Movies, TV, Hotties & Baseball
I had an odd weekend. There was less booze than I anticipated. There was less fun than I anticipated. There was about the level of worry on Sunday for fantasy football as I expected (I'm in too many leagues to worry about certain plays or players in Week 1). There was a great novel (The Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum, who by the way was one hell of an author. If you've seen the movies with Matt Damon it's still worth your time to read Ludlum's three novels as they have little to do, in plot at least, with the Hollywood films). At least there was plenty going on in the world of baseball to hold my attention.
Curtis Granderson has socked 35 homers for the Yankees this year on his way to 86 RBIs and a .235 batting average after his five RBI effort Sunday (he's also scored 85 times). Still, he's looked an awful lot like Adam Dunn with his all or nothing approach. Over his last 53 games, that's a third of a season, Granderson has hit .213 (Dunn is hitting .208 on the year for the White Sox with 38 homers, 88 RBIs and 79 runs scored). The counting stats are great, but that's an awfully high price to pay in the batting average category.
Nick Markakis will have surgery on his broken left thumb Tuesday. The Orioles are hopeful that they will make the playoffs and hang around long enough for us to see Markakis again this season. Don't count on that happening. Regardless, Nick's regular season is over. Thanks to hitting .335 with a .390 OBP over his last 54 games Markakis will end the year with a .298 average and .363 OBP, numbers nearly identical to his career marks (.295 and .365). He's not an elite fantasy option, but he's solid an about as consistent as they come.
I watched The Change Up this past week, a stupid film in which Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds party, pee in a fountain while drunk, and miraculously change bodies (apparently the fact that they made a "wish" while urinating in the fountain caused the goddess statue in the fountain to grant them their drunk wish – to live the others life. I told you it was a stupid movie). Why the hell would I bring this clunker up? Olivia Wilde. She is, simply put, gorgeous. If you look into those eyes and don't feel a tingle, you aren't a lover of women.
Mike Napoli is ready to rock as his quadriceps muscle is finally strong enough for him to go out and perform in game action. He'll begin his rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco Tuesday. A big time disappointment after being a top-3 catcher selection in nearly every league this year, Napoli has hit just .233 with 17 homers and 40 RBIs this season, light year from the pace that saw him net a .320 average, 30 homers, and 75 RBIs in 2011. Still, Let's compare his 2010 effort in 453 at-bats, to the pace that his effort this season would net him in 453 at-bats (he actually has 301 this season).
2010: .238-26-68-60 with a .784 OPS
2012: .223-26-60- 68 with a .771 OPS
I don't see any difference at all there, do you?
Alexei Ramirez was scratched from the White Sox lineup Sunday since he showed up late to the ballpark (maybe he was watching Olivia Wilde in something?). When he has made it to the field on time Alexei has been fairly productive in the second half hitting .284 with a .771 OPS, numbers that are very similar to the .278 and .733 career marks that he owns. With one more homer he will also post his 5th straight 10 homer season, and it will also be his 4th 10/10 season in five years (he stole only seven bags last year or he would have pulled off the double/double in all five of his big league seasons).
If you like spy shows, comedy, cartoons, hell if you have any taste, you have to check out Archer on FX if you haven't already. It's flippin awesome — and I hate that word, but it truly fits.
B.J. Upton is trying to put the slow start he had to the season behind him. The elder Upton bashed three long balls Sunday giving him six homers in his last 11 games. His overall numbers include a mere .256 batting average, but he's driven in 66 runs, has scored 65 times, and has gone 20/20 yet again (21 homers, 29 SBs). This is the third 20/20 effort of his career, the second in a row, and with one more steal he'll also have 5-straight efforts of at least 30 thefts. He's a ballplayer that brings everything in the fantasy game, other than batting average of course.

About Us:
Global Gardens is a program of the Idaho Office for Refugees. We sponsor refugee agriculture projects at 8 locations in Boise, Eagle and Star and provide garden or farm space for around 100 refugee families as well as training in horticultural production and marketing. We strive to involve refugee families in healthy lifestyles and entrepreneurial training through the cultivation, harvest, cooking, eating, and sales of fresh, healthy produce.
We have 5 sites that are community gardens, where families can get a small space and grow vegetables for their families. We don't offer any community garden spaces for non-refugees at this time, but please check out the "Community Gardens" page for more information on community gardening.
We have 3 sites which we consider farms. Two of these are community farms where groups of refugees work together at these sites to cultivate vegetables for family consumption and for sale at local farmer's markets and restaurants. In 2010 we added the Global Gardens Incubator Farm, on a 22-acre site in Star. Twelve families have one acre market garden plots there and are growing for farmer's markets, restaurants, and our CSA. We're planning on adding more sites in 2011 that are closer to town, call us if you know of any available land!
You can learn more about all of the sites HERE.
All of our gardens are on donated land and use organic farming methods. During the growing season, we sell produce at the Capital City Public Market, downtown on Saturday mornings, and at other smaller markets as available. We have a CSA -- Communtiy Supported Agriculture. Learn more about it on the CSA page. We also sell to the Boise Co-op and to a number of restaurants, including Bittercreek Alehouse, The Red Feather, Willy B's, Guido's Pizza, Bardenay and more! Are you a chef or restaurant owner? Call for our availability list!
We receive funding from the federal Office for Refugee Resettlement. We also receive many local donations in cash and in kind. The Somali Bantu Farm in Eagle received a grant in 2008 from Heifer International's New Immigrant Farming Initiative and recently received a grant from the USDA's Farmer's Market Promotion Program.

Now there's a doll whose appearance is more modest, who looks like kids and whose values are distinctly Jewish.
Created by Aliza Stein of Teaneck, N.J., Gali Girls wear clothes that are not made to accentuate their bodies. Accessories include a matching Magen David bracelet for the owner and the doll, a Hebrew and English birth certificate and a separate wooden Shabbat kit that can be painted.
Gali Girls are designed to encourage girls to bring positive Jewish values, such as kindness, respect, and charity, into their doll play, Stein said.

And? I still don't see how the 780 can be faster than the 690 when you compare the specs. K20X Shading Units: 2688 TMUs: 224 ROPs: 48 SMX: 14 Pixel Rate: 41.0 GPixel/s Texture Rate: 164.0 GTexel/s Floating-point performance: 3,935.23 GFLOPS GTX 690: Shading Units: 1536 x2 TMUs: 128 x2 ROPs: 32 x2 SMX: 8 x2 Pixel Rate: 29.3 GPixel/s x2 Texture Rate: 117.1 GTexel/s x2 Floating-point performance: 2,810.88 GFLOPS x2
GK 110 has 15 SMX 2880 CC. K20x is running at 732 MHz. If this Titan is a fully enabled GK110 and runs at 1GHz we might see something.
Does the 3Dmark even benefit from CC? Aren't they meant for computing? If it is running at 1GHz, it still seems weird to me...where do those 1000 points come from if the 690 is running around 950MHz.
sorry, my point was that the 690 is spec'd the same as a 680, just two of them. if the 780 has 6gb of memory like the link a few posts back says it does that could go a long way towards achieving that score, in addition to a fully loaded 110 clocked higher i think we have a winner, an expensive one but a winner
It would be great 'if' this score turns out true/close, when the card is launched, which I doubt but can anybody tell if Extreme preset is GPU memory + DP perf(compute/physics) dependent? I ask this because of the expected 6GB Vram and that GK110 has much better DP performance than GK104
Unless this is one humongous, power hungry, expensive and low yielding chip then I don't see how this can be possible. I guess we'll just wait and see. If this is true then prepare for sticker shock! and 300+W requirements.
va Ares II This shot is in time to wipe the floor with the ARES II card. If that x7100 is from a single GPU, you can bet your ass ill stick 2 inside my rig.
(Looks at 7970) Rumor has it it's the one I'm leaving you for,Rumor Has It, Rumor Has It, Rumor Has It :shadedshu I'm sorry, I couldn't resist
Well holy shit.... I'm actually not sure what to say if this is accurate...except this card is gonna cost a lot but will be worth it if under $700
Not believable. Especially if this GPU is actually based on GK110, the numbers just don't make any sense. Wishful thinking from some Chinese enthusiast I would say.
Got to remember dude - all rumours and one of the main ones was it has 85% the performance of the 690. Only now an oddly high x7100 score pops up - which seems unlikely, especially for the rumoured power envelope. We'll all see soon enough.
Ahhh, someone with some sense! A wise cat you are indeed sir Same old same old from Nvidia marketing dept but i'll take the post, it helps mah peenUs grow
Everything benefits from CC. They are the modern equivalent of shaders. Core-count and bus width are the main differences between low-end and high-end cards.
Pretty spectacular performance. A new 8800 GTX it certainly is not: you didn't have to cough up 900 bucks to get it.
The rumoured price is crazy, but you can guarantee not long after it's launch you'll see people with two, three even four of them topping all the benchmarks.
awesome performance, horrible price.. 900 dollars is A LOT of money.. no chance i'll pay that for a VGA.

Management Leadership for Tomorrow
Management Leadership for Tomorrow is a favorite non-profit for which I am their preferred photographer for events photography.
Here is a summary, from their web site, of the great things that MLT does for the world today and tomorrow:
MLT is the premier career development institution that equips high potential African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans with the key ingredients—skills, coaching and door-opening relationships—that unlock their potential. By cracking the code on career potential, MLT is developing the next generation of minority leaders, for the corporate, non-profit and entrepreneurial sectors, who will in turn have transformational impact on our communities.
MLT delivers programming that puts minorities on the fast-track to success at every stage of their careers: from College through MBA and the Executive levels.
MLT is a leading source of minority talent for top graduate business schools and for many of the nation's premier corporations including Citi, Goldman Sachs, Google, McKinsey & Co, PepsiCo and Target. MLT's innovative solution has also resulted in strategic partnerships with leading philanthropies such as New Profit, Inc. and The Starr Foundation. MLT has been featured on the cover of Fortune and in CNN's "Black in America 2: Tomorrow's Leaders."
The Problem
There is a leadership pipeline crisis in the US.
- Corporations, non-profits and entrepreneurial ventures struggle to attract and retain the best diverse talent they need to achieve their goals.
- The individuals who are most connected to our struggling communities, and therefore most motivated to improve them, are not in a position to make those solutions possible.
Because conventional wisdom is that higher education ensures the American dream, we have not invested in giving those who make it to college the other ingredients they need to realize their full potential as leaders.
MLT is the Solution
The path to leadership is not taught in school.
It takes more than classroom education to create leaders. It takes hard and soft skills. It takes early exposure to high-impact career opportunities. It takes an understanding of the path to the senior levels; and it takes inspiring leaders and mentors.
Many organizations focus on providing minorities with access to educational opportunities and preparation for academic success. MLT delivers key skills that are not taught in any classroom and that are critical to fulfilling one's potential. Virtually every senior leader would say that they would not be where they are today without some or all of those key ingredients, yet these ingredients are not taught in even the best classrooms and instead are delivered through informal channels to which minorities have limited access:
- A roadmap of specific steps to take to achieve one's short and long-term goals

The tough economy hasn't slowed business at the Mill End Store, owner Ann Lewis says. "We're still doing great. Absolutely great," Lewis says. " ... We've been quite busy. It has been so good that I think we've increased."
Your business dates to 1936. What's the secret to the store's longevity? "The repeat clients. The government didn't build my business. You did. We've got the best of clients. I've been here long enough to see several generations buying and having their houses done by us. It's a good feeling."
How did the Mill End Store get its start? Edna Conniffe established the business as a Dan River Mills outlet. Early on, she strictly sold plaid fabrics. Later, Conniffe converted it into a shop that specialized in drapery goods. Two years ago, the store moved into a bigger space in Tallywood, expanding into a bigger building that allowed for a larger workroom.
As a fabric-focused business, how are things going in the current economic climate? "We're still doing great. Absolutely great. Now we're seeing more people come back. With the economy faltering, people started covering their furniture. We've been quite busy. It has been so good that I think we've increased. That's one of the reasons we enlarged. We were able to sell more than we could get done. We had to have a bigger workroom to get the work out."
What are the different services that you provide? "We do custom draperies, any kind of window treatments, table covers, hard window coverings, re-upholstery. We sell custom-upholstered furniture."
What portion of the business, if any, has grown over last year? "If any part has grown, it has been the out-of-town clients. We've seen a big surge of out-of-town clients with the bigger store."
Is it difficult running a fabrics shop? "I don't know if it's difficult, because I enjoy it. I hate the paperwork. The part of it putting all these colors together, you never get tired of it."
What's your business philosophy? "The client's always right. Absolutely."
Having been in business so long, how do you keep from becoming complacent? "I don't know. It's just me. I just don't get tired of it. It would be hard to get tired of this."
Owner: Ann Lewis
Address: 212 Tallywood Shopping Center
Founded: 1936
Employees: 6
What is it? Locally owned business specializing in drapery and upholstery fabrics. Lewis bought the store in 1975.

Review: The Stone Roses at Heaton Park
Roses Recap: The Stone Roses at Heaton Park
The resurrection had begun its process long before Mani had even begun to play the symbolic opening bass line of 'I Wanna Be Adored'. With three dates at Heaton Park selling out faster than you could say 'bucket hat', it'd be fair to say the anticipation surrounding the Roses' return was massive.
They'd played a select few European dates (which sparked 'cuntgate') and a last minute homecoming gig in Warrington, (to which fans were allowed free entry with a piece of Roses memorabilia, which was a nice touch); but this would be their real test, playing to over 225,000 fans in the space of three days. And they didn't disappoint.
Although rain was predicted it didn't really show up and with support across the weekend came from a varied bunch including The Wailers, Plan B, The Vaccines Beady Eye and Professor Green to name a few, everything was in place for the atmosphere to be a spectacular one.

Musings from Maine
Down East editors discuss Bush Island, blizzards, polygamy, and more.
Ready to Pop
Bowdoin adds a 3-D touch to its library.
Christmas came early for the Bowdoin College library this year. This past summer an alumnus donated 1,900 pop-up books, instantly giving the George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives one of the ten best such collections in the country.
Boasting about the acquisition of a trove of pop-up books sounds, well, childish at first, but Bowdoin has good reason to brag. "We take pop-up books rather seriously, as both literature and art," explains director Richard H.F. Lindemann. Acquired over the past nine years by Harry Goralnick, of Haverhill, Massachusetts, the books cover everything from the Brothers Grimm to Fenway Park. "This is not just a piece or two," Lindemann says, "but an in-depth collection that can support legitimate academic inquiry."
Far from being simply a few shelves of children's books, "the collection includes a lot of adult-level literature," Lindemann says. "There are pop-up books on anatomy, geology, geography. There's a beautiful travel book about America that has the Golden Gate Bridge and the Statue of Liberty." One book also features the Kama Sutra, "and it's exactly as you might imagine it to be," Lindemann says with a laugh.
The holidays are well represented, too, with tabletop Nativity scenes and "gobs of books for 'Twas the Night Before Christmas,' the poem by Clement Clarke Moore," Lindemann says. Many of the twenty-five to thirty Christmas books are works of art produced in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s and 1960s.
Lindemann says the collection complements the college's book arts curriculum, which studies how books are made and their history. "Pop-ups are important both in terms of the paper engineering involved and their design," Lindemann says. "Generally they feature fine children's book illustrators and materials."
The books are available for study, and Lindemann has set up a small display of selected books in a case outside the collection's offices on the third floor of the library. You'll just have to request the pop-up Kama Sutra yourself.
Shortening the School Week
Add an hour, cut a day, save money.
With winter coats and mittens bursting out of student lockers across the state at the same time rising energy costs and other expenses are squeezing budgets, school districts all over Maine are looking for ways to cut costs. Several districts recently came up with what they thought was an innovative strategy: They proposed shifting to a four-day school week and extending the school day by an hour or so to make up the difference. The move would cut heating and bus fuel costs, maintenance needs, and even school lunch expenses.
The only problem is, the change is against the law.
"Right now state law and Maine Department of Education rules require a specific number of instructional days, 175," explains David Connerty-Martin, of the education department. "The law currently doesn't allow longer but fewer days."
The key word is currently. State Senator Nancy Sullivan, of Saco, has already drawn up a bill that will change the instructional requirement from a specific number of days to a specific number of hours. "I'm a school teacher," Sullivan says. "To me, that's pretty simple." She says the bill would allow districts to allocate the hours any way they want, perhaps with regular five-day weeks except in the coldest months, when a shift to four-day weeks would reduce heating costs.
About a hundred school districts in sixteen states now use a four-day week, according to Connerty-Martin. He indicates that the department isn't averse to the idea as it studies ways to help Maine schools cut energy costs. "We're researching four-day weeks and how they have worked in schools outside Maine," he notes.
Sullivan acknowledges objections ranging from interrupted sports programs to child-care issues, but points out that holidays, snow days, and school vacation all require the same adjustments from families. "The teachers are still working the same number of hours," she adds. "The only real change is the way we package those hours."
Any plan that offers a three-day weekend is worth studying. It's almost enough to send us back to eighth grade.
Saying No to Polygamy
A Millinocket town official vouches for a native son.
Wallace Paul, chairman of the Millinocket town council, recently carried out what must qualify as the most unusual official act of the year — he verified that a former resident was a practicing monogamist. "We had a little fun with that," Paul admits. "I'd never done that before."
Nor has anyone else in Maine. Paul was called upon to make the venture into international diplomacy for Ben Clark, a Peace Corps worker in Cameroon in West Africa. Clark needed the confirmation to marry a local woman. "The law in Cameroon allows polygamy, but you have to declare your preference before you can marry," Paul explains. "If you're a monogamist, you have to get a reference from the leader of the town where you were born that you aren't a polygamist."
Luckily, Clark's parents, Quentin and Bonnie Clark, now of Farmington, were old friends of Paul. "His father worked with me at the mill years ago, and Ben was born at the Millinocket hospital," Paul explains. "Ben called his father, and Quentin called me. I went to the town clerk, and we did a record search to make sure Ben had never been married before. Then I typed up a letter on official town stationery to my esteemed colleague in Cameroon."
A few weeks later, Clark married Lucie Kegnie, a seamstress and translator, in the city of Bandjoun. His parents sent several photos of the ceremony to Paul and the town office crew. "His father told me it was good Ben was born in a small town where you can get things moving quickly," Paul says. "Lord only knows what would have happened if he'd been born in Boston or New York City." Evidently being born in Maine has its advantages, even in Africa.
Memo to Meteorologists
Maine doesn't get many blizzards — not in the technical sense.
This is the time of year when Mainers gas up their snowblowers, pound in wooden stakes to mark the edges of their driveway for the plow truck, and set a shovel by the front door. These are all necessary preparations as the state readies for winter storms. We tend to call the worst of them blizzards, but that term is usually incorrect, especially in December. The National Weather Service maintains a very specific definition for that brand of bone chiller. Turns out blizzards have to have sustained thirty-five-mile-per-hour winds and less than a quarter-mile visibility for at least three hours, conditions that are hard to find in Maine in December, let alone during the coldest, darkest days of winter.
Forecasters at the National Weather Service office in Gray say that a review of the office's "Blizzard Book" reveals just three storms over the past half-century have qualified for the title — and none of them came in December. Those tempests blew through in February 1952, February 1978 (the infamous "Blizzard of '78"), and March 1993 — only during the depths of winter are temperatures typically low enough to keep the snow light and therefore visibility poor.
Of course, knowing what to call a December snowstorm doesn't make it any more enjoyable. And there's always a first time for everything.
A Tale of Two Maines
For some reason Wisconsin seems to have a surplus of them.
You can take Mainers out of Maine, but you can't take Maine out of Mainers, even in Wisconsin. So goes the explanation for at least one of the two towns named Maine in the Badger State.
"I guess it felt like home," offers Jim Guyette, the unofficial historian of the town of Maine in Outagamie County, Wisconsin, west of Green Bay. According to Shadows on the Wolf, a book produced in 1987 by the Shiocton History Project, the tiny community was founded in 1854 by a group of loggers from Chilton, Maine, including Paul Greeley, George Speers, David Stinson, and John Whitmore. "They came up the Wolf River looking for timber to cut and land to settle," Guyette says. Lumbering was decling in Maine at the time, "so they came west looking for more trees," he adds.
Ironically, the town they left behind, Chilton, no longer appears on maps of Maine.
The other Maine, in Marathon County neighboring the city of Wausau, has a more prosaic origin. It was named after a prominent local resident, U.E. Maine, a Native American who owned the largest farm in the township and served as the first chairman when the town was formed in 1866, according to Gary Gisselman, librarian for the Marathon County Historical Society. No evidence links him to the state whose name he bore.
Guyette says the Mainers would have felt comfortable in a Wisconsin winter. "We get lots of snow and cold," he notes. "We usually get our first snow in November, and it stays through March." Sounds like home.
Walking All Over A President
Bush Island is a well-kept secret.
Few people know it, but Maine has an island named for a recent president of the United States. President George H.W. Bush Island may be the least recognized piece of real estate on the coast, and it may be that its namesake doesn't even know it exists, even though it sits only a few miles from his summer home at Walkers Point in Kennebunkport.
Most locals — and maps — know the island better as Green Island, one of the thirteen islands off Cape Porpoise in southern Maine. But in 1989 its then-owner, John Milligan, donated the property to the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust with the condition that its name be changed to honor the president. "I'm sure President Bush hasn't visited it," says Thomas Bradbury, the trust's executive director.
The three- to four-acre (depending on the tide) island, Bradbury says, "is more a bird sanctuary than anything else these days. It's not often visited by people because so many nesting birds tend to drive off visitors." Bradbury remembers that, when he was a youngster growing up in Kennebunkport, the island was a popular camping spot for locals. "There was a pine grove there and a nice tent site," he recalls. "Then the storms took away the pine trees, and it became more and more a wildlife refuge."
He doesn't recall anyone living on the island, but just this summer a kayaker who visited it stepped out of his boat and found an ancient Indian artifact in the water at his feet. "It was a fish-cleaning tool of some kind," Bradbury says. "All the islands through here were used by Native Americans as summer camp sites. In fact, we're forming an alliance with the Maine State Museum to do archeology work on several of the islands."
As for the island's new name, hardly anyone uses it, Bradbury admits. The old ways and old names are tough to change in Maine, although the novelty of returning from a day of boating and saying you just visited President Bush does have a certain appeal.
Lost Highway
A transcontinental road once connected the two Portlands.
File this one under the Annals of Forgotten History. Back in the Roaring Twenties, you could drive on a single road from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon. More than a "mere road," the four-thousand-mile Theodore Roosevelt International Highway was described in a brochure of the time as "the highway that opens to the tourist the door of the treasure-box of beauties and grandeurs and varied scenery of the North continent as no other national highway does."
From downtown Portland the byway headed north and west through Littleton, New Hampshire, before crossing Lake Champlain north of Burlington, Vermont, and threading west to the Canadian border at Niagara Falls. (What the Canadians called the road we have no idea.) It entered the United States again at Detroit and continued through Iowa, South Dakota, and Montana before terminating on the Columbia River in Oregon. Punctuated along the way by red markers bearing the white letters "T.R.," the road was first organized in 1921 to serve as "a suitable memorial to one of America's greatest builders and statesmen, and at the same time promote tourist travel to a section of the United States that has had few tourists in the past," according to an article in the Roosevelt Highway Bulletin.
Alas, this monument to the Bull Moose was altered just a half-dozen years later when the federal government began assigning route numbers to the country's established roads. Roosevelt's road was soon carved up, becoming part of more prosaically named roads such as Route 2 and, in Maine, Route 302. But around Sebago Lake, for instance, the honor for Roosevelt was a bit longer lasting. "I started going up that way when I was three or four years old because my parents had friends in Bridgton, and I distinctly remember seeing signs that said 'Roosevelt Trail,' " remarks director of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission Earle Shettleworth, Jr.
Those signs are long gone, but Max Skidmore, a political science professor at the University of Missouri who recently wrote a book about his experience tracing the old highway, says more subtle remnants remain today. "I only found one intact marker, in Troy, Montana, but in Maine as you progress west you still find buildings that say they are '203 Roosevelt Trail.' I also remember a 'Roosevelt Flea Market' on Route 302, so there are actually a number of little things left over from the highway in Maine."
With most modern highways seeming to be utterly devoid of personality, it's reassuring to find some touches of the great T.R. still remain in Maine.
The Valley: A term for the St. John River Valley from Allagash Plantation to Hamlin. In the indispensable Maine Lingo, the late John Gould enumerated the four directions in Aroostook County: "Over Eastward (to the Maritime Provinces), Down Country (in the direction of Houlton), Up to the Valley (toward Madawaska), and Outside (anywhere else)."

Palamo Turns Heads on Football Field |
Colleges - College DI-A |
A report by Steve Luhm of the Salt Lake Tribune said that University of Utah rugby player Thretton Palamo looked the best of the Utah running backs in the Utah football team's spring scrimmage this weekend. Palamo, who was first capped for the USA in the 2007 World Cup and has been a standout player for the USA 7s team, is sharing time between the Utah football team and rugby team, with the understanding that if he earns a scholarship with the football team, he will disconitnue rugby while at school. According to Luhm's article, Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said Palamo ran the ball hard. "We'll watch the tapes to make any definitive conclusions, but [Palamo] ran hard and certainly had a lot of attempts. He got a lot of opportunities, and it looks like he made the most of it." Palamo rushed 16 times for 73 yards, while his two closest competitors for the running back position rushed 22 times for 63 yards. |

"Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could." Louise Erdrich
This was from the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, and was the first thing that came up on my Facebook feed this morning. It honestly came at the perfect time. Graduation is 8 days away and the "real world" is almost here. If you asked me what I would feel like about a week before graduating from college, I would probably say that I thought I would be terrified right now. I'm not though. I'm excited. I'm ecstatic. I feel a million different adjectives. But most of all, I feel ready. There's nothing like leaving on your own terms, whether it be from a relationship, college, high school, or a job. There's something genuinely wonderful about looking back and feeling like you honestly did things to the best of your ability. I worked hard these past four years, and I never compromised who I am. I didn't step on anyone to get what I wanted. I really put everything I could in to everything I did, and I am so proud.

The media, in general, gets worse every time something horrific happens. My neighbor watching nonstop. She says there is quite a bit of exaggeration about heroic acts, and all with little factual information. The sad part is that hopeful authors of new books, Hollywood film makers scouting for who will be willing to be part of the upcoming TV campaign for gun control, etc. are all going on as we speak. I really feel bad for the families of these babies. What they will be enduring from all those seeking to profit politically from this in the coming days and months is truly abuse.

When the results of their failed social policies, their lack of solid moral values, their abandonment of God and their numerous hedonistic agendas come home to roost, they always attempt to pin blame on some inanimate object.

Why didn´t Obama head to Mexico for the hundreds, (if not thousands) that were killed with his Admin´s previous plan to get gun control on the table?

On May 24-26, 15,000 muslims came to Hartford to insist on passage of shariah law as a means of judging muslim incidents in the CT courts. They have targeted other cities as well. Shariah law has been adapted by many cities in Great Britain, and is on the move in a declining Europe. There is a promise by an Almighty God in Hosea 4:6. -- "If you forget Me I will forget your children." He cannot lie. Michelle Bachmann is the only vocal representative saying Obama wants to lifet up the Islamists -- in a sense taking us away from His pre-eminence and protection. I am not saying there is ANY connection. Chaos is random. But our policy is chaos and total transformation, which no one can explain. You also may have not read about Russian nuclear submarines off the eastern coast, and of at least one Pakistani mini submarine supposedly off loading Pakistanis on our shores -- Pakistan being one terrorist country with nukes. For some reason we will not rededicate our country to Christ. Worse, we booed Christian values at the democrat convention, and we see these values under attack by the republican leadership. There is no parent in this country who is not heartbroken to numbness over the enormity of this evil. Evil the reality, not the cliche. We are heartbroken for our country, to many of the greatest of all countries, and to others the source of all the world´s problems. We are loss to explain the disparity in understanding this place, and what has come to us. Please God, may these little ones, now in Heaven, lead us back to your covering and peace.

I think Obama is going to promote his gun control agenda. He is showing his Islam buddies and murderers that he is willing to disarm America and we will be ready for whatever mayhem awaits us. Where else to kill as many people as possible than in an elementary school, day care center, nursing home or senior center or any place where people gather and there is no known armed resistence. Gun free zones are the stupidest Liberal idea ever. It´s just a sign for any terrorists to mark their targets and cause unbelievable suffering and tragedy. If I were a parent I would not send my child to a school that is not secure. From now on I would hope that people would start demanding security for their kids in a public school or any place where children or elderly are. Ever since the SC decided that life was not precious, we have had to deal with this. Apparently it will not go away until someone shoots back or the bad guys can´t count on being successful enough to make the news. They don´t care about their lives, they just want big numbers of our lives. The culture of death and we know which party is enamoured of that. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Interesting to see the similarity in so many fellow L-dotters reactions.One is torn between horror at what happened, and sorrow for the families -- and fury at the vulgar, brassy opportunism of some politicians and political activists. The latter types have certainly taken Rahm´s (or was it Axelrod´s) advice about never letting a crisis go to waste, haven´ they? Obama, who was just barely tolerable in his message to the nation, hasn´t the civility to for once step back and allow one major event to pass without making it all about him.As for the news media, as usual they are giving their best nauseating imitation of those clownish ghouls who tie up the traffic on highways after an accident by slowing down to a crawl hoping feverishly for glimpses of blood and guts strewn over the road.I am sure that families nearly paralyzed by grief really enjoy having microphones thrust up their noses while the entire horrendous event is turned into a cheap soap opera.

Obama´s inevitable assault on gun ownership concerns me more than the probability of another psycho like this doing another mass killing. In a mall with thousands of shoppers present, if nobody else has a weapon, the body count could easily surpass 100. Fast & Furious didn´t play well for him but this one is the perfect storm for gun control.That said, the shooter´s mother has every right to own legal weapons but why would she have top of the line handguns and a Bushmaster unlocked in the house when she obviously had a very troubled child at home? Part of the responsibility lies with her but I guess we´ll never know how much. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

The sad part to witness is that "now" we can pray, ask for God´s intervention. Before we denied children/teachers to pray in school, then we want to blame Him when havoc occurs. The ACLU has controlled our schools, not God!America needs to stand up for Righteousness (God´s will/way)!Abortion is the law of the land. Many of these children were probably not wanted by the government, only by their parents, who sacrificed to provide their needs.This country has turned away from God, denying His existence even, not wanting Baby Jesus to be seen anymore.Political correctness is diabolical. Satan has caused all this havoc. Sadly too many politicians stand on both sides, first agreeing, then when havoc occurs, they wonder "where was God"?! They had already said we don´t want You here or anything about you.Look at our President´s Christmas Card - a doggie on it. He speaks from both sides of his mouth.Guess all decision are beyond Obama´s pay grade.One day Obama will stand before Almighty God and he will not be able to pass the buck and blame US!We are all accountable for our actions!Scripture says: Let God arise and His enemies be scattered!May it be so and the sooner the better.

Japanese premium PC case maker Abee introduced the Acubic C10R line of cubical mini-ITX cases. Available in five metallic color options - black (piano), white (glossy), silver, blue, and red; the cases measure 239 x 229 x 229 mm (LxWxH). Its interiors pack enough room for add-on cards as long as 190 mm (a compact GeForce GTX 660 Ti should make it), and CPU coolers as tall as 55 mm (most C-type coolers should make it). It features one each of 5.25-inch, 3.5-inch, and 2.5-inch drive bays. Ventilation includes a 120 mm front intake fan, and provision for two 60 mm rear exhaust fans. Made with aluminum panels and an opaque acrylic front, the cases weigh about 3.2 kg. They're priced at 27,980¥ (US $320). Source: Hermitage Akihabara
Regardless of the card length, not even a "compact 660 Ti" will fit. A single blanking plate makes it impossible and the distance from said plate to the side of the case that doesn't even have ventilation holes make it impossible to fit 90% of cards. About the only thing that'd physically fit would be a passive, single-slot low-end card... and I still question if that'd work due to a lack of space or cooling potential. I think the idea behind this is you run onboard video and be content. But, it does remind me of a Lian Li and I guess it isn't price so strangely. Not many of these type of cases out there and if the build quality is high then I see this being only marginally ($50 - $80) over-priced compared to its rivals.
Very-very expensive and it even doesn't support dual-slot videocard Who'd be mad enough to get one of those- definately not an enthusiast- a single-slot 7750 http://www.powercolor.com/Global/products_features.asp?id=442#Specification isn't what you'd call enthusiast-grade. The 5,25" is a space-wasting relict- if you'd need an ODD, you'd get a different case or an external drive. The two 60mm fans will probably generate a "generous" amount of noise. So, yeah, not impressed....
Pretty sure I would just get the Bitfenix prodigy for 1/4 the price. Way over priced and seems it would die of quick because of that.

HONOLULU (AP) -- The future is looking bleak for a celebrity privacy bill in Hawaii known as the Steven Tyler Act.
RELATED: Is Steven Tyler dressed appropriately for his age?
The proposal pushed by the Aerosmith lead singer would allow people to sue others who take photos or videos of their private moments. But after sailing through the Senate earlier this month following personal testimony from Tyler at a February hearing, the bill is missing deadlines in the state House, and key lawmakers say they won't push it through.
Rep. Angus McKelvey of Hawaii, the chairman of the first of three House committees the bill needs to pass to get to the House floor, said he won't hold a hearing for the bill.
"There is zero support for that legislation in the House of Representatives," McKelvey, chairman of the consumer protection committee, told The Associated Press. "To say there is absolutely zero support would be an understatement."
The bill already has missed one internal House deadline to be considered. A second internal deadline to hear the bill is on Thursday.
House Chief Clerk Brian Takeshita said the leaders of the committees on consumer protection, judiciary and finance could get around the deadlines if all three agree to put in a joint request to House Speaker Joseph Souki.
But McKelvey said that's not going to happen.
RELATED: Best and worst beach bods
"There is a better chance of people flapping their arms and flying from Lanai to Maui," he said.
If the committee leaders don't want to entertain the bill, the House speaker can decide to refer the bill to another committee, Takeshita said.
But Souki told the AP he doesn't plan to override McKelvey's decision.
McKelvey said he has sympathy for Tyler and other celebrities whose privacy rights have been violated. But there are enough legal avenues available to them, including taking the issue to court because privacy is protected in the Hawaii constitution, he said.
Tyler, who owns a multimillion dollar home on Maui, earlier said he asked Sen. Kalani English, also from Maui, to introduce the bill after someone photographed him with his girlfriend at his home in December.
Along with Tyler, rock legend Mick Fleetwood, who has restaurant in McKelvey's district, personally appeared to urge lawmakers to pass the bill. Their appearance generated buzz in the state Capitol as staffers snapped cellphone pictures of the stars and compared them in the hallways after the hearing.
Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne and several other high-profile celebrities also submitted written testimony in favor of the bill.
RELATED: Hottest bikini Twitpics
National media organizations have staunchly opposed the proposal, saying it would limit freedom of the press.
