Moore to Go Retro with Arnie Clothing Line
Arnie - a partnership between Arnold Palmer Enterprises and the co-founders of Quagmire Golf clothing - has announced that the PGA Tour's Ryan Moore will become the brand ambassador for the new golf and lifestyle apparel line directly inspired by Arnold Palmer's classic looks from the 1950s, 60s and 70s.
As part of this multi-year agreement, Moore will exclusively wear Arnie during all competitions, display the logo on his shirts, make appearances on behalf of the company and be featured in its marketing initiatives.
"Mr. Palmer is among my all-time idols as a golfer and a person, so competing in these clothes and being so closely associated with his style legacy is a dream come true," said Moore. "The research that went into each piece is really evident and when you combine those timeless elements with advanced technical fabrics you've got something great."
Consistently ranked among the sport's top-50 players, Moore has garnered worldwide acclaim for his skill as well as his attire, which has included throwback looks like skinny neck ties, cardigans and vests. In six full seasons on the PGA Tour, the 29-year-old American has one win, six runner-ups and an additional 20 top-10 finishes. Prior to turning pro, he had one of the best amateur careers in history, highlighted by a 2004 season that included victories at the U.S. Amateur, U.S. Public Links, NCAA Championship, Western Amateur and Sahalee Players Championship.
"When we discussed the guy to become the modern face of Arnie, Ryan was No. 1 on everyone's list," says Geoff Tait, creative director for Arnie and Quagmire. "He truly gets our vision and is a dapper guy who's always moving mainstream menswear trends onto the fairways."
Recently ranked one of "The 25 Coolest Athletes of All Time" by GQ, which previously named him one of the "50 Most Stylish Men of the Past 50 Years," Palmer was also honored as one of "The 75 Best Dressed Men of All Time" by Esquire. The Arnie collection was developed through researching primary source material - including Palmer's personal library of photographs and archive of historically significant garments. It is set for three deliveries in 2012, each with a distinct aesthetic:
1950s (February) - During this period, Palmer showcased slim, clean-fitting clothes. He preferred fitted pants and tops with short plackets, small collars and shorter sleeves. Red was a prominent color in his wardrobe and is exclusively found in the 1950s collection.
1960s (April) - While dominating the competition, Palmer was also looking the part. Wider legged pants, wider collars and longer shirt plackets were the style of the day.
1970s (July) - While piloting his own plane around the world, Palmer's wardrobe continued to evolve and set trends. He chose shirts with slightly wider collars and long plackets, but the fit of his pants more closely resembled a modern boot cut. His color palette also became more subdued, hence gray being the signature color exclusive to the 1970s collection.

Are the Tigers On the Verge of Disaster?
Heading into the 2014 Major League Baseball season, there weren't very many people around the baseball world who didn't have the Tigers winning the American League Central division. Citing the fact that the Tigers have one of the best starting rotations in all of baseball, in addition to a really good lineup that includes, arguably, the best hitter in all of baseball, Miguel Cabrera, a lot of pre season predictions had the Tigers completely running away with the division. But with around five weeks of games remaining in the season, the Tigers finishing in first place isn't a lock, as it was once viewed.
A game and a half back of the division leading Royals, the Tigers have some work to do to retake their lead in the Central.
Back on July 31st, the Tigers made a move that seemed certain to help them pull away from the Royals. In a three team trade with the Rays and Mariners, the Tigers sent Austin Jackson to Seattle, who in return sent Nick Franklin to the Rays, with the Tigers sending Drew Smyly and a prospect to the Rays in exchange for David Price.
Though Price hadn't been overly dominant before the trade went down, a team with David Price is much better off than a team without David Price. And that has proven to be true in his few starts since the trade.
In Price's most recent outing at his long time home, Tropicana Field, Price had one of his best games of the season. Going eight innings, giving up just a single hit, Price was fantastic on Thursday afternoon. However, Alex Cobb, who was on the mound for the opposing team, was just as good. In the end, despite the amazing pitching performance by Price, he was handed the loss, as the Tigers failed to provide any run support whatsoever.
If the Tigers want to win the division and not be faced with a one-game playoff that comes with a Wild Card spot — a spot that isn't guaranteed by any means, as the Mariners currently sit just a half game back of the second Wild Card — they're, obviously, going to have to start playing better as a team than they have been recently.
The day the David Price trade occurred, the Tigers were in a great spot. Sitting in first place, four games ahead of the Royals, the acquisition of Price looked to only improve their team, which was already seemingly on the way to another division title.
But while Price has done his job for the most part, as has the always terrific Max Scherzer, the remainder of the pitching staff, along with the lineup, has been hit and miss from one night to the next, with their entire bullpen being subpar at best.
Justin Verlander hasn't been the same caliber pitcher he once was in quite some time; Joe Nathan, who they acquired to strengthen their bullpen, hasn't been that great; and although Miguel Cabrera is having a good year, he's currently on pace to finish out the season around 20 home runs and 30 RBI's shy of the unbelievable numbers of 44 home runs and 137 RBI's he posted in 2013.
Those three players are going to have to catch fire for the Tigers to take off in any major way.
With the entire Tigers team underperforming for the most part at the moment, and with the Mariners right behind them, threatening to overtake their playoff chances, the Tigers are experiencing quite a bit of struggles. Though they'll likely find some sort of groove at some point in September, the Tigers are doing extremely poor in comparison to where they should be with the talent they have. If, somehow, the Tigers miss the postseason altogether, it would be nothing short of a disastrous season on their part.
Recapping My 2013 MiLB & MLB Baseball Season
Now that the 2013 Minor League Baseball season is over, and with no shot at attending any more MLB games this year, I can finally post a blog entry recapping my season out at the ballpark.
I managed to make it to 16 baseball games this season. Two of those were major league games — one up in Baltimore and one in Seattle — with the remaining fourteen being minor league games. In those minor league games, I saw numerous top prospects, as well as future Hall of Famer, Chipper Jones, on August 20th, at his number retirement ceremony in Durham. It was a great season, full of fun, and I thought I'd take the time to recap it all:
April 5th – Carolina Mudcats Vs. Winston Salem Dash
I went into this game looking forward to seeing Indians' top prospect, Francisco Lindor, and White Sox' top prospect, Courtney Hawkins. Both are sure to be future MLB stars, and both are exciting players to keep an eye on. I didn't get an autograph from Lindor at this particular game, but I did receive the bat that Hawkins cracked during his second at-bat of the game, in which he got a bloop-single:
(The bat is signed, but the auto is around the other side. It was done very hastily.)
April 9th – Durham Bulls Vs. Gwinnett Braves
Having one of the best opening day Bulls lineups ever — including Wil Myers, Jake Odorizzi, Chris Archer, and Hak-Ju Lee — I was excited to attend this game. I didn't get Myers, but I ended up with an autograph from both Lee and Brandon Guyer….:
….as well as a game home run ball hit by the Braves' Ernesto Mejia:
(This was my first ever home run ball.)
April 24th – Durham Bulls Vs. Toledo Mud Hens
I was hoping to get an autograph from Wil Myers at this game, since I was unsuccessful the last time, but I failed, once again. I did, however, get an auto from Mike Fontenot….:
….as well as a game homer from Tigers' number one prospect, Nick Castellanos:
(Castellanos was a September call-up by the Tigers.)
May 9th – Durham Bulls Vs. Syracuse Chiefs
Not much to say about this game. Just that I finally got Wil Myers to sign for me; once on a program, and once on a card:
(Myers is a top candidate for 2013 American League Rookie of the Year.)
May 14th – Carolina Mudcats Vs. Salem Red Sox
I didn't have the chance to get an autograph from Indians' top prospects, Francisco Lindor and Tyler Naquin, as I was too busy getting autos from all the Red Sox' top prospects. Salem was loaded with great players when I saw them in May, and I ended up getting an auto from Garin Cecchini, Blake Swihart and Brandon Jacobs:
Then, after the game, I picked up a game used, unbroken bat from Deven Marrero:
(Great guy — actually took the time to sign nicely, unlike Hawkins.)
May 30th – Carolina Mudcats Vs. Wilmington Blue Rocks
I was able to get an autograph from Cheslor Cuthbert, however, due to a mistake on my part, I missed out on Royals' top prospect, Kyle Zimmer. Although, I did manage to finally get an autograph from Francisco Lindor and Tyler Naquin after the game — both are super-nice guys. I was happy to finally get those:
(Lindor would go on to take part in the 2013 Futures game, up in New York City.)
June 3rd – Durham Bulls Vs. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders
I was really hoping to get an autograph from Chien-Ming Wang, but I never saw him in the dugout before the game, so I figured he wasn't there. But after the game, I ended up running into him on my way out of the ballpark. Turns out, Wang had been in the stands, charting the game. So I was thankfully able to get him:
I also got a game home run ball hit by Ronnier Mustelier:
(Chasing down home run balls never gets old.)
June 15th – Durham Bulls Vs. Indianapolis Indians
With the great year he was having, I was looking to get an autograph from Vince Belnome, since I had finally gotten his card. Not only did I get Belnome, but I also got Jake Odorizzi; as well as Wil Myers, for the third time:
(Little did I know that this would be the last time I'd ever see Myers with the Bulls, as he was called up the next day.)
June 17th – Durham Bulls Vs. Louisville Bats
I had been planning on attending this game since before the season even started. The record holder for most stolen bases in a single season, with 155, Billy Hamilton, was set to be there, and I was looking to get his autograph. I was able to get it, as well as an auto from Reds' prospect Henry Rodriguez:
(Two things: Hamilton is now in the majors, and Rodriguez needs to work on his auto.)
June 25th – Carolina Mudcats Vs. Frederick Keys
I didn't think I'd be going to this game, but I got an offer from Orioles' prospect, Nick Delmonico, for free tickets, and I couldn't pass it up. I was able to thank him in person, as well as get him to sign a card, making it a great time:
(Delmonico is now part of the Brewers' organization.)
June 29th – Baltimore Orioles Vs. New York Yankees
Didn't get any autographs, but had a great time.
Check out my recap HERE.
July 26th – Seattle Mariners Vs. Minnesota Twins
As with the Baltimore game, nothing too exciting.
Check out my recap HERE.
August 20th – Durham Bulls Vs. Charlotte Knights
Third straight game without an auto, but Chipper Jones was there, so it was fun anyway.
Check out my recap HERE.
August 24th – Durham Bulls Vs. Norfolk Tides
This game turned out to be the most successful game of the season; as I got four out of the five guys I wanted an autograph from to sign for me. Those players include Orioles' top prospects, Kevin Gausman and Jonathan Schoop, as well as Alex Liddi and Eric Thames. All were extremely nice about it, and I was surprised with the number of autos I got:
(As with Rodriguez, some of these autographs need work.)
September 3rd – Durham Bulls Vs. Indianapolis Indians
As if this game wasn't exciting enough, being a playoff game, I was able to get autos from Pirates' number one and two prospects, Jameson Taillon and Gregory Polanco:
(Both are expected to do big things in the majors as soon as next season.)
September 10th – Durham Bulls Vs. Pawtucket Red Sox
Didn't get any autographs or home run balls — bad way to end the season.
But what a season it was.
I can't wait for next year; when the auto collecting, home run chasing, and prospect scouting can start all over again.
By the Numbers
Though you could take the time for yourself to add it all up, I figured I'd make things a bit easier. Here's a numbers recap of my 2013 MiLB & MLB season:
Games attended: 16
Win-loss record for the home team: 12-4
Total runs scored (Home Team-Visitor): 102-44
Top 100 prospects seen in person: 16
Autographs from top 100 prospects: 8
Total autographs: 26
Game used gear: 2 bats (Courtney Hawkins & Deven Marrero — both signed.)
Game homers: 3 (Ernesto Mejia, Nick Castellanos & Ronnier Mustelier)
Total miles traveled to & from games: 7,740 (Including Baltimore & Seattle)
4/9/13 Bulls Vs. Braves–My First Ever Home Run Snag
When it was made official a few weeks ago that Rays' top prospect, and number four overall prospect in all of baseball, Wil Myers, was going to start the season in Triple-A Durham, I knew I'd be attending one of the first home games of the season. Though I would rather have gone to Opening Day, it wasn't possible, so the next game would have to do.
My main goal for this game was (obviously) to get an autograph from phenom, Wil Myers. I had seen on the Durham Bulls' twitter page that Myers had signed autographs the night before, so I was keeping a positive mindset, hoping he would sign, once again. But it wasn't meant to be, as although I was the first person to arrive down by the dugout, before the game, when Myers came up from the clubhouse, he didn't even look over in my direction. He ended up signing for a few people down the line, but I wasn't able to get him to come over.
This day would turn out to be a horrible one, if you're a person like myself who loves collecting autographs. The only player on the entire Bulls team, of the players I wanted autos from, that signed for nearly everyone, was Rays' number five prospect, Hak-Ju Lee. Lee was extremely nice about it, and I was happy to get his autograph, even if it was the only one I got before the game.
After failing to get any more autographs, I made the trek up to my ticketed seat:
Wil Myers, who was serving as the Bulls' designated hitter for the night, was chilling at the top of the dugout for most of the game:
As for the game itself, it was one of the most entertaining games I've ever seen in person. After Bulls' starting pitcher, Alex Torres, struck out the side, in the top of the first, the Bulls proceeded to go on a tear, causing Gwinnett's starting pitcher, Daniel Rodriguez, to be pulled from the game after only a third of an inning pitched, in which he allowed eight runs:
The Bulls would end up plating two more, for a grand total of TEN runs in the bottom of the first. Five of those runs came from the bat of Brandon Guyer, who blasted two home runs–a two run, and a three run–in the first inning. (The first International League player to do so since 2005.)
Seeing that the ball was flying out of the ballpark, on this particular night, and with the outfield seats being so empty….:
….I decided, as I've done in the past, to move to the outfield seats, after the conclusion of the first inning.
It was during my walk to the outfield that one of the most unusual things to ever happen to me at a baseball game occurred.
As I was making my way through the concourse, a guy, who I had seen earlier taking photos with an old-fashion-looking camera, stopped me and asked if I had been getting autographs down by the dugout before the game. I told him yes, and he went on to tell me that he was a photographer from Minnesota that had been hired (or picked?) by the Bulls (I think?) to take photographs of people at the ballpark for an art gallery (or museum?), and wanted to know if I'd be willing to be photographed. As you can tell, I didn't fully understand it all, but I agreed to it, nonetheless.
We both made our way out to where his camera was, which happened to be where I was headed anyway. It probably took 10 minutes for him to get the photo he was looking for, but I had nothing else to do, and was happy to do it. Here's a picture of the camera….:
….with him and his friend standing just below it, looking at the field. So if you happen to see me on a wall somewhere, now you know why; let me know if you do.
Moving back to the game, and to the reason I moved to the outfield, with there still being five innings left in the game after I finished having my picture taken, I was optimistic that someone (I didn't care who) would hit a home run in my direction. The seats continued to empty more and more as the game went on, and I was getting more and more anxious.
When it got to be the sixth inning, and no balls had even come close to me, I began to feel it was unlikely that a home run would be hit my way, but just as the thought crossed my mind, Gwinnetts' Ernesto Mejia blasted a moon shot (the 114th HR of his MiLB career), which barely cleared the center field wall. I wanted to just run out there and get it, but I recalled the Triple-A National Championship game, when a guy ran out onto the grass after a home run ball, and the umpires stopped the game. I didn't want to be "THAT guy".
So I waited patiently, hoping no one would make a run for it. A few people came over and had a glance, but they didn't try to retrieve it, which made it extremely easy for me to jump the short fence and run over to grab it as soon as three outs had been recorded.
Here's the ball:
This was the first home run ball I had ever gotten, and with the rush I got from running over and picking it up, I highly doubt it will be my last.
I stayed in the outfield for one more of Wil Myers' at-bats, but after he failed to hit a home run, I made my way back to where I had begun the game.
The Braves would make things interesting, scoring two runs in the seventh and three in the eighth, to make it a 12-8 ball game, but that would end up being the final score. As soon as the final out had been recorded, I quickly headed down to the dugout, with a dozen others, to try for an autograph from Myers, but once again, he didn't even look up.
I did succeed in getting an autograph from the star of the game, Brandon Guyer, afterwards, and he was extremely nice about it. He seems like a really great guy in general, as before the game he went out of his way to ask how everyone was doing, when he came up from the clubhouse. It's guys like that, that you want to see do well, and I wish him the best moving forward.
I'm not sure when my next MiLB game will be, or whether it will be a Mudcats or Bulls game, but if it's half as great as this one was, it's sure to be a fun time.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission will be issuing special antlerless deer harvest permits – 13,000 of them – for use in Disease Management Area 2 this fall after all.
When the possibility of having the special permits ready for hunting seasons this fall was discussed at a Board of Game Commissioners meeting in April, staff said there would not be enough time to get them in place through the Pennsylvania Automated Licensing System, the computer system known as PALS that the commission contracts to sell its regular licenses. However, commission staff began working on an alternate system for the special permits and eventually announced that they would be available this fall.
Travis Lau, spokesman for the commission, said the permits are now possible because "we're not using PALS." When it initially appeared that the permits could not be pulled off in time for this fall's hunting season, he explained, "staff wasn't thinking about the possibility of the Game Commission putting out the permit on its own. That's what we're doing.
"We're printing the permits here, selling them only at our offices and through the Outdoor Shop (on the commission's website) and doing all of the mailing ourselves."
The commission hopes the 13,000 special permits will lead to hunters harvesting one additional deer per square mile in the DMA and help to slow the spread of chronic wasting disease.
DMA 2 – the lone area of the state where CWD has been detected in free-ranging deer – covers parts of Bedford, Blair, Huntingdon, Cambria and Fulton counties. It was established in 2013 after three hunter-harvested deer in Blair and Bedford counties tested positive for CWD and was expanded earlier this year in response to two additional deer killed on highways in Bedford County, and a hunter-harvested deer nearby in Maryland, tested positive.
The always fatal CWD affects members of the deer family. It is spread from animal to animal by direct and indirect contact. There is no practical way to test live animals for CWD, nor is there an approved vaccine to prevent infection.
CWD is a slow-progressing disease and clinical signs do not develop until later stages of disease, often two years or more after infection. Clinical signs include poor posture, lowered head and ears, uncoordinated movement, rough-hair coat, weight loss, increased thirst, excessive drooling, and, ultimately death.
There is no scientific evidence that CWD has or can spread to humans, either through contact with infected animals or by eating the meat of infected animals. As a precaution, however, people are advised not to consume meat from animals that test positive for CWD.
The commission hopes the permits will focus hunting pressure inside the DMA, where deer numbers must be kept in check to slow the potential spread of the disease, while avoiding a reduction in the deer herd in the area surrounding the DMA 2, CWD has not been detected.
"We hope the creation of this permit will better help to satisfy objectives of addressing the deer population within the DMA and outside it," said commission Executive Director R. Matthew Hough. "Our appointed Game Commissioners continually seek input from the hunters and trappers in their respective regions, and hunters in WMU 4A – a large portion of which is within the DMA – have been requesting an increase in deer numbers.
"While our CWD Management Plan guides us to increase the antlerless deer harvest in areas where CWD has been detected in free-ranging deer, it doesn't mean we have to decrease the deer population throughout an entire WMU, or as in this case, a number of WMUs," Hough said. "The permits allow us to more precisely direct hunting pressure into the area that most needs additional deer harvests."
Only residents and nonresidents ages 12 and older with valid general hunting licenses may apply for the special permits. Participants in Mentored Youth and Mentored Adult hunting programs are ineligible to make application, and the permits cannot be transferred to participants in those programs.
Each permit costs $6.70, and payments must be made by credit card, check or money order made payable to the "Pennsylvania Game Commission."
Applications for DMA 2 permits will be accepted in two ways – electronically through the commission's Outdoor Shop, or by mail.
The application schedule is similar to that for antlerless deer licenses, however, residents and nonresidents can apply on the same dates in all rounds.
Applications will be accepted beginning July 14. Each eligible applicant may submit one application during this first round, which lasts three weeks. Beginning Aug. 4, a second round of application begins. Again in the second round, each eligible applicant may submit one application. However, an applicant who did not submit an application during the first round may submit two during the second round. A third round of applications will begin Aug. 18. Eligible applicants may submit an unlimited number of applications during this round, and the round will continue until all permits have been issued.
Those who are issued DMA 2 permits are required to submit reports, regardless of whether they harvest a deer. Harvests must be reported within 10 days. Non-harvests must be reported by Feb. 5. Those who fail to report as required are subject to criminal prosecution and may be ineligible to apply for permits if the program is continued the following year.

How could Sabrina tell the press they're engaged? Oh, he gets it--the failed Miss U. S. A. believes his "love" gives her the clout to nail her dream job, while her endorsement will make him governor. Because Sabrina Merritt, Jake Warrington's ex, is the one who blew the whistle on his crooked dad. So with her on his arm, all of Atlanta will see he's not the man his father was and vote for him. Unfortunately, Sabrina's also the person Jake vowed to hate forever. This engagement's got a long way to go before he exchanges vows of love with her. . . . Wait a minute, who said anything about love? It's not as if they're going to give in to temptation. He wouldn't make that mistake again. Would he?

Police said Morris also had $8,451 in assorted currency. He was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of hollow-point bullets and being a certain person not to have weapons.

Ask them to follow your meal plan for the day.
Get them on the ride for 2 weeks and see if they go for that scenario?
Other than that keep plugging away,bit by bit!!
Hello All,
I've been following this site for a while, but have never posted until now. Recently my fiancee and I have moved back into her parents place for 3 months while I take the bar (no rent and finding a place to rent for just 3 months made this a prime choice). Her mother has been battling her weight for a while and finally is on another 'low fat, calorie counting' died, which her and her father are following. Just moving in, I have prepped for the last two weeks all our food for dinner following the Primal plan. Supposidly, the mother has stopped losing weight and the father has been putting on weight, and it is because of my cooking (they now wish to change it). My fiancee, who has half-heartidly been following the plan for the last two years has decided to now go on the Mom's diet, since she has 'put on weight'. I'm extremely frustrated because:
1) They all are thinking my cooking makes them fat
2) For breakfest they have cereal and sandwiches for lunch, which then makes them starving and eat more when I provide them a healthy, calorie-full meal at dinner time, AND
3) They actually believe this diet is the right way to go while my finaccee has been 'championing' this diet with me for the last two years.
I've treated the topic of dieting like I would treat politics in this household since it is a sensative topic; has anyone else run into a situation like this? I find this situation extremely annoying since the mother has been obese for about 20 years, and has not had results with her other diet, while I was 260 in high school, now down to a slim 200 and am constantly mistaken for being 22 while actually 29 (since I am very fit and not overweight). Does anyone have any point-of-views or suggestions that will keep me biting my tongue and not being annoyed by this whole situation? Thank you.
Ask them to follow your meal plan for the day.
Get them on the ride for 2 weeks and see if they go for that scenario?
Other than that keep plugging away,bit by bit!!
I suggest that you have your meals separate. They follow their meal plan, you follow your meal plan, and don't talk about it at all.
you have to let people be. all of these people are adults. it's ok if they want to do something different. why should it bother you?
honestly, it's ok to be different. let them do their thing, you do your thing. and when you move out and in with your fiancée into your own digs, then she can decide how she wants to eat from there.
I don't think the Primal Blueprint works unless you remove grains, sugar, vegetable oils, soy and processed/packaged foods. My mother gave it a try but couldn't give up toast and jam and whatever else so it didn't work for her. I imagine the same failure will happen to your fiancee and future mother in law.
What I would do is when you make dinner, make low-fat primal food like salad and chicken breast or other lean meat and vegetables. Use breakfast and lunch for yourself to get in your primal whatever else. That's pretty much what I do. If I want liver or fatty pork, I have it for breakfast.

If you are new to the PB - please ignore ALL of this stuff, until you've read the book, or at least http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-blueprint-101/ and this (personal fave): http://www.archevore.com/get-started/
Thanks zoebird and tfarny I was thinking the same thing helps to hear.
You have to let it go. Just keep doing what's right for you and let them eat however they want. If they don't want to eat your cooking, won't that make your life easier? It should reduce your cooking time and give you more time to study. Living with inlaws (or soon-to-be inlaws) is stressful all on its own. You'll have to choose your battles wisely, and this probably shouldn't be one of them. Maybe even try to be a little understanding.. offer to keep your food out of sight or whatever. It is their house, and if you plan to have a long-term relationship with these folks, it'd be best to set the stage right and be as accommodating and friendly as possible while still doing what you need to do for your own health.
We live with our inlaws at the moment. When we moved in there was stirrings of the 'lets cook together' nature and i had to stand up for myself at the start, and i'm so pleased i did. We shop and cook separately and it works. I enjoy cooking and really didn't want someone else cooking for me.
Perhaps leave a copy of PB lying around? Then they might get a better understanding of what you do
It was put to me this way: If a building is on fire and you run in to help save people and you knock on the first door to tell the person to leave and they don't believe you that the building is on fire, what do you do?
You move onto the next door.

Warriors win another measuring-stick game
Lee makes All Star push for Curry after win over OKC
Before Wednesday's meeting with Oklahoma City, Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson refused to call it a measuring-stick game, but considering the circumstances it's hard not to.
The 104-99 win, against the team with the NBA's best record, served as the bookend to the season's first half -- the franchise's best in two decades.
[INSTANT REPLAY: Warriors rally to shock Thunder]
Afterwards, Jackson stuck to his word.
"We've said all along, we're not going anywhere and it was not going to be a measuring stick," Jackson said. "We know who we are -- exactly who were are. And we're not going to rest on this."
In beating the the Thunder, the Warriors have another signature win in a 41-game stretch full of them.
Beat the reigning NBA champions? Check.
The Western Conference champions? Check.
The Pacific-Division leaders? Check, check, check.
Golden State is the only team in the league which owns win over the Heat, Thunder and Clippers, but David Lee was quick to downplay the significance.
"I think we're probably the only team that's lost twice to Sacramento and Orlando," Lee said. "It just goes to prove that it's a long season."
At a point usually reserved for discussion about potential lottery placement, the relevant conversation about the future is now about potential first-round opponents.
If the playoff were to begin Thursday, the Warriors (26-15) would be the No. 5 seed and matched up with Memphis in the first round. The winner of that theoretical series would likely advance to play Oklahoma City.
All Star Roster Announced Thursday
Stephen Curry and David Lee will find out of they are headed to Sunday's All Star Game in Houston on Thursday. The official announcement will come at 4 p.m PT on TNT.
The votes from the coaches had already been submitted by game time Wednesday, but Curry's play matched up against sure-fire all star Russell Westbrook and cemented the notion that he belongs in the game. Curry finished with 31 points and seven assists to Westbrook's 10 points and four assists.
"I have two guys on my team (Curry and Lee) that it would be wrong and a disservice if they are not on the All-Star team," Jackson said. "The way they conduct themselves, what they have done in this league and they have been as good as anyone at their positions if you look at the numbers and wins. If justice truly prevails, those guys will be in the All-Star game."
Jackson would not divulge who he voted for.
"If I had the opportunity and the rules allowed for me to vote for my guys, they would have certainly been on my ballot, without question," he said.
Seven reserves will be named for each conference.
Curry Brothers Close to History
Curry's younger brother Seth, a senior at Duke, needs 12 points to vault the brothers past Larry and Eddie Bird into the No. 2 spot for combined points among a pair of brothers in Division I history. Seth was held scoreless in No. 1-ranked Duke's 90-63 loss to Miami on Wednesday.
The Bird brothers, who both went to Indiana State, combined for 4,405 in their careers. Tops on the list are Ben (Notre Dame) and Tyler (North Carolina) Hansbrough, who combined for 4,485 points.
Durant Falls Short of Second Career Triple Double
With 18 points, eight assists and four rebounds at halftime, Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant looked poised to make a run at his second career triple double -- which came against the Warriors earlier this season.
After the break, Durant added just one more rebound and one more assists. He finished with 33 points.

DR PARKER:Mr D is a 69-year-old man troubled by dizziness. He is retired from his job as
building superintendent for a public school. He is married, lives in
the Boston, Mass, suburbs, and has managed Medicare insurance.
Mr D dates the onset of his dizziness to 1994, when the symptoms were
predominantly vertiginous. He described the sensation as "everything
is moving" and "like I had too much to drink." These episodes
lasted 1 to 2 hours, occurred several times per week, and often came on
suddenly, such as when arising in the middle of the night. At that
time, use of meclizine hydrochloride seemed to decrease the symptoms.
Results of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain at that
time were normal.

In figure skating, same old, same old
In figure skating, same old, same old
Wow. Now that's not what I'd call constructive criticism. Harping on "teh hug!" and ignoring the fact that Russia (and other figure skating powerhouses) voted to abolish anonymous judging doesn't add to the article's credibility. I guess he's giving a badly written article for a sport that deserves no better?
That's pretty offensive to Korea... and perhaps Asia in general.The word kowtow apparently translates well to Korean.
The two leading skating 'journalists' in this country are just lunatics with a seething hate of Russia.
I can't read it. It says that you have to be a digital member. I did try to enter through twitter but it still request a zip code which I don't have.

The mayor and former clerk of the northern Iowa town of Scarville have been charged with theft after a state audit turned up thousands of dollars in missing city funds.
Michelle Hermanson and Jolene Carter were charged on Monday with first-degree theft, felonious misconduct in office and falsifying public documents.
Hermanson and Carter voluntarily turned themselves in to authorities and each posted a $10,000 bond.
State Auditor David Vaudt in June said Hermanson and Carter misspent at least $24,000. Another $12,000 of spending was not supported by documentation.
Phone listings for Hermanson and Carter were disconnected. Online court records don't list their attorneys.

When Brigitte Nielsen bailed out of her 18-month marriage to Sylvester Stallone in 1987, she sought the comfort of Tony Scott, who directed her in Beverly Hills Cop II. Later, in 1989, amid reports that her new boyfriend, former New York Jets pro football star Mark Gastineau, was beating her, the first man she ran to was Scott. Now she has left Gastineau again, so where did Nielsen go this time?
That's right, to Scott, who is on location in Daytona, Fla., directing the Tom Cruise stock-car racing movie, Days of Thunder. Nielsen and Scott were spotted last week as they climbed aboard a crowded elevator at the Daytona Beach Marriott hotel. According to a source who was also on the elevator, the 6' Nielsen tried to be inconspicuous on the ride up from the lobby. "But that was impossible," says the source, "because she was bigger than everyone else on the elevator."
E. Howard Hunt, the former CIA agent who spent 32 months in jail after being convicted along with G. Gordon Liddy and five other Watergate burglars, is now trying to break into show business. He's pitching an idea for a TV series about a retired CIA agent who is called back into service to "perform certain jobs for the government," according to his manager, Flo Levy. Additionally, Limit of Darkness, a World War II novel Hunt wrote in 1944, has been optioned by an independent film production company. As for Beautiful People, Hunt's rather odd conception for a musical based on the Claus von Bülow story, Levy says, "It still hasn't gotten off the ground."
Rock star David Bowie has been called a chameleon because of a seemingly uncanny ability to reinvent himself in any number of stage personas. A far greater task for Bowie, perhaps, will be inventing enough ticket buyers to make the American leg of his world concert tour a financial success. His first concert here, in Miami, was scheduled for last Friday (April 27).
Ticket sales, according to recording industry sources, are not going well. Factor in the generally negative reviews in Europe for Bowie's Sound + Vision tour and the fact that Changes Bowie, his current album, is a best-of collection rather than a new studio effort, and you might expect to find some very worried folks in the Bowie camp.
The camp, however, says everything's just fine. In fact, they seem so confident that they've added a second date (May 23) at Los Angeles's 56,000-seat Dodger Stadium even though our sources contend that Bowie's first date at the site (May 26) is barely half-sold.
The etiquette of breaking up, if there is such a thing, came into play recently when actor Charlie Sheen, 24, ended his yearlong engagement to Kelly (Twins) Preston, 26.
You see, there was this little matter of Preston's 25-carat pink diamond engagement ring, valued at more than $200,000. Sheen checked the propriety of the situation and was told that since he was the one who was breaking off the engagement, it would be in poor taste to ask for the ring back. So he didn't.
Of course, Preston hasn't thought of giving it back either. According to her publicist, "Even since the breakup, the ring is never off her finger."

The Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at former President George W. Bush was released Tuesday after nine months in prison.
Muntadhar al-Zeidi said Iraqi security forces tortured him with beatings, whippings and electric shocks after his arrest.
He said he plans on naming the names of his torturers, and that he now fears for his life and believes that U.S. intelligence agents will be coming for him.
"These fearsome services, the U.S. intelligence services and its affiliated services, will spare no efforts to track me as an insurgent revolutionary ... in a bid to kill me," he told a news conference at Al-Baghdadiya TV, the station where he works.
He went on to warn that those close to him could be targeted as well.
Al-Zeidi, 30, was to have been freed Monday, but the release was held up for a day because of delays in processing paperwork.
His act of protest embarrassed Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who was standing with Bush during a news conference on Dec. 14, 2008, when al-Zeidi suddenly started hurling his shoes at the podium, shouting in Arabic, "This is your farewell kiss, you dog!"
Bush was on his final visit to Iraq as American president. He was unhurt but had to duck twice to avoid being hit.
Al-Zeidi was convicted of assault in March. His three-year prison sentence was reduced to one because he had no criminal record before the shoe-throwing incident.
He was released three months early for good behavior.

(Image: OK, well since it's the Cardinals, we'll let this slide….)
Over at Brew Crew Ball, Kyle Lobner wrote a nice piece on the closing of the Metrodome, which saw its 32-year run end after the Minnesota Vikings' last game there Sunday. That got me thinking about back when I moved to Minneapolis to go to university, and the shock and dismay I felt when I realized just what the state of baseball was in Minneapolis. I remember seeing pictures of all MLB stadiums growing up and knowing that Milwaukee County Stadium was not one of the 'jewels' of the sport. On exploratory missions to Minneapolis before moving here, I had thought about the Metrodome as where the Vikings played, never really thinking about it as the Twins' (and football Gophers') home simultaneously. Well, wow….it turns out the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, which opened in 1982, made County Stadium look like Ebbets Field.
Unlike Candlestick Park in San Francisco, which despite its tales of wind and cold during baseball games was a reasonably aesthetic old outdoor stadium, the Dome reeked of utility and lack of character. The temperature-controlled Dome had none of the day-to-day or seasonal changes that one should see with a baseball season. It was always the same temperature under the air-supported Teflon roof. When one was at a game, it didn't matter if it were a day game or a night game: the 'atmosphere' inside the Dome was the same and there was no indication of what it might be like outside. That 'atmosphere' was one of sterile blandness. Football seats were rolled up to create the façade of an outfield wall, and the pathetic 'baggie' served as an obstacle to left-handed hitters. It was called the 'baggie' because it literally was a giant piece of plastic that rippled like so much cheapness when it was struck by a fly ball. Then there were the low-hanging ugly gray speakers with a tinny quality and wires galore, which remained long after the Twins left the Dome and in fact are hanging there right now.
I remember growing up and going to Brewers games and yes, the weather was sometimes awful and sometimes it rained and folks got wet. Well, that was part of the fun, and made for some great times down there, regardless of whether you stayed dry or the Brewers managed to win. If people bailed on their seats or the game wasn't well attended due to weather, well, your seats just got upgraded! I totally understand the why Miller Park was built the way it was, because the Brewers rely on all of Wisconsin to support them in a market enclosed on all sides. But if it had been up to me, the current ballpark in Milwaukee would have featured a sliding roof like Safeco or Minute Maid Park. Who boasts about Miller Park having the only fan-shaped roof in North America (besides the Brewers themselves)? From the outside, Miller Park probably looks better than Minute Maid when the roof is closed. But to employ a fan-shaped roof, Miller Park requires that mile-high wall that encircles the concourse beyond the bleachers, which makes the park feel a little more enclosed than a ballpark with a retractable roof should.
Tangents aside, when I first went to Miller Park I was amazed at how great it was, and I still love the atmosphere, feel and sight lines at Miller better than a lot of MLB parks, and I've been to over half of them. The Metrodome, on the other hand, was brutal. For folks who grew up Twins fans or in the Twin Cities, it's understandable that they would not possess the hatred and loathing of the Metrodome in quite the same degree as outsiders do. Their teams occupied the place, benefitted from its idiosyncrasies, and the sentiment was encapsulated well by fan Joe Lonke's quote in a Minneapolis Star Tribune article today: "People called it a dump. But it was our dump, and we loved it". In the ensuing years, fans in Minnesota (at least many of them) had nothing to compare the Dome to, so it wasn't all that bad to them. Metropolitan Stadium, which had housed the Twins and Vikings, was torn down after the teams exited. The football stadium at the University of Minnesota, Memorial Stadium, which had opened in 1924, was abandoned in favor of the Metrodome and demolished a decade later in 1992. So for more than three decades, all Minnesota fans knew, other than the Target Center and Xcel Energy Center arenas (Timberwolves, Wild, respectively) was the Metrodome. Even the Timberwolves spent their first year playing in the Metrodome, which also hosted NCAA Final Fours, big-time concerts and a Superbowl.
(The metrodome's scoreboard resembles your grandpa's TV set.)
The Metrodome was built the way it was because it was cheap. The construction was only $55MM, which translates to $156MM in 2013 dollars according to Wikipedia, and even that is still dirt cheap. Since it hosted so many different teams, there was little in terms of permanent structures or paraphernalia regarding specific teams. It was all to get 'em in, see the game, get 'em out. You could buy really cheap tickets and see the Twins, but you were paying for horrific nose-bleeds up in the heavens in a 'ballpark' that seated over 50,000 for baseball. The problem was that it was hardly worth it to spend some hard-earned scratch on better tickets because the whole affair of watching baseball there was so putrid, that the benefits were largely cancelled out. The closest seats around the infield didn't even feel that close because they were well away, above the field. Walking around the stadium? Good luck. To get to the concourse, which affords absolutely no field views, one had to climb steep concrete stairs and then get swallowed up by a bottleneck in a tight corridor filled with the stank of second-rate concessions and watery beer. The concourse routinely becomes so crowded that you are stopped in your tracks and have to wait until it untangles itself. Are you a Brewers fan who hates the decrepit nature of Wrigley Field and the sorry state of its bathroom facilities? The Metrodome's trough wasn't much better. I was at the Dome for one final event recently, a Monster Jam monster truck extravaganza. The same nonsense was on display all over again, and after the event we all had to wait excruciatingly long in one big mass for our chance to be blown out of the air-lock door once again because if they opened all the doors to let everyone out like at a normal stadium, the roof would deflate and fall down. Genius.
Ah, but I could go on for days about the Metrodome. I really could. My vitriol toward the place really knows no bounds. I had some good times there. But it was despite the stadium, not in any way the result of the stadium. I don't discount Minnesota fans and the nostalgia they feel for the Humpty Dump. After all, the Twins won two World Series titles there, and were aided countless times by the goofy hops, balls lost in the roof and other oddities that made Dome Ball unique. But for outsiders, especially those who came into it knowing that ballparks could be soooo much better, the Dome was like a punch in the face. I guess I'm just mad that Target Field wasn't built sooner, because I suffered with Dome Ball for too long. But enough of my whining. The Dome is off to the Teflon graveyard in the sky. The Dome will be blissfully demolished soon and the Vikings will actually play outdoors for a couple years. Then Zygi-World will be built and replace one monstrosity on the east end of downtown with another. I leave with these hilarious quotes compiled by the Star Tribune:
"This park should be barred from baseball. … You win on fly balls or lose on fly balls. That's not major league baseball, that's amateur Little League. … Why doesn't [Twins owner Carl Pohlad] spend $100,000 and paint the ceiling so you can see the ball. What is he, a billionaire? Tell him they don't put pockets in coffins. … What a joke. "— Yankees manager Billy Martin after his team lost to the Twins 8-6, with four of the Minnesota runs coming from fly balls being lost in the lights and roof.
"Indoor domes should be used for roller rinks." — Bears coach Mike Ditka, who went on to rename the Dome "Rollerdome." When the Bears next visited the Dome, fans were given towels reading "Rollerdome" and Vikings cheerleaders wore skates.
"They ought to nuke the place." — St. Louis Cardinals manager Whitey Herzog of his team's seven-game World Series loss to the Twins in which all of Minnesota's victories came in the Dome.
(Ahhhhhh…fake grass.)

This netbook is one of the earliest adopters of Intel's new Pine Trail platform, which comprises of the new Atom N450 CPU and NM10 chipset. The 532h is a regular sized net book, just a tad thinner on average at 0.99 inches. The weight is also lighter than average at 108 kgs. The lid is glossy with a deep blue finish, which the wrist rest also sports.
The chiclet style keyboard stretches from end to end, though the [Enter] key is not full sized and the arrow keys as a little cramped. The touch pad has a contoured black matte finish, with a separate scroll zone. The touch pad has the correct degree of sensitivity and is good to use. As for connections we have the standard set of 3 USB ports, a card reader, VGA out, Ethernet (10/100), and audio jacks.
The battery is regular 6 cell Li-ion strip. Windows XP SP3 comes preinstalled, along with a watered down version of McAfee Security and also a trial version of Microsoft Office. Benchmark results are not too different from the older Atom N270 processor, at least in CPU benchmarks. Intel did not really claim better performance, so that's fine, having said that some of the real world test results were slightly above average.

Find out how we produce our information
Although the causes of soft tissue sarcomas are unknown, research is going on to try to find out more. Sarcomas, like other cancers, are not infectious and can't be passed on to other people.
Sarcomas can occur at any age but are more common as people get older. About two-thirds of all soft tissue sarcomas are diagnosed in people over 50.
Most sarcomas are not caused by an inherited faulty gene that can be passed on to other family members. Members of your family are not likely to have an increased risk of developing a soft tissue sarcoma because you have one.
However, people who have some rare inherited genetic conditions are more at risk of developing a sarcoma. These conditions include neurofibromatosis, Gardner's syndrome, Li-Fraumeni syndrome and retinoblastoma. You would normally know if any member of your family had one of these conditions, and their doctor would check them regularly for any sign of a sarcoma.
Very rarely, a soft tissue sarcoma will occur in a part of the body that has previously been treated with radiotherapy for another type of cancer. The sarcoma will not usually develop until at least 5-10 years after the radiotherapy treatment. To reduce the risk, radiotherapy is very carefully planned. Improvements in the way radiotherapy is given mean that the risk of developing a sarcoma is very small.
The development of some sarcomas may be linked to exposure to some types of chemicals. The chemicals include: vinyl chloride, which is used for making plastics; some types of herbicides (weedkillers); and dioxins, which are a waste product produced during the manufacture of chemicals and fertilisers.
There is no evidence that an injury can cause a soft tissue sarcoma to develop. It's possible that an injury may draw attention to a sarcoma that was already there and not causing any symptoms, but the sarcoma will have taken many years to develop.

This is a call for contributions to a collection of essays on southern Identity. The goal is to publish the collection with a University Press specializing in southern history. The idea, naturally born in a conference hotel bar, is to explore what historically it has meant to be a southerner. Is southern identity limited to those who are white and native-born? When and under what circumstances do Black, Jewish, Latino, Native American, and Asian southerners make a claim to southernness. When and under what circumstances do those transplanted to the South assume a southern identity? Indeed what does it mean to be southern? Who decides who is or is not southern? Why do some southerners seem especially defensive or protective of southern identity while others do not? Historians of the South study Dixie as an independent region, with different, unique, and special traits, yet we continue to find it difficult to agree on what it is to be southern. Furthermore, some have begun to suggest that there is no longer anything particular or unique about the South. Our goal with this collection will be to begin to answer some of these questions and to point to one possible direction for scholars in the twenty first century to explore.
Essays may cover any area of southern identity from any time period. To avoid preconceived notions, contributors will have a great deal of latitude in topics and themes. Interested contributors should send a brief proposal (no more than 500 words) to each of the addresses listed below by May 1, 2004. If accepted for the collection, essays will need to be between 25 and 30 pages in length and be completed by September 1, 2004.
