[JURIST] Citigroup Inc. [corporate website] on Thursday announced [press release] that it would not seek to enjoin the acquisition of Wachovia Corp. by Wells Fargo & Co. [corporate websites] but would pursue claims against both financial institutions for alleged breach of contract and tortious interference with contract. Citigroup's decision to abandon negotiations to acquire a substantial portion of Wachovia operations clears the way for the $15.4 billion merger with Wells Fargo, which was proposed [Wachovia press release] last week. Citigroup said in a statement:
We are proud to have been part of an historic transaction that was supported by all of the federal banking agencies and the Secretary of the Treasury, after consultation with the President, and that we carefully designed to avoid systemic stress and to advance the interests of our shareholders....Without our willingness to engage in this transaction, hundreds of billions of dollars of value would have been seriously threatened. We stood by while others walked away. Now, our shareholders have been unjustly and illegally deprived of the opportunity the transaction created.

Time to roar! A full Moon in Leo this weekend casts a spotlight on your inner Lion. We all have one – the desire to shine for who we are.
If you are new to practicing sacred lunacy, working with the monthly Moon cycle is like working with your breath. A new Moon is akin to empty lungs, waiting to be filled. The waxing Moon is like inhaling, drawing life-force into yourself. The full Moon is like the moment when your lungs are full, potent and energized. And an exhalation is similar to the waxing Moon, relaxing and releasing. Timing your activities with this cycle can help you move with the earth's rhythms to accomplish your goals.
The full Moon is associated with all energized states -- heightened passions and emotions, sleep disturbances and strange dreams. The feeling often lasts for a few days before and after the precise full moon. The zodiac sign of the full Moon suggests something of the quality of this energized feeling.
This weekend's full Moon, on Jan. 26 at 8:38 pm PST, falls in the sign Leo. The essential need of the zodiac sign Leo is creative self-expression, in all its glorious forms. What you create is not nearly as important to Leo as that you create from your heart, in a spirit of discovery and joy.
Young creatures of all species naturally exemplify this kind of spontaneous originality and playfulness. Sadly, through the hard knocks of life, many adults seem to have misplaced this spark.
If you are feeling like a soggy kitty (or even if you aren't), a Leo full Moon is the perfect time to get your groove back. Need a little reminder about how to do that? Try one of these seven techniques for becoming more playful – or even try them all!
(1) Watch a funny video, listen to silly songs, or read something funny. Anything that gets you to smile
(2) Do something spontaneous. Walk away from your computer and go outside. Walk barefoot. Take a walk without having a plan.
(3) Play a game. Download an app for fun. Or just play solitaire.
(4) Be with someone playful. Playfulness is infectious. Play with children or young animals, or even adults with a twinkle in their eye.
(5) Be creative. Dance, paint, sing, color with crayons. Doodle on your reports, if you're out of paper.
(6) Break the rules. Rules are meant to be broken, right? Do something a little naughty. Play hooky.
(7) Do something courageous. Something you've always wanted to, but been afraid to try. The activity you choose doesn't matter, as long as it stretches your personal boundaries.
What other heart-opening, laughter-inspiring activities do you recommend? Express yourself and add your suggestions to the comments below.

I once read a novel in which a sure-fire way to win at gambling was described. Called the Martingale System, its simplicity and logic were an instant hit with an impressionable teenager.
You wager on an event where the odds are 50/50. Heads or tails on the flip of a coin maybe, or odd/even on the roulette wheel. Actually roulette either/or bets aren't quite 50/50 because of the zero. It may score an automatic loss, or allow the house to keep a chunk of your stake. This is the casino's profit margin.
A European wheel has the numbers 0 – 36. American wheels add 00, which puts an additional bias in favour of the house.
In the Martingale System, you decide on a standard amount to bet and commence play.
If you win, you either place another bet or walk away with your profit. If you lose, you bet again, this time double what you just lost.
If you win this bet, you cover your losses in the previous game and make a small profit. If you lose again, you double up once more. The system tells you to keep doubling until the run of losses breaks. When you eventually win, all your losses are wiped out, you have a small profit, and you revert to your standard bet.
Here's an example betting session. The currency matters not, I'm British so I use pounds:
Reserve | Bet | Result |
£100 | ||
£10 | Loss | |
£90 | ||
£20 | Loss | |
£70 | ||
£40 | Win | |
£110 |
After the win, your next bet is £10.
Notice how a losing streak requires an exponential growth in stake. If you experience an unduly long run of losses, you will run out of money to stake further bets. In the above example, the next bet would have been £80. With a reserve of only £70 you cannot cover your full loss even if you bet £70 and win.
If you reach your limit, you can place no further bets and have sustained a large loss. Either take it on the chin, or come back another time with a larger reserve and continue where you left off.
Given a large enough pot in relation to your basic stake, wipe-out events should be rare. In general, you should make a series of small wins that add up to a good return.
And that's the Martingale deal: steady small gains offset by a smaller chance of a large loss.
Armed with that valuable nugget of gaming strategy, could you make a living just playing the Martingale system in an honest online casino?
That's tricky to answer definitively.
No matter how big your reserve in relation to your standard wager, there is always the possibility of a sequence of losses long enough to wipe you out.
If you just play the Martingale system once or twice by way of experiment, there is a fair chance that you will avoid such a calamitous event. But play it continually with the aim of making a living and sooner or later, you will encounter the killer streak.
What we really want to know is, for a given regular stake and a given reserve, how likely is it that we will be wiped out?
We could calculate the answer from probability theory. We could also set up a simulator that reports the outcome of a large number of trial games.
And that's what you will find below.
WARNING: The simulator is an afternoon's hack. It seems to work properly but has not been rigorously tested. Therefore you should not interpret your experience as a guarantee of real-life behaviour. Results are written back into this page.
Suppose you hit the casino with £1,000 in your pocket and decide to make £10 bets. And we'll also suppose that you intend to play 10 games per hour in the hope of making a steady income. That would give around 1500 games per month.
So enter 10, 1000 and 1500 and press the button to run a simulation of a month's worth of roulette. The simulation stops early if you lose your reserve.
As in real life, two runs are rarely the same. You get a few very good ones, a few very bad ones and plenty of middling ones. Try it many times to get a feel for what happens. Notice how often long runs of losses occur, and how often you fail to survive (zero reserve and aborted trial).
Increase the ratio between stake and reserve and try a different number of games.
Some sets of parameters lead to frequent disasters but you can tweak the inputs until good runs are in the clear majority.
You may then be tempted to head for the casino and take a chance on applying your 'safe' parameters. That's your call, but...
These outfits operate to make a profit. Many clever people have tried to beat them. Any casino that can't handle players who use systems would not have survived to do business with you.
With few exceptions, anything you do will have been seen before and the house rules stacked against it.
Beware of maximum and minimum stakes and maximum payouts which effectively limit the run of doubling and force you to reduce the ratio between reserve and stake.
William Hill's Internet casino, for example, at the time of writing has a maximum £1,500 bet on its Classic Casino roulette. Minimum outside bet (which includes all the either/or type bets we're interested in) is £5. That imposes a limit of eight straight losses with Martingale because after that, the next bet must be £2,555.
To follow an eight-loss sequence through, you would need a cash reserve of £2,555. Try £5 and £2555 in the simulator over 100 games and you will find a scary number of clean-outs and large losses (reserve greatly reduced). And it's easy to get through 100 games in an hour if you turn off the animations!
This tells us that if you were to do it for real, you might bomb out soon after you start. And if you get away with it for a while, tears are inevitable within a few hours.
Call me yellow, but for me Martingale is only OK for an occasional small fun bet. No way would I apply it regularly with serious money!
Somebody emailed to say that the simulator and my reasoning are flawed because I do not take account the law of averages. According to my correspondent, it goes like this: say even or red comes up a few times in succession. The likelihood of the same result coming up in the next bet steadily drops. Therefore, Martingale is far safer than I am making out.
That definitely isn't true. Roulette wheels do not have a memory. Neither does a coin. Heads and tails are always equally likely no matter what happened previously. Suppose you flip 20 tails in a row. The chance of tails coming up next time is exactly the same as it was on the first occasion. There is no spring-like force of nature winding up to push the odds towards heads.
Please don't take me to task if you disagree. I have already spent enough time playing email tennis with this one. Read what the others say and you're welcome to believe what you will.
This is the personal web site of Ian Sharpe, a software developer and writer based in Bath, United Kingdom.
Before taking up software development full time, I had a career in computer magazine publishing. My obsession with programming accidentally took me into magazines in 1986 and I worked in the industry for 16 years. Some visitors may remember me from titles such as PC Plus, PC Answers, PC Today and CPC Computing.
Most of the material here dates from that period.
There is no binding theme – it's just whatever comes into my head to publish, hence '@random'.
There used to be a lot more, but I drop items when they become outdated and do not reflect current interests.
The remainder survives while it stays popular. I may occasionally add new material.
When my magazine adventure eventually played out, I switched to what I wanted to do all those years ago. I spent five years developing software at a busy digital printing company.
Now I work freelance. My professional services site is www.iansharpe.com.
Because my personal site is mostly old material that I'm not very interested in, answering email about it is not my favourite activity. If there is a real problem (or opportunity!), my address is firstname.lastname@example.com.

A pedal developed with Billy Sheehan that has unlimited tonal options.
The Billy Sheehan Signature Drive pedal was developed by EBS in close co-operation with Billy himself. It is based on the concept of mixing together a clean signal with a distorted to be able to preserve low frequencies and find balance between distortion and definition.
Built-in Compressor
The option to add compression makes it possible to keep the note differentiation clearly audible even at heavily distorted sounds. There are three modes for the built-in compressor; High, Mid and Off. For the Mid setting, there's an additional trim pot inside to set the level. There's also a trim pot to set the Threshold for the compressor.
Clean Loop, Drive Loop - Endless possibilities!
The Billy Sheehan Signature Drive offers unlimited pre-post mix tone shaping by including a clean loop and a drive loop. It lets the user insert any other effect they wish within each loop to create your own signature effect! For example, connect an external EQ to the Drive Loop and shape the character of the distortion any way you want, or turn off the built-in compressor if you prefer to use a different type of compressor and put in the Clean Loop.
With the new extended size box from EBS, there are controls for Drive (gain for the overdrive engine), Tone (sets the frequency scoop for the drive), Level (sets level for drive channel post Drive Loop and pre final compressor) and Clean (sets level for the clean channel, post Clean Loop and pre final compressor).

Comments about EBS Billy Sheehan Signature Bass Pedal:
I hate losing the bottom end when i try to get a nice gritty tone for soloing. But with this pedal I can get as dirty as I want without suffering any loss of on the lower end. I've been using it live and in the studio for several weeks ow ad it's a dream.
This Pedal was exactly what I've been waiting for. It's well built too. Good job Billy!

Because it is hard to find any promises from JavaScript implementors around these sorts of issues, it seems that no solution would be provable, so I went with something practical.
For those worried that the increment operator is not atomic, one could replace it with a large random large number which would make the odds of failure small (e.g. one in 4 billion) and known.
I guess it depends on which operation one has the least paranoia about. :-)

Serves: 4 to 6
These ingredients are:
Vegetarian Corn-free Dairy-free Peanut-free Soy-free Tree nut-free
Rita says: I like serving things people might not be accustomed to eating, such as the whole-grain pasta used in this recipe. Our members loved this easy pasta salad. The hearty, deep-green kale from Full Circle Farm is a beautiful and nutritious combination with the pasta.
If you're nervous about trying the whole grain, use half white and half whole-wheat the first time. You'll quickly get acclimated!
- 1/2 bunch organic kale, blanched and chopped Add to list
- 1/2 bunch organic chard, blanched and chopped Add to list
- 1 package whole-wheat farfalle pasta Add to list
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar Add to list
- Juice from one large organic orange Add to list
- 1/3 cup olive oil Add to list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Add to list
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Add to list
Chop kale and chard. Cook in boiling water for 30 seconds, then rinse under cold water. Dry in a salad spinner.
Boil pasta and rinse under cold water.
Mix vinegar, orange juice, oil, salt and pepper. Toss all together and serve.

Thanks Zach. We-ell, I don't actually do sprints or burpees. The reason I want to start incorporating them is cos I want to start seeing results from my exercise. I don't see anything from the lower intensity stuff, and I still get burnt out...
I think chronic cardio is stressful for everyone, but some people get addicted to it.

United States Senator
February 27, 2008
"Supporting the Front Line in the Fight Against Crime: Restoring Federal Funding for State and Local Law Enforcement"
Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs
Wednesday, February 27, 2008
Mr. Chairman, thank you for your leadership on this issue over the years, and thank you for chairing this very important hearing.
I, too, am deeply concerned about the current state of federal funding for grants that aid state and local law enforcement agencies. The fiscal year 2008 funding levels were far too low, and for fiscal year 2009, the President's budget proposal once again proposes to slash funding for these programs.
Congress, in partnership with states and local communities, has an obligation to help provide the tools, technology and training that our nation's law enforcement officers need to protect our communities. That is why I have consistently supported a number of federal grant programs, including the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program, which provides critical funding to help fight violent and drug-related crime, and the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Program, which is instrumental in providing funding on a range of crime-fighting techniques. I have heard again and again how important these programs have been to Wisconsin law enforcement efforts.
But both of these important programs have suffered funding cuts in recent years, and the Byrne program was hit especially hard in fiscal year 2008. Unfortunately, this trend continues in the President's budget proposal for fiscal year 2009, in which he eliminates funding for both of these programs, replacing them with new, and woefully underfunded proposals. Congress has authorized spending for these programs at a combined total of more than $2 billion, but the President proposes that they be replaced with new, untested programs that add up to only $400 million - and under the President's proposal that money would also have to fund numerous other initiatives beyond the scope of the current Byrne and COPS programs.
Congress must reject the President's proposals, as it has before.
The Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program is critical in the fight against violent and drug-related crime. This key program supports multi-jurisdictional drug task forces, drug courts, drug education and prevention programs, and many other efforts to reduce drug abuse and prosecute drug offenders. The money also goes toward domestic violence prosecutors, community prosecution programs, crime victim services, and community corrections programs. These programs have been very important to law enforcement efforts in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin, but Byrne funding has been subject to relentless cuts. Although Congress has authorized $1.095 billion annually for this program, the fiscal year 2008 appropriation for Byrne was just $170 million - a sliver of the authorized amount, and also a dramatic cut from the $520 million that Congress appropriated to Byrne grants in fiscal year 2007. In Wisconsin alone, that results in a $4.1 million reduction in federal funds to state and local law enforcement between fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2008. And according to the Wisconsin District Attorneys Association, it will result in the loss of funding for 21 prosecutors, at a time when there are already far too many prosecutorial positions in Wisconsin that are unfilled. This is simply unacceptable; our state and local law enforcement deserve and rightfully demand more support from the federal government in keeping our communities safe.
The COPS program provides funding to train new officers, to invest in crime-fighting technologies, and to fight methamphetamine abuse, among other things. It has fared better in fiscal year 2008 than Byrne, but more funding is still needed. Congress has authorized $1.05 billion annually for the various components of the COPS program, which support a range of law enforcement priorities. Despite the COPS Program's record of effectiveness, funding has steadily decreased under the current Administration. The COPS Program's fiscal year 2008 appropriation of $587 million is 37 percent less than its funding in FY 2003 and just over half of its authorized amount. Funding for state and local law enforcement grant programs has followed a dangerous downward trend, even as the needs of law enforcement officers, our first responders, grow.
I have been hearing for years now from Wisconsin law enforcement officials about the increase in violent crime in their communities. Indeed, according to the 2006 FBI Uniform Crime Report, violent crime in Wisconsin increased by a staggering 18.1 percent between 2005 and 2006. While the recently released preliminary FBI statistics for 2007 show some signs of improvement, they unfortunately also indicate that overall violent crime rates have continued to rise in both Milwaukee and Green Bay. And yet the federal government continues to turn its back and as a result, state and local agencies are being stretched to the breaking point.
Byrne and COPS grants are a critical part of the federal effort to help our state and local partners combat violent crime. I will continue to work with Senator Biden and others to secure adequate funding for both these critical grant programs. Congress must make this a priority.

List; James Mitchell (Co-Chair); Barbara Rockenbach (Co-Chair); Maryly Snow;
Margaret Webster; Tony White; Cindy Wolff.
Board Liaison: Ursula Kolmstetter
business meeting was held (jointly with VRA Intellectual Property Rights
Committee) at the national conference in St. Louis, Missouri, on Friday, March
22, 2002.
The Committee co-sponsored a Copyright Town Meeting
at the St. Louis conference, "The Changing Research Environment: The
Information Commons Today." The summary report on the 2001–02 series of
Town Meetings is available at http://www.ninch.org/copyright/.
Liaison Roger Lawson continued to monitor NINCH list
and forward relevant items to Committee members and ARLIS-L.
The annual membership contribution increased to $600.
for 2003 conference in Baltimore: the Committee is sponsoring a
point/counterpoint session, "The Digital Millenium Copyright and Copyright
Term Extension Acts," on Monday, March 24, 2003, 10:00–11:30 a.m.;
moderator, Barbara Rockenbach; recorder, Tony White; organized by Roger Lawson.
Eldred v.
Ashcroft: Committee coordinated ARLIS/NA co-signing amicus curiae brief filed by the Association of Research Libraries
other library organizations regarding this challenge to the Copyright Term
Extension Act of 1998. The Committee also contributed $200 to ARL to support the
brief. Despite this effort, the US Supreme Court's decision on January 15, 2003,
upheld the constitutionality of the law. More information, and a link to the
full brief, is available at http://eldred.cc/news/.
Future Coalition (DFC): Liaison Roger Lawson monitored listserv and forwarded relevant items to Committee and
Committee maintained its membership in Affect, a consortium of organizations,
coordinated by DFC, who are opposed to implementation of UCITA. Membership will
be reviewed at the Committee's 2003 meeting, as the group has not been very
the site was moved to a server at Stanford University, hosted by Vanessa Kam:
Various news items were added to a prominent position
on the site's first page. For example, links to information on the USA Patriot
Act and the FBI's rejuvenated library investigation program, following a
spirited discussion on ARLIS-L.
The TEACH
Act (Technology, Education and Copyright Harmonization Act) was passed by the
Congress, and became Public Law 107-273 on November 2. The law amends the
Copyright Act (Title 17 U.S.C.) to extend to distance education programs
pre-existing exemptions for classroom performance and display of
copyright-protected material. The Public Policy Committee joined other library
organizations advocating in support of this bill.
other bills of interest, particularly related to modifying the more onerous
provisions of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998, were
introduced late in the term of the 107th Congress. It is not yet
clear which bills may be re-introduced in the 108th Congress,
particularly in light of current preoccupations with security concerns and the
budgetary effects of the lingering recession. The Committee will continue to
monitor these for any developments relevant to the interests of ARLIS/NA.
members attended various meetings sponsored by other organizations:
James Mitchell and Cindy Wolff both attended a
symposium on November 6, sponsored by the International Foundation for Art
Research (IFAR), "Copyright or Copywrong? The Supreme Court, Copyright Term
Extension, and The Arts."
Vanessa Kam attended a video teleconference on USA
Patriot Act and privacy, sponsored by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL),
on December 11.
2002-2005 Strategic Plan Action Items:
Establish guidelines for kind and quantity of involvement in political action
and lobbying allowable under IRS 501 tax status. (III D)
Committee did not address this during 2002.
Identify other agencies and associations with shared interests in
legislative/policy matters; link with groups, as appropriate, to co-author
and/or co-sign position statements; provide descriptive annotations on other
groups' committees, working groups, etc. (III D)
Links are
provided on the Committee's website; listservs are monitored, and relevant
announcements are forwarded to ARLIS-L. In 2002, discussions were opened with
the Progressive Librarians' Guild; Vanessa Kam began preparations to start an
affiliate group informally within ARLIS/NA, to be known as the Progressive Art
Librarian's Network (PrALiNe). The first meeting will be held at the national
conference in Baltimore, on Monday, March 25, 3:00–4:00 p.m. Roger Lawson
continued to serve as ARLIS/NA liaison to both NINCH and DFC (see above); he
monitored their listservs, as well as the Digital Copyright Digest (University
of Maryland), and forwarded relevant messages to the Committee and ARLIS-L.
Create, disseminate, and update regularly a list of legislative topics and
issues of a particular concern to arts and image professionals; draft position
statements consistent with ARLIS/NA interests; publicize endorsed statements or
other documents describing the Society's position on legal issues and
legislation via the ARLIS/NA Web Site and Society publications. (III D)
were posted on ARLIS-L and the Committee's website. See above for Committee's
actions with Eldred v. Ashcroft brief. The possibility of publishing a
"legislative update" or other articles in the ARLIS/NA newsletter was
Assign individual committee members to monitor specific web sites and listservs
and report activities to membership via the ARLIS/NA Web Site and ARLIS-L; refer
items requiring action/responses to Executive Board. (III D)
Create a "recommended reading" list on topics such as intellectual

Site. (III D)
completed on website.
Create communication links and define responsibilities shared among Public
Policy Committee, Diversity Committee, Collection Development Committee, and
ARLIS/NA Chapters to identify issues and topics with legislative agendas. (III
At the
Committee's business meeting at the annual conference in Baltimore we will begin
a review of our liaison relationships and formal affiliations (such as DFC and
Affect). It is hoped that we will identify concrete steps that we can take in
the coming year to build on those relationships in ways that produce valuable
analyses of public policy issues of interest to ARLIS/NA members.

I had a really, really busy week. It was really positive for the most part. We got a win, which is always good. I was able to stand on the side during the game and do some coaching, and I was really into the game as kind of a half-fan, half-coach, just to try to help out the young guys.
A lot of people got a chance to play, and a lot of people who aren't here any more got a chance to put their talents on film, which was really good. Hopefully some other people around the league will pick them up based on what they saw us do on Thursday. Sadly, we lost a lot more players again. But the good thing about it is we're done cutting. So the people who are here now are your 2007 Denver Broncos, which is great.
One of the big surprises was us cutting Kyle Johnson. You can't say enough about him as a person and we're all sad to see him go. He's one of the brightest guys on this team and he's one of the hardest working. I really haven't read the paper, but I assume that everything the coaches have said about him has been positive. I'm sure they're not happy to have to get rid of him, but it's a complicated game with the salary cap, and you can only keep a certain amount of players.
I think one of the things that keeps me around here is that I can fill a lot of roles on the team, and I think that one of the things that hurt Kyle was that he's a fullback. A lot of the other guys we have playing fullback like Cecil Sapp, he's a fullback/halfback, and now they're making Mike Bell kind of a fullback/halfback. Versatility is the way to go, and it's the way this league has been going. Kyle is definitely one of the top five fullbacks in the league, and unfortunately fullbacks are kind of going out of style. A lot of people are using tight ends and what they call an "H-back" system. I expect him to get picked up pretty soon and I wish him luck with the rest of his career, and I'm sure the Broncos fans will miss him and his little touchdown dance that we've grown accustomed to seeing.
When Karl Paymah got hurt during the game, that was really tough for a lot of us. It was amazing for the guys on the field to be able to remain focused and play again. That's always something that's extremely difficult to do because when you're in the game, it's so serious and so important. Each play is really important, and then when something like that happens, you realize the game isn't quite as important as you thought it was.
I think Hamza Abdullah, who played with Karl in college, he was right next to him when it happened, and Hamza was really freaked out, but he managed to play a great game the rest of the way. We found out later he was better and that he was OK and it was just a concussion. You can't really say, "It's just a concussion," but given what it could have been, being hit right on the top of the head like that and being out on the ground, and stretchers and not moving and all that stuff, a concussion is a welcomed injury in comparison to what could've happened. I've seen things like that go really, really bad, so we're happy that Karl is back. I don't know what he's going to do this week, but it doesn't really matter. We're happy that he's here walking around just like that nothing ever happened. Really happy about that.
I had a really interesting week as far as being a minor celebrity. It was kind of up and down. First, on Tuesday I was going to the mall, because I had some more friends who had some babies, so I was back in the baby store buying more baby gifts. An older lady who said she was a retired teacher came over to me, which really threw me off, and she said, "Aren't you Domonique Foxworth, the College (in Colorado) guy?" I told her I'm actually a football player, but I've become really well-known for the CollegeInColorado.org commercials and campaign, which is fine with me. Her and her friend, who was also a retired teacher, were just going on and on about how great it is for the kids and it's a positive role model, which is exactly what I set out to do.
On Wednesday, I went to this concert they had with a bunch of hip-hop artists, T.I. and Ciara and a bunch of people. A friend of mine from middle school was out here because she works for the concert, so I went to see her and I hung out backstage. So I'm hanging out backstage and there's a bunch of kids back there grabbing autographs from T.I. and Ciara and T-Pain and all these other big hip-hop stars. I'm just hanging in the back, minding my business, and then some kids came over and wanted to take pictures with me. They were like, "It's Domonique Foxworth!" I felt kind of cool, I have to admit. So I'm standing back there taking pictures, and T.I. is looking back there like, "Who the heck is this guy?"
But anyway, it was really cool. I ended up staying for the whole concert backstage and I was able to get a couple of my teammates in also, so we hung out and had a good time. Surprisingly though, because I feel like I'm too old to be at young kid's hip-hop concerts. But we had a great time, it was a lot of fun.
But back to the game on Thursday. The concert was on Wednesday and the baby store stuff was on Tuesday, so I'm feeling good about my celebrity. I was like, "Ah, people really know me and respect my abilities, because I get the game off. I've come a long way." So I get to the game really early, way before kickoff like I normally do. Even though I'm not playing, I treat it like a regular game, and I normally go outside with Mike Harrington and Kenny Chavez, the equipment guys, and we go out and play catch before every game.
So this game, we go out and we're playing catch in the middle of the field, right on the 50, because the cheerleaders were out there on the sides and we try to stay out of their way. So as we're playing catch, this guy walks up behind me with a golf club, and kind of abrasively says to me, "Hey, you can't be here. Ball boys have to warm up on the sideline."
And he points at me, and says, "This right here, if you want to play in the middle of the field, you better go try out for an NFL team somewhere." So I kind of smiled at him, and I said, "Hypothetically, let's say I was getting ready to play in a game, would you let me warm up here?" And the guy responds, "Yeah," and then storms off.
So we just stayed in the middle of the field and kept playing catch, and he comes back about 10 minutes later as we're walking in and he's walking out, and he kind of angrily says, "Sorry," and storms right past me. So I was laughing and that was the big joke I was telling everybody. I thought it was hilarious and everybody I talked to was like, "You let him talk to you like that? You should've told him off." But I thought it was hilarious.
It didn't hurt my feelings. I understand that I'm 5-11 and 175 pounds. I look like a ball boy more than I look like a football player, which is fine. That was just funny, to bring me down back to earth really quickly after my week of being a big-time celebrity.
Another thing, before the game — like I said, I was warming up out there, and the cheerleaders are always working out around us, and it was just impressive to see how hard they work. Because I wasn't playing in this game, I was kind of taking everything in a little more, a little less focused, to be honest with you, than I normally am. But just to see how hard they work, and there's so many people that go into making our games go well. The guy who came out with the golf club is in charge of the grounds, and I realize what he was trying to do was just keep the grounds in good shape for me, potentially. So just thinking about him and all the guys in the yellow shirts, the security guys, and the people who work concessions, there's just tons of people.
Like I said, the cheerleaders were working really hard before the game. I don't know how many times they practice, but you forget that they're a team also. They work really hard, and they either have good games or bad games, just like us. I actually bumped into Keela Harris, one of the cheerleaders, after the game at Old Chicago, and she was with a bunch of her friends and we got to talk to them while we were waiting for our seats. It was just good to get their perspective on how hard they work.
And Keela has a blog, actually. So I'd recommend that everybody who reads my blog go on over and take a look. I was kind of making fun of her because my blog is a lot more popular than hers, so it would be nice if everybody gave her a little boost. Just tell her that I sent you so that she doesn't get confident and think that her blog is on the come-up or something. She still can't beat this blog. So yeah, check out the other blogs, but don't stop checking out my blog.
But anyway, it was cool to be able to talk to her and about three other cheerleaders about how hard they work and how important it is to them also. They have missed assignments sometimes just like us. Just to be able to think of them and the security guys and the grounds guys and everybody as a team themselves, and Sunday (or Thursday this week) is their big day also.
Another thing — at the signing at the Helio store last weekend, I was able to meet onechocolateqt, she showed up there. It was really cool. Her name is Patricia, and she came with her sister, Sheri, and it was a really good time. It wasn't a big turnout, which is another kick in the pants for my big celebrity, so I was able to just chill with her for about 20 minutes and just talk. It was really cool to be able to get to know her, and her mother is in the hospital and is on the recovery, so everybody say some prayers for her. But she's doing better, which is great.
And MontanaBroncoGirl, I didn't meet her, but I thought it was ironic that she wrote to the blog because this was the same week that a couple of my cousins, Jahad and Malik, visited me and stayed for a week, and they live in Great Falls, Montana. We had a great time with them and took them down to Nike Town and went on a little back-to-school shopping spree. They had a ball, and they were able to come to the game and take pictures with some of my teammates.
They had a really good time, but I was laughing with them kind of, because they're from Great Falls, Montana, and they think Denver is like the biggest city ever. They were able to go to Baltimore a little bit, which is where the rest of my family is, so this wasn't the first city they've been to, but it was just funny because they were like, "Wow, an Applebee's! I see the commercials all the time, but I've never been to one, I've never seen one." It was pretty funny.
Let's see, a sign off for this week… we'll go with jwlantz, he gave one that I like. We'll end it with his quote this week:
"Success is never final, and failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts." – Winston Churchill
It's pretty good. A little corny, to be honest with you, but if you get into it I think it hits home on a lot of levels.
Thanks everybody for reading. All Ready.

Slow Transfer Speed when Transferring Files on LAN from PC to Phone
Hi there. I'm having a bit of a problem with my HTC EVO 4G LTE. I'm rooted and am running Android 4.0.4 and Software Version: 2.13.651.1 710RD.
I recently started trying to set up a way to easily and quickly transfer files from my computer to my phone so I wouldn't have to hook it up via USB every time I wanted to put a file on my phone. I figured a LAN connection transfer would work fine, so I got ES File Manager and made some folders on my PC shared.
I went to LAN under ES File Manager and found my PC, connected to it with my username/pass, and found a file I wanted on my phone, and copied it over. It worked fine, but it was rather slow for a LAN connection; it took about 4 minutes to transfer a 123mb file, so about 0.51 megabytes/sec.
Can anyone offer any ideas as to why my file transfer is going so slow, despite being connected via LAN Wifi?? - 04-15-2013, 03:44 PM #2
Re: Slow Transfer Speed when Transferring Files on LAN from PC to Phone
Just purchased the HTC EVO 4g LTE and similar problem. Phone is latest version, shipped with everything as of April 2013. Unlocked and rooted, otherwise stock.
Transferring a 600 meg iso test file from server PC to phone and am lucky to get 10Mbps (1.25MB/s) over wifi LAN (router DD-WRT has bandwidth monitoring graph), and after 1 minute only 7% transferred. When I click Wifi then my router, phone shows link speed of 52Mbps to 65Mbps (which is the phones max I think). Using 4 year old laptop it takes 90 seconds over same wifi to transfer the same file and router bandwidth shows avg about 60Mbps. Connecting phone to laptop via USB, then use phone as external USB device and same ES File manager, and same fast speed as laptops. This shows that my phones ext sd card (class 10 = minimum 80+Mbps) and other hardware can handle the speed, and the only thing different is using slow wifi from phone or normal faster speed from laptop.
Cisco/Linksys E2000 router with DD-WRT. Have tried 2.4g, 5g, every channel on both as well as different security settings. Router status settings show actual wireless rate of 300Mbps to 150Mbps depending on how I set it up, and laptop confirms it has the speed. Read all the info I could find over the past 3 days and have ran out of things to try. Even bought another router, TP-Link TL-WR940N, and exact same results no matter what settings I used.
This is almost exactly like the common issue Nexus 4 users are complaining about, another JB device, and looks as though something in JB is the culprit. Google android issue 40306 and see how rampant this JB problem is. None of the "possible fixes" listed helped.
Even though the wifi specs on the phone are better than my laptop, I am fine with it being only as fast as the laptop, or even a little slower. 40Mbps (5MB/s) seems like the minimum I should be getting on a bad day, yet it breaks a sweat hitting 10Mbps (1.25MB/s).
Please, any ideas or at least others with similar equipment showing better results?
EDIT: My HTC One V as well as HP Touchpad running ICS have the same very slow wifi lan transfers. Yet any Windows machine (4 laptops and HTPC) all transfer same file at around 60 Mbps or better.Last edited by RobsTV; 04-17-2013 at 06:18 AM.
Re: Slow Transfer Speed when Transferring Files on LAN from PC to Phone
Your limited to what your sdcard can do and if your getting 10Mbps on a class 6 card than i say your doing good
Re: Slow Transfer Speed when Transferring Files on LAN from PC to Phone
Made a mistake on my SD card type in first post (now corrected). Used a class 10 card, not a class 6. I am getting 60Mbps on the ext SD card in phone, as shown above by the test that downloaded same file into phone with phone set as external drive connected by USB to laptop. Class 6 is rated at minimum 6 MB/sec or 48 Mb/s, and class 10 is rated at minimum 10 MB/sec or 80 Mb/s. This Sandisk Ultra class 10 tops out around 15 MB/s write speed, (120Mbps) and much faster than that for read speeds, yet LAN speed tests were the same slow 10Mbps both ways when tested with phones wifi..
I would be happy if the wifi could even do 40Mbps.
One more quick note on card speed. With this phone being capable of 1080p video, I don't think you could get by with an SD card that would not at least to 4 MB/s (32Mbps), and a class 10 card might be required, which is why I went that route.
To put the speed of the LAN transfer in perspective, the 10Mbps speed is 5 times "slower" than an old 54g router, and a little slower than even wireless b. Again though, this is for LAN, and nothing to do with Internet speeds..Last edited by RobsTV; 04-17-2013 at 06:20 AM.

Snyder: Michigan pension tax will stand despite surplus
DETROIT (AP) - Gov. Rick Snyder says he won't reconsider a controversial tax on income of certain Michigan retirees.
Michigan has a large budget surplus, but Snyder tells The Detroit News that revisiting the 2012 tax is not on his radar. He calls it an issue of fairness, saying pensions shouldn't be treated differently for tax purposes than other retirement income.
Instead, Snyder says he's looking at increasing the personal tax exemption on the first $4,000 of income.
Income tax now applies to all retirement income for residents born since 1946, whether it's from a public or private pension, 401(k) or IRA. Nonetheless, exemptions can be claimed for up to $20,000 for a single filer and up to $40,000 for joint filers.

China and Tibet
The invasion
The Chinese occupation
The invasion
After years of unrest in China it became really a country after the foundation
of the people's republic with the communist Mao Tse Toeng as the leader. Not
long after that the government announced they wanted to set free their
neighbours Taiwan and Tibet. At that time Tibet was govern by a governor,
because the Dalai Lama wasn't old enough yet to rule the county. The original
governor, Reting Rinpoche was just deprived of his function because of
corruption. Also the next governor Taktra Rinpoche allowed corruption, this
resulted to a few days of violence.
Unfortunately this was at the same time as the renewed hunger after power. So
Tibet was not good prepared against
the Chinese attacks. Tibet was a
peace-loving country that hated to fight, they had an army, but that was so bad
that it couldn't do anything against the Red Chinese army. They also didn't get
any help of the united Nations because they had been isolated for so long.
One part of the red 'rescue-army' went to East-Tibet. There they conquered the
city Dengkok. Here Tibet had her only victory. Lots of
Khampa'sset free the city. Soon after that a
much bigger part of their army reconquered Dengkok and Chamdo. This started at
7 October of 1950. The governor of this region, Ngabo decided to surrender,
without permission of Lhasa.
In spite of the protest of India they continued going to Lhasa at the end of
1951. Now the Tibetan government saw the gravity of the situation. They asked
help from the Gadong oracle. He said the Dalai Lama had to be king
now. So Tenzin Gyatso became when he was 15 years old, at 17 November 1950 the
14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. In spite of this Tibet was occupied by China, after
thousands people were killed.
The Chinese occupation
According to the Chinese's they only wanted to help modernising, but soon it
was clear this was only for self-interest. They wanted to destroy the Tibetan
language, culture and religion and so have the nation in their power. The first
famine came because of the many Chinese soldiers came to Tibet. Further there
was no country who wanted to help Tibet, in spite of all the horribleness that
revealed. Ultimate the Dalai Lama decided to fly from Tibet and live in
banishment in India.
Now the Tibetans get awake of everything that was going. The oppressors were
attacked, but they were lots stronger and soon all revolt was knocked down. Now
the destroying of the culture, language and religion really started. The
Tibetans were discriminated openly and the human rights were infringed more and
more. When the Red Guards came to Tibet, there were rows between several
Chinese parties, but especially the Tibetans were the victims.
People who didn't accept the situation in their country were brought to
prisons, Buddhism writings, fresco's and sacred buildings were destroyed
and fired, religious writings were used as toilet-paper, nuns and monks were
constrained to trampled down sacred objects, they had to beat each other when
someone didn't want to join, traditional plaits were cut off, everything
Tibetans was ruined. People had to beat their family, dig their own grave,
women were raped and pregnant women had to had an abortion. People were
tortured in prisons or put in concentration camps. And this is just a little
part of all the cruelties.
When the situations was stabilised, the Chinese's wanted the Tibetans to
cultivate wheat because they like that better then barley. But the Tibetans got
bad muck and the climate was not fit for cultivating wheat. When they didn't
had enough they were punished. Meanwhile they continued destroying the culture
and torturing in concentration camps.
In the eighties there was almost nothing left of the Tibetan culture and
nature. Also American satellites established there was a Chinese rocket basis
placed in Tibet Also nowadays Tibet is an occupied country, where the Tibetan
nation is the minority. The original faith is allowed again and one third of
the cloisters is rebuild. The oppressing is on a bureaucratic level now. Monks
have to sign documents so they affirm they are faithful to the regime, they
have to go to a re-education curse, some religious leaders are spines. For
normal people it's not allowed to criticise the regime.

The 6-megapixel Nikon Coolpix L2 offers only the bare necessities for picture taking but, for its class, delivers excellent photos that require minimal effort. The Coolpix L2 squarely targets casual photographers, and more experienced users may be frustrated by the camera's lack of controls. Cash-strapped entry-level photographers may want to check out the L2's cheaper siblings -- the 5-megapixel
The Nikon Coolpix L2's battleship-grey plastic body is slender and lightweight at 170g when loaded with two AA batteries and an SD card. This attractively designed camera will fit easily in larger pockets and feels comfortable worn around the neck on a lanyard.
Although the camera's 51mm (2-inch) LCD seems small in comparison with other models' 64mm (2.5-inch) screens, it's bright and viewable in almost all conditions -- an important characteristic since the Coolpix L2 lacks an optical viewfinder. Under low light, the display takes longer than usual to brighten, but the control layout is roomy and comfortable to use.
To the right of the LCD sits a rocker for the camera's 38mm-to-118mm (35mm equivalent) 3x zoom lens, plus menu, playback and delete buttons. A four-way controller near the bottom edge of the camera switches between automatic shooting, the 15 scene modes and a VGA movie mode.
Nikon equipped the Coolpix L2 with several useful features, such as Face-Priority autofocus, scene assist, D-lighting, automatic red-eye removal and Best Shot Selector. D-Lighting is extremely handy, allowing you to automatically brighten underexposed images in playback and to save the adjusted picture as a copy.
Besides preset white-balance options and exposure compensation, the Coolpix L2 has no manual controls. Picture-quality options are limited to size (in megapixels), with no choice of compression, ISO sensitivity, shutter speed or aperture, nor does the camera indicate the settings it's chosen.
Image quality
Despite the Coolpix L2's simplicity, image quality is surprisingly good. Shots have pleasing colours, although automatic white balance bleaches beige walls and curtains white. Test images are mostly sharp and crisp. The Nikon L2 has solid macro capabilities, although it's tricky to get the subject in focus -- at wide angles, the camera is frequently unable to focus. We noticed occasional purple halos along high-contrast edges, but the camera did a decent job of preserving highlights and shadows.
The Coolpix L2's overall glow is dulled by its performance. It requires 4.5 seconds to wake up and inflicts a shutter lag of 0.9 seconds in the best conditions. Under the worst, it can take up to 2 seconds between shutter press and image capture, and with the flash active, it hesitates almost 7 seconds between shots.
The extremely bare-bones Nikon Coolpix L2 is a sluggish performer that takes some very good pictures for a budget model. If you want extremely simple, one-button shooting, the Coolpix L2 might be for you. Just don't plan on shooting the kids or pets.

Hi Anthony,
This message is in regard to the 'How to Repent' video you submitted. While we understand why you would post the video, the moderators and admin feel that it's a bit too much. The man in the video appears to have some considerable issues, which is perhaps what you were hoping to highlight, but he appears to be at an atypical extreme, and the descriptions of what he would like to do with his step daughter (in past and present scenarios) are too detailed. As such, we are taking the video down.
I hope you can understand our position in this matter. It was a judgment call on an atypical video. If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, contact myself or any of the other moderators, and we'll do our best to address them.
