Members unfamiliar with the structure of the forums here should review the terms of service and special guidelines for individual fora. Discussions that are acceptable in one forum, maybe completely offtopic in another. The Classical and Abhidhamma sub-fora are for those members who wish to develop a greater understanding of the Abhidhamma and the Tipitaka and the ancient commentaries. In those fora, those sources are considered authoritative for the purposes of discussion. In those fora, personal opinions, personal interpretations based on study or one's faith in the supreme wisdom of a teacher, insights gained from one's own meditative experiences, revelations from contact with devas, are all off-topic. Posts that argue that critique or question the tipitaka, early commentaries and later scholars faithful to the 'classical' point of view are off-topic. I ask that all members respect the boundaries of discussion that is permitted in each fora.
genkaku wrote:Dear Peter -- I agree with you ... and that is not an ad hominem attack.
"Ad hominem" means "to the man" and refers to comments about hairdos, clothing, and other personal adornments. But the term can be conveniently extended by those who feel under attack to include biases, religions, philosophies and the like. Thus, someone may say something idiotic or questionable about Buddhism and a respondent may question the foundation of the argument without being accused of attacking the (wo)man making that argument.
Of course some people are so attached to their philosophies (some Fundamentalist Christians come to mind, but they are not alone) that they interpret any questioning or counter-argument as a personal, slanderous assault on ... dum-da-dum-dum! ... The Truth. This is as unfortunate as it is common: How can you claim to like me if you don't like what I like?
As suggested above, I think it behooves all of us to think twice about what we may say. But equally, I think it behooves all of us to think twice about what we may hear.
Ad hominem argument is most commonly used to refer specifically to the ad hominem as abusive, sexist, racist, or argumentum ad personam, which consists of criticizing or attacking the person who proposed the argument (personal attack) in an attempt to discredit the argument.
It is also used when an opponent is unable to find fault with an argument, yet for various reasons, the opponent disagrees with it.
Other common subtypes of the ad hominem include the ad hominem circumstantial, or ad hominem circumstantiae, an attack which is directed at the circumstances or situation of the arguer; and the ad hominem tu quoque, which objects to an argument by characterizing the arguer as acting or arguing in accordance with the view that he is arguing against.
Description of Ad Hominem
Translated from Latin to English, "Ad Hominem" means "against the man" or "against the person."
An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). This type of "argument" has the following form:
Person A makes claim X.
Person B makes an attack on person A.
Therefore A's claim is false.
The reason why an Ad Hominem (of any kind) is a fallacy is that the character, circumstances, or actions of a person do not (in most cases) have a bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim being made (or the quality of the argument being made).
Example of Ad Hominem
Bill: "I believe that abortion is morally wrong."
Dave: "Of course you would say that, you're a priest."
Bill: "What about the arguments I gave to support my position?"
Dave: "Those don't count. Like I said, you're a priest, so you have to say that abortion is wrong. Further, you are just a lackey to the Pope, so I can't believe what you say."

AL West's new look could benefit Trumbo
SEATTLE -- Being somebody of Mark Trumbo's ilk, a right-handed power hitter situated in the American League West, may be a little bit easier in 2013, with the rebuilding Astros now in the division and the Mariners' home ballpark, Safeco Field, sporting shorter fences this season.
Trumbo's power numbers in his first two full seasons in the big leagues -- 61 homers, .484 slugging percentage -- are even more impressive when you consider that his home ballpark, Angel Stadium, plays big at night and that two of his divisional opponents, the A's and Mariners, sport pitcher-friendly venues.
But this year, Trumbo will get nine games at Minute Maid Park, which plays relatively fair, and 10 at a renovated Safeco Field, where the left-center-field power alley has gone from 390 feet to 376.
"Any little bit can help," Trumbo said. "You never know when you might need it."
Trumbo, who hit his third homer on Friday and has hits in 19 of the Angels' 21 games this season, said he never really challenged the deepest parts of the old Safeco Field, and he isn't quite sure what kind of impact more favorable ballparks can have on his production. The more-spacious Safeco Field ranked 29th last year in home runs (0.583 per game). Oakland Coliseum, with its expansive foul territory, ranked 23rd (0.859). And marine layer-riddled Angel Stadium was 25th (0.759).
"I know I've lost some at home and Oakland in particular that I thought I really hit pretty good and they were outs," Trumbo said. "That's disappointing because you do everything right and you get a little momentary feeling of, 'Ah, there you go.' Then the guy catches it and you're like, 'Couldn't have done much better.' You understand that coming in, and one thing you try not to do is get into any kind of habits."
The frustrations of hitting a ball flush and not seeing it go out at the big ballparks, Trumbo said, are "only natural."
"But you have to understand that it's not productive," he added. "There's also going to be times where you get some that you wouldn't have thought were home runs."

Channel Moderator's Note:
Hi Thendral fans,
It has been a stormy week for me managing to reply all the Pms I received from this section. I understood that my word " groupism" in my previous message in the following thread was totally misinterpreted by many of you.
As I replied to many of you...it was just a general statement and not to point fingers at anyone at all...The same problem we faced once in Thirumathi Selvam Forum which was the hottest section at the beginning...and there we had to face the same kind of enthusiasm and misunderstanding and arguments and what not...and we did post somewhat the same kind of message there too...!!
One more thing I want to make it clear here is...when I posted that message I was not receiving Pms like now...!!! So no one can go around tell others that my message was referring to A,B or so
So please do not get hurt and whoever sending Pms to many thendral fans that my words are pointing at you...please do not believe that....I and my entire team members are here to make this forum a happy place...As you all aware Sri and Srima are working so hard to bring all of you together...under one roof...and definitely we do not want the members having hurt feelings for something I/we did not mean at all... I can cross my heart and shout this anywhere you want...!!
I humbly request all of you to put back whatever misunderstanding so far caused by whoever it is...behind and move forward as before...so that we DT members also will be more than happy to serve you...Please remember we are also human beings who work here without expecting anything but a tap on our shoulders...Once again...I am pleading all of the thendral forum viewers to come together like a happy family...
One more thing...I may be a Channel Moderator but I do not have any rights to scream at any one...pointing my fingers...at others...that is not my character...too...!!

Moderator's Note:Of late, we see a lot of bashing in this section. In the open forum and
by private messages. Time and again we have said that this is FICTION -
in all caps. Nothing , I repeat NOTHING is worth bashing a fellow IF
ian. A fellow Forum member EXISTS - for real . They are not fictional
characters. The least one can do to a fellow human being is to be civil
to them. No one forces anybody to post birth day wishes. It is
absolutely fine if one does not want to wish. But that freedom does not
give them the right to curse or bash. This note can be treated as a
severe warning. If such heinous acts continue, the member runs the risk
of getting banned.

Soriano obtains visa, will report this weekend
VIERA, Fla. -- Nationals closer Rafael Soriano will not be absent for long. He was able to obtain his visa in the Dominican Republic on Friday morning and will likely report to Nats camp on Saturday, according to manager Davey Johnson. Pitchers and catchers were scheduled to report this past Wednesday.
"The word I got was that they stamped his visa this morning. I don't know what the travel plans are, but I imagine that he will be here sometime tomorrow," Johnson said.
"I'm not really worried about him, because he's a veteran pitcher. He knows what he needs to do to get ready. I've been used to dealing with that kinda stuff -- visa problems. They've got good weather down there, I'm sure he's not just sitting around watching TV. I'm sure he'll come to camp in good shape. That's the least of my worries."
Soriano had one of his best seasons in 2012, posting a 2.26 ERA with 42 saves for the Yankees, taking over closer duties after Mariano Rivera tore his right anterior cruciate ligament in early May. Soriano opted out of his contract with New York after he learned that Rivera was going to come back for the 2013 season. Soriano did not want to be a setup man.
Soriano, who joins a bullpen that already includes Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard, has a 2.78 career ERA in 11 seasons spent with the Mariners, Braves, Rays and Yankees. The Nats signed Soriano after their bullpen struggled during last year's National League Division Series against the Cardinals, allowing 16 earned runs in five games.
Storen, who finished the season as the closer, allowed four runs in the ninth inning of a 9-7 loss in the decisive Game 5.

El Paso County attorney Jo Anne Bernal's office sent Dallas Voice a copy of a letter from Attorney General Greg Abbott. His office has formally declined to issue a legal opinion regarding the granting of marriage licenses to individuals who have undergone sex change operations.
She wrote, "On April 19, 2010 El Paso County Attorney's Office requested a legal opinion as to whether the County Clerk could legally issue a marriage license under a new Texas law when one of the parties is a female and the other was born a man but subsequently underwent sexual reassignment surgery and is now living as a woman."
Her office asked the attorney general for guidance after two women requested a marriage license earlier this year in El Paso. One of the applicants presented a birth certificate identifying her as a male, a court order approving his name change from a male to female, and an Arizona driver's license with her new identity as a female.
El Paso denied the application for the marriage license because of the conflicting documents.
Abbot wrote, "It is the policy of this office to refrain from issuing an attorney general opinion on a question that we know to be the subject of pending litigation. … This policy, which has been in effect for more than sixty years, is based on the fact that attorney general opinions, unlike those issued by courts of law, are advisory in nature. By contrast, court decisions are binding …"
Funny, although courts ruled in same-sex divorce cases, Abbott intervened to stop those despite the "binding" decisions of the courts. In this case, however, the marriage license was already denied, giving him the victory he wanted without intervening.

The Roaring Fork Valley controversy over school resource officers doubling as immigration police will get a statewide airing this spring or early summer.
State Rep. Roger Wilson, D-Glenwood Springs, said he is inviting students, parents, school officials and law enforcement to the capitol to talk about their experiences and viewpoints on the issue of whether school resource officers also helping to enforce immigration laws crosses ethical line or violates constitutional rights.
"I want to see if there are solutions and if legislation is appropriate or not," Wilson said Wednesday. "It is definitely time to talk about it more."
Wilson hopes to hold the meeting in May, before the state legislature adjourns. However, it may be held in June, he said.
The issue was first raised last year when a local student advocacy group, the Asociacion de Jovenes Unidos en Accion, expressed concerns about a school resource officer also carrying out immigration duties as a Carbondale Police Department liaison with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That officer, Alvaro Agon, reportedly took part in at least one raid involving a student's parents.
The American Civil Liberties Union entered the fray in October by sending a letter to the Roaring Fork School Board asking the board to adopt a policy prohibiting school resource officers from collaborating with ICE or carrying out other immigration-related duties.
The school board instead issued a memorandum of understanding that urges the Glenwood Springs, Carbondale and Basalt police departments to use "extraordinary discretion" when school resource officers are assigned to other duties "where a student's family immigration status may come into question as these assignments may diminish the necessary trust the SROs have worked so long to build with the student and the family."
ACLU attorney Rebecca Wallace has said that this issue has national implications. She said the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Office of Civil Liberties has agreed to open an investigation into the matter.
ICE spokesman Carl Rusnok said he views the issue as more of a local one that doesn't involve his agency.
"This issue exclusively belongs to individual school districts," Rusnok said. "These (school resource officers) are not ICE employees."
Wilson said he views the underlying issue as one of trust and he thinks there needs to be "a firewall" between immigration enforcement and school resource officers.
"There is a general principle here and it has to do with the trust of school resource officers...They need to be trusted," Wilson said.
Wilson said the earliest he might propose any legislation would be next year. He has not yet set a date for Roaring Fork representatives to come to Denver to lay out their problems before legislators.

Under The Knife
No Two Injuries are Alike
Rehabbing an elbow is always a difficult balance, but in most situations, doctors will tell you that it's always better to try and rehab through something before having the surgery. A surgery, even something predictable like Tommy John, has a defined period of loss, currently between 10 and 12 months. Using the example of Twins reliever Pat Neshek, the lost time in rehab might look like a loss—Neshek even told BP's Dan Wade that it "was the worst thing I could do" because of perception and the machismo of the locker room—but if Neshek had been able to come back inside the 2008 or 2009 seasons, it would have been a big gain. You can use the same equation I gave you in regards to why the Mets didn't put Jose Reyes on the DL, though the numbers get a lot bigger and the risks are hardly as well known. For situations like Neshek's and the hundreds of others—no, that's not an exaggeration—that face elbow surgery at all levels each year, the "right decision" is a moving target. Is it just to get the player back in the quickest amount of time? That does play into it, but does that mean "rehab might get him back in three months or might extend him out if surgery is needed"?
Every decision is a gamble. Looking at data and trying to extrapolate any sort of one-size-fits-all decision process is going to create issues. If you walked into your doctor's office and he'd been replaced by a robot with a series of protocols, it might work for you, but I bet you'd be worried. No patient or doctor in baseball is a robot and with every situation, while they might have the same diagnosis or even the same surgery, there are far, far too many variables. Any question about what the medical staff, player, or agent might or might not have done simply can't be seen in the injury data, which is one reason I've been reluctant to publish that data in the past. What we see from the outside and can quantify in some way is only a very, very small part of what is often the biggest decision a player will ever be involved in. Let's get on to the injuries:
Ryan Howard (sprained ankle, ERD 8/6)
Ian Kinsler (strained groin, ERD 8/20)
Is there a way to reconcile everything? A talk with an MLB surgeon who has not treated Kinsler suggested that one possibility was a strain at or near the insertion, which might involve a possible reaction at the bone. An avulsion is when a tendon pulls a piece of the bone away, another possibility, though that would be more devastating in a case like this. Treating the injury as if it's a severe groin strain isn't going to change things for Kinsler—it's rest, control of any pain and inflammation, and strengthening the surrounding structure that's going to be his near future no matter what the actual diagnosis might be. There's also an issue of the pattern of injuries that Kinsler has had. August seems to be a real danger zone for him, which in most athletes would lead to conditioning questions, ones you really can't ask of a high-rev guy like Kinsler.
The Rangers are also watching Hamilton closely. As he chases the Triple Crown and MVP, Hamilton is very sore with a case of patellar tendonitis. He avoided an anti-inflammatory shot as long as he could, playing through it as long as he could using rest and treatment to get him through. He relented and had the shot yesterday, so he's likely out through midweek. This type of tendonitis is chronic and isn't going to go away without significant rest or even surgery, such as what Ryan Sweeney is having done. Hamilton is sui generis when it comes to a lot of things, so injury management is the same. Watch to see how Jamie Reed and Ron Washington work to walk a tightrope between productive and healthy. They'll look to buy him rest where they can and perhaps DH him a bit more. A big lead in the AL West is going to help with both these situations.
Randy Wolf (bruised forearm, ERD TBD)
Justin Morneau (concussion, ERD 8/10)
Jason Bay (concussion, ERD 8/10)
Grant Balfour (strained intracostal, ERD 9/5)
Martin Prado (fractured finger, ERD 8/13)
(Not So) Quick Cuts: Jimmy Rollins came back Friday, but finally looked himself again Sunday. He had a steal that looked like Classic Rollins. I'm convinced he's going to be a massive steal in next year's fantasy drafts when people look at the raw numbers. ... Jacoby Ellsbury showed no problems in Triple-A and no signs of pain. There's some worry that even if there is, he'll cover to help get him back and back on the good side of his teammates. He's expected back later this week. ... In non-shocking news, Dustin Pedroia told the media he wouldn't be ready for the Yankees series later this week. I'm still sold on a 8/15 ERD for him. ... Matthew Leach of MLB.com tweeted that David Freese was doing some very aggressive running drills yesterday. He's getting very close to a rehab assignment. ... Wall 1, Dexter Fowler 0. Fowler has bruised ribs and a bruised hip after a collision with a wall on a fly ball. He'll be watched with an even chance he ends up on the DL. ... Andrew Bailey won't miss much time with his intracostal strain. He's expected back at the minimum, which would be Thursday. ... Carlos Pena's sore foot was said to be no big deal on Saturday, but there were some whispers in the clubhouse Sunday. This will take some watching. ... Armando Galarraga and Kris Medlen are both questionable for their next starts after getting hit by comebackers. Nah, we don't need any sort of protection for pitchers' arms or legs. ... Another concussion? Am I writing about MLB or the NFL? Ryan Doumit started his rehab assignment, but the Pirates will go slow with him after acquiring his replacement, Chris Snyder. Look for Doumit to play on the corners as well as catch, though the Indy Indians have been playing nearly two weeks with only one catcher. ... Scott Kazmir will begin a two-start rehab assignment early this week. The Angels will find a spot for him in the rotation when he returns, but a team source said, "He's bad enough to cut if nothing changes by Orlando." ... Geoff Blum is close to a return after surgery to remove bone chips from his elbow. ... I think the Buck Showalter move is the right one for the O's, but I'm more curious about what he'll do with the pitching coach job. Rick Kranitz is well thought of, but Showalter is used to having his own guys—usually Billy Connors. ... Homer Bailey had a solid outing in Triple-A, but he'll likely use the full 30-day rehab allotment before the Reds are forced to make a decision on him. Right now, they could end up in a modified six-man rotation. I'd rather see Bailey and Mike Leake in a tandem, but I don't expect that would pass muster under Dusty Baker. ... Jesus Flores had another setback with his shoulder, a major reason the Nationals were willing to trade Matt Capps to get Wilson Ramos. (Yes, prospect mavens, I know that sentence sounds odd to you.) Aside from that, there really wasn't much of an injury component to the trade deadline. You could argue that Capps was an answer to Joe Nathan, but half a season would argue against you. ... Football season is starting up, so for those of you that follow the NFL, I'll be starting up the Carroll Injury Report over at SI.com/fantasy this week. I hope you'll join me. Also, Football Outsiders Almanac 2010 is available. I contributed an essay on PEDs to this year's must-have NFL guide.

Actually, Bay's head never hit the fence. It was a whiplash effect that SNY said caused the concussion.
Aug 02, 2010 05:21 AM
I disagree, looking at the video.
Aug 02, 2010 10:56 AM
I watch all the games on SNY. The announcers said that Bay said his face didn't hit anything. Now maybe Bay was stretching the truth, but that's what he reported.
Aug 02, 2010 11:26 AM
I'm not saying they didnt say that, but the video makes it look as if his head hit.
Aug 02, 2010 11:48 AM
When Bay comes back I think he should wear one of those batting helmets like David Wright wore last year. What do you think?
Aug 02, 2010 16:36 PM
The stupidity of machismo seems to be a running theme today.

Chipper's #6 comp on Baseball-Reference is Jim Rice. I guess that's a valid observation, Will. 5 of his top 10 comps are hall of famers, with 2 of them, Bagwell and Vlad, likely in(?) so I think Chipper will get in.
Aug 02, 2010 09:28 AM
Doesn't this basically mean that they have similar counting stats, AVG, and SLG? This ignores Jones' 53 point advantage in OBP and his 86 point advantage in OPS. This is before you adjust for park or position.
Aug 02, 2010 09:59 AM
Will, a little clarification on the Chipper/Rice comment. Do you mean you feel Chipper falls short on qualification but get in anyway? Or do you mean a voting pattern similarity where he starts low, and gradually builds his total late in his 15 year eligibility window?
Aug 02, 2010 09:40 AM
Curious about the Chipper/Rice comparision as well. Isn't Chipper much more highly regarded by both the writers and statheads alike? And with good reason given he was easily, very easily, the more valuable player.
Aug 02, 2010 10:11 AM
Will, I don't know if you covered this already, but I haven't seen it, so I thought I'd ask. Any thoughts on Don Cooper's statement that Strasburg's 'inverted W' pitching motion was a red flag that reminded him of Mark Prior?
Aug 02, 2010 10:36 AM
hey Will,
Will, three comments from a Braves geek:

Sports hernia: is this a euphemism for an inguinal hernia or is it something different?

In this Stage 1 therapy development project, we plan to develop, formalize, and derive effect size estimates of a contingency management (CM) therapy that focuses on improving health, especially as related to increasing low intensity physical activities, such as walking, resistance training, and stretching. The Healthy Activities for Prize Incentives (HAPI) intervention will be targeted toward and tested within HIV-positive substance abusers who attend HIV drop-in centers. After initial therapy development in a Stage 1a pilot project with 9 patients, the therapy manuals and materials will be adapted and refined. In a Stage 1b controlled trial, we will recruit and randomize 70 substance abusing HIV-positive patients to (a) HAPI plus 12-step facilitation therapy or (b) contingency management for abstinence plus 12-step facilitation therapy. Each intervention will consist of one weekly individual therapy session for 16 weeks. All participants will provide urine and breath specimens twice weekly that will be tested for opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana and alcohol. Patients in both conditions will earn the chance to win prizes for submitting drug-negative specimens, and those randomized to the HAPI condition will also earn the chance to win prizes for engaging in healthy activities. Physical activity levels, drug use, psychological symptoms, and subjective and objective indicators of health (body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, viral load) will be measured pre-treatment and at months 2 and 4 (post-treatment), as well as at a 7-month (3 months after treatment) follow-up evaluation. Compared to those receiving 12-step facilitation with contingency management for abstinence, we expect that those in the HAPI condition will participate in more physical activities, decrease drug use to a greater extent, evidence reduced depression, and show trends toward improvements in health indices. If effect sizes in at least the small to medium range are noted across all domains, we will consider the therapy appropriate for further evaluation in a Stage 2 therapy development study.

FREMONT –Two power outages in Fremont affected some signal controlled intersections in the city Saturday, police said.
Two power outages took place just before 9 a.m. affecting 4,052 customers, according to PG&E.
As of 3:02 p.m. power had been restored to all but one customer, according to the utility.
The outages appeared to be caused by equipment failure on an overhead line, said spokesman J.D. Guidi.

Although we are not technically in a bear market, the action today was a good illustration of what one looks like. The market opened poorly and managed to bounce but the strength was used as an opportunity to sell and the close was very weak. Breadth was very ugly, with 3,600 decliners to 1,800 advancers, and if you were looking for some pockets of leadership or momentum, you would have a very hard time. Even the mighty Apple (AAPL), which has been under relentless pressure, couldn't hold a bounce again.
The folks trying to predict a market turn were again proven wrong and have more losses to show for their efforts. Their arguments may sound convincing, but until the market starts to care, it doesn't much matter how brilliant the bullish arguments are stated.
I am going to continue to repeat what I've been saying lately: We should simply stand aside and wait for the market action to improve before we put our money at risk. The goal isn't to call the low but to buy when you have the best chance of catching some momentum and making some money.
I don't have much patience with those market pundits who keep trying to convince us that this dog of a market deserves our hard-earned cash. When the market shows some signs of rewarding us for risking our capital then we can allocate some cash. But it is just downright foolish to keep fighting the trend -- especially when we get closes like we have seen lately.
There isn't much to do right now other than hold high levels of cash and stay patient. If you've been doing that, it will pay off very nicely down the road.
Have a good evening. I'll see you tomorrow.

Butler has been my team since I was a little kid. I just don't think Brad
stevens will leave for anyone at this time. We lose Matt howard but we still got the rest of our team, better recruits, and an improving Chrishawn Hopkins and khyle Marshall who many on the butler staff say he will be better than Hayward was for the dawgs.
They are going to be stacked for years to come. I wish cody zeller would have gone to butler. They were 2nd on his list to IU.

Recent graduates of Mountain View, St. Francis and Homestead highs have committed to play in the 39th annual Charlie Wedemeyer High School All-Star Football Game, scheduled 7:30 p.m. today at San Jose City College.
Also known as the Silicon Valley Youth Classic, the contest showcases Santa Clara County's top high school players from the Class of 2013.
Local participants include defensive back Joe Flores and linebacker Chad Schaumburg of Mountain View, quarterback Mike Lauck of St. Francis and Homestead defensive back Mark Hirschbeck, a Los Altos resident.
Lauck led St. Francis to the Central Coast Section Division II championship last November and was named to the West Catholic Athletic League First Team. He has agreed to play for the University of La Verne, an NCAA Division III school in Southern California.
Flores and Schaumburg, both selected to the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League De Anza Division First Team last fall, plan to play at Foothill College. Schaumburg was voted Mountain View's Defensive Player of the Year.
Hirschbeck, chosen SCVAL De Anza Division First Team utility player and team MVP, intends to play for De Anza College.
The four locals will play on the North in a game against the South that honors the late Charlie Wedemeyer, the longtime Los Gatos football coach who suffered from ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease.
Game tickets are $15.

There are so many little gems from the 80s. If you could live a ten decades you could just about hear every underground electronic song from 1980-1989. That makes living ten decades worth it.
"Italo disco is a very broad term, encompassing much of the dance music output in Europe during the 1980s. It is one of the world's first forms of completely electronic dance music and evolved during the late 1970s and early 1980s in Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and other parts of Europe. Italo disco music has a distinct, futuristic and spacey sound, which was created using synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders." – WIkipedia

Summer Convertible Shootout: 12 Hot Drop-Tops Face Off
In the early 1990s, Ford produced the Crown Vic in Ontario, with enough Canadian and offshore content for it to qualify as an imported car. (CAFE in that era let car manufacturers split their fleets into domestic and import segments, each of which could meet separate economy standards). That Canadian influence allowed Ford to average out the thirsty V8 sedan's consumption with a fleet of tiny imported cars, instead of with other American fuel hogs.
Ever wonder why the American car companies rarely advertised their small, fuel efficient cars? Simple: They didn't make much (if any) money on them. The dealers got a few hundred dollars, but the parent company was basically giving them away. Automakers built these economy cars not for profit, then, but because the rules on the books let them average the small cars' excellent fuel economy with that of the larger, more expensive, option-laden cars in the fleet–which were far more profitable for both car company and car dealer.
The same thing goes for small, fuel-efficient pickups like the S-10 and Ranger. Car companies pushed dealers into accepting the delivery of a surfeit of 4- and 6-cylinder short-wheelbase two-wheel-drive pickups, because that kept the automakers' fleet economy high enough to let them sell a boatload of high-profit full-sized pickups to customers who didn't care about mileage and needed big, powerful V8s.

"We are a family on a journey to a place called wonderful" is the motto of Deza Malone's family. Deza is the smartest girl in her class in Gary, Indiana, singled out by teachers for a special path in life. But the Great Depression hit Gary hard, and there are no jobs for black men.

"Loved the reader and the story"
I really loved the character of Peg, the mother and the main character, Desa Malone. They were very happy and positive people despite what was happening to them. What I really loved about this story is that it's about a time in history that is not often studied now and has so many relationships to what is happening in today's society.
I also listened to bud not buddy and loved that - Christopher Curtis is a great storyteller. I'm in my 40s and found this a wonderful listen when I was cooking, running, or just in the car.
"Christopher Paul Curtis has done it again"
This was a very moving piece of historical fiction, set in the time of the Great Depression. It focuses on a bright young woman entering her teens, and the struggle of her loving family to hold itself together, despite poverty, racism, and health problems they could not afford to address.
I'd recommend it for both young and old audiences.
great story ! gives a historical account from the perspective of a little girl during the great depression. a must read!
This was an exceptional story! My daughter and I listened together and couldn't wait to hear what happened chapter after chapter. The narrator was awesome as well.
"Broke my heart"
Christopher Paul Curtis is truly an American writer of times gone by. He knows the art of writing and how to portray the feelings of the characters he writes about.
Although this is a fictional story, some of the events and doings of the people during this time period are true.
As I read the heartaches of the characters, my heart broke for them and all they went through.
This is a book that I would definitely listen to again.
"Christopher Paul Curtis is Awesome"
If you like historical fiction you might like other titles by Christopher Paul Curtis such as: Bud Not Buddy, Elijah of Buxton, or The Watson's Go To Birmingham.
Deza lives with her parents and her older brother, Jimmie, in Gary, Indiana. It is 1936, and even though her parents are both hardworking people, the Depression has taken its toll on their family. Her father lost his job a while back and even though he is always looking for work there is just nothing to be found.
Deza makes her family proud because she is the gets the highest marks in her class and does her best to keep her brother in line as well; this is how she earns her nickname, "the Mighty Miss Malone." It is a good thing she is mighty, because their family is put through the wringer; it seems like whatever can go wrong does go wrong, and the question is can Deza tough enough to help her family make through the terrible trials of the Depression?
"What a great read!!"
Breathtaking educational and funny. Reading about the Malones sense of family, love and pride in a time we're all odds were against most black families to survive. I love the quote kisses kisses kisses make you stronger.
"Loved it, Highly Recommend It!"
When Ms Turpin narrates a book, you will never be dissapointed. She probably used 15 different voices to read this book (maybe more) and each voice was unique. what a talent. I try to steer away from books with cursing and this one had zero curse words in it. Absolutely loved story, performance characters.
"Bahni Turpin's narration is amazing."
This story was told excellently by Bahni Turpin. Great voices for different characters. Intonation that helped Express the feelingsin the book. I really enjoyed listening to it while also reflecting on the social situations in our country then and now. Fantastic book Mr. Curtis!
"Fantastic characters"
A Powerful story of trials, despair and brief moments of happiness. Going to purchase the hardback for my 12 year old daughter. Narrator kept me all the way attached.

Aaron and DeeDee – Humane Society Pets of the Week!
My cat stands at the bathroom door while I'm showering. As soon as I'm done and the door is opened, he MUST get into the shower to lick up any "fresh" water. It doesn't matter that he was given fresh water one hour prior, if I don't open up that shower door he will stand in the bathroom and make noises loud enough to wake the dead. We know he likes this and accommodate him, just like we've come to discover he prefers ice cubes in his water. We accommodate that, too. Some pets don't have a person that knows their likes and dislikes, and that's where you come in.
The Humane Society shelters pets, gets them the care they need, gives them the love they're craving, and does their best to place them in permanent homes. Whether you're looking for a lazy dog who prefers a quiet walk to play, or a cat who chases toys, chances are the Humane Society will have your perfect match.
May I present our pets of the week. If you'd like to see them in person or get more information on these pets or any other pets that the Humane Society has, check them out online here or call 940-855-4941. They're located at 4360 Old Iowa Park Road in Wichita Falls.

Today: Tesla's sharp downturn flips to a gain for a day as CEO Elon Musk defends company amid a federal investigation into Model S fires. Also: Apple (AAPL)-Samsung trial draws to a close, solar companies decline.
The Lead: Tesla faces federal investigation, CEO promises success
A tough period in the rapid rise of Tesla Motors (TSLA) seemed to hit its nadir Tuesday, as a federal agency announced an investigation into recent fires involving the first electric car the Palo Alto company fully designed and manufactured, but Tesla's declining stock turned around as CEO Elon Musk exuded confidence amid the maelstrom.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced Tuesday that it would investigate Tesla's Model S after a trio of heavily publicized fires involving the vehicles. After a car in Washington state caught fire after driving over debris in the road last month, a similar incident occurred in Tennessee; another fire caught on tape happened in Mexico, where a Tesla owner drove through a wall and ended up ramming a tree before the car went up in flames.
The NHTSA is most concerned with any possible Model S vulnerability to fires as a result of objects hitting the underside of the car, stating in a report that the investigation's purpose is "to examine the potential risks associated with undercarriage strikes."
Musk, who is known for vociferously defending his company against any and all negative accusations, took to the company's blog to do so again early Tuesday morning, offering a forceful screed titled "The Mission of Tesla."
Musk characterized the media coverage of the fires as unfair, pointing out that fires involving gasoline-powered cars have caused more than 400 deaths and roughly 1,200 injuries in the past year, but the three noninjury fires in Tesla automobiles received far more attention than all of those combined.
"Reading the headlines, it is therefore easy to assume that the Tesla Model S and perhaps electric cars in general have a greater propensity to catch fire than gasoline cars when nothing could be further from the truth," Musk wrote, later adding, "the Model S is safer in an accident than any other vehicle without exception."
Musk went on to say that Tesla had taken three steps to ensure confidence in its automobiles, including requesting the NHTSA investigation, though a spokesman for the agency said he was unaware of such a request. Tesla also issued a software update to its cars that will keep the underside of the car farther away from the road on the highway and amended their warranty policy to provide coverage for any fire, including blazes caused by driver error.
Recent negative headlines about Tesla, which also include an industrial accident at its Fremont manufacturing facility, have reversed a spectacular Wall Street rise spurred by the company's first profits and ability to quickly ramp up production on the Model S as demand has exploded. Shares fell 37.5 percent from its an intraday high of $194.50 reached Sept. 30 to Monday's four-month-low closing price of $121.58, but rebounded slightly Tuesday to close with a 3.7 percent gain to $126.09.
Investors may have been comforted by the reasoning of Deutsche Bank analyst Dan Galves, who wrote Tuesday that "the location of the incidents outside California supports our view that these are rare occurrences and the timing was coincidental."
Tesla's home state has been the most popular for Tesla sales so far, taking more than 10 percent of the luxury car market and especially finding fans in the most affluent areas of Silicon Valley.
"If this was going to be a common issue, you would expect to have seen one in California, where the vast majority of Model S miles-driven have occurred to date," Galves wrote.
SV150 market report: Indexes decline, Apple-Samsung case to jury
Wall Street indexes declined slightly Tuesday, failing to reach the milestone numbers the Dow Jones and Standard & Poor's 500 briefly crested Monday. Silicon Valley stocks also suffered a small decline as solar stocks suffered a massive decline, social stocks gained and Apple shares moved slightly higher as a jury received its case against Samsung.
Apple gained 0.2 percent to $519.47 as the two sides in the landmark patent battle between Apple and Samsung rested their case with closing arguments, which Samsung said included racist imagery on the part of Apple. The jury is tasked with deciding how much Samsung must pay Apple for infringing on certain patents, on top of about $600 million that was retained when Judge Lucy Koh changed an original verdict of more than $1 billion.
Other Silicon Valley stocks gaining Tuesday included Broadcom, which led the SV150 with an 8.5 percent gain to $8.78 after announcing earnings that beat Wall Street's expectations. Social-networking stocks enjoyed a bountiful day as well, with Facebook rising 1.2 percent to $46.36, Zynga gaining 3.9 percent to $3.99, and Twitter adding 1.5 percent to $41.75 to bounce back from Monday's weakness; LinkedIn was the outlier, with a 0.3 percent decrease to $221.38. Intel (INTC) gained 0.4 percent to $24.70 ahead of its analyst day Thursday, and eBay (EBAY) gained 0.1 percent to $52.12 after PayPal struck a deal to handle payments for car-sharing company Uber.
Silicon Valley's solar companies suffered Tuesday, as Chinese solar companies showed they may be rebounding from weakness that had boosted their American counterparts and increased prices for solar panels. SunPower (SPWRA) fell 6.6 percent to $30.69 and SolarCity declined 8 percent to $46.72 after Trina Solar became the third Chinese solar company to report a profitable quarter after a backlash against the firms following their overproduction of cheap solar panels, which caused a glut of the material nationwide.
Altera was also hammered by investors on Tuesday, as its analysts day did not result in many positive notes; the San Jose semiconductor company fell 4.3 percent to $31.06. Salesforce declined 5 percent to $52.74 as CEO Marc Benioff gave the keynote address at its Dreamforce conference in San Francisco, as analysts disagreed on the strength of the company's earnings report. Pandora fell 3.3 percent to $28.74 despite coming out ahead in Piper Jaffray's initial gauge of Twitter reaction comparing it to Apple's iTunes Radio.
Up: Zynga, Tesla, Twitter, Facebook, Gilead, Cisco (CSCO), Intel, Workday, Apple, VMware, eBay
Down: SolarCity, SunPower, Salesforce, Electronic Arts (ERTS), Pandora, Yelp, Nvidia, Adobe (ADBE), AMD, Netflix (NFLX), SanDisk, Yahoo (YHOO), Juniper, Google (GOOG), Oracle
The SV150 index of Silicon Valley's largest tech companies: Down 3.98, or 0.28 percent, to 1,396.2
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index: Down 17.52, or 0.44 percent, to 3,931.55
The blue chip Dow Jones industrial average: Down 8.99, or 0.06 percent, to 15,967.03
And the widely watched Standard & Poor's 500 index: Down 3.66, or 0.2 percent, to 1,787.87

Say Goodbye to the Office Cubicle
Walls Come Down as Many Companies Switch to Layouts Designed to Foster Collaboration
The same folks who brought you the bland office cubicle are turning a profit these days by trying to kill it off.
As the nation's economy recovers, office-furniture makers, who were hit hard by the recession, are racking up sales by persuading companies that newer office layouts can encourage collaboration and, in some cases, shrink their space requirements and costs.

Muskingum College grants master's degrees at graduate commencement exercises,
with address by Karen Vanderhoof-Forschner
Muskingum College granted master of arts in education and master of arts in teaching degrees at its graduate commencement exercises, held May 8 in Brown Chapel on the campus. The commencement address was delivered by 1974 Muskingum College alumna Karen Vanderhoof-Froschner, co-founder and chair of the Lyme Disease Foundation.
Muskingum College President Anne C. Steele congratulated the assembled graduates and said, "You have made a commitment to educate yourselves so that you may educate others. Through you, lives will be forever changed."
In her address, Ms. Vanderhoof-Forschner chronicled the enormous challenges she and her family faced in their fight against Lyme Disease, and credited her Muskingum College experience with giving her the determination to face those challenges. She told the graduates, "If you make your start here at Muskingum, you can accomplish anything. The most important thing to remember is to never give up, on yourself or anyone else."
In recognition of her contributions to her profession and to society, the college bestowed upon Ms. Vanderhoof-Forschner an honorary doctor of humane letters degree. It was presented by Dr. Steele and Muskingum College alumnus and Trustee Gordon Spillman. In 1999, Mrs. Vanderhoof-Forschner received the Distinguished Service Award, Muskingum College's highest honor for alumni.
Ms. Vanderhoof-Forschner is an internationally recognized health advocate, whose efforts have educated millions of families to the dangers of Lyme disease and other tick-borne disorders.
Her public mission is rooted in personal tragedy. After being bitten by a deer tick in 1985, her son was born with, handicapped by, and died at age five from Lyme disease. She co-founded the Lyme Disease Foundation in 1988, and has since donated more than 40,000 volunteer hours to the organization, as well as serving as chair of its Board of Directors.
Under her leadership, the Lyme Disease Foundation created a high-profile public information program, cited by Time magazine as the "most successful awareness campaign" of any health organization. In just two years, Lyme disease moved from being virtually unknown to achieving 88 percent household name recognition.
Ms. Vanderhoof-Forschner's education initiatives have included authoring a book Everything You Need to Know about Lyme Disease and Other Tick-Borne Disorders, and co-producing award-winning television programs for children. She has conducted innumerable media interviews, and has testified before Congress, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health and other agencies.
With professional expertise that spans the fields of health care and insurance law, Ms. Vanderhoof-Forschner focuses her research on health-care policy and has served as a member of the board of trustees for several health and human services organizations. She has been honored by the National Institutes of Health for Outstanding Public Health Education, named a "Woman of the Year" by the Points of Light Foundation and Family Circle magazine and a "Woman of Worth" award by L'Oreal, Inc.
Ms. Vanderhoof-Forschner earned a bachelor of science in biology and psychology from Muskingum College, a master of business administration from the University of Connecticut School of Business, a juris doctor degree, cum laude, from Quinnipac University School of Law, and a master of laws degree in insurance law from the University of Connecticut School of Law.
She is married to Thomas E. Forschner, a 1972 Muskingum College alumnus and co-founder and executive director of the Lyme Disease Foundation. They are the parents of Christy and James (deceased), and reside in Tolland, Connecticut.
Candidates for their master's degrees were presented by Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Paul Reichardt. The degrees were conferred by President Steele, Dean of Graduate and Continuing Studies Dr. Ruthann Fagan and Professor of Education and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs for Teacher Education Dr. Linda Morrow.
Dr. Steele also recognized Dr. Morrow for her selection as "Professor of the Year" for the state of Ohio by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). To read more about Dr. Morrow, click here.
Faculty marshals were Professor of Religion Rick Nutt and Professor of Education Dr. Steve Kokovich. The graduate marshals were Elizabeth L. Gifford and Marianne M. Huey.

Hurdle impressed with Martin's throwing ability
PITTSBURGH -- As Spring Training was winding down, with everybody just waiting to leave Florida, Clint Hurdle finally saw what he had been waiting for: Russell Martin take his arm out of its holster.
"He made three throws the last two games of Spring Training you're not going to see anybody make any better -- anywhere, anytime, anyhow -- getting Ichiro [the Yankees' Suzuki] and a couple of other guys," Hurdle said.
As Pirates manager, Hurdle could never speak as enthusiastically about his catchers in 2012 when, certainly with the complicity of Pittsburgh pitchers, 174 of 193 runners stole successfully under their watch.
Martin, Rod Barajas' successor as the No. 1 catcher, has pride in his arm and throwing mechanics. Having missed two weeks early in Spring Training with a sore shoulder, it took him a while to regain calibers. He also is motivated by having inherited the spotlight from last season's problems.
"I keep hearing about this and that from last year. But it's a new year," Martin said. "I have confidence in my ability to get rid of the ball, and my arm strength, so hopefully the work we put into it as a pitching staff is going to make us more confident, and we won't even have a question any more."
Reining the opposition running game was a high camp priority. Hurdle is pleased with the effort put into it, and the results coming out of it.
"One of the takeaways [from Spring Training] has to be the attention to detail in this area," the manager said. "Guys have bought into it, and they now know it is a weapon that will make everybody better. I think we made good progress with it."

Peyton Manning has won his fifth Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player award in a landslide.
The Denver Broncos' record-setting quarterback, who threw for 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards in leading the Broncos to the AFC's best record, earned 49 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. New England quarterback Tom Brady got the other vote in balloting announced Saturday night.
Manning won his other MVPs with Indianapolis in 2003, '04, '08 and '09. He also was the runner-up last season to Adrian Peterson.

Larry Feldbusch is living his very personalized version of the American dream. For years he has focused on what he sees as the best this country has to offer. In addition to a 62 Corvette, the 66 pictured here, an 89, and a brand new 2000, he owns three Harley-Davidsons. Does this guy understand about American icons, or what?
He snatched up this Nassau Blue 66 in 1970, and has never let go. For the nearly 30 years hes owned her, hes traded tender loving care for the joy of driving, showing, and winning.
And win he has. This special Corvette has captured Bloomington Gold, four Top Flight Awards, and a Gold Spinnerenough to merit the Triple Crown at the Chicago Chevy/Vettefest a few years ago. No wonder this Corvette has a special place in his heart.
The Corvette sports a stock engine (327ci, 350hp), Muncie four-speed transmission, power steering, tinted glass, Goldwall tires, and an AM/FM radio. The Nassau Blue paint is complemented nicely by the impeccable Dark Blue interior.
A complete body-off restoration spiffed her up in 1988. The work was done by Marrah Auto Body in Owosso, Michigan, not far from Larry and his wife, Lindas, northern home. (They offset Michigan frigidity with a place in Palm Harbor, on Floridas west coast.) After the body-off restoration, work on the car continued for a few more years. Its first award was at an NCRS meet in the spring of 1992. She took a Top Flight there, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Larry hasnt shown the car in the past four years, but it remains a source of pride and pleasure. When we spoke to him at his Michigan home in February, he told us hes been having some serious health problems this past year. Larry, were not doctors, but we think it would do you good to get yourself, your wife, and that 66 down here to the Florida sunshine. In the meantime, were all pulling for you.

TPWD Proposes Changes to Mule Deer, Pronghorn Seasons
AUSTIN — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is considering an experimental landowner controlled harvest pronghorn buck season. Wildlife officials are also proposing an extension of mule deer season under Managed Lands Deer Permits as part of recommended changes to the 2013-14 Statewide Hunting Proclamation.
TPWD staff recommended extending mule deer season on MLDP properties through the end of January. Staff also proposed implementing an experimental pronghorn buck-only harvest under the existing season length and bag limit without permit requirements in three herd units in the Panhandle.
The potential changes are intended to increase recreational opportunity, decrease regulatory complexity where possible and provide for the sound biological management of the wildlife resources of the state.
Comments on the proposed rules may be submitted by phone or e-mail to Robert Macdonald (512) 389-4775; e-mail: email@example.com, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744. Comments may also be submitted through the department's Internet web site and at upcoming public meetings to be scheduled around the state.
