Ethan Williams, left, and CJ Paxton work on perfecting wrestling holds and takedowns during practice on Tuesday. Both will be wrestling on Saturday at the Far West League district wrestling tournament. The Pilot/Jef Hatch
The noise levels during wrestling practice in the Gibney Center on the Brookings-Harbor High School campus have dropped significantly since the season began in early December, and not just because the number of attendees has dropped.
No, the reason for the quiet practice is because the levels of focus and dedication have gone up as the team prepares for the Far West League district wrestling tournament on Saturday.
"They've all got individual goals to meet," BHHS wrestling Head Coach Dave Freeman said. "They've got legit goals to place at least fourth and make it to regionals."
With the new OSAA state tournament format that was introduced in 2010, the district tournament not only offers the opportunity for bragging rights, but placing in the top four wrestlers garners a wrestler a trip to the regional tournament and a chance to advance to the state tourney.
"They are really focused," assistant coach Ramón Nuñez said. "Not supposed to be learning a lot of new stuff, just drilling and getting ready."
The team, which began with more than 25 wrestlers, has been winnowed down to just 10, but they are a dedicated bunch.
"From beginning until now are two totally different teams," Nuñez said. "I hope that they can achieve what they want to do."
The district tournament officially begins Saturday morning at 9 a.m., but for most of the Bruin wrestlers preparation is under way.
According to junior CJ Paxton, making weight is a big issue for all wrestlers unless they are wrestling up a weight class, and they use a high tech scale to keep an eye on their weight.
"I really want some Mountain Dew," Paxton said. "I know I can't have it, but I can still taste it in the water."
Paxton is wrestling competitively for the first time in four weeks but feels ready for the tournament.
"I've been working hard to get ready," he said.
Teammate Anthony Peterson is in the same boat, having not wrestled for more than five weeks after suffering a knee injury, but is excited to come back.
"I just want to wrestle," Peterson said when asked why he would come back with only the district tournament guaranteed.
"I've got passion, and I'm committed to the sport," he said. "It just makes sense that I would come back."
Of the 10 wrestlers headed to districts, all have a chance to qualify for the regional tournament. For some, the road will be a little bumpier than for others.
"Sam (Strom) just has to win one match in order to qualify for regionals," Freeman said. "He only has five kids in his bracket. He has a chance; he's really gotten better since he decided to start working hard."
Christian Hooper, wrestling at 152 pounds, will have to take the high road as he will have to win three matches to make it to regionals.
"I'm pretty sure that everyone that wrestles wants to be a champion," Hooper said. "I just can't put it into words what it would mean to be first.
"It would feel good."
Tyler Marrington takes a surprising second-seed ranking into a first-round bye in the same class as Hooper and should qualify for the regional tournament with relative ease.
Cole Hannan is seeded first in the 138-pound bracket and is favored to win the tournament. The only question on wrestling fans' minds is whether or not he will pin every opponent in the first round.
Brandon Holteen will start off the first round of the tournament in the 145-pound bracket with a bye, due to his second seeding.
Peterson will wrestle in the same class and will have a chance to wrestle his teammate in the finals if he can get past the first-seeded Gary Jansma of North Bend.
Adan Branbilla, 120 pounds, will face Brandon Rodriguez of Sutherlin in his first match and, if he can wrestle like he did in his season-opening match against Douglas, stands a chance of qualifying for regionals.
Ethan Williams, wrestling at 160-pounds, will have a first-round bye before having to face Aaron Wagner of North Bend in the second round.
Paxton will also ride a first-round bye into the second round where he will face Chance Wimberly of Douglas in the second round.
The lone senior on the team, Isaac Sanders, 220, grabbed a surprising second seed, and will face Colton Campbell of Siuslaw in the first round. Sanders' only real test of the tournament should come in the finals when he will most likely face Sonny Tupua of Siuslaw.
While the team has little chance of winning a team title, Freeman is excited for each of his wrestlers to do the best they can and achieve their own personal goals.
"We're gonna go out and have fun, and let the wrestling take care of itself," he said. "Then, we are going to start building for next year."

Unfortunately, most people will remember Russell Johnson as the handsome professor of the TV show "Gilligan's Island" who always seemed a bit flummoxed around sexy starlet Ginger.
Unfortunate, only because he had many more dimensions to his life—and his career.
He always appreciated that I knew some of his great B-movie sci-fi classics, like "Attack of the Crab Monsters," "This Island Earth" and "It Came from Outer Space."
But, I also knew him as an avid AIDS activist. He was involved in charity events when I met him in the early 1990s, before his son David died of the disease in 1994. I also met the actor many times after his son's death at charity events, and one time with actress Beverly Garland at the hotel named after her in Studio City, Calif. "Gilligan's Island" was shot in Studio City too, at the CBS Radford Studios lot and a piece of the lagoon still remains.
Garland and Johnson co-starred in a Western called "The Saga of Hemp Brown," also starring Rory Calhoun. Garland was a circus performer in that one. At the hotel, they posed in front of a poster of the movie that had both of their names on it.
Garland and Johnson were also in some old "Twilight Zone" episodes, too. Johnson plays a professor in both of them (good training for his upcoming TV role), and both involve time travel. "Back There" is most memorable because he plays a professor who finds himself back in history on the day that Abraham Lincoln is assassinated. In "Execution," Johnson plays a professor who brings back a man from the past who was about to be hanged for murder.
Johnson was great at playing the heavy, and a creepy guy, not at all similar to the likable professor he is most noted for portraying on TV. One of his kitschiest movies was "The Space Children," which was spoofed in a Mystery Science Theater 3000 season and is about a disembodied brain from space that communicates telepathically with the children of scientists that are staging a nuclear war. The brain is in cahoots with the children stop the nuclear annihilation.
Johnson also starred with Ronald Reagan in 1953 in the Western "Law and Order" and also appeared in the Westerns "Ride Clear of Diablo" and "Seminole."
But, he always appreciated someone knowing that he fought the Metalunians in the ambitious "This Island Earth." (He once again plays a professor, who is killed by the aliens when their car is attacked.)
Johnson died in Washington at the age of 89 of kidney failure.
Johnson long ago made peace with the fact that he would always be loved and remembered for his role as the Professor (and before that "and the rest" in the opening title song), but do yourself a favor and check out some of his other works, too. They're all on Netflix.

There was plenty of grumbling from Seahawks fans far and wide this week when the NFL schedule revealed that (1) Seattle would host only one prime-time game, (2) they didn't even get the maximum five nationally televised night contests, (3) they are among the first set of byes in Week 4, (4) they don't play the 49ers until Week 13, (5) they play the Niners twice in 17 days and (6) they finish with five rugged division games in the final six weeks.
But, hey, at least the Hawks avoided the dreaded three-game "road trip" -- as explained by Peter King at MMQBSI.com.
To pile on to all of those oddities and perceived slights, word emerged that the NFL was wary of sending teams to Seattle for prime-time games because Pete Carroll's dominant home team does not make for good national TV.
The Seahawks are 7-0 in night games in Seattle under Carroll, and six have been double-digit wins (the notorious 14-12 Monday night win over Green Bay in 2012 is the lone exception).
It's unusual for the Super Bowl champs to host just one night game. Last year, the Baltimore Ravens were in an odd spot when they had to play the opener on the road due to a conflict with the Orioles; they ended up hosting just one prime-time game because of that. But most reigning champions get to host two or three spotlight games the next season.
On Ross Tucker's podcast, Michael North, NFL senior director of broadcasting, admitted that Seattle's home dominance did factor into the lack of prime-time games in Seattle.
"This project is part art and part science. Somebody's gotta be the artist. Somebody's gotta pick which game they think makes sense for prime time," he said. "For (lead schedule maker) Howard Katz to look at the Seahawks' schedule and think to himself, 'Oh, I'm wary of that particular game in a national window where it could be noncompetitive,' does it enter into his thought process? Absolutely."
North said they didn't outright eliminate Seattle from consideration, though.
"You don't necessarily want to tell the computer, 'Hey, under absolutely no circumstances will we play a prime-time game in Seattle this year because we don't think anybody can go in there and play with them,'" he said. "First of all, that's crazy. Arizona went in there and beat them last year. Tampa Bay went in there and had them on the ropes (21-0 before Seattle rallied to win 27-24 in overtime). … So, to think that nobody can go into Seattle and play with them is not necessarily accurate."
North said they considered putting the Thanksgiving game between the 49ers and Seahawks in Seattle.
"We absolutely considered Thanksgiving night in Seattle," he said. "We looked at schedules with that game in Seattle instead of San Fran. Just didn't end up being our best one."
That was the only night the 49ers could host any prime-time games next season due to agreements with the city of Santa Clara to not play any night games on non-holidays in their first season at Levi's Stadium.
Of course, that wouldn't have precluded the Hawks from hosting the 49ers on another night. But perhaps the 29-3 wipeout on Sunday night in Week 2 of 2013 did.
North also said they considered having the Arizona Cardinals go to Seattle for Sunday night football "right up to the last minute." But they had the Hawks go to Arizona instead.
In the end, they chose to let CBS and FOX pretty much have the Seahawks' home games for national doubleheaders. North argued that the Hawks are not being marginalized because they play five national afternoon games (they did avert a 10 a.m. start in Philly because of that).
"I understand the disappointment about not having (home games) in prime time," North said, "but to think we're wary of not having them at home on national television (is) clearly not the case, because look at all of the Seattle home games that are in the national doubleheader window on CBS and FOX (1:25 PT).
"That's our highest-rated window; 4:25 Eastern time on Sunday is when more fans than at any other time watch NFL football. You've got Dallas at Seattle, you've got Denver at Seattle, you've got Giants at Seattle, you've got San Fran at Seattle. Those are all going to be essentially nationally televised games.
"If we were that wary of somebody being able to go into Seattle and play with them, we wouldn't have committed so much of what really amounts to our most viewed window … to Seahawks home games" North said. "They're the Super Bowl champs. Somebody's going to have to go in and play with them at some point, whether they do it on Sunday afternoon or Sunday night or Monday night. It's all going to even out over the next few years."
As for the season opener, the NFL didn't even consider a Super Bowl rematch with the Broncos -- not after that uncompetitive 43-8 dismantling in New York.
"We thought there were three likely possibilities for the opener: San Francisco, Denver and Green Bay," Katz told King. "I guess we could've played Dallas, but we really liked Dallas for the FOX doubleheader for Week 1. Dallas also had Texas Rangers conflicts the first month of the season. Putting them on the road in Week 1 might have doomed them for four or five road games in the first few weeks. I thought we had a better place to use the San Francisco-Seattle game, because it has become such an incredibly great rivalry game. It seemed to us that saving that game for later in the season on NBC was probably a smarter move. Green Bay felt right (for the opener)."
That debunks the thought that FOX and CBS "protected" the San Francisco and Denver games for their audiences, as John Clayton posited on 710 ESPN radio Thursday.
The fact is networks cannot protect what they don't have, so that is not possible before the schedule even comes out. The protection rule pertains only to flex scheduling. The networks can protect five games each during the season from being flexed to Sunday night.
The Hawks still might end up playing a fifth night game due to the flex -- although now FOX and CBS do have the right to keep any of their good matchups from going prime time.
So, it looks like the Hawks will have to blow out all of their home opponents during the day next season.

Comment – May 22, 2013
there is so much deceitfulness in this company. Office managers including HR tell you one thing, then change or take back what they said to fit into their agenda. No moral compass here.
Comment – June 28, 2013
Worked here for a month. Manager are all related to each other. They give themselves special treatment, everyone else gets lectured/treated like slaves. Turnover is very high. I had enough after 1 month and never went back..too many bad stories about managers to count. Just stay away from this place..it really sucks.
Comment – April 25, 2013
its only because Houston has looked into complaints, higher ups in front office are running scared and on their best behavior now. Nothing but polite now! About time! Fifth manager in one year!
Comment – April 30, 2013
yes, the manager is doing well. He's the 5th person that's been offered the job in less than a year. The difference is apparently is upper management is finally behaving themselves and letting us work the warehouse with constant interference. Its only because Houston head office finally got involved and addresseed all the complaints from staff about their poor treatment of employees. Turnover is still very high. Wait and see what happens.
Comment – May 1, 2013
I am pretty sure this is HR trying to make the company look better. I currently work here (trying to find another job) and NO ONE feels that way. It is the most miserable place I have ever worked and the upper management is being SO fake. They really dont care about you but are concerned for their own job only. TERRIBLE management, TERRIBLE atmosphere. Run run away.
Comment – June 14, 2013
Someone in the front office wrote the main comment, that I know for sure. The current ruling FAMILY [mgt] are so full of it, with fake promises, promotions, raises, advancement...the only reality is covering things up, not fulfilling obligations to staff and putting staff at risk with poor equipment and work loads. A lot of dirty works under the surface. Look elsewhere.
Comment – July 17, 2013
Don't think your new manager would be happy to see the company has placed an annonomous ad for a new warehouse manager, 6th one in a year. Below is a quote from the ad. They aren't fooling anyone. Everyone knows what these two are up too. Its just the way they are. Stay clear of this place. Under the direction of the Operations Manager/General Manager

By Rumer Cantrell, SDA Media Relations
TEMPE, Ariz.- Ralph Rosso, who served as Western Michigan University's assistant coach for one season, was named assistant gymnastics coach at Arizona State, head gymnastics coach René Lyst announced Thursday.
Prior to his position at WMU, Rosso served as the manager of the women's gymnastics team at the University of Arkansas where he worked alongside Lyst while completing a master's degree.
"We are excited to announce Ralph as our assistant coach," said Lyst. "He has a strong background in the sport and has been a part of collegiate programs at all levels including a National Championship. Having previously worked with Ralph at Arkansas, I know he will be an immediate asset to the program."
While at Arkansas, Rosso was responsible for equipment management, as well as spotting during skills and drills. He also devoted time coaching numerous gymnastics camps and club gyms during his time on staff. In 2012, the Razorbacks placed sixth in the country, and in 2013 the team placed 10th at the NCAA Championships, producing five All-Americans and an SEC gymnast of the year.
During his time on the men's gymnastics team at Michigan, Rosso lettered from 2006-09 and helped the Wolverines win the Big Ten title in 2009. He competed in four Big Ten Championships and four NCAA Championships. In 2007, Rosso was a still rings event finalist at the NCAA Championship where he placed ninth. He advanced to the individual finals at the Big 10 Championships twice in 2007, on pommel horse and still rings and again in 2009, on floor exercise and still rings.
While coaching last season at WMU, the team had a 5-14 record and achieved a season-high score of 195.075 against UIC back in March.

Roasted Asparagus Tart
from Elizabeth Barbone
Be sure to trim the tough ends of the asparagus. You don't want any tough pieces in the baked tart.--Elizabeth Barbone
(Serves Four to Six)
For the Crust:
Not gluten-free? Use a traditional wheat based tart shell or pie crust.
1 cup (5 ounces) white rice flour
3/4 cup (1 1/2 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup (1 1/4 ounces) sweet rice flour
1/4 cup (1 ounce) tapioca starch
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 ounces (1/2 stick) butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1 large egg
1/4 cup (2 ounces) ice water
For the Filling
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces, about 3 cups
2 teaspoons olive oil
5 large eggs
1/2 cup half and half
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup (about 1 ounce) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
For the crust: In bowl of food processor, combine white rice flour, cheese, tapioca starch, sweet rice flour, and salt. Pulse to combine. Stop food processor. Add butter. Pulse until no large pieces remain. Whisk together water and egg. Add egg mixture. Run food processor until a dough ball forms.
Lightly spray a 11-inch tart pan with cooking spray. Pinch off one-tablespoon pieces of dough. Place dough balls, about 1/2 inch apart, around edge of pan. Place remaining dough balls into center of pan, also spaced about 1/2-inch apart. Using your hand, press dough into bottom of pan. Then press dough around edge to form a crust. Use a measuring cup to press dough firmly into pan. Trim excess dough from edges using a sharp knife. Prick bottom of dough with fork.
Lightly cover pan with plastic wrap and freeze tart for 45 minutes. While tart chills, adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 400°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss asparagus together with olive oil. When oven has preheated, roast for until bright green, about 7 minutes.
Remove asparagus from oven and allow to cool. Remove plastic wrap from tart shell and bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. In medium bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, and black pepper. Place baked tart shell on rimmed baking sheet. Evenly sprinkle roasted asparagus in bottom of pan. Top with remaining cheese. Pour egg mixture into pan. Bake until filling sets, about 20 minutes.
Remove and allow tart to cook for five minutes before serving. Store leftover tart in refrigerator.

A movement to boycott HGTV has begun in response to the cancellation of "Flip it Forward," a program featuring twin Christian brothers who oppose abortion and homosexuality. At least three Facebook pages calling for a boycott were started on Thursday, in addition to an online petition calling for a boycott of the network and a separate campaign demanding HGTV reverse its decision.
"HGTV is dropping a much anticipated show for two brothers who are Christians and show their faith," the petition says. "They have spoken and shared what the Word of God says and now, after militant homosexuals and LGBTQ extremists threats and protests, HGTV dropped their show. Coincidence? We think not. Please boycott HGTV and write them to let them know that you disagree with their erroneous decision."
The petition asks supporters to refrain from hateful rhetoric or threats. Those who wish to contact HGTV are encouraged to give "just a simple request that HGTV do the right thing or lose viewership."
An administrator of one Facebook page started Thursday said the social media site has already banned him from sharing the page. The owner of another Facebook page said "this is one Christian" who is tired of seeing fellow Christians mocked while others do nothing.
"This is ridiculous," one person commented on a third Facebook page started Thursday. "I'm a pretty tolerant and open-minded person, but I am so sick of the gay and lesbian community making it their personal mission to ruin anyone who's (sic) views are unlike their own."
On Thursday, an article at the International Business Times said a group called Faith Driven Consumer has launched a "Flip this Decision" campaign on Twitter, using the hashtag "#FlipThisDecision." According to IBT, the campaign is an effort to encourage Christians to pressure HGTV into reinstating the program. The campaign also includes a petition that says the network's decision stands in stark contrast to its stated core values. As ot this writing, that petition has over 4,300 signatures.
According to the petition, the network emphasizes "having a strong moral compass which points to character, honesty, ethical practice and accountability" and hold that all are included in the "broad canvas of interests, backgrounds, lifestyles and ethnicities."
"While some members of the pro-choice and LGBT communities may not agree with the biblical view on these particular issues, the notion that free-thinking Americans should be discriminated against simply for expressing a perspective that is in conflict with another is patently un-American and flies in the face of true tolerance and inclusiveness," the petition adds.
In a press release, the organization said the Benhams are "well-qualified" and "respected" members of their community. HGTV's action, founder Chris Stone said, amounts to discrimination and bullying.
"HGTV's rash actions hold no place in America's rainbow of diversity," he added. "Whether people agree or disagree with the Beham's faith-driven perspective is beside the point; the Benhams have a right to have those views and to be treated equally with those who hold to other viewpoints. This is the very definition of tolerance."
HGTV decided to drop the show after a report put out by the liberal Right Wing Watch that noted the brothers' Christiam activism against abortion and homosexuality. The report also revealed the brothers engaged in a prayer rally outside the 2012 DNC convention.
The Benhams responded Thursday, saying they were "saddened" by HGTV's decision.
"The first and last thought on our minds as we begin and end each day is; have we shined Christ's light today? Our faith is the fundamental calling in our lives, and the centerpiece of who we are. As Christians we are called to love our fellow man. Anyone who suggests that we hate homosexuals or people of other faiths is either misinformed or lying," they said. "Over the last decade, we've sold thousands of homes with the guiding principle of producing value and breathing life into each family that has crossed our path, and we do not, nor will we ever discriminate against people who do not share our views."
"We were saddened to hear HGTV's decision," they added. "With all of the grotesque things that can be seen and heard on television today you would think there would be room for two twin brothers who are faithful to our families, committed to biblical principles, and dedicated professionals. If our faith costs us a television show then so be it."

How about this one?
I would send them a pick too if I had to.
How about this one?
I would send them a pick too if I had to.
"I'm a moron for thinking the Browns could even sniff 10 wins in a division where the other three teams (two of whom almost always make the playoffs) made the post-season last year. Gyp Rosetti's thee God of football knowledge." - Brown Notes
Washingtons gm would ***** in your face if you proposed that trade.
I think possibility of this trade to happen is very likely. Eric Bledsoe had been the target for most of the trade ideas on this board. I think LAC get enough of Odom, they have a good team and want to make a deep playoff run this year (win now team) and Odom is not helping this at all and they could discard Bledsoe to get rid of Odom. So get it done KOC.
I think it is the best trade idea I've seen on this forum. It's possible but I would look to ship Millsap before Jeff.

anti-cakk bakking... from the outset. #cakks&pies
3-wing lineups: NO COMMENT. Jazz need to make a trade: YES
OFFSEASON ACQUISITION TARGET: KENT BAZEMORE (take 2)
me .. me ... me .. my turn!!
If Lakers really want to improve they will do this.
Bulls just want to let go of Boozer and Deng.
Raptors just want to get some wins - chances are higher with Gasol and Rip compared to Bargnani and Calderon.
Jazz .. just want to say bye bye to Al, getting Okur 2.0 and Jazz killers (you know how the Jazz want to get players who earns career highs against them. True story.)
almost similar trade. same reasons.
plus Jazz gets a PG prospect. but on the downside long contracts for Bargnani and Deng ... also this will help Lakers' chances in making some noise during playoffs (i truly believe if they don't trade somebody, they will be meh!)

Describe a basis for the vector space of symmetric n x n matrices. What is the dimension of this space?

closed as off-topic by Did, Siminore, Ivo Terek, Claude Leibovici, Carl Mummert Sep 22 '14 at 10:30
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
HINT: If you know all of the elements on and above the diagonal of a symmetric matrix, you know the whole matrix. How many elements are there on or above the diagonal of an $n\times n$ matrix?
Added: I can see that you're having trouble getting a handle on the vector space in question; perhaps this will help. Let $S_n$ be the space of $n\times n$ symmetric matrices. In the simplest case that isn't completely trivial, $n=2$, the elements of $S_2$ are matrices of the form $$\pmatrix{a&b\\b&c}\;.$$ Vector addition in $S_2$ is just ordinary matrix addition: $$\pmatrix{a_1&b_1\\b_1&c_1}+\pmatrix{a_2&b_2\\b_2&c_2}=\pmatrix{a_1+a_2&b_1+b_2\\b_1+b_2&c_1+c_2}\;.$$ Note that the result of this addition is still symmetric, so it really is in $S_2$. If it weren't, $S_2$ wouldn't be closed under addition and therefore wouldn't be a vector space after all.
Scalar multiplication in $S_2$ is ordinary multiplication of a matrix by a scalar: $$\alpha\pmatrix{a&b\\b&c}=\pmatrix{\alpha a&\alpha b\\\alpha b&\alpha c}\;,$$ and again all's well, since the result is still in $S_2$.
Here's a simple exercise to help you get more accustomed to working with this vector space.
If $A$ is a symmetric $n\times n$ matrix, then $A$ has the form $$ \begin{bmatrix} * \ & a_1 & a_2 & \cdots & a_k \\ a_1 & * \ & a_3 \\ a_2 & a_3 & * \ \\ \vdots & & & \ddots & \\ \\ a_k & & & & * \ \end{bmatrix} $$ where the $*$ entries are whatever you like them to be. You can see that we have $a_{ij}=a_{ji}$.
From this form you can see that we need $n$ elements in the basis to span the diagonal entries. For the remaining $n(n-1)$ entries, we need exactly $\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)$ elements in the basis to in order to span those entries (due to the fact that $a_{ij}=a_{ji}$). This gives a basis with $\frac{1}{2}n(n+1)$ elements.
Define $T_{ij}$ to be the matrix with $(T_{ij})_{ij}=1$ and all other entries equal to $0$. Then define $$ M_{ij} = T_{ij}+T_{ij}^\text t $$ where $i$ and $j$ range over $1,2,\dots, n$. Then for a given $n\times n$ symmetric matrix $A$, we can write it as $$ A = \sum_{i=1}^n\sum_{j=1}^n \frac{1+\delta_{ij}}{2}(A)_{ij}M_{ij} $$ where $(A)_{ij}$ denotes the $(i,j)^\text{th}$ entry of the given matrix $A$. The $\frac{1+\delta_{ij}}{2}$ in the sum is to correct for the fact that $M_{ij}=M_{ji}$.
The collection of the distinct $M_{ij}$ will form a basis for the space of $n\times n$ symmetric matrices. Of course, this is not proof, but provides a way that you might express the basis.

Note: This is for those of you who are somewhat technically-savvy and have a clue as to what I'm referring to here. If you don't, I wouldn't attempt these instructions as they are somewhat involved and I don't have time to explain the details that are not in this post.
I just thought I'd share a workaround I found for playing Hulu Plus through the tv-out adapter on iOS devices such as iPhone and iPad with Apple's HDMI connector... should work on any iDevice, honestly. Those of you with jail-broken iPhones and the right software can probably even make this work on older devices/unsupported output cables.
Why am I posting this? Because when Hulu updated to 2.3 they removed a feature that already existed: tv-out. This is probably related to some backwards licensing agreement that helps pay lawyers while being unhelpful for everyone else. Either way, the fact is that you can already output from your computer to your television... so theoretically, this isn't much different
Now, for getting around this restriction (when you hook up a tv-adapter while playing Hulu a message pops up on screen instead of your video letting you know it's not supported), just follow these instructions:
1. Launch Hulu and select a video... leave Hulu and perform following steps...
2. Get filesystem access to your device... this is outside the scope of these instructions. There are numerous different ways to accomplish this. You don't need to write to disk either, all you need is to be able to read the file in step #4.
3. Browse to the /var/mobile/Applications/[some unique identifier for your hulu app]/tmp/MediaCache/ folder.
4. Open diskcacherepository.plist using a text editor, or optionally a plist editor and copy/paste the last URL (as you click on additional videos, they are added below the previous ones, if my observation is correct) in the middle of the XML/plist code from the file into Safari. You'll need the entire string between the <key> and </key> tags.
5. After pasting into mobile Safari, hit enter and Quicktime will launch to play the file normally. You can click to expand the video if you have it connected to a tv and it will switch to TV-output mode.

I just read a fascinating book: Rumors of Another World by Phillip Yancey. I've read other works of his in the past. He is an interesting soul with some unique viewpoints of life and religion. Within its 244 pages, I found a lot of nuggets including the quote below from Michelangelo.
So now from this mad passion
Which made me take art for an idol and a king
I have learnt the burden of error that it bore.
And what misfortune springs from man's desires.
The world's frivolities have robbed me of the time.
That I was given for reflecting upon God.
I'm an author and a filmmaker of Christian materials. My daily work brings me into contact with creative types from both media. I get the impression from many of them that despite the fact that their lips speak of working for God, the primary motivation for their efforts appear to be personal in nature. Face it, folks. There is great glory to be obtained by being a figure in the public eye. And lucrative financial blessings can follow. Not many can withstand the challenge of success. Human nature craves recognition and acceptance.
Both of those things also appeal to secular film makers. Thus there is inbuilt conflict of interest for those seeking to serve the Savior through media. The temptation is great to let that art become an idol as Michelangelo pointed out so many years ago. Even if Christian film makers don't get caught up in the ego trip trap, they might start to glorify the art of movie making. For some reason the world gets the notion that things pertaining to God have to be opulent and flashy. God's dealings with the world seem to usually not employ those hype techniques. He seems to take delight in confounding the worldly wise things and people of the world with the simple and imperfect. Ironically, for some of those film makers who stress striving for quality of production facets of films, a suggestion that they live a life of highest quality leads to protests using the words legalism, grace, and judgmental.
Entertainment can serve as an idol for both producer and consumer. Check out this essay by Franklin Graham. http://billygraham.org/decision-magazine/april-2014/hollywood-entertaining-ourselves-to-death/
We've become a world obsessed by entertainment whether it is media related or golf or cruises or mountain climbing or whatever. And while we're off enjoying our leisure time and excess financial resources, who is taking care of the widows and orphans, as described in the Bible as pure religion? Christian movie makers need to produce films that educate believers in their faith and exhort them to become disciples at the same time they provide entertainment. And film viewers need to support them in their efforts - but not put them on any kind of pedestal.

Dear Mr. Charles Koch,
I read your recent USA Today op-ed with some interest, since you and your brother have been built up into mythical monsters in the political landscape. Instead of reading about you, I was ready hear who you really are from the horse's mouth.
What I learned is, your reputation is well-earned. You have been painted in the media as a self-centered elitist plutocrat. And that's apparently exactly what you are.
It's pretty obvious that the purpose of your op-ed was to undermine the substantial job growth and corresponding drop in the unemployment rate that we have seen in recent months. Now that your side can't whine, "Where are the jobs?' you must find a new attack: that the new jobs being created in the current recovery aren't full-time jobs and, hence, don't count.
First, you set out to frame your argument with government employment data. But as Michael Hiltzik noted in his brilliant Los Angeles Times piece deconstructing yours, you cherry pick the data to manipulate the inferences, creating false realities.
In one example, you quote the surge in part-time jobs in June as proof that the economy is no longer creating good jobs. But as Hlitzik points out, the choice of June as a representative month is disingenuous at best. "Interestingly, neither Zuckerman nor Koch paused to ask why part-time workers might have surged in June--or why the part-time workforce aged 16 and older surges almost every June," Hiltzik wrote. "Could it be that the workforce is swelled by high school and college students starting their summer vacations?"
Hiltzik goes on to show that many of the other statistics you site are rigged to appear to show one thing while in reality they prove just the opposite. So right there it's obvious that your op-ed was more of a hatchet piece than a fair study of the current economy.
But for me, Mr. Koch, the most onerous lines in your piece were these:
When I was growing up, my father had me spend my free time working at unpleasant jobs. Most Americans understand that taking a job and sticking with it, no matter how unpleasant or low-paying, is a vital step toward the American dream.... There are no dead-end jobs.... It's time to let people seek opportunities that best suit their talents....
Then quoting Martin Luther King Jr., you added,
If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.'
Maybe in the Koch Brothers' world, anyone who's been laid off from a $90,000 a year office job and can't immediately land a similar position is best suited to be a minimum wage laborer.
Maybe in Charles Koch's world, there's no difference between a high school student's first job and an adult parent's next job.
Maybe in your world, a skilled professional in his 30s or 40s or 50s should take a job as a "street sweeper" or a McDonald's counterman instead of holding out for a job more befitting his age, professional status and skill level.
But in the world of real people who are struggling to reinvent themselves and salvage a career that has gone south, talk about street sweeper jobs is not a metaphor; that may be the only type of job that's available. But that doesn't mean they should take it. Because taking a low-paying menial job redefines you in the workforce, and that can be a blow to one's long-term career (and one's pride) that's worse than unemployment.
After all, who's going to want to hire an architectural engineer who spent the last three years as a grocery store produce clerk?
Yes, we'd all like to get people off unemployment benefits and food stamps as quickly as possible. But destroying someone's career prospects just to lower the deficit isn't a trade-off we have to make.
Mr. Koch, I'm sure there are millions of people who read your op-ed and agreed with your views. They're either ensconced in comfortable middle-class and upper-class jobs, comfortably retired, or they are happily toiling as the people who sweep your streets and serve your meals, and resentful of anyone who won't happily do the same.
But there are also millions who don't agree, and they aren't lazy parasites simply because they don't fit into either of those groups.
There are millions of people who've been laid off from a job that did suit their talents, but was robbed from them by a financial crash and shifting economy that were no fault of their own. The answer for them isn't to take a menial job that would drop them two social classes and sap their dignity just to fulfill your own ideals of work ethic and social responsibility. That may solve many of your problems, but it won't solve theirs.
One thing we do agree on, Mr. Koch, is that any job worth doing is worth doing well. There are probably millions of good, high-paying jobs that need doing in this country. Jobs in manufacturing, construction, education, health care, clean energy, science, and technology.
All you and your fellow corporate CEOs have to do is take the trillions of dollars you have on the sidelines and use it to create those jobs.
That's a job worth doing well.
In fact, I think that's a pretty good idea for your next op-ed. I look forward to reading it.

Yes, it's showtime, folks.
I've been busy in the photo studio lately, setting up food shots for our fab photographer Adam Finkle. In magazine-land, it's the end of summer - we're working on the July/August issue right now.
Years ago, about half my income came from food styling - I was always shlepping around half-cooked chickens to be torched in the studio, never left the house without a chef's knife, paintbrush and bottle of canola oil, and drove a car that smelled perpetually like spilled vinaigrette. Frankly, I hoped never to be back in the business again.
But that's not how the world works. Is it.
However, I got clever this time - we shot other people's food: a Black Market real boiled bagel with house-cured salmon and chive cream cheese, a giant sandwich including the best deli turkey ever and a platter of assorted mini-knishes from Ninth South Deli.
Have you been? The creation of Kathie Chadbourne, the deli is a thousand times cuter than any in NYC - the little house feels more like a tearoom than a deli - but it's got a lot more than charm going for it. At its soul is a big fat Reuben sandwich, chicken soup with matzo and genuine Cel-Ray soda. It doesn't get more authentic than that.And Chadbourne is still shopping - looking out for genuine deli food the likes of which have not been seen in the SLC. She knows her place though - every meal ends with a complimentary cube of green Jell-O.
Then we took a portrait of the chicken cacciatore - hunter's chicken - made by Vinto chef Robert Angellili. That's him, at the top, the mushroom man. Yes, of course, the cacciatore was full of wild mushrooms.
And a pic of butterscotch budini made by Amber Billingsley, Robert's wife and Salt Lake's sweet tooth queen. "Budini" is Italian for pudding and Amber's came with salted caramel sauce, whipped cream and hazelnut praline with hazelnut paraline sable cookies.
It was irresistable - I had a sweet potato knish for lunch right in the studio and tipped off by Robert and Amber, headed straight to Vinto for dinner for the night's specials: cacciatore (where do the hunters come up with those capers????)
and butterscotch budini, the night's special dessert. Oops, I forgot to snap it before I ate it. All. I hate it when that happens.

Yesterday we had a family meeting with our Neonatologist. He was basically discussing some of the boys remaining issues (Karson's love of the nasal cannula on 2 liter flow...lol and Kingston's PDA) and our plans on feeding. Up until this point I had stressed that I didn't want any artificial nipples (okay...so I gave in on the paci because when they were on CPAP it helped with the air escaping from their mouths). Well...now they are reaching 34 weeks and they have plans to up their feeds. The doctor said he's fine with breastfeeding once, twice and even three times a day...but after that he's starting to become concerned about them getting enough calories, vitamins and calcium due to their needs beyond what breast milk offers. Okay fine...I understand the need to suppliment with transitional formula in the NICU and even beyond. I understand that his best interest is the babies...but so is mine. With that said...here is my predicament: He wants them to come home on being supplimented four times a day.
First ~ Breastfeeding is very important to me...exclusively breastfeeding is even more important to me. I know that having a premature baby was no where in my plans...but they were born early and there's no changing that. BUT I am very anti-formula for many reasons. This is strictly my own views and in no way, shape or form do I ever push my views on anyone else or look down on anyones choices. Right now I am, at 7 weeks post-birth, still pumping 10 times a day and my boys have many, many ounces of breastmilk stored up. The only formula they get is the Human Milk Fortifier and Neosure added to their breastmilk. If I were to continue this at home for TWINS...I would need to either breastfeed one baby on one side and pump milk for the other on the other side and then feed him the milk I just pumped fortified with the formula and switch off babies on each feeding. OR I would need to breastfeed both babies for four feedings and then the other four feedings they would both need to be bottle fed, then I would need to pump. Either way, this still leaves me having to breastfeed, bottle feed, pump milk, AND wash AND sterilize bottles AND pump parts. With that all added up, there would be no time in between feedings and no time for my older two boys. We would literally be stuck at the house 24/7 for the first year (the amount of time he wants them supplimented for) if we chose to brestfeed. When I expressed this to the doctor, he said verbatim: "I have a mom whose preemie was born before yours were and she went home breastfeeding and supplimenting just fine." Uhhhummmm...excuse me??!?!?!? I let him know that he said preemie...not preemies...I have twins, this would be double that. For a singleton it would not have sounded as daunting...for twins...it's very overwhelming. Breastfeeding a preemie is difficult...pumping for a preemie is difficult...attempting to keep your milk supply up for a preemie is difficult...all moms who have done it deserve a gold star!! I'm trying to do that for my twins...but he is asking double of everything in order to suppliment and breastfeed.
Also...they now want to start letting them get bottles. I am so afraid of nipple confusion. I don't want them to have a bottle...at all...ever if possible. I told him I would sit there, literally, 24 hours a day and use the SNS to suppliment if I had to so they wouldn't have to have a bottle and a nipple. He said he didn't know if the nurses would feel comfortable with that because they wouldn't know how much the babies would eat. Okay...so them forcing them to finish a bottle filled with a required amount of breastmilk would be better?? How do they know that they aren't getting too much...or too little that way?? Just because they weigh a certain amount doesn't mean that is the correct amount of calories they need JUST because the concencus says so...all babies are not the same. And if they are getting their supplliment that you say they so desperately need AND are still gaining weight...isn't that a good way to judge that they are obviously getting enough.
His response to everything was basically no one plans to have a preemie and you need to be flexible in their care and with us because we're going to do what we want with them anyway. They claim to be so pro-breastfeeding and say that they want all their preemies breastfed for at least six months...BUT this is very uncondusive to that. He then said that he knows I'm going to do whatever I want when I get home and that they can't force me to suppliment...ummmm my babies best interest is my only concern, of course I don't want them to have weak bones and vitamin deficiencies so of course I'm going to do what I need to do in order to avoid that BUT why insinuate that I would ever do something to put my child at harm because I voice my concerns with formula and bottles. That frustrated me soooo much!
I'm so frustrated right now, I just want to say forget trying to breastfeed and just give them the formula already. I've put so much effort AND money (buying a hospital grade breastpump AND a Freestyle) because they insisted that it's what I needed to do this for the twins, but I can't make my family suffer and never leave the house in attempts to keep feeding them breastmilk (between breastfeeding, pumping, etc.). It takes soo much time to pump and sterilize breast pumps and freeze milk...if I can't breastfeed them anyway I don't know why I should even bother because my milk supply will eventually not be enough to keep up with twins only by pumping and they'll get formula anyway. I really want what's best for them...but am so torn between what I feel is right and what the doctors say needs to be done. Please tell me that there is some sort of liquid Calcium/Phosphorus/Vitamin suppliment that I could just give them orally instead of supplimenting with transitional formula. Or something....anything :*o( I've been searching online for any information on transitional formula...and can't even find much. My 25 weeker didn't even come home on supplimental formula...and I know it was 10 years ago but I'm just saying I'm at such a loss on this. I just want what's best for them...but I want to keep my sanity, too.

Football: Weekly Picks
Heading into the weekend, my college football record over the past two years combined is 110-85-4 for a net profit of 323 dimes (wins minus losses with juice included).
The NFL has been no different as I've kicked off the season by going 32-18-3 overall, including 26-13-2 on the first six Sundays — five of which have been winners. And I capped last weekend by hitting my third straight Monday Night 25 Dime release on the Giants!
But my success hasn't been limited to just football. In fact, I've won 20 of the past 29 weeks, all sports combined.
Before we get to this week's plays, one more reminder: The picks you're about to get are not always among the "premium" plays I release to my paying customers on the weekends. Now, at times throughout the season, some of them will in fact be the same. In fact, last week's free pick on the Browns was actually a huge 25-dime premium release on Sunday, and my winners here in the column on Kentucky and Missouri were both 5-dime premium releases on Saturday. No matter the case, always keep in mind that a lot can happen in those 48 to 96 hours before kickoff. Line moves, injuries, suspensions, weather, etc., all influence whether I upgrade or downgrade — or totally discard — the complimentary selections you read here each week.
Without further delay, let's get to this week's freebies:
Eagles minus 5 vs. BearsRegular readers of this column may recall that prior to this season I gave you five NFL teams to bet over or under their season's win total. One of my recommendations was to take the Bears "under" 10.5 wins.
In my analysis in that column, I told you that Rex Grossman would once again be a major disappointment. Check. I told you that the Bears would rue the day they let 1,000-yard rusher Thomas Jones walk out the door in favor Cedric Benson. Check. I told you Chicago's schedule would prove to be absolutely brutal. Check. And finally, I told you that this team has as much of a chance to win 11 games as Michael Vick does winning the SPCA's Humanitarian of the Year award.
Hey, what can I say? I'm good at what I do — that's why Hollywood made a movie about me.
In all seriousness, though, that forecast was about as difficult as predicting that the sun would rise tomorrow or the next Ben Affleck movie would flop like an NBA All-Star getting bumped in the low post. That said, I never thought things would be this bad in the Windy City.
After last week's 34-31 home loss to the Vikings, the banged-up Bears are now 2-4 straight up (SU) and 1-5 against the spread (ATS). And if not for Brett Favre and the Packers absolutely gift-wrapping a game for Chicago two weeks ago with a second-half fold, Da Bears would be 1-5 SU and 0-6 ATS. And it's not just their offense that's the problem anymore; the defense now ranks 27th in the 32-team league. Yikes!
