To say Reggie Theus Jr. was "sparingly used" last season is an understatement.
The rising sophomore saw the least playing time of any University of South Carolina scholarship player during the 2013-14 season - 39 minutes, which for a reference point was 30 fewer minutes than Bruce Ellington played in his brief three-game stint.
Theus Jr. made two baskets all season long in 11 appearances, averaging 0.6 points per game. He scored seven points on 2-of-7 shooting, was 3-for-10 from the free-throw line and collected six rebounds and five fouls.
As the least-used scholarship player, many speculated that Theus Jr. might not be part of the Gamecocks' plans going forward. But thanks to a positive attitude and good relationship with coach Frank Martin, Theus Jr. said he's here to stay.
"At the end of the day, coach likes me," said Theus Jr., who had 11 points and 8 rebounds in Thursday night's S.C. Pro-Am action. "I never took negativity into anything from anybody about where I was from (Los Angeles) or why I didn't play or anything like that.
"I tell people that I didn't play a lot last year, but Frank likes me a lot. He told me to come back in the summer because of my work ethic and how I am as a person and how much I care about our team and the culture and him.
"I just have to keep working hard and showing what I can do. Keep a good attitude, work as hard as I can and eventually it'll come. I'm real patient and happy with what I've become these past two years, my senior year of high school and my first year here and so far this summer."
Theus Jr. said playing in the Pro-Am gives him a chance to hone his skills by seeing significant action so he can become more comfortable playing the role on the court the coaches want him to.
"It feels good (to be out here)," Theus Jr. said. "I came out and I had a good game. It's always good going up against competition. It's a different challenge, and it's all about confidence and getting yourself comfortable with your new guys."
One of those new guys is teammate and incoming freshman TeMarcus Blanton. Blanton also scored 11 points in Thursday's game, adding 7 rebounds and 9 assists.
"I'm glad I have a guy like TeMarcus (Blanton) on my team, a young guy. I remember when it was my first Pro-Am game like it was yesterday, so I'm happy to be a part of that and help him learn from the other guys also."
Asked what the coaches have told Theus Jr. to change, he said the answer is simple - get more physical. With the injury to Shamiek Sheppard (6-foot-6) and legal issues surrounding James Thompson (6-9), the need for Theus Jr.'s 6-6 frame has dramatically increased.
"I feel like I have to change my body and change my mindset how it's always been as a guard and start becoming more physical inside," Theus Jr. said. "Because the times when I would get in there at the four spot, I'd play my butt off but it was so tough playing against those guys in there with a group of guys that size (in the SEC). Even the size of the guys on our team is different for me.
"A big thing for Frank and our coaches is they want to turn me into a stretch-four to be able to stretch my game so I'm on the box and can step out. There were a lot of practices where I noticed I was real comfortable and ion the flow of the offense."
For Theus Jr. to escape the end of the bench, he'll have to be willing to do the hard work that Martin's physical system demands.
"I think he just wants me to play hard, stay focused and understand the plays, do the dirty work," Theus Jr. said. "His thing is play hard, give it 100 no matter what. I don't have to shoot, I don't have to dribble, I just have to play hard and he'll be happy with that."
The other thing the coaches need to see from him, Theus Jr., was an improvement in his concentration.
"I think mainly for (Frank), what we talked about was the focus," Theus Jr. said. "The first year, being so far away from where I'm from, he said we understand that it was a real long process to get adjusted to the size, the time, how things go on over here.
"I feel like it's my job to do my job, do what Frank wants. So I feel like my role hasn't changed; if I keep doing what I'm doing, my time will come. It's always about having a chip on your shoulder and showing people what you can do.
It always works out, because I'm a good people person. I'm going in the right direction."

But Saturday marked the redshirt freshman's noticeable coming-out party, as he appeared at fullback and served on occasion as the lead blocker for Le'Veon Bell and even hauled in 7-yard catch. It's all part of an experiment by coach Mark Dantonio, who resolved to get the 6-foot-3, 295-pounder on the field in some form.
"L.T.'s a guy that obviously is a great football player," Dantonio said. "I really felt like we've got to get the guy going somewhere. He's too good to not play -- whether that be tight end, whether that be fullback, whether that be defensive end."
Thomas, who said he spent some time at fullback in high school, was able to spring Bell for good gains and seemed open to the position change.
"He said as the weeks go on, he's going to keep throwing stuff at me," Thomas said of Dantonio.

Michigan State has Denzel Drone available at defensive end again after switching back from tight end. At fullback, the Spartans use sophomore Niko Palazeti and Thomas as well now.
"Even when he played on the defensive side, he had some pop to him," Bell said. "As a fullback, that's all it is. You bring your hips, and have some pop to you ... He'll be a playmaker for us."
Said Dantonio: "You put a 280-pound fullback in there, and he moved some people."
"What we have to do is practice him on both sides. We want him to be a dual player much like Tony Lippett was last year, so he's not going to go entirely over there on offense. In my big scheme of things, I still think he's a defensive player down the road, but we've got to get him playing football."

To the Editor:
Being new to the political scene, I have made two unsuccessful attempts to have my name on the ballot in the general election for the Rensselaerville town clerk. However, due to my desire to offer the town residents a real choice, I have chosen to launch a write-in campaign.
Your full-page article on page 8 of The Enterprise on Oct.10, 2013 [online at www.altamontenterprise.com] was not complete.
It is with great concern that I have read the last two letters to the editor from the currently seated Knox Town Board members.
Emerus: The Beginning is the title of a new book by local writer Benjamin Deer. It's a fictional account of 18-year-old Johnny Engleheart, an average, outgoing teen who loves baseball and is close to his family.
The article in last week's Enterprise concerning the Guilderland Fire District's referendum on a bond vote would be a good topic of discussion in civics — if the schools still taught civics.
Thank you to all who supported the fifth year of the Voorheesville Farmers' Market. It was wonderful to see so many people meeting neighbors and chatting.
We received an anonymous donation to the Rodino family in the mail. We wanted to let that person know that the family did receive the check and were very touched at the gesture.
This is in response to last week's article on the Guilderland Fire District's vote to build a $ 3.9 million expansion to the Guilderland Fire Department facilities.
My wife has Alzheimer 's disease. She was diagnosed over seven years ago with early onset Alzheimer's.
I am a longtime resident of Knox and I am certain we have much to be proud of here in Knox. Our most obvious asset is the natural beauty of our town. We have spectacular scenic views from most of our roads, and almost all of our residents can truthfully say they live in a beautiful setting.
The Eighth Annual Fall Festival, held Sept. 28 and 29, was inspired by all with two wonderful days of perfect fall sunshine, unlike the previous year with two days of cold rain and flooding. It certainly turns the spirit around for everyone to enjoy.

Superior has two lines of glow-in-the-dark threads. Both of our threads are made from a special blend of Polyester fibers which have been impregnated with a glowing dye agent. The natural color of the glow is the standard green color which is the most common for glow-in-the-dark toys and paints. The glow will last for a few hours and can be recharged over-and-over again by exposing it to light for a short period of time. Indoor and natural light will both recharge the glowing dye.
Our NiteLite glow-in-the-dark thread is popular for embroidery and quilting and it can be used in both home sewing and embroidery machines as well as commercial embroidery machines and longarm quilting machines. It is a 40 wt.3-ply thread. We recommend using a Superior Topstitch #90/14 for all home sewing and embroidery applications and a size 4.0 (#18) needle for longarm machines. NiteLite looks better when in a dense stitch pattern more than a single stitch, as more thread in a closer area means a more distinct glow. NiteLite is available in 6 colors which you can see in the image to the right. They do not glow the color they are dyed, as most of the glowing color is going to be a greenish-yellow.
SewGlow is a brand new, glow-in-the-dark thread created specifically for upholstery and heavy-duty sewing applications. As a thick Tex 240 (comparable to a #207 or #277 thread), Polyester thread with special glow-in-the-dark dye impregnated into the fibers, SewGlow looks like a standard white thread in the light. But in the dark, it's glowing brilliance shines bright. This thread is the first in the industry to achieve the strength of a bonded upholstery thread with the ability to glow in the dark. Available in white on a 100 yd or 250 yd cone, SewGlow is a fantastic thread to use for any custom stitching in a vehicle or furniture.

Arcade Fire
The Suburbs
At last we've learned what that secret project by Arcade Fire and Spike Jonze was all about. The Jackass co-creator has directed the video for "The Suburbs", the entrance—and exit—door to a maze-like, multi-layered album inspired by Win Butler's childhood in the suburbs of Houston, Texas. Spike's video focuses on the life and dreams of an adolescent living on the streets of Houston, and, of course, things then get twisted. We don't quite understand what happens or why to these kids in the video, so it may be this is just a first chapter of what Arcade Fire announced with some grandeur a while ago would be "a science fiction B-movie". Will there be a follow-up?

I am an extreamly active 35 year old female. I wear a size 4, 133pds, 5'6", medium shoulder frame. I have run in over 18 organized half marathons in the past 16 months.
I had a 3 year old boy who stretched the skin on my belly by about an inch. I cannot physically get this skin tighten with diet or exercise. So,after speaking with American Laser Center about it, they reccomended 8 treatments of the VellaShape to help tighten this area. Yes, this was for my own satisfaction and not a weight loss method.
The first treatement was on Friday, 09/09/11, The sucking and heat was tolerable during the first pass, which lasted 20 minutes of back and forth movements.
Apparently, the heat increased for the second 20 minutes session a few minutes later, because as soon as it touched my abdomin, I felt a "Pinch" which I later learned was burn. The technician lifted the machine immiatly and moved to my other side not realizing that she just burned me and put the maching onto my left side and I immiatly relized that i was burned!
She stopped and said that the first pass should be good. I asked for some ice and she said that I would be just fine. Since I was red from the first treatment, the burn was not noticable...but, I felt it.
I went back to show them the burns today (friday was the procedure, today is monday) and they said that once the burn heals they can do an EMatrix procedure on the scar to help that go away. They asked to see my doctors papers for their records and took some pictures. I asked for a refund of the $1000 for the Vellashape treatment...fingers crossed that I see the credit within a few weeks....Pictures are attached.
Probably not a good thing to invest in.

After we were blown away and exhilarated by The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trailer a few months ago – specifically the tease of Karen O and Nine Inch Nails nucleus Trent Reznor teaming up for an unbelievable cover of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song".
Now, the song is here, and thanks to Mr. Reznor we all have the song for free, in its entirety. Head to Head to http://nullco.com/immigrant/ to download the jam now – and trust me, you're going to want this. If you can't get to it for some reason, you can listen at Antiquiet.com.
Reznor fans rabidly anticipate his every release, but with a track record like his it's truly hard to argue against their (our) rationale. He's currently mixing the How To Destroy Angels album in addition to the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo soundtrack, and only Trent knows just how much awesome the future holds…
Reznor had the following to say in a release:
For the last fourteen months Atticus and I have been hard at work on David Fincher's "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo". We laughed, we cried, we lost our minds and in the process made some of the most beautiful and disturbing music of our careers. The result is a sprawling three-hour opus that I am happy to announce is available for pre-order right now for as low as $11.99. The full release will be available in one week – December 9th.
You have two options right now:
VIsit iTunes here where you can immediately download Karen O's and our version of Led Zepplin's "Immigrant Song" when you pre-order the soundtrack for $11.99.
You will also be able to exclusively watch the legendary 8-minute trailer you may have heard about (no purchase necessary obviously). We scored this trailer separately from the film, BTW.
Visit our store here. We're offering a variety of purchasing options including multiple format high-quality digital files, CDs and a really nice limited edition deluxe package containing vinyl and a flash drive.
In addition, RIGHT NOW you can download a six-track, 35 minute sampler with no purchase necessary.
Live the dream and visit both! Atticus and I are very proud of the film and our work, we hope you enjoy.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo opens 12/21 in the US.

Barry Arrington, responding to R. R. Reno's "On the Square" column The Idols of Revisionist Theology , writes:
I suppose we have an obligation to challenge and defeat error wherever we find it, but I sometimes wonder whether we really need to kick every barking dog. Johnstons thesis is self-evidently stupid and incoherent. Should we dignify it (and even to some extent propagate it) by responding to it? Can we not rely on peoples innate common sense to recognize Johnstons blitherings as such?
I ask these questions and then I consider some of the truly outrageous things people believe (e.g., scientology) and I wonder whether it really is necessary to combat even preposterous arguments. Then, on the other hand, if people are gullible enough to believe something like scientology in the first place, it seems that trying to dissuade them through rational argument is quite useless.
Now that Ive gone back and forth on the issue in the course of writing this comment, I see the wisdom of Proverbs 26:4-5 more fully. The answer really is yes we should answer them and no we shouldnt answer them, and which applies when is a matter of wisdom.
It is a very good question, and one those of us who write on such subjects ought to ponder. When you're young, you can't resist responding, because the targets are both important enough to engage (professors, bishops, senior clergymen, popular writers) and often easy to take down. And if you're a male, and almost all apologists are, you're probably testosterone-poisoned too.
You read some "important" work and find a particularly bad argument, or some nonsensical or self-contradictory declaration loftily if not smugly delivered, and feel as if you're holding a long sharp pin in your hand as a over-filled balloon floats by. Or better: you feel as if you'd just rushed the net and your opponent has hit a weak high return that you have to, just have to, smash. It's the right shot to make, and you're going to enjoy the crushing finality of it.
It's especially tempting if you are, as I was once, an Episcopal activist and the people you engage are often the junior varsity team of Protestant liberalism, or even the junior high team. You're at the net a lot watching the weak high return float toward you.
The feeling seems to wear off as you get older, which may indicate maturity, exhaustion, despair, or the demands of middle-aged life (you want to read to your child, the gutters need to be cleaned the heretic can wait). In any case, you think something like "let the dead bury their dead," though with different inflections depending on the reason you're less eager to argue, and you hope with real charity.
But one thing to be said for responding is that many people who read you actually need to hear you. Their innate common sense doesn't protect them sometimes they listen to the "experts" out of simple humility but nor are they so gullible as to be beyond argument. And of course the revisionist or skeptical or liberal position is usually presented in an attractive and plausible way, some use of the appeal of "freedom" being one of the common ways of packaging the innovation.
These people are often, judging from conversations I've had over the years, wavering back and forth, caught between a feeling that their authorities must be right and the feeling that what the authorities are saying just has to be wrong. The mistake may be obvious to you but it is not to them. You may feel you're standing at the night as the weak high return floats toward you, but they feel they're standing at the net having just hit a weak high return to Rafael Nadal who's standing about ten feet away with his racket pulled back.
We don't need to kick every barking dog, because some of them are aged, toothless, Chihuahuas, but we do have to kick more dogs than we want to. (I'm using Mr. Arrington's image, so dog-lovers please don't complain. I love dogs myself.)

Ouidad cut when trying to grow out?
I need some advice on when to get my next haircut. A Ouidad salon opened here last year and after two years of Deva cuts I want to get a Ouidad cut. (I've had one in NYC but that was 10 years ago).
I am also trying to grow my hair out. I cut it to short last year and immediately missed my bsl long curls. I have 3b hair that is now just past my shoulders.
My question is, when should I schedule the Ouidad cut? I am not looking to cut length, but am hoping the Ouidad method will shape my hair better. Should I wait until it grows out a little more? My last trim was in October at a Deva salon.
Any advice is much appreciated!

Treatment of Abdominal Distension by Biofeedback - a Randomized Controlled Trial
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Background: Abdominal bloating is a frequent and bothersome complaint in patients with functional gut disorders without satisfactory treatment to date. Recent data from our laboratory indicate that abdominal distention in these patients is produced by abdomino-phrenic dyssynergia: diaphragmatic contraction associated with abdominal wall relaxation (particularly the internal oblique). In analogy to other clinical situations (e.g. functional outlet obstruction, rumination or aerophagia) behavioral treatment by means of biofeedback might be equally effective in these patients. The investigators hypothesized that abdomino-phrenic coordination and abdominal distention can be controlled by biofeedback techniques.
Aim: to prove the efficacy of behavioural treatment using biofeedback techniques for abdominal distension.
Randomization: Patients will be randomized into biofeedback and placebo groups.
Intervention. Biofeedback: patients will be taught to control abdominothoracic muscular activity by bio-feedback using online electromyography information. Placebo: patients will be given a pill containing placebo medication. Interventions will be delivered in 3 sessions (20 min each) over 10-day period
. Measurements: Sensation of abdominal distension will be assessed by means of graphic rating scales graded from 0 (no perception) to 6 (very intense sensation). The activity of the abdomino-thoracic muscles will be recorded. Abdominal distension will be measured by a metric tape fixed to a non-stretch belt placed over the umbilicus.
Outcomes: Primary outcome: Change in sensation of abdominal sensation. Secondary outcomes: a) changes in thoraco-abdominal activity of the muscular walls; activity of thoraco-abdominal muscles (intercostals, diaphragm, external oblique, internal oblique, upper rectus, lower rectus) will be measured by electromyography; b) changes in girth; abdominal girth will be measured using a nonstretch belt (48mm wide) that is placed over the umbilicus. The overlapping ends of the belt will be adjusted carefully with two elastic bands to adapt constantly to the abdominal wall.

|Official Title:
|Feedback-assisted Treatment of Abdominal Distension - a Randomized Controlled Trial
- Sensation of abdominal distension [ Time Frame: 10 days ]Sensation score measured by 0-6 scales after each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) over a 10-day clinical evaluation period before and after intervention.
- Changes in thoraco-abdominal activity of the muscular walls. [ Time Frame: 10 days ]Activity of thoraco-abdominal muscles (intercostals, diaphragm, external oblique, internal oblique, upper rectus, lower rectus) will be continuously measured by electromyography.
- Changes in girth [ Time Frame: 10 days ]Abdominal girth will be continuously measured using a nonstretch belt (48mm wide) that is placed over the umbilicus and fixed to the skin on the back to prevent slipping. The overlapping ends of the belt will be adjusted carefully with two elastic bands to adapt constantly to the abdominal wall. Measurements will be taken before and at the beginning at the end of each intervention session.

text: In the DK-93 formula on this site, it is stated that Kodelon was paraminophenol hemioxalate. Other sources, such as Anchell's The Darkroom Cookbook call for paraminophenol hydrochloride. Understand that I'm working at or beyond the limits of my chemistry knowledge. The formula weight of paraminophenol hydrochloride is 145.6, and it has one phenol ring. I calculate the formula weight of paraminophenol hemioxalate as 320, with two phenol rings. So we would conclude that two molecules of the hydrochloride version compares to one molecule of the oxalate version, so to convert the 5 g of paraminophenol hemioxalate to paraminophenol hydrochloride, we would multiply by (291.2/320) and get 4.6 g. I'm tempted to round that to 5 g and say the two salts are interchangeable. Does anyone know if I did that right? Thanks.

WASHINGTON (Feb. 13)
Authoritative Egyptian sources, bitterly charging that the Nixon administration has accepted Israel's views of the Middle East situation, have informed newsmen here that Israel must change its outlook before a settlement in the area can be reached. "What is needed is a change in attitude by Israel, by the government, or by new leadership" to effect a fresh approach towards agreement, a high placed Egyptian source declared to a large group of newsmen. "We are not advocating a coup d'etat in Israel," he said, "but an understanding of the realities not of today but of realities in the years to come. Israel's short-term gains could be a long-term loss." The authority appealed directly to Israeli newsmen in the audience "to think of what I said of the long-term loss."
(Diplomatic circles in Jerusalem said today that the Egyptian statements in Washington were nothing more than a reiteration of Cairo's demand for an Israeli withdrawal in exchange for the possibility of negotiations. The circles said that Israel remained ready to negotiate with Egypt without prior conditions but not if a commitment to withdraw is demanded as a condition for talks.)
The source said that the US can continue to play a "tremendous role in bringing reason and sense to Israel." Egypt, he said, "has not foreclosed on a United States role. We are still anxious to find a political solution to the Middle East crisis," he said.
The same source, however, refused to consider face-to-face talks with the Israelis until their government accedes in advance to withdrawal to the June 4, 1967 lines, Israel, the source said, would "dictate" to Egypt in direct talks between them if Israel did not first agree to complete withdrawal. The Egyptian response came to questions by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency's correspondent after the source said that "Egypt wants an honest peace with Israel."
The high Egyptian source said that the US has not yet approached the Egyptians on proximity talks with Israel. He refused to commit himself to such talks for the time being. Israel two weeks ago announced that it would engage in such talks after it said it had received clarifications from the State Department on the American role in those talks. The Egyptian source insisted repeatedly that Israel must agree to complete withdrawal before any movement can be made towards any agreement.

Sony, of all companies, is developing a new type of charging outlet that's described in a report from Ars Technica. It won't be your standard plug with the Sony name, it'll include NFC and RFID technology so it can meter and charge you for your usage. It will tie into Sony's FeliCa smart card system so it can process wireless mobile payments. The technology can manage your usage on a per-user, per-device basis via the Internet. It can even control electricity flow and turn off outlets when there is a brown-out situation.
I can see this technology being used in airports and other public places where the need to charge a device is high. If you need to charge, you can pay to use a Sony outlet or wait and use a public one for free. It could also be used in office buildings or hospitals to manage electricity usage during times of high consumption. Managers could make sure the server system and critical medical equipment stays running, while less important items get turned off. The technology was announced earlier this year by Sony and demoed recently by Tokyo news site DigInfo TV at the recent NFC & Smart World conference in Tokyo.

The presidential race isn't the only game-changing item on the 2012 ballot.
In a handful of states, voters will decide on hot-button issues like same-sex marriage, marijuana legalization and genetically modified food labeling. In some states, competitive races for the governor's office could reset economic policy. While ballot initiatives and gubernatorial races are decided at the state level, their impact could be felt nationwide.
There are 11 gubernatorial elections today, and Republicans have an opportunity to expand the number of governor's offices they occupy to its highest level in decades. Currently, the GOP holds 29 seats, while Democrats hold 20 (there's one independent governor: Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island). Eight of the 11 seats up for grabs today are currently held by Democrats, giving Republicans an opportunity to increase their advantage.
- What to watch for as the House, Senate results come in
- What to watch for as the presidential results come in
In states with ballot initiatives, there are some firsts this year: Voters in a couple of states could legalize recreational marijuana use, setting up an unprecedented fight with the federal government. In other states, voters are likely to approve, for the first time in the nation, a ballot measure to allow for same-sex marriage instead of banning it.
Here's a look at the ballot initiatives and gubernatorial races to watch today:
Washington state's Initiative 502: Marijuana legalization
There are six states this November voting on marijuana-related measures, including three that would buck federal law and for the first time legalize the drug's recreational use at the state level: Washington state, Colorado and Oregon. Washington's Initiative 502 is the most likely to pass.
The measure, like its counterparts in Colorado and Oregon, would legalize, regulate and tax marijuana. A University of Washington poll conducted Oct. 18-31 showed that 55.4 percent of likely voters in the state plan to vote for marijuana legalization while only 37.6 percent plan to vote against the measure. Both major candidates for governor, Republican Rob McKenna and Democrat Jay Inslee, are opposed to I-502.
It's unclear exactly how the federal government would respond if a state chose to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. Seventeen states have, over the past decade and a half, legalized medical marijuana -- also in violation of federal law, which prohibits any use of marijuana. However, it's up to federal officials how to enforce federal laws. In his first presidential campaign, President Obama promised to respect state medical marijuana laws, but his administration has cracked down on hundreds of medical marijuana dispensaries, including some in compliance with state laws.

The seeds of Musicians Institute were originally planted in 1977 as the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT), which was the only school of its kind at the time to offer a practical, experience-based education in contemporary music. The innovative program was developed by Howard Roberts and Pat Hicks, who recruited some of the top player-educators in the U.S. and established a tradition that continues at Musicians Institute today: instructing students with a unique blend of creative, educational and professional talent.
With the addition of the Bass Institute of Technology (BIT) in 1978, the Percussion Institute of Technology (PIT) in 1980, and the Vocal Institute of Technology (VIT) in 1987, the school grew to serve an even greater variety of musicians. Musicians Institute began to be recognized as an innovator in the field of contemporary music education. Located in the epicenter of the entertainment industry—on Hollywood Boulevard, where it still stands today—MI continued to attract students from all over the world, creating an international community of musicians and creative professionals.
In the '90s, Musicians Institute further expanded its programs to match a rapidly changing music industry. The Keyboard Institute of Technology (KIT) was founded in 1991, followed by the Recording Institute of Technology (RIT) in 1993 as well as the Bachelor of Music Degree in 1994. In 2000, two innovative programs were unveiled: the Recording Artist Program (RAP), which offered a combination of artist development, digital recording and music business skills; and the Guitar Craft Academy (GCA), which taught the skills of building and maintaining electric guitars and basses. In 2002, the Music Business Program (MBP) was established to train both musicians and non-musicians in the career skills required for the business side of the industry.
To match the ever-changing music and entertainment landscape of the 21st Century, Musicians Institute has reorganized all its programs into a streamlined, integrated College of Contemporary Music. The School of Performance Studies includes programs for Bass, Drums, Guitar, Keyboard Technology and Vocals; while the School of Entertainment Industry Studies offers programs for Audio Engineering, Guitar Craft, Independent Artist and Music Business. With over three decades of experience, MI is constantly developing new educational and career development initiatives to serve a global music community.

Syracuse, NY -- A Syracuse man is in critical condition tonight after his throat was slit during an assault this afternoon in the residential section of the Downtown YMCA, Syracuse police said.
Matthew Jefski, 41, was found with a large cut across his throat about 12:30 p.m. in his room on the sixth floor of the YMCA residences, 340 Montgomery St., Sgt. Tom Connellan said.
Jefski, who lost a lot of blood, was taken to Upstate University Hospital, Connellan said. Jefski underwent emergency surgery this afternoon to repair the "extensive damage" to his neck and to control the bleeding, Connellan said. He is in critical condition, Connellan said.
It appears the assailant entered Jefski's room and cut his throat, Connellan said. The police department's Crime Scene Unit is processing Jefski's room in hopes of finding clues to the assault, he said. There is no one in custody, but detectives are following up on several leads, Connellan said.
Anyone with any information on the assault is asked to call Syracuse police at 442-5222,

A Quiet Crisis: Enhancing Intellictual Stock at Local Colleges
Dr. Mauro Ferrari covets his position at Ohio State University. A professor of both internal medicine and mechanical engineering, Ferrari occupies the Edgar J. Hendrickson endowed chair in biomedical engineering at OSU. Ferrari is honored by the appointment - it's a tribute to his accomplishments as a scientist and researcher. And, he readily admits, It's also a coup for the university.
Mauro Ferrari: I was brought here, was recruited to this place with the objective of launching a major world class biomedical engineering program that would have as a signature the kind of research activities I am interested in - biomedical, micro and nano-technology in particular.
So what's that got to do with growing the local economy? Plenty, says Dennis Eckart, President of the Greater Cleveland Growth Association. Eckart is one of several business development advocates pushing to establish more endowed chairs, or endowed professorships, especially in the areas of science and technology. The idea, he says, is to attract a superstar, indeed, a supernova - someone at the top of their field who will attract several times his or her salary in research dollars.
Dennis Eckart: That superconstellation, if you will, goes beyond a single star and tends to bring in additional researchers, students wanting to study under particular professors, and it creates frequently a critical mass.
In other words, it creates enough intellectual capital in a particular field to establish the region as a world leader in that field. That, in theory, attracts investors and entrepreneurs who can channel the research into the development of commercial products, creating the kinds of high skill, high wage jobs Ohio needs to revitalize the economy. But would it work? Paul Gottlieb, Interim Director at the Center for Regional and Economic Issues at Case Western Reserve University, doesn't know. All he can say is: it has worked. He cites the city of Austin Texas, where a burgeoning IT industry has grown up around computer chips. Much of the research leading to that came out of the University of Texas.
Paul Gottlieb: In the early 1980s they were trying to get a consortium of firms to make silicon chips. In order to get that consortium the University system decided to create a number of endowed professorships.
The strategy worked well - so well, Gottlieb says - that Austin became a poster child for the successful transfer of university research to practical commercial application. The university brought in top talent, attracted by both the financial rewards and the prestige associated with endowed chairs. The business community quickly gathered around them.
Paul Gottlieb: The endowed professorships were viewed by the companies that would join the consortium and by the federal govt which partially funded it as a carrot to get those companies to go there. So in fact they were used as a very direct location tool, the way you would use a tax abatement to attract a company. The companies are actually demanding it.
The result, Gottlieb says, is a thriving local economy centered around a specialized technology.
Paul Gottlieb: By concentrating that kind of academic firepower on Austin - in the 1990s the city jumped over 31 other cities in per capita income growth. This is unprecedented in the data we've looked at on metro areas.
So the question local leaders and academics are asking is: can the tactic work here? Gottlieb says it could - but it would take a substantial inflow of funding to create enough endowed chairs to have a dramatic impact. The University of Texas got the ball rolling primarily with state money, he says, but such expenditures are a tough sell to lawmakers.in Ohio. Harry Andrist, Director of Research and Graduate Programs for the Ohio Board of Regents, agrees.
Harry Andrist: Conservative fiscal policy would dictate that one not make investments in yough economic times, but there are others of us who would argue that that's exactly when you have to make those investments. Otherwise you enter what called a death spiral - you continually spiral down to a lower level of economic activity. And other states will be eating our lunch, effectively.
But many say hopes are dim for substantial funding from the statehouse. Ohio's Eminent Scholars Program, a state-funded endowment program started in the early 1980s, has received no funding this biennium due to budget woes, and was dormant through most of the 90s as well. The Growth Association's Dennis Eckart advises counting the state out and looking to developing the region's existing assets.
Dennis Eckart: In this case that might be NASA Glenn, Akron and CWRU on fuel cells. There you don't have the supernova, the single monster name that the whole world would gravitate to, but you have a prominent federal research entity and two universities that have independent test beds of already proven success. They just now need to be married and collaborated.
Still, endowed chairs hold a certain fascination for Eckart and others looking at ways to jump-start a new economy - not just for their direct economic potential, but also for their symbolic value. Successful, highly skilled professionals and entrepreneurs are drawn to intellectual centers, the thinking goes, and while Northeast Ohio can take pride in the brain power it has, more would be better. In Cleveland, Bill Rice, 90.3 WCPN News.

synthPond 2.0 Tutorial from zach on Vimeo.
Everyday I am discovering fun musical apps for the iPhone. Imagine taking an iPhone with this app back in time 20 years. I love the gentle sounds synthPond creates but for me to use it in my own style of song I would need to be able to add my own harder sounds.
"synthPond is a relaxing spatial sequencer and audio toy by conceptual new media artist Zach Gage. Unlike a normal sequencer where you place notes on a grid and a moving playhead plays them, in synthPond you place nodes in a field (pond). There are two major types of nodes. Circular nodes release waves at certain intervals. Hard-edged nodes release waves when waves hit them." – apps.stfj.net/synthPond/

AFTER reading the letters in the Banbury Guardian about the extending of the Banbury Mosque I felt compelled to make a comment.
Some months ago I had to take a relative who lives in Merton Street to an appointment. She has difficulty in walking, using a stick or a frame depending on how she is each day.
I had picked her up from her home with no problem, but on our return, unfortunately a Friday lunchtime, we had bother trying to drive along Merton Street and then had to park in Causeway and walk back to her home.
As we turned into Merton Street we had to walk down the middle of the road as the footpaths were all blocked by vehicles while the drivers were at Friday prayers.
Now that Causeway is closed and more traffic, including the B7 bus, goes down Merton Street, an extension plus the resulting extra traffic can only cause more problems.
Can I also ask if Margaret Ferriman, chairman of Banbury & District Racial Equality Council, lives in Merton Street or has bothered to go down on a Friday lunchtime and see the problem that residents are complaining about?
Name and address
I FEEL that the objections to the proposed extension to Banbury Mosque have nothing to do with traffic or parking and everything to do with ignorance and prejudice.
I would be very interested to see whether the same objections were raised if this application was for a church.
Surely we should be encouraging diversity and the freedom to worship according to individual choice.
On the topic of the Adderbury Cheshire Home site (Banbury Guardian, December 6), I wonder what is wrong with Cllr Mitchell. Here we have an obvious brownfield site for housing.
His comment that this housing might attract people from outside the area is beyond belief. Taken to its logical conclusion no new people would ever be allowed to move into the village. People are desperate for affordable housing and perhaps a two-bedroomed apartment would fall into that category.
The implication that Adderbury is only for a certain kind of person represents a shocking attitude for someone who is supposed to represent our interests.

I am on something of a restricted budget (I own a pub and most of my money goes into doing things to it) so cannot afford a nice new 10x8 camera. I have noticed the russian 18x24cm FKD camera going quite cheaply on a certain auction site and wondered if anyone had used one - are they any good. Also, I cannot find a supplier of 18x24 film in the UK. Is there one? Many thanks for your help

Tired of boring, expensive, set conferences? Want to participate in a conference that functions more like twitter and less like a text book? This is the very first un-conference to be held here at Humphrey, and a great way to participate with the community instead of being spoke at for a day.
Who: From great people in government, community organizations, and technology start-ups to "everyday citizens" who happen to be software developers, social media experts, open government advocates, and students, everyone is welcome.
What is an Un-conference: An unconference is a participant-driven meeting. Instead of a traditional conference with high fees, sponsored presentations, and boring presentations, this is participant decided.
Why: In a world of scarce public resources, how do we take advantage of the "2.0″ online, social media, and open source world to help build awesome local communities?
How can we connect the interested public with 2.0 skills to work with government, community groups, neighborhood associations, local ethnic associations, and more?
How can our local communities be bold, inclusive, open, accessible, wired and darn right innovative when bottom-up connects with top-down for collaboration?
How: Come together. Name things people want to learn about/discuss in relation to the topics at hand. Have breakout sessions about these topics that function as discussions with people of all abilities/exposures/backgrounds. Come back together and sum up what was discussed/learned/explored.
Where/When: November 12th, 9a-3p at the Humphrey. Lunch included. Followed by Happy Hour.

SXSW Day Two: Pool Sessions in Full Effect. See what others didn't get to see!
So, I didn't plan to be up until 4 a.m. filing photos, which didn't load overnight, so I woke up bright and early and re-filed them for that last-minute Pitchfork assignment. I'm guessing there are a ton of people on network in the wee hours trying to file their stories/media"¦that, or too many people are watching porn. Either way, I'm up five hours later and it's Thursday, time for our SXSW POOLS SESSIONS!!!! After weeks of Andrew Gill and I planning this day, it has finally arrived! Thanks to La Quinta Hotel Capitol for letting us usurp their pool for these sessions. First thing about this plan that worried me was coordinating nine artists to be interviewed and to play a song or two in half-hour segments. If one arrives late, the rest goes by the wayside. Amazingly, our first band, Pretty Good Dance Moves, arrives an HOUR EARLY. Yay to timely artists, boo to me not having hit the shower yet. These sessions ended up running more smoothly than the rest of SXSW, which says a lot about the talent who came together to make this happen in the midst of all their multiple show schedules. Since you'll be able to watch all the sessions here on the blog (and you should watch: we had inspired, and completely exclusive performances), I thought I'd share some of what you didn't see and preview some of the ones that aren't up yet. It'll be like VH1's "Behind the Music," only without any drugs or alcohol (but perhaps including a few hangovers).' I can't speak for Andrew, but I can say this whole day comprised some of the most special performances I caught at SXSW 2010. It was like having our own private pool concert in the Austin sun and it ruled. Thanks to all of the artists for participating. Pretty Good Dance Moves played their first-ever live acoustic song for us. The group is electronica-based, so they worked hard to mine their back catalog for a song to offer up at our SXSW Pool Sessions. They practiced in their van for another hour before they performed, and as you can see, they pulled it off swimmingly.
Literally living on the road in his car, the by-way-of-Elgin, IL roaming troubadour Paleo stopped in for a couple songs. He spent a full year, from 2006-2007, writing a new song every day and dubbed the project "The Song Diary." Tune in to see his performance and interview to find out about his cassette-only releases as well as some other future work coming out soon. He says he's looking for happiness, and brought a purple ball, which made him happy today.
Ezra Furman is no stranger to us. This talent hails from Evanston, and he and I chatted about his debut, Banging Down the Doors, for Eight-Forty-Eight. Two years and another album later, he has a number one hit in Austria ("Take Off Your Sunglasses"), embarked on making 200 personalized songs for fans, and is scouting for a label. Tune in for the interview and a couple tunes, one of which was my fave from his last album, Inside the Human Body.
Alex White simply rocks, as does her brother Francis. The two have been in separate bands for a while, but the siblings released their eponymous White Mystery full-length album two days ago. What you didn't see is the duo hanging out to watch the performances prior to theirs and share their buttons (some with clips of their own hair inside). These were our only acoustic performances played on an electric guitar.
The last time I spent time with Joe Pug we were riding around in a van all over Chicago while he taped private shows for fans. The story ran on Eight Forty-Eight. Flash forward and he has released another EP. His friends in Skybox just released a new album as well. Managed by the same guy, the artists are friends and they grab the mic to interview each other before their performances.
Horse Feathers may not have a Chicago connection, but they do have a beautiful sound. Justin Ringle was joined by a brand-new band for his achingly gorgeous song performances. Horse Feathers' third full length, Thistled Spring, will be released in April on Kill Rock Stars.
Austalian-bred Via Tania now lives in Chicago, but spends portions of the year in her native land. She recently shot a video for the song she performed for us, "Fields," in Australia and in other Chicago-related news, she is being booked by the Windy City's own Windish Agency. I interviewed her in-depth for an Eight Forty-Eight preview of her show at Schubas on April 2nd. Tune in next week to Eight Forty-Eight to check it out. She'll be playing with Iceland's Seabear, who were a part of my Iceland coverage for Eight Forty-Eight (I love them, and Iceland). Unfortunately, I missed Seabear during their U.S. debut at SxSW, but I'll see them here.
Anni Rossi is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist living in Humboldt Park (after growing up in Minneapolis and living in Los Angeles). She has a new album planned for the spring, of which Andrew and I received a private preview of the song "Candyland" from it where she plays her viola like a guitar. It was awesome. You can see her equally beautiful performance of "Wheelpusher," from her album released last year, Rockwell.
Stay tuned here to see all of these performances as well as more interviews from our SxSW Pool Sessions.


text: Ok , So im trying to turn on my Portable Wifi Hotspot for my android phone. And whenever I click Turn On. A message appears and says "to enable portable hotpot on this phone, go to att.com/mywireless " . So I went there and signed up and everything. Now it says I have to link the account I made ( At&t Account) , to my At&T Wireless Account and enter my Wireless number ... and I dont even know what that is ! So can someone please show me where I can get a Wireless Account and Number ?


text: I primarily shoot medium format. Tmax 100, Tmax 400, HP5 and Panf 50. I had a bulk roll of 35 mm PanF Plus, a Nikon F100 with a 35 to 70 2.8 Nikon lens and decided to shoot it up. I developed a couple of rolls in Xtol and thought the base + fog to be high. Thinking that maybe my bulk roll was aged I bought another. Same issue. Shot a roll of 35mm FP125, same issue. Shot a roll of HP5, same issue. Delta 100 same issue, base + fog is high. To rule out the camera and lens I pulled a couple of feet off of the bulk roll of PanF in the dark, loaded a reel and developed same in Xtol. My densitometer gave me a reading of 0.36. I developed a roll of HP5, Tmax 100 and Delta 100 in Xtol, base + fog for all 0.08 to 0.1. Does 35mm have a higher base + fog than 120 ?

AR Complete and Fired!
Finally finished my AR assembly yesterday and took it out today! Assembly was surprisingly easy, not a single spring launched or small bit scrounged for.
Parts List:
YHM Black Diamond Specter XL Complete Upper
New Frontier Armory Stripped Lower
PSA LPK w/o FCG and Ergo Grip
PSA Buffer Tube Assembly
Geissele SSA Trigger
Magpul MOE Stock
Only one malfunction, a failure to feed, which occurred after the first shot was fired. I was a bit worried I did something wrong in assembly or something of that nature. However after the rest of the magazine and all subsequent magazines fired without a hitch, I figured it just had first round jitters.
I finally got to see what all the fuss is about in relation to ARs. It is just plain fun to shoot. Also I was pleasantly surprised that it makes a nice pile of brass that's not in the next county.
I can't really review it since I'm new to the platform. However, there are a couple of parts I'd like to comment on. The trigger, while I've never shot a stock AR trigger, the SSA is fantastic as far as general trigger characteristics. Ergo grip, again can't compare it to others, but I really like the feel of it and the way it fits my hand.
All in all, I ended up spending a bit more than I had planned, but if the first 100 rounds is any indication, I'll be shooting this frequently and for a long time to come.

Nice looking gun and you built her out of good stuff.
Remember this about ARs:
They like to be clean
They like to be well lubricated (bolt & Bolt Carrier).
IMHO, Safariland CLP is the best.

I have purchased the SSA-E and the SSA.... both are great, but I would stick with the SSA for the money on anything that may be used as a battle type rifle. The SSA-E is great, but I think it's just a little bit too light for a fighting gun... but excellent for precision shooting.
Good looking gun. I was a fan of the Ergo grip when I started as well, but I moved to the Magpul MIAD. I just found it to be even more comfortable, even though it doesn't have the rubberized coating. If that's something you want, check out the MOE+
I also recommend the Magpul AFG. Very comfortable shooting.
Congrats on the build!

Nice build.
How does the New Frontier Armory lower fit with the YHM upper?
And how well did you shoot?

The upper is YHM, but yes the I got the aluminum stripped lower not the polymer one.
They seems to fit together well, no glaring issues that I am aware of. Both parts went together easily. I am not sure I am capable of noticing some of the finer points as this is my first AR, so if something minor is wrong, I don't know that its wrong. lol
I shot pretty poorly. I was standing, shooting from 40-50 yards, and kept everything in the black on a B-27 silhouette. I also shot my bowling pins a bit at around a 20% hit rate. I can hopefully do better. I was kind of just letting the shots fly to make sure it works, and I have not benched it and zeroed it yet.
But even after I get to a real range and zero it, I'll still be a mediocre shot for awhile.

The reason I asked about the fit is because sometimes some uppers and lowers don't go together well.
Also, I was curious as to how accurate the YHM barrels are as I am in the process of collecting the parts (all YHM major components) to my next build.
Shooting offhand is tough. I've been practicing with mine and I'm not even close. It does help a lot when I use a sling.
Safe shooting.

Hopefully next week I'll make it to the county range and be able to shoot it off the bench at a known distance. I can post an update afterwards with a better idea of the rifle's capabilities once I take out the "me" factor to a greater degree.

Only one way to cure mediocrity: a whole lot of shooting. It will be difficult, I know, but it's the only way. If that means going shooting every weekend, then so be it.
Congrats on the build!

My Macmillan
My saved pages
Hello everyone - my first post here!
My 42 yr-old sister was diagnosed in April with adenocarcinoma of the bowel and subsq' secondaries have been found in her liver, lungs and lymph glands. She has had the tumour removed but is also suffering with clots on her lungs (post-op) and a debilitating loose cough - and is due to start her chemo' Tuesday - today she went for her pre-chemo checks and they rang this afternoon to say that due to raised enzymes she cannot now have the part of her chemo' (Xelox) that involves taking tablets at home for 2 weeks and INSTEAD must have a permanent line inserted at her elbow and have a 48 hour treatment by bag every two weeks. Having done some research this seems to be a PICC line??? It seems her liver couldnt support the capitezibine(?) tablets in its current state.
Does this mean her liver secondaries are worse than thought? Is this new option an inferior treatment...ie: does it reduce her chances ? We know she is stage 4 and cannot be cured but we are hoping for a few years!!!!!!!!!!!!
We just seem to get bad news every other day!
Hi Pooky,
Really sorry to hear about your sister. I can only comment on what I have learnt from my Mums treatment for bowel cancer that has spread to liver, lungs and lymph nodes. Read my lengthy (!!!) profile if you want to know more about my Mums diagnosis and treatment.
Her first line chemo was CAPOX every 3 weeks - oxaliplatin on a iv drip and then capecitabine tablets, twice a day for 2 weeks. Capecitabine converts to 5FU once in your body. Unfortunately this treatment did not work so we are about 3 cyclesin of a planned 6 to a second line treatment FOLFIRI every 2 weeks - irinotecan and folinic acid on an iv through a Hickman or Central lie in her chest ( more about that in a minute) and then a little battery pack pump of 5FU that she goes home with and lasts for about 48hrs before it needs to be removed by district nurse at home.
She was supposed to have a PICC line in her arm but they had probs finding a suitable vein as her veins were quite small and thin so in the end they gave up and decided to do a HICK in her chest instead. Both sound horrid but you soon get used to them.
To best of my knowledge your sister is not being 'short changed' by having the 5FU intravenously instead of cape tablets. Sorry - I have no idea why if the liver function is not 100% then its better for the body to have 5FU intravenously - maybe its just easier for the body to cope with, chemical reaction etc
I hope this helps, feel free to contact me anytime.
Big positive hugs to you and your sister, keep your chin up
Louise xx
Thanks Louise - that has helped alot!
In my sisters case she had her abdominal pain put down to IBS - her age is 42 so that clearly didnt help (too young) No family history we are aware of ! When the pain came again she was hospitalised with poss' appendicitis. A scan showed 'fluid in the bowel' but nothing developed from there. Her pain passed and she went back to work only revisiting her GP when the lumps came up in her neck. Her GP thought them of no concern and said come back in a week - she did and it blossomed from there quite rapidly!!
We are looking into Avastin but i have to admit the cost is prohibitive - i understand ther emay be a NICE review with Roche reducing their price but will it be soon enough???
My sister, my 76yr-old Mum (who herself is recovered from Non-Hodgkins 6 years ago & a stroke last year) and myself had a lovely day shopping in Derby yesterday - sis had a Motability scooter and it made all the difference! I had a real wobble when, at one stage whilst sitting outside a changing-room whilst they were giggling inside, i realised that i am going to loose both of them in the not-to-distant future!! Must stay positive!!
Glad I could be of help.
Re Avastin, we also looked into funding it ourselves, we not wealthy just ordinary working family but as a family we were going to collectively club together.When we first enquired just before Mum started chemo we were told nothing to lose by delaying to see if the NHS treatment worked first. Unfortunately this proved incorrect as the CAPOX did not work and during this treatment the cancer actually spread more to the peritoneum and to add Avastin now would be too risky as one of the side effects can be small tears to the bowel wall and with the mets now there, we ere advised against it. I don't want to scare you but if you want to and can fund Avastin do it sooner rather than later.. wish we had, as now have that devil on my shoulder saying would we be in a stronger position now if we had.
I did a lot of research into funding private treatment alongside NHS treatment to keep costs down so please shout if you have any questions I can help with.
Re what the future holds, I just wish I didn't know, getting a cancer diagnosis just seems to rob you of living a 'normal' life with a que sera sera attitude .. but after a year of living like this I've learnt life doesn't stop here and now, tomorrow is another day to live life to the full as much as possible.
Let me know how your sister gets on - she on same treatment plan as my Mum and she had 8 cycles so if I can give you any tips on what made things easier for Mum be glad to help

Would You Invite Anthony Tolliver Over For Dinner?
If you're an NBA junkie (you're reading this, so that's a check), then you probably peruse HoopsHype's rumors page several times a day. If that's the case then Anthony Tolliver's smiling face must be as familiar to you as that of an old friend. "The Decision" had nothing on what I referred to as "The Summer of Anthony Tolliver," where HoopsHype breathlessly covered every piece of speculation about his intentions.
Tonight's game at Indiana was Tolliver's opportunity to show that he belongs on the opening night roster, and he made the most of it. Tolliver started and scored 14 points on 6-for-10 shooting with 5 rebounds in 24 minutes, and posted a team-best +10. His hero-ball 3-point attempt with 34 seconds remaining in the game missed and the Pacers held on for a 102-98 victory. But it was still a nice performance for the Hawks as the starting front court of Al Horford and Josh Smith sat this one out.
Among other players without contract guarantees, Damion James and James Anderson each played only 12 minutes. Anderson again failed to make an impact on the box score, while James posted 5 points and, get this, 8 rebounds. I have raved about James' defensive impact, but I don't know if it's so much his on-ball defense as it is the number of opponents' offensive possessions that he terminates with a defensive rebound (he's averaging almost 5 per game in the preseason).
Lou Williams shot the ball better, leading the team with 18 points on 6-for-14 shooting and again leading the team in free throw attempts (5-for-6). Mike Scott again failed to look like an NBA player, shooting 2-for-9 and posting a team-worst -14. I simply cannot understand why Danny Ferry promised a roster spot to a defensively-challenged volume shooter on a team loaded with them. Against San Antonio, Scott was absolutely torched by Josh Powell, whom multiple NBA front office-types considered the worst player in the NBA when he played for the Hawks.
And I love Ivan Johnson to death, but somebody has got to tell my dude to calm down. He did a bit of jawing with Roy Hibbert, and some sort of minor altercation with an opposing team's center is becoming a nightly occurrence The Hawks coaching staff needs to sit him down and explain that footage of his behavior is being distributed among NBA refs as we speak, and they will be specifically instructed to pay him the kind of attention that is not beneficial to the team.
It's 13 days and 21 hours until the tip-off of the regular season. Anybody else looking forward to games that count?
3 comments:
I just want so bad for the Hawks to prove this awkward feeling in my gut about them wrong. I think this is the season it happens. Please let this be the running, passing, dunking and high energy team in all aspects of the game they are built to be.ReplyDelete
And thank you Buddy for keeping me engaged during this watershed offseason.ReplyDelete
Thanks for reading, Barton. And I think you may get your wish if the last two games are any indication. I think the Hawks are going to blow out a lot of lesser teams. The Hawks may not have any more success against the elites than they did last year, but the offensive numbers are going to look really nice if they win a bunch of games by 20.ReplyDelete

GOP, Democrats split over political fallout for Christie
By Angela Delli Santi, AP Tuesday, January 14, 2014, 12:03 am TWN
TRENTON, New Jersey--Prominent Republicans leapt to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's defense on Sunday, insisting that an ongoing traffic scandal wouldn't ruin any presidential ambitions, while Democrats say it's difficult to believe such a hands-on manager knew nothing about a plan by a top aide to close lanes at a bridge into New York City.
Politicians from both sides of the aisle took to the Sunday television talk shows to debate the fallout from the traffic jams near the George Washington Bridge in September and any role Christie may have played. Documents show Christie's aides appeared to engineer lane closures at the heavily traveled bridge for political retribution.
Christie has been considered an early front-runner for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination after a landslide re-election victory last November in which he drew considerable support from traditional Democratic constituencies in New Jersey. But just two months later his political prospects have taken a hit as emails were made public implicating some of his top aides in the bridge traffic scandal.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus told NBC's "Meet the Press" that Christie could move past the scandal and still win support from primary voters in the 2016 presidential race.
He said Christie demonstrated leadership by holding a lengthy news conference Thursday to apologize for the scandal, the most serious challenge to his political career, and to disavow any knowledge of its planning.
"America's a forgiving people, but they're forgiving when you take ownership, you admit mistakes, you take corrective action, and that's what Chris Christie showed," Priebus said.
Christie said he was "embarrassed and humiliated" by the conduct of some of his staff, including top aide Bridget Anne Kelly, whom he fired after learning she gave the go-ahead to close several lanes approaching the bridge. Christie said he was "blindsided" by the revelations, which he said he discovered when subpoenaed emails were released last week.
Assemblyman John Wisniewski, a New Jersey Democrat leading the legislative investigation into the traffic jams, told CBS' "Face the Nation" there's no evidence Christie was directly involved in the traffic tie-up. But he said the governor didn't have to know about the lane closures for them to be a crime.
"When you use the George Washington Bridge for what the emails show to be a political payback, that amounts to using public property for a private purpose or for a political purpose, and that's not legal," Wisniewski said.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Republican, said on ABC's "This Week" that he found Christie's explanation "pretty darn credible" that he didn't know what members of his inner circle were up to while he was running for re-election.
