Dunn's 450th HR comes too late to help Rienzo
Hits two-run shot in ninth; righty allows five two-out runs in fourth
ANAHEIM -- Adam Dunn launched a 94-mph Ernesto Frieri fastball deep into the Angel Stadium right-field stands and in doing so, made a bit of history during the ninth inning of the White Sox 8-4 loss to the Angels on Friday.
Dunn just wished career home run No. 450 would have come earlier when the game was in doubt.
"It would have been a lot better, more meaningful," said Dunn, after becoming the 36th player in Major League history to reach this long ball plateau. "That's stuff you think about when you are done, not in an 8-2 or 8 to whatever it was ballgame."
The White Sox entered this weekend series opener sitting at one game over .500 but just 2 1/2 games back of the Tigers in the American League Central. Having this particular status on June 6 usually means nothing more than at least three months left in the season to be played.
For the injury-riddled, reshaping White Sox, who weren't expected to really contend at any point in the 2014 campaign, their fight and bounce-back ability made this standing an important accomplishment, if not necessarily predictive of the future. But to stay close in the division race or the playoff picture, the White Sox (31-31) will need better starting pitcher than what they got from Andre Rienzo (4-3).
Rienzo, who was not in the White Sox starting rotation to open the '14 campaign, was knocked around by the Angels (32-28) for seven runs on nine hits over 3 2/3 innings. This effort followed the three runs on seven hits given up over 3 1/3 innings during a loss to the Padres in his last start on May 31.
Location is essential for a pitcher such as Rienzo, who can't get away with being up in the zone. Location once again was missing for the right-hander, leaving Rienzo hoping for another chance to correct these mistakes.
"I hope there will be a next start," said Rienzo, who lasted only 76 pitches. "I need to leave the ball down, the same as my first four starts. Leave the ball down, keep it in control early. I tried it today.
"Today, I felt good. I felt I have all my stuff together, but the other team liked my stuff, too. So there's not a lot I can do. I didn't give a chance for the team to win."
The Angels scored two in the first on Kole Calhoun's leadoff homer and Josh Hamilton's double, and put the game away with five two-out runs in the fourth on six hits. C.J. Cron and Calhoun each doubled home a pair.
Those seven runs put the White Sox in a hole on most occasions, but it was doubly difficult with Jered Weaver (7-4) pitching. The White Sox scored on Alejandro De Aza's solo homer in the third and Dunn's single in the fifth, but Weaver allowed just five hits over six innings and struck out nine.
Chances existed even with the paltry final output, as the White Sox finished 2-for-12 with 12 runners left on base. As for Dunn, he knocked out two opposite-field singles to go with the monster shot in the ninth. But he struck out swinging after Jose Abreu's leadoff double in the second, with the White Sox trailing by a 2-0 margin, and then struck out looking with the bases loaded to end the third with the White Sox down by one run.
"He's one of those guys to me that I've never seen him good. It's just one of those things," said Dunn of facing Weaver. "He's not throwing hard, but he's still very, very effective and he carves me up. I'd take him on my team. I had a couple of big opportunities and just couldn't capitalize on them."
"We knew those guys have been swinging the bat well lately. Maybe I was trying to be too fine at times," said Weaver, who left after 109 pitches. "I threw too many pitches early on. I was able to make some pitches when I had to. My curveball was pretty good. I was able to locate it when I needed to throughout. Tonight, it was a good pitch against that lineup."
This loss dropped the White Sox back to the .500 mark for the 20th time this season and left them with a 2-2 record in their six-game, weeklong swing through California. Scott Carroll pitched 4 1/3 innings in relief of Rienzo, giving up Albert Pujols' 507th career home run to lead off the eighth and one other hit, while striking out three.
Carroll stood out as one of the team highlights on a night where there weren't many for the White Sox. Dunn talked after the loss about numbers being cool, but they will be cooler when Dunn's career is over and he can tell his three kids about the milestones.
Nonetheless, passing players such as Jeff Bagwell and Vladimir Guerrero, with whom Dunn entered Friday tied at 449 homers, certainly left an impression on the slugger.
"People don't realize you say the name Jeff Bagwell and Vladimir Guerrero and, not that long ago, they were really two of the best in the game," said Dunn, who got the baseball back for No. 450. "Obviously, growing up an Astros fan, Bagwell and [Craig] Biggio were the kings."

Holiday Tipping Guide for Condos and Apartments
Although some condominium buildings and apartments take up collections from residents and give guidance for tipping building staff, most do not. So the annual question of what to give the people who work in your building as a tip for the holidays has come up again. With 24 hour concierge desks, cleaning staffs and other services, it can be a challenge to come up with an amount that seems fair without breaking the bank.
There are many different approaches to tipping building staff but one guideline that I've seen used regularly and seems fair is to tip a total amount equal to one month of condo dues or 10 percent of one month's rent.
Most tipping guides have concierge staff receiving $25-$75 each, housekeeping receiving $20-$30 each and resident manager receiving $75-$150.
Do you plan to tip your building staff?

To Barricade or Not to Barricade
It looks like the barricade at 5th and Mass Ave NW has been moved allowing cars to make right turns into Massachusetts Ave off of 5th Street NW. In my view, the negatives of this barricade outweigh any positive outcomes as it leads to huge backups on Eye Street especially when impacted by the numerous other construction activities.

Nation's largest award for top teaching brings Missouri physics prof to Baylor
Every two years, Baylor's Robert Foster Cherry Award for Great Teaching brings one of the nation's best professors not already on the BU campus to Waco for a semester, allowing Baylor students to benefit from his or her excellence in the classroom. The award is our country's only national award presented by a college or university for exceptional teaching, and carries with it an exceptional monetary reward for both the professor and his/her school — evidence of Baylor's commitment to providing our students with top teachers.
This week, Baylor Provost Elizabeth Davis, BBA '84, announced that Dr. Meera Chandrasekhar, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Missouri, is the 2014 Cherry Award recipient. Chandrasekhar is expected to teach in residence at Baylor during the spring 2015 semester.
[WATCH: Chandrasekhar's Cherry Award finalist lecture, "Blind to Polarization: What Humans Cannot See"]
Winner of the 1999 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring from the National Science Foundation, Chandrasekhar has been honored by the University of Missouri with five different awards for her teaching since she joined the MU faculty in 1978. In addition to her work at the university level, Chandrasekhar has developed hands-on physics programs for students in grades 5-12 and summer institutes for K-12 teachers, activities for which she has received several more awards.
Sic 'em, Dr. Chandrasekhar!

Steven Pearl, the son of former Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl and a former Vol himself, is a surgical instruments salesman by weekday, a Knoxville sports radio show host by weekend. Little wonder, then, that he acted with such cunning and precision as he crafted a radio ad to shill for a local barbecue chain.
Pearl's father got into NCAA hot water for inviting star recruit Aaron Craft, now at Ohio State, to a barbecue at his home in 2010, and then lied about it despite photo evidence. It led to his undoing as coach.
The ad that the younger Pearl produced for Tennessee Sports Radio pokes all kinds of creative fun at a serious issue.
"If there's one thing we Pearls know, it's how to throw a barbecue," Pearl says, deadpan. Later, he mentions two rules for the perfect barbecue party, with the clincher being: "Absolutely no photography."
As we get to the Micro Machines-like disclaimer voice at the end, it says, "Offer not available to Aaron Craft."
A one-minute clip that's worth your time, and even Craft's time, unless he's watching a clip of this shot.

Manu is good but if you want to add him in then you have to take every teams' pg and sg. That doesnt make sense
There is a reason GM's value pg's twice as much as they do sg's. That is a fact not opinion. Look at the draft results.

I think no matter what happens, you'll argue that somehow point guards are more important even if you end up contradicting yourself.
By the way as an interesting side note, in the last 20 years? The best player at each individual position excluding point guard has one a title at one time. This is indisputable.
Last edited by mattie; 04-05-2011 at 10:37 PM.
Also, I need to adjust my numbers from earlier.
Actually a top 5 shooting guard has been on EVERY championship team in the last 10 years. Edit- Except the Pistons. Of course some would argue when they won? Rip was a top 5 shooting guard.
Kobe Bryant, Manu Ginobili, Dwayne Wade, and Paul Pierce.
Last edited by mattie; 04-05-2011 at 10:50 PM.
So in the 1990s you can look back at the jazz.
One of the greatest point guards of all time. Great defender, Great shooter, Great passer
One of the greatest if not the greatest power forwards of all time
I think it goes to show that a good shooting guard out weighs a good point guard.
I'm at a loss at how this "point guard = win" came about. Because we've seen a truly elite non-point guard on every Championship team except the Pistons.
We've seen plenty of championships without truly elite point guards. In fact I'd say everyone in the last 20 years hasn't had an elite point guard. The argument that Billups, Parker and Rondo are elite is made I think only to give their original argument ground to stand on.
I'm sorry. This if dumb. Paul george is potentially a super star. You don't trade him.
The mentality of this team by some people on this board is quite humorous.
Ever since he started, which is what everyone wanted, the lovefest for him has fallen and now if you want to trade Paul George, that pretty much says you have no patience.
Sorry if players can't be perfect every game. Especially a rookie.
Trading him would be one of the biggest mistakes. We may have the next Indy hero in the making.
In 49 states it's just basketball, but this is Indiana!
I don't care how wrong everyone tells me I am . Two years from now , Paul George will be a top 10 player in the NBA.
That's not fair. Or you didn't understand me.
I agree, I get tired of hearing "trade so and so" everytime there is a loss. In my dream world were I'm GM I actually wouldn't trade anyone. I would try to sign a defensive oriented PF through free agency, and I'd wait for Paul George to be great.
I love Paul George, and I'd cry if we traded him for Deron Williams. I'm not kidding.
I'm merely talking not from desire, but from the hypothetical perspective of whether or not it would be smart to trade Paul George, who has potential in spades, for a player that is good right now?
Edit- I don't blame you for getting my intent wrong though- It is to be expected as half this board jumps off the deep end the second our young .500 team actually plays like a young .500 team. (that means losing every other game)
Last edited by mattie; 04-05-2011 at 11:19 PM.
That is why I dont want to trade him unless they get an all star caliber pg in return. Nobody is trading that kind of pg for George. So its best to keep him.
There is not right or wrong answer to this thread. What it comes down to is you need damn good players to win a title. And usually you need multiple ones. Each SG brought up in this thread had a star with them, even Jordan had Pippen. Kobe had Shaq and Pau, Manu had Duncan (who was the most important piece on those teams, not Manu) and Parker, Wade had Shaq. And even though Pierce is a SF he had KG and Ray Allen.
You're exactly right. The point is you need truly great players. Not a truly great point guard. That's what I'm getting at. There has been a running theme that if we don't get a great point guard we cannot win a championship. That is completely false. That is my only argument. lol. It is a myth I'm trying to dispel.

What are you talking about? They love Rondo.
I knew what you meant how valuable his Paul George currently.
I was just stating how much Paul George is going to mean to this team no matter who we may decide to acquire around him.
Many believe Paul George is going to be a TMAC type of player and also the best player from the 2010 draft.
I'm excited and ever since we drafted him, I feel like it would be okay to trade Danny for a player we can really need.
In 49 states it's just basketball, but this is Indiana!
If the goal is to trade Paul George, at least wait until he appears untouchable and has high value. He's not there.
A great individual PG is useless, and will be just a waste of money. What you want in a PG is a PG that fits your system and team. They won't be the greatest of PGs, might even suck on other teams, but they will make your team better. This also saves you money to sign better players around them, and have a stronger team.
With the exception of Jordan there have been two common themes with championship teams:
1. Strong post play (either a dominate C or PF, or two extremely good players (see post Shaq Lakers))
2. A good, not great, PG that fit the team, and made the team better.
Honestly you could argue PGs like Rose, Paul, and Williams are closer to being like Murphy than they to being like Shaq. They put up great stats, but they rarely result in winning. In Murphy's situation it is individual games, in the PGs situation it is championships. Although it works during the regular season there is a fundamental flaw with building the team around a PG that prevents them from winning championships. Just like fast paced, up and down teams win a lot in the regular season, they do not win championships. In both cases it is sexy and flashy, which is why a lot of people (even basketball smart people) fall in love with it, but in both cases there are fundamental flaws.
players should never be untouchable. if it takes george to acquire a gordon, you do it imo. i'm also not sure george can maximize his potential with this organization and around these players. granger seems unwilling to relinquish his role and there's too many players on this team who only care about getting theirs. not much of a system in place at all with the pacers at the moment.
But it is good to someone realizing this. I hope we can past the point guard obsession. No reason the majority of the board can't realize the folly in that line of thinking.
He doesn't have high trade value. Our fans value him a lot more than the rest of the league. We'd be very lucky if he gets in the 2nd all rookie team. Let's face it, we all like Paul and his huge potential, but at the moment he's just an average rookie.
If we can get a good player that can upgrade our game (like Iggy, Smith, whoever comes to your mind) then we should do it, if not just sit and see if he turns into something special

Business retention and growth strategy differentiation in an industry with many competitors can be a real challenge. Yet, there are some basic, service-oriented strategies that clearly distinguish one firm from another. The key to creating an effective differentiation strategy is to begin by asking clients for their opinions about how they differentiate one firm from another. We decided to ask that question and learned that one of the best ways for a firm to differentiate itself is to develop a strong business understanding.
Since we believe it's always important to add the "voice of the client" to any business strategy, we asked some clients what "understand my business" means to them and how firms may better align themselves with client expectations. Here are some of their comments.
Senior IP litigation counsel of a financial services company:
"Understanding the realities of the products we sell and knowing that there is a distinction between the realities of the products we sell and the business climate and business needs that come along with the products we sell."
"With outside firms, oftentimes it's the younger lawyers who never really worked a real job—they went to school, went to law school and very few worked in industry or business—or learned how to sell, making accommodations for bigger deals and vendors. These are typically the guys who want you to fight to the death. So on one level, generally speaking, they need to be able to understand what our industry is and what our products are."
GC of a technology company:
"It means not only the specific industry, but also the needs of what I'm asking for as it relates to my specific circumstances. If I talk about this pressing issue, what do I need to have happen and why? If you don't understand our legal needs in the context of our business and our industry, you will never have as much value to me as someone who does understand."
And last, the senior litigation counsel for a global corporation:
"Our company has peculiar procedures; I want them followed and respected if not at least tolerated. Some firms think we are putting them through hoops, and we can tell they are not very receptive to it… Our arrangement in the U.S. is different than our American competitors. There is a lot of that information on the Internet. It would be nice for firms to do a bit of homework on their own about our company, so they have a good basis for spotting issues that they otherwise might not. Know our business, spot issues, think about how they impact us and pick up the phone… If they don't understand our business, they won't be able to add much value."
In response, our outside counsel view from a managing partner of a 750-lawyer firm has this philosophy at his firm:
"A strong business understanding is essential to maintaining and growing client relationships, especially for succession planning. It takes years, 10 or so, to prepare for the next generation to take over a client. This is true primarily because knowing the client's business, their appetite for risk, how an issue is going to impact their business, etc., is critical to building loyal relationships. Otherwise, we're viewed as every other law firm. This is tough to achieve, but critical to the long-term stability of our key business relationships."
Aligning inside and outside counsel's expectations of one another is more easily achieved when outside counsel know the business and anticipate legal needs and inside counsel communicate what about their business and industry is important for their outside counsel to understand.


text: Treatment By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Your options for treating your endometrial cancer will depend on the characteristics of your cancer, such as the stage, your general health and your preferences. SurgerySurgery to remove the uterus is recommended for most women with endometrial cancer. Most women with endometrial cancer undergo a procedure to remove the uterus (hysterectomy), as well as to remove the fallopian tubes and ovaries (salpingo-oophorectomy). A hysterectomy makes it impossible for you to have children in the future. Also, once your ovaries are removed, you'll experience menopause, if you haven't already. During surgery, your surgeon will also inspect the areas around your uterus to look for signs that cancer has spread. Your surgeon may also remove lymph nodes for testing. This helps determine your cancer's stage. RadiationRadiation therapy uses powerful energy beams, such as X-rays and protons, to kill cancer cells. In some instances, your doctor may recommend radiation to reduce your risk of a cancer recurrence after surgery. In certain situations, radiation therapy may also be recommended before surgery, to shrink a tumor and make it easier to remove. If you aren't healthy enough to undergo surgery, you may opt for radiation therapy only. In women with advanced endometrial cancer, radiation therapy may help control cancer-related pain. Radiation therapy can involve: Radiation from a machine outside your body. During external beam radiation, you lie on a table while a machine directs radiation to specific points on your body. Radiation placed inside your body. Internal radiation (brachytherapy) involves placing a radiation-filled device, such as small seeds, wires or a cylinder, inside your vagina for a short period of time. Hormone therapyHormone therapy involves taking medications that affect hormone levels in the body. Hormone therapy may be an option if you have advanced endometrial cancer that has spread beyond the uterus. Options include: Medications to increase the amount of progesterone in your body. Synthetic progestin, a form of the hormone progesterone, may help stop endometrial cancer cells from growing. Medications to reduce the amount of estrogen in your body. Hormone therapy drugs can help lower the levels of estrogen in your body or make it difficult for your body to use the available estrogen. Endometrial cancer cells that rely on estrogen to help them grow may die in response to these medications. ChemotherapyChemotherapy uses chemicals to kill cancer cells. You may receive one chemotherapy drug, or two or more drugs can be used in combination. You may receive chemotherapy drugs by pill (orally) or through your veins (intravenously). Chemotherapy may be recommended for women with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer that has spread beyond the uterus. These drugs enter your bloodstream and then travel through your body, killing cancer cells. Supportive (palliative) carePalliative care is specialized medical care that focuses on providing relief from pain and other symptoms of a serious illness. Palliative care specialists work with you, your family and your other doctors to provide an extra layer of support that complements your ongoing care. Palliative care can be used while undergoing other aggressive treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy. When palliative care is used along with all of the other appropriate treatments, people with cancer may feel better and live longer. Palliative care is provided by a team of doctors, nurses and other specially trained professionals. Palliative care teams aim to improve the quality of life for people with cancer and their families. This form of care is offered alongside curative or other treatments you may be receiving.

Ohio Senate Clears Bill On Asbestos Lawsuits< < Back to
A bill aimed at curbing duplicate lawsuits over on-the-job asbestos exposure in a state with one of the nation's largest backlogs of such cases has cleared the Ohio Senate.
Senators approved the divisive legislation Wednesday. It would require workers to divulge all asbestos claims filed by or for them or face perjury charges.
Proponents say the proposal prevents double-dipping by victims, who have two separate ways of pursuing damages: trusts set up by sometimes bankrupted companies to compensate victims, or lawsuits against active businesses.
Opponents say the bill impedes legitimate claims. They say its passage makes Ohio the first state in the country to impose such claims restrictions. Similar legislation has been introduced in Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas and West Virginia and in Congress.
Senate changes still need House approval.

The first reading of a proposed nut theft ordinance was postponed on Tuesday, when it was revealed to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors that the language in the ordinance excluded almond theft.
Penalties surrounding the theft of walnuts, almonds and other nut crops may change if the Yolo County Board of Supervisors adopts the proposed nut theft ordinance. There are about 28,000 acres of walnuts and almonds in the county, a number that has been increasing in recent years.
Dennis Chambers, assistant agricultural commissioner for the county, told the supervisors on Tuesday that some of the wording in the proposed ordinance needed to be changed before an initial reading could be done.
The current draft of the ordinance defined the "binding period" of the nuts in a way that excluded almonds, a crop that grossed $41 million in 2012, according to the most recent Yolo County Crop Report. Walnuts, another high-yielding crop in the county, grossed $49 million, according to the same report. These values will only increase as the total planted acreage for these crops expands.
Chambers asked to have the first reading of the ordinance rescheduled to the next meeting on May 13 to allow him to make the necessary changes to ensure that all nut crops will be protected under the ordinance. Supervisor Don Saylor agreed to waive the first reading of the ordinance and said, "I really appreciate all the work of the agricultural commissioner."
The walnut and almond industry within the county is particularly vulnerable to theft due to the manner in which the nuts are harvested from windrows, according to a staff report. As the nuts are gathered prior to harvest, thieves have been taking advantage of the opportunity by stealing the unprocessed nuts.
"Nut theft has become prolific for all counties," Chambers said. "Thieves are very corroborative."
He continued to describe that the nuts from the trees are knocked to the orchard floor during harvesting. Many thieves wait until dark to sneak onto these orchards and gather the nuts from the ground, often waiting until they have a large quantity of nuts to begin selling them.
Chambers described how he and John Young, county agricultural commissioner, have been working with other counties to learn more about nut theft prior to drafting the ordinance.
Butte, Tulare, Solano and Fresno counties have adopted similar nut theft ordinances and report significant reductions in theft.
If adopted, the Yolo County ordinance would provide the agricultural commissioner and area peace officers the authority to require proof of ownership for anyone who has in his or her possession these commodities in an unprocessed state during the harvest season. The penalty would involve a fine of no more than $500 for the first offense. For a second or subsequent violation, the fine "shall be not less than $100, nor more than $1,000," according to the ordinance.

The New Hampshire Motor Speedway will be home to the Sylvania 300 NASCAR race for five more years following the renewal of a sponsorship agreement.
North American lighting leader Osram Sylvania said it extended its title sponsorship of the race through 2017 with the operator of New Hampshire's largest sports and entertainment facility. Osram Sylvania has sponsored the race for the past 10 years.
"The relationship with (New Hampshire Motor Speedway) for the past ten years and 3,000 miles of the Sylvania 300 has been valuable to our company and brand," said Rick Leaman, president and CEO of Osram Sylvania. "Just like the nature of NASCAR racing, Osram Sylvania has strived to build a high-performance culture that is reflected in its people, products and services, and we are looking forward to the next five years of exciting NASCAR racing and engaging the brand loyal fans."
Although NASCAR attendance and television viewership has suffered in recent years, the Sylvania 300 has benefited because it is one of the 10 races at the end of the NASCAR season that are part of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The race tends to be one of the more highly rated of the season and the track can accommodate more than 100,000 visitors.

The social enterprise space is littered with exciting companies. Stop
me if you've heard this pitch: "We're like Facebook, but for the
enterprise." So it's often hard to sort out the differences between
all of these companies, and which is in the best position to help your
organization reach its goals--which, by the way, are just as complex
(internal collaboration, customer relationships, sentiment analytics
and so on).
We've been inviting many of these companies to come pitch us--on
stage, with video demonstrations and more. Hearsay Social is firmly rooted
in enterprise social, and it is also firmly rooted in helping sales
organizations and other business entities engage with customers using
traditional, public-facing social media, with the typical controls
you'd expect in the enterprise. Indeed, Hearsay counts many household
names, including some financial services companies, as customers.
Clara Shih, the company's co-founder and CEO, wrote the first Facebook
business app (Faceconnector), and then wrote a well-travelled book
called "The Facebook Era: Tapping Online Social Networks to Market,
Sell, and Innovate," before starting Hearsay, along with co-founder and
CTO Steve Garrity.
Garrity recently participated in our startup session at the
InformationWeek 500 conference. You can watch it in the video embedded
below. But you can also tune into Valley
View, our online live web TV show October 24 at 11 am PT and watch
him give an even faster-paced elevator pitch, live! (We'll have more
startups--including Taptera (enterprise mobile applications) and
Alteryx (big data), and we'll feature conversations with Cisco CEO
John Chambers and Oracle President Mark Hurd. We'll also feature a
special report from CRN, exploring the tech
companies that milked U.S. stimulus dollars. You can also register for

Sure. It feels just like Pam Anderson gently running her fingers through my hair.

ps In my original post was the requested description. Then I wrote the footnote in jest, pondered it, and realized it might possibly be true. So sadly, I went back and deleted the description, for fear of sending someone off on a wild goose chase. So secret it remains.
with regret.
Many people talk about experiencing a "kind of headache" sensation or "pressure in the head" sensation.
Dhammabodhi wrote:IanAnd wrote:Many people talk about experiencing a "kind of headache" sensation or "pressure in the head" sensation.
Nowadays this is exactly what I'm experiencing. And it's almost always there, when I'm travelling, reading, writing, in the toilet, almost asleep during a boring lecture, the list goes on... and I'm pretty sure that I'm nowhere near "deep levels" of concentration. This is just my opinion, of course, but I'd say these are pretty common and one should actually try to be indifferent to these deceptions of the mind.
catmoon wrote:Well if nothing else, I think we have firmly established where all those "third eye" tales come from. And like most myths, the reality underlying it is pretty prosaic and a lot less dramatic than the myth.
But I use the term "myth" tentatively. For all I know, there could be extensive writings in the sutras about the third eye. Anyone know of any?

And you would be wrong. Sensate phenomena can also be used as a sign (or nimitta) in the process of striving to attain absorption.

I have been playing off and on for a year now and have just gotten back into disc golf about a month ago. I am right handed and usually throw backhanded shots (my forehand travels maybe 50 ft), though I have started throwing thumper shots recently.
By bag at the moment is:
star valk 168g: generally my main driver now that my dx leopard and archangle seem to have worn out completely. I can get about 240-260ft on it with a slight fade at the end on a good backhand drive but not consistently. I like using it a lot for thumper shots (prob about 200-220ft) but I seem to put a strain on my elbow from those throws.
champ leopard 167g: I've had this disc for a while but usually used dx leopards instead (the plastic seems easier to grip). Throwing it with a 2 finger grip, the disc takes a forehanded flight path with a heavy hook to the right. My old dx leopard and archangle did this as well.
dx mako 167g: I like using this disc for approach placement shots, though it will usually fade right at the end of the shot and has a high tendency to roll. I can't drive it as far as the leopard (maybe 180 or so feet).
pro yeti aviar putter 175g: Got this today, but its definitely better then my old/used P&A avair (has probably doubled the distance from which i can actually potentially make a putt). I think I am using it from 30 or so feet out.
At this point I think my biggest problem is finding a fairway driver I can use off of the tee box. Most of my discs are very understable and a lot of the throws with them tend to curve heavy right. I can drive them (leopard and archangle) about 240ft but they are difficult to use on tight fairways. I have been using a two finger grip, but have recently tried to switch over to a power grip. Doing so seems to have cut down on the distance I can throw the disc but the disc will actually fade properly left (I still use the two finger grip for any shots I need to anhyzer). I have been using the valk for thumper shots since my dx plastic discs seem to wear out fairly quickly after such shots, but it puts a strain on my arm after a few shots. In flight the disc does a 360 rotation in the air causing it to drop down instead of gliding (Im not sure if its suppose to do that or not). Im not sure if I am throwing it to high, putting to much force on the throw, or if the valk is just not a good disc for such shots.

Terminal Lance and Doctrine Man: Where are the Navy and AF equivalents?
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military from 1991 to 2008 for the Wall Street Journal and then the Washington Post. He can be reached at email@example.com.
So the Marines and Army have their representative creatures. (And it is appropriate that USMC one is enlisted whilst the Army's is an officer.) The other night, the secretary of the Army gave Doctrine Man's influence a big shoutout. Where are the Navy and Air Force equivalents?
Meantime, I'm thinking that firing up Chinese fishing boats could be a new Olympic sport. Latest team to enter is Indonesia.

Liam Plunkett picked up four wickets as Yorkshire made short work of Northamptonshire on the final day to record their third LV= County Championship win of the season.
Hosts Northamptonshire began on 66 for three in pursuit of an improbable 432 for victory but, even with a delayed start to proceedings, they only lasted until mid-afternoon before being bowled out for 160.
Plunkett led the way as he claimed four of the final five wickets to fall as Yorkshire sealed victory by 271 runs, and in the process inflict a fifth defeat in six matches on Division One strugglers Northamptonshire.
At Old Trafford a ll-rounder Peter Trego starred with the ball as Somerset chased an innings victory against Lancashire.
The experienced Trego and Somerset's young guns Craig Overton and George Dockrell each took three wickets apiece as Lancashire were bowled out for 203 in pursuit of Somerset's 420.
Then, after the home side were made to follow on, Trego dismissed Alex Davies, Paul Horton and Ashwell Prince cheaply to reduce Lancashire to 95 for three at the close on day three - still trailing by 122.
At Hove Alex Hales bludgeoned his first Championship century in nearly two years for Nottinghamshire to show England's One-Day International side what they were missing.
Hales blitzed 167 from 133 balls as Nottinghamshire took control, closing the third day with a commanding 404-run lead after declaring on 336 for four in their second innings.
Before that Sussex's Ed Joyce turned an overnight 104 into an unbeaten 164 in his side's first-innings total of 355 all out, but it was Hales' big hitting that dominated proceedings.
Middlesex opener Sam Robson stood firm as Durham piled on the pressure in search of their first championship win of the season.
Robson finished day three at Chester-le-Street on 42 not out with his side on 90 for two in their second innings and still trailing by 148 after being asked to follow on.
Chris Rushworth had earlier trapped Chris Rogers leg before for one with the score on five before Keaton Jennings took a fine diving catch off the bowling of Mark Wood to remove Dawid Malan and leave the champions in the driving seat heading into the final day.
In Division Two, Hampshire captain Jimmy Adams hit his second half-century of the match against bottom side Derbyshire at the Ageas Bowl.
Adams, having scored 60 on day one, made 67 to help Hampshire reach 214 for five declared, which set Derbyshire what looks a testing 346-run victory chase. By close of play, the visitors had made 31 without loss.
Geraint Jones rolled back the years with a brutal 93 for Gloucestershire, but Leicestershire hold a slender 21-run advantage going into the final day at Grace Road.
Will Gidman also added a half-century to his five-wicket haul for the visitors in reply to Leicestershire's 269 all out but a late collapse saw them dismissed for 260. Leicestershire reached 12 without loss in their second innings, before bad light and rain brought an early end to proceedings.
Jack Shantry took six wickets as Worcestershire forced Surrey to follow-on and take a 159-run lead into the final day at the Kia Oval.
Shantry's emphatic display included four wickets in 11 balls, while Zafar Ansari's was stranded on an unbeaten 77 in Surrey's first innings and ended on 50 not out at the close as his side moved to 111 for three.
Will Bragg helped edge Glamorgan into a 152-run lead over Essex on a rain-hit third day at Chelmsford, where home bowler Reece Topley claimed his 10th wicket of the match.
Bragg, who had scored 93 in the first innings, fell just short of a second half-century when he was caught on 46, before 20-year-old Topley punished Glamorgan's middle order as the visitors finished the day on 188 for eight.

1984 Chevy C10 - Square-Body Stud
From Scrap Yard To Main Stage
Picking up this '84 C10 for $350 in the Spring of '04, Scott Doane was the proud new owner of a truck with a blown engine, leaking automatic transmission, hammered body, and beat interior. The truck may not have been in optimal condition for driving, but for a project truck, it served the beautiful purpose Scott had in mind. The truck went from salvage yard to show circuit stud in just two short years. We can appreciate the huge makeover, but then again, Hill's Hot Rods in Lubbock, Texas, is used to turning scrap into gold.
Hill's Hot Rods was the first and only place Scott took his C10 to. This decision was an easy one, as Scott is also a Lubbock resident and sees the Hill's crew rolling around town in nice rides all the time. The teardown process was quick and mostly painless. The rebuilding process, however, would turn the truck into a real C10 stunner. Up front, Hills Hot Rods added DJM 3-inch drop spindles, Firestone airbags, and Air Ride Technologies shocks. Twenty-inch Bonspeed Crokus billet wheels with BFGoodrich tires were bolted onto the spindles, and look right at home under the front fenders.
Out back, a super C-notch, Air Ride Technologies 4-bar with Panhard bar and Firestone `bags bring the bed down over the 22-inch Bonspeed wheels. A '91 Chevy TBI engine was dressed with ceramic Flow Tech headers, Flowmaster mufflers, and several painted and billet pieces. The Bow Tie engine is backed by a 700-R4 and GM 10-bolt with 4.11 gears. An '87 Blazer 20-gallon gas tank keeps precious fuel ready for the small-block.
Hill's Hot Rods is known for truck bodywork and Scott's C10 doesn't disappoint. LMC Trucks was used for the new steel body panels, including the doors, fenders, bedsides, and tailgate. Gone are the door handles, cab seams, marker lights, stake pockets, and the tailgate was smoothed and welded shut. The '91 Suburban front grille shell and headlights freshen up the '84 body, while the custom flush C10 taillights add to the wild side. Auto Air Colors were then mixed and sprayed to the arrow-straight surface, including silver, blue, green, with flames, water effects, shadows, and graphics. A Gaylord's XP-2000 lid keeps the bed area covered.
Inside the `84's doors lies a gray Katzkin-leather-covered interior, built by Fisher Trim and Jimmy Davis at Vision Audio. The '62 C10 steel dash has blue-tinted gauges, serves as the mounting point for the custom center console, and is the backdrop for the one-off billet wheel by BAD. Jimmy Davis hid all of the window switches and air ride controls, and then placed the radio controls in the center console. JL Audio amps mounted in between the Suburban seats power the JL Audio components in the custom door panels and the JL Audio sub in the custom enclosure behind the seat. Vision Audio is responsible for the clean audio work.
From almost a goner to a truck Scott is completely proud of, this C10 had a real adventure. Scott is quick to thank his wife Aimee, sons Tyler and Trevor, and the talented people who helped him to achieve his dream truck.

Family of Oregon mall shooting victim wants changes to gun laws
TUALATIN, Ore. - The family of the man who was killed in the shooting at Clackamas Town Center last year wants to see changes in gun laws both in Oregon and nationwide.
Steve Forsyth's wife and kids are in counseling. They can't sleep at night, but the family recognizes the value of sharing their story and how it may help shape the way people look at gun violence.
About the only solace Forsyth's family took in how he died was that he didn't suffer.
"He was talking to his dad when he was shot," said Paul Kemp on Monday, who was Forsyth's brother-in-law. "Steve dropped the phone, of course. He was dead before he hit the floor."
Since the shooting, Kemp has reached out to national groups trying to curb gun violence and asking how he can help.
Kemp is not a bleeding-heart liberal.
"I'm a registered Republican and a gun owner," he said. "But I secure my weapons, and I'm not going to give them up.
But Kemp does believe in a national background check when someone's buying a gun. He believes there's no need for citizens to be able to buy high-capacity magazines. He also thinks there ought to be consequences for gun owners who don't properly store their weapons.
Jacob Tyler Roberts, the young man who shot and killed Forsyth, Cindy Yuille and seriously wounded 15-year-old Kristina Shevchenko before fatally shooting himself Dec. 11, 2012, would have passed a background check. But he'd stolen the gun he used that day, and investigators have told Kemp the shooter had with him 145 rounds of ammunition.
"The absolute worst day of my life - the worst event - was having to tell Alex his dad was dead, was shot at the mall," Kemp said. "There's no good way to do that, and I cannot fathom what those parents in Newtown went through. ... It's not worth it and it should not happen to more families."
Alex is 14 years old and he and his father share a birthday.
Kemp plans to be in Salem later this week, talking to state lawmakers about changing gun laws in Oregon.
Four proposed gun-control measures go before the Oregon Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday.
Senate Bill 347 would ban guns in primary and secondary schools. Senate Bill 699 would prohibit openly carrying a weapon in public buildings, including the state Capitol. Another, Senate Bill 700 requires background checks on gun sales and transfers, except between family members, and Senate Bill 796 requires a shooting test to obtain a concealed-handgun license.
Gun rights supporters say the bills would only punish gun owners who obey the law and make it tougher for them to protect themselves and the people around them.

Victorino ready to go following collision
ST. PETERSBURG -- The one thing the Red Sox have learned early in Shane Victorino's tenure with the team is that it takes a lot to keep him out of the lineup.
Two days after what looked like a severe collision with the visitors' bullpen wall at Fenway, Victorino was right back in manager John Farrell's lineup on Tuesday night, batting second against the Rays.
Victorino 1, Red Sox bullpen wall 0?
"I wouldn't say I won the battle," Victorino said. "No, it feels good. My body feels good. I'm not trying to do that again, but I was just trying to make the play. But I feel good physically and ready to go tonight."
Following Sunday's game, Victorino was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital for tests. He passed all of them.
"The way he bounced off [the wall], it looked ugly at the time," Farrell said, "but every image, every test that we put him through, he's 100 percent given where he's at. No fractures or any injuries of any kind. He's ready to go tonight."
Victorino is a fan of the padding that has been added to the outfield walls at Fenway over the years.
"It definitely worked," said Victorino. "I'm excited to be back out there and not miss any games."
Victorino hasn't seen the play.
"I tried not to watch the replay," Victorino said. "Obviously I had to get my eye on [the ball]. There was a scary crash. Obviously where a bullpen of an opposing team runs over to you, gets up off the bench, you obviously understand there was some concern. I thank those guys [on the Blue Jays] for getting up and making sure I was all right."

Disc Edema in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

- How to Read a Study Record
Papilledema is defined as swelling of the optic nerves often due to increased intracranial pressure. When present, it often indicates life-threatening lesions of the brain such as tumors, abscesses, meningitis, encephalitis, venous sinus obstruction or intracranial hemorrhage. A similar clinical picture can also be caused by other conditions such as malignant hypertension, diabetic papillopathy and uremia. When the intracranial pressure is elevated in the absence of any known cause then it is called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). Untreated papilledema can cause progressive optic nerve damage and blindness.
Patients with chronic kidney disease have a number of co-morbidities and thus are at an increased risk for developing papilledema. Although clinicians have observed that patients with kidney diseases have increased incidence of papilledema (unpublished data by Corbett et al), there have been no studies on this subject to date. We believe that a higher incidence of papilledema is found in patients with kidney diseases and this study could provide evidence to suggest routine ophthalmic screening in this patient group.
Hypothesis: The prevalence of optic disc swelling is increased in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Purpose: To establish the prevalence of disc edema in patients with chronic kidney disease.

|Official Title:
|Incidence and Causes of Disc Edema in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
- disc edema [ Time Frame: 0 days ]
- ophthalmoscopic diagnosis [ Time Frame: 0 days ]
- neurologic diagnosis [ Time Frame: 1 month ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|January 2010
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|April 2011
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
The cohort comprises of patients who are diagnosed to have chronic kidney disease as defined by the K/DOQI Clinical Practice Guidelines for Chronic Kidney Disease-2002.
Detailed Description:
The craniospinal cavity is enclosed by a rigid, non-compressible bone and thus has a constant volume. It is filled with soft tissue (brain, spinal cord and connective tissue), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and circulating blood. Intracranial pressure (ICP) is the pressure of the fluid that bathes the brain and the spinal cord. The ICP is regulated by a fine balance between the production and absorption of CSF. Any disturbance in the volumes of the contents of the rigid craniospinal cavity will cause an alteration of the ICP. Intracranial pressure can be elevated from a number of disease processes such as space occupying lesions, abnormalities of the production and absorption of the CSF and abnormalities of the circulation such as venous obstruction.
Raised ICP will symptomatically manifest as headache, vomiting, tinnitus and diplopia in addition to neurologic symptoms related to the lesion location and type. The increased ICP can be transmitted to the optic nerves causing papilledema, defined as swelling of the optic nerve head (papilla) secondary to raised ICP. Swelling of the optic nerves in the absence of raised ICP is termed disc edema (Parsons JH, Miller NR). Causes of disc edema are extensive and include ischemic optic neuropathy, malignant hypertension, diabetic papillopathy, uremia, intracranial hypotension (CSF leak).
Papilledema is considered a medical emergency and is investigated by means of neuroimaging (to evaluate intracranial lesions) and lumbar puncture (to evaluate the opening pressure and CSF contents). A diagnosis of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is made when there is elevated ICP in the absence of clinical, laboratory or radiological evidence of any known cause of raised ICP.
The most feared complication of untreated papilledema is progressive optic nerve atrophy resulting in vision loss. Early recognition, investigation and treatment of papilledema and its causes can prevent blindness.
Patients with chronic kidney diseases have a number of risk factors which predispose them to the development of disc edema. Medical comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus increase their risk for optic nerve head diseases such as ischemic optic neuropathy and diabetic papillopathy. Malignant hypertension, uremia and dialysis dysequilibrium syndrome also are known to cause papilledema.
There are no studies in the English literature to date, on disc edema in patients with kidney diseases. However, neuroophthalmologists have clinically observed that patients with chronic kidney diseases appear to have an increased incidence of optic nerve swelling (Corbett JJ, unpublished data). A study looking at optic nerve edema in this group of patients is overdue and may determine additional guidelines in the management of patients with chronic kidney diseases.
The patients enrolled in the study will undergo an optic nerve head examination by ophthalmoscopy to identify patients with disc edema. If disc edema is detected on the screening examination, the patients will be referred to the Neuroophthalmology service for evaluation and investigations to determine the further management. The results of the neuroophthalmologic workup for patients with disc edema will be reviewed to ascertain the etiology of disc edema.

Check out The 5 Latest New Faces in Fashion and Beauty
I might be pretty irked if I was a model. After all, celebrities seem to be taking over the top spots in fashion and beauty campaigns that formerly went to them. But after looking at these gorgeous women, it's no wonder they are scoring these amazing gigs. Aside from Cara Delevigne as the new face of Pepe Jeans and Kate Moss for Kerastase, we have Tilda Swinton landing a highly coveted spot as a Chanel model, and I hear she was hand picked by Karl himself, Alexa Chung for L'Oreal and rising American star from the show Girls, Allison Williams for Simple Skincare. Check out the deals they've scored and see some of the early released campaign photos here.

He looks great on tape. He labored significantly at the combine. Maybe he was sick or out of shape. He didn't look like a 1st rounder running through position drills. Little concerned but that doesn't hurt him that much. D Moore had the same combine. I went back and watched more of each and still came away with the same feelings.
Whereas there are 5 elite OL prospects worthy of being selected in the top half of the first round of this draft (Luke Joeckel, Eric Fisher, and Lane Johnson at tackle, and Chance Warmack and Jonathan Cooper at guard), the strength of the wideout and running back class in on day two of the draft, not day one.They better get some wide receivers and a lead running back or that offensive line will have no one to block for
The only wideouts with a solid first round grade right now are Cordarelle Patterson and Tavon Austin, and both have question marks (Patterson could be an athletic freak in the Julio Jones mold, but he has only one year of major college experience, and Austin could be an athletic freak in the Percy Harvin mold, but he is ridiculously undersized). The only first round rated RB right now is Eddie Lacy, but how much of his production a factor of running behind what would be a pretty darn good NFL o-line featuring the likes of Chance Warmack, D.J. Fluker, Barrett Jones, etc.
Wideouts who may be available on day 2 include Keenan Allen, DeAndre Hopkins, Terrence Williams, Justin Hunter, Robert Woods, Quinton Patton, Markus Wheaton, Da'Rick Rogers, Aaron Dobson, Marquis Goodwin, Ryan Swope, and Stedman Bailey. Running backs who may be available on day 2 include Giovanni Bernard, Joseph Randle, Montee Ball, Jonathan Franklin, Stepfan Taylor, Andre Ellington, and Christine Michael.
Even though we did use two first rounders and two second rounders recently on the OL, I think OL would be a BPA pick yet again if we decide to go offense in round 1. That said, I also see an abundance of early first round pass rushers this year as well, so I think it is more likely that we go defense if any of the pass rushers fall to us (Jarvis Jones, DaMontre Moore, Bjoern Werner, Dion Jordan, Ezekiel Ansah, or Barkevious Mingo).

Wiltshire faces a day of disruption next month as the country's biggest teaching union, the National Union of Teachers (NUT), has announced its members will strike on July 10 to coincide with action by local government workers.
Unison, GMB and Unite will be balloting their members over taking action on that day as they are angry at a Government pay offer.
It will be the third action carried out by the NUT since last October and it is likely to cause disruption for parents.
The union is in disagreement with the Government over wages and workloads, saying it is defending the future of the profession.
Andy Woolley, South West regional secretary of the NUT, said: "The Government is still failing to make progress on our trade dispute over teachers' pay, pensions and workload.
"The talks are still only about the implementation of Government policies, not about the fundamental issues we believe to be detrimental to education and the profession.
"For teachers, performance-related pay, working until 68 for a full pension and a heavy workload for 60 hours a week, is unsustainable.
"This action is the responsibility of a Government and Education Secretary who are refusing point blank to accept the damage their reforms are doing to the teaching profession. The consequences of turning teaching into a totally unattractive career choice will most certainly lead to teacher shortages.
"Strike action is a last resort for teachers and we deeply regret the disruption it causes parents and pupils. This date has been chosen to cause minimum disruption to examinations."
The potential strike by local government workers comes after the unions rejected the Government's offer of a pay increase.
The National Employers' offer is for increases of between 1.25 and 4.66 per cent for those on the bottom six pay points and one per cent for the remainder of employees, while chief officers have not been offered a pay increase.
Unison said its members in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will walk out for 24 hours, with other unions set to announce a similar move in the coming week.
Unison announced that its local government members backed action by 58 per cent in protest at a pay offer worth one per cent for most workers.
General secretary Dave Prentis said: "We have a clear majority for strike action so a one-day strike will go ahead on July 10.
"We expect to be joined in that action by other unions in local government and will be campaigning amongst our members for maximum support on that day.
"Many of our members are low paid women earning barely above the minimum wage, who care for our children, our elderly and our vulnerable and they deserve better treatment than they have had at the hands of this government.
"The employers must get back into talks immediately to avoid a damaging dispute."
Unison said local government workers have been "condemned" to three consecutive years of pay freezes, followed by below-inflation rises in 2013 and 2014, leaving their pay reduced by almost 20 per cent since the coalition came to power.
The GMB and Unite will announce voting results over the next week, while the Public and Commercial Services union is also balloting its members for a strike in a long-running dispute over cuts in the civil service, with the result also due by the end of the month.
A Local Government Association spokesman said: "It is disappointing that Unison will be proceeding with strike action. Local government staff have worked wonders while councils have been tackling the biggest funding cuts in living memory and we have no doubt that many will still be at work on the day of strike action.
"The pay offer we have made would increase the pay of most employees by one per cent while the lowest paid would receive an increase of more than four per cent. This is the fairest possible deal for our employees given the limits of what we can afford.
"This strike will not change the pay offer we have made, but it will mean those who take part lose a day's pay."

Overpass rock victim: 'It's really a miracle'
EUGENE, Ore. - Two University of Oregon athletes are home recovering after a rock hit their windshield when driving under an overpass near Rice Hill.
UO track athletes Molly Grabill and Chris Brewer were traveling on Interstate 5 near milepost 146 when a rock smashed onto their car and hit Grabill in the face.
Her passenger, Chris Brewer, who is also a UO track athlete, grabbed the wheel and tried to control the vehicle.
He was unable to keep it under control as the vehicle traveled onto the shoulder and rolled on the freeway coming to rest facing the opposite direction.
In a statement on Wednesday Brewer said, "I am just thankful that Molly and I are alright. It's really a miracle."
Drivers in the area are now somewhat concerned about driving under overpasses.
"Now I'm starting to get nervous when there's pedestrians up there," said Diane Hand, a resident of Roseburg.
"I really haven't noticed anybody so that's kind of scary in itself, to not be able to see what's coming," said Luke Scruggs, an Oregon City resident.
According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, the overpass near 146 is fenced like many others in the state.
However, spokesman Rick Little said some overpasses have higher priority than others to get funding and several are still not fenced yet.
"I think the key here is that we build them to the best available standards to deter people from throwing," Little said. "You can't prevent it but you can certainly deter it."
Oregon State Police are still investigating how the rock struck their vehicle.
If you have any information, you are urged to call Detective Tom Willis at (541) 440-3334 or the OSP Southern Command Center dispatch at (541) 440-3333.

Sisters Franny and Zo and their brother J.D. find themselves being admitted to an exclusive boarding school called the Allbright Academy. Only Zo really qualified but she refuses to attend unless her brother and sister can go too. That's how bad the Academy wants to recruit Zo.
The school's buildings and grounds are like a picture postcard, the food is exceptional and the school makes chocolate brownies available throughout the day. The kids at the school are smart, beautiful and dedicated to their studies. They are also overly nice. What could be better?
When Franny's new friend Calpurnia gets sick and has to rest at home for a few weeks, she discovers something troubling. At home, she doesn't seem nearly as bright or beautiful. Something weird is definately going on. Is the Allbright Academy THAT good? What could the Allbright Academy be doing to makes its students so perfect?
