VIDEO: Kentucky fan makes a hype video
Memorial Day weekend is typically a slow time for sports news, so over the weekend, the CBT crew has been discussing fan videos and songs.
If you're not familiar, a lot of programs have fans that are so passionate, that they create something as tribute for their programs. This stuff tends to happen in the offseason.
Take this 12-minute video a Kentucky fan made that was posted by Kentucky Sports Radio's Drew Franklin yesterday as an example:
Twelve minutes is a staggering amount for a video like this, but it captures multiple seasons and even goes into the future.
Not bad.
But it definitely doesn't beat this Villanova song released by MRG after the Wildcats' NCAA tournament run.
So now that we've seen the baseline for videos and songs, do any other fanbases have anything better in them this summer? There's still a lot of time until college hoops begins next season and there are plenty of fans who can jump in with a submission.
Throughout the summer, we'll post the best fan submissions on CBT (as long as they're clean and original) and see which group of fans has the best at the end of it all.
Canisius finds a new head coach following Jim Baron's retirement
Canisius has found a new head coach following the retirement of Jim Baron, as the Griffins have hired former Buffalo coach Reggie Witherspoon, according to a report from Mark Gaughan of the Buffalo News.
The 55-year-old Witherspoon was formerly the head coach at Buffalo from December 1999 until after the 2012-13 season and was recently an assistant coach at Alabama and Chattanooga the past two seasons.
During his time at Buffalo, Witherspoon went 197-225 while making four postseason appearances. He takes over a Canisius program that went 14-19 and 8-12 in the MAAC last season.
As a Buffalo native who has coached in the area as a high school, junior college and Division I head coach, Witherspoon should be familiar with the landscape of being a basketball coach in that city. It's hard to say if Witherspoon can lead Canisius to prominence at this stage in his career, but he'll certainly know the area enough to hit the ground running.
UNC's Roy Williams recovering from knee replacement surgery
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) North Carolina Hall of Fame men's basketball coach Roy Williams is recovering from knee replacement surgery.
In an email Friday, athletics spokesman Steve Kirschner says Williams is "resting comfortably" after the procedure on his right knee performed by Dr. Walt Beaver in Charlotte. Kirschner says there's no exact recovery timetable but Williams is expected to be on the road for July recruiting "as usual."
The 65-year-old Williams had procedures on both knees last year but experienced discomfort during the season as the Tar Heels won the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season and tournament titles before losing in the NCAA title game on a last-second shot to Villanova.
A week later, Williams said he was considering surgery options for a "bone-on-bone" condition and noted: "I've got to be able to move around."
Utah to play rival BYU in basketball again in 2017
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Utah will play rival BYU in basketball again in 2017 in a game that will end a "cooling off period" Utah demanded due to events at recent games.
Utah said in a news release Thursday that the two schools have agreed to play in 2017 at BYU. The school's athletic directors are talking about scheduling future games.
The decision to cancel the rivalry upset BYU and ignited a controversy that lit up sports talk radio and triggered legislators to order a state audit of Utah athletics. The game had been played every year since 1909 except for during World War II.
Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said in January that the rivalry had become a "venomous and toxic environment." BYU guard Nick Emery was ejected from December's game for punching Utah's Brandon Taylor.
Looking Forward: Defense will help Arizona sort out loaded rotation
The NBA Draft's Early Entry Deadline has come and gone. Just about every elite recruit has decided where they will be playing their college ball next season. The coaching carousel, which ended up spinning a bit faster than initially expected, has come to a close for all of the major programs.
In other words, by now, we have a pretty good feel for what college basketball is going to look like during the 2016-17 season. With that in mind let's take a look at Arizona, an elite program that reloads with designs on erasing the bad memories of last year's first round NCAA tournament exit.
After going on a two-year run in which they went 67-9, won two Pac-12 regular season titles and made two Elite Eight appearances, Arizona took a step back in 2015-16. Sean Miller's Wildcats saw their grip on the Pac-12 loosen, with Oregon taking advantage, and their NCAA tournament stay was a short one thanks to a tough Wichita State team. Many programs would sign up for a season that included 25 wins despite injuries to freshmen Ray Smith (torn ACL) and Allonzo Trier (broken hand).
But Arizona isn't your "run of the mill" program, which is a testament not only to what the retired Lute Olson accomplished during his time in Tucson but to what Sean Miller's managed to do as well. Since his arrival Miller's pumped new life into the program, with Arizona racking up highly regarded recruiting classes and the wins to match.
All that's missing from his time at Arizona is a trip to the Final Four, an accomplishment Arizona hasn't been able to boast since 2001. And after last year's disappointing finish, Arizona's work on the recruiting trail in the spring has them in a position where they can get that done. There's talent, depth and versatility on the roster heading into the 2016-17 season, with some key returnees being joined by one of the nation's best recruiting classes.
And with that will come an important question for the Wildcats: how will they sort everything out from a rotation standpoint?
Competition within the ranks is hardly a bad thing; "as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." The same can be said for versatility, which will be another positive trait for Arizona in 2016-17. At first glance the roster has just two players seemingly locked into one specific position: Parker Jackson-Cartwright at point guard and Dusan Ristic at center. Outside of that, Arizona boasts a host of players capable of filling multiple spots based upon the desires of their head coach and the flow of the game.
The front court includes a mobile 7-footer in sophomore Chance Comanche, who managed to earn more consistent appearances down the stretch thanks to his activity on the defensive end of the floor. Newcomers in Lauri Markkanen and Keanu Pinder who can fill multiple roles in the front court, with Markannen's ability to step out and hit perimeter shots being especially key, and the same can be said of the talented Smith provided there are no lingering effects from his second ACL tear in as many years.
With the injury and the time away from live action Smith will likely have some rust to shake off, but this is something Arizona can work through given their depth. There's role versatility and this sets up to be a more mobile group defensively as well, which can only help the Wildcats moving forward.
The bigger area for Arizona from an options standpoint is on the perimeter, as they're loaded with established returnees and high-caliber newcomers. And with the players available, how everything shakes out with regards to roles and minutes that come with them will be very interesting to watch. Trier's back after a successful freshman season in which he averaged 14.6 points per game and shot 46.6 percent from the field, and with his ability to attack defenses off the dribble he'll figure prominently in the Arizona rotation again in 2016-17.
Also returning are Kadeem Allen and Parker Jackson-Cartwright, who shared the point guard duties with Allen getting the starting nod thanks in large part to his ability on the defensive end of the floor. Losing Gabe York, who was second on the team in scoring and Arizona's best three-point shooter a season ago, can't be overlooked. But with the additions to the program, Arizona can more than account for the production lost there.
Last year Trier was the Wildcat best capable of attacking defenses off the bounce, but even with the relative "lack" of such options Arizona still managed to average 80 points per game and shoot 48 percent from the field. Things will be a bit different in 2016-17, thanks to factors such as the loss of York and Ryan Anderson and the fact that they'll have more players capable of breaking down opponents off the dribble. Freshmen Kobi Simmons, Rawle Alkins and Terrance Ferguson can all create shots via dribble penetration, with Ferguson also being one of the top shooters in the class of 2016.
But could this turn out to be a case of having too much of a good thing? While considered a point guard, Simmons proved to be better at getting himself looks than doing so for others, and Alkins was also considered to be a "ball dominant" guard at the high school level. How will that change at the college level, and how will the pieces fit together within Arizona's rotation?
These are important questions to address, and how Arizona can do that is on the defensive end of the floor.
After two straight seasons of producing defenses that ranked in the top three in the country in adjusted defensive efficiency per Ken Pomeroy's numbers (first in 2014, third in 2015), Arizona was ranked 41st in that category last season. After two consecutive seasons of limiting teams to less than 40 percent shooting from the field, Arizona allowed teams to shoot 41.3 percent in 2015-16. Also of concern was the turnover department, with teams committing an average of just 11.4 per game against the Wildcats last season.
By comparison, those two Elite Eight teams managed to force an average of 13.8 turnovers per game in 2013-14 and 12.4 per contest in 2014-15. The pack line defense isn't one that people would necessarily categorize as a "pressure" system, but one of the strengths for Arizona during those two Elite Eight runs was having athletic options on the wings who can make life difficult for passers and the players looking to receive those passes. That wasn't the case last season, but it may not be a problem in 2016-17 thanks to the roster additions.
Ferguson's athleticism is noted above, and he's also a long-armed player who more than holds his own defensively. Alkins also has the physical tools needed to cause trouble on the wing, which will give Arizona a good shot at playing defense at the level we grew accustomed to seeing them reach.
Physical tools aside, there's always the "carrot" of playing time to dangle in front of the players. When discussing the adjustment process for freshmen many rush to the offensive end, and that's understandable to a certain extent. But the biggest adjustment comes on the other end of the floor, and being able to prove that you can defend your position and carry out the team's defensive game plan.
Arizona will certainly have offensive talent across the board next season. But the reason why they can rebound from last season and possibly reach the Final Four is the fact that some of that talent will make a difference defensively as well.

I believe most of the complaints I am getting about lost or broken functionality are based on a series of AJAX issues with 4.0.1 which are all slated to be fixed in the next patch that should be released on the 4th of February. I'm holding out for that patch before I do any major code digging since its so close.
I'm also going without the paypal donation system because it hasn't been updated to be compatible with 4 yet. If you feel an overwhelming urge to donate though you can donate to the paypal account which is firstname.lastname@example.com
I'll of course keep you posted.
Most of the graphics issues for the upgrade have all been worked through, and I'm currently quite pleased with the way the site looks. I hope you all are too. There's still more work to be done of course, but its coming along. Thank you all again for your continued encouragement and participation and most of all patience.

Welcome to CG Matty, seems you're off to a good start with nice and clean coastlines
Hello Cartographer's Guild! So I found out about this challenge through the DF dev blog. As a DF player with some creative skill to burn, I thought I'd give it a shot.
From the main map, I'm cropping a section of it. I'll use Dwarf Fortress' map export tools to tell me which settlements trade with which others, to help create a map of a localised set of trade routes.

Welcome to CG Matty, seems you're off to a good start with nice and clean coastlines
Ooooh, nice! Another good entry a-startin'...
Thanks for the warm welcome you two.
Wee update with style for labels. I'm wondering whether I should stick solely to the generator's names or make up my own; it can come up with some really silly things like a brook named 'Littlespasm'.
Sticking some rough notes written in Tolkien Dwarf runes in there too, as if the map is used both by human and dwarf traders who.
### Latest WIP ###
Setting up mountain ranges and looking into the style for them.
Looks nice...Though the label is way too big and not very legible.
Hand-drawn mountains? Kudos! I like that compass design too. You might size down the title label (if it is a title label) and place it under the compass, or in the top left corner? Maybe not, but it does seem quite large for the image.
Thanks! The label is for the region names, but in light of these recent comments I'm most likely going to rework it, make it less imposing, probably change it from blackletter to a serif font maybe.
I kind of like that label the way it is. (Well, maybe a little smaller. ) Those mountains look GREAT.

Our new Gauge Console range is headed by this Apeks designed and manufactured, stylish piece of dive equipment. Every detail has been carefully considered to offer divers a comfortable, compact and functional information system.
All instruments give accurate, clear readings and are made from the best quality build materials. As such they offer perfect functionality and excellent robustness. In essence the 2+1 Instrument Combo is an Apeks 2 Gauge Console with our unique Compass on the reverse. A compact system which we believe is the best Combo set available anywhere in the world.
For details about the Pressure (contents) gauge and depth gauge please refer to the information about our 2 Gauge Console.
The quality of our compass is high, as you would expect from Apeks. But it is also unique. Have you ever wondered why one has to twist around the wrist to view the side sight window of normal compasses? We have, which is why we offer the Apeks compass with 2 side sight windows so that divers can use this in either left hand or right hand configuration as a natural extension of the hand. The optimum angled view windows make the compass much more comfortable to use. Once you have used the compass in this way you will never be satisfied with any other version.
The luminous dial with a vivid and clear display makes quick work of compass direction even in poor visibility conditions. The Console is compact, but still has a large display enhancing your diving experience. The ratchet bezel is robust and can be rotated with ease even with thick neoprene gloves. The numbers and directions on the bezel are large and very easy to read.

KENT ISLAND, Md. (WUSA9) -- A two car crash in Md. has left four best friends dead.
The accident occurred at approximately 4:30 p.m. today on Kent Island, Md. at Cox Neck Road and Jones Road. A Volkswagen sedan and a Ford Focus were barely recognizable as they were loaded on to a flat bed and taken away.
Eighteen-year-old Cory Passagno of Chester, 19-year-old Michael John Ringenbach of Stevensville, 18-year-old Harrison Rhodes Smith of Chester and 19-year-old Tyler Elzey of Chester were all killed, say authorities.
"They all reside in Queen Anne's County here on Kent Island. I believe all 4 of them may have gone to school together at Kent Island High School," said Dale Patrick at the Queen Anne's County Sheriff's Office.
One of them was a volunteer firefighter with the Kent Island fire department, the same group of rescuers who were first on the scene.
The only survivor was the driver of a Ford Focus. Seventy-three-year-old Eli Dabich Jr., a professor at the Naval Academy, was taken to Shock Trauma, according to police and WJZ.
Special crash reconstruction investigators are working to determine what led up to the deadly wreck, but in the meantime preliminary clues are pointing detectives in one direction.
The preliminary investigation indicates the Volkswagen driver's speed may have been a factor, say sheriff's office authorities.
Kent Island is a small bedroom community out on this part of the Eastern Shore. The news of the horrible wreck spread quickly and immediately debased the community.

The cell tower industry has suggested 1-2 million new Cellular antennas will be built across the US in the next couple years due to the explosion of smart phones and smart machines. That is 20-40,000 per State. This is going to have a huge impact on Michigan communities.During the Michigan Municipal League's 2012 Convention taking place October 3-5 on Mackinac Island, there will be a session showing municipalities how to obtain market rates for community-owned cell towers, buildings and water towers while protecting the community from the regulatory Pitfalls.This session, titled "New State and Federal Cell Tower Laws: Gaining the Revenues without Regulation Risks," is presented by Miller & VanEaton and Kitch, Drutchas, Wagner, Valitutti & Sherbrook as part of a series of vendor-sponsored workshops taking place at this year's Convention. Other vendor-sponsored sessions are on placemaking, health care reform, and building today's infrastructure for tomorrow. In addition, the League's Anthony Minghine will have a session on solutions to the many financial and other challenges communities are faced with today.Check out the full Convention agenda and more detailed list of topics to be discussed, including a discussion on some of the controversial ballot issues that may appear on the November ballot, new laws regarding cell towers, how to secure grant funding for your community, how governments can address illegal drugs in their communities, collaborative innovation by Jeff DeGraff, walkable urbanism from Chris Leinberger, how to build resilient communities by Chuck Marohn, thinking global for local issues by Clarence Anthony, using art and creativity to drive our state forward by Jennifer Goulet, local finance issues and strategies, and community design and sustainability.

One of the most sensational models that ever was: Gemma Ward floated onto the catwalks in 2003 (as a Prada exclusive, no less) and changed the game. She was followed by an endless stream of babydoll-faced models like Vlada Roslyakova, Heather Marks, Lily Cole, and Lisa Cant, all with wideset eyes, narrow jaws and tip-tilt pouts. None of them had quite the alien beauty and ethereal poise of Gemma, who went on to be the face of Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, YSL, Valentino, Louis Vuitton… She quit modeling in 2009 (though she's rumored to return) after dominating the decade and making a permanent mark on fashion.

On this week's show, columnist Berry Tramel joins us in studio to chat about the Thunder's biggest disappointment over the past couple weeks, who everybody likes coming out of the West and whether Darnell will ever change his tune when it comes to Steven Adams' potential role this season.
Thunder Buddies 10/16 - Is Kevin Durant the MVP favorite heading into the season? Is OKC's recent three-point struggles a cause for concern? Will Darnell ever give Jamal Crawford and the Clippers the rightful praise they deserve? We explore all that in more in our second episode.
Thunder Buddies: 10/9 - In our initial show, we discuss the Thunder's recent overseas preseason trip, what we learned and what we've still yet to find out. Also, we throw out some intriguing Thunder-related over/unders before both giving our most overrated team for the upcoming NBA season.

This week IBM kicked off the Impact conference from May 3 - 8 in
Two key announcements:
-New IBM Appliance Delivers Enterprise Cloud Services
Social media: Live buzz, broadcasting, and games
Twitter is filled with excitement on the conference. Follow @smartsoa and @sandycarter and use the #ibmimpact tag to track all the great activity. You can also follow broadcasting of the keynote and some of our most popular sessions.
The Impact conference is using social media in some of the most creative ways I've seen at IBM yet! They have a cool social media game where you can earn points for participating in Twitter, blogs, videos, etc. Hmm, I wonder how many points I can earn? Check out these links to learn more:
IBM Service Management activities at Impact
IBM Service Management is a big theme at the conference since Smart SOA makes business processes easy to change, but those changes create the demand for a Dynamic Infrastructure to be adaptive and support those business processes. IBM Service Management anticipates how business processes shift their pressures on the infrastructure, enabling the infrastructure to adapt quickly while enabling smart choices for a smarter world.
As Robert LeBlanc said at Pulse 2008, you can have Service Management without SOA, but you can't have SOA without Service Management. Al Zollar, IBM General Manager of Tivoli Software, will give a keynote on May 5 during the Impact general session, discussing how a smarter planet requires a dynamic infrastructure based on IBM Service Management capabilities. Expect to hear announcements on
IBM Service Management has the following activities at Impact:
18 IBM Service Management experts and executives will be available for one-on-one meetings with clients.

I don't care.
With all of the "this guy is running for President" talk and with all of the trips these people will be taking to Iowa, I thought a simple political question was in order.
Are you a Republican, Democrat, other, or don't care?
If you are into politics at all, you know that Iowa has a HUGE say in the two presidential candidates who will represent each party. Your Iowa caucus vote will have infinitely times more impact that your general election vote.
The poll isn't necessarily designed to start a big debate, rather just to get a feel for the political make-up of a message board.

Consider me one of the "I don't care" folks. I used to eat up politics at a faster rate than linemen eat twinkies.
But the mud slinging is what chased me away. If I wanted to watch mud-slinging - I'd locate myself a nice co-ed mud wresting match, get a bean-bag and some Cheetos. But that's another story...
If I were to be labeled, I'd gravitate closer to the Republican end - yet I consider myself an independent American over any political affiliation.
I don't like to be pegged as being associated with one party or the other either. Although, I tend to side with the Dems. I wouldn't have any problem voting a Republican for Pres if it was the right Candidate. McCain has a lot of appeal to me, for example.
ISU Grad 1997.
ISU Fan for Life.
Not in CO anymore but I'm not changing my name :)
I see no valid argument FOR the party system anymore. If every politician were able to think for themselves, as opposed to being pressured to vote on party lines, we would be a lot better off! That's my take on politics...
Same here. I'm in the "I don't care" crowd. Probably more of the "no affiliation" crowd.
Used to be one of those schmucks who just regurgitated what the Republican leaders would say, regardless of what was said. But W and the recent leadership has really changed my position on that. I just can't support alot of what they do and say. At the same time, I probably shake my head just as much, if not more whenever I hear Pelosi, Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy and Harkin yapping at a microphone.
So I'm more of the independent mindset with conservative leanings. Unfortunately, that opens you up to all kinds of harrassment because the political parties seem to view you as virgin recruiting territory.....

I'm like the both you. I was big into politics listened to Rush, Sean, and Drudge on a regular basis, believed everything they said, blah blah, blah, but something happened after the 2004 elections that turned me off to politics and haven't followed it since.

Registered independent. Not a Republican but definitely not a Democrat. I hate the party system also. The Democratic platform, at this point, seems very close to socialism.
I guess I should have said which party do you associate or side with more often.
I call myself a republican although many of my traditional republican values are long gone...where did fiscal responsibility go?
There are many republican candidates I wouldn't vote for...McCain being one of them.
Link Check this survey out it is pretty interesting. I consider myself a moderate republican but actually ended up on the left upper quadrant, not a bad place to be but probably at odds with the GOP's base.
On a side note: How funny is it that the 2 things our parents told us not to discuss in casual company are hot topics today on CF. Religion and Politics. LOL
If you talk strictly Iowa politics I always find it hard to vote for Iowa Republicans. And this from a guy who leans big time that way. What a messed up party the Republicans are in this state.
On the flip side I NEVER cast a vote for any Polk County Democrat. Why? Witness CIETC. My 'boycott' predates CIETC, but it shows clearly what happens when EITHER party controls an area of government for too long.
This country needs a third party to unite the middle 60% of us!!
I'm a registered Democrat, but, have voted for just one since 1980. Like most responders, I think both parties provide reason to opt out, which I'd do, but, I fear that would leave one extreme or the other in charge.
Weve got a pretty good football conference, and weve got a pretty good conference overall. Were still walking around with our heads held high and our chest out, about that. Paul Rhoads
I'm registered Independent because I don't like party afiliation so I am not eligible to vote in the primaries. I'll vote for the best candidate (if there is such a thing anymore) regardless of party. My political views tend to learn more to the conservative side of the scale though.
Any more it's who is less full of BS when it comes to these races. Seems like there is always some kind of dirt on everyone that runs and what they actually do once elected to what they promised in their campaign is never the same. I can see why some people don't even bother to vote anymore.
Rush and Hannity are two talking heads that just make my skin crawl. Every now and then I'll stumble over to WHO (can't stand Rome on KXNO) and listen to him - on the whole for about 30 seconds. Are there two more people more full of themselves than Hannity and Limbaugh? Maybe O'Reilly, but I kind of like his (tv) show.
I haven't ever listened to Drudge, but I have heard good things. Another that I hear good things about is Glen Beck, but I haven't heard him either.
Actually, I can't stand most of the personalities. They end up being overly engrossed with their own opinions and end up being spiteful, that it's hard to use it as a forum to form your own opinion. And that's the problem with politics today. No open exchange of ideas. Just partisan wrangling.
I pay attention only enough to keep track of what's generally going on. More troops going, tax cuts or hikes coming, cut backs here or there. Anything beyond that (the how's or why) is just maddening.
INdependent I would call myself. Although I think Tom Harkin is the biggest idiot in the whole world.
He is trying to get illigal immigrants in-state tuition to our university's.
So let me get this straight Harkin. If your illegal from Mexico you pay instate. However if your legal from Illinois you have to pay out of state. Yeah that makes sense.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Investigators in Nebraska say a 10-year-old boy helped keep his father alive for more than a week after the man slipped at their Lincoln home.
The boy told the investigator his father had fallen on a wet floor more than a week before, striking his head. The boy says he gave his father fluids and food.
The investigator says in a court affidavit that the father's eyes were open but he couldn't answer questions. He's been taken to a Lincoln hospital, while his son is in state custody.

text: Dilbert: speechless Dilbert 05 August 09 by Brian Raftery This article was taken from the September issue of Wired UK magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing onlineThe rules changed all the time, sometimes day to day, sometimes hour to hour - and whenever he tried to recite them, people thought, "This guy is nuts." The rules dictated when and where Scott Adams, chief engineer of the Dilbert comic empire, was allowed to speak. He could neither control them nor predict exactly when they'd go into effect. All he knew was that he'd woken up one morning and found that his voice had turned against him, imposing a set of bizarre restrictions.Take the rule about crowds: if Adams was at a party with friends, he'd open his mouth to talk, only to find the words tumbling out in a raspy, imperceptible staccato, chopping off sentences before they had a chance to form. If he tried to say, "Tomorrow is my birthday," for example, it would morph into a weak, "Ma robf sss ma birfday." But if he was on the lecture circuit, delivering a prepared speech to a crowd of thousands, he could stand behind the podium and his voice would whir back to life, if only for the hour he was on stage. There was also the rule about being alone. Adams might be sitting at the desk in his Bay Area office in California, working on a new Dilbert strip, when suddenly he'd be able to form words. He'd call out to others in the house - "I can talk!" - but the moment somebody stepped into the room, his voice evaporated.Then there was the rule about the rules themselves. For some reason, if Adams were to explain his condition to you, his speech would suddenly become clear and strong. Change the topic, however, and his voice would jumble again. But if you were to place a video camera in front of him and have him talk into it - well, in that case, he could be relatively lucid about anything.That one still baffles him.The rules took effect in April 2005, while the 48-year-old Adams was on holiday in San Diego with then-girlfriend (now wife) Shelly Miles and her two kids. One day, he woke up with what felt like severe laryngitis. He'd suffered from allergies for years, and he had similar throat issues almost every spring."Not a big deal," he thought, shrugging it off.He returned home to Dublin, California, a well-behaved suburb 35 miles east of San Francisco. Days passed, then weeks, but Adams still couldn't summon his voice. His doctors examined him for bronchitis and polyps - and any other condition they could think of - but were unable to find the cause. A psychologist checked him for signs of a breakdown, because what else could it be? She offered him anti-anxiety medication; Adams declined.Meanwhile, his speech was getting worse. What began as a hoarse whisper devolved into a string of garbled, phonetic shards that sounded as if he was talking through a dying cell phone. During the day, it wasn't much of a problem - Adams was used to spending long hours alone, drawing in his home office. When he stepped outside, though, he had to live by the rules. Whatever jokes or quips popped into his head were stuck there. And without knowing where his voice had gone - and with no way of knowing how to get it back - Adams felt as though he were floating around the edges of the room, watching conversations pass right by him."I'm a ghost," he'd think. Adams couldn't live like this. He was a cartoonist, but also an engineer, and both fields have a tendency to attract stubborn people who are immune to rejection and who disregard obstacles. To Adams, his voice was just a problem in need of fixing. Years ago, when his career was first getting started, he came to rely on daily affirmations. He decided that in order to manifest his goals, he simply needed to keep repeating them. In 1983, while readying himself for business school, his credo was: "I, Scott Adams, will score in the 94th percentile on my GMATs [Graduate Management Admission Test]." He scored in the 94th percentile. Five years later, just before selling Dilbert, it was: "I, Scott, will become a syndicated cartoonist." Now he constructed a new affirmation, one that played in his head all day: "I, Scott, will speak perfectly." Read page 2 1234 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

There's some serious sports marketing goin' on, people. Recently, the ordinarily aggressive Aussie Lleyton Hewitt appeared in Women's Weekly and showed us a loving, affectionate husband and doting father.
Now, World No. 1 Justine Henin takes her turn on the "spin" machine. Gone is the stone-cold stare and rigid posture. Looking relaxed, her petite face made up, her outfit styled out, and sporting Jessica Simpson style hair extensions, Henin is the picture of cosmopolitan cool.
But, we're not completely convinced. We could've done without the pseudo-seductive stare from the bed. But it's a nice change for the usually reserved Belgian.
These recent image makeovers beg the question: who should be next? My vote goes to Svetlana Kuznetsova, hands down. (images courtesy of Tennis Served Fresh)

OMG - so funny! I know, right? What was she thinking...we must send in a stylist stat!ReplyDelete

I think that here Justine looks much better than usually. As for Svetlana, I agree with Erwin, although I would add that it wasn't that bad for a temporary change.ReplyDelete
I thought it was funny when Sveta talked about how the Williams sisters would give her tips on how to take care of the braids. She also asked them if it's supposed to hurt so much - maybe that's why she's making that face in your post Erwin!ReplyDelete
I agree Marija I think Justine looks good but I didn't like all the posing and definitely not the shot on the bed. It looks like they were trying to hard.
How about Sveta doing the shot on the bed?ReplyDelete
I think it could work...

Tallahassee, Fla. -- A Tallahassee man will spend the next 30 years in prison for trying to kill his old roommate.
Stoney Glenn was sentenced this morning for shooting his former roommate in the parking lot of the Westview Apartments last April 2012.
Arrest reports say the victim was trying to sell him some furniture to avoid being evicted.
Prosecutors say Glenn shot the man right in the belly button and the bullet hole was still steaming when paramedics arrived.
The victim survived and testified against Glenn.

Tallahassee, Fla. -- On Tuesday, April 10, 2012, Tallahassee police officers were called to 812 Richmond Street, in reference to a shooting.
TPD's Criminal Investigation Division and the Forensic Unit responded to the location and assumed responsibility of the investigation. Further analysis of the crime scene revealed there was an altercation in which shots were fired. The victim sustained injuries and was transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital for treatment. Follow up discovered Stoney
Glenn was the suspect and warrants were issued for Attempted Murder and Possession of a Firearm by Convicted Felon.
Today at about 6:15 a.m., the Tallahassee Police Department Career Criminal Unit and United States Marshal's Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force apprehended Stoney Glenn at 1700 Joe Louis Street for the two outstanding warrants. Glenn was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Leon County Jail.
A copy of the warrant is attached to this release.

April 11, 2012, 7 p.m.
Tallahassee Police say they have not been able to speak to the man who was shot because he is still recovering from surgery.
Residents at the Westview Apartments are anxious to find out more about who was shot and why.
"First I heard a gunshot when I was watching tv and I didn't know what it was. Then I went out on my balcony to smoke a cigarette and I saw a guy like, laying down," said resident John Hoy. "He'd, I guess, been shot. There was a guy next to him in handcuffs."
A TPD spokesman says no one has been arrested in connection with the shooting. He is not releasing any more information about the victim or his condition.

April 11, 2012, 12 p.m.
Tallahassee, Fla. -- Police are looking for a suspect involved in a shooting that sent a man to the hospital. It happened last night around 6:30 at the Westview Apartments on Richmond Street in Tallahassee.
When police arrived, they found a man in the parking lot with a gunshot wound. Officers believe he was taken to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. They've been sweeping the area for clues and ask for patience.
"You can imagine that if it's a scene that happened outdoors foot traffic people in the area cars coming and going that will destroy any evidence that are there. so they've cornered off the entire area and they're going to search the entire area looking for any type of evidence that they can find that's connected to this case," says Officer Dave Northway with the Tallahassee Police Department.
One person who lives in one of the neighboring apartments said he heard the gunshot, but he didn't want to talk on camera because of how close he lives to the scene.
