New Wash. governor ready for showdown with feds over marijuana
SEATTLE -- Jay Inslee has been the governor-elect for only five days, but he's ready for a showdown with the feds on the state's new marijuana law.
Wednesday, he announced some members of his transition team, and he intends to hit the ground running when he takes office.
, he says almost defiantly, "the voters of Washington have spoken."
"This is not a decision that will jeopardize national security, it is not a decision that will jeopardize national interstate commerce," Inslee said. "It is a local neighborhood decision made in our neighborhoods. We've made it, so now we need the federal government to stand aside and let us move forward."
And if they don't?
"Well, hopefully that's not going to happen. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," he said.

Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
Hopefully we get #6 and #8 this year.
Both are good possibilities.
All I can say about IU football's game last night was that they won, which is more than we can say about last season's opener. Hopefully they can get a road win at UMass next Saturday and make the season a success.
Looks like same old IU football wise - no ability to stop the run and unable to consistently run ourselves (not bad 1st half, but they stuffed us all 2nd half). Plus more Wilson head-scratch calls.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
Yeah...he ran wild on the Hoosiers. Let's temper our NFL expectations.Shakir Bell is running wild on the Hoosiers still can't believe dude didn't get D1 offers. He is so undersized but he is so skilled abd prodcuces his senior year at Warren he ran for more yards than anyone. I hope he gets his shot in the NFL in 2 years he is one tough SOB who knows how to play RB.
...then again, p4e might not be alone on this island. Courtesy of Mel Kiper:
Kiper: I'm going with Shakir Bell, the running back for Indiana State. In fact, he should now officially get the "Darren Sproles comparison" label to start the year, for evaluators. At 5-foot-7½ and about 185 pounds, he's shifty and hard for defenses to find. And if you lose him, he'll explode into the secondary. He tore Indiana apart on Saturday with 24 carries for 194 yards, including a long TD run, and is the kind of smaller-program player who could play -- and well -- for any program in the country. He'll also work inside or out, and flat-out competes. A certain draft pick, his grade is rising on my board.
I'd feel more confident in IU ever getting close to average if:
1) the roster wasn't totally devoid of talent, and
2) if the team had anything resembling a head coach.
Coach Crean gave a long talk to Indiana students at IU Auditorium on Thursday night.

high points:
a freshman is likely to start (reading between the lines, Yogi).
most improved: Zeller, Sheehey, Oladipo.
Hampered by injury: Watford and freshman Hanner Mosquera-Perea.
Lots of praise for Cody. His role will expand and he will not be restricted to operating in the paint this year, because he can do so much more that makes him hard to defend.

The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
Why would Crean worry about expanding the role of the Cavs' rookie?
Well so far recruits that I have heard coming to Hoosier Hysteria include Lyle, Anya and Alexander. Hopefully these guys all see each other and realize that they could be part of continuing something very special together.
Marcus Lee will be there as well, I believe.
God UMass is awful. Roberson might run for 300 yards at this rate. That being said, our run defense is equally as porous. I'm fairly certain they just ran the Annexation of Puerto Rico on us.
I would imagine opposing coaches don't even bother making running plays against us.
RB - "Coach is this play down the middle or to the right"
Coach - "It doesn't really matter, just have fun out there"
RB - "Coach, its Indiana, you know I'll have fun"
Tre Roberson's season looks like it's over. Figures.
With an injury like that who knows if he will ever be what he was going to be. ****ing ********. I am devastated for him
Gunner Kiel plays for Notre Dame, you know the team that just beat you AGAIN today.
Damn shame about Tre, he was having a great season. He will have plenty of time to heal and will get three more years of eligibility so he can still have a great career at IU.
Despite the injury, that was a great game for IU- a dominate road win and already an improvement over last season's win total. The team is getting better folks.

I don't know how much stock I am putting into that game. UMass is absolutely atrocious. Hoover High could drop 30 on the Minutemen. Still, progress is being made. Ball State will actually be a nice test next week. They beat us last year, they got curbstomped by Clemson today...should be a decent barometer for us.
If we couldn't improve from a 1-11 season then we probably should have dismantled the program.
Shame about Roberson.
Still not convinced the team is getting better, less likely to choke for sure. We have to beat all 4 non conference teams or win at least one in the Big Ten for me to say we are better for sure.
Honestly I think we CAN beat Penn State, they are just god awful. Not saying we will but I think we can.
We are better, for sure. We were before we ever played a game. We played an incredible amount of freshman last year. By natural progression and experience alone we are a better team this year. Losing Roberson stings quite a bit, but I have seen progress, even against suspect competition. Like I said a few posts earlier, next week's game will be very interesting. I see we are listed as an early 3.5 point favorite over Ball State.

Farrell meets with Doubront, stresses team focus
BOSTON -- Felix Doubront wants to be a starter, but he didn't do much to help his cause Monday.
Doubront looked lost on the mound during a short-yet-long relief appearance in Boston's 14-1 loss to Toronto, and while manager John Farrell dismissed the idea of Doubront being disinterested or unfocused, Boston's skipper said he's met with the lefty to discuss his appearance.
"Yes, and that's all I'll say about it," Farrell said.
Farrell said he doesn't believe his team as a whole has lost focus in any way, though.
"To say that with a broad brush, no, not at all," Farrell said. "Are there some things that we address internally? Yes, there have been."
Doubront came on in relief of Clay Buchholz and allowed the two runners he inherited to score. He allowed six hits, two walks and six runs of his own over two-thirds of an inning. The Blue Jays squared up balls at-bat after at-bat.
Doubront has made 66 starts for Boston over the last three seasons, including 10 in 2014. He hasn't started since June 20 and has made seven relief appearances since.
The 26-year-old said he'd like to be a starter and feels he's proven himself in that role. He declined to speak with the media after Monday's game.
Prior to Tuesday's game, Farrell spoke more broadly about distractions at this time of year, especially with his team 10 games under .500. and likely moving players before Thursday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline.
"It is important that we all continue to focus as a team. The things that we established a year ago and the things we continue to build -- that can't be jeopardized," Farrell said. "That can't be sacrificed with a so-called distraction taking away from the way we play. That's unacceptable in my mind."
"That's why we take the added steps to keep them abreast of their situation and the situation of us as a team," Farrell continued. "Is it human nature to think about what else may be out there? It is, but we're all professional. And at some point, that focus has got to maintain between the lines."

And I think you might be surprised to learn that Boozer has still managed to score 18.7 pp36 in Chicago with a TS% of .539. Al has averaged 19.3 pp36 with a TS% of .524 in Utah.
Of course, this is ignoring the fact that Boozer played his first season in Utah without Deron and Al has played 30% of his games in Utah with Deron. Boozer provided more volume, more efficiently in those games (18.5 pp36 on .560 TS% vs. 17.7 pp36 on .521 TS%).

Jurgen Klopp's side played most of the game with 10 men, but was still able to overcome the top-four chasers thanks to the former Gladbach attacker
Marco Reus scored all three goals to settle the contest, which saw two players, Julian Schieber and Takashi Inui, dismissed by referee Felix Brych.
The Schwarzgelben started the game at breakneck pace, determined to notch an early goal. Within seconds, Reus had teed up Kuba, who screwed an effort high and wide, before the former Borussia Monchengladbach man forced a decent save from Kevin Trapp after being played in by Sven Bender.
Reus should really have finished his chance, but it was not long before he made amends. In the ninth minute, Mario Gotze flicked Ilkay Gundogan's ball into the 23-year-old's path, and he finished superbly to put his side into a deserved lead.
Seconds later, things got a whole lot worse for the visitors. Hummels stepped out of defense and played a lovely through ball to Reus, and the Germany international tucked the ball past Trapp to make it two.
The game had settled down into a rhythm, but the visitors were soon handed a path back into the match. Julian Schieber, handed a rare start thanks to Robert Lewandowski's suspension, picked up two harsh bookings within minutes, and became the second BVB striker to get sent off in as many weeks.
The visitors should have gained a foothold in the contest just before the break. First, Sebastian Rode sent the ball wide after being sent through by Lakic, then Inui sent a shot high and wide from a promising position.
Dortmund began the second half on the front foot, with Gotze darting inside from the left wing and firing wide, when he perhaps should have squared threaded a ball through to Reus.
BVB's set pieces were causing Frankfurt all sorts of problems, and one almost led to a goal when Neven Subotic blasted the ball goalwards after the visitors failed to clear their lines, only for the ball to strike Anderson Bamba and hit the bar.
Lakic missed another chance to give his side a path back into the match, volleying wide after good work from Olivier Occean, and it was to prove costly. Gundogan fed Gotze brilliantly, and the Germany international held the ball up well to tee up Reus, who completed his hat trick from short range.
Things went from bad to worse for the visitors soon after when Inui received his second booking, and, with the contest long over, BVB coasted to victory.

Tony Soprano, Ojibwe Poetry, and "Technicians of the Sacred"
We do talk about big ideas at work. But we also talk about what TV shows we are catching up on. I happen to be watching the final season of The Sopranos on DVD. I will not include a spoiler here. But I will mention a minor but significant plot element that occurrs in one episode — an Ojibwe poem I first read in the break-through anthology Technicians of the Sacred years ago. Here it is, in one of its many variant forms:
Sometimes I
I go about pitying
While I am carried by the wind
Across the sky.
Seeing this poem turn up on TV was like bumping into an old friend in an unexpected place after many years. Watching the haunting impact it had on Tony Sorprano reminded me of my first reading of it, which might be something like: "Get over yourself. Life is changeable and various."
But I actually learned something from Tony Soprano's take on it, which I would characterize as slightly different — and oddly even more positive — than mine: "Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Life is a long, wonderful journey."
Technicians of the Sacred changed how many writers thought about literature and poetry in the 1970s. It's gratifying to see that it is still being carried by the wind across the sky.

Peralta ties club's relief appearance record
ST. PETERSBURG -- Joel Peralta tied the Rays' all-time relief appearance record in Friday night's series opener against the Red Sox, making the jog out from the bullpen for the 250th time in a Tampa Bay uniform.
Peralta tied Dan Wheeler's club record, pitching a 1-2-3 eighth inning against the heart of the Boston order -- Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz and Mike Napoli. In his career with the Rays, Peralta has faced three-, four- and five-hitters more than any section of opponents' lineups, and he has held them to a .180 average (55-for-306).
"Well, he's very durable, reliable … good," manager Joe Maddon said. "To be able to put that many appearances in in that short period of time speaks to his durability. I actually believe he throws better when you use him more often."
Peralta reached the mark a lot faster than Wheeler, doing in three-plus seasons what Wheeler did in seven. His 250 appearances with the Rays since he joined the team in 2011 lead the Major Leagues over that span.
"He's the guy you're always looking to be careful with to not overuse, but I think when you try to be too careful with him, you don't get the same product," Maddon said.
Peralta has been a workhorse, which Maddon said is his nature, and never a problem, because Peralta knows himself and when he needs to rest.
"That's just who he is," Maddon said. "He tells me when he needs a day. Rarely does he need two days. But he'll tell me when he needs a day, and we try to back off. But he's been very, very reliable.
"And good."

"I'm like the Bo Jackson of Rap." That statement could be true when it comes to Oakland, California producer/deejay The World's Freshest—but only if Bo had picked up soccer and golf as well. In an era where rapping in your own self-produced YouTube video equates to being multi-talented, the man formerly known as DJ Fresh is a legitimate jack of all trades. From his days on tour being behind the turntables for Nas, to his more recent days being behind the switchboard, his creativity has never waned, and neither has his love for Hip Hop.
Why would it? Hip Hop has turned from a regional narrative to a global one. These days Hip Hop sells everything from clothes, shoes, and motor oil to making the sitting POTUS accessible to the community that ushered him into the White House while chanting, "My president is black, my lambo is blue." It's become a phenomenon, but The World's Freshest is interwoven at its roots.
What, with a deejay as a father and a mother that kept that '80s Soul music shooting out of the speakers, Fresh has had a groove built in him from the jump. Their musical influences have been evident his whole career, and his newest project Freddie Gibbs & The World's Freshest: The Tonite Show is no exception. Here, The World's Freshest discussed working with Gangsta Gibbs, his early days with Mistah F.A.B., and his thoughts on the current state of West Coast Hip Hop.
The World's Freshest Reveals Origins For "The Tonite Show" Series
HipHopDX: Now you've worn a lot of different hats throughout your career. How would you compare all of those worlds, and how do you think they all influenced you to where you're at today?
The World's Freshest: I would compare those worlds to just… In this game you cant just do one thing. And being from the Bay Area, one of the innovators of doing independent music, it was something that I just naturally adapted to. I had interest in all these different walks of Hip Hop, and I just got good at 'em. I'm just trying to advance my career, just having the attitude of not putting all your eggs in one basket too, and here I am today. I'm like the Bo Jackson of the Rap game, I can do more than one thing.
DX: You put in work in the hip-hop DVD game with Mistah F.A.B. and the major success of The Freestyle King DVD. How did your video editing days influence how you construct albums/mixtapes?
The World's Freshest: The video editing came from back in the day when having the DVDs was like the big thing. Everybody was working on DVDs. You had the SMACK DVDs and all the little hood DVDs that were circulating and stuff, and I was on a lot of montage videos with my instrumentals and beats 'cause I wasn't working with any rappers. I was just taking and recording everything you would see…like people walking down the street, and I would just put it with my beats. It had this thing to it that I just liked. Video editing is still is so tedious, but it was even more tedious back then. It took so long, and a one minute clip could take a damn week as far as the rendering and all that. But when I hooked up with Mistah F.A.B., he had all these video tapes of footage, and he needed somebody to edit it. And I was well like, "I'll tell you what, I'll do it. I'll edit it all together." I wanted to do video editing, and I was into it.
So I was like, "I'll do this for you, and we'll do like The Tonite Show basically." I didn't know I was gonna call it The Tonite Show, it was just like, "You do this and I'll do that." So we kind of like scratched each others back, and that was the Freestyle King DVD that I did and that was also the birth of the first Tonite Show CD that we did together.
Why The World's Freshest Doesn't Shy Away From A Signature Sound
DX: Speaking of mixtapes, how do you feel about where the mixtape game is heading? They're pretty much mini albums being given away for free these days with their own production, compared to back in the day with deejays working with an artist over previously released songs and production.
The World's Freshest: You know I always knew that was gonna happen. I think it's good and it's bad in a sense. It's one of the reasons there's so much good music that comes out, but gets overlooked because it's become the norm to the consumer. Like if I have a project and it has Jay Z, Nas, 2 Chainz, Nicki Minaj, J Stalin, Mistah F.A.B., E-40, and I got them all on my new project, back in the day it was like, "Oh man, that's critically acclaimed. That's crazy! How'd you do that?" But now it'll get looked at, but then a couple days later it's like, "What else you got?" So to the consumer it's crazy. But to the producer and to the artists, I think it's great because it kind of forces us all to get off our damn high horse, and we gotta work together.
The fans know when something's real, authentic and genuine. And they know when something's thrown together just to make a quick buck. The consumer knows. They might not know the business transaction that happened to make a project happen, but they just know when something is real. Are you really talking about it on your social media, are you really pushing it? It's like they know, and you can't fool the audience like a lot of artists were able to fool the audience back in the day. Not that I'm trying to fool anybody, I'm just saying for example back in the day, you could do a project with a major major artist and that major artist would never promote it. But it still would go ghetto gold just because of the artist's name. Now if the campaign isn't there for a project, it's not going to work. It's just not going to work. It's only a waste of time.
DX: How did you get so comfortable being able to produce music with such different sounds?
The World's Freshest: It's mainly just because of my background. I'm originally from the East Coast, so that's more of my sample influence side. My laid-back Jazz sample-ish stuff comes from being on the East Coast—from being in Baltimore, New York all that kind of stuff. But my more hard hitting 808 baselines and synthesizers, that comes from me having the West Coast in me. So I'm influenced by both worlds, and they just kind of crash in the middle. I'm not really the hit producer to give you that one hit you need to put you over the top. I'm more of a whole body of work, project, EP producer where I want to take the listener on a journey. If you wanna drive Highway 5 from the Bay to L.A. and take a long drive or just let it play, that's more of the producer I am. I'm more of a feel producer.
DX: Now from the Yukmouth album you had samples from Al B. Sure! and T La Rock, which are on pretty opposite sides of the spectrum. When you're producing, what draws you towards a specific sample or sound?
The World's Freshest: Man, I naturally just go sample stuff that my mom and dad used to play in the car. I was born in '81, so I'm an '80s baby. So during the '80s and '90s when I was a kid, teenager or whatever, my mom would be playing Anita Baker and that kind of stuff. It was that '80s Soul, Contemporary Jazz and all that. My father was a DJ and my mom—well she didn't do music—but she had a bunch of records, so music was always in my family. I really didn't have a choice. I was born into it. So that's my influence when I sit down and make those types of beats. People have grown to know that as my signature sound, like, "Oh, he makes that '80s stuff," and I'm OK with that. You know a lot of producers want to shy away from having a signature sound and be like, "I can make anything," and I could, but I love having a signature sound. I'm cool with that.
World's Freshest On Freddie Gibbs Work & DJ Mustard vs. Mistah F.A.B
DX: With your latest The Tonite Show album featuring Freddie Gibbs, my personal favorite track was "Keep It Gangsta." I loved the sax sample and just the overall groove of that record. What was the inspiration for that record and how did it come about?
The World's Freshest: That's actually my favorite track on there too. That beat initially, I put out this instrumental series called Make The Song Cry, and that beat was originally on Make The Song Cry Part 4 I believe. I was with [Freddie] Gibbs in the studio one day, and again, I get artists on the beats I want them to get on, and I want them to like it too. He liked the beat, and he learned the beat or whatever. Once he did his verse, I had it just on my hard drive for a while. It took us like a good year to finish the whole thing, 'cause I was still living in the Bay. I don't like emailing beats to people, and I'd rather be in the studio with them. If I have to email them 'cause I'm on tour or something, then yeah I will. But I'd rather be in the studio with them because it'll make the music more meaningful, and it'll make it better. Emailing just takes the soul out of it, but that's just for me.
So he did his part, then I went back to the Bay and almost a year later I was doing an EP with this saxaphone player, Saxxy Soul, and I just had him play sax on the hook. And it was just this sexy yet street vibe to the whole song. He was saying, "Keep it gangsta," but it had this saxaphone on there. Like if we did a video for that we'd prolly have to wear some zoot suits or something [laughs]. But it worked. I think it sounds hella fresh, because you don't really hear saxaphone a lot these days in no raps.
DX: What are the differences, if any, working with Freddie who lives in L.A., compared to working with artists from the Bay?
The World's Freshest: Honestly with Freddie, it's the way he raps. I mean, he has a tattoo of Huey Newton on his back. He's influenced by black movements and all that, and Oakland is a very black place; it's a very multicultural place as well, but it's the start of a lot of revolutionary stuff. So honestly, I wouldn't say it was that much different working with him and working with someone like say, J Stalin. When [Freddie Gibbs] comes to the Bay, he comes and messes with all the Bay Area people, and the Bay shows him love. The Bay is kind of like Detroit; it's kind of a no fly zone. Can't everybody just come to the Bay, do their thing and mess with the people. It's a respect thing, so working with Freddie was cool, man. He's on point with his raps, he's sharp, and that's why he's so successful. He's a real gasser…he gasses for real. His breath control is crazy. He's not doing no punch-ins—not that there's anything wrong with punch-ins—but to do a whole 12 or 16 bars of rapid words and not have to do a punch-in and still have it sound cool is pretty impressive. But yeah, working with Freddie was a good look.
DX: Speaking of those two different areas of Cali, how do you feel about all of the music coming out of the West Coast right now?
The World's Freshest: It's fresh, man. It's dope to have fire like that on the West Coast. It hasn't really been like that since the Dr. Dre era. I'm not talking about the Death Row days, I'm talking about post-Death Row, because Dre's sound was dominating for a while when he had 50 Cent, Eminem, and Game. They were all pretty active. But I would say it was more so Dre's sound, cause 50 was from New York, and Young Buck was from Nashville, Tennessee. So it was like the West Coast sound, but it wasn't all West Coast-based artists.
But now, there's hella new West Coast artists that's killing it. Iamsu! killing it, and of course DJ Mustard killing it. He's one of the number one producers if not number one right now. I think he's got like nine or 10 songs on the Billboard charts. Even though I know they say Mustard stole the Bay sound, and I kind of at first was feeling that way, but now I don't feel like he deliberately woke up and said, "I'm about to steal these Bay Area beats." I just think that being on the West Coast, we all kind of like the same sound, because in the '90s, the Bay and the rest of the world was taking the L.A. sound. It was that Ohio Players, Funk type sound… that Zapp & Roger, we were all stealing that sound.
In Rap, we all just steal from each other. New York kind of sounds like the South right now. And there was a point where everybody was sampling like New York. We all just steal from each other. But to answer your question, it feels good to have so much light on the West Coast right now. I love it.
DX: You mentioned DJ Mustard, you probably heard about that incident with Mistah F.A.B, what was your take on that?
The World's Freshest: Man, I think F.A.B is one of the Bay Area posterboys. I feel what he was saying. I just think that like, if he was really trying to resolve something, it's just probably going to be hard to resolve anything in a club where there's niggas, bitches, alcohol and drugs. The atmosphere just ain't right to try to really have a conversation and come to a means. But I'm glad nobody really got hurt or killed, 'cause in Rap, niggas get killed. So I'm glad it was just a little scuffle…a few hands being thrown. I just hope it don't turn into nothing else. I hope that it stops right there and it don't go no further. I got much love for F.A.B. I don't know Mustard, so I won't say anything on his behalf. But we all gotta run into each other someday. There used to be six degrees of separation, but now with the Internet, it's like two degrees of separation, really.
The World's Freshest Criticizes Raps' Slave Owner Mentality
DX: What would you say was the most memorable experience you've had from your career in Hip Hop?
The World's Freshest: You know what? I actually had one recently. It's not that much, but shit it was the biggest I ever had. I picked up a check in the beginning of 2013 for $60,000 [laughs], and that was probably one of the most memorable points for me in Rap. That's business wise, but opportunity wise? Deejaying for Nas of course. That's one of the greats. It was before the Internet, as crazy as that sounds to say, "Before the Internet," got me sounding old [laughs]. That was before the Internet was really the Internet, and the fans were more excited to see Hip Hop. I mean, before you had to go to Hip Hop. But now, it just forces its way into everybody's lives, because it's a multibillion dollar industry. It's being forced on everybody. Love And Hip Hop: Atlanta and all that…it's being forced. Because back then you didn't see Hip Hop all the time, so when you come to a show with somebody like Nas, the people were so excited and so energetic and just so crazy.
DX: Yeah, it seems moments like these now so easily accessible that people who don't even care about the music are there.
The World's Freshest: Yeah, it's not a big deal anymore. Another thing too that I want to add about Rap—is that with any other genre like Rock and Roll or even Jazz—the fans of those types of music appreciate and respect the elders of those genres a lot more. Like if you enjoy Jazz or you're a Jazz player right now, you're going to praise somebody like Miles Davis or you're gonna praise somebody like Duke Ellington. You're probably gonna know his songs, you're gonna be influenced by those types of people because they were before you and they were great. In Rock 'N Roll, people are gonna praise The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and all those types of people. But in Rap music, it's not like that. The youngsters today, they don't give a damn about no Run DMC. They don't care about their elders. With Rap it's like in with the new, out with the old. So you have this constant cycle of new artists, and as soon it gets old they get pushed to the wayside. It's a very messed up mentality.
And not to get too deep, but it's kind of like a slave master's mentality. Burn them out, use them for everything they got, get rid of them, and then bring the next rapper in. It's just a trip when you look at it, not to get all political and all that. At the end of the day, I still love the Rap game. I'm able to do what I want everyday. I woke up right now. I'm eating a peach and doing an interview with you. I could have to be working at Walgreens or somewhere, and I'm not saying anything about the people working at Walgreens, but I'm just blessed to be able to do what I want to do at the end of the day.

Crystal Palace's momentous season in the Premier League comes to an end this afternoon at London rivals Fulham.
There are not many who would have predicted the final game would be a run out or little consequence for the Eagles, and Fulham's last appearance in the top flight for... who knows how long?
Testimony to Palace's fine season since the arrival of Tony Pulis is their record against the title challengers at Selhurst Park.
Beating Chelsea and producing one of the best comebacks in Premier League history against Liverpool are surely the highlights.
For much of the season Jason Puncheon has been Palace's main goal threat but it was Dwight Gayle who provided the killer touch against Liverpool.
The young Englishman was introduced to the game with 25 minutes left with his side 3-0 down, and his introduction turned the game on it's head and he took the most shots (three) for his team and netted with two of the them to draw his side level.
Only Puncheon has scored more than Gayle with seven.
Yannick Bolasie showed strong stats throughout the Liverpool game - his EA Sports player performance index shows that the midfielder made a team high of 10 attacking contributions (shots on target, assists, crosses and dribbles). With eight dribbles and one assist he was crucial to the Palace comeback.
Fellow midfielder Joe Ledley was also pulling the strings in midfield making 30 passes, 12 more than second placed Mile Jedinak.

Detailed Description:
Many people with intellectual disability have challenging behaviour which often has serious consequences such as the prescription of long term medication, in-patient admissions and disruption of normal daily activities. Community intellectual disability services may have difficulties in helping people with challenging behavior. Available research suggests that Positive Behavior Support (PBS), a training system that teaches staff how to manage these situations, can benefit service users who may show improvements in challenging behavior and quality of life. The investigators do not know of any study so far that has examined the clinical and cost effectiveness of PBS that is provided by staff in routine clinical practice in community intellectual disability services. If PBS proved to be better than treatment as usual, it would have important implications for the management of a very vulnerable group of service users. In this trial, health staff will receive accredited training in PBS available in a manual written by PBS experts. It will give details of how to understand challenging behavior and develop a management plan and how to implement it and monitor whether it has achieved its goals. Twenty community intellectual disability services and 260 service users with mild to severe intellectual disability and challenging behavior will be invited to take part in the study. The sample size calculations are based on our pilot study and allow for non participation of 10% and inflation due to the number of community intellectual disability teams and staff that will take part. The teams will be randomly allocated into one of two conditions. Half will be in the PBS arm (but will also have treatment as usual) and half will be in the treatment as usual only group. The investigators will carry out assessments of challenging behavior, use of services, quality of life, mental health, aggression and family and paid carer burden at six and 12 months. The investigators will monitor treatment fidelity and the investigators will talk to a sample of paid and family carers, service users, staff and managers about what they think of the treatment and how best the investigators can deliver it in routine care. The main outcome is reduction in challenging behavior at one year after the randomization. The investigators will also carry out a health economic evaluation to examine the costs and consequences of staff training in PBS.

Project Roadblock: Local TV Puts the Brakes on Drunk Driving for Ninth Holiday Season
In advance of the holiday season, TVB (www.tvb.org), the not-for-profit trade association of America's commercial broadcast television industry, and the Ad Council, with support of NHTSA, are partnering to combat drunk driving for the ninth consecutive year through a national public service advertising (PSA) initiative titled, "Project Roadblock: Local TV Puts the Brakes on Drunk Driving." The PSAs highlight the increase in drunk driving related fatalities during the holiday season and the financial consequences of buzzed driving, with the goal of inspiring awareness of the dangers of driving buzzed so as to motivate people to plan ahead and designate a sober driver this holiday season. The initiative features on-air, online and mobile resources of local television broadcasters across the country from December 26th through December 31st 2012.
The 'Roadblock' – a TV industry term referring to multiple stations in a market airing the same ads in the same timeframe – consists of multimedia PSAs designed to inform viewers about the dangers, and financial consequences, of buzzed driving. Last year, for the 2011 Project Roadblock, approximately 1,000 broadcast television stations and digital sub channels donated on-air, online and mobile time and space, and even higher participation is expected this year.
"Local television broadcasters have donated countless hours of media to our Buzzed Driving Prevention campaign. Their generosity for Project Roadblock 2012 will further extend our critical 'buzzed driving is drunk driving' message into homes nationwide during this holiday season," said Peggy Conlon, president and CEO, Ad Council.
Reinforcing the campaign message 'Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving,' Project Roadblock is unveiling new TV PSAs created pro bono by advertising agency Merkley + Partners as part of NHTSA and Ad Council's national buzzed driving prevention campaign. The new spots, "Solitary Confinement" and "Bad Daters," as well as a Spanish translation of "Bar Math," continue to illustrate the financial consequences of 'buzzed' driving—which can cost around $10,000 in fines, legal fees, and increased insurance rates.
All of the PSAs will direct viewers to http://buzzeddriving.adcouncil.org, where they can take the pledge to not drive buzzed, learn the consequences of buzzed driving and create their own video to illustrate the importance of planning ahead and designating a sober driver. Participating stations will utilize a myriad of social networking tools to consistently reinforce the 'don't drink and drive' messages, including through Facebook, YouTube and Twitter via the #BuzzedDriving hash tag.
"By partnering with the Ad Council and NHTSA on this important anti-drunk driving message, local television broadcasters continue to demonstrate their commitment to serve the interests of their local communities as well as their individual viewers. In 2011, Project Roadblock reached 99.8% of US television households with stations in 205 markets contributing an estimated $4.2 million dollars of air time over the six day period between Christmas Day and New Year's Eve and we anticipate even greater reach and results in 2012. There is no more powerful medium to reach individuals and make them aware of issues of urgency than local broadcast television and the TVB is enormously proud of the growing number of local TV broadcasters who are donating air time, online and mobile visibility and inventory for the 2012 Project Roadblockcampaign. In doing so broadcasters are providing the ultimate service to their communities and saving lives," said Steve Lanzano, President and CEO, TVB.
Since 1983 the Ad Council has been partnering with NHTSA on impaired driving campaigns. The iconic campaigns include "Drinking and Driving Can Kill A Friendship," launched in 1983; "Innocent Victims" ('Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk"), launched in 1993; and the current "Buzzed Driving Prevention," launched in December 2005. To date, the campaign has received nearly $400 million in donated media.

August 1, 2009
by Bill "Bilbo" Langer
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."
This quote is from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, which is still one of my favorite books. As a geologist with a special interest in the aggregates industry, I, like hobbit Bilbo Baggins, have spent many a day enjoying the comforts of a hole in the ground. Much of my knowledge about the aggregates industry has been gleaned from studying the faces of gravel pits and the highwalls of quarries. Even lunch "in the pits" is a pleasure, dining on a sandwich and soda while visually exploring the structures in the sediments or rocks from my seat on the bottom of an overturned 5-gallon sample bucket.
But I am not alone in enjoying the comforts of a hole in the ground. All over the world, the exposures in quarries and pits help geologists unravel the mysteries of our planet and how life has evolved. The geologic information mined from quarries and pits contributes to economic development by improving our ability to find new mineral resources, and plays an important role in understanding geologic processes such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flooding, and landslides. And let us not forget the important role that aggregate operations play in the education of the budding geologists of tomorrow.
Sustainability has given birth to a new word — geodiversity — which is a term used primarily in the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Australia. Geodiversity is the geological equivalent of biodiversity and, in general, means 'the variety of geological features.' Frequently, geodiversity is used to emphasize the importance of geology in our daily lives and to encourage the conservation of areas that display diverse geologic conditions.
The concept of geodiversity and geologic conservation presents a novel opportunity to aggregate operators. As stated above, quarries and pits can be a vital resource for geological education, training, and research. Aggregate operators can present this educational resource to schools and communities so they can discover and understand the world at their doorstep, and to universities and scientific organizations to conduct detailed scientific research.
Geological conservation does not inevitably require preserving features. For example, as quarry excavation advances, one exposure often is replaced by another of comparable interest. Aggregate companies can make a significant contribution to the study of geodiversity simply by allowing and encouraging research and educational visits. This can be accomplished by allowing scientists access to the quarry and by holding quarry tours, constructing self-guided viewing platforms, and providing on-site interpretative material such as information boards, leaflets, and maps for the general public. Interpretive information can describe geology and geologic processes, demonstrate links between geology and quarrying, and show how industry and people use the products from the pit or quarry.
Geodiversity presents a huge opportunity for the aggregates industry to create a better understanding of its work and leave something of lasting value to future generations. What does the industry have to gain? In the words of Tolkien…
"This is the story of how a Baggins had an adventure, and found himself doing and saying things altogether unexpected…He gained — well, you will see whether he gained anything in the end."

Calving pens are typically thought of as the culmination of a dairy's reproduction program, because this is the place dairy producers see results with each newborn calf.
However, calving pen management is actually the start of the reproduction program process and directly impacts the subsequent pregnancy. Therefore, calving pen management success or failure nurtures future reproductive success or failure.

text: The management team here at TSO is proud to announce the return of the "TSO Top Plays of the Week". What once was a staple of the Locker Room has slowly faded into the depths of our archives and will once again serve as a water cooler discussion so that we can awe at the greatness of our users week in and week out. Do you think you have the plays we care about? Here are the guidelines: THE WHAT: A Play of the Week video will be generated every week and will be posted to our Facebook page (via YouTube) and will also be highlighted on the front page of our website. Note: If not enough submissions are made for a week, the submitted videos will be saved for consideration in the following week's video. THE WHO: You, the TSO user. If you have a great play in any game title that we support (ie, Madden, NCAA, FIFA, Tiger, etc...), then you can submit it for consideration. THE HOW: All submissions shall be submitted in a PM to myself, HackGolfer and titled as "Play of the Week Submission". Video submissions must be your own, and can be from a game generated highlight or from your own personal recording device, if you own one. Please also include the following in your message: League Name (if applicable) Opponent name or CPU Play note (ie. chip in eagle for tournament win, 80 yard hail mary from QB Manziel to WR Swope, etc..) THE WHEN: Right now. Submissions for each week will be accepted until Sunday evening for consideration in that week's video. So fire up your Dazzle, Hauppauge or EA Highlight reel and get to work. THE WHY: Because prizes!! If a POTW Facebook/Youtube video receives at least 100 likes, we will enter every featured user of that video into a monthly drawing for free TSO gear. So if your play makes the cut, make sure to tell everyone to go like the video through your social outlets. Your video didn't make the cut or you didn't supply one? Your name can be entered into the monthly/yearly drawing by also marketing the video through your social channels. If every video is successful in exceeding the "likes" quota, we will hold an End of the Year (2013) drawing for a grand prize to later be determined. Note: To be eligible for the monthly or grand prize, you must be a registered and premier member of TSO. Do you have questions? Ask away. Otherwise save those highlights!

Three Internet music services worth checking out
Tara W. has worked for Crutchfield since 2004. She writes about whole-house music and video gear, and works on Crutchfield's video team.
More from Tara W.
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
In addition to storing tunes on my computer, I also use my computer to play music from Internet services. There are quite a few out there, but what they all have in common is the ability to get you quickly (and inexpensively) into new music that you've never heard before. Below, I'll talk about three of the most popular services currently available.
1. Pandora
This one is my personal favorite and very popular with my co-workers, too. It's a free service with ads or you can pay for an ad-less version. How it works: You choose a song, artist, or album, and Pandora creates an Internet radio station of music with similar qualities. As new songs play, you can "thumbs up" if you like the music, or "thumbs down" if you don't like music and want to move to a different song. As you continue to like and dislike music, Pandora refines the station to your specific musical tastes.
2. Rhapsody
Rhapsody works differently than Pandora, but it's another great way to find new music. For a monthly fee, you can listen to any of Rhapsody's vast collection of over 10 million songs. And they're all available as higher sound-quality files than what's offered on the free version. It's a wonderful way to listen to tons of new music without purchasing individual albums. You can even get a Rhapsody app on an iPhone® or iPod touch®. The big difference with Rhapsody is that you can actually download the tracks you want to your computer, MP3 player, or iPhone. So you don't even have to go to Rhapsody to enjoy Rhapsody songs. And you're allowed unlimited downloads (but you'll want to keep your subscription current or all those songs will be disabled).
3. last.fm
This service also creates radio stations based on your choice of artist or genre. Once you sign up, last.fm tracks your listening history and then makes recommendations for new music and concerts you might enjoy. Similar to Pandora, you can choose to "love" or "ban" a track when it's playing to show your preference for other songs like it. What makes last.fm different is that it has a stronger social media component. When you play a song, last.fm not only adds it to your personal listening history, but it can tell your friends (registered with last.fm) what you're playing as well. There's also a last.fm community site where you can communicate with other music lovers. A cool tidbit: When you're listening to a particular song, last.fm shows information about the band and similar artists.
Around the town
Pandora, Rhapsody, and last.fm are great on your home computer, but they're also available on some cell phones. If you have an iPhone®, AndroidTM, or BlackBerry®, you'll find music service apps for listening on the go. Some car stereos will even let you tap into the music services on your phone so you can listen as you drive.
Around your home
If you want to play newfound music throughout your home, some wireless music players will let you pump tunes to any room and control playback from any room with a remote control. Sonos multi-room music systems are a prime example — their players communicate wirelessly and play music from your computer as well as the services mentioned above.
Whether you're listening through computer speakers or headphones, make sure you get the most from your digital music. My other posts on Getting better sound from your computer and Two ways to amp up headphone listening have some great suggestions to get you started.

U.S. Steel Q2 EPS Beats, Revenue Misses
Shares of United States Steel (X) were climbing nearly 4% after hours, following the company's second-quarter earnings report.
The company swung to a loss of $78 million, or 54 cents a share, well ahead of the 79 cents that analysts expected the company to lose. However, revenue tumbled 11.7% to $4.43 billion, below the consensus of $4.58 billion.
The company said that results at its flat-rolled and tubular unites should improve, but warned a planned blast furnace outage would weigh on its European segment in the third quarter.
It said it expected its other businesses to decrease or stay flat from the second quarter.
The shares are barely in the black for the past year, trailing the broader market.

Just came back from a week of family reunion (in-laws) in Cancun.
Clearly, some people just love the beach, the sun, the salt water, etc. But I HATE it. I think the beach is the most boring thing in the world, plus its waaaay too hot, plus you've always got either lotion or sunburn or sunscreen or something all over you. Plus sand everywhere, you can't ever wash it all off. Granted, there is a lot of eye candy around, but there's also a lot of really ugly overweight people in skimpy outfits (I won't mention which category I fall into...). The food's great, as long as you avoid the american chains - but then you have to worry about germs and diareahha (SP?).
All things considered, I'd rather just stay home and rent some movies.

DANNY Ings is still being talked about as a January transfer target for Premier League teams.
In my opinion, they are wasting their time.
Danny looks happy and gives the impression he is enjoying his football at Turf Moor, and there is so much he can achieve if he stays here this season.
I think he will. And by the end of it hopefully he will have fired us to another promotion.
In the process he has every chance of taking my top scorer crown.
He is just 13 away of matching my record league tally of 29, and I'm sure he can do that and go beyond.
If and when he does, I will be the first to congratulate him.
He is a modest young man and one of those professionals who listens to your advice.
He would fully deserve to achieve it, and I hope that he would get the recognition that I never did when I beat Ray Pointer's record in 1966.
Bob Lord was the chairman at the time, and Harry Potts the manager.
Harry said to me "Well done Willie!", and that was it really.
Not that I wanted to receive any special acknowledgement – I was just doing my job and that was to score goals – but now it would be nice to have something to look back on and say 'I did that'.
In recent years the chairman of one of the supporters' clubs gave me a trophy, and I am grateful for that.
It is 48 years since that record-breaking season and only a few people have come close to it since.
At one stage last season Charlie Austin looked like he might do it, but then he got injured and then after he came back had his season cut short through appendicitis and finished up with 25 league goals.
'Padiham Predator' Andy Payton was another one. He scored an unbelievable amount of goals but never quite got there. But he was a tremendous striker and proved that everywhere he went.
I think this year could be the year for Danny.
Without wishing to come across big-headed but in some ways he reminds me of myself, closing people down and working with a big fellow up the middle with Sam Vokes knocking defenders around like Andy Lochhead used to do for me, and I'd pick the crumbs up.
The big difference is I didn't score from 25-30 yards.
Most of mine were all in the box - real poacher's goals.
Aside from scoring, Danny is blessed with a number of other assets. He has a turn of pace and can change gear very easily, and he reads the game very well.
I'm very confident that he will break that record.
It's been a long time coming.

Because this is back-to-school time, most of the furniture sold in August and September is sort of disposable… you know what I meant, right? Even Kendall (I'm embarassed to say) had to make an emergency trip to Ikea to pick up a portable bookshelf for his dorm room.
Most people just assume that the furniture they buy is going to be on the curbside in 5-10 years. It's part of the "planned obsolescence" strategy which ensures furniture stores that future sales will be strong.
So why, at Vermont Woods Studios are we selling heirloom quality, fine furniture that's backed by a lifetime guarantee? It probably seems foolish to many.
But quite honestly, here's the reason why: Heather's taken three orders today from repeat customers who love their Vermont made furniture. It's the real thing and there's nothing quite like it.
In an age when few things last for decades (let alone generations) we're proud to be selling Vermont made furniture and it seems only fair to back up our promise of quality with a lifetime guarantee.
If a lifetime guarantee on fine furniture is important to you, how 'bout letting us know on our Facebook?

The Week Ahead: A Veritable Roller Coaster
If I were to submit to a Rorschach test that had me looking at last week's charts for the major U.S. indices -- the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite -- my response would be "roller coaster." That's before this Friday's deadline for congressional budget sequestration.
Tracing the ride taken by the indices last week, stocks climbed into the middle of the week, only to drop late Wednesday following the release of the most recent Federal Reserve minutes from the latest Federal Open Market Committee meeting. That late-session drop continued through Thursday, but the market proceeded to rebound Friday. Despite the gyrations, the Dow and the S&P 500 were little changed, even though the Nasdaq dipped 1% for the week. I attribute that fall-off more to last week's decline in Apple (AAPL) shares....776 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Perfume for Women
Product results for "Perfume for Women"
Women's Perfume & Fragrances
Scent helps to set you apart from the crowd and sends a message. CVS can help you find the perfect perfume to suit your tastes. Our online and in-store inventory includes hundreds of affordably-priced perfume and fragrance options for women from top brands.
When you are comparing fragrances, you'll find that there are three main formulations to consider: eau de cologne, eau de toilette and eau de parfum. Some brands offer a single fragrance in two or three concentrations. Others only make their perfumes in one form.
An eau de cologne has the lowest concentration of fragrance for a light scent that lasts for a short period of time. Eau de toilette is slightly more concentrated, which makes it more noticeable and long-lived. Eau de parfum perfumes are the strongest options and linger for the longest period of time.
Gift sets make excellent presents and often contain skin care products with a matching scent. Travel size bottles let you try out a new fragrance or pack a favorite perfume in your carry-on. The menu on the left also allows you to shop by type, so you can quickly find spray, roll-on, stick, oil, powder or liquid perfume.

Heidi Montag's Plastic Surgery Choices
With the impending final season of The Hills airing next week on MTV, many eyes have been on star Heidi Montag. As a plastic surgeon, I wonder from a professional standpoint what was going through her mind when she planned her multiple-surgery escapade. For those who don't remember, Ms. Montag underwent a bunch of enhancements — a rhinoplasty revision, fat injections, chin reduction, breast augmentation revision, and liposuction — at once.
By themselves, the plastic surgeries are not that exciting or worrisome. Nor is the combination of them at the same time. Certainly each of these issues can be legitimate concerns given the right situation. But in Ms. Montag's case the real issue is self confidence and body image dysmorphia.
Now, it's easy to sit back and say, "Why would someone so young and pretty need to have plastic surgery?" Well, those decisions can be complex and I have commented before that it isn't our place to criticize what is important to one person versus another. However, there comes a point as a doctor when you have to sit back and thoroughly examine and assess patient situations like this and ask yourself, "Am I doing this patient a service or a disservice?" and "Are we taking things too far?" or " Is this what I would want done if I were the patient?"
Not to criticize any physician involved in her care, but it brings to light questions such as these. One very telling comment (or lack thereof) can be seen in the interaction between Heidi Montag and her mother in this trailer from The Hills. I almost feel sorry for her and hope that she doesn't progress to the degree of Jocelyn Wildenstein, the "Cat Woman".
So what does one do as a patient or as a physician? Fortunately, these situations do not arise frequently. I think it is smart for doctors to have a good relationship with a mental health professional familiar with patients that suffer from body dysmorphic type syndromes. In addition, it is always prudent to take a step back and really take stock of the surgical plan from not only a patient psych level, but also from a safety standpoint.
On the patient side, make sure you have taken ample time to analyze which concerns are important, which ones can wait, and which ones might need to be discussed again. Also, as usual, find a board-certified Plastic Surgeon that can provide you the best care and service.
