Radio Free Internet
If you ever share anything on the web, you know that when you hear an interesting clip of someone speaking — part of an interview, speech, or podcast — you pretty much automatically resign yourself to the fact that it's hard to share, so it's unlikely to spread far even among people who you think might like what they hear.
But even that's getting ahead of ourselves. How often do you happen upon a piece of audio that says something interesting about the topic you're researching? And even when you do find a promising piece of media, is there anything you'd rather do less than sift through it for the useful parts, which you can't easily break out and share anyway?
These problems can be solved with current technology, and open up new avenues for profit while we're at it. That's what I discuss in a series at the blog of CRAFT | Media / Digital, where I work with QandO founder Jon Henke and one of the earliest bloggers, Sean Hackbarth.
Enjoy, and please share with anyone who might find this a cool idea:

I'm planning on breastfeeding my baby (due in about two months) and am in the middle of a divorce. I just got word that my husband plans to seek overnight and lengthy visitations from the very beginning, and expects me to pump to accomodate this. I have also heard that the courts agree that breastfeeding should not interfere with a father's right to visitations and am afraid they don't understand it's not that easy to provide enough expressed milk from the onset of birth.
He was not supportive of my breastfeeding our first child and I ended up stopping after only 4months, with pumping beginning at 8days post birth. Even then my supply was low and I never truly had an "abundant" stored amount.
I have tried to explain that it takes time to develop a plentiful supply and even more time to develop enough "stored" milk to accomodate overnight/lengthy visitations. They just don't seem to understand or want to listen to me. I have no intention of keeping the child from her father, but can't find any resources on the length of time it takes to develop adaquete supplies or anything to help them realize that I have no control over how much milk I make and how quickly (or slowly) it comes in.
I feel totally alone in this, but definitely will not give up!
Does anyone have any suggestions??

I'm confident in my manhood. Self-assured, not afraid to hold my wife's purse in a department store.
So when the need arose to assist my wife in shopping for a new bra, I opted to give her my support. At the time, support was one of the things lacking in her life if not her wardrobe.
Her need for undergarments arose over the last few weeks while she's been laid up with her broken ankle in a cast. Instead of putting her unmentionables in the hamper, she has been guilty of leaving them scattered about the bedroom.
The young dog recently found that the elastic in a brassiere makes for a great chew toy. Snatching a bra, right in front of his mommy was easy since she couldn't chase him onto the back lawn.
This is the same dog responsible for the hole in said lawn in which the wife broke her ankle. It's hard to say why this dog still lives, let alone runs our lives.
Each evening I picked up the chewed undergarments in the back yard and tossed out those unsalvageable. Finally the day to get the plaster cast off the ankle arrived and in the process of helping the wife find clothes to wear to the doctor's appointment I realized that we were down to one bra and a strap on that one threatened to give under the strain as we buckled my wife into the device.
We agreed that a stop at the store on the way back from the doctor was necessary.
We made our way to the foundation department of the store and I must say I was impressed at the choices available. Despite the selection we had a problem finding the right size.
I won't mention that size here in print. Suffice it to say we're talking ample here.
While my wife rested her now boot cast clad ankle in a ride-on shopping cart, I began calling out sizes styles and colors to her. I might have been confident in my manhood but she was becoming a little self-conscious of my broadcasting our search to those around us. I was having a great time cracking jokes, though.
Finally we found ourselves looking through the Ma Kettle collection and began to turn up some winners.
We selected a front-closure lacy-cupped model in a nude color, a sexy animal print smooth cupped bra and a package of Fruit of the Loom briefs in white (for me).
In the animal print, my wife looks like Barbara Bach in the movie "Caveman" and I look a lot like Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie" when I wear the lacy bra over my briefs.

"The mass never comes up to the standard of its best member, but on the contrary degrades itself to a level with the lowest"
"Hearing Mass is the ceremony I most favor during my travels. Church is the only place where someone speaks to me and I do not have to answer back."
"It is in the familiar structure of the Mass itself that a Catholic not only encounters but finds himself received into the very gospel itself, day by day, year after year... the entire liturgy is a seamless gospel fabric, so to speak. It is the gospel, in public, ceremonial, ritual, explicit form."
"Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language."
"All of us who professionally use the mass media are the shapers of society. We can vulgerize that society. We can brutalize it. Or we can help lift it onto a higher level."
"Man is the best computer we can put aboard a spacecraft, and the only one that can be mass produced with unskilled labor"
"I've decided something: Commercial things really do stink. As soon as it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks."

- A preliminary analysis of vocabulary in mobile app user reviews
- Author(s)
- Hoon, Leonard; Vasa, Rajesh; Schneider, Jean-Guy; Mouzakis, Kon
- Abstract
- Online software distribution channels such as Apple Inc.'s App Store and Google Inc.'s Google Play provide a platform for third-party app distribution. These online stores feature a public review system, allowing users to express opinions regarding purchased apps. These reviews can influence product-purchasing decisions via polarised sentiment (1 to 5 stars) and user expressed opinion. For developers, reviews are a user-facing crowd-sourced indicator of app quality. Hence, high ratings and positive reviews affect the viability of an app's commercial feasibility. However, it is less clear what information is contained within these reviews, and more importantly, if an analysis of these reviews can inform developers of design priorities as opposed to just influencing purchasing decisions. We analysed 8.7 million reviews from 17,330 apps on the App Store and found that the most frequently used words in user reviews lean toward expressions of sentiment despite employment of only approximately 37% of the words within the English language dictionary. Furthermore, the range of words used to express negative opinions is significantly higher than when positive sentiments are expressed.

How to Fight Terror While Preserving Liberty
Op-Ed, Baltimore Sun
November 16, 2004
Author: Juliette Kayyem, Belfer Lecturer in Inernational Security, Harvard Kennedy School
CONTRARY TO popular view, the Patriot Act did not address many of the toughest legal issues Americans face in trying to balance our concern for our freedoms with worries about our safety in the war on terror. What are needed are new rules for a new era.
For example, Congress, even after hearings on the Abu Ghraib prison torture scandal, still has not spelled out when it is appropriate to use what forms of coercion during interrogations. The lack of clear rules jeopardizes both our liberty - when irresponsible government agents go too far - and our security - when responsible government agents hesitate for fear of crossing an unseen line.
Over the past year, Oklahoma City's National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism and Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and Law School brought together more than 20 U.S. and British security and legal experts to wrestle with 10 of the thorniest issues affecting liberty and security.
Their recommendations were to be unveiled at a news conference in Washington today, including draft legislation to give Congress a head start. Briefly, they are:
· Coercive interrogations: The United States must comply with its treaty obligations not to engage in torture. Treaty obligations not to use cruel and inhuman techniques short of torture must also be obeyed unless there is a clear immediate threat to American lives that only coercion might stop; the president must approve this limited exception. Regularly permissible interrogation techniques consistent with the Convention Against Torture should be approved by the president and provided to Congress.
· Detentions outside combat zones: Americans should not be detained without probable cause. If revealing evidence critical to the prosecution in a case would endanger national security, a judge should be able to grant extensions of the trial date for up to two years to let the government get alternative, publicly usable evidence.
For aliens in the United States, detention must be determined by a federal judge, supported by clear evidence and include access to a personal lawyer or, when the judge finds secrecy essential, a "cleared" advocate.
· Military trials: Anyone in the United States has a right to trial in a U.S. federal district court. Non-Americans seized abroad on charges of violating the laws of war should be tried using court-martial procedures, just as are U.S. military personnel. Non-Americans seized abroad for war crimes should be tried by local governments, if the governments are willing and no security secrets would be exposed.
· Targeted killing: Outside a combat zone, there must be no targeted killing unless the president finds evidence that the killing is immediately necessary and provides that evidence to Congress. Targeted killing is never allowed against Americans, anyone in the United States or anyone in a country that is willing to extradite the suspect for trial.
· Intercepting communications: U.S. intelligence cannot spy on Americans' communications at home or abroad without probable cause, but conversations of, or information about, Americans acquired while targeting aliens abroad can be used by U.S. agencies. Foreign intelligence capabilities cannot be used in the United States except under the attorney general's supervision and in full compliance with all U.S. laws.
· Data-mining: Courts can authorize general access to broad collections of private transaction records only if the names of individuals are withheld and only if particular patterns would likely indicate a terrorist plan. The government can obtain actual names involved only if suspect patterns are found.
· Biometric identification: Such identifiers should not be used unless an individual is seeking access to sensitive resources or targets or seeking to enter the country. Detailed regulations should control the use of biometric data for granting access to sensitive areas.
· Surveillance of religious and political meetings: Unless a reasonable basis exists to suspect a group is plotting terrorism, federal agents can attend meetings of a religious or political group only if they have reason to suspect the particular meeting will involve advocating political violence or hatred against another group and only if a senior FBI official approves the investigation every 60 days.
· Profiling: Profiling Americans based broadly on race or national origin is never permitted. Treating a citizen differently from others based on his or her association with a religious or political group is permissible if the group is reasonably suspected of planning criminal activity or is an agent of a foreign power. Differing treatment on the basis of an individual's nationality is permissible where access is granted at the discretion of government agents (at an airport or sensitive facility, not a public park).
· Oversight: If the executive branch feels compelled to take extraordinary measures that impose on traditional freedoms in order to protect the country, Congress should establish a nonpartisan commission to continually review the need for them. Each government agency's inspector general should annually review the use of any extraordinary authority.
Whether or not Congress adopts these recommendations, it must accept its responsibility to provide clear guidance on what we as a society do and do not want done to keep us safe from terrorism. The threat of highly destructive terrorism will be with us for decades, and it must be addressed democratically through legislation if we are to remain free. If it isn't, our legislators will have no one but themselves to blame when the executive goes too far - or not far enough.

Nearly 2-year-old Ahtanaya Wilson doesn't seem to have a care in the world as she rides around the Paiolu Kaiaulu homeless shelter with her parents. But this was not how things were supposed to turn out for the Wilson family.
"We didn't expect any of this. It's been a journey and we want this journey to end. We want our family home," said Tabatha Wilson.
Tabatha and Rodney Wilson moved to Hawaii five months ago, after the health of their youngest daughter Tamiyah started to improve. Tamiyah was born two-and-a-half months premature with heart and lung problems, along with liver disease.
Once they arrived here, Tamiyah's condition got worse. Since November, she has been at the Kapiolani Medical Center.
"We miss our daughter so much. We don't want her in a hospital, we want her to come home," said Tabatha.
Just a month after Tamiyah went back into the hospital, the family was dealt another difficult blow.
"I had a stroke and it canceled all of our plans. I had just got a job and so I couldn't work," said Rodney, who is only 42 years old and now struggling be able to walk again.
His stroke did more than put him in a wheelchair, it also knocked the entire family off their financial and emotional feet.
"I can't stand seeing my wife go through what she has to handle. I'm sick, my daughter is sick. My child is in the hospital and that little girl has been through so much since she was born," said Rodney.
The Wilsons are grateful to have landed at the Waianae Civic Center, a transitional housing facility for the homeless. Now, the three share a 10-by-10 foot room as they miss Tamiyah, who has been steadily improving over the past few months.
"She's ready to come home, but she can't come here," said Tabatha.
Because Tamiyah is medically fragile, catching a simple cold could have serious or even deadly consequences -- she can't stay at the shelter and the family can't afford a place of their own.
Medical problems have damaged the Wilson's credit. Right now, the family struggles just paying for all the gas to get from Waianae to Honolulu to visit their daughter.
Rodney said he hopes to be walking again before May. He felt if someone helped them get into an apartment, they'll be able to afford around $800 to $900 a month for rent. Then their entire family could live together again.
"It has been stressful and overwhelming. It has been a journey. We would like to finally be reunited with our daughter, so we can be at ease," said Tabatha.

There's one big reason to wildly anticipate the sequel to "The Hunger Games." Jennifer Lawrence is now an Oscar winner (for her role in the "Silver Linings Playbook" since the last movie. And, she doesn't disappoint; Lawrence is the reason to see "Catching Fire."
This time, there's more at stake for Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) than losing her life in brutal "Survivor" like games put on by the tyrannical president Coriolanus Snow (Donald Sutherland). Her superstar status has made her a hero among the people of the controlled Districts, and Snow, head of the future state of Panem, isn't taking too kindly to it.
This is one of those sequels that will leave first timers lost if they haven't been clued in to what happened previously – quick Cliff Notes: In a dystopian future where the middle class has ceased to exist, teenagers are forced to battle to their deaths for the television entertainment of the privileged class. But the filmmakers don't pay any mind to those who might be clueless – the ante is upped from the get go so just hold onto your hats. There are times that the 2 ½ hour movie drags a bit, but the surrounding pieces make it so much worth the while that it's never tedious.
Woody Harrelson returns as Haymitch Abernathy, playing a former Games champ who is more washed up and more drunken than ever. The last Games have taken a toll on him, and now he has to train a team again. His character adds to the heightened anxiety that's so pervasive. Liam Hemsworth returns as Katniss's dashing love interest, Gale. Josh Hutcherson is Peeta, the girl's game mate, whom she had to feign a love relationship with so that the games' ratings would soar. This time around, the love affairs have become a tangled web, caught up in real emotion and the upheaval of political turbulence.
The circus atmosphere continues as it did in the first with Elizabeth Banks' Effie, the media trainer for the pair, costumed to the nines by Trish Summerville, who puts her in an Alexander McQueen dress that is to die for. Stanley Tucci's fake teeth are even whiter this time around as he chuckles and chirps as the obnoxious television host Caesar – "don't you just love it!" Lenny Kravitz is also back in his minor role as Katniss's personal fashion designer, Cinna.
The popularity of the first film no doubt made it more attractive to some Hollywood veterans: Philip Seymour Hoffman joins the cast as a new gamemaker, and Jeffrey Wright and Amanda Plummer team up as former Games winners and technical wizards, Beetee and Wiress.
The games are bigger and badder than ever, too -- screaming birds, poison gas and raging baboons. "Catching Fire" is a real sizzler.

Senate to take up change to bill publication
Takes power away from the secretary of state
The Wisconsin state Senate plans to vote on a proposal that takes power away from the secretary of state to delay publishing bills passed by the Legislature.
The Republican-sponsored measure removes the power of the secretary of state to delay by 10 days the time when a bill takes effect.
The procedure came under the spotlight in 2011 when Secretary of State Doug La Follette did not immediately publish the bill effectively ending collective bargaining for public workers.
Under the proposal before the Senate on Tuesday, the Legislative Reference Bureau would be required to publish bills they day after they are signed by the governor. All bills would take effect then, unless otherwise specified.

American Eagle quits mallStaff Report | January 22,2013The Diamond Run Mall has lost another major retailer.
American Eagle Outfitters closed its store Monday after a dozen years at the mall.
"The mall has a low occupancy rate of 60 percent and per our current strategy plan, we seek to return great results to our shareholders and one of those ways is to re-evaluate our store footprint," company spokeswoman Iris Yen said in an email. "We look at closing/moving stores in underperforming locations."
The 19-year-old mall has seen a steady decline in business as one retailer after another has abandoned the area's only indoor shopping center.
Mall owner, Gemini Real Estate Advisors, is surrendering ownership of the property to its major creditor, an investment trust.
Gemini purchased the mall in 2007 from Zamias Services, which was recently hired to oversee management of the 400,000 square-foot mall.

Black gives back: Country star to play charity event
CALIFORNIAN: Black gives back: Country star to play charity event By JIM DAIL - For The Californian | Posted: May 12, 2010
There's no denying that Clint Black has led quite a life and had a great deal of success ---- and not just as a singer.
As for Shriners' Hospital, he has not been that involved with it, but he didn't hesitate to join forces with the hospital. "They gave me a call and that got it going," he said. "What an amazing organization. To think that a million kids have been able to get care. You see the kids get cured, you see that there is a place for the families and no one gets turned away, no matter how much money they have."
"I have thousands of songs, boxes of albums and I'm still always collecting," he said. "The music is so valuable to me. So, what it meant to me I realize, and I realize that some people get the same thing out of my music." In talking to Black it becomes immediately clear that he is quite humble, despite having every reason to not be.
"I had the opportunity to go back to the big labels, but I wanted to have my own label and I'd talked about it a long time," he said. "We found the right guy to run it and so that's where Equity came from."

Jon Bachanov to Have Elbow Ligament Surgery
Joe Torres (left) and Nick Adenhart in August 2004 after their "Tommy John" surgeries.
Buried in an Orange County Register article is this crummy news:
For the second time in the past four years, the Angels drafted a pitcher who needed Tommy John surgery.
When the Angels made Nick Adenhart their 14th-round pick in 2004, they knew the right-hander had damaged the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow and would need surgery. When they made another high school pitcher, Jon Bachanov, their first pick last summer, they didn't realize the right-hander would need surgery.
General Manager Tony Reagins said the team's scouts saw Bachanov pitch late before last summer's draft and had no indication of a problem. But Bachanov threw in workouts for the team shortly after signing his first contract in July and complained of a sore elbow. He was sent to the team's minor-league complex in Arizona to begin a rehabilitation program. When the pain persisted, Bachanov underwent an MRI that revealed ligament damage in the elbow. He had Tommy John surgery in December.
Recovery from the surgery can take 10 months or more. Reagins said there is a possibility Bachanov could be ready to pitch in the fall instructional league. Most likely, he will not throw his first pitch in the Angels' organization until 2009.
Adenhart had his surgery before his 18th birthday in August 2004 and made his minor-league debut in 2005. He has since emerged as the Angels' top pitching prospect. Bachanov turned 19 in January.
The success rate on "Tommy John" surgeries is much higher than a generation ago, but it's still not perfect. For every Nick Adenhart there's a Joe Torres, the Angels' first-round pick in June 2000 (#10 overall). Joe missed part of 2003 and all of 2004 after the surgery, and was never the same. The last I checked, he was knocking around the White Sox system.
I interviewed Jon Bachanov last July in summer league. Click here to listen. You need Windows Media Player.

Estes but not like testes
8/2/09 Our visit to Estes Park
I only worked a half-day on Sunday so I was out of work and home by noon. With Naomi staying with us we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and go on a little road trip.
Estes (Pronounced S-Tes, not like t-estes) Park was our choice for the day :)
Not far from Estes Park is Rocky Mountain National Park. I had heard a rumor that we could enter the park free this weekend.
Unfortunately upon meeting the friendly Park Ranger stationed in his little booth at the entrance to the park, I found out my information about the freebie was incorrect.
I was prepared for the expense and after all was said and done I can tell you it was money well spent. Below are my oldest Naomi, Hunter and Mylee.
This was a little stream we visited on the way to Estes Park.
Some rock climbing.
Hunter and his furry new friend.
Alvin here was cute and way to tame.
We ate our lunch on the side of a huge rock wall. Our choice,….Subway subs from Estes Park where the $5.00 footlong is $6.00.
The subs taste the same but the thin air allows you to swallow more so you feel fuller 🙂
There were several lakes that formed on the side of the mountain. The word shrinkage comes to mind.
When you reach the Visitors Center/Gift shop your almost to the top.
As we neared the stairway I noticed this sign?
No worries, it was beautiful out and all that was left was the short walk up to the peak.
I had to stop twice, the air is really thin up here.
Mylee made it first and she posed after she conquered the mountain.
My clan minus Krista who is taking the picture.
Ruffles aren't the only things that have ridges, these ones are pretty cool.
We spotted several elk on the way back out.
One helluva view.
Another beautiful mountain lake.
Notice all of the brown? That my friends is from a devastating little fu*ker called the Pine Beetle. When the beetles finish their trek through this state it will have a much different appearance.
Remember this movie?
Click this to expand
This is the Stanley Hotel, local folk say it's haunted and it's also where the movie "The Shining" was filmed. Cool place, it's free to visit and worth your time if you're out this way. When we turned onto the dirt road about a 1/4 mile from the cabin we noticed this deer hiding in the woods.
The humming birds are starting to get friendly.
It's not hard to be on top of the world when your family is together and your team has won four in a row.
From the very top of the Colorado Rockies let me just say….

Hey D,
I'm only going to say one thing……………………….. WOW!
Great Pictures……you might e-mail some of them to us with the grandkids in them
What a wonderful day you had with the family! Great pictures! Have you ever thought of a career as a photographer?
JULIA-Thanks, being a professional sports photographer would be a dream come true. My camera is under $400.00 and taking pictures for a living would require thousands in equipment.
Great pics. I love going out and into the mountains. I did that last summer when I went with my family to the White Mountains.
DILLON-Thanks brotha, you have good taste…D
Great pics, D! I love Estes – there's some funky little shops up there – and the park is always awesome; winter or summer. But there is NO WAY I will ever go into that hotel. Freaks me out just looking at it, LOL Cool to see all your kids together! :0)
What beautiful pictures. I can't wait to get out to places like this once I get up there. I leave in two weeks!!
Kylie — http://kylie.mlblogs.com
D- Sweet looking pictures! My friend and I took a trip up to Estes a few months ago and paid a short visit to The Stanley. We also happen to be a big fan of this show called Ghost Hunters, and they went to the Stanley and had all kinds of weird stuff happen to them. Glad you got to spend some time with the family!!
Awesome, awesome photos. I've only just stumbled across them. So cool. I would love to visit that art of the States some day. Ashhttp://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com
Now thats living! Some beautiful pictures of many beautiful things! Congrats on being in the top 10!

LUVMYROX-Visiting the Stanley House in broad daylight is a lot different than spending a night. There's no way in hell I'd spend a night there.
KYLIE-Very cool, Colorado is the best. Maybe I'll see you at a Rockies game??
EMILY-Thanks, you're a rockstar sista!…D
JULIA-Girl you own the top 5. Congrats to you also for # 4. You have been a blogging powerhouse for a while now. That's a testament to your love for your team, your wit, and your ablilty to be creative with your blog. You do a great job.
ASH-Thank you and welcome to the Rant. Your blogging adventure begins from here forward🙂
JOHN-What's up you snaggin superstar? Thank you for the props…D
Dang D,
Make me want to go no out into the Everglades and commune with nature.
That would be a good thing if not for the aligators and 20 foot pythons hidden in the sawgrass. lol
Seriously, that is the kind of trip can can bond you with the kids and make them understand more about this big blue marble.
I am jealous of that trip, it looked like a ton of fun.
That might be one of the greatest reasons to live out there. An hour north you got snow, and hour south you got sand, and everywhere you have views to die for.
But then I am a guy living in a flat state.
Rays Renegade
Yo D-
One thing has become clear…I have to move to Colorado.
Just one request: when I do, you and your posse out @ Coors Field have to give me a little section of those sweet bleachers!
RAYSREN-I've had the same thought the few times I've had a chance to dip my feet in one the oceans or the gulf. We all dream and wish for what we don't have. I long to take a cruise as I've never been on a big boat before.
HAPPY-Gladly brotha, you'd be a great neighbor…D

Idaho women win WAC, advance to NCAA tournament
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - The third-seeded Idaho women's basketball team knocked off a higher seeded team for the second day in a row and clinched its first Western Athletic Conference championship and first NCAA tournament berth since 1985 with a 67-64 win over top-seeded Seattle U on Saturday afternoon.
"Survive and advance has certainly been our motto in this tournament and we did it all the way till the end, and it's a great feeling," Idaho coach Jon Newlee said. "I'm so happy for my players and I'm so happy for my staff. I feel that I have the greatest staff in America and our players have just worked their tails off to get to this moment and it's fantastic, it's a great feeling."
Idaho sophomore Stacey Barr, who had 16 points and 11 rebounds Saturday, was the tournament MVP, while junior Alyssa Charlston, who had 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting, also earned a spot on the all-tournament team.
All three Idaho (17-15) victories during the tournament came by just one possession. The Redhawks (20-10) got two chances at potential game-tying 3-pointers in the final seven seconds, but neither attempt threatened to go in and the Vandal bench stormed the court to celebrate its first conference tournament championship since winning the Big Sky in 1985.
"It was a pretty difficult start to the season, but to our credit we picked it up towards the end of the season and started playing as a team and getting those wins," Barr said, referring to Idaho's 3-9 start to the season. "To go to the tournament is huge and to win this one is unbelievable. There are no words for it."
Idaho trailed by as many as five points in the second half but battled back to build an eight-point lead on two occasions in the final 90 seconds. Seattle U kept the pressure on, however, and forced Idaho into three turnovers in the final 1:06 before the Vandals eventually escaped with the victory.
"What has impressed me about this team all year is its resiliency," Newlee said. "When things start to go a little bad they are digging down. That's something they've learned over the course of the year. Basketball is going to be up and down and it's not going to be perfect. I always tell them that as long as you play as hard as you can all the time, good things are going to happen to you. I'm sure they're going to remember that."
Freshman Ali Forde finished with 11 points, seven rebounds, six blocks, two steals and two assists for the Vandals and fellow freshman Connie Ballestero had 10 points and three assists. Those two, along with freshman Christina Salvatore, have started a combined 78 games this season for Idaho.
"I'm going to tell you, our freshmen, our younger players are very even-keeled on the basketball floor," Newlee said. "I've never seen a younger group that was like that. They don't panic. Very rarely have I seen panic on the faces of our young players."
Seattle U out-rebounded Idaho 52-38 and 25-6 on the offensive end, leading to a 25-8 advantage in second-chance points. The Redhawks also forced Idaho in 18 turnovers, eight more than they gave up, leading to a 19-9 advantage in points off turnovers. The Vandals, however, held Seattle U to 33.8 percent shooting from the field and the Redhawks went just 11-of-24 from the free throw line. Idaho shot 44.2 percent from the field and out-scored Seattle in the paint 34-30.
"When things went a little south there, I told them if you want to win this game then you've got to push back and you've got to rebound," Newlee said. "Every single one of them sat there buying in and said that's what we're going to do. You can see a lot of the numbers aren't in our favor, but ultimately that final number is."
Idaho will learn its NCAA tournament fate during the NCAA women's basketball tournament selection show which begins at 4 p.m. (PT) on March 18. Tickets will be available through the University of Idaho ticket office beginning at 5 p.m. on March 18. Individual tickets will be fulfilled by the Vandal Points priority system. Phone orders will be taken from 5-8 p.m. on March 18, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. the rest of the week.

Dodgers at Coors Field with the Rockies 3 games back
Critical games in Colorado for both teams. With the Dodgers leading the NL West by 3 games and the Rockies leading the Wild Card, this is really a penant race. is time for the Dodgers to put more ground between them and the Rockies.
Dodgers get to visit their old manager Jim Tracy. Jim managed the Dodgers from 2001 to 2005 and won a division title in 2004.
Only four current Dodgers played for Tracy — Weaver, Guillermo Mota, Jonathan Broxton and Hong-Chih Kuo. The latter two played for Tracy only in brief callups.
Going to the Rockies website, I found this
The Rockies' fans' feelings for the Dodgers certainly are strong. After the Rockies' improbable 14-inning, 6-4 victory over the Giants — brought home by Ryan Spilborghs' grand slam — fans broke into a heartfelt "Beat L.A." chant. The Rockies enter Tuesday's opener of a three-game showdown trailing the Dodgers by three games in the National League West. The Rockies have a four-game cushion in the Wild Card standings.
What is the obsession of teams emphasizing the other team instead of their own team? I know, I know, everyone wants to beat L.A. I like Oldbrooklynfan (some might remember him from the article written about him making his first trip to Dodger Stadium) from the ITD blog where he changed that to say Beaten by L.A.
Upcoming Game (08/25)
Clayton Kershaw 8-7
Jason Hammel 8-7
The 9-foot, 6-inch tall statue is entitled "The Player." it was donated by the Rotary club of Denver. It's the same figure that it awarded, in a much smaller size, to the recipient of the Branch Rickey Award, which honors the Major League player who best exemplifies the Rotary's motto of "service over self."
The nominees from each team for 2009 have already been announced. You can check them and also past winners here >>.

EMMA this series will be a nail bitter….OMG…I am already nervous. Well I hope we can sweep the Rockies….and stamp across the team's name (what Oldbrooklyn said) BEATEN BY L.A. I can not believe that the Rockies were chanting last night. LET'S GO DODGERS!
I hope the Dodgers have a successful series in Colorado and can put some distance between the two teams in the standings. It's getting scary! Good luck!
So Emma, who is the statue of? All we can see are the feet. Or is it a generic player, and you were more interested in the Rickey quote?
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I am excited and nervous about the series. I hope the Dodgers take note of what happened last night as no lead is safe in Colorado. Look at last night, the Giants are leading 3-1 in the 14th inning and WAM! grand slam by the Rockies. Go Kershy! Go Dodgers!
Thanks for asking. Yeah, I was more interested in the quote as is from Dodger Branch Rickey. But the 9-foot, 6-inch tall statue is entitled "The Player." it was donated by the Rotary club of Denver. It's the same figure that it awarded, in a much smaller size, to the recipient of the Branch Rickey Award, which honors the Major League player who best exemplifies the Rotary's motto of "service over self."
Sue, Thanks again. I think I will update my post so more people can read about it.
Yeah, is going to be crazy, that is why I am nervous and antious for the game to start.
The NL West is going to go down to the wire just like the AL East and both division wild card racess. Just the way it should be. Have a great time.
It sure is getting scary. Object are closer than what the mirror shows. We got to put more distance in between!
Yeah, the Rockies are really playing well since Jim Tracy took over. I'd like to know what Rockies fans think of Jim.
Well the dodgers thought that playing the D-backs was going to be a safe win, but look at what happen. I have no more nails left….LOL!
The Dodgers are going to make a WS run this year, and with Philadelphia making a move to get Cliff Lee, will have to work twice as hard. I am hoping Emma, I really am!
LOL. My nails are already in terrible shape from the biting. I'll be riding the train then my car that I left in Glendale during part of the game. Scattered t-storms in Denver.
I wish the Dodgers could have gotten Lee.
Great points. I agree that this is the series of the week. I can't believe that with the Dodgers' dominance they could still give the division away to the Rox. However, Colorado has been more than amazing, and that is tough to fend off no matter how good you are. Good luck!
Emma, thanks for the update. I was checking out the list of nominees at the link you provided. Quite a field to choose from! It will be interesting to see who wins it this year.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Emma: I can't believe how close the Rockies are creeping towards the Dodgers! But I'm sure you will win the division without a problem.
You look so cute with your winter Dodger gear. I wouldn't mind having a Yankee poncho like that!
I had trouble loggin on before. I can't believe the Rockies were in last place back at the beginning of June and look where they are now. .
Yeah that is quite an interesting and long list to choose from. As a good Dodger fan I am rooting for Don Newcombe to get it.
Rockies are too close for confort. I can't believe two games for them in extra innings and they take both of them. I thought they were tired! Nail biting time.
I learned something new today courtesy of you.
Never knew Branch Rickey made that great quote. Thank you for that cool insight.
I am thinking that this NL West fight might get some needed toughness after this series with the Rockies.
Both of your squad have done some admirable work this year, and both teams are thirsty for the postseason.
Should be a fun time up until October.
Rays Renegade
I am so glad you learn something new from this site. I did not know that quote until last year when I saw the statue in Denver. I see from the Branchrickey site that Joe Maddon is nominated from the Rays.
Thank you, Emma, for the kind words about my Blog. I am a Dodgers fan and can barely watch this meltdown without losing any hope, but at least in my blog I can write about literary baseball topics when the Dodgers have me feeling a bit "CrazyBlue."
I plan to add you, if you don't mind, to my blog faves when I do my Saturday update. Hopefully it will be an update about a 2 game lead extension and maybe some T.S. Eliot.
~ Will the Smiler
Thanks Will for adding me to your blog! I am honored! Looking forward to your next blog! Great job by the Wolfman! You know his next win will be career #100. Let's hope he gets it in his next start which it should be at home.

Pumps are soooooo expensive! The one my aunt gave me stopped working. I don't know what to do!

But we are far from elite right about nowz. I DONT know wither to blame coach antoni or the softy playaz we got ? Help me out son. NYC REPRESENT.
Right now we are being laugh at ?? not cool man .Not cool
Damn!!!!!!!! we could have won this game .. Why is it that we have to chuck up so many long range shots in the beginning of the game? SMH
And one more thing .. I like how felton plays and all, but ****, he has the court vision of chris duhon some times
But we are far from elite right about nowz. I DONT know wither to blame coach antoni or the softy playaz we got ? Help me out son. NYC REPRESENT.
Right now we are being laugh at ?? not cool man .Not cool
Rebounding was awful once again
Every single game our rebounding is bad, I'll once again ask why we're not putting Anthony Randolph in there
Sorry guys I didn't chime in. Just really disappointed with the effort of some players. If we traded Chandler and Amar'e was hurt, the score would had been 123-65
BUT Charley is right about 1 thing. AMAR'E NEEDZ TO REBOUNB BETTER MAN.
In truth we didn't really look that terrible. We had a flat 2nd quarter but came within 2 points of taking the lead.
If we just had ONE person on the team who could rebound well, then we'd be OK. If Mozgov or Randolph played to their ability then we'd be fine - think about it, we got massacred on the rebounding front. If we grab 5 or 6 more rebounds than what we had tonight (taking away 5 or 6 of their offensive rebounds) then the game is pretty close if we make half of those shots.
Gallinari actually played OK tonight - 10 points on just 5 shots is impressive, he just doesn't get a whole lot of shots. Felton took way too many tonight, 7 3's...22 FGA, only 6 FG...that's probably what killed us.
And yeah. Felton thought he waz D.rose Taking all them shotz..lmao He can be good .But not that good.
Really. Our only hope to steal a win against a top-4 team in either conf is to let it rain... We need to score 110 points and nail about 8-15 3-point shots.
The biggest issue is this: Against GOOD teams, you aren't really going to have a large led in the 4th.... AND, when the game shortens up... gets tight... is close late... good teams will score at will against us. We allow HIGH pct shots, and barely even contest a 5-foot shot. MEANHWILE, on offense we fall into the trap of chucking 3s. Last night was perfect example. We worked hard, got close only to halt any off. rhythm by shooting the 3. MOstly, we were bricking them. SO, all the hard work goes for naught, as ORL was dominated the glass.
ALSO, our free throw shooting in the 4th quarter is sub par. Last night, we missed FIVE of them (Felton, Amar'e, Chandler, Gallo) all clanked ket free throws. We were down with 90 seconds to go.... Those missed 5 points were huge.
We are one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA. We made Redick look like Wade and Anderson look like Steve Kerr. At one point, Amar'e didn;t even both to put his body on Dwight (BOX OUT).
LOOK at the shot chart from the 4th quarter. ALmost ALL of our attempts our from 18, 20, 27 feet.
Do the MATH.
ORL is getting in the paint for layups and dunks. We are shooting 3s.
Same with MIA and BOS and ATL. We can't beat those teams (0-6) b/c we're not god enough to blow them out, and our style is not conducive to winning close games b/c we can't buy a stop and certainly not prolithic enough to score at will.
Well, I guess not horrible. He had his moments at times doubling down on Howard. I thought he had 1 assist (box score disagrees) when he drove and dished out for a 3. Still FIVE shots? He either takes 10 3s or 0? Huh.
And, to be honest, his technical shot means he scored 9 points really. And like 5 of them came in one 30 second spurt in the 3rd quarter.
And this is where I fault Dant or Felton. Gallo suddenly went bonkers and hit a shot, was fed for a dunk and seemed poised to explode and have on of those Gallo moments where he goes off for 17 points or something....
BUt, Felton and Chandler decided to chuck up 3s instead of getting the ball into the "hot" hand.
Missed opportunity there.
BUT, Gallo needs to play with that sense of urgency ALL GAME.
Still, nobody was worse than Fields and Gallo. Fields was a non-factor for 28 minutes. Douglas terrible for 19 of the 20 minutes he played.
It's hard playing Fields-Gallo together b/c you're getting nothing from your SG/SF duo. That's rough for us since we rely on 2 PFs (Amar'e & Chandler) with Felton. NO true center, and no SG or SF scoring easy buckets.... OUCH!
This was my first time watching the Magic after their trade with
Phoenix/Washington.....the Magic 4-Guard rotation with the huge boost
from Point-foward Turk on offense/defense showed they are Eastern
Conference Finals bound. It should be illegal to have all 4 of those guards on
one team (each one out-witted Felton's performance throughout 4 qtrs.).
The way Orlando's guards played us tonight, by April/May they will give
Miami's D.Wade all kinds of problems in a playoff series.
After headcoach SVG bashing of Walsh/Dantoni two years ago, each game since
then coach SVG made it personal vs coach Dantoni.
The Magic is the last team the Knicks want to meet in the first round of the playoffs.
P.S. The Knicks played a decent game vs Magic, but the Magic veteran
Guards chemistry made Fields into a rookie, Douglas into a 2nd season player,
and Felton into a decent 13 pt, 6 ast PG.
D.Howard is still the NBA top center to reckon with.
The Magic 8-Man rotation all scored in double figures, and the Knicks 7-Man
rotation was short in so many areas.
We could/should have won that game. The main reason we lost is because the refs called every foul under the sun on Amare and pretty much kept him out of the game. I don't know how many times the announcers even mentioned the refs bad performance last night...Crazy. We also missed too many foul shots down the stretch and failed to follow our shots like always. We can easily beat them next time we play if they don't have the refs in their back pocket again and we hit some of our free throws down the stretch.
Yes there were bad calls in the game, but some went our way 2.
I hate when we lose games people blame it on the refs.It wasn't there fault
nobody boxes out to grab defensive rebounds instead standing around and letting Dwight take it from them. Then pile on the crap play of everyone besides Amar'e and Wilson and you have another loss. Don't be fooled by the final score and the comeback. The Knicks do this almost everygame against a good team. Why? Because they go through a mental lapse and NY gets aggressive and gets momentum in their favor. There is no way you should fall down by 20+ points in consecutive games and expect to win, especially on the road.
Just my thoughts though.
Although he has a more than reasonable amount of assists and has had several terrific games, Felton shoots the ball too much and does not distribute other than to Amare. He took 22 shots last night and only hit six of them. Williams was 5 for 7. Feed the guy who is hot!! Fields took only 3 shots and Gallo -- who is supposed to be a shooter -- took only 5.
Gallo must get both stronger and more assertive. He is too damn tentative and timid. He played over 40 minutes and took only 5 shots. That cannot be all Felton's fault. The "****" has got to grow a pair.
Thank God for Wilson. He is getting better and better. He does not get a lot of help from Felton or Douglas, but he can create his own shots. Gallo still has potential, but so far this year he has been a major disappointment. Although his defense has shown improvement, he looked better last year offensively.

Cortisone shots are injections that help relieve pain and inflammation. They are injected directly into the joints such as the ankle, wrist, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow or spine. These injections are a combination of corticosteroids and local anaesthetics. These corticosteroids are similar to the hormones produced by the adrenal gland. Cortisone injections are often used to treat arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, shoulder bursitis and plantar fasciitis. Though they do not cure the disease but they provide temporary relief.
These injections may be slightly painful but provide relief in a day or two that lasts for a few weeks or months at a stretch. Hence, cortisone shots provide relief faster and have longer lasting results than other forms of anti-inflammatory medication. Another benefit of cortisone injections as compared to other drugs that need to be taken in through the mouth is that it avoids side effects of anti-inflammatory medication such as an upset stomach etc. Cortisone injections can also be used to treat backaches and pain that radiates from the spine to an arm or leg.
However, cortisone injections are associated with a number of risks. These include:
- Infection in the joints
- Nerve damage
- Thinning of tissue and skin around the injection site
- Pain and inflammation in the joint
- Weakening or rupturing of tendons
- Osteoporosis or thinning of bones
- Lightening of skin around the injection site
- Osteonecrosis or death of bones in the injected area
- Blood sugar spikes – this is seen mostly in diabetic patients
- Weakening of the immune system if the person has an underlying infection
In most cases, these side effects are short-lived. Higher dosages and frequent administration can increase the body's exposure to the corticosteroid. This increases the risk of long-term side effects such as:
- Acne
- Easy bruising
- Weight gain
- Cataract formation
- Puffiness of the face
- High blood pressure
Cortisone may also be held responsible for the deterioration of cartilage inside a joint. For this reason, doctors do not advise cortisone injections to be had more than 3-4 times a year. The minimum interval between two cortisone injections must be 6 weeks. Doctors also typically limit the number of injections given in one joint.
When used judiciously, cortisone injections can greatly improve the quality of a patient's life. Hence it is very important to get treated only by a qualified doctor and to completely understand the pros and cons of using this form of treatment.
Keep Your Bones Strong.
Calcium and vitamin D can help you do that. Dairy products are the best sources of calcium, but other options are green, leafy vegetables like broccoli and kale. If you don't get enough calcium from food, ask your doctor about supplements.
Early morning yoga, jogging/walking will reduce fibromyalgia symptoms irrespective of age. For severe pain, pain management specialist will give medicine or nerve blocks to relieve them.
Lumbar disc prolapse causes severe back pain and radiates down to one or both legs below the knee. MRI shows exact problem. After basic pain killers - rest for a week, do some physiotherapy if pain persists, a pain management specialist is needed. He will see the possibility of a root block at the nerve affected by disc prolapse. If severe degree of prolapse, endoscopic discectomy under local anesthesia is best as a day care and minimally invasive procedure.The patient usually is discharged in 12-24 hrs.
The human body, a product of millions of years of evolution was built for movement, for activity, speed and precision. However, over the last few centuries, civilization has made our requirements to move much less than it was necessary for our ancestors. Our body is the same as it was millions of years ago, but the modifications in our lifestyle devoid of any physical activity has taken their toll. This is leading to increased incidents of back pain because of abnormal stresses on our spine. Back pain is an affliction which affects about 80% of population at one point or another in their lifetime and sadly the indications are that the incidents keep rising.With advanced technology, fewer physical complaints were to be expected, but this is not so. In fact, even today primitive races like aborigines in Australia suffer far less from back pain then, the so - called civilized races. Therefore, greater mobility and physical fitness is the hall mark in preventing back problems. There are over 100 expected causes of low back pain and many more incidents where the cause cannot be found out. But the most common cause of back pain is the wear and tear of the structures constituting the spine and this is mostly due to abnormal use of back and poor posture.The information given below helps to prevent and reduce the incidents of back pain.
Good posture - The most important way to prevent back aches, good posture, can be defined as any position which allows good use of the body for a specific task and is comfortable for as long as the position is held. Even though bad posture may not cause any discomfort, continuous poor posture will result in long term cause .
Back Posture in standing - Stay slim so that abnormal forces are not put on the spine. If you stand or walk a lot, low heeled shoes are necessary to maintain the proper curve at the small of your back.
Sitting - Choose a chair of the correct height. Feet should be supported on the floor comfortably and should not be dangling. Sit in a chair with proper support for the normal curves of your back. Choose a chair with arm rests. The arm rests should not be too high or low. Reading stance or computer monitor should be at such a height that you do not have to bend to the front or sidevise to do your work.
Lying - The bed should be firm with good mattress and not swinging or slouching because that will spoil the normal curve of the back. Use a single good pillow. It does not matter whether you lie on your back while sleeping or on your side. Sometimes it is comfortable for the back to put a pillow below the knees while lying down.
Driving - Driving seat should support the back properly. If there is a gap in between two back and the seat, it should be filled with small cushion or one can use a back rest. Seated properly, your knee should be higher than your hips. If your job demands long hours of driving on a regular basis, then it is a good idea to break the journey after half an hour to one hour drive, take a little exercise to relieve the stress and restart driving. When getting out of the car, swivel your whole body towards the door rather than suddenly jerking it. Slide your feet on to the ground and then get out.
Lifting - One should follow the principles underlined below: As you approach, relax your knees. Lowering movement should start at the knees and not at the head. After bending your knee get close to the object to be lifted ; almost sit down on the floor keeping the feet apart. One foot should be a little ahead of the other .Lift the object gradually, smoothly and without jerking, keeping the object close to the body and keeping the back straight although not necessarily vertical. Gradually get up without twisting the back, if the load is too heavy get help Pulling or pushing -When pulling or pushing any object - keep the back straight, bend at the hips and knees using your legs rather than your arms or back. Pushing is easier on your back than pulling, so push it if you have a choice.
Fitness -If you are not fit then you are much more likely to damage your back as it will not be as flexible as it should be.
Mobility - Good posture is not possible without a mobile spine and muscle tone. Joints must be moved to keep them. Mobile and the muscles, both the abdominal and back must be used to keep them strong. Back exercises if done once a day, will maintain essential flexibility of the spine and the necessary muscle strength to help to prevent injury.
