Stroke-Related Dementia (cont.)
Support Groups and Counseling
If you have vascular dementia, you know how difficult this can be. It affects every aspect of your life, including family relationships, work, financial status, social life, and physical and mental health. You feel the frustration of being disabled and dependent. You may feel angry, resentful, or hopeless.
Caregivers have similar feelings of frustration. If you are a caregiver, you may feel unable to cope with the demands of caring for a dependent, difficult relative. Besides the sadness of seeing the effects of your loved one's disease, you may feel overwhelmed, resentful, and angry. These feelings may in turn leave you feeling guilty, ashamed, and anxious. Depression is not uncommon, but it usually gets better with treatment.
Caregivers have different thresholds for tolerating these challenges. For many caregivers, just "venting" or talking about the frustrations of caregiving can be enormously helpful. Others need more, but may feel uneasy about asking for the help they need. One thing is certain, though: if you, as a caregiver, are given no relief, you can burn out, develop your own mental and physical problems, and become unable to care for the person with dementia.
This is why support groups were created. Support groups are groups of people who have lived through the same difficult experiences and want to help themselves and others by sharing coping strategies. Mental health professionals strongly recommend that family caregivers take part in support groups. Support groups serve a number of different purposes for a person living with the extreme stress of being a caregiver for a person with vascular dementia.
Support groups meet in person, on the telephone, or on the Internet. To find a support group that works for you, contact the following organizations. You can ask your health care provider, or go on the Internet. If you do not have access to the Internet, go to the public library.
For more information about support groups, contact the following agencies:

On his 95th pitch of the night, Roger Clemens darted off the mound and covered first base just in time to catch the relay throw from shortstop Adam Everett and complete a 3-6-1 double play on Joe Mauer. This old guy can still move pretty good.
Clemens got Michael Cuddyer to pop out of first base to end the inning. He's at 100 pitches, which manager Phil Garner said would likely be his limit. The bullpen is scurrying.

Last month, we reviewed two of the latest triumphs from the folks at DogChewz: stylish faux fur dog coats.
They sent along a third coat as well, which we decided to review this month to give it the space it deserved. Because it's a fab coat in its own right, minus the fur. :)
Designer striped fabric (in pinks, as shown, or also available in greens) is backed by soft pink Polartec fleece. That makes this coat ideal for winter, and also for cooler spring and fall days. We loved the color scheme - so vibrant! Merry turned heads everywhere she went.
The style is a basic velcro dog coat design, with velcro at the chest and below the belly. However, like the fur coats, this coat features a good, solid double strip of velcro at the chest (making it thicker, more durable and also warmer than the standard single-strip style). It also gives the coat a nice square look at the front that is very tailored, particularly with this striped material. Even the straps are backed with the fleece, ensuring that this coat is as cozy as the designer can make it.
In addition to a natty collar (with handy button hole just beneath to allow for a harness, if desired), the coat also features a single Swarovski crystal button at the waist on both sides of the coat. It's little touches like this that make these coats just that little bit more than others we've seen.
While Merry did enjoy the coat, let's be honest - she enjoyed the rest of the package from the folks at DogChewz far, far more. :)
Not one, not two, but the entire line of fabulous plush squeaky toys accompanied the coat!
We've gone on record before singing the praises of all these companies who are out there innovating cool, amusing, adorable toy designs for our pets. Seems long overdue indeed! And DogChewz is jumping right into the fray with their delicious dessert set of toys:
Dawgwich ice cream sandwich
Hoggin-Dawgs ice cream cone
Hoggin-Dawgs ice cream bar
Happy Birthday fudge cake
These toys aren't just well made. They're hilariously, cleverly designed. And frankly they look yummy enough to eat! It will certainly make our summer easier when munching on our own ice cream treats, to know the princess is well taken care of with her own chewy fun!
Honestly, the designs for these toys are just brilliant. The ruffle of fabric around the ice cream cone? Ingenious! The cording around the edges of the fudge cake, to simular roped icing? So clever. We were oohing and aahing over these in the office for long minutes.
They also make a super conversation piece for guests. Just trust us. :)
In addition to the dessert line, DogChewz also included dog toys for the tiny prince or princess. A crown toy (comes in blue too) that declares "Royal Tiny-ness" and a tiny, tiny pink bone that screams "Itty Bitty Bitch" are just perfect for the teacup princess in your life. Cute design, though we will say we wish the edges of the "crown" toy stood up a little better on their own (there's no reinforcement there, just a double layer of material). As is, the tips of the crown tend to flop over.
Adorable coat, and an absolutely incredible lineup of new dog toys means that, once again, DogChewz has wormed their way into our hearts. Way to go!

Naroda Patiya judgement rekindles the death penalty debate in India
The Naroda Patiya massacre in Ahemdabad on 28 February 2002 killed 97 Muslims. It is the massacre infamous for the gory stories of a pregnant woman disemboweled and raped, a 20 day child killed, and so on. If this massacre is not fit to be considered "rarest of the rare," what is?
It is ironical that the court found the kingpin of the massacre to be a woman, Dr Maya Kodnani, a practicing gynaecologist, a former Minister of State for Women and Child Welfare in the Narendra Modi government! The court came down particularly hard on her, commenting that as a legislator, a representative of the people she had done the opposite of what she was expected to: she helped kill people rather than save them. "She led the mob and incited them to violence. She abetted and supported the violent mob," the court observed.
However, special court judge Jyotsna Yagnik chose not to sentence the accused to death when he announced the sentencing on 1 September. Her court found 32 people guilty, of whom one is absconding. 7 will spend 31 years in jail, 22 will spend 24 years, Maya Kodnani 28 years and former Gujarat state Bajrang Dal president Babu Bajrangi is to live the rest of his life in jail.
Justice Yagnik – a brave judge whom the Gujarat government had transferred but was reinstated by the Supreme Court – said that capital punishment was against human dignity and that global trends were to avoid it.
As someone against death penalty, I am only too happy that a judge has given a judgement (.pdf here) like this. And I am happy that she has compensated this with extra years in jail- and in Babu Bajrangi's case, jail till natural death. I think that capital punishment should be abolished from Indian law, as the state has no right to take away anyone's life.
Killing a mass murderer is not going to bring back those he killed, and I do not understand how the cause of justice is served. The idea of justice is not revenge but to bring a sense of closure to the victims, not give them the gross feeling of revenge. Justice should be restorative, not retributive.
Making the legal process less cumbersome and time-consuming, making it more independent from the pressures of the government of the day, punishing police and investigation agencies found coming in the way of justice, are some measures that are going to be far more effective in preventing heinous crime than hanging people to death.
Sometimes, capital punishment is actually counter-productive. It has the potential of turning the accused into a martyr, which is then used by his or her defenders to spread his or her message. Hanging Babu Bajrangi is going to be used by some fanatics to make him into a hero in the cause of fanaticism and religious violence. Letting him rot in jail forever, is justice that will deny him a heroic halo.
Justice is about fairness, not about lynch mob mentality. And so when the Supreme Court upheld capital punishment for Ajmal Kasab, I was sickened to see the reactions by some in social media. Hang him now! they said. Why are we wasting the tax-payer's money keeping him alive? they asked.
They are not asking for justice but for the ghastly pleasure of seeing someone they hate being killed by their state. It is the same kind of vicarious pleasure that the 26/11 terrorists and the people behind them sought. So are we going to submit to the kind of base instincts that made Ajmal Kasab a terrorist? Unlike the nine others who were killed, Kasab was captured alive. But he, too, was prepared to be killed. Like all jihadis, he was probably told he will attain heaven. Ajmal Kasab's hanging is not going to deter other jihadis who are indoctrinated to die for a cause.
And that is why we should put Ajmal Kasab in jail until he dies a natural death, just like Babu Bajrangi. Rotting in jail knowing you are never going to be a free man again is worse than the finality of death. The punishment for crimes against humanity should be in this world and not the next. And if we assert that these criminals have committed acts that are inhuman, our moral right to justice cannot be fulfilled if our justice is the inhumanity of murder.
The only thing that will not be achieved by their hanging is that we will not get to clap and cheer as the noose tightens, which is what some of us really want to do. Like barbarians, like the Taliban. It is unfortunate that in the Afzal Guru case the Supreme Court almost succumbed to such emotions of retributive justice when it noted that sentencing him to death would satisfy "the collective conscience of the [sic] society". This, even as the evidence against Guru is thin and circumstantial.
If tax-payer's money is to be saved let's abandon the criminal justice system as a whole and keep hanging people summarily. Incidentally, the people who want Ajmal Kasab hanged right away, do not want Babu Bajrangi and Maya Kodnani hanged. I don't understand this double standard and hypocrisy. Both killed people, lots of them. In fact Kasab's crime is lesser: he was not a mastermind like Kodnani and Bajrangi but a pawn. An MLA conspiring to kill the people she represents is definitely "rarer" than a Pakistani terrorist coming to India and killing Indians.
I am not saying that Kodnani and Bajrangi should be hanged, rather that nobody should ever be hanged, for anything. The hypocrisy in a section of public opinion is proof that capital punishment is less about justice and more about retribution. But there are more reasons why India should abolish capital punishment.
Those given capital punishment in India often come from poor, marginalised or minority communities. This makes people say that the rich, the mainstream and those from majority community are treated with leniency. While I appreciate and second Justice Yagnik's argument that death sentence is against human dignity, I am only saying that the Indian criminal justice system should apply this logic as a whole, in all cases deemed "rarest of the rare". The criminal justice system as a whole should not only treat everyone equally but also be seen as treating everyone equally. The Naroda Patiya judgement will certainly seem unjust to the 11 who have been given death sentence for the Godhra train carnage.
When the perpetrators of the gruesome Khairlanji massacre, in which a Dalit family was lynched to death by a whole village in Maharashtra in 2006, were not given death sentence, it made people ask: why does the system become lenient with punishment when the victims are Dalit? Such alienation and politics over capital punishment can be avoided only if it capital punishment is abolished from the statute book.
Another good reason why capital punishment should be abolished is that in case a judegement is erroneous, in case someone is being convicted on the basis of, say, concocted evidence, the mistake cannot be reversed. A man in jail can be freed but a man murdered can't be brought back to life. The mistake can also be one of the judges' interpretation of what constitutes "rarest of the rare". And given the number of riots and pogroms and terrorist activities we have in this country is the "rarest of the rare" really all that rare?
Fourteen eminent retired judges have recently written to President Pranab Mukherjee asking him to commute the death sentences of 13 convicts because the Supreme Court recently admitted that seven of its judgements giving those 13 capital punishment were made in error or ignorance (rendered per incuriam)! The Supreme Court has also admitted error in giving death sentence to Ravji Rao and Surja Ram of Rajasthan, who were hanged in 1996 and 1997. Could there be greater injustice in the name of justice?

yes death penalty must go. But a lot more has to happen. The archaic prison system must be replaced with a real correction system. Lesser crimes must be punished with community based correction. Within prisons too, there are a number of changes that need to happen so that all opportunities are provided to the convicts to be released as better human beings.

Yes. If what Ajmal Kasab did was brutal and cold blooded we know there is a big story behind how young men like him get caught up in situations like this and become the people they become. To me what is sickening is how ordinary human beings who are supposed to be humane and caring react to situations.When Osama bin laden was killed the video of his death was being passed around Facebook. What sick minds do we have that make us revel in another beings death. How sick that we do not offer him the dignity of death. What makes us believe we are good and another person evil. When hapless labourers get pulled off a triain and get beaten up by another group of misguided young people nobody says a word. People only laugh? If Ajmal Kasab is killed will it bring back those who died? Will it sort out the root cause of the problem ? Blood will be spilled. His hands or our hands that will be the only difference. What makes it right that the blood is on our hands?
Yes. Truly a commendable judgement. A special salutation to those brave people who lived through such horror and showed great courage and resilience to testify. And to the people who were their support and courage.
September 6, 2012 11:58 AM
Why should the tax paying, law abiding citizens of India have to bear the financial burden of keeping hardened criminals like Kasab alive? There are no correctional system in the entire world, which may actually "correct"/"change for better" the likes of him. There should be a mechanism to deal with such threats to the society as a whole. Unfortunately, death penalty, as of today, seems to be the only available alternative.
Vishu Gulati permalinkSeptember 6, 2012 12:59 PM
letting terrorists rot in prison , so that another plane can be hijacked and state can be ransomed for the lives of its citizens. They are getting what they deserve, even a death sentence falls short of justice in kasab's case
Prince Khan permalinkSeptember 6, 2012 2:43 PM
The capital punishment in India often come from poor, marginalised or minority communities. This is an ample example of hypocrisy of judge or Judicial Department. Because those who are belongs from poor, marginalise or minority communities are not able to give them a huge amount of bribe. We all are well aware that the Masterpiece of a violence, massacre, serial blast, rule broker etc belonging from rich family (whether they are actor, politician, MP, MLA, MINISTER) are still not getting any capital punishment. Even those people are still not highlighted by media.
suresh permalinkSeptember 6, 2012 7:20 PM
Abolition of Capital Punishment is not solely a question of ethics, though that is undoubtedly there. It is also a question of economics. Keeping people in jail is costly — one estimate for the UK is that it costs about 50,000 pounds to imprison someone for a year. This is more than the median income for the UK.
Historically, I suppose that is why most societies did not resort to imprisonment until fairly recently. For instance, one is struck by the range of crimes that carried capital punishment in 19th century Britain. Even crimes like shoplifting carried the death penalty, something that would sound absurd to us. Even in our current age, it is precisely because imprisonment is costly that bail is typically awarded to an accused (unless the charges are very serious or there is a fear that the accused may flee or tamper with the evidence).
I am not suggesting that we retain capital punishment. I am only noting that this issue has other dimensions besides ethics and as a society, we cannot ignore those other dimensions. As Gunasekar notes in his comment, we cannot discuss the abolition of capital punishment in isolation. It has to be discussed in the context of reform of the entire penal system.
September 6, 2012 8:01 PM
Were the people who burned alive 59 persons in the Sabarmati Express given death sentence ? If they were, then the Naroda Patiya accused should also be given the same. Both were horrifying incidents and were related to each other in some way. Activists should maintain balance if the y want to be taken seriously.
Zarbux permalinkSeptember 8, 2012 4:30 PM
All of them were sentenced to be hanged. None of the rioters as yet are given capital punishment.
lakshmi dwivedi permalinkSeptember 6, 2012 10:31 PM
I do agree with many of the issues raised but I still feel in some cases death sentence is required as it can serve as future deterent esp for crimes like honour killings, fake encounters dowry deaths etc. Many people, due to fear of being caught and subsequently due to fear of dying, may not resort to such gruesome crimes.
Nitye permalinkSeptember 6, 2012 11:56 PM
I cannot help but think this article is slightly hypocritical.
"Justice should be restorative, not retributive."
"Rotting in jail knowing you are never going to be a free man again is worse than the finality of death"
Let us take a look at the nature of crime and punishment from a larger perspective.
When, in any given society, a person is considered to have behaved in an unacceptable way, he or she is punished for it.
And through hundreds of years of evolution of society, we've come to a broad consensus of whats acceptable and whats not. Now, when someone commits a crime, they are "quarantined" from society, and spend a specific amount of time in a correctional facility so that they me be successfully rehabilitated into society.
Keeping this in mind, it only makes sense to serve the death sentence to those people who can never be rehabilitated (in the eyes of the law). Any sensible society would put such people to death, and not waste money and resources keeping them alive for decades. Not to sound too extreme, but logically speaking all life imprisonment sentences should be death sentences.
The primary purpose of the justice system is not to make the victims feel better (or provide closure), but it is to strive towards the betterment of society, by rehabilitating criminals who can be rehabilitated, and getting rid of those who can't. By trying to sit on the fence, and arguing in terms of morality and humanity, and worrying about enraging one community or the other, we are only choosing to turn a blind eye to the inconvenient yet real role of the justice system in society.
And as far as the author's last point is considered, if the courts don't have faith in their own judgments, then what is the value of any sentence served to anyone?
Ajith Kumar a s permalinkSeptember 7, 2012 8:55 AM
Let me share my Facebook status regarding this topic :-
Chronicle of a death penalty Foretold
Everything about Ajmal kasab happened as expected. The state wants to kill him. Patriots want to kill him. The only thing needed was a judicial sanction. Everyone is pushed to a place where a question is impossible –is it right to kill kasab? Now Kasab's life hangs somewhere in the midst of the discourses on the "enmity" between the two nations, and the unquestionable ideas about nation hood, patriotism, terrorism, communalism etc. even if we talk against kasab's death penalty from a abolitionist position the question would be "are you speaking against your own country ?'"Are you trying to save the life of someone who tried to kill the people of your nation? "So the humanists who always speak against killing have no problems with killing someone just because he/she belongs to a foreign country or what they say an "enemy country". Questions whether death penalty is right or wrong or whether a man/woman would get justice from a foreign country is pushed out of the debate .the only thing that remains would be the jingoistic cry for killing. The killing would be justified within the theory of war. Here the court firmly asserts that it is a state apparatus.
In this context I find it is a terrible logic to compare Kasab's case with Naroda Patia case. On online space there was many who asked why there was no death penalty for the convicts of Naroda patia. It's too dangerous logic. The history of death penalty itself tells us it was always biased. Race and caste determined the victims of this form of state murder. The need of the hour would be to attack the very foundation of the idea of death penalty than asking why death penalty was not given for some other cases.

The surname Serpa was first found in Milan (Italian: Milano, Milanese: Milan), the second-most populous city in Italy and the capital of Lombardy. The two palaces in the Piazza del Duomo, Palazzo Reale and the palace of the archbishops are notable. The city is rich in art, museums, galleries and sights. Castello Sforzesco stands in the Parco. In those ancient times only persons of rank, the podesta, clergy, city officials, army officers, artists, landowners were entered into the records. To be recorded at this time, at the beginning of recorded history, was of itself a great distinction and indicative of noble ancestry.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Serpentino, Serponte, Serpin, Serpents, Seripando, Serpa, Serpillius, Serpintino, Serpente and many more.

Hearts captain Marius Zaliukas faces a race against time to be fit for Thursday's Europa League play-off second leg at Liverpool after a thigh injury flared up during their goalless draw against Aberdeen.
Zaliukas was replaced at half-time at Pittodrie and manager John McGlynn admitted after the game that the Lithuanian defender was a major concern for the Anfield trip.
"He picked up a thigh injury against Inverness Caley and had to take a jag (painkilling injection) before the match against Liverpool on Thursday and again (before this game)," he said. "Leading up to half-time he felt it again so we thought it was best to take him off."
McGlynn added: "We will just have to wait and see how he progresses through the week to see whether or not he will be available for Thursday."
Aberdeen dominated proceedings at Pittodrie but it was the visitors who almost stole all three points when Andrew Driver struck the woodwork in stoppage time.
McGlynn said: "If we had scored that one at the end it would have felt like we had mugged them. It would have been daylight robbery.
"We would have taken it but that's how crazy football is as we had our backs to the wall for long spells and had to defend really well. I think it would have been very harsh had we walked away with all three points."
Aberdeen manager Craig Brown has an injury concern of his own after seeing left-back Gary Naysmith hobble off with a hamstring injury.
He said: "He is despondent as he thinks he could be out for a while. I think three games in a week, including extra time, took its toll on Gary."
Brown added: "I was very proud of the team. It took us 25 minutes or so to get bedded in but for the last hour or so I thought we were the dominant team. I think had we lost the goal at the end it would have been a real travesty. I can't fault the team in any way apart from the lack of goals."

Class credit for real-world experience: BPC's Spring Break in Belarus
By Kelley M. Arnold
BPC Director of News and Public Information
MOUNT VERNON—Instead of taking a break from school during Spring Break 2007 (March 2-11), four BPC students stayed in school – well, almost. "School" may have been almost 5,200 miles away, but it was still school.
These juniors and seniors attended a five-day, seven-hour-a-day combined class session with students at Minsk Theological Seminary in Belarus. The course, taught by BPC Religion & Philosophy chair, Dr. Hal Ostrander, as part of a college spring mission trip, gave both BPC students and the Belarusian seminary students a chance to not only earn college credit (3 hours of credit for BPC students) but to learn valuable lessons and insights into differing world views.
"As far as apologetics is concerned, these students will be better able to defend what they believe (from this course), but being able to utilize that in another nation with an altogether different world view than ours gives them a completely new, exciting experience. It's both knowledge and experiential," said Dr. Ostrander. "Also, having been somewhere else and experiencing what they did, it will help them all the more here in their life's work, whether that's ministry or something else."
During the day, the Russian and English-speaking students worked together on class assignments in mixed groups with interpreters. They also challenged each other in debates about aspects of their faith. Other course requirements were to write two book reviews, keep a journal and take a final exam on Friday, the last day of class.
"The camaraderie that developed by the end of the week between the Belarusians and our students was pretty remarkable," said Dr. Ostrander. "They connected as brothers and sisters in Christ; it was a unique experience. It makes you realize there is this universal body of Christ. Wherever you go in the world, God has his people there."
In Belarus, the government tolerates the Baptist faith but thinks of it as a "cult", grouping it together with the Mormon and Jehovah Witness movements, explains Dr. Ostrander. The Minsk Theological Seminary is the only evangelical Christian seminary in the nation of Belarus, and it has been "sanctioned" by the government as "safe".
Senior Kasey Lewis saw the class experience as a needed witnessing tool to "enable the people there with answers to defend their faith when nonbelievers presented questions or doubts to them."
After class ended for the day, BPC students also visited with other college-age students who wanted to learn "better English but who weren't saved", said Dr. Ostrander. These students were from another college in an English-as-a-second-language-course. Monday through Wednesday night about three or four of these students, mostly females, would meet with BPC's group and go out to dinner – at McDonalds. One night, senior Becky Barnes, an early childhood education major, got the rare opportunity to share her testimony with one of the young ladies.
"One of the questions I asked her, in talking about her life and culture, was 'Do you go to church?' She asked me if I meant Christian, which means Russian Orthodox to her, or Baptist. I said I was just curious. She said that she went to the Baptist but only because she wanted to learn English. I didn't ask her anymore about her faith because I didn't want to press her, but she brought up my faith two more times."
A new Baptist church is being built in a village west of Minsk, Belarus. Only 1 percent of the nation is evangelical Christian, and the Baptist faith is considered a "cult" by the government.
In the end, Barnes was asked by the young woman to explain the difference between Barnes' faith and what her peers, and 99 percent of the country, as Russian Orthodox, believe. Essentially,
Barnes put her class experience to a real-life test.
"That shows you God was working. She kept asking me questions," said Barnes. "And I answered her. I did ask her if she would like me to get her a Bible, but she said no in the end."
The experience on this trip has encouraged Barnes in both her faith and her career plans. She decided "just after this trip" to pursue an international church planting masters degree in seminary, and eventually return to Belarus to serve in their small evangelical Christian community.
"There aren't people in Belarus claiming that they can cast out demons like here in the U.S., but the devil doesn't need that to cause confusion. The structure of their religion breeds ignorance. It's a war. I feel like they need workers (missionaries) even more," added Barnes.
Other students attending the course/trip were senior Christian studies major and pastor of Blockhouse Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Ga., William Kilpatrick; and, junior ministry major Kimberly Kline, who describes the experience as "the best week of her life."
To learn more about the annual mission/course trip, contact Dr. Ostrander at (912) 583-3116 or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire police records say a 34-year-old former Portsmouth school district technology department employee used a computer to try to lure a 14-year-old girl for sex.
Kenneth Kimber, of Portsmouth, was fired from his job last month. He is facing a variety of charges.
The Portsmouth Herald (http://bit.ly/VhecEJ ) is citing a police complaint that alleges Kimber sent sexually explicit photos of himself to the girl on Feb. 4 and Feb. 9. He's also alleged to have contacted her via social media and invited her to have sex.
Kimber is free on bail. He's scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Portsmouth. It's not clear if he has an attorney.
Police say the case remains under investigation by the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Thursday folks, and we're hitting the #YB11 Mailbag. Last week things were quite hectic, but we did not forget about you. I'm going to pull some old questions, throw in some new questions and give everyone answers because I'm all about the people.
"@inthebleachers: i've got a couple spots left open for questions, send them in on CFB and I'll get them answered folks."how will Aub finish— don hickmam (@carolina3347) October 11, 2012
When this question was asked, Auburn still had a shot to beat Ole Miss. Well, that's passed now and is another L for the Tigers. Looking at the schedule, it's hard to imagine Auburn going to a bowl game. It still has dates with Texas A&M, Georgia and Alabama on the schedule. Hell, beating Vanderbilt is not a given for this team.
I think it wins two more games this year: New Mexico State and Alabama A&M. That'll bring it to three for the season, and folks will be so disappointed. Personally, I'd give Gene Chizik more time because I think he's redoing the rebuild job from scratch this year. He got a little into the process, then changed directions with the departures of Ted Roof and Gus Malzahn. That change of directions means he's got to teach kids how to play a different brand of football, and that transition isn't easy.
However, odds are, because Alabama is basically being the worst rival ever and just Hulk smashing everything, Auburn will fire Chizik and have to start from scratch all over again.
@inthebleachers An early mailbag question. Why in the hell is AU running the wildcat so much with Wallace? Why not just give Mason the ball?— Chris Miller (@millec8) October 13, 2012
Honestly, I have no clue. Tre Mason is the only legitimate, reliable form of offense that the Tigers have, and I guess Scot Loeffler is trying to create some deception with the freshman quarterback. If I'm the Tigers, I sack up, give Mason the ball more straight up the gut and off-tackle and everything that the offensive line can block. Let Onterio McCalebb spell Mason and use play-action passes and roll outs to keep teams honest.
@inthebleachers Is Duke's success this year in the ACC a blip, or a trend that you think will continue? #YB11— Jon Grice (@Grice_Is_Right) October 11, 2012
Duke is better than it was a few years ago. David Cutcliffe has got some talent into the program, and it is playing a brand of football that is conducive to the players it has. Jela Duncan is just a freshman. Anthony Boone and Brandon Connette are just sophomores, as is Jamison Crowder. That said, Duke is going to be interesting to watch going forward because after losing to Virginia Tech, the road doesn't get easier.
Between North Carolina, Georgia Tech and Miami, the Blue Devils have to find a win. Clemson and Florida State sit on the schedule as massive road blocks that, compared to the other three games, appear to be insurmountable.
As for their future, they'll continue to have quality ball players. The question is, can they put it all together to break through this "ceiling" that they've had recently. Duke's not the only team getting better, and for the Blue Devils, it will be about whether or not they can pull closer to the pack before the pack pulls away from them.
@inthebleachers Who is the next undefeated team to fall?— Patti Jones (@DrPattiJones) October 11, 2012
Last week, when you asked me this, I was totally going to pick West Virginia. I would have been right, for the record. Now, I'll fast forward to this week and ask myself the same question...Cincinnati.
Why? Well, next weekend, I think Mississippi State loses to Alabama. I also think Washington has a shot to beat Oregon State. So that could be two undefeateds going down on Saturday.
However, Cincinnati plays Louisville on Friday night. Enter the whole "win on a technicality" thing. As long as no undefeated teams lose this week, we'll have an unbeaten match up Friday that will see the Cardinals or the Bearcats lose. I'm going with Cincinnati in that matchup.
@inthebleachers Football question for you. Is It true that rushing the ball early wears a defense out?— James Briggs (@fighting4jesus) October 17, 2012
Football question! But there's more:
@inthebleachers Could it also be true that throwing the football and forcing a team to rush the quarterback will also wear them out?— James Briggs (@fighting4jesus) October 17, 2012
So that's the whole question.
Running the ball early most certainly wears on a defense; if you're doing the right type of running. Draws and delays and whatnot are not going to "grind down" a defense. But power-O, iso, traps, zone runs and the like will absolutely do that. Especially if the guy toting the ball is either giving out punishment or you have a stable of backs to bring fresh legs in against weary defenders.
Watch LSU, Florida, Alabama or Stanford play a football game, and you'll see what I mean. Middle of the third and into the fourth quarter, you have defenders with hands on hips, guys slow to get up off the ground and players who are tired of getting their behind whipped at the point of contact.
Here's the "Oregon-Arizona-Spread Run" Caveat. Those teams wear you down too. Not by physically beating on you, but rather, the tempo, coupled with chasing people all game, is a killer when it comes to fatigue. You're not beat up like you are against Alabama, but you're exhausted. Think of it like the difference between getting punched in the face in a boxing ring for 12 rounds versus running a marathon; both ways exhaust people.
As for the second part about passing, it depends on defensive line depth and who is seeing success. If you've got bodies to rotate in, rushing the passer is a non-issue in the long run. They alternate series, come in situationally and spell one another when the fist goes up into the air. If you lack depth, this strategy could work, a little, but ultimately, pass rushing is a lot easier than playing run on a play-by-play basis.
Now, where success is concerned, if the offense is humming, legs get heavy quick for defenders. When you can't stop the opposition, you are prone to exhaustion and a bit of the loser's limp. On the flip side, if you're getting sacks, they're throwing errant passes, and all of a sudden, you can run after the quarterback for days.
Just ask Texas Tech.

The Holeshot SX has been carefully designed and painstakingly developed to dominate on hard-packed motocross tracks. Key to this process was the extensive input of several National-caliber race teams and riders, who specifically requested a tire that could excel on this type of MX course. The drier, slicker and faster the track surface - a very common condition in today's racing environment - the greater an advantage the Holeshot SX rider will enjoy.
- Reinforced carcass that minimizes stretching while maintaining a flat profile, thus providing consistent feel and performance without a sacrifice in ride comfort.
- New "RR" tread compound has been formulated, and after extensive testing has proven to provide unmatched hard pack performance as well as surprisingly long tire life (getting more motos out of a set of tires was a primary goal).
- SX tread pattern uses more tightly spaced knobs to increase the tire contact patch, while the redesigned knobs themselves have been laterally sipped (thinly cut) to yield twice the number of biting edges than any Holeshot tire that's come before.
- Shoulder knobs utilize a new tapered shape that offers greater control during corner transitions.
- Tire ply: 2.

Lenovo ThinkPad T440s Review
By January 16, 2014reviewed
Table of Contents
Introduction & Design
Long before Lenovo claimed top rank among the world's PC makers, ThinkPad laptops were a staple of the business world. Thanks to their best-in-class keyboards, stellar ergonomics, and trademark red pointing sticks, ThinkPads are widely regarded as the business notebooks to beat.
The $1,309 ThinkPad T440s continues this winning tradition with a brand-new, energy-efficient "Haswell" Core i5 processor, a lightweight carbon-fiber and magnesium chassis, and a gorgeous 1,920x1,080-pixel touch screen. Moreover, all of the components we've come to expect from ThinkPads are here, including Lenovo's award-winning AccuType keyboard, a responsive touch pad, and a battery strong enough to get you through a workday—a 15-hour workday, if you opt for the larger of two available batteries. It all adds up to the premier business laptop now on the market.
At first glance, the ThinkPad T440s looks nearly identical to its predecessor, the ThinkPad T431s. The notebook sports an all-black, durable design with a carbon fiber lid and magnesium bottom that proved resistant to fingerprint smudges. Like the T431s, the T440s features a minimalist aesthetic, adorned only by an embossed Lenovo logo in the upper right corner of the lid and a silver ThinkPad logo in the upper left (the "i" in "ThinkPad" pulses red when the notebook is asleep).
A narrow, glossy black bezel frames the notebook's 14-inch full HD display. A 720p Webcam is centered above the screen, and the flexible hinges allow you to lay the display completely flat. A silver Lenovo logo is located below the screen in the lower left corner of the bezel.
In addition to its durable materials, the T440s features a roll-cage design that protects the chassis from sudden impacts. Lenovo also subjected the notebook to military-specification testing for ruggedness, meaning that the ThinkPad can withstand extremes of temperature, humidity, vibration, and blowing dust.
Despite its sturdy design, the notebook feels quite light in hand. Weighing 3.5 pounds and measuring just 0.8-inch thick, the T440s is a hair lighter than the T431s (3.6 pounds) and the Fujitsu Lifebook E743 (3.74 pounds). The ThinkPad Edge E431 is significantly heftier at 0.98 inch thick and 4.7 pounds, while the svelte Dell Latitude E7240 measures just 0.79 inch thick and 2.99 pounds. Subjectively, we barely noticed the weight of the notebook (and its tiny power adapter) as we carried it around in our backpack.
Of course, the ThinkPad series is renowned for its industry-leading AccuType keyboards, and the T440s is no exception. The spacious deck provided plenty of room for our wrists, and the magnesium build proved surprisingly comfortable during prolonged use. The backlit island-style keyboard is virtually free of flex, and the slightly concave keys offer plenty of travel and tactile feedback. A fingerprint reader can be also be found just to the right of the keyboard.
The notebook boasts discrete keys for volume control, brightness, and Wi-Fi on/off. Better still, Lenovo provided unique keys for Windows 8 functions and menus, including Settings, Search, Switch Applications, and View All Apps. Our only nitpick is that Lenovo placed the Fn key to the left of the Control key—the reverse of almost every other notebook we've used. As a result, we frequently pressed the Fn key when we tried to execute keyboard shortcuts.

Account Number: Never had an account number
PIN: Never had a PIN
I never had a Sprint Account. I never have, do not currently have, and never will have an account with Sprint. I did not authorize anyone person or company to open this account.
I demand the following:
To see any communication used in the processing of this dispute.
That all communication be in writing - no phone calls.
To see something with my signature on it that created the alleged debt.
A full itemization of all charges and a full account history.
To see proof that you are legally entitled to collect on said debt and that you are licensed in my state to do debt collections.
Now, as I understand, until this debt is properly validated, all collection efforts must cease.
I will send a letter to the collection agency(s) that is involved. I will also send a letter to all Credit Bureaus.
I Never had a Sprint Account
I do not, never have, and now never will have an account with Sprint. The only cell phone accounts I have had is with Quest, AT&T, then Verizon which all have treated me fairly.
In 2006 a collection agency (Diversified) mailed me a bill for ~$860.00 regarding a Sprint account. I called the agency and was greeted by a representative that was incredibly rude, unreasonable, very demanding, and accusatory. The representative stated that I made this account at a Radio Shack store in Colorado at 09:00 P.M. in 2004 and that they have been trying to contact me for many years. I have never been in Colorado, do not have any relatives or friends there, do not know anyone there, never purchased a cell phone account at Radio Shack.... I moved from Oregon to Arizona in 2003 and immediately made a change of address with the post office and received a new drivers license at the Motor Vehicle Division. The should have been able to easily locate me with a simple search.
The collection agency continues to make phone calls to my Verizon cell phone and ask for payment to the account. I always state that I will not pay on an account that I did not create. Sprint continues to refuse to help me solve this problem. They have mail me forms to fill out with information regarding this case. I filled them out to the best of my knowledge and sent them back certified mail, return receipt requested. I have repeated this action three times without any results and without any comments from the company.
I thought that this problem would have a statue of limitation. So, after many attempts to solve this problem I gave up trying and thought someday it would go away. Later, I tried to make a big purchase and was refuse due to a bad credit report. I discovered that Sprint and their collection agencies can continue to make harassing phone calls and continue to ding my credit score forever - there is no statute of limitation on it.
I am not a fighter, so I still feel like giving up but do not know how this will effect my future.

Like a boss
I had to parallel park and did fine.
Damn haha. I dislike parallel parking very much.
I'm glad I don't have to go downtown that often.
Well seeing as im not a woman I have no issues parking
I have a vagina but I also happen to be good at it.. must have been taught well
Its all about how you cut it...has to be just right
Grew up in a country town. All we had to do was 3 point turns. But, being a man, I can parallel park fine.
The last time Ihad to take my test here in Charlotte, they did away with the Parrallel parking part. Now you have to do a 3 point turn when the instructor springs it on you.
0/ I'll raise my hand. I can't do it.
I will never understand why people don't know how to fuggin drive, let alone not know how to park their cars. U shouldn't have a license if u can't parallel park.
I did good on my driving test, didnt hit the curb or cars. im from a small town where everyones got driveways and parkinglots, now i live in the city and thats all there is is parallel parking
Parallel parking has nothing to do with regular driving, though.
Anyway, it's not overly difficult but I don't like it.

The Detroit Cobras
Price: $15
When: Ended 05/16/13
Where: Triple Rock Social Club
A band that would've been a good fit for the Girls Got Rhythm Fest, the Detroit Cobras are back on the road pounding out their classic '60s soul-rock sound, fueled by frontwoman Rachel Nagy's smoky howl of a voice. The Motor City band hasn't put out a new record since 2007's "Tied & True," but no matter. They have a treasure trove of obscure blues, soul and R&B nuggets. L'Assassins and Blue Ruin open.

After discovering the admin themes, I think it'd be cool to be able to easily switch between them.
Tiger is cool enough to be a plugin so you don't have to replace any files, but it shows up in the plugins list of course, mixed in.
I'm thinking like either a style picker (exactly like the Presentation page and the templates folder), except for the admin panel.
And while I'm at it, it'd be cool to have it as a per-user setting. Hell, I bet all of this could even be a plugin to add these options.
Anyone wanna take this on, or take this on with me? I don't have enough experience to do this alone, but I'd be willing to help if someone doesn't want to do this on their own.

CURRENT RESIDENTS SAY THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH, THEY WANT THE DEVELOPERS TO RE-DESIGN THE PROJECT. THEY PLAN TO SPEAK OUT DURING A PLANNING BOARD MEETING TONIGHT AT CITY HALL. Jeri Schroeder/East End Resident "My husband and I were walking up here the other day and remembering none of these buildings were here. It just seemed much more open, and friendly. Brick is covering it up. It's too much, too many people, too many cars." Lindsey Clarke/Newbury Street Resident "People who live here, work here are interested in historic brick buildings that look nice and we're really not interest in more bland, tall buildings that lack the character that pays respect to the historic nature of the neighborhood."

把 – Ba3 – Hold, Grasp
把戲 – Ba3 Xi4 – Hold Trick — Juggle
Recognize that? It's Eric Graham's world famous Juggler demo, for the Amiga. (Only Amiga Makes It Possible™) A reasonable animated GIF of this was one of those things that HAD TO exist, but didn't, so I created it. Actually it was easy starting from Ernie Wright's AVI version. Unfortunately converting to a GIF limits it to a paltry 256 colors, falling far short of the orignal's 4,096 color Hold-And-Modify glory.
My conscience forces me to mention that 把 also plays an important role in Chinese grammar, but I'm not going to explain it to you. Instead I'm going to blast you with this 28 page PDF that contains passages like these:
In Mandarin Chinese, there is a construction sometimes referred to as simply the ba construction. It is one of the most famous constructions in the grammar of Chinese and has attracted the attention of almost every linguist interested in the grammar of Chinese. However, it has also consistently eluded a satisfactory analysis. [...] It would be impossible, within the limits of this work, to do justice to the complexity of this construction and the rich, endless literature on this topic if we aim for a comprehensive presentation of the properties, problems and past analyses and a detailed and extensive review of the published works. In order to at least provide an understanding of the complexities, we will, therefore, …
Have fun.
