Mumbai: All-rounder Abhishek Nayar scored the third century of the Mumbai innings as the hosts notched up a massive 570 against a lacklustre Railways bowling attack on the second day of the Ranji Trophy Group A tie here on Saturday.
In reply, Railways were 86 for two at stumps.
Nayar, coming in to bat following Sachin Tendulkar's dismissal, scored 107 off 164 deliveries with 10 boundaries and two sixes in his knock.
He had survived a chance, though, at 86, when wicketkeeper Mahesh Rawat dropped a sharp chance off India discard Murali Kartik's bowling.
The 29-year old hit a straight six off the same bowler later to reach his eighth first-class hundred. Ajinkya Rahane, resuming on 105, added 24 more before seamer Krishna Kant Upadhyay trapped him leg before.
In pursuit of 570, Railways lost both their openers Shivakant Shukla and Amit Paunikar who couldn't cash in on the dropped catches by Kaustubh Pawar at first slip.
At the Nehru Stadium, in Guwahati, captain Dheeraj Jadhav scored a double century to help Assam pile up 450 against Tripura.
Jadhav, playing in his fourth season for Assam, resumed at overnight 127 to amass 243 — the fourth double hundred of his first class career — sharing a 213-run sixth wicket partnership with Syed Mohammed.
Jadhav's 462-ball innings was laced with 28 hits to the ropes and a towering six before Tushar Saha struck to have him caught at mid-on. Syed Mohammad (89) too played his part by giving a vital stand before he being adjudged leg before with Saha again being the wicket-taker.

In Indore: Gujarat 355 (A. Rajan 7/77). Madhya Pradesh 212/8 (N. Ojha 71; A. Singh 3/44)

New neighbors
: Business Week starts two new blogs. The tech blog is up our alley and well done (just wish they had an RSS feed for it… hint… hint…). There's also a deal blog. [via Steve Rubel]
TiVo czar
: It's either the best of jobs or the worst of jobs: TiVo is looking for a CEO as Michael Ramsay bumps himself up to full-time chairman. It's the best because it really could trigger the explosion of TV, now that the TiVo is throwing its fate with the internet (see all the exploding tV blather below): It could set the precedent for the new means of distributing media. It's the worst because it's just a tough business challenge going up against cable and satellite big boys.
Missing the point by a mile
: At the end of a very good online column today — started with a funny Crossfire of the Mind — Howard Kurtz drops this head-scratching quote from the new ombudsman/cop/conscience/whatever of CBS News:
"We didn't come clean soon enough," Linda Mason said yesterday. But, she added, "Dan does think he's constantly attacked. If we backed off every story that was criticized, we wouldn't be doing any stories."
Misses the point by a mile. Let's try to turn this quote around so it makes sense:
If you listened to the criticism that came in on your stories, you'd be doing better, more accurate stories.
That was the mistake here, Ms. Mason. That is what transparency — a word you've been throwing around — is really all about.
Media on media
: Going to be on Brian Lehrer's show on WNYC (and Sirius) at 11:05a talking about Armstrong Williams, TV coverage of the tsunami, and embeds in Iraq. The show's blog here.
Cue Taps
: Howard Fineman at MSNBC comes out and writes the obit for big, old media:
A political party is dying before our eyes
Exploding TV fraternity grows
: Wired editor-in-chief and blogger Chris Anderson writes a great post on exploding TV, with more promised.
As your thumb crawls through your several hundred digital cable channels, TV may appear anything but shackled. Yet it is. What seems like everything imaginable is instead a very thin slice on the video world. The existing channel structure mostly rewards focused programming with enough depth to fill a 24/7 window every day of the year. So the DIY channel and History en Espanol now pass muster, but the Halo 2 Physics Hacks channel does not. An acceptable loss, you say? How about last year's great season on Bravo, long ago overwritten by your DVR to save space?
Both the channel-centric reality of TV and its ephemeral nature are artifacts of the distribution bottleneck of cable broadcast. TV is still in the era of limited shelf space, while the lesson of the Long Tail is that more is always better. The growth of cable capacity over the past decade pales next to the growth in video creation over the same period and the size of the potential microaudiences for anything and everything.
: See also Fred Wilson pointing to John Battelle pointing to Mark Cuban on the future of searchable video.
We are about to enter an era where kids can do a search on google, icerocket.com, yahoo and other search engines and get all the video they want of TV broadcasts. Put in a topic. Boom. All the video you could ever want. Put in a name. There it is. Video and transcripts to go with it….
We do live in interesting times. We are the first generation to memorialize everything that we do on video. We are entering the first generation that will able to search through all of that video and find what ever they want.
: See again Fred on new ways to record TV here and here.
: See Jay Rosen telling CBS to release full video and transcripts of the interviews it bites for its shows. See me telling them how to join the future here.
: See the announcement of Vlog It!, new video blogging software from the good folks at Serious Magic, makers of Visual Communicator. Today I had a great chat with Mark Randall, the creator of this wonder, about the future of citizens' video. They're working on some really neat things I'll tell you later.
: See also Vloggercon. See often RocketBoom, a vlog. See Unmediated.org every day. Please don't see the vlogs I made two years ago. I just ordered my Visual Communicator upgrade; I'll make new (and, I hope, better ones) soon.
: Last week, when there was much talk about what the tsunami videos mean to the future of citizens video online and on TV, I said outlined to both the Wall Street Journal and On The Media (transcript here) why I think the elements have come together for the explosion of TV. I've said it before but it keeps getting truer:
1. Cheap equipment. The cameras are getting better and costing less while the audience's tolerance for quality (thanks to warfront satphones) is decreasing and those lines are crossing so yuou can produce video that's good enough for not much money.
2. Easy tools. See Visual Communicator, above. See Mac tools.
With cheap and easy equipment and tools, anybody can create credible video inexpensively.
3. Distribution. Bandwidth and hosting are expensive. Bandwidth costs are coming down. But BitTorrent solves the problem by spreading the cost of serving across the audience and it will soon be ready for prime time. Add RSS (a la podcasting) and the ability to subscribe to a show and get it in the background. Add ubiquitous wireless broadband, coming soon. Jon Stewart's Crossfire rant is the proof of the pudding: It got a few hundred thousand viewers on big, old CNN — and if you missed it, you missed it — but on BitTorrent and iFilm, it got at least five or six million viewers.
The new, distributed network is far more powerful that the old, closed network. And note well that this is the network nobody owns.
4. Search. The last problem was finding the video. But thanks to metadata on blogs, among other things, you'll be able to find video. The tsunami videos are the proof of that.
In the old days of TV, a few months ago, if you wanted to make a show you had to have expensive equipment and expertise and if you wanted the show to be found, you had to know a guy named Rupert and have a fortune for marketing.
In the future of exploding TV, a few months away, anybody can create video programming and do it inexpensively with new equipment and tools; they can distribute it online and they can "market" it (that is, it can be found) thanks to metadata and search and links. All this levels the playing field.
I feel the need for a Death of Networks summit. Coffee's on me.
: Finally, see many of my posts on exploding TV here (can I claim any credit for coining that?) and some related posts on a place for my stuff here. See posts on exploding TV all over the internet here.
The fuse is lit.
: UPDATE: Chris Anderson has a followup post here and promises more. Hell, this could be a book… Oh, yeah, it's going to be.
: Steven Johnson — who's also writing a related book I've had the privilege of reading … and it's great! — has a magnificent post today from an earlier book, Emergence, in which he predicted much of this. Make sure to read the entire excerpt and especially his refinements — namely that he thought ratings (a la /., eBay, et al) would be the organizing principle of this while Chris and I see this as an extension of blogs (which were merely a mewling babe when Steven wrote Emergence): It's still about the judgment of the public, not the media executives, but that judgment is captured not in ratings but in conversation. Great distillation of what's happened. A snip from the book:
But TiVo and Replay — and their descendants — will also fall under the sway of self-organization. By 2005, not only will every television set come with a digital hard drive — all those devices will also be connected via the Web to elaborate, Slashdot-style filtered communities. Every program broadcast on any channel will be rated by hundreds of thousands of users, and the TiVo device will look for interesting overlap between your ratings and the larger community of television watchers worldwide. You'll be able to build a personalized network without even consulting the channel guide. And this network won't necessarily follow the ultra-personalization model of the "Daily Me." Using self-organizing filters like the ones already on display at Amazon or Epinions, clusters of like-minded TV watchers will appear online. You might find yourself joining several different clusters, sorted by different categories: retirement home senior citizens; West Village residents; GenXers; lacrosse fanatics. Visit the channel guide for each cluster, and you'll find a full lineup of programming, stitched together out of all the offerings available across the spectrum.
Despite the prevailing conventional wisdom, the death of the network programmer does not augur the death of communal media experiences. If anything, our media communities will grow stronger because they will have been built from below. Instead of a closed-door decision on West 57th Street re-branding CBS as the "Tiffany Network," a cluster of senior citizens will form organically, and its constituents will participate far more directly in deciding what gets top billing on the network homepage. To be sure, our media communities will grow smaller than they were in the days of "All In The Family" and "Mary Tyler Moore" — but they'll be realcommunities, and not artificial ones conjured up by the network programmers.
The torture of fellow bloggers in Iran
: My fellow bloggers, we must keep the attention and heat on the torture and censorship of our colleagues in Iran.
My fellow journalists, we must defend the human rights of our bloging colleagues there.
The latest story says the Iranian judiciary is condemning the bloggers who said they were being tortured — and mind you, they said this via the former vice-president of Iran, a blogger himself (whose own blog was blocked after he wrote about this). Says the AP:
Iran's hard-line judiciary on Tuesday denounced journalists who claimed they were tortured into making confessions, saying the newsmen were inciting people against the government.
More than 20 journalists from print, Internet and other media outlets have been detained since September in a crackdown on the pro-reform press.
Several of the journalists told a presidential commission last month they were tortured into confessing to charges such as insulting sacred beliefs and endangering national security after publishing articles critical of conservatives in the government.
"My interrogator punched me in the head and stomach and kicked me in the back many times to force me confess to having illegal sex and endangered national security through my writings," [said Hanif Mazrouei, one of the Web bloggers detained].
Mazrouei spent 66 days in solitary confinement and was blindfolded most of the time. No official charges were brought against him. He and the others have been freed but are frequently summoned to court.

American Airlines has apologised to Brazil for one of its pilots who was detained at Sao Paulo airport, fined 36,000 reals ($A16,400) and later released after making an obscene gesture when he was fingerprinted and photographed.
Federal police in Sao Paulo said Dale Robin Hirsch, 52, a pilot on American's Miami-Sao Paulo flight, raised his middle finger in the classic gesture as his photo was being taken by airport security personnel.
"He made an internationally recognised obscene gesture to the police who were photographing him," federal police spokesman Wagner Castilho said.
Mr Castilho said Hirsch had been detained for "a serious offence" which could have brought a prison term of up to two years.
But federal prosecutor Matheus Baraldi Magnani said he asked a local magistrate to impose a fine rather than go to trial, for what he termed Hirsch's "insulting behaviour".
Taking into account "the pilot's financial circumstances and his insult to national pride and the federal police", the judge fined Hirsch an amount equal to 150 times the Brazilian minimum monthly wage.
He said American Airlines agreed to pay Hirsch's fine, which would be contributed to a social service organisation.
Hirsch, although released from custody on Wednesday, would not be allowed to leave Brazil until American Airlines' cheque cleared, court sources said.
American Airlines issued a statement apologising for the incident.
"The company apologises to the Brazilian Government, to the port authorities, to the federal police, and to whoever else feels they were disrespected," it said, stressing that the captain "did not intend any disrespect."
The United States has protested since Brazil ordered the security checks on all Americans in a tit-for-tat response to the US move to photograph and fingerprint all people entering the US on a visa.
Press reports said other members of the 12 American Airlines crew also caused problems during the identity checks and were refused entry and taken away by police. Their plane was to return to the US on Wednesday.
The city of Rio de Janeiro has fought against the checks on US citizens. On Tuesday it started handing out roses and a T-shirt with the slogan "Rio loves you" to arriving Americans.

Hi all,
i'm new of m0n0wall but i think it's great!
Just a little question: i need to connect some pc out of the office with
Gprs / Umts connctions (also Adsl...) to control remote desktops inside the
m0n0wall network.
Usually we connect the external computers with isdn or analog connections,
run an ipsec client and the vpn works good (it's possible to control every
pc on the internal network with tight VNC), but if we try with adsl or
gprs/umts connection nothing happens... i mean, the IPSec autentication
works but i can't ping or controle nothing on the internal network.
Any suggestion?

MWL notes: Indians' Frazier finding his way
Captains center fielder incorporating advice from Major Leaguer Moss
By Curt Rallo / Special to MiLB.com | May 1, 2014 12:00 PM ET
It seemed so easy.
Cleveland Indians first-round Draft pick Clint Frazier, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound right-handed-hitting center fielder, stepped to the plate last summer for his first at-bat as a professional in the Arizona Rookie League.
He swung and the ball sailed over the outfield fence.
Frazier, who opened the 2013 season at Loganville (Ga.) High School with six homers in seven games, thought the pro game would be just as easy to figure out after that first at-bat in Arizona.
"I thought I was going to go on and hit about 30 homers after that," Frazier said of this pro debut. "I only hit five."
Frazier, grounded in reality and owning a better understanding of the challenges of pro ball, has only played 13 games this season, held back after suffering a hamstring injury in his first Spring Training appearance. He's 11-for-49 with two triples and a double in his full-season debut for the Lake County Captains, still searching for his first long ball.
Lake County manager Mark Budzinski warned it's far too early to assess Frazier's hitting but that the 19-year-old possesses that rare combination of speed and power.
"He's got five tools," Budzinski said of Frazier. "He's coachable. He listens. He asks a lot of questions, which I like. You don't always get that from someone who's never failed before.
"Coming from college is one thing, but high school, maybe you're playing 18 or 20 games. Here, you do that in three weeks. The biggest thing for him is learning about the grind of the season and knowing your body, knowing what pitchers are trying to do to you at the plate, how to position yourself in the field. There's a lot you have to learn."
Frazier said he got a heads-up on what to expect in pro ball from Oakland's Brandon Moss, who also played ball at Loganville High. Moss started talking to Frazier early on about life in baseball and how to handle different situations.
"Brandon Moss reached out to me at a young age, and he saw my potential and that I had the opportunity to do something," Frazier said. "As I started to get older, he talked to me about the Minor League life and what the Draft process would be like. I can't say 'thank you' enough to him."
Moss' high school coaches told him that the red-haired, freckle-faced Frazier would be breaking all of his offensive records. Indeed, Frazier broke every one, except batting average.
"My coaches never told me they said that to Brandon about me until I got drafted," Frazier said. "They tried to knock me off cloud nine as many times as they could, to make me realize I'm human and I'm not better than anybody else just because of who I am or what I've accomplished, and I don't feel that way at all."
Frazier said he's learning to deal with the challenges of professional baseball.
"I think a lot of it comes with maturity," Frazier said of handling adversity. "I have to be able to come out here and handle the failure and success and be able to mask when I'm struggling and make it look like I'm not struggling. I think going through the Draft process helped me mature as a young man."
Budzinski loves the effort and potential.
"Clint's been doing a great job," Budzinski said. "He's working hard and having some good at-bats. He's going to be a heck of a ballplayer.
"When you have his kind of power and his kind of speed … that's what gets you a first pick with the Indians organization. He runs well. His outfield play is improving every day. He's got pop in his bat, and he's got quick hands. He's a special player."
In brief
Streaking: Peoria's Nick Petree pitched 17 scoreless innings over his first three starts, the longest season-opening scoreless streak by a Peoria pitcher since Justin Pope pitched 17 2/3 scoreless to start the 2002 campaign. Petree pitched 38 1/3 scoreless innings in a row for Missouri State in 2012, the year he led NCAA Division I pitchers with a 1.01 ERA and was named the Louisville Slugger Player of the Year.
Road warriors: Great Lakes is only 5-8 at home this season but 9-2 on the road. The Loons are thriving at the plate away from Dow Diamond, hitting .281 on the road versus .258 at home. Great Lakes has hit seven of its nine homers on the road. Great Lakes pitchers are also performing better on the road with a 3.45 ERA versus a 4.85 ERA at home.
No-hitter nemesis: Three different South Bend pitchers -- Braden Shipley, Blake Perry and Aaron Blair -- took no-hitters into the seventh inning in a stretch of four games. Shipley's no-hit bid came against Dayton and ended with the leadoff batter in the seventh. Lake County's Anthony Santander broke up both Perry and Blair's attempts, each time with two outs. "Anthony broke up two no-hitters in three days," Lake County manager Mark Budzinski said. "He's got two broken bats to show for it, but we'll take it."

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – December 11, 2012 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include Merck (MRK), Pfizer (PFE), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Sanofi (SNY) and Bayer (BAYRY).
Get the most recent insight from Zacks Equity Research with the free Profit from the Pros newsletter: http://at.zacks.com/?id=5513
Here are highlights from Monday's Analyst Blog:
Merck's Alzheimer's Drug Progresses
Merck (MRK) recently moved its Alzheimer's disease candidate, MK-8931, into a phase II/III study (:EPOCH). The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of MK-8931, an oral β-amyloid precursor protein site-cleaving enzyme (:BACE) inhibitor, in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease patients.
Three oral doses of MK-8931 will be compared to placebo in the 78-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, double-blind study. The safety profile of the candidate will be evaluated in 200 patients before phase III studies are initiated.
We view MK-8931 as a high risk-high return candidate for Merck. The successful development of therapies for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease is challenging and we note that several companies have failed in developing treatments for the same.
Companies like Pfizer (PFE) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) have all faced setbacks in their efforts to develop a treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
The Alzheimer's disease market, however, represents huge commercial potential and therefore attracts a lot of interest. A successfully developed product could generate billions of dollars in sales once launched. As per data provided by the Alzheimer's Association, approximately 5.4 million people have Alzheimer's disease in the US alone.
Neutral on Merck
We currently have a Neutral recommendation on Merck, which carries a Zacks #3 Rank (Hold). While headwinds remain in the form of the Singulair genericization, EU pricing pressure, unfavorable currency movement, US health care reform, the Remicade/Simponi transition and pipeline setbacks, some of the company's recent launches should start contributing significantly to the top line in the forthcoming quarters.
Large-cap pharma stocks currently holding a Zacks #2 Rank (Buy) include companies like Sanofi (SNY) and Bayer (BAYRY).

Anh Vu, 21, of 67−37 Selfridge St. in Forest Hills, posted a 2006 Nissan 350−Z on the Web site Craigslist that was sold for parts to the victim, who lives in Illinois, for $5,200 March 3, according to the criminal complaint.
Vu allegedly told the victim the car was being sold for parts because it was not registered or insured, the complaint said.
Vu gave the victim a VIN number for the car, which the victim checked out, and found the car was not reported stolen.
But the car that was delivered to the victim had a different VIN number, which was checked through a Web site and found to be reported stolen Aug. 22 in Connecticut.
Vu was arraigned last Thursday before Queens Criminal Court Judge Ira Margulis on charges of grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, scheme to defraud and unauthorized use of a vehicle, the spokeswoman said.
Vu was released on his own recognizance. His next court date is scheduled for March 15.

Coffee shops turn into private clubs for locals30 May 2011, by IamExpat Spotter
The Dutch government is finalising the plan to turn coffee shops into private clubs for locals in order to reduce drug tourism.
According to the Cabinet's new measures, entering cafes selling small amounts of cannabis will only be allowed to Dutch citizens or those legally residing in the Netherlands and are over 18.
Adequate measures will also be taken to minimise street dealing even though the City Council of Amsterdam opposes the move, arguing it will increase criminality and reduce public safety.
Note that border towns (such as Maastricht) have already restricted the sale of cannabis to tourists / foreigners, while in others (such as Roosendaal) coffee shops were shut down.

Such a wonderful way to re-criminalize weed, create problems on the streets and decrease the quality of products. I'm so disappointed in you, Amsterdam.
May 31 2011, 02:18PM
Don't be disappointed in Amsterdam, but in the Dutch right-wing government. The mayor of Amsterdam is against this new regulation!
Yes, you're right. Then I'm so disappointed in you, crazy right-wing government! WHat next? Abolish gay marriage?

Hello, I was going to take a vacation there in the next two weeks but am not going to if can't enjoy the singular pleasure of smoking Amsterdams finest... already getting enough grief from the girlfriend over the Red Light district and too many other places in Europe to visit... What's the deal? If I show up in 2 weeks will I be able to enjoy the "old" Amsterdam? I'm really hoping so... MJ isn't the only reason for visiting by far, but it does help justify the plane trip and high cost of living there to some degree.
It will probably take time before this goes into effect; it will take some organization. In two weeks you should be fine!
May 31 2011, 11:15PM
I'll cross my fingers than... thanks :)
Especially the border communities have had a lot of problems with drug tourists from Germany and Belgium getting stoned and then vandalizing or driving under the influence. I can understand that they want to restrict it to the locals. However, this will probably open new 'business opportunities' to the locals who sell the dope they can buy to the tourists in the streets. It's one of the many examples for how isolated local or national policies are difficult to defend when the neighboring areas/ countries don't play along. If Germany and Belgium would legalize it too, (and their neighbors too), the problem would be completely out of the way. As it is, there is no good way to make it work.
the bohem sense that once Amsterdam had, starts shrinking... yes, they will take drug tourism out of the way. they have to find other ways to restrict drug tourism and vandalizing. Amsterdam is world famous for it's tolerant view and now? then what?
Loaded Tourist, I am not 100% sure, about seeing the 'old' Amsterdam or not, but I bet if you contacted local tourism in Amsterdam and/or some coffee shops they could give you an answer. My local coffee shop in a different province has given us until May before we need a weed pass. With the ABUNDANCE of coffee shops in Amsterdam, I doubt you will have a problem getting what your looking for.

"Fair use" encouraged.
A Paragraph:
Piper explains, on p. 87, why we cling to our most cherished beliefs:"Doubt entails self-examination because a check on the plausibility of your beliefs and attitudes is a check on all the constitutents of the slef. Explanations of why your falsely supposed "X" includes your motives for believing "X" (your desire to maintain a relationship, your impulse to be charitable, your goal of becoming a better person); the causes of your believing "X" (your early training, your having drunk too much, your innate disposition to to optimism); and your objective reasons for believing "X" (it's consistent with your other beliefs, it explains the most data, it's inductively confirmed, people you respect believe it). . . ."
Adrian Piper, Ideology, Confrontation, and Political Self-Awareness. At p. 87 in The Citizen Artist, The Critical Press, 1998. ISBN: 1883831-10-5
Now, that sounds a little different from our traditional sociological explanations, doesn't it? But notice how much easier it is to read and take notes, when you compile the information into a table like that below. You don't have to get fancy. When there's lots of information, crammed all together into a long and unforgiving paragraph, see if you can't break it into levels, as I did here. Notes like this will make the material much easier to study, if you've got to commit some or all of the information to memory. It will also make it easier to find things quickly in an open-book test, Heaven forfend.
The Notes Taken:
Motives for believing:
- "your desire to maintain a relationship"
- "your impulse to be charitable"
- "your goal of becoming a better person"
Causes for believing:
- "your early training"
- "your having drunk too much"
- "your innate disposition to optimism"
Objective reasons for believing"
- "it's consistent with your other beliefs"
- "it explains the most data"
- "it's inductively confirmed"
- "people you respect believe it"
By the way, moving some of the information into titles, and some into sub-groups is a very simple practical example of Ausubel's advance organizer. Ausubel insisted that pulling out organizers and highlighting them would make learning more effective. Does it work for you? If so, don't forget to use it in your note taking.
Discussion Questions
Another Paragraph:
- Here is one of Adrian Piper's concluding paragraphs about our denial of that which contradicts our beliefs, wherever we got them from and for whatever reasons:"The result is blindness to the genuine needs of other people, coupled with the arrogant and dangerous conviction that you understand those needs better than they do; and a consequent inability to respond to those needs politically in genuinely effective ways.
The antidote, I suggest, is confrontation of the sinner with the evidence of the sin; the rationalizations; the subconscious defense mechanisms; the strategies of avoidance, denial, dismissal and withdrawal that signal, on the one hand, the retreat of the self to the protective enclave of ideology, on the other hand, precisely the proof of subjectivity and fallibility that the ideologue is so anxious to ignore.
The success of the antidote increases with the specificity of the confrontation. . . . "
Adrian Piper, Ideology, Confrontation, and Political Self-Awareness. At p. 91 in The Citizen Artist, The Critical Press, 1998. ISBN: 1883831-10-5
Your Table of Note Taking:
Create a table for your notes on this paragraph.
- Consider the following: Piper speaks of the harm that comes of our denial of what contradicts our beliefs. She spaks of the antidote. And she speaks of the specificity of the antidote.e
- Within the discussion of harm she speaks of arrogance, of danger, and of inability.
- Within the discussion of antidote she speaks of confrontation with: evidence, rationalizations, subconscious defense mechanisms, strategies of avoidance, denial, withdrawal.
- Within the discussion of the success of the antidote she speaks of the importance of specificity.
Notice that using sentences for notes is not as clear to review as a table.

Although New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning was left off the NFL's Top 100 list for the first time since 2011, he has been listed as No. 41 overall on the The Times-Picayune's All-Time Top 51 Athletes from Louisiana list.
"Eli just always went about his business quietly," Archie Manning once said. "In high school, he'd score 16 or 18 points one night in a basketball game, and then the next game not even take two shots. It never even bothered him. He just wanted to win."
For Eli, that's all football has ever been about: winning. He has never cared much about his statistics, records or the perception of him. Rather, all he's ever been determined to do was win for himself and win for his teammates. It's something that dates back to his childhood and something that was on display during his very first day at Ole Miss.
"I didn't come to Ole Miss to live up my Dad's name or Peyton's name," Eli said at the time. "I'm trying to make my own name, and all I care about is wins and losses."
In addition to Manning, former New York Giants kicker Morten Anderson (2001) also made the Louisiana's All-Time Top 51 Athletes List, coming in at No. 51 overall.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
"Within the body of this complaint there is a mention of American Income Life Insurance Company. Although our company does offer no cost Child Safe kits to consumers and they are endorsed by three different professional organizations, American Income has no affiliation with NDI who the complaint is against and the issues outlined in the report are not related to our company."
NDI, Inc. hired me to work at events around the central Florida area. They informed me that they were giving away Free Child Safe kits and they were endorsed by the police. (Namely, the International Police Association (IPA)). A small team of reps attend public events and scour the event for parents who didnt have a child ID kit and sign them up for it. They take their name, address and phone number and tell them that they "will receive your kit(s) in 2 to 3 weeks. What they don't tell the parent is that they will be called by American Income Life to determine if they have a checking or savings account and if so, they will send a high pressure insurance sales person to the parent's door using the Child ID kit as the way to get inside the house.
They are also telling people and it is displayed on the director's business card, that they are endorsed by the IPA, International Police Association. They are NOT. They are endorsed by the IUPA which is the International UNION of Police Associations which is part of the AFL-CIO. It seems the AIL, American Income Life, has a subsidiary in NY state that caters to ONLY the IUPA and that's the reason they endorse this "kit". No other police organizations endorse this kit from this company.
This company, NDI, also claims to pay their "employees, $1 per card they have filled out at each event. The director says she will pay minimum wage if the rep doesn't collect enough cards to equal minimum wage. I worked for 6 1/2 hours on Saturday 5/12/12 and I was told I would roughly make $18.00. I know I collected at least 40 cards, but $18 is not even close to minimum wage. I was terminated when I questioned why I cannot find out how much I made. I was told I have to wait until the 15th or the 30th of the month. I persisted so they gave in and gave me a figure. The director also never had any of her "employees" fill out the required documentation, ie; W4, I-9 etc... Nor did the director ever look at my ID or take my SS#.

Reviews for Hearty Shepherd's Pie
Average Rating
"This is the best shepherds pie I've ever had. The rosemary really gives it a unique flavor. Very savory. And the mashed potatoes on top were sooo good. My son couldn't wait for it to be done and he gobbled it up!"
"I was undecided about what to make for dinner & came across this recipe. I changed a few things--made the mashed potatoes, added more water & mixed vegs, no rosemary. It came out delicious & comforting. My son who is a picky eater asked me to make it for him again the next day. If it passes muster with him, it's a winner!"
"Delicious, easy to make. My fiance and I loved it!!"
"I loved, loved, loved this recipe. I thought all the ingredients went well together. My husband, on the other hand, said it was just ok. I don't think he cared for the flavor of the dried rosemary. Oh well, leaves more for me! The only thing I changed was I used the frozen peas and carrots instead of canned."
"I have been looking for a great shepherd's pie recipe for a long time. this one is great! my kids even loved it :) i cant wait to make this again. also i used thyme instead of rosemary"
"Delicious recipe! I modified it to exclude the rosemary and used cream of potato soup instead. it was a huge hit with the family!"
"A great way to use up extra mashed potatoes. The whole family enjoyed it."
"This was really good! I did use fresh mushrooms and cooked them with the beef and onions instead of canned mushrooms. As others have stated, the only thing I would change is maybe use less salt. There's so much flavor it doesn't really need it."
"My husband raved about this recipe last night. I used thawed frozen peas & carrots as I thought the canned ones would be to mushy. Also, I omitted the salt and used unsalted mushrooms, then increased the pepper. Can't wait for a cool fall night to eat this by the fire!"
"This was very good."
"This Shepherd's pie was great. Loved using the Rosemary and the mashed potatos were yummy with the cream cheese and sour cream. Next time I will definately cut down the salt and then this will be perfect!"

The Leap*
I thought I knew
what quick was
until I saw
a red-tailed squirrel
shoot the limbs
of a sycamore
and bough-spring up
the soft bark skin
of a birch so fast
you missed if you
blinked an eye.
What does he ride
when he skates the sky
with a soundless
flick of his feet?
What lifts him
so swiftly through
canopies of air
you only see
trembling leaves
brushed by the hint
of his passing?
The secret
of his finesse
is less the dash
than the double-take:
would that my
footsteps could
find the wind,
reach heaven.

Tex Beneke Biography
Gordon Beneke, 12 February 1914, Fort Worth, Texas, USA, d. 31 May 2000, Costa Mesa, California, USA. Starting out on soprano saxophone, Beneke switched to tenor, working with various bands in the south-west. In 1938, he joined Glenn Miller where, in addition to featured tenor, he was also a regular vocalist. Beneke sang with engaging charm, if limited ability, on such classic hits as I Gotta Gal In Kalamazoo, Dont Sit Under The Apple Tree, and Chattanooga Choo Choo. Strongly influenced by the driving, big-toned tradition of Texas tenors, Benekes playing added a jazz flavour to many Miller dance hits, including In The Mood and String Of Pearls, on which he duetted with fellow tenor Al Klink. At the outbreak of World War II, Beneke worked with Millers singing group, the Modernaires, then joined the US Navy where he played in a navy band. After the war, following Millers death, Beneke was invited by Millers executors to direct the Miller orchestra. In 1950, he relinquished this role but continued to lead his own band which, not surprisingly, played Miller-style music and enjoyed several chart hits on the RCA - Victor Records label. He continued leading bands into the 90s, bringing unfailing good humour and enthusiasm to a somewhat overexposed corner of popular music.

The woman was told 911 is for emergencies, and she was given the Barrie police phone number, 705-725-7025 to call in the future.

Tzipi Livni has re-entered Israeli politics at the head of a new left-of-center political party.
Livni, former head of the Kadima Party, announced Nov. 26 that she would lead a new party called Hatnua, or the Movement.
"I'm here to fight for peace, for security, for a Jewish Israel, for a democratic Israel, for a country whose citizens all have equal rights," Livni said at a news conference in Tel Aviv.
In forming her own party, Livni turned down offers to join the leadership of two existing political parties. Yair Lapid, head of the new Yesh Atid party, said he had offered Livni to be his No. 2, and called on her not to split the centrist bloc further.
Labor chairman Shelly Yachimovich had also called on Livni to join the Labor Party.
Livni has one week to present her Knesset candidates list. It is believed that several Livni supporters from the Kadima Party will follow her to the new party. She is also talking to several high-profile public figures about joining her, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported, including former top Israel Defense Force officers Shlomo Yanai, Yitzhak Ben-Israel and Amram Mitzna. — jta

9 responses to "Jessica Simpson Bikini Photos: 'Dukes of Hazzard'"
Because looking hot as hell in a pink bikini has nothing on chugging beer & eating corn dogs all the live long day….and even as big as a manatee she still pulls in a monster paycheck. Well done big blondie!
The sister is now the hot one but Jess got the cash.
This was Jessica at her peak – never to be reached again. A perfect female specimen. Nick Lachey had that – the lucky bastard.
Not digging visible ribs, but otherwise this was perfection.
I can't believe we live in a world where this once happened. It seems surreal looking at these pictures.
In that dukes music video at the end when she's in that bikini washing the car… One of the most curvy beautiful bodies I've ever seen.
she could probably get there again, or close. kate hudson gained 80 pounds in her pregnancy and got a great body back.
she could, but I doubt she will.
It's such a mindfuck to me that, five years ago, I used to watch Jessica Simpson videos as part of my diet scheme to guilt/hate myself into losing weight. I jokingly said that someday I would look better than Jessica Simpson, but holy shit I never thought that day would actually come, you know? Same with Britney, for that matter…
I miss those beautiful ribs.
She should hang this picture on the frig for inspiration!!

Crashes call X Games' safety into question
ASPEN, Colo. — The image was chilling: Snowmobile rider Caleb Moore, launched over his handlebars on a backflip gone wrong, rolled down the landing hill with his 450-pound machine somersaulting behind him.
Run over by his sled, Moore lay on the snow for several minutes before being helped off the course. As of Wednesday, he was hospitalized in critical condition because of bleeding around his heart and a complication involving his brain.
Moore's was the worst accident at the Winter X Games, which wrapped up Sunday night, but it wasn't the only harrowing moment. The wipeouts included a runaway snowmobile that sent spectators scrambling. All that has some wondering whether dialing up the difficulty each year improves action sports or has simply made them too dangerous.
"Should we be asking these questions? We absolutely should be," said Dan Lebowitz, executive director of Sport in Society at Northeastern University, which examines the role of sports to promote healthy development and social responsibility.
The people performing these superhuman feats "really are just human," he said. "How do we maintain safety in that progression when that progression sometimes pushes every envelope to some amazingly extreme point?"
Moore's injuries underscore the dangers at Winter X, which was filled with numerous cover-your-eyes crashes.
Whether action sports are too dangerous is an issue that's been raised before.
When freestyle skier Sarah Burke died in a training accident a little more than a year ago in Park City, Utah, there were questions about the halfpipe. Two years earlier, the sport was examined when snowboarder Kevin Pearce suffered a severe brain injury in a fall in the same pipe as Burke. Pearce has recovered and served as an analyst at Winter X.
But in general, the athletes accept the risks and defend their disciplines.
"To lose Sarah was such a blow to this entire industry," said snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler, who didn't compete this year as she recovered from a serious eye injury she suffered in training. "This sport brings so much joy, happiness and balance to my life and that far outweighs what could happen. You can't ever live your life with what could happen."

The League runs through the summer months (March to November) and consists of two conferences; at the end of the regular season five teams from each conference go through to the play-offs. Then an elimination tournament ensues to find the winner of the MLS cup. Games in MLS take part at different days of the week but are usually on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and sometimes Wednesday.
The American league endured a slow start with the country mainly focused on Baseball, Basketball, and American football. However in recent years there has been a surge in popularity due in part to the restructuring of the brands appeal and also the ability to lure top players from European football such as David Beckham and Thierry Henry. This growth has also seen the MLS - which was once plagued by sub standard performances and non competitive matches- become a league of much higher quality and with more engaging games. This improvement is slowly trickling to Europe where the opinion on MLS is beginning to soften although it is still viewed as being below par standard. Many European teams are seeing the potential in the American market and are now operating pre season tours against the top MLS franchises.
