Stevo played and coached at the highest level. Make of that what you will.
He did- in the 1970s! Gould has been involved at NSW as well as NRL Clubs in the past 10 years. He also is involved at Penrith right now though not in a coaching role as such. Massive difference for me. I also feel Stevo is set up as somebody to be loud and bold instead of trying to just call the game.

Mr. Brown's art students at West Salem High School are using a new tool in their art class.
A Mac Book Pro was given to all 560 high school students at the beginning of the school year.
"If you don't feel like going down to the library to look up something, it's very handy," said Alyssa Leonard, West Salem High School senior.
But like anything that's new there is a learning curve.
"I've never worked on a Mac. "So, it's been kind of difficult," said Quenten Brown, West Salem High School art teacher. "Honestly, it's a lot of my students helping me that's really helped the transition. Not only are they willing to help me, but they're willing to help other students as well."
The devices are being used by the students and teachers in almost every class throughout a student's day in multiple different ways.
"If you forget something like, 'oh what's the page number,' it's right on there and it's very helpful,"
"The kinds of things that they're already doing with this piece of equipment is just breathtaking sometimes to watch," said Troy Gunderson, West Salem School District superintendent. "In the commons watching them load up their math book on the internet, do their math problems, then download an assignment from an English teacher, comment on it, send it back, then ask their friends to help with math. Oh, I missed a lesson so I can watch yesterday because we taped it. I watched one student do that within a 30 minute period in study hall."
In science teacher Wayne Sackett's classroom, students are using the device along with a website called Edmodo to measure how much they learned during a class lesson.
"For example, today in class you know we were giong through our lecture and at the end I wanted some feedback. How did I do as a teacher," said Wayne Sackett, West Salem High School science teacher. "So they jumped on my Edmodo website. Took a little four question quiz. Kind of an exit quiz. The kids got some immediate feedback on how did they perform on that quiz. And now I can go, how did I do. I didn't hit this concept very well. I probably neeed to go back and re-teach that tomorrow."
The Edmodo website is a learning management tool that all of the teachers and students are now using to communicate online.
"It's really helped me organize a little bit better and helped my students as well," said Brown. "So, it's not like, 'oh, you didn't tell me that.' In fact, that happened the other day. It's going to go on Edmodo and I'll show you that I had the assignment there. The kids like, 'that's right. You did say that. It is due today. So, the organization and the accountability on due dates has been working out really well for me."
But educators want the community to know the computers aren't taking the place of other types of learning.
"This isn't the end-all be-all," said Wayne. "We're still going to do stuff. We're going to go back in the science lab and we're going to disect things and look at the microscopes. So this isn't the whole world. It's a tool. A powerful tool that will help us be more effective."

My DS is about 3.5 months old. His typical nursing habits have been every 1.5-2 hours feeding for at least 15 min per side, often much longer.
Today, quite suddenly, he has been nursing only 3-7 minutes per side. He pulls off the breast and either falls asleep, or smiles at me or just lies there calmly looking at nothing until I switch sides. I try to coax him back onto the same breast when he does this but usually he won't take it. He's not acting fussy or frustrated when this happens. I think he is nursing about as frequently as usual, or maybe a tiny bit more often
Again, this behavior just started today. I know some babies are super efficient nursers, but can they suddenly become that way overnight?? Or is something else going on?
I should also mention that he has been sleeping thru the night (7-9 hours) since about 6 weeks. He is exclusively breastfed.
Please tell me I should worry or not! We are about to leave on a 6 day trip to visit the in laws. The last thing I need is wacky nursing habits. :/

How to make Pisco Sours like a pro
So what is a Pisco Sour? And why do people get so obsessed with it? And where the hell do you drink it anyway? Hereãs our foolproof guide.
Mixing it up in Peru
Why have fountains flowing with water when they could be splashing about in the country's national drink?
Yes, Peruvians are so passionate about their beloved Pisco that on the first Saturday in February they honour their famous cocktail with Pisco Sour Day. On this day each year the fountain at Plaza Mayor in Lima even pours with thousands of litres of the local brew!

I was looking at the Giants roster because I'm personally a little concerned about the TE position, and seen we have around 3-4 of them. Whats everyone's thoughts?
I was looking at the Giants roster because I'm personally a little concerned about the TE position, and seen we have around 3-4 of them. Whats everyone's thoughts?
Can't be much worse than the Patriots right now especially after Hernandez.
We should be solid at TE this year
As for our TE situation we are fine. We have finally a really good catching TE. I liked MB but sometimes he wouldn't fight for the ball in the air, Myers will. As far as his blocking coach Pope will make him respectable. We also have Pascoe and Robinson to take on most of the blocking if Myers cannot handle it.
Thanks for your input everyone. As for the Pats maybe they should put Tebow at the TE position now lol
The TE is either the same or maybe even a little better than last season. Myers is a very steady player, Bear is still Bear and Robinson should take a step forward from last year.
It's a shame we couldn't keep the black unicorn because I think he would have improved even more with a second season.
All Hail The New York Giants!!
Yeah are TE are one hit wonders lol New one every year.
I'm really optimistic about our TE's this year. I think Eli will fall in love with Brandon Myers. We also have Adrien Robinson who was noted by scouts to be the 'JPP of Tight Ends' from his draft class. He's had a couple years to develop and learn, so I'm excited to see the turn out.
For the love of God, please stop spelling his name as Shane "Vareen".
The proper term is "corps". Our players do not live in the middle of an apple.
I'm very excited about Myers and Robinson this year and for the future..

Highland Oaks Golf Course
Dothan, Alabama
March 12-14, 2004
DOTHAN, Ala. â Blake Stark, of Canton, Ga., equaled his career best of 69 in Sundayâs final round to overcome a number of competitors and take medalist honors in the Ashworth Junior at Highland Oaks presented by Movie Gallery.
The second-annual Ashworth Junior at Highland Oaks presented by Movie Gallery is a 36-hole stroke play event conducted by the American Junior Golf Association. The tournament featured 102 competitors from 17 states with 24 hailing from Florida and eight from the host state of Alabama.
The AJGAâs Ashworth Junior Series is designed specifically for first-time AJGA members or those members who have not yet participated in an AJGA Open event, AJGA Invitational or Nike Golf Junior All-Star Series event in the current and/or the previous calendar year.
Entering Sundayâs round, Stark found himself three shots off the lead in a tie for 12th place. He had previously only competed in AJGA qualifiers and a postseason event and had only carded one career round in the 60âs.
âComing into the final round,â Stark said, âI was just hoping to finish in the top 10 and earn an exemption.â
The 16-year-old Stark did that and much more, getting off to a quick start and continuing his outstanding play to fire a 34 on the front and 35 on the back for his 3-under-par total of 69. This, coupled with Saturdayâs 76 gave him a two-day total of 145, and a three-shot victory.
âMy putter was big today,â Stark said. âI made some huge putts. Two of the biggest were a 15-foot breaker for birdie on No. 7 and a 20 footer on No. 11 to save par after I left about an 80 footer short.â
By claiming this victory, Stark will be awarded two exemptions in the AJGAâs Performance Based Entry system.
Earning runner-up honors was Allen Koon, of Bamberg, S. C. He carded rounds of 75 and 73 for a two-day total of 148 and finished alone in second place, three shots behind Stark.
âI really putted well this weekend, especially today. That was really important because the hard greens and tough hole locations made it tough to get it close,â said Koon, who overcame slow starts on both days to earn his second-place spot.
Finishing in a three-way tie for third behind Stark and Koon, were Toliver Latham, of Twin Falls, Idaho; Brent Cooper, of Valley Head, Ala.; and Joseph Schrader, of Casselberry, Fla., with two-day totals of 149.
For more information on the Ashworth Junior at Highland Oaks presented by Movie Gallery, or any other event, please contact the AJGA's National Headquarters at (770) 868-4200.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month evolved from the first Day of Unity observed in October, 1981 by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The intent was to connect battered women as advocates across the nation who were working to end violence against women and their children. The Day of Unity soon became a week and then a month filled with activities to mourn those who have died because of domestic violence, celebrating those who have survived, and connecting those who work to end domestic violence. In October of 1987, the first Domestic Violence Awareness Month was observed. In October of 2011 the Mill Valley City Council issued a proclamation for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. To read the proclamation, please click here.
Domestic violence is best understood as a pattern of abusive behaviors -- including physical, sexual, and psychological attacks as well as economic coercion -- used by one intimate partner against another to gain, maintain, or regain power and control in the relationship. Batterers use a range of tactics to frighten, terrorize, manipulate, hurt, humilate, blame, injure, and sometimes kill a current or former intimate partner.
For more information about domestic violence, including potential warning signs for emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, visit the National Domestic Violence Hotline's information page. Break the Cycle provides information about patterns of abuse and behaviors commonly experienced by youth in dating relationships.
For the month of October, the Mill Valley Police Department will display "Love Shouldn't Hurt" stickers on all patrol cars.

The schemers are congratulating themselves on the success
of their corner on the booze market.
"'Well,' says I, 'it does look as if we would have to take up gastritis and golf or be measured for kilts in spite of ourselves. This little turn in bug juice is, verily, all to the Skibo. And I can stand it,' says I, 'I'd rather batten than bant any day.'
Batten means to suck blood like a vampire bat
"Bant" refers to a long forgotten fad of drastically
reducing intake of food.

They were in a small town in Texas, completely surrounded by
water because of protracted heavy rain, and had bought all
three bars in the town, and had raised price of a shot or
whiskey to a buck, and were getting rich. Until the wordy one got drunk, gave an superevangelical oration against
alcohol, and got entire town to take the pledge to abstain.
Putting them out of business.

Re:"Bant" refers to a long forgotten fad of drastically reducing intake of food.
where did i just read this? it was in an article about fad diets, that pointed out the the Dr Atkins diet really was a revival of a fad diet from the last quarter of the 1800-- when fad diets (like Dr Graham's --of the crackers, and Kellogg's (of Battle Creek) were two of the more famous 'fad diet' proponents (along with Dr Fletcher --who advocated chewing each mouthful of food 40 times.)
a Mr Banting wrote/had ghosted a book about his wonderful diet plan (low carb if recall right--or was it low fat?) and his book became a best seller.. 'Banting' became is still a term used for dieting. (and Bant became 'diet'!)
i think it is more used in UK (and banting/dieting was used by my nana, - parents didn't use it. (because it fell out of favor in UK/ireland? or because it was generaly an unknown term in US? i don't know!_________________________

The "bant" diet had nothing to do as far as I can find
out with the Banting who was so important in diabetes
research. His is his bio:

It turns out that the Banting who gave his name to the diet
was a remarkably interesting man, not some kind of nut as I
had suspected. At the very end of the article is the diet that helped him greatly improve his health. No quackery.

OK, so i had the dates wrong--the Banting of dieting fame wrote his book in 1863--(and i suggested it was later, 1875 or so.) -Dr Banting of Canada (not UK) was doing work on insulin post WWI (or the great war as he would have called it).
Can any of or British english speakers confirm that banting is still used as a term for a regime? --and how about far flung members of the commonweal? --any of you know banting?_________________________

I know of the word, but only from 19th century/early 20th century novels. Anything later than that, the word might appear, but always glossed as a diet which was popular before WW1.
From your article Dr. Bill:
Only three men in history have been immortalized by having their names enter the English language as verbs. The first was an Irishman, Captain Boycott, whose name entered the language in the 1860s. Another was Louis Pasteur and the third was the subject of this articleWilliam Banting, a man who came to have a great impact on many peoples' lives, one of whom is me.
ARe we going to let them get away with that. Come on, AWADers, thinking caps on.

I haven't come across the word 'banting' before. The OED describes it as archaic. Banting, it tells us, was a treatment for obesity that involved abstinence from sugar, starch and fat. So he had the right of it, had Banting. Doesn't mention alcohol....

I have to agree with RK though; Taake isn't exactly the first band that springs to mind when I think "originality".

Vt. to share in Google settlement over privacy breachThe Associated Press | November 20,2013MONTPELIER Vermont is set to receive $467,000 out of a $17 million payment by Google Inc. to 37 states and the District of Columbia to make amends for snooping on millions of people using Safari Web browsers.
The settlement announced Monday stems from Googles shadowing of unwitting Safari users online, even though the browsers maker, Apple Inc., prohibited the tracking without obtaining a persons permission.
Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell said Safari blocks so-called third-party cookies files placed on computers by advertisers by default but that Google altered settings to get around that block.
The attorneys general alleged that Google violated state consumer protection and related computer privacy laws by failing to tell Safari users that it was circumventing their privacy settings.
By following what users were doing online, Googles DoubleClick advertising network could gain more insights about what types of ads were most likely to appeal to them.
This is the second time that authorities in the U.S. have cracked down on Google for its secret shadowing of Safari users from June 2011 through mid-February of last year. The Federal Trade Commission fined Google $22.5 million last year. It represented the largest penalty the FTC had ever collected for a civil violation.
Google has maintained the Safari intrusion was an inadvertent side effect of an attempt to make it easier for people to recommend ads.
The Mountain View, Calif., company disabled the surveillance coding, or cookies, in February 2012 after the violation of Safaris privacy policies was initially reported. Until the problem was uncovered by a graduate student at Stanford University, Google had assured Safari users that they wouldnt be monitored, as long as they didnt change the browser settings to permit the tracking.
Misrepresenting that tracking will not occur, when that is not the case, is unacceptable, as this settlement emphasizes, said Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen.
Google isnt acknowledging any wrongdoing in the settlement. Thats the same position that Google took when it paid the FTC fine last year.
We work hard to get privacy right at Google and have taken steps to remove the ad cookies, which collected no personal information, from Apples browsers, the company said in a statement Monday. Were pleased to have worked with the state attorneys general to reach this agreement.
The rebuke from the states is primarily a public relations blow to Google, whose privacy controls have suffered other lapses in recent years. In perhaps the most glaring privacy breach, a Google engineer installed a program that enabled company cars taking pictures of street scenes to scoop up personal data being transmitted over unprotected Wi-Fi networks.
The company also exposed the contact lists of Gmail users in 2010 when it launched a now-defunct social networking service called Buzz.
The settlement wont put much of a dent in Googles finances. After stripping out the companys advertising commissions, Googles revenue this year is expected to be about $47 billion, according to analysts surveyed by FactSet. According to that estimate, it would take Google slightly more than three hours to generate $17 million in revenue on an average day.
Besides paying the fine, Google is agreeing to maintain a special page devoted to cookies for the next five years and refrain from making any misleading statements about its online tracking practices.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

Sure, who hasn't wished for superpowers? Super-speed, super-flight, super-strength-these are the cool powers, the ones with which all comic book superheroes seem to do so well for themselves. But there are a few lesser-known powers found in the funny pages that nobody wants to be saddled with. Any practical use they have would be countered by the sheer embarrassment and/or inconvenience of having them.
"Oh, come on," you're probably thinking. "What's wrong with telepathy?" And sure, it sounds like it'd be a useful power. You can keep tabs on what that back-stabbing co-worker of yours is up to, instantly know what your boss thinks about you and actually figure out what your girlfriend means when you ask "What's wrong?" and you get one of those meaning-laden "Oh... nothing..." replies.
Then again, like most people, you're probably sort of a prick. Do you really want to know what other people think of you? Sometimes the only way you can get through the day dealing with other people is being able to convince yourself they're not five seconds from gut-punching your dumb ass.
Telepathy means you'll never have that comforting illusion ever again. Try hearing, "He really put on some weight," "Nice hair, douchebag, did Supercuts have a coupon day?" and "Has this guy ever heard of deodorant?" before breakfast, and the phrase "Ignorance is bliss" will start making a lot of sense all of a sudden.
Life is rough for smart kids in school. There's nothing super-heroic about getting your underwear yanked up your ass by meatheads because you can read without moving your lips. Having said that, in any high school, there's always that one smug, self-satisfied smart kid who likes rubbing their big brain in the other kids' faces.
Remember how much everyone hated that kid? Okay, now add "super-intelligence" to your list of powers, where suddenly you can argue foreign policy with Nobel Laureates while doing long division in your head and scribbling a cure for leukemia on a notepad. You're gonna turn into an insufferable jerk faster than you can say, "Well, I suppose that's a simplified way of looking at it."
Lex Luthor may be a genius, but nobody's inviting his smug ass to their house parties.

Your Mutual Fund Portfolio: Choosing the Level of Complexity
- Diversified,
- Meet your financial goals, and
- Match your risk tolerance.
You also need to make sure that, when you think of your mutual fund portfolio, you are considering all of your funds: those held in both your taxable and tax-sheltered accounts, including 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans, IRAs, Keoghs, Roth IRAs, etc. When you view all of your mutual fund holdings as one all-encompassing mutual fund portfolio, it becomes clear that you need not replicate your total mutual fund portfolio allocation in every individual account.
Even with those constants in mind, there are many different "levels" of mutual fund portfolios, ranging from a basic, bare minimum portfolio to one that is very complex.
Three mutual fund portfolio levels are illustrated in Table 1. They are not meant to be discrete portfolios, but rather should be viewed as a continuum, with Level I as a realistic minimum and Level III as a practical limit.
Level I mutual fund holdings can be augmented with Level II fund types and Level II holdings can include Level III fund types. These three levels are milestones on a path from the basic to the complex.
What level of complexity matches your investor profile best? Let's walk through the rationale for each level, keeping in mind the effort, knowledge and investment scale issues all investors face.
Level I: The Basics
Level I contains only four mutual funds, but covers substantial investment ground. It is strictly an index fund approach—no actively managed mutual funds are included.
Index funds have the advantages of very low cost and easy diversification, a hard combination to beat. And they are low maintenance investments—you don't have to monitor their performance against the benchmarks, they are the benchmarks. But while you are assured of avoiding underperformance, you also have no chance of beating the benchmarks.
Some, but not many, actively managed funds do manage to beat the benchmarks. However, the actively managed funds that may beat the benchmarks in any one period are unlikely to be the ones to beat the benchmarks in the next period. Therefore, selecting and monitoring actively managed funds requires substantially more effort, time and knowledge than an index approach.
|TABLE 1. Mutual Fund Portfolio Levels: From Basic to Complex
|Level I
|Level II
|Level III
|U.S. Stocks
|-Total domestic stock index fund
|-S&P 500 stock index fund
-Extended market stock index fund
|-S&P 500 index fund
-Mid/small-cap growth fund
-Mid/small-cap value fund
-Sector funds: technology, biotech/health, REIT
|International Stocks
|-Total international stock index fund
|-European stock index fund
-Pacific stock index fund
-Emerging markets stock index fund
|-International stock fund
-Emerging markets fund
|-Interm U.S. govt (or muni) bond index fund
|-Short-term U.S. govt (or muni) bond index fund
-Long-term U.S. govt (or muni) bond index fund
|-Corporate high-yield fund
-Long-term U.S. govt (or muni) bond index fund
|Money market fund
|Money market fund
|Money market fund
Since no fund choice is without trade-offs, here's a closer look at each of the funds in the Level I portfolio. The total domestic stock index fund is just that: broad-based, with U.S. common stocks of all capitalization sizes—large-, mid- and small-cap. These funds hold about 5,000 stocks, but the key is not just the number, but the weightings. Indexes are capitalization-weighted, meaning that large stocks with high capitalizations (number of common stock shares outstanding times the market price per share) tend to dominate a total stock index fund.
Markets and economies are global in scope and so should be your portfolio. Even if the allocation to foreign stocks is small, they do add to overall diversification and risk reduction. Economies and stock markets are much more likely to move in concert in the short term, but over the long term, currency exchange rates and economic growth cycles are not perfectly correlated, so some international diversification makes sense.
What is the simplest way to gain international exposure and diversification? An all-in-one total international stock index fund that covers the primary regional economic zones: Europe, Asia/Pacific, and Latin America. With this regional coverage, both developed and emerging international economies are covered, but developed economies dominate the index, as does Europe. Again, within an index, capitalization-weighting determines exposure and diversification.
The third mutual fund component of Level I is an intermediate-term U.S. government bond index or, if the investment is held in a non-tax-sheltered environment and your tax exposure is significant, an intermediate-term municipal bond fund or state-specific municipal bond fund. The index approach to a bond fund is particularly important because of the low expense ratio relative to the lower total return of bond funds in general.
Why an intermediate-term maturity fund, one usually with weighted average maturity of seven to 10 years? An intermediate maturity captures almost all the yield and total return of a long-term bond fund with substantially less fund volatility caused by changing market interest rates. Why U.S. government bonds? These instruments provide nearly all the return—sometimes more—of corporate bonds, but with no default risk. Also, U.S. government bond index funds are readily available. The money market fund is included as a place to maintain any necessary liquidity, but may be supplanted by bank accounts or short-term U.S. government bond funds. Any short-term, liquid, fixed-income investment vehicle or combination of vehicles with absolutely no default risk can be substituted for the money market fund, including a municipal, tax-free money fund.
The Level I mutual fund portfolio provides substantial diversification and the lowest costs, and it requires very little time and energy to manage. For those investors with minimum financial sophistication and knowledge, it provides an understandable, efficient portfolio mix. And while its simplicity and index nature can accommodate portfolios of very modest size, it can also handle the largest without a hitch.
Level II: Add-Ons
Level II ratchets up the complexity of the Level I portfolio for investors who want to be able to control asset allocation and diversification more precisely, but still employ the efficiency of an index approach.
For example, for better diversity but a bit more complexity, Level II breaks the total domestic stock index into two: An S&P 500 index and an extended market index (the other 4,500 stocks), allowing choice in asset allocations between large-cap stocks and mid- and small-cap stocks, improving diversification possibilities.
Similarly, the foreign markets are broken down into a European stock index, Pacific stock index fund and an emerging markets stock index fund. This allows choice in allocation between the more developed markets and the emerging markets of the Pacific Rim and Eastern Europe.
For the bond holdings, Level II offers a short-term U.S. government bond index and a long-term U.S. government bond index, enabling you to create your own maturity level. A long-term U.S. government bond index can provide a higher return, although with more volatility; combining it with a more stable, although lower-yielding short-term government bond fund allows you to control how much extra risk you are willing to take on for added yield.
Level II should be thought of as an opportunity to mix and match with Level I, rather than as an either/or choice. For example, you may want to break the total domestic stock index into Level II segments, but keep the total international stock index as in Level I. Similarly, you may want to stay at Level I for your bond holdings while shifting to Level II for your stock holdings.
Level III: Active Components
In the Level III fund portfolio, actively managed funds rather than index funds dominate, but again, substitutions from Level I and II can be made.
The rationale for the complexity of Level III is increased control over asset allocation and actively managed funds in sectors that are less efficient—i.e., market segments where fund portfolio managers have the best chances of adding return to more than cover the increased cost of active management over indexing. Large-cap domestic funds (the S&P 500 index fund), and government bonds (the U.S. government bond index fund) remain indexes because of the information quality and efficiency of pricing in these areas.
The S&P 500 index fund includes large-cap value stocks and large-cap growth stocks. In the mid/small-cap area, two actively managed funds—one value oriented, one growth oriented—are included because these funds generally encompass different industries and sectors, requiring different knowledge and talent on the part of the fund's portfolio managers.
Sector funds with the most funds available and of most interest to investors are listed as the extreme of concentrated, much less diversified, expensive and actively managed funds. Investment in these sector funds mandates considerable effort in selection, monitoring, and knowledge.
Similarly, the corporate high-yield fund generates substantial income but presents challenges and risks during certain business and market environments.
Other than the two index funds, the Level III fund portfolio is a high-maintenance, high-financial-sophistication fund portfolio, requiring significant selection and monitoring effort to earn the chance for above-index-fund returns. Level III can handle significant wealth, but would be impractical for very modest investment sums due to the number of funds and the minimums often required for investment.
If actively managed, large-cap growth and value funds are substituted for the S&P 500 index fund and a general bond fund that actively invests among bond issues and bond market segments—such as corporate, mortgage-backed, and government agencies seeking total return, income, and capital gains-is substituted for the U.S. bond index fund, the complexity probably reaches the maximum any investor can reasonably expect to handle well.
Using these portfolios as a guideline, you can create any level you want that comfortably matches your investor profile, yet still remain properly diversified.
Substituting index funds from Level I helps keep the complexity down, while substituting Level III actively managed funds, such as the sector funds or corporate high-yield bond funds, ratchets the complexity up. Just don't forget the trade-offs, and remember that Level I is near minimum but still effective, while Level III is near the maximum limit and only holds promise of increased return and lower risk based on your efforts and skill.

Knicks led by 1 (16-17) and jerome james just entered the game
25 points lead at end of 3rd. Knicks are playing great.
2 more minutes left from the 4th 98-75
well guys, it's the first win from the last 8 games against the heat, isn't it?
knicks beat the heat by 25 points..
a shaq-less heat.. but the defending champs nonetheless.
jeromes james.. 3.3 minutes.. 9 points.. 3 rebounds.. 1 steal. 1 block.
umm.. this isnt for real right?
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
That was a huge win.
Shaq or no Shaq - that was a great win because last season with the same knicks players and Larry Clown at the helm - we got destroyed by a Shaqless HEAT team - the night when Zo had like 9 blocks in the game...
Consecutive blowouts - how sweet it is....
Bring on NJ - i hope we crush those faggots...
Where there is hope, there can be faith
Where there is faith, miracles can occur
Fantastic game by the Knicks. I liked that Isiah didn't take James out when he first asked. Im glad that he is back and hopefully this will light a fire under Curry's behind. I really hope that James can seriously threaten for the starting center spot. A competition will be great for both of them.
great game tonight. total team performance. james and lee especially looked good along with francis. cant have a let down against celtics tho need the win tomorrow
My fellow fans, I went to the game here in miami and I have to tell you how good it felt to see all the heat "fans" leave after the third quarter, the marbury, francis backcourt played pretty good in the beginning, after that they didnt get much playing time together, when lee went in the game it made such a difference, that guy can rebound like a monster, personally i think they should start him. Balkman also great full of energy again.
Impressed most by Lee
Dissapointed most by Frye
X-factor Crawford
overall i woud say they played like they are capable of playing, cant wait to see jeffries in action, 10 out of 10, oh and their defence was incredible..
P.S. wade sucks

Great all around team performance.Shaq or no Shaq,I gotta give the guys credit.Played great defense.Once again David Lee was great,the guy has to get a starting spot.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Hopefully they'll have many more of these victories. They need some of these blowout victories at the Garden.The Knicks, who play host to Boston tonight, have won back-to-back games by 20 points for the first time since 2003. Quentin Richardson (11 rebounds) said it was his best victory as a Knick.
"We just beat the world champions on their home floor by a lot of points and we had everyone contribute," Richardson said. "We had a lot of fun. It makes you open your eyes and think about what can happen when we play hard and together like that."
this is the best all around game the knicks have played in years

Kindergarten has started.
In addition to the new routine of packing lunches and peanut-free snacks every day, we have been also adjusting to the introduction of homework.
The homework is not particularly grueling for a five-year old but we have found that the requirement to sit down and complete exercises and reviews can draw out somewhat with our daughter's need for frequent breaks to get the wiggles out.
We have tried to make the sight word exercises fun, almost puzzle/game-like when we get to those. This homework time has also proven enlightening in a comical way which I'll get to in a few paragraphs or so.
The Sensory Alphabet Discs and Sensory Word-Building Blocks we built out of simple, cheap wooden craft store materials have helped a lot in this area because our daughter can move the letters around to form new words and un-jumble letters to form the correct words. We plan to keep a few letter discs in baggies within her backpack for the word endings that the kids are working on each week. This way, when boredom strikes, she can always take out that tupperware lid and letter disc-baggy and word-build on a whim.
Using the letter discs has made sight word exercises a little more fun and exploratory for our little girl.
After some time working on the development of new words, our daughter came to a new exercise that seemed very simple.
It was an optional drawing exercise to close up the lesson. The assignment said, "Draw a picture of a cap".
Our daughter drew what appeared to be either a nose-diving pregnant sea-horse or one of those dreadful head-kerchiefs that the unstylish masses sported years ago. (Unexplainably, I believe I still see those awful things in accessory stores from time to time.)
I asked her why she drew her "C-A-P Cap" like that. What were all those vertical lines, really?
And she said to me, "Those lines are those bumpy things on top of the cap. You know the ones on daddy's BEER CAP???!!!"
No way.
There is no way that, in the 5.5 years of our daughter's life, that we have failed to impart to her the OTHER meaning of "C-A-P". I mean, I could see that a five year old might not fully appreciate the concept of a "melting polar ice cap", or the more metaphorical verb form of "capping the night with a toast!".
But, surely, at some point we used that word to highlight something we wear on our heads to enjoy or play sports or to cover our ears in the cold?
Could it be possible that whenever her kindergarten teacher introduced the word "Cap" to the young students that images of her dad enjoying a nice cool brew with dinner popped into her head with nary a thought of the human-head covering type?
I can just envision how this lesson might've panned out in a classroom environment if I hadn't caught it in time to teach her the other meaning of "Cap"…
Teacher: Blogger-Daughter, can you use the new word "Cap" in a sentence?
Blogger-Daughter: Yes, teacher, I can! My mom always says, "Why is there a beer cap in the food disposal, again???!!!"
Oh, goodness.
I think I know what we will be doing tomorrow.
I am going to go through all the projected sight words for the rest of the year to see if there are any other spring-loaded tricky ones (like this one) in our future that I need to head off at the pass.
But, this was a great exercise in the end.
We are really getting to use those sensory letter discs.
There appears to be some early childhood literacy happening.
And, now our daughter officially understands that the word "C-A-P" can also refer to a very innocuous head garment.
It only took nearly 6 years to make that last one happen.
But, really, guys- let's take another look at that picture she drew.
Those are some pretty impressive beer-cap ridges, don't you think? That is some real attention to detail!
And, really- is she even WRONG?
Yes. Yes.
I completely agree with you.

EMERGING is a regular column where ARTINFO spotlights an up-and-coming artist.
A recent graduate of Columbia University's prestigious MFA program, painter Matthew Watson is staking his place in the art world in his first solo show at Joe Sheftel Gallery on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. His new series of Renaissance-styled portraits highlight prominent art world figures from his ever-growing social and professional network.
The artist garnered attention and early representation with Upper East Side space Davidson Contemporary on the strength of the intimate portraits of Brooklyn-based, Polish immigrants he displayed in his thesis exhibition last year. Their visible traces of addiction were captured with photographic expertise in oil on copper.
After shows at Work Gallery in Brooklyn, and the Pulse Art Fair in Miami, Watson's newest paintings in "Commission|Barter|For Sale" continue to showcase his exceptional skills with paint, and his fascination with the aristocratic tradition of oil portraiture. However, the new works focus more on the hierarchical structure of commissioned court paintings – with an art world insider's bent. Instead of dukes and ladies posed in regalia amidst domestic scenery, his subjects are dealers and fellow artists positioned alongside their personal collections of art. Relationships between artist and subject are subtly defined through his brushwork, as seen in the large smile of the sitter in "B.R.D., A.H., J.C. and A.C.," (2013), or the relaxed slump in "J.S. and A.D.C.," (2013) – the latter depicts his own dealer Joe Sheftel.
He told ARTINFO, "An artwork can serve as a positioning tool for its owner, and for me the paintings reflect that. The show is a presentation of my community, but it is also a microcosm that reflects the larger field it participates in."
Watson negotiates the terms of his commissions before beginning each work, and fluidly collaborates with his subjects to position them within their homes and offices next to their favorite artworks – in a way, mimicking the nature of his own personal relationships with them. "The work always begins with an exchange. This is the continuity between this exhibition and previous works. I have always worked on commissioned portraits, and it is here that the exchange seems most transparent."
Names like Jutta Koether, Dan Graham, and Alex da Corte appear Watson's paintings, but it is up to the viewer to distinguish between the seated subject and the author of the artwork they are posed with. "Using someone's full name as a title would locate them in one step," he explained, "whereas if I withheld it but provided clues it would challenge the viewer to locate them, and hopefully in the process locate themselves as spectators into the field."

Georgetown Fends Off Harvard in Tight 11-10 Win
from press release
WASHINGTON - Senior midfielder Zack Angel (Park Hall, Md./St. Mary's Ryken) scored what would prove to be the game-winning goal with seven minutes left in the fourth quarter and senior goalie Matt Winter (New Haven, Conn./Choate Rosemary Hall) and the Hoyas defense held No. 20 Harvard (2-2, 0-0 Ivy League) to just one more score to lead the Georgetown University men's lacrosse team (2-1, 0-0 Big East) to a victory on Saturday afternoon at Multi-Sport Field.
In a series where each of the four games have been decided by one goal, neither team ever led by more than two goals in a game that featured five tie scores.
Angel had his second consecutive three-goal game for the Hoyas and junior attack Jason McFadden (Bel Air, Md./Calvert Hall) had his first career hat trick to lead the offense. Junior attack Travis Comeau (Red Deer, Alberta[Canada]/The Hill Academy) had two goals and an assist, while junior midfielders Brian Casey and Dan McKinney each had one goal and two assists in the victory.
Winter, in his second career start, made 12 saves, including four in the fourth quarter to earn his second consecutive victory. Senior defender Patrick Schmitz (Bethesda, Md./Georgetown Prep) caused four turnovers for a defense that caused 16 overall.
The Crimson scored the game's opening goal at the 11:21 mark in the first quarter, but Georgetown would go to work on the offensive end soon after. McFadden answered, ripping a shot past Harvard goalie Harry Krieger with 7:21 remaining in the quarter. McKinney followed, putting GU in front, 2-1 on a driving shot, for his first goal of the season.
Harvard quickly tied the score, but Casey would make them pay following a slashing penalty, scoring an extra man goal on an assist from Zac Guy to take a 3-2 lead at the end of the first quarter. Again, Harvard tied the score, this time at three, but Angel and McFadden each pumped in extra-man goals less than a minute apart on the non-releasable penalty, to put GU in front 5-3. Comeau later scored his first goal of the game with 19 seconds left in the half after a stretch of over 10 minutes of scoreless action, to give GU a 6-4 lead going into the break.
The teams continued to play back-and-forth, as Jeff Cohen scored his first of three second half goals for Harvard to open the third quarter. McFadden answered again, depositing the Casey feed in the back of the net to put GU back in front by two goals, at 7-5. The Crimson tied the score again at seven, but Angel would break a tie for the second time, putting the Hoyas in front on McKinney's assist.
Comeau gave the Hoyas some breathing room with the team's fifth extra-man goal of the game, scoring on an acrobatic move close to the cage on the feed from Casey, to take a 9-7 lead into the fourth quarter. Though Harvard's Daniel Eipp scored the first two goals of the fourth quarter, tying the score at nine.
Freshman Joe Bucci (Ithaca, N.Y./Ithaca) made his first career goal an important one, breaking the tie midway through the fourth quarter. Bucci drove to the left and blasted a shot past the goalie with 9:04 remaining in the game to take a 10-9 lead. Angel would help seal the Hoyas victory just under two minutes later, taking the feed from McKinney, eluding a defender and scoring his third goal of the of the game and team-leading eighth of the season, giving the Hoyas a two-goal edge, at 11-9.
Harvard scored once more, but Winter made two key saves through the final four-and-a-half minutes, as Georgetown would wind the clock down on the offensive end to seal an 11-10 victory.

Science Impacts
By 2050 the global population is expected to reach 9 billion. This rapid population growth, taking place against a backdrop of global warming, is creating unprecedented challenges for food and energy security. The ocean will play an important role in the solutions to these challenges and research conducted by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is contributing to this work of major societal importance. The NOC is also addressing the question of whether the frequency and intensity of marine hazards such as coastal flooding due to storm surges will increase as the climate warms. Research at NOC is called upon to inform public policy. The marine technologies we develop at NOC to support our science are frequently transferred to business and industry

Vt Lottery announces million-dollar winner
BERLIN The Vermont Lottery has identified the $1 million winner who purchased the lucky Mega Millions ticket in Berlin.
Irving Lawrence Jr., of Berlin, bought the ticket at the Maplewood Convenience Store. The ticket was worth $250,000, but since Lawrence bought the $1 Megaplier, the total winnings quadrupled.

It's the result of a district restructuring proposed earlier this year by Beeville Independent School District Superintendent Dr. Sue Thomas as a strategy to produce higher test scores.
The plan, approved by the BISD board of trustees at its meeting Tuesday, affects every school in the district.
Starting with the fall, 2013 semester, first- and second-grade students will attend classes at FMC Elementary, third- and fourth-grade students will be taught at R.A. Hall Elementary and fifth- and sixth-graders will go to school at Thomas Jefferson Elementary. Pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students will report to Hampton-Moreno-Dugat Early Learning Center.
Leaderships at the schools have also changed.
The principal at HMD will be Jaime Rodriguez, former principal at A.C. Jones High School.
Rodriguez, who lives in Pettus, announced about a month ago that he wished to step down as leader of the high school because the workload didn't allow the time he needed with his children and family.
Martina Villarreal moves from R.A. Hall Elementary to be principal at FMC; Belinda Aguirre switches from being principal at HMD to be principal at Hall Elementary; Thomas Jefferson Elementary will be directed by Principal Jean Blankenship; and DeeDee Bernal, former FMC principal, will be principal at A.C. Jones.
Under the restructuring, sixth-grade students revert to elementary school status rather than being part of the student body at Moreno Middle School.
Thomas says the plan is enjoying an 80 percent approval from both teachers and parents, who gave almost total approval of the switch of the sixth grade back to elementary school.
The superintendent chose Thomas Jefferson Elementary for fifth- and sixth-graders because it used to be a junior high school.
"It has a band room and a large auditorium," she says. "I would like to start offering music in the fifth grade, giving the students a head start."
To help parents get their children to school on time, Thomas plans to initiate staggered hours this fall, but with board approval for the plan only hours old, she has no specifics.
She says the restructuring will not place additional burden on the district's transportation department, already hampered by a continued shortage of bus drivers.

Lincoln bows to the students assembled at the Haverford stationTuesday, February 22nd, 2011
One hundred and fifty years ago today, President-elect Abraham Lincoln passed through Haverford, PA, on his journey by train to the presidential inauguration in the capital city of Washington, DC. His trip began on February 11, 1861 as he and his wife boarded a train at the Great Western Railroad depot in Springfield, IL. That day, he gave brief remarks along the way in Springfield, Tolono, and Danville, IL, at the Indiana State Line, and in Lafayette, Thorntown, and Indianapolis, IN.
The inaugural route from Illinois to Washington, DC, is now famous for its avoidance of what has become known as the "Baltimore Plot." As the first president to be elected from the Republican Party and with Southern states threatening to secede over the issue of slavery, there was considerable tension over a possible plot to assassinate the President-elect on his journey to the capitol. The Pinkerton National Detective Agency was hired to provide security on the journey and a route that took the President-elect through Baltimore at night (and in disguise) was secretly planned to secure his safety.
The inaugural route wound its way through seventy towns and cities, from Illinois through Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania and on to New York State. Arriving in the City of Brotherly Love from New Jersey, the President-elect gave several speeches including those to the Mayor and the citizens of Philadelphia and to a delegation from Wilmington, DE. He gave two rousing speeches at Independence Hall on February 22 before continuing his journey to Harrisburg and on to Washington, DC.
We know from A History of Haverford College For the First Sixty Years of Its Existence (1892) that Lincoln "appeared on the rear platform of the train and bowed to the students assembled at the station" and student Thomas Battey, class of 1863, later remarked in a letter that "As the train passed by the successive groups that had gathered along the bank sloping down to the road bed, the tall form of 'Old Abe' appeared on the rear platform, hat in hand, and bowed graciously to each group" (Providence, 5 mo. 4, 1927). At the time, Haverford Station on the Pennsylvania Railroad was located at the edge of campus on what today we call Railroad Avenue. While there is no evidence that his train stopped or that he gave a speech, his brief appearance must have made a deep impression upon the 65 male students enrolled in the College. For a time there was a historical marker on this spot.
Another who saw the President-elect was Charles Roberts, class of 1864. Soon to become an avid collector of autograph letters, the young Roberts had received Lincoln's signature from November 17, 1860, just 11 days after he won the presidential election. This letter would become the nucleus of an extensive collection of autograph letters collected by Roberts over the course of his life. In 1903, his collection of over 12,000 items was donated to the College by his widow, Lucy Branson Roberts.
The brief passage through Haverford would not be the only time that the students would get to see Lincoln. Sadly, on April 22, 1865 the assassinated President's body would again pass through Haverford Station, this time retracing the inaugural route in reverse. Haverford Professor (later President) Thomas Chase spoke at Collection on the day of his assassination and his wife, Alice, remembered receiving the news:
Was it not a terrible blow on Seventh day. A student, Allan Thomas, came before we had left our room in the morning. Thomas [Chase] went down to see him and soon returned so overcome with grief that I knew something unexpected and dreadful had happened, but could not prepare myself for anything so horrible as the truth, and when he told me I was almost as much overwhelmed as himself (Lawnside [Haverford], April 19, 1865).
Special thanks to Diana Franzusoff Peterson, Manuscripts Librarian and College Archivist, and Anne Upton, Quaker Bibliographer and Special Collections Librarian, for providing assistance researching this event.

CC Sabathia to the Yankees
After roughly three weeks, CC Sabathia finally signed with the Yankees. The Yankees initially offered Sabathia six years at $140 million, but upped their offer to seven years $160 million. That was unnecessary, in my opinion, and a waste of money as well. Sure it had taken Sabathia a long time to respond, but the Brewers offered him $100 million, and there was a $40 million dollar difference to begin with, and no California team had made him an offer. It did not seem like the Yankees needed to increase their offer, but perhaps they did so to make it clear to Sabathia that the Yankees were indeed, the highest bidders.
7 Comments
It is sooo weird that the Yankees got CC. I mean, they are getting a ton of amazing players. It's kind of sad. But I am very excited because Jake isn't getting traded to the Cubs!!!!! WHOOO HOOOO!!
Yes, Elizabeth, the Yankees are far from done. You even forgot to mention that Girardi met with Sheets on Tuesday, and we're reportedly getting our offer for him ready.
As for your Varitek situation, I think you guys have him, pretty much, and you had him all the way.
Elizabeth – not only did the Red Sox & Beckett beat C.C. when he pithced for the Indians – we smoked him! His ERA for those 2 games was over 10! We can take him as a Yankee!
The Sox have torched CC, true, but let's see how it goes in '09. The Yankees are hungry to get back on top! Btw, Kaybee, "a ton of amazing players?" Who are they? Nick Swisher?🙂
New stadium and coming off a year where they didn't make the playoffs for the first time in 13 years. They Yankees definately think they have something to prove next season. I wouldn't be surprised if they kept flashing the cash all the way till April.
Hey, Elizabeth …
Well, CC Sabathia was the Yankees "number one" priority this winter, and they finally signed him !!! … Brian Cashman made the Yankees "final pitch" at CC's San Francisco home, and I'm sure the extra $20 Million the Yankees offered to sweeten the deal [seven years / $161 Million] made the decision very easy [finally] for CC and his wife Amber to accept !!! …. But, Sabathia does have an option in the deal, to "opt-out" after three years; so, we will see if he still likes the New York area after the 2011 season …. Three World Series "rings" over the next three years will even sweeten the deal a little more for CC and the Yankees !!! … It will be fun to watch the first Sabathia vs. Beckett pitching matchup !!! … Also, Elizabeth, I hope the Red Sox Organization agrees with you regarding Mark Teixeira … You said, in your above post, "you really don't think the Red Sox need him [Tex] that badly" … Well, I feel the Yankees really need to sign Teixeira, and that should be the Yanks "next" priority … I think, the signing of Tex, would be just as important to the Yankees, as the CC signing !!! … But, it looks like the Red Sox are the "favorite" [right now] to sign Teixeira. [I really don't think Tex will sign with the Nationals or Orioles] … The Angels are still hopeful they can work out a deal to keep Tex in L.A. ; and, the Yankees are not totally out of the "Tex Sweepstakes" just yet !!! … So, if the Sox do sign Mark Tex, I know it will not be great news for all in the Yankees Universe … Tex will make the Boston lineup much more powerful; and, certainly, will add to the excitement of the great "Yankees vs. Red Sox" rivalry !!! … Nice Post, Elizabeth !!! ….. Jimmy [27NYY] ….. http://baseballtheyankeesandlife.mlblogs.com/
Wow!! I think New York is starting to become the preseason favorite with all the arms they're picking up. Who's next? Lowe, Sheets?
But hey, that's why they play the games, right? Looking good on paper doesn't translate to anything until all 162 games are in the books.
You're right about the AL East…get ready for a crazy season in '09!

Repairman Vinnie Giordano says ranges always seem to stop working just when you're about to cook a big dinner. Vinnie Giordano "People call in a panic because their stove's been broken. They want to get it fixed as quickly as possible." Consumer Reports' survey covering more than 67-thousand gas and electric ranges bought in the last five years finds big differences in reliability. For instance, popular brands like KitchenAid and Jenn-Air were among the most repair-prone. "We do this survey every year, and while we don't have repair histories of individual models, we've found you're much less likely to need repairs if you buy from a brand with a good record of reliability." The most reliable electric ranges: Hotpoint, General Electric, and Whirlpool. And if you're in the market for a gas range, among the most reliable have been Hotpoint, GE, and Kenmore. What about pro-style ranges that can cost thousands? Consumer Reports surveyed more than 500 of its readers who own one. Celia Lehrman, "The repair-rate is significantly higher for these expensive ranges. Of those bought in the last five years, more than a third needed to be repaired. And nine percent of them needed to be repaired three times or more." That means you'll have less chance of needing Vinnie if you skip a pro range and get a regular stove from one of the more reliable brands. ."

Need for Speed: Shift ReviewBy Brian Leahy - Posted Sep 15, 2009
EA has a tough sell with Need for Speed: Shift as franchise fans could be turned off by its simulation approach and sim fans might not trust the series' long history of arcade-style gameplay. It would be tragic if both groups overlooked this game. Gamers that do give Shift a chance, however, will find a polished, rewarding racing experience both offline and online. It's undoubtedly one of the year's best racing titles.
The Pros
- Best Racing Cockpit View To Date
- Driver Profile & Points System Highly Rewarding
- Varied Gameplay Modes
- All Playstyles & Skill Levels Welcome
The Cons
- Simulation Purists Might Be Disappointed
- Lower Number of Cars & Tracks Compared To Other Games
- Drifting Is Tough & Introduced With Little Tutorial
EA has a tough sell with Need for Speed: Shift as franchise fans could be turned off by its simulation approach and sim fans might not trust the series' long history of arcade-style gameplay. It would be tragic if both groups overlooked this game. Gamers that do give Shift a chance, however, will find a polished, rewarding racing experience both offline and online. It's undoubtedly one of the year's best racing titles.
Wait, This Doesn't Feel Like Need for Speed!
Need for Speed: Shift brings the franchise back to the track. The guys at Slightly Mad Studios have taken Need For Speed into the simulation realm, but they aren't taking it all the way. Shift toes the line between arcade and sim perfectly, presenting as realistic experience as the player desires with crisp arcade controls. It's this type of dual functionality that sums up Shift. It won't approach the realism of Forza or Gran Turismo, but it doesn't have to because the game is just so much fun.
The Incredible Cockpit Camera Of Awesome
Shift's cockpit camera presents, hands-down, the most immersive racing experience in a videogame without having to purchase three HDTV's and a racing chair. The innovation is in mounting the camera to the virtual drivers head instead of a fixed position inside the car. It allows the camera to move realistically as you speed down the track. When speeding up, the camera is pushed back into the seat to simulate the momentum of acceleration. Hit the brakes and the camera rushes toward the front of the car, as you would expect. Hit a wall and the camera shakes independently of the car. Shift also plays with vision in this view, blurring everything outside a focal point on the track ahead when going fast and going gray and red when a nasty collision occurs. Tired of crashes not feeling visceral in racing games? Try hitting a wall at 200 miles per hour in Shift.
It actually makes you feel like you're going fast. Need for Speed: Shift needs to be played using the cockpit camera. It's not just meant to show off how meticulously detailed a car's interior has been modeled by the developers. It functionally changes the game and the genre.
Bipolar Racing Has Its Benefits
For far too long, racing games have been about one thing: finishing first. There wasn't much else to do beyond taking that top spot on the podium in each race. In Need for Speed: Shift, you'll always be working toward bigger objectives. As you drive, you'll earn points to your driver profile, which goes up to level 50, bringing unlocks at each level. These unlocks could be big cash payouts, new livery to decorate your ride, or a spot in a special invitational event.
Players will gain points along two pathways: Precision and Aggression and neither is favored over the other in the game. You'll be rewarded for being aggressive just as much as someone who follows the racing line and takes corners perfectly.
Beyond the driver profile, each race has a lot to do beyond going for that first place finish. Each corner of every track can be "mastered" by following the racing line as cleanly as possible through a turn. Career events have additional objectives to be completed for more stars, which are used to unlock higher tiered events. These could be things like completing a lap without hitting any walls or opponents or hitting a certain point threshold.
It feels a lot like Call of Duty 4's multiplayer progression. Even if you aren't at the top of the scoreboard, you're gaining points to unlock new content in the game. It's this added layer of meta-gaming on top of an already solid experience that really separates Shift from its competitors.
How Many Different Ways Can I Race The Same Track?
There are several different racing modes in Shift that you'll run into during the career, which includes standard lap-based races, hot-laps, drift challenges, eliminator events, same-car manufacturer races, endurance races, and something called "Driver Duel". The ultimate goal of the game being a podium finish in the NFS World Tour.
They are all pretty self-explanatory, but Driver Duel brings the Need for Speed attitude to track racing. This mode is a one-on-one race between two "rival" cars in a best of three laps on a particular track and is an intense mode that gets the adrenaline pumping. Drifting is one of the game's lesser strengths, but luckily there are enough stars to be gained in the other events to avoid drifting until absolutely necessary.
Let's Talk Numbers!
Need for Speed: Shift doesn't boast the car counts of some other racing games, hitting just over 70 cars on the disc. There's less emphasis put on car collection here. Most events will provide the car you'll need to compete instead of forcing the player to buy a specific ride before being able to progress. It's a nice change of pace and I never ran into an instance where I didn't have the right car to continue the career.
There are a good amount of real-world tracks in Shift including Laguna Seca and Nurburgring, but the developers have also created some original tracks in real world locales like London and Tokyo. The real and fictional tracks mesh well and there are enough that I didn't ever feel like I was continually racing on the same course over and over again.
Racing Against People Is More Fun!
Shift's multiplayer supports up to 8 cars on a track for regular multiplayer races and winners will earn cash just like in the career mode. Driver Duel Championship is the other mode and it plays out a lot like Street Fighter IV's Championship Mode. Players begin at the lowest tier with the winner advancing to the next level. There, the player will face an opponent that also won their first tier duel. As you climb up the ladder, the cars will get more powerful. This system uses the best two-out-of-three duel rules from the career mode. The online experience is smooth and the netcode provides lag-free races.
Making Racing Fun Again
Need for Speed: Shift is easily the best Need for Speed game in recent memory and is one of the year's best racing games. As mentioned, even if it's deeper than an arcade racer, it's not a details-obsessed sim like Forza or Gran Turismo. However, it's more fun and approachable for a larger number of people. There's always something to strive toward in Shift beyond finishing first, and the actual driving is rewarding thanks to the amazing cockpit camera (the best I've ever experienced in a racing game) and spectacular controls. If you're a racing game fan, go ahead and pick up Need for Speed: Shift. It brings back a lot of the fun that has been missing from sim-oriented racers for a while.

Tracing Marriages in 18th Century England and Wales: A Reassessment of Law and Practice
The Clandestine Marriages Act of 1753 marked an important development in the history of marriage by putting the requirements for a valid marriage on a statutory basis for the first time. But what was the situation before 1753, and what practical impact did the Act have on popular practice? This thorough reassessment of law and practice is of particular relevance to those tracing their ancestors. First, the universality of formal marriage increases the likelihood that a record of an ancestor's marriage will exist somewhere; secondly, parish-level studies provide us with a clearer idea of where one may need to look for a marriage; and, thirdly, success or failure in tracing a marriage can be set within the context of the marriage law and practice of the time.

The End of Children Roaming
Written from a Generation Y perspective: How many times did we hear from our grandparents, "I walked five miles to school up hill both ways." The story usually is not heard from our parents, however. The increase in scale of living allowed our parents to be driven to locations or at very least bike. Catholicgauze's generation was blessed with the same benefits but the increase in perceived crime combined with Satanic Panic, kidnapping fears, and other hysterias to limit our roaming. Today's youths are limited even more in their freedom.
The Daily Mail has an excellent article describing the end of roaming children phenomenon. The article brings up why we should care about the lack of roaming. First off is the simple matter of physical health and exercise. Geography also comes into play, though. A roving child comes into contact with a variety of natural and human landscapes. This allows for an acquired apprication of the world (or at very least different enviornments). Even in a city, different neighborhoods can educate one immensely about people and the world. Geography, even local geography, matters.

Have you heard of the uber popular "Dangerous Book For Boys"? It teaches fathers and sons many of the old "roaming" games and activities seemingly long forgotten since the era of obsessive parenting.
- Catholicgauze said...
No I haven't but I should once the monster that is the thesis is done. Games like Orienteering and other roaming activities are ones that I will teach my children.
- Goethe said...
D.H. Lawrence's early novel "Sons and Lovers" describes the hero's many-miled walks morning and evening to and from the train station (from where he was transported to the city to work). The mother also used to make the long walk on a regular basis. I forget offhand how many miles they walked, but definitely incomprehensible to affluent moderns.
- Tony Cassidy said...
Interesting post, I do think the age of roaming is over for most youngsters, perhaps not so in more rural areas of the U.K. .
An interesting new aspect of child geography in the U.K. is the ASBO, which limits the movement of an individual within certain areas, depending on their misbehaviour.

There are times when I get frustrated with nursing my soon to be 2 year old...like when he twiddles or climbs all over me while nursing, and when I feel touched out yet he wants "nee nees" to kiss his boo boo...there are times when I secretly doubt that he is really getting all this good stuff from my milk, and wonder how good it really is.
Well this past week was literally the week from hell in my house. Joshua (my 4 year old) came down with the worst case of the stomach bug ever. He was literally vomiting for 4 days straight, high fever, diarrhea, chills...it was awful. Then DH caught it and had it for 24 hours...I happened to be next...I was like the exorcist. It was awful and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I had fever, chills, body aches, vomiting every 10 minutes, everything. Jonah continued to nurse through all of this (although my supply dipped because I was dehydrated). The day after I had it he complained that his tummy hurt. I was so petrified of him going through this...except he didn't!!!!
He had a slight fever that lasted 3 hours and during that time he was restless and saying his belly hurt. He didn't eat much that day, he just nursed (this was 2 days ago) He went to bed and slept the entire night (only waking to nurse maybe once). The next day he was 100% fine, we even took him fishing. I have no doubt that the antibodies in my milk saved him from the torturous virus It's times like this that I am thankful for nursing my almost 2 year old...oh and when he says "mommy I love you so much and I love nee nees so much too"
I am also thankful that I caught it before him so that my milk had those antibodies

- Abstract
- Supernova 1998bw holds the record for the most energetic Type Ic explosion, one of the brightest radio supernovae and probably the first supernova associated with a y-ray burst. In this paper we present spectral observations of SN 1998bw observed in a cooperative monitoring campaign using the Anglo-Australian Telescope, the UK Schmidt Telescope and the Siding Springs Observatories 2.3-m telescope. We investigate the evolution of the spectrum between 7 and 94 d after V-band maximum in comparison with well-studied examples of Type Ic SNe in order to quantify the unusual properties of this supernova event. Though the early spectra differ greatly from observations of classical Ic supernovae (SNe), we find that the evolution from the photospheric to nebular phases is slow but otherwise typical. The spectra differ predominantly in the extensive line blending and blanketing which has been attributed to the high velocity of the ejecta. We find that by day 19, the absorption line minima blueshifts are 10-50 per cent higher than other SNe and on day 94 emission lines are 45 per cent broader, as expected if the progenitor had a massive envelope. However, it is difficult to explain the extent of line blanketing entirely by line broadening, and we argue that an additional contribution from other species is present, indicating unusual relative abundances or physical conditions in the envelope.
