In Mod. Greek popular songs, proskuneiu is used of a vanquished enemy's act of falling to the ground in token of surrender.
The AS New Test. translates adorare by ge-eáð-mêdan, i.e., to humble oneself. The MHG flêhen [[to implore]], when it signifies supplicare [[to entreat, beg]],
Is that related to the word 'prostrate' and does that tell us something about the attitude to worship, one of humbling or abasement?

Yesterday, thousands of world leaders, celebrities and "regular people"
from around the globe gathered to say goodbye to South Africa's first
Black president and head of the ANC, Nelson Mandela. The leader of the anti-apartheid
movement, who courageously served a 27-year jail sentence in the name of
justice, was 95.
As the nation mourns the loss of Nelson Mandela, South African icon and leader of the
anti-apartheid movement, we are reminded of African-American
Harvard-educated lawyer, author and political activist Randall Robinson
and his tireless fight for the release of Mandela. Through his
platform, TransAfrica, Robinson called for not only Mandela's release
from prison, but also fought to help get the wheels in motion to
end the reign of apartheid.
The Federal Reserve has helped the nation rebound from the Great
Recession, but there still is more work to be done.
President Obama traveled to New Orleans Friday to push a
plan to spend more money on ports to put
Americans back to work.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker has won the U.S. Senate seat after a special election in New Jersey yesterday. The victory makes Booker the first-ever African American U.S.
Senator from New Jersey and the first African American to be elected to
the Senate since Barack Obama in 2004.
Rep. Charles Rangel and 8 other Democratic members of the House were
among 200 people arrested Tuesday at an immigration rally.
As September marks the annual exodus back to college campuses, the topic
of paying for college has been much in the news lately.
Tributes to the power and influence of Democratic strategist Bill Lynch, who joined the ancestors last week, come in a variety of ways. Lynch, who became known as "the rumpled genius" after helping David N. Dinkins get elected as NYC mayor in 1989, was 72. Here, he is remembered by reporter Herb Boyd.

(English) Zbl 1229.37103 Nonlinear Stud. 18, No. 3, 329-364 (2011). Summary: In this work vibrations of a flexible nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli-type beam, driven by a dynamic load and with various boundary conditions at its edge, including an impact, are studied. The governing equations include damping terms, with damping coefficients $\varepsilon_1,\varepsilon_2$ associated with velocities of the vertical deflection wand horizontal displacement $u$, respectively. Damping coefficients $\varepsilon_1,\varepsilon_2$ and transversal loads $q_0$ and $\omega_p$ serve as the control parameters in the problem. The continuous problem is reduced to a finite-dimensional one by applying finite differences with respect to the spatial coordinates, and is solved via the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. This approach enables the identification of damping coefficients, as well as the investigations of elastic waves generated by the impact of rigid mass moving at constant velocity $V$.

Newspaper article St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
Derivatives Give Funds a Black Eye Painewebber Losses Make Investors Aware of Risks
Article excerpt
Wall Street may have outsmarted itself again - and given mutual funds a credibility problem.
In their constant search for new products, investment firms have produced things like junk bonds, interest-rate swaps and mortgage-backed securities.
All have their place, but financial markets tend to excess.
Junk bonds were a useful financing tool for companies with poor credit ratings; it wasn't a good idea to use them to finance billion-dollar takeovers in the 1980s.
Interest-rate swaps help companies get the kind of rates they want in the currencies they want them in. But Procter & Gamble Co. lost $103 million recently because it couldn't resist the temptation to speculate in swaps.
Mortgage-backed securities began as pools of home mortgages that "passed through" interest and principal payments to investors. They're a pretty safe investment for people looking for income.
Then securities firms and created collateralized mortgage obligations in various shapes. Some pay interest only (IOs). Others pay principal only (POs).
But these mortgage-backed securities have far more risk attached to them than plain passthroughs.
The securities proved unprofitable enough to investors who knew what they were buying. And some investors are suing PaineWebber Group Inc., saying that the firm exposed them to the risks of mortgage securities without their knowledge.
These people bought shares in PaineWebber's Short-Term U.S. Government Income Fund, which, despite its safe-sounding name, was putting a lot of money into risky mortgage-related investments. …

Silver ETFs King Of Q1 2013
Silver ETFs saw the strongest inflows of any single commodity in the first quarter of 2013, a recently released quarterly commodities report from ETF Securities reveals. Specifically, net new buying of silver products totaled $875 million as investors rotated into cyclical assets.
North Americans were the top investors in silver ETFs in Q1, spending $732 million compared to Europe's $126 million. However, both regions clearly preferred the white metal over gold. Nick Brooks, head of research and investment strategy at ETF Securities, explained to Silver Investing News that there was a consistent move out of gold, which saw a massive $9.2 billion in net outflows from ETFs, into more cyclical commodities. Rarely is a trend so cleanly obvious as it was in the first quarter of this year, he said. Brooks pegged the flow out of gold largely on positive sentiment about the US economy, noting that improving data drove expectations for higher interest rates. Also, speculation that the Fed may ease off on the printing press gave the dollar a boost. Investors reacted by cutting their positions in gold and moving into the type of assets that tend to perform in a rising growth environment, Brooks said. And silver was one of the beneficiaries of that shift. It is not clear exactly how much of the money that came out of gold went into silver, but what is clear is that gold ETFs saw heavy liquidation as silver ETFs saw strong inflows. Given that silver tends to benefit from many of the same drivers as gold, it may seem strange that the white metal did not also suffer from weak ETF demand. Brooks explained the situation with the comment, "historically, silver performs very well in an environment of rising growth, certainly outperforming gold in that environment. Recently, most silver investors have been going in more for the metal's cyclical characteristics, not for its alternative currency, store of value characteristics."

Police: DUI suspect asked police to jail him
NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa. (AP) — Police say they had no choice but to grant a man's wish to be taken to jail after they determined he was drunk when he drove off a road an into a field.
The York Dispatch reports 20-year old Noah Julius Jr., of East Berlin, repeatedly asked Fairview Township police to take him to jail after the wreck about 10 p.m. Thursday.
Police say when they asked Julius why he wanted to go to jail he replied, "For driving drunk."
Police say they arrested Julius after he failed a field sobriety test.
Online court records didn't list an attorney for Julius after his latest arrest, but show he's awaiting trial on drunken driving charges filed in May by the Carroll-Franklin police, also in York County.
Why wouldn't he want to go to jail. He will have a nice bed, three meals a day, cable television, and not a worry in the world. His Obama Phone can get smuggled in and he's all set!
He should have just pulled a Sciortino and asked for a ride home. Or should it be called an Assion when the police/sheriff stop a DUI arrest in the middle of the process to chauffeur you home after drinking too much.

So much for all the capital gains and extra dividends in December. My total balance in PTTRX as of today is lesser than in the last one or two weeks. Looks like the rapid rise in yields has already eaten our NAV regardless of extra shares in PTTRX.
It depends on whether you are comparing PTTRX to a stock and you are a young buck or if you are depending on monthly dividends for income in the future. If you are the young buck you should not be counting on short term capital gains. On the other hand if you are retired you want as many shares of PTTRX you can lay your hands onto as it is the NUMBER of shares that will determine your monthly dividend in the coming years. So in the case of retirees or the independantly wealthy you could care less about one month or even one quarter's performance so long as your standard of living is not affected. You need to consider all the possible contingencies that investors may be invested in before you start carping about two weeks performance. For example we got a bunch of extra shares in December have you the foresight to understand the implications of those extra shares on increased dividends through the end of 2013. When you figure that one out let us know if you would still be complaining about two weeks of performance. On the other hand you will notice I have moved out of PTTRX for the short haul and into another fund until after the debt ceiling is resolved as I believe PTTRX has more downside risk than it did as of 31 December 2012. But people familiar with my posts know that I move into and out of PTTRX as risk potentials warrant.
Sentiment: Sell
I tend to agree and sold all my PTTRX yesterday ( actually the sale will be today). I think I'll park it in VFSTX until things settle down. At least I am unlikely to lose much. I think even an intermediate term bond fund like PTTRX is at risk with the specter of rising rates. Time will tell.
I think the stock mkt has more of a chance to go down because the debt ceiling. Not only that, if the Fed does quit QE early as he hinted on Monday, the mkt will drop again.
So, I'm holding for at least 3 more months or until we know for sure congress has the debt ceiling taken care of and Obama agrees with it.
You must be crazy to judge a fund performance comparing 2 week changes.... This is a great long term fund.
Exactly ... so S&P500 was up what? And how much did we PTTRX holders beat that by with the only volitility being the NAV going straight up the entire year while paying dividends? Let's now look at the past 10 years! That would make S&P holders CRY.

Pancreatic Cancer Health Center
Low-Dose Aspirin May Help Ward Off This Cancer
For the study, Risch and colleagues collected data on 362 people with pancreatic cancer and 690 who did not have the disease. Participants were recruited from 30 Connecticut hospitals between 2005 and 2009.
All of the study participants were asked when they began taking aspirin, how much and for how long. The researchers also took into account other factors, such as weight, smoking history and any history of diabetes.
A dose of 75 milligrams to 325 milligrams of aspirin per day was considered low-dose and was usually taken to prevent heart disease. The researchers considered a dose higher than that, usually taken every four to six hours, as regular-dose taken for pain.
The investigators found that the earlier someone started taking low-dose aspirin regularly, the more the risk for pancreatic cancer seemed reduced.
The reduction ranged from 48 percent among those who started three years before the study to 60 percent in those who started taking it 20 years before the study, the researchers said.
However, people who stopped taking aspirin within two years before the study saw their risk for pancreatic cancer increase threefold, compared with those who continued taking aspirin, the authors said.
Dr. Tony Philip, an oncologist at North Shore-LIJ Cancer Institute in Lake Success, N.Y., said, "Pancreatic cancer is not a common cancer, but a deadly one nonetheless."
Over the last several years, more has been learned about the role of inflammation in cancer, he said, and has been well described in colon cancer. There are also ongoing studies looking at the role of anti-inflammatory drugs in reducing recurrence of other types of tumors.
"Much more work needs to be done before we start recommending this [aspirin] to the general population. The next step, which may be harder to do, is to prove cause and effect and figure out who benefits most from this," Philip said.

Ecopsychology: Restoring the Earth, Healing the Mindby Theodore Roszak Mary E. Gomes Allen D. Kanner
"A breakthrough book. It makes crystal clear that the natural world is not just an `environment' around us, but it is us, existing inside our souls and minds."--Jerry Mander "A very exciting book of enormous interest for everyone concerned with the future of our species--environmentalists and legislators, industrialists and educators, you and me. Its message should become part of Western thought."--Jane Goodall --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
The Making of an Elder Cultureby Theodore Roszak
"It is a brilliant and highly original thesis. I commend Roszak for writing the book." - Tom Pochari, World Affairs Monthly"...sense of optimisim that comes out in this book, where Roszak champions the possibility of restoring that lost commitment to the ideals of libertion." Tom HartleyThe Summer of Love. Vietnam. Woodstock. These are the milestones of the baby boomer generation Theodore Roszak chronicled in his 1969 breakthrough book The Making of a Counter Culture. Part of an unprecedented longevity revolution, those boomers form the most educated, most socially conscientious, politically savvy older generation the world has ever seen. And they are preparing for Act Two.The Making of an Elder Culture reminds the boomers of the creative role they once played in our society and of the moral and intellectual resources they have to draw upon for radical transformation in their later years. Seeing the experience of aging as a revolution in consciousness, it predicts an "elder insurgency" where boomers return to take up what they left undone in their youth. Freed from competitive individualism, military-industrial bravado, and the careerist rat race, who better to forge a compassionate economy? Who better positioned not only to demand Social Security and Medicare for themselves, but to champion "Entitlements for Everyone"? Fusing the green, the gray, and the just, Eldertown can be an achievable, truly sustainable future.Part demographic study, part history, part critique, and part appeal, Theodore Roszak's take on the imminent transformation of our world is as wise as it is inspired-and utterly appealing.Theodore Roszak is the author of fifteen books, including the 1969 classic The Making of a Counter Culture. He is professor emeritus of history at California State University, and lives in Berkeley, California.
Where the Wasteland Ends: Politics and Transcendence in Postindustrial Societyby Theodore Roszak
Why the religious renewal is a serious sign of the times, and how a culture of human wholeness can now begin, despite our belated attention to our environment and ecological crises.

("Community Health" or "CYH") (NYSE: CYH) during the period July 27, 2006 through April 11, 2011 ("Class Period").
It has been alleged in a recently-filed complaint that Community Health and certain of its officers and directors made materially false and misleading statements or failed to disclose material information related to Community Health's business and operations in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Sundance Shorts Reviews: 'The Fence,' 'Logorama' and 'Seeds of the Fall'
On Thursday (Jan. 21) night, after more than 30 hours in Park City, Utah, I finally got around to doing a not-so-unusual thing for the Sundance Film Festival: I saw some films.
As Drew McWeeny has already discussed, HitFix is hitting Sundance hard, with five of us on the ground seeing movies, listening to the bands and talking to the stars. As part of our effort to showcase the breadth and depth of the Sundance experience, I'm personally going to be trying to wander off the beaten path, catching as many documentaries and World Cinema offerings as I can. I may not see that many movie and TV stars testing their indie cred, but instead I'll see movies from places like Bolivia. And isn't that what Sundance is really about? I sure hope so.
Kicking things off for my 2010 Sundance experience was the Opening Night presentation of Shorts Program I, featuring Spike Jonze's "I'm Here," Rory Kennedy's "The Fence," François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy and Ludovic Houplain's "Logorama" and Patrik Eklund's "Seeds of the Fall"...
A review of Sundance 2010's Shorts Program I after the break...
Shorts Program I was chosen as part of Sundance's opening night slate because it represents the many sides of the Festival's shorts slate. It includes an American narrative short ("I'm Here"), an American doc short ("The Fence"), an international animated short ("Logorama") and an international narrative short ("Seeds of the Fall"). The official Sundance guide tries to make the argument that the films in Program I are unified by the theme of love. That's ridiculous. They're mostly unified by the aforementioned diversity and being among the longest shorts on that side of the Sundance lineup.
My quick take on the four shorts...
"I'm Here" (dir. Spike Jonze) - Drew is going to do a full-length review of this one and he's also going to spend some quality time with Spike tomorrow. For my part, I'll just say that I found this simple little romance about a pair of socket-faced robots learning about dreams, music and the sacrifices that come with love, to be strangely moving. Think of "I'm Here" as a grown-up version of "Wall-E," filtered through Jonze's particularly twee and whimsical view of the world.
"The Fence" (dir. Rory Kennedy) - Since October of 2006, the United States has poured more than $3 billion into building a 700 mile fence along the Mexican border. Over 36 infuriating, disturbing and morbidly hilarious minutes, Kennedy makes a compelling case that those taxpayer dollars might as well have been thrown in a pile, doused in gasoline and set on fire.
Produced for HBO, "The Fence" unfolds its story starting with the absurdities of the wall itself, with its inexplicable gaps and strange spaces of no man's land, including a golf course that exists in a limbo between the fence and the Rio Grande, a patch of land stuck between the United States and Mexico. That part of the fence's history is played for comedy, with slapstick musical accompaniment.
But Kennedy knows that this isn't entirely a laughing matter, as she also chronicles the environmental damage caused by the fence, as well as the loss of life caused by illegal immigrants forced deeper and deeper into the wilderness to cross the border. It's a national embarrassment, but also a national tragedy.
While you never for a second doubt Kennedy's feelings about immigration in the United States, she has an even hand when placing blame. Yes, George W. Bush is the smirking face signing on for the construction of the fence, but Kennedy doesn't ignore the number of Democrats who voted to fund the project and caved to special interests. The Minuteman groups that forced the politicians into action also get fair-ish treatment, with some members looking like lunatics and others seeming to be *almost* responsible, concerned citizens. Kennedy's thesis is that this fence (and immigration policy in a broader sense) is a fiasco, but pointing fingers isn't productive.
In 36 minutes, it's impossible for Kennedy to take the documentary to the necessary next level and find people offering alternatives to this failed course of action. We get astounding access to Mexican coyotes, who show off their various strategies for smuggling illegals into the country, men who make it clear that no matter how many walls we build, people will get through. So if fences and walls have no impact on terrorism and no impact on illegal immigration and no impact on drug smuggling, obviously they don't work. But what then? "The Fence" doesn't go that far... Still, it's damning and persuasive.
"Logorama" (directors François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy and Ludovic Houplain) - Corporate imagery is everywhere in this French animated hoot, which plays on the conventions of American action films, Roland Emmerich-style disaster films and even "Pulp Fiction," while filling the screen with brand names and mascots.
Ronald McDonald is a dangerous fugitive. The cops are a gang of Michelin men. Mr. Clean is a gay safari tour guide. The Pringles man is a sexual harassing perv. The Jolly Green Giant has jolly giant green censored genitals.
Depending on how you look at it, "Logorama" is either 5000 lawsuits waiting to happen, or else it's three cheeky Frenchmen mocking Western capitalist excess, repurposing the familiar graphics and characters in somewhat the same manner as Andy Warhol used to or Shepard Fairey, who receives a visual shout-out, still does. I'm guessing that copyright laws governing satire probably protect "Logorama," but I'm not sure.
It's audacious and silly, but it's also pretty empty. The directors don't limit themselves merely to tweaking advertising icons, but also movie imagery and sports team mascots. The point about the pervasiveness of mass-produced imagery isn't invalid, but is it so very different in France or Israel or anywhere else in the developed world? What does that have to do with the action conceit or the strange stab at petro-consumerism at the end? After laughing for 10 minutes, I spent the last seven minutes hoping that the short would be tied together by more than just a musical gag that was already used on "The Simpsons."
It was also unclear if anybody in the audience was finding any irony in seeing this movie in the over-branded, exhaustively sponsored marketplace of Sundance.
"Seeds of the Fall" (Patrik Eklund) - A cute dose of Swedish absurdism, as a string of unexpected disasters lead one couple to make an indecent proposal to their neighbors. If the two films in the middle of the program aren't really about love, "Seeds of the Fall" is nice closing compliment to "I'm Here."
It's hard to know what to say about "Seeds of the Fall" (especially at 2 a.m.) other than that Eklund has a terrific eye for comic composition and a wacky sensibility that makes the ending surprisingly sweet.
Bedtime now. I've got a six-movie day scheduled for tomorrow...

As I learned when I joined Seattle Bites Food Tours for a Pike Place Market tour earlier this year, the company makes sure its customers
As I learned when I joined Seattle Bites Food Tours for a Pike Place Market tour earlier this year, the company makes sure its customers are extraordinarily well-fed. My fellow tourgoer and I were overwhelmed by the quantity of food served on the stroll, pitched as a daytime diversion rather than a progressive meal.
But if we'd been able to polish off a sausage sandwich, a pastrami sandwich, a banana Nutella crepe, a bowl of clam chowder, a smoked-salmon flatbread, a plate of chicken tikka masala, multiple bottles of soda, and a side of fruit, we might have been contenders for the company's latest promotional scheme: the "Man vs. Seattle Bites Food Tours" contest on July 22.
Seattle Bites is recruiting an enthusiastic eater to take on I Love NY Deli's Rob Chandler in a "battle of belly capacity." Both competitors will be given 50 minutes to eat as much of the food served on the standard 2.5-hour walking tour as they can.
"It's not whether you can eat all of it," says company owner Mike Breitfuss, pointing out that each competitor will be facing five pounds of food.
Unlike tourgoers, Chandler and his challenger won't be required to walk from vendor to vendor. The food will be presented smorgasbord-style in a single location. "Everyone is going to eat the same food in the same order," Breitfuss explains.
If the challenger outeats Chandler, who "placed second in a chicken-wing contest in New Jersey a couple years ago," Breitfuss is prepared to reward the dethroner with a certificate and two free tour tickets. The winner's picture will also be posted on the Seattle Bites website.
Breitfuss will select the challenger based on "who gets the most excitement from Facebook and Twitter."
"It's going to be a little subjective," Breitfuss says. "We just got into Facebook and Twitter a couple of weeks ago, so we're trying to create a campaign and build awareness of our brand. The idea is just to have some fun."

Mike "Suey" Sulak is the fireman with the meal plan. When he's on duty, Suey does the cooking at Engine House No. 8 on top of Queen Anne. Sometimes, he uses his firehouse family as guinea pigs, testing recipes. One of those recipes grabbed the attention of the judges at a recent contest sponsored by Kidd Valley, a competition Suey won with ingredient heavy patty which includes -- hold onto your helmet -- Third Degee Burn Doritos!
Photo by Leslie Kelly Mike "Suey" Sulak can put out a fire and fry up a mighty fine burger.
SW: Congrats on your victory. Can you talk about your burger or is it a secret recipe?
Suey: I've been playing around with burgers at home - I've got four kids - they love burgers, but I get tired of doing the same-old, same-old. I'm lucky
because I have two places where I can experiment with recipes. My family at home, and my family here at the fire house. I took ground beef and added crushed Third Degree Burn Doritos, then I roast jalapenos and chop those up seeds and all. Roasting them mellows them out a little bit. I dice onions and add garlic salt and Garlic Tabasco sauce, then A-1 and Worchestshire.
SW: Didn't it have something like 28 ingredients?
Suey: Well, 20. But that doesn't count what I put on top of the cooked burger. Oh, and one of my not-so-secret ingredient is this double-smoked bacon I get from a Hungarian butcher in Chicago. I dice that and fry it and add it in. I put pepper jack cheese on top of the patty and then I put the patty on a bun with some ketchup, then I take red onion, tomato and yellow and orange bell pepper rings and then spicy dill pickle slices. And then lettuce. I make a spicy aioli with Habanero Tabasco and mayo and put that on the bun. I use the Kidd Valley buns.
The award-winning burger.
SW:That sounds so good. I want to try one!
Suey:They're going to put my burger on the menu at Kidd Valley (some time next month).
SW: Awesome! The Doritos are a brilliant idea. Any other cooking competitions on the horizon?
Suey: I was kind of hoping to get another shot at this Tabasco cooking competition because I've come up with a couple of desserts. I do a chocolate-filled beignet and add a little of the Habanero Tabasco sauce, mixed with heavy cream. I add a little cinnamon and nutmeg to the chocolate, too. I use peanut oil because you can get it so hot.
SW:Why don't you try out for a reality show, like Throwdown with Bobby Flay?
Suey:Oh no. That's way out of my league. I don't have any formal training. I just like to try new things, experiment. There's one guy in the department, he's been to cooking school in France. I'm just having some fun.
Check back for part two of this week's Grillaxing Q & A for more with award-winning chef Suey.

This reminds me so much of the GenZH menu/shell map. Just prettier.
An expansion/overhaul mod of epic proportions, with entirely rebalanced gameplay, expanded factions, new gametypes, graphical overhauls, and five new factions; stealth-based Confederate Revolutionaries, tower defense-inspired Atomic Kingdom of China, economy-focused Mediterranean Syndicate, DotA-esque Order of the Talon and spammy Electrical Protectorate.

My biggest problem with Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy isn't that he yelled at a newspaper columnist (happens all the time) or that he chose to do it in a public forum (that's his right) or that he made an outrageous fool of himself on TV (been there myself).
My biggest problem is that OSU was off to a terrible start and had just scored a very large Big 12 Conference victory that might play a significant role in turning around the program and competing at least for second place in the Big 12 South and that Gundy chose that time to go after The Oklahoman columnist Jenni Carlson.
What a goof.
Outside Stillwater, Okla., or Lubbock, where a defensive coordinator just lost his job, no one is talking about the Cowboys' 49-45 victory against the Red Raiders. But people from Ontario, Calif., to Ontario, Canada, are laughing at Gundy's tirade on YouTube or any of a number of sports-related shows.
Gundy said his motive was to defend the honor of benched quarterback Bobby Reid, whose toughness was called into question by the columnist. That's reasonable, I guess.
But do it in your Monday news conference after the win. Don't do it after you've just knocked off a worthy opponent on Saturday night, something that doesn't happen all too often in Stillwater.
In case you somehow missed it, Gundy held up a copy of The Oklahoman (a fine product although one no longer enhanced by my work) and went after Carlson's column. He said three-fourths of it was inaccurate although Carlson, to her credit, asked him then and again Monday to point out any errors, which Gundy refused to do.
I can understand his not liking her characterization of Reid, a top recruit who has been a disappointment at OSU. Carlson led her column with the fact Reid was having his mother feed him chicken outside a bus Friday and seemed to think this called the quarterback's toughness into question.
I don't know how that makes a lot of sense, particularly in light of the fact that it's not unusual for very, very tough African-American athletes to have very strong bonds with their mothers.
But beyond that, there was nothing really personal in the column related to Reid.
In general, columnists are more critical of professional than college athletes, and that's the way it should be. But if you're a quarterback at a top college program where fans care as passionately about their teams as the fans of professional clubs (perhaps moreso), then you have reason to expect criticism.
And if you play in Oklahoma or in Alabama where there are no pro teams in the major sports leagues and your schools generate just about all the sporting passion above the high school level in the state, you have reason to expect more criticism.
There's a price that comes with that free ride, and it's understood.
I think some people are bothered by the fact the target of Gundy's venom was a female. That shouldn't be the case. Any columnist who criticizes others is fair game to a response.
And I have to completely disagree with Football Writers Association of America president Mike Griffith, who said Gundy's response "could have been handled in a more private and appropriate manner."
No way. We critique coaches and athletes and we put big, bold headlines on it in the very public forum that is a newspaper or we say it on TV and then when they want to respond, it needs to be handled privately so as not to embarrass us?
Absolutely not. Gundy had the right to respond in front of all those cameras.
That he chose to do it in a way that made him look foolish and that he then refused to take any questions about his team's victory is what stands out in this story.
I can only assume that Gundy knows he has a lot bigger victories coming at Oklahoma State, so there was no real need to give his players any credit for Saturday's win against Texas Tech.
He can save that for victories over Texas and Oklahoma, I guess.
Again, he's clearly just thinking of his players.

Earthquake scientists tracking the fracking
Ties go to the runner in baseball. Assumptions about nature, when apparently tied, should go to nature. Unless proven otherwise.
This is the heart of the discussion on whether the largest recorded earthquake in Oklahoma history was manmade rather than an act of nature. Some believe that oil and gas exploration activity in the area of the epicenter caused the quake. That's an assumption, as is the belief that earthquakes are natural phenomena always caused by nature and never by mankind.
We subscribe to the view that in the absence of compelling evidence that a natural phenomenon was caused by human activity, we should assume it was caused by nature. But we live in a time when science-based policymaking is highly politicized and a portion of mankind dislikes humanity to the point of suspecting that many "natural" events (such as hurricanes) are the unnatural result of people.
When hydraulic fracturing unleashed an enormous reserve of hydrocarbons, environmentalists were quick to unfurl claims of frack-related water pollution, followed by claims of frack-related air pollution. The key concern about fracking among environmentalists isn't the alleged pollution itself but the gigantic leap in proven reserves, which means many years of relatively cheap, relatively plentiful fossil fuels.
Seismic science enters the picture with academic claims that an increase in Oklahoma earthquake activity last year was related to oil and gas exploration. Specifically, the Nov. 5, 2011 quake epicentered in the Prague area was "likely triggered" by a byproduct of fracturing. That's the finding of a University of Oklahoma seismologist, who was not the only one to come to that conclusion.
But the Oklahoma Geological Survey's Austin Holland plays the role of an umpire in saying, "Our position is that until you can prove that it's not a natural earthquake, you should assume it's a natural earthquake."
Well said. Tie goes to the runner.

Update: McGinn spokesperson Aaron Pickus sent an e-mail saying that senior-level positions are being cut. Details below the jump.
If you skim through the Arts, Culture and Recreation section of Mayor Mike McGinn's proposed budget--where he plans to drop the most pink slips--you'll find librarians, secretaries, and janitors losing their jobs. In one page on the Parks and Recreation section, McGinn eliminates five maintenance workers, four painters, two metal fabricators, a carpenter, a drainage worker, an electrician, and an interdepartmental delivery driver. Only one person on that page carries the designation "strategic advisor."
Seems McGinn is backtracking on a campaign promise to let the axe fall most heavily on that last category.Strategic advisors, and a few similarly classified positions at City Hall, are non-unionized jobs for which the mayor, or other department heads, can hire and fire at will. In some cases the positions can be filled without going through any kind of formal process--like posting the job opening so the general public can apply--so they are often considered political appointees.
While running for office, McGinn slammed then-Mayor Nickels for ballooning the number of strategic advisors and similarly classified employees in his administration from 241 in 2001 to 431 in 2008. McGinn said that if elected, he would "dramatically reduce the number of political appointees."
When he first came into office, McGinn proposed doing just that--saying he would cut 200 senior-level positions. But amid a public backlash from city employees, he backed down.
Now McGinn is proposing to cut 294 positions, 214 of which are filled. But if the parks budget is any indication, its not the advisors who are getting the bulk of the pink slips.
The mayor's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the matter.
Pickus pointed to the Mayor's budget overview which states that 64 of the total 294 positions the mayor proposes to cut are "senior level" employees. That number includes strategic advisors, managers, and executive appointees.
"We will continue to work to reduce the number of these positions in the future," Pickus adds.

I came off birth control on 09/08 (about a month ago) and had a BFN at 10 dpo and at 12 dpo. I tested this morning at 13 dpo and still got a BFN but I believe I had implantation bleeding today! I will test again in a few days but there is still hope!
