Baseball Finishes Off Sweep of South Carolina
The sweep moved 21st-ranked UK into a first-place tie in the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division. Kentucky (30-10, 11-7) joined the South Carolina (30-11, 11-7) atop the division with four series remaning. The Gamecocks entered the weekend in sole possession of first place.
It is the first time Kentucky has swept a ranked opponent since taking three from No. 5 LSU at home in 1991.
The Wildcats also won their 30th game of the season, marking the first 30-win season in six years and the 11th in school history. By reaching the milestone in its 40th game, UK matched the 1991 team for the quickest team to 30 wins.
Sunday?s offensive outburst pushed Kentucky?s weekend run total to 37 runs in three games. That number comes against a USC team that entered the weekend ranked 14th in the nation in earned-run average. The Wildcats pounded out a astonishing 15 extra-base hits in the weekend, including five by second baseman John Shelby.
The run total, reached by scoring 10 on Friday, 15 on Saturday and 12 on Sunday, is the most for Kentucky in an SEC series since hanging 37 on the Gamecocks in a 1995 series victory.
Early in Sunday?s game, it seemed as thought USC would avoid the sweep. South Carolina jumped out 6-0 lead through the top half of the fourth inning.
However, the UK bats woke up and cranked out all 12 runs over the next three frames to make it 12-7 after six.
After Kentucky managed just one hit in the first three innings, Ryan Strieby got the offense going with a solo home run to lead off the fourth. Michael Bertram followed with a walk and Shelby made it 6-3 with a two-run shot to right-center field. It was the second home run for both in the series.
The Wildcats plated four of their five fifth-inning runs with two outs. Strieby drew a one-out walk and came around on a Bertram double. An out later, Billy Grace walked and Ryan Wilkes laced an RBI single to cut the deficit to one. Shaun Lehmann then blasted a three-run homer to left to give UK the lead for good, 8-6. Bertram?s double extended his hitting streak to 10 games.
The big fifth inning allowed starter Greg Dombrowski to earn the win. He worked the first five innings, allowing six runs on nine hits. The win moved him to 7-1 this season, which is tied for the most wins by a UK pitcher since 1997. He is now 9-1 in his career.
Kyle Brown took the loss in relief for USC after allowing five runs in a single inning. Starter Harris Honeycutt did not factor in the decision, going four innings and getting tagged for three runs on four hits. He walked three and fanned five.
South Carolina pushed one run across in the sixth before Kentucky lit up the scoreboard for four more. Strieby and Wilkes had RBI singles sandwiched around an RBI double by Shelby. Another runner scored via a Gamecock error.
Shelby, Wilkes, Lehmann and Strieby each finished with two hits. Shelby?s both went for extra bases and he wrapped up the weekend by hitting .462 and slugging 1.154.
Andrew Crisp hit a two-run homer off reliever Troy Ragle, who was pitching for the second straight day, in the eighth for the final margin. Andrew Albers came in for Kentucky and pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his first save of the season.

Beautiful collection. I wondered whether you purchased the blued GP100 or the stainless -now I know! Love the square-backed trigger guard on the Blackhawk. Mine has the rounded one but the square is very distinctive. Mine also has a fluted cylinder -yours is more like the traditional B.H.. Sweet pearlized grips too.
If I were you, I'd keep the Texan. Some guns are just fun to own and this one might be missed if you part ways too soon. Just a thought.
Somebody -is this Blackhawk a coveted older three-screw model?

To conduct experiments, researchers can change a variable in an organism and watch the results unfold. But life is messy, and it's difficult to understand the underlying processes that explain the data. Digitizing the process could help, and now we're starting small: researchers have successfully made a computer model of Mycoplasma genitalium, the world's tiniest free-living bacterium.

Freestyle, originally a mixture of Alpine skiing and acrobatics, developed in the United States in the 1960s. The first official competition was held in Attitash, New Hampshire, in 1966. The International Ski Federation recognised the sport in 1979 and the following year a World Cup series was organised. The first world championships were held in Tignes, France, in 1986.
Three freestyle skiing disciplines -- moguls, aerials and ballet -- were included as demonstration events in the 1988 Calgary Olympics. Moguls became a medals sport at the 1992 Games and aerials achieved the same status in 1994 but ballet is not part of the Olympics. Ski-cross debuts as a medals sport in Vancouver.
Men and women compete in moguls, aerials and ski-cross.
In moguls, skiers race down a slope over large, uniform bumps called moguls, from an Austrian dialect word for mound. The length of the run is between 230 and 270 metres with moguls up to 1.2 metres high. The course also has two jumps and skiers must perform aerial manoeuvres which are judged for height, distance, landing, execution and degree of difficulty. Jumps have colourful names such as backscratcher, helicopter, daffy and mule kick.
Turns account for 50 percent of the marks, jumps for 25 percent. The remaining 25 percent is based on each skier's time. Moguls competitions are accompanied by loud music, usually chosen by the skier.
The 20 best competitors from an elimination round go into the final.
In aerials, competitors perform combinations of flips and twists off snow-packed jumps as high as four metres. Skiers often fly 18 metres above the ground. A panel of judges score the competitors for height and distance, worth 20 percent of the marks, execution and precision -- worth 50 percent -- and landing, worth 30 percent. The landing area is covered in soft snow to absorb the impact of dropping from a height equivalent to a three-storey building.
Sixteen competitors advance to the final after a two-jump elimination round. Each takes two jumps in the final. Scores from the elimination round are not carried forward to the final.
Ski-cross is the newest freestyle event to be included in the Games. Four skiers start off side-by-side and race down a course that includes turns, rolls and banks like those on a regular ski slope and structures such as jumps usually found in snowboard cross events. The event requires physical endurance and strength as skiers have to ski up to five runs lasting 60 seconds or longer to win.
A timed qualification run is used to seed skiers into different heats, each with four competitors. The first two competitors to cross the finish line in each round advance to the next stage.
Men's moguls: Dale Begg-Smith (Australia)
Men's aerials: Xiaopeng Han (China)
Women's moguls: Jennifer Heil (Canada)
Women's aerials: Evelyne Leu (Switzerland)
Cypress Mountain in West Vancouver. Venue capacity is 12,000 spectators. Unseasonably warm weather last month melted the snow at the venue and organisers have had to bring in snow from higher elevations to replace it.
Defending Olympic champion Jennifer Heil hopes for a repeat in Vancouver to erase the label the Canadians have of being the only host country never to have won an Olympic gold on home soil.
The debut of ski-cross should add even more excitement to freestyle skiing and attract an X Games crowd to watch the mass-start event that promises speed and potential for some spectacular crashes.

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
If your child or teen has been diagnosed with kyphosis (also known as hyper-kyphosis), we know that you and your family are concerned. At Boston Children's Hospital, we'll approach your child's treatment with sensitivity and support—for your child and your whole family.
Whether your child's condition is mild or more severe, you can have peace of mind knowing that the team in Boston Children's Spinal Program has treated a large volume of spinal problems that few pediatric hospitals have ever seen—and we can provide expert diagnosis, treatment and care.
Made up of many individual bones called vertebrae, the spine is joined together by muscles and ligaments. Flat, soft discs separate and cushion each vertebra from the next. Because the vertebrae are separate, the spine is flexible and can bend. Together the vertebrae, discs, muscles and ligaments make up the vertebral column or spine.
Different regions of the spine are named differently. The cervical spine refers to the neck region, the thoracic spine to the chest region (where kyphosis occurs), and the lumbar and sacral spines to the lower back region.
Some degree of kyphosis — a forward curve in the upper spine—is a normal shape. In fact, the normal spine can bend from 20 to 45 degrees of curvature in the upper back (thoracic) area—an acceptable range.
But if your child's curvature reaches 50 degrees or greater, it's considered abnormal kyphosis—a forward curvature of the back bones (vertebrae) in the upper back area, giving your child an abnormally rounded or "humpback" appearance. Kyphosis is more common in girls than in boys and most cases are mild and require only close monitoring by a doctor until the child has stopped growing.
The normal spine is strong and mobile. While it varies in size and shape from person to person, the healthy spine has natural front-to-back curves that enable us to walk, balance, sit, stand and twist—all of which are complex interactive movements. When these natural front-to-back curves become too large, they can present problems:
• When the forward curve in the thoracic spine is too great, the condition is called kyphosis (hyper-kyphosis,
thoracic hyper-kyphosis, "round back").
• When the inward curve in the lower back is too great, the condition is called hyper-lordosis ("swayback").
Congenital kyphosis is present at birth, but may not be apparent until later. Consult your pediatrician if your child is developing a rounded upper back, and/or if your family has a history of spinal problems.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

So today's Memorial Day and we're supposed to remember all the people who lost their lives fighting for our freedom. Which is kind of what we do on Veteran's Day, but not quite the same. Given that we have two of these days yearly (but only one is a "national holiday" meaning banks and schools are closed and there's no mail) and the current national landscape of being in two wars that we're not really winning or losing, it's tough to get excited about today.
I did manage to achieve something today (well, actually late yesterday). I put up the photo album of the "Lord of the Rings" swords. There are some full length photos, as well as some closeups. Obviously the flash becomes an issue when taking pictures of a reflective metal surface, but you get the idea. I'm going to take some pictures of my living area today and get those up as well. Eventually, I'll have a whole "Photo Gallery" section up, though that could take months at the pace I'm going.
Phil called me up earlier this morning and we're going to go out for lunch later. I haven't seen him in awhile, so it should be fun. As for my plans for the rest of the week, obviously I'm going to the DMV tomorrow to get my license replaced, then after that I'll probably go to Borders to start writing. Hopefully I can bang out the final couple chapters in just a couple days, and then spend the rest of the week just chilling.
Oh, and I feel obligated to mention that I got around to installing the 10.3.4 update on all my computers and aside from my iBook everything went smooth. On my Cube, Bluetooth connectivity seems to be a little better, with my keyboard and mouse staying connected without issue for much longer.

ZEPHYRHILLS — At last week's district tournament, Zephyrhills junior Sarah Vande Berg faced little resistance in capturing her second straight individual singles title.
Vande Berg, the tournament's top seed, waltzed into the championship match at No. 1 singles. She smoothly dispatched Land O'Lakes' Wenyi Gu in an efficient 6-1, 6-1 performance in the final.
The district tournament was merely a warmup for Vande Berg. The state tennis finals, though, are where the real competition begins.
Vande Berg knows through experience the dramatic jump in skill level at state. Last year, she won the Class 2A, District 6 title but was ousted in the state tournament's first round by Suwanee's Sydnie Sine 7-5, 6-4.
"It's definitely better competition there," Vande Berg said. "These girls at state are playing a lot of tennis year-round."
But so is Vande Berg.
The junior trains every day. Three times a week, she visits her coach for two hours a session. On days she doesn't practice with her coach, she works out on her own to improve her serve and fitness or hits with her father. On the weekends, she's usually at a nearby USTA junior tournament.
"I think I'm a lot different from most high school players," she said. "I play tennis year-round. I'm not a seasonal player. I want to go to college for tennis. I play all the time. It's my life."
Zephyrhills girls coach Lorraine Hinkle believes that the constant court time will help Vande Berg last a little longer this go-round at states.
"I think last year was a really great experience for her," Hinkle said. "She didn't really know what she would be up against. I think this year she's ready."
Since last season, Vande Berg, a baseliner with a consistent serve and a powerful backhand, has gotten more consistency from her groundstrokes. That helped her run through the regular season with only one defeat, a three-set loss to River Ridge's Tijana Subotic.
Vande Berg also qualified for states in doubles with partner Sydney Owens after winning in straight sets in the district No. 1 doubles final. Last year, Vande Berg and teammate Chelsea Smith earned a spot in the state tournament draw and won a match before bowing out in the semifinals.
"I definitely just want to try to make it further than I did last year," Vande Berg said. "It was a close match, my singles match that I lost. Even if I just win one more match, that's what I'm hoping for."
Vande Berg has been training every day since last season's loss for the upcoming challenge. Whatever the outcome, Vande Berg won't be caught off guard by the quality of the opposition.
"I'm prepared mentally," she said.

Nature Coast boys (Class 2A): Third time's a charm for Nature Coast, which reached regionals each of the past three seasons but finally break through this year with a state appearance. Tyler Schwefringhaus (1), David Cross (2), Andrew Lund (3), Zenon Kouts (4) and Josh Weaver (5) make up the Sharks' lineup.
Colin Roller, Land O'Lakes (Class 2A): The junior has something to prove in his third state appearance after going winless as a freshman and sophomore.
Roller/Harrison Luong, Land O'Lakes (Class 2A): Roller and Luong were straight-sets winners over Wesley Chapel's Cameron Roth and Diego Armas in the district final.
Tijana Subotic, River Ridge (Class 3A): Subotic won her first district title in singles by upending Wiregrass Ranch's Hannah Still to earn the automatic trip to state.
Subotic/Jordyn Garcia, River Ridge (Class 3A): Subotic is in the individual doubles state draw for the third time in four seasons. As a sophomore, Subotic and partner Nicola Wellman won three matches to make it to the individual final. Garcia, also a senior, is making her first state appearance.

Hi Sheff. The car looks good. Seems that its under construction. Is it so ? As it is multi colored, so I guess this is a sort of rally car. I also would like to ask regarding its multi colored feature that does it comes like this or have you done it by your own ? If you did it by yourself, then which sort of colors did you used for this purpose ?

Suspect in killing of Va. Muslim teen had been accused of assaulting...
Darwin Martinez Torres, 22, of Sterling, has been charged with murder in the death of Nabra Hassanen, 17. A week before Darwin Martinez Torres was arrested for allegedly abducting and killing a Muslim teenager near a Virginia mosque, a woman arrived at a hospital emergency room and reported that a man - later identified as Martinez Torres - had punched, choked and sexually assaulted her and was a member of the MS-13 street gang, according to two people familiar with the woman's account. The acts allegedly occurred in the presence of a young child, which prompted a call to Loudoun County's Child Protective Services agency, which in turn filed a report with the county sheriff, the two people said.

Joint custody
I wanted to get some thoughts about my situation...
I have two german shepherds that I got with an ex of mine just over two years ago. We split up and he move out only 3 months after we got our puppies Kyra and Kolby. I've kept them and their "Dad" came by every once in while but for almost a year and a half I was the only one caring for them and he very rarely came around. Anyways, they recognize his voice on the phone and always get exited to see him and a couple months ago my living situation changed and they moved in with him for about a month, I visited almost every day. They are back with me and he still visits occasionally and will come take them for walks.
I'm just curious if any one shares custody of their dogs with exes and how you think it effects the dogs??
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
I have never been in this situation. IMO, I don't see where it hurts anything as long as the dogs are happy and healthy. I would say as long as you and the Ex are happy with the joint custody then good for everyone involved and the dogs.
Doggie's need their daddy too.
I admire that both of you make it work the way you do. If I was to guess, I would say it doesn't affect them. They're probably happy that they still get both of you.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
I think its great that you guys are able to do that . I don't think it can hurt the dogs, they probably love it.

1. Leo Fender, inventor of the Telecaster and Stratocaster, couldn't play guitar.
Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing made the first mass-produced electric guitar in 1950, but the inventor of the Telecaster didn't actually know how to play it. Leo Fender was an engineer by trade, whose early career was focused on radio repair and amplification systems. Reddit users discussed a dubious source of this claim, but Fender's own website confirms that "Ironically, the shy, somewhat introverted inventor wasn't a guitar player."

Blue Moon (Anita Blake Vampire Hunter) (edition 2000)
by Laurell K. Hamilton
Work details
Blue Moon by Laurell K. Hamilton
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In keeping with her naming her books after places, L.K. Hamilton's novel, Blue Moon, has several connotations. One, it's a place. Blue Moon is a camping area that people come to play or in this case people come to die. Blue Moon is like the old jazz song, "You left me standing alo ho hone..." And thirdly, Blue Moon is rare - a full moon twice in a thirty day period - which can spell havoc for werewolves, who are drawn to the lunar light and have a nasty habit of getting hairy at the drop of a paw.
In the previous book Anita broke up with Richard when she freaked out at the site of him changing into a werewolf and then eating his enemy. Yuk. In this book, Anita is walking down a dark path of death and destruction. She finds it easier to kill. She gets creative in creating trouble for her wolfpack. Her were-leopard friends are becoming more touch-friendly and she is playing with fire when it comes to handling Nyer and his wish for the Spear of Christ, an artifact that was supposedly the spear that went through Christ at the Crucifixion 2000 years ago.
The book is troubling for several reasons: Anita is even more moral-less than in past novels. She does not hesitate to shoot to kill. In one scene, she tortures a guy to tell her where some kidnap victims are, and then shoots him in the head to shut him up! Morals? What?
She meets another necromancer, a psychic and a killer, not in that order. There is also Colin the vampire that they make a big deal out of. Colin does not want Anita in his territory. That part of the story builds well but is over by the halfway point, sadly. No real development of that aspect.
Hamilton really gets into the Richard/Jean Claude/Anita triumvirate and we discover the true intentions of Jean Claude's apparent magnanimous gesture in letting Anita have sex with Richard, not as graphic as it could have been.
Hamilton wears me down with the same old actions over and over - sudden ring - "Jumpy, who me?" about five times in each novel. Annoying.
Marianne is the only stable character in the mess. She's some kind of witch or clairvoyant, who uses her positive energy in the same way Anita uses her negative energy. Calling her "child" and understanding Anita's churning mental state, she guides Anita to a more manageable character. Hope to see more of her in the next book.
Bad cops, some aspects of Dolph open up, but basically a Claude-less book, which is fine with me. Really hoping Obsidian Butterfly gives a return to the vampire killer I used to know in Guilty Pleasures.
Really, really good. For the first half of the book I was expecting my review of this book to be "Everyone wants to screw Anita. Literally AND figuratively." But it was much more than that. Even the grating "Richard is angry" stuff only lasted a few chapters. Anita learns new powers and flexes her supernatural abilities to kick lots of ass. More and more its becoming clear that to go up against her is suicide.
Anita, Richard Zeeman, (an alpha werewolf and her old boyfriend), and Jean-Claude, (her present lover), had formed a Triumvirate of power - Master Vampire, Ulfric and necromancer. In other words, when the three connect, they exude tremendous force and are able to do much more magic than any one or two can do alone. The three are still bound to each other, even though Richard is furious with Anita for dumping him. She had to choose between "a flesh eater and a bloodsucker." Do you see a pattern here?
Late one evening Anita receives a phone call from Richard's brother. Zeeman had been spending the summer in Meyerton, Tennessee, studying the Lesser Smokey Mountain Trolls which live in the area, and fulfilling the requirements for his Masters degree. He has been arrested for the rape of a local women, and is obviously innocent of the charge. Richard is squeaky clean, the ultimate Boy Scout, and very gentle, especially for a lycanthrope. To make the situation worse, a full moon will occur in five days. As luck would have it, this month, August, is a blue moon month - that means two full moons in 31 days - a phenomenon which arises every 3-4 years. And we all know what happens to werewolves during a full moon, don't we?
These are no longer simply vampire adventure. The sexual theme that has previously created some interesting character dynamics has suddenly become a strong, primary focus. The book is ostensibly about Anita coming to the rescue of Richard, her werewolf more-than-friend, but it is much more about Anita's changing sexuality. This is quite intense, and really makes this book into a kind of tough girl's romance story. There's nothing wrong with that, just not what I expected. **Be warned that the sex is getting more kinky and more graphic.**
If you are considering trying this out as your first Hamilton novel, get some of the earlier volumes and read those first. Hamilton starts right in the action, and too many of the references will be confusing without some background. Romance fanatics and those who are not put off by a lot of sexuality will no doubt love this book. Those who are a bit more timid and just wanted a great vampire/monster novel need to approach "Blue Moon" with more cautious expectations.
*spoilers* Hmmm...not sure where to start. I love Jason! He's a great character and can always lighten the mood when it gets too tense. I'm so glad that Anita and Richard finally did it lol. That tension was just getting to be exhausting. Nathaniel is a little better but his submissiveness is tiring not to mention all that pouting just because Anita won't sleep with him. I thought the final show down was a little weak with all the build up, but the scene at the Lupanar was spectacular! Anita's power always makes me a little giddy when she gets to show it off a bit. I'm wondering where this whole thing with Damian is going to go and I must say I'm a little worried. Does any guy in this series not want to sleep with Anita?? Then ending threw me a little. I get that she needed a break, but she isn't Lupa anymore? I'm just wondering how this one will play out. Well I guess I'll just have to dive into the next one :D
I can't believe all the trouble Richard gets into, he's such a boy scout. Maybe that's why he gets into so much trouble. I'm glad Anita rides to his rescue and meets a healthy group of shapeshifters as well, she needs to get over her touch issues and I'm sure that this book helps greatly with that problem. That Wilkes fellow, the dirty cop, should be shot, I don't remember what happens to him but before he sinks any deeper that is the hole of corruption something definitely should happen to him. I also feel bad for Nathaniel in this book, although he gets a triumph in getting Anita to admit to some things, he gets hurt twice and nearly dies. Pom de Sange-like people shouldn't be treated with such disrespect but I understand why he is hurt that way. Nathaniel is a good boy. . . a good boy.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0515134457, Mass Market Paperback)Anita Blake makes a living raising the dead. She also executes rogue vampires and villains among the local were-folk. Marks bind her to Jean-Claude, the Master vampire of St. Louis and her lover, and to her ex-fiancé, a powerful werewolf who heads up the local pack. Anita shares some of their magic, and her own power over the dead keeps growing. But so does the body count and the situations that force Anita to bend or break her own rules.
In Blue Moon, Anita's ex Richard is jailed in Tennessee, accused of rape. When Anita arrives with a lawyer and an entourage of vampires and 'weres' supplied by Jean-Claude, it's clear that something is rotten in Myerton. The local cops are corrupt, and the trolls Richard was studying are threatened. But if she sticks around to investigate, the local Master vampire will attack her and her friends. The local werewolf clan isn't rushing to welcome her either, and her self-control is going to the, um, wolves.
Blue Moon is the eighth book in Hamilton's Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series; newcomers should start with earlier books. The protagonists' development and their relationships to each other and to the large cast of continuing secondary characters are what make these books so compelling. Be warned--there's steamy sex and graphic violence here, though Anita does reflect on her moral position. But if dark urban fantasy featuring those who hunt the night appeals, pounce on this series. --Nona Vero
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:17:26 -0400)
It's up to Anita to prove Richard's innocence when he is jailed on assault charges, but in doing so she pits herself against corrupt cops and the Master Vampire, Jean-Claude, who threatens her and her friends.

I care passionately about the education of our children, and I truly believe that they are the future of our state.
I believe in accountability for our schools and for our teachers, and that good teachers should be rewarded for the progress that their students make. I also believe that those who teach at our inner-city schools and inspire children to learn and succeed every day deserve to be rewarded. In addition, it is imperative that we prepare our children for a competitive global marketplace by encouraging children to go into the fields of math and science, and to participate in higher education.
School choice and virtual charter schools are another vital aspect of education reform. They provide children and their families with valuable options, and also expand the opportunities for home-schooled students to enroll in the state-financed virtual programs.
When I served as Speaker of the House in 1999, I worked hand-in-hand with Governor Jeb Bush on education reform, and we achieved the single-largest increase in funding for public education in our state's history, a fact that I am deeply proud of. Now, I will fight to ensure that those education dollars are spent inside the classroom, where they are most needed.
The path to prosperity in our district and state is built on a solid education, and as a Senator I will make certain that our children's education is my top priority.

Patrick Swayze made peace with death, memoir shows
By Alex Dobuzinskis
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Patrick Swayze made peace with the notion of dying from pancreatic cancer after initially finding his diagnosis a "cruel joke," according to a memoir to be published later this month.
The "Dirty Dancing" star, 57, who lost his 20-month battle against the disease on Monday, wrote that fighting his cancer had been an "emotional rollercoaster".
But in excerpts of the memoir "The Time of My Life", released on Wednesday, he wrote later; "I began thinking to myself, I've had more lifetimes than any 10 people put together, and it's been an amazing ride. So this is okay."
The book, which Swayze co-wrote with his wife of 34 years, Lisa Niemi, will be published on September 29. Excerpts were released to People magazine and NBC News.
Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which has only a 5 percent, five-year survival rate, in January 2008.
"I had been excited about the upswing my life was on," Swayze wrote. "Now it all seemed like a cruel joke. I couldn't be dying -- I had too much to live for!"
While undergoing chemotherapy, Swayze filmed a new TV police drama series called "The Beast," which was broadcast in the United States earlier this year.
"There are days when I feel determined to live until a cure is found, and truly believe I can do it," he wrote. "And there are days when I'm so tired, I just don't know how I can keep on going." Continued...

European Factors to Watch-Equity futures rise
* Updates futures prices, adds company news items
LONDON Feb 1 (Reuters) - European equity futures rose on Monday, buoyed by gains in most Asian markets although further signs of economic weakness in China and a fall in oil prices were set to keep markets under pressure.
Futures for the Euro STOXX 50, Germany's DAX, France's CAC and Britain's FTSE were all up by 0.1-0.5 percent.
Asian stocks started a new month on a cautious note on Monday, with the Bank of Japan's surprise policy easing sparking some buying, although Chinese shares fell.
Chinese shares stumbled lower on Monday after an official measure of activity in the giant factory sector fell to its lowest since mid-2012, offering no respite from the economic drift that has dogged markets for months.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index rose 2.3 percent on Friday but fell by some 6 percent over the course of January - its worst monthly drop at the start of a year since 2008.
The banking sector could be in focus after Barclays and Credit Suisse settled U.S. federal and state charges that they misled investors in their dark pools, while Banco Popolare said on Saturday it expected to agree a merger with Banca Popolare di Milano within a month.

It is surprisingly light (weightless) and it turns out i prefer something heavier. One thing I did enjoy was the tingling sensation that dr.miracle is known for. I have a very sensitive scalp, and this cream feels good. I was happy to see an old school company modernize it's products. Overall, not the best moisturizer for me, but great for my scalp.

It's time for Mountain View to listen up & get over their control freakery
This is the first of a three-part series on Google Plus. Also see:
• Why Google Plus is more like a forum than a social network
• Why Google Plus is the antisocial network
Target audience: Marketing professionals, SEO specialists, PR pros, brand managers, businesses, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, educators, Web publishers, journalists.
Ihave been covering Google Plus since its inception three years ago. In that time, I have been a fan, a proponent, a critic, a skeptic, and conspiracy theorist.
If you don't want to read a long article then here's the short version of my analysis of Google's latest in a series of failed social networking services: Google is trying to building a city in the middle of nowhere, where nobody cares to live, and doesn't much care why almost nobody actually wants to live there.
It feels to me like a very rich, very opinionated Google has decided what the right way to do social media is and they're going to implement this utopian vision whether or not anyone else is interested in joining — or attending — their Church of Plus.
Google+ exists as a bait-and-switch honey pot
Before I go into G+ as a social network or social media platform, let me remind you that not even Google calls G+ a social network, it calls it a "social layer" and an "authorship tool." Google isn't trying to draw us out of our shells, it's trying to identify us. The only reason why Google+ exists is as a bait-and-switch trap — a honey pot — to draw the makers of online content into the clear in order to associate them with their web content and then put a Real Name with a face as a Turing Test of sorts, as a way to separate the men from the bots.
Up until Google search started cleaning up Search Dodge of all of the spam, the shysters, the fraudster, the Black Hats, all you needed were mad linking and backlinking skills. It wasn't hard to dupe Google into putting you or you clients onto the first page of Google if you had enough money, resources, time, and a flexible enough morality. This isn't about a social network in the same way that research on mice isn't about the mazes.
The mazes serve a purpose in the research of rodents, but the purpose transcends the maze; the purpose of G+ has nothing to do with creating a lovely virtual commons where cool post-Twitter and post-Facebook techies and hipsters can hang out, it's a mad olly olly oxen free. It's all about flushing the grouse, getting all of the anonymous content creators to reveal themselves, to come in from the cold, to associate a real name and identity with videos on YouTube, articles in the Blogosphere, columns in online publications, etc.
In the past, it wasn't hard to just create a Gmail, Yahoo, Me, Hotmail account and sign up for YouTube, retaining certain level of anonymity. Same thing with Blogger and blogs, social networks, Tumblr, and just about everywhere else online, including the Googlesphere.
Now, as Google closes in on all of us, this will probably be really good for those of us who are makers, creators, original artists, original writers. As Google is able to tell who we are, where we write, Google will better understand where ground zero is and which copies of all of our work, our words, our images, and our art are copies, replicants, replicas, echoes used possibly without prior approval and exclusively for bandit content remarketing as a way of ginning and gaming SEO.
Is G+ Google's Ellis Island?
My great grandparents all came through Ellis Island from Ireland and Austria-Hungary as immigrants. Folks who were coming in on steamers were checked for their identity, their names, their health and wellness, before being allowed into the US.
Is Google+ actually a place that has been trying to take the virtual tired, poor, and huddled masses, wretched refuse, the homeless, tempest-tossed, and sort them out to see which are the earnest writers, makers, producers, content-creators, tweeters, bloggers, journalists, authorities, academics, students, experts, curious, influential, and which are the Asian link farms, the copy-and-paster, the plagiarist, the conman, the SEO grey hat and black hat?
Is this a way to try to offer some forgiveness to those newbies and fools who don't actually know they're doing dastardly things? Who don't understand things like on-site duplicate content or how best to optimize for title, description, or copy? To see whether people in this immigrant line are sweating, are ornery, look shifty, or have a history of doing really dodgy thing. And this explains why there's no advertising on Google+: this isn't a place where consumers want to hang out. Google+ is a place for the makers and creators to come, where they can feel safe, where they can brag and promote and post and see everything rendered beautifully.
Google+ is a staging area where all the poets, writers, advertisers, marketers, copywriters, screenwriters, playwrights, webwrights, publicists, designers, artists, critics, authors, columnists, bloggers, coders, painters, photographers, and architects get to spend their time while Google gets to know you while they're sorting out which ones of us will bubble to the top of Google and which ones will be removed completely from Google's index full stop.
Google+'s influence on search is always changing
Up until recently, giving up all your information to Google on your Google+ about page would pretty much guarantee Google would associate my pretty face with any content that came up on Google Search that was mine. It's connected to Google Authorship. However, according to Search Engine Land, we now have this: Google Drops Profile Photos, Google+ Circle Count From Authorship In Search Results.
So, while I will still be associated with search results whenever they're my work, my face will no longer draw your eye. That said, it hasn't rolled out everywhere because, as you can see, my mug still comes up when you search for my articles on when I show up on Google News through Business 2 Community, for example.
But Search Engine Land is probably right. The reason is probably because the illustration probably takes the eye too powerfully away from paid contextual advertising, which is antithetical to Google's desire to make lots and lots of money from Google Adwords and Adsense ads. Even Google understands not to bite the hand that feeds them. Advertising dollars underwrite everything else, including self-driving cars.
The Church of Google+
And you know how religion has figured out coercion and compliance through sin and redemption? Well, Google+ has that, too. If you want to end up reliably in the top spots on organic search, you'll need to do anything and everything that Google tells you to do with regards to Google+ (like Christianity, if you want to know the Father, you need to go through the Son). For example, in order to be saved, you'll need to do more than simply pay a monthly stipend to Google Apps for Business and possess a Gmail account.
With both, you'll have YouTube and Google+ built in; however, possession is not enough. In order for salvation, you'll need to pay more than lip service. While you'll be able to watch videos on YouTube without buying into the Google+ — or any Google properties — if you want to like or comment, you'll need to build out your personal Google+ profile page. If you want to produce video content on YouTube, you'll be required to create and build out a Google+ brand or business page for your YouTube Channel.
Sort of like, if you tell a prospective employee or vendor that you'd be happy to hire or do business with them if they'll marry your unmarriageable son or daughter. I mean, it might be worth it if your entire business depends on it (which is the case when it comes to some companies who make their entire living based on whether they're at the top of Google organic searches or if you're suffering an online reputation crisis and getting to the top of Google search literally pushed negative or untrue content down).
That said, 99.999% of the 540 million members of Google don't own online — or any — business they need to promote, don't have an online reputation worth noting — or don't notice or care much about that sort of thing, or have any intention of creating content for YouTube, commenting on YouTube, or even tracking calendars, writing documents, storing files, sharing images, or anything else outside of email. In this case, Gmail.
The only reason why Facebook is so popular is because everyone you have ever known is there, especially your kids, friends, classmates, and relatives.
So, it's not because of Facebook Business Pages or because their favorite brands or celebrities are there — that's where Twitter shines — but because that's where the baby pictures are. Hell, Pinterest and Tumblr do a much better job than Google+ when it comes to this, and that's not even their core competencies.
The denizens of Google+
I am an experiment of one but I have very little engagement at all. It might just be me but I spend a lot of time on G+ — probably a lot more than you, but not as much time as Google+ monotheists (I am decidedly a social media polytheist).
Three years ago, I had a lot of engagement on Plus; however, of the 5k+ people I have in my circles, I almost never get a +1 or a comment or anything — even when I am dropping bombs, being bombastic, or baiting on guns, gun control, the Second Amendment. While I may well have been frozen out of the cool kids clique on Google+, I don't think so as I feel like my friends are singling olly olly oxenfree as well, in an attempt to see if they're posting into the void.
Case in point, my friend Jonathan Swerdloff (www.google.com/+JonathanSwerdloff). He's been online since the '90s. He's popular to the point of probably being a cult leader. While he only has 351 followers on G+ (I have 5,721), it's not like he just arrived onto Google+. Even he is gently tapping on the mike, asking a genial "olly olly oxen free," wondering where everyone else is. He likes G+ and considers it a superior product.
He's said things like, "Hello world.
"Again. I have approximately 10 friends, give or take, using Google+ that I can see. That's just … so weird to me. I think it's a structurally better system than Facebook. Oddly, several of my smartest friends (and I'm not just saying that to flatter you) are on here and don't seem to be on Facebook. There have to be pitfalls of this place but I haven't seen them. Except the identity issues, which are big, but Facebook has them as well."
The reason why he said "again" is because he had come around before, quietly asking where everyone was, why he felt so alone on Google+ when it seemed to be such a better product. He said, "Google Plus remains an odd social network but I have to admit – I still like it better than Facebook. I'm not saying that just because I'm here, mind you – I like the hangouts, the interface, the lack of advertising (for now), and my biggest disappointment is that there aren't more people using it." Don't worry, buddy, I feel the same way, too.
Google+ clone wars
Unlike Facebook and LinkedIn, which allow one profile to support many email identities and even social network log-ins, Google+ is a little like season two of "Orphan Black": orphan clones are everywhere on G+ if you don't watch your steps. And it can really become an issue. So, here's my mess: my Gmail account, [email protected], represents my official Verified G+ account, google.com/+ChrisAbraham; however, I also belong to at least three other Google accounts, my company's Google account, Gerris Corp, The Social Media Monthly Google account and my Unison Google accounts.
They all have potential Google+ profiles associated with each of them. There's no way, currently, to hook all of my Business Apps personal profiles to my G+ HQ — so, unless I am constantly vigilant, I have all of these clones running around, clones that not only look like me but sort of are me, but not really. They're not impersonators, they're authentic clones. But I neither want nor need them.
And, to be honest, Google, this is a rookie mistake, especially considering what a terror the managers of G+ were back three years ago when they were summarily shutting down accounts that were doubles or organizations. Nobody else does anything this stupid, Google+ gang. No, not even LinkedIn or Twitter. Any doubles or triples that happen on other social networks are done completely intentionally — what happens in the G+ Clone Wars is just appalling logic, workflow, usability, and logistics.
Sharing to Google Plus sucks
I can't share my Instagram photos to Google+. I can share them to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr, and Foursquare, but not Twitter. The same thing goes for every one of the mobile apps I use every day to document my life. If I want to include my friends on G+, I'll need to go out of my way to switch apps to G+ and then write a completely separate post, which I never do. And nobody ever does.
At the end of the day, I might post a synopsis of the day, rolling all the day's photos into one album, gallery, or post, and that's only because I have my G+ app set up to auto-backup all the photos from my Google Android Nexus 5 and Apple iPhone 5 to Google, which is build in on both apps. But even then, not every time and always in time delay, hours and hours after I had the experience. As an afterthought.
When I talk to Google folks or Google+ fanboys, they always say that that's to avoid spam. Well, who spams with Instagram? Who spams from mobile phones? And, if it's to defeat spam, it's kind of control-freaky: do it my way, by using the G+ plus app each time, or don't do it at all. I won't do it at all. Plus, even if I did use the G+ app to do my photo blogging, there's no way for me to concurrently cross post from G+ to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Foursquare, Tumblr, and Flickr either. It seems like Google is saying, my way or the highway. Well, Google, see ya!
The folks at Google must really be a bunch of control freaks. Google hates off-label use of its software. Google hates it when we play with the box and not the toy we were given. They not only melt down about it but have bonafide temper tantrums. It hasn't always been this way. Google used to generously offer all of its services as APIs, it used to follow open standards. and it used to be a leader in share and share alike. No more. Google's been hurt before. Innovation is disruption and disruption opens the door for abuse.
Plus, there's some hypocrisy there: you can spam to Google+ all you want if you're a client of professional content marketing tools like Buffer, GaggleAMP, and HootSuite. If the only reason why Google+ doesn't allow me to cross-post to Plus is to decrease clutter and increase engagement, you would think that Google would only enable cross posting from mobile devices and not from professional marketing platforms. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
What I think it that Google is heavy handing the adoption of the G+ mobile app and web app as "homeroom" for social media and multimedia sharing — and it's just not working at all. Not at all.
PS: Dear Google: the serious denizens of the Internet and the early adopters tend to be pretty Libertarian and don't respond well to heavy-handedness or hegemonic coercion.
Google+ for Google juice
The only people who care about links, keywords, backlinks, page rank, relevence, or Google juice are marketers and people who have things to promote. Most people have nothing to do with entrepreneurship, startups, small business, affiliate marketing, brand promotion, selling, sales, or online reputation. Most folks have jobs or are in school. Most people are employees and not employers.
The juiciest of content is not the content shared by people with an external or commercial agenda, it's between people who love with each other or are passionately in love with some third thing, such as a hobby, parenting, a club, school, profession, life experience, etc. There are a number of types of communities including community of action, community of circumstance, community of inquiry, community of interest, community of place, community of position, community of practice, and community of purpose; however, there's no such thing as a community of shameless self promotion. There can be advertising, promotion, sponsorship, underwriting, and marketing, but only on top of a vigorous, deep, persistent and durable community.
Real communities realize that in order for the bills to be paid and to remain a viable community, one needs to pay dues, run bake sales and hold raffles. Clubs never form because they get to pay dues, sell ads, run bake sales or hold raffles. I fear that maybe Google+ does things backwards: it made G+ too compelling to the sort of people who only talk and never listen, only take and never give. There might very well be some very special, intense, and smart little eddies of engaging and engaged communities.
I know my favorite podcast, No Agenda, has a number of self-organizing Google+ communities that are thriving around the production of the No Agenda show, but that's pretty much because Adam Curry hates Facebook and John C. Dvorak quit Facebook — Google+ is the only place they're willing to be, so their producers and listeners have followed them. Other than that, many of the communities seem to have a lot of people as members, around 24k each, but I really have never been recommended them, invited to join any of them, so who are these people? I really don't know. Maybe I have been excommunicated or exiled from the cool kids on G+.
In conclusion
I won't even go into Google Authorship or the Penguin and Panda algorithm changes that favor real people, authentic online engagement, and viral content that demands real human interaction and legitimate movement over social networks and through social media — that's all inside baseball. And that's the thing, Google+ is too inside baseball, it's too AV club and not enough prom committee. It's way more USENET and not enough AOL.
It's more Dungeons and Dragons than going on dates and it suffers from a staunch desire not to open up its doors for fear of ruining it. Ruining it? Oh Google, how can you brag 540 million active G+ members and not want any of them to use it for fear of ruining it. You're a member of a club that has such a small member ship that it very well might be elite and exclusive — but it's not because Google+ is just the open admissions school that nobody actually wants to go to.
Good luck, Google Plus, on your 3rd anniversary this month. I really like you. For now, only because of your potential and because I am always trying to impress your dad, Google. And for now, I will pour a lot of time and energy into your social networking service (and yes, really just to impress your dad, Google Search, and yes, I will also recommend you to all my clients, and for the same reason).
What I would really like is to love to spend time on Google+. To leave Facebook behind and make G+ my No. 1 social media wife.
Right now, it's dead last, even behind the Adventure Riders, Motobrick, and BMW MOA forums. And even behind Pinterest, a social sharing platform that I don't understand or get but need to check religiously because my awesome girlfriend sends me pins that really make me happy, so I spend more time on Pinterest than even you, Google+. You may well be a beauty but the fact that we don't like you is not because we're haters or because we're just jealous, it's because you're dull, uninteresting, and all you talk about is work.
Let me know what your experience is with Google+, YouTube, or any of the corporate or local pages. How are you experiencing Google, circa 2014?Chris Abraham is a partner in Socialmedia.biz. Contact Chris via email, follow him on Twitter and Google Plus or leave a comment below.

NFL Point Spreads 2012 Week 1 Sunday Night Football Game
The Denver Broncos start the 2012 NFL season off at home hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers tonight, Sunday Sept 9th, for some Sunday Night Football. Take a look at the NFL Point Spreads 2012 Week 1 Sunday Night Football Game. NFL sportsbooks have the Broncos as -1.5 point home favorites over the Steelers with the over/under set at 45.5 points. We recommend you check out the latest NFL Point Spreads heading into the first week of the 2012 NFL season.
Pittsburgh's defense would love to welcome Peyton Manning back to the game with a few nice hits tonight. To a man, they say they won't be bashful if they get a chance for a good, clean hit on one of the game's most heralded quarterbacks.
"I see him as a quarterback that I'm trying to get to, as I see him as any other quarterback that I'd be trying to get to," linebacker James Harrison said. "Injury has no bearing on it. He's a healthy individual. There's nothing wrong with him. He's had surgery, as many other players have had in the NFL."
It's not easy getting to Manning. He's been sacked just 231 times in 13 seasons. He's attempted 7,210 passes. The most he's been sacked is 29 times in 2001.
The Steelers did not generate much of a pass rush in the preseason with only four, and they haven't had fewer than the 35 sacks they managed last season since 1990, when they had 34.
Denver' offense in 2012 will be mostly referred to as the Peyton Manning offense. "I know he would prefer to be no-huddle, because it gives him more time at the line of scrimmage," said Tony Dungy, Manning's former Indianapolis Colts coach. "I think it will depend on how people play them. If people play them and say, 'We've still got to stop Willis McGahee and we've got to see if Peyton is healthy, they'll throw it.' But the great thing about Peyton is if they play pass defense and give them lanes to run, he'll call the runs. And I think that's going to be the type of offense they have. They'll look at it, and he's going to orchestrate it at the line of scrimmage."

Ai Weiwei Stars In Secret, Crowdfunded Sci-Fi Flick [Video]
Director Jason Wishnow has kept the production quiet for over a year, and is now Kickstarting its release.
Ai Weiwei, Chinese renegade artist, has been the subject of a film before – the Oscar-nominated, Ai WeiWei: Never Sorry. Now, arguably China's most famous and dissident artist is starring in a sci-fi short that was secretly produced and has come into the public consciousness thanks to its Kickstarter campaign.
Sand Storm by filmmaker Jason Wishnow, imagines a not-so distant apocalyptic future, with Ai WeiWei starring as a water smuggler in a world where water is scarce. The short film was made in China over the course of the year, all while trying to keep the production under wraps and away from the attention of government officials.
Wishnow was in China in search of inspiration and 'creative solititude' and eventually crossed paths with WeiWei through his connection to TEDTalks (he used to be a filmmaker there). The collaboration resulted in this guerrilla film being made on the back of loans and deferred payments. Now,through Kickstarter, the crowdfunding campaign has already surpassed its goal almost three-fold. Currently it is at $79,098 (it's original goal was $33,000). The hope is that this ten minutes film will make the festival rounds, and eventually lead to a feature film.
Says Wishnow:
Even today, water shortages, poor air quality, and information obstruction exist around the world. These complex issues provide the backdrop for an open-ended story, and our art house sci-fi short is the set-up for an eventual full-length feature film. But first, we need to finish the short.
