Jets' Tebow reveals he has two broken ribs

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Former Florida standout Tim Tebow says he broke two ribs in the New York Jets' loss at Seattle two weeks ago.
Tebow did not play in the Jets' 49-19 loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday night, despite the offense struggling and fans chanting for him to replace Mark Sanchez at quarterback throughout the game. He was listed as questionable for the game with a rib ailment, but fully practiced Wednesday.
Tebow says he talked coach Rex Ryan into making him active, leaving third-stringer Greg McElroy inactive. Ryan says he would have played Tebow only if it was "absolutely necessary."
Tebow adds he was hurt on an offensive play against the Seahawks, and is unsure how long he will be hindered.

Small, light, loaded with great features, and it sounds fantastic.
The Behringer EUROPOWER PMP960M mixer offers superior sound quality and plenty of power for small club gigs, churches, or speaking engagements. You'll love that the PMP960M mixer keeps the weight down and outboard gear to a minimum.
Classic control, state-of-the-art sound
Each of the mic inputs on the Behringer PMP960M mixer contains top-quality built-in mic preamps with switchable +48V phantom power for condenser mics—just like in our studio mixers. Suddenly you can leave the mic preamps at home, and the kind of sound quality that was once only available in the studio is ready to go wherever you do. Plus with dual 24-bit FX processors built right in, you get 100 mind-blowing digital effect presets such as delay, chorus and reverb that you can apply two-at-a-time to any channel you like, as well as to the monitors and main output. No outboard gear needed.
This mixer comes loaded with Behringer's amazing FBQ feedback detection system, which automatically pinpoints trouble frequencies so you can snuff them out before you—or the audience—go deaf. Just touch a button and watch as trouble frequencies are indicated by red LEDs on the 7-band graphic EQ.
The Ins and Outs
The Behringer PMP960M mixer accommodates whatever the audio center of attention happens to be. In the bottom right corner of the mixer, you'll find the FX, INPUT TO MAIN and OUTPUT sections. The FX section features a FOOTSW(itch) input. This lets you connect a footswitch like the AB200 so you can remotely enable/disable either FX channel. FX OUT 1 & 2 are used to connect up to two outboard effects processors. The AUX IN 1/4" inputs in the INPUT TO MAIN section allow you to route an external stereo signal to the main mix.
The AUX IN control adjusts the volume of the external signal in the main mix. Use the 2TR IN RCA inputs to feed in external stereo signals from CD players or tape decks. The VOICE CANCELER switch allows you to eliminate the vocals from pre-recorded music for karaoke applications.
In the OUTPUT section, the REC OUT RCA outputs send line-level signals from the mixer to a recording device, so you can finally get to work on that triple-live album you've always dreamed of. The MAIN 1/4" connectors are there just in case you want to connect more amps. Connect your monitor power amps or active monitor speakers to the MONITOR output.
Channel your inner sound guru
You'll be operating this mixer like it's second nature thanks to its simple, intuitive layout. Each channel has a three-band EQ (HIGH, MID, LOW) blue; MON(itor) level in gray; FX1 in red; FX2 in orange; PAN in black (only PMP980S); LEVEL in white. There's also a switchable PAD and CLIP LED per channel.
Once you've set the levels on individual channels, it's easy to create your MAIN and MONITOR mixers. The MAIN and MONITOR sections are nearly identical, featuring graphic 7-band EQs that allow you to adjust the sound to the room acoustics. This is where the FBQ feature comes in particularly handy. Press the FBQ IN switch to activate the Feedback Detection System. Trouble frequencies are indicated by brightly lit fader LEDs. Just lower the level of the respective frequency range until feedback disappears and the LED goes out.
The FX RET controls add the selected effect signal to the main or monitor mix. When both are completely counterclockwise, no effect is applied. The 2TR IN control adjusts the volume of the 2 Track signal, if you have connected one.
Use the MAIN MASTER/MONITOR MASTER controls to adjust the main and monitor output signals, respectively. The 5-digit LED meters give you a visual representation of these volumes. The upper LIM LED illuminates when output levels are too high, activating the internal amp protection circuit.
The POWER AMP switch toggles between the PMP980S's three operating modes: stereo, mono and bridge (the power outputs of A and B on the back panel are added and provided at OUTPUT B).
Directly below, you'll find the SPEAKER PROCESSING switch that activates a filter, adapting the mixer to your loudspeakers. If your speakers have a limited frequency response in the bass range, the PMP980S can adapt itself to them.
Finally, the STANDBY switch lets you mute all input channels during breaks, preventing the microphones from picking up noise or interference. You can leave all faders untouched while you play a CD via the CD/TAPE inputs.

Unfortunately this eBook is only available from within Australia.
The Democratic Party has long presented itself as the party of the poor, the working class, the little guy. As Jay Cost's sweeping revisionist history reveals, nothing could be further from the truth.
Why have the Democrats gone from being the people's party of reform to the party of special-interest carve-outs? In Spoiled Rotten, political analyst Jay Cost tells the story of the modern Democratic party from the end of the Civil War to the present, tracing the sad decline of a once noble political coalition that is no longer capable of living up to its lofty ideals.
When Andrew Jackson formed the Democratic party in 1828, he promised to stand up for the little guy against the rule of privileged elites. What has become of this promise? According to Cost, recent history has shown the Democrats to be anything but the party of and for the people. Instead, they have become a collection of special-interest groups feeding off the federal government, exchanging votes for subsidies and benefits.
With the creation of a partisan spoils system in the nineteenth century, both parties practiced the politics of patronage. But, starting with the New Deal, Franklin Delano Roosevelt used the power of big government to transform whole classes of society into clients of the Democratic party. Urban machines, southern segregationists, and organized labor all benefited from this approach. FDR's successors???Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, and Carter???followed suit, turning African Americans, environmentalists, feminists, government workers, teachers, and a number of other groups into loyal Democratic factions. As a result, the Democratic party has become a kind of national Tammany Hall whose real purpose is to colonize the federal government on behalf of its clients.
No longer able to govern for the vast majority of the country, the Democratic party simply taxes Middle America to pay off its clients while hiding its true nature behind a smoke screen of idealistic rhetoric. Thus, the Obama health care, stimulus, and auto bailout health care bill were created not to help all Americans but to secure contributions and votes. Average Americans need to see that whatever the Democratic party claims it is doing for the country, it is in fact governing simply for its base.
Hard-hitting and uncompromising, Spoiled Rotten is a timely, powerful polemic from a rising intellectual star.

NBA Rule 12-A-VII-c, "During an altercation, all players not participating in the game must remain in the immediate vicinity of their bench. Violators will be suspended, without pay, for a minimum of one game and fined up to $35,000.The key phrase is "During an altercation."
There was a blog somewhere else today asking why players aren't suspended when they stand up and cheer during a game.
This rule is about preventing a fight between two players from escalating into something bigger.
If there is no altercation, the rule is not violated.
I guess Tim got lucky. That's all.

An original transgression is a SIN.
There are plenty of stores in San Francisco, but the GAP is one that originated in that city.
The generic term for a product taken from a mine is an ORE.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The sixth-ranked Saint Leo University women's soccer team handed No. 10 Rollins College their first loss of the season, breaking a ten-game shutout streak and keeping their unblemished record intact as they defeated the Tars 2-0 on Friday evening at University Field.
The Lions advance their mark to 11-0-1, and 4-0-1 in Sunshine State Conference action, and move into sole possession of first place in the conference standings. Rollins swallows their first defeat of their 2011 campaign, and dips to 9-1-1, and 4-1-0 in SSC play.
The Green and Gold used an electrifying first half to get a jump on their opponent, scoring their goals in the 18th and 20th minutes. Ari Foreman fired the game-winning tally past Rollins keeper Michelle Dillingham at the 17:42 mark, notching the first goal scored against Dillingham this season. Foreman put the Lions on the scoreboard after grabbing a cross into the box from Jasmine Johnson, and then beating her defender for a solid shot on center frame.
Saint Leo roared back two minutes later and the Lions secured their two goal advantage as Cassie Barbaresi and Johnson teamed-up to make things happen. Barbaresi won first touch off of a Rollins goal kick and slotted the ball through to Johnson, who beat three defenders and blasted the shot off of Dillingham's fingertips with 19:59 on the clock for the second tally of the game.
The first half came to a close with the Lions holding onto the two-goal lead, and hunkered down throughout the second stanza on defense to hold the Tars at bay. Stalwart defensive play from Francesca Williams, Line Pedersen, Aija Bent-Trinder, and Johnson helped thwart the Tars' runs, while a strong performance from midfielders Sam Butterbaugh, Alicia Schuering, Sherrie Gessin, and Barbaresi helped turn away Rollins' attempts at goal.
Laura Carstens earned her fourth shutout of the season thanks to a seven-save performance on the evening. The Horsens, Denmark native made four clutch saves in the first half, with the Lions posting one team save, to help hold their opponent silent, and set aside three more shots in the second period to keep the Tars off the scoreboard.
After 90 minutes, the Tars led the shot count, 13-6, and had more opportunities on corner kicks, 8-5. But the Lions' eight saves to Rollins' three truly helped make the difference in the final score.
The Lions return to action on Tuesday, October 11, when they host NAIA powerhouse Lindsey Wilson College. Kickoff against the Blue Raiders is set for 7 p.m. at University Field. For the latest news, updates, and information on the Saint Leo women's soccer team, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

PHILADELPHIA - For the second straight year, the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team and its fans will raise money through the Charge for a Cure program with every charge the Quakers take during the 2011-12 season.
Last year, 68 gracious donors joined the cause and the Quakers raised more than $4,000. Combined with the Pink Zone game and the 'Pack the House' Challenge, the Quakers raised a total of $6,647 toward foundations for ALS, Lupus, Parkinson's, Breast Cancer and Cystic Fibrosis last year.
Here is how it works: At the end of each month, the coaching staff will total the number of offensive charges the Quakers have taken as a team. Fans can pledge in advance a donation per offensive charge, typically between fifty cents and $1 per charge for the season. Last year, the team finished the year with 53 charges, but your donation will not exceed 50 charges for the 2011-2012 season.
Here is who benefits: The team will send a check to the respective organizations listed below.
November (5 games) - American Cancer Society (Cancer)
December (5 games) - Autism Speaks (Autism)
January (7 games) - Luekemia and Lymphoma Society (Luekemia)
February (8 games) - The ALS Association of America (ALS)
March (3 games) - The Michael J. Fox Foundation (Parkinson's Disease)
Here is how to join: Please join the women's basketball team as it looks to make a difference in the lives of the people that this disease affects every day. To join the team in Charge for a Cure, contact assistant coach Kara Cassidy at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Once again, a huge thank you to our 2010-11 donors!!

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. - A woman picking up her child at a South Florida daycare center found a newborn baby wrapped in a blanket on the ground across from the parking lot.
The woman flagged down a daycare bus driver Thursday afternoon and officials called 911.
Pompano Beach Fire Rescue crews took the baby to Holy Cross Hospital, where he was listed in good condition. Officials say the baby, whose umbilical cord was still attached, is between one and three days old.
Under Florida's safe haven law, parents can drop off a newborn at a fire station or hospital with no questions asked. Leaving a baby anywhere else can result in criminal charges. The baby will then be turned over to a state-licensed adoption agency.

Early deficits and late droughts added up to defeat for the LSU Lady Tigers last Monday against No. 14 Texas A&M and Thursday versus No. 12 Tennessee.
On Sunday, the Lady Tigers flipped the script, coming out hot and finishing stronger against the highest-ranked team of a highly challenging week, upsetting No. 9 Georgia 62-54 before an announced pink-clad crowd of 5,676 in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
LSU's best win of the season to date — the Lady Tigers' only previous victory against a ranked opponent was a 71-63 win over No. 12 West Virginia in a November tournament in Miami — pushed its record to 14-10 overall and 5-6 in the Southeastern Conference.
Modest numbers by the typically lofty standards of LSU women's basketball. But for a program in rebuilding mode, it put LSU back on track to finishing at least .500 in SEC play.
That's likely to be a must if the Lady Tigers are to be playing in the PMAC when they host first- and second-round NCAA tournament games again in March.
"It really motivates us to finish out the rest of the season strong," senior guard Adrienne Webb said. "We came in with high intensity, knowing we were going to win."
Against A&M and Tennessee, LSU fell behind 9-0 off the tip and struggled down the stretch. A&M outscored LSU 13-1 in the final four minutes of its 74-57 win, and Tennessee took advantage of missed free throws and a critical turnover to score five straight points in the final 16 seconds to nip LSU 64-62.
Against Georgia (20-4, 8-3), LSU scored first on a basket by Theresa Plaisance and weathered a 7-0 Lady Bulldogs run with a pair of Webb 3-pointers to trail only 9-8 five minutes in.
LSU took command late in a seesaw first half, finishing on an 8-2 run to take a 31-25 halftime lead thanks to a putback basket by freshman forward Derreyal Youngblood.
Georgia rallied with an 8-0 surge to take a 40-38 lead with 13:02 left on a fast-break basket by Jasmine James. But LSU cracked back with an 8-0 run of its own, taking the lead for good on a putback basket by freshman guard Danielle Ballard.
Ballard made just 2 of 17 shots, but the slippery 5-foot-9 guard piled up 15 rebounds, a season-high for any LSU player in an SEC game.
Junior guard Jeanne Kenney, still hobbled slightly by the sprained knee she suffered against A&M, said a jumper Plaisance made off an inbound pass to tie the score at 40 with 11:47 to go was the game's critical moment.
"Theresa told me to get her the ball," said Kenney, who had 11 points. "That's a testament to her growth."
Georgia got within 53-52 with 1:46 left on a basket by Anne Marie Armstrong. But LSU had the best finishing kick.
Plaisance drained a turnaround 12-foot jumper from the right side of the lane for a 55-52 lead with 1:33 left. The Lady Tigers held Georgia at bay by converting 7 of 10 free throws.
Plaisance, the SEC's leading scorer coming in at 18 points per game, finished with a team-high 13 points, nine rebounds and three blocks. Webb added 12 points and five rebounds as LSU outboarded the athletic Lady Bulldogs 53-45.
Forward Jasmine Hassell hassled LSU all day, recording 18 points and 12 rebounds. Tiaria Griffin was Georgia's only other double-figure scorer with 10 points.
"There's no question we played hard and, for most of the day, we played smart," said Georgia coach Andy Landers, who left Baton Rouge three wins shy of 900 career victories. "We didn't hit shots and missed some good looks at the basket. We switched from man to zone and had success when we switched. It's not like we played horrible, but you have to give LSU credit. They took it inside like they had to, and it worked in the second half."
LSU shot only 33.9 percent, but Georgia was worse at 30.1 percent, including 3 of 17 (17.6 percent) from 3-point range.
"I thought we were effective at the beginning at trying to disrupt their guard play," LSU coach Nikki Caldwell said. "In the second half, we mixed it up a bit and played some man — especially late in the game — and we were able to play confident."
"We couldn't have done it without Danielle's 15 rebounds and Danielle and Adrienne's defense up top," Kenney said. "They couldn't figure out what to do."
Perhaps what LSU should do is wear pink more often. The Lady Tigers wore pink uniforms and shoes for their annual Pink Game to raise breast cancer awareness, improving to 6-0 in home pink games, including 3-0 against Georgia.
LSU has won seven straight in the PMAC against Georgia, all against ranked teams.
The Lady Tigers have a week off before visiting Mississippi State on Feb. 17. LSU's next home game is Feb. 24 against No. 10 Kentucky.

Best Dressed: The Week In Outfits
When I walk into Rosie Assoulin's Tribeca studio, I don't immediately see her. Instead, I am greeted by her husband and business partner, Max, and three very friendly members of Team Rosie. It's fitting that we meet this way. Assoulin is as humble as they come and insistent that her success (Lupita Nyong'o wore Assoulin's designs for her People's Most Beautiful cover) is all thanks to her team. "We're going to just take it one day at a time," she says of her success. "That's what we've been doing, otherwise you'll go crazy." In an industry that can feel all about self-promotion, Rosie shines brightly without focusing the spotlight on herself.
Coming up on the one-year anniversary of launching her namesake line, Assoulin has made quite an impression on the fashion industry. There is not one girl I know that doesn't immediately swoon at the sight of a Rosie Assoulin piece, and how can you not? She designs everything from gowns to cashmere tracksuits to a modern take on JNCO jeans, and makes it all look elegant.
"I don't want to be trendy," she tells me. "What we really focus on is building a core group of women that we're creating these clothes for so that they can always rely on us [in the same way] I've relied on designers growing up. We want to be around for a while. Longevity is our goal. A sizzle is nice, but not a burn."

Perfect Pants 11-23-2016
The Volcom pants are perfect. With a slight stretchy fit, these pants are true to size if not a bit larger and the stretchy material makes the pants fit even better.
Best Pants For MANY Reasons! 10-14-2016
First off the quality of these are amazing. I waited to write my review until one full year of school went by. I got 3 pairs for my son (he requested Volcom). He has to wear uniform pants for school every day and he's a true boy, always playing and eventually wearing holes in his knees. All pairs survived fall and winter for the school year last year AND they are being worn still at the beginning of fall. They're getting slightly short so I'll be ordering 8's now. He also elected to wear them on casual days also, over his jeans because the material is so soft and they look very stylish as well. He's a slim guy, wore a boys 7 and the adjustable waste was a PLUS! I hope the 8's have the adjustable waste also. I HIGHLY recommend these pants for many reasons.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/2/2012 (2028 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TAMPA, Fla. -- They're certainly not going to remind anyone of those potent Edmonton Oilers squads of the 1980s, the Montreal Canadiens dynasty of the late '70s or the Big, Bad Bruins.
But the Winnipeg Jets appear to have rediscovered -- and, yes, the evidence is still circumstantial even after Thursday's 2-1 overtime victory over the Tampa Lighting -- their winning blueprint.
And it is built on this: All hands on deck with 20 guys all pitching in, stellar goaltending and just a smidgen of offence.
Now comes the next critical hurdle -- doing it again immediately against the Florida Panthers tonight in Sunrise.
"We have to have the same mentality," said Jets winger Blake Wheeler, who was outstanding against the Bolts. "Never quit, never say die is our motto right now. We're going to play you hard for 60 minutes and if you beat us then hats off to you, but it's going to be tough."
So awful for most of January, the Jets have been a different squad, if not a tad more opportunistic, in the two games since the all-star break. The Jets followed up Tuesday's 2-1 shootout victory in Philadelphia with another defensive gem as Ondrej Pavelec kicked out 30 shots, Dustin Byfuglien returned from injury to give the squad more-than-expected minutes and Kyle Wellwood played the hero at 3:14 of overtime, sending 16,923 at Tampa Bay Times Forum -- aside from a very vocal minority of Jets faithful -- home in a sour mood.
Asked if he could remember the last time he potted an OT winner, Wellwood grinned then said:
"I have no idea. I don't even know if I have one. That's a nice feeling, even though there was an empty net to put it in."
And then he hammered home what the Jets, now 24-22-6, are all about with 30 games remaining.
"The defence and Pavelec are the story of our team right now," Wellwood said. "We've got some things at forward where everybody's kind of in different spots that they're not accustomed to, besides the top line. We're trying to get the job done offensively and it's a work in progress."
The Jets managed to shut down a Lightning squad that had reeled off five consecutive wins with their defensive effort, limiting the red-hot Steven Stamkos -- the NHL's top goal man with 33 -- to just two shots while blocking 16. And they needed it, given this: Winnipeg has just three regulation goals in the last four games.
"I'm not really too concerned with our scoring too much," said head coach Claude Noel. "We're playing well, we're playing hard. I like some of the things that we do and we're managing the game in the proper way, we're managing the score and our effort's good. Can you keep it up? Right now it's about winning, we're winning some games and that's a good thing."
Just as important is the Jets have got it done on the road this week. It's still not close to being respectable, but Winnipeg's road record is now 9-14-4 and the mantra continues to be to tread water during this current stretch of nine road contests in 11 games before an eight-game stint at home from Feb. 17-March 5.
"Our backs are against the wall, kinda," added Wheeler. "We dug ourselves a bit of a hole in January and we came out of it and realized we were still in the race. It's a tight one, there's teams creeping up behind us and we're creeping up on teams, too. We're focused on if we can get to that long stretch of home games, I don't know when it is exactly but it's coming up, if we can get somewhere near that top eight when we go into that stretch then there's no reason we can't be in it until the end."

Any freezepop that isn't Leibers, is a tasteless knock off.
As a kid, blue was my favorite flavor, it had that extra sweet tartness that I'd suck out as I bit off a piece and press it against my palate.
I'd push the squeezed ice further back and crush it with my molars, the crystals of ice cooling my inner cheeks.
There would be nothing left to swallow.

I can't lie...I was dreading having to do something with boring ol' turkey meat all day today (lean turkey meat at that ). So when I got home, I did my best to spruce them up a bit so they wouldn't be too boring. They actually turned out really good!
Tossed in a couple of hickory chunks for a bit of smoke flavor, and I dusted the patties generously with Weber's Steak and Chop Seasoning.
Added a slice of Sharp Cheddar to each one to finish.
Then made them into patty melts once inside....they had cheese, onions and BBQ sauce on them. The BBQ Sauce and the extra smoke flavor turned these lean turkey burgers into something worth while.
I'm actually looking forward to making these again...something I never thought I'd say about LEAN turkey meat!

Twitter co-founder Evan Williams is building his current start-up with a completely different business – and spiritual – structure in mind.
The freewheeling, non-hierarchical organisation popular in Silicon Valley technology companies is not the order of the day at Obvious Corporation, the re-launched incubator and web publishing platform Mr Williams founded with comrades Biz Stone and Jason Goldman in the pre-Twitter days.
"People romanticise start-up culture," he said, speaking at the Wisdom 2.0 Conference in San Francisco on Friday. "People think: Freedom! No job descriptions! Damn with the rules! Actually, it creates tons of anxiety and inefficiency." Read more

Sol Eskenazi was named first team All-Ivy in singles for the second consecutive season. On the doubles side, Eskenazi is joined by her partner Sonya Latycheva as the duo earned first team All-Ivy honors as well.

About this paper
The promise of big data has tantalized the industry for years, but until recently, few organizations have been able to use the data they've collected to solve business problems. While big data as a term is being viewed in some circles as a catchphrase, it is important to understand the real impact of the big data phenomenon. In December 2012, a global survey was developed to understand the current state of the big data industry. This report presents the results of that survey and includes insights about: how companies are planning big data strategies, the technologies they're using as the foundation for these strategies and how they're using big data to solve real business problems.

(CBS News) MTV's newest reality show, "Buckwild," is being described as the "Jersey Shore" of Appalachia. And now, a senator from West Virginia is condemning the new program's view of his home state.
The show is about a group of wild and crazy friends partying, hooking up, and cursing up a storm. And people in West Virginia are not happy about it.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D), said, "In no way shape or form is this reality, and definitely not reality in West Virginia. We have an awful lot of constituents. They're very much offended that they're trying to portray our state in this light. As I'm told and I understand, this was all scripted and ... (they would do) four or five or six takes if that's what's needed to make it look as outrageous as it possibly can."
MTV declined our interview request, but the show's executive producer told Entertainment Weekly magazine, "It's not like looking at a train wreck. ... I think it's going to get people talking and it might change people's perspectives. ... It will be very refreshing to the MTV audience."
But Manchin said "Buckwild" is offensive and asked MTV to pull the plug. Manchin said, "If it was your state, and these were your children, how would you feel about it?"
The show is taking the coveted Thursday night time slot being vacated by "Jersey Shore," which rankled Italian-Americans before its premiere and drew the ire of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who said in Nov. 2011, "I want to remind all of you of something: they're not from New Jersey -- they're from New York."
"Buckwild" is an example of a genre some have dubbed "redneck reality," like TLC's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." Animal Planet has two hits, "Call of the Wildman" and "Hillbilly Handfishin'. "
But Manchin says "Buckwild" has gone too far. "If that's what you're calling entertainment, it's a sad state of affairs in America today," he said. "I love West Virginia, and I know this is not the West Virginia that I know, the people that I know, and it's not the youth that I know. And I would hate to see this depicted as the norm."
That may be, but it's also the reality of reality television.

Behind the Music
Behind the Music
| Posted by LA Phil Staff in Getting There
The LA Phil's road crew - (from l-r) Jesse Kolouch, Production Director Paul Geller, Alex Quintanar and Chris Duarte (not pictured - Production Manager Jeff Wallace)
Putting a tour together takes work. It's not all standing ovations and sightseeing - it's WORK. Travel schedules are brutal, rehearsal times short and hotel checkouts early. And, indeed, when the orchestra arrives in a location, the road crew has likely gone ahead of them to make sure the aforementioned time crunches affect the performances as little as possible.
Take the LA Phil's current tour, for example. As of today (that'd be Thursday, MAR 14), the entire orchestra and traveling staff, 10 YOLA kids and three truckloads of equipment are all in London, ready to perform the first concert of the tour - a Green Umbrella program with music by John Adams, Unsuk Chin and the orchestra's own Joe Pereira. Great, right? Everything's gone smoothly, right?
Not on your life.
As noted earlier in this blog, the orchestra's equipment went out on Monday in advance of the actual musicians - and, when you're putting on a staged oratorio along with two separate orchestral programs, that's a lot of equipment. According to members of the road crew, the flight to Holland - the closest airport to London that can handle so much cargo - was uneventful, but upon arrival, inclement weather in London stalled the caravan to Old Blighty. That's right - it snowed, forcing the production team to scramble a little bit. LA Phil Production Director Paul Geller picks up the story here:
HEADS UP! Truck Traffic Forbidden to Travel in the Nord Pas de Calais Region due to Heavy snow and bad weather conditions. [S...] called me just before we finished loading out from Amsterdam. He's very concerned because there is such a long back up of trucks that even if they should open in the near future he does not think we will make the load-in.
But he wouldn't be our Prodction Director without a few tricks up his sleeve:
We diverted the three trucks to Rotterdam and have booked them on tonight's overnight ferry to Hull which will get into port at 6:30 a.m. in the morning. They will then run down to London but may not make midday. We have informed [J...] at the Barbican so that she can inform our load in crew and make time changes if necessary. We may need to re-adjust the orchestra instrument pick up time but will get a better feel for it in the morning.
Finally, on Wednesday afternoon, the road crew was able to get to the Barbican Centre so the orchestra group - yes, there's multiple groups of orchestra members on this tour - could have their first rehearsal for tonight's Green Umbrella concert.
And that doesn't even take into account the fact that Principal Clarinetist Michele Zukovsky left her reeds here in LA, requiring Orchestra Personnel Manager Jeffrey Neville to bring them when he left a day later.
Luckily, the LA Phil, from orchestra to staff to crew, is made up of people that can get the job done. It's proven time and again here at home, and, in that sense, being on the road is no different.
Road Crew
Great post! It is so easy to forget about the folks who make sure everything is in the right place at the right time, and the miracles they sometimes perform. Ms. Zukovsky would probably sound marvelous playing any reed on any instrument, but I am glad someone was able to bring the reeds that show London how wonderful a clarinet is supposed to sound.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A newspaper reports that the number of criminal and civil cases that go to trial in Ohio has reached a historic low.
Based on numbers from the Ohio Supreme Court, The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1aW2zpE ) figured that just 2.5 percent of criminal cases in the state's common pleas courts were resolved by going to trial in 2012. That's the most recent year for which statistics are available.
Experts are citing a number of reasons for the low trial rates, including the escalating cost of taking civil cases to trial and tougher sentencing laws that make criminal defendants more willing to take plea deals.
Common pleas courts handle felony crimes and civil disputes involving more than $15,000. Trial rates are similar in municipal courts.

Users today want more visual content. They like viewing flash animations, video tutorials, and audio clips along with the informative text that communicators write. A picture is not worth a thousand words anymore, it is worth a million hits!
We added some visual treatment to our Help topics and the results were a delight! Not only did the user experience improve, adding images and videos increased user participation and brought down negative ratings in some cases.
Here are some visual strategies that are likely to strike gold:
- Artwork that saves localization costs: Photoshop Elements has a lot of these examples, whether it is creating an Out of bounds effect or removing red eyefrom images. These articles have been instrumental in saving localization costs. We took care to include the image area with accuracy and not include toolbars, panels, or any localization candidates.
- Visual overviews for easier navigation: In image editing/publishing tools like Photoshop Elements or Illustrator, users often struggle with the tool panels. The tooltip is usually not enough for new users to get started. We carefully studied the user feedback and figured out that our users were looking for a Preview! The Selection tools page in PSE and the Drawing tools gallery page in AI have wowed users worldwide. Many users have them as their favorite bookmarks. An illustration of the tool, a short description, and a linked topic that has more information about the tool. That's easily one of the best examples of navigation-friendly online documentation.
- Playing at a theater near you: To tell a story through a video is entertaining yet informative. InDesign has been premiering some really good videos to amaze graphics aficionados. Adding page numbers and exporting content to EPUB are some effectively executed examples.
- Traditional with a twist: Whether it is quizzing users or helping users create question slides, Adobe Captivate has used tabular definitions and simple callout diagrams to educate and engage users.
As illustrated in the examples above, visual illustrations with text are the flavor of the times gone by and the times to come.
And we can't help asking our users "Would you like some fries with your text?" 🙂

In terms of holding interest, enterprise technical architecture management (ETAM) ranks somewhere between watching paint dry and grass grow, with the additional disadvantage of being intellectually demanding. The less technical your audience, the more ETAM serves as a side-effect-free alternative to Lunesta.
The news gets worse: ETAM is the one subject where IT needs to engage business leaders on a technical level -- a conversation about the enterprise technical architecture that's limited to metaphors and business terms won't get the job done.
[ Find out the 10 business skills every IT pro must master and beware the 9 warning signs of bad IT architecture. | Get expert advice about planning and implementing your BYOD strategy with InfoWorld's 29-page "Mobile and BYOD Deep Dive" PDF special report. | For more of Bob Lewis' continuing IT management wisdom, check out his Advice Line newsletter. ]
ETAM is strategically vital, an essential aspect of competent IT management, and intellectually challenging and satisfying besides. But is there any easy way to interest business executives in it? Sadly, no.
One alternative is resorting to threats. I once told a client's CEO he had two choices about this: He could trust me, or I'd explain it to him. He caught a glimpse of my first slide and said, "I think I'd rather trust you."
It isn't that the business case is complicated -- quite the opposite. But proving it is excruciatingly difficult, even to a technical audience interested in the topic. Making the case for ETAM to someone who would rather have his pancreas eaten by ferrets? Good luck with that.
The business and politics of ETAM
Here's ETAM's business case in one sentence: We need to spend more time, effort, and money on everything we do now, so we won't have to spend a lot more time, effort, and money a few years from now on everything we do then. It's very much the same as the case for preventive maintenance.
If the business case is that simple, why do most enterprises have a hard time making ETAM happen? Call it the altruism obstacle. ETAM asks everyone in the business to spend more and wait longer now so that someone else in the business will benefit in the future. And it asks the CEO to accept higher costs and smaller profits this year, so profits a few years from now will be better than they otherwise would.
It's even worse if the company charges back for IT services. If it does, ETAM's overt costs and deferred benefits aren't just a matter of image damage ("Why do your projects cost so much?"). It actually hits business budgets.
The ETAM political anticlincher: If it delivers its promised benefits, there will be no way to prove it. Successful prevention is, after all, indistinguishable from absence of risk.
In trying to sell the business on ETAM, you're best served by following a double-barreled approach: Limit your discussion to the ETAM decisions that are truly business-driven (most aren't), and present the anti-ETAM political case bluntly, in all its unsavory glory.
Non-business-driven ETAM decisions
That IT must be business-driven is a truism, and like so many other truisms, it's mostly false. When the subject is enterprise technical architecture, business strategy and tactics have little impact on most of the choices IT has to make. Even the business architecture is often irrelevant.
For example: IT needs a way to manage structured data and the transactions that feed it. As explained last week, that's the services-level description. That's followed by choosing the class of technology needed to provide that service. In this case, IT's alternatives are either an RDBMS, an RDBMS, or an RDBMS. When the subjects are transaction processing and structured data management, the solution is a relational database management system. All the business-driving IT in the world won't change that.
When the time comes to choose which RDBMS to build the company on, some business information can be handy. How fast the execs plan for the company to grow (measured in transactions per minute, if possible) will help weed out platforms that fail the Goldilocks Test. Though there may very well be more information that would help inform this decision, once you get beyond sizing, you won't find much connection between what the business is going to do and which RDBMS to buy.

Web Surfing at Sea
|PMY Tested: MiniWEB Satellite Communications
Boaters MiniWEB seems like an ironic name for this interesting new hardware/service product, as it's not remotely capable of Web surfing (or even phone calls). Instead MiniWEB manages to wring a host of other useful, and fairly thrifty, marine communications from the low-power, small-data-packet architecture of the Orbcomm LEO satellite network. The transceiver is a ruggedly built, book-size box, which only needs a VHF-style antenna. It draws little power and can be left on continuously to automatically download incoming e-mail, send your GPS position out as desired, or even to deliver alarms when you're ashore.
Wiring the MiniWEB communicator to antenna, power, GPS, and laptop sounds more complicated than it actually was. In less than an hour, I was loading the system's straightforward software and communicating via satellite. I was impressed. With data limited to--and billed by--text characters (bytes), it's important that the service make the most of each one. MiniWEB does this in numerous ways. For instance, it has rigorous but simple-to-implement e-mail filtering so that you don't find yourself paying to read spam. And you can access your e-mail, including the filtered-out stuff, when ashore via the Web to further minimize airtime costs. MiniWEB also offers easy ways to turn a basic text e-mail into either a fax or voice message on the land end, and has two options for getting location-specific text weather forecasts.
If the transceiver is wired to a GPS, you can send positions with any message or automatically at regular intervals with a link to the appropriate chart on Maptech's Web site. The optional boat-monitoring kit is fairly rudimentary, only watching bilges and voltages, but MiniWEB is darn clever to let you make use of the sat connection whether you're on or off the boat.
Orbcomm satellites will not always be in sight of both you and a ground station, but the resulting five- to 20-minute transmission lags won't matter much to the sort of narrow band services described here. The good news for adventurous cruisers is that coverage includes almost all of the Americas, Europe, the Far East, and a lot of blue water. MiniWEB hardware starts at $799 before options, and the premium service plan offers 8,000 characters of messaging per month for $30, with added characters at $0.15 per 100. The software nicely keeps track of characters used, and MiniWEB is a rare communications service that offers a low maintenance charge when you don't need to use it for months at a time. At presstime, MiniWEB decided to fix the confusion over its name by changing it to Sky-Mate.

Some insider General Hospital info! In about two weeks Michael shoots Kate! It's just a flesh wound, requiring minor surgery. Could be both Morgan and Carly see it happen. There is talk that Laura Wright (Carly) is doing a PSA about guns and kids, but no confirmation on that. Also we hear that this Daniel guy kidnaps Kristina (why I don't know), and Jerry is the one to save her and bring her back to Alexis. I also believe (not sure) that it is Nik who hits Sam, although Liz is eventually arrested for the crime. Stay tuned. Contributed by LH
For some number of weeks I have been following the reality beauty pageant show for mothers and daughters, "Crowned, The Mother of All Pageants." Tonight was the final showdown for the remaining contestants. Along with the three judges, the contestants, performed and conducted themselves just like a real beauty pageant. For the ceremonial aspect, Jack Wagner (Nick, Bold & the Beautiful) was the master of ceremonies. Wagner introduced and announced scores after each of the typical events; swimsuit, evening gown, and interview. What was untypical of a pageant, was a surprise de-sashing, which means to narrow the teams to three, from four, someone was surprisingly and suddenly without warning, cut from the competition. Jack Wagner was personable and a natural host for such an event. It made me wonder will B&B decide to have a similar competition? Stephanie and Felicia, Taylor and Phoebe, and of course the mother/ daughter duo that he has been married to, Brooke and Bridget. What fun that would be to see them all battle things out on a stage with questions and swimsuits rather than in the bedroom or boardroom, all MC'd by Jack/Nick. Contributed by DR

Congratulations to Alicia Minshew (Kendall) who became engaged to long time, live-in beau, Richie Herschenfeld, just before Christmas. It was December 13, and after a romantic dinner that he prepared, as Minshew does not cook, he popped the question by engraving it on a charm on a bracelet from Tiffany's and hanging it with a big red bow on their Christmas tree. In regard to the charm bracelet and it's very special charm, Minshew told SOD: "'It said, 'I love you,' on one side, and I thought, 'Oh, that's sweet,' and then I turned it on to the other side, and it said, 'Will you marry me, my sweet Lish.' I swear to God my whole entire body went numb. He said, 'I've waited my whole life for you. Will you be my wife?' I combusted into tears.'" Although no wedding date has yet been set, the two plan on making it a 2008 nuptial. Contributed by LMS

In this week's latest Soap Opera Digest there is some question as to Maurice Benard's (Sonny) future with General Hospital. The Emmy-winner who joined the soap in 1993 -- he took off in 1997 only to return in 1998 -- and is often lauded by his peers as a man whose talent significantly outshines his heartthrob status -- is pondering whether or not he will sign again with GH this summer when his current contract expires. Should Benard walk, it would leave a huge hole in the show's storytelling as the character of Sonny Corinthos has remained front and center on screen while viewers became intimately familiar with the character's disruptive childhood as well as his climb to the top of the underworld. Benard also created huge followings with almost every leading lady he has been paired with over the years, such as Sarah Brown and Tamara Braun (ex-Carlys), Megan Ward (Kate), Natalia Livingston (Emily) ... and the grandest of them all: Brenda (Vanessa Marcil). Time will tell. Contributed by LDB

Matthew Florida (ex-Decker) of Days of our Lives, is reading for the The Weinstein Company's feature film "Superhero" as "Superman".

Two Carlys for the price of one! First, there was the news that General Hospital's original Carly - Sarah Brown (1996-2001) -- would return to the show in an entirely different role as whack job don Anthony Zaccharra's (Bruce Weitz) daughter, Claudia. Now comes word that her replacement, Tamara Braun, who offered a different spin on Carly from 2001 thru 2005 is joining Days Of Our Lives. According to the actress' official website (http://tamara-braun.net/ ), Braun will take on the character of Ava, a woman from Steve's (Stephen Nichols) past. Her first airdate will be February 8. And, of course, should anyone forget, Brown heads home to Port Charles on January 31. It is indeed a good time to be a soap fan! Contributed by LDB

General Hospital fans, headsd up. It's unconfirmed but a few of my sources have told me that Sonny and Claudia (yes, Sarah Brown) will share some romance -- for one night anyway! It has something to do with Kate refusing Sonny's marriage proposal, leading him to go all berserk and angry, finally leaving him to hook up the said Claudia. A reunion of sorts for Carly and Sonny fans. According to her official website (www.sarahbrown.net), Sarah Brown's first airdate on GH as Claudia will be January 31. In case anyone has forgotten, Claudia is Johnny Zaccharra's (Brandon Barash) sister; Brown is committed to GH for one year. So it'll then be Kate chasing Sonny. I guess the show wanted to give them some angst to work through which will also turn out to be its February sweeps story. Contributed by LDB
Did you know that General Hospital's Tyler Christopher (Nikolas) and Kimberly McCullough (Robin) have paired off away from the camera? Relax, everyone, it's purely professional.

Security Council: Statement by Ambassador Wittig on International Tribunals
(Security Council: Statement as delivered by Ambassador Wittig in a meeting on the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda)
"Mr. President,
I would like to start by re-iterating Germany's full support for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). Their contribution to the fight against impunity for serious international crimes is invaluable. We thank Presidents Meron and Joensen as well as the ICTY and ICTR Prosecutors for their recent assessments. We commend their efforts undertaken to implement the respective completion strategies for both tribunals. And let me add that we welcome the progress made in ensuring a smooth transition to the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT). We are fully aware of the manifold challenges faced by both Tribunals during this transitional period.
Turning to the ICTR: the report of 5 November clearly outlines successes and remaining challenges. We congratulate the ICTR for having concluded virtually all of its remaining work at trial level, with only one case remaining at the trial level, and all appeals projected to be completed by the end of 2014.
We once again commend Rwanda for having strengthened its national legal system so as to allow the adjudication of cases transferred from the ICTR. We are also grateful to the Governments of both Benin and Mali who have recently enabled the transfer of convicted persons to their respective territory for the serving of remaining sentences. And we re-iterate our call to the International Community and in particular to concerned states in the region to undertake serious efforts in order to bring the remaining nine fugitives to justice. Likewise, we encourage further efforts to solve the issue of the five aquitted persons who currently remain in Arusha under the protection of the ICTR.
Mr. President,
The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia has played a key role in strengthening the rule of law and promoting long-term stability and reconciliation in the Balkans. Moreover, it embodies a unique success story. With the arrests of the last three fugitives – Mladic, Hadzic and Karadzic – the ICTY has implemented its mandate to fight impunity and not to let the perpetrators of outrageous crimes escape justice.
The jurisprudence of the ICTY, and of the ICTR, is source of inspiration for all national and international jurisdictions that will have to address such crimes. Their record shows: International criminal justice does exist, it prevails and, sooner or later, those responsible for serious international crimes will be held accountable.
And let me be clear: We owe the tribunals full respect – respect for both their status as independent criminal courts and for their judgments. Both tribunals consistently uphold high standards of justice as well as all principles relating to the right of a fair trial, including the right of appeal. While we recognize that some recent judgments of the ICTY have been met with strong emotions, we call upon all to deal with such emotions in a responsible manner.
Furthermore, statements questioning the impartiality of the ICTY only serve to undermine the mandate and authority of the tribunal and are detrimental to the process of reconciliation in the region. This cannot be tolerated. Germany is committed to continue its full support for the Tribunal and calls upon all states to cooperate with the Tribunal to the fullest extent.
As the ICTY nears the completion of its mandate, the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia must intensify their efforts to carry on the ICTY's work of prosecuting crimes. This includes cooperation both with the ICTY as well as between these three states. We are aware of the prosecutor's continued concerns in this regard, and we are alarmed by the announcement made yesterday by Serbia in a letter to the Secretary-General to reduce its cooperation with the ICTY to the technical level despite the commitment expressed by the new Serbian government in its recent meetings with the prosecutor.
Mr. President,
As Germany is nearing the end of its term as a non-permanent member of the Council, I would like to assure both the Council as well as the principals of both Tribunals of our ongoing and full support for their work in the future.
I thank you."

Sweet baby Jesus don't try and comment on what number it is or should be.
and everyone disregards the idea for an "iPhone 4G". If Apple does spring for LTE on the devices(which would make sense with a Fall 2012 release) then it could be that. But the biggest thing is nobody will know till Apple actually says it. and once they do it'll feel like we've known it the whole time.
No more name comments please!
It's always fun to see nerds fight, especially when no one mentioned that the first iPhone was the iPhone2G
Not this again....It will be the iPhone 5!!!!!! If I had the money I would bet 10 million dollars. Throw all your "logic" out the window. Apple named their second phone the 3G because it used the wireless "3G" technology. It was a marketing tactic. The next iPhone will be iPhone 5 simply because of marketing, my meaning.....everyone is already talking about and building the hype about the iPhone 5, free advertising. Absolutely no way Apple would skip 5.
It's actually going to be called, "iPhone 4G" but will still be the 6th generation iphone because we know now that for sure that apple will implement 4G LTE into the new up coming iPhone model. It's a marketing tactic that they used with iPhone 3G as well, so it makes perfect sense.

Did you know?Loteni, which means 'in the ashes' in isiZulu, was so named due to the burnt appearance of the shale found in the river valley.
Animals like the oribi, mountain reedbuck, zebra, warthog, bush pig, duiker and baboon roam freely in the upper reaches of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands where the Poplar Grove and White Rocks hiking trails take you close enough to see these species in their natural habitat.
Poplar Grove and White Rocks are farms in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, each of which features a distinctly different hiking route.
The 6km Porcupine Trail from Poplar Grove takes about three hours and passes through a wooded region, across a series of suspension bridges, up a mountain ladder and over the Mooi River more than once.
At 9km, the Oribi Trail from White Rocks takes a day and traverses open grassland along an undulating route featuring many waterfalls.
By request you may also detour to take in San rock art, and there's ample opportunity to cast a line into a river or dam along the way.
Hikers are provided with a picnic basket containing water, cool drinks and snacks. Should you prefer to take your own refreshments, costs will be reduced accordingly.
Hiking in the summer heat can be a hot and tiring experience so you'll be glad to hear that provision is also made for a spot of canoeing and swimming along the way.
For safety reasons children under the age of 12 years are not permitted on full-day hikes and children under the age of nine are not allowed on the half-day hike.

quote:Originally posted by Beans15Dallas' GM clearly wanted strength down the middle by getting Seguin, Peverly, and Horcoff all in the same day. Horcoff is a solid hockey player, he is just over paid. Dallas had the money and wanted a 'leadership' kind of centre. Horcoff is versitily and can play 1st/2nd line if needed but is more well suited to be an offensively threatening 3rd liner. One thing many people don't recognize is Horcoff's value on the PP. I can't recall the actual stats but last season the Oilers PP was close to 30% with Horcoff in the line-up and like 14% without him. Unfortuantely, his play has been overshadowed for years because of the horrible contract he signed. He will do well in Dallas. I know nothing about this Larsen kid. I am more interested in what MacT will do with the cap space he now has by dumping Horcoff.

What are pinworms?
Pinworms are small, white worms (Enterobius vermicularis) that infest the intestines. The worms, which look like quarter-inch-long pieces of dental floss, can be seen wiggling around the anus and in the stool.
Pinworms are most common in school-age kids, but any age child, even babies, can get them, especially if they go to daycare or have siblings who get pinworms.
It can be upsetting to discover that your child has pinworms, but keep in mind that, like lice, this common childhood malady isn't a sign of poor hygiene. The worms rarely pose a health risk, and — unlike lice — they're easily eradicated.
(Heavy infestations of pinworms can cause weight loss, and, in girls, urinary tract infections or infections in the abdomen. But infestations that serious are rare.)
How can I tell if my child has pinworms?
If your child has pinworms, he'll probably scratch and complain of itching around the anus, especially at night. If your child is a baby, he won't be able to tell you what the problem is, of course, but disturbed sleep and fussiness caused by nighttime itching are big tip-offs.
Irritated skin around the anus (and sometimes vaginal itching, in girls) can also be a clue. Pinworms occasionally cause nausea and vomiting, too.
You can confirm your suspicions by using a flashlight to check for worms on your child's bottom (and in his diaper if he's still in diapers) at night or first thing in the morning. Since worms appear and deposit eggs on the skin mostly at night, these are the best times to check.
You can also check for the presence of worms by gently pressing a piece of transparent tape to your child's anus. Eggs will stick to the tape, and you can talk to your child's doctor about having it tested.
You can often find the eggs even if you can't see the actual worms. Your doctor may have a special kit designed to collect pinworm eggs.
If you don't find pinworms or eggs, anal itching could be a sign of another problem, such as dryness from cleaning the area too vigorously with soap. Red, tender skin around your child's anus could be the result of irritation from diaper rash, diarrhea, or a bacterial infection.
The skin may be infected if it looks very red and swollen and is warm or tender to the touch. Pus or other discharge and a bad odor are also signs of infection. If you suspect an infection, call your child's doctor.
How do children get pinworms?
Pinworm eggs can survive for up to two weeks on some surfaces. So a child can pick up pinworms by touching an object – such as a toy or a towel – handled by someone else with pinworms and then putting his fingers in his mouth. Or he can pick them up by eating food contaminated by someone with pinworms.
The eggs then travel to his large intestine, where they hatch. From there, female pinworms migrate out of the child's intestines to lay their eggs on his anus. As the worms move, they cause intense itching that can disrupt sleep.
When the child scratches his itchy bottom, the eggs get under his fingernails, and another cycle begins when he puts his hands in his mouth.
