Forgetting Paris
A friend recently asked me if I would have sex with Paris Hilton. Not in the same kind of way my friend would ask me if I wanted to grab coffee, because I actually have a shot at grabbing coffee. She asked me hypothetically - because that's the only way I could ever have the opportunity to have sex with Paris Hilton.
So, hypothetically, I have to think about it. I don't want to give my friend an answer that is half-baked. I want to analyze the question carefully just in case I actually had to face this choice - you know, if the laws of the universe ever collapsed.
Obviously Paris Hilton is hot - if another woman who looked like her wanted to sleep with me, the answer would probably be yes. But that is not the question. The question is Paris Hilton.
First, there's the money issue. Most guys want to sleep with her because they think they can somehow come down with a case of wealth - they may come down with something else, but we'll discuss that later. When rich women sleep with regular guys, they don't also give them a million dollars. And my friend's question is not if I'd be willing to be her paid man-slave, it is if I'd be willing to have sex with her once. So money can not factor into my decision.
Maybe the parties are a reason why. If you sleep with Paris Hilton, you get to go to cool parties, right? Not necessarily. The people that sleep with her and go to cool parties would go to cool parties anyway. Rick Solomon was famous before he starred in their movie, and Nick Carter is a Backstreet Boy. Sleeping with Paris Hilton will not automatically get me into any cool parties. Though it may get me into some clinics - but we'll discuss that later.
What about the bragging rights - those have got to be worth it, right? What a story to tell! I'd be the hit of every party, even though they wouldn't be especially cool parties. What's a better story than having sex with Paris Hilton? Well, turning down Paris Hilton makes a good story, too. Plenty of guys have had sex with her. But how many have honestly turned her down?
And then, there's her pure hotness. The woman oozes sex appeal - among other things, but we'll discuss that later. No matter how much you dislike her personality, her past, or her public relations, you'd be blind to admit she's not sexy. Her hotness was confirmed when a tape of her naked became the most watched thing ever. I don't have stats to back that up, but I'm pretty sure it blew the last episode of Mash clear out of the water. For those who say that tape was spread around just because she was famous, I say "balderdash!" And then I'll explain that what balderdash means is that her fame helped the tape spread, but her hotness made it spread farther and faster. No one would have been file-sharing a greenish bootleg of Bea Arthur. Though, much like a car-wreck, I'd probably glance at it before speeding away, happy I wasn't involved.
Yes, Paris is hot - in theory. Hotness is directly tied in to how many guys a girl has already slept with. And, I'm still just speculating, but I think she's taken more hits than her website (oh, snap!).
What about her personality? I don't know her, so I just have to answer based on what she looks like in the media - which is a self-aggrandizing conceited un-feeling racist, and that makes her kind of ugly. While many people don't have to like a girl's personality to sleep with her, I only like girls who I don't want to strangle in the morning. I am, of course, just speculating.
I also promised I'd get to the possible issue of disease. While Paris probably has PR people reminding her to use protection before and while she's having sex, I'd be scared that anyone that promiscuous could be, well, oozing something other than sex appeal. Yes, I know it's gross, but so is Chlamydia.
That brings me to my well thought out answer. Having sex with Paris Hilton wouldn't lead to money or cool parties, she's not as hot as she looks, her personality seems abhorrent, she might give me the clap, and I'd have more bragging rights if I turned her down.
So, in closing, yes, I would have sex with Paris Hilton.

Chorionic Villus Sampling
Chorionic villus sampling, or CVS, is a prenatal test that can detect certain genetic abnormalities in the fetus. To perform the test, a physician uses a needle to collect cells from the placenta. These cells are then analyzed for genetic problems.
Prenatal testing is often a topic of concern for parents-to-be. It is important to remember that most tests are normal, and abnormal results may open opportunities for successful interventions or informed choices.
CVS is not a routine test. It may be offered to pregnant women who have an increased risk of having a baby with a genetic birth defect that can be detected by CVS. These women include the following:
- Those who will be 35 or older on their delivery date
- Those who have had a previous pregnancy or baby with a certain genetic abnormality
- Those who have a family history of a certain genetic disorder
CVS is a diagnostic test usually performed at 10 to 12 weeks of pregnancy for women who have had an abnormal screening test. In comparison, amniocentesis is usually performed at 15 to 18 weeks. About 1 in 200 to 1 in 300 women undergoing CVS will miscarry. Doctors who perform many CVS procedures have the lowest risk of miscarriage, so make sure your provider is someone with lots of experience doing CVS.
Early CVS, prior to 9 weeks, sometimes causes birth defects in the limbs, for example, missing fingers and toes, and sometimes malformations in the tongue and jaw.
CVS may be chosen as the method of prenatal testing for those unable to have an amniocentesis, and those who may consider a therapeutic abortion in the case of birth defects. If the fetus has serious complications, an earlier abortion is often easier and safer than a second trimester abortion or possible second trimester miscarriage.
How Can I Prepare?
Deciding to undergo prenatal genetic testing is a complex, personal decision. You may wish to consult with a genetic counselor to discuss the pros and cons of testing and how the test results may affect you and your family.
Ask your health care provider to fully explain the benefits and risks of the procedure. Before having CVS, your health care provider will ask you to sign a consent form.
You may be asked to drink fluids and refrain from urinating for a few hours before the test. A full bladder can help aid in the proper positioning of the uterus.
What Will Happen?
There are two ways to perform CVS: through the cervix (transcervical CVS) and through the abdomen (transabdominal CVS). Transabdominal CVS appears to have a lower risk of miscarriage. If it's not possible to reach the placenta through the abdomen, the health care provider may go through the cervix.
If the test is done through the cervix, the vagina and cervix are cleaned with an antiseptic. Guided by ultrasound, the doctor threads a catheter through the vagina and cervix to the chorionic villus, the threads of tissue (villi) that attach the amniotic sac to the uterine wall.
The doctor then suctions a small amount of the villi with a syringe. The cells of the villi, which usually contain the same genetic information as the fetus, are then analyzed to rule out or detect certain genetic abnormalities.
Some women experience no pain with the transcervical CVS; others report feeling a pressure or cramping similar to a pelvic exam.
When CVS is performed through the abdomen, it is much like amniocentesis. An ultrasound is used to guide a thin, hollow needle through the abdomen toward the chorionic villus. Some of the villi are then suctioned through the needle, extracted, and later analyzed.
The transabdominal CVS may feel similar to a blood draw.
Women are often advised to rest for a few hours after CVS. Some women experience cramping or spotting (bleeding) for a day or two after the procedure.
Test results are usually available in a few days to two weeks. More than 95% of women who undergo CVS will find out that their fetus is genetically normal.
CVS can accurately rule out or detect certain genetic abnormalities more than 99% of the time. Sometimes the results of the test are inconclusive. A woman with inconclusive CVS results may choose to have amniocentesis later in her pregnancy.
Your doctor may perform a follow-up ultrasound to make sure the fetus came through the procedure unharmed.
What Are the Risks?
Risks associated with CVS include miscarriage, birth defects, rupture of the amniotic sac, uterine infection, and vaginal bleeding.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Does CVS detect the same abnormalities that amniocentesis does?
A: With the exception of neural tube defects such as spina bifida, CVS can rule out or detect the same genetic disorders as amniocentesis.
Q: If a birth defect is detected in my fetus, can it be treated?
A: There are a few conditions that can be treated prenatally; however, the majority of congenital birth defects detected by CVS cannot be reversed. Future research may lead to additional treatments for specific congenital birth defects. Some couples choose to have an abortion if they learn their fetus has a severe abnormality.

"Sh*tty Mom" book battles "tiger mother" syndrome with laughs
NEW YORK (AP) -- One mom lured her daughter to bed -- at age 8 -- with a trail of chocolate chips up her townhouse stairs. Another found herself on the floor of a plane screaming "Save the Jelly Bellys!" They spilled as she fed them to her preschooler to fend off in-flight earache meltdowns.
A third mom who avoids sweets and high fructose corn syrup like they were poison has her toddler begging for his "medicine candy" when it's time to take the dreaded Tylenol.
Don't go diving for your dog-eared parenting guides or Googling Dr. Sears on the above, but if you're looking for a little validation of your crappiest mom moments as not such a huge deal after all, hunt down "Sh-tty Mom," the unofficial companion to last year's best-seller "Go the (Bleep) to Sleep."
The latest in irreverent parenting books is part parody and part painful truth. It's written by four very busy, often tired working moms looking to offer some overdue laughs as counterpoint to today's parenting-to-perfection mania.
"Even the helicopter moms and tiger moms have their shitty mom moments. Maybe they missed their daughter's fifth ballet practice that week or were five minutes late to her piano lesson," said co-writer Mary Ann Zoellner. "The whole idea of the book is to just give yourself a break."
Zoellner and Alicia Ybarbo, both segment producers for the "Today" show, cooked up the idea with Karen Moline one night over margaritas about three years ago. One among them was avoiding her kids' bedtime madness back home.
The three were paired by an agent with Laurie Kilmartin, a joke master for "Conan" and single mom to a 5-year-old in Burbank, Calif.
"The target audience is women who are tired of books coming out that tell you you're kind of doing everything wrong and if you only did this, this and this you would be doing a better job and your kids would turn out better," Kilmartin said. "I think tiger mom put everyone over the deep end, and so it was sort of a pushback."
Written in guide format, the book includes easily consumed chapters and tips like these:
1) Send your daughter sick to daycare. Not bubonic plague sick. Just sniffle sick. And maybe a little fever, something you wouldn't know about because you avoid the thermometer to preserve deniability.
2) Pretend you don't know your son in the playground after a sand-throwing incident, leaving the discipline to the victim's mom because she seems really good at it.
3) Play dead while your daughter scream-whispers "Are you awake?" at 5 a.m., at least until you've trained her to head for daddy's side.
One chapter is titled "Stop Looking for a Great Babysitter and Settle for One Who Shows Up On Time." Another, "How to Deal with Moms Who Exercise," suggests -- if you're in survival mode -- limiting friendships to other "bare-minimum moms," avoiding those who throw their abs in your face.
There's "This Tradition Must Die: Handwritten Thank-you Notes" and "Unspeakable Evil: Private Birthday Party -- with a Bouncy Castle -- at a Public Park." Has your son stormed the castle uninvited? "Keep a low profile until your kid gets busted. It's best not to outwardly condone grifty behavior."
The book out in mid-September just hit the New York Times best-seller list at 12th in its category and the five co-writers are fielding supportive email, including one from Alicia Hunter in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
She has a 9-year-old and a 6-year-old and immediately recognized herself in print. Among her favorite book bits:
"The chapter on hating the zoo/playing with my kids in general when they ask me to use my imagination," Hunter said in an interview, "Let's play school! Let's play house! Let's play grocery store! Unless it's a board game WE actually like, please do not ask us to play a game that involves using our imagination. We used that up by the time we were 13."
Count Hunter, a beauty and weight-loss coach, among moms who never felt a kinship with those who read each piece of paper that comes home from school, have dry erase boards listing deadlines for homework and fulfill the teacher's wish list of supplies five minutes after said supplies are requested.
The two daughters of Jelly Belly mom Robyn Roth-Moise in Manhattan are grown now, but she bought several copies of the book for friends.
"I can remember having to go to the store and my daughter had chicken pox and there was no one to watch her," she said. "So I did what every mom does, wrapped her up and prayed no one noticed her. Did I feel guilty? Yes. Did I have another option? No."
Corporate trainer Liz Wolfe in New York has an 11-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl, the latter being the follower of chocolate chips -- not, for the record, directly to bed but to the bathroom sink first to brush her teeth.
Wolfe is often frustrated by parenting experts and plans to hop on the "Sh-tty Mom" bandwagon.
"Here I am, a college educated business owner, making all kinds of good stuff happen in my life, and I still can't live up to the ideal mother image," she said. "I wish my kid loved to do homework, or was one of those kids who came when I called them etc., etc., but sadly they don't. Short of beating them into submission, I simply do the best I can."
For Ybarbo, who has four Emmys and two kids, best sometimes means locking herself in a closet for a work call while her kids are in front of the TV watching "Top Gear."
Zoellner, with three Emmys of her own and two kids, says having it all isn't a myth if it means having it all on alternating weeks -- one filled with vegetables and the next with too many cupcakes.
"Some weeks you can do it all. Some weeks you can't do it all. Some weeks we're shitty moms. Some weeks we're shitty wives. Some weeks we're shitty producers," she said. "It's really all about laughing at those less-than-perfect moments."

The Olympic Development Program is a national process for identifying and developing the best youth soccer players. The process promotes players to the U.S. National Teams, which represent the United States in international competition, such as the Youth World Cup and the Olympics. The main ODP objective is to identify, evaluate and train highly talented male and female youth soccer players. As part of this national effort, Cal North ODP is dedicated to developing the highest level of youth soccer. This objective must be achieved in an atmosphere of integrity, fairness and impartiality. The player's physical and cognitive skills and attitude must be the only criteria for the program. The procedure to achieve this objective must be approved by the Cal North Board of Directors and must not conflict with any US Youth Soccer or United States Soccer Federation (USSF) policies.
Additional Objectives
- Evaluate and select players in each ODP age group for a State pool of players from which State players are selected.
- Advance the soccer skills of players in each ODP age group.
- Provide competitions for State Teams in each ODP age group.
While individual leagues or districts may have additional objectives for their local programs, those objectives must not adversely affect the success of the ODP.
ODP participation does not mean that players do not participate on their club team. ODP participation, whether at the State, Regional or National level, is concurrent with club team participation. The advantages often outweigh any conflicts this might pose. All players are placed in pools by their birth year as opposed to the age groupings for league or club teams.
State ODP
State ODP is administrated at the State level by the State ODP Technical Director and the Cal North State Office. All information regarding State ODP will be posted on the Cal North website. Find out more about State ODP Tryouts and Player Pools.
Regional ODP
The regional level of ODP is administrated by US Youth Soccer Region IV. Players are selected to the regional pools from those who attend Region IV ODP Camp. Players selected to attend ODP camp are upon recommendation of their state association or come with the State ODP team.
Youth National Teams
The Youth National team program is administrated by US Soccer. For more information on the Youth National Team program go to ussoccer.com.

I saved up my Temple Run coins and bought a utility (specfically, the one that looks sort of like wings, and says "When active, you resurrect immediately after death").
I have played a whole bunch of runs (and died multiple times) but never was able to actually use the utility I bought.
What do I have to do to make this utility active, so that I can actually use it (and ressurect)?

With all of the talk about tax returns dominating the national news, Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren undoubtedly figured she could make some hay against Scott Brown on the topic, and get a little national media attention in the process. Why she thought that Brown, an attorney who has spent 30 years in the National Guard and had just been promoted to the rank of colonel, was wealthy enough to make income-tax returns a big issue is itself a mystery than may never be unraveled.
But unraveled is a great way to describe her attack — after the media pointed out that Brown has already disclosed more years of income-tax returns than Warren has:
Elizabeth Warren demanded Monday that Senator Scott Brown release more of his tax returns. The only problem was that Brown, her Republican rival, had already released six years of tax returns while Warren has refused to release more than four years of her filings.
Now that Brown has been established as the more transparent candidate in the race, will Warren match Brown? Nope:
Asked to reconcile that apparent conflict, Warren backed off her demand, saying today that six years was enough. She did not, however, offer to release any more of her IRS filings.
Warren earlier tried to make the case that Brown should release twenty years of tax returns, the length of time that Brown has held public office in Massachusetts. Did she hold herself to that standard? If I'm asking the question …
"I think Scott Brown should release his tax returns for all the years he's been in public service," Warren said. "He's been in public service for 20 years, then he should have 20 years of tax returns." …
And even under that standard, Warren has limited her definition for her own career in public service. …
But she has not included her work from 1995 to 1997 as adviser to the National Bankruptcy Review Commission, or her 2006 appointment to the FDIC Advisory Committee on Economic Inclusion.
Did Warren even bother to check on Brown's disclosure before stepping onto this political banana peel? Apparently not. If Warren is this incompetent at campaigning, research, and analysis, it's a good thing that Republicans blocked her path to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Instead of riding high on a national wave of tax-return buzz, Warren has to hope no one notices her hypocrisy and incompetence.

What comes to mind when you think of the Datsun 510? Do you imagine the little coupe being hammered around a track with a transplanted SR20DET motor under its hood? Do you think of it flying around a rally course, beaten half to hell but still going like a coked-out Japanese Energizer bunny?
Today, the 510 is thought of as one of the best budget racecars ever made. Its small size and RWD setup have made it ideal for motorsports since its inception. But there was also a time when the 510 was a respectable car for normal people who had traditional moral values and little inclination for drifting.
This ad, which appears to be from the late 1960s, shows us a time when the 510 had a much more quiet life. In it, we see a young woman driving her Datsun to pick up her husband at the airport. She carefully uses its independent rear suspension to navigate the construction hazards that threatened to overwhelm her meager lady-brain. Then she breathes a sigh of relief as her husband (Father? He looks quite a bit older) takes the wheel and she no longer has to drive.
It's not as absurdly sexist as the infamous Goodyear Polyglas ad, but it's close. All the while, the 510 putters along at legal speeds while idyllic jazz-flute music plays in the background. It's enough to put you to sleep.
We know you're bored, little Datsun 510. But hang in there — one day, you will be called upon to do battle with a Dodge Neon or a first-gen MR2 in some Lemons race. Your time will come.

@BleacherReport :"Rajon Rondo has torn his ACL and will need surgery. Done for the season, per ABC."
It's official now (BOS confirmed), huge loss for the Celtics, one of my favorite NBA ballers.
Celtics will become lottery team without Rondo. What a shame he is my favourite PG in the NBA.
Peace out Celtics, enjoy Avery Bradley, the new Keyon Dooling.
Sorry smokes!
Wouldn't wish an injury like this on anyone, no matter who they are and what team they are on. That said, Rondo going down for the season can only be advantagous to the Knicks. Even though they beat us without Rondo earlier in the season, without him for the rest of the season will seriously hurt them as a team over time.
I'm happy about this I'm a Knicks fan and I hate the Celtics and I hate Rondo. I don't feel guilty about enjoying Rondo's setback. I hate Green and bleed orange and blue.
With that said, I enjoy Boston's losing streak right now and hope they continue to sink and sink and build around mediocre prospects like Bradley and Sullinger who won't lead them far.
It's confirmed that he does have a torn Acl and is out for the rest of the season, I wouldn't wish such a devastating injury on anyone.
I think the celtics should blow the team up though... yeah they'll probably be the 8th seed... only to be beaten in the 1st round by the heat. Pierce needs to be traded before the deadline before he ends up having an injury and his value takes a tumble
Jerked off to this twice.

In an interview with CNN, Jay-Z was asked about his feelings in the wake of President Obama declaring his support for gay marriage. Jay said that not granting gay people the right to get married is "holding the country back." He added: "What people do in their own homes is their business and you can choose to love whoever you love. That's their business. [It] is no different than discriminating against blacks. It's discrimination plain and simple." When the reporter asked whether Obama's stance would cost him votes, Jay insisted: "It's really not about votes.

I'm lucky that the Easton branch of the Talbot County Free Library system houses the county's Maryland Room. I've used the Maryland Room several times to access resources like county land records, the vertical file, rare biographies and more.
Talbot County has a rich history and this is reflected in the Maryland Room's collection, which features manuscripts by James Michener (author of Chesapeake) and also papers related to Frederick Douglass.
The Maryland Room also houses photo collections, genealogies, map collections and ephemera representing the region's history. It is an impressive archive and worthy of a visit to see what's there even if you don't have a particular project to work on.
I've gotten to know the Maryland Room's librarian, Becky Riti, as she has helped me with my research projects many times. I was able to return the favor earlier this year by helping her to scour the vertical file and local history books for Easton history tidbits to be included in the town's tricentennial calendar (2010 marks Easton's 300th anniversary).

My Hometown on Monday Week 4 - H L Miller
Harmon L. (H. L.) MILLER was the 3rd son and 5th child of John and Rebecca Firestone CARLE MILLER, according to family records. He was born 13 Dec 1840 in Ohio.
He first appears in the U.S. Census with his family in the 1850 count on 3 Sep 1850 in Brady Township Dist No. 162, Williams Co, OH, age 9, b. OH. He has already gone out on his own by the time of the 1860 census.
He married Elizabeth Amelia STOUGH on 10 Oct 1867. Records indicate that their first daughter, Clara, was born in late 1868 or early 1869, in Ohio. It also appears they moved to Iowa shortly after her birth. The family appears in the 1870 U.S. Census taken on 20 Jun 1870 in Richland Township, Guthrie Co, IA, Post Office: Panora. Harmon L. is listed as age 29, Farmer, R.E. worth 5,000, P.E. worth 700, b. OH with wife Amelia, age 24, b. OH; Clara, age 2, b. OH; William, born May 1870, IA (William did not survive to his 10th birthday).
Harmon and Amelia and family appear to have prospered in Iowa, as the 1880 U.S. Census reveals a much expanded family and lifestyle status. Still in Richland Township, Guthrie Co, IA, Harmon L. is listed as a Farmer, age 39, E. Amelia, his wife, age 34; Clara, age 11; Frank S., age 9; Charles W., age 5, and Josie, age 3. Five others are in the household: May Stough, age 18, a sister-in-law; and four servants: Frank Rowley, age 22 (actually a nephew); Joseph, age 20, and Stincel Baltasser, age 24, b. PA; and Sessie Erickson, age 22, b. U.S.S. unknown, parents b. Sweden. Family records show that their youngest daughter, Ona, was born in Coon Rapids, late in 1880.
In 1882, H. L. Miller founded The City Bank in Coon Rapids, and served as President, becoming quite successful. His family moved to their residence in Coon Rapids, Carroll Co, IA, just a few miles away from their farm in Richland Township, Guthrie Co, IA.
Several news items appeared in the Coon Rapids Enterprise from the period:
31 May 1883: Ad for The City Bank, H. L. Miller, President
7 Jun 1883: City Councilmen include H. L. Miller.
14 Sep 1883: Republican Primary - delegate to county convention: H. L. Miller
19 Oct 1883: Josie Miller, about eight years of age, daughter of M/M H. L. Miller, died yesterday morning of diptheria after an illness of six days... Ona Miller, another daughter, age three, is also very low with the same disease.
26 Oct 1883: Mr. & Mrs. H. L. Miller desire us to extend their thanks to the kind friends who lent their aid and assistance during the illness and death of their daughters.
9 Nov 1883: In the drawing Monday evening at L. S. Caswell's for the beautiful wax doll which was been on exhibit in their show window for a week now, Master Frank Miller, son of the banker, proved to hold the winning number. Frank is proud of his luck, but more so of his body (sp?), and as he walked off up the street with his handsome price we have no doubt thoughts rested on some fair little girl whom he would like to give it to, if he could manage to keep the boys from finding it out.
14 Mar 1884: Female suffrages in Coon Rapids had a set-back last Monday. In the contest for the election of two school directors Messrs. H. L. Miller and B. H. Shote were candidates on one ticket and their wives on the other, the ladies receiving seven votes each, and the gentlemen eighteen each.
18 Apr 1884: A Coal Company was formed: H. L. Miller elected President.
13 Jun 1884: H. L. and George Miller left last Tuesday for western Nebraska to view the country.
27 Jun 1884: H. L. and George Miller returned Friday from their trip through Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado. They seem to have been very much impressed with the mountains and other scenery of the latter state.
4 July 1884: H. L. Miller got up the lemonade at his bank one of the hot days this week. A seventh child, a daughter, Faye, was born on 9 Jun 1886. She died 25 May 1899, and was buried in Guthrie, OK, in what became the family plot. In about 1886 his uncle Samuel, who had been living with the family, died and was buried in Coon Rapids.
For 1886 -1887, H.L. Miller is listed as City Councilman and George Miller as Street Commissioner.
Son, Frank S. Miller, graduated from Coon Rapids High School in 1888, in the first graduating class there. His sister, Clara, apparently finished her local schooling in Panora, two years earlier. Later, she attended both Grinnell College and Drake University, according to family information. Brother Charles W. Miller graduated from Coon Rapids High School in the Class of 1890, the second graduating class at the school. He lived in Aberdeen, Washington in 1917.
Harmon's father, John Miller, died in Edgerton, Williams Co, OH, on 7 Sep 1888, at the age of nearly 82 years. It appears that shortly thereafter, his mother moved to Coon Rapids to be with his family. About the same time, his sister, Ellen, with her four children, moved to town. She had been recovering from an illness in Ohio. Her children came from their home in Deer Lodge, MT. She was divorced by her husband, James P. Preston in 1889.
Harmon's mother, Rebecca, died on 6 Oct 1892 at their home in Coon Rapids, IA. Her body was returned to Ohio for burial with her husband in the Shiffler Cemetery, Jefferson Township, Williams County.
The H. L. Miller family moved to Guthrie, Logan County, Oklahoma in 1894. A newspaper account of his death describes his activities: "(he) ... came to Logan county shortly after the opening and lived here until a few years ago..."
Family records described Harmon as "Investor in land and oil wells in and near Guthrie, OK" and as "a wealthy banker and speculator."
I (Bill) have personally examined some of his land and oil holdings records in Logan county, OK. They were extensive.
Finally, to close the loop, the youngest of the four children of his sister, Ellen, who moved to Coon Rapids (because H. L. was here!), was my grandmother, Ellen Rebecca PESTON BALLARD SMITH (see Worldconnect.com listing). Ellen's first husband, Grant BALLARD, died of a freak accident. She married my grandfather, William Emanuel SMITH (from whom I got my first given name) on 11 May 1904 and they had nine children, all born and raised at the Homeplace.
Families are Forever! ;-)

Bill, I'd bet that the dinner time conversation at the Miller and Shote homes was tense after the 1884 school director election. Thanks for sharing this bit of history.ReplyDelete
Yes, wouldn't that have been interesting to hear?!ReplyDelete
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

Don't you just love those 'society notes' in the newspapers? You can just imagine the scenery they gazed at on their trip! That was a fun read!
"Guided by the Ancestors"
Yes, George. The 100 years ago and 75 years ago columns in the Hometown paper are my favorites!ReplyDelete
I have to say...although I caution the new genealogists to take note of the "whole" paper.. I usually skip to the social "gossip" column first. Then I go back to analyze the rest. How fun!ReplyDelete

This weeks blog post is a follow up on a community yarn bombing project that I have been following on Bruny Island Tasmania. These colourful knitted and crocheted, yarn bombs where produced by a group of highly talented crafters, who are part of an elderly citizens respite group called BIRCH. This talented group have been yarn bombing the Jane Finn community room at the Alonnah Health Centre on Bruny Island, an Island in the Southern Ocean, off the coast of Southern Tasmania in Australia.
Author Archives: yarnbomb
The ladies from Bruny Island Respite House BIRCH have been doing some great yarn bombing in the Jane Finn room at the Bruny Island Health Centre in Alonnah on Bruny Island, Tasmania. I slipped in on my day off and snapped some photographs. The ladies at the reception where very accommodating when I asked to take a peek.
What a great community project done by some great elderly citizens. What wonderful projects people can undertake when they get together over a cup of tea and a biscuit.
The ladies have been knitting and crocheting up a storm & I will be keeping track of their efforts so watch this space for more photographs soon.

The Hope College campus continues to operate at capacity with enrollment above 3,200 for the fifth consecutive year.
Hope has enrolled 3,202 students this fall, the fifth time since the fall of 2006 that enrollment has topped 3,200. Last year's enrollment headcount was 3,230.
The student body consists of 1,267 men and 1,935 women from 44 states and territories and 29 foreign countries. The total includes 766 first-time students.
With the enrollment headcount remaining high, the college's full-time-equivalent enrollment is tied for the second-highest level ever. The "full-time-equivalent" figures are a synthesis of full-time and part-time enrollment, and help the college measure the demand on its resources. Hope's total this year 3,177.1, tied with the fall 2008 figure; last year's total was a record-high 3,201.8.
The enrollment by class, with last year's class in parentheses, is: freshmen, 781 (812); sophomores, 742 (820); juniors, 739 (753); seniors, 877 (768); and special students, 63 (77).
Students transferring to Hope from other colleges and universities total 59, compared with 74 in 2009. There are 86 students in off-campus programs, compared to 111 last year.
The largest representation is from Michigan with 2,204 students. Other states represented with 10 or more students include: Illinois, 382; Indiana, 110; Ohio, 80; Minnesota, 47; Wisconsin, 45; California, 40; New York, 29; Colorado and New Jersey, 22 each; Pennsylvania, 20; Iowa, 19; Florida, 17; Texas, 12; and Maryland, 10.

The upcoming release of the James Bond movie Skyfall, combined with the 50th anniversary of the franchise, has sent fans of the suave spy into overdrive. Speculation about the plot and who will sing the theme tune (Adele), has been joined by stories that pick apart everything from his ingenious - but scientifically dubious - gadgets to the ins and outs of his sex life.
But now, James Bond fans and wannabe spies alike may have the ultimate outlet for their spy ambitions. Research firm Applied Research Associates, has just launched a website that invites the public—meaning anyone, anywhere—to sign up and try their hand at intelligence forecasting. The website is part of an effort, sponsored by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (Iarpa), to understand the potential benefits of so-called crowdsourcing for predicting future events. Crowdsourcing aims to use the "wisdom of crowds" and was popularised by projects like Wikipedia.
Like Darpa, its better-known counterpart in the Pentagon, Iarpa funds far-out research ideas. However, Iarpa works on ideas that could eventually be used by the likes of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), rather than the military. "The goal that Iarpa has is to eventually transition this to the intelligence community, and use it for something like the National Intelligence Estimates," says Jenn Carter, who works on the project.
There's good reason for Iarpa's interest in finding new ways to collect useful information: the intelligence community has often been blasted for its failure to forecast critical world events, from the fall of the Soviet Union to the Arab Spring that swept across North Africa and the Middle East. It was also heavily criticized for its National Intelligence Estimate in 2002, which supported claims that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
Those failures raised larger questions about how the intelligence agencies come up with forecasts, which is usually a deliberative process involving a large number of analysts. The Iarpa project, known officially as Aggregative Contingent Estimation, is looking at whether crowdsourcing can result in more accurate forecasts about future events than those traditional forms of intelligence estimation.
Applied Research Associates actually started the project last year with another website called Forecasting Ace, which had over 2,000 registered contributors making predictions on everything from the future of space exploration to political elections. On the new website, Global Crowd Intelligence, the company hopes that number will grow substantially by making forecasting more like a game of spy versus spy.
"When we contacted our contributors, they said we should try to make the whole process more fun," says Dirk Warnaar, the principal investigator for the project.
Indeed, what users wanted, it turned out, was something competitive, so that's what the company has given them. The new website rewards players who successfully forecast future events by giving them privileged access to certain "missions," and also allowing them to collect reputation points, which can then be used for online bragging rights. When contributors enter the new site, they start off as junior analysts, but eventually progress to higher levels, allowing them to work on privileged missions.
The game works by allowing the newly minted analysts to choose from any number of "missions" to forecast. The forecasts incorporated in the website run the gamut, from those that obviously might be of theoretical interest to intelligence agencies, like a "government force will gain control of the Somali town of Kismayo before 1 November 2012," to market predictions, such as the likelihood that Apple will introduce a mini-iPad by a specific date. Analysts attach a specific percentage to the even, such as 80% probability, and then wager "reputation points" on their forecast. They win points, depending on how close their forecast matches reality. The more points you win, the higher you progress.
The idea of crowdsourcing geopolitical forecasting is increasing in popularity, and not just for spies. Wikistrat, a private company touted as "the world's first massively multiplayer online consultancy," was founded in 2002, and is using crowdsourcing to generate scenarios about future geo-political events. It recently released a report based on a crowdsourced simulation looking at China's future naval powers.
Warnaar says that Wikistrat's approach appears to rely on developing "what-if scenarios," rather than attaching a probability to a specific event happening, which is the goal of the Iarpa project.
Spies like us
Of course, the ultimate question is: how good are the crowd's predictions? Warnaar compares this science to weather forecasting, which albeit imperfect, still provides useful and reasonably accurate information on future events. Part of what helps weather forecasters improve their prediction is constant feedback: if they predict rain, and they get it wrong (or right), they instantly learn. "This constant feedback makes them well-calibrated," says Warnaar.
In fact, this sort of "self-calibration" is how one of the crowdsourcing models works: if the "crowd," predicts that an event is going to happen with an 80% probability, but in reality this should have been 60% (crowds tend to be overconfident), then the model is able to aggregate all of the information to churn out a more accurate prediction.
The system is also designed to ensure that any efforts to sabotage forecasts are minimized. "Everyone can make forecasts but not all of those forecasts are included in our models and each forecast may have a different weight," says Warnaar. "You would therefore have to be a consistently good forecaster to be able to influence the aggregate forecast with a rogue prediction, but even then your forecast must be consistent with your previous pattern."
To catch any potential rogue elements, the system also flags up any unusual activity for further scrutiny. "So far we've not found any evidence that a single forecaster or group of forecasters was able to purposely skew the results," he says.
The project is already yielding results: in the first year, Warnaar says, they were able to show that the crowdsourced forecasts were 25% more accurate than forecasts produced by a control group, which involved simply averaging the forecasts made by a number of individuals. The plan is double that accuracy over the next year to 50%.
In addition to improving intelligence forecasts, the research may also yield other benefits, such as understanding what type of person is better at predicting future events. "There is very little research that points to what makes a good forecaster," says Warnaar.
Those working on the current project are careful to note that the current project is about research, not spying. The names and personal information of the users are not provided to Iarpa, only the results of the forecast. Users entering the site must provide an email, but not a real name, and only answer two questions: whether they are over the age of 18 and if they are American citizens.
But for those who dream of being James Bond, or conversely, worry that their predictions could be used by spies, the website has a simple disclaimer: "Forecast topics are not related to actual intelligence operations."

Maui High Performance Computing Center donates supercomputer to UH HiloUniversity of Hawaiʻi
UH Information Technology Services
HILO/ MAUI, HAWAIʻI — The Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC) announced that its recently decommissioned IBM Netfinity Cluster supercomputer system is being donated to the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo to support high performance computing instruction and research. Known throughout the Department of Defense research community as "Huinalu", the IBM cluster was one of the 100 most powerful supercomputers in the world when first deployed at MHPCC just over five years ago.
The system is based on .933 GHz Intel Pentium III processors arranged in 128 two-processor nodes, each with 1GB of RAM and connected as a single system using the Myrinet interconnect. The system will be deployed at the UH-Hilo campus in the Computer Science Department's computer architecture lab headed by Dr. Sevki Erdogan. The system will be the first of its kind at the UH-Hilo campus and will provide approximately 254 GigaFLOPS (250 billion floating point operations per second) of raw computing power.
The donation takes place under the auspices of the Educational Partnership Agreement between the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) Directed Energy Directorate and the University of Hawaiʻi, which manages MHPCC for AFRL. Dr. David Lassner, UH Principal Investigator for MHPCC, commented "This donation provides UH-Hilo with a campus-based capability that would otherwise be unavailable while giving UH-Hilo students more educational opportunities that better prepare them for employment in Hawaiʻi's advanced scientific research community."
The donated supercomputer system was packed and shipped from Maui on August 7 and is expected to be in use at UH-Hilo by the end of August. MHPCC decommissioned Huinalu to make room for its newest high performance computing system, a 1,280 node platform from Dell that is expected to be available for first testing early in September. Gene Bal, executive director of MHPCC states, "We are very pleased to be in the position to provide this equipment to the university. This system will introduce UH — Hilo students and faculty to high performance computing and will be an excellent platform for use in many areas, including education, training, and research."
The new system will complement the existing resources at the UH - Hilo campus and will provide a core platform for students in graduate and undergraduate science and engineering programs to expand their knowledge of high performance computing architectures and programming techniques. "Our partnership with the University of Hawaiʻi has been very successful at MHPCC and we are glad to see that as we expand our own capabilities at MHPCC, the University can also benefit from our growth", noted Major Mike Pirtle, MHPCC AFRL Director.
Dr. Erdogan and his staff and students at the computer architecture lab on the UH-Hilo campus have been preparing the lab for the installation for over a month. Dr. Erdogan commented, "While we have had access to remote high performance computing before, the availability of these resources in our own lab creates tremendous new opportunities to support our education and research programs." Dr. Judith Gersting, chair of the UH-Hilo Computer Science Department, added "This support from MHPCC and the UH System is enabling us to expand more aggressively into high performance computing, one of the more dynamic areas of opportunity for our department."

If anyone is tired of the daily European soap opera with surrealistic tragicomic overtones, they can simply shift their gaze to the 8th largest economy in the world: the insolvent state of California, whose controller just told legislators has just over a month worth of cash left. From the Sacramento Bee: "California will run out of cash by early March if the state does not take swift action to find $3.3 billion through payment delays and borrowing, according to a letter state Controller John Chiang sent to state lawmakers today. The announcement is surprising since lawmakers previously believed the state had enough cash to last through the fiscal year that ends in June." ....uh, oops? But sure, fix the problem of excess debt by more "borrowing" why not. As for the math: "But Chiang said additional cash management solutions are needed because state tax revenues are $2.6 billion less than what Gov. Jerry Brown and state lawmakers assumed in their optimistic budget last year. Meanwhile, Chiang said, the state is spending $2.6 billion more than state leaders planned on." Quick, someone come up with a plan that involves subsidies and tariffs on China, or something else that deflects from what the source of the problem really is. Because the last thing that anyone in America would want to bring up is this thing called "responsibility" for their actions, or, as in now becoming the default case, the lack thereof. And why do that, when time spent so much more productively scapegoating this, and blaming that for one's own massive errors of judgment.
From the Bee:
The Assembly budget committee is considering a bill today that would enable $865 million of borrowing from existing state accounts, Senate Bill 95. Chiang, after consultation with the Department of Finance and state Treasurer Bill Lockyer, is also seeking about $2.4 billion in delayed payments to universities, counties and Medi-Cal, as well as additional borrowing from outside investors.
Absent these actions, the state would fall below its prudent $2.5 billion cash cushion on Feb. 29, Chiang estimated. On March 8, the state would actually end up $730 million in the red. The state would be below the safe cash cushion for several weeks ending April 13, save for several days at the end of March.
With such actions, Chiang believes the state would not have to use IOUs or delay tax refunds, maneuvers that have been relied upon in previous years. But Chiang also said that "more cash solutions may be required if our revenues continue to erode or if disbursements significantly exceed estimates."
So 3 years after Lehman filed for bankruptcy, everyone in the world continues to be terminally insolvent, but because everyone is in the same boat, everyone pretends not to notice and the best thing is just to blame Meredith Whitney for telling it like it is, if not getting the timing quite right? But at least the Fed isn't about to print up a tsunami of dollar-equivalent ones and zeros.

I don't know why but I?have been seeing a lot of top ten lists popping up around the webosphere. Since I have never really compiled a top 10 list for anything, I thought this would be a fun process.
I don't know why, but I?have been seeing a lot of top 10 lists popping up around the webosphere.
Since I have never really compiled a top 10 list for anything, I thought this would be a fun process.
The main problem that struck me was what to make the list about.
Oh, I?could do something about baseball. Like the top 10 reasons I believe the Royals won't win a World Series any time soon, but everybody does one of those.
Then I thought I could do the top 10 reasons why whiners are ruining the newly released "Diablo 3" with their insistence that "Diablo 2" is so much more superior. But even I am getting tired of writing about "Diablo."
No, I?decided to go with something near and dear to me: The top 10 nerdtastic happenings that applied to me for the first half of 2012.
10. The release of the iPad 3, or "the new iPad," as it is refered to by those at Apple.
Though I don't have one, any time Apple makes a new announcements about anything this becomes a big deal to me. Call me an Apple nerd ... guilty!
9. The release of the much-anticipated "Diablo 3."
Though most gamers out there would say that this relaunch by Blizzard was a failure, I don't agree. I?like the game play and look forward to seeing how Blizzard will continue to tweak it to make it just right.
8. My first venture into the tablet world.
This was a big deal in my house. I had been playing around with the idea of owning a tablet for a while. It had to be stylish but cost effective to warrant a purchase. Enter the Kindle Fire, and life is well at the Darling house.
7. The movie "John Carter."
For those that don't know this film, you should go out and give it a rent, it may just surprise you. This film ushered in this years summer blockbuster season, and it was the perfect lead-in.
6. Discovering the Android/iOS app WhatsApp.
For those of you that don't have unlimited texting, this is the app for you. It offers all the functionality of a texting service but at a low-low price of free for the first year.
5. My iPod Nano surprise.
I am sure those of you have seen the "replace your iPod Nano"?recall listings on Facebook. Well I actually gave it a shot. My iPod Nano - 1st Gen hadn't worked in a while, so I?thought, "what was the worst that could happen"??Well, sent in my old iPod Nano and got a new one for absolutely nothing. Thanks, Apple!
4. Discovering the cult film "Bubba Ho-Tep."
For those Bruce Campbell fans out there, this is a must-see. I had heard so many great things about this film but never watched it until this past week. Now I am sorry I was so late to the game.
3. Spotify.
For me, I love to listen to music at work and just about anywhere. I also like to discover new music. Enter Spotify. With Spotify I can listen to albums by my favorite artists and also listen to new bands that are similar to my favorites. Much like Pandora but without feeling as clunky.
2. "The Avengers."
Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye and The Hulk - enough said.
1. Introducing my kids to the "Star Wars" original trilogy.
As a geek dad, this is a moment I?have been dreaming about since I was a kid. Plus, my boys both loved it!?See there, dreams do come true.
And that is my top 10 list. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Now on to the rest of 2012. The rest of the year looks just as exciting and interesting.
Gary Darling is the geekiest employee at the Maryville (Mo.) Daily Forum. His online blog address is justanewdad.blogspot.com, and his email is email@example.com. Drop him a line sometime!

Overall, I was pleased with the tote. The material used for the tote was a bit thin and the actual graphic on the front / back is not quite as bright as depicted in the preview photo, BUT it was well made, eye catching and fairly durable. A solid four out of five.

Some minor news today, with the Jays finalizing the Minor League deal for Japanese lefty Ken Takahashi. Word is that Toronto is also nearing another Minors deal with first baseman/designated hitter Kevin Millar. Jays also claimed reliever T.J. Beam off waivers this week, adding another body to the spring mix.
Now that we've got that out of the way, I'll get to the second edition of the E-mailbag. We've also been given the go ahead to run mailbags again on club sites, but it will now be called "Inbox." I'll probably roll out the first one when I get down to Florida for Spring Training next week.
So keep firing questions to email@example.com or email@example.com.
Hey Jordan,
Just wondering what the status is on Aaron Hill? Is he expected to be ready to go for Spring Training, and are the Jays expecting him to be the everyday second baseman? Thanks.
Allan, Halifax
Hill should be fully recovered from last season's concussion and ready to go for spring. That's what the Jays are saying and that's what Hill has told me this winter. Of course, we'll know for sure once we can watch him running through drills down in Dunedin. If he's healthy, which he should be, I don't see why he wouldn't be Toronto's regular for second — in the field and probably in the lineup, too.
In your opinion, do you believe the 'Cito effect' last season was legit, or just a fluke? I don't have the numbers with me, but I know the Jays drastically produced a lot more than they did earlier in the year under John Gibbons. Can a manager have THAT much influence over a team? Will that translate into next season with this group?
Jeremy, Hamilton
Here are some of the statistics:
Under Gibbons: 35-39 record, .231 with RISP, 49 homers
Under Gaston: 51-37 record, .285 with RISP, 77 homers
The Jays also scored more runs per game and had a higher slugging percentage under Cito, but the on-base percentage went down. Based on the numbers, I think the "Cito effect" was legit. The players all thought it was legit as well. This could be for a number of reasons.
First, a managerial change shows the players that no one is safe — not even a skipper who is a long-time friend of the general manager. That alone could be enough to motivate players to start focusing better and taking things up a level. Beyond just that, though, Gaston and the revamped hitting coaching staff implemented a different philosophy.
It's been written to death, but Gaston emphasized having a plan at the plate and he also tried to have stability with his lineup. He put players in certain spots and tried to keep them there unless injuries or other circumstances dictated a change. It's Cito's view that players are more comfortable when they come to the park knowing they'll be in the order and where they're probably going to be hitting.
Will the changes carry over to this season? Obviously, there's no way to answer that. What I do know is that Gaston is itching to get to work this spring on continuing what he started last year. Rios is a player that Gaston keeps mentioning as one he wants to really work with on his approach at the plate. Gaston is also hoping for more production from the corners.
It'd be hard for Toronto's offense to be worse than it was last season.
Jordan, we are planning to see the Jays on the road somewhere this summer. Since you have been around baseball a lot, is there one city you would recommend?
My favorite cities to visit are Boston and San Francisco, though I usually look forward to the non-baseball related sites. Both cities are beautiful and have great museums and dining. Also, being a runner, these are two great cities to head out on a long run because, while urban, they have great scenery. I love running along the Embarcadero in San Fran or by the Charles River in Boston. I'm also big into history, so Boston appeals to me in that way, too.
Now, moving on to baseball. San Fran still rates high because AT&T Park is gorgeous. I'd also highly recommend Seattle. The city is fantastic and the ballpark is great, and not too far from Vancouver. A lot of Jays fans come to Seattle when Toronto is in town and it's often a rowdier crowd than at Rogers Centre.
If you don't want to head all the way to the West Coast, Chicago is great as well, though I'm biased because I'm from there. You could catch the Cubs and the Sox while in Chicago and there's plenty else to do in town. They have great architecture tours there and the food is awesome. Of course, New York is New York, and you've got two new stadiums there this year.

In 2003, when he won the American League home run title and the AL Most Valuable Player award as a shortstop for the Texas Rangers, Alex Rodriguez tested positive for two anabolic steroids, four sources have independently told Sports Illustrated.
Rodriguez's name appears on a list of 104 players who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball's '03 survey testing, SI's sources say. As part of a joint agreement with the MLB Players Association, the testing was conducted to determine if it was necessary to impose mandatory random drug testing across the major leagues in 2004.
When approached by an SI reporter on Thursday at a gym in Miami, Rodriguez declined to discuss his 2003 test results. "You'll have to talk to the union," said Rodriguez, the Yankees' third baseman since his trade to New York in February 2004. When asked if there was an explanation for his positive test, he said, "I'm not saying anything."
In my opinion, the MVP award Stray Rod recieved in 2003 should be stripped and the high numbers he put up in years 1998 to 2005 should all be asterized in terms of whether he gets in the HOF or not.
But there is a bigger issue here that just got exposed and that is why did Major League Baseball award the MVP award to Stray Rod in 2003 when they knew he tested positive twice.
How hypocritical is that?
The bigger point on this A-Rod issue for me is the hypocricy of Major League Baseball with a major league assist from the players union. MLB, with the approval of the players union ordered this test in 2003 to determine whether it was necessary to invoke mandatory drug testing.
The test results came back to both Major League Baseball and the players union which showed 104 players tested positive, including A-Rod, so mandatory testing was instituted in the spring of 2004.
Major League Baseball and the players union got a court order sealing these test results, to ensure fans didn't know how soiled baseball had become. They tried to bury the problem and even awarded the MVP to A-Rod, who tested positive twice, which I think is outrageous behaviour by MLB.
If baseball wants to truly get over this soiled era, both Major League Baseball and the players union should allow the US government to release the entire 2003 results they've siezed, instead of fighting the action.
Lets get all the cheaters out in the open now so fans know who the real heros are. Records and awards from that era should be adjusted to reflect the true winners, not the ones who won by cheating.
By the way, voting results for the 2003 MVP award were as follows:
Alex Rodriguez, Rangers 242
Carlos Delgado, Blue Jays 213
Jorge Posada, Yankees 194
So, if Carlos didn't test positive and A-Rod did, I believe Carlos Delgado should be awarded the MVP, and it should be stripped from A-Rod.
A man who is not guilty will defend himself,A man who is guilty speaks not.
If Major League Baseball and the players union want to reinstate baseball's credibility they should immediately take the following steps.
1) Release the full test results from 2003 to the fans.
2) Change the rules so any player caught using PED's receives an automatic 60 day suspension on the first offense, 1 year on the 2nd and lifetime on the 3rd. Three strikes and you're out. Any positive test result is released to the public. The list of offending PED's to be identical to the Olympic committees list.
3) Amend all player contracts to allow teams the right to cancel any player agreement if the player tests positive.
4) Analyze all player awards from the period, strip them from players who tested positive and award them to the player who garnished the most votes and was clean.
As fans who pay exorbitant prices for tickets, we have rights and should demand these changes take place or boycott the game.
How many blogs did you post all this on?
Do we get a draft pick for Wilkerson from Boston.lol.
Robert-A few, but clearly not enough.
Garry-I think we get a sandwich pick. I can't believe Boston signed him. What did you think of the Camp signing?
We don't need him.it would be better if Camp pitched against us than for us.lol.
I'm not sure about Camp either. He was fine at the start of the year when batters hadn't seen his sinker before, but they got to him in August (era of 8.10) and September ( 6.75), so I'm wondering if they figured him out and started teeing off on him. We shall see, I guess.
When the New York Yankees re-signed Alex Rodriguez in the fall of 2007, they envisioned the "clean" alternative to Barry Bonds – the knight in shining armor who would erase the stain of steroids from the all-time home run record, and they would bask in the glory of it with their brand, according to New York Daily News baseball columnist Bill Madden.
Now that A-Rod's pursuit looks as counterfeit as Bonds', they should do what's best for the organization: Cut him loose — no matter the cost. As difficult as it is to imagine eating $270 million, the Bombers will be making a statement, not just for the Yankee brand but for baseball as a whole. They will be applauded for it. The Yankees operate under two basic tenets: The relentless pursuit of championships and the fierce protection of their brand. If they are going to remain true to both, then they have no choice but to sever ties with Rodriguez. This winter the Yankees invested $423 million with the signings of CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira. All of that figures to be offset now by the reports that A-Rod was a steroid cheat.
Everywhere the Yankees go this spring and into the season, they will be greeted by choruses of "A-Fraud!" and "A-Roid!" And if you think A-Rod wilted under the pressure of big games before, just imagine his delicate psyche now under the heightened scrutiny of the media and fans. Don't think for a minute that Derek Jeter and the rest of A-Rod's teammates are privately reveling in his exposure as a true phony, as some people are suggesting. This affects all of them, and their pursuit of championships is hindered by his being a constant source of unwanted turmoil.

Great looks, competent menu at the new Pacific Beach spot
Dishing up New American cuisine with seasonal, Mediterranean and Asian ingredients, The Patio on Lamont is one of the most visually striking yet casual restaurants within the city core.
An oversize sculpture — Mummy Man, by Arthur Wickersham — haunts the (recommended) valet area.
There are three dining spaces: A buzzing courtyard. An intimate, more-formal loft (chandeliers; mirrors). And the Pacific Beach compound has a brick-walled lounge with bar, booths and a table crafted from a fallen Torrey Pine.
A new venture from real estate developer Gina Champion-Cain, the Patio seems designed for diners drawn to cool scenery. Really, the layout is so genuinely interesting, the aesthetic so relaxed-but-adult, you can hardly believe it's near PB's party-bar corridor.
So does the restaurant over-rely on good looks rather than kitchen and cocktail genius?
The heart of the Patio is its 40-seat patio. There you'll find chattering diners, some with dogs crouched underneath tables. There's an alfresco fireplace, a living wall of plants, and outdoor heaters because you're a mile away from the damp-breeze-generating Pacific Ocean.
There's a bad table here, stranded alone in traffic by the hostess stand. It's like dining in a high school hallway. I got it once: My request to be moved was shot down — and "No" without "Sorry" always stings, especially when you're early for a reservation and still given the dunce seat.
Speaking of, after opening last fall, the Patio quickly became a busy three-room event. It's popular. Arguably there are only a few other contemporary, date-night-worthy spots in the area (Table 926 is one). So I've needed reservations for three prime-time dinner visits. (I made two failed walk-in attempts; even the bar was tight.)
Now about the menu overseen by executive chef John Medall (the old Red Circle Café; Galileo 101): It's unradical, easygoing. Sauteed shrimp curl in garlic sauce with smoked paprika, cayenne and sliced linguiça, a Portuguese sausage. The Broken Down Nicoise salad has each plain component inexplicably separated, so you can have a forkful of skinny haricot verts or hunks of seared ahi. Sea scallop and Mexican white shrimp let mozzarella and vodka sauce take the lead in an OK Pescador Flatbread.
While the filet mignon in the filet oscar was perfectly cooked to a sweet medium-rare, that was a stingy amount of crab topping it. Dungeness crab was not a headliner in the Dungeness crab and ahi tuna tower. And one night's panko-heavy crab cake special made me think Patio refuses to fork out the crab.
Every dinner begins with a basket of lavash flatbread and sandy lemon breadsticks with a well-liked sun-dried tomato tapenade. Of the many small plates at Patio, get that Sicilian specialty, arancini — breaded and fried Arborio rice balls stuffed with a can't-fail combo of mozzarella and Asiago.
Big plates ($19-$26) can be gluten-free (pan-seared Atlantic salmon) and vegetarian (angel hair primavera).
You like meat? The braised-for-hours pork shank is a toothsome, earthy meat pyramid built to the gods, with leg bone extended, cracklins and roasted shishito pepper. Its companion bacon-Asiago risotto had the right animal flavor, but the texture of gloopy rice pudding.
The Twisted Elvis dessert — crazy-good banana bread, goodish caramelized banana, peanut butter and bananas Foster — is more memorable than the baked-to-order chocolate chip cookies or play-it-safe crème brûlée.
Among the staff, the waitresses in particular were upbeat and plugged into how the food was made.
And the wine list, compiled by Sheila Tracy and offered in half glasses, too, is a rewarding adventure, enhanced by Slovenian and South African whites plus Spanish reds.
But the signature booze feels like the early days of the craft-cocktail movement: Who makes duds with the most crowd-pleasing substance in the world, alcohol? There were meringue-pie levels of egg white in their gin and curaçao signature White Lady. The Mr. Chow was like hot Sriracha in blood orange juice. Grab a rum, honey, lemon, peach bitters Beehive or the bourbon, honey syrup, ginger syrup Twisted Ginger instead, sit on Patio's patio, and look at the open sky above you. There's the constellation Orion. And if you're not hunting for a triumphant meal, perhaps just a bite in an amazing environment, make sure to call ahead.
The Patio on Lamont
4445 Lamont St., Pacific Beach. (858) 412-4648 or thepatioonlamont.com
Details: Small plates $7 to $14; salads $7 to $19; flatbreads $12 to $13; big plates $19-$26. Valet parking $3. Lunch, dinner daily; weekend brunch
The lowdown: A new visually striking yet casual restaurant.
The scene: Relaxed-but-adult setting right by Pacific Beach's party-bar corridor. Go here for a contemporary date night. And bring your dog (the Patio crafts dog biscuits and serves Dawg Grog, brewed in Oregon, for your pet).
Don't miss: The patio. The arancini. The wines. The Beehive or Twisted Ginger cocktails.

President Barack Obama says Democrats have a good chance of keeping control of the Senate, but will face a tougher time taking over the House from Republicans.
Obama, who is in the final stretch of his tight race against Republican candidate Mitt Romney, told radio host Tom Joyner in an interview taped Tuesday that Senate Democrats have a hard time getting much done because of Senate rules that often require 60 votes to advance legislation.
�The Democrats, have a very good chance of retaining control of the Senate, although as you know, the problem with the Senate these days, yeah, they have all kinds of crazy rules that require 60 votes to get anything done, which means the Republicans say no to things,� Obama said. �The House of Representatives is going to be tougher, but so much of this is going to depend on people voting.
Democrats control the Senate 53-47, including two independents who vote with them. Of the 33 seats up for grabs on Election Day, a dozen are considered competitive. Republicans need a net pickup of four seats Election Day to take control if Obama is re-elected.
In the House, Democrats may make some gains but seem unlikely to pick up the 25 seats they need to win control from the GOP. Democrats have been hoping that a strong Election Day performance by Obama could lift their House candidates.

One of the things that amazes me most about the ordinary incandescent light bulb is that in addition to its superb ability to drive up household electric bills (when compared to more efficient CFLs and LEDs), is how much heat one actually gives off. I mean, seriously, you can bake a tray of moist and delicious brownies with a single 100-watter!
To further demonstrate that a whopping 90 percent of the energy emitted by a standard incandescent light bulb is heat and not light, the folks at Cree are sacrificing a poor, unsuspecting chocolate Easter bunny.
Yep, that's right. The North Carolina-based, SXSW party-hosting manufacturer of energy-efficient light bulbs is trying to convince ordinary citizens to jump on the LED train — and, in turn, become "lighting revolutionaries" — through the cruel and unusual destruction of a chocolate Easter bunny. Back in January, on the 131st birthday of the incandescent light bulb, Cree asked Thomas Edison himself to kindly step aside to make way for the company's latest innovation in LED lighting: the TrueWhite Light, the first "no-compromise" LED replacement for the standard 60-watt incandescent bulb. First, Cree bosses around a dead inventor and now they start martyring Easter bunnies! What nerve!
And what great nerve it is, too. For Cree's second-annual Easter-time "meltdown," blogger Ginny Skalski placed two blinged-out bunnies known as "Dudes" directly under two different light bulbs — one a 65-watt incandescent and the other 10.5 Cree LED downlight — and let nature take its course as a flock of Peeps sit and watch in horror. As you can imagine, the Dude placed under the incandescent bulb doesn't fare too well compared to his compadre. Young children upset by confectionary carnage and a certain congresswoman from Minnesota should avert their eyes.
In addition to destroying helpless chocolate Easter bunnies and recruiting Lighting Revolutionaries, Cree is also hosting an amusing photo contest. It's called Cries for Help and it's basically an open invitation for the public to share cringe-inducing photos of dreary, oppressive lighting conditions. Each month, Cree picks one submitted photo as the "Best Example of Bad Lighting" and the person who submitted the winning photo walks away with five Cree CR6 downlights worth a total of $350 (read the complete contest rules here).
I'd submit my very own bathroom (I love you CFL but why do you take 10 minutes to warm up?) but it's camera shy.
Also on MNN: Do your kids still believe in the Easter Bunny?

Student Projects: Cabin Fever
Students recently produced three kinds of shelters for the Upper Valley.
The first, located in Hanover's Oak Hill recreation area, is a wheelchair-accessible treehouse that was a project in ENGS 71: "Structural Analysis." Student teams designed and built one component each—the roof, the walls, the supports—and jointly integrated them into the finished structure. "I always like them to do something real, see it from design on paper all the way through to having it built," says Professor Vicki May. Students got into the spirit. "We had to determine the site, the layout, the elevation of everything, and from there we just let our minds and creativity go wherever we wanted," says Christian Ortiz '11.
The second shelter is a Habitat for Humanity house built a mile south of Hanover. Students in ENGS 44: "Sustainable Design" developed energy-efficient water, heating, and other systems for the house, which was further developed and erected by Habitat for Humanity members. "It is tremendously more energy efficient than the prior Habitat houses, and it has helped change Upper Valley Habitat's approach to energy efficiency and building methods," says studio art Professor Karolina Kawiaka, who taught the project part of the course. "It was great to work on a real project and have such a quick, immediate, local impact," says Anastasia Miliano '12, who worked on the house plans and increasing the R-value of the walls.
The third shelter is Titcomb Cabin, located on Gilman Island, a short paddle from campus down the Connecticut River. After the previous cabin burned down in 2009, engineering students stepped in to lead the rebuilding efforts. "We built the cabin in a way that best utilized the logs we had. We had a basic 3D model in SolidWorks at the beginning but tweaked that design heavily as we went along and as we learned more about the process," says project leader Greg Sokol '10 Th'11. In May CBS News sent reporter Mo Rocca to Gilman Island for a lesson on how to build a log cabin.
