It was stated Carroll would not be back but Tinsley had a chance to come back. That should be reversed. I think they will sign Carroll to a Evans type contract and say goodbye to Tinsley.This is why they kept the rights to McNeal a point guard which could do better that Watson/Tinsley combined.

The Jazz need to let Jefferson and Millsap go and offer Jeff Teague a deal Atlanta can't match. I don't think there's a better PG out there, who's available, than Teague that would best fit in with our young "core four". We could run a more up-tempo offense and get 16 and 9 from Teague. Favors and Kanter could both average a double double, Hayward could average 18/game and hopefully we can keep Foye and have Mo as our scoring threat off the bench. We can let Watson and Tinsley go, give Evans and Burks more playing time. That's me if I get to be GM for a day.

I miss Larry Miller, I miss him a lot. The Jazz would be better off in a city like San Jose, CA, Jacksonville, FL, Las Vegas, NV, Albuquerque, NM and the list goes on and on...Think about it, SLC is even smaller than Boise, ID and San Bernardino, CA. Marquee players really don't want to play her unless someone like Larry is running the show!

Carroll, the 4 new stars, Evans and Marvin Williams plus one of the older point guards should be keepers. However, I am deeply disapointed with the coaching staff and management right up to Greg Miller. In simpler words watch the playoffs and fire Corbin.

Unfortunately LivinLarge has the correct answer. Move, but don't think about San Bernardino, because the city is broke. Las Vegas would be great because that would reduce my travel time greatly and that city ain't broke. If they keep Corbin look for some of the core 4 to leave.

SLC is smaller than Boise??? Comparing metropolitan areas, Salt Lake is nearly twice as large as Boise. It's also larger than Albuquerque.

Atlanta has more cap room than the Jazz next season thanks to them being duped into trading for Marvin Williams.

Our team of specialists, based all around the world, can tackle any crisis or anxiety costing you sleep: corruption, fraud, cybercrime, contract disputes, litigation, intellectual property and licensing compliance, insurance claims, regulatory investigations, and so on. We'll work with you to overcome complex challenges, with an uncompromising approach in the war against economic crime. We're your trusted advisor, your expert witness, your investigator and your representative in mediation and arbitration.
We're accountants, financial analysts, technology experts, statisticians, economists, engineers, compliance officers, fraud examiners, former regulators and members of law enforcement who will pick through accounts and underlying records, sift electronic data, analyse contracts and interview people.
We fight threats to your brand and bottom line – anywhere and everywhere, at a moment's notice.
The headlines are full of companies accused of corruption, and those charges have a huge impact. No business is immune to corruption – deliberate or unintentional – or its effects. Senior executives may be genuinely unaware of any wrong-doing, but the public often refuses to accept ignorance as an excuse. Headlines on a single incident of alleged corruption can irreparably damage a company's reputation and finances, threatening its stability and competitive position.
Our anti-corruption professionals have experience, knowledge and global reach. They help our clients understand and respond to anti-corruption compliance in all its phases, even when their businesses span many jurisdictions and are governed by many regulators.
They help companies investigate alleged acts of corruption as well as design, implement, evaluate and monitor anti-corruption programmes.
Our services, which meet domestic and international standards, include:
As a result, we help organisations to:
Watch our short animated video on how our anti-bribery and corruption team can help you.
Organisations are increasingly looking at emerging markets – think joint ventures, mergers/acquisitions, export markets, cost reduction. But with the world of opportunity comes a level of uncertainty. Who are you doing business with? Are they the right organisations for you to be doing business with? Are there alternatives?
We can help you assess global risks to your business integrity, reputation and brand through:
Watch our short animated video on how our Corporate Intelligence team can help you monitor and mitigate your risks in real time using RADAR.
Today, cyber-threats are a clear and present danger to the global business ecosystem. Information security is a rapidly evolving game of advanced skill and strategy, and as a result, security models of the past decade are no longer effective.
The business world has changed; cyber-security is no longer only an IT challenge – it's a business imperative. CEOs and corporate boards need to get involved in managing cyber-risks, by providing leadership, oversight and governance. You need to protect the systems and information that your organisation's growth depends on. And you need to respond quickly to cyber breaches – or face significant financial losses and irreparable damage to your organisation's reputation.
We give technical help and advice to clients all over the world – whether they're handling a cyber breach or crisis right now, or want to be better prepared against cyber-attacks. Whatever the situation, we're here to help.
We have specialists in investigation, security and risk services, including former law-enforcement agents and attorneys. Our team includes Certified Information System Security Professionals, SANS Certified Forensic Analysts, Certified Information System Auditors, Encase Certified Examiners, Electronic Records Management Masters, Certified Fraud Examiners, Certified Anti-Money Laundering Malware Reverse Engineering and Incident Handling Specialists. We have 65 cyber-labs in 37 countries, and our methods and processes stand up to scrutiny by the courts and regulators.
We help to make your investments in security match the risks we've helped identify. We put together an integrated plan for information security, helping to secure your assets by:
Fledgling economies can create tremendous value. But they can also involve substantial risk. Not every business is equipped to recognise and understand risk-related challenges, much less counter them. It takes a special set of skills, experience and insight to know what to do in a business environment that might have:
No company makes an agreement expecting it to end in dispute. In business, however, disagreements can happen at any time. We help protect your organisation by pre-empting and avoiding disputes, as well as by helping you to deal with them effectively if they do happen. We also work closely with you to consider the merits of a dispute, helping you make an informed decision about whether to continue with the process.
Our disputes team consists of experts in finance, accounting, economics and industry – all around the world. We have a wide range of experience, from giving strategy advice to providing expertwitness testimony. We work on local and international disputes, arbitrations and mediations.Watch our short animated video on how our disputes services team can help you.
Electronically-stored information often grows faster than an organisation's ability to manage it.
IT systems are designed for normal business needs; they are not designed to respond to critical incidents that create an immediate need for that data to be preserved, analysed and produced.
Our forensic technology teams help clients manage vast amounts of electronic data and navigate the legal and business processes that are mandated by these critical events.
Such critical events include:
We have two core areas of expertise, the analysis of unstructured data (such as emails, office documents, photographic images etc) and the analysis of structured data (such as what you might find in a finance database). We refer to these specialist areas as e-disclosure and data analytics respectively. In reality, the line between the two is increasingly blurred and as a result we operate as an integrated team with the breadth of skills required to analyse all types of electronic information.
Underpinning the team is a strong understanding of the wider commercial issues, such as how to minimise the cost and disruption to the business and legal issues such as data protection.
Watch our short animated video on how our Forensic Technology Solutions and Investigative Analytics teams can help you.
Economic crime does not discriminate. It is truly global and the costs keep rising. Economic crime can seriously tarnish reputation causing organisations to lose market share.
As societies become less tolerant of unethical behaviour, businesses need to make sure they are building and maintaining public trust.
Corporate fraud is a real and substantial threat to the stability of any business. Often, an investigation starts with only a suspicion or an anonymous tip-off. Investigating bodies or law-enforcement agencies then take over.
The damage done by corporate fraud goes far beyond directly losing money. Even an accusation of fraud can undermine intangible assets like business relationships, reputation and brands – all essential to every business.
We help organisations manage their economic crime risks before problems happen, eliminating and mitigating threats. We can help you analyse, investigate and improve your control environments. Our global reach and dedicated local teams allow us to design a solution to your unique challenges. We've pioneered new technology for capturing, managing and analysing data to facilitate fraud risk identification reviews.
The world's governments offer great financial opportunities to businesses – not only in the defence industry, but also in healthcare, security, cyber, construction and information technology. In growth regions like the Middle East, Asia and South America, countries have increased direct spending with contractors as their economies have improved. And elsewhere – in the US, the UK and Australia, for example – governments are still among the world's largest consumers of goods and services.
Despite the vast opportunities in direct foreign sales, contractors face many risks that could affect their international success. Each government has different procurement laws and regulations, which change frequently.
Governments' budget priorities and procurement processes also shift continually.
Government contractors face a huge number of export-control laws and regulations. In the US, more than a dozen government agencies administer and enforce export controls. Many countries in Europe,Asia and the Americas also have export controls for local jurisdictions, affecting contractors doing business in those regions.
When disaster strikes a business, no-one is ever fully prepared. In the confusing aftermath, companies need to assess the damage and organise recovery efforts fast to minimise disruption and restore business operations. But the process of managing an insurance claim needs a significant investment of time, resources and experience. Without these, businesses are at a disadvantage when it comes to the nuances of loss assessment and resolution.
Our experience in insurance claims is extensive.
We have the global resources to respond to your claim, particularly after a catastrophic event.
We understand all the nuances of loss resolution and will be focused on getting the right result for you.
We're industry specialists and have significant credentials across the following sectors:
Fraud – along with other financial, non-financial and regulatory irregularities – is one of the biggest and most damaging risks businesses face.
The headlines are full of organisations both in the private and public sectors affected by fraud, irregularity or other wrong-doing – either as victim or accused.
The impact can be enormous. Our recent Global Economic Crime Survey revealed that one third of respondents suffered from economic crime, and of those almost 1 in 10 suffered losses of US$5 million or more. As well as financial loss, organisations face reputational damage, disbarment from tendering, personal embarrassment and so on.
In a global market with increasing legal and regulatory requirements combined with a more active enforcement approach, the investigation of fraud and other irregularities requires a thorough, professional and independent approach.
You, your shareholders and possibly regulators will require the assurance of an effective response, should an issue arise that poses regulatory, financial or reputational risk.
Our team draws from experienced investigators, forensic accountants, corporate intelligence specialists, forensic computer experts, economists, engineers and certified fraud examiners – to name only a few.
Our experts come from a wide variety of backgrounds, including law enforcement, accounting and IT. They combine practical experience and formal training with a wide range of tools and techniques to detect and investigate a variety of situations, including:
We've worked with many organisations to tackle their fraud and corruption risks. We help organisations with their strategies for planning, prevention, detection and response, so that fraud management becomes part of their enterprise-wide risk management.

Monday is the day we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, and it got me thinking of just how much this country has changed because of him.
When I graduated from college, no black person had ever gone to any school that I had attended.
And I still remember the first black person I shook hands with. I was grown and I was in the Air Force. It wasn't because I tried to avoid it, but the opportunity had never arisen. We lived on one side of town. The black people lived on the other.
Yet, in less than my lifetime--a lot less, I hope--we have gone from a country that officially sanctioned segregation to one in which it is universally condemned. The courts changed the law, but it was Martin Luther King Jr. who made us face up to the law and told us why we should obey it. And when he did, attitudes began to change.
Back in 1960, John Kennedy had to make a long speech to assure voters he could be trusted even though he was a Catholic. Think of the selling job he would have had confronted had he been black back then.
Yet, what struck me, when Colin Powell was thinking of running for president several years ago was that race was the one question that never really came up.
And today, George Bush's ethnicity--read that, Texan--draws more comment than that of his secretary of state, which is hardly ever noticed. That is a big deal, and much of the credit goes to King.
In leading black people to their rightful place, he led all of us to a better world.
Tomorrow is a day off for most of us. Use part of it to tell the kids what Martin Luther King Jr. did, not just for African-Americans, but for all of us.

Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia
The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, located at 75 Bennett Street in Atlanta, is dedicated to contemporary Georgia art created by artists who were either born in the state or who have made the state their home. The focus of the collection is primarily mid–twentieth century to the present and includes works by nationally renowned artists Benny Andrews, Radcliffe Bailey, Beverly Buchanan, Harry Callahan, Howard Finster, and Nellie Mae Rowe.
The museum was founded in 2002 by David Golden, president of CGR Advisors, a real estate advisory company
Previous exhibitions include the grand opening exhibition of new sculpture by Martin Emanuel; Artists of the Heath Gallery: 1965-1998, comprising solo exhibitions of works by Herbert Creecy, Cheryl Goldsleger, Kojo Griffin, and Hope Hilton; and special exhibitions from the permanent collection, which is accessible online through the museum's Web site. In November 2002 the museum mounted Color, Culture, Complexity, an exhibition curated by Ed Spriggs, of the Hammonds House Galleries in Atlanta, and Dan Talley, Savannah), iris prints by Robert B. Stewart (of Atlanta), and conceptually derived digital prints by Lisa McGaughey Tuttle (of Atlanta).
In addition to its exhibitions, the museum also sponsors ShedSpace, a community-oriented program to support local arts, and the Artist Resource Council, which serves as a conduit between artists and museums throughout Georgia.

Bought the remote starter to assist me with finding top dead center on cylinder # 1 in order to verify distributor setup was correct. Easy enough to set this up as you place one lead on your positive battery terminal and the other on the starter solenoid. However, after hooking mine up and pushing the button I got nothing, nada, zilch. I grabbed my multimeter and hooked up the probes to the remote starter terminal clips. What do you know, the circuit remained open instead of reading zero ohms. I disassembled the unit and found that the contacts inside were trashed and the push button assembly was not fixable. I ran up to the auto parts store and bought a $5.00 20 amp push button starter switch and wired it up to the leads that came with the HF one. Works like a champ now. The flaw on this item is the contacts to push button design.

Is there a way to make a break in the quicktags link line in the edit form?
What I want to do is have a certain number of quicktags on one line and then have a certain number on a new line underneath the first and so on. So I could finally have maybe 5 lines of quicktags instead of the default two.
Thanks for your help.

I cannot believe that Bennett's attorneys have managed to poison an otherwise clear-cut case: Lease signed, lease broken. How the hell did anything else become relevant?
Bye-bye Sonics?
So, what will it mean if all your predictions are totally off and the case comes out the other way?
the parties will be back in court no matter what she rules. how is that relevant to enforcing a lease without an escape clause?
1) This should be a clear-cut case.
2) Upon what mandate has the city been working behind the scenes trying to find buyers for the Sonics?
3) Seattle is blowing an opportunity to stand up to the NBA and slam the door on their asses as they leave town.
Clay Bennett & Co. haven't broken the lease. I don't get what the City of Seattle is suing about yet. I'm all for keeping the Sonics here, but who is suing who for what at this point? Clay hasn't broken the lease (yet) and the Sonics are still playing in Seattle. Lawyers out there -- don't they have to technically break the lease before Seattle can sue?

Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift in Joe's Jeans Rolled Shorts in Melodie
Taylor Swift was spotted on set of her new music video in Los Angeles, California last week doing many different outfit changes.
For one of her looks, Taylor wore a pair of Joe's Jeans Rolled Shorts in Melodie with a crisp mint shirt and red lace ups. I love mint right now, I think it looks so nice with light wash denim! Buy these shorts online at Joe's Jeans.

Favorite Celeb Outfit: Taylor Swift
Throughout this year Taylor Swift's style has gradually gone from girly to looks that wore more edgy. She wore shorts by Joe's, printed denim by AG, and has ended the year with her favorite pair of jeans at the moment, the Hudson Nico in Chelsea. See all these looks below and cast your vote.
Please vote for your favorite Taylor outfit in the poll below. When we say favorite, we mean her whole head to toe outfit, not just the jeans she's wearing. If you hover your mouse over each gallery image, you can see the number assigned to cast your vote. You can also vote in the other celebrity polls here.
Taylor Swift in Saint Laurent Black Leather Pants
Taylor Swift performs on Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve in Times Square where she performed both "We Are Never Getting Back Together" and "I Knew You Were Trouble" before sharing a kiss at midnight with boyfriend Harry Styles.
For her performance, Taylor wore a pair of Saint Laurent's leather pants with a red sequin IRO jacket. Overall, I'm not the biggest fan of YSL's re-branding, but I do think these are a great pair of leather pants! I like that Taylor is wearing some edgier, designer pieces now and it's fun to see her style change. You can buy a similar version of these in denim online from Saint Laurent for $570.
Taylor Swift in Hudson Nico in Chelsea
Taylor Swift was seen arriving at LAX Airport from Australia a few days ago in Los Angeles, California. She looked really comfortable and casual in her Hudson Nico skinny jeans in Chelsea with a red and navy plaid shirt and flats.
Taylor seems to be a really big fan of these jeans! I think this is the 5th time she has been seen wearing her Nico jeans in a row. I really like this combination though with the red shirt, it's really pretty! I just love Taylor's style in general actually, it's very girl next door. Buy Hudson online at HudsonJeans.com.

Two numbers $u_1$ and $u_2$ are selected uniformly randomly and independently in the interval $[0,1]$. What is the probability that $u_1$ is in $[0, 0.5]$ and $u_2$ is in $[0.5+u_1, 1]$? In other words, we are computing the probability of $u_2 - u_1 > 0.5$ assuming that $u_2 > u_1$.
If I remember correctly, this is equivalent to the following. Imagine the probability space is the unit square. The area of possibility is only the area bounded by the line $y = x + 0.5$, the line $y=1$, and the line $x=0$. Any point inside that triangle has its $y$ value at least 0.5 greater than or equal the $x$ value. This triangle is $\frac{1}{8}$ of the unit square, so the probability should be $12.5\%$.
Hint: Assuming that $u_1$ has been chosen such that $0\le u_1\le 0.5$, what is the probability that $u_2$ is chosen so that $0.5+u_1\le u_2\le 1$? What is the probability that $0\le u_1\le 0.5$? How does conditional probability work?
Draw a square $[0,1] \times [0,1]$ Let the horizontal axis be $u1$ and the vertical axis be $u2$. This represents the sample space. You are trying to find the region that satisfies the constraints and evaluate its area, which will be the desired probability. The first one $0 \le u1 \le 0.05$ is not hard to see. What part of that area satisfies the second condition?

Langmead underwent surgery on Thursday after a knee injury forced him off after just 12 minutes of the Cobblers' 1-0 home win over Oxford last weekend.
The centre-half, who had been an ever-present in Aidy Boothroyd's team this season prior to that, is expected to regain fitness before the end of the campaign.
Nathan Cameron has been drafted in as cover for Langmead and the 21-year-old, on loan from Coventry, will compete with Lee Collins for a starting role against the Gulls.
John Johnson was also withdrawn against Oxford because of a hamstring strain but the right-back will be fit for Friday night's fixture.
Midfielder Chris Hackett has been playing despite a slight calf strain and Cobblers boss Boothroyd may opt to rest him at some point over the Easter schedule with two matches in the space of four days.

CANTON, Ga. (AP) - A second former student says she had a sexual
relationship with a Cherokee High School teacher.
Cherokee County sheriff's Sgt. Jay Baker says authorities arrested Matthew Gantz, a 41-year-old drama teacher, last weekafter a former student said she had sex with Gantz in 2007 when she was 17. Gantz was charged with sexual assault of a person in custody and evidence tampering.
Baker says detectives filed additional counts of sexual assault of a person in custody on Tuesday stemming from the second claim of a sexual relationship, in 2005.
Cherokee County school system spokesman Mike McGowan says Gantz resigned Monday.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - An arbitrator has sided with the New Orleans Saints in ruling that Jimmy Graham can only be considered a tight end for the purposes of his franchise tag designation.
NFL franchise tags, which allow teams to keep one prized free agent, was set this year $7 million for tight ends and $12.3 million for receivers.
The NFLPA says it is reviewing the ruling and will advise Graham on his options, which could include an appeal.
Graham has skipped Saints offseason practices while holding out for a new, long-term contract. A favorable ruling would have further enhanced negotiating leverage for Graham, who last season led the Saints with 86 catches for 1,215 yards and 16 touchdowns.
Such disputes are not frequent, but draw lots of attention because they hold the potential to set a precedent.
Baltimore's Terrell Suggs, the 2011 Defensive Player of the Year, argued in 2008 that he should be tagged as an end, not a linebacker. The difference back then was about $800,000. That dispute ended when Suggs signed a new deal long-term contract with the Ravens. He later helped them win the 2012 NFL championship.
July 15 is the final day a team can sign 2014 franchise players to long-term extensions. Otherwise, they must play under their franchise tag designation for one season, after which they would be set to become free agents again. At that time, their respective teams could apply the franchise tag to them again as well.

Fiat owner gets revenge for unreliable van
Ben Terrett, a graphic designer in London saw this FIAT Doblo and snapped a photo. We thank him for his expert eye and quick reflexes. While at first glance this might seem to be a commercial van covered with advertising for the driver's company, it is in fact a van covered with angst. The sides and rear spell out a laundry list of complaints the owner has with it: "This FIAT is very unreliable, 2 new clutches, 2 new flywheels, 2 new master cylinders, 2 new servos, Since new, Nothing but aggro." Apparently this guy isn't too happy with his little FIAT and hasn't gotten any satisfaction from his dealer. As Terrett points out, it looks like a pretty effective way to take revenge. Thanks for the tip, James!

on January 26, 2014 - 12:01 AM
After Jean-Marie Tate was promoted to a management job at a DuPont plant in Kentucky in 1991, a male employee who now reported to her visited her office.
He told Tate he wasn't sure he could work for a woman. Tate told him she appreciated his honesty, but she noted that neither of them was going anywhere, so they would have to find a way to make it work.
"And it did," she said. "It worked out great."
"People make assumptions about what it's going to be like or not like and all that," she said of women managers. "But you kind of have to go past that and say, 'We're here to do a job. Let's do the best job we can and just work together.' "
Tate remained on the management track and has been the plant manager at DuPont's Niagara Falls plant since October 2010.
Times have changed since Tate had that experience in Kentucky. Women in management positions at manufacturing companies have become more common, but it can still be especially newsworthy when a woman is named to a top job in the sector. The position of chief executive officer at General Motors is so high-profile it would draw attention regardless of who had the job, but the new appointee, Mary Barra, also happens to be the first woman CEO at a Detroit Three automaker.
Scan the top 50 of Forbes' "world's most powerful women" for 2013, and you will find the names of manufacturing leaders including Barra, Indra Nooyi of PepsiCo, Virginia Rometty of IBM, Ursula Burns of Xerox, Marillyn Hewson of Lockheed Martin and Ellen Kullman of DuPont.
But in manufacturing jobs as a whole, according to a May 2013 report by the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee, women still have a ways to go. Women's share of U.S. manufacturing employment was 27 percent, down from more than 32 percent in the mid-1990s and at its lowest point since 1971, the report said.
Why was that share of manufacturing employment falling, even as the sector grew in the past few years? The report said factors that might be holding women back include a perception that manufacturing was stagnant and a stigma that manufacturing jobs required difficult physical labor and were only for men. The report noted technical advances mean many jobs in the sector require "highly specialized technical skills and little physical labor."
"Manufacturing is still a very male-dominated industry, but I think there is a lot of opportunity," said Nadine Powell, senior director with the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, who works with the partnership's Manufacturers Council. Powell said one solution is to connect with students – boys and girls alike – at a young age through a program such as Dream It, Do It, which explains to students what modern-day manufacturing careers are about.
The congressional report suggested that one way to attract more women to manufacturing jobs is to increase the number of women in industry leadership roles. The report said women held only 17 percent of board seats at manufacturing companies and made up only 12 percent of executive officers and 6 percent of CEOs, despite accounting for 27 percent of the manufacturing labor force.
Ben Rand, chief executive officer of Insyte Consulting, said he believes women leaders at Buffalo-area manufacturers have become "a more commonplace thing."
In some cases, women have risen through family-owned companies, he said; for them, taking high-ranking jobs is a natural progression, building on their years of experience. At Eberl Iron Works in Buffalo, for example, cousins Nora and John Eberl bought a company their fathers had run. Nora Eberl serves as the chief financial officer.
DuPont is, by contrast, a big, publicly traded company. But for Tate and Myoshi Aubain, family still influenced their decisions to join DuPont: both of them followed family members into DuPont.
Aubain has been with DuPont for 14 years. In March, the Queens native began her current assignment as production unit manager for Tedlar at the Yerkes plant in the Town of Tonawanda. Tedlar is a thin film used in applications such as solar panels and aircraft.
Aubain's father had worked as an engineer for DuPont, so her interest in joining the company "was almost through osmosis; it just happened." Her love for science and mathematics led her to a graduate degree in chemical engineering at Penn State.
Tate is a third-generation DuPont employee; while growing up, she spent eight years in Europe, where her father was working for the company.
While Aubain and Tate – who manages a Niagara Falls plant with 215 employees – have followed different career paths in DuPont, they share some views and experiences.
Both say they emphasize safety on the job. Aubain sees her style as "laid-back but firm"; Tate considers herself "hard but fair" as a plant manager.
And they both see women as generally more inclusive and collaborative in their management styles than men.
Aubain cites an example: With her leadership team, she likes to bring in people from the shop floor to provide input. "I want to not only get their buy-in; they touch the product, they know where the waste is."
On a previous assignment at a different DuPont plant, Aubain had a male employee admit to her he was unsure about working for a woman. Just as in Tate's situation, they worked it out.
"I think once you build that trust and that relationship there, it becomes natural," she said. "We believe in respect in the workplace. It's about getting the job done. Then everything else will come."

CAIRO (Reuters) - Secretary of State John Kerry met his Egyptian counterpart in Cairo on Sunday and said Egypt was a "vital partner" that Washington was committed to working with.
Kerry, the most senior U.S. official to visit Egypt since the army overthrew Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July, stressed the need for fair and transparent trials for all Egyptians.
Kerry's visit happened the day before Mursi and 14 other senior Muslim Brotherhood leaders were due to go on trial charged with inciting violence.

Product Description
From Amazon
2nd Chance reconvenes the Women's Murder Club, four friends (a detective, a reporter, an assistant district attorney, and a medical examiner) who used their networking skills, feminine intuition, and professional wiles to solve a baffling series of murders in 1st to Die. This time, the murders of two African Americans, a little girl and an old woman, bear all the signs of a serial killer for Lindsay Boxer, newly promoted to lieutenant of San Francisco's homicide squad. But there's an odd detail she finds even more disturbing: both victims were related to city cops. A symbol glimpsed at both murder scenes leads to a racist hate group, but the taunting killer strikes again and again, leaving deliberate clues and eluding the police ever more cleverly. In the meantime, each of the women has a personal stake at risk--and the killer knows who they are.
2nd Chance speeds along at a Formula One pace through many tight curves, but unlike recent entries in the Alex Cross series, it doesn't sacrifice good characters to a twisted plot. Lindsay's the star, but there's a fine esprit de corps among the four women, who are even better developed here than in the first book. What makes them both convincing and interesting as a criminal-justice juggernaut is their willingness to stick their necks out, even if they suffer for it. If you haven't picked up a James Patterson novel in a while, this is a great time to start anew. --Barrie Trinkle --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From Publishers Weekly
It's been a long time since we've seen a bestselling author of Patterson's clout credit an assistant author on the cover, and good for Patterson for that. The credit is deserved. This is Patterson's richest, most engaging novel since When the Wind Blows and, as the second in his Women's Murder Club series (after 1st to Die), yet more evidence that this prolific writer can roam beyond Alex Cross with style and success. Like all Pattersons, the narration mixes first and third person the first here is voiced, as before, by San Francisco homicide detective Lindsay Boxer, while the third-person sections cover the doings of the other three members of Boxer's informal club, a reporter, a pathologist and a prosecutor, as well as the villain's shenanigans. The basic story line is vintage Patterson, i.e., a serial killer (here, one known as Chimera) goes on a calculated rampage until stopped by the good guys or in this case, gals. As the victims a young girl shot dead, an elderly black woman hanged, two cops pile up, it becomes clear to Boxer and others that they're up against a racist who hates black cops; is the killer a cop himself? The story ripples with twists and some remarkably strong scenes, particularly Boxer's in-prison interview with a crazed con. But what makes this Patterson stand out above all is the textured storytelling arising from its focus on Boxer's personal issues. In the first novel, Patterson personalized Boxer by dealing with her rare blood disease; here, it's the emotionally powerful introduction of Boxer's long-lost father into her life that galvanizes the plot, particularly as Patterson ties the man into Chimera's rampage. Prime Patterson; first-rate entertainment. (On sale Mar. 4)Forecast: Patterson's name, major ad/promo and a 10-city author tour add up to #1; simultaneous Time Warner Audio and large-print edition.

With a serial killer dubbed 'Chimera', we are given a glimpse of pure evil--a killer whose targets appear to be random, with nothing obvious to connect them. But of course, Lindsay and her friends slowly begin to put the pieces together. And when the targets become more personal, especially to Lindsay, you are left wondering if there will be a Women's Murder Club by the time the story has ended.
With engrossing and 'real' characters, whose only fault is that they may be just a bit too intelligent and a bit too perfect, Patterson captures the camaraderie of female friendships. But it is the relationship between Lindsay and her estranged father that is key to this story.
In this second smoothly crafted installment, I am please to report that James Patterson and his mysterious co-author Andrew Gross have yet again captured my imagination and kept me up late at night. I couldn't wait to read it after I finished the first in the series--1st to Die--and I'll be running out for the third immediately. The plot races along at breakneck speed, with enough twists to make your stomach churn. I've been a longtime fan of Patterson's Alex Cross series, but I have to say...'Alex Cross move over! There's a new gal in town...and her name is Lt. Lindsay Boxer!'
I have a few questions regarding the co-author. Why is there no biography at the back for Andrew Gross? And why is his name in such tiny print? I also wonder how much of this novel he actually wrote.Read more ›
Also highly recommended: Roses are Red and The Children's Corner by Jackson McCrae.
Okay, this book was worse than 1st to Die. Why in the world would Lindsay be promoted to anything? She was wrong about the killer in her last case. She was wrong twice! Two times she went after the wrong person. She never even knew who the killer was until they gave themselves away. Heck, even I knew who the killer was way before then but Lindsay hadn't a clue. I won't even get into Jenks involvement, that shouldn't have been part of the 1st book, the book should have ended at the last chapter and that epilogue should be burned.
Anyway...this 2nd book tries to expand on the Murder Club and Patterson just doesn't pull it off. He's trying for the Sex and the City type of comraderie and it's so obvious that he's going to milk this for a series as far as it will go. Hopefully, it'll end right here. He doesn't write women well. And for a homocide leutenant, Lindsay is impulsive, sporadic, quick to judge, wreckless and dangerous. She should try selling shoes at Macy's instead and keep away from law enforcement. I read the 1st book, tried the 2nd but I won't waste my time with any more.

TOKYO Japan's Sony Corp said on Wednesday it will raise 150 billion yen ($1.9 billion) through a sale of convertible bonds, a third of which will be used for investment in Olympus Corp.
Sony will issue the five-year bonds convertible into own shares also to finance the acquisition of U.S. firm Gaikai Inc, to pay for a planned ramping up in CMOS image sensors and repay debt, it said.
Kazuo Hirai, who took over as CEO in April, has pledged to rebuild Sony around gaming, digital imaging and mobile devices, and nurture new businesses such as medical devices, as the TV business shrinks.
Sony, the maker of Bravia TVs, Vaio laptops and PlayStation game consoles, in September agreed to become the biggest shareholder in Olympus Corp to develop medical equipment businesses.
Sony hired JPMorgan Chase & Co, Goldman Sachs, Nomura Holdings and SMBC Nikko Securities to handle the offering.

AbstractOur team proposes to expand the capabilities of an existing software tool so that is capable of producing CAD models and associated configuration information for representative antenna designs given the type of information that can be found on a vendor's specification sheet. The user will select an antenna type from a database of antennas and specify design objectives. An underlying computational engine will be used as the basis for an optimization engine that creates designs to meet the objectives specified. The approach for creating representative designs for antennas will be demonstrated using realistic example antennas. Performance metrics will be developed to assess the accuracy of the approach. A list of common antennas employed on NAVAIR aircraft will be compiled and mapped to existing antenna types supported by Antenna Magus. If there is a need for additional antenna models, they will be developed. A study will be conducted to assess the accuracy of using representative designs versus the actual antenna design for installed antenna performance analyses. The proposed tool will also include a capability for searching the antenna database according to specific applications. This database will also allow the user to save, organize and share representative designs developed by NAVAIR.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky (WBKO) UPDATE 8:45 PM 11/1/13
Rachel Walters
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) --A Warren County woman that was reported missing last night has been found.
Twenty year old Rachel Walters' mother says watching her leave their home at 11a.m. Thursday was the last she'd seen or heard from her daughter until 7p.m. Thursday. Just before Tammy Walters got a text from her daughter saying she left her car at the Lexington airport, she reported Rachel missing. Walters says she had no idea why Rachel left or where she was going, and just wanted to know she was safe.
"I have no idea. I do not know. We suspect since there was no video surveillance at the airport showing her coming into the terminal, and they don't have any evidence she actually boarded a plane," said Rachel's mother Tammy Walters.
The Warren County Sheriff's Department says Walters was in Lexington today, and saw herself reported as missing on the news. That's when she went to the Lexington Police Department and told them she was safe and there by choice.
The Warren County Sheriff's Office is looking for a missing Bowling Green woman.
The parents of 20-year-old Rachel Marie Walters told police they last saw her around 11am on Thursday, October 31.
Her car was later found at the Lexington Airport. Police there are going through security footage to look for clues.
Police say Rachel has not answered any phone calls or texts.
Rachel is a white woman that is 5'3'', weighs 115 pounds, with blonde collar length hair, and blue eyes.
She was last seen wearing a charcoal 3/4 length sleeve jacket, dark blue jeans, dark snake skin knee high boots, and a silver chain necklace with a dragonfly charm.
She also had hats and high heel shoes with her.
Police say Rachel is know to frequent coffee shops and Barnes and Noble stores.
If you have any information about Rachel's whereabouts, call the Warren County Sheriff's Office at (270) 842-1633.

In an earthquake, huge masses of rock move beneath the Earth's surface and cause the ground to shake. Earthquakes occur constantly around the world. Often they are too small for people to feel at all. Sometimes, however, earthquakes cause great losses of life and property.
- earthquake - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
The sudden shaking of the ground that occurs when masses of rock change position below Earth's surface is called an earthquake. The shifting masses send out shock waves that may be powerful enough to alter the surface, thrusting up cliffs and opening great cracks in the ground.

Preferably, no. This is a case in which "Who is that?" is entirely acceptable, because the use of "that" reflects the uncertainty of the question itself. "He" is too specific; it offers a part of the answer you are seeking.
Maybe not. I am not a native English-speaker, but I would say, "Who is that person?" instead of he. He is supposed to be a "guy".

Used *JESGRAD07 and =zerudez's tutorials to make this so a big thanks to them! I'll probably update this as a get better with my tablet cause some things need work (such as the left leg >_<). Also, since I have gained some free time, I'm going to be working on commissions I've owned people since September so I apologize to the people who are still waiting for those. However, for those of you who asked for Sugimori artworks or linearts, unfortunately I'm going to have to cancel those orders. I'll still give you the sprites but since I'm still practicing with the tablet, I want to hold off on those for now. Sorry again and thank you all for being patient!
I love this little guy! And great job with Sugi's style

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. (AP) - Police arrested 14 people on Super
Bowl Sunday at a house in Sandy Springs they say was a regular host
site for commercial gambling.
Lt. Anthony Eskew police got a tip that a home invasion robbery would happen that afternoon at the house, where games were protected by armed security.
Eskew said the minimum to play ranged from $150 to $1,000.
A bartender served refreshments in the basement during poker games and valets parked cars behind the house.
Eskew said police determined the house had hosted at least two games in the previous week.
Eskew said three men face felony charges for organizing and profiting from the poker games. Police records show 11 others were
charged with misdemeanor violations of a city ordinance.

Prayer Stations were a very visible feature across Lower Manhattan for the 9/11 anniversary over the weekend, where booths were set up along Broadway, as well as by City Hall, close to the 9/11 memorial site.
The Prayer Stations were manned by volunteers from Christian organization Youth With A Mission, a group conceptualized by the founder Nick Savoca in 1992, with a goal of bringing prayer out to the people.

Muslim radicals have set fire to the U.S. flag while protesting in front of the American embassy in London during a moment of silence being held in memory of the 9/11 victims on the 10th anniversary.
While those at the memorial at Grosvenor Square paused to commemorate the moment the first hijacked plane hit the World Trade Center a decade ago, a group of 100 radicals, including members of Muslims Against Crusades, shouted slurs against the United States.
"USA terrorists," the group chanted while holding signs of various anti-American slogans. more >>
As Willow Creek Community Church Pastor Bill Hybels reflected on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he told his congregation to get rid of their naiveté about the reality of evil.
Just as the famed evangelist Billy Graham stated 10 years ago in front of then President George Bush and the rest of the country, Hybels affirmed Sunday that there is evil and Christians must learn how to respond to it.
"Some of us ... are naive to the reality of evil. We have never come to terms with what the Bible teaches about Satan and his power and how he organizes his accomplices to wreak havoc in this world and to wreak havoc in your life," Hybels said to thousands attending the Chicago-area megachurch. more >>
On the heels of the tenth anniversary of 9/11, conservatives and pundits expressed outrage over remarks by Paul Krugman, a liberal columnist for The New York Times, in his Sunday column titled "The Years of Shame." He took exhaustive liberties in criticizing former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former President George W Bush by writing, "what happened after 9/11" was "deeply shameful."
Krugman, whose columns typically support leftist positions, states that the attacks should have been "a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue." Bush and Giuliani, both of whom played instrumental roles in the aftermath of 9/11, were both referred to as "fake heroes" and described as having "raced to cash in on the horror."
The emotional distress that enveloped the country after the attacks was used to "to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons," according to Krugman. more >>
I certainly remember September 11, 2001. Like millions of other people, I have a distinct memory of where I was and what I was doing as the towers fell.

LAKE FOREST, Calif. – Grief coming as the result of devastating tragedies such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States is not something anyone can simply process alone, said Orange County megachurch pastor Rick Warren during special weekend services.
The five "Hope & Freedom" services at Saddleback Church led by Warren paid tribute to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 and the wars that followed. Also, given tribute were the U.S. military members serving in Iraq or Afghanistan in the last 10 years, and the first responders at the scene of the 9/11 attacks.
Warren told the more than 3,000 people at each service at the church's main campus and those watching the webcast at Saddleback.com that there were lessons to be learned from tragedy. more >>

Why Spin Needs a Doctor
Will Australia's reliance on fast bowlers survive Ashes cricket series?
Whenever a sports team loses a genius, it is only natural for it to struggle for a while. But even so, the travails of the Australian cricket team following the retirement of the great leg-spin bowler Shane Warne in 2007 have been exceptional going into the Ashes series.
Australia didn't need to call on the services of spin bowlers in the victory over England in Perth in the third Ashes test match that ended Sunday, leveling the series at 1-1. This is fortunate, given the quality of the spinners selected in the squad.
Steven Smith, who made the final team, and Michael Beer, the team's 12th man or reserve player, had played just 26 first-class Australian domestic games between them going into Perth. For now, the two spinners remain in the roster for the fourth test in Melbourne.
The problem for Australia is that, since the retirement in 2007 of legendary leg-spinner Mr. Warne, an all-time great of the game, it has been left with a big hole to fill. Mr. Warne's genius gave him a career-long exemption from having to work much on the characteristically svelte silhouette of an athlete, though he has kept up a high-profile social life. He was a remarkable cricketer in his test career, seemingly capable of taking wickets through sheer force of personality, but also able to make the ball do genuinely bizarre things, never more so than when he bowled the so-called Ball of the Century to England's Mike Gatting in Manchester in 1993.
The first ball Mr. Warne ever bowled to England, in only his 12th test traveled half the length of the pitch without deviating. Then, suddenly, it drifted sharply toward and then past Mr. Gatting's body before bouncing about 50 centimeters outside the imaginary line between the two sets of stumps. It then spun at an impossible angle across Mr. Gatting, who tried to use his body and bat to block it, and kissed the top of the off stump, the one farthest from the batsman's body. The commentators were as bamboozled as Mr. Gatting, who was usually superb against spin. He stood astonished as the umpire confirmed his demise.
It came as a shock because spinners had become such a forgotten part of the game. The great West Indian sides of the 1970s and '80s, for instance, were built around fast bowlers and often had no front-line spinner. Mr. Warne's magical delivery signaled the start not only of Australia's dominance of world cricket in the next 15 years, but also spin bowling's revival. That period saw test cricket's three highest career wicket-takers: Mr. Warne, India's Anil Kumble and Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan.
Since Mr. Warne's retirement, Australia has used 10 spin bowlers and so far discarded eight of them. Some of them, such as the luckless Bryce McGain, have lasted no more than one match. Australia's tale of woe shows just how important spinners are in test cricket, and what can happen when you lose a great one. Spinners are usually the game's most mercurial, interesting, quirky and diverse characters. Unable to blast batsman out like a fast bowler, they rely instead on changes, both subtle and extreme, in spin, speed, angle of delivery, drift and, in particular, trajectory. An ability to make the ball dip sharply before bouncing by imparting forward rotation on it is particularly prized.
Because test teams frequently feature only one spinner, often alongside three or four fast bowlers, he is always under the spotlight, especially toward the end of games. Early in a match, the pitch is generally hard and bounces evenly. As the game progresses, the pitch wears, gets slower and less bouncy, and starts to take spin—the surface loses its covering, cracks can open up, and the foot marks caused by bowlers create rough patches, which are capable of aiding spin to an alarming degree.
Spin bowling's three recent greats, and others who have followed in their footsteps over the past 20 years, rescued what had been a dying art in the '80s and made it an attacking weapon again, but with their retirements, the global cupboard is looking pretty bare. For the first time since the 1950s, the best spinner in the world is an Englishman, Graeme Swann.
The problem spinners face is that they are often expected to be both an attacking and a defensive weapon. The best are capable of being both—Messrs. Muralitharan, Warne and Kumble were wicket-takers and misers. But they have set the bar high. Some spinners of considerable but more limited talents, such as New Zealand's Daniel Vettori, recognize their limitations and focus on economy, landing the ball remorselessly in the same place with slight changes in flight and spin, knowing that even if they don't take wickets, they can more or less dry up the scoring. The highly successful Mr. Vettori, however, is lucky enough to be his country's captain, and to have played under one of the shrewdest captains in the modern game, Stephen Fleming. A lot of captains, particularly outside the Indian subcontinent, don't have as much confidence in their spinners, setting defensive fields with more men close to the boundary as the default to prevent run-scoring rather than taking wickets.
Then they wonder why their spinner can't apply the sort of gradually building pressure that close-in fielders cause, and that is the main way spin bowlers take wickets. Australian captain Ricky Ponting used to have Mr. Warne to apply that type of pressure, choking off the run-rate and Jedi mind-tricking batsmen into making mistakes, keeping it tight but deadly. He will be lucky if Messrs. Smith or Beer is able to do either, should they be called upon in the final two tests of the series. Suddenly, spin bowling doesn't look like a particularly potent attacking weapon in test cricket. But then that was also true in 1993.

This question: Automatically import models on Django shell launch has answers explaining how to import models upon start by using shell_plus, but no answer about how to run code in general.
But is there an easy way to just run a python script?
python manage.py shell [or shell_plus] --run=script.py
Would just run the script as if you'd typed the whole thing in as the shell started.
I realize that you can import things in the shell, but then they're stuck within a namespace.
I would think ipython should have a way to run a script, and then import its
locals() into the toplevel namespace. In that case you could just do
%magic script.py and we'd be down to just one step, which would be good.
Changing the way you start the shell should be fine - the main goal is to just be able to create a file that's run on startup of the shell.

Hi everyone,
I'm really nervous. DH found a fairly large (about an inch) size lump on the left side of DS's neck last night. We both have been noticing that DS never looks to the right! EVER!!! The farthest he'll look is either straight ahead or to the left!!!
I'm kind of freaking out. We made a doctor appointment for tomorrow but in the meantime you can't help but worry!
Is anyone else in the same boat? DS is a little over 5 weeks old.
