Why you should join Pinterest
One of the biggest talks lately has been Pinterest. It has been talked about recently over and over again, why? It's the fastest growing social community site in history. The addiction to Pinterest is just overwhelming. It's easy to use and it's more friendly than using Tumblr. Some of the late gamers jumping on now are businesses. What they don't realize is that it caters towards online stores! Really easy and intuitive. It's also a bonus for SEO which is why some of the key players in the marketing industry have utilized this powerful growing social site before it's too late.
Everyday ModSession searches for the next popular social media site, yes...this is it everyone. It can't really get any easier than this for now. I'm sure it will only continue to improve as Pinterest tries to keep up with the popular demand.
Currently, the only way to join Pinterest is to be on a waiting list. Typically, it takes about 1-2 weeks to get accepted from what I remember. However, once accepted, you will be able to send invites to other friends so they don't have to painfully wait to get their Pin-the-board fix.
For businesses, learn to accomplish the best SEO on Pinterest as well as your general interaction with your other social media networks. Treat Pinterest the same as you would with Twitter, Facebook, G+ or Tumblr and you will gain the followers you need in no time.

A passion for sure, great way to see the country, but I can virtually garrantee most of the small, mostly country, independents would scratch their heads before contemplating if they should get rid of me. Hard sell to these people, as everything and the dominating theater chains in the nearst city is putting them out. We did not have antitrust laws here like the states, so variouse markets got dominated. But, with the national broadband network there is easy way to set up film distribution using Red (which is below the standard data rate) versus existing (which is way above the rate, so costly). But I can easily see that market double over here from new small independent art house theater, even started by film clubs, to concentrate on Indie stuff. I actually am interested in multi-functional venues that can use the projector and seating area for other things in regional location, such as a local sports club that could multi purpose large entertainment venue as theaters when nothing is booked, probably more common over here. See, the market is not so limited, but it would be better if the projector could do a 15 meter screen for $10-20k.

Jeff was born and bred in Chillicothe Ohio. The product of two Ohio State graduates, he was wrapped in scarlet and gray swaddling clothes before he left the hospital to protect him from the evil winds emanating from that state up north. Jeff has been attending Buckeye football games for as long as he can remember, and was lucky enough to be in attendance during the 2002 Michigan game that propelled the Buckeyes to the National Championship. As the final whistle blew an old man sitting behind him lit up a cigar, took an enormous puff and whispered "finally" into the autumn air as students were simultaneously being maced with reckless disregard on the field. A guy doesn't forget something like that. Jeff recently received a Masters degree in Journalism from Northwestern and lives in Chicago.

Joseph Smith was a remarkable leader. He served as President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; mayor of Nauvoo, one of the largest cities in Illinois; lieutenant-general of the Nauvoo Legion; and in 1844 he was a candidate for President of the United States.
What set Joseph Smith apart from other dynamic leaders was the source of his teachings: the God of Heaven. "The best way to obtain truth and wisdom," he taught, "is not to ask it from books, but to go to God in prayer, and obtain divine teaching."1
Joseph led with love. He recognized the worth of every soul as a child of God. When asked why so many followed him, he replied: "It is because I possess the principle of love. All I can offer the world is a good heart and a good hand."2
The Prophet refused to place himself above others. Rather, as he humbly said, "I love to wait upon the Saints, and be a servant to all, hoping that I may be exalted in the due time of the Lord."3 Bereft of pride, Joseph personified the Lord's counsel: "Whosoever will be great among you, . . . shall be servant of all."4

Okay, so I've never actually seen anyone keep a Robot Lab Book, but this link will take you to a checklist that describes how and what goes into a Lab Book (Chemistry). With some slight modifications, this list could easily describe for a robot club, FLL team, or other organization a way to help kids organize their experiments with the NXT kit.
I remember keeping Chemistry and Physics lab books in college, and the rules were fairly strict and part of our grade was based on a review of our book(s) at the end of semesters. No pencil, of course - everything was in ink. A torn out page could get you an automatic letter grade loss, no kidding.
Still, it's an interesting article and maybe someone can come up with a version of the checklist for teachers/coaches.

HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Department of Labor & Industry Secretary Julia Hearthway announced the implementation of the Workers' Compensation Automation and Integration System, or WCAIS, earlier this week.
The new automated system to manage the state's workers' compensation system integrates the Bureau of Workers' Compensation, the Workers' Compensation Office of Adjudication and the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board, resulting in increased efficiencies for insurers, employers and claimants.
"The new WCAIS system, the first of its kind in the nation, will help Labor & Industry serve the citizens of Pennsylvania more expediently," Hearthway said. "WCAIS will simplify and automate the workers' compensation system, enhancing customer service and streamlining claims handling and resolution."
The merging of these programs into WCAIS will give the workers' compensation community access to all workers' compensation matters in one place, including claims, disputes and appeal information. The system will provide the community with greater transparency, 24/7 availability of online services, faster claims processing and resolution times and improved data management.
WCAIS will also introduce Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI, a national standard for documenting and reporting claims transactions with the Bureau of Workers' Compensation. The new EDI system will provide for the filing of most claims-related forms online, increasing efficiency and reducing costs and the use of paper forms.
"With a more agile and customer-friendly system, carriers, third-party administrators and self-insured employers should experience cost savings as a result of the streamlined process," Hearthway said.

John Burdon Sanderson Haldane FRS (5 November 1892 – 1 December 1964[1]), known as Jack (but who used 'J. B. S.' in his printed works), was a British-born geneticist and evolutionary biologist generally credited with a central role in the development of neo-Darwinian thinking (popularised by Richard Dawkins' 1976 work titled The Selfish Gene). A staunch Marxist, he was critical of Britain's role in the Suez Crisis, and chose to leave Britain, move to India and become an Indian citizen. He was also one of the founders (along with Ronald Fisher and Sewall Wright) of population genetics.
Aristocratic family[edit]
Haldane was born in Oxford to John Scott Haldane, a physiologist, and Louisa Kathleen Haldane (née Trotter), and descended from an aristocratic intellectual Scottish family (see Haldane family).[2] His younger sister, Naomi, became a writer. His uncle was Richard Haldane, 1st Viscount Haldane, politician and one time Secretary of State for War; his aunt was the author Elizabeth Haldane. His father was a scientist, a philosopher and a Liberal, and his mother was a Conservative. Haldane took an interest in his father's work very early in childhood. It was the result of this lifelong study of the natural world and his devotion to empirical evidence that he became an atheist. He felt that atheism was the only rational deduction available in light of all the evidence, saying, "My practice as a scientist is atheistic. That is to say, when I set up an experiment I assume no god, angel or devil is going to interfere with its course... I should therefore be intellectually dishonest if I were not also atheistic in the affairs of the world."[3]
Haldane was educated at Eton and New College, Oxford. He obtained first-class honours in mathematical moderations (1912) and Greats (a combination of philosophy and ancient history, 1914). He served in the British Army during the First World War in the Black Watch regiment, being commissioned a second lieutenant on 15 August 1914.[4]
Pioneer geneticist[edit]
Between 1919 and 1922 he was a Fellow of New College, Oxford, where he researched physiology and genetics. He then moved to the Cambridge University, where he accepted a Readership in Biochemistry at Trinity College and taught until 1932.[2] During his nine years at Cambridge, Haldane worked on enzymes and genetics, particularly the mathematical side of genetics.[2] Haldane wrote many popular essays on science; in 1927 these were collected and published in a volume titled Possible Worlds. He then accepted a position as Professor of Genetics and moved to University College London, where he spent most of his academic career.[2] Four years later he became the first Weldon Professor of Biometry at University College London.[2] In 1923, in a talk given in Cambridge, Haldane, foreseeing the exhaustion of coal for power generation in Britain, proposed a network of hydrogen-generating windmills. This is the first proposal of the hydrogen-based renewable energy economy.[5]
Population genetics and the Briggs–Haldane equation[edit]
In 1925, G. E. Briggs and Haldane derived a new interpretation of the enzyme kinetics law described by Victor Henri in 1903, different from the 1913 Michaelis–Menten equation. Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten assumed that enzyme (catalyst) and substrate (reactant) are in fast equilibrium with their complex, which then dissociates to yield product and free enzyme. The Briggs–Haldane equation was of the same algebraic form, but their derivation is based on the quasi steady state approximation, that is the concentration of intermediate complex (or complexes) does not change. As a result, the microscopic meaning of the "Michaelis Constant" (Km) is different. Although commonly referring it as Michaelis–Menten kinetics, most of the current models actually use the Briggs–Haldane derivation.
Haldane made many contributions to human genetics and was one of the three major figures to develop the mathematical theory of population genetics. He is usually regarded as the third of these in importance, after R. A. Fisher and Sewall Wright. His greatest contribution was in a series of ten papers on "A Mathematical Theory of Natural and Artificial Selection", which was a major series of papers on the mathematical theory of natural selection. It treated many major cases for the first time, showing the direction and rates of changes of gene frequencies. It also pioneered in investigating the interaction of natural selection with mutation and with migration. Haldane's book, The Causes of Evolution (1932), summarized these results, especially in its extensive appendix. This body of work was a component of what came to be known as the "modern evolutionary synthesis", re-establishing natural selection as the premier mechanism of evolution by explaining it in terms of the mathematical consequences of Mendelian genetics.
Haldane introduced many quantitative approaches in biology such as in his essay On Being the Right Size. His contributions to theoretical population genetics and statistical human genetics included the first methods using maximum likelihood for estimation of human linkage maps, and pioneering methods for estimating human mutation rates. He was the first to calculate the mutational load caused by recurring mutations at a gene locus, and to introduce the idea of a "cost of natural selection".
Haldane is also known for an observation from his essay On Being the Right Size, which Jane Jacobs and others have since referred to as Haldane's principle. This is that sheer size very often defines what bodily equipment an animal must have: "Insects, being so small, do not have oxygen-carrying bloodstreams. What little oxygen their cells require can be absorbed by simple diffusion of air through their bodies. But being larger means an animal must take on complicated oxygen pumping and distributing systems to reach all the cells." The conceptual metaphor to animal body complexity has been of use in energy economics and secession ideas.
Keen experimenter[edit]
Haldane was a keen experimenter, willing to expose himself to danger to obtain data. One experiment involving elevated levels of oxygen saturation triggered a fit which resulted in him suffering crushed vertebrae.[citation needed] In his decompression chamber experiments, he and his volunteers suffered perforated eardrums, but, as Haldane stated in What is Life, "the drum generally heals up; and if a hole remains in it, although one is somewhat deaf, one can blow tobacco smoke out of the ear in question, which is a social accomplishment."[6]
In 1952, he received the Darwin Medal from the Royal Society. In 1956, he was awarded the Huxley Memorial Medal of the Royal Anthropological Institute. Among other awards, he received the Feltrinelli Prize, an Honorary Doctorate of Science, an Honorary Fellowship at New College, and the Kimber Award of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. He was awarded the Linnean Society of London's prestigious Darwin–Wallace Medal in 1958.
In 1924, Haldane met Charlotte Burghes (née Franken), a young reporter for the Daily Express. So that they could marry, Charlotte divorced her husband Jack Burghes, causing some controversy. Haldane was almost dismissed from Cambridge for the way he handled his meeting with her, which led to the divorce. They married in 1926. Following their separation in 1942, the Haldanes divorced in 1945. He later married Helen Spurway.
Political views[edit]
Haldane became a socialist during the First World War, supported the Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War, and finally became a Communist. He was an enthusiastic, dialectical materialist Marxist, and wrote many articles in the Communist Daily Worker. He was the chairman of the editorial board of the London edition from 1940 to 1949. His vision of the Socialist principle can be considered pragmatic. In On Being the Right Size, Haldane doubted that socialism could be operated on the scale of the British Empire or the United States or, implicitly, the Soviet Union: "while nationalization of certain industries is an obvious possibility in the largest of states, I find it no easier to picture a completely socialized British Empire or United States than an elephant turning somersaults or a hippopotamus jumping a hedge."
In 1937, Haldane became a Marxist and an open supporter of the Communist Party, although not a member of the party. In 1938, he proclaimed enthusiastically that "I think that Marxism is true." He joined the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1942. The first edition of his children's book My Friend Mr. Leakey contained an avowal of his Party membership which was removed from later editions. Events in the Soviet Union, such as the rise of anti-Mendelian agronomist Trofim Lysenko and the crimes of Joseph Stalin, may have caused him to break with the Party later in life, although he showed a partial support of Lysenko and Stalin. Pressed to speak out about the rise of Lysenkoism and the persecution of geneticists in the Soviet Union as anti-Darwinist and the denouncement of genetics as incompatible with dialectical materialism, Haldane shifted the focus to the United Kingdom and a criticism of the dependence of scientific research on financial patronage. In 1941, Haldane wrote about the Soviet trial of his friend and fellow geneticist Nikolai Vavilov:
The controversy among Soviet geneticists has been largely one between the academic scientist, represented by Vavilov and interested primarily in the collection of facts, and the man who wants results, represented by Lysenko. It has been conducted not with venom, but in a friendly spirit. Lysenko said (in the October discussions of 1939): 'The important thing is not to dispute; let us work in a friendly manner on a plan elaborated scientifically. Let us take up definite problems, receive assignments from the People's Commissariat of Agriculture of the USSR and fulfil them scientifically. Soviet genetics, as a whole, is a successful attempt at synthesis of these two contrasted points of view.'
His ambiguous attitude toward the persecution of Vavilov was explicable by the atmosphere of the period, where supporters of Communism needed to be unequivocal. His attitude changed dramatically at the end of the Second World War, when Lysenkoism reached a totalitarian influence in the Communist movement. He then became an explicit critic of the regime. He left the Party in 1950, shortly after considering standing for Parliament as a Communist Party candidate. He continued to admire Stalin, describing him in 1962 as "a very great man who did a very good job".
In 1956, Haldane left his post at University College London, and moved to Calcutta, where he joined the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI).[7] Haldane's move to India was influenced by a number of factors. Officially he stated that his chief political reason was in response to the Suez Crisis. He wrote: "Finally, I am going to India because I consider that recent acts of the British Government have been violations of international law." His interest in India was also because of his interest in biological research, belief that the warm climate would do him good, and that India offered him freedom and shared socialist dreams.[8]
At the ISI, he headed the biometry unit and spent time researching a range of topics and guiding other researchers around him. He was keenly interested in inexpensive research and he wrote to Julian Huxley about his observations on Vanellus malabaricus, the Yellow-wattled Lapwing, boasting that he observed them from the comfort of his backyard. Haldane took an interest in anthropology, human genetics and botany. He advocated the use of Vigna sinensis (cowpea) as a model for studying plant genetics. He took an interest in the pollination of the common weed Lantana camara. The quantitative study of biology was his main focus and he lamented that Indian universities forced those who took up biology to give up on an education in mathematics.[9] Haldane took an interest in the study of floral symmetry. His wife, Helen Spurway, conducted studies on wild silk moths.[8] In January 1961 they befriended young Canadian lepidopterist Gary Botting, who initially visited the Indian Statistical Institute to share the results of his experiments hybridizing silk moths of the genus Antheraea. Uncomfortable with Haldane's "communist" sympathies, the United States cultural attache, Duncan Emery, summarily cancelled Gary Botting's attendance at a high-profile banquet to which the Haldanes had invited him to meet biologists from all over India. Haldane protested this "insult" by going on a much-publicized hunger strike.[10][11] When the director of the I.S.I., P.C. Mahalanobis, confronted Haldane about both the hunger strike and the unbudgeted banquet, Haldane resigned his post (in February 1961)[12] and moved to a newly established biometry unit in Odisha.[8]
Haldane eventually became an Indian citizen.[7] He was also interested in Hinduism and after his arrival he became a vegetarian and started wearing Indian clothes.[8] In Kolkata, the busy connecting road from Eastern Metropolitan Bypass to Park Circus area on which the Science City is located, is named after him. In 1961, Haldane described India as "the closest approximation to the Free World." His American friend, Jerzy Neyman, a professor of Statistics in the University of California, Berkeley, objected to this premise. Neyman gave his impression that "India has its fair share of scoundrels and a tremendous amount of poor unthinking and disgustingly subservient individuals who are not attractive."[7] Haldane retorted:
Perhaps one is freer to be a scoundrel in India than elsewhere. So one was in the U.S.A in the days of people like Jay Gould, when (in my opinion) there was more internal freedom in the U.S.A than there is today. The "disgusting subservience" of the others has its limits. The people of Calcutta riot, upset trams, and refuse to obey police regulations, in a manner which would have delighted Jefferson. I don't think their activities are very efficient, but that is not the question at issue.
When on 25 June 1962, six years after Haldane's move to India, he was described in print as a "Citizen of the World" by an American science writer named Groff Conklin, Haldane's response was as follows:[7]
No doubt I am in some sense a citizen of the world. But I believe with Thomas Jefferson that one of the chief duties of a citizen is to be a nuisance to the government of his state. As there is no world state, I cannot do this. On the other hand, I can be, and am, a nuisance to the government of India, which has the merit of permitting a good deal of criticism, though it reacts to it rather slowly. I also happen to be proud of being a citizen of India, which is a lot more diverse than Europe, let alone the U.S.A, the U.S.S.R or China, and thus a better model for a possible world organisation. It may of course break up, but it is a wonderful experiment. So, I want to be labeled as a citizen of India.
Author and a source of inspiration[edit]
Haldane was a famous science populariser. His essay, Daedalus; or, Science and the Future (1924), was remarkable in predicting many scientific advances but has been criticised for presenting a too idealistic view of scientific progress. Haldane's book shows the effect of the separation between sexual life and pregnancy as a satisfactory one on human psychology and social life. The book was regarded as shocking science fiction at the time, being the first book about ectogenesis (the development of foetuses in artificial wombs) - "test tube babies", brought to life without sexual intercourse or pregnancy. His book, A.R.P. (Air Raid Precautions) (1938) combined his physiological research into the effects of stress upon the human body with his experience of air raids during the Spanish Civil War to provide a scientific explanation of the air raids that Britain was to endure during the Second World War, then imminent.
Haldane was a friend of the author Aldous Huxley, who parodied him in the novel Antic Hay (1923) as Shearwater, "the biologist too absorbed in his experiments to notice his friends bedding his wife". Haldane's discourse in Daedalus on ectogenesis was an influence on Huxley's Brave New World (1932) which features a eugenic society. Haldane's work was also admired by Gerald Heard.[13]
Haldane was one of those, along with Olaf Stapledon, Charles Kay Ogden, I.A. Richards, and H.G. Wells, whom C.S. Lewis accused of scientism, "the belief that the supreme moral end is the perpetuation of our own species, and that this is to be pursued even if, in the process of being fitted for survival, our species has to be stripped of all those things for which we value it—of pity, of happiness, and of freedom." Shortly after the third book of the Ransom Trilogy appeared, J.B.S. Haldane criticised all three of them in an article titled "Auld Hornie, F.R.S.". The title reflects the sarcastic tone of the article, Auld Hornie being the pet name given to the devil by the Scots and F.R.S. standing for "Fellow of the Royal Society". In the essay, Haldane attacked Lewis for scientific inaccuracies, as well as what Haldane saw as Lewis' "complete mischaracterization of science, and his disparagement of the human race".[14] Lewis's response, "A Reply to Professor Haldane", was never published during his lifetime and apparently never seen by Haldane. In it, Lewis claims that he was attacking scientism, not scientists, by challenging the view of some that the supreme goal of our species is to perpetuate itself at any expense.
Haldane wrote a popular book for children titled My Friend Mr Leakey (first published in 1937) which contained the stories "A Meal With a Magician", "A Day in the Life of a Magician", "Mr Leakey's Party", "Rats", "The Snake with the Golden Teeth", and "My Magic Collar Stud". It was reprinted several times – in 1944, 1971, and 1972 with illustrations by Quentin Blake. When he appears as a character in the stories, several of which are written in the first person, he describes his job as a professor, or: "Doing sums to make new kinds of primroses and cats".
Haldane edited Gary Botting's manuscript on the genetics of giant silk moths with marginal notes. In his preface to The Orwellian World of Jehovah's Witnesses, Dr. Botting wrote that when he was a teenager Haldane showed him many species of birds.[15] Botting credited Haldane with throwing him a "lifeline" in the form of a demonstrable manifestation of Darwinian evolution, which, decades later, "rescued" him from the perils of religious fundamentalism, in particular creationism, that he had faced in his youth. Half a century later, Botting still regarded his visit with J.B.S. Haldane and Helen Spurway as the single most influential existential experience of his life.[16]
In his An Autobiography in Brief, written shortly before his death in India, Haldane named four close associates as those showing promise to become illustrious scientists: T. A. Davis, K. R. Dronamraju, S. D. Jayakar and S. K. Roy.[17]
Shortly before his death from cancer, Haldane wrote a comic poem while in the hospital, mocking his own incurable disease; it was read by his friends, who appreciated the consistent irreverence with which Haldane had lived his life:
"Cancer's a Funny Thing:
I wish I had the voice of Homer
To sing of rectal carcinoma,
This kills a lot more chaps, in fact,
Than were bumped off when Troy was sacked..."
The poem ends:
"...I know that cancer often kills,
But so do cars and sleeping pills;
And it can hurt one till one sweats,
So can bad teeth and unpaid debts.
A spot of laughter, I am sure,
Often accelerates one's cure;
So let us patients do our bit
To help the surgeons make us fit."[18]
Haldane died on 1 December 1964. He willed that his body be used for study at the Rangaraya Medical College, Kakinada.[19]
"My body has been used for both purposes during my lifetime and after my death, whether I continue to exist or not, I shall have no further use for it, and desire that it shall be used by others. Its refrigeration, if this is possible, should be a first charge on my estate."[20]
- He is famous for the (possibly apocryphal) response that he gave when some theologians asked him what could be inferred about the mind of the Creator from the works of His Creation: "An inordinate fondness for beetles."[21] This is in reference to there being over 400,000 known species of beetles in the world, and that this represents 40% of all known insect species (at the time of the statement, it was over half of all known insect species).[22]
- Often quoted for saying, "My own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose."[23]
- "It seems to me immensely unlikely that mind is a mere by-product of matter. For if my mental processes are determined wholly by the motions of atoms in my brain I have no reason to suppose that my beliefs are true. They may be sound chemically, but that does not make them sound logically. And hence I have no reason for supposing my brain to be composed of atoms."[24]
- "Teleology is like a mistress to a biologist: he cannot live without her but he's unwilling to be seen with her in public."[25][26]
- "I had [gastritis] for about fifteen years until I read Lenin and other writers, who showed me what was wrong with our society and how to cure it...Since then I have needed no magnesia."[27]
- "Theories have four stages of acceptance. i) this is worthless nonsense; ii) this is an interesting, but perverse, point of view, iii) this is true, but quite unimportant; iv) I always said so."[28]
- "Three hundred and ten species in all of India, representing two hundred and thirty-eight genera, sixty-two families, nineteen different orders. All of them on the Ark. And this is only India, and only the birds!"[29]
- When asked whether he would lay down his life for his brother, Haldane, preempting Hamilton's Rule, supposedly replied "two brothers or eight cousins".

Prepare to see a whole lot more of Ricky Martin.
The entertainer, who's currently acting in "Evita" on Broadway, has just inked a talent holding deal with NBC Universal's Universal Television to develop and star in his own network show in addition to appearing in specials.
The announcement was made on Monday, with Universal Television's Executive Vice President Bela Bajaria saying in a statement that Martin "is an iconic superstar who is as talented as he is popular."
"Whether he's performing before sold-out concert crowds, or starring on Broadway," Bajaria continued, "Ricky connects with his audience in a very palpable way - and we are thrilled that he will be adding TV star to his incredible resume."
Of course, this won't be Martin's first major television close-up: He appeared on the soap opera "General Hospital" in the mid-'90s.
He's also had previous stints on Broadway ("Les Miserables") and on the big screen (the 1999 horror flick "Idle Hands").

1 Meetup Group matches "Cooking with Organics and Herbs" near Nashville, TN
We are surrounded by Wild Eatables! Wild growing plants are REAL natural and whole foods. Some are good for raw food eating, some must be cooked to be eaten. Being in nature and eating from nature gives us spiritual and nutritional and spiritual recreation. We can incorporate into our lives plants that were uses by Indians and herbalists for hundreds of years to relieve suffering and restore balance to ailing bodies. Most events take place on a hilly, mostly wooded "peace" of land in NW Nashvill …

Make your own mind up and get it as raw as possible. Even then the language unless you are aquinted with the particular terms might be a little confusing for those new but you pick up the lingo relativerly quickly.
A lot of taoist and buddhist philosophies are really cool too. Leaves a real calming effect

Pitching on Trial
The mighty has fallen. It may not be as depressing as the fact that the house you bought for $300,000 dollars two years ago might sell for $225,000 today, but in fantasy circles the loss was just as severe. Stephen Strasburg suffered a substantially torn ulnar collateral ligament, and what that means is that there is an exceedingly high probability that he will undergo Tommy John surgery. I already wrote about the ramifications of this situation in Five Questions: Is Strasburg Finished?, but I wanted to expand on something I only briefly mentioned in that piece – and that is the way that organizations baby their pitchers. Is there any benefit to this recent practice?
It has become a comical situation really. Teams are so worried about protecting their investments that they treat them as if they were made out of paper mache. In fact, the level of injury in today's pitcher seems to be much higher than it was in years past despite the advent of advanced physical training and medical proficiency. How is it that guys who are bigger, stronger, more reliably trained, and more closely watched than ever before break down more quickly than at any point in the past? I just don't get it.
In the case of the Nationals, the team counted everything Strasburg did with the attention of an auditor from the government who is trying to extract every penny from your wallet. They never let him toss more than 99 pitches in a big league game, and only twice was he allowed to log even seven innings in an outing. A lot of good that all that monitoring did for Mr. Strasburg.
At the other end of the spectrum we have his teammate, Livan Hernandez, who has never missed a buffet in his life – yet he continues to roll on basically injury free. Listed as 35 years old, he might actually be 40 for all we know, Livan continues to rack up innings year after year, and he's now 11 innings from 13th straight season of at least 180-innings. Is Livan simply gifted with a "rubber" arm? Was he genetically predisposed to never have a serious arm problem? Has he avoided injury because his career average for a fastball is a mere 85 mph? I mean after all, Strasburg's average change-up this season was 89.7 mph.
I have no idea what the answers are to these questions. All I know is that time after time we are smacked in the face by the fact that even though we think we have it figured out, we actually have no clue.
Strasburg had his innings pitched totals limited – almost obnoxiously so. Strasburg had hid pitch total managed fastidiously as well. Yet here we are with a torn tendon and the inevitable surgery.
Perhaps the truth is that human beings simply aren't meant to throw a baseball over an over again at such speeds. There were hurlers in the past who could rush it up there in the high 90′s, guys like Walter Johnson, Bob Feller, Nolan Ryan and J.R. Richard obviously come to mind, but there is no disputing the fact that today there are more pitchers than ever capable of tossing the old ball at speeds in excess of 95 mph. As training methods have improved, pitchers are able to get more out of their body than ever before, but perhaps we've gotten to the point that we have taxed the human body so excessively that sooner or later, like a taught rubber band, there will be an inevitable snap back.
If you ask me here is the simply truth – each man has a certain amount of bullets in his gun. It doesn't matter if he stands 5'11″ or 6'6″, it doesn't matter if he weighs 165 or 250 lbs, and it doesn't matter if he throws 87 or 97 mph. Sooner or later everyone's arm goes, and for every Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine we have a Francisco Liriano, Stephen Strasburg, Chris Carpenter, Brian Wilson, Joakim Soria etcetera, etcetera. The real issue here isn't training methods or velocity as much as it should be a realization that sooner or later all pitchers have to pay the price for the fame and fortune they attain.

A friend and I have started an LLC. We'll be doing web/interactive and video services. Since some of these services take longer than others is it ok for the members (my friend and I) to be paid separately per job? Example.. we sell a 10K web/video job... 2K of that is video work (my friend) the other 8k is the web work (myself). Saving 30% of the profits, are we then able to cut checks from the biz account for $1400 to my friend and $5600 for myself?

Couldn't you say in there that your compensation/salary will be based on the amount of the work done or something, that would allow for this type of distribution? That's certainly something to look into. | |||
If you're in the US and you're equal partners, no. You can't just cut a distribution check (they have to be based on the % ownership). You can pay W2 wages though, but you'll then be getting into IRS tax implications. Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer or accountant. | |||

In place of the standard aluminum figurines of soccer (or "football" in Europe) players are leggy line-ups of Barbie dolls, ready for action. Both a work of art, as well as a super-glam spin on a game-room classic, the Barbie Foosball table has garnered lots of attention since its creation. After its introduction at DMY, the International Design Festival in Berlin, the Barbie foosball table started quite a buzz on the web. One was prominently featured in Paris' top boutique and others have been traveling the world exhibited in art galleries, prestigious stores and on television. This item, which retails for $25,000, is available for special order by contacting the FAO Schwarz NYC Flagship Store at (212) 644-9400. Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery (free shipping).

On the road with Chuck Miceli:
from criminal justice to paranormal fiction
by Barbara Van Reed
Connecticut author Chuck Miceli published his first novel last year and is on the road to do his most favorite thing: greeting and talking with his readers. The book is Amanda's Room and he will be at Dudley's Pearle L. Crawford Library for a reading and signing event next Monday.
Amanda's Room, a paranormal thriller, has had good reviews from readers. One called it "a real page turner." It takes place in the Catskills in upstate New York. Miceli describes it this way: "When death came for Amanda Reynolds, it could not pry her from the room. Katie Jarvis knows that Amanda is trying to communicate in the only way she knows how: by altering the weather. But Katie cannot decipher what Amanda is saying or why, and time is running out. Something is stalking Katie and her team. As the violence of the weather takes on monstrous proportions, they must unravel the meaning in the storms, or no one will be safe from the power of Amanda's room."
Miceli told us the story of how the book came to be, and how he became a novelist, a story equally intriguing.
An electronics engineer by trade, Miceli took a job instructing inmates in electronic maintenance and repair at a Connecticut reformatory for boys. He became a work supervisor for electronics at the facility, and that led to a career as a training officer in jails and maximum security prisons. He was a Resource Center Coordinator for the National Institute of Corrections and Chief of Curriculum for the Connecticut Justice Academy. He also worked as a consultant to the American Correctional Association, the National Juvenile Court Services Association and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges.
"In the 1970s there was a rash of fires in jails and prisons. Inmates would set fire to their mattresses and other flammable materials. I was asked to investigate the root causes." He researched reports of fires everywhere, talking with corrections and fire personnel all over the country. He submitted a 130-page report on his findings that was so well accepted that "they they asked me to turn it into a book."
Published in 1979 and co-authored with Alton P. Golden, Fire Behind Bars, was the first book ever written on the subject of deadly fires in secure institutions. For the next two years Miceli traveled the country speaking and consulting with law enforcement groups and book clubs.
The experience was an epiphany of sorts. Miceli decided that he loved writing and he loved interacting with his readers. In 2003 he planned an early retirement from his long career in the criminal justice system to become a full-time writer.
While the dream was clear, the path to writing success wasn't. "I played around with several different projects," he said. "I started writing an historical novel about coal mining, as homage to my father, who was a coalminer in Pittston, Pennsylvania. It will be my 'Great American Novel,' some day, but I wasn't emotionally and intellectually ready for it." He did various other kinds of jobs.
He wrote articles and poetry. He worked on a romantic novel, but it wasn't gelling. He also wrote a short story titled "The Room." That was the project that he came back to first. It became the genesis for Amanda's Room. In 2008 he woke up one day and said "I'm a writer" and began work on it in earnest. "At first I would put in four or five hours a day, then six hours, then eight. Finally, I'd go back to work after dinner."
The original story began with a spiritual quest. What would you do in a perfect environment, a place where no one could lie? And what caused the room's perfect environment? The history is complex. Miceli explains. "In the 1970s, some prisons started to paint some cell blocks pink. A particular hue, called Baker-Miller Pink after its researchers, showed that pink could reduce prisoners' aggression and violent tendencies." The idea of how a room is painted introduces the paranormal aspect in Amanda's Room.
Inspiration for "The Room" and Amanda's Room also came from Catskill Mountain stories, harking back to characters like Rip Van Winkle and Ichabod Crane. Miceli spent a lot of time in the Catskills before and after he married his wife, who grew up there. The area seemed right for the story's setting, he explained. The folklore included weather as a character, the thunder in the mountains; researching weather patterns for the book served to increase his interest in the subject. Each chapter of Amanda's Room starts with a weather story. The fact that the book culminates with a giant storm that speeds up the coast of the Northeast, not unlike Superstorm Sandy, is coincidental. "When Sandy happened I was floored….that's so similar to what I've written." It adds a realistic aspect to the book, he concedes.
The writing was not without its setbacks. "I never knew about writer's block," he said. "Now I understand it intimately." For Miceli the block continued for several months. Finally he worked through it by taking a long drive in the role of one of his characters, and was able to finish the book early last year.
With the critical acclaim and success of his first novel, Miceli is considering his next project. He's had a lot of requests for a sequel, and plans to make Katie Jarvis a character in his next book, even if it's not a real sequel. The plans for the next Great American novel are still in the plans too, when he's ready.
Writing is now Miceli's life. "I've fallen in love with words. You get a sense of euphoria when you find exactly the right word to express a meaning."
Still, he reflects back on his early years in the reformatory. "That was the greatest job I ever had. The inmates there had a profound effect on my life. I was able to see how good some people can be even in a prison."
He will exercise his other passion, meeting and interacting with his readers at the library on Jan. 14 at 6:15 p.m.
