#suicideFAILAny man who makes a rich living on the backs of kitty cat photos and nut-shot videos probably has a happy-go-lucky approach to life, right? For Cheezburger Network founder Ben Huh that apparently wasn't always the case.
I closed the doors of my first start-up in the summer of 2001. I was throughly broke, depressed, and feeling the burden of losing hundreds of thousands of dollars of other people's money. Loneliness, darkness, hopelessness... those words don't capture the feeling of the profound self-doubt that sets in after a failure. Loneliness. Darkness. Hopelessness. Those words describe the environment of depression. Self-doubt? That shakes you to the core and starts a fracture in your identity that makes you question if you should even exist anymore.
Huh was only 23 at the time, and he says that when the 9/11 attacks happened, he spiraled even further into depression and spent an increasing amount of time locked in his bedroom.
I spent a week in my room with the lights off and cut off from the world, thinking of the best way to exit this failure. Death was a good option -- and it got better by the day.
Obviously, Huh left his room, he stopped thinking seriously about suicide, and then he figured out a way to make assloads of money from the content that people are already uploading to the Internet.
God bless America.

I bought an iPad 3 online a couple of weeks ago and I had the photosync issue that many have had, but I also had an issue that if I deleted any data (photos or videos etc) it didn't delete the data and just shifted it into "other". If I did a soft reset then the memory freed up. The screen also had a brownish colour to it so I took it back.
The 2nd iPad had no sync issues, but had a brown screen again, making the whites look sepia (see my other thread). So this went back too.
Onto my 3rd iPad and at first everything seemed great. The screen was/is superb and I didn't have any sync/memory issues until last night. The first thing that happened was that the iPad would crach and disconnect from the server when downloading/updating apps. This also caused safari to stop working, and any apps that needed internet/wificonnection. It's not the same wifi issue as a lot of people are getting as the actual wifi connection was strong, it just wouldn't connect to the servers. I've since discovered that it only happens when downloading/updating large apps. The ones I've had trouble with have been 200+MB. Ones under 10MB have no issue at all.
Then this morning I've connected the iPad to iTunes and the memory is virtually full with nearly 2GB being taken up by other again. I deleted all content off my iPAd and did a soft reset but it still showed nearly 2GB data taken up by other. I did a full restore which got rid of the data in other, but as soon as I restored from backup the data in other was back again.
I'm going to try doing a full restore again but this time setting up as a new device and see how I get on (I didn't have time this morning as had to get to work). Needless to say I'm so disappointed. I've got a feeling that I'm going to have to take this iPad back too but I'm very reluctant to as I don't want to have a bad screen again. The screen is very important to me, and in fact is why I didn't buy the iPad 2 and been waiting 18 months for a retina display. I'm a big apple fan, and have the iphone, Macbook pro and Ipod nano too, but this has really put me off the iPad :-(

Purdue will play its first College Basketball Invitational game in school history when its hosts Western Illinois at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
A Boilermakers victory would set up another home game, this time a CBI quarterfinal matchup against the winner of the first-round game between Santa Clara and Vermont.
Purdue, which has a 15-17 overall record, was the second-best rebounding team in the Big Ten with an average of 39.3 a game, which was 5.3 more than opponents. The Boilermakers lost 57-55 to Nebraska in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament.
Western Illinois, which is 22-8 and went 13-3 in the Summit League, is coached by Jim Molinari. Western Illinois holds opponents to 52.7 points a game and less than 40 percent shooting from the floor.
Purdue is 4-0 in its series against Western Illinois and never has lost to a Summit League team, going 12-0.

JACKSON TOWNSHIP | A 45-year-old man was arrested after barricading himself in his home on County Road 1050 North for nearly nine hours.
Eric Martin was arrested about 9 p.m. after officers found him hiding in a closet in the house, said Sgt. Larry LaFlower, of the Porter County Sheriff's Department.
Martin was shot with nonlethal ammunition, LaFlower said. Charges were pending late Wednesday.
Porter County police went to the home about noon after receiving a call from the Chesterton Medical Center, where Martin's father went after being attacked by his son, LaFlower said.
Martin's father, Louis Martin, 78, was badly bruised and had knife wounds, LaFlower said.
Police went to the home to investigate and had commitment orders from Judge William Alexa. Officers were given a key to the home by a family member, LaFlower said.
When the officer went inside, Martin slammed the door on the officer and said he had a gun, LaFlower said. That was the last time officers had any contact with Martin.
LaFlower confirmed shots were fired from inside the home. He said tactical officers fired tear gas into the home, but that did not drive out the man.
Officials used two robots, usually used by the county's bomb squad, to allow officers to see inside the home without having to send in personnel.
Louis Martin was treated and released from the hospital. LaFlower said the father was at the scene late Wednesday.
LaFlower said Louis Martin and Eric Martin lived together at the home. He said police previously had been called to the home.

Bernie Madoff Is Laughing: Street Whispers
TheStreet) -- Bernie Madoff must be chuckling in prison as he watches attempts to beef-up supervision of investment advisers go down in flames thanks to an all-out industry lobbying effort. House Financial Services Committee chairman Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) dropped efforts to push the Investment Adviser Oversight Act of 2012 to the House floor after he realized that it would never pass out of committee. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) introduced a bill that would up fees and fines to pay for more examinations, but even that weak sauce is unlikely to live past the upcoming Congressional summer recess.Advisers could not contain their glee at having dodged the oversight bullet, with industry leader Craig Hester of Hester Capital Management telling InvestmentNews the death of the Bachus bill is "exactly what we've been asking for." "Our lobbying efforts are starting to pay dividends," Hester gushed to the publication. Bachus's bill -- which the congressman reintroduced, along with Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), in April -- would have transferred supervision of investment advisers to "one or more self-regulatory organizations," funded by membership fees. Bachus said back in April that "the average SEC-registered investment adviser can expect to be examined less than once every 11 years," and that the "lack of oversight, particularly in the aftermath of the Madoff scandal, is unacceptable. Bad actors will naturally flow to the place where they are least likely to be examined." Broker-dealers are regulated by the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, which is a self-regulatory body. Bachus's bill sought to expand FINRA's authority to cover registered investment advisers as well. As required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act -- signed into law by President Obama in July 2010 -- the SEC was required to conduct a study on the oversight of broker-dealers and investment advisers. The SEC released its study in early 2011 and said that as of September 2010, there were over 11,000 investment advisers registered with the OCC, managing "than $38 trillion for more than 14 million clients." In addition, the OCC said that there were "more than 275,000 state-registered investment adviser representatives and more than 15,000 state-registered investment advisers." The SEC recommended rulings based on Dodd-Frank that would apply a uniform standard to the supervision of investment advisers and broker-dealers, with a "harmonization of regulation" for the two groups. The new bill introduced by Rep. Waters, along with former House Financial Services Committee chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) and Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) would "provide a dedicated funding source to the SEC to enable a robust investment adviser oversight program, consistent with the first recommendation made by SEC staff" in its January 2011 report. Waters added that "the SEC currently only examines approximately 8 percent of advisers annually, out of the approximately 11,000 advisers registered with the Commission."NEW YORK (

We need to stop and take a deep breath.
So much has happened over the past two weeks.
Not being much of a network TV watcher, I only caught snippets of chatter here at the office and around town late last week.
Apparently many of my colleagues and friends enjoy spending their evenings with reality TV.
I heard one friend practically swoon when she mentioned that Hines Ward won the top prize on "Dancing with the Stars." It was news to me.
Ward is a wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers in my mind.
Roane County United Way would like to thank everyone who participated in and those who attended our recent Family Fun Day held at Roane State.
We had more than 25 agencies on hand to provide information on services that are provided to the Roane County community.
This event was started three years ago as a means to raise awareness in the community for our nonprofit agencies.
We would like to thank the Harriman Post Office for all the food they provided for our food pantry with their Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.
We thank all who donated so generously along their routes but also the postal employees for the extra work and time they put into this effort. They did an amazing job in picking up and delivering the food to us. And we are truly grateful, as we know those who benefit from this contribution are.
Kingston is a wonderful place to walk if you just want to get exercise along the lakefront.
But if you ever find yourself trying to cross busy Kentucky Street on foot — watch out.
Last week a teenage girl was struck by a car as she was trying to do just that. While her injuries didn't seem to be life-threatening, the accident could have been deadly.
Even at well-designated major intersections like Race Street at Kentucky Street, pedestrians are dangerously pitted against motorists.
For more than 25 years, Jonathan Foust was a special kind of trooper — one of those rare officers who was so polite you were likely to thank him for the speeding ticket he handed you.
"He never saw a person he didn't like. He was always ready to do what was asked of him," said Trooper Teresa Brown, who not only worked with Foust on the Tennessee Highway Patrol, but she also graduated from Rockwood High School with him.
Gentle reader, we suspect that you, like we, despite wishing it were not so, share a certain prurient interest in the pecadillos of the rich, the famous, and most of all, the powerful.
So it is that we have followed the reports of the egregious behaviour of IMF chief, Dominique Strauss Kahn, formerly considered most likely the next president of France, and his assault on the housekeeper in the luxurious New York hotel, Sofitel.
I want to apologize for not being able to attend the "Meet the Candidates" at Killefer Park on May 15.
I unfortunately had obligations at work that I had to attend to.
I am part of the working class, which I am sure that most of Harriman can relate with. However, just because I had obligations at work, I don't want the people of Harriman to think that I don't care.
I have a plan for Harriman that I want the people of Harriman to be aware of before the main election, which is June 7.

Oklahoma County DA's ultimatum to parole board goes too far
Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater was right last summer to be angry about the covert manner in which the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board had been considering some inmates for early release. All state agencies need to operate as transparently as possible and, given the nature of its work, the parole board especially must do so.
But Prater's demand this week that board members resign by Friday or face misdemeanor charges of violating the state's Open Meetings Act seems extreme. If members had ignored Prater's accusations, this move would be warranted. But they seem to have gotten the message that their previous practices weren't good enough.
Soon after Prater accused the board of acting illegally about 50 times over a three-year period, Chairwoman Lynnell Harkins said there was no intent to deceive but that, "We'll do whatever we need to make it right." In December, board officials said no inmate would be considered for early parole or commutation, even if eligible for parole, until a new procedure was in place. The board has plans to vote later this year on a new early release policy.
The parole board also is in the process of redesigning its website to make it easier for the public to access and understand the monthly parole hearing dockets, and to provide information about how to attend to sign up or speak at meetings.
The state's district attorneys, riled over Prater's findings last year, want the Legislature this session to change the way inmates are allowed to request commutations. In response to that move, parole board Chairman Marc Dreyer asked lawmakers to give the board a year "to try to prove that we have turned the corner, the ship is upright."
Prater clearly believes more time isn't the answer, that only an overhaul will do. We'll know by end of business Friday whether this fight will escalate further.

Murder in New York City
Murder in New York City
"Eric Monkkonen is one of the world's leading crime historians. With characteristic diligence, he has gone back 200 years to capture the records on all homicides in New York City, consistently the nation's big city, and so a good model for urban homicide more generally. He explores in considerable detail the changing dimensions of demography, relationships, situations, and weaponry, thereby providing important insights that would not emerge from the more typical short-term analysis."--Alfred Blumstein, coeditor of "The Crime Drop in America
"The topic is obviously important, the research remarkable, the analysis very interesting, and the writing engaging. Despite the grim subject, this book is fun to read."--Ken Pomeranz, author of,"The Great Divergence

Globalization, Communities and Human Rights: Community-Based Property Rights and Prior Informed Consent
Magraw, Daniel Barstow, Baker, Lauren, Denver Journal of International Law and Policy
Globalization is placing increasing stress on individuals and communities, particularly in rural areas in developing countries. Increased trade and other economic activities, for example, result in higher demand for wood and other forest products, oil and other minerals, fish products, arable land, etc.--resources that indigenous and other local communities often depend upon for their livelihoods and cultures. Large-scale development projects such as dams, mines and highways often displace local populations, exploit their natural resource base, and interfere with or destroy their livelihoods and cultures. (2) Even new protected areas such as national parks--terrestrial and maritime--often displace local populations or restrict their access to land and resources on which they traditionally rely. (3)
Local communities often are unable to protect themselves in the face of these pressures. There are various reasons for their vulnerability, ranging from limitations in resource mobilization or technical expertise to more structural issues of political opportunity and power dynamics. Many communities lack knowledge or experience in mobilizing resources to defend their rights, such as technical, scientific or legal expertise, or other helpful skills such as how to use the media. At the most basic level, communities may not have access to a base of resources, like a place to meet, money for basic supplies such as copying and telephones, or technology such as computers and the internet. (4)
A more pervasive and structural problem is that rural people, while comprising a large majority in many developing countries, are frequently neglected, or even repressed, by national governments or local elites. A set of political variables, such as the openness of the political system, the State's capacity or propensity for repression, the stability of elite alignments, and the presence of elite allies all may influence the ability or limitations of a community to protect itself in the face of pressures. (5) Fundamental political and economic problems and the exploitation of the politically powerless often result in environmental injustices, including disparities in the benefits that flow from natural resources development. (6)
A related concern is that many nations continue to mirror the policies and biases of their former colonial governments, including land laws. In many countries, including in much of Asia and Africa, the State claims ownership of vast areas, including areas traditionally occupied by indigenous groups. Since political independence was attained in the 1960s by many African nations, State assertions of ownership have actually been broadened and legally strengthened in many nations. (7) In Indonesia, the State's authority over its resources since its independence has also been maintained and expanded, and in 1980s the State classified over 75% of the total land area as State Forest, including over 90% of the Outer Islands. (8) Given this pattern of State control of land and resources, local communities are often vulnerable to losing access to their traditionally occupied lands or resources, and thus to their means of sustenance, way of life, and culture.
This article addresses two related human rights norms that are emerging to counteract pressures being placed on vulnerable communities. The first of these is Community-Based Property Rights, which relate to the rights of long-established communities, especially indigenous ones, to manage and control natural resources they have traditionally utilized, and to maintain and adapt their often complex community rules and norms. The second is Prior Informed Consent by indigenous and other local communities with respect to the use of natural resources that they reside in or upon which they are otherwise dependent.
Before describing these concepts, it is helpful first to recall the legal context in which these norms are emerging. …

Garage Doors Are The Cats Meow

Garage Doors Are The Cats Meow
Garage doors all need springs to operate, as they offer the strain and pulling energy that raises the door up on its tracks. On the whole, there are 2 types of springs utilized for this: torsion springs and extension springs.
To start, torsion springs are the most typical type of garage door come use nowadays. For many modern-day homes, torsion springs are the most effective means to open your door, as it takes the least amount of space, operates silently and agrees with for the garage size of many suburban houses. Torsion springs are additionally more secure to use on dual vast doors as they lift from the facility, stopping any possible wobbling in the door as it acquires lifted. The majority of houses are set up with a single spring for cost reasons, yet two can be made use of if needed or preferred.
Torsion springs are usually a lot more costly than their extension spring equivalents, both in terms of components and setup, which could be a deterring aspect when acquiring a brand new put in or replacing an older one. A busted torsion spring is additionally virtually impossible to self-service, as they need special training to work with.
Extension springs are the other type of springs used on garage doors. Extension springs are set up on both tracks and draw the door up by its sides.
Try this.
this website
Extension springs have a number of downsides in evaluation to torsion springs. While it's feasible to work a garage door with just one torsion spring, an extension spring system always calls for two, one for each and every side of the door. As previously discussed, extension springs can not be utilized on larger doors, and deliberately they take up even more space than torsion springs in addition to being much less visually satisfying.
What sort of spring is suitable for your house, then? This depends a lot on your certain house and budget plan requirements. In many cases, you might not also need to choose. It's finest to merely leave them as-is if you're planning to stay just a couple of years in your existing residence and the springs are still reasonably brand-new. Relying on your fee of usage, the average set of door springs last anywhere from 5 to 12 years, which is lots of time if you're living in a put on a short-term basis.

|Faulty mechanics seen as a pitcher's foot comes down -- note the unhealthy inverted W's of the arms above -- have forced some of the games best pitchers to have Tommy John surgery.
This story appears in the April 2, 2012 "MLB Preview Issue" of ESPN The Magazine. Subscribe today!
EVERY PITCHER no matter his age, generates enough force on each pitch to rupture the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow. It's a scary thought, for sure, but also an easy one to forget in the idyllic, emerald-grass setting that is Viera, Fla. Though Washington Nationals spring training has only just begun, a healthy crowd has turned out to watch fireballer Stephen Strasburg throw today's bullpen. It's been 18 months since the Nationals star underwent Tommy John surgery -- the reconstruction of that oh-so-delicate UCL -- at the age of 22; note the four-inch scar on the inside of his right elbow. Strasburg, who's known for touching 100 mph, doesn't disappoint. The fans, with their noses pressed through the chain-link fence, are thrilled. The Nationals, with their $15 million starter back on the mound after a year on the disabled list, couldn't be happier. He looks exactly the same as he did before his elbow blew up.
And therein lies the problem.
Thirty-seven baseball seasons have passed since orthopedic surgeon Frank Jobe performed the first UCL reconstruction on Dodgers southpaw Tommy John, whose name would become synonymous with the procedure. At the time, John was 31 years old with 124 wins and 11 seasons under his belt. He never threw heat like Strasburg, instead relying on a bottom-out sinker that forced ground balls. But the two pitchers -- as well as many others who have undergone UCL reconstruction -- have one thing in common: a mechanical flaw in the timing of their deliveries that causes the arm to lag behind the rest of the body, putting extra stress on the shoulder and elbow.
John wasn't told any of that in 1974, but he did learn the UCL connects the ulna in the forearm to the humerus in the upper arm and acts as the elbow's primary stabilizer. He also knew from fellow Dodger Sandy Koufax, who had retired in 1966 at age 30 after a short but brilliant career, that a damaged UCL meant you were done. What Jobe proposed to John sounded both crazy and simple: replacing his torn left UCL with a tendon graft from his right wrist. Though the physician gave him only a one-in-100 chance of returning to baseball, John liked the slim odds better than the idea of working at his buddy's car dealership back home in Terre Haute, Ind. So the surgeon sliced through the muscle on the inside of the pitcher's left elbow to expose his shredded UCL, drilled holes in the ulna and humerus and threaded the graft from John's opposite wrist through them in a figure-8 pattern. Then he sutured the remnants of John's original UCL to the graft for added strength, whispered a few words of encouragement and closed up.
Eighteen months later, John defied the odds and returned to baseball. Jobe's procedure soon proved so successful that it became the norm. Today, about 50 active major league pitchers have undergone Tommy John surgery -- around one in seven.
Despite the inevitable yearlong stint on the DL that rehab from the surgery requires, teams and pitchers seem to barely flinch at the diagnosis of a
As miraculous as that sounds, it masks a loaded situation. To understand the epidemic of UCL injuries, The Mag interviewed dozens of biomechanics experts, pitching coaches, coaches for hire, pitchers and front office personnel. (Only a handful of major league pitching coaches accepted our interview requests.) The picture that emerges is of baseball at war with itself over the health of its arms. In one corner stands a cottage industry of scientists and biomechanics-promoting coaches who study motion for a living and have determined, through high-speed video analysis, that the sport's ignorance of arm-saving science is a shameful oversight. In the other is major league baseball, which, with rare and fleeting exceptions, clings to a deep-rooted tradition: If it ain't broke -- or can be fixed after a year on the DL -- don't fix it.
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -- multiple biomechanics experts interviewed for this story
|Stephen Strasburg, drafted No. 1 in 2009, has yet to pitch a full season. Some biomechanical experts see his strained motion and worry he never will.
To throw a baseball properly, a pitcher must get into the right position at the right time with the right succession of movements, like dominoes falling. Disruptions in this kinetic chain, as experts call it, cause problems at the weakest link, most often the elbow or shoulder.
Problems usually begin below the waist. The most telling moment in a pitcher's delivery, for instance, is the foot strike. When the foot makes contact with the mound, the pitching arm must be up and ready to throw. A righthanded pitcher should be showing the baseball to the shortstop, a lefty
Arm lag and improper sequencing were likely to blame for Strasburg's UCL tear, as well as for those of almost everyone else knocked out by the injury. "The timing is subtle," says the American Sports Medicine Institute's Glenn Fleisig, who has analyzed more than 2,000 pitchers and is one of the world's foremost authorities on pitching biomechanics. "It's the difference between good and great and healthy and injury-waiting-to-happen."
Strasburg was probably in trouble from the get-go. He didn't rupture his UCL on one pitch with the Nationals -- even if a pitcher feels a pop on a particular pitch, his UCL was anything but pristine before the incident. Like a rope, Strasburg's UCL probably started to fray the moment he began pitching off a mound, the extra height of which can compound the stress of each pitch. It likely got worse not only because of his mechanics. Kids who throw the hardest pitch the most: They get hitters out. Famed orthopedic surgeon James Andrews, who founded ASMI in 1987, says he has seen a five- to sevenfold increase in high schoolers requiring UCL reconstruction since 2000.
"The No. 1 risk factor for UCL injuries is poor mechanics," he says. "The No. 2 factor is overuse. And if you overuse with poor mechanics, you're doomed."
God-given genetic superiority and freakish athletic ability often help those with less-than-ideal pitching mechanics make it to the majors, which is why you will find shockingly few exemplars of pitching mechanics on Sunday Night Baseball. "Everyone knows smoking is bad for you, yet people still smoke," says Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild. "It's the same with pitching. I've seen guys who don't have great mechanics pitch for a long time. The body adjusts."
Until it doesn't.
"You have to be open-minded. Closed minds don't make progress." -- Rangers president Nolan Ryan
|Regular-season days MLB pitchers recovering from Tommy John surgery have collectively spent on the DL in the past five years. MLB teams have spent $193,503,317 on their salaries during their recoveries.
To anybody involved with the biomechanical analysis of pitching, it's difficult to imagine a world without it. To anybody even half interested in baseball,
For more than a hundred years, pitching mechanics have been evaluated at 32 frames per second -- the best the human eye provides. A pitcher's delivery, from first movement to ball release, can take as little as 1.4 seconds. In that tiny window, coaches, scouts and fathers try to assess dozens of variables, such as "hip and shoulder separation" and "pitching arm external and internal rotation." It's a tall order, if not an impossible one. "What the eyes see and what actually takes place are two different things," says Tom House, a former big-leaguer-turned-pitching-coach who now heads the Rod Dedeaux Research and Baseball Institute at the University of Southern California. "You see reality when you see what happens at 1,000 frames per second. It's a humbling experience."
The baseball community that makes a living off analyzing that reality is a quirky lot. Some are mechanical or biomedical engineers, like Fleisig. Some are retired pro pitchers, like House and Cy Young winner Mike Marshall, who has a Ph.D. in exercise physiology. Some are kinesiologists. Some are even self-taught, like coach-for-hire Alan Jaeger, who helps clients "merge the mechanics of the Western athlete with the insight of the Far Eastern mind." Their approaches vary, but they all believe that by addressing a pitcher's biomechanics and physics, they can improve performance and decrease injury. Not that they always agree. For example, Marshall advocates an ultrahigh arm slot. Jaeger is an advocate of long toss to build arm strength and stretches pitchers out as far as 380 feet. They find each other's untraditional approaches controversial and often fail to present a completely united front. While the small particulars they disagree on nearly bring them to fisticuffs, all agree that any flaw that disrupts the timing of a pitcher's kinematic sequence is problematic.
Collectively, their research can be as persuasive as it is cutting edge. A total of 2,000 pitchers -- including six future Cy Young winners -- have visited
And yet despite the stature of Andrews and Fleisig, only about one-tenth of ASMI's clients played pro ball at any level. When pros do visit, they often find the screening advantageous. Braves pitcher Tim Hudson spent the early part of his career in Oakland, where pitching coach Rick Peterson, a biomechanics guru, took him to ASMI for mapping. "I think it's a great test," says Hudson. "You can do it when you're pitching really well, and then, if you struggle or have pain" -- Hudson himself later had Tommy John surgery, from overuse -- "do it again. Instead of trying to eyeball it with regular video, you can actually use the science to compare the two." Fleisig also recalls CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee visiting in the early 2000s as promising young Cleveland Indians; he's mum on the details, but they soon became two of baseball's most dominant pitchers.
Such an analysis reveals, for example, an issue late in the delivery -- such as a tilted head position -- that biomechanics-minded coaches address much earlier in the pitching motion, just as an engineer would need to right a listing skyscraper at its foundation rather than at the 15th floor. The pitching coach also creates a full program of mechanical drills tailored to correct nearly all woes, even a habit like arm lag. "With an approach that includes strength training and mechanics, there's not much you can't fix," says independent pitching coach and former scout Paul Reddick.
"I'm not going to let new-school ways get in the way of my old-school thinking. I don't need biomechanics. I have experience. I have my eyes. I just watch and look." -- White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper
Baseball, it's been said, is the only thing besides the paper clip that hasn't changed. And in the case of MLB pitching mechanics, the status quo is stickier than pine tar. Whether you're a pitcher, scout, coach or GM, the goal is to keep your job and win baseball games -- not shift paradigms.
Take major league pitching coaches. They're paid to get outs. They spend hours looking at pitch charts, spray charts and video of opposing hitters. They develop a plan of attack for each batter and help their pitchers execute that game plan. They work with trainers on a throwing program, preside over bullpen sessions and manage workloads. Occasionally, they'll make adjustments to a delivery or change the mechanics of a certain pitch to make it better or more deceptive, but their main priority never changes: Send the man at the plate back to the dugout.
As such, they're more equipped to assess an opposing lineup's tendency to chase the low-and-away fastball than to address the effects of vectors and valgus stress on their pitchers. The vast majority of MLB pitching coaches, who don't have scientific backgrounds, don't speak biomechanics -- and it doesn't speak to them.
According to Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, the president of the Rangers, MLB pitching coaches can find the new scientific knowledge threatening. "Maybe they don't know how to approach it," he says. "So they just don't." When Ryan began pitching for the Rangers at age 42, House was his pitching coach; the aging ace quickly became a biomechanics believer and worked with the coach, whom he later thanked in his Cooperstown induction speech, to constantly refine his mechanics. "I had to because of age and because of new info," Ryan says. "If I thought it would help, I'd put it in my routine."
It's practically an unwritten law in baseball that the majors are not the place to make big mechanical changes. The rare times coaches push for them, it's in the minors. "When you're interviewing pitching coaches," says former Reds and Nationals general manager Jim Bowden, who's now with ESPN, "if they're mechanically oriented, you hire them for rookie ball or Low-A ball, where they can make tweaks before pitchers succeed."
But the more success pitchers have, the less incentive anybody has to correct their approach. "Once they reach the majors, they're pretty set into their deliveries," says the Reds' Riggins. "With big leaguers, I don't talk much about changing mechanics." If a coach risks changing a pitcher's mechanics and he gets hit or hurt, it's the coach's fault; if he leaves a pitcher alone and he gets hurt, it's because the pitcher already had a bad arm. If a team can win in the interim, like the Giants have done with Tim Lincecum and his radically tilted delivery -- which critics view as a time bomb -- it's managed to get its money's worth. "That's exactly the theory," concedes Astros pitching coach Doug Brocail. "It works until it doesn't."
Experts with biomechanics backgrounds find this approach painfully illogical. "Baseball is a game of failure coached by negative people in an environment of misinformation," says House. Not surprisingly, pitching coaches who preach biomechanics rarely crack the bigs. They say what they think, which is often that pitchers need to change the mechanics they've been throwing with since grade school.
In MLB's defense, the research has yet to reach a level at which it can predict and prevent every UCL blowout. "There's a lot of data," says a skeptical Bowden. "But even with all the research that's been done, you still can't perfectly articulate who will get hurt and when it will happen."
So teams are hesitant to stick their toes in the pool -- and few, if any, want to really swim. At ASMI, Fleisig estimates that in the past decade, 20 of the 30 teams have brought at least one player to be mapped, but they usually bring
It would require a risk-taking franchise to explode the status quo. A GM would need biomechanics experts, coaches who listen to them and an owner who believes the forward-thinking approach will save his pitchers' arms -- as well as millions in payroll. Baltimore GM Dan Duquette may be that man. In January, he hired Peterson as the Orioles' director of pitching development.
"I really think our industry is behind the times," says Peterson, who believes his tenures with the Mets and Brewers were short-lived because of his propensity for applying biomechanical analysis to change his pitchers' deliveries. During spring training, Peterson invited ASMI to map 37 Orioles pitchers, including the team's major leaguers. "This is now the philosophical path this organization is going in," he says. "The format of those reports is so vital. What do you do with the pitcher after you get the report? That's where I come in. Other teams get the reports and go,'Now what?'"
In the meantime, as we all know, the rest of MLB's teams aren't doing nothing. They count pitches. The Nationals announced in late February that they'd limit Strasburg to 150 to 160 innings this season. Other pitchers who have had Tommy John surgery, such as Brian Wilson and Kerry Wood, work out of the bullpen to extend the life of their arms. Pitch counts are important to the biomechanics community -- Fleisig and Andrews championed the Little League decision to limit pitch counts nationwide in 2007. But pitch counts alone, they say, can't protect UCLs from poor mechanics.
At best, they prolong the inevitable.
"I've been throwing this way my whole life. I'm not going to try to reinvent the wheel." -- Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg
Tommy John never did work at that car dealership back home in Indiana. His surgeon saved him. But it wasn't only the scalpel that made him -- to this day -- the most successful pitcher following UCL reconstruction.
During rehab, John hooked up with his teammate, Mike Marshall. "The surgery worked for Tommy because I made him put his hand under the baseball," Marshall says. John acknowledges a change in grip. "If you move it to the side, the ball is pointing back when your hands break and you can come up nice and high," says John, who pitched another 14 years, won 164 games and retired at age 46.
The Nationals hope that Strasburg, at 23, has an equally long career ahead of him. After all, he's brilliant. Following his yearlong rehab, Strasburg made five starts last September. He pitched 24 innings, with 24 strikeouts, just two walks and a 1.50 ERA. His command was good; 224 of his 328 pitches were strikes, the prettiest of which was a 99 mph, letter-high, 0-and-2 fastball that fanned Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton in the top of the first inning on Sept. 17.
But earlier in the game, Nationals TV analyst F.P. Santangelo recalled a one-inning stretch six days earlier when Strasburg was hitting only 92 and 93 on the radar gun, causing some concern inside the Beltway. "He's getting out front, and his arm was dragging," Santangelo said, referring to Strasburg's habitual arm lag, which takes more of a toll when the pitcher tires. Play-by-play man Bob Carpenter piped up a few innings later, relaying what Nationals pitching coach Steve McCatty had told him: "'I don't want to be the one that screws the kid up.'" And then: "He's scared to death every time Strasburg goes to pitch."
He should be. Tommy John surgery isn't nearly as successful the second time.

Drive from Lyons to Chamonix
In my quest to try and fit in Chamonix. I'm considering renting a car to drive to Chamonix from Lyons instead of taking the train. What's the drive like? And what route. We would like to go through Anncey. Should we plan to spend the night in Chamonix, Saint Gervais, Anncey or Geneva? And is the trip weather dependent. Main attraction is the gondola on Mt. Blanc.
Thanks in advance for any tips.

Jennifer Moore and her fiancé, Nate Miller, both of Fort Collins, decided Friday would be the day to get married at the Hyde Chapel at YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park.
As last week's blizzard blanketed the state, 22-year-old Moore breathed a sigh of relief thinking there was no way it could happen again on her wedding day.
She was so wrong.
"I am just praying that we get less snow than expected and that they clear the roads on time," Moore said. "I am praying for a miracle."
The guest list of 130 people includes many from Moore's home state of Michigan.
Many guests are already in Colorado, but there are some who are still on the way coming through the Denver International Airport.
"I am just worried that no one is going to come to my wedding," she said.
Miller, 23, is keeping his mouth shut about the storm around his fiancé.
"He doesn't really say much," Moore said. "He's trying not to freak me out."

May 1, 2012 — The Henry Luce Foundation is supporting the second phase of a longstanding program providing master's degree fellowships and U.S. study tours for nine emerging leaders from China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs; two-month internships in China for nine master's degree candidates from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies; and five-month travel grants to China for three assistant professors to pursue research for a planned publication. The innovative project, administered by The Asia Foundation, works to improve mutual understanding and enhance prospects for greater cooperation on global issues, such as foreign aid policy, humanitarian intervention, and climate change.
The new program will expand and increase opportunities for Americans to visit and study and work in China, and builds on more than 30 years of Asia Foundation programs on U.S.-China relations. The Young Diplomats Program alumni network now includes 86 Chinese diplomats and dates back to the early 1980s.

Albert Bichot Pommard Clos des Ursulines Domaine du Pavillon
Sku: 1495084*
Pommard is one of the most famous villages in the Cote de Beaune and is well-known for its red wines. The
reddish-brown soil is rich in hard piedmont limestone which yields some of Burgundy's most tannic, robust wines. They are more powerful than the neighbouring wines from Beaune and are often considered to be "masculine" wines. The Clos des Ursulines, a peaceful haven dotted with centuries-old pine trees, is located at the heart of Pommard. It is undoubtedly this tranquillity that once enchanted the nuns from the Ursuline convent who were the first owners of the estate. This walled vineyard is now the favourite spot for the current generation of Bichot children to play at hide-and-seek when the family gets together for one of their grand reunions. This 4-hectare monopole is located at the
southern end of the Pommard appellation toward Volnay. At the foot of the slope, clayey calcic brown soil overlies hard Middle Jurassic limestone. Facing east/south-east, this vineyard benefits from excellent exposure to the sun which yields quality fruit. The high proportion of clay in the soil lends both structure and depth to the wine.

Rising stars could make headway
Considering the way 2008 ended, our instincts say either Venus or Serena Williams will walk about from Melbourne victorious. But the women's field has a bevy of youngsters just waiting for the right opportunity.
Updated: January 16, 2009, 2:11 PM ETBy Kamakshi Tandon | Special to ESPN.com
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Unlike the men's field, there was the real possiblity of a lopsided women's Australian Open draw because two of the main contenders, Ana Ivanovic and Venus Williams, are both ranked outside the top four.But the luck of the draw has seen the brackets turn out to be quite evenly balanced. The top half is flanked by the Serbs, Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic, with a Russian in between -- Dinara Safina. The bottom half is flanked by the Williamses, Serena and Venus, ...

Hi all. So after enjoying my first year of racing (and mostly serving as pack fodder), I'm gearing up for next year. I do not have a Powermeter and it is not in my future. I also do not have a HR Monitor; I have been following Friel's training bible by estimating my RPE (rate of perceived exertion) while training. This has seemed okay since finding the correct zone for aerobic base rides seems pretty easy, and I think I do pretty well in targeting my other workouts to the correct zones, at least roughly.
I haven't bought a HR monitor because, well, it's just one more freaking gadget to fool around with, and I get tired of dealing with stuff. So here's my question: am I fooling myself by thinking that I am training just fine without out? Should I get one? Opinions?

"Pure Cinema"
Человек с киноаппаратом ("Man with a Movie Camera") is a classic experimental documentary film that was released in 1929. Directed by pioneer Soviet filmmaker Dziga Vertov, this classic, silent documentary film has no story and no actors, and is actually three documentaries in one. Ostensibly it documents 24 hours of life in a single city in the Soviet Union. But it is also a documentary of the filming of that documentary and a depiction of an audience watching that documentary and their responses. "We see the cameraman and the editing of the film, but what we don't see is any of the film itself." [more inside]

Another Russian animation post?!
Animatsiya in English is weblog (warning: livejournal) with a narrow focus: tracking the production of Russian animated feature films. Russian animation has a long history with output both abstract and obstructed; from the early influence of the Russian avant-garde and the work of small groups of enthusiasts, through Stalin-era Socialist realism and a style known as Éclair that was marked by the use of extensive rotoscoping, to the 1960's and beyond when surreal and politically charged (and unfortunately, in this case, anti-Semitic) as well as unconventionally structured, emotionally fueled films found release. Fortunately, when Pilot Studio—the Soviet Union's first private animation studio—decided to relegate parts of that history to the dumpsters out back, the people were ready to sift through the mess.

The distributed searching of state spaces containing cycles is a challenging task and has been studied for several years. Traditional parallel search algorithms either ignore the cyclic nature of the state space and waste much time in duplicated search effort, or they rely on heavy communication to reduce duplicate work, resulting in a large communication overhead. Both methods perform poorly, even when using a fast, local interconnection. A recently-developed task distribution scheme, called transposition-driven scheduling (TDS), performs much better, since it communicates asynchronously and efficiently suppresses duplicate search effort. TDS, however, requires bandwidths of megabytes per second per processor. In this paper, we investigate how cyclic state spaces can be searched efficiently on a meta-computing system containing multiple clusters, connected by high-latency, low-bandwidth wide-area links. This is quite a challenge, because the wide-area links provide neither the bandwidth required for TDS nor the latency required for traditional distributed search algorithms. We propose a scheme that strongly reduces communication between clusters at the expense of some duplicate search effort. Performance measurements for several applications show that the new scheme outperforms traditional schemes by a wide margin
