Assuming Jackson takes on the 3 spot, and it seems like Sarunas and AJ on the floor at the same time has been working well, what exactly do we need on this team? We have 4 centers, 2/3 good PF's, 2 good SF's, 1 good shooting guard and 1 decent shooting guard, and 3 good point guards...I really don't know what we need, can we trade him for draft picks?

Other Name: SLC17A8 et POU4F3 mutations genes analysis
Detailed Description:
DFNA are characterized as progressive bilateral deafness. To date, 21 genes and 57 loci are involved in these dominant deafness, with an unknown prevalence.A 22nd gene responsible of the disease has been found. This SLC17A8 gene encodes for the VGLUT3 protein which is specifically expressed in sensorial cells of the audition. VGlut3-/- mice present a deep deafness due to a deficiency of neurotransmitter release, although sensorial cells and neurons are intact. This kind of deafness is an ideal candidate for a genetic therapy because of the cells integrity.Mutations of SLC17A8 gene have been found in 2 american families that suffer from progressive deafness.The study aims to look for european families from the Mediterranean basin, which carry SLC17A8 gene mutations, and may benefit in a medium-term from genetic therapy. The study will allow to identify the prevalence of the SLC17A8 gene mutations in patients suffering from deafness. This phenotype also corresponds to DFNA15 deafness caused by POU4F3 : mutations of this gene will be screened as well.

Psalm 89:1-13 One of my favorite hymns is "Great Is Thy Faithfulness." We sang this at my oldest son's wedding. As we sang this song, I thought of how faithful the Lord was in hearing and answering my prayers for wives for my sons. For years I prayed two things for my future daughters-in-law. I prayed they would first love the Lord with all of their heart, and second, they would simply adore my sons. After many years of waiting, I saw all three sons married in a nine-month period of time to the most wonderful young Christian ladies. They are just as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside.
Psalm 89 is about God's faithfulness. He extends, establishes and encircles us with His faithfulness. When we are not faithful, He is faithful. When we look at the word faithful and reverse this syllables, we see "full faith." We have the faith of Jesus who works within us to cause us to have full faith. None of us have this power to remain faithful, except through the Holy Spirit who provides us the abiding presence of Jesus Christ in our hearts.
Yesterday we talked about the substance of faith, which is hope. Jesus Christ is our hope, and more than that He is our very faith. Paul writes in Galatians 2:20, "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me" (KJV).
There is a chorus I love that says, "I walk by faith, every step I take, I walk by faith." Remember we are walking on the sure substance of faith called hope. Some people say, "I don't have enough faith to believe for this miracle (it may be healing, financial provision, a job)." We all need these kinds of miracles in our lives, and often we feel so lacking in faith. The truth is we never lack faith if we have invited Jesus to come and abide in our hearts. Jesus Christ Himself is our faith. He is the faithful One who enables us to remain faithful. Great is His faithfulness, and His great faithfulness is imparted to us by Jesus Christ. If we abide in Jesus and His Word abides in us, God's own character of faithfulness will be formed within us and displayed out of our lives.
Just this week I heard a testimony of a missionary in Sudan who saw her husband and five children killed by Muslim radicals. They cut her throat and left her for dead. She survived. Her picture was passed around our ladies meeting so we could pray for her. As I looked in her face I was awed at the glory of God that shone through her face. She did not look hopeless. She was radiant. Wouldn't you think her first thought would be to leave Sudan immediately and never return? This was not the case. She chose to remain in Sudan to finish the call she and her husband had to this war-torn land. How could she remain? She has the faithful One.

The Week in Quotes
August 13-19
"I understand that when the team isn't playing up to our standards that issues are going to be sensationalized. But what is important for Red Sox fans to know is that ownership, players, and all staff—especially Bobby Valentine—are determined to turn around what has thus far been an unacceptable, failed season. We are all on the same page in that regard and will not waver."
—There has been some buzz about the Rangers calling up Jurickson Profar (as discussed on Episode 20 of Effectively Wild). The 19-year-old is the Texas' top prospect, and may soon have a place as a backup in The Show. Also, he might own the Lakers some day. (Josh Norris, @jnorris427, The Trentonian)
—Now that he's tossed a perfect game, Felix Hernandez has pretty much done it all, except make the playoffs. The Mariners have not been to the postseason since losing to the Yankees in the 2001 ALCS after a magical, 116-win regular season. (Jason Churchill, @ProspectInsider, ESPN/Prospect Insider)
—Angels skipper Mike Scioscia may be losing a few of those pounds as he sweats his way through the stress of his club slipping out of the playoff race. (Mike DiGiovanna, @MikeDiGiovanna, Los Angeles Times)

Tracking Tsarnaev: Facial Recognition Will ID the Next Bomber
An F-35B Lightning II aircraft targets defensive command centers and mobile, radar-guided antiaircraft guns. This enables other aircraft to operate safely over the area during the coming attack. The jump jet needs no aircraft carrier; it takes off and lands from a smaller amphibious assault ship.
Amphibious vehicles deploy from the assault ship, land, and travel off-road to preserve the element of surprise. Infantry dismount from the vehicles and secure a landing zone with a defensive perimeter. The Corps' highest current priority is a new landing craft that can travel faster and farther over water.

Hey Everyone,
Last week while in Toronto, I had the absolute privilege of attending the Beauty Premiere, an event hosted by Annabelle and Marcelle Cosmetics to showcase some of the new products they have coming out in February 2012.
The event was hosted at the Thompson Hotel rooftop lounge, an extremely swanky bar overlooking the city of Toronto. With hard wood floors, big picturesque windows and a sleek bar, the lounge was extremely chic and perfect for a fun night out on the town.
When I first walked into the lounge area, I was greeted by one of the super friendly Annabelle/Marcelle ladies and handed a glass of champagne. She explained the different activities going on that night and suggested I hit up the lipgloss making booth (yes, you heard me right) before it got too busy.
The Lipgloss Making Booth
Talking to some of the Toronto Beauty Bloggers on twitter, I had heard rumours that we would be able to make our own lipgloss at the event. Picturing one of those little kids makeup sets where you can mix some vaseline with different coloured powders, I was shocked to see that the actual process was much more exciting and scientific.
At the booth was a display of 20 plus different lipgloss colours and finishes. After selecting anywhere from 4-6 colours, the mad scientist (aka the nice man who let me make not 1 but 3 glosses) mixed your selections into a syringe and skirted your newly created lipgloss into two tubes.
As I mentioned, I made more than one lipgloss. While I was somewhat able to imagine what my glosses would look like, it was so much fun seeing how they actually looked once mixed and I had to keep going back for more. Thanks to the generosity of Annabelle and Marcelle, I have six tubes of my own lipgloss, three of which I will be giving away in an upcoming post.
The New Products
After creating my own glosses, I decided to wander around the room and check out some of the new products Annabelle and Marcelle are bringing out for Spring 2012. Here are some of their awesome new creations:

Pizza bastardization has always been big with the kids. A little tomato sauce and grated cheese can transform almost any old bread base—an English muffin, bagel, or a crusty end of French bread—into a the perfect after-school approximation of the best stuff on Earth. While these pizza mutts can never rival the real thing, nostalgia can breed some pretty fierce loyalty to devotees of this class of pizza snack. Which pizza-bread hybrid do you love best?

When it comes to the Dwight Howard sweepstakes, Monday appears to have been "courtesy day." Both the Hawks and the Warriors are considered the two longest shots of the five teams on the board for Howard, but both sent their contingents to Los Angeles to talk with the biggest prize of this year's free-agent bunch.
The Hawks are Howard's hometown team, and he has never shown a particular interest in playing back in Atlanta. There did seem to be some hope that Howard would wind up playing for the Hawks, but that was contingent on Chris Paul somehow leaving the Clippers, and the Hawks signing both players to maximum deals. Paul has already agreed to a deal to stay in Los Angeles, and thus, the Hawks' hopes of a massive coup are flickering.
— PHOTOS: Top free agents | Free-agent list | Pelicans offer Tyreke Evans
Still, they are a team with lots of cap space, and a good new pairing—Danny Ferry and Mike Budenholzer—as the general manager and the coach, respectively. They do have the rights to Josh Smith, and since they can't sell Howard on possibly reeling in Paul, too, they can try to sell him on Smith, which is something one of their rival suitors, the Rockets, are doing.
Even more interesting in all this is the meeting with the Warriors. Golden State has no cap space available to sign Howard, so it would have to complete a sign-and-trade with the Lakers to make a deal happen. But the Lakers have shown no willingness to complete a sign-and-trade involving Howard.
The Warriors, though, could dangle a package built around Andrew Bogut, Klay Thompson and a draft pick for Howard. Bogut is in the final year of his contract, which will pay him $14.2 million, and Thompson is in his second season. The Lakers likely would push for Harrison Barnes instead of Thompson if the Warriors were to actually make a successful pitch to Howard.
But, realistically, the Hawks and Warriors are just appetizers to the real Howard show, which is expected to take place in Los Angeles on Tuesday. He will first meet with the Mavericks and a contingent that includes team owner Mark Cuban—who was not present when the Mavericks made a pitch to point guard Deron Williams last season. Star forward Dirk Nowitzki is also scheduled to help the Mavericks make their case.
The final word will belong to the Lakers, however. LA general manager Mitch Kupchak reportedly was able to sneak in a meeting with Howard on Sunday, before Howard sat down with the Rockets.
After a miserable season in which Howard struggled to come back from back surgery and a shoulder injury, followed by a first-round ouster from the playoffs, the Lakers will try to clear the air and persuade Howard to stay. It is a tall order—there was reported friction between Howard and Lakers star Kobe Bryant last season, and Howard never seemed to fit in with the Lakers offense, whether it was under original coach Mike Brown or his replacement, Mike D'Antoni.
It is a situation the Lakers didn't think they'd be in at this point. It was only six months ago that Lakers chief Jim Buss told the radio station ESPNLA 710 that the Lakers had a, "95 percent" chance of keeping Howard with the team.
Those chances are much, much lower now. While the Hawks and Warriors might be long shots, many executives around the league see Houston as the favorite, followed by either the Lakers or Dallas. Howard will wrap up the meetings Tuesday, but it could be more than a week before he announces his choice.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. - A Pompano Beach-based company is using its naturally made deodorant to promote breast cancer awareness.
When Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal launched their "Send Hope" campaign to raise breast cancer awareness, it nearly crashed their Facebook page.
"We had to take it down the same day we put it up because we had such a huge response," said Christi Moe, the director of marketing for Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal.
The company asked fans to send in their doctor's information so the company could give them deodorant samples for patients.
"People were sharing it among themselves to their friends, their families," said Moe. "It went on fire."
Cathy and Ted Alflen, the owners of Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal, want to spread awareness of breast cancer. Cathy Alflen lost her mother to breast cancer in the 1970s.
"The one thing that I always thought about was how important it is to communicate," she said. "On my mother's case and women of that age, it was a shame thing. They didn't talk about breast cancer."
In the early 1990s, Ted Alflen found a crystal deodorant product he named "Naturally Fresh." The deodorant is now distributed in more than 60 countries.
"The first couple of times I spoke to Walmart, they thought I was crazy to try to sell a crystal rock to them," he said. "They didn't think it would work."
Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal doesn't contain products that have been linked to breast cancer.
"There's this 'ah ha' moment when they realize, you know, why should I take the chance, why should I take the risk of introducing a chemical in to my body where I'm not sure what exactly that's going to do," said Moe.
"Cancer awareness is very important, and I'm just so happy people are able to discuss it freely and comfortably and not be ashamed and go in to a reclusive situation," said Cathy Alflen.

Senator Wyden Lays Out Broad Internet Freedom Agenda, Warns Against 'Maximalist' Agenda That Harms Innovation
from the more-of-this-please dept
What chills the sharing of ideas and collaboration is the maximalist approach to copyrights and patents. Rights-holders are too eager to use their power to scare off challenges to the status quo, and this perpetuates stagnation.Other items of interest: he's working with Senator Al Franken on taking an antitrust approach to deal with net neutrality. Details obviously matter -- and I've been quite skeptical of net neutrality laws, as they seem ripe for regulatory capture by big broadband providers -- but an antitrust approach is at least an interesting idea. We've been arguing for nearly a decade that the whole concept of "net neutrality" is something of a red herring. The only reason net neutrality is an issue is because of a lack of competition. Thus, taking an antitrust approach may actually make sense, though (again) the details matter quite a bit.
On patents, he's arguing that we need much more detailed info on the impact of software patents on the economy:
A related concern is the affect of software patents on America's ability to innovate. Congress should begin a review – a cost-benefit analysis – of software patents' contribution to the economy. The acquisition of these patents appears less about deploying innovation and more about employing a legal arsenal. The patent system should not, as Julie Samuels at EFF says, operate as a tax on innovation, as it does now. How are you promoting innovation if you stand behind a law that enables a few lines of code to be patentable for 20 years? Software is different than a new invention. It is a building block -- a new set of instructions -- that should be continually built upon and improved.This is good... but I still get nervous when people focus too much on software patents. There are significant problems with all kinds of patents, and focusing just on "software" alone, may leave other problems in place. Still, more data and information is a good thing, and a serious look at the economic impact of software patents can only be a good thing.
In separate conversations after his speech, Wyden made it clear that with all the other -- more high profile -- things that Congress is fighting over in the next few months, it may be difficult to get too much through Congress, but he is quite reasonably optimistic about how many people in Congress are awakening to the importance of the internet and to understanding the wider concerns of all of us who use the internet on a daily basis.

text: Dutchman elected new chief of eurogroup By The Associated Press January 21, 2013 Story Share The Associated Press Luxembourg's Prime Minister and head of the eurogroup Jean-Claude Juncker (left) greets Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem in Luxembourg on Friday. BRUSSELS -- The Dutch finance minister, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, was elected Monday as the new president of the group of euro area finance ministers.Dijsselbloem, 46, who has only been the Netherlands' finance minister since November, will now face one of the world's most daunting financial tasks -- helping to lead the group of 17 European Union countries that use the euro back to financial stability.Some EU leaders feel the corner has been turned in the effort to save the euro currency.But at a press conference after the meeting of the eurozone finance ministers in Brussels, at which he was elected, Dijsselbloem cautioned against overconfidence."The job isn't done yet," he said.He promised to focus on growth and further integration."The completion of the banking union is essential," he said.Dijsselbloem replaces Jean-Claude Juncker, the Prime Minister of Luxembourg, who held the job for eight years. Despite his inexperience, he will face immediate challenges, including the need to negotiate a bailout for Cyprus, reducing high national debt in some countries as well as crushing unemployment, and growing opposition to austerity in some eurozone countries.Dijsselbloem had broad support at the finance ministers meeting, but Spain did not vote in favor of him. Dijsselbloem said the Spanish finance minister, Luis de Guindos, offered no explanation for his lack of support.Dijsselbloem served in the Dutch parliament as a member of the center-left Labor party for most of the past decade until being named finance minister a little over two months ago. His candidacy to lead the eurogroup came as a surprise, but he emerged as the compromise candidate among Europe's main political groups and between economically stronger and weaker nations.The Netherlands' top-notch AAA credit rating and longstanding support for German positions on the need for budget discipline, free trade and fighting inflation made a Dutch candidate a palatable choice for Berlin's center-right government. Dijsselbloem's affiliation with the Labor Party, meanwhile, made him an acceptable choice for France's Socialist President Francois Hollande. "He's the candidate, he's the only one, so obviously he's the best," French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said before the meeting.Juncker, who is also prime minister of Luxembourg, has over the past three years been at the heart of efforts to avoid a breakup of the euro, a currency used by 330 million people. He has weathered all-night meetings and early-morning press conferences with global markets hanging on his every word.Other European Union officials offered fulsome praise for Juncker as he held his final press conference as eurogroup president. "Jean-Claude Juncker is really one of the true and great Europeans of our time," said Klaus Regling, head of the European Stability Mechanism, the eurozone's new bailout fund.Juncker said Monday he was relieved to step down. He also dashed hopes for a quick solution to the eurozone's latest problem, the cash-strapped Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus, which is seeking a bailout from its European partners.He said a decision would probably be made in March.Cyprus is seeking rescue loans of about €17 billion ($22.6 billion) -- almost equivalent to its annual gross domestic product. About €10 billion would shore up the country's ailing banks, with the remainder meant to keep the government afloat.The bailout could push Cyprus' debt to 150 percent of gross domestic product, a level economists consider unsustainable for such a small economy.In creditor nations such as Germany, Europe's biggest economy, the bailout has been met with skepticism amid allegations that Cypriot banks have helped launder Russian money and facilitated tax evasion. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told the daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung that it was unclear whether there would be a bailout at all, because it wasn't clear if a Cypriot bankruptcy "would endanger the eurozone as a whole at all."If Europe and the International Monetary Fund balk at bailing out Cyprus, which accounts for only 0.19 percent of the eurozone's economy, the country could face bankruptcy within months, possibly forcing it to leave the eurozone.Moscovici hinted that Europeans wouldn't let Cyprus down, stressing that the priority must be to secure "the integrity of the eurozone."Toby Sterling in Amsterdam contributed reporting.

Category: The Obituary Writer character names
Novelist Ann Hood, bestselling author of The Knitting Circle and The Red Thread, explores the interplay between naming children and naming the characters in her newest book, The Obituary Writer.
When I chose the name Claire for one of the protagonists of my new novel, The Obituary Writer, I thought I'd found the perfect name for a woman living in 1961. To me, Claire sounded sophisticated without seeming snobby; feminine but not girlish; and although not unusual a name, it was also not common.
So imagine my surprise when I started to read another novel partially set in the early 1960s, Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter, and found a protagonist named Claire. The feeling was similar to the day I showed up at a Mommy group with my baby son Sam and every other boy there was also named Sam.
After I got over discovering this other literary Claire, I wondered if Jess Walter and I were somehow tapping into a hot new name trend. But no. Claire has been solidly in the Top 100 girl names for a decade, and among the U.S. Top 1000 since they started keeping records in 1880.
Unless, I thought, characters' names in novels influence baby names, especially if those books are made into movies ala Love Story and its infamous influence on the popularity of Jennifer?
Lots of parents seem to have been influenced by the romantic hero of Nicholas Sparks' novel-turned-blockbuster-movie The Notebook to name their sons Noah. In the 1980s—two decades before The Notebook—Noah's popularity held steady in the 200s and only made a big leap upward in the late 1990s when the book was first published, jumping again in 2004 after the movie came out. By 2011, Noah had moved all way up to the fifth most popular boys' name.

Lasorda, others fondly remember Welch
CINCINNATI -- Several current and former members of the Dodgers' coaching staff were teammates and friends of Bob Welch, the former Dodgers and A's pitcher who passed away on Monday. Before Tuesday's game against the Reds, they reflected on what Welch meant to them and their organization.
"I just got over [Don] Zimmer's death and now we got another one real quick," said former manager Tommy Lasorda. "Bobby Welch was just one of my all-time favorite pitchers. He had a lot of heart … He had tremendous ability, he was a great guy and everybody loved him."
Lasorda, along with so many others, will never forget the strikeout Welch had of Reggie Jackson in the 1978 World Series, when Welch was only 21.
"That was one of the greatest confrontations I have ever witnessed in all the years I've been in baseball," Lasorda said. "That was the most exciting thing; I'm sitting on the bench, I was up in front, and it was really something to behold … One of the greatest, greatest I've ever seen between a pitcher and a batter confrontation, and it will go down in the history of baseball as the greatest."
"He was a fierce competitor," said hitting coach Mark McGwire, who played with Welch on the A's from 1988 to 1994. "He was just a special guy. I don't think there was a teammate that played with him that didn't care for him. The last time I saw him was at the retirement of Tony [La Russa's] number in St. Louis. I got to sit next to him on the field when they were doing the ceremony, and all he kept on doing was talking about the good old times and how it was."
"It's unbelievable, very sad," said pitching coach Rick Honeycutt, who was on the same pitching staff with Welch both with the Dodgers and A's from 1983-93. "He was a very upbeat guy, a great teammate, just one of those guys you didn't get to see enough of."

COHOES -- The address of Ravens Head Brewing has yet to be determined, with their Facebook site stating on the location line: "Help us find our home." But there is a good possibility that the new home could be the Cohoes Armory.
"It's a bit premature, though we did make an offer," said brewer Brennon Cleary of Kinderhook. He noted that it was his understanding that two other offers were on the table, which is why it was too early to say if his offer would be accepted. His broker noted that there was another offer, with a second expected today.
Despite this, the city of Cohoes was excited at the prospect of a possible brewery and future brew pub that offered tastings and maybe food.
"We identified that location as a strong area for development," said Ed Tremblay, director of community and economic development in Cohoes. He said the brewery would fit in well with their plans for the neighborhood which would include making a nice park area and an extension to downtown. The city is thinking about acquiring pieces of land in that neighborhood and working with landlords to help rehab and develop the area. The plan, in the long run, would make it similar to Troy's Washington Park, Tremblay explained.
Tremblay and Cleary said there were multiple factors which made the site a good location for the brewery, including its proximity to Route 787 and the fact that it would not be near any active churches or schools or other breweries. Tremblay said there have been a couple breweries in the Spindle City's past but they have been out of business for many years.
The Cohoes Armory, located at 33 Hart St. between Main and Columbia streets, dates back to the 1880s. Most recently, it was the location of a printing business and before that it housed a popular apparel store, Cramer's Armory.
Tremblay said other prospective uses for the site, in the past couple years since it has been on the market, included a light manufacturing firm, the space for an incubator company and as a recreational venue. He said some have wanted to put trampolines and even a small wave pool in the building which has a total of about 16,000 square feet, with both the first floor and basement at about 8,000 square feet.
It was assessed at about $130,000 when current owner Kevin Winne purchased the property in 2001, for about $100,000. The current bidding has surpassed $200,000.
If it were to become a brewery, only one permit would be needed since the site is already zoned for mixed-use, said Tremblay, who said his understanding was that the two other bidders had backed out. One included an auctioning company.
Following the issues the brewery faced in possibly locating the Ten Broeck neighborhood in Albany, Cleary said the reception from the city of Cohoes has been "refreshing." He said he liked the high ceilings at the Armory and Neo-gothic architecture. Ravens Head does not currently commercially sell beer so the Cohoes site, if finalized, would be their start up location. Cleary said they would offer an English style ale, a Kolsch and an India Pale Ale, along with other beers he has been home brewing including one with vanilla bean and another called Peachberry Wheat. Though, he mentioned, much would depend on the Cohoes water quality.
Cleary expected that operations would be up and running, at whatever location they ended up at, in about 7 to 10 months. He said they had also shown interest in a site in Hudson and, if they had been notified earlier, would have been interested in the St. Patrick's church location in Watervliet.
"The Armory would make sense for us," Cleary said. "But it comes down to what city really wants us. Nothing is concrete yet."

Goodguys Del Mar Was at the Front of the Pack
It takes a few key ingredients for a show to be a success. The show grounds have to be comfortable and clean. The surrounding area should be pleasant enough for an evening cruise. And there needs to be lots of classic trucks and hot rods. One event that has met all three of these requirements is the Goodguys Rod & Custom Nationals in Del Mar, California. Although only in its fourth year, this show has quickly became one of SoCal's must-do events.
The Del Mar show is always one of our favorites because it's close enough for us to drive some of our own hot rods and it's the kick-off for our Top Ten awards. The event is held at the fairgrounds and horse track and had several buildings housing some of the premier hot rods from around the country. The weather was a little questionable for those less adventurous the night before the show, but by Friday morning everything was as it should have been. The location right by the beach helps keep the temperature down to a comfortable level so you can walk and check out the rides without feeling like your going to get heatstroke.
After a couple of years of cutting the vehicle entry date off at '64, Goodguys opened it up to '72 this year, which is perfect for those of us with automotive tastes that venture out to anything with wheels. Not only were there more classic trucks in attendance, but the muscle cars also had a good showing.
Just when the show's over for the day, there's more fun to be had cruising along the Southern California coastline afterhours, taking in the sights and some good eating. What more could you want? I know we'll be back next year.

Violin Professor to Give Week of Lectures, Master Classes
Published on Tue, July 03, 2012
In a small room on the second floor of the Sette LaVerghetta Center for the Performing Arts, Sophie Till picks up her violin, tunes it and begins to play a song. Till—who is an associate professor of violin in Marywood's music, theater, and dance department—is preparing for a series of lectures and master classes she will be giving at Princeton University in July.
"You deal with students on a totally different intellectual level," she says. "The demand to be articulate is higher than at any other time."
Along with her duties at Marywood, Till is also an associate faculty member at the New York City-based Golandsky Institute, established in 1976, where she directs the violin program. The institute's International Summer Program attracts professional musicians and students from across the globe. Till spends weeks preparing her lessons and lectures.
Sound & Style
Till's approach to music can be summed up in one word: physicality. When asked what makes her teaching style unique, she explains her emphasis on coordination and movement.
"As a performer, we function at the convergence of an internal physical landscape and the music," she says. "That is what enables us to play. So, if I don't understand how that physicality functions in the service of the music, then I can't perform."
Till uses the "Taubman Approach": a musical technique developed for piano players to "prevent and cure fatigue, pain, and other playing-related injuries." Interestingly, Till modified this approach for violinists—her specialty—and it has gained momentum. Musicians develop injuries from misuse of their bodies over time while playing, and Till says that applying the Taubman Approach to violinists has never been done before.
"[This approach] saves people's careers," she explains. "My profession is riddled with injured people, and it enables them to recover from an injury more quickly."
The Real Deal
Back in her office, Till finishes playing and carefully places her violin on a nearby table. The conversation changes and she begins to talk about her students. This year, several students will join the violin professor at the Princeton symposium.
"The students are blown away by the level of musicianship," she says. "It is great for them because it really exposes them to world class players. The level of teaching and performing is incredible. This is the real deal."
Professor Sophie Till will be in Princeton, New Jersey, from July 7–15.

Behind by 10 points with less than eight minutes remaining in a an enemy stadium. The games going from bad to worse, mainly because youre minus-2 in turnovers and plagued by damaging penalties.
So you put the ball in the hands of Taylor Martinez and ask him to bring Nebraska from behind. Again. This time, against the best defense in the Big Ten.
Nebraska 28, Michigan State 24. Theres gotta be another way to win a conference road game, doesnt there?
Martinez, who should copyright the phrase erratic but explosive, threw three interceptions and fumbled the ball only to have it recovered by a teammate. But his never-say-die attitude carried the Huskers from behind in a hard-hitting slugfest of a game that looked to be filled with bad blood on both sides of the ball.
Yet Nebraska found a way to win a second game without Rex Burkhead, and knocked the Spartans clean out of the Legends Division race. It was a colossal gut check for the Huskers (7-2, 4-1 Big Ten)
Here are my top three keys to the game. You can tell us about yours by using the Talk Back feature.
1. The Cornhusker offensive line was up and down, but got the job done. Martinez was under pressure on a few of his throws, but when you gain 300 yards rushing against the rugged Spartan defense, youve done yourself proud.
2. If going minus-2 in turnovers and piling up 72 penalty yards wasnt bad enough, Nebraska won on the scoreboard despite losing the kicking game. Brett Maher had his worst day of the season missing a 30-yard field goal attempt that looked like it was going to be the difference in the game, and shanking his first punt badly.
3. On a night when three Husker receivers dropped passes, Jamal Turner made the biggest catch of his life with six seconds left in the game. Turner dropped a sure TD pass against Minnesota last season at Minneapolis, but hes been gaining confidence all season and made his first touchdown a memorable one.

(UPDATED COVERAGE, Aug. 20) An unidentified Indiana cantaloupe grower has recalled cantaloupes that are linked to two deaths and 141 illnesses from salmonella.
Three states' health officials linked salmonella cases to melons from Southwest Indiana. The deaths were in Kentucky.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. began pulling cantaloupe from the suspect region Aug. 17, according to spokeswoman Diana Gee. Officials from the Kroger Co., Cincinnati, and Schnucks Supermarkets, St. Louis, made simialr announcements.
Lori Willis, Schnucks spokeswoman, said the regional chain pulled all cantaloupes from southwest Indiana and has coordniated with its suppliers to procure cantaloupes from other regions so that supplies would not be disrupted for consumers.
Kroger's manager of publc affairs for its Delta Division in Memphis, Tenn., said the company's stores do not have cantaloupes from the area of Indiana where the investigation is ongoing. In his statement, Joe Bell said Kroger's Delta Division is selling cantaloupes sourced from California. He said the investigation does not include any suppliers that the chain has used this year.
In an outbreak report, officials with the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that the grower stopped shipping cantaloupes for the rest of the season.
Kraig Humbaugh of Kentucky's Department for Public Health told Reuters that watermelons from the same region in Indiana are also being investigated as another possible source of a smaller salmonella outbreak.
The United Fresh Produce Association, Washington D.C., issued a member alert with talking points for members in an attempt to minimize negative impact.
"United Fresh, working in cooperation with other produce industry organizations, advises members to be prepared to address questions from customers, business partners or consumers about the outbreak," according to the e-mail.
Information that United Fresh suggests members to cover include:
- Only cantaloupes grown in southwestern Indiana (and most likely a single farm) have been linked to the salmonella outbreak;
- The FDA is expected to identify the farm linked to the outbreak, helping locate product in the supply chain;
- The cantaloupe industry follows stringent, science-based guidance to minimize contamination; and
- The produce industry is committed to the highest standards of food safety, and considers consumer safety to be the highest priority.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, the cantaloupe-related outbreak spans 20 states and has sickened at least 141 people, killing two in Kentucky and sending 31 to hospitals.
"FDA officials are actively investigating potential sources of the outbreak, and will continue to update the public as more specific information becomes available," according to a statement on the FDA's Coordinated Outbreak and Response (CORE) Network website.
"In the course of their investigation, state officials in Kentucky and Indiana found evidence that they believe indicate cantaloupes grown in southwestern Indiana may be a source of the ongoing Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak," the FDA notice states.
As of Aug. 17, the FDA reported states included in the outbreak and the number of illnesses were: Alabama 7, Arkansas 3, California 2, Georgia 1, Illinois 17, Indiana 13, Iowa 7, Kentucky 50, Michigan 6, Minnesota 3, Missouri 9, Mississippi 2, New Jersey 1, North Carolina 3, Ohio 3, Pennsylvania 2, South Carolina 3, Tennessee 6, Texas 1 and Wisconsin 2.
The Indiana Department of Health issued a consumer alert Aug. 17 urging consumers to throw out all Indiana-grown cantaloupes they bought since July 7.
"The Indiana State Department of Health is investigating farms in Southwest Indiana as well as distributors and retailers, as potential sources of the outbreak," according to the alert.
Amy Reel, director of public affairs for the Indiana Department of Health, said one grower voluntarily began a "market withdrawl" and had stopped shipping cantaloupes.
"We don't call it a recall because it is voluntary and we don't want anyone to mistakenly think the grower is being forced to take this action," Reel said. "But the process has begun."
Indiana officials said 14 residents and more than 140 people nationwide have been sickened by the same strain of salmonella found in the Southwest Indiana cantaloupes.
Before Indiana's alert, Kentucky health officials announced they linked a salmonella outbreak to cantaloupes from Indiana.
Tennessee health officials said that at least six salmonella cases in the state are from the same strain. No cantaloupes grown in Tennessee or Kentucky have been linked to the outbreak.
"Cantaloupes grown on one farm have tested positive for the same type of salmonella causing illnesses in Tennessee and several other states," according to the alert from the Tennessee departments of health and agriculture.
State and federal officials apparently identified at least one Indiana grower whose cantaloupe have tested positive for the specific strain of salmonella, but the grower has not been named.
"It is an ongoing investigation so we are not yet releasing the names of any growers," said Beth Fisher, public information officer with the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services.
Officials are not sure if any of the implicated cantaloupes are still available for sale, Fisher said.
The salmonella outbreak began in early July. Fisher said investigators linked it to cantaloupes from southwestern Indiana by patient interviews, lab tests on patients and tests of cantaloupes matching the specific strain of salmonella affecting Kentucky residents.

Air Marshals Stop Alleged Shoe Bomb Attempt On United 663 Washington to Denver
7 Nisan 2010 Çarşamba 22:25
Last updated 7 years ago.
At least one federal air marshall onboard United Airlines flight #663 from Washington DC to Denver on Wednesday night stopped a citizen of Qatar after reports that the passenger said that he was intending to light his shoes on fire. Reports are that the passenger spent a lengthy time in the lavatory, was questioned about it upon leaving the lavatory, and gave the explanation that he had been trying to light his shoes on fire.
No explosive have been found.
The flight was on a Boeing 757-200 that departed Washington DC just after 5:30pm EDT. Fighter jets were scrambled from Buckley Air Force Base to intercept or meet the flight as it flew toward Denver. Police and other law enforcement officials met the aircraft upon landing in Denver and there have been no reports of injuries.
Officials report that the suspect has been in the United States for years.

Hi Guys!
I have a MySQL query which takes quite a while to load. This is very frustrating for users when they do a search as it can take up to 10 seconds for the page to load. When I execute the function in phpMyAdmin it says the query took 1.34 seconds but in fact takes about 10 seconds for that page to load too.
I also run an EXPLAIN on the query and took a screenshot of the result. Any help to speed this query up would be greatly appreciated.
SELECT jobs.job_title, jobs.job_url, jobs.job_salary, jobs.job_ote, jobs.job_perks, jobs.job_description, jobs.date_posted, companies.company_name, companies.company_url, companies.logo_thumbnail, count( applications.id ) AS applications, count( featured_jobs.id ) AS featured, l.display_name, l.postcode, l.display_county
FROM jobs
INNER JOIN companies ON companies.id = jobs.company_id
INNER JOIN jobs_industries ON jobs_industries.job_id = jobs.id
INNER JOIN jobs_job_types ON jobs_job_types.job_id = jobs.id
SELECT job_id, if( count( job_id ) >1, 'Locations throughout the UK', display_name ) AS display_name, postcode, display_county, location_id
FROM jobs_locations
GROUP BY job_id
) AS l ON l.job_id = jobs.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN applications ON applications.job_id = jobs.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN featured_jobs ON featured_jobs.job_id = jobs.id
WHERE jobs.status = 'on'
GROUP BY jobs.id
ORDER BY featured DESC , date_posted DESC
Generically, the places to focus on an Explain result are where:
Your indexes are stored in an efficient fashion, usually in order, whereas your data could be in any random order. Imagine a large book; you would need to read the whole thing to know that you've definitely found the information that you're looking for, whereas if you use the index you will be able to go straight to the term you need and won't need to look any further than the pages that it tells you to. So, where there's no possible key available, you can consider adding one. Personally I consider it good practice to have an index on any field that is used in a join, though in reality it may depend on the size of the table etc for whether there's any real-world benefit.
When you get 100 rows returned, and you then go further down and see another 100 rows returned (especially as a result of outer joins) you will multiply the number of original rows by the number of new rows. So 100x100 = 10,000 rows. When you've got 20,000 x 6 you will end up with 120,000 rows of data for the server to work through. Looking at your result, and if I'm not mistaken, you are returning a total of 2,387,775,606 rows. This is a HUGE amount of data that the server won't be able to keep in memory (depending on your configuration) so it will write it to a temporary table on disc and perform a filesort. Disc based operations are MUCH more costly than memory based, so it becomes much slower immediately. Large numbers of results, grouping and ordering generally always result in "Using temporary; Using filesort".
Lastly, and probably the primary reason for your particular problem (apologies for going the long way around) and the reason that you have so many rows returned as above, is that subqueries are just painfully slow in MySQL (usually). I don't believe that the jobs_locations join is doing you any favours at all, because as above, every time it appears to be returning 20,000 rows again. Is there any reason why you've used a subquery? Could you optimise it into a simple join? I would be focussing my attention there, personally
Hi there!
Thanks for your detailed response. It all makes complete sense. I did try and write a simple join for this query but it didn't seem to work (can't remember why now though) that's why I changed it to use a sub query.
I have also been told that creating a temporary table, selecting the results and then deleting the temporary table may be a better choice, but I don't see why this would speed the query up?
I am totally lost at the moment
A colleague was once given the same advice. I'd heard it plenty of times so suggested we both tackle his slow query; he did it through a manual temporary table creation etc, and I did it the simple way around by just optimising the query as best as I could. At the end of the day my solution was faster, because MySQL said to itself "I've got a lot of info here - too much to process in RAM - so I'm going to create a temporary table (Using temporary), put the data in there, sort/group (Using filesort) and then return the results".
I'll be honest with you; with the database actually in front of me I was always excellent at optimising queries, but just looking at the query itself and an EXPLAIN result is not so easy for me, so I can't give you an actual solution. I WOULD however 100% suggest that you focus on that join. Another solution (if you're using PHP) would be to run that subquery first, store the results in a PHP array, and then look it up as the results come out of the main query. When we switched from InnoDB to NDB Cluster we had to break up loads of queries that worked fine in to multiple queries due to the way that NDB works. I spent years thinking I needed to get EVERYTHING out with one query, when it was often counter-intuitive. Just don't nest queries inside PHP loops (ie for each row, run another query).
Alternatively, get that subquery to only return one result (implement a WHERE clause in it). It'll still be slower than it could be, but it'll be a lot faster than it is
no, i think you read that wrong if you simply multiply 19949 * 6 * 19949
quick disclaimer: i'm no EXPLAIN expert either
however, you're on the right track in multiplying row counts together
i call this problem cross join effects and it results when you combine several one-to-many relationships in the joins
let's analyze the joins --
FROM jobs
JOIN companies
ON companies.id = jobs.company_id
if you look at the join columns, you can assume that each job has exactly one company
that's because jobs.company_id is a foreign key, referencing the companies.id primary key
it's a one-to-many relationship, from companies to jobs, but seen from the point of view of the jobs table, each job has one company
JOIN jobs_industries
ON jobs_industries.job_id = jobs.id
this relationship is reversed -- it's one-to-many from jobs to industries
so each job can have multiple industries
JOIN jobs_job_types
ON jobs_job_types.job_id = jobs.id
another one-to-many relationship -- each job can have multiple job types
so if a given job has 4 industries and 3 job types, there will be 12 intermediate rows produced by these joins
in other words, cross join effects
now look at the subquery for job locations
this is another one-to-many relationship (each job can have multiple locations), however, the subquery has GROUP BY job_id so in effect this subquery will only ever join one additional row to the jobs row
i actually helped write this subquery last december, and i notice my advice to use CASE and MIN(display_name) was not adopted... sigh
carrying on with the one-to-many analysis, you can see that applications and featured-jobs are also contributing to the cross join effects
what to do?
any relationship that has multiple rows per job should be re-written into a subquery with a GROUP BY on the job

Swedish men sweep Europa Cup opener; Kwame DNF
Swedish men sweep Europa Cup opener; Kwame DNF{mosimage}The Europa Cup season got under way Friday, Nov. 4 in the Netherlands, with Sweden sweeping the podium in a knockout slalom at an indoor ski hall in Landgraaf. While the U.S. Ski Team often competes in Europa Cup races, no Americans were present for this one.
Indoor skiing is especially popular in Great Britain, the Netherlands and Germany. Ski Racing is preparing an upcoming magazine feature on the indoor-racing trend and its implications for the sport.
On Sunday, the women's Europa Cup kicks off in Bottrop, Germany, an indoor ski hall that was built partly with investment from five-time overall World Cup winner Marc Girardelli.
Three Swedes – Matthias Hargin, Hans Olsson and Oscar Andersson – took the top three spots in Thursday's race, which followed the knockout format the FIS tried at the World Cup level in the 2002-03 season.
Knockout slaloms consist of two qualifying runs that set up an elimination-format race. Skiers make plenty of turns, even though Landgraaf's course is only 22 seconds long.
The Europa Cup schedule is divided into blocks, and visits some lesser-known ski nations such as Russia and Poland. A key section of the calendar is Dec. 13-15, when there are three men's races in Italy (Alta Badia, St. Vigilio and Obereggen) that usually attract solid World Cup fields.
Last year, Hannes Reichelt of Austria and Kjetil Jansrud of Norway tied to win the Europa Cup, with 1,206 points each. Austria swept the top three spots in the women's Europa Cup, with Andrea Fischbacher setting the pace with 827 points, followed by Michaela Kirchgasser (724 points) and Daniela Zeiser (603 points).
Introducing the Kwame Watch: Among the skiers competing in Landgraaf was Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong, from Ghana, who did not finish. Nkrumah-Acheampong, who lives near London, is attempting to qualify for the Olympic Winter Games in February, but needs to lower his points to 140 to make it. He plans to race FIS races in Europe. Skiracing.com will follow his progress closely.

LeBron James is all about fan participation. That much was obvious when the ball ricocheted into the crowd at American Airlines Arena and landed in the lap of a Miami Heat fan.
The fan, stunned he made the catch, held the ball until James motioned for a pass. After taking a slow chest pass from the fan, James fired the ball back for a little give-and-go action. He received the return throw and started up the next Heat play.
Meanwhile, the crowd cheered James' friendly gesture. Wearing James' No. 6 jersey, the fan waved to the crowd as he and James were applauded from every corner of the arena.
What was James' rationale for the prolonged passing session? A simple show of gratitude.
"I just wanted to show my appreciation to the fans that we have here. They've been great all night," James said during an ESPN telecast.
This wasn't the first time James added to the fan experience in Miami. When Michael Drysch attended a Heat game and hit a $75,000 halftime shot, James ran onto the floor and tackled him in excitement.

Cano maintains perspective during NY visit
NEW YORK -- Robinson Cano returned to Yankee Stadium on Tuesday for the first time since signing with Seattle in December, and the five-time All-Star said he was just looking forward to seeing his former teammates and playing baseball in front of the fans that watched him grow up in the game.
But Cano steered clear of any questions about the contract decision he made to leave New York, despite being asked several times about his "lack of respect" comment, which the second baseman made when he initially rejected the Yankees' seven-year, $175 million offer and signed with Seattle for $10 years at $240 million.
"One thing to understand, this is a business," Cano said. "I can't control the Yankees. I can control myself. They made that decision, and we're both happy. I'm happy where I am now. I'm happy to be a Mariner. And good luck to them."
Cano had a whirlwind day in New York on Monday's off-day, when he taped the MTV2 show "Off the Bat" and made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, taping a funny bit in which he came out from behind a big cardboard cutout of himself that Yankees fans were booing before realizing Cano was there in person.
"That was a lot of fun -- I had a great experience," Cano said. "I know I'm not a Yankee anymore. I have to understand the fans. They're not going to cheer for you here. They're going to boo you because you're on the opposite team. The last thing they want is for you to come here and do well."
Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said he wasn't concerned at all about Cano handling the New York scene, which also included a pregame press gathering on Tuesday in front of a throng of reporters and cameras in a large interview room normally reserved for the Yankees.
"Robbie is a nine-year veteran, and he grew up in New York. Need I say more?" McClendon said. "I'm sure he knows how to handle himself. You guys need to keep an eye out for me."
Cano entered play on Tuesday hitting .301 with one home run and 11 RBIs over his first 24 games with the Mariners. He acknowledged it's a new situation in a new city after growing up in the Yankees organization, but he said he's pleased with how things are going.
"It's different," Cano said. "The Yankees are a team that has won a lot of championships, they have fans all over the place. It's always crowded. In Seattle, I can't tell you that much yet. We've had two homestands. But right now, I can tell you one thing: I'm happy there, the way they've embraced me, the fans, the organization, my teammates. That's one thing I can tell you right now."

Rather than the issue of objective knowledge, Buddhism enquires as the conditions for anything appearing at all - the focus is not about the truth "behind" appearances, but the truth about them.
But I find the question of intersubjectivity to be very relevant to the aims of Mahayana. If the ultimate aim is Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings, then any Mahayana philosophy has to explain how beings can possibly interact with each other.
I already explained: body, voice and mind.

OAKLAND — A smoky house fire in East Oakland burned for more than an hour Tuesday morning before firefighters were able to control it.
Besides flames and smoke in the home's attic, firefighters were hampered by a large amount of personal belongings inside the home and a fallen power line on the side of the house, fire officials said.
No injuries were reported.
The fire erupted at the three-story, wood-frame house in the 2000 block of East 26th Street about 9 a.m. and was controlled at 10:16 a.m. The owner was not home when the fire started, said Battalion Chief Jenny Ray. It was not immediately known where the fire was sparked, but flames spread to the attic, prolonging the blaze. Smoke could be seen and smelled for miles.
Firefighters were ordered out of the burning structure at least twice so they would not be injured.
Police officers blocked off streets in the area while firefighters battled the blaze.
Fire investigators were still trying to determine the cause of the fire. Portions of the roof collapsed and officials said the house was a total loss.

text: Hi. I've been a poster here in the past but it has been a few years ago. I enjoy reading the boards here. So to my question. I was reading an Article in RATS today about the 2000 Finals and Jalen Rose mentioned something in the article to the effect of 'We should have kept that team together for another year or two' and it got me to thinking; Why didn't they go for one or two more years with that team? Reggie played at a high level for another 5 years, mark another 2, dale a few more, perkins played another year, and Jalen and Travis were still young. The only guy that I know that retired was Rik Smits after that year. I bet he could have been talked into staying if the team was going to make another 1 or two year run at it. I recall that that they wanted to go with a youth movement, but perhaps Walsh pulled the trigger too soon. I do remember a lot of it. I was 18 at the time, but some of it has escaped my memory. Let me know what you think. Thanks

Is this translation of the Dhammapada any good?
It's very prominent on the internet (a search for "Dhammapada pdf" on google puts it in the #1 position), but I can't find much information about the translator (Thomas Byrom) and I'm ashamed to say I've not heard of him (I'm not very well read).
Is this a good translation or is it worth sticking with the two found on accesstoinsight?

Traveling through Kentucky's Fourth District during the August district work period, I have had the chance to speak with a number of small business owners, local bankers, health care providers and farmers who are very concerned about the impact of new regulations on their businesses. They want to know: what is being done to deal with the unaccountable onslaught of these job-crushing rules?
