webmail is using the 'wrong' email .. :(
I've installed the UebiMiau package for webmail and everything looks great but one thing.. When sending an email UebiMiau uses the web##_user@domain adress instead of the correct user@domain
Is there a way to change this anywhere? |
Ah, thanks, found it.
Is there a way of changing the default?? I can't tell my customers to change that setting in the webmail. :confused: |

Gilded Chainlink Headband
We're sorry. This product is no longer available.
- Style #: 28437697
Rated 4 out of 5 by jadspokane It's gorgeous on!
I bought this for my 13 year old daughter who has the chestnut/gold-infused/red, long hair. (The red where women constantly stop her and tell her they wish they could get that color in a bottle... THAT "red".) She wears this with her hair down, and also in a pony. The girls at school went nuts. (Granted, they have to wear uniforms, so the importance of hair accessories become a bit exaggerated.) Everyone wanted to know where she found it, can they wear it, can they have one? It's comfortable on her head, and it really does look quite fabulous. Only con is that one of the strands broke BEFORE she wore it. I stitched it back in with strong thread. Hoping it holds...

You don't think he realizes he needs to work on shooting his free throws?
Maybe i'm not remembering right, but didn't his free throw shooting get better later in the season. I just remember watching him making more of them late in the season.
I'm sure he does. Whatever he's been doing isn't working. Maybe thinking about trigonometry and the physics of ballistics will help clear his mind while he's setting up...
I will admit Epic Humor Fail.

Jean-Louis Teyssie presents "Biodiversity at our feet" till october 22th
Jean-Louis Teyssié practices in the laboratories of the environment of an international organisation based in Monaco. Radioecologist, communications manager, photographer, journalist, designer, aquatic investment manager, he is a self-taught man with a love of the water.
He travels up rivers and canyons from the South of France to photograph the expressions of life in centimetres of fresh water.
Every entity alive has had a role in the balance of the ecosystems in fresh water for millions of years. This importance has been threatened for hundreds of years by our industrial, domestic, and tourist activities.
The biodiversity at our feet is in danger.
If particles disappear from our waterfalls, the water from rivers will not be filtered anymore and clean tap water will become more expensive.
Jean Louis Teyssié displays an extract of his underwater photographic work. Better know biodiversity in the feet of our rivers; it is better to protect it.

Question from Golcar_Yagami
Asked: 1 year ago
Where can I find the last file in the Yamanote Line?
I see the marker on the map, but I can't see it anywhere, nor do I know how to reach it... It's supposedly behind a train car...
Accepted Answer
From: MalboroMaster 1 year ago
The file you are speaking of is probably on the overpass above said train. To get on it, you need to find a train with a hill behind it. If you climb up the hill, you will eventually find a path up to an overpass.

As a company we look to be responsible in all that we do, from the recycling programme in our UK office to carbon offsetting all flights for staff and passengers to supporting charitable projects around the world. This commitment to being responsible relies on the support and engagement of every individual who works in the Explore family; office staff, agents, tour leaders and guides. When it comes to finding worthwhile causes and initiatives overseas, it is our tour leaders and agents who have the passion and knowledge to find the projects that really make a difference.
In 2012 we wanted to help our leaders support the causes that they feel strongly about, so we ran the 'Responsible Tourism Project Competition'. This was open to all tour leaders and agents around the world and allowed them to nominate a project, charity or initiative that they felt deserved our support. The winning project was given £1,000 and two runners up were given £500 each. We also looked to find ways to incorporate these with our tours to ensure we continue to contribute to these great causes.
Kathmandu Circus was a runner up and received £500. The circus is comprised of hugely talented young people who have been rescued from human trafficking and other vulnerable situations. Many of its members have been retrieved from Indian circuses where they were illegally sold as young children. They trained hard as performers, often learning skills to a very high standard, but usually missed out on other education.

| Printing XPS document I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I can't print an XPS document in Firefox. I can print it in IE8. Anyone else have this problem and if not what do I have to do to correct it? I'm using FireFox 3.5.6 |

18 Dec 2009 | #2 |
| Have you tried to download the file to your PC with Firefox and then open it with IE? I know this isn't a solution but it's a workaround until someone comes along with better advice. Also, give THIS SITE a try. You may find some additional information or resources that are helpful. |
My System Specs |
18 Dec 2009 | #3 |
| So after doing some further investigation online I see that Firefox is simply incapable of reading XPS docs. I also do not see any available plugins that will assist you so it appears that you are SOL for now. IE or the XPS Reader are your best options in my opinion. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. |

18 Dec 2009 | #5 |
| Right, you could also just download the file and use the XPS printer to print it. |
My System Specs |
18 Dec 2009 | #6 |
| I can only get XPS documents to read using XPS viewer which is the MS pictures viewer, I believe. What's espcially annoying is that no copy and pasting is allowed. Have tried using other programs like Notepad, Works word, etc. to open XPS but they won't. Any suggestions? |
My System Specs |
19 Dec 2009 | #7 |
| Well XPS is what was meant to be like a pdf alternative and as with pdf files, they're not really edit-able. No native applications in windows will edit an xps file as far as I know, of course I know very little, but a third party app like NIXPS will allow you to edit those files. That app can be found here: NiXPS I've not tested this app yet, so let us know how it works out. |

Singer and actress Jennifer Hudson is a fan of Obamacare and the TV show "Scandal"–so she shot a humorous video for the website "Funny or Die" that's a mash-up of both.
At a screening last night in New York City of her new drama "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete," Hudson told Speakeasy her aim in making the clip was to help promote awareness about Obamacare aka the Affordable Care Act.
So what does she think about the government shutdown in the wake of Republican efforts to defund Obamacare?
"I just hope they come to a deal," Hudson said.
"The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete" opens on Oct 11.
Watch Hudson's clip from "Funny or Die." Read More »
In the shadow of the government shutdown, talk show host and prankster Jimmy Kimmel dispatched camera crews to ask people on the street about the differences between the Affordable Care Act and "Obamacare."
Even though the two names refer to the same heath care program, some of the people interviewed believed they were different plans and tended to be adamant in their support of one over the other.
Watch the clip after the jump. Read More »
Shortly before the federal government shut down in the wake of a Republican effort to delay Obamacare, Fox News personality Bill O'Reilly paid a visit to "The Daily Show" to talk politics with Jon Stewart. Oh yeah, O'Reilly was also plugging a new book. Watch the clips from the show. Read More »
With the government facing a possible shutdown as Republican lawmakers seek to defund Obamacare, and "Breaking Bad" heading for a definite shutdown after its series finale tonight, the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live" managed to have some fun with both. The host was SNL alumna Tina Fey and the musical guest was Arcade Fire, and several of the sketches put the spotlight on SNL's new class of cast members, an incredibly un-diverse bunch who didn't seem all that funny so far–making you wonder how hard the show searched to find them. Come on SNL–it's hard to make fun of America when your cast doesn't look much like America. There were some funny moments on the show, however, and a couple guest appearances from Aaron Paul of "Breaking Bad." Here are the best bits. Read More »
Dr. Seuss wasn't a real medical doctor, but given how much his name has come up in the debate over Obamacare you have to wonder what the late children's author might have thought of all the fuss. Republican Sen. Ted Cruz expressed his opposition to the new federal health-care law by standing for a speech on the Senate floor for more than 21 hours and, at one point, reading Dr. Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham." On "The Daily Show," comic Jon Stewart responded by reading his version of Dr. Seuss's "The Lorax," which he satirically retitled "The Bore-ax." Watch the clips. What do you think? Read More »
While Miley Cyrus was taking over the MTV Video Music Awards stage, dancing with a foam finger and Robin Thicke, President Obama's Twitter account was busily tweeting the likes of Katy Perry and Jason Derulo, both of whom came out in support of Obamacare.
The presidential exchanges with the "Roar" singer began Sunday when Perry's account re-tweeted a tweet from Obama's account to her 41 million followers.
Thanks for spreading the word. #ROAR MT @katyperry: RT @BarackObama: Get affordable coverage starting Oct. 1 http://t.co/1zEA5K9Ebl
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) August 26, 2013

What was health care like in the "good old days"? And what was the government's role? Today to relieve the taxpayer from the obligation to pay the hospital costs for the uninsured, the country is preparing for "Obamacare," a mandate for everyone to have health insurance.
Before the 20th century, people did not bother with health insurance nor did they voluntarily go into a hospital, a source of infection and death. Only sailors had a mandate to pay into a federal program for medical care. The poorest, the homeless, those lacking social support like the sailors, were condemned to hospitals where doctors volunteered their services in return for the prestige of the appointment. Hand-washing was not expected and the results were deadly. Read More »
After yesterday's decision by the Supreme Court to uphold most of President Barack Obama's health-care law, Jon Stewart poked fun at some of the media coverage on his "Daily Show" last night.

Maria von Trapp, last surviving member of the original Trapp Family Singers, the group made famous by "The Sound of Music," passed away at the age of 99. Singer Sofia von Trapp remembers her "great aunt Maria."
A day after being whipped by Cossacks while filming a protest video at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, the anarcho-feminist performance art group released the video of their new song: "Putin Will Teach You How to Love."
Maybe President Obama is fed up with Congress—but American television viewers are not. "House of Cards" is back and it's one of a number of fictional shows that grapple with the reality of politics.
Naked stand-ins aren't rare in the movie business, but for a racy movie like "Nymphomaniac," they are akin to the indispensable stuntmen who carry the most intense scenes in action flicks. One body double tells her story.
Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman has gotten more attention for his mouth than his play. He's part of a very American tradition of braggadocio. But when does swagger become poor sportsmanship?

Definition of proventriculus in English:
Line breaks: pro|ven¦tricu|lusPronunciation: /ˌprəʊvɛnˈtrɪkjʊləs
( plural proventriculi)
Zoology - 1The narrow glandular first region of a bird's stomach between the crop and the gizzard.More example sentences
- The proventriculus and gizzard are small, and the lower esophagus is sacculated, which delays passage of particles into the lower gut where additional fermentation occurs in the paired ceca.
- Ingesta from the proventriculus and gizzard were preserved in 75% alcohol and examined under a dissecting scope.
- Parents sustain themselves during incubation on energy stored as body fat and lipid-rich stomach oil in the proventriculus.
- 1.1The thick-walled muscular expansion of the oesophagus above the stomach of crustaceans and insects.More example sentences
- Enhanced levels of expression are seen in older embryos adjacent to the segmental involutions (C, arrowheads) and in the salivary glands, proventriculus, and somatic musculature.
- Four tunnels off the lumen of the proventriculus of the carpenter bee, Xylocopa virginica virginica, have been discovered.
- The proventriculus of the worker honeybee is an organ which effects a highly efficient separation of pollen grains from the medium in which they are suspended.
mid 19th century: from pro-2 'before' + Latin ventriculus 'small belly', diminutive of venter, ventr- 'belly'.

I'd agree that film storage would, in practice, attract extra costs for monitoring, security, temperature, etc., as you suggest, to make the best of the permanence.
But, surely, digital media would attract similar costs, even ignoring the lack of permanance (what's the life of a CD or a hard drive?) and the obsolescence of the media.
The business where I worked 15 years ago used Zip Drives for data storage...the present boss told me recently that they now have no means of reading the disks. Fortunately the records are obsolete and no longer needed, otherwise it would have been a major and expensive task to bring it forward onto more modern media.

Beantown Bed & Biscuit is a luxury interactive daycare, overnight boarding and walking service for your dog. Founded on the principal that a tired dog is a happy dog, we strive to provide a fun and stimulating environment that will quickly become your dog's home away from home.
Durty Harry's is home base for canine-human bonding sessions based on an interspecies passion for four-legged hygiene and flower-scented soap. The grooming specialists and fur refurbishers tend to mutts of all stripes, but today's Groupon gives you the tools to do the work on your own. Bring your pooch into the store, and you'll get shampoo and conditioner to restore the breezy shine of a puppy's fur coat or the paisley patterns common among modest breeds wearing pants. After you've treated your tailed companion to a soothing bath in a pup-size tub, the friendly staff at Durty Harry's will hook you up with brushes, a blow dryer, and a towel so that you can give your dog the fluffy finish she's been begging for with her eyes. Durty Harry's will clean the tub, so you're free to go until the next under-the-paws scrub down.
Back Bay Dog Walking's canine caretakers lend a helping hand to busy pet owners within Boston city limits by providing services designed to exercise and entertain four-legged friends seven days a week. Parents of new puppies up to 6 months of age can rest easy knowing their babies are being taken care of during the day with the puppy program, where an experienced sitter provides three walks throughout the day as well as a midday meal. Meanwhile, play groups provide energetic pooches the chance to spend a full hour romping around a fenced-in dog park with like-minded mutts.
Boston Phoenix and Boston Magazine both agree that the off-leash adventures led by Doggie Daytrippers are an upgrade from leaving pups at home. The rationale behind the unique form of doggy daycare? A tired dog is a happy dog. Tiring activities look a bit different for each dog, which is why doggy field trips involve swimming and snowshoeing at local parks and beaches, whereas daycare includes hours of open play at each pooch's pace. Dogs can also pal around with new friends if owners sign them up for a city hike, which means two hours at a nearby dog park, including pickup and drop off at home.
When on vacation, sometimes all you want to do—after taking a dip in a heated indoor pool and receiving a reiki massage—is call your room and order up some kibble.

It would be entirely too easy and more than a bit cliché to say Saturday night's game against Wisconsin wasn't a fair 5-on-5 Big Ten battle.
Who cares?
On the 20th anniversary of the passing of Chris Street the Hawks fed off the emotions of the evening to hand the Badgers (13-5, 4-1) a 70-66 setback..
"There was an energy level in the building like I've never seen before," Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.
Street lost his life on January 19, 1993 in an accident east of Iowa City after pulling out in front of a Johnson County snow plow on a bitterly cold, stormy winter evening. On Saturday every member of the Iowa team warmed up wearing special shirts as a tribute to the Indianola native and wore his intials and uniform number on a patch. Longtime Iowa basketball aide Jerry Strom draped Street's gold No. 40 jersey over the first chair on the team's bench. The evening's halftime program was built around honoring his memory as nearly half of the Iowa players to have won the Chris Street Award joined the Street family on the Carver-Hawkeye court following a short but poignant video tribute.
"It is a big night for us," Mike Street said prior to Iowa improving to 13-5 overall and 2-3 in Big Ten play. "We certainly appreciate what the university has done and what the fans have done. Without the fans, it probably doesn't happen, either."
The Hawks fed off the energy of a packed house to build a 34-18 lead at the half then held on in a roller coaster final 20 minute period.
"Looking at the percentages," said Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan, "we didn't do anything to discourage Iowa in the first 30 minutes."
The final 10 were another story.
Wisconsin methodically chipped away at Iowa's double digit lead until Devyn Marble nailed a clutch three-point attempt with 2:36 left to play to give the Hawks the shallowest amount of breathing room with a 60-51 lead. The shake-and-bake triple was in the cards all along according to Marble, who out-thought Ryan Evans in the process.
"He was expecting me to drive on him because he had four fouls," Marble said. "I always think every shot is going in."
A three-pointer by Wisconsin's George Marshall with 24 seconds left to play made it 66-63 but Marble and Aaron White each hit two free throws to ice the victory.
"Whitey's great at getting to the line and putting guys in a tough spot," said Eric May, who grabbed 5 of Iowa's 33 rebounds in 25 minutes of play.
White finished with 17 points to lead the Hawks in scoring. Marble had 13 with freshmen guards Mike Gesell and Anthony Clemmons adding 11 and 10, respectively.
"I think the great thing is you never know which four it's going to be (on a given night) and that's the beauty of our team," McCaffery said. "It could easily have been Zach (McCabe) and Melsahn or Josh (Oglseby)."
Marshall led all scorers with 20 points in 15 minutes, shooting 7-of-10 from the floor. Sam Dekker was the only other Badger to crack double figures with 13.
Facing a short turnaround, Iowa must now ready itself to face Ohio State in Columbus Tuesday evening. The Buckeyes lost to Michigan State on Saturday and will likely be loaded for bear when Iowa comes calling at Value City Arena.
"They cleaned our clocks the last two times we played them," McCaffery said.

I think this game needs to be analyzed from two angles. First, from a purely basketball perspective, this was a very big win for this team. Iowa had already hosted two upper-tier B1G teams this year, and dropped heartbreakers in each one. This was definitely a bit of a breakthrough win in that regard. Also, heading into Tuesday's game in Columbus, Iowa can be no worse than 2-4 after an extremely tough gauntlet to begin the conference slate. I honestly thought 1-5 wouldn't be the end of the world, as the schedule lightens up a bit in the final 12 games of conference play, so 2-4 would be great. And, obviously, there's still the potential to be 3-3.
This team played with a maniacal effort tonight, which is what Iowa will need every night in B1G play. But just playing with great effort isn't always enough - you also have to be very aggressive and confident on both ends of the floor, and I thought Iowa was tonight. Getting to the majority of the loose balls, taking the ball to the basket whenever possible, running the floor in transition, getting in the passing lanes on defense, rotating to help out on defense, etc. Iowa can play with anyone in the conference when it plays with that level of intensity and aggressiveness on both ends of the court. That's not easy to do, but the players should have proof that it's possible.
Marble's three after Wisconsin had cut it to six was enormous. How he continues to develop will likely determine, in large part, whether or not Iowa can make the Big Dance. There will be a lot of games that come down to the last minute from here on out, and he's Iowa's best player at creating his own shot on offense.
I love watching Clemmons play. He really reminds me a lot of Aaron Craft, Ohio State's starting point guard. Not necessarily great shooters, but they're capable of hitting big shots, very good passers, bring a ton of energy to the game, excellent defenders, both very tough and scrappy kids that excelled as high school football players, and they both do whatever it takes to win the game. I definitely think he was a steal for the Hawkeyes, and it's exciting to think he's only a freshman.
This really was a total team effort, as everyone brought it for 40 minutes and chipped in with big plays when they were on the floor.
The other angle to analyze this game from is that it came on the night where the Hawkeyes were honoring Chris Street. As I mentioned above, Iowa couldn't have played much harder tonight, and couldn't have been much more aggressive or fearless. To do that for a full 40 minutes in front of a raucous crowd in a hard-fought win against an upper-tier B1G opponent - not sure there could have been a better way to honor Street. And I thought it was fitting that the game didn't end up being a blowout. For as well as Iowa played, Wisconsin buckled down on defense and hit some huge shots on offense, and made the Hawkeyes earn it. And Iowa responded to the adversity it faced and did just that, showing the same fighting and relentless spirit that Street was known for.

GW abstinence speech was religious dogma
Since when did George Washington High School in Kanawha County become a Christian Academy? A so-called "sex education" assembly at GW had nothing to do with sex education, but with moral values.
Students at GW are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and nonreligious. They don't need one set of church values imposed on them.
The warning that "any type of sex will guarantee the contraction of a sexually transmitted disease or an unwanted pregnancy" was clearly a value statement. GW Principal George Aulenbacher actually said: "The only way to guarantee safety is abstinence."
No doubt the same teachers who teach this nonsense also are adamant opponents of abortion. Those of us who truly respect the intelligence of teenagers know that the full truth and all of its consequences are what sex education is really about. If we truly want to prevent unwanted pregnancy and abortions, we would provide that education to our children.
Throughout their lives, these young people will be called upon to make moral decisions. Education in a free society should be about information. As a result of that information, individuals make their own decisions based on their personal values.
Aulenbacher said the assembly was paid for by private donors but wouldn't reveal the cost. This clearly is a violation of the separation of church and state.
One of the most offensive remarks by this so-called sex education speaker was, "If you take birth-control pills, your mother probably hates you."

Imagine this; a cold February morning, it's 9am, you walk into a stream of long-faced, grey-clad, grumpy looking commuters. But you're grinning so hard your smile meets your ears, you feel powerful - like you can change the world - and you're scattering rainbows and glitter as you walk… Welcome to Psycle. But let's rewind. For the last year my incredible trainer and friend Tim Weeks has been nattering away on our 7am Hyde Park runs about his new project. A spinning gym. Yup… my sentiments exactly. Just what exactly is the point of sitting on a bike going nowhere with a bunch of sweaty lunatics doing the same as you're yelled at by a lycra loony who's more than a bit pleased with his earpiece/microphone. But I trust Tim. And then I went to LA - where spinning class SoulCycle is a big deal. Almost cultish. And again on a trip to New York, where the 'Soul' signs popped out at me in every neighbourhood. So last week when Psycle opened its London doors I dutifully but skeptically showed up. The Mortimer Street space is slick and filled with stuff to make you look and feel good; workout gear, beauty products by Ila and Mio, great showers, hair dryers, straighteners and post-work out juices by Pure Earth and food by The Detox Kitchen all devised by nutritionist Rhian Stephenson. Strap into weird cleated shoes (don't try walking down the stairs in them - like I did) so that your foot locks into the pedals (to create a push and pull resistance that means no bulking of thighs) and into a room lit like a nightclub. The Psycle class is a physical and spiritual trip. Trainers chosen for their charisma include an ex-Royal Ballet dancer, one of Cheryl Cole's backing dancers, and a GB gymnast, who deliver a full body workout with dance, meditative moments, unity with the group and a whopping endorphin rush that I haven't felt since my nightclub days. And all of this midweek, before 9am. I'm converted. www.psyclelondon.com Psycle London, 76 Mortimer Street, London, W1W 7SA Tel: 020 7637 8755 Psycle offered all Vanity Fair A-List subscribers the chance to win one of ten Psycle classes for two people.

Stanley J Seeger (1930-2011) wasn't a box-ticker when it came to collecting. It takes just one glimpse at next week's '1000 Ways of Seeing' sale at Sotheby's to discover how broadly his delight in curious objects stretched. The heir to a family timber and oil fortune, American born Seeger spent much of his days writing music and with his partner Christopher Cone lived at various times in Greece, England, Switzerland and on his 1930s Art Deco styled yacht 'Rosenkavalier'. As well as collecting Modern British Art, European paintings and a massive amount of works by Picasso (88 Piccaso's owned by Seeger were sold at Sotheby's in 1993), he would "collect anything". So next week's sale on view now at Sotheby's, includes a delicious spectrum of stuff; from Winston Churchill's armchair to Al Capone's cocktail shaker and Orson Welles' very-own annotated working copy of the 'Citizen Kane' script. And as architect and designer Sir Hugh Casson once wrote of Seeger, he was a man who 'regards the chic as a badge of insecurity and the conventional as a signal of surrender'. A lesson for life, not just for collecting. '1000 Ways of Seeing' - Sale 5th and 6th March 2014 www.sothebys.com
That LA-ish 'Health is Wealth' attitude continues to permeate these shores. And the latest spot to join the ranks is Roots & Bulbs on Thayer Street in Marylebone - a slick bar selling superfood smoothies, coconut water, organic takeaway meals and of course delicious cold pressed vegetable juices, (if you're hardcore go for G1, if your tooth's a little sweet try G3). The driving force behind Roots & Bulbs is Sarah Cadji who spent ten years working in finance, until she got ill in 2010. Exhausted, lethargic with doctors wanting to prescribe anti-depressants - Cadji began researching food. She tried a slew of rollercoaster diets, "Every professional wanted me to be extreme from going fully macrobiotic to eating meat four times a day," she explains. But the thing that seemed to work and make her feel better was none of the complicated crackpot diets, but simply juicing combined with a sensible way of eating. "I hate the word diet," she explains, "I wanted to bring a sustainable way of juicing and eating to Londoners with speedy lives." With the help and solid scientific knowledge of nutritionist Ian Marber, Sarah has delivered. "I want to make 'Healthy' cool," explains Cadji. And via Roots & Bulbs, she's well on her way. www.rootsandbulbs.com Roots & Bulbs, 5 Thayer Street, London W1

Denver Nuggets Mile High on Carmelo Anthony: 10 Things to do to Build Around Him
By Rich Kurtzman ,
The Nuggets announced Monday that they would not be trading the face of the franchise—the one and only Carmelo Anthony.
A high-ranking Denver official told ESPN's Chris Broussard Monday, "There is no way we are trading Carmelo Anthony. We're 100 percent certain of that."
For any Nuggets fan, whether it be a Denver diehard, or a Melo-era baby blue backer—this is settling news after the rumors that started to swirl that Anthony would be traded away if he didn't sign the three-year $65 Million contract extension.
ESPN broke the news as if it were from an official of the Nuggets, but it was merely the opinion of the Denver Post's Mark Kizla. (1)
Now that it's definite that he will be in Denver through at least 2011 (when he can opt out of his current deal), Melo needs some pieces to be placed around him.
Melo said Monday that he is very serious about accepting the team's contract extension, but he is still waiting to hear about the Nuggets' attempt to improve the frontcourt, according to a league source. (2)
And including that most glaring weakness, the Nuggets have a lot to do as a franchise to not only ensure he decides to stay with the franchise, but to also build around the star and towards Denver's first NBA title in a history that dates back nearly 35 years.
Most of the moves on this list are common sense and some are arguable. But there's no doubting that the Nuggets must work to make Anthony satisfied and work toward that ultimate goal.
(1) http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_15405631
(2) http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_15443721
Warkentien pulled one of the great moves in Nuggets history, at least within the last decade. He successfully traded an aged and still selfish Allen Iverson for Chauncey Billups, the hometown hero out of George Washington High School.
Warkentien also acquired J.R. Smith, Chris Andersen and was able to get Anthony to sign a contract extension once before. And while Smith is a matter for later in this piece, his work landed Warkentien the NBA Executive of the Year Award in 2008-09.
Mark Warkentien isn't currently signed on with the Nuggets to continue as his role as the team's GM, although it would benefit them to get his John Hancock on a contract extension of his own.
He's shown in the past that he can swing a blockbuster deal, and Denver will need his dealing skills if they want to build a competitor around Melo.
Once Warkentien is inked, the Nuggets have to do the same with Chauncey Billups.
Billups' contract only continues through 2011 currently, the same year Carmelo Anthony and Nene can exercise their player option to opt out, and it's when Kenyon Martin's deal is done as well.
Basically, this could be the final year of the current group that made it to the Western Conference Finals a year ago will be together.
But beyond the present and despite his 34-year old age, Billups showed this past season that he can still play.
He was the only player in NBA history to score a career-high in his 13th season, and even though he folded under the immense pressure to lead the team sans George Karl in the playoffs, Billups is the proven leader on the court.
Melo is learning and continues to improve, but Billups unquestionably leads by example and by instruction.
It may seem like a lot to pay a 35-year old point guard $14 million in 2011-12, but even if the season is played and not locked out, Billups will continue to prove his worth.
On top of it all, Billups and Anthony have a wonderful chemistry and Billups won a title in 2004 with the Detroit Pistons—a place Melo wants to be himself.
J.R. Smith left a sour taste in any Nuggets fan's mouth when as he pouted and shoulder shrugged off the biggest game of Denver's season, and the eventual last as they lost to the Utah Jazz 4-2.
Smith is one of the most physically gifted players in the NBA, but his play is so frustrating it will make a viewer want to turn the TV off. Smith hoists three-pointers from 30-plus feet away as if he doesn't realize they count the same from one inch behind the line as from 10 feet beyond it.
J.R. often reaches in for steals he has no chance of swiping, fouls dumbly on break always to the hoop, ball-hogs too much when the second team is on the floor and has proven he's a liability when passing or handling the ball.
For all the times that Smith, the Nuggets' all-time leader in threes, has brought Denver back off the bench with explosive shooting performances, there are two times he's failed to make the simple play.
What the Nuggets can get for him is the question, and he may be best as an add-on of another deal the franchise tries to swing during this offseason.
With Smith gone, and Arron Afflalo on the Pepsi Center hardwood as the starter at shooting guard, the Nuggets will need a new backup at the position.
While it may seem somewhat unlikely, adding Ray Allen would be a prime piece to the Nuggets championship puzzle. While he wouldn't push them over the top, Allen could start at the two, meaning Afflalo could come off the bench to provide energy, and Allen would be Denver's main outside threat.
If not him, there was news recently that Linas Kleiza, whose NBA rights are still owned by the Nuggets, has interest in rejoining the Association.
Although, Denver put out a $2.6 Million tender, and Kleiza earned $6.0 Million overseas with Greece's Olympiakos, and the small forward that could play two as well wants big money again.
If not him, Roger Mason J.R. could be a nice addition to the Nuggets.
It's unclear who they would go get, but Denver would have to add someone to fill that role.
Malik Allen was an experiment that didn't work out for the Nuggets.
No knock on the guy personally, he gave good effort and played with heart at times, but Allen is not working for the Nuggets and they would be better off just cutting him loose and looking for someone younger and bigger to fill his shoes.
Anthony Carter was the Nuggets' best perimeter defender, around three years ago.
George Karl defended the older point guard as still holding that role last season, and although it's hard to argue that there's a standout perimeter defender for Denver right now, Carter is not it.
Carter was never a special player in the NBA, a lunch-pail fighter if you will, and he's older and slower now. Carter's place as the backup point was taken by rookie Ty Lawson last year, so instead of keeping him around for another season, the Nuggets need to look for someone younger to fill his sneakers.
Kenyon Martin is the defensive backbone for the Denver Nuggets. Without him, at times Denver looked unable to stop a high school team from scoring in transition in 2009-10.
But once again, K-Mart was injured down the stretch—when the team was without George Karl and needed him the most.
And the injury is lingering longer than many hoped, as Martin will not be ready for training camp and will likely miss some of the upcoming season.
Martin is stellar on defense, but questionable when it comes to rebounding. Despite averaging 9.4 boards per game last season, K-Mart only grabbed 6.0 and 6.5 per in the two prior years.
Martin's contract ends in 2011, and the Nuggets need to move him for a big man to a team that wants to free up cap space for next year. After a year in which the NBA reported league-wide losses of $400 Million, there's bound to be some team out there willing to trade for him.
It was rumored that the Nuggets were interested in Andris Biedrins and Dan Gadzuric from the Golden State Warriors for K-Mart, but it looks as if that deal will not go through—which is good for Denver. Neither player has done anything worthwhile in the NBA as of yet, and the Nuggets have to find more for Martin somewhere.
Where he goes and for what player are the questions that will hopefully be answered in the near future.
George Karl is courageously battling back from life-threatening cancer—the feel-good story of the NBA in 2010.
And while the Nuggets showed just how important he is to the team down the stretch and into the playoffs when they struggled, the NBA is a business of winning.
Denver's professional basketball team has gone to the playoffs in each of Carmelo Anthony's seven seasons in the Mile High City, but only in 2009 did they escape the first round.
George Karl has been the head man for the Nuggets in six of those years, and in six appearances, Melo and Denver have only won 16 playoff games, 10 of which came in 2009.
Karl is a great coach, who has led teams to the postseason in 17 straight years—but he's never won a crown.
George Karl deserves one more season, a fully healthy one, to take the Nuggets as far as they can go. Plus, without the headache of managing the two volatile personalities of Smith and Martin, Karl should have an easier time delivering his winning message, connecting with players and coaching winning basketball.
But if they don't make it past the first round for 6-7 years under him, Karl should be shown the door and the Nuggets must look to a new coach of the future.
Since drafting Melo in 2003, the Nuggets have taken Jameer Nelson, who was traded away that night in '04, Julius Hodge and Axel Hervelle (who?), Leon Powe, who was traded that night in '06 and no players in '07 or '08.
Denver did get Ty Lawson in 2009 in a draft night trade with the Timberwolves, for their pick in 2010.
So, once again, the Nuggets didn't have a pick in 2010.
When Denver moves Smith, Carter, Allen and Martin, they must be sure to get at least one draft pick for June, 2011.
The Nuggets are showing now that constantly picking up aging players doesn't work, they need to build for the future with young players as well as going after a championship now.
This seems to be a simple solution to the Nuggets' lack of size, strength and durability in the front court—however Denver has yet to make any noise in the biggest free agency market of all time.
Other than the K-Mart for Biedrins rumors, Denver was also said to be interested in Tyrus Thomas, three-year forward and restricted free agent of the Charlotte Bobcats. Other teams that are finding Thomas' 6'10" 225 pound frame appealing are the Timberwolves, Nets and Knicks. Plus, it's been reported that the Bobcats want badly to keep Thomas and they will have the opportunity to match any offer made to him.
Brendan Haywood is a young and strong center that spent the second half of last season with Dallas and is now looking for a new place to land. His enthusiastic rebounding and size would benefit the Nuggets greatly to be sure.
In reality, the Nuggets will need three big men if they give a pink slip to Allen and ship out Martin for someone else, one will come in the K-Mart trade, the other two are as up in the air as a tip-ball.
Those decisions will have to be made by GM Mark Warkentien and the rest of the Nuggets Front Office, including Rex Chapman and Brett Bearup. Which brings us back to the beginning of this list.
Denver has much to do, and after Carmelo Anthony signs his three-year extension that will keep him in town through 2014 surely and possibly 2015, they will be able to build around the superstar entering the prime of his career.
Nuggets fans have been waiting on a title for over three decades in the NBA, as greats like Dan Issel, Alex English and Dikembe Mutombo came through the doors and left Denver without a title. For the Nuggets to go without a championship—while the best player in franchise history in Carmelo Anthony is on the roster—it will be nothing short of a travesty.

The 2014 BCS championship game, the last one before the postseason goes to a four-team playoff, has been moved up a day to Jan. 6.
The move puts the game on a Monday night instead of a Tuesday night.
BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock says moving the game closer to the weekend makes it "more fan-friendly in terms of travel." Monday is also usually more conducive for better television ratings.
When the new playoff format starts in the 2014 season, all the championship games will be played on Monday nights.

Financial Integration and Fiscal Policy
The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of financial integration on fiscal policy. Using an unbalanced panel of 31 OECD countries from 1970 to 2009, the paper shows that financial integration has significant disciplinary effects by reducing fiscal deficits and (discretionary) spending volatility. In addition, we find that financial integration affects the composition of government debt and enhances risk-sharing by increasing the share of foreign debt to the total. The results are robust to both de jure and de facto measures of financial integration, different measures of budget balance, and different estimation strategies.

Look no further than 6-year-old Scout Finch, an innocent girl who grows wise beyond her years in the three years covered in this movie. Harper Lee's classic novel is one of Oprah's favorites, and the 1962 film certainly rises to the occasion. Named one of the American Film Institute's 100 greatest movies of all time, it brings characters like Scout, Boo Radley and Tom Robinson to life in the way we've always pictured them—and Gregory Peck's Oscar®-winning performance as defense attorney Atticus Finch still brings us to our feet. |

"It is the requirement of US government to brand its aid, but we are giving waivers to projects undertaken in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, because if they put up our logos etc, it can be life threatening," says Mehdi Ali Khan, the communication specialist for USAID here.
Another official says USAID in Pakistan would prefer to be more transparent. Not only would it help to show that money is being put to good use, but it could build good will toward the US.
"We [would] like to get credit but it's a complex situation. There is a war in Afghanistan. There are areas under conflict in Pakistan.... This is the reality," he says wishing not to be named since he is not authorized to speak to the media. The official said USAID was putting up signboards that say the project is USAID funded in areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) in northwest Pakistan, but in areas like FATA, it just wasn't possible.
Some in the region criticize USAID's approach.
Shad Begum, who received the International Women of Courage Award by the US State Department for her social work in the area, was threatened by the Taliban for working for the US government, even after asking the press in the area not to cover her award in the media for her safety.
"USAID is more focused towards highlighting their name than focusing on development on many of the projects on which I worked with them," she says. She developed a campaign recently on capacity building and social rights awareness that involved distributing fliers and putting up banners. But because USAID helped fund it, the organization required that its logo be visible on all materials she handed out, she says.
Ms. Begum says she had to argue with USAID over the size of the logo and the American flag. "People hate the Americans in this region because of their foreign policy," she says. Displaying the US flag, on a school, a new road, or other infrastructure project fuels anti-US sentiment and, worse, can put needed social projects in jeopardy.

TSA, union reach deal on historic, first contract
The nation's 45,000 transportation security officers now have union representation.
00TSA-AFGE contractJeremiahDetails are obviously not available as yet, but it is to be hoped that the new contract will not impede the recently renewed commitment of TSA to implement a true zero tolerance approach to proven serious TSA screener misconduct, including immediate removal of identified miscreants. If public confidence in TSA, already seriously frayed by many well-publicized instances of boneheaded stupidity and insensitvity in the screening process and by an increasing number of publicized cases of criminal activity by TSA screeners, is not to be further decreased, the new contract had best not include the usual negotiated procedures through which Federal employee unions shield and protect bad apples from condign punishment. If, however, this same "business as usual" approach seen in bargaining unit agreements in place in other Federal agencies unfortunately prevails in the new contract, expect to see a push for widened privatization of the screening process by more airports across the nation.32391{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0

Chrismukkah returns to 'The O.C.'
Chrismukkah has always been very good to The O.C., which is appropriate since The O.C. has been spectacularly good to Chrismukkah.
In season one, viewers got Summer in a Wonder Woman outfit (Yay!) and the introduction of Oliver (Boo!). In season two the Cohens welcomed Lindsay (who now?) into the family. And last season Ryan had a bar mitzah to help Johnny get his knee surgery, which was silly on at least five levels I can count.
It's that time of year again on TV's most holiday-prone soap and the creators of The O.C. decided to celebrate the blended holiday by blatantly ripping off last week's episode of One Tree Hill.
Sorry. Little joke there. That'd be like walking out of movie about a crazy guy who dresses up like his mother and kills people and claiming it ripped off Gus Van Sant's Psycho.
No, the writers on The O.C. have just dipped into that endlessly refillable well of Yuletide plot derivation known as the Christmas Carol/It's a Wonderful Life two-step. It's such a reliable formula that it'd be hard to bungle it as badly as OTH did last week, with an uneven narrative structure and absolutely no sense of seasonal whimsy. The O.C. crew goes the opposite way, delivering an episode that's overflowing with quirky character fun and whimsy, but if the spirit of Chrismukkah was truly invoked I may have missed it.
Credit the O.C. crew for recognizing the silliness of the It's a Wonderful Life-inspired holiday episode and playing it for humor, rather than leaden OTH-style pathos. In the opening minutes, budding not-quite-couple Ryan and Taylor are up on the rooftop bickering over their relationship status and the metaphorical value of a George Foreman grill when Taylor's ladder goes falling and Ryan falls after her. If Ryan learned nothing else from the regrettable Johnny Incident, it should have been that he can figuratively save people, but he's a bit more clumsy with the literal act.
Ryan and Taylor, sweetly hospitalized in comas, find themselves in an alternate reality that posits one version life in Newport Beach if Ryan never showed up. It isn't a pretty picture. Seth may have gotten into Brown, but he's a loser who never got to see Summer dressed as Wonder Woman. Summer, never cured of her superficiality, is about to get married to Winchester (calling himself Chester instead of the more familiar Che). But Chester's having an affair with Julie Cooper, who's actually Julie Cohen, since she's married to Sandy Cohen, who's now the mayor of Newport in the aftermath of divorcing Newport Group CEO Kirsten, who's now married to Jimmy, just so that Tate Donovan had an excuse to come back for a brief visit. Oh and Taylor's a boy, but don't ask how that works. And Marissa? Well, the teasers for the episode led you to believe that she's still alive, but [spoilers here], she actually ODed in Tijuana three years earlier. Turns out Marissa was pretty much doomed regardless and Ryan's presence and heroic intervention gave her three bonus years in which to do blow and experiment with alternative sexuality. Take that, Mischa-missing teenage girls!
Fortunately, Taylor is something of an expert on alternate realities, having gone through a sci-fi phase that must have begun at the tail end of her fascination with sleep therapy. She recognizes that only by restoring order can they return to their real lives. She also makes a brief stab at trying to explain the logistics of the alt-reality, but quickly gives up. Hijinx ensue.
Here's my problem with the episode: It took Josh Schwartz and company six episodes to restore order in the show's actual [non-alternative] reality. They led viewers through every stage of grief and closed myriad plot holes and they seemed to come out the other side with an episode last week that may have been the show's best in two seasons. It's hard not to feel like this mumbo-jumbo, however quirky and however much the actors seemed to enjoy playing bizarro versions of themselves (vaguely gangsta Summer and weirdly preppy Che were standouts), was a diversion or a distraction from business of the season. Last year, an episode this amusing would have been an oasis, but for all of the inspired trickery, the resolution -- Taylor liberating herself from her desperate need for her mom's approval, Ryan freeing himself from guilt over Marissa's death --- didn't move the story very far from where we left it.
I had favorite moments (Bizarro Julie's attempt to hide infidelity with the cover-up, "Thong is an acronym for 'The Homeless of Newport'" was a bit brilliant), but since I've already written too much, I'll invite you, dear readers, to share your favorites.
What'd you think of this year's Chrismukkah?
oh, I disagree, this really worked. Both the It's a Wonderful Life aspect and the creative and enjoyable storyline aspect.
Now Ryan and Taylor have a "can't remember" (or can they?) coma induced alter universe bond to share of acceptance, of the past and each other. Without it there was no shared bond.
The humor and wit continues from last week. Some remarkable writing, and the characters are making it real. Great show.
The holiday spirit was a bit lacking, but I absolutely loved the episode. I found the alternate O.C. characters a lot more fun to watch than the regular ones. I'm glad the show has moved in more a relaxed and comedic direction this season. And did we really think Mischa Barton would show up?
Yes this OC episode was leaps and bounds ahead of One Tree Hill's version, but the It's a Wonderful Life theme has been done so many times and much better before. That's not to say I didn't enjoy this episode, but gangsta Summer fell flat to me. Don't they know that Rachel Bilson's range is only slightly longer than Mischa Barton's?
I thought last nights epi was fantastic. I thought alt-Summer & alt-Che were hilarious. And I hope that Ryan & Taylor become a couple. Opposites attract you know.
I loved this episode. I no longer need One Tree Hill. I only watched it b/c season 3 of the OC wasn't good. but now, i don't need to. I love how lighthearted the OC is. OTH is just too melodramatic.
One Tree Hill was better. It's obvious that whoever does these reviews is biased towards the OC. It's fine. But the OC sucks now. One Tree Hill is better. And it wasn't a Christmas episode of OTH by the way. It's not even December in Tree Hill ;)
The OC is a bit lacking these days. I would take One Tree Hill over it any day.
Well apparently the OC copied the idea of doing an eppy on a "It's a Wonderful Life" scenario. OC's writers ralized that OTH was doing way better in the ratings that they thought 'what the heck, let's copy an idea of One Tree Hill, and make it look like we worked hard to rebuild our fanbase *grin*'. Really guys, One Tree Hill's was unbelievably good while the OC is still going down the tubes.
now that Marissa is dead there is no point of watching the Oc
Normally I don't read the OC reviews because the OC doesn't keep my interest anymore, but someone linked this review on a message board.
The OC is dead. It died with Mischa. It's not the same and it won't be. I guess she was the one who held it up.
I don't watch OTH that much, but I watched it a few weeks ago for a basketball championship episode and the one after it... the one that "the OC copied." I liked them both.
And the few jabs you throw at OTH here and there make you lose credibility buddy. This isn't an OC review. It's a "the OC is better than OTH" paper.

Also in 2010, Engineering News-Record (ENR), the leading U.S. trade publication for the engineering and construction industry, named Bechtel the top U.S. contractor for the 12th straight year. Bechtel participated in the building of Hoover Dam in the 1930s. It has also had involvement in several other high profile construction engineering projects, including the Channel Tunnel, numerous power projects, refineries, and nuclear power plants, BART, Jubail Industrial City and Kingdom Centre and Tower in Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong International Airport, the Big Dig, the rebuilding of the civil infrastructure of Iraq funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the hauling and installing of more than 35,000 trailers and mobile homes for Hurricane Katrina victims in Mississippi. The Bechtel family has owned Bechtel since incorporating the company in 1945. Bechtel's size, its political clout, and its penchant for privacy have made it a constant subject of scrutiny for journalists and politicians since the 1930s. Bechtel owns and operates power plants, oil refineries, water systems, and airports in several countries including the United States, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
