An observant 6-year-old girl led authorities to find an 86-year-old man who had gone missing from his Redwood Valley home Tuesday, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.
The man was reported missing at 3:40 p.m. from his Walnut Lane home, where deputies responded and learned the man had Alzheimer's and had gone for a walk with his dog. Family members reportedly searched the immediate area when the dog returned about an hour later without the elderly man, according to the MCSO.
Deputies called the Redwood Valley-Calpella Fire Department and Ukiah Ambulance to help, and learned in the ensuing search that the missing man was possibly on Road A. Searchers responded and found the man caught in some brush, according to the MCSO.
While at the Road A location, deputies learned that Natalie Wildberger, 6, heard noises coming from the brush while playing outside, and thought she heard someone calling for help. The girl went to her father, and the two found the missing 86-year-old man on the other side of a fence, stuck in the brush.
The Redwood Valley-Calpella Fire Department and Ukiah Ambulance removed the man from the brush and took him to Ukiah Valley Medical Center for observation, according to the MCSO.
"The Mendocino County Sheriff's Office would like to thank Natalie for a job well done!" the MCSO stated.
Officers, Fort Bragg man injured in grocery store scuffle
Two officers and a 46-year-old man who was reportedly seen carrying a knife and acting strangely at Harvest Market in Fort Bragg were injured Tuesday morning in an ensuing struggle, according to the Fort Bragg Police Department.
Officers arrived and recognized the man as Michael D. Bottenfield Jr., 46, of Fort Bragg. He appeared to be under the influence of a controlled substance when officers spoke to him, according to the FBPD, and allegedly resisted when officers started to search him.
Police used a Taser, pepper spray and a baton on Bottenfield during the ensuing struggle, all to no effect, according to the FBPD. Bottenfield and two officers took minor injuries in the fight before police arrested him on suspicion of battery with serious injury to a peace officer, obstructing or delaying a peace officer and being under the influence of a controlled substance.
Bottenfield and the two officers were treated and released from the Mendocino Coast District Hospital Emergency Room, and Bottenfield was booked at the Mendocino County Jail in Ukiah.

When Doors drummer John Densmore gets offers to sell the legendary band's music for commercial purposes, he asks himself one simple question: What would Jim Morrison do?The lead singer, who died in 1971, was adamant that the band's music never be used for unseemly reasons."I understand the difficult musical situation," Densmore said in a recent telephone interview. "I get that. It's hard out there. … But money is like fertilizer. When hoarded, it stinks."The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will be at the Taylorsville Graywhale store on Saturday signing copies of his new book, The Doors: Unhinged. The book is a philosophical treatise on money and integrity, as well as a fascinating behind-the-scenes narrative of his often-acrimonious legal battles with the band's two other members, Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek, who died on May 20.The trio fought over the use of The Doors' name for a tour that included Krieger and Manzarek; they also battled when Densmore vetoed a reported $15 million offer by Cadillac to use "Break On Through (To the Other Side)" in a car commercial.Cadillac ended up using Led Zeppelin for its "Break Through" marketing campaign."All I have to go on was how [Morrison] was when he was alive," Densmore said. "He was hoping that his lyrics said something about the human condition, not 'Break On Through' [being the name] of a new deodorant."It's not the first time a carmaker has wanted to use The Doors' music for commercial purposes. In 1968, Densmore, Krieger and Manzarek wanted to deal with Buick for the rights to "Light My Fire." But Morrison threatened to sue General Motors and destroy a Buick with a sledgehammer if they went through with the deal. The song, of course, was never used.After that, the band agreed to split everything equally and gave each member veto power if only three of the members agreed on something, they would not go through with it."Jim went ballistic about Buick," Densmore said, adding that Krieger was actually the primary writer of "Light My Fire.""Jim cared about the catalog."For Densmore, writing the book was "cathartic." He said he has no animosity toward Manzarek and Krieger. In fact, after Manzarek was diagnosed with bile-duct cancer, Densmore sent him and Krieger the final chapter of The Doors: Unhinged, an acknowledgment of how much he appreciated them. Before Manzarek passed, the two talked by telephone. It was a "good conversation. … Fortunately, we had closure."Densmore acknowledged that all this talk about "selling out" seems ironic, seeing as how he is traveling the country trying to sell a book about The Doors. But, he pointed out, his limited book-promotion tour stops only at independent record stores.Of course, Graywhale was happy to host Densmore.Dustin Hansen, general manager of Graywhale Entertainment, said Densmore has been a big supporter of national Record Store Day, when independent record stores are given the opportunity to sell special releases."It blew my mind," Densmore said of learning about Record Store Day. "Borders came to town and kicked out the independent stores. And then they got their karma."

Topic: Options for Chemotherapy
Hi Everyone,
My Dad was diagnosed with this cancer in his liver two years ago. It started on his bile duct and has since spread to 3 other places on his liver. He has been through numerous rounds of chemotherapy, and so far none have worked for an extended period. His body has become immune to the therapy and the cancer cells have become active once again.
He just went through a 15 day session of radiation on the smaller tumours. However he has one larger tumour that he needs chemotherapy to kill off. These are the drugs he has been on so far:
First set: Gemcitobine
Folinic Acid
Second set: xeloda and cisplatin
Third Set: taxotera
I was wondering if maybe someone had some suggestions as to a drug they have been on that might work for my father? I would be open to any suggestions! I have been doing some of my own research and will be in touch with his doctor to let him know my findings. Thank you!

©1957 Herman Hesse; (P)2009 BBC Audio
"My favorite of Hesse's novels, wonderfully read."
In my college years, Hermann Hesse was one author considered required reading by my peers. I read and reread all of his better known novels and found them all worthwhile. But of all of Hesse's work, it is Narcissus and Goldmund that moved me most deeply and it is the novel (of Hesse's) to which I have returned to most often.
Like all of Hesse's novels, it is about the the pursuit of the meaning of life, but here the writing is less self-conscious, simpler in some ways, but deeper in the exploring the range of human experience. It has drama, insight, poetic vision and covers a wide range of experiences. It is very Existential in some ways, but touches on the mystical in the arts with a more profound effect than the more "metaphysical" manner of the earlier novels.
This novel is about two medieval men with a very deep friendship but with very different temperaments. The meet in a monastery (after the death of Goldmund's mother). They appear to be complete opposites each seeks to bring meaning to their existence; Narcissus seeks peace and salvation (purity of mind) within a religious life in a monastery, while Goldmund is burning with the desire to experience life and throw himself into the world.
The story is about finding one's way and being true to one's inner nature. Narcissus lives a life of constraint but one that has purpose for him. Goldmund is unhappy in the monastery, and Narcissus tells him "be yourself, try to realize yourself" and encourages him to find his own way. The men separate to following their own paths. We follow the lives of both of these men, and in their contrasting experiences.
Goldmund then wanders the world in search of adventure, love and self-discovery . He has fantastic adventures, experiences the best and worst of humanity surrounded by the Black Plague; and in the mist of all these hardships, he finds meaning and beauty. After being profoundly touched by the beauty of wooden statue of the Madonna, the artist within himself awakens giving a new purpose and direction for his life. He seeks out the artist and becomes his apprentice. He develops his own skills, sacrificing the wild experiences and settling down to work (at least for the duration of the work) and he creates a sculpture of great merit.
Hesse writes powerfully and beautifully on the conflict between the Apollonian (understanding; form, order, restraint, conforming, the world of the intellect/mind) and the Dionysian (experience; passion, frivolity, lust, expression, the world of images/symbol/beauty). Hesse is able to bring out the conflict between flesh and spirit, emotion and control, ambition and modesty. This is a novel about the dilemma of life, and two possible paths that of spiritual pilgrims and that of artistic souls on the road of life. This was perfectly timed for me, in my early twenties, this book seems to express artistically and poignantly the central conflict of my life.
I own dozens of audiobooks, and none are better performed than this one. The narrator, Simon Vance, has the perfect voice, expression and pacing for such a meaningfull story. He varies the pitch and style of his speech to clearly portray each of the characters and expresses the difference between the thoughts and the words of the characters. He never over-acts nor does he ever rush the delivery. I've read the book several times, but in my listening to the audiobook I heard details that I'd never noticed before. As a result of the enjoyment of this performance, I've now purchased many other audiobooks narrated by Simon Vance, they are all well-read. Most highly recommended.
"Typical Germanic "depth of soul" novel"
I frankly found this novel a bit tedious. It's quintessentially Germanic. Set rather vaguely in a pre-industrial stylized world of monks, craftsmen, blacksmiths, gypsy women, etc., it tells the story of the life of Goldmund. The life is fairly implausible. There are long, long, sections in which his mind and feelings and relationships are described in depth. The author's outlook, when it comes right down to it, is that the only thing that has real value in the world is aesthetic experience. THe deeper your soul, the deeper, and hence more valuable this will be. EVen when Goldmund is having sex with every girl he meets, this is still understand as essentially aesthetic--or as the foundation for something aesthetic. I think if I'd read this when I was 19 I'd have been very impressed; but not being 19, I found it often tiresome. The narration is very good.
A storyteller, reader, and writer (in that chronological order) since childhood, Audible helps me to bring all 3 together.
"One of the greatest novels I've ever read"
Superb, beautifully written (and well-translated!) and splendidly read by Simon Vance. I'd read most of Hesse's novels, but always avoided this one for some reason, thinking it was a minor work. Not at all! It's one of the greatest novels by a great writer. Spiritually and psychologically profound, it's mostly about Goldmund, one of the most engaging characters I've ever encountered. The large amount of introspective material is not boring for a second, and is seamlessly woven into the action and descriptions. One of the best Audible experiences I've had.
"All that a good book should be"
Simon Vance's delivery is just spectacular. He brings out every detail of Hesse's beautiful prose and has allowed me to discover the beauty of passages that I missed while reading the print version.
I cannot help but to identify with Narcissus. He is all that I seek to emulate, a man devoted to the life of the mind who seeks transcendence through the wisdom that humanity has stored in text.
The final scene shows the essence of what Hesse was trying to communicate, the importance of living before one can achieve a good death.
It is perhaps cliche to say that death was what moved me the most in the novel but I can't emphasize the beautiful sadness with which Hesse paints the tows ravaged by the Black Death.
"philosophy and plot"
I was compelled to keep listening. Well defined character who grows throughout the story. Lots of insightful and wise observations about life as well as still having a plot. Caused me to really feel some emotions.
I read it since I enjoyed Siddhartha more than 10 years ago. Now I want to re-read that one too. If I recall correctly, this book has more plot, but both have philosophy and cause you to think deeply.
Narration was good and not distracting at all.
"excellent !"
i extremely enjoyed this book. the narrator has the voice for herman hesse works. my most memorable moment here is when goldmund is pursuing the mistress of the count and the second visit gets found in their castle by the guards. as if he were set up. the moment actually had my heart pounding as if i were in the moment.
second most memorable moment was when goldmund enters the cabin full of dead family members. such a moment takes one a while to accept if at all. even for the reader let alone being there. hesse paints an etchingly vivid canvas for what death looks like in person. that chapter struck me. goldmund analyzes the scene in such a romantic and artistic manner. it opens a door for new ways to look at death. it also left a heavy feeling of awe and confusion and rejection of the scene. you dont want to believe it but here it is. in your face. and goldmund shows you a sense of glory with his imagery.
"I'm fond of the way Hermann Hesse books are built!"
Each book has a construction based on the many available possibilities, the "perhaps" factor is always present and with full learning-to-understand-our-reality teachings
"A True Classic"
This is the single most valuable book I have ever read in my life thus far.
"There is scarcely any passion without struggle." Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays
"Abbot and La Belle Au"
Published in 1930, this is Herman Hesse's brilliant story of two friends in medieval Germany. Largely metaphorical, this has the feel of a cautionary fairy tale with no true compass as to geography or time. The story begins when Goldmund, a student, and Narcissus, a teacher only a few years older, become friends at a cloister school. At first, Goldmund earnestly focuses on his studies, but then a few fellow students invite him to go off campus, where he's seduced by a young Gypsy girl. From that day forward, his mind never wanders far from thoughts of women, their sheer beauty and the pleasures of the senses.
He leaves and on his journeys he has numerous affairs with women of all ages, statuses and sizes (similar to Wilt Chamberlain in legion and legend). All women find him irresistible. He falls for the first young lady to say no, loses her to the serpent of lust for her younger, prettier sister, and then travels far and wide. He settles to become a sculptor for several years, able to brilliantly capture the beauty he has seen. He becomes restless, continues his travels and runs into the unmitigated ugliness of the Black Plague. There's much more, but I'll add no more so I don't spoil the story, except to say that when both he and Narcissus, now an abbot, are much older, they visit and converse at length with each other.
The novel provides perhaps the most vivid contrast I've read between art, the beauty of the skin and sensual pleasures, on the one hand, and beauty of the spirit, stability, thinking and structure on the other.
"Compelling listening, beautiful in parts"
Impressive novel written in the '30s. Compelling listening with nuanced reference to sexual denial and abuse, trust, and power in relationships. Disturbing in many dimensions, not always satisfying, but nevertheless compulsive listening especially as the naive Goldmund leaves the Cloister only to engage in compulsive sexual and other exploits, at times exploitative... These are counterposed with the introspective ascetic life of his friend Narcissus and the inward looking world he inhabits.
"Life Changing Moments"
I first read this book 40 years ago, and it had a monumental effect on me. Listening to it again has been wonderful. I don't normally go in for recommending books to other people, but I would cheerfully encourage you to read this one.
"Uninspiring and tediously laboured"
It is stuck uncomfortably between a grounding in reality and allegory. The characters are neither realistic nor likeable.
No, I am a fan of Hesse and have enjoyed many of his books. I wrote a detailed review on Amazon on why this one failed for me.
The first quarter is quite good. It declines from then on
The themes addressing the meaning of life, spirituality and rejection of the material.

Crashes sends one to the hospital
December 6, 2012
A car crash at the intersection of Tata Lane and Lake Tahoe Boulevard sent a 26-year-old South Lake Tahoe woman to the hospital Tuesday afternoon.
About 12:55 p.m., the woman drove a Lexus sedan northbound from the stop sign on Tata Lane and struck a Chevrolet Tahoe driving east on Lake Tahoe Boulevard, said South Lake Tahoe police Lt. David Stevenson.
The Tahoe was traveling about 35 mph when it was struck in the side by the Lexus, Stevenson said.
The woman was taken to Barton Memorial Hospital with complaints of pain. She is believed to be at fault in the crash, according to police.

People who took glucosamine or chondroitin outlived those who didn't, and those who took omega-3 fish oils also lived longer, a new study reveals.
Doctors in a lifespan study asked 77,673 men and women, aged 50 to 76, to record which vitamins and supplements they were taking during a 10-year tracking period. After five more years of follow up, researchers found that those who had taken glucosamine infrequently or for a short period of time were 8 percent less likely to have died from any cause compared to those who had not taken glucosamine, and those who had taken glucosamine regularly were 17 percent less likely. For chondroitin, compared to non-users, low users were 12 percent less likely to have died and high users 17 percent less likely. For omega-3s, those who had taken high levels of fish oils were 17 percent less likely to have died compared to non-users.

The Effect of Cataract on Photoentrainment of the Circadian Rhythm in Humans (CIRCAT)
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Cataract is globally the most common cause of blindness and in Denmark the operation with - 50.000 treatments per year - is the most common eye operation. The cause of cataract is growth and denaturation of the lens proteins. This leads to an increased absorption of blue light and increased light scatter. This may affect newly discovered cells in the retina that are involved in the regulation of the circadian rhythm. When the internal circadian rhythm is not synchronized with the external day and night a phase-shift occurs. Most people know of this discomfort as jet-lag, but the consequences may be much more severe such as heighten risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.
The goal of this project is to study how the circadian regulating cells of the retina is affected by cataract and by the operation. Cataract patients are studied before and after the operation with questionnaires, hormone and activity measurements and with a specialized pupil measurement that measures the indirect response of the circadian regulating cells to blue light.
Results from this study aim to shed light on the regulatory mechanisms of the eye on the circadian rhythm and how these are affected by cataract. Furthermore, choice of intraocular lens is evaluated. This may have impact on clinical practise especially with regard to choice of intraocular lens and widened indications for cataract surgery.

Every time I see an Analogue Solutions Europa Sequencer demo I know I have to get one soon. It's a good time machine especially here set up with Depeche Mode's People are People drum kit. By the way if you haven't heard the B-Side "In Your Memory" and your a DM fan go find it… it's good.
"The beat was created using Europa's Internal mode (not synced to MIDI clock or using outside sequencers). An Ensoniq ASR-10 was providing the drum samples in this case. The Europa was also used to sequence the AS Telemark synthesizer at the end of the video and uses the Europa's velocity controls (per step key) to control the Telemark's filter (velocity to filter). At the end of the vid, Europa is put into External clock mode and synced to MIDI clock (DAW sequencer). At this point, Europa will start/stop when the computer sequencer starts/stops. Europa also is sending sync to the AS Oberkorn MK3 sequencer, which is controlling the SE ObieRack." – rezfilter

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone/Downes-O'Neill in Chicago, Ill.
Class III finished on a weaker note yesterday on improved volume from Tuesday's anemic session with over 1,280 contracts trading hands. While the day started off on a high note with prices rallying in pre-spot morning trade, the declining block and barrels prices in the spot session quickly sent futures into negative territory. The spot session saw six blocks trade with prices settling down 1.25 cents to $2.11, leaving two offers uncovered. Meanwhile, barrels also dipped ¼ cent to $2.10 on two trades with no bids or offers left. This was the first barrel price decline since June 17.
Many in the market had been suggesting that the declines in the blocks were due, and when they would come it would be fast and vicious. It hasn't been. This is the third straight day of declining prices without a massive spot sell-off and that may speak to less of better-than-expected support here in Chicago. It's still too early to say for sure, as there is often a weakening of a dam wall before a collapse.
Right now, it seems that the dairy world is split between two camps. The bulls are saying that while blocks are falling, and may very well continue falling, the market has priced in cheese falling to the low 1.80's. Are blocks going to tumble 30 cents? And if they do, it's priced in. In other words, we have a cheese price correction already dialed into futures.
The other camp is calling an end to the Class III rally for the balance of the year due, in part, to increasing demand deterioration and adequate milk supplies. Which camp are we in? We are of the opinion that the futures are not wrong and that the risk is to the downside. The real question is how much and for how long?
We look for Class III to open mixed this morning.
Old-crop corn got clobbered Wednesday with July losing 31.75 cents to settle at 648.75, while December only lost 4 cents. Beans fared better with July, losing only 1.25 cents to settle at 1331, while November finished ½ cent higher to 1318.50. The Chinese interest rate increases, rally in the dollar and a continuation of the near-perfect weather across much of the grain belt all helped to push grains lower.
The big factor here is China. Anything that may slow down Chinese consumption is going to cause concern in the grain markets, for Chinese purchases have been priced in. If the rubber ever hits the road on the rate cuts (which is a matter of debate because they peg the Yuan to the U.S. dollar) causing a slowdown in China's economy (growing at almost 10%), we can expect further, material declines in the grain prices across the board. There's a lot of moving parts here, but if I know one thing: a "soft-landing" is rarely in cards.
We look for corn to open slightly mixed and for beans to open 1 to 3 higher.

First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
Goddammit all. Not sure why I thought he played for the Cavs.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
Good bye Monta
Real GM
@MisterRudolph: League sources have told me a Dwight Howard trade is not coming. Magic on the verge of blockbuster deal.
@MisterRudolph: I will say this, if I was forced to pick a team the Magic deal w/ I'd put my money on the Warriors. That would be where I'd expect a deal
@SeanDeveney: Pacers are among the teams that have asked about Bobcats' DJ Augustin.
@SeanDeveney: If Bobcats deal DJ Augustin, source says they'd need to dump a bad contract with him: Maggette or Diop. Ty Thomas' contract is untradeable.
I think is probably Monta and Lee for Anderson+Hedo+Nelson+picks or something like that.
Now NO is in the deal, Okafor or Kaman to GS?
@MisterRudolph: Sources say Magic, Warriors & Hornets are discussing 3-team deal that would send Ellis and others to Magic. Nothing imminent at this point
@MisterRudolph: Magic players said to be discussed: Redick, Q.Richardson, Turkoglu, Anderson and Orton. Hornets believed to be unloading Kaman in the deal
I got really excited for the first tweet I love DJ's game. But no way I trade for him and a bad contract(unless they give us their pick which is not going to happen) because we will have to pat DJ this off season. But I would really like the combo of DJ starting and DC off the bench the pg position would be a hell of a lot better but not for that price,
I still say wait for the draft and make trades then.
@MisterRudolph: Nothing is imminent, but discussion are said to be ongoing.
@MisterRudolph: Discussed deal would send Ellis, Dorell Wright and Andris Biedrins to the Magic, sources said.
Man I would love to get that package for Monta Ellis, if we only had cap space to make the deal work .....
@MisterRudolph: For the record, I agree w/ any Nets fans that believe that this could be a play to get the Nets to up their offer for Dwight, absolutely
@MisterRudolph: It can also be a lot of talk to make Dwight think more is being done to improve the team. But it's clear teams are going all-in
@MisterRudolph: Remember, a deal isn't a deal until it's done. We'll all have to wait and see.
I don't know if you are being sarcastic here....but capspace isn't what the Warriors are looking for when moving Monta.....they are not only looking to move Monta...but get a Starting Quality Center.
Realistically, Monta+Dorell makes some sense. Dorell doesn't fit in with Mark Jackson's offense. If anything...I'd love to get Dorell Wright...but I don't know if we run the type of offense that fits his style. He gives you the defense and 3pt shooting...but isn't the 2nd unit scorer that we need.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
I kept wondering where this thread was, lol, its hidden. Well done.
Yeah I was trying to be sarcastic, I'm just saying that if you look at Orlando's package all they are sending to GS and NO is crap, I'm 100% sure that we can do better than that.
We could get Monta+Biedrins GS gets Kaman+Foster expiring and NO a pick from us, that's better than what Orlando is offering I think.
The Nets literally don't have any other assets to give up.
If the hold up is Marshon Brooks....while they are willing to give two future 1st round picks and Brooks....they'd be stupid to hold up the deal because of him. If Dwight doesn't come...then DWill is gone.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
I wouldn't mind getting DJ, but there's no way I take Diop and his horrible contract. Maybe maggette. He's definitely overpaid at 10.2 and 10.9 over the next two years, but he at least has some in the tank and is decent offensively.
@sam_amick: I repeat: Don't expect Dwight Howard-obsessed Warriors owner Joe Lacob to help Orlando keep Dwight Howard in any way. That is all.
@YannisHW: Building on what @sam_amick just tweeted, especially don't expect the impossible-to-deal-with Hornets to facilitate anything major where...
@YannisHW: They don't get an incredible return.
@TheRocketGuy: HIGHLY unlikely Monta lands in Orlando to help them keep Dwight.
With Otis Smith, we underestimate the sneakiness!!

Wonder what the rest of the Free World outside of Kentucky is talking about, thinking about, worrying about this week?
It's college basketball, of course, that occupies our every thought and conversation.
Two Italian guys who took far different routes to coach our two major universities' basketball teams are responsible for our current hoops fixation: Rick Pitino, who was first the tamer of Wildcats in Lexington at the University of Kentucky, and John Calipari, who is now in charge at UK, two times removed from Pitino's stay in Big Blue country.
Pitino won a national championship at UK and left enough good players for Tubby Smith to win another.
Enter Pitino once more.
After wandering in the basketball wilderness, he surprised the basketball world when he not only returned to the Commonwealth but at UK's "Little Brother,†the University of Louisville.
Here's the bottom line: Pitino almost didn't leave UK at all. And why did he leave?
The first story I told in my book covered the circumstances exactly how and why Rick left. To this day, no one else has reported what I am about to tell you. I had several friends in Pitino's Memorial Coliseum office tell me exactly what happened.
Pitino left Lexington for two reasons: Joanne, his wife, would be happier returning to the East Coast to live. And Jim O'Brien, his top assistant at UK, would accompany him to Boston to help him coach the Celtics. Rick could pay O'Brien enough money ($450,000 a year) to provide lifetime care for his mentally-challenged son.
Would Pitino leave?
Back to Pitino's office: His friends didn't know if the coach would open his office door and go to where the TV, radio and sportswriters were gathered to report on Pitino's leaving (or staying).
Finally, Pitino turned the doorknob and made the announcement that forever changed the history of basketball not only at UK but several years later also at UofL.
When Pitino decided to leave Boston, he became the hottest coaching prospect at several schools. He chose the University of Michigan.
But UofL – and Joanne – entered the picture. She asked Rick several questions.
'Have you seen the Michigan campus?â€
"Do you have any friends there?â€
"You love Kentucky, you love Louisville and you have many friends there. Tom Jurich (UofL's director of athletics) has been great to you. Why don't you take the Louisville job?â€
That did it for Pitino. He called the Michigan AD and then Jurich.
Said Pitino: "When I was at UK, I played most of my golf at Valhalla. My Louisville friends and I would eat in Louisville restaurants.â€
And Pitino loved Thoroughbred racing, the Kentucky Derby and Churchill Downs. It's no surprise that he became a horse owner.
Old Rivalry
The Cats and Cards first played each other in 1913 at Buell Armory, the ROTC gym on the Lexington campus.
This Saturday's game is a big deal for a variety of reasons, the least of which is that UK refused to play UofL in the early years because it didn't consider the Louisville university's teams strong enough to be competitive with UK. The teams played nine times from 1913 to 1922 and UK won seven times.
For five of the next six years the teams met only in NCAA Tournament games. The teams started playing regularly in 1984.
Kentucky leads the series 29-15.
Former Courier-Journal sports columnist Billy Reed, now an executive in residence at Georgetown (Ky.) College, was a major forde in getting the two teams to play on a yearly basis. Reed kept a UK-UofL rivalry on the front burner until finally some politicians started pressing the issue and more or less forced our two major universities to play each other once each year in both football and basketball.
UK Favored
Now both Pitino and UK's John Calipari are master coaches who have their teams just two games away from the national championship.
Calipari's UK team, rated No. 1 in America, and Pitino's UofL team, will clash in Saturday's semifinal in New Orleans to see which team will challenge the Ohio State-Kansas winner for the national championship.
Few basketball experts will favor Pitino and UofL, but in perhaps his finest coaching job ever, Pitino has the Cardinals peaking at just the right time.

'Under Golisano, the success story of the Buffalo Sabres is still flourishing, yet floundering. They are flourishing in the fact that the club is still young and exciting. They are floundering that — being a small market team — they can only spend so much in order to turn a profit with every oncoming season. Already burdened with a bunch of salaries from last season's record amount of players that could have filed for arbitration ($29.3 million split amongst 13 players), the team has dug themselves a hole in order to improve off of last year's team.'

In March 2011, LEGOLAND California is introducing an all-new, dedicated STAR WARS Miniland area for the very first time. Guests can enjoy seven of the most famous scenes from the six live-action Star Wars movies, as well as a scene from the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars all made out of 1.5 million LEGO bricks built in 1:20 scale. Guests will be further immersed into the Star Wars experience as they pose with life-size LEGO models of Chewbacca, R2-D2 and Darth Vader.
Following a chronological path through the Star Wars timeline, LEGOLAND guests retrace the major events of the beloved Saga. Some of the 2,000 LEGO models will be more than 6-feet-tall. Interactive buttons will allow children to activate animations throughout the scenes.
LEGO scenes will include:
* Episode I: Naboo
Naboo is one of the most geographically varied planets in the STAR WARS galaxy. This scene depicts the Battle of Naboo and the capital Theed both the Royal Palace and the hangar. The duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn and Sith apprentice Darth Maul can also be viewed in this scene.
* Episode II: GeonosisIn this scene, visitors have a fantastic view of the Arena of Geonosis, in which Padmé Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker battle ferocious creatures. Figures such as Poggle the Lesser, Jango Fett and Count Dooku can be seen in the loge. There is also a battle scene of the clash between Count Dookus droid army and the Grand Army of the Republic.
* Episode III: Kashyyyk and Mustafar
In this scene, two planets are shown: Kashyyyk and Mustafar. On one side, guests can marvel at the Battle of Kashyyyk the home of Chewbacca and the Wookiees. The scene includes fantastic vehicles modeled from LEGO bricks, such as the massive Clone Turbo Tank. On the other side, LEGOLAND guests are treated to a glimpse of the fateful duel on Mustafar between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.
* Episode IV: Tatooine
This LEGOLAND scene focuses on famous structures of the desert planet: Uncle Owens Farm, where Luke Skywalker lived as a child; the Cantina, with a view inside of the animated Cantina Band, Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO, R2-D2 and others; as well as the starport with an impressive model of the Millennium Falcon, the famous spacecraft of Han Solo.
* Episode V: Hoth
The Rebels took refuge on this icy planet, but the Empire tracked them down and the Rebels were forced to flee. The scene features LEGO models of the Imperial AT-ATs, Rebel snowspeeders and Luke Skywalkers X-wing starfighter. Figures include Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia and the Dark Lord of the Sith himself, Darth Vader.
* Episode VI: Endor
The Endor system plays a key role in Return of the Jedi as the site of the Battle of Endor, fought to prevent construction of the second Death Star. The scene presents the final victory of the Rebel Alliance over the Empire. Endor is a forest moon and home of the Ewoks, who fight against the Imperial forces alongside the Rebels. Guests can also view a large-scale model of a Lambda-class Imperial shuttle on its landing platform.
* THE CLONE WARS: Christophsis
The seventh area shows a scene from the animated series The Clone Wars on the planet Christophsis. Chronologically, the series takes place between Episode II and Episode III and focuses on the adventures of Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi as Jedi Knights. The LEGO scene depicts part of the planets surface, with the largest of all LEGO Star Wars models: an approximately 8 foot tall building from the Crystal City. There is also a scene showing a battle between Separatist battle droids and Republic clone troopers.

Don't trade significant decrease in child poverty for deficit reduction
Aug 31, 2011
Congress's August break is nearly over. During the next couple of months, the public will hear a lot about the super committee and deficit reduction negotiations. Lawmakers will publicly debate the "merits" of deep program cuts versus ending tax increases for corporations and the wealthiest among us. What should not get lost in these debates is how we protect vulnerable children and families who have been hardest hit by the recent recession and who continue to struggle as the economy limps along.
Over the last couple of years, we've learned that an increasing number of people have had to rely on safety net programs such as food, cash and housing assistance to put food on the table, make ends meet and keep a roof over their heads. These programs not only help families at a time of great need, they also significantly reduce child poverty and hardship, according to a recent report issued by the Urban Institute.
The report uses the Supplemental Poverty Measure, an improved way of measuring poverty that takes into account the role played by taxes and public benefits, and also considers the variations in costs of living in different states.
The study found that programs that provide uniform benefits across states, such as the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), have a higher impact on child poverty in states with lower wages and housing costs. For instance, the impact of these two programs was twice as large in Georgia than it was in Massachusetts, which has a higher cost of living.
Programs, such as TANF and housing assistance, in which benefits vary greatly by state, reduce poverty more for children in states with higher benefit levels. Both TANF and housing assistance provide broader assistance in Massachusetts and, in turn, pulled more children out of poverty there than in Georgia or Illinois where benefits are lower and fewer families received assistance. This is not surprising given that in 2008-2009 Massachusetts provided cash assistance to 41 families for every 100 poor families with children, while Illinois served only nine and Georgia only eight of every 100 poor families.
While the best way to improve the wellbeing of the nation's children is to ensure their parents have jobs with family-sustaining wages, the Urban Institute study demonstrates safety net programs have a profound impact on children. What's more, these programs can only truly support the wellbeing of children if they work together. None of these programs exists in a vacuum. While SNAP is feeding a record number of children and families per year, how effective can it be if, while food is in their bellies, children do not have roofs over their heads or enough money to support their basic needs?
As elected officials engage in back room discussions about reducing the deficit, they should keep in mind the short- and long-term impact of their policies. Reducing the deficit must not come at the expense of child well-being via slashing proven programs that lift children out of poverty.

Taylor Swift is THE WORST. I say this in complete seriousness: if i had a daughter, I would not let her listen to Taylor Swift.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
It's hard to get more irritating than this garbage:
This is going back several years, but one of the worst pop songs ever perpetrated on the radio-listening public was "I Can't Dance" by Genesis. I'd almost be willing to bet it causes seizures.
"I can make all the stadiums rock."

American Forests 2000-2010. The National Register of Big Trees 2000-2008. Washington, DC: American Forests.
The big tree register is now (2010.11.29) available online: click HERE and download the PDF file.
I've said this elsewhere on the site, but here's the disclaimer: the American Forests big tree list is biased and contains numerous errors. The bias stems from the way that they measure big trees, which is to sum the tree's circumference in inches, its height in feet, and the average crown diameter in feet. Trees with multiple stems are included as long as the stems unite above ground, and if the stems unite below breast height, then diameter is measured as the smallest diameter measurable below breast height. Thus a tree is likely to win the title of "big tree" if it has multiple stems that join just above ground level, and at least some of the stems lean far outwards, producing a large crown diameter. The "big tree" list thus contains a disproportionate number of multiple-stem trees, with trees having much larger single stems commonly being passed over. Second, as I mentioned, the list contains numerous errors. Examples include misidentifications (much more common among hardwoods than conifers), and sometimes wildly overestimated tree heights. This list also uses an antiquated taxonomy that hasn't been revised since at least the 1970s. However, the "big tree" list still is useful because it gives an idea of the approximate maximum sizes that can be attained by these trees. With time, perhaps the biases and the errors can be reduced, and the list can become a more accurate inventory of the largest known American trees.

When Max Richard Zapf emigrated from Germany to Brazil in 1913, he had been a member for five years and became the first known Church member in Brazil. After a Brazilian family requested materials from Church headquarters, the mission president of the South American Mission visited Brazil in 1927 and sent missionaries in 1928. The first mission was created in São Paulo in 1935, and by 1939 the Book of Mormon had been published in Portuguese.
The first temple in South America was dedicated in São Paulo in 1978, shortly after the revelation on the priesthood extended the priesthood to all worthy males. The Church's second-largest missionary training center, located in São Paulo, was dedicated in 1997.
Brazil was the third country (following the United States and Mexico) to reach one million members.

Why Sing?
Singing hymns can invite the Spirit into our Church meetings, our homes, and our everyday lives. President J. Reuben Clark Jr. (1871–1961) of the First Presidency taught, "We get nearer to the Lord through music than perhaps through any other thing except prayer." 1
The Church has provided a Web site for accessing the hymns (available in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish). Music.lds.org includes instructions for leading music and for playing hymns using keyboards and also suggestions for choosing appropriate hymns for sacrament meeting.
Music and lyrics can be read, downloaded, or played directly on the Web site, which could be especially useful for members who do not have a piano or keyboard.
Music can be used at home as well as at church. The First Presidency has counseled: "Teach your children to love the hymns. Sing them on the Sabbath, in [family] home evening, during scripture study, at prayer time. Sing as you work, as you play, and as you travel together." 2 Hymns can bring a spirit of love and unity into the home.
Strengthened by a Hymn
Khetiwe Ratsoma, South Africa
I decided to compete in a marathon with work colleagues in Western Cape, South Africa. I trained and worked very hard in preparation for the race.
On the day of the race, I woke up, read my scriptures, and prayed. I was nervous, but I also felt that I needed to trust in the Lord. I knew that if I did, He would provide sustenance and support.
We were required to walk or run 40 kilometers (25 miles). We started at 8:00 a.m. The weather was cool and slightly rainy, so at first I enjoyed the walk and was doing well. But when I was about 10 kilometers from the finish line, the race became very hard for me. I had muscle pulls in one leg, and I had some blisters. I wanted to quit. Then I began singing a hymn:
("How Firm a Foundation," Hymns, no. 85)
Over and over the words of the hymn flooded my mind and lifted my feet, and I finished the race in the strength of the Lord's hymn.
This experience taught me that the gospel of Jesus Christ is about endurance. It is like walking or running in a race. We get tired sometimes, rest, and walk again. Heavenly Father does not give up on us no matter how many times we fall; to Him what counts is how many times we stand up and walk again. His gospel is about finishing the race.
Care for the Poor
"Throughout history, the Lord has measured societies and individuals by how well they cared for the poor. He has said:
"'For the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare; yea, I prepared all things, and have given unto the children of men to be agents unto themselves.
"'Therefore, if any man shall take of the abundance which I have made, and impart not his portion, according to the law of my gospel, unto the poor and the needy, he shall, with the wicked, lift up his eyes in hell, being in torment' (D&C 104:17–18; see also D&C 56:16–17).
"Furthermore, He declares, 'In your temporal things you shall be equal, and this not grudgingly, otherwise the abundance of the manifestations of the Spirit shall be withheld' (D&C 70:14; see also D&C 49:20; 78:5–7).
"We control the disposition of our means and resources, but we account to God for this stewardship over earthly things. It is gratifying to witness your generosity as you contribute to fast offerings and humanitarian projects. Over the years, the suffering of millions has been alleviated, and countless others have been enabled to help themselves through the generosity of the Saints. Nevertheless, as we pursue the cause of Zion, each of us should prayerfully consider whether we are doing what we should and all that we should in the Lord's eyes with respect to the poor and the needy."
Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, "Come to Zion," Liahona and Ensign, Nov. 2008, 39.

Entrapment Puzzles include a variety of brain teaser designs and styles; their common thread is that they all involve freeing something by solving that puzzle's particular enigma. Whether you're guiding a marble through a maze to open a money puzzle, trying to free a wine bottle from a seemingly impossible trap, or disassembling a knot of interlocking wood pieces to free the wooden ball inside, there's something waiting for you on the other end of every solution: the spoils of victory.

Lottie is someone who needs an owner with patience. She can be temperament and sassy, but also a lamb. Lottie has a little fur bracelet on her wrist (as seen in photo one.) Please concider Lottie because shes often over looked. To offer me a loving home, please call the nice people at Touched By An Animal/Cats-Are-Purrsons-Too at (773)728-6336, or e-mail them at email@example.com.
CATS-ARE-PURRSONS-TOO helps tossed and found cats find a forever home, or when needed, provides them with lifetime homes.
The 2nd Saturday of each month, you can visit some of our homeable cats at the Pet Supplies Plus in Lincolnwood, IL (7031 N. Lincoln Avenue).
We conduct the initial interview by phone. We then schedule an appointment with the adopter to stop by our sanctuary to meet the available cat(s).
We ask for a donation of half of the cat's medical bill. Since we are a very small rescue organization running with a skeleton crew, the donation has a great impact, as most of our funding is made possible via private donations and adoption donations.
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to Touched By An Animal/Cats-Are-Purrsons-Too.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

Tatyana Kotelyanets is one of Bob's Red Mill's quiet, unsung heroes and we are singing her song here, for you. Before Tatyana moved to Oregon 13 years ago, she lived in Ukraine. Since moving here, she has worked in the Bob's Red Mill production department, running reports, ordering labels and generally making sure the behind-the-scenes details fall into place each day. The first job Tatyana held was in accounting, so it is no wonder that she considers working with numbers to be the best part of her job.
Her favorite whole grain food is Organic High Fiber Cereal, which she likes to top with raisins and flaxseed meal. She likes to spend her free time relaxing (who doesn't?), shopping and visiting with friends. She counts cooking among her hobbies and her favorite dessert is French vanilla ice cream topped with peaches.
Tatyana always has a smile for everyone and quietly goes about her job with diligence and attention to detail. Often it appears as if things happen magically around here, when in fact Tatyana has come and gone stealthily. What would we ever do without her?

This question might be a bit too broad, but then again, worst questions are those never asked.
So, is it better to keep trying to override or repress ill-will, anger and hatred in the mind by repeating voicelessly something like "may all be well, happy and peaceful" or just observe the negative thoughts as long as they arise? Trying to gently repress negative thoughts by repeating someting positive raises another emotion, namely that of hypocricy, leaving an impression of not doing exactly the right thing. The mind seems not to be able to generate genuine good-will at all most of the time, and when it does, it's faint, weak and fades away almost before it can be observed. On the other hand just watching those negative thoughts raise and pass away gets exhausting when a negative thought is constantly getting replaced by another negative one.
These negative thoughts in the mind are aimed at the individual mind itself, the body it's dwelling in as well as other beings around. Most likely the basic problem is not being able to generate metta towards individual itself, thus not being able to generate it towards others either. It doesn't seem to be of any help to know on the rational level that these emotions are no good and produce only misery for both the individual experiencing them and to other people too, especially if acted on. On the other hand right speech and action do help a bit, and more often than not the negative thoughts and emotions do not raise reaction outside the mind. But sometimes they do provoke unskilful actions and speech, hurting others.
A self-help book titled "How To Love Yourself" might be one and easiest option, but maybe they're not the best option to progress on the Path.
Any scriptural references and personal experiences would be much appreciated.

WEBBS Garden Centre in West Hagley is holding its annual 'Donate, Don't Dump Day' for Mary Stevens Hospice.
Customers visiting the Kidderminster Road South store between 10am and 5pm on Thursday June 26 are invited to bring at least one good quality item which is no longer wanted or needed which can then be sold in one of the hospice charity shops.
Items can be dropped off at a collection area in Webbs' car park before they are taken to the Oldswinford based hospice for sorting and delivery to the charity's shops.
Vicki Rowles, head of fundraising at the hospice, said: "The support we receive from Webbs West Hagley every year really is appreciated.
"Activities such as 'don't dump – donate!' days go a long way to help us secure good quality items to stock our shops throughout the region, along with items to recycle.
"It costs in excess of £2.3 million every year to ensure the doors of Mary Stevens Hospice can remain open and without the support of our local community this simply would not be possible."
Executive chairman Ed Webb said: "We are really pleased these hospice donate days have captured people's imagination and are well supported each year."

While the indices managed some positive action today, the market closed weakly again. It certainly wasn't an impressive bounce after the carnage of the last two days.
Overall, it was a very chaotic and difficult week for the market. There was a slight oversold bounce Monday similar to what we saw today. Tuesday rallied further as speculation about the election swirled. Much of the action was illogical and if you were confused by it, you weren't alone.
Many market players were hoping to see a relief rally after the election as market players celebrated the end of that distraction. Instead, the market sold off hard as many were bitterly disappointed that the candidate viewed as more friendly to business lost. But the renewed focus on the fiscal cliff seemed to produce the majority of selling pressure.
I'd really like to tell you that we are close to the end of this poor action but I have no basis for writing that. Yes, the market has pulled back quite a bit already but there is no reason to believe that it won't continue. In fact, given the uncertainty created by the fiscal cliff, the growing issues in Europe and the lousy third-quarter earnings, there are good reasons for the downside momentum to build.
If you are a trend-follower, it doesn't matter anyway. You should be on the sidelines and waiting for the action to improve. The pundits and those clever folks on TV can gain attention by predicting when it turns, but if your goal is to protect your capital and make money, ignore them and wait for the market to prove itself.
The good news is that the trend will eventually shift. It always has and always will. We just need to wait for it and then we'll be able to ride things back up again. Many things in this world change, but the cycle of ups and downs in the stock market never will.
Do something fun this weekend and forget this ugly market for a while. I'll see you on Monday.

How are Injured Players Coming Along?
Thursday, July 14, 2005
If you'd like to pose a Question of the Day to Conrad Brunner, submit it along with your full name and hometown to email@example.com. Brunners opinions are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of Pacers players, coaches or management.
Conrad Brunner
Q. Can you give us an update on how everyone's injuries are coming along? Have any of the guys had any surgeries yet or do they plan to? Also, I know that (Jonathan) Bender is going to play in the summer leagues but do you know how he's looked and felt so far? Is he still kind of tentative or is he going all out, full contact? (From Matt in Indiana)
A. The two most pleasant surprises have been Bender and David Harrison. Though Bender has not been practicing with the Pacers' summer campers this week, he has been working out regularly and the reports the team has received are extremely positive. He presently is scheduled to play in two of the summer league games in Minnesota in order to test both his conditioning and his knee's ability to recover from game stress.
After missing the final month of the regular season and the playoffs due to a minor knee procedure, Harrison did a remarkable job keeping his weight down and reported to rookie camp as slim as he's been since joining the Pacers. He, too, is being brought along at a measured rate. He hasn't been going through the full-speed scrimmages but is expected to get some game action in Minnesota.
Though Danny Granger won't play in Minnesota, it's a preventive measure. He had knee surgery during his senior season at New Mexico and missed just three games before returning, thus he never was able to regain full strength in his leg. The Pacers are playing it safe with Granger because they want him at 100 percent for training camp.

Please don't take it as offense. It's just my personal opinion.

A small point of order. The question is to the 'causes of' not the 'results of'.
Isn't there a depending relationship between seeing the 'causes of' and 'results of' kamma? Can someone see the causes of rebirth without seeing the results of it? Can someone see the results of rebirth without seeing the causes of it?
