Rangers 1 Hearts 0
An own goal off the head of Hearts midfielder Scott Severin enabled Rangers to extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premier League to six points on a day when Celtic's trip to Motherwell had already fallen foul of the weather.
- Related Content
The unfortunate moment for the Scotland international, who had passed a late fitness test, proved significant on a day when the home side dominated but once again failed to turn that advantage into goals.
The recent history between the two sides had seen results go exclusively Rangers' way, with three victories accrued without the cost of a single goal.
But those figures had not been the whole picture as whatever Hearts had lacked in creative play they had compensated with muscular challenges.
Hearts were far more dangerous here than they had been before but it was more of the same as far as the rough stuff was concerned.
In the 4-0 win at Tynecastle Alan Maybury and Neil McCann had indulged in such fierce touchline combat that it was clear one would be ejected by the end of the game.
In the end it had been Maybury who walked and the CIS Insurance Cup semi-final between the two sides earlier in the month, in which Hearts had been deeply disappointing when it came to creative football, Stephane Mahe and Fernando Ricksen had added another dimension to the McCann-Maybury bout on the other flank.
McCann was absent here after being injured on Scotland duty in midweek in a game that Maybury had watched from the Republic of Ireland bench.
This time Maybury - the ultimate Dublin rarity as he was a childhood Rangers fan - tussled with Claudio Caniggia, who time after time went rolling on the Ibrox turf in apparent agony.
Not all of those challenges had been deemed illegal by referee John Underhill who seemed to have heeded Craig Levein's plea for officials to turn a deaf ear to the home crowd at games against Old Firm sides.
The home fans were upset in the 24th minute when the ball ended up in the Hearts goal from a Ronald de Boer tap-in.
Barry Ferguson had sent Caniggia through and the veteran had played the ball past on-coming goalkeeper Tepi Moilanen before he went down in the box from Maybury's challenge.
Initially it appeared to be a choice of whether a penalty would be awarded or advantage played but instead an assistant's raised flag prompted Underhill to penalise de Boer for offside.
But there was no escape for Hearts in the 41st minute after Maybury had fouled Caniggia on the left.
Mikel Arteta fired in the free-kick and the ball seemed to skid past Moilanen off the top of Severin's head.
Lorenzo Amoruso had been inches away from repeating his free-kick feat at Dunfermline last week but this time his low shot whistled just wide of the post.
But Hearts had also attacked their hosts, showing arguably more endeavour in the first 10 minutes than they had in the whole 90 earlier in the month.
Stefan Klos had not had much to do but when Jean-Louis Valois curled in a shot from 25 yards it needed a fine tip over to deny him.
Gary Wales had shown early promise and Mark de Vries had forced Klos into a near post save before Rangers got a grip on the game, with Caniggia heading across goal and the recalled Kevin Muscat failing to hit the target from a
Ricksen lay back before the break.
Soon after the restart Michael Mols, who had been recalled at Shota Arveladze's expense, saw a shot deflected just wide after Arthur Numan had sprung the offside trap.
Andy Webster was cautioned for hauling Mols down as soon as the Dutchman threatened to go past him and Maybury soon followed him into the book for having a go at an assistant for the award of a free-kick.
Peter Lovenkrands replaced Caniggia on the left just after the hour and got the better of Maybury down the left, with Mahe having to hoof the cross clear after the goalkeeper failed to claim.
Ferguson might have done better than to fire over in front of goal when Muscat crossed from the right, although he did have to swivel significantly to get the touch.
Arveladze came on for Mols and fired weakly wide with only the goalkeeper to beat and when de Boer volleyed goalwards minutes later he was denied a clincher by a fine parry from the Finn.
An almighty scramble in the Rangers box in stoppage time saw the ball fall for de Vries but his shot was blocked.
Rangers Klos, Muscat, Malcolm, Amoruso, Numan, Ricksen,

This month's AIM topic centers on weight loss/maintenance and the internet. Well, not the entire internet, just the parts that focus on weight-related stuff. We'll save the rest of the internet for another post.
The thinternet, if you will, can be a bit of a…mixed bag. There's the helpful part, and then there's the part that does more harm than good and will drive you crazy if you let it.
I think a big part of my weight loss success and (mostly) maintenance to date has been due to the evolution of the internet:
* information (nutritional data, exercise videos, healthy recipes, etc.)
* computer/smart phone apps
* weight/fitness-focused communities
* blogs & blogging
Being older than the internet, I remember what trying to lose weight was like without sparkpeople, calorie-count, Eating Well, blogs and blogging, and so on. Magazines, daytime talk shows (Donahue, anyone? Sally Jesse?), and advice from friends were my primary resources.
So, yeah, for me the 'thinternet' is largely a very helpful tool.
And then there's the rest of it, the part that is, for me, heartbreaking, frustrating, and infuriating.
One aspect of the thinternet that bothers me (as in, breaks my heart) is the growing cult of "thinspiration", which basically encourages and promotes severe eating disorders. The same technology that allowed me to find information, ideas, and like-minded people that helped me lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way has proven to be a fast track for sharing of tips and ideas on losing excessive amounts of weight in extremely unhealthy ways. I worry that younger women (or older women, feeling hopeless or desperate) will get sucked into the mindset.
And even if they don't, there's some indication that simply reading/viewing "pro-ana" sites might still cause negative ripples:
Study participants exposed to the pro-anorexia website had greater negative affect, lower social self-esteem, and lower appearance self-efficacy post-website than those who viewed a comparison website. Additionally, they perceived themselves as heavier, reported a greater likelihood of exercising and thinking about their weight in the near future, and engaged in more image comparison.[International Journal of Eating Disorders]
Most social media platforms (except Twitter) have attempted some measure of restriction over the "pro-ana" and "pro-mia" groups, but haven't been too successful. However, anyone searching for the hashtag "thinspo" on Pinterest or Tumblr does at least get an offer of help:
It scares me to think where all this might lead someday. It scares me even more that there doesn't seem to be a way to make it stop.
There are other aspects of the thinternet that are frustrating: misinformation, fads, absolutism, divisiveness, etc. Those are usually easily dealt with by exercising my pinky-finger-back=button maneuver. Or getting a good night's sleep.
I can't even form rational thoughts about the scammers and spammers and other scum-sucking parasites that litter the internet and, thanks to ad networks more interested in sales dollars and/or page rank than integrity, deliver their empty promises directly to our inboxes or into the sidebars of the websites we visit. We no longer have to buy a magazine, turn on the television, or even talk to our friends about weight issues. Marketers have access to us on almost every click.
I'm sorry, I have to stop. I feel my blood pressure going up. I told you I can't talk about those people.
In the end, I'll continue to seek solutions, ideas, and support online and continue to offer my viewpoint via my message of fitness over physique. Who knows, maybe someday I'll figure out a way to help counteract some of the less desirable aspects of our little corner of the internet.
If you haven't done so already, be sure to check out what the other AIM bloggers had to say about the thinternet:
Lynn @ Lynn's Weigh
Lori @ Finding Radiance
Debby @ Debby Weighs In
Shelley @ My Journey to Fit
There's a good chance they were far more rational and tizzy-less.
AIM: Adventures in Maintenance is Lynn, Lori, Debby, Shelley, and Cammy, former weight-loss bloggers who now write about life in maintenance. We formed AIM to work together to turn up the volume on the issues facing people in weight maintenance. We publish a post on the same topic on the first Monday of each month. Let us know if there is a topic you'd like us to address!

Bum heard all the disrespect earlier.
True country boy by all definition ......he from NC so I can't hate on em
how can you hate a guy that got married in blue jeans and been chewing dip since the 5th grade?
i think the most impressive part of bum and all that he has accomplished is that he's only 26

Over the last year or so I have become increasingly frustrated with our local postman. I regularly take days off to receive deliveries which don't come and then miraculously I notice the 'Sorry, we missed you' card has been put through the letter box with no attempt whatsoever to deliver the parcel. This has happened a few times and a few weeks ago I even saw the little cretin walking down the road putting the slips in houses, clearly making no attempt to make the delivery.
... doesn't have the time to ring the doorbell
He obviously doesn't have the time to ring the doorbell, yet somehow always has the time to knock back a few drinks at the the local pub. On more than one occasion I've seen him sitting at the bar so intoxicated he can barely speak. I've even seen him get up and go to the toilet whilst leaving a back containing letters and packages on the floor. As far as the postal service goes seeing this kind of thing happening doesn't exactly instill much faith.
I have another gripe with Royal Mail regarding parcels. I regularly have items delivered via 24 hour express post. The parcels don't turn up on the due date of arrival, so I pop into the local post office the following day and after a bit of hassle finally get the parcel. Then low and behold, later that day the 'Sorry, we missed you' card appears out of nowhere. This is not an isolated incident and I do wonder if something underhanded is going on. Perhaps someone thinks that I won't go and pick up the parcel so they can just help themselves to its contents - who knows? I cannot think of any other reason why the card would appear after I've picked the parcel up. Maybe I'm just cynical!
I have noticed increasingly poor levels of Service from Royal Mail recently and have lodged complaints via the website, all of which seem to fall on deaf ears as I never get a response. I don't really see what option I have left really. If I confront the postman about this, do you think the chances of me getting my parcels on time would improve? I think not.

notes in the box, timed one at 9.15 and the other at 12.15 !! SO they delivered 2 notes but no packets. Even worse both notes said to pick the packets up THE NEXT DAY !!!
One of these packets cost me £3.00 postage. I think this is an attempt tp get everyone to go to `signed for next day delivery` with a much higher cost.

The managers of the Royal Mail are useless as they should be quality checking this service regularly They should all be sacked.
This is rip-off as the sender has paid extra for this service.

The reason why he didn't bother to bring me my package to the door is that it is a microwave which he will need to carry to the main entrance, come up on the lift and walk 20 steps to my front door. I have requested a redelivery. I am not gonna let this one go. I am expecting this incident to be investigated and I will make sure they know who they are dealing with, should the result is not to my satisfaction.

On top of that, the paper note is a stupid tag looking like a paper tag which one would attach to an object being sold in a garage sale - literally a piece of paper!!
The package was found to have been opened and thrown on the floor - contents stolen.
All this for a package which would fit through the door.
I ask myself if it is illegal and a crime to be stupid beyond comprehension - if it would be, then royal mail is placing their customers trust in the hands of criminals. And now if you will excuse me, I have some screaming to do on the phone.

£119 -- Barcelona: 3 Nights in Design Hotel from 6 Airports
Here's a confession: I may be the UK publisher of Travelzoo, and live and breathe hotels for much of my waking existence, but I'm not always such a big fan of them. Why? Well, too many are too predictable, too safe, so frightened of offending Jo Public that they retreat into Blands-ville. The result is same-like, disappearing décor that, whatever its colour, always looks beige, furnishings that at most nod towards modernity with a shy flash of chrome and, worst of all, hotel art that commits the cardinal artistic sin of being deliberately boring.
Thankfully, I think the dominance of this kind of middle-of-the-road establishment could be on the wane. Its accommodation model seems somehow out of place in a world of broadband and ultra-cheap air travel, where we're all a little bit more sophisticated. All of which suggests that the Vincci Bit, the hotel part of the very good deal in the No 1 spot in the Top 20 this week, could be a sign of the times. Most tellingly, the property has given much of its wall space over to a bunch of Barcelona artists, who have obliged with 2,000 square metres of lively, pulsating, graffiti-like murals that cleverly evoke the street art of this rambunctious city while simultaneously managing not to be ugly.
It's all a very long way from gilt-framed daubs of dogs or horses or country cottages, to which we could raise a glass on the Vincci Bit's roof terrace, next to the pool. It's not often you get to experience the future of hostelry for £119 (including flights). I'd get booking, if I were you: I don't think this deal will last long.
£135 - 'Perfect' 5-Star Provence Break w/Upgrade & Breakfast
Not that every hotel should strain to be hip. Hotels should be themselves, which is what Le Mas de Pierre, in the medieval Provence village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, does rather effortlessly. At £135 a room, this is a place for special occasions, but you'll understand exactly what kind of a place it is when you realise it is going at only half the usual rate. Le Mas de Pierre is a 5-star, grand old chateau dipped, like a strawberry in chocolate sauce, deeply in luxury. A 2-Michelin-star chef presides over the restaurant; each room has a balcony or terrace overlooking a fragrant old olive garden; and there is, of course, a spa. A further big draw is the impossibly evocative location. The ancient hilltop village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence is famous for the artists and writers, such as Marc Chagall and Jacques Prévert, who lived there. It's also famous for the tourists who come, accordingly, en masse. We're publishing our Le Mas de Pierre deal at such a comparatively low rate because it's in the off-season, but you'll discover (as I did) if you go that that's actually a really good thing.
£299 -- Iceland City Break w/Northern Lights Tour, Save £140
What's the mysterious ingredient, apart from that whale of a saving, that makes this Iceland city break such a good deal? It's the timing. I've been on several aurora borealis-"hunting" expeditions in northern climes and, believe me, it is an elusive beast. Standing around for hours stomping your feet in sub-zero weather, hoping to catch a green glimpse of this miracle of nature, soon loses its appeal. However, if you'll forgive a rare diversion into astronomical physics, 2013 could apparently be the strongest year since the 1950s for nature's greatest light show. We are deep within a so-called solar maximum period, you see, accompanied by feverish sunspot activity, ferocious energy discharges and spectacular accompanying disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field. Let there, in other words, be (northern) lights.

The third quarter venture capital figures are in from PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association. And the cleantech figures aren't good. From GigaOM:
The third quarter of 2013 saw the 7th consecutive drop in cleantech venture investing. In Q3 there were 40 deals and $297 million invested, which was a 20 percent drop in dollars from the second quarter of 2013, and a 65 percent drop from the third quarter of 2012. This funding is anything that is classified as venture, which includes venture arms of corporations, institutions, and investment banks. If it's not classified as venture, and it's from a corporate, seems like it's not included here.
It wasn't just cleantech that took a hit. Life sciences, which includes biotech and medical devices, saw its lowest VC levels in the first 9 months of the year since 2005. Similarly VC for cleantech hasn't been this low on a quarterly basis since 2006. Conversely, VCs pumped $3.6 billion into software startups during Q3, the highest level in 12 years.
So what gives? VCs have learned that capital intensive startups with unclear exit strategies involve risk levels they just don't want to take. Most importantly, from my perspective, is that cleantech, like life sciences, involves some very challenging basic science as well as engineering hurdles to overcome, which is why the industry really requires not just subsidies from Washington but major investment in the core scientific areas that can pave the way to commercialization. Software services have none of these challenges, are easily scalable, and build upon three decades of advances in development.
So cleantech startups trudge on in a world where early stage financing is getting harder to come by. One hopes that at some point the federal government will realize that improving our energy economy will require supportive programs like ARPA-E. You know, as long as the federal government's open.

In the tradition of the best-selling book The One Minute Manager, authors Ken Blanchard and S. Truett Cathy, entrepreneur and founder of Chic-fil-A restaurants, present The Generosity Factor—a parable that demonstrates the virtues of generosity. It's the story of a meeting between the Broker—a young man on his way up the corporate ladder who has the illusion of success, yet deep inside feels insignificant—and the Executive—the CEO of a very large and successful company who claims the greatest joy in his life is his ability to give to others.
Thinking he might get a competitive edge by meeting with the Executive, the Broker's worldview is turned upside down as he talks to the Executive and hears the principles that form his life. He calls it the Generosity Factor—a way to give time, talent, treasure, and touch to those in need.
Providing a unique twist on what it means to thrive in business, at home, and in life, this story will forever change your definition of success.

Tamara "Tammy" Lynn Sytch is a wrestling manage...
-- Tammy "Sunny" Sytch will appear at Pro Wrestling World in the Merchants Square Mall 1901 S. 12th St. Allentown, Pennsylvania, on August 24 from noon to 3:00 p.m.
-- Madusa, known as Alundra Blayze in WWE, is this week's addition to the WWE.com's Alumni section.
In December 1995, the accomplished women's wrestler joined World Championship Wrestling and proceeded to dump the WWF Women's Championship belt into a trash can on a live episode of WCW Monday Nitro. Regarding the incident, WWE writes, "At a time when WCW had the advantage over WWE in the storied Monday Night War, the incident was a cannonball through the front gates of Mr. McMahon's crumbling empire. Not only had another one of his competitors aligned themselves with the competition, but a WWE title had been publically disgraced."
Her bio ends with the following line: "As for the WWE Women's Title? She's still holding onto it."

-- Promoting the release of GI Joe: Retaliation on DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D, former WWE Champion Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson spoke to Metro.co.uk about how important GI Joe was to him growing up as a young child.
"I played with my GI Joe and Star Wars action figures every day. They mingled. I was always creating scenarios with them, so, looking back, they were very important," said Johnson. "The cool, emotional connectivity to all that, with me coming full circle by starring in this movie, is a very cool thing."
Johnson also discussed his relationship with Bruce Willis, his co-star in GI Joe: Retaliation.
"That guy is something else. I've been buddies with Bruce for a while. He's iconic. He's been one of the world's biggest movie stars for a long time, so us together, guns in our hands, saving the world as GI Joes, was cool," said Johnson.

LAS VEGAS, N.M. — The South squad will have a distinct Portales and District 4-3A flavor in Friday's Class 3A New Mexico High School Coaches Association all-star basketball game at New Mexico Highlands University.
Eight of the 12 players are from the district, including four from Portales, along with coaches Greg Marez of Ruidoso and Pilar Carrasco of Lovington.
Lady Rams players, who in March captured the school's third 3A state title in the past four years, are looking for a relaxing experience to cap their high school careers.
"It's not like a state championship (game)," said Amy Archibeque, a 5-foot-5 guard. "We're just going to go out there and have fun.
"I'm just really excited to play. I was (originally) picked as an alternate, but they called me about two weeks ago."
The teams gathered at NMHU on Monday for the start of two-a-day practices. The game is scheduled for 5 p.m. Friday at Highlands' Wilson Complex.
Other Portales players in the game are 5-6 point guard Roni Gomez, 5-6 forward-guard Kassandra Richards and 5-4 wing Erika Cook.
"I think it'll be neat," said Gomez, who played for her mother Brenda in high school and plans to continue playing this fall at Garden City (Kan.) Community College.
"It'll be like a learning experience," she said of the all-star competition. "Plus I'll be getting in shape to play (in college). This will be a good experience."
Gomez has already played in an East-West all-star game in April at The Pit in Albuquerque, and admits she might have a tough time topping that outing.
"We were down by three points with about two seconds left," she recalled. "I faked this girl up and shot a 3-pointer, and we won the game in overtime."
The girls are getting used to playing with people they competed against during high school.
"We know the Lovington girls because we've played them so much," Archibeque said. "We've gone down there and hung out with them sometimes."
Cook, who will play at Eastern New Mexico University this fall, said she's enjoyed seeing her rivals from a different perspective.
"It's pretty cool, actually, to get to know each other a little bit," she said. "I'm just excited to play with these other girls. I've always thought highly of them."
Gomez and Richards are rooming together during the camp. Ditto for Archibeque and Cook.
It's the last time they'll all be together on the same team.
"It's tough because me and Roni are such good friends," Richards said. "We've played together a long time.
"It's kind of weird because we're playing with all our rivals. But I think it's going to be exciting — and I think we're going to win."
Richards is looking at playing at the junior college level this fall, but said it's more likely she'll end up going to school at ENMU. "I'm keeping my options open," she said.

2013 press releases
Posted 15 February 2013
Taoiseach Officially Opens AIT International Arena
The Taoiseach, Enda Kenny TD, has officially opened Ireland's first world-class indoor athletics arena at Athlone Institute of Technology (AIT).
In a ceremony attended by legendary Irish athletes, Dr Ronnie Delaney, Senator Eamonn Coghlan, John Treacy, and Ireland's first female Olympian, Maeve Kyle, the Taoiseach declared the new €10m AIT International Arena open for business.
Describing the arena as "good news for not only for the people of Athlone, but for the wider area," the Taoiseach said that it is "kind of development that attracts more students, more attention, more investment".
The International Arena, Mr Kenny said, is "an excellent addition to AIT and is certainly in keeping with your own and the government's view of the critical link between physical and mental and emotional health. The potential this arena offers is self-evident. Crucially, it supports, directly, the institute's academic offerings in areas such as sport management, sport science and sport therapy; disciplines where a new generation of sporting professionals are being educated and trained."
The Taoiseach continued: "This best-in-class resource will give AIT students the perfect environment in which to apply their skills and knowledge. It's an excellent investment in what has the potential to be an equally excellent future."
The official opening comes just ahead of the Athletics Ireland National Senior Indoor Championships at the AIT venue this weekend. Four of Ireland's best athletes will compete in the International Arena on Saturday and Sunday: Fionnuala Britton, Brian Gregan, Rob Heffernan and Derval O'Rourke.
Speaking at the opening, President of AIT and Athletics Ireland, Professor Ciarán Ó Catháin described the International Arena as a "theatre of dreams", saying it would become: "the springboard for new Irish sporting heroes and legends, names that will enter the lexicon of greatness."
Ireland needs sporting heroes, he said, winners and champions who will provide necessary inspiration for the country. That will only come about through "putting in place the infrastructure that will enable young people to fulfill their dreams. It's about creating an environment and a culture that is deeply committed to the pursuit of excellence."
Prof Ó Catháin was quick to point out, however, that the AIT International Arena isn't simply the preserve of elite athletes. Last weekend, 89-year-old Hugh Gallagher competed in the 60m and long jump events in the Master Championships. Equally, the President said that the response of young children and local athletics clubs to the new facility has been hugely positive.
Explaining why AIT was the one to finally deliver on a long-promised indoor athletics facility, it was, he said, because "higher education is not simply about the technical knowledge or know-how to do certain things. It is about a state of mind, about a willingness to move beyond known boundaries and to break through barriers.
"That type of experience is best created in a setting that challenges and nourishes the mind and the body. It is delivered in an environment where learners are exposed to ideas radically different from their own, where multicultural is not just a slogan, but a lived reality. Having the AIT International Arena helps us to deliver on those goals, it strengthens our claim to be a college of choice for students. It adds immeasurably to the attractiveness of Athlone for future learners, whether they be from Trim or Turin, Ballina or Beijing," he stated.
Prof Ó Catháin added that the new AIT International Arena would generate significant revenue for businesses in Athlone, which is European Town of Sport 2013. It is estimated that the new facility will generate 4,500 bed nights by 2016.
The International Arena is part of a comprehensive programme of investment in AIT which has exceeded €115 million since the start of the millennium. While much of the funding has come from the Exchequer, the vast majority of the €10 million spend for the arena has been raised directly by AIT. The Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport awarded €737,500 in funding towards the construction of the facility in 2012 under the Special Athletics Tracks Initiative. Athlone Town Council is contributing €250,000 over five years.
The AIT International Arena has a footprint of 6,818m2 and an overall building floor area of 9,715m2. Some 850 tonnes of structural steel and 50,000 concrete blocks went into the construction of the facility which can house 2,000 spectators.
Athlone Institute of Technology has some 6,000 students, including 450 international learners. The institute offers 50 programmes through the CAO, including degrees in sport management, sport science, sport therapy and nutrition.

The MLB's been in the offseason for a while now, and the hot stove is finally beginning to heat up.
Rumors are turning into acquisitions, and there's been a countless amount of both in this past week.
The Mets have had a rather quiet offseason so far, but that should change soon. They're expected to sign their new closer soon, and Jose Reyes might ink a new deal with the Amazins by Christmas.
Things are about to get exciting for the Mets and their fans.
Here are 11 players whom I believe the Mets should make a run for this offseason.

Monday Night Football between the archrival Patriots and Jets, both with the best record in the AFC has the feel of a championship game.
In many ways it is. A victory in this game would put the winner in pole position for the AFC East division title. It would also do the same for the team's standing as the best team in the AFC.
And with the stakes extremely high, and some of the fiercest competition on the field, this game could go a long way, both logistically and mentally, to the victor reaching the Super Bowl.
The two best teams in the conference will duel it out, mano a mano, to see who has all the advantages.

Let's play Supreme Being for a moment. Assume you're assembling a solar system. Obviously, you need a powerful gravitational vortex at its center. Yet, despite the organizational benefits of the approach, this gravity well has effects well beyond organizing the system. Its mere presence can dictate many things about how the inhabitants of the system around it function and evolve. It can introduce limitations that can be justifiably interpreted as absolutes instead of variables.
There seems to be a gravity well at the center of Web thinking these days, whether it manifest itself in attention economy for scholars, the pernicious effects of digital apologists, the vanishing middle-class of information workers, the belief that free content can be sustainable, and the sanctity of advertising. I think it's also somewhat related to the Age of Systems, and is, in its totality, encapsulated as the bright, gaseous star we call Google.
About a year ago, I covered a piece Scott Karp wrote about how Google doesn't want your content, just your links. And recently, our own David Crotty made a comment in which he said, "Google's business is selling ads. They constantly try to drive the price of nearly everything else on earth down to zero in order to use those things as incentives to sell ads."
In case you harbor any doubts that ads are what drives Google, this chart from the Silicon Alley Insider should put those doubts to rest:
So it began to dawn on me — Is the ubiquitous and powerful Google so mighty and pervasive that its mere presence actually has a gravitational effect on our thinking that hasn't quite registered completely?
I'm not talking about the prosaic effects of its search engine, as covered recently in yet another Wired article about the search giant. I think Google represents much more than that in our lives now. And while it doesn't want your content, just links, Google knows that certain conditions favor the creation of more links to harvest, and is happy to encourage these conditions.
In short, I'm pretty sure that Google's business model and practices broadcast that open content is more linkable and valuable. This benefits Google since the more open the Web becomes, the bigger Google can become.
Open content leads to more sharing, more automated linking, more traversals to drive the awareness that results in linking, which all lead to more money for Google. The problem is, we can be fooled into thinking Google's business model is our business model.
And it's not just textual content that Google inherently wants to make free — given the chance to make maps, Google made them free; given the chance to put maps on the iPhone, Google made them free; and given the chance to turn its maps into a GPS program for the Android, Google made it free.
Who cares if Tom-Tom and Garmin are crippled because of it? Google's ad dollars insulate the giant, and justify its every move.
Look at what happened to newspapers, the first explorers to make a close approach to the GoogleSun — prices dropped, commoditization accelerated, and the wings of many news operations began to melt in the heat.
While Google may only want links, the heat of its link-seeking creates disastrous side-effects. To make more links, Google wants content to be as linkable as possible. They don't just want your links, they want as many links as they can get.
But let's think through the implicit messages of Google's approach and whether they really make sense:
- Could it really be that advertising is the most naturally viable online commercial model?
- Could it be that we should really make our content freely available in order to facilitate linking?
- Has Google really organized the Web? Can any a system be smart enough to do that?
- Are digital systems sufficient, even superior, compared to more intuitive human systems?
What if Google were somehow geared to make money off subscriptions — subscriptions to maps, subscriptions to newspaper content, subscriptions to music services, subscriptions to magazines, subscriptions to search solutions — and advertising was something they hadn't tackled? What if Google had integrated into its business plan the recent news that a significant proportion of customers are willing to pay for content?
I'll bet Google would have made the best subscription system the world has ever seen, be rich beyond imagining through micropayments, and all our content would be commercialized in a way that made content more lucrative than it will ever be in its current role — acting as a roadway for Google traffic and parking lots for its links.
Advertising is Google's game. And, as in a solar system that sustains life, there's a distance and angle relative to the GoogleSun that's optimal. Get too close, you get burned. Move farther off, and you don't have the radiant heat or light to sustain large-scale species diversification.
Unfortunately, many STM publishers are small, remote from the sun, and have to subsist off other sources of energy.
What does this have to do with the Age of Systems? Because Google's reputation is that it has been able to organize the world's information, it's tempting to think there's a system in the digital realm that can actually do this. But the fact is, Google is a pretty limited organizational system. For instance, I can't drag all the files I find in a search onto my hard drive. I can't be sure the search results a week from now will be the same as those I'll get today. I can't compare one page to another within the system.
Google isn't really organized — it's useful, repeatedly useful, but not organized. Google's only organized as much as Google needs to be in order to be the best search portal . . . in order to sell ads.
Given its centrality and power, I think the gravitational effect of Google may have changed how we think about digital and cast the recent moves back to subscription models and closed content in an uncomfortable — dare I say, unnatural — light.
As long as Google is able to deliver more for (apparently) less, it's gravity of assumptions and preconditions will continue to hold sway over the information solar system.

To continue the trend Andreas started with his Accessories post, here's a quick reminder of some of the best in-ear phones we reviewed.
To continue the trend Andreas started with his Accessories post, here's a quick reminder of some of the best in-ear phones we reviewed.
Does your car's trunk make more noise than its motor? Does standing on the epicenter of a medium earthquake give you that warm, fuzzy feeling in your stomach? Does your 5.1 sound system consist of five subs and one tweeter?
If the answer to any of the questions above is 'yes', then you might want to read forum member Illusion's shootout of three of the most popular basshead IEMs currently available. Fret not, Illusion knows what he's talking about. His review is not about bass quantity alone – it's about overall quality/musicality, with special focus on our beloved earth-shattering subharmonics. All three phones reviewed are around the $80 price range – well worth the price of admission, compared to the uncontrolled, bloated midbass you get from some shabby $20 Skullcandy fart cannons, or similar.
If you're not afraid by now, head over to the forum thread for the full review, while I listen to some Dubstep on my Etymotic ER-4.
It's been quite a while since we reviewed the CrossRoads MylarOne X3/XB and X3i/XBi. While they were good sounding in-ear phones in the sub-$100 price range, their build quality was more than questionable. Jaben, the company behind the CrossRoads brand, certainly considered these shortcomings in durability when they designed the new versions of their MylarOnes. We're going to take a closer look at their Bijou 2, Bijou 3, and Quattro.
To make matters more confusing – or interesting – Jaben introduced a second brand of IEMs as well, called Hippo. While the MylarOne brand appears to be targeted more towards the "serious" listener, the Hippo brand seems to be catering more to the "fun" crowd. Well, at least that's what the branding and naming scheme looks like to me. "Fun" might actually sound more scary than appealing in this audio context – but fear not, the Hippos are of course nothing like, say, your average Skullcandy IEMs. We're going to analyze the Hippo VB (Variable Bass) and Hippo Boom in our super secret ABI laboratories, right after the jump.

He said the players at Wisconsin also like him. He said he's firm to the Badgers but wouldn't totally rule out checking out the Hogs.
Florida CB Sojourn Shelton is another Badger pledge that thinks highly of Bielema and regrets that he won't be able to play for him. He said he's set on going to Wisconsin but might consider Arkansas if the staff follows Bielema to Fayetteville.
Shelton had an in-home visit from Wisconsin Asst coach Charlie Partridge tonight and he was told that Barry Alvarez may come out of retirement and coach the Badgers or they may hire within and retain the staff.
He was under the impression the staff was staying put in Wisconsin.

Georgianas Mount Pleasant marks 125 years comment (0)
October 17, 2013
By Julie Payne
Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, Georgiana, celebrated its 125th anniversary Aug. 18.
During the 10 a.m. service the Butler Baptist Association church remembered the past during a PowerPoint presentation of its history. Photos of the church from 125 years ago up until today were featured.
People who were connected to the church in the past were invited to speak about their memories, and the worship service followed a special singing.
A representative from the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission presented Mount Pleasant Baptist with a plaque, and a document from the governor congratulating the church also was presented.
Lunch was served afterward, and about 150 people attended the service, according to Pastor Wayne Davis. He added that people said it was the best homecoming they had ever experienced.
Looking to the future of Mount Pleasant, Davis said, "We just preach the Word and love each other — keep it simple and love the Lord."

I've never agreed with that.
I won't ever tell someone to watch something but if Days is the only soap you watch, your only devoting an hour of your time to it (39 minutes with no commercials). I could see if you watch other soaps but if Days is it, then I don't see the issue. I guess if you just watch for one or two people, then I can see why but the whole point of soaps was for that to never be the case but it is, which is a huge issue.
I've watched since the early 80's and there has always been good stories and bad stories. I think the issue is some fans have been burned so many times by TPTB that they basically tune out as payback now. You almost get the sense that some take pleasure in it. Again, not saying anyone here is. Just something I've noticed on occasion.
I do think you can get improvements on a show without tuning out. Look at all the primetime shows that have high ratings but still end up making improvements. You can make the case they listen to the fans more but I don't see that. I've seen them ignore fans many times and take risks that pissed fans off. Those execs showed no remorse. They kill fan faves and break up beloved couples all the time and could care less about fan dissension. It's about the story and they have confidence that will keep people watching and, most times, it does. That is the way soaps used to be too. For one thing, soaps clearly don't react to poor ratings anymore. It used to be that every major drop saw a change in story, writing, or behind the scenes. Now, it seems soaps don't care as much about ratings. What they do care for is anyone's guess but they definitely don't react to them anymore, which is why I see no point in tuning out unless you just have nothing to enjoy about the show.
I do think Days listens to the fans but it at times listens to the wrong ones (NBC boards) or listens too much in that Corday gets too panicky and changes gears far too much. Sometimes you just have to see something through, no matter how bad it is. You just can't keep screwing with story and sweeping it under the rug. Just finish a story out, even if it's bad, and see if you can use it to get something else going or something. I'm sick of this pattern of starting a story, reacting too quickly, gutting it, and forgetting it ever happened. It's dumb, lazy, and is taking the easy way out, Sadly, it will never change, especially not at Days where it's been happening for too long to count.

George W. Obama?
"History may not repeat itself, but it rhymes a lot." Attributed to Mark Twain although it cannot be found in his writings. Looking at the 2012 election I am struck by how much it reminds me of the 2004 election. The Democrats that year were as confident of victory as we Republicans were this year. Bush derangement syndrome was in full bloom among the Democrats as it had been since the battle over Florida's electoral votes, and the Iraq war, which the Democrats increasingly opposed as the insurgency went on, added to their Bush hatred. Bush presided over an infinitely better economy than Obama in 2012 but the public was increasingly uneasy about Iraq as the insurgency went on and the casualty lists grew.
Democrat confidence rested upon their erroneous assumption that the wider public largely shared, to some degree, the antipathy they felt for Bush. Additionally, with Gore having won the popular vote in 2000, it was assumed that Bush would not be that hard to beat. John F. Kerry, a Massachusetts liberal Senator, was not a particularly inspiring nominee, but he kept close to Bush in the polls, occasionally taking the lead, and performed well in the debates in which Bush seemed somewhat tongue-tied and tired. Election day closed with the Democrats gleefully examining exit polls which predicted a sweeping Kerry victory. Alas for the Democrats it was not to be, as Bush, with the assistance of a good GOTV operation in Ohio, amassed a popular vote victory over Kerry by 2.4% and an electoral vote total of 286. The Republicans padded their Senate majority with a total of 55 Republican senators at the end of the election and gained three seats in the House for a total of 232.
The Democrats were devastated and disheartened by their loss, and a good deal of hogwash was written as to how the Republican party was the predominant party for the foreseeable future. (Indeed, I wrote some of the hogwash myself!) Two years later the Republicans lost both the House and the Senate, and shell-shocked Republicans were left wondering what had happened as the Democrats came roaring back into power.
Well what happened is what normally happens in American politics: the political pendulum swung propelled by events. The public increasingly became disenchanted with the war in Iraq, and , to a lesser extent, with the war in Afghanistan. The Republicans were badly hurt by some corruption and sexual scandals. President Bush seemed increasingly to be unable to come up with new policies to end the wars in the Middle East and to address problems that were beginning to surface in the economy. The typical second term malaise of most presidential administrations marked the second Bush term almost from the outset.
Today, in the wake of a presidential election where the margin of victory in the popular vote is 2.4%, requiems are being sung for the Republican party that also suffered humiliating losses in the Senate, although they retained a substantial majority in the House, losing only about six seats. President Obama presides over a bad economy that gives no signs of much improvement and an ever closer fiscal disaster. The Democrats are rejoicing now and the Republicans are weeping. We will see if their roles are reversed in 2014. Time perhaps to recall what I wrote after the dramatic Republican victories in 2010:
"The Republican party had a very good election last night, and the Democrats had a very bad election. The Republicans took control of the House and have gained approximately 60 seats with around 13 still to be decided. The House will be more pro-life than at any time in our nation's history since Roe v. Wade in 1973. In the Senate the Republicans have gained approximately 6 seats with around 3 still to be decided. The Republicans have gained at least seven governorships with a few to be decided, and at least 17 state legislative chambers have flipped to the GOP. By any standards it was a great night for the GOP, and a vote of no confidence in both the Obama administration and the Democrat Congress. It would be tempting to predict only triumph now for the Republicans and only doom for the Democrats in the future, but it is a temptation to be resisted.
After the 2008 elections many on the Left, giddy with victory, predicted that in future the Republican party would be only a rump party of the South, doomed to wander in the political wilderness for 40 years. Typical of this commentary was a piece written by frequent commenter Morning's Minion:
For look at what the Republican party has become in recent years: a rump party of the south and the plains, mired in an anachronistic culture that has little resonance with the modern world and with the younger generation.
Of course this commentary betrayed a fundamental misunderstanding of American political history. In that history there are no final victories and no final defeats. The great issue in contention since the days of the Federalists and the Republicans, the role of government in the lives of a free people, has remained with us no matter what names the two parties call themselves. When a party dies, the Whig party for instance, a new party steps forward to carry on the fight. The parties themselves shift and change, but the large issues involved tend, at bottom, to remain the same. Kipling wrote long ago:
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;
That is sound advice in American politics, no matter if an election is good for your party or bad for your party."
8 Responses to George W. Obama?
What 2012 has proven to me is that the choice to vote for the lesser evil, just brings more evil
Seeber and all people that think that way: you are responsible for what "unexpectedly" will happen to your country.
What it proves to me…the catholic population at best is around 22% in the US. It could be that half maybe less voted for obama…your views and beliefs, although correct, are a big minority in this country…at the moment. Keep working, but stop fighting. Be proactive instead of confrontational…it's your worse trait.
Oh dear, Donald. I don't want to think that francodrummer believes what he has just written. For his information, I feel bound to humbly remind him that God and Truth do not follow the Popular Vote. They are JUST ETERNAL and nothing can change that. The One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church does not go by Percentages and Popularity Contests. She just stands for the Truth which Christ brought to the World, the Truth which She has preserved, protected and proclaimed unchanged these 2,000+ years and which She shall continue to do until the End of Time.
I am intrigued… What is the difference between "working for" and "fighting on behalf of" our faith? Is it form of expression, venue, substance?
And when He had taught this, most of His disciples stopped walking with Him. then He turned to His Apostles and asked them. "Do you also want to Leave?" And Peter answered to Whom shall we go, You have the Words of Eternal Life".
Does that paraphrasing ring a bell, G-Veg?. God's Truth does not fight nor does it CHANGE to please the majority. IT IS and the Author said: "I AM WHO AM".

Children's Discovery Center
The Children's Discovery Center offers a comprehensive preschool program that serves the needs of children and families of students, faculty and the community. The center offers full-time and part-time programs. The center is accredited through the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
Parents or guardians can fill out an application (pdf) if they wish to enroll their child with the center.
Half-Day Kindergarten Readiness Program
The Children's Discovery Center is now offering a Half-Day Kindergarten Readiness Program. The nine-month program started on Wednesday, Aug. 26 and is held from 8 a.m. to noon (morning) and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. (afternoon) Monday through Thursday.
Program highlights include:

- Working partnership with parents to prepare families with children entering kindergarten
- Two highly experienced, degreed teachers
For more information and to register, parents can call 307.778.1303 or email the center.
About the Center
LCCC Children's Discovery Center commitment to quality includes a curriculum based on more than 75 years of early childhood development research. The Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers and Preschool Aged children is a nationally recognized curriculum that identifies goals in four areas of development: social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language. Parent-teacher conferences are held throughout the year and are designed to individualize goals for each child. All teachers have credentials in early childhood education.

The parent orientation manual contains additional information regarding the Children's Discovery Center.
Program Options
Infant Program
Because more learning and growth take place during the first three years of a child's life than any other time, the Children's Discovery Center has organized the infant classroom to meet the individual needs of children 6 weeks to 12 months of age.
The curriculum for infants is based on using schedules and routines to build positive relationships with primary caregivers.
Toddler Program
Children 12 to 36 months old continue to build on relationships learned in the infant program as they explore their expanding environment and acquire new skills.
Preschool Program
Children 3 to 4 years old are assessed to determine their individual developmental needs. In a developmentally appropriate setting, children are presented the opportunities they need to become successful learners as they master milestones on the Creative Curriculum Development Continuum.
Children 4 to 6 years old continue to make progress on the developmental continuum. Their individual skills and strengths are linked to the Wyoming Early Readiness Standards to better prepare each child for entry to kindergarten. Many children are able to read by the time they go to kindergarten round-up.
Half Day Kindergarten Readiness Program
Morning and afternoon sessions are available with classes running Monday through Thursday. There is also the option of two days a week Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday. The children in this class are 3.5 to 5 years old and there is a strong emphasis on academics and kindergarten preparation.
Multi Age Part Time
Children ages 18 months to 6 years old are provided with experiences and activities to help them develop social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language skills. Contracts are agreed on per semester with options of two hour minimum blocks, half days or full day.
Summer School Age Program
This is a program that runs from June to August for school age children. The hours are 7:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. The program is filled with activities and field trips designed to keep the children learning and having fun all summer. This program is open for children entering kindergarten to 6th/7th grade in the fall. This program has the option of selecting specific full days or attending full time Monday through Friday.

Danse Carpe Diem / Emmanuel Jouthe & Chiara Frigo
April 24-25-26 / 8 p.m.
Meet the choreographer : April 25
The contrasts that emerged when the Italian choreographer Chiara Frigo met the Quebec choreographer Emmanuel Jouthe led to the creation of When We Were Old. Their energies mingle together in this two-hander as they confront, nourish and contaminate each other. Two distinct individuals engage in a dialogue, and are united by dance. They discuss bygone days, the new replacing the old, the need to destroy in order to rebuild. Linked by Laurent Maslé's sound environment, two separate physical styles, two individuals from unrelated cultures give birth to a new poetry, a hybrid language of unsuspected richness.
"A rugged, hard-hitting piece, but one that gives rise to an almost unlikely beauty, raw and pure."
Aline Apostolska, La Presse, 2011 (review of Cinq humeurs)
"She's intelligent, she's got personality, good timing, precision, technique, an eye for detail and bringing all aspects of a performance together to make a whole"

One Direction: MTV Video Music Awards 2012 [PHOTOS]
Adorable British pop band One Direction showed off their charming good looks while walking the red carpet at this year's MTV Video Music Awards at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on Sept. 6th. Recently, Liam Payne celebrated his 19th birthday with girlfriend Danielle and went on a bike ride with bandmate Louis. The band won awards for the Most Share-Worthy Video and Best Pop Video for the song "What Makes You Beautiful."
These guys always look put together and handsome. Each of the guys other than Niall are wearing tailored blazers that look nice with their skinny pants. I'm loving Louis' hair! I'm not loving Zayne's white dress shirt though. You can't help but love these boys regardless of what they're wearing.

We're in Aruba and, because we're considering this hotel for our wedding, they upgraded us to a presidential suite and delivered champagne and chocolate to the room. So, obviously, for the rest of our lives we'll be telling any and all hotels we visit that they are in the running to host our upcoming function because wow, the presidential suite is pretty cool.
UPDATE: "What, you never stayed in a suite before, kid?"-my brother upon hearing multiple raves about the room.

It works better in a bad economy. Besides, Aruba really wants better press from the states.

Hsu PT, Chung HY, Wang JL, Lew HL: Successful conservative treatment of chronic atlantoaxial rotatory fixation in a child with torticollis.
A 7-yr-old girl was diagnosed with atlantoaxial rotatory fixation, a serious but treatable cause of acquired torticollis in children and not well known by clinical physicians. Two and a half years after conservative treatment, she had recovered completely. This case report suggests that if the patient has no previous adequate rehabilitation treatment, then conservative treatments are effective for chronic but stable atlantoaxial rotatory fixation.

Educators might be best able to reach difficult students -- and in turn become better teachers -- by changing their attitude toward those students, educational consultant and author Allen Mendler writes in this blog post. Mendler proposes an experiment where a teacher thinks of how they treat their best student when they do well or make a mistake and then maintain a similar attitude toward their most difficult student as well. "We are much more likely to influence change in others when we treat them as we want them to be rather than as they are," Mendler writes
