Several weeks ago, I had an argument about NBA salaries with several friends, who happened to be huge fans of the NHL, MLB, and NFL, but they are very anti-NBA.
They aggressively attacked underperfoming NBA players and players who are paid millions to ride the bench. They included role players and even some "superstars".
Immediately, I refuted their biased attacks. I explained to them that NBA players, unlike football players, are more recognizable because their faces can be seen by fans.
I brought up the fact that individual players like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, Chris Paul, and Dwight Howard can offer numerous memorable highlights in a 48-minute game. In constrast, players like A-Rod or Jeter may make no spectacular plays during the course of a game due to baseball's slow pace.
When the ESPN highlights are on, basketball dominates the show. As a result, basketball players are more marketable than other athletes, which translates to more money.
Lastly, I pointed out that players fill up the seats, not the organization. As long as owners are profiting and making a bunch of money, then NBA players should be rewarded. If Wall Street CEOs can get $40 million bonuses for mediocre-to-above-par work, then NBA players should get rewarded for filling up seats, winning games, and drawing endorsements. Good work should be rewarded.
Yet, with the downturning economy, very few NBA owners have been profiting lately. In fact, many of the smaller-to-average market teams are losing money, even to the point that they had put in loan requests to David Stern. Considering the financial woes of the NBA, my friends were partially right about underperforming players being a financial detriment to their team.
With that in mind, which of the NBA's version of overpaid executives (players) should be penalized or, at the very least, should volunteer to give back their salaries?
Note to readers: NBA players receive full health benefits, free visits to team physicians, doctors, and surgeons. Their uniforms are paid for, they fly for free on team planes, and they get free hotels with food prepared by team chefs. The organization basically covers for all their team-related expenses. For players who are not working overtime (playoffs), they can receive up to six months of vacation.

Steve Hackett at Casino du Lac Leamy Theatre
Casino du Lac Leamy Théâtre
Gatineau, Canada
October 5, 2013
It might seem odd that the guitarist who left Genesis more than 35 years ago has ultimately become the only one to champion the music made during the group's years spent in the progressive rock arena, while those who continued on as a trio expressed less and less interest in that music, becoming far more commercially successful with the '80s-style pop that became their ultimate destination. Even when that triokeyboardist Tony Banks, bassist/guitarist Mike Rutherford and drummer/vocalist Phil Collinsreconvened for a relatively small number of dates (but on its usual epic scale) in 2007, the emphasis weighed in favor of radio (and video) friendly hits like "Invisible Touch," "I Can't Dance" and "No Son of Mine," though there was at least some nod to the progressive music of its pastconsiderably more, in fact, than at any time since touring Duke (Atlantic, 1980), long considered by most to be the band's last gasp in the progressive arena.
But for Steve Hackett, the music that Genesis made during his tenurejoining the band in 1971 for that year's classic Nursery Cryme (Charisma) (the group's second "official" album, following 1970's Trespass (Charisma), through to his departure in October, 1977 after his own swan songs with the group (the studio Wind & Wuthering and live Seconds Out, both released by Atlantic that same year)has remained of key significance, and while he has continued to release a growing discography of stylistically diverse recordings under his own name in the ensuing decades, he's almost always included at least a handful of Genesis tunes in the set lists of his live performances.
Still, with the resurgence of interest in progressive rock fuelled by the internet's ability to bring together pockets of fans from around the globe, it was, perhaps, only a matter of time before he released Genesis Revisited (Camino), a fine first-crack, in 1996. But it was the far larger cast of characters and some particularly fine vocal turnsincluding Nik Kershaw's definitive "The Lamia," from Genesis' final album with founding singer Peter Gabriel, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Charisma, 1974); Jakko Jakszyk's stunning harmonies on "Entangled," from A Trick of the Tail (Charisma, 1976); and Nad Sylvan's dramatic interpretation of Nursery Cryme's "The Musical Box"that made Genesis Revisited 2 (Inside Out, 2012) not just a modern update of classic material, it perhaps blasphemously managed, in some cases, to actually surpass the originals. An even greater success than Hackett could have envisaged, the guitarist has spent most of 2013 on the road performing the Genesis Revisited show, with more dates already pushing the tour into 2014.
It's not as if there haven't been good Genesis tribute acts; The Musical Box, at times featuring Mahavishnu Project leader/drummer Gregg Bendian, has even gone so far as to gain permission from Genesis to launch performances of The Lamb that utilized the original concept album tour's slide show and costumes.
But to have one of the original members of Genesis bring a show that featured some of its best-loved progressive material back to life, and with a well-oiled, top-notch groupNad Sylvan impressively handling most of the vocal duties, with drummer Gary O'Toole also taking a couple of lead vocal spots; keyboardist Roger King adding some new textures to his own takes on Tony Banks' signature work; woodwind/saxophone/keyboardist Rob Townsend not only covering Gabriel's flute work, but doubling and/or harmonizing many of the touchstones that Hackett contributed back in the day; and bassist Lee Pomeroy also assuming 12-string duties on an impressive double-neck guitar, as well as handling the huge-sounding bass pedals that threatened to blow the roof off the theatre more than a few times? A group capable of treating the music with the reverence it deserved while, at the same, time adding its own interpretive slant? It's no surprise that Hackett received more than a few standing ovations throughout the nearly two-and-a-half hour show that he brought to the Théâtre at Casino du Lac Leamy in Gatineau, Quebec, part of the Canadian capital's Greater Metropolitan Area located just a few minutes' drive across the river from Ottawa.
In a most generous interview with Hackett prior to the show, he spoke of many things, including the motivation behind making Genesis Revisited 2:

Check out a tiny bra-less Kelly Ripa - or should we say, "Kelly Nipa," and her husband Mark Consuelos out and about in Tribeca yesterday. The affable star talked on her cellphone and smiled for photographers.
Kelly recently told People magazine that Mark pays her money to keep her clothes on. She joked, "I'm actually given money to put on a parka. 'Put your parka on! Here's another dollar. Put on that hat!'"
Fun facts about Kelly:
-She's of Irish and Italian descent.
-She got her start in acting on USA's "Dance Party USA."
-Her passions include shoes, Madonna, and the TV series "Wife Swap."

Reggie Middleton Interview With USA Watchdog: Collapse in Europe is Absolutely
- font size decrease font size increase font size
http://usawatchdog.com - The stock market rallied on news the European debt crisis is on its way to being fixed, but is it really? Not a chance, says today's guest. Reggie Middleton of BoomBustblog.com says, "Europe is insolvent," and nothing is fixed. Middleton contends, "Collapse in Europe is absolutely unavoidable. It's a foregone conclusion." Why should you listen to this entrepreneurial investor? He has made many stunning calls. He said Bear Stearns was insolvent when its stock was trading for well over $100 per share. He warned about Lehman Brothers and predicted the financial crisis of 2008 long before they happened. Now, he says, "Europe is coming to the end of the road very soon," and a "system crash is the only way to fix the problem." Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog.com goes "One-on-One" with Reggie Middleton.

Does Bully Max Work? Bully Max Side Effects and other things you should know. Bully Max is a product that is designed to gain muscle mass on your dogs. It is especially beneficial to dogs that you have for show purposes. Just like humans, a muscle building supplement alone will not get you results. You will need to exercise and eat right along with these supplements. You dog should be fed a varied diet containing mostly meat. From my personal experience, I can safely say Bully Max works! but it is not that simple as adding this to your dog's diet.
Bully Max Diet, Bully Max Side Effects
Before getting your dog started with Bully Max, put your dog on mostly raw diet. Any dog enthusiasts will tell you that the best food for your dog is raw meat. I myself feed my Pit Bull Terrier raw meat with great results. There is nothing like natural protein, you need to also mix raw meats with vegetables
such as broccoli to provide a varied diet. My American Pit Bull Terrier loves to eat boiled broccoli, different dogs may like different veggies but try them all. A lot of dogs like carrots as well in their diet. After their diet every day you can give them the chew able Bully max tablets to snack on. I haven't noted any sign of Bully max side effects with any of my dogs. However, I have closely followed the recommended dosage below.
Recommended dosage for the product are as follows:
- For canines under ten pounds give half a tablet everyday
- For canines over ten pounds give one to two tablets everyday
- For sick and canines going through pregnancy under ten pounds give one tablet daily
- For sick, pregnant canine over ten pounds give two tablets daily.
Buying Bully Max
When buying the Bully max supplement, be sure to at least get the 240 capsules for $70. The reason being, muscle building isn't done overnight. It will take some time for the results to develop. You would be wasting money on the 2 months supply. Once your dog is up there with their results you can either cut back or keep them on the raw diet I mentioned above. Bully Max is a product worth buying because it does provide results. You can see the video results of a Pit Bull on Bully max below and see for yourself. These results were taken within 30 days of the supplement and it is nowhere close to its maximum potential.
Bully Max Results Video
This dog is an American Pit Bull Terrier with the bloodlines of Razor's Edge and Camelot bloodline. The Camelot blood line gives the dog its height. This is a female Pit Bull Terrier in the video so you will not see her get as big as male would. I haven't noted any Bully Max side effects with my dogs, they are happy and vibrant as ever. Many online reviews are saying how great Bully Max worked for them and from personally trying this product, I can say myself it works! However my results are based on the raw diet described in this article, follow it and you should get the same results or better.

Skip to comments.The '92 riot: Revisiting a darkday in LA history [Interview with kid who beat Reginald Denny]
Posted on 04/26/2012 3:24:47 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper
Henry Keith Watson remembers April 29, 1992, as if it happened just last week. History won't allow him to forget it. It was a day that marked the beginning of one of the deadliest, most destructive race riots in the nation's history, and one in which Watson's spur-of-the-moment decision to take part made him one of the enduring faces of the violence...
As the liquor store at the intersection of Florence and Normandie was being looted and white passersby were fleeing a barrage of rocks and bottles, Denny stopped his big rig to avoid running over someone. He was quickly dragged from the cab and nearly beaten to death by Watson and a handful of others. As the attack unfolded on live TV, Watson stepped on Denny's head after Damian Williams smashed the trucker's skull in with a brick.
Me too...Obamma 101
There is some kind of disconnect between cause and effect going on. In the article, they bemoan that there are no grocery stores and no businesses other than the gas station and liquor store.
Who would want to invest their life's savings in that neighborhood and take the chance that some unrelated event would cause the destruction of their business, looting of their goods, and potentially lead to the loss of their life, or their employees' lives?
Actions have consequences.
Maxine Waters on the Los Angeles riots of 1992 (Rodney King riots):
"[Maxine] Waters has been criticized for her comments regarding the Los Angeles riots of 1992. In defense of the people that looted stores and damaged property, Waters said 'If you call it a riot it sounds like it was just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason. I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable. So I call it a rebellion.'[5] She also said it was 'a spontaneous reaction to a lot of injustice' and 'The anger in my district is righteous. I'm just as angry as they are.' She responded to the mass looting of Korean-owned stores by saying: 'There were mothers who took this as an opportunity to take some milk, to take some bread, to take some shoes. They are not crooks. Everybody in the street was not a thug or a hood.'"
From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party's] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.
Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"
"The RCP [Revolutionary Communist Party] upheld the 1992 sometimes-violent unrest in Los Angeles and nationally as a 'rebellion' in the aftermath of the Rodney King verdicts. Then-LAPD chief Daryl Gates alleged that the RCP was involved in the 'riots'. Los Angeles has long been one of the RCP's larger and more active branches. William 'Mobile' Shaw was a local leader who recently passed and received public commendation from the party."
"I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable. So I call it a rebellion."--Maxine Waters
Here's the original source for the Van Jones quote about the time he spent in jail following the Rodney King/LA riots (Jones was arrested in "peaceful" protests in San Fran). It was in a 2005 interview he did with East Bay Express. They of course (what else?) claim he "renounced his rowdy Black Nationalist ways" since then (yet he's calling for "complete revolution" in Aug 2009!):
But in jail, he said, "I met all these young radical people of color -- I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a part of.'" Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. "I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary." In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. "I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th," he said. "By August, I was a communist."
"Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal".--James (Jim) Cone,
African American Religious Thought: An Anthology (Paperback)
by Cornel West (Editor), Eddie S. Glaude Jr. (Editor)
SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"
WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.
HANNITY: But I'm a reverend
WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?
Malik Zulu Shabazz, chairman of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (NBPP):
"We believe in a Black first philosophy and a Black Liberation Theology."
This is a community that has been assured by government for generations now that actions do not have consequences. This is one of the main roots of perhaps the biggest problem in America today.
Obama's former "Green Jobs Czar", Van Jones, links "Green Movement" to revolutionary communist movement!
See "Goal is complete revolution" below...
"Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to President Obama, speaks [lovingly] about Green Job Czar, Van Jones, at the Netroots Convention on August 12, 2009. Then Van Jones speaks about [a COMMUNIST] transforming [of] the whole society."
"Jones was the leader and founder of a radical group, the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM. That group, together with Jones' Elle Baker Center for Human Rights, led a vigil Sept. 12, 2001, at Snow Park in Oakland, Calif.
STORM's official manifesto, titled, "Reclaiming Revolution," surfaced on the Internet."--via TheObamaFile
VAN JONES SHOCK ADMISSION [in his own words]: "Goal is Complete Revolution"
Here is the transcript of the above YouTube video:
Right after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat if the civil rights leaders had jumped out and said OK now we want reparations for Slavery, we want redistribution of all the wealth, and we want to legalize mixed marriages. If wed come out with a maximum program the very next day, theyd been laughed at. Instead they came out with a very minimum. We just want to integrate these busses
But, inside that minimum demand was a very radical kernel that eventually meant that from 1964 to 1968 complete revolution was on the table for this country.
And, I think that this green movement has to pursue those same steps and stages.
Right now we say we want to move from suicidal gray capitalism to something eco-capitalism where at least were not fast-tracking the destruction of the whole planet. Will that be enough? No, it wont be enough. We want to go beyond the systems of exploitation and oppression all together. But, thats a process and I think thats whats great about the movement that is beginning to emerge is that the CRISIS is so severe in terms of joblessness, violence and now ecological threats that people are willing to be both pragmatic and visionary.
So the green economy will start off as a small subset and we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society.
SOURCE for this transcript (it matches the video):
I remember after the riots seeing the 10 block long lines at the remaining post office and the trash waiting for days
to pick up their welfare checks.
Will the Trayvon riots make the L.A. riot look like a Sunday school picnic? They will if $harpton, Jack$on and Obama have anything to say about it.
Where is zer0 and Holder confronting the people who have a bounty out? How can they be responsible office holders and say nothing publicly about a bounty?
Fla is not libstate cali. People in Fla won't be amenable to little black haters beating on them. They will fight back.
———like it was just a bunch of crazy people-——
They were not crazies, they were feral human detritus. AKA earth scum
My dad worked for LAPD during the riots.
One of the street gangs hit a gun store as the verdict was delivered. They started the first fires to cover their robbery. After that, the vermin of LA just followed.
Note to self, don't break for riots.
Yeah they are, including you, ya thievin' communist bich!
Whereas, back in the day of the LA riots, black neighborhoods were burned down, now Van Jones wants to "progress" to burn down White middle class neighborhoods.
They threatened to do leading up to the LA riots and people on the outskirts of the ghetto gathered their homies, got organized and loaded for bear. What a disaster. Although it would be next to impossible to bus in black rioters to white neighborhoods, there is a chance the politicans would allow that to happen given how they are acting during the Zimmerman case.
After that, the vermin of LA just followed.
The vermin of today follow the most evil leaders they can find. It's why so many Blacks are in prison and why they are attacking white people and will riot again. There does not seem to be anymore influential Black Christian leaders who are not like Rev. Wright - racist haters and scapegoaters.
Florida has a lot more non rioters who are armed.
LA's black population has shriveled. If there's a repeat, there's a non-zero risk of Hispanic gangs conducting a massacre of blacks in their neighborhoods. I hope PD's across the nation are prepped for the unrest and hit the troublemakers hard and fast, because large scale casualties among innocents in the black community will become yet another reason why non-black community owes bajillions in monetary reparations.
The LA Riot was unexpected. People reacted to the verdict, but had not planned on it.
The Zimmerman acquittal is scheduled. A lot of people are looking forward to May 9 (and if not that day, then a few other planned days).
It's about communist revolution. They want to bring down the System. Everyone around Obama is strongly linked to the movement. It's not only "reverend" Wright, Obama and the New Black Panthers that advocate communist "Black Liberation", 60-70s terror groups the Weather Underground, the original Black Panthers, the murderous Black Liberation Army (obviously) and the Symbionese Liberation Army (Patty Hearst) advocated it as well. Black Liberation "Theology" uses bogus religious movements concocted by communists to stir up anger in the Black community in order to set the stage for revolution. The so-called "Nation of Islam" is one such phony religious operation. Wright's "church", another.
Louis Farrakhan, Santiago de Cuba, February, 1998:
"There is not a member of the black masses in the United States who is not proud of the example set by Cuba and its revolution, with Comandante Fidel at its head"
Source: http://www.fiu.edu/~fcf/farakhan21898.html#says
"Minister Farrakhan and his delegation met privately with President Fidel Castro of Cuba."
Unity generates power to change reality
By the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
"The time has never been more ripe for a strategic relationship between the Black, Brown, Native American and the poor of this nation and the world."
"We need a Ministry of Defense. Our young men are born soldiers, but they are in the wrong war. They are fighting a war in the streets of America against each other, or they are fighting an unjust war overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. We need to bring our boys home and put them into the Ministry of Defense, so we can defend our communities, rather than destroy our communities.
We need a Ministry of Art and Culture. We applaud the hip hop community, the leaders of young people all over the world, but I want the young generation of artists to know there is a bigger purpose for art and culture than popping our fingers and shaking our backsides.
Mao Tse Tung, throughout his long march to conquer China, had a billion people whose lives he had to transform. Many of them were victims of opium, drugs and prostitution, like we are. But Mao Tse Tung went to the cultural community and they accepted his idea. Then, through song, dance, poetry, drama, documentaries, movies and books, the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people. China became a world power on the base of culture and the artistic community. If we had a Ministry of Art and Culture in every city, [we'd] create this movement [in the U.S.], we could say to our young people, What is the idea of the Time and are you reflecting that idea in your songs, dance and music?
We need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce. Do you think that a Millions More Movement should not be involved in the development of Africa, the Caribbean and Central America? ... we need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce that can link the struggle here with Africa and the Caribbean, Central and South America.

Farrakhan hails Obama as 'hope of entire world'
Louis Farrakhan, at the annual Saviours' Day celebration in Chicago, Feb. 25, 2008: "This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better"..."If you look at Barack Obama's audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed."

Video of Farrakhan's Obama endorsement at the above 'annual Saviours' Day celebration in Chicago, Feb. 25, 2008'. Hear him (Farrakhan) call Obama "The Messiah" And speak of "universal change":
20 years after riots ripped through Los Angeles, UPRISING documents how hip hop forecastedand some say ignitedthe worst civil unrest of the 20th century. The film revisits the riots in gripping detail and draws from a diverse collection of voicesthe rappers, rioters, victims, police officers, journalists and everyday citizens of South Central Los Angeles. The documentary traces the rise of dissent in Los Angeles in the 80s and 90s and explores why citizens chose to rise up violently against police abuse and perceived injustices.Punishing the guilty is not police abuse. This was a rebellion against law and order that deserved a commensurate response and did not get it. It has not improved the standing of the so-called black community (more like commune thanks to leftist policies) but instead greatly increased the racial divide via lies, propaganda and senseless violence. This has sparked what Victor Davis Hanson has called white counter-rageand if people like Holder think they can keep playing the race card to any advantage, their historical legacy may permanently paint them as the villains that brought America down for no reason at all.

Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis is a lover of height, weight and speed on his football players. His quarterbacks even have to be big and able to throw a football 80 yards (70 minimum).
That is a good combination to have in a football player, but skill is the most necessary ingredient a player needs. Over the years, the Raiders have been able to add skill to some of their height, weight and speed freaks.
But when they couldn't, they really couldn't, and that would lead to some downright embarrassing football. There were some individual players that really took the cake in that category.
Turn the page to see who they are.

other stuff | August 13, 2010
Back in March, we announced our first contest ever.
The winners, we thought, had some incredible ideas! With tons of entries, this is one of our three runners up. Billie Wheeler. Shoot inspired by Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland.
Billie is like...umm.....a "WOOOOOAHHH" kind of creative gal! Wish she would let me hire her!!! College first, I suppose. ;)
The shoot was extremely challenging for me, the selecting and processing of the images was equally as hard as the shoot. Overall, I was stretched creatively and so was my staff. Great, great idea Billie! Thanks for letting us play with your imagination!
Ryan Hayes says:
Wow, that is seriously awesome! I love the table trotting shot!(08.13.10 @ 01:50 PM)
Jessica B says:
Excellent!! All of them! I love the forest too. I am so jealous of the foliage you have to work with.(08.13.10 @ 02:44 PM)

Vt. voters to winners: Make peace not politicsBy Kevin O'Connor
STAFF WRITER | November 11,2012Kevin O'Connor / Staff Photo
Campaign signs outside Burlington polls illustrate what Vermonters say, according to an Election Day survey, is the increasingly divisive nature of politics.Eugene Preston, the third of five generations to work his family's Randolph dairy farm, has good reason for wanting government to fix the economy.
"All expenses keep going up," the 60-year-old says, "except the price for my milk."
But the Vermonter believes for newly elected leaders to help him, they first must heal themselves.
"My No. 1 priority for them is to forget about partisanship. They just don't care about the average person, they just care about their politics."
Ask Election Day voters from Brattleboro to Burlington what the winners need to do now and the answer is unanimous, according to interviews in seven major cities and towns: Get the state and nation's houses — and senates — in order.
Norman Garceau went to the Springfield polls with his wife and a wish: "More jobs." The 61-year-old used to drive 150 miles to work at a bookbindery in Connecticut. Then the business closed in February.
"I can't get hired, and I've been everywhere. The whole country's in trouble."
Garceau cast his ballot Tuesday to "try to make it better." That said, he wasn't holding out hope.
"I can't see the president creating jobs — it's got to be up to the companies."
Not that Vermonters have given up on the political system. Unlike voters in most other states, more here agree with the statement "government should do more to solve problems" than with the statement "government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals," according to an Associated Press exit poll of 888 voters in 15 Green Mountain precincts.
A majority, for example, favor a plan for all Vermonters to procure health insurance through the state, the survey reports.
In Brattleboro, Darlene Jenson, 59, sees the need both as the mother of a son with a disability and as the director of a theater program for people with similar challenges.
"It's a day-to-day issue for us. He and they need support and I don't want that to go away."
One in five Vermonters surveyed cited health care as their top concern — second only to the economy, ranked by about half of voters as the most important issue.
In Montpelier, 66-year-old retiree Karen Jackson put those two talking points under the umbrella of "sustainable living."
"That also covers our impact on the environment, definitions of family and a kinder, gentler civility."
The latter, she says, is something polarized leaders have yet to learn.
"I'm annoyed with Congress and the way it has been behaving. Then again, the coop and city council is always at loggerheads. We need to listen to each other and look for common ground."
In Burlington, University of Vermont student Jonathan Besett, 21, noted recent storms — be it Irene or Sandy — that united people and politicians.
"We need to focus on where we agree rather than where we are divided."
That's easier said than done. As Besett spoke, U.S. Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., arrived at the polls.
"There are many people who want to see our state become a national leader," Sanders said. "But the simple and sad reality is right-wing extremism — that's the essential problem."
In Springfield, Democratic candidates brought coffee and donuts for their Republican counterparts.
"We're a bipartisan group here," state Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell, D-Windsor, said as he served his peers.
But rewind to this past legislative session and infighting by fellow Democrats, and you're reminded that cooperation isn't simply a GOP issue.
Some voters sympathized. Paul and Jessica Orvis rolled into the Middlebury polls with a stroller carrying their two young sons.
"When I'm voting, I think about my children," he said.
She agreed — then laughed that the husband and wife, both 30, had canceled each other's presidential ballots.
In Brattleboro, fellow parent Kelly Coleman cited a long list of concerns past the sluggish economy and stubborn unemployment.
"Climate change, social justice … no problem, right?" the 35-year-old said. "The stalemate in Congress has been frustrating for everyone. It makes you feel good to live in Vermont, where politicians are making progress."
As for the future of the nation? The Vermonter eyed her 10-month-old son.
"There's always the potential for improvement — there better be."

Hyperlinks in briefs to citations and the record will not be required, but are highly desirable and strongly encouraged.

PURPOSE: This study examined child health worry among mothers of medically fragile infants with differing health problems and identified factors associated with maternal worry.
SUBJECTS: Medically fragile infants were term (38%) and preterm (62%) infants who had a life-threatening health problem that necessitated a long hospitalization and dependence on technology for survival. The 78 mothers were recruited during their infants' hospitalization. Their mean age was 26 years. Most had a high school education, were married, and were from diverse ethnic/racial backgrounds.
DESIGN: Descriptive correlational design using data from a larger longitudinal study.
METHODS: Mothers completed questionnaires while the infants were hospitalized.
OUTCOME MEASURES: Instruments measured worry about the child's health (Child Health Worry Scale), maternal characteristics (demographic questionnaire), satisfaction with family (Family APGAR scale), illness-related stress (Parental Stressor Scale: Infant Hospitalization), and illness-related factors (diagnostic category, age/days hospitalized, and technology dependence).
RESULTS: The highest source of worry was medical problems, followed by worry about whether the child would be normal, when the child could come home, and whether the child would always be sick. There was no significant difference in level of worry among mothers of infants with chronic lung disease, congenital airway anomalies, severe gastrointestinal problems, complex congenital heart disease, neurologic diagnoses, and those grouped as other. Fewer days hospitalized, lower maternal education, and higher stress associated with the child's appearance and behavior were related to higher levels of maternal worry.
CONCLUSIONS: Mothers of critically ill infants, regardless of the type of diagnosis, worry about aspects of their infant's health. Mothers, especially mothers with a low educational level, need support from nurses to understand and cope with their infant's illness to reduce distress associated with worry.

Because the da Vinci robotic procedure is minimally invasive when compared to traditional surgery, patients receive considerably smaller incisions and experience quicker recovery times.
During a procedure, the surgeon operates the sophisticated robot from a console, while the bedside surgeon works in tandem guiding the placement of the surgical ports and directing the robot into the patient.
At Huntington Memorial Hospital, we have an extensive team of surgeons who have been trained on the da Vinci system each specializing in different area of expertise. Our capabilities for different robotic procedures using the da Vinci robotic system cover a broad range of specialty areas.

Premiere Date: November 1, 2012
In the swamplands of Lake County, Florida, troubled teens have little to do but act out and break the law. Mariah, 13, an angry thug who got into physical fights with school officials and family members, was shocked to discover a member of her own family behind bars.
At the Conclusion of Production:
Focused on basketball and staying home, Mariah has now stopped fighting. Her mom says she has completely changed since the jail visit.
Latest Update: February 2013:
Mariah entered Lake County Jail with an aggressive and disrespectful attitude. She was determined to make the deputies' jobs as difficult as possible. "When I first arrived at the jail," she recalls, "and the deputies were in my face, I had an attitude to where I was going to go in there and really, like, make them have the worst day possible."
However, during the tour she was moved by the experience of seeing her cousin locked up behind bars as well as inspired by an officer's pep talk challenging her to focus on her love of basketball. The officers taught her to take the respect she felt for her fellow players and extend it to others.
Six months after the jail tour, Mariah has changed her ways. She hasn't been involved in fighting and, as her mother told producers, "She's trying to squash all the beef with everyone she has beef with."
Her dedication to her basketball team has allowed her to focus her energy on achieving goals. She has found new friends, and enjoys spending time with her family. She says, "Before I was angry basically all the time unless I got my way. But whether I get my way or not, I'm still gonna smile, I'm still gonna be happy. It feels better to be this way."

I know I haven't gotten enough burn-in on the MLs, but I still find the MS1s with HM5 pads do a better job of the bass at this point. I was listening to this song and took note of it at this point, which is where I like to take reference for depth of bass from.
Very low bass at that point in the song that can be difficult for some headphones to even render audible. I hear it on both 'phones, but prefer how the MS1 renders it. More sub-bass. Seriously. However, I had never actually heard the - mmm... I think it's a kind of distant snare sound -that plays at the same time as the bass notes before. Now that I know it's there, I can strain to hear them on the MS1s whereas they're clear as the light of day on the MLs. These are serious detail monsters, gotta say that. There's a whole load of reverb and other sounds that I've started noticing in my collection, too. Lots of, "WTF is that sound?" going on :D.
Again, this is all a "right now" thing. I have lots of burning in to still do, not bashing the holy Mikros.
hey guys...on my mikros, i hear a constant strong dubdubdubdub at 3,29..sub beat thruoghout....clear n precise..
no straining...very very nice..like a helicopter blade spinning in those war movie.
and alot of background little gigglings..watever those are.

Last year NATO finished the several years in the making Afghanistan Flood Hazard Map (AFG-FHM) and presented it to the Afghan government. While the map is sadly not only NATO did release a video press release on the flooding problem, the issues with the map creation, its release to the Afghan government. There is even a neat preview of the detailedness of the map.

Prep time: 10 minutes. Cooking time: 35 minutes.
Rinse millet. Place in a large saucepan and add 4 cups water. Soak overnight or for several hours.
Bring millet to a boil. Cover, lower heat and simmer 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Add minced celery, carrot, onion, parsley and salt and stir until well combined.
Form into burgers. Heat about 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet.
Cook as many burgers as will fit in the pan until browned on both sides and heated through, about 5 minutes total. Repeat with remaining burgers. Serve immediately.
Note: If you don't have time to soak the millet, rinse it and cook it with 3 cups of water for 20 to 25 minutes. This results in a grainier texture (the longer you cook millet, the creamier it gets), but it yields a great texture for the burgers. The burgers are great to make when you have leftover millet from another meal.

Note: you can find organic chocolate chips here if that's what you're looking for. 🙂
Yes, I know I shouldn't be including chocolate chips into my baked goods too much, due to all the sugar, but I happen to LOVE them, so they're still in the house. However, I know that I don't want to give my kids chocolate chips unless they're GMO-free.
(Click here for a basic GMO definition.)
First, read this GMO post if you want to know what is the big deal with GM foods, a.k.a. "Frankenfoods".
On to the scoop about chocolate chips
…because after all, chocolate is pretty important in the whole scheme of things…are ya with me?
I called each company, and this is what I found out when checking out the three brands of chocolate chips that are on our local grocery store shelves (and it drives me crazy that this information isn't just listed on their labels!):
- Nestle – they use GMO ingredients and gave me a long spiel about how their products are perfectly safe and how GMO's haven't been proven dangerous, blah blah blah. I told her, "I'm sorry, I know you're just saying what you're supposed to, but that's not a risk I am willing to take." (We were told not long ago that trans fats were safe, too.)
- Hersheys – I was the first person to ask about GMO's! So because of that, all they could say was, "Our foods are safe for consumption." Reassuring, isn't it? In other words, yes, they probably DO use GMO ingredients.
- Ghirardelli – to their credit, they were all over the GMO issue. Shauna, the gal I spoke to, explained that they were GMO free until they recently started using a new sugar supplier, so now SOME of their sugar comes from GM crops, but they're working to get that back out and she said she'd call me when she knows more in a month or two. By the way, when I buy white chocolate chips, I have always bought Ghirardelli because they have no trans fats and the others I've seen all still do.
- I wish I had a bag of the dairy-free chocolate chips that my friend, Amy O. uses. I'd like to call and see if those are GMO-free. If anyone has some of those and can find out, please comment. If they pass the no-GMO filter, I'll probably buy these to try, I can't remember how they taste…
- UPDATE – duh, I totally forgot to include organic chocolate chips in this list – those would for sure be GMO-free. (They're usually expensive so I'm not in the habit of buying them.) Does anyone know a good organic brand? (This has probably already been covered down in the comments but I have to run back out the door and haven't read them yet.)
- LAST UPDATE (maybe) – my friend Sue just reminded me that she had called Trader Joe's about chocolate chips and they told her ALL their products are non-GMO!!! Can't believe I forgot that, I'm a bit of a ditz in case you haven't figured it out yet. Off to catch up on the comments, where you've all probably already said all this…
All this makes a case for avoiding the stupid things, doesn't it?
Anyone have a better source for GMO-free, good tasting chocolate to use in recipes like…oh I don't know…CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES???
- Check out the recipe that prompted me to look into all this: Double chocolate raspberry bars, Mmmmmm…
- Find organic chocolate chips here

Someone give Jason a Sign!!
Tomorrow is Friday, which means that we will finally know whether Jason Varitek will be returning. My endless crusade for his return for the past three months will finally come to an end. You have heard from me countless times about his intangible impact on the pitching staff and what not, but this weekend be prepared to hear something new. I hope that tomorrow evening [presumably], I will be posting a celebratory entry, with tears of joy rolling down my cheeks, and Jason Varitek brownies will be cooking in the oven.
How about bringing Derek Lowe back?
So I've heard that Derek Lowe wants to come back, and that the Sox would be interested in starting him. What harm could that do? I think everyone still loves him in RSN, there's no real reason not to. He only left after '04 because he was a free agent, it's not like he betrayed an entire organization and went to a team that he said he would never go to (yeah, y'all know who I'm talking about right?). Plus, it would add some serious depth to our starting rotation. Look who we already have:
World Series (Games 3 and 4… Game 5), Red Sox offseason
So unfortunately, I was unable to see Game 3, but I heard it was pretty epic. Crazy ninth inning or something for the Phillies? I still have to watch the recap, and I'm behind on everything else too. Then there was Game 4, which got to be a crazy blowout game from what I heard. Ryan Howard, the sleeping giant, has awoken and helped boost the Phillies to victory in a 10-2 game. The Phillies now lead the series 3-1 and their chances are looking pretty strong. I'm sure Matt Garza at least pitched decently in Game 3, since it was a pretty close game after all. Originally, I thought that in order for the Phillies to win, Cole Hamels would have to win both his starts. But even Jamie Moyer did well. I truly enjoy watching Cole Hamels pitch, he is pretty attractive. The Rays are now in a must win situation, and they're sending out Scott Kazmir to pitch Game 5. Now, I don't think that anyone should chalk up a win just because Cole Hamels is pitching. That's kind of what happened to Jon Lester, remember? So, I think that everyone just needs to relax.

CINCINNATI — An unarmed mentally ill man who died during a confrontation with police was shocked with a Taser seven times, kicked and repeatedly struck with a baton, all mostly after he had fallen face-first onto concrete and stopped moving, according to newly released court documents.
Police in the Cincinnati suburb of Mason previously said only that Doug Boucher, 39, died after he was shocked by a Taser, but they hadn't revealed how many times or other details surrounding the Dec. 13, 2009, incident, including the fact that an unresponsive Boucher was lying face-down on the ground for five of the seven stuns he received.
Now, attorneys for Boucher's parents and the police department are preparing to square off in federal court in Cincinnati on Jan. 10. The department is pushing for the case to be dropped; Boucher's parents want their lawsuit against them alleging excessive force and unreasonable seizure to move forward to a jury trial set for February.
Hundreds of pages of newly filed court documents in the case reveal the moments leading up to Boucher's sudden death.
Officers Daniel Fry and Sean McCormick were at a Mason convenience store on the night of Dec. 13, 2009, when a 19-year-old clerk told them that a customer — the 6-foot-tall, 300-pound Boucher — had just made a lewd comment to her, had made the same comment to her earlier that day, and she wanted him to leave, according to the officers' report.
When officers approached Boucher, a musician who had untreated bipolar disorder, they testified that Boucher repeatedly apologized and became nervous before they ordered him outside. When McCormick approached him, "he clenches his fists and he just screams at me" to leave him alone, the officer said.
That's when McCormick pulled his Taser and ordered Fry to handcuff Boucher.
Fry said Boucher punched him in the head twice as he tried to cuff him. A wrestling match ensued before McCormick yelled for Fry to move and shocked Boucher in the chest with the Taser, causing him to fall to his knees.
The officers said Boucher then spotted the clerk outside, got up and ran toward her while yelling.
That's when Fry pulled his Taser and zapped Boucher in the back, causing him to fall hard, face-first onto the pavement, landing with his hands underneath him and out of the officers' view.
McCormick ordered Fry to stun him twice more with the Taser. Information downloaded from the device showed that Fry used the Taser on Boucher six times in a 75-second period — five times after he had stopped moving.
A third officer, Bradley Walker, testified that when he arrived, he saw McCormick hit a motionless Boucher with a baton about five times and saw Fry use the Taser on him once.
The officers pulled Boucher's arms out to his sides, handcuffed him twice, patted him down and turned him over, only to find that he wasn't breathing and his face was covered in blood. Boucher was dead minutes later despite attempts to revive him.
Butler County Deputy Coroner James Swinehart found that Boucher did not have alcohol or drugs in his system and died from the fall, although he said he couldn't rule out that the seven Taser stuns were a factor.
Fry and McCormick said their use of force was appropriate, given that they couldn't see Boucher's hands, that he had punched one of them and had been running toward the clerk.
Neither officer was disciplined, and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation cleared both of wrongdoing.
Jennifer Branch, the Boucher family's attorney, said that the situation never should have happened, that Boucher should have been allowed to get in his car and leave because making a lewd comment is not a criminal offense. But even after the alleged assault on Fry, Branch said, the use of force was inappropriate.
"You cannot kick someone, tase them five times, and beat them with a baton if they're passive," she said.

We like to think that, for the most part, who we are is based on life experience, hard knocks and good old-fashioned attitude. Sure, genetics plays a part, but ultimately it's your own choices that matter -- you're not "destined" to be anything.
But science, as it usually does, has some surprising and kind of scary things to tell us. Apparently, no matter what kind of life you lead, scientists can still figure out who you'll be at 30 based on who you were as a toddler. Studies show ...
6If a 4-Year-Old Is Patient, He or She Will Be a Successful Adult
In the 1960s, a Stanford psychologist basically tortured 653 4- to 6-year-old kids by putting candy in front of them and telling them not to eat it. In the process, he may have unlocked the entire secret to a successful life.
The experiment went like this: The children were placed in front of a plate of treats like marshmallows and Oreos and told that they had a choice -- they could either choose one treat right away, or get two treats later. All they had to do to double their treats was sit alone with the candy for 15 minutes while the researcher left the room. It was testing their ability to delay gratification.
"Candy now always beats candy later."
Naturally, most of the kids at least attempted to wait, but when left alone, they began sweating and seizing like heroin addicts. Most of them cracked and went on a sugar-devouring rampage. Only about 30 percent were able to hang in there for the whole 15 minutes. And those kids wound up being more successful in life.
They found this out with a follow-up study on those same kids, and learned that the impatient children were more likely to be stressed, found it harder to maintain friendships and had lower SAT scores. The SAT scores of the kids who delayed gratification for the full 15 minutes were, on average, 210 points higher, and their parents described them as "significantly more competent." Though at this stage, it could still theoretically be chalked up to the brain-destroying power of marshmallow overconsumption.
"I'm about to get ten kinds of stupid all up in this mofo."
Then, in their 30s, the patient kids were living Leave It to Beaver-like lives of happiness and success, and the impatient kids were more likely to be fat, unhappy drug addicts. So the researchers decided to scan their subjects' brains to see what was going on up there. Apparently, the patient subjects had a lot of prefrontal cortex activity, meaning they had greater control over social behavior and planning. The scans of the impatient kids showed more activity in the ventral striatum, the portion of the brain commonly linked with addiction.
So, if you want to predict the futures of the 4- to 6-year-old children in your life, tell them to not eat a marshmallow for 15 minutes. If they don't eat it, continue pumping cash into their college funds. If they do, just go ahead and buy that speedboat you've always wanted.
Use it to flee the greedy crotchspawn you unleashed upon the world.
5Babies Fed on Demand Are More Likely to Be Smart
So, now that you're familiar with the above test, you might think that this means good parents will teach their kids to wait for their food, damn it! If they're not born with the ability to delay gratification, then you'll delay it for them! That'll teach the little bastards!
Nope. While conventional wisdom says that giving kids what they want, whenever they want, is the best way to create terrible humans, research says otherwise -- at least when we're talking about infants. Babies who are fed on their own terms (i.e., "whenever they start crying") have IQs up to five points higher at age 8 than babies who are fed according to a set schedule. They also do better on their SATs -- the effect lasts right through their teens.
The exact moment destiny determines who is and who isn't a crack whore.
And this was a huge study, too -- 10,419 children all together. The Institute for Social and Economic Research found that "schedule-fed babies performed around 17 percent of a standard deviation below demand-fed babies in standardized tests at all ages, and four points lower in IQ tests at age 8 years."
And yes, before you ask, this proved still to be true after the study had corrected for socially disadvantaged kids and mothers who couldn't afford to feed their kids until they started trying to eat the bars of their cribs. In fact, poor kids scored the same advantage as rich kids who were just as demanding.
"Look, I can use this to order some food, or I can just start eating the money itself. I'm a baby, I don't give a fuck."
Author and psychologist Penelope Leach says it has to do with the development of the baby brain, which is in the early stages of learning how to communicate with other humans. At that age, the "Crying for food equals I get food" lesson and bonding with mom are more important than the "Life is a cruel bitch that laughs at my desires" lesson that will inevitably be taught later.

The number of flaws on a VHS magnetic tape produced continuously at a factory follows a Poisson distribution with an average of 0.01 flaws per meter. A standard VHS cassette tape contains 250 meters of magnetic tape.
a) What is the probability that there are at least two flaws in a single VHS cassette tape?
b) What is the probability that there are no flaws in a single VHS cassette tape; that is, a tape is flawless?
c)In a random sample of 20 cassettes, what is the probability that at least two of them are flawless?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You for helping... I just wanna make sure i understand correctly,
a)P(x=1) =0.21 (table 2 gives 0.287)
P(x=0) =0.08 (table 2 gives 0.082)
1-(0.287+0.082)= 0.63
Therefore there is a 63% chance that atleast 2 flaws in a single VHS tape.
b)P(x=0) = 0.082
c) μ = 1.64
P(x=1)= 0.318
P(x=0) =.194
P(x>1) = 1-(.318+.194) =.488
P.S. I used P (x=k)= [(μ^k)(e^-μ)]/k!
