Can one player negate a team weakness? I guess the more pertinent question is can one player, playing less than 15 minutes/game, negate a team weakness? If negate is too strong of a word, how about mitigate? Let's take a look at Donyell Marshall's effect on a key stat for the Sixers this season.
It's no secret that the Sixers have been outscored from three pretty regularly this season. In fact, it's been their biggest weakness, and a thorn in their side so many times I've lost count. The past three games have shown us what Donyell Marshall can do in limited minutes. Beyond the stats, his shooting has energized the team, opened up the lane and forced the opposition to completely adjust their defense.
The question I've been asking myself is what will it take for the Sixers to address this problem in the future? Would one lights-out shooter added to the rotation be enough? I suppose that depends on your goal. If you want to conistently out-score your opponent from three, then probably not. If you merely want to narrow the gap and keep it manageable, then maybe the answer is yes.
I realize this is a horribly small sample size, but let's take a look at what has happened to this diferential when Donyell Marshall has played more than 10 minutes in a game this season. It's only 5 games, believe it or not:
Marshall Less Than 10 Minutes
- Sixers average 4.1 made threes on 12.92 attempts
- Opponents average 6.95 made threes on 19 attempts
- A deficit of 2.85 threes per game
- Sixers average 5.4 made threes on 17.4 attempts
- Opponents average 6.2 made threes on 19 attempts
- A deficit of 0.8 made threes per game
In Marshall's case, the team retained its edge in both free throw differential and offensive rebounding in all 5 games he logged more than 10 minutes of PT.
I'm not saying Donyell is the long-term answer. The guy is 35 and honestly I don't think he could hack 15-20 minutes per game. He can, however, handle around 10. Maybe one decent run each half to give the team a quick boost from deep. While the sample size is small, I don't think you can ignore it. He's a specialist, and a specialist who doesn't seem to kill you in other areas of the game. Hopefully, the team will look at him that way and continue to work him into the game.
One thing this exercise says to me is that the shooting problem isn't necessarily as dire I originally thought. Maybe one great shooter in a limited role can make a legitimate difference in this area. Finding a guy to shoot 40% from three for 10 minutes a game is much less daunting than somehow landing a dead-eye shooter to play 40 minutes a night.
If you're wondering exactly how indicative of winning this stat is, in games where the 3PM differential is -1 or better, the Sixers are 18-8. In games were the differentials is worse than -1 the're 16-24.

It is possible that in the 21st century, the connotation of the word
"affiliate" has evolved to specify a financial relationship between two
entities, i.e. becoming an affiliate of Amazon.com when setting up an
online bookstore featuring Amazon.com products.
Although M-W does not, Dictionary.com makes this distinction in the noun
form listed below:
-VERB (used with object)
1. to bring into close association or connection: The research center is
affiliated with the university.
2. to attach or unite on terms of fellowship; associate (usually fol. by
with in U.S. usage, by to in Brit. usage): to affiliate with the church.
3. to trace the descent, derivation, or origin of: to affiliate a
4. to adopt.
5. Law. to fix the paternity of, as an illegitimate child: The mother
affiliated her child upon John Doe.
-VERB (used without object)
6. to associate oneself; be intimately united in action or interest.
7. a branch organization.
8. Commerce. a. a business concern owned or controlled in whole or in
part by another concern.
b. a subsidiary.
9. a person who is affiliated; associate; auxiliary.

APG is a professional organization not a certifying board or a
membership society. The purpose of the organization must be to promote
the industry and in doing so support its membership. Secondarily, it
should shape the expectations of those whose aspire to be professionals.
The scope and purpose of the organization must remain broad to benefit
genealogy as a field on the whole as well as the specific subgroup of
professional genealogists. By raising the bar for genealogy and
genealogists in general, APG can better support its professional members
and thereby define the expectation of quality genealogy in the
I think the current membership categories are just fine, however, I
would change the term Associate Member to Affiliate Member to clarify
that this membership is based on multiple members within one

Weather, distance keep demand for Super Bowl seats 'softer than imagined'
A still-building weather system possibly will affect New York on Super Bowl weekend, but it won't be the perfect storm.
According to brokers selling secondary-market tickets for the most expensive Super Bowl ever, a Steelers-Giants or Steelers-Eagles matchup would have resulted in a never-before-seen surge for tickets.
But even with America's biggest one-day event coming to America's biggest city for the first time, seat prices are coming down daily because the participating cites, Seattle and Denver, are so far away.
Because it will prohibitively expensive even a week from now for fans in Denver and Seattle to line up last-minute flights and hotel rooms, most coming from those cities will buy their seats by Thursday, based on past Super Bowl patterns.
"By the end of the week, most sales will be in the New York/New Jersey area, and then you'll see them come down," Connor Gregoire, a Seatgeek.com communications analyst, said Tuesday. "The secondary market is healthy, but there were expectations this would be the most expensive Super Bowl ever. But the two cities are 4,600 miles away."
The tickets available on the open market jumped from 12,000 on Monday to 17,000 on Tuesday as fans from non-participating teams began putting up their seats for sale, according to Seatgeek. Each NFL team receives about 2 percent of the seat allotment, and most of those tickets are distributed to season ticket holders via lotteries.
Tickets are selling for an average of $3,504, including some seats that went for as little as $1,550 before the two weekend conference championship games were played Sunday, according to Seatgeek. That average was down $200 from Monday.
"It (demand) is softer than imagined," Gregoire said.
Face value ranges from $2,600 to $500. But the NFL isn't allowing the resale of the 1,000 seats that sold for $500 each in a lottery.
Last year in New Orleans, the NFL estimates many $600 tickets sold on the secondary market for $2,000, and midfield seats went as high as $6,100.
Luxury suites protected from the wind, cold and possible snow are what's prohibitively expensive. One suite is being listed for $1 million, but most are in the $250,000 to half-million range. Tickets for the various Super Bowl parties are appreciably higher than in the past.
The weather also could factor into last-minute ticket sales. Accuweather.com meteorologist Evan Myers said a storm system approaching the Northeast on Super Bowl weekend could affect New York sometime between Friday and Sunday.
"The weather affected sales for the San Francisco-Green Bay (wild-card) playoff game (Jan. 5)," Gregoire said. "By kickoff, seats were selling for $30.
"Not that you're going to see a $30 seat for the Super Bowl."

THW are now ten points ahead of Hamburg. What's the latest in Germany?
Kiel win top duel in Bundesliga
The teams are ready for the German Cup Final Four and the Bundesliga seems to be decided after Round 24.
THW Kiel won the Northern derby in Hamburg by 34:33 and the distance between the leader and the runner-up are ten points now. Kiel have broken the all-time Bundesliga record with 23 victories in a row. After the draw against Dormagen in Round 1 they won all the matches and now have 47:1 points on their account, while HSV Hamburg only have 35:11 points.
The really tense duel in Hamburg was decided by a penalty in the last second of the game. The Czech Filip Jicha converted it and set the final score 34:33. Hamburg had a 33:30 lead with just four minutes before the end on Saturday.
All the top teams met over last weekend. The other big duel was the game between the other two German CL teams.
Rhein Neckar Löwen (now ranked sixth) have beaten SG Flensburg-Handewitt very clearly by 39:30. For Flensburg it seems that they stand no more chance for a CL qualification now. They are eighth on the league table with 17 points behind Kiel.
In the third top game SC Magdeburg (4./33:15) have beaten TBV Lemgo (3./35:13) 33:30. – Apart from Kiel and Hamburg, these two teams and "Löwen" have the best chance to qualify for the CL.
German Cup
Three of the four German CL participants will meet in the Cup Final Four that will take place in Hamburg on 9-10 May.
In the quarterfinals Kiel won in Wetzlar 31:23, Hamburg have beaten Minden 24:18 and the "Löwen" had no problems winning 40:32 against Düsseldorf.
The fourth team to qualify for the Final Four was Gummersbach after beating Nordhorn by 25:24.
The German football legend, Uwe Seeler, drew the lots and arranged a semi-final between THW Kiel and "Löwen". Hamburg are clear favourites against Gummersbach in the other semi-final.

Transitional Tips For Students Returning Home
Your student is coming home for winter break! How exciting! Right? Well, if your student is a first-year student, having them come home after their first semester at college might be more challenging than you think. Your student has changed, and we suspect you've changed, too (like their bedroom into your exercise room). We have decided to provide you with a little help to make the transition home a little easier on you and your student.
1. As mentioned, your student has changed. That means your relationship with them will have to changed a little, too. Remember that they are adults now and they have dipped their toes into what it's like to take care of themselves. So, treat with them like adults; be mindful of mutual respect for each other, not control.
2. Part of being at college is having new freedoms and no longer having to follow rules like curfew or scheduled chores. Coming home to those things may be difficult for your student, so compromise. Don't give up complete authority, but negotiate new terms like allowing them to choose which chores they will do regularly or discussing what time they get home instead of a curfew. Be flexible.
3. This freedom also means they may have gotten used to not checking in with mom or dad every day. Be careful not to overwhelm them, give them space. Although it's important to not ask too many questions, remember that if something seems wrong, you're still their parent and you're still there to help. Try listening first before dishing out the advice.
4. When your baby comes home, it is often your first instinct to spoil them. There is a balance. They will need a few days of being lazy and a few home cooked meals, but let them help with the dishes and do some of the laundry they brought home with them.
5. They will sleep a lot. Allow it. College is exhausting. And have some of their favorite foods at home. Their stomachs will thank you and they'll be more excited to come home next time, which is a win-win for both of you.

Guidelines For Parking On Campus Over Break
Off Campus Students
Montana State University is offering free parking on campus during the winter break for students who live off campus.
The parking is being made available in order to avoid creating hazards to snow plows on city streets and having student cars ticketed and towed, according to Chelsea Schmidt, MSU assistant director of Business and Community Relations. Cars that are parked on city streets may create hazards and can be ticketed and towed, resulting in fees of $100 or more.
Students who are interested in free parking, offered between Dec. 10-Jan. 11, must register their vehicles prior to their departure, Schmidt said. Free registration is available at the MSU Police Department, located near the corner of Kagy Boulevard and South 7th Avenue. After registering their vehicles, students will receive a permit to park on campus and directions to an available parking lot. Free parking is available only to students who are living off campus and currently registered at MSU.
Residence Hall Students
Residence hall students are ask to not leave any vehicles in the E parking lots over break. In order to keep the E lots clear of snow over the break, Parking Services will be plowing and moving snow out of those lots as necessary. Moving vehicles out of the E lots will facilitate complete snow removal and prevent these vehicles from being plowed in and/or damaged during snow clearing operations. If you must leave your vehicle in Bozeman over the break you may leave it in the Huffman lot on the corner of Kagy and S. 7th Avenue. Your permit must be displayed over break and you must move your vehicle out of the Huffman lot no later than January 9th. An alternative location in which to leave vehicles over break is the F lot on the corner of Lincoln and 19th.

Thick is the new thin, baby
When Jennifer Hudson took the stage at the Oscars to tearfully accept her best-supporting-actress award, it wasn't about an American Idol reject's rise to glory. Nor was it about a humble church girl from the south side of Chicago taking Hollywood by storm. It wasn't even about the power of a song, and how J-Hud captured the world's attention with her soul-stirring Dreamgirls solo "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going". Hudson's Oscar moment marked the turning of the tide for pop culture's reigning beauty ideal–her full-figured, voluptuous size-12 self literally screamed the shift. "Ha!" it shouted out gleefully. "Thick is the new thin, baby."
For the last decade or so, pop tarts have been rapidly shrinking. Madonna spent years in the gym, sweating away every ounce of body fat. Gwen Stefani–who sported an endearing tummy in the "Don't Speak" video–did the same. Teeny bopper Hillary Duff dieted down to a shadow of her former self.
Hollywood followed suit. Nicole Richie turned up on the cover of tabloids looking ghastly in a bikini, her skin stretched across bones that stuck out at odd angles. Fashion models, too, jumped on the bandwagon. Gone were the relatively healthy-looking supermodels like Cindy Crawford. In their place were legions of Size Zero, skeletal runway wrecks, dying to be thin. Literally. (In 2006, three models passed away from starvation, effectively ringing the alarm for the entire fashion industry and ushering in BMI guidelines.) The Devil Wears Prada perfectly captured the mood when Emily Blunt bragged that she was just one stomach flu away from her ideal look.
All this tedious weight watching predictably trickled down to legions of teen girls, who are increasingly hitting the scales, counting calories, banishing carbs from their diet (boooo), and obsessing over every unwanted inch.
It's no surprise, then, that a backlash has been brewing. The general public has developed a serious case of skinny fatigue, and has been busy embracing stars that look like they might enjoy a decent meal from time to time. Jennifer Lopez laid the groundwork for the Thick Revolution with her í¼ber-famous ass. Bootylicious Beyoncí‰ was next to take up the cause, unapologetically shaking her jelly for all to see, all the while defiantly commenting on how much she loves fried chicken and cheeseburgers. Mariah picked up a little extra padding, and it looked good.
Tyra Banks gained 30 pounds after retiring from modelling, and wasn't about to take any crap for it either. When tabloids printed unflattering beach pictures of the America's Next Top Model host–dubbing her America's Next Top Waddle and Thigh-ra Banks–she struck back, looking sexy on the cover of People under the headline "You call this fat?"
If one requires proof that healthy is hot right now, though, one need look no further than the crowning of Jennifer Hudson as the new it girl. This month–in what can only be described as a victory for cheesecake lovers everywhere–the R&B singer graces the cover of fashion bible Vogue. In her editor's letter, legendary tastemaker Anna Wintour welcomes a new beauty ideal. "She's a style icon whose happiness in her own skin is something we can draw strength from," the editrix writes. "The question of body image is a current one, and I can't think of a more compelling and beautiful argument for the proposition that great fashion looks great on women of all sizes than the sight of Hudson in a Vera Wang gown on the red carpet."
Thing is, J-Hud doesn't need Anna Wintour to cosign her milk shake. She's big and she's beautiful, and she damn well knows it. "I'm the size of the average girl and my theory is that we're not too big, they're too small," the 25-year-old recently told the New York Times. "I would much rather have meat on my bones." A big fat amen to that.

Bronco was an oddball in the stable of WB Westerns: it tended to try to portray vaguely accurate historical characters and incidents. Bronco seems to have made the acquaintance of just about every notable character not involved in a Western owned by a different studio or network. Billy the Kid, Jesse James, and so forth, often with inaccurate but interesting spins on character or events. As a former Confederate officer who retained his aging issue hat, Bronco cut an effective figure. A viewing of a recently available video reminded me of the normal 1950s Westerns anachronisms: during the "War of Northern Aggression" there is Captain Lane using an 1873 revolver in 1863. Such problems notwithstanding, these were good examples of the WB Westerns and fine entertainment even today.
Some may have thought of "Bronco" as sort of a poor man's "Cheyenne," but it was a good series in its own right with a pleasant, "outdoorsy" quality that stressed action and adventure over gunplay and violence. It also boasted as its star a likeable actor named Ty Hardin who seemed to have a lot going for him: good looks, rugged physique, winning personality. He displayed a nice flair for comedy in "The Chapman Report" and did well dramatically in a modest movie called "Wall of Noise" but, for some reason or other, soon faded into obscurity. Hey, Ty, you're missed!
I was a little girl of about three when I fell in love with Bronco Lane. It was my first ever favourite TV show, and Bronco was my first ever heart-throb character. One day, my mother sent me to the shop, but I was away for so long that she came looking for me. Apparently, whenever the shop-keeper tried to serve me, I refused to speak to her. My mother asked me why, and I replied that I wouldn't answer until I was addressed, not by my name, but as "Bronco Lane". I do not remember this incident, but I strongly recall how much I loved the show, and thinking that Bronco (Ty Hardin) was the most handsome man in the world!
Bronco was a western television series that got rushed to market when
Clint Walker walked out on Cheyenne during a contract dispute with
Warner Brothers. It's star was one Orville Whipple Hungerford, III,
better known to us kids as Ty Hardin.
Hardin certainly didn't have the looming presence of 6'6" Clint Walker as Cheyenne, but he was a more than adequate western hero. Bronco Lane was a wanderer and in the course of this Confederate veteran's western wanderings he ran into a whole lot of famous true western legends. Warner Brothers was doing something that all the studios did with their westerns back in the day, mixed their cowboy heroes with stories real western personalities.
When Clint Walker came back and Cheyenne resumed production, Bronco was sort of like a spare tire that became a fifth wheel in the Warner Brothers western shows. It was on for a few seasons and dropped. It's star got a few good movie roles and then dropped out of sight.
Years ago I read that Hardin got involved in some really far right wing politics. I mean John Birch Society style right wing. I'm not sure if that drove casting directors to pass him by or did he get involved in that blaming his fading career on the Communists. Either way it's kind of a sad story.
But I still remember that theme song, "Bronco, Bronco, Tearing Across The Texas Plains, Bronco, Bronco, Bronco Lane."
This one goes back a long time. Anyone who remembers
the show must be really old. For reasons I do not
understand it was never rerun here in Germany.
So it is a good age tester. The only thing I remember is that
Bronco Lane used to drink water out of his hat. And that I
liked it a lot. The fondest and saddest memory is this. I
must have been 8 or 9 at the time when a friend told me
that his parents just bought a color TV. I said what do you
mean "Color?". He said that in it the movies are colored. I
told him he was an idiot, of course everything was colored.
Well, I went back home switched TV on and yes, Bronco
was running and everything was black and white. I could
not believe it. I had never noticed before. That was the day
when color left my TV life. For a long time at least. (I wonder
when I realized that movies were only two-dimensional.)
Years later when my family finally bought a color TV I did not like it and to this day I prefer black and white films to colored. And at least with certain TV series like "The Fugitive" that was colored in later seasons I turn off the color.

In an effort to diversify its force, the Gainesville Police Department is expanding its recruiting efforts, police officials said.
The goal, police spokesman Cpl. Kevin Holbrook said, is to have a force that is more representative of the city's diverse population.
"It's a diverse city, and that's a very good thing. We want to reflect that," he said.
According to 2010 census figures, people of Hispanic or Latino origin in Gainesville number 14,058, or 41.59 percent of the city's population. There are 5,143 black residents, 15.21 percent of the population, and 1,073 Asian residents, 3.17 percent.
Numbers for 2012 weren't available; however, an agency that nationally accredits the department, The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement, compared workforce demographics to sworn officers using 2008 census numbers.
In 2008, 77 percent of the available workforce was white, compared to 93 percent of police officers. Eight percent of the available workforce was black, compared to 5 percent of officers, and 8 percent Hispanic, compared to 2 percent of officers. That survey noted that the population could total more than 100 percent, as Hispanic can be included in other races.
The department's online outreach efforts reflect an increasingly connected population as well. It launched a Facebook page at the end of February.
"This generation is very different from other generations as far as being the technologically advanced generation," Holbrook said. "In the past, where advertising in local papers was enough, now it's beyond that."
A more old-fashioned advertisement residents may have noticed is a recruitment billboard, part of a partnership with Fairway Advertising, Holbrook said. The billboard, at the corner of E.E. Butler Parkway and Martin Luther King Boulevard, is moved about every two weeks, Holbrook said.
"It's helped us to increase our exposure. It's a new, innovative way for us to market ourselves," he said.
On Thursday, Holbrook was at the University of North Georgia for a job fair to recruit fresh college minds.
"It's actually become very competitive nowadays going into law enforcement," he said. "We just want to put ourselves out there and recruit the best."

BOULDER COUNTY – First impressions can say a lot. And so it follows that when you go to Goodacre & Co.'s web site, the first thing you see is a virtual parade of some of the most desirable homes for sale in theBoulder area. "We really believe that promoting the sale of our clients' homes has a higher priority than promoting ourselves, or our brand," says managing broker Ken Roth. "As a small, family owned business, we have the luxury of focusing on our clients' best interests by providing personalized, knowledgeable service. Our clients know that they will never get 'lost in the shuffle' as we concentrate more on the quality of their experience than the quantity of our transactions." This personal approach has been the start of many successful real estate transactions and – more importantly – long-term relationships with sellers and buyers who can recommend Goodacre & Co. with confidence to their friends.
Company founder Bill Goodacre got his first glimpse of Colorado when he came here on a hockey scholarship at the age of 18. After college and a dozen years of real estate work in Texas, Bill returned to Colorado in the mid-70s and founded Goodacre & Co. Since that time, he has built a reputation as a knowledgeable, honest and effective Realtor and a leader in Boulder's real estate community.
Tim Goodacre, Bill's son, is a partner in Goodacre & Co. and brings nearly three decades of professional experience to the company. You could say he grew up in the business. He started by helping to fix up some of Bill's listed properties, but by the time he was a freshman in college he had his Realtors license and was holding open houses for his dad. A Boulder resident since childhood, Tim enjoys various outdoor activities and spending time with his wife and two children.
Together, Bill and Tim have developed Goodacre & Co. into one of the top producing real estate agencies in Boulder County, claiming the most sales of homes over $1.5 million from 2006 to 2012. Each of the company's 28 licensed brokers have an abundance of experience and an intimate knowledge of Boulder and what makes it such a special area to live in and raise a family. "We understand the personalities of the various neighborhoods and schools," Ken Roth explains. "This familiarity is vital to meeting the diverse wants and needs of families relocating to the Boulder area, who are looking for just the right fit of living experience and value." A long-time member of the Boulder Chamber of Commerce, Goodacre & Co. has also helped to support the efforts of other local organizations through the years. They were proud to be a significant sponsor of last summer's Pro Cycling Challenge, which brought thousands of cycling enthusiasts and spectators to town for the event.
Buying or selling a home involves a lot of details and decision making, and Goodacre & Co. works hard to create a seamless, uncomplicated experience. "We are an independent, tech savvy agency, so we have the freedom to choose the methods and procedures that serve our clients the best," Ken Roth says. This includes using the latest digital tools and technologies to empower agents, promote client properties, and streamline the entire transactional process. And clients appreciate the rapport that Goodacre & Co.'s agents have with other local real estate offices, making it easy to put together all the pieces of a successful transaction.
Goodacre & Co.'s superior market knowledge results in their brokering of many deals for properties not actively for sale. Other offices in Boulder often contact them when there is nothing currently on the market that meets their client's needs.

THURROCK Harrier Jon Metcalf, representing the Eastern Counties Veterans in the recent inter-area match, finished an excellent second in the V50 1500m.
Athletes from all corners of the UK battled away for what was virtually a national title.
Michael Shortall took two silvers in the weekend's Eastern Counties championships at Colchester. In a competitive 400m hurdles his time was 58.4s.
In the 110H – a less competitive race – his time was 16.49s.
The story of the afternoon was Nigel Instances' win in the senior javelin.
His 33.09m was a personal best and a gold medal was a real bonus as the main purpose of his journey was to support his bronze-medal winning daughter Hayley.
This week Michael and Nigel will be helping the club improve its position in the Southern Athletics League in the fifth and final round at the Harriers own Blackshots track.
The first event is at noon.

No New Space for Women at Kotel (INN) ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) By Maayana Miskin 04/03/12)
Source: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/154455#.T3sWOfCO2So
INN} ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS Articles-Index-Top
The Supreme Court decided Tuesday not to make a final decision regarding the expansion of the prayer space for women at the Kotel (Western Wall). The court has ordered the National Council for Planning and Construction to hold an additional hearing regarding the plan.
In the meantime, women who pray at the Kotel will be forced to use a crowded space that Kotel rabbi Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch has said is at least 50 percent too small.
The state decided years ago to replace a dangerously old bridge leading to the Mughrabi Gate, also known as the Rambam Gate, on the Temple Mount. Problems with the bridge led to less space in the womens prayer section, leading to plans to expand the womens prayer area while rebuilding.
However, Muslim leaders were angered by both the bridge to the Temple Mount and plans to make the prayer space bigger. Dr. Mohammed Masalaheh filed suit against the plan, arguing that it was a violation of the existing status quo between religious groups in the Old City of Jerusalem.
The Jerusalem District Court partially upheld Masalahehs suit, ruling that the state could replace the bridge without expanding the Jewish prayer space at the Kotel. Expanding the space used for prayer is a complex and sensitive matter, which among other things has religious aspects, ruled the judge, although she noted that there is no blanket prohibition on expanding prayer space at the Kotel.
Muslim prayer is not held at the Kotel or in the space that would be used for expansion, but rather on top of the Temple Mount itself, in the place considered by Judaism to be the most holy spot on earth.
The state and the Western Wall Heritage Foundation filed an appeal against the court decision. Expanding the womens prayer section is necessary and does not affect the religious status quo, as the space to be expanded into is already defined as part of the Temple Mount and the Western Wall, they argued.
Justice Miriam Naor wrote the verdict, which explained that the Supreme Court cannot issue a ruling until the planning committee holds a new hearing, as the topic of expanding the womens prayer section was not raised in the original hearing. (IsraelNationalNews © 2012 04/03/12)

ASSC 14 - Tutorials
Tutorials well be held during the morning and afternoon of Thursday the 24th of June. To view the program click (HERE)
********************************* Morning Tutorials **********************************
Signal detection theory and distinguishing conscious vs. unconscious
Michael Snodgrass (University of Michigan, USA)
Hakwan Lau (Columbia University, USA)
Summary: Signal detection theory (SDT) is a standard tool for analyzing psychophysical data. Applying detection-theoretic analysis (i.e. reporting d', decision criterion) is the gold standard in research in sensory perception, be it neuroimaging or neurophysiology. SDT analysis is also often applied to studies in consciousness, and has crucial implications for distinguishing conscious vs. unconscious processes. Moreover, SDT approaches sometimes yield importantly counter-intuitive interpretations. In this tutorial we will go through the basic formalisms of detection theory, assuming no background in the area. We will ensure that participants without mathematical training will be able to acquire the graphical intuitions that are needed to understand advanced analyses. We then review several topics in consciousness where detection-theoretic analysis has provided critical and important insights. These include identifying and distinguishing conscious vs. unconscious processes, blindsight, change blindness, time perception, Libet's experiments on volition, postdecision wagering, confidence ratings, exclusion tasks, and the topic of unconscious inhibition. The relationship between signal detection theory and Bayesian decision theory will also be discussed. We encourage participants to discuss their own research paradigms so that SDT applications can be explored.
Intended Audience: We intend to begin with a basic introduction to SDT accessible to everyone, but also to discuss various advanced applications to consciousness research.
Decoding visual and mental content from human brain activity
Frank Tong (Vanderbilt University, USA)
Summary: Is it possible to determine what a person is seeing, experiencing, attending to, or actively remembering, from noninvasive measures of that person's brain activity? Might it even be possible to reconstruct what a person is seeing or imagining from fMRI measures of brain activity? This tutorial will discuss recent advances in neuroimaging that allow for the extraction of detailed visual information from fMRI activity patterns obtained from the human visual cortex. From these activity patterns, it is possible to determine what basic visual features, complex objects or natural scenes a person might be looking at with very high accuracy. Moreover, it is possible to decode top-down aspects of processing, such as attended or remembered visual items from measured patterns of brain activity. This tutorial will survey the methods and findings of recent fMRI decoding studies, including those by the Dr. Tong's lab and other labs. The tutorial will cover both the technical and conceptual fundamentals of "brain reading", and should be suitable for people from a broad range of backgrounds, with one component emphasizing the more technical and mathematical aspects of pattern classification. There will be extensive opportunity for questions and open discussion about the strengths and limitations of these fMRI decoding methods, and how they might contribute to scientific understanding of how mental states are represented by different brain states.
Intended Audience: Introductory session aimed at a multi-level audience. The tutorial should be suitable for novices and experts alike, covering state of the art methods and findings, but described in a way that should be accessible to a broad audience.
Neural Basis of Suppression, Repression and Dissociation
Heather Berlin (Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NY, USA)
Michael C. Anderson (MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge, UK)
Summary: A great deal of complex cognitive processing occurs at the unconscious level and affects how humans behave, think and feel. But scientists are only beginning to understand how this occurs on the neural level. Understanding the neural basis of consciousness requires an account of the neural mechanisms that underlie both conscious and unconscious thought, and their dynamic interaction. For example, how do conscious impulses, thoughts, or desires become unconscious (e.g. repression) or, conversely, how do unconscious impulses, desires, or motives become conscious (e.g. Freudian slips)? Reseach taking advantage of advances in technologies, like functional magnetic resonance imaging, has led to a revival and re-conceptualization of some of the key concepts of psychoanalytic theory, and progress at understanding their neural basis. According to psychoanalytic theory, unconscious dynamic processes defensively remove anxiety-provoking thoughts and impulses from consciousness in response to one's conflicting attitudes. Within this classical framework, the processes that keep unwanted thoughts from entering consciousness include repression, suppression and dissociation. We will discuss studies from psychology and cognitive neuroscience in both healthy and patient populations that are beginning to elucidate the neural basis of these phenonema. Reconceptualizing classical psychoanalytic concepts within the context of modern cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience may facilitate their empirical study, allowing us to characterize the neural basis of the dynamic unconscious. This will ultimately lead to more effective treatment options for certain psychological disorders, and help us better understand our own consciousness.
Intended Audience: This tutorial will be aimed at neuroscientists, psychologists, philosophers, and clinicians who are interested in the relationship between neuroscience and psychoanalytic theories. After a brief introduction to the basic psychoanalytic concepts, we will present experimental evidence that is beginning to elucidate the neural basis of classic psychodynamic processes such suppression, repression and dissociation. Finally we will propose a clear trajectory for future neuroscientific studies in this emerging field.
What are mental representations, and does the mind need them?
Paula Droege (Penn State, USA)
Summary: One serious obstacle to interdisciplinary research is disagreement or misunderstanding about pivotal terms. 'Representation' is central to many philosophical theories of consciousness and figures importantly in psychology and neuroscience as well. Some questions raised by the role of representation in these fields are: What does it mean to say the mind is 'representational'? Are we conscious only of our own mental representations and indirectly aware of the world, or are we conscious of the world itself by means of our representations? Is the content of a representation determined by computational or functional relations, by consciousness, or in some other way? What is the difference between representation and meta-representation? The tutorial will begin with a discussion of how the concept of 'representation' is used in each of the participants' fields. We will then survey a variety of ways 'representation' is defined in philosophy of mind (Locke, Husserl, Fodor, Millikan), psychology (Plyshyn, Perner), and neuroscience (Hebb, Tononi, Varela). Finally, we will consider some objections to representation as necessary to the nature of the mind (Noë).
Intended Audience: The presentations will assume no background in any of the fields considered. The level of the workshop will be introductory with an aim toward clarifying concepts across fields. Discussion is the means toward achievement of this aim as participants evaluate the use of 'representation' in their own fields and compare this use with the way the term figures in other fields.
************************************* Afternoon Tutorials **************************************
Attention and Consciousness: Two Distinct Brain Processes
- Naotsugu Tsuchiya (Caltech, USA and Tamagawa University, Japan)
WITHDRAWN PRESENTER - Christof Koch (Caltech, USA)
Summary: Historically, the pervading assumption among sensory psychologists is that what a subject attends to is what she is conscious of. That is, attention and consciousness are very closely related, if not identical, processes. However, a number of recent authors have argued that these are two distinct processes, with different neuronal mechanisms. While the neuronal correlates of consciousness remain elusive, significant progress has been made in studying the neuronal correlates of "unconscious" processing; a multitude of techniques---such as masking, crowding, attentional blink, motion-induced blindness, continuous flash-suppression, and binocular rivalry---permit visual scenes to be presented to subjects without subjects becoming aware of them. Such experiments, coupled to fMRI in humans and single-cell recordings in behaving monkeys, show that vigorous hemodynamic and spiking activity in cortex is often not associated with conscious perception.
Building upon the successful tutorial at ASSC 10&11, we review and update the recent evidence showing 1) that invisible stimuli can be attended with top-down attention and can influence subsequent behavior, 2) that to observe some behavioral evidence of unconscious processing, top-down attention to invisible stimuli is necessary and 3) that under some conditions top-down attention and consciousness can result in opposite effects.
The philosopher Ned Block has argued on conceptual grounds for two forms of consciousness, access (A) and phenomenal (P) consciousness. Given the data, it may be possible that A is equivalent to top-down attention and read-out (which usually, but not always, goes hand-in-hand with P) while P can occur with or without top-down attention.
Intended Audience: Philosopher, psychologists, and neuroscientists who are interested in the relationship between attention and consciousness. We also aim to introduce various methods with ample examples on how to manipulate the two processes independently for future empirical neuroscientific studies of attention and consciousness.
Solving the Inverse Problem in Human EEG/MEG and applications to brain connectivity
Stanley Klein (UC Berkley, USA)
Summary: In the past two years several groups have made progress in combining MRI/fMRI with EEG/MEG to localize human cortical activity with msec accuracy in time and mm accuracy in position in response to visual stimuli. This major step forward in solving the nearly ill-conditioned inverse problem will be the topic of this tutorial. If one had: a) perfect fMRI for V1, V2, V3, V3a retinotopy; b) perfect MRI specifying cortical shape; c) perfect boundary element forward model (BEM) for EEG and MEG; d) perfect stimuli that only activate V1, V2, V3, V3a, etc. then the inverse problem would be easily solved. The first two thirds of the tutorial will discuss methods for solving the inverse problem in an imperfect world and in the process substantially improving fMRI , MRI and BEM accuracies. Discrete dipole methods will be compared to distributed dipole methods. The last third of the tutorial will discuss important implications of the ability to isolate signals in source space rather than electrode/sensor space. In particular we will discuss issues of determining brain connectivity through phase coherence and issues of the causal flow of information across brain areas. These latter approaches are especially useful for isolating the neural correlates of awareness. Some familiarity with the above issues, including principle component analysis, would be helpful, but not essential.
Intended Audience: This tutorial is aimed for people with some familiarity with issues of EEG/MEG source localization. I will use some math, but nothing fancy.
Informational Measures of Consciousness: Integration, Causality and State Structures
Igor Aleksander (Imperial College, London, UK)
David Gamez (Imperial College, London, UK)
Summary: It has been suggested by Tononi (2008) that a network property, called information integration, closely corresponds to the amount and quality of consciousness in a system. The tutorial explains and examines this claim and shows participants how they can do simulations and experiments in this area. The strength of the above claim is briefly examined in the first part of the tutorial, as is the limited amount of evidence for the link between information integration and consciousness from EEG studies. Tononi has also supported his claim through comparisons between high-integration networks and areas of the brain that have been linked to consciousness. The second part of this tutorial will summarise the informational constructs that go into Tononi's measurement of integration and familiarize the attendees with such constructs. The tutorial will introduce Anil Seth's method of measurement using Granger Causality in networks and Murray Shanahan's ideas on network structures that optimise their small-world topologies. The next part of the tutorial introduces the work done by the presenters on defining and measuring integration through discrete automata-theoretic models, simulations of which allow the results of integration (and lack thereof) to be displayed to the audience. There will be considerable opportunity for discussion and a practical demonstration in the last part of the tutorial.
Intended Audience: People working within consciousness who have come across algorithmic theories of consciousness, but not fully understood their motivation or applications. People who are sceptical about being able to approach consciousness through algorithmic approaches. People who have some knowledge of information and automata but would enjoy a revision of such concepts in the context of consciousness studies.
Train your brain ! Understanding and applying the neurofeedback technique
Kerstin Hoedlmoser (University of Salzburg, AUSTRIA)
Manuel Schabus (University of Liège, Belgium)
Summary: Neurofeedback (NF) is a very sophisticated type of biofeedback and refers to an operant conditioning paradigm. Patients are instructed to learn to self regulate distinct parameters of their cortical activity (e.g., amplitude, frequency or coherence) as assessed by the means of electroencephalography (EEG). Today NF is mainly used as a therapeutic tool to treat different types of disorders like epilepsy, ADHD or insomnia. Furthermore, the exciting progress in the field of brain-computer-interface enabling "locked-in" and partly paralysed patients to communicate or to produce movements, respectively, by voluntarily controlling neuronal activity benefits from this specific method. More recent research focused on healthy individuals providing evidence that subjects who are able to gain control over different EEG parameters might even succeed in increasing performance levels in various cognitive tasks. Taken together there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that it is feasible to learn to regulate specific brain oscillations. Thereby it becomes possible to directly counteract the maladaptive brain activity which is associated with various disorders such as epilepsy, ADHD or insomnia.
Intended Audience: Researchers from behavioural/experimental, neuroscientific, and philosophical backgrounds, psychologists, physicians and students who wish to build up basic knowledge concerning the field of Neurofeedback. This workshop will provide an introduction to the field of Neurofeedback and therefore participation does not require any expert knowledge.

One huge selling point for local properties is the quality of the local school district. But unfortunately for real estate agents in the high-desired districts – such as Scarsdale, Rye or Chappaqua – they're legally barred from telling their clients about it.
On the other end of that spectrum are all the downsides to a property, like if it has a sordid history.
This special report from USA Today looks at the disclosure issue, featuring a disgruntled buyer in Florida who bought a home that was once used to manufacture drugs.

Event Details
Waste Land is a documentary film featuring renowned contemporary artist Vik Muniz who is best known for creating original and reimagining historical works of art with unusual materials such as chocolate syrup, peanut butter, and jelly. The film tracks the development of a 2008 series of monumental photographic portraits made from trash. Entitled Pictures of Garbage, this series was created by Muniz in collaboration with the garbage pickers — or catadores — of Jardim Gramacho, a 321-acre, open-air dump just outside Rio de Janeiro that is one of the largest landfills in Latin America.
Through the process, this documentary captures both the dignity and despair of an essentially discarded group of people as they begin to re-imagine their lives. The film tells an inspiring story of waste, poverty, consumption, and the power of art to change our view of all things.

Wayne Co. Returns!
ike Sullivan of Wayne County Speed Shop, a World Champ Pro Stock driver and generally a famous Mopar team owner, is restoring one of the cars Wayne Co. won the 1994 NHRA Pro Stock World Championship with. How he and Dave Hutchins came to have the car is a story in itself. The car was originally built by St. Louis racecar builder and racer Jerry Haas for the factory Mopar team and driver Darrell Alderman in 1992.
After the team was done with the car it was sold to a party that owned the Orlando, Florida, Race Rock restaurant and tourist attraction. It was in the rafters of that club on display for almost 15 years until last year when the property was sold and the restaurant was demolished.
The owners called Mike Sullivan and asked if he was interested in the car. At that time it was basically just a shell of a car with no motor or trans. Mike was interested, and he and Hutchens acquired the car.
"It was attached to the wall near an AC outlet and let me tell you the car was just full of s**t when we got it. It was a serious job just to get it cleaned," Sullivan recalls.
Once they got it cleaned up they started on the process of restoring the car to its 1994 livery. In '94 Sullivan and crew were having a cylinder head specialist by the name of Al Neal working on the heads and intake, and at the time they built and kept a 500-inch Pro Stock mule motor similar to what they used on race days at a dyno shop for testing. When Mike again took possession of the Daytona he called the dyno shop and, sure enough, the engine was still there. Mike was able to retrieve that motor, and with drive train parts that were lying around the Fairfield, Illinois, shop that came off of the original cars, the pair are in the process of restoring the Daytona to "as raced" condition inside and out.
Once the restoration is completed their plans are to take the car to one of the premier car auctions such as Barrett-Jackson over the winter and sell it to the highest bidder. The line forms at the right.

MOUNT PLEASANT, SC - A man is in custody after barricading himself in a Mount Pleasant home on Tuesday night.
Police say they were alerted after the suspect, 35-year-old Andrew Niehus, was cited for reckless driving and failure to stop for blue lights by the Isle of Palms Police Department.
Officials say Niehus barricaded himself in a home on the 1400 block of Diamond Boulevard in Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant PD officials added that Niehus said he wasn't going to come out for the police. The department then called SWAT and crisis negotiators. The standoff did end peacefully with Niehus coming out without any incident.
Several law enforcement agencies, including SWAT, the Mount Pleasant Police Department and the Isle of Palms Police Department responded to the situation.

Our national self-image is about to undergo a change for the worse.
How bizarre would it seem if the Government insisted on having the Australian coat of arms included in the credits for such films as Head On, notable for a full frontal engagement with drug-taking and homosexuality, or Rabbit-Proof Fence, with its exposure of official brutality toward Aborigines? Yet that day may not be far off.
It's the kind of outcome we may expect in future, given a recent cabinet decision on "Australian Government branding", which requires all non-government organisations (NGOs) funded by the Australian Government to forgo their independent logos. Some of these logos have been trademarks for 30 years or more. Instead, they are to use the Australian coat of arms, with a line drawn under it and the name of the agency or department under the line.
Even at the bottom end of the scale, the cost of replacing obsolete stationery will necessitate considerable expense and inconvenience. But this is a mere trifle beside the ramifications of changing the image we project as a nation.
The new ruling applies to all government departments and agencies, federally funded museums, art galleries and statutory authorities. Everyone other than Government Business Enterprises.
One wonders how comfortably this will sit with those agencies specifically set up to monitor government delivery of services, or to be watchdogs warning of government intrusion on such issues as greenhouse gas emission policy or the safety of our airways, not to mention the Office of the Federal Privacy Commissioner.
There are exemptions, the ABC and SBS among them. So that's a mercy.
But the bare fact is that this decision has already begun costing the taxpayer heavily, with a diverse range of affected entities scrambling to put their objections in the form of submissions, setting out separate claims to be included among the exemptions.
Is it jingoism? Or can it be that the nation's biggest spending government also wants to be the nation's most self-advertised and self-congratulatory government?
The question must also be asked: how will it affect future delivery where such bodies as Austrade and the Australian Tourist Commission are concerned? Will there be an implication for our trade? Their independence and their lively presentation of an inviting and dynamic Australia will surely begin to look a good deal more staid and dour if subjected to this Soviet proposal.
It's a pretty good bet that all NGOs feel some concern, especially as the decision would appear to have been made without consultation.
Our national self-image and, indeed, the voice with which we speak internationally, through the arts and sport, will undergo a subtle but undesirable change.
For a start, the Australia Council's "Dot and the Kangaroo" designed 30 years ago by artist John Olson is presumably under threat. And how is it going to damage production companies in receipt of funding from the Australian Film Commission if they can no longer use the well-known AFC logo to help leverage finance from private investors? In such a context the government logo carries no weight at all.
Then there's the obverse: our coat of arms itself may suffer considerable erosion of dignity once so many agencies have authority to use it, for anything from Centrelink services for the unemployed to reports by the Australian Antarctic Division, or for patenting applications by the CSIRO (let's say, for genetic research). All will carry the coat of arms, whether providing roadworks or slapstick comedy.
Wherever we turn we're likely to be confronted with the national crest. The dear old kangaroo and emu will make their appearance at a vast hugger-mugger of events, on buildings and billboards, stitched on to work uniforms, for everything from Air Services Australia to the Film Finance Corporation, from the Australian Greenhouse Office, or the Australian Institute of Marine Science, to sporting grants and fellowships, at art gallery fund-raisers and on posters promoting novelists. Lovely.
And then there is the negative aspect to be considered - the coat of arms being associated with refusals. Because funding applications to NGOs fail far more often than they succeed. So, now, every disgruntled applicant will associate bad news with government.
On top of all that, there seems a good chance this policy will be seen not to work. Then within a couple of years it will have to be undone. The residual damage is going to demand a massive effort at repositioning from the NGOs in their various and very different marketplaces.
All up, it's a baffling decision.
Any nation's coat of arms is its signature, its ultimate imprimatur. Not to be used lightly. How is it going to look up there as the logo of the Australian Bicycle Council, for example? How is it going to look to the clients of the Family Assistance Office? When the new version of the Australia-Korea Foundation's excellent education kit, "Investigating Australia", is distributed free to every secondary school in Korea, will it immediately be dropped in the bin as propaganda? This would be in sad contrast to the first version, which was accepted as presenting such balanced, realistic information on Australia that changes were made in the Korean school curriculum.
Anyone who thinks this is insignificant, think again. Korea is our third-biggest export market. Good relations and reciprocal understanding are vital to our future.
NGOs are an essential element of Australia's loose mixture of hands-on and arms-length government. They are one of the things we get substantially right. The present logos are symbolic of this independence. When the symbol goes, how much of the substance may follow?

Attachment: Public Hearing Notice
1. Conduct a public hearing to receive citizen input on the proposed 2007-2008 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
2. Approve the proposed CDBG projects and budget.
3. Authorize the Director of Public Works to execute agreements for CDBG projects with the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission.
Approving staff's recommendation authorizes the allocation of $267,623 in CDBG funds. This allocation includes $190,496 in 2007-2008 CDBG funds, $38,997 in the Unallocated Balance of Funds, and $38,130 of re-programmed FY 2006-2007 funds. Upon approval of the CDBG projects by the CDC, the project budgets will be programmed into the City of Rancho Palos Verdes' FY 2007-2008 budget.
Each year, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are allocated to cities by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) which is administered through the Los Angeles Community Development Commission (CDC). Participating cities receive funding based upon the total number of cities participating in the County's program, and a city's commitment to provide housing, economic and community development opportunities which principally benefit persons of low and moderate income levels and/or aid in the prevention or elimination of blighted conditions.
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes has annually participated in the Los Angeles Urban County's CDBG Program since 1986. Typically the City uses its CDBG allocation to fund the Home Improvement Program, the REACH Program for developmentally disabled youth and young adults, Americans with Disability Act (ADA) projects and
qualifying capital improvement projects. In order to continue its participation in the upcoming 2007-2008 program year (beginning July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008) the
Pursuant to federal requirements, this public hearing was noticed in the Palos Verdes Peninsula News on November 4, 2006 and November 18, 2006. A copy of the notice is attached to this staff report. Federal requirements also mandate that as a part of the hearing, the City Council and public be informed of the range of eligible and ineligible housing and community development activities that may be funded under the CDBG Program. A list of eligible and ineligible CDBG projects and activities are attached to this report as Exhibits A and B, respectively.
In addition, interested persons may review a copy of the federal eligibility guidelines at the City of Rancho Palos Verdes' Public Works Department.
Description of Proposed 2007-2008 CDBG Projects
A combined total of $267,623 CDBG funds will be available for the FY 2007-2008 CDBG projects from the following sources:
Preliminary 2007-2008 CDBG allocation for RPV $190,496
It is recommended that the City Council approve the following proposed projects for the 2007-2008 program year:
1. CDBG Administration and Planning $ 19,049
2. REACH Program $ 28,574
3. Home Improvement Program $ 150,000
4. ADA Compliance-City Hall $ 70,000
Funds will be programmed for a future project to remove access
In the event that actual CDBG funding levels vary from the $190,496 estimate, the proposed projects and budgets may be adjusted accordingly.
Respectfully submitted,
Jim Bell

In municipal elections held at the darkest hour of the Berlin blockade in 1948, West Berliners showed their defiance of the Reds by giving their beloved mayor, Ernst Reuter, a record 64.5% of the popular vote. Communism's Wall has done nothing to reduce their solidarity. Last week, urged on by posters that warned "Whoever stays at home votes for the Wall," 90% of eligible West Berliners trudged through foggy, snowy streets to give able Mayor Willy Brandt, Reuter's protégé, a landslide victory for another term in office. Brandt's Socialists got almost 62% of the 1,571,820 votes cast; in the...

Making sure she gets in her weekly salon stop, Eva Longoria headed out in Hollywood on Monday (February 17).
The "Desperate Housewives" star looked cute in a white top, black blazer, and black pants with her blue flip-flops as she made her way back to her vehicle.
They've been dating for approximately four months and Eva Longoria and Jose Antonio Baston couldn't be happier together.
The "Over Her Dead Body" actress and her handsome beau showed up at Shutters restaurant in Santa Monica on Sunday (February 16) for a leisurely brunch with a few friends.
Changing up her look just before Valentine's Day, Eva Longoria paid a visit to the Ken Paves Salon in West Hollywood on Thursday evening (February 13).
The "Desperate Housewives" starlet was all smiles as she emerged wearing a blue and white dress along with a fun and flirty new hairdo.
Bringing an end to her stay in the City of Lights, Eva Longoria showed up at the Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris, France today (February 6).
The "Over Her Dead Body" babe looked to be in a hurry as she made her way through the security checkpoint and headed for her flight to Los Angeles.
In town for business, Eva Longoria touched down at the airport in Paris, France on Tuesday (February 4).
Dressed in all black with an overcoat, scarf, and knee-high boots, the "Desperate Housewives" star had help toting her luggage.
With most of the nation either snowed in or in a deep freeze, or both, celebrities took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the situation.
While some are trying hard to keep warm, others are observing the situation from afar. Check out what they all had to say below.
She's less than two years away from her dreaded 40th birthday, but that didn't stop Eva Longoria from nabbing top honors from Maxim magazine.
The "Desperate Housewives" dame was just named Woman of the Year, and it's not surprising given her universal sex appeal.
Bringing her favorite pillow along for her trip, Eva Longoria traveled through LAX before departing on a flight today (January 5).
The "Mother Up!" hottie was dressed casually in a black leather jacket and a skull tee, completing her look with a pair of sexy yoga pants and fuzzy black boots.

Salon Lusso
In a cozy alcove lit by a chandelier, clients recline on overstuffed pillows while their feet soak in a warm bath. Nearby, a nail technician leans over a set of freshly lacquered nails, and the click of a blow dryer sends a wash of warm air across a new hairdo. This flurry of activity is typical of Salon Lusso—no surprise given the vast list of services available to men and women alike. Possible treatments include spray tanning, perms, and acrylic nail art painted with tiny likenesses of Johnny Futurepresident, an up-and-coming politician who claims to have no interest in becoming president. On Saturdays, customers can enjoy complimentary muffins and mimosas.

Our game is probably like most other friendly games around the country: low stake, drunken affairs with lots of making fun of each other in between and during hands. One of the biggest recipients of this abuse is Rob. Why? Rob plays poker all the time. He reads books on it. He lives it and loves it and is actually pretty good at it. The funny thing is Rob has NEVER won our game. Ever. So even though he has forgotten more about poker than most of us, it hasn't helped in our game - and as a result let's us make fun of him. Alot.
This got me thinking. There are lots of times when someone is incredibly well versed in a subject, but, for whatever reason, the end result just isn't there. Here at Topix I always give our designer grief, telling him that he would have never shipped Craig's list or Drudge report. They're too ugly. Shipping those designs isn't in his DNA. And yet they're two of the top sites on the net with lots of devoted users. Simple, usable and not over thought. Kind of like just playing cards and position at the poker table and not trying to spend too much time reading others. (BIG NOTE: this isn't a crack on our designer - he does amazing works and our site looks 10,000% better now that he is here).
Anyway, I think there are a lot of instances where less is more, amateurs often fare better than experts and "beginner's luck" seems to reign. Economists might refer to this as diminishing marginal returns on knowledge. I just find this to be an all too common phenomenon.
I hope it continues this Friday at the poker table - obviously I will have to re-think this post in the event Rob wins.
