Sunderland 4 Wigan Athletic 2
Sunderland pulled out a huge comeback performance to end their winless run in style, powered by four second-half goals.
A tense and nervy first half gave way to a firecracker second as Wigan took the lead thanks to a stunning strike from Mohammed Diame.
Asamoah Gyan equalised within three minutes and then the floodgates opened, with Henderson slamming home his first goal before Stephane Sessegnon won and converted a spot-kick.
Henderson, excellent in midfield, added a second 13 minutes from time before Franco Di Santo pulled a goal back for the visitors in the 90th minute.
Captain Lee Cattermole produced one of his best displays in a Sunderland shirt and set the tone on an afternoon when the hosts battled for every ball and showed great strength of character to recover from the blow of going behind.
But there was collateral damage for manager Steve Bruce as he lost Phil Bardsley, Danny Welbeck and Asamoah Gyan to injuries.
Nonetheless, the Sunderland chief will have been delighted with the effort and application shown by his side as they notched their first victory since late January.
Going into the game looking to end their winless run, Sunderland had the first half-chance when Welbeck's deflected shot was claimed by Ali Al Habsi.
However, the hosts were dealt a serious blow with just three minutes on the clock when Bardsley went down following a sickening clash of heads with Nedum Onuoha.
The defender lay motionless on the field for several minutes while receiving treatment from the club's medical staff before being stretchered off with an oxygen mask strapped to his face.
It was the last thing manager Bruce and his team-mates would have wanted to see.
Bruce introduced Anton Ferdinand and his players continued to press, coming close in the 24th minute as Ahmed Elmohamady crossed from the right and Gyan, craning his neck to reach the incoming low ball, headed just wide of Al Habsi's goal.
But the injury curse struck again moments later when Welbeck went down injured off the ball and was replaced by Steed Malbranque.
Sunderland - now featuring Sessegnon up front alongside Gyan - were on top but Wigan came close on the half-hour when Cattermole was robbed by Ben Watson and the ball fell to Hugo Rodallega, who brought a good save from Mignolet with a snapshot from the edge of the box.
The game featured plenty of effort but few chances of note as the first period finished goalless.
The Black Cats started the second with plenty of verve, coming close when Al Habsi turned a Michael Turner header onto the roof of his goal before Elmohamady saw a low drive deflected past the post.
But it was Wigan who took the lead against the run of play seven minutes into the half. Diame, scorer of a stunning strike at the SoL last year, popped up again when he lashed home a loose ball from 20 yards, leaving Mignolet with no chance.
Fortunately, Sunderland's response was immediate. A free kick was spread out wide to Malbranque and Gyan nearly took the roof off the Stadium of Light when he headed home the Belgian's inswinging cross at the near post from six yards out.
The goal was the Ghanaian's 10th of the season and his first since scoring in the home defeat to Spurs in February. It could also be one of his most important.
However, it was to be the striker's last contribution to the game as the injury bug struck again - the frontman pulled up when chasing a long ball and was stretchered off, another addition to the casualty list.
Sulley Muntari entered the fray with Malbranque moving up front alongside Sessegnon. The diminutive pair - an unlikely combination - gave Wigan a torrid time as Sunderland found top gear and blew away their winless run.
The goal Wearside was baying for eventually arrived on 63 minutes when Henderson triggered a huge release of emotion.
Muntari provided the catalyst with a neat ball across the box, but the approach play was all Henderson's own. The England international powered past three defenders and advanced on Al Habsi before powering an unstoppable shot inside the keeper's near post and into the roof of the net.
It was a huge goal from the youngster, who has been excellent since returning to the side following a brief spell on the bench.
And any tension inside the Stadium of Light evaporated four minutes later.
Sessegnon, playing his best game since moving to the club in January, probed at the visiting defence with a diagonal run across the box and was hauled down by Wigan captain Antolin Alcaraz.
A pressure penalty if ever there was one - but Sessegnon stayed ice cool to send Al Habsi the wrong way and roll the spot-kick into the corner to spark delirium on the terraces.
However, it was left to Henderson to round off an incredible spell of four goals in 14 scintillating minutes, with Sessegnon the creator.
The latter raced away onto a superb ball down the left flank and left the Wigan defence guessing before laying a lovely ball across the box for Henderson, who took a touch before dispatching coolly beyond a hopelessly exposed Al Habsi.
Muntari could have added a fifth late on but half-volleyed wide, and although sub Franco Di Santo pulled a goal back in the 90th minute when he slid home from close range, the late consolation couldn't dent the buoyant mood inside the SoL following a battling, and not to mention deserved, win.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — For the fourth time, the Oregon Supreme Court has overturned a death sentence for one of the longest-serving inmates on the state's death row.
The court ruled Thursday that a judge should not have forced the convicted murderer to represent himself before jurors determining his punishment.
The Oregonian reports (http://is.gd/ldLgbv ) that juries initially sentenced Robert Paul Langley Jr. to death for two separate murders, both prosecuted in 1989. Since then, one death sentence was converted to life with a minimum of 30 years in prison.
In Langley's most recent resentencing for the murder of Anne Louise Gray, his lawyers said they had too many conflicts with him and asked to be removed. A judge allowed one to be removed but told Langley he had to cooperate with the remaining lawyer or represent himself.
The high court says Langley said he didn't like either option. He appeared in court in his prison jumpsuit and failed to mount a defense. The jury took less than 20 minutes to deliver a death sentence.

Sudbury residents are less than thrilled over the building of a new state-of-the-art kennel on a 9 ½ acre lot in the town's historical area. The Buddy Dog Humane Society is looking to relocate its current facility from Route 20 to Wayside Inn Road in Sudbury, Mass., according to the MetroWest Daily News.
The Buddy Dog Humane Society is applying for permits under the Dover Amendment, which is a law that is lenient on zoning restrictions for religious, agricultural and educational organizations. Buddy Dog Humane Society falls under educational organization.
Sudbury residents are not happy, citing noise and an inappropriate facility in the historical district.
Buddy Dog purchased the land last August in the interest of both space and its seclusion. Though the organization has not yet filed plans with the town, the society wishes to raise about $4 million to build a sustainable facility that would be conscious of the area and residents. The plan could take many years for completion, but it will help the organization to move forward and expand, helping more animals.
Residents who are opposed to the move have created a petition to stop Buddy Dog, and have received more than 100 signatures. Those in opposition have cited the shelter being an inappropriate addition to the historical landmarks such as the Grist Mill, Martha Mary Chapel and the Wayside Inn.
Buddy Dog is not concerned with the reasons residents are giving. It plans on building the new facility on the site where a rise in the land would act as a natural noise buffer. The new area is secluded enough to blend in with the surrounding scenery. Buddy Dog claims to be transparent about the whole project in order for the residents to not be surprised.

Summer is here and a lot of people are buzzing about the goodness of the avocado. The silky fleshed green fruit is a summer must have that provides our bodies with potassium and protein. Avocados also have saturated fat, but this is GOOD for you! Now that the bikinis and swimsuits are out, grab some avocados and keep them on hand for meals that maintain that hard won figure. here are three simple ways to get some 'alligator pear' into your diet:
1. Avocado Toast: So easy. Smash half a cut up, pitted, avocado in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Toast fresh bread or csusty rolls and spread with a little creamy horseradish or butter, depending on your preference. Now take a spoonful of the avaocado micture and spread it on the bread. Sprinkle with scallions, chives, bacon bits, cracked fresh pepper, sea salt, sliced radish, wilted kale or spinach, watercress... etc. Customize to your heart's desire. Sit down with a glass of fresh iced tea and enjoy.
2. CousCous Bowl: A light and fun Middle-eastern dish with a California twist. Prepare couscous (basically boil water, stir in pasta, wait ten minutes). While the couscous is soaking, prep your avocado by slicing it, paring off the peel, and then cutting it into chunks. You don't need more than half a cup per bowl. Cut up scallions and add to the chunks of avocado. Spoon fully prepared couscous into a bowl, then layer avocado and scallions over it. Sprinkle with paprika for color and flavor. Serve.
3. Monterey Bacon Omelette with Cherry Tomatoes and Avocado: This is actually a play on a dish that I fell in love with in a San Francisco diner. Grate a quarter of a cup of Monterey Jack cheese into a bowl. Add bacon bits or a handful of chopped ham, or turkey. Crack two eggs (or egg whites) into another bowl and whisk until frothy. Pour into a heated skillet greases with a small amount of olive oil, a teaspoonful should be sufficient. Let the eggs cook until the bottom is set, spoon in cheese and meat, and then gently slide a spatula under an edge of the egg and fold over. You can scramble the eggs as well, but the omelette looks pretty.
let the folded omelette cook for a minute and then use the spatula to turn it over so that both sides are equally cooked. Turn off the heat, but let the eggs sit on a burner while you finish prepping your amazing dish.
Chop up two or three cherry tomatoes, and then chip up half of a ripe, peeled avocado. Set aside. Grab a clean plate and slide the eggs onto them. Then layer avocado on the side, and finish by sprinkling the cherry tomatoes over the avocado and eggs. Sprinkle with black pepper and a little sea salt. Serve to enthusiastic applause.
Summer cooking couldn't be simpler!

Speed up your presentation production with these PowerPoint keyboard shortcuts
PowerPoint is slideshows made easy. Because Microsoft PowerPoint has a simple user-friendly interface, it is undoubtedly idiot-proof to get a hang of things while navigating through its functions. Still, if you want to take your presentation skills further, you can stay ahead of everyone else with these keyboard shortcuts, and you'll never see PowerPoint the same way again.
Basic slide editing
You may know about the basic copy/paste and select shortcuts common throughout Microsoft Office, but these slide shortcuts will pull your productivity up a notch.
· Alt + 4 – This distributes objects in your slide in a horizontal manner.
· Alt + Shift + 4 – This distributes objects in your slide in a vertical manner.
· Alt + 5 – It allows you to align objects and content to your slide.
· Alt + Shift + W – When you have an image or an object, this Bring To Front shortcut key brings it to the topmost among all your other objects.
· Alt + Shift + Q – Conversely, Send To Back places your object at the backmost part of your other contents. This is useful when you have too many items cluttered and you want to organize them.
· Alt + Shift + S – It brings your object one step forward.
· Alt + Shift + A – It brings your object one step backward.
Viewing options
PowerPoint was made for slides to be viewed on screen rather than printed out, and there are different ways for you to project your slides when viewing.
· Ctrl + 1 – View Normal. This is the normal slide view that defaults when you open PowerPoint.
· Ctrl + 2 – View Outline. This shows you the outline of all your slide's contents. You can check bullet points more easily this way.
· Ctrl + 3 – View Notes. This shows you the footnotes and memos you leave for yourself at the bottom of each slide for quick references.
Slideshow navigation
Once you're done creating your slides, you're now ready to present a slideshow. Here are navigation shortcuts when presenting.
- F5 and Esc – This starts and ends your slideshow.
- N/P – Pressing this letter moves on to the next slide/previous slide.
- Enter/Spacebar/Right and Down Arrow Keys – This takes you to the next animation in your slide; not to be confused with the next slide function.
- Backspace/Page Up/Left and Up Arrow Keys – This repeats the previous animation; not to be confused with the previous slide function.
- Slide Number + Enter – This shortcut lets you go to a particular slide in your presentation.

Shaun Phillips received a heartwarming message from his son after the Denver Broncos were massacred by Seattle in the 2014 Super Bowl. While the players and fans were licking their wounds from playing and watching this game, Phillips' little son gave his dad, and now the fans, a reason to crack a smile.
According to Mashable on Feb. 3, Phillips' son text messaged his dad, after his dad wrote to him "Sorry I let you down." The little boy's response was simple and right to the point, "It's ok daddy u r still my hero."
Phillips wrote another tweet to his fans saying "Sorry we let you guys down. Messages like this is the 1 my thing that make me feel better." Then he posted what his son had texted to him, sharing the "u r my hero" message with the fans.
From the mouth of babes! That little guy didn't need his dad to win to be his hero. He just needed his dad to be himself. You have to admit Seattle looked like they were playing a high school team. Denver was like a school of fish out of water, but enough said about that. There is one little boy who is still very proud of his dad today.

Oct. 26, 2001
By DOUG FEINBERG
AP MegaSports Writer
UCLA coach Bob Toledo knows how little the early Bowl Championship Series standings mean.
The fourth-ranked Bruins (6-0, 3-0 Pac-10), who visit 20th-ranked Stanford on Saturday, are currently third in the BCS standings, behind Oklahoma and Nebraska. The Bruins learned three years ago how little the BCS rankings mean this early on. In 1998, they were 10-0 and headed for the national championship game before losing at Miami 49-45 in the regular-season finale.
Toledo said he planned to tell his players the BCS rankings were coming out, "and not to pay attention to them.
"I think the big thing is what we've been telling them all along - the BCS doesn't matter until the end," he said. "If you look too far down the road, you get hit in the head.
"I think it's nice that we've positioned ourselves for the opportunity. If we don't take care of business, it doesn't matter. You can feel the pressure building, the pressure just mounts and mounts. These are kids, they're not pros. They don't always bring their `A' game."
UCLA is more concerned about staying unbeaten than its current BCS ranking.
"We know that doesn't mean anything," linebacker Robert Thomas said. "We're not really worried about that until the season's over. You lose one time, you're pretty much out.
"I don't think we really need that for motivation. All that stuff's going to come - the BCS, the polls. We're 6-0, we want to be 7-0. We want to be flying back on that plane with a smile on our face."
Standing in the way will be a vastly improved Stanford squad.
The Cardinal (4-1, 3-1) are coming off an impressive 49-42 upset of Oregon on Saturday, taking advantage of two blocked punts, an onsides kick and a costly interception of Ducks star quarterback Joey Harrington. Stanford rallied from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to win.
"We believe in everybody on this team," said Stanford's Tank Williams, who got an arm around Harrington's neck to force the errant throw. "We knew that somehow, some way, we were going to pull this game out."
Stanford will have to figure a way to stop UCLA running back DeShaun Foster. The Heisman candidate has rushed for 997 yards and 10 touchdowns so far this season. He was held to just 117 yards in the Bruins' 56-17 victory over California last Saturday as the Bears stacked against the run.
"You saw the way they were playing defense - nine guys in the box," UCLA quarterback Cory Paus said. "We're still going to run the ball. I'm just glad we were able to do some things we wanted to do."
UCLA leads the all-time series 38-29-3, including a 37-35 victory last year.

According to at least some experts, the European Robin is now in the family Muscicapidae, an old world flycatcher.

Turdus thrushes are much larger, and usually have spotted breasts. You can see this in the juvenile of the American Robin Turdus migratorius.

The American Robin and the European Robin are not very similar in appearance at all. The American Robin was given the name "Robin" by European settlers only because it has a red breast. The European Robin is much smaller and more delicate with a red face and bib.

European robins are small, solitary, very territorial, and do not migrate. Their song is an extended, very attractive warbling sound.

Cherry pits come out pretty cleanly from the cherries (no strings, like your plum pit), so it could be vomiting of excreting. I would guess that carrying around extra seeds (while they made their way through the digestive tract) would be inefficient, and regurgitating them would lighten the load.

I have a cherry tree outside my office window and it is being completely stripped by birds, in order of criminality:

a) Blackbirds
b) Hooded crows
c) Starlings
d) Other thrushes

I have not seen any swallow the fruit, although I suppose the crows could manage it, and they do carry whole fruit away. What they mostly do is eat much of the flesh and drop the rest.

I have also noticed some very messy beaks completely clean a few minutes later (probably the same bird as blackbirds are aggressively territorial) so your birdbath may be a convenient beak cleaning place.

Does not explain very clean pits though, they would have been dropped firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12008904.post-89486261885474762872008-06-27T20:13:00.000-04:002008-06-27T20:13:00.000-04:00Could it be defecated and the fecal matter dissolv...Could it be defecated and the fecal matter dissolved in the water?Johnhttp://email@example.com

MTA Chairman: January Fare Hikes Are Basically Unavoidable
Savor these last four months.
After the first of its two legally mandated public hearings Monday night, it now appears almost certain that the MTA will move ahead with fare hikes this January. MTA chairman Jay Walder said he didn't see how it would be possible to avoid the increase in fares for bus, subway and commuter fares.
"I don't think that's really the choice we have right now we're dealing with a financial situation that I believe is going to require a fare increase," he said on his way into the hearing, held at Cooper Union.
The Daily News quotes two attendees at the hearing who expressed their dismay: one woman reportedly shouted, "People have gotten hip to the fact that these hearings are a sham" (though we're having trouble imagining someone shouting that particular phrase) and an 80-year-old woman named Margaret Wade complained, "It will limit my ability to go anywhere. I just can't afford it." We feel you, Margaret.
January MTA fare hikes become almost certain, provoking public outrage at hearing [NYDN]

Additional cases of the H1N1 virus also known as swine flu have been confirmed among five cruise ship crewmembers.
An official statement from Holland America Line confirms that the crewmembers, onboard Zaandam's May 29 Alaska sailing, tested positive for H1N1 in a shore-side lab operated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They were isolated in their cabins immediately after reporting initial cold and flu-like symptoms and treated. All have recovered.
No passengers aboard the cruise, which ended June 5 in Seattle, were identified with the virus. Also, there are no affected crewmembers or guests identified on the current sailing.
The statement also says that guests on the current sailing were notified of the outbreak, and that nobody elected not to sail. As a precaution, a special cleaning chemical proven effective in killing the virus was used in high traffic areas onboard.
Back in May, two Royal Caribbean crewmembers fell ill with flu-like symptoms on an Alaska cruise.

Should I sign something that's going to be placed in my child's record, because I disagree with a class room rule?
I disagree with a classroom rule because of the negative effects on my child. I discussed it with the teacher, principle, and board of education director. Teacher was like they need to know what I expect. Principle was sign the paper to cover our behind. Education director said aren't you done venting? Rule is if my child scores below a 75 on a test he comes in from recess to change the answers and then can go back out after he hands back in the paper. 1) she does not change the grade. 2) the principle calls it intervention because they only see my child in black and white. 3) education director still doesn't care. My child said after this happened he hated school, didn't want to go back and felt like he was being picked on because she didn't help him with his answer she helped the other students so they got to go back out and he didn't. I asked if she went over why they were wrong if he said no. So I don't see any intervention being done. And not all parents are complaining just the one the kids don't like. And she hasn't sent out a class room rule she so I don't know them all just this one he disagrees with. So should I sign a paper the principle sent me to be placed in my child's record permit all to cover their behinds as he puts it, or do I advocate for my child further? He is open enrollment and they may choose not to accept him and this could affect his schooling. I don't want that, but I don't want my child to feel like he is being punished with this classroom rule.In Topics: Working with school administrators, My Relationship with my child's school

Please Describe Your Post–White House Plans Briefly for the Yearbook
Politico fuels the dreams of every kid who thinks admission to Harvard merits a national news headline.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -- The Detroit Lions have placed tight end Brandon Pettigrew on injured reserve, ending his season.
The five-year veteran injured an ankle late in a Dec. 16 loss to Baltimore and has not practiced or played since. He finished the season with 41 receptions for 416 yards and two touchdowns.
The Lions practiced Wednesday with just two tight ends, Joseph Fauria and practice squad player Matt Veldman. Dorin Dickerson suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to the New York Giants and has not yet been cleared to return.

God bless Netflix for showing me the wonders of Doctor Who. I am a straight up nerd when it comes to a few things... Harry Potter (I display the highest level of geek here), Lord of the Rings, Twilight (sort of, but not really)... I knew of Doctor Who and I knew the show had quite a following, but had never seen an episode until I looked for something to occupy my brain a little while I work on my husband's giant (but yet unfinished) knitted blanket.

Baltimore County News
by Vince Gardina
Director of the Baltimore County Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability
We all know that the Chesapeake Bay and the many streams and rivers that run to it have been declining for decades, but did you know that Baltimore County has an entire team of scientists and engineers working to help restore the Bay? That's right. Baltimore County's Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability has teams whose sole effort is to evaluate water quality and put in place various practices and construction projects designed to restore water quality by cleaning storm water as it runs off of our houses, buildings, roads and parking lots. The goal is to remove pollutants like nitrogen, phosphorous and sediment from these waters so that they don't end up in the Bay. You see, these pollutants harm the water and by removing oxygen and sunlight causing fish, crabs, oysters and submerged plants to die.
Baltimore County is working with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Maryland Department of Environment to address water quality standards required in the Clean Water Act. This federal law requires that certain polluted waterways meet what are known as Total Maximum Daily Loads for these pollutants. Basically, the pollutant concentrations in the designated waterways must be reduced to acceptable levels that do not affect wildlife or humans. The County is planning to meet these pollutant load reductions by putting in place measures called Best Management Practices. These are defined in a planning document prepared by the County and submitted to Maryland Department of Environment. All of these measures to reduce pollutants must be in place by 2025.
What kind of practices and capital projects will help restore the Bay? There are hundreds, but the most effective ones are stream restorations, storm water management facility upgrades, shoreline stabilization, bioretention systems and tree plantings. However, this isn't just a job for us. Every county resident can help these efforts by applying less lawn fertilizer, using rain barrels to catch storm water, planting trees on their property, building a rain garden, keeping grass at least three inches high, and removing a sidewalk or paved area and replacing it with pavers or stone.
For more information on our efforts to keep the Bay clean and safe, go to http://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/Agencies/environment/monitoring/tmdl.html.

You're never alone on an airplane
Loneliness heads the list of emotions people dread the most. An emotion to which we are prone when we sadly say goodbye to our loved ones at the entrance to the airport as we are setting out on a trip.
Here at TAV, a company that operates airports where journeys begin and end, we are no strangers to the sadness and loneliness experienced on our departures level every day, or to the joy and happiness of being reunited with loved ones on the arrivals level.
For those who have left their loved ones behind during a flight, the feeling of loneliness is often exacerbated by a fear of flying. The truth is however that you are never alone on an airplane, which is the safest mode of transportation in the world. Experienced pilots and cabin crew are always at your side. As an airport operator, we keep track of you and your luggage right up to your final destination, even if you have a connecting flight. And our Air Traffic Controllers, who are some of the most important people in aviation, monitor your progress second by second until you reach your point of arrival.
I made my first flight abroad in 1977 when I flew Turkish Airlines to London for my post-graduate education. Exactly 30 years ago… In those days, we witnessed a process in which the effects of the Cold War were quite palpable, globalization had not yet begun, and communications were tenuous.
I stayed in England for two years without returning to Turkey. Since air travel was not readily available, it was impossible to go to England in the morning and return in the evening as you can do today. In those days, when I was feeling deeply alone and homesick, my mother came to visit me. While I was eagerly awaiting her arrival at Heathrow Airport, I heard an announcement in Turkish saying that my mother's plane had landed. I was awed by the sound of that Turkish Airlines announcer woman's voice coming over the loudspeakers, and my eyes brimmed with tears. That voice announcing my mother's arrival still echoes in my ears today as vivid as if it were yesterday. Due to possible language problems, Turkish Airlines in those days made its own announcements in Turkish at Heathrow, giving out information about arrivals and departures for the convenience of the Turkish passengers.
Now it's 2007. Thirty years have passed since I first went to England. Exactly thirty years on it gives me great pleasure to be at the head of a company that through its investments has made Ataturk Airport, where I departed on my first trip abroad, one of the most modern airports in the world, as well as operating six more airports. Although I am a person familiar with aviation down to the smallest detail who flies two hundred days out of the year, my chest still constricts when I see the sun rise over the Himalayas on a flight to Asia; that same sense of yearning overtakes me again, and at that moment nothing can change the pull of that emotion.

What Your CEO Is Reading: Why Narcissistic CEOs Get Paid More; Minecraft-Style Leadership
Every week, CIO Journal offers a glimpse into the mind of the CEO, whose view of technology is shaped by stories in management journals, general interest magazines and, of course, in-flight publications.
Why narcissistic CEOs get paid more, even though they don't perform better. Several factors make the narcissistic CEO more likely to secure a better pay package than the ordinary CEO, says a new Stanford study. Board members, who determine pay, respond more readily to a narcissist's energy, self-confidence and charisma (without recognizing the darker, more manipulative qualities). "From the board member's perspective, you've got this person who is quite charming," researcher Charles O' Reilly writes in the Stanford Graduate School of Business magazine. But despite their "sense of entitlement" and their "grandiosity," narcissists don't necessarily perform any better than their merely egocentric peers. Noting that a large pay divide between the CEO and other executives can harm company morale and even performance, narcissistic CEOs nevertheless hold on and keep getting pay raises. How? By tapping their inner King Louis XIV. "The same lack of empathy that makes narcissists less likeable to underlings also helps these CEOs fire them with little guilt," Mr. O'Reilly concludes. It's good to be the king.
Why you lead determines how well you lead. A new study of the careers of more than 10,000 West Point graduates argues that individuals who are driven by internal, values-based motivations when in a position of leadership perform better than those operating in pursuit of external rationales or incentives. More surprising, writes Tom Kolditz in the Harvard Business Review, is that those operating under both internal and external rationales "proved to be worse investments as leaders than those with fewer, but predominately internal, motivations." External incentives may work with "lab rats," but in the business world, promises of better pay and a greater share of the profits will not make a person in a leadership position perform better. In fact, "external motivations, even atop strong internal motivations, were leadership poison." A good way to take a measure of your leadership capability, Mr. Kolditz suggests, is to ask yourself why you want to be one. "The answer to that question, as it turns out, will make a significant difference in how well you lead."
Mojang: Smash-hit 'Minecraft' maker. Swedish start-up Mojang does everything different. Its primary product, the 'game' Minecraft, could be one of the biggest sellers in videogame history, despite having "blocky and unsophisticated" graphics and "not much of a plot." Unlike other tech startups, Mojang does not canoodle with venture capitalists. Beyond a deal with The Lego Group, Mojang mostly shies away from licensing deals; a different stance from Rovio "Angry Birds" Entertainment Ltd., their bros across the Baltic Sea. And Mojang's CEO, Carl Manneh, came to the company as an experienced CEO, a rarity in indie-game land where that job usually ends up in the lap of a founder. But the set-up lets the developers concentrate on the product and Mr. Manneh concentrate on telling most would-be business partners to go jump into the nearest Nether Portal. "The most common word I say is 'no,'" he tells the FT's Richard Milne. However, Mr. Manneh does listen to customers, namely the tens of millions of players, modders, YouTube personalities and the like, who have made Minecraft arguably the cultural event of the year. "Everything we do in terms of commercial partnerships comes back to community and not how big the pile of money is," he says. "If it doesn't make sense for the community or the brand, then it's an easy decision to say no."

Brian's exclusive forecast for Washington DC:
Rest of this afternoon: Sunny and breezy at times with a high in the mid to upper 60s.
Tonight: Clear and chilly with a low in the upper 30s to lower 40s.
Monday: Sunny with a high in the mid to upper 60s.
Monday Night: Variable cloudiness with a low in the upper 40s.
Tuesday: Clouds and sun with a chance of afternoon showers. The high will be near 70.
The extended forecast calls for a mostly sunny sky on Wednesday with a low in the upper 40s and a high in the upper 60s. Sunny on Thursday with a low in the upper 30s to lower 40s and a high in the mid 60s. Clouds and sun with scattered showers on Friday with a low in the upper 40s and a high in the upper 60s. Clouds and sun on Saturday with a low in the upper 40s and a high in the upper 60s.
Weather Summary
High pressure over New England provided the Middle Atlantic states with a sunny, breezy, and pleasant day on Sunday with highs in the 60s. A pressure gradient between high pressure to our north and an area of low pressure to our southeast has caused some breezy conditions today. The high will allow for temperatures to fall back into the upper 30s to mid 40s by Monday morning, but the High will lose its influence by Monday night as it nudges eastward into the Atlantic and the Low to our southeast will continue to move out to sea. This will result in a mostly sunny and pleasant day on Monday with highs once again in the 60s. Meanwhile, a cold front is expected to move from west to east across the region on Tuesday and produce more cloudiness along with a chance of a few rain showers. As the front clears the area on Wednesday, sunshine will return with seasonable temperatures. Lows will be in the 40s and highs will be in the 60s on Wednesday through Friday of the coming week. Rain showers may move back into the region by Friday afternoon.

Cairns Tropical Pride float gets set to Come Out for Spring
Cairns Tropical Pride Festival is playing the youth card this year with its entry in the annual Cairns Festival Parade.
The float's drivers for the August 30 parade will be Nikira Lowe, 18, and Jesse Cook, 21.
Because this year's Pride theme is 'Come out and celebrate Spring!' the float promises to be a riot of colour, movement and love.
Nikira Lowe came out at age 17, after leaving high school, and recalls that it was a scary time, not knowing how people would react.
"When I came out, I felt a lot more comfortable with who I was," she says. "Knowing that I had a supportive group of friends and family made it all easier."
Last year's Cairns Pride float.
Jesse Cook says Cairns Tropical Pride Festival is the time of year when the queer community comes together to celebrate its identity.
"I was born in a country town outside of Cairns and 'coming out' was really not done there," Cook says.
At 14 years of age he defiantly stood in front of the mirror confessing his sexuality to himself first, before he was ready to tell family and friends.
"It was hard, but my mother was always there beside me," says Cook, who also performs in drag.
"It was also the time to decide who my friends were. That's the great thing about Cairns Tropical Pride and the festival: you are amongst friends."

Interview with Jamaica Kincaid
Jamaica Kincaid, author of At the Bottom of the River, Lucy, Annie John, My Brother, Mon Frere, My Garden and a variety of essays and short-stories, speaks with Don Swaim about life, writing and family. She adopted the penname Jamaica Kincaid fearing that the people from her homeland of Antigua would not understand what she was writing. Due to this fear, Kincaid has always considered her writing weak to start, but claims she finds herself and gains strength as the novel progresses. Kincaid and Swaim talk about this and more in this 1991 interview.

Hi Bruce – thanks for your advice , pulled out an old computer sitting under the bed , ripped out the power supply & now were flying tomorrow (weather permitting) – the grey wire was? 1st in from the left on the Dell PS – 5141 3A 145W power supply – none the less were flat out charging batteries tonight – TOTALLY Stoked Thanks Heaps
HWGuyEG (1431 days)
I wouldn't run any expensive electronics from a junk power supply when you can get an excellent PSU for $30.
Also, a switch would be better than shorting because some PSUs take a few milliseconds before giving? clean power, although smarter ones don't turn on until they can.
Crude ones don't work with various cross loads.
Xairflyer (1431 days)
I have modified quite a few in the past and most need a load on the 5v line to turn on and maintain 12v. Best I have found is to use a large 50w 4.7R metal cased resistor, but they do work well.
I am also using two 400w PSU wired in parallel (another mod? needed for that) to double the current to drive the stepper motors on my Home made CNC machine
Truebajan (1431 days)
Thanks for the guide, very clear and logical. Do I have to join the black from the same lines as I am charging from. Our can I just join the grey/green to the black on the same atx group of wires? I just don't want to cross over the black so its neater. Also, I am planning? on running a quad charger that says it needs 200w @20-30 amp. My psu is 400w i think it says 12v @ 20amps %) also is it safe to touch the crocodile clips when the system is on?
seasheppard1990 (1431 days)
Hello everyone, i just did this with one of my power supplies and it powers up ok and then when i go to plug on my Triton 2 to the yellow and black leads it basically kills the power supply, shuts it off, and then i hear like a buzzing sound coming from the mother board within the power supply, am i doing something wrong? PLEASE HELP!!!!?
Guitarplar (1431 days)
Maybe you can help. I pulled the power supply out of my old HP tower. It works fine IN the tower so I know it's a good unit. I've read everything and watched everything I can and still can't get it to power up OUT of the tower. Dummy load on? the 5v rail, 12 v rail, black to green per industry standards. NOTHING. What am I doing wrong? This has a single row mother board plug, not the double row like your video. About ten across or there abouts.
Jakstr1981 (1431 days)

Most of them will have the 5v sense on a green wire. When the fan in back is off, it "should" be the only wire with power on it, but there may be another 5v in the motherboard connector that is live for PCI and USB power? while the machine is off.
While each wire may be capable of carrying 7-22 amps (wire gauge), most PC power supplies will only recommend a load of 75 watts at 12v each.
Done this for years to bench test car audio equipment. No issues yet.
Great job.

The producers of the Off-Broadway show Love, Loss, and What I Wore spent the past several weeks reviewing submissions from women around the country about their most memorable piece of clothing. Two lucky winners will have their monologue performed on the show's New York stage on Mother's Day, Sunday, May 8th.
We had a chance to catch up with the original two playwrights, sisters Nora and Delia Ephron, who, naturally, had something to say about their favorite pieces of clothing.
We love the show! So, we're dying to know…what's your most memorable piece of clothing and why?
Delia Ephron: My greatest emotional attachment -- the raspberry silk sweater I was wearing when I fell in love with my husband. Loved that sweater. A lacy weave, V neck. Loose and moved a bit on its own. I miss it right now. (I was so entranced in this candlelit restaurant, I didn't notice that my menu had caught fire, but fortunately not me and fortunately not the sweater.) I love that raspberry color so much, I am always looking for it, but perhaps I am also looking for the amazing feeling I had that night.
Nora Ephron: I used to buy the most wonderful dresses that Rudi Gernreich designed for Harmon Knitwear. They were the essence of the 1960's, short, adorable, form-fitting. Stripes, polka dots, bright colors. They fit me perfectly and they made me realize that my body, which I had always found fault with, was actually perfect for the clothes of the moment ... and for clothes in general. I loved those dresses. One of my favorites was on sale on Ebay recently for $1500 (at the time, they cost about $68) and I swear I almost bought it even though it wasn't my size and I would never have worn it.
The show has invited fan submissions for Mother's Day - why do you think so many mothers and daughters enjoy Love, Loss, and What I Wore together?
DE: A million reasons. Moms and daughters shop together -- Bonding, bonding, bonding. Nora always points out that choosing our clothes is one of the first things we get to do. When we can't choose what to eat or practically anything else we get to pick what we want to wear that morning. When we're teenagers, the battle to separate -- to make it absolutely clear that we are not our parents -- plays itself out in what we wear.. And our mothers are full of opinions -- of fashion dos and don'ts. Our mother always said, Never buy a red coat. I went right out and bought an orange one and a lime green one (which was the same as buying red if you know what i mean).
NE: When we were writing the show, we asked a lot of friends to tell us about their clothes, and of course they told us about their mothers. Mothers are the most important fact for women anyway, but you constantly connect (or fail to connect) with your mother over clothes. You connect and you separate. Your mother forbids you to wear stockings -- or she gives you your first pair. She gives you brilliant advice -- or she's all wrong and how could you possibly have listened to her?
DE: When we were very young, we had these identical outfits. Chinese mandarin collared shirts, ruffled skirts with midriff tops, black velvet dresses with lace around the collars, the matching bathing suits with terrycloth robes. Our mom was really into that, even though she wasn't into shopping. And she sent us off alone as soon as it was possible.
We saw men in the audience enjoying the monologues (the purse one is particularly hilarious), but why do you think men don't put sentimentality on their clothing?
DE: With men, it's love, loss and what I drove. Or they associate the major moments in their lives with music. Lots of men remember the music. Also I don't think men do that thing women do, which is reinvent themselves with clothing. Also, let's face it, women's clothes are a lot more fun.
NE: The show is funny, so men like it. And it's about women, and thankfully lots of men are actually interested in women. But clothes just don't have the emotional power for men they do for women.
The national tour kicks off in September in Chicago. Where else are you planning to take the lovely ladies?
NE: The plan is to take it across the country, although I don't think we've announced specific cities yet.
DE: It's actually played all over the world already! Canada, South America, France... I actually went to Australia for the show's opening at the Sydney Opera House earlier this year.
Your fans love you. So, it would be spectacular if you two performed in Love, Loss, and What I Wore? Agree?
DE: I can't act. Nora can sort of act.
NE: But only sort of.

Readers are much more sophisticated about astrology these days, yet the most common astrology oversimplifies. For this reason, astrology has lost some credibility. Human beings are complex; in-depth astrology always reflects a multifaceted individual.
A fully calculated astrology chart is what gives uniqueness to a personality. Very much unlike reading daily news astrology, when a birth chart is constructed, the all-around characteristics of a human being are explored.
The hieroglyphs are symbols seen within an astrology chart. What do they mean?
Astrology is an ancient art, and the original symbols are still used in contemporary horoscopes. Hieroglyphs are a type of shorthand that saves time, and space. With these shorthand symbols a lot of information makes its way to the wheel shaped form used by most astrologers.
Below is a brief rundown of what the planets actually signify in terms of personality. Hopefully this demonstrates some of the complexity covered in an authentic astrology reading. Whether the chart is simply exploring the personality of the subject, or calculating trends, the astrology chart is a basic necessity for truly understanding who a person is.
What the planets represent in the personality:
Sun - soul
Moon – emotions, intuition
Venus – love nature of female expression
Mars – motivation; love nature of male expression
Mercury – communication, intelligence
Jupiter – growth and expansion (prosperity)
Saturn – stability through experiential knowledge
Uranus – quixotic changes, genius, electricity
Neptune– spirituality
Pluto – subconscious
House placement – arc shaped wedges divided like a pie
The house divisions function as an underlayment or environment for showing placement distributed as per location of the planets at the moment of birth. Wedge shaped areas describe overall characteristics that are either feminine or masculine, as most people have attributes of both genders. More opposites are contained in this framework, too. Hot or cold, moist or dry, fertile or barren polarities – the list goes on. These are comparable to an underpainting that an artist applies to a canvas working from general to specific.
The houses represent basic areas of life
For example, if you are a Leo, and your Leo sun sign falls into the fourth house, you are more of a homebody than most Leos, because the fourth house represents home and family life. If the sun sign is placed in the seventh house, you are a relationship person. Because the seventh house is Libra's home, this placement gives a tinge of the gentle Libra nature to a basic Leo archetype.
After all of the planets are placed on the wheel or the natal chart, the angles between the placements are calculated. If two planets are opposite each other, on the wheel, it is called an opposition. This means inner conflict that needs to be resolved. A triangle shape between signs is a smoother flow of energy adding ease to a person's life.
Triplicities and Quadruplicities indicate elements describing a certain facet of personality – Fire, Air, Earth, Water are descriptions of personality facets. Fire signs are enthusiastic; air goes to communicative ability; water sensitivity, and earth indicates stability.The other consideration is a description of Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. Cardinal shows administrative abilities. Fixed indicates someone who isn't too flexible. Mutable indicates flexibility.
An astrology chart goes a long way toward understanding a human being as an unfolding, unique individual.

How ironic is this?
When PC Gamer chose S&M2 as one of their top 10 games of 2004, they interviewed Mike S.
He said - jokingly - that they considered making an action game, a sports game and an RPG until Lucas Arts "showed us the sales figures for the first Sam & Max adventure game and told us to do another one"
What I don't quite understand is adventure games are no deader now than they were when this projected started. I could understand if they never even started making another adventure game, but why cancel it after working on one for over a year? If anything, Syberia and The Longest Journey have given the genre a boost. What gives?
Remember that in the last year and a half LucasArts did have a pretty big shuffle in upper management. I don't know if its the cause, but it very well could be. New president, new director of public relations, a lot of game designers quit, the company's overall art director "was asked to leave,"so surely there were shuffles in other areas, probably including the sales and marketing departments. And, given the current trends within LucasArts, I would suspect that most everyone new is of the same attitude of Sam & Max 2's cancellation press release: "All business, no good games."
Thanks, I had no idea about the changes - guess that really seals S&M2's fate.
So the only thing left of the Lucas Arts we knew and loved is the name of the company. Same thing happened with Bullfrog.
Maybe theyre just seeing how much people care if they cancel it or not?
Wasobi33 - Maybe theyre just seeing how much people care if they cancel it or not?
You wish, thats nothing more than a pipe dream. What good reasons do you have to back up that belief? NONE!!! Its just a leap of faith to belive that.
What's more ironic is that Full Throttle 2 was on that list last year.
mmmmmm.... pipedream.......
i wonder when they're gonna make another carrot top movie? i hope its after everything dies
like a fox
Re: How ironic is this?
"It's a chair"
"It's a table"
"It's a fan"
"It's a pen"
"It's a plant"
More productive than the constant "No point in going down there" of Syberia. And poor voice acting? Where the hell was the director of Komkolzgrad supposed to hail from?
I suspect the notorious Kelvin Cheema. Observe the voice section. On par. On. Par.
you think thats funny look at the stilt walker suit in hit the road during differnt stages of making a bigfoot suit

On Thursday, March 20th, AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA) celebrated at Bar St. Felix in Hollywood. This year will mark the 30th year of AIDS Walk Los Angeles. A great crowd came out to celebrate the extraordinary accomplishments of Team Being Alive and the other teams who took part at last years walk. Being Alive received the top honor for the Community Coalition Initiative award.
During the award show the top star walkers were given awards along with the top fundraising teams. The energy was electric and the room was packed. At one point, they introduced a man who has been a volunteer walker in every single AIDS Walk since the beginning. That man shed a few tears as he was handed his award.
Outside on the patio, photos were being taken of all the award winners. Some photos were being taken of students from Rutgers University to be used as promotional banners for the upcoming walk. These amazing students chose to spend their spring break interning at APLA. It's this type of dedication that creates lasting success for the AIDS Walk.
Over the past 30 years that success has translated into over $75 million! This event serves as a model of grassroots fundraising and community activism for organizations across the nation. The night also served as a kick off to get the energy started for this years round of fundraising and it did just that.

As Barack Obama poises himself to increase drug enforcement spending yet again, to 25.4 billion in 2014, many Americans are focused instead on the now effective legalization of recreational marijuana use in Colorado. The legislation was finalized earlier in 2013 and went into effect January 1st. While this milestone in the fight for marijuana legalization should be celebrated by all those concerned with personal freedom, it is important to remember the broader context in which this limited victory takes place.
After destroying countless families, ending thousands of lives, and shedding darkness and suffering across the landscape of Colorado by way of the obscenely fraudulent "war on drugs," the state's government now stands to gain over 10 percent of all marijuana profits through taxes. This comes after years of defrauding Colorado citizens out of millions under the excuse of fighting a plant the harmless nature of which the government's own studies have shown clearly for years. This is evidenced by the US government's 2003 purchase of patent # 6630507, which is "the use of cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants." In other words, during every corrupt court case, illegal home invasion, and cold blooded murder committed by police in the name of the war on drugs over the past decade, the US government didn't just know their war on marijuana was fraudulent, but went so far as to purchase patents setting themselves up to profit once this revelation became more widely known.
And after all this corruption and bloodshed, this same government, with audacity befitting medieval overlords, doesn't hesitate to claim their share in the profits from marijuana transactions, profits which are the direct result of the economic freedom this government has previously spent decades and fortunes trying to squander. The dominant/submissive theme of the war on drugs has managed to remain intact in Colorado for those intending to bypass retail stores and produce their own marijuana, with the government granting their subjects the freedom to grow only 6 marijuana plants. Grow a 7th and face up to 6 years in jail, just like the good old days. While progress is indeed being made, the control freaks and sociopaths responsible for the war on drugs in the first place remain firmly in positions of power. This is important to remember as the once seemingly impermeable facade of the drug war begins to show the slightest hints of cracking.

Day 177 & 178 Restarting Sort Of
Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Sunday night we ended up heading up north to see my father in law and mother in law. Remarkably he is looking and doing okay. Although he has such a large bruise on his legs due to the stents that we were worried and took him to the doctor yesterday morning, whom sent him to have it ultrasound or what not at the hospital that afternoon just to be sure it's just bruising typical of someone his age. Never hurts to make sure. So pretty much most of the day was shot from visiting into making sure he is alright. He is in good spirits and stubborn about the doctors orders but that's alright. Which is fine by me, but with kids already missing the day of school to be with grandpa, and we planned on heading back late last night, we ended up leaving there early because of the driving conditions ahead of us. Which is a bummer. We still didn't get officially home until about 10 last night after stopping for picking up some Easter outfits for the kids. Which I have found out, if you are looking for girls, watch out for the dresses, most of them aren't even past their butt on length or mid thigh if your lucky. Way to short for anyone under 18 years old. Told the girls they might have to wear last years, because I don't even know if I can find any the appropriate length for them this year. And the ones for toddlers, look like clown outfits. UGH! So I don't know what to do yet with that. I know our plan is to have a small egg hunt on Saturday with family and friends if they are able to come out.
Then I realized I never logged on yesterday so my sparkstreaks on here are starting all over, was on like 109 days or something like that logging in and everything. But we were wiped out last night. My eating wasn't all that great either, but I know I got the whole week to make that up and just pay attention. The most important thing was the family time we did manage to get in with them. I was just so happy to see them especially him, he reminds me so much of my dad and my grandpa. So anyways, back to square one on here, but I did manage to get some walking in at the hospital yesterday, we accidentally all parked on the total opposite end of a very large hospital lol we had quite the walk. So I got in probably about 2 miles worth of walking all said and done. Not a ton of exercise but at least it wasn't totally sedentary. So here's to restarting the spark streaks, and keeping my other streaks going strong.
Goals for Today:
Hang drywall
Treadmill 5% incline 30-60 minutes
Play with my youngest daughter
Clean my house
Push ups, planks, sit ups, wall push ups, dumbbell exercises, etc (as many as I can)
Walking DVD 15-60 minutes
Kickbox Video 10-30 minutes
Time for Me minimum 15 minutes
Eat healthy and Be happy
