By the way, who invented The Four Noble Truths? One of the early western
buddhologist I suppose. Everything becomes clear, however, when they are
seen, not as truths, but as Four Realities to ariyas, namely noble persons.
One may also add the analyses of the saccaani found in the Abhidhamma
literature like the Vibha.nga and Pa.tisambhidamagga (basically an exgesis
of the relevant Sa.myutta passage). I wonder if any buddhologist ever
reflected upon the puzzling qualification of the first "truth" as akusala.
If sacca is understood as reality this qualification makes perfect sense. In
the context of the canonical statements of the saccaani, it also becomes
understandable why the annihilation of the first sacca is seen as kusala.
Why would any one annihilate a truth? My interpretation also explains the
noun phrase dukkha.m ariyasa.m which is usually translated as "The Noble
Truth about Suffering." This is grammatically impossible, and scholars have
therefore concluded that the transmission is erroneous. On my interpretation
this problem disappears completely: ariyasacca.m is evidently apposition to
dukkha.m: suffering, which is a reality to an ariya (or ariyas). The much
discussed grammatical problems of the remaining propositions concerning the
truths are nothing but instances of gender attraction. The formulation
including the unexpected ungrammaticality of the gender attraction is neatly
reflected in Buddhist Sanskrit literature, cf. Arthavini.scaya (the editor
Santani corrected the text!) and Dharmasa.ngraha.
Take for example the phrase "noble truth"...it has become commonplace to talk about the four noble truths, and this is a prefectly acceptable translation of the compound ariya-sacca: ariya means noble and sacca means truth, so ariya-sacca means noble truth. This translation is so common and so fixed in our minds, that it seems almost like blasphemy to have to point out that not only is this not the only possible translation, but it is in fact the least likely of all the possibilities.
If we look at the commentators we find that they knew this very well. They point out that the compound can have a number of meanings. It can mean "Truth of the Noble One," "truth of the noble ones," "truth for a noble one," i.e. truth that will make one noble, as well as the translation "noble truth" so familiar to us. This last possibility, however, they put at the bottom of the list of possiblities, if they mention it at all. My own feeling is that it is very likely that "the truth of the Noble One (the Buddha)" is the correct translation, although we must never lose sight of the fact that in Indian literature multiple meanings are very often intended, so that it is not always possible to say that there is a single correct meaning.
I just want to add that the use of sacca in the Paali canon in general does
not support the idea that it denotes truth. All instances known to me
indicate that sacca primarily denotes something real, an incontrovertible
fact, reality. Cf. the canonical phrase saccato thetato. The commentators
gloss saccato as bhuutato.
In the Vinaya, however, you find saccam used in the sense of true. Every time someone commits an offence and the monks mention the offence to Buddha, he questions the "criminal" by asking "is it true as reported that ..." (sacca.m kira). In such a case the use of sacca evidently concerns the truthfulness of the accusations.
That "satya" (sacca) can also and often mean "truth" seems quite easy to demonstrate. Consider the term used as the opposite to "satya" in such compounds as "satya-vaadin" / "m.r.saa-vaadin" (sacca-vadin / musaa-vaadin) - "one who speaks the truth" / "one who speaks falsehoods". Or else the concept of "satya-vacana" - the efficacy of the utterance primarily depends upon its verity, although its reality is perhaps implicit.
But I think one will run into difficulties if one wishes to define "satya" in general as either "truth" or "reality". If one looks at the use of the word "satya" in the Indian Buddhist and the wider general Indian philosophcal context, it would seem that the semantic range of "satya" covers both "truth" and "reality". In other words, "truth" and "reality" are virtually synonymous - if a thing is real, then it is true and if a thing is true, then it is real. There are some statements in which the word can best be rendered by "truth" and at other times as "reality", but this is perhaps just a product of the semantics of those words in English. In many cases, including that of the four satyas, I find that "fact" would fit best and cover both meanings - if it were not somewhat inelegant, one might want to translate "aarya-satya" as "noble fact" (leaving aside here the question of relationship of "aarya" in this context). Thus, texts I have worked on recently speak of a disciple who recognizes the fact (= truth-reality) of suffering and so forth.
I understand what you are saying about the usage of "true" and "real" --
discussions about the relationship between these two, the epistemological and the ontological, have flourished for centuries in Western philosophy. But viewed in toto, this distinction is less clear in Indian philosophy as a whole and I suggest that our difficulties in rendering "satya" in a Western language arise from the inherent ambivalence of the term and the quasi-conflation of epistemology and ontology in Indian philosphy. For myself, the best translation practice is to translate contextually, perhaps supplying "satya" in parentheses as needed rather than superimposing a Western philosophical distinction which may not be present in Indic languages.

Spring is coming, a perfect time for a party to celebrate a holiday, special occasion or simply the arrival of warmer weather! These local party planners share ideas and tips for the perfect spring soiree.
Elizabeth Cordes, Cosmopolitan Events
--Set the tone. With any kind of party—in the spring you think of St. Patrick's Day, Cardinals Opening Day, graduations, Cinco de Mayo—you want to consider the crowd you're inviting and the atmosphere you want to create, then build the event with that in mind.
--Go green. St. Patrick's Day can be very in-your-face with lots of green and shamrocks. You can throw a party that is more updated and classic if you just use hints of green here and there, and create a menu that is inspired by Ireland. For example, have beer pairings with dinner or a Guiness-infused dessert.
--A new twist on graduation. Focus on the graduate's likes for party ideas instead of the standard cap-and-gown theme. One graduate was headed to Ole Miss, and we found a wonderful linen with the school colors of red and blue that had a very modern design. It felt young but didn't scream graduation, and we were able to incorporate that design into several elements of the party.
--Refresh with signature cocktails. For spring, any citrus-y, light beverage is great. You could do a Paloma for Cinco de Mayo or whiskey and ginger ale for St. Patrick's Day.
--Blooming décor. You can't go wrong with flowers in the spring and look for creative vessels to display them. We just did a rustic look for a party with buds in old medicine jars that spanned the length of the table.
--Bold is better. Use crisp, bright colors in a couple of shades. Many people think of pastels for spring, but that gears more toward Easter. Take cues from the colors of spring flowers, and don't be afraid of mixing and matching patterns, as well.
--Extra details. If you're having a party outside, think of the elements and your guests. For nighttime events, have your lawn sprayed to deter bugs or have a container full of bug spray or insect-repellant bracelets for guests. For daytime events, fill that container with sunscreen. It's a nice gesture that goes a long way.
Sam Orlando Jr., Orlando Gardens
--Functional food. Take advantage of the fresh vegetables in season during the spring. Fill glass containers of different sizes and shapes with brightly colored vegetables and display them as a centerpiece on the buffet table. It makes for a pretty presentation, and you can serve them with dips or a warm cheese fondue.
--Embrace whimsy. For a seated dinner party, try a garden bouquet salad. We take hollowed out Roma tomatoes, fill them with greens and serve the dressing in individual miniature watering cans.
--Free to double-dip. Make individual veggie shots for your guests. Take cylindrical shot glasses, put dip at the bottom and top off with several pieces of carrot, zucchini, asparagus, red pepper, etc.
--Grilling season. Take advantage of the spring grilling season with unique items like grilled pickles (slice cucumbers and grill them before pickling) or grilled lemonade (cut lemons in half, sugar and grill them before squeezing for lemonade).
--Savory lollipops. We make chicken saltimbocca lollipops skewered on bamboo and served on a bed of real wheatgrass. It's a springy, fun appetizer to offer your guests.
--Picnicking. Plan your party with a picnic theme. Use Astroturf as a tablecloth on a buffet, with picnic baskets or small barbecue pits as centerpieces. Red-and-white checked tablecloths and fake ants also are a good addition.
--Décor with a purpose. Instead of regular confetti, use Growfetti, made out of biodegradable paper embedded with wildflower seeds. Scatter the different colored penny-sized flower-shaped pieces on tables or put it in favors for your guests to take home and plant. You can also use flower and vegetable seed packets as place cards.

The stuff kids really need for high school
Here are some easy tips to help you upgrade your childs supplies for high school. more
All kids want to look cool for school ... And although kids all have to wear black shoes, they can stand out just a little bit with super-cool shoelace styles.
So how many ways do you think there are? 10? 15 maybe? If you'd asked me, I would've said 25 at a stretch.
Well guess what? There's actually 43,200 ways to lace up a shoe.
That's right. It's a scientific fact, my friend. A man called Burkard Polster pondered the "how many ways" question so deeply and so legitimately that his findings were published in a respected science journal called Nature.
You can read about Burkard here.
To reach the 43,200 mark, Burkard applied two main considerations.
43,200 ways to lace up a shoe: that's not just deeply impressive, it's also deeply unnecessary.
Which is why I've done us all a favour and whittled it down to the top five with easy how-to tutorials. You are welcome.
So, get your kids ready to put some zing in their back-to-school step with these cool shoe lacing styles!
This method holds very tight because of the doubled laces through the eyelets and is often used to lace military boots.
This cool zipper method is used for lacing skates because the lower sections hold in place while you tighten the rest of the laces up top.
If you want to be really fancy, try this very popular lattice method: the laces form a decorative lattice in the middle of the shoe.
Another fancy decorative method that is often worn on military boots. It looks great on long boots!
This distinctive style is worn by paratroopers and ceremonial guard units.

GDB 34: Unlikely Predators
December 28 2008 04:59PM
Let's start this GDB off by saying we have a special level of hatred for the Nashville Predators. They have no business owning the Oil the way they do. They are brutal. They have terrible ownership, a sparse fan base, a funny logo, a coach with no neck whatsoever and are completely unusable as a team in 2k9.
Yet they stroll in to E-Town with nine consecutive wins against the Oil. Pardon? Four straight at Rexall? Zuh? Former Oiler Jason Arnott team Captain and still a legitimate member of the league's upper class?
Arnott falls into that category of "ones that got away." These are former Oilers that - for one reason or another - left town and yet inexplicably their careers continued after they left. We like our ex-Oilers ruined and depressed thank you very much. David Oliver? Check. Still happy you left after a single good year? Dan McGillis? Right. Smooth move on that one friend. But when an Oiler leaves and continues producing, well that just grinds our gears. "The ones that got away" aren't the Curtis Josephs or the Doug Weights of the world. Those players left for the dollars and cents of the matter and there was little that could be done.
The ones that got away include players who left for reasons other than the dough. We would include Jason Arnott in this category along with a few players of the same era - players like Miro Satan, Kirk Maltby or hell even Boyd Devereaux. Years after these chaps left town we still look down the roster and see a spot for them.
Once upon a time these players were dealt and the good citizens of the OilersNation exclaimed "huzzah! What wonderous news! How happy we will be now that these poorly performing players aren't members of our local hockey squadron." We pitied the teams who had the misfortune of picking up these castaways. We laughed heartily as the other GM issued positive statements about the contribution these players will make to their new teams.
And now, years later, we sit back years later in muted horror and hope that fallen stars like one time whipping boy Jason Arnott doesn't lead his Predators to a tenth straight win over his former teammates.
Damn you Jason Arnott for your continued career. Damn you Nashville Predators for your continued dominance of the Oilers. Damn you Chris Cornell for leaving Soundgarden and Audioslave. Seriously, why would he leave both of those bands?
I guess thats being a God of Rock for you.

So while we wait with the 3rd? oldest building in the league here in the arctic - the oil have some wins - here is an opportunity to move into the upper class with the sens and flames - trouble is this team has trouble accepting that they could be better than 0.500 - any takers

A WOMAN who had just completed a positive pregnancy test went to speak to her estranged husband and discovered his new girlfriend was with him.
Blackburn magistrates heard Sandra Mollet 'lost her self control' and repeatedly punched her husband who had come out to speak to her, locking the door behind him.
Mollet was demanding the other woman came out before she punched her husband repeatedly.
Mollet, 42, of Stansfield Street, Darwen, pleaded guilty to assaulting Craig Mollet. She was given a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £100 costs.
Catherine Allan, prosecuting, said Mr Mollet claimed the relationship had ended nine months earlier and he had formed a new relationship.
"There have been issues with the defendant because of that and messages were put on his new partner's Facebook page," said Miss Allan.
"On this day she turned up at his door kicking and banging and making threats to his new partner."
Miss Allan said Mr Mollet went out of the house, locking the door behind him, and tried to calm his estranged wife.
"She was demanding that his new partner came out and then punched him," said Miss Allan. "He didn't respond and she continued to hit him."
Imran Hussain, defending, said his client said although they had separated they remained married and she had been misled by Mr Mollet.
"She had a positive pregnancy test and the only person who could be the father was the complainant," said Mr Hussain. "She went to speak to him and saw his new girlfriend's car was there. She accepts she lost her self-control."
Mr Hussain said his client accepted the relationship had broken down and she intended to file for divorce.

This may or may not be Signal Express specific but:
We need this for QMS/ISO tracking. Usually with the 'old' DAQ equipment we can record a data file and apply a shunt across all the channels on the bridge board.
We use this data file as proof that the shunt was applied and the output scaling is correct.
If an ISO auditor came in and asked if a strain gaged part was calibrated I'd have no way of prooving it.
Typical ISO audit question:
ISO auditor, "is that part calibrated?".
Me, "yes"
ISO auditor, "how do you know or how does your customer know it's calibrated"
Me (using the 'old' daq), "I scale the input based on a know shunt value then output a log file so my customer can see that I applied the correct shunt value and the 'curve' is correct"
Me (using Signal Express), "there's a strain gage wizard that applies and scales the input automatically based on a set of known perameters"
ISO auditor, "so how does your customer know the scale is correct and you in fact ran this strain gage wizard?"
Me, "...uhhh... there's currently no way to record the actual shunt file. But I remember doing it..."

HI all,
I think that a zero offset step is a "must have" for a lot of applications (mainly in structural tests). I made some tests in SE 2010 and I found a good solution using user interface capabilities with scaling step. The problem is that I cannot save offsets inserted manually for further acquisitions (all controls are setted @ default values when I reopen the project).
It would be nice to have a step able to:
I attached my program. If you have any suggestions, you're welcome!
It might be too unique for general use but I have a specific external device which presents video data on both the leading edge and trailing edge of a clock pulse. I do not believe SE can handle triggering on both leading and trailing edges of a digital pulse. This might be a useful addition.
12-14-2010 12:16 PM - edited 12-14-2010 12:18 PM
To expand on the 'Disable Step' suggestion in post #5 it would be nice to be able to have a range of channels 'loaded' in the Save to ASCII input tab and have the ability to simply check or uncheck the ones you want written to file. Similar to the selection window that pops up when you right-click on a data view graph and select Signals> Add Signal...
There are several instances where I'm acquiring data from multiple sources, however when I record the data I don't necessarily need ALL of the channels. I realize there's the Add Input / Remove buttons but this requires you to select signals one at a time and remove signals one at a time. This becomes a little cumbersome when dealing with dozens of channels. It is very common (for me at least) to toggle back and forth between which samples I'm logging data from.
For visualization purposes I've attached a photoshop screen image of what the feature may look like.
Notice there are multiple 'similar' or even 'paired' signals, to go in and quickly check or uncheck the ones you need would be a nice addition.
Can the Playback Mode… Playback Options… Number of Blocks be a control? I want to be able to set 1 block without having to calculate the appropriate Block Size (samples) based on the Sample Rate and current Number of Blocks. An additional control here may be Delta t in case I want to directly specify the delta time of my block size. The three values can all be controls. Changing the value of one of them recalculates and updates the value of the other two.
When I Import Log Data from another SE Project, is there a reason why I couldn't have the option to save a copy of the Log data folders in my current Project's folder? That way if I am analyzing the data in my current Project I don't lose the link if someone relocates the original data folder.
Add Units to output of Formula Step
I am performing a Formula Step calculation but I don't see any way of including the calculated unit with the calculated value (as you would have when using a Custom Scale in the DAQmx Acquire Step). I want my Display and Exported Data to indicate the calculated unit.
Allow LE version to open/review Projects
I run tests and capture data using my full version of SE. I install the LE version on the Engineers' computers so that they can review the data. The LE version will not open the Project if is has unlicensed (non LE) steps. I understand that NI does not want to allow LE users to run Projects with unlicensed steps. However, I feel that LE should allow the Projects to be opened and viewed so that the Engineer can determine the manner in which the data was captured (Steps, order, settings, etc.) and be able to review/export the Log data without having to suck it into a new Project (Import Logs from another Project).

Prompt for log location: I've been burned more than once when someone else logs data and by default it goes to their My Documents folder, where I can't access it. I know there are places to change this, but I would like a reminder of this. When the popup box for naming the log file comes up, I would like to see the log file save location listed - and an option to change it from that popup. That way, even if your default or project-specific save location isn't set correctly, you can change it when you start your log.
I agree. This happens to me also. I would like to see the Tools...Options...Logging settings for "Save copy of project next to log files" and "Store log files next to project file" in the popup box for naming the log file. Or maybe the Tools...Options settings saved at the Project level instead of the User level. That way the Tools...Options settings could be set to default to the desired settings anytime the Project is opened.

Improve Renaming of Log Files: When renaming log files from within Signal Express, it doesn't rename the log file parent folder or the .txt file with meta data. When the logs are transferred to another computer and opened using another SE project file or DIAdem. It seems to be a local rename instead of a permanent version. I would like to suggest a permanent rename that removes the original name and replaces it with the new desired name.
I agree and would also like to see this improvement. I typically use the Log file name to describe the test conditions. It makes for some very long and cryptic Log names. If there is a mistake in the Log name "test description", I usually have to rerun the test because changing the Log name in the Project does not change it permanently in the Log file (as you have pointed out). This can create confusion if the Log data is accessed from somewhere other than the original Project.
I would like to have a better way to document tests and test conditions than using the Log file name but I haven't come up with anything yet.

Remarks by Ambassador Nicholas Platt, President of the Asia Society
October 17, 2001
Lincoln Lecture - Fudan University, Shanghai
I am honored to give the Lincoln Lecture this year in Shanghai, almost 30 years after my first visit to this great city with President Richard Nixon. Thirty years is considered roughly equivalent to a generation, so I have decided to take a generational view of the ties between the US and China, remembering what they were like a generation ago, analyzing the forces that shape our relationship today, and speculating about what it could look like 30 years from now.
When I returned from China in 1972, I gave a talk to the student body of Brigham Young University in Utah. To give you a feel for our thinking then, let me tell you what I said. My presentation focused on five questions: Why we went to China, what we found there, what we accomplished, how our allies felt, and where we went from there. It all seems so obvious now, and the argument I made--that a peaceful world could not be achieved, and that no agreement on any matter affecting the politics, environment, military, or social balance in the world would have a chance of being successful if a quarter of mankind were left out--seems almost a trite cliché today.
But at the time, with the Cold War at full tilt and the Vietnam War at one of its hottest stages (we were bombing Hanoi even as Nixon was preparing to go to Beijing), there was great nervousness. President Nixon took his trip--now seen as one of the great geostrategic maneuvers in American diplomatic history--with a deep sense of risk and apprehension into uncharted international and domestic political waters. It wasn't until he had met Mao (and there was no guarantee as to precisely when this would happen given the Chairman's precarious health), engaged in hours of conversation with Chou En-lai, visited the Great Wall, worked out the Shanghai Communiqué, and sensed, at his welcome back to Andrews AFB, the overwhelming approval of the American people, that he knew the gamble had paid off.
What we found, of course, fascinated American audiences, who remained riveted to their TV sets throughout the week of the visit. The sights of the trip--warm exchanges of toasts at gigantic banquets in the Great Hall of the People, intense negotiators huddled over tea at green baize tables, scenic visits to the Great Wall and the Ming Tombs--all became commonplace later. But they were brand new then.
I remember commenting to the audience in Utah that the sight of the mobile TV unit parked next to the Great Wall, with miles of wire and satellite communications hooking up the ancient barrier to world TV, was as significant in itself as the presence on the Wall for the first time of the President of the United States. Indeed, it was the television coverage that gained in a week the public support required for a new relationship with China.
And that--the opening of communication with China--was the most significant achievement of the trip. In concrete terms, the results were quite modest. There was no formal establishment of relations (that would take another seven years), no specific public agreement signed, and no secret deals. Only an artfully-worded communiqué which set forth the different positions of each side, clearly labeled as such. The Shanghai communiqué acknowledged the view of the Chinese that Taiwan was a part of China and acknowledged the government in Beijing as the government of China, but offered no solution to the Taiwan question other than that it was to be solved peacefully by the Chinese themselves. The substance of the Nixon Visit enabled us to sidestep our differences on Taiwan and get on with the details of dealing with each other.
I remember sitting in on a meeting with President Nixon and his advisers the night the Shanghai Communiqué was signed. The topic was the positions to be taken with the different Asian leaders by presidential envoys fanning out through the region as the party returned to Washington. I arrived early, along with Secretary of State Rogers to find the President sitting in a flowered silk dressing gown, with a long, fat cigar in one hand and a tall scotch and soda in the other. Mr. Haldemann was there with his yellow legal pad and a fistful of sharp pencils. The special envoys, Assistant Secretary of State for Asian Affairs Marshall Green and National Security Staff member Hohn Holdridge--both leading Asia specialists--arrived a bit later, and the discussion began.
The President, I was impressed to note, did most of the talking. He shaped the approach to be taken with each leader, whether from Japan, Taiwan, or the Philippines, based on his personal knowledge and relationship with each. It was a tour de force, and documented for me Nixon's reputation as the great foreign policy president of his time. After the meeting was over, Secretary Rogers introduced me to the President--whom I had never formally met--as one of the new China specialists in the State Department. Nixon accompanied me to the door of his suite, placing an avuncular flowered arm on my shoulder as we went. "Well," he said, "you China boys are going to have a lot more to do from now on." Was he ever right.
In the immediate aftermath, our allies in Asia greeted the visit in different ways. On Taiwan, the trip was seen as an act of betrayal. The Japanese, who already had much more contact with the Chinese than we, were worried that we were moving ahead of them, and had been shocked that we had not consulted them in the first place. Other friendly countries in the region saw the visit as a welcome reduction of the tension caused by the war in Vietnam and the US confrontation with China.
The long term implications of the visit were, of course, profound. The establishment of a political framework for normal Sino-American relations threw the Soviets off balance, enhanced China's confidence in its military confrontation with Moscow, and enabled the US to deal with the Soviets without the burden of a two front struggle with communism. The visit resulted in a situation that the US had not seen since the 1930s. For the first time since Japan annexed Manchuria in the 1930s we had constructive relations with both Japan and China. This gave us an enormous advantage in the region over the USSR--including both the strategic land-mass along the Soviet border and control over the Pacific seas. This, among other things, enabled us to prevail.
For the Soviets, this was the beginning of the end. Perhaps more important and enduring, the elimination of Sino-American confrontation and the end of the Vietnam War stabilized East Asia, facilitating the onset of an unprecedented two decades of explosive economic growth that enveloped virtually all the countries of the region
But for us "China Boys" as Nixon put it, the immediate tasks were more mundane, though no less pressing. In April 1973, 14 months after the Nixon visit and years sooner than any of us had anticipated, I found myself on a train at the Chinese-Hong Kong border, headed for Beijing with a small advance party to set up the first permanent US diplomatic presence in China in 24 years.
We did not have full diplomatic relations, so we called it a Liaison Office. We started from scratch, working out of two rooms in the Russian wing of the Peking Hotel looking out over the golden roofs of the Forbidden City. My first negotiating task, after years of sophisticated training as a China analyst and policy planner, was to secure adequate drapes and curtains for the residence of our Chief David Bruce. The officials of the Number 1 Flag factory were every bit as tough as our counterparts in the foreign ministry.
We learned that the best way to move around Peking was by bicycle, and more important, biking provided the only comfortable way to way to talk to ordinary Chinese. We were the only US diplomatic office before or since to set aside official time to ride bikes, but this was the way one got a feel for the place and the people. I had moved to Tokyo by the time George and Barbara Bush went to Peking, but they spent time with my wife and I on the way to their new job. When they asked what was the first thing they should do upon arrival, I said "buy a bike".

Dominic Breazeale's story has been well told. A former Div. I college quarterback out of Alhambra High, he didn't even begin boxing until the age of 23, which is rare. More rare is that in just three short years, he became good enough to compete for Team USA in the 2012 London Games.
Breazeale, who played at Northern Colorado, is now a pro and he has gotten off to a fine start, knocking out all five of his opponents ahead of tonight's eight-round heavyweight bout against Lenroy Thomas (16-2, 8 KOs) of Jamaica on the undercard of the Abner Mares-Jhonny Gonzalez featherweight title fight at StubHub Center. Breazeale-Thomas will be televised on Showtime Extreme, Mares-Gonzalez on Showtime.
Breazeale, who has world-class trainer John Bray in his corner, is stoked about his beginning.
"I couldn't ask for anything more," he said. "It's been a great transition from amateur to pro."
The only downer has been that three opponents have pulled out on Breazeale for various reasons.
"I would be 8-0," he laughs, "but it's 5-0."
Breazeale, who is 6-foot-6, talked about the key to getting to 8-0 and beyond.
"I think I have to be patient," said Breazeale, 27. "As an amateur you want to be effective and score as many points as you possibly can. As a pro I kind of utilize that a little bit as far as being a fast, quick-paced type of heavyweight.
"But now I'm trying to slow down and show some more boxing skills, set things up, make my opponent make mistakes and make him pay for it rather than just putting leather in his face."
Breazeale is anxious to get to 10-round fights.
"I definitely believe I'm ready for it now," he said. "Of course, I'm going to wait for my management and my trainer to make that decision for me. This is my first eight-round fight. Hopefully, it's a great showing and they'll say, 'The kid's ready, let's do it.' I'm always up for the situation."
Leo Santa Cruz (24-0-1, 14 KOs) of Lincoln Heights will challenge Victor Terrazas (37-2-1, 21 KOs) of Mexico for his super bantamweight championship tonight on the undercard of the Abner Mares-Jhonny Gonzalez featherweight title fight at StubHub Center in Carson (on Showtime). Santa Cruz, 25, will be trying to win a title in his second weight class as he already has a bantamweight belt to his name. ... Also on tonight's StubHub undercard, Joseph Diaz Jr. (6-0, 4 KOs) of South El Monte will take on Noel Mendoza (6-2, 1 KO) of Phoenix in the featherweight division. Diaz is a 2012 U.S. Olympian. ... Fox Sports 1, which launched last Saturday and televised its first boxing event Monday, will televise its second card Sept. 2. In that one, former welterweight champion Luis Collazo (33-5, 17 KOs) of Brooklyn takes on Alan Sanchez (12-2-1, 6 KOs) of Fairfield, Calif., in the welterweight main event from Cowboys Dance Hall in San Antonio. ... Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KOs) and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KOs) of Mexico are three weeks away from their junior middleweight championship fight at MGM Grand in Las Vegas (on Showtime pay-per-view).

The New School
Gender Bias in Mortality in Developing Countries: Trends, Determinants, and Controversies
The New School for Social Research Office of the Dean presents Dr. Stephan Klasen, who will deliver a lecture titled "Gender Bias in Mortality in Developing Countries: Trends, Determinants, and Controversies."Comments will be delivered by Sanjay Reddy, associate professor of Economics, The New School for Social Research.
Ever since Amartya Sen popularized the issue in 1990 with his claim that there are 100 million missing women in the world, a large literature has emerged studying levels, trends, and determinants of gender bias in mortality. The consensus in the literature has been that this bias is large (but declining slightly over time) and largely concentrated among children (including sex-selective abortions) in South Asia and China. It also has attracted its share of controversies with some claiming that most alleged gender bias in mortality is actually driven by biological differences and others claiming that it is much larger and mostly focused on adults in Africa and India. The lecture will critically review those debates and summarize Klasen's current research findings on this issue.Stephan Klasen is the spring 2013 Theodor Heuss Visiting Professor in Economics, The New School for Social Research, and professor of development economics and empirical economic research at the University of Göttingen, where he also heads the Ibero-American Institute. Previously he was professor of economics at the University of Munich as well as a fellow at King's College in Cambridge and an economist at the World Bank in South Africa. His research interests are in population, labor, welfare, and development economics. He holds a BA, MA, and Ph.D. from Harvard University. His current research interests include an assessment of the relation between labor market events and demographic decisions at the household level, an analysis of the determinants of undernutrition and child mortality in developing countries, the linkages between inequality, growth, and well-being, and the causes and consequences of gender inequality in developing countries.

"I ordered ten 5 X 7 folded cards recently. There was no text added to the cards such as Thank You, Happy Birthday, etc. They were just plain folded cards with a picture I had recently taken. The cards arrived in the time frame promised. The cards were folded neatly and the correct number of envelopes were provided with the cards. The picture I selected was on the front of the cards. The colors in the picture on the cards were as vivid as they appeared on my computer in Shutterfly. I will not hesitate to order this type of card again."
"The cards look great and just as the file uploaded does on my moniter but the system to make cards online is set up for picking one photo and ordering 20 cards, ex: holiday cards. I am a photographer and sell photo cards and need to order different numbers of different photos in one order. It is very time consuming and each one has to go through the same many steps from upload to cart, rather than just a one click system to change the photo and add to cart. Add one to cart and then have to go back to step one, in "my projects". Can order 1 card each or 5 and up, not 2 or 3, huh? I needed 2 of 6 different photos for recent small order and had to order 2 separate orders of 1 each with separate shipping by having to re order the same thing, ONE BY ONE. Not cost effective for consumer or company! With all the easy systems online for making books and cards, this one could be updated to appeal to more than just the person making holiday cards or invitations, etc."
"Shutterfly continues to deliver high quality products. The photo quality is top notch; the paper selection is excellent (sturdy); and... I really can't say enough positive things about Shutterfly products."
"Quality cards - a great deal since the only cost was shipping. Plus they came in quickly ~3 days. What more can anyone ask for? Thank you!"
"I really love the folded 5x7 cards !! There are so many to choose from too. I love how my thank you/miss you cards came out : ) I can't wait to make more !!"

Hot Hot Heatley
Jason Gregor
June 09 2009 11:07PM
With Dany Heatley announcing he wants out of Ottawa and into the Western conference you can bet that 14 teams in West are preparing their offer. The Wings can't take Heatley because he makes more than Lidstrom and that goes against their policy, not to mention Zetterberg and Datsyuk make less as well.
It is rare to see a superstar traded for a superstar. The last time it happened, Heatley was dealt for Marian Hossa. In the West, there are only two players that fit the bill for this to happen again.
Rick Nash and Dion Phaneuf.
Those trades are at least plausible, although with Phaneuf only 24 and Nash 25, I wonder if the Jackets and Flames would have some reservations.
No other team in the western conference has a guy that would be a realistic option. The Ducks aren't moving Getzlaf for Heatley. Getzlaf brings way more to the table. The Oilers, Blues, Wild, Avalanche, Stars, Canucks, Sharks and Coyotes have no one even close. Luongo has one year left on his deal, and the Sens have Leclaire locked in at $3.8 million.
Guys like Shea Weber, Duncan Keith and Anze Kopitar would get the discussion started but aren't enough straight up.
So let's look at some realistic options, and take into account age, salary and the Sens' needs. Their most glaring need is a top two D-man, and those are hard to find, or at least a proven offensive D-man. They need some scoring depth, preferably a LW, but if he can score and plays C or RW they will take him.
I said the Wings are out, and I can guarantee that Heatley doesn't want to go to the mess in Phoenix. We can argue all day about which destinations are the best, but I'd rather look at who can make viable offers.
Remember that it is very rare that teams come close to giving up fair value when acquiring a top-end talent in his prime. The Oilers fleeced the Blues when they got the Human Rake, the Ducks fleeced the Oilers for the same Rake and the Sharks fleeced the Bruins for Jumbo Joe. Ask Habs fans if they got market value for Patrick Roy.
The Blues got Brewer, Lynch and Woywitka. The Oilers got Lupul, Smid and 1st and a bonus 1st because the Ducks won the Cup. The Bruins got Sturm, Stuart and Wayne Primeau. The Habs got Kovalenko, Thibault and Rucinsky while Keane went with Roy.
One of the best players traded recently was Brad Richards to Dallas and the Lightning got Jeff Halpern, Mike Smith, Jussi Jokinen and 4th rounder for Richards and Johan Holmqvist. The odds are the Sens won't get as big a return as many will predict in the next few weeks.
They have loads of cap space and lots of good young prospects. Would Alexander Frolov and Jack Johnson be enough? With a prospect involved it would be close, as long as Johnson doesn't actually want $5 a season. If he does he'll be sitting out for a long time.
Vlasic and Ehrhoff are the most attractive on the back end, but it would take them plus a good forward to get the convo started. Marleau and his $6.3 million is not a contract the Sens would want. The Sharks biggest problem is that they only have 13 guys under contract and I don't see them parting with Boyle. Doug Wilson has a reputation of making surprise moves, so you can't rule out the Sharks. If the Sens could get Clowe signed then I could see the Sharks getting involved, but they would have to move Marleau after because they would have way too much salary (over $52 million) tied up in 13 guys.
How good would Joe Nieuwendyk look if one of his first moves was to acquire Heatley? The Stars have cap space to play with, but do they have enough to entice the Sens? The Sens would love Morrow but I don't see the Stars trading their captain. They have no one who is close to a top-two D-man, so I don't see them being in the hunt.
They always seem to be involved in trades. The Whitney for Kunitz deal surprised many, but they wanted him to replace Niedermayer and the Human Rake. If they move Whitney their backend becomes pretty thin. They have three young guns in Getzlaf, Perry and Ryan, but after that they have no forwards that would entice the Sens. I think the Sens would take Ryan, but I doubt Anaheim wants to move him.
Nash straight up would be interesting, but I doubt we'll see that. Scott Howson has some good young players and decent depth on his backend. Would a Hejda, Klesla and Voracek get the convo started? I think it might. The Sens need some depth on the backend and while neither of those two is overly offensive, they can comfortably play 20 minutes each. Rumours are swirling that the Jackets might have to trim some salary, so I wonder how it would look if they bring in a guy making $7.5 million.
They love Shea Weber and he only seems to be getting better. This would be gutsy move by the Preds, but Poile has shown a propensity to make those moves in recent years. What about Suter, Erat and Tootoo? The Sens would add just over a million in salary but they'd get three players, and Tootoo could replace Chris Neil.
Would the Blues part with young Erik Johnson? Larry Pleau would love to make a splash and get a gunner like Heatley and could make a reasonable offer of young guys. Would Jackman, Oshie and Perron be too much or not enough proven talent? The Blues have Boyes and Backes as well. I think Pleau and the Blues have to be considered a legitimate option. The only problem is if Heatley didn't like Cory Clouston, is there any chance he'll play for Andy Murray?
They have lots of young talent but none are proven scorers just yet. Does Dale Tallon try to speed up the process and get a sniper? Trading Keith might not seem wise, but he only has a year left before he gets a big raise. I think the Hawks could put together the best offer; the question is whether Tallon wants to let his young guys grow together or try to win now? Toews and Kane seem untouchable, but Sharp, Barker and Versteeg could still be a great package. It will be interesting to watch if Tallon gives up potential for proven value. I'd go with the proven value.
After watching them hang their coach out to dry, the expected retirement of Joe Sakic, and no top end D-man that would fit the Sens' need I don't see any way that rookie GM Greg Sherman gets into the sweepstakes.
Chuck Fletcher would love to land Heatley to replace Gaborik. Maybe he gives the Sens permission to talk to Gaborik and if they come to a contract agreement they trade snipers. The Sens might want another body, because of Gaborik's health history, but a Gaborik for Heatley deal would make for a great debate on who won the deal. I don't think Johnsson, Zidlicky or Schultz is good enough as a starting point for a three-for-one deal. Outside of the Gaborik longshot I don't see the Wild being involved.
It is interesting to hear how Phaneuf is perceived amongst fans and the players. In a recent poll he was voted the most overrated player in the game, while many others still see him as a Norris Trophy candidate for many years to come. The only way the Flames can bring Heatley back to his home town is by dealing one of their big tickets. I can't see them moving Iginla or Kiprusoff so that leaves Jokinen and Regehr. No chance the Sens take Jokinen, so if they don't want to part with Phaneuf it would have to be Regehr. The problem is the Flames don't have any forwards that would interest the Sens, unless the Sens would take Cammalleri. And if he wants over $5 million I don't see that happening. Heatley's parents live just outside Calgary, so the Flames will be in the hunt, but would they deal Phaneuf? Would you Flames fans?
Many of Mike Gillis' best assets are UFAs in the Sedin Sisters and Ohlund, but could a package of Bieksa, Kesler and the speedy Raymond land him Heatley? It might, but that would leave the Canucks with eleven players signed for only $35 million, and that would end any chance of re-signing the twins. Maybe Gillis gives the Sens permission to talk to the Sisters, and if they can sign them for $11 million maybe he'd take Heatley and Filip Kuba. The Sens get some offensive depth, and the Canucks don't trade part with a signed player. Bryan Murray will look at every option to try and keep his team competitive.
The Oilers have depth at the one position the Sens really want; offensive D-man. Souray and Visnovsky have NMC in their contract, and their age probably doesn't intrigue the Sens, but Gilbert and Grebeshkov are two guys the Sens would like. Gilbert has more value around the league, so a package would have to start with him. Gilbert, Cogliano and Pisani would at least get them in the conversation. Maybe the Sens ask for O'Sullivan instead of Pisani. The Sens will have no interest in Penner, Horcoff or Nilsson. So that limits the Oilers in what package they can offer, but a Gilbert, Cogliano, O'Sullivan package seems comparable to what the other teams will offer.
Heatley has a 4 million dollar signing bonus due on July 1st, and since you can't exchange money in trades, you'd expect this trade to occur before then. You'd expect Murray to move him before then, because once teams start to sign UFAs that would reduce the amount of teams that could afford Heatley's large salary.
I think it is realistic to say that there are 10 teams in the West who have a realistic shot of offering the Sens a package they would like. The biggest hurdle will be if Heatley agrees to go to that team. To me it is absolutely ridiculous that a player asks for a no-trade clause and then one year later wants to get traded.
Either way many teams, and their fans, will be hoping to land one of the few proven snipers in the league.

@ Curious: @ Jason Gregor:
Oh good grief. I thought we sorted all this out back in March - you know, <a href="http://www.oilersnation.com/2009/03/department-of-obvious-statements-ales-kotalik-edition/"when I looked at every goal Kotalik scored this season.
To quote from that article:
Anybody have any idea how many points Ales Kotalik has this year at even-strength? 14. Let's take a good look at the number 14 and see how it fits into the Edmonton lineup. 14 is less than half as many points as the Oilers leading even-strength scorer, Ales Hemsky (29). It's exactly half as many points as the Oilers other new acquisition at left wing, Patrick O'Sullivan (28). It's almost exactly half as many points as the Oilers best centre, Shawn Horcoff (27). In other words, it's well back of the pack. 14 ranks fourth among the Oilers left wings. We've already discussed O'Sullivan, but Dustin Penner (22) and Ethan Moreau (22) are also well ahead of Ales Kotalik in even-strength scoring. Even Robert Nilsson, with seven fewer games and "inconsistent" as the first word in every scouting report this season, has 11. But, you say, perhaps Kotalik's having an off year? Last season, Kotalik had 19 even-strength points – 11th best among Sabres forwards. In fact, among regulars only Adam Mair, who played seven fewer games had less even-strength points (17). There are plenty of advanced stats I could trot out to support my statement here (and yes, I've trotted them out before), but when you're sandwiched between Marc Pouliot and Robert Nilsson in even-strength scoring, I shouldn't have to.
As for the Reddox comparison, I doubt anyone actually bothered to click on the link - if you did, it's rather self-explanatory. Last season Liam Reddox scored more often (relative to ice-time) at even-strength than Kotalik has in two years. This isn't rocket science - this is obvious stuff guys. Even-strength points divided by even-strength ice-time multiplied by an average amount (in this case, 12:00 minutes per game over 82 games).
As for Kotalik's superficial totals (goals, assists, points) he's been one of the best powerplay pointmen in the league over the past two seasons. He's absolutely lethal - something which I think became crystal clear when I reviewed his goals from this year and should be obvious to anyone who watched more than say 5 games when Kotalik was in Buffalo.
June 11 2009, 04:31PM
In 2006 they were in an even worse position at the deadline, and they also made some moves for rentals (Samsonov). Even after these moves, they would have been considered to have a slim chance of making it out of the 1st or 2nd round, but look what happened. Once you're in the dance, you never know what's going to happen, and I'm sure that's what they were thinking about with sending that pick for Kotalik.
At this point, it's easy to look back and say it was a waste, but what if they had squeeked in and Kotalik had helped them knock off the Sharks and Wings? You don't know how this is going to play out at the deadline.
June 11 2009, 09:28PM
So you think Reddox is better than Kotalik? You said earlier that O'Sullivan was a much better five on five scorer than Kotalik, but the stats don't show it. So what was the point of bringing Reddox into the discussion.
We can all use stats to back up which angle we want to defend, but to bring in Reddox when he wasn't part of the comparison at any point, makes no sense.
You like O'Sullivan that is fine, he'll probably play in the league for many years, but you have yet to show me anything that proves he isn't more than a low end second line player at this time. Which was my original point.

Well He did finish in the mid 20's in points for either wing position in 07/08 and mid 30's this past year, that's fairly good proof that he's better then a low end 2nd liner.

Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company Presents GOATS
Journey with a 20-something guy from Chicago on a pilgrimage to self-discovery in a new comedy set with 160 goats in the mountains outside of Jerusalem. This young man has been backpacking through Europe when he finds himself in need of a job and begins to work for a cheesemaker. Each day he treks into the mountains where he must wrestle and wrangle with the goats, and each night he struggles to understand the language of a cheesemaker who barely speaks. Colorful characters contribute to the backdrop of this nearly unbelievable yet true, poignant, coming-of-age story. A hit in a shorter version at the Minnesota Fringe Festival in 2004, this solo piece is a story not-to-be-missed.
Goats by Alan Berks will receive its area premiere at the Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company (MJTC) March 5-27, 2011. Playwright Alan Berks is the author of ten full-length plays, six one-acts, and numerous short plays and monologues that have been seen in Minneapolis, Chicago, San Francisco, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Indianapolis, and New York. Goats was seen in Phoenix, Indianapolis, Chicago, and New York where it was nominated for a New York Innovative Theater Award. He co-created and co-produced Thirst Theater from 2004-2007. Alan created and edits Minnesota's performing arts website MinnesotaPlaylist.com. He is also the Director of Communications at Pillsbury House Theatre in Minneapolis.
Goats is a solo piece that will feature Ryan M. Lindberg. Ryan was most recently seen by MJTC audiences as David O. Selznick in Moonlight and Magnolias last season. Previously, he appeared in MJTC productions of Modern Orthodox and The Twilight of the Golds. Other stage credits include Guthrie Theater, Gremlin Theatre, Park Square Theatre, Illusion Theater, Walking Shadow, and Milwaukee Shakespeare. Ryan hails from Apple Valley, MN, and is a graduate of the University of Minnesota / Guthrie Theater BFA Actors Training Program.
Goats is directed by Michael Kissin. Michael has been working in the Twin Cities for over 20 years as a director, actor, writer, and college educator. He directed Talley's Folly at MJTC, and was seen at MJTC as Larry Levin in Boychik. Mike is a long-time member of Mixed Blood Theatre where he directed How to Improve Your Golf Game and A Jew on Ethiopia Street to name a few. Other directing credits include Park Square Theatre, Theatre in the Round, Theatre L'Homme Dieu, and Minneapolis Community & Technical College.

Updated from 10:25 a.m. ET to add additional analyst comments in the sixth paragraph.NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Groupon ( GRPN) you know is dead. If the company's goods segment can't save it, perhaps nothing will. Groupon's third-quarter earnings report badly missed Wall Street consensus, as the daily deals segment of the business continued to struggle. The company reported a loss of $3 million, or break even on a per-share basis, on $568.8 million in revenue. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were looking for earnings of 3 cents a share on $590.12 million in revenue. Revenue rose 32% year-over-year, but Wall Street was looking for more. The daily deals business is to blame, said Stifel Nicolaus analyst Jordan Rohan, but the company's saving grace, Groupon Goods, may help pivot the company as it tries to compete more with the likes of Amazon ( AMZN) and other shopping sites. But Groupon hasn't done enough to earn investor confidence. "Right now, investors are not likely to give Groupon the benefit of the doubt. Accounting issues aside, investor trust in the core Groupon business model and management team is insufficient to take that leap of faith," Rohan wrote in his note. He noted that the company is pivoting from a high margin company with the daily deals to a lower margin e-commerce company. Rohan has a hold rating on the stock with no price target. In a press release, Chicago-based Groupon noted Groupon Goods is now doing $1.5 billion in global billings on an annual rate, and has done "nearly $500 million in revenues shortly after its one-year anniversary." JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth is positive on the Goods segment, saying growth "...has been impressive though it's coming at the expense of local deals and Goods have a lower operating margin profile relative to local deals." He rates Groupon at neutral. When Groupon began to really gain prominence during the recession in 2010 into 2011 prior to its initial public offering, investors were talking about this company in an extremely positive light. Google ( GOOG) reportedly bid $6 billion for the company at the height of its popularity, only to be turned down. The company's market cap was $2.56 billion at the end of trading Thursday.

WINTER PARK, Fla. - Women using skincare products containing retinol should be cautious when it comes to waxing.
Jennifer Dixon said she just wanted to look good for the holidays, so she decided to get her eyebrows waxed.
She went to a reputable salon that she'd visited previously but while she was getting waxed she immediately knew something wasn't right.
"It was bright red," said Dixon. "It just looked like skin had been ripped off, a whole layer of skin."
When she went to her dermatologist, she found out a topical ointment she had been using that contained retinol was likely the cause for her beauty ritual blunder.
"One of the effects is that it makes the skin cells less likely to stick together," said Dr. Kathleen Judge, who owns Central Florida Dermatology. "Because the skin cells don't stick together as tightly as they normally would when you wax, that force of pulling the wax off the skin, it rips the skin off deeper than it should."
Judge said retinol is a common ingredient in both over the county and prescription anti-aging and acne topical creams.
It is also contained in the oral medication for acne that is commonly known as Accutane.
Judge said people using any topical products that contain retinol should cease use for about five days before waxing.
If taking an oral acne medication that contains it, Judge said to avoid waxing altogether.

It is the most leftover time of year, is it not? Which raises the very important pizza storage question that is the subject of today's poll: How long do you let leftover slices linger? For some, this may be related to the way in which they store their pizza. (Long time Slice'rs may recall the our own Ed Levine has some "questionable pizza practices" in the storage department that dictate the rate at which his leftovers need be consumed.) No judgement here. So how long does a leftover slice stand a chance in your kitchen?

Did Roy Hibbert really cry?

Did Roy Hibbert really cry?
He was probably reading PD on his phone and all the vitriol we were (justifiably) spewing his way.
If we are trying to be positive in any fashion, our defense is stellar.
He's losing every game by a couple points and is without the teams best player and team captain.
It's not his fault the front office gave him the worst bench ever and allowed Granger to wait all offseason to get surgery. I still can't believe they knew about this right after the playoffs and they didn't do the surgery during the offseason. This new front office is brain damaged.
I can't even get myself excited about this team. I just haven't been sold on it and caught up on Homeland and Boardwalk Empire tonight instead of watching the game. And this is coming from someone who watched that entire wonderful year when we had Kareem Rush. Didn't miss a game that year.
Wonder if Vegas have odds for Vogel fired before the All-star break.
The good news is, I think its a lot easier to build an offense, then a stellar defense.
Would be pathetic if he did given how much money he makes. The Simson's should be the ones crying having to pay for a 7'2 center that shoots 40% and can't even grab 10 boards.
I hope so but that would require competence from the FO. I don't see that happening.
I'm particularly appreciative of Tyler Hansbrough. He seems to have made some strides on the defensive end. Anyone agree?
Idc what you say, losing to a team coming off a triple overtime game and missing their best player is just a joke. Yes Roy missed a bunch of layups that proved to be the difference, but this team is obviously not responding to Vogel right now.
His lack of X's and O's were always offset by his ability to get the team to play harder than everyone else--with that no longer the case, we're screwed.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
The one thing I don't entirely get is the extreme backlash at Vogel. The offense is as vanilla as it gets, but the roster isn't exactly well put together. Especially since the entire offense is predicated on Roy Hibbert's ability to score in the low post. If that isn't happening, we are in DEEP ****. And it's not.
If Jerry Sloan really wants to coach again, the Pacers should snag him up. Don't be like IU and hold on to Vogel too long.
brian shaw please
Possibly. The refs were so appalled by this game that they stopped calling fouls in the fourth quarter. I mean Tyler was mugging people left and right with no call.
Look guys.
... You know what? I had about a 3-4 paragraph post about how we're still going to be a playoff team and things are going to eventually gel, and even if we aren't a #2 seed that does not mean we aren't going to be a force come playoff time. I really believe that.
But I know that no one is going to listen and it's just going to get flamed, so instead, I deleted that and you get this:
I'm certainly disappointed Lance didn't get in the last few minutes.
It may not have mattered, but then again, there were several possessions down the stretch where we needed a good entry pass and some sanity around the perimeter. Paul George choked numerous times. It may have made the difference if Lance had the ball on just one of those possessions.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Stan Van Gundy wouldn't be bad for this team either. But I really don't think Vogel is on the hot seat or even the main problem right now.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.

NEW YORK — Coty Inc.'s long-awaited initial public offering is reportedly set to launch with shares to trade on Thursday, according to published reports.
The $1 billion-plus IPO is expected to be a hit, bankers reportedly said. The beauty company will not get any money from the IPO. Majority owner Joh. A. Benckiser will be selling a stake worth $806 million at the upper end of the expected price range, according to reports. Private-equity firms Berkshire Partners and Rhone Capital are selling equal stakes worth $126 million at the upper range.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the deal could raise up to $1.22 billion, including the possible sale of extra shares to underwriters. That would make it the largest U.S.-listed IPO ever for a consumer-products company, according to the WSJ, which cited Dealogic.
Last year, Coty filed to raise as much as $700 million in an IPO. That filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission came about a month after the beauty company dropped its bid for Avon because of Avon's "delay and unwillingness to engage in discussions." However, the company ended up postponing the IPO to give its new CEO Michele Scannavini time to acclimate to the post, according to reports.

Dear Carolyn • My father was a nightmare. When I was a kid, he would tell me I was "a b just like your mother" and throw things at me; he even threw me down the stairs once and broke my arm. By the time I was 13, I realized I hated him and wanted him gone. Eventually I convinced my mother to leave him. I was 15 then and it's been about 10 years since I've seen or spoken to him. Over the years, my father has sent me cards on my birthday and other holidays, telling me how much he loves and misses me but never acknowledging what he did. He always sends sizable checks, usually several hundred dollars. I've always cashed the checks and thought of the money as child support he owed me. Now I'm done with school, have a good job and don't need the money, but the checks keep coming. On the one hand, I feel he still owes me a lot. On the other hand, through the process of repairing my relationship with my mother, I've found I no longer hate my father. I've come to understand he is mentally ill. If I were a better person I could donate the money to people who need it more than I do, but if I cash the checks I'm most likely going to spend the money on myself. I've been thinking the right thing to do is release him from my life permanently. What do you think?
Dear Torn • When someone has been through what you have, I'm inclined to vote for whatever you believe will help, as long as it isn't destructive. Your idea for releasing him is not a destructive one and yes, the way you describe it makes perfect sense to me. There's one thing that stops me, though: "If I were a better person." That's both an alarm and an opportunity. The alarm is self-evident, since you spent your formative years being systematically put down. That means putting yourself down, even with just a throwaway comment, is no throwaway matter. The opportunity: Depositing your father's check and writing another for the exact amount to an organization that, say, helps abused kids, or aids the mentally ill, or supports struggling parents to help break the abuse cycle, might provide you with a surprising source of strength and validation.

"Re-live all your old parent/teacher conferences!"
I want to admit, up front, that this review is written from a very personal point of view. It might have just triggered something in me. I don't know. But I feel it's only fair for someone with the trait to hop in and give their honest reaction.
Adults with AD/HD have been told their whole lives to "try harder" while, in reality, we're trying as hard as we can. Lack of clarity and proper guidance - showing us the details that we can't see - is what has been part of so many misunderstandings. This book uses so many generalizations ("try replacing bad habits with good ones"...ok, HOW?) that much of it comes off as Tadlock telling us those two words which are like a knife in the soul of an ADDer: "try harder."
The book is written from the "disorder" model, often as though the person listening to/reading it is too dumb or too broken to understand what is going on and that there is some unseen adult in the room that the book is actually addressing. Yes, the book is about a condition that I have, but I always felt that my humanity was not addressed. In the eyes of this book's author, I'm just a problem. A manifestation of a disorder. It was like I was back in 5th grade and the teacher was telling me information which was actually intended for my parents' ears - just to make me feel like I was included.
It says that it talks about the strengths of AD/HD (and there are many), but halfway through it I haven't found a single reason for anyone to feel good or hopeful about having this trait. It's a trait, Martha. The message seems to be something along the lines of: well, you're screwed, but here are some horrifying drugs and expensive treatments you'll have to take in order to be viewed as anything close to a normal, functioning adult - which you'll never really be anyways.
If I had found this book early into my treatment for this TRAIT I would have tossed my ritalin in the toilet and gone back to self medicating because there is only the most marginally positive, condescending silver lining which doesn't even present itself until the majority of the material is done telling you how broken you are. But it's not your fault, so I guess that is cause for hope?
When someone has performed their function in the most basic, C-level way I've found that it's fun to tell them "job" as a form of non-praise, non-critique. They did, in fact, do their job. Not well, but not poorly. If I were to be directing this recording session I would look the narrator squarely in the eye and tell her, "job" with the utmost sincerity.
This question doesn't make any sense. Why would you put this question on this book, Audible?
Any information found in this book can be easily found by scanning the first three search results you get when you search for "adult ADD." If you're totally new to the AD/HD game, this might have some use but the tone is also so atrocious that I'd worry that anyone using this as their first point of educational contact would just want to give up on any possible future plans, goals, or happiness. I suppose it's ok for people who don't have the trait, but again this would probably cause them to look down on those who do.
It's not overtly negative, mind you. It's just very antiquated in its outlook and that is really apparent in its tone. I didn't think to look, but I imagine that this book was written some time in the 90's when research on the (may) positive traits of ADHD was minimal. Someone without the trait might read this and think that it's all very appropriate and not condescending at all but, to me, it just felt like so many discussions I've had with people who had an intellectual, brochure-level understanding of what I was going through yet still thought that it was totally appropriate to tell me that I just need to pay attention more or to "try harder" when I was already using every ounce of effort I had.
The book only talks about the problems of ADD and its solutions on the surface. I haven't learned much from this book.
This book started out pretty good. It gave some of the answers I was looking for. It offered good tips but most of them I've tried already. The best thing about this book was the dietary information and how food impacts ADD. I am mostly disappointed with final chapter. The author attempts to describe ways that ADD can be beneficial, however, I could only relate to the sense of creativity but not the others. I kept thinking to myself "well, that's definitely not me!" It was short and sweet and to the point. Just what us ADDs need!
"Boring and Empty"
.. it's a very basic overview... but it leaves you so bored and unconnected that it doesn't do any good.
I just started 'Delivered from Distraction' on audible and it's just what I had been looking for: a comprehensive science based overview of my condition with a compelling narrative. Don't buy this. Get that instead.
she was fine. the book was boring. she didn't have much to work with.
a 20 minute of boring documentary you'd see in a middle school science class doesn't get a tag line.
"Good Brief Overview"
This is a good book for someone who is looking for a general overview of Adult ADHD. Do not expect an in depth description and analysis in a book that is read in only 45 minutes!
"I know..."
Narration was great. Content was a little bland. I know I struggle with ADD but most of the suggestions like "If you loose things a lot, try making a place to put them regularly so when you need them, you know where to find them." are a little on the "no s**t Sherlock" side. I will try the diet tips as they made sense. Brainwave entrainment was mentioned but never expanded on...or I zoned out :-) I will listen again.
