What Tight End on the Chiefs Current Roster Will Fans Be Raving About Come the End of the Season?By: William Bruno Not too long ago, if you were to listen to Mitch Holthus on The Kansas City Chiefs broadcast you would hear him yell "TOUCHDOWN, Kansas City Chiefs" which was quite often followed by, "TOUCHDOWN, Tony Gonzalez!!!" Since those days ...
After Charles, Who Will Stand Out On Offense In 2014?By: Nathan Shellstein Anyone who followed the Kansas City Chiefs last year understood that Jamaal Charles was the bulk of the offense. He figures to be a huge part again in 2014, but the team is hoping for a bit more help. Here is a look at the 3 be ...
You gotta be f—ing kidding me.
In a society that increasingly supports caged human ****fighting — aka MMA — has a proud history with boxing, cheers lustily whenever fights break out inside a hockey rink and builds Roman Empire-stylized coliseums for football games, a 320-pound, sweet-talking lineman has somehow convinced a segment of America that Chiefs fans are the sick and disgusting bad guys.
You gotta be f—ing kidding me.
You damn straight a small percentage of Chiefs fans cheered loudly when two overgrown Ravens knocked Matt Cassel smooth the hell out. Did we not cheer when Mike Tyson curb-stomped Michael Spinks? Google the knockout work that made Anderson Silva the MMA's most beloved star and tell me if you hear respectful silence or wild, joyful hysteria?
We love violence and Eric Winston's hypocritical *** is wealthy because he's relatively adept at inflicting it. The only thing all that unusual about the smattering of cheers that greeted Cassel's glazed-eyed trip to the turf is that his hometown fans gave life to the noise. And for that, you can blame Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, his boss, Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, and the escalating cost of being a sports fan in the era of shopping mall-amusement park stadiums.
Sickening? A smattering of cheers for an injured $66 million quarterback with a rating of 66.2 and a league-leading 14 turnovers?
No. No. What's sickening is how easily Winston, Kansas City's right tackle, deflected the national media from the real story. One of the most passionate fan bases in sports — Kansas City Chiefs fans — has been abused so thoroughly the last eight to 10 years that it is turning unruly. What happened Sunday inside Arrowhead Stadium is a result of the Hunt family's neglect of their fan base. This has been brewing since 1998, since Marty Schottenheimer courageously and justifiably realized he should move on after 10 years in Kansas City. From 1989 to 1998, Schottenheimer and his front-office partner Carl Peterson transformed Arrowhead Stadium from an empty parking lot into one of the coolest, most electric places on earth eight fall Sundays a year. Football Sundays in Kansas City became mini-holidays. The whole town wore red starting on Fridays. Tailgating at Arrowhead Stadium before games was Kansas City's No. 1 social activity.
I've watched NFL games at every venue. Nothing compared to Arrowhead Stadium during the Schottenheimer era. Nothing. The Chiefs never advanced to the Super Bowl, but Kansas City was the NFL's ground zero. The players, coaches and executives were treated like royalty.
The players, coaches, executives and ownership got spoiled. They didn't have to win it all to be treated as if they had. The Chiefs haven't won a playoff game since 1993. That's right. The Chiefs haven't won a playoff game in two decades. But the stadium was filled, the parking lot packed and Chiefs jerseys hung in seemingly every Kansas City closet so Lamar Hunt, Kansas City's Dallas-based owner, allowed Carl Peterson to hang around 10 years after Schottenheimer left, a good five years after it was painfully obvious Peterson's previous success was a result of Schottenheimer's brilliance. Most Chiefs fans concluded Hunt would've never allowed Peterson to linger for a decade if Hunt lived in Kansas City and felt the pain of each disappointing season as personally as Kansas City residents. Kansas Citians attached their identity to their professional football team. Joe Montana, Marcus Allen and Derrick Thomas made the typical, insecure Kansas Citian feel big time.
The stench of Peterson's last 10 years and Lamar Hunt's loyalty to Peterson are fueling Chiefs fans lack of patience with their successors, Scott Pioli and Clark Hunt. The situation is further exacerbated by KC's newly renovated stadium and the elevated cost associated with it. Chiefs fans are paying $27 to park, $200 for a club-level seat, $10 for beer and are watching teams with no reasonable shot at postseason success.
For the most part in today's NFL, no quarterback equals no shot.
Lamar Hunt and Carl Peterson could never pick a quarterback. In 20 years, they never drafted one in the first round. They preferred to sign someone else's veteran. Given a choice in the 1990s between benching an aloof, inconsistent and expensive Elvis Grbac and going with locker-room/fan favorite Rich Gannon, Hunt and Peterson let Gannon escape to Oakland, where he won a league MVP award, made four Pro Bowls and one Super Bowl appearance. Grbac eventually bounced to Baltimore and quit football. No one, besides Trent Dilfer, remembers Elvis Grbac.
Scott Pioli's first major personnel decision in Kansas City was giving Matt Cassel a franchise-quarterback contract despite his highly suspicious resume. Cassel never played at USC. He played one season at New England. Cassel is Pioli's original sin, the mistake that has haunted his four years in Kansas City. Pioli, the Bill Belichick disciple, saw in Cassel the second coming of Tom Brady. Pioli arrogantly and foolishly thought he'd discovered Brady in a bottle twice. Ha.
This year Cassel has been the worst starting quarterback in football. He's a turnover machine. He clearly lacks confidence. His arm strength is atrocious. His ball floats up before it moves ahead. He needs to be benched. Pioli won't allow it.
Before Sunday's game, a group of working-class Chiefs fans pooled their money to fly a banner over Arrowhead Stadium demanding that Hunt fire Pioli and bench Cassel. These people love their football team. Clark Hunt lives in Dallas. The fans are spending their money to get the attention of their absentee owner. They're afraid that Pioli-Hunt is going to be a replica of Peterson-Hunt. Their fears are justified. Pioli is a poor man's Peterson. Pioli is an embarrassingly insecure version of Peterson, a man with a bloated ego. Pioli masks his insecurity with a false bravado, a dictator's management approach and a constant desire to manipulate the media into believing he was the brains behind the Patriots dynasty.
Chiefs fans aren't having it. They want a real quarterback. They want the Cassel charade to end. Pioli's stubbornness forced a handful of Chiefs fans to spontaneously thank the Ravens for momentarily ending their Matt Cassel nightmare. I think America will survive.
It's easy for the national media to sit on their couches, inside their television studios or on their free, comfy press-box seats and preach polite decency to the working-class folks paying to watch their hijacked football team.
I won't do it. I was inside Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday as a Chiefs fan. I'm not the type to boo or cheer. But I want Pioli fired. Eric Winston, too.
How do you spin it now?
What is the excuse? Getting rid of that cancer of a coach Todd Haley was supposed to heal ALL. Now I see that Pitts offense is very successful and Big Ben is ranked #1 in several stats…POSITIVE STATS.
My guess is that Haley did not have to bring a sack of pacifiers with him when he rolled into PA.
Can't wait to hear!!!
I'm not saying this didn't hurt. In fact I'm pretty sure it did. However, he isn't hit in the head and it doesn't look to me like he went down fast enough to bounce his head off the ground and get a concussion.
I have seen him take much harder hits and bounce back up, and I am not going to act like he doesn't have heart. The only reason I ever started to like him when he first came to KC was because it was obvious he did.
To me it looks like he was just waiting to take a shot like this so he could come out. The guy knows we don't want him here anymore so what's the point.
The coaches know the guy is bad enough at QB to run Charles to death, but refuse to just pull him. That's insane.
Is this the cheering Chiefs' Winston blamed fans for? – KCTV5
Our D stand up and play in great level.
Our OL played pretty good.
Our RBs a doing pretty good job. I hope we can let JC rest time on time and not make it our only weapon.
Even Special Teams play well ..
But for sure it was pretty clear that OC and HC don't trust Cassel anymore.
Today game plan may be was take some heat off from Cassel. But I guess instead help him out. Make him look worse. 2 Ints .. and a fumble that kills Matt last chance for redemption.
Clearly on the drive he got hurt you can see that Cassel got fear, insecurity and most important he loose his teamates trust.
I see tru whole game Quinn with the Helmet On ready to get in. And As soon he get into the game ..
I can see a clearly change of mentality .. a SPARK ..
CONFIDENCE .. and DESIRE .. after being not able to throw a pass for so long. He look pretty good on his first attempt. May be deep inside Cassel's Teamates they were lookin' for Quinn to get in and show more confidence and provide more leadership than Matt actually shown thru all the game.
This week will be a Nightmare for Cassel, Romero and mostly Pioli.
Piolio IMO can't any more say there's no competition for Matt .. Isn't clearly that Cassel already lost the faith of their mates?
Quinn need to excel on practice .. and backup that spark WE all see when he take the controls at Offense.
If Matt is healthy and clear for play .. how long will be in the field? The pressure won't only come from the fans .. will come from the team itself.
I guess that Quinn will get a LOT of snaps this week.
and if he can keep that spark going at least we could become a competitive team.
IMO Pioli's job is already going down toilet, as soon as Quinn shows much more leadership than Cassel. He will be doomed.
Also I guess that Quinn will develop a better Passing distribution. Not only focus on D.Bowe .. J. Baldwin had show flashes .. and maybe all Jonathan needs was a different QB. Also if Quinn success JC could be NFL leading rusher.
What are your thoughts of that SPARK that teams showed with Quinn at QB..

I have got this weird problem that getchar wont function after two successive scanf's
I do know that scanf doesn't flush input stream, and can i get any other neat way to code this. where i can even take the input from the get char. i observed the same problem even while using "fgets" instead of getcharCode:#include <stdio.h> main(){ int a; int b; int c; scanf("%d",&a); scanf("%d",&b); while((c=getchar())!='\n') putchar(c); printf("%d %d",a,b); }

Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham calls for law change to force reformulation of popular items amid UK's rising obesity.
Food firms should face legal limits on how much fat, salt and sugar they can put in their products to save the NHS money and help tackle illness, Labour's health spokesman has proposed.
Andy Burnham, the shadow health secretary, said the "shocking" amount of sugar in many foodstuffs was hidden from consumers, but was so great that ministers had to intervene. He is the first senior politician in Britain to argue for government regulation of the food industry to force through the widespread reformulation of products. The issue is highly sensitive for manufacturers since they are aware that a consumer backlash against changes to the flavour of foods could affect company profits.
Burnham said: "Consumers need more help to choose health. But there should be some maximums for sugar, salt and fat. I think I have been persuaded of the case for this.
"Voluntary efforts [by producers to reformulate] have not worked and it's time for a different approach. There are some products on the market that are so full of salt, sugar or fat they are unacceptable and they have to be brought in line. The amount of sugar in many cereals is shocking."
He said he was worried that large amounts of sugar and fat, in foods such as bread and breakfast cereals, were fuelling the UK's rising obesity levels. Research in February by the consumer group Which? found that the breakfast cereal Kellogg's Frosties was made up of 37% sugar, while Waitrose's Honey Nut Corn Flakes were 33.6% sugar, and Special K, marketed by Kellogg's as a healthy choice, had a 17% sugar content.
"If you have maximum amounts and reduce the sugar or salt in the formulated product then people can choose if they want to sprinkle some on top – they are conscious of what they are doing – whereas if it's in the formulated product it's much harder to control," said Burnham. He stressed that he was speaking in a personal capacity ahead of a Labour review of its public health stance and that compulsory reformulation was not party policy.
Burnham said he had become convinced of the need for mandatory reformulation partly by the 10-minute rule bill presented by the former Labour minister, Keith Vaz, which sought to force soft drinks manufacturers to cut the frequently llarge amounts of sugar in their products.
Ben Bradshaw, the former Labour culture secretary, recently argued for the introduction of "fat taxes" on foods that are classed as high in fat, sugar or salt, following the line of European countries such as Denmark, France and Hungary.
Burnham opposes such measures, saying they would hit the poorest hardest. "The tax route puts the onus on consumers rather than the manufacturers. You aren't focusing your efforts on the creator of the problem, which is the manufacturer – so we have to start with them."
But the food industry dismissed Burnham's idea as unrealistic and hugely complicated. Barbara Gallani, director of food safety and science at the Food and Drink Federation, which represents the industry, said: "To introduce regulation would be a very lengthy process and could negatively impact the excellent voluntary work that is underway to change recipes." "It would also be hugely complex as any prescriptive reduction in nutrients would need to be accompanied by a thorough examination of all aspects of each product on the market including safety, as, for example, salt is a natural preservative. which represents the industry.
"Such an approach could paradoxically undermine public health by, in effect, the banning of products that actually contribute to a healthy diet. Whilst a product such as raisins can contribute to one of five-a-day portions of fruit and vegetables, it could be classed as high sugar."
Cheese could also fall foul of legal limits due to the fat, salt and saturated fat it contained, she said.
Health charities gave Burnham's call a cool reception. Mubeen Bhutta, policy manager at the British Heart Foundation, said the foundation supported legislation to ban the advertising of junk food on television before the 9pm watershed, to reduce children's exposure and also to crack down on the online marketing of foods high in salt, sugar or fat, but it wanted renewed voluntary efforts to re-formulate products not legislation.
Katherine Jenner, a nutritionist, who is campaign director of Consensus Action on Salt and Health, said: "If we were to regulate it would take five to 10 years because it would be a very complicated thing to do. I support it but I think it's not politically feasible."
Jenner said that Jeremy Hunt, the health secretary, should instead employ strong leadership to encourage producers to undertake much needed food re-formulation.
A government source said: "This is completely hypocritical of Andy Burnham. Labour had 13 years to regulate on this but chose not to. Through the responsibility deal we have for the first time seen wide-ranging action to help people eat fewer calories, which is better progress than Labour made during their whole time in office."

PRETORIA – South African Paralympic icon and Olympian Oscar Pistorius was freed on bail Friday, pending a high-profile trial for shooting dead his girlfriend.
Pretoria magistrate Desmond Nair ruled the "Blade Runner" was not a flight risk and did not pose a danger to society after an emotionally charged four-day bail hearing that transfixed South Africa and the world.
"I come to the conclusion that the accused has made a case to be released on bail," Nair said to cries of "yes!" from Pistorius' supporters in court.
Pistorius later left the court in a silver sports utility vehicle flanked by photographers and cameramen on motorbikes.
It was a first victory in what is expected to be a long legal battle with the state, which accuses Pistorius of the premeditated murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
Bail was set at 1 million rand ($112,800) and Pistorius will have to surrender his passport and firearms, as well as report to Pretoria's Brooklyn police between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. Mondays and Fridays.
As the two-hour ruling was read, the 26-year-old stood in the dock weeping and quivering as his family looked on, riven with tension. Following the magistrate's decision, Pistorius was escorted to the holding area sobbing uncontrollably, as his brother Carl hugged sister Aimee and the broader family huddled in prayer.
"We are relieved by the fact that Oscar got bail today, but at the same time, we are in mourning for Reeva Steenkamp and her family," said Arnold Pistorius, the athlete's uncle and family spokesman. "As a family, we know Oscar's version of what happened that night, and we know that it is the truth that will prevail in the coming court case."
Pistorius will head to a relative's house rather than return to the Pretoria estate where Steenkamp was killed. "He doesn't want to go back to the house," said his attorney, Barry Roux.

An Open Letter to the Arizona Public Service Company
Dear Chairman and Commissioners:
We missed it on this one — not because a fee was implemented or because that fee was too high or too low. We missed it because we didn't do enough to uncover the true effects, both positive and/or negative, of distributed rooftop solar.
APS initiated this process with one fundamental goal in mind: to set a precedent in determining that distributed rooftop solar, owned by parties other than APS, results in a cost shift among rate payers. Their secondary goal was to simultaneously implement a fee imposed on solar customers, but they knew that the underlying issue was to achieve a public acknowledgement of the cost shift. With that, they have opened the door for future fees and determinations in their favor against non-utility-owned solar. They have taken what they feel is a pragmatic approach to shutting down competition, and we will see the same public relations tactics during the 2015 rate case when net metering takes center stage again.
Though APS was disappointed that the sun tax was not higher, they immediately seized the opportunity to continue their propaganda campaign. In a letter I received from APS following the Commission's decision, they reiterated that our officials feel there is a cost shift and that the decision is only a "step in reforming Arizona's net metering policy". In other words, APS openly intends to continue the fight to penalize the installation of customer-owned electricity generation. Here is the full APS excerpt:
"The ACC in its decision determined that the existing net metering program creates a cost shift and causes non-solar customers to pay higher rates to cover the costs of maintaining the electric grid. This is what prompted APS to propose net metering reforms earlier this year. ACC Staff and the Residential Utility Consumer Office, among others, also agreed that a cost shift exists. Yesterday's decision is an important step in reforming Arizona's net metering policy to benefit all customers."
Frankly, APS' unethical dark money campaigns administered by Prosper and 60 Plus were successful. They essentially influenced the Commission to take APS' word for it, that there is a cost shift hurting non-solar customers. APS requested the implementation of an astronomical fee to divert our attention from their true objective. One APS executive openly admitted to me that they never intended or expected a fee remotely close to their initial proposals, likening their proposed fee to a negotiating tactic.
Proof of APS' success came within the first few minutes of Thursday's day-long session when Chairman Stump asserted, "There seems to be a consensus that there is in fact a cost shift." Court Rich, representing the Solar Energy Industries Association immediately responded, "The idea that there's been a consensus that there is a cost shift is just false, and I think it really underlines one of the issues with this whole process….There is no consensus and the process here is that [APS is] trying to get you to rush to judgement." Rich went on to explain that the solar industry experts that prepared an in-depth report in response to APS' own self-funded report were not even able to take the stand for cross-examination. Regardless of the final determination, it was an injustice not to include an open technical discussion in this process in addition to the closed-door discussions by ACC Staff and the Residential Utility Consumer Office.
Throughout the entire process, we have allowed APS to define "cost shift" much too broadly. Dozens of cost shifts are taking place every single day that are actively ignored by APS because they are structured in ways that increase their bottom line profits. Non-utility-owned solar is the first prominent potential cost shift that directly reduces APS net profits which has brought the issue to the forefront. We need to redefine cost shifts as two types: a cost shift that blocks the recovery of APS' net profit and a cost shift that blocks the recovery of APS' fixed costs.
With that in mind, I wholeheartedly agree that solar creates a cost-shift that directly reduces APS' net profits. The question is whether or not it is appropriate for APS to respond to this type of cost shift with rate increases. I feel APS does not have this right.
The issue that merited further investigation was whether or not distributed solar also creates a cost shift that blocks the recovery of fixed grid costs. It was stated during public comment that solar customers desire using the grid for free, that they are wrong for not paying their fair share. However, you'd be hard pressed to find a single solar customer that wants something for nothing. The problem is that solar customers do not feel enough has been done to determine that they actually are using the grid for free. Last week's hearing did not do enough to address whether or not distributed solar has resulted in a cost shift that avoids fixed costs rather than just lost APS profits.
When you have both a centralized monopoly and disruptive technology in the same arena, a utility profit cost shift is simply unavoidable and uncorrectable. We have seen this with energy efficiency techniques which also result in a net profit loss to APS. And as long as APS wants the revenue back, they will have to raise rates and create a cost shift to recover their profits. Although we all agree that distributed solar, like energy efficiency, results in a profit loss to APS, we have not adequately determined that the same technologies are avoiding fixed costs. This, as you know, is because there are many grid benefits that come with the adoption of distributed solar. We need to open a series of honest technical workshops where the industry experts, along with the Commission, Staff, and APS, can work together to determine the true effects of distributed generation. Allowing interested parties to host these technical workshops, as with those of earlier this year, is a clear conflict which corrupted the entire process.
I was intrigued to learn of Commissioner Burns' memorandum to open the docket regarding utility business models (13-0375). Bringing this issue directly to the forefront is both commendable and vital to our state's energy future. Due to inevitable technology innovation, there is virtually no scenario that will stop individuals, families, and business owners from investing in power that they themselves may own. The role of our state's utility companies is changing, and they are openly aware of it. Our regulated monopolies no longer have the luxury of being a customer's sole provider of transmission, distribution, and generation, and this trend will only continue to grow, as explained in Commissioner Burns' memo. For that reason, it is exceedingly important that we determine a true cost to operate our grid so that we may establish policies that work together with distributed generation to ensure the reliability of our transitioning energy system.

Donald H. Schepers, PhD., Associate Dean of the Zicklin School of Business and Professor of Management at Baruch College has been named by Trust Across America (TAA) as one of 2013's Top 100 Thought Leaders in Trustworthy Business Behavior. According to TAA, the people selected collectively represent a group that can genuinely transform the way organizations do business.
Dr. Schepers was recognized for his extensive work when he served as Director of the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity, which serves as a forum for discussion of a broad range of contemporary issues confronting U.S. corporations and capital markets including transparency of corporate reporting, corporate governance, examining legal and ethical corporate behavior, spotlighting executive accountability, corporate responsibility in global business development, risk assessment and amelioration, resolving conflicting corporate stakeholder interests, and evaluating the role of governmental regulation. In fall 2012, Schepers was appointed Associate Dean of the Zicklin School of Business. Read more.
Baruch staff are asked to meet in Mason Hall, in the 17 Lexington Building, from 10 a.m. to noon to learn about the College's Strategic Plan, 2013-2018. College offices will suspend operations during that period to allow all staff to participate.
President Mitchel Wallerstein will address the College Community and discuss Baruch's Strategic Plan, 2013-2018, which will guide the College's efforts for the next five years. The plan sketches a variety of efforts that include enhancing the student experience at Baruch through new recruitment efforts, exchange programs and curricular innovations. The plan also sets achievable goals for online education and executive programs for senior professionals. It also renews Baruch's commitment to engage effectively with the communities in New York City.
Ethics Week 2013 at Baruch College will take place from March 18-23. All subjects that relate to ethics are appropriate, but this year the Provost's Office hopes that issues of academic integrity will be a significant focus.
Faculty members are being asked to consider organizing class time around issues of ethics, especially as they relate to your subject or discipline or to academic integrity more generally. (Each school has adopted learning goals in ethical awareness or ethical decision making.)
Faculty are also encouraged to work with the Provost's Office to invite distinguished guests to speak to our community during Ethics Week either in an event open to all or just to their class. Modest stipends for a small number of speakers are available to those who act quickly.
The Abraham J. Briloff Prizes in Ethics will be awarded during Ethics Week 2013. For more information, contact Dennis Slavin, Associate Provost and Assistant Vice President at (646)660-6504 or firstname.lastname@example.com

With a murky mix of desire, jealousy and emancipatory yearning, Poor Dog Group's latest movement-based work gives forceful physical life to Jelly Roll Morton's legendary 1938 recording. Originally performed in the brothels of New Orleans' steamy Storyville District, Morton's song revels in the nastiness of its heroine's voice, whose feral physical energy lays claim to the violent impulses of a woman betrayed.

about the
At Project Chirag, we believe that "If it is to be, it is up to me". Religiously living by this code in our attempt to bring about rural transformation in India, Chirag Rural Development Foundation runs an initiative called Project Chirag - a model that aims at providing every rural household with their right to light. This solution is delivered by providing Solar based home lighting systems to villages of India which have no access to electricity for decades together. Project Chirag is not only conceptualized by the youth but also implemented by them at the grassroot level.
A unique feature of this initiative is the involvement of the differently abled as an integral part of the project's value chain. By enabling one community to empower another, Project Chirag aims at lighting up the 'dark side' of India, where light is not just seen as a mere lamp but rather as a vital spark that will put in motion an entire socio-economic transformation in the community. This initiative which started as a student initiative at H.R. College, Mumbai now is also a registered NGO called as 'Chirag Rural Development Foundation'.

This is sad news. Greg Cahill, an old acquaintance who had been a fellow graduate student with me at the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Oregon, has died suddenly. I did not know him well, but I remember him as a fine fellow among my small cohort of fellow students, and it's sad to hear of this unfortunate loss.
One of my colleagues, Greg Cahill…gone
#4 Patricia, OM December 28, 2008
So sorry PZ. It's always hard to loose school mates.
#5 'Tis Himself December 28, 2008
It's sobering when someone younger than yourself (and me) dies.
#6 Isabella December 28, 2008
He died in the airport while waiting for his flight. Poor guy!
#8 Monado in Toronto December 28, 2008
I'm sorry to hear that an old friend and colleague of yours has died at such a comparatively young age. It sounds like he did interesting work – biological clock rhythms in zebra fish: Coturnix meets PZ. I hope that someone will carry on his research. Sorry for your loss.
#9 Danio December 29, 2008
What a loss for our field. The UO Institute of Neuroscience will surely be a somber place as news of his death travels. Thanks for letting us know, PZ.
And shit, yeah, 50 is shockingly young. So sad.
#10 JJR December 29, 2008
Sorry for your loss, PZ. Sounds like the University of Houston lost a great man whose successor will have some mighty big shoes to fill.
#11 Longtime Lurker December 29, 2008
Too young to go, especially when the world needs people like him.
#12 Chris Davis December 29, 2008
I'm sometimes surprised that airport mortality rates aren't higher.
#13 reggie December 29, 2008
#11 has it right. We need people like him. So sad he went too soon.
Sorry to hear of the loss. Someone that I knew died a couple of weeks back. She was driving to work and lost control of her car because of the ice, and then hit a van head on. Her mom and noticed the accident. Sadly, her mom was unable to go with her to the hospital (because they flew her via helicopter)where she died of head injuries 24 hours later. She was only 34 years old.
#15 clinteas December 29, 2008
I didnt know the man,but its terribly tragic when someone is taken so suddenly from his friends and family,and it happens much too often.
Just yesterday a shark took a man off a western australian beach,while the son was watching from the shore.
I see someone die from sudden cardiac death at least once a week,and those guys are in their 30s and 40s sometimes(i.e.my age)now,and it creeps me out to know that anytime,anywhere,I could be next.
All part of the human condition,but still tragic,and a shock when it happens.
#16 Crudely Wrott December 29, 2008
I remember reading about Greg's work sometime back.
I distinctly recall thinking how lucky we are to have such clever people who think to look in places most of us don't know even exist.
And then they find a way to apply what they have seen to the broader scope of human knowledge and well being.
The idea that some small inquiry into reality by one person producing wide and unexpected value has always just knocked me out. How wonderful, how welcome, how . . . fitting, somehow. How human.
And I see that his roots were in Minnesota, where he would have been right now.
#17 Danio December 29, 2008
I have been checking back in from time to time to read the various comments lamenting the loss of a great mind, and a contributor to scientific discovery. Then I read the comment in the Houston paper under the announcement of Greg's death, and sure enough, some loathsome vulture calling him(?)self 'dukenukem40' writes:
Prayers to the family of this man. Today, he'll rejoice in the presence of the Lord! Who could be so blessed!!??!! God Bless all those who knew him.
I find it horrifying to contemplate the number of people in the world, in the US alone, who are doing little more than twiddling their thumbs and counting the minutes until death–and their ticket to paradise.
#18 Holydust December 29, 2008
I agree with Danio. That comment disgusted me. I wish it could be removed, but alas.
Some theobots will always be there to spit on the loss of a good man with their fairy tales negating the enjoyment of life on earth as we know it.
He was a credit to U of H.
#19 MrWill December 29, 2008
Although I didn't know him well, I did take a class of his while in graduate school at UH. He will be missed as a researcher, teacher, and most importantly a good human being.
#20 ennui December 29, 2008
Death is part of that package deal to which no one agrees–we are thrust headlong down the road of life, and are moving even before we know what it entails. It is a tragedy for anyone so valuable to so many, to go suddenly and young. It jolts us into re-realizing our own mortality and fragility.
But it also makes us think about all the work that we have left to complete, against the ticking clock of our eventual demise. And we take motivation from this, to press on for each day of our remaining time. Because you never know.
Very sorry to hear about your loss, PZ.
#21 Lily Bamboo January 23, 2009
I did my PhD at the University of Houston and knew Dr. Cahill. He will be greatly missed.

Chronicle Map is a high performance, off-heap, key-value, in memory, persisted data store. It works like a standard java map yet it automatically distributes data between processes, these processes can be both on the same server or across your network. In other words its a low latency, huge data key value store, which can store terabytes of data locally to your process.http://openhft.net/products/chronicle-map/

Memcached is high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load. Memcached is an in-memory key-value store for small chunks of arbitrary data (strings, objects) from results of database calls, API calls, or page rendering.distributed-caching cache object-cache key-value-store
Infinispan is an extremely scalable, highly available key/value NoSQL datastore and distributed data grid platform. The purpose of Infinispan is to expose a data structure that is highly concurrent, designed ground-up to make the most of modern multi-processor/multi-core architectures while at the same time providing distributed cache capabilities. Infinispan offers enterprise features such as efficient eviction algorithms to control memory usage as well as JTA compatibility.distributed-caching cache key-value-store data-grid grid
Ehcache is an open source, standards-based cache used to boost performance, offload the database and simplify scalability. Ehcache is robust, proven and full-featured and this has made it the most widely-used Java-based cache.distributed-caching cache key-value-store key-value
Redis is an advanced key-value store. It is similar to memcached but the dataset is not volatile, and values can be strings, exactly like in memcached, but also lists, sets, and ordered sets. All this data types can be manipulated with atomic operations to push/pop elements, add/remove elements, perform server side union, intersection, difference between sets, and so forth. Redis supports different kind of sorting abilities.cache key-value-database key-value-store persistence hashtable dictionary
HyperDex is a distributed, searchable key-value store. HyperDex provides a unique search primitive which enables searches over stored values. By design, HyperDex retains the performance of traditional key-value stores while enabling support for the search operation. It is fast, scalable, Consistent, Fault tolerant.distributed-caching cache object-cache key-value-store
Voldemort is a distributed key-value storage system. Data is automatically replicated over multiple servers. Data is automatically partitioned so each server contains only a subset of the total data. Server failure is handled transparently. It is used at LinkedIn for certain high-scalability storage problems where simple functional partitioning is not sufficient.key-value key-value-store dynamo scalable distributed linkedin
Oracle Berkeley DB provides the best open source embeddable databases allowing developers the choice of SQL, Key/Value, XML/XQuery or Java Object storage for their data model. At its core is a fast, scalable, transactional database engine with proven reliability and availability. Berkeley DB comes three versions: Berkeley DB, Berkeley DB Java Edition, and Berkeley DB XML.database embedded-database key-value-store key-value
Membase is an distributed, key-value database management system optimized for storing data behind interactive web applications. These applications must service many concurrent users, creating, storing, retrieving, aggregating, manipulating and presenting data in real-time. Supporting these requirements, membase processes data operations with quasi-deterministic low latency and high sustained throughput.distributed-caching cache object-cache key-value-database database
Dynomite, inspired by Dynamo whitepaper, is a thin, distributed dynamo layer for different storages and protocols. Dynomite is a sharding and replication layer. Dynomite can make existing non distributed datastores, such as Redis or Memcached, into a fully distributed & multi-datacenter replicating datastore.distributed-caching cache key-value-store key-value framework
JCS is a distributed caching system written in java. It is intended to speed up applications by providing a means to manage cached data of various dynamic natures. Its feature include Memory management, Element grouping, Data expiration, UDP Discovery of other caches, Key pattern matching retrieval, Remote server chaining (or clustering) and failover, Remote synchronization, Region data separation and configuration and lot more.cache distributed-caching key-value-store

Completely Libelous and Character Attack Without Merit
SUBMITTED: Thursday, August 21, 2014POSTED: Thursday, August 21, 2014
I am somewhat confused by this report as I, Leah Hruska, have not worked for Solutions Recovery since 2009, over 5 years ago and from the time of this initial report. I worked for this rehab facility for approximately 10 months in 2008 and 2009 and left to pursue a graduate degree full time in school counseling. Since my time at Solutions I've been a stay at home mom to 2 young children, and not employed in the drug and alcohol treatment or counseling field.

The one exception as a seller was a similar Burberry jacket at the same price (unfortunately, the auction is older than 90 days and I couldn't find a cached version on Google). I couldn't search for this type of jacket anywhere on Google to find a match, but it seems legit, perhaps you guys can prove me wrong. http://img703.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=burberry1.jpg

DPx Gear
DPx Gear, in partner with Italian knife manufacturer LionSteel, is doing some amazing things with their excellently designed HEST Folder. After time in the field gathering opinions, suggestions, and modification ideas, DPX Gear has come out with their Triple Black special edition folder with some serious tactical improvements. The main complaint about their original folder by soldiers serving all over the world was that it just wasn't tactical enough. The knife lacked serrations and the Titanium lock side and clip were too darn visible and with this simple idea at heart, the new HEST T3 was born. The knife now comes with a tactical black G10 handle scale, a PVD-coated Titanium lockbar, and is free of any discernible markings on the blade or clip. This allows for the knife to disappear into the night and with the sharp biting serrations, it's possibly the perfect combat theater tool. Another awesome new feature of the Triple Black T3 folder is that the skull shaped adjustment tool now incorporates a built in compass. For it to function correctly, the tool had to be made from a non-magnetic alloy and what better for this than Titanium. Adjust your tactical tool with style and be sure to get yours before they're gone forever, strictly limited to 500 production pieces.
The DPx HEST/F 2.0 Triple Black Special Edition ("T3") is an all black stealth version of our hard use folding knife in a limited run of 500 pieces. The custom tool features a hand made Pyser brass compass made in the UK for the SAS and survival applications. The tool features a cord cutter, pry, hex driver, pivot tension adjustment tool and tool to replace the hardened steel glass breaker. A soft head screw is also provided if the glass breaker is not required.
The "T3" is an extremely low-profile knife designed for law enforcement and military use where a superior cutting edge and low visual signature are priorities. This is the first HEST folder with custom designed serrations designed with the input of first responders and SAR professionals.
The 3.94" German Niolox corrosion resistant blade is PVD coated with a matte black TiCN coating to increase hardness and concealability.
One side of the frame is scaled in grip textured black American G10 polymer. The other slab is 6Al4V titanium that's alloy coated. The blade is physical vapor deposition coated with a slippery, durable layer of Titanium Nickel. The signature black pocket clip features the Mr. DPTM logo.
Like the other DPx HEST/F models, the "T3" comes with the patented RotoBlock® to lock the folder open. Three sizes of wire strippers serve as unique and slip-proof jimping. A removable glass breaker screws into the butt of the knife, and the hex driver in the handle may be used with the knife open or closed.

Persistence of Vision - Page 2
2) Secondly, if the screen image is composed of a series of slightly differing pictures, as in a cine film, the image will appear to move.
It is sometimes said that to ensure a flickerless, apparently continuous image, as explained in (1), persistence of vision is necessary, and that apparent motion (2) is a psychological effect of the brain.
Those proposing this explanation at least recognise that the important part of the phenomenon, that which causes a series of static images to apparently move, is a psychological effect that does not require 'persistence of vision' to work, and they suggest that 'persistence of vision' is only necessary to ensure that the image which we see on the screen appears continuous and does not flicker. However, it has in fact long been determined that the so-called 'persistence of vision' is also probably irrelevant to the effect of (1), a continuous, flickerless image.
So where did this 'persistence' (or after-image) notion come from?
Roget, in describing the phenomenon of spokes of a wheel appearing to be curved when viewed through a series of vertical slits, also mentions the
"illusion that occurs when a bright object is wheeled rapidly round in a circle, giving rise to the appearance of a line of light throughout the whole circumference; namely, that an impression made by a pencil of rays on the retina, if sufficiently vivid, will remain for a certain time after the cause has ceased."
As Joseph and Barbera Anderson have pointed out, there is no logic in ascribing how we see motion pictures to this effect:
"The illusion he describes is not an illusion of motion, nor does he claim that it is. Roget has described a case in which a series of moving points results in a static image, while in cinema a series of static images results in the illusion of motion."
Later in their article, they point out that:
"There is no motion on the screen, just a succession of still images. If there were persistence of these images in the eye of the viewer, figures on the screen would pile up, one on top of the other, resulting in a kind of chronophotographic display."
As previously mentioned, it has been suggested that, although perhaps not the mechanism by which successive still pictures are perceived as a moving image, 'persistence' (i.e. the after-image) is necessary in the cinema, in order to ensure that we are unaware of the blank (dark) screen which occurs between the projection of each image; and that if it were not for this persistence,the result would appear to flicker. Firstly, motion picture systems exist which do not have a blank screen between images; e.g. Steenbeck viewing machines, in which a prism block 'mixes' one image into the next. So even if 'persistence' were necessary for conventional projection with an intermittent shutter projector, the existence of systems that do not have blanking periods means that it can hardly be considered important to our understanding of how we perceive apparent motion in motion pictures.
Even the suggestion that 'persistence' ensures that we do not see flicker in a conventional projection system is in fact not the case, for there is another problem with this 'persistence' or after-image theory. What actually happens after a bright image is removed is that we see a succession of after-images, some positive and some negative. Obviously, the negative after-images are irrelevant; we do not perceive negative images when we look at motion pictures. More importantly, the first after-image, which is positive, appears some 50 milliseconds after the image ceases. In that period of time, not one but at least two screen images (at 48 flashes per second; that is, 24 frames per second with a two-bladed shutter) would have been viewed. Put simply, the first after-image of a film frame is not actually perceived until after at least one following frame has been projected.

By Kathleen Doheny, HealthDay
Running a marathon can damage your heart, with more than half of the segments in the heart's main pumping chamber typically functioning a little under par during the race, a new study shows.
The good news? Other parts of the heart pick up the slack and the changes reverse within three months or fewer after the run, the researchers found. The more fit and trained a runner is, the less effect the strain of a marathon was found to have on the heart.
NO PAIN, NO PAIN: Many try 'ChiRunning'
The findings underscore the need for adequate training, but "we aren't suggesting marathons are dangerous or that people shouldn't run," said Dr. Eric Larose, a professor of medicine at the University of Laval and a research-scholar at the Quebec Foundation for Health Research in Quebec City, Quebec.
Larose presented his findings at this week's Canadian Cardiovascular Congress 2010.
For the study, Larose and his colleagues gathered 20 healthy amateur runners, average age 45, who were planning to run a marathon in six to eight weeks.
The researchers evaluated the runners' fitness with a treadmill test that computes their measure of aerobic endurance and the body's oxygen consumption, a test called the VO2 max. They also did blood tests and scanned their hearts using MRI before the race, shortly after the race and then again three months later.
The investigators found changes immediately after the race in the left ventricle — the heart's main pumping chamber — which is divided into 17 segments.
"Out of these, 53% of the segments decreased in function during the marathon," Larose said. The decreased functioning may be from inflammation because of exertion, he said.
But he also found that neighboring segments took up the slack, compensating for the segments that weren't functioning up to par. Despite the lowered functioning, Larose found that the heart's pumping ability didn't change.
"As a whole, the heart is able to pump out enough blood during the race," he said.
The fitter the runners, the less effect the running had on the left ventricle, Larose found.
"Only one subject had no segmental dysfunction," he said, "and he had the best (aerobic endurance measurements)." Runners who were less well-trained — and who had lower VO2 max scores — were more likely to get dehydrated and suffer greater irritation of the heart segments, the study found.
Regardless of VO2 max scores, "when we repeated the scans, the MRIs, everything came back normal." That was three months after the marathon, he said, although "that does not mean it takes three months" for the heart to recover.
The study was small but well done, said Dr. Ori Ben-Yehuda, director of the coronary care unit and a professor of medicine at the University of California San Diego, who has researched the topic as well.
"The study raises concerns but is also reassuring," he said. "Even those with more damage did fine after three months."
The bottom line? "If you're in great shape, exercise has benefits long term, and short-term risks," Ben-Yehuda said. "It's very difficult to say, 'You're safe,' 'You're not' to runners. The one thing that is obvious is the more trained you are, the easier it is going to be on you."
Take-home lessons from the new research: Plan ahead and train regularly. You shouldn't go from couch to marathon in a month. Rough guideline: "If you're already fit for a half marathon, in three months you should be able to take it up to a full, as long as you follow your (training) schedule" and do the long and short runs, Larose said.
Find a training schedule — they're widely available in books and on the Internet — and stick with it, Larose suggested.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Like a daisy - I do better with other life around me. I would do much better if I were adopted with my mom Vira or my super affectionate sister Darla who looks just like me or peaches another very outgoing sibling of mine.
If you are seeking a unique kitty that is sweet and special then you'd best come to meet me. At 1 year young we have a long life to spend together but don't delay - happiness is just a phone call away!
Daisy, a Naples American Bobtail cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Bobtail for sale in Naples, or seeking a American Bobtail cat from a breeder in Naples.

Well, the time has come. And I believe there will be something for everyone. Even some egg on my own face.
Here goes.
To Obama supporters: Seriously? Open your God-given eyes. Stop blaming Bush for everything. Cut the racist crap. Obama, as an Alinskyite Marxist, is absolutely fine with the deteriorating economy and swelling dependency. That is the PLAN. Read something – anything – about the 60s radicals that he is in tune with. And lastly, Romney is more like the Obama you thought you were voting for than Obama actually was. Enough said.
To Partisan Republicans: You are as much to blame as Obama is for our national predicament. You play political games while standing for nothing but the R. You are frauds and owe a debt of gratitude to the tea partiers that you even still have a party left. You deserve to land in the dustbin of history for your lack of principle. There's still time for that to happen, so enjoy this brief surge while you can.
To the Tea Party: you have brought much energy to the political process. You have made some waves. You have ignited an incredible surge in learning of the Founders and the early documents of this amazing government system. If Obama is removed from office on November 6th, you will have been instrumental in doing so. However, the partisanship you have embraced leads me to predict that a Romney presidency is the end of your effectiveness. Too many of your heroes are really enemies of the Constitution. I can name names, but I really don't want to type out all 200 or so of them. And SHAME ON ANYONE for telling people that a vote on principle is throwing a vote away.
To my newfound libertarian friends – Big L and Small L alike. You are so right on so many things. Most tea partiers owe you an apology. They called you (and I) names and berated the candidates closest to the Founders, those who stand for individual liberty. They ridiculed us for our principled stances. The result? They got the candidate they least wanted. Go figure. But there are things we can work on ourselves. Like our presentation. Make points with logic and reason, not with names and derision. We all started somewhere. Ignore the partisans, and bring along the truth seekers. Get people to question what they believe. Don't fall into the trap of telling people what to think.
Now, for the infuriating and embarassing part. Yes, I'm embarrased and so angry I can hardly contain it. Tomorrow I will be a hypocrite. I will cast a vote that I said I would never cast again – that of voting for the lesser of two evils. I will cast a vote for two candidates that are okay with a kill list, erasing the 4th and 6th amendments, continuing to raise the debt ceiling and enslaving future generations, continuing wars we have no business fighting and more. I will cast a vote for Mitt Romney. The reasons are simple: 1. Barack Obama is not one of us. His Marxist worldview is incompatible with personal freedom and capitalism, the engine of freedom and prosperity throughout the ages. 2. It is obvious to a blind man that the Republicans in Congress are so inept and worthless that they will not stand against ANY end-run around Congress. We don't even get feigned indignation out of them anymore. It has come to the place where I must empower those unworthy of the power to remove a threat to my children's future because they won't. Sickening.
So, to my libertarian, constitutionalist friends, I ask for your forgiveness. But, things being what they are, I am looking out for my kids' future today. Fear not though. I will join you in making life miserable for those who have brought us seemingly right back where we were 3 years ago. I will fight side by side as you expose the corruption of the two-party system.
To my Tea Party friends, you have made your bed and you must lie in it. I will add that I despise this feeling that I have to lie in it too. Prove me wrong.
To my friends that don't give a rip about any of this and think I'm a blowhard, self-absorbed know-it-all who's making much ado about nothing, you may be right, but history has proven that those who stand for nothing will fall for anything.
Well, some of you asked.

I am drafting a report providing an overview of South South Cooperation in the 2009-2011 period.
The period was significant because developing economies continued to grow while the developed world sank into recession. That has never happened since Europeans created the first globalized world economy. It was possible only because of the dynamism of SS trade.
What else was significant about SSC during these three years? Any notable departures from past practice?

Publication Acceptance Date: 4/30/2007

Citation: Lundgren, J.G., Rosentrater, K.A. 2007. The strength of seeds and their destruction by granivorous insects. Arthropod-Plant Interactions. 1(2):93-99. Interpretive Summary: We define how the strength of seeds is should be measured in ecological literature, and present new information on how post-dispersal granivores assess the quality of different seed species. This topic has importance to basic and applied ecologists studying the dynamics between plant and insect communities.
Technical Abstract: The influence of seed structure and strength on their destruction by granivores is central to understanding the dynamics of granivore-plant interactions. The effects of seed size (cm3), mass (mg), density (mg/cm3) and coat strength (MPa) on the damage inflicted to up to nine seed species were evaluated for three post-dispersal granivores (Harpalus pensylvanicus, Anisodactylus sanctaecrucis, and Gryllus pennsylvanicus). The proportion of seeds destroyed were evaluated under choice and no-choice conditions for the different seed predators, and the relative destruction rates for the seed species were correlated with their characteristics. Seed destruction rates by G. pennsylvanicus were entirely unhampered by the size and toughness of the seeds. Seed densities significantly affected their destruction by A. sanctaecrucis and H. pensylvanicus, as did seed size, mass, and strength in H. pensylvanicus under choice conditions. When significant, beetles destroyed more of the small, denser seeds with stronger seed coats than weaker seeds. The significance of these results, which disagree with some previous studies on the topic, is discussed. Finally, the destructive capabilities of these three granivores for the different seeds are finely distinguished, which suggests a way for diverse communities of post-dispersal granivores to share a single resource within a habitat.

It seems summer is quickly coming to an end. The days are becoming shorter, and the weather is definitely chillier. As a result, I'm just learning to shoot pictures here and there, wherever I can grab some light and good vibrations. Avid photographers can't wait to get out there and shoot pictures; meanwhile, I just go with whatever's available. And I've only been at this since July, and already I feel at a loss for subjects!

It's no secret that even a simple highlighting job can cost between $50-$100. On top of that, if you get your hair cut regularly, some senior stylists can charge $40 and more just for a trim. Of course, if you use multiple colors for a full highlight (not a partial) you can easily be in the $200 range at a mid-level salon. If you just get root touch-ups, consider buying a product like Clairol's nice n easy root touch up and do it yourself.
