Note: The average Myspace Users has an IQ of 115. Are you smarter than that? Take this IQ test and find out!
MySpace is the most popular social networking service (SNS) out there, with over 100 million user accounts and over 80% of SNS activity on the net. It's also consistently ranked as one of the top 10 most-visited websites in the entire world by Alexa. Most people with two-thirds of a brain can figure out that MySpace sucks as soon as they log into the site for the first time, yet it continues to maintain its popularity. If you have a friend who likes to use MySpace, please refer them to this handy list of reasons why MySpace Sucks:
1. It is full of thousands upon thousands of spammer user accounts: If you use MySpace, you're probably aware of the fact that you get a lot of friend requests from random people and music groups you've never met or heard of. This is because thousands of YouTube user accounts are maintained by spammers who use friend-adding programs to automatically add as many friends as possible. When they get thousands of friends, they post spam bulletins advertising stuff. MySpace has failed to take appropriate action to curb this massive abuse.
2. The site is slow: Anyone trying to use the site can expect a lot of messages such as "Server Too Busy," "Sorry! an unexpected error has occurred. This error has been forwarded to MySpace's technical group," and so on. This is because MySpace's servers are not powerful enough to host the traffic the site gets. Those spam bots use up a lot of site resources!
3. User-created profile pages look terrible and cause technical errors: Customizable profile pages are a nice thing, but when you allow customization to the point of having users completely f*ck up the appearance of pages and crash the browsers of those visiting profiles, your site sucks.
4. It is full of spyware: Industry experts have warned that MySpace is a "hotbed" for spyware and other malicious programs that can infect your computer.
5. It lets users crap-up their profiles with tons of videos and music: Nobody wants to see your favorite 20 music videos or listen to your terrible band's music.
6. "Celebrity" user accounts: There are thousands of fake celebrity user accounts set up by their fans on MySpace. Why do people actually add these idiotic accounts to their friend lists? Is there something amusing about this? Frankly, it sucks.
7. Ugly advertisements everywhere: I guess if you're already allowing users to make hideously ugly and broken profile pages, throwing hideously ugly and distracting ads all over your site isn't a problem either.
8. There is no useful search feature: Want to search for your friends? People in your area? People with similar interests? Good luck with that: MySpace's search tools are absolutely horrible.
9. Security flaws: MySpace has already proven itself extremely vulnerable to hacking, with the most famous case being one last year in which a worm turned thousands of user profiles into redirect links to a 9/11 conspiracy page. It may have not been extremely dangerous, but next time it could be…
10. Bulletins: This useful feature allows users to have their inboxes spammed with thousands of retarded chain letters and ads for bands. Amazing!
11. It is a haven for child molesters and pedophiles.
12. They are anti-human rights: MySpace recently launched a Chinese version of their site, readily agreeing to restrict users from seeing the truth about the Chinese regime's crimes. Censored/Restricted topics include: religion, politics, Taiwanese independence, the Dalai Lama, and persecution of Falun Gong members.
13. MySpace is owned by NewsCorp: Rupert Murdoch's evil corporation, which runs Fox News, also owns MySpace.
14. MySpace censors your political opinions: Those who go against the wishes of News Corp/ Fox News better watch out: it is well known that MySpace censors links.
15. MySpace users are stupid: If the ugly user-created profile pages, blogs full of idiotic and poorly-written crap, and terrible user bands aren't enough to convince you that most of MySpace's users are stupid, you can also see this study that shows they are statistically less-educated than users of other social networking sites.
16. MySpace is UGLY!!! I mentioned user-created pages earlier, but even the part of the site that isn't user profiles looks terrible. [Computer geeks can also tell you that the code under the surface of the site itself is also ugly.]


text: I apologize for this long post. I'm wondering if anyone can help with my on going saga. About six weeks ago my daughter (then five weeks old) started spitting up excessively - really throwing up with that smell and all. After it happened for a day or so i went to the ped and she had lost 4oz from the week before and there was blood in her stool (she has been in the 80th + percentile in weight since she was a week old). The doc suggested a food allergy and took me off dairy, eggs, corn, tomatoes, nuts, and other gassy foods. The next week it was even worse, so they put her on Zantac (which seemed to help for a few days and then stopped). Each week I brought in a stool sample to be tested for blood and if none was present, I added back a food to my diet. For three weeks there was no blood and her symptoms seemed ok, somedays great others really bad. On the bad days, she would fuss while eating and pull herself off my breast while crying and at the same time signaling that she still wanted to eat, but wouldn't latch on. Sometimes her vomit seemed a bit projectile and she suffered from bad gas. At this point, I emailed a La Leche League volunteer as I didn't know what to do. She was amazingly helpful and suggested I had a over supply issue, a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance and a forceful let down. After reading about this, I realized that she was right. I had thought some of this was just normal - silly me. She had all the symptoms (but not the green bowel movement). So for the past two weeks, I've been trying to fix this issue. It has been difficult as some nights she is waking up every two hours to eat, others she sleeps for two five hour periods. Some days she eats like shes going through a growth spurt, others not as much. Last week, it got really bad again (without my diet changing). I was so frustrated that I took her to a pediatric chiropractor who performed an allergy test and told me my daughter was allergic to my breast milk, but she could fix it. That night we weighed my daughter and thought that she had not gained any weight in a week, so we called the ped who told us to bring her in. We went saturday. She had in fact gained 6 oz in 8 days - our scale at home must have been wrong. But again, there was blood present in her stool. It was only a very small amount, but it hadn't been there in four weeks. The ped told us too that she was allergic to my milk. He told us it was minor and that I could continue breast feeding, but that she needed to go on hypoallergenic formula for five days so her tummy could heal and then we'd go back to breast feeding as she is gaining weight and a very happy baby. I was devastated that i had to stop breast feeding (I cried in his office), but as it was only for 5 days i was willing if it would help her. In 11 weeks I had only ever given her breast milk, so she absolutely refused to drink the formula. We tried to get her to drink it for five hours and then gave in and breast fed. The last two days, I've been crazy about controlling my flow and making sure she is not getting a deluge of fore milk. But my breasts continue to spray out of control on let down - even the second and third time. I have read everything possible on the topic and have tried all suggestions and do not know what to do? Also, could her breast milk 'allergy' be a foremilk/hind milk imbalance? Any thoughts or suggestions? I feel awful that eating has been so unpleasant for her. I just want to fix this mess. I was thinking of calling a pediatric GI doc today? Also, will this issue pass or will my daugther grow out of it? Lastly, (and not at all important) how do I add a pic to my profile? I think all of yours are so beautiful! Any advice is very much appreciated. Sorry again for the long mail.

Martinsburg proactive with bridges
MARTINSBURG – There are five bridges in the City of Martinsburg's street system: the sewer treatment plant bridge off East John Street; Oak Street bridge; East Burke Street bridge; East John Street bridge; and Old Mill bridge, all of which span the Tuscarora Creek.
Being in its street system, the city is responsible for maintaining those bridges and replacing them if necessary. However, the West Virginia Division of Highways inspects the bridges every two years and reports the findings to the city.
The East John Street bridge was replaced in 2005 at a cost of $128,400, City Manager Mark Baldwin said during a recent interview. He said the city used Community Development Block Grant funds for the project.
The 2010 East Burke Street bridge inspection rated the overall physical condition of the limestone arch and integrated concrete bridge as poor and in need of renovations.
While it carries about 5,700 vehicles a day on average, most motorists do not realize they are crossing a bridge. It is tucked snugly against the East Burke Street railroad overpass and does not look like a bridge.
The estimated cost of the renovations is $500,000, Baldwin said.
He learned of a state program that would help pay for the renovations. The state program would contribute 80 percent and the city had to contribute 20 percent.
"Obviously without the program, the city would be responsible for the full cost," Baldwin said. "And DOH will oversee the entire project, do the planning, engineering, construction. Without the program, we'd have to request bids, review bids, interview engineers and construction companies, manage the construction. It's a great program."
Planning and engineering, and acquisitions of rights of way for the renovations of the East Burke Street bridge are scheduled for 2014 and construction is scheduled for 2015.
Oak Street bridge probably is in the worst condition of Martinsburg's five bridges, Baldwin said.
It was last inspected in 2011 and was rated poorly.
"A couple years ago, DOH recommended restricting the weight limit in excess of five tons," Baldwin said. "DOH might recommend closing it to traffic."
Oak Street is off East John Street, leading to a residential neighborhood and the Oak Street Park.
Baldwin inquired again if the state bridge program still had funding available. He was assured it did. The city applied for financial assistance to replace the Oak Street bridge and is awaiting an agreement, he said.
"Council discussed whether we should replace it or close it," Baldwin said. "They felt there was enough traffic (about 250 cars a day) to replace it and police, fire and EMS need two access points to that neighborhood."
The very preliminary estimate to replace the bridge is about $1.2 million, he said.
"An entirely different type of bridge, an entirely different design would have to be installed. That's why the estimate is so high," Baldwin said.
The existing bridge is a low-water bridge that is prone to flooding. A wider, longer, higher structure is needed at that site.
The Old Mill and sewer plant bridges are not in bad shape, Baldwin said. Inspections will continue and those bridges will be monitored.
"The city is being proactive – we're ultimately responsible," Baldwin said. "The state bridge program is a great opportunity and we have had great relations with DOH on other projects."

There's a lot of law-breaking going on in the aptly titled "Lawless," and not only by a trio of brothers running a Prohibition-era moonshine trade.
Worst of them all, in fact, is Special Deputy Charlie Rakes, a vile government agent who easily ranks among the scariest bad guys on the screen this year -- not only for his cruel demeanor, but also for the fact that he could not care less about being an officer whose job is to protect people. Expertly played by acclaimed actor Guy Pearce, Rakes is a lawless law enforcement officer whose sole existence is to intimidate, extort and hold sway over law breakers for personal gain.
"There's a twisted sense of morality where he's supposed to be on the side of the law, but he's consequently using that to his benefit," Pearce told me in recent interview. "His view of the world is criminal, really. The majority of people who join law enforcement are doing it for good, moral reasons, but then there are the few who get through, where you go, 'Whoa, hold on a second. What's this guy doing here?'"
Opening in theaters Wednesday nationwide, "Lawless" is based on "The Wettest County in the World," the bestselling novel by Matt Bondurant, whose grandfathers and grand-uncles ran a massive moonshine operation in the mountains of southern Virginia. Directed by John Hillcoat, "Lawless" stars Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf and Jason Clarke as the Bondurant brothers, as well as Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska and Gary Oldman.
While the Bondurants were based on real-life brothers, Pearce said Rakes came mostly from the imagination of the film's screenwriter Nick Cave.
"Charlie came from Nick Cave's head and is really the greatest difference between the script and the book.
He's referenced in the book and obviously had a big effect on their lives, but he doesn't quite have the personality in the book that Charlie Rakes in the film does," Pearce explained. "Nick and John Hillcoat really wanted to create somebody from the outside who comes in bringing a very particular attitude that enables the audience to feel this bond between the brothers and the townsfolk as family. When Charlie comes in, he looks at them as folks to be squashed. "
Pearce said it was important to him that Cave -- a noted musician who also collaborated with him and Hillcoat on the 2005 crime drama "The Proposition" -- painted a clear picture of who Rakes was in the script.
"I feel I do my best work when it's all there on the page, and I feel that the character is very vivid as I read the
script and I'm not having to create stuff and trying to cobble together something. If I have to do that, then I don't entirely trust what I'm doing," Pearce said. "If I feel like somebody has handed me a wonderful description of somebody, and I go, 'Ah ha. I know exactly what you're talking about,' then I'm off and running."
Ultimately, Pearce said the wrinkles he added to the character were few.
"There were certain elements that I added, like this big, giant part down the middle of his hair, but the script said that he was quite fixated on dying his hair black every couple of days, and that he had a very big ego and vanity about him -- and a real disdain for people around him," Pearce added. "I really got the sense about him that you could almost smell a bad smell about this guy constantly."
The Studio Quandary
Distributed by indie film champion The Weinstein Co., "Lawless" is being released on the heels of LaBeouf's highly publicized rant about his ill-will for the studio system, and how he plans on working exclusively in independent films from now on.
While not as vocal about the creative difficulties of working within the studio system, Pearce, 44, acknowledged that there's a distinct difference between studio and independent films.
"I won't generalize, because there are some classic, brilliant studio films that have been made in the past, but I think for the most part, there is too much committee filmmaking going on, and I think that's the problem," Pearce observed. "They employ a director, and the director says, 'I'm going to do this,' and they'll say, 'Yep, great, you made that last independent film and it was fantastic. By all means go and do that.' But when the director starts making it, a guy will step in and say, 'Well, I'm not so sure about this, and we might lose $20 million if you do that,' so you end up cutting corners, and things become safe."
"When it's all done by committee, it doesn't feel as organic," Pearce added. "It seems like artistry isn't as respected as when you do an independent film."
That's not to say Pearce doesn't believe artistry can't exist on the studio level. You just need to find work with directors who have an enormous amount of clout, like Ridley Scott (whom the actor just worked with on "Prometheus") and Pearce's former "Memento" director Christopher Nolan -- who avoided being overlorded on "Inception" and "The Dark Knight Rises" after he delivered "The Dark Knight."
"If you work with a director who has great strengths and great power -- or maybe if you work with a director who doesn't have a lot of experience but has a very clear vision and a great ability to articulate what he wants -- then he'll get to make a great film," Pearce said. "There have been great directors who have made great studio films, but have had to really stand their ground. Some people have a stronger personality to do with that stuff than others."
On the personal level, Pearce, who mostly does independent films, said he'll be happy to work in both the indie and studio worlds as long as he can feel that very sense of direction.
"I think the difficulty for me, personally, in working in the studio system is that you're never quite sure who's in charge, so you're never quite get a clear picture of what it is you're doing and you really struggle to know what movie it is you're in," Pearce said. "I'm the kind of actor who really needs to feel a solid ground, and I really need to know where the boundaries are and where. I need to trust -- and feel trusted by -- the director."

Gift to Brooks College creates professorship
Posted on September 18, 2013
Some may consider civil discourse a lost art in today's world, but longtime Grand Valley supporters Shelley Padnos and Carol Sarosik want students to understand it and have the skills to bring divergent views to the table with respect.
The couple gave a gift to the Brooks College of Interdisciplinary Studies to create the Padnos/Sarosik Endowed Professorship of Civil Discourse. Padnos chairs Grand Valley's Board of Trustees.
Anne Hiskes, dean of Brooks College, is leading a search for the first professor. Duties will begin in the winter semester with planning for a fall 2014 course; the professor can serve up to two years.
Any tenured, tenure-track, affiliate or visiting faculty member from any Grand Valley college or department can apply; applications are due by October 18. The selected professor is expected to plan a course for the fall semester and organize a public symposium on civil discourse, among other requirements.
Hiskes said Brooks College is the perfect home for the professorship.
"Our faculty members are known for connecting the classroom and the community," she said. "We have many service-learning opportunities that integrate real-world concerns. Interdisciplinarity, in its nature, requires understanding and integrating different perspectives."
Hiskes added that over time, through curricular development and faculty professional development, this program will build institutional capacity to strengthen Grand Valley as a center of excellence in promoting civil discourse.
A kick-off event will be held November 20 to introduce the first person to hold this position. The keynote speaker will be Jack Lessenberry, veteran newspaper journalist and Michigan Radio contributor.
Hiskes worked with an advisory board of faculty and staff members and community members to create criteria for the professorship. Community members are George Heartwell, Grand Rapids mayor; Paul Keep, executive editor for print, MLive Media Group; Brent Slay, board member for Founders Bank and Trust; and Miriam Aukerman, staff attorney, West Michigan Regional ACLU.
Information about the professorship is online at www.gvsu.edu/cois. Application materials can be sent via email to email@example.com. Questions can be directed to Hiskes at email@example.com.

Yamaha - Play the piano keys on the screen to search for music
Hey, what was that song called again? Here's a great tool to use during Karaoke.
When you cannot remember the title of a song in your head, the free iPhone/iPod touch application Hiichao Kensaku, just released today by Yamaha, could be helpful.
By playing a minimum of 4 tones on the piano keys displayed on the screen, the application will provide you with search results. After 5 tones, it will start narrowing the search and help you to find the song in your mind easily.

In the face of shifting consumer needs and a rocky casual-dining climate, many full-service restaurants are creating fast-casual spinoffs or experimenting with fast-casual service styles. While the move isn't exactly new — many restaurant chains began heavy efforts around 2010 — it is an increasingly used strategy, especially by brands looking to gain incremental traffic, reach a new customer base or reduce the costs of development and labor. According Chris Miller, ...

ETFs show their stuff with impressive 5-year returns
- 12:29 pm Wednesday, March 12th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
These five-year birthday celebrations for a bull stock market really get to me. Why? Well, if I'm celebrating my 5th birthday, there is more than a reasonable chance that I'll have a 6th, 7th and dozens more yearly birthdays going forward. Not so for stock market returns where the bulls and the bears battle it out year in and year out in hopes of gaining some modicum of bragging rights—like a 5-year celebration.
Now that that's off my chest, five years is a reasonable amount of time to look back and review how one's investments have performed.

Highland receives first WTC artifact
The project will feature a story board where people can share their memories and thoughts. Boyar relayed several of his own, including an account of a family friend who was a firefighter lieutenant. Although off-duty that day, Boyar's friend headed for the site to help, even commandeering a grocery truck to get to the scene. Once there, he borrowed turnout gear and was seen at the collapse of the first building and later seen helping people get out of the second tower, which collapsed on him. "That's why we build a monument," said Boyar. "We all have our reasons. This is going to be a people's project where we tell our stories."
Boyar said the town is really coming together around the project and encouraged everyone to get involved. "We'll need lots of help, so let us know what you can do." Contact Boyar at 845/557-8901 for more information. Visit

Overseeing box office operations is Myrle Bongiovanni, fine arts manager. "The opportunities for these students have grown tremendously," she says. "They interact with people from all walks of life and deal with stressful situations. There might be 20 people waiting in line and they learn not to be frantic but to keep everything under control. And I let them handle as much as they can because customer service is a big part of the experience."
Bongiovanni adds it was the students who "saved the day" during the fast-paced learning curve the fine arts staff experienced opening three new venues. "We were so overwhelmed last year and our students were lifesavers—and they continue to be."
Among the most well-rounded students is Grebner, who has manned the box office, planned special events and scheduled ushers in addition to providing hospitality for performers. Grebner, along with Sal Garza '12 and Adrian Rivera '11, has made unplanned excursions to fill performers' last-minute requests for Starbucks beverages, a birthday cake, sugar and manila envelopes—to name just a few.
"I've had a lot of fun backstage with some groups, like the Harlem Gospel Choir, while occasionally someone is more demanding," says Grebner, who is majoring in theatre and business management for a career in fine arts management and development.
Lights, sound, action
About 40 students work in technical theatre under the supervision of Kyle Gettelman, technical director and scenic studio manager. With events going on simultaneously in different campus venues, seven days a week, morning through late evening, qualified student workers have become critical to smooth operations.
"Even though the technical department is a non-academic area, our goal is to educate students, provide professional experiences and draw on their abilities to assist us," Gettelman says. "Our goal is to eventually have 25 to 30 highly skilled technicians. Whether they are theatre majors or not, these opportunities definitely allow students to build their résumés."
Gettelman is overseeing a training program that requires students to become certified at increasingly more skilled levels. For example, the first level qualifies students to work alone setting up for small lectures, which includes handling sound, stage equipment and lighting. With enough training, students can become a manager, like Nicole LeDonne '12, who is already student manager of staging and rigging.
"When a show comes to Pfeiffer, it's my job to figure out how to hang the lighting on the rigging using the fly system," says LeDonne, a theatre major who works as many as 25 to 30 hours a week at times. She wants to eventually travel with a professional theatre group to handle lighting. And she's already designed the lighting for some North Central theatre productions, like "The Dixie Swim Club."
With theatre experience dating back to her middle school years, LeDonne was accepted into DePaul University's competitive stage management conservatory program but opted for North Central instead, and says the support for her talents has been extensive. She also wanted a more well-rounded liberal arts experience. "I love to travel and in a conservatory, you don't do anything else but theatre. I've already been to Europe twice and I'm studying abroad in Australia next year."
Theatre major Heather Motz '13 (right) already knows she wants to pursue a career in sound design and is combining experiences with the technical crew and the College's theatre productions to make that happen. Carin Silkaitis, assistant professor of theatre and theatre program coordinator, watched Motz demonstrate her skills at the New Student Showcase during winter term and then asked her to design the sound for her production of "Never the Sinner."
"The sets are very minimal so I'm creating the environment with sounds, which takes a lot of time and effort to find or create the right effects," explains Motz. "But this is why I'm here and this is what I'd love to do as a career."

Notre Dame senior and former Punahou football star Manti Te'o won the 2012 Butkus Award for the best linebacker in collegiate football Monday.
The Butkus Award is one of the elite individual honors in college football, according to its website.
The announcement came in a surprise telephone call by legendary linebacker and award namesake Dick Butkus and his son Matt.
A presentation is planned for Dec. 17 on the Notre Dame campus as part of an "I Play Clean" workshop series.
Te'o was selected by a panel of 51 coaches, recruiters, scouts and journalists coordinated by Pro Football Weekly. In addition to making 103 tackles, seven interceptions and a fumble recovery, Te'o led a stout Notre Dame defense that surrendered just 10.3 points a game during the regular season. Notre Dame will play Alabama Jan. 7, 2013, for the BCS National Championship.
"Manti Te'o embodies the toughness, intensity, competitiveness and on-field demeanor of a throwback performer like Dick Butkus himself," said Hub Arkush of Pro Football Weekly. "Te'o was the first ever High School Butkus winner (2008), and he has lived up to all the expectations and positioned his team for a chance at the national championship. He has been an inspiration to his team and community, and has serves as a model citizen."
Te'o finished with 83 points in the Butkus Award voting system. Finishing second was Jarvis Jones of Georgia (54 points) and third was C.J. Mosley of Alabama (21 points). Kevin Minter of LSU and Dion Jordan of Oregon were tied for fourth.

Recently, at her one-year check-up, the doctor asked if DD was feeding herself and I said yes--but she uses her hands. Later, I was reading over a handout the pediatrician had given to me and it said that babies this age should be encouraged to use cutlery. I was curious when your LOs started using cutlery and in what capacity. DD can eat sticky oatmeal with a spoon, if I put the oatmeal on the spoon first, but that's about it. She can also eat things speared with a fork, but is there a reason this is important to encourage? I mean, is this helpful for her development in some way (versus using her fingers)?

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Who do you think is stronger? I give the edge to Mihawk.
DoFlamingo for me
Mihawk-hes just a beast
Thats a tough one. I say Mihawk because Dofalamingo's powers wont work on people with really strong haki and willpower.
I say Donflamingo...I feel Mihawk is one of those people who are strong, but he doesn't sit at the top. He seems like someone who is content where he is, and at the same time no one has a grudge or reason to displace him (of course aside from his title by Zoro).
Mihawk, a man that fights against shanks and has his respect, and he's just a beast.
In a guessing game I would go with my boy Dofla.
Mihawk was the best troll out of both of them.
I'm picking Mihawk because i like him + in my opinion i believe he is stronger
wat does doflamingo do..just control people?
Miwahk has skill and is feared because of his mad-a$$ blade ( one of the 7 special blades at that aha )
Mihawk would slice his ass
-strongest swordsman in the world
-used to contend with the great shanks
It would be a close match, but Mihawk comes out victorious in this one.
draw for me.. both of them kicked ass in the war, though im only at ep 486 currently.

Doflamingo doesn't just control people. Many seemed to have missed but Doflamingo is actually the spiderman of One Piece (look when he grappled a rock to escape Oars in Marineford and flew away)
plus he can use his invisible strings to cut stuff. The thing that makes this so great is that he can use it at a very long range, with speed and great precision
Count in that he most likely has at least observation haki (Look at that chapter when he dodged attacks from that crew member of his trying to kill him) and can control people, plus he's never been hurt or even showed any sign of fear ever (Even in Marineford)
I'd say Doflamingo is maybe the strongest shichibukai. I think he's about equal to Mihawk, at least not weaker. He can dodge basically everything it seems. I think it would be harder for Mihawk to land a hit on him than for Dof to land a hit on Mihawk

i read the clinical research on this and tried it. wow!!! it works so well. i take chlorella with this so it eases the symptoms of detoxing (headaches, etc.)
All I've read about mercury detox protocols says you shouldn't take these two together so it's weird to see it in a HMD combo. Most protocols seem to state that you should take chlorella about 30 minutes before taking cilantro so when cilantro starts pulling mercury from your cells, there's already chlorella in your body to remove the mercury. If you're taking it together, the mercury might get reabsorbed into other cells instead of being removed from your body. That's one of the reasons I avoid this supplement.

Three NCAA Div. III national titles
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS — Thieves broke into Central College volleyball team vans late Friday night, swiping the players' equipment and personal belongings and leaving the Dutch unable to continue play at the Trinity University Fall Classic.
The squad had played two matches Friday and went directly to a restaurant at about 9:30 p.m. The thieves struck while the team was in the restaurant, breaking into the locked vehicles and picking them clean. Most of the players lost cash, credit cards and personal IDs as well as uniforms and equipment. Even ankle braces, a player's knee brace and an insulin pump were stolen.
Consequently, Central's Saturday matches were cancelled. The Dutch were slated to play Our Lady of the Lake (Texas) (8-12) at 10:30 a.m. and tourney host Trinity (Texas) (10-12) at 3 p.m.
"We're just extremely grateful that no one was in the vans when the crime occurred and that everyone is safe," interim athletics director Eric Van Kley said.
The team is working through the logistics of flying home Sunday without photo IDs, as well as attempting to quickly replace shoes, uniforms and equipment. Central is scheduled to travel to Decorah to take on Luther College Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Van Kley said it's not yet certain that everything can be replaced by then but that athletics department staff members have already been in contact with equipment suppliers.

- Yoon, J. W.; Song, I. S.; Yang, D. Y.; Chung, K.; Barlat, F.
- Abstract
- A variational formulation and the associated finite element (FE) equations have been derived for general three-dimensional deformation of a planar anisotropic rigid-plastic sheet metal which obeys the strain-rate potential proposed by Barlat et al. [Int. J. Plasticity 9, 1(1993)]. By using the natural convected coordinate system, the effect of geometric change and the rotation of planar anisotropic axes were efficiently considered. In order to check the validity of the present formulation, a cylindrical cup deep drawing test was modeled for a 2008-T4 aluminum alloy sheet sample. Eating simulations were performed and planar anisotropic material properties were experimentally determined. Even though quantitative agreement was not fully achieved, reasonably good agreement was found between the FE simulation and the experiment in thickness strain distribution and caring. No numerical difficulty due to planar anisotropy was encountered, and the computational procedure was found to be very stable, requiring only moderate computational time. The results have shown that the present formulation for planar anisotropic deformation can provide a good basis for the analysis of sheet metal forming processes for planar anisotropic materials, especially for aluminum alloy sheets.

The possibility cropped up that their third feature could be an animated film, which was pleasing to the band; then the possibility further cropped up that they didn't even have to provide the voices, but just poke their heads in for a one-shot cameo at the very end. This ended up being entirely unsatisfactory to UA (which is altogether fair), and the third film in the deal finally came out in 1970; but meanwhile, we are still in 1968, when the fourth feature to star the Beatles as characters, if not as actors, was released to great acclaim both artistic and financial, a watershed moment in the aesthetics of psychedelia done up cinematically; a film that even the Beatles themselves, battle-scarred and doubtlessly quite sick of movies altogether, thought was pretty much great. This is as it should be: for Yellow Submarine is a marvel altogether.
Inspired - damn loosely - by the song from 1966's Revolver album, the film is the first of the three jukebox musicals based upon the Beatles' work, and the only one of those to use the Beatles' original recordings (a note on terminology, for those unfamiliar with the phrase: a "jukebox musical" yokes pre-existing pop songs to an original plot. The other such films taken from the Beatles are the villainous Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band from 1978, and Julie Taymor's 2007 Across the Universe, which may or may not be a brilliant, beautiful experiment, depending on your perspective. This blog is a firmly pro-Taymor zone).* Seven songs from the 1965-'67 period showed up on the soundtrack, along with four "new" numbers, though it is a clear sign of how little investment the actual Beatles had in the project that these four tracks were basically cast-offs, songs the band had recorded and decided weren't good enough for commercial release during the sessions that (if I am not mistaken) led to the Magical Mystery Tour EP and the singles such as "Penny Lane"/"Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Lady Madonna" released in the aftermath of that EP, but before the daunting, monolithic sessions for The Beatles, which history has come to know as The White Album.
Really, though, there's not a blessed thing wrong with "All Together Now", "Only a Northern Song", "Hey Bulldog", or "It's All Too Much"; they fit in perfectly comfortable with their mates on the soundtrack (that is, the film's soundtrack - the official soundtrack album contains those four along with only "Yellow Submarine" and "All You Need Is Love", with seven poky instrumentals composed by music producer extraordinaire George Martin). They are every bit as remarkable as everything else this most incredible of rock groups was churning out in the immensely revolutionary period begun with Rubber Soul and concluded by the "Hey Jude" single. And since Yellow Submarine, like the movie version of Magical Mystery Tour before it, consists of very little beside psychedelic interstitials connecting what amount to early music videos all in row, it is really a good thing that its songs are so fine: arguably the finest collection of songs ever used as the backbone for a motion picture - that is to say, I would make the argument. Forgive me for being redundant, but how can anyone say a word against this playlist?
-"Yellow Submarine", a goofy, sweet bit of warmhearted juvenilia, with one of Ringo's warmest vocals;
-"Eleanor Rigby", one of the most concise & haunting descriptions of misery ever put to music;
-"All Together Now", a cheerful march, one of the easiest songs to sing-along to in their career;
-"When I'm Sixty-Four", often dismissed as a block of McCartney cheese, but bouncy and melodious and unashamedly nostalgic;
-"Only a Northern Song", a thrillingly un-melodious attempt to consider the value of pop music;
-"Nowhere Man", one of the few times the nasal, atonal Lennon indulged himself with soaring vocals;
-"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", which of course speaks for itself;
-"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", the boldest opening track in rock album history;
-"All You Need Is Love", a musically bittersweet but deeply sincere anthem to all the things Lennon held most dear;
-"Hey Bulldog", one of the sassiest & most sarcastic tracks the Beatles ever laid down;
-"It's All Too Much", Harrison's counterpoint to "All You Need Is Love", a musical landscape of sweeping grandeur.
Like I said, the plot behind all of those songs is pretty much just a pretext, though it is complex enough that you can tell it is a plot. Somewhere under the sea ("Once upon a time... or maybe twice" as the drowsy-voiced narrator puts it) is a place called Pepperland, where all is music and love and bright colors. In come the Blue Meanies an army of indiscriminately nasty folk, whose armies consist of tall men throwing deadly apples, Turks with snapping turtle bellies, and a huge, malevolent Glove. Only one Pepperland citizen, Old Fred (Lance Percival) is able to escape, in the yellow submarine that his ancestors used to arrive in the land in the first place.
Fred's journey to the world above takes him to Liverpool, where he accidentally falls upon Ringo (Paul Angelis), moping about in true A Hard Day's Night fashion because nobody in the whole world loves him. For a reason that makes exactly no sense, Ringo and Fred go back to the Beatles' palatial estate, a veritable museum of psychedelia, where John (John Clive) putters about engaged in mad science, George (Peter Batten, an army deserter, who was arrested before production ended; his part was completed by Angelis) spends his time deep in transcendental thought, and Paul (Geoff Hughes) apparently performs concerts for the massive sell-out crowds he keeps in a spare room. The four Beatles readily agree that Fred deserves whatever help they can give, and so they journey through a number of impossible landscapes, the Sea of Monsters, the Sea of Holes, the Sea of Science, and so forth, eventually arriving in Pepperland, where they revive the frozen bodies of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and teach the Blue Meanies that love is all you need.
With eleven full songs (and a number of snatches) piled into 90 minutes, though, we could more accurately call the plot "animated representations of the Beatles travel through awe-inspiring landscapes in the graphic styles of the late 1960s, stopping to perform some of their songs in stunning mixed-media experimental short films". Which is all the film needs to be - it is really better not to think of it as a "movie", so much as a marriage of visual art and music, in service to the beatific ideals of the hippie movement. Not, frankly, a movement that I have real particular respect for, nowadays (the hippies would be a hell of a lot easier to take seriously if so many of them hadn't grown up to become Reaganites), but you'd have to pretty much be an asshole to find fault with the message that it is better to treat everybody with love and respect, to wage peace, to find the value even in a nowhere sort of man who would just as soon spend time locked away in his own mind. Naïve, oh yes. But it is nevertheless an appealing idea.
Coming at this point in the Beatles' career, the film no longer smacks of such overt image control as A Hard Day's Night had only four years earlier - and by the way, how insane is it that only four years separates songs like "I Should Have Known Better" from "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Helter Skelter"? - though Yellow Submarine still finds the idea of the Beatles trumping the reality of the Beatles. Hell, the Beatles per se are only barely in Yellow Submarine!
By this point, at any rate "The Beatles" was a signifier far outstripping the four young men from Liverpool who made rock music. "The Beatles" described a way of looking at the world, a mentality of harmony through music and harmony through spirit and harmony through pharmaceuticals. It's almost a sick joke that this film depicts the four boys living in one giant house all warm and friendly, right at the same time that they were busy fragmenting into predominately self-contained units for the White Album recording sessions. Even the fairy tale world of Yellow Submarine can't ignore that - as friendly as their life together seems to be, each of the four is introduced separately, and apparently pursuing their own interests far apart from one another.
But the message and the messenger should never be confused, and if the Beatles were starting to collapse under the weight of being "The Beatles", none of that has anything to do with Yellow Submarine, a gorgeous, funny, moving time capsule from an era when people really did think that love and harmony could change the world. And heck, if everyone who saw the movie had really taken it to heart, maybe that is the world we'd be living in today. Whatever the case, the film is a wonderful gesture of boundless optimism and creativity, a grand pop culture relic of a bygone era; truly one of the finest animated films and one of the finest cinematic musicals of all time.
Words cannot do justice to the surreal, otherworldly visuals of designer Heinz Edelmann, director George Dunning, sequence director Charles Jenkins, and their team of animators - therefore,in lieu of words, may I present a Yellow Submarine gallery:

It's back to the 60s with Orange & Lemons' video for its record Yakap sa Dilim (Embrace in the Dark), which is set at a traditional diner where high school students share stolen glances, sugary words, and milkshakes during dates.
There is intentionally no edge or anything sleek and sharp about these three songs, which slurpily relish in their saccharine sentimentality – an identifying feature of Filipino music in general, which is perfectly at home with the ultimate sentimental decade: the 80s.
From Orange & Lemons' diner, Moonstar88 shifts to the lonelier venue of the store, where an "embrace in the dark" moves deeper into the fantasy of "Dream". A mannequin takes the place of the object of affection, comes to life, and even becomes a companion to an amusement park.
From excursions into past decades, the Eraserheads' "Huling El Bimbo" ("The Last El Bimbo"), launches into a young manís reverie of his childhood, when his sweetheart taught him how to dance to El Bimbo. The imagery is near-sepia, and captures innocent puppy love, but the darkly-lit scenes also foreshadow a future tragedy.
Though often fatalistic and mainly helplessly sappy, the bulk of Filipino pop retains hope and carefree cheer, and more importantly, doesnít lose the ability to laugh at itself.

My little Katie is just shy of 3 weeks old and she is suddenly fussy at the breast. She's only occasionally fussy, though, and I can't find a pattern to it. She will shake her head from side to side while trying to latch on, get very angry and turn red, then sometimes latch and feed for a few moments before doing it again. This is my second child and I breastfed the first for 20 months with out experiencing this problem. Does anyone know what this may be about?
Thank you,

LA CROSSE, Wis. -- Glennie Milalovic is a hard-working and extremely bright student. Much like many of her peers at Central High School.
"We have 21 4.0s this year in our class," said Mihalovic, a Central High School senior. "So, it's pretty hard to compete with."
And despite her resume, she still feels the pressure to stand out.
"They tell you it's for your resume. It's for the applications," said Mihalovic. "I do feel pressure, because the people I'm friends with push themselves too."
And for many students the pressure can be too much.
For Glennie, it happened last year, when she was a junior. The stress of our competitive culture was leading her to burnout. So, Glennie dropped her AP chemistry class at semester to give herself a break. But not all students and parents recognize this breaking point. And it can lead to medical and mental health issues.
"We see more headaches, abdominal pain, high stress kids, depression, anxiety in a fast-paced world with the teens," said Dr. Kelley Bahr, a family medicine doctor at Gundersen Lutheran.
Dr. Bahr says her practice has changed dramatically in the past 5-10 years. She's seen kids as young as 5-years-old experiencing some of these stress related symptoms. And in her opinion, the end result of this type of behavior can be serious for kids.
"They start to kind of fall back and sometimes go into sort of a lonely stage," said Bahr. "And that's when we start to see the depression and they feel that they're a failure and they haven't lived up to everyone's expectations. So, its a major consequence to pushing them too hard and too fast."
So, Dr. Bahr says make sure your kids have a healthy balance of activities and understand some kids can handle more than others. But it's important to keep a close eye on their behavior.
"If they're struggling a little bit, if school is tough, if they're having more physical symptoms, if they just don't seem like they're themselves any more or having behavior issues of some kind, there may be something else going on," said Dr. Bahr. "And it may be a chance for us to say maybe we need to take a step back and really look at their schedule."
That's exactly what Glennie did, as she and her parents realized she was pushing herself too hard and starting to get burnt out.
"I was just so tired," said Mihalovic. "And the energy level wouldn't be the same.... the happiness..."
So, this year, Glennie cut back on her extra-curricular activities. A decision which didn't come easily.
"This year just deciding priorities... not to go out for track and field, like I have the two previous," said Mihalovic. "You never want to tell the coach or friends that you're not going out for track, but you just have to make decisions. It's for yourself."
And while Glennie and her parents have figured out how to balance the pressures on teens in today's competitive society, Glennie wants to make sure everyone understands how different growing up in America is today.
"I really would love if parents would understand how different it is," said Mihalovic. "How difficult it is to balance all those things."

The Illinois State Board of Education has adopted Illinois
criteria for meeting the requirements of the federal No
Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) for highly qualified
teachers. NCLB requires that all teachers of core academic
subjects be highly qualified by the end of the 20052006
school year.
NCLB distinguishes between new and current, or veteran,
teachers. Current teachers are those who were
first certified in Illinois on or before June 30, 2002.
The new Illinois criteria require that current teachers
hold a valid certificate for the grade level of assignment
and meet one of the following five options:
New teachers are defined as those who were
first certified in Illinois on or after July 1, 2002.
The criteria for new teachers identify the certification
the new teacher must hold for a given teaching assignment
and the options available for demonstrating subject-area
competence. In general, a candidate can demonstrate competence
by passing a subject-area test, holding a masters
or other advanced degree in the subject area, or having
an endorsement in the subject area or coursework equivalent
to a major.
All teachers, new or veteran, who were newly hired to
teach in Title Isupported programs must have met
the criteria for being a highly qualified teacher beginning
with the 20022003 school year. School districts
are expected to use federal funds to annually increase
the percentage of classes taught by highly qualified teachers,
with the goal that all teachers who are teaching core
academic subjects be highly qualified by the end of the
20052006 school year. Parents must be notified if
their child has been taught in a core academic subject
area for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who
does not meet the criteria necessary to be highly qualified.
The State Board chose to exclude all special education
teachers (whether new or current) from the new criteria,
pending further guidance from Congress and the U.S. Department
of Education. Reauthorization of the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act is expected to address the
qualifications that special education teachers must meet
to be considered highly qualified. Until that happens,
or until the federal government clarifies its expectations,
Illinois special education teachers will not be addressed
by requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act.
Last September, the State Board approved a draft definition
of a highly qualified teacher. That definition has been
revised based on subsequent guidance from USDE. Some highlights
of the new criteria:

We need a defensive line up... Have you seen how many points teams have been scoring on us...
Remember the twin tower starting lineup of camby n chandler.n how well it worked
Is it time for a change?
Mike Woodson has hinted several times over the past few days that hes thinking about altering his starting lineup.
Ultimately, though, hes decided each time to stick with the same unit: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
With the Knicks mired in a season-high four-game losing streak, do you think Woodson needs to make a change?
Here are a few options to consider:
THE LINEUP: Felton, Shumpert, Smith, Anthony, Chandler
WHY IT COULD WORK: The Knicks have had a tough time guarding the opponents off guard for long stretches of the season. The culprit, at times, has been Jason Kidd.
Kidd has had difficulty stopping bigger, faster guards while in the starting lineup. In the lineup above, Shumpert would switch to the 2 and, ideally, would be able to make life tough for the opposing shooting guard.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] could also boost the Knicks on both sides of the ball and his presence at small forward would allow Anthony to stay at power forward, where hes enjoyed a mismatch all season.
THE DRAWBACK: Inserting Smith into the starting lineup takes a significant amount of firepower away from the Knicks' bench, which has been a strength all season. In theory, though, Kidd would strengthen the second unit.
THE LINEUP: Felton, Shumpert, Anthony, Stoudemire, Chandler
WHY IT COULD WORK: The Anthony-Stoudemire-Chandler trio wasnt effective last season. But thanks to Stoudemires improved post game, the three stars have been more productive when sharing the floor this year, so this lineup may be effective.
THE DRAWBACK: Stoudemire continues to be a liability on the defensive end. So inserting him into the starting five would compromise the defense. It would also force Anthony to move to small forward.
THE LINEUP: Felton, Shumpert, Copeland, Anthony, Chandler
WHY IT COULD WORK: Adding Copeland to the starting lineup gives the Knicks another scoring threat alongside Anthony. This lineup would also force Kidd to the bench, which, again, would benefit the second unit. This lineup could also be more effective at limiting the opposing backcourt.
THE DRAWBACK: Copeland has shown he can score, but the rookie struggles to get stops. So the lineup above could struggle on defense.
Question: Would you change the Knicks' starting five? If so, which lineup would you go with? Why?
courtesy of: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I'm wondering what's taking so long?
We need a defensive line up... Have you seen how many points teams have been scoring on us...
Remember the twin tower starting lineup of camby n chandler.n how well it worked
"I'm more concern how Melo is gonna play with Lin" Joe Budden
Hell yeah we need to change the starting lineup ASAP .. plus create a bench lineup without JR in it.
SG-JR belongs in the starting lineup with Ball-HOLDING SF-Melo & PG-Felton, add C-Tyson with Kurt, or Sheed, or K-Mart.
Bench lineup to start the 2nd quarter should be PG-Prig / SG-Shump / SF-Copeland / PF-Amare / C-Camby / 6th-man Kidd / Novak .. These 7 players will gell quicker on offense/defense to win 60% of our games.
The 40 minute Melo, 35 minute JR, 33 minute Felton, and 31 minute Tyson, has no gellin-chemistry or communication to compliment one another skills/talent to be the leaders of this team .. they are 0-4 heading into the midseason playoff run...
S5: Felton, Shumpert, Melo, Martin, Chandler
Second unit: Kidd, Smith, Copeland, Wallace, Stoudemire
Starting 5:
PG: Kidd
SG: Shumpert
SF: Carmelo Anthony
PF: Kenyon Martin
C: Tyson Chandler
Kidd starts the game off with composure and smart play. Shumpert's in for perimeter defense and scoring. I wouldn't be opposed to Camby starting with Chandler, in fact I'd love it. The reason why I'd put Martin in the starting line-up is because he can score as well, which hasn't been a strong point of the Knicks either. I wanted the Camby/Chandler duo to start before. Did Woodson ever do that?
I wrote more on the bench, but not enough minutes to go around. I even forgot about Amar'e. My main focus when I was typing that was defense and ball-movement (Prigiono at PG).
The thing Woodson has to do is be willing to put a non-regular rotation player in such as Copeland and Kurt Thomas if it's one of those nights such as against the Pacers and Raptors. Why wouldn't he insert Thomas in more? Is Woodson a defensive specialist or not?
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
Woody said no changes in S5 even when Shump scoring % is 20 he will be keeping him for D.
Depending on health, stamina, chemistry, etc I would go with
C - Chandler
PF - KMart (Camby)
SF - Melo
SG - Shumpert
PG - Felton
I think having Amare start would be ideal IF D wasnt such a huge liability in the unit......there are definitely alot of pieces to mix and match, especially on 2nd unit......hopefully we get some chemistry going as we make a run for 2nd seed and into the playoffs
Sent from my LG-P999
I would go
PG - Prigioni
SG - JR Smith
SF - Melo
C - Tyson
That would be the most normal basketball lineup. A point guard that can pass. A shooting guard that can shoot. A small forward that can score from both outside and inside. A power forward that can score a high percentage from close. And a center for defense.
The question remains .. does Woodson know how to coach a 9 or 10 man rotation?
What is Woodson going to do when all 15 players are healthy to perform? keep on DNP 7 to 8 players per game? did someone mention Damnphoney?
Novak & JR belong in the starting lineup so we could explore a bench-lineup using Kidd, Shump, Stat, (and Camby return) to spice up the gellin in Prig & Copeland pick n roll, and defensive-switch.
We are going to need a lot of depth off our bench to win a 7 game series.
Plus JR, Novak, Felton are perfect starters for the double n tripple team on Iso-Melo.
not to many of our players are co-existin well with our 4 (Felton/JR/Melo/Tyson) most minute played players in our Finisher lineup. Our finisher-lineup is a bigger problem than our starter-lineup.
Amare or Martin
This is the kind of lineup Woodson should be working towards! Melo at the 4 is great offensively but it hurts the balance of the lineup. Correct me if i'm wrong, but hasn't Melo been tearing up the league for years playing at the SF position?? Woodson is proving to be a stubborn man. I was positive he would alter the lineup last night but he didn't and still allowed Kidd to play way too many minutes. We all want Kidd to be that saavy player who will be the wild card for us in the postseason, but based on what I see now he won't have anything left. He's already done aside from a few plays here and there.
Real Talk
Y'all jokin with this Martin startin right?!! Dude hasn't played in almost a year and you want this guy in the lineup over STAT.... y'all musta bumbed yo heads! STAT is back to playin at a high level and deserves to be back in the starting rotation. Truthfully he needs more touches and Melo needs less right about now. Start the game off with the main focus centered around STAT then finish with Melo....guaranteed success.
my 2 pesos
this isnt about starting but,, Cope needs to get Novaks minutes, Novak will make 2 3s and make some of ya horny with his belt but the truth is he costs us too many damn points its like playing with 4 players on the defensive side,, not saying Cope is great defender but has energy will rebound and play lil better than Novak, plus he isnt a 1 dimension offensive player, has more opportunites to score
"I'm more concern how Melo is gonna play with Lin" Joe Budden
Woodson has already lost points in my book for his lack of defensive strategy. He is now f*cking with my patience. We are .500 in our last 30 games- 2 months- after a great start and I see no real viable solutions not to mention how disingenuous he appears after planning to start STAT at the beginning of the season.GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Don't expect to see*Amar'e Stoudemire
in the starting lineup anytime soon.
Mike Woodson made it clear in two separate interviews on Monday that he expects Stoudemire's role to remain the same, which means Stoudemire will continue to come off the bench.
The "Start STAT!" issue has come up in recent days because the Knicks' starting five has struggled for the past few weeks. So some media and fans have suggested that Woodson insert Stoudemire into the lineup.
Woodson recognizes that his starting lineup could use a spark. But he doesn't see Stoudemire as a solution to the problem.
"It's nice to start a game and jump on teams (early) ... but that hasn't been our M-O for the last month or so. Starting STAT, I'm not sure that is the answer," Woodson said Monday in an interview on ESPN New York 98.7 FM's "The Stephen A. Smith & Ryan Ruocco Show." "I think he's very comfortable with where he is right now, I'm comfortable where he is in terms of coming off (the bench)."
Stoudemire has been coming off of the Knicks' bench since returning from offseason knee surgery on January 1.
And he's thrived in the role.
Stoudemire scored 22 points in 22 minutes in the Knicks' win over Philly on Sunday.
On the season, he's averaging 13.7 points and five rebounds in 22.8 minutes. He's also shooting 57 percent from the floor.
That he's done so while coming off of the bench has been a big storyline surrounding the team for several reasons. Here are two: Stoudemire had been a starter for his first ten years in the NBA and he's in the third year of a $100 million contract.
If and or when we get eliminated I will be looking back at these type of stubborn decisions, considering the lack of ingenuity, and more than likely conclude this coach was all talk no action. And that's sad because not only am I one of his supporters but that increases the odds of our team being all talk, no action.smh
Btw- I don't need to understand his thinking; in fact he needs to understand mine. I've seen small-ball; no-defense;, 3 point happy; poor rebounding; poorly motivated teams for too long not to recognize what I'm seeing... and they lost.
Woodson... start STAT (by sitting Kidd) or else. Before someone (like kidd) gets hurt by you being stubborn and overplaying players out-of-position.
Are you Woodson or D'Antoni? The uncanny similarities.
I'm getting tired of playing Shump out of position at the 3, and with Kidd getting so many minutes. Amar'e should be getting those minutes, IMO - he's showed flashes of brilliance in the post - he's just not getting enough shots. My ideal lineup would be
However, there are some legitimate issues with making that happen right now: First and foremost, we don't have any healthy big men, so either Chandler or Amare have to be on the floor at any given time. If Sheed comes back, this should change. Also, we don't have anyone besides 'Melo who is a legitimate starter at the 3. This should be a reason to start Amar'e, but see my previous point.
I think we're leaning way too much on Kidd. He hasn't been producing lately and seems sluggish. Dude is too old to be chasing around shooting guards for 30 minutes every night.
Maybe Kenyon Martin will provide a good lift off the bench and allow Amar'e to be inserted into the starting lineup. Something needs to be shaken up a bit
Ideally I think we all want to see Shump play his natural position at the 2 guard and have Kidd in a more limited role, which will hopefully leave enough in his tank for a playoff run.
Small ball may be nice during the regular season and can create mismatches offensively for Melo at the 4, but I don't see it taking us far into the playoffs, plus Melo is taking a beating defensively.
In the end the ultimate goal is to win a championship......and you do that with your best players I believe. With that said, I am still on the fence about STAT starting at the 4. He has been effective off the bench, but I would like to see someone with more of a defensive presence like Camby or Martin (depending on health, effectiveness, stamina, etc) starting and Amare coming in with the 2nd unit to wreak havoc offensively as well as finish games.
If Camby or Martin starts at the 4 with Melo at the 3 and Felton running the point then I would like to see more of an offensive output from the 2. Maybe Shump settles in back at his natural position and becomes more efficient, or you have to start JR to give Melo support on the offensive side of the ball......but you need someone that can be a threat and score consistently to go along with Tyson, Camby, Felton and Melo IMO come playoff time.
If Shump can get back to where he was pre Injury (or close to it) then I would be good with
C - Chandler
PF - Camby
SF - Melo
SG - Shump
PG - Felton
For a starting 5 in the playoffs with Amare and Smith providing firepower off the bench. All depends on how effective the starting 5 is though to make it work.

My LO is six weeks old, and we've struggled with overactive letdown from the beginning. Poor little guy gets sprayed in the face and can't latch at first because it's too slippery. I also have a good supply. I don't know if it's oversupply, but the few times I've pumped to empty, I got 6-8 ounces within about 10 minutes.
I've tried the standard remedies without any luck. However, one night I pumped right before going to bed in place of that feeding so DH could help. The next two feedings...I finally understood how bf could be a peaceful, bonding experience! He latched on, ate, we snuggled, and he went right back to sleep. No squirting, no gulping, no fussing and gas afterwards.
One other thing - I have PCOS. That can cause low supply, but it can also cause oversupply in some women. I think that might be why my body isn't adjusting with the usual techniques.
Does it seem like this would be worth trying? Pumping every few feedings? Or has anyone had success with other nonstandard techniques? We've tried block feeding, letting it flow into a towel, nursing uphill, pumping a little bit before feeding, etc. I'm hoping there's something we can do. I'm tempted to go to EP because I hate seeing my little guy so frustrated and hurting after every feeding, but I know it's not the best option...

I had the same problem when I EPed, but I was so paranoid and afraid I was going to lose my milk supply entirely. I ended up donating milk, about 10,000 ounces. I finally slowed down and stopped pumping when I was pregnant since that pretty much killed my supply. Sorry I don't have better advice.
Exclusively pumped for Lance Oct 07
Nursed until just before he turned 3 Levi Oct 09
Do you have extra milk? Consider donating!
"So I was welcomed by the consolations of human milk; but it was not my mother or my nurses who made any decision to fill their breasts, but you who through them gave me infant food, in accordance with your ordinance and the riches which are distributed deep in the natural order." -St Augustine
- When you decrease the frequency of feedings, you said your breast become very full and engorged. If they become too sore you can hand express just enough to relieve the engorgement. It is important to let your body know your baby does need that much milk, and the way to tell it is by not emptying your breasts.
-When you pumped more frequently for shorter sessions, it likely increased your supply, so stop that.
-I agree with PP that you should look into donating milk. Here is a link for the Human Milk Banking Association of North America
-Don't decrease your supply so much that when you are able to bf your LO you have low supply issues. It's better (IMO) to have a surplus of milk that you can donate than try to increase your supply later.
Lastly, hang in there! It sounds like you're doing great!!!

A group of Ohio State University students is stunned to find "some random guy" living in the basement of their off-campus house.
The male students initially joked they had a "ghost" living with them after finding the doors to their cupboards, ovens and microwaves open without explanation, campus newspaper The Lantern reported.
But they weren't laughing when maintenance workers knocked down the door to what they thought was a closet in their basement.
Inside, they found a bedroom littered with textbooks and even decorated with framed photographs.
The secret room belonged to an OSU student named Jeremy, who was not home at the time and was quickly evicted.
"He was a really nice guy," Brett Mugglin, who lives "legally" in the house, told The Lantern. "I feel bad for him. It's just, he wasn't supposed to be living there ... It's funny now, but it potentially could have been extremely dangerous given that some random guy had a key to our house and was just living in our house without anyone knowing."
The roommates are none too happy with their landlords about the situation and are considering legal action.


text: Massachusetts Students Rank #1 Again! "Massachusetts teachers should be extremely proud of the consistently high performance of their students," said MTA President Anne Wass in response to news that Massachusetts students ranked first in the country yet again on a national reading exam. The Commonwealth's fourth and eighth graders both had the highest scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress reading exam in 2009, marking the third time in a row that the state's students outscored their peers nationwide. NAEP, often referred to as The Nation's Report Card, is administered to a sample of students in every state plus the District of Columbia. According to results of the 2009 NAEP exam, the state's fourth graders scored an average of 234 on the reading assessment, well above the national average of 220 and first in the nation. At grade 8, Massachusetts students achieved the highest average of 274, which exceeded the national average of 262 and was a statistical tie for first with five other high performing states: New Jersey (273); Connecticut and Vermont (272); and New Hampshire and Pennsylvania (271). Massachusetts students also rank first in the country on the NAEP math tests in grades four and eight. The math results were released last October. "Education is our calling card around the world," said Governor Deval Patrick in a statement released today. "I couldn't be more proud of our students, teachers, and school administrators whose dedication and hard work made this remarkable achievement possible." Once again, both nationally and in Massachusetts females out scored males on the test, and white and Asian students outscored African American and Hispanic students. "The state's overall high scores on both NAEP and on international measures of achievement demonstrate that there is a lot that our teachers and schools are doing right," said Wass. "Given their obvious expertise, teachers must be at the forefront of figuring out effective strategies for reducing the persistent achievement gaps. The views of teachers and other practitioners must be paramount in the next phase of education reform." For more information on NAEP and the most recent results, go to www.nationsreportcard.gov.
