Comments Thread For: Ricky Burns: After Vazquez, I Want Adrien Broner!
Ricky Burns plans to silence the critics who claim he is avoiding a fight with Adrien Broner by beating the outspoken American once he has taken care of IBF world lightweight champion Miguel Vazquez.
Frank Warren has confirmed that Burns' fight against Mexico's Vazquez will headline his 'Rule Britannia' show at Wembley Arena on March 16.
Should Scotland's WBO champion come through the tough fight against Vazquez, who is ranked second at 135 pounds, he hopes to then overcome unbeaten WBA champion Broner.
Broner accused Burns of ducking a fight with him at super featherweight when the Scot moved up a weight category in 2011.
The American then offered to fight Burns at two days' notice last month when two of the 29-year-old's opponents pulled out of a lightweight bout at the ExCeL Arena in London, but he again turned down the opportunity.

Hopefully, the problem is in years to come people would forget that Burns was the one that said he wasn't ready yet, they would accuse Broner of doing the ducking even those he was on record saying he wasn't ready, Just like How people try to forget that Hatton said he wasn't ready yet for Mayweather and that when he is ready he would take Mayweather on.

If he happens to get by Vazquez he'll then ask for 600,000 pounds tax free in order to fight Broner.

burns should be applauded for taking on vasquez, this won't be an easy fight for both guys
vasquez doesnt let his hands go very often and i'm pretty sure this fight will be very close...in which case burns will probably get the decision and be criticized for it
its funny because people are already foreseeing a robbery
i'd like to see burns face broner in the states because he often doesn't get the credit he deserves and win or lose his stock could only increase...especially if broner is able to stir things up at 140 afterwards

We study the effect of a piecewise polytropic equation of state on the formation of stellar clusters in turbulent, self-gravitating molecular clouds using three-dimensional, smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations. We use the publicly available parallel code GADGET (Springel et al. 2001) in which we have implemented sink particles that can replace high-density gas cores, and with a uniform turbulent driving field.
Recently several of us conducted a systematic study of the effects of a varying polytropic index~\gamma on turbulent fragmentation. Their results showed that \gamma determines how strongly self-gravitating gas fragments. However in their computation, \gamma was left strictly constant in each simulation. In this study we extend our previous work by using a piecewise polytropic equation of state changing \gamma at some chosen density. We investigate if a change in \gamma determines the characteristic mass of the gas clump spectrum and thus perhaps the turn-over mass of the IMF. Preliminary results changing \gamma from 0.7 to 1.1 seem to corroborate this hypothesis, but with a weaker than expected dependence on the chosen density. We conduct a parameter study on the density at which \gamma changes to specify its effect on the resulting mass spectra.

GERMANY: Texprocess gears up for four-day show in 2015
By Michelle Russell | 25 March 2014
The Texprocess and Techtextil trade fairs will join forces again in Frankfurt next year, creating an event that is now being extended to four days.
From 4-7 May 2015, the international textile and clothing industry will meet for the 16th time, with Techtextil running in parallel with Texprocess.
Techtextil focuses on technical textiles and nonwovens, and will be supplemented by an accompanying programme of expert presentations on current developments and trends in research and industry.
Texprocess, meanwhile, intends to expand its product line-up further in 2015, putting a greater focus on the clothing industry. It will also feature the Source It procurement platform.
Techtextil 2015: now open for registrations
Extended: four days and held in parallel with Texprocess
Enlarged: additional hall level for even more textile innovations
Four halls, four days and a new Monday-to-Thursday schedule: This clear further development of Techtextil in Frankfurt sets the course for further growth. From 4 to 7 May 2015 the international textile and clothing industry will be meeting for the 16th time at the leading international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens. Techtextil will thus be running in parallel with Texprocess, the leading trade fair for processing textile and flexible materials. Registrations for Techtextil are now being accepted.
With double-digit growth figures among exhibitors and visitors in 2013, Techtextil consolidated its position as the global hub of a highly innovative industry. "Over 27,400 trade visitors admired and bought innovative products from 1,330 exhibitors. The stands were sometimes overcrowded, and visitors had to wait for long periods of time. Moreover, many exhibitors and visitors said they would appreciate more time for the parallel exhibition, Texprocess," says Detlef Braun, Member of the Executive Board of Messe Frankfurt. "We therefore decided to change the trade fair format and opened a new hall that would meet numerous requests for bigger stands."
Techtextil: a centre for textile innovations
Techtextil will be supplemented by a comprehensive accompanying programme, including expert presentations and competitions on current developments and trends in research and industry. The thematic blocks will be based on three global trends: lightweight construction, multifunctionality of textiles and sustainability. Technical textiles and nonwovens provide increasingly innovative solutions for these and other challenges - and indeed across all sectors of industry.
Thanks to the clothing expertise of Texprocess, Techtextil will put a major joint focus on four areas of application: Clothtech, Medtech, Protech and Sporttech. "By using the new Hall 6.1, we are providing more space for these areas and also for the growing product group of functional apparel textiles. The close spatial proximity to the simultaneous Texprocess exhibition will above all benefit trade visitors from the clothing industry, as it provides them with a wider range," says Braun.
Techtextil is a leading international trade fair, featuring all the product groups and applications in technical textiles and nonwovens. In June 2013 over 27,400 trade visitors from 97 countries came to see innovations presented by 1,330 exhibitors from 48 countries. About 44 per cent of all Texprocess visitors also decided to gather information at Techtextil. In all, the trade fair duo recorded 1,652 exhibitors and 40,000 international visitors.

In Feldis time and clocks tick differently - in more relaxed manner. Here you find time to let your mind wander, the possibility to tank new energy and refuel spent resources far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Pristine nature in Feldis - the small and lovely destination - is the makings of a pleasurable and relaxing experience for both young and old. A village shop and chairlift are, however, found here, together with some amazing fauna and flora - and panoramic views from the mountains are legendary. From Feldis views extend over the Piz Bever, Tödi, Ringelspitz and Calanda summits and beyond.
With the cable car from Rhäzüns, suspended high above the Rhine floodplain - or even with a PostBus ride or journey in your own car as you travel the mountain road from Rothenbrunnen via Scheid - Feldis, safe and spectacularly scenic journeys are a sure at any time of the year.
Alpine flowers such as the Tiger lily, Turk's cap lily, Paradisea, Lobelia and many other rare alpine flowers are discovered in the meadows around Feldis. And if you look forward to panoramic views of the Graubünden mountains, a chairlift ride straight to the Feldis hiker's highland paradise is your best bet. Those who come across a wooden figure between Feldis and Dreibündenstein may be happy to know there are another twelve yet to be discovered: Female characters, created with a chainsaw and Feldis Larch by Stefan Pretty, a sought-after contemporary sculptor.
Sledding, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, winter hiking, ice-skating, a curling game or simply sitting back to enjoy life, panoramic views and the sun. A chairlift leads directly to the natural Feldis highlands paradise - and almost legendary is the natural ice rink on the Alp Raguta, at just a few steps from the mountain station of the chairlift.
But if you'd like to opt for a somewhat different activity, how about sitting in the cockpit of a 8.5 ton snow groomer to see how the slopes are prepared and leveled with concentrated power - you can do this as well in Feldis!

Officially, the Big Dig will be taking place on Saturday, October 27, but the Concordia School got a head start.
This morning the students of the Concordia Learning Center were able to plant tulip bulbs in front of the school as part of Big Dig 2012.
The Big Dig is a project created in partnership with Jersey City and the Jersey City Parks Coalition as part of "Make A Difference Day." Last year volunteers planted more than 18,000 tulip and daffodil bulbs throughout Jersey City parks and intersections. This year's goal is to plant more than 30,000 bulbs.
More than 60 students from the school were able to plant the bulbs along the front of the building, Executive Director of the Concordia School, Judy Ortman said.
"The students have the opportunity to learn and understand the full growing cycle thanks to this project," she said.
The students of the special needs school range from three years old to 21, Ortman said, and they also have a pre-school for regular education with 105 three-year-old children.
"The school will be beautiful come spring. Once the flowers bloom, we can have classes like flower arranging for the adult students" she added.
Laura Skolar, President of the Jersey City Parks Coalition, said that last year they planted at the A. Harry Moore school and she saw that even though some children were in wheelchairs, "it wasn't so rigorous" and they were still able to participate, so she approached the Concordia School who agreed.
Skolar added that firefighters from Engine 7 of the Jersey City Fire Department helped get things started by digging the holes for the students to drop in the daffodil bulbs that will bloom in the spring.
Big Dig won a Make A Difference Day Award from USA Weekend Magazine in April of 2012 which included a $10,000 donation for the Jersey City Parks Coalition.

Our first cruise was on Carnival almost 10 years ago and we really had a good time. Our second cruise was on Royal Caribbean and after that, we decided we would never do a cruise with Carnival again. We are glad we gave it another try. We would sail with Carnival again.
Our very first impression wasn't good. It took us over 2 hours to get on board. There is no excuse for lines that long. There just were not enough people to process all the people. We arrived at 1:15 and didn't get on board until after 3:00. We have NEVER had to wait that long. We were told that the "Groove Cruise" charter before us was to blame because it took them so long to get everyone off the ship and have it ready for us, backing up the early check-in lines and jamming the entire process. A better bet may have been to arrive at 3:00 instead. On the upside, our cabin was ready and our luggage was already there.
The entire purpose of our cruise was a quick, and cheap, getaway. We knew from our past experience not to expect much. We were pleasantly surprised. The Inspiration is a very nice ship. While the décor was more "cheap 70s plastic" than what we had become more accustomed to, we didn't mind. It reminded us a bit of old school Vegas. The exception was the absolutely beautiful library. Very well done.
After setting down our things in our stateroom, we grabbed a bit to eat at the buffet. We purchased one soda package at the bar inside, but had to find a place on the pool deck to purchase the tumbler. We were also surprised that there was virtually no wait staff in the dining area. While we expected to get our own drinks, on other lines, the wait staff offered to help find us a table, bring us drinks, etc. Still, we found a good table with an aft window view and enjoyed a casual lunch. We then decided it was time to grab a cocktail and find our muster station. We were muster M, which turned out to be the Candlelight lounge right below the buffet and just above our restaurant and stateroom. Perfect. We sat and visited with another cruiser while the muster drill was called and the room started to fill up. Muster went without a hitch and we headed out to the pool deck.
Out on the pool deck, we purchased a tumbler and were approached at least six times in ten minutes asking if we wanted to try the Drink of the Day. No we knew where the all the staff was. This was pretty much the theme for the rest of the cruise. When we did order, they pushed us to order more. Order a beer, they try and talk you into a bucket. Order a mixed drink, they try and talk you into a double. There is also a 15% gratuity automatically added to each drink order. Something we were a bit surprised by at first, but also decided it was fine. I usually tip a little better than that so the 15% actually worked out OK.
We always choose late seating but decided to skip the sail-away show in favor of exploring the ship. We then went to our stateroom to change for dinner. We were seated at a 10-top and had a great time with all of the couples at our table. Two of the couples did attend the sail-away show but were not impressed and left before it was over. Our server, Christopher, was excellent. He worked very hard and never missed any detail. Our assistant waiter was slow to refill drinks and handle bread service. We found it awkward that the bartender had to bring out soda, even if we had the soda package. If that is the way other lines work, they make it more seamless. Dinner service was quick but not rushed. The food selection was great and all of the dishes were well prepared and tasted very good. The only thing that was odd, is the portion sizes were very small. While you can (and we did) order more than one item, we were surprised that even the baked potato was smaller than a baseball. I do have one tip on a desert to avoid. The sugar free pumpkin pie. The only thing that resembled pumpkin pie was the shape. The color, texture, taste and consistency were all WAY OFF. Christopher encouraged us to order ice cream with it. We found out later it was because he has never had a guest that ordered it and liked it, but oddly enough, he didn't tell us at the time not to order it. We dined in the main dining room every night and enjoyed it.
The entertainment on board was good, but not great. There were two comedians on board (Thomas Brown and John Caponera) and we liked them both. Our cruse director was Jeff Brrronson and we were told this was his first cruise as a cruise director. He did the love and marriage show, which we found to be pretty funny. I guess we were easy to please in the laughs department. While we skipped the sail-away show and the "Fiesta Latina" show, we did take in "Shout" in the main theater. First a word about the theater. It was set up more like a lounge with a balcony. It was even called the "Paris Lounge". The problem is the sight lines were poor as a result. There wasn't enough of an upward angle and most seats in the balcony were obstructed in some way. As for the show, we knew it wasn't going to be a full broadway production show, we didn't expect it to be as plain as it was. The music was good, but stuck to very common tunes. Only the two lead vocalists were performing live as the ensemble was dance only. The choreography was uninspired and the costumes were not very elaborate. The performers were also good, but not great. The vocal range of the lead was limited , but within range, was very good. Even though our expectations were low, they were not met by this show. The best entertainment we had all cruise may have been out on the pool deck with the DJ. This is where the fun was at and where we spent most of our time, either just lounging around reading a book or sitting in the hot tub.
In all, we had a very good time. It was just about what we expected for the price, nothing fancy, spectacular or breathtaking. Good service, good food and decent accommodations. Overall, this cruise was a good vacation value that afforded us the opportunity to relax and unwind, which was just what we needed.
We took the advice offered by Carnival and left the ship early. The Fun Times suggested that we should leave prior to 9:30 or after 11:30. We were ashore by 9am and encountered no lines. Others we spoke to tried to leave the ship around 10am and found the lines to be very long.
We decided to purchase the Casino - Behind the Scenes tour from a local operator on the dock. It is exactly the same tour, given by the same tour guide, for less than Carnival charges on board. the tour was excellent, but more about that in a moment. The tour didn't start until 12:30 and here it was 9:00, what to do now?
We found a great little miniature golf course that was unlike any other course I've ever seen. It was in a garden are with lots of shade and very fun hole layout. No dragons and windmills here. Just good fun in a cool place. It is located just a couple of blocks from the dock. After that, we stopped in at Vons (grocery store) and picked up some snacks and water then sat down in some shade. After wondering around through the shops, we decided to head for the Casino. There is a little restaurant next door that serves some of the best fish tacos. We had a quick bite to eat and then went to the tour.
The tour was excellent and the tour guide made that possible. One of the best tour guides we have ever had, anywhere. Great projection and enunciation. No trouble hearing or understanding anything. You start at the backstage door and are treated to a typical theater backstage arrangement with original lighting panels and rail controls. From there you walk out on stage where the view of the auditorium is spectacular. The guide talks about the artwork on the walls and then walks you past the pipe organ where you learn what makes it go. Then you are seated in the theater for a short film before making your way to the lobby. Next is a stop at the dressing rooms, green room and other backstage areas typical of live theater. The guide then walks you up the ramps where you are eventually taken to the projection room, private viewing room and a few other treats. The final stop is the large ballroom and a walk outside with an excellent view of Catalina's Avalon Harbor area. The tour is every bit of 90 minutes and does require walking and climbing stairs, but it isn't strenuous. It is about a 20 minute walk from the Casino to the dock.
We chose to board the ship after the tour, again avoiding long lines at the tender station.
Nothing too exciting here. We visited Papas and Beer for what turned out to be more of a typical US Mexican bar than a bar in Mexico. We also wondered by all the shops and made a few small purchases. We walked to and from the ship, but the busses to downtown are just a couple of dollars per person.

Does this display 480i games fine as well? (e.g. Rayman)
I have one. I got it off of ebay. It works great on my 19inch lcd monitor. The picture quailty is a 100% improvement over a composite connection and the colors don't look washed out at all. I would buy it again in a second. The unit works great bottom line.

it only says 480p but ya never know i mean it allows 1080i :x
480p, 1080i/540p, 720p are the specs. the Wii only has a settings for 480p anyways. the rest is up to your TV.
Not to say this wouldn't work, but here's some of my experience with Wii to VGA.
I think being honest, that a scaler might be needed to get this idea to work. But then again who knows.
so basically this does the same job as the adapter or switch i posted? cept for DVI? seems kinda small to convert an HD signal from the Wii to DVI HD.
it says it does but i dont know. its hard to trust anything without actual proof or testing, or reviews from the people.
thats why i, and many others are askin on the forums for people with experience. i know Wii is new but the concept of conversion is the same.
what most of us on the forums are asking is, wether it be for TFT 19" monitors, projectors, etc, can we Convert the HDTV component cables that the Wii has into something that our display device can use as an input, since not all HD compatible displays have Component. (provided the display device can handle HD signals).
main question is would this conversion work or would it need a 150+$ scaler/box. personally i think the scaler is just a box to convert a regular signal INTO HD. im hearing alot of points of view but still aint 100% yet, as most of us here. the Wii in a sense is the Box that sends the HD signal, just need a simple converter, cable1 to cable2.
this post refers to any kind of conversion, not just VGA. S-Video and DVI HD cables too for those who need. As well as other systems, like Xbox360 and PS3, altho i think ill get flamed for using the ps3 word here
anyways this is still an interesting topic for research about. i hope this post isnt to much of a novel, bored at school
moral of the story, the research continues

All evidence points to needing a scaler box so far.
your prolly 100% right but 200-300$ for those is what makes me keep the hope alive for something cheaper, lol.
well, i guess im not lookin for a perfect conversion, but something that enables HD with wii and looks better then a regular signal.
My projector only accepts HD through the VGA input, so I bought a 50' Component to VGA cable to hook my 360. The picture looks great, no signal loss. Here's a link to someone on ebay who sells them. I didn't buy my cable from him, but I did just buy a component switcher form him, and it was a smooth transaction.
Component to VGA Cable
whats the name of the switcher? can you give a possible link?
maybe you can use that cable you posted instead just with a component in to componenet out switch/adapter. i was searching for Componenet Female to VGA out cables and like... theres none.
thanks for the response.
Thing is you have to remember 480p isn't *really* HD, at least not like your TV, or Xbox, or PS3 is. All you'll get running 480p is a bit brighter picture and a bit sharper image. There's no way to run HD to get a higher quality image without a scaler to 720p or 1080i/p.
I'm not pretending to be an expert, just my understanding of this, I might wel be wrong.

George Stubbs1724 - 1806
Painter, Printmaker
Born: August 25, 1724, Liverpool, England
Died: July 10, 1806
George Stubbs is primarily thought of as a self-taught artist. However, at age 15, he was briefly apprenticed to painter Hamlet Winstanley. In 1745, Stubbs moved to York and made a career as a portrait painter. His interest in animals led him to study anatomy at York Hospital. After traveling to Rome, in 1754, Stubbs began an extensive study of horse anatomy. He stripped away tissue and muscles, making detailed sketches of each layer. He studied the musculature in various positions and illustrated The Anatomy of a Horse, published in 1756. By the 1760s, Stubbs had developed a considerable reputation as a painter who specialized in hunting and shooting scenes and had attracted a number of distinguished patrons. In the 1780s, he began experimenting with enamels and printmaking, learning mezzotint, soft ground, and etching techniques.
Stubbs was elected Director of the Society of Artists in 1766, an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1780, and a Royal Academician in 1781. His work is recognized in many private collections and museums, including the National Gallery of Art, the British Museum, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Tate Gallery, and the National Museum of Wildlife Art.

Now Michigan, officially, is a leader to land him.
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound defensive end from Southfield included the Wolverines among his five leaders, which were announced Friday morning on Twitter. Michigan State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and USC also made the cut.
Marshall would be a major get for the Wolverines. He is ranked the No. 19 weak-side defensive end in the country according to Rivals and No. 12 per Scout and ESPN.
He's the 107th-best overall player in the country per ESPN.
Michigan's 2014 class already features two of the state's best recruits in receivers Drake Harris and Maurice Ways, and they, along with fellow members of the Wolverines' class, have been recruiting Marshall to Ann Arbor for weeks.
"We want to have the best class in 2014," said Ways, from Beverly Hills, located only 5 miles from Southfield. "And then we want to take that class and become the best team in 2014. We got a good mind-set right now and we have a special class already. We feel Marshall and those guys could make it even more special."
Michigan also is wooing a few other defensive ends, and is a leader for two of the best in No. 1 overall player Da'Shawn Hand (Woodbridge, Va.) and No. 21 overall player Malik McDowell (Detroit Loyola), per Rivals.
But Marshall is a major prize as well -- and could become the second former Ohio State commit to switch his allegiances to Michigan since Brady Hoke's arrival, joining five-star offensive lineman Kyle Kalis is 2012.
Marshall said a visit to Michigan "opened my eyes" about what the Wolverines could offer him, according to the Detroit News.
"Talking to players like Denard Robinson -- he was telling me the good and bad and just being real with me," Marshall said in the story. "Seeing everything, talking to the coaching staff -- all the coaching staff was up there and I was talking to everybody.
"I literally spent the whole day with Brady Hoke. I was also with (former defensive line coach Jerry) Montgomery, Coach (Greg) Mattison, Coach (Fred) Jackson. It was one-on-one the whole day."
Marshall said Mattison told him he he'd fill a Terrell Suggs-type role at Michigan. Mattison coached the All-Pro defensive end while with the Baltimore Ravens from 2008-10.

New York Yankees infielder Eduardo Nunez sat inside the Charleston RiverDogs dugout along the first base line and couldn't help but smile.
It had been six years since Nunez had last stepped foot inside in the RiverDogs dugout, and to be honest, the Yankees utility infielder thought that he'd never return to Riley Park after getting promoted to High-A ball during the 2007 season.
But an injury early in the season and rainy weather in the Tampa area conspired to send the former Charleston RiverDogs shortstop back to the Lowcountry.
And Nunez was just fine with that.
The last time Nunez, 26, played for the RiverDogs during parts of the 2006 and 2007 seasons, he was a quiet 19-year-old kid trying to find his way through professional baseball. Nunez said the time he spent in Charleston helped prepare him for the big leagues and was crucial in his development.
"I think this is where I learned how to be a professional," said Nunez, who played in 181 games over two seasons for the RiverDogs. "I enjoyed playing here. The fans were always so supportive and nice to me. Coming back has kind of given me a chance to say thank you. I never thought I'd ever play here, but this was a fun place to play."
Nunez and Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez were in Charleston Tuesday night as part of rehab assignment. Rodriguez had offseason hip surgery and had not played all season, while Nunez strained his left oblique and was put on the disabled list back in early May.
With Derek Jeter still recovering from a broken ankle he suffered during last year's playoffs, Nunez was the Yankees' opening day starter at shortstop. He had hoped this would be a breakout season for him and the first step toward replacing the Yankees captain at shortstop.
Since being called up by the Yankees in 2010, Nunez has been used to rest Jeter and Rodriguez at shortstop or third. Over four seasons, Nunez has played in 207 games and has a .261 batting average. In 2012, he hit a career high .292 in 38 games.
"It's never a good time to get injured, but with Derek and Alex out, I was going to be on the field almost every day," Nunez said. "It was an opportunity for me to show what I could do."
Nunez began to feel some pain in his rib cage after nearly every swing of the bat in early May. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list on May 12, hopeful to return by Memorial Day, but the pain persisted and he was transferred to the 60-day disabled list.
Nunez took his first swings in a competitive game Tuesday night for the RiverDogs. The Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic native had two hits in three at bats against the Rome Braves and said he felt no pain after the game.
"It was good to be back out there," Nunez said. "I felt pretty good. It was good to get a couple of hits. My timing is still a little off, but this is the first step toward getting back to New York. Hopefully, a couple of more games and I'll be fine. I haven't played for eight weeks, so I'd like to get as many at bats as I can before I go back up."
Remembering what it was like as young professional player, Nunez said he's already taken time to talk with some of the RiverDogs teammates.
"When I was coming up, the veteran guys would talk to me and help me out," Nunez said. "Jeter and (Robinson) Cano were always good to me and always trying to help me get better. Now, it's my turn to pass that knowledge onto the young guys here."

Category: last names
Like Jenny-from-the-block (well maybe not quite), I was a roller-skating, rope-jumping, potsy- (hopscotch to you) playing child of the Bronx streets. At that time I was completely unaware of how the mostly pretentious –sounding names of those streets might have referred back to past heroic figures (Popham? Burnside? Bathgate?). In my mind what they were identified with was the kids I knew who lived on them—Nelson Avenue was associated with the Mazur sisters, Jessup with my classmate Nancy, Loring with my bf Margery's grandmother, and Shakespeare with my elementary school.
(One name that fascinated me and couldn't be ignored was Featherbed Lane, a street that I passed on the way to school every day and was home to my Aunt Pearl and family. It was only later that I discovered the probable origins of the name—that during the Revolutionary War, locals covered the street with feather beds so that the soldiers fighting the British could move quietly through the area—though there were other explanations as well.)
Here are some of the mostly surname names from my neighborhood and beyond:
(Mt) EDEN
During my childhood, if you were from the Bronx, it was practically in your DNA to hate all things Brooklyn. But now that I've matured into a more rational and objective name observer, I do have to admit that that other borough does have a better selection of street names—less stuffy and a lot more that are actually suited to a baby. In fact there are so many Courts and Places with standard first names that you have to wonder if the streets weren't named after the builders' own babies.
Here's a selection—there are lots more:
In the course of leading a basically bicoastal life, I've had the opportunity to spend a lot of time walking and driving the streets of both New York and L.A. And I have to say, as rhythmic and melodious as so many of the California names are– e.g. Alameda, Amanita, Mariposa, Morella– for native New Yorker me there's nothing like the solid, straight-forward, usable street names of downtown Manhattan, from Greenwich Village to the Wall Street area, names resonant with references to early American history.
The names of these meandering streets, lanes and alleys were subject to shifting trends. Many British names were changed after the Revolutionary War, for example, and for a time fashion dictated that streets named for local property owners would carry the first names only. Leaders in the War of 1812 provided a goodly share of names, as did figures connected to Trinity Church.
Here are Lower Manhattan street names with their historical roots–any of which would make a possible namesake.
ALLEN — after War of 1812 hero Captain William Henry Allen
ANN – named for either a member of the Beekman clan or the wife of Captain William Henry Allen
ASTOR –named for John Jacob Astor, "the richest man in America"
BARCLAY – Reverend Henry Barclay was the second rector of Trinity Church
BARROW— artist Thomas Barrow was known for his portraits of Trinity Church
BAXTER—originally called Orange Street, renamed for Mexican War hero Colonel Charles Baxter
BAYARD –Nicholas Bayard was mayor of NY in 1686
BENSON — Egbert Benson was New York's first Attorney General
BETHUNE—named for philanthropist Johanna Graham Bethune
BLEECKER—the street ran through the farm of Anthony L. Bleecker
CARMINE—for Trinity Church vestryman Nicolas Carman (sic)
CATHERINE – the wife of land owner Henry Rutgers
CHARLES ––named for landowner Charles Christopher Amos
CHARLTON — Dr. John Charlton, an English-born surgeon, became president of the N.Y. Medical Society
CHRISTOPHER—also named for Charles Christopher Amos, a local landowner
CHRYSTIE – named for Lt.-Col. John Christie (sic), killed in the War of 1812
CLARKSON – Revolutionary War hero Matthew Clarkson
CLINTON— George Clinton, was a Revolutionary War hero and the first governor of New York State
CORNELIA – a beloved granddaughter of landowner Robert Herring
CROSBY – named for William Bedlow Crosby, who inherited much of the Lower East Side
DELANCEY – named after James De Lancey, Sr, whose farm was located in what is now the LES
DUANE –James Duane was an early mayor of the city
ELDRIDGE –named for a Lieutenant killed in the War of 1812
ELIZABETH — unknown
ESSEX – named for the English county (as were nearby Norfolk and Suffolk Streets)
The boys' names that ranked among the Top 1000 in 1880, the first year for which statistics were kept, include hundreds of choices no longer in use – or at least very rarely heard. Some of the categories of lost names overlap with the now-obscure girls' names, while others are different.
Nickname-names, for instance, so packed with lost names for girls, include some lost choices for boys, though more of the nickname names in use in the late 19th century are still widely used today: Joe, Jack, Jake, Jim, and so on.
Those nickname names we're not hearing much of any more but which were popular in 1880 include:
Just when it seemed that the stormy seas of extreme celebrity baby names were calming down (you can see our comments on this at Celebrity Babies Blog), a new crop has come along introducing a whole bunch of innovative choices, ranging from the ridiculous to the semi-sublime:
BARDOT (first name of David Boreanaz's daughter) Following in the footsteps of Harlow and other Hollywood sirens and sex kittens of the past(Dad Boreanaz admitted being inspired by a Brigitte Bardot poster), Bardot could easily fit in with the growing group of o-ending girls' names: Juno, Lilo, Willow, etc.
BETSI (middle name of Ioan Gruffudd & Alice Evans' daughter Ella). Much to my surprise, I find this new take on an old name—I'm not usually a big fan of changing y's to i's— appealingly fresh, cute and perky.
They're not like those jaunty Irish surnames that kind of jump out and hit you in the face–no way you could see Finnegan or Donovan as anything else. But Scottish surnames, somewhat more subtly, have affected American nomenclature to a surprising degree.
Many that could pass for Irish or English are actually old Scottish clan names, and several have long been accepted as first names in this country–a list that includes Allan, Bruce, Douglas, Leslie, Mitchell, Murray, Stewart, Gordon, Lindsay, and, of course, Scott.
Scottish surnames are divided into two groups: Highland and Lowland. Highlanders didn't use fixed family names until relatively late–until the 1700's a man was often designated by his father's name or would adopt the last name of a laird to curry his favor. It was the Gaelic Highlanders who used the prefix 'Mac' to denote 'son of".

finally I found a shirt design for people without huge arms, no shoulders or a beer gut. i'm usually on the fence between medium and large but got the large because its cotton. washed it in warm water, dried it; shrank a little and fits perfect for my average build (5'-10, 165 lbs.). fabric and stitching quality are excellent.

Iran announced yesterday that it was cutting off oil supplies to Britain and France as Tehran faced the threat of another round of punitive economic sanctions.
With UN nuclear inspectors due in the country today to gather evidence of Iran's illicit atomic weapons programme, William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, called for restraint.
If Iran blocks the monitors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) it could help to trigger an armed strike from Israel, which is continuing to warn that "no options are off the table" in dealing with Tehran's atomic weaponry.

More and more systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy studies are being published, but they can be methodologically challenging. In this paper, the authors present some of the recent developments in the methodology for conducting systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy studies. Restrictive electronic search filters are discouraged, as is the use of summary quality scores. Methods for meta-analysis should take into account the paired nature of the estimates and their dependence on threshold. Authors of these reviews are advised to use the hierarchical summary receiver-operating characteristic or the bivariate model for the data analysis. Challenges that remain are the poor reporting of original diagnostic test accuracy studies and difficulties with the interpretation of the results of diagnostic test accuracy research.
Data from reference (31). Data are presented as the proportion of included studies. Criteria that are unclear or not met introduce a risk for bias. The authors considered the relative lack of an acceptable reference standard as the main weakness of the review.
Data from reference (10). Each study is represented by a small box positioned at the estimated sensitivity and specificity. The height and width of each box are proportional to the numbers of patients with and without bladder cancer, respectively, in each study. Top. This panel shows the summary ROC curve that can be drawn through these values. The scatter of the points fit, to a degree, with the existence of a threshold-type relationship between sensitivity and specificity. The curve is an estimate of the underlying relationship between sensitivity and specificity for the test used across varying thresholds. Bottom. This panel shows the average sensitivity and specificity estimate of the study results (solid circle) and a 95% confidence region around it. Estimation of a summary point only makes sense when the included studies have used a common threshold. The curves, points, and confidence regions can be estimated by using either the hierarchical summary ROC curve model (36, 54–56) or the bivariate random-effects model (53, 57).
FN = false-negative; FP = false-positive; TN = true-negative; TP = true-positive. Data are from reference (10). Forest plots document the extracted data for each study (numbers of TP, FP, FN, and TN results) together with estimates of sensitivity and specificity accompanied by 95% CIs. The scatter of the estimates and CIs indicates that the variability in sensitivity and specificity is unlikely to be explained by chance only, but it is not possible to ascertain whether a threshold-type relationship is evident.
Data are from reference (10). The meta-analysis is restricted to studies that made a direct comparison between the tests by using both tests in each patient and comparing them with the reference standard of invasive cystoscopy. Restriction of the meta-analysis to direct test comparisons reduces concerns of confounding and allows stronger inferences to be drawn from the comparison of tests. The dashed lines link together the cytology and bladder tumor antigen results from each study and give the impression that bladder tumor antigen is much more sensitive but less specific than cytology. Top. Summary receiver-operating characteristic curves fitted to the data indicate that the bladder tumor antigen curve dominates the cytology curve as specificity decreases. Thus, bladder tumor antigen has the potential to be a more sensitive test than cytology, but only at specificities below 90%. Bottom. Cytology has an average sensitivity of 0.43 and an average specificity of 0.94 (black circle); bladder tumor antigen has an average sensitivity of 0.78 and an average specificity of 0.74 (green circle). The nonoverlapping 95% confidence regions indicate that the differences between the tests are unlikely to have occurred by chance alone.

The Newberry Seminar in Early American History, co-sponsored by the University of Chicago, DePaul University, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Northern Illinois University, and Northwestern University present:
"Howls, Snarls, and Musket Shots: Communication and Territory in Colonial New England"
Jon T. Coleman, Yale University
The colonization of New England exposed a deadly flaw in human communication: language did not travel well. To bridge their cultural differences, New England's humans borrowed other animals' signals and transformed the region's wildlife into cross-cultural symbols. Wolves participated in conquest as livestock devourers and communication facilitators. The Algonquians natives modeled their war cries on wolf howls; colonists and natives employed wolves as metaphors in diplomatic negotiations; and, finally, the severed heads of Indians and wolves decorated English towns, serving as the ultimate markers of territory. Wolves died in the thousands for their inability to understand humans as well as the humans' inability to understand each other.
We will pre-circulate papers electronically. To receive a copy please e-mail or call. Please include your e-mail address in all correspondence. The seminar format assumes that all participants have read the essay in advance, and that those requesting will attend the seminar.
Please do not request a paper unless you plan to attend.
We encourage faculty members to call the seminar to the attention of graduate students.
The full schedule for this and other Scholl Center seminars is available at our website.

Guide To Hemorrhagic Cysts Treatment
A Hemorrhagic cyst sounds terrifying, but in reality is generally a completely natural plus normal part of the menstrual cycle of numerous women. The majority of hemorrhagic cysts disappear before you are aware that you have one. But for those of us with a bit less luck we can be debilitated by these cysts. Though the majority of these cysts are technically harmless, sometimes their effect can be so great that you need to go in for hemorrhagic cysts treatment.
What is a hemorrhagic cyst?
A hemorrhagic cyst is one where bleeding occurs inside the cyst. The most evident symptom is a jagged pain in your right side before ovulation. Oral birth control pills are generally prescribed for hemorrhagic cysts treatment as they can prevent ovulation, and so stop the cyst forming in the first place.
Unfortunately there are certain flaws in this form of treatment.
• Longer term utilization of birth control pills comes with its own risks. These risks far outweigh the risk related with hemorrhagic cyst.
• This form of treatment is obviously no good where you are hoping to conceive.
• Once you stop taking the pill, the cyst is likely to come back
There can be times when the hemorrhagic cysts treatment at home or with prescription medication just does not stop the pain. In these cases it is not unusual for your doctor to get an ultrasound done so that he or she can have a better look at your cyst and decide whether it needs to be removed.
Size alone will not determine whether the doctor will remove the cyst or not. Though an ultrasound can display cyst which are bigger than a centimeter, it is not unheard of for cysts of up to 6 cm to go away without further treatment – although obviously the bigger the cyst gets, the more likely it is to cause problems.
In some cases women will have their cyst removed surgically. Surgery however does not guarantee that cysts will not return, as it does not tackle the underlying cause. Natural hemorrhagic cysts treatment has become a popular alternative to traditional medical treatment.
Hemorrhagic cysts (and indeed all ovarian cysts) are merely symptoms of an enormous imbalance within the body. This can not only be treated naturally, but by doing so your cysts can even be permanently prevented from returning.

PASSAIC — The third time was the charm for Steven Ontell.
The first two times worked out pretty well, too.
The retired Passaic police officer has defied the odds once more and last week collected his third large lottery prize in less than five years.
Ontell's latest stroke of good fortune came Sept. 6 when he matched five numbers in the Mega Millions drawing. The standard $250,000 payout became $1 million, though, because Ontell chose the Megaplier option when he purchased his ticket at Marina Sweet Shop in Passaic.
The odds of a Mega Millions ticket matching five numbers are 3,904,701 to 1.
Ontell's run of amazing fortune began in March 2009 when he matched five numbers and won $250,000 playing Mega Millions. At that point he realized he could win even more using the lottery's mutiplier options.
That helped him turn a $10,000 Powerball payout in November 2011 into a $40,000 windfall when he paid an extra $1 to for the Powerplay.
If he has any grand plans for his money, Ontell kept it to himself. "I will invest it with the broker who helped me with all of my winnings, " he told lottery officials.
Ontell, a regular at Marina Sweet Shop, has struck up a friendship with owner Bharat Shah through the years and brought the shopkeeper with him to New Jersey Lottery headquarters to claim his largest prize. Shah didn't leave empty-handed, either, pocketing a $10,000 commission for selling the ticket.
Ontell retired from the Passaic police department in 1995 after 30 years on the job and also collects an annual pension of $48,051, public records indicate.
• $1M Mega Millions ticket sold in N.J.

Rivermen Comeback Ends in 5-4 Overtime Loss
|Nathan Oystrick recorded the first four-point night of his professional career with two goals and two assists in Peoria's 5-4 overtime loss to Milwaukee.
Trailing 4-0 midway through the game, the Peoria Rivermen rattled off four unanswered goals of their own to force overtime before falling to the Milwaukee Admirals on Sunday at Carver Arena. Nathan Oystrick's four points (2g, 2a) and T.J Hensick's three third-period assists were not enough for the win, but extended Peoria's point streak to a season-long nine games (7-0-2).
Peoria scored a pair of power-play goals within 13 seconds of one another to put the Rivermen within one at 12:56 of the third before Oystrick slammed in the game-tying goal with 1:39 left. The three quick goals was the Rivermen response to Milwaukee's three goals in 3:03 that they posted during the second frame.
Jake Allen took the loss for the Rivermen with 23 saves on 28 shots while his record dropped to 9-1-1 on the season.
The Admirals first goal came late in the first period on a power-play goal from Aaron Johnson at 15:29. Johnson received a pass from Jonathan Blum near the bottom of the left circle and his one timer was able to get by a sliding Allen for Johnson's first of two in the game.
Johnson scored his second of the game and sixth of the year during four-on-four play in a two-on-one with Jonathan Blum. Linus Klasen scored his team leading 12th at 11:19 and Blake Geoffrion followed up with his first goal of the year on the power play just 39 seconds later.
The Rivermen response was swift as Nathan Oystrick buried his fifth of the year on a wrist shot in the slot over the glove of Jeremy Smith at 12:34. Ryan Reaves and Brett Sonne each recorded assists on the goal.
A string of Admirals penalties led to a pair of Rivermen 5-on-3's. Mark Santorelli, Mike Bartlett and Blake Geoffrion all took minors within 3:10 of one another. Hensick setup Derek Nesbitt on a cross-crease pass for his second power-play goal in as many games at 12:43. Nikita Nikitin blasted a slapshot past Smith from the high slot just 13 seconds later to put the Rivermen back within one.
Hensick setup Oystrick's second goal on a similar cross-ice pass to the defenseman creeping in from the right point. Oystrick's fourth point matched Graham Mink's performance (1g, 3a) on Oct. 15 as the only two Rivermen this season to record four points in a game. Hensick also matched Mink, and Dave Scatchard, for the Rivermen season-high in assists with three.
The game ended 2:17 into overtime on Teemu Laakso's second goal of the season. His shot, from just inside the blueline, deflected off the crossbar and down into the net for the game-winner.
The Rivermen outshot Milwaukee 35-28 in the game and the only shot on goal in the extra frame was Laakso's tally. Each team finished at 2-for-5 on the power play.
Smith earned the win for Milwaukee stopping 31 shots for his third victory of the season.
The Rivermen will host the Grand Rapids Griffins on Saturday, Dec. 11 at 7:05 p.m. Peoria will honor the life of Rivermen Hall of Famer Michel Mongeau with a pregame ceremony and a commemorative canvas will be given away to the first 2,500 fans in attendance. It is also the annual Teddy Bear Toss and Coats for Kids drive to benefit the Crittenton Centers and the Salvation Army. For more information or to purchase tickets call 309-676-1040 or visit www.rivermen.net.

Featured Golf News
St. Andrews Links Achieves Environmental Accreditation
St. Andrews Links has become one of the first golf venues committed to achieving GEO Certification, the internationally recognized accreditation from the Golf Environment Organisation (GEO).
St. Andrews management team (left to right):
Communications Director Benjamin Warren;
CEO of St. Andrews Links Trust Alan McGregor;
Chief Executive, GEO Jonathan Smith;
Director of Greenkeeping, St. Andrews Links Trust, Gordon Moir.
Scotland's St. Andrews Links, which comprises seven public golf courses including the Old Course, enjoys an excellent reputation for its environmental practices. The links has been recognized on several occasions in recent years including receiving the Overall Award at the Golf Course Environment Awards run by the Sports Turf Research Institute in October 2009.
The new accreditation program aims to become the hallmark for sustainable golf and measures all aspects of a golf venue's operations from the courses to clubhouses and greenkeeping facilities. It was launched by the Golf Environment Organisation, a non-governmental organisation, at the BMW PGA Championship last May.
The Old Course will be one of the first links courses put forward for the program and it is hoped that the accreditation will be in place by the time of the 28th staging of the Open Championship at the Old Course in July.
Gordon Moir, director of greenkeeping at St. Andrews Links, said, "We place a great deal of emphasis on managing the courses and facilities in as sustainable a fashion as possible. There is a long tradition of sensitive and sustainable management at the Links and, as the 'Home of Golf,' we have a responsibility to take a lead in encouraging the golf industry to take these practices on board. This accreditation program is an excellent way of ensuring golf courses adopt this approach in a structured way and we look forward to working with the Golf Environment Organisation."
There are several major environmental projects currently being undertaken at the facility. A reedbed washdown area was recently established on the 17th hole of the Jubilee Course that enables water that has been used for washing machinery to be fed through two gravel beds which have been planted with common reed. The reeds filter out the impurities, allowing clean water to be discharged to a soak-away.
Other recent projects include dune-reinstatement work, an extensive grassland management program and soft engineering work for the coastal protection of Jubilee.
Jonathan Smith, chief executive of the Golf Environment Organisation, added, "Decades of strong leadership and responsible, balanced decision-making has positioned St. Andrews Links at the forefront of sustainable golf. They have been walking the walk in both the management and development of the courses, clubhouses and maintenance facilities."

Norman Lamb, the Health Minister, says wellbeing of pensioners being put in the hands of untrained care workers
Care home staff will have to undergo compulsory training under government plans to protect the elderly, it was reported last night.
Norman Lamb, the Health Minister, said that the lack of basic requirements for training care workers was leaving pensioners in the hands of staff who have "no idea what they are doing".
Proposals expected within weeks will suggest national minimum standards for preparing recruits to work in nursing homes. Carers who help with tasks such as washing and dressing elderly people in their own homes will also be required to have the training.

The U.S.-Mexico Border Summit opened Wednesday morning with high-ranking officials from both countries welcoming more than 600 Summit participants and national media to the three-day event focusing on the North America Free Trade Agreement and other important issues.
The 14th U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Norman Y. Mineta, delivered the keynote address. He discussed major transportation corridors and the Department's programs that will assist in the development and improvement of border transportation infrastructure and ability to safely process increasing traffic flows at border points of entry.
"On behalf of President Bush and Vice President Cheney, I welcome all our visitors from south of the border," Mineta said. "President Bush has said that this is a time for neighbors to help neighbors, and this Summit gives us all an opportunity to exchange ideas for leading the border region into a new era of unparalleled economic prosperity."
Mineta also discussed the proposed NAFTA highway, or Interstate 69, which will connect Mexico to Canada through America's heartland.
"Opening the border to Mexican buses and trucks by the beginning of next year will require considerable effort," Mineta said. "However, I am thoroughly convinced the United States can fulfill our NAFTA obligations without jeopardizing highway safety, either in our border communities or anywhere else in the nation, and I am fully committed to doing so."
Introducing Secretary Mineta was Congressman Rubén Hinojosa, who said he and other Texas state officials are ready to work with Mexico to improve trade, transportation and economies between countries. Hinojosa said the Border Summit is just one way two nations can come together to help improve the quality of life for every resident on both sides.
"All of us have seen the economy grow, and that has come from the NAFTA treaty," Hinojosa said. "Mexico has become the United States second largest trading partner."
Also during the opening session, Fernando Canales Clariond, constitutional governor of the Mexican State of Nuevo Leon, addressed the participants about his goals and dreams for Mexico. He said there was a need for the United States and Mexico to come together and solve the issues of water rationing, border crossing, petrochemicals and natural gas, and more.
"What I foresee in the future is that crossings will be faster than those that take place between Germany and France," Clariond said.
Also welcoming the Summit participants, panelists and speakers during the opening session were Dr. Miguel A. Nevárez, UTPA president; Roland S. Arriola, UTPA vice president for External Affairs; Dr. Jorge Santibañez, president of El Colegio de la Frontera Norte; Joe Ochoa, City of Edinburg mayor; and Eloy Pulido, Hidalgo County judge.

ST. GEORGE — Dorchester County Council is considering zoning some parcels in the rural environs outside Summerville that have not been zoned.
County Council this week moved to committee for study two recommendations from its planning commission:
— To establish "economic development" zones emphasizing business and industrial in small nodes of the rural community where businesses or industries already exist.
— To offer Voluntary Agricultural districts to existing farms as a method of protecting the farmland as adjoining land is developed. This would be the county's third try in three years to win support for any parcels of zoning in among 260,000 acres of the county that are now zoned "absence of control."
People who live in the country outside the booming Summerville suburbs have opposed zoning; they want autonomy. But the lack of zoning has contributed to a lack of jobs and other opportunities.
