Been out of wireless range all day at one of my kid's activities, but back now with the day-after post following the Memphis Tigers' 68-50 dismantling of GU on Saturday night.
We'll start with the links: Here's my gamer, John Blanchette's column, the Seattle Times' Steve Kelley's column, the Memphis Commercial Appeal game story and replay.
Much more below.
—On Gonzaga's first offensive possession, Matt Bouldin cut down the lane, caught a pass and had his layup rejected by Robert Dozier. A couple minutes later, Bouldin had an open look at a 3-pointer but missed.
It was a tough night for virtually every Bulldog, including Bouldin, who averaged 16.8 points in January. He was 0 of 3 in the first half and just 2 of 9 for the game. He didn't score his first point until six minutes were gone in the second half. His first basket came two minutes later.
Bouldin had trouble getting free from 6-6 Antonio Anderson.
"He's a great defender," Bouldin said. "He was up in me, away from the ball. There'd be a ball screen over there and he's up in me. I just couldn't get in the flow."
Later in the first half, Bouldin posted up and missed from close range. Gonzaga got the ball back and Austin Daye missed a jump hook. Even when GU got good looks, it rarely connected.
"They were dialed into the things we did, they guarded everyone well as far as taking away our strengths. They came out and played their tails off," GU's Steven Gray said. "They were clogging up the lanes. That's when we have to go to other things – curls, playing off down screens and ball movement. That's an adjustment we'll have to make."
—Bouldin, by the way, finished with six points, leaving him one short of 1,000 for his career.
—Reserve center Robert Sacre (foot) said there's an outside chance he could begin practicing (no contact) at the end of this week. He said he feels some discomfort in his foot, but that's probably due to inactivity. He said he wants to be cautious and smart in deciding if he'll be able to play again this season.
Head coach Mark Few said earlier in the week that if Sacre does return to practice, it would have to be determined whether he can play at or near the level he displayed before he was hurt in December. At that time, Sacre was playing quality minutes, between 6-11 per game, rebounding well and chipped in 15 points in 44 total minutes.
—Gonzaga's starting five, outstanding against
Josh Heytvelt had eight of his 11 points in the second half, four early on and the other four in the middle of GU's late comeback. He was the lone starter to reach double figures. Austin Daye and Bouldin each had six points, Gray five – his only field goal was in the first 45 seconds. Jeremy Pargo was 1 of 6 and scored just two points.
"That definitely had a hand in it," Daye said of the Tigers' adhesive defense.
As tough as things were on the offensive end, the first five didn't fare much better on the defensive end. Freshman point guard Tyreke Evans had 14 of his 22 points in the first half and at least three assists (though he was credited for just two). He had a couple of nifty passes go unrewarded because his teammates weren't ready or couldn't finish inside.
When he wasn't penetrating, Evans was knocking down 3s (three of them in the first half). A 30-percent shooter on 3s coming in, he finished 3 of 6, including a fortunate kiss off the glass on a 21-foot bank shot.
"He played extremely well,"
"We definitely had a big letdown on the defensive end, and with turnovers and to get outrebounded like that … it's inevitable what's going to happen," Daye said.
"They were just hitting shots, it wasn't like they were tough shots," Bouldin said. "We definitely weren't doing what we usually do on defense. We just didn't have it."
—While the starters struggled, Gonzaga's bench provided a bit of a spark. Micah Downs had 10 first-half points on 3 of 3 shooting (2 of 2 on 3s) and 2 of 2 at the free-throw line. In the second half, Few benched Bouldin, Pargo and Daye and went with Demetri Goodson, Ira Brown and
"They brought us a lot of energy, caused turnovers, 'Meech' (Goodson) was attacking," Daye said. "They did a great job. The starters and the ones coach counts on, we didn't do that. We just didn't bring a lot of energy."
"I was just trying to pick up in man defense, trying to fly around and make things happen, instead of playing timid like we did in the first half," Goodson said.
—GU's 23 points was its lowest scoring half since trailing WSU 28-17 on Dec. 5, 2007. The 17-point halftime deficit was the largest since the Bulldogs fell behind 60-26 at
—Gonzaga had no explanation for why it came out passively and without much fire.
"We've been practicing hard,"
"They're a good team, athletic, big. It's not that we didn't have it; we just didn't bring what we have. We didn't play hard enough. They played harder than us."
At one point in the second half, Calipari got in Evans' face after a sloppy possession: "You're acting like this is an AAU game," Calipari told his standout point guard.
Bouldin on
Goodson on the lopsided defeat: "It's always disappointing to play like that on such a big stage. We just came out sluggish and they got a big lead. We could never get it down to 10 or 8."
Few on
Downs on if the Tigers present different challenges than some of the other highly-rated teams GU has faced this season: "They are long and get in passing lanes, but we can't let that affect us. We've played teams like that, like
Dozier on
Gray on Gonzaga's ability to bounce back: "Last time something like this happened, we went on our little slide. That has to be in the back of our minds, trying not to repeat what we did earlier in the year. I think we're more prepared to bounce back and handle business getting back into conference."

How strong are charges against Haiti's Jean-Claude Duvalier? Very, say experts.
Former Haitian dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier (aka 'Baby Doc') was charged in court Tuesday with embezzlement, corruption, and misappropriation of funds. 'It's fairly easy to pursue legally,' says one expert.
Ramon Espinosa/AP
Port-au-Prince, Haiti; and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
During his 15 years in power, Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier is said to have brazenly robbed Haiti's treasury of hundreds of millions of dollars.
He is accused of going as far as stealing checks intended for the poor to help him amass hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign accounts that allowed him to live luxuriously while in exile.
But the same disregard for the law that made him a multimillionaire could make the case against him relatively easy to prosecute, observers tell the Monitor.
"He was fairly careful to hide the assets abroad, but he was not that careful to hide the way he acquired them," says Brian Concannon, a human rights lawyer and director of the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti (IJDH). "I am confident that this case can be prosecuted, it's fairly easy to pursue legally because it's been documented."
Dramatically detained and formally charged in court on Tuesday by Haitian authorities, just two days after unexpectedly returning from exile, Mr. Duvalier's future is now being weighed by a judge who will decide whether to pursue the accusations of embezzlement, corruption, and misappropriation of funds, among other alleged crimes. The process could take months.

noradrenergic activity and enhanced long-term memory, and Cahill et al. (1994) reported that propranolol blocked enhanced memory of an arousing story. However, it is important to note that evidence has shown that propranolol can block extinction of fear-related memories (Cain et al. 2004). Taken together, the above evidence suggests that at least a subgroup of people with PTSD has increased responsivity of the sympathetic nervous system that is most clearly evident when people are restressed (Southwick et al. 1995).
That cortisol concentrations are increased during stress and that the magnitude of stress response is associated with the magnitude of increases in cortisol led to the hypothesis that cortisol would be increased in PTSD. However, the first report, 20 years ago, of cortisol in PTSD yielded counterintuitive results: the mean 24-hour urinary excretion of cortisol was lower in patients with PTSD than in other psychiatric patients (Mason et al. 1986).
Ambiguity has persisted in the literature regarding the direction of any PTSD, associated change in cortisol concentrations as some investigators have reported increased urinary cortisol excretion in PTSD. Yehuda et al. (2002) noted that PTSD is associated with a dysregulation of the cortisol response rather than with a clear-cut directional response (cortisol that is "too low" or "too high"). Present evidence supports the hypothesis that pre-existing low cortisol is associated with increased risk of PTSD. Several recent studies have found that trauma victims who develop PTSD have lower initial cortisol responses to a traumatic event than do trauma victims who do not develop PTSD (McFarlane 1997; Resnick et al. 1997). In combat veterans with chronic PTSD, low plasma cortisol has been recorded throughout the day and night, especially in the early morning and late evening (Yehuda et al. 2002). Finally, in a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study, Schelling et al. (2001, 2006) assessed the effect of hydrocortisone administered during septic shock. Physiologically stressful doses of hydrocortisone did have a moderately protective effect against PTSD.
Receptor-binding studies have found higher numbers of glucocorticoid receptors in subjects with PTSD than in controls without PTSD (Yehuda 1997; Yehuda et al. 1995). As discussed in Chapter 4, an increased number of receptors would enhance sensitivity by providing more binding sites for cortisol. It is consistent with increased receptor number and sensitivity that subjects with PTSD hyperrrespond to administration of dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid that acts like cortisol (Yehuda 1997; Yehuda et al. 2004). Usually, when dexamethasone is administered to healthy people, it engages glucocorticoid receptors that serve as part of a negative feedback mechanism. When engaged, the receptors signal the hypothalamus and pituitary to decrease the release of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and corticotropin; this results in decreased stimulation of the adrenal gland and diminished release of endogenous cortisol. In several different populations of trauma survivors with PTSD, dexamethasone has had an exaggerated effect and endogenous cortisol release has been reduced to a greater degree than in healthy controls. The HPA-axis findings in PTSD differ markedly from findings in studies of major depressive disorder, in which cortisol tends to be increased, and the cortisol response to dexamethasone reduced.
Additional findings in subjects with PTSD include increased CRH in cerebrospinal fluid (Baker et al. 1997; Bremner et al. 1997), blunted corticotropin response to CRH infusion (Smith et al. 1989), and increased corticotropin response to metyrapone (Yehuda et al. 2004). Those findings are consistent with studies in primates that have experienced early-life stress (Coplan et al. 1996). Animal data on the effects of a nonpeptide CRH receptor-1 antagonist (antalarmin)

Browns sign OL Rashad Butler
The Cleveland Browns have signed free agent offensive lineman Rashad Butler to a one-year contract.
Butler spent the past six seasons with the Houston Texans. He was on injured reserve all of 2012 with a triceps injury, and he played in just two games in 2011 because of an elbow injury.
The 6-foot-4, 310-pounder has made 41 career starts in the NFL. In 2010, he played in all 16 games and made four starts at left tackle for the Texans.
A four-year letterman at Miami, Butler was drafted in the third round (No. 89 overall) by Carolina in 2006. The 30-year-old was waived by the Panthers in 2007 before he was claimed by Houston.
Butler should bring some depth to Cleveland's line.

All areas are kept VERY clean. Staff helpful and accommodating. Breakfast is adequate and relaxed. Room was spacious. Well connected to transport.
Could be better signposted, that's the worst I could come up with.
The double bed matress was super comfortable and carmen the host was very welcoming
it takes some time to find the location of the hotel. And it is really convenient to take the bus to the park.
The hotel charged 2 euro for every piece of luggage if you need to left them for a while.
Staff were lovely, bed was comfy, location was fantastic & great value for money
Shared bathrooms were fine (clean & looked after), but did mean had to wait a while to get a slot in the morning
Friendly staff: Carmen, Carlos, you are the best! Location: metro is 1 min away, major sights 20 min on foot, typical "modern village" with lots of small businesses and restaraunts nearby Price: 343 eur for 7 days, i say not bad for Barcelona in high season. Breakfast: well, that sure wasnt the best breakfast i've had in my life, but since included in price - nice. Building: normal, clean house and an adequate elevator.
Room: no mirrors, no table, no chair,no wardrobe, no sink, no fridge whatsoever, just a *large* bed and something you can call a rack base. Air-con: well, it worked ok, but was real loud, sometimes it was hard to tell whether the air-con or the street noise was louder. Bathrooms: all the bathrooms are shared, deal with it. One of WCs was tiny, I (100kg 1.8m male) could barely fit into it, the others were ok but waay far across the hall from our room nr 1.
very good value for money clean 3 tube stations from the Ramblas and centre of Barcelona good ratio of 3 shared bathrooms for 5 bedrooms good breakfast
on a noisy street air conditioning was poor unusual set up for an hotel, which takes time to get used to (first floor apartment)
Although it is not in the historical centre, it has a good location to reach the main points of Barcelona! Excellent breakfast and very nice and atentious staff. Clean and ample.
Aimabilite du personnel. Thanks to Carmen and Carlos... Sweet people
Nothing voir ameliorer le petit dej
The breakfast
Sometimes no hotwater. The drinking water is not served very often.
Great value in a decent location. Bigger rooms. Shared bathroom isn't a big deal, as there are 3 bathrooms.
This was perfect for a quick one night stop. Very clean rooms, comfortable beds and two large shower and wash rooms. All we needed for our very short stay.
- Three bathrooms - Good clean number, good bed - Friendly staff - Good breakfast - Good placement, close to the metro
- noisy
Friendly staff, excellent location, good breakfast, free wifi, free coffee all day :)
No elevator and a room quite noisy but this was not a problem for us.
It was a great place, near to the center of Barcelona, I would really recommend it. Rooms and bathrooms are clean, breakfast is included. It also offered free wifi, it's just fantastic!
We searched for many hotels in Barcelona near the main public transportation stations and somewhere where kids were welcomed. This hostel was beyond great, it felt as if we were visiting and staying with family. The couple that own it are very flexible on times checking in they made it possible for us to leave our luggage there until our room was availble at check in time so we could go and explore Barcelona. For their Catalan breakfast every morning it was great and met every family members appetite. It started to rain hard unexpectedly one afternoon and the owner was very quick and gratously offered us her umbrella to use for the evening. I never once felt uneasy or unwelcomed during our family stay. We will defiantly come back!!
Does not have a communal laundry room, but there is a laundrymat down the street.
the staff are nice and the rooms are pretty.
extremely noisy. i could stay there for the second day

Hi again,
I finally received (and read) your book. I'm comparing the code in the book and the latest which is published here. I understand this one is supposed to be better and refined but I'd like to ask some clarification nonetheless since some things don't add up to me.
1) the 1st thing I noticed is that get_cuckoo in the book's algorithm (hence BA) cuckoos make random walks around the best so far, whereas in the latest algorithm (LA) they move from their own current position. chapter 12.2 of the book seems to explain these 2 strategies, but I wonder if indeed random walks from the current solution (not even around the better locally as in PSO) don't make intensification too sparse?
2) the 2nd issue has to do with the empty_nest. As I understand the objective here is apply "selection of the fittest". In BA indeed the worst nests are selected as candidates for replacement (again with random walk this time around the current position). In LA it seems the concept of "worst nests" is lost and a kind of Differential Evolution approach is taken, where a nest is moved (random uniform) toward one of the other nest.
It seems to me that both approach are reasonable but they are rather different conceptually. I mean, in the principle of "survival of the fittest" shouldn't we have a selection (as in BA) of the worst nest as candidate for this mutation rather than all of them (provided rand<pa obviously). In other words, shouldn't we always pick the worst nest rather than in parallel all nests together?
Thanks a lot for any help.
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. Indeed I ordered your book as google's version wont allow full access. In this paper
they compare 3 algs for levy distribution and they say McCulloch's alg perform better than Mantegna's. Also, they provide a more complex Mantegna's implementation than yours (in matlab line 35-49)
35 invalpha = 1/alpha;
36 sigx = ((gamma(1+alpha)*sin(pi*alpha/2))/(gamma((1+alpha)/2)...
37 *alpha*2^((alpha-1)/2)))^invalpha;
38 v = sigx*randn(n,N)./abs(randn(n,N)).^invalpha;
39 kappa = (alpha*gamma((alpha+1)/(2*alpha)))/gamma(invalpha)...
40 *((alpha*gamma((alpha+1)/2))/(gamma(1+alpha)*sin(pi*alpha/2)))^invalpha;
41 p = [-17.7767 113.3855 -281.5879 337.5439 -193.5494 44.8754];
42 c = polyval(p, alpha);
43 w = ((kappa-1)*exp(-abs(v)/c)+1).*v;
44 if(n>1)
45 z = (1/n^invalpha)*sum(w);
46 else
47 z = w;
48 end
49 z = c^invalpha*z;
it seems your version is a simplified one that avoids step 39-49? BTW, all of my questioning is because I'm trying to port your alg in Java and I need to understand all the nuances of all tidbits. Thanks a lot for any help.
Hi there,
could you please clarify why you apply
(line 123), isn't stepsize already in levy distribution? Why the need to multiply for a gaussian?
Also, could you please explain what "the factor 0.01 comes from the fact that L/100 should the typical step size of walks/flights where L is the typical lenghtscale". Has it anything to do with the lower-upper bound limits of the problem? Thanks a lot.

If you look at those 2 users with phpmyadmin (users table in the mysql database), you will see that they have absolutely no privileges at all - so they can't do much.
I believe thay are designed for base mysql setup and often also install a "test" database - designed for people to mess with so you get used to mysql.
Just delete the test db's if you see them, the users really aren't a problem as they can't do anything except read - and no normal db's allow them as access.

Comcast Cable's plan: Witty self-flagellation
March 31, 2004
By Akweli Parker INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Comcast has a new message for customers frustrated by installers who are late or miss appointments and by rude customer-service representatives. In an ad campaign that began this week, the company is acknowledging its past customer-service fumbles and promising to do better - starting now. "We get it," said David N. Watson, Comcast Cable's executive vice president of sales, marketing and customer service, in an interview yesterday. "We recognize we have legacy issues as a service provider.

Comcast Cable will start to offer digital cable-television service - which has crisper pictures, more premium-movie channels, 40 pay-per-view channels, and 30 CD-quality music stations - in the Philadelphia area next month. The digital video service will be available through Comcast's cable systems in Philadelphia, Lower Merion and Willow Grove. The company said it will demonstrate the service today at Chestnut Hill's "Fall for the Arts Festival. " This is believed to be the first appearance of digital cable in this region and one of the earliest in the nation.
Why 1.2 million people want to work for Comcast

By Bob Fernandez, Inquirer Staff Writer
Comcast Corp. topped $100 billion in value on the stock market this month, a dazzling measure of its national economic reach. And here's another: 1.2 million people applied for jobs in 2012 at its three subsidiaries, Comcast Cable, NBCUniversal and Comcast-Spectacor: 4,650 per business day.

By Bob Fernandez, Inquirer Staff Writer
Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, already one of the nation's priciest regional sports networks, is seeking a subscriber surcharge on behalf of the wallet-busting, 25-year, $2.5 billion TV rights deal it negotiated with the Phillies in January. As part of the deal, at least 33 Phillies games will relocate from the over-the-air - and free - TV station WPHL17 to the cable sports network. Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia is asking pay-TV operators, including Comcast itself, to pay for those additional games on cable, according to multiple pay-TV operators who declined to be identified.

Yeadon's Show Will Go On, Cable Firm Says A Council Member Had Asked Comcast To Pull A Showing Of A Rancorous Meeting For Good Friday.

By Deborah Bolling, INQUIRER SUBURBAN STAFF
After a council member's request, the cable telecast of a meeting at which residents assailed the Borough Council with complaints and insults for nearly three hours was halted 10 minutes after it began showing Friday. In its place, a Phillies 1950s reunion, which had been shown just beforehand, was reshown. Comcast Cable, however, said the tape was not being censored and would be shown twice this week, to wider audiences than would have seen it otherwise. Borough Councilwoman Patricia Evans said that she requested that Comcast not show the council meeting due on Good Friday due to its "malicious" content.
Ex-rivals: They Both Could Hit
January 12, 1990
By Bernard Fernandez, Daily News Sports Writer
A nice touch to yesterday's George Foreman-Gerry Cooney press conference was the presence of Ron Lyle and Philadelphia's Jimmy Young, two of the fighters' three common opponents (the other is Ken Norton). Lyle, who was knocked out in four rounds by Foreman in 1976 and in one round by Cooney in 1980, said he remembers both men as devastating punchers. "George Foreman is probably a heavier puncher," Lyle said. "He's, you know, heavy-handed. When he punches you, it's like being hit with a club.

Jobs increased in September, but at disappointing rate
October 24, 2013
By Jane M. Von Bergen, Inquirer Staff Writer
William J.T. Strahan did not need the U.S. Department of Labor to tell him how September's job situation stacked up. Strahan, executive vice president for human resources for Comcast Cable, already knew the score based on his company's experience: "Overall, hiring is slightly up. " And so it was nationwide, according to the Department of Labor's belated September job report. The nation's payrolls expanded by 148,000 jobs in September; the unemployment rate dropped slightly to 7.2 percent, from 7.3 percent, according to the report, which was delayed because of the federal government's shutdown.
Comcast to launch TV links from Twitter feeds

Comcast Corp. is launching a feature on Twitter to allow its cable subscribers to access The Voice and other television shows from a tweet, Comcast announced Wednesday. In a system analogous to the buttons used by Facebook and other social media, a "See It" button will pop up during Twitter chats about TV shows.

Case on Comcast cable customers won't go away
October 5, 2013
By Bob Fernandez, Inquirer Staff Writer
In late March, the U.S. Supreme Court seemed to have plunged a stake into a long-running class-action lawsuit between Comcast Corp. and plaintiffs' attorneys who claimed the company abused its market power to hike cable bills on Philadelphia-area customers. The high court voted, 5-4, on ideological lines not to certify the case - forcing it back to a lower court. They said the financial damages for two million TV customers could not be fairly measured throughout the expansive Philadelphia region.
Bloomberg TV still wants into Comcast-cable 'neighborhood'
June 28, 2013
Bloomberg L.P. told the Federal Communications Commission in a letter that Comcast Corp. has failed to comply with one of the merger conditions for its deal to acquire control of NBCUniversal after more than two years. Comcast agreed to "neighborhood" the business channel Bloomberg TV on its cable systems so that it could compete directly with Comcast-owned CNBC, Bloomberg says. But the cable giant has yet to neighborhood - or place Bloomberg TV and CNBC near each other on the Comcast channel lineup - for millions of subscribers, Bloomberg said.

Here in Connecticut we have had a glimpse of the types of storms that normally we just read about. Floods, high winds, downed power lines, electricity in entire cities out for over a week and more. Rivers overflowing their banks for the first time in decades.
Overwhelming. Just as infertility and treatment can be. Unpredictable. Just as the dips and turns in fertility treatment can be. Frightening. Just as hearing an upsetting diagnosis can be. And no way of really controlling what's going on, either outside with the stormy weather or in the midst of fertility treatment. Sometimes, even with the best infertility protocols and management, your retrieval will come earlier or later than you think or expect. Sometimes a fertility cycle will more move slowly or more quickly than is typical and you are taken by surprise about when you need to take time off from work. Out of control feels just that; out of control.
And unpredictable is just that as well. Unpredictable means being unable to plan, to schedule, even to commit to anything. The more patients that I listen to, the more I hear and remember how difficult this piece of fertility treatment is. Just the simple act of not being able to make a date with friends to go out, to the more complicated issues around planning a vacation become more and more challenging.
Disappointment is a big factor here as well. When we expect one thing, to find out that something different is happening, how do we see it? Is it possible to see an extended cycle as an opportunity? Possible to see any disappointment as an opportunity? At our best, yes, I think so, I hope so, and I definitely strive to make it so.
Then add in these factors; not sleeping enough; eating choices that are less than healthy; having few releases for the anxiety that is building, and I believe that disappointment will win and the opportunity will not be seen.
Thank goodness for those good moments, that heartwarming news, those hopeful feelings; they help counterbalance all of the above. If the weather is stormy now, well, it's supposed to be a beautiful weekend. The flowers are flowering, the earth is brightening, and the storms are feeding the earth. Sleeping, eating and creating ways to release tension are all ways of keeping the disappointment in perspective. Letting the unpredictable come and go and realize the ebb and flow are just part of the rhythm of life, in or out of fertility treatment.
No question that it's challenging. And we're right here with you so that you don't have to go through it alone.

Chicken breasts, one the most popular things to grill, should also be one of the easiest. But many people overcook or undercook them.
Greg Reyner, chef-owner of Cafe Muse in Royal Oak, Mich., recently told me that he's been using chicken thighs in more dishes.
"The fat content is a little higher, but it's not as temperamental as the breast," Reyner said. "The thigh is more forgiving and a lot more flavorful."
I agree with Reyner that chicken thighs are an easy, tasty alternative, despite some confusion about their fat content, which seems to vary quite a lot.
The Perdue brand lists a 3-ounce roasted chicken thigh without bone and skin as having 180 calories and 6 grams of fat. A U.S. Department of Agriculture listing says that a 3.5-ounce cooked boneless, skinless chicken thigh has 177 calories and 9 grams of fat and that about 4.6 ounces of cooked skin-on thigh meat has 346 calories and 22 grams of fat.
This Chicken Thighs With Apricot Glaze recipe is a great dish to whip up at the last moment for unexpected guests.
It calls for bone-in, skin-on thighs, but you can substitute boneless, skinless ones. They cost more but take less time to cook.
Grilling them with the skin on keeps them moist, but you can remove the skin before serving to save fat and calories. You can grill them without the skin, too; just make sure you baste them with the glaze to keep them from drying out.
The USDA recommends cooking thighs to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. The timing depends on the size of the thighs.
The glaze is made with apricot preserves, one of my pantry staples. The preserves are mixed and heated with minced jalapeno peppers and crushed red pepper flakes. The sweetness from the preserves balances the heat from the jalapenos.

This will always happen to any app that has no certificate.
Try installing them to phone memory, then the check won't always be made. Otherwise, you can turn of the certificate check in settings in Application manager.

Can you recommend a head set for non-tapered integrated head tube?

Chris King headsets are generally considered the best but pricey. Cane Creek for a middle-of-the-road and FSA as the low end. The two latter brands have some overlap with respect to quality. I would recommend Can Creek's 110 series for what you need. Make sure you fully understand what type of headset you need to fit your frame.

Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere
The official soundtrack for ABC's Nashville was released this week, and in case you haven't been keeping up with the series, we've put together a playlist to help you catch up before it returns in January.
"The music is as much a part of the narrative as the dialogue," according to creator Callie Khouri, whose husband, renowned producer T-Bone Burnett, is the series' musical director. (Check out ABC's accompanying On the Record web series for additional insights into the music from the actors and producers.)
And not to worry — though Nashville takes place in the titular country music capital of the world, its songs have mass appeal, even for...

Reba McEntire and Jai Rodriguez
Music is just about everywhere on TV these days — except in most shows' opening credits. The glory days of the TV title song may be long gone, but a few new series are keeping the theme alive.
Most notably, ABC's comedy Malibu Country boasts a traditional opening tune. When it came time to put the show's title credits together, it made perfect sense to ask star Reba McEntire to choose the song. McEntire — who also performed the opening theme to her last sitcom, Reba ("I'm a Survivor") — came back with "Goodbye Looks Good on Me," written by Kellys Collins, Juliana Cole and Jeff Smith.
Here are the titles and talent behind some of this fall's new TV opening themes.
Connie Britton
Will the stars of Nashville be singing the blues by the end of the season? The freshman drama's critical acclaim and decent bump with time-shifted viewing was good enough for ABC to reward it with a full-season pickup, but inside the network, executives are wondering: Why aren't viewers watching? And what can be done to save the show beyond this season?

Though the TV season is already a few weeks old, tonight counts as one of the biggest rollouts of fall, with three high-profile premieres on three networks, including my favorite pilot of an admittedly anemic batch.Even in a better season, ABC's Nashville (10/9c) would stand out, making beautiful music and juicy drama with its sensationally entertaining medley of backstage rivalries, family and political shenanigans, and enough sexy-sudsy twists to transform Music City into Sin City. Can you enjoy Nashville if country music isn't your thing?

Nashville, the city, and Nashville, the country music industry, are expecting big things from Nashville, the new fall drama from ABC. The serialized drama, which stars Connie Britton as an country singer juggling her home life and struggling to remain a relevant artist, might not have made it on the air a few years ago.
But just as country music is moving toward the mainstream, the mainstream is gravitating toward country music — and TV execs, hungry for audiences, are eager to tap into country's loyal fan base. "We know from our proprietary research that about 96 million Americans qualify as country music fans, based on their listening habits and purchase behavior," says Country Music Association marketing director Cory Chapman. "That leads to a big opportunity for a network to go after that audience."

Jeff Bridges is finally getting the recognition many deem long overdue. And he's seen as the favorite in the Academy Award best-actor race for his work in Crazy Heart. So what's he thinking about? Music.

Too much democracy? Time for 21st century democracy. – An introduction by Martin Smith and Dave Richards to some of the themes of their book Institutional Crisis in 21st Century Britain, which I'm working through at the moment.
Yesterday's Guardian had a very interesting interview with Arnie Graf, a veteran community organiser from Chicago who Ed Miliband brought in to advise on how to change the way the Labour Party works to make it more effective. Graf produced a report with various recommendations on how to improve the way the party works, but his recommendations appear to have stalled somewhere in the party machinery – which is perhaps not surprising, given how critical he is of it. This perspective on it from Mark Ferguson at Labour List is an introduction to the way some Labour people see it.
Now it would be easy to write a post here about what this shows us about the Labour party, but reading about Graf's suggestions in the Guardian piece, I found that they resonated with my experience of the Liberal Democrats (and I suspect other people in other parties may find the same too). We obviously don't have the full report, but there are four principal ideas expressed in the article that we would do well to consider in the light of our own experience:
First, there was a need to deal with what Graf describes as the party's "bureaucratic rather than a relational culture". A new member coming into their first meeting should expect more than bureaucracy and hierarchy. They should be welcomed into a group that offered trusted, working relationships and interesting political discussions.
Second, the party had to stop treating members as drones rather than leaders. Many of the party members Graf visited in the regions seemed to think that if there were genuine leaders in the party, they were all in London. Most orders came from the capital. It was in London that the leaflets were designed, the timetables set and the marching orders given.
Thirdly, the party was too closed: Labour gatherings were often suspicious of outsiders, particularly people who were Labour sympathisers but not prepared to be members. It seemed hard for newcomers to break in.
Finally, the party offered little inspiration to its members. Graf blew open a complacent consensus that branch meetings had to be boring. He could see that they could offer more, and dared them to be so: "We grow up and get meaning from relationships … politics should provide that."
While the structure and culture of the two parties is different, I think there's something in all four of those points that Liberal Democrats should consider. We all want to get more people involved in the party, but what can we offer them to get them there? A chance to sit in a draughty room discussing the minutes of the next meeting, before being given a bunch of leaflets to deliver? If someone was interested in the party and wanted to find out more about what we do, would they feel welcomed at a meeting? More to the point, would we actually be able to offer them anything interesting to do? (And no, for most people delivering leaflets is not interesting)
The problem we face is that as a party, in many cases we've come to see campaigning as an end in itself. (See for instance this LDV article, where getting people out to campaign for PCC elections is seen as an unambiguously good thing, but it's a common theme) It's where Liberator's description of the party as a 'leaflet delivery cult' comes from, which is true despite the fact that no one I've ever encountered in any party got into politics because they really love delivering leaflets.
The problem all parties have is that a lot of our ideas about how politics work in Britain are based on parties with mass membership and strong links into the local community. It's not just about delivering leaflets, but knowing the people around you and what they think to feed that into the process. Somewhere along the line, we've lost that, and we've lost that wider engagement which has led to all parties becoming odd clubs where the like minded spend time together. While party membership was never quite as common here as registering as Democrat or Republican is in the US, it was a lot more common. (As an aside, how much did party membership cost in the 50s and 60s before the decline started?)
If we're going to survive and thrive as a party – especially in a post-coalition world – then we have to start questioning how we're going to do it, and why we're doing it in the first place. Even if it's bogged down in bureaucracy, Graf's work shows that Labour are properly thinking about this problem, and we should be too.
Hopi Sen has written an interesting blog post on how Labour adopting the policies desired by some of their lost voters would be a disaster for the country.
I was thinking about this issue at the weekend, after reading on the SNP voting to change their policy on whether an independent Scotland being a member of NATO. This was because regular polling showed that a majority of Scots want to remain in NATO, so the SNP's anti-NATO policy was seen as a hindrance to the independence campaign. Leaving aside the implied assumption that the policies of a post-independence Scotland would be those of the SNP, it got me thinking on similar lines to Hopi – why is the prevailing political mood one of pandering to the electorate, rather than trying to persuade them to change their views?
The SNP's policy shifting wasn't an isolated incident. It's common for just about all parties now to determine their polices on where the voters are, thus giving us a mad rush to the centre ground, rather than developing policies in line with principles and ideologies and then attempting to persuade the voters to come to them. I don't think there was ever some golden age where politics was purely concerned with the latter – Roman politicians were often concerned with just what the populace would accept, for instance – but I'm sure the practice of politics was never quite as cynical as it is now. As I wrote a few months ago, so much of modern politics has become a big game for the participants where the important factors are winning and losing power, not what you do with that power when you get hold of it.
When the game is all that's important, you no longer care about trying to shift the Overton window in your direction. Instead of setting out your stall and trying to convince people to come to you, you chase after them, happily shedding whatever bits of you they show any aversion to. But just because politicians have stopped trying to influence how people think, it doesn't mean others have. The void is filled by unaccountable media organisations and shadily-funded pressure groups, gradually drawing opinions towards their favoured position, and all the time the politicos happily follow, led by the polls that tell them what to drop and what to adopt. Going back to Hopi's post, there's rarely any attempt to challenge these beliefs, no matter how impractical and unworkable they may be.
Some of my Liberal Democrat colleagues reading this might be feeling smug at this point, and imagining that what I'm saying doesn't apply to us. Sorry folks, we've become just as bad. Maybe not quite to the extent that Richard Reeves and others have decreed as the future path for the party as a centre-right pandering machine, but I see far too many statements on the lines of 'this policy is good, but are we sure people will like it?' and I still smart from the last time Conference debated faith schools where several people pushed a 'don't do what's right, do what won't offend the Daily Mail' line.
If we're too scared to make the case for liberal policies, who will?
What I want to see is us taking the bold approach. Rather than joining the mass dash towards the centre, let's properly make the case for liberalism and persuade people of its merits and how it would benefit them. There's a growing number of people who don't vote because politics doesn't speak to them and engage them, and we do nothing to bring them back to the polling stations if we join the others in mindless pandering. It's not a disaster if someone disagrees with you, it's a sign of a healthy democratic process where people have different opinions and there's some distance between them. There's no shame in debating and arguing what's the best way forward, in saying 'this is my truth, tell me yours'. We should be prepared to stand up and push for radical and different policies, in an attempt to shift the perception of what's possible. Arguing for what we think is right isn't something we should shy away from.
Though it is a comment, from a Lib Dem Voice thread on Conference accreditation:
It sometimes strikes me that some people see winning elections as an end in itself, without giving very much thought about why you are trying to win them or what you should do when you have. And paradoxically, it's that kind of attitude that has paved the way for electoral disaster.

The left lane remains closed on southbound Hwy. 169 at 49th Avenue, and the result is a traffic jam that extends back to 77th Avenue in Brooklyn Park. That is now a good 20 to 25 minutes to get past there.
It is just as bad on westbound 694 where delays now begin at Silver Lake Road. It's 20 to 25 minutes to get over to Hwy. 100 where all lanes are open. Eastbound drivers are enjoying the wide open lanes, but expect closures to being there this week.
A crash on southbound 35E at Little Canada Road is off to the right shoulder. The biggest hangups are ahead at Roselawn Avenue to 94.
Northwest metro drivers on eastbound 94, southbound Hwy. 252 and westbound Hwy. 610 are also experiencing slower than normal conditions.
