In Praise of Leisure - "Imagine a world in which most people worked only 15 hours a week. They would be paid as much as, or even more than, they now are, because the fruits of their labor would be distributed more evenly across society. Leisure would occupy far more of their waking hours than work. It was exactly this prospect that John Maynard Keynes conjured up in a little essay published in 1930 called 'Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren.' Its thesis was simple. As technological progress made possible an increase in the output of goods per hour worked, people would have to work less and less to satisfy their needs, until in the end they would have to work hardly at all... He thought this condition might be reached in about 100 years — that is, by 2030." (via) [more inside]

Life After Capitalism
One thing we can be certain of is that capitalism will end. Maybe not soon, but probably before too long; humanity has never before managed to craft an eternal social system, after all, and capitalism is a notably more precarious and volatile order than most of those that preceded it. The question, then, is what will come next.

What a difference a day makes (pics and a video)
A month or so ago I wrote about how we had decided to try Julian on solids. After a few days of it and him showing no interest in actually eating the food (he kept spitting it out or gagging) and having green poop after ingesting a tiny bit of avocado, I decided we should hold off on food for him for a while. A month past and when we were at my friend's farewell party this weekend, he kept trying to grab a banana out of Jody's hand. I told Jody to let him have it and see what he did with it.

CustomInk is amazing. The website design tool was 10x better than other shirt websites. And CustomInk had way more shirt style and color choices. I would recommend to everyone and I would/will use again. The communication about what step my order was in was very easy to access and understand. And the staff was very helpful and responsive.

customer service was excellent.
Loysville, PA
Overall very good experience. The people on the phone are very professional. The final product was very accurate, all items were done correctly on time and on budget. THANK YOU! My only concern is the registration of the two colors on the front being so loose. Maybe it's a fluke or maybe it's just the way CustomInk does it but my guess is the adequate quality of the registration of colors is not how CustomInk normally does business. We'll see with the next order. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

Guest Speaker: "Pakistan: Unique Origins, Unique Destiny?" by Javed Jabbar6:00 PM
CLA 2.606, UT Austin campus
With over 50 faculty members in a dozen schools and departments, the University of Texas at Austin has one of the most distinguished South Asia programs in the country.
The South Asia Institute was established as part of a university initiative to promote South Asian programs, especially those pertaining to contemporary issues, across the entire university and in the larger community. As a National Resource Center for South Asia funded by A Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education, the institute sponsors major conferences, scholarly symposia and a weekly South Asia Seminar. The institute also provides Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships to students pursuing graduate degrees relating to South Asia in any department or school of the University.
Additionally, the Title VI grant also provides resources for outreach programs to K-12 schools, post-secondary institutions, business and civic organizations, and the Texas community at large. Another central mission of the Institute is to promote the study of contemporary South Asian languages in cooperation with the Department of Asian Studies and the Hindi-Urdu Flagship Program. Bengali, Hindi, Malayalam, Sanskrit, Tamil Telugu and Urdu are currently taught in the department.
The South Asia Initiative underscores the University's commitment to making the University of Texas South Asia program the best in the country within the next several years.

Just bought a new mountain bike (incredibly cheap compared to a lot of bikes I've seen) that looks like this, with an XL frame (I'm 6'2 @ 220lbs)
Got better pedals, a new seat & gloves with it too!
At 16 I think I'm one of the youngest here but it seems like an awesome forum- I initially found it looking for advice to get a helmet with a visor or visorless.
So on that note, seeing the bike I ride, which I'll mostly be taking it on a paved path with the occasional off-road trip, would a visor be useful, or not so much?

More Evidence of Prostate Cancer: US Scientists
by Bidita Debnath on July 12, 2013 at 12:00 AM General Health News - G J E 4
US scientists revealed that they have confirmed a surprising 2011 study that found a higher risk of prostate cancer among men who consume omega-3 fatty acids, raising new questions about the safety of supplements.
The research in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reported a 71 percent higher risk for dangerous high-grade prostate cancer among men who ate fatty fish or took fish-oil supplements, which are often touted for their anti-inflammatory properties.
Advertisement"We've shown once again that use of nutritional supplements may be harmful," said Alan Kristal, researcher at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and senior author of the paper.
Scientists are still puzzled as to why omega-3s appear linked to a greater risk of prostate cancer, but they said the findings suggest they are somehow involved in the formation of tumors.
The same team of researchers published similar findings in 2011, linking high blood concentrations of DHA to a more than double risk of high-grade prostate cancer, which is more likely to be fatal than other types.
A large European study also found the same omega-3 and prostate cancer link.
"The consistency of these findings suggests that these fatty acids are involved in prostate tumorigenesis and recommendations to increase long-chain omega-3 fatty acid intake, in particular through supplementation, should consider its potential risks," the US study said.
The difference in blood concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids between the highest and lowest risk groups was about 2.5 percentage points (3.2 percent vs. 5.7 percent), or just higher than the effect of eating salmon twice a week, Kristal said.
The latest study was based on an analysis of specimens and data from a large randomized, controlled trial that tested whether selenium and vitamin E would reduce prostate cancer risk.
The trial, known as SELECT (the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial), found that vitamin E raised the prostate cancer risk and selenium showed no impact either way.
For the July 11 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, researchers analyzed the data on 834 men diagnosed with prostate cancer and compared them to a random sample of 1,393 taken from the SELECT trial.
Those who had high blood concentrations of the fatty acids EPA, DPA and DHA were shown to have a 71 percent increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer.
The increased risk of low grade prostate cancer was 44 percent higher in those with elevated fatty acid levels, and the combined risk was 43 percent for all prostate cancers.
Due to the nature of the study, it was not possible to tell for certain whether the elevated blood levels were due to men taking supplements or eating fish rich in omega-3s.
However, Franklin Lowe, associate director of the department of urology at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in New York, said the findings should remind consumers that supplements may not help, and may even do harm.
"In general, there is nothing that has been proven to actually limit the risk of prostate cancer," said Lowe, who was not involved in the study.
"For the most part, doctors do not recommend this stuff because it is unclear what the true benefits are for most of the supplements that people take."

What about fish oil in it's natural form? Like Cod Liver oil, or cod liver in cod liver oil? The processing of fish oil into tablets may be changing the nature of the fish oil. Supplements need to be in their least processed form in order to be bio-nutritional or risk become bio-toxic. That's why India does not cook with or heat their honey.Recent studies about beta-carotein supplements and smokers showed smokers were more likely to get lung cancer over the decades. However, beta-carotein from natural foods like carrots were not studied. Companies that adhere to the least adulteration and processing of their food , vitamins, or probiotics etc etc are a benefit. Ayurvedic medicine does not have side-effects, as well as other holistic medicinal practices. In the west, we want to modify and pasteurize everything, killing many positive synergistic effects and turning the medicine into a cause of disease. ANCIENT PEOPLE DID NOT EAT FISH OIL FROM A PILL BOTTLE. They ate them from a clean sea.

Capri has spent her entire life working on her father's ranch which has given her very defined arm and leg muscles. Her skin is a rather pale, even though she is usually outside for at least 8 hours a day. She is about 5'6 and lean. She has long curly auburn colored hair with side bangs that reach just below her eyes, which are light green. She has tiny freckles along her cheeks and nose.
Her outfit of choice for the tournament is a pair of black leggings a long with a red cami with an unzipped white jacket over top of it. She wears a pair of worn out red sneakers that has many scuffs on the toes. She has a bracelet with 6 pokeballs attached to it, one of which is empty.
Inside her book bag she has a cantine, a rope, a pair of jeans and a hoodie, extra socks, and an 'emergency candy bar'.
Capri has a long history, but to make it short she is an only child that has lived with her father her entire life. Her father is a hard man to get a long with, but he has taught Capri how to be strong, mentally and physically. She is very competitive, but she believes in fair play and in the right situation, she would use teamwork to win. She does not think fast though and sometimes panics when things get difficult.

Capri spent the day examining the area, figuring out which place would be the best to camp out for the night. It would have to a good hiding spot, or else she would have to constantly move before anyone finds her spot. Along the way she picked berries for a late meal and sticks to help make a fire. She let Flower scurry a long beside her to keep her company. Capri eventually found a small cave and spent the rest of the night covering it with branches and leaves so people would not see it.
Other useful info:
Capri doesn't mind forming an alliance with a small group of people as long as they do their fair share of work.
Crim was a wild Ponyta that Capri tamed on her ranch. Crim is her most prized possession and her first pokemon.
Capri has traveled around each region and has managed to pick up one pokemon from each of them, but she has not defeated any of the gyms. . She is originally from a small ranch in the middle of Kanto.
Throw your heart over the fence and your horse will follow.

Funding via Kashf Foundation
To earn a living, she operates a retail shop. She has been in this business for three years. Her current monthly income from the business is approximately 26,600 KES.
She is seeking to borrow a loan in the amount of 60,000 KES, which she intends to make use of by buying more stocks of wheat flour, soft drinks, and washing detergents. She plans to reinvest any profits generated as a result of the loan back into the business. She successfully repaid her previous loans, and this would be her third loan.
Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

"Completion of this agreement is not just a win for exporters. It is also a win for the millions of potential new users around the world who can now access high-tech products at lower costs. Technology use is the key driver of productivity and growth in the global economy, so this is a victory for all involved," said Stephen Ezell in The Hill.

"Unfortunately, creating restrictive rules for emerging technology at such an emerging stage in its development without clear evidence of how it could actually end up affecting consumers can have unintended consequences that limit innovation by restricting business models or even cost," said Joshua New in Government Technology.

The ITA has been one of the most commercially successful trade deals in history. "The original agreement helped to boost annual worldwide information and communications technology trade from $1.2 trillion in 1996, when it took effect, to more than $5 trillion today," said Stephen Ezell in the South China Morning Post.

"Internet access should not be a partisan issue. It shouldn't even be a political issue. Broadband adoption is a real area of opportunity.

With only fourteen days left in the Nevada Legislature's 76th Regular Session, only a handful of pro-gun bills remain. Two measures have been signed into law by Governor Brian Sandoval, Assembly Bill 217, legislation providing for out-of-state purchase of long guns, and Assembly Bill 321, self-defense reform legislation, which was signed into law on May 19.
On Friday, May 20, the Senate unanimously passed Assembly Bill 143, introduced by state Assemblyman David Bobzien (D-24). This bill will now go back to the Assembly to be engrossed and then goes to the Governor for his consideration. AB 143 is similar in nature to SB 126 regarding the use of any semi-automatic pistol and any revolver to qualify for a CCW permit. AB 143 also ensures that the identity of Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) permit holders is kept confidential. Please contact Governor Sandoval and ask that he sign this important right to carry measure into law when it arrives on his desk. Governor Sandoval can be reached by e-mail here.
The bills that are still moving through the process include Senate Bill 231, introduced by state Senator John Lee (D- Clark County, No. 1) and Senate Bill 126, introduced by state Senators James Settelmeyer (R-Capitol Senatorial) and John Lee.
SB 231 is being held up in the state Senate Finance Committee with an unreported fiscal note requested by the Nevada System of Higher Education. This procedural maneuver is a desperate move to kill the bill and state Senator Lee is working hard to get the fiscal note removed so the measure can move to the state Senate for a floor vote. Please continue to contact the members of the state Senate Finance Committee and ask that they move SB 231 forward. Contact information for the committee is at the bottom of this alert.
SB 231 would allow individuals who hold a CCW permit to carry their firearm on the property of the Nevada System of Higher Education without first gaining permission from the university president, which is currently mandated by statue. It has been a long-held policy within the campus administration to not allow permit holders to carry, which has created an environment where students, faculty and staff are left defenseless in "gun-free" zones.
Senate Bill 126, introduced by state Senators James Settelmeyer (R-Capitol Senatorial) and John Lee, is still in the state Assembly waiting for a scheduled floor vote. SB 126 would streamline the CCW permit application and qualification process to allow a permit applicant to qualify with any pistol, similar to the current process for any revolver. The deadline for bills to be voted out of the second legislative body is this Friday, May 27th – so please contact your state Assemblyman in SUPPORT of SB 126. Contact information for your state Assemblyman can be found here.

Making Better Use of Space; There Are Still Thousands of Pounds to Be Saved in the Private Sector by Effective Office Space Rationalisation but the Signs Are That Complacency Could Be Setting in According to Nigel Mason, Partner at Rider Levett Bucknall
Byline: Nigel Mason
The topic of space management is at an all-time agenda high for the Government which has realised it could save billions of pounds by consolidating its own substantial work space use.
The public sector has taken its lead from the private sector which occupies office space, on average, at 12 sq m per person. Government statistics suggest personnel occupy office space at 25 sq m per person and the UK's health and safety executive says we must all have six square metres as a minimum.
With the government aspiring to reach pounds 1.25bn savings according to the OGC's efficiency standards for office space report, the possibility of reducing costs via a space rationalisation initiative is one that has to be taken seriously.
However, having being the energetic driver of the revisiting space programme, private sector activity seems to have slowed right down, with many companies assuming that they have done all they can to save costs after a bewildering two years of recession.
The private sector needs to keep pace; the spin off benefits of greater efficiency are many and the necessity to keep the building sustainable is a given.
Effective space rationalisation hits the bottom line well. In terms of outlay, commercial office space is an expensive necessity so why pay more than you have to? More efficiently planned space can create a better working environment for staff which has an unarguable effect on retention rates as well as attendance, and is also an opportunity to deliver improved IT, heating and cooling systems at reduced running costs and lower CO2 emissions. Greater flexibility can be built in too; being realistic, a company will sometimes need more or less space depending on its workloads, market conditions and office requirements and fixing permanent space solutions is now a thing of the past.
The process starts with a simple measurement and analysis of the work space to establish and the ratio of number of workstations to the available office area. …

BBB Consumer Alert: 1st Choice Home Services
As a leader in advancing marketplace trust, BBB is issuing a warning about 1st Choice Home Services. "1stChoice Home Services has shown that they don't operate with the level of trust and ethics that BBB expects from businesses," said Randy Hutchinson, CEO of BBB serving the Mid-South.
BBB has received 36 complaints from consumers in 11 states, 1 of which remains unanswered. BBB is concerned about the number and nature of complaints being received against 1stChoice Home Services, which has an F rating. The company offers carpet and duct cleaning services.
Many of the complainants from across the country had purchased coupons on social media/internet sites. Complaints allege poor service, missed appointments, bait and switch tactics and poor customer service. 1st Choice Home Services has begun responding to complaints, including some which were previously unanswered.
According to the company, 1st Choice Home Services operates in 22 states. A company representative told BBB that they send 4-man crews from Memphis to other states when they have enough work to warrant it.
The principals of 1stChoice Home Services have a history of operating similar companies in the past. Those businesses generated multiple consumer complaints to BBB which remain unanswered, earning them F ratings.
A Collierville, TN, woman complained that she got poor service from the company. "They did not actually clean the carpet but left a hard and sticky soap on the carpet that I later had to clean myself," she said.
A Tulsa, OK, woman complained that the company missed multiple appointments and would not return her phone calls. She told BBB, "I called on 5 different occasions throughout the day and each time I was assured that a manager would return my call. No one returned my call."
A Chicago, IL, man bought a coupon online. When the technicians arrived, they attempted to up-sell the services. The man told BBB,"This company is falsely trying to get customers to buy more than they need."
The BBB reminds consumers to follow some simple, common sense rules when dealing with a company they haven't done business with before.

As we know the Cupertino company has been using two microphones in the iOS smartphone and iOS tablet models, but they have used only one microphone in the smaller iOS tablet. Now we came to know that the Cupertino company was planning to use two microphones in its smaller tablet. According to Sonny Dickson, he has managed to get his hands on the photo of smaller iPad prototype. It shows two microphones. You can see the photo posted below.
From the above photo you can see the extra hole that is available at the top of the device. It was expected to be used for the second microphone. Currently, no information available about the reason why the Cupertino company has not used two microphones in its smaller tablet. According to Dickson, cost reduction may be the reason behind it. You can also find the extra hole in some iPad mini cases. It indicates that the Cupertino company has removed the second microphone from iPad mini at the last moment. It is expected that the company will use two microphones in the upcoming smaller iOS tablet. iPad mini 2 is expected be launched in the second half of 2013. Many people are waiting to purchase it. If you are a lover of smaller tablet, then you must be waiting for the upcoming smaller iOS tablet as it is one of the much anticipated iOS devices of 2013.
If the Cupertino company uses two microphones in the upcoming smaller iOS tablet, then it will allow users to enjoy improved audio quality while capturing video and making voice call. Still no word from the company regarding the next generation smaller iOS tablet. It is expected to come with A6X chip. You will be able to use Retina display compatible apps on this device as it will come with Retina display.

At times, parents and kids don't see eye to eye, and animals are no exception. In this video, mama bulldog Patches and her baby Elvis butt heads. Elvis was an "only puppy". He was born with a cleft lip and had a permanent sneer, hence the name Elvis. He became a very strong, energetic, and physically active Bulldog, and now he wants to prove he's a big boy now.
When his "mom" tries to give him a friendly push in the right direction, Elvis sasses her and throws a hilarious tantrum. He's ready for his independence, so talks back to his mom in the most adorable way ever. Can you believe the little sounds that came out of him? It's so cute!
"We were blessed to have him. His new family was thrilled to get him. What he lacked in physical perfection, he made up for in personality, as you can see," Elvis' owner wrote on YouTube.
Please SHARE this adorable video with all your family and friends.

That can't be easy when you're the Hammering Man.
The iconic, 48-foot-tall sculpture in front of the Seattle Art Museum has been idle since June, when workers painting over graffiti discovered a bulge in his shoulder that turned out to be a shifted counterweight.

The gear drive was removed and sent to Cone Drive Operations in Traverse City, Mich. Fabrication Specialties, of Seattle, will rebuild the motor and make repairs to the arm here.
This artistic equivalent of rotator-cuff surgery was bound to happen.
Hammering Man was created by sculptor Jonathan Borofsky to represent the working man. Since his installation in 1992, he's logged some 90,000 hours, striking four times a minute. That's about 21.6 million hits.
For that, the 22,000-pound steel-and-aluminum Hammering Man only gets one day of rest — Labor Day — for every year he's spent enduring rain, snow, camera flashes, Ride the Duck quacks and whatever else comes down First Avenue.
"This year, he's having a little bit of a longer break because of the extent of the repairs," said Lori Patrick, the public-relations manager for the Mayor's Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs. "You can get an oil change, but this is more of a motor rebuild or a new transmission."
The repairs will cost about $46,000 — city money designated for the maintenance and conservation of public art, she said.
Hammering Man should be back on the job by the end of the year.
As I stood below him the other morning, I couldn't help but pick up a whiff of irony, maybe a new symbolism.
The best-known worker in Seattle stopped working in the middle of a recession, and just as the state's jobless rate reached the highest level in more than a quarter-century: 9.2 percent, as of August.
"Lots of people aren't working around here," quipped Camille Griep, who lives in Lynnwood and works nearby. "I figured the Hammering Man not working was a sign of the times."
Griep's co-worker, Glenn Szerlong, figured the museum was cutting back, just like everyone else in the country.
"I thought they were just trying to save on electricity," he said.
Oh, but the musing over one man's motionlessness doesn't stop there.
Across the street at Stella Caffe, owner Rob Wilson wondered why the repair work had been sent out of state.
"This guy represents workers everywhere, but let's face it, people here need the job," Wilson said. "I'm not paying the city to send the repair work to Michigan. I reckon folks here need the money, too, right?"
They could also use the comfort of seeing a Seattle icon hammering us through the hard times.
"We miss him hammering because it's as integral a part of the piece as anything," said Nicole Griffin, spokeswoman for the Seattle Art Museum. "He's meant to be a kinetic work of art."
More than that, though, when the Hammering Man is working, Seattle is, too.
"He's part of Seattle's personality," Griffin said. "The view doesn't feel right."
No one knows that better than Will Peterson, who spends his days cleaning the streets of Seattle for the Metro Improvement District, while the Hammering Man labors nearby.
Peterson looked up at the Hammering Man like a friend on an extended medical leave since the start of summer.
"Has it been that long?" he said, shaking his head. "Poor guy."
Nicole Brodeur's column appears Tuesday and Friday. Reach her at 206-464-2334 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The group also called for an in-depth study into the costs and outcomes of different service models, access to independent advocacy for everyone placed away from home or in a hospital unit, and a two-year programme to support commissioners to deliver government policy.
As part of its investigations, Castlebeck has commissioned the consultancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers to carry out an independent review of its culture and medical practices. The NHS and South Gloucestershire Council have also launched their own investigations, and South Gloucestershire Safeguarding Adults Board has commissioned a serious case review.
The CQC has admitted that it missed opportunities to take action, and has announced a series of measures, including a review of services run by Castlebeck. It has also proposed unannounced inspections of 150 services providing care for people with a learning disability.
Speaking at a Mencap parliamentary reception in June, Care Services Minister Paul Burstow said he was determined that the Department of Health would "do everything humanly possible" to minimise the risk of similar abuse happening again. "Questions must be asked about how a model of care that is not government policy has continued to persist and is allowed to happen."
In a written statement, Burstow confirmed that the Department of Health will review the findings of each investigation, before reporting its recommendations to parliament. These recommendations, expected in the autumn, will need to take into account the findings of the Dilnot Commission on care funding, as well as the forthcoming social care white paper.
An advisory group has been formed to help determine the final recommendations. It includes Mencap's chief executive Mark Goldring, former national director for learning disabilities Anne Williams and Professor Jim Mansell, author of government guidance on learning disability services.
Anthea Sully, director of the Learning Disability Coalition, is part of a group advising the CQC on how it should carry out the unannounced inspections of care services.
"There were so many failings among the different organisations," she says. "So, it's right that each organisation is carrying out its own investigation."
However, she is concerned that rather than a far-sighted plan to overhaul social care services, the final response could merely paper over the cracks of a system that has repeatedly failed vulnerable people: "One of my fears is where that piece of work is going to be held, now that the 'Valuing People Now' programme has been mothballed. Where's the overarching view of the support that people receive?"

Who hates Kobe, Lamar's wife screaming and Sasha's uncomfortable Boston lunch
BOSTON -- Here's the timeline from my Twitter account during the Lakers-Celtics game Sunday. It's in reverse order, so if you want to relive the game, start at the bottom.
Kobe got new tape job at halftime, helping his shooting. Postgame, ankle taped again, plus compression wrap to prep for flight to Memphis.
Doc said BOS "went back and forth" on whether to have Tony Allen guard Kobe at end instead of Ray Allen, but wanted "a star guarding a star"
Doc Rivers said first option on last shot was well-defended Pierce, second option Ray Allen, who went 0 for 6 behind arc in the game.
About last shot vs. Ray Allen (not one of his all-time fave people, remember), Kobe said w/o sore ankle he scored w/o usual elevation edge.
Phil was "mystified" Kobe had been missing shots from that area. But Kobe told him "next one he got there" was going down.
Celtics ballboy overheard: "I hate Lakers. I hate Kobe."
Celtics official overheard: "Kobe doesn't do that? Kobe does that every game."
Credit Drew for giving ball back to Kobe on that last play -- understanding Kobe gave it to him just to reset and attack anew.
Lakers celebrate like this was NBA Finals game after Ray Allen's 3-pointer misses. Bynum (19p, 11r) particularly ecstatic, and rightly so.
Phil not happy Lamar unready to get defensive rebound when we know ball is likely to skip off rim to opposite side like that.
Gasol not coming back with 2:23 to play and Lakers down 2.
Sasha just ran back out to rejoin team after apparently needing to go to the bathroom.
Artest gets earful from PJ entering TO for launching 25-foot miss w/Lakers down by 2 w/2:45 left. Artest palms up. Fish explaining further.
Lamar (17 mins) should be fresh. RT @KhloeKardashian: OMG my little sister thinks I'm nuts for how I am screaming at the TV. Sorry Kendall!
Josh Powell and Fish trying to re-energize Lakers in timeout. They look like a team nearing end of 13-day road trip.
Phil has Kobe on Rondo, same as 2008 NBA Finals, to avoid Kobe having to chase Ray Allen through picks.
RT @RicBucher: 2 B clear, they cnt get Devin. They inquired, that was it. I reported it as reflection of LAL mindset, not b/c was happening.
Celtics break out Van Halen's "Dreams" for 4th qu and recorded messages from players on scoreboard insisting on NOISE.
After 1-for-7, 1-assist 2nd quarter, Kobe was 2-for-2 w/2 assists in 3rd quarter. Lakers still lost 2 points of ground.
RT @RicBucher: West coaches respect Pau, but Celtics don't. To a man they punk him every chance they get. Still waiting to see him respond.
Bynum has 17 points; Kobe and Pau each has 11.
Bynum's surprisingly powerful dunk has Scalabrine talking to Eddie House on Boston bench.
Odom telling Gasol in timeout that he could've just gone right to the hoop w/no defense there. Now Phil advising Pau, too.
Those FTs were Gasol's first points in nearly 11 minutes of play.
Artest shot (and missed) that last 3 without even getting a good grip on it he was so rushed. Did scrap to keep possession, tho.
Lakers tried hard to work it to Artest in the post against Pierce first 2 possessions of 2nd half to no avail. Timing/spacing not right.
Eddie House just swished it from halfcourt to finish Boston's halftime shooting.
Kobe did minimal halftime shooting but did some extra dribbling work on his own while teammates shot around.
He does have team-high 4 assists (tho Rondo has 10). RT @clintrules: @KevinDing will you please tell kobe to pass the damn ball? Thanks
That was a huge shot by Fish, because Kobe misses again (4/11 from field) to make it 52-47 BOS at halftime.
Fisher takes his 1st shot 16 minutes into game -- and swishes contested 3-pointer.
Rondo using both sides of the floor beautifully, sucking Lakers transition D one way, then throwing other way for Pierce's 3.
Reason Kobe thinking to go alone. RT @LakersReporter: L.A. hasn't scored since 7:43 of 2nd. We're at 3:45 and counting (12-0 C's run, 46-40) a
Bad possession by Kobe. He missed Drew flashing alone to the hoop, then committed offensive foul trying to drive.
Bynum complaining to every ref he can find that Rondo came at him with flying elbow to face -- but foul called on Bynum.
Artest was covering for Bynum and leaning on Kendrick Perkins in the post on that last play, leaving Pierce all alone for 3-pointer.
Pau's only rest was 1:42 in 1st qu. Phil's going to play top guys longer today and play reserves longer in MEM tomorrow.
Kobe easily beat winded Tony Allen the past 2 times down but blew the shot both times. 40-40.
Allen is visibly winded. RT @LakersReporter: Who knew Tony Allen would score 12 points off bench for Bos? He's taken 9 of Boston's 27 shots.
When Bynum got his defensive 3 seconds violation, Odom told him not to worry about it. Odom just got one, too.
Lakers shooting 13/20 from the field as Kobe returns. Only Laker not to make half his shots is Sasha (0/1).
Replay of Tony Allen pelting Walton w/ball to save it from out of bounds shown 1 extra time on arena monitor for 1 more roar.
Tony Allen's pants are going to fall down soon.
Luke giveth (setting up Jordy with triangle execution) and taketh away (late defensive slide to help, leading to Rondo's 3-point play)
Eddie House yelled: 3 seconds!" and pointed at Bynum, prompting Bynum to jump out of lane. That paved way for Tony Allen's layup.
Bynum's dunk over KG -- timing not there again -- gets whole Lakers bench on its feet.
Sheed shouldered Gasol. And Gasol shouldered him back HARDER. That triggered this little skirmish.
Doc Rivers said Garnett was literally talking to himself 2 games ago at halftime in ORL, trying to slow himself down and regain timing.
KG throws elbow into Sasha's chest before rebound. Sasha definitely felt that one.
Kobe smiling and chatting with courtside Boston fans before inbounding ball out of timeout.
Sasha is hated in Bos and made mistake of just wearing beanie (not baseball cap to hide) to lunch ... and did not feel welcome.
Artest looked like he wanted to fight Pierce on 1st play. Shoulder foul into KG was exaggerated by KG, tho. Now Artest for 3. He's in it.
Went up to arena concourse and noticed young blonde in purple Kobe jersey in line for restroom getting sneers from Boston fans
Bynum needed to visit dentist a few days ago for root canal on front tooth ... a product of that Shaq elbow to start trip.
Doc Rivers was clear where he stands on Ariza vs. Artest, saying flat-out about Lakers: "They're better."

Floodwaters from the Skykomish River have covered four blocks of Main Street near Highway 2 in downtown Sultan.
SULTAN — Floodwaters from the Skykomish River have covered four blocks of Main Street near Highway 2 in downtown Sultan.
Sultan High School students were released from classes at about 9 a.m. to help fill sandbags and stack them in front of businesses along Main Street, which runs parallel to the highway.
"I've changed my clothes five times," said Sultan High student Andrew Gardner.
A family of four living near the river at the east end of town had to be evacuated this morning when floodwaters surrounded their mobile home.

Ken Hopkins, deputy chief of Snohomish County Fire District No. 5 in Sultan, said crews brought in a boat from the Gold Bar Fire Department and floated the family and their two dogs to safety.
"The water came up quickly," Hopkins said. "They waited too long. Most of the time people wait too long."
Another couple, including a man in a wheelchair, had to be rescued when their car was surrounded by water on Ben Howard Road, said Merlin Halverson, District 5 fire chief.
Halverson said the Skykomish River peaked at 19 feet at about 1 p.m., two feet less than had been predicted.
"Looks like we got lucky,"Halverson said.
Sultan Mayor Carolyn Eslick said volunteers would continue to stockpile sandbags throughout the afternoon, but she said the absence of snow in the mountains lessened the possibility that the flooding would be as extensive as seen in 2006.
Kim Jorgensen, a homeless man who lives on the bank of the Skykomish River, said he and about 10 other people evacuated their campground before dawn this morning. He said the water was thigh deep as he carried his belongings, including a sleeping bag and camping gear, to higher ground.
Jorgensen was the only person at a Red Cross shelter set up in the Volunteers of America Family Support Center in Sultan Wednesday afternoon.
Hunter MacKay, a Red Cross volunteer, said the Red Cross would provide hot meals and cots to anyone seeking shelter through the night.
But, he said, "Most people would rather go anywhere else."

GILLETT, Ark. (AP) - It's voters like Jammy Turner who give Republicans hope of ending an Arkansas political dynasty and taking control of the U.S. Senate this fall.
Turner says he respects the Democratic incumbent, Mark Pryor, who wants a third term. But Turner supports Republican Tom Cotton, a freshman congressman.
Cotton tells voters that Pryor's association with President Barack Obama makes him the wrong senator for Arkansas.
Pryor portrays himself as an Arkansan more than a "national Democrat." He sidesteps Obama, instead of criticizing him.
Arkansas lagged behind other Southern states in shifting toward the GOP. But Republicans racked up huge victories in the past two elections.
Democrat Blanche Lincoln lost big when she sought a third Senate term four years ago.
The Pryor-Cotton race will signal how far Arkansas' realignment will go.

Above the fold
In my many years working as the editor or reporter on newspapers in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, and most recently as editor/publisher of The Jewish Transcript, I am shocked — and angry — that the JTNews ran what appeared to be a paid half-page ad blasting Israel, for fighting back against Hamas rocket attacks, under the guise of a news story in your Aug. 8 issue, page 14. Oh yes, inserted in the fourth paragraph the tiny, two-line acknowledgment: "We also condemn the indiscriminate rocket attacks by Hamas against the civilian population living in Israel. We stand in solidarity with the ordinary people of Israel and their desire for security, and in particular with the Israeli anti-war movement."
Compounding this severe breach of journalistic integrity, is the headline set in regular news headline style: "Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant's letter to the president." A general, no-information headline. And this lengthy missive, which runs for half a page, is set in blue type, at an angle, as a paid display ad would be handled, but giving the deceptive impression this is a straight news story.
I know JTNews has given ample space to the now debunked and fading J Street. These are the self-professed friends of Israel. This well-financed group describes itself as Jews and others who care about the tiny nation of Israel. Right. But it is always critical of the way Israel is forced to defend itself, as it must in Gaza, and wherever else rockets and terror come from. Of course most J Street heroes live half a world away from the daily Hamas rocket attacks. Difficult to be braver than that — without risk.
But still curious to learn who, if anyone, paid for that pro-terrorism ad in the JT. Or, is it all just an error in failing to properly label this a paid ad atop the ad?
Phil Scheier
Editor's note: The printing of Sawant's letter, with a note offering information on how to contact the councilwoman, was an attempt to make readers aware of the proposed letter and to suggest that our readers contact her with concerns. We apologize if this created any confusion.

In a June 6 letter, Bruce Courtway has a problem with "Truck traffic heavy again on 4th Plain." Truck traffic to and from the Port of Vancouver has increased a lot since the Mill Plain extension. This is a good thing. More freight means more jobs and more taxes to keep those streets in great shape.
The extension was a great concept. Two lanes in either direction to quickly move freight to I-5. Sounds simple doesn't it? And it probably was until engineers, designers and politicians got hold of the plan. Everyone decided that instead of building a functional roadway, they'd build it pretty, too. So, they spent extra cash on pretty little shrubs, now overgrown with weeds. They spent money on pretty little lights, now blocked by growing trees. Then they installed a lot of traffic lights between the port and the freeway. Traffic lights, the sworn enemy of trucks. Stop, go, shift and shift again. These lights allow only one or two trucks at a time through, preventing any smooth flow of cargo. So there you go. A few reasons why there are more trucks on Fourth Plain.
Don't blame the trucks as they are just trying to make a living by taking the quickest route. Mill Plain isn't it.

Top-ranked Djokovic beaten by Berdych in Rome
ROME Novak Djokovic can't seem to find any consistency on clay courts. And with the French Open less than 10 days away, he will enter Roland Garros on the back of two early defeats.
The top-ranked Serb wasted a chance to serve out the match and was beaten 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 by sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych in the Italian Open quarterfinals Friday.
In the semifinals, Berdych will face six-time Rome champion Rafael Nadal, who defeated fellow Spaniard David Ferrer 6-4, 4-6, 6-2. While he struggled at times, Nadal appeared sharper than in his three-set win over Latvian qualifier Ernests Gulbis a day earlier.
In the other half of the draw, Roger Federer overcame an early break in the second set to edge rising Polish player Jerzy Janowicz 6-4, 7-6 (2) in a night match at the Foro Italico.
Federer will play Benoit Paire, the 36th-ranked Frenchman who routed Marcel Granollers of Spain 6-1, 6-0 to reach his first Masters series semifinal.
In the women's tournament, top-ranked Serena Williams rolled past Spanish opponent Carla Suarez Navarro 6-2, 6-0 to extend her winning run to a career-best 22 matches. Williams will face Romanian qualifier Simona Halep, who rallied past two-time Rome champion Jelena Jankovic 4-6, 6-0, 7-5.
Meanwhile, two-time defending champion Maria Sharapova withdrew before her quarterfinal against seventh-seeded Sara Errani due to illness. Errani, the first Italian semifinalist in this tournament since Raffaella Reggi won the 1985 event in Taranto, will face third-seeded Victoria Azarenka, who held off ninth-seeded Sam Stosur 6-4, 1-6, 6-3.
It's the second consecutive week that Djokovic has struggled, having also lost to Grigor Dimitrov in the second round of the Madrid Open after being bothered by a right ankle injury.
Djokovic said he had been playing pain free this week.
Still, he will need to get his game in shape in a hurry with the French Open, the year's second Grand Slam, starting May 26.
"I know I can play well on clay and so I shouldn't allow myself to have these drops, and let's hope it won't happen for Roland Garros," Djokovic said about the only major he hasn't won. "I'm fine. I just lost my rhythm."
Djokovic served for the match at 5-3 in the second set, but Berdych ripped a backhand winner that landed on the line on his first break point and won the final four games of the set.
"It's a very strange situation," Djokovic said. "I played very well and was two points from winning. Then the entire match changed and I was a different player."
It's the first time Berdych has reached the semifinals in eight appearances in Rome, having been eliminated four times in the quarters.
The tall Czech took control of the match with his big first serve, and by coming forward to angle shots into the corners to set up easy volleys.
Djokovic had trouble returning Berdych's first serve and also complained about the court's surface early on.
In the third set, Berdych went ahead with an early break and then shook off some nerves to close the match out on his fourth match point with a big serve out wide that Djokovic could barely get his racket on.
As overcast skies gave way to sunshine, the court dried out, favoring Berdych's power game.
"I lost the concentration," Djokovic said. "I started playing more defensively. ... He started playing more confidently, stepping into the court and taking advantage of his opportunities."
It was only Berdych's second win in 15 career meetings with Djokovic, with his only previous victory coming in the 2010 Wimbledon semifinals.

A major challenge for web archivists is the low visibility that downstream archiving has on upstream web content creation. And, yet, deliberate and inadvertent architectural decisions made by web content creators strongly impact the ease or difficulty with which their websites can be captured and faithfully re-presented. A non-trivial byproduct of webmasters helping to ensure their content is archived for their own later use is that the Web itself becomes more archivable, to everyone's benefit.
When you think about scientific data, you might think primarily about numbers and graphs and charts. But some data sets consist of rich image collections, including these data sets that have been preserved in the Stanford Digital Repository!
The Stanford University Libaries is one of the founding partners of the International Image Interoperability Framework (http://iiif.io), which aims to enable broad access to cultural heritage images on the web. This exciting initiative is in its fifth year and is beginning to have an impact on the way digital images are used to support research and teaching. The IIIF editors recently released version 2.0 the IIIF API's, which is a major step towards creating a stable and sustainable technology framework for image interoperability.
To celebrate this progress, the IIIF community is hosting a one day information sharing event at the British Library about the use of images in and across cultural heritage institutions. The day will focus on how museums, galleries, libraries and archives, or any online image service, can take advantage of a powerful technical framework for interoperability between image repositories. This event will be valuable for organizational decision makers, repository and collection managers, software engineers, and anyone interested in exploring the wide range of use cases that are seamlessly enabled by the framework.
Attendance is free, and widespread dissemination of the event is encouraged.
A detailed program is available at http://iiif.io/event/2014/london.html and those interested can register to attend at http://bit.ly/iiiflondon2014.
Porter Olsen from the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) hosted a full-day webinar at Stanford University on Friday, August 29, 2014 to introduce archivists from Stanford University Libraries, the Hoover Institute, and UC Berkeley's Bancroft Library to BitCurator, an open-source all-in-one suite of digital forensics tools.
Stanford Libraries' Dr. Robert Sanderson is the inaugural co-chair of the new W3C Web Annotation Working Group
In a move that will have a profound and long-lasting impact on the library sector, the W3C officially chartered a new working group on Web Annotation on August 20, 2014. Stanford Libraries staff member, Rob Sanderson, will serve as the working group's inaugural co-chair.
The W3C is the standards body that guides the development of the Web, and has had a longstanding Open Annotation Community Group focused on how to annotate digital resources on the Web. As a newly chartered working group, the output of these discussions can now be channeled into official W3C recommendations, and baked into fabric of the Web itself.
As library content and services become increasingly digital, the ability to annotate it--provide commentary, analysis, reviews, transcription, description, links and more--is increasingly a concern. By helping define a standard approach to annotation (in the broadest sense) of web resources, libraries can help fulfill their traditional mission of supporting research, scholarly communication and the diffusion of knowledge in the 21st century. And by working deeply in standards efforts like those of the W3C, libraries can help ensure their technologies and services are integral to and leverage the latest information technologies, instead of competing with them or lagging behind.
Dr. Sanderson, who joined Stanford Libraries in April of 2014, brings extensive experience in annotations to the W3C and Stanford. He was one of the principal investigators of the Open Annotation Collaboration, a precursor to the W3C community group, where he also served as co-chair and a driving force. In recognition of his ongoing contributions and position within the community, Dr. Sanderson is serving as one of the co-chairs of the Working Group, which is a boon for the W3C, for Stanford, and for the future of annotation on the Web.
For the second year in a row, students from ME310 Project Based Engineering Design submitted their final projects to the SDR for preservation. With the submission of these 19 projects, we also preserved the Winter quarter reports for the students' design projects. This year's projects covered a variety of products from construction equipment to designing a better way to chill a drink to creating a better flying experience for passengers with limited mobility. These projects help inform future classes about design process as well as create a network of contacts for future work.

Music as Social Life

People around the world and throughout history have used music to express their inner emotions, reach out to the divine, woo lovers, celebrate weddings, inspire political movements, and lull babies to sleep. InMusic as Social Life, Thomas Turino explores why it is that music and dance are so often at the center of our most profound personal and social experiences. Turino begins by developing tools to think about the special properties of music and dance that make them fundamental resources for connecting with our own lives, our communities, and the environment. These concepts are then put into practice as he analyzes various musical examples among indigenous Peruvians, rural and urban Zimbabweans, and American old-time musicians and dancers. To examine the divergent ways that music can fuel social and political movements, Turino looks at its use by the Nazi Party and by the American civil rights movement. Wide-ranging, accessible to anyone with an interest in music's role in society, and accompanied by a compact disc,Music as Social Lifeis an illuminating initiation into the power of music.

4 Food Trends We're Sick Of
Service with a Dollop of Air
Why are restaurant menus enumerating the pedigree of every ingredient in a dish, as well as its preparation method, infused with a few ultra-foodie terms just in case you weren't confused enough? You won't see Broiled Pork Chops on a menu. Instead, it's Organic Heritage Pennsylvania Center-Cut Pork Loin Chop Broiled a la Plancha with a Soubise of Toy Box Tomatoes, Hydroponic Watercress, Micro Arugula, accompanied by a Nougatine of Spring Onions, garnished with a Daikon Escabèche, topped with Prune Essence and Juniper Foam. Want fries with that?

It's Not Your Grandfather's Sidecar
Complicated cocktails are all the rage now, and mixologists are happy to oblige. They delicately stir drinks to aerate them, spritz the rims of glasses with preparations that add floral notes, take the time to carefully muddle and grind spices, and artfully carve exotic fruit into masterful garnishes.
Once this masterpiece of modern design is handed to the patron, the bartender sits back and awaits a nod of approval. And he is soon rewarded with a simple response: "Can you add more booze to this thing?"
Joe Bruno, director, American Bartenders School, New York City
The continued proliferation of flatbread is a source of concern and mystery for me. Had regular bread gotten too puffy for everyone? I must have missed the anti-puff movement. Now I feel sorry for the word loaf. Loaf is so much more than simply sitting around in your underpants. Oh, and another thing, just because you touched the bread before handing it to me does not make it "artisanal."
Henry Alford, author of How to Live: A Search for Wisdom from Old People (While They Are Still on This Earth)
It's Bacon!
Don't you think bacon is a little too pleased with itself these days? This breakfast food, which began life humbly on the belly of a pig, has lately made its uppity way into all sorts of products. There's bacon air freshener, bacon mints, bacon beer, gummy bacon, bacon lip balm, bacon-flavored envelopes, bacon soap, bacon lollipops, bacon gum balls, bacon mayonnaise, bacon popcorn, bacon chocolate, maple bacon coffee. And should any of the above get stuck in your teeth, you can clean it out with bacon-flavored floss. Actually, it's not bacon I hate. I hate the people who tell me, bursting with naughty pride, how they gobble up their favorite source of saturated fat by the pound. Big deal—so you're not a health foodie. Want to truly impress me with your reckless daring? How about trying a headcheese smoothie?
