So it begins...
Hello everybody,
Just saying hello and I look forward to losing some of this weight.
I wonder if anybody can help me, I have a question or two.
I know that the best weight loss results come from eating less and exercising more. I have a bit of a problem with the latter unfortunately, not because I can't bring myself to do it, rather I basically can't do it.
I have a breathing problem which makes me feel very out of breath. Even at rest, I have to take big gulps of breath and constantly feel 'unsatisfied' - the feeling is a bit like trying to get over a hill with each breath: sometimes you make it and sometimes you don't. This makes intensive exercise basically impossible.
I've seen a few people who have basically told there is nothing physically wrong with me, but that it's a psychological thing with my breathing pattern being 'out of sync' with my oxygen debt. I am doing the exercises that were given to me but have been told it will almost certainly take several months before I'm back to normal.
While I am basically ok doing 'easy' exercises like walking, hardcore cardio stuff is impossible. And because it seems that only the 'easy' exercise options are available for me, I would have to be spending a disproportionate amount doing to them to get much benefit.
So I was just looking for some advice on how best to proceed. There is a limit to how much walking I can do in a day, both because of time constraints and because, well, 2 hours of walking (even with music) seems an awfully long time.
I am determined to get exercising again, both as a symbol of a change in lifestyle and for the actual benefits. But what to do? It seems ludicrous for someone of my size (6"1, 115KG / 250 LBS) to start doing calisthenics without doing the cardio, but if that will help me loose weight (rather than just putting on muscle) then so be it. Does anybody have any thoughts? I would be grateful for any ideas people might have.
p.s. sorry to keep on asking for things, but i have one more! I used the Harris Benedict equation to determine that my resting calorie expenditure is 2373. The site I used said, however, that this equation over-estimates for the 'very fat'. Can anybody shed any light on whether this applies to me, and if so, what a more realistic figure would be. My BMI is 33.3 (ouch!). Thanks again

Game Quotes: Cavaliers vs. Rockets
Cavaliers Head Coach Byron Scott
(On the game tonight):
"I thought we competed. (Houston) is a good basketball team. They do a good job of spreading the floor, moving the ball and they have a guy that can close games out in James Harden."
(On the fourth quarter):
"Fourth-quarter wise, we had some costly turnovers. They got some transition baskets. The one thing about (Houston) is that even though it's the fourth quarter, they don't slow down. They keep pushing. They keep attacking. Then towards the end, they just put the ball in James' hands and let him make plays. We missed some shots, we had some (turnovers) that kind of cost us and they had a couple of transition baskets."
(On Rockets guard James Harden's play in the second half):
"He got to the free throw line a lot. Then he got his rhythm and made some jumpers. He's one of those guys that once he gets his rhythm, he's hard to guard…I thought that in the first half, he got into some early foul trouble and got taken out of the game. Sometimes, that throws your rhythm off as a player. When he came out in the third quarter, we knew he was going to start shooting the ball and being more aggressive, and he was. That's what great players do."
(On Kyrie Irving's play tonight):
"I thought he tried to press at times and take the load. Again, that's what great players do as well. They want to put it all on their backs at times. A couple of times, he might have tried to go to far, tried to get into the lane and got it stripped a few times. But again, it was just one of those nights for him as far as the turnovers are concerned…He's still young as well. Everyone keeps forgetting that this is only his second year as well. He's going to make some mistakes. He's a 20-year-old, second-year player, but I think he understands how important it is for him to make sure we keep the ball as much as possible in his hands, and also for him to make good decisions. So it's a growing process for him as well."
(On if he is pressing too much):
"I'm just trying to be aggressive; looking to find my guys in transition a lot more and just trying to pick up the pace. Over the last couple of games, I've been trying to do that, get rebounds, get in there with our bigs and trying to start the break."
(On his turnovers tonight):
"I was just really loose with the ball in terms of my handling tonight. Different plays weren't made and resulted in costly turnovers; turnovers that I usually don't make that cost us the game tonight."
(On James Harden's fourth quarter):
"He started making shots, that's what great players do. He got his shots up and got to the free throw line as usual and made good plays."
(On where he thought the game got away from the team):
"Just the fourth quarter. We had defensive breakdowns and just couldn't get stops. (Carlos) Delfino hit a crucial three, but it's just part of the game. Sometimes they make shots and you've just got to keep playing."
(On James Harden's fourth quarter):
"He's an All-Star, first and foremost, so he's going to make plays down the stretch. He's their go to guy and he's going to find a way to get in the paint and compliment other guys. We just needed to tighten up on defense, but he made shots and made plays."
Rockets Head Coach Kevin McHale
(On the game):
"It was a tough game. It was a game where we had a tough time getting stops. We found a way to win and sometimes when you're on the road you have to do that."
(On James Harden's play):
"He sure had a couple of big shots. There's no question about that. He had a couple of threes where he bobbled one around and made that one, then he hit a cold-blooded three. Having James helps quite a bit. He made some great plays but as a team, we found ways to get it done."
(On the Jeremy Lin and Kyrie Irving matchup):
"Kyrie might have had 30 (points) but I think Jeremy did a good job on him."
Jeremy Lin
(On closing out the fourth quarter):
"We just tried to pack the paint defensively and contest every jumper. We put an emphasis on defensive rebounds. Offensively, we spread the floor. We're a little more mature in our development so we really understand that late in the fourth we have to trust and depend on each other a little more and tonight was a good example of that."
(On James Harden's play):
"He caught fire at the right time for us. He had a slower night earlier then he just took us offensively all the way in the fourth quarter which was real nice."
(On Houston's 14-2 record versus the Eastern Conference):
"I have no idea why that is. I wish that was our Western Conference record. Maybe we should consider switching conferences."
(On defending Kyrie Irving):
"He's a heckuva player. I tried to make it difficult for him, but he's one heckuva player and he's tough to stop."
- The Cavs collected 17 offensive rebounds, which led to a 20-15 advantage in second chance points.
- Cleveland shot 25-28 (.893) from the charity stripe tonight and 60-66 (.909) from the foul line in their last three games at The Q.
- Kyrie Irving finished with a game-high 30 points, four rebounds, six assists and a career-high tying four steals in 41 minutes. Irving has now notched back-to-back 30-point games for the first time in his career and is averaging 31.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 4.0 steals in 39.5 minutes in those two games.
- Alonzo Gee recorded 18 points on 6-12 (.500) shooting from the field and six rebounds in 32 minutes. Gee has scored in double figures in nine of his last 10 games and is averaging 11.9 points and 5.1 rebounds in 33.7 minutes during that span.
- Tristan Thompson tallied his seventh double-double in nine games with 14 points and a career-high 16 rebounds (eight offensive) in 37 minutes. Over that stretch, Thompson is averaging 13.2 points on 44-88 (.500) shooting and 12.9 rebounds in 36.4 minutes per game.
- In his ninth career start, Tyler Zeller tallied 12 points, five rebounds, a career-high five assists and a career-high three steals in 37 minutes.
- Dion Waiters finished with 13 points and five rebounds in 29 minutes off the bench, and is averaging 14.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 31.0 minutes per game this season.

Write Brothers Announces Dramatica Story Expert for the Mac
New Software takes story structure and analysis to next level
Gists are short phrases that illustrate one of Dramatica's 148 structural terms. For example, "Abducting Someone," "Winning the Lottery," or "Stealing Someone's Secrets" are just three of hundreds of Gists for the Dramatica concept of "Obtaining."
Besides lowering the learning curve for the new users, Gists also allow the immediate generation of easily readable story outlines and nearly three dozen reports on the story's structure.
Chris Huntley, VP of Write Brothers, and co-creator of the Dramatica Theory, explains that "Dramatica doesn't write the story – the writer will always have that job. But Dramatica is still the only tool that responds to writers' choices, giving them customized direction and guidance for creating solid story structure, powerful characters, and rich thematic content. With the new Gist feature writers can better relate to Dramatica's unique structural questions."

After having their Formula One program shut down a couple of years ago by corporate headquarters, Toyota Motorsport has been hunting for a new project ever since. That new project turned out to be the TS030 Hybrid, an advanced Le Mans prototype which they've been gearing up to campaign in the new FIA World Endurance Championship and its headline event, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Only those plans were set back some – if not ground to a halt – last Wednesday when the only working example of the TS030 crashed while undergoing testing at the Paul Ricard circuit in the South of France.
In the statement after the jump, Toyota doesn't specify exactly what happened or who was driving at the time, but you can be sure he's feeling pretty morose right now, because the chassis was damaged so extensively that the team won't be able to repair it in time for the Six Hours of Spa where the car was supposed to make its race debut on May 5. Toyota does, however, expect to be up and running again in time for Le Mans in June, although whether that will leave the team with enough time to build the two cars it was expecting to field there or have to revert to a single entrant remains to be seen.
TOYOTA Racing regrets to announce that, as a result of a testing accident, it is not able to participate in the WEC Six Hours of Spa-Francorchamps.
During testing at Paul Ricard, on Wednesday 4 April, the TS030 HYBRID was involved in an accident which damaged the team's only monocoque.
Regrettably this damage is too severe to repair. A replacement monocoque cannot be produced and sufficiently tested to ensure reliability within the limited time available.
Therefore TOYOTA Racing has informed the organizers of the FIA World Endurance Championship of its decision to withdraw from the WEC Six Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, due to be held on 5 May. The team will make its first appearance at the Le Mans 24 Hours in June.
Yoshiaki Kinoshita, TOYOTA Racing Team President:
"We are deeply saddened to announce this decision and our sympathies are with the drivers, team members and fans who have been anticipating the Spa race so eagerly. Since the accident we have looked into all options but unfortunately there is no alternative course of action open to us."
TOYOTA Racing will now urgently prepare a new monocoque to allow it to resume testing as soon as possible and prepare itself for the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Sunday, 7 March 2010
observer ONLINE
in winning bronze for her mother:
Joannie Rochette's bottom lip
quivered and the tears finally came as she bowed her neck to be adorned
with a bronze medal that felt more like gold. A week of incomprehension
and bewilderment, of professional fulfilment amid personal emptiness,
culminated on the most cherished steps of the Pacific Coliseum as the
girl who became Canada's favourite daughter realized a dream in the
midst of a nightmare.
Few glances and gestures to the heavens in a sporting arena have
meant as much as this one, as Rochette reached upwards to salute her
mother Therese, who died of a heart attack in the early hours of Sunday
morning. Joannie Rochette honoured her mother with her grace and class
and incredible fortitude – all attributes Therese tried to instil in her
"My mother was my biggest fan, my best friend. "She wasn't confident
for herself but she wanted the best for me. She would cheer me up when I
was sad. She would put me down a bit when I got too proud. "Most of all
I wanted to make her proud."
Rochette had little option but to lay herself bare on the Vancouver
ice and hope against hope that muscle memory and perhaps a smattering of
help from above would pull her through. And it did. There were two minor
errors but no falls during Thursday's free skate, and the display was
enough to secure a medal she didn't need in order for her Games to be
considered a triumph.
"I am happy to be on the podium," Rochette said. "That was my goal
coming here and a lifetime project with my mom – and we achieved that.
"I don't know how I could skate, my legs were shaking.
I don't know how I did it, my mind was not here. But I am glad I did
and 10 years from now when the pain has gone a bit I would wish I skated
here and I know that's what my mom would want me to do. "I feel proud
and the result didn't matter." There may be no truer words spoken during
these Winter Olympics. In a circumstance when mere participation would
have been enough.
Tears trickled down Rochette's face and onto the ice, just like they
spilled from countless faces in the Pacific Coliseum crowd, where the
24-year-old's father Normand sat feeling a mixture of pride and loss.
Every jump was met with a collective intake of breath from 11,000 fans,
every spin followed by a sea of eyes and hearts. The method of coping
used by Rochette, utilizing an inner steel that bordered on defiance,
just made the public want to embrace her even more.
Joannie Rochette is a quiet girl from a tiny town in Quebec, where
she will return to reflect on the rollercoaster of emotion she has
survived. Yet she has left a mark on Vancouver and on everyone who
witnessed her personal struggle. She provided these Games one of its
most iconic moments.

Reforming the Insanity Defense
Over on Peter Earley's blog there is a post entitled "How Fair Is The Insanity Defense" that you should all go over and read. I thought about writing a comment there but quickly released this would require a post of its own, so here it is.
He starts out with a case description of a man with an undoubtedly severe mental illness who either shot or assaulted many people while delusional. In 1992, after a failed attempt at civil commitment, he shot and killed two people. At trial state psychiatrists testified that he knew killing was wrong, even though motivated by delusion---in other words, a legally sane crime by the McNaughten test of insanity (which Mr. Earley describes well, I won't be repetitive here). He was sentenced to death and eventually executed in spite of a recommendation for commutation by the Texas Board of Pardon and Paroles.
Mr. Earley is critical of the McNaughten test and feels that we should rethink the legal definition of insanity. He also advocates to end the use of private forensic experts, a point I'll return to later.
First, I think the public should understand there is a certain logic to when and how a defense attorney decides to file an insanity plea. Mr. Earley is appropriately critical of attorneys who file the plea "when their client is obviously guilty and they don't have any other rational explanation to fall back on." It's true that there is sometimes a hidden agenda for requesting a sanity evaluation: there may be a chance that an evaluation could turn up mitigating information that could be used at sentencing, or as leverage in a plea bargain.
Setting aside the hidden agenda, the fact of the matter is that insanity pleas are filed rarely compared to the overall number of offenses that happen every year. This is particularly true of misdemeanors. That's because an insanity plea, if successful, could lead to the defendant ending up under court or health and mental hygiene supervision for years. A simple guilty plea could get a client out of jail, with or without supervision, in months. The attorney is obligated to act in the stated wishes of his client, and that wish is obviously going to be to get out as soon as possible. Thus, we usually only see insanity pleas filed in very serious, felony cases.
So how rare is it? In Maryland, an insanity plea is filed in fewer than one-half of one percent of all crimes commited in a year, both in Circuit and District Court. Out of all crimes committed in Maryland, only 0.032% end in a successful insanity verdict. This certainly doesn't suggest that the defense is being abused.
Regarding the proposal to use court appointed experts (please see also my previous post on private evaluations):
We're already doing that. Most jurisdictions have individual psychiatrists or psychologists working on behalf of the court, either in a court-affiliated medical clinic or under contract with the state's department of health. As the system usually works, this independent court-appointed evaluator completes an assessment and sends a report with an opinion about sanity back to the judge who ordered the evaluation, with a copy sent to the defense attorney who filed the plea and to the prosecution. (Exact details of who gets the report, when they get it and how it can be used may vary between states. I'm speaking in very general terms here.)
Then and only then will a private expert get involved, mainly because one side or the other won't be happy with the independent expert's opinion. In my experience, this usually takes place when the independent expert thinks a defendant is sane and the defense wants to challenge the report. In Maryland, if the court's expert finds someone insane that opinion is almost never challenged by the prosecution because both sides recognize, and agree, that this person is very very sick. (I think the number is somewhere near 90% agreement on insanity but I don't have the study in front of me.)
In short, the insanity defense is hardly ever used and private forensic expert involvement is even less common than that. Out of a few hundred evaluations done every year in our forensic hospital, only a handful will involve a private opposing expert.
Whether or not the legal test of insanity should be changed is an issue that arises regularly throughout history, most recently in 1984 following the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan. Then, Congress passed the Insanity Defense Reform Act which changed the test on a Federal level. It excluded any category of mental illness from serving as the basis of an insanity plea unless the diagnosis was a "serious" mental illness. Many states, including Maryland, revised their insanity statutes following the Hinckley verdict. Four states have completely abolished the insanity defense.
And I guess that's the trick when it comes to opening the bag of worms of insanity reform: there's always the chance, particularly given the outrage following the Connecticut shooting, that the defense could be thrown out altogether. And then where would my seriously mentally ill forensic patients be? The Supreme Court recently had the opportunity to hear a case that would have challenged the constitutionality of a state statute barring the defense, but they turned the case down.
OK, that's wraps up my response. I just wanted to provide a little more background and factual information to the topic since it is going to be discussed a lot in the news as certain high profile cases come to trial.

No! it was just too horrible and shocking, the catastrophic accident that took this sweet and gentle little boy away from me that terrible day in June 1985, The details of his sudden and unexpected death are still too painful to put into words now 20 years later. My tiny little boy's soul was gone instaneously and my only consolation is that it happened so fast, he never knew what happened until he woke up cradled in Everlasting Arms. He was only 2 years old and weighed but 3 or so pounds, having been born with problems of genetics that would forever kept him looking as if he were still a kitten, I never heard him Meow or Purr. Oh, he had a innocence and a sweetness about him that made me want to protect him and guard him every minute. Whisper and Zero kept the watch when I couldn't. In that one unguarded moment, he was gone!

Home > News & Events > News > Awards & Recognitions > Economists Honored For New Model to Translate Medical Research Into Better Care
WASHINGTON—October 14, 2008—The 2008 Eugene Garfield Economic Impact of Medical and Health Research Award was presented today to Amitabh Chandra, PhD, Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and Douglas Staiger, PhD, Dartmouth College. Since 2002 Research!America has presented this award, which is supported by the Eugene Garfield Foundation and, this year for the first time, the University of Chicago Medical Center, one of the nation's leading academic medical centers and research enterprises.
The 2008 Garfield Award recognizes a study by Chandra and Staiger, published in the Journal of Political Economy, which shows why new treatments that work in clinical trials do not always produce better outcomes for patients. Addressing what the authors call a productivity spillover-where specializing in a new procedure can lead to existing treatments being used less effectively-could improve how research is translated into patient care.
"It is an honor to receive this kind of recognition for our work, and we hope to continue our pursuit of solutions that can lead to more efficient application of discoveries in medical research to improve health care quality," said Dr. Chandra and Dr. Staiger.
"We are privileged to present the Garfield Award to these two exemplary economic scientists," said Mary Woolley, president and CEO of Research!America. "Drs. Chandra and Staiger represent the best of what this country has to offer in demonstrating the economic advantages of health and medical research."
The Garfield Award was presented at a luncheon at the Newseum in Washington, DC. David Leonhardt, "Economic Scene" columnist for The New York Times, was the keynote speaker. The event followed a discussion, moderated by Leonhardt, between representatives from the McCain and Obama presidential campaigns about health, research and the economy. At the luncheon, it was also announced that beginning next year, the University of Chicago Medical Center will be the exclusive Sponsoring Partner of the award. UCMC, consistently named to the prestigious U.S. News & World Report "Honor Roll" list of America's best medical centers, is ranked fifth in the country in terms of research funding per faculty member from the National Institutes of Health.
About the 2008 Recipients
Douglas Staiger, PhD, is the John French Professor in Economics at Dartmouth College and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. His current research includes the determinants of quality of care in hospitals and the economics of nurse labor markets and is funded by the National Institutes of Health, among others. He was previously a faculty member at Stanford and Harvard.
Amitabh Chandra, PhD, is an assistant professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and a visiting professor at Dartmouth. He is a faculty research fellow at the IZA Institute in Bonn, Germany, and at the National Bureau of Economic Research. His current research includes the role of medical malpractice litigation on health care delivery and the economics of neonatal health and cardiovascular care.

The Daily Mail carries a tremendous piece by John Kampfner on the current government's use of the Freedom of Information Act veto to block disclosure of the pre-war Cabinet minutes:
The decision not to release official papers on the Iraq war exposes yet again how the political class thinks it is above public scrutiny.
But there is no shortage of information publicly available about what happened, thanks to books, politicians' memoirs, newspaper articles and documentaries.
Many of those involved, from Blair to his aides Alastair Campbell, Jonathan Powell and Peter Mandelson, have put their self-justifying defences into the public domain first — earning handsome publishing and newspaper serialisation fees. In doing so they have used the same spin tactics they deployed in government. Meanwhile — irony of ironies — Blair is paid millions to travel the world telling foreigners how to resolve their conflicts.
The hypocrisy of all this is extraordinary.
At the same time as cashing in on their accounts of the war, successive members of the political class have closed ranks to stop the public from finding out the truth of what went on.
Dominic Grieve is just the latest name to be added to this list which includes Labour's Jack Straw, who also banned the release of Cabinet minutes covering the Iraq war.
Most sickeningly, there seems to be one law for politicians and another for everybody else.
As Chris Lamb, who has twice used FOI to try to get the Cabinet minutes released, has pointed out, what is being protected is not good government in a safe space, but a complete failure of Cabinet government to give sufficient discussion to a massive issue. That is what the political class is concealing.

Equity is the difference between the market price of your home and the balance on your mortgage. For example, if you bought your home for $200,000 with a $150,000 mortgage, but the house is now worth $300,000, you have $150,000 in home equity. Banks allow you to take a loan out against this equity should you need it, using your home (or more accurately, the equity in your home) as collateral. Two types of equity loans are available: home equity loan (HEL) and home equity line of credit (HELOC).
Home Equity Loan
HELs are also known as second mortgages. As the name implies, it is another mortgage taken out on the home but this time based not on the price of the home but the amount of equity the home has at the current market price. HELs are fixed-rate loans, meaning that interest is declared from the start and will remain unchanged through the life of the loan. Many HELs are 30-year loans, and the truth-in-lending disclosures will calculate payments much like a first mortgage. Bear in mind that you will have two payments for the house from the time you get a HEL.
Home Equity Line of Credit
A HELOC is similar in all ways to a HEL, except that the loan amount is extended to you as available credit. If you don't use a HELOC, there are no payments. The homeowner need only write a check to immediately access the available credit. HELOC also allows the homeowner to pay "interest only" during the life of the loan, thereby making payments significantly smaller. The principal will be due in full, however, when the loan is due. While this option may sound more reasonable, keep in mind that banks reserve the right to freeze your credit, decrease your balance or take away the HELOC at their discretion if your financial situation or credit reliability should change. HELOCs are good for smaller expenditures or emergency funds. If you need a large lump sum, HELs are most likely a better choice.
Both HEL and HELOC are secured by your most prized possession: your home. Neither loan is without risk, and both, if in default, will end up in the foreclosure of your home to pay the loans back. It's extremely important that when considering HEL or HELOC that the reason for the loan warrant the risk of your home. Remember, these are supplemental loans to your first mortgage; defaulting on the first or second mortgage (or HELOC) can result in the forced sale of your home.
How Much Can You Borrow?
For both HEL and HELOC, the method of calculating the amount you can borrow is the same. In the example of a house worth $300,000 with $150,000 equity, banks require that 20 percent of the house price must remain (in this case, $60,000). From the equity of $150,000, up to $90,000 can be made available to you in a loan or line of credit. Neither HEL nor HELOC requires that this full amount be applied for; you can request as little or as much of it as you need.
Tax Benefits
Both the HEL and HELOC have good tax benefits. Unlike other loans, the law allows you to deduct 100 percent of the interest on up to $1 million for home improvements or renovations. The same law allows you to deduct the interest on up to $100,000 when a homeowner taps into home equity for any purpose at all. College loans, car loans or any other type of extended credit do not offer these benefits. This can be a substantial cost savings over the term of the loan and makes HEL/HELOC worth considering in lieu of a standard loan where interest is rarely deductible.
Consider carefully why you need these loans. If the loans are to pay off high-interest credit card debt, this can be a risky move, regardless of the financial appeal it may have. While the money from HEL/HELOC can be used to pay off credit card debt, it is imperative that the cardholder not use the credit cards again or he may find himself in more debt than before with two payments to make on the home instead of one. Consult a tax professional to discuss the suitability of a HEL or HELOC in your situation.

The act of mass texting a generic message to members of the opposite sex in hopes that a guaranteed hookup for the night will be established. It often involves a very nonspecific message such as "What are you up to tonight?" or "Want to meet up later?" The key feature is the lack of personalization so that the same message can be sent to as many people as possible. This can also be applied to other contact means such as myspace, facebook or email.

Steamboat Springs Even when the offense is sputtering, the Steamboat Springs High School boys basketball team knows it always can rely on its defense.
It also helps when a team that's struggled as bad as Battle Mountain is the opposition.
The Sailors overcame a poor first quarter on Friday night to easily cruise past the Huskies, 46-23.
Steamboat limited Battle Mountain to 14 percent shooting (8 of 55) and created 19 turnovers in the win.
"Defensively, we did a good job," Steamboat coach Luke DeWolfe said. "We did a good job with a lot of the things we talked about in practice."
Early on, however, it looked like the Western Slope League opener would be a shootout. Despite four straight turnovers, the Sailors (4-5 overall, 1-0 in league play) jumped out to an 8-0 lead only to see that margin cut to 8-7 at the end of one quarter.
But with nerves out of the way, Steamboat began playing better. The Sailors limited the Huskies to a single point in the second quarter and held them without a field goal for more than 15 minutes through the second and third quarters.
By the time Battle Mountain's Parker Lathrop scored with 2:20 remaining in the third quarter, Steamboat had pushed its lead to 30-10.
"As it went on, we just got more comfortable," DeWolfe said. "We defended well and had a good game plan going into it. We knew they wanted to take it to the basket, and we defended that well."
Nelson Brassell led the Sailors with 13 points and nine rebounds. Charles Wood chipped in nine points, and Jack Spady scored eight.
Lathrop led Battle Mountain with five points while Miguel Copas and Mitch Cooley each scored four.
Battle Mountain continues league play today with Moffat County. Steamboat hosts Eagle Valley at 5:30 p.m. today.

Back in 2006, Andrew Miller, then a consultant for IBM Business Consulting Services, received an e-mail from his boss that would change everything. Strange, considering it was like so many others he had received over the years.
Although Mr. Miller technically lived in Toronto, his desk was in Winnipeg while he worked on a long-term project for a client. It was a typical work arrangement. For the six years he had been consulting, four of them had involved living out of suitcases. And now it seemed he was in for another extreme commute.
"The message said, 'We have a great project. We want you to work on it. It's going to be out West. We need you there for six to nine months, five days a week,'" Mr. Miller says now. "When I was 25 and single, that was a lot of fun. But I was 32, married and with a child on the way."
In other words, not exactly the perfect time to jump ship, leave the confines of a nine-to-five job, and hang out his own shingle. Yet for more than six months Mr. Miller had been considering leaving his job to work for himself, so the moment he received his manager's e-mail, he knew what he had to do.
"Once I sent the letter of resignation, there was a feeling of freedom. I felt it was just the right thing to do even though it wasn't like I had something else to fall back on," he says, admitting he had only about three or four months worth of living expenses saved up.
Still, it turned out it was the right choice. Now, six years, a new house and three kids later, Mr. Miller's own small consulting company, ACM Consulting Inc. in Toronto, is thriving. Within weeks of leaving his job to go solo, he landed a large health-care client in Toronto only 20 minutes away from where he lived with his wife, Eryn Miller, who was four months pregnant at the time and very supportive of his decision.
He hasn't looked back since. Today Mr. Miller helps clients such as the Bank of Nova Scotia, 3M Canada, Mount Sinai Hospital and Women's College Hospital improve their efficiency and communication. He has also written more than 100 articles and is a speaker.
In short, giving up a steady paycheque is the best thing he has ever done, he says.
"In my view and from where I sit now, there are no cons to running my own business. I can say that with zero hesitation," Mr. Miller says.
For starters, there's the sense of control he now has at work. Like other solo-preneurs, he is more in command over whom he works for and where that work takes place. Even what time it happens.
"My clients don't care if work is done at 10 o'clock in the morning or 9 o'clock at night. This business allows me to structure my day in a way that makes me most productive," he says. "And believe me, I'm not most productive when I'm sitting at my desk for 10 hours."
Although he admits it took more than a year to break the nine-to-five mindset, he has finally caught on and now might put in an hour of work at 5:30 a.m. before the kids wake up. Then he's able to spend a couple of hours with them before school.
The sense of control also comes into play in another way. He feels more accountable for business successes – and failures. "When something good happens at work it feels great. When something bad happens I know it's my fault and there's something I need to improve," he says.
Then there's the question of money, a common concern for most people who don't get a steady paycheque every two weeks. Rather than build up a large emergency fund that he can dip into when business slows, however, Mr. Miller uses another tactic: He gets on the phone and calls past clients or current ones. Seeing a dwindling bank account balance is the push he needs to put himself out there and do more business development.
What he doesn't do? Cold calls to strangers.
"Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, 'I'm going to hire a consultant today.' So 99 per cent of my business comes through referrals," he says.
He doesn't worry much about competition from larger firms, either. Although he's a one-man operation – and plans to stay that way – being small can be a good thing. He's able to work with a number of clients on smaller jobs rather than get sucked into a long-term, all-encompassing gig. He can also build his client relationships from the beginning rather than simply act as a consultant who comes in to execute the plan after another colleague strikes the deal.
"I'm not naive. Of course there are people who do similar things to what I do," he says. "But I don't feel like I'm competing with anyone because there's only one person in the world with my specific background and experience. And that's me."Report Typo/Error

CEOs Roll With the Punches, Plot Higher Profitability
In an exclusive roundtable, executives from four installing security contractors shed light on how their firms successfully navigated the recession to emerge primed for future growth. Find out how they adapted to changing market conditions, among other strategic moves.
By Rodney Bosch · January 1, 2013
Loud: For the traditional residential sales team, we created a MAC department in 2012, which is "move, add-on and conversion," where we're rolling a technician that is more like a salesperson so it's more of a one-call close. The person is doing anywhere from 30 to 40 systems a month or they are doing the sale add-ons, the Total Connect add-ons, the upgrades or a moving customer. That has been a unique opportunity for us. I don't think we would have guessed the numbers would have been as strong or as steady.
A unique niche for us is subdivisions, homeowners associations, and this is about managed access control. We go in there and you put access on the pool and the tennis court and clubhouse, and the bathroom sometimes. People don't pay their HOA dues, they can't go swimming, they can't use the tennis court, they can't use the facilities. All of a sudden they pay their dues. Here's what I love about the managed access control: First off, the system is profitable from the initial sale. Second, I have monitoring on it; we are going to monitor the burg combo type panel. Third, I am doing a maintenance plan and I'm doing management. Nobody on that board of directors wants to be the person to manage the system and add-delete, change cards and deal with all that.
Morris: We've tried to be creative and think outside the box more in 2012. Typically most of the answers are inside the box, but we look toward identifying markets or problems that aren't being addressed. We have found success in the HVAC industry. Vandalism and theft of HVAC units have been more in 2012 than any time I can remember. We started using The Whip [an air conditioner alarm device with integrated EOL resistors] and informing companies about how you conventionally protect an HVAC unit by building a cage around it or you can put a camera on it. That is what the majority of our competitors were doing or recommending. We found a niche market. We identified the problem and addressed it electronically and that has been very successful for us.
Also, Total Connect. I heard a dealer say [at the 2011 FAP event] that he made the decision to go 100% GSM. So I thought about that and I went home and went 100% GSM. We only do landline communications as an absolute last resort. As a result, our RMR has increased significantly along with our customers signing up for Total Connect services. That has been a very good business move for us. The exception to that is commercial fire; we still do landlines and we do some GSM.
Lindberg: Ditto to what David said. We have done a lot of HVAC protection. We looked at The Whip and actually went a little bit different direction. We went with tilt sensors and a local sounder outside because what we found was that if we did not scare the person away, the unit still got damaged. Once you lose pressure, it's already damaged. We installed a couple of The Whip devices, but the HVAC units were vandalized and damaged, and so the customer had to replace them anyway.
Hood: I'll keep the theme alive. We definitely have been expanding what we do outdoors and we are more on the video side of things. We embraced video analytics and outdoor video, trespass detection, maybe more aggressively than others did because we have a security guard and patrol service. We have quite a bit of business there so we are able to offer that response and get a little more creative. We have quite a big group of customers who are paying us to do video analytics-based alarm events, and we also use Videofied, which is the outdoor video motion detection.
Over the last few years we have invested in new automation at our central station, but really more importantly training our operators to be on the other end of that video stream. That has opened some doors for us. We are going to continue to invest in that. Sometimes it is protecting assets like HVAC, although I don't know that it is as big of a deal in the San Francisco Bay Area. For more general problems, oftentimes we would use our security guard and patrol service, which is an expensive way to address problems like loitering, vandalism and illegal dumping. Cameras aren't always a good solution because they are so passive and require quite an investment. So we have been doing this hybrid approach. It is an RMR-based sale, but we are often leasing the system, bundling it all as a package. We bring revenue in for our security guard business so they are not getting cannibalized in the process. We are actually opening more doors for them.
How did the recession force you to adapt? In what ways has it affected your 2013 strategies?
Loud: We went from a builder-focused business to completely reinventing ourselves probably two times in the process. The transformation, foremost, was getting into home shows. That sounds so simple and rudimentary. We talked to First Alert's DDG [Dealer Development Group] and Russ Ackerman at Certified Security and what he was doing, and we tweaked it to work for Loud Security. At our first show we signed 22 monitoring agreements. So then we got so involved in the community aspect and all the smaller shows from a branding standpoint. It became about penetration. One of the themes for us at that point was density per square mile.
We started to do some acquisitions in 2010. I'd been a debt-free company for 15 years. I went out to Jim Wooster's group [Alarm Financial Services Inc.] and got some financing for the first time ever and just started to look at opportunities. It wasn't until 2012 that we started to do some traditional marketing. I never had a traditional marketing budget. I had to create something. We revamped the Web site. We started some of the search engine optimization [SEO]. We did some TV for the first time ever. We cut a deal with Coca Cola for a 10-year contract to advertise on the back of their scoreboards at baseball parks. We have 50 scoreboards. We get to handpick them within our community; again, back to density per square mile.
It's been a big change. Now we just started doing some contracts with some builders where we won't be prewiring and we are doing the new technology, the wireless packages, instead of trying to beat ADT or Monitronics to the door .

There may not be a more outspoken critic of Michael Vick the football player than myself since his arrival in Philadelphia in 2009. It's got nothing to do with past criminal behavior – he paid his debt to society. In fact, I kind of like the reformed Mike. He strikes me as a thoughtful and dare I say genuine person. I simply don't think highly of his resume.
People often talk about Vick as if he's accomplished a lot in the NFL. They often wonder aloud on TV or radio if we'll ever see "the old Vick" from his Atlanta days, as if that one-read-and-take-off style made him a good player. Sure, the Falcons got a couple trips to the playoffs out of it, and Vick frequently made highlight reels, but he never grew as a quarterback during his six seasons there. People forget he might have been on his last leg in ATL anyway before it abruptly came to an end.
Then Vick joined the Eagles and ascended to franchise quarterback in about one year's time. He was definitely a different player, actually trying to run an offense for probably the first time in his life. They smoked a few bad teams, and Vick's flaws went overlooked for a month or two before the most predictable thing ever happened. Right as he was winning over some of his biggest detractors, defenses started catching up with him again.
2010 was not as great as people remember. That's not to say Vick's Comeback Player of the Year award wasn't warranted. There were just so many times the season could have gone wrong earlier than it did. It could have been Week 2 when Detroit was blitzing the hell out of Vick in his first start, but the defense couldn't capitalize on his mistakes and the Birds snuck out of there with a win. It could have been the night of the Miracle at the New Meadowlands, where Vick was about as bad as bad can be for 52 minutes before suddenly becoming Superman.
Eventually his luck did turn though, and glaring imperfections caught up with him much as defenses did. The Vikings embarrassed the Eagles on a Tuesday night in what was a clueless performance by Vick, and two weeks later he was heaving the decisive interception in a first-round playoff game at home. Since then, it's been nothing but a cocktail of soul-crushing turnovers and devastating injuries.
Hey, don't take my word for it. The numbers speak for themselves: a 56.3 completion percentage; 177 touchdowns to 121 turnovers (run/pass); a pedestrian 80.6 passer rating; an 8.6 sack percentage, which ranks 153 out of 196 all-time among qualifying players; appeared in 16 games only once; has just two playoff wins. Take those over a 10-year career, and they're not very good. Kind of makes four trips to the Pro Bowl ring hollow, and if it was any player besides Vick, you'd be wondering how they still have a starting job in the league.
Yet here we are again. Vick will be the Eagles' starter this season, and just like I had to come to terms with it in 2010, when I knew it ultimately wouldn't work out, I have to come to terms with it now.
One way it's different this time around is at least I agree he should be starting. Holding an open competition at the position was the right thing to do, and he won fair and square. It's not like when Kevin Kolb was groomed to take over, was shuffled in and out of the lineup for two quarters until he got concussed, and then was replaced. (Why did they ever trade Donovan McNabb in the first place if they were going to do that?) Vick legit earned this.
It's still difficult not to associate No. 7 with failure though. 30 preseason snaps no matter how awesome doesn't change the fact that for 10 years this has been the type of quarterback who will always choose to freelance rather than play within the offense. He holds on to the ball far too long, gives it to the other team, then goes down with an injury once the season has already spiraled out of control. Why should we believe anything else will happen now?
Maybe you believe he is a fit for Chip Kelly's offense, which promises to make the most of Vick's athletic ability, while perhaps also simplifying the decision making. Maybe it's because he's in the best shape of his life, or that he was able to rekindle his passion for the game. Maybe a quarterback just can't fail in Kelly's system – it's not like Nick Foles had any trouble moving the offense. Or maybe you along with many others will choose not to believe this story plays out it any manner other than the same as it always has until Vick proves unmistakably otherwise.
I can't tell anyone how they should feel, because I'm undecided myself. I figured if accuracy and decision making and protecting the football were all virtues, Vick would lose an honest quarterback competition almost anywhere, probably would have a long time ago. But he didn't, and I saw that with my own eyes. To top it all off, what he managed to showcase in two preseason games was nothing short of tantalizing. It was almost like a movie trailer for a comedy where I know they showed me all of the funny parts, but I kind of still want to see it anyway.
With Vick it's never been a question of talent, he's just never been able to play the position the way the NFL demands. Of course, Chip Kelly might be on the verge of bucking a lot of league trends this season, so maybe he can with Vick, too.
There's no denying Vick has evolved. He's a leader now, not just in the sense that he was in Atlanta where he was a celebrity and guys looked up to him. He's an inspirational leader, a dedicated worker and teammate, a locker-room guy, a tone-setter – somebody who demonstrated change is possible both on and off the field. But if he's going to find success again or ever eclipse the somewhat modest accolades compared to his star, he will have to continue evolving.
If he can do this Chip's way, Vick has a chance to be the best he's ever been. Yeah, for the very first time I honestly believe that. And I'll clutch that belief firmly while I once again prepare for the worst if you don't mind.

Be sure to have updated your Rovio firmware and are running at or above firmware 5.03 (stable) if you find any issues between the RoboRealm module and the
Rovio. For example, if your video has more than 1 second lag between the actual time and the time the image
is displayed or if you lose connection with the Rovio after 60 seconds be sure to update the firmware. You can
download the lastest version which includes these fixes from RoboCommunity which used to be online
at http://www.robocommunity.com/download/15224/Rovio-firmware-UI-v5.00b10-Beta/
1. IP Address - specify the ip address of the Rovio. This can be determined by using
the default address or by checking your wireless router to see what IP address has
been assigned to the Rovio robot.
2. Username / Password - specify the username and password for the Rovio.
3. Connect - press the connect button to connect to the Rovio and start streaming video.
4. Manual Move - to test the motors on the Rovio you can use the Manual move buttons to
move the robot in the specified direction. Note that the robot will continue to move for
as long as the buttons are pressed. The middle button stops the robot.
5. Speed - to make the robot move quicker when using the manual move buttons you can select
a faster speed. Note this speed adjustment are just used for the manual move buttons.
6. Video - to change the video parameters select the appropriate dropdown box. There will be a slight
pause as the robot updates its internal parameters before video resumes. Changing Resolution will
change the image size streamed from the robot. Quality will change the compression rate of the video being
sent. Low will produce high compression resulting in a small video size, High will induce very
light compression and therefore high bandwidth requirements but with high quality images. Framerate
determines the maximum number of images that are send each second. Brightness effects the
lighting level of the camera. Note that this parameter is set to the maximum setting. The image
will appear dark in an evening type of setting. We recommend you use the robot in a high lighting
7. Enhance - To help reduce the lighting issues you can ensure that the Enhance checkbox is selected which
will attempt to realign the image colors and intensity in order to create a more pleasing image. This will
not affect images with good lighting but should substantially improve those with bad.
8. Movement Variable - you can select
a variable that contains one of the command numbers that will cause the robot to move
in the specified manner. Note that this also includes the value to move the camera head up and down.
9. Variables - shows the different numbers being read from the robot. The Tick variables are from
the wheel encoders and indicate how much a wheel has turned. Radar is the value of the IR obstacle
detection (0 = no object, 1 = object). Charging indicates if the robot is being charged (i.e. it is docked).
X, Y, and theta reflect the robots location within a room where the overhead beacon can be seen.
Note that the values will fluctuate even when standing still.
10. Sound - To test the audio playback on the Rovio select on the RTTTL songs and press the play button.
The song will then play on the Rovio. To programmatically play a song select a variable that will
contain the name of the song to play. Be sure to only specify this once otherwise the songs will
overlap on each other (not a great audio experience!).
You can
adjust the volume of the sound by adjusting the slider bar left to lower the volume and
right to increase it. If you want to add songs you can edit the music.rtttl file in the
RoboRealm installation folder and add in your own ringtone songs or sounds.
11. Battery - The battery level is indicated by the progress bar below and the actual
current value. To programmatically react to the battery value select a variable that
will contain the battery value.
12. Other - To dock or set the new home position press on the appropriate button. To programmatically
dock or set the home position select a variable that would contain either "dock" or "set home" (without the quotes)
that would indicate what action the robot should perform.
13. Head Position - To move the camera head into a different position select
one of the appropriate radio buttons.
14. Light - you can test the main Rovio light by pressing the Test button. If you want
to control the light via a variable (zero or non-zero value) select that variable in the
provided dropdown.
ROVIO_REAR_TICK - rear wheel encoder value
ROVIO_LEFT_RICK - left wheel encoder value
ROVIO_RIGHT_TICK - right wheel encoder value
ROVIO_RADAR - indicates an obstacle in front of the
robot (1) or not (0)
ROVIO_X_POSITION - the X position in the room based
on the overhead IR pattern
ROVIO_Y_POSITION - the Y position in the room based
on the overhead IR pattern
ROVIO_THETA - the orientation of the robot based
on the overhead IR pattern
