OKC Thunder: Reggie Jackson has ability to make a huge impact on series
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — In between watching games from a spacious suite inside Chesapeake Energy Arena and rehabbing his right knee, Russell Westbrook has spent his time watching movies and tutoring teammates.
"Even though I'm out," Westbrook said, "I still have a voice and I can help my team."
Perhaps no player has been under Westbrook's tutelage more than his replacement, Reggie Jackson.
"Yeah, Coach Westbrook's done a good job," Jackson joked. "Watching the game and observing, he's definitely on me a lot about pedal to the metal and just trying to make plays for others and myself and that will take the load off Kevin (Durant)."
We'll see how just how good of a Coach Westbrook is on Saturday afternoon.
Should he take Westbrook's advice and put the pedal to the metal, Jackson could emerge as a key player in Game 3 against the Memphis Grizzlies. Though he's been solid since stepping in as the starting point guard, Jackson has yet to tap into his offensive abilities in this series. The moment he does could become a turning point for the Thunder.
Turnovers and subpar rebounding were the main problems for Oklahoma City in Game 2. But the common denominator in each of the first two games was Durant had to carry the offensive load. In both games only one other player provided consistent scoring.
That's where Jackson comes in.
"He's one of the guys we have that can make a play for himself and can break down the defense," said Thunder forward Nick Collison.
Jackson might be the only player other than Durant who can do those things.
The problem is he hasn't. Yet.
Jackson has averaged just 11 points against the Grizzlies. He's attempted only 16 shots.
In his first four games as Westbrook's replacement, Jackson averaged 17.3 points against Houston. He averaged 13.5 shots over that span, and Jackson's offensive contributions became a big factor in the Thunder making it out of that first-round series.
But Jackson hasn't asserted himself since Game 6, when he was brilliant and came three rebounds and two assists shy of a triple-double.
Of Jackson's 16 shot attempts, four have been 3-pointers. He's missed all four. Another three have come from 15 feet and beyond. Only five of Jackson's 16 field-goal attempts have come within five feet of the rim.
It's a trend the Thunder needs to see Jackson change. What he's best at — breaking down the defense, knifing his way into the painted area and either finishing plays or creating for others — he hasn't been doing in this series.
After attempting 36 percent of his shots from within five feet in the regular season, Jackson is down to 26 percent of his attempts coming from that same distance in the playoffs.
"He's a great finisher around the rim," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "It'd be nice for him to get some more paint opportunities and get to the free throw line because we can use that. We can use those extra possessions at the (foul) line."
Because guard Kevin Martin continues to be inconsistent in this postseason, and forward Serge Ibaka has struggled with his shot, Jackson has to do more. When he doesn't, it puts even more pressure on Durant to be the primary ball-handler, scorer and facilitator for 40-plus minutes.
"I'm going to try to just get in the paint and make plays," Jackson said. "That's kind of my role on this team with the abilities I have. So I just got to stay aggressive and pedal to the metal and just try to make plays."
Memphis, however, has a much better defense than Houston did, and that might partially explain Jackson's drop off. Rather than being defended by Patrick Beverly and Aaron Brooks, Jackson is now being covered by Mike Conley and Tony Allen.
"He just has to play within what his capabilities are," Scott Brooks said. If there's openings he has to attack. If he has that in transition, great. If he has it in the halfcourt, great. But I think he's better when he does attack."


text: First time when I saw the announcement trailer, it was looking good. Now with AE released it's such a huge disappointment. You can't share replays - you can open up a channel with multiple replays select that play in a loop. Thats not truly sharing. Sharing would be sending the replay files directly to someone or let them download the replays. The old lag bug for European and Asian replay viewers is still in the game and makes it impossible to join these channels and watch/safe replays. It would have so much cooler if you also see replays when they lost. See and learn why they lost and it may help not to do these mistakes. Thats one of the key points of replays also replays from other player.

- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
New York Trust Co. v. Eisner, 256 U.S. 345 (1921)
New York Trust Company v. Eisner
No. 286
Argued April 25, 26, 1921
Decided May 16, 1921
1. The Act of September 8, 1916, c. 463, Title II, § 201 et seq., 39 Stat. 777, imposes a tax on the transfer of the net estate of every decedent, graduated according to the value as ascertained by deducting, in the case of a resident, from the gross estate, funeral, administration and other expenses and charges, and a specified exemption; the tax is due in one year from the decedent's death, is payable primarily by the personal representative, and is made a lien upon the gross estate except such part as is paid out for allowed charges, etc. Held, an indirect tax, not requiring apportionment, and not an unconstitutional interference with the rights of the states to regulate descent and distribution. P. 256 U. S. 348. Knowlton v. Moore, 178 U. S. 41.
2. That the tax may occasion inequalities in amounts received by beneficiaries does not affect its validity. P. 256 U. S. 349.
3. "Charges against the estate," deductible under § 203 of the act in computing net value, affect the estate as a whole, and therefore do not include state inheritance and succession taxes on the shares of individual beneficiaries. P. 256 U. S. 350.
263 F. 620 affirmed.
The case is stated in the opinion.

The Sims Medieval
Question from Trentlorenson
How do I get past (marry suitor)?
Tells me to marry suitor but cant figure out how too. My suitor has an icon over her head but wont lt me ask to marry her.
5 years ago
In the top left corner you should see a little icon of the person you are interacting with. Right underneath that, it will say what they think of you at that very moment, depending on how you have been interacting. The more extreme the the feeling, the more options you get for socializing in a particular area. If you use a bunch of friendly options, for example, it will go from "he/she is listening to [player]" to "he/she thinks [player] is being sociable" to "he/she thinks [player] is being friendly."
Use a bunch of romantic interactions in a row and eventually it will say he or she finds you extremely irresistible. You should now have the option to propose engagement, and if he or she accepts and still finds you extremely irresistible, you should have the option to get married.
They may stand around a while before anything happens; this is normal. If it's crowded, they may complain about people getting in the way, and you just have to keep trying until they figure out where they can stand.

For the second time Wednesday Greenville's emergency response team was called out.
The latest happened around 2:30 p.m. at Creekside Apartments on Wandsworth Drive.
Police say there was a brief hostage situation with a man wanted for an earlier fight on Watauga Avenue. Officers were told the man was armed with a gun.
The man, according to police, barricaded himself in an acquaintance's apartment with her two children.
Police say the situation was resolved in about 45 minutes with the man surrendering with no shots being fired.
Charges are pending against the man.
Several hours earlier the team responded to Brownlea Drive for a standoff with an armed man. That situation also ended peacefully.

Peter: Black mail call!
Lois: Peter, you were supposed to collect Cleveland's mail, not go through it.
Peter: Lois, black people aren't like you and I, and I find that hilarious!
(after the the judge rules in favor of McBurgertown industries)
Peter: What!? Hey c'mon, that's not fair!
Judge: Well Mr. Griffin, what did you expect? They have a hundred lawyers. And you tried to bribe me with a subsription to Grape Soda Today, which I already have!
Lois: Peter, have you seen Brian?
Peter: (with his back to her, his voice is muffled) No, Lois. I have not.
Lois: Well, I haven't seen him since this morning and I--what is that on your head?
(Peter turns to reveal Brian duct taped to his face)
Peter: It's a mustache, Lois! What, you've never seen a mustache before?!
Brian: (calmly)Lois, would you mind calling the police or something?
Peter: Quiet, mustache!
Peter: (looking at Mustache Aficionado Magazine) Wow, look at these men. What class! What grace! And all because of a little upper lip hair. Lois, I am gonna grow a mustache. And I'll have it made like the Monopoly guy. Except when he goes directly to jail.
(Peter is seen walking into a stem-cell research facility, and later walking out all cured)
Peter: How long was I in there?
Guard: About five minutes.
Peter: Why are we not funding this!?
Stewie: Well Brian, you've lost your bet. I, or rather my alter-ego Zack Sawyer, am currently the most popular boy at James Woods High.
Brian: Well, Stewie, you got the best of me on this one, congratulations. I guess you'll be hanging up your wig now?
Stewie: Oh no Brian, I'm enjoying myself too much. Do you know I have a date with Connie D'amico this Saturday night at Anal Point?
Brian: Ah, I've heard about that place.
Stewie: Really? What's it like? Because I have no idea.
Brian: Well, uh... I suppose if you imagine it like a parking space that you think "gosh, there's no way I'm gonna be able to fit in there." But then you fold in the side view mirrors, and sure enough, well, look at that.
Stewie: Well, in that scenario, it sounds like I'd rather be the parking space than the car.
Brian: Yeah, that's what I always guessed.
Stewie: (after watching One Tree Hill) God these high school students are lame. I'm a freaking baby, and I'm cooler than they are.
Brian: What the hell do you know about high school?
Stewie: Are you kidding? These kids today are so easy to manipulate. If you plopped me in the middle of a high school, I could be the most popular kid there in a week.
Brian: Really, would you care to place a wager on that?
Stewie: Absolutely, what are the stakes?
Brian: Okay, if I win, and you can't do it, you have to put your nose in Meg's hat and take an eight second inhale.
Stewie: Okay, it's a bet.
Brian: Great.
Stewie: Kiss on it?
Brian: What?
Peter: If i'm gay then Freddy Mercury was gay.
Brian: Freddy Mercury? The lead singer of Queen? He was incredibly gay.
Peter: He was not, he had a mustache.
This was Ricardo Montalban's final role before his death.
This is the third and final episode that was aired by FOX without final approval from Seth MacFarlane, who was on strike with the Writers Guild of America at the time of the original airing.
One working title for this episode was Peter Strokes His Meat.
Heinz Foods
The badges on the fire helmets is similar to the Heinz Foods shield, as seen on the familiar Heinz Ketchup bottle. The "57" refers to their trademark 57 varieties.
Zack Sawyer
Stewie's alter ego "Zack Sawyer" is a parody of "Peyton Sawyer", a character from popular teen drama One Tree Hill
Josie and the Pussycats
One shot of the Pleasent Valley Sunday video features Peter, the Cow, Brian and the Cops popping into a four-way split screen, duplicating a sequence from the opening titles of this 1970s cartoon series, which itself often featured the type of musical chase scene spoofed here.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
The Cow (voice by Ricardo Montalban) states that many died in the slaughter house including "my beloved wife". Khan (who was also played by Montalban) says this to Kirk when talking about stranding him on Seti Alpha VI.
Wimpy: I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
Wimpy was a character in the Paramount cartoon series Popeye, who had a fondness for hamburgers but never had any money.
Mayor McCheese
When the man at the McBurgertown headquarters is giving Peter and Brian a tour, one of the pictures visible in the background is strikingly similar to a McDonaldland character, Mayor McCheese, who has a human body but a cheeseburger for a head.
The title of this episode is a play on the prefix McDonald's attaches to many of their menu items.
Peter mentions "With great mustache, comes great responsibility!" A spoof from Spider-man's famous line; "With great power, comes great responsibility!"
The Monkees
The "chase" scene in the McBurgertown headquarters is a nod to the 60's sitcom The Monkees, complete with the song 'Pleasant Valley Sunday'.
Shawshank Redemption
The Monopoly Guy's fight in jail against three other prisoner's is a reference to the 1994 movie Shawshank Redemption.

Raising wild gamebirds; A lesson in caretaking
"Back when we first got the chicks [from CCE], they'd fit in the palm of my hand." Erin remarked. Sadly, this year, the Denmans lost more than a dozen of the 27 chicks they received, the first time this has happened to them. It turned out that the temporary storage bin they were in was too tall and the two heat lamps used to warm the tiny chicks were too far away from the babies to do the job. When they realized the problem, the changed to a different pen and things turned around quickly. "When they're that small, they're very sensitive to cold temperatures," Erin explained. "Now, after two weeks under the lights in their new container, they're healthy again and running around."
The Denmans take great care not to handle the birds except when they clean the small pen. As Kathy pointed out, "They are wild birds, and we are going to release them into the wild," so as caretakers, they don't want the birds bonding with them.
At around five weeks, the Denmans will move the pheasants from their indoor container in the basement to a large pen outdoors, well fortified to keep out predators. After 18 weeks, they will set them free into the wild. "For one week after we release them, I put out some food, but I dwindle it a little bit every day, until they go off on their own," Kathy explained. From time to time over the years, the family has seen some of their pheasants living nearby in the open.
In the Town of Liberty, the Kratz family—John and Tara and their three boys, ages 6, 10 and 13—are embarking on their first year of raising day-old chicks. Dustyn is the primary caretaker. "I'm really interested in animals," he said. (The family raises chickens, ducks and rabbits, and they have a hedge hog, a Guinea pig and two lizards.) Dustyn said he learned a lot about how to raise the pheasants from taking the educational class CCE offered this year. Like the Denmans, the Kratzs lost some of their chicks—eight of the 30 they got from CCE. Without the class, Dustyn contemplated that he might have lost more.
At CCE, Agriculture and 4H Educator Michelle Lipari explained that the class was designed both to teach how to care for the chicks and to give the students confidence.

New Indexes for Hedge Funds
Collins, Daniel P., Modern Trader
Zurich Capital Markets launched a series of indexes in March that track five hedge fund strategies. These indexes will help institutional investors and hedge fund managers understand how a strategy should be performing, absent manager skill. The strategies are convertible arbitrage, merger arbitrage, distressed securities, event driven and hedged equity.
"First and foremost, the indices provide a tool for institutional investors to measure the performance of their hedge-fund investments and, secondly, provide an asset allocation tool," says Garry Crowder, managing director of Zurich Capital Market's index platform. Though the indexes were mainly designed to provide institutional investors with a measuring stick for certain investment strategies and create a brand name for Zurich, The Zurich Institutional Benchmark Series, the hedge fund based on the indexes has collected $315 million in just over a month. Crowder says the hedge fund will reach $1 billion before the end of the year and $2-$3 billion by the end of 2002. He calls their methodology clean, concise and completely transparent.
"The [indexes] were designed to reflect investment practices common to its target market," says Crowder. He lists five keys for an index: appropriate [meaning it measures what it says it measures], unambiguous, investable, measurable and accountable.
To qualify to be included in the index, a hedge fund must be active for more than three years. Crowder says their strategy weeds out chronic underperformers and those doing something different than a specific hedge fund strategy. He notes that some funds may vary from their strategies to aid performance.
While Crowder believes his methods create a truer index, others question the selection method. "You can't have a representative sample by excluding new, small or poor performing managers," says Meredith Jones, director of research for Van Hedge Fund Index. Van indexes 18 different hedge fund strategies and doesn't exclude any hedge fund managers who report to them. Van claims the largest proprietary database of hedge fund information.
Crowder says weeding out poor performers and newer managers improves the overall accuracy of the index. "An investor is able to make informed decisions on what an asset class can return to their portfolios," Crowder says.
Zurich is "looking to expand into other markets,...providing indices for certain segments of alternative investments," he adds, such as a base of commodity trading advisors. He says that is part of the reason Zurich recently acquired the alternative investment funds database of MAR.

Children's Book
The Rainbow Stick boy by Michael Santolini
Book Description
(from Amazon)
This is the story of Huey, a stick boy who is born a little different than everyone else in the town. He doesn't let his differences keep him down. Huey finds a friend who is also a little different and together they find the magic at the end of the rainbow, and discover that their differences are really only skin deep.
Book Review
This is a children's book about diversity, in a form that children of all ages will totally understand. As part of a multicultural family I was impressed by its content and originality. It is well written and the illustrations are colourful, fresh and fitting to the story.
Huey is a boy who is born a mixture of colours in a world where people are uniformly one colour. This causes him problems of discrimination. He even tries to change the way he looks by making himself a straw suit to cover up his colours. He finds a friend who also looks a bit different and he begins to feel better. Huey's family love him and at the end of the adventure his different colours are not important. This is a significant tale of acceptance and about how people's attitudes can be changed for the better. It also could help children not to be afraid of different looking things or people. I will definitely read this to my granddaughter and would recommend it for children from a very young age.

First Thoughts on the Framework http://comminfolit.org/index.php?journal=cil&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=v9i2p101 Introduction to the special section of vol. 9, mo. 2 entitled "First Thoughts on the Framework." Robert Schroeder 2015-11-04 9 2015-11-04 First Thoughts on Implementing the Framework for Information Literacy http://comminfolit.org/index.php?journal=cil&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=v9i2p102 Following the action of the ACRL Board in February 2015 in accepting the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education as one of the "constellation of documents" that promote and guide information literacy instruction and program development, discussion in the library community continues about steps in implementing the Framework. The spectrum of possibilities for implementing the Framework encompasses both curricular and co-curricular settings within colleges and universities. At this early stage of implementing the Framework, we suggest five curricular and instructional structures that can be thought of as a continuum of deepened engagement with its core ideas. The second half of this article presents two examples that show possible ways to incorporate elements of the Framework: a redesigned single instruction session and a course that illustrates a hybrid model blending the unit-based assignments with a course redesign. Trudi E. Jacobson Craig Gibson 2015-11-04 9 2015-11-04 Seeking Social Justice in the ACRL Framework http://comminfolit.org/index.php?journal=cil&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=v9i2p111 The scope of this article is to address the possibilities and challenges librarians concerned with social justice may face when working with the ACRL Framework. While the Framework recognizes that information emerges from varied contexts that reflect uneven distributions of power, privilege, and authority, it is missing a cogent statement that connects information literacy to social justice. In this article, authors concerned with social justice and civic engagement will share their reflections on the Framework from a critical pedagogical and social justice orientation. Andrew Battista Dave Ellenwood Lua Gregory Shana Higgins Jeff Lilburn Yasmin Sokkar Harker Christopher Sweet 2015-11-05 9 2015-11-05 Teaching Information Literacy Through "Un-Research" http://comminfolit.org/index.php?journal=cil&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=v9i2p126 Students who write essays on research topics in which no outside sources are cited and accuracy is treated as negotiable generally should not expect to receive good grades, especially in an information literacy course. However, asking students to do just this was the first step in the "un-research project," a twist on the familiar annotated bibliography assignment that was intended to guide students away from "satisficing" with their choice of sources and toward a better understanding of scholarship as a conversation. The project was implemented as part of a credit-bearing course in spring 2014 with promising results, including a more thoughtful choice of sources on students' part. With some fine-tuning, the un-research project can offer an effective alternative to the traditional annotated bibliography assignment and can be adapted for a variety of instructional situations. Allison Hosier 2015-11-07 9 2015-11-07 A Pedagogy of Inquiry http://comminfolit.org/index.php?journal=cil&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=v9i2p136 Library instruction continues to evolve. Regardless of the myriad and conflicting opinions academic librarians have about the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy, the debates and the document itself have engendered greater discourse surrounding how and why librarians teach. The Framework provides an additional push toward designing instruction with big ideas rather than a skills-based curriculum. However, we still must contend with constraints imposed upon us by higher education taking on business models and enforcing a skills agenda. To enact the pedagogy of the Framework in contrast to changes in higher education presents a challenge. We should consider ways in which the Framework can help us push back against these neoliberal agendas in our pedagogy and reinvent our roles as librarian educators. Nicole Pagowsky 2015-11-09 9 2015-11-09 Ideology and Critical Self-Reflection in Information Literacy Instruction http://comminfolit.org/index.php?journal=cil&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=v9i2p145 Information literacy instruction traditionally focuses on evaluating a source for bias, relevance, and timeliness, and rightfully so; this critical perspective is vital to a well-formed research process. However, this process is incomplete without a similar focus on the potential biases that the student brings to his or her interactions with information. This paper describes a case study of a semester-long information literacy course that utilized neo-Marxist philosopher Louis Althusser's figurations of ideology and ideological state apparatuses as a site of critical self-reflection for students and a method by which students could become empowered to recognize themselves as not just consumers, but shapers of discourse. Jessica Critten 2015-11-09 9 2015-11-09 This is Really Happening: Criticality and Discussions of Context in ACRL's Framework for Information Literacy http://comminfolit.org/index.php?journal=cil&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=v9i2p157 The development of the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy has sparked an immense amount of conversation among academic librarians, though the profession is still far from consensus with regards to if, when, or how the document should be implemented. This essay argues that despite debates over various points within the text, the overall theme of the Framework is a call for librarians and educators to recognize the importance of context when discussing information literacy. As this relates to the curriculum of higher education, instruction and assignments can no longer afford to separate "school" from "real life." Classroom instruction must recognize the political, cultural, and socioeconomic dimensions of information, as well as the systems of privilege and oppression that accompany these dimensions, and encourage students to critically engage with these systems when conducting research and creating information. Kevin Patrick Seeber 2015-11-09 9 2015-11-09 Continuing the Conversation: Questions about the Framework http://comminfolit.org/index.php?journal=cil&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=v9i2p164 Given the prevalence of the Information Literacy Competency Standards in the library profession for the past 15 years, and the heated debate that took place regarding whether or not the Framework for Information Literacy and the Standards could harmoniously co-exist, the article raises questions about the future of information literacy in higher education. We do not necessarily have answers to these questions, but offer our own perspectives, some insight into how the Standards have served New Jersey academic librarians in the past, and how we envision using the Framework and the Standards together to further information literacy instruction at our institutions. Discussions of these questions have led us to the conclusion that the Framework and the Standards serve different purposes and have different intended audiences and are thus both valuable to the library profession. Megan E. Dempsey Heather Dalal Lynee R. Dokus Leslin H. Charles Davida Scharf 2015-11-09 9 2015-11-09 Evaluating a Pre-session Exercise in a Standalone Information Literacy Class http://comminfolit.org/index.php?journal=cil&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=v9i2p176 In this study, researchers evaluate a homework exercise assigned before a standalone information literacy session. Students in a Master of Education program completed a worksheet using the ERIC database thesaurus. The researchers conducted pre- and posttests within a single library session to assess student learning, using a control group for comparison. The treatment group did not demonstrate better thesaurus skills than students who had regular library instruction alone, but results pointed the way to targeted improvements of pre-session learning materials. This approach could inform other information literacy homework applications such as flipping the classroom. Joseph E. Goetz Catherine R. Barber 2015-11-10 9 2015-11-10 A Survey of Librarian Perceptions of Information Literacy Techniques http://comminfolit.org/index.php?journal=cil&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=v9i2p186 Teaching research competencies and information literacy is an integral part of the academic librarian's role. There has long been debate among librarians over what are the most effective methods of instruction for college students. Library Faculty at a large urban University System were surveyed to determine their perceptions of the effectiveness of common information literacy instruction techniques. The system includes both two-year and four-year programs, as well as degree granting institutions. This research was undertaken for the purpose of better prioritizing institutional teaching activities in the current academic climate. The research shows that librarians within the University System believed that instructional models which give librarians more time with students, particularly highly-engaged students, are the most effective. Simone L. Yearwood Nancy M. Foasberg Kenneth D. Rosenberg 2015-11-10 9 2015-11-10 Colleges of Education Librarians in Nigeria: An Investigation into the Self-Perception of ICT-Related Information Literacy Skills http://comminfolit.org/index.php?journal=cil&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=v9i2p198 The purpose of the paper is to investigate the level of ICT related IL skills of librarians in COE libraries and to know some challenges librarians face in acquiring IL skills. Descriptive survey method was adopted using questionnaire.The study covered professionals and para-professional librarians in federal, state and private Colleges of Education libraries in the South-South and South-East geo-political zones of Nigeria. The findings revealed that the librarians rated their information literacy skills to be average. A correlation of the overall assessment of the librarians' IL skills with variables such as institution, gender, years of experience and qualifications revealed differences among the librarians. The study also revealed that the librarians acquired their IL skills through different channels such as friends and colleagues, self-practice, workshops, conferences and seminars, and through on the job training. Only a few indicated that they acquired their IL skills through library schools. Lack of training, irregular power supply, poor Internet connectivity, inadequate facilities (computers), and lack of time were identified as some of the challenges to acquire IL skills.

I just finished reading a truly thought-provoking book, "Survival of the Sickest – The Surprising Connections Between Disease and Longevity" by Dr. Sharon Moalem. Dr Moalem started his nonfiction thriller with the strange case of a healthy man who became not-so-healthy quite quickly but without an apparent cause. It was eventually discovered that this man was suffering from hemochromatosis, a disease which disrupts the body's ability to metabolize iron properly. In looking further into hemochromatosis, Dr. Moalem and others found that it is actually quite a common genetic trait for anyone of Western European descent – about one in three of whom carries the gene for hemochromatosis. Why should such a strange and dangerous affliction be so common in the genetic code for those people? The theory presented was that it was because at some point in the past, it was a very good thing to have that affliction.
I'm no genetic biologist but I find this fascinating so I'd like to share some of what I learned. We have diseases today which, under different living and environment conditions in the past, would actually have allowed people to survive those conditions longer than those without those "diseases". So what we consider a disease today was actually a genetic adaptation (or mutation) – something that the body (or group of bodies) did, whether by accident or intentionally (that's where it gets really interesting).
Dr. Moalem poses some very interesting riddles – "[W]hy would you take a drug that is guaranteed to kill you in forty years? It's the only thing that will stop you from dying tomorrow. Why would we select for a gene that will kill us through iron-loading [hemochromatosis] by the time we reach what is now middle age? Because it will protect us from a disease that is killing everyone else long before that."
Diseases that are very bad today, like diabetes and malaria and sickle cell anemia, may actually have helped people in the past to live longer than those "unafflicted" by those diseases or conditions. Granted, they may not have lived long by our current standards but they may have lived longer than others in those times. And that is one of the things that matters to living creatures – more time alive means more time to procreate and that means passing on genes for those traits (or diseases) that allowed them to live longer.
The human genome is a very large and complex structure that is still not fully understood. There are now thought to be 20,000-25,000 genes in the human genome, the collection of genes in your cells that create the proteins and make you "you". But only 3% of your total DNA contains instructions for building stuff in your body — the rest, a full 97%, was considered to be completely inactive. Many scientists, in fact, considered most of our genetic material to be "junk". Retroviruses have the ability to insert genetic material into our DNA and it appears that through our many years on the planet they have done just that; we've collected a lot of junk through our evolution that does nothing for us – it is just along for the ride. Well now it appears that that "junk" might have a purpose and not be junk at all. For example, there are things called "jumping genes", or transposons, which can actually cut or copy a piece of themselves and paste that piece into an "active" gene, one that actually is doing something, thus altering its behavior or processing. So instead of waiting for random mutation for change, our bodies appear to be able to intentionally change our genetic structure. And it seems that the trigger for a "jump" to happen might be some change in environmental conditions or some kind of stress. Whoa.
There is also field of genetics called epigenetics which covers changes to the expression of genes without changing the underlying DNA structure. One method of doing that is DNA methylation which allows the body to suppress (or enhance) the functioning of a particular gene. When I read about that, what popped into my mind was recently hearing a somewhat overweight person blaming their "fat gene". I thought that a humorous retort to that next time would be "you just haven't figured out how to methylate that gene yet" but then I saw that it isn't so humorous – it was just addressed in a New York Times blog by Gretchen Reynolds called "How Exercise Changes Fat and Muscle Cells"
What has prompted me to wax so poetic, er, genetic? And what's the link to Hadoop? Well an obvious connection is that you can't find all these relationships, dependencies, and causations between genes and diseases and living conditions, as Dr. Moalem and the scientists he cites have done, unless you have lots of data to analyze and good ways to analyze it. Hadoop provides that ability.
But a bit more subtle than that — consider the junk genes we mentioned before. Think of all that genetic material as data. Companies have in the past not been able to deal with the large volume of "junk" data, so they would throw it away. Now with the Big Data movement, companies are holding onto all their data, even if today it is still considered to be junk, because maybe one day it won't be. One small bit of data might have very little or no value alone today, but if it gets combined with some other little bit of data tomorrow, it might lead to some extremely valuable business insight. Or business conditions might change and that bit of data may become quite valuable, and thus, no longer be "junk".
Also, consider the enterprise data warehouse. The business environment is changing and the EDW needs to change, to "mutate", in order to survive. A business can no longer deal with just structured data, it has to be able to handle unstructured data (which is growing in volume much more quickly than structured data). Hadoop does that quite nicely. So what we are seeing is that even if the EDW remains focused on structured data, enterprises are augmenting their data warehouses with Hadoop to allow them to analyze all their data, regardless of structure.
Today we are announcing general availability for our new Hadoop appliance, the IBM PureData System for Hadoop. One of the key value propositions for our new Pure Systems appliance is that it lets enterprise customers get up and running on Hadoop, specifically IBM's distribution of Hadoop, InfoSphere BigInsights, very quickly – much more quickly than if they tried to spin their own Hadoop cluster. We have also added a feature in the appliance to make it easy to move data from your Netezza data warehouse into Hadoop to allow you to keep the data online longer so that you might be able to find value in your junk.
DNA and Hadoop – a bizarre metaphor? Perhaps, but it gave me a chance to promote a cool book and to spend some quality time pondering our existence on this planet, how we have evolved based on changing conditions, and how big data might used to enable businesses to do the same. And I got to announce our new PureData System for Hadoop. For my next blog, maybe I'll explore salicylates in foods and discuss how vegetables might be good for us because they are actually bad for us.

Will not take my animals anywhere else
The staff at VCA Alderwood are very kind, willing to work with you, and are more than happy to tell you the difference between what NEEDS to be done, and what is an optional procedure. I have two dogs that both are clients at VCA Alderwood, and will have a kitten in November who will also be joining VCA as a client. Kari Emery (the primary vet my dogs currently sees) is amazing with animals and kids alike. I have to bring my two year old with me when I bring in my animals and the staff is more than accommodating, to make sure that my daughter is occupied and even allows her to help with the exams (usually just having her help "hold" the dogs for temp check). I will not be taking my pets anywhere else unless I leave the area. VCA Alderwood = AMAZING care for your pets!

A three-car wreck left multiple injured near the back gates of Camp Lejeune on N.C. 172 Thursday afternoon.
Chief Brian Romans, of Bear Creek Volunteer Fire Department, confirmed the wreck was reported about 5:30 p.m. � roughly two hours after an unrelated one-car wreck occurred nearby on N.C. 24. Romans said one person was taken by ambulance to the hospital and all three vehicles were in poor condition when he arrived.
�They barely look like automobiles,� Romans said.
Bear Creek, Hubert and Swansboro fire departments also responded; as did Swansboro Volunteer Rescue Squad, Onslow Emergency Medical Services and N.C. Highway Patrol.
Officials blocked off the wreck scene and traffic was rerouted from the site.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 283 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MB35 W Thank you NO W for a great business trip. Many are quick to complain and slow to credit, however not me. A couple of slips but most of all a great staff and a great stay. Thank you for a great visit to New Orleans and your culture. Mike April 21, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by bigdig712 Such a Hassle I stayed here with SPG rewards. They charged me for a night. Ok honest mistake, I called and got it fixed (took 2 - 3 phone calls). Fast forward 2 months later and they charged my credit card again. Good thing I check my statements once a week. Now I'm on the phone with them AGAIN trying to resolve this issue. The room here is extra small too. barely any room to put your luggage or even walk around. Only good thing is the proximity to french quarter. Will probably stay at a different location next time. March 31, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by KenO Noisy room and got charged for features I did not use. This was the worst stay I've had at any Starwood hotel. I was charged for calling whatever whenever and for NOT using the mini bar. When I called the hotel to correct the issue I was given a number to call and have still not heard back in two months. March 28, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by booker37 extra small room This hotel have extra small rooms,the restroom housekeeping needs improvement,air vents in and restroom need cleaning also parking fee is ridiculous at this hotel. March 15, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by VeryDisgruntled This only applies to anyone who might be traveling using a tax exempt form The hotel itself and the front desk staff were awesome. If you are just traveling for leisure then this is a great hotel. That being said...my 2 stars comes from the billing process. I was traveling for work and had submitted a tax exempt form. When I received my final bill, the taxes were not taken off. I was informed by the very nice front desk staff that someone would update the bill and send me a new reciept, but the updated bill was exactly the same as the original. I tried to email the person listed as someone to contact only to received a "Delivery has Failed" message indicating the email address does not exist. I have reached out to the hotel seveal times now and my issue is still not resolved. The out of message I received from their accounting department indicated the person would be out of office until January 19th, it is now March 1st. March 1, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by tsecord1967 Very Accommodating! Upon arrival, at 9:00 am, we were told that there was no record of our reservation. This was very concerning due to the fact that it was Fat Tuesday, all their rooms were booked, and we knew we would not be able to find a room anywhere else. Staci said she would see what she could do, held our luggage, and told us to go enjoy ourselves. By 11:00 am, we received a call that our room was ready! Staci and all of the staff, were very accommodating throughout our entire four night stay! We had a great time in New Orleans, and would highly recommend the W to all others planning a trip to the French Quarter. February 24, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by j23kicks Perfect Everything! As an SPG Gold, I travel a lot, but when hotels are this amazing, I have to take the extra time to review them. Location: I planned a birthday trip to NOLA for this past weekend, and wanted something close to Bourbon Street, but not right on it. Glad I did that. It is in great proximity of Bourbon Street, and about a 5-10 minute walk from Jackson Square. Lots of great little shops and very quiet at night. Arrival: We arrived to the hotel at 1am, tired and upset, after multiple flight delays. As soon as we were greeted by Greg, I knew we had made the right decision. He was one of the most welcoming agents I have ever met, and really made sure to honor my birthday and SPG status. He told us about all of the great little things to do in town, and was a great host. I think Greg is one of the most valuable assets this hotel has, and I would return just because of him. Room/Hotel: We were in room 227 and our room was a good size with a king bed, but what made it special was the patio it had with a table and chairs. The patio is shared, but it was a great option to be able to sit outside and enjoy the sun and some champagne. The only negative about the room is that it's located right next to the gym, so you can hear everything going on in the gym. Also, the gym door makes a really loud buckling noise because the automatic lock doesn't really work, so that woke us up a couple times. Other than that, the room was great. The hotel also has a nice courtyard and pool. We lounged around for a bit, and since the hotel only has 94 rooms, we were able to relax without it being too crowded. Dining: I had my birthday dinner at SoBou, the restaurant connected to the hotel, and I would highly recommend it. The menu has great options, and they were very accommodating to my fiance who is vegetarian. They don't have it on their menu, but they can make vegetarian tacos, and it was by far the best vegetarian dish I have ever tried. My fiance loved them so much that she got a second order. Props to the kitchen on that! Overall: Perfect location, perfect hotel, perfect restaurant, and the most perfect staff! I will stay at the W on any future visits to NOLA. Thank you! February 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by LoopholeTravel Fantastic Boutique Hotel Perfectly Located in the French Quarter No need to continue your search! This hotel is just the perfect hotel for your French Quarter stay. It's within walking distance of every major attraction yet a couple blocks away from all the commotion so you can get a great night's sleep. The courtyard area is fantastic, although it was a bit chilly for our New Year's Eve stay. The design of the hotel exceeds the typical W brand feel, yet remains true to the core. The W brand is the best hotel when you want something classy and energetic! The staff really all went above and beyond our expectations, especially the valet outside who ran over two city blocks to the main drag to get us a cab. That's the kind of staff they have here and because they have less than 100 rooms - they aren't crowded or too busy. Because of the minimal rooms, we never even passed anyone in the hallways! The bottom level rooms are a bit small, so if you want some extra space - upgrade to the Fabulous room! SoBou, the restaurant adjacent to the hotel is a must have experience! The food is amazing and they have some really creative dishes there. Prices are very reasonable, typical prices for the area. And they have an amazing happy hour so check that out! The bar does fill up though, it's a popular spot, so get there early. Overall, we loved the hotel. Would certainly stay there again on our next NOLA trip and highly recommend you give a shot as well. ESPECIALLY if you have never stayed at a W property! January 11, 2016

5. "The Wolf Of Wall Street" by Terence Winter (2013)
Black List Appearance: This made the list all the way back in 2007, with six votes. That might seem low, but it must have been some comfort that it tied with Simon Beaufoy's script for "Slumdog Millionaire," which won an Oscar a year later.
With one of the longer gestation periods on this list—Warner Bros. picked up the movie initially before dropping it, and Ridley Scott and Michael Mann were both linked before Martin Scorsese, who'd originally been attached, returned—it's impressive that "The Wolf Of Wall Street" got made at all. But the film was a real passion project for star/producer Leonardo DiCaprio, and it finally made it to theaters on Christmas Day last year, to rave reviews, much moral hand-wringing, huge box-office and a brace of Oscar nominations. A much more raucous take on the financial world than the sober, realistic "Margin Call," the script (from "Boardwalk Empire" showrunner/writer Winter) followed real-life scumbag Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio), who goes from flogging penny stocks to enormous wealth and success to prison, putting half of Colombia up his nose in the process. The film's POV proved confusing to less imaginative critics (perhaps because it was a more wildly comic film than anything Scorsese had made since "After Hours"), but to most, the satirical tone of events is obvious, with Winter and the director luring you into the material appeal of Belfort's lifestyle while reminding you, fairly continuously, of what a terrible human being he is. Though he's past 70, Scorsese directs with the flair of someone a third of his age, and though the ensemble is a miracle of casting, DiCaprio carries the whole thing on his shoulders, delivering by a huge distance his greatest performance.
4. "Never Let Me Go" by Alex Garland (2010)
Black List Appearance: This appeared on the 2007 Black List (the first to get substantial attention in the industry), with seven votes, the same number as post-apocalyptic blockbuster "The Book Of Eli."
Confession: even I didn't like "Never Let Me Go" at first. Mark Romanek's adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's best-seller isn't a film that you immediately warm to—the music video veteran simply isn't that kind of filmmaker. But it's one that implanted itself in my brain, and the brains of many who saw it, and its deep melancholy has lingered long past other films released around the same time. Penned by "Sunshine"/"28 Days Later"/"Dredd" writer Alex Garland from the acclaimed novel by "The Remains Of The Day" author, it's about Kathy, Ruth and Tommy (played in their younger years by Isobel Meikle-Small, Ella Purnell and Charlie Rowe, who appear to be themselves eerily talented clones of their older counterparts), children at a strange school in the English countryside. As they grew older (and turn into Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield), they realize that they're clones, created so they can donate organs for transplants. It's a film of desperate, wrenching sadness, thanks in part to the three perfectly naive performances by Mulligan, Knightley and Garfield, and Romanek's chilly style gives it a very English repression that's true to the source material while being capable of bursting open a torrent of emotion. Garland's a very good writer who can't always stick the landing (see: "28 Days Later," "Sunshine"), but he really excelled himself with this script, and Romanek absolutely nailed the execution.
3. "Looper" by Rian Johnson (2012)
Black List Appearance: 2010, with ten votes, one behind the script for "The Butler," and tied with "One Day" and a will-never-get-made biopic of Rupert Murdoch by "Veep" writer Jesse Armstrong.
Writer/director Rian Johnson has the kind of immediately distinctive screenwriting voice that the Black List has appreciated—his second film, the underrated "Brothers Bloom," cropped up on the second Black List in 2006. "Looper" was more ambitious and bigger-budget than either that or his breakthrough "Brick," but thankfully just as well written and executed, proving to be a bit of a sleeper mainstream hit back in the fall of 2012. A fiendishly complex (but simply-described) setup involved, in the shortest possible description, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's drug-addled low-level mob hitman trying to track down his future self (Bruce Willis), who'd been sent back in time to be murdered. It's an immediately strong concept, and Johnson places it in a distinctive future world that, for once, isn't completely indebted to "Blade Runner" or something similar, and there are sci-fi action thrills to be had, but more fascinating is the way that the film changes gears entirely in its second half, becoming a closed-location thriller involving Emily Blunt's tough single-mother and her psychic son (Pierce Gagnon). Deftly hopping between genres, mixing genre with character drama, and building a truly compelling world, Johnson takes myriad influences and comes out the other end with something truly new. It's four years since his last script started doing the rounds: we're more than overdue for a new one by now.
2. "The Social Network" by Aaron Sorkin (2010)
Black List Appearance: 2009, with a whopping 42 mentions, second only that year to the currently-in-development "Muppet Man" biopic of Jim Henson, and just ahead of oddball then-future Ryan Reynolds vehicle "The Voices."
So we're kind of ambivalent about the Black List overall, but occasionally it gets things absolutely right, as it did with this Aaron Sorkin entry. The idea behind "The Social Network" may have been topical, but it still wasn't the sexiest of topics (snore, Facebook, snore, startup geeks, snore, legal proceedings) and yet couched in Sorkin's snappy dialogue and with his uncanny power for getting to the human heart of potentially alienating stories, the script is nearly as entertaining on paper as the finished film is. Sorkin himself had been Black Listed before, with "Charlie Wilson's War" getting 13 mentions in 2005 before being made into the 2007 Tom Hanks movie, and of course had serious prestige built up as an in-demand TV writer (and one more than usually adept at political intrigue and workplace drama) but parts of "The West Wing" aside, this script may have been his finest hour to that point. Of course, Sorkin shares some of the credit with the writer of the book, Ben Mezrich, but does claim that while he did attach himself based on Mezrich's proposal, the actual book was being written at the same time as the script and so much of the screenplay was shaped in isolation from it. Whatever the case, the only potential issue with the script was its talkiness, necessitating a director who'd have a feel for its intelligence but also be able to make it look more cinematic. Thankfully, a certain David Fincher was free.
1. "The Wrestler" by Robert Siegel (2008)
Black List Appearance: 5 mentions on the 2007 list, tied with Diablo Cody's "Jennifer's Body," Christopher McQuarrie's "Valkyrie," future comedy hit "Zombieland" and an early draft of "World War Z" by J. Michael Straczynski.
A tough pick for the top slot, but as all-encompassing as the love for "The Social Network" is, we went for more of an underdog: a smaller, character-based drama that was relatively lowly ranked on the Black List the year it featured. The first major screenplay credit from Robert Siegel, the former editor-in-chief of satirical favorite The Onion (whose only previous credit was from the disastrous and long-delayed "Onion Movie," shot in 2003 and finally buried on DVD in 2008), it's, on paper, a fairly standard sports movie, about former pro-wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke), now reduced to working at a supermarket deli counter, before being drawn back to the sport for a big rematch against his former nemesis, The Ayatollah, despite the wishes of his stripper friend (Marisa Tomei), and estranged daughter (Evan Rachel Wood). It's pretty much the stuff of a "Rocky" sequel, but it's all about the execution. Siegel's script (and a career-defining performance from Rourke) really get under the skin of Randy, making an archetype into something distinctive, and beautifully sad. The other performers match Rourke's commitment, and the whole thing is beautifully directed in an atypically low-key, Dardennes-aping style by Darren Aronofsky, the film one of his finest to date. Maybe it's just our thing for dumb pig-headed heroism in the face of certain doom, but we can't think of many recent film moments more moving than Randy climbing the ropes for the last time.
