A little bit of this, and a lot of that, while wondering, does anyone give out popcorn balls on Halloween any more?:
Relax, the crash heard Saturday afternoon was nothing to be alarmed about. It was simply the Red Raider roller-coaster careening off the tracks, cars piled in a heap and passengers staggering out in all the smoke.
No casualties. Just a 34-7 loss to Missouri, the same Missouri team that had lost three in a row, and was shut out last week by Kansas, 21-0.
It's hard to fathom the inconsistency of Tech. It's simply unbelievable. We'll leave that to a team of psychologists.
Lose to lowly North Texas, beat No. 5 Texas A&M. Lose to Oklahoma State by 23, beat Colorado by 21. Throw a win over Baylor out of the mix because the Bears are so bad, and then lose to Missouri by 27. That, by the way, was the Tigers' first Big 12 Conference win.
If nothing else, the Missouri loss ended the charade of being stamped a contender for the Big 12 South Division title. Which is harder to understand - a team, average at best, that manages to rout Colorado and edge A&M, or a talented team that can lose to North Texas, and get hammered by OSU and Missouri?
It's ridiculous.
It used to be so easy to despise the Yankees. First of all, they're from New York, which should be enough. New York arrogance, New York attitude. How can any- one root for a team where the majority of its fans have been or will be in a police lineup?
Then there was Steinbrenner, Reggie Jackson, et al. Not exactly a lot of warmth. And the Yankees' incredible wealth could simply buy them into contention. The old saying was rooting for the Yankees was like rooting for General Motors.
But what's not to like about the current Yankees? Show me one jerk on the team, one lout, one loudmouth. Fact is, there aren't any. Two players - Paul O'Neill and Scott Brosius - lost their fathers during the season, O'Neill the night before World Series Game 4. And manager Joe Torre, who had his own battle this year with prostate cancer, is about as classy and humble as they come.
It's a great team without tremendous stars that rises to the moment.
On the Jim Gray-Pete Rose matter, Gray's only error was his persistence in his line of questioning. Ask the gambling/apology question at the end of the interview once, maybe rephrase it after Rose's dodge around the question, but don't keep hammering when it's obvious Rose isn't going to say anything new.
Primarily, the interview was such a shock because the viewing public is used to "sideline reporters" tossing out softball questions. Ahmad Rashad, Michael Jordan's golfing buddy and personal lackey, saying, "How's it going, big guy?" is usually about par for the course.
But let's not make too much of a sympathetic figure out of Rose. He disgraced the game, disgraced himself, and has shown no remorse in the last 10 years for his actions. In fact, he's basically thumbed his nose at baseball officials.
Yet the evidence in the Dowd report that he bet on baseball, and on the Reds, who he managed at the time, has been called "overwhelming." Three baseball commissioners wouldn't even consider lifting his lifetime ban from the game.
But just because he could hit singles and hustled to first base on a walk seems to excuse his actions in a lot of people's eyes.
Did you catch Chad Curtis' little retaliation at Gray after Game 3? Curtis, who hit two home runs, including the game-winner in the 10th, went on air with Gray and then announced that the Yankees, upset with his treatment with Rose, had taken a vote and were not going to speak to him on the field. But he did get in quick hello to Grandma before departing.
That was bush. First, it was later revealed that the Yankees took no vote, so Curtis lied on national television. And if he didn't want to speak, why not tell Gray that before going on-air. Other Yankees at least weren't quite so petty, agreeing to interviews with him.
Curtis, a platoon player, should realize that, yes, he did have a great game, the game of his life, but that he's basically a spare part the Yankees could take or leave. He should have taken his 15 minutes of fame and gone on.
It may sound strange to say about a 9-0 team, but Amarillo High is still a bit of an unknown. Normally, an AHS team that is 9-0 would leave little doubt because of its tough schedule, but that schedule is just the reason this year.
I'm not sure if the Sandies have a defining win. Clovis and Pampa are down, and Odessa Permian is just a shell of its former self. The 27-7 win over Coronado looked impressive until the Mustangs followed that with losses to Monterey and San Angelo Central. And Central dominated AHS statistically, and honestly, should have, or at least, could have won.
Certainly, Amarillo High has nothing to apologize for, and the feeling is the Sandies are legitimate. Nevertheless, we'll know for sure beginning in two weeks.

So my friend woke up this morning to find his bike gone from his balcony, and these left behind:
WTF? Assuming these scissors and pliers were used to cut the lock, how did they do it?

That was his theory... clamp the scissors and wind them around the cable for... a while.
that's a nice vice grip. at least he got something in return.
Might have been quicker to run through the numbers on that lock and work out the combination. Give it a try sometime. It doesn't take very long.
Some sort of pithy irrelevant one-liner should go here.
Did you run prints yet?
Yeah, I would think they used the scissors, broke them, then used the vise grip cutting edge. You can get some powerful leverage with those things.
"be careful this rando stuff is addictive and dan's the 'pusher'."
Actually he is right, those locks are easy to open. One does not have to try the numbers randomly. They make pretty distinctive cllicks....have found most locks like this do. If you do it a few times, you can open this lock in a few seconds. Try it. Just don't be fooled by the 0....it makes a unique sound when it falls into place. An old fashioned master lock with a dial is much harder to open.
Looks like a lock a friend of mine has with a false combination. The lock actually opens with a key, and the combination is just there to distract the thief for a bit.
what floor was the balcony on?
"The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."
Albert Einstein
I have to agree that they used the locking pliers on the scissor to cut the cable. Otherwise why would there be a broken scissor there?
Clarity to Agreement (Dennis Prager)
alot? a lot.
wild guess here.....
Scissors to cut the plastic coating then something to slowly grind and chew through the cable because it certainly isn't a clean cut.
Now wouldn't that be a laugh if some dum dum thought they could cut clean through the cable w/ the scissors.
Ok, i gotta ask this.
As a thief, WTF would you pack a scissor and a vise grip to steal a bike...
And on the other hand, if you were planning to steal the bike, wouldn't you pack something good??
And, if it wasn't a planned theft, just a crime of opportunity, WTF would someone just be out and about, with a scissor and vise grips??
I know, thieves aren't the brightest, but come on, a pair of bolt cutters would be a little smarter.....
Too bad that it's a knockoff pair, too; the original Vise-Grip is closing its factory in Nebraska, and the company's owners are moving production overseas.
good call, if 1st floor over night several locks might not help.what floor was the balcony on?
Check out:
Locks are just new puzzles to some.
Also, too late now. But a noise maker might help. My buddy used to have a bag of aluminum cans with fishing line through it, hed hoop the line around the pedal at night and if grabbed from the back yard it would make all kinds of noise. Well there was the dog factor too. LOL
Register your stolen Serial # with the police and watch Craigslist and ebay and best of luck.
I would think that if the scissors were used to actually cut the cable, there'd be a significant amount of wear on them. Can't really tell from the photo though with the way the scissors are closed.

While birthday boy and Bollywood star Salman Khan remained cheerful and ebullient all through the evening before his birthday Dec 27, his family and friends lost the spirit of celebration once the court summons was served on Salman Thursday.
The party spirit dissipated thereafter. While Salman remained cheerful his family did not feel like celebrating at all.
A source close to the Khan family said: "No one was finally invited. Whoever turned up did so on their own. It was just close family friends like Sajid Nadiadwala, David Dhawan and Rumi Jaffery who showed up to wish Salman. No invitations were sent out. How could they, when everyone knew Salman had to be in court on his birthday the next morning at 11 a.m.?"
Salman was against a birthday party.
"Salman felt it wouldn't be appropriate to celebrate at a time when the Delhi gang-rape victim was battling for her life. Only close friends were going to be invited. Even that changed after the courts summons. The idea of hosting a party was dropped. People who dropped in did so uninvited," a source said.
Angry about the courts summons, Rumi Jaffery - who was at Salman's Galaxy Apartments residence the night before the star's birthday - hit out at the sheer injustice of it. "We all respect the law. But look at the timing of the courts summons. Why something like this on his birthday? Couldn't it have been a day earlier or later? Everyone knows it's Salman's birthday Dec 27. Why ask him to attend court on a day when his fans would like to reach out to him, wish him, see him on television? Why take away from the joy of the special day?"
Rumi feels Salman's life and career are a casualty of jealousy. "I am 100 percent certain it were Salman's rivals who provoked the courts summons on his birthday. We lost our excitement about his birthday. But he was fine. He kept everyone's spirits high. Strange, in country where there are so many serious crimes, a 10-year old hit-and-run case should evoke such enthusiasm. I feel it's not about just justice. It's also about getting someone as successful as Salman into a sticky situation. But Salman was unperturbed. He had more fun than all of us put together."
Another close friend of Salman said: "Salman isn't worried about the outcome of the case. His only concern is, his family members may end up saying something politically incorrect. He has told his family to not speak about the case."

A catch up post with some bunnying I have permission for
Issac Milke - Volcanic cave
> Dorms
As Issac and C.J. made their way to the end of the cave, light shined illuminated the what was dark when they entered. Issac looked back at C.J.
"-No way. It's morning." Issac exclaimed as he grabbed for Coal's pokeball, withdrawing him. "We have to dart."
C.J. nodded at him as the two started to sprint out of the cave, Ax and Ace trailing behind.
"I am by far from prepared for the day!" Issac said to C.J. as the two descended down the mountain.
"It'll be fine." C.J. replied shortly. There was definitely tension from their disagreement earlier. "Not much further, here's the sign." C.J. pointed out as the passed the sign marking the entrance
the mountain path.
The two emerged from the mountain path and continued to the dorms at full pace stopping at the Raikou entrance. No further words were said. Issac nodded at C.J. and entered the building, making his way to his room without looking back.
I hope all this will blow over...
Issac entered his room and changed into fresh clothes.
Will have to shower later. Have to eat and get to class.

Update Notes

Update Notes
Updated on: 06/09/2015
Since we last visited SimplyRestraints...
There are frog ties, box ties, leg shackles, chest harnesses and Hiatt ankle cuffs on Simply Restraints and they're all being used on sexy submissive women.
Some of the scenes have a theme, like a cute blonde binds herself according to a letter her Master has left her, or a babe has been kidnapped and is chained to a wall in a barn. There are also instructional videos that just have the girls writhing around in their restraints on a bed or on the floor. There's some nudity and other girls wear lingerie.
The navigation is simple, with a clear video section and access to the photos from the "updates" page. Even though the videos are there too, the photo sets are clearly marked, so you won't have trouble finding them. There's a model index, but it just holds one pic of the model and doesn't give you a bio or link to her content. As for the site's design, I found it lacking, with thumbnails on a bland black background.
There are about150 movies and 483 photo sets. About half of the movies are in HD and available in a Windows Media format, but those are actually the first half of the collection. The newer movies are coming in good-quality MP4s. There's also a smaller MP4 for mobiles. There's no streaming option.
Since so many kinds of restraints are used, a search of some form or categories or keyword tags would really help narrow down something specific. I would've like to have singled out a particular type of girl or a kind of restraint, like a Pakistan darby cuff. Those have a delightful clicking sound as they close and they're very sturdy. Rope enthusiasts will enjoy the ladder ties, shibari armbinders and pole ties.
Katy Cee is particularly perky and enthusiastic and I loved watching her show off her ball gag, cage and shackles in a mock online-dating video. She was supposedly a slave looking for a Master and she showed you exactly how she liked to chain herself and sit in her cage. She also has many other creative videos and her slender frame looks stunning in any kind of restraint.
The quality is pretty decent and I like the unique mix of material. It's all exclusive, too, and there's a forum and some third-party links to sites you can join. In the end, Simply Restraints offers cute chicks in lots of creative bondage, so fans won't be disappointed. However, they look to have stopped updating (nothing new in almost 10 months), so that's something to keep in mind.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Gloria Allred – the Ambulance Chaser of 'Feminism' and Obama to pull something next week?
Hmm. If any of you followed followed the California Governor race in 2010, you may remember that Moonbeam Jerry Brown pulled something with Gloria Allred – the Ambulance Chaser of 'Feminism' with some made who was an illegal immigrant to smear Meg Whitman. Eventually, Moonbeam won the election after Whitman was close in the polls, but never really lead at any point. That crying illegal immigrant hasn't been heard from since. Now Drudge is reporting that something is up with Allred and Obama:
Here she comes. Hearing Gloria Allred out there again, about to make a move. After all, it's her time of the campaign. Team O at the ready!!
— MATT DRUDGE (@DRUDGE) October 18, 2012
Something fishy may be in the works before Monday's final debate. We shall see, Drudge will be right on top of whatever it is. What could it be? Did Bane hire an illegal? Did Romney have an illegal as a made?http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2012/10/18/gloria-allred-the-ambulance-chaser-of-feminism-and-obama-to-pull-something-next-week/2012 Elections2012 Elections

It's early spring in a Los Angeles recording studio and history is about to be made. Nelly is working on his two upcoming albums, Sweat and Suit. In walks his manager, Fo'Reel Entertainment CEO Cudda (pronounced "Cooter") Love, accompanied by a man he used to manage: the minister formerly known as Murder Mase.
Nelly's people are engaging in revelry, but once Mase walks in, the jokes come to a halt and everyone shows respect and love for the former Bad Boy, who's immaculately dressed in a three-piece suit. Nelly, who's working on a track called "I Still Love You," takes a shot in the dark.
He asks Cudda to ask the retired Mase to jump on the record.
|Photos of Mase on the set of his "Welcome Back" video.
After Nelly plays Mase the song a couple of times, the former shiny-suit man surprises everyone. Not only does he agree to rap on the record, he starts spitting with the swagger of the old Mase. There's no mic rust. Within minutes, everyone in the studio swarms into the control room, where the session is happening. Mason Betha is back (see "Mase Is Officially Back; Bad Boy Family Feels New Energy" ).
Fast-forward a couple of months and a few miles to the Paramount Studios lot near Los Angeles. There, the video for Mase's Chris Robinson-directed video, "Welcome Back," is being made. "This is history!" Mase yells. He's still dipped in his gear, but this time he's wearing a yellow Polo shirt and shorts to match. His sneaker game is on point, too: yellow-and-aqua Air Force Ones that shine almost as brilliantly as the canary gold on his watch. His waves are so tight that if he were in fact in Uptown New York, everyone would say they were spinning.
"This is going to be a great day," he continues, his dimples bulging. That session with Nelly has led to this morning in Cali. After hearing Mase rap on the track, the light bulb went off in Cudda's head: Mase still has what it takes to make an album. The timing is perfect because, as Mase puts it, he's evolved as a man and a father (he's expecting his first child this year).
Mase and Cudda spent weeks working on the bulk of the album, aptly titled Welcome Back, on the down-low with a bunch of up-and-coming producers. So after an album's worth of material was done, all Mase had to do was call up P. Diddy and tell Puff he's returning.
"I left because I had to get my mind right," Mase says about April 4, 1999, the day he officially retired from the rap game to focus on religion (see "Mase To Retire From Rap, Cites Religious Reasons" ). "I wasn't mentally ready to deal with how hip-hop was and the role I played in hip-hop. I had to do it for me and for the sake of my spirituality. The reason for me coming back is, now I can handle it. It won't control me; I control it. Before, I wasn't ready. Even [after] three years away, I wasn't ready to take this stand.
"Them days is over," Mase says, as he catches a bit more than an eyeful of a pair of models. "They gotta put some clothes on," he insists. His tone is, as usual, nonchalant, but his face is serious. "I want them to respect themselves. That's why we doing this, to be of influence. I don't want the young ladies with their shorts that short. I want the ladies to respect themselves. If I was her father, I wouldn't want her with her shorts that short.
"No cheeks out on a Mase video set," he adds, before pointing to his dimples. "Only these cheeks. We gonna teach the ladies they can still respect themselves and still be beautiful. That's what's up."
Besides, what would Mr. Betha's 'hood look like with half-naked women running around? "The concept of the video is from the 'Mister Rogers' [Neighborhood'] scene," Mase says. "I take the sneaker off and let everyone know 'It's gonna be a beautiful day.' After that, I walk outside and you see a young lady in a room, she has posters of me on the wall. She's been waiting five years for me to come back. She looks out the window and says, 'Wow, that's Mase!' Then she gets downstairs and by the time she gets there, it's too late: She missed me. Then we're just taking the video from scene to scene and showing the love and support that everyone has showed me.
"We didn't want it to be too controversial," he adds. "We just wanted something the people would buy into and just welcome me back."
Mase says Welcome Back won't have too many guest appearances, and there won't be any songs degrading women or even talking about "sexual acts." His time away from music has given him clarity.
"This time, what makes the music so beautiful is that I'm doing it from a clear-headed perspective," he explains. "Not feeling that I have to say this or I have to please these people. Now, it's just good music: vibrant, up-tempo, real good music. It's amazing that it still came out wonderful. There is a way you can make incredible music without following the so-called formula."
Despite the minister's religious beliefs, he didn't switch his style up drastically enough to alienate the fans. "It was simple," he says. "[After] being away for five years, there are still a lot of things I want to talk about, I just couldn't fit them all on the same album. But I didn't want to come back so different that it scared you. I wanted to do something that was beautiful that you could relate to, something that you can think is retro Mase. Then, as I grow as an artist, I'll allow the audience to grow with me."
Welcome Back is due in August.

What are we looking for?
U.S. and Canadian real estate investment trusts that could reward investors with both growth and dividends.
With the unemployment rate in the U.S. slowly dropping and rental occupancy rates in that country at the highest levels in years, REITs have had a great run. We wanted to find REITs that have the financial strength to maintain their payouts and potentially climb higher.
More about today's screen
This screen comes from Bloomberg's Constantin Cosereanu, who scored U.S. and Canadian REITs by applying the following criteria:
- the REIT must have a market cap of greater than $100-million (U.S.);
- it must have a funds from operations (FFO) payout ratio of greater than zero;
- it must have a FFO yield of greater than zero;
- it must have one-year growth in FFO of greater than zero; and
- it must have a dividend yield of greater than zero.
Mr. Cosereanu applied a rating model that gives equal weight to the following factors: price to FFO, net operating income growth, FFO payout, FFO yield, FFO growth and dividend yield.
What we found
Canadian REITs are rare on this list, but a few place very nicely indeed. The top performer according to Mr. Cosereanu's formula is Vancouver-based Pure Industrial Real Estate Trust, which stands head and shoulders above the field with a combined score of 67.9, almost 19 points above the second-place entry.
Of course, there is no guarantee that these REITs will continue to post such strong results. But with a focus on solid players boasting healthy operating metrics and consistent dividends, this list provides a good place for investors to begin their REIT research.Report Typo/Error

Jun 30 2008Guitar Hero Figures From McFarlane Toys
Thats right folks, McFarlane Toys has partnered with Activision to make a line of Guitar Hero themed action figures. They'll be hitting stores in November (in time for Christmas/robot apocalypse) and will each feature 15-18 moving parts, stand abound 6" tall, and run $10-$15. The figures available will include Johnny Napalm, Lars Ümlaut, the Geekologie Writer, Axel Steel, the God of Rock, and the Devil of Country. Seriously though, I should have a damn action figure. With accessories. Like a blue-screening computer and broken cellphone. Nagging girlfriend and cubicle playset sold separately.
Hit the jump for a look at two of the other figures.

Thanks Emily and Romeo, and no, I don't use the medicine cabinet as an action figure display case. At least not anymore.

And I'd totally play with a Geekologie action figure. Not in a sexual way or anything though. It wouldn't be anatomically correct would it? Why am I asking...? No reason...
For a God he has mighty skinny legs.
Action figures complete with "skinny rocker legs".
Way to go McFarlane, it was tough to pussify guitar hero even more. Now even the toys are panzy asses.
Oh hell yes!
What would be REALLY sweet is if you could send a picture of your mug and they transmorgrify it onto on of these tiny dude bodies...
Last time I check, God of Rock's guitar was white and glowing. WTF is he holding there???
Guitar Hero but no Iron-Man figures....
I can think of so many more action-figure-worthy video games than this.

Philippines: Mindanao conflict fuels trafficking

|Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN), Philippines: Mindanao conflict fuels trafficking, 31 March 2010, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4bb4bde41e.html [accessed 31 May 2016]

MANILA, 31 March 2010 (IRIN) - Shahana [not her real name] was 14 when she took her first trip abroad - to work as a domestic helper in Kuwait.
Her documents were false, enabling her to leave the country as a minor. "The war made it impossible for my family to survive. We could no longer farm because we lost our land. Going abroad was our only hope." Shahana is from Shariff Aguak, a municipality in the war-torn Philippine province of Mindanao.
The 2009 US State Department Report indicates that "there is an increasing number of women and children from Mindanao trafficked internally and trans-internationally for domestic work. Traffickers use land and sea transportation to transfer victims from island provinces to major cities. Muslim girls are trafficked by fellow Muslims."
Sherryl Luceno, regional coordinator for the Zamboanga branch of the Visayan Forum Foundation (VFF), an NGO that rescues and intercepts trafficked people, told IRIN: "Extreme poverty is bad enough, but combined with the unstable peace and order situation, many are driven to desperation. Even if they are being recruited illegally, they take the risk."
No end in sight
Almost four decades of armed conflict in Mindanao between government troops and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) fighting for autonomy has stunted growth in the mineral-rich province.
According to the UN Development Programme, seven out of 10 provinces ranked worst on the country's human development ratings are in Mindanao.
On a national average, the number of people living on less than US$2 a day is 45 percent, a figure estimated to be much higher in Mindanao.
In August 2008, renewed hostilities broke out when a memorandum that would have given the MILF control over land they claimed to be ancestral domain was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Nearly 400 people were killed and 700,000 people displaced.
Data gathered by the Maguindanao Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office and the Mindanao Emergency Response Network showed that 174,370 persons were still displaced as of December 2009.
The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, estimates that tens of thousands are staying with host communities, but counting has reportedly been discontinued by the government.
Back-door exit
Zamboanga, a port city at the southern most part of the Philippines, is known as a back door out of the country, offering easy passage to Malaysia.
"A lot of girls are taken out of the country from private ports which do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Coast Guard, and taken to Malaysia. From there, they are transported to the Middle East," says Luceno.
Movement from one island to another in the Philippines archipelago is common, making it easier for traffickers. "They just tell the port officials they are crossing over to Tawi-Tawi to see family so they are not asked for identification papers or passports."
Based on the data compiled by the VFF from last May, they identified 98 victims as coming from war zone areas such as Basilan and Sulu.
Lucrative business
Although there is no official database to track the number of trafficked individuals per year, the US State Department reports that about 800,000 Filipinos are trafficked out of the country every year, mostly women.
An Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act was passed in 2003, but there have only been 13 convictions. Two were from Zamboanga. Another two cases from Zamboanga are awaiting a decision.
The dismal number of convictions has been attributed to factors endemic to the Philippine judicial system: corruption, a high turnover of judges and lack of proper evidence.
Darlene Pajarito, third Assistant City Prosecutor of Zamboanga, heads the Overseas Passenger Assist Center, which aims to investigate, intercept victims and prosecute traffickers at the point of departure.
"It is difficult to prosecute the traffickers at the point of departure because you need to prove that selling will actually take place," says Pajarito.
"This law has not hindered traffickers. It is a lucrative business for traffickers, who make as much as $750 for each girl. You can just imagine how much they make for a group of 10 girls," Pajarito adds.
The US State Department Trafficking in Persons Report 2009 downgraded the Philippines' classification to Tier 2 Watch-list Status, citing "the government's ability to effectively prosecute trafficking crimes as severely limited by an inefficient judicial system".
A Tier 3 assessment could result in sanctions such as the withholding of non-humanitarian, non-trade-related foreign assistance.

If you were to be a top level pro cyclist, which would you rather be......a sprinter, a climber, or a TT'er? and why?
It seems like the climbers have the edge in the grand tours, the TT'ers get individual glory, but the sprinters have the opportunities to win in the tours, the classics, and most everything in between. For me, I'd like to be a top level sprinter.
Sprinters have more wins, and that means they get on the podium more often which = more kisses from those hot podium girls oh, and they don't look like walking skeletons with their shirts off.
And if a sprinter drops out of a grand tour its not a big deal, but if a GC guy drops out, he's considered a failure/disappointment.

Some people see stadium beer cups as half empty. Others see them as half full.
Me? I take one look at all that empty space and wonder when the local sports franchise is going to dub it an "enhanced pour," then charge $12.95 a pop.
In other words, I'm a certified sports cynic. Distrusting to a fault. Forever bracing for the tunnel at the end of the light. I don't assume new ideas are bad until proved worse, forever fueled by greed, vanity and sheer incompetence. (Please note: this is not a column about "The Decision.") Uh-uh. I know things are rotten to the core and can generally rattle off a half-dozen supporting arguments without even trying. Which is why I find the NFL's possible switch to an 18-game "enhanced season" so disturbing.
Frankly, I can't spot the downside.
And I've tried.
I mean, really, really tried.
Like, I've even thought about what it would mean for the guys who program "Madden NFL." (Short answer? They'd be fine. The video game already comes out early. Its makers are used to tight deadlines.)
In a nutshell, here's the league's big scheduling idea: increase the regular season from 16 to 18 games. Decrease the preseason from four games to two. Tinker with roster sizes and injured reserve rules accordingly. Shazam! Just like that, more football.
Read that last part again.
Adrianpetersonbrettfavrepeytonmanningsaintscowboysbrettfavre. Are you not entertained?
Everyone wins. Fans get additional opportunities to swap Sunday errands for couch-bound sloth and weekday office work for fantasy football trade proposals. The NFL gets to ask television networks for
more even more money. Sportswriters get extra stuff to, well, sportswrite about.
Of course, not everyone agrees. I want to side with them. But I can't.
Start with pro players. Following an expanded schedule presentation during a recent collective bargaining session, a spokesman for the NFL Players Association fretted over potentially increased injury risk. Along the same lines, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis worried that adding two "end-of-season games -- where players already play hurt -- comes at a huge cost for player and team."
Lewis is right: anything that ups the odds of getting hurt is legitimate cause for concern. And the legitimate solution for said concern is ... to not play football in the first place. After all, the game is violent by design, destructively so. People hit other people. Hard. Even in the weight room, they pump and push their bodies beyond any reasonable limit. Anyone can suffer a serious injury at any time -- in offseason workouts (Willie Colon), in training camp (Reggie Kelly), in preseason (Michael Vick), in the first game of the regular season (Tom Brady), even playing flag football (Steve Smith).
Indeed, the 16-game regular season already is a matter of attrition and survival: a league-wide study pegged the average per game, per team injury rate at 2.7 players. Two additional games wouldn't increase that number; it only would transfer some of the existing injury risk from preseason backups and warm bodies to starters and top subs. That's a small price to pay for more games, given that the union figures to negotiate a congruent salary bump, and that its public position on the matter smells an awful lot like CBA posturing.
Oh, and speaking of extra money, the average NFL playing career spans a whopping four years. How do athletes maximize that minuscule window? By increasing the number of paydays within. Cut in favor of a cheaper rookie? Dumped to clear salary cap space? Pro football life is harsh -- but a little less so with two additional game checks in the bank.
Others worry about the sanctity of the NFL record book. Lengthen the season, they argue, and pretty soon records such as Dan Marino's 5,084 single-season passing yards will fall by the wayside. True enough. But really, who cares? League records have scant sanctity to begin with, largely because the NFL previously expanded from 12 to 14 games, then from 14 to 16. Does anyone believe that Jim Brown's single-season rushing high of 1,863 yards -- set in the 14-game 1963 season -- is less impressive than Ahman Green's 1,883 yards in 2003? Does anyone think Brown wasn't as good as LaDainian Tomlinson, who has three seasons with more than 1,600 rushing yards to Brown's one?
Please. Brown is the best player in league history, or at least the best player not named Jerry Rice. Also, he starred in "The Dirty Dozen," which is slightly more impressive than O.J. Simpson's cinematic oeuvre.
When it comes to numbers, pro football isn't baseball. It isn't even basketball. No other team sport -- no other sport, period, save pre-and-post wooden racket tennis -- is unfriendlier to era-crossing statistical comparisons. Rules changes have too much impact on the game. Drew Brees throwing for a record 5,200 yards in an 18-game season wouldn't invalidate Marino anymore than Marino's mark invalidates Bert Jones throwing for 3,104 yards in 1976, two years before the league decreed that defensive backs could no longer pummel wide receivers all over the field.
Besides, losing a few not-so-hallowed statistical milestones would be well worth an 18-game season's primary non-financial gain: two fewer meaningless, excruciatingly mediocre preseason contests. Oh, and less training camp, too. Not to put too fine a point on it, but when Aristotle discussed the good life, the only reason he failed to mention an absence of Bengals-Bills in mid-August was that pro football had yet to be invented. Which means the father of Western thought didn't have to buy a ticket package containing four preseason clunkers marked up at regular-season prices.
Stated another way: Brett Favre may be slightly narcissistic, and he may take strange, excessive pleasure in reporters camping on his front lawn, but by dithering and deliberating and annually missing as much ersatz summer football as possible, he's being ... pretty darn clever. Training camps open this week; while everyone else in the league suffers through sweltering summer sun, too-small dorm room beds, the tedium of repetitive drills and the cerebral cortex-erasing boredom of repetitive camp media dispatches (um, sorry, fellow sportswriters), Favre will be chilling at home, playing pitch-and-catch with awestruck high school kids and granting an occasional audience to awestruck Minnesota coach Brad Childress.
Really, if you were Favre, what would you do? Go slap a Mankato, Minn., tackling sled?
Perhaps the most compelling argument against an 18-game NFL season goes as follows. The league is enormously successful as is. Don't fix what isn't broken. Additional games will dilute the product. Oversaturate a crowded sports market. Each contest will become less intense, less do-or-die apocalyptic, less special. In short, you can have too much of a good thing.
I say balderdash.
Two extra games doesn't equal the 82-game NBA season, or 162 baseball games, or however many years each interminably scattershot MLS season lasts. It's not adding road spikes, hurricane-level headwinds and a Sarlacc Pit to the Pyrenees portion of the Tour de France. It's simply two more weeks on the calendar, tacked on in February, when it's already cold and miserable and there's nothing to watch but dreg, too-weak-for-summer Hollywood rom-coms shoved out the door to capitalize on Valentine's Day. Heck, pushing the NFL playoffs into mid-month could lower the national rates of: a) seasonal-affective disorder; b) attempted self-harm due to seasonal-affective disorder; c) death by slipping on ice while shoveling snow.
Look, anything that shortens the time between the end of the Super Bowl and the start of the NCAA Tournament -- and doesn't involve illegally cooking down cold medicine and/or Drano -- is a clear and obvious social good.
More to the point, an expanded NFL season hardly would oversupply the market for pro football; if anything, it simply would be bowing to insatiable demand, akin to Apple shipping additional iPhones. Our pigskin obsession is now year 'round -- from preseason to regular season to postseason to draft season to player arrest season -- growing with exposure like weeds to rain. Even the implicit threat of more bad football -- remember: an 18-game schedule means two additional Oakland and Detroit games -- is insufficient reason to kibosh an extended NFL campaign. Not when we have fantasy, sports talk radio catharsis and the Manhattan Project-brilliant NFL Red Zone channel to soothe the pain.
In the final analysis, who loses under the enhanced season proposal? Probably the producers of "Hard Knocks." And ... that's pretty much the list. Which, as I've said, leaves a sports cynic like me nervous. Perplexed. Disturbed. There's a poker saying that goes if you can't spot the sucker at the table, it's you. Eighteen games are on the table. I can't spot the sucker. Maybe it's me. Maybe it's all of us. So what?
All I know is that I'll be too busy watching more football -- and gladly forking over whatever unholy sum they decide to charge for a half-empty cup of beer -- to care.

'The xx', an English indie band, launched their new album 'Coexist' recently. To spread the word about 'Coexist', 'The xx' used interactive data visualization.
Many bands are using the full power of the web to either launch themselves in the music scene or push their new albums/ singles online. They use HTML5 websites, multimedia video, social media and interactive visualizations for the job. Be it OK Go and their set of crazy videos that became YouTube sensations or Arcade Fire's 'We Used to Wait' being released with Google's interactive HTML5 web project 'Wilderness Downtown', the web is being used in an innovative manner to attract the attention of the millions of people . This thrust can be pivotal in making or breaking a band as the online audience can be the judge, jury and executioner on new releases in cinema, music and fashion.
The new album of 'The xx' uses interactive data visualization to spread online. The map of the world is seen on the website in black and white; you appear on this map marked with an 'X'. Streams of magnificent golden light emerge from one location on the map and culminate at another. Each of these rays is supposed to represent the sharing of the audio stream from one person to another on a particular date. The sharing is done through tweets, emails and Facebook shares.
When the very first burst of the golden light erupts from a particular location, it is synchronized to the music; this is a spectacular sight. It seems that the rays are choreographed to the slow, soulful music of 'The xx'. The music continues to play and a fresh track is played from the album 'Coexist'. You can change the tracks using the console that is to the left hand side. A slider on the top right can be moved to a particular time period to view the pattern in which the stream of music was shared then.
The interactive data visualization for 'The xx' is a great way to fuse visuals and melody together in order to promote the new album 'Coexist'. I had heard of the band but never gave any of their songs a listen. I have already started liking the track 'Angels' and I am definitely going to listen to more stuff by these guys. The website did the job!

How to Play Poker (Dice Game)
Poker dice is a simple and quick game. Although the name is derived from the popular card game, it is only distantly similar - one can get similar types of hands but players don't (usually) bet, for example. It is played with specially made 'Poker dice' with sides that, instead of the standard 1-6, possess the sides 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King and King.

WOW! I have two new teens (13 & 14) and I am learning SO much from this book. It really hits home. I think every parent of teens should read this. Parenting teens is different from parenting children. I never thought of it like that, but it is SO true.
I LOVE this book. I recommended these Love and Logic books to all my friends who are parents, to grandparents, and anyone who deals with children on a regular basis. They are an awesome tool. The value at Overstock is great too. I bought the book (including shipping) for less than in the local bookstore. It does take a while to get books, a lot longer than other products at Overstock. I'm not sure why that is.
I got this book for a friend who is a single mom with 4 teenage daughters. The girls had her at her wits end. She got the book about a month ago and has totally changed the way she deals with her girls. I have never seen such a radical change in someone. She is finally in control. Would reccommend to anyone with children.
this was my first time ordering from overstock.com, which was very easy and fast delivery. will order again they had the best price on the book which was VERY informative, a must if you are raising teens.

Tired of all those guides for idiots and dummies? This book will provide some welcome relief... The author provides a solid reference tool for anyone who works with adolescents. It is highly recommended for education professionals as well as public libraries.(Diana Masla VOYA)
I heartily recommend this book to parents and relatives of adolescents who have or may have mood disorders. It is written clearly and simply... and with a style that helps parents to understand the complexities of the problem that is optimistic of the likelihood of improvement with correct diagnosis and treatment.(Marcia Slomowitz, M.D. Journal of Clinical Psychiatry)
As I prepared this brief review, I found myself advising families to obtain their own copy of Dr. Mondimore's well-written, clear, and valuable book.(Nancy A. Durant, M.D. American Journal of Psychiatry)
Clear, medically precise terminology, drawings, and diagrams.(Healing Magazine)
This is an intelligent and well-written work with a substantial amount of detail especially about medications and how they work.(Metaphysiology Online Book Reviews)
This well-written book is both comprehensive and scientifically rigorous. Dr. Mondimore makes the complex concepts and terms involved in the diagnosis and treatment of adolescent depression enormously accessible to the layperson.(Neal D. Ryan, M.D., Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, University of Pittsburgh)
Dr. Mondimore has clearly succeeded in his goal of providing parents with a sophisticated summary of everything that is currently known about adolescent mood disorders. His writing combines a keen clinical skill in the care of patients with a comprehensive and sensible review of the research literature. In our clinic at Johns Hopkins Hospital, we spend a lot of time simply educating parents about these conditions, and we have badly needed a book to recommend to families. Dr. Mondimore's book more than satisfies this urgent need. This is an outstanding work that surpasses anything else I have read for parents on clinical depression and bipolar disorder in teenagers.(Anthony J. Drobnick, M.D., Director of the Adolescent Affective Disorders Consultation Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions)
This is Dr. Mondimore's best book yet, thorough and comprehensive. He provides information that is vital for parents, pediatricians, and general practitioners trying to understand the behavioral symptoms of mood disorders in adolescents.(Sallie P. Mink, Director of Education, Depression and Related Affective Disorders Association (DRADA))

The number of girls in India has dropped to 'emergency proportions', warns the United Nations.
Caused by millions of illegal abortions resulting from beliefs that daughters are of lesser worth than sons, the imbalance is fuelling an increase in crimes such as kidnapping and trafficking, according to a statement released by the United Nations. Despite laws that ban expectant parents from running tests to determine the gender of unborn children, female foeticide remains a common practice in parts of the country, where a preference for sons runs deep.
"It is tragically ironic that the one who creates life is herself denied the right to be born," said Lakshmi Puri, deputy executive director of UN Women, at the launch of a new study on sex ratios and gender-biased sex selection.
India's traditionally male-dominated culture views sons as assets – breadwinners who will provide for the family, carry on the family name, and perform the last rites for their parents, an important ritual in many faiths. Girls, on the other hand, are often seen as a liability, with families having to dig deep for a substantial dowry to ensure a desirable match. In a culture that views pre-marital sex as bringing shame to the girl's family, parents also worry about their safety.
India's 2011 census showed that while the overall female-to-male ratio has improved marginally since the last census a decade ago, fewer girls were born than boys and the number of girls younger than six plummeted for the fifth straight decade. "The sharply declining child-sex ratio in India has reached emergency proportions and urgent action must be taken to alleviate this crisis," Puri added.
A May 2011 study in British medical journal the Lancet found that up to 12 million Indian girls were aborted over the last three decades, resulting in a skewed child sex ratio of 918 girls to every 1,000 boys in 2011, versus 962 in 1981.
Activists blame ultra-sonography for the rise in abortions, saying the technology is used for sex determination. But the crime is tough to check, they add, resulting in few convictions. There were 221 cases of foeticide reported in 2013, up from 210 in 2012, the National Crime Records Bureau says.
UN officials said India's economic and social progress had failed in the area of sex selection, and the unbalanced sex ratio was contributing to crimes such as rape, abduction and trafficking.
The entire social structure will have to change, with a battle waged against the root causes of a preference for sons, said Lise Grande, the UN resident coordinator in India. "This may be one of the hardest, most difficult struggles India faces, but it is arguably one of its most important," she added. – Reuters

"Never do anything that you wouldn't want to have to explain to the paramedics."
"His first words were 'did you bike today?' I hesitated before admitting that I had, thinking I was going to get a lecture on how bad the roads were and how I shouldn't try to bike home. Instead he said 'man, you're lucky! I've been sitting in traffic for over 1/2 hr, and I've only gone about 2 miles. Some guy on a bike passed me about 20 minutes ago and I'm sure he's home by now'."

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is designed for a borrower or group of borrowers in Haiti. Esperanza is one of the few MFIs currently working in the northeast region of the country. Through lending, the organization aims to stimulate economic growth and opportunity in a country that has suffered debilitating crises, including political instability, natural disasters and poverty. Esperanza lends primarily to groups of women who cross-guarantee each other's loans. They also receive financial literacy courses and health services.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Paleontologist digs deep for dinosaurs in Oklahoma and elsewhere
Paul Sereno does not know exactly what Oklahoma looked like 120 million years ago, but the University of Chicago paleontologist has more than an educated guess, thanks to a giant carnivorous dinosaur called acrocanthosaurus that was found near Atoka.
"It would have been probably a lot wetter and subtropical with rivers flowing through, and it was such a river that a couple of these specimens fell into, got buried and fossilized," said Sereno, who delivered a presentation last month on the new 40-foot mounted skeleton of acrocanthosaurus that was recently installed at the Jasmine Moran Children's Museum in Seminole.
"There were forests, and the trees looked a lot like sequoias. Very verdant, and there were lots of long-necked dinosaurs and other kinds of dinosaurs this animal was preying upon, and some of those have been found," he said. "It was a giant meat-eater and the most famous dinosaur from Oklahoma — found only in Oklahoma, a dinosaur that really was king of the predators 120 million years ago here in North America. It roamed beyond Oklahoma, but Oklahoma has the best remains."
Sereno, 55, is a frequent visitor to the land of acrocanthosaurus, but his work as a dinosaur hunter has taken him to every continent on the planet. He began his career with an expedition to the Andes Mountains, where his team found the earliest known specimens of dinosaurs — herrerasaurus and eoraptor, which dated to around 225 million years ago.
But one of his most famous discoveries took place in 1997 and 2000 in the Sahara desert of northern Africa: a 40-foot, 8-ton ancestor of the called sarcosuchus, known popularly as "SuperCroc." Sereno said that nearly every animal has its "day in the sun," but SuperCroc was practically the king of the cretaceous era.
"This crocodile became a dinosaur eater," Sereno said. "At about 100 million years ago ... it would wait for a dinosaur to come down close to the water, and it would launch itself at this dinosaur. So we reconstructed this monster. We know what crocodiles and alligators are like today, so when you see this thing it's really amazing."
His explorations of the Sahara took place for months at a time, in 125-degree heat. Sereno said that there are expanses of that desert in which he could travel 500 miles in any direction and not see any vegetation. During these periods of study, he would live on dehydrated, heavily salted food and as much water as possible.
And somehow, he learned to love it.
"This is one of the greatest exercise and diet programs in the world," he said of his digs in the Sahara. "Every time I come back, I feel like a million bucks."
These are the kind of stories that fascinate young people who attend Sereno's presentations, and since 1999, Sereno has made education a cornerstone of his work. He is a co-founder of Project Exploration, a Chicago-based organization that reaches out to segments of the student population that are traditionally underexposed to science. Sereno said he struggled as a high school student and barely got into Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Ill., but education was important to the Sereno family — all six siblings earned doctorate degrees — and Paul Sereno's attitude was dramatically changed when he discovered the possibilities for adventure in science.
So now Sereno is working to bring new, fresh minds to his profession, and whenever he visits the Jasmine Moran Children's Museum or the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History in Norman, he hopes he is speaking to some future explorers. And, he said, there has never been a better time to be a paleontologist.
"We are finding more dinosaurs today — this year — than we've ever found before," he said. "It's a renaissance. The world, as small as it's getting with all the digital resources we have, is still the most unexplored place you could imagine. I have been in places in the Sahara where no human has set foot."
Sereno knows this, he said, because the SuperCroc remains he found in 1997 and 2000 were practically sitting on the surface of the sand. And because of the high concentration of dinosaur fossils in Oklahoma, it's not uncommon for people to find an important artifact, possibly part of an acrocanthosaurus, on their own land.
"People in the southwest and southeastern corners of Oklahoma are finding things on their ranches and they are bringing them in, and they realize what they are now," Sereno said. "It's not a fossilized log. It's a bone."
We are finding more dinosaurs today — this year — than we've ever found before. It's a renaissance. The world, as small as it's getting with all the digital resources we have, is still the most unexplored place you could imagine. I have been in places in the Sahara where no human has set foot."

The combination of Windows XP SP2 and SQL Server Express 2005 SP3 can causes the machine to blue screen during the installation of SQL Server Express. One of the Windows Updates that you can apply to Windows XP SP2 fixes the problem. Unfortunately, if you install Windows XP SP2 and run Windows Update, it will tell you that it needs to install about 118 updates. I would like to know which of the 118 updates fixes the problem. I know that the fix involves updating SXS.DLL to version 5.1.2600.3019.
Other than installing each update one at a time and checking the version of SXS.DLL after each update, is there an easier way of determining which update fixes the problem?

my battery will not hold a charge, used...
my battery will not hold a charge, used very little but 4 years old. Is it dead and are there replacements?
The batteries (unfortunately) have to be regularly conditioned every few months to keep them in tip top shape. I wish I could give you a better solution than buying a new battery, but I can't think of anything better.Backcountry sells a few, or if they don't have the one you need go and talk to your local bike shop and they can snag you anything from QBP.Sorry brodeo!http://www.backcountry.com/store/subcat/100000056/b100000798/Light-Motion-Bike-Accessories.html

I am looking for a basic open source http proxy server for Google App Engine. Preferably written in Python. Any suggestions?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
for just HTTP/HTTPS PROXY, try with this
SOCKS is not an HTTP-based protocol, so it's not possible to write a SOCKS proxy on App Engine.
Edit: Note I wrote the above when you were specifically referring to a SOCKS proxy.
Regarding general HTTP proxy servers, you can't really do that on App Engine, either, because proxies need to be able to accept requests for any hostname; your App Engine app will only accept requests for the hosts you're serving off it.
You could write an 'anonymizer' type interface on App Engine, but it's not a true proxy, because it will require rewriting URLs to work.
For basic HTTP/HTTPS tasks use http://code.google.com/p/mirrorrr/
Here is a quick demo of using Google App Engine as a proxy server.
