Name a song you are positive is nobody in the world's favourite song.
Think carefully, I will be conducting a survey:
Brian McFadden - Real To Me
- still_here, SCROTUM, no-class, and andyvine this'd this
Gangnam Style
*checks SXSW music feed. gets angry. calls bullshit with a side order of inverse snobbery*Steved this'd this
Happy Birthday To You
seems odd, but it's a fact.
thinly veiled...
- shrewbie, JaguarPirate, politelydeclined, iizcallum, gonad, and ethricdouble this'd this
Some people might like it, find it funny, or have some kind of nostalgic thing about it.
But surely it cant be anyones favourite song ever.
- foxhawk, ethricdouble, and Antelope this'd this
I saw an old shipwreck once
that someone had spray painted something like
I was gonna control this ship
But then I got high
(or something to that effect).
Fun time.
Cardiacs - The Breakfast Line
Just because it's a really shit song by an otherwise excellent band.
viva brother
false alarm.
Bentcousin - Bent Paper Boy
Total fucking dogshit
Eiffel 65 - Blue
Actually, this probably is someone's favorite song.
- untrue and JaguarPirate this'd this
- untrue, JaguarPirate, SCROTUM, ThisTemporaryLife, sidrrrs, and Antelope this'd this
Do any of you have a favourite song?
Mines changes from week to week-dan- this'd this
C*** by Cannibal Corpse
Up until the saxophone solo, it has this shimmering, jangly peach of a melody with some of the most beautiful poetry ever committed to record. But when the sax kicks in, it all goes downhill.ThirstyDog this'd this
I came onto this thread to post that very song. Sick minds think alike.
Hanging Around by Me Me Me
Reached no 19 in 1996. No-one's favourite song ever.
Thats like all the worst things about Britpop rolled into one. Hard to think one of the guys who wrote it was partly responsible for This Is A Low.
This song has an excellent rhythmcal sence.
Surelly,he affects many people.
His imajination is infinity? great.
Radiohead - Fitter Happier
That's nobody's favourite song, and that there is the bottom line.sunstroke_house this'd this
It's probably Gary Glitter's favourite song
given the royalties he's been earning off it since 1995. That's an awful lot of Haribo.
Husker Du - The Baby Song
indie cop-out answer yeah but i literally cannot conceive how someone could think its a good song, let alone the best song ever. especially coming from such a clearly naturally gifted songwriter as grant hart. i guess its a throwaway.

Today's readings are filled with vivid contrasts. Throughout Lent, we heard about apostles and disciples who were confused and conflicted. At the darkest hour, the head apostle failed to be the rock he was chosen to be. Peter, having denied Jesus a third time, "went out and began to weep bitterly" (Lk 22:62). That must have been a moment of incredible shame for Peter.
Compare that frightened man with the confident apostle who emerged from the upper room and preached to the crowds in Jerusalem on the feast of Pentecost: "Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed ..." (Acts 2:14). Only weeks earlier, he was frightened of being associated with Jesus. Now, before peoples of many nations, he proclaims the risen Christ: "This man, delivered up by the set plan and foreknowledge of God, you killed, using lawless men to crucify him. But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it."
Those are bold words. "He, who could not endure the questioning of a poor girl," stated St. John Chrysostom, "now discourses with such great confidence in the middle of people all breathing murder upon him." And then the great Greek Father remarks: "This in itself became an indisputable proof of the Resurrection."
There is no reasonable natural explanation for the change. The reason, of course, was supernatural: "For wherever the Holy Spirit is present, people of clay are changed into people of gold." The Holy Spirit had confirmed what God the Father had accomplished through the Son: "God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified" (Acts 2:36).
Peter had once rejected the divine plan and the way of the cross, earning himself a harsh rebuke (Mt 16:21-23). The contrast here is also vivid: While Peter had once spurned God's audacious plan of sacrifice and death, he eventually professed and confessed it — strongly and publicly. "God raised this Jesus; of this we are all witnesses," Peter said, "Exalted at the right hand of God, he received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father and poured him forth, as you see and hear." That is not the language of dialogue or proposition, but of decision and proclamation. The Gospel is not a suggestion, but a firm invitation to make a choice: to believe in the risen Lord, Jesus Christ, or to turn away into darkness.
The contrast is also evident in Peter's first epistle. Many of his readers had converted from pagan background; Peter referred to their previous lives of "futile conduct, handed on by your ancestors ...;" the pagan gods and ways could not provide real hope and salvation. "Perishable things like silver and gold" will fade in the face of death and judgment. In contrast, "the precious blood of Christ as of a spotless unblemished lamb" is the only means by which everlasting communion with God can be restored.
The Gospel provides the same contrast. While the disciples spoke of the death of Jesus, the risen Christ joined them; yet they were blind to "the truth concerning" Jesus' life and death (cf. Lk 1:4). Jesus walked with them, spoke with them and then broke bread with them — which is why they later told the others how Christ "was made known to them in the breaking of bread." They were transformed and made anew. Once people of clay, they were changed into people of gold.

by Punchy » Thu Sep 05, 2013 7:44 amI wasn't initially planning on picking this book up, because I dropped Lobdell's Superman, but I like Bizarro, so, what the hell. Interestingly this story wasn't really about Bizarro himself, but instead about his creator, Lex Luthor. It seems like DC are going back to basics with Bizarro, no square-shaped Earth full of opposites, just a clone of Superman gone wrong.
This issue is written by Sholly Fisch, who did a good job of writing the various back-up stories during Grant Morrison's Action Comics run, so it was cool to see him revisit those stories for this issue. We open with a flashback to Morrison's run, where we see how Luthor gets his hands on Superman's DNA, and then we see him attempt to use it to create his own Superman that he can control. Of course, it goes wrong and Lex has to fight an out of control monster. It turns out that combining Superman's DNA with a human won't work, so he'll have to do a straight-up clone, and that's where the issue ends, with a mysterious clone floating in a tank labelled 'B-0', which seems to indicate Bizarro.
It looks like this story will continue in Forever Evil, as I suspect with Superman 'dead', Lex will have to use Bizarro to go up against Ultraman. That's another problem with these Villain's Month comics, you don't know how they connect to other comics, some of them are continuing ongoing plots (and not always for the book they are numbered for), some are tied-in directly with the crossover, and others are just standalone stories, and you don't know what's what until you slap down your $4, it's confusing.
But anyway, this was a decent story, Fisch gets the world of Superman, and I'm excited to see what Bizarro is like when he does finally appear, I think this more stripped-down, Byrne-era approach works better for me than the Silver-Age nonsense. The art here comes from Jeff Johnson, who I'm not familiar with, but he does an OK job, with some interesting panel layouts, but it was nothing amazing.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Thu Sep 05, 2013 8:28 pmI thought this was competent and well-written. It's hard not to have a soft spot for Silver Age Bizarro though!

by Garofani Spruzzo » Fri Sep 06, 2013 8:13 am
It was light praise, I figured I should at least give it a read before I flip it and I found it competent and well-crafted in comparison to most of the other Villains books I've read this week.
So far the Count Vertigo book was a real surprise, though, it was head-and-shoulders above the rest that I've read.
And soon I'll have read all the VM specials.

Every Sony studio is working on PS4 titles
Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida has confirmed that every single one of its owned studios is working on PS4 software.
A surprise? Perhaps not, but there are implications to the news.
Firstly, it means that gamers can maybe expect less in the way of PS3 and PS Vita titles than they would have done otherwise. It also could mean that Vita titles such as Tearaway, which is in development at LittleBigPlanet dev Media Molecule, might take a little longer to materialise.
Secondly, and more excitingly, it points to some possibly exciting news in the near future. As IGN points out, are we correct to infer that Naughty Dog must therefore be working on Uncharted 4? And Polyphony Digital on Gran Turismo 6?
And what of the likes of Guerrilla Cambridge, Studio London, Sony Santa Monica and Sony San Diego?
Of course, we already have confirmation of three PS4 titles from Sony studios – Killzone: Shadow Fall from Guerrilla Games, DriveClub from Evolution Studio and InFamous: Second Gun from Sucker Punch.
If nothing else we can at least safely conclude one thing – E3 could be very big for Sony.

(Gettysburg) -- Civil War re-enactors love pulling on wool uniforms, drawing their period rifles and acting out authentic battle scenes.
But eventually, someone's going to have play dead.
Enthusiasts say determining who dies, and when, is one of the toughest decisions.
Some re-enactors who travel long ways would prefer not having to get shot early on in a re-enactment.
There are different ways to figure out who's going to die. Some units will draw slips of paper with different scenarios.
Some will insert black cartridges into soldiers' ammunition boxes. A black cartridge means that soldier goes down.
Other times, re-enacting units will write out scripts.
Or, simply, tired re-enactors will just choose to get wounded and fall to the ground.

The time period for gathering signatures on our petitions will soon end. Once the Ohio Secretary of State certifies that we have collected more than 231,000 registered voters' signatures, S.B. 5 will be placed on the ballot in the November General Election and be subjected to the citizens' veto.
Teachers, firefighters and police officers are some of the highest-trusted professionals in the United States. Despite this fact, we will be the target of an expensive and ugly political propaganda war waged by our enemies specifically designed to discredit us.
Soon, we will encounter ads on television, radio, the Internet and in print that will portray us as a lazy and opportunistic privileged class, unwilling to share the economic pain of the private sector. Our enemies will say that they are simply trying to fix Ohio and save the middle class, but they can't because we stand in their way.
What our enemies will say about us will make our blood boil. As these attacks begin, it is only natural to want to blindly strike back in response, to do something, anything, in defense of our profession. We must take care not to burn ourselves out before the real battle begins. We must be strategic, measured and stay on message during the fight for our lives.
Take heart in the fact that we have been entrusted with that which is most precious to all Ohioans–their children. In the coming months, do not become discouraged and do not despair. We are all in this together. We will emerge victorious. We are CEA.

My favorite is a tie between talonflame and greninja because both have been vicious I mean my wiseglasses greninja has swept or nearly swept a few times and TF became an insta threat.
My question to you guys is what would u rate Pokémon x and y overall as a pokemon game on a grading scale of A-F A being the highest F being the lowest I give it a Low C

Question for those knowledgeable in using GTS, is there a way to check the nature/abilities of the pokemon on GTS?
I've been wanting to get a Chimchar with Iron Fist, but all offers I have checked want a legendary in return. If I trade a legendary, I want to make sure that the Chimchar I receive is not some breeding reject with Blaze.
Also, how does deposit work?
I've deposited quite a few pokemon, waited 10-20 minutes or sometimes just left it deposited over the night with 3DS off, does it require you to stay online to receive the pokemon or can you receive it the next time you go onto the GTS?

You can't check nature/abilities on the GTS, so beware of BS lies in those little blurbs people put up.
Since you can't control what you get, when I want something specific, I try and set things up so that only like-minded people will respond. Example: if I want something foreign or with a lot of max IVs, I'll breed a lvl 1 poke with some IVs and set it up for a lvl 1-10 poke in return and put up a blurb asking for the specific region. Often my counterpart is a breeder who is thinking along similar lines.
For you, Chimchar/Chimchar trades may work if you give it a few tries. You can request a hidden ability, but I wouldn't bother advertising anything about your own Chimchar because someone desperate might snap it up.
Of course, you can bypass all this complicated nonsense if you ask on trusted forums with the right people. Myself, I haven't tried going for a HA Chimchar yet.

All you have to do is register a Nintendo 2DS, 3DS, or 3DS XL system and one "qualifying game" between March 1 and March 31. You'll need to redeem the X/Y code by March 31, as well.
Games that qualify for the offer include Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins, and Yoshi's New Island, which hits stores on March 14.
I never registered my 3DS XL or copy of Super Mario 3D Land, so I can get a very good game for free! Which one should I get, guys? Which is the better one?

Which is better, X or Y? Ugh.... depends on what you think is most important: unique mega evolution stones, easy access to cover legendary, easy access to version exclusive pokes, etc. I guess it's the version-exclusive mega evolution stones that are hardest to get.

I've not really gone far, actually. I'm at a place called Laverre city, spent most of my time breeding for wonder trading and GTS'ing, so that's as far as my online interactions have been. So if you do challenge me to a battle, I might end up throwing a bunch of lvl 1 Chespins at you
Wonder trading has been so fun though. Someone from Japan actually dumped a Giratina on me

Before the advent of the 3rd Generation games remake hits stores on November, my thoughts for the sixth generation games after a year of gameplay are the best.
X and Y feel like the Gold & Silver of their respective era or generation save that the former have far better enhancements and multiple loads of different stuff, IMO. While before purchasing the games I initially held poor opinions concerning the Mega stones and Mega evolution tropes and dynamics, I ended loving the whole concept after using them in battle.
As of right now, I have a 3DS hand-held console and a 2DS console, playing X and Y games respectively in each of them.
For my X game, I'm only missing defeating the Elite Four + the Champion, find the missing mega stones, and catching the remaining in-game Legendaries.
I'm only missing Zygarde to finish up the entirely Kalos Pokedex, and I have obtained (mostly through trade via Wonder Trade and GTS, then through using the trial version for both the PokeBank and PokeTransporter) all previous five generations Pokemon that aren't Legendaries; only needing to evolve those who can evolve.
As for my Y game, I'm very far, far behind having beaten recently the 2nd Gym, and still getting Pokemon from trades and in-game.
Furthermore, I've been participating getting Pokemon from the announced events:
1. The Poke-ball pattern Vivillon
2. The special Heracross (X game)
3. The special Pinsir (Y game)
4. The super size Pumpkaboo
5. The shiny Mega Gengar (with Gengarite)
.... And, three days ago, for the first time in any pokemon game that I have played, I got the special code event that allowed me to obtain Diancie; a first time for me in any Pokemon game.
Thanks that the special event was also brought to my country.
Only Legendaries so far that I've gotten are:
1. Celebi (PokeBank trial version event)
2. Registeel (got from Wonder Trade)
3. Cresselia (traded from GTS)
4. Phione (traded from GTS)
5. Victini (transferred from my Pokemon Black game)
6. Xerneas (caught in-game X)
7. Yveltal (traded from GTS)
8. Diancie (obtained from special event)

Alain Vigneault named Jack Adams Award finalistby Staff Writer / Vancouver Canucks
Vancouver, BC - Dan Bylsma of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Barry Trotz of the Nashville Predators and Alain Vigneault of the Vancouver Canucks are the three finalists for the 2010-11 Jack Adams Award, presented to the head coach who has "contributed the most to his team's success," the National Hockey League announced today.
Members of the NHL Broadcasters' Association submitted ballots for the Jack Adams Award at the conclusion of the regular season, with the top three vote-getters designated as finalists. The winner will be announced Wednesday, June 22, during the 2011 NHL Awards from the Pearl Concert Theater inside the Palms Hotel Las Vegas. The 2011 NHL Awards will be broadcast by VERSUS in the United States and CBC in Canada.
Following are the finalists for the Jack Adams Award, in alphabetical order:
Bylsma, a first-time Adams finalist, helped the Penguins (49-25-8) gain home-ice advantage in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the third consecutive season under his direction, securing the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. The Penguins earned the second-most points (106) and victories (49) in franchise history, overcoming a total of 350 man-games lost due to injury in the process. Most notable were the prolonged absences of star centers Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, who missed most of Pittsburgh's final 35 games. During that stretch Pittsburgh posted a 20-11-4 record for a .629 points percentage.
Trotz guided the Predators (44-27-11) to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the sixth time in the past seven seasons, finishing fifth in the West after the most competitive Conference race in League history. The Predators again employed stingy defense and balanced scoring to finish in the West's top eight; they ranked third in the NHL in team goals-against (2.28) and had their four top scorers (Sergei Kostitsyn, Martin Erat, Patric Hornqvist and Shea Weber) separated by just two points. Trotz is an Adams nominee for the second consecutive season, finishing runner-up to Dave Tippett of the Phoenix Coyotes in 2010 voting.
Vigneault led the Canucks to their finest regular season since joining the NHL in 1970-71, capturing the Presidents' Trophy as the League's top club with 117 points (54-19-9). The Canucks set single-season franchise records for most points, most victories and most road wins (27). They scored the most goals in the NHL (262), allowed the fewest (185), ranked number one in power-play percentage (24.3%) and placed third in penalty killing (85.6%). Vigneault is a third-time Adams finalist; he captured the award with Vancouver in 2007 and finished second with the Montreal Canadiens in 2000.

I kind of hate to reveal this "secret," but for the good of the greater generation and perhaps gender — I suppose I should.
When I worked as a freelancer in the film and television industry, I was almost never hired through job sites or lengthy application processes.
I almost always learned of openings, gained interviews or was even offered positions through informational interviews.
Informational interviews: Also known as networking, meetings over coffee, business lunches, online introductions, etc.
When I started to realize my time was much better spent speaking with someone already higher up than I in the industry — even if it resulted in nothing but a nice afternoon learning about the business — I stopped applying to jobs altogether.
Now, this was not a new concept whatsoever — but regardless of how easy it is now to sit in front of our computers at Starbucks researching companies and applying to current openings, it's much easier to buck up, email someone at the company you're interested in working for, and ask them if you can buy them lunch in exchange for learning more about how they got the job you want, and what you should be doing to be more like them.
CLICK HERE to subscribe to the NJBIZ email newsletter
So when Sally Glick, principal at Sobel & Co. and president of the Association for Corporate Growth in New Jersey, invited me to lunch, I immediately responded, "Yes."
No, I'm not looking for work. (Yes, I love my job at NJBIZ).
No, I'm not interested in accounting or consulting.
But yes — I am always happy to network because I will always be curious about the possibilities.
Good thing I made lunch with Glick a priority — because in more than an hour, I walked away with six additional contacts, more than eight new ideas to research for the blog, an enlightened perspective and a fantastic new networking partner.
I believed our conversation to be so productive that I thought I'd share some of its highlights on "Breaking Glass" in an effort to encourage not only women, but also men, to expand their networks in the same way.
"There isn't 'a man's blog,' because there doesn't need to be," Glick said. A quick Google search for "men in business blogs" results in quotes from "Mad Men," tips on men's fashion for the office, how to write a blog and one extremely interesting read about why men work more hours and why we need to fix that.
Search for "women in business blogs," however, and you're bombarded with articles much like what I post on "Breaking Glass."
That right there, Glick said, proves business is already established as a man's world and why men don't feel the need to converse about continuing men's success in the workforce.
Glick would like to see companies get to a place where diversity quotas cease to exist.
So how do we collectively reach that goal?
Glick says that when women join women's groups within their organizations, they should view and use them as stepping-stones to then join — and focus their time on — collective co-ed business groups within their organizations.
She also hopes that as the generations move forward and continue to assume equality, change will automatically happen.
"The baggage will be gone, but they also need to remember the reality," Glick said.
While most millennial women (like myself) have never faced the years of inequality, gender discrimination, or any real Rosie-the-Riveter dilemmas at work — and therefore see their statuses as more, if not already, equal — Glick warns against complacency.
"Younger women accept things as they are because it comes easy to them," Glick said. "But issues — such as the persistent pay gap — can then fly under the radar."
Glick also said that she still sees a future for women's groups in business because women feel more comfortable sharing issues in them rather than in collective co-ed business groups. Therefore, women's groups will always be available as safe spaces to network and problem-solve.
Glick pointed out that men have been present in the traditional full-time workforce substantially longer than women — so the leaps and bounds women have made in, let's say, 100 years, are huge.
It may not feel that way, however, to the individual wondering why her colleague got a raise or promotion instead of her.
Glick said that overall, women are not moving up the ladder as fast as men.
One reason, she says, is that men may be more likely to back up their salary negotiations with research, while women are more likely to simply say, "Thank you."
So if you feel like that might be true, read this article to learn how to be a better negotiator.
Thank you again to Sally Glick for extending the knowledge, invitation and networking partnership to myself and NJBIZ! Looking forward to many more meetings in the future.

Local lawmakers, parish presidents and hospital officials gathered at Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center in Houma to celebrate as Ochsner Health System and Terrebonne General Medical Center assumed management of the charity hospital Monday.
Local lawmakers, parish presidents and hospital officials gathered at Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center in Houma to celebrate as Ochsner Health System and Terrebonne General Medical Center assumed management of the charity hospital Monday.
The day was the culmination of months of furious work behind the scenes to nail down a public-private partnership to save the hospital in the face of draconian budget cuts that would have stripped Chabert of much of its staff and services.
Chabert was one of four charity hospitals that completed public-private partnership deals Sunday. Others were Walter O. Moss Hospital in Lake Charles, University Medical Center in Lafayette and the Interim LSU Public Hospital in New Orleans.
LSU and Our Lady of the Lake in Baton Rouge completed a deal in April.
The hospitals came together to sign an agreement that will have Terrebonne General Medical Center leasing the hospital building from the state free of charge in exchange for ensuring the 80-bed medical center continues to provide indigent care, while Ochsner runs the day-to-day operations.
In addition, the board of Terrebonne Hospital Service District No. 1, which oversees Terrebonne General Medical Center, formed a subsidiary board, Southern Regional Medical Corp., to help oversee management of Chabert.
The Houma hospital serves many of the area's indigent and uninsured residents. As a part of the deal, the state and parish will provide Medicaid supplemental money aimed to assist hospitals that handle a disproportionate share of indigent or uninsured patients. The managing partners are also prohibited from making cuts of 15 percent or more to the hospitals' budget without legislative approval for the next three years and are prohibited from making any budget cuts of more than 35 percent.
TGMC CEO Phyllis Peoples said the hospital knew it had to step in when Chabert was in crisis because it would be unable to care for the influx of patients it would see if the Chabert closed. In addition, Chabert offers unique services in the region, including an independent medical residency program that was too important to lose.
Michael Hulefeld, executive vice president and chief operation officer of the Ochsner system, said Ochsner has had a history of partnering with the charity hospital. Ochsner resident physicians are trained at Chabert, and the system's doctors have practiced there since 1978. Both the hospital's residency program and charity mission will be maintained through the partnership.
"When we got the call to look into this, it was a natural 'yes,' " he said.
On Sunday, the state civil service board sent out layoff notices to 563 of Chabert's 806 employees.
Hulefeld said last week that the hospital has been working for the past few months to rehire as much of the original staff as possible, and teams have been working at the hospital for the past few months to try to ensure there were few service interruptions.
Gov. Bobby Jindal said in a statement Monday that the agreements will help to improve services at the hospitals and help save taxpayers an estimated $100 million a year.
"In Louisiana, we were faced with the unique challenge of adapting a public-run, statewide charity hospital system to the evolving health care needs of our people. While our one-of-a-kind charity hospital system did tremendous work for decades — successfully serving the people of Louisiana and meeting their health care needs — we recognized that we needed to change the way we operate," Jindal said.
Sen. Norby Chabert, R-Houma, praised the public-private arrangement.
"What we have here is a true public partnership with a private management structure," Chabert said in an emotional speech before a crowd gathered in Chabert's lobby. The hospital was named for his father, the late senator. "We can boldly go forward to ensure that we continue the mission of public hospitals to care for our poorest, sickest and elderly residents."
The partnership was first announced in December after federal Medicaid reimbursement cuts would have slashed more than $14.3 million from Chabert's budget, eliminating 245 jobs, or more than a quarter of its staff. The hospital would have also been forced to close beds and eliminate clinics and services.
As a part of the deal, Ochsner and TGMC agreed to chip in $5.1 million to help offset the planned budget cuts. Terrebonne Parish also contributed $2 million and Lafourche Parish contributed $1 million.
"You are worth saving. The care you provide is indescribable, which is why we stepped up," said Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph.
Monday was also the first day for new hospital CEO Ritchie Dupre, who will replace outgoing hospital CEO Rhonda Green. Green was retained by the LSU Health Care Services Division to work as a director of business operations.
Dupre, native and resident of Houma, is the former chief operating officer at Ochsner St. Anne General Hospital in Raceland. Dupre served as the assistant vice president of radiology at the Ochsner Clinic Foundation and director of radiology and special imaging at TGMC. Medical Director Dr. Michael Garcia will stay on with the hospital.
"I cannot tell you how many people have been touched by this hospital that didn't have a nickel, because it doesn't matter if you're poor and you're sick. Thanks to TGMC and Ochsner, we will continue to care for these people," Chabert said.

The event was filmed Wednesday night at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles with former Lipscomb basketball coach Don Meyer receiving the "Jimmy V Perseverance" Award. Philip Hutcheson, Lipscomb athletics director, was in the audience and noted that coach Meyer received two standing ovations during his speech as well as a number of compliments from ESPN staffers.
The award is named for the late Jimmy Valvano, who coached at North Carolina State and later was an ESPN commentator before passing away from cancer. The award is presented to a deserving member of the sporting world who has overcome great obstacles through physical determination and perseverance.
Hutcheson was joined by his wife, Vera. Also present were Wade Tomlinson and his wife, Jennifer. Both Hutcheson and Tomlinson played for Meyer at Lipscomb. Meyer was also joined by many family members as well.
Meyer was the featured speaker April 28 at the inaugural Don Meyer "Evening of Excellence" at Allen Arena. The event also served as the official kick-off for the National Bison Club, which provides support for 17 varsity athletics programs. Andy Lane is serving as the executive director. Plans are already underway for the 2010 "Evening of Excellence".
The inaugural event attracted approximately 600 for a VIP dinner and more than 2,000 to hear his keynote speech.
Meyer, the men's basketball coach at Northern State, is battling cancer and lost a leg as the result of serious injuries from an automobile accident Sept. 5. Meyer returned to coach during the 2008-2009 season. He won his 903rd career game Jan. 10 to break the previous record held by Bobby Knight.

In early September, much of the world held its breath as President Barack Obama pushed for U.S. congressional approval of military action against the Syrian government over its alleged use of chemical weapons during its 2-year-old civil war with rebel forces. Syrian President Bashar Assad's alleged violation of the international norm against biological and chemical weapons in an Aug. 21 attack on civilians is an egregious war crime for which the regime needs to be held accountable, say Catholic intellectuals, theologians and scholars of the Church's just war tradition. However, they add, President Obama's intent to use military force in retribution failed to align with several just war criteria.
A Russia-U.S. brokered resolution that Syria surrender its chemical weapons stockpile to international control defused the threatened action. However, such a unilateral military strike raises questions as to what authority the United States has to intervene in a civil war and to attack a country that poses no direct threat to it or its allies. The limited bombing campaign threatened by Obama would also be unlikely to destroy all of Assad's chemical weapons stockpile, and it could exacerbate the violence in the war-torn Middle Eastern country that has already killed more than 100,000 people and displaced more than 4 million.
"There should be lessons learned from when we went into Iraq. President Obama said this isn't an intervention like Iraq, but we need to look at the probable consequences from a strike," said Tobias Winright, associate professor of theological studies at St. Louis University in Missouri and co-author of "After the Smoke Clears: The Just War Tradition and Post War Justice" (Orbis, $20).
Winright told Our Sunday Visitor that he does not see how military intervention in Syria can be morally justified after taking into account several just war criteria. For example, under just war thinking, military action should only be used as a last resort.
"I think we're now seeing that if we had begun bombing two weeks ago [in early September], we would not have met that criteria of last resort," he said. "The diplomacy going on now shows there were some alternatives. Whether or not that works, though, remains to be seen."
On Sept. 23, Assad said his government would allow international experts to access his country's chemical weapons sites in accordance with the resolution, which was reached in Geneva in mid-September. While it is uncertain as to whether diplomacy will succeed, the fact that Obama said the United States was ready to attack before diplomatic options had been explored is one area in which his strategy failed the just war test. "If there are alternatives, war becomes a crime," said Jesuit Father Raymond G. Helmick, a theology professor at Boston College.
"Are there other alternatives besides use of armed force to pursue a legitimate objective like destroying chemical weapons? It seems like the United States has gone from indifference to planning a bombing campaign. Isn't there something in between?" said Robert G. Kennedy, professor and chairman of Catholic studies at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota.
Kennedy told OSV he does not believe the United States is the legitimate authority that can take military action, according to just war theory. The closest body to a legitimate authority in this situation, Kennedy said, would be the United Nations.
He compared the United States circumventing the United Nations and forming ad-hoc coalitions to launch unilateral strikes to vigilantes attacking criminal defendants acquitted at trial. "Despite the fact that something went wrong, we don't have the standing to do that." Winright agreed.
"The question is not so much whether we're the world's policeman. In this case, it's more like we're the world's vigilante," he said. "Who made the United States the authority to intervene?"
One scenario where the United States could be morally justified to strike without U.N. authorization would be to protect innocent civilians from a chemical weapons attack proven to be imminent. The Responsibility to Protect — an international security and human rights norm the United Nations adopted in 2005 — addresses the international community's failure to prevent and stop genocides and war crimes. However, in the present crisis, Obama said the U.S. military could attack Syria at any time, for punitive rather than defensive reasons to protect life.
Michael Peppard, assistant theology professor at Fordham University, said he does not believe a punitive attack is compatible with the just war tradition. Though Responsibility to Protect is an emerging concept in just cause criteria, he said the other criteria must also be satisfied to warrant military action. "The U.N. was created for this reason," he said. "If we expect just cause to include humanitarian intervention, then the U.N. has to be the authority. It's the one body that is public and has some form of public discussion before action is taken."
The just war model says success should be probable and the means to wage the war proportionate. A serious problem with attacking Syria, observers said, is the unknown effect of what a limited bombing campaign would have on the populace. "It hasn't been made clear by what metric we would use to define success," Peppard said. "A limited strike wouldn't topple the regime, install a more just government or secure the chemical weapons."
"A strike could widen the war, draw in other fighters, possibly widening the conflict into a regional war while widening the conflict on the ground itself," said Stephen M. Colecchi, director of the Office of International Justice and Peace for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Colecchi told OSV that Pope Francis and the bishops believe a U.S.-led attack on Syria would have "grave unintended consequences." Colecchi said a strike could embolden rebel forces to step up attacks, leading the Assad regime in turn to increase its use of chemical weapons to remain in power.
David O'Brien, a professor emeritus of Catholic history and Catholic social and political thought at Holy Cross College in Worcester, Mass., told OSV that Church teachings in recent decades have expressed more support for nonviolent means of solving conflicts, and a more rigorous application of just war principles to specific situations. He echoes the Holy See's and other scholars' skepticism over unilateral action and the probability of a military strike's success to degrade Assad's chemical weapons capability.
"A surgical strike wouldn't probably have much of an impact," he said. "It's unlikely to do anything to the (chemical weapons) stockpile and it would have significant collateral damage. And the political question here is that you can't do it without intervening on behalf of one side in the civil war."

Gerard Depardieu granted Russian citizenship
The Green Card star moved to the Belgian village of Nechin, just minutes from the French border, after the government pushed ahead with plans to introduce a 75 per cent tax on millionaires to help boost France's ailing economy.
Depardieu was criticised by French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault over the move, but he has the support of another world leader as Russia's President Vladimir Putin has cleared the star for a Russian passport.
A statement from the Russian government reads, "Vladimir Putin has signed a decree granting Russian citizenship to France's Gerard Depardieu."
It is not known whether the actor has accepted the offer.

I am totally for that. In addition I support more regular shapes, a larger band, and better shows. Will any of this happen? nope.
What you can do!- if you know any current band members suggest show ideas to them. They get up to 3 "votes" on suggestions for next seasons tunes. Usually the students only get to influence 1 show, but if they all suggest a really cool idea, that would be one show that's really good at least.
|12/10/2009 - 11:38am
anyone in sections 4-25 during the game, you have basically no chance to hear the band. Welcome to physics. That's how sound works, and most of these are directional instruments. Anyone from 26-3 should expect to hear something, although depending on where you are not so much. For pregame 20-26 should expect to hear most of it except for when they play towards the end zones. Half time is basically the same thing minus when they pity the non-pressbox side.
Also, cutting instruments will not make the band louder unless you know a whole bunch of kids who want to audition for trumpet and trombone. Last couple of years, those numbers have been down and it has hurt the overall volume level. Hate to sound like the football team, but yes it matters how many players the band has. Not saying Boerma isn't too blame, (which he very much is) but it's saying something when the band can't fill the quota for trombone players (one of the loudest instruments).
|12/03/2009 - 1:26pm
I've been waiting for anyone to bring this up. 4 games in 7 days. I know they didn't practice Monday(travel/rest day), so they have had probably 1 or 2 days of practice since Beilein has noticed all these issues. What did you really think would get fixed?
Long season, plenty of games to earn those "quality wins" so sack up and lets watch some basketball.
|11/10/2009 - 8:54pm
|Most penalized team?
Funny you mention illegal, I thought I just heard Keith Jackson say that UM was the most penalized team in the country. I'm not saying it's not a GREAT defense, but you'd think a Carr team would be anti-penalty. Maybe it was just the young gusto Carr being overly aggressive (too bad that didn't last) to get big hits etc.
Note- He said this while UM was on defense but I have no clue what the breakdown was.
Anyone else laughing how different football was 11 years ago? even the production value seems so retro.
|11/02/2009 - 1:34pm
I can not wait to hear what LINDA(!) has to say about all this.
|10/31/2009 - 1:32pm
Ok, I think you might be reading a bit much into that quote. Regardless, why not grant it for the 5th year? we still have an open scholarship for Trey, and if manny leaves(likely) we will have two open ships. Is there anyone else we are in on that we would need an extra scholarship or two going into next season that would necessitate forcing out a great team player?
|10/21/2009 - 1:45pm
|Huge Fan
I'm a huge fan of this type of research. This is what truly makes this board so great in that it gives us ways to suggest new metrics/ideas. I think this rating tool could be added into UFR and would be meaningful. The best part is that it doesn't even introduce anything new, just views them differently. It's a simple plug and chug addition. Once again kudos.
|10/11/2009 - 12:54pm
Yes he is still at PSU,and yeah Garrett Graham is pretty darn good.
|09/15/2009 - 7:29pm
FWIW the halftime selection for this week is of the RAWK variety and not of the alumni pleasing variety so we'll see if that makes any difference in the discussion.
|09/15/2009 - 7:13pm
|That may be
I know nothing about the numbers over a long period of time, but was simply relating the idea that we only have a band of brass is impractical based on the auditioning members currently. In addition there is no disputing that there are fewer members than there has been of late as it's come down from over 350ish to more like 320ish. I think topgun has the right idea that it's related to football success as sad as that is based on the evidence provided by the years after 97 when the band ballooned in size.
|09/15/2009 - 2:58pm
|To give you some perspective
I was a member of the MMB recently and can tell you that they have been bleeding members the last 3 years. The band is down to around 320ish I believe and has been well over 400 at times. Part of this is a new musical cap put in place to promote musicality, but this does not explain the recent lack of people auditioning. This is especially true of Trombones and Trumpets who usually get no more than 20-25 people auditioning for about 15 spots. Of those 20, only maybe 13 or 14 are college level musicians. To give you a real number example, there are only around 40 trombones in this years band and they will take up to 60+. 20 Trombones is a huge difference in sound and balance of a band. It pains me to say it, but there is not the interest in bands that their once was and the lack of interest more than anything else has to be partly responsible in the lack of noise. This is not an excuse* for a lack of noise, but something to be considered.

If the phrase "Do you know where I can find any sailors around here?" means anything to you, you're either a fan of Shenmue or… well, we don't want to go into that on a family website. If you're in the former camp, start getting excited, because it seems Sega's cult adventure game might be scheduled for resurrection on XBLA and PSN.
Sega's Ben Harborne told Gamereactor that Shenmue and RPG Skies of Arcadia are the subjects of the majority of fan requests for re-release, and cryptically commented, "We may be working on them."
Sega is currently working on a PSN and XBLA re-release of Jet Set Radio, which will be the fourth Dreamcast title it's re-launched for current consoles (the others being Sonic Adventure, Sega Bass Fishing Crazy Taxi and Space Channel 5 Part 2). Feel free to join us in keeping our fingers and toes crossed that Shenmue will go from teased to confirmed as the next in the series.

Ferrari's Massa sets fastest time at Jerez testing, Mercedes rebounds with good session
JEREZ, Spain – Ferrari driver Felipe Massa clocked the fastest time of Formula One's opening preseason test in the Italian team's new F138 car on Thursday.
Mercedes rebounded from a wild opening two days with Nico Rosberg completing a session-high 148 laps at the Jerez circuit.
Rosberg's car had spouted flames and smoke on Tuesday, and the next day new teammate Lewis Hamilton crashed into a barrier.
New Sauber driver Esteban Gutierrez had the second-most laps with 110 and world champion Sebastian Vettel was third with 102.
Massa, who is riding alone for Ferrari with Fernando Alonso not attending the tests in his home country, recorded a fastest lap of 1 minute, 17.879 seconds. Rosberg and Vettel were next.

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
We Like Humans - "Sort Your Life Out"
Artist Bio:
The fierce We Like Humans embrace the Alternative side of Rock with a clear vision, tunes with no bullshit. Based in Preston UK since April 2012, Dan Clayton (Vocals & Guitar), Rob Kenny (Bass Guitar) and Beth Pawson (Drums) have put out their self-titled EP with a realism often neglected today. It is funded with tears, sweat and yes some blood but hell it was worth it.
Nominated as New Band of the Year and Drummer of the Year at the Pure Rawk Awards 2013, We Like Humans have smashed their way into the UK rock and metal scene, making no apologies for the noise and havoc they leave in their wake.
The EP goes from cascading life realisation to the anthemic, with plenty of other frustrations and emotions in the arsenal.
"They share an erratic quality with alternative rock bands alike – Queens of the Stone Age, System of a Down and Billy Talent who inevitably leave a lasting impression" – Unsigned Britain
"Dark, brooding rock in abundance…overall they play hard, fast and tight" – Pure Rawk
"The debut single is a surging sea of Independent Rock and Roll heavily doused in some enigmatic Post-Rock subculture. Their odourless conviction and brash originality steers a stealthy course in illustrious clarity" - Mojophenia
About The Video:
Sort Your Life Out is an insight into a day in the life of We Like Humans. Filming the up close and slow mo perspective of the erratic trio, we get the chance to share a moment of madness and become a fellow Human. Turn it up loud, people!

Allart Lightenberg, above, from left, joins Olympian Alex Tarics, Roy Lave and Dave Smith at the Encore! event.
The Los Altos Rotary Club's Partners for Elder Generations Committee hosted the "Encore! Investigate Your Passion and Get Involved" program for adults over 50 at the Los Altos Youth Center March 23.
The event featured speaker Alex Tarics, the world's oldest living Olympic gold medalist, who will turn 100 in September.
Tarics' appearance opened to the strains of the Hungarian National Anthem.
"As an Encore event, we have a living example of what people should do as they get older," said Dave Smith, Partners for Elder Generations chairman. "Alex Tarics participated in the 1936 Berlin Olympics as a member of the Hungarian water polo team and is physically active and wishes to go to the 2016 Olympics."
Smith described Tarics, who now lives in Belvedere, as the "perfect example of taking advantage of life and doing something for his community or nation."
After his Olympics glory, Tarics earned a doctorate in engineering and built a successful engineering business.
"Whatever I accomplished, I did as part of a team, but once I retired at 78, I decided I had to do things alone," he said.
During his remarks, the former Olympian described conditions in Hungary before and after the games.
"I moved from Hungary when I couldn't vote anymore because of politics, and became a citizen here in 1953," he said.
Encore! attendees asked Tarics questions, mostly concerning his diet and other secrets to his long, active life.
"I think genes have a lot to do with aging, but I never put anything in my body that didn't belong there," Tarics said. "If you want something, work for it – and learn to accept failures."
Tarics proved that his sense of humor is still intact.
"Yes, I smoked, but I never inhaled," he said.
His recipe for longevity?
"I drink a lot of milk and enjoy buttermilk, Bulgarian buttermilk," he said. "I swim a lot and I walk a lot where I don't need my cane, and my wife prepares good meals for me. The inside of me is still 23 years old."
The annual Encore! event is designed to encourage participants to explore new possibilities for life enrichment, meet and talk with representatives from nonprofit organizations who need volunteers and consult with others on how to start a new career.
"Staying involved gives people a sense of meaning and vitality," said Rae Holt, executive director of The Terraces at Los Altos. "Volunteering is a way to stay engaged and contribute to the community, and this is a wonderful place to start looking for a beginning."
The Encore! event offered exposure to career and volunteer options for older residents, particularly those retired from their day jobs who are looking for something productive to do.
The event featured more than 25 nonprofit exhibits, lunch and a panel discussion on encore career opportunities.
Encore! and Partners for Elder Generations are offered through the Rotary Club of Los Altos.

Meibomianitis is an inflammation of the meibomian glands, a group of oil-secreting (sebaceous) glands in the eyelids. These glands have tiny openings to release oils onto the surface of the cornea.
Alternative Names
Meibomian gland dysfunction
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Any condition that increases the thickness of the oily secretions of the meibomian glands will allow excess oils to accumulate on the edges of the lids. This allows for the over-growth of bacteria, which are normally present on skin.
These problems can be caused by allergy, the hormonal changes of adolescence, or general skin conditions such as
Meibomianitis is often associated with
- Swelling and redness of eyelid edges
- Symptoms of dry eye
- Slight blurring of vision due to excess oil in tears -- usually cleared by blinking
- Frequent
Signs and tests
Meibomianitis can be diagnosed by eye examination. Special tests are not required.
Standard treatment involves:
- Careful cleansing of the edges of the lids
- Applying moist heat to the affected eye
These treatments will usually reduce symptoms.
Your health care provider may prescribe an antibiotic ointment to be applied to the lid edge.
Other treatments may include:
- Meibomian gland expression, performed by an eye doctor, to help clear the glands of the secretions
- Insertion of a small tube (cannula) into each gland opening to wash out thickened oil
- Several weeks of tetracycline antibiotics
- Lipoflow, a device that automatically warms the eyelid and helps clear the glands
Any general skin condition such as acne or rosacea may also require treatment.
Expectations (prognosis)
Meibomianitis is not a vision-threatening condition. However, it may be a chronic and recurring cause of eye irritation. Many people find the treatments frustrating because results are not often immediate. Treatment, however, will often help reduce symptoms.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if treatment does not lead to improvement or if styes develop.
Keeping your lid clean will help prevent meibomianitis. Treatment of associated general skin conditions will help prevent meibomianitis.
