LOS ANGELES Singer and actress Barbra Streisand is hoping to get back behind the camera and direct her first movie in 16 years, but has yet to raise all the money for it.
Streisand's spokesman on Thursday confirmed reports that the "Funny Girl" actress wants to direct "Skinny and Cat," a love story about late writer Erskine Caldwell and his late wife, American photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White.
It would be Streisand's first directing project since "The Mirror Has Two Faces" in 1996, and Oscar-winning stars Colin Firth and Cate Blanchett are reportedly attached to play the leads.
Her spokesman said however that the project has not been given the go-ahead yet because of financing issues.
Streisand, 70, who made her directing debut in 1983 with "Yentl," told the Los Angeles Times last week it was proving hard to raise the $20 million financing for the film, which has a script written by Linda Yellen.
The actress is also working on a movie adaptation of the stage musical "Gypsy" in which she would star. Hollywood studio Universal Pictures said in March that "Downton Abbey" creator Julian Fellowes would adapt the Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents musical for the screen, but did not announce a director or a start date for filming.

Tied at 36 before the final match, the North Oldham Middle School wrestling team left its fate to an eighth grader.
Facing Union County, the chants of "Go John!" grew louder from 130-pound John Reitnauer's teammates in the third period.
Reitnauer said he used the chants as motivation, pulling out a 9-5 win that gave the Mustangs a first round win over four-time Union County.
NOMS took fourth place Jan. 28 at the middle school state wrestling duals at John Hardin Middle School in Elizabethtown, the state championships for wrestling teams.
At the high school state wrestling duals Saturday, Oldham County High School didn't fare nearly as well, failing to place among the 16 state finalists at Henry Clay High School in Lexington.
Before his first round match, Reitnauer said he hadn't wrestled under the pressure he'd faced against Union County before, but welcomed the challenge.
"I've heard it a million times from my parents and friends, that if you want something done right, you do it yourself," he said. "I'm just glad I was given the opportunity to do it."
After defeating Union County, the Mustangs also defeated Turkey Foot Middle School, before falling to eventual champion North Hardin in the semifinals and River City Wrestling's middle school team in the consolation finals.
"It's just a huge step for our program," NOMS coach Kyle Goldsmith said. "They wrestled with so much heart and just wrestled with a lot of enthusiasm."
At the high school state wrestling duals, OCHS struggled while wrestling short-handed. Five wrestlers missed the meet due to illness or injury.
OCHS senior Tyler Kaelin said the Colonels realized early at the meet they faced long odds at the meet.
"We still knew that individually, you need to wrestle your own match and do well, regardless of whether or not your team had the chance to excel if you had everyone," he said.
OCHS lost its matches to St. Xavier, Franklin County, Larue County and Fort Campbell. Union County took first place.

Not a direct replacement for 2001
2001 Toyota Tacoma
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
This antenna is not a direct replacement for the 2001 model and Crutchfield advised same. I modified to fit by using the top and bottom cone from the old antenna along with a custom made spacer. If you are handy this can save you the additional money to purchase the OEM part but you will spend an extra 30 minutes on the replacement.. The antenna worked great once installed

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
Pros: heated seats
Cons: gas milagethis car is utterly dependable, not particularly peppy but reliable and has plenty of space for dogs, gear and people.
Car Reviews
Pros: The sun roof, of course!
Cons: Slow accelerationI love my Subaru Forester. It is very comfortable and is great for hauling kids, groceries, furniture, oversize items from the hardware store and more. The oversize sun roof is really nice, too. I live in northern Canada and it is dark.... I can let in all the available light and this improves everyones mood when you spend your winters living in the dark. The only complaint that I have with the car is that it doesn't have a lot of get-up-an-go. The acceleration isn't what it could be. The vehicle is small enough that it should be able to have the extra power. However, the all wheel drive is a great feature in the northern climate. The car is also great in the extreme cold. It just starts right up and actually defrosts in a reasonable amount of time. Overall, it is a great car and gets great gas mileage!!
Car Reviews
Pros: Size and appearance
Cons: There is nothing that I can sayu I like leastThis is may second outback - I traded the 2003 with 140000 miles - It stil;l ran great but the trade value allowed me to get a great pricwe on a 2011. I also own an 06 Leagy GT Wagon and it has 80000 miles - I figure I'll keep it until it hits 200,000 miles GUESS WHAT - I got 33 miles per gallon on a trip from the Jersey Shore to Syracuse NY and back.
The best vehicle Ive had..
Pros: awd
Cons: seatsgreat awd vehicle out there.. I feel safe and its reliable for family or a single person..
Excellent all-around vehicle
Pros: Open feeling in a smaller vehicle with great moon roof.
Cons: Could have more spaceCould use more space for my personal usages but overall it meets a variety of needs well. Good winter car that allows for fun in the summer. I've been averaging 26-28 mpg over the life of the vehicle. Seats could have some extra padding.
Great car
Pros: all wheel drive
Cons: How low it sits to the groundNever had a problem with the car since I bout it!

Pros: 6 disc cd player

Blur to debut two new songs via live Twitter stream
Fans of Blur will be able to see new material from the Britpop band when they play live exclusivelyvia a feed on their official Twitter page.
The two tracks in question are Under The Westway and The Puritan, the first of which will be played at 6.15pm on Monday 2 July and the second at 7.15pm. Sandwiched in between the two performances will be an interview with the band held through Twitter, with fans able to ask their own question.
"People all over the world are connecting with the musicians they love on Twitter," said Tony Wang, UK GM of Twitter.
"Blur is taking this idea even further by debuting their new singles through a live stream and having a direct conversation with their fans on the platform. They know what their fans want and are setting the pace for the future of artist engagement online."
Both tracks have been specifically written for Blur's upcoming concert at Hyde Park on 12 August, though they'll also be available to download immediately after the live stream has concluded.
To find the link to the live video stream, fans should visit @blurofficial on Twitter before 6.15pm on Monday 2 July.

These rain events can be quite dramatic and appear like many inches have fallen from the sky. Unfortunately, most times this is not the case.

The synchronization club: classification of global economic groups by inequality
Abstract:We find that, from 1970 to 2006, the GDPs of 181 countries are described by a log-normal with a power law tail before 1992, but by a kinked power law distribution after 1992. In the 15 years from 1992 to 2006, there are two obvious scale-free zones for annual GDPs, ranked from the largest to smallest. If the countries in each scaling region are regarded as a group, the world is divided into two groups, each with a roughly stable number of members. The power exponents of the two groups are different and hence lead to different inequalities. Therefore, the basis for classification is the macro-consistent inequality within each group. The wealth grows in a synchronous nonlinear manner within groups that have a stable wealth distribution and rank structure. If each group is considered as a club, we name it a 'synchronization club'.

Kensington, a working-class neighborhood in Philadelphia, wasn't exactly the roughest, toughest part of town. Nobody's saying it was a posh haven for the well-to-do, but it also wasn't a place that demanded Eddie Alvarez grow up fighting -- at first.
For the most part, gritty Kensington was safe. Then, a slow metamorphosis got cooking. Gritty became something darker, nastier. Drugs slithered their way into the community. One dealer, then two, then whole blocks were infested. Race wars became more common and turf warriors tried to impose crude regulations and order in a vacuum where chaos and lawlessness reigned supreme.
Kensington turned into a neighborhood where, if you didn't move, you'd better become a fighter. Not necessarily with your fists but to capitulate to the atmosphere and not push back physically and mentally would mean that the town's negatives would seep into your character and play too large a part in your destiny.
Alvarez was destined to become a battler. In the streets, he'd take on any comer, square off, and get to work. His boxing skills, honed in street scraps and slap-boxing sessions with his pals, were respected in the hood. He'd never turn down an invite to go at it; sometimes he was the one pressing for a physical resolution to a disagreement.
When he was 11, though, one of those street beefs impacted him and made him rethink his path. It set Alvarez on the route he's on now, which is to becoming one of the very best lightweight mixed martial artists in the world.
Eddie was walking down the street, minding his own business, heading home from a hangout session with some pals. He saw two guys, who looked to be in their 20s, squaring up. Usually he'd stick around to watch the mayhem unfold. This time, an inner voice piped up.
This isn't going to end well.
Alvarez quickened his stride and bolted away from the two combatants as they began to throw down. Thirty seconds later he heard a couple of pops. He knew the sound, knew it wasn't someone lighting off a string of firecrackers. He knew the sound of sirens would be next. Sure enough, cop cars converged a couple hundred yards back where the two guys had been trading haymakers. Turns out one of the guys was packing a pistol. He pulled it out, blasted the other kid and ran. The victim was lying in the street with a hole in his torso. Eddie knew the guy, by reputation, and he knew that was his older brother cradling him, bawling, begging him to hold on, begging him not to die.
"He was dying," says the 25-year-old Alvarez. "I was 11. I knew then that in these situations, there was no clear winner. No matter who wins, it always ends up bad. Even if you won, maybe someone was gonna come back and off ya."
Eddie watched, substituting himself and his brother Lou, two years older than him, for the two men playing out the tragedy on the street. He saw himself with that hole in his gut, the red stain growing larger as his breaths grew shallower. He knew then that if he wanted to keep fighting, it would be better if he did it in a more controlled, structured atmosphere.
There were altercations and lapses in judgment on the way, sure, but Alvarez threw his heart into wrestling and boxing, and then into mixed martial arts. He tried the sweet science, but the gym he found, Front Street Gym, catered mostly to pros. So he found a home in MMA, at the Fight Factory, run by submission grappler Stephen Haigh. After less than a year of MMA immersion, he turned pro at 18.
College wasn't really an option after his parents moved to Florida. In December 2003 he knocked out Anthony Ladonna in a small New Jersey show. He went 10-0, all by stoppage, before dropping a fight to Nick Thompson in April 2007.
Alvarez peeled off another five wins but experienced a hiccup in his last outing (Dec. 31, 2008), against Shinya Aoki at a K-1 show in Japan.
Alvarez argues he went into the Aoki fight with a leg injury, and Aoki coincidentally targeted that weakened right leg with a heel hook.
Alvarez wants to keep his standing as one of the top five or 10 best lightweights in the world, with a win in his next scrap, which comes on the inaugural Bellator show on Friday, which will be at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Fla. Alvarez (15-2) takes on one of the best-known mixed martial artists in Ireland, underdog Greg Loughran (18-11), who is a carpenter by trade and works security at a Derry pub weekends to augment his earnings.
The Philly fighter is psyched to grow his rep in the U.S. after fighting his previous four matches in Japan.
"I'm ranked in the top three among lightweights in some polls," Alvarez said. "I feel that's correct. But this is my shot to show people in the U.S. what I have. I like the tournament format that Bellator has, and it is important to impress the Hispanic people here."
Bellator has a deal to show their events on ESPN Deportes, the day after the live event, and is counting on Alvarez to be one of their breakout stars. Bellator co-founder Bjorn Rebney, who previously ran Sugar Ray Leonard's boxing promotion, worked with Oscar De La Hoya early in the Golden Boy's career and saw the passion Hispanics have for their fight sports. Rebney feels Hispanics will take to Alvarez' skills, looks and finisher's instincts.
"Eddie is spectacularly well rounded," Rebney told ESPN.com. "When he gets off a plane in Japan, it's a big deal but in the U.S. he doesn't have that following yet."
A win Friday will go a long way to boosting Alvarez's recognition in the United States.
Michael Woods, the managing editor of TheSweetScience.com, has written for ESPN The Magazine, GQ and The New York Observer.

I was hoping to get in some practice rounds this weekend and I was wondering if we know what the pin placements are going to be. I realize that it won't be set but knowing the placements would allow for some practice time.
Thanks Bill

Global Warming, Tsunamis, and Michael Crichton's Big Blunder
Crichton makes what is arguably the most egregious scientific mistake ever made in the central plot point of a techno-thriller. The flak I received from Deniers over a recent post — and new research — inspired me to remind everyone that the best-selling author who has become a hero to Deniers — even bringing his trash talk against U.S. climate scientists to a Senate hearing — doesn't seem to know the first thing about global warming impacts.
I am not talking about the incessant misrepresentation of the science of global warming throughout his mistake-riddled book, State of Fear (see here and here). No, I am talking about the central plot point in the book's climax.
One of Crichton's main goals in the book is to undermine the case that global warming causes abrupt climate change and extreme weather events. In his story, a mainstream environmental group is plotting to create extreme weather events that will cause the deaths of thousands of people timed to coincide with a conference on abrupt climate change in order to trick the public into accepting global warming as truth. In a bizarre coincidence, the book's climax has the evil environmentalists carefully plan a seismic tsunami-just weeks before an actual tsunami devastated Southeast Asia.
But the truth is stronger than fiction. Seismic tsunamis are caused by earth tremors. They are not caused by global warming! Any climate scientist knows that. This is a stunning blunder by Crichton, calling into question his claim to have any understanding of global warming.
I don't know what would be worse — if Crichton knew he was making such a mistake but couldn't be troubled to avoid it or if he didn't know he was making a mistake.
Before I get a litany of comments saying this book was just meant to be a work of fiction, let's look at the press release Crichton himself issued in December 2004 (since removed from his website, but the second sentence can be Googled):
STATE OF FEAR raises critical questions about the facts we believe in, without question, on the strength of esteemed experts and the media. Although the story is fiction, Michael Crichton writes from a firm foundation of actual research challenging common assumptions about global warming.
Now what makes this blunder especially timely is a new study that finds that if, as some like NASA's James Hansen fear, we see significant sea level rise in the future, the extra weight of that water could lead to "volcanic activity, earthquakes, giant submarine landslides and tsunamis." You can read about the theory here.
The truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
9 Responses to Global Warming, Tsunamis, and Michael Crichton's Big Blunder
Bill McGuire? Researced-based or Opinion? How about providing a peer-reviewed article with references from McGuire.
At least he didn't make a Y2K blunder.
You have to Hand it to Hansen.
When are you going to do a post on NASA's latest screw up with the US land surface record?
Dumbass, the tsunami in the book wasn't caused by global warming.
I haven't read the book – never will – but there is a growing theory that global warming can, in fact, cause increased seismic activity.
One group studied the correlation between seismic activity and climate in the mediterranean over the past 2000 years and found it to be marked and significant.
The theory is that as the polar ice melts, water flows to the equator – a fact borne out by the differential sea level changes at the poles and tropics. This shift in weight changes the pressures on the earth's crust enough to move and weaken the joins.
If you graph the total energy in earthquakes each year, I predict you'll see a distinct and steady rise very similar to that in the temperature graph.
correction – it should be a first level differential – reflecting the rate of change.
You have selected a complete non-point.
Nothing in the book indicates that tsunamis have anything to do with global warming. The people causing the tsunami only want to scare people, and know that most people have no idea about tsunami or climate change, and can be led to believe anything.
This has essentially been shown true in real life, where all manner of incidents have been blamed on global warming.
It's not that Crichton believes this, but that the GW alarmists have blamed every conceivable natural phenomenon, incuding the 2004 tsunami in Asia, on global warming, and this book is about unfounded climate fears.
Roy W. Spencer's latest book, "Climate Confusion," mentions that "a few experts and politicians blamed the tsunami on global warming." (page 17). Some also blamed it on God, of course. The point is that GW believers are inclined to blame every weather and geological event on warming, with little respect for scientific facts.
By the way, it's not warming….
Hang on… it does seem that your last paragraph validates Crichton's plot. In the novel's world, presuming the tsunami *had* been successful, this water-weight hypothesis (now further corroborated by a study) would be used to cause public alarm. This would appear not to be a blunder at all. Could you explain the discrepancy?

SAN FRANCISCO, California – Mark Feb. 6 on your calendar: It's Give Kids a Smile Day here at UCSF.
Women in Dentistry See Progress, Continued Challenges
CHICAGO, Illinois – When Dr. Harriet Seldin studied dentistry in 1978, she said it wasnt uncommon for a patient to tell her she was the first woman dentist he or she has seen. I look back at that time, and Im amazed at how few of us there were, said Dr. Seldin, of San Diego. In my class, it was about 20 percent women, and that was considered very high.
USC Alumni Association Recognizes Ostrow Pioneer in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Rhett Berg: Persevering Through Past Challenges
SAN FRANCISCO, California – First-year dentistry student Rhett Berg has just embarked on his health care career, but he already has years of experience as a caregiver often in extremely challenging situations.
Growing up in Roseburg, Ore., Berg struggled through a difficult childhood: his parents' divorce, an abusive stepfather and then an accident that left his stepfather severely disabled. Berg began caring for his mother and siblings early on, and worked fulltime through college to financially support his family.
ADHA Teams with Other Oral Health Professionals to Help Reduce Childhood Obesity
WASHINGTON, DC – The National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center (OHRC) at Georgetown University has been awarded $747,689 by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to identify opportunities for engaging oral health professionals (dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants) in reducing childhood obesity by using evidence-based recommendations and strategies. The project aligns with two RWJF goals: (1) to eliminate young childrens consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and (2) to ensure that children enter kindergarten at a healthy weight.
Linda Centore: Crafting Sensitive Dentistry for Those Most in Need
SAN FRANCISCO, California – "This patient was threatening suicide over a bad tooth that the dentists told him had to come out. It was really a cry for help; he was between therapists. While the dentists are trained to keep patients healthy, the patients get to decide when they want to let go of a body part, and sometimes we need to give them time to digest bad news. Part of my role is to negotiate, based on patients' emotional health and their values, and find something that will work for them."

The Athletics surprised everyone by winning 94 games — ZiPS said they were more likely to lose 94 games — last season, their best record since the days of Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder, and Barry Zito. When a team exceeds expectations by that much, it's usually because they received some very big (and very surprising) contributions from unexpected sources. Their rookie-laden rotation was dynamite, Sean Doolittle went from first baseman to elite setup man in barely a year, and journeyman Brandon Moss whacked 21 homers with a 162 wRC+ in 296 plate appearances.
Moss, 29, put together a .286/.371/.582 (142 wRC+) with 15 homers in 224 plate appearances for Triple-A Sacramento before being called up to the big league team in early-June. He hit seven homers in his first 13 games — he had just 12 hits in those 13 games — and 11 homers in his first 27 games with the Athletics. Moss cooled off just a bit in August (129 wRC+) before going on a late-season tear (202 wRC+ in September and October) to help push Oakland past the Rangers on the final day of the season. The end result was a .291/.358/.596 batting line in those 296 trips to the plate.
Breakout performances tend to put a player firmly on the fantasy radar for the following season, even at positions as traditionally deep as 1B and OF (Moss is eligible at both). Moss may have finally broken out at age 28 last season, after roughly six years of bouncing between Triple-A and the big leagues, but there are a number of reasons to be skeptical of his performance going forward.
One-quarter of his fly balls left the yard
Among players who came to the plate at least 200 times last season, only Adam Dunn (29.3%), Giancarlo Stanton (28.9%), and Ryan Howard (27.5%) saw a higher percentage of their fly balls leave the yard than Moss (25.9%). Josh Hamilton (25.6%) was right behind him. I think we can all agree that Dunn, Stanton, Howard, and Hamilton all have mammoth power, plus three of those guys played in hitter's parks in 2012. It's not insane to see that more than one-quarter of their fly balls left the yard.
Moss, however, played in Oakland in a ballpark with a 94 Park Factor for LH HR. Don't get me wrong, he's always shown power at the upper levels of the minors — .221 ISO in over 2,000 career Triple-A plate appearances — but a 25.9% HR/FB rate in the O.co Coliseum gives me great pause. The last Athletics player to do that was noted three-true-outcomeser Jack Cust in 2008 (29.7%).
He doesn't make much contact
Moss struck out in 30.4% of his plate appearances last year and he made contact on just 66.7% of his swings, both far worst than the league average (19.8% and 79.7%, respectively). He came into the season with a career 22.4% strikeout rate in the big leagues and a 23.7% rate in Triple-A. Strikeouts are part of his game and that's fine, lots of great hitters strike out a bunch. The problem is that it's tough to see anyone with that swing-and-miss-ability maintaining a .290-ish batting average and a .360-ish BABIP going forward, especially in Oakland, where foul pop-ups go to die. A drop down into the .240-ish range with the average would not be a surprise.
Playing time and platoon issues
Manager Bob Melvin did a brilliant job mixing and matching his platoon players last season, and that includes Moss and Chris Carter at first base. Moss faced a left-hander in 62 of 296 plate appearances last year, a bit more than 20% of the time, and in those 62 plate appearances he more than held his own — .293/.339/.431 (115 wRC+). That line includes a .366 BABIP and a 24.2% strikeout rate.
Moss has hit Triple-A lefties to a tune of .260/.338/.449 over the last two years according to Minor League Central, which matches up almost exactly with his big league production against same-side pitchers in 2012. He did come into the year with a .246/.321/.377 career line against big league lefties in a small-ish sample, so he hasn't been completely useless against southpaws. Melvin figures to continue sitting Moss in favor of Carter against lefties though, and that will cut into his playing time. This isn't as much of a concerns as the HR/FB or contact rates, but it's something fantasy owners have to be aware of.
* * *
The last thing anyone wants to do is waste some auction money or a draft pick on a Quad-A masher who had a good 300 or so plate appearances and simply reverts back to being the guy he was in the past. ZiPS projects Moss to hit the same 21 homers he hit in 2012 again in 2013, except this time in 532 plate appearances instead of 296. The system's projected .236/.305/.426 batting line reflects the expected drop in his batting average due to BABIP and contact concerns.
If you're going to have just one real tool, either in fantasy or reality, power is a pretty good one to have. Moss should be serviceable as a bench piece next year, someone a fantasy owner can mix into the lineup against a weak right-hander at either 1B or OF (or UTIL, I suppose). He's not someone you want to target with the idea of keeping him in the lineup everyday because a) Melvin is unlikely to do that, and b) the overall production is unlikely to warrant that kind of commitment. Moss would be a great sub-$5 get in ottoneu leagues, but I'd be wary of paying more.

Cerner Health Conference (CHC) 2013 is an international event hosted at the Kansas City Convention Center annually. The theme for the 2013 event was "It starts with me". Carroll County Memorial Hospital has been a participant in the event since 2011. This year the partnership between CCMH and Cerner was in the spotlight in two venues.
Jeff Tindle, CCMH CEO, returned as a featured speaker again this year. The lecture "Improving Outcomes and Financial Viability--Life After Implementation" focused on the CCMH journey post-implementation of the electronic health record (EHR). "This was an opportunity to share what the efficiency and cost savings of EHR have allowed CCMH to do", shared Tindle. "Revenue Cycle, wellness programing, and software enhancements are just of few of the types of buy ups that keep CCMH on the cutting edge of technology in the rural market.
Moments of inspiration and shared experience can ignite a spark that transforms the present and future of healthcare. That is what CHC is about, sharing experience and inspiring others to take the next steps. CCMH's story of wellness programing for the staff was selected to be highlighted during the 2013 event. Shannon Jordan, CCMH COO, submitted the story of why wellness was important to her, to CCMH Administration, to CCMH staff, patients and the community. The CCMH story was highlighted throughout the CHC marketing campaign--emails, Facebook, banners, posters and handouts. "It was eerie to stand by a six foot tall photo of myself, but also exciting that the CCMH story not only continues to be shared but shared on a large stage" Jordan noted.
CCMH's partnership with Cerner Corporation continues to expand and grow as the needs of CCMH and the community they serve grow. "Partnership is not a term I use lightly," says Tindle, "but is a truly accurate description of the relationship CCMH has with Cerner."

Darren Rhodes—who I met last summer when elephant journal sponsored Yoga Rocks, where I interviewed Seane Corn—is the poster boy of Anusara yoga. Below, his poses are brought to 2D in an amazing, beautifully-executed yoga video. First, the Posters:
Every yoga pose, flowing in and out, pausing only to get a photo and make this big huge comprehensive yoga poster.
Late in November 2005, we concocted a crazy plan. 1) Darren Rhodes would perform every asana in the Anusara Syllabus in two days. 2) He would do all of the poses of each type (backbends, armbalancing, forward folds etc) in each level as an uninterrupted set (for ross' video purposes). 3) Michael would photograph every pose for output to a syllabus poster. This is some footage from the process:
