Broken News
Time Warner's Struggling News Channel Lashes Out at Defectors
By Erica C. Barnett, Fri., July 14, 2000
When you think of money-grubbing TV personalities, chances are Jenny Hansson isn't the first person who pops into your mind. Chances are you haven't even heard of Hansson, an ambitious young reporter who left her job covering business news at News 8 Austin last month. In fact, chances are you don't even watch News 8, the 24-hour cable news network run by Time Warner that debuted around this time last year; with four network news programs competing with the no-frills, all-news station for viewers, few people in Austin do. And if you have seen Hansson, you certainly won't remember her as a glamorous, perfectly coiffed onscreen "personality"; her major job duties, in fact, involved lugging a 40-pound camera through the streets of Austin, then setting it up, then filming herself for a segment she would later edit back at News 8's studios. In TV news lingo, Hansson was a "one-man band" -- a common occupation in smaller markets, but almost unheard-of in major markets outside Time Warner's handful of cable news stations across the country.
The work, as anyone who's done it can tell you, was grueling. And the pay was low, no more than $12.50 an hour for a seasoned videojournalist. Few reporters will stick it out long enough to reach that level by choice. Maybe that's why Time Warner felt it had to lock its employees into lengthy (by any standard) three-year contracts, and why it has shown an unusual willingness to try to ensure that its employees stay loyal. In Hansson's case, that meant suing the wayward reporter, who left after less than a year at the station, for the astonishing sum of $50,000 -- more than twice her annual salary, which amounted to around $24,000.
"If I lose [this lawsuit], I'll have to file for bankruptcy," says Hansson, who is currently working as a reporter at Fox affiliate KABB in San Antonio. "I have credit cards; we had to buy clothes to wear on-air. We had to look nice ... I have a lot of bills already. I have $30 in my checking account."
The fact that the lawsuit has even been filed (by local heavyweights Fulbright & Jaworski, no less), more than the amount Time Warner is seeking, says everything there is to know about the cable behemoth's attitude toward recruitment and retention. Hansson's contract -- a maze of confusing legal terms and clauses setting limitations on her future employment -- is written in a manner that virtually prohibits her from leaving News 8 for any reason until the term of the contract is complete. The relevant portion of the contract -- the part Time Warner is suing Hansson to uphold -- says she can only leave the station to be a videojournalist (a term Hansson's lawyer interprets to mean a one-man band) for a TV station in one of the 30 largest markets nationwide. If Hansson had wanted to leave TV news altogether, in other words, under the terms of her contract she could not. In return, the contract promises Hansson regular yearly raises of less than 35 cents an hour.
A Binding Contract
"This contract restricts her from taking a job as a reporter at any other station, or any other type of occupation, whether it's waiting tables at the Hula Hut or working at this station in San Antonio," says Hansson's attorney David Brenner, who notes that only five or six top-30 market stations fit the criteria of Hansson's contract. (According to data from online employment service Tvjobs.com, San Antonio is ranked 37th in the nation; Austin is No. 61). "If George Bush decided to appoint her to be a judge in Travis County, she couldn't accept because it would violate the terms of this contract ... This is more restrictive than I've seen before with most other companies." Unlike a "noncompete" clause, which restricts news personnel from working at competing stations in the same market, Hansson's contract restricts her from working anywhere else at all.
Some attorneys would argue that Hansson should have looked a little longer before leaping into bed with a smart, contract-savvy company like Time Warner. David Sokolow, a contract expert and professor at the UT School of Law, notes that there aren't many legal barriers to keep people from signing bad contracts. "If you sign a contract saying that you're going to stand on your head in my office for eight hours a day, maybe that's a stupid thing to do, but you're contracted to do that," Sokolow says. Not having a lawyer or legal expertise, Sokolow says, is no excuse for making a bad decision. "She takes their money in return for signing the contract, and she accepts the terms of that contract. If you don't like the terms that are offered, you don't have to accept." Brenner, however, points out that Texas law requires the provisions of contracts to be reasonable, and he argues that the contract should be declared invalid because it would lock Hansson into three years of virtual servitude.
But while the validity of Hansson's contract may be open to discussion, the amount Time Warner is seeking -- which Hansson says grew from $8,000 to $15,000 to the $50,000 cited in the suit -- seems like a rather princely sum to ask from a reporter who, even at her new job in San Antonio, isn't exactly eating caviar for breakfast. According to the lawsuit, Time Warner's attorneys came up with the $50,000 figure by adding up the cost of advertising for a new person to fill Hansson's position, the cost of bringing people in to interview for her job, overtime paid to other employees until News 8 finds a replacement, and the cost of training a new employee. Moreover, the lawsuit says, "News 8 cannot train another employee like it trained Defendant." (According to several current and former News 8 employees, Hansson's "training" consisted primarily of participating in a group lecture by a media expert from the St. Petersburg, Florida-based Poynter Institute, who was flown in to speak to News 8 hires when the cable channel hit the airwaves last September.)
Are Damages Warranted?
Could Hansson's training and the cost of hiring her replacement really add up to $50,000? According to Sokolow, Time Warner will have to go further than it has to justify the amount they're seeking from Hansson. "I can't believe they're bringing a lawsuit against her. That amazes me. But under the law they can do so if they wish to," Sokolow says. "But $50,000 -- I don't know how they arrived at that figure. If they arbitrarily picked that figure out of a hat ... that's clearly unreasonable." If Hansson were a major personality like Oprah Winfrey or Sam Donaldson, the damages might be reasonable, her attorney adds. But as a cable news reporter on an obscure business beat in Bastrop County, Hansson's chances for fame or personal recognition -- even on a local basis -- were slim at best. (If Time Warner has its way, though, that may change: Lately -- perhaps to establish its employees as bona fide "personalities" rather than as camera-toting flunkies -- News 8 has reportedly begun running regular promotions on other cable channels featuring its onscreen reporters in prominent roles.)
Officially, News 8 isn't commenting on the lawsuit. (Time Warner's lead attorney, Brian Greig, referred all questions to News 8 management.) But in general, News 8 general manager Brian Benschoter says, the station uses lengthy contracts to increase the "stability" of its reporting staff. "You have to live in a community and know all the players and really know the context to do this job," Benschoter says. "The product gets better as the staff gets more experienced. Any time you lose folks you lose a little bit of that collective memory."
Employee Relations
The collective memory of News 8's staff is, to put it charitably, fading fast. It's not just that the station tends to hire reporters who are a little "green" to start with -- the same could be said of virtually any news program in Austin -- but that, by all accounts, even people without a life preserver in hand are jumping the station's ship. Although Benschoter insists turnover has been "pretty limited," one current News 8 employee (who requested anonymity) paints a grim picture: "I'd say that the vast majority of people, maybe 95%, want to leave," the employee says. "Everyone is making plans to get out of here." The reasons, the employee says, are simple: too much work for too little money and recognition. "We sit in a chair for 12 hours, five days a week, and we don't get a break," the employee says. "We're very understaffed ... Everybody does three jobs. The reporters do their own camera work and the directors roll their own tape ... We're just worn out, mentally and physically worn out."
Hansson -- who says her new job offered a 180-degree change from the working conditions she faced at News 8 -- recalls one particularly grueling summer day when she had to walk up the steps at Mount Bonnell -- all 100 of them -- "carrying 65 pounds of equipment in high heels and a skirt." Before long, Hansson says, the quality of her work had started to suffer. "If you're interviewing someone who's grieving and your audio won't work, you don't want to have to say, 'hold on while you're crying about your dead brother while I fiddle with my audio,'" she says. "It's hard to focus."
At other Time Warner cable stations, one-man bands have been replaced by more traditional teams of cameramen and onscreen reporters. But at News 8, it seems, only the contracts have changed. In some cases, the aforementioned employee attests, they've gotten longer; in others, News 8 management has tried to convince employees who weren't previously bound by contract to sign lengthy agreements in hopes of getting them to commit to specific employment terms (including fewer "outs," or terms under which an employee can leave without penalty) and rigid, non-negotiable pay increases. Once problems started emerging, the employee says, station management simply tightened its grip. "Once people ... started to leave, they made the contracts longer and the outs harder for people to get," the News 8 employee says. "But if you want to get out of a job, they should let you out. What are they going to do, handcuff you to an edit bay?"
Shani Walls, a former News 8 afternoon and weekend anchor who left the station for a head anchor job in 118th-ranked Fayetteville, Arkansas, takes a more sanguine view of her time at News 8, calling it "a very unique experience" that she wouldn't trade for anything. "It made me a stronger anchor," Walls says. Although she acknowledges that the schedule she worked -- from 9am-4pm on weekdays, and 4am-2pm on Saturdays and Sundays -- was "pretty erratic," she notes that odd hours aren't unusual at cable news stations, especially those that are on the air 24 hours a day. "It was very difficult for me to work those kind of hours; I'm not 25 any more," Walls says. "But I knew that when I took the job; it's just the nature of the business." And for all its problems, News 8 is still the only channel around that offers hard news without resorting to sensationalism -- the product, according to Walls, of former news editor Carla Fields' dedication to "local news done right." Fields left the station after four months to take a position as national news director at a Palm Beach, Fla.-based Internet company that produces a syndicated series on personal finance.
Around the time that Hansson announced her resignation to News 8's general manager, another News 8 employee named Lance Cook was going through a series of personal problems that would force him to quit his job as News 8's network administrator, a position he had held for only five weeks. First, his mother, who lived with Cook and his wife Marcy, fell ill, leaving the Cooks without day care for their eight-month-old son. All the local day cares Marcy Cook called had waiting lists of six months to a year, so she had little choice, she says, but to quit her job as a device engineer technician at Samsung and take care of her son. Then, a day after she was released from the hospital, Cook's mother decided to move out of the Cooks' house to a smaller place of her own, taking some $700 in income she had contributed to the household each month with her. And to make matters worse, the Cooks' latest property appraisal had sent the value of their Northeast Austin house skyward, increasing their house payments by some $200 a month.
Hard Times Made Harder
With their total income cut by almost $55,000, the Cooks felt Lance's only option was to quit his job at News 8, which he had taken as a stepping stone to a new career in network technology, and take another, more lucrative job as an equipment technician at Applied Materials, doing essentially the same work he had done before he was hired by Time Warner. Unfortunately, like Hansson, Cook was also under contract -- for three years, a period Cook's lawyer says is "real unusual" for an administrative employee at Cook's level.
To Time Warner, the reasons for Cook's resignation didn't matter: By their reckoning, a breach of contract was a breach of contract, extenuating circumstances be damned. "I told [GM Brian Benschoter] I'm going to have to quit because I don't make enough money to pay my bills," Cook says. "And he said, 'Well, you're under contract ... We're going to take this up with our lawyers.'" It was not an empty threat. Two weeks after Cook put in his resignation, on June 8, Time Warner sent the engineer a letter demanding $10,000 in restitution; in exchange, the letter said, the company would let Cook out of his contract with News 8. "Failing this," it continued, "the Company feels it has no choice but to go to court to compel you to follow the terms of your Employment Agreement."
Benschoter "took it up with his lawyer and his lawyer sent out this letter saying ... you can't quit. And not only can't you quit, you can't work for anybody else either," Cook says. "I can't even work at Baskin-Robbins part-time." After three weeks went by without payment, a local attorney for Time Warner, John Jacks, from the law firm of Gray & Becker, made the threat of a lawsuit official, demanding $2,500 -- in addition to the $10,000 already requested by Time Warner -- for "necessary and reasonable attorney fees" associated with the firm's representation of Time Warner, as well as any other fees incurred "for prosecuting such a suit."
"If we had that kind of money he would have never had to quit," says Marcy Cook. "If I had that in my savings account, I could have wrote them a check, but I mean, come on -- nobody does."
Certainly not the Cooks. Lance Cook made $38,000 a year as a network administrator for Time Warner, a sum he says worked out to about $12 an hour for the amount of time he put in at the station. How that works out to $10,000 in damages, he says, is anybody's guess. "I couldn't see [Time Warner's damages] possibly being more than I got paid in the time that I was there. How can they charge me more than they paid me?" The $10,000 figure certainly wasn't the cost of Cook's training, which he says was "minimal," no more than 10 hours total in the seven weeks he was there. And it wasn't in line with Cook's experience as a network administrator, which he says Time Warner could get for "a dime a dozen."
Cook's attorney, Shelly Fristoe, says he'll ask Time Warner to justify their claim to $10,000 in damages and $2,500 in attorney's fees. "I know Gray and Davis, and they're a good law firm, but he's going to have to have an amazing billing rate to charge $2,500 just for reviewing the contract. I don't know how this amounts to $2,500 worth of 'reasonable' attorney's fees." Moreover, says Fristoe, once they knew Cook was quitting, Time Warner made no attempt to reduce their damages by hiring a replacement for Cook to train. "Under the law you're required to mitigate your damages," says Fristoe. "You can't just let them build up and then later sue for that." He adds that, while he's focusing his energy for now on fighting the $10,000 charge, it's also possible that a court will declare the entire contract void.
Quite apart from the money is the question of whether Cook's contract was reasonable -- or even enforceable -- in the first place. According to Fristoe, the document was a cookie-cutter replica of contracts signed by onscreen TV personalities; it included clauses about intellectual property, accepting "payola," and Time Warner's exclusive right to Cook's televised image. But as a network administrator, Cook rarely went near a TV camera, and never appeared onscreen. "They've just plugged in this guy's job description into a contract that is clearly meant for an on-air TV personality," Fristoe says. "He was a network administrator. When is his face going to be on TV?" But the contract's benefit to Time Warner was clear: It locked Cook into a three-year term under extremely stringent conditions, but didn't afford him the bargaining power a more seasoned TV news employee would have sought. "Apparently they've used this contract to bind all these employees to long-term contracts at low wages," Fristoe says. "This contract is an employer's contract. The employee has very little bargaining power. He has the right to seek counsel to find out about what's in this contract, but you're not going to find people at his level of employment who're going to do that."
At its heart, Cook's case comes down to what lawyers call "impossibility of performance": Due to extenuating, unforeseeable circumstances, Cook could no longer perform the job he was hired to do. That, at least, is the defense Cook and his attorney plan to raise in court, if the case does go to trial. But in a larger sense, both Cook's and Hansson's cases come down to basic issues of fairness and reasonability: Is it reasonable to single out two employees who were in other ways exemplary, just because they wanted to get out of their contracts? Wouldn't it be better -- both for Time Warner's image and for its workers' sanity -- for Time Warner to offer its employees a reasonable opportunity to buy their way out of their contracts, or to include more "outs" in its contracts in the first place?
Shelly Fristoe thinks so; he's been practicing employment law for more than 10 years, and he says he's never seen a case like this one. "This is the most offensive thing I've ever seen," he says. "It just reeks of megacompany bullshit." And he sounds willing to fight Time Warner to the bitter end to prove his point. "If it ain't illegal, it just ain't fair, it just ain't right. That's the bottom line. If they want to spend all this money and take these poor folks to court and have 12 jurors here in Travis County tell them they can do that, then, you know, times have really changed here in Austin."

Since March 2019, Lunchbox has been in the clear after a situation at his bank. He found out that his bank accidentally deposited over $700 to his account that he or his wife did not do. He waited for a few weeks to see if anything would come of it, but there was no one calling or reaching out.
Lunchbox decided he was just going to keep the money and buy a trip to Las Vegas for him and his wife. It's been over 5 months now and the trip has come and gone with no response from the bank... until now. They sent a letter to his house writing that there had been an accidentally deposit and they would be removing the $700 from his account in the coming days. Obviously Lunchbox was bummed that it caught up with him, but he said he'd make sure the money was in his account from them to withdrawal.

Concrete Sealing
Specialised concrete sealing by CMS
Concrete may seem like a tough and easy care product and the reality is that it definitely can be. However, for this to be the case concrete requires that you take all the appropriate measures at the time of installation. To make the ongoing maintenance of your concrete areas easy, and to increase the longevity of your newly laid surface there is one simple but important measure you need to take. You need to apply a sealant to your concrete surface.
Why? Because concrete is actually a porous substance it absorbs water and stains really easily. By sealing your concrete, you will protect it from corrosion and staining. You can choose from a clear or coloured sealer both with their own positives.
Clear Concrete Sealers
Once a decorative concrete floor is finished the best way to keeping it looking great is to seal and protect its surface. Our supplier manufactures some of the hardest wearing decorative concrete systems in the world. It is essential that your decorative concrete surface is resealed periodically in order to lock in the colour, protect the surface from impurities and maintain its glossy appeal. Your new or resurfaced decorative concrete is treated with an acrylic sealer to help produce an attractive surface that is easier to clean and maintain than unsealed concrete. We recommend resealing every 18-24 months as the sealer works by blocking the pores of the concrete, providing a protective layer that helps stop dirt becoming ingrained and helps achieve a more consistent look.
Coloured Concrete Sealers
Dramatically improve the appearance of your concrete by adding a Coloured Concrete Sealer. The Coloured Concrete Sealer system is ideal for colouring and protecting plain concrete. It is a two part system; Part A the colour sealer clear base and Part B the colour tint. The Colour Tint (Part B) is added to the Colour Sealer Clear Base (Part A), and then applied using a roller or soft bristled broom.
Using a Coloured Concrete Sealer will improve upon existing hard wearing decorative concrete. Adding two coats of sealer improves abrasion resistance while creating a barrier between the concrete colour and the effects of the harsh Australian climate.
Contact CMS today to arrange for one of our friendly team members to come to you in the Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas to provide you with a comprehensive quote to keep your concrete and decorative surfaces looking like new for years to come.

It's almost unthinkable to be in Cannes for a few days and not have access to your e-mails. Midem obviously has Internet connections for visitors, although you usually have to stand in a queue. If you want a more accessible connection, you should think about taking a WiFi subscription. SFR is the supplier within the Palais, but I've had no luck finding out how much it costs. The site simply says that you turn your computer on, find the network and follow the payment process (without actually giving a price). The SFR site provides no details. The hotels obviously also have connections you can use. But if you're staying outside town, that doesn't help much during the day.
Amongst the prepaid solutions, the easiest one I could find information about is Orange. They offer 1, 3, 10 and 30 hour packages you can buy in Relay newsagents or online from the Orange site (in French but quite clear). I'll probably opt for the 3-hour option for €10 (with 50% extra for €1 if you purchase before January 15), which should be enough to grab e-mails, work offline and then send them out afterwards. If you have experience using other prepaid WiFi solutions in France, why not drop a line about it in the comments?

State Archery Report
by Zachary Douthit
Shooting a bow is not very difficult. All that you have to do is put an arrow on a bow, pull the string back and let the string go. However, actually hitting the target is a little bit harder and hitting the bull's eye is difficult. That difficulty is compounded when the target is 40 centimeters long and at ranges up to thirty yards. To do this, an Archer has to block out all distractions and focus on hitting the target. Seconds become minutes, an eternity passes before the arrow hits the target. Like in all sports, practicing is the key to getting better. The 4-H Archery Club of Orange practiced all year to prepare for the 4-H State Archery Tournament.
It was a warm day with a slight breeze. Archers from all over the state attended the event to test their skills. Three archers from the Orange 4-H Archery Club participated in the State Tournament that day. Lucien Payette, sporting a no let-off, bare bow received a score of 44 points in his division. Next on the line was Nathan Cole, shooting in the compound bow division, netted a whopping 121 points.
Zachary Douthit was last on the line that day. He was going to age out of 4-H and wanted to end it on a high note. Zachary scored a total of 112 points, winning him first place in his division.
It was a great day for the Archers!

When we went to Seoul, we really wanted to taste Jajangmyeon.
Jajangmyeon or Jjajangmyeon (짜장면) is a dish made up of noodles cooked in black bean paste. It's unique to Korea and no other "black noodles" can substitute it. Although we do have noodles cooked in dark soya sauce here in Malaysia called "Hokkien mee" and you also have "konloh mee", it is simply not the same!
often featured in Korean dramas.
In Coffee Prince, Yoon Eun-hye and the late Lee Eon
had a Jajangmyeon eating competition in the first episode.
However, Jajangmyeon is not served at Korean restaurants (it is also difficult to find it on the menu at Korean restaurants here). We remember our Korean language teacher telling us that Jajangmyeon is a popular dish at Korean – Chinese restaurants! So yeah, go to a Chinese restaurant when in Seoul for a taste of this dish.
We found this Chinese restaurant at Co-ex mall and the noodle is actually quite delicious. They provide a pair of scissors so you can cut the long strands for easier consumption. The black bean paste is called "chungjang".
It is also customary for singles to partake in Jajangmyeon on Black Day (April 14th).

Hailing from Muzaffarpur (Bihar), Prof. Sinha had a PG Degree in English and Ph.D. in Linguistics from Poona University (1967) studying the grammar of Lepcha language of Sikkim in relation to Bengali, Santhali, Hindi and Vajjika. He retired as Professor of English from RDS College, Muzaffarpur under Bihar University.
Right from his school days in the 1950's he was involved with the democratic movements of students and suffered fracture and other injuries when police lathi charged agitating students in Patna. He played a leading role in agitation for a judicial enquiry into the police firing on the students of Patna university and later on represented the students in the judicial enquiry headed by the Chief Justice of Patna High court .
Actively involved with the Teacher's Movement, he was the Convener of Teachers' Action Committee against the then Congress government which protested police firing in RDS College, Muzaffarpur on 10.12.1966 leading to death of one lecturer and one student and injuries to many others. In a novel manner, he raised funds from the people to represent the case before the judicial Commission which eventually declared the police firing as unjustified. Subsequently he became the Convener of `Teachers' Action Committee for the defeat of the Congress Party' during the 1967 state elections. The campaign with the slogan `CONGRESS HARAO' (defeat the congress) led to the electoral defeat of the Congress party and the formation of the `United Front' government for the first time in Bihar.
Actively participating in the JP Led 1974 Bihar Movement against the corrupt Bihar Government he was detained under MISA in July 1974 .Detention order was quashed after a few months but he was placed under suspension by the university. When the Emergency was clamped in June 1975 Prof. Sinha joined the movement against the Emergency. Subsequently, he went underground when a warrant for arrest was issued which led to the promulgation of an order for attachment of property was issued. He was subsequently arrested under the Defence of India Act. After a few months in jail, in an unprecedented judgement he was granted bail by a very bold and unconventional judge. The judgment was broadcast by BBC. Following his release from the jail he was once again placed under suspension which was withdrawn only after the emergency was lifted. During this period he remained active in anti-emergency activities succeesfully evading further arrest. During the emergency, Prof. Sinha regularly kept meeting J.P, who lived in Patna after release from jail.
During the Lok Sabha elections in 1977 Prof. Sinha worked as election in charge of Muzaffarpur Assembly segment for George Fernandes, who was in jail in Delhi. George Fernandes won the election.
Though part of the anti Emergency movement, refrained from joining the Janta Party , as joining a party without compromising principles was not possible. Refrained from taking up any position under the government for the same reason.
Prof. Sinha was elected Vice President, Bihar PUCL in March, 1981, became Acting President in October, 1983 on account of the illness of the then President, PUCL Bihar. He was elected as President in 1986, re-elected in 1988 and was President of Bihar PUCL early 1986 to late 1991.
At the national level, Prof. Sinha was elected as a National Organising Secretary in 1988 at Jaipur and as Vice President at Poona in 1990. He assumed charge as President of National PUCL in Ranchi (2009) and was re-elected as President for 2012-14 and 2014-16 terms.

Debbie here from Craftin' Chaos. This week we were to use the colors Aqua, White & Red so I wanted to use the Firecracker Twine for my project. I used a cute kraft pillow box from Bella Creationz. A list of supplies will be below. It made a fun quick project since I utilized dies for all the cuts including the tags! The Firecracker twine just goes so well with these colors.
The paper is AC Cardstock from various color collections I have. Its my favorite paper so I buy it in the 60/pk assortments. I don't own them all yet but I do have several of each of my favorites. I tend to use the Tropicals, Brights, Earth Tones and Primaries the most so I stocked up on them when they are half price at Joann.com. Bella Creationz has loads of stuff to make super cute treats or gifts to give. Have you seen the mini coffee cups with lids? SUPER duper cute and candy and loads of other things can be put in them to create a unique, cute gift. I have done several projects with these little cups making holders.

It was embarrassing for my relatives and all, but the next week, he did it again. Different cat, same results, complete with another trip to the emergency room. So, I run into him a week later in the mall and he's buying another cat. And I says to him: 'Jesus, Walt! What are you doing? You know you're just gonna get this cat stuck in your ass too. Why don't you knock it off?' And he said to me: 'Brodie, how the hell else am I supposed to get the gerbil out?' My cousin was a weird guy.

NEW YORK (WFAN) — In a face-to-face meeting, Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard met with newly-installed General Manager Rob Hennigan on Friday night and demanded a trade to the Brooklyn Nets.
Chris Broussard of ESPN broke the story late Saturday night. Hennigan met with Howard in Los Angeles to hear the superstar's thoughts and Howard hasn't backed down from his 'trade-me stance.'
Hennigan hasn't told Howard that he will proceed with plans to trade Howard or if he intends on holding the star center to his contract. Previously, ex-Magic GM Otis Smith promised Howard that he would look into trade options, but Smith was fired by the organization on briefly after the 2011-12 season.
Howard has grown increasingly frustrated with his situation in Orlando. He's made no secret of his long-standing desire to join the Nets.
Meanwhile, Deron Williams is edging closer to choosing between the Nets and the Dallas Mavericks. Williams and former Net Jason Kidd are looking to join either the Nets or Mavericks in a package deal.
Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted late Saturday that the Nets are also looking at Joe Johnson, O.J. Mayo and Luis Scola.
Going into free agency, the Nets only have $17.7 million committed to seven players.
How will the Dwight Howard saga end? Share your thoughts below…

The latest version of Windows Mobile contain an architectural security flaw that is likely to be a turn-off for enterprises, a wireless analysis firm has said.
In a report published last week, analyst Jack Gold of J. Gold Associates said the way Microsoft Exchange and Windows Mobile 5 handle data transfer leaves sensitive corporate data inadequately protected. The software can only transfer unencrypted data to devices, and Windows Mobile doesn't provide any encryption options on the device, Gold said in the report, called "Microsoft's Direct Push Insecurity".
That leaves only a password mechanism between unauthorized users and corporate data, which is unlikely to satisfy many companies' requirements, he said. In particular, companies such as financial services firms and health-care organizations, which operate under tight regulatory restrictions, are likely to need on-device encryption.
Competitors such as Good Technology, Sybase and Research In Motion allow users to encrypt files on their devices.
The problem lies with AirSync, a derivative of ActiveSync used to transfer data to devices, Gold said. ActiveSync and AirSync can only transfer datasets with specific types of formatting, meaning encrypted data can't be transferred from Exchange Server to Pocket Outlook.
The data is encrypted while in transit, via an SSL link, but not on the device. "We believe that companies considering the use of Microsoft Direct Push Exchange technology should be very cautious," Gold said in the report.
Just two weeks ago, Kaspersky Labs reported that a flaw in Windows CE meant that mobile operating system was at a particularly high risk of attack.

Loving The Alien Lyrics
Artist: Icehouse
Album: The Berlin Tapes
Watching them come and go
The templars and the saracens
They're traveling the holy land
Opening telegrams
Torture comes and torture goes
Knights who'd give you anything
They bear the cross of coeuf de leon
Salvation for the mirror blind
But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear
Prayers they hide the saddest view
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
And your prayers they break the sky in two
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
You pray til the break of dawn
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
And you'll believe you're loving the alien
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
Thinking of a different time
Palestine a modern problem
Bounty and your wealth in land
Terror in a best laid plan
Watching them come and go
Tomorrows and the yesterdays
Christians and the unbelievers
Hanging by the cross and nail

Alexis Sánchez Confirms He Has Made His Decision Over His Future
Posted by Featured Articles | Published on 30/06/2017
Arsenal forward Alexis Sánchez has confirmed that he has made his decision regarding his future, but remains tight-lipped on what his decision is. The Chilean currently has one year remaining on his current deal at the North London club but is unsure about whether or not to agree on a new deal with the club.
Bayern Munich and Manchester City have been leading candidates to sign the player, but neither club are yet to officially submit a bid. Sánchez is currently on international duty with Chile at the Confederations Cup, where his manager Juan Antonio Pizzi has stated he is a player "every club would want to sign".
During a press conference ahead of the sides clash with Germany in the Confederations Cup final, the Chilean was asked if he would join teammate Claudio Bravo at Manchester City next season. In response, the 28-year-old told Sky Sports News HQ: "Good question. Right now I'm focused on the Confederations Cup. When this is finished I will see if I stay or if I go. I don't know."
When asked if it was clear in his mind about where he would be playing his football next season, the forward responded, whilst laughing: "Yes it's clear but I can't tell you."

Is there a keyboard shortcut for Google Chrome that lets you reload a frame (iframe) that has focus? The only way I've found to do it is via right click.
Pressing F-5 while the frame has focus (e.g. while actively in a form element) reloads the entire parent page or does nothing, depending on where the focus lies within the frame. I'm hoping to avoid that, as I'm debugging a rather massive form that is loaded in an iframe.
- Version: Chrome 16.0.912.75 (I love those version numbers) Anyway, stable.
- OS: Windows 7 and XP.

How Tech Helps You Make Sweet Music [CONTEST WINNERS]
Advances in digital media have dramatically changed not only in the way we consume music, but also the way we create it. First came Napster, which opened up file-sharing to the masses. Now, through services like iTunes and Spotify, we have more music at our fingertips than ever before.
A lot of the music on those services is made by people like you, often created without ever having to leave the house. From recording to distribution, it is now easier than ever before to create high-quality music and get it heard by others.
In this spirit, we asked you to show us how tech is changing the way you make music. The responses we received showed a variety of set-ups, featuring keyboards, laptops, pedals and other gear. We saw an impressive range of displays, from compact desktops to fully developed home studios.
We chose 10 winners and asked them to tell us about their arrangements. These 10 musicians will be receiving Skullcandy Aviator headphones that feature the Mashable logo, as well as a matching iPhone case. Check out the winning entries below.

When was the last time you thought about your mobile phone plan? I know—it's not that exciting (who actually loves their phone bill?), but there are a few areas where mobile phone pricing plans and BDR are starting to look increasingly similar. Unless you want your clients to think of your BDR services with the same disdain that's common in the phone market, it may be a good time to think about your partnership contracts and the pricing and packaging options you are passing down to your clients, because a mobile data plan and BDR storage plans are starting to feel more similar in the marketplace than ever before.
The Myth of Unlimited Storage
We all understand the lure of unlimited plans. The world is moving faster than ever, and MSPs are extremely busy day in and day out. So, the opportunity to purchase and subsequently offer unlimited storage to every client now and into the future seems like an easy option to choose. You'd never have to worry about storage again for a flat fee, and your clients won't have to either. It sounds great, right?
If you've ever signed up for an "unlimited" data plan for mobile phones, then you know that there is, in reality, no such thing as unlimited. Whether there are data caps that are buried in the fine print or data-transmission-speed throttling at specific thresholds, no one is giving away a free lunch when it comes to unlimited data. The truth is that mobile phone plans are offering limited plans that cover the majority of data usage under the guise of a blue-sky offer. This may work for some phone consumers who don't read, but transferring this concept over to the managed services industry presents significant challenges.
The Value of Flexibility
Let's be clear: there is a finite amount of storage worldwide. Cloud storage is made up of vast networks of massive, interconnected server farms measured by the zettabyte (and growing), but it is finite. And when finite ends, restrictions begin.
Today, some BDR vendors have begun to offer "unlimited" cloud storage plans for MSPs to provide BDR to their clients—and if you expect there's a catch, you're right. These plans are proposing storage within the boundaries of what the vendor believes is "reasonable usage." At best, it's not a truly unlimited plan, and at worst it can govern the acceptable upper limits for backups. These are restrictions MSPs should not have to fear when onboarding new clients or planning to grow over time.
Ultimately, "unlimited" BDR storage plans are not as open and flexible as they seem. They do not lower the TCO of their BDR platform, and the flat fee that once seemed simple can wind up walling MSPs in, because they end up paying for massive amounts of storage that are not needed.
Why pay for what your clients don't need? And why risk running into issues while scaling up when storage is in high demand?
The Path to Growth: Managing BDR Storage
Backup and disaster recovery is complex—it's why your clients hire you, and why they trust you as their advisor and custodian of their most valuable data. Understanding your clients' specific data needs, how they may vary over time, and how to best provide them what they need at the best price is not only a competitive advantage, it's also the best way to achieve a healthy profit margin on your service delivery. With Continuum BDR, for example, you're able to scale your storage up and down, month to month, to meet your clients' storage demands. You never have to pay for what you don't need. And what's more, with options such as pooled storage, you're able to purchase the right fit for the entirety of your client base and scale that as needed to bring on more clients.
The investment into understanding the data needs of your client base and choosing a flexible storage plan on Continuum BDR allows MSPs to keep their total cost of ownership lower, scale their businesses profitably, and adapt to shifting market demands. Flexibility is a valuable resource in the BDR market, and a critical asset MSPs cannot afford to lose as competition increases. Understanding the pitfalls of "unlimited" plans and making the switch to Continuum BDR could prove to be a major advantage as the BDR landscape continues to become more commoditized into the future.
"Backup to the Future" is a blog series that explores the state of the backup and disaster recovery as a service today—and the challenges that come with offering it—and looks forward to the ongoing new paradigms that are dramatically transforming the sector into tomorrow. In our previous posts, we've talked about how to manage the total cost of ownership of BDR, bridging the IT skills gap as backup environments become more complex, how to differentiate your BDR solution, and how the cloud will impact BDR services. Check back next Wednesday for another post to learn how to achieve long-term success with your BDR solution!

Abbas Invited, Cabbie Rescued
Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas now has something Yasser Arafat never got: An invitation to meet with President Bush in Washington.
Abbas' office said the visit will take place July 25. U.S. officials have confirmed that Abbas will be in Washington in late July.
Meanwhile, Israel's military confirmed Wednesday that major Palestinian militant groups were not behind the kidnapping of a taxi driver who was freed in a midnight commando raid.
The abduction last week of Israeli Eliyahu Goral, who was rescued late Tuesday, raised tensions as Israelis and Palestinians have worked to maintain a fragile cease-fire declared June 29.
Abbas said in the statement that the main subject of the talks would be promoting the U.S.-backed "road map" peace plan, which calls for an end to 33 months of Palestinian-Israeli violence and leads through three stages to creation of a Palestinian state in 2005.
He said the key issues would be stopping Israeli settlement building in the West Bank and freeing Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, according to the statement.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is to meet Mr. Bush on July 29.
Up to now, Abbas has refused to travel abroad until Israel lifts travel restrictions on Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, confined to his West Bank headquarters in Ramallah for a year and a half.
The Israeli army said Goral's kidnappers had no ties to the larger Palestinian militant groups, but may have sought to turn Goral over to them.
The military insisted the kidnappers were not common criminals.
"We know for sure that the motives for the kidnapping were (terrorist) motives," an Israeli army colonel told reporters on condition he only be identified by his first name, Uzi.
Sharon, on a brief visit to Norway, applauded "a very successful operation."
"There is no possibility of compromise with terror," he said.
Goral's rescue eased fears the cease-fire could collapse, after a Palestinian group claimed responsibility for the fatal stabbing of an Israeli in Tel Aviv and Israel's foreign minister warned that Palestinian officials were running out of time to disarm militants.
Palestinian Information Minister Nabil Amr minister, meanwhile, said the Palestinian Authority would disarm anyone brandishing or using weapons and was seeking to persuade the militant groups to extend indefinitely the temporary halt to attacks against Israelis.
Abdel Aziz Rantisi, a top leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, dismissed the idea.
"These are illusions," Rantisi said. "If (Amr) said this I want to tell him that there is no one who can give any inch from the land of Palestine" by permanently accepting the existence of Israel.
Goral, 61, arrived unharmed at his Tel Aviv area home early Wednesday morning to find a street party, with neighbors toasting his safe return with champagne and vodka.
He had been missing since Friday night, when his taxi was found with its motor running in an Arab neighborhood of Jerusalem. Goral said he was kidnapped after he picked up two men, a young woman and a child in Lod, a mixed Jewish-Arab town just east of Tel Aviv.
"They had a little girl with them, otherwise I wouldn't have stopped," Goral said. He said the passengers asked him to take them to Jerusalem and when they arrived, he was ordered at knifepoint to drive to an Arab suburb.
From there, he was taken to the nearby West Bank town of Ramallah and held in 30-foot pit until his release, the army said.
Palestinian sources said the kidnappers had been in touch with militants from the Al Aqsa Brigades — a group linked to Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement — and sought help in demanding that Israel, in exchange for Goral, release about 200 Palestinian prisoners.
The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Al Aqsa refused to cooperate with the kidnappers, and that Palestinian Authority intelligence chief Tawfiq Tirawi had been in close contact with militants in the West Bank to urge them not to take any measure that could bring down the cease-fire with Israel.
Palestinian officials said that their security forces helped Israeli troops search for Goral. But Maj. Gen. Moshe Kaplinsky, head of the army's central command, said the Palestinians had not contributed to the release.
The kidnapping did not appear to be a professional operation. The abductors, armed only with a knife, issued no public demands or claims of responsibility.
The military said the break in the case came on Saturday night, when the female kidnapper, Shirin Halil, was arrested and provided information that led security forces to two other gang members and later to Goral.
When elite commandos stormed the hideout late Tuesday, Goral was guarded by a lone, unarmed kidnapper who tried to escape but was captured. Authorities also arrested an unarmed guard standing outside the building, but the extent of his connection to the abduction was unclear, the army said. No shots were fired and no one was wounded, the military said.
The kidnapping and rescue came as Israel voices increasing impatience with Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas' reluctance to disarm militant groups. Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom warned Tuesday that if the Palestinian Authority didn't move on the issue soon, "the whole thing's going to blow up in our face."
Shalom said that Israel and the Palestinians had an informal understanding that the Palestinians would have about three weeks after the cease-fire started to begin dismantling the militant groups, as required by a U.S.-backed plan that calls for an end to 33 months of violence and leads through three stages to creation of a Palestinian state in 2005.
The unilateral truce declared by Palestinian militant groups on June 29 has led to a significant drop in violence, allowing implementation of some of the initial steps in the road map — but there have been sporadic incidents, killing three people.

Steinway & Sons
Steinway & Sons was founded in 1853 by German immigrant Henry Engelhard Steinway in a Manhattan loft on Varick Street. Over the next thirty years, Henry and his sons, C. F. Theodore, Charles, Henry Jr., William, and Albert, developed the modern piano. They built their pianos one at a time, applying skills that were handed down from master to apprentice, generation after generation.
Steinway is dedicated to the ideal of making the finest pianos in the world. The result is instruments renowned for their unsurpassed quality. Pianos with such superior sound and responsive touch that they enchant the most demanding pianists.
In 2007, the National Medal of Arts was awarded to Henry Z. Steinway by US President George W. Bush for his devotion to preserving and promoting quality craftsmanship and performance; as an arts patron and advocate for music and music education; and for continuing the fine tradition of the Steinway piano as an international symbol of American ingenuity and cultural excellence.

Embattled Riley's mantra at Nebraska: 'Just coach the team'
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — With a new athletic director on the way and Nebraska having an open date this week, the future of embattled coach Mike Riley has been the hottest topic in the state and among Cornhusker fans everywhere.
Riley joked after practice Wednesday night that he wanted to borrow the sign that hangs over the desk of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, the one that says "Just coach the team."
"That's all I'm going to worry about," Riley said, "and then we'll let the rest take care of itself."
Bill Moos, who's coming to Nebraska from Washington State, begins his new job next week. If he's undecided on whether to retain Riley, the last five games of the regular season could be considered an audition for Riley and his staff. Moos said at his introductory news conference Sunday that "as we speak right now, he's my football coach, and I'm going to support him." Later, he said he doesn't believe in firing a coach in the middle of a season.
As it is, the Huskers (3-4, 2-2 Big Ten) are coming off a 56-14 loss to No. 6 Ohio State , their most lopsided home loss since 1949. That followed a 21-point home loss to No. 5 Wisconsin.
Nebraska is practicing three times this week and many of the coaches will go out of town to recruit beginning Thursday. Preparations for the Oct. 28 game at Purdue already have begun.
Riley, 18-15 in three years at Nebraska but a loser in eight of the last 13, said his players need to concentrate on the goals that are within reach. Nebraska must win three of its last five to be bowl-eligible, and it can still finish second in the Big Ten West and is mathematically alive to win the division if Wisconsin stumbles.
"Motivation comes in all different packages for people," Riley said. "I have 128 guys and there might be 128 different buttons. Whatever it is that turns you on, let's push it, let's go. It might be you being the best player you can be; you being a senior and you want to have a great finish to your senior year."
Quarterback Tanner Lee has completed 60 percent of his passes and thrown one interception in the last three games after getting picked off nine times in the first four. He was one of the few bright spots against Ohio State, going 23 of 38 for 303 yards and two touchdowns.
Riley said Lee, who came to Nebraska from Tulane, has settled down and found a better rhythm after sitting out last season because of transfer rules. The offensive line has done a decent job protecting Lee, and he has made better decisions about when to throw away the ball.
"It was really, really hard — difficult in every circumstance — against Ohio State, because you're getting beat badly and throwing too much, and he's still making good plays," Riley said. "I was impressed with that. So I think we're just going to keep going with him."
But even with Lee's improvement, the Huskers have been inconsistent. They're 11th in the Big Ten in scoring (25.9-point average), not nearly good enough to offset the 31 points and 395 yards a game the defense is allowing.
"In this day and age of playing football, with the points that are put on the board," Riley said, "we have to be more productive."

You can say "I forgot my lunch", which implies that your lunch is where you prepared it. Nothing more needs to be said. (In fact, that's exactly the phrase I used recently when I forgot my lunch.)
Hi Guys! Well.. The first thing to know is that LEFT is the past simple tense and past participle tense of the verb LEAVE and FORGOT is the past simple tense of the verb FORGET.
So, you usually:
- Leave something in a place/ Leave something somewhere.
- Forget something.
That is the common use for this verbs, but they can be used as synonyms too, when (as in the sentence above) you're referring to something.
Hope this helps!..
It is a little confusing because I would imagine he forgot his homework at home because he didn't remember to bring it.
Imagine you're going to the vet... having a little bit of a bad day. :)
I forgot my dog at home!
It seems to go better than:
I left my dog at home!
Whereas if you were simply going to the park and didn't want to take him you would use:
I left my dog at home.

Forget to do something, not forget the thing
I voted for "forgot" because when you forget something, you, of course, didn't do it on purpose. If you "left" something, it implies that you intentionally did it.
e.g. "I forgot my camera because I was rushing to catch the train."
"I left my camera because it's a hassle to bring it."
In the given sentence, I don't think a student would deliberately leave his homework. Why would he do it in the first place? Which means, he forgot to bring it.
I voted for (( either )) because:
left mean:
to not take something or someone with you when you go, either intentionally or by accident
Hey, you've left your keys on the table.
forgot mean:
to not bring something with you because you did not remember it
I've forgotten my keys.
I voted third (either), is that true in using both of them ?

Kubo and the Two Strings, from the stop-motion specialists at Laika (The Boxtrolls, Coraline), opens with a demanding piece of advice. "If you must blink, do it now," a voice says just before the screen momentarily goes dark. If we fail to watch with the utmost attention, we're told, "then our hero will surely perish."
Of course, the flip side of such a request is that the filmmakers must then deliver something that deserves careful watchfulness. Kubo and the Two Strings does, for the most part, thanks to the textured, eye-popping animation that is the studio's hallmark. (When a character steps across a pebble walkway, we not only hear the stones, but feel them.) If the movie gets tripped up by a storyline that has maybe two or three strings too many, that's easy enough to forgive.
That opening sequence is a stunner, as a woman—swaddled child across her chest—navigates enormous ocean swells in a small boat. At one point a wall of water rises so high as to block out the moon, although director Travis Knight and his team add the shivery touch of having the moon's glow seep through the translucent wave. The woman and her son eventually wash up on shore, and the movie then catches up with them years later. This is Kubo (voiced by Art Parkinson) and his silent mother, who now live in seclusion in a cave.
These early scenes of Kubo caring for his near-comatose parent, burdened by her unspoken past, have a deep sadness. Thankfully they're lightened by Kubo's visits to a nearby village, where he performs adventure stories in the marketplace using elaborate origami. These are stories he once heard from his mother, and as the movie goes on we learn that they may be based more in reality than fantasy—and may indeed soon play out in Kubo's actual life.
The origami conceit is the movie's meta stroke of genius.
The origami conceit is the movie's meta stroke of genius. When Kubo plays a chord from his shamisen, it brings his elaborate paper constructions to life: a brave samurai, a deadly spider, a comical chicken. This happens a handful of times in the film, including a lovely, late sequence in which Kubo "animates" his mother's words as she finally unfolds her whole story. These dazzling moments are like miniature, stop-motion movies nestled inside a larger one (something like Ash's tiny train set in Fantastic Mr. Fox). They cause us to focus our attention on the details within the detail—to concentrate in the exact way that the film's opening demands.
Not all of Kubo and the Two Strings is as intimately scaled. Eventually the main narrative becomes a straightforward adventure plot, complete with a trio of sidekicks: Kubo's little origami samurai, who faithfully points his sword in the direction they should travel; a bristling, protective monkey (Charlize Theron) whose eyes are in a constant state of narrowing; and a man-sized beetle (Matthew McConaughey) with memory issues. There is a wonderfully fantastical sequence in which this group has a run-in with a giant skeleton (the tiny swords of vanquished foes are poking out of its skull), but eventually the action sequences become monotonous. And the shifting dynamic between the monkey and beetle—for unnecessarily complicated narrative reasons—never allows them to emerge as clearly defined characters.
Yet if Laika's storytelling and character development here may not reach the level of the best Pixar (or its own Coraline), the movie still marks a significant achievement in large-scale, hand-crafted animated artistry. At one point Kubo sends a flock of paper birds swirling around a bewildered, actual bird, and the stop-motion animation of the latter is so enchanting that we forget that it, too, is "fake." When the craftsmanship is this masterful, we can still be fooled—no matter how closely we're watching.
