Marjorie Cain
Marjorie Marie Cain, 96, of French Creek, died Sunday, Jan. 12, 2014, at her home. She was born on July 27, 1917, in Clearwater, Neb., to Oliver Morton Hays and Sylvia Nelson Hays.
At six weeks, she moved with her parents to Petersburg, Neb., where she lived and went through school. She lived in Petersburg until her marriage on Nov. 2, 1947, to John Davis Cain of West Virginia, who preceded her in death on July 17, 2012.
She and her husband had four children, Mark (Marianne) of Philadelphia, Pa., Warren (Jackie) of North Carolina, Sharon of Morgantown and Laird (Alice) of Buckhannon.
They had six grandchildren, Julie (Doyle Tenney), Savannah (Cody Servetas), Daniel, Patrick (LaVetta), Taylor and Logan; two step grandsons, Adam and Lance Grandis of Florida; and four great- grandchildren, Gavin and Kiara Tenney, Caleb Servetas and Zarek Cain.
Marjorie's other relatives were in the Midwest and southern California, with nephews and nieces in Nebraska, West Virginia and Maryland.
Marjorie graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan University at Lincoln and later attended summer schools at USC in Los Angeles, the University of Chicago, and the University of Denver.
She taught high school English and music at Carson, Nev., and at her home high school. She taught ninth grade English and 14 rooms of elementary music at Belen, N.M., and taught four years of high school English and journalism at Ely, Neb., for about eight years before marriage.
The Cains lived in southern West Virginia, Minford, Ohio, then returned to French Creek, where they built their present home. In retirement, they spent many years in Sarasota, Fla.
Both held many offices in the French Creek Methodist Church and later when it became the United Methodist Church. Marjorie was the church pianist and organist for many years, "retiring" when she was 88 but continuing to play special music occasionally. They also participated in other local community service. Throughout her life, Marjorie was active with church, Bible schools, youth Sunday school classes and special programs.
The family will receive friends on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014, from 3 to 6 p.m. at Heavner and Cutright Funeral Chapel. The funeral will be held on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2014, at 10 a.m. at the French Creek United Methodist Church with the Rev. Nancy Killingsworth and the Rev. Robert F. Heavner officiating. Interment will follow in the French Creek Memorial Gardens.
Online condolences may be extended to the Cain family at www.heavnerandcutright.com.
The Cain family has entrusted Heavner and Cutright Funeral Chapel with the arrangements.

Research and Editorial Activities
The Ethics Program in the Department of Psychiatry at UT Southwestern is home to ongoing research and numerous editorial activities. Faculty research interests are diverse and often reach across the disciplines.
John Z. Sadler, M.D.
Works in Progress
- Vice and Psychiatric Diagnosis
- One of the important insights from my 2005 book, Values and Psychiatric Diagnosis (Oxford University Press), is that psychiatric diagnostic categories in the DSMs are often "vice-laden," meaning that concepts and criteria have social meanings involving wrongful thought and conduct and even criminal conduct. In this current follow-up project, I ask questions about the significance of vice-laden psychiatric categories, why some vice-laden categories (such as conduct disorder or pedophilia) appear, and why other vices do not, and what, if anything, should be done about vice-laden psychiatric concepts. This is a major book project. This publication provides a nice overview: Sadler, J.Z. 2008. Vice and the diagnostic classification of mental disorders: A philosophical case conference. Philosophy, Psychiatry & Psychology 15(1):1-17.
Current Projects
- Medical Students' Dark Hours of The Soul
- I doubt this will be the final title to this qualitative research project, but this project, done in collaboration with the UT Southwestern Colleges Directors group, will be examining hundreds of deidentified third-year medical students' reflective essays, which focus on ethical and professional issues (positive and negative) encountered on various clerkship sites. Currently we are learning to use the CDC's AnSWR software and will be reading and coding prevailing themes raised by the students in their essays. We hope to capture a near-complete sample of the hundreds of essays completed by our students on their third-year clerkship rotations.

Richland, WA - In direct support of Hanford cleanup and the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) accelerated cleanup initiatives, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Richland Operations Office (RL) is teaming with the Site services contractor, Mission Support Alliance, LLC (MSA), CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company and Washington River Protection Services Company to implement a WiMAX-based communications infrastructure at Hanford to augment the existing fiber optic and Wi‑Fi-based systems.
Wi-Fi and WiMAX are both considered last mile technologies that carry signals from telecommunications backbones (in this case hubs or access points) along the comparatively short distance to the users' mobile device(s). WiMAX, however, provides much greater wireless range and connection quality than does Wi-Fi.
The WiMAX system deployed at Hanford provides a large-capacity, secure, high-performance wireless network to serve as the transport vehicle to move information (data, voice, and video) from one place to another across the 586‑square-mile site. Compared to Hanford's current systems, the WiMAX system will support a minimum ten-fold increase in users per access point, from approximately 20 to 200 or more. It also increases distances that wireless signals can travel by more than 50 times.
The WiMAX implementation is a component of an overall Site strategy to enhance field automation and increase workforce productivity by providing workers in remote locations with access to the applications, data, and services required to perform all aspects of their work. For example, work package instructions, procedures, and safety information is available electronically in the field to supervisors and crafts people executing work. Work completion and reporting can now be performed in remote field locations, precluding the need to drive to a central office to perform the same tasks.
"With the WiMAX implementation, the utilization of wireless technologies and applications to streamline processes at Hanford increases exponentially and is in direct support of Green IT initiatives and cost savings," says Frank Armijo, MSA Director of Information Management.
Already deployed across approximately 25% of the Site, the WiMAX solution has been installed in five Project Managers' vehicles, allowing more "hands-on" time in the field. The WiMAX infrastructure has eliminated the requirement to install fiber optic cabling in remote job sites, saving DOE hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless man hours, and preventing the creation of new waste streams disturbance of sensitive ground. The technology is also being used for monitoring, management, and control of systems in remote radio repeater facilities at Hanford.
Additional wireless innovations implemented at Hanford include the Wireless Wind and Solar Powered Platforms (WWASPP). WWASPPs, a Green technology designed and deployed at Hanford, combines alternative energy sources with wireless capabilities to enhance safety and performance in remote monitoring and work execution. WWASPPs have been deployed in Hanford's tank farms and other radiological and/or hazardous areas, keeping exposure ALARA and reducing surveillance costs.
Future activities made possible by the WiMAX implementation include remote monitoring of groundwater wells, cocooned facilities, electrical utilities, or other sites slated for long-term surveillance and maintenance. With the WiMAX platform in place, data can be continually transmitted, monitored, and recorded without having to engineer in-ground solutions through contaminated areas.
Hanford Fire, Patrol, and Emergency Response personnel will benefit as the technology is leveraged to provide mobility based solutions in the field to improve monitoring, communications, and event response. When fully deployed, the WiMAX system will transport voice, video, and data between an event scene, remote incident command posts, and a central command or response center. Laptop computers in Hanford Patrol or Fire Department vehicles will display and transmit audio and video from an event scene or while in transit, allowing personnel to assess conditions and make decisions rapidly and effectively.
"The implementation of the WiMAX infrastructure will provide a tremendous value to the DOE's Environmental Management Program in support of key cleanup projects and ARRA projects that needed quick command centers and remote field worker automation. Also the DOE Legacy Management Program will benefit with more Hanford facilities turned over for surveillance and maintenance faster than anticipated," says Armijo. "We are excited to be a part of this transformation."

Seventeen-year-old Clifton John Russell IV and 19-year-old Michael Shay Graves are charged with the capital murder of Muhammad Ahmad in January.
Neither Shay nor Graves seemed taken aback by the severity of their situation.
Judge Mark Price decided the trial for each will be specially set for sometime next year.
Price also approved the use of investigators for the case and granted permission for Graves to have two attorneys from the metroplex represent him.
Russell will be represented by Jim Rasmussen, chief public defender for Wichita County.
Surveillance video shows two men entering Mo's Grocery and one of them points what appears to be a gun at Muhammad Ahmad.
Ahmad was shot once in the chest during what police say was an attempted robbery.
He died later at the hospital.
Russell was arrested the day after the shooting, and Graves was arrested a day after that.
Police say Russell admitted to shooting Ahmad and that Graves admitted standing at the door as a lookout during the robbery.
Both Graves and Russell are in the Wichita County Jail on bonds totaling more than $1.5 million each.

Citigroup shareholders in the US have voted against the bank's plan to pay chief executive Vikram Pandit US$15 million.
The shareholder vote, mandated by the "say on pay" legislation under the Dodd-Frank Act, was taken at the firm's annual meeting in Dallas.
Given absentee votes are counted as rejections, 55% of shareholders were considered to have voted against the proposed compensation, which the bank had argued was appropriate to attract and retain talent.
The vote is non-binding, although in a statement issued after the vote, the bank said it would take the sentiment into consideration.
"Citi's board of directors takes the shareholder vote seriously, and along with senior management will consult with representative shareholders to understand their concerns," the bank wrote.
The move follows years of poor stock-market performance at Citigroup, whose shares have lost 93% of their value since 2006, partly attributed to the billions of shares issued to repay a 2008-2009 government bailout of US$45bn.
This week the bank announced first quarter profit of US$2.9bn, a result that beat expectations on the back of a pick-up in business from international clients and an increase in customers repaying loans on time.
Revenues were US$19.4bn, down 2% from the same quarter year on year.

Layout of the room.
Only hotel that did not provide bottled water in the room. Had to purchase from reception.
This hotel is the best we stayed at in all Mexico for a couple of reasons. The staff were forever helpful, friendly and spoke very good english also the hotel itself is beautiful and kept very clean. It is also very close to Centro and Paseo de Montejo.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

I need suggestions for Eric's Bad Movies! Here are the guidelines, and what I've already covered. http://bit.ly/ds6P4g
Ever since Eric's Bad Movies debuted at Film.com, almost two years ago, you guys have been extremely helpful in suggesting suitable films. In fact, of the 95 movies I've covered as of this week, probably 15 of them were ones I'd never even heard of until you recommended them. This puts me in the unusual position of being grateful to have discovered "Gymkata," for example, a movie that I doubt had previously ever produced positive feelings of any kind.
It's getting harder to find good material — especially as the list of films I've already covered grows and grows — and so I come to you again now for more suggestions. Post them in the comments, or feel free to send me an e-mail or a tweet. The guidelines are below, along with a list of what I've already covered (including tomorrow's entry! See if you can spot it among the already-rans!).
Thanks for your help! Eric's Bad Movies is really a community effort, except that I'm the only one who gets paid for it.
Guidelines for Eric's Bad Movies
1. It needs to be really bad. Films that are merely mediocre are a waste of time.
2. The film should be considered bad by most people, not just you. I don't want to have to convince the reader that the movie is bad; I want us to be on the same page from the get-go. I know it's hard to gauge a consensus sometimes, but use common sense. No matter how much you happen to hate "Titanic" personally, surely you understand that yours is not the prevailing opinion.

Silent Night, Pirate Style
In honor of my ongoing series, "Posts that have absolutely nothing to do with baseball except for the tangential mention of the word 'Baseball' in them," I bring you today's entry. At least this one has something to do with sports.
Hey, it's a step in the right direction. And it's even kind of Christmasy. Not only that, it could be fun to try at a baseball game. Imagine getting every fan in attendance to agree to be silent up until the home team scores their first run of the game. As a side note, I recommend that Pirates fans choose a slightly different idea. That could be a very silent night otherwise.

RSBS Presents: Pain
My morose and oft despondent colleague, Mr. Krause, recently addressed our mutual passion for the sport of long distance running, and in doing so, alluded to the fact that such passionate loyalty requires a certain tolerance for pain.
Indeed, running begets pain. But said pain often calluses the soul, prepares it for the ultimate fight — whether physical or mental — and breeds a certain unparalleled toughness that can guide one through any hardship. This I know.
Pain is a binding precursor to ecstasy. Without it, we wouldn't know a good thing if it hit us in the face… which, would be ironic in this case, because — depending on what the object hitting us in the face is — that could possibly hurt.
But I digress.
Perhaps the following irony deficient examples will help better illustrate my point:
Jayson Werth
(aka Nipple Abrasions — minor yet aggravatingly debilitating)
Congratulations, Washington Nationals, on signing Alfonso Soriano 2.0! No, seriously, I really am happy for you. I mean, y'all have had some painfully troublesome moments in your six year history… y'know, like, sucking and all. Then Strasburg went down… Dunn got away… and now you dole out $18 million a year for SEVEN YEARS to your division rival's 32 year-old third fiddle. Um… okay. The bad news is: you got screwed. The good news is: it'll be over in seven years. By then you will be so learned, so deteriorated, so callused by anguish that every little victory will seem colossal. Maybe you'll even smile. Maybe.
'Merican Politics
(aka Plantar Fasciitis — excruciatingly biting, often chronic)
Eight years of Dubya. A war in Afghanistan. A war in Iraq. The continued waste of an asinine war on drugs, on poverty, on progression in general. The complete upheaval of congress from one extreme to another, to another, then back to where it started again. We don't have healthcare, we do have healthcare, we don't have healthcare. We've no jobs. Our farmers are forced to grow crap crops to make corn syrup which is then injected into all your food so that you are prone to overeat, become obese, get diabetes and die. Yeah. That's some real pain right there; makes Canada sound like the Playboy Mansion. Ms. Teen South Carolina, you with me?
The Pittsburgh Pirates
(aka Hitting the Wall or "Bonking" — worst case scenario your body loses the ability to function due to depleted glycogen stores)
Two words: Matt Diaz. Wow. Just… wow. Dear readers, when signing Matt Diaz is a big deal, you know your team is in trouble. In the Pirates' case, they've been in trouble since 1992, they show zero signs of improvement, and life is just gonna get more and more painful for the handful of baseball fans left in Pittsburgh.
Just remember:
"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."
My advice? Go Steelers!
Hate me 'cuz I bring da pain, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
The WikiLeaking of Major League Baseball
Vigilantes! Whistle-blowers! And spies!
Oh my!
Don't worry, dear readers, RSBS is on it. Sure, the WikiLeaks crew seems to be focusing their efforts on outing wrongs and ending wars, but don't forget: a lot of these folks are US Americans (I think?) and after they solve enough military crises and torture pandemics, they're gonna turn their attention to what really matters:
Luckily, for you, we have the inside track. Of course, such sensitive information doesn't come easily, and It is important to remember that many RSBS interns perished in order to bring you the truth.
Please. Be respectful of that.
And do with it what you will. After reading the following information, I advise you to lock all the doors, close all the windows and drink some beer. You'll feel better.
Derek Jeter is being courted by the Red Sox. And he is listening.
The Expos are not dead. They're frozen in carbonite until the Quebecois can be fooled into thinking they're watching hockey. Almost there.
Peter Gammons is Gepetto. For real.
The Pittsburgh Pirates' 1979 uniform combos were designed by embedded Russian spies hoping to kill the American public with ugliness. They almost succeeded… if it weren't for that damn Sister Sledge!!!
Contrary to popular belief, Desmond Jennings is NOT Carl Crawford. The Rays are making a mistake.
Jon Hamm loves the Cardinals. (Oh, that's not a secret? Of course not… everyone should love the Cardinals!)
The Cubs remain in a perpetual state of misery… because they can. Cubs fans keep coming back. For more.
Prince Fielder is prone to eating himself if left alone for more than 15 minutes at a time.
Yorvit Torrealba's name spelled backwards is Ablaerrot Tivory, which looks like a Prussian hybrid name. But it's not. It's Spanish. Backwards. Try it. You'll see.
And finally…
We know what Jayson Werth did last summer… and it wasn't Chase Utley's wife!!!
Hate me 'cuz I get the facts. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
Pirate Exercises?
Notice how none of them include baseball?
No surprise there.
And I know my own Redbirds had their problems with these pesky losers, but the Pirates are 16-60 on the road so far this season and I haven't bashed them in quite a while, so… yeah.
Hate me 'cuz my visual aids are top notch, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Although the Japanese no longer provide the same nightmare fodder that they did in the early 90's, the Chinese have more than made up for the loss. Sure, most of the population still lives in abject poverty but the country's economic might is ever increasing. More than that, with 1.2 billion people, how do we know they aren't creating an army of Yao Ming-like super soldiers?
If you think I'm just fear-mongering, think again. The Chinese have developed a missile that can hit a moving aircraft carrier. And who has the aircraft carriers? Yeah, that'll keep you up at night. Did I mention that there are 1.2 billion of them? Oh. Right. Sorry.
We should probably keep in mind that the Chinese aren't the only Asian nation with a billion plus people at their disposal. And beyond taking over call centers and consulting companies, India has made a strong move into our national pastime with their exportation of Rinku and Dinesh as well. Ok, strong might be a bit of an overstatement since these guys haven't even made it through the Pirates' farm system. But you see my point.
However, if there's one area where we should truly fear the Indians, it's marriage. Not understanding the concept? I think this will make it very clear:
Repeat after me: I will not run away on my Indian girlfriend, I will not run away on my Indian girlfriend, I will not run away on my…..
Island Dreams
When people mention the Pittsburgh Pirates, you assume that nothing good can follow. But there are exceptions to that rule, at least if you believe Time magazine. Two weeks ago Time not only said the Pirates are doing something right, they also said the organization is an example to be followed.
It's no secret that MLB spends a lot of money looking for fresh talent overseas. Many of the greatest players in the game today and in the past are products of that search. MLB has harvested the fertile fields of the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Curacao (just to name a few) to give us players like Big Papi, Johan Santana and Andruw Jones. That is not going to stop.
But Time raises the alarmist cry, decrying the conditions in the DR and castigating teams for not providing the same level of living standards the writer claims exist for young players in the US. At the same time, the article gets a little schizophrenic, insinuating that the DR will go the way of PR if baseball decides to treat them the same way it now deals with the territory. The article claims, "After the U.S. commonwealth became subject to the draft in the (sic) 1989, the
number of Puerto Rican signees remained flat, while those in the D.R.
What I read in that, though, is that despite Puerto Rican players now going through the draft, the number entering MLB each year stayed constant. If anything, that seems to imply that the system worked. Puerto Ricans still made it to the majors, they just followed a route that ensured they got their fair share. And if you can play, you're going to get paid.
Look, it's no secret that many kids see sports as a way out of a bad situation. That's just as true in the US as it is in the DR. But do we crucify Nike for running basketball tournaments in the inner city where they can then get their hooks into promising young talent? Do you think Coach K runs a basketball camp each year out of the kindness of his heart? Both Nike and Krzyzewski realize that most of those kids are never going to make it, even at the collegiate level. And it's not like they're taking care of them when the inevitable happens and the dream of an NBA career shatters.
This is how sports operate. They offer the hope of a better future but that future is only available to a very select group. What happens in the DR is sad and most of these kids will never end up making it. But it's even more sad that the government of the DR can't provide basic services to its citizens and MLB is supposed to step in and fill the gap. At least baseball offers them a dream. That's a lot more than the Pirates offer their fans.
Special thanks to L for the article
Ken Lee, Interrupted
More than any other sport, baseball has a rich tradition of facing, and overcoming, the language barrier. Sometimes it leads to comical misunderstandings, sometimes it just leads to the comical stylings of Ozzie Guillen.
There are times, though, when the language barrier leads to a moment where you can only sit back, watch and then watch again. For instance, if you were watching Bulgarian TV in 2008, you might have seen this:
I have only one question. Who is this Ken Lee and how long until the Pirates sign him?
My Local Sports Authority "Gets It"
Indeed, dear readers, that is a teal colored Orioles cap. The logo, like the team, appears to be bleeding. And that is what all the kids are callin' cool these days.
I think.
Nevermind the fact that the O's start the second half of the season on a 4-game win streak. Nevermind that they're 5-5 in their last 10 games. Instead, let us focus on the big picture: they are a mighty 27 games behind the AL East leader.
And that ain't bad.
That's Pittsburgh Pirates bad.
Which, is about as bad as it gets.
So, if you're an Orioles fan (are there any of you left?), be proud; come on down to the UIC strip and pick ya up one of these bleeding teal Oriole hats. No one will make fun of you for it. I promise. In fact, donning one of these lids will just make you…
… cool.
Hate me 'cuz I'm with the part-time fashion police, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
Happy Friday!

Patty Barnes
Patty Barnes to appear at The Sandy River Spey Clave
Patty is a native Oregonian, having grown up in the coastal town of Lincoln
City where her father and brothers were all timber fallers. She spent a lot
of time outdoors and developed her natural instincts as a hunter and fisher.
Patty is pictured here above a couple of steelhead from the Deschutes River.
Patty landed her first fly caught steelhead in 1975. Since then she has
caught many, many of them. She neither wades deep or casts far. Instead she seems to charm the
fish to within range. Her eyesight in the outdoors is legendary. She will
see more wild animals and rising fish than nearly anyone. Her fishing skills
extend to trout and bass, and to both shallow and deep saltwater, where even
a100-pound sailfish has been vanquished by her fly fishing skills.
Her skills also extend to business where she is equal partner and CFO of one of the world's most successful fly fishing enterprises, The Fly Fishing Shop in Welches, Oregon.

The tragic story of a deadly Christmas Day fire in Connecticut took another sad turn after it was reported that the woman who survived attempted to kill herself. CBS 2 in New York and the New York Daily News report that Madonna Badger was hospitalized last week after a failed suicide attempt, but has been released and is "in a safe place." Badger's three young daughters and both her parents died after her home in Stamford, Connecticut, burned down in the early morning hours on December 25. CBS also reported yesterday that all the smoke detectors and fire extinguishers had been removed from the home and stored in the garage so that the house could be painted. Badger's boyfriend, Michael Borcina, was the only other survivor of the fire and was also the contractor overseeing the renovations being done on the home.

The Biggest Loser 4
Bryan Washington the twelfth contestant cut from 'The Biggest Loser 4'
By Christopher Rocchio, 11/28/2007
Bryan Washington was the last remaining member of the Red Team before his status as a weight-loss threat caught-up with him, causing the 29-year-old from Riverdale, GA to become the twelfth contestant cut from
The Biggest Loser
fourth season during last night's broadcast of the NBC reality competition series.
I got here
I weighed 346-pounds. Right now, I weigh 266-pounds," said an emotional Bryan following his ouster. "I changed my life in three months. I want everybody to know that I gave it my all. I laid it on the line hard. I'm proud that I never quit, and I'm not quitting on this. Overall,
The Biggest Loser
experience for me has just been great and I couldn't ask for anything more."
The Biggest Loser
twelfth episode began with the
seven remaining contestants
meeting host Alison Sweeney in the gym, and she revealed that the next Reward Challenge was voted on by fans via NBC's website. The four challenges fans could vote on were the 74 flight stair-climb from Season 1; the never-ending jump rope from Season 2; the pole-over-water from Season 2; and the endless escalator climb from Season 3. All the contestants then trained, unaware which challenge viewers had voted for.
The contestants then met Alison at a swimming pool with poles suspended above it, and she revealed the pole-over-water challenge received the most viewer votes. The challenge required each of the contestants to hold onto a pole suspended above a pool for as long as possible. The contestant who held on the longest would receive an all-inclusive vacation for four to Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf's all-season resort in Idaho.
Isabeau Miller, a 21-year-old from Franklin, TN, was the first to lose her grip on the pole and fall in the water, and she was followed by Neil Tejwani, a 25-year-old from Marblehead, MA; Nicole Michalik, a 26-year-old from Philadelphia, PA; Bryan; and Hollie Self, a 28-year-old from Phoenix, AZ.
Bill Germanakos, a 40-year-old from Long Island, NY, and Julie Hadden, a 34-year-old from Jacksonville, FL, were the two contestants left in the challenge. Bill tried to trash talk Julie, and was promptly heckled by the previously eliminated contestants who were watching from the sidelines. Julie eventually fell in the water and Bill won reward, adding the vacation to his already impressive list of prizes that includes
and a
new car
"What makes this prize so great -- and what makes me so happy -- is this is the vacation I promised my kids," said Bill. "And this year, I'm going to ski with them. This is just going to make them so happy... It really is."
All of the contestants then frolicked in the pool. Obviously oblivious to the numerous signs posted that warned against diving into shallow water, Nicole still dove headfirst into the shallow end of the pool. She scraped her chin and chipped her front teeth.
"Right now, we could kick a field goal threw it," joked Bryan.
Back at
The Biggest Loser
campus, Neil had to explain to Blue Team trainer Bob Harper that Nicole had chipped her tooth and was currently at the dentist. While Bob was upset it was cutting into Nicole's training time, he couldn't help but crack a joke when Neil showed him a picture highlighting the gap in her smile.
"She looks like some of my relatives back in Tennessee," commented Bob.
Nicole then returned to the campus.
"So I had to go to the dentist today. I was there for about four-and-a-half hours," explained Nicole. "They gave me temporary teeth."
The seven remaining contestants then met Dr. Jennifer Kerns -- a
The Biggest Loser
third-season contestant
-- as well as Dr. Robert Huizenga, who went over the progress being made by the fourth-season finalists from the start of the competition.
It was then time for the last-chance workouts, where Bob pushed Nicole extra hard because of the time she lost earlier in the week. Bob thought Nicole was "flying under the radar" and wasn't being perceived as a threat by the other contestants.
Hollie was having trouble with Black Team trainer Jillian Michaels. Hollie said she was having "stress-level issues" due to ankle problems she was experiencing, and she thought Jillian took that as meaning she couldn't workout as hard. Bryan played some basketball with Red Team trainer Kim Lyons.
The Biggest Loser
twelfth weigh-in commenced. The two contestants with the lowest percentage of weight-loss would find themselves below the yellow line and be up for elimination.
"I just don't want to be below the yellow line," said Bryan. "That's all. That's the name of the game right now. You've got two weeks to stay above the yellow line... It definitely would change my life to be in the finals."
Bryan started the week at 270 and lost four pounds for a 1.48% weight-loss percentage.
"It's not as high as I was hoping for this week," opined Bryan. "I worked hard... I don't know what to say. I hope it's enough to stay above [the yellow line]."
Isabeau started the week at 234 and lost four pounds for a 1.71% weight-loss percentage; Bill began at 228 and shed six pounds for a 2.63% weight-loss percentage; Nicole started at 218 and dropped six pounds for a 2.75% weight-loss percentage; Hollie began at 204 and lost three pounds for a 1.47% weight-loss percentage; Julie started at 176 and dropped five pounds for a 2.84% weight-loss percentage; and Neil started at 303 and lost five pounds for a 1.65% weight-loss percentage.
Hollie and Bryan were the two contestants with the lowest percentage of weight-loss, and thus would be up for elimination.
"Now that I know it's Hollie and I below the yellow line, I'll talk to everyone in the house and see what's going on," said Bryan. "But because I think everyone perceives me as the bigger threat between the two of us, it's definitely a huge possibility I'll be going home tomorrow."
Bryan also wasn't relishing the opportunity of telling Kim that her last remaining Red Team member could be going home.
"It's not anything that I'm looking forward to, especially knowing how hard both of us worked," he said. "So to have to break that information to her is definitely going to be tough. If I'm eliminated, I don't know what's going to happen to Kim. We're the last two."
Since Hollie is an original Black Team member along with Bill, Julie and Isabeau, Bryan was aware that the majority of the votes wouldn't be on his side. However he still lobbied for himself and tried to downplay his standing as a threat. But then he basically said his goodbyes to everyone before going upstairs to pack, sensing the end of his time on campus was near.
The tough part then came as Bryan had to tell Kim he was up for elimination.
"Oh God... What a nightmare," said Kim. "I can't believe you're below the yellow line. I cannot believe it... I mean it's not good. It's not good at all. Obviously everyone here is going to see you as the bigger threat."
"Yeah," replied Bryan, "With the Black Team having the majority vote..."
"Yeah," answered Kim. "We're screwed."
Bryan gushed that Kim helped him put "actual weight loss into real life." He had a hard time expressing how grateful he was for her help.
"I definitely have a new lease on life," he said. "I'm at the start of being a new person."
The contestants then gathered for the elimination ceremony -- and while Neil voted to boot Hollie -- Isabeau, Bill and Julie all voted to oust Bryan, who was the last Red Team member eliminated from the competition.
"Yeah, that's the one thing that does sting a little bit," said Bryan. "That I played a part in
The Biggest Loser
history that wasn't good... One team being totally eliminated or extinct from the game. I fought as hard as I could I think to keep it right here, but it just wasn't in the cards. For everyone who's been on the Red Team from years passed, I apologize..."

This ain't your daddy's TSR (but his name's on the cover)
Luke Gygax and E. Gary Gygax Jr, sons of Dungeons & Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax have announced they have formed TSR Games. The company's first, brave, foray into the market will be a print publication: Gygax Magazine with a very familiar logo. Apparently D&D owner Wizards of the Coast (and its owners, Hasbro) the last trademarked "TSR" for a game company in 2003, opening the door for the Brothers Gygax to scoop up the name for their company Hexagonist Publishing LLC on May 25, 2011.

monsters are people too!
12-year-old uses Dungeons & Dragons to help scientist dad with his research: Cognitive scientist Alan Kingstone wanted to test whether people look at each others' eyes or simply to the center of faces. Some had suggested an answer would be impossible to discern because humans' eyes are in the center of their faces. But Alan's son, Julian, a fan of D&D, told his father about D&D monster characters that have eyes in unusual places, such as on their hands or tail. "[Julian suggested] if you just showed them these images, you could find out whether they are looking for the eyes or not. I thought, actually, that's a very good idea," Kingstone said (summarized from Cosmos). The paper describing the results - "Monsters are people too" - was published in the British Royal Society journal Biology Letters this month, with 14-year-old Julian named as the lead author.

"just numbers on a piece of paper"
I do not want to spend too much time beating a dead war-horse, but your average D&D game consists of a group of white players acting out how their white characters encounter and destroy orcs and goblins, who are, as a race evil, uncivilized, and dark-skinned. To quote Steve Sumner's essay again, "Unless played very carefully, Dungeons & Dragons could easily become a proxy race war, with your group filling the shoes of the noble white power crusaders seeking to extinguish any orc war bands or goblin villages they happened across." I would argue with Sumner's use of the phrase "could become," and say that unless played very carefully, D&D usually becomes a proxy race war. Any adventurer knows that if you see an orc, you kill it. You don't talk to it, you don't ask what it's doing there - you kill it, since it's life is worth less than the treasure it carries and the experience points you'll get from the kill. If filmed, your average D&D campaign would look something like Birth of a Nation set in Greyhawk.- Race in Dungeons & Dragons by Chris van Dyke, a powerpoint talk given at Nerd Nite. Via Ta-Nehisi Coates' blog where there's a smart discussion going on about the essay.
D&D gains another critic...
Teens in Israel need to find a new hobby: Incoming recruits to Israel's Defense Forces (Tzahal) who divulge playing Dungeons & Dragons are being flagged with low security clearance and psychological disorders. New guidelines are in place that limit D&D hobbyists from being considered for sensitive army positions such as Sayeret Mat'Kal, one of the most elite designations of Tzahal. Why does the IDF believe the game is so dangerous?: "These people have a tendency to be influenced by external factors which could cloud their judgment, a military official says. "They may be detached from reality or have a weak personality – elements which lower a person's security clearance, allowing them to serve in the army, but not in sensitive positions." Many find this policy inexplicable, and are turning to humor to aleviate the ridiculousness.

About biographical information
This player has not hit any home runs.
Much of the data on Baseball-Reference.com's Home Run Logs comes from the Tattersall/McConnell Home Run Log, a database of all homers hit in the major leagues since 1876. This project was begun in the 1940's by John C. Tattersall and was continued after Tattersall's death in 1981 by Bob McConnell, one of SABR's original 16 members. David Vincent, another SABR member, has since assumed the leadership of the project. Baseball-Reference.com has licensed this remarkable database from the Society for American Baseball Research. All credit for the data therein goes to the intrepid researchers who digitized this data from archival sources.
For years from 1913 to 2016, RetroSheet play-by-play data has been used whenever the home run occurred in a game for which we have complete play-by-play data.
There are a handful of cases where the home run logs totals do not agree with the totals on our player pages. We are working to reconcile all of those differences, but believe that in all cases the Home Run Encyclopedia is correct.

Make Homemade Insect Repellent for Horses
Edited by Nerissa Avisado, Anonymous, Eng, Charmed and 5 others
We all enjoy the balmy summer days, but nobody appreciates the 30,000 species of insects and other pests that come out to rejoice in the good weather. Our animal friends, like the horses, also share this revulsion, especially because they spend most of their time outdoors.
While they cannot openly complain, it is obvious that they are bothered when they are swarmed and bitten by different insects all over their bodies. And they are not simply annoyance; most of these insects are carriers of diseases and illnesses that can prove fatal to our pets.
Horses tend to be more affected by insect infestation because they wear a thin coat of skin. They suffer from insect bites that can damage their sensitive skin and overall health condition. In our effort to ease their discomfort, we usually think of using over-the-counter insect repellent, which we all know contain chemicals that are harmful to the horse's skin. Thankfully, there are simple steps to make natural, home-made insect repellent for horses that are just as effective, safe, and save you lots of money. Just follow the recipes below and you'll have a fly spray that doesn't cause harm to the horse and the environment, while leaving a healthy, shiny coat of skin to the animal.

- 216 ounces vinegar
- 316 ounces citronella
- 4Dish soap
- 5A few drops of eucalyptus oil
- 6Water

- 2Add in a few drops of eucalyptus oil then pour enough water.Mix well to blend all ingredients.
- 3Use a funnel to pour the mixture carefully into an empty spray bottle.
- 4Spray generously all over the horse's body, except on the eyes.
The Versatile Vinegar
Here are several ways to fend off insects using the ever-reliable vinegar.
- 1Mix equal amounts of white vinegar and water in a container.Add a few drops of any dish soap onto the mixture. If you want a stronger formula for bothersome insects, you can add more vinegar than water.
- 2Combine 2 cups of white vinegar with 1 cup bath oil, 1 cup water, and 1 tbsp, of eucalyptus oil.Stir well before pouring into a large spray bottle. Spray all over the horse's body, but be careful not to put the mixture into the animal's eyes and mouth.
- 3In an empty spray bottle.Mix together 1 cup vinegar, 1 cup baby oil, ¼ cup PineSol, 1 tbsp. ordinary dish soap, 1 tbsp. bath oil, and 1 cup water. Shake well before spraying liberally on the horse's coat, except on the eyes and mouth.Advertisement
Internal Fly Repellant
If the horse's skin is too sensitive for any type of insect repellent, try confronting insect infestation from the inside. Hydrate the horse with water mixed with ¼ cup apple cider. The apple cider will increase the horse's blood acid level enough for troublesome insects to leave the horse in peace. Results become evident within one week of application.
Tips Tricks & Warnings
- Add garlic to your horse's diet. The smell of garlic is enough to repel the insects and keep their distance away from the horse.
- Citronella and eucalyptus oil can be purchased at local health supplement and food stores.
- Clean an old spray bottle thoroughly before pouring in your homemade insect repellent.
- Wait for at least an hour before re-spraying the horse with another application of insect repellent.
- Apply petroleum jelly or bacon grease on the horse's sensitive areas to alleviate their discomfort caused by insect bites.
- Flowering elder can be used to comb the horse's mane and tail, serving as effective fly repellent while keeping the animal groomed and neat.
- Avoid spraying the vinegar mixture directly onto the horse's face. Instead, put some amount on your hand or on a clean cloth then gently rub its face with it.
- Make sure the apple cider mixture is not stale by smelling it before giving to the horse. Prepare a fresh mixture if you detect sour smell from your week-old blend.

Can I use a plastic bottle or must it be in a glass spray bottle?
It does not matter what bottle you use, as long as you store the repellent not under the sun. In reality, plastic bottles with repellents for horses can be handled, stored, obtained, and used more easily. If you prefer glass, you can order these bottles: Amber Spray Bottles. If you prefer plastic, you can order one of these bottles, for example: Safe Plastic Sprayer Bottle.

Hamburger Mary's
1202 Davie Street
Vancouver, BC
Despite it was a short trip, after I came back from Richmond, VA, I still suffered the effects of jet lag. That meant waking up early and be hungry by 10:30 a.m. Fortunately, aside from meetings, my work does not force me to have lunch at a specific time of the day so I chose to have a really early "lunch". The problem? Most places do not open before 11:00 a.m… But, I had a backup plan: A place that is open "20 hours a day". That place is Hamburger Mary's.
Although it was "early", I was hoping they would have the full menu available. Alas, that was not to be. Instead, they gave me only the breakfast menu. On that note, notice a lot of people was having late breakfast/early lunch/brunch as well…
I was having a hard time deciding what to order. Usually, breakfast items, well, it is not that I don't like hash brown, eggs, bacon/sausage/ham or similar items. It is just that, sometimes, with so much variety, it is difficult to decide the best combination. In the end, I decided randomly, i.e., almost literally rolling a die, hehehehe.
Yes, saying anything else would be an overstatement!
And that almost random decision ended up being the "West Ender", I will assume named after the area, that is, Vancouver's West End, where Hamburger Mary's is located. And, as per their menu, the "West Ender" is made up of "two fresh eggs, hickory smoked bacon, country sausage or smoked ham, savoury hash browns and your choice of pancakes, waffles or French toast".
I chose sausage, French toast and sunny side up eggs. I also asked for an additional side order of seasonal fruits (I think), which ended up being more on the lines of a jam:
This ended up being a good idea as the French toast was plain – I was expecting it to be slightly sweet. Still, that was a really large serving: I added to every bite of French toast and could not finish it. As for the rest, the hash brown was savoury enough, with hints of herb. The egg was well prepared, when I "cut" through the yolk, it started to ooze away. The sausage was, well, a bit of an afterthought.
Overall, the breakfast was good, though slightly expensive, specially if I compare it to Teresa's Cafe. It is possible I am comparing apple to oranges but… The question is whether I would like to come back for their burgers. Hmmmmm… burgers…

Turnovers and an overall offensive deficiency marred the New York Jets season throughout 2011.
With recent reports suggesting that perhaps the terminology of previous offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer's system was too complex for the players to master, there is hope for change this season under Tony Sparano, who took the role of offensive coordinator for the Jets in January.
Though Sparano brings a stern, disciplinarian type figure to help bring Gang Green back to their ground-and-pound roots, execution on behalf of the players will be paramount in order for the new offensive system to flourish.
It is essential for the following players to take the next step in their individual developments in order to help revive a stagnant New York Jets offense.

Echidnas /ɨˈkɪdnə/, sometimes known as spiny anteaters,[1] belong to the family Tachyglossidae in the monotreme order of egg-laying mammals. The four extant species, together with the platypus, are the only surviving members of that order and are the only extant mammals that lay eggs.[2] Although their diet consists largely of ants and termites, they are no more closely related to the true anteaters of the Americas than to any other placental mammal. They live in Australia and New Guinea. The echidnas are named after a monster in ancient Greek mythology.
Echidnas are small, solitary mammals[3] covered with coarse hair and spines. Superficially, they resemble the anteaters of South America and other spiny mammals such as hedgehogs and porcupines. They have elongated and slender snouts which function as both mouth and nose. Like the platypus, they are equipped with electrosensors, but while the platypus has 40,000 electroreceptors on its bill, the long-billed echidna has only 2,000, and the short-billed echidna, which lives in a drier environment, has no more than 400 located at the tip of its snout.[4] They have very short, strong limbs with large claws, and are powerful diggers. Echidnas have tiny mouths and toothless jaws. The echidna feeds by tearing open soft logs, anthills and the like, and using its long, sticky tongue, which protrudes from its snout, to collect prey. The short-beaked echidna's diet consists largely of ants and termites, while the Zaglossus species typically eats worms and insect larvae.[5]
Long-beaked echidnas have sharp, tiny spines on their tongues that help capture their prey.[5]
Echidnas and the platypus are the only egg-laying mammals, known as monotremes. The female lays a single soft-shelled, leathery egg 22 days after mating, and deposits it directly into her pouch. Hatching takes place after 10 days; the young echidna then sucks milk from the pores of the two milk patches (monotremes have no nipples) and remains in the pouch for 45 to 55 days,[6] at which time it starts to develop spines. The mother digs a nursery burrow and deposits the young, returning every five days to suckle it until it is weaned at seven months.
Neocortex makes up half of the echidna's brain, compared to one-third of a human brain.[7] Due to their low metabolism and accompanying stress resistance, echidnas are long-lived for their size; the longest recorded lifespan for a captive echidna is 50 years, with anecdotal accounts of wild individuals reaching 45 years.[8] Contrary to previous research, the echidna does enter REM sleep, but only when the ambient temperature is around 25°C (77°F). At temperatures of 15°C (59°F) and 28°C (~82°F), REM sleep is suppressed.[9]
Male echidnas have non-venomous spurs on the hind feet.[10]
|This section requires expansion. (November 2012)
Male echidnas have a four-headed penis. During mating, the heads on one side "shut down" and do not grow in size; the other two are used to release semen into the female's two-branched reproductive tract. The heads used are swapped each time the mammal copulates.[11] When not in use, the penis is retracted inside a preputial sac in the cloaca. The male echidna's penis is 7 centimeters long when erect, and its shaft is covered with penile spines.[12]
Breeding season begins in late June and extends through September. Males will form lines up to ten individuals long that follow the female and attempt to mate.[13] Two weeks after mating, a single fertilized egg is implanted in a rear-facing pouch that has developed on the female, where it is held for ten days before hatching. The young echidna, called a puggle, is then held in the pouch for two to three months before being expelled.[14] Puggles will stay within their mother's den for up to a year before leaving.[13]
Molecular clock data suggest echidnas split from platypuses between 19 and 48 million years ago, and that platypus-like fossils dating back to over 112.5 million years ago therefore represent basal forms, rather than close relatives of the modern platypus.[15] This would imply that echidnas evolved from water-foraging ancestors that returned to living completely on the land, even though this put them in competition with marsupials. Consequently, oviparous reproduction in monotremes may have given them an advantage over marsupials, a view consistent with present ecological partitioning between the two groups.[15]
Echidnas are classified into three genera.[16] The genus Zaglossus includes three extant species and two species known only from fossils, while only one extant species from the genus Tachyglossus is known. The third genus, Megalibgwilia, is known only from fossils.
The three living Zaglossus species are endemic to New Guinea.[16] They are rare and are hunted for food. They forage in leaf litter on the forest floor, eating earthworms and insects. The species are:
- Western long-beaked echidna (Z. bruijni), of the highland forests;
- Sir David's long-beaked echidna (Z. attenboroughi), described in 1961 and preferring a still higher habitat;
- Eastern long-beaked echidna (Z. bartoni), of which four distinct subspecies have been identified.
The two fossil species are:
The short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) is found in southeast New Guinea, and also occurs in almost all Australian environments, from the snow-clad Australian Alps to the deep deserts of the Outback, essentially anywhere ants and termites are available. It is smaller than the Zaglossus species, and it has longer hair.
The genus Megalibgwilia is known only from fossils:
- M. ramsayi from Late Pleistocene sites in Australia;
- M. robusta from Miocene sites in Australia.
Echidna in popular culture[edit]
- The echidna appears on the reverse of the Australian 5-cent coin.
- Knuckles the Echidna is a red echidna featured in the video game series Sonic the Hedgehog. Knuckles made his debut in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 for the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Genesis.
- Millie, an echidna, was a mascot for the 2000 Summer Olympics.

Blake Lively was once again seen wearing her fave grey flat boots, this time on the set of Gossip Girl just today (November 1st, 2011, Source). While I'm not positive that these are the same Chinese Laundry Turbo Split Suede Grey Boots (which are no longer available) that Blake Lively wore in 2009, they very well could be. So how can we steal her style? We found a similar gray flat boot style at an very affordable price! Check out the above Glaze by Adi Womens Cuffed Top Microsuede Boots, on sale for only $18.99 from Amazon (regularly $59.99).
