NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Apple ( AAPL) shares were falling in trading midday Monday, off 1.16% to $540.70, reversing earlier gains as rumors hit about the company's next smartphone, the iPhone 5S. Apple is reportedly starting trial production on the iPhone 5S. This comes just three months after Apple announced the iPhone 5 to significant fanfare. The technology giant has also come to terms with Taiwanese handset maker HTC over patent litigation, with HTC reportedly paying between $6 and $8 per handset, according to Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu. Apple has amped up its patent litigation in recent weeks, as it believes Android, Google's ( GOOG) mobile operating system, infringes upon several iPhone-related patents.
Research In Motion ( RIMM) shares were rising, gaining 2.57% to $8.76, after the company announced its BlackBerry 10 platform would launch early next year. In a statement, RIM said the launch event will happen on Jan. 30, 2013, taking place in multiple countries around the world. The company said the first two BlackBerry 10 smartphones would also be unveiled at the event. "In building BlackBerry 10, we set out to create a truly unique mobile computing experience that constantly adapts to your needs. Our team has been working tirelessly to bring our customers innovative features combined with a best in class browser, a rich application ecosystem, and cutting-edge multimedia capabilities. All of this will be integrated into a user experience -- the BlackBerry Flow -- that is unlike any smartphone on the market today," said Thorsten Heins, president and CEO in the press release.
Microsoft ( MSFT) shares fell 1.73% to $28.33 after CEO Steve Ballmer called sales of the company's Surface tablet "modest." Ballmer was interviewed by French newspaper Le Parisien; he cited limited availability online and few retail stores as the reason for the slow start to sales. Interested in more on Microsoft?

Aebleskivers are a delightful, Danish confection that marries the texture of a pancake with the airiness of a popover. Typically aebleskivers are filled with apples or other delights, but many recipes in the United States are simply puffs of sweet dough. If you serve these with powdered sugar or drizzled with chocolate sauce for breakfast on Valentine's Day, you are sure to surprise and delight your sweetie. Aebleskivers require a special pan which may be hard to come by locally. Amazon, Target and other online retailers sell these, though, so you can probably get one by Valentine's Day if you desire. This recipe uses our Buttermilk Pancake Mix, but you can make these from scratch, as well.
Bob's Aebleskivers
- 2 large Eggs, separated
- 2 Tbsp melted Butter
- 1 cup Water
- 1-1/2 cups Buttermilk Pancake Mix
- 2-4 Tbsp Powdered Sugar (for garnish)
Step 1
In a medium bowl beat egg yolks until pale. Stir in buttermilk pancake and waffle mix, water and butter until blended.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Fold into egg mixture. Generously butter each aebleskiver cup. Heat aebleskiver pan according to manufacturer's instructions.
Step 3
Fill each cup 3/4 full with batter, cook until bubbly and set around edges, about 1-1/2 minutes. Turn 1/4 turn with a fork or wooden pick to brown other side. Continue 1/4 turns each 15 to 30 seconds until lightly browned on all sides and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Dust with powdered sugar for garnish. Serve warm.
Makes about 20 aebleskivers.

Topic: Alpha Lipoic Acid..
Does anyone take this? Somehow I've never come across this previously but in researching supplements to fight liver disease this seems to be at the top of the list. I worry about pushing too many pills but this sounds very beneficial and I couldn't see where it had any adverse side effects.
Thanks, Mary

ROME - I hate to quote anything from "Jerry McGuire," but I sense that my developing theme on what occurred last night in St. Peter's Square is "You had me at hello."
Those of us in the media rooms here in Rome have been doing a little head-scratching, trying to figure out how Cardinal Bergolio wasn't THE leading candidate going into the conclave, much less on the short list.
After all, he reportedly had the second most votes the last time around in the conclave that chose Pope Benedict.
(To be honest, I don't remember anyone pointing that out before last night.) But such is the humble yet rich profile of the Archbishop of Buenos Aires.
The headline today in one of the Italian papers is "Papa dei Poveri" -- the Pope of the Poor.
His simple and down-to-earth approach to his ministerial life is the stuff of legend among many of the priests here; he does his own cooking, answers his own door, and takes the bus.
But to the many who filled St. Peter's, he was a relative unknown, and the announcement that he'd been chosen came in Latin which made for a lag effect for the crowds who understood a bit more slowly than those hearing the translation on television at home. But the word "Francesco" sent an ooh and ahh through the square, and his choice to honor one of the most beloved saints of the Catholic pantheon.
St. Francis of Assisi, was a piece of brilliance (whether he intended it as marketing or not). And then look at his immediate choices upon being introduced.
He chose a simple white cassock rather than a red papal cape and stole. He chose to wear his own simple cross rather than one encrusted with jewels.
(Imagine the array of choices from the Vatican collection; Harry Winston could not compete.) And then in his opening remarks, his very introduction to most of the Catholic world, rather than bestowing a top-down blessing to those below him, he implored the crowd, "I want you to bless me."
Now, despite the warm glow of last night, and the joy and exuberance which filled the square (and, you'd have to believe, the hearts of those assembled) not all is suddenly well with the Roman Catholic Church.
The wounds of the pedophilia scandals remain stubbornly unhealed.
The Vatican bank is swamped with suspicions of ties to gangsters and money laundering.
If the reports of its existence are believed, there is a thick document detailing a tawdry and frightening array of blackmail, prostitution, and skullduggery. And the Vatican continues to struggle with shortages of those called to serve the church and those called to worship in its philosophical confines.
It will take a while to learn whether the conclave found a sheriff to clean up that nasty part of town.
But Pope Francis may have something more important on his side already --- believers.

Softball legend Abbott dazzles Rangers pitchers
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Monica Abbott, one of the greatest collegiate softball pitchers in history, was in camp with the Rangers' Minor League pitchers on Saturday. She gave them an impressive display of her pitching prowess on the back field.
"I'm ready to sign her up," pitching coach Mike Maddux said.
Abbott pitched at the University of Tennessee from 2004-07 and finished her career as the all-time Division I leader in wins, strikeouts, innings pitched, shutouts and games started. She was the College Player of the Year in 2007 and on the United States team that won a silver medal at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing.

As I was going to sleep listening to a talk by John Peacock on dharmaseed, I noticed that he uses the term proliferation as an english translation for papanca. He was using it in the context of how people tend to conceptually proliferate and run amok in their thought worlds all while centering around their perception of themselves or self. It was at that moment when I thought of Thanissaro's alternative translation of papanca as objectification and I had a strange visualization/imagining of cutting off the top of a head and seeing a big "I" in the middle with conceptual/mental proliferation tethered to this "I" and circling around it in some sort of mental samsara based on an object with no proper or locatable referent, the referent being "I". So, given those thoughts, I wondered if papanca can mean both objectification and proliferation in an interrelated sense, as in we objectify things, objectify ourselves and then mentally proliferate around these objectifications.
Anyway, just felt like writing the thought down. I'll think about it some more tomorrow. Please do offer your thoughts on my thought and/or about your thoughts on papanca in general.

The Dang-It Bobbys Release New Album 'Big Trouble'
Submitted by mike on Wed, 08/17/2011 - 03:06
The Dang-it Bobbys, whose sound The New York Times described as "lovely riffs on bluegrass, country and folk music," will release on September 20 its sophomore album, BIG TROUBLE, the follow-up to its 2009 debut, SOMETHING IN THE AIR. While many of the band's riffs are lovely, there is much more: ingenious combinations of musical styles as well as smart, funny lyrics and a special energy that is downright contagious.
The Dang-It Bobbys will play the CD Release Show at 10 p.m. Saturday, September 24, at Rockwood Music Hall, 196 Allen St. in New York City. Complimentary Cover; information: 212.477.4155.
The Dang-it Bobbys, led by multi-instrumentalist Kris Bauman, explore what the word "Americana" truly means on the upcoming release, which features musicians from the New York City bluegrass, jazz, rock and country music scene, The band is a real melting pot of American music, showcasing the talents of blues/funk guitarist Luca Benedetti (ulu), jazz/classical violinist Alan Grubner (Henry Threadgill, Howard Levy), jazz bassist Chris Higgins (Pat Metheny), bluegrass mandolinist Dan Marcus (Norah Jones), and the 2001 RockyGrass Dobro champion, Todd Livingston (Earl Scruggs).
The Dang-it Bobbys' unorthodox background is clearly evident on the autobiographical title track "Big Trouble," a cautionary tale for would-be travelers to Mexico, juxtaposing a bluegrass style 4/4 and English lyrics with a traditional Mexican 3/4 feel and "gringo-ized" Spanish. On "Hey Guess What," the cyclical form, heart-wrenching harmonica and mantric snare drum provide the backdrop to a mother's attempt to come clean to her daughter. "Heading Out," an unconventional ballad, showcases the band's range of both intensity and tenderness.
The Dang-it Bobbys garner influence from all facets of American music, from bluegrass and country to jazz and blues. It is this flavorful stew of styles, coupled with the artistry of the adroit musicians featured on BIG TROUBLE, that give The Dang-it Bobbys an unquestionably American sound.
Upcoming Performances:
September 24, Rockwood Music Hall, New York
October 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, Pete's Candy Store, Brooklyn

The goals of treatment are to eliminate the infection, and prevent hearing loss and other complications.
Antibiotics are generally used to treat ear infections in children under 2, but these medications only work against bacterial infections. If the infection is caused by a virus, the antibiotics will not be effective. The only certain way to tell if the infection is caused by bacteria is to perform a myringotomy and culture the middle ear fluid, which are not frequently done.
In recent years, doctors have come to realize that antibiotic use for any reason causes bacteria to develop resistance to the antibiotic used. These resistant bacteria can then cause new infections in a child or be passed to family members or other children. Antibiotic resistance is a serious problem—particularly when, unlike most cases of otitis, the infection is serious or life threatening. Experts feel that our best protection against running out of antibiotics is to reduce prescribing these drugs for illnesses that are likely to get better on their own without treatment. Since many children with otitis will be much improved within 2 days—even without antibiotic treatment, reducing the use of antibiotics in children with otitis is an important health goal worldwide.
Many experts now believe that the risk of antibiotic treatment may be greater than its benefit for many children 2 and over with an ear infection or suspected ear infection. In these children, symptoms of infection will often subside just as quickly without an antibiotic. A pain reliever is frequently all that older children need to recover fully from an ear infection.
It is important to keep in mind, too, that antibiotics can cause a number of side effects. Nausea, stomach pain, and diarrhea are common. Also, there is a risk of having an allergic reaction to the antibiotic.
The doctor may prescribe an antibiotic if symptoms continue for more than a few days or worsen. Some doctors will give parents a prescription for antibiotics, but instruct them not to use the antibiotic unless pain or fever persists beyond an agreed-upon number of days.
When an antibiotic is prescribed, it is important that you carefully follow the dosage recommendations. Failure to finish the medication can make it less effective in the future. Sometimes the antibiotic initially prescribed does not clear the infection, and another medication may be recommended. Be sure to go to a follow-up visit with the doctor to determine whether the infection is resolved or requires further treatment.
Other medications that can help treat otitis media include nasal sprays or antihistamines in children with allergic rhinitis.
Treatment involves the following:
Lifestyle changes
Alternative and complementary therapies

Mystery WheelRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
A wheel with ten holes,
No lugs to see;
Numbers with letters,
Mostly with three.
Spin me, spin me,
Again and again;
Though I always return,
You can still reach a friend.
What is being described?
AnswerA rotary telephone.
The dial on a rotary telephone has 10 holes. If this were a wheel on a car, you would fit the holes over the lugs on the hub. Each hole is for a number, 1 through 0. Letters are assigned to most of the numbers. Most of the numbers have three letters assigned. As you dial each number of a telephone number, the dial returns counterclockwise. After completing the dialing, you could reach your friend (or anybody else).
What Next?

I recently made a few purchases to add to my collection, including another amplifier and have subsequently found myself bidding on cyrus components, including cd players and PSX-Rs. I am also conemplating some new speakers.
Not quite sure why as I was/am perfectly happy with my current set-up. It also adds to the box count and cost.
So I am contemplating changing to ADM 9RS's. Not because I think they will necesseraly be much better than what I have (I dont know and only had the first generation 9's at my place a couple of times) but when I count cost up of the additional cyrus components (plus speakers) it will exceed the cost of the AVI's. May I add that I perfectly like the cyrus sound, I had a system from the manufacturer before.
It seems like a neat solution (AVI) and will take some of the incentive to change for the sake of it away.
It will be a couple of months before I can afford a pair but I am inclined to go that way at the moment. The only thing I will have to purchase until then is a decent phono stage as I'm not willing to give up vinyl.
Thoughts welcome.

Arkansas starting quarterback Tyler Wilson was in a car accident but was uninjured, the Arkansas sports information department told Bo Mattingly of SportsTalkwithbo.com.
The Arkansas State Patrol first confirmed the accident.
"He is fine and we anticipate him to (attend) practice this afternoon," the Arkansas sports information department has said.
Consider it another chapter in an odd and disappointing season for the Razorbacks. The team snapped a four-game losing streak Saturday with a 24-7 win over Auburn.
After the game, Wilson said: "You kind of see that belief back in people's eyes."
Arkansas fell way off track with a loss to Louisiana-Monroe. The very next week, it was rolled by Alabama, 52-0, then lost back-to-back games to Rutgers and Texas A&M.
In that stretch, Wilson, who returned to play his senior year instead of bolting for the NFL, questioned his teammates' effort during a period in which he recovered from a concussion.
Away from the field, coach John L. Smith has a $40 million bankruptcy filing. Smith also lost his brother.

Skin Care and Diseases
Pain and burning sensation in armpit area
I am a 39 y/o female who has been experiencing a hot, almost burning sensation in the area of my armpit. The hot flesh sensation is more towards the outside of my armpit. It feels as though someone is pouring either hot water on the area or even very, very cold water that would cause a `frostbite` feeling. Yet in the very center of the armpit I am experiencing tenderness and almost a bruised feeling in addition to the muscle area near and under the shoulder blade as well. For the first day, my left breast seemed to be sore and tender as well. I`ve checked and there aren`t any lumps in the area and this is not something gradual - I woke up with it on a Sunday morning. This has been going on for nearly a week now - 6 days to be exact. I`ve not done anything too out of the ordinary or overly-physical other than sweep down the back patio - which wasn`t anything I`d consider overexerting. I have not changed deodorants, I always use a natural `crystal stick` deodorant and if that were the case then both would be sore. Tylenol, Advil and Aleve don`t really seem to alleviate any of the pain - it still feels as though my flesh is burning.
First, the question that needs to be addressed is if there is a rash in the area. If there isn't, I'm not sure what is going on and you will need to see your primary care physician for full evaluation. If there is a rash or break in the skin, I would recommend you see a Board Certified Dermatologist for a full evaluation. Allergic reactions to topically applied preparations/deodorants/etc. vs. orally taken medications can cause these symptoms. These often are itchy in nature but may have the symptoms you are describing. Severe irritation from a new product to the area can also cause symptoms. Occasionally there can be an infection of the skin that needs to be treated with antibiotics by your physician. Please see your physician to get a proper evaluation.

Founded by Shaun Neff as the first brand creating headwear specifically for snowboarders, NEFF has grown into a full-scale apparel brand with collections that also includes tees, watches, sunglasses, headphones, and more. After initially entering the skatewear scene with the idea of creating graphic tees and getting hip pro snowboarders to wear them, Shaun Neff quickly discovered that, despite the countless companies that sought to sponsor action sports athletes with clothing, there was no brand at the time dedicated to sponsoring them with headwear. NEFF started releasing its signature beanie, and the rest is history. Nowadays, NEFF is an international pillar of streetwear fashion, with retailers in over 50 countries and charity collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Deadmau5, and Scarlett Johansson.

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.

I went to a closed training camp practice up at Purdue and after went to dinner with Versace, Bob Hill and Bob Ocepka. So it was just me, my dad, and the three coaches. It was an interesting experience. I was 19 years old at the time.
General impressions of the three coaches - just as people. To be clear Versace invited me and my dad up to practice and then to dinner afterward. He knew I was a big Pacers fan so he was being very nice inviting us - so I wanted to like him.
Ocepka - one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. He was seemingly interested in me and my dad.
Bob Hill - while there might be legitimate reasons, he came across as a jerk. Like he didn't want to be there, didn't say much. But I'll give him some credit he didn't act like Versace. (didn't seem Hill and Versace got along well)
Versace - He was a big personality and I used to love his call in radio show and later when he hosted a radio show in Chicago he was excellent.
But my impression from that dinner is hard to describe. He seemed very fake to me, like he'd ask me a question a legitimate basketball question and then obviously not listen to anything I said. But he wasn't mean to me, he wasn't horrible at all, but I think what bothered me more than anything is he hated the team and players he was coaching. Some of his comments: Tank is as dumb as a box of rocks. Versace hated Mel Daniels, he went on a rant about him. I forget some of his other comments, but he was critical of almost all the players.
More than anything Dick just talked and talked and while he was very articulate he just has that personality where he thinks he is the smartest person in the room. The more you are around him, the less you like him.
We did get some great tickets though.

JOB made me not want to watch the team that I'd give anything to watch any chance I got. I actually started not to care anymore in the season before and the season of his firing (until it actually happened). It was just so obvious to everybody that he needed to go that it was just stupid. I almost wanted Bird fired just so we could get somebody with the guts to fire JOB.
Yes we lacked some talent, but JOB's use of players baffled me at times. However I will give him credit for getting what he could out of Dunleavy and Murphy. I also give him credit for Grangers big scoring seasons, But Grangers defense suffered in the process.
JOB was the worst to me. Zeke is right behind him because he was just clueless about how to coach. The only thing I give Zeke credit for is willingly playing the young guys.
That is very easy. JOB was a well respected NBA man and a very good coach. Thomas had no background indicating he could coach. JOB would have gotten much more out of that team Zeke inherited. JOB started his tenure with not much to work with and it got worse. Only three players remained from his first team when he started his last year. What Pacer homers have never understood is that NO coach in the NBA could have gotten that team to .500 with those players. In fact, some of them would have won ten to fifteen less games per year in my opinion. None of them would ever have taken the job in the first place. JOB is a first assistant coach for Dallas and he may well become a head coach again. JOB is miles better than our current coach although he had to push the edge here with discipline because the team was out of control and the players hated him for that....
i guess it's safe to say O'Brien was the wrong man for the JOB
been wanting to make that pun for a while now
Wow, hanged or shot?
I'd have to go with JOB. I always at least felt HE believed in what he was doing, even if I disagreed with a lot of it. My frustration with Zeke was that he seemed not to know at all what he was doing and would completely lose track of what was happening, then spin the heck out of it afterwards.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
Its not really fair to say JOB was the worst coach. His teams had the worst talent on them and he really didn't have much to work with. Clearly Isiah was the worst. He had talented teams every season, yet did nothing in the playoffs. There was no excuse to lose to Boston in 2003. We had a prime JO, prime Ron Artest, an All Star Brad Miller, a young and productive Al Harrington, and a still effective Reggie Miller. The 02-03 Pacers team you could argue was the most talented team we ever assembled. All Boston had was Paul Pierce and Antwoine Walker. The next season under Carlisle, even with losing Brad Miller, we went to the ECF.
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Did Jalen Rose ever know what was expected of him? He did under Bird, and he thrived. Zeke was all over the board with Jalen, however.
Man, that was just messy.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
I can't speak to Versace or Irvine, so I don't feel qualified to answer the question.
In regards to JOB vs. Isiah I'll try and explain how I differentiate them. In regards to the technical side of coaching, understanding the X's and O's, schemes, etc., I think Jimmy has real acumen there, and as such is obviously better than Zeke. On the flip side, Isiah is very good at interpersonal relationships. He's the consumate salesman, even people like SportsGuy who hate him walk away from a conversation liking the guy personally. So from a standpoint of managing people, getting player buy-in I think he's very good, and as such is obviously better than O'Brien.
If pressed on the matter, I think that in a vacuum O'Brien is the better coach, but Isiah did a better job coaching the Pacers. Jimmy's stubbornness was just unacceptable and unforgivable, especially from someone who really should have known better.

Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
I've lived through them all, heck I've under Irvine twice (thank you Donnie Walsh) but only one coach has ever made me lose interest in the team. Only one coach has ever had me tell my wife that when there was something else on TV when there was a Pacers away game that conflicted that we could just go ahead and watch the other program. Only one coach has ever made me question the very basic fundamental belief in rebounding as being important. Only one coach has ever made my Son tell me that if he is back next season to drop our tickets down to just going to select games.
Jim O'Brien hands down for me is the worst coach I have ever seen.
Now I say that with the odd contradiction that Jim O'Brien may also be the most knowledgeable coach I've ever seen (maybe even rivaling Larry Brown) and that to me is why he is the absolute worst.
Jim knows, understands & can coach almost any style of play you can imagine. I've seen him do it. But he is so fixated on the one style of play that he forgoes all others even when he doesn't have players who can play it or some players who are better than the other players but can't play his style so he won't play them.
Now if you would have come to me 7 years ago and asked me who was the worst coach I would have laughed while saying the name George Irvine (I would have been laughing so I wouldn't have been crying at the memory) but if nothing else Jim has at the very least helped me get over my Irvine nightmare.
No matter how poorly I've thought about Versace and he would be the next worst one about this to Jim, at least he never once took to the airwaves to decry a young player's good performance as irrelevant. I don't care if he was talking about Josh or if Brandon Rush would have had that game, you don't publicly say any player's good effort was irrelevant.
I hated his rotations, I hated his offensive schemes, I hated his cliché use of "I'm all about defense" and I hated with the passion of a white hot sun his use of the big men shooting three point shots.
Now understand everything I am saying is just my opinion there is no science here, you can point out w/l records or whatever but I'm not changing my mind.
Only one coach has ever made it so that the P.A. announcer had to change the intros because they knew that the fans could not stand the guy so I think it's safe to say that I'm not alone in my feelings of Jim O'Brien.
What kills me is that people who were big Jermaine O'Neal fans don't want to give Isiah the credit that Jermaine himself gives him.
No he wasn't a good coach but as you said he was better at getting players to play for him.
He certainly had the worst hair.
Jim O'Brien has over 35 years coaching experience in college and the NBA. Isiah has never been an assistant coach ever, and has less head coaching experience.
let me ask the question: if Jim is so bad, then why did Rick hire him. I mean there are tons of assistant coaches out there. I would guess the lead assistant coach for the Mavs is very well paid - one of the highest salaries in the NBA for an assistant coach. The last two assistant coaches there are now head coaches. So they probably had there pick of really qualified coaches, and yet they choose the Pacers worst NBA head coach ever? Makes no sense.
Probably because Jim can tell you the shooting percentage of any guy in the league when they are shooting left handed, from 18 to 20 feet out, 5 minutes into the game, while being triple teamed, on National TV and Knick Bavetta is reffing.
I can't remember who told the story on 1070 about a month and a half ago (Wells or Kevin Lee maybe), but Jim had these HUGE binders of data on all these players that he'd have the video scouts put together for him.
The dude would seriously make a great color analyst for ESPN.
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
Ya, im only 22 so I can only speak from basically Larry Brown on and there's no doubt in my mind JOB was by far the worst in my time.
Maybe I was too young at the time to really notice a good or bad coaching job, but Isaiah never came off to me as being the worst coach ever like JOB did.
The Mavs are about to go through a very quick and painful rebuild once Nowitzki decides to hang them up. That makes coaching there undesireable, especially with the controlling Carlisle dictating the offensive flow. Cuban likely wants to push the tempo more than Carlisle does and is forcing the issue by hiring O'Brien, and likely for a discounted rate compared to what he would have to pay others because it is his final chance to prove that his system works with the correct personnel in place, starting with likely his favorite player of all time in Dirk as the cornerstone of the offense.
Also, my guess is that Carlisle doesn't want to go through the rebuilding process, either, which makes him a likely candidate to move on sooner rather than later. O'Brien also at least has some experience, yet is the perfect coach to tank the team with plausible deniability due to his rigidity once Nowitzki retires.
Cuban's plan is well-known - he's keeping a flexible roster not for a long rebuild, but to get another star to pair with Dirk before he retires. It's not easy, as this year's missed FA haul shows, but he seems to be sticking to the plan. There's no way Cuban lets Carlisle go before Dirk retires. And I would think Carlisle is on board with this plan.
Larry Staverman.
Zeke always seemed miles worse than JOB.
JOB did a decent job, at least as far as win-losses are concerned, with a pretty terrible roster.
Zeke took a roster that could have fought for the championship under a good coach and turned it into a fringe playoff team.
So, like we treat you here on PD?
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

I'm figuring Rick lost a bet or Jim found some compromising photos that Carlisle left in his desk....

Even though she's taken the "T" out of her GTL routine, mama-to-be Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi has an extra-special glow about her these days.
On Monday, Snooks shared a photo of her posing next to her fiance, Jionni LaValle, on Instagram. The couple even color-coordinated for the image; LaValle sported black cargo shorts and a black and white t-shirt, while the pint-size Jersey Shore star's baby bump looked bigger than ever under her stunning, strapless white dress.
The usually loquacious MTV star didn't have much to add to the sweet portrait, captioning it simply, "My family."
Due this fall, Polizzi, 24, confirmed to USA Today in July she and LaValle had settled on a name for their first child together, a son: Lorenzo.
The duo can't wait to welcome their little guy into the world -- and Polizzi has said she's also excited to show off her parenting skills.
"I can't wait to meet my kid!" she told V earlier this year. "Everyone will be surprised to see a different side of me. I'm loving, caring, sensitive, protective and very maternal, no matter what people might think."

Over the past couple of years I have attended many seminars mostly on topics relating to green building and the environment. In truth, I was determined to make good use of the construction down time, in this economy, with a goal to learning as much as I could about home performance improvement. One such seminar taught me that the terms sustainable building and green construction have become more than simple buzz words, they have become policies promoted by the government.

A COUPLE with a severely disabled daughter said they were furious a 'dangerous' hole has been left outside their house for several months.
Workmen from United Utilities dug the hole at the Darwen home of Frank Kenny and his partner Yvonne Fern in an attempt to fix a leaking pipe in September but it has not been filled back in.
To make matters worse, Yvonne's daughter Jessica, 16, suffers from health problems including a bad heart, epilepsy and curviture of the spine and has just undergone major surgery to replace a valve in her heart at Alder Hey Hospital.
Mr Kenny said he had reached the end of his tether but desperately wanted the situation resolved before Jessica was discharged from hospital.
Mr Kenny, of Spring Vale Garden Village, said the problem began when he spotted a leak on the path outside his home.
The 46-year-old builder said he spoke to United Utilities who arranged to send out a workman to fix the problem.
It was agreed the contractors would move stone flags, dig a hole to find the problem and fix it and fill in the hole, but Mr Kenny would have to re-lay his flags.
The work was carried out but, in September, there was another leak and United Utilities agreed to send workmen round again, under the same proviso.
Mr Kenny said: "They couldn't find it and said they would send some other lads but it took four days to get someone out.
"But then over that weekend we thought we could smell gas so we called out the gas board.
"They then dug a further hole to fix the gas leak and asked us to let them know when the water board had finished so they could come back and fill their hole in."
Mr Kenny said once the hole had been filled, United Utilities should have come back out to fill their hole in, but they didn't.
He said: "We kept getting these phone calls from their customer services asking if we were satisfied and we would tell them what had happened but nothing got resolved.
"As far as I am concerned, they dug the hole so they should fill it in so I can put the flags back in.
"This has been going on now since October and I am fed up of it. I have reported it to Ofcom.
"It is dangerous and I am worried that Jessica could hurt herself as we are basically walking over ramps, which would be far from ideal for her."
After the Lancashire Telegraph contacted United Utilities, a spokesman for the firm said a meeting had been arranged with Mr Kenny today in a bid to have the issue resolved.

In her first
year of teaching at Sinagua Middle School in Flagstaff, Kristie Kay decided
that her sixth-graders needed more than textbooks and lectures to fully
appreciate Native American culture. In response, Kay designed a more hands-on lesson
plan, complete with artifacts, cultural documents, and videos.
"I wanted to bring in artifacts of Native American
culture," Kay explains. "I knew this was going to be an interesting subject for
them because so many of them are Native American themselves or their friends
are Native American."
This new curriculum
encouraged her students to become more engaged in learning about Arizona's
indigenous people, and in doing so, was the award-winning entry in the Imagine
Arizona contest. Judges were so impressed with Kay's approach that they are
making it available for use by teachers across the state. As part of the
Arizona Centennial celebration, the Imagine Arizona prize awarded to Kay demonstrated
her ability to make a difference in the lives of her students.
Kay's success was made possible, in part, through the Western
Undergraduate Exchange program, which allows students from 14 states in the
Western United States to attend Northern Arizona University at a reduced
tuition rate. Originally from Hilo, Hawaii, Kay explains that while traveling
from a tropical environment to a mountain town in the pines was something of a culture
shock initially, she soon fell in love with Flagstaff and the university.
"I like the small town
feel that Flagstaff has," Kay says. "You see everyone you know all the time,
and you can make strong connections with people here."
Kay's own experiences adapting to and learning about
Arizona's rich indigenous heritage compelled her to create her lesson plan. In
her own description sent to the contest, Kay explains the necessity of deeper
student engagement with the history and culture of Arizona and its people.
"With Arizona having the second largest Native American
population in the United States, I believe that it is extremely important to
inform today's youth of the fascinating history of Arizona's Native American
tribes," Kay writes. "In this era of digital media, it is essential to bring
technology into the classroom, and I was able to do just that."
Kay's parents are both teachers, and she was inspired by
their dedication to their students to follow in their footsteps. Through the award-winning
College of Education, Kay says she received the hands-on, practical training
she needed to both excel as a teacher and later form the lesson plan that would
be the winning entry in the statewide contest.
"Everything I learned at the university helped me become the
teacher I am, and to write this lesson plan," Kay says. "Without the material I
learned in my classes covering effective lesson plan writing and making
accommodations for every student, there is no way I would have been prepared."
What Kay loves most about teaching is that she is making a
difference in the lives of others.
"I like knowing that I'm making an impact on the kids,"
Kay explains. "I like being a role model for younger students, and knowing that
they look up to me. I hope that I can give them advice that will help them
develop into confident individuals."
For Kay, winning the contest so early in her career is a sign
that she was more than prepared by her alma mater.
"At the university, I met a lot of great people and I had
great connections with my professors," Kay says. "It was a life-changing
experience that made all the difference for me."

|Official Title:
|A Multicenter Randomized Placebo-Controlled Double-Blind Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Glutamine and Creatine Monohydrate in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common lethal inherited disorder worldwide. Despite the exponential increase in our understanding of the disorder since the discovery and characterization of the causative gene and its product dystrophin in 1987, current therapeutic management remains largely supportive. Awaiting a final genetic cure to be available in the future, further investments in developing better drug therapies for DMD remain important. Not only because the uniform use of prednisone (the only drug proven to be beneficial) is hampered by potential adverse effects, but also because it may very well be the case that ultimately a combination of both gene and drug therapy will be needed to cure Duchenne children. Here, we test two compounds that have shown promise in a 45-drug screen in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne dystrophy.
The effect of glutamine (0.6/kg/day) and creatine monohydrate (5g/day) on muscle strength will be evaluated in a multi-center randomized double-blind placebo-controlled 3-arm study. Ambulant children aged 5-10 years with an established DMD diagnosis will be studied. Patients will undergo 2 screening evaluations within 2 weeks. Patients will be randomized into treatment groups on the second screening visits, followed by a 6-month treatment period. During the treatment period, patients will be evaluated at monthly intervals. The primary endpoints are percentage change in average muscle strength score and QMT performance for specific muscle groups. Secondary endpoints include timed function tests, functional grades for arms and legs, and pulmonary function tests.

Marquis, even though you have the worst 3pt shot in the history of the modern world. I miss all the intangibles you broughtYou've dealt with losing throughout your career. How does it feel to be back in a winning atmosphere on a team competing for a championship?
We're all playing for a championship. We all want to win this year and that's what we're focusing on. When I was in Dallas, we had some rough stretches and Indiana was the same way. It was awful, I hate losing. It feels really good to be in a winning atmosphere.
I love players that HATE losing!!

As you may know, the FCC requires providers to provide the "ability to change service providers within the same local area and still keep the same phone number." If you want to cancel your cell phone service, you can port your number to your new service, regardless of things like "early termination fees."
How to Keep Your Number:
1) Contact your new carrier. Tell them that you will be switching to their service and you'd like to keep your number.
2) The new carrier will begin the process. They will confirm your identity. You may need to provide them with various documentation proving you are who you say you are.
3) The new carrier will request your number from the old carrier. Once a valid porting request has been made, the old carrier cannot refuse to port a number.
More inside.
Here are some things to know:
• "Once a consumer has requested service from a new carrier, the old carrier may not delay or refuse to port a number even if that individual owes money for an outstanding balance or termination fee." This means that if you request service from a new carrier, your old carrier can not prevent or delay your number from being ported.
• Carrier may charge a fee for number porting, but your new carrier is not prevented from paying this fee for you. You should ask your new carrier about it.
• If you take your number to a new service, you are still responsible for whatever fees/balance you owe to your former carrier.
• Just because you take you number to a new carrier, don't expect your phone to work, too. The main exception to this is Cingular (AT&T) and T-Mobile. Often phones can be "unlocked" and switched between these two carriers. Ask your carrier for the "unlock" code.
Report any violations of WLNP to the FCC. —MEGHANN MARCO

A little boy is dead and his sister critically injured after a suspected drunk driver ran into the family's car in a head on collision.
The crash happened Sunday night on Hoover road on Detroit's east side.
"It kind of sounded like an explosion. I can't describe it, a big boom sound," said Patience Gilbreath who heard the crash.
According to police, a suspected drunk driver lost control and slammed into a car carrying a mother and her children.
A two-year-old boy was killed and his eight-year-old sister is in critical condition. The mother of the two children was not hurt.
"I saw the mother she was hysterical and the police were trying to get the baby's pulse. It was horrible," said Gilbreath.
Gilbreath said she ran down the street to the nearest fire department begging for help. Police raced to the scene and so did neighbors like Gilbreath.
"The whole community that was out here stuck together. It was sad because I actually saw them putting the babies into the ambulance," said Gilbreath.
The 62-year-old suspected drunk driver of Shelby Township was taken to the hospital for minor injuries, but is currently in police custody. Police are still waiting on preliminary breath test results for the driver.

Stanley Black & Decker Education Day
On Wednesday, January 29, representatives from Stanley Black & Decker (including WC alumni Mike Bonadies '13, Ryan Bankert '13, and Jeff Nutting '13) visited Washington College for a series of career development sessions. This event, Black & Decker's Education Day, served as a means to prepare its attendees for the employment world, while spreading the word about employment at Stanley Black & Decker.
A general Meet and Greet was followed by Mock Interviews, which allowed students to market themselves to Stanley Black & Decker representatives, who then provided critiques and helpful tips for the future. Students and staff also joined the SB&D team for lunch and for a meeting with WC's Enactus group, an on campus student group that uses free-market principles and business skills to empower individuals and organizations in the community.
After lunch, the SB&D Skills Workshop allowed students to assess and refine their respective strengths and create a plan for approaching various situations in an employment setting, such as researching the job before the interview and, most importantly, finding jobs that resonate with each individual's passions and interests. "When in doubt," Stanley Black & Decker representatives mentioned during the workshop, "get help through Career Services and both professional and private networking sites." After the Skills Workshop, representatives finished the day by visiting Professor Spilich's psychology class.
Stanley Black & Decker will return Monday, February 17 to conduct "real" interviews of students to fill positions at SB&D upon graduation.

Mead Johnson Nutrition: China Gains, Credit Suisse's Top Pick
Shares of Mead John Nutrition (MJN) followed China lower this year, losing 7.2% year-to-date.
The U.S.-based infant nutrition company remains Credit Suisse's top pick however. Revenue growth was this stock's strongest driver since 2009 - and Credit Suisse sees sales at Mead Johnson growing this year.
In part, Mead Johnson will gain market share - and hence grow revenue - at the expense of its European competitor Danone (DANOY). Here are analysts Robert Moskow, Clay Crumbliss and Rachel Nabatian:
Competitor Danone is experiencing deep-seated problems in China that will take a long time to fix. In the course of just 60 days, Danone suffered through a bribery scandal in its Chinese direct to-professional sales force and an unlucky product recall by its milk powder supplier. Danone's Dumex brand received the lion's share of negative press coverage, thus causing severe damage to the brand's image with consumers. While Danone management says that market share trends are now improving, they continue to emphasize the size of the hole the recall created and the extensive amount of time it will take to return to normal. Danone's market share in China fell from 15% to 3% at its trough and is only at 5% currently. We think it will take another year before Danone's market share fully recovers and that Mead's growth rate will benefit by 1% globally in 2014.
Second, the U.S. business will accelerate this year:
The U.S. birth rate moved into positive territory in 2013 and is likely to keep moving higher in 2014. Mead's U.S. business has improved its marketing execution and profit margins simultaneously.
Credit Suisse is also encouraged by Abbott's (ABT) guidance in China:
We think global demand is strong enough for management to guide close to consensus of $3.65. We view Abbott's upbeat commentary about its international pediatric nutrition sales as a positive read-across in that regard.
Credit Suisse has a $92 price target. Mead Johnson traded at $77.7 this morning.

FORT WORTH, Texas—Dale Earnhardt Jr. finally got closure Sunday from the concussions that caused him to miss two Sprint Cup races.
It just came a week later than he expected.
Running fourth on a restart with two laps remaining, Earnhardt had to settle for seventh in the AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.
It was a solid top-10 finish a week after he got wrecked late and finished 21st at Martinsville in his return following his two-week absence.
Though he raced well and said he felt fine after the race, Earnhardt left Martinsville feeling as though he didn't get closure on his concussions, which occurred after wrecks at Kansas Speedway in August and at Talladega Oct. 7. He felt different Sunday night when he left Texas.
"I feel real good physically," Earnhardt said. "I felt real sharp in the car all night. I want to run real hard and win a couple of races if we can at the end of this deal.
"But I also want to finish well for myself and not have any doubts or question marks in the offseason. I feel like this is a great step in the right direction."
Earnhardt started 19th, had a strong car early, dialed it out of sync in the middle of the race and then came on strong at the end. He also gained about eight spots with fast pit stops throughout the race and took advantage of good fuel mileage.
While other drivers had to nurse their cars in hopes of making it on fuel, Earnhardt didn't seem to have that issue and could race at the end.
"When you're not using all the fuel, you're usually not getting all the power in it either," Earnhardt said. "I know the guys are really studying trying to give us as much power as they can without using no more fuel than they can.
"We were in a great position to have a great finish due to the fuel mileage. … But the races aren't going to play out that way (often)."
Considering he started in the outside lane on the final restart, Earnhardt knew he likely would fall a few spots.
"Just starting on the outside is a disadvantage," he said. "I've got to beat those guys on the bottom. The guys on the inside of you and probably the guy behind you are going to be hard to hold off. There's just no grip out there."

I had been on this road a few times. A couple of times in the dark. Lost. Oh, and going the wrong way. So I was getting pretty good on the ol' SR222, once known as the ancient trail of the sheep.
An early departure in the morning, as we had a 10 a.m. appointment at Castello dei Rampolla. Right. Somewhere between Siena and Greve we got a call on the cellular. The agronomist was coming, could we delay our arrival? No problem.
While the light was still fresh and bright we parked in Panzano and made an orbit around the little hilltop village. In 4 days this town would transform into a bazaar of butchers, for the annual "We are macelleria men and we love to eat meat" fest.
Checcucci was already preparing the pigs, and closer towards the town gates Dario Cecchini was cranking up the Puccini and dusting off Dante in his venerable chapel to Chiannina.
But ours was a different mission, to go where no man has gone before, at least with the aid of a map.
Cecchini led us out his door and offered his take on the road to Rampolla. Follow the cobblestone road, past Checcucci, where we get our prosciutto, and turn left at the church, right at the stop. There, you will find a meadow, where the bees make the finest honey that we use for our morning toast. Go to the next church and take the road left. Then you will find some signs and follow them to the ancient castle. OK, that seemed easy enough.
Once there, we spotted the owners in the fields with their consultants. Signs everywhere saying, "Tachis was here." I could see why he was excited. The vineyard hummed with the life of the earth it was sewn into. This is a golden shell of energy; I was waiting to find a crop circle around the corner.
They practice "Biodynamic" here; hence, the rack of bull's horns waiting for the mixture of concentrated manure from the 7th bull of the 7th bull. Full moon was 2 weeks away. A lot of folks who have wished the wish - "I wish I could be a fly on the wall"- are getting their afterlife-karmic requests granted here.
They have a young winemaker, Marcus, with deep, penetrating slate-blue eyes, tall, upright, a welcome addition to the Tuscan table. Marcus was born in Germany, raised among the steep, dark, schist-laden vineyards of his homeland. There is a heaven for some. The payoff is work in the sun. Not a lot of money, which is another story for that young generation.
The wines of Rampolla still resonate within me. The finish is lingering in a way I rarely feel in wine. It isn't just a bottle of wine. I don't know if it is even wine in the strict sense of it. Yes, they use grapes and barrels and bottles and corks. But I am still tasting those wines!
What was Daniel Thomases thinking the last time he tasted, and wrote about, these wines? Shame on him. I think he liked the wines, but other than a score, where's the passion? In this arena, a score of 89 or 98 is irrelevant. Did the owners strike him in the wrong way on that day, using tu instead of lei? They never showed up on my visit either. Big deal.
What did show up that day, as has been the case for millions of years, were the bees and the lizards, the flowers and the dirt, the high-galestro scrigno, this treasure chest of pyrite whereupon the vines sit and flourish, making merry in the sun. Wine for us mere mortals to sip, perchance to dream, the dream of Dionysius. And linger over Sangiovese fit for the gods.
I walked a mile for a Sammarco.

Hello all-
I've been playing for about a year - not so good yet, but I have fun. I recently lost a faithful disc and I'm trying to figure out how best to replace it.
About 8 months ago I found a beat up 150 DX leopord in the bushes on my home course. Turned right like a dream , with a bit of left fade at the end that made it perfect for a few holes I frequently played. It would charge right, then fade and stop flat. These holes aren't long - around 150ft -
I've had other turnover discs -stratus, cobra - and they never worked as predictably as this old leapord. I borrowed my 5 year old daughters new 150 leapord, but it isn't the same.
Anyone have any advice? What about these new discs- breeze and sidewinder? would they work out for me?

Wilson's return to mound spoiled by Rays
Veteran lefty lasts just 1 1/3 innings, allowing four runs at Tampa Bay
ST. PETERSBURG -- It was only the bottom of the second inning, and as far as C.J. Wilson was concerned, the game was already over.
Just four outs earlier, the left-hander had walked onto a mound in a big league game for the first time in three weeks, having been sidelined with a sprained right ankle. Now, he was walking off the Tropicana Field rubber -- well, he had been yanked off of it by manager Mike Scioscia, really -- after a six-run shelling, with the Angels on their way to a 10-3 loss to the Rays Saturday night.
"It felt good to get back out there -- it's been a long time since I've been playing," Wilson said. "But it's obviously frustrating to lose the game in the first two innings like that."
Wilson's return from the disabled list couldn't have gone any worse -- he got just four outs on 50 pitches. The 1 1/3 innings made it his second shortest career outing, and he has now allowed 25 earned runs in his last 18 innings pitched.
"We need him," Scioscia said. "We need him to figure it out. We need him to get back to making pitches and being effective."
Wilson might have been healthy, but he didn't have much of anything figured out on Saturday. Evan Longoria got things started in the first inning, when, with Brandon Guyer aboard, he turned on a changeup that ran over the middle of the plate and parked it in the left-field seats for a 2-0 lead.
Then the wheels came off in the second, when Wilson allowed six straight baserunners and four runs after the first out. Wilson allowed a single to James Loney, a walk to Curt Casali, an RBI single to Logan Forsythe, back-to-back bunt hits to Desmond Jennings and Ben Zobrist -- both of which Wilson fielded, and neither of which he made a play on -- and a two-run, bases-loaded single to Guyer, which ended Wilson's short night.
Wilson said Jennings' bunt, a safety squeeze with Casali on third and Forsythe on first that turned into a base hit when Wilson looked home before looking to first, was what hurt him the most.
"If I would have just had the presence of mind to concede the run and thrown to first right away -- instead of looking home and trying to throw home -- then [Jennings] would've been out and I probably would've been out of the inning right there, if you look at it realistically," Wilson said.
Instead, Jennings beat the ball to first, Zobrist bunted his way on, too, and Guyer's single to center brought Scioscia jogging out of the Halos' dugout, asking for the ball.
The Angels' bullpen, forced into the action early, did its best to keep the Rays from adding to their lead. The Halos threw 5 2/3 innings of scoreless relief before Tampa Bay finally got to a tired Michael Roth -- who threw 87 pitches in relief -- for four runs in the eighth.
That bullpen has been phenomenal for an extended stretch, but it has also been taxed, working the most innings of any 'pen in the American League in July.
And the relievers did give the Halos a chance on Saturday. With the bullpen putting up zeros, the offense put up a three-spot in the fourth inning against Rays starter Chris Archer -- on an RBI ground-rule double by Howie Kendrick, an RBI groundout by David Freese and an RBI double by Hank Conger -- and almost had more.
With the lead cut to 6-3, two outs, runners on second and third and Mike Trout looming on deck, leadoff man Kole Calhoun worked a full count against Archer. He took what he thought was a sure ball four high, which would have loaded the bases for Trout. Instead, home-plate umpire Larry Vanover rang him up to end the inning.
"The strikeout to Calhoun was huge to prevent that inning from continuing with Trout and Pujols coming up," Rays manager Joe Maddon said.
Calhoun had already flipped his bat to the dugout, anticipating the ball four call, when Vanover went into his slow, methodical punchout. The Angels' right fielder froze, holding both hands to his helmet, in disbelief.
The Angels didn't score again.
"It's a huge at-bat right there," Calhoun said. "If I get on base, it brings Trout up with the bases loaded -- I mean, you never know what could happen. Anything could happen."

Texas State Parks Ideal for Family, Group Gatherings
AUSTIN – Why not start a new and healthy tradition this holiday season by taking advantage of a one of the many Texas state park group facilities perfectly suited for getting together for a day or several days with visiting relatives, family and friends.
More than 70 state parks offer group facilities ranging from large, indoor lodges with kitchens and overnight bunkhouse-style accommodations to cozy cabins and open-air pavilions, some with fireplaces. Some group facilities can be rented for day-use only, while others offer facilities that can be rented for up to two weeks.
Houston area families or groups looking for a quick getaway for a day, for example, can head to Huntsville State Park and rent either the screened group picnic pavilion that accommodates up to 75 people for $40 or the heated and air-conditioned group recreation hall with a full kitchen than handles up to 200 people for $150 during the week or $250 on weekends.
The view from the hilltop Civilian Conservation Corps-built group facility at Lockhart State Park, less than an hour from Austin, is tough to beat for $200 a day. The limestone recreation hall, which features a full kitchen with a spacious patio and shaded picnic tables, can be used by up to 75 people during the day or 40 people overnight. A minimum two-night rental applies.
Some state parks host family reunions year after year for families that enjoy breathing fresh air and starry skies. Lake Brownwood State Park is one of those family-friendly parks because it offers a handful of different overnight accommodations. Families and other groups can choose from among 16 cabins, four group lodges that sleep from 4 to 26 people and a group camp with a dining hall and four bunkhouses that can accommodate even larger groups. The park's accommodations are especially popular during winter months because of their fireplaces that stoke the holiday spirit.
Check out the cabins, lodges and other group facilities in more than 70 Texas state parks by visiting: http://tpwd.texas.gov/spdest/parkinfo/facilities/lodging/. Advance reservations for these group facilities must be made by calling the Customer Service Center in Austin at (512) 389-8900. Reservations for individual state park campsites can be made online at http://tpwd.texas.gov/business/park_reservations/.
