When the final buzzer sounds Wednesday night at Thompson-Boling Arena, somewhere near 11 o'clock, the news will not be good for the thousands of Tennessee fans in the building -- regardless of what outcome their Volunteers produce against Memphis.
That will be the last they see of their coach, Bruce Pearl, for more than a month.
He will work one game in the interim, a non-conference road trip to Connecticut. He'll sit out the other eight the Volunteers are scheduled to play while serving a Southeastern Conference suspension that covers the first half of their league schedule.
The players still will encounter Pearl on a daily basis. He'll coach the team essentially up until 2 hours before each game, at which point the terms of his suspension mandate he vacate the premises.
Thus, the scene when the Vols open SEC play Saturday at Arkansas will be unlike anything we've seen in recent college basketball.
Indeed, it was only a couple of weeks back Michigan State coach Tom Izzo sat out a game against Prairie View, but that was a one-game suspension on a trumped-up charge, and it was a game against Prairie View. The Spartans likely could have won without their starting five. This is the start of a month's worth of absences against conference opponents UT has mostly subdued while Pearl's been in charge. Think they don't smell an opportunity?
And well they should, because Tennessee hasn't been worth a darn for nearly a month even with Pearl, one of the nation's most skilled and accomplished coaches, sitting on the bench.
Honestly, the collapse of the Vols since their overwhelming victory over Pitt has been even more shocking than the late-summer revelation that Pearl had admitted giving false information to NCAA investigators.
As the Vols have plunged from 7-0 to 9-4, their indiscipline on offense has been stupefying. The team that attempted only 11 3-point shots—and made seven—in the win over Pitt hasn't taken fewer than 14 nor made more than five in the past six games. They shot .245 from long distance in that stretch. The majority of those games were against teams with vastly inferior frontcourts, but the Vols were too indifferent to make an issue of that.
They weren't much better at the other end.
"We can guard," wing Cameron Tatum told reporters after the Pitt game. "If we continue to do that, we can beat anybody in the country."
Opponents since are shooting nearly 44 percent, so now we see what happens if the Volunteers don't continue to do that.
And we'll see what happens this week when they don't have their coach.
Game to watch: Cleveland State at Butler, Friday at 7 p.m. ET (ESPNU). Although CSU surged through the early part of its schedule with 15 victories in 16 games—including victories over solid mid-majors Iona, Kent State, Akron—those in the media who waste their time and energy voting in the AP poll accorded the Vikings just a single poll point. That means one voter placed them 25th last week. So what if they win at Butler?
Matchup to watch: Kentucky's Terrence Jones vs. Georgia's Trey Thompkins, Saturday at 4 p.m. (ESPN3). Although both players are skilled away from the basket and tenacious beneath it, there really are few similarities between the two. Jones is a lean, dynamic, fast-twitch model of the modern hybrid forward. Thompkins is thickly muscled and can use his bulk to great effect near the goal. How often they intersect will be up to the coaches, but watching them share the court in Athens will be a treat.
Rivalry to watch: Xavier at Cincinnati, Thursday at 7 p.m. (ESPN2). Since the previous UC president dismantled the basketball program and hired Mick Cronin to build something from the wreckage, much of the juice was drained from this rivalry. What can restore it? How about Xavier's having a chance to knock that 14-0 smirk off the face of the Bearcats' dwindling supply of loyal fans?
Hidden game to watch: Drexel at VCU, Wednesday at 7 p.m. (Comcast Sports Network). Drexel won at Louisville, and VCU beat UCLA on a neutral court. Combined their record is 18-6. And when we get to March, people will be asking: Where'd these guys come from?

Solar Glossary
Listed below are definitions to common solar terms:
Alternating current (AC) is the kind of electrical current commonly used to power all your household items, available from plug outlets in your wall. Alternating current is the most efficient transmission of energy. Its most common form is a sine wave, meaning a very "smooth" wave. Other forms of alternating current are triangular and square waves. The magnitude of alternating current varies in a cyclical form.
Array is a set of photovoltaic panels. A home solar electric system might include several arrays on different parts of the roof.
Current is the flow rate of charges through a wire. Current is measured in amperes, and is sometimes called amperage.
Direct Current (DC) is a type of low voltage electrical current. DC electricity is produced by solar cells and must be converted into AC before it's usable in a house. Electricity is the movement of electrons in a current.
Grid is a system of high tension cables in a region that distributes electricity to homes, commercial solarbusinesses, and other buildings.
Grid tied/Grid connected is a solar system that is connected to the power grid and uses the grid as a backup source of power.
Inverter is the electrical device that converts direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity.
Kilowatt is one thousand watts.
Kilowatt-hour (kWh) is 1,000 thousand watts acting over a period of one hour. A kWh is the unit of energy.
Megawatt is one million watts.
Net metering refers to the amount of electricity you are billed for by your utility company after you use all of the electricity you generate with your solar system. If you need additional power after you use the electric power your system generates, you will draw that electric power from the grid and be billed for the usage. If you don't need all of the power you generate and you are feeding the grid electricity, this will appear on your bill as a credit – spinning your utility meter backward. At the end of the year, you will be net billed and in some cases may receive a credit if you've produced more energy than you have used. For more information on net metering, incentives, grants, and SRECs, click here.
Photovoltaic is the process of converting light into electricity.
Solar Cells are the basic building blocks of a photovoltaic system.
SREC stands for Solar Renewable Energy Credit. For details click HERE.
A watt is a measure of power x current.

Will Ford will be the top selling brand in 2013, lets wait and see.
i love how dummies come on here saying crap like oh look at the amount of fleet sales ? who really gives a $hit ! the fact of the matter is, its selling is it not ? theres a reason these companies are buying the vehichles or leasing them ! cuz their reliable fuel efficient and safe , bottom line so quit with the stupid comments which really only make you look moronic and jealous and give credit where credit is due simply put , ford is building better vehichles than they ever have and people and companies see this and the outcome is mentioned above so because you fancy GM ,toyota or honda, VW, chrysler or nissan, kia , hyundia or audi ,bmw ,mercedes or subaru ,mazda ,volvo,jaguar the list goes on ford is (''_OUTSELLING_'') all the other automakers so suck it up ford haters and buy a ford :)
Nice post, I think they needed Ford more than realized.
I think Mazdas problem is that no one really gets the Skyactiv technology other than car enthusiasts, and that most of their cars are in the middle of updates. Once the new 6 comes out, and the Mazda 3 is updated, they should improve
All this tells me is that people are so stupid for continuing to buy the POS Corolla.
Good predictions, as for Mazda, I think they needed Ford more than realized.
Chrysler would've been more successful if it debuted as a chrysler. Chrysler's own brand is the only one they left of value, and they should make it a huyndai like extended range. Dodge should just be for rams, &RWD, -the Dart fails not because it's a Dart, but because it's a dodge.
Mazda: real shame, because their cars are great. Wish they bought SAAB and they could've dobuled down sales by selling pricers rebadged based saabs.
Chevy: sales decline of Chevy doesn't surprise me, if they don't get a new design cue soon they'll still loose sales. THe current design language is hurting them big time.
Solely based on reviews it seems Dart should be well down the list. Besides the "likeability" factors, quality is likely to be lower than the leaders by enough to matter.
Mazda has slipped because, even though the press loves the new visual language, the design has not been well received publicly. They are awkward looking cars that don't look good while sitting in gridlock traffic, and don't posses the smart Germanic style that they used to. I suspect that the new 6 will remain a niche player. The Miata is still a hot little rocket, but it's at the end of it's shelf life. On top of that, The "Skyactiv" technology has been poorly communicated, and most people have no idea what it means. It's way too vague, and Mazda spends a lot of their ad $ attempting to communicate this at the expense of other virtues that could be more effectively communicated.
Mazda is selling every CX-5 and new Mazda6 they can get here. The sales drop in the 3 and 2 can be contributed to they are both due for updates. The decrease in Mazda6 sales is solely due to the introduction of the new model. Once prodcution catches up you should see gains. The Mazda3 is the next one to be updated. The MX-5 is also due to be updated, but it is still the best selling small Japanese convertible rear wheel drive sports car... Mazda's biggest poblem right now is production compacity.
Here's to hoping the new Mazda 6 gets to lots soon and improves the situation for them. I don't understand why people don't buy more Mazdas.
No matter which brand does well, Toyota will always be the brand you should buy.
No other car is more dependable.
Interesting. VW had its best February since 1974, no mention. VW also in its 30th consecutive month of growth, no mention. VW up 35% over last year, no mention. VW achieves 2015 sales goals 2 years early, no mention. In fact, no mention at all of the world's 3rd largest car company, which continues to outsell Ford globally.
But hey, can't wait for that Dart liftoff!
Put up or shut up when it comes to fleet sales, minus profitable corporate sales which are hotly contested - truth be told...
not like Toyota with their own rental counters!
My biggest surprise is the Dart. They advertise the crap out of that thing... The commercials had me sold. I was like screw driving it...
I learned that:
1. Camry will continue to dominate the car market for the forseeable future. In February, the slowest, toughest sales month in the car business, Camry still sold over 30k, about 5k more than the "competition", and expanded it's lead over the rest, while keeping incentives and fleet sales under control.
Camry truly is "The People's Champion"
2. Camry Hybrid outsells Fusion Hybrid......again. And Prius V has caught the C-Max Hybrid, as the Ford starts to slow down in demand. Sales of the two are within 200 cars this year. People are starting to see the new Ford Hybrid system isn't what Ford claimed it would be. I'm tired of being right all the time!
3. Ford is the top-selling brand because 30% of their business is under-the-table fleet dept sales. Retail sales, to actual people, Toyota still rules. Being a great retail brand and being a great fleet seller are two very different things.....
You're welcome Ford.....
@block Exactly. Do I buy a Honda Civic or a Dodge Dart? Pretty much a no-brainer.
@Sam M i'd take a new ford car or truck over a toyota anyday of the week as there better looking and safer plus their more reliable vehichles that wont be recalled in a year or so for something thats gonna break or cause loss of life because their trying to hard to lead and are building crappy vehichles
@Sam M Actually, overall Consumer Reports now has Subaru as the most reliable brand. Can we agree that if you buy Toyota, Honda or Subaru you will probably have a happy relationship with your car?
@Sam M Yawn, like my refrigerator. The danger is killing yourself while falling asleep from driving it.
@Sam M or more boring. Actually the car that cost me more out of pocket for repairs than any other I've owned (except a Jaguar) was a 1992 Toyota Camry that I bought new.
. . . As long as you don't count the recalls.
@Sam M No matter which poster posts, Sam H will always be a tool. Thanks for your post that offered nothing.
@adamlink You have a good point there. VW/Audi is doing a GREAT job.
@adamlink Unless I am looking at wrong numbers:
The best-selling European-branded car was the 26th-place Volkswagen Jetta at 11,968 (February)
Volkswagen is up 5%% to 60,474 (YTD)
@DRII Yeah, Hertz etc should just do the leases for Toyota!
@BlackDynamiteOnline I do consider myself one of the people and the Camry is not my champion. As already stated, there are several rental companies exclusively renting toyotas.
If you take away fleet sales away from the Camry "The People's Champion" The Accord is the number 1 retail car in America. You always mention Ford about huge fleet sales(which is true) but you always forget to tell people about Camrys 15-20% fleet sales. So it's more like the "the people's chump" Learn your facts First then speak
@BlackDynamiteOnline Lol u r ridiculous. It doesn't matter what the ford doing... they are selling more. Period. And you missed one pretty important fact ... Toyota is the world's ugliest set of cars. They are like assholes... people drive but don't want to look at them. U wouldn't even know which car belongs to you in the lot... And u must be driving one very similar lol. FORD RULES. Period from trucks to performance...
@acadianbob @Sam M or fall asleep while looking at it. The most boring designed cars on the road.
Yes, thank you for pointing that out. The Jetta is the best selling European import in the U.S., and has been since the early 90's.
VW sales were up 35% last year. If they're up another 5% so far this year, even better.
My point is, it's kind of ridiculous to rave about Ford but ignore the company that outsells Ford globally.
He also forgot that Toyota recalls 3 cars for every 1 it sells . . .
@COBRA-#002: Of the 22 cars I've owned since 1964, almost half have been Fords. I really like them. I guess my only disappointment with the Fusion is that no V6 is offered...the rest of the car is great. I know a number of people, though, who insist on a V6 (since V8s are only available with Chrysler sedans), so they will buy Camrys, Altimas, and Accords. For some people, having 260+ hp, in a non-turbo engine, is important. Of course, the Taurus is also available in non-turbo as a V6, and I consider that mid-sized since it's smaller than Ford's previous mid-sized, so that is an option, too. Having had 3 Mustangs, I think Ford will take the number one spot again in the ponycar race once the new IRS Mustang and new Camaro compete.
@adamlink VW is so unreliable its not even funny as i have two friends who own them one a jetta and the other a passat and their so pissed off at the continuos problems with so many different things from a wiper blade that actually flew off while driving to a new set of front brakes 8 months new and for what ? their ugly cars and they break down to often and cost a pile of $ to fix ! no brainer buy a ford over VW anyday of the week !
@adamlink There is absolutely nothing ridiculous about ignoring #26. US market is different from the rest of the world. Your #26 does not even have any direct competition from Europe. So they dropped the prices on Jetta and Passat and the sales went up. You don't need PhD in economics to figure it out. Unless you're VW employee there is nothing to get exited about.

*Do you have having to keep looking at the cards? How about referring always to the rulebook? Check this out.
The Great Khan is dead, plunging the world of Eretsu into total war. The Khan's heirs fight amongst themselves for control of his shattered Dominion as the Durani Empire mobilizes to regain lost lands and honor. Their most fearsome weapon are Golems, arcane war machines created and mastered by powerful sorcerers.
As the world of Eretsu descends into chaos, now it's your turn to take command of a Golem army and fight for honor, glory, or riches.
Golem Arcana is a digitally enhanced miniatures boardgame that leverages the power of a smartphone or tablet to deliver an unprecedented and engaging experience. GA offers the richness and tactical depth of other miniatures boardgames without any of the hassles; the free Golem Arcana app handles all the rules and record keeping, freeing up the players to concentrate on devising strategies and having fun.
Golem Arcana is point-based army building game. Each player fields an army consisting of Golems, Knights (sorcerors who "pilot" the Golems) and Ancient Ones (powerful gods that might intervene on the army's behalf), and Relics (powerful magical artifacts that can be carried and deployed by Golems). Golems are represented on the game board with pre-painted figures, while Relics are depicted on game cards. Knights and Ancient Ones are digital characters obtained within the Golem Arcana app.
Each unit has special powers and capabilities. The key to victory is figuring out how to best combine these abilities to unleash havoc on the enemy.
The magic of the Bluetooth-powered Tabletop Digital Interface (TDI) Stylus keeps the Golem Arcana App connected to the action on the gameboard. Players move their Golems and launch attacks by tapping the appropriate game pieces with the Stylus.
To Move:
To Launch an Attack:
The Golem Arcana App regularly downloads new scenarios, unveiling new chapters in the saga of Eretsu and keeping the game fresh. Players can also use the app to purchase new Knights and Ancient Ones, giving them the opportunity to constantly evolve their strategies.
The TDI stylus uses a tiny infrared camera to read microcodes which are invisibly printed over the top of the icons and values of the figure's bases and over the terrain art of the board's regions. The TDI transmits the microcodes it reads to the Golem Arcana app (running on your smartphone or tablet) via Bluetooth 4 LE (Low Energy). For a list of known Bluetooth 4 LowEnergy devices click here.
The Golem Arcana app streamlines gameplay by acting as a sort of referee. It remembers and adjudicates the rules and takes care of all the necessary bookkeeping. The app also delivers a few features that have never been possible in a board game before.
One of Golem Arcana's important design goals is to keep your focus on the figures and the tactical situation on the board, and not on your mobile device's screen. The device acts something like a scoreboard at a baseball game, presenting the information you need, when you need it.
Getting Started
Start your journey with the Base Game Set. Later you can add one or more of the available Expansion Sets for more army building options.
You can now pre-order your Golem Arcana items. Check it out here.

In particular, it seems the EC is worried about the future of MySQL. To date, some of Oracle's biggest competition has come from MySQL, which is one of the most popular database suites around the world. With millions of servers worldwide relying on MySQL, the EC is concerned about how Oracle will treat the software once it belongs to them. If they decide to intervene, it could result in a months-long setback, which will likely result in further harm to Sun.
At the beginning of this week, Sun disappointed investors with news that they suffered a $147 million loss for the quarter - they are surely eager to get themselves into Oracle's hands. Sun stock continues to fall, though the deal is currently on-schedule. It remains to be seen if the EC will initiate a probe into the deal.

The meaning "follow the trail of" (an animal, etc.) is first recorded late 14c. Related: Trailed; trailing.
early 14c., "trailing part of a robe, gown, etc.," from the source of trail (v.). The meaning "track or smell left by a person or animal" is also from 1580s. Meaning "path or track worn in wilderness" is attested from 1807.

Abu Sayyafs free businesswoman-A A +A
Wednesday, June 25, 2014
KIDNAPPERS believed to be Abu Sayyaf bandits have released in Zamboanga City a businesswoman they seized more than four months following a series of negotiations, an ex-government official said.
Former Basilan Vice-Governor Alrasheed Sakkalahul said businesswoman Sabrina Voon was released around noontime Wednesday at a wharf in the village of Baliwasan, west of the city.
Voon was seized by six gunmen clad in police uniforms who barged into her residence in the evening of February 19, 2014 in the village of Mercedes, east of this city.
Sakkalahul said Voon's release came after negotiations he facilitated between the families and the Basilan-based kidnappers upon the request of the family of the victim.
Sakkalahul said Voon's family sought his assistance after they learned that the victim was taken to Basilan province.
Voon, upon her release, boarded a tricycle and was met by her family along the highway in the village of Guiwan and headed home.
Sakkalahul however said he has no knowledge whether or not the family of Voon paid ransom in exchange for the release of the victim.
Earlier, the kidnappers have demanded P5 million in ransom in exchange for the victim's freedom. (Bong Garcia)

Weber Elementary School Reviews
If you choose Weber for your child, it helps to be rich. It's alsoa good choice if you want to have to teach your child more to catch them up to pace with their peers once they enter junior high. My older children went to different schools in the district and when my two youngest attended Weber it was very different money-wise. They are given enough money by the district to fund for the students on trips to places such as Lake Macbride yet they send kids home with requests slips for money in order to go on the trip. At other schools in the district, this trip is free. For holidays they have children bring home a slip that says if we want to give a gift to the teachers, we should think of donating money to the school instead. With all this money, they should spend it on things like expanding a new room for the before and after school program. There is a long list of students that need a place to stay every morning and afternoon before their parents can come pick them up. Some parents are on the list for all 6 years their children are in elementary school and never get in. Others that are already in have to pay the fee to keep their position even when their children withdraw or only go once a week. Instead of doing things that would benefit the students and parents, they go and build a new playground. Academically, compared to my older children, the students at Weber elementary study about 2-3 grades behind. They didn't reach long division at Weber when my son had reached it by the 5th grade. My youngest son came home and told us his new friend who transferred from a different school, told him that what they were learning here at Weber in the 4th grade, he had already learned in the 2nd grade. Now Weber is excellent for their extracurricular opportunities. I give them that, they have everything from Chess Club to Spanish Club but of course, unlike other schools, you have to pay a fee for your child to enjoy such groups. Over all, I would not recommend Weber Elementary to any parent moving into the area.

In this TTMIK lesson, we are looking at how to change a verb in its dictionary form into the basic present tense. In Korean, when you look up a verb in a dictionary, everything ends in the letter 다 [da], and you have to get rid of that in order to conjugate the verb. And after that, you add 아요, 어요, or 여요. Listen in to find out how to determine which one of these should follow the verb stem when you say something in the present tense. Be sure to pick up the FREE PDF, and also try making some sample sentences of your own. Video responses are welcome as well!
Click here to check out the page on 아/어/여 + 요 in Korean Wiki Project.
You can download a free PDF for this lesson here, or if you want to study with our TalkToMeInKorean textbooks, you can get them here. And after you learn the basics, try writing your own Korean sentences and get corrections from native speakers through HaruKorean, our 1:1 correction service.

The announcement of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 from Capcom was quite possibly one of the greatest mass internet nerd-gasms of all time. Fighting fans have been screaming for this game for a decade. License issues barred any hope of it ever happening (and actually got the PS2 and Xbox ports pulled after a brief production run), and the presumed death of 2D fighting games basically made it a fanboy pipe dream forevermore. Well, not anymore. 2D fighters are back in a big way, and Marvel's popularity has skyrocketed since the beginning of the nearly ten year franchise moratorium. Think about it. The last MvC title was released all the way back before the first Toby McGuire Spider-Man movie. A lot has changed since the Dreamcast's swan song. Marvel is now owned by Disney. 8-bit Mega Man is cool again. Yet a few things stay the same, like the fact that Hulk movies still suck, and fans eternally obsessing about who is and who isn't going to make the cut for what will undoubtedly be the most bitched-about fighting game roaster of all time. Marvel and Capcom both share an absurd wealth of classic franchise faces. Will they rely on familiar brand staples and fan favorites, or take a few risks with new or generally unknown cult characters? V.S. series regular Chun-Li is obviously in (her silhouette is on the teaser art), and the much welcomed new comic relief Deadpool made his debut at E3. What else is in the cards is unknown (Gambit plz), but here's a list of ten essentials that Capcom needs to make happen. #10: Blade Dating back to 1973, Blade's character (based loosely on a composite of various black actors, most specifically Jim Brown) came to life in Marvel Comics' The Tomb of Dracula #10. You could count the reasons Blade deserves to be in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 all day. He has a background in street fighting. He's a master swordsman and lethal with throwing knives, so he can counter an assault from Strider. He is a trained marksman who can compete with Chris Redfield's heavy artillery. Most importantly of all, he's a freaking vampire hunter. Blade versus any number of Darkstalkers (Morrigan & Felicia, already having been confirmed) is something worth the price of admission alone. To paraphrase Darth Vader, "It's time to increase the level of black representation on the committee.". Let's get captain flat-top in the game Capcom. Read More

Radar Love at the Public
Under the Radar Festival Returns for 10th Year
The stage lights are back on at the Public Theater's Under the Radar Festival, returning this year for its 10th edition in New York City.
Wednesday's opening night included Belgium theater company tg STAN's stark production of "JDX—a public enemy."
In the performance, the four-person ensemble reads Henrik Ibsen's 1882 play, "An Enemy of the People," in Dutch while English subtitles appear overhead.
"It's the closest show about fracking written in the 1800s that we'll get to," Mark Russell, one of the festival's co-directors, said. "This is a company that I've been trying to get here for more than 15 years. They're very well known and respected in Europe."
Frank Vercruyssen, a founding member of tg Stan, said the ensemble emphasizes the text above all else.
"A lot of people say we don't have costumes, we don't have light, we don't have sound. Well, we do, because we're not naked and there are lights and there is stuff happening. We don't have a conventional or realistic set up," Mr. Vercruyssen said.
Indeed, by Broadway standards, the production is rudimentary, using only a single circle of light, subtle costume changes and a man reading the original director's notes from behind a desk onstage.
Eliminating the fourth wall, the actors directly acknowledged the audience. They addressed people who arrived late or left early, and asked the audience to speak up if at any point they recited the lines too quickly.
"We don't want to put a movie on stage," Mr. Vercruyssen said. "One of the main advantages of theater is that it is live actors in front of a live audience."
Under the Radar Festival continues through Jan. 19 with more than 100 experimental theater performances at the Public Theater, La MaMa, Japan Society, the Freeman Space and St. Ann's Warehouse.
With subject matters ranging from family history to social criticism, audiences can take away something unique from each of the festival's 16 live shows.
Meiyin Wang, another of the festival's co-directors, said the art of storytelling ties the festival together, rather than any theme in aesthetics, subject matter or point of view. Ultimately, Mr. Russell said, they sought theatrical integrity when assembling the lineup.
"I'm looking for a certain truth, and of course, what is truth? How do you put that down? But for me, it's like, do I trust these people to give them an hour of my time and watch them onstage?" Mr. Russell said. "It's always about how they are reinventing the theater moment for now."

Depression comes to those who find their lives are out of their control. It comes to those who do not take responsibility for their own life, and those who blame others for what they consider unfair, or a wrongness. It is people who can't figure out what good and bad and right and wrong is, and people who don't know the difference between happiness and Joy. It is self-centered people who can't find a singular thing greater than themselves. It is people who are always hungry, but can't plant a seed....
It is people too afraid to open a door, where opportunity is constantly knocking. It is people who carry baggage heavier then their present circumstances, or what they can accomplish. It is people who have lost their ability to create, and yet are critical of the art created by others. It is myopic people who need self affirmations from others to feel good about themselves. And the others, too jealous or myopic or self absorbed themselves to give it back, become paralyzed with fear that they have little self worth, or value. Its cry-baby people who can't count their blessings, who ask of life without a thought of giving, or putting back. They are takers.
And then, they get on drugs that mask these very blatant faults found deep inside.
I have not been depressed since 1985. when Anthony (Tony) Robbins held a mirror in front of my face. And if I ever forget any of these methods, I will turn to any speech that Dr. Paul has written, or actually listen to him on UTube. These two men are my heroes, and beacons of Truth.

I've always thought it would be interesting to get the STDEV of the distribution of WPCT of teams across various leagues. In football and basketball, you're right, winning percents of .700 or even .800 are not uncommon for the best teams in the league, and conversely .300 down to .200 isn't that uncommon either, whereas it's an extraordinary year in baseball when even a single team is outside of .350-.650.
What's more interesting to me about that factoid is why that is. My hypothesis would be that a team's superiority or inferiority to another team is more "repeatable" in other sports (well, at least MLB/NHL vs NFL/NBA), in that a top-5 team in the league will beat a bottom-5 team in the league 9 times out of 10 in basketball (And probably 95 times out of 100 in football), whereas it's rare that a season series for two teams in the same division is more lopsided than 13-5 (72%-28%) either way. A basketball or football team is more likely, it seems, to have better talent win out over the course of a single game - whereas it takes a 162-game season in baseball for the cream to rise to the top.
I have to assume that's either due to (A) a significant talent disparity between the best and worst coaching of NFL/NBA teams, (B) more discrete events (possessions/plays) over which to measure a team's skill, © better achievement of parity in MLB (doubtful considering the STDEV of WPCT probably hasn't changed much from the game's early days), or (D) a narrower gap in MLB/NHL between the merely-average players at the major league level vs the stars, and a greater gap between average/stars in the NFL/NBA.
Maybe it's a discussion perhaps better suited to General Sports, but knowledge of that disparity (assuming it exists) probably should affect how one feels about season-long performance - i.e., there's a lot more noise in baseball's results, so don't take a game or two difference in the season as seriously, or something along those lines.

If California voters want to legalize it, Larry Robinson wants to tax it.
The Sebastopol councilman is asking his fellow city leaders to consider ways to tax marijuana sales if California voters approve a measure on the November ballot that would legalize pot.
The council is scheduled to discuss the idea at its meeting Tuesday night, joining a growing number of cities intrigued by the bottom-line benefits of taxing marijuana.
Robinson said he's not asking the council to take a stance on legalizing recreational use of cannabis. He just wants the city to position itself to move quickly if voters approve the November ballot measure, which would allow adults to possess and cultivate limited amounts of marijuana.
"It's just recognizing that there's a relatively good chance that this initiative will pass," Robinson said. "I just want the city of Sebastopol to be in the best possible position to both regulate and tax it."
Robinson is proposing to place a measure before Sebastopol voters in November that would authorize the city to tax marijuana sales. The council must vote on the concept by August to make the ballot.
Robinson said he envisions a 1 percent to 2 percent local tax on all marijuana sales, both on existing sales of medical marijuana and potential future sales of pot for recreational use.
Rich Maloney, who purchases medical marijuana at the only cannabis dispensary in Sebastopol, Peace in Medicine Healing Center, said he would be willing to pay more if pot was taxed by local government. The state already taxes sales of medical marijuana.
He credits cannabis for getting him off a host of narcotics that he began taking after breaking his leg in a motorcycle accident a year and a half ago.
Robert Jacob, executive director of Peace in Medicine, which soon plans to open another clinic in Sebastopol, said he also welcomes paying more taxes.

By Gijsbert-Paul Berk
In collaboration with the French Tennis Federation and the Louwman Museum at The Hague, the organizers of the 38th edition of the Rétromobile show in Paris – from 6 to 10 February 2013 – will pay tribute to the French World War I hero Roland Garros.
Among the many fascinating exhibits the visitors to Rétromobile 2013 will be able to admire are the Morane-Saunier type H plane – part of the Amicale Jean-Baptiste Salis collection – which was the first plane ever to cross the Mediterranean 100 years ago. In addition, the famous 5-litre 'Roland Garros' Bugatti or 'Black Bess', now in the Louwman Museum Collection will be part of the show. (See color photos of 'Black Bess'.)
This particular Bugatti has a wonderful history that spanned the English Channel and created legends in both France and England. We begin with Roland Garros, its first owner.
The Roland Garros Bugatti
The Rolland Garros Bugatti was first delivered on September 18,1913 as chassis number 474, to the French aviator Roland Garros who was a personal friend of Ettore Bugatti. It was the fourth of a series of seven chassis that Bugatti produced of this four-cylinder five-liter model (encoded by Bugatti historians as the Type 18). However, after the aviator purchased the car, the name "Roland Garros" would thereafter always associated with the model.
Roland Garros was already famous when he was introduced to Ettore Bugatti. Not, as many today think, because he was a French tennis champion; while he did play tennis in school, his fame came as a record-setting aviator. Rolland Garros, as we shall see, was quite an extraordinary person.
Roland Garros
Roland was born on October 6th, 1888 at Saint Denis on the isle of La Reunion, a French Territory just of the African east coast. His father, Georges Garros, moved his family to Saigon when Roland was four. At twelve young Roland was sent back to France to the Stanislas Collège in Paris. He became ill with pneumonia and was sent to a sister school in Cannes. In the mild Mediterranean climate he soon recovered and besides seriously studying, he trained to become an all-round sportsman. He finished his college education at the lyceum Janson-de-Sally in Paris, then applied and was accepted at the HEC, the renowned French Commercial High school.
Car enthusiast
After graduation from the HEC, he found a job with the car manufacturer Grégoire and participated in motor sport events. His father, who wanted him to become a lawyer like himself, cut off his allowance. Thanks to the financial help from the family of a fellow HEC student, Roland started "Roland Garros automobiles – voiturettes de sport" and became an agent for Grégoire, with a showroom and workshop near the Arc de Triomphe.
Discovering aviation
In 1909 Garros attended an air show near Reims. It was a revelation; Roland immediately decided that he wanted to be a pilot. With the money he had saved, he bought a small Demoiselle Santos-Damos. Accompanied by Edmond Audemars, who also owned a Demoiselle, they taught themselves to fly on a military exercise field at Issy-les-Moulineux, later to become known as the 'cradle' of French aviation.
American adventure
On July 19th, 1910 Garros earned his pilot's license (no. 147) from the Aero Club de France. American Hart O. Berg then engaged him and Audemars to take part in an aviation festival at Belmont Park, New York. There, Garros met John Moisant, a Canadian pilot, who asked him to join the Moisant Flying Circus. The plan was to travel with a bunch of young 'barn storming' pilots all over the U.S.A. and give exhibitions. It sounded like a dream come true. What a challenge and what better training could one wish for! Eventually the Moisant Circus not only went to a lot of places in the States, it even visited Mexico and Cuba.
Roland returned to France in May 1911, and as an experienced pilot entered in three important air races; the Paris-Madrid, the Paris-Rome and the Circuit Européen, an ambitious event covering a 1600 kilometers long route from Paris, Liege, Utrecht, Brussels, Roubaix, Calais, London and back to Paris.
On September 4th, 1911 Charles Voisin, brother and business partner of aircraft designer and manufacturer Gabriel Voisin, organized the First Altitude Record flight on the beach of Cancale. Garros broke all previous records by climbing with his machine up to 3,950 meters.
Raymond Saulnier with Leon and Robert Morane had founded Aéroplanes Morane-Saulnier, and they now approached Garros to be their test pilot. Roland took the Morane-Saunier Model H to Tunis and December 1912. Flying from Tunis back to toward Italy, he made an intermediate landing at Trapani (Sicily), but at the airport of Rome he was received by a huge and enthusiastic crowd, who gave him a tremendous applause; he was the first to fly solo from Africa to Europe.
First flight across the Mediterranean
One hundred years ago, on September 23rd, 1913 he taxied his Morane-Saunier on the marine airstrip at Fréjus in the south of France, and flew over the sea. After about one hour flight one of the nine cylinders of his engine failed, due to a broken valve spring. Fortunately the other eight cylinders kept going.
Garros decided to change his course and fly to Ajaccio on Corsica, and then over the isle of Sardinia, thereby prolonging his flight. Seven hours and fifty-three minutes after take-off, Garros landed safely at Bizerte on the northern coast of Tunisia. According to the legend, his plane had only 5 liters of petrol left in its tank. But he had accomplished what he intended to do: he was the first pilot who had flown straight across the Mediterranean Sea.
Technical adviser
At the start of World War I, Garros joined the French Armée de L'Air. As an officer in the Escadrille Morane-Saulnier MS26, he helped Raymond Saulnier develop and test an invention that would permit a machine gun to shoot through a turning propeller.
Roland was one of the first to use the synchronized machine-gun firing system in combat. Unfortunately in 1915 he was shot down during a mission over Germany and taken prisoner before he could set fire to his machine. The story goes that the Dutchman Anthony Fokker examined the wreckage of Garros's Morane-Saulnier before adopting a more or less similar solution on the Fokker M.5 single-seat planes.
Prisoner of War
In February 1918, after three years of being regularly transported from one POW camp to another, Garros managed to escape in the company of Lieutenant Anselme Marchal; both men were disguised by wearing stolen uniforms of German officers. After his escape, Roland stayed for some time in his apartment on the 3e floor at 7 rue Lalo in Paris to recover from his ordeal.
Death of Rolland Garros
Although his health was seriously affected by his long imprisonment, Garros insisted to return to active duty and rejoined his old squadron, now flying with Spad XIII fighter planes. SPA26 was part of the famous Escadrille des Cigognes (Stork Squadron) and stationed at La-Noblette-en-Champagne.
Tragically, on October 5th, 1918, just a month before the Armistice and on the eve of his 30th birthday, Roland was killed when his plane exploded in mid-air during a battle with a Fokker D.VII in the Ardennes above the borough of Saint Morel, near Vouziers where he was buried.
Roland Garros Tennis Stadium
The Roland-Garros stadium was built in just a few months to host the 1928 Davis Cup final, with France against the United States. To help with the realization of the project, the Stade Français (founded by a Rugby club) gave up 7.4 acres located very close to the Porte d'Auteuil. Emile Lesieur, then president of the club, set only one condition; that the new stadium would be named after Roland Garros, his much admired friend with whom he had studied at the HEC. Hence, the name of Roland Garros, who only played amateur tennis when he was young, is closely linked to the most prestigious of France's tennis courts and international tennis tournaments.

Does this technology take into account schoolchildren who just cross, irrespective of whether they have a green signal or not? I had the pleasure of having to sit while they crossed the road before, during and after the lights had changed and because cars couldn't move, the lights changed back to red meaning none of the waiting cars could drive on.
And, at the other end of the age scale, we have the impatient senior citizens who just launch themselves across the road whether the lights are with them, or not.
"We are looking at the cycle network from a cyclist's point of view, and seeing whether there's a way to allow them to cycle without stopping at lights,"
I see plenty of cyclists doing this already without the need for separate lights - they either just go through on red or decide that they're now a pedestrian and ride on the path.
If they want to be treated like other road users then they should be insured and abide by the rules and laws of the road.
A waste of all taxpayers money as I'm sure it won't be just cyclists paying for the extra sets of lights.
what plonker has decided to remove the green man across the road for pedestrians, once you walk into the road you have no idea of the state of the traffic lights
I have just returned to England after 5 years away and I don't know what to do at crossings. If I'm on the crossing, I can't see the 'man', if there's anyone else waiting to cross, I can't see the 'man' either. So I press the button and make my own judgement as to when it's safe to cross or not. I couldn't think of a more useless, pointless and potentially dangerous change - except perhaps swapping the colours. And I wouldn't put that past the idiots that decide these things.
It is surely time that computer intelligence was applied to traffic lights. In the Netherlands, lights are switched off at quiet times (normally overnight) without causing problems. However, they flash amber to let you know there is a junction and to take extra care.Fuel is saved because you do not have to stop to let non-existent traffic to cross in front of you. The pressure pads already in the road give the data needed on traffic density to trigger sensible operation.
Another idea found in parts of the Netherlands is the "groen golf" (green wave") where lights are synchronised. This is one of the most effective means of regulating vehicle speed, maximising fuel efficiency and reducing pollution in urban environments ever conceived. Current lights cause us to waste huge amounts of fuel and consequently, emit lots of extra CO2 because they all work independently of each other.
mikeo, it's been reported (see, for example, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/... ) that the UK DfT have historically been opposed to green wave schemes because the fuel savings would actually be significant enough to seriously reduce Treasury revenue...

Here is the final video for your dishcloth project: how to bind off.
Congrats! You've finished your first knitting project! Woohoo!
To recap, here's the whole dishcloth project:
Cast on 4 stitches.
Row 1: Knit.
Row 2: K2, YO, K to end of row. (5 stitches)
Repeat row 2, increasing one stitch in each row, until you have 42 stitches.
Row 3: K1, K2tog, YO, K2tog, knit to the end of the row. (41 stitches)
Repeat row 3, decreasing until you have 4 stitches on your needles.
Bind off. Weave in ends.
For our next project, we'll be knitting a fuzzy scarf on big needles with fun yarn. Grab a pair of size 17 needles, a skein of a plain acrylic yarn and a skein or two of a novelty yarn (watch the video to see what I'm talking about.)
Here are the other knitting tutorials:
Part 1 — talking about yarn, needles and casting on for a simple dishcloth
Part 2 — discussing increasing by yarning over (YO).
Part 3 — discussing decreasing by knitting two together (k2tog)

University of Leicester student Lauritta swaps law for music
Posted: May 24, 2014|
A law student from the University of Leicester is putting studying to one side to pursue her dream as a singer-songwriter.
Lauritta Nnamchi, 25, graduated from the university last year with a first-class degree in law and received several awards for best performing student in her year, but her attention is now focused on carving out a career in the music industry.
She has just released her first single, Altar Call, which has been digitally released on iTunes and forms part of her upcoming album called Free.
Lauritta, who has been offered the opportunity to progress straight on to a PhD because of her outstanding academic performance, said: "People might be curious as to why I'm looking to pursue this after performing so well in law, but my real passion lies in being a gospel singer-songwriter.
"I come from a strong Christian background and I'm greatly motivated by faith and experience.
"My music is for everyone – it is a means to teach, comfort, persuade, motivate and inspire."
Her dream is being supported by the university's Enterprise Inc scheme, which provides business funding and training to help develop the entrepreneurial and enterprising skills of students and graduates.
Lauritta said: "Start-ups require a vast amount of consulting advice from experienced professionals.
"The university and Enterprise Inc have been extremely supportive in this area, providing detailed advice on my business model and marketing dynamics.
"It's more than a business team that gives advice and support – it feels like a family. It's helped me with my ideas."
Rajinder Bhuhi, enterprise manager at the University of Leicester, said: "Through the Enterprise Inc programme we've been fortunate to work with some exceptional student entrepreneurs.
"Lauritta impressed us from day one – she has shown great determination, resilience and drive in the development of her business; attributes that are of key importance to employers in today's labour market.
"We wish her every success with her record and forthcoming album."
Lauritta was accepted on to the programme because she was identified as having genuine and credible business ideas and entrepreneurial skills. The university only endorses 10 students per year, making it all the more remarkable.
Altar Call can be purchased through iTunes.
