So here we are. The Grizzlies are down 3 games to 1 against the Los Angeles Clippers. The team fought so hard to get home court advantage in the playoffs. And what happened?
Game 1? Blew a massive lead with poor fourth quarter execution.
Game 3? Blew a not-so-massive lead with poor fourth quarter execution.
Game 4? Took the game into overtime, only to have Chris Paul take over the OT for the win.
While this is somewhat shocking to Grizz fans, it shouldn't be all that surprising. I mean, let's be real: The Clippers LOST home court advantage more than the Grizzlies actually WON it. The Clippers beat some really good teams during that "tougher" stretch of games in the regular season, including a five-game win streak with TWO victories over OKC. The Grizzlies scrapped out some wins against non-playoff teams, but again, let's be real: The Grizzlies, overall, were NOT playing better basketball than the Clippers in the run up to the playoffs.
This is not what any of us had in mind a few weeks ago. I was swimming in the Kool-Aid, almost putting some money down in Vegas, with the Grizz 30-1 odds to win the championship. For the record, I still think the Grizzlies have a championship-caliber squad. But they are NOT playing championship-caliber basketball right now in the first round. The question is: Why? What happened to derail the Grizz' momentum?
Gimmie Some Mo?
There's an old phrase, you've heard it: If it ain't broke, don't break it. And here is a harsh, nearly incomprehensible fact about our beloved and recently wobbly Grizzlies:
Marreese Speights should be starting at power forward. Zach Randolph should be coming off the bench.
I can't believe I just typed that. But it's true.
Technically, we shouldn't be learning this now, seeing as we learned it when Zach first returned to the bench. And yet, there's no disputing: The Grizzlies were on a fearsome tear when Mo lined up with Gasol while Zach was out. The dynamics of it are pretty simple:
Mo isn't the low post banger Zach is. He doesn't command as much attention. Meaning that the perimeter/pick & roll game that evolved in Z-Bo's absence became pretty effective — especially since Mo Speights is money from 15 feet. That's why he can (and does) score mostly in the first quarter, giving us a solid offensive boost from the opening tip. THEN, Coach Hollins had the luxury of bringing scorers like Zach & O.J. off the bench. That formula worked for most of the compacted season — until the team's first effort to return ZBo to the starting lineup.
Even though Zach rumbled for 25 points and 9 boards in his return against Toronto, the team lost that game — and three of the next four (including the L.A. Beatdown against the Clippers) — as Coach Hollins tried to figure out how best to ease Zach back into the lineup. NOTABLE: After the Clipper beatdown, Mo Speights returned to the starting lineup — and the Grizz put the beatdown on the Lakers, leading from wire-to-wire. Also NOTABLE: Even as a reserve, Zach had more minutes than Mo. The team went on another tear in April, closing out the season with a 15-4 record — including a 94-85 victory over these L.A. Clippers in which the Griz led comfortably from the first quarter to the final horn.
Zach returned to the starting lineup in the final game of the regular season, against Orlando — a game which the Grizzlies likely would have won anyway, given Dwight Howard was out for the season, and Stan Van Gundy played much of his bench. Zach has started at Power Forward all four of the Round 1 games against the Clippers.
With the Grizzlies once-palpable on-court chemistry now seemingly in full meltdown, I think the unspoken culprit is quite obvious: the team — the Coach — went away from the lineup that was working. And now, what we're witnessing — in all of the iso plays, the discombobulation, the disappearing Gasol — is the team trying to figure itself out. It's admirable, but they picked the absolute worst time to try to do it.
The next obvious question is this: Should they go back to it? Should Mo Speights be back in the starting lineup? Or would trying to go back only throw the team into further disarray? One thing is for sure: If the Grizz can't solve their issues in Game 5, the team will have all summer to wonder why they broke something that didn't need fixing.
Chris Paul is the Problem. Is Mike Conley The Answer?
"We're going to try to shut down Chris Paul a little bit. Simple. He's the problem, and we've got to solve the problem." — Lionel Hollins after Game 4
Chris Paul has dominated the series, particularly in the fourth quarter. One may legitimately wonder whether the Grizzlies have an answer for him, and they must — MUST — slow him down. But the longer this series goes, this much slips into focus:
The Clippers don't have an answer for Mike Conley either.
Compare their stats at NBA Stats Cube if you like. Of course, Paul's numbers are higher, but not by much. I'd say that's more a function of the fact that Chris Paul is more willing to take on the role of scorer than Conley is.
(Interesting stats: Chris Paul's scoring and plus/minus go up drastically when Mike is on the bench. In contrast, Conley seems to play better across the board when Chris Paul is in the game, and go down when Paul is sitting.)
But forget the stats for a second. I'm going on what I've seen, mostly in Game 4. Conley's quickness, his perimeter shooting, that blink-and-you-miss-it hesitation move that often precedes a drive into the lane for a layup . . . The Clippers defense couldn't keep up with him. Add in his reliability from the free throw line, and well . . . I'd have to say the main difference between Conley and Paul is Paul's killer instinct vs. Mike's instinct to defer to his more heralded teammates.
We've assumed that the Grizzlies "take over the game" player would be wearing No. 22, No. 50, or No. 33. And that may indeed be the case in future series, if the Grizzlies make it that far. But for this series? It's Mike Conley.
Conley (25 points, 7 assists, 8 boards in Game 4) has shown that he can go toe-to-toe with Chris Paul (27 points, 7 assists, 9 boards in Game 4). And I think for the team to succeed, Mike needs to be thinking "30 points/12 assists" offensively. Even if he doesn't hit those numbers, if he's willing to play to that level, it'll unlock the game for the rest of the team.

In December 2007, Arpida announced the enrolment of the first patients in a Phase II clinical study with intravenous iclaprim in the treatment of patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) or healthcare associated pneumonia (HCAP).
In May 2008, Arpida announced the enrolment of the first patients in a Phase II 'intravenous-to-oral' switch trial. Iclaprim could be offered not only as an intravenous therapy for hospital use in acute situations, but also as an oral formulation, allowing early patient discharge followed by outpatient treatment. This switch could be a valuable instrument in reducing healthcare costs and enhancing patient comfort.
Arpida's fourth most advanced antibiotic programme, AR-709, targets upper and lower respiratory tract infections acquired in the community setting. AR-709 exhibited potent activity against a large panel of pneumococcal clinical isolates including those resistant to currently used drugs. Results of "first-in-man" studies with AR-709 were published in March 2007.
An additional antibacterial compound, AR-2474, has demonstrated in vivo proof of concept. AR-2474 has been shown to be effective in eradicating pathogens in preclinical models of skin infection and nasal carriage.
Apart from the antibiotic programmes, Arpida has an innovative antifungal therapy (TLT) which is in Phase III clinical trials in Europe, targeting onychomycosis.
Moreover, the company has several other leads in optimisation and additional discovery programmes derived from its own discovery platform at various research stages.

Numerous websites have already been hacked in preparation for OpUSA, a campaign set to officially start on May 7. Several hacktivist collectives have announced their participation, including Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters, the group that's famous for disrupting the sites of US banks.
The initiators of OpUSA have revealed that the Cyber Fighters will take part in the attacks, but, so far, the hacktivists – whose main goal is to get the "insulting" Innocence of Muslims movie removed from the Web – haven't officially confirmed their participation.
In an email sent to Softpedia a few hours ago, the hackers explained their role in OpUSA.
"As we have said earlier, the Operation Ababil is performed because of widespread and organized offends to Islamic spirituals and holy issues, especially the great prophet of Islam (PBUH) and if the insulting film is eliminated from the Internet, the related attacks also will be stopped," al-Qassam Cyber Fighters stated.
"The targets in this operation are chosen among the American banks and the reason for this selection is mentioned in previous interviews."
They clarify the fact that they will continue focusing on Operation Ababil, and they will continue to target US financial institutions.
"At present we only continue our path in Operation Ababil. Based on the al-Qassam Cyber Fighters' planning, the May 7th is the start day of the 10th week of Operation Ababil's 3rd phase," they said.
However, that doesn't mean they don't support OpUSA.
"We invite all cyber activists to choose American banks as their primary targets so that all of us reach to common goals better," they added.
In the meantime, more websites and even Twitter accounts are being targeted by hacktivists. Hackers News Bulletin reports that 9 websites and 2 Twitter accounts have been breached by the hacker Ins0mnia.

Steve Miller Band Concert Tickets
Formed in the musically fertile San Francisco Bay Area in 1967, the Steve Miller Band has become a mainstay of rock radio. Without mainstream staples like The Joker, Take the Money and Run, Fly Like an Eagle, Rock 'N Me, Jet Airliner, Jungle Love and Swingtown, car rides just wouldn't feel the same.
Steve Miller Band concerts have been selling out since they got their start at legendary shows playing backing band for Chuck Berry at classic venues like the Filmore West and on their own at the Monterey Pop Festival. Beatles singer Paul McCartney even co-wrote and played with the band under the pseudonym Paul Ramon on their single My Dark Hour.
Now they're back with a new Steve Miller Band album called Let Your Hair Down and Steve Miller Band tour dates at venues across the US. Get your Steve Miller tickets to see them live!

P&L Burger
P&L Burger, the new burger shop offshoot of Parts & Labour, already claimed a win at the recent CMT Burger Wars, and now after only a month of construction has transformed the address of the short-lived White Squirrel Snack Shop into a dedicated source to get the champion P&L Burger ($9).
Despite being situated between a Burger's Priest and the newly opened Toma Burger Addiction, the P&L team -- consisting of Chef Matty Matheson, Richard Lambert, Jesse Girard, Kie Ng, David Ginsberg and creative partners Brian Richer of Castor Design and TAXI -- are confident the demand for burgers is there. Since winning the CMT title, the original Parkdale location has almost quadrupled burger sales and the intent is to expand with multiple locations.
Inside, the narrow space only seats 20 max and in true fast food fashion discourages guests from lingering too long (hence there is no booze). The decor is utilitarian and predominantly painted with whiteboard paint that lends itself to ephemeral graffiti/defacement from waiting customers. Orders are placed at the counter and picked up when ready at the kitchen door.
The opening menu boasts six variations of the same house-ground chuck patty on a Silverstein bun distinguished only by toppings. Some are subtle riffs on the iconic cheeseburger while others veer towards the unusual.
I'm won over immediately by The Castor ($9), a juicy, slightly pink patty topped with peameal bacon, cheddar, crispy fried onions, lettuce and BBQ sauce (lead photo).
More novel is The Italian ($9) topped with mozzarella, roasted sweet and hot peppers, sautéed onions and marinara sauce.
Vegetarians can take part too with The Big Tempeh ($9), a meatless version of The Deluxe ($9) covered with melted cheese, sliced tomato, pickles, onions, lettuce and house sauce. Gluten-free eaters can have any burger wrapped in kale.
Fries and a fountain soda can complete any order for an extra $3 or there are thick old-school shakes ($4.50) and additional a la carte side orders including onion rings ($4), poutine ($5.50), coleslaw ($3) and kale caesar salad ($5).
P&L Burger is open daily from 11am 'til 11pm. Take-out is encouraged and delivery options will hopefully follow in the coming weeks or months.

McDonald's down the street is watched under a microscope but these trendy burger places are allowed to let their chefs/cooks create menu items without a concern for the fat contents, etc. I bet these burgers have at least twice the amount of fats and cholesterol than a fast food burger.
Once you mince up beef, any bacterial growth on the surface is then spread throughout the meat. The addition of moisture and egg during patty construction further increases the risk of unbridled bacterial colonoziation of the inside of the patty. When you cook the patty without fully cooking through to the inside, you run a serious risk of food poisoning.
Just "food for thought".
(7) The following shall be cooked to reach an internal temperature of at least 71 degrees Celsius for at least 15 seconds:
1. Pork.
2. Pork products.
3. All parts of ground meat, other than ground meat that contains poultry. O. Reg. 74/04, s. 1.
Tasted like a Wendy's Big Classic.
So disappointed.
When you combine these asshats with all the ones complaining about cholesterol at a fucking burger joint and the ones that cringingly call these burgers "gourmet", I'm actually surprised that these burger places can get business. Kudos to P&L for using an actually fatty cut like chuck and advertising it and good luck, because in this town you're going to need it.
Dear Toronto restaurateurs: please stop trying to kill us all. We're unhealthy enough as it is. Thanks.
Is there any reason you no longer run a restaurant.
No, people don't think that a burger is healthy, but after counting calories for 20 years I'm still really shocked by the variation in calories between meals in different restaurants. Toronto Star's "The Dish" is often a complete eye-opener (e.g. the >900 calorie muffin from Urban Herbivore)
If its is ground to order its ok, not just done on site.
What does "ground to order" mean, and how does it reduce the chance of contamination? Can meat be "ground to order" and then shipped to Toronto over the course of a few weeks on a hot, festering slow boat from Farflungizstan?
Too funny.
Of course it's FAT FREE man just look at the pictures.
The burgers here look excellent (especially the Castor and Italian burgers), and unlike some places (like Sandoozles and their $5 side of fries), it's nice to see a "gourmet" fast food place charge decent prices for the non gourmet aspects of their menu (side and drink for $3). Be warned though, looking at their twitter feed, they had more than a couple incidents of serving their burgers way too pink on their first day. I'm sure they'll be a bit more careful from here on in.
Dirty meat makes you sick, not meat in general. If the meat is clean you don't have to cook as long.
It's true what Scientist is saying, that grinding meat makes it more likely for a bacterial colony to swell in numbers (assuming the bacteria is there in the first place).
I think the point of all this is how cautious you want to be, and how much trust you put into a restaurant, and a city's food inspection system.
As for me, I'm going to go enjoy some P&L burger for lunch!
the p&l burger was great. the bun wasn't a greasy soppy mess like priest (since we all want to compare the 2 ..)
but the fries were gross.
the onion rings, amazing.
50/50 ... lets see if they survive.
the space is severely uninviting.
they really need to do something about it, or they won't survive the burger wars they think they've already won.
My bro had the italian and liked it. Big burgers and tasty. His onion rings were the best I had tried in a long time.
Small pop container, but free refills. Overall its a good spot to get a solid burger on the go.
Reminds me of a transit terminal type place, I liked the no nonsense urban feel of the place.
I got a P&L burger and onion rings combo. I thought $14 was a little steep, but I guess that's about the standard price now in the city for burger and fries. The burger was actually a lot smaller than I thought it would be based on the photos above. Burger was ok. The sauce was probably the best part. Bun wasn't anything special and I felt the patty was comparable to Hero Burger.
I figured I would get the onion rings instead of the fries based on the reviews here. I was pretty disappointed with them as well. The ones without a ton of salt were pretty good, but every few were covered in salt making them almost impossible to eat. I had the taste of salt in my mouth for the rest of the afternoon after eating them.
The staff was nice, but I definitely don't think I will be going back here again.
Someone in the kitchen doesn't know how to control the heat on the cooking surface. The outer 1 or 2 mm of the patty was cooked black, so I actually thought on first glance that my burger was going to be over-cooked. When I took a bite into it, it was completely cold and had a slimy texture. When I looked at where I had bitten, I saw the inside was *completely* raw: bright red and cold.
I thought about going back to the place to return it and ask for my money, but it was too frigid outside for me to go out a second time, so I just threw the burger out.
Honestly, how hard is it to ensure that a burger is cooked? I'm simply never going back.
No wonder all the free/comped crowd shows up to get a free burger and sing the place's praises when this city has zero Michelin rated restaurants. When will a Michelin 3 star restaurant make it here?
PS: the entrance looks too narrow for Rob Ford to come in for his $18 burger and shake. Way to hinder your constituency.
I was like, "Specific about what?"
He said, "About the toppings, boss. They've thought long and hard about them."
I said, "That's interesting, because I've thought long and hard about crispy onions. I like them. Can I at least have them on the side, and I can add them myself?"
Dude was like, "I don't think they'd really be down for it, boss. It's still kind of like insulting their expertise."
Expertise??? Insulting??? We're talking about BURGERS dude. Man, I'd be embarrassed to be thought of as a "burger expert".
Honestly, this burger gourmet thing is going way too far. I think at this point I'd rather just have some Harvey's. Serious.
john do you manage a mcdonalds or somthing?
Inspected on: June 2, 2014
Inspection finding: Yellow (Conditional)
Number of infractions: 3 (Minor: 1, Significant: 2)
Crucial infractions include: N/A
went in there at about 8:40 on a wednesday night. the place was almost empty but the server was nonetheless very friendly. I ordered "The General" Burger with fries and a ginger ale (including refills!). Shortly after ordering the burger was ready. It's a huge burger and it's impossible to eat it without smearing a bit of it over your fingers, but that's what makes it a good burger. the fries were double fried so the outside was crips but the inside still soft and still tasting of potatoes.

Blake Lively is spotted on the set of Gossip Girl in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan last week (August 31). Hmmm, I wonder if she's talking to her boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio?
Don't miss the Blake Lively page for a lot more pics of the beautiful star on set.
Speaking of Leonardo, he's doing his best to win over Blake's dad Ernie, surprising him with an elaborate coloring book at his birthday last month in Los Angeles. A source told Us Weekly:
"Blake's father loved it ... Blake and Leo are so smitten it's crazy. I bet they get engaged in the next six months!"

Hi Gang,
We had some technical issues yesterday, but I am back with my three things that have had me thinking.
1. ACL/MCL injuries in high school sports seems to be becoming an epidemic. It seems that every season at least one or two players from a couple of our area schools goes down with one of these injuries. The most recent victim, NCU's Dehlia Wright, lost the bulk of her soccer season after sustaining this injury in late September, and she will spend her snowboarding season rehabbing in order to hopefully be ready for spring soccer.
BRADFORD–The North County Falcons football team lost to Oxbow 32-22 on Saturday.

The Orioles have activated Bobby Bundy from the disabled list. In a corresponding move they placed RHP Mike Wright on the disabled list (Retroactive to 6/4)
Bundy, 22, is 2-7 with a 5.05 ERA in 10 starts. However his 4.44 FIP says he has pitched a little better than his overall numbers indicate.
Wright, 22, was recently promoted to AA Bowie from Frederick. He had a 5-2 record with a 2.95 ERA at Frederick. In 2 starts with Bowie, he went 0-2 with a 7.15 ERA.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have reportedly not received their marriage license just yet.
The couple were the subject of rampant rumours over the weekend that they had technically tied the knot.
While Kim's spokesperson has yet to comment on the claims, a source tells America's People magazine the reality TV star has yet to officially become 'Mrs. West'.
Kim and Kanye were meanwhile seen arriving in New York City on Sunday for the annual Met Ball. The couple flew in from Paris, where they are rumoured to be planning an extravagant ceremony.
People reports the pair will return to the city later this month for the nuptials, apparently scheduled for May 24 at Chateau Louis XIV. RadarOnline previously reported the ceremony could take place closer to home, in Los Angeles.
Reports have surfaced the couple's lawyers have advised that marrying in the US first would help them to avoid lengthy legal restraints overseas.
'Typically, the US recognises citizens getting married in France, but dealing with a foreign government and paperwork could be a nightmare,' an insider explained to Radar. 'So just to make sure it's legal, Kim and Kanye will first be having a civil ceremony in Southern California.'
Kim and Kanye became engaged in October of last year, four months after she gave birth to the couple's first child, a daughter named North.
It will be Kim's third marriage, and Kanye's first. The reality star was previously wed to basketball player Kris Humphries for 72 days in 2010.
Prior to that, Kim was married to Damon Thomas between 2000 and 2004.

Making a Difference:
KET and GED® Test Enter New Age
KET is a leader in technology and education, and it's something that, as we go forward, is going to be very vital, both for our kids and for adults.
Tim Coleman
former chair of KET's governing board
Their stories are as individual as they are.
Some, like Christopher Lawrence, had family obligations that kept them away from school.
Making a Difference ... with Your Help!
Your financial support helps KET continue to make a positive difference in your community. DONATE NOW
Others, like Steven Oney, hated teen drama and didn't fit in. "For the longest time, I just loafed around and mooched off my parents," he said. "I was pretending—but you can't get out of life like you get out of school."
Still others, like John Bates, got involved in drugs or became parents as teens, which derailed their education goals.
They're adults who never finished high school. And for nearly 40 years, these individuals and thousands more like them have been the focus of KET's efforts to provide the preparation necessary to help them pass the GED® test and move on to better jobs, more education, or simply the completion of a personal goal.
In these pages, we have shared their inspiring stories as well as those from teachers and administrators, business owners and community leaders, who all see the value in finishing one's high school studies and using KET's resources to get there.
"As administrator for the school-to-work program for the region, I had adult education under my administration, and that's when I fell in love with KET because of its GED program," said Monroe County Schools Superintendent Lewis Carter. "The vast majority of our programs used these materials."
"For people who don't have a high school diploma, there is a huge array of reasons why they didn't finish," noted adult educator Stephanie Scheer, who uses KET materials in her Paducah Adult Education Center classroom.
Signature Healthcare CEO Joe Steier quickly turned to KET adult education materials to improve his workforce when he realized so many of his employees needed help.
"I started hearing people say, 'You know, I never finished high school because I got pregnant, or my dad was laid off, and I went to work,'" Steier said. "People had the emotional intelligence, the empathy, to be a caregiver but not having a high school education was blocking their way."
"KET is a vital resource for the education of our children, for those seeking GED diplomas, and for all adults throughout the state," emphasized Tim Coleman, a former chair of KET's governing board and a community leader in Morgantown.
"KET is a leader in technology and education, and it's something that, as we go forward, is going to be very vital, both for our kids and for adults," he said. "KET is going to be very instrumental in helping this state move forward."
A New World
Today, the world of adult education is changing, and KET is changing with it. This January, the GED Testing Service® is introducing a new test. At the same time, many states are changing which high-school equivalency examinations they will accept.
In response, KET is developing Fast Forward, a flexible adult learning system aligned to Common Core State Standards and emphasizing skills required for college and career readiness. This new system is digital-based and will include in-depth online instructional courses in all the areas of study plus an eBook that focuses on test-passing strategies.
Race to the Finish
Prior to launching the new service, however, KET continues to encourage learners to finish their testing before the current test expires at the end of 2013. This is especially important for those who have already passed one or more parts of the current test, as their scores won't carry over once the new test launches. Students still have time to enroll in KET's GED Connection service by calling 800-KET-4GED or going online at KET.org/gedstudy.
"None of the big steps I have taken would have happened had I not gotten my GED," says Hasan Davis, a former gang member who followed completion of his GED® diploma with earning both a college degree and law degree and is now commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice.

"The Wired Up Collection is designed for the professional photographer on assignment to the person that is just beginning to explore the possiblities of digital media."
Another way to significantly improve your audio is by using an external audio recorder on your HDLSR. Generally speaking, external audio recorders are superior when compared to the internal audio recording devices inside of the camera. Another advantage of external audio recording devices is that they have a headphone jack so that the photographer can "listen" to the sound as it is being recorded, and to hopefully eliminate unwanted sounds.
Another way to significantly improve your audio is by using an external audio recorder. Newspaper photojournalists and other photographers that are on the run generally prefer small devices, like the Edirol R-09HR
This is very small, portable, can easily be thrown into a bag, and can be used to record either your primary sound or ambient sound, and it can be used for audio interviews as well. Some photographers prefer simple "ear buds" while others prefer full size "headphones."
For even greater sound capabilities and control, the Marantz 661 is a top performer. One HUGE advantage is that both of these have two XLR inputs, as opposed to a mic jack, which will impact your sound quality. It also means you can have to two microphones attached recording sound separately, such as a wireless mic on your subject, and an additional microphone collecting ambient sound.

I was surprised to see WTW in the set to begin with. I had read before the tour even started that Neil didn't like the song too much. I guess they figured since they're playing most of the album they would just try it out and see what happened.
I prefer if they dropped it because WTW isn't a song that should be played at all, let alone in a rotation. Carnies and Seven Cities are much better tunes and should be in the set every night. I don't say this too much since Rush are such great song writers, but WTW is easily one of the most generic, run of the mill sounding rock songs they've ever recorded.
I do like the new set. Ending every show with 2112 would just makes sense. I would drop Working Man for The Spirit Of Radio. I've seen Rush eight times and it just wouldn't seem like a Rush show to me without TSOR in it.

Claims Derby crash victim 'lay in street for 45 minutes' denied by ambulance service
Posted: August 31, 2014|
A DERBY pub landlord said he was "appalled" after he and his regulars were left tending to a 61-year-old road accident victim for "more than 45 minutes" until an ambulance turned up.
Barry Grantham, who runs the New Bridge Inn, said he and his customers spent three-quarters of an hour holding umbrellas over the woman as she lay in Chellaston Road, Shelton Lock.
In response, East Midlands Ambulance Service said its log showed a doctor was there within 17 minutes of the incident being called in and the ambulance arrived after 31 minutes and was "within a standard response time".
But Mr Grantham denied this, saying it was "a damn sight longer that 31 minutes" while another customer, Keith Jordan, said he timed the ambulance's arrival "at 49 minutes".

£6m of savings to be made by ambulance service
The accident happened at 8.30pm on Monday in Chellaston Road.
The woman, who had been in the pub with her 62-year-old husband, was left in the middle of the road following an accident with a van.
Mr Grantham said: "The response was appalling.
"It was raining, wet, and this woman was in the road.
"We didn't want to move her because we didn't know what injuries she may have suffered.
"The police were there within five minutes but we were there reassuring her for more than 45 minutes.
"Then, when an ambulance did turn up, there was no urgency at all, no flashing lights, no sirens.
"It was as though they had just turned up from having a tea break."
Police said its officers attended the accident and that the victim and her husband were taken to the Royal Derby Hospital.
The woman suffered chest pains but her injuries were not "life-threatening or life-changing".
Mr Grantham said: "As a rule, I do not knock the ambulance service as I know they have a difficult job and I have a relative who works for them.
"But, on this occasion, I felt their reaction was dreadful.
"You would have thought that this would have been treated as a priority."
One of Mr Grantham's customers on Monday night, Keith Jordan of Abbey Street, said: "This poor woman was left lying in the road for, what I made, 49 minutes being looked after by the landlord, customers and the police."
An ambulance service spokesman said: "Based on the information provided to us, this call was categorised as an incident requiring a response within 30 minutes.
"Our records show that we received the call at 8.30pm, a doctor arrived at 8.47pm and an ambulance at 9.01pm.
"Therefore, our response was within standard."

If you were among those who watched Tuesday morning's House Ways and Means Committee hearings on the Internal Revenue Service scandal, a tip o' the cap, doff of the lid and tap of the brim to you. Out of what I am certain was mere coincidence, President Barack Obama chose that same time frame to wander into the Rose Garden and whine about some Federal judicial appointees having a tough time of it; or something to that effect. For all the real import of Obama's remarks, he might as well have been reading one of the multiple autobiographies he's managed to write about the life he won't admit to living.
His al fresco foot-stomp magically drew the attention of not only the usual lapdog media clowns, but even C-SPAN. Meanwhile, I watched the Committee's live feed (they have one). I'm told Fox News managed to cover the hearing, as well.
If you did join me in viewing the Ways and Means Committee in all its gladiatorial glory, then you were treated to what may well have been the defining moment for the Democratic Party's willful ignorance of the law, the Constitution and basic decency in deploying the IRS as a weapon against conservatives. You also enjoyed a great moment in conservatism's stand against such tyrannical excess.
Former Saddam Hussein human shield and current Congressman from Washington's weirdest district Jim McDermott took it upon himself to defend the IRS's partisan battery thusly:
(E)ach of your groups are highly political… We're talking about whether or not the American taxpayers will subsidize your work. We're talking about a tax break. If you didn't come in and ask for this tax break, you would have never have had a question asked of you.
That's right, kiddies. According to the Democrats, when it comes to politically-motivated harassment of law-abiding citizens over their refusal to bow before Obama, conservatives brought it on themselves. What's more, if they had simply avoided applying for tax-exempt status, they could have avoided the whole mess.
Keep in mind, McDermott may be a loon; but he's hardly alone in his lunacy. Leading Democrats including Bill Maher and The New York Times have tried on the same crazy pants. Of course, the conservative groups who faced the brunt of the IRS jackboot campaign deserved it. If you go out in Washington, D.C. dressed in one of those sexy blue suit–and-red tie outfits, you're practically begging for an audit.
Fortunately for us, McDermott had company in the room. Representative Aaron Schock (R-Ill.) smacked the falafel out of McDermott's face when he noted: "'Organizing for Action is a non-profit organization established to support President Obama in achieving enactment of his agenda.'"
Schock was not offering an opinion on "Organizing for Action's" mission statement; he was reading it verbatim from the OfA website. If McDermott is so concerned about "highly political" groups; where is his demand for an IRS audit of these guys? By repeating a liberal hate group's own words, Schock not only crushed McDermott's party-line pabulum; he ground it up and buried it in the backyard.
The artists formerly known as "Obama for America" are now calling themselves "Organizing for America." The same people, with the same mission and even the same leadership in the person of Jim Messina — who always looks like he spends too much time driving windowless vans past schoolyards. Moreover, they still tweet under the Twitter-verified handle "@BarackObama;" and the real Barack Obama even pops in from time to time to help them grub for cash.
OFA is joined in tax-exempt status by a host of hate groups. There's Common Cause, whose members infamously called for the actual lynching of a Supreme Court justice and his wife; ThinkProgress, which claims to be "non-partisan," and yet crows about being a "liberal blog" in the next sentence; Media Matters for America, a "progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media;" and even Planned Parenthood, which does — well — a certain Mr. Gosnell could tell you in fairly excruciating detail.
All the aforementioned are overtly and even unapologetically political in nature. All enjoy tax-exempt status. Not one endured any kind of harassment, auditing or even so much as an unenthusiastic birthday card from the IRS. If you asked "Baghdad" Jim McDermott about that, he'd probably say "they weren't asking for it."

A good wildlife garden is more than
just a corner of a garden left to go wild. Whether you are creating
a new wildlife garden, or have an established one, think of it as a
natural habitat and you are the nature warden. Here are our top 10
tips for a wildlife friendly garden.
1. Plant lots of insect friendly flowers
Flowers provide pollen and nectar for bees, butterflies and
other insects all year round. Many garden plants are as good for
wildlife as wild flowers are. Flowers such as Buddleja and Lavender
are particularly loved by butterflies and bees.
These give food and shelter to wildlife. Good small trees for
blossom and berries include rowan, crab apple and hawthorn. Ivy
provides shelter for nesting birds, plus autumn flowers for nectar,
and winter berries for birds and small mammals; moths love
Ponds are a real boost to gardens, being a watering hole for
land-living animals as well as a complete habitat for others. They
can be easy and cheap to construct, and even small ones are better
than none at all!
A dead wood pile will become home to a number of different
species, who may use it for shelter or for feeding. Frogs, small
mammals and insects will all benefit from this addition to your
Turning your garden and kitchen waster into a compost heap is
not only a great way to recycle these materials into the nutrients
your plants need, but can also provide a miniature, frost free
wildlife refuge.
6. Bin the chemicals
Pesticides and herbicides are very good at killing the bad guys,
but unfortunately they also kill the good guys. Reduction in the
number of insects and bugs in your garden can have a detrimental
effect on frogs through to hedgehogs. Why not try to encourage
natural predators into your gardens instead, such as ladybirds
which love aphids.
7. Grow your own
Herbs are loved by a number of insect species, and you can use
them too! Rosemary, Chives, Thyme and Lavender are all bee
For one of the your garden friends. Bird boxes, bat boxes,
lacewing hotels, bee nesting boxes and toad homes are all easy to
make and offer an extra sheltering area. Photo credit to Paul
10. Go wild!
Don't feel that you have to be too tidy. Leave some areas
undisturbed, especially between March and May. Piles of leaves and
twiggy debris in a hedge bottom, or out-of-the-way corner, will
shelter frogs, mice and hedgehogs, and the seeds in dead flower
heads can be valuable food. Let a patch of grass grow longer, as
this encourages wild flowers, provides shelter for small mammals
and food for some butterfly caterpillars

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service - Petition
Voice Your Opinion on the Future of Captive Chimpanzees in the United States
The United States has long recognized wild chimpanzees as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) but has not provided the same level of protection for chimpanzees held captive in this country. Because other U.S. animal welfare laws are weak or not well-enforced, this split listing under the ESA has enabled the exploitation of chimpanzees in the United States as pets and for entertainment, advertising and medical research—a situation that also has hampered efforts to promote protection of wild chimpanzees.
After reviewing the status of chimpanzees, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) determined that all members of a species must be afforded the same protection and that the split listing of chimpanzees must therefore be eliminated. In addition, finding that the threats to chimpanzees have increased since its last status review, the USFWS proposed that all chimpanzees, whether captive or wild, be listed as endangered. If finalized, the rule would bring into play the strict permitting requirements of the ESA.
By law, the public has 60 days to comment on the rule. Thereafter, the USFWS must respond to any comments received and announce a final decision within a year of issuing the proposed rule. This comment period will end on August 12, 2013.
Take Action
Now you can voice your opinion. The Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) plans to send the letter below to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, urging them to finalize the proposed rule. If you would like to lend your name to the letter, please fill out the form below by August 8 so that we can submit your name with the letter by the end of the public comment period on August 12.

Artistes known to always rock hats are gradually giving it up. GT the Guitarman once told Saturday Beats that he ditched his hat because he was rebranding himself. Banky W nowadays leaves home without his hat.
However, DJ Jimmy Jatt told Saturday Beats that shyness made him embrace the hat fashion but feels naked without them now.
"I doubt I would stop wearing caps. It is not impossible, but it wouldn't be immediate. I have been wearing hats for a very long time. I started wearing them out of shyness. I used to be very shy, I still am, but not as shy as I used to be before.
"Out of shyness, I used to use the cap to cover my face and move around people. Now I am so used to it that if I don't wear a hat, I feel naked. I can't put a figure to the number of hats I have because anytime I shop, I shop for hats as well. I bring some new ones in and get some old ones out. At any given time, I can conveniently tell you that I have at least a hundred hats," he said.
The veteran disc jockey said that he was not impressed with the stance of disc jockeying in the nation. To him, things should be better.
Jimmy Jatt said, "The growth of the music industry in Nigeria definitely will reflect on every department of music which DJing is part of. Although I'll not say it has affected the DJs well enough compared to what every other person in the music industry is getting. Things may be good for a few of us but it is not general."
Always a hard worker, he told Saturday Beats what he has a tight schedule. He said, "I am always working. We have a number of singles to put out in the next couple of weeks. We are working on a movie as well. I am not going into movies, but it is a part of what we do
"I'm more into production. I have acted in some movies maybe the movies were not released for some reasons. I'll not say I'm an actor. In most movies, they call me to come play as myself, so I am Jimmy Jatt on the movie. As a DJ, I have been touring and moving a lot. I have been in about five countries. I am just a mobile DJ ready to do gigs."

Tiger Woods Interview - 2004 US Open
BY iseekgolf.com | US PGA Tour | 2004 US Open | General | 16 Jun 2004
Rand Jerris: It's a pleasure to be joined this afternoon by Tiger Woods. Tiger is an eight-time USGA national champion and the winner of the 2000 and 2002 United States Opens. Tiger, the U.S. Open in Long Island; any special connection we can look for this week.
Tiger Woods: I'll tell you, this is going to be a fantastic tournament with the golf course the way it is, the way it's set up. I mean, it's one of the best setups I've ever seen. It's fair, it's difficult. The winds are blowing this year, so it's going to be a great test. I'm sure it'll be one that all the players will certainly enjoy.
Q: '95 at Shinnecock was your first U.S. Open experience. What have you learned in the nine years since coming back to Shinnecock?
Tiger Woods: Stay out of the fescue (laughter). You know, I didn't play very well. I think I went through it on the 6th hole. I think I was playing with Nick Price and Ernie, but I'm not really sure. All I know is I wasn't able to hold the club when I sprained my ligaments in my hand, so I had to withdraw, but it was certainly one that was a great experience because I played some great practice rounds with some major championship winners that year, and it was just a — for my first Open experience it was certainly one that I will always remember because it was such a great tournament.
Q: Could you give us a couple of examples of what makes it such a fantastic setup?
Tiger Woods: Well, I think this year they've cut back the rough around the greens a little bit more. Obviously some of the runoffs are fake because you won't end up on the fairway cut; you'll actually run off into the primary stuff but it runs you further off the green. It's shaped more like a links golf course. They've taken out the trees and the bushes as well as giving us a little bit more of a chance to chip and run up balls and putt.
Honestly, I can't remember how I played this thing in '95, but I know that I run more golf balls up here than any other U.S. Open. I don't think there's another U.S. Open like this one. This is very much like a British Open. You can actually putt from 30, 40 yards off the green if you so choose. That's certainly not the case at any other Open venue we play.
Q: Is it fair to say your putter has been largely responsible for keeping you in contention while you're bringing the rest of it around? And number two, it looks like Duval is going to play. Wondering what your thoughts are on that or whether you've spoken to him in the last few weeks about getting back in the game?
Tiger Woods: The Duval part, I haven't spoken to him. It's one of those things where I left a message here and there, but obviously he's busy, he's got a different life now. He wants to take a little time getting accustomed to it, one that he's excited about, too. I haven't spoken to him about his golf, and I didn't know he was playing until you guys announced it.
As far as my putter, I've putted well all year. There's only one week I didn't really putt that well, and I didn't have any three putts at Augusta but I didn't make any putts, either. It was probably the one week I didn't really putt the way I've been putting all year.
Q: Last two U.S. Opens here only one person shot under par. They say this course can eat you up if you're not playing well. For the layman golf fan can you tell us why that is?
Tiger Woods: You look at most of the greens, they kind of repel golf shots, they don't really accept them. With the knobs in the greens you have a lot of falloffs, good shots with the wind blowing as hard as it is, just one little gust, one yard, means 20 or 30 yards. It can roll off 20 or 30 yards and you have no shot. You'll do well just to make bogey.
Good shots here sometimes aren't rewarded at all, and that's one of the things you have to accept and move on. Every single person in this field is going to go through that and experience it, hit a nice quality golf shot, you thought it was perfect when you hit it, and it ends up in a spot where you're hoping to make bogey. It's just part of playing this particular golf course and you have to stay as patient as possible.
As you said, the last two champions are the only people under par. It's going to keep hanging around. You know par is never going to be a bad score out here.
Q: When you see and read some of the things that are written about what's wrong with your swing or if there's anything wrong or you haven't won a major since 2002, do you block that stuff out or do you get yourself motivated by it?
Tiger Woods: Certainly I try and just kind of take it in, but the problem is you guys keep asking me about it (laughter). Every tournament I go to you keep asking the same questions. I know that I haven't played up to my absolute peak, but who does week in and week out? It certainly is not from a lack of effort, and I know that I'm going to be making some great progress this year, so I'm pretty excited about it.
Q: What role do you guys see the teachers/coaches playing for you guys at the highest level of golf?
Tiger Woods: It depends. If you're going to go for a swing overhall or you seek another opinion or you're looking for a pair of eyes to take a look at something in your swing that you think you're doing but may not be doing, every person is different, so it's hard for me to answer that, Craig. It's one of those things where everybody goes to see their particular person for different reasons. I don't know what they are.
Q: Has it become more difficult to win majors since you broke on Tour, and if you agree with that, why is that?
Tiger Woods: I think it's become more difficult just because of the fact that the golf courses are becoming more difficult now. They're narrowing up the fairways and the rough is getting higher. The green speeds have certainly increased, and the fields are so much deeper. You know, we're just shooting good scores at not only majors but look at week in and week out. So far this year we've had two cuts where you have 4-under par after two days, and you have 70-plus guys shooting 4-under par. That goes to show you how deep the fields are. It's reflected in the majors, the Ben Curtis and Shaun Micheel win, the first two tournaments are major championship wins. That goes to show you how deep the fields are. I think the technique of the players and the equipment has improved.
Q: I heard a quote from your father about the best shot out of the fescue in '95. He determined it to be fitness for you and that's part of the revolution on Tour. Do you consider that a turning point in your career, that one shot?
Tiger Woods: No, because we were forced to work out in college before that. I certainly had to work out in college before that. I really wasn't working out obviously as hard as I do now, but our team certainly had to train, and that's just part of the process.
Q: More major questions here. In the two years since you last won at Bethpage, what majors stick in your mind? You've had some real close calls: Muirfield, the storm, Hazeltine with Rich Beem, Royal St. George's? Which ones when you relive majors the last two years, what thoughts come to you?
Tiger Woods: All the ones that I had a chance to win. I felt like the one at St. George was the one I should have won. I was playing really well that entire week, and I just had a back nine that I needed to play better, and I didn't. I didn't make any putts on the back nine. I had three good looks at putts from 15 feet on in. All I needed to do was make one of those and it was a totally different story. I needed to get some momentum going but I didn't make any of those putts. That week I was playing really one. Obviously the one at Hazeltine with Rich Beem, that was just a different kind of week, the weather, the delays and different things, but the quality of play at Royal St. George's is the one I think I should have won.
Q: Are you tired of all the television analysts analyzing your swing? And also, if you were to analyze your swing, what would you tell us?
Tiger Woods: I wouldn't tell you (laughter). Am I tired of it, yeah? I get asked questions from you guys about what these guys say. A lot of times they don't have an understanding of what I'm trying to work on or what I'm working on or what they conceive is a nice golf swing. Everyone's opinion of a nice golf swing is different. Some of these analysts speak from how either they perceive how the golf swing should be or how they used to play. It's different. Some guys shape the ball differently than others, other guys like to hit the ball differently than others. I think that's where you have to step out of the box sometimes, which these guys don't. That's where it's frustrating for me and other players, as well. We laugh about it on Tour how these guys think they know everything but they don't. They're not out here watching us play every shot, working on the range. They watch one golf shot and they analyze — this is what I like, pretty funny — when they take out a shot, like for me in 2000 and compare a shot that I hit this year. You don't know if I'm hitting a fade, don't know if I'm hitting a draw, you don't know if I'm hitting it high or hitting it low. You don't know what kind of lie I have, and you try and compare those two swings, and it's totally different. You can't compare those two golf swings.
I try not to do that myself because when I look at swings back in 2000 I have to remember what kind of shot I was trying to play in order for me to look at what kind of swings, what kind of technique I should have had at that particular time.
I think that's where you get into a problem trying to think — trying to analyze things certainly you don't understand.
Q: Phil was the best player never to have won a major for a long time. Who do you think that falls onto now?
Tiger Woods: I don't know.
Q: I think it was at the U.S. Open in 2000, they were saying they weren't sure the competition you were facing was experienced or the same as the competition he had. Now if you look at what Vijay and Phil have done in the last few months, even a guy like Sergio, has it gotten to be a pretty interesting couple of years to look back on?
Tiger Woods: If you look back at Jack's career, who were the guys winning majors when he came out on here? It was Arnold, Jack and Gary. That was it, three guys.
In my time it's been Vijay, Ernie and myself have won more than just one major championship in the same span of time. So it's very similar.
But if you look at Jack's entire career, 20-some odd years where he had different challenges. That's what you tend to overlook, overlook the tiny period of time I've been out here and guys who have won. If you analyze it that way, it's very similar.
Q: We are looking forward to your win this week. I have two questions. One is I watched you practice today, and it was interesting, you seemed like you were not hitting to the pin. Was there any reason? And second one is could you tell us what are your feelings about your golf so far this season.
Tiger Woods: I wasn't firing at pins today on either the golf course or the range. I'm firing at spots where I think the pins are going to be and trying to get a feeling of how the ball is going to react on the greens.
And then on the range I was hitting the ball on the left side of the range and hitting the ball back into the wind because you always want to hit the ball into the wind.
The second part is I felt the season so far has been pretty successful, not great, but certainly successful. I've won a World Golf Championship and I've had a very good season so far, been very consistent. I've had a nice run the last three tournaments I've played in, so hopefully that will continue throughout the entire summer.
Q: Seven majors without a win. I'm just wondering, does that seem long to you? How long does that seem to you? Do you think that we'll ever see one guy win seven majors in 11 tries again?
Tiger Woods: Who knows? The second part of your question, I don't know.
As far as seven majors without one, yeah, it's a long time concerning the fact that I was winning there, it seemed like just about every other one, but at least I've been in contention. If I was not in contention those seven major championships, I would not be happy at all. I had a chance to win two of them. I felt like I had a great chance to win two of them, and I've been in there with a chance going into the weekend at just about every one, so it's just a matter of putting all four rounds together.
Q: Assuming conditions stay the same pretty much all week, through these practice rounds have you developed a specific strategy as to how you're going to play the course, perhaps more 2-irons off the tee than drivers?
Tiger Woods: It all depends on how you feel, too. A lot of times — a couple times I hit 3-iron off the tee. The very next hole was 370 yards, I've got to hit driver just to give myself a 5-iron into the green. The wind is how long. No. 8 is a short hole, 400 yards or what it is into the wind, but I hit driver, 5-iron today. So short holes, somehow with this wind it's a great design because it's obviously a prevailing wind, and the short holes play dead into the wind. It seems like you hit about the same club whether it's downwind or into the greens. It's not necessarily what you're hitting off the tees; it's a matter of positioning the ball obviously in the fairway but trying to keep that ball on the green. If you keep the ball on the green here for 18 holes you're looking awfully good.
For instance, No. 7, if you can hit that green four days in a row, hats off to you.
Q: I hear a lot of guys have said this, that to win a major you not only have to play good golf but you also have to get a couple of good bounces. Just curious if you can put your finger on the best example of that for you in the majors you've won.
Tiger Woods: Well, you look at the British Open I won at St. Andrews, and I didn't hit into a bunker. That's luck. I know for a fact I hit two shots right at the bunker. One was at No. 11, I hit it straight right, right at the bunker, hit short of the bunker, hopped over, rolls up and make birdie. If I'm in the bunker I'm pitching out trying desperately to make par.
13 at Augusta, when I won there, I hit the trees there, pitched it out back into the fairway, knocked it on, made birdie. Those are great breaks. Hey, you need to have them. You can't go out there and expect to play so well that you're not going to get any breaks. You need to have some good fortune, and that's just part of the game of golf.
Q: Padraig Harrington was just here, and he said for him playing a tournament a week before a major is competitive practice. You don't play the week before majors generally. What is your week prior to a major like? What's the last day of heavy lifting, the last day of range work? Do you have a routine and how did that work coming into this week?
Tiger Woods: Well, I've done the same things. I do most of my work early. The main thing, I want to come in here fresh mentally as well as physically. That's the most important to me. Whether I come in here with my game great or game not so great, whatever it is, as long as I come in here fresh, I feel like I can still win. I've come into major championships not hitting worth a darn and I've won, and I felt like because I was so fresh that I had plenty of strength to play all four days and stay mentally focused 100 percent on every shot for all four days, and that's not easy to do, especially with so much pressure, so much riding on the line and with so many different distractions out there when you're playing, to stay at that level for four straight days, it's not easy at all. That's why I usually take the break and try and get myself mentally prepared as well as physically so I have enough energy.
Q: I know nothing is more important than golf this week, but how does it feel to be the hottest celebrity in the chic and fashionable Hamptons? You're surrounded and inundated with celebrities and right now you're the hottest one.
Tiger Woods: I don't know about that (laughter).
Q: Do you have time to take advantage of it?
Tiger Woods: I'm just a golfer, man (laughter). I chase a little white ball around and work on my farmer tan, that's it (laughter).
Q: In other words, that's all you're facing?
Tiger Woods: That's all I'm working on.
Q: You talked briefly about it at the Memorial and it's been around the Tour this year, belly putters. Your stance on it, is it just not for you, do you want to see them banned, and your putter length-wise, 36 inches, what is it exactly?
Tiger Woods: 34, I believe, depends who measures it. Scottie measures it completely different than Ping. It depends what company measures it. I don't know what the answer would be.
As far as belly putters, yeah, I've never been a fan of belly or long putters because I don't think anything should be anchored to the body. I think the art of putting is trying to figure out how to coordinate your arms, wrists and shoulders and hands to swing the blade, and I think that's part of the game of golf. I've never been in favor of — neither one of those two, belly putter or a long putter, as well. I'm sure one day I may need one, but I think that the challenge of it is to just swing the club, just like we do with all the other 13 clubs in our bag is to try and swing the club.
Rand Jerris: Thanks very much for your time. Good luck this week.
Tiger Woods: Thank you.

So it goes. Ice-nine. Unstuck in time. Hi-ho. . . . It's always good to trot out the famous Vonnegut catchphrases early in any piece about the author of "Slaughterhouse-Five." Otherwise, readers just wait impatiently for their appearance, eager to reexperience these little Proustian flashbacks to their lost youth, when they first read Vonnegut in college and were crazy about the soft-voiced, slouching iconoclast.
When Vonnegut died in 2007, his reputation as an important writer had preceded him. The later books were generally dismissed by critics as sophomoric or self-indulgent, nothing as good as "Cat's Cradle" or "The Sirens of Titan" or that now -classic parable about an ultra-conformist society, "Harrison Bergeron." (It's the one where people wear masks and carry around weights so that nobody is any more beautiful or more graceful than anyone else.)
