Some retail workers are singing the blues this year as the industry's "Black Friday" — the day after Thanksgiving and one of the busiest shopping days of the year — has begun to encroach on family gatherings for the holiday.
It's not that this is the first year that stores have been open on Thanksgiving: The nation's largest retailer, Walmart, has been open on the holiday since 1998, according to Debbie Wishon, a company spokeswoman.
But in a difficult economy in which retail competition has become more cutthroat than ever, industry experts say the number of stores looking to lure shoppers away from the Thanksgiving dinner table has reached a critical mass.
"It just wasn't big enough until now to register with people," said Kurt Jetta, chief executive officer and founder of TABS Group, a Shelton-based firm that analyzes consumer behavior and trends. "Retailers are basically on the borderline for hitting their profit objectives and since they were not getting any profits on that day before, anything they get on Thanksgiving going forward is an improvement."
David Cadden, who is a management professor at Quinnipiac University's School of Business, likens the Thanksgiving store openings to a retail version of the nuclear arms race.
"It's like if one side does this, you not only have to meet their threat, you have to go beyond it and do one better," Cadden said.
Given the delicate nature of the economy, retail workers are faced with a tough choice, Cadden and Jetta agree.
Many retail employees are not union members and have little choice about working if they want to keep their jobs, Jetta said.
"A lot of restaurants are open on Thanksgiving, so I'm not sure why retail employees would not be expecting to work," he said. "But who it really puts pressure on is the unionized retailers."
But Cadden said he is surprised at the number of retailers who are complaining about having to work on Thanksgiving. Continued...
"It's interesting given the economic climate," he said. "You're getting more and more widespread protest."
With the help of the United Food and Commercial Workers, some Walmart employees who are not members of the union will be doing information leafleting all weekend at selected locations of the 4,000 stores that the retail giant has nationwide. A Richmond, Va., Walmart will be the first place that the picketing strategy gets tested, according to the UFCW web site, which does not show any protests planned for the retailer's Connecticut locations.
Walmart will have 1 million people working on Thanksgiving between the associates in its stores and at its various corporate offices around the country, Wishon said.
"We're there to take care of our customers," she said.
One California-based Target employee, Casey St. Clair, started a petition on the web site Change.org urging the Minnesota-based retailer to abandon Thanksgiving Day hours. As of Wednesday evening, more than 370,000 people had signed the petition.
While no employees of Connecticut retailers open on Thanksgiving responded to efforts by the New Haven Register to get their opinions on having to work on the holiday, several residents said they think it's a bad idea.
Alicia Barone of Meriden, who was shopping at the Wallingford Walmart on North Colony Road Wednesday, said the increased emphasis on shopping on Thanksgiving "ruins the holiday.
"People should be able to spend time with their families," Barone said.
Others, responding to social media inquiries made by the New haven Register, agreed.
"I think employees should get the day off with pay," Cici Ray of Hartford wrote on Facebook. "Go home and enjoy their families, not put money in shop owners pockets." Continued...
A New Haven resident named Bill tweeted, "Why aren't commentators speaking out against this. This isn't 'family values' or traditional America."
Some retailers agree with that philosophy.
P.C. Richard & Son, which has six Connecticut stores, including locations in North Haven and Milford, and upscale department store chain Nordstrom, which has store in the Westfarms Mall in West Hartford — have taken out newspaper advertisements explaining their position about not opening on Thanksgiving.
"Retailers who choose to open on Thanksgving Day or night, show no respect for their employees or their families," the P.C. Richard ad says in part.
The posting on Nordstrom's Facebook page about its decision to remain closed on Thanksgiving had attracted more than 26,000 "likes" as of noon on Wednesday.
"We won't be decking our hall until Friday, Nov. 23," the retailer's Facebook posting reads. "Why? We just like the idea of celebrating one holiday at a time."
But some of Connecticut largest malls and outlet centers are extending their hours to accommodate their tenant stores.
Shopping malls in Danbury, Meriden, Milford, Trumbull and Waterbury are all opening at midnight on Friday. Many stores at Clinton Crossing Premium Outlets are opening at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving, while Tanger Outlets in Westbrook will begin its sales an hour later.
Westfarms General Manager Kevin Keenan said the Thanksgiving openings "are both consumer and retail competition driven." Westfarms has about 50 of its 170 retailers opening at midnight, Keenan said.
"The mandatory opening for all of our stores is 6 a.m. on Friday," he said. "The retailers that are opening at midnight based their decision on customer response. They count their proceeds on an hour-by-hour basis and at the end of the day, if the consumer is not reacting favorably to the change, retailers will react accordingly." Continued...
Westfield's Connecticut Post Mall is mandating all retailers that are among the mall's 165 tenants be open at midnight Thursday, said Suzanne Johnson, the assistant general manage of the shopping center.
Jetta said that while there may be some initial resistance to more stores being open on Thanksgiving, he doesn't expect it change.
"Deal searching is a deeply ingrained American value," he said. "There have been other retail barriers that have been broken and this is just one more."
Maggie Bodds and her friend Jan Mul, both of Wallingford, said Thanksgiving Day shopping hours don't bother them.
"The people that want to shop will," Bodds said. "The people that don't want to, don't have to."
"Just as long as nobody gets hurt," said Mul.
A quick look at some Connecticut retailers open on Thanksgiving:
—Walmart locations are open all day with in-store holiday specials beginning at 8 p.m.
—Sears, Toys 'R' Us open at 8 p.m.
—KMart will be open from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., close for four hours and then reopen from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m.
—The craft store chain Michael's will be open from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.
—Target opens at 9 p.m.
—Most of the stores in the Clinton Crossing Premium Outlets open at 9 p.m.
—Tanger Outlet in Westbrook opens at 10 p.m.
—The Westfield Connecticut Post and Trumbull malls open at midnight with all retailers open.
—Also opening at midnight with a smaller number of retailers are Brass Mill Center in Waterbury, and Westfield's Meriden Square Mall. The Danbury Fair Mall will also open at midnight, but information was not immediately available on how many stores would be open.
—Schedules of Old Navy and Gap stores vary according to location.

EuropaBIO, 2008
Biofuels factsheet: Environmental sustainability criteria for biofuels
[928 kB :: downloaded 923 times]
The European biotech industry strongly supports EU initiatives to boost the use of biofuels. EuropaBio also shares the concern of European leaders that the high use of energy stemming from fossil resources is untenable in the long term. The challenges of increasing CO2 emissions, climate change, increasing import dependence and higher energy prices all send clear signals that Europe needs to act now to deliver sustainable, secure and competitive energy. It is the opinion of EuropaBio that the only realistic alternatives today to fossil based energy for the transport sector are biofuels. The advantage of biofuels is indeed that they can be blended with existing transport fuels, and that they are compatible with existing vehicles. Well-to-wheel assessments indicate that the use of biofuels in vehicles yield definite benefits in terms of GHG emissions compared to petroleum-based automotive fuels, although the precise amount of saved CO2 emission depends on the specific type of raw material used, the production process for the agricultural raw materials, the conversion process and several other elements. EuropaBio believes it is fundamental that the emerging biofuels sector is built on sound sustainability principles. As the main driver of the biofuels policy is to achieve environmental, societal as well as economical benefits, it will be important that the long-term political and public support will be dependent on biofuels being seen to deliver on these goals in a sustainable and a socially responsible manner. For this reason EuropaBio supports the initiative of the Commission to develop sustainability criteria for biofuels.

Deaf Santa Visits Students at Paul B. Stevens School for Exceptional Children
Thanks to Tom Cooney and his friend Camie Gallo for submitting this!
The students at the Paul B. Stevens School for Exceptional Children in Clearwater eagerly anticipated the thrill of the season as they watched their chimney for the arrival of Santa on Dec. 17 and 18.
When they spotted the man with the white beard and red suit, they broke out in smiles as they waved to him and crowded around him in the lobby, "Santa! Santa!" they yelled and were met by a hearty "Ho, Ho, Ho".
When it comes to the sight of Santa, no matter our age or ability we are little kids at heart.
With the help of Elf Caren, Santa gave presents to the principal and vice principal and said they could open their presents early.
The different classes at the school then lined up for a chance to sit on Santa's lap. Anticipation filled the air heavier than sugar plum fairies. The excitement showed in the twinkling of their tender young eyes, as each student spent time with Santa telling him what they wanted for Christmas.
Santa would look to each face and briefly reflect on the happenings of this past year; the 20 children in Connecticut along with the little girl from our own back yard in Hillsborough county.
Each moment was bitter sweet for Santa. But for the children, they were oblivious to the antics of our modern world. They looked with wonder and innocence at the man wearing the red-velvet suit, touching the soft fabric delighted their senses as they chattered on; smiling faces delighted the visual senses of Santa whom is deaf.
As in the past years, being a Santa at Clearwater's Paul B. Stevens School for Exceptional Children is an experience that embodies the epitome of Christmas. Tom Cooney Sr. continues to show us that being a positive role model to all children causes a ripple effect. Elf Caren sums it up saying, "Santa Cooney really knows how to bring the REAL meaning of Christmas spirit into the students lives through the heartfelt contact shared each year."

Tom is a fine fellow and has been a community supporter for many years. I remember him from the old days of the Palm Harbor little league.

No Watson for global gladiators
23 May 2006
The World XV have not included Stormers flank Luke Watson in a powerful squad to play matches against the Springboks and a Western Province XV.
Watson told keo.co.za earlier this month that he would be playing for the World side against the Boks. The former SA U21 captain hoped to prove a point against Schalk Burger at Ellis Park, but his name was missing from the official squad announced on Tuesday.
Keo.co.za has learnt that Western Province director of coaching Nick Mallett would not release Watson for the matches.
Another Bok hopeful, Gloucester flank Jake Boer, has also not been included in the squad, although he's been struggling with injury.
One South African who could use the World XV matches to force his way into Jake White's squad is former Bok prop Cobus Visagie, who's been in outstanding form for Saracens this season.
The World XV, coached by 1991 Australian World Cup winning coach Bob Dwyer, will meet a Bok XV at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on Saturday 3 June before travelling to Cape Town for the Corne Krige testimonial match at Newlands on Friday 9 June.
The World XV kicked off its three-match programme with a 64-14 win over a Saracens XV in Richard Hill's testimonial match at Vicarage Road in London on Sunday.
The squad reads like an international "who's who†with the bulk of players representing New Zealand, Australia, France and England.
The back division boasts the likes of All Blacks Carlos Spencer, Justin Marshall, and Bruce Reihana, Wallabies Matt Burke and Joe Roff, French internationals Thomas Castaignede and Cedric Debrosse, and Irish international David Humphreys.
A host of international stars fill the forward ranks amongst them Visagie, French front-rankers Christian Califano and Rafael Ibanez, and loose forwards Olivier Magne and Sebastien Chabal, Englishmen Mark Regan and Tom Palmer, Australians Owen Finegan and Toutai Kefu and All Black Xavier Rush.
Dwyer, who will be assisted by Welsh Six Nations' winning coach Mike Ruddock and former All Black Craig Dowd, is looking forward to a good tour.
"We are fortunate that many great players have made themselves available for this tour,†he said. "They showed their class in the Saracens game and will no doubt be determined to keep the momentum on tour. We expect two tough games in South Africa against some of their top players.â€
The World XV will arrive in South Africa on 30 May.
World XV squad:
Backs – Carlos Spencer (Northampton & New Zealand), Bruce Reihana (Northampton & New Zealand), Justin Marshall (Ospreys & New Zealand), Mark Robinson (Northampton & New Zealand), Matt Burke (Newcastle & Australia), David Humphreys (Ulster & Ireland), Thomas Castaignede (Saracens & France), Fraser Waters (Wasps & England), Joe Roff (Kuboto & Australia), Isa Nacewa (Auckland Blues), Cedric Debrosse (Narbonne & France).
Forwards – Christian Califano (Gloucester & France), Dave Hewett (Edinburgh & New Zealand), Andrea Lo Cicero (L'Aquila & Italy), Peter Bracken (Wasps), Mark Regan (Bristol & England), Raphael Ibanez (Wasps & France), Tom Palmer (Wasps & England), Cobus Visagie (Saracens & South Africa), Owen Finegan (Newcastle & Australia), Olivier Magne (London Irish & France), Sam Harding (Northampton), Xavier Rush (Cardiff & New Zealand), Toutai Kefu (Kuboto & Australia), Sebastian Chabal (Sale & France), Julien Pierre (Bourgoin).

23 May 2006, 15:53 pmnature was very kind to coloured people. they could have looked like dalmations.
23 May 2006, 15:55 pmBliksem het jy vir Salma in After the sunset gesien?
23 May 2006, 15:55 pmja ek het.sy is lekker kort ook.vat haar om die middel en trek jou draad met haar.
23 May 2006, 15:56 pmCheers manne,geniet haar.
23 May 2006, 15:57 pmA repeat call to Luke: go East young man!
Don't bother with the Boks or JW, that No 7 spot is now firmly pencilled for a quota player behind SB, might be Solly, Dlulane or Floore
Cheers -
23 May 2006, 15:57 pmbluebarb, coloured? please i aint coloured… i am light brown, bliksem is pink and suparugby is cream (not white)
23 May 2006, 15:58 pmbliksem jy is bosvark
23 May 2006, 15:59 pmi see onlooker's quota comment of the day has arrived…
23 May 2006, 16:00 pmNo Bliksem As you saw at the end I said SIS. Are you mad – I might consider a kiss but thats that.
Once when I was 18 at this house party I got some action with this chick – she gave a lekker BJ and I ficished off in her mouth. About a hour later she was pulling some other oke. This other oke happend to be the biggest arse hole at School. It was so funny
23 May 2006, 16:00 pmHulle was bang om Luke in die span te sit netnou laat hy jake soos n poepol lyk…
23 May 2006, 16:05 pmfuzzy 67,
I am not Afrikaans but must say that it is a much more expressive language than English and a hell of allot more enjoyable in general conversation.
When it comes to the business language of Afrikaans I get lost though I must admit.
However, superugby made you nothing more than a fuzzyass.
23 May 2006, 16:07 pmwpw,
dude, i have serious doubts about anybody in this country being pure white. -
23 May 2006, 16:09 pmonlooker,
why dont you show luke the way, buddy. and stay there. -
23 May 2006, 16:13 pmSebastian Chabal will dismantle the Boks.
23 May 2006, 16:18 pmwasnt it supposed to be a game where white looks at the overseas boks like sowerby & boer and the supporters hopefuls like watson and schalk brits?
23 May 2006, 16:25 pmongelukkig sal watson en brits altyd "hopefulls" bly. As jake hulle nie nou terwyl hulle op vorm is in die sqaud van 45 kan kies nie, sal hy hulle nooit kies nie! Sad, but true
23 May 2006, 16:32 pmSo what happens if the World XV beats the boks???
I mean if we lose against them then the international season will be a failure!
..I suppose that's why tappe is ref. so he can
help the boks out or something…just incase! -
23 May 2006, 16:37 pmCould Nick Mallet possibly be more of a chop? Would not release him for this game. What a toss ******. A great experience for Luke and he won't release him. No respect left for Mallet.
23 May 2006, 16:41 pmIts not exactly the greatest world fifteen ever…we should and i use should loosely thrash this team, but then again we should thrash most and don't…come on bokke.
23 May 2006, 16:53 pmStormer, I was wondering the same thing. Apparently Mallet needs him for WP (presumably for the CC). But how would letting him go for one, even both World XV games, influence WP's CC preperation? Sounds like a bit of a power game to me.
23 May 2006, 16:55 pmThe inability to see things for what they are has always hampered the wider section of S African public, alas, rugby is no exception.
If you talk rugby proper, then Luke and Schalk Brits belong to the 45 Boks squad, if you talk 'transformation' rugby, then I am afraid it Shimanga and Solly T. who belonged
Simple? -
23 May 2006, 16:55 pmTrue we should run away with this one & I trust/pray that Jake will keep is 1st choice players on for a minimal amount of time to avoid more injuries which we definitely can't afford.
Tuff Titties for Luke & Brits..get over it people! They'll get there chance.. just not now!
23 May 2006, 16:59 pmyes you are simple onlooker
23 May 2006, 17:03 pmmallett is a bloody chop.
i wonder why he wouldn't release luke, it could have been good exposure for the player and wp.
would have been nice to see luke vs schalk
we should have a bok team vs the bok rejects team, i think it would make some interesting viewing and could possibly show up a few of jakes 1st xv.
23 May 2006, 17:04 pmonlooker is one sad individual. it is a part of sa rugby, i would love to see luke in the squad ahead of Solly and i aint white. at the end of the day we will just have to accpet it. Also, it is unfortunate that certain ppl have to pay for the sins of their fathers but there is absolutely nothing we can do about it…
While i was at school i never had the same education like most white okes at that time. Do you see me moaning or complaining about it? Get on with you life onlooker, you really are obsessed with colour and quotas…
23 May 2006, 17:06 pmYeah I think you're right Katman. Trying to show Luke who's boss. It really irks me. These are once in a life time opportunities.
23 May 2006, 17:55 pmIt is all a massive conspiracy!
Probably an order from Jake White as he didn't want his pretty boys getting stuffed up by a determined Luke Watson!
He should just pack his bags and go where he is appreciated as a fine rugby player.
23 May 2006, 18:10 pmnick mallet is either a d@@s or jw's *****… either way he sucks!!! woulda loved to see luke in company of those greats and see how his workrate kills the boks and make jake eat his words… who knows he may even catch a ball in the lineouts…
23 May 2006, 19:50 pmwpw,
I agree, life aren't a fair chance, but here we talk rugby.
Prejudice always prevailed in SA rugby, just as the classes system prevailed in England rugby, there is nothing we can do about it.
World class players such as Rob Lowe, Andrew Aitken, Gary Teichman and Joel Stransky never played the number of Tests that some lesser players played because they were English speaking blokes, sadly enough. -
23 May 2006, 19:51 pmnah, stransky and aitken was justnot good enogh and the other damn unlucky…
23 May 2006, 21:37 pmWhat a **** squad. A bunch of yesterday's heroes. Not one of those guys would make his current national team. Really, a mismatch. Boks will destroy this team.
They're coming over for the sunshine and the pounds.
That team five years ago. YES. Not today.
23 May 2006, 21:58 pmOnlooker
I thought Rob Lowe decided to play League along with Ray Mordt. Being english speaking had nothing to do with it.Keo
Does it matter? They'll at least show us how beautiful the game can be when played by talented experts for the sheer joy of it.
It might even encourage our guys to relax and express their own talents. Currently the majority of our teams are playing as if they were severely constipated. -
23 May 2006, 23:01 pmI have been watching Luke Wayson play for the Stormers during the S14.
If he was living in NZ or Aus I am sure he would be called in.
It's a pitty that talent like he's is not recognised in SA. -
23 May 2006, 23:03 pmWhere's Rupeni Caucau? Has anyone seen this guy playing recently, is he still as good as he was when playing Super 12 for the Blues?
24 May 2006, 05:12 amNo Caucaunibuca either! Was looking forward to seeing him and Chavhanga square off on the wings, would have been something special watching those two speed merchants.
24 May 2006, 05:22 amIn the land of 0Z they play FOOTBALL, they play it from coast to coast and state to state, they play it summer winter or spring wherever there is a park.
People from all over the world, come to see a game, thinking that it must be the same, as they used to play, only to find, with some dismay, that the game in mind was of a different kind than that on disply.You would think by now, the the stupid 0zzie pricks would know the difference between one shaped ball or another and call the games by name.
This calling ball games by the generic use of FOOTBALL must cease!, learn the names of the games you silly stupid w@nking chain dragging powder puff poofters. -
24 May 2006, 05:25 amTrue Keo.But these guys are'nt has beens.Most of 'em are still playing competitive rugby.
They should teach our youngsters a thing or two.
24 May 2006, 07:20 amUh Keo
If Jake ain't gonna let his Boks into our very own domestic league,what chance any other coach is gonna let his players fly South for a bit of sunshine and a wad of pounds?????
24 May 2006, 07:27 amI reckon Jake would have crapped himself if Luke played,after all what better way into the squad than taking out your rivals personally!!!
24 May 2006, 07:37 amWhat would've been really nice is if Watson played and Dwyer used him as a lineout option. Egg on the face comes to mind.

24 May 2006, 10:21 amJake obviously leaned on Mallet (offered him Percy for old times sake).
Can't have the poverty of his loose forward selections and thinking shown up…
24 May 2006, 12:25 pmfor those of you who think watson is not worth his chance i think you know nothing about the game tho you are entitled to your opinion however poor it is
if its true that mallet did not let him go then i think mallet and white have got together tho i wish i am proved wrong
its off putting when you listen to the **** that we have to put up with like chosing players on form and those who add value when you can take half the 45 and find another half who played well in the super 14 and have found no place ahead of those players not performing
whats happening in the game -

Stop whingeing the kid didn't get picked so what. Watsons problem is that he has made a rod for his own back, he must engage his brain before he engages his vocal cords. In SA rugby mag he pipes up that JW will pick him! he then states that he will be playing for the world XV on 3 June. Quite frankly if I was a coach I wouldn't pick him because he'd probably start telling me how to do my job!
I could not give a **** about his relationship with his God or his views on politics or what his daddy did back in ancient history. Luke Watson needs to shut the **** up nobody cares about his life views the only issue that is pertinent to the matter is whether or not he can play rugby. Harsh words? Yes but why not he is the one who usually does the chatter it's time somebody gave him a taste of his own medicine.
The fact that he has not being picked reflects poorly only upon himself and definitely not the selectors, JW or Nick Mallett.
My advice to the young buck is shut your ******* mouth start training don't claim to be humble actually practice a bit of humility and for christs sake get those watermelons out from under your arms. Then with a bit of luck and hard work you could become a great springbok. -
24 May 2006, 15:23 pmmy view on Watson and JW is that JW only selects people that will listen to him and that he believes will fit in the squad to make one big happy family. Watson is clearly a highly vocal outspoken lad that the sight of and sound of his voice is enough to irritate jW to the point of shitting in his pants! JW will never select Watson even if he collects the best stats for lineout jumping next year!!!!

query_posts help
Hey there,
I need some advice. I'm not sure if this the correct way I should be using query_posts but here goes.
Whenever I submit a post under the category uevent it posts the title over in the sidebar. I did this by using <?php query_posts('cat=-4'); ?> in the main loop(i think it's called) so it doesn't get posted there at all. And I put this in my sidebar <?php query_posts('cat=4&showposts=5'); ?>
So it lists the title of the 5 most recent posts filed in the uevent category.
It works great, but I've tried to wrap a div around that query but it doesn't work. When I check the source the div gets placed before the query.
I try this:

<?php query_posts('cat=4&showposts=5'); ?>
This is the output:[b]

[/b]
testing 123
For me to add a div or a class do I need to feed it as an argument into that function?
Hope you understand what I mean.
TIA!Problem is resolved now. It was just me being silly.
I should of wrapped this instead:

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<a href=\"<?php the_permalink() ?>\"><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endwhile;?>

well done, sometimes we find our own answers after asking questions, I used to do that in a java forum

Doug Collins trying to stay positive amid Sixers' slump
PHILADELPHIA — Anybody who says the Sixers' spirits are down clearly hasn't seen Spencer Hawes riding a Segway.
There's no denying that losses breed disappointment and, in the first half of their season, the Sixers have experienced their share of both. However, Sixers coach Doug Collins said it's not in his team's best interests to wave a white flag and curl up into the fetal position.
Not with the Sixers' next eight at home giving a chance at a turnaround. Not with the division-leading New York Knicks in town tonight.
"We've just got to put together 48 minutes," Collins said Friday, following the team's practice at PCOM. "I think we've played some good stretches. I think our guys are engaged. They've been alert in practice. We've had two very good practices. Our energy is good. Our spirit is good. I think anybody who would think different of that would be wrong.
"Our guys continue to fight. We've just got to taste winning."
The Sixers (17-25) didn't look the part of a team that has lost 19 of 26 games and is (still) missing its star center. They were smiling, goofing around at practice. They joked around with point guard Jrue Holiday, who a night earlier was named a reserve for the Eastern Conference All-Star team.
Afterward, Hawes even rolled onto the hardwood on the Segway. Fun stuff, but winning is fun, too.
"I want to win — hands down," Holiday said. "I love to win. The time is now. We do have to do it now, especially before the all-star break where we have a couple weeks left and get some momentum going into that. I remember last year, maybe we were in Houston and we put a little streak together. From there, everything came together and we made the playoffs and did what we did. We need to make a push now."
Their ambitions are pure, though the challenge before the Sixers is rigorous.
Four of those eight straight home games are against winning teams, including the Knicks, who expect to have point guard Raymond Felton back from a broken finger that's sidelined him since Christmas. The second-highest-scoring team in the East, the Knicks are averaging 101 points per game, which is right around the 102 per-game average the Sixers have allowed their last 10 times out. Continued...
"Look, Boston is 20-22. The difference in records is they had a six-game winning streak, and we have had a one-game winning streak since Nov. 30," Collins said. "At some point in time, if you're going to start fighting for that spot — and it might not be Boston, but they're the team right now that's (directly) in front of you — you've got to start winning some games and putting some together.
"It doesn't have to be five in a row, but can you get four out of six? Can you start building toward something? And we haven't done that since our 10-6 start."
Before firing up the Segway, Hawes ran with the starters for the second straight day of practice. His renewed play, coupled with the lackluster showings from Lavoy Allen, could lead to Hawes' first start of the season.
"We'll see tomorrow," Hawes said. "My lips are sealed."
l l l
Seems like every day Andrew Bynum is ramping up his rehab.
Friday, the recovering center was well removed from the stationary shooting drills of a week ago. Bynum was taking passes in the chest from 10 feet and working on one-dribble, turnaround shots in the paint.
Watching Bynum work out, Holiday said he couldn't help but think how differently the first half of his season would've been had Bynum not missed it with bilateral knee bone bruises.
"Maybe my assists would've went up and my scoring would've went down," Holiday said. "He attracts so much attention inside, offensively and defensively. He's, like, eight feet tall. It's not like you can take your eyes off of him."
l l l Continued...
Jason Richardson expects to miss tonight's game, his third in a row, with a nagging left knee injury.
The shooting guard, who ruled himself unavailable, said he first started feeling pain Jan. 12 against Houston but tried to "fight through it." While the swelling is down, he said he still feels pain.
"Me being out there now would hurt the team more than help it because I can't run, can't get my leg to turn over," Richardson said. "Maybe it's best for me to sit down. … I think they ruled me out. Just trying to get it healthy. Doesn't make sense for me to go at 40, 50 percent."
Like Richardson, Nick Young was a non-participant in practice. Collins said Young's hip was sore.

The Question
Expert Answers (1)

khaled, type 2 diabetes can affect your vision. uncontrolled blood sugar can lead to damage of the blood vessels in your eyes and actually cause them to burst. this is called diabetic retinopathy and if it gets bad enough, could lead to blindness. the best way to avoid this problem is to keep your blood sugar under control and seeing your eye doctor at least once a year for a full eye exam. thanks for bringing your question to dlife.

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes because of a change in my vision, but the usual change is a marked deterioration. In my case my vision had improved over a period of time until I no longer needed glasses. My doctor was suspicious, tested my blood and found I had diabetes. I went on a diabetic diet, got my blood sugar under control, and within one week my vision went back to the worst it had ever been. That was traumatic. Over the ensuing years my vision has slowly improved but not as good as it was. I have talked to an ophthalmologist, but he was unable to explain how diabetes improved my vision so much.

Yes, T2 diabetes affects your vision. A few months after I was diagnosed, at my next eye exam, my glasses prescription was reduced in strength because, with better blood glucose control, the inflammation in my eyes was reduced. Since then, I notice that when I have been letting my sugars get high, my vision tends to get a little blurry until I get my control re-established.

Collection of modern, minimalist, and eco friendly architectural design for your home inspiration
The MVRDV architects from Netherland has completed an apartment design project in Amsterdam. They picked an open design to build the whole apartment by using minimal amount of materials used, glass, steel and concrete, results in maximum openness for the façade.
The apartment occupies a large area of 6000 square meter which contains 46 apartments and a day-care center. Each apartment has a balcony of varying depths which stretch as bands along the entire facade, offering varied outside spaces and views over the western docklands of Amsterdam.
Started as a project in 2004, the Westerdok apartment is currently one of the nominees for the Amsterdam Architecture Award. The urban plan is a closed city block with buildings of differing heights surrounding a central court. After two earlier urban plans failed, the client O.M.A. (Ontwikkelings Maatschappij Apeldoorn) has in fact determined the current urban plan. The MVRDV building is located inside the court with one façade facing the waterfront of the Westerdok.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

After it was introduced in the middle of the last century, the TV set remained basically unchanged for decades.
While there were minor design variations along the way, it wasn't until flat-panel plasma and LCD sets arrived that manufacturers finally gave us a new take on the tired old tube.
At first, sky-high prices made plasma TVs a symbol of wealth and status (no self-respecting rapper would let an MTV camera crew enter his crib unless there was one hanging on the wall), but costs for both plasma and LCD models have since come crashing down to real-world levels. And given their sleek, space-saving form factor, you'd be crazy not to consider one when shopping for a new TV.
It turns out that people are doing just that. About half the respondents to a recent Consumer Electronics Association survey said their next TV purchase will be a flat-panel display. Consumer confusion has actually helped the boom, since other surveys indicate that a lot of people believe that all HDTVs are flat-panels.
With interest in thin TVs surging, now's a good time to peer into the future and find out what technologies will be surfacing over the next few years to challenge plasma and LCD.
