Some freshmen enter college basketball and find stardom right away.
Playing time and shots within the offense come easy for these guys. There is some adjustment, but it's always expedited with instant experience. For Utah, this applies to Jordan Loveridge and Brandon Taylor, the two rookie starters for coach Larry Krystkowiak.
But for every Loveridge or Taylor, there are the Dakarai Tuckers of the college hoops world. Those who find playing time sporadic at best. Those who need time to adjust to the speed and skill of Division I basketball out of high school.
"Dakarai hasn't always played a lot, but he's always been ready," Krystkowiak said.
At times, Tucker has been in Krystkowiak's rotation, at times he hasn't. On Sunday, though, the 6-foot-6 small forward out of California made perhaps his first real significant contribution in a tense atmosphere of his Utes career.
As Utah staged a big rally in a 68-64 loss to No. 9 Arizona at the Huntsman Center, Tucker came off the bench in the second half and hit two huge 3-pointers to fuel Utah's comeback. During Pac-12 play, Tucker had hit just two shots from beyond the arc. He matched that output in 12 minutes against the Wildcats.
"I'm happy for Dakarai," Krystkowiak said. "He's always stayed ready. He's always been prepared whether or not he plays at all. He's a great teammate and he's a guy who helped us when his number was called."
Utah's perimeter lineup this season has been devoid of length in a number of games. Tucker helped the comeback because he was the one guy on the roster with the size and the athleticism to combat Arizona small forward Solomon Hill.
With Tucker in the game, the Utes were able to effectively play a zone defense and bother shots from the perimeter. A normally reluctant shooter, Tucker willingly took the first open looks made available to him.
Krystkowiak said Tucker has been practicing well lately, leading the staff to trust him in pressure situations. As Utah prepares for a road game at Colorado on Thursday night, Tucker appears to be yet another freshman able to contribute as the Utes progress to the home stretch of the regular season.
"I just wanted to come in and play hard," Tucker said. "Coaches have told us all to stay ready and it paid off today."

breast engorgement
What are effective home remedies/interventions for breast engorgement?

Engorgement often happens within the first few days after birth if baby is not put to the breast frequently and sucking effectively.
One thing that can help is to be sure baby is suckling often at the breast from the time he/she is born. Having baby tucked in bed with you makes it easier to breastfeed often, and if you're in the hospital at birth, having baby room in with you is very beneficial.
If you have very large breasts the fill with a lot of milk, sometimes you can work with a lactation consultant who can help you wrap your breasts in cabbage leaves. You want to be careful if you're going to use cabbage leaves because it can actually greatly reduce and stop your milk supply, but for someone who overproduces and has very large breasts, using cabbage leaves as directed can be helpful in avoiding engorgement.
Warm regards,

I've given up on making some sort of hack, but I can't find a list anywhere stating a good USB wireless adapter that IS KNOWN to work in monitor and/or promiscuous mode in linux.
Anyone here know of such a USB adapter?

Nick Cannon Hospitalized!
Mariah Carey's been by her hubby's bedside in Aspen all night.
-PJ Gach
As reported first by People magazine, Nick Cannon, host of America's Got Talent, spent the night in an Aspen hospital with "mild kidney failure," and wife Mariah Carey curled up next to him on the bed.
Read Aretha Franklin Is Engaged!
At 2.45 am, Mariah Carey posted a message on her website asking for her fans to say a prayer for her hubby. Mariah wrote under the photo, "This is us in the hospital – role reversal; Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are.
We're trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C.
We're doing OK but we're "straaaaaanded in Aspen". #DramaticDivaPlace (I know, we could be in a lot worse places) but the truth is as long as we're together, we're OK. I'm not trying to make light out of the situation because it's a serious moment that's very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers. LYM."
She also tweeted this message:
The couple had spent New Year's Eve in Aspen.
TheInsider.com has the latest update on Nick's condition. A source close to the couple told them, that Nick suffered from dehydration, not "mild kidney failure." According to the source, Nick should be released from the hospital shortly and sent home with a clean bill of health. And probably a warning or two on about how important it is to make sure you drink plenty of water after doing sports and other strenuous activitites,

Thread: Lynn Swann
Lynn Swann
For DkBlue (or anyone else who wants to read).
Lynn Swann PFR ranking- 857th all-time (roughly 200 HOFers since 1950), so even if their were four HOFs, Swann still wouldn't get in.
I'm not sure where your support for Lynn Swann comes from.
In addition to very pedestrian career stats, the ideas that he was a "very good" or "one of the two best wrs of his era" are utterly unfounded.
You seemed to state that his lack of career numbers were due to a short career, when the factual information states that his lack of career numbers were due to the fact that he wasn't that productive.
Swann never once finished in the top 5 in the NFL in receptions.
He only finished in the top 10 in receiving yards 3 times, never finishing higher than 4th.
He finished in the top 10 in the league in TD catches 3 times, including once leading the league (about the only statistical argument you could ever make that he was "great")
He also had one season (1974) where he was a very good punt returner. However, as we've seen with Tim Brown's (a far superior WR) exclusion from Canton the last few years, punt return ability means little in HOF consideration.
Swann also only made 3 Pro Bowls, so the notion that there was some form of greatness that superceded his meager statistical production is also unfounded.
Among modern receivers, there is simply no precedent that says Swann is anywhere near being worthy of Canton.
I mentioned Harold Jackson yesterday. He was a few years older than Swann, but they were largely contemporaries.
Jackson had almost exactly double of Swann's career yards.
Jackson had 4 appearances in the top 10 in catches. Swann had two. Jackson also had a year where he led the league in catches and another where he was 4th. Swann was never in the top 5 even one in his career.
Jackson made 5 pro bowls vs. Swann's three.
Jackson was in the top 10 in receiving yards 5 times. Swann just 3 times. Jackson led the NFL in receiving yards twice and finished 3rd another year.
Jackson finished with 4 top 10 finishes in TD receptions, and like Swann had a year in which he lead the league in TD catches (13 in 1973).
Lynn Swann is in the HOF. Harold Jackson never even once has been selected as a HOF finalist.
This is why Swann is viewed by virtually every NFL stat expert as being horrendously overrated.
Not only are the stats not there, but neither are the Pro Bowls. The same media that thought he wasn't deserving of a Pro Bowl nomination more than three times in his career suddenly viewed him as HOF worthy??? That's what doesn't make sense in the least.
It goes to show how much of a disproportionate credit a player gets for having the blind luck of playing for a "dynasty". Had Swann played for any other NFL team, there would be zero merit for him being in Canton.
You can argue that Swann's stats suffered due to the era in which he competed, but look at his stats compared to other 1960-1985 era HOF WRs.
Compare him to Biletnikofin terms of times he was in the top ten in the major statistical categories
Compare him to Maynard
Compare him to Bob Hayes
Compare him to Charlie Joiner
Compare him to Charley Taylor
If you take the time to do that, you'll leave scratching your head over how Swann ever became a HOF finalist, let alone found enough support to get voted in.
Regardless of era, 3 pro bowls and 3 appearance in the top 10 in receiving yards doesn't get you into Canton....unless you happen to be a Steeler.

Re: Lynn Swann
Good luck trying to convince an old Steelers fan that one of his heroes doesn't belong in the HOF. When Swann got it a lot of people were stunned, count me as one of them. The bias towards those 70s Steelers and Cowboys from the media has always been there.Putting the Fanatic back in Fan
Re: Lynn Swann
In Lynn Swann's best season, he caught 61 passes for 880 yards.
That's his best season!
He helped Pittsburgh win some Superbowls, but I don't think players should be inducted only for their post season accomplishments.
I remember him as a pretty good receiver, but 61 for 880 in his best season, and only 50 catches in his 2nd best season.
Without looking it up, I bet there are several guys who caught more than 61 passes for multiple seasons who will not get in the HOF. I think Todd Heap has numbers that are better than Swann's, so he should be a lock for the HOF.
Lynn Swann is the Phil Rizzuto of football.

Re: Lynn Swann
Love the post, man. Especially the Rizzuto part.
I will state that you can't compare 1970s catch numbers versus 2000s pass #s (Swann vs. Heap argument), but I do get your point. The short passing game that you see now didn't exist in the 70s, so using yards is probably a bit more accurate than passes caught. However, even in yards, as you stated, Swann never had more than 900 of them in a season. He also finished in the top 10 in receiving yards just 3 times. So even if you adjust his receiving efforts for the era, he has no business getting in.

Re: Lynn Swann
Im not trying to discount what you are saying, I think Swann was over rated myself.
But I was wondering if the stats you rate him on include the playoffs?
"He helped Pittsburgh win some Superbowls, but I don't think players should be inducted only for their post season accomplishments."
Oops, nevermind.

Re: Lynn Swann
Carter Enters Hall of Fame
Re: Lynn Swann
I think Carter and Brown are both slam dunk Hall of Famers, but Brown was better.
One out of the trio or Carter, Brown, and Andre Reed will get inducted this year. The prevailing sentiment is that Reed gets in because if he doesn't get inducted in 2012, he might never. The argument is that Brown and Carter are good enough to get in on their own with little resistance down the road. I think that's a flawed argument, but the fact that Reed made it further in the induction process than Brown did last year might prove the theory valid.
For some reason, Brown not being in Canton already really irritates me. You really have to wonder what more the guy could have done to improve his chances. Top 5 all-time in receptions, yards, and punt return yards. 6th in TD catches all while playing with very mediocre QBs in an offense where there were no other weapons in the Raider passing game.

Re: Lynn Swann
Lynn was a pretty good player but not truly great. He was a ballot finalist for 13 years so it seems many others didn't think he belonged either until maybe they just got tired of seeing his name on there.

South Euclid man swims across Lake Erie
(Cleveland) -- A South Euclid man has done something that no other Ohio resident has reportedly done before. Steve Wargo, 55, has swum across Lake Erie.
Wargo accomplished his feat overnight from July 31 into August 1, going 24.3 miles from Long Point, Ontario to Freeport Beach near Erie, Pennsylvania.
Why did he do it? Wargo tells WTAM "much as a mountain climber would look at a mountain, I look at a body of water and think, 'why not?'"
Wargo, who is also the oldest person to swim across Lake Erie, took a year to plan for his feat, dealing with training, establishing a team, and also dealing with government agencies. In addition to having passports, he and his team were also identified individual ID numbers by the Department of Homeland Security.
Wargo says he "hit the wall" at about seven hours into the swim, and became quite disappointed when being told he had gone only eight miles, when he had estimated he had gone 14. He swam a little more, and that's about the time his attitude and body metabolism changed, giving him the energy and drive to continue the swim.
When he arrived onshore in Pennsylvania, Wargo says he was so exhausted he had to crawl out of the lake, but eventually stood up and waved a small American flag. He says holding the flag was important to him, as his feat was also a way to raise money for the Wounded Warriors project, helping wounded military veterans.

As we wrote in our last post, Gnip co-sponsored the 2011 Dreamforce Hackathon, where teams of developers from all over the world competed for the top three overall cash prizes as well as prizes in multiple categories. Our very own Rob Johnson (@robjohnson), VP of Product and Strategy, helped judge the entries, selecting the Enterprise Mood Monitor as winner of the Gnip category.
The Enterprise Mood Monitor pulls in data from a variety of social media sources, including the Gnip API, to provide realtime and historical information about the emotional health of the employees. It shows both individual and overall company emotional climate over time and can send SMS messages to a manager in cases when the mood level goes below a threshold. In addition, HR departments can use this data to get insights into employee morale and satisfaction over time, eliminating the need to conduct the standard employee satisfaction surveys. This mood analysis data can also be correlated with business metrics such as Sales and Support KPIs to identify drivers of business performance.
Pretty cool stuff.
The three developers (Shamil Arsunukayev , Ivan Melnikov and Gaziz Tazhenov) from Comity Designs behind this idea set out to create a cloud app for the social enterprise built on one of Salesforce's platforms. They spent two days brainstorming the possibilities before diving into two days of rigorous coding.

Oh my gosh this looks so delicious!
I was excited to see how to make these…until I saw that you use ravioli to make ravioli? :/ Bummer.
AWESOME!! Can't wait to try it~ I'm sure my family will enjoy!
Yum! Love easy, quick dinners! Pinned it. 🙂
And on a different note, I've been a follower for a very long time but just found out tonight that your dad is my Stake President. SO cool! (I think he's more than amazing! 🙂
Do you thaw the raviolis before cooking them? or can i do everything frozen?
Hi Alexandra!
I used raviolis that were refrigerated, but if you use frozen ones, I would thaw them beforehand. Hope you like it!
why use raviolis from the store when you could make them and wondering if it was possible to use homemade raviolis instead
I made a small batch of these tonight to test them out. I had beef frozen raviolis in the freezer. It was a spur of the moment decision to make them to go with dinner, so I thawed the raviolis briefly in the microwave before I started since the recipe called for refrigerated raviolis. I mixed a little bit of panko bread crumbs with the italian bread crumbs and parmesan. They were extra crispy and yummy! I think we'll try them with cheese raviolis another time. Thank you for the idea.
Our family loves going to Olive Garden for dinner. When we do, the fried ravioli with sauce is one of our favorite appetizers. I've always wished I knew how to make them at home. Now I do! Thank you. 🙂

Oooh, thank you for this! I made these little wonders tonight and they turned out just great – puffed and crispy and yummy…mmmmm, mmmmm! I love toasted ravioli but hated frying them and never did anyway because of the fat and calories. Now I have an easy and low-cal alternative. Btw, I used thawed frozen beef ravioli. Thanks again!
This comment has been removed by the author.
These are cooking right now! They look sooooo yummy! I ended up using a large frozen bag (all I had) and I cooked them stove top enough to thaw and then continued the recipe! I hope they turn out as good as they look! 🙂
I have never tried thawing frozen ravioli, but I don't think it will be a problem as long as it is cooked all the way through when you are baking it! We also have a recipe that uses frozen ravioli if she is interested: http://sss.tbndevelopment.com/2011/06/easy-ravioli-and-cheese-bake.html
These smelled delicious while baking, but turned out really dry and not very tasty. I followed the recipe to the letter, and was disappointed since everyone else had great reviews.
I made these for my kiddos and they really liked it. I used the leftovers in the red sauce for lunch for the big kids the next day. I would recommend using larger ravioli rather than small, the small ones were a little drier that I would have liked. Thanks for the fun finger food idea!
Stupid question… But do you need to boil the raviolis first?
I made these the other night and I was so disappointed because they looked SO good. I don't think it was the recipe though, I think it was the ravioli I chose. I purchased small square Bertoli refrigerated ravioli from my grocery store and followed the directions to a T but they weren't that great. We ate them, but I probably wouldn't make them again unless I tried a different brand ravioli.
I would like to make them a day before for a party we are hosting. Have you stored them fresh or frozen? What is the best way. Also, can they be served at room temp.

Emotions In A Box
Theatre students design enclosed spaces to house an emotion.
In Professor Desiderio Roybal's Design Fundamentals class, students had to design an enclosed space or "box" which houses an emotion. The contents inside and outside the box were to be as informative as the box itself. Students utilized the elements and principles of design to help guide the viewer to understand the student's chosen emotion. The students learned to explore ideas using images, artifacts, and artwork to understand conclusions. These conclusions impacted their understanding of why certain conclusions are drawn.

11 December 2011 • Off-campus Event
On Sunday, December 11, at the Patriarchal Monastery of Our Lady of Balamand in Lebanon, two of our alumni were among three ordained to the episcopacy in the Self-Ruled Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of North America (AOCANA). The three new hierarchs were ordained by His Beatitude, Ignatius IV, patriarch of the Great City of God, Antioch, and all the East; they will serve as auxiliaries to His Eminence, Metropolitan Philip, archbishop of New York and Metropolitan of All America.
His Grace John (Abdalah), who earned a Master of Divinity degree from St. Vladimir's in 1984, has been named Auxiliary Bishop for Worcester and New England; and His Grace Anthony (Michaels) who earned a Master of Divinity degree from the seminary in 1982, has been named Auxiliary Bishop for Toledo and the Midwest. His Grace Nicholas (Ozone) was the third bishop ordained; he has been named Auxiliary Bishop for Brooklyn, and he will also assist Metropolitan Philip at the headquarters of AOCANA in Englewood, New Jersey.
Prior to his ordination to the episcopacy, Bishop John [2] served as dean of St. George Cathedral in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and as editor of The Word, the official magazine of AOCANA. Bishop Anthony [3] served as pastor of St. John Chrysostom Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Reflecting upon his new office and responsibilities, and his alma mater, Bishop Anthony said, "Philosophy approaches truth as a concept, history records how it affected human events over time, science conducts experiments to justify it, and theology celebrates it in the Person of Christ and as a Person, giving us an encounter with Him. My professors at St. Vladimir's and the entire family of the seminary showed how the beauty, harmony, and exalted elegance of the kingdom of God is here with us all the time; and how the world is a sacrament of His love, a beginning in time of the timeless relationship with Him in the never ending day of His kingdom.
"As a bishop, I would hope to hand down this vision of truth to other so that they can find themselves in Christ and enjoy their own Sabbath rest with God, persons to persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit."

On PBS, WSJ 's Strassel exaggerated significance of potential ANWR oil production
Kimberly A. Strassel [1], a senior editorial page writer for The Wall Street Journal, falsely claimed that "most of the estimates" indicate that allowing oil production in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) "could be really significant" and "could replace most of the oil we get from Saudi Arabia in 20 or 30 years." But a U.S. Department of Energy study [2], conducted by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) to assess the potential impact of oil production in ANWR, concludes otherwise: By 2025, the United States would import an estimated 66 percent of its oil if ANWR production were permitted, compared with an estimated 70 percent if production were not allowed.
Further, according to EIA estimates [3], the United States presently imports about 58 percent of the oil it consumes; in 2003, some 9 percent came from Saudi Arabia.* [4] So even if Strassel had been correct that ANWR production could "replace most" U.S. oil imports from Saudi Arabia, this would still constitute only a small portion of total U.S. imports.
Finally, even if the United States decreased its oil imports through increased domestic production in places like ANWR, Persian Gulf states would still control oil prices, since oil markets are global and these states control most of the world's oil supply and decide on the quantity they pump on a given day. As conservative Washington Post columnist Robert J. Samuelson explained [5] on October 6, 2004: "Even if we eliminated Persian Gulf imports, we'd still be vulnerable. Oil scarcities and prices are transmitted worldwide. The global economy -- on which we depend -- remains hugely in need of Persian Gulf oil." Indeed, EIA's 2004 analysis [6] estimated that oil production in ANWR would reduce oil prices by a relatively insignificant 30 to 50 cents per barrel by 2025, "relative to a projected 2025 world oil price of $27 per barrel."
On the January 7 edition of PBS's Journal Editorial Report, host and Wall Street Journal editorial page editor Paul Gigot asked Strassel about the effect ANWR drilling could have on oil imports:
STRASSEL: When, you know, Republicans go to take up on an energy bill this year, the hope is that we will have some sort of thoughtful debate about supply in this country --
GIGOT: Particularly drilling in Alaska. How much of foreign imports would that displace, if any?
STRASSEL: Well, It could be really significant. People like to talk about our dependence on the Middle East. The reality is, if we got ANWR up and running, most of the estimates is -- are that it could replace most of the oil we get from Saudi Arabia in 20 or 30 years. That's not insignificant.
*Calculation: 1,774,000 barrels per day imported from Saudi Arabia (from this EIA chart [3]) divided by 20,034,000 barrels per day consumed (from this EIA chart [7]) equals approximately 8.9 percent.

25 Things About Olga Kurylenko
How much do you know about 'Oblivion' star Olga Kurylenko? Get ready for a crash course!
-Lucia Peters
You're probably familiar with Ukrainian beauty Olga Kurylenko from the 2008 James Bond flick Quantum of Solace. Her star has been steadily on the rise since then, and she has not one, but TWO movies getting released this Friday: Oblivion and To the Wonder. Oblivion is undoubtedly the bigger of the two; a sci fi film of epic proportions, it stars Tom Cruise as a veteran soldier sent to a distant planet on a court martial to destroy the remains of an alien race. The arrival of an unexpected traveler then cuases him to question what he knows about the planet, his mission—and himself. Check out the trailer here:
It's exclusively in IMAX this week, with its regular nationwide release happening next week—but golly, if there was ever a film for IMAX, this is it!
To the Wonder, meanwhile, made waves at the Venice International Film Festival last summer. Written and directed by Terrance Malick, it costars Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, and Javier Bardem. It centers on an American man who reconnects with a woman from his hometown after his relationship with a European woman falls apart. What happens when the European woman returns? You'll have to see it to find out!
But how much do you really know about Olga Kurylenko? We've got a crash course in everything Olga assembled right here in one easy place, so read on for all the deets!

Sammon responds: "Give me specifics" about my conservative viewpoint
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
This morning, Media Matters released a leaked email sent by Fox News' Washington Managing Editor Bill Sammon during the height of the health care reform debate instructing Fox's journalists not to use the phrase "public option." As we detailed, Sammon's directive echoed advice from a Republican pollster on how to turn public opinion against reform.
Responding to The Daily Beast's Howard Kurtz about the leaked email, Sammon reportedly defended his directive, and also objected to being characterized as conservative:
Sammon said in the interview that he was a newspaper reporter for 25 years and his record demonstrates that he hasn't favored either side. "Have I said things where I take a conservative view? Give me specifics," he said.
Kurtz lists several examples from Sammon's appearances on Fox since he became managing editor:
In his Fox appearances since his promotion last year, Sammon has been notably unsympathetic to the Obama administration. "The mainstream media hates the Tea Party movement almost as much as it hates Sarah Palin," he said this year. "And the reason is simple. That's because both are a threat." Less than a month after the president took office, Sammon said of the stimulus bill: "I think this has turned into a public-relations disaster for Obama. People look at this thing and see, you know, some mouses being protected in Pelosi's district, some rail lines being built in Harry Reid's state... I think as we get deeper into the details of this bill, it's going to get uglier and uglier. So yes, Obama won, but he won ugly."
Sammon has also accused Obama of making decisions that "take America off its war footing... the opposite of what the Bush and Cheney folks did in the wake of 9/11." And during a discussion of Iraq last year, he said: "That's the difference between liberals and conservatives. Conservatives have the intellectual honesty like Bill Kristol here to support both surges, whereas a lot of Democrats reflexively opposed George Bush's surge because--it wasn't so much because they were antiwar. It's because they wanted to destroy the Bush presidency."
And evidence that Sammon pushes a conservative viewpoint goes back much farther.
As we documented earlier this year, Sammon wrote numerous fawning books about the Bush administration, most of which were published by the Regnery Company, which describes itself as "central to the conservative movement" and "the nation's preeminent conservative publisher."
Sammon's books didn't really try to hide his viewpoint, and in fact were identified by reviewers as "conservative polemic" that show his "admiration" of President Bush:
- At Any Cost: How Al Gore Tried to Steal the Election
- Fighting Back: The War on Terrorism From Inside the Bush White House
- Misunderestimated: The President Battles Terrorism, Media Bias, and the Bush Haters
- Strategery: How George W. Bush Is Defeating Terrorists, Outwitting Democrats, and Confounding the Mainstream Media
- The Evangelical President: George Bush's Struggle to Spread a Moral Democracy Throughout the World
But you don't have to take our word for it about Sammon's conservative bona fides, just ask two of Fox News' most prominent on-air personalities.
In a June 2001 interview on Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly introduced Sammon by saying: "Mr. Sammon obviously is a conservative and coming from that point of view." Sammon did not object to O'Reilly designation.
More recently, on the August 2009 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co's Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace told Sammon that "I think it's fair to say you tilt conservative in your views." Once again, Sammon did not reject Wallace's characterization.
Is that "specific" enough, Mr. Sammon?

How accurate are dangerous global warming forecasts? An Australian university prefessor reports they are "All up in the air", according to the Courier Mail 30 June 2007. Professor Bob Carter, a James Cook University geologist, who studies ancient environments and climate, commented on the latest admission of weather guru Kevin Trenberth, head of the US National Centre for Atmospheric Research and one of the advisory high priests of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Trenberth has had a distinguished career as a climate scientist with interests in the use of computer General Circulation Models (GCMs), which are the basis for most current public alarm about dangerous global warming. Carter writes "In a remarkable contribution to Nature magazine's Climate Feedback blog, Trenberth now concedes (writes Carter) that GCMs cannot predict future climate and claims the IPCC is not in the business of climate prediction. Among other things, Trenberth asserts "… there are no (climate) predictions by IPCC at all. And there never have been". Instead, there are only "what if" projections of future climate that correspond to certain emissions scenarios. According to Trenberth, GCMs "do not consider many things like the recovery of the ozone layer, for instance, or observed trends in forcing agents … None of the models used by IPCC is initialised to the observed state and none of the climate states in the models corresponds even remotely to the current observed climate. The state of the oceans, sea ice and soil moisture has no relationship to the observed state at any recent time in any of the IPCC models. There is neither an El Nino sequence nor any Pacific Decadal Oscillation that replicates the recent past; yet these are critical modes of variability that affect Pacific rim countries and beyond … the starting climate state in several of the models may depart significantly from the real climate owing to model errors" and "regional climate change is impossible to deal with properly unless the models are initialised".
GCMs "assume linearity" which "works for global forced variations, but it cannot work for many aspects of climate, especially those related to the water cycle . . . the science is not done because we do not have reliable or regional predictions of climate". Strange that (says Carter) who could have sworn that I heard somewhere that the science was supposed to be settled. One wonders whether anyone has told the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organization) that their much-vaunted regional climate models are worthless predictive tools. Perhaps someone will ask the CSIRO to refund the amounts state governments and others have paid for useless regional "climate forecasts"? In another devastating blow to the credibility of climate forecasting, a lead author of the IPCC Working Group 1 science report, Jim Renwick, recently admitted "climate prediction is hard, half of the variability in the climate system is not predictable, so we don't expect to do terrifically well". Renwick was responding to an audit showing the climate forecasts issued by New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmosphere were accurate only 48 per cent of the time. In other words, one can do just as well by tossing a coin. Carter states, "These various criticisms of climate modeling can be summed up in the following statement - there is no predictive value in the current generation of computer GCMs and therefore the alarmist IPCC statements about human-caused global warming are unjustified."
Editorial Comment: Australia is only one of many democratic countries in which both Government and the Opposition parties profess to set climate policies based on IPCC advice, as they legislate with gay abandon to impose inefficient, ineffective and costly carbon trading or taxation system on their economies, with the alleged aim of "stopping climate change". Is it time to tell the leaders of such Governments that dangerous global warming has been called off?

A Northern California roller coaster appears to have been a little too much fun.
The Gold Striker at Great America in Santa Clara had to be taken offline this week because riders were screaming too loudly.
The San Jose Mercury News reports that the shrieks were exceeding the decibel limit agreed upon in a settlement with Prudential Real Estate, which owns adjacent properties.
So Great America had to cover a portion of the track in a sound-dampening tunnel. The wooden roller coaster reopened on Wednesday after the work was completed.
Gas line spills 25K gallons on Crow Reservation
Officials say just over 25,000 gallons of gasoline leaked from an 8-inch underground Phillips 66 pipeline on the Crow Reservation in southeastern Montana. A U.S. Department of Transportation spokesman says the cause is under investigation, but there's no immediate public safety threat from the leak. The environmental impact remains uncertain. The DOT spokesman says no waterways were immediately impacted. Officials from the Environmental Protection Administration and the Crow Tribe also are investigating. The same pipeline broke twice in a week in 1997, spilling a combined 2,300 barrels of gasoline near Lodge Grass and Banner, Wyo..

U.S. airlines resume
Mexico City flights
U.S. airlines have resumed all flights to Mexico City after voluntarily cancelling several dozen because of an eruption from the nearby Popocatepetl volcano. Mexico City International Airport information chief Richard Jimenez says United and American Airlines resumed flights Thursday night. On Friday, there were no reports of cancellations by any airline. At least six U.S. airlines canceled 47 flights into and out of the Mexico City and Toluca airports on Thursday as the volcano spewed a mile-high (1.5 kilometer-high) plume of ash that drifted over large parts of Mexico City, 40 miles (65 kilometers) away.
BART trains in Bay Area resume service
Commuter rail service has resumed in the San Francisco Bay Area after unions called off a strike and agreed to extend a labor contract for a month while bargaining continues. The Bay Area Rapid Transit agency said 35 trains were put into service Friday afternoon. Dozens of commuters were lined up awaiting the first trains at the West Oakland station after nearly five days without service due to the strike. BART and its two largest labor unions agreed to an extension of the current contract.
Miners in Congo petition
to resume digging
Miners in eastern Congo are seeking to go back to work in territory that has been under a mining ban for three years and is blacklisted by U.S. legislation, according to a petition made public Friday. Their petition, which calls for mines in Walikale territory to be allowed to restart production, was signed by five cooperatives of artisanal miners as well as mine owners, traditional chiefs and other supporters. The ban was imposed across much of eastern Congo on the grounds that minerals were funding armed groups.

bleeding but bub is ok
early in in my pregnancy I began to bleed a lot and this frightened me, but after checking with the doctor everything appeared fine. Why does this bleeding accure and what triggers it?
22nd March 2014 07:08 AM #2
Dear lisax04,
Bleeding in pregnancy should always be reported to your doctor or midwife as it is not consider a 'normal' part of pregnancy. However, saying that, around a quarter of pregnant women will bleed at some point in their pregnancy and most of these women will go on to have a healthy baby. Sometimes the bleeding is caused by a blood clot being pushed out of the womb or some older blood leaving the uterus. However, it can be a sign of a miscarriage which is why it always needs to be checked out.
I'm so happy that your baby was fine. It is worrying when it happens but its best to try to stay calm and contact your doctor.
Best wishes,

51s' Flores hitting everything in sight07/03/2013 2:07 AM ET
By Jonathan Raymond / MiLB.com
Wilmer Flores has seemingly managed to get better and better as the season has gone along, improving his numbers each month. On Tuesday night, he delivered his best performance yet.
The Mets' No. 7 prospect collected a career-high five hits, hitting two doubles, scored three times and drove in a run as Triple-A Las Vegas pounded Fresno, 12-2.
Flores finished 5-for-6 and fell one hit shy of the team record set by Billy Hall in 1994. He eclipsed his previous high of four hits, accomplished most recently on June 24, 2012 for Double-A Binghamton.
"He just made real hard contact five times in a row, probably the best I've seen him five at-bats in a row [this season]," 51s manager Wally Backman said.
Flores' month-by-month improvement has been remarkably consistent. In April, he hit .269 and put up a .715 OPS; in May, it was .306 and .873; in June, he batted .342 with a .950 OPS. And he's 7-for-10 in his first two games in July.
"Offensively, I think he's gotten better, there's no question about it," Backman said. "He's basically been around .300 most of the year, but you can see the more consistent quality at-bats he's having, and it's turning into some extra hits.
"He's a real good teammate. He comes out every day, has fun and goes out there and expects to win. He's a quality individual. He works hard on his defense, and that's really what he still needs to improve on still, but offensively, he can swing the bat. He has a knack for driving in runs and it's nice to be able to have guys like that."
The 21-year-old Venezuelan has been making progress at second while wielding a potent bat. Last season, he stormed through the Class A Advanced Florida State League and Double-A Eastern League, combining for a .300/.349/.479 slash line. After 64 games with St. Lucie and 66 with Binghamton, he convinced the Mets he was ready for Triple-A.
Despite being one of the youngest regulars in the Pacific Coast League, he's fashioned a .320/.357/.520 line with 10 homers, 27 doubles and 64 RBIs in 81 games.
"You know, he did really well last year and from what I've seen in the four years I've been around him, I think he's just going to become a better hitter each and every year," Backman noted. "He's definitely gotten better, like I said. He's an RBI machine. He gets good pitches to hit. He'll swing out of his own just like some hitters every once in a while, but he's really cut down on that."
The five-hit outburst raised Flores' average 10 points, leaving him 11th in the PCL batting race.
Ike Davis hit his sixth homer, a two-run shot in the first, and Juan Centeno was 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, an RBI and two runs scored for the 51s. Despite losing Zack Wheeler to the Majors and playing much of the season without top prospect Travis d'Arnaud, Las Vegas is a half-game behind first-place Tucson in the Pacific Southern Division.

The 1959 Corvette is almost identical to its older sibling from the previous production line. The few changes included a toned-down styling on the front and rear design and less chrome running through the car when compared to the 1958 model. The instrument panel changed a bit, with the gauge glass convexed to reduce the glare problem that riders reported in previous years. All tachometers offered redline and "safe limit" indicators in an effort to save drivers from blown engines during zippy Saturday drives.
The 1959 model also added a small storage bin next to the door grab handles. The base model Corvette was a three-speed manual transmission, but a T-shift, four speed was optional for an additional $188.30. The shifter required the driver to pull the stick up to shift into reverse as a way to prevent reverse-gear engagement while shifting the forward gears. Chevrolet also began offering a black interior in its Corvette in 1959.
Some 9,670 Corvettes were made that year and they sold for a base price of $3,875. They offered a 230-horsepower engine and convertible. Engine options ran up to 290 horsepower for a premium cost. Cars came in colors with names like Snowcrest White, Roman Red, Tuxedo Black, Frost Blue, Crown Sapphire, Classic Cream, and Inca Silver. They sell for between $60,000 and $100,000 in collector circles.

Not bad, but nothing too exciting, i have been using bitesms for a while now and it has all these features and a ton more, although the pricetag for the full version is a little high for bitesms, but you can use the free version with ads after your free trial is up.
However, what makes SMSEnhancer unique is that it's native. It runs within the already stock Messages.app. No argument for those who use biteSMS and others, but it's always nice to have something that runs seamless with the few native components.
I've been using quickreply and cyntact since BiteSMS causes random crashes on my iPhone4 (4.3.3). Oddly quickreply does the same strange behavior that caused BiteSMS to crash, but that behavior doesn't itself cause a crash. Sometimes several minutes after I've responded through quickreply or BiteSMS the SMS will come through again looking like a normal notification and that's when the crash happens (with BiteSMS it crashes). As such I'll use this app in order to make messages.app more like BiteSMS. But as the prior post says, BiteSMS is incredibly feature rich and absolutely blows this and the like out of the water with its bevy of features.
Once again, despite showing there are 6 replies to this article, I can only see the first one. I really need to write down the magic sequence of clicks needed to make the new format work. The developers need to either fix it, or swap back to the old format while they work out the kinks in this one.
Does this use the pic's associated with cyntact for contacts, or just pic's assigned sender and receiver pic
Just got the update, still not quite right tho. Not all contact pictures are showing up and no pictures are showing up in the body of the message itself. Like the tweak, but still not quite there. Timestamps are solid, although the on/off toggle in the settings does nothing.
Looks like reapplying contact pictures solves the issue of them not showing up. Still cant figure out the toggles in the settings, dont really change anything afterwards, even with respring/restart.

ROCK HILL, S.C.-Brevard College sophomore Jamie Hrobak has been selected as South Atlantic Conference Pitcher of the Week after helping the Tornados to a 4-0 start this season, the league office announced Tuesday.
"I'm super proud of Jamie and our entire team," said head coach Amanda Kamekona. "She definitely deserves this honor, and it's nice to see all of her hard work paying off."
Hrobak didn't allow an earned run in 14 innings last week, finishing 2-0 with 21 strikeouts while issuing only three walks.
The Mill Spring, N.C. native tossed a pair of complete games, going five innings on Friday in game one of Brevard's sweep of Johnson C. Smith, and then seven innings on Saturday in a 3-2 Tornado win over Lees-McRae. In total, the sophomore allowed only six hits in her three appearances.
Hrobak is one of six SAC pitchers who have yet to allow an earned run this season, and her 21 strikeouts rank second in the conference.
"I think this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of her ability," added Kamekona.
The Tornados are back in action as they visit the Milligan College Buffaloes for a doubleheader on Sunday afternoon.

Everyone has their July 4th traditions, and for many Arizonans, it's heading to the Tempe Town Lake July 4th Festival. This year marks the event's 60 year anniversary, produced by the Kiwanis Club of Tempe.
This year's attendees can expect a fresh take on the traditional attractions of the event. Activities include an eclectic lineup of local bands, a kids fun zone, and the always-anticipated Kiwanis Club Annual Fireworks Spectacular.
The fireworks show is one of the largest in the Valley and is shot from the Mill Avenue Bridge. This highlight of the Festival is set to begin at 9:10 p.m.
According to Amy Corben, sponsorship coordinator for Tempe 4th, last year's event raked in more than 100,000 people. This year, the numbers can only increase as Amy states that "given the number of years the event has been going, it really is a tried and true tradition for a lot of families."
The event provides ample parking and is also highly accessible through public transportation with Metro Light Rail stops nearby, the Tempe Orbit and Valley Metro buses.
Tickets are currently on sale at all Fry's Grocery stores and through ProTix for the affordable price of only $6 per person with children 12 and under in for free. Make sure to get these tickets prior to the event because at the gate prices rise to $8 per person or $15 for two people.
The public also has the opportunity to purchase VIP tickets for the Big Earl's BBQ Garden section. Tickets are $60 and include a delicious barbeque dinner, two drink tickets, and a comfortable seat in a misted area, with an excellent view of the fireworks show.
Judi Yates, event producer, says, "the event is even more enjoyable from the comfort of a misted garden."
So whether you're just looking for a great place to catch 4th of July fireworks, or you're seeking an evening full of music and activities, Tempe 4th is a perfect fit for your holiday fun.
Corben remarks that the festival "really draws people from all over" and this year will be even more fun than years past.

Difference between revisions of "Converting Between Octal and Hex"
From ErlangCentral Wiki
|(2 intermediate revisions by 2 users not shown)
|Line 50:
|Line 50:
Revision as of 14:54, 21 November 2006
You want to convert a string (e.g., "0x55" or "0755") containing an octal or hexadecimal number to the correct number.
Use the io_lib:fread and io_lib:fwrite built in functions.
1> io_lib:fread("~16u", "55"). {ok,"U",[]} % Note: "U" is ASCII 85, so the conversion produces the % correct integer value: 2> $U. 85 3> io_lib:fread("~8u", "755"). {ok,[493],[]}
The io_lib:fread function takes an optional radix (which must be an exact integer, from 2 to 36). If not supplied, it defaults to decimal.
You can provide specific formatting for numbers using the io_lib:format or io:fwrite functions (which use the same syntax): 4> io:fwrite("~.16B\n", [123]). 7B
Note that the radix and numbers may be upper or lower case.
Here's an example that accepts a number in either decimal, octal, or hex, and prints that number in all three bases. It uses the oct function to convert from octal and hexadecimal if the input began with a 0. It then uses printf to convert back into hex, octal, and decimal as needed.
convert(Str) -> {ok, [Num], _ } = io_lib:fread("~u", Str), io_lib:format("decimal=~B, hex=~.16B, octal=~.8B", [Num, Num, Num]). 5> io:fwrite("~s\n", [cookbook:convert("123")]). decimal=123, hex=7B, octal=173
The following code converts Unix file permissions. They're always given in octal, so we assume base 8:
fp_convert(Str) -> {ok, [Num], _ } = io_lib:fread("~8u", Str), io:fwrite("The decimal value is ~B~n", [Num]). 6> cookbook:fp_convert("777"). The decimal value is 511 ok

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer
LYNNWOOD — Shaughn Maxwell wasn't thinking about national recognition when he made the suggestion.
It just turned out that way.
The Snohomish County Fire District 1 captain was looking for ways to save more lives.
At the time, Maxwell was serving on a task force for helping stroke victims. The emphasis was the importance of quick treatment. In his line of work, there's a saying: "Time is brain." For every minute a stroke is left untreated, nearly 2 million neurons are destroyed.
At the same time, Maxwell was reading "The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right," a non-fiction work that made the New York Times bestseller list. It emphasized the importance of planning and preparation in critical situations.
It seemed to Maxwell that such a list could help his crew out in the field.
Without really expecting a reply, he emailed the book's author, Atul Gawande, a surgeon and associate professor at Harvard University. Gawande responded with enthusiasm. He has been in his corner with advice ever since.
Maxwell worked with the district's medical service director, Dr. Richard Campbell. They came up with checklists for different situations medics routinely encounter.
Today, Fire District 1 has roughly a dozen checklists for conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma, trauma, seizures and heart failure. Each checklist includes reminders and priorities broken down by under categories of immediate action, key considerations and other considerations.
"The checklists assure our EMS experts consistently apply these key interventions — every time for every patient," Maxwell said.
"It takes an expert to execute the checklist and our firefighters are incredible," he said. "If you don't have expert firefighters, the checklist is just a list on a piece of paper."
With the success of the checklists, Fire District 1 recently was one of three fire departments across the nation to be recognized by the Congressional Fire Services Institute and the MedicAlert Foundation. The other departments are in Maryland and Florida.
Maxwell said the checklists have drawn interest from fire departments across the country and beyond, including the medical director for the London Olympic Games.
Although they seem simple, the process of writing them can be daunting.
Each checklist goes through dozens of revisions to make it quick and concise for each scenario.
"It's amazing how such a simple thing can be so complicated," Maxwell said. "When I'm telling people about it, I like to quote Leonardo da Vinci. He said, 'Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.'"

The BFI means business
The BFI demonstrates some real business savvy in its new Forward Plan.
When the UK Film Council was shuttered and the BFI became the lead body for film, some industry watchers were concerned that the organisation might be too 'artsy,' 'cultural' and 'historical' to really throw itself into the heavily industry side of film.
Those fears now seem unfounded as the BFI has now revealed its much-awaited Future Plan for the next five years. What impressed me most in all the initiatives were the smart pairings of public funding with private businesses — the BFI announced new partnerships with Accenture, Aardman, Samsung and Pinewood.
The plan (story here) clearly states: "The Film Fund cannot support all the needs of independent production in the UK, but we all seek to attract new equity partners to British independent films, promoting the commercial opportunities in UK film to private and corporate investors." Amen to that.
When I first moved to London after covering the film scene in New York for many years, I had to get my head around the fact that there was even any government support for film. But I always wished people lining up for those funds could also be inspired by some of the entrepreneurship we see more in America.
Pairing public money with private money is the smartest way forward — it means nobody gets too dependent on state funding, and private investment can be stretched to more value. Also, getting private businesses on board is a clear signal that projects and initiatives have value in the marketplace, not just in a cultural bubble.
Also in the plan, the BFI Film Skills Fund will also seek to "encourage original entrepreneurs and help to fuse creative, technology and entrepreneurial skills." The archive itself will see a lot of digitisation and push into new media, with broadcasters and other partners.
The joint venture pilot between producers and distributors — while maybe echoing the not-quite-right Super Slate schemes of the past — is also a good step forward to ensure that producers are working on films that distributors think audiences want to see.
Looking towards growth in markets like China and Brazil is also forward thinking.
And let's not forget the BFI itself is a moneymaker that will plow its income (including exhibition ticket sales, archive licensing and sponsorship) back into these plans.
Of course supporting film is also supporting art and culture, and the BFI's archive is a national treasure, so there is nothing wrong with all those functions; it's just crucially important to see some especially industry-focused initiatives in the mix.
This is a smart, business-savvy forward plan and I look forward to seeing it in action.
Readers' comments (3)
Agree with above wholeheartedly. Big question for me was the logic in building a player for the digitised archive when tried and tested great video platforms exist and they could spend the money building the audiences / communities not re-inventing wheel. (BFI/UKFC not famous for great tech development - Mymovies etc)
Probably go unnoticed by most, but it's the most important issue to many - great to see the new BFI plans include cinema access: 'The Diversity funds will help promote equal access, participation and strengthening cultural diversity. It will also enhance access for people with sensory impairments and fund pilots for disabled people'.
A lot of people will appreciate that statement, and eventually benefit from much-improved access to films. To thousands of people with hearing loss, an accessible show - via subtitles - is the main reason they go to see a film. Not special effects, not Brad Pitt, not great stories, but the opportunity to simply follow the plot and enjoy the film!

Nothing new in public money being mixed with
private equity [?] The new plan does not sufficiently address problems in exhibition - 64% of UK films released are specialised [ie non studio ] yet they only aggregate about 6% of box office with a typically brief but expensive cinema release that delivers no traction to dvd or tv sales. UK release costs are the highest in EU but the average ticket share is the lowest 28%.

Feminism | Posted by Julie Z on 12/5/2011
On October 15th, I had the honor of participating in the "Sex, Power and Speaking the Truth: Anita Hill 20 Years Later" conference. I spoke on an intergenerational panel that also featured speakers Kimberle Crenshaw, Virginia Valian, Gloria Steinem and Devon Carbado, which was terrifying and beyond humbling, but also probably one of the coolest things I've ever had the opportunity to do. Using your feedback about sexual harassment and my own observations, I pulled together a speech that I thought reflected our generation's attitudes towards sexual harassment.
I'm beyond late sharing this with the FBomb community, but I hope you enjoy it and would still love to hear your reactions to my speech or any of the other panelists' speeches and your thoughts …

Bracing for a Fall
A screen that I run semi-regularly on Value Line identifies stocks priced under $10 that have one of the service's two highest rankings. As a portfolio, this list has nearly doubled the market rate of return for more than 20 years, albeit with gut-wrenching volatility. It has been a tremendous source of undiscovered growth stocks and turnaround candidates.
But when I ran the screen in September, I was surprised to find only nine stocks. The list usually has about 25, and when the number is well below that, it means the market is approaching a topping or choppy period. Today, I found just six on my list of low-priced stocks that have high ranks for revenue and earnings growth potential. In addition, it was an entirely new list with no names repeated. This is highly unusual, so I went back to see what happened to the previous nine stocks. I expected to find that they had appreciated sharply and were no longer in the single digits. What I saw was exactly the opposite....416 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Hi. I'm Brent Vanni from L.L.Bean's product development team. The Stowaway has been our bestselling Gore-Tex rainwear ever since we introduced it back in 1986.
The combination of windproof, waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex fabric and L.L.Bean design make it an unbeatable value. Based on feedback from our customers, we redesigned the Stowaway with some great new features. We took it down to Gore's research lab in Maryland and worked with their team to put the new design through rigorous tests, like their Rain Room. It was a great piece to start with, and now it's even better.
We start out here with a bonded visor, so none of the rain will hit my face; it just rolls right off the front. The hood is easily adjustable here, so you just pull these drawcords and it cinches down nicely. We have a lined, tricot collar here, for a little additional warmth, and it has an adjustable cuff with Velcro adjustments here.
Then we have a cinch on either side of the waist so you can draw it in so no water or wind can get up under the jacket. We have a stowaway pocket on the inside so you can roll it right up in its own pocket and just put it in your backpack, and you have it stowed away for the day.
Gore's Christy Haywood: At Gore, we test every Gore-Tex style to make sure it will keep you dry while you're outside. The Stowaway is a jacket designed for outdoor activities – walking, hiking, backpacking. We want to make sure when you're out there, if it does begin to rain, you're kept dry and comfortable.

Via, Streetcar Opponents, Accuse Each Other of Hurting the Poor
Via Metro Transit said today the denial of the use of bonds to build two downtown stations for the proposed streetcar system will not stop the streetcar, but the bus line said it will hurt every day bus customers who rely on the bus to get to work, 1200 WOAI news reports.
It's the latest volley in the increasingly angry rhetoric over the proposed $280 million streetcar plan, which is wildly unpopular among the citizens, but is being pushed through by the Via Metro Transit board in conjunction with top city and county leaders.
"The Attorney General's denial will prove to be a disadvantage to our current riders while not affecting the progress of the modern streetcar project, which remains on schedule," Via said in a statement released today. "VIA will continue to strive to become a truly regional and multi-modal transit agency despite the efforts of some parties to disrupt our projects."
But LULAC official George Alejos said it is VIA itself which is hurting the poorest citizens of Bexar County. He says VIA has turned its back on poor and minority riders in order to build a streetcar which will be used exclusively by wealthy Anglo businessmen and tourists to the city.
He said VIA is even disrespecting its low income riders in its literature.
"Specifically VIA states in its literature that it wants to attract a higher quality of ridership," Alejo said. "What does that say about the current riders, they're not the high quality you want riding the busses?"
VIA says it will move ahead with streetcar construction, even though the company itself admits that it is $70 million short of the estimated $280 million cost of the project.
Another angle was added to the streetcar battle today when George Rodriguez, the former head of the San Antonio Tea Party and a long time activist, accused VIA of 'threatening and intimidating' him because he was one of the people who filed a lawsuit demanding that VIA not use ATD funds. That lawsuit has been withdrawn following the Attorney General's ruling.
"They want us to go away, they threatened us?" Rodriguez asked. "Give me a break. We're not going to go away."
