Pecha Kucha 16 Kicks Off SXSW
Pentagram's Austin office invites you to join us for Pecha Kucha 16 this evening, March 11, at 8:20 pm. Tonight's event, the 16th Pecha Kucha held in Austin, is being touted as "The Unofficial Kickoff to the South By Southwest Music Festival." The event will be held under a big tent in the parking lot of our building at 1508 West Fifth Street and is free and open to the public.
Pecha Kucha is a unique speaking format that features ten presenters from a variety of creative endeavors. Pecha Kucha, which means chit chat in Japanese, originated in Tokyo and now has chapters all over the US. The Austin chapter was originally founded by Herman Dyal and Carla Fraser and is now co-directed by Pentagram partner DJ Stout and Lana McGilvray. The challenging speaking format allows each speaker 20 slides which are set on a timer, beyond their control, of 20 seconds per slide. The unique format forces the presenters to tell their story within a six-minute time slot, and the combination of the quick narratives and the variety of disciplines makes for a very lively and enlightening evening of entertainment. The Austin event, which is free and open to the public, routinely attracts a crowd of 400 to 500 people.
Tonight's lineup of local presenters takes on a distinctly South By Southwest theme. "SouthBy has been getting bigger every year and has become internationally recognized so we thought it would be cool to do a SXSW Pecha Kucha," says Stout. "We've got speakers representing all three of the main SouthBy categories, interactive, film and music." This evening's presenters are music composer Graham Reynolds, singer-songwriter Charlie Faye, music photographer Mathew Sturtevant, animator Ron Pippen, pianist Patches King, guitar slinger Lance Keltner, music poster artist Noel Waggener, painter Jan Heaton, tech-wiz and philanthropist Richard Bagdonas, and rock and roll legend Jon Dee Graham.

Wendell returned to Green River in 1965, where he started his first true profession as a Utah highway patrolman.

But this week, attorneys for Durham and his business partners, James F. Cochran and Rick D. Snow, will have a chance to tell their side of the story.

The hockey season concluded less than a week ago and to no one's surprise it was Mount St. Charles that was celebrating on the ice with another state championship. Except for a four-year dry spell from 2003-07, that's the way it has been since the 1977-78 season for the Mounties, who have racked up 42 state titles in their storied history.
In boys' swimming, Bishop Hendricken has won every team title since 1989-90, a total of 22 straight crowns.
With the outdoor track season officially kicking off on April 2 with the annual Knights of Columbus Relays, longtime boys' coaches Tom Kenwood of Cumberland and George Briggs of Woonsocket don't have to be Nostradamus to predict what team will more than likely hoist the championship plaque in June.
It's the same team that's won the title 11 of the last 13 years, the Hawks of Hendricken.
Let the debates continue about the private versus public school inequality that so many argue about each and every year. In the case with track, Briggs and Kenwood have resigned to the fact that winning a state title in track with its multiple events is a near impossible task when facing the likes of the Hawks, who often field squads more than double their closest competitor.
"Hendricken is the benchmark," Briggs admitted. "They are coming at you with 225 athletes and six coaches. But in all honesty, I like going against them. If you want to have some great athletes in the state, you have to compete with the Hendricken athletes."
"Rarely are there any public school teams that will contend for a state title, usually it's a private school," said Kenwood, while also pointing out about La Salle Academy's dominance in girls' track. "That's why you set other goals, liking doing well in the division and, of course, the satisfaction of your athletes doing well individually."
The two local coaches agree that it's not the fault of private schools like Hendricken or Mount St. Charles for their dominance in their respective sports. That's just the way it is when you have programs that have the funds and resources to be successful.
"They have some very good coaches," Kenwood points out. "But they basically have a coach for every group of competitors on the track team. They have some outstanding coaching to cover all the areas. Right now I have an assistant coach Chris Skurka, who is a very good weight coach but he's all by himself and he has 30 throwers, boys and girls combined. It's difficult."
"My hats off to Jim Doyle," said Briggs, about the Hawks' running coach, who also earned success at St. Raphael Academy in the 1990s. "He has done an outstanding job with the numbers that he has and they just keeping coming."
Besides the quality of coaching, private institutions also have the luxury of having high-level athletes gravitating to their schools. If an athlete has the skills to excel in hockey and their parents can afford the tuition of Mount St. Charles, usually that's where they'll end up because of their reputation and attractiveness to top colleges. The same could be said for Hendricken and its talented track program.
Again, Kenwood and Briggs don't blame schools like Hendricken for that happening.
"It is a distinct disadvantage competing against a private school," Briggs said, "but success breeds success."
Hendricken has not lost an indoor title since the 1993-94 season when Doyle's St. Ray's squad took the crown. In outdoor track, two teams have managed to sneak their way in during the last 13 years with North Kingstown taking it all in 2007 with a narrow 80-77 upset win over the Hawks and then Westerly earning the plaque two years ago with a 69-50 victory over runner-up Mount Pleasant. Hendricken was third with 48.
Westerly's championship was bolstered heavily by the four wins attained by multiple state-record holder and one of the nation's best distance runners Andrew Springer, who captured the 3,000-, 1,500- and 800-meter runs and also ran a leg on the Bulldogs winning 4x800 relay squad.
Briggs admits that either you have to have some serious numbers of athletes on your team to win at the class or state level or athletes like Springer that can rack up 30 to 40 points all by themselves.
"If you don't it's like men competing against boys," he said. "Every so often you can get one of those athletes that can make a difference."
One of those athletes that Briggs points out is Hope junior Royal Cheatham, who won three individual events (55, 300, long jump) and also ran the leadoff leg for the winning 4x200 relay squad for the Blue Wave, a runner-up to five-time titlist La Salle at the indoor state meet this past February.
Cumberland, which last won a state cross-country title in 2004, copped an indoor title, too. But that came back in the winter of 1978. Two years later, Woonsocket also claimed a crown on the indoor surface. Since their wins at the old Cranston Street Armory in Providence, it has essentially been the Hawks that have dominated.
"Our meet was a close meet," Briggs said. '"It was nice beating them. They certainly didn't have the numbers. It was a relatively small team."
Kenwood sensed Hendricken would turn into a strong program shortly after his Clippers copped their indoor title. In succession, the Hawks won their first five cross-country titles from 1987-82.
"You could see the handwriting on the wall," Kenwood said. "They had a very strong cross-country program and they just seemed to be getting stronger and stronger."
Cumberland and Woonsocket should once again be among the top squads battling for the Northern Division Championships in May. The Clippers have won the last nine crowns.
"Our division, as always, is going to be tough," Kenwood said. "It's going to be a dogfight."
Cumberland lost a few quality athletes to graduation from last year's team, including standout sprinters Brandon Aikens and Justin Gaudette. But the Clippers do have some strong athletes this spring that should lead the way by scoring a considerable amount of points. Junior Ryan Rei (sprints, high jump, long jump), junior Ryan Dube (pole vault) and sophomore Trevor Crawley (distance events) are among that crew.
Woonsocket has its strength in the sprints, jumps and weight events, but is short on distance runners. Football stars Jessie Charette (jumps, sprints) and Jalen Evans (sprints) are two athletes that should make some noise.

"Stealing America: Vote by Vote" might have been this year's most alarming and patriotic documentary if it weren't so shoddy and dull. Remember all those complaints about "An Inconvenient Truth" playing like an aggrandized PowerPoint presentation? "Stealing America," by comparison, barely qualifies as a glorified Google search. The filmmaker, Dorothy Fadiman, would argue that that's exactly the point. In reporting on the suspicious circumstances of recent elections, she relies on information gathered by bloggers, local newspapers and personal testimony as opposed to the "mainstream media" — those TV networks and national newspapers, which supposedly ignored or dismissed evidence of electoral malfeasance. Ah, "supposedly"! There I go being a tool of the hegemonic MSM. — Nathan Lee

Craigslist: Missed Connections that should never connect
Are these even real? This collection of missed connection ads range from bizarre to creepy to threatening. How about the guy who offers 'CPR a girl till her last breath?' What does that even mean? Sounds like he might very well help her reach that last breath. These missed connection ads are at once the most disturbing and addictive thing I've seen all week.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- The House voted 58-26 Friday afternoon to approve a plan that shifts geographic boundaries to balance population changes. The Senate passed it 29-7 earlier in the day.
The plan bolsters the Democrats' hold on the 6th Congressional District represented by U.S. Representative Ben Chandler.
Republican State Senator Alice Forgy Kerr of Lexington, called the proposal the "Ben Chandler Lifetime Employment Act."
The plan also would allow U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers to keep some key GOP counties in the 5th District.
Lexington attorney Scott White said he will now drop the lawsuit he filed Thursday, on behalf of three Lexington residents.

When times are tough, coupons are more helpful than ever. If you want to save the most money, you have to educate yourself about the process. Keep reading into the following paragraphs to learn some of these ins and outs.
You can find some great coupons in the Sunday newspaper. The Sunday papers usually have one or more coupon inserts inside that contain a variety of coupons. Make it a habit to save these inserts every week so you have a good collection of coupons. You might not think you need them all, but you never know when one is going to prove to be very valuable.
It is not only grocery items and toiletry products that you can purchase with coupons. Many different types of retailers offer significant coupons. In many instances, their very own websites have this information. Checking sites for deals and coupons can help you save a lot of money over many purchases.
Only purchase what you have room for. If you cannot use the item in time, don't buy it or donate it to a charity.
Keep track of your coupon expiration dates. Some coupons expire within a matter of days. Others may last quite a bit longer. Check your coupons each week to see if any are close to expiration. Check for those nearing their expiration date. Doing this will help you save the most money.
Make sure you're not buying something just because you have a coupon. Sometimes people are so eager to make use of their coupons that they make purchases they don't need and actually wind up spending more than they would have without the coupons. Coupons should only be used on things you are intending on purchasing anyway.
You can find coupons in a variety of places. The Sunday paper usually contains many coupons inside. They can also be found in magazines, coupon mailings and in grocery store flyers. You can also find websites through which you can pick your desired coupons that can be printed immediately.
Warehouse stores are another great option for savings. With this type of store, you can purchase many items in bulk. When you buy a lot of one item, they are often offered at a discount, and then you can save even more when you have a coupon. Using a coupon with a bulk purchase can save you quite a bit of money.
As popular as the Sunday paper used to be to find coupons, the Internet is the best resource nowadays. Terrific coupons can be found online and used for things ranging from clothes to groceries. What's great is that they are easy to find, and all you have to do is print them out!
The more accustomed you become to clipping out coupons, the more locations you'll find to help you. For instance, you can find websites that actually allow you to buy great coupons. There could possibly be a coupon out there that lets you get an item for free. It's worth a look for a possible discount, but really, most of the best coupons are free of charge.
Use coupons when items go on sale. That way, you will save as much as possible. Many coupons last for at least three months, so hang on to them until the sale starts. Combining the two will maximize your savings.
Avoid holding on to the falsity that you can only use coupons if you go to a brick and mortar store. A lot of coupon websites exist that allow you to use coupons that only work online. Prior to making an online purchase, look for a relevant coupon code.
Manufacturers coupons are tremendous money-savers, indeed. Just by using them, you can dramatically reduce the total bill costs. You simply need to discover some key strategies for finding the coupons. With the ideas provided in this article, you will soon become a master at using coupons to save money.
If you can find a store that allows coupon doubling, shop there. You can get huge savings if you stick with stores that double coupons. On occasion you can get the item for free, thanks to coupon doubling. "Free" is the sort of price anybody can get behind! This might get you to try a new product as well.

Due to increasing skills and knowledge worldwide as well as labor costs that are a fraction of costs in the United States, there is some fear that the competition will mean less prosperity for people of my generation and younger. The concern is the younger generation may not be able to live as "well off" as their parents.
Ben Stein tackled this thought in a recent column on Yahoo Finance, focusing on China. Ben is not as concerned.
But the main thing I want to express… is that China is getting rich because its people are getting well educated, because they are working hard, because they are saving, and because they are investing.
This sounds like a good reminder for us in the Unied States as well. Here is the path to wealth:
Young Americans who study hard, learn serious subjects, do not lose themselves in computer games, avoid doomed industries, learn good work habits, save prudently, and invest sensibly will be well off no matter what happens in China or Taiwan or India.
It might take some foresight to know the answers to some of the questions Ben's summary evokes, for example:
* What are the serious subjects? (Am I in trouble because I studied education and not finance or economics?)
* What industries are doomed? (What if all jobs are eventually outsourced out of the United States except for upper management?)
* How do you invest sensibly? (Is it too late to invest in China? Where will the next booming economy be?)

There are few more dangerous occupations than construction. If you manage to make it through your career without a serious injury, this is fortunate. There are countless hazards to encounter every day including falling objects, equipment malfunctions, trench collapses, scaffolding accidents and motor vehicle accidents, among others.
Large equipment such as cranes, loaders and others pose dangers to those who work on construction sites as well. Any person who has suffered an injury on a construction site should seek the assistance of a St. Louis injury attorney from the Onder Law Firm.
Our legal team has deep roots in the St. Louis area, with generations of legal service to those in the area. We carefully evaluate all of our cases, and ensure that we identify all the forms of compensation for damages that could be sought for our clients. We advise you to contact us as quickly as possible after any construction site injury so that we can document your case and ensure that all the evidence is obtained.
When the case has a third party that could be liable, such as an equipment manufacturer, subcontractor or other company, we can include them in our demand for compensation for our client. This can allow for a higher settlement than one would receive through workers' compensation, which is often inadequate for the injured.
Each case should be managed from the outset, and in cases of wrongful death, spinal cord injuries or traumatic brain injury, the case becomes an extremely critical situation for the families or the injured victim. We take on such cases fully committed to the case and will relentlessly pursue a settlement that reflects the degree of injury and other losses.

Best Memorial Weekend Lawn Poster

Best Memorial Weekend Lawn Poster
May 28, 2011 - 6:14 pm
My next homemade bumper sticker: "So you're not a racist. Are you an idiot?"
Anyone who cast their vote to prove they're not a racist has already proven they are a complete idiot.
Heh. Y, it's like stepping on a land mine to avoid stepping in a pile of doggie-doo.
Well the time has come for sure that we can no longer keep putting sugar on dog droppings and calling it chocolate.
That's probably racist right there.
My ideal cabinet would be headed by Bolton Sec. of State, Netanyahu Sec. of Defense, Cain Sec. of Treasury, Bachmann Attorney General, …
Now, who could we hire to make it so?
That Netanyahu spot was a joke. Right? He's not a US citizen. How about Petraeus? Otherwise good picks.
Kim du Toit: Sec.War:-)
"Kim du Toit: Sec.War:-)" I'm sure that is the title he would use, too.
For those who don't know, Kim du Toit is a naturalized citizen; otherwise, I'd like that pick, as well. As he has said, KdT is American-by-choice from Dutch South Africa = African-American.
WTF? You don't have to be an American citizen for any of these positions.
Only a few elected positions require American citizenship.
Haven't heard anything about Kim du Toit lately. I don't think his blog is online any longer.
Here we go: Sarah Palin and Herman Cain would trade off on the Pres/Vice Pres jobs, just to piss Jon Stewart off and give Nancy Pelosi a stroke.
SecState: The Bolt-Man (or, as we call him round these parts, "the Moustache!")
SecDefense: Gen. Petraeus
SecTreas: Rick Santelli (cause I wanna see some more rants)
Atty General: Michele B. would be fantastic, but I'd give Mark Levin a call first, see if he'll do it.
SecLabor: Chris Christie (but let him work from NJ, so the teachers there don't get any ideas about defeating his reforms)
SecCommerce: give it to Donald Trump, but tell him the position's going away in less than a year, so he'll fire himself after getting Freedom Tower up, and getting a hair style at Area 51.
SecEducation: call up Michelle Obama, and ask if she'd be interested – then start laughing and say, "psych!" THEN, give it to Michelle Rhee (but make it clear she's under the same deadline as the Trumpster; the thing's getting shut down ASAP – but NOT before she gets rid of all tater tots in cafeterias!)
SecHHS: We'll get Tom Coburn to come in and implement Paul Ryan's plan, after he melds it with the one he presented to Congress. Tom will get the lion's share, along with Chris Christie, of the PR in the new Palin/Cain-Cain/Palin administration, because health and jobs will be the main focus right at the start.
SecEnergy: this department will be folded into a new White House Science Council (which will also include NASA)
SecVA: would be folded into the Pentagon under SecDef to save money
SecHomelandSecurity: Who else? Jan Brewer, now Gov. of Arizona. Oh – the FBI gets moved under her jurisdiction, and away from Justice. Michele B will be plenty busy getting rid of all the crap regulations and laws the Marxists have been putting in.
SecAgriculture: Folded, and some of its' functions placed under the WH Science Council (this will be done within 6 months of the new administration).
HUD, Interior, and Transportation will IMMEDIATELY be eliminated to start us back on a sane fiscal path. to be followed soon by Energy, Education, Commerce, and Labor as soon as they can be done away with.
So, within a year or year and a half's time, the Cabinet will go from 15 to 7 departments, and the remaining would have to reduce their staff and budgets by 20% by the end of the first fiscal year of the new administration … EXCEPT for two; DEFENSE and HOMELAND SECURITY. Those departments would have their budgets INCREASED by 10% immediately, and will remain that way for the foreseeable future. Once the borders were secured (which would take place within 18 months), then HomelandSecurity's budget would decrease 5% (allowing for the influx of the FBI into its' structure).
And finally … Dennis Miller would be named Prime Minister of the US. Not to do anything except use the media at will to get off on his rants; which will improve the mood of the country (and piss off Jon Stewart).
I like that, can we do it?
"The Lion's share" may not be what you think. Check out Aesop's fable– the one about the Lion and the Fox.
Looks like a Photoshop, but so what. I love it.
That IS a shamefully bad photoshopping.
Did the homeowner permission from his HOA before putting that sign up?
S'okay. They called Sarah up on her bus, and she said it was alright … and to drink a beer for her when they got done nailin' that thing up.
Excellent cabinet choices by "4. gary gulrud"! There's a tsunami of support out here, but it needs a Chris Christie, not a go-along-get-along Gingrich or other clown who supports the status quo of the entrenched political class.
Obama is one of the most beatable politicians of my lifetime, but unfortunately the Republican party is the one organization that is stupid and incompetent enough to lose to him.
If you criticize the 'Bamster over policy differences you're a racist. If you won't objectively criticize the 'Bamster over policy differences, isn't that racist too?
So, which is it going to be?
Indeed. I think this is how to look at it:
If you cast your vote FOR or AGAINST Obama because of his race(s?), then you're a racist.
If you either vote FOR or AGAINST Obama for some other reason (his policies, party affiliation, etc), then you're not a racist.
Note, that to the extent that "racism" was a factor in Obama's election, it BY FAR helped him rather than hurt him. In other words, I think its clear his that being half-black netted him far more votes than it cost him.
"My ideal cabinet would be headed by Bolton Sec. of State, Netanyahu Sec. of Defense, Cain Sec. of Treasury, Bachmann Attorney General, …"
Heh, I think I'd prefer Bachmann as Sec. of Treasury, leaving Cain for Fed Chair.
One would have to be insane to vote for a Democrat in 2012.
this notion doesnt thin their ranks too much
I'm not much for the "text-speak" the kids use nowadays… but seriously, I did LOL on that one.
Need to get Allen West into the mix somewhere; either as VP (granted he would be pretty much useless for 8 years but he WOULD get a shot at the Presidency in 8 years) or as Secretary of Defense (would be a better choice than Bebe only because he is an American Citizen)…
Incidentally, not only is that "yard sign" an obvious photoshop, it also contains a typographical error (ie "your weren't a racist").
The sign is NOT photoshopped. I've seen in it on and off the lawn in the house, the residents who I personally know. You are right, however, about the typo. But, if it sends the message, who cares?
I too have been in the house and know the people who reside there. It's the real deal.
@12 Doug – West as Cain's VP would be a perfect fit. What's Cain lacks in the finer points of foreign policy, West brings to the table, having served heroically as an instrument of foreign policy.
Think for a minute about foreign policy negotiations. Who would you rather have representing you? Somebody who had the balls to cap off a round next to the ear of an enemy during an interrogation (and admit to it immediately), or an affirmative action hire community organizer?
I'd be just fine with Cain/West 2012 & 2016, and West/Cain 2020 & 2024.
Typographical errors are how you know a sign was made by a conservative. Liberals have university-trained editors at their print shops.
Yogi Berra for Best Dam Quoter of the World Czar, Sara Palin for You Betcha Czar and anybody from the comedy show for being unfunny.
Is it possible for any candidate the republicans nominate be a worse president than Obama? Is such a thing even possible?
I have a bumper sticker on my truck:
"A taxpayer voting for Obama is like a chicken voting for Col Sanders"
Make no mistake- the left wing strategy for 2012 is to shame America into re-electing President Zipperhead- 'cuz if we don't, we're obviously racists.
It's got to be Gov Rick Perry in the Pres spot and Sen Marco Rubio as Veep. There is no other choice! Unless Lt Col West decides to run, then it is an altogether different ballgame.
Peace and God Bless!
A witty appealing, but it had to be post at least three years ago! It was so obvious that this charming guy is a misunderstanding of nature for controlling the our best conutry!
According to observations, The guy is doing gret so far…!

Indian marketers under-use print
4 March 2014
MUMBAI: Marketers across India are failing to fully utilise the opportunities that the print medium now offers, in terms of technology, content and language, according to leading industry figures.
"Print is the only medium that can appeal to all five senses – a 3D print for sight, aroma-based print for smell, audio-based print for hearing, and so on," explained Supriyo Sinha, vice president of West Bengal newspaper publisher Anandabazar Patrika, Ebela.
He pointed out that print was also able to integrate digital through options like Augmented Reality apps.
"Most marketers don't appreciate these options and use only vanilla print advertising," he
told Pitch magazine
. "The trick will be to expand the horizon and leverage the full power of print advertising."
Several brands have successfully used such devices, including Volkswagen, which
created a stir with a talking advertisement
when it launched its Vento model. The automaker claimed to have gained 12% of its annual sales target in one day as a result.
But this approach tends to be expensive and open to relatively few brands. And in any case, technology still has to be directed to an appropriate audience. Several figures remarked on the importance of the surrounding content.
"The marketer's interest is in reaching maximum people and if quality content can be created to attract the reader, the marketer will get attracted too," said Anant Nath, editor of Delhi Press's literary magazine, The Caravan.
From an agency perspective, good quality content was equally important, according to Anupriya Acharya, Group CEO, Zenith Optimedia Group. "For example, if it's a magazine on automobiles the reader would be interested in reading the review by an expert rather than that of some blogger whose views are very obvious," she said.
Magazines cater to particular audiences and, claimed Sam Balsara, chairman of Madison World: "Magazines talk to super influencers, hence are the most influential advertising mediums."
Another area yet to be fully explored by marketers is the growth of the regional press in a variety of languages. Girish Agarwaal, Promoter-Director of newspaper publisher Dainik Bhaskar Group, advised marketers and planners to "look around, develop and conceptualize advertising for a specific language".

The Supreme Court decision upholding the health-insurance mandate in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel to it. As Lewis Carroll wrote in Through the Looking Glass,
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less."
Chief Justice John Roberts's opinion holds that the penalty for not complying with the mandate is both a tax and not a tax — depending on the question. If the question is whether someone may sue to strike down the mandate, the court says yes, because the penalty is not a tax. Under the Tax Anti-Injunction Act (first passed in 1867 but since updated), one may not ask for an injunction against a tax before it has been enforced. One must wait to be taxed, request a refund from the IRS, and if turned down, then sue the government. In the ObamaCare case, the Court denied such an attempt to have the challenge dismissed by declaring the penalty not a tax.
But only for purposes of the Tax Anti-Injunction Act. It was another story when the question was whether the mandate is constitutional.
The government made two arguments in defense of its mandate. The primary argument was that Congress may require the purchase of insurance under the Commerce Clause. This clause, which empowers Congress "To regulate commerce … among the several States," has long been interpreted to include even activities that merely affect interstate commerce. Roberts and four other members of the court (Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito) did not buy this argument. "The Framers gave Congress the power to regulate commerce, not to compel it," Roberts wrote. He rebutted in great detail the Obama administration's many arguments that penalizing people for not buying insurance was a way to regulate interstate commerce.

NIGEL Clough has called on his Derby County team to add more bite to their game.
Clough is delighted with the quality of the Rams' football this season.
Now, after watching them lose 4-1 against Leicester City last Saturday, the manager wants the players to show greater determination when they are not in possession.
Speaking ahead of tomorrow's Championship clash against Leeds United at Pride Park, Clough said: "It is about balance but we certainly don't want to lose the way we have been playing because, this season, it has been on a different level to what we have done previously.
"We are playing some lovely football. That is not in question.
"We just have to balance that with the other side of the game.
"We made more passes than Leicester, got into their area more times than they did ours, and we lost 4-1.
"Sometimes, when you are playing as well as we are with the ball, you forget the other side of the game. The players have been reminded of that.
"We just need more of an edge to our game without losing our football.
"We are not a big, strong aggressive team but we have to have a bit more of that."
Clough says Derby have been working on tightening up their play defensively all over the pitch.
"That includes those in front of the defence as well," said Clough.
"We are looking at Jeff Hendrick and Paul Coutts to get a bit more physical and get a tackle in."
Derby's squad does not contain an experienced and natural defensive midfielder.
"That has been on our mind since Robbie Savage left," said Clough, who was close to signing Watford's John Eustace a couple of summers back.
"What we don't want to lose is the fluency that we have with the two or three players that play in there at the moment. You don't want somebody who just sits in midfield.
"People might say 'great, such a player might just break things up' but the way we are playing, we need everybody involved in the play.
"I think to get somebody who can do both at this level is probably beyond us at this moment.
"That is why we are concentrating on turning Jeff Hendrick, Craig Bryson, Will Hughes and Paul Coutts, whoever it is, into that sort of midfielder because we know they have got the ability. Can they add the other side of it to their game?"

Nevada inmate, 73, dies after prolonged illness
CREATED Jul 23, 2014
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) -- Authorities say a 73-year-old inmate who's been in prison for nearly four decades has died after a prolonged illness.
Nevada Department of Corrections officials say Lawrence Schultz died Monday at the Regional Medical Facility at the Nevada Correctional Center.
Schultz had been in prison since 1978 after being convicted of first-degree murder in Clark County. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
An autopsy is planned.

NEWS: Assemblyman Kieran Michael Lalor, R-Fishkill, is holding a form dealing with Common Core concerns at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Van Wyck Junior High School.
Parents and educators will have an opportunity to voice their concerns about the controversial curriculum, he said. Lalor will be joined by several Republican members of the New York State Assemblyman Education Committee. The school in the Wappingers Central School District is located at 6 Hillside Road in the Town of Wappinger.
A now-former employee of the United Aviation Academy flight school on Marshall Road faces three felonies for allegedly charging customers for lessons they never received. Alexander Heule, 20, of the Town of Beekman, allegedly charged three students extra money on their bill so he could make more in tips, state police said.
His alleged actions were discovered after the owners of the business conducted an audit of their records. Heule was charged with three counts of first-degree falsifying business records, a felony, and petit larceny, since he stole under $1,000, police said. He's due in Town of Wappinger Court Dec. 15, police said.
State consumer sentiment fell sharply this month and is at the lowest level since Dec. 2011, according to a Siena Research Institute Poll released Friday.

A pinguecula (plural: pingueculae) is a benign (noncancerous) growth that develops on your eye. It grows on the conjunctiva, which is the thin layer of tissue that's over the white part of your eye. Pingueculae can occur at any age, but they're mainly found in middle-aged and elderly people. These growths rarely need to be removed, and no treatment is necessary in most cases.
A pinguecula is yellowish in color and has a triangular shape. It's a small raised patch that grows close to your cornea, which is the transparent layer that lies over your pupil and iris (the colored part of your eye). Pingueculae are more common on the side of your cornea closer to your nose, but they can also grow next to your cornea on the other side. Some pingueculae can grow bigger, but this occurs at a very slow rate and is rare.
A pinguecula forms when the tissue in your conjunctiva changes and creates a small bump. Some of these bumps contain protein, fat, and calcium, while others contain protein and either fat or calcium. The reason for this change isn't fully understood, but it's been linked to frequent exposure to sunlight, dust, or wind. Pingueculae can also become more common as you get older. Most people who are over 80 have a pinguecula (Smolin et al., 2005).
A pinguecula can make your eye feel irritated or dry. It can also cause the sensation that you have something in your eye. Or you might experience a gritty feeling—as though you had sand or other rough particles in your eye. The affected eye might also itch or become red and inflamed. These symptoms caused by pingueculae can be mild or severe. Your eye doctor should be able to diagnose this condition based on the pinguecula's appearance and location.
Pingueculae and pterygia (singular: pterygium) are types of growths that can form on your eye. They share a few similarities, but there are also notable differences between these two conditions.
Pingueculae and pterygia are both benign and grow near the cornea. They're both linked to exposure to sun, wind, and other harsh elements.
However, pterygia don't look like pingueculae. Pterygia have a flesh-colored appearance and are round, oval, or elongated. Pterygia are more likely to grow over the cornea than are pingueculae. If a pinguecula does grow onto the cornea, it is then called a pterygium (Smolin et al., 2005).
You usually don't need any type of treatment for a pinguecula unless it causes discomfort. If your eye does hurt, your doctor can give you eye ointment or eye drops to relieve redness and irritation.
You can talk to your doctor about having the pinguecula surgically removed if its appearance bothers you. In some cases, a pinguecula might need to be removed. Surgery is considered when a pinguecula:
A pinguecula usually doesn't cause any problems. Surgery typically doesn't lead to complications, although pingueculae can grow back afterward. Your doctor might give you medication or use surface radiation to help prevent this.
If you spend a lot of time outdoors due to work or hobbies, you are more likely to develop pingueculae. However, you can help prevent these growths by wearing sunglasses when you're outside. Ideally, you should wear sunglasses that have a coating that blocks the sun's UVA and UVB rays. Sunglasses also help protect your eyes from wind and other outdoor elements, such as sand. Keeping your eyes moisturized with artificial tears might also help prevent pingeuculae. You should also wear protective eyewear when working in a dry and dusty environment.

Egyptian extremists aim at civil war, not just at Christians, priest says
Catholic World News - October 25, 2013
Attacks on Christians in Cairo are not caused by religious conflicts, the secretary of Egypt's Coptic-Catholic Patriarchate told representatives of Aid to the Church in Need.
Father Hani Bakhous Kiroulos said that recent assaults on Christian churches—such as the October 20 attack on a Coptic wedding ceremony, in which 4 people were killed—have shocked and outraged Egyptians, and been condemned by Muslim as well as Christian leaders.
"The idea that this involves a conflict between Muslims and Christians simply isn't borne out by reality. Not only Christians are being attacked, but state institutions as well," Father Kiroulos said. He noted that Islamic extremists have attacked government targets as well as Christian churches. Their goal, he said, is to foment a civil war.
"Police are stationed in front of many churches," the Egyptian priest said. "This is a problem that affects all Egyptians equally, not only the Christians. Egypt is conducting a war on terrorism."

Claim Your Diminished Value!
Diminished Value is the immediate loss of value a vehicle suffers due to a car accident. The loss of value remains even if the car, truck or motorcycle is fully repaired. It retains the loss due to the stigmas associated with the accident. Diminished Value can have varying degrees. A car with light cosmetic damage will not reflect the same loss of value as a vehicle with structural damage or frame damage. There are three stigmas associated with damaged and repaired vehicles.
- Stigma of Possible hidden or unknown damage from kinetic energy. The possibility of additional damage from Kinetic energy is real. Kinetic energy can travel through your vehicle damaging parts several feet away from the actual impact area, and remain undetected.
- Stigma of the Quality of Repairs. There is no government mandated standard of quality a body shop must meet. As such, there will always be a question as to the quality of the repairs.
- Stigma of the Damage History. The consumer will be assuming the history of the vehicle. A damage history will stay with that vehicle for the remaining salable life of the vehicle.
In most states like Texas, Oregon, Washington, Arizona and California, only 3rd party diminished value claims normally qualify, although in most states, uninsured motorists and hit and run claims will also normally qualify. At this time, Georgia is the only state where insurance companies are required by law to pay 1st party diminished value claims. Diminished Value is claimable in all 50 states with the proper documentation to prove the loss of value.

I have Diminished Value, Now What? To file a claim and settle for a reasonable amount, you'll need solid evidence, a Diminished Value Appraisal, to prove your loss.

We take the time to audit your estimate of record to determine if you have structural damage, frame damage, and/or cosmetic damage. This is annotated to highlight the damage. We run a damaged history report on your vehicle, so in case the loss is already showing up, we can reference it. Then we wrap it all together in a full color appraisal.

Relaxation techniques help fearful patients
The Positive Health Clinic at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh gets its share of people with an acute fear of needles. There have been patients who scream or even pass out during the nerve-racking 15 minutes or more it takes to draw about 20 tubes of blood that will tell HIV-positive patients the state of their illness.
But registered nurse Terry Lang has found a way to help some of them get past their needle phobia: the deep-breathing relaxation technique she and 13 other doctors and staff members learned in recent training with the famed Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital.
So far Lang has done relaxation breathing coupled with imagery, or visualization, of a nice place the patients would like to be with three of her needle-phobic patients. The results have been remarkable.
"The three I've done have been half-asleep — in a place where they're half-awake, half-asleep," she said. "Once the needle is out, I tell them we're going to leave the nice place." After a few more breaths, she tells them it is time to awake.
"They feel really positive, relaxed, amazed at what's happened," she said. "They've been petrified of needles. ... (Now) they say, 'We'll never be afraid of having it done again.' "
And that's an example of what mind-body medicine, also called integrated medicine, is all about. It's a recognition that the mind, body and spirit all work together in the healing process.
"I think that (the needle phobics' experiences) is a great example because the thing about this stuff is that it all sounds like a great idea, but people ask how practical is it?" said Dr. Betsy Blazek-O'Neill, medical director of Allegheny's Integrated Medicine Program and the person behind getting approval for the Benson-Henry Institute training. "In certain settings it's very practical. ...
"This stuff matters. A patient should not have to come in and have a horrible experience every time they have their blood drawn."
And a doctor or staffer should not be so stressed that it interferes with his or her interaction with the patient.
That's part of the mission of the staff who had the Benson-Henry training: To not only do the relaxation technique with patients bedside and, eventually, with families in waiting rooms, but to do it — and teach it — to other staff.
O'Neill is just now beginning to hear that some of those staff have reached the point where they are ready to work or are already working with patients at bedside.
Oncology nurse JC McFarland, who has practiced breath work and yoga for a number of years, recently did visualization and deep breathing with breast cancer patient Ethel Taylor, 70.
"Let everything relax. ... Let the weight of your body let you fall into the bed," McFarland said to Taylor in a quiet, melodic voice. "As you relax ... begin by taking easy breaths ...
"Breathing in ... and breathing out. ... Breathing in ... and breathing out ..." McFarland's words had a soothing rhythm. "Breathing in ... and breathing out. ... In that little space between the breaths it is peaceful and calm and still."
Taylor continued to breathe to the rhythm of McFarland's words. The nurse told her to put her hand over her heart and feel the part of herself "that takes on challenges, the part that gives you the ability to survive, to stay calm or to feel good about yourself."
In that same melodic voice, McFarland told Taylor that several times during the day she should return her dominant hand to her heart and "connect with your inner strength.
"Now come back into the room with me. Bring peace, confidence and the pride you might feel that you were able to do this ... five ... four ... three ... two ... and one."
Taylor, whose cancer has metastasized to her bones, opened her eyes.
Later she said the breathing allowed her to feel "just the calmness over my body. This morning when I woke up I was scattered, but I knew I was going to have (breathing) so I felt relaxed. ... Now I have no cares. I have no worries. ... I don't have any pain at all this morning."

Comments about Gibson 2014 Les Paul Standard Plus Electric Guitar:
Bought this guitar sight unseen. It was also a Level 2 Gently Used condition guitar that showed no sign of use at all. It was set up perfectly (for me) when it arrived and except for the box being chewed up, the case and guitar were perfect. They also got it right with the fret tangs going out to the edge of the neck-now the E string won't pull off during intense soloing! I'm in guitar heaven and this one is a keeper! Rare, because I usually find something I don't like right away and sell it-not this time!
