Thought it was a foul. It wasn't. Why didn't they call the timeout?
what the hell, take the timeout
Why didn't we take a time out? Were we out of time outs?
Reverse Chris Webber.
Why they didn't call a timeout there? oh well.
no time out? ....this team sometimes is just achingly, awe-inspiringly stupid at times
I rarely complain about the refs but damn that was simply sad.
PG was WIDE open. Just saying.
bad loss...
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
Dumb not to take the timeout. What on earth is the motivation for that?
Yup, take away those 4 free points and we win.
18-8 in turnovers
efff these refs..
blown call on miller falling down.. - 2 points for them
stevenson gets pulled down by magee when he gets a rebound - nuggets get ball
george hill fouled on the 3pt shot.
I want a new coach. Just another example of how we could be a better team than we have been. Frank has bad rotations, never times his timeouts correctly, and has no idea how to call a good play out of a timeout even if we took it anyway.
Are you sure you wanted the time-out...?
Trophy sleeping on the job.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
If you think that was a foul on the last play of the game your just bitter.
Postgame thread?
It's time like this that I wish Indiana was some sort of media market the size of new york cause the media would absolutely eat that ignorance alive and you damn sure wouldn't be making mental errors like that again.
I am bitter and that was a foul..
Defender left his feet flying in the direction of the shooter. The shooter has the space to shoot and momentum carry him forward. He did not jump sideways to create contact. Therefore a foul should of been called.
Did you miss the contact? That gets called ALL the time.

After Three Years of Silence, A Poem
Christian Wiman's pen went silent for three years. Poetry about the ineffable just didn't seem fitting during his intensive bouts of treatment for cancer. And then, one day in what came as a shock to him, he sat down and wrote the line:
God goes, belonging to every riven thing he's made
The lines flowed into what Mr. Wiman describes as a "highly formal" poem, "Every Riven Thing," which would end up being the title of a book of poetry. On its face, the poem may appear to be a villanelle, a poem that repeats two lines in every stanza and uses two rhymes throughout the poem. But the syntax of that one line changes in every stanza — and with each change, a nuance of meaning shifts:
God goes, belonging to every riven thing he's made
sing his being simply by being
the thing it is:
stone and tree and sky,
man who sees and sings and wonders why
God goes. Belonging, to every riven thing he's made,
means a storm of peace.
Think of the atoms inside the stone.
Think of the man who sits alone
trying to will himself into a stillness where
God goes belonging. To every riven thing he's made
there is given one shade
shaped exactly to the thing itself:
under the tree a darker tree;
under the man the only man to see
God goes belonging to every riven thing. He's made
the things that bring him near,
made the mind that makes him go.
A part of what man knows,
apart from what man knows,
God goes belonging to every riven thing he's made.

I sure am getting tired of waiting for the"great" Homer Bailey to start fulfilling
his expectations. I think he doesn't have it between the ears and will always just be a below average pitcher in this league
I sure am getting tired of waiting for the"great" Homer Bailey to start fulfilling
his expectations. I think he doesn't have it between the ears and will always just be a below average pitcher in this league
The starting pitching problem we have doesn't end with Bailey.I hope things turn around.Where I thought we had depth,now looks thin.Hopefully Willis carries over his stats and Wood,Volquez(I still hold out hope),and Arroyo begin to pitch like we know they can.
May the Lord bless
I don't know that he's below average now. I think he's more average...if he could cut out his brain lapses he can still be very good. Even with those lapses he's been better than Arroyo and Volquez this year, minus the part where Homer gets injured on the regular.
Good point about his past injuries...and it usually seems to be his shoulder, which is trouble
How come when Bailey gets beat up it's a "brain lapse" and he "doesn't have it between the ears" but if it's anybody else they just got beat? There is a creeping anti-Homer bias going through this board and let me tell you, Homer Bailey is the least of worries right now. Bray is going through a funk. Coco is going through a funk, Bronson has just been BAD and the offense hasn't been able to score until the past couple of nights.
Bailey is still young. I can't see trading him yet. He has improved every year. As he gets more experience, I believe he will develop more confidence and be less subject to failing under pressure. Every person is different and it may take Bailey a little more time to adjust to pressure. Anyone can tell you how mental this game is, and you have to be relaxed to play it well. Give him some more time. What we want is for all these young players we have to gel at the same time. That is what it's going to take to win a championship.
There are always times where players just need a change of scenary and both sides will be better off. I think that this is the case.
Nice game Homer
He is not young anymore...he will be out of this league in 2-3 years so he is relatively old.
I'm not convinced we have a game plan. We pitch great against teams we play all the time, then......in interleague and against the NL East, we struggle.
Advanced scouting.
It's funny - in his next game he'll pitch well and be back to being the future ace of this team. He is close to the whipping boy of the pitching rotation.

Ohio To Observe Its First Vietnam Veterans Day
Ohio observes its first Vietnam Veterans Day this week a year after Gov. John Kasich signed a bill into law to honor veterans of the war.
A week of events commemorates the day's first observance, including the display of a traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall replica. The replica goes on display Tuesday at the Ohio History Center in Columbus after an opening ceremony.
The Ohio Department of Veterans Services says there also will be panel discussions on issues including veterans' experiences and perspectives on the war and its aftermath.
A closing event at the Statehouse on Thursday will be followed by a final remembrance ceremony Friday at the center.
While Vietnam Veterans Day is officially Saturday, observances are being held earlier to avoid conflicts with Easter weekend.

Ron Rivera has admired Jim Harbaugh's work ethic since the two were teammates on the Chicago Bears in the 1980s.
But as NFL head coaches, they couldn't be more different on the sidelines. Rivera, a Marina native and 1980 Seaside High graduate, appears even-tempered as he walks the sidelines for his Carolina Panthers. 49ers coach Harbaugh wears his emotions on his sleeve.
"Jim is very intense,'' said Rivera, whose parents still live in Marina. "He wants to win. But he has fun. There is no reason not to have fun. There's no reason not to be competitive. I admire the guy," he said in a phone interview this week.
That admiration as a player has translated to the coaching ranks for Rivera, whose Panthers host the 49ers on Sunday in the NFC divisional playoffs (10 a.m., Fox).
"I've watched what coach Harbaugh has done as a coach,'' said Rivera, a linebacker on the Bears' 1985 Super Bowl title team. "This goes back to his days at Stanford.''
To a degree, Rivera has emulated what Harbaugh has done, building the Panthers around defense, a running game and a young, athletic quarterback.
"We're built similar,'' Rivera said.
Yet, while Harbaugh is an offensive-minded coach, Rivera is a defense guy, having orchestrated top-ranked units as a defensive coordinator in Chicago and San Diego.
The Panthers defense harassed the 49ers in their regular season game Nov. 10, holding them without a touchdown in a 10-9 win at Candlestick Park — one of two teams this season to keep San Francisco out of the end zone.
Some looked at the game as a signature win for Rivera and the Panthers, who rattled off their fifth straight victory by beating the 49ers to put themselves in the playoff picture after a 1-3 start.
"It was a big win, but I don't know if it was a signature win,'' Rivera said. "We beat the defending NFC champions in their yard. But there have been a lot of big wins for us this year.''
Most have come at home, where the Panthers have won seven straight since falling 12-7 to Seattle in their season opener.
"We're still growing into what I envision,'' Rivera said. "It's a work in progress. We have gone through some injuries. We're still rotating guys. We're still learning to become a good football team.''
Rivera has the Panthers pointed in the right direction, taking over a 2-14 team in 2011, and going 6-10, 7-9 and then 12-4 this season.
"There are a lot of positives,'' said Rivera, whose defense is ranked second in the NFL, having held eight opponents under 15 points. "Things are headed in the right direction.''
Carolina's defense dominated the 49ers on Nov. 10, holding them to 151 yards total offense. The Panthers sacked Colin Kaepernick six times, holding him to a career-low 91 passing yards.
"The quarterback looks much more comfortable and confident,'' Rivera said about Kaepernick. "I don't think he sensed things as well that day. He was pressing and trying to make too many plays. Now he seems to be in a groove.''
In the first meeting, Rivera didn't have to plan for 49er receiver Michael Crabtree, who was injured. And tight end Vernon Davis went out in the first half with a concussion.
"The 49ers are a different team with Crabtree,'' Rivera said. "If you watched the Green Bay game, Crabtree wasn't always the primary target. It's easy to get caught up in Davis and Anquan Boldin.''
Crabtree had more than 70 receiving yards on the 49ers' first drive and 125 yards for the game in their 23-20 win over the Packers on Sunday.
"You have to account for all three,'' Rivera said.
As dangerous as Kaepernick is with his legs, Rivera has a quarterback who can do damage on the ground as well in former Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton.
Newton, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft, threw for 3,379 yards and 24 touchdowns this year, while finishing as the team's second-leading rusher with 585 yards and six touchdowns.
"We have a quarterback who's pretty dynamic and exciting,'' Rivera said. "We have to use Cam's skill set. Cam has gotten better each year. Remember, the young man only played one (full) year of Division I football.''
If there is one game that sticks out for Rivera, it came in Week 2 when a decision he made ultimately cost Carolina in a 24-23 loss to Buffalo, dropping them to 0-2.
"That one hurt because I felt it was my decision not to go for it on fourth down that cost us the game,'' Rivera said. "There were a few games we should have won. But I learned more from that loss than any other.''
Rivera became more aggressive in his decision making from that point, earning the nickname "Riverboat Ron."
Climbing out of a 1-3 start to the season turned each game into a playoff-type battle. So Rivera felt the week off last week was good for the Panthers.
"People forget that we had a bye after Week 3,'' Rivera said. "Every game became a must win. We were chasing New Orleans. We had the 49ers and Arizona on our tails. Every week has been so intense.''
For someone who has played in a Super Bowl and has been an assistant coach in the Super Bowl, being a head coach in a playoff game feels different — special.
"It's pretty exciting,'' Rivera said. "Obviously it's completely different as a player. As an assistant, you are one of the guys. But as the head coach in the postseason, I'm the one in the middle of it all.''

Daily Prayer 2014-06-02
Listen to podcast version here.
John 16:29-33
The disciples said to Jesus: "Now you are
talking plainly, and not in any figure of speech. Now
we realize that you know everything and that you
do not need to have anyone question you. Because of
this we believe that you came from God." Jesus
answered them, "Do you believe now? Behold, the hour
is coming and has arrived when each of you will
be scattered to his own home and you will
leave me alone. But I am not alone, because
the Father is with me. I have told you this
so that you might have peace in me. In
the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I
have conquered the world."
Introductory Prayer: Lord, I believe in you and all that you
have revealed for our salvation. I hope in you
because of your overflowing mercy. Every single act of yours
on this earth demonstrated your love for us. Your
ascent into heaven before the eyes of the Apostles
inspires my hope of one day joining you there. I
love you and wish you to be the center
of my life.
Petition: Lord, give me an
unwavering confidence in your victory over sin and evil in
my life and in the world.
1. Jesus Knows Our Weaknesses: Jesus warns his disciples that they will all flee
from him in the Garden of Gethsemane when the
guards come to arrest him. He is preparing them
not for their fall, but for their recovery. He never
expected them to be perfect, without flaws, mistakes or
shortcomings. He doesn't expect it of us either. There
have been times when we have all abandoned him to
follow the selfishness of sin. We sought our own
pleasure, as he sought the nails of the cross
and the scourging of the lash. Where am I struggling
right now? Am I wavering over a compromise with
sin in my life? Ask him for the strength and
light to live as his faithful friend.
2. Trust in the Father's Presence: Even
as the disciples left him, Jesus was not alone. His
Father was with him. This essential union of love
in his life with his Father was the strength
that carried him forward to embrace the cross. He could
be calm in the midst of the storm and
endure unimaginable sufferings during his passion and death. Jesus
lights the way for us in the midst of our
own struggles and trials in life. It is natural
for us to feel isolated from everyone when we
are suffering and struggling, alone in the pain and the
emptiness of our life. But God is with us;
he is within us. We are never alone.
3. His Victory is My
Victory: Jesus never promised his disciples an easy
life. He was very clear with them that in
the world they would have trouble. It is the same
for us. If the world has rejected Christ, it
will reject us. We can't be surprised when opposition
and difficulties come our way. It is part and parcel
of following Christ and shows that we are heading
in the right direction. It is hard to keep
fighting, fighting the enemies within and without, but Jesus is
with us. We need faith to see that he
has won the victory. He has overcome sin and death
and he is there at the right hand of
the Father.
Conversation with
Christ: Jesus, it is hard to keep
fighting. Sometimes it seems I make little progress. I have
the same struggles and difficulties every day. I'm overwhelmed
by the evil I see in the world, and
it can be hard to see your victory in many
places, in many families and homes. Give me the
hope that I need to keep seeking your will in
all things.
Resolution: I will pray for those who
are struggling in their faith.

IgotaFeva, I don't know what kind of Tivo unit you have but I have the dual tuner R10 deck from Directv. It has two USB ports but they aren't active from what I've read. I've never actually tried to connect it, but I thought about trying a USB-to-ethernet adapter....The only way I can transfer stuff from Tivo to PC right now is to put the Tivo capture on a VHS tape and then capture it from the VCR to the PC, and then encode to Divx......
If there is an easier way, I'd like to know it!!!
i got MTV but hardly watch it so if the clips not to big and some one does upload it that be great for all
Don't let Jerry win! Best watch your MTVs.

They should have punked JO, by having him come into Birds office and tell him that reggie is returning and that after the success the team had with Reggie leading the offense. JO would now be relegated to third option because they feel that a good swingman duo will be better.

BASTA Study on STI in HIV Infected Patients
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This is a single center, independent study. The primary objective is to compare efficacy and safety of continuing a conventional HAART in chronically infected HIV patients with a therapeutic strategy based on long term, immunologically driven treatment interruptions. Evaluation will be based on clinical, immunological and virological response.
Patients will be randomized in a ratio 1:2 to one of the two treatment arms:
Control group continuing the ongoing therapy STI group performing long term CD4 guided structured treatment interruptions In the STI arm patients will stay off therapy until their CD4 count will drop < 400 cells/mcL. At that time point patients will resume the HAART regimen they were assuming before STI and will continue HAART until they CD4 count will raise > 800 cells/mcL and their HIV-RNA will drop below the detection limit of 50 copies/ml. When both the CD4 count and the viral load will be within these pre-set values they will stop therapy again. There is no limit to the number of interruptions and re-start cycles during the study period The study is powered to evaluate equivalence between the two strategies under the assumption of a failure proportion in the control arm at each time point not greater than 5% and a maximum allowed difference of 15%.

He's supposed to be the weak link of the Heat's Big 3. Chris Bosh has been called soft, inconsistent and not aggressive enough by his critics.
Yet, in Sunday's loss to the Lakers, his absence proved again how valuable he truly is to Miami. Heat coach Erik Spoesltra calls him the most important piece in the Heat's success. While that may be an overstatement on the coaches part, his assessment isn't that far off.
The Heat had no inside presence against Los Angeles. Andrew Bynum took advantage and Miami had no answer. Did you see all the action Juwan Howard and Dexter Pittman got in key moments? That's not the formula for the Heat to win.
Bosh may not be a force to the level of LeBron James and Dwayne Wade, but he quietly goes about his business providing offense, rebounding and defense.
That's right, that so-called "soft" Bosh is actually one of the more aggressive players Miami has on the roster.
He gets the key rebounds, is able to knock down the big shots when James and/or Wade are double-teamed and he's not afraid to push bodies around. For those who didn't believe that, Sunday was just another reminder of it.
Yes, LeBron is having an MVP season, and yes, Wade has the championship experience, but without Bosh, Miami is not the same team.
You don't believe me? Just watch the last two games. Both losses.
The good news is Bosh will be back Tuesday night when Miami hosts New Jersey. He missed three games to attend to family matters after the death of his grandmother. The Heat is hoping he was able to deal with the tragedy and is now ready to come back strong.
They sorely missed him, Losing two games is never a good thing, but if anything, it proves to all Miami fans and all of his critics how vital Bosh is to the Heat's success.

Tony Nominations: Cyndi Lauper's 'Kinky Boots' gets 13 nominations
NEW YORK (AP) - The Cyndi Lauper-scored "Kinky Boots" has earned a leading 13 Tony Award nominations, with the British import "Matilda: The Musical" close behind with 12.
"Kinky Boots" is based on the 2005 British movie about a real-life shoe factory that struggles until it finds new life in fetish footwear. Lauper's songs and a story by Harvey Fierstein have made it a crowd-pleaser.
"Matilda: The Musical" is a witty musical adaptation of the novel by Roald Dahl and is true to his bleak vision of childhood as a savage battleground.
The nominations were announced Tuesday in a televised event co-hosted by Tony winner Sutton Foster and "Modern Family" star Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
The awards will be broadcast from Radio City Music Hall on June 9.

Suspect in Grass Valley break-ins arrested
February 3, 2014
A man suspected of several recent break-ins on Little Valley Road was arrested Thursday on trespassing and drug charges.
A flower nursery in the 15000 block initially called at about 10:15 a.m. to report finding a skylight that had been tampered with in a possible attempted burglary. The business' alarm had gone off at 1 a.m., according to dispatch reports.
The business apparently had video of the suspect, who had left items behind, said Nevada County Sheriff Keith Royal.
Dispatch reports also indicate a call at just before 1 p.m. from a trailer park on Little Valley Road, reporting a burglary of a storage shed. At just after 1:30 p.m., a caller reported that the suspect in the theft was under a trailer; another caller reported the suspect had been breaking into houses in the area, according to dispatch reports.
"The man was sleeping under the porch," Royal said. "He was wearing the same clothes as the man in the surveillance video."
The man, identified as Jared Michael Cline, 27, reportedly had a warrant out of Placer County. A deputy searched him and reportedly found he had a small baggie of a suspected controlled substance, as well as medication he allegedly admitted he planned to sell and three syringes.

He was booked into county jail on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance for sale and trespassing. He was being held in lieu of $36,750 bail.
Cline had been arrested in Grass Valley on Jan, 22 and charged with trespassing and possession of a controlled substance.

When Blackwell was elected to the commission in 2005, he was the youngest commissioner serving Hamtramck, Highland Park and parts of Detroit. he lost in a primary in 2005.
Both Blackwell's father and grandfather were also Wayne County commissioners.
His aunt is a Wayne County probate judge.
A county government insider told Local 4 that Blackwell is involved in several businesses, some that failed and others that have thrived. He's considered a hardworking businessman.
Blackwell's attorney, Gen Gonek, has not released a statement and Detroit Police Chief Logan said he won't be commenting on the situation involving his son-in-law.
Gonek is also representing Blackwell's father, Art, who is awaiting trial on embezzlement charges.

For my last few blogs, I wrote about my encounter with the Food Babe at the BlogHer Food convention in Miami, Florida in late May. Since I discussed Food Babe's theories on GMOs, food production and animal agriculture, it seems she's been the subject of increased scrutiny and media coverage (finally!), so I thought I'd provide an update.
In early June, 2014, Vani Hari (AKA the Food Babe) launched a comprehensive attack on "big beer," writing in her blog:
"I have to confess, my husband loves beer. So I had to figure out the truth. There is a long list of ingredients allowed in beer – like high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, stabilizers that are linked to intestinal inflammation, artificial colors, ingredients found in airplane de-icing liquid, genetically modified ingredients, even fish swim bladders.
But, why are the ingredients not listed on the label? What's really in beer? Which brands can we trust to avoid these additives?"
Just days later, Anheuser Busch InBev, and close running rival SabMiller, were clamoring to appease this Food Bully, by posting their ingredients on several websites and tweeting out summaries of their actions.
Perhaps what was more interesting to watch—since my up-close-and-personal interaction with the Food Babe herself, was how some in the mainstream media finally called her bluff on the whole thing (and thankfully so).
In an opinion piece, titled: "Quackmail, Why You Shouldn't Fall for the Internet's Newest Fool, Food Babe," Forbes Magazine contributor Trevor Butterworth questions not only Ms. Hari's legitimacy, but the reluctance of the mainstream media to fact check her most basic claims.
Wrote Butterworth: "That the media should give The Food Babe a free pass as an expert or as a credible consumer watchdog is especially troubling when you look at some of her other claims, as recorded by the doctors at Science-Based Medicine. As infectious disease specialist Mark Crislip MD noted, Hari out goops Gwyneth Paltrow on the feelings of water by claiming that if you expose water to the words "Hitler" and "Satan" it will change its physical structure in exactly the same way as if you microwaved it. She believes getting the flu shot will give you cancer from all the "chemicals." She is, naturally, against GMOs."
And Butterworth wasn't the only one—in the span of several days, dozens of blogs and opinion pieces showed up on the interwebs, heralding Food Babe as everything from a
"food nazi" to "the Jenny McCarthy of the Food Industry," to, a big, fat, bully (I was admittedly jealous my previous blogs hadn't taken off in the same way).
Cancer expert David Gorski wrote in a blog that Vani's strategy is to "name a bunch of chemicals and count on the chemical illiteracy of your audience to result in fear at hearing their very names."
Don't we know that.
But despite the epic—and I mean epic—smackdown that Vani was taking on the internet by bloggers, columnists and health experts alike—she didn't go down without a fight. Instead, she dug her heels in and made even greater demands of the makers of Bud Light and Miller.
In a follow-up post just days after the beer giants capitulated to her demands, Vani maintained that they hadn't satisfactorily revealed all of the ingredients in some of America's most favorite libations.
Wow. Girl's got some cahones—that's for darn sure.
I just wish that the food industry had some.
As Gorski noted, "companies live and die by public perception. It's far easier to give a blackmailer like Hari what she wants than to try to resist or to counter her propaganda by educating the public. And, make no mistake, blackmail is exactly what Vani Hari is about."
You see, Vani Hari is no different than HSUS, PETA or the Pew Commission—they're all bullies with agendas. And those agendas include tearing companies, people and anyone/anything that stands in their way down, in order to build themselves, and their organizations up.
So what if Subway and Anheiser Busch lose market share and have to layoff employees? So what if farmer Joes' family gets death threats as a result of an undercover video campaign?
It's time that we in the ag industry go back to basics and remember our schoolhouse rock. The best way to fight a bully? Don't engage. Walk away. Ignore them.
I hope that the food brands that purchase meat, milk and eggs learn a valuable lesson from beer's blunder—if you give a bully an inch, they'll take a mile.
That's just what Vani tried to do, but I think she got more than she bargained for.
Karma's a you-know-what, Vani. You don't mess with beer.

LAFAYETTE — A businessman from New Iberia on Friday pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography, Attorney General Buddy Caldwell said in a news release.
Philip deMahy, 51, pleaded guilty to 10 counts of possessing pornography involving children, the Attorney General's Office said.
DeMahy was jailed in November after state and federal agents found child pornography on his computer, the release states.
DeMahy, an advertising executive, pleaded guilty in front of state District Judge Charles Porter in New Iberia.
Porter set sentencing for April 4, when deMahy will face sentences of up to 10 years on each of the 10 counts, the release states.
The case was prosecuted by the Attorney General's Office, with the investigation conducted by State Police with assistance from the FBI, according to the release.

Real Steel
One thing I have learned in my decades of investing is that very few sure bets present themselves in any given year -- except going with the current SEC champion against any Midwestern team for college football's BCS title at a neutral field. That said, every dog eventually has its day. Stocks and sectors that have underperformed for months or years can be the strongest performers in the months and years ahead. Good examples of this are banks and homebuilders. Both sectors were lousy investments for years but turned around in 2012 to be among the best market performers over the past 12 months.
The steel sector and the companies that supply the industry have underperformed the overall market significantly since late spring. Concerns about a slowdown of worldwide growth, poor pricing, overcapacity and a rough patch in the Chinese economy all contributed to a decline in the sector. Skies seem to be brightening, however, with rising prices and more certainty around demand from China. The sector has started to bounce back.

Day 6: Robaina's New Wrapper
Posted: Feb 11, 2008 10:17am ET
The tobacco in Robaina's fields looked so good last week. It was bright green, large sized, clean, and ripe. Hiroshi Robaina, 32, the grandson of the legendary tobacco grower Alejandro Romania, said that it was the best tobacco the family had seen in their fields in the last 15 years. Check out the video.
Granted, I have heard such hyperbole before, especially from Alejandro. I don't think he is a bullshiter. He is just excited about his crop. And last year's apparently was not very good for him or anyone else in Pinar del Río. So he was very keen about this year's harvest. The 2006/2007 growing season was just too hot to grow tobacco properly. So the crop, particularly wrapper, was very short. Only God knows what that means for cigar production this year or next. Getting a straight answer on the subject from Habanos S.A., the global distribution and marketing company, is almost impossible. Sometimes it's almost easier talking to a paint-peeling wall in Old Havana.
This year's tobacco crop should make up for the 2006/2007 shortfalls, assuming the good weather holds out. It's been near-perfect for the entire growing season since the bad rains in October and November. But the rains were worse in the center of the island, where floods were prevalent. The wet weather in Pinar simply delayed some of the planting. The Robainas expected to finish their harvest in the next two weeks. Yields should be at record levels.
I was amazed how beautiful the new hybrid tobacco looked in their fields. Capero No. 1 was first planted on a large scale last year, and the Robainas, and other growers, are very happy with the results. Look for yourself at the video. The leaves on the top of the plant look as large as Conneticut leaf. Unbelievable. Although the Robainas planted some Corojo 99, about four-fifths of the plantation is in Capero No. 1. It is a cross of Habanos 2000, Corojo '99 and Criollo '98.
With Capero No. 1, the plants have two or three more leaves than other hybrids. In addition, the leaves are larger and the resistance to tobacco diseases such as blue mould and black shank is much stronger. One other point is that the Capero No. 1 does not produce flowers and, therefore, seeds. The Cubans have been very unhappy how seeds of Corojo 99 and Criollo 98 have found their way to fields outside of Cuba. For example, they are widely planted in Nicaragua at the moment.
The government's tobacco institute can control all the seed on the island, in theory. I don't see what the big deal is, if some Capero No. 1 managed to find its way into unwanted hands. Where ever it goes, the climate and soils are not the same as in Pinar del Río. Capero No. 1 could not deliver the same character in other parts of the world. It's like grapes. Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot from Bordeaux produce a completely different product in Northern California or South Australia.
Hiroshi says that the Capero No. 1 is easy to dry and later process, and he says that the flavor is excellent as well. I remember when Habanos 2000 came out and it was too thick and didn't ferment properly. The flavor was good but it didn't burn. It later became very susceptible to blue mould. Luckily, the same doesn't appear to be true with Capero No. 1 – for the moment.
It was really hot under the tapado as I walked through a small part of the plantation with Hiroshi just after lunch. You can see that all the primings of leaves had been picked, except for the corona, or top part of the plant. They had left them an extra week to assure proper ripening. These are the leaves that often find their ways on dark wrapper cigars such as Edición Limitadas or Cohiba Maduro 5s.
In any case, Hiroshi is doing a wonderful job running the estate with the help of his grandfather, father and uncle and a small army of workers. Can't wait to smoke some of their wrappers from this year in the not too distant future. Capero No. 1 looks like it is here to stay for a while.

The stars and stripes atop a flagpole along Asheville Highway will fly until the two men who hoisted that American flag return home from a military mission overseas.
"I just wanted them to know how much we appreciate them for their service and sacrifice," said Pam Stoutt. The payroll clerk at Star Construction Inc. hatched the idea of adding a flagpole to the entrance of that construction company after learning two more members of their staff were about to head out on a year-long deployment.
"We try to support these type guys. I mean I hate that they have to be deployed because we're losing a good employee during that time but they've got their job back when they get back," said company president Allen Stoutt.
Stoutt noted about 10 percent of the 500 people in his company are military veterans and he said many more employees have family members who have served in the military.
"I think it is very important that we, that live and breathe this freedom every day, thank those people," explained Mr. Stoutt.
Jared Freeman is one of the citizen soldiers with the Tennessee Army National Guard unit headed to Afghanistan. Of the almost 80 pilots and mechanics on that deployment close to 50 have day jobs outside the military. Mr. Freeman has operated heavy equipment for Star Construction, Inc. for close to a half-dozen years. He was surprised by the send-off breakfast and flag pole dedication put on by his employer.
"It was heartfelt, it really is and I appreciate them for it," said Mr. Freeman inside a hanger at the McGhee Tyson Air Base earlier this month just before he said goodbye to his wife and two girls, ages 8 and 18 months.
"Not everybody understands what we're going through and just to see them do that is touching," said Mr. Freeman.

I just started playing a few weeks ago and I am hooked.
I had bought a package on ebay that included a Innova Starter Bag and I already want a better bag.
I read the reviews on the site and most people seem to like what they have, so they were not completely useful. The bag that seemed to be best is the Revution Team bag.... is this the general consensus? Is there is a less expensive alternative that is almost as good?

There's still a restaurant called Bohemia in Hot Springs, and by all accounts it's a fine a wonderful place that serves some of the best food in the Spa City. I haven't eaten there for a variety of reasons, but mostly because I just don't find myself in that part of town to eat very often these days. That wasn't always the case, though, because the Bohemia, the original Bohemia, was not only one of the best restaurants the state of Arkansas has ever seen, it remains one of the greatest restaurants I've ever eaten at anywhere. I don't recall my first meal at the place, nor my last one, but I can think of several spirited dinners that took place over sauerbraten and schnitzel, and it remains the only place I've eaten a Baked Alaska worth talking about.
Fans of the old Bohemia will remember Adolf Thum, the gruff and garrulous owner and chef who, along with his wife, kept a clean restaurant and ran a tight ship. Always eager to strike up a conversation with his diners, I can recall many a night where he would regale us with tales of his exploits as a Merchant Marine in the 1950s, cooking for upscale hotels in New York and Chicago as a slightly older man, and how he used to only pay his own son $20 for an entire weekend's worth of work in his kitchen. I was a younger man then, and ate several meals with friends who might kindly be described as "hippies" — long hair and afros were the order of the day. Thum gave those guys no end of hell about their hair, swearing up and down that if any man during his days at sea had let himself go like that, the other sailors would steal his clothes and shoes, telling their scruffy compatriot that "the Holy Ghost took them."
Apart from his quirky, yet friendly nature, the man could cook. Homemade bratwurst, Bavarian style sauerkraut, roast duck, and the aforementioned sauerbraten and schnitzel were all favorites of mine. It was Thum who taught me the difference between the cuisine of Western Germany and his homeland on the border between Bavaria and the Czech republic in the east. It was Thum who explained to me the first time what it meant to braise a cut of meat, and how soaking a piece of beef in wine could both tenderize its texture and temper its flavor. And it was Thum who came to his restaurant at 5am every Sunday to prepare his specialty: a steamed dumpling that is still the most perfect platform for any kind of sauce I've ever eaten. These dumplings were, in size and shape, like slices of French bread, but steamed. The texture was silken, pillow-soft and while neutral in flavor, Thum would share the method of their eating with all newcomers: let the thing soak in the sauce of your dish until you were almost done, then eat with gusto. It became the favorite part of any meal I ate there.
Thum retired and closed his restaurant in 2007; I found this out only when I went to take my then-new girlfriend (and future wife) to dinner there just a few weeks after the shutdown. I can honestly say that it was a moment of pure loss for me, and the grief I felt was like that of losing a friend or loved one. That may sound silly to some of you — but I'll bet you never had Thum's pickled beef. I wish I had some pictures of the food from those days, but I had yet to stumble into this whole food-writer career. What I do have is memories, of a warm dining room, good food, and one of the most unique men whose food I've ever had the privilege to eat: Adolf Thum.

Lust probably has little do with it. I mean, how could this possibly work? Consciously develop a desire to trick yourself into exercising? I don't think so. Consider sanity instead. It simply makes sense to maintain a healthy body. Therefore it makes sense to spend effort towards that goal. It is connected to the ability to act upon reason.

Remember those times when developers would lash out at console transitions? It seems like a lifetime ago now.
And all Sony and Microsoft had to do to change their opinion was make them wait seven years before releasing a new console.
So delighted at the belated PS4 reveal is EA that EA Labels president Frank Gibeau has declared that "transition is our friend" and promised that the publisher will hit the ground running when the PS4 arrives later this year.
"Yesterday Sony unveiled the PlayStation 4, signalling that after seven years, gamers will be treated to a massive leap in technology, creativity and fun," he wrote.
"For EA's creative teams, this transition comes as no surprise. We've been investing and innovating on new technology for months. Console partners who have seen our early work agree, EA's next-gen software is nothing short of astonishing.
"And every bit as impressive as the console initiative is the way our teams have pivoted to capture the mobile phenomenon. EA has established a clear leadership position on both the iOS and Android systems and we've set new standards for business models and gameplay.
"Console transitions are a complex and challenging experience. I've helped navigate several and agree with an old saying we have at EA: Transition is our friend. All the trend lines are converging to reward the creative and financial investments we have made in mobile and console technology.
"We have never been more ready or more excited about what comes next."

Why I'm standing with President Obama
When my partner Jeff Brotman and I opened our first warehouse in Seattle in 1983, we started with nothing but our own initiative and our personal credit cards that we used to pay for our startup expenses.
Almost 30 years later, we have 605 stores and 160,000 employees—Costco is America's second largest retailer, and as you probably know, the foundation of our business is serving small entrepreneurs with everyday products folks need to run a business.
You might be seeing some ads or hearing some folks say that President Obama doesn't support small business owners. But he understands that small businesses grow and prosper because of individual initiative—because entrepreneurs like you and me do the hard work it takes, and that we can't do it alone.
My own story is proof—I come from a very humble background, and I truly believe that I couldn't have succeeded in any other place but America. I got a good, affordable education from a state university. I had the chance to pitch my business plan to investors, and they heard and supported me. Thanks to a strong nationwide transportation system and infrastructure, we've opened warehouses across the country and around the world.
President Obama is focused on creating an environment where small businesses can succeed, with the support of our government, our communities, and each other. That's why he's cut taxes for small business owners 18 times, and signed into law $200 billion in tax relief and incentives paid out over the past three years to encourage businesses to create jobs, invest, and grow. I'm proud to support him in this election.
Don't let Mitt Romney's misleading ads or false attacks tell you otherwise—President Obama's support for small business owners is unwavering.
Watch this video to get the facts, then fight back by passing them along.
I truly believe there's no other country in the world where we could have been as successful.

Fair Trade USA Coffee Innovation Program: 2012 Results
Coffee Imports Up 18%; Cooperatives and Pilot Farms Benefit
Results are in for the first year of Fair Trade USA's Coffee Innovation Program. We're pleased to report that imports of Fair Trade Certified coffee increased 18% across the board in 2012, benefiting both new and existing Fair Trade farming communities.
Launched as a series of pilot projects in early 2012, the program focuses on extending the benefits and opportunities of Fair Trade to farm workers and independent smallholders, who represent the vast majority of the coffee farming population but have historically been excluded from Fair Trade. It also focuses on strengthening existing Fair Trade cooperatives--building business capacity, improving quality, and increasing competitiveness.
After a year of monitoring and evaluation, we learned that:
- In 2012 cooperatives exported 18% more Fair Trade Certified coffee to North America than the previous year, for a total of 163MM lbs. These sales resulted in $32MM in community development premiums.
- The number of cooperatives from which Fair Trade USA's North American partners sourced grew by 23%.
- Only 0.2% of all Fair Trade Certified coffee imports in 2012 were from pilot farms; 99.8% came from co-ops.
- 100% of the Fair Trade coffee sold by pilots was Fair Trade Organic coffee from Brazil – 175,958 lbs.
- Total Fair Trade Organic imports from Brazil increased by 50%. Overall Brazilian Fair Trade imports remained steady.
- New products were created using both pilot coffee and coffee from existing Fair Trade cooperatives. In one instance, the pilot coffee drove increased sales for cooperatives in other countries.
Impact on Cooperatives:
- All pilot purchases in Brazil were from new business, and did not replace existing co-op purchases. This includes purchases from buyers who had never purchased this coffee before, or who converted new SKUs to Fair Trade.
- Pilot purchases directly benefited co-ops in other countries. In 2012, at least one SKU was converted to Fair Trade using part FTO pilot coffee, and part FTO coffee from cooperatives outside of Brazil. These Fair Trade co-ops had been selling into the blend for years, but hadn't received premiums becuause the coffee could not be labeled as Fair Trade. Fair Trade USA has strict guidelines for label use, requiring that a bag of coffee be 100% Fair Trade Certified to bear the logo. With the onboarding of a Brazilian estate pilot, all coffee in the blend is now Fair Trade, and the co-ops are beginning to receive Fair Trade prices and premiums.
Looking Ahead:
As of October 2013, 12 groups have been brought into the pilot program, representing 9,000 independent smallholders and farm workers in Africa and Latin America. Nine of these groups have been certified.
Fair Trade USA acknowledges that the 2012 sample size is small, and more time and information is needed to truly understand the longterm impact of this work. This is why we've developed a comprehensive Impact Assessment Process in partnership with organizations like CIAT, Catholic Relief Services and United Farm Workers to track, analyze and report on the outcomes of the pilots from a variety of perspectives.
With 2 billion people living on less than $2 a day, 65% of whom work in agriculture, Fair Trade has a very real potential to empower all small-scale coffee farmers, both organized and independent, as well as hired farm workers, to fight poverty through better trade. That's why we're so committed to learning all we can from the pilots, to partnering with others for greater impact, and to including more people in Fair Trade in the years to come.
We welcome open, honest dialogue around this work, and encourage people to send any questions, comments or feedback to our Director of Coffee Innovation, Miguel Zamora (email@example.com).
