It sounds looney, but it is all true
Published: Saturday, May 24, 2008 at 5:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 24, 2008 at 5:02 p.m.
To The Editor: If just seven years ago, in my wildest 1984 fantasy, I predicted we'd be blatantly lied into wars with nonthreatening nations, our secretary of state addressing the United Nations with fabrications, denying habeas corpus rights, spying on Americans, Supreme Court allowing the unconstitutional Patriot Act, highest level people secretly authorizing torture, you'd have called me insane.
You'd have said Congress, the liberal media and decent people everywhere would rise up.
Likewise, if I'd predicted four commercial aircraft would be simultaneously hijacked with failed responses from the trillion dollar network whose sole function is taking action, three massive skyscrapers would perfectly, uniformly explode mid-air, with orders immediately given that no investigation occur because, clearly, cave dwellers in Afghanistan managed all this, you'd have escorted me tot he looney bin.
Welcome Republican Arizona State Sen. Karen Johnson, singer Willie Nelson and former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura to the very long list of notable patriots publicly questioning 9/11.
Also thanks to the many Canadians organizing a march on Ottawa this Sept. 11 demanding independent investigations.
Another prediction. The "Ministry of Truth" will continue being too busy with the war on terror for any 9/11 news.

Forest Fire Severity Assessment Using ALS Data in a Mediterranean Environment
AbstractMediterranean pine forests in Spain experience wildland fire events with different frequencies, intensities, and severities which result in diverse socio-ecological consequences. In order to predict fire severity, spectral indices derived from remotely sensed images have been used extensively. Such spectral indices are usually used in combination with ground sampling to relate detected radiometric changes to actual fire effects. However, the potential of the tridimensional information captured by Airborne Laser Scanners (ALS) to severity mapping has been less explored. With the objective of addressing this question, in this paper, explanatory variables extracted from ALS point clouds are related to field estimations of the Composite Burn Index collected in four fires located in Aragón (Spain). Logistic regression models were developed and statistically tested and validated to map fire severity with up to 85.5% accuracy. The canopy relief ratio and the percentage of all returns above one meter height were the most significant variables and were therefore used to create a continuous map of severity levels.

Shari Hill
An Hephzibah mom arrested Monday for leaving her 3-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter at home alone had an excuse: She had to get to work and didn't have a babysitter.
Shari Hill, 27, was charged with two counts of contributing to the deprivation of a minor, according to a report by the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.
A tipster notified DFACS about the unsupervised children at the home on Pebble Creek Drive, and the social worker notified deputies. The DFACS worker called the children's mother, who came home and told the officer she had to be to work at Verizon at 3 p.m. and had no one to watch the children.
The two children were turned over to their grandmother and Hill was arrested. She remains in jail today under a $7,000 bond.

Beyond the Boards: Mar. 7
Wednesday, 03.7.2007 / 12:00 AM ET / News
Buffalo Sabres | Press Release
3.7.07, 11:52 p.m. :::: BUSY, BUSY, BUSY DAY
I'm going to be quick today because I'm super busy...
1) Ales Kotalik skated for the first time this morning. Things went well and you could potentially see him back in a week or so.
2) Jaroslav Spacek wore a black jersey and participated in the morning skate. It was a light workout, as all practices are on game days, and he's about a week away from returning also.
NOTE: If you're looking for more injury stuff, scan down. I went through all the guys a couple of days ago (March 5)
3) There's no doubt. Drury is in the lineup tonight and will resume his usual duties. No easy night for him.
3.6.07, 3:38 p.m. :::: YOUTUBE OF THE DAY
So I was cruising around YouTube and found this video, which has all the elements of a decent NHL Hits/Knockouts video.
1) Good soundtrack -- Drowning Pool, "Bodies"
2) Music is synced pretty well with the hits
3) Opens with two of my favorite Sabres moments from last season.
Some of the video quality is not the greatest, but it works.
Also solid...

3.6.07, 12:57 p.m. :::: JOKING AROUND
I wasn't covering the locker room today so this is going to be my only post. I've still got a couple of things for you though.
First, it was pretty funny to watch Lindy chirp Danius Zubrus today. Following practice, a bunch of guys were lined up on the blueline in a one-on-one with Ty Conklin (today's guest on the podcast which is why I wasn't covering the room). Each skater would take a slapshot and then cut through the slot for a close-range opportunity.
Lindy took his slapper low, glove side and tried to do the Crosby leg lift on his second shot. He was stuffed both times.
Zubrus followed and Conklin was up to the challenge again.
When Zubrus got back to the blueline, Lindy shouts, "I think I looked better than you." Lindy loves to give out abuse in a joking manner.
One other little "did you know"... Daniel Briere numbers his sticks. There are two numbers right on the handle written on the tape. The top is his 48. The number right below that is the stick's number. The numbers I saw ranged between 39 and 50.
He uses those numbers to keep track of how much he uses each stick and to designate certain sticks for certain situations. It's not exactly the "Wonder Boy" bat in The Natural but it's close.
3.5.07, 3:40 p.m. :::: HE'S BACK... CONTINUED AGAIN
Zubrus made a comment about him and Drury sitting next to each other so they might as well get used to skating together. That got me wondering how many people actually know the locker room layout.
So here it is... We don't have an unlimited number of stalls; so injured players are replaced by call-ups. Each stall's previous occupant is in parentheses. These are all listed from left to right when you are looking at the lockers.
North wall -- Stereo | Big-screen TV | Dry erase board
South wall -- Stafford | Mair | Pominville | Spacek | Drury | Zubrus | Tallinder
East wall -- Numminen | Paetsch | Vanek | Briere | Lydman | Kalinin | Paille (Kotalik) | Campbell | Connolly
West wall -- Conklin | Miller | Peters | Kaleta (Afinogenov) | Roy | Hecht | MacArthur (Gaustad)
These move somewhat year to year, but they mostly stay the same. Goalies are always in those same two spots because they have a little more room. Folding chairs are set up if we get too many guys up from Rochester and the extra guys don't get stalls. No joke.
I remember where a few former players used to sit but that's actually pretty hard to recall all their positions. For example, Mike Grier was in Numminen's current position and Numminen was where Tallinder is during 2005-06. Curtis Brown sat where Kalinin or Kotalik are, I can't remember the exact position. Jay McKee was in Spacek's stall. Zhitnik was at the end where Numminen is now and Grier was last season.
Lindy Ruff and the training staff determine where everyone sits. If you'll notice, younger players always have a veteran close by.
This setup a bit different than in football where it's more split by position. The wide receivers lockers are all together, offensive linemen with each other, etc.
3.5.07, 2:16 p.m. :::: HE'S BACK... CONTINUED
The remainder of the charts for patients staying in the Sabres hospital wing looks a little something like this...
Andrew Peters -- No definite timeline on his upper-body injury, but he will miss Wednesday. It's doubtful that he will miss significant time though. If you are wondering when Peters got hurt, it was against Montreal. He and Kaleta combined to almost put Steve Begin through the end boards.
Jaroslav Spacek -- Cleared to start using his hand. How quickly he returns will be determined by how quickly his strength returns. Lindy said that it could put him about a week out. He's doubtful for the next three games.
Tim Connolly -- Doing better but still has some discomfort from that stress fracture so his workouts aren't full throttle yet.
Ales Kotalik -- Hasn't tested the knee injury on ice yet, but is losing his limp. He's probably a week or two away. Said Lindy, "it gets to a point where it comes pretty fast now." Meaning, Kotalik will feel better progressively each day.
Max Afinogenov -- Skating but can't use his wrist. Don't expect him back until the end of March, early April. That's inline with the six to eight week range he was first given. He could be back for the last couple of games, which Max himself said he preferred rather than jumping straight into playoff hockey.
Daniel Paille -- Doing well and could be back in a week to 10 days.
Paul Gaustad -- No change. Still out for season.
3.5.07, 1:57 p.m. :::: HE'S BACK...
Finally, the team is starting to heal. After missing three games, Chris Drury will be back in the lineup Wednesday night against his former team. Drury shed his black "no-contact" jersey and skated the full practice on Monday, centering Dainius Zubrus and Mike Ryan.
Drury said that in some ways it's felt like months since he's played. The revolving door that has been Drury's line continues. To date, he's skated with Drew Stafford, Ales Kotalik, Jiri Novotny, Daniel Paille, Jochen Hecht, Derek Roy, Thomas Vanek and Paul Gaustad. I could have missed somebody (Adam Mair ?) but you get the idea. Now you can add Ryan and Zubrus to that list. People always say the great players can play alongside anyone. In case you didn't know, Drury already has a career high 33 goals and is on pace to break 67 points, his other high set last season.
Lines from today... injury update coming later...
Hecht -- Briere -- Pominville
Ryan -- Drury -- Zubrus
Vanek -- Roy -- Stafford
Kaleta -- MacArthur -- Mair
3.2.07, 2:21 p.m. ::: LINE 'EM UP
Quick hits for today...
1. Drury's out. He skated with a black jersey. Looked good, but won't be ready.
2. Tallinder's in. His sore throat is better.
3. Zubrus looks to be skating with Mike Ryan and Adam Mair in his first game, if you trust the lines from yesterday.
4. I'm not expecting to see Ty Conklin make his Sabres debut tonight.
Thanks to everybody who submitted their lines from yesterday. Here are just a few of the entries (five to be specific) that I selected. Sorry, you don't win any prize except seeing your name on the site for getting your lines online.
Please for the sake of entertainment, don't get too picky on whether or not someone put these in the proper order (by position). I just pasted them in as is.
I'll put my personal guess (and a guess is all it is) at the bottom...
Jonathan Titterington, from Goshen, IN
Briere - Pominville - Hecht
Drury - Kotalik - Connelly
Roy - Afinogenov - Vanek
Zubrus - Mair - Paille
Ben Leitch from MN
Vanek- Drury - Zubris
Afinogenov - Briere - Pominville
Kotalik - Roy - Hecht
Paille - Mair - Ryan
Mario Ferrentino from Hamburg, NY
Roy - Drury - Kotalik
Hecht - Briere - Pommer
Vanek - Zubrus - Max
Paille - Connolly - Stafford
Adam Pensel from Queensbury, NY
Hecht - Briere - Pominville
Roy - Drury - Kotalik
Vanek - Zubrus - Afinogenov
Stafford - Connolly - MacArthur
Pete Elbert from Allegany, NY
My lines are below. And by the way, how tough is this to figure out? Man, there is a lot of talent on this team when it's healthy.
The numbering below means nothing. It was just easier notation for the explanations.
1. Hecht - Briere - Pominville
2. Kotalik - Drury - Stafford
3. Vanek - Roy - Afinogenov
4. Zubrus - Connolly - Paille
1) Been together all year. I fear change.
2) This is a 1+1+1=3 situation. I kicked around the idea of moving Roy to this line because of his success during last season's playoffs with Drury, but it was killing me to breakup Max-Derek-Thomas. Plus, I honestly don't think Lindy will separate those three.
3) See reason 1).
4) Zubrus is an unknown (he hasn't even played a game for us yet). Connolly can play alongside anybody if he's 100%. I like Paille's upside.
That's it... thanks for reading...

3.1.07, 4:38 p.m. ::: POST PRACTICE CONTINUED
Ok, so things got a little out of hand and I didn't get on here as much as I wanted today. Here's a quick piece from a notebook that I'm writing for tonight. I like to put this type of info in the blog but thought it was too interesting not to put in the piece for non-Insiders as well.
But you guys are getting the first crack at it because I like you more.
Dainius Zubrus made a big splash in his second practice with the Sabres. Always looking for ways to build team unity, head coach Lindy Ruff put Zubrus in the hot seat and the right-winger delivered.
Zubrus was challenged by Ruff to score with a slapshot from center ice. If he hit the net, practice was over. Miss and the entire team had to skate sprints. It's a common tactic that the longest-tenured coach in the league has used over the past few weeks to grow the camaraderie between veterans and rookies after they were recalled from Rochester.
The 28-year-old Lithuanian put it dead center.
Lindy is renowned for this. I swear the guy could teach one of those corporate team-building weekends if he wanted to. Last season he was taking the guys on curling or bowling trips on off days and this season he puts a focus on the rookies. Clarke MacArthur had to make the shot last week (missed on his first attempt, but scored from the blueline).
By the way, Max is pretty hyped up to have Zubrus on the team. In the past, they worked out during the offseason together in Switzerland and both played on Russia's 2004-05 World Cup team. So there is a friendship there. His review of Buffalo's latest offensive acquisition was nothing short of glowing.
Lets play a fun game today. Assume everyone except for Gaustad is back (including Connolly). What are the Sabres lines going to be? Email me your thoughts and I'll post a few of the responses.
And if you're a fan of Martin Biron, you'll love this. As well as everyone else, a little part of me was sad to see Marty go. But Chris Drury said something that absolutely blew me away. To quote Drury, "he's the best teammate I've ever played with."
That says something because 1) Drury doesn't throw those types of compliments around without it being true, and 2) Dru has played with some of the best of all time.
Think of the company that Marty beat out for that distinction in Drury's mind: Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg and Jarome Iginla just to name three. It's a testament to Marty's character.
3.1.07, 1:14 p.m. ::: POST PRACTICE
Sorry for the limited posts over the last couple of days. I was working remotely from Boston (league marketing meetings) and didn't have much downtime. Trying to load up with caffeine now to get through today, so if I'm a little slow, contribute it to getting up at 4 a.m. on Tuesday to catch a 7 a.m. flight.
On to practice...
Lots of news today so here's the quick hitters. As always, audio will be posted shortly. These are in no specific order.
1. Sporting a mutli-colored shiner, Chris Drury skated on his own prior to practice and spoke to the media. He hopes to be back in the lineup on Wednesday against the team that drafted him, the Colorado Avalanche.
2. We send our sympathies to Brian Campbell, who missed practice due to a death in the family.
3. Henrik Tallinder was out sick, but the hope is that he will be feeling better tomorrow. Yes, it's the same type of illness that took Danny Briere out of the lineup on Tuesday.
4. Speaking of Danny B, he's fine. After a full practice, no doubt he'll be back tomorrow.
After last week's injury update, I got a few emails asking about Max. Well, anyone who is looking for a Afinogenov update is in luck today.
Max said his wrist is healing well, but there is no concrete timeline for his return. One thing is for certain, Max wants to be back when it matters most. He's riding a stationary bike to keep his legs in working order, and ideally, he would like to see action in a couple of games before the post-season begins.
More to come...
2.26.07, 12:42 p.m. ::: INJURY UPDATE
Here's a quick synopsis of the opening portion of Lindy Ruff's press conference this morning, which was an update on various player's injuries.
Chris Drury, who was at the arena this morning, is progressing and is in pretty good spirits. Most of his concussion symptoms have subsided.
"He won't be on the ice still for a few more days, but we really feel he's doing really well," said Ruff.
Adam Mair sat out practice on Monday for precautionary reasons after blocking a shot in Ottawa on Saturday night. Both Mair and Ruff expect him to be in the lineup for tomorrow night's game against Toronto.
Jiri Novotny skated in what Ruff deemed a "light practice." He didn't participate in any one-on-one drills where there could be contact. If things go well, he could be ready for Friday against Montreal.
Both Daniel Paille and Jaroslav Spacek are a little further away in terms of recovery time than the rest of the group above.
Paille had a pin surgically placed in his finger but hasn't skated yet. He'll need a couple of weeks worth of conditioning to be game ready.
Spacek is due for another X-Ray by the end of the week and could have a recovery timeline of a week or two. According to Ruff, he's been skating on a regular basis and won't need any additional time once his hand heals.
Here's the latest on Tim Connolly. He's close to being pain free from the stress fracture he sustained while working out. Ruff said the team is taking the cautious road with Connolly and wants to carefully watch his workouts in order to prevent an aggravation of the injury. His timeline wasn't updated.
Biron gave some insight into his mindset as the trade deadline approaches, while Briere told how he learned of the trade that brought him to Buffalo. Danny was caught completely by surprise when the Gratton deal went down. Interesting stuff.
FORWARD LINES TODAY (Defensemen remained the same)
Jochen Hecht -- Daniel Briere -- Jason Pominville
Thomas Vanek -- Derek Roy -- Drew Stafford
Michael Ryan -- Jiri Novotny -- Mark Mancari
Andrew Peters -- Clarke MacArthur -- Patrick Kaleta
* Adam Mair was adsent
Lots of action in the locker room today. Here are the links if you want to listen to any of the audio. You may notice a recurring theme to the questions. I don't know why. Did something happen lately?
Marty was being Marty today. He was telling us how the Sabres that were bounced from the game last night and all the injured guys were joking around about who was going to back-up Miller in goal. The general consensus, according to Biron, was that either Brian Campbell or Toni Lydman would have to suit up.
Biron's pick was Lydman, but he didn't know if Toni could block shots with goalie equipment the way he does in a regular game.
Couple of quick updates from practice before I throw the audio up in the multimedia section.
Drury is experiencing concussion sort of symptoms and is out for tomorrow. There is no timeframe for his return.
Mark Mancari (Ruff: "Right handed shot, good goal scorer") has been recalled from Rochester, leaving Dylan Hunter and Marek Zagrapan as the only two forwards from Rochester that Buffalo hasn't called up.
He's a big kid and skated with Adam Mair and Mike Ryan.
Donning a black jersey, Jiri Novotny skated today for the first time since aggravating his high ankle sprain against Boston on Feb. 17. He didn't participate in all the drills but looked good for his first time on the ice in almost a week.
Lines from practice
Hecht - Briere - Pominville
Vanek - Roy - Stafford
Ryan - Mair - Mancari
Peters - MacArthur - Kaleta
Lydman - Tallinder
Campbell - Paetsch
Kalinin - Numminen
Originally, I had planned on starting this blog more towards the end of the season. You know, around playoff time. But with the parade of media into the locker room to talk to Buffalo's most recent call-up, Patrick Kaleta, I figured why not start now.
If you like the blog, feel free to email me through the webmaster account. If you don't, same goes. I don't mind a little constructive criticism. We'll do this blogging thing until it gets old or something better comes along.
On to practice...
Nothing spectacular happened this morning. I would give Lindy's morning press conference a listen (since you're reading this I know you're an Insider and have access), he's pretty funny in a couple of parts.
Most interesting piece of info from the PC was that Kaleta is going to be staying in Buffalo for a while. Originally, I wasn't sure whether his tenure with the team would be determined by his play, but it seems that he will be eating a few dinners with mom and dad in Angola (town a couple of minutes from Buffalo down the I-90) over the next couple of weeks.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Kaleta, here's a quick synopsis. He's from Buffalo (Angola, close enough), not that big (listed at 5'11'', 195) for the way he plays but would put his head through a plate glass window if he saw a puck on the other side of it.
Seriously, this kid is a scary when he's on the ice. He's got a nonstop motor coupled with a complete reckless abandon for personal safety.
Lindy even made the joke that he made the morning skate an optional so Kaleta didn't hurt anybody. If his own teammates got a little miffed about being hit during training camp, it will be interesting to see how the Senators react when/if the rookie lays out one of their own.
He was a player born to be loved by Sabres fans. Here are a couple of YouTube clips to serve as proof. You'll get a feel for how he plays pretty quickly: Fight vs. Filip Novak; Hit compilation when he played for Peterborough (OHL).
But a great kid none the less. Very humble, and to steal Lindy's quote about Nathan Paetsch, you have to love his enthusiasm.
That's one of the paradoxes of hockey. Why are the nicest guys almost always the ones who inflict the most punishment on the ice? You can throw Andrew Peters, Rob Ray and former Amerk/Sabre Shawn McMorrow into that genre as well.
But I digress. Make sure you flip over to tonight's game (MSG, 7 p.m.). You make see Kaleta take somebody's head off.

Following the American Psychiatric Association's success with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Revised Third Edition(DSM-III-R), which for the first time quantified psychiatric diagnosis, it was felt that there was a need for a similar treatise on psychiatric treatment. This book, which runs to four volumes and over 3000 pages, represents seven years of intensive work, involving, as it does, over five pages of consultants and 26 separate panels. Each drew together as a working group and produced three drafts of each subject, which were then sent out to a number of consultants for modification and comments.
Despite its size, the book follows the general format of DSM-III-R. Although at times it reintroduces older diagnostic categories by way of clarification, a cautionary statement indicates that the report is not intended to be construed or serve as a standard for psychiatric care. It is inevitable, however, that certain

Summary: Volkswagen Bank GmbH Dec 07
- December 2007
- Standard & Poors
The ratings on Volkswagen Bank GmbH (VW Bank), a leading domestic retail and car finance company, reflect the expected ongoing gradual improvements of its solid stand-alone financial performance, which somewhat mitigate its concentration in the cyclical automotive industry and reliance on German automaker Volkswagen AG (VW; A-/Stable/A-2) group branding. We expect the healthy pretax profit margin of about 1.9% (relative to risk-weighted assets; RWAs) to moderately improve further. This is on the back of an ongoing cyclical upswing in Germany helping to contain credit risk cost at below 20 basis points at midyear 2007, tight efficiency measures, a sound 41% cost-to-income ratio, and increased earnings from product bundling. Moreover, the bank continues to benefit from diversified sustainable high earnings generation...

The South Tahoe cross-country team was up at first light getting ready for the early-morning Clovis meet.
And while the runners may not have been fully awake when the starting gun fired, they still managed to find their season-best speeds, which was what the Clovis Invitation was all about Friday, Oct. 11.
There were dozens of Division I schools and elite cross-country runners who show up for the meet. The Vikings, instead, used the meet to see how far they've come as the season finale draws near. The result was a landslide of personal bests.
Everyone who raced set a personal record for the year.
"This is a pretty good showing of where we're at for the season," coach Jake Hurwitz said. "We're building toward the end instead of peaking too early, and we also had a good time there. There was a lot of team bonding going on."
South Tahoe's top boys — Harley Norton, Orion Maxwell and Ross Kovac — all finished within 20 second of each other. Norton turned in 17:28, Maxwell 17:30 and Kovac 17:38 on the Clovis course that was about three miles.
Patrick Stimac (18:54), Paul Mutz (19:00), Mario Mangiaracina (19:17) and Chas Carlson (19:52) rounded out the boys' top times.
Senior Karley Martinez finished first among South Tahoe's girls in 21:35. Cara Filce was less than 10 seconds behind, cruising in at the 21:44 mark.
Lauren Tang (22:19), Riley Rettig (22:21), Tatum Whatford (22:37), Grace Rosburg (24:14) and Kerry Norton (24:51) completed the girls' varsity times.
Junior varsity runners Sierra Bedwell (23:58) and Meg Carlson (26:00) also turned in impressive finishes.
UP NEXT: The cross-country team ran in the Sparks Invitational Friday, JV Championships on Tuesday and the ROP Invitational on Thursday. Regionals start Nov. 1 and state competition is on Nov. 8 and 9.

New Carried Interest Tax Not Until 2011?
(Editor's note: This post has been updated in a follow-up post here.)
As sister blog Private Equity Beat notes, the Obama administration's new budget plan includes a line item on page 122 that lists the proceeds to be generated by taxing carried interest at ordinary income tax rates, rather than the capital gains tax rates.
This, of course, is one of the most closely watched issues for venture capital firms and other private equity executives. President Obama said during his campaign that he supports taxing carried income at the higher ordinary income rate, currently at 35%, and not the 15% capital gains rate that it has historically been taxed at. The question was whether he would raise the rate while the economy slumps, or, as many in the venture industry believed, he would do so once the Bush administration's capital gains tax cut expires in 2010.
The latter may be the case. As Private Equity Beat observes, no income is listed for 2009 and 2010 for this provision, while starting in 2011 the deficit would decrease by $2.74 billion and accelerate thereafter.
In a letter to the Obama transition team in December, the National Venture Capital Association stressed the importance of the venture capital industry to the economy and outlined its various policy concerns. At the top of its list, ahead of energy policy, access to capital markets and health-care reform, was a page-long outline urging why "maintaining the current capital gains tax policy is critical to fostering the economic growth that is fueled by venture capital investment."
Expect the NVCA to aggressively try to convince the government to take out the proposed tax provision.

Should he defeat Vietnam native Dat Nguyen on April 21, featherweight prospect Gary Russell Jr. is being considered for a swift return on July 17and a clash of unbeatens against Abraham Lopez of La Puente, Calif., at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer confirmed to RingTV.com.
"Gary Russell's management team and myself, we haven't yet agreed to it," said Schaefer. "But it's something that we have discussed, and it is something that I've discussed with Gary."
The possibility was announced by commentators during ESPN's Friday Night Fights, while Lopez (17-0, 12 knockouts) was earning a disputed unanimous decision over southpaw Gabriel Tolmajyan (12-2-1, 3 KOs) , of Glendale, Calif., at Morongo Casino Resort & Spa, Cabazon, Calif.
"It's a possiblity, but it's not agreed to and it's not done. The only thing that I know for sure is that Gary will fight before that date as well on April 21 against Nguyen. We know that he has to win that fight and that he has to come out clean," said Schaefer.
"And then we will see who he is going to fight. But the plan is for him to fight on that date. But again, there are a lot of 'ifs,' and, we certainly have not agreed. We have not made a deal and we have not agreed on that fight."
A 23-year-old southpaw, Russell (19-0, 11 KOs) is coming off November's first-round stoppage of Mexican Heriberto Ruiz as he heads into the match up with Nguyen (17-2, 6 KOs).
Russell will meet Nguyen on the undercard of a Showtime-televised, junior featherweight bout featuring Abner Mares (23-0-1, 13 KOs) vs. Eric Morel (46-2, 23 KOs).
Mares vacated his IBF bantamweight belt in favor of rising in weight for the fight with Morel for the WBC's belt.

I found a long-arm quilting machine including the frame and computer accessories to purchase on Ebay. I was sent an Ebay invoice instructing me to purchase MoneyPaks from Walmart. I did and emailed the information, as instructed by Ebay, to the seller. He confirmed receipt of the money and said he would be shipping the products the next day. I agreed this his arraingements and waited. I sent 2 follow-up emails asking for tracking numbers and did not receive replies. The last email I received stated he had used the monies received to pay lawyer fees for a divorce and needed additional money for the shipping of the merchandise. I contacted Ebay and was told there was no purchase information with them regarding my purchase. They suggested I contact MoneyPak to file a complaint. This is a scam artist, so BUYER BEWARE!

Climb for Cancer
GAINESVILLE-About 100 riders got together to fight against cancer at the San Felasco Park on Saturday morning. The fundraiser was organized by "Climb for Cancer," a foundation in Gainesville created to help ease the pain and suffering of those affected by cancer. All the money raised today will go to the oncology programs at UF Health Shands.
"It's a fun event. It's a great event for people to come out. They get a chance to go on trails here in San Felasco Park that most people can't get on. So you see a little bit of a different scenery here and everybody has a great time," said Diane and Ron Farb who are co-founders of "Climb for Cancer."
The Alachua County Sheriff's office help put the event together. This is the fourth year the event takes place.This year they hope to raise more than $5,000 in donations.

Ghost Squad is a perfect example of an on-rail "shoot the bad guys" game. Ghost Squad is actually a direct port of the arcade game of the same name. It can be done with a single player or up to four at once, so it can allow for cooperative-competitive play, or solo runs to see who can get the highest score alone. Bloody cheap game too, got my used copy for a tenner a few years back. Might be even cheaper now.
Another arcade shooter I know of is Link's Crossbow Training. Haven't played it myself, but since it's an official Nintendo-developed game I'm sure it's more than decent.

Contemporary Art: 1945 to Present
Many people experience the art of our time as bewildering, shocking, too ordinary (my kid could do that), too intellectual (elitist), or simply not as art. Yet what makes this art engaging is that it raises the question of what art is or can be, employs a range of new materials and technologies, and addresses previously excluded audiences. It invades non-art spaces, blurs the boundaries between text and image, document and performance, asks questions about institutional frames (the museum, gallery, and art journal), and generates new forms of criticism. Much of the "canon" of what counts as important is still in flux, especially for the last twenty years. And the stage is no longer centered only on the United States and Europe, but is becoming increasingly global. The course will introduce students to the major movements and artists of the post-war period, with emphasis on social and historical context, critical debates, new media, and the changing role of the spectator/participant.

I bought a mother board from the Roseville store last night and returned home in Stockton. When I opened the box it had a different used mother board in side the box I quickly called the store and explained what happened and they said just bring it back for an exchange. After returning to the store a 70 mile drive they told me it was damaged and the sticker seal had been broken. I spent 8 min on the phone with them the night before and hours in the store trying to get them to make things correct to all the told me was to take it up with the manufacture The sticker on the box is not the same other models of the same exact motherboard and the serial number looks tampered with and if I where guess its an inside job. I feel completely ripped of with no recourse and tried going 70 miles each way

Cache jQuery's JSONP Calls
This post assumes your server already responds with proper
Short Answer
You have to set both
cache:true and
jsonpCallback MUST be a string, e.g.
$.ajax({ url : 'http://domain.com/api/getItems', // cache must be true cache : true, // Caveat - jsonpCallback MUST be a string jsonpCallback : 'myCallback', dataType : 'jsonp', data : { itemId:123 } });
Long Answer
First off, if you are not familiar with what it takes for you browser to cache a http call please read my previous post about browser caching.
Secondly, we must understand exactly what cache and jsonpCallback do to your URLs during jsonp calls.
No Cache and No jsonpCallback
Lets look at our previous example without cache and jsonpCallback enabled.
$.ajax({ url : 'http://domain.com/api/getItems', dataType : 'jsonp', data : { itemId:123 } });
With this example your browser will make the following call. Take special notice to the callback=jQuery19107020940016955137_1371398351628 and the _=1371398351629 params inserted into our URL.
Although you do not enable jsonpCallback the param
callback is still present.
Incase you do not know how jsonp works, you NEED a callback param so that the serverside script can "wrap" the json in a function which is referred to as "padding". Hence JSONPadding.
So jQuery created a function behind our backs called jQuery19107020940016955137_1371398351628 and the JSON returned by our server is expected to look something like this:
jQuery19107020940016955137_1371398351628( { ..... } );. Notice that our JSON is wrapped [padded] in a function call and the function's name is "jQuery19107020940016955137_1371398351628″.
Now lets take a look at the mysterious _ (underscore) param. This param is injected by jQuery with the sole purpose of making the URL unique. jQuery decides to insert this when the cache attribute is set to false. Although this http call IS cached by the browser, jQuery guarantees the same URL will not be called twice by setting the _ (underscore) param to a timestamp.
Setting Cache and jsonpCallback
Since we know http calls are cached by the browser we need to make sure we keep calling the same URL to take advantage of our browsers cache.
$.ajax({ url : 'http://domain.com/api/getItems', cache : true, jsonpCallback : 'myCallback', dataType : 'jsonp', data : { itemId:123 } });
By setting cache to true we eliminate jQuery's _ param and by setting jsonpCallback to a string we ensure that the same function name will be used time and time again. The above example creates a http call like the following:
As you can see our string callback was used and our underscore param was eliminated. The next time you make this same jsonp call your browser will recognize this URL and use browser cache instead of actually making the http call.
Make sure you actually have a javascript function called "myCallback".
You can think of the "myCallback" function as a "success" method. When the jsonp call returns "myCallback" function will receive the JSON.

You are working on a graphing project in your math class, where you are supposed to graph several functions. Things seem to be going well, until you realize that there is a bold, vertical line three units to the left of where you placed your "y" axis! As it turns out, you've accidentally shifted your entire graph. You didn't notice that your instructor had placed a bold line where the "y" axis was supposed to be. And now, all of the points for your graph of the cosine function are three points farther to the right than they are supposed to be along the "x" axis.
You might be able to keep all of your work, if you can find a way to rewrite the equation so that it takes into account the change in your graph.
Can you think of a way to rewrite the function so that the graph is correct the way you plotted it?
Horizontal Translations
Horizontal translations involve placing a constant inside the argument of the trig function being plotted. If we return to the example of the parabola, , what change would you make to the equation to have it move to the right or left? Many students guess that if you move the graph vertically by adding to the value, then we should add to the value in order to translate horizontally. This is correct, but the graph itself behaves in the opposite way than what you may think.
Here is the graph of .
Notice that adding 2 to the value shifted the graph 2 units to the left, or in the negative direction.
To compare, the graph moves the graph 2 units to the right or in the positive direction.
We will use the letter to represent the horizontal shift value. Therefore, subtracting from the value will shift the graph to the right and adding will shift the graph units to the left.
Adding to our previous equations, we now have and where is the vertical translation and is the opposite sign of the horizontal shift.
Sketching Graphs
1. Sketch
This is a sine wave that has been translated units to the right.
Horizontal translations are also referred to as phase shifts. Two waves that are identical, but have been moved horizontally are said to be "out of phase" with each other. Remember that cosine and sine are really the same waves with this phase variation.
can be thought of as a cosine wave shifted horizontally to the right by radians.
Alternatively, we could also think of cosine as a sine wave that has been shifted radians to the left.
2. Draw a sketch of
This is a cosine curve that has been translated up 1 unit and units to the right. It may help you to use the quadrant angles to draw these sketches. Plot the points of at (as well as the negatives), and then translate those points before drawing the translated curve. The blue curve below is the final answer.
Graphing Functions
This is a sine curve that has been translated 2 units down and moved radians to the left. Again, start with the quadrant angles on and translate them down 2 units.
Then, take that result and shift it to the left. The blue graph is the final answer.
Example 1
Earlier, you were asked if you can think of a way to rewrite the function so that the graph is correct the way you plotted it.
As you've now seen by reading this Concept, it is possible to shift an entire graph to the left or the right by changing the argument of the graph.
So in this case, you can keep your graph by changing the function to
Example 2
Draw a sketch of
As we've seen, the 3 shifts the graph vertically 3 units, while the shifts the graph to the right by units.
Example 3
Draw a sketch of
The shifts the graph to the left by .
Example 4
Draw a sketch of
The 2 added to the function shifts the graph up by 2 units, and the added in the argument of the function brings the function back to where it started, so the cosine graph isn't shifted horizontally at all.
Graph each of the following functions.

A machine-independent high-level microprogramming language, called MPGL, has been developed along with its processing system, called MPG. The MPGL allows the microprogrammer to write microprograms sequentially in a machine-independent fashion. The MPG provides the facility for translating these microprograms into efficient object code, as well as debugging object microprograms.

BOSTON— Last Thursday, Dr. Muhammad Yunus, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006, gave a talk titled "Social Business—New Models for Providing Sustainable Services to the Poor" before a large audience of students, faculty, and staff in Burden Auditorium at Harvard Business School (HBS). Yunus, an economist who once taught economics at a university in his native Bangladesh and who is widely known for his work in developing microlending and establishing the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh in 1983, discussed his recent efforts, which focus on building social businesses and healthcare initiatives in Bangladesh. The event was hosted by the HBS Social Enterprise Initiative, the HBS Healthcare Initiative, and the Harvard Innovation Lab.
Yunus spent a full day on the HBS campus, meeting with a host of faculty and students. Early in the day, he discussed some innovative social business ideas with senior faculty affiliated with the School's Social Enterprise Initiative. He then attended an undergraduate Harvard College Social Entrepreneurship class at the Harvard i-lab, followed by an animated meeting with HBS students interested in social enterprises and social entrepreneurship.
Speaking with great passion about his commitment to social business, Yunus defined it as, "A self-sustaining business model that is designed to tackle social problems, without regard to making a profit." Living in Bangladesh, confronted by a vast array of social struggles and challenges, he considered not knowing all the answers to be a blessing in disguise. "When you don't have all the answers, you are not bound by your conditions," he said. "You explore new solutions and leap at innovative ways to help people, guided by your values." An example of one of the many social businesses he has created is Grameen Phone, which has brought cell phones to poor Bangladeshi women in rural areas. Currently, there are 80 million total cell phone subscribers, and Grameen Phone, now the largest company in Bangladesh, controls 60% of the market share. He also talked about the importance of measuring impact and customizing business models to tackle social problems head on, without being driven by an impulse to make profits. "When I stand by other human beings and help them, that is when I feel the most alive," he said.
Yunus also explained the advantages of partnering with large multinational corporations such as Groupe Danone and Adidas to do good for large numbers of people, tapping into the resources and networks that these companies bring to the table. Matt Lee, a doctoral student at HBS commented, "I appreciated that Professor Yunus articulated a very specific vision for a 'social business' as a privately owned business that pursues social goals without paying out any returns. But I was also inspired to learn that he doesn't discourage others from experimenting with different models that employ business and markets to improve society. It's a reflection of the state of the social enterprise field. We've learned some things about models that work, but we're just beginning to understand what is possible."
Yunus is the author of Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty, Creating a World without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism, and Building Social Business: The New Kind of Capitalism That Serves Humanity's Most Pressing Needs. "Having read Banker to the Poor in a high school economics class, I was delighted to meet Prof. Yunus," noted Christina Kelleher, who is pursuing a joint degree at the Harvard Kennedy School and the MIT Sloan School of Management and who served as co-chair of the Harvard Social Enterprise Conference. "His work on microfinance and social business over the last 30 years has created a field that is having a transformational impact on social problems around the world. His energy, ideas, and commitment to using business to transform poverty are truly inspirational."
About the HBS Social Enterprise Initiative
Since 1993, the HBS Social Enterprise Initiative (SEI) has applied innovative business practices and managerial disciplines to drive sustained, high-impact social change. The Social Enterprise Initiative acts as a catalyst for creating social value by serving as a focal point for the creativity and energy of its worldwide community. These efforts have manifested themselves in a number of areas, ranging from the participation of approximately 90 faculty members in social enterprise research and teaching to the creation of over 500 social enterprise cases and teaching notes. Courses that focus on social enterprise are embedded into the MBA curriculum and HBS Executive Education program offerings, reflecting a real-world blending of business and social issues. Beyond the classroom, the Initiative offers career development and community engagement programs designed to support students and alumni engaged in the social sector.

It's hard to say good-bye, but we've had our last shoot, saw an amazing participant slideshow and now it's time to die. Tonight we went to another favorite grove, Del Norte. More difficult to shoot, it does have some real treasures locked up in its trees. As you can see, I was shooting in a B&W mode and enjoyed every moment of it!
I want to publically state a huge thank you and express my respect for those who are the DLWS staff. Joe, Laurie, Kevin, Josh, Brad, Joe and especially Sharon make DLWS special for our participants and make sure that the main ingredient of DLWS, the passion for photography, flows!

Len Downie: The teaching hospital model works, but it will require drastic change
Journalism students are best served when they actually produce serious, real-world work, the former Washington Post editor argues. But many journalism schools aren't set up for that.
When the Nieman Journalism Lab asked for my thoughts at the beginning of another academic year, I realized how my career has been book-ended by meaningful experiences in journalism education.
At the Ohio State University School of Journalism in the early 1960s, we learned primarily by producing, under the supervision of ambitious professional journalists on the school's faculty, a large-circulation daily newspaper that covered the campus and relevant news in the city and state around us. It made a summer internship on a metropolitan daily a familiar next step.
Now, after 44 years as an editor and reporter at The Washington Post, I'm starting my fourth year on the faculty of Arizona State University's innovative Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, where it's my turn to help today's students do professional-level journalism. Cronkite is one of a growing — but still too small — number of journalism schools around the country producing vitally needed journalism for their communities, states, and the nation, while also teaching, researching, and experimenting with mass communications in the digital age.
Students working in the Phoenix and Washington, D.C. bureaus of the Cronkite News Service cover government and public affairs for newspapers, television stations, and websites throughout Arizona. Students at Cronkite NewsWatch report and produce nightly half-hour local newscasts on the state's largest public television station. Cronkite students worked with others from 10 universities across the country on this year's Carnegie-Knight News21 national investigative reporting project on voting rights. Their stories and multimedia have been published by a number of newspapers and news websites, including The Washington Post, NBCNews.com, the Center for Public Integrity, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Arizona Republic, and nonprofit news site members of the Investigative News Network.
The Cronkite School is not alone. The student-staffed Capital News Service of the University of Maryland's Merrill College of Journalism has provided news from College Park, Annapolis and Washington for that state's newspapers and television stations. Students at Northwestern's Medill News Service have produced journalism for local and national news media from bureaus in Chicago and Washington. Missouri's journalism school has produced a local newspaper for the city of Columbia, staffed by faculty and students, for more than a century. Temple, Columbia, CUNY, NYU, Illinois, Columbia College in Chicago, Michigan State, UC-Berkeley, USC, and Texas have experimented with city and neighborhood news sites staffed by their journalism students. American, Columbia, Boston University, Northeastern, Wisconsin, and Iowa have enabled students and faculty to do investigative work for a variety of news media partners.
Advocates of university-produced journalism compare it to medical schools placing their students in teaching hospitals. Experienced (often prize-winning) journalists on the faculties of these journalism schools give their students rigorous, realistic experiences in professional journalism, multimedia innovation, and media entrepreneurship. The students can get a leg up on competition for jobs when they graduate. Future employers of the best students can use their help in coping with the changing news media environment. The schools' news media partners can share in journalism that downsized newsrooms can no longer produce on their own. Their audiences, including communities around universities, can benefit from more journalism that matters to them.

This is not the news post you are looking for…
Seriously though, there hasn't been much news-worthy news about games over the last 3 or 4 days. It's a bit concerning actually. I mean I could mention how Battlefield 3 has jumped to the top selling position in the UK but honestly, that doesn't strike me as interesting.
In light of this I just thought I should mention that Skyrim is coming in 10 days! Yes that's right folks! Only 10 days until the world explodes from an overload of awesome!
On another note, are there any other games you guys are looking out for in the coming months that we haven't really been looking much at? Why don't you comment below or on Twitter or Facebook?

Background Despite behavioural signs of flattened affect, patients affected by schizophrenia show enhanced sensitivity to negative stimuli. The current literature concerning neural circuitry for emotions supports dysregulations of cortico-limbic networks, but gives contrasting results. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) could persistently influence emotional regulation and neural correlates of response to emotional stimuli in healthy humans. This study evaluated the effect of ACEs and chronic undifferentiated schizophrenia on neural responses to emotional stimuli (negative facial expression).
Method Brain blood-oxygen-level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging neural responses to a face-matching paradigm, and regional grey matter (GM) volumes were studied at 3.0 T in the amygdala, hippocampus, anterior cingulated cortex (ACC) and prefrontal cortex (PFC). The severity of ACEs was assessed. Participants included 20 consecutively admitted in-patients affected by chronic undifferentiated schizophrenia, and 20 unrelated healthy volunteers from the general population.
Results Patients reported higher ACEs than controls. Worse ACEs proportionally led to decreasing responses in the amygdala and hippocampus, and to increasing responses in the PFC and ACC in all participants. Patients showed higher activations in the amygdala and hippocampus, and lower activations in the PFC and ACC. Higher ACEs were associated with higher GM volumes in the PFC and ACC, and schizophrenia was associated with GM reduction in all studied regions.
Conclusions Structural and functional brain correlates of emotional reactivity are influenced by both current chronic undifferentiated schizophrenia and the severity of past ACEs.

NY Post's James Foley Cover Controversy
Posted August 20th, 2014 @ 8:15am
The New York Post is in the middle of an internet firestorm after posting their graphic cover story about James Foley to Twitter. Last night CEO of Twitter Dick Costolo vowed to suspend any account that posted graphic stills from the disturbing ISIS execution video of American journalist James Foley. The New York Post's cover image features the doomed journalist seconds before the beheading began. Many are now saying that the Post's Twitter account should be suspended after the gruesome cover. See the uncensored cover image here.

Definition of apophysis in English:
noun (plural apophyses /-ˌsēz/)Zoology & Anatomy
1A natural protuberance from a bone, or inside the shell or exoskeleton of a sea urchin or insect, for the attachment of muscles.
Example sentences
- In younger patients, nonossified bone present at growth plates such as the femoral head epiphysis and the anterior superior iliac spine apophysis is susceptible to injury until the skeleton matures.
- Hypertrophy is defined as either an increase in the size of the medial epicondylar apophysis of the pitching elbow or an increase in the thickness of the medial humeral cortex as compared to the contralateral elbow.
- The iliac apophysis ossifies in a predictable fashion from anterolateral to posteromedial along the iliac crest.
1.1 Botany A swelling at the base of the sporangium in some mosses.
1.2 Geology A small offshoot extending from an igneous intrusion into the surrounding rock.
Example sentences
- Along the southern margin of the intrusion at Sogneskollen, granodiorite apophyses netvein the host rocks.
- These apophyses extend 50 pm into the adjacent quartz grains and, when viewed parallel to the grain boundaries, form irregular branching features.
- The latter are characterized by sheet-like apophyses that interfinger with host rocks.
- Example sentences
- Additionally, there is some evidence to suggest that gymnastics may induce changes in the anterior and middle columns (Schmorl's nodes, apophyseal ring abnormalities, and vertebral wedging) that are not necessarily symptomatic.
- As water is the main component of the disc, loss of fluid leads to a fall in disc height and abnormal loading of other spinal structures such as the apophyseal joints.
- Adolescents and young adults are at particular risk for various apophyseal and epiphyseal injuries due to lack of ossification of these cartilaginous growth plates.
Late 16th century: modern Latin, from Greek apophusis 'offshoot', from apo- 'from, away' + phusis 'growth'.

The code is actually executed against "normal" database in settings.py, not the one which is temporarily created.
Possible workaround is to use property/lambda syntax.
Change History (3)
comment:1 Changed 7 years ago by russellm
- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
I acknowledge that this is a problem, but there really isn't anything we can do. A field defined like that will be instantiated when the class is loaded, which occurs before the test framework has a chance to redirect the database that is in use.
The other solution that you don't mention (and the solution that makes more sense to me anyway) is to set up the field in the setUp() method. During the call to setUp(), the test database will be in place. As an added bonus, setUp() is called at the start of every test run, guaranteeing that you won't have any artefact leakage between tests (i.e., test_1 modifies self.field, affecting the outcome of test_2).
Marking wontfix because there isn't really a fix, and the workaround is preferable to the problematic syntax.
comment:2 Changed 7 years ago by Art_S
- Resolution wontfix deleted
- Status changed from closed to reopened
I would like to re-open this.
My impression was that creation of instances of Test Classes was controlled by django.
If that's the case (only if!) then why can't it initialise the settings beforehand?
The whole thing is kind of dangerous - I can see the use case when you need to run the tests in production, and having any test code there which can potentially modify prod data is really bad.

We control the creation of test classes, but we don't control the way that Python parses code. The problem here is that the class-level property is instantiated when the class is parsed - which is when you test module is imported.
