"It was Asian enough for my immigrant parents and American enough for my sister and me." In the PBS feature documentary, Off The Menu, filmmaker Grace Lee traverses the US into the kitchens, factories, temples and farm of Asian Pacific America that explores how our relationship to food reflects our evolving communities.

The Chain Of Coincidence
One day in 1984 character actor Stephen Tobolowsky (Groundhog Day, the original, unaired pilot of Buffy The Vampire Slayer) was walking down the street when Jonathan Demme pulled up and asked if he wanted to see a movie he was finishing. Tobolowsky accepted: taking his girlfriend Beth Henley, they went to the Academy Linwood Dunn Theatre to watch the rough cut of the movie, Stop Making Sense. The audience in the otherwise empty theatre consisted of Tobolowsky, Henley, and Demme, along with members of Talking Heads, including David Byrne and Tina Weymouth. Later, Byrne passed Tobolowsky on his bike and asked if he wanted to work on a new movie. Interest sparked again, and during the ensuing collaboration Tobolowsky shared his past experience of psychic phenomena. Inspired, Byrne went on to write Radio Head. The song was heard by Thom Yorke and became the name of his band. All of this is a true story, based on puzzling evidence. [more inside]

By Karl Terry: PNT Managing Editor
A Portales woman was sentenced to five years in prison Wednesday on charges related to the embezzlement of $139,164 from two employers, according to a news release from the 9th Judicial District Attorney's office.
Tammy Jo Garcia, 34, of Portales pleaded guilty to two counts of embezzlement, one count of fraud and 10 counts of forgery and was sentenced by Judge David Reeb of the 9th Judicial District Court in Roosevelt County. The judge ordered that, following the prison sentence, Garcia serve five years supervised parole and make full restitution during that time.
Garcia was accused of embezzling $138,314 from an account at Eastern New Mexico University for the New Mexico Higher Education Assessment Association, by forging checks on 69 occasions from May 28, 2002, to July 6, 2004, according to court records.
According to ENMU officials, Garcia was hired in 1998 as a planning services secretary. She was promoted to senior secretary for the Assessment Resource Office in September of 2001 and resigned in July 2004.
ENMU Campus Police began investigating the crime in 2004, which led to an investigation by Portales Police Department that resulted in additional embezzlement and forgery charges connected to the disappearance of $850 from the Roosevelt County Swine Breeders Association. Garcia was arrested by Portales Police in late February 2005 and bonded out the same day.
According to 9th Judicial District Attorney Matt Chandler, Garcia had originally been scheduled to sign a plea agreement in April but backed out at the hearing. Her trial was set for Sept. 7 at which time a plea agreement was finalized.
"At sentencing hearing she was facing two to 15 years," Chandler said.
"The law enforcement agencies investigating presented a solid case based on evidence which we believe is the reason why she entered a plea."
Chandler said that as a part of the plea bargain some of the 69 counts of forgery were dropped.
The court has instructed her to surrender herself Dec. 28 to start serving the prison sentence as part of the agreement, Chandler said.
In the criminal complaint, Garcia was charged with forging the signature of Larry Smith, then coordinator of ENMU's assessment department. Garcia's responsibilities in that office included reconciling monthly bank statements, making deposits, typing checks and other bookkeeping duties. She was never authorized to sign checks or withdraw money from the account, according to the affidavit.
"Our number-one goal is to make sure restitution is paid in this case and see that the defendant has some sort of sentence," Chandler said. "We believe this accomplishes that."
Chandler said he was not certain if ENMU would have been responsible for repaying the money if Garcia had not pleaded guilty. ENMU officials declined to comment on the case. Smith, who has since retired did not return phone calls by press time.
The phone at the number listed for Garcia was no longer in service when the PNT attempted to contact her.

We make suits, outrageous ones. An OppoSuit is the exact opposite of a regular business suit (apart from the quality and the fit) and is made out of a ridiculous and unusual pattern in a well-fitted design. The high quality fabric similar to proper 'boring' suits enables you to wear your OppoSuit over and over again, so please don't think it's some sort of a disposable fancy dress costume.
The fact that a full suit, including a tie, can be delivered to your doorstep for an incredibly reasonable price just seems too good to be true, right? It does indeed though we're dead serious about it and truly believe that OppoSuits should be affordable for everyone!
Being worn to be wild, OppoSuits are extremely suitable for very serious business meetings, stag dos, weddings, fancy dress parties, festivals and sporting events. OppoSuits comprise a three-piece set consisting of: jacket, trousers and tie.

Dermatitis, Atopic
Dermatitis, Atopic is a topic covered in the 5-Minute Clinical Consult.
To view the entire topic, please sign in or purchase a subscription.
5-Minute Clinical Consult Explore these free sample topics:
-- The first section of this topic is shown below --
- A chronic, relapsing, pruritic eczematous condition affecting characteristic sites
- Early onset cases have coexisting allergen sensitization more often than late onset.
- Clinical phenotypical presentation is highly variable, suggesting multifactorial pathophysiology.
- May have significant effect on quality of life for patient and family
- 45% of all cases begin in the first 6 months of life with 95% onset prior to age 5 years.
- 70% of affected children will have a spontaneous remission before adolescence.
- Incidence on the rise for the past 3 decades in industrialized countries; overall, affects ~15% of children at some time (United States)
- Also, may have late-onset dermatitis in adults or relapse of childhood condition—primarily hand eczema
- Asians and blacks are affected more often than whites.
- 60% if one parent is affected; rises to 80% if both parents are affected
Etiology and Pathophysiology
- Two main hypothesis: immunologic with unbalanced immune response and/or skin barrier dysfunction (1)
- Alteration in stratum corneum results in transepidermal water loss and defect in barrier function.
- Epidermal adhesion is reduced either as a result of (i) genetic mutation resulting in altered epidermal proteins or (ii) defect in immune regulation causing an altered inflammatory response.
- Interleukin-31 (IL-31) upregulation is thought to be a major factor in pruritus mediated by cytokines and neuropeptides rather than histamine excess.
- Recent discovery of association between atopic dermatitis (AD) and mutation in the filaggrin gene (on chromosome 1), which codes for a skin barrier protein (2)
- Both epidermal and immune coding likely involved
Risk Factors
- "Itch–scratch cycle" (stimulates histamine release)
- Skin infections
- Emotional stress
- Irritating clothes and chemicals
- Excessively hot or cold climate
- Food allergy in children (in some cases)
- Exposure to tobacco smoke
- Family history of atopy
- Asthma
- Allergic rhinitis
Commonly Associated Conditions
- Food sensitivity/allergy in many cases
- Asthma
- Allergic rhinitis
- Hyper-IgE syndrome (Job syndrome)
- Elevated IgE
- Recurrent pyodermas
- Decreased chemotaxis of mononuclear cells

Katrina: A 10-Year Review
by Walter Brasch This week is the 10th anniversary of the destruction of the southeastern gulf coast by Hurricane Katrina. More than 1,800 people died. There is no estimate for the number of pets and wildlife. Damage was estimated at more than $100 billion. About 80 percent of New Orleans was flooded. In Mississippi, the water surge flooded as much as 10 miles from the beaches. The Category 3 storm should not have caused that much damage, but it exposed poorly-designed levees that should have protected New Orleans. Sanctimonious critics, many of them conservative politicians, claimed that if the residents had evacuated New Orleans like they were ordered, the death toll and suffering would have been significantly less. What they … Continue reading

Technology: Monocoque Construction, Penta X-Section, RippleGS, Aero Profile, Oviform Headshape, 3K Carbon
Tapering aerodynamic profile in the hoop allows for greater racket head speed and manoeuvrability for superior shot making.
Conventional graphite rackets use a separate bridge section which is fused into the racket during moulding. Slazenger's unique Monocoque construction is different because it uses a one piece racket construction which optimally distributes tension over the entire graphite structure to ensure no loss of performance or feel caused by fatigue at the joins in the carbon layers. This provides outstanding structural strength and racket response.
The AERO range of rackets all feature a 15% wider more elliptical head shape increasing the sweet spot of the racket and more evenly distributing string tension around the hoop to provide greater more forgiving power especially on off centre hits.
This unique 5 sided pentagonal cross section in the shaft portion of the V100 series rackets enhances racket resilience and torsional impact control, giving outstanding racket power without compromising control.
A new grommet system on the V100 series rackets that generate greater grommet compression on ball impact, filters vibrations and enhances the rackets trampoline effect. The result is enhanced power with comfort.

CLEVELAND (AP) — With the trade deadline looming, the Indians aren't sure if they're buyers or
sellers. Winners or losers.
In an uneven season, they're not sure which way to go.
Trevor Bauer didn't get through the fifth inning and the Indians failed to get back to .500 yesterday night with a 5-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners.
Bauer (4-6) was touched for four runs in the fourth inning and the Indians trailed 5-0 before getting an RBI single by Yan Gomes and Jason Kipnis' run-scoring groundout in the fifth.
Cleveland couldn't get much going against Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma (9-5), and the Indians didn't have any luck either as several hard-hit balls were caught and David Murphy's apparent homer in the seventh was ruled a double.
It was that kind of night.
It's been that kind of year.
"We're really not that different from last year," manager Terry Francona said before the game. "We started the second half off last year with a horrendous road trip, and everybody wrote us off and we bounced back. You've got to play the games. We get to .500, slip back, get to .500, slip back.
"At some point, we need to get to .500 and kick it into gear. That's harder to do than it is to say."
The Indians are 5-7 since the All-Star break, and with August quickly approaching, time is running short.
"We need to put that run together," Francona said.
The Mariners, who came in with the fewest runs scored in the AL, took a 4-0 lead in the fourth when they hit three doubles — all of them hard hits — off Bauer.
"I think I was just behind too much," Bauer said. "When you don't get ahead they take good swings."
Mike Zunino's 16th homer gave the Mariners a 5-0 lead in the fifth and chased Bauer, who had gone at least six innings in each of his previous four starts.
With the Indians trailing 5-2, Murphy hit a towering fly to right in the seventh that appeared to clear the wall. Umpires ruled it a double and the call stood up following a crew-chief challenge.
After looking at a replay, Murphy thought he homered.
"I felt like it hit right on top of the yellow line," he said. "You always want a call like that to go your way. They call it a game of inches for a reason. You hate walking away from a game with a what-might-have-been feeling."
With trade rumors rampant, Cleveland starter Justin Masterson, in the final year of his contract, isn't surprised his name has been mentioned in more than a few deals.
"It's just default," said Masterson, acquired at the deadline in 2009 from Boston in the trade for Victor Martinez. "Anyone who is about to be a free agent has their name thrown in there."
Masterson feels the Indians are still in position to make a playoff push.
"We like what we have," said Masterson, who will return from the DL and pitch Friday. "If I can come back and be three-quarters of what I was before that, I can almost be like a free agent coming in."
Indians: As center fielder Michael Bourn rehabs his surgically repaired left hamstring, Francona is trying to let the speedster recover at his own pace. Bourn has been on the disabled list since July 6, and it's not yet known when he will go on a rehab assignment or be activated. Bourn took batting practice before yesterday's game.
Two of the AL's top pitchers match up in the second game of the series when Seattle's Felix Hernandez takes on Cleveland's Corey Kluber. Hernandez (11-2) has allowed two runs or less and pitched at least seven innings in 13 consecutive starts, an AL record. King Felix, though, is just 7-5 in his career against the Indians, with all five losses coming in Cleveland.
Kluber (10-6) carried a perfect game into the seventh inning of his previous start.
CLEVELAND (AP) — With the trade deadline looming, the Indians aren't sure if they're buyers or
sellers. Winners or losers.

lame duck session
Lame duck "crows"
The Dems are jumping around and engaging in a bit of back-slapping as they declare the 111th Congress a "do something" Congress. The key third word is "to" or "for". I vote for "to", as in they've done something to all of us we aren't going to like or already don't like (*cough* health care *cough*).
So while they dance around the maypole…
President Obama led his party Wednesday in celebrating the repeal of "Don't ask, don't tell," one of the several accomplishments to come during the unusually busy lame-duck session. The Senate is set to ratify the New START Treaty on Wednesday afternoon, and passed a defense authorization bill by unanimous consent in the Senate on Wednesday morning. Also up for possible passage Wednesday is legislation to fund healthcare for 9/11 first responders.
"We've had a very, very productive few weeks after this election. We took responsibility to do the things that needed to be done," Hoyer told liberal talker Bill Press on his radio show.
… I have only two questions to ask of this supposed wonderful Congress after the mid-terms.
The return of the monster 2,000 page debt-fueled bill
nyone who remembers the recent passage of ObamaCare remembers the size of the bill – over 2,000 pages – and the fact that almost no one knew what was included in its pages. Nancy Pelosi infamously said, "we'll have to pass the bill to find out what's in the bill".
There was very little if any debate on the bill and it ended up being rammed through Congress under the reconciliation process. We're still finding out all of the little poison nuggets in that mess of a law.
Then November shows up and the American pubic spanks the Democrats for doing business the way they did, taking away 63 seats and a majority in the House in a bloodbath of an election. Quit spending like drunken sailors and focus on jobs and the economy the people said.
And the Democrats learned what? Nary a freakin' thing. They've never passed a budget for government this year in Congress – one of its main functions – but instead have passed a series of continuing resolutions to keep it funded. That last continuing resolution is about to run out and – back up to their old tricks — Congressional Democrats have advanced a 2,000 page, 1.1 trillion dollar omnibus spending bill that is designed to fund government (and lard out the pork) through 2011.
Instead of bringing up a straight spending bill that funds government at its current levels (or, here's an idea, maybe 2008 levels so they could show the American people they're serious about cutting spending? Nah.), we get 1.1 trillion in pork, payoffs and profligacy.
Same old Democrats doing the same old thing as though November never happened.
And they're not alone:
Despite strong opposition from Thune and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), several Senate Republicans are considering voting for the bill.
"That's my intention," said retiring Sen. Bob Bennett (R-Utah) when asked if he would support the package.
Bennett said earmarks in the bill might give some of his GOP colleagues reason to hesitate but wouldn't affect his vote.
"It will be tough for some, but not for me," he said.
GOP Sens. Kit Bond (Mo.), George Voinovich (Ohio) and Susan Collins (Maine) also told The Hill on Tuesday they would consider voting for the omnibus but want to review it before making a final decision.
And there you have it. If Bennett wonders why he's soon to be unemployed, it couldn't be more plainly obvious than his remarks about this. And as for the other "usual suspects", apparently they don't much care about the November message either (and if you happen to have one of those people as your Senator, you might want to remind them of that message).
This is the "business as usual" nonsense that has to stop and stop now. This Congress has all but abrogated its budget responsibilities for the entire year and now, on the eve of a government shutdown and the end of their session, they decide to act. But not with a continuing resolution to keep essential government services funded until the new Congress can meet to take up the budget, but with a 2,000 page pork laden, 1.1 trillion debt-fueled monstrosity that will be allowed little debate and passed without most knowing what the hell they're voting for. On that principle alone, I'd vote "no". "No" until I can read and consider the bill, debate it, amend it and do what is supposed to be done before passing legislation.
There are a few things that have leaked out concerning what is in the bill:
The 1,924-page bill includes funding to implement the sweeping healthcare reform bill Congress passed earlier this year as well as additional funds for Internal Revenue Service agents, according to a senior GOP aide familiar with the legislation.
Obviously that doesn't cost "1.1 trillion", so there's an awful lot more (I wonder if the IRS agents mentioned are those whose job it will be to enforce health insurance compliance through the tax system?).
So here we are again, faced with a debt-fueled, pork laden 1.1 trillion dollar last spending fling by Democrats and you have 4 Republican Senators thinking about supporting this nonsense in contravention of the will of the people. For those like Bennett, Bond and Voinovich (both of the latter I believe are retiring) there's probably nothing that can be done to punish them or change their mind. That's the problem with the lame duck session of a Congress. And it is, as I've pointed out before, a major problem. There is no accountability mechanism for those who've been defeated or are retiring so they can do pretty much what they wish. This is their last fling and they're going to go out as they've always been – earmark addicts and debt spending fanatics who really don't give a rip about what Americans have said they want.
Collins, of course, is always ready to side with those who spend like fools and have gotten us in the shape we're in. And unfortunately Maine GOP voters have yet to ensure Collins understands their new priorities. She's not up for re-election again until 2014. With that cushion and no apparent pressure from her constituency, she appears to feel free to proceed as usual. However, we can't afford "as usual" anymore.
Many think that stopping this bill and insisting that it be a clean, clear continuing resolution to fund government is a priority. I'd be one of those. But the GOP worries that if it does so, and government gets shut down right before the holidays, they'll be blamed and suffer for it as they did when Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton went toe-to-toe one year over spending and shutting down government.
I'm not so sure, given the current conditions, that Democrats would enjoy the same wide-spread support now that they did then. Not given the midterms, not given the message very forcefully sent by the electorate and certainly not given this deficit building monstrosity of a bill being considered.
Kill the lame duck
You know, I got to thinking about the fact that many of those who will be deciding on legislation in the lame duck session of Congress were summarily kicked out of their seats by voters on Nov. 2nd. While it may not be "the law", I suggest that the voters who ousted these Representatives and Senators do not consider the person currently occupying the seat in the lame duck Congress to represent them. After all, that's why they voted in the majority to get rid of them.
So why are they then allowed to retain their seats until some future arbitrary date? How can they, as soon to be ex-members voted out by their constituents, represent anyone? Now I understand that some are retiring that that's a bit different. But leaving defeated members in their seats is an invitation to mischief. For instance, Bob Bennett, a Republican Senator who was defeated in the primary is in the Senate today saying he'd probably vote for the DREAM act if it comes to the floor as a stand alone bill. It is precisely that sort of prior voting that has Bennett seeking employment on K Street.
Orin Hatch, on the other hand, has a date with the voters in 2012 and, after previously supporting it, is running from the DREAM act as hard as he can. He's still accountable to them. Bennett is accountable to no one.
As you can tell, I'm not a big fan of lame duck Congressional sessions. And I think my reason is valid. Nothing says seating a new Congress has to be put off until the following year (and if there is anything, it can be changed). I think the decision of the voters should be final and quickly implemented.
It would save us all this drama and nonsense going on now. It would quickly allow the new majority to begin working on its priorities. And it would get the dead-wood ex-Congresspersons to hell out of DC or at least off to a different part of it.
A lame duck Congress just has too much of an ability to do precisely what this one is attempting – pass party priorities that are not popular with the voters but for those who've been voted out of office, carry no penalty for supporting them. It's a can't lose for ideologues such as Pelosi and Reid who can push their agenda and count on certain votes that perhaps weren't necessarily votes they could count on before.
It makes no sense to me. But then there are a lot of things about government that make no sense.
Kill the lame duck.
So are Obama and the Democrats focused like a laser on jobs and the economy? Uh, no.
Here you have a lame duck Congress dominated by Democrats and a president who admits his party was "shellacked" in the midterm elections with a chance to partially redeem themselves and focus on the people's priority – jobs and the economy – and what do they do?
Well they make the repeal of DADT and passage of the DREAM act – purely political priorities – the legislation of choice.
Or to put it another way, they've chosen to double down and push their political agenda vs. heeding the message sent by American voters on November 2nd and pushing that aside to give jobs and the economy the priority.
Pure arrogance. But an indication of the fact that the administration has absolutely no real intention of "triangulating" anything or "pivoting" in any direction. The supposed "pragmatic" president shows his true ideologue colors.
This should be something the GOP captures and preserves in amber for 2012. This is precisely the worst thing Democrats could do, but apparently they simply can't help themselves. And that shouldn't surprise anyone. Harry Reid still presides over the Senate and what comes to the floor there and House Democrats just reelected the liberal leadership that cost them over 60 seats in the midterms.
But hey, it's their party, their strategy and their arrogance.
The GOP's job is to record and remind in 2012.
Congress and the coming lame duck session
If you want to know why we get stuck with bad law, the conduct of the 111th Congress might provide the perfect case study on the subject. On the surface you'd think, with Democratic majorities in both chambers and a Democratic president, that it would work like a well-oiled machine.
But that's not been the case. While Democrats have consistently tried to blame the problems of Congress on Republicans, most Americans understand that the GOP comes in for only a small part of the blame. Most of the problems with its lack of accomplishment fall directly in the lap of Democratic infighting and disagreement.
Even when Democrats had filibuster proof margins in both chambers, they only passed a portion of their agenda. Part of it is because they spent so much time and political capital on the health care reform abomination. That sort of sucked the air out of everything else. And, the election of Scott Brown to the Senate finally put Democrats there in a position that required they finally consider the opposition when crafting their legislation – a distasteful but necessary added requirement (they'd much rather fight among themselves and blame the Republicans who had absolutely no power to stop anything prior to Brown's election).
After wasting most of two years, the Democratic leadership is faced with two realities – the probability that they'll lose their House majority in the upcoming elections (as well as some seats in the Senate) and only a lame duck session remaining to pass legislation they deem critical to their agenda. That leaves them with about 6 weeks to jam pending legislation through the Congressional process (at the end of the session, any legislation not acted upon is in effect "killed" and must be introduced again in the next Congress). In the Senate that means these Democratic priorities:
Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) wants the Senate to consider a package of tax-relief extensions he has been working on all year.
Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, is intent on passing a renewable electricity standard.
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, says his cybersecurity bill should also come up for a vote, while Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, has called for ratification of the New START arms-control treaty with Russia.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) says he intends to hold Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to a promise to schedule a vote on legislation that would bar the Environmental Protection Agency from taking action to curb carbon gas emissions for two years.
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the vice chairman of the Senate Democratic Conference, told reporters Friday that leaders would also bring up a bill to address Chinese currency manipulation.
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, hopes Congress will pass food-safety legislation Reid tried to bring to the floor last week. Democratic leaders pulled the bill even though they could have had enough votes to stop a Republican filibuster.
And, of course there's the Defense Appropriations bill to which Reid has added the contentious DREAM act and the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, assuring quick passage won't happen. None of the legislation listed is "minor". All deserve extensive review and debate. Neither of those things will happen as the Senate leadership tries every parliamentary trick in the book to limit both and push the legislation through before the end of the lame duck session. The House is no better and actually would add to the legislative backlog in the Senate if it does manage to pass its education bill.
Also remember that this Congress, for the first time in anyone's memory, will not be passing a budget, but has punted that responsibility (or shirked it if you prefer) to the next Congress. They have cobbled together and passed a CR (continuing resolution) which will keep government functioning and spending that 7 million dollars a minute it has become so used to spending.
This Congress has been, in my estimation, one of the worst in history. Not because they didn't pass megatons of legislation – I'm actually fine with fewer laws and less intrusion. Instead its about what they did pass and how they passed it. Additionally its about what they didn't do (they're responsible to present a budget but didn't because of political consideration – that's shirking your duty where I come from) and what they're about to do (try to cram mountains of legislation through in a 6 week funnel which will most likely be ill considered, undebated, costly and poor in quality – although if ObamaCare is any indication, not lacking in quantity.
This isn't how it is supposed to work. It is, however, all the reason you need to change the leadership and majority party. I remember Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi charging that George Bush was "incompetent". Their leadership of the 111th Congress has redefined the word.

The 114th annual convention from Dec. 7-10, 2015, will mark the seventh time that Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center will play host to the Baseball Winter Meetings. In addition to this year, Opryland was also the site of the annual convention in 1983, 1989, 1998, 2002 and 2007.
"Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center is proving, again this week, to be a great place to host our annual convention and the thousands of people from the baseball community," said Pat O'Conner, president of Minor League Baseball.
"The ability to host almost all of our attendees, events and meetings under one roof makes it a very attractive and efficient location for the Baseball Winter Meetings."
Next year's Baseball Winter Meetings will take place from Dec. 9-12 at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Fla., which also hosted the event in 2010 and 2006. The annual convention will be headquartered at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront in 2014, from Dec. 8-11.

Is MLB.com ripping off fans?
Just when ByrnesBlogger1 was thinking about buying some D'Backs games, this showed up on the 'Net:
by Matt Watson
You know how MLB.com makes it possible to purchaseand download full games to watch on your computer? Be wary, fellow
fans, because despite what you may read on their site, you're not
"purchasing" anything at all; you're merely renting a license to watch
the games, a license that may be revoked at any time…
ByrnesBlogger1, No Fan of DRM.
2 Comments
Why am I not surprised? Of course it's all about ripping off the fans. This is hardly unique to MLB, sad to say, it's the norm in our ubercapitalist society. Even Adam Smith would be appalled at how capitalism has been converted into a massive Ponzi scheme, one that is about to collapse like a house of cards.
Speaking of ripoffs, I just heard that Byrnes signed a deal with XM radio. Which means, because I don't have it, I don't get to hear his show. I'm really getting smegging tired of being told that I've got to pay to watch others play, and it's getting out of hand. Got to pay for DTV to see most of the games, got to pay MLB to get online games, and now, got to pay to get radio!
HEY BYRNES, GET A SMEGGING CLUE. Most Americans are getting smacked hard, gas, food, housing prices are skyrocketing, and most of us don't have unlimited funds. Ticket prices are outrageous, and I really don't want to live in a nation where only the rich matter.
When I moved to SF, about the time you were born, there were jobs and cheap rents. No homeless. Now, we've got an overbuilt, ugly city, with poverty that is more like the 3rd World.
Oh, sure, YOU'RE doing well, aincha? Oh, yeah, so just forget about all the people out there, YOUR FANS, who aren't so lucky, and remembre that you ain't all that, and are so lucky to be where you are . .. CAN YOU SAY HUBRIS?
What goes around comes around, pal.
And speaking of karma, pal, I hate chickenhawks who pimp dead soldiers and won't serve themselves. Going to fundraisers with your athlete buddies to "support" the Pat Tillman Foundation is pure wankery. He had the courage of his convictions.
And you?
You know, here in SF, we are getting the first of the Gulf War vets on the streets. I'm sure Pat would prefer that you help ACTUAL SOLDIERS who are returning to a nation that won't reward their sacrifice, they aren't getting medical care even. Pat is dead. They are the walking wounded.
And you know why most of them are serving? Not just out of patriotism, but it's the only way they can afford to go to college.
YOU, OTOH, had an athletic scholarship, so you got a free education, not that you got much educating (OK, it was UCLA) and those poor soldiers end up dead, mutilated, with their souls and psyches torn apart, by the policies of your fellow chickenhawk, Bush.
Hubris, baby, find out what it means, and why when it catches up with you, why THIS fan of yours, who supported you when no one else did, won't be there.

Use Teradata Professional Services to guide your data warehouse implementation.
by David R. Schiller
Forward-thinking companies realize the importance of an enterprise data warehouse (EDW). They know it is required for obtaining deep operational and strategic insights into their businesses. But organizations differ on how difficult they think it is to implement a data warehouse.
Some are reluctant to begin the project because of its scope. Others are convinced they can handle the job internally, unaware that developing a data warehouse is different from working on any other type of technology project in its complexity and level of involvement.
Most companies realize they require the services and industry-leading expertise of an accomplished source to guide them through each step of the process.
Left alone, many data warehouse implementations run the risk of failure because of obstacles like competing projects, bad hardware architecture and improper design, or a scope too large to achieve timely results. Data quality issues and other broken operational processes can also impede progress.
Furthermore, many organizations lack corporate vision and support. Executives who don't fully appreciate that their data is an important corporate asset can delay funding and hinder governance policies.
To overcome these adversities and ensure the successful completion of a data warehouse project, best practices suggest taking advantage of the assistance offered by a knowledgeable and experienced group of service providers. The Teradata Professional Services team, with its group of consultants committed to the success of their customers, can work with your company and help manage your data warehouse project. The team has implemented data warehouse projects worldwide in multiple industries. From the knowledge and experience gained through these engagements, the team has developed a proven methodology that is adaptable to any organization.
Before any project is started, its scope must be determined, a plan developed, and the necessary tools and work force established. Your Teradata Professional Services partner will work with you and your team to create a project worksheet detailing each step and task of the implementation process. The worksheet takes into account the expertise your organization has on its enterprise data, business rules and success goals; outside assistance from other third-party vendors; and the overall product and implementation knowledge the Teradata Professional Services team can provide. In the end, you're given complete flexibility on whether the task ownership and resource staffing are provided by your company, Teradata or other third-party organizations. (See figure.)
When evaluating the scope of the project, you and your team leaders will consult with your Teradata Professional Services partner and the Teradata solution architect about whether the project needs to be broken down into more manageable segments. The desired outcome for each 90- to 120-day iteration will help determine the tasks, resource requirements, recommended skill sets and assignment duration.
Accommodations are provided in the plan for project ramp-up and ramp-down; closeout, internal and external costs; and scheduling considerations such as vacations and holidays. A section enables you to track assumptions until they are agreed upon or otherwise resolved.
From this worksheet, statements of work and project plans are created. Not all personnel will start at once, as some tasks aren't undertaken until later. For example, logical data modeling occurs before physical data modeling, which is needed to complete the design of the extract, transform and load (ETL) processes, and so on. Some activity overlap will occur, but the worksheet can be used to generate the appropriate staffing schedule.
Keep in mind that before any external team members are brought on board, you will need adequate lead time to obtain for them the necessary approvals for security accounts, access to the Internet and appropriate facilities, and to establish physical workspaces.

The Teradata Professional Services partner and the project manager will collaborate on preparation details in a phase called project on-boarding. These activities include creating a document of the complete team roster, a project overview and plan, and the current architecture and tools used. The project manager sends the document to the team in advance. Preparing and updating the team with background information and task lists before the project starts is invaluable. It keeps the project on schedule and the team members informed without spending client time at the onset.
Team meetings are then held so each function can be explained in detail and information on customer requirements, expectations and protocol can be distributed and discussed. Through this ramp-up process, team members gain an understanding of your company and the project goals and objectives.
Throughout the project's life cycle, circumstances will arise that could expand the scope of the project. When this happens, the Teradata Professional Services partner or program manager will identify the new requirements or additional data sources. This information is used to understand the impact to the current schedule or cost. After these are addressed with your management team, a formal change control process is created to modify the statement of work, the project plan and the resources that are engaged, if necessary.
Regarding each member of the task force as an essential component of the team is conducive to a successful project, whether the person is from your organization, Teradata or another third-party vendor. The table shows a breakdown of the typical team members from each of these organizations.
An example of a 15-week project, which provides for two weeks of planning, is shown below. The chart shows how each team member is involved at specific times depending on the task and area of expertise. For instance, the Teradata representative sets up and configures the database the week before the project officially begins. This continues on through the first "actual" week. The ETL is designed in week three by a Teradata team member, but your in-house and third-party ETL developers don't get involved until four weeks later.
With the guidance provided by a flowchart or workstream from the Teradata Solutions Methodology, all parties work together through the different phases of each step in the project. Identify, analyze, design, develop, deploy and improve are the phases, which drill down on each workstream for specific activities, collateral, templates and tools that are necessary to achieve each step's objective.
For example, for the data integration phase of an EDW project, data gathering and cleansing requirements are developed before the data loading process can be created and performed. All data standards must be established in order to build a physical data model. Tasks required to build a high-level data integration architecture are included. And, of course, testing is essential to considering this phase of the data warehouse project ready for production.
Many IT professionals plan a data warehouse based on their experiences with other IT projects. But building a data warehouse is much more extensive and intricate, and it needs its own development strategy. A good methodology helps ensure a project's quality, consistency and timeliness.
The patent-pending Teradata Solutions Methodology is a collection of integrated processes, customized tools and quantifiable metrics—from initial strategic planning to technical implementation—that brings value to every piece of the design and implementation. User training and ongoing support are provided to ensure a smooth transition and expert backing.
Developed out of more than 23 years of experience implementing data warehouses, the Teradata Solutions Methodology is continually refined with best practices learned from the world's most successful data warehouse projects.
After a data warehouse is installed, there are always new sources of data to integrate, additional business questions to ask and changes to regulatory requirements that organizations need to quickly address. Your data warehouse should enable your company to successfully use that data, answer those questions and breathe easier about meeting regulations.
To fully utilize the tools and applications available, you must be knowledgeable about your data warehouse environment and confident in your ability to manage the system. For that reason, a driving point of the Teradata Professional Services philosophy is to make its customers more self-sufficient after the implementation is complete but before its team leaves the customer's site.
Part of any Teradata Professional Services engagement includes a variety of mechanisms to transfer knowledge, such as:
Additionally, for two weeks after the project has gone live, a senior-level Teradata consultant remains to ensure continuity of processes, performance and expectations. Teradata also offers a full suite of managed services that can be tailored to your company's needs, providing another option for ongoing support and access to the entire community of Teradata experts.
Choosing the right consultant is key to the success of your data warehousing project. A professional services team with the right skills, knowledge, methodology and best practices can save many hours of unnecessary delay and rework. Teradata consultants average 12 years of experience in data warehousing, and many are highly sought technical and thought leaders in their fields.
It's undeniable that greater business value and insight are gained when your data is transformed into an asset. Working with Teradata Professional Services, your organization can expect a high EDW implementation success rate, and your IT staff will become more self-sufficient, confident and knowledgeable about the data warehouse system and what it can provide your company.
David R. Schiller, CCP, is a certified Teradata Professional with more than 27 years of various IT experience as a practitioner, consultant and executive. He has been with Teradata since 1997 and currently manages Teradata Professional Services marketing programs.

We recently were informed that the stencil paper that we have been using for years contains lanolin . We have spoken with the company and confirmed the contents, but as there are no workable alternatives to the stencils that we use, we are reluctantly removing our label as a "vegan" tattoo shop until we can find an alternative to this product. As a shop that is trying to find responsible and ethical ways of providing this service in a non-vegan world we treat this business as a community effort and very much appreciate those who bring this sort of information to to our attention. In the meantime all of the inks, soaps, and ointments we use are still vegan, we just don't feel right advertising our shop as such until this matter is resolved. We're really sorry that this has escaped our attention and for those of you that received a tattoo from our shop in the past we'd apologize for unknowingly misleading you. The stencil washes off after the tattoo procedure so anything that is still in your body is vegan. Thanks for your understanding and continued support.

At the Administration for Children and Families, we help to promote the social and economic well-being of millions who are struggling to get into the middle class.
ACF administers more than 60 programs that include family assistance, Head Start, child welfare and other programs for families and children.
Our efforts to help lift people out of poverty got extra help from the Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law by President Obama in 2010. This bold new legislation created comprehensive health insurance reforms that will take full effect in 2014. The law also provided crucial funding for health programs to help most in need and served by ACF programs.
In ACF the Affordable Care Act funds:
Anticipating this growth, the Affordable Care Act gave ACF's Office of Family Assistance funding for 32 HPOG programs throughout the nation. Grantees that educate this future workforce partner with community organizations to enhance supportive services for HPOG students, such as transportation, dependent care and temporary housing.
As you can see below, for many of these future medical professionals, this opportunity is a second chance at life.
ACF is working hard with communities of color to help promote these great opportunities provided by the Affordable Care Act. For more HPOG success stories, visit the HPOG Community.
George L. Askew, M.D., serves as the first chief medical officer for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In this role he provides expert advice and consultation to the assistant secretary for children and families on the development of plans, programs, policies, and initiatives that address the health needs and strengths of vulnerable children and families

The conference will be held at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, 251 Mercer St, New York NY 10012.
More specific directions about how to get to the conference hall by plane/train/automobile are available on the Courant Institute website.
New York is an expensive city. As students we are always on a budget and the best solution would be to find a place to sleep for free with on top meeting new people. Couchsurfing is the solution. We have created a Couchsurf group to facilitate attendees for the 2011 Free Culture conference in finding an accommodation. Couchsurfing is an excellent way to meet new local people, have a place to crash for free and learning about a place from the eyes of people who live there. The mentality of this community closely reflects the ideas and ideals behind Free Culture, because sharing is caring.
The Couchsurfing group for SFC NYC is here
There are also various sites that list affordable hostels in the area:
