The guys opened the show discussing the dumpster fire that is the Cleveland Browns.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
The -- reading. Would that be considered insensitive yes racially insensitive. Now about what's -- you've got to hand I'm uncomfortable with regard I don't know. If you go with -- -- -- credit. You learn English sentence could you say hello in Japanese if -- got arrested by the authority just did. Not to do that that's -- say Japanese are always assumed that. Good practice -- flight only Q opera early July right IKEA us that he too I don't know. It was seen Alice. Biggest presence -- a hundred people there. 200 -- Tebow with the jets rival -- with the jets and it might not even gay and out and you know we know. Yeah. The next -- Drupal someone come close even if they're not -- ago. Just to get the marketing endorsements and this is it just to get on TV's -- like sixth round pick you know low of special to emerge yeah. And I want. I -- observation about -- -- even here today I think. Based on what appears to be the Cleveland Browns in factual ration with Texas late and quarterback Johnny -- sale. Apparently they're going to trade up going to turn over every stone every rock move heaven and earth to get Johnny -- sell as sort of a face of the franchise for the Cleveland Browns. John demands on another is a ton of money out there in Cleveland money and their -- probably don't bounce. Consider pulling a John Elway or an Eli Manning and -- and -- no thank you I'm not like I would try. I would try to avoid yet I feel like man -- everyone has an opinion amends I think it all depends on where he goes he goes. Week because he was to Billy O'Brien. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I think he'll have public serious the crystal meth habit it's like a -- and ultimately. He'll he'll it'll just be disaster will be some crazy things. You know who break out like a Bob Costas rations first press conference UB one thing after another I don't think QB Ryan leaf but it would not ghosts moved. When you read about the absolute chaos and chaos that has been in place in Cleveland for so many years I can think -- only one thing. That would be more embarrassing for the Cleveland Browns organization. That would be if every single quarterback every person. They take in the first round makes it clear your agent I am not coming to Cleveland under any set of circumstances. And they finally come to the real late realization that the only person they -- and could and should draft the first round would be Michael Sam. Michael Sampson out quickly added brown I -- I wanna be a first round to. I think you'll end up with men ethical probably disaster but he has no leverage he can't say I'm narco one you know always had baseball. You have to have them JD J. D. Drew had. Scott Boras just sat out what it meant -- man's organs -- -- -- Displayed policies that this could play another season since late hamsters are -- comic by finances don't seem to be concerned for now its letter to sit out. A year outlook include Motorola's writes for a year right at them they go point or -- in Brazil sitting out a year yes and Aaron and up in on like some possible. -- -- but I've I've with suspected probably didn't click on -- you know what it's a Houston Josh Gordon's there it find a way. And hopefully by the time he got there at the GM will have met the coach bill that would that progress at the GM will be the same -- that it's a good question but I mean is he gonna like make -- way against is sincere -- the coach mediums will be funny when in the wrong guy it's like some. Account with the -- the strangest the stroke -- -- it can Peter king and you get into wrote this great thing about it really well done. Beat the coaches the front office cutting sales PR broadcast department own open area together. When the sales team makes a stalemate they ring a bell mr. Belichick to sit around on tickets some notes analysts on the bell as Reagan because the sales team. Close some deal with the local pizza place and products and hi Ivan each -- Coaches like on the phone felt that her message is somebody in here and go study and watch and video discussing game plan and singing gene -- figure whether at the cut him and Dolan -- girl -- five in the. For -- it's always been in India should do that here temperature well -- -- it. When you get -- pajamas. Yeah yeah sure about that other automatic correlation between stability of of an ownership. And the head coach and the general manager and the front office and and when the opposite occurs it is the Cleveland Browns check this out fifteen years. Since the 19992000. Football season these are your Cleveland brown coaches Chris Palmer. Butch Davis Terry Robiskie rubio canal Eric Mangini pat Shermer rob should Penske and now Mike Patton. That's 12345678. Coaches all the patrons about one they've got a combined 77 and 133 which actually. The price of the best that fact -- -- I -- just that it was in the last 400 days that at three coaches. Pittsburgh Steelers in the last 45 years haven't recovered. Well 45 years this deals have been frequently go to pick all those guys you're the star franchise tomorrow at one of those guys if your head coach. It would probably -- I don't know I mean -- -- I guess you know how to you know you don't know I mean he beat the patriots right. They almost totally beaten the refs. Mangini be patrons get the -- -- for a game for the patriots of Cleveland have them beat right. I guess maybe that's and that's how pathetic that said that your first choice -- the first guy you know I love it Romeo canal -- -- -- great defensive corner and -- -- -- -- that the court but if you say. If you wanna believe and and it's certainly seems as evidence that no one could succeed there. -- -- Yeah it seems like inside the Romeo Crennel hasn't had a fair chance and he never wrote a -- -- had a fair chance against Kansas City -- go there with a -- of flame out. What was his numbers the first pick in the draft this year. Which obviously he had to do the tragedy in the parking that was the end of the year at the end of the year in -- -- out by then but the Google. The year was over by the end of two games nor did I think -- quarterback. -- -- it means it has got to eleven gave it one game all right yeah today there you go team -- going to check the best Cleveland Browns coach that they had in the last like. The years it's. Forty years. Last twelve years and Belichick that I can't close. He had one left at one winning record in five years. And he's the best I've had Rovio and foreign fifteen -- has sent to the right words drifting up in Cleveland he was. If we -- ten games we history impressive 24 I don't I I'm I'm sorry and what Romeo have soft spot -- and don't think of him loser we about the distractions distractions. Yesterday. The fact that your owner Jimmy how Islam it's facing a federal indictment on racketeering charges the sort of distract. From the matters that higher chemical and doesn't like to stress -- -- -- -- I call funny how that works because it by -- I can by the might might not have the time hired the right people plays the owner -- get indicted that means Colt McCoy threw an interception I would works bad impression. It's too bad your -- little. Racketeering you wrote. It. -- anything in this organization function correct this is what I would obviously the sales team -- that the rebels hit -- -- although a lot of kids. It's not getting ready for school high school kids sixteenths in a sweater. That to put a sweater but here's. If -- Sports history using history and see what's happened in Cleveland passed away used to be here. That's the way -- -- used to -- in fox or was even more screwed up. And -- books have been written. Guys Chris pricing. Others have written books about this as functional place or that that wasn't in the patriots franchise. But does this remind you when you hear people around the country laughing -- five -- the on the coach but -- worse than -- GM has met the coach -- right -- this sales department is ringing bells in the office. This used to work in fox. I don't think so we just yesterday we talked about general -- interview recruiting kids to go to Colorado well prepared for the play -- It was it was war -- rushed. Run -- rush era signal a Victor I am it was pretty bad it was worse Raymond Berry came and took them to squish the -- and out of -- -- -- on Tuesday after the super global yes it at all on the right it's robbed a close run -- -- right right right right at it with Tony Collins there was never a stretch. When things rents movies before -- before. Parcells. It was a -- in Japan in -- Irving Fryer these straight hours of in the road tonight from the. In right so what's the template that template to be -- -- -- I know the first. Duty would hire Belichick to avoid the racketeering charges and then start working -- if you look at this at the patriots. What is what did they do to pull themselves out of this obvious. Well I -- I guess it was Bill Parcells and get drafted like Kraft right ourselves you have Bledsoe. And you had pretty boys and fifty million dollar they thought they got one of these guys they thought they got -- Parcells and I homer he just wasn't in -- fifty through all it was a million dollars they paid humility president and he did not think now the eighties around eternity is lazy with -- -- I I don't. That's true -- Peter King writes since legend has it took over. October 16 2012. The browns have fired two coaches pat charmer and should -- ski. General manager Tom record and Mike Lombardi a CEO in Joe Banner any president in Mike Holmgren. Stability and I am I'm I think it's black and white man's goes there he fails men's goes somewhere else he speaks much he succeeds everywhere else but Cleveland would agree with you that he -- filling but yeah gimme another place of Houston succeeds I think. Emily O'Brien would coach -- up we think it's -- Jacksonville now. Now I mean this is a much better team would do in spite of what -- -- actually does exe on the raiders -- occasional one upon operators and they pick and it will fail. We fail there now. Anybody's gonna go. -- the -- because his personality in marketing opportunities that LB ring -- man who's good and I mean I know they're writing about how do we know these guys are so obsessed with cells that this must be as America's I don't know who makes the decisions in the organization. It's probably the guys in the cells from the bill passes judgment -- itself this so to convince them. Closer Bob Evans right so that's that's all right -- -- and ends up some big car dealer right that's it you know some Hyundai dealers announces the wicket Johnny in new Hyundai and and they are all excited but it just -- -- on the falcons to stop ringing a bell they don't care five minutes if it's a bit of. Somebody will be in the green room correct yeah but I -- ends up we will find out if the browns draft him how good of an act to. He is could you possibly look a boy could you possibly look pleased. If whoever it is stands up there Jimmy how Islam and the -- mission and the commissioners as. With whatever picked Cleveland Browns beat -- -- well Hilary is let's look at his face going to be not happy but -- legacy for men's Ellis to get a chance to work -- -- coordinator who is. Oil for years to get this job Kyle Shanahan. So I think that's gonna go to -- that's really exciting for young corps he must be dying -- -- We have great weather -- he knows the area the team is going to be pretty good the coaches the quarterback guy. I would give it anything to be an advocate for -- to force goes. All the way what you're. To -- would descend -- for the -- by both those guys are in a before Billy meats and sits down with the measures that Madonna has earned them like brutal portals for a girlfriend. -- the newspapers. Because a good measures up and the interviews great he's at diamonds. You know on the over before -- graduated from college. -- has in the middle class yet I'm sure studies have been done on this I heard somebody talking about a couple of days ago. That if you wanna turn your sagging franchise around you do with a great quarterback not a great defensive player. But there will be considerations made for clowning -- bridge -- clowning verses. A man's cell Bonnie verses portals will or not. Yes sure sure -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Cleveland -- and I mean and listing him that the story you know with -- -- -- Colt McCoy. In what's been the forty year old forty year old. And original essay yeah I mean they they'd just gonna keep taken QBs in the first round until they get it right that's a war last year which it's what you have to do I guess because it's so important and when you don't win puts up the pays much is used to that's true with you with it's not in the world. They have three draft picks in the top 35 number four number 26 and number 35. But -- as they -- do whatever is necessary. Move up yet John humans if they need to right in the -- have to -- -- mean you'd you'd know that but -- have to move up you can wait sit there -- before. And it -- -- and you know what it exciting. It'll fail but for the next few months until you actually took the field. Lot of people flocked to Cleveland and talk and write about tournament I guess man -- with -- and tickets -- -- not sure absolutely yeah yeah you would you buy tickets would you -- -- -- that when you watched the browns we -- no matter who they're playing the Axel he has to be the -- I guess you think about it they are an identity. Less team and I think publicly the -- geologist Josh Gordon still sucking that -- exactly great young wide receiver who I. To make the deal acquire -- to your second favorite Brett wouldn't listen to me. Streets to Campbell's select people -- well -- agents. Willis McGahee getting -- -- Paul Kruger there corrected. It's great signing but. He you'll you'll see they'll dress it up they'll they'll see you lipstick on -- -- of the -- easy -- -- -- sell you can be issue things will be different this year. It's got wrap things about this that's it's the guy I mean if you wanna talk anybody yet. Cleveland it's it's -- man's got -- Cleveland native a -- Cleveland observer of the condition that is Cleveland. Out Jonas and 7 o'clock now Chris -- -- some basketball -- the 8 o'clock or -- talks basketball on paper this one yet ready to call well dodger to raise that in and yes. -- -- and that deflate all of that and respond privately publicly or to a daily is not that much crap Callahan -- again he's an honest guy -- think he's a very -- guys good good Mormon. Family men like your regular at. I don't know does he Wear them as you remember her underwear. We wives always -- in a -- probably. Yet we talked to him in the past tonight I think he. Generally tells the truth and he's more on -- the most GMs but in this on this topic. He is absolutely full of crap and he's gotten comfortable lying about. -- sports yeah sports fib. Nobody pictures tell the truth nobody expects and tell the truth but races he gets he gets oh it's phony indignation when you. Suggest that should tank he doesn't like to -- an amnesty and you have to say that. But he knows he has to -- he knows right now things aren't going as planned but he's not doing anything tweet about act H stayed he's about to. To what he's about to what's to -- to get number one no question yes and probably might be too late to get in the top. -- if you really believe what you just said would not have done some things prior to now prior to being. I don't know eight or ninth in the draft at this point I think they've taken by surprise -- and better than he expected I mean that you just want four or five. And they all fourteen to be below them in the state mental fourteens. They beat they had they help they could have lost to. And yeah I mean is no doubt that at the end of the year it will be like one game better than those teams. And and you know and that's Philadelphia winter games they had to -- yes they didn't they failed miserably equipment Cleveland last -- -- the Celtics clean and -- -- they wanna lose an anonymous so pathetic ticket for them I'm not sure that -- quite as far in the tank is Philadelphia and walked yeah. But it'll be interesting down stretched his I think teams are very brazen about it. At Philadelphia. -- do when everything. You know playing with four players think it's yes and it's. And it's in a -- that there's teams that are not even. Trying to piece that you sing at the year's going to be enough season like every two years that an -- -- the stories on in all of those. He knows favorite shows and run on MPT macho with the venal and talk and yeah bio. Is this out of control should. What's his face the new commissioner adults over Adams also should investigate it should be fine teams -- -- find. I'm Gregg Popovich for not starting his starters playing the start is in regular season what happens when. You know Philadelphia souped up the trainer on the ball -- and and and loosen the -- against Iran does have. You know recurrence of his need some stadiums. -- right no and no way I think Rondo does as a -- David Robertson David Robertson for the good of the team played six games and they won twenty games they didn't have the best chance -- but they got Duncan. And the next year came back and they won fifty games every year but one after that and one. For Brett Stephens isn't doing what you're doing his job he's doing his job when he thinks it should be done but it's Rondo -- against and they want was the Cleveland. But Milwaukee the Milwaukee and -- right as you can play either right hard to do that I felt a little Bradley and Rondo Milwaukee truly so I thought I did not messing around an operator -- a lower rate. They have the uniform -- -- artist it's the name -- Wiggins on the -- or Parker I don't even though they lob one of them. And you know that they're guy in the sales office with a bell is already selling. Their clients on Wiggins Parker and in the future than not the documents with this you think. When they get 99 and I'm 42 -- the fifteen. Finished -- maybe maybe thirteen. To fifteen would be Camilla Carr 1560 -- fifteenth sixty's well. Good records center. Seven record -- I 7937. Scott -- will join us in the 7 o'clock hour he from the from the area of Cleveland no longer lives there but -- certainly keeps tabs on what's happening in Cleveland. -- -- always does with a bit of humor in them a lot of a maniacal approach our Chris Maddux will join us at 8 o'clock o'clock some basketball. Sure whether the Michael Sam story still has legs on day number three but I will just say this is -- of the break. There are a -- a couple of words used to describe. Michael slam the last couple of days three that I can think are openly gay that's what word out courageous. Honest. I think based on what we now know we can add backs dapper now. To that I don't know -- and you that you say that Ahmad says there is no. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Mean you can says Michael Sam. Like Gil Bret Michaels and not -- for whatever. And it was just like how the hell would he -- futures shot up deal -- what do you know about football -- members called baggage. He was about baggage of the destruction baggage distraction Barack just a distraction it allowed to common distraction I I didn't say you -- and -- -- government extradited back up and make sure we get that that it was that it was the army I'm -- I'm on -- habits that I'm willing to learn as a 6177779837. -- next the NC.

By Erin Ruggaber Howard
When the pediatrician handed me the referral, I cried. I'm not
proud of it, but I cried. Our perfect baby girl named Michalene
(Mikey), had developmental delay. At nine months, she couldn't
creep or crawl.
And I hadn't given it a second thought. My mother relayed
stories of many babies, including me, who were late crawlers. My
mother-in-law assured me the pediatrician was overreacting. Yet, my
husband and I felt the pediatrician must be seeing something we
weren't. We needed to see if physical therapy was the answer.
But physical therapy? For a baby?
Soon I was an emerging expert on Early Intervention, an Illinois
state program of low-cost, in-home therapy services for kids age
0-3. We were assigned a physical therapist, Rebekah, who showed up
at my door every other week for an hour-long session. Rebekah
taught me exercises I could use with Mikey. I passed those skills
on to my husband and parents, until Mikey was effectively
surrounded by a loving therapy team.
Rebekah taught me to look not just at what Mikey was doing, but
how she was doing it.
Mikey wouldn't reach or roll; she was afraid to be off-balance.
That's why she wasn't progressing toward crawling.
To help her embrace asymmetry, we rocked her while singing "Row
Row Row Your Boat." To help her reach across her body, we
encouraged her to grab at favorite toys. To help her crawl, she
played while kneeling at a couch cushion to strengthen her
To Mikey, it was play time, but we knew she was building
strength and coordination. She started crawling at 11 months and
stopped receiving services altogether at 16 months.
But our relationship with Early Intervention continued.
Due to prenatal complications, our third child, James, spent
seven weeks in the hospital. It was a recipe for developmental
delay and I wasted no time. I had him evaluated when he was just
two months old.
James lacked strength, so at every step we had to strengthen the
muscle groups he needed to reach each milestone-legs, arms, even
abs. He crawled at 12 months, and at 15 months, simply stood up one
day and took three steps. He stopped therapy shortly after. Once
his muscles were strong enough, the skills naturally followed.
Any parent can get carried away with comparisons, and yes, we
shouldn't overreact if our baby isn't keeping up with the baby next
When I think about the tears that welled up in that tiny exam
room, I know that they were rooted in fear.
Fear that I wasn't a good mom. Fear that Mikey wasn't "normal."
I am so glad that I pushed through those fears and didn't let them
slow me-and my kids-down.
Erin Ruggaber Howard is a mom living in Aurora.
Beth Judson knew things were going to be different with her
third child from day two.
That's when doctors determined Judson had undiagnosed
gestational diabetes that affected her daughter, Amelia. But the
diagnosis that followed, however, changed the Judsons' lives
Doctors also determined Amelia suffered a stroke in the womb
that affected a quarter of her brain, damage that likely would
cause lifelong difficulties with motor skills and speech.
While Amelia and her parents were prepared for these setbacks,
many children grow up never knowing what they're up against.
There are 540,688 children in Illinois 0-3 years old, yet only
135,172 of these children are screened for disabilities, according
to recent data provided by Easter Seals. About 55,850 of those not
screened end up with unidentified delays or disabilities.
The Judsons are thankful Amelia wasn't such a statistic. Though
living with these challenges has been difficult, Judson says that
with proper medical attention and therapy, Amelia, now 2,
continuously has been able to hit important milestones.
For example, by the time a child reaches 12-18 months, Easter
Seals' developmental milestones guidelines say she should be able
to walk on her own. Judson says Amelia reached that point with
great persistence.
Early on Amelia had difficulty drinking milk. Doctors eventually
told Judson her daughter would need to be on a feeding tube the
rest of her life, believing that the stroke made her incapable of
feeding herself. Judson didn't buy it-she decided to seek a second
"Instinctively, something didn't feel right," she says.
And it wasn't. After visiting the Easter Seals DuPage and the
Fox Valley Region office in Villa Park, Judson discovered her
daughter did have the capability to feed naturally. The real
culprit was acid reflux, which was cleared up in three months with
Cara Long, a parent liaison with Easter Seals, says this type of
persistence is key to keeping children on track.
"The thing I like to emphasize for parents is that they need to
go with their gut feelings," Long says. "If they feel like their
child isn't developing the way they should be, they should follow
up. If there's a voice in the back of their head calling out
concerns, they need to be empowered to seek out help."
When parents don't heed these instincts, Long says children can
fall through the cracks.
That's why she says Easter Seals is promoting its Make the First
Five Count program, focusing on identifying disabilities at an
early age to ensure maximum treatment, preventing children with
learning and health issues from entering school and falling behind
their peers, leading to further, more permanent effects.
"We want kids to be school ready," Long says. "The sooner we
provide therapy, the more impact we can have. Parents can't afford
to wait and see."

ATLANTA (AP) — A nuclear power plant in Nebraska briefly turned off the pumps used to cool spent nuclear fuel so that workers could fight an electrical fire.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission reports that plant workers at the Fort Calhoun Station near Omaha, Neb., on Tuesday turned off the pumps used to recirculate water in a pool holding hot, radioactive nuclear that was fuel previously used in the reactor.
Omaha Public Power District spokesman Mike Jones said the utility turned off the system for about an hour Tuesday to isolate the fire. The pumps are now working. The company had backup equipment but didn't need to use it.
If the pool pumps failed for a long time, pool water could boil away, causing the used fuel to catch fire and release radiation.

Memorializing Civil War Veterans: Portland & Westbrook
Three cemeteries -- all of which were in Westbrook during the Civil War -- contain headstones of Civil War soldiers. The inscriptions and embellishments on the stones offer insight into sentiments of the eras when the soldiers died.
Presque Isle and the Civil War
Presque Isle had fewer than 1,000 residents in 1860, but it still felt the impact of the Civil War. About half of the town's men went off to war. Of those, a third died. The effects of the war were widespread in the small community.
Field & Homefront: Bethel during the Civil War
Like many towns, Bethel responded to the Civil War by sending many soldiers and those at the homefront sent aid and supported families. The town grew during the war, but suffered after its end.

Irish Coffee: What if this Celtics chemistry experiment doesn't work?
|11.07.12 at 11:24 am ET
As a member of Mark Cuban's ever-changing Mavericks, Jason Terry saw his share of rookies, castaways and veterans enter the turnstiles attempting to adjust to the Dallas system. Even last season, a year out from winning the NBA championship, the Mavs lost five of their top 12 rotation players. Now, Terry's the one adjusting.
"We had a lot of turnover in Dallas where we'd bring in new guys every year, it seemed like, so this is nothing new, but for me it's definitely an adjustment," said Terry, who averaged 15.1 points, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals last season. "And I know for the guys that have been here, it's an adjustment for them, because they're used to playing one way and now you're implementing guys who are used to playing another, so it's difficult."
Even if last year's Mavericks lost Tyson Chandler, Juan Barea, Caron Butler, DeShawn Stevenson and Peja Stojakovic, they returned nine players from the title team while adding Vince Carter and Lamar Odom. Yet, Dallas dropped from a No. 3 to a 7 seed during the lockout season and got swept by the Thunder in the first round.
"For us, it never jelled," said Terry, who made his desire to keep the championship core together clear at the time. "It never happened. That's why we were out in the first round. It can happen, or it won't."
This season, the Celtics returned only four players from the roster that lost Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals to the Heat. Even when you include Avery Bradley, Chris Wilcox and Jeff Green, coach Doc Rivers still has eight fresh faces in his locker room. What's to say this team never jells?
"I believe with this team it will," said Terry. "No timetables set, just as long as we're ready when it counts."
Rookie Jared Sullinger suggested Tuesday it could take until "about midseason," but as the veteran Terry said, "It can happen, or it won't." In the past 30 years, when unrestricted free agency changed the NBA landscape, only the 2006 Heat and 2008 Celtics won titles after returning six or fewer players.
The C's of five years ago obviously acquired future Hall of Famers Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. This year's group doesn't have that luxury, so maybe Pat Riley's '06 Miami model is a better one.
That team overhauled its supporting cast — adding one-time Celtics Antoine Walker, Gary Payton and James Posey, among others — around a superstar guard (Dwyane Wade) and an aging Hall of Famer in the middle (Shaquille O'Neal) that carried the Heat to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals against a championship-caliber Pistons team a season prior.
Oddly, Rivers & Co. must defeat Riley's current Heat using the same recipe the Miami architect instituted to beat another Mavericks team led by Terry in 2006. This year's Celtics also feature a superstar guard (Rajon Rondo) and an aging HOFer in the middle (Garnett) — not to mention Paul Pierce — surrounded by an entirely revamped roster that happens to be coached by a guy who played two seasons under Riley for the Knicks in the 1990s.
"We're leaning on them, but they're leaning on us, too," said Terry. "The quicker we can obviously get together, the better rhythm we're going to be in as a team. As much as we're leaning on them, they're leaning on us to pick up this system and kind of learn. We've been coming 15 minutes early — the guys that are new — running through plays and getting down the terminology. And we've also been staying late, so hopefully that will pay off."
Just as Riley and Shaq instilled a championship culture that trickled down the roster, so too do Rivers and Garnett. They just happen to be members of the only other team in recent history to win a title under such reconstruction.
"While I'm here, we're not going to change that culture," said KG. "When I'm gone, that's another story, but for right now, this is the way we are. In the last two days we've been playing with an edge, and it's just about consistency. … I've always worried about the consistency of this team and where we are with some of our habits. When we stay with those consistencies, we're hard as [stuff] to beat. When we get away from them, we're trash."
It can happen, or it won't. Hard as [expletive] to beat, or trash. Only time will tell, but at least it's been done before.

Time to Reset Relationship with Michigan's Universities
Time to Reset Relationship with Michigan's Universities
July 11, 2013/Detroit News
by Michael Boulus
As a college degree increasingly becomes the entry point to the knowledge-based economy and the middle class, it's time for Michigan to reset its relationship with its highly regarded public universities.
Over the last decade, the state has chosen to reduce its investment in higher education — even as more and more students have come to recognize a college degree is vital to their future. Now that the state is seeing an economic rebound, it should consider supporting those students, who are the key to Michigan's future prosperity, and increase funding for universities. Michigan's universities have already been making important strides in holding down the cost of providing an education. A recently issued federal report found that when you look at net tuition — tuition minus scholarship aid from 2009-10 to 2010-11 — the net price at Michigan's public universities dropped by 1.9 percent. Michigan is one of only nine states with a decline.
Increasing "sticker price" tuition at Michigan public universities isn't a result of wild college spending. The House Fiscal Agency examined the cost of delivering a college degree over the last decade. It found that the annual cost of providing a degree increased only slightly when adjusted for inflation, from $11,624 in 2001-02 to $11,860 in 2012-13. That's $18/year over the rate of inflation during a period when universities greatly enhanced their research operations, internship programs, placement operations and entrepreneurship programs.
So why is tuition up? That same study showed state support per student has decreased from $6,698 in 2001-02 to $3,583 (in 2012 dollars) last year — a $3,115 cut. To make up the difference, tuition has gone from $4,945 to $8,277 — a $3,332 increase. It's the failure of the state to support its students that is the primary reason for higher tuition. Michigan's universities have done their part to control costs, particularly legacy costs. All universities today are on a 401K type retirement program for new employees. Employees are paying 20 percent or more of health care benefits in many cases. Universities were ahead of this curve, taking actions before the state government did to control its legacy expenses.
Michigan universities also have taken the lead in providing scholarship support for students with need. About 40 percent of college students in Michigan graduate with no debt; the vast majority have loans that are less than the cost of a new car. Michigan universities also are leaders in providing online classes and using technology to let students match their schedules to classes they need.
The value of a college degree to the state — its importance as a public good — has never been higher than today. The employment rate in Metro Detroit for those aged 25-64 with a high school degree is 57.8 percent. For those with a bachelor's degree, it's 80.6 percent.
A college degree has never been a guarantee of employment, but few without one will enter the middle class in today's economy.
Our public universities are Michigan's most important economic development tool. Michigan's universities are doing their part to hold down costs. Now it's time for the state to recognize that effort and help students by increasing state support for public universities. College graduates are the vital fuel for a better economy and a return to prosperity for Michigan.

09 wrx spt exhaust
this is probably a stupid question but ive only had my wrx 3 days and its also my first manual tranmission but i noticed that my car has a spt exhaust on it, is this normal exhaust that comes on wrx's i thought that exhaust was on the sti
or wrx premium on the 09's.
Both cars have this as an add on. Anything for the STI the WRX can have.
[quote=synolimit;265882]Anything for the STI the WRX can have.[/quote]
Are you referring to factory options or aftermarket parts?
For the most part, this statement is true, but there are several bits that are unique to each model and won't interchange without a little work (5x100 WRX and 04 STi wheels vs. 5x114.3 STi wheels, single vs. dual exhaust on the third generation hatch/sedan, 06/07 WRX crosspipes... to name a few).
could also just be SPT exhaust tips, either way, can you hear your exhaust or is it quiet? The SPT is "loud" (not a loud as others, but loud), like you have a hole in your muffler

As the world advance forward, the ways to paint a painting gets increasingly numerous! For today's topic, I'll talk about what is traditional painting and what is clone painting... in the digital sense of course
Traditional painting
It involves the concept of having physically the drawing medium and the drawing canvas. With a photograph reference by your side or with the whole scenery in front of you, basically you draw with whatever means you can on that canvas. Two main areas to take note of here: (1) Drawing on the "correct" position and (2) Getting the right colours and lightings.
Ever wonder why your painting of a person seems "crooked" in some sense? That's probably because the nose wasn't drawn with respect to the position of the eyes but from the chin. What? The chin was drawn with respect to the shirt? Shirt from the long hair? Hair from the ears and eye brows? And so on. In fact, to achieve a certain standard of likeness of the subject we want to draw, we need to take into account of everything.
Taking portraits as an example, why your painting will look like your subject is probably the size and the location of all the features of a human face is drawn in place. Technically speaking, this means that if the eye brows are of 3cm apart, 2.8cm above the eye, eyes are 3.2 cm wide, 1.1cm apart, etc. When all the calculations are done and readings taken, the face will be drawn with superb likeness, especially if drawn using a grid as a guiding tool. Well, we painter don't do such left-brainer stuff, we feel. From the look of our subject, we try to "feel" where the eyes should be, where the nose should be, where the lips should be, etc. We check the whole picture every now and then to see if we "feel" any awkwardness in our paintings. Any such "feelings" we will quickly find out where or what went wrong and make appropriate amendments. As we gain more experience, we cut down the time spent to wonder what went wrong and also shorten the amount of time needed to correct our "mistakes."
Sometimes we get too engross in the eyes, we draw everything with reference from the eyes and neglect other features' positions or "feel," our paintings will go "awkward."
Another part would be the colours and the lightings. An experienced painter could do wonders with probably just a few tubes of colours because they know how the mixing goes. Again, if we say it in technical terms, we say like 50% yellow and 50% red gives you 100% orange, etc. Do bare in mind that the tubes of oils that a painter buys doesn't always come in with the same red. Different companies come out with their own series of colour codings. Even with the same type of yellow, the yellow oils might come with different qualities and hence results in different tones/shades of the same composition in a particular mixture of paints. Usually, a painter will stick to the same company for years buying the same red, or some will just mix them on the spot and experiment with the outcomes. That'll probably sound more artistic since we get to play with our "feelings."
Similar concept to putting the facial features at the right spot, we also need to put the colours at the right spot. Areas which are closer to the painter/camera will usually be lighter. Things further away will tend to be darker or even less saturate.
Look at the leaf on your hand, the leaf is freshly picked from a tree you passed by just 100 meters away. The green in the leaf is so vibrant and lifely that you could just use a few more seconds to stare at it. You lift up your head to find the source, hoping to catch the same green. Yes, the tree is green alright, but wait! The green in the trees is not as vibrant as the leaf on your hand! What happened? Being amazed at your findings, you look beyond the tree and found a mountain full of the same species far away. This time the green has such low saturation that it's too obvious to lie to yourself. So, what actually happened?
Scientifically, light waves attenuates with distance. It means that lights that are further away will appear dimmer. Okay, I accept the dimmer part, but why is it less saturate then? It's due to the air between the source and our eye. Think of it as a mist, the mist will kind of blur the colours and make it more "whitish" in a sense. Well, for more information kindly proceed to the Internet Deskfront for your cup of hot documentary.
Some artist like to begin their drawing with sketches, some like to begin with blocks of colours. Both means are to find the "correct" position of their subjects to achieve likeness. Likeness in terms of facial features, or it can be in terms of 3D realism of the scenery.
Traditional painting (Digitally)
Alright, digital paintings slightly make the life of a traditional painter easier. All the paint buckets are free. Colours are freeflow. Brushes are needless to wash. There's no setup time, only loading time. There wont be any more mess created after each painting and packing up the paint equipments is just a few clicks away. But the two concepts that I mentioned earlier on remains. Hee i repeat again (1) Drawing the subject details on the right position and (2) Applying the correct colours and lightings for your details.
Don't get me wrong. As an artist, by saying the word "correct" is actually subjective. You might want to paint a tree pink instead of the usual green or brown, that's perfectly fine. So in this case, it's more about the applying the correct tone of colours and the correct level of lightings. Terms like light sources, main source, secondary source, background light, bounce light, diffuse light, shine, etc. might not be so stranger to most of the artists. To understand those things needs time and a lot of practice. For myself, I use portrait paintings of pretty girls as a form of motivation to train my foundations. In the end, with a good foundation within my grasp, I can go on with drawing concepts without much reference. That's my aim. I want to be able to create something great from just an empty canvas.
Digital painting has more benefits like the Undo function, cut and paste, transform, etc. For example, if the left eye was drawn a little too small and to far away from the right eye, I can apply the transform functionality to move and enlarge the eye. As in traditional painting, careful planning has to take place. Digital painters will still have to go through the mixing of colours, picking the right colours and applying the brush strokes onto the canvas. The same person with decent skills who can paint a scenery traditionally for 3 days could probably do the same in 10hours with digital paintings. Well, if you wanna ask those professionally trained artists, some of them could probably come out with a mona lisa within 2hour using digital media (I'm just guessing). Great digital artists like Feng Zhu or Artgerms, they could do a few pretty tight drawings/paintings within a day.
Well, digital paintings have their own benefits but that doesn't outdo the appeals of a traditional painting. Digital and Tradition painter like Jeremy Sutton he did it both ways -- Scan a traditional painting and continue his digital journey or printing out a digital painting and start brushing in his newly bought oils! Isn't it cool!
Okay, so you wanna try out digital painting! Corel has recently launched its all new Painter 12. Its great plus point is to be able to replicate near realistic brushstrokes (This includes water colours, oils, airbrush, etc.). For cheaper alternatives, you can try out Artrage or even GIMP (It's free!)
Clone Painting (Digitally Only)
It is sometimes known as stamp painting or photo painting with the aid of the Stamp Tool in either Photoshop or in Painter. Painting with this tool requires much less skills than the above two kinds of painters. Basically what it does is that for every brush stroke, the photo that is "behind" the canvas will slowly come to life. You don't really have to build much skills about the (1) correct positions or (2) correct colours and lightings because no matter how random your brush strokes are, the picture will eventually come to life. This would be very useful if you want to create speed painting of a person with superb likeness but don't have the skill of a Vinci, this could be heaven for you. Probably what you need to do is to prepare a sketch/trace from the photo that is layered behind the drawing canvas (!WARNING! Photoshop terms are used. For more information about layers in photoshops, kindly Yahoo! or Google it. You might want to give Wiki a try too!) and since the artist is drawing on the picture it self (on a different layer of course), it'll be a lot easier and less time consuming as well. Once the trace is complete, turn off the reference layer, turn on the stamp tool or clone tool and start acting like an artists! Alright, the things that you'll be learning here will be slightly different from a traditional painter. Since you're no longer bounded by the correct position horror and the colour and lightings monsters, what will you be battling against? It's the brush strokes. The trace layer isn't meaningless for this matter. It means a lot for an entirely different reason.
Take a portrait for example, the trace will tell you where is the hair, eye brows, skin, eyes, etc. You wouldn't want to paint in a brush stroke that is perpendicular to the flow of the nice long hair! That's totally rubbish!
Another benefit is that for smoother skin, the artist will use a bigger brush size. For finer details like the eye brows, smaller brush size will be considered. Nonetheless, it's still about the brush strokes!
What next?
This article is mainly to inform the public that there exist such tool which require much less time and much less skills to achieve the ultimate awesomeness with just a few weeks of learning versus a 10years experience photorealistic master. For myself, I stay away from the clone tool as far as I can unless it's for photo manipulating projects. Big reason is because I want to study the lightings and positionings of my subjects. It's through this traditional style that I've finally gain so much more insights about art. And I'm aiming for the skills that so many artist is possessing out there!
In my opinion, clone painting can only offer so much knowledge and challenge to aspiring artist. If you ask me, well, I might consider using clone tool to paint but I'll leave that to until I've mastered my foundation first. I strongly advise against skipping the foundation learning. An artist who strongly recommend a high command of the foundation skills is Feng Zhu. Catch his free online YouTube tutorial by searching for his name or FZD or FengZhu Design School. He's opened a Design school in Singapore just recent years. He's a great guy to learn from.
Traditional Painting, Digital Painting with Traditional Skills, or Digital Painting with Clone Tool, it's all up to you. It depends on what you want to achieve and what you want to show to the whole world. For myself, ultimately I do not want to draw from photo references, I want to draw without reference. How would I do it? Catch me on my journal "How to be a Self-Taught Digital Artist?" (Sorry! I'm still working on writing the last few episodes!)
Good luck to your artistic journey!

INTERVIEW-Comoros targets over 3 pct growth in 2012 - c.bank chief
* Sees 2012 inflation at 3.5 to 4 pct
* Banking sector, tourism to attract investments
* Gulf states providing financial assistance
By Martina Fuchs
DUBAI, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Comoros' economy may grow more than 3 percent in 2012, aided by the expansion of the fledgling banking sector and investments in tourism, its central bank governor said on Thursday.
"In 2011, we have a projection of 2.6 percent of real growth," Central Bank Governor Mze Abdou Mohamed Chanfiou told Reuters by telephone from the capital Moroni.
The economy of the Comoros, a group of four islands between Madagascar and southern Africa, relies heavily on agriculture and fishing. It is the world's largest producer of the essence ylang ylang, used in aromatherapy, and also exports vanilla and cloves.
"Next year, we are targeting economic growth of more than 3 percent... We are seeing a gradual improvement of economic growth," he said. Growth plunged to 0.8 percent in 2007 and 0.4 percent in 2008, but rebounded in 2009 following the global financial crisis.
In August, the International Monetary Fund predicted the economy would expand by a little over 2 percent this year, driven by an uptick in agricultural production. Continued...

Redding man dies in RV fire
REDDING, Calif. - A Redding man died in an RV fire at the Riverside Mobile Home Park.
The Redding Fire Department got the call around 12:15 early Wednesday morning. Fire crews say the fifth wheel RV was nearly engulfed in flames when they arrived.
A neighbor, Randy Hogue, had tried to help put out the fire.
"I just saw a flash through my window and heard a commotion," said Hogue. "There had been a barbecue or something earlier so the noise wasn't a big factor until it got closer and louder. Once I opened my door I saw the flames and grabbed a fire extinguisher and went next door. It really didn't do a heck of a lot. We got some water going on it and tried to get the guy out."
Investigators are still looking into the cause of the fire.
The identity of the victim has not been released.

As you may have noticed from THIS post and THIS post, I've been in on a real He-Man and the Masters of the Universe kick lately. You can imagine my happy surprise to learn that Hollywood is looking for the right muscled man to play He-Man in an upcoming new film based on the classic 80's cartoon superhero. The film project has a director in place, the next big slot to fill is the role of He-Man himself. People magazine lists their picks on who could play the most powerful man in the universe … read on:
WANTED: The most powerful man in the universe. Should be muscular. Blond hair a plus. Needs to be skilled in the Secrets of Grayskull and immune to evil forces of Skeletor. Long hours, good pay. Some near-nudity required. That, at least, is how one might imagine the casting call for the role of He-Man in the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie, based on the successful Mattel toy line – launched in 1982 – and already the inspiration for the 1987 feature Masters of the Universe, which starred a muscular, blond and nearly naked Dolph Lundgren as Eternia's greatest warrior and Skeletor's archenemy. The proposed 2011 version is to be directed by John Stevenson, who co-directed Kung-Fu Panda and whose credits also include the Shrek movies. But still up for grabs: the leading role of He-Man. This is where you come in. Imagine yourself the casting director, in search of the ultimate action hero. From these four box-office-worthy hunks, whom would you pick to fill He-Man's furry briefs?
After the jump, see a photo that will remind you of what Lundgren looked like when he played He-man in 1987, read the list of People magazine's candidates for the role of He-Man and see who I think would be a great unknown actor to play the part …
Chris Evans, 28. With his striking good looks and buff body, the Human Torch of the Fantastic Four series could easily adapt to the demands of becoming He-Man. What might be a strike against him, however, is that he has already been tapped to play the Marvel Comics hero Captain America in the big-screen Captain America: The First Avenger, also set for release next year.
Kellan Lutz, 25. The North Dakota native sends pulses racing with his turn as Emmett Cullen in the Twilight series – to say nothing of his revealing Calvin Klein X underwear shots. A former Abercrombie & Fitch model, Lutz has already entered superhero terrain – as a modern-day Poseidon, the earth-shaking Greek God of the Sea, in the 2011 fantasy action drama Immortals.
Alexander Skarsgård, 33. This Stockholm native (and former anti-terrorist Swedish marine) is already a master of the universe: he directs. Last year he appeared in Lady Gaga's music video Paparazzi. But fans of HBO's True Blood know him best as Eric Northman, the vampire sheriff so sexy that hardly anyone can resist his fangs. Imagine what he can do wielding a sword.
Channing Tatum, 29. The Alabaman who kicked off his career as an exotic dancer exudes strong, silent sexiness, and made the far-fetched Dear John tolerable if only for his beach scenes. He also caused heads to turn on dry land in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. The only thing possibly standing between him and Eternia: commitments for G.I. Joe 2 and The Eagle of the Ninth.
This is an impressive list but all of these men, with the exception of Skarsgård, have other big screen action films already on their plates. And while I think Alexander Skarsgård would be an amazingly hot He-Man, I don't know that he's got the bulk to pull off the character. Of these candidates, I think Kellan Lutz looks most the part. In my humble opinion, I think the studio should find an unknown actor to play the part — someone we've never seen before …
… well, okay, maybe not this guy but someone who is hot enough to make He-Man believable on the big screen. My fear is that any movie about He-Man will be cheesy (much like the 1987 film Masters of the Universe was). I hope the film can be adapted in a believable way … He-Man is one of my favorite things in life. I don't want Hollywood to eff it up … again.
So … who do YOU think should play He-Man on the big screen?

In her short life, 6-year-old Abbey Dankwerth of St. Louis Park has undergone 13 surgeries, including open-heart surgery in 2011. She was born with congenital hip dysplasia, a condition where the hips don't form properly. Abbey's mother Michelle often worried about how the ordeal was affecting her daughter emotionally. "She didn't understand why she needed to wear a cast all the time," says Michelle.
While researching ways to help Abbey, Michelle found Hope the Hip Hippo, a story about a brave little hippo coping with hip dysplasia. Co-authors Gina Jay (of Georgia) and Julie Beattie (of Canada) both have preschool-age daughters with hip dysplasia and wrote Hope to help families like theirs. "It's frustrating when your child is trying to understand, and you can't help," Jay says. "We want kids to relate to Hope, and realize they aren't alone."
The effect on Abbey was huge. "We read it three times the day I brought it home," Michelle recalls. "It gave her the words she needed to communicate."
Seeing how helpful Hope was for Abbey, the Dankwerths wanted to introduce other families to the book; they donated 100 copies of Hope to Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare's Child Life department.
Gillette is putting Hope to good use. "The book is great. It's fun and lighthearted, but gets at underlying issues," says Natalie Kinsky, Child Life specialist.

The lean entrepreneurship movement has captivated Silicon Valley and entrepreneurs across the country. It provided an agile framework to develop the right product solution for a given target market and is now used by almost every fledgling company to do just that.
The next challenge is growth - to achieve the financial returns and, more importantly, the impact they dreamed of when starting off on their adventure.
Why do some companies realize the VC's goal of a 10x return on investment while others flounder? What differentiates the companies that become part of the fabric of our lives and remain responsive no matter how big they get from those that quickly fade? To find out, Ammirati looks at 20 different companies in pairs who have achieved product-market fit at about the same point in history, with the same general target customer - one of which has gone on to achieve real scale while the other languished. As his research reveals, just a handful of choices - among them, who to partner with, how to finance growth, and how to use data - make all the difference in the world.
With such intriguing examples as LinkedIn vs. Spoke, Facebook vs. Friendster, and McDonald's vs. White Castle, Ammirati shows the secret of "the science of growth" and how to cultivate it in any organization.

"Awesome book"
Great book that contrasts some great companies and how they outgrew the competition and the major factors that played a role in their successes.
"Very interesting. Great book!"
It's very interesting to hear the stories behind how companies that are household names became successful compared to others that were not. As a business owner I found this book very informative and helpful.
"Pretty fun"
It's pretty good. It's not one of those big words, long phrases but nothing useful kind of book. Some of the lessons is little hard to apply for little startup but generally Lots useful stuff. Organized, back by some decent reasons and studies.
"Thank you for the summary"
This is good information to have distilled and read to if you are building a new tech company.
"Misleading Subtitles"
The information in the book is fairly good. However, I purchased the book in hopes of hearing detailed stories of how Facebook beat Friendster and other corporate battles. I was expecting entire chapter devoted to historical origins, biographies of key players, how their ambitions and/or other errors resulted in misteps. I
Instead, what the book truly is is a discussion of different elements of growth, with a few mentions of what the companies did sprinkled in here and there. The companies are simply used as examples of how to prove other points being made, as opposed to them being the story. Had this book had a different title, I would have been ok.
Hopefully a book that actually talks about the history of corporate wars and mis-steps
The performance of this book is completely terrible. Through and through awful. The speaker and/or editor obviously did not listen to their finished product. They obviously used a Vox recorder. Everyone knows this type of device doesn't activate until it hears a sound. Which means the first sound of speech is missing. Their setting must have been set to high because literally every pause has the first sound missing. Imagine trying to read a book with someone cutting off the first few letters of every row of every page. Frustrating, and needlessly so.
The story would have been just fine if it didn't have the subtitle. If it was simply called "The Science of Growth", I would have liked the story just fine, although the performance was still awful.
This is a disturbing trend with my recent purchases. Please instruct your narrators to use appropriate equipment that does not pause during silence. The equipment they use cuts off the initial sounds of every paragraph. This makes for a terrible listening experience ---ying to figure out what was said. ---gine having to do this for every paragraph of an 8 hour book. --ry frustrating!!
"Expected more from this boom"
Not too much info and details on how companies succeed while others fail. Im disappointed because I will have to do some research. But overall, not bad.
"Good, easy read. Interesting high level thoughts"
Listened to it. Reading it would have been better given the material but overall a well written and well thought out book. In the vein of good to great.
"I got nothing out of this book."
Author pretty much put together information out there on a book. Nothing new here.
"Good book... you can find everywhere online"
The stories are interesting, but can be found everywhere online. Hardly any fact mentioned was original, and the "science" is basically what Eric Ries (Lean Startup) and Sean Ellis (GrowthHacker) say on their complementing theories, with the authors' own words. Not much of an original content, but a light and entertaining book nonetheless. Recommended if you've never heard of the case studies and / or Lean Startup methodology.

I believe that you can accomplish a lot when you are organized. We've all seen many expert organizational designers get homes, closets and offices organized. Well you can do the same with your refrigerator...really! We all go to the grocery store and purchase all of these great vegetables and fruits with the best of intentions that we will incorporate them into healthy meals that week. Well, our busy lives take over, a week goes by (or longer) and all of sudden you smell that pungent odor coming from your fridge. You forgot what you had in there!
You can save so much money and time by taking a few lessons from Sunday Set-Up, my new food program. I will show you what you need to purchase and how to organize it in your refrigerator. My celebrity clients include Kaley Cuoco, Mel B, Nancy O'Dell, Tiffani Thiessen, Regina King, Rebecca Romijn, Amber Valleta, Angie Harmon and David Boreanaz, just to name a few. They've had me come to their homes to organize and transform their refrigerators, but it also translated into a huge cost and time saving concept which they are now implementing in their households.
The concept is quite simple: you make a list of what to buy (your favorite grain and lean protein, along with fresh fruits and veggies) and store it in glass-lock containers. I suggest using these containers which are made of tempered glass (you can see what's inside), air tight and can go from the freezer to microwave to dishwasher. They are also great daily reminders of what you have in the fridge, such as grab and run snacks -- the old adage "out of sight, out of mind" rings true, if it is staring you in the face every day, you know what you have to eat. All of these brightly colored fruits and veggies will inspire you to make a healthy salad, pasta or soup and not run to the closest fast-food restaurant after a long day at work.
Sunday Set-Up is simple, it just takes 45 minutes on Sunday (or any day of the week) to prep and chop. In between chopping, grab a chair in the kitchen and combine ten tricep dips and ten sit-down squats; so you would do ten dips and ten squats while you wait for your brown rice or quinoa to cook. If you join the club, you will receive seven new recipes every week for supper, sides, salads and more. My philosophy is to keep it real when it comes to your meals. If you can count back one step to the original state of the food, then that should be your choice. Like an apple, it is one step from the tree. The closer to "real" the better.
Let's make your health a priority and organize your refrigerator to be the "hub of healthy eating." Let's not also forget that you also have to organize your workout routine, by setting up a calendar (post it on the fridge as a daily reminder) of the days you are going to workout and what body part is your focus that week. For me, I love cardio, but I cannot do it every day, so maybe you figure Monday is for yoga, Tuesday is the Kathy Kaehler step workout; Wednesday is a rest day and you can do planks while watching TV that night.
The idea is to get some sort of physical activity every day, but it does not have to be an intense workout. It can be an evening walk with your husband, boyfriend, friend, kids or dog (I think I mentioned all the important people in your life!). As a Sunday Set-Up Club Member, you can get personally trained by me every month with my web workouts in the club. This might be the starting point to getting your total health package organized.
Believe me, your waistline and wallet will thank you. Here's just a taste of what Sunday Set-Up recipes are all about -- they are easy to make, but will also keep you feeling satiated, not bloated on those hot summer days and evenings. Make enough for you, friends and family! I can guarantee that one of these recipes will become your staple; all of my friends have a favorite. Julia Roberts loves the kale chips!

Soulless Beasts: The Devil's Burden Book 2 HTML version
from the painful memories of my moment of happiness. That wasn't my purpose for going
there, though. I went there to be close to her.
I waited for the moment to arrive. I knew it was coming. I had spent most of the night
completely focused on getting drunk. I occasionally glanced up at the stage to see a pair of
human tits. Most of them weren't very impressive. The dark industrial music that screamed
through the speakers had a way of drowning out the sound of the voice inside my head. The
laughter and cheers of the other patrons made me feel as if there was no shame in being where
I was.
"Please welcome Rose to the stage," the DJ's voice shouted through the speakers.
The moment I had been waiting for had arrived. When I heard her name, my eyes shot
towards the stage and she had my undivided attention. When she moved it was as if her body
fused with the music, becoming one perfect being comprised of pure energy. She had so much
confidence in her naked, tattooed body. I couldn't stop staring at her hazel eyes, though.
There was so much tragic beauty in those eyes. It was like she escaped the harshness of reality
when she danced. It was as if she was on a different spiritual plane than everyone else that
surrounded her. Watching her, I couldn't remember why I hated humanity. I couldn't
remember anything. There was only her. Then the song ended and it was over. My trance was
broken as she walked off the stage.
I ordered another beer and a couple shots of whiskey. I went back to being the "creepy,
brooding guy sitting in the corner". I was well aware of what the people in the club thought of

Snooki in trouble after crashing into police car
According to sources, Snooki is shooting for season 4 of the reality show 'Jersey Shore' in Italy. She was driving her Fiat Multipla with co-star and a member of production team when she hit the back of the patrol car. None sustained any serious injuries incident, but two officers were rushed immediately to the local Careggi hospital.
The TV star's vehicle was sandwiched between the highway wall and the police cruiser in the accident. Her co-star Deena, who was in the passenger seat, had to exit through the window because the door was blocked by the wall. Meanwhile, this fender bender had brought the rush hour traffic to a standstill.
However, Snooki has not been arrested for the car accident, but she was taken into the central police station of Florence to file routine paperwork. Sources claim that the TV star was interrogated about the crash and may face charges at a later date.

Stevens holds forum to help small businesses use social media
* Small businesses get advice from major online companies
HOBOKEN — More than 400 small-business owners, entrepreneurs and social media gurus Friday descended on Stevens Institute of Technology to attend a tech and social innovation forum, whose goal was to show small businesses how companies such as Facebook and Yelp can help them grow. Attendees were advised to know their brand, their audience and not stretch themselves too thin.
The event was held in partnership with Sen. Cory Booker and The Internet Association, a group that focuses on advancing Internet freedom and innovation.
The three-hour event was split between a panel discussion and four different breakout sessions where attendees could meet with representatives from Facebook, Yelp, Google or AOL/Huffington Post.
Steve Jones, chief executive officer and so-called inventor in chief at websignia, a Newark-based digital innovation company, told the audience that too often companies invest in too many social media tools. It is better to focus on a few areas and do them well, he said. For example, if a company has an audience of millennials, then that company would benefit from tools such as Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. If a company's audience is made up of professionals, then LinkedIn would be the better tool.
For some small-business owners, the digital tools that social media giants can provide seem foreign. Joyce Flinn, who co-owns three restaurants in Hoboken with her husband, said the discussions held throughout the day were informative.
"For me, the Internet is like the inter-web," said Flinn. "My 20-something kids tease me about how little I know." Flinn attended the conference in hopes of improving one of her restaurants' presence on the business review site Yelp. Still, she said that she will have to rely on her young staffers to help her implement more social media tools for her businesses.
During a breakout session with Yelp, the San Francisco-based company's senior manager of local business outreach, Darnell Holloway, advised a room of 12 business owners how Yelp could help their businesses grow.
"Yelp is becoming a huge destination for consumers," he told the business owners. "So if you just build your presence on Yelp … it's going to be a huge driver for potential traffic." Holloway advised that companies having photos, store hours and interacting with people that comment on their site could make all the difference.
Stephanie Yolish, Yelp's New Jersey senior community manager, said that she has seen more people using Yelp in the area.
In his opening remarks, Stevens President Nariman Farvardin said that Hoboken has the potential to be a hub for innovation in the state.
Other speakers, such as Bert Navarrete, the general manager of Tigerlabs, a company that focuses on transforming start-ups into businesses, added that other cities in New Jersey like Princeton are also potential hot spots.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Chris Bosh insists he's so committed to helping the Miami Heat rebound from their recent struggles that he's willing to remove himself from the equation if he's considered the source of the problem.
Bosh stopped short of suggesting Wednesday that he'd be willing to come off the bench. But in the midst of one of the worst rebounding seasons of his career, the 10-year veteran said he would support changes to the roster or rotation if the Heat found someone who could do a better job.
"Put rebounders in there, and we're going to rebound," Bosh said after the Heat's practice in advance of Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers. "And if that's not me, I'm all for making this team better. If Coach needs to put somebody else in that's going to rebound better, then I'm all for it. If I'm lacking on my job and it's not me, and I'm not a good rebounder out there, I'm not what this team needs, then maybe I need to sit and learn some more."
Bosh's comments Wednesday came a day after he finished with just five rebounds in 36 minutes Tuesday during an 87-77 loss to the Indiana Pacers, who became the latest team to expose the Heat's problems on the boards and the road.
The Pacers outrebounded the Heat 55-36, including 22 on the offensive glass, the most allowed by Miami all season. The Heat have lost four of their past seven games, a stretch that has included three occasions when they were outrebounded by at least 17 boards.
Moments after the loss to the Pacers, Bosh suggested the defending champion Heat wouldn't win a playoff series the way they've been playing. But Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, who has repeatedly defended Bosh amid the team's overall rebounding woes, said Wednesday it's time to move away from diagnosing the problems and begin to solve them.
After traveling overnight from Indiana to Portland and arriving at the team's hotel early Wednesday morning, players anticipated a light practice and film session when they entered the Rose Garden for an afternoon workout.
Spoelstra had something different in store.
"It was a day for us to get in here and hit each other," Spoelstra said of the team's approach to addressing concerns. "Nothing more than that. No film. No talk. We just needed to get back to working. The thing about this team is we've always shown an ability and an honesty to own it. We're not hiding from what's been going on. We've talked about it enough. So let's get the pads up, mouth guards in, braces on and let's hit. Let's work to fix it."
Spoelstra said the team didn't necessarily need to address some of the comments players have made in questioning the system and their roles in it after recent losses. Bosh's statements about the team not being good enough right now to win a playoff series, however, did garner some attention.
"We all get frustrated in the heat of the moment after the game," Spoelstra said. "All of the talking won't change it."
But that hasn't stopped the dialogue from flowing between the team's marquee players. Asked if he felt it was a good idea for players to publicly express their frustrations, forward LeBron James said "Yeah, absolutely."
"It's not like we do it behind each others' backs," James said. "We say it to each others' face. We have that friendship, that brotherhood where we'll say it to your face. You don't like to hear it all the time, but it's for the better of the team. When you have that history with guys, it makes it a lot more comfortable when you know you can say what you want to say and guys won't take it that personally."
Even during their recent slide of sorts, the players and Spoelstra have maintained that the team's priority would be to fix their problems from within. That appears to be the case with the team's roster decisions the past few days.
After releasing guard Terrel Harris and center Josh Harrellson last week to free up two roster spots for flexibility, the Heat signed former training camp invitee Jarvis Varnado to a 10-day contract Wednesday and were strongly considering re-signing Harrellson to a similar deal.
Those moves bring the roster back to the NBA maximum of 15 players, meaning Miami has moved -- for now -- from recent interest in free-agent veteran Chris Andersen, who worked out for the Heat earlier this week.
James said he didn't believe there were any free agents currently available who could help the Heat right now.
"This is who we have," James said. "Ain't nobody outside. Who's out there? If it was somebody out there, they would have been gotten picked up. You know, this is who we've got. And as a collective group, we have to figure it out."
For Dwyane Wade, this is just another dose of adversity the Heat have to face and overcome. They've been here before.
"It's not new," Wade said. "It might have a different face, a different topic. But it's the same thing you go through, and you have to go through it. It's frustrating, but I don't mind going through it. I know that if you've got the team that's good enough, you've got the players that are good enough and you want to do it, you'll come out of it better."

Date of Stay: June, 2008
We stayed overnight and thought that we might make this a destination campground in the future. great folks
Date of Stay: May, 2008
Every time we've came here in the last two years we are pleased to see the improvements that are going on. This time was no different; the host's did craft's for the kid's to give on mother's day and games for them to play. Checkers on the front porch of store, and shuffleboard at the playground. It was very peaceful at night, a little noisy at first, then quiet hours were enforced, and the night was very peaceful. They are picky about where you park your cars, but after explaining why, we could understand. I guess the only ranger there is the girl, because she is the only one we ever see. The young lady in the store is very courteous and friendly. The music on Saturday night was great. the hosts stay on top of this campground ensuring a safe place to bring our kids. Can't wait to come back.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
Great Park, thought we were going to have problem with noisy neighbors, but when quiet hours rolled around, the campground host's were there to quiet them down. Park was dusty because of no rain. Park had activities for our children and karaoke on Saturday night. This is a great family place
Date of Stay: May, 2007
Unless your a horse lover, don't bother,management was rude, bring a lot of boards to level with
Date of Stay: May, 2007
We have camped here several times in the last 5 years. the new management have really made a difference to this park as a whole, it looks great. The new host's are great, helped us get in our campsite and bird house building for our kids on Saturday was something we had never experienced at a campground. The music that night was a blessing, and chapel on Sunday morning. We already have made plans to return
Date of Stay: April, 2007
Really enjoyed this park, Staff were real nice and helpful, Park was set up nice, Late night trains will wake you if you go tenting though. We will definitely be going back
Date of Stay: April, 2007
Great place to visit, fishing on lake is real good, i've never seen a cleaner bathroom, rangers real courteous
