and looked at a sink to see the plates AND the water completely flat textured. It was both hilarious and sad.

Hollywood Foto-Rhetoric: The Lost Manuscript
The portrait of a very young Bob Dylan on the cover of The Times They Are a Changin is probably one of the most recognizable and famous album covers of all time. Photographer Barry Feinstein took that photo, as well as many more of Dylan throughout his career. His images have been published throughout the world many times over, and have become synonymous with our perceptions of that place and time in rock and folk music history.
Inspired by a series of photographs that Feinstein took in Hollywood during the 1950s and 60s, Bob Dylan wrote an extraordinary series of poems that have remained unpublished for decades. They are thought-provoking, witty and erudite observations of the world; through the lens of Feinstein's photographs, they speak volumes about the anonymous faces and places of Los Angeles, and offer wry commentary on images of stars and legends in the neighbourhood at the time. Photos of Frank Sinatra, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland float through the book, as do poignant images of starlets, casting couches, employment agencies and palm tree'd boulevards. Feinstein was there with a camera to capture some world-famous events, such as Marilyn Monroe's memorial service, and he photographed the forgettable moments, preserving them perfectly and timelessly. Bob Dylan's unsettling and distinctly unique perspective informs and enlivens every page, an irresistible interpretive voice narrating the visual images from photo to photo.

And the NPC's! There's nearly 7 BILLION. The game keeps making more.Sometimes there's a huge fucking glitch in the game and massive amounts of NPC's start to fuck with each other. It's always been there in varying amounts. Could be petty theft, could be genocide. You might be near some. You might want to get the fuck away from that. You might want to stay. Depends on your starting roll I guess. Good luck with that. Anyway, you'll meet a lot of NPC's. Some you'll like and care about, some..... not. It's a varied experience, just be careful how you treat them, they all have varying levels of memory.

Hello everyone. I go to these boards often in search of help and advice. Or just some encouraging words.
Been TTC for 1.5 years. I'm in my late 30's and have fertility issues. I've taken my health in my own hands after 7 years of trying to get answers from traditional doctors of why I have such regularly irregular periods (I always get 2 a month around the same time, more or less).
To make a long story short, I've started taking Vitex and Maca root to help with my very short 6 day luteal phase. I've been on it for almost 2 weeks now. I used a opk and ovulated on the 5th of July. Normally my period arrives 5 or 6 days later, followed by a second period a week later. Its now the 17th and still no period. I've taken 6 HPT all negative.
I've spent hours and hours researching if these supplements can delay your period so quickly but I can't find any real answers. I've also recently lost 22lbs eating a high soy diet (may have something to do with delayed period as well) and had an HSG test performed in May. All of these factors make me wonder...am I prego, is it the diet, is it the supplements??!!!
I've been cramping for 2 days but no sore breasts. I feel like AF may come any minute then I feel like it won't. I feel like I'm losing my mind! With the amount of reading I've done over the past few days, a home test should be definitive by at least the 21st of this month. Thats a good 16 days from possible conseption. I will be devistated, of course, if its negative (I cry with each negative test) but will be relived that this guessing game is over.
If I'm not prego, then the Vitex is working to make my luteal phase longer, which is awesome. With only taking it for 2 weeks and the the fact that it may be already working is quite amazing (took it for 4 days before ovulation).
I'll be sure to update since I've spent hours and hours reading others experiences and if anyone else is going through this, then they might appreciate additional info.
Much love
July schedule -
1st started taking Maca and Vitex 2x a day
5th ovulated
12th period should have started
today is the 17th - no period but occasional cramps, PMS symptoms but no sore breasts. Hungry and tired.
