...Hunter hasn't received a lot of first-round buzz, but one team in the mid 20s said it would be ecstatic if he was on the board for its pick.
There's no team in the middle of the 20s more than the Seahawks. Daniel Jeremiah has Hunter to the Hawks in his latest mock, stating "his stock appears to be on the rise" to reinforce the story above despite drops concerns.

Times are tough at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach. In November, the museum said it had laid off its chief curator and slashed its operating budget by nearly 15% to cope with a downturn in donations.
On Thursday, the museum will announce a welcome bit of good news. The museum is receiving a $25,000 donation that will go toward the purchase of a bus to be used to provide free tours and art workshops to students from the L.A. area.
The donation comes from Hyundai Motor America, which is expected to present the check to museum leaders at a news conference Thursday. Museum officials said in a statement they expect the bus to bring in an addition 5,000 students to the museum annually.
Hyundai's $25,000 donation is a matching gift the museum is receiving as part of its efforts to raise $50,000 to purchase the bus. The museum said the initiative arose in response to cuts in arts education that have affected the ability of local schools to pay for bus transportation to visit museums.
The Museum of Latin American Art was founded in 1996 by Dr. Robert Gumbiner, who died in 2009.

Phil@Zoom needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 137 designs submitted by 32 freelance designers.
We are a young, dynamic startup company developing software for Microsoft Powerpoint users. Imagine a picture library (like Picasa, Lightroom) but for Powerpoint slides.
Zoom is the brand name of the software (not the name of the company). It reflects the key functionality of the product: being able to 'zoom' in to find a specific slide you're looking for, and being able to 'zoom' out to get a high level overview of your complete slide collection.
Most of our users are going to be professionals using Powerpoint in their day-to-day business, such as consultants and marketing/sales specialists.
We are looking for a creative, modern, elegant logo that reflects the professional crowd that we're trying to address, so less is more, no clip arts, and nothing cartoonish please.
Feel free to use bright, vibrant colors (e.g., red or yellow).
The logo should work well with both black and white backgrounds.
Please provide us with a resizeable vector (.EPS) and a layered PSD file.

Stellenbosch at a glance
Situated on the fertile banks of the Eerste River in the Jonkershoek Valley, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of imposing mountain peaks, rolling vineyards and fragrant orchards - but only a convenient 28 km from Cape Town International Airport - lies the jewel of the famous Cape Winelands: Stellenbosch.
Affectionately named Eikestad because of age old oak trees lining the streets, Stellenbosch is well known for its rich historical heritage. Founded and named in 1679 by Simon van der Stel during the period of control by the Dutch East India Company, it is the second oldest town in South Africa. This becomes apparent when walking alongside the water furrows in Dorp Street, a national monument showcasing a gracious blend of well preserved Cape Dutch, Georgian and Victorian architecture.
Stellenbosch is a Town for all seasons! The University of Stellenbosch, fondly referred to by its students as Maties, is internationally renowned for producing many well known leaders and public figures. Today the US still prepares thousands of national and international students for the future. Stellenbosch also boasts various other acclaimed schools and colleges.
The oldest Wine Route in the country was established in Stellenbosch in 1971. Since then it became one of the country's top tourist attractions where award winning wines can be tasted while enjoying the unique atmosphere of the area. Fine brandy is also distilled and matured in many cellars.
Apart from the normal selection of shops and malls, Stellenbosch offers enticing art galleries, antique shops, fashion and jewellery boutiques, interesting curio shops as well as a vibrant vendor's market. The town forms part of the Western Cape Art and Crafts Route.
Take your pick! Lively café's - fine dining in lifestyle restaurants offering from traditional Cape dishes to mouthwatering exotic cuisine - fast food outlets - deli's - and of course picnics and wine tasting on wine estates. A wider and more exiting choice is hardly possible.
Stellenbosch offers a variety of cultural experiences such as theatre, concerts, exhibitions, festivals and museums.
Home to the famous Coetzenburg Stadium, ample facilities are available for those hooked on sport, outdoor and adventure. You can hike or mountain bike in the beautiful Jonkershoek Nature Reserve. Horse riding, parachuting and hot air ballooning are some of the other exiting experiences that can be enjoyed. Golfers have a choice of three top class golf courses.
Stellenbosch has a mild Mediterranean climate with rainy winters and hot summers.

MADERA – Caltrans opened its first design-build project today, the State Route 99 Madera Rehabilitation Project, on time and on budget.
"This new section of State Route 99 will serve the 65,000 daily commuters, tourists, and truckers who rely on this critical Central Valley corridor," said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.
This four-mile-long project was Caltrans' first under design-build demonstration program legislation (SB4) authored by Ca. Sen. Dave Cogdill and signed into law on February 20, 2009. Design-build is an innovative method of project delivery that combines both design and construction into one contract to expedite construction. Nine additional design-build projects are being constructed throughout the state.
In October 2011, Caltrans started the SR-99 Madera Rehabilitation Project, which improved the concrete median barrier and both northbound and southbound lanes of SR-99 from just south of the South Madera Overcrossing to just north of the Avenue 16 Overcrossing.
Caltrans reconstructed the truck lanes with innovative Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP) to better withstand the truck traffic on the road. The project also upgraded guardrails, lighting, signage and drainage.
The total cost of this $37 million project was funded entirely with State Highway Operational Protection Program (SHOPP) funds.
California has a proven track record of maximizing its funding to successfully launch key infrastructure projects across California. For example, Caltrans has undertaken the following projects:
The $391 million Caldecott Tunnel Project is building a new tunnel that will eliminate the need to reverse the traffic direction in the existing center bore twice a day.
The $439 million Devil's Slide Project features the state's first new highway tunnels in nearly 50 years.
The $122 million Interstate 5 North Stockton Improvement Project is adding 16 miles of new carpool lanes and rebuilding four miles of the highway.
Caltrans is investing $3 billion to reduce congestion and improve safety on Interstate 5 in Los Angeles County.
Last month the federal government rewarded Caltrans with a near-record $155 million in transportation funding after the state met all its 2013 transportation project federal deadlines. Caltrans was also nominated as a finalist to compete for the America's Transportation Award for its work in completing the seismic retrofit of the Dumbarton Bridge. In the Central Valley, Caltrans broke ground on a much-needed expansion of the Kings Canyon Expressway to build a faster and safer route for commuters, farmers hauling produce, and travelers visiting King Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. Recently Caltrans finished rebuilding 90 miles of Interstate 80 between Auburn and the Nevada state line, infrastructure improvements that included rebuilding seven bridges, improving lighting and adding new traffic monitoring systems. These projects are saving commuters precious time lost by traffic congestion while creating or supporting thousands of jobs.For more information on the State Route 99 Madera Rehabilitation Project visit: http://www.madera99rehab.com/.

Seven more people died on Lancaster County roads in 2007 than the year before, and the S.C. Highway Patrol points to alcohol use and the failure to use seat belts as major reasons for the spike.
In 2007, 16 crashes in the county resulted in 17 fatalities. That's up substantially from 2006, when 10 crashes resulted in 10 fatalities.
About half of the fatal crashes in the county last year were alcohol-related and about 70 percent are tied to non seat-belt use, Lance Cpl. Ron Johnson said. Other key factors have been speeding and failing to yield to other vehicles.

All About Nail Guns
By Our Home from Scratch on Oct 02, 2012
If you can't tell, the whole home project thing is going a bit slowly at the moment. We do have a couple home improvement tricks up our sleeve yet, so don't go anywhere! In the meantime, I thought I'd continue where I left off with our air compressor post last week. This time I thought I'd discuss air powered or pneumatic nail guns.
Nail guns are generally task orientated so you use the nail gun most appropriate to whatever you're working on. For hobbyists that do a good amount of light carpentry work, this may be a brad nailer or maybe a finish nailer. If you're framing up some 2x lumber while refinishing a basement or building a shed, then you're going to want a framing nailer.
Here is a list of nail guns and how I've used them.
(via Porter Cable)
1. Brad Nailer. A brad nailer is pretty much the jack of all trades for hobbyists and DIYers. It shoot nails that range in length from around 1/2″ to 1 1/4″, maybe slightly longer depending upon the application. The nails are 18 ga, which if you're not familiar with sizes the larger the number, the smaller the nail. I used a brad nailer to install all the baseboard and window trim in our first home. We also used one to assemble our sliding drawer project. You can't use really long nails in these nor can you them to assemble 2×4′s or anything majorly large. There are a few different manufacturers on the market and the usually run around $100 new. This is a perfect first nail gun.
(via Porter Cable)
2. Finish Nailer. These nailers are a little bigger with 15 or 16 ga nails. They're also capable of shooting much longer nails. These are more appropriate for specialty trim or carpentry projects. We used one to nail the MDF raised panel sections to the wall since the nail needed to go through 3/4″ thick MDF, 1/2″ thick drywall and then into the 2x wall stud. Price wise, they aren't much more money than brad nailers.
(via Porter Cable)
3. Framing Nailers. These are some big nail guns. They shoot the regular flat head framing nails most of us are familiar with. They're not very useful for smaller projects as they're too powerful for window and door trim work. Framing nailers are a little more expensive than brad or finish nailers and can run around $200 for a new gun. They're worth the price though considering how much time you can save framing up a basement or a home addition.
(via Senco)
4. Pin Nailers. These guns are considerably smaller than even the brad nailers. If you can't tell from the name, they shoot very small, very thin nails designed to not leave a noticeable nail hole on your project. The downside? They are delicate, somewhat easier to break and are not ideal for all projects. You can't use this gun for most window or door trim projects, the nails just aren't long or big enough to grip something heavy. These nail guns are absolutely perfect for attaching small, thin pieces of wood that would look stupid with big nail holes in them or would otherwise split from larger nails. Pin nailers are not cheap either. Good guns can cost you more than a decent framing nailer!!
(via Senco)
5. Staplers. Staplers can be useful for certain application where nails just don't provide adequate fastening. Like what? Well, like fabric or thin plywood. You can't upholster a chair with nails, you need something to grab the fabric. The price for staplers is usually around the price of a brad nailer. I've never actually used one myself, but I haven't worked on any projects that would require one.
Hope that helps to explain the basics of nail gun options. Any questions?blog comments powered by Disqus

Aliens: Colonial Marines Video Tours the Xenomorphs' Crib
Aliens: Colonial Marines has a new Concept-to-Game video up, showing us the impeccable taste in decor of the local Xenomorphs at Hadley's Hope.
The previous video gave us looks into how concept art for Hadley's Hope became full, 3D environments inside the game. It was a nice glimpse of how a human colony in Aliens: Colonial Marines got ravaged by aliens, with signs of heavy damage everywhere you looked. But this new video shows us how the little blighters took a human settlement and made it their own. And since there were no Xenomorph equivalents of Ikea anywhere on the planet, they took to furnishing the abandoned areas with egg sacs full of facehuggers and human sacrifices encased in resin pillars. Mm-mm, sounds pretty damn gross.
Check out the video below and prepare for the Xenomorphic horrors, which will be more than just decorative, when the game comes out on February 12th, 2013.

Government officials estimate that from 8 percent to 22 percent of Brazil's just-harvested soybean crop was planted in Roundup Ready soybeans. In the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul, they say, up to 70 percent of the 2002/03 crop could have been Roundup Ready.
Most of the seed for those crops was sold on the black market or saved from previous harvests, meaning Monsanto received no return from Brazilian farmers on the billions of dollars it spent developing the technology. But the St. Louis-based company plans to change that situation.
"Starting with this year's harvest in Brazil, we intend to implement a program that will allow us to obtain fair value for the use of our technology in the future in Brazil and be fair to Brazilian growers who want to use our technology," says Carl Casale, vice president for Monsanto's North American Agricultural Business.
"Our plan will allow the export of Roundup Ready soybeans from Brazil by those who choose to execute an agreement acknowledging our intellectual property rights; the terms of the agreement will provide fair compensation to Monsanto for the use of its technology."
Worst-kept secret
Speaking at a Senate hearing in Washington last month, Casale said the planting of Roundup Ready soybeans in Brazil has been one of the worst kept secrets in the world oilseed markets.
"As you are aware, our technology is being used illegally in Brazil and, as a result, Brazilian growers are enjoying the advantages of the technology without paying for it. U.S. growers are rightly concerned about this, and I can assure you that we at Monsanto are working hard to address this problem.
Casale said Monsanto received approval to conduct its first field test of Roundup Ready soybeans in Brazil in February 1997. Based on the results of those studies, the company applied to CTNBio, Brazil's regulatory agency for biotechnology products, for full approval of the sale of Roundup Ready soybeans.
CTNBio, the Portuguese abbreviation for the Brazilian Biosafety Commission, granted Monsanto's request in September 1998. Almost immediately, environmental groups opposed to biotechnology filed lawsuits challenging the authority of the government to issue the approval.
In 1999, a Brazilian court issued an injunction suspending the CTNBio approval, pending a resolution of the lawsuits, and appellate court rulings in June and September 2000 denied Monsanto's request to remove the injunction.
"In December 2000, then President Cardoso issued a Provisional Measure restating the Biosafety Commission's authority to approve products and reaffirming all past approvals," says Casale. "In mid-2001, the federal government asked for an expedited decision at the Appellate Court."
Late in 2001, the president of the Appellate Court assigned the case to a panel of three judges for a final decision. Two months later, the lead judge on the panel issued an opinion stating that the law giving CTNBio authority to approve Roundup Ready soybeans was constitutional and voted to cancel the pending injunctions.
To date, the other two judges have not yet issued their opinions. Casale said he would not want to speculate about why they judges have failed to act.
"The reality is that the illegal use of Roundup Ready soybeans by Brazilian farmers continues to grow at a steady rate," he noted, "while the Brazilian government has not acted to approve their use."
Safety certificates
Ironically, the Brazilian government had to issue safety certificates for Roundup Ready soybeans to the Chinese government in February, although Roundup Ready soybeans cannot be legally grown in Brazil
"Both the Brazilian ministers of agriculture and health have issued certificates for Roundup Ready soybeans, certifying they are safe for human and animal consumption," said Casale. "More recently, President Lula issued a provisional measure that legalized biotech soybean sales harvested this growing season for sale as grain only for domestic uses or exports."
For the past two years, Monsanto has conducted extensive advertising campaigns and educational programs to inform growers that their government had not approved the technology while urging the government to take action to stop illegal use.
"To date, Brazil has not been willing or able to provide regulatory approval for technology," he said. "At the same time, it has not provided recognition for Monsanto's intellectual property rights or enforcement to protect those rights."
Casale said that international grain exporters/importers are being asked to purchases licenses from Monsanto if the soybeans they are shipping from Brazil include above-threshold quantities of Roundup Ready soybeans. Traders who elect not to secure a license will be subject to enforcement actions.
In recent weeks, Monsanto has sent letters to 250 exporters that buy Brazilian soybeans and 150 importers, advising them the company will begin monitoring shipments from Brazil this month. Shipments with above threshold levels of genetically altered soybeans can be impounded or sent back to Brazil.
"We have pledged to work in partnership with these grain traders and to make every effort possible to address their concerns about the program and its implementation," he noted. "We know how much the American grower is counting on all of us to work together to address this issue."
While Brazilian farmers may be profiting from using the Monsanto technology without paying for it, in the long-term, the failure of their government to recognize intellectual property rights will put them at a disadvantage, according to Casale.
"Because it is impossible for Monsanto to contemplate bringing other biotechnology products to Brazil until these issues are resolved, Brazil may miss a greater opportunity to participate in innovative technologies that can bring environmental, production and financial benefits to their growers."
Monsanto is currently researching a promising oilseed crop that could produce a vegetable oil enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids. An Omega-3 enriched oil could ultimately provide consumers with a new solution to fight heart disease.
"This is but one example of how biotechnology can add value enhancements to crops," he told the senators. "But without protection for our intellectual property rights and support for the approval of our products in Brazil, Monsanto cannot continue to bring new technology products to that country."
In an interview, Casale said Brazilian farmers and other growers in South America have already missed out on new technology that could have provided significant benefits to their soybean operations.
"We developed Bt soybeans for the Latin America market because of the greater problem they have with lepidopterous insects," he said. "But we decided to shelve the technology because of our experience with Roundup Ready soybeans. This move was not designed to punish the Brazilians – it's just the reality of the situation we faced with the regulatory environment there."

Author Notes: I could list a bunch of recipes, but instead I am going to simply tell you to find any recipe you like that calls for greens, such as Spinach, Swiss Chard or Mustard Greens and replace them with Kale. Stew, quiche, lasagna, pesto or even Spanakopita recipe, can be made with Kale. During Spring and early summer I cook this kind of soup with Sorrel and Nettle, which are very popular in Eastern Europe. Sorrel has a natural sourness and Nettle a ton of vitamins. Blanched, nettles will keep their emerald loveliness even after a good 15 minutes of cooking, which makes any dish visually stunning. Be sure to wear gloves when removing the nettle leaves from the stems. —Kukla

Childhood Sexual Abuse as an HIV Risk Factor in Women
July/August 1997
In doing HIV/AIDS work, it is critical to operate with the awareness that a large proportion of adolescents and adults were sexually abused as children and that abuse has had a profound and devastating effect on their consequent psychosocial development. Childhood sexual abuse has been strongly associated with numerous disturbing behavioral and psychological outcomes in adolescent and adult women. Among them are further domestic violence, adolescent pregnancy, child abuse, drug and alcohol abuse, bulimia, sexually transmitted infections, depression, prostitution, self-mutilation, running away from home and dropping out of school (Rosenfeld, 1993; Boyer, 1992). The emotional trauma of childhood sexual abuse is compounded by the fact that the perpetrator of the violence is usually a close, male family member. In most cases, sexual abuse occurs in a family atmosphere of silence, secrecy, protection of the perpetrator and disbelief or blaming of the child victim.
The link between child sexual abuse and risk for HIV infection has been proposed by several authors (Caseese, 1993; Paone, 1993; Rosenfeld, 1993; Zierler, 1991), and recent research strongly confirms that association. Large, prospective, multisite studies of cohorts of women with and at high behavioral risk for HIV have uncovered striking data by conducting structured interviews with participants. Of 771 women enrolled in HIV Epidemiology Research Study (HERS) sites in Baltimore, Detroit, and the Bronx, 43% had been sexually abused as children and 45% had been sexually abused as adults (Vlahov, 1996). In this cohort, 28.3% of the women reported having witnessed a murder.
In the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), data from 1560 women enrolled in New York City, Chicago, Washington, DC, and Los Angeles revealed that 40% reported a history of childhood sexual abuse (Cook, 1997) For these women, a history of sexual abuse, physical abuse or domestic abuse was highly correlated with engaging in risk behavior for HIV. In particular, childhood sexual abuse was significantly associated with: use of IV drugs; exchange of sex for drugs, money or shelter; higher number of sexual partners; and having had a sexual relationship with a person at high risk for HIV. Additionally, childhood sexual abuse was significantly related to adult domestic violence as well as adult sexual abuse.
HIV and Increased Domestic ViolenceA review of the first 138 deaths at Chicago's Cook County Hospital program for HIV-positive women and children provided further evidence of the extent to which HIV and violence are interrelated. The review discovered that only 80% of the deaths were due to AIDS. Substance abuse, cardiac disease and other chronic illnesses accounted for most of the remaining 20%. Significantly, 3% of the deaths in this group were due to domestic homicide (Cohen, 1996). Childhood sexual abuse may be emerging as a primary risk factor for HIV infection, but violence is a major risk factor for mortality in HIV-positive women.
For HIV-positive women, there is increased risk of domestic violence related to HIV status. The decision to test for HIV, disclosure of HIV status to family and partner, partner notification and mandatory newborn HIV screening (as in New York State) are all situations that may increase the risk for violence. There is evidence that women have been beaten, abandoned, shot, and even murdered by domestic partners after revealing their HIV-positive status (North, 1993; Lester, 1995). It has been shown that when physical abuse has occurred in the past, it is even more likely to occur during a pregnancy (Amaro, 1990). Thus, HIV testing during pregnancy, and newborn screening for HIV may set women up for further violence.
Abuse Survivors and Their Care ProvidersChildhood sexual abuse may also set the stage for unsatisfactory relationships with health care providers. In general, clinicians fail to screen for a history of childhood sexual abuse or current risk for domestic abuse. Symptoms of domestic abuse may be easily misread. Often an abused woman will miss appointments and be considered noncompliant. Or she may report injuries, falls, forgetfulness and clumsiness. Women who have histories of childhood sexual abuse often have numerous physical complaints, including: digestive upsets, headaches, joint and muscle pains and chest pains (AMA, 1992). When clinicians are unable to find underlying medical causes for these symptoms, they become frustrated and often label the patient a "malingerer."
Sexual trauma can also result in post-traumatic stress syndrome with symptoms such as anxiety, phobias, hypervigilence and isolation. Common coping behaviors in sexual abuse survivors are denial, dissociation and repetition compulsion (Caseese, 1993). Denial and repetition compulsion (repeating behaviors that lead to trauma) are major mechanisms operating when engaging in risk behaviors, or staying in an abusive situation. Dissociation (pushing painful experiences and emotions out of conscious recognition) often occurs when survivors are asked about the trauma. They may respond blankly or without any emotional affect. Care providers often interpret dissociative reactions as the patient being "not too bright," "spaced out" or "on drugs."
The available data on the incidence of sexual trauma and domestic abuse in the U.S. is staggering. It is estimated that more than 30% of all females and nearly 15% of all males in the U.S. have been victims of childhood sexual abuse. Seventy-five percent of sex workers (female and male) have experienced sexual abuse. One in four women have been raped, and one in five women have experienced domestic abuse. During pregnancy, it is estimated that one in six women is sexually or physically assaulted by her partner.
Investigation and data regarding the prevalence, consequences and relationship to risk for HIV of the sexual abuse of boys are nearly absent in the literature. There are currently no clinical recommendations regarding incorporating what is known about childhood sexual trauma into HIV prevention efforts or into principles for forming therapeutic alliances with HIV-positive clients who are trauma survivors.
In most cases in which a history of trauma is uncovered, the individual should be referred to a competent therapist, with the message that recovery, healing and relief of symptoms is possible. A woman who is currently in an abusive situation needs a counselor who is trained in crisis intervention and domestic abuse. In addition, the following guidelines may be useful in approaching and working with individuals with a history of sexual or other trauma (adapted from Denenberg, 1993):

Come on in, slip off your skin, and rattle around in your bones! 22 (11%)
There once was a man from Nantucket. 60 (30%)
Kitties!!! 70 (35%)
Hey, nonny nonny. 44 (22%)
Votes so far: 196
Poll closed
The Kitties have won!!!11eleven!!
Ok, now the fun part. Statistics. I mean, sure, Kitties won, and if this were a simple election, we would be welcoming our new Kitty overlords with catnip and balls of yarn. But what would be the fun in that?
These were clearly nonsense answers—one might be tempted to treat them as random choices. But, like "I'm thinking of an odd number between one and one hundred", all choices are not equal. Though this be madness, yet there's method in't.
First, let's see if this is a statistically significant difference. Yes, the kitties won, but somebody had to—is it possible that this distribution of votes was simply random? ("Yes", says the null hypothesis; "No", retorts the alternative hypothesis.) To test this, we need a limerick, courtesy of the good people at the OEDILF:
chi-square test, chi-squared test by Cuttlefish
Chi-square testing compares Fexpected
To the real Fobtained you've collected:
Square, divide by Fe,
Sum these up, and you'll see
If Hypothesisnull is rejected.
The chi-square test, a robust statistical test appropriate for nominal (categorical) data, calculates a ratio of observed frequencies Fo to expected frequencies Fe. The assumption of the null hypothesis is that the categories are unrelated; a significant value for chi-square allows one to conclude that there is a relationship between the categorical variables.
The formula is: χ2 = ∑( (Fe – Fo)2 / Fe )
Close, but in this case we are using a Chi-square goodness of fit test rather than a test of independence. No biggie; the formula is the same. All we need to know is that, with 196 responses, the expected frequency under the null hypothesis is 49 votes per answer.
Chi-square obtained, in this case, is 26.86. At three degrees of freedom, the probability of these results occurring by chance alone is less than one in ten thousand. Ok, for all practical purposes we can conclude it's not random.
But why? Could be the order the answers were presented in; I could repeat the poll with randomized presentation. Could be collusion by participants. Could just be that people like kitties. Could be that kitties across the world were holding voters' loved ones hostage. Sadly, no independent variable was manipulated, so we are at a loss to explain our results other than descriptively.
No big deal, of course; it's just a nonsense poll. But for fans of experimental methodology and measurement, it is just one more example of the methodological concerns involved in poll-making.
Bottom line—the appearance of randomness is not randomness. Remember that when you look at psychic predictions, or remote viewing, or polls on cuttlefish blogs.

The E63 AMG S loses from a stop and from a roll. It does get the lead from a dead stop as it should by virtue of all wheel drive but the M5 closes the very quickly. It does not seem to launch, just roll into the throttle.
From a roll, the race goes to the M5. Now, the M5 should have the advantage from a roll thanks to the dual clutch transmission and rear wheel drive setup. All wheel drive also does have higher drivetrain losses but that is one of the reasons AMG gave the car a power boost.
Is the M5 modded? Are both cars stock? Who really knows with a video like this but the result sure is interested. Check out the video below.

March 9, 2019, 3:07 pmLuke Kornet - F/C - New York Knicks
Luke Kornet returned to the rotation in Saturday's loss, logging 13 minutes and delivering four points, two rebounds, two assists, a block and a 3-pointer.
Kornet likely only played because Noah Vonleh was sidelined with an injury. There's just too much inconsistency in his playing time to trust Kornet in fantasy.
Fantasy News
March 21, 2019, 1:58 amJames Harden - G - Houston Rockets
James Harden destroyed the Grizzlies on Wednesday despite losing 126-125 in overtime as he had 57 points on 18-of-39 shooting.
He hit nine triples and made all 12 of his attempts from the line. He also added seven rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two blocks to the stat sheet. Harden is the No. 1 fantasy player even in 9-cat formats despite the huge turnover ratio, and the historic season just keeps getting better game-by-game.
March 21, 2019, 1:52 amChris Paul - G - Houston Rockets
Chris Paul put up 18 points with seven rebounds and seven assists on 6-of-17 shooting in an overtime loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
He made two 3-pointers and added one steal to the box score. Paul is still a top-20 value on the season, but his ceiling is obviously limited due to the usage and dominance of James Harden. However, he is still one of the top fantasy point guards as always.
March 21, 2019, 1:45 amIman Shumpert - G - Houston Rockets
Iman Shumpert started for Eric Gordon (rest) on Wednesday and put up four points and two steals in 23 minutes of action in a loss to the Grizzlies.
He is not worth owning in any formats and he did not pay dividends for anyone that picked him in DFS for this one.
March 21, 2019, 1:43 amDamian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers
Damian Lillard scored 33 points on 9-of-18 shooting (6-of-12 3PTs, 9-of-10 FTs) with five rebounds, 12 assists and two steals over 30 minutes in the Blazers' 126-118 win over the Mavs on Wednesday.
Lillard is going to go off with C.J. McCollum out whenever he is on the floor, so keep an eye on the standings and root for the Blazers to keep having meaningful games.
March 21, 2019, 1:42 amMaurice Harkless - F - Trail Blazers
Moe Harkless scored 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting (including two threes) with three rebounds, two steals and two blocks over 25 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Mavs.
Harkless can pop off like this pretty much at any time but he also has a well-known knee issue that might be prime for games off. With no action until Saturday it just adds to the risk profile, but with production like this and C.J. McCollum out there's a lot to like.
March 21, 2019, 1:37 amMike Conley - G - Memphis Grizzlies
Mike Conley put up 35 points with five rebounds and eight assists on 12-of-23 shooting in an overtime win against the Rockets on Wednesday.
He made six of his nine attempts from deep and made all five of his attempts from the line. Conley has been a top-15 value over the past month and looks to be one of the most reliable point guards to own heading down the final stretch of the season.
March 21, 2019, 1:32 amJonas Valanciunas - C - Memphis Grizzlies
Jonas Valanciunas put up a career-high 33 points with 15 rebounds in a 126-125 overtime win over the Rockets on Wednesday.
He shot 10-of-19 from the field and 13-of-17 from the line and continues to dominate for the Grizzlies. He should put up middle-round value for the remaining 11 games and will be a highly coveted center option heading into next season.
March 21, 2019, 1:31 amJake Layman - F - Trail Blazers
Jake Layman started once again with C.J. McCollum (knee) out and scored 13 points on 4-of-10 shooting (including three treys) with three rebounds and one block in Wednesday's win over the Mavs.
Layman has struggled with his shot over the last week but when he was humming a few weeks ago he ran as a late-round guy. A bounceback from his 24 percent shooting over the last week could coincide nicely with additional playing time, but keep in mind that the Blazers don't play until Saturday against the Pistons.
March 21, 2019, 1:29 amEnes Kanter - C - Trail Blazers
Enes Kanter double-doubled with 14 points, 10 rebounds and four assists in 20 minutes off the bench on Wednesday against the Mavs.
The Blazers need additional scoring with C.J. McCollum out so Kanter will become a bit more useful for them, but he's still playing behind Jusuf Nurkic (22 minutes, 13 points, 10 boards) so any upside is capped. Give him a look if his proficient categories can help you.
March 21, 2019, 1:27 amSeth Curry - G - Trail Blazers
Seth Curry hit 8-of-16 shots (including four threes) for 20 points, five rebounds, one assist and two steals in 28 minutes off the bench on Wednesday against the Blazers.
Curry is on the radar as a guy with late-round credentials with C.J. McCollum out, so depending on your category needs he has some wiggle to his value. And in a small sample size anything is possible for a scorer on a team that needs scoring.

Simon Sheng, Ph.D., associate professor of marketing in the Collat School of Business, advises manufacturers and supply-chain managers to better define relationships with suppliers and business partners based on recent study findings.
Sheng's study, featured in the Journal of Operations Management in March, takes a closer look at conflicting evidence in the field of supply-chain and strategic management and examines the role of relational ties — or information-carrying connections — between a firm and its partners. Much research underscores the benefits of strong relational ties to an organization, such as increased communication and knowledge-sharing; but recent research differs. New findings caution that highly embedded ties can restrict information and make a firm susceptible to exploitation by an opportunistic partner.
Sheng's team studied manufacturer-supplier relationships to evaluate the effect that the intensity of relational ties has on partners' ability to acquire specific types of knowledge, and he found a correlation between the two. Manufacturers, he determined, benefit from building relational ties that best support the type of knowledge that is being transferred through that relationship.
Sheng suggests that managers must learn to employ appropriate mechanisms to manage knowledge-acquisition from supply-chain partners and ensure the organization remains open to new information and opportunities while maintaining control of its valuable knowledge base.

Do you shop on black Friday? I don't! I have family that partakes, but it doesn't work for me. It seems there's some controversy brewing (shocker) with the earlier openings on Thanksgiving night. According to the article, retail chains claim customers are wanting to shop on Thanksgiving day and that many people consider black Friday a part of the holiday. I don't doubt that's true. My sister-in-law practically plans Thanksgiving festivities around her need to be in bed early at her Aunt's house that night. That is part of her holiday tradition. I don't want that. My tradition is about the family and food. I love to shop, but throw me in with other crazed shoppers and I feel like the walls are closing in; claustrophobia-like. It's not worth the savings and certainly void of any fun. Neither one of us is right or wrong. In fact, some may consider the hectic mess surrounding the kitchen for the night prior and morning of Thanksgiving to be totally unnecessary. Heck, sometimes I do! But, it's what's "normal" to me and black Friday is "normal" to many.
I do feel bad for those employees that must go in Thanksgiving night in this sense; expectations. It seems the employer's expectations have dramatically changed to accommodate consumers. On the contrary, many employees probably didn't expect to have to sleep Thanksgiving day. I can see being upset about going in on Thanksgiving night if it wasn't in your job description previously. Some employees might not have taken a position with Target, WalMart, etc. if they knew they would be sleeping Thanksgiving day in order to work all of Thanksgiving night and black Friday morning. I have felt for years that the holidays are becoming diluted. Retail chains are trying to provide flexibility and "deals" for their consumers. That's a nice way to say it! They are trying to make every red cent they can and do so without regard for the actual holiday. When will it become black Thanksgiving? Let's just skip the whole tradition of Thanksgiving day and go shopping because that's what the retail chains are telling us! I realize millions of people go shopping on black Friday. I did a brief search (very brief) and can't find an estimate of how many. Clearly many more people do not shop that day! So let's not get wrapped up in retail chains making bold claims that they are accommodating the masses. They are increasing their chances to make money. It's become a contest now, like everything else. You open when? Well, we are opening an hour earlier! Unfortunately, those stores are forgetting that they have employees with families. Employees who have their own traditions. I can already hear the cynics; "Don't work in retail if you don't want to work holidays." I call B.S.! That attitude lends to the definition of pompous in assuming that people working any job should just "know better." I mean, if it's so "easy" to get another job with great hours, no holidays and tons of vacation I would guess retail chains would close down for lack of labor! Let's not go down that path. We're talking about a corporate decision to open doors on Thanksgiving a few hours earlier which ripples through the entire Thanksgiving day so they can make a few more bucks.
One thing I'm curious about; why are stores extending shopping hours into Thanksgiving anyway? Why not extend deals, savings and hours the other way? Why is it the earlier - the better? I understand the "get the customer" first mentality, but I'm speaking in a general sense. When will it be too early to offer deals of the year? These stores do not have to open on Thanksgiving or at 4:00 am the next morning to have a deal! Since when does a deal require some absurd opening fiasco? Target can dictate the deals they offer at anytime. Can they not offer deals beyond the official black Friday time frame? Is it too much to give consumers more time going into the weekend to get deals as opposed to encroaching on Thanksgiving under the guise of a deal? I'm not buying into this scheme to create excitement and price shock by opening earlier and earlier. I'm not buying that "consumers are saying they want to shop on Thanksgiving." If the headline was; "Consumers want black Saturday" we would buy into that just the same. If you want to argue that products will fly off the shelf and giving extra time doesn't necessarily mean those products will be available, then I say it's all relative. If you open at 4:00 am Friday morning...products will be gone relative to that time. If you open at 10:00 am Friday morning...products will be gone relative to that time. None of it makes sense to me. Is it safe to say that those of you who want to participate and enjoy black Friday do not necessarily need a Thanksgiving night or 3:00 am wake-up call to do so? I am going to say...you don't! I think any rational human being who wants to save money, get deals and have a positive shopping experience doesn't need to do so during the dead of the night. I think, again assuming all over the place here, that you just want the same opportunity to find great gifts at great prices while having a fair chance shopping for them. I'll reach out and say that if that fair chance meant you could go shopping at a reasonable time, you would be just as happy! My view is against these ridiculous corporate decisions to open doors going into Thanksgiving.
I guess ultimately; to each her own. I can easily look at both sides. I'm sure the stores are simply saying to themselves; "If we open - they will come!" Can ya blame 'em? Given the opportunity to make money, they will find a way. For me, I shop online. As long as FREE SHIPPING exists - I'm in! If I have to pay a couple extra bucks to shop from my couch - I'm in! I'm fortunate enough to be able to sacrifice maximum savings to shop online or at my own convenience. I'm sad for those that want deals, need deals and must be put through this charade to get them. I feel for those employees that don't want to sleep on turkey day. Another holiday - a new controversy. . . it's gettin' old.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury residents on Tuesday voted 146-78 in favor of a $250,000 bond issue that will pay for final design and engineering work for a proposed major overhaul of the Seymour Street and East Middlebury fire stations.
Tuesday's successful vote was a precursor to what will be a final, $4.625 million bond referendum for the project, which would result in a new fire station in East Middlebury and a substantial expansion/renovation of the department's Seymour Street headquarters.

VERGENNES — The city of Vergennes has been awarded a federal Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Grant worth $133,313 that will fund a sixth full-time member of the city's police department for the next three years.
City Manager Mel Hawley said a condition of the grant is that Vergennes must agree to retain the position for at least one more year, meaning that the city force will expand for at least four years.
VERGENNES — Vergennes Union High School senior Ben Parsons said something unusual happened this past Wednesday, Sept. 21.
"The students in my morning meeting don't stop talking for very long," Parsons said. "They stopped talking while they watched the video."
MIDDLEBURY — After six years at the helm of the Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History, Jan Albers is ready to write the next chapter in her professional life.
Albers confirmed on Tuesday that she will be stepping down as executive director of the Sheldon — the repository of some of Addison County's most treasured historical documents — effective this Friday, Sept. 30.
"The average stay for a museum director is five years, and I have been here for six," Albers said with a smile.
MIDDLEBURY — "I believe there is no greater challenge and opportunity to Vermont and our world than the challenge to change the way we use and produce energy," wrote Gov. Peter Shumlin in the first sentence of the Vermont Comprehensive Energy Plan draft.
When Shumlin appointed Elizabeth Miller to be commissioner of the Department of Public Service (DPS) early this year, she was charged with the task of overseeing the development and completion of a new comprehensive energy plan by the end of 2011 — the first update to the energy plan since 1998.
MIDDLEBURY — The Federal Emergency Management Agency Mobile Disaster Recovery Center will wrap up a three-day stop in Middlebury at 6 p.m. Thursday. The FEMA team set up shop at VFW Post 7823 off of Exchange Street, helping Addison County residents to register with FEMA and find assistance for damage from the recent flooding.
BRISTOL — Residents of the Bristol Police District on Monday voted to move their annual meeting from its traditional May date to instead coincide with the March town meeting.
The change also means that voters will be moving from a meeting format where they can debate and change the proposed annual budget on the floor to one where the budget is warned and voted up or down by Australian ballot without the opportunity to tweak it at the meeting.
Sometimes statistics do tell the story.
According to information released by the U.S. Census Bureau last week, mid- to lower-class Vermonters took it on the chin between 2008-2010.
