City Flexcar Tax Hike Back On
posted by October 24 at 14:22 PMon
Flexcar, the car-sharing service, will have to charge the state rental-car tax after all. According to the Flexcar member newsletter, the company "made important progress in educating the Department of Revenue on why car-sharing is different from traditional car rental" but couldn't work out a non-legislative fix. So, starting in November, Seattle-area Flexcar users will have to pay a rental-car tax of 9.7 percent, bringing the total tax on Flexcar users to 18.7 percent.
Flexcar says they're looking for a legislative fix. As we've reported, state Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles (D-36) is working on legislation that would exempt Flexcar from the tax. But given that most of Flexcar's users live in the dense 43rd District (which includes Capitol Hill and parts of downtown, Eastlake, Wallingford, Fremont, and Ravenna), we'd like to see Sen. Ed Murray and the 43rd's two representatives, Jamie Pedersen and Frank Chopp, stand up for Flexcar users and join Kohl-Welles in working to repeal this unfair tax.

Budget 2013: 10% surcharge on super-rich with income above Rs 1 core

The much-debated additional tax for super-rich found favour with the government as Finance Minister P Chidambaram today proposed a 10 per cent surcharge for a year on income above Rs 1 crore.
The proposal will cover 42,800 individuals and entities.
"When I need to raise resources, who can I go to except those who are well placed in society. Only 42,800 persons in the whole country who admitted to a taxable income of exceeding Rs 1 crore per year.
"I propose to impose a surcharge of 10 per cent on persons whose taxable income exceeds Rs 1 crore per year," he said while unveiling Budget proposals for 2013-14.
The proposal to tax the super-rich was mooted by Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council Chairman C Rangarajan and found echo in Wipro Chairman Azim Premji.
"I believe there is a little bit of spirit of Azim Premji every affluent taxpayers and I am confident when I ask relatively affluent taxpayers to bear a small burden for one year they will do so cheerfully," he said, adding the tax proposal will be only for one year.
He further said, "fiscal consolidation cannot be effected only by cutting expenditure. Where ever possible, revenues must also be augmented."
The surcharge will apply to individuals, HUFs, firms and entities with similar tax status, he added.

This is so simple to make and yet so wonderful! Thanks, this is going to be my go to recipe for pumpkin pie now! Loved it! Thanks!
Great pumpkin pie. I made this to take to a family Thanksgiving dinner and the whole thing was gone in no time. It was so simple to make too. I did have to bake this longer than the recipe directs, but that is no big deal. Thanks so much for posting!
Oh, my. I made 2 different pumpkin pie recipes for Thanksgiving. This one was by far the easiest and the one I worried about the most, as it was so simple. We sampled both pies and the other was a 5 star recipe, but this one stood out a little bit on the pumpkin flavor. It was more "pumpkiny" :) Great texture, great taste and it could NOT be any simpler to make. I'll make this again, thanks for sharing.

We lived there for a year and had persistent and severe problems with bed bugs. Management REFUSED to deal with the issue until we could provide them a bug.
Unless management has changed, I would NOT recommend moving into this building.
Anonymous on 05/18/2009
There have been several complaints of bed bugs from tenants in the building, and I have found them in my apartment. Management did get my apartment treated, but they are only doing it on a case by case basis. From what I\'ve read, the whole building needs to be treated. Management did tell me that when they first bought the building, there was a bed bug problem, so it sounds like it\'s been ongoing.

Former Nazi guard appeals to immigration board in VirginiaBreaking News
FALLS CHURCH, Va. – A former Nazi concentration camp guard who has lived quietly in western Pennsylvania for more than 50 years took his fight against deportation to the nation's highest immigration court Thursday, arguing that he shouldn't be punished because he served in Hitler's army against his will.
The Board of Immigration Appeals in Falls Church heard the appeal from 88-year-old Anton Geiser of Sharon, Pa., who acknowledges serving in the Nazi SS as a guard in the Sachsenhausen and Buchenwald concentration camps. A federal judge ordered him deported in 2010.
But his lawyer argued that the court should have considered that Geiser was forced to join the SS against his will as a 17-year-old.
Government lawyers argued to uphold the deportation. They said federal law places former Nazis in a harsher immigration category, and no exceptions should be made because of compulsory service....

Definición de choroid en inglés:
Resembling the chorion, particularly in containing many blood vessels.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- As can be seen in the left hemisphere, the choroid plexus protrudes into the central part of the lateral ventricle, and the route of entry of the plexus is via the choroid fissure, between the fornix and the lamina affixa.
- Medaka P is strongly expressed in the eyeball of embryos and adults, where melanin is produced in the choroid membrane and retinal pigment epithelium.
- Thus the choroid plexuses of the lateral ventricles are in fact only lateral expansions of the tela choroidea of the 3rd ventricle, and they extend into the lateral ventricles by way of the choroid fissures.
(also choroid coat) The pigmented vascular layer of the eyeball between the retina and the sclera.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- Underneath the retina is the choroid - a thin layer of blood vessels that supplies oxygen and nutrients to the retina.
- These changes occur in the optic disc or the place from where the optic nerve exits the eye, the retina or the light sensitive layer and the layer behind the retina called the choroid.
- Choroidal melanoma is a tumor of the eye that forms from pigmented cells of the choroid, a layer of vascular tissue in the back of the eye.
choroidal adjetivo
- Oraciones de ejemplo
- The final frame is a photograph from indocyanine green angiography, showing the detailed architecture of the choroidal vasculature
- Fundal examination showed a large choroidal rupture of the left macula.
- However, the neovascular, exudative form results in serous or hemorrhagic detachment of retinal pigment epithelium and choroidal neovascularization.
Mid 17th century: from Greek khoroeidēs (adjective), alteration of khorioeidēs, from khorion (see chorion).

FLORIDA MORTGAGE BROKER: Finding the "RIGHT REALTORâ€
As a Florida Mortgage Broker who has been in the business since the 90's, through the highs and lows of this rollercoaster called the Florida Real Estate Market, who has extensive experience dealing with realtors all over Florida, I can't stress to you how important it is to shop realtors in advance. But as you'll soon see, there are a lot of realtors in Florida who want your business, so shopping for that "Right One†can be overwhelming! There are literally thousands of realtors to choose from in FL, and most are good realtors who will do a decent job and get you a decent deal, but as a 2012 buyer you want an Extraordinarily Good Deal!
They say that approx. 68% of consumers end up working with the first or second buyer's agent they contact. Unfortunately, soon after many buyers feel they commitment to working with the wrong realtor, but feel obligated to work with that realtor throughout the buying process, all the while wishing they had shopped more realtors in advance to find that "RIGHT ONE.â€
So here's a quick 5 item test to help identify that "Right One.â€
Find one who:
1. treats you as if you are buying a $5,000,000 property
2. is willing to disclose good credit and scores over 700 with no Foreclosures, BKs or Short Sales
3. has a smart phone so they can answer all your calls and emails quickly throughout
4. is a broker or buyer's agent who does not have to split the 3% commission points
5. is willing to offer Realtor Rebate to buyers willing to get Pre Approved in advance
Then, here's a simple 2 step way to get your Best Overall Deal…
contact the realtors you think you like and listen to what they say they'll do for you. Then ask them to refer you to their very best "Preferred†or "In-House†Lender. Listen to their best purchase strategy and ask for their best written quote on an estimated sales price, on a TBD (To Be Determined) property address.
contact me, I'll present my best purchase strategy, show you what my realtor partners can do for you. Then compare to see which team offers the best purchase strategy and your best overall deal.
You'll be shocked at the difference you'll find with such little effort!
NOTE TO CONSUMERS: shop multiple Lenders and realtors for your Best Overall Deal!
Call me today, I actually answer and return phone calls.

I would like to apply for the job of finding your next home, please feel free to contact me through my website,
Experience- over 3-5 years may be very sufficient as long as they closed many deals that correspond with the type of property you are buying. Condos, Townhomes, Single Family residences are NOT the same thing, and forget warehouses and/or rentals- They need to be knowledgeable regarding what you are choosing. Ask about certifications as well, or background. A mother of three who has been at home for the last 8 years and is returning to the workforce as a licensee to make part-time money, well... Look for professional designations/certifications such as GRI. Graduaute Realtors Institute, thats a big one and there are others. [beware some cert.s can be had in a four hour course]
Local knowledge- How long have they been active in the neighborhoods you are searching in? Ask to see sale info. of addresses corresponding in those areas where your prospective agent has made a sale, with details.
HUD-1 is the real deal! - Many offices are charging JUNK FEES to the buyer. A HUD-1 will show this. Also, what concessions were negotiated in the transaction that may be beneficial to you in yours? i.e. Seller contribution.
Lastly, avoid office with tons of agents, it just means they will hire anybody. Look for a strong office. This does not mean one of the big chains, by any means! Your agent should be very strong on finance, specifically mortgage financing, and some taxation subjects. If not, quack, quack, he/she is a duck.
In closing, you have done the right thing to find what you can spend. Next BE SURE you get an attorney on your side, in your corner, to review your contract [a must] and conduct your interests forward through closing. A good real estate attorney will review your GFE to be sure you are getting a good mortgage. And guess what, The cost to have a reputable real estate attornney handle all aspects in a normal transaction may not exceed, as little as $700.00. [minimum needs in a clean transaction, contract review and HUD-1 review, you don't need them to attend your closing if all is handled well ahead of time]
In Good Faith,
REALTOR John B. Anderson
P.S. shop your loan, compare, try internet based resources like AIM, they are real, and good. It is hard to beat however, bricks and mortar office, locally, where you can meet an actual loan officer. Mortgage Brokers are only for challenging cases where you will expect to pay more and it is okay. they can be a lifesaver in tough cases.
You may want to kick Chase to the curb. The FHA, though I offer them too, are very costly loans with the monthly Mortgage Insurance payments and that 1.75% Financed FHA MIP fee that you pay interest on too all adds up!
Consider putting LESS down, only 3% vs 3.5% FHA and also avoid the extra monthy FHA MI payment too!

Synthesis and applications of 2,7-carbazole-based conjugated main-chain copolymers containing electron deficient bithiazole units for organic solar cells
A series of low-band-gap (LBG) donor–accepor conjugated main-chain copolymers (P1–P4) containing planar 2,7-carbazole as electron donors and bithiazole units (4,4′-dihexyl-2,2′-bithiazole and 4,4′-dihexyl-5,5′-di(thiophen-2-yl)-2,2′-bithiazole) as electron acceptors were synthesized and studied for the applications in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. The effects of electron deficient bithiazole units on the thermal, optical, electrochemical, and photovoltaic (PV) properties of these LBG copolymers were investigated. Absorption spectra revealed that polymers P1–P4 exhibited broad absorption bands in UV and visible regions from 300 to 600 nm with optical band gaps in the range of 1.93–1.99 eV, which overlapped with the major region of the solar emission spectrum. Moreover, carbazole-based polymers P1–P4 showed low values of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) levels, which provided good air stability and high open circuit voltages (Voc) in the PV applications. The BHJ PV devices were fabricated using polymers P1–P4 as electron donors and (6,6)-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) or (6,6)-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM) as electron acceptors in different weight ratios. The PV device bearing an active layer of polymer blend P4:PC71BM (1:1.5 w/w) showed the best power conversion efficiency value of 1.01% with a short circuit current density (Jsc) of 4.83 mA/cm2, a fill factor (FF) of 35%, and Voc = 0.60 V under 100 mW/cm2 of AM 1.5 white-light illumination. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Boeing internships propel EMS student toward dream
Shelby Miller just can't get enough of Boeing. In high school, Miller was selected to participate in the company's "School-to-Work" program, which sends students to visit Boeing six times. Through that experience, she knew she wanted to be an engineer and work for a large, interdisciplinary company like Boeing. Now a Penn State senior majoring in environmental systems engineering in the health and safety engineering option, Miller has had the chance to get a more in-depth view of the company's operations through two summer internships.

Gasometric methods for estimating blood oxygen are time-consuming. This consideration often limits the number of observations which can be made in the course of experiments requiring oxygen determinations. In many cases it is an arteriovenous difference which is particularly desired, as in the measurement of cardiac output by the Fick principle, or the estimation of oxygen consumption by human liver, kidney, or brain. The present paper describes a rapid, simple spectrophotometric method for determination of arteriovenous oxygen differences with an accuracy satisfactory for ordinary needs. The absolute oxygen content can also be estimated, subject to error caused by "inactive" hemoglobin. The method is based upon the principle that two well hemolyzed samples of blood drawn nearly simultaneously from the same individual will have substantially the same total hemoglobin content, "inactive" hemoglobin (1), turbidity, and content of other light-absorbing material; and that, consequently, the difference in optical densities of the two

Monte' Morris, Jalen Brunson among the top performers at Nike Skills Academy
Jon Lopez/Nike
LOS ANGELES — I spent the last three days in California watching some of the best college players in the country work out and scrimmage at the Nike Skills Academy. Here are five players that stood out:
Monte' Morris, Iowa State: The way that the games at the Nike Skills Academy were set up was pretty standard pickup basketball rules. Games were seven minutes long, winners stay on. On Monday night and Wednesday night during the scrimmages, the team that Morris was on went on a long winning streak, and on both nights, he was the best player on the floor for that team. College basketball fans know what Morris can do by now, as do NBA scouts. But he nonetheless impressed this week, and it wasn't just his change-of-speed or playmaking ability. On the final night of the camp, everyone in the gym was gassed. Six of the 20 or so college kids at the camp were sitting out with "injuries" sustained during grueling three-a-day workouts. Morris? He played through the cramps and the dead legs. During the final session, when he was asked by camp director Miles Simon if he was tired, Morris simply answered "I'm not telling you that" and went out and won upwards of 10 games in a row.
Chris Boucher, Oregon: Boucher played with a ton of confidence all week long, doing all of the things that we've come to expect out of Canada's surprising star forward. His length is ridiculous and he spent much of the week swatting shots at the rim, a terrific skill to have when he's hitting threes the way that he did in the Hawthorne hangar. Boucher is going to be a very, very valuable piece for the Ducks, but his impact is going to be somewhat limited because he's still just as skinny as ever.
Jalen Brunson, Villanova: Brunson is a basketball savant, the kind of player that sees the game a step ahead of everyone else. He had a rough start on Monday night, but throughout the week was consistently creating open looks for teammates that, in many cases, he had never played with before. On the final night of the camp, Brunson had a fun little battle with Jordan McRae, a former Tennessee Vol that has bounced around the NBA the last two years. After McRae bodied Brunson in the post, Brunson answered with a nifty, driving layup before forcing a McRae turnover and shaking him at the other end to hit a game-winning, step-back jumper. I'm not sure if Brunson has the athleticism to end up being an NBA player, but I wasn't sure that T.J. McConnell or Fred VanVleet had enough athleticism, either.
Jonathan Motley, Baylor: Boucher was the most impressive front court prospect in the camp, but Motley was probably the best front court player in Los Angeles this week. Motley has always been somewhat underrated because of the way he is used at Baylor, but he should be in line for a huge year for the Bears. He showed off a better-than-I-realized low-post repertoire and even knocked down a couple of perimeter shots.
Josh Hart, Villanova: Hart spent much of the week as Morris' teammate, doing just as much as the Iowa State point guard to ensure that his team was always winning. So while I'm about to hit him with a couple of criticisms, understand that it comes with the caveat that he was awesome this week. Hart's jumper went in at a really good clip, but his stroke is still weird enough — and his bad misses are still bad enough — that concerns about his ability to consistently make NBA threes are more than valid. The other issue? He has a penchant for make some headache-inducing plays that make you wonder just what in the world he saw that made him think that was a good idea.
- On the first night of the camp, the gym was flooded with NBA guys coming through to get in a workout and some high-level pick-up. At one points, Julius Randle, Aaron Gordon, Stanley Johnson, Jordan Clarkson and Devin Booker were all on the same team. They lost to a a squad led by Morris, Hart and Alec Peters.
- Speaking of Peters, the Valparaiso star played very well all week. I'm convinced that, had he opted to be a grad transfer and leave Valpo, he would have been an impact player at just about any program in the country. If it all comes together for him next season, he'll have a chance to put up ridiculous numbers.
- Jaron Blossomgame of Clemson was impressive all week and threw down the best dunk that I saw during the camp. He could've turned pro this offseason and ended up getting picked in the second round while earning some guaranteed money. But he opted to return, in part to prove that he's more than just a capable shooter. He did not do that the last three days.
- Michigan State's Miles Bridges is stupid athletic. He's ridiculous. I'm not sure he's a human. There are going to be a couple of Big Ten opponents that get utterly embarrassed by him this year. But … beyond the dunks, I'm just not sure how he is going to be able to score at that level.
- Illinois forward Malcolm Hill might be the most underrated player in the country. The 6-foot-8 forward is what we call a bucket-getter. He'll probably lead the Big Ten in scoring this season.
- Edmond Sumner of Xavier has continued to fill out his body. He told me he was up to 185 pounds earlier this summer and that he'll hopefully be over 190 by the time the season starts. When he committed Xavier he was on the wrong side of 150 pounds. Oregon's Tyler Dorsey also looks like he's spent some time in the weight room. One scout said it looks like he's put on a good 20 pounds since he's been in Eugene.
THE BAMBA: Mohamed Bamba's mind is as bright as his hoops future
Jon Lopez, Nike
LOS ANGELES — Fresh off of the gold medal he won in the U18 FIBA Americas tournament in Chile, Mohamed Bamba returned to the states and headed almost directly to Los Angeles to attend the Nike Skills Academy.
Attend. Not participate, at least not during the first day and a half of the camp.
He wasn't alone in this decision. His USA Basketball teammates Michael Porter Jr., Trae Young and Hamidou Diallo also sat out parts or all of the first day. They had gone from Peach Jam in Augusta to the national team training camp in Houston to Chile, where they played five games in five days. A day off on the first Monday after the end of the July Live Period is almost necessary with the schedule that some of the nation's elite high school prospects play.
But Bamba's decision wasn't strictly based on trying to catch up on rest.
He had left his soles in Valdivia.
"I have flat feet," Bamba told NBCSports.com on Tuesday as he launched into the saga of his shoes, and because of those flat feet — and an ankle injury he suffered in the spring — the 7-foot Bamba has to wear specially made inserts in the sole of his shoes when he plays. When you're that tall and your feet are that big, you're not exactly buying those inserts off the rack.
During the tournament in Chile, Bamba became something of a sensation because his last name happens to be the name of a Mexican folk song, 'La Bamba,' made internationally famous by Richie Valens. The fans would go crazy every time he made a play. They made signs for him. They tabbed him as a third-party candidate for the people that don't want to see Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump in the White House.
Bamba loved it, so much so that, when the tournament ended, he gave his shoes — soles and all — to a young Chilean boy who had become his biggest fan.
It wasn't until he got back to the hotel that he realized his mistake. He was able to track the kid down on social media and got one of the soles back that night, but the other shoe had been taken by someone else. By the time they found that person, it was too late. Bamba was going to have to wait to get his soles shipped back to him in the States. He won't get them until he's home in New York, which means that his time on the courts in a modified airplane hangar at the Hawthorne Airport was dictated by how effectively the training staff could replicate his soles with athletic tape.
All because he got excited and gave his shoes to a fan.
It was a pretty dumb thing to do for a kid who is decidedly not dumb.
Mohamed Bamba is among the elite of the elite in the Class of 2017. He's a consensus top four prospect in the class, a kid that has a very real chance to be the No. 1 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. He's no where near a finished product yet, but his ability to change the game on the defensive end of the floor is special.
"He's a dinosaur, man," is how one coach of a top-25 program described Bamba, and it's a pretty apt comparison. He's 7-foot in shoes and soles with a wingspan that has been measured at 7-foot-9.5 and a standing reach of 9-foot-6. Those numbers are unheard of, and given his knack for blocking and changing shots at the rim, it's not hard to look at him and see a guy that can one day influence a game the same way Rudy Gobert or Hassan Whiteside can defensively.
The offensive end of the floor is where Bamba is still very much a work in progress. His post game is somewhere between ineffective and developing, but that will come as the 210-pound Bamba adds some weight and strength. He's not a guy that you want shooting a lot of jumpers, but his stroke and soft touch are impressive enough that it's fairly easy to project him as a guy that will consistently make perimeter shots one day. He's not as fluid or as mobile as some of the more offensive-minded bigs you'll come across, but he's not uncoordinated, either.
He's never going to be Karl Towns or Anthony Davis, but if his ceiling is Rudy Gobert with a jump shot, that's something that will make him very attractive to a lot of NBA teams.
Bamba knows this.
He also knows, like the rest of the basketball-watching world, that the salaries NBA players are getting these days are massive. It's very much within the realm of possibility that Bamba could earn nine figures in NBA paychecks by the time it's all said and done. Bamba's smart — there's a reason that Duke and Harvard (yes, Harvard) are two of the schools that are highest on the list of schools chasing him — smart enough to know what he doesn't know, including the ins and outs of the NBA salary cap and salary structures. Why is every max contract worth a different amount of money? Why was it a popular refrain to say that Kevin Durant left money on the table when he signed with the Golden State Warriors?
And that's why Bamba ponied up the money to head to Boston and attend the MIT Sloan Analytics Conference, a weekend-long festival of sports nerds that are interested in things beyond how many points someone scored in a game. Bamba attended a presentation breaking down the best way to defend pick-and-rolls, sat in on a session analyzing how an NBA front office works and, fittingly enough, learned about predictive injury analytics and injury prevention.
"I had never thought about efficiency before," Bamba said. "In high school it's about how many points you score, not how many shots it takes or possessions it takes."
'Student-athlete' is something of a tongue-in-cheek term in this day and age given the inherent unfairness of amateurism in the NCAA, but Bamba is as much a student as he is an athlete. He's got an inquisitive nature, a desire to learn. His trip to MIT started as a joke about him being a dork, but once he found out what it was he became intrigued. So he went. He's been studying up on speeches that he attended in the months since he left Boston, learning more and more about NBA contracts and how players can manage their money. "If you're going to be an multi-million dollar investment, you should know why and how it works," he said.
He's in business and marketing classes at the Westtown School now, and he says that regardless of how long it takes him to declare for the NBA Draft, he will be getting his degree. But when asked by a reporter if he's preparing himself, on the chance that he goes one-and-done, to test out of intro classes and take more advanced courses as a freshman, Bamba admitted it was the rare topic he had no knowledge of.
"I've never thought about that," he said.
"But I'm going to look into it now."
Top-25 guard trims list to six
One of the top points guards in the Class of 2017 has trimmed his list of potential collegiate destinations to six.
Trae Young, a consensus top-25 recruit, listed Texas Tech, Kansas, Oklahoma, Washington, Oklahoma State and Kentucky as the schools he is considering as he readies to begin his senior year of high school.
The list of the 6-foot-2 point guard is largely provincial as it includes Oklahoma, whose campus is just minutes away from Young's Norman North High School, and fellow in-state school Oklahoma. Another pair of Big 12 schools make the list in powerhouse Kansas and the Red Raiders, whose first-year coach, Chris Beard, has spent the bulk of his career working in Texas. Texas Tech is also Young's father's alma mater. Washington has been on a role sending its players to the pros and recently received the commitment of top-five 2017 recruit Michael Porter, Jr.
Kentucky, of course, needs no explanation as to its attractiveness to high-level players.
Top-100 guard commits to Xavier
Xavier has added a top-100 prospect into its 2017 recruiting class Wednesday.
Elias Harden, a shooting guard from Georgia, pledged to the Musketeers via social media to become the second member of Chris Mack's next class.
"The recruiting process was not EASY AT ALL," Harden wrote on Twitter. "I wanna thank all the coaches that took time to recruit me.
"WIth that being said I will continue my academic and athletic career at Xavier University."
The 6-foot-6 guard is ranked 92nd overall by 247Sports and had offers from Auburn, Maryland, Texas Tech and Ole Miss. He joins Jared Ridder, a Missouri guard, as part of the 2017 Xavier class.
The Musketeers return the bulk of last year's 28-6 team that narrowly missed out on the Sweet 16.
Clemson recruit to enroll early
Clemson will get a four-star recruit on campus a year earlier than it expected, though his on-court debut for the Tigers will remain on schedule.
A.J. Oliver, a guard from South Carolina, will enroll early at Clemson and redshirt this upcoming season, he announced via social media Wednesday.
"I woke up this morning and realized that the greatest opportunity for me is to enroll early into Clemson," he wrote on Twitter. "I will redshirt a year & start my college career early."
Oliver, whose mother is the head women's basketball coach at Clemson, was a consensus top-100 player in the class of 2017 who committed to the Tigers last December. Texas Tech and the College of Charleston were involved before his commitment.
A three-star shooting guard, Scott Spencer of Virginia, was previously the only member coach Brad Brownell's 2016 class. While Oliver's decision to redshirt will keep him off the court for the 2016-17 season, he'll have spent a full season in the Tiger program before making his debut in 2017
The cupboard isn't bare in 2017 for the Tigers due to Oliver's reclassification because Clemson received a commitment from power forward Malik Williams, a consensus top-150 player, earlier Wednesday.

BOULDER, Colo. -- Though it's not official, San Diego State
athletic director Mike Bohn spoke Monday as if he will become the
next athletic director at the University of Colorado in a hastily
called news conference before he was to fly out here to meet with
school officials.
"There is no other program in America expect my hometown that I

administrative staff today, I wish I could take the entire group
with me because I believe the team here is awesome."
CU athletic department spokesman Dave Plati, said there has not
been an announcement.
Bohn, 44, grew up in Boulder, and his mother, Marlyn, lives in
town. The Daily Camera reported Bohn was expected to be named CU's
new athletic director, replacing Dick Tharp who resigned in
In 18 months at San Diego State and five years at the University
of Idaho, Bohn dramatically increased football attendance and fund
raising at both schools.
When he was hired at San Diego State, the school was going
through an NCAA investigation and a state audit of the athletic
The CU athletic department meanwhile faces a $3 million revenue
shortfall this year and has been looking to boost attendance for
football and basketball games.
CU's football program has undergone scrutiny following
allegations that sex and alcohol were made available to recruits,
and Tharp, Chancellor Richard Byyny and President Elizabeth Hoffman
have announced their resignations in the last year.

The registrar's office at Southern Miss says freshman running back Antwain Easterling isn't enrolled there any longer.
Southern Miss football coach Larry Fedora says there's been no contact since he indefinitely suspended Easterling. That was on Feb. 19.
Easterling was a highly sought after high school player out of Miami but several schools back off recruiting him due to a number of off-the-field problems.
USM will play their annual Black and Gold spring game Saturday at Roberts Stadium.

ATHENS - Todd Gurley shook off a couple of defenders in the backfield, built up speed down the sideline, and saw another would-be tackler in his path.
ATHENS - No. 12 Georgia begins a stretch of seven straight Southeastern Conference games with a team that seemed to take all the steam out of the Bulldogs a year ago.
ATHENS - Coming off a game that was little more than a glorified scrimmage, Georgia is getting serious again.
ATHENS - The last year Troy lost its first three games, Herschel Walker was running toward the Heisman Trophy at Georgia.
ATHENS - Perhaps Georgia's depth at tailback didn't take an immediate hit after all when freshman Nick Chubb had surgery on Monday to repair his fractured left thumb.
COLUMBIA, S.C. - No. 24 South Carolina's defense showed it's not nearly as bad as it looked two weeks ago - and maybe that No. 6 Georgia isn't the runaway favorite in the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division.
ATHENS - Georgia's Michael Bennett was taken aback when he heard the stat.

Walmart #2561
23rd Street
Erie PA 16506
Today was a cold and rainy day
Daniel when he was getting up this morning, always so pleasant and smiling, that is because he is dry from wearing Huggies Snug and Dry
Before we were getting ready to leave to go shopping, he was letting out a little steam
His devilish look, he knows he is in trouble for pulling the clothes out of the basket
Crawling like a snake
Just arrived at Walmart and did not have the heart to wake him, so he stayed in the car with my mom.
This is the price for the Huggies Snug and Dry
They had many different sizes, most stores only a couple of each. There were no big displays of Huggies at my store, they were just on the shelves.
While I was there, Daniel wants to drink out of a cup, so it was time to get him a sippy cup
The stockings were hung by the Chimmney with care, but had to get something to put in them, Candy to have them climbing up the walls on Christmas
All sugar
I use to always get these as a kid, just keeping up with tradition
Here are some of the things that I got so far, just got a call from mom, Daniel is up from his nap and is a little cranky, so hope I have enough, have to go and checkout.
I will be good for about 2 weeks with these. Had to get wipies too was getting low.
After we got home from shopping, he was happy to be out of that carseat
Daniel getting ready to go to get a bath
But he decided he wanted to try to get away and go after his brother
Playing with his big brother
Slithering for the candy cane
This is were I keep all of his things and carry with me, when I am at home or go to his Mema's house. As you can see I have plenty of Huggies Snug and Dry diapers.
After Daniel's Bath getting ready to go to bed with his Huggies Snug and Dry underneath, I won't have to worry about him leaking. He will be dry all night.
and Huggies. #HuggiesWalmart#CBias#SocialFabric"

By the definition here (and in other dictionaries), TNT listed as a prime example is not an initialism since the N and T are from non-initial letters.
I'm in two minds as to whether to label "initialism" as a misnomer since it is very often applied to items created from non-initial letters, or to remove or relabel words we label as initialisms which do not match this definition. — Hippietrail 21:27, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
- One could argue that they are morpheme-initial letters, and could be legitimately labeled "initial" in that sense. Nohat 18:37, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
There are No Initialisms in America[edit]
I'm sorry, but the idea that the way in which an abbreviation is pronounced should determine whether it is classified with an Abbreviation or Initialism dictionary heading is just ludicrous. The words are still abbreviations, even if they demonstrate the properties of an initialism. The same holds true for abbreviations that demonstrate the properties of a palindrome or an anagram.
A second problem here is the strict criteria for an abbreviation to be classified an initialism; suggesting it be both the first-letter initials from words of a phrase, and mandating that those initials be verbalized letter for letter when saying them. Unfortunately, it only takes one language or dialect to break those rules for that word, before it defaults back to a regular old abbreviation.
Here are some examples of potential initialsms or pairs of initalisms, and how they may be pronounced differently.
- SMTP, clearly pronounced S. M. T. P. Nobody has attempted otherwise. However, its sisters...
- URL, pronounced either U. R. L. or /Earl/
- ROFL, is either R. O. F. L or /Rah-foll/ depending on who you ask
You may even be surprised to know that new "AOLers" are using the word nasal as a cute form of A/S/L, which was also deemed an idnitialism.
In light of all this confusion, I wish to propose all abbreviations categorized as Initialisms be re-categorized as Abbreviations, and instead given some property tag that identifies this unique sub-trait. ~ Agvulpine 08:17, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- Interesting. I have been a bit troubled by Abbreviations myself, but by the lack of proper Parts of Speech and handling of pluralization. Most are nouns, some proper, some not. Some are other parts of speech. Some are used as different parts of speech. Some nouns can have plurals, some can't. The Abbreviation/Initialism distinction provides some guidance as the how the abbreviation is pronounced, without requiring a full pronunciation section. Let's see what kind of discussion we get here. DCDuring TALK 10:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- I, too, am troubled by the lack of parts of speech, pluralization, etc., as I've noted elsewhere. (Just adding my voice to the clamor.)—msh210℠ 18:16, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- I've long held the same view as Agvulpine, but the powers of hypercorrection or whatever you wish to call it can be strong on Wiktionary. The Category system can be used for noting that an abbreviation is also an initialism, but just Abbreviation should be the actual heading - and it need not be linked either. — hippietrail 12:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- There was someone else who was interested in a little reform of this area. Let me look through my posts. If we have enough interest we might be able to sustain the effort to make something good happen. DCDuring TALK 15:07, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

This message comes from both Adora and Keith.
We've been discussing the reactions nonstop over the past few days. We've read all the comments and we know you're unhappy - and we don't want you to be.
We honestly just want to make positive changes to the site, but not at the cost of driving people away. We're both willing to work with you to find a solution that is more comfortable.
All previous plans are on hold.
What would you like us to do to resolve the situation? Would you prefer to have Adora back in charge?
The server has been paid up for quite some time, so if people truly want to have Adora back in charge, losing the site in the immediate future would no longer be an issue.
Keith would like to remain as part of the team (and fulfil a role as technical admin), but any future changes would go through Adora and be put to a vote by the community itself.
We're both busy with family commitments in the coming days but wanted to get this quick message out to you to begin this dialogue with you.

What is this for a kind of action? Is this another way of not listening to members and their mods, simply because they put something up there that you guys do not wish to have an emphasis on, let alone have not adressed these very valid reasons at all?
Way to go on restoring that trust and do not bother to say that this was a stupid whoopsie that has been made. That excuse is wearing very thin now.
For my part I'm willing to wait and see what will happen with the site, though I agree with what many already said, this community knows what it wants and I don't want flashy shiny features, I'm a reader, I come to this site to simply read stories and comment on them.
But this is also the crux of things - if all of my favorite authors leave, then of course I'll follow them. For now I'll just see how things will develop, though I repeat, I'm quite happy with the site as it is.
@Rhapsody: Since the article was removed, could you summarize what it said?
and cited this part from it:
"Can I / someone else write / complete / develop my / their own version of one of these unfinished tales ? (or any others)
The simple answer is NO.
You are of course free to do whatever you like for your own private enjoyment, but there is no question of any commercial exploitation of this form of "fan-fiction".
Also, in these days of the Internet, and privately produced collectors' items for sale on eBay, we must make it as clear as possible that the Tolkien Estate never has, and never will authorize the commercialisation or distribution of any works of this type.
The Estate exists to defend the integrity of J.R.R. Tolkien's writings. Christopher Tolkien's work as his father's literary executor has always been to publish as faithfully and honestly as possible his father's completed and uncompleted works, without adaptation or embellishment."
Soc Kemhard
I want to have that "yet" or "for now" removed never to show up again. I want every author here, and every reviewer to be assured freedom. NO site on the internet is fool proof against underage people gaining access to what is deemed unfit for them. Do what you can to make it secure and then let us be adults. I am 49 years old, far too old to be censored. As Spiced Wine says, we write because we must. The authors that bring so much traffic to this site will keep writing. It is up to you to keep them here. I think complete assurance of freedom and safety for mature authors would go a long way. We love our young fan fic authors. They are our future. But there are any number of places they can read and post. I enjoyed the adult community that this was, and I hope you will unquestionably remain.
The trouble is, Lisse, is that this has gone spectacularly tits-up, and the adult content is only part of the problem.
1) Keith Mander made it clear that he wanted to run this site to basically make himself revenue; not, as I thought at the beginning, to get the site to pay for itself -- a very different proposition, and one which I am sure most people would not be averse to.
From that comes
2) How do you monetize a site so it will bring revenue? Well, FF.Net runs ads; when I visit, the screen blanks out and hit me with a full-page ad; annoying, but I rarely go on FF.Net. However FF.Net will not host Adult rated stories. Both it, and LJ (under different owners) completely buckled under pressure, and removed adult content without prior warning. Ask Ziggy or Esteliel, both have to self-censor to post their work there.
Maybe Keith Mander can navigate the waters of advertising, but if that is so, then I can see all Adult content being pulled in the same way. We can only look at what's happened in the past, and to far larger concerns. He bought a Twilight fanfiction site.
Twilight is young, and sparkly (couldn't resist!) with a majority young authorship. I doubt he would run into adult content problems on there. It's like the Bahama Banks, pretty, shallow waters, where you can see what the content is. But that patch of the Pacific out there, where the waters turn deep, deep blue? That's the Challenger Deep, the deepest point in the ocean of fanfiction (and that's us: the Tolkien fandom.) It's a mile deeper than Mount Everest is high, and there are creatures swimming in those depths people don't want to imagine, and science is only just giving names to. Those names: Dubcon, MPreg, Noncon, Sub/dom, BDSM, slash, twincest, threesomes and moresomes? You have to understand what those names mean, and what they bring with them if you try and catch them. They're not tame, they're not comfortable, but they're never going to go away. Those creatures are perfect for their environment, and some people do want to study (read) them. So, if, as a site owner, you get barraged with complaints about adult content coming up in ads on a site that a twelve-year old can access, he or she is going to have to let those dark creatures swim loose. LOTRFF may exist to become a family-friendly site, but this particular author of a series founded on incest, M/M relationships, rape, torture and the occasional orgiastic ritual, will obviously not be using it.
And then there is the Tolkien Estate. While the Organization For Transformative Works are willing to defend our right to create and post non-profit fanfic, and to host our stories whatever the rating, I doubt a businessman would. To do that you would have to care deeply about fanfiction, and believe in it.
No fanfiction writer wants to see their Long Peace with the Tolkien Estate explode into the Dagor Bragollach and become the Dagor Nirnaeth Arnoediad. (Again, couldn't resist.) We're happy writing and posting our non-profit stories. Fanfiction as a whole does not mesh well with money. After all, if we wanted to make money from writing, we would not be writing fanfiction. We know we cannot sell it. We are passion-driven creatures. We don't mind archives paying for themselves, but even were the Tolkien Estate not an issue, how many people would be willing to post on a site knowing their work is paying some-one a good wage, while they (like many people) are just managing to make ends meet?
But the point is; none of these concerns were truly addressed, and people left. A community of 7 years duration has become a place I don't want to post any-more. It's like a city after a bomb's been dropped. We'll regroup and rebuild in other places, (and are already doing so) because we follow the authors -- that's what fanfiction is about after all: writing, reading, reviewing, discussing, becoming fans of fanfiction writers and their works. What can be done here, on LOTRFF? Now, I honestly don't know. It would have to be something incredible, and almost impossible.
What I find very disturbing is one of Keith's comments on his blog to KYMAHALEI concerning NC-17 material.
I'll reiterate that nothing is changing with regards to the site's policies in the immediate term. I'd like to provide some further clarification on this; could this therefore mean a change in the future if not now? It could, yes, BUT only if you, the users, desire to see any change. As far as I'm concerned on the matter, my opinion is mute and I'm not going to impose my ethics on the policies. Let's have an open discussion on this and make a collective agreement. (emphasis mine)
He's not going to impose his ethics on the site policy? That statement there makes me nervous, because it speaks that he has a personal issue with the NC-17 content, and if that's the case, when challenged, he's not going to fight for the authors' rights to post it.
From the beginning, I felt that ultimately, NC17 rated works would be pulled under pressure, and that there could be no reassurance on that issue.
I have now uploaded all my works elsewhere, and deleted them from this site. After four years, it hurt, but I would rather them be hosted on an archive where I know they are safe, and the owner, who also writes Adult work, will welcome them. Arbitrary deletion of NC17 has happened before, and I could see it happening here. The fact that is had not, and nothing had changed, was not reassuring to me.
I would like to see you stop being a coward and address the questions/concerns brought to you by the members of the community you ruined. Your silence in this matter proves just what sort of a person you are. Not only is ignoring the members of your website rude, it's bad business.
To those members who are still here and decided to give Keith a chance, perhaps you should check out the link someone posted at Keith's blog (http://globetrooper.com/round-the-world-slowly-with-a-laptop-2011>. Seems he is planning to travel the world. Kind of hard to do if you're only making a modest salary to pay your bills, eh? Face it, Keith is a liar and a coward and has abandoned this site. Hope you don't wake up one morning and find it has disappeared. Sadly, I think that is exactly what will happen.... ~Soc Kemhard
I do owe Mr. Mander a big thank you though: transferring my fics to another site (and re-editing them in the process) has really got my creative juices flowing again. So, for what it's worth, at least one good thing has come from this mess.
Note, Keith actually DID reply at his blog, saying it doesn't cost much to travel the world. Riiiiight. Sorry, man, but it takes more money than the average person has.
The link given about him traveling the world:
1. conversation between two or more persons.
2. an exchange of ideas or opinions on a particular issue, especially a political or religious issue, with a view to reaching an amicable agreement or settlement.
And here on the LOTR Archive? 3. SILENCE . . . for 31 days and counting.

"solipse festival" Chisamba by tgirl007
Chisamba Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 4 photos
Chisamba is a very small zambian village about 40km from Lusaka, give or take.....the Solipse festival was held here in 2001, to celebrate the total eclipse of the sun...beautiful people from all around the world congregated in this small village, as one people, onelove to dance and enjoy life.the energy at the solipse was phenomenal, the beats were out of this world and the zambians were so friendly.
i met rainbow people from all over the world...japan, holland, sweden, south africa, england,Usa,thailand, zimbabwe,zambia,india...and thats just to name a few...some pretty special folks, who i like to think of as sun chasing gypsies.My people.of the world.
this was my first real conscious experience of a solar eclipse, and it was out of this world(no pun intended) it lasted about 3 minutes in totality...and it was the strangest thing experiencing night time with a billion stars during the day?the birds went mad, racing home to nest, as they did not expect nightfall so soon.....sure it confused them completely...and it inspired us...completely......
- Pros:lovely friendly people
- In a nutshell:rough terrain but what an adventure
Reviews (1)
