Video Vault:
1) Stan Van Gundy tells Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel that Jason Richardson and Jameer Nelson will once again sit out tonight's game.
2) Otis Smith is not planning on making any trades or moves any time soon (probably because there is nothing out there for him to make short of trading Dwight Howard, but he won't tell anyone that), but Kurt Helin of Pro Basketball Talk writes the Magic's lack of leadership is the bigger concern. I touched on this subject last week.
3) Bottom line: Stan Van Gundy is coaching bad players writes Eddy Rivera of MagicBasketball.net.
4) Despite firing their coach and despite being on pace for the worst winning percentage in franchise history, Wizards general manager Ernie Grunfeld is not moving from his plan to build through the draft and young talent on the roster, Michael Lee of The Washington Post writes.
5) The key to acquiring Dwight Howard is Stephen Jackson?
6) Aaron Torres of Aaron Torres Sports is right: Dwight Howard needs to shut up and just play basketball.
7) Since everyone is trying to figure out how their team can land Dwight Howard, why wouldn't ESPN Dallas post a poll asking whether the Mavericks might land both Deron Williams and Dwight Howard? The thing is, that it actually is possible if Dallas makes the right moves this season.
8) Andray Blatche is out 3-5 weeks, giving another chance to the young Trevor Booker to step into the lineup, Michael Lee of The Washington Post writes.
9) John Hollinger of ESPN believes Marshon Brooks' emergence has given the Nets perhaps the best offer for the Magic to take for Dwight Howard.
10) Alex Curtis-Slep of NBA TipOff writes Ryan Anderson has been a singular bright spot for the Magic in this troubling stretch.
11) Kevin Seraphin is a YouTube superstar.

Charlie Moore rubs lotion over Robert Collins as his mind wanders to more urgent matters-specifically Joe Foster's stiff cock. Charlie runs his tongue over the mouthwatering profile within Joe's red suit. Charlie swallows Joe's cock as Robert enjoys the view. Charlie sucks Robert's tool and Robert takes a taste of Joe's cock. Soon Joe is fingering, rimming, then fucking Charlie's tight hole. Robert takes his turn-slamming Charlie eagerly. The men work themselves into a frenzy, exploding in hot thick ropes of satisfaction.

SAVING THE TRICOLORED BLACKBIRDThe tricolored blackbird forms the largest colonies of any North American land bird, often with breeding groups of tens of thousands of individuals. In the 19th century, some colonies contained more than a million birds — enough to make one observer exclaim over flocks darkening the sky "for some distance by their masses." But because a small number of colonies may contain most of the population, human impacts can have devastating results. Over the past 70 years, destruction of the tricolor's marsh and grassland homes has reduced its populations to a small fraction of their former enormity. |

Offering a salad entrée is the latest marketing push for fast-food and quick-serve chains, but according to a new analysis by the nutrition experts at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), many fast-food salads are not any more healthful than a greasy burger. For example, McDonald's Crispy Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad with dressing has a hefty 51 grams of fat and 660 calories while a Big Mac has 34 grams of fat and 590 calories. Surprisingly, this salad entrée also has just as much cholesterol, 85 milligrams, as the Big Mac.
All six of McDonald's entrée salads are packed with fat and cholesterol, mainly from chicken and cheese, earning them all the lowest rating of one star. Other artery-clogging salads include Wendy's Chicken BLT and Subway's Meatball Salad. Two salads out of the 34 rated by PCRM earned five stars: Au Bon Pain's Garden Salad and Subway's Veggie Delite.
"We did not expect these new salad entrées to be so loaded with fat and cholesterol," says Brie Turner-McGrievy, M.S., R.D., the clinical research coordinator at PCRM. "Americans thinking about getting in shape and heading to the beach this summer should steer clear of the heavily hyped 'salads' that are smothered with chicken, cheese and other fatty foods. Real salads with plenty of fresh veggies and chickpeas or beans for protein are best for heart health and slimming."
The two top-rated salads earned five stars for meeting all of the criteria for healthfulness:

< Return To Hearing
Mr. Dan GlickmanJune 21, 2006
Testimony of the "The Analog Hole: Can Congress Protect Copyright and Promote Innovation?" June 21, 2006 Chairman Specter, Ranking Member Leahy, members of the Committee: On behalf of the member companies of the Motion Picture Association of America, I thank you for the opportunity to talk to you about the analog hole and how the Congress can protect copyright and promote innovation by removing the current disconnect between our analog past and our digital future. Intellectual property has consistently proven to be this country's greatest export. In the marketplace of imagination, America's innovators and creators are unsurpassed. However, the viability of this creative output is reliant upon our ability to protect it from being devalued by theft. In a time where America is working to remain competitive in the global marketplace, this nation will prosper or it will fail in large part based upon how we protect our nation's greatest assets...the skill, ingenuity and creativity of our people. The American film industry, like all of the creative industries, combines capital and talent to produce intellectual property. It is not easy to create a movie. It requires lots of money, lots of skilled workers, and lots of hard work. In fact, four out of ten movies don't make back their investment. So the movie industry is fraught with risk. Despite these hurdles, the American film industry is the most successful in the world. Our industry has a positive balance of trade with almost every country in the world and is one of our best job creators. The member companies of the MPAA are excited about the future of our industry and are working hard to make a successful transition to the digital world. This digital future will ultimately allow viewers to watch virtually any movie, at any time, at any place, at prices dictated by a competitive and thriving marketplace. While there are many hurdles to overcome in making this vision a reality, our member companies are responding to the consumers who are their constituency and are committed to meeting this need. Studios and networks are expanding their distribution channels to harness new technologies to deliver content in a variety of new ways. New ventures and offers are being announced in rapid fire succession. These are a sampling: However, while the industry embraces the many opportunities of the future, it also must confront the ever present threat of theft. The pilfering of our films costs our industry approximately $6.1 billion dollars a year. On the Internet front, it has been estimated that as much as two-thirds of Internet bandwidth in this country is consumed by peer-to-peer traffic, with much of that volume attributable to movie theft. And it is only getting worse. Pirating DVD's is more lucrative than selling heroin for many criminal gangs. A recent study showed that 62 percent of our industry's piracy is attributable to illegally produced DVDs. New technologies enable criminals to acquire movies, burn them onto DVD discs, and then sell them on the streets or through a global storefront on the Internet with amazing speed. The MPAA works very effectively with the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI, Customs and local law enforcement to crack down on these gangs. We also are providing more and more legal alternatives for on-line movies. We are working to help our schools teach kids that stealing on the Internet is as wrong as stealing from a store. We are investing in the future to find cutting-edge technologies that will get movies to consumers while protecting copyrights. And we are working with our colleagues in the consumer electronics, computer and online service provider industries on the development and implementation of digital rights management ("DRM") technologies to offer consumers a wider array of choices for enjoying the content we produce. But commercial piracy is not the only challenge we face in the new digital environment. We also must develop secure delivery systems so we can offer consumers the viewing options they desire while maintaining a sound fiscal base to sustain our industry. We are embracing DRM technologies so that we can offer consumers more choices at a greater variety of price points: one consumer may want to purchase a permanent copy of a movie while another may want to watch it only once--and at a lower price. To sustain the viability of this array of different offers, however, we must be able to maintain the distinction among them. Thus, we need to provide technical safeguards to ensure that the consumer who opts to take advantage of a time-limited viewing option at one price is not, in fact, getting the benefit of the sale option. Otherwise the price of the time-limited model will naturally migrate toward the sale model, all to the detriment of the honest consumer. In using the phrase "technical safeguards" I do not mean to imply that we seek absolute protection against unauthorized use of our movies. We understand that committed pirates will break any security measures we can devise and these pirates will have to be dealt with by way of criminal and civil legal remedies. However, we can, and must, implement basic technological measures to delineate for consumers the differences among our various content offerings and to discourage what I call "casual misuse" of our intellectual property. At the end of the day, the economic impact of a thousand otherwise law abiding citizens making an extra copy of a movie they purchased and "sharing" it with a friend has the same impact as a single commercial pirate selling a thousand copies of a movie on a street corner. In many cases, the DVD being a prime example, we have worked with the technology companies to develop and implement secure delivery systems supported by technical measures and voluntary contractual relationships. However, there are some areas where private sector solutions alone will not work. The analog hole is an example of an area where such assistance is needed. What is the analog hole? Let me try to explain it as simply as I can. While film content is increasingly arriving into American homes in protected digital form, such content must be converted into an analog format to be viewed on the overwhelming majority of television sets in U.S. households, which can only process and display an analog signal. When digital content protected by digital rights management technology is converted to analog form for viewing on legacy analog television equipment, the content is stripped of all its digital protections. This analog content can then be redigitized "in the clear," without any protections whatsoever. This redigitized and completely unprotected content can then be efficiently compressed, copied and redistributed without degradation. It can also readily be uploaded to the Internet for unauthorized copying and redistribution. Like a black hole, the analog hole sucks in all content protections, leading to two problems. First, it eliminates the "lines" or boundaries among the different viewing opportunities we are trying to bring to consumers and makes it difficult to sustain the choices for consumers that digital rights management technologies otherwise help facilitate. Second, it creates a significant loophole for our industry in the fight against piracy. This is not an idle concern. While some manufacturers voluntarily design analog to digital conversion devices to respond to analog copy protection information such as CGMS-A, others market devices specifically designed to exploit the analog hole. We have a situation where bad actors are reaping a windfall at the expense of motion picture companies and ultimately consumers, and good actors are placed at a competitive disadvantage. Movie studios are actively engaged in developing and offering innovative new business models to give consumers greater flexibility and more choices for how and where they access and enjoy movies and television shows. All of these models depend, however, upon a secure environment which protects this high-value content from rampant theft and redistribution. Devices that permit exploitation of the analog hole, whether by design or otherwise, undercut this framework and consequently limit the viewing choices that can be made available to consumers. Because of the ease with which it can be exploited, the analog hole creates a gaping hole in digital rights management protections, allowing high value content to be copied and re-transmitted without limit. Of particular significance is the fact that exploitation of the analog hole requires no act of circumvention, nor any unauthorized circumvention devices prohibited by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Instead, the analog hole can be exploited solely through the use of general purpose home equipment. In some cases such equipment is specifically designed to permit people to take advantage of the analog hole to defeat digital rights management measures. In other cases, analog inputs and outputs serve a legitimate purpose and the analog hole is a byproduct. Closing the analog hole would place these analog to digital conversion devices on an equal footing with all-digital devices by maintaining the integrity of digital rights management measures. Narrowly focused and targeted legislation is required to implement an analog hole solution. Such a solution will create a level playing field for device manufacturers and allow content providers to tailor their offerings to consumer desires. Legislation will help ensure that good actors are not disadvantaged by companies who do not play by the rules and enable content owners to provide consumer choices without running an unacceptable risk of promoting theft. The technological solution provided in bipartisan legislation introduced in the House by Judiciary Committee Chairman Sensenbrenner and Ranking Minority Member Conyers reflects these multi-industry talks and is consistent with the consensus that came out of that process. It provides for a robust analog rights signaling mechanism that does not interfere with consumers' ability to fully enjoy the content they receive. Known as "CGMS-A plus Veil," Analog Copy Generation Management System (CGMS-A) coupled with the Veil Technologies Rights Assertion Mark provides a practical degree of protection from unauthorized reproduction and redistribution while not diminishing a consumer's viewing experience. Indeed, the honest consumer who does not attempt to violate her agreement with the movie distributor by making copies or redistributing the movie will have no reason to know that the analog hole has been closed. I want to emphasize that the Analog Hole has been the subject of intense scrutiny by technology and content communities, as well as other interested parties, in open forums consuming literally thousands of man-hours of discussion. It is a documented fact that there is broad consensus that these are issues that need to be addressed. There is also broad consensus on the nature of the solutions that should be considered. Chairman Specter, Ranking Member Leahy, members of the Committee, I appreciate this opportunity to discuss these matters of concern to our industry and I look forward to answering any questions you may have regarding what I have just discussed. |

You know I could swear I had this problem before and figured out what the problem was, but it seems that it's happened again. There's seemingly now way to edit my posts. Is it just after a certain amount of time that users no longer have the ability, because I could swear that I had edited the post in question shortly after I posted, but I just spotted something now that I needed to rectify that I cannot.
Anyway, I couldn't find anything about it in a FAQ or anything, but I could swear I've asked before, so sorry for bringing it up again...

@SagaciousKJB, apologies on the late response. Have you tried other browsers? Different computers? I'm looking to narrow the problem down... definitely strange.

Sometimes, something as simple as clearing the browser cache clears up odd problems for me. Don't know if it will help in this case, though.

Message to the community from Luren
E. Dickinson:
Library Week is an annual observance, a time set aside in April to celebrate
libraries and all they offer. This year's celebration marks our recent
designation by Library Journal as a 5-star library. Visit either of our
locations on Tuesday, April 14, when we will begin the day by reading
compliments and commendations from our public, then stay to enjoy coffee and
donuts in the morning and punch and cookies in the afternoon.
Library is well used and appreciated by the community. We consistently rate as
one of the most heavily used libraries in America with an annual circulation of
more than 40 items per capita, and we received a 74% approval rating on our
last operating levy. In addition, our library users are appreciative of the
service they receive from staff. A
recent letter attesting to this fact reads:
"I feel very privileged to be able to use the
services of the Shaker Heights Library.
Not only do you have a fine collection of books and resources and
speedily acquire requests from other libraries, but also you have a very
accommodating staff. All of your
employees from whom I have sought assistance have been very helpful and gone to
considerable lengths to make sure I received the books and CD's I sought. They seem to enjoy being of service. This is true both at Main and at Woods. Thank you to them and to you."
library employees are asked to describe co-workers, their collective
descriptors are: "excellent people
skills, customers come first, knowledgeable, good customer service, team
player, good with children, wonderful sense of humor, professional, creative,
great listener, friendly, gracious, positive attitude, happy to help, learns
quickly, and sweet!" Who could
ask for more in a library staff?
Library Board of Trustees provides steady and thoughtful leadership. Armed with
multiple MBAs and doctoral degrees, our individual and talented board members
work together as a team and always have what is best for the community at the
forefront of their collective mind.
Friends of
the Shaker Library has been an asset since it was formed in 1980. This
enterprising group has enabled the library to purchase a van, a mobile cart for
disabled patrons, and provided the seed money for the Library Endowment Fund.
In addition, Friends funds summer reading programs, meet-the-author programs
and other special events. The organization's Spring Book Sale, April 16-19, is
another venture that not only raises money, but also provides excellent
bargains in books for our community of readers.
Library offers something for everyone! April's upcoming events include gaming
programs for seniors; the sixth installment of the Shaker Heights 101 series; poetry read by members of the Case Western Reserve Off-Campus Studies Poetry Workshop; Communities in Conversation: Judaism, Christianity and
Islam, a 6-week, scholar-led, interfaith study and discussion group; a
variety of children's programs and a free family flick. In addition, the 10th annual
Barbara Luton Art Competition exhibit is on display through May 4 on the Main
Library second floor. Stop in to see the art juried into our 2009 show,
including this year's Best of Show, a watercolor entitled "A Very Good
Breakfast," by Amy Lewandowski.

Eephus League Identity
Designed by Bethany Heck
My Intro to Visual Communication Final. I had to design stationary and come up with a company to represent my object for the semester, the drafting compass. I chose to go a very mathematical route because my company was named "Exact Architecture." Everything is based off of the number 3:
The two parts of the logo mark (a drafting compass) represent what the architect does; The smaller blue triangle (the handle of the compass) represents the conceptual side, where the architect envisions the final product. The larger magenta triangle (the drawing point and the needle anchor) represents the physical output, the drawings and blueprints produced and sent to the company that constructs the building.
The strict grid is meant to represent what the company does — build complex structures out of simple parts. The circles are meant to represent the human aspect of architecture, with the rigid grid housing circles of all shapes and sizes.
I posted this a while ago, but since I'm about to do work on a company's identity at work, I thought I'd share again.

The debate was never about kiranas or even farmers, it was about political strengthŚthatĺs the big lesson for the UPA
Given all the talk of Ĺcommunal forcesĺ during the debate on retail FDI, both inside as well as outside Parliament, it always seemed pretty much a done deal. That, when push came to shove, both the SP and the BSP and perhaps even others would abstain from the vote, to find some way to let the government push the necessary legislation through. And, in any case, as former Lok Sabha secretary general PDT Acharya points out, if the Lok Sabha votes in favour of retail FDI, it doesnĺt really matter what the Rajya Sabha doesŚthe details are confusing, those interested can watch the December 4 episode of Karan Thaparĺs ĹLast Wordĺ (http://goo.gl/Z8nQH).
But if it was pretty much a done dealŚCPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury cited similar instances, on the same show, where the government usually managed to ram its way throughŚwhy did the BJP and others want the vote? In all likelihood to expose the SP and the BSP as opportunistic dealmakers, going along with them in the anti-FDI campaign and yet allowing the government to push retail FDI through. While itĺs not certain how that will play out, if at all, during the elections, the SP/BSP pragmatism augurs well for economic reforms. Itĺs good news for the government that is desperately trying to drum up the global mood as well as for foreign investors whoĺre looking for signs to show India is once again open to business. As for the so-called opportunism of the SP and the BSP, itĺs important to realise the way the retail FDI proposal was crafted; it was up to the state governments to decide if they wanted it in their states. So neither party is, at one level, being untrue to its convictions.
In any case, make no mistake, the issue was never about the kirana owner, nor was it about the farmer, the poor smelly farmer who BJP leader Sushma Swaraj said may never even be able to sell his produce inside a fancy FDI retail

Austrian goalie wrote book about his time in KHL
SALZBURG, Austria Back in 2008, Bernd Brückler played for the Espoo Blues in the Champions Hockey League. And played well. In fact, he played so well that he caught the attention of several KHL clubs. His first deal with Avangard Omsk that would have covered only the remainder of the season fell through, but he then signed a two-year contract with Torpedo Nizhni Novgorod in 2009. After the 2010/11 season, Brückler signed a new two-year contract with Sibir Novosibirsk, but he got fired during the training camp in his second season just hours before a pre-season game he thought was going to play.This fall, Brückler wrote a memoir of his time in Russia. The book is titled This is Russia: Life in the KHL - Doctors, bazas and millions of airmiles and it was written with the help of IIHF.coms Risto Pakarinen. The two chatted recently about the book, about Brücklers time in the KHL, and about the process of writing the book.When did you decide to write a book about your time in Russia, and why?Bernd Brückler: The why and the when are related because as soon as I had settled in Nizhni Novgorod, and had travelled with the team a little bit, I realized it was going to be an adventure. Ive played in Austria, and in several small towns in Canada, and in Finland, and college hockey in the U.S., and I was thrilled to experience Russia. It was actually my agent who first suggested I should write a book about my time in the KHL. By then, though, I had also been blogging about it, and writing columns that were published in a local paper in Nizhni Novgorod. A lot of the stories going around in hockey circles in the West have to do with the gruesome travel and the money. Whats the first thing you think about when you think back to your time in the KHL?Oh, its a wave of things. I think of the travel, of course, because its such a big part of the experience. Even short trips, like the 500 kilometres from Nizhni Novgorod to Moscow can be memorable, for several reasons. Travelling to the east is an ordeal, because the time difference can be six hours, and we always tried to stay in our own time, in our minds. That meant that a 7pm game was actually an afternoon game for us.But I also think about the great players I got to play with and against. How I met Jaromir Jagr, and practiced with Vladimir Tarasenko when we were teammates in Novosibirsk.And how could I not think about the money. [Chuckles]. Not only about the money I made, but also the differences between what we, hockey players, made, and what others made. We were the privileged ones, the ones in the VIP line. Both literally and metaphorically. It really made me appreciate the sacrifices the fans made to see us play.What do you mean?For example, I was told that some fans pooled their money to buy a ticket to a game and then they took turns in getting inside and watching parts of it. The ones outside would listen to the game on a radio while waiting for their turn to get in. Once when we were in Moscow, a group of fans had made the trip from Nizhni Novgorod, but they didnt have the money to get back home so they asked the players for help.And when Lokomotivs plane crashed, the games were cancelled, but our fans had already made the trip to Omsk where we were supposed to play. The players chipped in and paid for their bus so they wouldnt have had to pay for it, for nothing.How was the hockey in the KHL? How did you do against Jaromir Jagr?I did OK, I think I kept him off the scoresheet. Hockey in the KHL is really good, but its very much its own breed. The Russian players and the Russian coaches still emphasize the importance of the passing game, which can be very frustrating for a goalie both in games and in practices.Theres a lot of skill in the league, and with the influx of players and coaches from Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, the style of play has already changed a little. Its a really good league.Obviously, I enjoyed my time there. After all, I did play there for three years, and would have liked to have played for even longer.Any pointers youd give to players heading out there?Keep an open mind, work hard, use your head. Stay curious. Did I say work hard? Many things in Russia may strike you as a little odd in the beginning, but most of the times there is a rational explanation to why things are done in a certain way. Then of course, sometimes, the answer is just this is Russia. Im afraid it would take a lifetime to really understand Russia, but it sure is a fascinating country.RISTO PAKARINENFootnote: Brückler is now in his second season with Red Bull Salzburg in his native country Austria. His book This is Russia: Life in the KHL - Doctors, bazas and millions of airmiles was published in December and is available on Amazon.
