KAI RYSSDAL: Almost $300-billion worth of crop subsidies and big-ticket government nutrition programs landed in the lap of the Senate Agriculture Committee today. It's officially called the Food and Energy Security Act -- you can just call it the Farm Bill, if you like.It covers everything from school lunches and food stamps to weather-related disaster aid for farmers.
It comes up for renewal every five years. Every time, the result is a legislative battle over the government's proper role in keeping food on American tables.
Marketplace's John Dimsdale reports from Washington this year is no different:
John Dimsdale: Healthy prices for most crops are generating strong profits for farmers right now, and those who'd like to wean growers from government support payments think the time is ripe for reform. But when he unveiled the Senate bill to the Agriculture Committee today, the chairman, Iowa Democrat Tom Harkin, did not list subsidy reform as an achievement.
Sen. Tom Harkin: It's a forward-looking bill that makes critical investments in energy, conservation, nutrition, conservation, rural development... and, I might add, better diets and health for all Americans.
Advocates of reducing subsidies, including a former Agriculture Committee chairman, Republican Richard Lugar of Indiana, expressed disappointment in today's Senate bill.
Sen. Richard Lugar: U.S. farm programs have cost taxpayers too much and hurt American agriculture in the process. Subsidy programs have spurred farm consolidation, violated international trade agreements and still left most farmers heavily exposed to risk.
Lugar will offer an amendment to replace subsidies with a broader crop insurance program that will pay all farmers -- not just those in the current program -- when they lose money. Another reform, to be offered by North Dakota Democrat Byron Dorgan, would cap subsidy payments at $250,000 per farm per year.
Sen. Byron Dorgan: This farm bill has become much more than a safety net for family farmers -- it's become a set of golden arches for some of the biggest set of corporate agri-factories in the country. And I think it has to stop.
Unlike the House-passed bill, which limits subsidies to farmers earning less than $1 million a year, the Senate keeps the current income cap of $2.5 million. The Senate bill does ban payments to people who can't prove they get most of their income from farming.
Critics want stronger limits on subsidies for wealthy farmers. They also say subsidies have for too long been concentrated on a few basic commodities, such as corn, wheat, cotton and soybeans. The Senate farm bill includes $2 billion for growers of fruits and vegetables -- assistance long advocated by Michigan Democrat Debbie Stabenow:
Sen. Debbie Stabenow: We know that part of where we need to go in the future around nutrition is to make sure we can grow those fruits and vegetables in the United States. Right now, we don't grow enough to meet our nutritional standards.
Environmentalists, too, are taking aim at farm subsidies:
Robert Bonnie: The farm bill is the most important piece of conservation legislation that will pass this decade.
Robert Bonnie with Environmental Defense is urging Congress to reduce subsidies and spend the savings on protecting rural land.
Bonnie: Crop subsidies often provide an incentive for land owners to take marginal grasslands or flood-prone lands and actually put them into crop production. Those things rob us of important wildlife habitat or water quality areas -- so subsidies can have a negative impact on the environment.
Subsidy defenders say they are a vital safety net for farmers who must endure dramatic swings in commodity prices from droughts, floods and infestations. The American Farm Bureau's Bob Young has been lobbying for farm subsidies for over 25 years. He says they get more difficult to defend as Americans leave their rural roots behind:
Bob Young: And the further we get away from just the reality of what it takes to make crop production, to make livestock production happen, the tougher it is. You know, you get suggestions and policy proposals from folks that have not a clue of what it takes to make this stuff happen.
Senate leaders are hoping to pass a farm bill this month, with an eye toward reconciling with the House-passed version and having a bill on the president's desk by the end of the year.
In Washington, I'm John Dimsdale for Marketplace.

Many wrote about a conversation Steve Inskeep had with Ishmar Puri, a professor and head of the Engineering Science & Mechanics at Virginia Tech University. They talked about the university's reaction to a report about the shootings on campus last spring. Professor Puri hid in Norris Hall during the shootings. All but two of the 32 students, including the shooter, were killed there. But he says he has asked the university not to raze that building or make a memorial of it, but to maintain it as a place for education.
Susan Crowell was getting ready to take her daughter to college for the first time when she heard those words from Professor Puri. She writes:
"As I listened, I was not thinking about how to protect my daughter in the event of a tragedy like the Virginia Tech shootings, but was instead hoping she will have professors like Puri. It is his wisdom that I hope my daughter learns from her professors."
That got the attention of Lauren Jackson, listening in Lexington, North Carolina:
"He survived a terrible, terrible tragedy and he was able to turn it into something positive. It was the right way to handle what had happened."
Several of you wrote to take issue with the profile of the town of Pontotoc, Mississippi. Four soldiers from the town have been killed in Iraq. Town residents have lined the streets and highways for miles to pay their respects at the funerals. But listener Tom Walters of San Diego was angered when our reporter said the residents of Pontotoc don't debate the Iraq war.
Walters writes:"I'm sorry for your loss, Pontotoc, but as long as our country has communities like yours — not willing to "debate the Iraq war," — your sons and daughters will continue to die in Iraq."
Sharee Baker Grazda of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, sees it differently:
"I was born and raised" in Pontotoc, and my mother tells me every time a young man has lost his life in Iraq. Perhaps to say the town supports the war might give someone the wrong impression. What I see the town supporting is its young people and their families."

Elementary students staging the musical 'Rockin' America'
RON GOWER/TIMES NEWS Brett Balliet, a Jim Thorpe School District elementary student, practices for the musical "Rockin' America" to be held Friday at Jim Thorpe High Shcool. This is the first-ever musical by Jim Thorpe elementary students.
Elementary students in the Jim Thorpe Area School District are hosting their first-ever musical on Friday, "Rockin' America"
The program will be held at 7 p.m. in the Jim Thorpe High School auditorium and feature students in grades kindergarten through sixth.
Directing the musical is Natalie Kmetz, drama director in the school district.
"It's a fun show with a great variety of selections," said Kmetz, who added that proceeds will benefit drama club productions.
Among the selections are "I Am Woman," which was a hit by Helen Reddy; "We Will Rock You," a popular number by the group Queen, and "I Love Rock and Roll" by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts.
There will be a special tribute to veterans, during which the students will sing the Lee Greenwood song, "God Bless the U.S.A."
Assisting Kmetz with choreography are Hailey Hoherchak and Josiah Behrens.

Lee shakes off any potential trade rumors
Lee shakes off any potential trade rumors
The subject of trade speculation, Lee saw he was in the lineup, playing first base and batting cleanup. But that was a few hours before the first pitch against the Mets at Marlins Park, and about seven hours from the waiver-claim Trade Deadline.
"There's always going to be a lot of rumors out there, about who's available, who's not available," Lee said.
Lee has a no-trade clause, so he would have been contacted to approve or deny a potential trade. Teams like the Giants are searching for a right-handed hitter. Earlier this year, Lee blocked proposed deals to the Dodgers and Yankees.
The veteran, who is a free agent after the season, says he enjoys playing in Miami. And he is open to signing for 2013.
"This is a really nice team," Lee said. "We have a great clubhouse, a great bunch of guys. I don't know what the plans are for the organization. But they can put together a really nice team next year."
Lee has been a steady run producer for the Marlins since he was obtained from the Astros on July 4 for Matt Dominguez and Rob Rasmussen.
In 50 games with Miami, he has 33 RBIs, after he drove in 29 in 66 games with Houston.
"I like it here," Lee said. "Let's put it that way. I like it here."

June 27, 2011
Refill your mugs and cue up House of Pain, Wisconsin: As of this afternoon, ex-N.C. State star turned free-agent quarterback Russell Wilson is officially a Badger. Coach Bret Bielema confirmed Wilson's commitment to spend his final season of eligibility in Madison and expects his new recruit to compete for the starting job straightaway, pending his acceptance to graduate school and a waiver from the NCAA affirming his eligibility for the upcoming season. Mere formalities.
For Wisconsin, the initial reaction is relief. There's a reason the Badgers wanted Wilson so badly: The competition to replace underrated senior Scott Tolzien in the spring consisted of one frontrunner, Curt Phillips, going down with the third ACL tear of his career and the others stinking up the joint in the spring game. Wilson, on the other hand, arrives with a resumé. He was one of the ACC's breakout stars in 2008 as a redshirt freshman, picking up all-conference honors and embarking on the longest interception-free streak — eventually stretching to 379 consecutive passes — in Division I history. He went over 3,000 yards with an ACC-high 31 touchdown passes in 2009, and led the league in both yards and touchdowns last year as a junior while also leading the team in rushing before sacks. They may not serve him the job on a silver platter just for walking in the door, but it shouldn't take long for Wilson to distance himself from a very undistinguished pack, either. (Uh, no pun intended, N.C. State fans.)
The second reaction is boundless optimism. Quarterback was the only position on the depth chart with a radioactive glow strong enough to keep Wisconsin from the top of the preseason polls in the Big Ten. With Wilson in the fold alongside 14 returning starters from last year's 11-2 Rose Bowl run, two 1,000-yard rushers who weren't full-time starters and veterans returning from redshirt seasons on the offensive line (Travis Frederick) and at linebacker (Chris Borland), the Badgers look like a relatively complete team — relative to the stiffest competition in the "Leaders" Division, anyway, now that Ohio State's season is threatening to unravel before it even begins. If the Buckeyes' roster is still intact when Wisconsin comes to Columbus on Oct. 29, the NCAA may ensure that their championship hopes are not.
For Wilson, though, the short-term pride of finishing a career with a legitimate contender loses a bit of its luster next to the potential consequences for his long-term prospects as a pro baseball player. At the moment, Wilson is hitting a paltry .228 with a team-high 82 strikeouts for the Asheville Tourists, a Single-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, and the club has already made it abundantly clear that it doesn't want a fourth-round draft pick — especially one with dim NFL prospects, at best — banging around a football field this fall.
Assuming he actually intends to play, and not stand on the sidelines soaking up the atmosphere, Wilson will have to cut his baseball season short to enroll in school, learn the offense, develop some kind of rapport with his new teammates and fulfill all of the other duties that come with being a Division I quarterback. According to the Rockies, he'll also have to cough up "a significant portion" of the $250,000 signing bonus he was paid last year for leaving the team before the end of the season.
So: By pursuing another year of football, Wilson could be risking hits to both his bank account and the goodwill of an organization that's yet to see much return on its investment to be a four-month stopgap at an unfamiliar school, if he's able to wrestle the starting job away from a more tenured member of the team after arriving on short notice. While also enrolling in graduate school to remain eligible. At least no one's ever going to question his commitment to the game again.

Emergency Managers Confront Climate Change
Emergency managers will have to deal with the impending, uncertain, and possibly extreme effects of climate change. Yet, many emergency managers are not aware of the full range of possible effects, and they are unsure of their place in the effort to plan for, adapt to, and cope with those effects. This may partly reflect emergency mangers' reluctance to get caught up in the rancorous—and politically-charged—debate about climate change, but it mostly is due to the worldview shared by most emergency managers. We focus on: extreme events; acute vs. chronic hazards (floods vs. droughts); a shorter event horizon (5 years vs. 75–100 years); and a shorter planning and operational cycle. This paper explores the important intersection of emergency management, environmental management, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. It examines the different definitions of terms common to all three fields, the overlapping strategies used in all three fields, and the best means of collaboration and mutual re-enforcement among the three to confront and solve the many possible futures that we may face in the climate change world.

Life Energy Fundamentals
In this new de-deified world, the life force, too, had to be explained anew. The community of natural scientists soon decided to do away with it completely. The universe was mechanical, and so was man. Science started to dissect and analyze the components of the body, expecting to find nothing in it but purely biochemical processes.
The only thing hidden within the air, crucial to our survival, was oxygen. And the fluids circulating in our bodies were plain fluids, transporting physical substances hither and thither. Nothing of the person escaped the body at the last breath of death. Humans were mere machines.

text: The CTM (Confederation of Mexican Workers) is a sprawling, squalling, squabbling, red and red-hot Mexican edition of C. I. O. Under socialistic President Lázaro Cárdenas (1934-40) its million members rode wide and handsome, cutting a fancy swath of strikes with Government approval, also cutting in on the benefits of Cárdenas' expropriations. But meeting last week in Mexico City, the 4,589 delegates to the annual CTM convention were puzzled, disunited, sore. The cause was just one man, Cárdenas' heir, Manuel Avila Camacho, whom the CTM had helped to elect President of Mexico.

i only heard enter so didnt know what to expect. this is amazing, so different to their debut. so much heavier and more atmospheric. less focus on being catchy and more on just on blasting you in the face. so good. it just has something that other post-metal bands are missing. love that second track. are their other recent albums more similar to this or enter?
can not stop listening to that second track.

You want them to be VERY clean so the paint will stick. 6) Paint on some cardboard outside (they were moved inside for the pictures) and use THIN EVEN coats. Make SURE to spray at least 12" away if not 15" away and do NOT start or end your spraying while on the actual calipers. Make sure to start and end your sprays after you have passed over the caliper. 7) While your waiting for your calipers to dry to the touch (roughly 1-1.5 hours) remove your old caliper mounting brackets (two 19mm bolts) and then your rotors. Here is a comparison shot between the old and new rotors: 8) Now per the AEM instructions use the Hex bolt to put on the new bracket: 9) Next, put the new rotor on, the caliper mounting brackets on and then load the mounting brackets with your pads and anti-squeel shims. 10) Finally, mount your calipers and attach the brake lines per the Scooby Mods instructions above. 11) Bleed your brakes and make sure to get all of your old brake fluid out completely. I used nearly an entire bottle of brake fluid. 12) Here is where things got interesting... When I tried to mount my 17" Rota SubZero wheel, they didnt fit. After a bit of cursing we looked closely at how it didnt fit and realized that it was the outer edge of the caliper that was rubbing. If you look closely at this picture you can see how deep this "divet" is in the caliper and then look at how much I had to grind off: As you can tell, I had to remove quite a bit off the edge of the caliper. It is not enough to create a safty risk, but it is enough that you need to be aware of this. I am sure that with an 18" wheel I would have been fine, but some 17" wheels will not fit properly. It took about an hour to grind it off and smooth it out. After a quick touchup job on the paint, it looks basically stock: After over 100 miles of driving I have had no ill-effects of the grinding or any subsequent rubbing. I was able to make a very small (0.05") gap between the wheel and had to move some of my wheel weights to more inside of the wheel and things have been great. Here is a pic of the brakes after the brake in period (per the instructions):

Meet Pasquale, King Of Neapolitan Pizza — From Nagoya, Japan
It's official: The world's best maker of traditional Neapolitan pizza goes by the name of Pasquale. Akinari Pasquale Makishima, to be precise.
Last week the 33-year-old Japanese chef beat out a local pizzaiolo to win the top prize in an international bake-off in Naples, organized by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (Association for Genuine Neapolitan Pizza). Mr. Makishima's achievement marked the first time a Japanese chef took the title, topping a field of 150 chefs in a Renzo Piano-designed mall-cum-leisure center within erupting distance of Mount Vesuvius, including representatives from Italy, Spain and the U.S.
Despite some huffing and puffing in the local press — "How Humiliating, The King of Pizza Is Japanese", moaned one site — it was still, arguably, a very Italian win.

Jimi is one of those things that everybody needs, but it is so simple that nobody ever really tackled the issue. Many of you that use an iMac or a Thunderbolt display know the issue. Every time you want to connect something to the USB ports of the computer, you have to completely reach around the computer, most of the time actually get up or turn the computer around. Bottom line: it is very annoying. Jimi by Blueloung finally solves that problem – it is a "J" shaped USB extension that makes the port easy to reach from the front of the computer. Get it now here.

Iterating on Mindfulness: Finding Calm in Silicon Valley
A version of this story aired on NPR's All Things Considered.
The annual Wisdom 2.0 conference in San Francisco might be the only business convention in the city focused on slowing down. It brings in thousands of people for talks like "Technology and Healing" and "Three Steps To Build Corporate Mindfulness the Google Way."
The San Francisco Bay Area has a decades-long history of embracing Eastern spirituality, and it's also the longtime home of the tech sector. Yoga and meditation classes are popular with the region's tech workers. Greeting his audience earlier this year, Wisdom 2.0 founder Soren Gordhamer told them, "Often in tech conferences and other conferences, speakers come out and they're met with laptops open, and the speakers can't feel you, can't sense you, can't be with you. So I have a lot of gratitude for the presence that you all bring."
At Wisdom 2.0, attendees pay up to $2,500 each to learn how to better listen, connect, and observe in the course of a fast-paced life. And the conference is growing — just last week, a business-focused Wisdom 2.0 was held in New York.
Gopi Kallayil is a top executive at Google, and a regular speaker at the conference. In a Wisdom 2.0 talk this year, he demonstrated yoga postures that can be done anywhere from a hotel room to the workplace. At Google Headquarters in Mountain View, he teaches yoga every Monday afternoon to his "Yoglers," a cohort that's grown to a few dozen people since Kallayil began teaching these classes eight years ago.
Kallayil's official role at the company is Chief Evangelist for Brand Marketing, and he's just as enthusiastic about Google's culture as he is about yoga, which he learned at an ashram as a teenager in India. He says globally, hundreds of Google workers take part in some sort of relaxation or wellness practice on the job. Facebook and Twitter offer perks like these, too.
Kallayil said mindfulness practices could become popular with millions of Americans because they're embraced by so many workers at the most successful tech firms. "These are seen as forward thinking companies that are driving massive amounts of change in short amounts of time. In many cases the brands behind those companies, whether it's Google or HP or Yahoo or Facebook, all are iconic brands, and that gives it a certain legitimacy."
In fact, a well-known mindfulness program called "Search Inside Yourself" began at Google. It draws on neuroscience, and promises to build skills that will boost workers' performance and leadership. Companies from Genentech, to SAP, to Ford have used elements of the Search Inside Yourself program, and the company has a teacher training program to help disseminate the curriculum in the workplace. It's a major selling point that Search Inside Yourself emerged from within Google's celebrated corporate culture.
Anthony Williams, the founder of Empowerment Yoga, says he's been hired by tech companies that are interested in how yoga can help their workers increase creativity, productivity, and ultimately, their bottom line. He starts with simple breathing practices that can be done while a worker sits in a boardroom chair. Even among purportedly open-minded Silicon Valley types, Williams says, he sometimes notices a resistance to learning Eastern wisdom practices, but "I let them know, this is not a religion. They call it 'the yoga sciences.'"
He reassures tech workers that, "If you don't have a religion, I'm not trying to give you one," and tells them to think of yoga as a glass of water — "it goes with everything."
But Williams acknowledged that the notion of divorcing yoga from its spiritual foundation might be disturbing to some teachers, including his own, who adhere to strict protocols. "Being here in the Bay has taught me to let go of that dogma," he said. "You need to meet people where they are, period."
Angel investor Jason Calacanis is also interested in re-contextualizing mindfulness in hopes of bring more Americans on board — as paying customers. He told me he's been interested in mindfulness practices since seeing Star Wars as a kid, "because I actually thought the force existed." He splits his time between Santa Monica and San Francisco, and said it makes perfect sense that the Bay Area has become the launchpad for Eastern wisdom practices to reach more Americans — inside their workplaces, and perhaps, on their phones.
"San Francisco is barely part of the United States," he joked recently at his office near the city's Tenderloin district. "The way people live here is as fringe as fringe gets. You have this massively open population and some number of them want to be high performers, and another number of them want to be enlightened, actually. So it's a perfect storm for anything like yoga or meditation."
Calacanis first tried meditation after learning about how elite athletes were using it to improve focus and awareness, but he says most people don't believe in the science behind it. He sees this as a business opportunity. "I think the medical industry will embrace this at some point," he opined, "because, I think people have reached the end of road when it comes to prescription drugs.
Calacanis says there's no "national brand" for meditation, and that's why he just invested $375,000 into Calm.com, a mobile app that delivers daily visualization exercises and positive affirmations. Its founder, Alex Tew, said relative to a website that delivers mindfulness tutorials, going to a medication class or reading a book about it are "high-friction." He wanted to create an online experience that would give people exposure to the underlying concepts of mindfulness in short, two-minute meditations: "just give them a little taste."
Calm.com and other guided meditation apps like Simply Being and Headspace are trying to capitalize on a potentially lucrative market — the roughly 90 percent of the American public that has yet to try mindfulness. But to others, the idea of Silicon Valley iterating on mindfulness seems like the ultimate irony.
At this year's Wisdom 2.0, the protesters who are known for blocking tech buses marched onstage and unfurled a banner that read, "Eviction Free San Francisco" — hoping to bring their own ideas about compassion to interested tech workers.
Protestor Amanda Ream, who's also a member of the East Bay Meditation Center, says tech firms' impact on San Francisco rents can't be reconciled with Buddhist practices of non-harm. "I really believe that tech companies are at the forefront of trying to create a new corporate culture, and that this is an awkward and painful process for them," she told me. "I hope mindfulness and the teachings of the Buddha will help bring them to the table with people like us who are living right at the edges of the havoc that's being created in the city of San Francisco right now."
Ream says the Wisdom 2.0 organizers later sent protesters an email later saying they could have applied to host a workshop at the conference, which Ream says costs hundreds of dollars that her group doesn't have. "I hope that we'll see in the coming Wisdom 2.0, workshops that actually talk about critical issues facing our city."
After a brief tussle during the conference disruption, the protestors were removed from the stage. The speaker whose session had been interrupted asked the crowd to check in with their bodies. "What's our relationship to conflict, and how do we show up for it?," he asked.
It was silent for a while, then applause broke out. Already, next year's conference is almost halfway sold out.

Seven's Mediterranean Turkish Grill—Neighborhood Find
By Alix Cohen
Almost hidden among the small shops and eateries of 72nd St. between Columbus and Amsterdam, Seven's Mediterranean Turkish Grill offers fresh, gently seasoned, extremely good, classic meals in a casual neighborhood atmosphere. Come to our shopping event at Boutique Off Broadway on Thursday May 13, and enjoy a discount when you dine at this Upper East Side restaurant. (See story on our front page).
The approximately twenty by sixty dining room (there are also a few tables by a small service bar) is painted saffron yellow, decorated with kitchy regional accents. The lighting is forgiving, the music barely audible. This is a place one can actually talk without atmospheric competition. Service is excellent, friendly, and actually offered by waitresses born in the area of the cuisine, not aspiring actors. The bill is moderate. Frankly, what more could one ask?
We started with glasses of the Malbec, which was full bodied and woody. At the same time, a basket of irresistible oil-brushed bread with black sesame seeds arrived. (Made in house) We were tempted to decimate the thick, savory rectangles but appetizers were served promptly.
Appetizers: Mediterranean Salad: romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, tomato and cucumber topped with feta and black olives, tossed in the lightest oil and lemon dressing, is balanced and tasty. (Shepherd's Salad, enjoyed at an earlier lunch time visit, is equally palatable, perfectly crunchy, and makes a healthy, flavorful meal mixed with an excellent humus.) We found the Char-Grilled Calamari tender, almost delicate; its unexpected condiment a yoghurt dressing for which I can think of many uses. The splendid Mixed Appetizer Plate is comprised of a hearty serving of lebni, humus, eggplant salad, tabuleh, and eggplant with sauce, each better than its neighbor and none of them afflicted with the excess salt so prevalent in meze these days.
Entrees: Sauted Shrimp with fresh tomato, onions, and green peppers is treated to another light sauce (clearly, a skill of this kitchen) which blends with the natural juice of the vegetables. Rice is well separated; a ready absorber of the pleasing liquids.
The Mixed Grill is so generous it could feed two or provide lunch the next day: a large oval platter of: chicken Adana kebab (a ground and mildly spiced "sausage") thinly sliced, lamb shish kebab (without its skewer,) doner kebab (a soupcon of the ground lamb recipe generally found in a gyro,) a lamb chop, and two chunks of chicken kebab with rice and shredded greens. Whew. Each meat is nicely cooked to its own requirements.
Desserts: Baklava is simply ambrosial and fresh Baked Rice Pudding, is smoother and creamier than any I've sampled. The decaffeinated coffee is quite good (embarrassing to order in a predominantly Turkish bastion) and the Turkish coffee rates high.
Here is a restaurant to think of for lunch or dinner after shopping at Fairway, Zabar's, Urban Outfitters, or Boutique Off Broadway. A place to stop after walking up from a performance at Lincoln Center, a film at Lincoln Plaza or before attending a show literally upstairs at The Triad. Your meal will be healthy and good, the experience completely pleasant and your company, mercifully audible. A neighborhood find.

NBA Playoff Schedule 2013: Thursday's TV Info, Preview, Predictions and MoreMay 16, 2013
The second round of the 2013 NBA playoffs are winding down, but things should only get more exciting with two potential eliminations on the line this Thursday night.
Both the New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors have their backs against the wall and will be fighting for their postseason survival in front of a national audience.
Will they be able to vanquish their foe and live another day, or will their offseason begin early?
Keep reading to read all about the games, including where and when to watch them, short previews, predictions on the final scores and more.
Indiana Pacers vs. New York Knicks, Game 5, Eastern Conference Semifinals
When: Thursday, May 16 at 8 p.m. ET
Watch: TNT
Where: Madison Square Garden, New York, N.Y.
Series Record: Pacers 3, Knicks 1
This series finally returns to the Big Apple, but it may just be too late for the Knickerbockers.
New York has been manhandled over the duration of this series, and barring an incredible 30-2 run in Game 2, easily could have been swept.
The Pacers are simply the better club and have been utilizing their elite defense and length to hinder the Knicks shooters and stall the offense. If Indiana can keep J.R. Smith's percentages in the dumpster for one more game, it should be the end for New York.
The Sixth Man of the Year award-winner has averaged 13.3 points in this series, but he's shooting an appalling 28.1 percent from the field and a horrific 23.1 percent from beyond the arc.
Outside of Carmelo Anthony, no one on the Knicks roster is able to generate buckets consistently. Shutting down Smith has been the unquestioned key to Indy's success thus far.
If that continues on Thursday, expect the Pacers to advance into the Eastern Conference finals.
Prediction: Pacers 84 - Knicks 81
San Antonio Spurs vs. Golden State Warriors, Game 6, Western Conference Semifinals
When: Thursday, May 16 at 10:30 p.m. ET
Watch: ESPN
Where: Oracle Arena, Oakland, Calif.
Series Record: Spurs 3, Warriors 2
After a rousing Game 4 victory on Mother's Day, the Dubs fell apart in San Antonio just two days later.
The Spurs held the dynamic backcourt of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson to just 13 total points and ran away with a 109-91 victory in Game 5.
That just can't happen again for the Warriors, as they will surely be defeated in front of the hometown crowd on Thursday. Curry and Thompson need to chip in at least 20 points apiece in order for the Dubs to force a Game 7, but that is much easier said than done.
San Antonio proved that it could match the intensity and athleticism of the younger Warriors in Game 5, which is something that should be extremely concerning for GSW coach Mark Jackson and his team.
They'll have to find another area to beat the Spurs in, but there just doesn't seem to be any glaring weaknesses—especially since they are now crashing the boards and running up and down the court with the same intensity as the Warriors.
Expect a back-and-forth battle that has an outcome largely hinging on how Curry and Thompson perform.
If they can dial it in from long range and put points on the board, this series is going seven. If not, the Dubs are going home.
Prediction: Warriors 101 - Spurs 99

Thanks to the (satirical) behind-the-scenes video below, we now know where Big Brother's challenges come from: a drug-addled monkey.
That's according to KCS Cougar's hysterical animated take on the show, which EW's Popwatch introduced me to. KCS Cougar has also offered other satirical reality show videos: the cast of NYC Prep, the Real Housewives of NYC reunion, and The Real Housewives of NJ talking to each other on the phone.
None are quite as funny as this, though, perhaps because we're in the middle of the season–and it's so damn true. Watching this video, I haven't laughed as hard as I have at anything Big Brother-related since B-Side's Jerry and Renny montage.
My only concern is that we'll actually see some of these challenges on TV, especially "hot dinosaur disco," which seems exactly like something we'd see this season:

Dear Cancer Frog Blog Readers,
It has been two years since my last post. Why did I stop? There are a few reasons. One, I started to dread thinking about cancer all the time. I wanted to think about the rest of life. Instead I had drawn a really ugly scary cartoon about hope and death and thought "Who wants to look at that?"
Two, I got lazy – I had framed all the cartoons and had a show of them at a local gallery. Many of my friends generously came to the opening and bought the framed pieces (which I was not expecting – I sort of forgot that the art was for sale and that the gallery wanted to make some money). After all this excitement and a return to work and recreating, I didn't feel like staying up till 1 in the morning to work on the blog. I became a couch potato. The last reason is the most embarrassing to of all. I got scared. Here is why – this was written at the time it happened:
January 2011
I continue to write down the names of famous people who die of cancer, Jill Clayburgh, American actress, of Leukemia, Maurice Lucas, basketball star, of bladder cancer, Pete Postlethwaite, British actor, unnamed cancer. This gets tiresome, seems elitist, not to mention wearing. So many people are dying of cancer everyday.
Chronicle Books has a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity. Make a donation and you can present your book idea to an appropriate editor. I print out some of the frog blog illustrations and three entries of text. It is a rainy day in San Francisco. I wear an ultramarine long raincoat whose fabric flows artistically. Chronicle's small retail store serves as the waiting room and many eager writers mill around, reading titles, leafing through books. I imagine the Cancer Frog Blog imprinted and bound professionally between two hard covers with amphibian textured end pages. What an honor, what a coup, what a perfect ending to this ordeal! I look at my notes for my Pitch. I feel a hot flash coming on but don't want to take off the attractive raincoat, as though the bright blue will help me get published.
Just before my turn to approach an editor in the Living and Style section, another candidate approaches me and we exchange book ideas.
"Oh, I had a friend who had cancer. She just died, four years after her diagnosis."
"What kind of cancer did she have?"
"Same as you," she says. My blood pounds in my temples and I am suddenly so hot, there is no question of leaving on the raincoat. I take it off, juggle it with my cheat sheets and blog excerpts. My name is called. I approach a small table and sit in front of a young woman with cropped dark hair, hip casual clothes. She is half my age. The raincoat slithers out of my grasp and puddles to the floor. My faces flushes. Instead of cool blue I present her with freaked out red.
I hand her the proposal with 3 pages of text and 15 printed illustrations from the blog. I stammer something about a memoir about cancer using a frog as the protagonist. She looks through the art. She does not read a single word. "I don't see how people could relate to a frog," she says, "and the quality of the art . . . Furthermore you have no platform." Later a friend of mine who is a published author tells me that editors these days are all looking for an author's "PLATFORM," like a diving board from which the work can soar with a fancy sequence of commercial gymnastics. "Have you seen Marisa Marchetto's book, Cancer Vixen?" My face flushes again. I hear: "You are a nobody. Your art sucks. Marisa is a famous New Yorker cartoonist. Her book is being made into a movie starring Cate Blanchette. Even Kermit wouldn't want to star in a film about you." To this young, ambitious and determined editor, I am just a statistic who will soon die of cancer.
"Who is reading your blog?" she asks.
"Friends, other people who come upon it or are referred to it. Everyone seems to like it."
"Well just keep writing it for your friends. Thanks for coming by."
I try to smile graciously but feel my eyes shrinking into dark little beads of humiliation. I grab my notebook and the raincoat, which keeps snaking off my arm. I am so hot I don't try to wrestle it on as I hurry past the tidy shelves of smug published books into the drizzle. A car honks at me as I dodge blindly across the bustling San Francisco traffic.
End of the post. So the young editor's opinion was enough to scare me into inactivity. Because of the disappearance of the blog, people have even wondered whether I have died. Well I have not – yet. And the Cancer Frog Blog is back!!!

- "Los Santos Transit owns and operates the public transit system that none of its city's inhabitants actually use."
- ― Description at Bawsaq.com.
Los Santos Transit is the transportation authority network in Los Santos, San Andreas in Grand Theft Auto V. The player can buy stocks from them at the Bawsaq.com website.
Los Santos Transit operates bus services and a light rail system. It is based on the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The Arrow is the name of the light rail system while the Bullet is the name of the bus system.
The Bullet
The Bullet is the name of the bus network in Los Santos. There are four colours of buses: blue, red, orange and turquoise. They can be found around the city and all of them have Downtown LS, as their destination; according to their overhead sign. In Grand Theft Auto Online, the only way to obtain a bus is to purchase one or visit the Dashound Bus Center in Textile City which is used as a depot for the LST buses.
The bus system extends out of Los Santos as far as Paleto Bay, as seen in the Paleto Score Setup where Lester arrives on an LST bus from Los Santos. However, outside of this mission, LST buses cannot be seen in Paleto Bay.
The Arrow
The Arrow is the name of Los Santos' only light rail line. The line has 11 stations and expands through most of the largest neighborhoods in Los Santos and the incorporated city of Davis. The system is both overground and underground. The trains are based on the real-life Siemens P2000 cars.
The network starts and ends with loops at Davis and at Los Santos International Airport. An extension to Vinewood is under construction. The extension tunnels can be seen on the map when at stations or when riding the tram.
A full loop of the arrow system takes approximately 52 minutes in real time, or 26 hours in-game.
The LST is based on the Los Angeles County Metro Rail; the underground segment resembles the Red Line; the above ground segments are based on the light rail lines of Los Angeles.
According to a Weazel News radio segment, the Los Santos Transit Authority announced funding for a new street car project for $16,000,000,000. Rails will run on many popular streets, shutting them down for years during construction, and are promised to move traffic up to 3mph.
An announcement speaker can occasionally be heard in all stations. There are 15 quotes.[1]
- Davis Station - Carson Avenue, Davis.
- Pillbox South Station - Alta Street, Pillbox Hill.
- Little Seoul Station - San Andreas Avenue, Little Seoul.
- Del Perro Station - Prosperity Street, Del Perro.
- Portola Drive Station - Portola Drive, Rockford Hills.
- Burton Station - San Vitus Boulevard, Burton.
- Pillbox North Station (Closed/Under Construction) - Downtown.
- Strawberry Station - Olympic Freeway and Strawberry Avenue, Strawberry.
- Puerto Del Sol Station - Innocence Boulevard, Little Seoul.
- LSIA Parking Station - Los Santos International Airport car-park.
- LSIA Terminal 4 Station - New Empire Way, Los Santos International Airport.
Interior maps
- The ticket machines in the ground level stations are exact copies of the real LA Metro ticket machines, even with the in-game rendition featuring the copyrighted Tap card logo on the machines.
- It is stated in a Weazel News segment that the transit system is extremely unpopular and for "losers", but commuters still need to take it in order to avoid the dreaded Los Santos traffic.
- It is stated in a later Weazel News segment that strippers will be located on all LST buses in the indefinite future.
- While in LST stations, the player can hear various announcements over the PA. Despite one of the announcements asking riders to not use cell phones and computers, the player may safely use their cell phone while riding.
- Other announcements over the PA include: "Your safety is important to us, surveillance cameras are posted, though not monitored" and "Riding a train is not an excuse for inappropriate touching, no matter how tempting."
- In Grand Theft Auto Online, the doors of the trains do not close.
- Unlike in Grand Theft Auto IV, the train will stop when anything is in its way, as long as the driver is alive.
- It's possible that the line "Take the Bullet" seen on the back of LST buses was mocking the Toronto Transit Commission's tagline "Ride the Rocket".

Watch a Moose Chase a Snowboarder in Wyoming
Snowboarding can be a lot of fun, but snowboarding while being chased by a moose may not be the kind of fun you were hoping for.
This Wyoming snowboarder somehow got into a snow race with a moose -which I can't imagine is a good idea.In this case, it seems to have turned out okay. We aren't exactly sure if the moose was up for fun and games, but the guys on the slope didn't seem overly concerned.
This is a talented guy, though. He's able to snowboard, take a video, and avoid the moose all at the same time!

My almost 5 yr old has been a vehicle of some sort every year, and this year he decided on being a commuter train. A Marc train, since we're in the Mid-Atlantic corridor & he sees it the most often.
Ready for candy! We put a tap light & blinking red light on the front, too. All sewn & painted by me, the hat was purchased long ago. Hand made my girls' costumes, too, but they didn't photograph well- angel & alien.
He explained what he was to everyone, whether they asked or not, & yelled CHOO CHOOO up & down the block all night. Did me proud!

Ryan Gosling And Emma Stone Ooze Sex In This Gangster Squad Poster
I feel like Sean Penn, Josh Brolin and I just walked in on the end of an all-night crazy, stupid, but loving sex session between Gangster Squad co-stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. The sexual tension emanating from this newly released poster's so strong that I worry that if I look directly into their eyes, I'll get pregnant. Just like that.
So needless to say, I'm typing this up with condoms on my fingers. Why take any chances?
Especially when their smoldering stares are just a great reminder that these two co-stars have had movie-sex together before. They can't even be on a poster together without pulling off some side-eye with a hint of "maybe later."
The highly-anticipated movie about cops fighting gangsters in the semi-olden days comes out on September 7th. Because Hollywood law says that Emma Stone and/or Ryan Gosling need to star in a movie every single month. Otherwise, at the stroke of midnight on the movie-less month, everyone's face lifts will come undone. It's scary, but it's true.
And don't even ask me what happens if Hollywood goes two months without putting out a Stone/Gosling film. Because that involves the Kardashians reproducing and churning out a child that looks just like Bruce Jenner — complete with drawn-on eyebrows and pierced ears. The horror!
Luckily for us, Hollywood is on the ball and Emma Stone as well as Ryan Gosling are both set to star in approximately 17 more movies each this year. You know, they'll film those in between giving charming interviews, saving people from being hit by cabs and other activities that will make you love-hate-envy them even more.

In Battlefield America: The War on the American People, the follow-up to his award-winning book A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead paints a terrifying portrait of a nation at war with itself and which is on the verge of undermining the basic freedoms guaranteed to the citizenry in the Constitution. Indeed, police have been transformed into extensions of the military, towns and cities have become battlefields, and the American people have been turned into enemy combatants, to be spied on, tracked, scanned, frisked, searched, subjected to all manner of intrusions, intimidated, invaded, raided, manhandled, censored, silenced, shot at, locked up, and denied due process.
Yet this police state did not come about overnight. As Whitehead notes, this shift into totalitarianism cannot be traced back to a single individual or event. Rather, the evolution has been so subtle that most American citizens were hardly even aware of it taking place. Yet little by little, police authority expanded, one weapon after another was added to the police arsenal, and one exception after another was made to the standards that have historically restrained police authority. Add to this mix the merger of Internet megacorporations with government intelligence agencies, and you have the making of an electronic concentration camp that not only sees the citizenry as databits but will attempt to control every aspect of their lives. And if someone dares to step out of line, they will most likely find an armed SWAT team at their door.

"Fantastic. "
Best audio book have listened to to date..and very clearly laid out if you have an concern and I mean any concern as to where we've been and where we are going. this is a MUST read.will definitely be checking out again
"You'll want to pay attention to Mr Whitehead."
Hard to imagine the sort of person who would dismiss this compelling case about severe problems in our democracy. You've all likely seen pieces of this story in the news. But nowhere else will you find the full breadth and depth of arguments against the authoritarian state were evolving into. (And Ive read a dozen related books before - none near as complete, gripping and convincing).
In contrast to another reviewer's complaint, I found the author does a very credible and clear job of recommending how we take action.
America needs more people like author John Whitehead. A lot more. I hope some day you will join us.
"Wake up America"
Listen and learn.
Free your mind.
This is a well organized overview of the expanding American police state.
"The battle against our freedoms"
This book contains things that most of us 'amused to death' Americans need to be made aware of.
"Wake Up Americans, we are not in control !"
I was completely taken aback by some of the facts in this story.
It seems that we are completely controlled by the political elite!
"Tempus fugit"
Stop looking. Buy it and listen, and insist that everyone you know does the same. Tempus fugit.
"Battlefield America"
This "story" is exactly what is happening unless large numbers of people stop it.
I will listen again & again. The narrator was great!
"Great Book Easy to Understand and to the Point"
Information everyone should know but sadly most don't or deny about the world they live in.
"A sobering reality"
This is a well written and well researched book which peels back the veneer of the police state which our great nation has become, revealing the unseemly underbelly of it all.
It is sobering in the sense that you get that the fox is already running the hen house, but it also gives some cause for hope because of the voices such as John Whitehead, Ron and Rand Paul and others
Well worth reading.
"thought provoking"
author gives us pause to think about the difference between what we've been taught and our true reality.

My glasses steamed up, but OK with me
Awkward, delicious time at Little Sheep
Ian Anderson 9:30 a.m., Nov. 23
'Iwas born to host," says Wine Cabana owner Keith Frantz. It's a calling with a simple enough first premise: "When somebody comes to your house, you make sure they have something to eat, a place to sit, and something to drink." That's for starters; the common courtesy of manners and etiquette forms the next course. "My dad took all us kids to fine-dining establishments when we were, like, eight years old," he recalls. "He taught us the napkins, the forks -- to get up when a woman gets up." And if something should somehow go wrong, "I deal with complaints the same way they deal with them at Disneyland -- 'What can I do to make you happy?'"
Small wonder, then, that Frantz wound up filling a position that's as close to Professional Host as anything out there: a hotel bartender in Hawaii. "I love to bartend. I was built to bartend. It's what I was put on this planet to do. You get someone there for 15 days, and they're in your bar every day." You become the unofficial concierge, the friendly face in a strange place, pouring your opening round for the night. "You get celebrities, rich people saying, 'Where would you go to dinner?'"
Answering that question is, in a roundabout way, what brought Frantz to where he is today. "All of these hotels have at least one fine-dining place. I used to send people from the Hyatt Regency to the Grill Room at the Ritz-Carlton." And the restaurant was appropriately grateful for the business. "You're taking care of the people who take care of you -- it's the service industry. So my girlfriend and I would have a $450 dinner and a $600 bottle of wine, and the bill would be something like $80. Or the manager would say, 'Comp that.' And then you tip them $300." That's how he started drinking the sorts of wines that any number of 27-year-olds only read about.
Eventually, he brought his newfound interest home from the restaurant. "On my way home, I'd have three or four hundred bucks from a shift, and I'd stop in a liquor store and buy a bottle. I built a little cellar in my condo, and pretty soon, I had something like 430 bottles," at least some of which now adorn the Wine Cabana's reserve list.
Frantz kept up the practice once he returned to the mainland -- only now, besides bartending at Petco Park and elsewhere, he was running a casino dealing and bartending school in Kearny Mesa. As part of his bottle hunts, he started making regular visits to Julian Velovan at the Wine Lover. "He'd always sell me a $200 bottle of wine," says Frantz. They must have showed well -- when Velovan migrated to the Wine Encounter, Frantz followed him there. Later still, when the peripatetic Velovan got a bartending/wine coordinator gig down at the Westgate, he gave Frantz a call -- the wine pro "needed to learn how to make some of the other drinks. After that, we just remained friends, and I told him, 'If I ever open a wine bar...'"
Frantz sold the bartending school in 2005. "When I sold the school, I was either going to open a sports bar or a wine bar, and I didn't want to have anything to do with my friends being wrecked on Jagermeister at two in the morning." In contrast, "Wine can complement food; it can complement your mood; it can complement a certain time." He remembers a three-liter of '99 Ridge Montebello, drunk with a childhood friend with whom he used to bike Montebello Road. "We saved the cork, wrote our names and the date on the cork. It was such a perfect time that we had together -- that's part of what wine is for me." Wine it was.
Velovan and Frantz started scouting locations and found what they were looking for on Congress Street in Old Town. "There's a renaissance going on down here. They're building an Extraordinary Desserts--type place across the street. They're going to knock over the building next door and build a Mercado like this one. I walked from here to a restaurant nearby and drew everything just the way it is now in here on the placemat. I still have it, dated 3/25/06." (Various nightmare dealings with the Powers That Be pushed his opening date to November; the bar just celebrated its one-year anniversary.)
This particular location, pre-renaissance, was a pottery shop and a sunglass shop, occupying one side of a three-sided courtyard. "I was thinking, 'Let's have wine in the title, but let's talk about Old Town. Wine Piazza, Wine Plaza, and then -- Wine Cabana.'" Cabana it was, and cabanas there are -- several inside, and several more outside, along the courtyard's opposite wall. Countertop-ringed fire pits fill the space between. "There are a lot of little intimate areas," says Frantz, noting the main bar, the smokers' bar facing the street, the interior rooms, and the curtained cabanas. "I designed everything, and when I built this place, people said, 'What are you doing?' I definitely had a vision; I wanted a place in Old Town that was tropical -- between San Diego and Cabo and Hawaii. I go to places like Baleen or the Catamaran, and I like those places. I didn't want downtown. I like to go downtown, but I wanted someplace more relaxed. I could never have gotten this vibe down there."
And response to the finished product seems to indicate that other people are okay with it, too. Tourists find it an oasis during their tromps around the neighborhood, but there's a solid local clientele as well, partly because Frantz keeps things busy. "I wanted there to always be something going on. There are always people coming to visit -- friends and family." What to do with guests? Check the calendar. Mondays are Monday Night Football and Industry Nights. Wednesdays get tastings (France vs. Italy, etc.), Tuesdays get chocolate, Sundays get Champagne Soirees and Dog Day Afternoon. "A girl came out on the patio, and she had her boxer out there, just sitting on the ground. I was, like, 'That's great. Let's have a day for that.' One Sunday a month, you bring your dog out here -- we cover the furniture, and we have kibble and stuff for them." Also popular: ugly-shirt contests and the end-of-month birthday bash. "If your birthday was in the month of November, you get cake, appetizers, and free champagne. Your friends get cake and appetizers."

Today, Congresswoman Shea-Porter announced she is an original co-sponsor of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA Reauthorization). The VAWA Reauthorization is a critical update to federal law on domestic violence and sexual assault and it is supported by law enforcement, religious organizations, and social service professionals.
"The reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act is long overdue," said Congresswoman Shea-Porter. "We must do more to stop violence against women. My hope is that this bill can pass the House in a bipartisan manner, like it passed in the Senate."

What games are you playing now?
View Single Post
November 4th, 2012, 03:01
playing 2 pretty good games.
First off, playing an Engineer in Torchlight 2, running around w/ my ferret killing stuff. It's good for what it is.
A more uncommon game is occupying the rest of my time, it's a unique little title called
"A Game of Dwarves"
. Basically, it's a dwarven kingdom sim. Think DungeonKeeper meets Dwarf Fortress. I'm only a couple hours in, but thinking this is going to be up in my all time faves. The concept is just so cool, I'm making my own little underground dwarven empire! I'm a sucker for this type of sim.

The context where the university admissions exams are performed is presented and the main concerns about this exams are outlined and discussed from a statistical point of view. The paper offers an illustration of the use of random coefficient models in the study of educational data. The association between two individual scores (one internal and the other external to the school) and the effect of the school in the external exam is analized by a regression model with random intercept and fixed slope. A variance component model for the analysis of the grading process is also presented. The paper ends with an outline of the main findings and the presentation of some specific proposals to improve and control the equity of the system. Some pedagogic reflections are also included.
