Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week At Techdirt
from the extra-extra-for-the-long-weekend deptSo, it turns out the most insightful post of the week (by a long shot) was actually this comment from Marcus Carab about Turntable.fm, but since we already had Marcus turn it into a separate post all on its own, let's just move down the list.
Instead, the official winner this week is Rose M. Welch, responding to the silly story about how some reporter was trying to claim that the hilarious book Go the F**k to Sleep was somehow dangerous to children. Rose did a nice job responding to the ridiculous rhetorical question asked in the article, and clearly the community here agreed with her and gave her the votes:
Imagine if this were written about Jews, blacks, Muslims or Latinos...Nicely done. Coming in
I tried. It didn't make any sense, since parents are not caregivers to any of the groups he listed. In fact, since you have to imagine a position of authority over one or more of these grouping to even get to the place where Arredondo apparently is, I'd suggest that he's the one with the problem here.
For far too many kids, the obscenities found in Mansbach's book are a common, everyday household language.
Okay, you know what? Words are just words. It's now what's said, but how it's said that matters. My children aren't going to feel any different about hearing the word 'shit' than they would hearing the word 'yowza', or different about 'damnit' when I stub my toe rather than 'darnit', provided that they have the same inflection. So the words themselves aren't a problem.
However, I understand that what the writer means is that some parents verbally abuse their children as a matter of course, which is irelevant since the parents who do so aren't going to be shocked or amused by this book in the first place.
Again, the writer seems to be the one with the problem. I'm going back to listen to Samuel L. Jackson read the book again. Bye!
If the US Constitution is the supreme law of the land, then there need to be criminal penalties for those politicians who conspire to violate it. On the civil side, the politicians who voted for such laws should be required to reimburse the taxpayers for the legal costs. That would likely end them voting for all these obviously unconstitutional laws in the first placeAs for editor's choice, I'm actually going with the next three top voted posts anyway, because they were all good. First up was E. Zachary Knight, responding to someone on that same story as Rose above, when they sided with the person claiming that GtFtS was dangerous. This commenter worried that parents would read the book and think it's okay to talk to children this way -- and EZK set them straight:
I think you miss the point. This book is not advocating parenting tips. This book is a humor book aimed at adults and specifically adults who have kids. It is humorous because it externalizes the inner monolog parents have had late at night when their kids won't sleep.And, finally on the insightful side, we've got two separate posts on my story noting that if photography is considered original artwork, so should pixelated artwork. First up, we had Jake Rome suggest the real problem in the Jay Maisel case (and with other copyright infringement lawsuits) was the ridiculous nature of statutory damages rates:
You won't find this book on the kids book shelf at the book store. You won't find this book in the self help section or the parenting section. You will find this book in the Humor section of book stores. That is what you are supposed to take it as.
If someone reads this book and decides to actually talk to their kids this way, it is a problem with the person not the book
The fucktarded part of this whole mess is that the staturory damages are wholly out of line with reality. By all means, Maisel should be able to sue for damages, even treble damages with lawyer fees awarded. With total sales in the thousands and less than 10% of that attributable to the photo, a payment in mid hundreds would seem quite reasonable.And, finally, we've got Rob Sheridan on the same topic of pixelated art, giving his view as an artist/photographer:
But no, we�ve allowed Mickey Mouse corporations to extend copyright assignments to last decades and sometimes centuries instead of 14 years. We�ve allowed them to set statutory damages at such an obscenely high level that whole business models are now built around suing for infringing registered works where the underlying works never had commercial value even approaching 1/10 that assigned by the inane copyright regime. We�ve allowed and encouraged industry cartels to band together to sue citizens for tens of thousands of dollars for listening to a $1 song without jumping through the right hoops.
We�ve allowed the corporatists to squeeze the life out of artists such that commercial productions will refuse to quote 20 words of song lyrics in a 20,000 word book without obtaining proper clearances. We�ve allowed whole genres of art to be destroyed, as rap artists and music mashers can no longer create without begging for permission first to modify music in the same way as has been done for millenniums. We�ve gone lifetimes without a single work of art entering the public domain, instead allowing 4th generation descendents to distort their great grandparents work by schilling great works to the Disney or the other high bidder such that these layabouts can profit off the work that belongs to all of society.
And the photogs supporting these laws are the most fucktarded of all, because if they don�t realize that we�re the next target for �permission based� copyright maximalists, then you haven�t been paying attention.
I'm a photographer, and I whole-heartedly agree with you here Mike. I commented about this back on the post about Mr. Brainwash and the Run DMC photo. It's interesting to me that most of these cases (see also the Obama/Fairey issue) seem to involve portraits of famous people where the creative contribution by the photographer has been pretty minimal. The interest and value of the photograph relies extremely heavily on its subject matter and the subject matter's cultural achievements - something the photographer had nothing to do with it. I find it incredibly egotistical that portrait photographers think they deserve such heavy control over what sometimes just amounts to a choice of how to frame a scene. That's not to say that Maisel's photograph isn't excellent - it is - but if it were the exact same photograph of a completely unknown jazz musician, would anyone care about it? Would it have any value? Would anyone want to recreate it in the first place? Of course not. Just as the pixel art recreation owes everything to the original photograph, the original photograph owes everything to Miles Davis. This is why I think celebrity portraiture (and most photography) is a transformative art in its own way, making it very hypocritical to cry lawsuit when someone transforms your transformation. And I am saying this as someone who's done a TON of this type of photography, as well as other types of photography that owe everything to the subject matter (scenery, monuments, events, etc). There is a lot of talent and skill and art involved in capturing a person or a scene - but at the end of the day you're transforming something that already exists, and you'd be wise to keep that in mind when someone transforms your transformation.Okay. Lots of insight, but everyone always seems more interested in the funny, so let's move on. We had a first place tie (I can't remember if that's happened before), so these two comments will share first place. First up, we had Hothmonster explaining his experience with the TSA:
I wear my jeans a little oversized so without my belt they started to slide off when he started the pat down. He asked me to hold them up, so at first I did. He started in back then moved around front and went down on his knees to check my ankles and I couldn't resist, I let those suckers drop. So he is on his knees in front of me with my boxers about an inch from his head and he looks up, we make eye contact and I wink.And, equally as funny according to the voters, was a short comment from Hulser concerning the US government's desire to seize the trademark on the logo of the Mongols motorcycle gang:
Now I am not a insecure guy to begin with and in the state I was in at the time I wouldnt have been embarrassed if he asked me to wear my cock like a wristwatch but this guy was not a happy camper. I made a few snide remarks as well and in retrospect I feel a little bad because I know this guy did not want to do this. But I definitely think that my lack of embarrassment in these situations means I should push the issue a bit. This guy didn't want to grope me to begin with and a few comments insinuating he is gay/i'm enjoying it certainly don't make him feel any better about what he is asked to do to make a living. Eventually maybe enough employees will complain/quit/strike that they can't fill these spots. Or they will fill them with guys who like touching balls which might get some conservative/religious/republican groups a little more involved in this issue.
Imagine some uptight senator getting patted down by a guy in a pink shirt with a rainbow belt, a lisp, purple gloves with a unicorn logo and frosted tips who lifts his balls and says something like "Im not sure you can carry that package on, we might have to store it in the rear.
This is outrageous! I mean, how am I supposed to know if the guy I'm buying crystal meth from is an actual Mongols member if I don't see their trademarked logo on his jacket?Coming in
Oooooh, imagine what a threat THAT shit would be! It seems like there's only one solution to make sure that Al Qaeda is not infiltrating the TSA.For editor's choice we've got some extras which I think are really fantastic to hopefully tide you over for the long weekend... First up, we've got Marcus Carab explaining how the "internal review" of the police officers who harassed a woman for filming them will go. He explains that there will be consequences:
Now announcing the TSASA (Pronounced Sah-sah, to make it fun). Yes, the Transportation Saftey Administration Safety Administration will carry out its duty (ha ha, I said duty) to proactively screen, monitor, and scrotum-twist TSA employees on a random basis.
Step one of this procedure is a pre-employment screening and background check. Once passed, the candidate will be hired on an interim basis, during which he/she is subject to random searches, nudie-scans, and beatings. After three months of this interim employment, the candidate is then considered a vetted employee and may forgoe these checks in favor super-painful ongoing testicle scans (SPOTS, like on puppies, you fools!) and random anal cavity exams (RACE, but this won't be fast, bitch).
With the TSASA (SAH-SAH!!!), you can rest assured that the TSA will be free from Al Qaeda terrorists and octegarian grandmothers wearing diapers (you ever sat next to one of those stink bomb ladies? They're the real terrorists, I can assure you).
But wait, what if Al Qaeda infiltrates the TSASA....
Consequences? Oh, you better believe there are consequences. First, they face the harrowing experience of an internal review, where highly sympathetic investigators give them total benefit of the doubt. Their fellow officers will each be rigorously interviewed, and their denials that they saw anything will only be accepted after the third or fourth repetition. Then it is entirely possible they will be smacked with the staggering punishment of paid suspension, or a transfer to an administrative job. The truly egregious offenders may end up in court, where their charges will be whittled down to the most meaningless of scraps until they are released and sent back to work where the rest of the force will be waiting with cake.Next, we have an Anonymous Coward proving, mathematically how it's entirely possible that two wrongs can make a right:
Not only are their consequences - it's practically inhumane!
Two wrongs can certainly make a right.Can't refute that, now can you?
Example: the math problem is 1 + 5 but you make two mistakes when writing it down
1) you use 11 instead of 1
2) you use a (-) instead of a (+)
The result is 6, which is right despite your two wrongs
Nick Dynice got me to laugh by responding to the post about two people drawing stick figures and using the phrase "it's crazy" and questions of whether or not that's copying, but adding his own imagery to the mix:
Please, use the doll to show the court where the Internet touched you.Anyway, we're off tomorrow for the 4th of July holiday, so go enjoy some fireworks and barbecue, and we'll be back on Tuesday.

NARR8 — a publisher of motion comics, interactive novels and nonfiction pieces — aims to push the envelope of how to read comics on your smartphone or tablet. But is it just hype or is there some bite to its bark?
I had the opportunity to check out the app during the Denver Comic Con earlier this month. Going in, I was a bit apprehensive about what to expect from it. When I hear the words "digital interactive comics," I think back to the early 2000s when some of the bigger comic book companies were exploring ways to build an audience utilize the interwebs. These early days were very basic: Click on a panel, it blows up on the screen and makes it easier to read.
As a comic book geek, I couldn't figure out why I would want to stare at my computer when I had perfectly good physical material to read – and ones that didn't have a loading delay.
But it is a decade later and we're living in a world filled with smartphones and tablets. Admittedly, I do have the Marvel Comics app on my phone now. It's much easier and less stressful than trying to read a new comic on the light rail (gotta keep them mint!).

Deron Williams scores Nets-record 57 in win over Bobcats
Knowing coach Avery Johnson would be giving his team the day off if they won, Williams took matters into his own hands and scored a franchise-record 57 points to lead the New Jersey Nets to a 104-101 victory on Sunday night over the Charlotte Bobcats.
Deron Williams really wanted to make his tee time on Monday morning in Miami.
Knowing coach Avery Johnson would be giving his team the day off if they won, Williams took matters into his own hands and scored a franchise-record 57 points to lead the New Jersey Nets to a 104-101 victory on Sunday night over the Charlotte Bobcats.
"I had an 11:39 tee time, so I had to make sure I'd make that," said Williams, an avid golfer. "So I wanted to contribute."
The Nets needed just about every point they could get from Williams to fend off the pesky Bobcats, who led by as many as 16 in the first half.
"The first half was pretty pitiful," Williams said.
Williams had 17 points in the first half before erupting for 22 in the third quarter to help the Nets battle back from an eight-point halftime deficit and take the lead. He added 18 points in the fourth quarter, including a pivotal shot late in the game to give the Nets a four-point lead.
Johnson called Williams' effort unbelievable.
"He really was focused," Johnson said. "He was well-rested. He made a lot of shots yesterday in our mini-practice and it carried over into tonight's game. We were going back and forth on whether to have a shootaround this morning and we opted for rest. And he was pretty fresh."
Williams' eyes grew a little wider when he realised early on that the Bobcats weren't double-teaming him off pick and rolls.
It's something he hadn't seen all season.
"I'm used to getting double-teamed on those," Williams said. "It's kind of refreshing not to be."
The 57 points are the most in the NBA this season and breaks the Nets' previous team record of 52 shared by Mike Newlin and Ray Williams.
It was the second-most points scored against the Bobcats, one shy of Kobe Bryant's 58 in 2006.
Williams, who came in averaging 21.7 points, shot 16 of 29 from the field and hit all 21 of his free throws. He did miss one attempt at the line, but the Bobcats were called for a lane violation and Williams hit the second chance.
Williams said he was a little surprised when a teammate told him he had 39 points at the end of the third quarter, three shy of his personal career best set April 6, 2010, against Oklahoma City.
"You really don't pay attention to it," Williams said. "It's just one of those games where you start feeling good and let it go."
Added teammate Sheldon Williams: "When someone is hitting like that you want to keep going to the well until it runs dry. It never did tonight."
However, not all went right for the Nets on this night as starting center Brook Lopez rolled his right ankle and left the locker room on crutches. Lopez, who made his season debut on February 19 after missing the Nets' first 32 games while recovering from a broken right foot, had an X-ray but will be reevaluated on Monday, according to Johnson.
"It's a tough situation for him, especially coming back from the foot situation," Johnson said. "We're going to get him checked out tomorrow. We'll know more when we find out."
Afterwards, Bobcats coach Paul Silas wasn't apologising for his team's approach to defending Williams.
"You can do one of two things: You can try to stop him and double him and leave other players wide open or guard everybody," Silas said. "I thought that's mainly what kept us in the game. Nobody else was doing anything (for them). It gave us a chance."
Corey Maggette had 24 points and Gerald Henderson added 15 for the Bobcats, who've now lost five straight and 21 of 22.
Williams did just about everything right, adding six rebounds and seven assists. He also converted a four-point play after getting fouled while knocking down a 3-pointer from the wing.
With the Nets leading 96-94 with 1:04 remaining, Kris Humphries missed two free throws but Sheldon Williams got a key momentum-turning rebound and called timeout. Deron Williams hit a big jumper to give the Nets a four-point lead and Sheldon Williams followed by converting a three-point play off a pretty pass from Jordan Farmar.
The Bobcats would cut the lead to two with 3.5 seconds left, but MarShon Brooks knocked down one of two free throws with 1.7 seconds left. The Bobcats had a final chance to tie the game but Augustin's off-balance heave from 20 feet didn't hit the rim.
"We didn't give up," Silas said. "That was a great thing. In the last 1.7 seconds, we didn't execute that play particularly well. But we did have a chance. That shows me that we are getting there. It's certainly not there yet. But we are striving to get there. At least we're not just giving up and letting teams just run over us. If we continue to do this, we'll be OK."

Here's a Press Release from King & Spaulding announcing the VBP scores the Government will be calculating for each hospital as required by ACA. The scores will rank your community's Hospital on a Quality Score that will by the government to reduce the Medicare reimbursement to your hospital.
Per a comment from local Healthcare guru CSteven Tucker, the Independent Payment Advisory Board will get these scores, and can use them for the algorithms they'll build defining just what's "quality" healthcare, but everyday citizens trying to make their own decisions won't have access.
Just another murky and secretive feature of ACA that those folks funded by AARP at Illinois Health Matters ought to come clear on to the public.
Below, per King & Spaulding (link follows),
On November 7, 2012, CMS posted notice announcing that actual percentage payment summary report for fiscal year (FY) 2013 Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) program was available on its QualityNet website. The report provides information to FY 2013 VBP Program participating hospitals of their actual, as opposed to estimated, Total Performance Score (TPS) and incentive payment adjustment for the first year of the VBP program. Hospitals must request a recalculation of their performance scores on each condition, domain, and TPS within 30 calendar days of the date on which their Value-Based Percentage Payment Summary Report is posted on QualityNet. An adverse determination from CMS on such recalculation request is a prerequisite to appeal. Therefore, failure to request recalculation within 30 days of posting on QualityNet will result in waiver of any future appeal of those issues.
CMS's notice is available here.

To many Southerners, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell's decision to reinstate Confederate History Month is simply a correction of the historical prism through which contemporary America sees the war that nearly broke the United States in two.
To many other Americans, however, Governor McDonnell's proclamation this week is a tip of the hat not just to the Old South, but also to the institution of slavery that defined life in the colonies as far back as 1607, until the Confederacy's demise with Gen. Robert Lee's surrender at Appomattox on April 9, 1865.
But both sides, rather than ferret out the multilayered truths and painful lessons of a bloody Civil War, are engaging in a tactic New York Times columnist Gail Collins called a "miracle of obfuscation," in which the battlefield is primarily the political arena.
"Today, [people] like to shop around through history selectively, to find a position in history that reflects their passions of today," says Lacy Ford, a University of South Carolina historian and author of the recently published "Deliver Us From Evil: The slavery question in the Old South." "But that's a very dangerous thing to do. History properly studied is the great enemy of political correctness and present-mindedness."
After facing widespread criticism, McDonnell late Wednesday amended the original proclamation to include a paragraph about slavery. It now notes "it is important for all Virginians to understand that the institution of slavery led to this war and was an evil and inhumane practice.…"
"We cannot avoid our past," the governor said in a separate statement.
Today's aversion to all things Confederate, so evident among groups like the NAACP, stems less from the dynamics of secession and more from the way that Southern governors in the 1950s and '60s such as Alabama's George Wallace would, in effect, stick the Confederate battle flag in the eyes of the civil rights movement as white Southerners attempted to preserve segregation, says Dr. Ford.
Though McDonnell has revised the proclamation to decry slavery, many Americans, including some Southerners, remain angry that Confederate History Month will be brought back after Virginia's two previous governors – Democrats Mark Warner and Tim Kaine – had abandoned it. They see in it an implied wink to a conservative interpretation of the Confederacy currently in vogue, experts say: that the Confederacy was a libertarian crusade for small government. It's a view few historians would support.
"Once again," writes Collins, "it's in [vogue] to talk secession."
"Actually," she adds, "a national discussion of Civil War history sounds fine – as long as we could start by agreeing that the whole leaving-the-union thing was a terrible idea. In the proclamations, it generally sounds as if everything went swimmingly until the part where the South lost and grudgingly rejoined the country."
Still, today's hyper-partisanship surrounding the Confederate History Month debate hints at the intensity of the age-old divide of the Mason-Dixon Line. "The Northern fanatics would no more let the South go than the Southern extremists would remain in the Union with them," is how historian Clifford Dowdey explained the war in the "The Land They Fought For."
For Ford, the University of South Carolina historian, the best possible result of the history month flap and next year's Civil War sesquicentennial is that it will amplify, not nullify, debates about the real lessons of the Confederacy. He points out that President Lincoln noted at his second inaugural that slavery "somehow" started the war, but that the institution was a national problem.
"You can say the word slavery and that explains the fundamental difference [between the North and South], but it doesn't explain every nuance of why the war came when it did, took the shape that it did, or how it was understood by people as it was," says Ford.

Nothing sets the holiday mood like twinkling lights, flickering candles, and a tree with all the trimmings. But, if you're not careful, those twinkles can turn into dangerous blazes. According to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), home fires involving Christmas trees and holiday lights result in roughly $25.2 million in direct property damage each year.
But don't despair — you can enjoy your adornments and stay safe too. Here are some easy-to-follow holiday safety tips to help you spread cheer the smart way.
Holiday safety tips
Christmas trees
Christmas trees cause hundreds of holiday fires. The reason? A dry tree makes for perfect kindling.
Here's how you can keep your tree fresh.
Select a recently cut tree:
- Look for needles that are green and bendable and a trunk that's sticky and sappy.
- Avoid trees with brown needles or needles that break easily.
- Check the freshness by standing the tree upright and bouncing it on its trunk. If the tree is freshly cut, only a few needles will fall.
Once you bring the tree home:
- Choose an appropriate location for it away from heat sources like fireplaces, heating vents, or space heaters.
- Cut the base of the trunk immediately before placing it in the tree stand to help it absorb water. (And never leave a tree standing in its temporary wooden stand.)
- Check the water levels daily and replace water as needed.
- Keep your tree for only 2 to 3 weeks to avoid having it dry out. When you're ready to dispose of the tree, check with your local waste services department to find out where to take it. (Many cities offer recycling as an option, and some will pick it up curbside).
Holiday lights and candles
According to the USFA, electrical fires are most common in December and January.
To safely decorate your home or tree:
- Use ultra-violet (UV) lights approved by a testing laboratory.
- Make sure the light bulb wattage matches the cord's requirements.
- Inspect all indoor and outdoor lights before hanging.
- Replace any lights that have frayed cords, exposed wires, and broken or cracked sockets.
- Never use a light strand with an empty socket.
- Limit the connected light strands to 3. Connecting more strands of lights may overwork the outlet.
- Check wires regularly for hot spots. If you feel a hot spot, unplug the cord immediately.
- Don't lay electrical cords under rugs or in high-traffic areas.
- Ensure all electrical cords and outlets are unobstructed by curtains, clothes, and other decorations.
- Never leave the lights on unattended. Unplug them before you leave the house and when you go to bed.
To minimize the dangers of candles:
- Consider using battery-operated candles that don't require a lit flame.
- Place candles in stable and appropriately sized holders that are made of metal, glass, or ceramic.
- Don't place anything that can burn within 12 inches of a candle.
- Avoid placing candles in high-traffic areas, within reach of children or pets, in the bedroom, near or on a Christmas tree, below curtains, in window areas, on bookshelves, or near medical oxygen.
- Double-check that your smoke alarms work and review your family's emergency plan.
- Never leave burning candles unattended. Blow them out after use and before you go to bed.
With these tips in tow, you can deck the halls to your heart's content. One final tip: for added peace of mind this holiday season, make sure you have a homeowners or renters policy that has your back.

No. 6 Stanford, No. 13 Louisville, No. 25 Colorado roll
- Cardinal end rare two-game home skid with 75-49 rout of No. 15 UCLA
- Louisville forces 31 turnovers en route to 72-33 home win vs. Cincinnati
- Colorado pulls away in second half to tame Arizona State%2C 57-43
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Chiney Ogwumike was concerned about the possibility of losing three consecutive home games. She didn't need more motivation.
Ogwumike had 25 points and 13 rebounds to lead No. 6 Stanford past No. 15 UCLA 75-49 on Friday night in a much-needed victory that throws the Pac-12 race wide open.
The Cardinal had their 82-game home winning streak snapped by No. 2 Connecticut last month and California stopped Stanford's 81-game home winning streak against conference opponents last Sunday.
"It was very difficult," Ogwumike said. "We love to play at Maples. After those two losses we thought we needed to play harder for each other and for the people who support us. We really didn't want to lose three straight at home."
Joslyn Tinkle added 16 points and Amber Orrange had 15 for the Cardinal (15-2, 4-1), who have won four of their last five.
Alyssia Brewer scored 14 points to lead the Bruins (14-3, 4-1), who had won six in a row. Thea Lemberger added 12 points and Atonye Nyingifa had 11.
"They outhustled us," Brewer said. "We came in feeling good, but then we let them break us down."
Ogwumike made sure Stanford avoided its first three-game home losing streak in 26 years, energizing her team with her constant hustle all over the court.
"Sara James was the X-factor," Ogwumike said. "She motivated people by her play, diving for loose balls."
James made her second start of the season as Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer looked for a spark.
"We want to expand our rotation," VanDerveer said. "We want to be aggressive and that's what Sara gives us. We want to hold ourselves accountable by doing the right thing."
The Bruins were within 15-13 midway through the first half when Mikaela Ruef hit a shot that sparked a 10-0 run and gave Stanford a double-digit lead it never relinquished.
The Cardinal shot 50% for the game and held the Pac-12's top-scoring team to a season low in points and in shooting percentage (31.4).
"I thought we competed," VanDerveer said. "We were aggressive, tight on people and Amber broke them down off the dribble."
Stanford led 36-24 at halftime.
The Cardinal opened the second half on a 13-2 run to put the game away and force a four-way tie for the conference lead heading into Sunday's game with co-leader Southern California.
"Stanford played with an edge and a sense of purpose," UCLA coach Cori Close said. "They were the aggressors the entire time. This was not the best day for the Bruins."
UCLA visits conference co-leader California, ranked seventh in the country, on Sunday.
It has been an unusual week for the Cardinal, routed by UConn 61-35 on Dec. 29, then lost 67-55 at home to rival California last Sunday.
Stanford had suddenly seemed vulnerable after the Huskies and Bears took advantage of poor shooting and rebounding and a sudden lack of ability to hang onto the ball.
"You saw how our team learned from the last game," VanDerveer said. "We've won some big games and this was a big game. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves what we're capable of doing."
Stanford hasn't lost three consecutive home games since early January of the 1986-87 season, in VanDerveer's second season on The Farm.
No. 13 Louisville 72, Cincinnati 33
Antonita Slaughter scored 13 points and the host Cardinals forced 31 turnovers in routing Cincinnati.
Nine of the 10 players used by the Cardinals (15-4, 3-2 Big East) made at least one steal. Slaughter and Sara Hammond led the way with four each.
Hammond had 12 points for Louisville, which held the Bearcats (8-9, 0-4) to 15 points in the first half. Shoni Schimmel added 11 points and Megan Deines 10 for the Cardinals.
Leading 31-15 at halftime, Louisville began the second half with a 19-3 run that included five consecutive three-pointers.
No. 25 Colorado 57, Arizona State 43
Chucky Jeffery had 19 points and 16 rebounds to lead the host Buffs.
Arielle Roberson grabbed 11 rebounds for Colorado (14-2, 3-2 Pac-12).
Arizona State (10-7, 2-3) led 26-22 at halftime but could not keep pace in the second half. Colorado shot 37.8% from the field for the game, while Arizona State shot 23.6%. Colorado outrebounded the Sun Devils 47-31.
Haley Videckis led Arizona State with 11 points.

I was not impressed
Jun 4, 2015
This is a great standard blueberry muffin recipe. I like that all ingredients were pantry staples, and readily on hand.
Apr 19, 2015
I really enjoyed this recipe. I didn't have any blueberries, so substituted saskatoons, which are always in abundance in my freezer. I agree with @pammarie77 - they are the perfect sweetness for the kids. ThIe only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that they were lacking a bit of moisture. I think I'll add a couple tablespoons of our cream next time. My favorite muffin recipes almost always have sour cream. Thanks for the great recipe!
Mar 23, 2015
Yummy!! Simple and easy to make. Made as jumbo muffins (makes 6) with similar cooking times. Also liked that the recipe was not too bland and not too sweet. Just right for my toddler to snack on.
Oct 4, 2014
These were very good and very similar to a box mix. For my own preference, I would prefer them to be sweeter, so I would increase the sugar to at least 1/2 cup. I also thought that there was too much baking powder, but only by a little. Otherwise, very tasty, easy to make, and super quick!
May 7, 2011
I love to use butter milk in cake type baked goods, they always seem so much moister. If I were to do that in this recipe, how much would I have to cut the butter amount or would I have to?

I got a verizon 9550.
Then I bought and unlock for it, which after the normal instructions, AND, these: (i had the activation required message on the top of the screen)
Removing "Activation Required" on the screen or changing the Phone Number:
1) On the main screen of the phone, press Call (Green Button)
2) Type on the screen: ##000000
3) Press the Call Button
4) For the Mobile Directory Number, put in your phone number in there
5) After you have done that, press the Menu Button to Save the options and the phone will automatically restart
6) After restarting, it will be updated
Worked fine.
The only thing i cant seem to fix, is that my carrier (Movistar, Argentina) uses the same *611 that verizon seems to use. When i try to call movistar, i get answered by Verizon Global roaming "something".
I read somewhere that in the same menu that i had to change the mobile directory number in order to get the phone activated, i had to change the MCC and MNC, the ones for Argentina and movistar are 722 and 070, but the MNC accepts only 2 digits codes. (i tried 00, 07, 70, and then i thought that the correct code was 010 [old code that movicom CDMA carrier had before merging with movistar and going GSM only, so i also tried 10, 01).
I also noticed that i can have anything there, with no effect :P
Anyways, i think that that menu is only for the CDMA part of the phone.
If anyone knows how to fix the *611 calling to verizon, pls let me know.
PD: i am on a GSM only country, no CDMA here, and i have set the radio to GSM/UMTS only
well, *611# does call movistar and not verizon.
seems no one knows anything else :P
pd: is it normal to NOT be able to download speedtest, twixtreme AND ebay from my storm 2 (from appworld)? twixtreme is not THAT compatible, and ebay is not for south america, but speedtest ?
all 3 apps more or less work when downloaded using an OTA link, and i could download twixtreme and speedtest with my bold, so, either they are not storm 2 compatible, or ?
(i ask this cause appworld says that either my device or my network are not compatible, and since with the same network, and another phone i could get them, and with this phone, and an OTA link i could, i thought that maybe the appworld thought that the storm 2 was on verizon or somehting )

Lee promoted for second game of doubleheader
OAKLAND -- It is no secret that Indians manager Terry Francona loves carrying as many relievers as possible. In true Francona style, he will have nine arms in his bullpen for the second game of Wednesday's split doubleheader.
Cleveland recalled right-hander C.C. Lee prior to the second game to serve as the 26th man on the roster. According to baseball's rules, Lee is only eligible for Game 2 as the extra player due to the postponement being on the previous day.
"We'll get him here, try to get his legs under him a little bit," Francona said. "And he'll be available for the second game."
Cleveland opened the season with eight relievers, only three extra position players and no traditional backup catcher. Yan Gomes serves as the starting catcher for the Indians, who then use Carlos Santana as the backup catcher, third baseman and designated hitter.
Gomes and Santana are the only catchers on the 40-man roster, so Francona said the team did not spend much time discussing adding a third catcher for the doubleheader.
"That's hard to do," Francona said. "I don't think we probably could have thought about it."
The 27-year-old Lee appeared in eight games for the Indians last season, posting a 4.15 ERA with four strikeouts and three walks in 4 1/3 innings. In 29 Minor League appearances in 2013, the right-hander had a 2.48 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 37 strikeouts and 10 walks in 29 innings.
During Spring Training, Lee had a 3.24 ERA to go along with 12 strikeouts and five walks in 8 1/3 innings for Cleveland.
"The organization loves him, myself included," Francona said. "There's so much to like about him. It's just, early in the year, when you don't know what innings are going to be there ... you can get a guy in Triple-A to get consistent innings. That can be a real help. He's going to help us. There's no doubt, he's going to help us this year."

Sabine's work creating the most highly-valued elephant for the elephant parade, which was featured in London's Selfridges in 2010 has led her to win further accolades: in September 2011 she showcased her Throne Elephant during Milan Fashion Week- the first elephant, where you can sit in. A coorperation with Foglizzo, an Italian bespoke leather company they decided to create a throne in white leather and set with Swarovski crystals. This elephant was showcased during the parade at the Milan Malpensa airport.
The "Duomo" of Milano, the largest cathedral in Italy, which is dedicated to Santa Maria Nascente, inspired me to create this beautiful bespoke "Throne Elephant". I wanted to recreate the stunning roof, which has a forest of openwork pinnacles and spires, set upon delicate flying buttresses.

We've got a busy weekend at LACMA, starting with two new exhibitions. Human Nature: Contemporary Art from the Collection gathers roughly seventy-five works from our permanent collection, including many recent acquisitions which have never been on view at LACMA before. We are excited to see these objects by Glenn Ligon, Nam June Paik, Gerhard Richter, Haegue Yang, Mark Bradford, and many others fill the second floor of BCAM. This exhibition opens to the public on Sunday but is open now if you're a member.
Bruce Nauman, Human Nature/Life Death/Knows Doesn't Know, 1983, Modern and Contemporary Art Council Fund
Also on view, in the Ahmanson Building, is Vija Celmins: Television and Disaster 1964–1966. This is the first exhibition to focus on a specific slice of Celmins' work—paintings from a two-year period early in her career which reflect televised images of war. This show also opens on Sunday, and on Saturday for members.
Tonight our Catherine Deneuve film series continues with two classic films she made with the wonderful director Jacques Demy. The first is the heartbreaking musical masterpiece The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Incidentally this is one of my favorite films of all time, so if you've never seen it on the big screen, do yourself a favor and see it. Deneuve is radiant as a shopgirl who lets her true love slip away, while Demy's colorful sets and Michel Legrand's score turn the film into candy for the eyes and ears. This is followed by another Deneuve/Demy pairing (they partnered four times altogether), Donkey Skin—a strange and wondrous film based on a fairy tale by Charles Perrault (who also created Mother Goose and wrote Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Little Red Riding Hood).
The Deneuve series concludes on Saturday night with Francois Truffaut's excellent film The Last Metro, staring Deneuve as an actress working in occupied Paris while her Jewish husband, the director, hides from the Nazis, unable to keep his wife from falling in love with her leading man.
Also on Saturday we're glad to have Philip Glass return to LACMA for an afternoon concert and conversation, including excerpt performances from his opera, Akhnaten (unfortunately sold out, sorry).
All day Sunday you can come to LACMA to celebrate the Persian New Year with a full slate of activities happening all over campus, including live music, film, dance performances, and more. You can see the full schedule here.

The AAVSO is happy to provide a copy of Bob Nelson's O-C files for Eclipsing Binaries for 2012. These files can be used for observation planning, and are a valuable resource for EB observers.
Thanks once again for Bob Nelson for providing this service to the EB community.
The AAVSO now distributes its published times-of-minimum data for eclipsing binary in single compressed files (.tgz and .zip), rather than as a searchable online index. For data on a specific star, unzip the compressed file, and search for the star's name among the included text files. These files contain updated publication information through November 30, 2005, the time at which the files were last updated.
How to Use the EB Ephemeris
An expanded eclipsing binary ephemerides can also be found at the Milwaukee Astronomical Society website.

Stevens Computer Science Students Design Software for the Greater Good
Nonprofit and government organizations with software development needs are in luck. As they have for many years past, next year's Computer Science seniors at Stevens will complete pro bono technical projects for public agencies, civil service organizations, charitable groups, academic researchers and others.
Dr. David Klappholz, associate professor of Computer Science, has taught a number of courses which require students to complete group projects for the greater good, projects which require them to apply their skills in software design, mobile computing, web programming, graphic design and more.
"Projects that turn Computer Science theory learned in coursework into practice are some of the most powerful learning tools," Klappholz said. "For our students to be able to develop software that has meaningful value to a nonprofit group is an added bonus."
In Klappholz's Senior Design capstone course, which is required for Computer Science majors in their final year of study, real clients are acquired – mostly from the nonprofit world – and collaborate on the development of software to meet their particular needs. Over the two-semester course, students work on in-depth, highly-challenging group projects, moving from initial requirements to finished systems that the clients will actually use within their organizations.
A review of just the pro bono Senior Design Computer Science projects from the 2011-2012 academic year alone shows what practical and useful software tools these students typically produce.
One project by Kirill Marants, Jameson Mortimer, Jeff Cochran, Simon Sidhom and Jamison Andaluz resulted in the development of a software suite that assists in the growth and education of young adults with autism. Developed for a school psychologist, the connected set of tools includes mini-games and other interactive media teaching devices, as well as functions for student progress tracking and lesson preparation.
A second team made up of Frank Buonarota, Robert Williams, Alex Hieronymi, Peter Zafonte and John Horgan developed an add-on module for OpenMRS to ensure patient confidentiality and data security. Open MRS is an open-source, Java-based medical record system used by Rwandan clinics to share patient data and information.
A third project was a new content management system and website for the Bayonne Economic Opportunity Foundation, which provides programs for Bayonne's low-income population, senior citizens and the disabled. Jamie Brabston, Rachel Lamontagne, Eriberto Garcia, Michael Weiss and Tim Nix built software to automate workflow, give public access to certain information, and provide an employee web portal for the sharing of important forms and documents.
Still more projects from the past year include a mobile app for communicating with and locating mine disaster victims, and a website that aids lifeguards and researchers in tracking rip currents. Get more details and read about other projects at this link.
"These projects demonstrate the impact the field of Computer Science can have in the real world – a lesson we want every Computer Science major to take away from his or her undergraduate experience," Klappholz said.
In addition to advising incoming Senior Design teams in Fall 2012, Klappholz will introduce a new three-credit, required junior-level course called Database Practicum in which students will put to use skills learned in earlier courses to develop data-intensive software systems, such as web sites, for nonprofit clients.
Klappholz is always looking for new and complex real-world challenges to bring to his students. He invites contact from potential nonprofit or government clients who have a serious need for trained Computer Science scientists to solve a practical technical problem they are facing in their organizations.

Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old honor student who performed with her high school drum corps in Obama's inauguration parade, was shot and killed Tuesday in Chicago. People across the world — from lawmakers to celebrities to those who know her — turned to Twitter to share their grief at her passing and their anger at another life felled by gun violence. Many used #HadiyaPendleton or #NowIsTheTime (the hashtag started by the White House to help address gun violence) to share their feelings about the event.
My heart goes out to Hadiya's family & the Kenwood community. Our children deserve to live in communities free frm fear cbsloc.al/129XhXn—

I am unable to attend daily or Sunday Mass or go to confession at this time. However I watch the daily Mass on EWTN and as well say several Roaaries daily. I love God with all my heart and soul. My question is: even though I cannot attend Mass in person an receive Holy Communion, does one still receive any grace by watching the daily Mass on television devoutly and reverently? I hope to be be able to return to in person Mass, but right now I am primary caregiver for my disabled husband and I also work full time. Thank you and God bless you.
|Answer by Fr. Jay Toborowsky on 9/5/2016:
Certainly one receives graces by watching Mass with devotion (meaning you're not watching
Mass and doing a crossword puzzle at the same time or something like that). Now, obviously it's
not the same intensity of graces as one would get by actually going to Mass and receiving Holy
Communion, but certainly God knows your desire and the pressing needs to care for your
husband. I'm sure the Lord appreciates your desire and the effort you put in to see Mass as you
are able.

Detroit Lions star receiver Calvin Johnson is out for their divisional showdown against the Packers.
The team's leading receiver had been sidelined two days last week with a knee injury before participating in practice on a limited basis Friday. He had been listed as questionable.
The Lions are already without Nate Burleson. Johnson has 21 catches for 312 yards and four touchdowns, while Burleson had 19 catches for 239 yards. Detroit's next leading wideout is Kris Durham with five catches for 102 yards.

CHICAGO (AP) – A thorny question is emerging in the health care world as hospitals increasingly crack down on employees who won't get flu shots.
Patients can refuse, so why not doctors and nurses?
Affected workers, hospital authorities and published reports say that in the past two months, at least 15 nurses and other hospital staffers in four states have been fired for refusing, and several have resigned.
In Rhode Island, one of three states with tough penalties behind a mandatory vaccine policy for health care workers, a labor union is suing over it.
Hospitals' get-tougher measures coincide with an earlier-than-usual flu season which has become widespread in most states. At least 20 children have died.
Most doctors and nurses do get flu shots.
Dr. Carolyn Bridges of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there's a need for stronger data on whether it helps.

Fall Home Decorations | Fallizing the House for Autumn | Home
In New England, we have had a heavy dose of Fall weather in the last two weeks - crisp 62 degree days, 45 degree nights. It has inspired me to do some (as Katie would say...) "Fallizing." Here are a couple of snapshots of things I have done to "warm up" our home for the upcoming cool months.
By the way, looking at these photos I am now hating the 'slate' colored coffee table that I was debating about in the spring... it looks so blue with all of the fall accents. Looks like the paint brush might be coming out - maybe a warmer grey? Or how about an upholstered ottoman?
And yes, I see that I left the tv on in the background - whoops.
Here is a post of the 'before' photos from when we moved in in the spring.
Heirloom pumpkins by the fireplace.
Prints of Chestnuts and some other type of botanical...
Brown fur, velvet and embroidered pheasant pillows are added to what was all white linen before.
Tiger stripe (go Tigers!) vintage book, matching gourds and a black labeled candle on the coffee table.
The light blue plates were replaced with my Woodland collection that goes along with my pewter.
The kitchen hutch is outfitted with a couple of select Fall elements. A lot of my Everyday Essentials are featured on this hutch - click here to see the buying guide!
Tiger stripe plates... again, for Mizzou watching!
Pie Plate of mini white pumpkins...
Leaf mini plates and a plaid dish towel.
What are you doing to Fallize your home? Photos of exterior Fallizing to come... waiting for those darn leaves to turn!

love the tiger touches, jenny! i vote for an upholstered ottoman. it seems far away now, but you'll want the soft surfaces once your baby girl is on the move. congratulations!ReplyDelete
I love your house. Everything is so well co-ordinated. It looks like it stepped off the pages of a magazine! I love the white crockery in your kitchen hutch.ReplyDelete
- kelly in georgia6:55 PM
1. jealous of your cool weather ...we are still running the AC and close to 90 degrees in temp here in the south.ReplyDelete
2. love all your fall touches - especially your spode with your pewter!
3. have you thought of using some shade of yellow for your coffee table?
- Jessica8:34 AM
The pumpkins on the 'hearth' or at the fireplace are a really nice touch. I now wonder why I never put pumpkins by our fireplace but I will this year. We go to a very rural farmer that has discovered the marketing ploy of "heirloom" over the years - the assortment of pumpkins is just amazing!ReplyDelete
Your hutch has paused me to consider open shelving in our new kitchen. I have really nice display pieces that I would love to see on a daily basis - I just hope I can keep the display as tidy as yours.
And finally, one last question. We have tall wooden stools and I would like to repaint them. Would you paint them the same colour as the walls or the same colour as the floors? They will be used at the kitchen pass through to create a breakfast area.
- Jenny9:06 AM
Jessica - What color are your kitchen walls? I think you could do either... but I would paint them the same color of the walls, I think. Good luck - send pics!ReplyDelete
- Jessica3:02 PM
Thanks for your quick reply:) The walls are going to be glossy white and the floors are a dark parquet wood.ReplyDelete
Love your home! It looks very cozy!ReplyDelete
Love this! Such a cute home you have.ReplyDelete
Your home is a magazine!ReplyDelete
Really It is great article about Home Decorations. I like this blog very much. Really it is very informative to decor homes.Great job please keep it up.ReplyDelete

Dear Mr. May,
I am applying for a J-1 Visa. Would you please aid me in my efforts to visit
theBerkely University? I am planning to do my MS Thesis as a scholar there, so I would not be an enrolled student. With reference to t hose information provided in theform 2023PS which you can find in the attachment(attached) I have the following questions:
1. What exactly should I
exactlywrite in front of the field Berkely University Title: on page 1? Im coming from the Technical University of Stuttgart in Germany, where Im studying Mechanical Engineering.
2. If I tick the box Short Term Scholar on page 2 and I
wouldwant to do my Ph.D. subsequent to my MS Thesis therewould it be possible to extend my visa from Short Term Scholar to Research Scholar? This is because ifI'm concerned that, if I wouldleave the US after my Thesis, upon my departure from the United States, I would be required to complete a mandatory two-year home-country physical presence prior to re-entry into the United States which I dont want to do.
3.Regarding FINANCIAL SUPPORT INFORMATION: I asked my banker to give me my recent personal statement on a bank letterhead which is required in the above mentioned form. They would not. The only
possibilities thatalternative I have at the moment is thatto send you my statement of account which I can extract as a PDF-file via Online Banking. Is itthat enough? Should I have the whole $15,600 which is with respect to one year completely nowin my account now? Right now I have about $11,000 which I think is enough for six months.
4. How should I proceed with the insurance part? Should I have a contract and send you the documents? Do you have any idea which
of theinsurance institutes is the most usual one with whichcompany most of thestudents have a contractuse?
A general question I have just thought over.Should I actuallysend you the filled out2023PS form and take all other required documents with me when I go toapply for a visa at the US embassy applying for the visaor should I send everything to you?
I hope that I have not burdened you too much with such a long email and so many questions.
Thank you very much in advance
