Tomorrow was Yesterday - Just Get on With It
If I had £1 for every time someone said to me "I have not got enough time to do that", or "I will look at it next week", or "I could have been a player, but I didn't have the money", I would be a billionaire! My answer to this is always the same; time waits for no one. For an entrepreneur in a hurry, that goes doubly so.I am a firm believer that if you have a feeling something needs to be done, or there is a big opportunity just waiting to be grabbed, then just do it. Now. If you don't, someone will beat you to it.People may say to me, well, it is OK for you; you are clearly a risk taker, I'd rather be cautious and check the numbers thoroughly first. Well, that I may be, but I believe that I am a pragmatic risk taker. I do things in the blind belief that they will work. And, if they don't, I damn well will find a way to make them work. Apart from anything else, ask yourself one question: if you are not willing to take the risk yourself that your idea might work and are not confident enough in your own ideas and skills, how do you ever expect to convince any one else to come on board and help you make it happen?So what is it in your business or in your thoughts that you are scared or talk yourself out of when if you go back to the reason you had the idea in the first place your excitement comes back?Lyndon(Diary of a Fortune Hunter Book Extract)

Donald Sterling Hires Private Investigators to See if Any Other NBA Leaders Are As Awful As He Is
This classy project has a six-figure budget.
Racist Instagram expert Donald Sterling, apparently determined to be the subject of bad press and public ridicule until the day he dies, is reportedly now trying to dig up dirt on the NBA and its leadership. According to the Associated Press, the 80-year-old Clippers owner has hired four — four! — private investigation firms to examine the league's finances, including the compensation of commissioner Adam Silver and former commissioner David Stern. They're also said to be looking into whether the NBA's 29 other team owners have ever made "any off-color jokes, or racist or sexist remarks." Surely there must be something.
An unnamed person told the AP that Sterling is giving a six-figure budget to the project, and that the investigators now have 30 days to produce results: "Whoever delivers the best [material] is going to stay on for the next round and it might be all four of them," said the source, who added that this particular search for closet skeletons is "not a small undertaking."
The same person explained that Sterling — who is still suing the NBA — "reluctantly" decided to make things more personal this week, when the league urged a judge to allow his estranged wife, Shelly, to follow through on her plan to sell the L.A. Clippers to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. "He realized these guys will literally go to any low to get this sold," said the source. "Even if it gets [him] nothing other than exposing all these guys and shaking up the league and seeing a change in the leadership of the league, it'll be worth it to him." Donald Sterling, classy as always.

On the 30th March 2013, I installed apple updates for Bonjour & Bonjour Print services on my Windows 8 computer. I was then unable to print from that machine. I ran the Bonjour Print wizard, but it could not find any Bonjour devices. My apple Express and Time Machine were visible from my Apple computer & Windows XP machine & printer workked OK,
I have now restored the Windows 8 computer to a date before I installed the updates. I ran the Bonjour wizard, it recognised my printer which now works
I need to install ITunes, but I see from correspondance on the web that this will reintroduce the Bonjour printing problems.
Is there any solution to this ?

Today is my chest day, which follows back day. Here are the exercises I did yesterday...
Deadlifts (5 sets)
Pullups (3 sets)
T-bar rows (3 sets)
Hammer High Row (3 sets with light weight)
...and now today my pecs are sore, mostly in the outer area. This usually happens everyweek and it's pissing me off. I currently follow a four day split which is setup like this:
Day1: Back
Day2: Chest
Day3: Off
Day4: Legs
Day5: Shoulders
Day6: Off
I've already spent about 7-8 months on BGB and I'd really like to stick to this four day split, but possibly rearrange the days to avoid having sore pecs on chest day. Or does anyone have any recommendations for back exercises I could do that shouldn't cause my pecs to be sore?

Assessing Student Perception of Practice Evaluation Knowledge in Introductory Research Methods
Baker, Lisa R., Pollio, David E., Hudson, Ashley, Journal of Social Work Education
EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE (EBP) is becoming a key component of social work standards for education (Briggs & Rzepnicki, 2004; Howard, McMillan, & Pollio, 2003; Pollio, 2006; Zlotnick, 2004). Cournoyer (2004) defines evidence-based social work as the "mindful and systematic identification, analysis, evaluation and synthesis of evidence of practice effectiveness, as a primary part of an integrative and collaborative process concerning the selection of application of service to members of target client groups" (p. 4). Others draw on definitions based in evidence-based medicine that focus on the use of best evidence to make conscientious decisions about patient care (Straus, Richardson, Glasziou, & Haynes, 2005). There are a variety of ways in which social workers evaluate their practice. Most commonly, a single-subject design is employed where a target behavior of an individual, or a small number of individuals, is established and observed over time (Creswell, 2009). In addition, two or more groups can be compared in a between-subjects design or a factorial design. More complex methods of practice evaluation involve the use of random assignment and control groups, as in the pretest-posttest control-group design (Creswell, 2009). Social work educators and practitioners are making a concerted effort to apply these new standards (Frost, 2002) and are moving toward systematic application of current evidence (Rosen, 2003; Whittaker et al., 2006). Furthermore, social work literature is calling for exploration of curriculum reform in order to place a greater emphasis on EBP throughout undergraduate and graduate programs (Howard, Allen-Meares, & Ruffolo, 2007; Soydan, 2008).
Implementation models for EBP discuss specific steps, one of which includes evaluating the application of an intervention, otherwise termed practice evaluation (Cournoyer, 2004; Gibbs, 2003). Practice evaluation, also discussed as empirically based practice, has a long history of importance within social work and is a key component of EBP. Beginning in the second half of the 20th century, social work began the call for development of its own scientific knowledge base and for the evaluation of practice. This was largely the result of the field's acknowledgement that practitioners were not using the best evidence available to guide their practice decisions. And yet, practitioners often argued that a scientific orientation was disempowering and too mechanical. Unfortunately, this alienation between researchers and practitioners persists and has made the integration of research methods and findings into social work practice quite difficult (Rosen, 2003). This certainly poses problems for newly graduated social work students who find that community agencies embracing EBP anticipate hiring graduates who are equipped with evaluation skills and prepared to lead the way in implementation (Edmond, Megivern, Williams, Rochman, & Howard, 2006). In response, Drake, JonsonReid, Hovmand, and Zayas (2007) discuss the process of infusing EBP throughout an MSW curriculum, and the role of research courses in providing the skills necessary for evaluation of current evidence, as well as generation of new evidence.
There is a current body of literature that discusses techniques to improve undergraduate research education. A variety of approaches are provided, including aspects of participatory or service learning (Knee, 2002) and community research (Anderson, 2002). Even with these approaches, faculty members are still faced with the question of which methods are best in evaluating student knowledge retention and learning. The most common methods of evaluating learning are through embedded assignments, class participation, grades, and course evaluations. Although these evaluation methods are useful, there are few standardized methods available to evaluate whether or not there has been a change in student knowledge over time. Holden, Barker, Meenaghan, and Rosenberg (1999) created the Research Self-Efficacy Scale (RSES) to assess student confidence level in the ability to complete general research activities. …

I had the great fortune to travel to Bangkok the fall and winter of 2007-2008. I discovered in that time the beauty and diversity of the people and culture of Bangkok and the surrounding area. There is an amazing number of things you can do in Bangkok all reachable by MRT (Subway), Skytrain, or boat. Please enjoy the previews of the the book and I hope you purchase one for your home or business. I had not thought I would ever get to such an exotic place as Thailand. When the opportunity came, I lept at the opportunity. I am glad I did.

It's the first of many agreements to be made with Southeast tribes to preserve and protect cemetery, shamanic, historic, sacred and archaeological sites within their territory, says Sealaska Board President Albert Kookesh.
Only the regional corporation has title to the lands under the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act.
"The only choice we had as a corporation was to select those sites and to protect them ourselves," Kookesh says. "We're the only train left at the station. Nobody else has an entitlement in Southeast Alaska among the Native community where they could get title to these sites and protect them."
Kookesh says the corporation and its board of directors have made a conscientious effort to identify some Sealaska economic lands as cultural sites for protection.
Under the agreement, Kasaan will work with Sealaska Heritage Institute to develop a preservation program and ensure that uses will not compromise historical and cultural integrity of the sites.
Sealaska Heritage President Rosita Worl says the most sacred thing to Native people is their land. She says the agreement will extend to lands in the Kasaan territory yet to be identified.
"It's not only these particular historic sites, but it will be the yet undiscovered shamanic sites that we know are out there but our ancestors did not want to put on the map," Worl says. "They did not want to put that on the map because they were fearful that people would come and desecrate those lands."
The agreement was signed yesterday (Wednesday) by Kookesh, Worl, and Richard Peterson, president of the Organized Village of Kasaan.
Peterson says the Memorandum of Agreement between Sealaska Corporation, the Heritage Institute and Kasaan is very significant to the small tribe, and a testament that tribes and regional corporation can work together.
He says the tribe will be managing land it still uses.
"It's important to not only mention that these are our ancestral homes, but that we still utilize these areas. Today we are still our own people," Peterson says. "We live our lives as traditional people we still gather the foods, medicines, resources we need to survive as Haida, Tlingit, as Tshimian."
Under ANCSA, the only way to put lands in Native ownership is through Sealaska Corporation's remaining entitlement, or through the federal historical site program, which Worl calls a difficult process that takes years to complete.
The Sealaska Lands legislation currently before Congress includes a portion of Sealaska's remaining entitlement to be used for cemetery and historical properties.

Last year on Mother�s Day, Brandy Hatcher of Wilmington learned that she was expecting her first child. This Mother�s Day, she purchased a $4,000,000 Gold Bullion ticket that would go on to win her $1 million.
�I had just gone to the store to buy mints and decided to try a ticket on the way out,� Hatcher said. �I really couldn�t believe it. Between last Mother�s Day and this one, I don�t think it could get much better.�
Winners of $1 million in the game have the option of claiming it in $50,000 payments as a 20-year annuity or a one-time lump sum of $600,000. Hatcher took the cash payment. She plans to use her winnings, worth $415,206 after state and federal taxes, to purchase a car and save for her daughter�s college education.
Hatcher is the sixth player to win a $1 million prize in the game. She purchased the lucky ticket at the Lowes Foods on Carolina Beach Road in Wilmington.
As of Monday afternoon, one $4 million top prize, one $1 million prize and two $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed in the $20 game.
Ticket sales have made it possible for the lottery to raise more than $3.3 billion for the state. Net proceeds are used for prekindergarten programs for at-risk four-year-olds, teachers� salaries in grades K-3, school construction, digital learning initiatives, need-based college scholarships and financial aid.
For details on how more than $50.2 million in lottery funds have made a difference in New Hanover County, click on the �Where the Money Goes� tab on the lottery�s website.

After listening to the Community Organizer in Chief stoke the fires when it comes to the Zimmerman verdict about an hour ago, I'm still hotter than a pepper sprout! What he did today is unprecedented…it's as simple as that! Please tell me what purpose does it serve for a president of this nation to interject himself as he did today other than to help ensure there are more riots over this week-end with Al Sharpton leading the way…as well as attemting to invoke more power over states via the federal govt. and the DOJ when it comes to Stand Your Ground laws and our Second Amendment…defending oneself is just out of bounds when it comes to this black nationalist, marxist that occupies our White House.
Obama: "Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago!" – Cry me a river!
Here's a summary of what was said by Barack Hussein Obama today…you can check it out here:
President Obama on Friday offered stark comments about race in his first on-camera remarks since a Florida jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
In a surprise appearance at the White House press briefing, Obama said he'd been a victim of racial profiling and empathized with black Americans outraged by Zimmerman's acquittal.
"There are very few African-American men who haven't had the experience of being followed in a department store," he said. "That includes me."
After Martin was killed, Obama said the teenager would look like his son if he had one. On Friday, he compared himself to Martin, and said the death of the Florida teen should be put into the context of the history of American race relations.
"I said this could have been my son, another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago, and when you think about why, in the African-American community at least, there's a lot of pain around what happened here, I think it's important to recognize that the African-American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that doesn't go away," Obama said.
Obama also called for a review of so-called "stand your ground" laws, asking if they were "contributing to the kind of peace and order we would have like to see."
"It'd be useful for us to examine some state and local laws to see if they are designed in such a way that they may encourage the kind of altercations and confrontations and tragedies we saw in the Florida case," Obama said.
The president said he also hoped to find other ways to "learn some lessons from this and move in a positive direction."
He suggested it would be "productive" for the Justice Department to work with state and local law enforcement officials to "reduce the mistrust" with the African-American community. And he said he would encourage churches, families and workspaces to more critically examine their racial attitudes.
"Those of us in authority should be doing everything in our power to encourage the better angels of our nature," Obama said.
But the president's remarks — which appeared unscripted — also touched on the complexities of American race relations, and the difficult questions that had arisen in the aftermath of the Martin shooting.
He said that it was important to interpret the frustration of the African-American community "in a historical context."
"I don't wand to exaggerate this, but those sets of experiences inform how the African-American community interprets what happened one night in Florida," Obama said. "It's inescapable for people to bring those experience to bear."
The president noted "a history of racial disparity in the application of our criminal laws," and suggested things would have been different were Martin white.
"Folks understand the challenges that exist for African-American boys, but they get frustrated if they feel there is no context for it and that context is being denied," Obama said. "And that all contributes, I think, to a sense that if a white male teen was involved in the same kind of scenario, that from both top to bottom both the outcome and the aftermath might be different."
But the president also emphasized that the trial had been conducted fairly and properly.
"They rendered a verdict, and once the jury has spoken, that's how our system works," Obama said.
The president said those in the African-American community were not "naïve about the fact that African-American men are disproportionately … both perpetrators and victims of violence."
"Statistically someone like Trayvon Martin was statistically more likely to be shot by a peer than he was someone else," Obama said.
Here are two really good segments that followed not long after BHO made his phony speech:
David Webb speaks here, he also happens to be black…and he minced nary a word! – Read the link below.
'Tea Party Host David Webb Hits Obama For 'Playing Into Black-White Racist Dynamic' With Zimmerman Speech'
Watch here:
Here's Fox's Gregg Jarrett and Juan Williams, this was a really good segment too. Juan wasn't all that pleased with Obama's tactics:
'Juan Williams on Obama's Trayvon Martin Remarks: 'The Risk…Is That He Will Stoke Racial Tension'
Watch below:
Of course…good ol' Al Sharpton immediately announced his pleasure with Dear Leader adding fuel to the fire…after all, it helps what's coming tomorrow via marches planned with more riots to ensue…with 'Rev.' Al leading the way!
Dear Leader is the most divisive president ever…intentionally! I don't know about all of you…but this gal is mad as hell, I can't take much more of this filthy propaganda! – What say you?
Fire Away – Inquiring Minds Want to Know!

Updating my "records are misleading" theme with Dempster ...
I was originally against acquiring Dempster, but any fair look at his performance would show that his salary has not been wasted. (Building on a previoius thread ...)
If he'd had some run support this year his record would look much better:
We could only manage two runs for him in his first outing against the Yankees.
He handed off a lead against the Birds only to see Hanran blow the save.
He allowed only one earned run in seven vs the Rays only to have Bailey blow the save and pick up the win.
We couldn't manage more than two runs when he had to face KC.
He pitched seven fairly solid innings against the Twins, giving up only two earned runs. He hurt himself with a balk, but the real damage was two errors by Ciriaco, one by Salty, no run support and relief pitching not as good as him.
He earned the loss where the Jays buried him.
Gave up fewer earned runs than the relief vs the Indians, but picked up the loss.
Lost to the Phils because we couldn't muster more than one run despite seven fine innings of work.
Pitched eight brilliant innings against the Birds, but we couldn't even manage a single run for him.
Had a quality start against the Rays, but we manage only two runs.
Was in line for the win vs the Jays until Uehara's blown save.
He had a quality start against the Angels and was in line for the win until Uehara's blown save / Breslow's loss.
His start against Seattle was a a disaster and gave his ERA a significant up-tick. W/L saved by hot bats.
He allowed five runs vs NYY but would have lucked into a win until Taz blew the save.
Won vs the Birds even though Taz gave up a run in relief.
Should have lost vs Mariners but benefitted from a miracle finish.
Didn't have a quality start vs the Astros, but Taz held off Houston.
Pitched seven great innings vs Toronto, but Taz blew the save.
I'm beginning to wonder if Taz and Dempster should be pitching in the same game together.
