HELP and Torrevieja Hospital
It's good news for many of the patients at the new hospital in Torrevieja. After a series of negotiations, permission has been officially granted for a team of volunteers from the HELP Association of Vega Baja (previously the Help Ass of Torrevieja) to visit English speaking patients in the hospital three times a week.
The HELP Hospital visiting teams, led by Eddie Tiller, have been visiting the Vega Baja Hospital in Orihuela for many years but there were teething problems when it came to getting started in the new hospital. Fortunately, these have been resolved and following a series of meetings first with D. Luis Barcia Albacar, the Director General of the hospital, and then with Raul Vila Roig, Head of Logistics, Marie Carmen Herrera Caballero, Social Services Co-ordinator, and Maite Martinez, Admissions officer, The Help Association has at last received the important go ahead.
The benefits offered by the visits to those who find themselves in hospital (sometimes unexpectedly as in the case of accidents or sudden illness) are considerable. Apart from the boost that a friendly smile and chat can give to someone who is bored with having to lie in bed all day, plus the talking books and reading material that is loaned free of charge, the volunteers endeavour to resolve any non medical problems that have arisen due to the stay in hospital. This may involve contacting relatives, including those who live overseas, caring for pets or dealing with the payment of bills or the such like, or even giving men patients a shave. The visits can represent a life line to those who are completely alone in the world. Indeed, there are many ways in which HELP helps the public.
In one case, when a family of four, including two children were involved in a horrendous traffic accident, HELP found accommodation for the grandmother who travelled from the UK, and arranged transport for her to visit the hospital each day.
In another case, HELP renewed the lease on the apartment of a patient. In yet another case HELP tracked down a handbag bulging with money and returned it to the rightful owner who had been on the way to visit the Notary in order to complete on a house purchase when she collapsed and was whisked off to hospital in an ambulance minus her handbag.
Another important function of the HELP team is to help with problems that arise once the patient is discharged from hospital. Sometimes there is no one at home to look after them or they have a partner who is in poor health themselves. Besides arranging for a nurse to pay a visit if appropriate, Help volunteers will befriend and assist them. This may vary from doing shopping or cooking a meal to organising a telephone extension, so that there is a phone by the side of the bed.
At times a Doctor will draw the attention of the HELP team to a patient who is in dire circumstances as was the case of a Norwegian lady who did not appear to have any friends or family. After a visit from a Help Volunteer, who contacted members of the Norwegian Church, the story had a very happy ending. In another case, a volunteer was alerted to the fact that a patient, who was ready to be sent home, had lost the keys of his house. HELP came to the rescue and had the locks changed. To the relief of the gentleman concerned, he was presented with a brand new key as he arrived at his front door.
If you are a friendly soul and would like to become involved in Hospital Visiting at either Vega Baja or Torrevieja Hospital, please contact Richard Garland on 966 72 3733 from 10.00am to 2.00pm Monday to Friday. Men, in particular would be welcome.

Speaking of gifts
Deb gave me a Jelly Roll for my birthday in June and I'm finally cutting into it. I'm making a very simple block – boxed squares is what I call it. There are versions of it in just about every 4th or 5th book I pick up but it's so simple I just worked up a quick EQ quilt.
I pair up two strips from the Jelly Roll and leaving them folded in half so I'm cutting through 4 layers, I cut – (2) 6.5 inch rectangles, (3) 2.5 inch squares. This gives me enough for 4 blocks two of each combination.
I think Jeanne made a pink/black/white version of this sometime last year (I looked for it to link to but it must have been on her old blog) . Her blocks were 9 inches finished if I remember correctly. These are 6 inches (6.5 with seam allowances).
Today's task
Done for better or worse!
The snowflakes don't look so great in this photo but they look fine in person. I had sewn a button on the door but took it off and decided what the door needs is a candy cane. Hopefully I can find one that will work – a button – a pin – even small earring might work. As always, you can click on the photo for a larger view.
I received a wonderful gift box in the today from Deb (everyone knows we're sisters right?). A journal to keep my quilt ideas and coffee cozies both needle felted by her AND a new Jelly Thimble. She gave me one of those last year and I use it all the time for binding. How did she know I wanted another one?
Quilting:A Love/Hate Relationship
Am I the only one that has a love/hate relationship with my quilting? Usually at some point in a project I have some level of disappointment or dissatisfaction with the results I'm getting.
I was really worried about 1/2 way through piecing the Ice Cream quilt that my fabric placement wasn't going to work….but that top turned out nice and is on the longarm ready for quilting.
I LOVED my Holiday House top…..but as I was quilting it I started to think I'd ruined it. Last night I began quilting snowflakes (after all what's Christmas without snow?) and now I actually think it's going to be cute. One of these days I'll learn to *keep the faith* and believe that in the end the final quilt will be OK.
So am I all that unusual or do you all go through the same love it/hate it process when making a quilt?
Family Reunion
We're planning a family reunion in Virginia for December 8th. Most of our immediate family will be there (Chris and Becky can't make it) and some extended family too. Adam and I fly in on December 5th and will spend a couple days helping get things ready. Deb gets there that day too.
While we're both in VA we're going to meet Vicki for lunch. I won a drawing on her site a couple weeks back and she's bringing me a hand dyed backing for one of my donation quilts. I'm looking forward to meeting her.
I've been busy helping with the reunion plans the last couple weeks and I've been thinking about family so that's my journal postcard this week. This is the house I grew up in and where Mom still lives.
No sewing again today (at least not yet). I did play around on EQ6 with some house blocks but most of the day was spent playing with photographs.
I bought some frames and albums for the photos I took in Georgia last week. I made one for us and each of the boys….I'm not taking scrap-booking here, just had the photos printed and put them in a simple album.
I also picked up a book on Photoshop Elements at Barnes and Nobles. I've been playing with some of the lessons. I love this photo of Adam I took last week. The lesson was creating a poster.
Spending money
Keith and I don't keep separate bank accounts and never have BUT we've always bargained for spending money. For example, if I wanted a new computer, he got to buy a new suit for work (I know hardly fair but that's how it works).
He's out of town but emailed me that he got a speeding ticket in Denver the other day…..I wrote him back that means a massage for me! So this afternoon, I had a wonderful massage and then got my hair cut.
I know you're all thinking that I'm spoiled rotten and while it wasn't always true, I have to admit I'm pretty spoiled these days. Why do you think I work so hard on my donations quilts? I have to give back/give thanks in some way!
For those of you wondering about the photo in my post last night, I've been playing around with Photoshop Elements and that's one of the framing options.
Ice Cream anyone?
Doesn't it remind you of Neapolitan Ice Cream? Next time I do one of these quilts, I need to do them as JudyL intended and Quilt for an Hour a day. (Here's the link to Judy's design)
I started this quilt on July 25th according to the blog (well, at least I drew it in EQ6 on that day). I chose to finish it with one framing border as it was larger than intended and I was limited by the amount of border fabric I had. The plan is to get it quilted before I leave for VA on Dec 5th.
Working late again
Working late again tonight paid off! I'm finished the July QFAH top AND I pieced the flannel back too so it's all ready to load on the longarm in the next day or so. It's quite large – 79×99 and that's even after I decided to eliminate the two small inner borders and just add one framing border. I don't have a photo because there's not good place to take a picture of a quilt this large at night so that will have to wait.
As I was finishing up, I looked outside and saw it was snowing…..I wonder what it will look like in the morning? It would be neat if there was some real accumulation.

In an era when the Penn football program consistently took on national football powerhouses such as Notre Dame, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Georgia, Navy, Army and Penn State, Jack Shanafelt was a standout tackle for the Quakers. He played both sides of the ball -- one of the last 'sixty-minute men' -- and was the last Penn Football player to earn Division I first-team All-America honors. Shanafelt was a three-year letterwinner and started all three years of his varsity career for the Quakers (at the time, freshmen were not allowed to play varsity football). All the more impressive, he was an asset to the Red and Blue on both offense and defense. In his second season as a starter, Shanafelt began to garner national recognition. He had key fumble recoveries in a win at Columbia and a tie with Navy. In the 1952 season finale, he added 11 tackles in the Thanksgiving Day win over Cornell. Shanafelt finished the year with 51 tackles, which led all Penn linemen. The breakout season earned him All-East honors as a junior. He duplicated the accolade in his final season wearing the Red and Blue. In the final year of head coach George Munger's Hall of Fame career, No. 72 was arguably the team's most prominent player. Following his senior season, Shanafelt was selected first-team All-America by several publications including the Associated Press, Football Writers Association and Look Magazine -- premier honors in the 1950s, as at the time only 11 players in the entire country were picked. Shanafelt is known as Penn's last Division I All-America selection, as he was the final Quaker player to receive the honor prior to the program's move to the Football Championship Subdivision (Division I-AA) upon its creation in 1978. Following his collegiate career in the Red and Blue, Shanafelt was selected in the 1954 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions. In addition, he was a member of the Army All-Star football team in Japan and later elected to the Ohio Sports Hall of Fame.
"In 1953, the year Jack was chosen to be on all the All-American football teams, we were fraternity brothers at SAE and roommates. We were also good friends! I am sorry that his family could not be here. They will receive a full report on this wonderful evening, as will Ken Thorn and Ted Moock who have kept Jack's name very much alive before the selection committee.
"I saw George Bosseler, a teammate, at a Homecoming game a few years ago and asked if he or the Mungermen had heard from Jack. He said they had not, but added that Jack was a real rock at right tackle. Jack also was a real rock as a friend! During the fall of 1953, we both had an 8:00 class and would walk down Spruce Street together. During the football season, Jack would give every sycamore tree a forearm so hard that it is a wonder any of them lived through the blow.
"Two more memories of Jack that fall. One: When we played the University of Georgia, a Georgia gal, who was the current Miss America, was introduced at halftime. A tradition, and I hope it still is, was a reception for the teams after the game. At about 7.30, a big party was going on at SAE house. Jack walked in with Miss America on his arm. (Her handler was not far behind.) Two: Ed Sullivan of the Sunday TV show always had the current All-America team on the show. At the SAE house, we were watching and having a few beers when Jack was called to the microphone by Sullivan -- great for his fraternity brothers to watch. When he got back on Monday, we asked him why he was the only player interviewed. 'I was the only one who could speak in complete sentences,' was Jack's answer.
"Jack, you are a dear friend to so many. Your University honors you as a hero. We honor you with love and affection. God Bless you!"

A rap video with midgets and people with green hair? No, it's not a "Jackass"-inspired clip, but "Purple Stuff," the first nationally-distributed video from Big Moe.
The concept for the Houston rapper/singer's clip was inspired by "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," the classic 1971 film that starred Gene Wilder. The wacky visuals add a distinctive look to the project and separate it from the bevy of rap videos set on beaches or featuring hosts of nearly naked women.
"We tried to put it in the chocolate factory, and that's where the idea came from," said Big Moe, whose sound is smooth, relaxed and relies on laid-back, R&B-inspired grooves. "We wanted the video to make people think of that. We definitely wanted to do something different, unusual than what you'd normally see."
"Purple Stuff" is the lead single from Big Moe's second album, Purple World, which is scheduled for release on Tuesday. The follow-up to 1999's City of Syrup, it also makes reference to the South's affinity for "syrup," the codeine-containing concoction that many Southern residents use as a recreational drug. (In 2000, Three 6 Mafia touted it on "Sippin' on Some Syrup.")
Although Moe acknowledges the potential danger in taking "syrup," he doesn't see any harm in rapping and singing about it. "It's life, my life," he said. "I'm not trying to persuade somebody to do it. It's just going on. There's songs about chronic because that's what's out there."
On the second "Purple World" single, "Confidential Playa," Big Moe takes a more traditional route. Moe sing-raps about haters, some of them spreading rumors that he'd had a heart attack in order to impede his success. Colleague Ronnie Spencer adds some dreamy crooning to the cut that would make Ronald Isley proud.
Elsewhere, UGK's Pimp C adds some edge to the horn-propelled "Cash," while on both "We Won't Stop" and "Why Why," Big Moe offers words of encouragement to fans who may be suffering through hard times.
"You've got to let the kids know to stay up and to stay focused, and they will," he said. "Everybody likes to talk down or say something about somebody else. I don't like that."
Big Moe knows about getting a helping hand. His major break came via H-Town production/mixtape legend DJ Screw. The influential rap entrepreneur, who died November 2000 (see "Codeine Overdose Killed DJ Screw, Medical Examiner Says" ), showcased Big Moe on a number of his albums in the mid-to-late 1990s, setting the stage for Big Moe's ascent to regional stardom.
Moe, who sings more often than he raps, found encouragement from Screw, who also taught him about how to succeed in the music industry. "He's the reason for my success right now," Moe said of Screw. "I used to go hang out with him. I was a rapper, but I was a singing rapper. I'm rhyming like a rapper, but I was singing. He taught me a lot."
Moe's work with DJ Screw helped Moe secure appearances on albums from the Wreckshop Family, DJ Jelly and Greg Street, among others. Now, with the impending release of Purple World, Big Moe has been increasing his workload with performances and other promotional duties throughout the South, Midwest and West.
"I've been putting in a little more work," he said. "I've got to get down."

Last Anchovies on Earth!
In future, the world will be a very different place. Aside from mechanized bending robots and a purple-haired Cyclops, anchovies will be extinct. And while some will offer millions for the last remaining can on earth. One humanoid from the past will put them on pizza:
Actually, anchovies—not the ones in the can—are a very low-contamination fish. I was surprised to see that. Now, no one is saying to put them on pizza, but the Environmental Defense Fund calls anchovies an Eco-Best. Go figure!

College Hockey:Buckeyes Best Wildcats
Lose Maiani For Season With Torn ACL
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Sometimes, when you need to get something done, you have to put your back into it. Sometimes, when you need to score a game-winning goal, you need to put someone else's back into it.
At 7:18 in the third, Buckeye senior Mathieu Beaudoin banked the puck into the Wildcat net off the backside of Northern Michigan goaltender Bill Zaniboni to give Ohio State a 3-2 lead that held until the end.
"I saw he was out of the net," said Beaudoin, "and I just [thought] if it didn't hit him, it was going to go to one of our guys in front. It hit his back and rolled in pretty slow, but it went in."
The goal was the second OSU power-play tally of the night, and that, said NMU head coach Walt Kyle, was the key ingredient to the Buckeye win — and the Wildcat loss.
"If it's 2-2 going into the third, you've got to find a way to win that," said Kyle. "We had a couple of power-play opportunities, they scored on their power play. That was the difference in the game tonight."
The Buckeyes took a one-goal lead out of the first period on Dominic Maiani's power-play one-timer from the top of the left circle at 12:21, and that's the last goal that Maiani, a junior, will score this season. He went down funny on a hit in the third and tore his right anterior cruciate ligament.
The loss is a big one for the Buckeyes; Maiani centered the top line with Tom Fritsche and Tommy Goebel, was the fourth-leading scorer for OSU entering tonight's contest, and is a key face-off man. " It's not like a bruise or the possibility to come back," said Buckeye head coach John Markell. "It's discouraging."
The game was tied at 2-2 at the end of two on Wildcat goals by Andrew Sarauer and Matt Siddall and Bryce Anderson's marker for the Buckeyes. At 4:55 with traffic around the OSU net, Nick Sirota took the puck from right to left behind the Buckeye cage and shot, hitting netminder Joseph Palmer in the chest, but Sarauer picked up the rebound in front of the crease and popped it upstairs to tie the game, 1-1.
At 9:06, Rob Lehtinen fed Siddall, who broke in on the left wing, paused, and ripped one high over Palmer's glove for the only Wildcat lead of the night.
NMU goaltender Bill Zaniboni kept that lead until near the end of the period almost single-handedly, as the Buckeyes outshot the Wildcats 20-6 in the middle stanza.
His most spectacular save of the game came at 14:22, when he stoned Beaudoin from point-blank range, after Anderson scooted the puck around Zach Tarkir while falling down.
Anderson, however, got the better of Zaniboni at 18:54 when he wrapped the puck around the NMU net and tucked it in between the senior goaltender's legs to tie the score again. Last week, Markell benched Anderson in the first period of OSU's 6-2 loss to Ferris State to send the left winger a message.
"There was just a little added urgency," said Anderson. "Obviously, coming down the pipe here in my last year. I think, as a team, we refocused a lot in practice. I was fortunate enough to be in the right situation at the right time to score a goal for us."
Said Markell, "I thought Bryce Anderson had a good game, bringing things to the net."
Beaudoin's power-play goal, his second with the man advantage this season, capped the game.
"I thought that both of their last two goals were bad," said Kyle. "Both were from behind the net. We have to have those. We came back out in the third…and it looked like a fairly even period. They scored on a power play in the third, really, from behind the net.
"This year we've found ways to lose game not intentional . . . it's such a close league right now and we don't score enough to give ourselves much margin of error and I think we're probably very similar to a lot of teams."
The Buckeyes finished the night 2-for-9 on the power play while holding the Wildcats 0-for-5. Palmer made 18 saves on 20 shots for his 11th win of the season. Zaniboni stopped 35 of 38.
The teams meet again Saturday night at 8:05 p.m. in the Schott. It will be the fourth and final game of their regular-season series, which Ohio State leads 2-1.

Samsung SGH-i320 smartphone approved by FCC
Akihabara News has a report about Samsung's alternative to Motorola Q smartphone – Samsung SGH-i320. It's only 11.5 mm thick, has 2.2″ LCD display and 1.3 megapixel camera. It sure looks good and should be a serious competitor to Motorola Q:
And there's some good news for the U.S. users. It looks like Samsung SGH-i320 has just been approved by FCC. No pictures or users manuals available yet, but from this drawing this phone looks just Samsung SGH-i320:

Last.fm in a Box
By Jennifer Winger on Jun 05, 2008
Yesterday, Last.fm announced a major expansion to its "offsite community" strategy by partnering with a range of social networks and other online destinations to distribute the site's ad-supported streaming radio service.
Dubbed "Last.fm in a Box", the service will be made available to "multiple online platforms", including Bebo, Billboard.com, Break Media, CBS Television Stations, CBS Affiliates, eMusic, Frengo, Gigya, iGoogle, Live Nation, Meebo, MP3.com, Netvibes, Ning, Pageflakes, Photobucket, Piczo, Six Apart, Stardoll, WAYN.com and WordPress.com, according to the press release. Although none of the partner efforts are yet to go live — since the ink has only just dried — I read that each 'Last.fm in a Box' offering will be customized and integrated into partner sites "in a bespoke manner". In other words, 'Last.fm in a Box' is both a strategy and a platform (backed up by a bunch of APIs), rather than simply a one size fits all widget.

After receiving media adulation the past few months as the best job growth since the 1990's, the Obama Boom returns to form. Job growth for March fell to 120,000 created. This is below the 150,000 needed to keep up with population growth. The unemployment rate dropped to 8.2%. This fall was due to workers leaving the labor force and not job growth. This report was below the 200,000 estimate the media was expecting.
U.S. payrolls rose far less than expected in March, keeping the door open for further monetary policy support from the Federal Reserve, even as the unemployment rate fell to a three-year low of 8.2 percent.
Employers added 120,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department said on Friday, the smallest increase since October.
The weak employment growth last month likely reflected the fading boost from unseasonably warm winter weather. The payrolls count for January and February was revised to show just 4,000 more jobs created than previously reported.
The drop in the unemployment rate, to the lowest level since January 2009, reflected a drop in the labor force. The separate household survey, from which the jobless rate is derieved also showed a drop in employment.
This was a bad jobs report no matter how its spin. The Pharaoh in Chief with the assistance of his high priests (media) will claim times are good and these are good numbers. Hopefully Americans will not believe the lies. But seeing the hold the Pharaoh has in people, I will not count on it. The Obama Boom is a myth that refuses to die.
Update: Dorian Grey linked to a great article showing why the 8.2% rate is a bogus number. The real number should be 9.4% is people were not vdropped from the rolls.
Recall that back in 2009, White House economists Jared Bernstein and Christina Romer used their old-fashioned Keynesian model to predict how the $800 billion stimulus would affect employment. According to their model—as displayed in the above chart, updated—unemployment should be around 5.8% today.
But the true measure of U.S. unemployment is far worse:
1. If the size of the U.S. labor force as a share of the total population was the same as it was when Barack Obama took office—65.7% then vs. 63.8% today down from last month—the U-3 unemployment rate would be 10.9%.
2. But what if you take into the account the aging of the Baby Boomers, which means the labor force participation (LFP) rate should be trending lower. Indeed, it has been doing just that since 2000. Before the Great Recession, the Congressional Budget Office predicted what the LFP would be in 2012, assuming such demographic changes. Using that number, the real unemployment rate would be 10.5%.
3. Of course, the LFP rate usually falls during recessions. Yet even if you discount for that and the aging issue, the real unemployment rate would be 9.4%.
4. Then there's the broader, U-6 measure of unemployment which includes the discouraged plus part-timers who wish they had full time work. That unemployment rate, perhaps the truest measure of the labor market's health, is still a sky-high 14.5%.
5. The employment-population ratio dipped to 58.5% vs. 61% in December 2008. An historically low level of the U.S. population is actually working.
The media can spin all they want, but the unemployment situation sucks.

Perfect Party Houses
The truth is the perfect party house is your perfect party house
In some circles, the perfect party house would have rubber floors and walls, unbreakable windows, and suspended foot harnesses in the kitchen for keg stands. But, for the purposes of the larger, remodeling sector of society, let's tone it down a bit. The perfect party house will take full advantage of space and environment. It will function almost as a breezeway for guests to amble here and there. In other words, if for just one night, the perfect party house will feel like Cloud 9.
Open for Business
As you know, the business of partying is an American tradition, and nothing caters to that business like an open floor plan. As a party host, the last thing you want is several small cliques trapped in several small rooms. Passage from the kitchen (food & drink) to the great room (televised sports/conversation) to the patio/deck/backyard (fresh air) should be made easy. This will, of course, require a certain continuity of style and design throughout.
Be careful not to clutter the open space with too much furniture (although it's a good idea to have some chairs in reserve). Lots of clutter facilitates accidents which facilitate stained furniture and carpet. A good mix of standing room and seating is perfect. The perfect party house will also have high ceilings, probably vaulted or cathedral, to give a sense of size and plenty of air circulation.
Party Favors
Since we are talking about the perfect party house, there is no excluding the luxuries. Famous party-house additions include but are not limited to:
- Game On in the Game Room: billiards, ping-pong, card table, darts, even more televisions. Classic, standing arcade games are an excellent touch (Who wouldn't love a quick game of Asteroids?)
- A Patio for the Ages: A swimming pool would be essential in the perfect party house. Throw in an outdoor bar, a pontoon boat (for the lakeside party houses), or a putting green and you start making perfection drool. Finish it off with solar LED lighting for guidance and accent.
- A Landscape with Scope: Landscaping is vital to the perfect party house. Stone garden paths winding between tall bushes (think: royal English garden) and trees provide intimacy for guests (perhaps even a host!) who'd like a moment apart. Of course, we can't forget those guests with a sporting nature. Possibly working an open area, with a natural border, for the expenditure of energy would be a big plus.
The truth is the perfect party house is your perfect party house. These are just a few perfect party possibilities. If you're ready to get your party started, it all begins with a free estimate from your local remodeling contractor.

Dec. 13, 2013
Northern Illinois University quarterback Jordan Lynch is the first Heisman finalist in school history and NIUHuskies.com is your stop for wall-to-wall coverage of this historic event. Through the blog, Lynch in New York, you can read about Lynch's experiences in New York this weekend, as well as check out photo galleries and see video highlights. Also be sure to check out NIU Athletics various social media outlets for updates throughout the day.
December 14, 2013 | 10:46 p.m. (ET)
The moment Jordan Lynch waited for all his life finally came at 8 p.m. ET when he was on the stage at the Best Buy Theatre as one of the six finalists for the most coveted prize in college football, the Heisman Trophy. He stood on that stage proud, with the same confidence he has displayed his entire career. As they interviewed each finalist, Lynch got a response from the crowd when the Chicago native boasted that Chicago-style pizza was better than the New York slices he sampled this weekend.
As the show progressed, Lynch's story was told to the nation. His record-setting performances, fantastic runs and incredible passing abilities were on display for all to see. His biggest champion in the last month of the season, 1991 Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard, was effusive in his praise of the Huskie signal caller.
After all the hype, hoopla and suspense, the winner was announced. Lynch went to New York with the mindset he enters every game with, winning. Unfortunately, Lynch's name wasn't called. While he didn't get to take home the hardware, he couldn't be disappointed. Lynch took third place, the highest finish by a Mid-American Conference player and tied Colt Brennan for the highest finish by a non-AQ player in the BCS era. Not bad for a guy who told over and over again that he couldn't play quarterback at the Division I level.
December 14, 2013 | 4:46 p.m. (ET)
After missing the Heisman Welcome Reception due to a stomach bug, NIU Heisman finalist Jordan Lynch was back at it early this morning. Another stop at the ESPN DirecTV bus, then over to the Best Buy Theatre for a walk through for tonight's ceremony.
The theatre was set up with the portraits of past Heisman winners. NIU Associate Athletic Director for Communications Donna Turner pulled Lynch aside to take a photo in front of the portrait of Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward. Turner was here in New York 1993 when she was the media relations contact for Florida State and successfully promoted Ward to the trophy.
Following rehearsal, Lynch and all six Heisman finalists, Alabama's A.J. McCarron finally made it to New York, headed to CBS Sports' studios to tape some segments with the CBS Sports College Football crew. Prior to taping, Tim Brando recalled fondly, "Tim Brando Day" in DeKalb back in 1990.
Lynch, hoped back in the SUV and returned to the Marriott where he met up with his family for lunch and then to relax before the night's ceremony.
LYNCH'S DAY IN PICTURES December 14, 2013 | 1:09 a.m. (ET)
Time to put the words of Lynch's day to pictures. Check out the photo gallery below of Lynch's first day in New York.
Photo Gallery
MEDIA FLURRY December 13, 2013 | 6:03 p.m. (ET)
After an early morning, Lynch and his fellow Heisman finalists had a busy afternoon of media opportunities before getting a brief rest prior to some evening activities.
The Heisman folks treated the finalists and their families and university officials to some of New York's finest family-style Italian fare at Tony Napoli's Restaurant, located just a few blocks from the Marriott Marquis. The trek across a mass of people through Times Square was brief and Lynch blended in with any local. NIU's quarterback was plenty hungry as the plates of veal parmigiana, spaghetti and meatballs, sausage and peppers, cheese ravioli and more were passed around the table. His parents, Jim and Sheila, enjoyed the people-watching nearly as much as the food.
After a brief stop back at the hotel, Lynch and his fellow finalists were greeted by a full contingent of media during the press conference.
Lynch, Boston College's Andre Williams and Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M rotated between three tables surrounded by the national media and Huskie beat reporters Shannon Ryan of the Chicago Tribune and Steve Nitz of the Daily Chronicle as well as Rockford TV stations WTVO and WREX. Questions ranged from who he would vote for to win the Heisman, how he got to NIU and who helped him get to this point. The two questions Lynch received the most were, "Have you gotten to know the other finalists," and "How did you hear about being a Heisman finalist?"
His answer to the former question became shorter and shorter each time he was asked and he developed a standard answer for the later. "With all the different flight schedules, I haven't really had a chance to meet the other guys," Lynch said.
Following the media opportunity, the other two candidates in New York (Alabama QB A.J. McCarron has not arrived in N.Y. yet) stopped by for a group photo with the Heisman Trophy and individual posed shots with the most famous trophy in sports. When Lynch was done with his photos, he was handed a cell phone to do a series of radio interviews. As Lynch was whisked away to the ESPN DirecTV bus, still on the phone doing an interview, the other two finalists took their turns through the media tables, while his parents were having the time of their lives, posing with the Heisman Trophy.
Lynch, Manziel and Williams each spent time chatting with the Worldwide Leader back in Bristol from the traveling television studio parked outside the Marriott. Lynch and Manziel laughed about a misunderstanding during the media opportunity when Lynch joked that he thought Johnny Lattner carries his Heisman Trophy everywhere he goes, and a reporter thought he was referring to Manziel. (Lynch took a photo with Lattner and the Heisman Trophy when he was in sixth grade.)
As Lynch waited his turn on the hot seat, he looked outside and saw his family taking pictures outside the bus, smiled and said, "I think my dad is enjoying this more than me."
With less than two hours `til the next round of activities, Lynch finally headed to his hotel room for a well-deserved rest.
December 13, 2013 | 1:25 p.m. ET
Jordan Lynch's journey to New York City for this weekend's Heisman Trophy ceremony got a bit of an early start. A 2:45 a.m. wake up greeted the Huskie Heisman hopeful in what turned out to basically be a nap for the senior quarterback. Following a 7 p.m. practice Thursday night, Lynch came home to do a couple loads of laundry before going to bed at 12:45 a.m. You would expect a college kid getting up well before the sun to be a little groggy and tired, but not Lynch. He was excited for the weekend and couldn't wait to get to New York.
Lynch and the NIU travel party departed the Convocation Center parking lot a little after 3:30 a.m. for the drive to O'Hare Airport to catch a 5:56 a.m. flight to New York's LaGuardia Airport. When he got to the terminal, Lynch was joined by his family as the group snaked their way through the check-in and security lines. Following a short hour and 30 minute flight, Lynch and the traveling party landed in New York.
At the airport, a representative of the Heisman Trust greeted Lynch, his family and members of the NIU contingent. As they waited for their bags, many in the travel party were talking about the early start to the day, Lynch just grinned saying, "It's all worth it." When Lynch and his family reached the hotel they headed up to the hospitality suite and took in the spectacular views of the Big Apple.
Lynch and the other Heisman finalists grabbed lunch together at a local restaurant. This afternoon, Lynch has a press conference at 2:30 p.m., the Wendy's High School Heisman Dinner, a sightseeing tour of New York City and a welcome reception closes out his first day in New York.

Red Raider Volleyball Reports for 2013 Season
The Red Raiders held their first meeting of the 2013 season Friday evening.
Aug. 9, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas - The 2013 Texas Tech volleyball season officially began Friday evening when 19 Red Raiders reported to campus for a team meal and meeting at the United Spirit Arena.
The first set of practices is slated to begin at 3 p.m. Saturday afternoon in the United Spirit Arena practice gymnasium. Tech will return to the court later in the evening to complete the first two-a-day of training camp.
"It's always nice to have that first day and get everyone situated and on campus," Tech head coach Don Flora said. "Tonight was the first step in our season and tomorrow begins the preparation. We're anxious to get in the gym and get our feet wet. It should be a fun training camp."
Flora returns 12 letterwinners from last season's squad, including four starters in Rachel Brummitt, Breeann David, Mikia Mills and Aubree Piper, giving the third-year head coach his most-experienced squad of his tenure. Tech also welcomes seven newcomers to the program as well.
Tech opens the 2013 season on Aug. 30 with the Wildcat Invitational hosted by Weber State. The Red Raiders will face Seattle and UC Riverside on the first day of the two-day tournament before closing against Grand Canyon and the host Wildcats.

The temperature may start to dip soon, but it's still far too early to break out the winter wool. Trade in your lightweight summer scarves for the Star Knit Reversible Scarf ($79). The pattern is adorbs, but it's the mid-weight knit we're after. It'll keep us warm on crisp fall days, but won't look too bulky when we wear it with denim jackets and long-sleeved blazers.

When senior Danny Diekroeger sprints to first base to take his position Friday night against Utah, it will mark the 207th-consecutive game a Diekroeger has been in the lineup for the Stanford baseball team. His older brother, Kenny, was a three-year starter for the Cardinal, and now plays professionally for the Wilmington Blue Rocks (Kansas City) in the Class A Advanced Carolina League.
And the streak could grow. Mikey Diekroeger, a senior infielder at Menlo School, has been accepted to The Farm and will play baseball for Stanford next year.
"I can't wait to see what he's going to do here," Danny said. "He's a good player and he works hard. Growing up, we went to a bunch of games, but I never thought we would all come and play baseball here. It's pretty cool how things have worked out."
Added Kenny, "The odds of all three of us going to Stanford to play baseball … they're so long, I don't think any of us considered it."
Now that it has become a reality?
"We don't take things for granted and we work for what we have," said Kenny. "It's a very cool streak and fun to be a part of that."
You can probably guess how their mother and father, Kathy and Ken, feel about it.
"I'm very proud of them," said Ken, a Stanford graduate and Woodside resident. "Every once in a while, I just stop and appreciate how lucky we are. It's been a lot of fun."
While all three sons were standout athletes at Menlo, Kathy is arguably the best athlete in the family. She ran cross country and track at Dartmouth and still holds several school records.
Ken and Kathy have seemingly spent half their lives at Sunken Diamond.
"But I'm not complaining, because I know it ends," he said.
Both have their own way of watching their sons play.
"At some point, when Kenny and Danny were playing together, I just sat back and thought, 'This is really cool. Enjoy it while it lasts and stop worrying about what happens, whether they're playing well or not playing at all,' '' said Ken. "Just appreciate it."
Kathy has a different routine.
"She certainly enjoys it, but is probably tired of going to baseball games," he said. "Most of the time, you'll find her at the top row doing her crossword or reading a book while she's watching."
Originally drafted by Tampa Bay in the second round of the 2009 Free Agent Draft, Kenny opted for Stanford instead. In 2010, he was selected Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and first-team all-conference. Kenny played third base, batted .356, and shared the team RBI lead with 41, the first frosh in school history to accomplish the feat.
Danny followed his brother to The Farm in 2011 and appeared in 19 games, earning five starts as the designated hitter. He started 10 games at DH in 2012 and was picked to the NCAA Stanford Regional All-Tournament Team. Last year, he started all 54 games, and this season he has been a mainstay in the lineup. Highlights include reaching base safely in 17-straight games and producing back-to-back walk-off hits at Sunken Diamond in April.
At 6-foot-2, 220-pounds, Mikey is the biggest and strongest of the three. In four varsity seasons at Menlo, he has posted a career batting average of .360, a .493 on-base percentage, collected 102 hits, 55 RBI and scored 105 runs. Mikey also has 25 doubles.
"They've been great," said Mark Marquess, The Clarke and Elizabeth Nelson Director of Baseball. "Mikey is a good player and will come in and help and play. Probably the most high-profile one was Kenny because of the draft status. Probably the most low-profile one was Danny, but he's been phenomenal for us, especially this year with his leadership. Mikey is kind of in between them both; he's a draftable guy, left-handed and hits with power."
Growing up, the boys played football, basketball and Whiffle Ball in the backyard, with Mikey usually trying to keep up.
"My dad taught me how to swing a bat," Mikey said. "Kenny and Danny used to pick on me when I was 5-years-old. I always tried to stick with them and play with them. I never actually played on a team with Kenny, but I've played a game or two with Danny and practiced with them a lot."
Said Danny, "Mikey had to sort of elevate to keep up with us. I was always a little smaller than Kenny, so I had to elevate my game to match up with him. That competition that we had growing up definitely helped us a lot."
Once Kenny got to Stanford, Danny would pal around with his friends. Mikey has done the same with Danny's friends.
"Kenny set a great example ahead of me with work ethic and training," Danny said. "When you see the guy ahead of doing that kind of stuff, then you just feel like that's what you're supposed to do."
Mikey has had the good fortune to learn from both.
"Obviously, being the youngest child, it's definitely an advantage to have two older brothers go through what you are about to go through," he said. "We'll take grounders and hit together, but to be honest, it's more off the field, like get your school work done. They're both pretty studious people.
"Kenny is always getting on me to sleep a lot and make sure I eat right. He hovers over me like a brother and also a parent, making sure I have all my stuff together and do all the little things that can help improve my game.
"For Danny, it's more the mental part of the game. More than anyone I know, more than anyone I've played with, I think Danny has one of the best mindsets and approaches to the game. He has a lot of confidence in himself. He wasn't given many chances his freshman and sophomore year, but took advantage of them. Danny is always texting me things like, 'Mikey, try this; focus on your breaths; on the on-deck, make sure you're imagining that pitch you want.' They both help me in different ways."
Danny readily admits it was tough following in Kenny's footsteps, but it has also helped motivate him.
"That's how it's been for my whole life," said Danny. "And I think people always expected a little less of me than Kenny, just because he was always talented and I was a little smaller and less high-profile. I felt if anything, I have sort of had that edge that I wanted to prove myself and show that I could be as good as him or better."
Last summer, Danny hit .314 in 36 games with the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League. He, like Kenny, is eyeing a pro career. But big brother knows it's a huge jump from college to the pro's, and is still finding his way.
"It's a whole different ballgame," he said. "Just being away from Stanford and the people is completely different. Playing every day; busing all over the country. Everybody in pro ball is extremely talented. Not that college is not, but for us, the big leagues are in sight and competition is very stiff to get there.
"It's really forced me to be even more disciplined and mentally strong. If anything, I've learned how tough of a game it is and how hard it is to truly succeed. It's a tough but fun challenge."
Mikey would love to pick up where Danny leaves off at the end of this season, and is well aware of the Diekroeger streak. But he's not going to put added pressure on himself.
"That streak is definitely a goal of mine, but I'm not going to let that affect me if I don't end up starting," said Mikey. "It's a cool little stat that I'd like to keep going. It's doable, but I'm going to have to earn it. Kenny and Danny both did, and I have to, too."
Ken hasn't given it a second thought.
"Mikey's been able to spend a Iot of time with Danny's friends and Kenny's friends," he said. "They don't hold anything back. He has a better understanding of what life is like and what it takes than any other kid that has ever come into the program. I'm just happy that he's going to school here next year and will be on the team. If he plays at all, that will be a bonus. If he plays well, it will be an even bigger bonus. That's kind of how I felt with Kenny and Danny."
Marquess likes his chances.
"All three of them are very versatile," Marquess said. "Danny has played second, short, third and has done fantastic at first base. Kenny was the same; he could play anywhere. I think Mikey is the same way. But his bat is big time."
Marquess is grateful to the entire Diekroeger family for everything they have done for Stanford Athletics.
"Ken and Kathy have been fantastic supporters of the program," said Marquess. "We're real fortunate to have local players play here, because we don't get a lot of them at Stanford. It makes for a nice situation."
All three brothers credit their mom and dad for helping them pursue their dreams.
"My parents are the best in the world," Mikey said. "Without them, I don't think we would have a chance to be where we are today."

A comparison of in vitro and in vivo characteristics of tumour cells derived from patients with mucosal melanoma treated with imatinib was performed with respect to KIT mutations. Three patients with mucosal melanoma were treated with imatinib. Patient-derived tumour material was used to establish melanoma cell cultures ex vivo. We evaluated tumour material and cell cultures for KIT protein expression and KIT mutation status. In addition, proliferation assays with melanoma cell cultures were performed with imatinib. Expression of KIT protein and KIT mutation was shown in two patients who responded to imatinib in vivo. Cells derived from a third patient who did not respond to imatinib did not express KIT and lacked a KIT mutation. Patient-derived melanoma cells did not show any KIT mutations, nor did they respond to imatinib in vitro. Our study underlines that melanoma consists of a heterogeneous cell population, making it imperative to use the mapping of involved activating tumour growth-driving pathways in order to improve response to therapy with kinase inhibitors.

In the "file system queue", once all the songs are done, playback returns to the "play queue", that is exactly what I want. The problem is, when I add a new song to the "file system queue", once that song is finished, it proceeds to play another song from the "file system queue" and then proceed to the "play queue". So far, the only pattern I've found is that the next song played song is always the next one alphabetically.
Is there anyway to automatically remove songs from the "file system queue" once they are done playing, or for each queued song to play only once?
Edit: The pattern doesn't some to be alphabetically, but rather random.

NFL fans know the answer to this easy question: Who is the league's most penalized team? It's the Oakland Raiders, of course.
But who's second?
The Seattle Seahawks.
Seattle has penalized 13 times on Sunday, the most in any game since the 2002 season opener. Seven of those 13 penalties came in the fourth quarter, making their win over a good Baltimore team all the more surprising.
Seattle has been penalized 83 times this season. Oakland is the leader at 91 penalties.
"I can't tell you we can stop it yet, because I can't tell you how fast we can grow up," coach Pete Carroll said. "It is about making decisions and choices."
It's hard to argue with the Sporting News' selection of Boston as the best NBA city.
Let's see 17 championships and the great Red Auerbach with his 56 years as coach and president. Auerbach recognized the benefit of a dominant center, the fast break and pioneered the concept of the sixth man, a role that got Frank Ramsey, Sam Jones, John Havlicek and Kevin McHale into the Hall of Fame.
Winning is a tradition for the Celtics. Also, past greats like Tom Heinsohn, Cedric Maxwell are team broadcasters.
But two everyday items speak to the greatness of Celtics' basketball: parquet floors and victory cigars.
Who is worse than the Mariners in Major League Baseball? Three teams, according to Stan McNeal of Sporting News. Seattle is slotted in at No. 27 in the 2012 power ratings. The bottom three beneath the M's are Minnesota, San Diego and Houston. It's a sad day when your franchise is considered worse than the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Solid minerality lends complexity and structure. The mouthfeel is full, while bright acidity cleans the palate and offers ease and versatility to food-pairing. A wine of excellent balance and complexity, the 2006 Treana White will age beautifully over the next decade.
"There's fantastic depth and richness to the apricot, peach and almond flavors. Intense as syrup, but with a good acidity that keeps it light on its feet. The richness persists on the finish. Viognier and Marsanne. Drink now."-Wine Spectator
"Treana has enjoyed great success with this blend of Viognier and Marsanne, which is one of the best Rhone-style white wines in California. The main reason is the source of the grapes. The '06 is as rich and crisply acidic as ever, with fantastically complex, honeyed tropical fruit, apricot and floral flavors that taste like they have a touch of botrytis."-Wine Enthusiast
The Hope family began planting vineyards in the area in 1978. Two decades of experience has taught them not only how to grow the finest quality wine grapes, but has also shown them the tremendous potential of the region.
Formerly, the Hopes sold wine under the Hope Family label directly from the winery's tasting room. Beginning with the 1990 vintage, the Hope ranches became the sole source of fruit for Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon. In 1996, they founded Treana Winery after years of hands-on experience in viticulture and winemaking. Today, the Hopes cultivate mature vineyards of the varietals best suited to their area; Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Grenache, Petit Verdot, Mourvedre and Merlot.

Knicks have same problem as other teams in sports.
View Single Post
Can barely lace up my sneakers
Join Date: Jan 2007

In the overall scope of things, injuries and other great teams are included. It even includes great management teams, which come and go over the course of 120 years. Even Red Aurebach dies at some point. This is probability theory; it holds true. Four samplings is too small; that's just an example. And also all things have to remain relatively equal.
But if there remains 30 NBA teams and the salary cap rules stay in effect for the next 300 years (10 samplings), then the Knicks should win 10 championships, give or take a few.
Maybe we'll be lucky and they'll win all 10 in the next 20 years and then go 280 years without one.
(Celtics of the sixties don't count cause there were less teams then and all things weren't equal; Aurebach held the league on his string.)

Pendulum Room Peril
this wiki
Pendulum Room Peril (明日なき街! 勝利への遠い道のり, Asu naki Machi! Shori e no Toi Michinori) is the seventeenth episode of the Vegeta Saga in the uncut Dragon Ball Z series. The episode first aired on August 30, 1989. Its original American air date was November 15, 1996.
After half a year of overcoming emotional and physical hardship, Gohan is finally being trained by Piccolo. Meanwhile, up at Kami's Lookout, Krillin and the remaining Z Fighters are growing impatient with Kami, who, after two months, has still not given any lessons to his pupils. Mr. Popo then takes everyone (excluding Yajirobe) on a mental combat simulation, using an old and mysterious mechanism inside the palace: the Pendulum Room.
There, in the middle of a long-since ruined Saiyan city, Tien Shinhan and the others are attacked by two ferocious Saiyan warriors. The four of them put up a fight, but the odds are hopeless, and they are picked off one by one. Returning to the present, Kami tells the team that their opponents were only half as strong as genuine Saiyans. Rather than being frightened off by this revelation, the prospects of facing such incredible warriors renews the convictions of our heroes to fight.
- During a later episode in the series King Kai says that the gravity on Planet Vegeta is over 10 times Earth's gravity but when Mr. Popo sends Krillin, Yamcha, Tien and Chiaotzu to the planet in the Pendulum Room, they all seem to be unaffected by this (whereas Goku can barely stand in the identical gravity on King Kai's planet). However, the original Japanese version makes no explicit comments that the place they have been sent to is Vegeta.
