I have been a nurse educator at OHSU since 1999. I have found my greatest challenges and biggest rewards in clinical education – teaching students the bedside application of nursing science to help patients' adapt to health care alterations. I have been immersed in simulation education since 2006. I have developed manikin-based simulations as well as simulations for use with standardized patients. In addition to my work in the graduate program teaching new nurse educators how to teach with simulation, I am also responsible for the ongoing development of our campus faculty competency in simulation teaching. While I hold my undergraduate students to the goal of developing competence in implementing national standards of best nursing practice, I hold myself and to a similar goal; my educational methods need to reflect an evidence base that supports their use.
My simulation research has two broad arms. First, I am interested in how this educational method has the potential to change student attitudes, values and perspectives. This drove my interest in researching the impact of simulation on attitudes toward poverty as well as attitudes toward schizophrenia. Vulnerable populations are stigmatized by healthcare providers and simulation seems an ideal approach to alter student perspective. My second major research interest is student performance appraisal. The ultimate purpose of nursing education is to produce competent, caring nurses. Simulation is a logical location for evaluation of student ability. I have been conducting end-of-year benchmarking simulations since 2006. These benchmarks are currently aimed at determining level of student ability in 6 competencies –clinical reasoning, anticipatory thinking, patient safety, skillfulness, evidence based care, and patient-centered care. I am in the process of validation studies on the performance appraisal instrument.
I teach the simulation component of undergraduate classes at the Ashland campus and teach in the graduate course on Simulation in Nursing Education.

Israel Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman has been told that he may soon be indicted on charges of fraud, money laundering and break of trust.
The punishment for money laundering alone could be up to a 10-year prison sentence.
Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein informed the Kadima Party leader of the possibility on Wednesday, reported Haaretz.
The foreign minister has the right to a hearing in an effort to persuade the attorney general not to move forward with formal charges. If he takes that option, he will not need to resign from the cabinet. If he forsakes the opportunity, his political fate is not clear, according to the newspaper.
About a year-and-a-half ago, the Israeli police's head of investigations and intelligence division, Yoav Segalovich, recommended that Weinstein charge Liberman. Conversations on the matter have continued since then between the State Prosecution and the Attorney General offices. Segalovich recommended indicting Liberman on charges of bribery, fraud, money laundering, breach of trust, witness harassment and obstruction of justice, according to Haaretz.
Police have alleged that Liberman was given more than NIS 10 million ($2.6 million) in bribes from businessmen, which was laundered via shell companies and fictitious bank accounts overseas.
The police also have recommended indicting Liberman for breach of trust in the case of Israel's former ambassador to Belarus, Ze'ev Ben Aryeh, who showed the foreign minister secret documents from the investigation, Haaretz reported.

Replacing Metal Ring Around Garbage Disposal in Sink
I have an almond colored metal sink ring that is chipping away pieces of paint for some reason. They guys at Lowe's say it is a piece of cake to replace but it doesn't screw out or pop out...suggestions????:huh:
Well some cakes are easier to make than others so the guy at Lowes might be right in some ways but wrong in others depending on how hard it is to get the drain loose. The drain ring is not only screwed down but is sealed in with a bead of plumbers putty or some other sealer. If it werent it wouldnt hold water well and would leak under your sink. This means you will have to exert enough force on unscrewing the drain to break this seal, or if it is in 2 pieces, unscrew the rung under the sink to free up the drain and carefully pry it up from the sink. Remember when you go to replace it with the new ring you will have to remove all of the old putty and reseal it with some new then tighten it down from under the sink until the putty seeps out above. Then clean the residue off.
What brand disposal is it?

Endless Journey Beyond HTML version
Nothing yet in the gloominess, I had myself to blame.
I walked an entire mile,
Still I could not make her smile,
Now this is for her,
Emotions will now stir.
Years have passed since I set eyes on you,
Waiting for you to feel the same like I do,
Hope eminent, Faint love prominent,
This is a chant to the sky god,
To paint the sky blue,
Clarity beckons, if ever I knew,
How could I paint the love in you,
Tell me please what method you want me to pursue.
I've walked an empty mile,
I've traveled across the sky without you
I want to see you smile,
The smile to be for me,
Hope I had before you,
Dreams I pursue.

Sally Timms
From Pussy to penises, Sally Timms really covers all her bases. The English-born, Chicago-based performer has played the roles of musician, author, actor, and activist since joining the legendary Mekons in 1986. Pussy, the King of the Pirates was the Kathy Acker-inked lesbian opera that Timms starred in nine years ago; her latest exercise in gender-blurring is In the World of Him. Penned by an all-male stable of songwriters including Ryan Adams, Mark Eitzel, and the Mekons' Jon Langford, this disc channels the intimate and often unflattering confessions of men through Timms' squeaky, cerebral vocals. The result is appropriately ambiguous. Disembodied guitars and skeletal melodies float in and around her voice, though the lyrical sentiments -- war is homoerotic, men aren't in touch with their feelings, etc. -- verge more on cliché than mystery. As an album of eerie, throat-constricting songcraft, World works beautifully; as an art-rock treatise on sexual politics and masculine identity, it falls a little limp. -- Jason Heller

Barky is the leading Bovine Scatologist in America.
There's something that you ought to know. All of the news channels are pushing your anti gun agenda on TV today. That includes Fox, a pretend Conservative channel. They have been going on about how guns are evil ever since that senseless slaughter in Newtown, Connecticut. They all agree that Mr. Lanza did actually not commit the crime, GUNS did! And, they are pushing your idiotic policy that banning guns will turn America into a Paradise. And, it goes on and on, day after day, ad nauseum. The media are pulling out all the stops for you! And, they will all be gloating if you prevail!
But, guess what? All of this nefarious activity is having an effect that you might not have anticipated. The constant bombardment against the Second Amendment by your henchmen in the media is waking up a lot of people. There are millions of Americans who have been sitting on the fence about whether to buy a gun or not. These people have been waffling between the choices of "To buy or not to buy." Well, it seems that your media puppets have convinced millions of Americans that NOW is the time to get off of the fence. "If I ever hope to own a gun, I had better do it now!" Gun stores are crawling with first time gun buyers! I love it! I wonder how many new gun owners have been created during the time it takes me to write this?
Before the Newtown tragedy, there were an estimated 80 million gun owners in America. The estimate was that these people possess somewhere between 300 and 500 million firearms. Many of these are untraceable. Unless you can instill the fear of what you may do into those owners, there is no way for you to know who has what. And, I believe that most gun owners do NOT intend to turn them over to you and your gang, no matter how much you threaten them! If all of America's gun owners were to unite and be of ONE MIND ( of course, this is doubtful, but millions will), we would be the greatest and strongest army in the world! We would be bigger than ALL the armies of world combined-including the United States.
My hope is that your puppet media's constant attacks on law abiding gun owners will add 5 or 10 million more to our numbers. 90 million; doesnt' that sound wonderful? I hope that there are enough guns available that every patriotic American who wants one will find it! GO AMERICANS! Get them while you can!
Barky is the leading Bovine Scatologist in America.
The sad part of this is, go out and try buy 223 or762x39 ammo or reloading supplies and they are either nonexistant or the store wants to gouge you real bad. Thank god I purchased a quanity of both a while ago

A 34-year-old Edgerly man has been charged with failure to register as a sex offender and violating parole.
According to records from the Calcasieu Correctional Center, Larry Paul Landry Jr. was arrested Wednesday afternoon by the Sulphur Police Department.
Landry, 2535 Big Woods Edgerly Road, was convicted of indecent behavior with juveniles in federal court.
He remained in jail Thursday and bond was pending.
A 17-year-old Lake Charles man has been arrested and is facing charges of three counts of extortion, stalking, defamation and telephone harassment, authorities said.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Myers said Noah Scott Hinton has been accused of sending numerous intimidating and profane text messages to a female, an ex-acquaintance, and then threatening to distribute nude videos of her if she did not do what he asked.
"During the investigation, detectives spoke with several witnesses who confirmed they received pornographic videos of the victim that were sent to them through text message and/or email," Myers said Thursday in a news release. "Detectives confirmed these videos were recorded by Hinton without the victim's consent during a video chat from their phones."
Bond was set at $325,000 for Hinton, 2266 W. Raphael Square.
The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office reported the following arrests. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
• Sylvester Barrett, 37, 702 17th St. — aggravated flight from an officer. Bond: $20,000.
• Ashley Renee Ray, 24, 3501 St. Luke Lane, Sulphur — theft $500 to $1,500, illegal possession of stolen things over $1,500. Bond: $8,500.
• Lena Marquisha Leger, 17, 1824 Rena St. — resisting an office with force of violence, battery of a police officer, disturbing the peace.

The 2011 NSSE was administered via an online format to students at all campuses that make up Memorial University.
The survey instrument for 2011 was administered online to all particiapting Canadian Institutions. A .pdf of the survey can be found here.
"The Student Experience in Brief" - This report provides a snapshot of the level of student engagement at Memorial University.
The Five benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice are scales each made up of several questions from the survey and are designed to gauge effective educational practice. They were designed by NSSE "to facilitate conversations about student engagement and its importance to student learning, collegiate quality, and institutional improvement." They are:
Individual respondent benchmark scores are the student's average responses to items within each grouping, after all items have been placed on a 100-point scale. Only respondents that answered three-fifths or more of the items within a group have a calculated benchmark score. These benchmarks are a means of assessing what students are doing (their experiences) at the university – they are not opinion or satisfaction markers. The benchmark score that is presented for MUN in the official NSSE report is a weighted mean of these student-level scores.
Explanations for each Benchmark can be found in the following report. This will also detail each of the questions used to make up the scale.
The 2011 Benchmarks Report - While the report says "St. John's Campus", this is the Benchmark report for results for all campuses.

College of Central Florida Baseball Gets Win Over Santa Fe
GAINESVILLE- The College of Central Florida scored seven runs in the second inning and the Saints were never able to fully recover, dropping the first of a three game series to the Patriots 12-8 in Gainesville. The loss is the fourth straight for Santa Fe (23-14, 8-8 MFC).
Dylan Barrow started on the hill for SF and pitched a flawless first inning before running into trouble in the second. CF plated seven runs, three of them earned, on six hits and two SF errors.
The Saints scored one in the third on a sac fly by Jarred Mederos and three more in the fourth on a bases loaded walk and a two RBI single by Casey Scoggins.
CF pulled back ahead 11-4 with a run in the sixth and three in the seventh. Santa Fe put another run on the board in the seventh on Josh Stewart's second bases loaded walk and one more in the eighth on a fielder's choice to cut the deficit to 11-6.
The Patriots scored an insurance run in the ninth and the Saints once again tried to mount a rally in the bottom of the inning, plating two before they were cut short.
Santa Fe had 12 hits in all, led by centerfielder Casey Scoggins' 4-for-6, two RBI performance. Caleb Denmark, Jonathan Camp, and Jamal Martin had two hits apiece.
The Saints and Patriots continue their three game series on Friday in Ocala at 3:00 PM and complete the series on Saturday at 1:00 PM in Ocala.

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki is blaming opponents and allies alike for his government's failures, accusing a deputy of giving him wrong information about power outages and charging that the Shiite Mahdi Army was behind the recent escape of prisoners from Baghdad jails.
In an interview with Al Iraqiya TV, a semi-official channel in Iraq that gathered Maliki and a number of Iraqi political commentators, the premier said that electricity blackouts across the country were not his fault.
"Hussein Shahristani, Iraqi deputy PM for energy affairs, has given me incorrect information about the level of electricity production in Iraq," said Maliki, whose Shiite-led government has been adrift as attacks and bombings have risen dramatically, and the country's large Sunni and Kurdish minorities no longer regard him as the man to lead Iraq.
"Unfortunately these mistakes happen at a time when the Iraqi PM has three deputies. Each deputy prime minister should have acted responsibly towards the problems of social services," said Maliki, providing a glimpse into the turmoil and disunity inside his own inner circle.
In the same interview, Maliki blamed the fellow-Shiite Sadr Movement's Mahdi Army for this month's attacks on teahouses and cafes in Baghdad.
"The Mahdi Army is also involved in the escape of prisoners in Abu Ghraib and Taji prisons in Baghdad," Maliki said. He described Wathiq Batat, leader of the Iraqi Hizbullah and the Mukhtar Army, as "insane."
Maliki's verbal attacks have shaken the Shiite alliance, provoking strong reactions.
Habeeb Tarfi, an MP of the al-Muwatin Movement bloc inside the Sadr Movement, said that the alliance would discuss Maliki's accusations. He did not rule out that Maliki's intentions behind the accusations was to create disunity among the National Iraqi Alliance (NIA).
"These statements of Maliki represent his own personal views. We decided to discuss them within NIA in the near future," said Tarfi.
The strongest response came to Maliki's statements came from Ameer Kanani, secretary general of the Sadr Movement.
"The NIA is not made up of Maliki alone. The alliance consists of many factions and groups. The only rebel in this alliance is Maliki's State of Law, which does not abide by the directives of the alliance," said Kanani.
"Maliki's statements were inappropriate," Kanani added. "These statements will drive the political groups to better consider whom they elect next time for the position of Iraqi PM."
"Maliki is trying to escape from his failures in improving security, social services, foreign relations, and eliminating corruption. He even failed to provide Iraqi citizens with food rations, which Saddam succeeded in providing despite the economic embargo," said Kanani.
"The next government will become the first independent Iraqi government after the withdrawal of the American forces, because the United States and Iran had their roles in appointing the Iraqi prime minister," Kanan claimed.
"If Maliki becomes the PM again, Iraq will fall into division and civil war," he charged.
Hashim Haboubi, Iraqi political columnist, said that Maliki's attacks are related to the upcoming parliamentary elections.
"Maliki has no other option but to attempt to create excuses for his failures in politics, economy, security and social services," Haboubi said.

Though it was initially reported that the return of X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne was set to cost the show's bosses around £1.5million, it's been revealed today that that figure is nearer £2.5million when her £1million expenses bill is taken into account.
Apparently, when negotiating her return to the show – Sharon has of course replaced Tulisa – Mrs O told Simon Cowell that she would require £225,000 for travel to and from the States, and an allowance of £300,000 for outfits.
The Daily Star Sunday adds, "She is getting another £112,000 as pocket money for day-to-day costs, with a further £50,000 during the live shows. Sharon was also given a room at the five-star Claridge's hotel when auditions moved to London last week. Rooms there can cost from £300 a night."
And it seems though the show's producers originally hoped Sharon's expenses wouldn't be more than £300,000, they are "already double that," and it seems she may well demand that the they fork out more to bring members of her family over from America at some point too.
Last night, an X Factor insider said, "Having Sharon back hasn't exactly been cheap…
"Sharon knows she's got the upper hand."
However, rather much missing the point about her other expenses, the insider added, "She was asking for cans of Sprite and chocolate chip cookies within minutes of arriving."
Yeah 'cos that'd break Simon's bank wouldn't it? Damn man, these divas…
Anyway, an industry expert reckons that Simon won't regret the expense.
The TV source said, "Sharon will be worth every penny. Viewers loved her on the show years ago and there's no doubt she'll be telly gold again.
"If anyone is going to get the ratings up it's her."
Personally, I agree – I think she's worth every penny! What say you?
Here's a reminder of her on the show previously…

text: At this point in life I do not own (shame on me:oops:) a 1911. I know for the die hards a true 1911 is a .45 and nothing else. I allready have (3) .45's and like each and every one. I only have (1) 9mm and am looking for another and want something a little different. I asked a few people at the gun shop and got answers from they are Great to I wouldn't waste my money on one. I asked them for pros and cons and low and behold none of them even own a Kimber or a 9mm on a 1911 platform. They all said they were going by what they were told. I figured I would ask here where I knew I would get honest answers good or bad. My concerns on a 9mm in a 1911 platform are Fit, Function, Reliability, and are they worth the money? I have been saving for the last 6 months and do not want to spend that amount of money on something if it is not worth it. I can't see Kimber putting their name on a gun that does not meet expectations of the public but you never know. Thank you for any help that you may be able to provide on this.

Harry tells HollywoodLife.com that while it's 'unfortunate' Kenzie didn't make it through, her elimination could someday prove to be a 'blessing.' Do you think she deserved to be in this season's top 13?
American Idol fans loved spunky songstress Kenzie Hall from the moment she first opened her mouth, so they were especially furious Feb. 20 when she didn't make the top 13. In fact, she wasn't even given another chance to sing before getting the axe! HollywoodLife.com caught up with Harry Connick, Jr. after the results were revealed for an explanation.
Harry Connick, Jr.: Judges 'Went Back And Forth' Before Cutting Kenzie Hall
Here's what new judge Harry had to say about the difficult decision to cut Kenzie without allowing her another chance to sing:
You know, we followed the same criteria for everyone. There are so many things that go into it. After you sort of analyze each individual performer, you have to think how they're going to fit into the competition. Is everything and everyone being fairly represented in what we're trying to do? It's extremely complex. There's no formula to it. We went back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. She's a very talented young woman, and it's unfortunate she didn't make it, but sometimes a 'no' can be a blessing after you let the dust settle.
While we appreciated Harry's thoughtful response, we have to say we respectfully disagree with the decision to exclude Kenzie from the top 13. She was one of the most original, most buzz-worthy contestants this season, and she will be missed.
HollywoodLifers, are you disappointed that Kenzie is no longer on American Idol? Drop a comment with your reaction to her elimination below!

Good Morning Ladies!
So what is on your plans for today? I hope it is something fun. I bought some perennials on Friday when I met my friend. I am hoping to get them in the ground today. Then I am headed into my craft room to work on cards for this week as well as swaps for the Baltimore Regionals.
My card today is another card my ladies will make at my workshop in April. I ran across this idea on Gail's blog and decided I would CASE the idea for my workshop. If you want to see the original you can find it at Stamping with Gail.
Here is my version of the card.
This is a fun technique. I did learn that you cannot put the stencil back on and respray it. If you look carefully at the bottom you will see where the alcohol bleed past the stencil. When you have the stencil down you need to spray it until you have the color you want.
Hope you enjoyed my card today. Thanks for looking and have a Sensational Sunday!

Miscellaneous by: THE LOST POET
Status: Finished
Genre: Editorial and Opinion
In concerns to the regard of humanity and things of the like, I being a human male have discovered some startling secrets about humanity and its behavioral standards. Along the coast of lesser seen shores hope beckons like a hollow cry of wind out an old oak tree. Witnessed, what we though was a form of progression. When in fact we were only severing ourselfs from the purpose of existence. Half of the people in the world can't even define what spirituality means to them because we have lost contact with our true identity. For if we knew and realized in a moment of who we are as a whole. We wouldn't allow such hypocrisy to stand in idol light before us, like the Roman Catholics swarming over "heathens" during the Spanish inquisition. I don't belong to any particular label or subculture, but I do recognize the level of corruption within the establishment. Just as Martin Luther Recognized what was occurring in the Catholic Church during the dark ages. History has been written by the victors, and all of the things we grow up to learn in school are only the subjective realities of those who ordain such things. We now function within a system so organized (despite the economic downfall) to destroy ambition and progress for humanity. Where Wars are a frequent method of draining resources, clever marketing strategies aim to robotically fixate and tear at the current youth with thoughtless material objects. People now, are coordinated by world class elites and given statements to reply to the public. The Celebrity persona is created now by puppet writers and both liberal and conservative parties are locked in a useless battle designed to run the clock. While these rich elite bastards laugh it at us in pity. Mocking the disgrace of our Ghettos and meth ravaged minorities cutting 8 balls by the time they are 15 years old. Our Human resources and current political system only remains to hide the truth of their REAL FREEDOM. Freedom to exploit the 3rd world and its rich sustenance. Suffocating countries like El Salvador, Peru, and Belize. (The list goes on) While we the people say that the free market is just that, in all truth it has never been self-regulated! It's just a tool used to shed down the economy when needed. I ask that you open your minds brothers and sisters. Open your eyes, pick up a book and study what you won't learn in your school curriculum…..

|Delonte West opens up about weapons charges
|09.21.11 at 11:14 am ET
Celtics free agent Delonte West is an enigma. His blue collar approach on the court endears him to Boston fans, but his strange YouTube videos and the weapons charges from two years ago keep us guessing.
Well, thanks to a tremendous profile of West by SLAM's Tzvi Twersky, we now have answers to at least a few of the questions that stemmed from that latter incident. For the first time, the two-time Celtics combo guard explains his side of the story on the the day he was arrested:
Tucked away in his fully finished basement, West's studio is his sanctuary. Off limits to children, the sparsely furnished wood paneled room is his home within his home. All of that's why he thought it was the perfect stash spot. Everything was fine — the guns remained safely hidden — until, on the night of September 17, feeling unusually tired, West went to his bedroom pretty early, took his nightly dose of Seroquel (a drug that treats bipolar disorder) and got in bed. Shortly after falling asleep, he was startled awake by shouting.
'Ma Dukes came running upstairs into my room, cursing me, saying she wanted all these MFers out of my house,' recalls West. 'I came to like, What's going on? I was already on my Seroquel trip. A few of my cats had found some stuff in the studio and they were living the whole gangsta life thing — guns in the air and this and that,' continues West. 'And I said, 'Oh my God. What the fuck are y'all doin' in here? Y'all got to go. Momma ain't on that. Kids are running around upstairs. It's time to go.''
Gassed up from the commotion, West decided it would be prudent for him to relocate the guns to an empty house he owned nearby. So, with his other vehicles blocked in by guests' cars, and expecting it to be a short trip, he haphazardly loaded up his Can-Am and placed the weapons in a Velcro-type of bag — 'not a desperado, hardcase, gun-shooting-out-the-side type case' — and set off.
'I'm on the Beltway, cruisin',' West says, voice high, emotional and inimitable. 'Soon I start realizing I'm dozing in and out. I open my eyes and I went from this lane to that. I'm swervin', and by the time I wake up, I'm about three exits past my exit.
'There's this truck flying beside me –' West pauses; this next part is crucial — 'and I'm scared to death. So I seen an officer coming up and I try to flag him down. I pull up next to him. He slows down and I get up in front of him. I tell the officer I'm not functioning well and I'm transporting weapons. '¦ The rest of the story is what it is.
'I'm not proud of it,' concludes West, 'but it looks way worse than it was.'
That's the most telling portion of the story, but the entire article is filled with gems on West's life. Before you read the article in its entirety, here are five quick things we learned about Delonte:
|10 Things I Heard About Celtics VII
|09.20.11 at 6:35 pm ET
On another slow Celtics news day, there's still plenty to learn about Boston's green men. Here are 10 more C's links of interest we discovered over the past few days ('10 Things I Heard About Celtics' I, II, III, IV, V and VI) '¦
10. Taking time out from practice on the LSU campus, Celtics free agent forward Glen Davis recently traveled to South Portland, Maine to dedicate a pair of basketball courts and speak on behalf of a charitable venture.
The latter event provided us with two dichotomous Davis interviews courtesy of the local NBA affiliate: 1) the awkward exchange in the embedded video between a report intent on asking lockout questions and Davis, who clearly wanted no part of it; and 2) the poignant speech to Day One fundraisers about being raised by a mother with substance abuse problems.
We'll start on the basketball side. The short of what Davis had to say was "I have no worry," "Everything will be Ok" and "We'll be back on the court." The long of it:
- On the lockout: "The owners and the players are trying to deal with something, and they'll make sure everything will happen the way it needs to happen. I have no worry. Everybody loves basketball."
- On the lockout, again: "They have issues. We have to work them out. Everybody wants basketball. With everybody on the same ground, we can work something out. Everything will be Ok."
- And again: "I think a lot of guys are working out and preparing themselves, but everybody's at their house or doing something. We're preparing like there's going to be a season, and after everything gets worked out we'll be back on the court."
- And again: "We've got to work things out first. In the meantime, between time, I'm just affiliated with and doing other things, so I'm just waiting."
Now to the human side. Here are a few touching tidbits from Davis about his childhood:
- On his hometown: "I grew up in a neighborhood where there were drugs everywhere. It was like walking zombies out there."
- On his upbringing: "I had to face some things that I never could ever imagine that I would have had to face as a young child. I was put in situations where I had to grow up as an adult. I had to realize what life was really about."
- On finding hoops: "In basketball, that's where I found the values of life. It's where I found that structure. It's where I found that place where I can vent and be me, because I had to be someone else."
The Portland Press Herald has more from the emotional Davis, who was introduced by Celtics legend Dave Cowens with this: "All the old guys I played with think he really knows how to play the game."
|Celtics on eBay: Bill Russell's signed parquet
|09.16.11 at 4:03 pm ET
It's time to take you into the weekend with the eighth edition of Celtics on eBay. We ask, "Would you pay [a pretty penny] for [current or former member of the Celtics]' [eBay item]?" Confusing enough? Good. Let's get started.
We've had some pretty hefty landslides in weeks past, but it's always interesting to find out — for example — that 42 people would be willing to pay $275 for Brian Scalabrine's sweat-soaked Celtics practice jersey. Who are these people with that kind of expendable scratch, and how do I hang out with them?
Anywho, this week's item is pretty straightforward: A 4×9-inch piece of the old Boston Garden parquet floor signed by Bill Russell, the greatest winner in sports history. Now, I've got to imagine more people would pay $300 for this than Scalabrine's skivvies. But who knows? Anything can happen when it comes to Celtics on eBay.
Want to waste more time this weekend? Vote on these overpriced/awesome Celtics items from previous weeks:
|Delonte West has a new nickname: Butterscotch
|at 10:42 am ET
Honestly, I don't even know how to react to this latest video from Delonte West. Like, not only is Butterscotch wearing some sort of leopard fur Snuggie he calls Cootie Cat, but he's doling out singles for loosies. Is that what the Celtics will be looking for in their backup point guard? I have no idea. It's not like the C's haven't employed smokers before (cough, Tommy Heinsohn, cough, Dino Radja, cough). Anyhow, at least we got one of Delonte's greatest quotes of all-time out of this deal: "You come from the sewer baby. You a Ninja Turtle. I'm out." Genius.
For reference, here's comedian Kevin Hart's NSFW video as alter ego Chocolate Drop to which West refers. Not that any frame of reference can help interpret Delonte's Butterscotch alias.
And then there's his new website that greets you with this from Delonte, sandwiched by some evil laughter: "Greetings and welcome to the future. You've finally caught up to me. Well, at least you think you have. This world is not what it seems. My name is Two Step, a virtual rep of the infamous. I'll be your guide as I transport you into the world of the one and only. Please enter at your own risk."
Simultaneously, West announces his inaugural Celebrity Charity Weekend in his hometown of Washington, D.C. from Sept. 21-25 — promoting what else but health, wellness, athletics and mentorship. He said, "The Delonte West Charity Weekend is about renewing dreams, serving the underserved and making a difference for a community that made the dreams of so many athletes and celebrities possible."
Like with the whole Home Depot thing, I kind of getting the feeling Delonte is just toying with us and I kind of don't. Either way, you've gotta love him. For more goodness, check out these tracks from his "Lockout" mixtape: "It's Bout 2 Go Down" and "Mr. Magnificent," "Livin' Life Fast" and "M.J. Shwagg." You a Ninja Turtle. I'm out.
|No biggie: Celtics saving lives and catching crooks
|09.15.11 at 12:38 pm ET
Maybe the Celtics are just too busy saving lives and leading people to tips on America's Most Wanted to bother with the NBA lockout.
Yeah, that's the big ticket.
Celtics strength and conditioning coach Bryan Doo helped save a Belmont man's life with CPR and a defibrillator during a pickup basketball game at Newton's Hyde Community Center on Wednesday.
"The only part that made me nervous is when the machine said press the button, shock him," Doo told WCVB TV, adding, "The point is I think anybody could have done it. I think I was there, and it happened to be me."
Affectionately dubbed "B-Doo" by Kevin Garnett and other Celtics players, he has served as the team's strength coach since 2003. Doo lives in Waltham with his wife Brianna, daughter Mikayla Jade, his dog Bella and cat Ichiro, according to the Celtics media guide.
Meanwhile, across the country, a Las Vegas man is claiming he tipped the FBI to James "Whitey" Bulger's whereabouts three years ago while walking the pier on vacation in Santa Monica after hearing America's Most Wanted fugitive yell at a guy in a Celtics shirt. Read the rest of this entry »
|Ray Allen, Celtics talk NBA lockout during workouts
|at 11:48 am ET
This NBA offseason of lockout talk has been anything but ordinary, but leave it to Ray Allen to maintain business as usual. Per usual at the end of each summer, the NBA 3-point king is practicing at his alma mater.
As you can see from the embedded video, the Celtics shooting guard knocked down shots on the regular in a shooting drill with the UConn men's basketball team. And when he finally misses, he's none too happy.
"I want to show them how to get into the rhythm," Allen told The Hartford Courant. "the template of being a shooting guard."
Allen and former Huskies teammate, longtime friend and Celtics commentator Donny Marshall arrived in Storrs, Conn., on Tuesday and are expected to work out with Jim Calhoun's team for the next few weeks. UConn alums Rudy Gay and Kemba Walker have also stopped by to practice at Guyer Gym this summer.
While this summer has been status quo for Allen, his fall plans seem destined to be disrupted, as NBA labor negotiations seemingly disintegrated during the latest collective bargaining session on Tuesday.
'I'm optimistic," Allen told Connecticut's Journal Inquirer. "Both sides want to play basketball. Both sides want the same thing, for the game to grow, and to make it better for our fans. I purposely in my mind am expecting camp on the date I would normally expect it. That way, once I get to end of September, my body will at least be in a good place and I don't have to worry about rushing it if it comes at the last minute.'
Allen's Tuesday workout reportedly lasted for several hours, after which he spoke to the current UConn squad for more than half an hour and signed autographs for onlooking fans. Then, the 1995-96 Big East Player of the Year spoke to reporters about his impressions of the current Huskies: Read the rest of this entry »
|Your daily Rajon Rondo update: With LeBron James
|09.14.11 at 12:04 pm ET
What, does Rajon Rondo have a private jet or something? One second the Inside Track has the Celtics point guard eating at Stephanie's on Newbury in Boston over the weekend, and the next second LeBron James is tweeting around midnight on Tuesday about how he just got done practicing with the University of Kentucky men's basketball team, along with Wildcats alumni Rondo, Eric Bledsoe and DeMarcus Cousins.
If you'll remember, Rondo defended the Heat forward on several occasions this past season. In one instance, Rondo sparked a 20-3 run on his way to a triple-double during an 85-82 Celtics win. Of guarding James, Rondo said in February, "I was just trying to cut the head off the horse, just wanted to change the tempo of the game."
Added Celtics coach Doc Rivers, "That matchup made no sense, honestly. And it hurt us a couple times. The only thing I saw honestly is that it gave us life. Because he was trying so hard and working so hard, it just sort of forced everybody else to join in. And even Lawrence [Frank] was like, 'We can't do this!' And I said, 'You're right, but we're just going to keep doing it.' And it was good for us."
As much as James is disliked by fans, it doesn't appear many players hold any ill will towards him. As always, here's the quick rundown of what has been an extremely busy offseason for Rondo …

/// Old Brands, New Faces
Take a look at Sofia Vergara. Go ahead—everybody else is. The Colombian bombshell is hard to miss these days: striking a pose on newsstands ( Cosmopolitan , Shape ), selling her fashion line at Kmart stores, hawking Diet Pepsi during the Super Bowl, and keeping us laughing out loud on ABC's Emmy-winning Modern Family , TV's top-rated comedy. Vergara joins stars including Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Eva Longoria, Eva Mendes and Selena Gomez who constitute the face of the "now" America and to whom brands are turning to reach consumers across diverse and evolving cultural and demographic constituencies. Vergara in particular is "a role model and a poster child for crossing over from Spanish-language media to mainstream U.S. success," explains Rochelle Newman-Carrasco, a Hispanic marketing expert at the firm Walton|Isaacson in Los Angeles, referring to the star's beginnings on telenovelas. "Almost no other Latina has done that, and she's managed to become a powerhouse without ever forgetting who she is and where she came from. She didn't shed her Hispanic-ness." That might not seem so revolutionary more than a half century since Desi Arnaz starred on CBS' I Love Lucy , peddled cigarettes for Philip Morris, made records, cofounded a Hollywood production company and became a cultural phenomenon. And yet, seeing as one candidate vying for the Republican nomination for president alluded to Spanish as the language of the "ghetto," it bears mentioning that this is a country where equality is, in many ways, still an evolving ideal. Most marketers, meanwhile, are more conscious of today's reality, as they actively court a demographic whose spending power is expected to top $1.3 trillion by 2013, according to the Selig Center for Economic Growth. "The question from brands and ad agencies used to be: Will that person play in Peoria—is Middle America ready?" says Newman-Carrasco, who works on brands including Lexus and Caesars Entertainment. "But people like Sofia are no longer niche, so that's making brands more comfortable." Before Vergara, Jennifer Lopez's roster of media, entertainment and endorsement projects had become legend. Recently, she signed the most extensive sponsorship and integration deal in the history of mobile device BlackBerry. The pact revolves around the new TV talent show

PHOENIX -- Gabe Gross, exiled to the minor leagues last month, has become the unlikely reason the Milwaukee Brewers continue to battle for the National League Central.
Gross hit a grand slam to cap a five-run seventh inning and the Brewers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-4 on Tuesday night, keeping Milwaukee tied with the Chicago Cubs for first place in the division.
"We were due to win a few and due to win a few on the road," Gross said.
Gross was hitting .202 when he was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on July 21, but is hitting .400 (8-for-20) with three homers and eight RBI since his return August 15.
"He needed some at-bats," said Brewers manager Ned Yost. "It's hard when you're getting three and four at-bats a week. So we sent him to Nashville so he could get four at-bats a day, thinking it would sharpen him up - which it did."
J.J. Hardy was 3-for-4 with a run-scoring single and Rickie Weeks added an RBI triple for the Brewers, who have won four of five on the road.
Chris Young hit his team-leading 25th home run for the Diamondbacks, who have lost three straight for the first time since July 15-17. Two of those losses have come against the Brewers, who are 5-1 against Arizona this year.
"I sense my offense is getting hot," Yost said. "My offense is starting to get it together and score runs and my pitching staff is too. It was just a matter of time."
First-place Arizona remained 3½ games ahead of San Diego in the NL West. The Diamondbacks, who had won nine straight series, have lost only two series since the All-Star break -- both to Milwaukee.
"As well as we were playing, I didn't think we were going to win every series for the rest of the year. That's a little unrealistic," said Arizona outfielder Eric Byrnes, who was 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and an RBI. "I think the thing is to come back tomorrow and win that game. But the Brewers, they've had our number this year."
Byrnes' run-scoring single and Conor Jackson's RBI double cut it to 7-4 with two outs in the ninth before Francisco Cordero struck out Stephen Drew with a runner on second for his 37th save in 43 chances.
Arizona's Mark Reynolds struck out in his first two at-bats against Dave Bush to match the record of nine consecutive strikeouts by a non-pitcher, set five times before, most recently by Kansas City's Bo Jackson in 1988.
Bush hit Reynolds with a pitch in the sixth, ending the streak.
Arizona tied the score at 2 in the sixth inning when Young led off with his homer just over the left-field fence, Byrnes hit a one-out double and Drew lined a double to right.
"We had an opportunity to take the lead," said Arizona manager Bob Melvin. "When they get out of it, sometimes that swings the momentum into the other dugout a little bit and they took advantage of it."
The Brewers answered in the seventh against Livan Hernandez (9-8). Bill Hall doubled to start the inning and scored on Johnny Estrada's double, making it 3-2. Hardy added his third hit before Hernandez was lifted for Tony Pena.
Pena retired pinch-hitter Joe Dillon but walked Weeks. Gross followed with his seventh homer of the season and second career slam into the pool area behind the right-field fence to give the Brewers a five-run lead.
"Grand slams are nice," Gross said. "They change ballgames pretty quick."
Milwaukee's rally helped Dave Bush (10-9) earn his first win since a July 31 relief appearance against the New York Mets. Bush allowed two runs and six hits over six innings with one walk and six strikeouts.
"He spent every bit of reserve he had to hold that score at two," Yost said. "To see the boys come back and reward him with a win by getting him some runs was awesome."
Hernandez, who won four of his previous five starts, was charged with five runs and seven hits in six-plus innings.
- Milwaukee was 5-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
- Bush has three wins in his last eight appearances, two against Arizona.
- Milwaukee has seven grand slams this season.
- Reynolds was 0-for-4 with four strikeouts against two Milwaukee pitchers Monday, and had struck out in his last three at-bats Saturday and Sunday in Atlanta.
- Brewers manager Ned Yost said he will wait until at least Thursday before deciding whether right-hander Ben Sheets will return to the rotation this weekend in San Francisco. Sheets, who has been on the disabled list since July 15 with torn tissue in his right index finger, cut short an outing in a simulated game Monday because of a blister on that finger.

Episode 500! Way to go! Yay! Cool! Wow! Why? How? That's three-and-a-half days of continuous TV. Who'd have thought it in December 1989, when The Simpsons made its US debut? Not me, though I can remember where I was when I saw it.
I was in front of the TV, just where one always is when great events take place. The TV was in America, obviously. But a Great Event it wasn't. Nobody sat in front of the TV then, thinking: "Wow! I'm watching the very first episode of The Simpsons!"
I didn't think it was all that great, really. Animation imitating real life, as it always had done in the past. Now it's the other way round. And the family dysfunction was more important than the satire on the American working class. Nobody would have predicted then that it would become the longest-running scripted TV series.
So why? How? What is it? I mean, apart, obviously, from the brilliant writing (Americans pay scriptwriters, lots of them), animation and voice acting, the way it broke out of the four walls of traditional sitcom. Marge, Moe, Homer, Bart, Wiggum – collectively, they're adorable. Collectively, they're us, except more so.
Particularly, for 500 episodes, Homer has been our own Odysseus. He has the authentic Homeric nostos, the overriding need to get home and be safe. Like Odysseus, Homer is perpetually waylaid, but by his own curiosity, utter lack of self-knowledge and affable idiocy. He's drawn off course, not by Circe, Sirens, sorcery, monster and whirlpools, but by beer, doughnuts, religion, competitions, overeating, nuclear meltdown, idleness and every stranger who comes to town.
And there have been a lot of strangers. The Simpsons holds the record for the most guest appearances in TV history. Some have been distinguished actors playing characters in the show, whether regularly (Kelsey Grammer as Sideshow Bob), or one-offs like Isabella Rossellini, Steve Buscemi and many more. Fine. They're still actors playing roles. It's what actors do. But what about the people who've played themselves? Easy to understand why professional performers would do it, like Sir Elton John, Sting, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno and Neil Patrick Harris.
We can even understand Michael Jackson, who played himself playing a fat white mental patient who thought he was Jackson. Except the real Michael Jackson was credited as John Jay Smith, and wrote a special song for the episode that Sony wouldn't let him actually sing.
Then there are the mysteries. Stephen Hawking appeared as himself not once, but four times. Gore Vidal, Tom Wolfe and Jonathan Franzen, too.
And Rupert Murdoch. Twice. Introducing himself as: "Rupert Murdoch, billionaire tyrant." Why? Murdoch doesn't have to; he owns them, via Fox TV. What does Hawking get out of it, or any of the others? It can't be the urge to be associated with something cool, because one of the strengths of the show is that it's never been cool. It's a family show with family values.
Perhaps they are endorsing something more. Yes, it's a great comedy. But behind it all is that old nostos thing. The need to get back home. As Homer says: "I just try and make the day not hurt until I can crawl back in with you."
Ain't that the truth?

I changed my dog's food to Blue Buffalo, he has more bowel movements-often in the middle of the night! any suggestions?
He loves the food, getting up at 3 or 4 am is killing me!
He's been on the food about 8 months, long enough to get used to it. I hate to change it as my dog is 12 and does seem to like it. Also anyone know if it is salty? His bowel movements are normal

Stick with Blue Buffalo. It is a good food. My guess is that you leave food out all day or that you are feeding too much. How often and how much are you feeding him? If you leave food out all day, stop and feed him twice a day. When dogs can eat all day it is difficult for them to regulate their elimination. If they are fed at about the same time twice a day, they will eliminate at about the same time every day. Below is the address of a calorie calculator. Enter your dog's weight and see how many calories he needs per day, look on the bag and see how many kcal per cup and feed accordingly (measure precisely). This is much more accurate than the charts on the bag.

If it isn't working, and the old was, go back. All the arguments for feeding Blue Buffalo and other premium foods are phony. dig, and you will find nothing to support it but speculation about ingredients.

Aster is wrong in my opinion. I mean who can debate ingredience? So that is like saying that I should feed my children Burger King every single day for the rest of their lives. Ingredience speaks for themselves. I have nothing against people who feed their dogs grocery store brand foods, but I would never debate what is written on the labels. I mean corn, wheat, animal by-products...compared to Chicken, carrots, lamb...Common!
I will tell you that in my experience I hadRuby on Science Diet, her fur was very dry, she was constantly scratching and flaky, her coat was dull, she had the runs constantly. I know some dogs do fine on SD but she didnt. So I switched to Acana and found that there was no improvement....I didnt know what to do but someone said it can take 16 weeks to take full effect, so i waited it out, I also lowered the amount of food she ate, the dog food companies usually recommend too much. Now her coat is shiny, no flakes and nice firm stools about 3 times a day.

theres nothing particularly horrible about pooping more other than convenience. maybe get a dog door so you won't need to be getting up early.
That didn't happen to so thats odd....

Hmm, if Max is doing well on the food, other than his potty times, perhaps you can adjust when you feed him. Calculate how many hours between Max eating his dinner and his late night poop. For instance, if his last meal is at 6:00 p.m. if you change it to 9:00 p.m., then his 3 or 4 a.m. poop may change to a more reasonable hour like 6:00 or 7:00 a.m. (However, when you change his feeding schedule, you may want to do it gradually -- 1/2 hour later every day until you get to the right times...) If you don't assign feeding times and just keep his dog food bowl full, set up a feeding schedule and take his bowl away when he stops chowing down. Hope this suggestion works. You need your sleep! Please let me know how Max does! Good luck!

How is your dog's weight? Blue buffalo is not only a superior food, but also more calorie dense then cheap supermarket brands. It may be that you are feeding him more then he needs and it is causing him to poop more.
I would also agree that changing his feeding time would be a better choice then taking him off a good food that he likes and does well on.
Ignore anyone who claims that foods with corn, byproducts, animal digest, sugar, and chemicals are as good as a high quality food. Only a person who knows little about dogs and dog food would make such a claim.
Good luck.

I have to agree with Fritz... perhaps Max is getting too much to eat??? When I switched my toy poodles over to blue they were pooping all day and all night until I figured out they had to get about half as much blue per feeding as my previous food. Now they are back down to half a cup a day and two normal, small poops a day,

try plain white rice with the food, mix your amount of kibble and add for this little one maybe like 1/3 cup of rice.
Also make sure the food you are feeding is in a reasonable amount of kibble. Sometimes a richer, more protein diet requires less of the normal amount you were feeding with your previous kibble.
The bags tell you way more what to give then they should
You can compare the Sodium(salt content) to other foods like the one you had online.
I myself do not like BB and it's ingredients, and allow your dog's system to adjust to this food for at least 2 weeks.
Dieta answered on 11/13/09. Helpful? / 1
As some of the others pointed out, how much are you feeding and at what time? I'd try to change those factors before I'd switch brands.
Dogs on a higher quality brands like Blue Buffalo do not normally need to eat as much as they did on lower quality brands. If you fed him Purina or some other popular (but low quality) grocery store brand before, I'd imagine that has a lot to do with it.

Well you can try some of the things like cutting back and everything. But just remember, just because some pople think it is great and works for them, it may not be right for your dog. I have known people i show with that got off blue because it was not working for their dogs. Dogs can be just like people, some people can eat somes foods while others can not.

Blue buffalo dog food ; Hi - it is just a little too much for your dog's system...
How about mixing the Blue Buff with another food such as - Innova Reduced Fat formula or Wellness Reduced fat...
LOOK For a lower fat to mix with the Blue buff.
You will see less poops when you mix.
2-3 poops per day.
Also, last feeding should be around 5 pm, if possible
(2 feeding per day or just 1 feeding in the am )

The majority of the state's postsecondary institutions are located in northern Idaho, between the Washington and Montana borders, or in close proximity to urban centers such as Boise or Pocatello. Students who live in rural areas in the southwest corner of the state or the mountainous interior region could have trouble accessing a traditional college campus. Online schools in Idaho can help serve full-time students who want to pursue a college education while staying close to home, or working professionals who desire the flexibility to attend to career or family responsibilities while they work toward a degree.Students interested in exploring all the schools and institutions based in Idaho offering online & campus-based programs can explore the map below.
Distance Learning: Meeting Idaho Employment Needs
Specifically designed to accommodate rural students and working professionals, Pocatello-based Idaho State University (isu.edu) offers an online master of science in speech language pathology program. The three-year program consists of academic coursework which is completely online, and also includes two mandatory on-campus clinical practicum experiences during the summer. That coursework is supplemented by a clinical practicum that can be completed close to a student's home town The Idaho Department of Labor (labor.idaho.gov, 2010) projects that the position will grow by 25.59 percent between 2010 and 2020, ranking among the fastest-growing occupations in the state.
Industrial engineer and mechanical engineer are two other positions that the Idaho Department of Labor (labor.idaho.gov, 2010) expects to increase in the future, with projected growth of 21.17 percent and 18.31 percent, respectively, between 2010 and 2020. Preparing students to meet that increased demand, the department of mechanical engineering at the University of Idaho (uidaho.edu) has established an online master of engineering program. Coursework is completed entirely online, and covers a full range of aerospace, automotive, computer and construction engineering.
Educating Working Professionals Through Online Study
