mike wilbon (1:06 PM)
What's Up everybody? Thanks for doing a Thursday chat...Just landing from Chicago where I covered Bulls-Hawks Game 2 last night...trying to figure out if I should be on a flight in the a.m. headed to Dallas to write the Lakers obit...We'll jump into that and more...
Terry (Madison)
What time in the day do you tape PTI?
mike wilbon (1:08 PM)
Usually around 4:30 eastern time, finishing around 5 or so...It can't be any earlier than that because stuff happens, you know? You try to tape at 2 or 3 and events will overtake what you've taped. For instance, we're awaiting some word from the NBA on Ron Artest and whether last night's clothesline will earn him a suspension or just a fine. The NBA probably won't even decide that until about 4...Some days we're live. But the show need to be really close to live so that we've got the latest on what's happening that day...
Brandon (Oregon)
I was thinking while watching Game 2 last night that while Boozer has defensive issues, this matchup vs. the Hawks and Josh Smith actually benefits Boozer because Smith is more likely to take long jumpers then actually drive to the basket, and he's much worse then Hansbrough at jumpers. Would you agree that defensively it's the best possible outcome for Boozer this series?
mike wilbon (1:10 PM)
Very nicely done. What are you, a coach? You summed it up and put a bow on it. Boozer, because he's got something akin to turn toe and can't explode off the floor at all, has been getting his shots blocked by Josh Smith. BUT, Smith is content to stand out there and shoot rainbow jumpers, something at which he ain't very good...The Boozer story is a top priority in Chicago right now. He got booed last night and Jokim Noah was a GREAT teammate to say to people, without showing irritation, "Hey, stop it. The guy is hurt, he's giving us everything we have and we need him so don't KILL his morale." Well done by Jokim.
jeff (NY)
What is wrong with lakers? It seems Pau have some serious issue as a "white swan" and the bench aside from Odom is just not there! The three point was horrible! What should Buss do in the offseason?
mike wilbon (1:13 PM)
Let's face it; nobody really knows "what's wrong" with the Lakers. There are hundreds of theories out there, including ones that make total sense but may not be the true answer, and some stuff that sounds insane (like Andrew Bynum's "trust issue" answer last night, which on the face of it sounded insane but could be right on the money. My theory, since you asked, is that the Lakers are worn out from playing so many games in three, now four, years. They're just worn the bleep out. They look frazzled and grumpy, sort of like Kornheiser most days. I'm serious, there's a reason why nobody has been to Four Finals in awhile, and being worn out from 100 games a year the previous three years is as good an explanation as I've heard.
Ha Nguyen (cambridge, ontario canada)
Watching Carlos Boozer during these playoffs are so frusting as he struggles with younger more atheltic guys, I almost feel that the Bulls are better off playing a combination of Gibson, Kurt Thomas and Omar whats your opinon on this.
mike wilbon (1:16 PM)
My opinion isn't all that different from yours. I just think it's not the time to overreact or make a point if you're coaching the Bulls. Just start Boozer and see what you get out of him that night. If healthy--and he's not healthy--you can get a 17-point, 17-rebound performance like he put up in Game 2 of the Pacers series. If he's ineffective and getting his shot smacked and not playing good defense, give more time to Taj Gibson, Kurt Thomas and Omer, all of whom play better defense but aren't as offensively polished as Boozer, which is why the Bulls signed him in the first place...You've got depth, so use it as Tibbs does...But there's no need to embarass Boozer. They're going to need him if they get past Atlanta and everybody on the team knows it even if the boo-birds don't...
Michael (B-Town)
Some are saying the great "Big Three Era" in San Antonio ended with the Grizzlies victory in the second round. Do you think the same could be said for Boston if Miami wins in 4 or 5?
mike wilbon (1:17 PM)
Great question...Probably, yes. If Miami, which is going to be around for awhile, just takes out Boston quickly then what are the Celtics going to do, just wait around and hope somebody else beats the Heat in the playoffs every year? They would have to keep Rondo, it seems to me, but everybody else would be tradeable...But I'm not ready to give up on the Celtics in this series. I think if they win Game 3 we've got a potential classic that most of us wanted to see.
Zach (Western Illinois University)
How soon into a game should the Bulls begin feeding Carlos Boozer the ball, it almost seems like they get around to it mid-2nd quarter which is unfortunate because by then he is usually in foul trouble? I think that getting him the ball earlier are more designed plays would help prevent the foul trouble and increase the inside numbers instead of settling for jumpshots from the get go as they have done in the first two games of this series with the hawks.
mike wilbon (1:20 PM)
I agree with that completely. If you remember that sequence during Game 1 of this series when they fed Boozer three straight times and he hit various shots and the Bulls had nearly seized control of the game (of course, Booze missed a 16-footer which would have pushed the lead to 8, but he's a helluva jump shooter from that range so I'm good with that shot). They should have done that earlier, maybe like the way the Jordan Bulls used to go repeatedly to Bill Cartwright early in the game to make people committ to a certain kind of defense. Yes, there were even a couple of sequences yesterday, gimpy as Booze was, when he and Rose played a little 2-man game. It's important, too, because Booze is such a good and willing passer. Yes, more and earlier.
Charlie (Bored at work)
Long time fan of PTI. Keep up the great work. If the Lakers lose this series, do you see everyone not named Kobe Bryant as tradeable this offseason?
mike wilbon (1:22 PM)
Almost the same question as the one about the Celtics. Yeah, I guess so. I'd start, if I ran the Lakers, by offering Andrew Bynum and something else for Dwight Howard. That would be my very first move, to convince the Orlando Magic management, if they're not already convinced, that Dwight's not staying so they might as well take a 24-year-old 7-footer for him...orlando doesn't want a repeat of the Shaq situation, where after he left for L.A. it took a decade to climb back to just being relevant again.
Tony (Richmond, CA)
How shocked are you at the Spurs, and now apparently the Lakers, sudden demise and abrupt fall from the top?
mike wilbon (1:23 PM)
Hmmm, maybe sad more than shocked. I'm 52 years old and have been covering sports for 31 years. I've seen lots of great teams come and go...The old Baltimore Orioles, the Joe Gibbs Washington Redskins, the Bill Walsh 49ers, Magic's Lakers, Larry's Celtics, Jordan's Bulls, the Aikman-Smith-Irvin Cowboys, hell the Gretzky Oilers...It has to happen. It's just time.
Brian (Office)
If LA loses, who becomes the favorite in the west? OKC?
mike wilbon (1:25 PM)
Are you sure OKC can beat Memphis, because I'm not. I think Dallas would become the fave. Look, Dirk is unstoppable right now. The Lakers can't guard him, so why would OKC be able to? Jason Kidd is having a flashback to the early 2000s when he led the Nets to the Finals. Tyson Chandler and Brendan Haywood have made a significant impact since joining the team. Dallas would be my favorite.
Brian (Office)
Who has a better (realistic) chance of winning their series, BOS or LA?
mike wilbon (1:25 PM)
Boston...They haven't played a home game yet.
mike wilbon (1:26 PM)
I don't know anymore. Look, I picked the Celtics in 7, but they'll need to win both games this weekend, Saturday and Monday, to win the series, in my opinion.
Dave (Tustin, Ca.)
Michael,The only post season award that really matters...Exec Of The Year!Regardless of wether we believe that the Miami Big 3 had a secret agreement or not all along, Riles has ice water running through his veins and he stayed the course and never deviated from his plan. if he missed, the Heat might be the worst team in basketball right now.Now, to my question...Can we expectg more heroics from Pat ala Bosh for Paul next year?
mike wilbon (1:28 PM)
For Chris Paul? Who would New Orleans want off that roster if you're keeping the Big Three? Answer: nobody. No, that's not going to happen. If Paul is a free agent and wants to go for $1.50 he can do that, sure. I guess Riles is exec of the year, but what if the Bulls beat the heat in the conference finals? Who then? Gar Forman/John Paxson, right? The Bulls totally remade their roster in one year and hired obviously the right coach. And spent a ton less money.
Taylor (MIA)
Will this series finally stop Larry Drew's quick hook with Jeff Teague? The man has played D Rose to a stalemate which in my opinion makes the Hawks better than the Bulls.
mike wilbon (1:31 PM)
Yeah, looks like Teague has to get a long, long look next year, right? Can the Hawks make Kirk Hinrich a backup, which is what he should be on a team with serious aspirations? Teague has done a really, really good job vs. Rose through two games. From listening to Larry this week, I think Teague had problems with his confidence. Sometimes a coach wants and needs to protect a guy and keep him from being roasted when he's young, which in turn helps his confidence over a period of time. Seems Teague's confidence ought to be just fine now.
Al (Newark (NJ))
Is not having a real center hurting the HEAT chances so far....
mike wilbon (1:31 PM)
The Heat is 6-1 in the playoffs so far...how much could anything be hurting them?
jim (Normal, Il)
Is Dallas the worst matchup for the bulls because they have no one that can guard dirk besides Noah but then who takes on Haywood and Chandler in post?
mike wilbon (1:33 PM)
Deng is my bet for the guy who would be assigned to guard Dirk. Don't forget, Luol is 6-9; he's not giving away too much size. Noah would get him when Dallas goes small and puts Dirk at the 4 or even the 5. Kurt Thomas might be needed for more minutes, and Asik...That's the luxury of having 5 bigs...But we're getting ahead of ourselves. The look ahead for Dallas is fine, but the Bulls have their hands full with Dallas right now.
Dennis (Mexico)
Been watching all the Bulls games and noticed that with the exception of last night, when Rose and Bulls have a chance to go 2 for 1 at the end of quarters, they get into a slow set and take a shot at 17 or 18 seconds instead of taking one at the 30 second mark and giving themselves in extra position. Why doesnt Rose or Thibs correct this? Extra possesions help.
mike wilbon (1:35 PM)
Your observation is right on. But I would suggest that this team is so much a work in progress. I don't believe one person in the Bulls organization would have bet one dime the team would finish the regular season with the best record in the NBA. They're still figuring it out. Tibbs, remember, is a rookie head coach. And Rose, remember, is still 22 years old. What bothers me more is that the Bulls are such a bad team at the end of quarters and halftime, always letting teams back into games that shouldn't be close.
mike wilbon (1:36 PM)
I don't know about GMs. I'd take Kobe for 45 minutes, then I want Carmelo Anthony taking the last shot.
Phil (PR)
Hey Wilbon. Why every GM takes Kobe for the last shot, when he is 36 of 116 (31%) and 6 of 23 (26%) in the playoffs? I know is his reputation but the numbers lie? Hope you can answer this.
mike wilbon (1:36 PM)
That was the previous question I didn't post...Ooops, sorry.
Mike (IL)
Seems like this season is a changing of the guard as far as rivalries and dominant teams go. Good for basketball, right? I mean, what's not to love about a new Grizzlies-Thunder rivalry and (likely) soon to be rekindled Bulls-Heat one?
mike wilbon (1:42 PM)
Well, there are some people (mostly who like in big cities) who want Celtics-Lakers to continue forever, people who think it's the divine right of big market teams to rule the roost. And they--read Korhneiser--hate the notion of Memphis advancing, or even Oklahoma City advancing. I do think its great for the league because it makes the product more inclusive across the board. But yes, I see a transition, from Celtics/Lakers/Spurs to Heat/Bulls/Thunder. We've got to wait awhile before pronouncing the Grizzlies the next great thing, but they could be in that group, for sure.
Phil (New York)
Agreed, Mavs should be the favorite. How people automatically put OKC above the Mavs is ludicrous. Mavs finished with a significantly better record, and correct me if I'm wrong, Mavs have always dominated the Thunder in their matchups.
mike wilbon (1:42 PM)
Good points. Thanks for that.
Durant (Cloud 9)
I own Lebron. I just won the scoring title again. We are about to win the championship. Derrick Rose is really the MVP?
mike wilbon (1:43 PM)
Are you really the MVP; there's another guy on your team taking more shots than you...
ant 4000 (dmv)
will there be basketball next season?
mike wilbon (1:43 PM)
yes, around the first of February...much like 1999.
Michael Joseph (Lou Malnati's )
Is there ANY way the Bulls can trade Boozer at the end of the season for any value?
mike wilbon (1:44 PM)
Stop. Seroiusly, take a drink of water and just sit down...
john (FL)
Mike, which college basketball team has the most upside, GT, UVA or ILL? I'm trying to settle a wager
mike wilbon (1:44 PM)
Illinois? I don't know!!! What kind of wager is that?
Josh (NY)
You'd still take Kobe over Lebron for the first 45 minutes of a game? I just want to make sure I understand you. . . before my uncontrollable guffaw.
mike wilbon (1:45 PM)
The question was about Kobe as a finisher...And I would take Kobe for 45 minutes with Carmelo taking the last shot. What's wrong with that? I'd take LeBron for 45 minutes, too, as long as Carmelo got the last shot because LeBron sure isn't the best closer in the league.
Drew (DC)
Mike, please tell me how a team can have both the COY and the MVP in the same season? How does that make sense? Doesn't having D. Rose make it seem like Thibodeau had a lot to work with in Chicago?
mike wilbon (1:48 PM)
Tibbs had one All-Star, had about six new players (Boozer, Korver, Asik, Thomas, Watson, Brewer...and I'm sure I'm missing somebody) and was a rookie coach. Who do you want as coach of the year? I voted Tibbs second, behind George Karl who had hell to manage in Denver, and ahead of Doug Collins, who did a damn nice job in Philly. Seems Lionel Hollins should have gotten more votes than he did. AND, Pop (while having a lot to work with) nonetheless did a 180 spinorama move with his team, philosophically, I'm betting because he thought the best chance that team had to win was to shed it's toe--to-toe style of the past decade...It worked like a charm during the regular season, but not in the playoffs.
Faraz (Chicago )
"I guess Riles is exec of the year, but what if the Bulls beat the heat in the conference finals? Who then?" According to that logic, if the Heat win over the Bulls, should they give the MVP to LeBron?
mike wilbon (1:49 PM)
MVP is a regular season award...Isn't Exec of the Year still up for grabs?
Carlos Romo (San Juan, PR.)
How did the Lakers let Barea slice and dice them so badly? He looked like Chris Paul out there, even gave an assist to Brendan Haywood!
mike wilbon (1:49 PM)
Barea is a pretty good guard who's been around awhile, and it's no secret that small guards who can get into the lane have given the Lakers trouble for quite awhile. (See Chris Paul)
Ben (FL)
Why don't you try answering a tough question for once in your life?
mike wilbon (1:50 PM)

david (boston)
does shaq play in game 3. and what should celtics fans expect from him
mike wilbon (1:51 PM)
I think Shaq will play, but I don't see any huge impact. I mean, how many minutes at once can he play? Six? Eight? And what kind of shape will he be in? Even pushing and shoving demands more energy than people think...I just wonder how effective he can be in this series.
Jason (Seattle)
Are any well-managed small-market teams losing money? Have a hard time buying the league's line if San Antonio, Portland, OKC, the Jazz, etc., are making money. Why should owners be guaranteed a profit if they run their business into the ground and offer a bad product? In what other field would that argument fly?
mike wilbon (1:53 PM)
Well, that's what the players union will be arguing...And one a side note, while I liked OKC when I went to interview Kevin Durant in the fall and he gave me an overview of what to do and where and how charming it is there, Seattle is one of my five favorite cities in America and I CANNOT BELIEVE that team isn't playing in Key Arena! Vancouver-Seattle should be where this is playing out instead of OKC and Memphis. Sorry, don't go crazy, I'm fine with OKC and Memphis (love Beale St. and the BBQ) but they're not Vancouver (prettiest city in North America) and Seattle.
Omer Asik (Chicago)
Um,Why dont Derrick go back to his midrange game? And why do some people panic about the Bulls??They are a grimey team........And I still dont think the Bulls need Boozer to win.
mike wilbon (2:01 PM)
I agree totally with that. With the mid-range jumper you're in traffic and have to get lift on that shot, as opposed to the 3 where you are often guarded less tightly and can shoot it without launching yourself over 6-10 guys. The Bulls KNOW they're a "grimey team" and that they have to rebound and play D to win, AND THAT THEY NEED BOOZE, which is why Noah appealed to the fans in Chicago last night to not boo him.Okay, gotta run and prepare for PTI...Shane Battier is our guest today so check it out...And we're back to Monday at 1 next week...thanks everybody, have a great weekend! MW
John (DC)
Hey, Mike - what do you say? Head on up to West Point with us for the Cats' game on September 17th?
mike wilbon (2:01 PM)
I'm seriously thinking about it!
Raymond (Ohio)
Chicago has no chance at beating Miami, Boston, LA or Dallas in a seven game series. Thoughts?
mike wilbon (2:02 PM)
You're too far off-based for me to even come back...That's my thought.

Nice hotel, bad room locationPosted Mar 9, 2016
The hotel was nice. The room was spacious and the view was wonderful. The location of our room was located over the "adult" pool and sauna. The noise was horrible! They let kids stay in the pool all hours! The shouting and screaming and drinking into the wee hours of the morning. I called reception 2 times one night and got the same answer. They said the local kids were in the pool and the police were coming. Well I was there and the kids were staying there and no police ever came. I will not be going back to the lodge ever! We also were overcharged on our bill and once again had no explanation. Definitely not a 4 star hotel!

Lovely hotel on the beach with great amenitiesPosted Mar 5, 2016
I've never stayed at such a nice hotel with such fabulous amenities. Friendly staff, turn down service with a nightly gift, wonderful room service, and great valet staff. The room was freshly renovated with a huge bathroom, great window seat looking out to our ocean view and the most comfortable beds. The hotel's grounds were lovely and we had a wonderful day at the spa. I just felt so pampered the whole stay.

One of the Best in 20 years of traveling the globePosted Feb 27, 2016 on Hotels
One of the Best in 20 years of traveling the globe. My experience reminded of one of my best stays at the Ritz Carlton Maui. I'm staying at "The Lodge" part of what I call a multi-campus property. All rooms are ocean view and I am enjoying a balcony (with 2 chairs and a table) and a "window seat" looking out over the "adult-only" pool and jacuzzi (there are many options for children and families too) and the Atlantic Ocean at the tranquil Ponte Vedra Beach. This hotel is situated in what feels like a quiet mostly residential section of the beach. Feels like a haven. Service of all staff I've interacted with (valet, bellhop, restaurant servers, check-ins are impeccable). You can have spa services, golf, and more. I decided to have a private tennis lesson on 1 of the 15 Har Tru clay courts. My 60-minute lesson with Adam I decided to turn into 90 minutes. This lesson was one of my best too! Breakfast was one of the most delicious I've eaten and I began to worry that I might be coloring everything with positive impressions, but I have access to beautiful places. I enjoy beautifully appointed hotels room and all the pleasures of the rich and famous, of which I am neither. The value of the this hotel is excellent and allowed me to be bathed (yes a soaker tub) in luxury that is beautiful and healthy (I'm off to the gym tomorrow morning)!

The facility was beautiful and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only downside was a leak or condensation dripping from the bathroom ceiling. Otherwise the beach side location and overall appearance of the facility were great.

"Considered that it's an 2-starred hotel, the overall experience was good. Great with aircondition and the free breakfast is allright. The worst thing was the very, very slow internet-speed that reminded me of the speed connections from the early 2000's!"

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Sufficient quantities of metabolites M1a and M2 were produced for in vitro characterization of their potential involvement in drug-drug interactions involving the drug efflux transporter, P-glycoprotein (P-gp). For evaluation of their interaction with P-gp as substrates, bidirectional permeability assays were performed in Transwell® cultures of MDR1-MDCK cell monolayers, a canine renal epithelial cell line transfected with MDR1, the gene coding for human P-gp.
Substrates of efflux transporters such as P-gp have low apical-to-basolateral (A→B) apparent permeability (Papp) values and higher basolateral-to-apical (B→A) Papp values, resulting in an efflux ratio (B→A Papp/A→B Papp) greater than 1. This is due to the fact that P-gp, which is expressed on the apical surface of many epithelial cells, blocks the entry of its substrates across the apical membrane and facilitates the transport of drugs in the opposite direction.
In this manner, ritonavir, M1a, and to a lesser extent M2 (each at a concentration of 5 µM), were identified as substrates of P-gp.
To evaluate their interactions as inhibitors of P-gp, bidirectional permeability assays were performed in Transwell cultures of Caco-2 monolayers, a human intestinal epithelial cell line that naturally expresses P-gp. Digoxin, known to be effluxed by P-gp, was used as the probe substrate.
Inhibitors of P-gp reduce the efflux ratio of digoxin in this assay. Ritonavir completely inhibited P-gp, M1a inhibited by 55%, and M2 was a weak inhibitor. Each compound was tested at a concentration of 20 µM, approximately the plasma Cmax for ritonavir in humans.
It should not be surprising that drug metabolites, like the parent drugs themselves, could potentially be involved in drug interactions as substrates or inhibitors of macromolecules involved in drug disposition. Just as drug metabolites can be pharmacologically active, they can also be pharmacokinetically active. As illustrated here, the drug interaction potential of metabolites cannot necessarily be inferred based on that of the parent molecule. Biomimetic oxidation, a relatively quick and simple means of generating semi-preparative quantities of metabolites, can make the job easier.

Pollock's Toy Museum information
Aimed at adults as much as kids, this museum is simultaneously creepy and mesmerising. You walk in through its shop, laden with excellent wooden toys and various games, and start your exploration by climbing up a rickety narrow staircase, where displays begin with mechanical toys, puppets and framed dolls from Latin America, Africa, India and Europe.
Upstairs is the museum's collection of toy theatres, many made by Benjamin Pollock himself, the leading Victorian manufacturer of the popular sets, as well as tin toys, teddy bears and weird-looking dolls in cotton nighties.

We present the first climate prediction of the coming decade made with multiple models, initialized with prior observations. This prediction accrues from an international activity to exchange decadal predictions in near real-time, in order to assess differences and similarities, provide a consensus view to prevent over-confidence in forecasts from any single model, and establish current collective capability. We stress that the forecast is experimental, since the skill of the multi-model system is as yet unknown. Nevertheless, the forecast systems used here are based on models that have undergone rigorous evaluation and individually have been evaluated for forecast skill. Moreover, it is important to publish forecasts to enable open evaluation, and to provide a focus on climate change in the coming decade. Initialized forecasts of the year 2011 agree well with observations, with a pattern correlation of 0.62 compared to 0.31 for uninitialized projections. In particular, the forecast correctly predicted La Niña in the Pacific, and warm conditions in the north Atlantic and USA. A similar pattern is predicted for 2012 but with a weaker La Niña. Indices of Atlantic multi-decadal variability and Pacific decadal variability show no signal beyond climatology after 2015, while temperature in the Niño3 region is predicted to warm slightly by about 0.5 °C over the coming decade. However, uncertainties are large for individual years and initialization has little impact beyond the first 4 years in most regions. Relative to uninitialized forecasts, initialized forecasts are significantly warmer in the north Atlantic sub-polar gyre and cooler in the north Pacific throughout the decade. They are also significantly cooler in the global average and over most land and ocean regions out to several years ahead. However, in the absence of volcanic eruptions, global temperature is predicted to continue to rise, with each year from 2013 onwards having a 50 % chance of exceeding the current observed record. Verification of these forecasts will provide an important opportunity to test the performance of models and our understanding and knowledge of the drivers of climate change.

Submitted by Dan Youn on Wed, 01/13/2016 - 01:43
The Lexus LF-LC Concept first debuted in 2012 and it looked rather promising. It vowed to deliver stability, high-performance, and dynamic driving capabilities. Four years later, the production version is finally ready to roll out and it's properly labeled as the Lexus LC 500. Lexus states that this is their most "athletic" flagship coupe yet, and it looks to be that way. We can definitely see the direction they want to take for their future production cars.

One of the most influential and the greatest designers of the car world has stepped down from the Italian design house he founded.

Current research on social integration and mental health operationalizes social integration as frequency of interactions and participation in social activities (i.e., social contact). This neglects the subjective dimension of social integration, namely group identification. We present two studies comparing the effect exerted by social contact and group identification on mental health (e.g., depression, stress) across two different groups (family; army unit), demonstrating that group identification predicts mental health better than social contact.

Pain is the body's natural response to harm or possible damage. Pain occurs when special nerve endings, called pain receptors, are turned on because of illness or injury or when chemical changes within the body indicate that body tissues are damaged. When a pain receptor is turned on, it triggers the release of chemicals that sends a signal to the brain. The signal travels within the spinal cord to the brain, which recognizes the signal as pain.
There are two types of pain: nociceptive and neuropathic. Each type is set apart by its cause, how long it lasts, what it feels like, and the types of treatment that may help it.
When pain lasts for a long time, it is called chronic pain. This type of pain is often caused by illness or injury. And it is complicated because the source of the pain is often unknown. Some doctors consider pain to be chronic when it lasts one month longer than expected, but the general medical definition is pain that has lasted for six months or longer.
Chronic pain is difficult to treat because it varies so much from person to person. Even two people with the same kind of pain may need different treatments. Chronic pain is also problematic because it can change frequently—from day to day, week to week, and month to month. It can even change hourly, depending on your activity, mood, stress level, and general health.

UA defensive staff look to turn page
Arkansas defensive coordinator Robb Smith directs his players as linebacker Alex Brignoni (45) listens during practice Thursday, March 20, 2014, at the UA practice field in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE - The bliss probably won't last beyond reigning SEC champion Auburn's first points on Arkansas during the Aug. 30 season-opener in Auburn, Ala., but the Razorbacks' spring practices in general and the Red-White spring game in particular extended the Arkansas honeymoon for new defensive coordinator Robb Smith and a nearly all new defensive staff.
Linebackers coach Randy Shannon, now with the additional title of assistant head coach, is the lone 2013 returnee on Coach Bret Bielema's Arkansas defensive staff. The staff includes Smith, the former Rutgers defensive coordinator who coached last year for Tampa Bay in the NFL, secondary coach Clay Jennings, hired from TCU, and defensive line coach Rory Segrest, hired from Samford but with a Philadelphia Eagles NFL defensive coaching pedigree.
They assume a defense in an Arkansas program traditionally rich defensively but not lately.
Bobby Petrino's 2008-2011 Arkansas era was decidedly offensive. Former Petrino defensive coordinator Willy Robinson caught heat regardless the Razorbacks' record. Robinson was November fired with Petrino's 2011 Hogs 10-2 and headed to the Cotton Bowl.
Paul Haynes, hired in December, 2011, assumed a defense playing its best game stifling Kansas State and noted K-State quarterback Collin Klein 29-18 in Dallas.
Haynes' acclaim didn't last. A victim of the 4-8 collapse in 2012following Petrino's firing and John L. Smith's hiring, Haynes was fortunate his alma mater, Kent State, summoned him as head coach as Arkansas changed coaches.
Defensive coordinator Chris Ash arrived with Bielema from Wisconsin.
The chemistry and success Bielema and Ash enjoyed up north didn't mesh in last year's 3-9 season gone south.
Ash jumped to Ohio State as a co-coordinator.
Robb Smith arrived with a style far more upbeat and aggressive, and in the spring game mostly effective even with the second defense vs. the first offense for a half.
Starting quarterback Brandon Allen took the talk show heat for the first-team offense's first-half Red-White struggles but Bielema imparted that Smith's defense played a big part.
"Some of the offensive struggles, in particular in the spring game, were directly attributable to those [defensive] guys playing better," Bielema said.
Shannon's return "with a nice say," Bielema said, because of Shannon's knowledge of the Hogs' recent defensive past to go with the infusion of Smith, Jennings and Segrest has bonded a better defense, Bielema asserts.
The D-line front four was by far Arkansas' strongest defensive asset last year. It appears so again though Smith, Jennings and Shannon aggressively push the back seven closing the gap aggressively.
"Robb probably takes an offensive approach to defense as much as you can," Bielema said. "He really tries to set the tone defensively of what you are allowed to do offensively by the way they align and make the offense play a little bit left-handed. He really believes in challenging wide receivers at the line of scrimmage and he always says being able to dictate the daylight."
With the 3 p.m. kickoff at Auburn, that would mean dictating the daylight through twilight.

I have a bottle, but I'm afraid I'm not the guy to look to for notes. About all I can say is that it's definitely Balvenie, with a dry woodiness that lingers on the finish. A bit light in body, it seems to me, although that may be because I have very little else on the go at the moment that's 43%--lot o' cask strengths lying around the Midden Heap. That dryness seems to dominate, and might put some off, but I quite like it. Not my favorite Balvenie, but definitely interesting.
Well, that's more than I thought I'd tell you.

There is an excellent software (DOS) program published by IBM several years ago called the Mathematics Exploration Toolkit. It had "defer" programs with worksheets that students completed as part of the package. The basic idea was to give students a list of numbers and operations, with the goal of creating an expression using only those numbers and symbols, with any "grouping" symbols they wanted to reach the goal number. If you don't have access to the software, you can create your own. For example, using the four numbers 3, 8, 3 and 9, and only the four basic operations and appropriate grouping, create an expression that will give a target number of -7/3 . Good luck.

Family Law Attorney
You may want to consider getting a divorce so as to insulate yourself against claims that may be made against the marital estate. If he has truly abandoned you and you are unable to locate him, the court "may" allow you to serve him divorce papers by publication in the newspaper, to his last email account, facebook, etc. It is up to the court. By filing now achieving legal service, even if not personal service, you can set up a judgment against him for child support and clear the title to your property.

RFK's son sues NY nurses over maternity ward fight
Associated Press
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) – A son of the late Robert F. Kennedy who was acquitted of criminal charges in a maternity ward scuffle is suing two nurses who said on TV that he hurt them.
Douglas Kennedy is alleging defamation and malicious prosecution by nurses Cari Luciano and Anna Lane. He says their statements to police and on NBC's "Today" show held him up to "ridicule and scorn" and led to his prosecution.
The lawsuit, filed Friday in White Plains, stems from Kennedy's attempt a year ago to take his newborn son from Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco. He said he wanted the 2-day-old boy, Anthony Boru Kennedy, to get some fresh air.
The nurses objected, however, and tried to block his way, then claimed he hurt them. Luciano said Kennedy kicked her; Lane said he twisted her arm. They testified at his trial, which ended with his acquittal in November on charges of child endangerment and physical harassment.
The judge said that the baby was not in danger _ except from the nurses' actions _ and that Kennedy didn't demonstrate any intent to hurt them.
In addition to the defamation and malicious prosecution charges, Kennedy accuses Luciano of assaulting him. His wife, Molly, accuses the nurses and the hospital of inflicting emotional distress. She also blames the hospital for a breach of the privacy of her medical records. And both Kennedys accuse the hospital of custodial interference.
Kennedy's lawyer, Gary Douglas, said Tuesday, "The spirit and intent of this suit is, in part, to discourage further invasions of privacy and defamatory personal attacks."
The nurses sued Kennedy soon after the acquittal, seeking $200,000 and accusing him of negligence, assault and battery, and causing them emotional and physical distress.
Kennedy's lawsuit does not specify damages.
Elliot Taub, the nurses' lawyer, said the Kennedy suit is "a sham, baseless, and nothing other than his attempt at retaliation. It's his attempt to blame the victims."
Calls to the hospital weren't immediately returned.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — Apple Inc. has named Dixons Retail CEO John Browett as its top retail executive, charged with developing the sales strategy for the iPhone and iPad maker as it expands Apple stores around the world.
Browett will take on his new job as senior vice president of retail in April. He will report directly to Apple CEO Tim Cook, who took over after Apple co-founder and longtime CEO Steve Jobs died in October.
"Our retail stores are all about customer service, and John shares that commitment like no one else we've met," Cook said in a statement Tuesday.
Browett has served as CEO of Dixons Retail, a major European electronics retailer, since 2007. Dixons said that Browett will leave its board on Feb. 20 and will depart from the company on April 20. The company named Sebastian James as Group CEO and Katie Bickerstaffe to the newly created role of CEO-U.K. and Ireland.
Browett has also held several positions at the British retailer Tesco PLC and headed its web site operations.

I booked for a hotel in Donegal through Venere, got a confirmation e-mail to say we had been booked and when we arrived at the hotel after a 3 hour drive we found no booking had been made. Would never again book through this company. From now on will deal with chosen hotel. Don't bother!
